Support the IE HAVE been asked to give the Gleeman's concert at the High School auditorium a Under the leadership of Jim is doing good work, and if properly supported will play an im portant part in our civic life during the ensuing year. The Gleemen are devoted to Medford and Jackson county need harmony. If popular sup port is forthcoming, the organization will tour the oounty and furnish musio for the joint meetings of the local chamber of oommerce, and the various oounty granges. . a e e AS everyone knows music doth soothe the savage breast. There may not be many savage breasts to soothe, but good songs can contribute materially to promoting friendliness and good will, along the highways and byways, which we all desire. The gleemen can also demonstrate to our rural neighbors, that in spite of reports to the contrary, business men of Medford don't all wear horns and tails. The concert will be given on will sing and the entire program who attend will not only hear a satisfaction of doing their bit, to and support a worthy cause. The New Deal THE first card played in the New Deal is a high one none other than the King of Diamonds, one J. P. Morgan, son of Wall Street's "Gay Ninety" Czar. His appearance shows the Roosevelt deal IS a new one. For hitherto J. P. has been the last to come forward in any con igressional inquiry. Now he is the first. Moreover according to press scat in the committee room, smiling. Mr. Morgan seldom smiles. And as a witness, he proceeded to talk, and in public at least, the head of the House of Morgan, seldom talks. Just what Mr. Morgan will say, and what the revelations of the inquiry will be, it iB too oarly to state. But the fact that lie will say something, and smile saying it, is first, pago news. From a 'Wall Street standpoint the new deal is certainly on! The Job Must Be Finished A GREAT battle for justice has been won. But this is no time for the law abiding people of Jaokson oounty, to lull themselves to sleep with the false assumption that the war FORCED UPON THEM is over, and there is nothing more to be done. No issue is settled until it is settled right. And the supreme issue in Jackson oounty will guilty of perjury are punished, and those guilty of stealing and destroying ballots in the last election, are put in prison whore they belong. STRANGE as it may seem the forces of lawlessness, led by the apostles of continued dissension and strife, are not re pentent, nor have they reformed. They are amenable neither to reason nor persuasion, . The handwriting is on the wall, but they either oan't read it, or refuse to. As one of them remarked in Eugone the other day: "We have just begun to fight!" All right, so be it. The fight is not of Jackson county's choosing, but if nothing less will and lawlessness, then by all means let them have it. Perhaps a few more prison bers of the Good Government congress, will accomplish what appeals and arguments these many months have, failed to accomplish. IN bringing the guilty to justice, the law enforcement officials of Jackson oounty will have the right-thinking people of Medford and Jackson oounty solidly behind them. The people of Jackson county don't want more trouble. They long for harmony and peace they waht to get back to work and get the maximum benefits from the return of normal prosperity, that is on the way. But bringing the guilty to law, and upholding the basic principles of an orderly democratic government, in this section of "trouble" to them. It represents a solemn .nd MUST BE PERFORMED I Editors in Comment on Verdict in Banks Case The Verdict. LlirUyn A. Sink is guilty of aeo- ond dgrM murder. Edith Robrtln Bfcnka wtu not guilty of ny complic ity In th killing or Ctooi-gs Frescou. This was tht decision ot Jurors who spent three weeks listening to such evidence u state end defense present. Bsnks fired the shot which claims the life ot Oeorge Preecott but Jurors toy their second degree verdict re vealed their belief that the killing vm not premeditated. Whatever may be our personal opinion of the guilt of Mr. and Mrs. Bantu, a Jury haa pawed Judgment and we have Insisted that Mr. Banka abide by the decision of eourte so must we find satisfaction with the verdict. The Jury haa decided that the kill ing was not premeditated but we all know that bloodshed had Impended for weeks aa the strife In jackeon county had become mora and more bitter. Perhaps the killing of George Preecott waa unpremeditated but blttemeaa and hatred which never should have existed, bred that emo tional tension which was climaxed by the Preecott murder for murder the Jury has decided It waa. Obsessed by the Mea that there waa little good in thla world that Individuals and groups were person ally antagonistic to him. Banks per mitted hla imagination to feed his hatred. He used hla newspaper for personal grievances. Unfortunately, there were men and women who ral lied to his support because he made Ms plea of persecution sound con vincingAnd the support they gave Gleemem boost, and gladly do so.

Those good concert, but will have the promote a commendable effort, reports, Mr. Morgan took his not be settled right until those satisfy the forces of violence sentences for leaders and mem justice, restoring respeot for the the state, does not represent inescapable civic duty, WHICH him fed his ego and gav him a greater sense of the genulneneaa of his Imaginary wrongs. And so that hatred was climaxed when Oeorge Preecott died. Today the Preacott home la a saddened one. A widow, ohlldren, grandchildren and friends are aad. The Bank family ta a saddened one. Mrs. Banks was freed (and thla was not unexpected), but her loyalty and devotion to her husband are evidence of the sorrow which she must experience as the life separation threatens. Her 13-year-old daughter must, Indeed, be old beyond her yeara aa the shadow of tragedy haa touched her. And all this because of misunder standing and hatred. There is much good In this world. If we look for It we are much less likely to bring tragedy than If we look for that which Is unworthy. Ashland Tidings. . The Ranks Verdict. Llewellyn A.

THB TWENTY FIVE HtJ NDRED DOLLAR BABY A newspaper editor who oomes as near being a friend of the oondue-1 tor'a aa la possible In the clrcum atancee, had an- oth e r baby a while ago and, as a mark of esteem aa well aa for the benefit of our readers, we per mitted her to give the low down about the event here. In oaae you skipped It, per haps thinking It was hot quite proper read lng. I'll say thla pro fessional woman set a fine example for a lot of sisters by f remaining at home for the delivery of her baby, (b) engaging the family doctor as obstetrician and paying him 933, his ordinary fee, (c) engaging a nurse for two weeks at $36 a week, and (d) providing the necessary articles together with clothes for the baoy at a total cost of $3-Bfl (she made most of the things herself, or used old things given by friends or made over clothes cast off by an older child), The editor now has a choice A-No. 1 baby. Well, thla report naturally upset some of the snob slaters, If you know what I mean. If you don't listen: Dear Dr. Brady: Here 1 the other side or that story you printed on the Cost of the Editor's baby. ... I followed all the instructions of the doctor. ... I only wanted that baby. Well, I had the baby at one of the best hospitals In (a large , city), also a leading specialist ... as well aa day and night , nurse for five weeks , , .

Total about ea.soo-nd we had counted on $S00. But we have a lovely daugnter Had this mother added to her final the slaying of Preacott, and Mrs. Banka waa party to the plot. The defense ult 11 iced the same tac tics that Banka had used In his news paper attacks, and resorted to per jury, appeals to olass prejudice and the slandering of the best citizens of Jackson oounty. The attorneys re hashed the abuse, vindication and misrepresentation that characterized the ravings of Banka In his own news paper. The defense raised the plea of emo tional insanity. His attorneys. however, chose to exonerate his every act and picture him aa a hero lead ing the hosts of rlghteouaness against a wicked world a martyr in a holy cause. So with every trick of the legal trade they aought to defeat justice. Insane or not, however, Banka naa proven hie unfltnesa to be at large, and belongs in permanent confine- met for the safety of society. Cslem Capital-Journal.

Coos Bay Times. The Banka Verdict. The Banka Jury arrived at a Just verdict when It convicted the former Medford publisher ot second degree murder for killing Constable Oeorge Preacott and absolved Mrs. Banka of responsibility for the crime. Banka committed a deliberate mur der, but he waa not abnormal enough to escape the noose. Mrs. Banka err ed In sympathising with her fanatical husband. Instead of pointing out to htm his folly, she encouraged him In his madness. But she cannot be held Justly aa a participant In the crime. Banka made his first mistake when he embarked on his career as a pub Itahei. He poesssed the type of mind that barred him from successful news paper work. He lacked mental poise and Judgment. He waa not able to distinguish between the seeming and the actual. Thla lack of mental bal ance caused him to use hla newspaper to fight his personal battles a fatal error. A newspaper must be more than a personal organ. If It desires to win influence In Its community. As Banks continued to use his edi torial pages for himself, he created bit ter opposition to hinvelf and hla news paper. Banks' mental equipment waa such that he Interpreted this hostility as the work of scheming enemies. Thus hla mind became obsessed with the thought that he waa the victim of an unjust persecution waged by the enemies of good government, whose only champion he was. It was thla frame of mind that led him Into trouble. Yet, In spite of his erratic temper ament. Banks waa a man of a gre.it j deal of ability. He possessed a sulk- i lng personality. He had tne esaen-! ttala of leadership, with him and his lieutenants, good government meant political victory, regardless of the meana taken to achieve victory. The ballot theft, to him, waa a righteous move, because it would continue his men in office. Banks never appeared to understand that good government depends on observance of law. The only good that has come out of Uie Banu iuwAtafef gwooraiup remark a few more words I'd feel some hope that she will not be such a mark next time. But she did not say the lovely daughter la worth all she cost. I know of aeveral excellent physi cians in various parte of the country who attend their own patients In confinement for a minimum fee of $35, and the best physicians every where accept an average of 950 for uncomplicated cases. In my Judgment It la merely a de sire to show off, to put on alra, to' keep up with the Joneses, that makes a lot of snob slaters run to obstetric specialists and baby specialists, and fancy day, night and special nurses, and all the rest of the hokum that these rltsy ao-oalled hospitals market to the gullible population. Mind. I am not Implying that obstetric or baby specialists, special nurses, and the like are never needed. I merely say that. In my opinion, anyone who engages the attendance of these ex pensive servant without being ad vised by his family or regular physi cian that it is necessary is a plain what I can't call him in print, or a snob, usually both.

Dille Co) la a demonstration of how a news paper should not be conducted. Mr. Banka haa given us that. Albany Democrat-Herald. Banks Is Convicted. After three weeka of listening to sensational testimony and impassion ed oratory, the Jury of seven men and five 'women hearing the caae against Llewellyn A. Banks, admitted slayer of George J. Preacott, Medford con stable, yesterday brought In a verdict convicting him of second degree mur der. His wife, Edith Robertlne Banka. they decided waa guiltless of any crime. Normally, this verdict would write an end to the tumultuous career of the Medrord orchard 1st, agitator and publisher, for the recommendation of the Jury makes a life penitentiary sentence mandatory. Aa it la, how ever, there may be a new trial. De fense attorneys have filed a motion asking for another trial, although they have not given their arguments aa to why such a re -hearing la Justi fied. It la our opinion that Banks and hla lawyers should let well enough alone. Certainly the greater part of the citizens of Oregon believe him guilty of first degree murder and It may be that a second Jury could be convinced of thla belief, On the other hand, the prosecution should be satisfied. Life Imprison ment, without opportunity for par ole. Is admittedly severe punishment. Banka would be aa definitely out of the way locked behind prison walls for the few remaining yeara of his life aa he would be were he hanged. Proponents and eupportera of capital punishment will not, of course, agree with that statement. We can aee where nothing would be gained by anufflng out Banks' life, and some how we believe Imprisonment will be more punishment for him than death. Moat people who have followed the case will be pleased that Banks waa not given hla freedom. Only the man'a most ardent foLlowera could Justify the killing of an officer, legal ly armed with a warrant, who was attempting to arrest him. Aa to Mrs. Banks, it was the coa sensue of opinion that she waa not guilty ot murder. Most people con sidered her the unwitting and obedi ent tool In the hands of her husband. Although we believe a first degree verdict would have been none too se vere for Banks, we are content to ad mit that Justice haa been served by the Jury'e decision. What of Perjnry? State prosecutors in the Banks trial at Eugene were successful in proving definitely that four persona claiming to be eye-wltneasea of the Preacott shooting had perjured themselves on the stand. Although these four claim ed to have seen the tragedy, all were forced to admit they saw no other person , on the street. Some of them were proved to be at places fax re PYROIL m CHRIS WOLFF. Thone moved from the Banka home at the time. Now what wilt be done with these people acknowledged to be guilty of perjury? False testimony under oath la pun ishable under the laws of the state by heavy flnea and imprisonment. In all probability no action will be taken against them. Aa the editor of the Medford Mall Tribune pointe out, sel dom, if ever, are such wltneasea pros ecuted. Yet they have committed a crime who give fala testimony. Although nothing la liable to be done in thla case. It la well for wit nesses or potential wltneasea to keep In mind the seriousness of thla crime. Sometime or other prosecution might follow and bring severe punishment. Roseburg News-Review. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, May 33.
