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

in spite of reports to the contrary, business men of Medford
don't all wear horns and tails.
The concert will be given on

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

the life ot Oeorge Preecott but Jurors

Whatever may be our personal
opinion of the guilt of Mr. and Mrs.

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

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

by the Preecott murder for murder

And so that hatred was climaxed
when Oeorge Preecott died. Today

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

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.

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:

story you printed on the Cost of

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

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

some hope that she will not be such

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

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.

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

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.
