But as -Lincoln said:

But they are now a pitiful and rapidly dwindling minority.
Even one of his trusted lieutenants finally saw the light, and

Fine Work
WE FEEL and we believe a
.Tflnltfinn cmint.v ffAl thav
to Klamath eounty, and particularly to the' Klamath jury, for
so summarily disposing of the case of County Judge Fehl.
The jury only spent twenty minutes on the case,--and only
twelve minutea in actual deliberation the evidence was so
overwhelming, the skill with whloh Assistant Attorney Ralph
Moody presented that evidence so CONVINCING, that they
felt further time was not necessary.
IT WASN'T necessary. In fact, in our judgment longer time
waa not necessary in ANY of these oases, and had they
been held anywhere but in Jackson eounty, probably further
time would not have been spent.
Yet a more neutral eounty, a county in which there was
lesB prejudice one way or the other than in Klamath could
scarcoly have been selected. The plain truth is the people of
that county took no interest in the case whatever, most of
them didn't even know it was going on. The decision was left
and was entirely up, to the members of the jury, and to them
Blone, and in immediately returning a verdiot of guilty, they
merely performed a PLAIN AND INESCAPABLE DUTY.
SUCH a verdict should go far toward making the local situa
tion plain to the rest of the state. For there ean now be
no alibi anent the iniquitous and entirely mythical Mcdford
gang. Certainly there was no gang at work in Klamath. The
judge presiding was the judge ttie defendant himself selected,
and whose integrity and fairness, his own organization repeat
edly extolled.. No defendant therefore eould have had a fairer
trial, or a trial freer from any atmosphere of bias, one way or
the other.
The Situation
T'HE rest of the state should see elearly now, that the only
gang endangering the peace and seeurity of Jackson oounty,
was the "gang" responsible for these erimes, and the gang
that has been broken aud forever repudiated, by the conviction
of its "honorary Presidont" and ita "honorary" member.
e a a e J
TOR as the trail divulged Fehl waa new a REGULAR
member. My not Neither waa L. A. Banks a "REGULAR"
president. Both were "honorary."
As a result, Judge Fehl, when the Good Government con
gress was going along great guns, and he saw in it a con
venient vehicle to greater political power, he proudly
stated he was, and had been a member of the organization;
then when the bricka began to tumble, and association with the
organization threatened embarrassment and trouble, ha pub
licly declared, HE WAS NOT AND NEVER HAD BEEN A
MEMBER, and had only attended one meeting of the eon
gress, and then at the order of the Grieve grand jury!
OTHING eould more clearly MYal the true Fehl character,
' or the ealential spirit of tha organization, he once led
and later repudiated. This sneaking subterfuge rested, as did
nearly all of Fehl's policiea and political principles upon a
HALF truth, which is really worse than complete untruth,
for it is not only essentially false but cowardly. It seeks to
hide behind the half truth and thua escape responsibility of
mendacity.
So Fehl was NOT a member of the congress because he was
an HONORARY member, just as he only attended one meeting
of the congress, because the other meetinga he attended were
cfficially designated as ASSEMBLIES 1

speakeasy, to hear a few ribald yarns
and the click of billiard balls. I felt
In the mood last night, dressed up
for It In a big way even to carrying
Bhly Oaxtons all-amber cane.
Thus bedecked I sauntered forth
after dinner. It had been many
months elnce I had been on, what
Pepya called, "the loose." What to
do? Where to go? 80 Z crossed 10
Che Waldorf for light from that world-
lng Ted Saucier. He would know. He
bad been about. But waa not In.
Strolling west over 40th street
man sitting on an upturned box at a
dark doorway called: "Lota of fun
down-stairs. Plenty of girls!" I am
not a brave fellow and I knew It was
a clip-joint. But It waa my night
to frivol and In a sudden clutch
bravado I turned down the stairs.
Dim lit. It waa sliced Into booths.
A seedy, drowsy pianist as I entered
became crouchlngly alert, fairly
breathing on the keys aa he struck up
"Margie." A waiter tried piloting me
to a far corner. But I've been around
three Sunday excursions In a row
to Atlantic City! So I sat at a table
near the door, holding my hat. A
minion In mussy Tuxedo with pencil,
poised, took my order for a bottle of
ginger ale. "Plenty of the hard stuff 1"
he informed. I shook my head.
He returned with the ginger ale
and a blonde, a bedraggled doxy with
tarnished silver slippers. "This la
Babs," he said. "One of our hostesses
and a swell little number." Babs
with a quick bow aald: "I'll have a
gin." Drank It neat and edged cloeer.
From out of town?" with a hand
lightly on my sleeve. "From the mid
dle west." I said. She had a cousin
in Topeka. I asked If she knew Jay
E. House. She didn't. She did not
live In Topeka, Just a cousin there.
Would I care to dance? J wouldn't.
Babs waa certain she had eeen me
somewhere. Wasn't I in the movies?
reminded her ao much of Warner
Baxter. She loved him and would
like another gin, I told her my name
was aarry suvey, and traveled for a
garden Implement house out of Des
Moines. She thought that nice
traveling. She was going to the Chi
cago Fair. Wasn't I a bit lonely? She
had a ducky apartment around the
corner where we could "get away
from all these people." There were
only seven In the room, Including
the waiters. I was sorry but I had to
catch a train for Poughkeepsle and
asked for the check. "Tack on an
other gin," babbled Babs.
Having led with my chin In this
quixotic adventure I was ready for
the clip. Check 28.S0. Being near
the door and fairly light on mv feet
I bluffed a protest. Three gins and
bottle of ginger ale las so I I
argued stiffly. Mussy Tuxedo came
bristling, "what kind of a mug are
you?" he growled. "You come in here
and get yourself cock-eyed (I had
not even touched the ginger ale) .
take up this lady's time and squawk
over a 58 check." Lifting the ante to
w that way Is part of the routine to
make the sucker feel more the worm.
Babs was giving the whole proceedings
the arctic eye. "I had no Idea he was
so spoiled when he came in," she
sniffed.
I did not thrill to the hyena half
circle of gorilla waiters In the back
ground. So I decided on comprom
ise, even thinking of showing mv
police card. But after all I had wad
ed Into this with guards down and
sncuid take the sock, "in give you
10," I said, adding, "That or a police
wmauv." Tney retired across the
room in a huddle. Mussy Tuxedo re
turned and grumbled: "Qlmma the
ten bucks and ecram." ,1 handed over
the bill and bestowed my lowest carpet-kissing
bow on Babs. "Go cut
yourself a hunk of throat," she aald.
All the way up the rlcketv stair. I
had a feeling I would never make the
top. A stab in the back or aome
thlng. "Enjoy yourself?" Inquired the
puller-tn, still on hi box outside.
"Dandy," I replied. Home my wife
looked up from her book to the clock
It was Just 10 p. m and archly
headlined: "Roue stafgera home at
dawn I" And as I went into my bed
room Jeered: "Check your delerlum
tremens In the hall?" I did not reply.
Just turned out th light and went

merhorn, deposed Jackson county
sheriff; Arthur LaDleu. former busi
ness manager on L. A. Banks' news-
paper; Walter J. . Jones, mayor ox

plicity In the ballot theft, and the
persons, who have pleaded guilty.
Banks Sentence Soon.
The next action will be taken in
still another court, that of Lane
county, where it was reported in the
Klamath Falls announcement, L. A.
Banks, convicted of murder In the
second degree for the slaying of Con
stable Oeorge J. Prescott, will be sen
tenced to life imprisonment. Judge
Sklpworth, la was understood yester

The guilty plea of Brecheen yester
day reduced the prosecutions to be
continued by the state" to three the
cases of Croft. Martin and Claude
Ward, brother-in-law of Banks, who
was recently granted a motion for
separate trial. The three cases were
moved into Jurisdiction of the Klam
ath county court under the change

Cases against two Indcted men. Vir
gil Edlngton of Gold Hill and E. A.
Fleming of Jacksonville, were dta
mlased upon request of the state,
that they might testify in the ballot
trlala.
Glenn Freed.
The one acquittal gained by the
defense In the five trials held brought
freedom to John L. Glenn, ex-county
Jailer.
The record up to date yesterday in
the ballot theft history gave to the
state four convictions, nine confes
sions, two dismissals and three prose
cutions yet to be carried out. To the
