The tragedy shows the need of restraint, and self control, on the part of the citizens of where their sympathies may lie. Emotions are still set on a "hair trigger", and therefore the less street corner contro versies engaged in, the better.

This is a batting average of about .835 which is aa unprecedented in the legal, as it is .in the baseball profession. Only those olose to these cases, appreciate the time Mr. Moody devoted to them, the personal sacrifices he made, the skill with which he prepared them. They talk about an eight hour day I Mr. Moody, for over four months, put in fsora 12 to 20 hours a day. In fact during important crises he worked from sunrise to sunrise, without batting an eye, or uttering a word of complaint. He was liter ally on the job ALL THE TIME. He was given invaluable assistance by the state and local polioe, by the district attorney's office, by the Committee of 100, and the right thinking people of Medford and Jackson county, but the chief responsibility from the outset was on his shoulders and his alone, and there to the end it remained. He was the "GENERAL". And to him, as to the command ing general, in a victorious battle, the chief oredit ia due, to him the honors Bhould and WILL be given. EFFECTIVE as he was, in the conduct of the state's case, eager as he NATURALLY was, to "make good"; from first to last, he never departed his profession, never resorted to taotics or methods which were not in harmony with the standards of a GENTLEMAN. Subjected to personal abuse, actually in danger at many times; he never retaliated in kind, to the firat; he never changed his eourse, because of the second. To this community he rendered a publio service, whioh can scarcely be over-estimated, and this section of Southern Oregon owes him a debt of gratitude, whioh it will take many years to repay. Mr. Banks Writes a Book 1 LLEWELLYN A. BANKS, convicted of murder in the second degree and now awaiting sentence in Lane county prison, has written a book. This was better employment than brooding darkly. It lifted the mind of the prisoner out of the abyss, and though in all likelihood the volume is not a great contri bution to letters its preparation was important to the well-being of the author. And to his credit it should be said that the book does not treat of his own troubles. Yet the obsession which drove until he bf Jfime Banks the criminal, is evident in the brief re view of this work that thus far has been afforded us. From his cell, as he did in the sunlight when he was free, Banks be lieves he perceives the world to be decadent and doomed. The messianio delusion persist, we the author reconciles his own disregard for authority and order, which culminated in the worst he alone knows what is amiss with humanity, does not appear. These zealots that deal in confused and cpithetical generalities, assailing things as they are on the theory that whatever is is wrong, do not regard themselves aa under least obligation to be logical. For illogio to them is irrefutable. Thus Banks in his The book is called "Weighed course that our civilization haa ing. Toor fatuous scribbler. There is mueh amiss with the world, and a deal that might easily be righted, but it wasn't the world that waa weighed and found wanting.

Banki, convicted murderer, and by Judge Pehl. Comiderlng the bit terness and tension which the Jack son county feud aroused. It it noth ing short of remarkable that five men have been convicted ox the crime. That Judge Pehl, whose actual participation in the lifting of the ballots was not charged, and whose connection was that of a conspirator, always difficult to prove, wae found guilty in a neutral court In a county where feelings had not been aroused should be adequate y-roof of the des perate character or the venture which Banks and Fehl were engaged In. They had visions hot only of selelng the government of Jackson county, but of spreading their power to a wider area. In a season of wide spread social unrest tt was not be yond the bound of possibility that they might have succeeded. That they did not succeed Is due to the courageous battle led by tepu table citizens of Medford who were determined to ssv their county from the misrule of the "good gov ernment congress", and by the Med ford Mall Tribune whlrh In the fere of slanderous campaign agalnat It, fought for genntne "law and order" In Jackson county, in a time or d tIc crisis like that. It was easy for fenre-ttrad dlers to cling to their roosts, to rtrfme to take sides for fenr of Injuring their business. Thank God. trier were men and women In Medford who had courage enough to take sides 1 and enough of them to take a stand for sanity and real good government. The gratitude of the state Is due to them, for the disease which attained growth there, was ready to overrun the state. It is fortunate that the clean-up had been complete. Bven the Ore gonian after the Banks conviction, proposed that pending cases be drop ped and peace be restored. That would have meant to overlook fel onies, to continue in office a sheriff and a county judge who had con spired against the very foundation of orderly government,- the right of the people to express themselves at the ballot. Local Issues would, not have been settled; and the old feud would hare cropped out at the next local election. Now, while there still re main a few eases to be tried, the rout of the Medford faction lit has been complete; and that beautiful city should enjoy a season of respite from tht factional strife which culmlnat- in robbery and murder.

Calif. was our warning to the voters Just prior to the primary In May 1933. However, the voters In a many-sided struggle for tho nomination, gave It to the now-convicted Earl H. Pehl. We printed In these articles expos ing the character of this man Fehl several quotations from his news paper and after the quotation In one of these articles, we stated: '. . . . we consider this mental attitude destructive and Improper and' scarcely the type of thinking which would become a man repre senting Jackaon county and holding one of the most Important offices of public trust." Hundreds of his actions since his e'ectlon, particularly, have only em phasized the truth spoken In thla prediction IS months ago. Jackson county has been buncoed more thoroughly by Earl Fehl than by any other man tn the history of this county I However, that quick, honest and truthful verdict of the Klamath county citizens Guilty is the polit ical and public-trust death-knell of the man who had such a wonderful opportunity, but who fell by the wayside when temptation came, be cause his mental attitude was de structive, egotistical and lacking the balance that the holder of any court position should possess. . Ashland Tidings. The "good government" county Judge and sheriff of Jackson county have been found guilty of stealing ballots In order to prevent a recount. These men gained office by telling the voters all other candidates were crooks. It Is sometimes true that the ones who raise the cry of thief are the biggest thieves.- (Albany Democrat-Herald.) County Judge Pehl la the last to be convicted of conspiracy In connec tion with the Jackson county ballot theft, and It required only 30 min utes for the Jury to reach a verdict. One by one the leaders of the so called "good government league" are being convicted of crimes growing out of their attempt to control the political situation In Jackson county. Nothing like the operations of this gang has been seen In Oregon since the hectic days of the Ku Klux Klan 10 years and more ago. ( Astoria Budget Astorlan.) The ObJectlvenrM of a Verdict The good conduct of a community in observing the progress of a trial spread generously over the pages of the Oregon prese Is something worth mentioning. The Medford ballot theft case, transferred to Klamath county simply because It might have been difficult to obtain an unbiased Jury In the valley district, predeceased for two weeks and discovered it could command only Indifferent Interest here. This lack of personal Interest pro vided the Klamath county Jury with an admirable background for objec tive deliberation. It was Jackson county's affair, and not Klamath's; the people of Klamath were only concerned with facta. Personalities and bitternee. the source of nearly a year of political controversy on the other io of the mntntaln. had no place In the minds of the two women and ten men who reached a decision Friday la the outstanding trial for the ballot thefts (Klamath Falls Herald.) Med ford's Fehl Convicted Over In Klamath county, a Jury of Klamath citizens has found Earl H. Fehl, county Judge of Jackson coun ty, guilty of ballot theft. This ballot theft waa the "shenanigans" which led Indirectly to the murder of Con stable Preseott, for which a Lane county Jury convicted Llewellyn A, Banks, and for which he may do -life." By many, the man Fehl la supposed to have been the "brains" of the Jackson county turmoil, and the erratic Banks only a willing tool. Of Pehl's long record as a trouble maker there haa been adequate proof. Was Pehl more guilty of crimes against his community than Banks? Short of the time when we find waya to look Into men's minds and know what happens there, the course of Justice is only approximate. (Eugene Register Ouard.) Ye Poet's Corner The Old Rattle Flivver.

How About Pear Pickers? Now that Olympus has labored and given birth to the N. R.

Surely ALL our merchants are not too mentally Insulated to realize that their prosperity depends In large measure on the welfare of the or chard workers, many of whom .have families, and all have wants, and will take, steps to see that some of our local Fruit Tycoons do the obvious and decent thing. Incidentally, the spectacle of our captains of Industry and great minds hysterically cheering a makeshift re covery program, foredoomed to failure, Is diverting the realists who remem ber that when the great collapse came, wages were, and had been for years, the highest In our history. Economists, technocrats and wise acres of every stripe are agreed that our predicament la due to failure of market, due to lack of Income, due to unemployment. Since government regulation la here, Instead of further debasing an Inadequate currency. Why not try inflating the buying power of the dollar for a change?

They are to be known as the central statistical board. Their Job Is going to be to keep Mr. Roosevelt privately Informed as to how much purchasing power the N. R. A. Is creating. They will keep their eye on re-employment snd wage figures particularly. Tho board has a mixed personnel. Some are strong antl-lnflatlonlsts while others want to keep the ball rolling.

After Prof. Moley and hi publicity adviser left London and were at eea, they sent a radiogram to State See. rotary Hull's office. It read: "What doe the London press say about our departure?"
