important crises he worked from sunrise to sunrise, without

He was given invaluable assistance by the state and local

To this community he rendered a publio service, whioh can

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

view of this work that thus far has been afforded us. From

of Jecluon county by Jury In Kla

L, A. 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

of Injuring their business. Thank

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

It is fortunate that the clean-up
had been complete. Bven the Ore

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

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

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

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.

What's to become of SO of New
York's legitimate theaters is a prob
lem that grows Increasingly tense.
There are roundly 90 theaters of thla
sort. It Is not believed there ia suf
ficient talent or interest In the legit,
when prosperity returns, to keep more
than 20 open. Talkies have unques
tionably won thousands who were or
chestra patrons. Mammoth play
houses at Radio City have consti
tuted another serious drain. Taxes
are devouring dark theaters. Ao
much so three are to be dismantled
and ground space used for parking.
Broadway has many expansive ap
petites Diamond Jim Brady's. Those
of Mannle Chapelle. Bat Masteraon
and Alfred Henry Lewis. - But none
touched that of the black fighter,
Jack Johnson. After a big fight one
night he was taken to a private room
in the old Metropole, where he de
voured two plates of soup, three
chickens with "fixings" and two gen
erous slabs of apple pie, washing it
down with libations of ale.

SOFT PEDAL FOR
(Continued from Page One)
the unnoticed appointment of a new
federal board of statistical experts.
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.
They probably will confine them
selves to pointing out the problem
rather than giving aervloe on reme
dies. The most responsible officials leave
a neat way out for themselves In their
denials of Inflation talk. The White
House spokesmen offered his denials
only for the period "until the N. R.
A. gets working." Acting Treasury
Secretary Acheson made hie denial
purely personal. He said It reflected
only hie own view and not that of
the administration. He is a conser
vative opposed to inflation.
The warns being passed around
that they cannot think of dollar re
valuation because It would hurt the
government bond market really Is
hot weather talk. The treasury
would make auch a gold profit out
of dollar revaluation that all specu
lation about budget balancing would
be ended.
The state department Is NOT aa
confident as the president waa that
Prof. Mcley will ultimately return
aa assistant secretary of state.
Reoent callera for Prof. Moley wer
told that the state department does
not know whether he will be there
In the future. The expression did
not come from an underling but
from one of the highest officials.
While Moley Is turning detective,
he and his advisers expect to devote
some time to ascertaining who In
aplred all those stories against him
from London. They would like to
kno particularly who let the fact
out that he spent 3000. It caused
all hla troubles. Obviously the story
cam from someone attached to the
American delegation or the London
embassy. No one else knew about It.
The Nobel prti for literature thle
year ahould go to some unidentified
person In Stste Secretary Hulls Lon
don office. He composed a volume
In two words.
After Prof. Moley and hi publicity
adviser left London and were at eea,
they sent a radiogram to State See.

doe the London press say about our
departure?"
The reply came back swlfUy:
"PRESS TJNCOMMENTED.'"

Apparently the most Influential
Wall street people are playing ball
with the administration on hte In
