Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
AMONG the Interesting people
tending the American Legion con
ventlon in Klamath rails last week
waa Albert Richard Wetjen, who 1
budding rapidly Into one of the coun
try's better known short story writ
era. Hla stories appear regularly In Col
liers, the Saturday Evening Post, and
other well known magazines.
DICK Is a former employee of this
writer, who waa then editing, a
newspaper Eugene. Dick was a
country correspondent for this news
paper, at the village of Harrlsburg.
If the candid truth must be told,
the stories he sent In didn't display
much evidence that he was a budding
genius. Still, they were fully as good
aa the editing that waa done on them.
Both editor and correspondent were
fresh out of school, and what they
didn't know about good, workmanlike
writing In those days would have
filled a fair-sized book.
DICK specializes on stories of the
sea. He got his liking for the
aea on his way to this country.
He la a Welshman by nativity, but
came up from Walea to London. From
London, he took ship for this country
and arrived In the course of consid
erable time In Ban Francisco. In
Ban Francisco, be got In touch with
Colonel Hofer, of Salem, waa then
publishing a little literary magazine
called The Lariat.
It waa on this little magazine that
Dick got his first start.
HE LIVES In Portland, and when he
Invites his friends to come and
see him aa he does with great cor
diality he cautlona thera.to call flrat
on the phone and tell who they are.
He Is getting to be a rather well
known writer, and the country la
lull of hopeful poeta who have a
mania for getting their poema read by
well known wrltera. It might be add
ed, incidentally, that they have an
equal mania for having them read by
editors.
So Dick has adopted the protective
device of having the phone answered
by his secretary. If it Is a friend at
the other end of the wire, he Is at
home. But If It la a poet, he ISN'T.
Nobody but an editor will ever
know how amart a scheme that la.
THE flwt story Dick sold waa taken
by a magazine called Action
Stories. This magazine la now de
funct. Whether Dick's story had any
thing to do with Its untimely pass
ing, this writer does not presume to
aay, not having read the atory.
The magazine waa of what Is now
known ss the "pulp paper" type, and
leaned toward yams calculated to
raise the hair of the reader atralght
up on his head.
Dick got $25 for the story, and he
confesses quite freely that It looked
to him like all the money In the world.
IN THESE more halcyon days, he gets
something like 2.000 for a good
story.
Asked which gave him the greater
thrill, that first story he sold for 25
or the ones he sella now for $3,000.
he answered: "Go on I You know
eomethlng about wrltera and writing,
and you ask a fool question like
that'."
MJTOW many stories." this writer
ii asked him the other day. "did
you write before you SOLD one?"
"Oh. at least a hundred," Dick an
swered. "I didn't keep a careful count,
of course, but It couldn't have been
lee than a hundred.
"1 didn't know there were so msny
editors In the country until I began
getting rejection slips from them."
THIS question Is aeked constantly
by all kinds of people: "Just how
do you go about learning to write?"
Dick's experience tells the whole
atory. The way to learn to write la
to WRITE and write and write and
writ until fl-sliy you produce some
thing that la good enough that some
ed:tor will take a chsnce and pay
money for It.
There may be other ways, but this
is the only one that offers any real
prospects of success.
...

only way to learn to swim la to get
into the water. And you can study
writing until you get old and tooth
less, but tlie only way to learn to
write Is to writ.
1 MASTER MIND OFf
BALLOT STEALING
UNABLE GET
Former Jackson County
Judge Surprises By Will
ingness to Start Serving
of Four-Year Sentence.
SALEM, Aug. 15. (AP) Earl H.
Fehl, former Jackson county Judge,
today became the fifth prisoner to
start serving time in the state peni
tentiary for ballot theft in Jackson
county. He was sentenced to serve
four years.
Deputy Sheriff Dale Mat toon of
Klamath county accompanied Fehl
from Klamath Falls where the trial
was held.
Earl H. Fehl completed this morn
ing a seven months and 15 days jour
ney from the county Judge's office of
Jackson county, to a cell in state
prison. Fehl left the Klamath county
Jail, where he has been confined
since his conviction of ballot theft
Monday night at ten o"clock by train,
and arrived at Salem this morning.
His departure was unheralded, and
Fehl waived the ten days allowed for
filing a motion for a new trial,
which would have expired Friday.
The move was a surprise.
Joins Friend Banks
Fehl Joins his bosom confidante
and aide In local turmoil, I. A.
Banks, agitator and murderer, who
yesterday started serving a life sen
tence for the slaying of Constable
George J. Prescott; also Walter J.
Jones, political ally, of Rogue River;
J. Arthur LaDleu. Banks' newspaper
olde, both, like Fehl serving four year
sentences for ballot Theft, and Tom
L. Brecheen of Ashland, serving 18
months on a plea of guilty to vote
stealing. Jones, LaDleu. and Bre
cheen, the testimony In the ballot
trials showed, were. the. "bralntrust
and action men" of the Banks -Fehl
plottlngs. The state contended Fehl
was the "master mind."
Kin of Fehl, according to advices
received by the district attorney's of
fice, bade farewell last Sunday. Fehl,
unable to secure $7500 bonds that
met with the legal requirements, told
friends he would not appeal his con
viction, and last Friday announced
that he was ready to go to Salem
and start serving his time.
Rf.tdel Hero 26 Years
Fehl has been a resident of this
city and county for 26 years, end ran
for mayor many times. In 1930 being
defeated by Mayor E. M. Wilson by
14 votes.
For the past 15 years or more thru
his weekly newspaper, he ...apt up ft
constant barrage or vindication and
character assassination against coun
ty officials and leading citizens. A
Judgment against him for $15,000
was returned In the Roy Parr crtm
Innl libel stilt, by a Jackson county
Jury. Previously he had been acquit
ted In a criminal libel suit filed by
Frank DUlard. then city engineer.
Previous to these criminal libel ac
tions Fehl kept the city In almost
constant costly litigation over his
efforts against street assessment col
lection, and city water rights.
Following the return and execution
of the Parr libel suit verdict, Fehl
Joined forces with L. A. Banks, Just
budding forth , as an agitator, and
both entered .county politics, finding
support In the discontent of the
times.
Won In Split Field
Fehl defeated C. B. Lamkln of Ash
land In tlie republican primary, by
200 votes. He won in the general
election over a field of four.
It was the bitterest, and stormiest
campaign In the history of Jackson
county. The victory of Fehl created
vague suspicions, but the general dis
position was "to give him a chance,
as hoMtng such a high office will
sober him up."
Before he had been In office a
week, he had filed farce contempt
proceedings against two former mem
bers of tlie county court. He assum
ed office January 3 last, and from
the start turmoil reigned. The court
house was clogged dally with throngs,
encouraged to make the courthouse
a rendezvous by Fehl and Banks.
Before Fehl was sworn In, Ralph O.
Jennings filed recount proceedings
against Sheriff-Elect Schermerhorn.

COST BILL FOR
TRIAL IS READY
The district attorney's office has
completed, and will file today, the
cost bill In the trial of Gordon L.
Schermerhorn, former sheriff, con
victed of ballot theft and sentenced
to serve three years In state prison.
Schermerhorn Is at liberty on $7500
bonds, pending an appeal to the
state supreme court. The cost of the
Schermerhorn trial Is computed at
$1,923.03.
Similar action will be taken In the
cases of Walter J. Jones, convicted
mayor of Rogue River, and J. Arthur
LaDleu. former Banks newspaper
manager, now In state prison for
ballot theft.
' Cost of the Schermerhorn trial was
about one-fourth of the coat of the
Banks murder trial and slightly leas
than tme-trard the cosV'of 'Che Fehl
trial. Banks was tried In Lane county
and Fehl In Klamath county, on
changes of venue. The Banks trial
cost was $7,700,60, and the Fehl trial
$5,094.50.
The action Is taken under the sec
tion, Oregon 37-3050, which provides:
"The costs and disbursements
in a criminal action or proced
lng are paid to the person ren
dering the service by the proper
county; but In case of a Judg
ment of conviction, such costs
and disbursements must be taxed
against the defendant."
They are docketed as Judgments
and enforceable as Hens, and will re
imburse Jackson county considerably
for Its outlay of cash In restoring
normalcy, after months of agitated
turmoil.
