CHICAQO, Dec. 15. (AP) A na
tion-wide drive Is under way to "take
murder out of the nursery."
It Is being sponsored by the parent

ing its attack on toy guns, holding

accidents, but to actual crime.
Thus, while the agencies of the

the county of Its "public enemies,"
the parents and teachers are trying
to do their bit by putting a stop to
such childhood games as "cops and
robbers," and the like.
Pledges from school children to
get rid of their toy weapons once and
for all are being asked. - An honor
for all schools which obtain pledges
from 76 per cent of their pupils and
parents to put a stop to toy gun play
has been started to add stimulus to
the movement.

Editorial Comment
Banks Must Pay
Governor Meier has refused to take
action on the pardon application ot
Llewellyn Banks, ex-Medford pub
Usner, who was convicted of murder
Ing a constable who sought to servt
papers on him at the height of tht
"civil war" then raging In the Rogut
River vafley. A storm of protest fron.
all parts of the state arose when It
appeared that the pardon might be
granted.
The Chronicle Is heartily In accord
with Governor Meier's decision
Banks, when at Medford, was the
leader In fomenting discord that cul
m mated In the theft of ballot boxes,
following an election that gave every
Indication of being "fixed." He de
liberately shot George Prescott, the
constable, without warning. Many
men have been hanged for less.
Llewellyn Bnk allowed his pi
slon to supplant his Judgment of
values, and took the life of a fellow
man who was merely striving to do
his duty. Hanging would not have
been unjust punishment, and of
certainty freedom after a few short
years In prison could In no way be
considered payment In full of Banks'
debt to society. The Dalles Chron
