SECOND HANO DEALERS HAVE ANOTHER SAY ON ORDINANCE Ask Numerous Questions and Among Otters That Mayor Veto Ordinance. Kdilor Democrat. As the new or dinance controlling the trade of sec ond hand stores seems to have as sumed an interesting attitude in pub lic prims, we deem it fair to answer I he 'interpretation recently published in your paper emanating from the city attorney, Victor Ollivcr. i We may regret to publicly acknowl edge our ignorance of the English language but if Attorney Ollivcr's statements as to the meauiug of the ordinance he saya he wrote ia a,cor rcct interpretation, we must confess our early training in school has been very defective. We quote Mr. Ollivcr verbatim as appearing in the Demo crat: The merchants who deal in second hand goods evidently do not understand the ordinance. There is no license attached to the ordinance n the books regulating and licensing this class of business. The ordinance was written by myself." The ordinance as passed is report ed as follows: Hereafter each junk or second hand dealer or pawn broker will be required to obtain a license, and to keep a record of every article taken in or sold, the time of day, the description of the person selling same, etc., where not bought from an established wholesale l ouse, manufac turer or from any person doing busi ness in an established place in the city. A fine of from $5 to $25 or not more than 50 days imprisonment is imposed for the violation of this or dinance." Attorney Ollivcr says-"There is no license attached to this ordinance. Please inform us what the fine of from $5 to $25 or 50 days imprison ment means when the ordinance says the second hand dealer will be re quired to take out n license or be fined or imprisoned? Is it possible we arc so densely ignorant wc can't interpret such plain statements? For such ignorant persons as Attorney Olliver assumes wc arc it might be safe for a special school to be opened in Albany that can prove to the sim pic people that '.'black meana white," that a $25 fine don't have any meaning at all, and thttf 50 days in jiul means the freedom of the city ia turned over to law breakers, and when a license is taken out the dealer ia empowered VERDUN BATTLE RAGING ON MEUSE Germans Penetrated French Line; But Were Driven Back Losing Ground. PRACTICALLY NO ADVAN TAGE ON EITHER SIDE French Claim Small Captures of 120 and 20 German Prisoners. (By United Press) Paris, April 21. Following a heavy bombardment, the Germans last night powerfully attacked between Thaiu- Suont and Vaux and south of Douau- mont, where ihcy penetrated the French lines. Counter attacks drove them hack. The Trench captured sev eral prisoner and two quick-firing guns. It is alleged the I'rench ad vanced on both sides of the Mcusc, renewing fij.-hting there, where the French captured a trench on the edge of Cauretle Wood, taking 150 prison ers. Twenty Germany! were captured south of Haudremont and wounded Frenchmen lying between the lines were rescued. Engagement By Boya. The following, written by one of the Democrat's carriers, is given, without the names, showing that New York City has none the best of Albany, Ore.: A large fight took place in front of the Democrat Office yesterday af ternoon, between.- Democrat -carrier and . It was hotly contested all the way through, and when they were stopped by Chief of Police the lion. John Catlin seemed to have the licst of it by a smalt margin. It created considerable excitement and there were pretty near fifty people who witnessed the engagement. Miss Janet Dawson and little Miss Janet Millard will go to Newport this week-end. to do business without regulation laws." We hope the mayor will veto Attor ney Ollivcr's ordinance because he don't handle the English language as it is understood by the average Orcgoni.m. He is too highly edu cated for those who deal hi second hand goods to understand. HOGAN & DENNY COOPER & KRAUSE E. L. STIFF. .

HOTEL MEN BOOST FOR BETTER ROADS -IN OREGON Convention in Eugene Passed Strong Resolution; B. R. Westbrook Took Part. B. R. Westbrook, of the Hotel Al bany, returned yesterday evening from Eugene, where he attended the convcntioin of hotel men, an enthusi astic affair, with some good results. Good roads was a prominent theme, resulting in a strong resolution in fa vor of constructive legislation that will lead to the early building and maintenance at state expense, of the main trunk highways of the state, so located that commercial and latteral highways can readily and to best ad vantage connect with it, with such legislation as shall enable the differ ent counties to expeditiously and eco nomically lateral highways, so that the products of the farm may be cheaply transported to market and of fered tor use in the best conditioin possible to the mutual advantage of producer and consumer. Mr. Westbrook was down on the program, and the Register says: B. R. Westbrook, of the Hotel Al bany, at Albany, succeeded in getting action on a matter of all valley hotels making a uniform charge of five cents for telephone calls within the city.

TOTAL REGISTRATION FIGURES COMPILED BY CLERK Both Republican and Demo cratic Parties Show Gains This Year. The total registration in Linn coun ty for the primary election was com piled by County Clerk R. M. Russell today and shows'that this year's pri mary election will have a larger list of registered voters than registered in the primaries for 1914. With the pos sible exception that a few cards may still be in the hands of sub-registers the total count shows 8972 registered as compared with 8391 in 1914. This is far better than was expected a few days before the close of the registra tion books, and means that in the general election in November this list will be brought up to the 12.000 mark. There were 5386 men registered and 3586 women. The Republicans regis tered 5302 and the Democratic party 2850. There are 301 Prohis. 20 Pro gressives, 1S8 Socialists, 258 Inde pendents, 37 refused to state party and 16 registered in miscellaneous parties. This year the Republican party shows a gain of 62 members over 1914 and the Democratic party a pain of 112. The Progreisivcs lost 72 this year and the Socialists lost 65. 'An Odd Coincidence In 1909 F. M. Redfield gave a check 'for $12.70 to Foshay and Mason in payment for a bill of goods. Yester day a man named Rose was looking around in the vacant land below the Jewish cemetery where the city dupm pile is located and came across this same piece of paper. It had never been endorsed, but the hole made by the three .cornered bill file in the hank was there. No other stamp or sign that the check had ever been cashed was visible. Mr. Rose took the check to Mason's and it was tak en to the Cusick bank, on which it had been drawn. The bank record shows that it was paid. But how it ever got to the city dump pile, or why no other marks are on the check is sued so long ago arc mysteries that can never be solved. Jackson in Scio 1 County School Stipt. W. L.

NOT INHERITANCE, BUT SOMETHING TO BE LEARNED The Progress of Music From the First Sounds Reads Like a Story. That mus. is a part of education, was the statement of Prof. J. J. Landsbury, of the U. O., in his library lecture Irst night, on "What Is Music Made of, and How is it Made?" Mu sic is something for everybody, he said. It is not tied up in a package. It isn't just born In one. It has to be put into a person, learned. This has reference merely to sn understanding and appreaciation of it, regardless of its execution.' - ' With illustrations the professor showed, how music has been built up into the wonderful compositions of the world. Starting with mere sounds they were gradually put together and combined, and with the motif idea he told the story of music, its 0ri3in.1l language and its development. This was done with some pretty illustra tions with a piano by his side. The same law prevails in the progress of music as in everything else. ' Things first condemned are not es tablished and a part of music, and the development has brought the sonata, concerta. symphony, etc. In music, as in other things, it is not the material, but what you do with it. Whether maife-loiiaiin'rng''iets'(bEr' is the same "tMnk-box'." "The development of emotion is a part of education,' and the world needs good listeners as well as those who execute. ' ' Ah expert piano player Prof. Lands bury along the way of his lecture gave illustrations ol a striking 'character, and no one could hear him without being impressed and having; a better understanding of how music has been made and developed through the ages, and that anyone can cultivate a taste for it. and does not have to have it born into one. ' So greatly wns the audience pleased with the offering the professor has been asked to give mother lecture covering the subjective side of the subject. ..-" : 5 Good Friday Service.
