JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
I
(By Lewis Allen, in Hearst papers.)
It has been discovered that the
celebrated "Houn' Dawg" song re
cently dragged forth from Missouri
by Chump Clark Is but a repetition
of an old German cradlo song.
TCowspapcr item.
Careful analysis of tho stylo and
disposition of well known Kets fur
nishes ground for tho assertion that
they could have written it if they had
'felt like It. Something like this, may
be: Omar.
And this I know, whene'er I come to
town.
With me, close as a shadow, comes
my houn ;
Though but a dog, who knows
past? Who knows?
his
Stop, Infidels! N'or kick my
aroun!
dawg
Marnulay.
Champ Clarkus, of Missouri,
By tho Nino Gods swore
That tho great gang of Ozark
Should kick his dog no more.
By tho Nino Gods ho swore it
And spread tho news in town
"Though but," quoth he, "a houn
dawg.
Yo shall not kick him roun'!"
Moore.
Dear hound of my country, in mls'ry
1 found thee,
Tho yelps of thy sorrow I heard
from tho shore
When kindly, my own Ozark dog, I
unbound thco
And gavo theo my word they should
kick theo no more!
Bryant.
To liliu who lu lovo of hound dogs
holds
Communion with their vislblo forms,
they speak
A pleading language; for their gayer
hours
A bark of gladness and a wag
And eloquence Joyous, but they glide
Into a darker musing and a wild,
Appealing symphony, and steal away
Whone'r those of a rougher naturo
Kick them around.
Hood.
I remember, I remember,
Tho hotiBo where ho was born,
Tho llttlo doorway where tho pup
Came creeping out at morn;
Ho would sneak into tho larder
And steal what could bo found,
And yet 1 wept In boyhood when
Thoy kicked my dog urouud!
ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS FAIL TO
REACH COMPROMISE STAGE
BEOItIA, 111., April 20. With
Mayor Harrison of Chicago and Nn
tlonal Committeeman Sullivan refus
ing ovory suggestion of basis of com
promise, thoy continued today tho
bitter battle for control of tho Illi
nois domocrucy in holding two dis
tinct domocrntlc stato conventions
and nominating two nets of dclogatcs
from Cook county and tho slato-at-lurge
to tho national convention,
Thoro was selected only ono sot of
down-stato delegates, howovor. Tlio
platform drawn by J. Hamilton Lowls
was adopted by both conventions. It
pdgos tho dolegates to support
Clurk for president,

THE OPENING SKIRMISH.
HISTORY ropoats itself.
Four .veal's ago George r. Dunn was noiniimied
for eounty judge over (lie late Captain M. J lggleslon,
only to meet defeat at the election.
Meilfoi'd niossbaeks, uniting with the 1. V. r., showed
their laek of patriotism by voting against a .Medford man
and for one who ean properly be classed as an enemy of
the city, as well as of progress.
Merrick s defeat is due to the organized activitv of his
opponents, to their capitalization of the reaction in pub--
lie sentiment against high taxes and the present adminis
tration, to the light vote, and to the lethargy displayed by
Medford citizens in Ids behalf. Little effective effort was
made to secure his election by those who induced liim to
make the race. The county "was lined up against the city
and even had Merrick secured every vote here he stilt
would have met defeat.
Ashland set Medford a good example by voting almost
to a man for the Ashland candidate. By the same means
the old Ashland political ring was enabled to dominate
count v affairs for mam veal's in times gone b As long
as -Medford splits its strength, ;just so long will she be
voiceless in county affairs.
The primaries are simply the opening skirmish in the
campaign. The real battle will be fought in November.
The fight has just begun.
