It is high time an example were made of this despicable type of criminal degenerate. In this particular case a little girl happened to be the victim of the dog poisoner. The wonder is human lives are not more often sacrificed. For the dog poisoner invariably distributes his poison, indis criminately and under cover of darkness. He is not only a sadist but a coward. To protect himself, he exposes an entire neighborhood, to torture and sudden death, not only animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, birds, chickens, but human beings, particularly children. What does HE caret His only concern is his lust for inflict ing pain, torture and death upon some dumb beast sometimes some particular dog that has incurred his disle, more often just dogs in general. There are of course good dogs and bad dogs, just as there are good and bad people. Some bad dogs may become MAD dogs; and others neighborhood pests. In such cases they can be eusily controlled through the proper authorities, or complaint to the owners. If such methods fail the individual can always get n permit to carry and use a gun. But this indiscriminate scattering about of dog poison, as this heartbreaking tragedy at Roseburg shows, not only endan gers the lives of all animals but all children, practically noth ing, that lives and moves in the neighborhood where it is distrib uted is safe against it. CRIMINAL research indicates a vast majority of habitual dog poisoners are degenerates. Degenerates or not, they are a menace to any community where they exist, and the time lias come to hunt them out and put them where they belong which is behind the bars. In the case of the person responsible for the death of little Donna Lou Marsters, punishment that a conviction for manslaughter prescribes, should be his minimum deserts. If the death in agony and suffering, of this little girl in Roseburg should arouse the people to the menace of the habitual dog poisoner and should result in action which will drive the dog poisoner out of that community and every other community in the state, the death of Donna Marsters, needless, deplorable nnd shocking as it is, would not have been ENTIRELY in vain. Education or TOO bad more people could not have heard that talk by Lieutenant Commander Stewart F. Bryant at the Presby terian church last night. . There was a good sized and a very attentive audience, but the message this retired naval officer gives is so IMPORTANT, that one regrets the address could not have been broadcast, throughout southern Oregon throughout the country as far as that is concerned. We broadcast prize fights, basketball yames and tooth paste blurbs, but when it comes to world conditions involving a ques tion of war and peace, something that may mean life ortieath to millions of our citizens one of these days (and perhaps a day not so far distant) the speaker is fortunate to get the ars directly and indirectly of one or two hundred people. WELL so it goesl We liko to be entertained to get a vicari ous thrill over the air, but we don't like to THINK, particularly when the thinking involves rather unpleasant and disturbing things. Let the diplomats, the governments, the armj and navy tend to that. AND THAT by tha way is the crux of the entire problem, Cnrr.mnnHpr ftrvnnr nrflsnntarl He sees the dangers before a part of it. So do many other students of history and contem porary events. But the people of the world and particularly the people of this country, don't see it, and it appears at times a perfectly hopeless task to try to make them see it. Europe is moving slowly, hut another war. If that war cornea it will be a devastating, per haps as far as modern civilization is concerned a FINAL catas trophe. True the United Stales is far away, and is determined to keep out of such a war if it occurs. But Commander Bryant is lie is no pacifist. Above all he As a navy man he knows what and student he knows what the if this war does occur, no matter how hard this country may try to keep out of it, in fact even if this country should remain absolutely neutral and SUCCEED in keeping out of it, as a combatant or a non-combatimt in that war, this country CAN'T ESCAPE the shattering, destructive effects, of it. And that is what he is interested in the welfare and secur ity of this country! He is not touring the coast pacifist, but as a patriot, not to fight, but as a realist who is He wants to fight the REAL imaginary ones. He wants to fight the fon'es that threaten war. not the forces that are always involved in war after it occurs. Because winning the first fight means saving this country and its civilisation; winning the second fight could only mean a victory too late to win anything, as far as the perpetuation of what we call modern civilization is concerned. IT is all as clear as the noe on Mr. Durante' face, to those U'hn llflV th fm.tm Bn.1 ill. tin. A llllr I, n ... tli.l the pity and we fear the EITHER.

I noticed my daugh ter's heart beat ing rapidly, but local physicians say that is quite natural. From her chlr ography, al though Mrs. Wlseguy would not say, I Infer that prior to marriage she was either a soioolmarm o r a young woman of "executive" ability at any rate she was accustomed to taking that sophisticated attitude, and now, with the toughest Job of her life on her hands she is trying to bluff her way through with It. Let us concede that Mrs. Wlsegny was a superlqr stenographer or department chief or whatever before she took up motherhood. She herself will be the first to admit that In order to achieve the success or efficiency she has achieved she put in years of effort acquiring the special knowledge and skill and tact and experience necessary for such a posi tion. But here she Is. as Innocent of elementary knowledge of human physiology, pathology and other sub jects pertaining as any child, utterly unschooled because In school these subjects are still regarded as inde cent and unfit to teach refined young girls, yet at the very first encounter with an expert the local physician Mrs. Wlseguy questions the "doctors around here ' and. for give me. writes off to one far away and therefore more likely to know how fast a baby's pulse should be. At that, how fast should It be? You're asking me. Really, now, they're pretty scarce these days. I've pretended to count the pulses of thousands of 'em In my time they usee to be fairly common and 1 really should have some definite notion about it, say a hundred and ; up. but I feel It would be Just as j well to give this misguided mother an evasive reply. It will be better f or j her baby If she knows merely that j a baby's pulse rate is precisely as j the local doctors aay, naturally more j rapid than an older child's or an adult's. Indeed I doubt if even a doctor needs to know more than that about It.

Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS REX McMILLAN, fingerprint ax pert, made a talk before a South ern Oregon service club the other day that was of such fascinating Interest that It should have been heard by everyone. So an effort will be made here to cover some of It high spots. FINGEPRINTINO, he told his hear ers, waa first used as a mean of identification by the Chinese centu ries ago. What a surprising people these Chi nese have been I They were the first to make use of printing, which ha been outstanding among the civilising and humanising Influences ln the world. They were the first to use GUNPOWDER, which has been one of the world's moat DESTRUCTIVE influences. And, centuries ago, they learned that fingerprints are a positive means of Identifying individual human be ings. FINOERPRINTTNO waa first used by police departments in this coun try in New York, about the beginning of the present century; They were used In this way; At that time, getting on the police department in New York was an am bition that waa widely held, but the physical requirement were hard to meet. So smart guys with physical defect conceived this scheme; They would apply for a Job on the police department In their own names and then would hire a husky substi tute to pass the examination for theml Typical of New York political methods, wasn't it? Thla foxy scheme waa finally head ed off by fingerprinting the appli cants. FINGERPRINTING 1 now widely used as means of criminal Identification,, and the department of Justice in Washington is the na tional clearing house for all infor mation of this sort. Consider this: In Washington, ln the department of Justice, there are FIVE MILLION fingerprint records of criminals, ranging all the way from petty of fenders to murderers 1 Five million I The criminal element in this country is getting to be a pretty sizeable chunk of the popula tion. TO WASHlNGTONTfor these files, go all the fingerprint records. Then, when somebody out In the country want to know about some doubtful character, he sends in his fingerprint and back IMMEDIATELY If the man has a criminal record, comes the whole story. The aystem 1 of wonderful assist ance in catching crooks. It is an ex ample of what government can do WELL when It sticks to the proper functions of government. A N OTHER Interesting statement: Sixty thousand unidentified per sons die in tl'a United States and Canada EVERY YEAR1 If we had universal fingerprint rec ords, these unidentified dead could be identified and much useless and ago nising uncertainty avoided. MOST PEOPLE f object to the idea of being fingerprinted because they associate fingerprints with the Idea of criminal suspicion. But consider such a case as this: A man with a dependent family and a life Insurance policy la killed accidentally in a strange city, with no means of Identification Just one of the annual 60,000. Because proof of his death can't be eaatabllahed, his wife can't get his life insurance money when she needs it worst. IT WILL be "a long time before EVERYBODY In this country ts fingerprinted and catalogued, and there will be a lot of objection to the idea, which amscka rather strongly of European methods of police super vision of the Individual rltlsen. Such methods are distasteful ln this country. But the Idea has it good point. 4 Communications What to Io with Burnt.

To the Editor: The dog poisoning epidemic in Roseburg. resulting tn a child's death, Is mild compared with our own malignant disease, which many people have been trying to stamp out for year. In the past 80 days there have been the following case reported where investigation shows trych nlne poisoning: , 1 4 dogs on Tripp street. 3 dogs on Mistletoe. 3 dogs on Spring street. 3 dogs on West 9th street. 3 dogs on Beatty street. 7 dogs on Ross Lane. Poison is placed In food, meat and hamburger and always available for human consumption. Aside from the strychnine poison, there is the salmon poisoner that i always with us and doing hie dirty work on McAndrewa rosd at the present time, to the extent o.' three doge ln the lsst 10 days.

When enough of them do. tne vewrRuo organizations will be for pensions. Tha body politic has a short memory. After the Marn and Akron dirigible crashes, congressmen unanimously howled that they would never appropriate another nickel for such collapsible ethereal battleships. They are now getting ready to hand out about 80.000.000 nickels or more for one ahlp and probably more later. After the Morro Castle, the entire government arose and cried out for stricter sea regulations, even to the extent of revising construction re- qulrementa. It la yet to be done. Tou may hear more of the ''T' men and less of tha "Q" men hereafter. At least that Is supposed to be the purpose behind Treasury Secretary Morgenthau'a move to conaolldate his treasury Investigat ing forces. Mr. Morgenthau waa displeased at the way the O-men In the Justice department here overshadowed his own detectives. Before he planted his consolidation bill In congress recently, he effected a makeshift consolidation without announcing It. He plana to merge forces for a drive on narcotics one month, counter felting the next, smuggling, the third, believing It will improve ef ficiency. Congressmen are akeptleal. If Ogden Mllla or Mellon had made such a request, they would have thought nothing of It. But everyone knows Mr. Morgenthau fancies him self as an amateur detective. There la a half suspicion lurking back In some congressional minds that Mr. Morgenthau's "T men may evolve Into a gay-pay-oo. That la why hla consolidation legislation was held up. The fact that the state department waa seek ing to ascertain If any foreign gov- ernmenta would object was only an excuse. The man behind Al Smith's speech waa NOT Raskob or the DuPont as published. It was New York Supreme Court Justice Proskauer. He and Al are old friends and he helped more In the preparation of the speech than anyone else. S VALLEY 10 MEET BT. FALLS SAMS VAIIFY. Feb. S.
