. Get That Dog Poisoner!
WE hope that do poisoner in Roseburg is caught, convicted
and given tho limit. 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

HI, MRS.
Precisely what, asks Mrs. Wise guy
la the pulse of a girl baby eight
months old? I noticed my daugh

local physicians
say that is quite
natural.
From her chlr

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.

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.
