Mr. Lampman la well known to many Rogue River valley resldenta. aa about 25 or 30 yeara ago, he waa mil editor of. The Gold 1 I Newa.) . "A subscriber of the Ontario Argus has written to the editor of that fine weekly, propound ing a' certain question, which, so far as we know, yet remains unanswered. The question is this "Where shall 1 bury my dogT It is asked in advance of death. The Oregonlan trusts the Argus will not be offended if this newspaper undertakes an answer, for surely such a ques tion merits a reply, since the man who asked it, on the evi dence of his letter, loves the ' dog. It distresses him to think ' of his favorite as dishonored In death, mere carrion In the win- ' ter rains. Within that sloping canine 'skull, he must reflect when the dog la dead, were thoughts that dignified the dog ; and honored the master. - The hand of the master and of the friend stroked often in affec tion this rough, pathetic husk 1 that was a dog. We would say to the Ontario man. that there are various places in which dog may be buried. We are thinking now of a setter, whose coat was flame In the sunshine, and who, o far as we are aware, never entertained a mean or an un worthy thought. 'This setter is burled beneath a cherry tree, under four feet of garden, loam, ' and at its proper season the cherry strews petals - on the green lawn of his grave. Be neath a cherry tree, or an apple, or any flowering shrub of the garden is an excellent place to bury a good dog. Beneath such : trees, such shrubs, he slept In the drowsy summer, or 'gnawed at a flavorous bone, or lifted head to challenge some strange intruder. These ore good places, in life or in death. Yet it U a small matter, and it touches sen timent more than anything else. For it the dog be well remem bered, if sometimes he leaps through your dreams actual as in life, eyes kindling, questing, asking, laughing, begging, it matters not at all where that dog sleeps at long and at last. On a hill where the wind is un rebuked, and the trees are roar ing, or beside a stream he knew in puppyhood, or somewhere in the flatness of a pasture land, where most exhilarating cattle graze. It is all one to the dog, and all one to you, and nothing is gained, and nothing lost if memory lives. But there is one best place to bury a dog. One place that is best of all. , If you bury him in this spot, the secret of which you must already have, hi will come to you when you call come to you over the grim, dim fron tiers of death, and down the well-remembered path,- and to your side again. And though you call a dozen dogs to heel they shall not growl at him, nor resent his coming, for he Is yours and ha belongs there. Pcaple may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no whimper pitched too fine for mere audition, people who may never really have had a dog. Smile at them then, for you shall know something that ' Is hidden from them, and which is well worth the knowing. The one best place to bury a good dog is in the heart of his master. How About the Constitution? Do the neode of Oregon believe in the Constitution of the United States It seems to this department the time has come to find out. For it is quite obvious their representatives in the. Senate at Salem do not For on Wednesday last by a vote of 24 to 6, they defeated a civil rights measure which would have prohibited the "barring of any person from a place of public accommodation, because of race, color or creed." , "The Constitution of the United States guarantees the . right of ALL citizens to peacefully assemble. It prohibits any state from making any law which shall deny this right, and it prescribes equal rights under the Constitution for -white and colored citizens forbidding the denial of them on the basis of "race, color, or previous condition of servitude." It seems to this department both the letter and spirit of our fundamental law, is thus fairly plain. Moreover it was pointed out in the Senate debate that 18 other northern states have adopted such a law and that such a law in Oregon, with the recent strong influx of colored people, is sorely, needed. Gases of discrimination against colored people in the state were cited; pleas for relief from various col ored groups were offered. iiut auto no avail l MANY citizens, especially- theatre and hotel " owners, appeared at the Senate hearings and vigorously opposed the bill; few. witnesses we are told, favored it. ; , ' ' And perhaps they are right, those against we mean. ; 1 DUT if they are right, then the Constitution of the United States is WRONG. For the latter expressly guarantees the rights this action in effect denies. So this department believes the time has arrived on this matter of race and color discrimination to "either ! fish or cut bait", either obey our fundamental law as it is, or change it to conform with what "we the people" believe in and want. T0 we want this to be a government, of the people, by the people and for the people, ALL the people, or only for those whose skins are white? That is the question. Our forefathers decreed it should De tne lormer. FBI PROBE ASKED OF TEXAS SOLON'S MM. DRIVE Washington, Feb. 9 U.R The Department of Justice has been asked by a committee of congress to find out whether Sen. W.. Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel. D., Tex., violated the Hatch Cor rupt Practices Act in his anti- Roosevelt activities during the recent election. O'Daniel, who strongly oppos ed Mr. Roosevelt re-election took part in radio programs heard in 44 states and made nu merous speeches criticising the administration. ; -v What the Senate Campaign Expenditures committee wants to know specially is, what part if any did O'Daniel play in the campaign activities of the Com mon Citizens' Radio committee and the W. Lee O'Daniel News Co. Both groups ' fought the I president's re-election. The Hatch Act prohibits any person, partnership, corporation, etc., from contributing more than $3,000 in connection with any campaign for nomination or election to a federal office. ' Records of the Senate com mittee show that the Radio com mittee had $109,000 in a special account, of which $79,900 was turned over to the O'Daniel News Co, also show that the News, man aged by Mrs. O'Daniel, took in about $120,000 in subscriptions.

IF they' believe in the fundamental principles of the 1 Constitution as is, then let the Constitution be upheld and enforced. If they don't believe in them any longer, then let them be taken out of the Constitution by a vote of the people through amendment. - But don't continue the present farce: extolling the U. S. Constitution as the greatest human document of modern times, on the 4th of July; and then, by com mon consent, treating it as a scrap of paper, the other days of the week and year! And the Atlantic Charter As with the Constitution so with all other cove nants, laws and agreements. Let the details of those that are adopted be known to all and then let them be upheld and enforced. Or if this subsequently proves impractical or undesirable then don't persist in violating them, change them to conform to the altered conditions whatever they may be. TAKE the Atlantic Charter, for example. .

President Roosevelt also reaffirmed his present be lief in those principles comparing them in importance with the Ten Commandments. CECTiON 3 of the Charter aa reported at the time it "The signatory powers respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live and they wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them." , , e e WELL that is clear enough. and Poland have all been forcibly deprived of their sovereign rights, have been denied any opportunity to cnoose the forms of government under which they wish to live, and unless this . department has been misinformed, both this country and Great Britain have decided to acquiesce in Soviet Russia's deter mination to rule the destinies of these former free and independent countries on her western borders for an indefinite period. That may be, under the circumstances, a necessary and desirable thing to do. DUT if this is the case, then let the Atlantic Cnarter " be junked, formally declared null and void instead of upholding it as morally binding, and then violating and repudiating it at every turn. This principle is nothing new. It is merely the time honored principle of obeying the law as long as it IS the law, and if and when obedience no longer be comes feasible or desirable then replacing or modify ing the law rather than persisting in its violation. That is the right way. The prevailing procedure in this state and country, is the .wrong way TWENTY YEARS AOO TODAY , February 9, 1925 . : (lit was Monday) Trains to south rain and slides. delayed by '; Ffrst detailed accounts of at tempts to rescue Floyd Collins; imprisoned, in Kentucky cave given. ...
