WHERE TO BURY A DOG
(At the request of many local dot
fanciere, an editorial by Ben Hur
Lampman. and originally appearing
in The Oregonlan, la reprinted here
today. 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.

Let the details of those that are adopted be known

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. .

signed, sealed and deposited in the official archives,
there was an explicit and formal understanding be
tween Churchill and Roosevelt, that certain things in
this war would be done, and certain things would not
be.
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
