Worth Remembering.

Those who are expressing appre-
hension lest unwise reconstruction
measures might be imposed upon the
country by the present Congress
should calm their troubled souls with
knowledge that one Congress cannot
bind another.
No law which may he passed be-
tween now and March 4, 1910. but
may be repealed or amended on or
any day after MARCH 5. 1910. If the
new Congress should be so early called
in extra session. or at any later time
when 1t may be in session.

"JERRIES."
Unflattering Use OF the Word on the
Mexican Border.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir.' Dur
ing the Mexican troubles was with
the First New York Cavalry and each
troop had a little select society that they
called "Jerries," men who were always
laying down on the job, duck!ng all
work possible, cutters in other words.
No doubt the word has been handed
down and that to-day they call all Ger
mons Jerry" due to their we'll known
desire to "kamerad" on all occasions.

DOGS ANb SHEEP.
Only tho Dogs That KIN Should Be
Condemned.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN---Str. II
Is only the sheep killing dog which
Farmers Bulletin No. $50 refers to, and
yet all through his letter Onward
would let It appear that all varieties
and breeds Of dogs should be condemned
because of vicious habit of Il compare =
lively small number. l know OF many
cases where English sheepdogs are now
being used to keep sheep and guard
them from various enemies. as well as
tie sheep killing dog. Scotch collles and
shepherd dogs are also used for these
purposes and cannot well be replaced
by any other method, as sheep cannot
be kept under lock and key or subject
TO burglar alarms or other inventions
as suggested by Onward" Without
been discovered. Dogs gave valuable
services on the western front and on
other fronts, being more reliable and
efficient messengers than men.
Onward" asserts that wherever and
by whoever kept. a dog Is practically
certain TO be a nuisance some way. and
very likely In many ways, TO people in
the vicinity" In answer to this abso-
lutely false statement I would say that
coward" has undoubtedly drawn a
conclusion from some single instance
or experience. and has made general
application OF his own little trouble so
as to cover all cases under the sun OF
which he knows nothing His state
ment is altogether too sweeping and
to this extent it is deplorabie, inamuch
as when people are forced to exaggera-
ton in order to make their arguments
seem stronger. the fallacy OF their posi-
ton should be pointed out to them.
The dog question can undoubtedly be
settled to the satisfaction OF all con-
cerned. but not by the preJudiced, the
narrow minded OF malicious who would
thus assassinate mans best friend.

N. e. Hansen, accustomed TO the eats

ness. Editor Starring, who never can

brow insoueiance OF the doctors who
preceded him and knit his brows in
deep thought as he tested the sample.
Other of the highbrows, greater and
lesser, trusting in Dawes former re-
putation for integrity, did their part
as jurors. But one slice cooked less
than the others revealed the secret
OF the substance, ii was nothing but
green corn smut cooked in grease and
corn meal. The verdict was that the
taste resembled anything from mush-
rooms to sweetbreads according to the
imagination of the individual. And
while no n doubted the edibility of
the dish and had confidence in Mr..
Dawes IS q plant pathologist, there
seemed to be a united opinion that
smut would never attain any great de-
gree of popularity or superccde the
other legitimate uses of the corn
plant. None of the samplers have
experienced any discomfort as far as
reported. but all have been chewing
gum assiduously to get the memory
Of the imaginary taste out Of their
months.

FOrger Arrested At
Roseburg Last Week

c. NJ. Hall was arrested at Rose
burg Wednesday evening on a charge
OF obtaining money under false pre-
lenses on a warrant issued from
Josephine county. Sheriff Lewis OF
Josephine county made the arrest.
The charge on which Hall was ar
rested was for cashing a $25 cheek
at the Josephine county bank, the
check being drawn on the United
States National bank at Portland He
is also alleged to have cashed a
worthless check for $40 at the Tenn
pie meat market in Grants Pass, be-
sides spreading many other spurious
checks in various parts of the state
Wednesday Sheriff Lewis received
word that HALL was at Medford, and
later the man, in company with q
woman, passed through Grants Pass
in an automobile on his way north.
The sheriff at once notified the off
GERS north of Grants Pass, which re-
suited in the arrest of the much
wanted man at Roseburg Wednesday
evening.

II Is estimated 10000 were added

thirds of these will go into class ] j..
The registration was the last for a

bill eliminates this distinction by
changing the draft ages,
All youths becoming 81 since June

F9ilure to enroll means the forfeit

I on. The only exception is that of
Jews or others who, because of rclig-

Saturday, may register today.
How soon the new registrants will

localities according to the numerical
strength of class IA. In any places

Three Have Reached
2l Since June 5th

Only three boys have gained their
mojority since June ., and registered
at Attorney Nellie Dickey's office
last Saturday. or these two were
Ashland boys and were Harley Ray
Brewer and Marion Milton Now. The
third was William Bacome Of Port
land. He had been located some
where in California and had started
for his home to register, but some
tain, on the way was belated, and
by the time he reached Ashland he
saw he could not reach Portland in
time, so he stopped off here to reg
lister.
Ashland's youthful population is
about exhausted. Those already in
service and those registered and
awaiting call by the selectlve draft
have taken nearly every young man
m the present war age, and until
The draft extension bill passes, very
lew can be called from this city.
