To Stay Execution.
Salem Statesman.

Governor Pennoyer will day send
letter to the members of the legislature re-
questing their opinions as to the advisable
ity of calling special session of the legisla
| ture at an early date for the purpose OF pas
| sing a law to stay the execution of judg-
ments. The governor has written this let
| ter in re ponse to requests in numerous let
ters from Eastern Oregon and other portions
of the state asking that some such action be
taken.
The circumstances set forth IN the letters
asking ior such relief are that the times are
hard. money cannot be had on even the
very best of security, aud the persistence of
creditors would have the effect of utterly
running whole counties of the state. Gram
is of good quality but rather under the usual
yield per acre in Ea>tern Oregon and the
price is but three fourths as much as it was
last year. This leaves the farmers not
much above the actual cost ct production
and 1t is out of the question for them to
think of paying heavy debts from the pro-
ducts of their fields. The laws OF Oregon
at present permit the taking of mans
property for debt and selln G it for a mere
fraction of the amount it is actually worth.
From this procedure the debtors want re-
lief
The governor thinks the laws now in
force would form considerable measure of
relief If debtors would take advantage of all
the provisions. To some instances cited the
feature of usurious interest would have
been ample safe guard against oppression
if the law in that particular had been in.
voked. But the demand seems to be for
definite and distinct stay law that shall
give the debtor year before a judgment
against him can be executed. This pro-
VISION, they think, would take the poor
farmers out of the clutches of the money
lepders.
"Would such a law bring the relief
which the writers of these letters expect?
the reporter said.
mot unless congress passes u free-coiu-
age law" responded the governor, and he
repeated 1t as if it were well settled con-
vlction with him. eff congress fails to pass
such au act, said be, "a state law to stay |
execution of judgment will only prolong the |
misery OF our debtor farmers. But 1 want
to see what the legislators think about the |
matter SO that may act intellIgently."

The Newspaper.


A newspaper may boom a town through
its editorial and news columns, but the
critical investor looks to the advertising
columns for substantial evidence of push
and life. To him they are the thermometer,
measuring the intensity of the public
warmth; they are the pulse which indicates
the healthy or unhealthy condition of the
collective body OF people; they tell him
what he wishes to know, whether or not the
people are up to the times in business mat
tiers. A home-seeker, glances at a paper
from town in which he intends to settle,
Immediately sizes up the business men. If
he finds journal well filled with large ad-
vertisements he will believe the town is
prosperous. Otherwise, if he finds a paper
with but few advertisements in it, and
lot of dead matter, he concludes that the
place where it is published does very
small business. A respectable newspaper
is the best advertisement town can have.

Carrier Pigeons.

Last Saturday evening att O'Clock the
eighteen carrier pigeons belonging to Fred
S Meeker of Puyallpp. Washington. says
the Eugene Guard, were released at the
passenger depot of the Southern Pacific
railroad company. In the afternoon word
was received at Salem that one of the birds
had reached home, and at 4:30 three more
arrived and the remainder had not yet put
in :heir appearance. Those that did arrive
did not make very good time. probably
owing to their being but five and one half
months old. Young pigeons seldom make
very notable speed. By the time these
pigeons are ten or twelve months old they
will be expected to make the entire dis
tance between Salem and Puyallup in four
hours or even less. thus making fifty miles
an hour under favorable condition. As
soon as the remainder of the birds return
home they will be sent to make the trip
from Eugene.

For A Special Session,

Governor Pennoyer has addressed copy
of the following letter to each representa-.
tive and senator, who are members of the
present general assembly:
SALEM, Aug l5.
Dear Sir: Having received numerous
communications urging me, in view of the
present financial strIngency 20 call an extra
session of the legislative assembly for the
purpose of passing law for the stay of exc.
tion on all judgments for one year, re-
quest that you as a member of the state
legislature. would express your opinion as
to the advisablity of SO doing.
Yours Respectfully,
SYLVESTER PENNoYER,
Governor.
The governors plan seems to be to not
call the legislature unless he gets enough re-
sponses favorable to such law to ensure
the passage of it, and thus avoid the ex.
pense of useless session. A session would
cost the state about $1,000 day and could
not last less than two weeks.

THERE has been nothing on view in
the public arena of late more amusing
than the agony of the Democratic press of
the State. From the Red Bluff Nei0S on
tie north to the San Francisco Examiner
on the west, the Stockton Mail in the
center, and the Los Angeles Herald on
the south, all of our Democratic friends
are squirming, and stammering, and
spluttering at a most amusing rate.
Locally they cannot refrain from rebuk-
ing the Democratic Administration for its
policy relative to the Restriction Act; ma
tionally they insist upon their Democracy.
Divided between loyalty to party and the
head of the party, and their own convic-
tions relative to the enforcement of the
law, and the limits of privilege in sug-
gesting action to the courts, our Demo-
cratic contemporaries are really making
holy show of themselves. There are,
however, some strong and courageous
symptoms of revolt along the line, indi-
eating that the saying is pretty near the
truth that the Democracy can be relied
upon at just the right time to do precisely
that which its political antagonist most
desires it to do.
The record-union., 1893-09-16

than it should in contributing to the
support of the dependent.
But as we read the history of the insti-
tuition at Whittier, it is not of that class.
results have not justified the assault our
contemporary makes upon it. If there
are any errors in administration at Whit
tier; if admission has become an
abuse, correctiyes can and should be ap-
piled without wholesale condemna-
ton of the school, or the system adopted
in the school of saving boys to good citi-
zenship who otherwise would become
burdens to it as members of the criminal
class.
That there are mo signs of the bad boy
about the schoor' is the final complaint of
the Bulletin. But that should be cause
for rejoicing, since the prime object of the
founding of the institution was to make
good boys out of bad ones, or those in the
way of becoming criminals. But we ap-
prehend that it is not true; that the bad
boy is still and always will be strong
element at Whittier Certainly the lot
sent from this county every now and
then is a hard lot; is of kind that not
even the police and the courts are able to
deal with. without mourning liability to
the charge of cruelty and inhumanity.
California has too many institutions
assuredly: that is beyond dispute; but we
protest that the school at Whittier has
not as yet given US results that justify
the wholesale condemnation of it. 1t is a
young institution, and because it has thus
far succeeded in saving to the State a
good deal of manly material that other
wise would be heavier charge in the
prisons and to the police authorities, is
not a reason for denonucing it or the
methods employed in it, which happen
to be precisely those that experience in
other States and countries has approved
as the best,
