FLIES 7s5
Pigeon Delivers Message = Waldorf
About Forgotten FHrs.
(From the New York SUM-


This story of carrier pigeons long
oversee flight really began 15 months
ago, when A. Sehubach, president Of
the Western Alaska Steamship Com
pany, registered at the Waldorf and
found there a pair of pigeons which
friend, aware of Mr.. Schubaeh's hob
by, had sent him.
The steamship man, about to sail
for Europe, confided the birds to Il.
L. Stewart, assistant manager OF the
hotel. They made themselves at home
on the roof, fraternizing with other
pigeons who tenant the Waldorf's
dove cote. There they lived for very
long time. for Mr.. Sehubach's trip
took him around the world and home
to Seattle by way of San Francisco.
Three weeks ago Mr.. Schuback re-
visited New York with his wife and
straightway claimed his carrier pig
cons. On Thursday at noon the Schu-
baehs sailed for Europe on the Prinz
Friedrich Wilhelm and this time the
pigeons went with them. After their
departure a set of sable furs belong
ing to Mrs. sehubaeh was found In
their rooms at the Waldorf.
Ascending to the hotel roof yester-
day afternoon Fred Eisler, an assist
ant manager, espied a tired-looking
pigeon that walked with limp. The
limp was caused by piece of paper
wired TO the pigeons left leg. This
was written on the paper:
H. L. Stewart, Waldorf-Astorla, New
York.
Friend Stewart: If my pet pigeon
should reach you with this message
be good enough TO have the sables
which | left in my room forwarded to
Seattle. The bird seems restless, and
that Is why | am taking chance to
let 1t return Be sure to take good
care of him until my return. Mrs.
schubaeh joins me in sending regards.
Sincerely yours, !. SCHuBACH.
Aboard the Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm.
Q a. m. Saturday.
Calculating the vessels speed at Il
knots, Mr. Stewart figured that the
pigeon With the message on its leg
had flown 765 miles In about q hours.

PETITION THE GOVERNOR
IN BEHALF OF HUMPHREYS

The anti-capital punishment people
of Portland and the Willamette valley
have their energies trained upon Gov
eernor West, and showering him with
petitions to have the Humphrey broth
ers from the hempen moose on March
2l when they are sentenced to die on
the gallows at the state penitentiary.
In spite of the strong evidence
against the Benton county convicts
and the verdict of the jury, there is a
strong belief that the men are inno-
cent Of the crime for which they were
convicted This is based largely on
the testimony OF neighbors Of the
who do not believe them
capable Of the crime charged against
them. Governor West is yet silent re-
what action he will take.

office that did not belong to 1t at the
time the officer was elected, and work
not arising from natural causes which
steadily increase the work in nearly
all offices yearly. Outside OF these
cases, 1t is wrong in principle to in
crease the pay Of an officer during
his incumbency Of whatever office he
may hold. More than that, coming
right down to brass tacks, 1t Is NOR
ally wrong for the officer to accept
such increased pay, for the simple
reason he has entered into an implied
contract with the people to perform
the duties Of the office to which he is
elected, for the full term thereof, at
the salary the office paid at the time
he went into 1t. He is as much bound
by this contract as are the people
who promise to pay that amount to
him. If the officer has a right to
ignore the contract and demand big
ger pay, would not the people acting
through the county treasurer, for in
stance, have right to say Your sal
ary is too high; the work in your Of
flee has decreased-we will pay you
30 per cent or so per cent less than
we agreed to pay you? Would this
not be just as fair and just as proper
as for the officer to demand, or even
to accept, more money than the sum
for which he agreed to do the work?
The legislature saw Fit to raise the
salaries Of many county officers
throughout the state. These Officers,
in most cases at least, made q hard
fight to get the office, had their
friends out working for them, and
were exceedingly pleased when the
votes were counted and they were de-
clared elected Most of them sought
the office because the salary was
larger than they could earn otherwise,
and most of them would hang on to
their offices even though the salaries
were not raised, for the simple reason
that the salaries were larger than
they could get elsewhere.
Why should salaries be increased
by legislators, by councilmen, for
public employees, above what those
services are reasonably worth? Why
should salaries which public servants
have agreed to accept be raised by
these same people? The answer is
found in the fact that they do not pay
the bills, The legislature and coun-
cilmen In their private business would
kick like Jeshuron against raising
salaries Of their own employees, under
contract to work given time at a
stated price, and they would not stop
at kicking either, for they would hold
the employee to his contract. Why
isn't the same business principle APP
pllcable to the public employee the
same as to the private employee. II
salaries must be raised, II the work
of an office increases to justify It,
then let them be raised to take effect
at the beginning OF the next term of
office. This is just and fair to Of
flcer and public alike, and any other
course is not.
