lack the instinct that enables the homers to re-

the purpose of display at pet stock shows.
Many nations have established pigeon posts,
where birds are trained to fly from one city to
another or from one island to another. They
are much faster than train steamboats, and a
message is much safer in their care. They are

Warning to Fee Grabbers.

While the full scope OF the SUI
preme court decision that naturaliza-
tion fees collected by court clerks be
turned into the public treasury.
where so required, is not entirely
clear. II must be a warning to fee
grabbers whatever its application.
As we read the report the court holds
that it was not the intention of the
federal lawmakers to pour money
into the pockets OF any city, county
or state officer whose salary or com
pensation is limited by law, but to
make excess fee revenues belong to
the taxpayers. This at any rate Is
the common sense view, for when a
person becomes a candidate for. and
accepts. an office carrying a stipu-
lated salary, he has no moral right
TO use II for purposes OF graft. Legal
technicalities may be invoked, but
they cannot hide the fact that such
collections would never get into the
fee grabber's hands except for the
fact that he is the incumbent Of the
office. n the supreme court de-
cision helps to stop the help-yourself
fee business, IL will be a mighty good
decision.
