the kaiser has yet received. If you don't do your
part in dealing it you should now hang your
head in shame. The fact that the other fellow
did his share so nobly doesn't exonerate you from

COPS NEED GOOD RECORD TO
GET A PENSION

The appellate court decided yester-
day that a policeman to get his pen
sion had to serve over twenty years
and then leave the force with a good
record. It had been the belief among
the coppers that they could do
twenty years good time and then
''try anything" under the mistaken
impression that the twenty years
good service entitled them to a pen
sion whether they were discharged
or not.

AN OLD HORSE GETS HIS REWARD"

At the meeting of the board of control Tuesday the
manager of the soldiers home at Roseburg reported
among other things that horse that had been in the
service Of the state at the home for % years had become
through old age unfit for service but that offer of $40
had been made for him. and permission asked to sell
him. The governor at once spoke up: "No never kill
him humaney. faithful animal like that should not be
turned out into the world"
The last part of the statement that "a faithful animal
like that should not be turned out into the world pre-
emnenty correct At the same time it strikes the plain
every day citizen that the great state of Oregon might
find some more suitable way to reward faithful
animal that had given up % years of its services for the
state with the only payment its board than giving it "a
humane DEATH" 1t might be given better treatment
and more humane, than welcome to hosptabe grave
The old horse gave all he had day night never refus
