low perils will please take notice and
not grow too perllous. The Japs are
our best friends, and we want them to
stay that way, for Americans are
not Russians, and Sperry's other name
is not Rojestyensky. We are simply
sending this feet around the world for
practice and to see how big the old
planet is when measured by battle
ship cruise. 1t is not such a big world,
after all, and vet Is plenty big enough
for ali of us, SO long as we do not
crowd other peoples rights. The Pa
cific ocean, for example, is. q right

Has a BIG lob on Hand.

In Admiral sperry's case this task is
as much more difficult than that usual:
ly devolving on naval commanders as
his fighting machine is larger than
that under the control Of other officers
sperry has under him $4,000 men. No
country has ever had SO many big bat
tleships collected into one feet. No
country ever sent a battleship fieet Of
any size around the world. 1t is thus
seen that the chore the American ad-

miles without coaIing, a cruise without M
a parallel In naval history. Though
pounded by heavy seas on the long
run, the vessels came through In per-

this spells fficiency, which Is only sec

Sperry is not picturesque, but he has
common sense. BE is phlegmatic, but
is business all through. He has never
had a lighting part, except for a little
while in the Philippines, but he knows
naval science from the ground up. Sey-.5
eral times he has been assigned to
teach higher mathematics at the Annap-
oils Naval academy. For three years
he was president Of the war college at
Newport, an exceedingly important
place. During the Spanish war he was
not in the limelight, but was holding
the responsible and arduous position Of
equipment officer at the Brooklyn navy
yard. where he had to look after the
fitting out Of vessels. From all this it
viii be seen that Admiral Sperry's role
has been in working parts, not on dress
parade. s ss
a naval commander is supposed to
know pretty much everything and to
know most Of it well He has to be
diplomat, society man, q warrior, an
executive. sailor, a business man, a
scholar, speaker, just little bit Of
politician and general all around

command the respect Of men, maintain
strict discipline. vet keep those under
him in good heart and train them TO

Al Monentous Event.

America is the key to the Pacific. It
was under our example and protection
that the South and Central American
republics and Mexico came into being
and into freedom. Canada in her po-
litical and industrial evolution owes
more to us than to Great Britain.
Alaska is owned and Is being opened
by us. As already stated, the new
cities In eastern Siberia are more like,
America than Russia. Japan was
awakened BY the United States. The
integrity Of China was maintained by
the diplomacy Of John Hay. Hawaii
and the Philippines are being deyel-
oped BY us. Australia and New zea-
land are modelled more on the Ameri-3
can government than on the English.

CnAS BORASH PAROLfD
Hospital Authorities Claim
He Was Suffering from
Typhoid Fever

Chas Borash cf Bellevue, who wal
committed to the asylum at Fergus
Falls tho latter part of laet Novem Der,
was In the city Tuesday at the judy {
of probate office, having bt on
admitted to parole. His guardian,
Chas, Rhoda, was discharge, and
the young man put in chargs Of bis
property again. BE will, no doubt,
soon receive lis foil discharge.
1t will be remembered that at the
time he was up for examintiop, there
was q belief that he had been drue ged
or that he may have been struck on
the head, and blood clot resulting.
At hrst it was suggesed that he be
sent to the local hospital for a time,
but for variors reasons it was deemed
best to commit him to the asylum.
A letter from the Fergus Falls
authorities claim that the man was
not insane, buc was suffering from
typhoid fever. The local examiners
state that this could not have been
the case at the time, as his
temperature showed normal, although
be may have been taken with the
fever later.
These who witnessed the examina.
tio1 are convinced that the young
man was not in his right mind ct
the time, believing he had a rival in
q love a6alr, and that he had been
riddled with bullets.
At any rate. the friends of the
young man Will be glad to hear of
his speedy recovery.

NEWMAN AND GERMAN DIS
!. .I .. MISSED. --~

The case of the state. Va. Philip
German and PeterNewmaD, which was
postponed q week from Tuesday of laet
week. came up before Justice
9audet' g court Tuesday. In this case
the defendants were charged with
having sold intoxicating liquor early
Chrletmas morning to Antoine (John)
st. Martin, who was posted at oil
the saloons in the city. J. r. Richard
was the complaining witness and he
testified that St. Martin was IN
habitusl drunkard, and that although
he had not seen him drink on the
morning in question, he had obtained
infomation 40 to how he obtained the
liquor, from Philip German later.
Chas. johnson, who was at one time
q employee In tho st. Martin barber
chop. testified that his employer was
stongly addicted to drink. Other
testimony was introduced according to
which it appears that. no more ,toau
two glasses Of whiskey were obtaiued
at the Peter Newman saloon. It was
testified that Philip German ordered
q glass of whiskey. which was placed
on the bar before him, and st. Martin
called for cigar. and that while the
bar keeper had his back turned to get
the cigar st. Martin reached over
from behind Germain and took the
glass of whiskev. There was no
testi mony to the effect that any liquor
had been sold or given to tho man.
The attorney for the defendants did
not bring up any witnesses. but asked
that the case be dismissed on the
grounds of insufficient evidence. The
case was dismmissed.

FIRE DESTROYS The HOUSE OF

The house of Tim Perry. located

totally destroyed by fire Wednesday
noon. Most of the furniture from the
first floor was saved. At the time
OF the hre, the family were at dinner,
and 1t was not noticed until it had
made such hesdway that it could not
be extiuq1ished. The fire star ted

thought was due to q dele ctive

The loss on the house is about

was $500 on tho household goods.
