CHINESE TROOPS ENTER
ANclEN CAPITAL OF THI5E''

calcutta british India, Feb. 20
Chinese troops have entered nassa'
the capital of Thibet and the residence
of the d'lai lama, the supreme neao Oh
the Lamaist hierarchy, who, upon the
annroach of the soldiers, fed, with sew
eral of his ministers, into India. Ser
ious trouble had been anticipated oW-
ing to the action of the small Chinese
army. which, marching from Sze-Chuen
in China, subdued Eastern Thlbet,
leyying contributions on the lamas
home and showing no respect for the
monasterles.
The Thibetans, resenting the desc
Grafton of their holy places, petitloned
the Chinese foreign board, praying
that the emperor of China interfere in
the interests of the Buddhists. The
petition was disregarded, as the Chi
nese proposed to make the administra-
ton of the country purely Chinese.
The d'lai lama appealed to Lord
Mimic, viceroy of India, but the latter
refused to interfere.
London, Feb. 26.-The flight from
L'hassa of the d'lai lama will cause no
surprise to close observers of the Chi
nese attitude toward the Thibetan peo-
pie when he was in Picking. 1t be-
came evident then that the Chinese
government had no intention of permit
ting him to resume his sway at L'hassa
so far as civil power was concerned,
and attempts were made even to effec-
tually bar his passage during his re-
turn home.
Following up it's policy of China for
the Chinese" the government deter
mined to make more effective it's con-
troll over the land of the lamas. A
campaign to this end has been pushed
in the border provinces for the last
two years and now China has sent an
army of $4,000 anti-Buddhist troops
into the capital of Thibet.
This army, which was dispatched
from Sze-Chuen has been drilled by
Japanese officers, and is completely
equipped with mountain and machine
guns of German and Japanese patterns
and-with wireless apparatus.

NAVAL LOVEMAKING
BY WIRELESS PAU

WASHINGTON. january Mrs.
Blank. AImada:-Wiu SIC You sure to-
morrow night. Didn't like to take too
many chances Yesterday, We must be
discreet. THE LIEUTENANT.'
This is one sort of message which
the navy department hopes may not in
the future be picked out Of the air by
any amateur wireless operator that has
a laundering for interfering with other
peoples business. 1t is contained in a
letter sent by an official Of the depart
ment to Representative Ernest y Rob
ert~. Of Massachusetts, in support of
his biz to license all wireless stations
and establish a board Of seven men,
upon which the army, navy and private
concerns Will be represented to regu-
late the use Of the air for sending mes
sages.
In the material sent to Mr.. Roberts
is a letter from Mr. H. G. Gearing.
equipment officer, to the commandant
of the Mare Island navy yard. The
above message was intercepted by two
bows who have a wireless station on
the California coast and have kept a
book on the things they have picked
up, according to Mr.. Gearing. Some
Of the other messages which these boys
received and wrote in their book are
as follows:
Mrs. Brown, Oakland:-Can t meet
you tonight. No shore leave Be good
III the meantime. THE CAPTAIN.'
Honestly, couldn t show last night.
Am arranging to see You oftener. Will
you take dinner Wednesday after
noon?' This was addressed to a woman
at Mare Island.
\ married woman at Mare Island
addressed the otficer-husband Of an
other woman in this mysterious way:
"All lovely Am sure you are mis-
taken. Call again. Your. 7. L.
Mr.. Roberts has been informed that
the United Wireless Company has made
a proposition to the navy department
by which it Will agree to discontinue
all its stations on the Atlantic coast
that duplicate those Of the navy if the
navy department will handle its mes
sages at these points if the navy pre-
fers to discontinue its stations.

The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1910-07-21


For a time the objection to the
publication of insurance statements
was based on the charge that they
were not distributed according to
the circulation of the newspapers and
the argument that this should be the
basis Of their distribution If only pub
licity was desired. A change of that
sort was promised at the progress
i've" convention at Huron. Now comes
the state convention and proposes to
cut them out altogether. This seems
equivalent to an admission that they
were kept only for the political adj
vantage of apportioning them among
the newspapers. Otherwise the law
would be changed as suggested at
Huron. We are inclined to the opin-
ion that that had a great deal to do
with 1t, but we are surprised that the
politicians OF the state should virtual
" admit 1t.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1910-07-21

for frauds. The charges vary
technicalittes but can be summed
up in the statement that they could
not resist the temptation to lay hands
on the funds of the orders. The old
line companies tss. .ero compelled
a few years ago to exhibit the graft
ing Of their officers will take a grim
sort OF satisfaction in the disclosure
of the fact that human nature is
much the same. whether the name
be fr~aternal or what not. The Rock
Island case just illustrates once more
the necessity of close supervision of
the business Of all insurance COM
panies. 1t is not safe to leave even
the most reputable of officers alone
with the millions they are called up
on to handle.
The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1910-07-21

intended by Bishop O'Gorman, who
has the appointing authority in this
diocese, as a splendid and we'll de-
served promotion. The city of Nit
chell justly boasts of the most mag
nificient Catholic church in South
Dakota and, this station is considered
by church authorities to be the fore
most in the state.
Father O'Flaherty leaves behind
him a record Of which the Catholics
of Kimball as we'll as himself may
feel justly proud. In the nine years
he has been in the city he has built
or caused to be built seven churches
besides the one at Kimball. 1t now
also m to light that he is the
founder Of Columbus College at
Chamberlain, s. d. And taking all
his work and achievements together,
he has accomplished more than any
other n priest in the state, or in
several states for that matter in the
same length of time. He has not
only been a good priest, but a friend
and a public spirited enterprising
citizen. That he has been e%nterpris-
ing is attested to by the beautiful
home which he now turns over to
his successor free from debt, with it's
many trees, its shrubbery, its hedg-
ing and its elegant lawn all of which
have added attractiveness to the resi-
dence district of our community, and
have served to inspire Others to like
wise beautify their homes. 1t is
needless to say his loss will be felt,
not only by the Catholics but by the
entire community. He has been a
power for good and whenever such
influence is withdrawn or taken away
it's most needs be missed, and just
in proportion to our loss so will be
Mitchell's gain. To that city we will
say: You are getting an able, fear
less and tireless worker, all Of which
is fully substantiated by the splendid
record he leaves behind.''

progression 1t takes years to achieve
such radical reforms and the man
! who secures three out Of four within
a single year would be u%ngrateful in
deed were he to complain on account
Of the temporary failure of the
fourth.
The platform adopted at Sioux
Falls is satisfactory to the radical
insurgents"
The Aberdeen paper says the stall
warts would have preferred a specific
and emphatic endorsement Of the
Taft administration. That they would
have preferred the omission of the
declaration in favor of the election
Of postmasters and similar declara-
lions OF a somewhat populistic tend
ency.' It believes that the stalwarts
can be depended upon to accept the
result of the convention philosophic-
ally.
It thus appears that the radical in
surgents are satisfied and the stall
warts are not unwilling. If there is q
difference between the two ele-
ments 1t has not been heard from in
connection with the transactions OF
the republican convention and the pre-
sumption is that all insurgents may
be classed as radical.
A conservative insurgent would be
one with tendency to drift into the
stalwart camp. There might have
been a few Of that species before the
convention. There are none since the
convention. Insurgency has been en-.
dorsed through the voice Of its grow
ing numbers, and real Insurgency
cannot be otherwise than radical.

Richards Satisfied.

Huron Huronite: It is the opinion
Of the stalwart Aberdeen News that
there are some things about the ut
terances Of the (late republican,
convention. largely sins Of omission,
which will meet with the disapproval
of the radical insurgents led by r. o.
Richards
The prediction Of the Aberdeen
paper is not likely to meet with full
hllment. Mr.. Richards himself has ex-
pressed his satisfaction over the plat
form and is congratulating himself
on more progress within a limited
time than might have reasonably
: been expected.
He sought the elimination Of the
spoils system from politics, the party

faction and the selection Of postmast-
ers by the vote Of the communities

three Of these four demands. It
did not commit itself to the elimina-
ton Of the spoils system according
Ito the Richards program. but did de-
clare in favor Of the other three spec
