This investigation, which began
more than three months ago, has been
the outgrowth of Numerous rumor1
which have been in circulation regard
ing the internal workings Of the po-
lice department with special reference
to the detective bureau.

forms was being carried on in the city
came to Mayor Keller, as we'll as
stories Of other forms of lawbreaking,
and the mayor decided to ascertain
whether through incompetence or in
difference the detective department
was failing to stop law violations. The

Government Wins Suit In the Su-

Washington, Nov. 19.-The govern
ment won it's suit in the United States
supreme court against the so called
"bathtub trust" The court held that

There has been rumpus ms Paul

teetives, Fielding, has been discharged.
In Fielding's statement, which the
Pioneer Press did not publish in full,

considerable light upon St. Paul and
Minnesota republican politics-that
when he was given lists of places to
raid, it was always places where

HARD BLOW TO TURKEY
Sultan Loses Three Pashas, 5o,'
900 Mea and Many Guns.

London, Nov. 19.-Any IDEA that the
Turkish government may have had OF
benefitins by continued resistance
must be shattered by news Of the fall
Of Monastir. In the capture Of that
important town the Servians took
three pashes, including the comman-
der-in-chief, Zekki Pasha, $4,000 men
and forty-seven guns, thus achieving
the greatest individual success of the
war.
Monastir was the second city of i'm
portance in European Turkey. 1t was
Turkeys stronghold in Macedonia and
by it's downfall Macedonia passes
completely out Of Turkish hands.
/ What part the Greeks played in the
capture has not yet been ascertained.
lit is known that the Greek army was
marching to the assistance of the
Servians and it is supposed that the
Greeks were able to cut off the Turk
tsh retreat to the south.
l. Monastir virtually had been sur.
rounded by Servian troops for several
days. On Saturday the Servians, after
twenty-four hours desperate fighting,
succeeded in capturing two important
heights commanding the city. They
then advanced through the morasses
upon the inner fortification.
I Monastir is the headquarters of the
Sixth Turkish army corps, command
ed by >Zekki Pasha, but many other
Turkish troops fleeing from surround:
Ing towns which had been captured
BY the Servians concentrated there.
Djavid Pasha, the commander of the
Seventh Turkish army corps, went
there with many of his soldiers after
the fall of Uskup to the Servians.
''~ Army Totally Disorgan'zed.
Il was thought that the Turkish
troops would be able to stand a
lengthy siege, but it is evident that
the army was totally disorgan1zed and
lacked provisions.
Monastir occupied a capital position
tor defense. It is the market center
Of the entire district and has a popu-
lation of $4,000, composed of Servians,
Bu1garians, Albanians, Armenians,
Greeks and Turks. The Christians
number about half of the inhabitants.
The Servians naturally will be elat-
ID at this victory, which outshines the
capture of Saloniki and must have a
great moral effect on the future course
Of the war.
Another of the strange silences
which have been characteristic Of this
war appears to have fallen over Con-
stantinople, from which city only brief
dispatches have been received, telling
Of the resumption of the Tchatalja
battle and that the sultan has made
. fresh personal appeal to the Euro
pean sovereigns. to intervene for the
termination Of the war. Quite as lit
de may be expected to come of this
appeal as Of the previous attempt at
mediation by the powers.
with cholera and typhus ravaging
her demoralfzed army and a powerful,
snemy hammering at the gates OF the
capital Turkey must appeal again to
the allies for terms. Undoubtedly the
object of the commanders in ordering
the attack on the Tchatalja lines was
to compel this course. It seems in
credible that Bulgaria., for the mere
glory of triumphant entry into a
city she does: not desire possession of,
should wish to take her army into a
disease infected zone.

George Authier, the Tribune 3
political writer, assumes that the
democratic representatives in the house
will unite with the republicans, as
distinguished from progressives. It
would be interesting to know who gave
George this information. If reports are
true, several of the democratic repre-
sentatives will decline playing the
time-honored role Of sheep. By the
way, George ought to get something
from the Eberhart administration. No
enc has blown the horn Of praise so
stoutly, no one else has burned so
much incense, no one else has given
the governor so much adulation. We
really hope George connects.

Little Falls herald., 1912-11-22

The Washington correspondents of
the Pioneer Press and Journal are
busy telling what fine things Roose-
velt and Taft did for the postoffiee
department, appointing men on merit,
leaving out politics, ETC., all of which
IS tommyrot. The Sixth district itself
is evidence that politics, and cheap
politics at that, was continually played
IN appointments, that the postoffice
inspection service was prostituted to
serve the needs Of cunning politicians,
that it was possible to set any old kind
Of report on postoffice to enable
some folks in close touch with the ad-
ninistration to carry out their schemes.
One of the first acts Of the new
Qostmaster-genera1 will be to in.
Testigate the methods Of postoffice in
spection, and we predict that the boot
viii be applied to several inspectors in
short order. It is pity that it will
perhaps not be possible to reach those
whose orders the inspectors obeyed.
The postoffice department has been
5un Of politics, head to foot, shak-
lng~up will be valuable as the shaking
up in Ballinger's department was.
Everything was fine there too, until
she contrary was proved.

The busybodies are already at work,
predicting trouble in the new demo
cratic administration between Bryan
and the Clark Underwood men, into
which they expect President Wilson
will be drawn. If the congressman are
wise they will be mighty careful about
getting to difficulty with W. J. B.
The events at Baltimore and since
proved that he understood the people
better than many Of the democratic
congressman. So far as the president.
elect is concerned, he undoubtedly
knows the situation as we'll as anyone,
and he will be found on the side of
progressive democracy in every case.
There are, unfortunately reactionaries
who call themselves democrats. We
do not, mean conservatives, who are
just as much desirous of better things
IS their more radical brethren, al
though proceeding more slowly, but
feactionaries allied with monopolies
and big business. We do not think
slhese reactionaries ought to be either
consulted or coddled, and the sooner it
is understood that the democratic
Hdlty aoeS hOC approve VI Cnem, Cne
better lit will be for that party. The
party has won tremendous triumph.
50 did the republican party four years
ago, but where is it now? The people
give, and the people take away, and
excuses don It help any. We believe one
of the greatest tasks before the new
administration will be to make the
democratic party progressive through
and through, in nation and in states.
1t will mt be an easy task, but must
be done II the democratic party is to
live. We believe the new president will
se I'M hearty sympathy with such a
puruose. His career as governor of
New Jersey, his action in sending the
courageous telegram to Bryan despite
the objections Of his close advisers, his
action in boldly attacking Boss
Smith, his appointment of campaign
committee without single reactionary
on it,-all these things 60 to show tha'
in Woodrow Wilson the democratic
democrats have leader in whom the!
may have every hope and confidence.
