New Orleans, Sept s. Colonel
Roosevelt delivered a public address in
the opera house here last night, in
which he urged that this government,
instead of paying blackmail to alien
wrong doors and their heirs" as pro-
posed in the dispute with Columbia
over the Panama canal property,
should minimize that SIS, 100000 and
the plant of the Panama canal and as
many of scores of millions extra as
are necessary to take control of the
Mississippi and develop all its posi-
blities of usefulness from the head
waters to the delta.
Refers to Flood Problem.
Colonel Roosevelt made a particular
point of the flood problem, which he
said must be met not only by levees
but great storage reservoirs up stream.
which would not only stop the floods,
but serve well for irrigation purposes.
He reminded his hearers that he had
been an advocate of federal control of
the river for long time. Il insisted
upon 1t when I was president" he said,
but neither of the old parties adopted
1t. 1t Is only the Progressive party
that has seen the need of such far
reaching constructive policy"
He spoke warmly of the Progressives
In Louisiana There were no other
members of the party, he said, who
more emphatically deserved well of the
party than the Progressives in Louis
lana He spoke Of tho old Republican
party as having a deliberate purpose

The community was saddened last
Friday by news of the death of Otto

at Glyndon, Mimi, where he was en-
ployed as timekeeper and clerk for a
steel gang working on the Great

Death was due to heart failure. He
retired the evening before feeling as

rose and sat in the door of the Sleep

in the car that he was feeling badly.
They gave him attention Immediately,
laid him on a couch and he expired
Immediately.
His father, George Hogan, of this
city, was notified and went to Glyndon
the same day. returning with the body
on Saturday.
Otto Hogan was worthy young
man, who was great favorite with
all who knew him. The men among
whom he worked were much affected
by his death. ard the Greeks of the
railroad crew refused to work so long
as his body laid in the car, and in re.
spect for his memory sent flowers fol
his funeral, the most touching of all
the many floral tributes received.
Otto would have been 21 years Of
age next Sunday. He was born in
MINNEAPOLIS, but came here is young
boy 15 years ago.
The funeral-one of the most large.
" attended ever held in Morris-was
held from the Congregational church

himself either for or against the
proposition of issuing the bonds of

ing a school house. We ask only that
you consider this matter as carefully
as we have considered it, that after
you have so considered it, you go
to the voting place tand express your
wish. We sincerely hope and do be-
lieye that a careful investigation of
the whole situation will convince you
that Morris must have new school
building; and that you will cast your
votes accordingly. This is not a per-
sonal matter with us, but it is a per-
sonal matter with every voter of the
district and we trust, that laying aside
all selfish interests, the voters of
Norris will cast their ballots for the
issuance of the bonds. and thus en-
able the boys and girls of this

Structure VIII Be of Brick and
Stone and Work VIII Begin as
Soon as Possible. The School
is Badly Needed BY Assump-
ton Parish.

The crowded condition of the par.
ochial school conducted by the Sist-
ers of St. Joseph in the basement of
Assumption church has finally become
SO acute that on Wednesday afternoon
it was UNANIMOUSLY decided at joint
meeting of the Board of Directors and
Advisory Board of the Assumption
Church to build a new parish school
this summer. The school will be a
solid structure of brick and stons to
harmonic with Assumption church.
and will be modern and up-to-date in
all its appointments.
Plans for the schools will be here
in few days and work will begin as
soon as possible, so as to have the
school ready for use the coming fall.
The school will cost about $25, 600.
This new school, the new hign
school and the agricultural school will
make Morris quite an educational
center, as indeed it should be.

MEMBERSHIP CONTEST
Development Association Wants
10000 Members.

"The West Central Community" is
the suggestive name of the monthly
paper to be published by the West
Central Minnesota Development Asso-
citation. The first issue will be ready
for mailing about June 1st and it is
expected that all of the people in-
terested in better conditions for this
section will become subscribers.
The Association paper is the result
on the part of the officers to let all
of the people in the section, as we'll
as-people outside of it, know more of
the aims and results of the West Cen
trail Minnesota berterment movement.
AS the name implies it will be prim-
arily for the community made up of
the fifteen counties affiliated with the
association. Those in charge of it
say that it will be an exchange of
ideas. methods, and progress among
every one doing anything worth while
in the section.
Each issue will contain a county
agents exchange from which each
man will be able to learn all about
what his fellow workers are doing.
There will also be timely articles on
agricultural subjects by the best auth
critics, and various departments edited
by men and women who are leaders
in their lines.
Each stockholder in the West
Central Minnesota Development As
sociation is entitled to one year. S
subscription to the new publication.
The price of stock has been reduced
to $1.00 per share and since this
small amount of money makes each
person subscriber and gives him all
the benefits of membership in the pro-
gressive organization, the directors
feel confident that the list of stock.
holders will increase several thousand
within the next few months.
To realize this hope, Secretary M.
E. Harrison announces that the asso-
citation will inaugurate membership
contest. They will offer liberal cash
prizes for the two persons sending in
the largest number OF subscriptions.
Anyone living in West Central Min
nesota is eligible to compete. An
advertisement of this contest will be
found on another page of this issue.
Anyone desiring further information
should write to the secretary at Nor
ris, MINI.

EFFICIENCY PLANS
All Parts of State Government
to Work Together.

By John S. Pardee Secretary of the
Efficiency Commissi,n n.
st. Paul. May-The efficiency COM
mission has finished its outline of the
plan for recognizing the state gov
ernment on business lines. Fixing up
every little detail and making all the
joints match is job that will take
some time. But unless some very
good reasons are presented why the
commission should change its mind,
the general features which it is pre-
pared to recommend are all shaped
and fitted. Probably the commission
will meet in the fall to look over its
plans and possibly revise them. In
the meantime its recommendations
will be laid before the public as rapid
ly as possible SO that Tom Smith and
Bill Jones and all the rest of US can
discuss them and make up our minds
how we like the idea.
The first thing is, if this plan is
carried out, it will increase efficiency.
The state ought to get more for its
money when there is one government
working all together than where there
are sixty independent governments
chopping round all over the lot A
single illustration throws some light
on that. Not long ago there was 9
fire in hotel in the southwestern
part Of the state. The place was
visited BY hotel Inspector, who is
Morris tribune., 1914-05-22

sued certain orders. A few weeks
later deputy fire marshal came, who
also issued certain orders. The per-
picked proprietor sat down and wrote
note to the fire marshal:
"Dear Sir: Three weeks ago
hotel inspector ordered me to put in
a new floor. Today your deputy
orders me to tear down the building.
Which shall | do first?''
Now both these inspectors did their
duty. 1t was glaring case of in
efficiency for something that is not
their fault. The state government is
no efficiently organized. Putting the
government together will unquestion
ably add to the efficiency Of its parts.
The plans should be an aid to econ
omy. There are various places where
people are filling half jobs. There is
enough work to require separate ap-
pointment of secretary or clerk, or
the like of that. and not enough to
keep him busy. Grouping these duties
in departments will largely take care
of that. There are places where it
is impossible now to organize the work
economically. AS for instance. where
there is one boiler inspector for each
district and one oil inspector for each
county. If authority is given to de-
partments to rearrange those districts
half or two thirds or even more can
be saved without hurting the service
in the least.
But the amount that can be saved
by mere economy isn't circumstance
to what can be saved by intelligent
appropriations instead of the blind
guesses the legislature is now com
PEELED to make. When all the esti.
mates of all the departments ale gath
cred up in budget, with figures sc
arranged, that they can be compared
and so framed that some idea can be
gained of the value OF the service
given, we shall have intelligent ap
preparations. And where we save ter
dollars by cutting down expenses. VIZ
shall save one hundred dollars by
getting wise line on the merits o.
the expenditures and that is nj
dream.
These are the three features of th'
efficiency commissions plan. Unit.
and simplication of the government

LOCAL OPTION FIGHT
LOOMS IN PR0ssER
Dry Advocates Decide Not to
Take Chances on Success of
State Wide Prohibition

Prosser, July Is, Especial -
Friday evening, a S t, as a re-
suit of a call issued by a COM
mittee named from the various
churches, a meeting was held at
the high school, where an or
ganization was formed for the
purpose of conducting a CAM
paign to put Prosser into the
dry list again, in case state wide
prohibition should fail, or to
secure the achievement of this
end one year sooner.
The organization consists of
one president with two vice
presidents from each ward, to-
gether with the clergy of the
town as ex-officio members of
the executive board, which is to
appoint subcommittee for the
purpose of financing the cam
paign, secure complete registra-
ton, and interest the people in
a local option fight. The presi-
dent elected is C.. E. Rusk, with
vice presidents as follows: first
ward, Mrs. e. G.. Houston and
Albert Smith; second ward, II.
R. Fox and Mrs. F. A. Kenneth
third ward, Moriss Henry and
F. j. Finn. These with the
clergy from the six churches
form a committee Of 13 which
will direct the battle through
the campaign. Some doubt was
expressed as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of making a local option fight,
but as the committe from the
churches had already decided
favorably to the proposition, the
doubt received no results.
AS to the exact powers of the
committee, the motion carried
that it have full power to put
Prosser dry. To accomplish this
the committe will hold regular
meetings on each Monday night
There were about thirty present
at the meeting Friday night.

BEES SPREAD FIRE BLIGHT
But Destruction of Bees Would
Result in More Harm than
Good to Orchards

There has been considerable
agitation in some parts Of the
state in regard to the distribu-
ton of pear blight (fire blight)
by bees, some even going so far
as to advocate preventing the
keeping of bees in the vicinity
of orchards - the claim being
made that the bees are very
largely responsible for the dis
tribution of blight. That bees
are so responsible, no one can
question. However, the des-
truction of the bees would result
undoubtedly in infinitely more
harm than good, as they are
responsible for the polloniz-
alton of the apple. Without
