Wheelock's Weekly of Fergus Falls
says that the Otter Tail county tu-
berculosis sanatorium board believes
that the legislature made mistake
when it provided for county sanator-
iums instead of district sanatoriums.
Otter Tail county was the first county
in Minnesota outside those having
large cities to establish sanatorium
and in report just submitted to the
county commissioners the board says
it is costing 1852 a week for each
patient. The county takes patients
from outside counties and charges
them $40 a week, so that Otter Tail
county is losing 1882 week on them.
The board says the trouble is that the
county unit is too small and that over
head expense is too great in institu-
tions of that kind. It recommends
that the law be changed so as to pro-
vide for congressional district sana-
forums.

FARMER FINDS MISSING GIRL
Little Falls Mystery Solved by the
Discovery of Exhausted Girl Late
Monday Morning.

Little Falls, April 1O.-Miss Blanch
Lewis, 20 years old, who has been
sought since her disappearance from
her home here Wednesday, has been
found. She was discovered by a
farmer six miles from Little Falls
who found her wandering about in
side fence on his property. She ap-
peared to be in a dazed condition men,
tally and was completely exhausted
She said she had had nothing to eat
since Wednesday. She is now in the
hospital and appears to be mentally
unbalanced. The story that she was
at Brainerd appears to have been
without foundation.

NOT A NATION OF OFFICE SEEK
Frs.

Foreigners visiting the United
States, returning to their own coun-
tries, delight to write us up as a ma
ton of office-seekers. The common
impression of Americans in other
countries is that they are divided into
two classes: Those who hold office and
those who want to hold office.
1t is true, that there is seldom a
dearth of candidates for offices of
honor and emolument, but the fact re-
mains there are fewer office-seekers
in proportion to the population in this,
than in any other civilized country in
the WORTHLESS than five per cent of
our citizens, who are entitled to hold
official positions, ever become candi-
dates for any official position that in
any way influences legislation or adj
ministration or a public position
where the salary is worthy Of consid-
Grafton.
The office seeking class Of this
country, as rule, are not natives.
More than one-half of the national,
state, legislative and county officials
in Minnesota are of foreign birth or
foreign parentage. A present list of
candidates offering themselves at the
coming primaries reads like the SUBJ
scription list of a foreign newspaper.
This is the only country in the world
where foreign birth or foreign ances-
try is an asset for candidate instead
of handicap.
We do not object to this, in fact we
rather glory in it. 1t demonstrates
beyond contradiction that this is the
land of opportunity. 1t settles beyond
cavil that prejudice and discrimina-
ton do not exist here. It proves be-
yond doubt that, as general rule,
men are measured by what they are
and not by where they happened to
be born, but we do resent the imputa-
ton that the yankees are a class of
office-seekers. They are too busy
with the affairs of life.

FUNSTON HAS BIG TASK.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Indica- tions late tonight are that the carry ing out of President Wilson's order that the Americans enter Mexico and capture or kill Villa be left to the man on the ground. General Frederick Funston. After a late conference the President and Secretary of War Baker announced that no invasion of Mexico in force was contemplated and that the troops would be withdrawn as soon as the purpose was accomplish ed.
 An appreciation of the task of Funston can be gathered from data at hand in the War Office. Villas forces. at a conservative estimate. comprise of from 3.OOs 10 5000 men. The field of operations may include territory approximately 100 miles long and as many wide. In any of these 160,00O square miles Villa might operate with certain knowledge of every trail and waterhole.

NAVAL SYSTEM SUBJECT IF

Capt. Sims Says New York Would Be in Grave Danger in Event of Hostile Sea Att tack; Designers Ridiculed.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Ameri- cas- pre-dreadnaught fleet would go over like nine-pins if pitted against British or other craft of the same age. Captain Sims. commander of the new superdreadnaugh Nevada. told the House Naval Committee because colossal mistakes" in construction never had been rectifed. Other coun- tries, he said, had spent millions in re-designing older ships to meet changed conditions.
 Illustrating his point. Captain Sims. who as Lieutenant went over the heads of his superiors to obtain Presi- dent Roosevelt's support in camp aisn to improve methods in target practice. said the old bulldog of the navy" Oregon, was probably the worst design ever put afloat. Un- balanced turrets heeled the ship down on broadside fire until the skin be- low the armour belt was no thicker than a mans hand exposed to gunfire. He picked flaws in other ships of later date and said the defects were the result of faulty organization of the department which had prevailed for years.
 Captain Sims said submarines could not defend a coats and that the defense of New York should be made 1000 miles al sea. He had positive knowledge that the British fleet spent part of the time behing nets in shel- tered harbors. the rest at sea sur rounded by a screen of the fleets submarine nets when not in rapid motion. The only German submarine which got through the screens was rammed sunk by battleship.
 "I don't hesitate to say that with 100 submarines of the shore service type concentrated around New York a hostile fleet could sail near enough to shell the city provided it controlled the surface"

The American military au- thorities here are impatient for orders to cross the border and assail the ban ] dits before they have time to retreat further into the interior of Chihuahua With plenty of cavalrymen availa- ble, Colonel Slocun is convinced an order to cross the line will now mean a quick disposition of the Villa forces. The town was thrown into a state of excitement today with the report that Villa had recrossed the border and surrounded the town.
 The funeral of Mrs Milton James, killed by Villas raiders Thursday morning, was held Every man and even boys in knickerbockers in atten- dance were armed and alert Tonight a renewed report that Villa was ap- preaching threw the town into a panic Armed civilians supplemented the pa trols Shots were fired al everything that appeared to move in the desert brush.

PLEASANT HILL WILL
HAVE MODERN SCHOOL


SPECIAL cossGsroHpsNcG TO MORNING JOURNAL
Clovis, N. NJ, May AT a mass
meeting of the patrons of the Pleas
ant hin school district, thirteen miles
northeast of Clovis, Thursday night,
II was voted to build new school
building costing not less than $4,000.
The building will be strictly modern
and modelled after plans which are
already under way by Clovis archi-
tect.
The Pleasant Hill school district is
undoubtedly the most progressive Of
any IN the state. Last fall at the
opening of school they found that
their facilities were Inadequate. so
ey private subscription they raised
enough money to build another room
onto their school building. Now hay-
ing sufficient funds to pay the extra
teacher which was necessary. and be-
ing unable to raise them under the
law. they raised enough by subscrin-
uon to pay another teacher a nice
salary for the entire school term and
In addition to this, also by subscrip-
ton, they raised a fund to pay then
principal $40 more month than the
school funds on hand would hermit
them to pay. And now comes the
announcement that they will erect q
flne new school building, which when
completed, will enable the scholars of
that district to enjoy a four years
hisn schooi course, in addition to the

LODGE As CHAIRMAN.

If, as reported, Senator Lodge IL to
be permanent chairman OF the repub-
lIcan national convention, whatever
may happen Colonel Roosevelt will
have no room for complaint Lodge
and the colonel have been the closest
OF personal friends for many years.
While the Massachusetts statesman
remained loyal to the republican par
~ IN 1912, he never allowed the fact
TO be disguised that he regarded the
nomination of Taft as a mistake. He
was loyal TO Roosevelt In thought and
word and loyal to the the republican
organization in his vote.
II was Lodge who brought Roose-
Welt and Root together recently at
tho home of Robert Bacon, thus do
ing more than any other man to-
ward harmonizing the differences
which have existed between these two
powerful interests.
But the election Of Senator Lodge
TO the permanent chairmanship does
not mean that he will use the gavel In
the interest OF the colonel's candidacy
Lodge is too cold, too isolated In his
Righteousness, ever to think Of resort
ing to machine methods in politics.
He win merely give Theodore a
square deal.
