WHY CHANGE?

Mayor William McCuaig is
one of the most efficient execu-
tives that Bemidji has ever had.
He has an excellent record and
has taken a commendable in
terest in the city's business. He
has we'll discharged the obliga-
tions of his office. There is no
need in change of mayor this
year.
The Daily Pioneer endorses
Mayor McCuaig for reelection.
There is not a single good busi-
ness reason why Mayor McCuaig
should be retired at this time.
He is the peoples candidate. He
has by his past service to the
city earned the right to re-elec-
tion and the people can choose
no better man next Tuesday.
Why change?
Think it over.
Vote for Mayor William Nc
Cuaig for reelection.

SECRETARY OF WAR
GARRISON RESIGNS
FROM WILSON CABINET
Action is Due on Account of Dif-
ference on Preparedness
Plans.
OPPOSED TO GRANTING OF
FREEDOM TO PHILIPPINES
Successor to Be Appointed Within
"a Hours, Report Officials in
Washington.

washington, Feb. Secretary
of War Lindlay M. Garrison resigned
late yesterday because President Will
son would not "irrevocably" support
the continental army plan, and be-
cause he opposed the administration
plan of setting definite date for the
freedom of the Philippines.
President Wilson accepted the res
igation, but has not selected a sue
cessor. The president himself prob
ably will take personal charge of
the administrators national defense
plans in congress.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
also resigned as a mark of loyalty to
his chief, whose views he shared. The
president accepted his resignation.
Both take effect Immediately.
Temporary Head.
Major General Hugh l.. Scott,
chief of staff of the army, automatic
ally becomes secretary of war ad in
terim.
It is known that one of Secretary
Garrison's principal reasons for the
conviction that only a federal con-
tinental army, instead of a reorgan-
lied national guard should be made
the main military dependant of the
nation, was his belief that some day
the United States may be called up
on to defend the Monroe doctrine and
in that event, he says the prospect
is that the national guard not be-
coming available TO ruse outside the
United States before a war declara-
ton.
Upon the contention on the one
hand that the continental plan which
meant ultimately universal service,
was the nations reliance, and the
position on the part of the president
that no one plan could be enforced
upon congress, President Wilson and
his secretary parted official company
General Surprise.
Mr.. Garrison's resignation was a
complete surprise to official Washing
ton geneally. He made no personal
explanation.
Several hours before the official
announcement, he had boarded a
train =, with his wife, for New York,
and word had been passed at the
dc partment that he would be absent
indefinitely.
The acute differences of opinion
which led to the break began early in
the year, when opposition to the con-
tinental army plan began developing
in congress. There had been inde-
finite rumors of the possibility of the
secretary Of war leaving the cabinet,
but they were never counteracted
in official quarters.
Was Strong Man.
The secretary everywhere was re-
garded as one Of the strong men of
the Wilson cabinet, upon whom the
president leaned in the difficult situa-
tions both domestic and international,
which have marked his administra-

ARM0RY GRANT
UP NEXT TUESDAY
Bemidji to Petition for Building
Saltwater and Eveleth Also
Make Application.

St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 11.-Build-
ing armories for Minnesota cities
will be the chief business before the
armory board, which meets at the
capitol Tuesday, Col. George c. Lam
bert, chairman Of the state armory
board, told the United Press today.
Gives $4,000.
A petition for building an armory
for the Bemidji division of the naval
militia is expected, he says. Accord
ing to state law, the local company
must secure site suitable to the
board, and $1,000 or as much more
as the local company elects When
the site and the money are accepted
the state adds $4,000 of it's money
and the armory is built.
Few Hitches.
The process sounds simple. How
ever, there have been a few bitches
IN meeting the letter OF the law.
These instances may come before the
board also. One of these instances is
at Saltwater: =. Another involves an
interesting" situation at Eyeleth, on
the Mesaba range. ~r7.. >~+:,-,s> - -.
Mine Stops Building.
In this little mining town, the
local company of the state guard has
the site, the thousand and the de-
sire for an armory. When the state
board examined the title, however, it
was found that the title was clouded
by mineral reservations. Under this
restriction, mining companies hold
ing the reservations could remove the
building on the site at any time.
Minnesota isn't raising armories to
be carted about, so the project baked.
There are forty armories in Min
nesota today. Col. Lambert said.
