First on Patrol Duty.

me uTSC battalion Oh Cno F1fSC Min
nesota infantry, comprising Company
and of Minneapolis and C and D
of st. Paul, received orders from Gen.
eral Parker to be in readiness to leave
Sunday for patrol duty along the Mex
lean border. Major Matt L. Higbee's
battalion will do patrol and outpost
duty along a front of Il miles extend
ing from the Mercedes pumping sta
ton on the east to the Donna pump
ing station on the west, with battalion
headquarters at Progreso.
Stations Are Important.
Though assignment of companies
has not yet been definitely determined,
Major Higbee said that probably Com
pany A, Captain o. M. Cutler, would
be stationed at the Mercedes station;
Company B, Captain P. L. McClay at
the Donna station; Company C., Cap
tain e. 0. Stegner at Progreso, and
Company D, Captain w. H. Barnacle,
at Champions store, directly south of
camp.
These pumping stations are of first
importance as they supply water for
Mercedes, Camp Llano Grande and the
New York troops encamped at Donna
Progreso at ford of the Rio Grande,
was the scene of Mexican raid about
year ago. With the exception of
Champions store, all these points
have been entrenched.
The selection of troops from the
First Minnesota is in line with the
comments of army officers after Mon
days divisional review when the regi-
ment was called the best drilled of the
nine encamped here. General Park
er's orders to General Lewis, post
commander, were enthusiastically
concise. He was instructed to send
a battalion from the best instructed
regiment in his command"

Progreso Is Deserted.
If the author of The Deserted Vii
lage" were to visit this place, on the
Rio Grande, about six miles from
Llano Grande camp, he doubtless
would be able to improve on his story.
Progreso is deserted-not even a Mex
lean peon remaining here-because of
the frequent raids in the town by BAN
dts. From Progreso one gets good
view across the river where an occa-
sional curious Mexican may be seen
looking toward the American side. Oc-
casional patrols of the Mexican cav
airy ride by.

Fewer Flies in Camp.
With the covering Of latrines and
their daily burning out with straw and
crude oil, there has been a material
elimination in the number of flies in
camp, and hospital statistics show
there has been a decrease in the num-
Der of diseases caused by flies. All
refuse from the kitchens is thrown in
the incinerators and burned, and the
incinerators themselves are cleaned
daily, tin cans and other rubbish col
lecting there being removed to a place
far from camp. Kitchens have been
screened.

Trust Funds Safe.

Trust Funds Safe.
approximately $25,000,000 Of state
trust funds outstanding in loans to
Minnesota municipalities and school
districts is entirely and satisfactorily
accounted for, according to Andrew
Fritz, state public examiner. "a spe-
cial examination of the state treasury,
made at the request of the State
Board of Audit, has shown the loan
record correct" Mr.. Fritz, said.
Every dollar is accounted for and
there are no further shortages to be
disclosed"
Proves Records Correct.
The statement was elected by a re.
port that $68,O0e of loan funds were
unaccounted for, and that officials of
three schools districts denied loans of
more than $4,000 charged to them, and
intimations of possible further short
ages. Mr.. Fritz said he had communi-
Gated with the state board regarding
loans to sixteen districts.
But" he explained, "a check of re-
cent interest remittances from these
districts to the state treasurer proves
absolutely that the treasury records
are correct, and that the loans were
received in the amounts charged
against the various districts.
All Funds Accounted For.
"On all other loans statements, near
ly LOO in all, were obtained from the
district officials acknowledging the
charges as listed against them.
ITO make the first hand check COM
plete I suggested in my report to the
board that deputy examiners be asked,
when in nearby localities, to visit the
district officials and clear up the REQ
ords. Practically all of these cases are
in districts where new officials have
been elected since the loans were OBJ
tanned.
"The matter is of little importance,
merely one of detail, now that all the
funds are accounted for and all doubts
removed"

Guards Publish Paper.

Friends of the Minnesota soldiers in
Texas have received the first copy Of
1.-The Minnesota Border PATROL" a
newspaper published by the boys
which contains much that is interest
ing to ''the folks back home.' The
paper contains much information with
regard to the border situation fur.
nished by army officers and also a
health guide for the boys. However,
a good share of it is given over to the
company reporters" and other CORE
spondents who don't seem to care
what they say about their comrades.
On Release of Students.
For instance, Chuck" De Lane,
regimental color sergeant, has a dis
sertation on the release of the battery
of University students so they may
return to school. He suggests that
soon they will discharge the Method
lists to enable them to attend church,
then the Baptists, Unitarians, fat men,
the Elks, school fraternity men, Odd
Fellows, Eagles, Moose and "the re-
mainder of the animals except the
Scorpions and Tarantulas, and as far
as he is concerned they can take them
too, and no farewells from him."
admire Silently" Says Editor.
The official staff is made up of Hen
ry Finkle, editor; J. E. Chamberlain,
business manager; w. d. Drubaker,
assistant editor, and Eldridge S. Story,
treasurer The editorial column con-
tains articles dealing with the can
teen, the troops Y. M. c. A., the army
kitchen and a stern request to the
men not to report their ogling and
silly remarks should the few fair resi-

Federal grading of grain will work

der law just passed by both houses
of Congress the final appeal on grain
grading must go to board to be es-
tablished at Washington. There will
be state appeal boards at Minneapolis

William Fl. Hill is Republican and
it is as a thorough going, uncom-
promising Republican that he offers
himself at the Primaries August %
for the Republican nomination fol-
United States Senator.
But there are certain characteristics
of Mr.. Hills Republicanism that he
wishes thoroughly understood. He is
neither a radical, nor a conservative
least OF all is he a reactionary.
BY radicalism Mr. Hill understands
action not based on good judgment
and common sense; by conservatism,
a lack OF action that amounts to
timidity, failure to grasp new condi-
tions; by reactionism, no action at
all-stagnation.
Mr.. Hill is progressive in his prac-
tice and application OF Republican
theory and doctrine.
By that he means that he recog-
nizes new facts, new conditions, wher
they arise and believes that theory
and principles OF government should
be adapted TO fit these new facts and
conditions.
There should always be progress.
One cannot stand still. One should
advance with the times-molding and
adapting principles to the new prob
lens that arise, but never altering the
fundamentals. 1t is this sort of Re
publicanism that Mr. Hill practices
and will practice.
That he has the courage OF his CON
victions was proved in 1912 when,
believing that the conditions OF that
hour demanded it, he followed Col
onel Roosevelt lie ran for Con
accommodating and polled the
largest vote, next TO Roosevelt, run
ming ahead of his ticket 10000, and
exceeding the vote of the Republican
nominee for governor by 5000.
Mr.. He'll remains mistaken in his
belief in the soundness of the pro-
gressive Republican theories. Those
who believe in progressivism as a
necessary element in all political
theory and who supported Mr.. Hill SO
generously in 1912 may rest assured
that the same ideals Of government
for which he stood at that time will
actuate his conduct il he is nominated
for United States Senator and elected
on the Republican ticket.
Support him as you did four years
ago and it will mean that the advo-
Gates of progress and humanity will
have a friend in court The Primaries

now supporting Mr.. Leland.)
With Lieutenant Governor l.. ID.
Dickinson, Eaton county's former
candidate for the gubernatorial race,
out of the field for governor, the vot-
ers will be turning to one or another
of the candidates for the place and
Frank B. Leland of Detroit seems to
meet with considerable favor in local
circles and is also making strong
gains throughout the state. Wayne
county will give Mr.. Leland almost
solid support as at a recent meeting
of various faction it appeared they
were united on him.
Mr.. Leland was born on an Oakland
county farm and today owns and
operates the farm ON which his boy
hood was spent. He worked his way
through the University of Michigan,
and has made good as a lawyer in
Flint and Detroit. He has been twice
elected as regent of the University of
Michigan, which office he has filled
with credit and ability as is evidenced
by the great support he is receiving
from the thousands of University
alumni.
Mr.. Leland organized a savings
bank, of which he has been president
for Is years, and is thoroughly
capable business man who would
make a governor strong enough to
bring about improved methods in the
states system of taxation and ex-
penditures, concerning which he has
expressed himself in no uncertain
terms.
M. Leland. is a man of high ideals,
undaunted courage and tireless in
dustry and his election to the Office of
governor would mean the inauguar-
tion of many important public i'm
provements, with a big reduction in
expenses, which would be a relief to
the overburdened taxpayers Of the
state. Mr.. Leland is not tied to any
of the factions or interests and, as
governor would be in a better posi-
ton to give the state better service
than if he had alliances with the past
and promises for the future. He has
no elements of weakness to defend or
explain.
Michigan needs an honest man for
governor and one of ability, courage,
broadmindedness and good common
sense.
Such man is FRANK B. LIE
LAND.

The covernorship Question Frank B. Leland

Detroit News editorial Aug. 5, '16)
Now that the Wayne county and
Detroit republican organizations are
pledged to Frank B. Leland's candi-
dacy for governor, his chances of Sc
curing the nomination have been
greatly improved. Detroit has not
produced governor since Pingree
and Michigan admits that he was
a good one. But Mr.. Leland has
more than a geographical claim to
consideration. He combines the edu-
cation and training of lawyer with
those of business man, and is thus
fitted not only to give Michigan that
business administration" which of
late years has been so DANGEROUSLY
desired by certain groups, but also
to give expert attention to legisla-
ton.
Mr. Leland has never been an
Office seeker. His election as regent
of the University of Michigan in 1907
and again in 1913 gave him a place
of honor rather than of political in
fluence. 1t was a position in which
executive capacity was needed, ana
this Mr. Leland showed he had. In
another field of public service he has
won popular esteem - the fight
against tuberculosis. There he has
shown fine qualities or organization
and leadership.
Michigan republicans will do well
to consider the qualifications of the
Wayne county candidate, and to COM
pare them with those of other aspir-
ants for the nomination. 1t would be
a mistake to choose him merely be-
cause Detroit may feel that this city
is entitled to consideration. But if
his record and his abilities, his broad
mindedness and his freedom from
factionalism appeal to the party, it
should not let minor considerations
influence it.
