RIGHT MAN GIVEN
The WRONG PLACE
Honors Conferred Upon Harry
Adams Belong to Another
but Friends Insist

Some men are born great, some
achieve greatness and others have
honors thrust upon them. Harry
Adams, conscientious land man of this
city, feels he is in the later class
and that he is withholding honor and
distinction from some party more
fitted than he to wear the title of cap
tain of a local bowling team.
1t happened two weeks ago when
H. M. Alcott resigned as captain of
the Ten Strike bowling team. Seek
ing a capable successor the boys de-
cided upon Robert Adams and pressed
the crown upon his manly brow while
he wasn't looking. The newspapers
heard of it and hailed the new captain
with splash of front page glory.
Friends of Mr.. Adams, Immediately
began saIuting him as "Captain
Adams. J."
Mr.. Adams does not object to the
honors but feels he is the wrong
man in the right place. He INDUCES
in the fascinating game of bowling
occasionally but does not feel quail
fed for the position of captain. Con-
sequently he has passed the honors to
someone else and the boys will hold
another election unless Mr.. Adams
consents to repudiate his notion of be
ing the wrong man in the right place.
At the present time they hold he is
the right man in the wrong place, but
as captain of the bowling team he
would be the right man in the right
place. They need such a man to de-
feat their rivals and in Mr.. Adams
they recognize an Individual that would
lend dignity and poise to their team.

structive paper, written by Mrs. S.
A. Siverts Jr. on the Sevres Porce-
lain. Mrs. Stone had visited the
French building at the Panama Ex-
position so she gave description of
the Sevres Porcelain she saw exhibit

only China exhibited in glass cases.
Mrs. P. E. Miller gave a very
pleasing talk on Rodin, the great
sculptor of the day, and is also ranked
next to the old master, Angelo. She
described maLy of his noted bronze
statues, telling that they were so nat
ural that they almost seemed human.
She showed pictures of his statues
explaining what each one represented,
thus making it doubly interesting.
The closing was very sad, as he is a
man of 70 years, and is almost penni-
less, because his beautiful villa and
grounds where many of this valuable
statues stand are confscated by the
French government and used for hos
pital purposes.

There is only the past and the future,
and that God did not create the world,
but is creating il every day."
To close, the members responded
with current events, after which the
club adjourned to meet with Mrs.

DETECTIVE CASEY
GOES TO STAPLES
Well Known Morris Policeman
Promoted to Position with
Northern Pacific Road

The Northern Pacific railway COM
pany has decided to have real live
copper on the beat at Staples. In cast
ing about for a suitable man for the
job the company officers selected
Roger Casey, we'll known and popu-
lar young man of this city. Casey
was approached on the matter last
week and decided to accept. A sub
stantial salary attaches to the posi-
ton. Mr.. Casey left for Staples Tues
day morning and is patrolling the Sta
Piles yards today RECALLED in a bran
new copper's uniform and swinging
his club Of authority.
Staples is one of the largest divi-
sion points for the Northern Pacific in
Minnesota. 1t is the junction point
for lines from st. Paul and Duluth
running into the North Dakota wheat
fields. Every spring and fall large
numbers of undesirable transients con-
gregate there and the road has ex-
pienced more or less difficulty in pre-
serving order. Frequently box cars
are opened and the losses through
thefts are heavy. Assaults upon
brakemen and citizens who have oc-
casion to visit the yards are frequent
and the town has gained an undesir-
able notoriety as a tough railroad
center. Mr.. Casey's orders are to
clean out the undesirables found
lettering around the yards and to
prevent crimes. He will have his
headquarters at Staples but will be
sent to other points along the line
at intervals where detective work is
required.
Casey served on the police force in
Morris last fall and part of the early
winter. He was chef of the night
force and proved himself a capable
and efficient officer. His friends in
Morris regret his departure from the
city but unite in wishing him deserved
success in his new but perilous as
signment.
A farewell party for Mr.. Casey was
arranged at the Mahoney farm Mon
day evening when Mike Mahoney was
the host to about a dozen friends.
The evening was spent with cards and
string of good stories after which
refreshments were sreved.

fence while Starting Gas En-
CINE at Browns Valley

While pouring gasoline from five
gallon can into an engine at the
Browns Valley sewer pump house one
day last week, W. T. Lindt was badly
burned about the arms and hands. A
spark from the engine reached the oil
and the can exploded. While the
scattered oil was blazing furiously
Lindt crawled on his hands and knees
to safety leaving trail over the en-
CINE. The oil can was blown to bits.
Fortunately the can contained only
small quantity of oil. Assistance
arrived and the fire was smothered
with snow. Lindt is quite seriously
injured and it will be some time be-
fore he regains the use of his hands.

condition and yet the general impression through.
out the country continues that the urban districts
are less healthy than the rural districts 1t is on.
of those old impressions which belong to the past
but cannot be eradicated For many years munich
palites great and small have given especial atten
ton to the health of the people sanitation food
inspection, and water supply. The rural districts
have relied on pure air, water that has not been
sewage, and fresh food 1t will be shock 70
many to learn that the cities and towns are more
healthy than the rural districts, but the mortality
statistics have indicated this by lower death rate
in the city of New York than in the rural district,
of that State The same condition has prevailed in
other States. More impure water is found in the
old oaken bucket on the farm than in the hydrant
of the city. More unclean surroundings are found
on the farm and in the village than in the so-caed
slums of the great city; and where there is no of
fetal inspection more impure food is used in the
country than in the town. The cities have looked
after the health of their people. The country has
ignored warnings and now the appeal is made to
the Federal government to investigate and try to
remedy these conditions

still impressed with the old saying that God made
the country and that God will take care of it, are
giving their whole attention to the man-made
towns as in need of regulation by those who live
in the country and do not attempt to regulate their
own affairs so as to guard against disease. Every
year the appeal is made to the rural voters to insist
upon legislation by Congress and State legislatures
to more carefully regulate the life of those who
live in cities, though they were incapable OF
taking care of themselves.
With the appeal of the United States Public
Health Service for a large appropriation to study
and try to improve the health conditions in the
rural districts, and with the lower death rate in
cities than in the rural districts, it might be we'll
to give less attention from the outside to the man
agement of municipal affairs, until at least the
rural communities show an improved condition
that will equal those of the cities.

to maintain the old balances of the

The men who had peopled Texas out
of the South had not taken possession
of her government to maintain them
selves In independence. They had taken
possession in order to bring the fair
territory into the Union to which they
conceived her properly to belong.
Her broad expanses were the natural
growing ground of the South. The
political advantages the South would
reap from the addition OF Texas to the
Union were palpable and obvious,-so
palpaole and obvious that politicians in
the East deemed her virtual conquest
by southern men a concerted scheme for

Only by the addition of territory and
the creation Of new states south of the
line drawn by the Missouri compromise
could the South hope to preserve that
equality between the sections in the Sem

tnuance Of her chosen ways OF life. to

The vast area of Texas, big enough for
