And now Ralph Wheelock’s - in- come as private secretary to the gov- ernor is to be investigated by a leg- islative committee authorized by the| bouse, Speaker Dunn naming. the following representatives .as inves-l tigators, W. A. Harding of Winne- bago, J. F. Lee of Annandale: and| Ernest Lundeen of Minneapolis. Zealous members-of the house who in fitful flights of oratory can argue until red in the face against reap- portionment and other measures of vast importance and value to the! state, are shocked into a spasm of mortification and near-economy at the thought that Mr. Wheelock, than whom there is no public servant more conscientioug or of more rugged hon~ esty; is getting too much of the, now and ‘then, cherished wealth of the state. As secretary to the governor, Mr. Wheelock draws a salary of $1,500 and in addition notorial fees go to him, making a total income of ap- proximately $5,000 a year. There is no secret about his remuneration | and it is the same remuneration that | has gone to private secretaries in Minnesota for years and years, under democratic and republican. adminis- trations. Five thousand dollars a year is not too mush for such an office. There are many-‘enforced ‘expenses and the salary is'not excessive when the dig- nity and requirements of the posi- tion are considered. As a matter of fact the legislative investigations is running riot. There are investigations of the secretary of state, the Red Wing training school, a former com- the state engineer, missioner of insurance and other of- ficials and state organizations, until, if all are taken seriously, the conclu- 2 sion must be that our officers are pir-- ates and our institutions hot beds of | corruption. Of course, some of the tigations are timely and desirable, as, for instance, the inquiry into the methods pursued at the Red Wing training school, but to cut loose and spend the state’s money in probing men and institutions known to be proper is a waste of the taxpayers’| inves-| money and not a high compliment to those members of the legisiature who| are in the spotlight as a result.

MANEDVERS T Troops to Remain in Texas| Until Mexican War Ends.! | MONROE BOCTRINE NOTICE Mobilization Generally Believed to Be a Warning to Foreign - Countries That the United States Is Well Able to Take Care of All Emergencies Arising in the Western Hemisphere. Washington, March 10.—It is re- garded as a settled thing here that the United-States troops now being mobil- ized near the Mexican border will stay there until the revolution in the Diaz republic is settled and that cirecum- stances are very likely to arise that! will take them across the border. The main thing that is feared in ‘Washington now is the possibility of the early death of President Diaz. It s recognized here that Diaz' death would almost strely precipitate a state of anarchy in the Mexican ‘capital. ‘Wild rumors that Diaz is already dead; have been authoritatively denied and| disproved. The representatives of the revolu- tionists in Washington, as well as the attaches of the Mexican embassy, both agree on that. They fear riots and pillage. The lives of Diaz’ ministers would be in grave peril if the Mexican ruler should die at this time. Such an event would probably make it neces- sary for ihe United States to enter Mexico' at once, to protect the inter- ests of its own citizens, as well as those of foreigners. No Complaint From Mexico. While a number of causes may have contributed to bring about the action of the United States in mobilizing its| troops in Texas, it is denied in unof- ficial circles in Washington that a complaint by Diaz that the border was not being properly policed by this country was the motive force. While Diaz’ government may have made such representations in Washington the United States had a bigger reason | for acting. } It was the psychological time to| demonstrate to Europe that this coun- try is fully prepared to look after the politics of the Western hemisphere and can do it without suggestion or demand from any European power. The demonstration has come in the form of a military maneuver as dra- matic as it is significant. It means that the Monroe doctrine is in full ef- fect ‘and that if any interference in Mexican affairs becomes necessary it States alone. At present this country is neutral as to the Mexican revolution.

United -States troops along the Mexican border-is a spectacular attempt at intimidating the revolutionists is the belief of the officials of the revolutionary junta here. President Magon of the junta made the following statement: l “The rushing of American troops to the border follows an -appeal- to this government by Diaz and the moneyed interests of Mexico to lend them as much moral support as possible. “We do not believe the United States will make the mistake of actual- ly sending troops across the border, but will attempt by this show of force to frighten the revolutionists into abandoning active operations, which edged supreme. where, Ask for Mora night, an hour later than at present.
