SWANSON TALKS ABOUT '.
The BuTTERM|LK CURE
Commissioner Swanson Explains
Why He Did Not Vote for the
Des Laos Bridge Proposition.

TO THE M1Nor INDEPENDENT.
Sometime about the first part Of July
L. r. Carroll called on the Clerk of Dis
trict Court and asked the Clerk to send
in his requisition for court calendars as
the Optic was "broke'. The requisition
was made out and the Optic brought in
bill for $4,000 for printing $50 of them,
which was allowed without two men,
bers of the Board ever knowing that
such bill had been presented, a war
rant was Immediately issued and de-
livered, and without the consent of the
auditor the Optic bill was taken from
the files Some three days later L. r.
Carroll brought the bill back and ex-
planned that he had made a demand on
but that the Optic had already spent
the money SO the best he could get the
Optic to do was to add few minor
articles to the bill.
At the August meeting Carroll passed
a resolution instructing the County
Auditor to demand the warrant back
from the Optic and issue one in return
for $4,000. Why should the Auditor be
bothered in this way ? He did not
authorize the bill, nor did he allow it.,
anu Wucu OuEEOll COulO llOC ScG ~ OoCh
Immediately after it was issued; how
could the Auditor get it back after a
month had passed? Why did not Car
roll move to instruct States Attorney
MCGEE to proceed against the Optic for
the return of that warrant. Doesn't it
look as if Carroll and his colleagues
knew that Mr.. MCGEE would have done
so and that then the Optic would not
have gotten pay for calling people liars
and other pretty names such as "But-
termilk Drained" etc.? Well. isn't it far
easier and cheaper to take the SHUTTER
milk cure" than the 'whiskey cure"
As to the vote on building the Des
Laos bridge which the Optic raved over
so in the daily of the 10th (although
they didn't see fit to publish it in their
weekly will say that I have never voted
against any bridge that was properly
let. Now let US see if the county com
missioners are fair with the taxpayers
and farmers of this county. think it
will be very easy to get the majority of
the farmers and taxpayers to agree with
me that there are ninety coLlies in this
county that should and could be bridgea
on an average of $4,000 each and that
each one of the ninety bridges would
accommodate as many farmers as the
DesLacs bridge will, costing slS,5OO.OO

LEFT TO THE HAGUE TRIBUNAL.
Proposed Scope of the Second Peace
Conference

Inquiry into the status of the negotia-
tions initiated by President Roosevelt look
ing to second peace conference, suggested
b. Lord Lansdale's reference to the sub
ject in the British parliament. develops the
fact that the State Department here has
completed its functions far as that mat
ter is concerned, at least for the present,
having remitted 1t to the executive coun-
ell of The Hague tribunal. That was done
the German government to induce this gov
ernment to outline the program Of the SUBJ
tects to be considered at the second con-
ference.
For some reasons the State Department
would have been pleased to have acceded
70 this German suggestion, but after ma
ture consideration it was concluded that to
accept 1t would be to jeopariiZe the Sue
cess of the undertaking. 1t was feared that
conflicting Views of the great nations as to
the limitations to be placed upon the con-
ference could be more easily reconciled by
the august executive council whose recon-
gestion of leaning toward the interests of
any one power. Even the peculiarly favor
able situation of the United States might
not suffice to prevent the suspicion on the
part of some of the powers that the State
Departments suggestions in the shape of
pre- gram were entirely disinterested. 50 the
whole matter has been duly submitted by
the State Department to the executive coun-
Gil with the full approval of all of the great
powers addressed by President Roosevelt
and i is fully expected that very soon after
the conclusion of the present war in the
far east the council will issue call for the
second conference.
