Won Falkenhayn, has resigned and
has been replaced by Maj. Gen. Won
The former war min
has been made a general and
his position as chief of staff.
The British secretary of state for
foreign affairs, Sir Edward Grey,
does not find it possible to promise
that the former Hamburg-American
line steamer, Dacia, now under the
American flag, would not be thrown
into q prize court on her first trip,
should she attempt to make the voy-
age to Germany with a cargo of cot
ton, but declares that Great Britain
either would purchase the cotton at
the German prices upon the seizure
of the vessel or have the cargo placed
On another ship and forwarded to
rotterdam at its W expense.
The fighting in the western field
is of intermittent nature, as 1T has
been for the past week, but a sum

who is now receiving a salary of
$1,000 a year, will be taken over by
such deputy superintendent.
Mr.. Glasner calls attention to the
case of Brinker, the former commits
sioner of school and public lands.
Glasner was formerly a trusted en-
ploye in Drinkers office. The ex-
secretary is we'll aware OF the fact
that Mr.. Brinker admitted the
charges of obtaining money under
false pretenses and paid back to our
state $3.50 of money so obtained, in
The governors office In the presence
Of the governor, attorney general and
others. Why Mr.. Glasner is taking
this opportunity of defending his for
ner friends record, knowing the
facts as he knows them, is more than
[ can understand. Mr.. Brinker was
permitted to plead guilty to the
,harge of being financially interested
in a state contract let by the capitol
commission, in which he himself was
a member. Personally | have heard
many criticisms Of the attorney gen
erals department for not prosecuting
Mr.. Brinker on the charge of a fell
)ny. In order to set the public
| right, | wish to say that after help
'ng to run Drinkers record down,
| personally interceded for Mr.. Brin-
'ter. My purpose of investigation
hen, and my purpose Of any private
Investigation l may undertake now Is
not to punish as much as to remove
Undesirable officials and conditions,
md / could not help but feel pity for
| he man who brought disgrace upon
himself and upon the name of his
family.
AS to the giving away of the pres
dents and speakers chairs, am

a proposition at the last Legislature
| md that the legislature In this mat
ter acted without legal authority.
| The price of s175, as the secretary's
| report shows, for each chair, how
ever, seems rather excessive.
In paying $50 or more for each of
he pictures, which otherwise sell for
SIS apiece, Mr.. Glasner tries to justify
himself by referring to the price paid
by his predecessor. In other words,

or some other close relative in his or
her public office, Mr.. Glasner is not
the only one guilty of this practice.
In fact, making one of our public Of
fees a family matter is getting TO be
a common occurrence at the capitol
and in some instances, at least, have
resulted in negligence and deficiency
in our public service.
In conclusion, / wish to say that l
did not come to the legislature with
the purpose of making myself an in
vestigating machine. Primarily | am
here to consider conditions, means
and measures, which in some in
stances are of infinitely greater i'm
p%ortance to our state than any inves-
tigation that may be undertaken.
However, in following up any clue of
wrong doing, or malfeasance in pub.
lie of1ce, | have attempted to treat
every person alike no matter with
what party or faction such person
may be affiliated. | also wish to
state, and ! am saying this advisedly,
that IL the former secretary OF states
office is thoroughly investigated, a
condition OF extravaganza and irreg-
ularity will be revealed that neither
the ox-secretary of state nor his per-
ronal or political friends will have
occasion to be proud of.
In justice to myself and other pub
lie servants on whom Mr.. Glasnei
has attempted to throw reflection,
ask that every newspaper which has
published his open letter to me, will
also print this In full. BY the way
don't forget the big headlines.
Respectfully,
