Why Su'ch..Dl''elay?

Stripped of all quibbling anc
the convenience of using the
question for political effect is i
not a fact that County Clerk ano
Recorder Wyman was somewhat
negligent in not refusing to issue
warrants for the county commiss'
toner's fees and mileage in the
matter of viewing roads some two
years before he did? 1t must be
admitted by that official himself
that he did issue those warrants
for several thousands of dollars
during period of about two years
before he took the stand he now
assumes. It will be remembered
that several weeks ago the board
| of county commissioners pub
lished a signed letter in several of
the newspapers of the county ex-
planning that they considered his
attitude on the matter as retalia-
ton of their effort to have him
account for certain fees collected
for transcribing the records for
the new counties cut off from old
Dawson county during the past
tive years. Is it not true that the
b04rd of county commissioners
several months ago passed a res
olution dealing with this matter
aud thatssince that time the pro-
ceedings'of the county board have
not been published in the official
county newspaper? There are
conflicting statements as to why
these proceedings have not been
published, but no doubt the rea.
son could be explained by some
of the interested officials either
Mr.. Wyman or the commissioners
themselves. These matters should
be decided by the courts irrespec-
tive of the interests of either Mr..
Wyman or the members of the
bo4rd of county commissioners.
The fact that Mr.. Wyman waited
50 long before refusing to issue
these warrants would seem to in
dicate that he cared nothing about
the merits of the proposition.
There is no question but that if
he had actually had the interests
pf the people at heart, he would
nave refused to issue a warrant
'or the first claim that came into
1is office contrary to the reading
IF the statute.-Jordan Gazette.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-ln the midst
of the great European war the idea of
international sport and competition
will not down. The advocates of
these games are constantly advanc-
ing plans for such meetings, to take
place during hostilities or immediate
ly following the declaration Of peace.
1t is repeatedly pointed out that such
friendly engagements in the realms of
sport will either help in bringing
about peace or act as a balm for the
bitterness engendered by the conflict
An example of these frequent ef-
forts is shown in plans for an interna-
tional sport meeting after the war to
be held in Holland, the land OF inter
national meetings. fhis interesting
idea is put forward in one of the lead
ing Dutch newspapers by a sport en-
