TIME IS NOT
 YET. RIPE FOR
 PEACE"- "--CEC|[
Allied Governments Will Dis cuss Pope's Proposals Joint ly-Lansing and Advisors Continue to Study Message.
(By Review Leased Wire)

LONDON, August 17.-The' allied governments will discuss jointly the peace proposals of Pope Benedict and reply will be issued in due course, Lord Robert Cecil told the Associated Press tonight. Whether the reply will be joint note or, as suggested in some quarters, through the medium of the United States or by some other manner will be decided later. When the correspondent entered the office of the minister of blockade he was seated at a desk with a package of documents dealing with the fate of the crew of the steamer Belgian Prince, while another packet lying near told the story of the American steamer Campana, ,\sunk August 6, and from which the captain and several gunners were removed by the crew of the Belgian Prince is not yet known.
 Says Pope Is Sincere.
 Tt is difficult totalk of condition remarked Lord Robert in response to question, regarding the papal note, while reading stories like that | sincerely hope the American prison CTS taken from the Campana have not suffered the fate which the pirates meted out to our men aboard the Belgian Prince. It harks back to the awful days when old time pirates by way of reprisal made sailors walk the plank to certain death in the sea-"
 Turing to the note from the Vatican, Lord Robert. after prefacing his re- arks with the statement that inas- much as the matter now is subject for discussion by the allied govern ments he could express only his own personal views, saying: premature attempts at mediation are not usually successful and I fear this is prema- ture.
 q think we all realize the pope's motives are sincere and that he de. sires peace, ardently, as indeed we all do. But the time is not yet ripe.
 ''The allies cannot think of con- donement until the criminals are real " IcpchtdHt anu nave SHONH IL Dy word and deed"
 Proposals Considered.
 WASHINGTON, August 17.-That the government is determined to give Pope Benedict's peace proposal de | liberate and painstaking consideration before framing a reply, was evidenced again today by developments both at the white house and the state depart ment.
 The cabinet holding its first session since the note arrived, avoided any general discussion of the subject be- cause President Wilson is understood to feel that there must be a searching analysis of the questions raised.
 Secretary Lansing and his advisors, on whom mist of the responsibility for making this analysis will rest, continued their study of the pontiff's suggestion with every indication that it would require several days before any concrete decision can be reached.
 Meantime. however, the under-cur- rent of official thought manifestly continued to trend toward a convic- tion that the grand alliance will find some of the proposals in the Vatican note very difficult to accept.

well-to-do class as a result of mining.
There have been few removals to the
big cities. The desires of those who
have found wealth quickly seem to
have been easily satisfied.
Many Lead Same Life.
Some have moved to Platteville to
obtain better educational advantages
for growing families or have sent the
children away to universities Others
stay where they are and lead about
the same lives, made little more COM
Portable by better houses and farm
buildings A new automobile or
summer trip indicates the prosperity
of others. Some have embarked in
the mining business and go into new
parts Of the district as prospectors AMI
developers.
The royalty system and the circum-
stances which surround prospecting
seem to have prevented any great pc
riod of land speculation. Land is more
difficult to purchase than it was be-
fore the era Of discovery began. In
some localities, where the owner firmly
believes his holdings are mineralized,
the buyer does not have to pay a big
price. The land simply can't be pur-
chased In other areas which appear
to be quite as promising, land trans
fers are being made at considerable
advance over the old values. Several
transfers have been made from farm
ers to men who were never known to
be in the market for mineral land at
from $3.50 to $500 per acre. The royal
ty system appears to be the most salts
factory to all parties. If the drills
show a mineral deposit, the royalty
enables the farmer to capitalize the
mineral value of his land as soon as
the output begins to go on the mar
ket. If the drills show nothing, the
mine operator is saved the huge sum
he would forfeit if he first capitalized
the land at high price.

CLERK NUGENT ANSWERS
Mr.. ]. W. COULTER

1t is not necessary for any man %
do any lying about his motives, nor
publish it in all the papers in Marion
county to obtain information as 70
Marion county's finances, salaries,
fees or any matter Of public Interest.
Il have no time to reply at length to
John W. Coulter now, but will try 20
get time to do so in the next Weekly
Star and Banner.
The tax collector and county depos-
itory do not keep the books formerly
kept by the county treasurer. This
duty devolves on the commissioners.
They can employ any one to do this
and could adopt Mr.. Coulter's sugges-
ton and pay him $1,000 a year. They
pay me, however, $50 a month to do
it, $3.50 year, and this is what is in
.eluded in the budget and listed as
extra work. Mr. Gutter simply does
not know what he is talking about
Coulter could not possibly be taken
anywhere Cor an educated man. On
the contrary and while the word "dic-
tatorial" is certainly an ordinary
English word, yet it is a word that a
man who barely knows how to read
and write would not employ, and for
that reason l am wondering who in
spired Mr.. Coulter's article The
statement that the board is hamper
ed by my dictatorial methods is non
sense. Possibly the guileless gentle
man from Blitchton precinct may
have made the statement to simply
make plain his lack of malice. The
country commissioners of this county
are not subject to criticism. / in
clude all of them when l say that
they deserve the commentator of
this whole county. Marion county is
+ in remarkably fine shape as to fl
nances. / will go into detail as to
that phase of the matter in next
weeks paper and will only say here
that when any old nanny goes to
publicly bleating about the dear
peoples wrongs in this county, ex-
travagance of commissioners, and the
balance of plain rot that small men
adopt, that it might be good plan
for some friend to get him in some
secluded spot with a maui and maui
some wisdom into whatever part Of
goats anatomy might be the seat
of his understanding, which certainly
would not be the goats proverbial
hard head. Respectfully,

head off the effort being made by J

it would say that it meant a woman
