OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS | NO SECRET TRADING The refusal of the Senate to order public sessions of the armaments conference does not mean that the proceedings are to be accompanied by any of the clandestine skullduggery th.at characterized the meetings of the peace conference at Paris. For the United States to inform the other parties to the arma- ments conference that no meetings shall be held unless report- ers are present ‘vould be bad manners. Furthermore, frank diplomatic exchanges cannot take place if it is known that} every remark and argument is to be blazoned forth to the world. But the country may rest assured there will be none of t}}e secret trading resorted to so frequently at Paris, and no “Big | Three” will get together in a private ante-chamber and arro- gate to themselves the power to dictate to the whole confer-| ence. 5 : P NO “WATCHFUL WAITING” HERE Hostilities between Panama and Costa Rica have been dverted again, and it looks as though permament peace be- tween the two countries has at last been established. The avoidance of bloodshed is due entirely ,to the firmness with which Secretary Hughes has handled the affair from Washing- ton. Former Chief Justice White made the boundary award, and Costa Rica and Panama were informed in unequivocal terms that the United States would enforce its provisions. The proceedings are an ill‘ustx‘ation of the way the league of nations was designed to keep the peace, a theory which it has not and never will follow in practice. —_—C——— i DRAFTING SILVER The United States mints are concentrating their efforts on the coinage. of silver dollars to replace 350,000,000 coins of that denomination melted during the war and sold to Great Britain as bullion. When that melting took place, special certificates of indebtedness were issued by the treasury to take the place of “the silver certificates withdrawn from circulation, and they now represent a substantial part of the national debt. As fast as the new silver dollars are coined, several hundred thousand a day, the certificates of indebtedness are being retired, and the[ debt reduced to that extent. In about two years all of those| certificates will have been cancelled., 0- SAME OLD ARGUMENT The coal miners have informed Secretary of Labor Davis their present contracts with the operators expire next spring they will probably ask for further increases. They base their position on the fact that “because of the lack of steady employ- ment the miners today cannot mdke a living at the wage rate they now receive.” That fact is probably true, but it does not follow that miners’ wages are too low. They would find_ thiat another rpise would make it still more difficult to make a living, rather than easier. Their only hope, if they but knew it, lies in a lowering of wages with consequent stimulation of the coal market and a higher return’to them, P T rePr PP PP PP PPPPPRLTTTTLEELLLLLL L EE R WHAT OTHERS SAY TO THE “PROTESTING CITIZEN" Answer to your letter of the 29th, Published in the Bemidji pioneer, We know that we have in our city people that are very nervis and can not stand to bare the noise that arrise from the heavy street traffic in our city, and there for are making a complane of the same through the Pioneer. But it 1s to bad that people that want to live on noiseless street or av. happin to be located on such a street or Avenue as Beltrami where:,thie traffic is the gratest in the city, and the noise from the traffic of the same can not be gone away with, in order that thereis hundreds and hundred§ of auto going to and fro as will as tractors, trucks, farmers wagang, deliver wagans, and people by the hundreds streaming up and down the walks, ta'king, laughing & singing, What are we going to do to stop it, can it be done?
