The PROPosED UNITED STATES CoURr-
The objection TO the matter as 1t nov
stands ls that 1t requires the courts to be
ned in more than one place 10 the western
district. One place Is enough. The dis
tricJ would be omposed Of about twenty
five counties all Intimately tied together BY
railroad lines, aud any point i'll The district
! 10 wllhina few hours easy travel only oil
any other point in it. The consideration OF
economy alone should decide the question
IN favor of only one court house tor the
western district. II congress furuiske.
more 1t will be done to sOothe the feelings
OF tavern keepers aud owners Of corner lot.
IN some one-borse town al he proposed
district.
But we srpposo Congress will do no such
foolish thing. And ii our suspicious should
turn out to be right, then Rock Island
show for securing The Federal court house
Is better than any Of the others. She can
adduce stronger reasons Why she
should be selected as the place for
! holding the Federal courts than al,
Of the Others. So far ss accessibility il con.
cerned Rock Island leaves nothing to be
desired. Railroads radiate from that poin;
INTO every county in the proposed district
! Briefly, no place Is more favorsbly situated
in respect to reaching it than this.
/ Aud then the United States is peouniariiy
interested in Rock Island. If she should bs
selected as the place at which the courts are
to be held the cost of the erection of build
ings may be saved. The government ha,
already just what is needed in this respect
There is capital court house already bull
that is it for no other purpose.
In fact, if Rock Island does her duty i
seems plain to US that she mus. succeed
And there are many strong reasons VII!
she should which we have not time moi
space to mention at present Geneseo Re
