THE FINAL IMPOSITION

of gold monometaliism is far away"
Continuing his presentation Of the
desirability Of an international agree
ment which had been depressed from
to refer to the Secretary OF the Treas
ury, Mr.. Wolcott said:
Whatever differences of opinion
may exist as to the ability of this coun-
try to maintain alone the parity be-
tween silver and gold, there is no ques-
ton that the concurrence Of other ma
lions would help and not hinder the
cause Of bimetallism in the United
States, and efforts to secure it ought to
receive the cordial support Of every
citizen who is opposed to gold mono
nletailism. international bimetallisn
is not myth, chimera. The people
CT Europe are, even as we are, strug-
Cling to keep their heads above water
and seeking blindly for that which
may make for prosperity and for pro-
gress.

A PSALM OF LIFE.

Toll us not in mournful numbers
Life 10 but an empty dream,
When Ger the Marietta High School
hoated
The Junior colors, Pink and Green.
Life was real life was earnest
10 the Sophomores that day.
Thev were afraid the Junior colors
Had been put up there to stay.
But while at prayer tho school had
gathared
And closed were all the doors
Out stole some cowArdly Senior
And our colors hoated there no more.
Art was long and time was fleeing
And our hearts were stout and brave.
At noon the Seniors felt like beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
The lives of Seniors all remind us
or the mean things they will do.
But, that they meddle with our colors
They get in trouble quite and true.

New Court House, Yes!

Mr.. Editor-Much has been written
and said about the need of a more ar
tistic and modern Court House. about
what an ornament it would be to the
city, and how much a Court House in
dicates the character of the commun-
ity IN which it stands. Also the very
trifing amount which would be added
to the taxes Of any citizen in order to
build 1t. While al this is well and
very true, the man reason for
Court House is far away beyond this.
The title to every acre and city lot in
this county is in jeopardy every mo-
ment the old structure stands 49,
Will anyone then withhold his as
sent to the expenditure of money
enough to preserve the title to his
property beyond all peradventure.
Will any heir vote mo" when there
is large chance of losing the instru-
ment by which he has or will inherit

The Probate Judge, too, has no place
whatever in which to hold trials or in
quests; and were the records of his
Office destroyed by are, as they are H.
able to be at any moment, the injury
would simply be irreparable, and the
confusion resultant therefrom meal
culable. The destruction of wills and
the records Of unsettled estates should
no longer be a possible contingency.

cent and we'll ventilated court room no
one can gainsay for a moment; and

Self Consciousness,

She stood eagerly looking into one
of the great display windows of a
down town jewelry store.
Her rapt attention attracted mine,
and l gazed at what she seemed to be
observing.
There were watches and diamonds,
and Rookwood vases and a thousand
objects of beauty and articles of vir-
tue.
mo wonder she admires them" I
was saying to myself-when she sud-
denly cooked her pretty head over on
one side, adjusted feather in her hat,
stroked down stray tress of hair up
on her forehead, and smiled at the re-
Election on her own loveliness in the
thick plate glass.
"Oh, OH" l exclaimed, half audibly,
'and so it was herself she saw, and
not the other pretty things at all,
Well, she shows her good taste, for
she is prettier tnan them all"
But still-it gives ones nerves lit
tie shock. A too sudden revelation of
self-consciousness (even in a pretty
girD excites an irrepressible disap-
proval in the soul. 1t is not altogether
to her credit that she should be total
ly oblivious to all the other kinds of
beauty and absorbed with her own
alone.
But she stood as a type of most of
us after all; for sad as is the confess
sion, we are most interested in that
whicn we most clearly perceive our
own self.
While we gaze at this thing or that
person, as If absorbed in wonder at it's
loneliness, the chances are ten to one
that it is ourselves we are looking at
and some little tell tale motion at last
betrays us.
How rare land how beautifully is
that entire absorption, that utter alb
olition Of self, which we see in child
rem as they look upon the objective
world.
There is little girl who climbs up
on the stone window sill of a drug
store out here in Avondale when the
lamps are lit, and the big globes of
red and green CLEAN in their rays.
She gazes at them, and at the people
who are drinking at the soda fountain

had already been enlarged, and it was
decided to. put on a fronts piece; ac-
cordingly the old front was pulled out
as you would draw out a telescope or
an accordion, and the clerk of courts
and county Auultor were given some
much needed room and more commod
ious stairway was provided, indeed
the last enlargement was nearly all
stairway and upper and lower hall.
The population of this county now
is estimated at $4,000 with business
enlargement in accordance with the in
crease of population, rendering the old
court house with its two additions en-
tirely inadequate.
What will you do, put another patch
on the old pants? 1t is hard now to
tell which was the original part of the
building unless you are posted on the
history of the structure; but just one
more patch on them jeans and it will
take smart man to tell which is
patch and which is not.
Once upon time there was sturdy
citizen by the name of Ben. Butler
down in Massachusetts,, who being in
Congress had drawn salary which
was called salary grab because the
congressman had increased their sal
airy to what it ought to be and had
made the law retroactive so that it
gave them some months of back sal
airy, that his enemies were raising a
holy howl ABOUT. One of these kickers
was especially loud in his denuncia-
tions of Butler and so the aforesaid
Ben Butler figured out how much of
his salary would be coming to this cit
izen and it amounted to just two
cents and Mr.. Butler sent him a two
cent stamp and told him to quit dis
turbing the public peace. See.
The vote for this proposition will be
taken on the Sth day Of November and

improvement will cost you, please do
not say anything more about the cost,

Court House Reiuvenescent.

In 1922 the requirements of business
at the court house were very limited.
Let us just out Of curiosity take an ex-
cursion back into the past, not to dig
up old dry statistics, but to come to re-
alize If we can the varying conditions
and demands that must have pressed
on the early inhabitants and their des-
cendants along down the years until
we approach the present period.
Beginning with the present century
Washington county had in 1900, 5427
people; in 1910 the county had in
creased to 1891; in the year 1920, two
years before the present building was
put up, we had 1O,425 people in the
county, and it was to accommodate the
business OF that many people that it
was built. In 1880 it had grown to
11,730; in 1910, that was the year Of
tie hard cider campaign of "Tippeca-
noe and Tyler too" Washington coun-
ty only had 2o,S23 inhabitants. In
1850 we had 29,540 and the business Of
the county had grown so that a new
addition was within the next few years
planned by r. e. Harte, graduate Of
Yale College, and one may see the
classic lines OF the architects ideas
cropping out all over th.s addition. 1t
may be classic, but 1t was like join
ing June to December. However, it
served the purpose to accommodate
the ever growing business of the coun-
ty offices for number of years. In
1860, close now onto the heroic period
In our history when Washington
county's sons were marshaling in
arms for four long years of war, we
had in that eventful year sc, 1856 people
in this county. In the year 1870 after
the storm OF war had passed away and
the empioyments of peace had as
sumed their usual vigor we find that
the population had increased to 4O,-
60S. Coming down now to a period
that Is remembered by most of our
readers we find that In 1880 we had
1924. However, in 1876 the CRYING
needs OF the court house situation
called loudly for relief, either N a
new building or in extensions of the
old structure which as we have seen

Martetta's Vote November 9th.

The vote of Mariettans may be di-
vided on political grounds, but it
ough. to be only one way on the new
Court House proposition.
Every Marietta man who has a vote
and every Marietta woman who has
any influence ought to use it to pro-
mote the good cause--a new Court
House, one that will be an or
nament to the city, and reflect favor
ably upon the liberality of every voter
in the county.
The French have a proverb which
says: lie premier pas qui coute, "
which means literally translated, sit
is only the first step which is dinicult
to make" Let us take this first step
in the direction of new Court House,
one up-to-date and with all modern
improvements; and it will be an in
cenuve to build other structures on
the same line.
If this first move proves successful
it will bring about the best of results.
No place of the size of Marietta can
boast of finer streets or better dwell
ing houses. Why shouldn't we have
all our public buildings in accord with
our private residences?
Not only should every Mariettian
use his or her influence that way but
whenever that influence can be of any
assistance towards the good end it
should be useu even if it should be-
come necessary to call on cousins and
friends on the roadway; for one pull
and long pull, and harmonious one
only can bring us the desired consum-
nation. l. P.

Ohio River Improvement,

General John NJ. wilson, the Chief
Engineer of the United States, has
made public his report. 1t shows that
SIS, zoe, 1922 has been expended on the
Ohio river since 1925, up to June .,
1897. The report says:
THE work accomplished up to that
date has been of great benefit to nav
igation. but at many localities good re-
suits can only be obtained by a large
expenditure, and the small amount
available yearly for the whole river
prevents much desirable work of i'm
provement.
"The work done during the year is
as follows:
Bank protection at Davis Island;
repair of dam between Davis and New
lille Islands, dredging of bars at Rae
coon, Rising Sun, Craigs, Flint Island
and Paducah, and for improving har-
bors at Golconda and Brooklyn, ILL.,,
and Madison, Ind; complete loose
stone dikes at Craigs and French Is
land and building a short spur dixie at
Blennerhassett Island. In addition to
work by United States snagboat, six
teen boat and barge wrecks were re-
moved from the channel near Pitts
burg; two wrecks at Mt. Vernon, IND. !;
104 snags at Craigs; 11S snags and SO
cubic yards of rock between Pomeroy
O., and Lawrenceburg, Ind. The levee
at Shawneetown was strengthened
with 1000 cubic yards of earth filling.
Dixie work and bank protection at
Evansville under contract was practi-
cally completed.
Field work in establishing per-
manent reference points of the lines
at Pittsburg, Wheeling and Cincinnati
was carried on at various times for
five months, special attention being
given to encroachments, of which
about "a were reported and the parties
warned of legal prohibitions. Office
work on harbor lines was continued
most of the year.
The total amount of freight trans
ported during the calendar year was
II, ,265,69S tons; passengers, 1914, 1853.
No new lines of transportation have
been established that would material
ly effect the aggregate commerce of
the river.
In general terms the object of the
work now being done and that pro-
jected on the river is to secure, as
nearly as may be, an uninterrupted
navigation as may be, an uninterrupted
with a minimum low water channel
depth of six feet.
The total amount expended on the
Improvement of the river for the last
seventeen years is not more than 21h
per cent of the value of the commerce
carried on the river in a single year.
The work heretofore done has un-
doubtedly been of the greatest utility
in lessening the danger and difficulty
A&~' NoN'ioh eahu CD q 10
commerce, but the capacity of the up
per river can only be fully developed
by continuation of the system of
movable dams begun below Pittsburg.
OF the Importance of the Ohio river as
an inland waterway, the report says:
The Ohio river from Pittsburg, Pa,
to its mouth in the Mississippi near
Cairo, ILL.,, has length of about 1000
miles. Its total drainage area is
about 100000 square miles. The total
population of the cities and towns
Immediately upon the banks
Of the Ohio and its principal tributar-
les, in round numbers, is 100000"
General Wilson estimates that $780,
BOO can be profitably expended in i'm
proving the river in the year ending
June 80, 1900.
