THE NEW CITY HALL

The people of Marion do not
seem to be fully aware that in two
weeks from next Monday the vot-
ers of the city are to be called
upon to decide whether or not TO
erect a new city hall, new CEN
tral fire station and a new city
market. Very little Is now being
said upon the proposition and this
indeed may be taken to mean
that the people have determined
upon what course TO pursue and
are going at their work with a
hearty good viii.
Not man has ever been found
lwho will say that the improve
msnts are not needed, and if such
a man does live in Marion, he
should secure the advice of some
of the visitors to the city and see
what disinterested party will
say. Just let him take any strang
er in the city around to see the
old pile of bricks which does ser
vice for city building, then af-
ter having encompassed IL about
let him take him to the fifth floor
of the Huber block and allow him
to get a bird's-eye view of the
thing with all of its surroundings.
then ask HIM whether in his es-
tlmation the old structure is in
keeping with Importance of the
city. Let him take the strangers
answer and on April 9th vote ac-
oordingly.
Marion has long boasted Of has-
ing business men who are wide
awake, and full Of energy. The
claim has not been a false one
as the up-to-date stores and the
handsome new business blocks at
test. Marion has finer stores and
more handsome business blocks
than any other city of its size In
this part of the state. These have
been accomplished because of en-
torprise upon the part of set OF
hrstling business men.
What evidence has the city as a
whole given to these businessmen,
that 1t appreciates or even recog-
nizes their enterprl'o' True, miles
OF street paving have been laid
and parks have bean purchased and
few stones have been laid in the
wa7 of the business men In the
granting of franchises which
would permit interurbans from
entering the city to widen the
scope of the local merchants. but
what encouragement has been Civ
on to those who are improving
their property by erecting new
buildings? The old city building
has been allowed to stand there.

THE MAN AND HIS JOB.
NBy Herbert J. Hapgood.)

Initiative coupled with judgment is
"a requisite truly necessary to person
al success. A man with the one and
without the other is like an automo-
bile with a good four-cylnder engine
and deficient steering gear. 1t can
make lots of headway, but is very apt
to knock down some one or run into
an iron fence. Seldom we find a man
possessing both the disposition to go
ahead and the ability to decide in
matters of import.
IL Is easy enough to do any old
thing at the right time, but the man
who can do the right thing at the
right time Is most useful to his en-
ployer. Some people can see what is
to be done and have the power to do
it. But when 1t comes to an ex-
preston of opinion, their judgment
is worse than that of a country base
ball umpire.
On the other hand, good judgment
without the ability to go ahead is
worse than useless.
A jacliass was once stationed at a
point equally distant between two
bundles of hay. There was all he
wanted to eat on one side, and all
he wanted to eat on the other. Or
ldinarily even jackass would have
possessed reason enough to take the
bundle lying nearest to him. What
could he do, however, when one was
as far off as the other That ques-
Ition was too tremendous for the
jackass. He tried TO use his best
judgment, and stood there with hay
piled up on both sides of him. He
lacked initiative, however, and as the
story goes, starved to death before he
could come to "A decision.
Some one advises young men:
Take time to consider but decide
definitely" 1t always pays TO take
time, but II never pays to take all
the time in forming a suitable judg-
'emnt. The man who was all day
making up Lis mind, is no better than
the jackass between two bundles Of
hay.
Sum up the facts in the case, for
mulate your opinion with despatch
and then 20 ahead. Say to yourself
"Fiat!" which in ordinary parlance
means, "Let 'er rip"
Employ judgment in your everyday
affairs. but take initiative as its in
eyitable co-worker.

The death of Bishop Charles
Henry Fowler removed one of the
foremost Christian workers of the
world. For years he has been the
moving spirit in the missionary
work of the Methodist church
and to him that denomination owes
much for the advanced position it
has taken in many fields. Bishop
Fowler was man so thoroughly
up in his work that he
had time for nothing else. The
hind of man who does things
and in doing them makes his name
immortal.

ditions seem to favor the under.
takings at this time.
All that is lacking is the sane
ton of the voters, and this de-
fcro.cy should be overcome at the
polls on April 9th. Every man
should go to the polls on that day
and after carefully studying the
situation cast his ballot according
to the conclusion he reaches.

certainly not thing of beauty,
but an eyesore forever. 1t has not
been improved in appearance in the
least but. If such a thing were
possible, 1t has been allowed to be-
come more uninyiting with each
succeeding year.
All of this time the city has
been forced to rent rooms for
,some of its Offices. Most of the city
officials have been housed in rent
ed quarters which were safe and
comfortable. The mayor the police.

The city market question is one
which stands by itself. Marion has
not had n city market for many
years and what it has had has
been more in the line of an ex-
pertinent. But, we have had enough
OF market and have had it long
enough to know that II is good
ana very necessary thing. The city
market has proven God-send to
many of the families of Marion
and it should not only be continued
but enlarged. The present market
house is clearly not sufficient to
meet the needs of the people. 1t
IL poor excuse of market and
should be replaced with one which
is more metropolitan.
Is it not high time that the
people of Marion were awakening
to the disgrace Of allowing a
bunch of old shlnties to stand
around an out-of-date old unsafe
structure Which is now mis-named
a city hall? Is it not time the city
was recognizing the enterprise of
its individuals. and doing some
thing in the way of building itself?
Things cannot always go on as
they have gone and as they are
going now. The time will come, If
1t is not already here, when some
thing must be done. Instead of
