Ohioans have been pointing with
some degree of pride to the fact
that the first Governor of Oklahoma
was Formerly an Ohio man, but Is
somewhat doubtful whether they
can continue long to do so. Cover
nor Haskell has refused to honor
the requisition of Governor Harris
for n. p. Crouse, the former Toledo
editor Anu publisher, who wanted
in Toledo, forpfFaud. IGOklahoma's
governor has ii6t given his reasons
for the refusal, but is known
that Governor Haskell and Mr..
Grouse were good friends some
years ego and it is supposed that
the refusal was made because OF
friendship. If Governor lIaskill is
the kind Oh a man who will use the
power which has been trusted to
him to stand between 4 man and
trial for crime with which he
has been charged, then he Is not
made OF the stuff of which Buck
eyes are proud. We admire man
who will stand up for his friends
so long as they are true blue, but
we also admire the man who can
turn on former friend when he

ing out rent and patching up the old
building. patching an old garment
with new cloth Thousands of dol
lars have been expended for rents
and repairs and what have we to show
for it? Take a look at the old build
ing and then answer the question.
Things cannot 20 on this way for
ever -. They have proceeded 80 far
very indiFerentiy. but the time will
come, ifs IL Is not already here, when
a change must be made.
There are some things which
strongly argue for beginning the work
|at this time. One of these, and prob
ably the strongest. is the solution
|of the question of the unemployed.
This is one of the problems which
|confronts the people of Marion to-
day. We may try to. close our eyes
to II, but we cannot shut II out.
There are many industrious men in
Marion, who today are out of employ
ment and whose families are in need
'of help. The best and really the
|only true way to help such men as
these Is to help them to help them
selves, and the erection of badly
needed and imperative city improve
ment with the stipulation that only
Marion worlmen are TO be en-
ployed would aid greatly in correct
ing present conditions. Another ar
gument in favor of beginning the
work as soon as possible Is the price
of building materials. The financial
conditions in the country today have
caused marked reductions in all lines.
The price of almost every commodity
has fallen and building materials are
no exception. A city hall could be
constructed more cheaply now than
it could have been a year ago. Couple
with this fact the advantage to be
gained by furnishing employment to
the unemployed industrious mon of
the city and bear in mind the elimin-
alton of rentals and repairs and re-
membering always the fact that the
improvement must be made within
the next few years at most and you
have some very strong arguments for
the beginning of work as soon as pos
sible. III after considering all OF
these you are not convinced, "have
a look" at the old shack.
The question is one which the vot-
ers of Marion must decide. The City
council is powerless to proceed with
out the sanction of the people. The
question is one which will, without
doubt, be placed before the people at
an early date. All that is asked is that
| 1t be given sober thought. Do not
take snap judgment and decide
against the proposition off hand and
do not decide for 1t without consider
alton. If the majority of the voters
are in favor of the move, then we
shall rejoice TO see a new building,
and II they be against it, then we
shall bide our time and wait until
the time shall come when delay is
no longer possible. 1t is question
which needs thought, and while
thinking "have a look. 4"
