just as proper for the editor to order

his few cents profit, as it is for Mr.
Merchant to send to Uncle Sans mail

women are students in the university,

THE PRESENT SITE

The INDEPENDENT has published lrti-
Giles flyoring the location of the court
house on the hill north of town In
doing this, it has given the advocates of
the different sites an opportunity to
put their arguments before the Gem
missioners and the public.
The commissioners will doubtless
weigh the arguments in favor of the diff
ferent sites and then proceed to locate
the new courthouse where they think
it should be to best serve the people of
the county. They are men of mature
judgement, strict integrity and good
business ability and whatever their
choice may be it will he the choice of
this paper.
But where should the new courthouse
be located? The advocates of the hill
sites urge the sightliness of the respect
ives sites, the absence of dust, good soil
for trees and lawns the growth of the
town northward and westward, etc. etc
The advocates of the present site urge
it's central location, its proximity to the
business district, it's accessibility and the
accommodation of all who have business
ut the courthouse
If sightliness is alone to rule in the
S election of the sight, the hill back of
the high school should be chosen It
has MI the advantages Of Block D in
soil, absence from dust, etc, and is
nearer the business center of the, town:
But leave out sightliness and the present
location is far superior to either of the
other sites that are urged. By the pllr-
chase of additional ground adjoining
the present Site the courthouse grounds
can he beautified and made the most
beautiful spot III town. This can he
done as we'll in the fiat rs on the hill
The argument that the old court
house and Jail are too valuable to be
destroyed is not as weighty rs it seems
to be on its face The old courthouse it
rs claimed could be used as IL dormitory
for the high school. Those who urge
this lose sight of the fact that the
building is old and in ~ few years will
he unsafe to use for any purpose. Be-
side this they fail to consider the OK
pcnsc of fitting up the old building for
Il dormitory. This would cost snug
sum and when done the county would
have but very little to show for the
money expended. No one denies that a
high school dormi,ory is needed badly,
hut the remodeling of the courthouse
for that purpose will not fill the bill
The above is written in reply to the
articles that have appeared favoring
locations on the hill. 1t expresses the
writer's sentiments uninfluenccd by
any consideration except what is best
for the people of the county in the
location of the new courthouse. If the
commissioners choose the present site,
the writer will bc pleased. but. if in
their Judgment the new courthouse will
better serve the people of the county
in some other location, he will grace
