WE SHOULD BUILD A
new COURT HOUSE.
Old Buildings are Tumbliug Down
And a Menace to Officials
And Records.

That Elmore county needs a new
court house is conceded by all who
have had occasion to visit the pres.
ent buildings which have served the
purpose for the past twenty years or
more, but we hardly realized the de.
lapidated condition they were in un-
I'll this week when the Republican
editor was invited to inspect several
of the office buildings.
At the treasurers office we found
the desk standing ON an angle of
ABOUT forty-fiye degrees-one corner
broken through the floor, large
mole sufficient in circumference to ad.
nit a full grown man, and the en-
tire floor so sagged and uneven that
t makes one sea.slck to move around,
In.ess very careful.
We We're informed by Mrs. Long
fellow, treasurer, that this office is
lot in any worse condition than some
OF the others, and to prove ner con-
.ention asked us to step into the
sheriff's office. Here, again, our at
9ntion was called to the chronic po-
sitlon of the court house furniture, the
SIZE on about the same angle as the
.reasurer's s desk, one wheel broken
through the floor and the entire floor
ia5gng in the direction of the safe,
and 1t was plain to be seen that
,ooner or later it will be unable to
bear the burden In the jail part
here were large holes all over the
floor and one can put his heel
through the floor any place. A man
is kept on guard at all times when
prisoners are confined within the
Jail to insure their safe keeping, fcr
b would be only matter of few
for them to kick a hole
in this place to gain their
freedom.
The same condition exists at the
court room, as we were informed by
Deputy Sheriff Fountain that before
court could be held there, the floor
lad to be propped up with rock.
At the assessors office are many
valuable books, plats and records
which, In case of fire, would be wholly
entailing a loss Of many
thousands of dollars, records which
could not be reproduced at
my price. True, the commissioners
ire building an addition to the vault
Vt the recorders office, but even this
Will not be adequate and 1t will be
to transfer back and
orth each day, some of which are
iiling cabinets.
The present buildings have served
heir purpose we'll for many years an
lave saved the county many thous-
lnds of dollars at a time when El-
more County could not afford to build
arge and expensive buildings, and
vhtle the present times are none too
here, 1t seems to us that
t is the heighth of folly to delay any
onger. II we do not build a new
,ourt house, the present ones will
ave to be repaired, and this will mean
IN expenditure of many hundreds of
Iollars, so why not do the thing right
md build a new one at once.

Why They Often Miss

If man on the rear platform
of an express train going so miles
an hour throws a stone backward
along the track at the rate of 80
miles initial speed impaired to the
stone, the stone will drop straight
to the ground at the point where
1t leaves the thrower's hand.
This is the problem presented
by the aeroplane attempting to
hit mark while flying above a
city. The layman does not under
stand why the dropped bombs fail
many times to hit the obvious
targets.
The Eiffel tower, st. Paul's,
Windsor castle, and other objects
aimed at are not hit, and the
missiles strike often half mile
from what they were evidently in
tended to strike.
Aerial experts say the problem
of accurately placing missiles be-
low is a new and difficult one
whose solution has not even be-
gun.

Peddling Canal Rights

A firm of Washington lawyers
has been commissioned to sell the
Nicaragua canal rights to the
United States government for
$3,000,000. The principal argu-
ment from Nicaragua's point of
view is that Nicaragua needs the
money. Moreover, the govern
ment now in control Is precari-
ously maintained by American
marines and is likely to collapse
at any time, so that any rights
which can be cashed in at this
time are 80 much to the good"
from the point of view Of those
temporarily enjoying the govern
ing privileges in Nicaragua.
From the American point OF
view it is merely case of buying
remotely possible competitor. II
Germany, for instance, were not
busy, it Is believed by some that
country would be willing to un-
dertake canal at Nicaragua to
compete with the Panama canal.
