GOWNS FOR SUPREME JUSTICES. COURT We do not see the reason io the great outcry of the State press against the ' proposition that our supreme court justices should wear gowns on the Dencn. wiimingwn messenger. : ,j Tbere is no reason for 'auch oppo sition. The idea is a good one. We Insist that the fudges be respected 1 -whether the law is or not. Hender- aon Gold Leaf. - J The Frkb Press is another that , Hails to lea the reason fop the outcry. It la true that the dress does not -stake the man by a good deal, and for that reason it will not hurt our justices J - as such to weargowns. The judges - of our highest court can well afford to assume this much as a badge of honor, ' lor the respect and . dignity of their 'nigh office, -v It detracts nothing from the useful , :ness or the soldier, the sailor, tne min later, the priest or scholar, upon occa ion, to wear a distinctive insignia of -office. On tne contrary such a distln ruishing mark really adds to their efficiency as a matter of experience. A special costume would add dignity to our supreme court bench, a dignity ahat would be appreciated by all those in the court room, the reflex influence of waich would be felt by the oocu jmnta of the bench. Dress does : have He effect upon, the average human : being, and there is some thing of the average in ua all. 'And from an his torical standpoint gowns would be peculiarly fitting to our supreme court justices. : tus r REE rHES9 is willing to go ooe step further ' and suggest that Jurors, when sworn, be compelled to wear a badge of some kind, on the . eoat for instance. Some such mark would set the juror apart from the care : 3eaa or unthoughted tamperiog ; out' side Influences. ', - ;V-'v:'fu '' - " NOT THROUGH YET. A closely contested election was ht Id yesterday in the court house. As wa anticipated, the voters will have to be onsalted again before a conclusion ol tbe whole matter can be reached. No one was nominates for the posl-1 no of mayor. ; The contest waa sharp, and the friends of the respec tive candidates rallied to ttfir support Jhandsomely.

First governor of Ohio. I istence cluster about that city. It was there that the state was born and struggled upward 1 through the first years of its existence. It was this little town which a hundred year ago was the capital of all that northwest terri tory lying between the Ohio and the Mississippi. It was at Cbllllcothe that General Arthur St Clair set up his ter ritorial government as governor of the northwest territory, and the house in which he dwelt is still standing. The agitation for statehood received its greatest momentum under the lead ership of a quartet of Chlllleotheans Thomas Wortbington. Nathaniel Mas iie. Edward .Tiffin and Donald Duncan McArthur and It was thereon Nov. 29. 1S02. that the first state constitution was adopted.: Finally It was at Chilli- rftthe la the spring of the following year that the young state came into being and Edward Tiffin elected her first governor. ' ..... With all these things In Its favor it waa Inevitable that Cbllllcothe, ahould be selected as the most fitting place to hold the great celebration, prepara tions for. which have been In progress for several mouths. Last fall the state legislature appropriated (10.000 as the atttte'a share toward the expenses and authorised Governor Nash to appoint a commission to take charge of It The state's contribution has been largely supplemented by other funda The State Historical and Arcbirolog loo I society appointed a centennial com' mission to act In 'conjunction, with the Michigan committee named by the governor. It waa decided that the celebration must be primarily oratorical, and speakers of national reputation have been In vited to be present As no aodltorlum la the city is large enough to accommo- : v.--' 'vi; Another feature which will be of great interest as well as appropriate to the occasion is the archaeological and historical exhibition. A liberal appro priation waa made for this feature, which will be beld in Memorial ball. Ross county has long been considered a treasure house of Indian and mound builder relics, and there will be gath ered all these relics. Illustrating the life and habits of those people. There will also be a large department de voted to portraits, manuscripts and oth er things of Interest connected with the history of the state. j It is proposed to have the addresses from a consecutive series, which will give more fully and accurately than ever before the history of Ohio and the northwest territory from the moment the French sailed down the Belle ri viere to the present. iXl A most elaborate scheme of decora tion wa adopted, which will transform the town into a veritable Verilce in car nival time. The principal streets will be made Into courts of honor, with elaborate arches and Venetian masts, ablaze with color by day and agleum with light by night The public build ings will be outlined with electric lights, and every private dwelling in the city will be draped with flags., ban ners and bunting. Nature will also be In her richest garb at that time, and Cbllllcothe has always had good reason to bonst of her natural beauty, so that she will be doubly attractive during centennial week. While the formal programme calls for but two days the celebration will last several days longer. It bus been decided that a celebration of such mag nitude must nave some reaturea of a spectacular nature. State, county, city and all the patriotic societies have tak en a deep interest in the event and will each contribute a symbolical or .histor ical float for the grand parade.': The military display will be most Imposing. A detachment of regular troops; will probably take part as well as' the mili tia from Indiana, ' Illinois, Wisconsin, PEOPLE OF THE DAY '.'; ..i' - ';"lw,':. ;' ' V'.;. th We4a m Tr lolellew. .
