THE REST ROOM CONTROVERSY. There has been @ needless and ap- parently a very foolish agitation of the “Rest Room” in the court house, being partially sustained by the insignificant allowance by the coun- ty court of twelve dollars per month. Brother Moore, of The Hume Tele- phone, in a spirit of rallery, made @ slight criticism of the court in that matter and like the man who affirm- ed the horse was sixteen feet high, his word was out and he just bad to maintain his position when assault- ed. The Democrat published last week that the court, through Presiding Judge MeFudden, had actually or- dered the rooms vacated. Tois, com- ing to the attention of the ladies in various sections of the county, who had become conversant notpnly with the convenlence but the absolute necessity of such place, the very “dickins” wastopay. Protestscame infrom every direction thick and fast and a petition was started praying the court to malntain the Rest Room. Now comes Judge McFadden and says that he had not given any order to vacate the rooms and further that ous at Lonis Repub! some chairs pollee lowers tary, delega Mr. was di ing them. There certainly was no such order of record, and the county clerk’s office had no knowledge of such an order having been made. About the only good eo fur that has come out of the agitation is to show the popularity of the restroom with ladies who come to the county seat. One ludy said to us that the maintaining of the rest room was aboutthe only thing of a public na- ture the tax payers had ever done ex- clusively for the comfort aad con- venience of the women. Any one who seriously criticises thecounty court, certainly hase mis- apprehension of the scope and pur- pose of the rest room. The court houee is not a Butler institution, but {s built by and for the people of the whole county, and & man or woman may live in the extreme corner of the county and not visit Butler once a bers. from t The says: ere pa. the pri year, a Republ means fuse to have as much interest {n the court house and its public conveniences as one who lives within a mile of Butler. The conveniences are not meant for and are seldom used by the citizens of Butler. People from different sec- tions of the county whoattend court, or on business with the county offi- cers, are certainly entitled to conven- iences in the public building they own. Closets, lavatories and drink- ing fountains are prepared for men, and we have never: heard that even Bro. Moore kicked on that. Many women are compelled to attend the courts, circuit and county, and bard- ly a day passes but what they are in attendance at Probate court. For the convenience of the women, many of them with children, a woman is paid twelve dollars a month to look after a rest room, the same as the janitor looke after the rooms for men. It is not necessary either in praise or blame of the court to con- tinually agitate this question. The rest room for the ladies has become & positive neceesity, and no matter the pereonel of the court or ite polit- {cal complexion in the future, the rest rooms will be maintained, because the women of the county are entitled to it, they demand it and their willis supreme.
