An Independent Judiciary.

An independent Judiciary was the
dream of the fathers. For several de-
cades it appeared that politics made
the judge. and the people feared that
Justice, besides being blind, might
ultimately be bound and gagged by
party policy and politicians. But the
American citizen may be trusted to
think and when he thinks he finds a
remedy quickly for threatening evil.
Instance the trend toward a non
partisan judiciary throughout the ma
ton. In many states the names of
candidates for iudgeships are placed
upon the ballot without party designa-
tion, thus eliminating truck. ng and
trickery in political conventions in
those states which do not have the
direct primary law. AS the people de
mand non-political judiciary they are
seizing upon the only method gharan-
teeing it-absolute separation Of the
courts and political parties. Within a
few years it will seem strange, indeed,
to read the political news OF today,
which tells us that "John Jones has
always been a prominent Democrat,
Cor Republican,, faithful to the par
tvs nominees, and, therefore, should
be elected Judge OF the plstflct
Court. -
Political platforms no longer out
weigh Blackstone. Whether a man
will be just judge, an honest judge,
capable judge, are the questions of
today. Nevada has the opportunity
of taking her place beside those states
that have adopted the nonpartisan
judiciary, and the people of this state
should see that the laws are so amend
ed that the judiciary shall be abso-
lutely out of politics. Nevada un-
doubtedly will show an empnatic de-
sire for non.partisan judiciary by
electiug the Hooorable George A.
Bartlett Justice Of the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Bartlett is an Independent candi-
ate. lie has the integrity, the abili-
tv and the temperament OF the ideal
iudge-Reno Gazette.

NEW MAN At
REPUBLICAN HELM

Col H. B. Maxson, Republican Ma
tional committeeman for Nevada, left
Reno yesterday morning, ostensibly
for San Francisco. His departure, and
the further fact that he delegated Al
Kaarge to attend to the duties of the
position during his absence, has given
rise to the rumors that he will go to
Panama before returning.
1t is stated that last summer Col.
Maxson was rendered an important en-
gineering position in connection with
the Panama canal, and that he has
probably concluded to accept at
once.
In any event, it is stated, the du-
ties of the Office of National commit
teeman have been left in good hands.

private ear, was set out at Cosgrave
yesterday morning and took supervis-
ion of the work of clearing the wreck.

two loaded with rails were so badly
damaged that the contents We're trans
ferred to other cars. The remaining
eight ears will be placed back on the
track.
Thirteen cars Of stock attached to
the train, en- route from Idaho to the
Western Meat company, San Francis

brought back to Winnemucca. They
were taken out last evening at $50.

matter Of conjecture, and il Is aer' T.

INCIDENTS OF
MASSEY CAMP AICN

When Senator w A. Massey went
out to meet the citizens of Goldfeld,
a number of his friends wanted him to
go into the workings of the Goldfield
Consolidated, where there are hun
dreds of miners at work digging out
gold that goes to add to the pros
perity of Nevada. Senator Massey
stated that he was anxious to meet
all the miners and shake them by the
hand and that he intended to try and
see them all or address them all before
leaving the city, but would not go
down in the mines.
al know how it is said Senator
Massey 81 used to work in the
mines myself. When young man /
mines of Tuscarora. / helped shovel
away the muck, j hammered drill
and toiled there with my fellow men
taking out treasures that added to
the wealth of Nevada and of all the
world. | was tired at the end of a
days shift and | did not feel like
talking politics or meeting strangers.
| wanted to get home to change my
working clothes and to have some rest.
That is what the miners of Goldfield
would like to do and they do not want
to be bothered with politics. 1T is
right that they should not be bother
ed and | for one do not intend to take
up the time of man who has been
toiling in the depths all day. I Will
see them later
Senator Massey was standing in the
Goldfeld hotel Just before his meet
ing A miner entered and, walking up
to Judge Massey clasped his hand.
Senator Massey smiled all over, slap
ped him on the back, saying heartily,
Boy how are you, / am glad to see
you. -
'"T am sick, Senator. | want to hear
YOU speak tonight and if possible |
will do so, but | may not be able to
ro. For that reason | came to the ho-
tel to see you and tell you that | am
with YOU. You are the kind of a man
we want in the Senate from this
state, - replied the miner. g You
know the needs of this state and |
want to assure you that I will not only
vote for YOU but that | am going to
work for you.'
Senator Massey talked for a long
time to this friend not of politics but
of his family and friends. They had
known one another years ago and that
friendship had ripened into one that
is always firm. "Thus it is with SEN
ator Massey wherever he goes, said
the miner.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE.

When Buffalo Bill appeared nj

of the performance which caused most
comment was the carrying Of IA votes

flags between which was stretched n
white banner 20 feet long on which
were the words, Votes for Women"
Colonel Cody, when interviewed, said.
woman suffrage Is an unqualified
success IN Wyoming and the votes Of
the women Of the state constitute the
more intelligent half Of the total vote
there. Equal suffrage has also i'm
proved the moral tone Of the state
generally. Before the women obtained
the right to vote, some 40 years ago,
there was all kinds of rowdyism at
the polls, but there has been none
since. To-day politics Is clean in
