The Non-partisan Judiciary Party is
founded to remove the courts from DO
litical strife. and to restore the conf
dence of the people in the administra-
ton of justice. 1t is not political. A
Democrat, Republican or Progressive
can vote for John r.. Dixon, the Non
Partisan candidate for Justice of the
supreme Court, without impairing his
or her political standing.
The judiciary is the keystone of the
social fabric. Upon it rests the per-
sonal safety of the citizen and the se-
curity of his civil and property rights.
Its efficiency for the purposes for
which it exists depends upon the Judges
NOT only upon their learning and
ability, but upon their courage. in
tegrity and independence.
The most dangerous condition that
exists with us is the feeling of disre-
spect for the courts. Nothing has done
more to cause the people to lose conf
dence IN their institutions, in their laws
and in themselves.
In no party can any candidate receive
the nomination, whatever his virtues.
his learning OF his ability, unless he be
regarded as safe,-that is unless it is
believed that he will in the discharge of
his official duties reflect the views of
those who are responsible for his norni-
nation There can be no greater peril
to a free people than this condition. and
the only remedy is an absolutely indie
pendent non-partisan judiciary. The
Constitution should be amended 80 AZ In
require the election of all Judges to be
held at time other than that for the
election Of other officers, and nomina-
tons by political parties should not be
permitted. We hope to see such m
amendment submitted at the general
election Of 1914.
The independent candidacy of Judge
John r. Dixon for Justice of the Su-
preme Court is step in the right d.

TITANIC HEROES LAUDED
Mgr. Russell Says Their Cour-
age Furnished Example
for the Young.

Mgr. William T. Russell, pastor of st.
Patrick's Catholic Church. last night at
the Belasco Theater. plucked the one bit
of comfort in the sinking Of the steam
ship Titanic, and that was that it left
the name of America without a blemish.
He dwelt with pathetic eloquence upon
the heroic work of Maj. Archibald w.
Butt, Of Col. Aston. of Mr.. Straus and
others prominent in the life of America,
told the story Of Father Byles and his
fellow-priest. who went to comfort the
friendless men and women in the steer
age and prayed with them until the ves-
sci disappeared from the face of the sea.
and he drew the lesson that whatever
may have been the loss in other ways
America was the gamer in the courage
and manliness of its men and women.
great and humble, in the hour Of dead
hest peril. These men, he said, accom-
plished more for their country than they
ever could have done had they lived to
win honor and fame in industrial or
military accomplishments. America need
ed just such an example for her young
manhood, and the men and women who
died to furnish it left a noble heritage.
Mgr. Russell was the chief speaker at
the last of the benefit performances for
the national Titanic memorial iund. His
address was supplemented with a con-
cert by the United States Marine Ba nd
and the exhibition OF a special series OF
pictures.

EXTRA WORK AIDS CUPID.
Rockville Clerk Enabled to Grant
Washingtonians q Marriage License.

1t was fortunate for Ivy verna Cross
and Joseph Clarence Bacon of this city
that the clerk at Rockville, Md, was
delayed by extra work at his office
Saturday. evening. and that he was on
hand when they arrived there about
1880 o'clock in search for a marriage
license
Not knowing that the court had
ruled that no marriage licenses should
be issued after hours, the young cou-
pie delayed their trip to the Montgom-
cry county seat until late Saturday
evening. Ordinarily they would have
found the courthouse dark at that
time and would have been required to
wait until Monday morning before
having a marriage license issued to
them. The clerk took pity on them.
however, and ruled that inasmuch as
he was still in his Office he did not
believe he would be doing wrong In
issuing the necessary paper.
Accompanied by his BRIDE be, Ba
con. who gave his age as twenty-eig ht
years. then made his way to the home

clergyman. who performed the cere-
mony. The bride gave her age as

gave 1915 10th street northwest as their

Shipments of soft coal from GEORGETOWN

goes were used to load two big barges
that are taking coal to New England
points. Six canal boats, each having
aboard over a hundred tons of Cumber-
land coal, are sent from this city each
week to Indian Head. This amount of
coal is not used there weekly but the
surplus goes to make up the large guam

MATE JONES EXONERATED.
Not Responsible for Maydower's
Peril With President Aboard,

]. r. Jones. second mate of the Norfolk
and Washington line steamer Northland.
has been exonerated from the charges of
unskillfull handling of the steamer. as
charged by Commander Powers Syming-
ton of the United States naval yacht
Mayfiower. 1t was alleged that early
on the morning of July 8. while the Pres
ident was aboard the Mayfower. on his
way to Norfolk, the yacht was nearly
run down by the Northland. Mr. Jones
being in charge of the pilot house of the
steamer al the time.
In their decision. Capt. White and Capt.
Wright, the local inspectors say: I'VE
are Of unanimous opinion that the evil
dence in general against j. r. Jones, sec
Ond officer of the Northland. is not suffi-
cient to warrant our suspending or re-
vOking his license, and therefore dismiss
the charges against him
The evidence showed that Mr.. Jones,
who was on watch. carried out the rules
of the road even to stopping and backing
his vessel in the emergency which he con-
fronted. The Mayfiower was not struck
and as the Northland intended to pass 1t
would have been safe but for confusion
of signals
The investigation of the charges was
made in the custom house at Georgetown
about a week after the alleged near-acci-
dent.
