Despite the charming name Pacific, 1t

Pacific is the meeting ground pot of

might be decided whether Asiatics or
Europeans shall guide the destinies Of
this planet.
IN the Malay states they would see

While I would feel more hopeful Of
getting justice for workers from a
Socialist judge than from a Repub-
lican, a Democrat or a Progressive
Judge, still l would prefer judge
who owed no allegiance to any party,
class or special interest-just a judge,
or a just judge-One who couldn't
tell the difference between friend or
foe or party tags and labels.
But it wouldn't help any to try to
ascertain the difference between
judges Stewart and Windes. / as
sumo that both are human beings;
that both wear pants and socks, eat,
sleep and love and are loved. One may
wear a different colored necktie from
the other; one may be older and have
bigger feet than the OtheT-but that
cuts no figure. It all depends upon
how their minds work, what their
ideals are and how much courage
they have.
1 presume judges are like so many
workingmen who salaam to the boss
because they want to hang onto their
jobs. And with politics as they are
now, the better the judge the more
danger he is in Of losing his job.
If we ever achieve genuine de-
.mocracy in this alleged republic, then
the juster a Judge is the harder it
will be for the hosts of privilege to
get his goat or his job.
It may help some for the people
to forget their politics and defeat, on
election day every judge whose ideas
of law and justice they don't like.

uuSJTlal disturbances, the pOuJlcdl
bosses may make it difficult for them
to be renOminated, and the news
paper bosses may defeat them for re-
election if they are nominated.
The truth is judges are no differ
ent from the rest Of US. They are
slaves. Not. one of them is free. A
strong judge knows he can't stay on
the bench and be free. That's why
some of them resign.
Judges know that on a showdown
newspapers that are slaves Of adveT-
tisers or Big Business will oppose the
election of judges, that don't conduct
themselves on the bench as those in
terests> think they ought to.
Under our system of political nom
nations and elections, the moment a
judge takes his seat on the bench he
must prepare for denomination and
reelection. Unless he is an unusual
ly strong character and not many of
them are unusually strong charac-
ters-he will be careful not to offend
the powers that make and unmake
judges. He wants to save his job.
That will be so as long as we have
government by newspaper controlled
politicians.
If l had my way about it 1 would
have judges elected for an indefinite
term, subject to recall by the people.
That would meanthat a judge would
stay on the bench during good be-
havibT- and the people would be the
judges as to whether his behavior
was good or bad.
I would then favor recalling a
judge who didn't have brains enough
to interpret the law with an inteIli-
gent understanding Of what public
opinion wants the law to be.
But even before we can have it
that way and get what the people
want, we must get rid of newspaper
It's too easy now for

MARTIAL LAW CONDEMNED
Senate Pfobers Flay officials Of
West Virginia.

Senator Borah in Washington made
public the report of the subcom-
mittee bearing on the reign of martial
law in the Cabin and Paint Creek coal
mine regions of West Virginia from
September, 1912, to June, 1913. A
senate committee of investigation of
which Senator Borah was a member
went into West Virginia and conduct
ed hearings.
The authorities are severely ar
raigned in the report, which is given
out as Statement of fact" by the
senator, although the full committee
has not indorsed IT, The martial law
section of the report was put in charge
of Borah
Senator Borah's statement holds that
the military authorities, acting under
the direction of the governor, super
seded all constitutional courts in West
Virginia imposed sentences not au.
thorized by any standing laws and
took over all the duties of the civil
courts of the district, and that at the
time such martial law was being en-
forced there was no evidence that
the civil courts bad been intimidated
or that they would have failed to per.
form their duties faithfully.

LEAVE;
0jINACA SAFE
Fail to Take Town After Week
OF Fighting

Maria, Tex, Jan. 6.-Major Mac
Nance, commanding the United States
army at Presidio, wires that the rebels
have divided into three sections and
are hurrying their army from Ojinaga.
No reason is given.
Having failed after a weeks assault
to take the town, they are probably
withdrawing for rest, reinforcements
and more food and to await the
coming of Pancho Villa, their com
mander.
The disappearance of the rebels
from Ojinaga followed the hardest
fighting of the weeks siege. Toward
the last the rebels made tremendous
assaults upon the federal strength in
supreme effort to drive them out
of their Notifications, using artillery,
cavalry and infantry with terrible eff
feet, but without dislodging the enemy.
General lnez Salazar of the federal
command made charge against the
rebels when he discovered an opening
in their ranks and nearly demoralized
them by getting between the two
rebel wings. He captured several
prisoners and executed them. This re-
suited in a withdrawal of the rebels
and the assault was not renewed al
though the sharpshooters of the two
armies continued their exchange Of
shots.
The rebel casualties have been
heavier than those of the federals in
the weeks fighting, but the federals
have lost more officers than the rebels.
So far as known the total killed and
wounded will not be over 600. Some
estimates place them higher, but this
is believed to he conservative,

combers Which, Together With
Record Tide, Does Great Damage.
New York, Jan. 6.-The tank steam
sr in trouble off Sandy Hook was the
Oklahoma and twenty-five of her crew
perished. Eight were saved. This
was the substance of wireless mes
sages received here.
Although several vessels were stand
ing by the distressed tank liner, the
Hamburg American line freighter Ba-
varia, bound from Philadelphia to Bos-
ton. was the only one able to render
assistance
The Oklahoma was owned by the
Gulf Refining company, was 2,795 tons
net burden and 419 feet long. She
left here saturday for Port Arthur,
! Texas.
In announcing the saving of part OF
the Oklahoma's crew the Bavaria
added that the vessel had not sunk
entirely, but was partly submerged
ana urlltlhS nelpleSSly.
Among those who sailed on the
Oklahoma and who are believed to be
lost is Captain Loring A. Gates Of
Boston, former commander of the
steamship Ligonier. Captain Gates
was aboard as a passenger on his way
! to take command of another vessel.
The Oklahoma was valued at 100000.
John Kennedy, superintendent Of
the marine department of the Gulf
Refining company, said he could not
conceive how the ship could have gone
down in bad weather. She was
equipped perfectly and in good condl-
tion, he said when she left.
Five lives are known to have been
lost and more than S1,O00,0OO in dam
age done by the. storm which ragged
from Portland, Me-, to Norfolk, Va.
The New Jersey coast suffered the
greatest damage, but with the shift
ing Of the wind from northeast to due
north the high water which threat
ened to wSsh away many houses on
the New jersey coast partially sub
sided. At almost every point the rain
changed to snow.
Storm ridden and dismantled Sea
Bright struggled for its very existence
against the Atlantic.
All that fringe of fine summer cot
tages on the oceans edge was in peril
of destruction. If the ocean had had
its way the town wonld have gone
back to the fishing hamlet from which
it sprang. A half dozen of the smaller
houses were swept away while the
hotels were undermined.
Furious pounding by the combers
destroyed FIVE cottages in Longport,
where the damage is estimated at
100000.
The total loss on the island is
placed at about 100000 with At
lantic City and Ventnor City sustain
ing the least damage.

Marriage Made Easy.

Gretna Green, Scotland, became IA
nous for its celebration of irregular
marriages. For many years the aver
age number was FIVE hundred. The
ceremony consisted only of an admis-
sion, before witnesses, by the couple
that they were husband and wife, this
being sufficient to constitute a valid
marriage. After this the officiating
functionary (for many years a black
smith, together with two witnesses,
signed the marriage certificate.
