IN NEED Of MORE JUDGES
AND AMPLE COURTHOUSE
Suggestions Made by Bar Associa-
ton Following Address by Chief
Justice Covington.

The dignity and Importance of the
judicial branch of the government was
the theme of brief address by Chief
Justice Covington of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia at a
meeting of the Bar Association held at
City Hall late yesterday afternoon.
The chief justice declared the judi
ciary, in which he embraced not only
the judges on the bench but the law
more important. than the executive or
legislative branch of government.
The respect of the people for the pow
er of government and their regard for
its dignity are largely dependent. sug-
gested the Chief Justice, upon their OPP
portunity to observe its operations.
Comparatively few of the people see the
President, he pointed out and not a
great many have the chance to attend
the sessions Of Congress and observe
the creative processes of legislation.
but a very large number come into
daily contact with the machinery OF the
law in its operations through judges
and lawyers. :
Symbol Of Power.
To the vast majority. he claimed. the
judicial system was most symbolic of
reason, he said, there devolved on
judges and lawyers collectively a duty
to see that the law was so expounded
and so enforced. feariessly and without
favor, as to win and hold the respect
Of the popuiace.
In order that this desired effect
might be obtained the chief Justice
suggested that at the nations capital
there should be a monument to the
judicial power in the shape Of COM
modious courthouse, properly equipped.
Suggests Additional Judges.
He also suggested that Congress
should be asked to allow two addi-
tional justices for the court in order
that the crowded condition of the
dockets of the court might be dis
PEELED and time and opportunity af-
forded for an orderly, careful and
painstaking trial of each controversy
between citizens.
The bar association unanimously
adopted a report of one of it's commit
tees, embodying suggestion for addi-
tional judges, and instructed it's legis-
lative committee to urge the matter on
Congress. The association also in
dorsed the idea of the chief justice that
the present courthouse is Inadequate
for the present or future needs of the
courts.

1--WE are getting away from the no.
ton that religion is matter of wor-
ship only, that it is matter of dress
ing up and going to church on Sunday,
and are coming more and more to real
ize that it is to do the honest thing, to
live Clearly, and to be of some service
to others, not on one day of the week,
but on all seven.
"All the latter-day movements for the
betterment of mankind are founded on
the faith Of our fathers: The statutes
for the amelioration of the working
hours of women, the statutes requiring
the humane treatment of animals, and
hundreds of others. are founded on the
simple faith as preached by Jesus
Christ Religion Is nothing more than
the brotherhood of man as embodied in
the teachings of Christ"
