JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
AN IMPORTANT POSITION.
One Of Great Responsibility Wrong
Man Can Harm, Inflict Trouble
And Cause Injustice.

One of the most important functions
Of the chief executive of the State lies
in the appointive power which he pos
sesses. For the offices of larger i'm
pOrtance and remuneration, he is gen
orally able to select men of whom he
has reasonable personal knowledge.
though, in many cases, no doubt, he
also relies in a large measure upon the
advice of those in whom he has con
fidence. In order TO fill the many To-
cal positions. ordinarily considered OF
secondary Importance, though meaning
much TO the people of the community
in which the duties of the Office are TO
be performed, the Governor must. TO a
large degree, be governed by the ad-
vice of the people of that section. and
particularly by the Senator who repre-
ssents the county.
One of the most important class OF
Offices TO be filled is that of justices OF
the peace and relative officials, such as
police justices. Frequently, no great
care is taken in the selection of these
men, and yet there is no place in which
a man can do more harm, cause more
trouble or inflict more injustice within
a limited circle,
While the jurisdiction of a justice OF
the peace does not extend over large
amount of property or money, he is
concerned with the interests of per-
sons to whom these things mean
great deal and who. ordinarily. have
neither the means or the knowledge to
take their cause to a higher tribunal
More serious than these questions of
money and property are those of lib
erty itself
The functions of these officials are
such that they can deprive any person
OF their freedom if they want to. and
such power in the hands of an ire
sponsible or incapable person consti-
tutes menace TO the whole commu-
nifty. Advertiser Republican.
To all OF which The Capital says
Yea and Amen" and for which this
paper has been putting up fight for
several weeks.

good deal OF oratory. it was finally
postponed to be taken up as the special

Lloyd Wilkinson led the fight to

Amendment to the law governing
standard weights and measures is pro
vided in bill introduced in the House
of Delegates this morning by Chair
man Linthicum. of the Anne Arundel
delegation. The bill would do away
with the present three-bushel barrel
for measuring peas and beans in the
husk, and return to the former two
and-a-half bushel size.
II is claimed that this would work
to the advantage of the truckers, who
now have TO pay their pickers more for
a barrel than formerly and at the
same time have to furnish TO the com
mission merchant more peas.

GOVERNOR RECEIVES
WITH MRS. HARRINGTON
Great Crowd ThrOngs Executive
Mansion at First Official Re-
ception
OF NEW STATE EXECUTIVE.
Guests So Numerous That Breathing
Space Was al Premium-Members
OF General Assembly Turn
Out in Large Numbers.

OF the one thousand invitations 10
the first official reception given bv
Governor Emerson c. Harrington and
Mrs. Harrington last evening at The
Executive Mansion, at least nine hun
dred and ninety-nine were accepted
judging from the mass of humanity
that thronged the rooms Of the NGov-
eminent House from $50 TO midnight
Indeed the crowd was so great az
intervals that breathing space was al
a premium. Il is affirmed by the old
est inhabitant present that never
before have so many people been
massed in the home OF the States
Chief Executive. And. the oldest in
habitant was probably there too sew
eral Of him" and her"
Apart from the discomfort Of the
crowd. the reception was a most de
lghtful affair Thoroughly informal ana
home-like, nothing stilted or too con
ventionai. The crowd entered by an
improYised canopied walk to a stair
way at the rear OF the Mansion. or
Bladen street. opposite the Court Of
Appeals Building After removin
wraps. the guests descended by the
main stairway 20 the foyer. thence to
the blue room. where Governor and
Mrs. Harrington received.
Sheriff John r. Sullivan announced
the names Of the guests to Adjutant
General Macklin who. in turn, an
nounced them to the Governor and his
wife. Mrs. Harrington wore a modish
ssF
seed pearls. The corsage was en-
broidered in pearl trimming. She car
ried a dainty Victorian bouquet of tiny
pink rose buds and lilies of the valley
In theState parlor an orchestra

nished music for dancing, bur dane
ing was an impossibility unless it

the piano so great was the crowd in
the room.
Large palms We're used in docorat-
ing the rooms, and narcissus. ion
quils, pink roses and hyacinths gave
a touch of spring to the floral decor
atoms at the Mansion.
A buffet supper was served. aud ca
terers in the dining room were kept
busy all evening.
So crowded were The parlors and
halls during the hours OF the recep-
ton. that it was suggested that in the
future there win have TO be two re-
ceptions to take the place of one
one to the Senators and one to the
House Of Delegates.
It is suggested with good reason that
receptions in the future be held in The
State House, as they were before the
present Executive Mansion was built
Virtually every member of the Leg
islature attended. and among the
guests were many naval officers, their
wives and daughters besides the local
contingent It is estimated that Gov
ernOr mad Mrs Harrington must have
shaken hands with one thousand and
one persons, for it was the greatest
crowd that ever attended a Maryland
gubernatorial reception

MORE SUBMARINES
Admiral Grant Declares They
Could be Built in Six Months.
TAILS HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Would Provide Underwater Craft
Ahead Of Battle Cruisers,and
Dreaduaughts, Even.

Rear Admiral Grant. commanding
the American submarine tiotilla. told
the House naval committee yesterday
that the safest defensive policy for the
nation was TO build first a great mum
Der of submarines. then scout oruis-
ers. battle cruisers next and dread
naughts afterward
If only four capital ships were au-
thorized this year. Admiral Grant said
all should be battle cruisers. Battle
cruisers. scouting craft and subma-
rines should be added Immediately 10
the feet, he said, to secure adequate
coast protection
The Admiral reiterated thar The
country should have 1s8 submarines
or III more than are now build
ing. and was asked how much time
he would allow for their completion.
Twelve MONTHS he replied They
could be built in six months
Admiral Grant said it would take
,552 enlisted men. S33 warrant OFF,
GERS and 332 commissioned officers TO
man such a submarine fleet. and that
the men must be supplied Immediately
il the boats were all Go be AUTHORIZED
at ono and 10 De completed within
year
Taking all facilities i'm the United
States, ] think 'forty-eigbt boats could
be constructed in the next twelve
months" said Admiral Grant, "but I do
not believe we could get the officers
I'm time Of war. however. naval militia
and retired officers could relieve ac-
tive officers for duty.
Admiral Grant told the committee
that he estimates 1876 submarines as
the necessary number for proper de-
Tense. These he would divide into thir-
ty divisions of six each. the extra ship
being always in readiness to take the
place of others laid up for overhaul or
for repair
Admiral Grant favored the eight
hundred-ton type of submarine. and
said that the old style three-hundred-
ifty-ton submarine is good enough for
Canal Zone purposes but has not the
proper cruising ability.
