He has wit, eloquence, logic, intel
lect, and, more, he has that divine
spark called g~enius-the power that
springs from a mastery mind, the
courage of a conscious greatness. His
lecture sparkles with a ntane
n original wit that captiyates the
audience. He is unquestionably one
of the most scholarly and intellectual
lecturers one can hear. His lectures
contain humor, satire, ridicule and
pathos, all delivered with the mastery
touch of the finished orator.
To be good anywhere a lecture must
be good everywhere. This aptly fits
Mr.. Dixon's lecture.
The preacher speaks of heaven, not
because the pews are filed with an
gels. he talks on hell, not because they
are filled with devils. He knows that
In all men are the angel and devil
possibilities. Mr.. Dixon realizes this
in his lectures and that the value of
a lecture to any community lies largly
In Its challenge to fixed custom and es-
tablished modes Of thought. The mo-
ment a people becomes content with
it's achievement 1t begins to lose the
power of action. The moment it ceases
to create it begins to decay. To move
only along the grooves Of familiar
thought is to invite brain paralysis.
The lecturer must be the aggressor
and call men to give a reason for the
convictions that they hold or abandon
them for better. Mr.. Dixon is of that
type. He is radically conservative and
conservatiyely radical.
Some lectures come within an hour or
two of Fourth of July-hurrah! Next

Mr.. Dixon is a sower of thought seeds
that have a right to terminate immedi-

are, who yet believes in challenging
them to give account of themselves.
He is an ardent patriot and an eloquent
lecturer, a great combination. One may
not agree with him, but must respect
his judgment.

COURT TO TRY DAMAGE
SUITS ON THEIR MERITS
Judge Thornton overrules Demurrers
Filed by Old Dominion Rail
way Company.

Judge ]. B. T. Thornton. sitting in the
handed down his decision overruling all
demurrers interposed by the Washing
ton and Old Dominion Railway Company
in the cases of Robert S. Billups, Err
nest NJ. Trail and Walter w. Burns (two
/, cases) against that company. The
plaintiffs are represented by Attorneys
Frank l.. Ball and Amos c. Crounse. and
the company by Attorneys C. E. Nicol
and w. ]. Lambert.
These demurrers involved primarily
the right of the railway company to
raise its fares before the expiration of
outstanding Communication contracts. and
to eject passengers upon their refusal
to pay fare in excess of that provided
for by their tickets. In overruling the
demurrers Judge Thornton held that a
contractural relation thus established
was binding upon the railway company
notwithstanding that new and higher
! rate might be put into effect by the In
terstate commerce commission. 1t
! was recalled at the hearing. however.
| that this new rate was duly contested
! before the interstate commerce COM
mission and that its reasonableness was
yet to be passed upon by tbat body.
| The plaintiffs in these Cases brought
suits in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia for damages ranging
from $1,000 to $4,000. growing out Of
their forcible election from defendants
cars. but voluntarily dismissed these
suits because of the crowded condition
of the dockets Of the District courts and
filed them in Virginia. where a speedier
trial could be had. The cases have now
been set for hearing on their merits
| before Judge Thornton at the October
i term of court in Alexandria county.

The German Soldier

I'd hate to be German, and
fight for Kaiser Bill, unable to
determine why I went forth to
kill. The Frenchman and the
Briton have causes fine and high,
and when a foe they've smitten
they know the reason why. The
Russian and the Roman, the Bel
gian and the Serb. shoot up the
armored foeman autocracy to
curb. For freedom men are
fighting on Europe's blood
drenched lands; the German, at
this writing, for ancient error
stands. The kaiser says. Go.
slaughter, go, butcher, till You
die, make mems blood run like
water, and do not ask me why.
Go, vassals, serfs, and visit my
wrath on all my foes; | am the
great What-is-it, and what l tell
you goes. Don't ask me ques-
tons silly, don't prate of wrong
or right I'm the anointed Willie,
who bids you go and fight. l am
the sun in heaven, / am the moon
and stars; to me alone is given
the heart and front of Mars. And
when bid you wallow in blood
up to your ears, my dictum you
must follow! Hoch, Deutschland
und zwei biers!" And so, like
driven cattle, the Germans go
to war, and. wonder, as they bat
tie, what they are bleeding for.
