thing rauat be done to correct the
evil. If ywu, dear reader, do not be

THE PUBLIC DEFENDER
The creation in Los Angeles last
3jrlng of the office of Public Defend
er suddenly awakened the various
cities to the fact that a very rieces
sary official of the judiciary. system
had been discovered.
The idea of paying a man to prose
cute ostensible offenders of the law
and then paying another to defend
them Boomed, at first glance, like pul
ling in two different wuys, but a short
lime after the office had been in com
mission in the Western city it had
demonstrated its worth, with the re
sult that today some cf the most in
fluential newspapers and magazniei
are leading a publicity campaign
which will probably result, and with
in a comparatively short time, it
overy city in the country which hat
a prosecutor having its foll-Thc
Public Defender.
The old way of disposing of crim
inal cases, or rather ot the allegei
criminal, who waa unable to emploj
an attorney to defend him, consistini
of the judge appointing a fledgllnf
lawyer to handle the case-excel len
practice for the lawyer, but rough ot
the accused, who rarely got off witt
loss than the maximum penalty. .
The ancient whoese regarding th?
prisoner who, when the attorney ap
pointed by the court to defend bin
was pointed out, immediately plead
od guilty and threw himself upon th?
mercy of the court, was not entirely
without foundation.
Under the new order this will b<
changed; indigent prisoners will IM
"defended by. counsel as able, dignified
and respectable, and with ?he sam?
prestige ot the State behind then, ai
the prosecutor, and all prisoners
poor or rich, will be placed opon i
true equality before the law.

lina instead of Philadelphia.
THF FILIBUSTER
Thc Washington Time? takes to
task a "certain metropolitan news
paper" ior opposing the "cotton fill
buster' In Congress during the last
few davs of the late session, on the
?round that the same paper strongly
approved another recent filibuster, de
signed to prevent the passage of the
river? and harbors appropriation bill.
In the course of its remarks The
limes declares that a filibuster (8 not,
if Itself, an Improper proceeding, but
is frequently a very effective and an
eminently proper weapon by which
a minority can have Its way. It states
hat the Identity of the ox that is be
ing gored plays an important part In
leterminlng the attitude of any news
paper toward a particular filibuster.
The proceeding known as a fllibust
2r is of ancient and frequent use. Its
impropriety ls rarely assailed in Con
gress, because no member knows Just
when he may find it to his purpose to
make use of il, and he does not care
io he inconsistent without benefit. For
this and other reasons, there is no
particular outcry against the filibus
ter.
But lt does not seem entirely accu
rate to describe lt as a weapon of the
minority. More frequently lt ls an ob
structive effort of one or two indivi
duals, disgruntled or cranky, and lt
enables them to hold up the business
)f the entire Congress until the will of
hose few individ?ala shall be done
OT until they shall be worn out. It it
loubtful if the filibuster is a proper
proceeding. Congress necessarily
works by majorities, and while it ls
:rue that minorities have rights that
he majorities should respect, lt h
.lilma that any good comes of a fill
ouster. Notable exceptions are thc
:'eat of Senator Carmack In defeating
3hip subsidy, during the last few days
Df his service in Congress, and after
his State had failed to re-elect him;
md the success of Mr. Burton a fev
weeks ago In cutting down the rivers
ind harbors appropriation because o
?educed revenues due to the Europeai
war.
Elections are sufficiently frequen
in this country to give minorities thei'
nning without resort to the filibus
er, except when some matter that ii
lot of general Interest ls under con
dderatlon. If the people are dlssat
sfied with the work of the majority
lu- remedy ls a*, hand in the ballot
ind the members of the majority maj
io placed in the minority. But it ir
loubtful if the holding tin of th:
vhole business of Congress by a fill
buster ls wise as a general proposl
tina.
BENEFITS OF BOOSTING

The Intelligencer, are tbe only oner
talking ot boosting as a panacea foi
nany of our Ills. The following taker
from the Atlanta Georgian is to thc
point :
In the mail'reaching The Georgian
office this morning there came a let
ter from Mr. Solomon Schlomberg, of
Joucsboro, Ga.; who apparently ls a
most unhappy man. '
Solomon refuses pointblank to join
our proposed Optimist Club because,
says Solomon, "What's the use?"
He writes:
"I would like to know If my
1 smiling face and optimistic talk
1 would 'stand off my creditors,
nay my rents, clothe my family,
or pay my grocery bill?"
No Solomon, we regret to report

alone liquidate your Just obligation!

' There ls sn Important dtfereuce he

. Considering the noble and illustrl
ou s name you bear, and all that i

While, however, your optimistic tall
and sweet smiling face would no

"Classics"
My John Teni
It ii- will? ainu? i a human affec
tion that tho men and women of Dixie
regard the white ?tapie ot their fields,
lt 1? really a part of them--a product
oxcluaivoly their own- ornament of
their plantations- amt basis of their
fortunes. It Is embalmed in the song
and story of all that land.
In the literature of the people of
the New South one of the distinctly
cherished classics is Henry W.
Grady's famous prose poem on cotton.
It was written in IShL'-jiist as the
South was coming Into a new indus
trial g' ry through Its cotton mills
and ls treasured In every scrapbo^K
?otu h of the Potomac-. Among the ad
mirers of tho editor-orator lt is rank
id with Itobert ingersoll's tr'.oute to
lils brother as a masterpiece of elo
luent description.
Om- day far In advance of Grady's
time in Georgia, when cotton was in
jerlcus crisis, the great Robert
roombs in a burst of convention elo
r|lienc<* .ali!:
"But a few months ago they told
us Cotton was King and that before
als throne the crowned monarchs of
.lie world would crouch and sue for
favor. But now before a frost baa
withered a single leaf in Iiis coronet
he comes Into the hall a shivering
pauper crying, 'Givo mo drink or I
perish ! "
But Grady was thc apostle of de
velopment optimist of the new indus
trial South, and he embalmed the
?reat Southern staple in tills proso
.(e-in which is now a definite part of
us fame. It is of peculiar national
uterest and application in the pres
ent crisis of the South:
