Tb' country in general is Just bo
ginning t<? realize that heretofore a
very necessary official of the judic
iary bun been entirely overlooked, i.
e., Hie Public Defender. The crea
tion of tili? office iuHt spring by the
city of LOM Aurelea aroused little
more at the time titan amused smiles
md condemnation of the putting Into
practice the Idea of some sociological
enthusiast, hut tho results attained
have vindicated thc theories of thc
original supporters of the movement
and also attracted the attenllou of
every person Interested lu the uplift.
Los Angel?-? proved that often tho
indigent criminal was "more sinned
against than sinning," ami that in the
pas! maify persons, guilty of no
greater crime than poverty, had been
railroaded to prison, not through any
individual prejudice on the pint of
Hie Juilne trying Hu- case, but due
to an obstacle system which provid
ed for the appointing of a youthful
and generally Inexperienced lawyer,
just out of school, to defend thc ac
cused. The result was always a fore?
gone conclusion, with thc young lnw
yer matched against ah able and ex
perienced lawyer, hacked hy the ma
chinery of his powerful office and the
prestige of the iStuto.
The Western City han pointed tho
way, New York is following suit. One
by one the dally newspapers and
weekly and monthly magazines are
starting to advocate the proposition,
and before long states mid municip
alities In every section of the country

Idea.
Interviews with rfrosocuting attorn

Officials also recognize the necessity
of providing some other system than
the one now in vogue, and consensus
of opinion ls that the creation of the
ofllec of Public Defender will work
to the benellt of the community In

saver.
Statistics show that nearly every
city of any size appropriates yearly

t'OIi. 'A. B. ANDREWS.
In tho recent death of Col. Alex
ander Boyd Andrews, first vice presi
dent of the Southern Railway, An
derson lost one of tbe staunchest
friends tho city has ever had. If
there was ono outstanding quality in
his character lt was his loyalty to tho
Interests he had at heart, whether lt
was the company which he represent
ed, tho State or town in which ho was
Interested or his frHnds.
In the current issue of Southern
Bulletin News, a publication devoted
to the Southern Raliway and asso
ciated lines and their employees, the
following appreciation of Col. An
drews' appears:
In a time of crinia, no one ever had
to ask where ho would stand. There
was never a doubt that he would firm
ly maintain a position, taken after due
d?lib?r?t lon, or the .thought that t hore
would never be a question of his re
sponsibility.
Col. Andrews had many noble quali
ties as wcM as conspicuous ability
which won for him a high degree ot
success In life, but lt was loyalty to
every trust and to every friend that
bound others to him and which more
than anything elso is responsible for
the wide-spread sor'-ow ,\l his* death.
He recognized that the real worth of
a man cannot always be Judged by
lila success in material things The
quality of his friendship waa in no
way measured by tho rank or station
of the man.
A Confederate soldier, he was al
ways loyal to the men who wore tho
Oray and thcro will be none to mourn
moro sincerely than thoso of hla com
rades, who, less fortunate in the af
fairs of life than ho, havo had their de
clining years made easier through his
generosity and unfailing interest.
The metal of Col. Andrew's: char
acter rang true to every test and
there are today throughout thc South
men ot all degrees in silent grief at
the loss of a loyal friend.
Identifying Battle Victims.
Each of tho armies tn the great wnr
has a regular system which caablea lt
to identify the dead, ways thc Christian
Herald. The Russian soldier wears a
nunbered badge, the Frene ii soldier
has an identification card fi Itched In
to his tunic, the German culdlcr a lit
tle metal disc bearing his number,,the
British voldler has an aluminum disc,
with Identification anv^kr and church
affiliation; tho Japanese soldier has
throe discs, all alike, ono on the nock,
another on his belt and one In his
boot; the Austrian has a gunmetal
badge, locket shape, with Identifica
tion on a tiny parchment leaf within.
The Turk ls the only soldier who ls
so lightly iV?lued that he carries no
'badge, Identification evidently being
regarded aa needleaa.

Libel Suit (?rowing stale
Cansas City Journal.
From the viewpoint of tho general
lublic, whatever Interest originally
ittachcd to the Harnes-Uoosevelt sui'
ms disappeared. For a few days the
colonel was allowed to exploit hliii
elf in his characteristic bombastic
ashton; but even this grew tiresome,
md the trial has degenerated Into a
nero rehashing of old political iiuar
els and campaigns in which both
lames and Roosevelt figured con
spicuously as close friends and asso
l?tes. Perhaps there may be some
ocal interest in the exhuming of the
Matt letters, but atid developments
rom them must necessarily be a
nere detailing of the various agrec
nents and working arrangements
hat involved all of the New York
losses from time to time.
If lt is a crime to be a political
toss, neither side In the IlarneH
toosevelt suit is guiltless. And if it
s a crime to practice the arts of
'practical politics," then tho New
fork courts ure a long time in finding
t out. Whatever may be the outcome
if thc present controversy, it will not
.ebound to the credit of any of the
lartlos involved. The bosses may
maglne that they are uncovering mat
ers of great moment In the dally tes
Imony, but they are not. Anybody
vlth even a superficial experience in
he ways of politics and politicians
mows ail about the deals that are ar
anged, the slates that are formed,
he trades that aro made and the
igreements enterod Into for division
if the spoils. Some of the testimony
iaB wandered far afield. Col. RooBe
relt has boon permitted to review his
ullitary career and dilato upon the
?lstory of the Rough f-'ders in Cuba.
Ile has been given an opportunity also
Lo review some of the more Import
tnt eposodes of his presidential ca
reer and dwell upon the manner in
which he sanctioned the Tennessee
::oul and Iron deal, thereby, as he
daims, "stopping thc panic of 1907."
While most people are fairly familiar
with that episode and with thc man
ier in which it was brought about aud
the effects lt had. the colonel seems
always glad of any opportunity to ex?
[doit again his part In the affair.
It seems strange that In a case
where thc allegations were slmplo and
the charges specific there should bc so
much wandering Into the* byways of
Now York political hiatory and so
micli apparently irrelevant and unim
portant testimony It begins to look
?s if this were merely the general
tiring of political differences between
Dames and Roosevelt, which had their
real beginning In 1812 when Barnes
refused to trn tho New York delega
tion over to Roosevelt at Chicago.
However that may be, the public ls
growing weary of the stuff and will bo
glad when it is all over,, whichever
side wins.
Russin*? Main Problem.
Springfield Republican.
One of thc chlof problems of tho
war just now is Russia's supply of
munitions. As to this, while the Ger
mans aro no doubt perfectly Informed,
from German-Russian sources, close
secrecy has boon kept, but on general
principles we should expect a short
age. The Russian demand must bo
at least as great as that of the allies
In the west, and we know that Eng
land and Franco have hade to mako a
special ofTort, oven with free access
to all tho markets of tho world. Rus
sia has. had no such access, and since
the closing of Archangel six months
ago has had to depend upon tho In
adequate and circuitous Siberian route
from the Pacific. Japan ls known to
have sent heavy guns and ammunition
by that route and other BOpUes have
been sent from Vancouver. But the
needs of a battle line a thousand miles
long arc Immense and this Indirect
route can hardly serve, and while
Russian manufacturing has developed
In recent years. It ls still infantile In
comparison with that of Germany.
It may well be that the urgent need
of Russia for supplies ts responsible
in part both for the precipitate attack
on Uie Dardanelles by the allies' fleet
and for tho recent unsneceaa of Uta
Russian, arma-the . capture of
Prsemysi being an exception due' to
the hunger of lis garrisou. If Russia's
am mu '.'.'.on is waning even the open
ing ot Archangel, which should come
by May IS. wUI be an appreciable re
lief; the opening of the Black aaa ia4
apparently to be a difficult and tedi
ous matter. Just now a broad-goage
railway to the White sea would ' be
worth many anny corps.
The Mame af Varaville,
We haven't anything whatever to do
with the proposed shortening ot the
name of Yorkville to York; but we be
lieve it we were a resident ot the town,
we would w>te tb allow the name to

and honorable history, and there is a
sanctity that Invests the name which
lt would be sacrilege to disturb.
