PHIVATK AID OR PUBLIC Jl'HTIC'K
In thc diKcusHion now going on in
New York about the proposition to
establish a public defender to hnndlo
the caaes of person accused of crime
who hav?? not menari to engage private
counsel, til?; existence of an efficient
Logul Aid society lias been urged as
u reason why there ls no need for a
salaried public defender.
This will strike many persons as be
ing ?tuite us absurd in Its reasoning
as to suy that because there is a
society for tho prevention of cruelty
to children, there is no need for a
public inspector to enforce the child
labor laws."
Or,/'bccauBe wc have hospitals sup
ported by private charity, we have no
need or a public health and dispen
sary service."
No question of criticism of the Legal
Aid societies o? tho country is in
volved. They were established by peo
ple who saw a aneed for those unable
to pay legal fees. They have been a
very great force for good, ?ad will
undoubtedly continue to bo ?JO. More
support from the people iii general Is
what they ought to have, not less.
Hut their chief value has been, and
should continue tu be, in settling cases
out of court. Domestic differences aro
often settled by thcBo societies, In
heritance troubles which threaten to
spit families aro straightened out with
out suits, ema jolghborhood difficul
ties aro adjusted. Until tho state gets
ready to take over their machinery
nn?l pay for lt. as it has in many cases
for medical aid of tho same kind, tho
Legal Aid societies must continue to
be supportod by private charity. That
a 'large part of this support comes
from the legal profession does great
honor to it, as the self-sacrifice and
generosity of doctors does to theirs.
Meantime, for tho presentation of
cases in court by people unable to af
ford lawyer-., of their own, the public
defender ls needed. He balances the
prosecuting attorney. He helps to
mako the presumption that a man ls
"Innocent until proven guilty" a real
ity Instead ot a farce.

SUN SPOT WAK THEOBY.
Maybe Old Sol is responsible for the
war. From Paris comes a theory to
that cGect, worked out by Abbe Mo
reaux ot the Borges observatory.
"Every 30 cr 40 years," he explains,
"a foyer seems to break out In the
depth of the sun's atmosphere. Tko
extreme heat evaporates our ocoans
more rapidly than usual, resulting in
redoubled rains .and floods In every
direction. Climates seem to be revolu
tionised for a time. This activity is
accompanied by violent-and leng-con
tln. sd electrical di turbanccs. It ts
ill the periodic effect of solar action,
t?vealed lo tu la the form ot sun
spots."* The result ot these disturb
ances, he says, ia tor irritate tho nerv
ous System lu susceptible persons,
causing excessive Irritability and giv
ing rise to .bickering and quarrels.
Such results are noticeable in fami
lies, communities and nations.
The Franco-Prussian war, he re
minds us, followed a period of violent
solar activity lasting for three juara.
The present war waa preceded by a
long continued electrical convulsion
ot extreme violence. He accounts
similarly for ?bo Napoleonic wara and
other great struggles. Man used to
alaine.these international convulsions

Reasonable Doubt. I
(Charlotta Observer.)
If ever a man wan between two lires,
Governor Slaton of Georgia occupied
Uiai unenviable position. To coin
)??"!<? Frank's sentence required con
biueruuie courage of a kind; to have
allowed bim to gu to bis death would
have required equally as much. To
pursue one course meant to incur bit
ter criticism among his home people
whso good will he cherishes and among
whom his life will bo spent. It may
mean the Incurring of ill will that will
sound tho knell ot any hopes of fu
ture political preferrmcnt. To have
allowed Frank to die while a nation
wide sentiment wus demanding that be
be allowed thc benelit of the reason
able doubt that existed as to Iiis gui:t
woub! have been to jeopardize the
Georgia reputation for Justice, for in
case later evidence should have re
vealed Frank's innocence, thc case
would have been a standing reproach.
Stronger even than this consideration,
however, in thu ilnul decision the fud
looomed biggest in tho governor's con
sciousness much have been bis indi
vidual responsibility. He preferred
to bpend thc remainder of bis days
among a people acutely dissatisfied
than to hiive his slumber disturbed
by specters of a man who might huve
been innocent. Tim motive that
spurred him to thc commutation was
the annie that impels thu twelfth ju
ryman to voto "Not Guilty" in an un
certain case. lils tusk was made more
difficult by the fact that his action
might have a tendency lu encourage
mob law. So often hus thc leniency of
the courts been urruigned and offered
aa excuso for mob violence that this
argument lu tho present enso had pe
culiar force. In spite of this bow
over, the governor decided that thu
sentence to life imprisonment offered
a compromiso on a reasonable basis.
It ia well to bear in mind that al
though tho Frank case wan reviewed
by all tlie superior tribunals, including
the supreme court of the United States,
lt waa never reviewed upon ita merits,
but only as to technicalities. Thc
real question at ISBUC, whether the
Jurymen wore swayeu by the mob
spirit, could not be reviewed or passed
upon-so held a majority of thc su
premo court. Behind that portentous,
vordlct of "Guilty" uttered by twelves
"good and honest men" tho courts
could not penntiAttf, " At Ttrtw pnfn*
our I -gal system' Is waterproof and
holeproof, with tis Bingle exception of

It may be that I rank ought to have
died. Only he aa 1 Jim Conloy know

on Frank Case
fairnea*. The action of Governor Sla
tou waa, in the circumstances, not only
proper but almost Inevitable. Frank
may li?; guilty <.f tho crime of which he
was < on Weted, but thc only jury that
ever Pi ai 0<i upon the question was
not in a state of mind to render an im
par!;.il verdict upon tho case, and thc
doubt that has been raised of thc And
ing is sufficient to shake the Judgment
of reasonable minds. In strict legal
aspe? ts the trlul was correct, as all thc
courts to which thc IsBue has been aub
|mitt?il baye ruled, but there Is Bom'o
thliiK more tli.ni that to bo satisfied
upon such "n issue as thc taking of a
mun s lifo, und there was much to be
desired in the circumstances in which
thc trial was plield. Tho wave of pas
sion that swept over Atlanta and was
BUBtcmaUcally cultivated by sonto of
lt he newspapers of that city made lt al
most impossible for thc jury to give
unprejudiced consideration to thc case.
Thc evidence was wholly circumstan
tial, save for the testimony of a negro
who is himself under grave suspicion
f having been the author of thc crime,
and it has not been weighed with that
peu-iuindedn?sb that should be given
|to such a question. Thousands of peo
ple who have become deeply interested
jin the caa? as an abstract proposition
f justice, without any acquaintance
with or concern for thc individual him
self, will foel relief that thc possibility,
however remote, that an innocent man
had been put to death, has been pre
vented by the action of the governor
of Georgia.
