A Public Defender.

Some member Of the Douglas dele
cation to the coming Legislature has
an opportunity to sponsor a reform in
the method Of defending INDECENT pris-
oners that will save our taxpayers a
substantial sum each year.
The Bee has already called attention
to the fact that the existing system Of
appointing special attorneys to defend
prisoners accused Of crime, who make
affidavit of lack of means to hire a
lawyer for themselves, is proving
merely a practice school for young
lawyers counting favor of the district
judges, while the aggregate bills for
their services figure up between $500
and $4,000 a year. which would hire
a competent public defender at a fair
salary and leave the county treasury
from $500 to $4,000 to the good.
As the law now stands the judges
of the district court have It quite
within their power to provide this
solution of the problem, but they seem
10 ne lndisposed to do SO, preferTing
rather to regard their right to appoint
defending attorneys as a part Of their
judicial patronage to be scattered
around where It will do them individ-
ually the most good. II the judges
insist upon being so wasteful with the
taxpayers money perhaps the legisla-
ture can be persuaded to come to our
relief by creating the position of pub
lie defender corresponding to that OF
public prosecutor with salary equal
to what is paid a deputy county attor-
ney, the place to be filled either by
the judges, the county attorney or the
county board. If this law is framed
so as to apply only to counties in the
population class with Douglas it
should encounter no serious opposition
in the legislature.

Francisco /. Madero. who was over
whelmingly defeated for president Of
Mexico and. during the campaign, i'm
prisoned by President Diaz, is the re-
puted leader Of the anti-American
rioters I'm Mexico This fact, when all
the circumstances are appreciated.
ought to sllay any feeling of abprehen-
sion as TO the friendly relations exist
ing between the governments Of the
two republics. Though the successor
to General Bernardo Reyes, leader Of
the anti-American party I'm 1908,
Madero, in all probability, is not try
ing to annoy the government at Wash
ington half as much as he is seeking
to harass President Diaz by plunging
him into trouble with the United
States. II the disappointed rival Of
the Mexican executive could precipi-
tate such a condition IL would no
doubt crafty him far more than would
any injury he could infict on the
Americans.
The persistency with which these
demonstrations have been carried on
and the seriousness with which they
are being regarded by the Mexican au-
thorities suggests the guiding genius
OF some crafty and able leader. They
can no longer be dismissed as merely
the desultory outbursts of inhamed
fanatics. They must have a head to
them, aud that head is some ambitious
Mexican who would give all his pos
sessions to undermine Diaz or to dis
credit his administration.
But the Diaz government may be
expected to guide the ship of state out
of the troubled waters in due time,
exercising it's characteristic tact for
the preservation OF peace with the
United States.

Railroad Expense Account.

In the railroad rate hearing before
the Interstate Commerce commission
at Washington Attorney Brandeis, for
the shippers, contends that what rail-
roads need more than higher rates is
more science in their management. II
this we're applied, he maintains--cut-
ting out waste and needless expense
they would have no ground on which
to base the semblance Of a plea for
advanced schedules.
Whether unseientlfic or not in their
operating methods, the railroads
some OF them, at least-have shown
that no such charge may be fairly
made against their system of book
keeping. For instance the New York
Central displays postgraduate skill in
its accounting department, as reflected
in discoveries made in the course OF
an official investigation. One of many
examples will serve to show the pro-
digious science developed along these
lines. Before going into this, how
ever, it might be we'll to state that for
years the New York Central has fol.
lowed the plan of charging in every
months expenses one-tenth Of a full
years depreciation. Examination OF
the companys accounts for March Is
said to show that instead OF charging
off one-tenth Of the years deprecia.

vice for the New York Central.

President Tafts visit to the Panama
canal has brought out plainly the Fact
that the right man was finally obtained
to superintend the gigantic task of
building the canal and the president
may take all the personal pride in this
he pleases, for he is the one who Sc
lected Major Goethals Of the United
States engineer corps for the work.
The progress of the enterprise, full
filling the promise of its completion a
year before the time set; the lack of
friction among the employees and the
good physical condition of the men are
separate proofs of the peculiar fitness
Of Major Goethals. The government
was beginning TO grow little uneasy
in it's quest for a man who would take
hold Of this work and carry it through
to completion by January, 1916, and
the time lost in changes is only an
other evidence Of the splendid selec-
ton the president made in Major
Goethals.
Here is a suggestion OF the great
value the government may make of it's
army engineers, men trained at West
Point. Their operations may not be
quite as dramatic or spectacular as
those of the officer on the field of
battle, but we are not fighting many
battles nowadays and even If we were
It is doubtful IL the leader of an army
of warriors could offer any service
that would rank higher for the genu-
inc good of his country than that
which the army engineer may give in
peaceful enterprises similar to, though
even of far less magnitude, than the
one in which Major Goethals is just
now achieving such fame for himself
and results for his country. The gov
eminent will have a vast amount of
this work to be done in the next gem

PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT.

Yankee sailors seem to be having a good
time abroad. When Jack is ashore he
doesn't care much whose shore it is.
A murder eight years old has been un-
earthed in New York, and the police seem
just as much interested as though It were
one Of the fresh ones.
Juan Burcel a Mexican, has just died at
San Diego at the age Of 122 years. This
country was only twelve years old when he
was born In some respects his own
country is not yet that old.
Mrs Campbell OF Philadelphia told the
suffrage convention at Harrisburg that she
wanted to vote because she paid taxes the
same as a man. There is a calm and
logical spirit in this far more effective than
the hurting of a brick through a parlia-
ment window.
John d. Rockefeller has just been at
the horse show for the first time in his
life observes the Brooklyn ERgle The
horse is not run by gasoline, but only in
rare instances, when fed on by-product
gluten meal, bought at 25 Broadway at

Rockefeller income The horse, there
fore, like the landscape, may be enjoyed
by Mr.. Rockefeller as a pleasing anterior

After the Gold Brick Man

1t is to be hoped that the govern
ment's action against the gold brick
artist will not end until conditions are
created that will make it either i'm
possible or exceedingly dangerous for
this class Of takers to continue in bus
mess. And Postmaster General Hitch
cock seems fully determined on this
point. The idea of the United States
mails being employed as the chief in
strument in a system of fraud that
amasses $4O,OOO,0OO or $4,000, 900
to set of wildcat promoters is sim
ply astounding. The only criticism
to be offered in connection with fed
eral disposition is that action was not
taken long ago and the swindlers
nipped in the bud. If anything. the
government has been too patient with
these crooks. To be sure, 1t has
sought by other methods to stop them,
but these methods have proved thor
oughly inadequate.
Now that these amazing frauds have
been disclosed the government should
have every popular announcement
to go on even if it has to place a few
men behind the bars in order to es-
tablish a safe precedent and warning
It would be impossible to determine or
even approximate the far-reaching ef-
feet OF this class of swindiing opera
tions. Not only have thousands of in
dividuals been defrauded, but Iegit-
innate business interests have suffered
immeasurably. 1t should be made dan
gerous to engage in the fake stock
selling business. The brazen effront-
cry of the gold brick vender using the
United States mails as the machinery
Of his game is enough in itself to in
wife a severe penalty.

Of only per cent OF the voters It IL
reluctantly admitted that no law enacted

that per cent Of the voters will not

mltted with equal reluctance that no law
proposed by initiative Is likely to be so
baG that per cent Of the voters wll

is easier TO sign a petition than to refuse
and Justify refusal by argument There
fore. it is suggested, II the power Of direct
legislation is to remain with the voters
the difficulty Of appealing to it should be
Increased. This is a humiliating admission
for any supporter OF the principle to make.
but Il Is now being made freely in South
Dakota by supporters Of the principle
suggestions are offered that the required
percentage should be increased to TO- i5
30 %, or even 30 per cent. The suggestions
are logical The bigger the petition re-
quired. the more trouble and expense will
be involved in circulating &c and the
more chance the circulators will get tired
and quit before the necessary number OF
signers has been secured. The fewer propo-
sitions submitted to the voters. the more
probability that they will deal with them
intelligently and patiently.
II the law Is to be amended. rather than
repealed, there Is another point worthy OF
consideration. The blanket ballot should
be done away with. The measures should
be submitted by title only and the wording
OF 1t should be made clear enough TO give
the voter a good understanding OF the
meaning OF the law.
sull another lesson is suggested by the
south Dakota experience. Decisive defeat
OF any measure at any referendum should
put 1t out Of the running for period OF
years. The voters do not want to pass
upon county option and woman suffrage
and similar matters at every election Once
defeated, they ought TO stay defeated for
awhile, If this result cannot be attained
in the interests Of political peace there is
likely to be a popular protest that will
throw the whole machine into the discard.

SIOUX lily
Bewildered supporters Of popular legis-
lauon' in South Dakota are wondering
what Is the matter. Twelve propositions
in all were submitted on that seven-foot
blanket ballot at the recent election. The
returns have not been accurately tabulsted,
but it is plain that all the propositions.
with possibly one exception were showed
under. The list submitted comprised good,
bad and indifferent laws. Some OF them
had been enacted by the legislature, prac-
ucally without opposition. Confronted by
that awe inspiring ballot. e appears that
the average voter took his little pencil in
hand and marked a cross IN the mo-
squares all the way down the list Theoret-
ically he should vote eyes" on the good
laws and mo- on the bad or Indifferent.
Actually he took a wallop at all Of them.
What was the matter with the voter?
Was he Disguised over the size OF the bal
lot and the difficulty Of voting his senti-
ments intelhgently? was he mad at the
county optionists and equal suffragists for
not accepting previous expressions on the
same propositions Was he too Indifferent
to the privilege OF voting directly on leRis-
lation to try TO inform himself on the
merits Of the questions submitted? Nobody
knows just what was the matter with Mr..
Voter but everybody agrees that the refer
endum wasn't worth the $4,000 or more
that it cost. And q great many former
ardent supporters Of the referendum idea
arc ready to admit that they want no more
such referendums Indeed, the result OF
the balloung is generally interpreted 90
mean that this Is the way voters feel about
it,
supporters OF the initiative and referen-
dum principle are reluctant to admit that
the people do not want 20 be bothered
with direct legislation. They are more i'm
onned to seek some fault in the application
Of the principle. The first guess Is that Il
has been made too easy to get the wheels
of direct legislation going. In order 70

enacted by the legislature it is necessary
to get up petition containing the names

The story Is told OF Tolstoi bestowing a

who get everything they could out Of the
count. As soon as the tramp was we'll out
Of sight OF Krasnaya Polyana he threw
the boots away. He was seen and taken
to task for this and replied: THE count

another story OF an American admirer OF
