MAJOR ANDERSON.

Ordinary business sense would of IT
self have prompted the retention OF
Major Anderson by the state until the
end of the debt case. 1t would have
been folly to displace the one mar
who knew every detail OF the long
litigation until the final decree of the
supreme Court had been filed. vir-
sinia's case would have been endan-
gered had another. no matter how
skilled. taken over tho present Attor-
ney- Generals burden
But aside from retaining an invalu-
able public servant at critical juno
turc. the employment of Major An
derson as temporary special counsel
for the state viii be a. pleasing tri-
butte TO a most efficient public servant.
The path of the Attorney-G General lies
through no beds of roses. Hard rocks
OF legal precedent and tough knots
of complex statutes give him little
chance for rest. He has to work hard,
and work where the applause OF the
general public is seldom heard. If he
does his work well. the chief lawyer
of the Commonwealth is likely to have
silence for his only commentator and
a lack of abuse as his only tribute
III he makes a mistake, he is sure to
be the butt of criticism and loud re-
Dukes.
In this trying position. 1t has been
Major Andersons lot to encounter
greater difficulties than almost any
of his numerous predecessors. He had
the task of constituting a new Consti-
tuition for a small army of State Off
Gals; he had to fight to the bar of
the supreme Court the disfranchise-
ment clause; he battled with the rate
case; and in the latter years of his
second term, the debt case gave him
the heaviest burden ever placed on the
shoulders OF any lawyer in Virginia.
He has done honor to the State in
ali of these suits, and has given us
consistent, judicious and unusually ac-
curate opinions. The Assembly will
not forget these facts, and will not
fail to do him honor.
