LETTERS TO EDITOR
PUBLIC DEFENDER

Editor Day Book-Under the pre-
vailing judicial system an innocent
man accused of crime has a small
chance of acquittal if he is poor and
friendless.
The usual procedure of providing
him with an obscure and possibly in
competent lawyer is farcical when it
is understood that an experienced
prosecutor will relentlessly oppose
every effort made to prove his inno-
cence.
An official public defender just as
able and influential as the prose-
cutting attorney must be elected and
paid by the people before any penni-
less man will get a fair and impair
tial hearing.-John BUdziLem, SO E

perity the newspapers are talking
about so much isn't visible to the
naked eye of the man out of job.
And there are hundreds of thousands
of such men.
What the newspapers are trying to
do is to apply Christian Science to
the commercial, industrial and finan-
cial situation, by bringing prosper
ity through restoration of confidence
and hope in the minds of bankers
and business men.
If they can bring prosperity by
making people think we have it, well
and good. The man out of a job |
won't be particular how it comes, just |
SO it comes and he gets some of it.
1t costs no more to be optimistic |
than to be. pessimistic. Going around
with long face won't get us any
thing, and we may smile ourselves |
into better times Nobody needs |
prosperity more than the newspa-
pers, with the big war expense, the
loss on white paper and the falling
away of advertising; and if they can't |
get it for themselves they will have |
to get it for the rest of us. And as
we all want it we might as well join |
the band and pull for it.
The best thing Uncle Sam can do |
is to roll up his sleeves and go to |
work.

IMPROVED STREET CAR
SERVICE BEING PLANNED
Means to Prevent Overcrowding
Considered by Public Utilities
Commission.

Improved service on local street rail-
way lines which will provide a seat
for every passenger during non-rush
hours, and enough cars during the
thirty minutes of heaviest traffic OF
rush hours to prevent the overcrowd-
ing OF standing room may be ordered
next month by the public utilities COM
mission.
Following a careful study of traffic
conditions in the District, the COM
mission is considering the following
proposed standards of service:
Seventy-f1ve seats per 100 passenger.
during the half hour of maximum traf-
f1c during each Of the two rush periods
Of the day.
One hundred and twenty-five seats
per 100 passengers during every hour
OF the non-rush periods of the day.
To Hold Formal Hearing.
For the purpose of considering the
adoption of the proposed standards
the commission will hold a forma
hearing In the boardroom at the Mu.
nicipal building Monday, October 10
The object in establishing standards
1t Is stated, is not only to establish
what service the utilities will be re.
quired to furnish, but to simplify the
procedure of the utilities in changing
their schedules to meet the varying
conditions of traffic.
The commission today took unfavor-
able action on the request Of the Ana
costa Citizens Association for better
service on the Anacostia line Of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany. Complaint was made by the as
sociation that headway between cars
between 9Th and F streets northwest
and 1st and E streets southeast, both
by way of Center Market and by way
of Union station. is at least ten min
utes, and after 9 pm. is fifteen to
eighteen minutes; that this headway
is too long and should be reduced. In
Its findings, the commission states that
the rush-hour headways are from three
to four and one-half minutes in the
morning and two to three minutes In
the afternoon on all portions Of the
line except between 9Th and F streets
northwest and 1st and E streets south
east.
