Chicago, like New York, has decided
to save its daylight. 1t has moved the
clock ahead an hour already, and will not
turn it back until October. 1t will make
considerable trouble this year, for the
change is purely local, and conflicts with
the central time" maintained by the rail-
roads. Chicago people, however, are con-
WINGED that getting through the days
work an hour earlier, and having an hour
more of time for recreation in the eve
ming daylight, will more than pay for the
confusion and inconvenience. As for the
farmer and the milkman in the territory
adjacent to Chicago, they will have to
stand it as best they can. Small cities
and towns are not so well able to adopt
this policy. Still, it is possible for the in
dividual citizen to save his hour of day
light for himself, by the judicious use OF
an alarm clock and little determine
ton.

THE LAWYER FOR THE DEFENSE

Many causes have been suggested for
the prevalence of crime. One possible
influence has had but little emphasis, yet
it is evident in case after case. This is
the lawyer for the defense, who may take
a case knowing the criminal guilty and
yet use every known trick of his trade to
cheat the law and secure release or light
sentence for his client. Such men as
these must be made to feel the heavy
hand of society before crime will be
controlled as it should.
Two business men were driving
through their home city recently with
the pay roll for their factory in the car.
They were held up in broad daylight by
group of young thugs, and although
they offered no resistance, were murdered
in cold blood. The bandits escaped, but
now their leader has been apprehended.
has confessed and must soon face trial.
The lawyer who has taken the case has
announced that he cannot say as vet
what line his defense will take. The one
sure thing is that there will be a legal
battle rather than n rational trial.
As a matter Of fact, there is no defense.
The prisoner is Il sclf-confeSsed criminal.
He is older than many n fine lad who
gave his life to defend his country in the
late war. He has shown by his talks with
police and reporters that he is ac-
quainted with many tricks for evading
court sentences. He is entitled only to
such defense by any lawyer as will in
sure that his case is conducted in accord
ance with court rules and the funda-
mental principle that every man must be
considered innocent until he is proved
guilty. Yet there is every reason to fear
that the usual attempts will be made to
sway public opinion and divert the
course of justice. Such procedure should
be condemned by public opinion and for
hidden by legal ethics. -

Safety in Numbers.

We do not sympathize with those good
souls who advocate a change in the sys-
tenn of representation in the Vermont
house of representatives. There are times
when the larger centerS of population
need to be saved from themselves and the
small towns serve an excellent purpose in
that direction. On the other hand. there
is safety in mere numbers whenever and
always provided legislators really take
time to deliberate.
