"A PIBLIc pEEENpERn

The Herald has opposed surrender
 of authority by the common council
 in the appointment of the public
 prosecutor. Some time ago The Herald
 opposed the proposition that the
 mayor be allowed to appoint. the
 corporation counsel, on the ground
 that such corporation counsel was. In
 no sense, personal attorney for the
 mayor. The corporation council is attorney for the city strictly speaking,
 It is quite conceivable that his legal opinion would differ from the opinion of the Mayor: 1t Is well that such pos- sibility exists. The corporation coun- sel should not be a politician; he should be essentially good lawyer and his opinions should be guided by
 nothing except the law.
 Now comes the suggestion that there should be a public defender to represent the poor people brought into the police court. The statement Is made that the city spends money to present Tease against man arrested for some alleged otfense; so the city should spend money to present the facts in his favor. The conclusion is based on unsound reasoning. There is necessity for nrosecutor. Without a prosecutor there would never be any case against a person arrested by the police for doing something wrong. The judge could not investigate the facts; the police could not attend to their duties were they obliged to prepare cases for trial. The peace of the city would have no champion.
 On the other hand the accused may present his own case The judge is careful to bring out all the circum- stances. The public prosecutor him. self will not seek to press a charge which, upon investigation he finds is wrongfully made. The accused in po- lice court, where the matter is of comparatively little importance com pared to those charges which are tried in the superior court, often gets along quite as we'll without a lawyer as with one. Moreover. in practice where cases are disposed of so rapidly of necessity, it would be practical im- possibility to ascertain whether or not a man had the means to employ a lawyer. Certainly the provision for a public defender in police court would merely add to the expenses of the city bringing greater justice. This is known by those familiar with the inner workings of the police court.
 Cases have been known where man obtained the use of the services of the public defender in the higher court although he had ample means to employ lawyer. Then he boasted of the fact. This would be the condition which would often arise in police court The calendar wSuld be so clogged that few cases could be dis posed of daily. And Justice would not be furthered. There are taxes enough on the people without providing for another official to be paid for by the people who do not get into police court for the doubtful benefit of those who do.

AT LAST

It Is with considerable satisfaction that The Herald notes the decision by the common council to adopt the two- platoon system for the flremen. While the human side of the question, the giving to this efficient body of men decent working hours, made a strong appeal, the practical value of the sys- tenn was at no time forgotten by The Herald in it's advocacy of it. The service our firemen have given the city in the past deserves this recogni- ton, and where deserved recogni- ton is coupled with practical advan- tage to the people, situation arises which may well call for commenda- ton.
 Another matter suggested in these columns has found favor with the common council, namely the analysing of the water in the places whence comes ice, sold in this city. The fact that the common council has decided to use ice from Shuttle Meadow lake, which may be contaminated by cutting it there, does not make it less neces- sary that other sources should be ex- amined. Because a city opens the door to one known danger there is no reason for throwing open all the win dows also tp all possible dangers.
 The Herald will continue to try to progress with the progress of science in the matter of public health which progress is bringing reduced death rate and longer lives to citizens of the world,

THREE SOURCES OF
PLATE POTENTIAL
Use Of Step-Up Transformer and
Rectifying Tubes Recon-
mended for Amateurs.

The greatest drawback In the use
Of vacuum tubes for radio transmit
tiers is a suitable source OF direct cur
rent potential for the plate circuits.
In general there are three sources,
batteries, a motor-generator set, and
rectifed alternating current The al
ternatlng house lighting current can
be stepped up to the required poten-
tial by means Of a transformer and
then rectihed by an electrolytic rec
tifier, by the use OF vacuum tubes
manufactured for this purpose.
The use of batteries as a source of
plate current potential is limited to
very low power sets that are used
infrequently. and then only for short
intervals Sufficient capacity in the
form OF ''B" batteries would mean
not only a relatively high first cost
but also an extremely high mainte-
nance cost. A motor-generator set,
while high In first cost, will leave an
extremely low maintenance cost and
denver a potential that only varies
slightly, due to the commutator ripple.
IL sections where direct current is
used for house lighting. a motor gen
orator set is the only practical and
satisfactory source of plate potential.
Taking first cost, maintenance cost,
convenience and space required into
consideration, the best way to obtain
the required current potential for the
operation of vacuum tube transmit
ters, is by the use OF a step-up trans
former and rectifying tubes
The Lamar register., 1922-09-06

Of rectifiers, there is circuit known
as the self-rectifying circuit that can
be used for radio telegraphy. In
using a self-rectfying circuit at least
TWO tubes must be employed. If more
power is desired tubes must be added
In pairs. The tubes employed are dl-
vided Into two groups operating on
each half OF the cycle.

A line of vacuum tube rectihers Is
on the market under the name ken
otrons." These tubes have been de
signed to have the proper operating
characteristics to rectify alternating
current for the line of transmitting
tubes put on the market by the same
company.
II rsdiotron transmitting tubes are
used II is only necessary TO build or
purchase a transformer with q tila-
ment heating winding and plate cur
rent winding and by the use of keno
irons for rectihers. The entire power
to operate the transmitting set can be
taken from the alternating current
house lighting circuit.
1t is possible to use an electrolytic
rectifler in order to rectify the plate
potential after the l10 volt house
lighting circuit has been stepped up
by means Of transformer. Electro
iytic rectlders are probably the cheap
est source of plate potential. but they
are sloppy and demand a lot Of care
and attention.
To operate the standard five-watt
transmitting tube, known as radio
tron type Nv 2o2, a plate voltage
OF $50 Is required and the plate cur
rent per tube is 45-10O OF an ampere.
The filament requires 2.35 amperes at
rs volts. Rectlfying tubes known as
kentron type Nv 216 are made to
be used in conjunction with the Ave
watt transmitting tubes. The recti-
fer tubes are so designed that one rec
tifer will rectify sufficient current at
the correct potential to operate one
transmitting tube.
