Free Justice.

To our reader! we especially tender them our thanks for their kindness during the past year to ak them to comuare and fitfd out if this

PARIS PAWNSHOPS.

Every lawyer is an officer of the court, sworm to aid justice Any lawyer may be ordered by the courc to taice the case of a defendant wha hasn't enough money to pay a fee. We believe that a judge in New York once assigned a lawyer of the first rank to try the case of a poor devil who couldn't hire him; but the custom didn't spread. Usually the job goes to some fledgling at the bar who is eager for experience often at the poor devil's other-than money expense. There are a few a very few lawyers who put their skill into social service without much regard to fees. Louis D. Brandeis is one. Frank P. Walsh of Kansas City is another. Their biggest work is donated. But they are much more popular among the laity than among their fellow professionals. Most lawyers are free grabbers They have to be- Their profession is overcrowded. They have to scratch gravel to make a living. Often we censure them unfairly. They can't afford the great majority of them to serve justice when the big rewards are for lawyers who can beat or cheat it. 'I believe in free iustice'

savs Judcre Runnenthal of Rus

sell, Kas. "I believe that lawyers should be. in practice as

well as in theorv. officers of the

court paid by the state, so that thev would in fact be as truly

officers of the court as the court itself is an officer of justice. I believe that under such a system we would be able to get rid of

the pettifc ggers and the shys

ters and the hangers-on, who now make the name lawyer a byword and a term of reproach."

That is not. a new idea It has often been suffgest 1 Once in

a ereat while it ha ben-.t tried in

a small way. A few cities have hired public defenders. Some communities have free legal aid.

Cleveland has a successful court in which justice of a pretty good quality is administered without the use of lawyers at all. But nowhere is there as broad an organization of free justice as there is everywhere free medical and surgical help for the sick

The nrofession of healing is far

in advance of the piofession of justice. There isä surplus of doctors, too; but it isn't rare for a big doctor to give much of his public without pay. Nor does it greatly interfere with his standing in his profession. "Free justice!'' Ought not justice to be free? Can it be iustice if up for sale? Can it be

justice if the poor, who need it most, practically can't get it?

To Be Appointed by County Commissioners at January Term.

Important? Appointment!

Brother Dufendaeh of the

Huntinerburg Independent and

Bille Cox's ex-hired hand, and who now wants the TeU City Postoffiee are awfully (?) anxious

that the County Commissioners

w of Dubois County shall appoint a

COMPETENT Roe.d SuDerin-,

tendent at $4 a day. They' es-.

oecially object to the appoint

ment of a $2 a day man and let-J

tincr him draw $4 a day. JewmH

likens, my dear County Gommis: sioners you are up against it. Of '

Course Cox s hired hand s mart

would be competent. So, also

would Brother Dqtendacn s man. COMPETENT! is a gr.eat word.

There is not a man in Dubois

Couniv. either as an editor, pub

lisher, school teacher, doctor

lawyer, or road worker who is

COMPETENT from -the view point of some people. We name

the nrofessions m their order of

merit. Our brother editors should not worry, the County

Commissioners will appoint a

COMPETENT man to draw the

There is no "private office" where the person, temporarily emfcarrassed for money may' screen himself from inquisitive eyes. If you are in want of money and you have any portable property of the value of 3 francs or more you take it to the nearest branch office of i;he "mont-de-piete." The first thing that meets your gaze is a "guard municipal" patrolling up and down the pavement outside the entrance. With a feeling of wholesome respect for the majesty of th lane, you now enter a large room, ol which one side is occupied by benches (very hard and uncomfortable ones) and the other by half a dozen employees behind a counter.
