NO BILL AGAINST WARD.

To the surprise of the public, the
Grand Jury has failed to indict D. M.
Ward, the policeman who shot and
killed A. O. Neil. This failure to in
dict is no justification of the crime, and
in ignoring the case the Grand jury is
not exempt from criticism.
A man having been shot and killed,
it was the duty of the Grand jury to
determine who had committed the deed,
and having so determined, a bill
should have been presented respon-
sive to the ends of justice. In
their failure to indict, the Grand
Jury has not exonerated Officer Ward
Of the responsibility for his act, but
has left him in a predicament which
may lead him into serious enlbarrass-
rnent in the future. Ward is not re-
lieved of the charge of murder against
him, which may be revived by some
other Grand jury, when he may be in
dicted and held judicially accountable
to justice.
If the Grand Jury had taken the prac-
teal and the sensible view of the case,
All indictment for manslaughter, which
is bailable, would have given Ward the
opportunity of establishing the justih-
cation of his act On a trial by jury
Ward, if not guilty, would have been
acquitted and discharged konorably.
AS it is, he is neither justifd nor &C
quilted for his act, and in the eyes OF
justice he occupies an unenviable and
an undesirable position. Besides, this
action of the Grand Jury may be con-
strued as a warrant justifying the of
hcer of the law who is too quick on the
trigger" and whose reliance in the dis
charge of his duty is on his handy and
his ready pistol, which he can use at
his discretion in shooting at and in kill
ing any one fleeing from arrest on a
charge for some misdemeanor.
IF officers of the law are warranted
in killing prisoners charged with a
misdemeanor who are trying to escape
by running through the streets and al
leys Of the city, who is safea Who can
tell who may escape the bullets of the
law officer?
Life is already too cheap, but if of
fcers of the law can shoot at and kill
fleeing prisoners or individuals under
arrest, who will be safe? Life will
scarcely be worth copper cent in
Shreveport.
Whether an officer of the law is au-
-thorized or is justified in using his
handy and his ready pistol against one
charged with nisdemeanor fleeing
from arrest is still debatable, but it
should be settled definitely by the court

Keeping the Yoke Down.

Often a summer dress is ruined by
the ct Of the yoke It bitches or rides
In a way that is as uncomfortable as
1t is unsightly. The easiest way to
remedy this defect is to have the yoke
made on a fitted lawn lining which
buttons around the waist This should
have a horizontal seam run just about
the bust line to take in an extra full
ness.
If the lining seems too warm or is
too much trouble to make, the yoke
can be attached to sort OF harness
made with a belt Of tape to which
are Joined vertical straps attached to
the bottom of the yoke.
Even easier is it to sew short tabs
Of tape or muslin to the bottom Of the
yoke. These can be securely pinned
to the corset without tearing the yoke
itself; It is good idea to fasten the
smallest sized safety pins TO these tabs
so that they are always in readiness

The Lingerie Hat AGAIN.

The lingerie hat of other seasons is
here again, and there is nothing more
suitable for wear with light washing
frocks, but it is lingerie rather in
trimming than in the shape itself. for
the hat made OF muslin or of net or of
embroidered linen is no longer consid-
cred smart. Rather is a fine leghOrn
or shape OF cream colored horsehafr
bent into a becoming outline and the
crown covered with overlapping ruff
f1es of finely plated muslin and valen-
ciennes lace 1t is then further adorn-
ed with satin ribbon twisted around
the base of the crown and pulled into
q chic bow at one side. Possibly a
few flowers are tucked In. and more
charming hat you couldn't imagine.
Sometimes this scheme of trimming
IS reversed and brimless shape is
chosen, the crown of straw left undis-
guised and the ruffles of plated mus
lin or lace falling around the face. In
any case 1t Is considered quite neces-
sary to have some straw in evidence
somewhere.

4 IsAPPoINTME.NT.

It appears that the failure of the Po-
lice Jury of DeSoto Parish to provide
means sufficient to carry on the good
roads project, as outlined recently, is a
disappointment to the friends of Gov
ernor Sanders. The State has offered
the conviets and the work was intended
to have progressed under the direction
of the best engineering skill. The cost
Of taking care of the convicts, including
Incidental expenses, was to have been
assumed by DeSoto Parish. At its sit
ting in Mansfield few days since, the
Police Jury as announced authorita-
lively, set aside 2I-4 mills for road:
and bridges, and Ia mills for all other
purposes, which made a Io-mill tax II
all, the full limit Of the law. This wa;
a disappointment to the good roads ad
vocates, as it provides only about $TIoc
for each road district for road purposes
which is not much more than enough
to keep up the bridges in some of tn,
districts.
There can be no good roads without
money.

The Tatin AeropIane.

If we call the aeroplane an airsh1p
it is not a new idea by any means. for
as far back as 1879, nearly thirty
years ago, Victor Tatin. a French sci.
enlist. made one which went through
the air at the speed of twenty-five feet
second, or over quarter of mile a
minute. AS those were the times
when the modern gas engine, such as
we use in the automobile and pow
err boat, was unknown. compressed
air was the motive force. 1t passed
from an air chamber into two propel-
Iers, which forced the areoplane
through the atmosphere as boat goes
through the water. This airship
which made successful fight at Men
don, near Paris. had two wings" OF
light silk stretched on wooden frames
which kept them distended. These
wings or sails could be turned In diff
