Negro, Resisting Arrest, Is

Franklinton, La, June 3d.
Lee Burkhalter, a negro, was
killed at Clifton, six miles north
of here yesterday evening by r.
L. To'Iey, a deputy sheriff.
Burkhalter, who had a bad
reputation, went to the houses
of two white men near Clifton,
and on being demonstrated with
for some disorderly conduct, be.
came very abusive. He finally
left with a threat he would re.
turn with his gun.
The two whites men then went
to Clifton and reported to the
deputy sheriff. Toney, accom-.
panied by G. O. Trest, went in
search Of the negro. They fin.
ally met him in the road. He
had his shotgun and was ready
to fire. His shot aimed at Trest
missed. Trest fired and the
load hit the negro aud badly
wounded him. Rurkhalter fell
to the ground but continued to
shoot. TOney then fired and
killed him.
No arrests we're made as the
coroner 5 inquest developed the
fact that no blame was to be at /.
taclled 10 the men doing the
shooting.

and guard the producers from violence and murder.
The fleets and armies behind whose protection a
people remain secure in their creation Of wealth are
not non-productve; they are productive. They are
as much part of the economic process of produo-
ton te railroad that carries the crops, as the
bank that finances the farmers until they send their
produce to market, as the windmill that draws the
water, as the sun that shines.
If there were no such thing as war, no such thing
as racial lust for the property and the rights of other
races, such thing evil in the world, then fleets
and armies would be needless waste of substance
wanton sacrifice Of natural wealth, economic sin
But so long as every dollar put into nations de-
fense safeguards many, many dollars Of wealth from
rapne and destruction that insurance against dangers
and losses-that positive investment in security
like the police and the firemen, is part and parcel
of the national production of incalcuable benefit to
the American people.

THE PRESIDENTS CHRISTMAS MESSAGE.

In signing the currency measure President Will
son made statement which the nation will not fail
to recognize as cheering and reassuring. There was
time when the promise that this was 'the first of
series of constructive measures" which his party pro-
poses to pass for the country might have caused fear
rather than confidence 1t is to the credit of the Ad-
mnisraton that it has changed the publics attitude
toward its constructive program. There is not the
concern which formerly felt about Democratic
course, still look with misgiving on anything that
comes from Democratic caucus or is based on
Democratic platform pledge. But it is conceded even
by political antagonists that that feeling is not so
widely extended or firmly held as it once was.
The President has confident and confdence-in-
spring way of presenting his case. He has been at
much pains to convince the country that his purpose
is in nowise destructive. He wants business brought
into step and tune with the purposes of his party,
which he is justified in assuming the purposes of
the country The management of the wire combine
case, and now of others whose settlements are
understood to be pending has impressed the fact
that there is every wish to get desirable results by
cooperation and common counsel"
For the business world this of right should be
cheerful Christmas season. The tone of substantially
every business activity is better and growing yet bet
ter still. There is every reason for confident hope
that the beginning of the year will see such an
upturn toward large prosperity as will very presently
impress every class of the people and every rami-
fcation of business activity.

THE CARABAo DINNER REPRIMAND.

That President Wilson feels strongly over the
program at the recent Carabao dinner is fully con-
6rmed by the letter made public yesterday in which
he orders severe reprimand administered to the
army and navy officers who participated in it. What
ever difference of opinion may exist as to whether
the President should feel aggreved over the incident
the fact that he does feel aggrieved, and deeply So
closes the argument as to the propriey Of some kind
of rebuke. He and those associated with him in
the Administration are the persons whose feelings
nave to be considered in the circumstances.
Nobody believes the officers in question delib-
atey set out to ridicule and poke fun at their
periors. But funmaking and travesy when coupled
with publicity may work serious injury to serious un-
dertakings. The only thing to be urged against the
Presidents action is that as similar things have been
done and passed without notice, it might have been
as we'll had the warning against repetition of the Of
fense been given Enthusiastically but with less severity

CLEVELAND'S BIG CITY FARM.

Eight years ago Cleveland had the courage to
Try a sweeping experiment in the care of its de-
pendents The undertaking was much more ven-
turesome at that time than it would be considered
now. The city transferred all its penal and char
liable wards, as well as those who needed treatment
in sanitariums, to a farm of 1000 acres ten miles
distant where health conditions were excellent And
when it got them there it proceeded to put into effect
system of mutual selfhep, combined with judicious
segregation and having recovery Of usefulness to So
cey as the object held constantly in mind.
The experiment is pronounced by capable OBJ
servers to be notable Whether it Is so in
every respect and whether results obtained there are
applicable to conditions confronting other commun
ties be determined only by comparative study But
at least Cleveland has demonstrated that there is a
good deal more than theory to that kind of system
Its old workhouse and infirnary buildings have been
sold and the city has shown enough faith in its own
plan TO invest S356O0O in the farm and $751; 900 in
Improvements, from which the money received from
the sale of its deserted institutions must be deducted
as an Offset.
1t is not surprising, in the light of experience
elsewhere, to learn that prisoner at the Ceveend
farm seldom attempts TO away, and that only
Is per cent of those who are paroled are sent
back This is the best evidence that in helping the
prisoner community is really helping itself
