Watchfui Waiting Policy.

Mer Rouge. La, Dec. 26.--This lit
tie community today assumed an at
titude Of "watchful waiting" follow
ing the arrest Of r. +. Burnett on a
charge Of murder In connection with
the killings Of Watt Daniels. and
Thomas +. Richards. whose funerals
we're held here Sunday. No further
move has been made openly by au-
thorltios to make further roundups
of alleged mob members who kid
naped five men on the public high
way near here Aug. 81, and are al
legged to have murdered Daniels and
Richards.
The populace refuses to take Bur
nett's arrest seriously, apparently be-
lieving that some mistake has been
made in his apprehension. This de-
spite the fact that reports, from
what appear to be authentic sources,
state that Burnett was positively
identified by relative, Berry Whet-
stone a farmer, as one of the mem
bers Of the masked mob.
Milestone, according to reports,
was held up by the hooded mob on
the night OF Aug. "a and forced to
carry water from a nearby farm.
house. After securing water for the
thirsty mob Milestone, it is said,
was forced to remain with them
through fear that he (Whetstone)
ould give the alarm if permitted
to continue on his way
While seated ON a log near where
the mob was congregated Milestone
is alleged to have recognized Bur-
nett and several other members
when they raised their masiSs to
drink water.
Milestone, after relating his ex
periences to department of justice
agents and state authorities, was
spirited away in order to protect
him from the possible vengeance of
members of the mob.
In a statement to correspondents
yesterday Burnett emphatically de-
MED that he was member of the
Ku Klux Klan. He also declared he
believed the khan had been wrong
fully accused of the charges.
Burnett is taking his confinement
at Bastrop calmly, and has an
nounced that he will base his de-
Tense fight ON an alibi which he be-
lieves will clear him. He was Wis
tied by scores of friends, many prom
inent men among them. He is con-
nected with one Of the best known
families Of this section, several kins-
men being parish officials.
Burnett was subjected to minute
search in his cell late yesterday by
deputy sheriffs, who also asked him
a number of questions dealing with
the kidnapings. To many of these
Burnett refused to reply, stating that
he had hired attorneys to do his
talking.
1t is believed the state will not
take advantage of its legal right to
ask for a change of venue, and will
proceed with the trial or trials at
Bastrop, parish seat. Rumors to this
effect were credited to Attorney Gen.
eral Coco today, who has so far re-
fused to talk on the case.
1t was reported that Governor
Parker desired a change of venue,
but officials, it is said, are convinced
that the testimony in the mystery
murder and kidnapping will be so

Other provisions of the law, inso-

But loan bonus measure, formulated
something on the order of the Oregon
bonus law. and designed to be of ma
terial aid to former service men IN

Helping Along.

THE TRIBUNE is glad that it can
= be of service to the Boise project in
giving its residents discussion of the
proposal to form an irrigation district
to supplant the present water users
association. That fight centers in
Caldwell. Perhaps nothing aof the
present moment is of more importance
than this problem. 1t is only fair to
the public that a straightforward dis
cussion of the questions involved by
given widest possible publicity.
This is not a one sided question.
There are arguments favoring the re-
tention of the present association con-
tract and it's accompanying rights;
there are equally weighty arguments
in favor of the formation of an irri'
CATION district.
The Tribune prides itself upon be
ing the only newspaper published up
on the Boise project that has consist
antly and persistantly presented to 1T
readers, in as fair and unbiased wa!
as it possibly can, the varied angle
of this controversy.
Good, sound common sense usuail
prevails with Americans. When TIN
matter is finally settled, it will be sci
tied right. But an informed publ
must settle il. The Tribune hopes =
be able to assist in informing the pup
lie, lending its small effort to sett'n
difficult and sore question set
rights forever.

Inviting a, Tragedy.

A LMOST exactly one Half an hour
was necessary to empty the Cald-
well high school gymnasium after the
Nampa Caldwell basket ball game
An orderly crowd, desiring to be away
as quickly as possible, could not leave
in less than half an hour. OF course,
the building was packed almost to its
utmost capacity. But tonight, when
Boise plays here, the conditions will
probably be duplicated.
Several times that frame tinderbox
building has been afre. Can you
fancy what would surely happen if it
should burst into flames on a night
when such crowd as will be there
tonight is present?
From just such things are tragedies
made. Americans are optimists; we
cannot conceive that the catastrophies
of elsewhere, portrayed all to fire.
quently through the press, may some
time claim us. In snug satisfaction
we live along day by day. Then the
blow strikes, lives are lost and an in
vestigation ensues. One of the pitifu
things about Investigations is that they
come too late. Forewarned wisdom i:
far better than knowledge that comes
afterward.
The big thing is to look ahead tc
the time when Caldwell can have ;
new modern and freproof building, tt
replace this menace to the community
and every one who uses it. Until tina
time comes, the school board shoulc
see to it that adequate emergency exit
are provided. To do less is to invit
a terrible calamity.

Greatest of Laymen
Preachers.

William Jennings Bryan is deliver
ing as many sermons nowadays as
the average minister of the Gospel
and many of them are given in Wash
ington churches. In addition he is
writing Sunday school lessons to a
syndicate that is doing land office
business selling the feature to news
papers throughout the country.
Friends of Mr.. Bryan say that he is
now performing his greatest service
for humanity incidentally, the Com
moner never enjoyed greater popul-
arity than at present. He has taken
up his residence in Florida, and the
political straws appear to indicate that
the senatorial winds are blowing
strong in his direction.

power, settled them without more ado,

One of the fundamental hypothesis
of trade unionism is that ali mems SER

we accuse proponents of trade union,

Road Information Often
Hard To Get From States.

With the annual expenditure for
roads and streets in the United States
approaching the billion-dollar mark,
more accurate information and better
means for obtaining it seem necessary
says the bureau of public roads of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. One thing very much need
ed is the concentration of all sorts of
the roads of the various states in the
state highway departments.
Engineers of the department are
now gathering complete information
regarding the road mileage and ex-
penditures in the United States In
many of the states much of the in
formation desired is easily obtainable
from the state highway department.
In the case of Iowa the figures were
obtained almost Immediately In
other cases it has been necessary to
send out numerous questionnaires and
sometimes the information has been
obtained only after personal visits.
In one state 1900 questionpaires had
to be sent out to bring in the needed
figures, and in some it has been found
that practically no records have been
kept For some of the counties in
New Mexico questionnaires had to be
translated into Spanish before the
road officials could understand them
