"SHOOT STRAIGHT GRATUITOUS ExSuperior Court Judge Writes About Shooting by Soldiers Here List Week- Judge Frank Carter, former Superior ' Court Judge, writes abbut the uufortunate shooting to death of unoffending citizen in Graham by soldiers ou night of 19( h iost. "in Carter's Weekly, as follows: . The information available at this writlug as to the fatal action of the troops at the Alamanee county jail puts a heavy onus upou the public authorities, In cluding the Governor of the State. There is a highly regretable lack of evidence that the firing was necessary tu repel a serious at tempt to breach the prison. On the contrary-, there is much to sug gest that the soldiers acted with out command and directed the fire of their machine guns and side-arms indiscriminately agains: a crowd of unoffending citizens. The incident should be made the subjeet of an investigation free from any taint of whitewash. It is our most earnest hope that such an iuvestruation will fully exonerate fhe troops from the blame that now appears to attach to them. But if so l»e that tbey have act ed with undisciplined zeal and ex ceeslve severity, the fault is not to be regarded as exclusively •theirs. The gratuitous truculence of the "shoot-straight" pronuncia ments of His' Excellency their commander-in-chiet" waa well cal culated to give them » hair-trigger set -to breed 10 them a con tempi of life, not to any a lust of blood. The toue of the Governor's state ment was singularly uufortunate. No one will question the propriety of the employment of the utmost force to uphold the majesty of the law, but It would have derogated nothing from tho eff ctiveness of his arm > for him 1o have shown a little more respect for the feelings of a sorely tried community. • Lodge end Statesmanship. The Philadelphia Record. There are no patriate or states men except Republicans, accord ing to Senator Lodge. Of course, George Washington doesn't count beoanae the party did not exiat in his da«. How the country man aged to get along for 72 years without Mr. Lodge's party we can not imagine. "You lira a patriotic American," Bald Mr. Lodge to Mr. Harding, "imbued with the great leaden of the paatof Washington, Lincoln _ and Roosevelt, whose services'to the American people have become forever memorable in our hlatory." Even Grant and McKinley have fallen by the way side, and Taft may have been omitted because he isn't dead yet. But we will ventnre to say that Grover Cleveland will rank among the greatest of our Presidents In American history, and no man ainee Lincoln will bulk so large in American history 00 years from now as Wood row Wileon. But Henry Cabot Lodge ,is incapable of patriotlam; partisanship ia the .highest level to which he can soar. DAYS OF DIZZINESS Cesee To Graham People.
