Municipal Affairs.

In discussing city business the Leader
has found good words" just as effec-
tive as any others.
This column was started several
years ago with the purpose of helping
advance the interests of the city, not
for controversy, but for progress. We
believed then, as we do now, that there
was too much conservatism and hold
ing back and not enough enterprise;
too much fault finding and theory and
not enough effort at realization. We
soon found large number of citizens
were Of the same way of thinking, and
there has been a general advance all
along the line and we are now begin
ming to receive what formerly we could
only hope for. Some say our progress
is owing to the oil business, but we beg
leave to differ from them. While the
oil developments around this city have
helped great deal, yet the cause must
be sought deeper and farther back.
The evolution of growth and prosper
ity is FROM the people themselves. 1t
cannot be stopped or baked for any
long time. The failure of every oil
we'll within one hundred miles of Mari
eta would only temporarily stop her
progress. We started on the up grade
of improvement and prosperity several
years before the oil boom struck us.
This is already one of the best towns
on the Ohio river and is bound to be
still better.
coUNcIAMEN.
Busy with their own affairs, they
have devoted a great many hours to
public business without compensation.
They ought at least to have the good
opinion of their fellow citizens. The
records are at the Clerks office and the
vouchers are all on file. The books
will soon be closed for this municipal
year. A City Council is generally no
better or worse than the people who
elect it. The present one is no ex-
ception. They haven't been hold-bacts
but have encouraged as far as they
could every enterprise which would
benefit the people. They do not seek
commendation from any one. All they
ask is that adverse criticism shall be
withheld until fair inquiry has been
made into the action objected to, be-
ing sure that any such examination
will be their sufficient vindication.

Social Aspects of Colorado Lie.

The residents are Eastern people OF
considerable wealth, in spending
which they strive to please themselves
at least, and their scheme of life is
intended to take in such means of en-
joyment as they have been accus-
toned to at home. II is Eastern life
in Western environment. They,
therefore, have built country club
house called the Cheyenne Mountain
Country Club, at Broadmoor, three
miles from town, so as to have some
place to drive to. 1t is an unpreten-
tious but attractive house, with large
grounds there seems always to be
more ground stretching away in every
direction in Colorado than elsewhere),
in which are set up all the appliances
of country club sports. There is
pigeon-shooting on many afternoons,
and polo when the team does not play
nearer town. There are "meets" un-
der club direction, to chase the coy
ote, or live fox, or sometimes an ami
seed-bag only. Races and some native
horseback sports are held at certain
time in the season, and luncheons and
dinner-parties are popular. IS Scrib-

guns simultaneously fred, the impact
of whose shots would, it is thought,
be even greater than q direct blow
from the heaviest ram. Either from
bow or stern the Kentucky or the
Kearsarge could deliver this irresistible
force which nothing could withstand.
The contract for building these
ships was recently given to the New
port News Ship.Building Company.
Although the contractors have three
years in which to complete them, it is
not probable that it will require that
length of time. Work will be car
ried on simultaneously ON both the
Kentucky and the Kearsarge. and it is
probable that they will be ready for
launching at nearly the same time.
Each of the ships will carry compile
ment of 600 men and officers.

BICYCLE MOWER.

useful to the owner Of very extensive
lawns. Ordinary mortals will be more
interested in the invention of an in
genious Yankee who has succeeded in
turning hard work into a pastime.
Henceforth the boys and girls will
compete eagerly for the privilege OF
cutting and rolling the lawn with the
bicycle lawn mower. This machine,
which is shown in the illustration, is
reported to work very easily and to he
about three times as fast as the ordin-
airy lawn mower. The idea is said to
have been suggested by lazy boy
who fastened a common lawn mower
to the hind wheel of his bicycle and
completed his task to his own salts

tonishment Of his irate parent.

In general appearance both ships
will seem rather short for their great
beam, their length being 36S feet, ex-
treme beam seventy.two feet two
inches, freeboard forward fourteen
feet three inches, freebosrd aft twelve
feet four inches and mean draught
twenty-three feet six inches. which
means displacement of IL, 800 tons.
One of the requirements laid down
by the Secretary was that these ves-
sells should draw less water when fully
loaded than any other first.class bat
tleship either in this country or else.
where. The largest foreign ship
draws about twenty-eight feet, while
the ships of the Indiana class will draw
but one foot less The new ships,
however, have been designed to draw
but twenty five feet, with 1900 tons OF
coal aboard. They thus will be en-
abled to reach all of the principal
navy yards and ports OF the country
and can be docked with less difficulty
than those now building.
The feature of the vessels which
makes them notably different from
other battleships is the new form of
turrets, about which there is still some
difference OF opinion. Their advan-
tages are said to be a large saving in
weight, which permits of more guns
aud more powerful machinery for the
propulsion, a better concentration of
fire, and the ability of the vessel to de-
liver all four guns in either forward,or
after turret almost simultaneously,
with the result of hitting a terrific
blow to the target.
No battleship, the ordnance officers
contend, could Withstand the blow il
every shot took effect. The introduc.
tion OF the double turret system was
opposed by the constructors on the
ground that 1t was too great q depar-
ture In the methods of mounting guns,
and that there was danger of both tur-
rets being placed out of action by 9
single shot hitting either.
The objections anced, however,
were met by the Ordnance Bureau,
and Secretary Herbert finally decided
to place the new turrets on
the two shipss aud have them
mounted with the heaviest guns made
for the navy-heavier even than the
rifles adopted for the battleships now
building for other Governments.

point the ships will be fought when

American officer is scientifically
trained naval fighter, graduated from
Annapolis, where, under rigid disci-
pline, he must have spent the forma.
tiveNyears of his life.
ThA British naval officer. following
the traditions OF Nelson's day, goes to
sea, where he is supposed to pick up
his knowledge. The American naval
officer, in accordance with modern
conditions, goes to q naval academy
and then to sea, being not a mere
sailor, but scientifically educated
sea fighter.
The significance OF this will be ap.
preciated when the two newest vessels
in the navy, the Kentucky aud the
Kearsarge, are considered. The con.
struction of these battleships has now
been begun, and is 10 be followed by
of others.
Fey are not ships at all, but i'm.
mense fighting engines, upon which
an old-fashioned sailor would be al
most useless. The problems which
they involve belong to engineering,
and not to seamanship. With every
such ship which she possesses the United
States can reach out and strike ter.
ri6c blow with quickness and certain
~ under conditions undreamed of by
Nelson or even by Farragut.
The Kentucky and the Kearsarge
are to cost 80, $50, 900 apiece. These
two new battleships belong to the
class OF the Massachusetts, and the In
diana. The Kearsarge has been
named by special order of Congress SO
as to perpetuate the memories of the
ship that sunk the Alabama.
The Kentucky has been 30 ramed as
tribute to the South, and because all
the vessels OF her class are to be named
after States. New England now stands
sponsor for one ship of this kind, the
Massachusetts,, the Middle West two,
Indiana and Iowa, and the Pacific
Coast one, the Oregon.
The Kentucky, however, will pos.
sess many features that differentiate
her from these ships, and make her
with her sister ship really the first oi
new and improved type, and finer
than any battleship in Europe. Among
these are double turrets, new con-
ming tower and thirteen-inch guns.
There is no battleship aAost to-day
and hardly any feet that could strike
q single blow so terrific as the Ken
tncky or the Kearsarge. The reason
for this is that each carries on the for
ward and after deck double turret,
each turret carrying two thirteen-inct
guns. No European Power has placed
guns larger than twelve-inch ON any
new vessels. :.
