WILL ASSEMBLE BIGGEST FLEET
England Will Hold Greatest Naval
Maneuvers Ever Witnessed

London-The largest number of bat
tleships and cruisers ever brought to-
gether at one time will assemble at
Lagos next month for the combined
British maneuyers, which are to take
place off the coasts of Portugal and
Spain. The channel, Atlantic and Med
iterranean fleets, with attendant cruis-
er squadrons, will take part in the
evolutions.
The assembly at Lagos will provide
one of the most gigantic object lessons
possible as to Great Britain's naval
strength under present conditions. The
total number of ships which will be
assembled at Lagos will be sixty di-
vided as follows:
Battleships. 80
Cruisers. l6.
Scouts. etc. II.
When il Is pointed out that the total
of the effective fleets OF Germany and
France combined number only seventy
seven ships the power of the COM
hined British flcet will be realized At

that Great Britain has other ships at

change it in any way. This plan is
proper for county, school and state
taxes.
But how are the railroads assessed
in the cities? The law as it now is
provides that the city authorities shall
take the assessed value of the rail
roads in each city or village as made
by the state board, which assessment
is a mileage assessment and does not
include the railroad property in the
city or village, except as taken into
account and shared in the total assess
ment.
Terminal taxation means that the
plan of assessment for county, school
and st, te purposes shall not be dis
turbed b. that in the cities for city
purposes alone the railroads shall be
assessed on all the property actually
in the cities. In doing this it will not
increase the taxes Of people in the
western counties one cent. 1t will
simply make the railroads pay more
taxes in the cities and villages. 1t will
make the railroads pay taxes for city
purposes on the actual property they
have in the cities and villages. All
the railroads in the state last year
were assessed in round numbers at
SAT 100000. If we had a law provid-
ing for the taxation of railroad ter
minals in the cities for city purposes
this SAT, ,000,0 900 assessment would have
been made just the same Terminal
taxation therefore is right and such
law should be passed.
AS it is now all of the railroads to-
gether in Lincoln do not pay as much
taxes as some of our single business
houses The same thing is true in
Omaha and other cities in the state
Take for instance, in Lincoln, the rail
roads have valuable depots and other
valuable improvements. They own
hundreds of acres of land. On all of
this property they pay no taxes for city
purposes. except only as valued by the
state board, which is but very little.
That the railroads should pay taxes
In the cities on the actual property
they own in the cities Is obvious for
many reasons. They use the streets
of the cities; they have police protec.
ton; they have fire protection. Quite
frequently the FIRE departments In the
larger cities put In all night protect.

An Old Citizen Gone.

1t becomes our sac duty THIS
week to record the death of an old
and houored citizen OF this county,
that Of Abe May, at the age Of So
years. Up to a week before his
death the deceased was in his usual
health, strong vigorous and hearty,
when he was suddenly struck down
with spinal meningitis, from the
effects of which he rapidly grew
worse. Two days ago he became
unconscious, and continued SO, with
occasional lucid moments, to the
end, which occurred Tuesday morn
ing at about II o'clock. Every.
thing possible to prolong his life
was done, but little hope was en-
tertained from the first, as the dis
ease bafied the skill of physicians.
Uncle Abe" as he was famil-
iarly called, came to Lincoln
county about ~ years ago from
Missouri. He was a friend to all
and all were his friends. He
never, knowingly, did his fellow
mar an injury. He was a rare
combination of honesty, honor,
charity and friendship. More can
not be said of any man.
He leaves to mourn his memory
a wife and FIVE children. all of
whom are married. The children
are Silas May, Tucumcari; Mrs.
Frederick Phngsten and Mrs.
Albert Phngsten, Nogal; Mrs.
Charles Henley, Hondo, and Mrs.
John Grayson, Fort Stanton, and
all were notified in time to be at
their fathers bedside at the final
dissolution. There are also two
brothers living in the county, Miles
b. May, Nogal, and Martin May,
Bonito; also a sister, Mrs. Henry
Emerson, Nogal, besides a large
number of relatives throughout the
county.
The funeral took place at Angus
Wednesday afternoon, a large
crowd going from Captain, and the
remains were placed in their last
resting-place in the family plot in
the Angus cemetery. Rev. r. P.
Pope conducted the funeral service,
and in the vast crowd that had
gathered to pay the last sad tribute
of respect to departed worth there
was scarcely an eye but what was
filled with tears.
A good citizen, a true husband
and a kind and loving father has
gone to his reward, and his pleas
ant, smiling face will never be seen
of men. To the sorrowing wife
and fatherless children the News
extends sympathy Captain News.

the great cathedrals and given to sci
ence. letters and arts so many IL
lustr1ous names? A Catholic looks
upon the abortive efforts of Protest
ant churches to Evangelize as ridicu-
lous. OF all people in the world the
French are the last upon whom such
an attempt should be made. When
attempts by Protestant churches to
convert the Mexican Indians, who were
brought into the fold Of the Catholic
church centuries ago by French friars,
have miserably failed. why should sur
prise be expressed at the failure to UNI
dermine the faith of the Frenchman?
When Frenchman loses his faith he
becomes, not a Protestant, but an ag-
nostic.
Yes, the French Canadian is sweep
ing Northward and Westward through
Canada and carrying with him the
language and religion of his fathers,
but he is doing more. He is sweep
ing southwark into the New England
states and today there are French
Canadian towns and French Canadian
settlements throughout all the New
England states. Next to the Irish, the
French Canadian is the strongest
strain in New England today. The
Vermont, New Hampshire and Mas
sachusetts farms that have been aban-
doned by their Yankee owners are
being gradually taken up and made
productive by this thrifty French Can
adam. Within fifty years this inva-
sion Of the French Canadian has TAX
en- place in New England. He has
penetrated clear down into Rhode Is
land and Connecticut and he forms
one of the most substantial elements
in the population Of those states. So
far the onward march Of French in
Canada and in all Eastern states has
been racial. religious and economic
invasion. They have not attempted a
political predominence in either coun-
try although the present Canadian
Premier, Sir wilfred Laurier. is a
French Catholic. In the United States
the French divide up among the polit-
ical parties and as consequence the
great increase in their numerical
strength in New England in recent
years has had little effect on the po-
litical complexion of that section. They
have. however. added very materially
to the wealth Of the sections in which
they have settled.

THE AUTO AT WORK.

The sacrifice offered up every year
to the auto is in full swing. Every
morning and every evening the papers
contain a new grist of automobile ac-
cidents where people are either killed
or mangled. No effort seems to be
made to prevent the accidents or to
punish those responsible for them.
The real trouble is that those who
own autos belong to the class who are
most influential in every community
and that being the case Municipal Of
ficers and Judges are hard to find who
have the back bone necessary to make
an example. We are told that the au-
tomobile has come to stay; that it is a
step in the progress of the world; that
modern life in its necessities demand
greater risks, and those of US who
complain are told in substance that
we must look out for ourselves or stay
off the streets. 1t is not progress 1t
is not even civilized. The time will
come when all will wonder that there
ever existed time when public au-
thorities would allow these engines Of
destruction to crash along crowded
public thoroughfares at rates Of speed

John Murphy. general superintend-
ent of the Pittsburgh Railways COM
pany. has some strong opinions on
the matter of cigarets and whisky.
He claims that he has traced the in
crease to the use of liquor and to-
bacco; in consequence of which he has
set about to remove all men in his en-
ploy who are addicted to these habits
Il have been criticised" Mr.. Murphy

cigarets. but on the other hand have
the assurance of our division superin-
tendents. aided by my own observa-
tons. that persons addicted to the use
of cigarets. especially young men, are
the most careless in their duties and
less able to perform them than men
using liquor in moderation. may
also mention that in seventeen years
experience as manager of public utility

ranks of conductors and motormen to

hand. We are now going through a
Transformation period. Men who for
merly thought themselves Democrats
find that they are Republicans and
men whom the war and the recon-
struction period made Republicans find
that they are in fact Democrats. 1t is
a time when people are finding their
true political home. There is not so
much need for trying to find some
thing on which Democrats can agree
as there is for finding out who are
Democrats and what is a Democrat.
Mr.. O'Brien suggests an issue which
certainly has been and ought to be still
Democratic belief, but there are prom
inent so-called Democrats through
out the country who will not listen to
a tariff program. They have discov-
cred other panaceas and must be al
lowed to exploit them until such a
time as they become tired of their eff
forts. Real Democrats who are not
seeking office can abide the time when
there will be strong and real Demo-
cratic party, especially as long as the
Republican party continues to elect
Democratic Republicans to the Pres
idency.

Beware Of the Gloomy Mood.

Never permit yourself to make any
decision Of Importance while you arn
in a state Of depression. Never com.
nit the error of taking serious ster
while you are measuring life by stand
ards set up in the darkness Of an UNI
happy mind. Such standards are never
true, never just. The estimate you
make Of yourself. Of others and Of the
world while you are blinded by de-
spondency is a false estimate always.
The shapes you see are distorted
shapes. Your vision is at fault. The
only time you are capable Of true judg-

low, was clear and distinct, and both
utterance and action were quick. yet
beneath both lay an intensity of love
and reverence which thrilled in every
word and gesture No one could but
be moved at the sight of the bowed
head at the altar. weighed down with
cares Of all Christendom, as one tried
to realize what those brief sweet mo-
ments meant to the Vicar of Christ
as he held his Incarnate Lord within
his hands.
Nearly all in the chapel received
Holy Communion from the Holy
Father, who, contrary to the usages of
Bishops. allowed no one to kiss his
ring at the moment of communicat-
ing.
The Thanksgiving Mass was said
by one Of the Camerieri Segreti, and
through it the Holy Father knelt on
his prie-dieu, beside tn. altar. At the
close Of the second Mass His HoN-
ness advanced to the altar steps and
in a clear, ringing voice gave his
blessing. telling all present they were
granted a plenary indulgence. He left
as he came. passing down between the
two files Of kneeling figures, blessing
as he went His face Wore that grave,
kindly look and smile we all know so
we'll.
"One little incident marked his
egress. A lady, sitting in one of the
end benches had with her little girl,
a baby of about is months. The little
mite at the commencement Of the
Mass began to chatter and laugh, and
finally to cry, so her mother left the
place where she had been sitting and
went to a seat at the end Of the chapel
near the door, where she remained
during the rest Of the Mass. AS the
Sovereign Pontiff passed out he saw
the little one in its mothers arms.
His face lit up with a bright smile
and he stopped to pat the little cheek
and lay his hand in special benediction
on the tiny head. Il was only simple
act but it spoke volumes.
LAS We passed down the cleaning
marble staircase, through the Hall of
the Swiss. where their blue and red
silk banner swayed lazily in the warn,
breeze, out in the bright sunlit Piazza.
the thought of that quiet hour in the
little chapel above seemed to set a
seal on the JOY and grace of that
bright whitsuntide.'

TO OFFSET DIVORCE.
German Method Of Treating Quarrel
some People.

In some parts Of Germany in days
gone by when the relations of hus-
band and wife became strained, so to
speak-in other words. when each re-
turning day gave birth to new squab-
bles and the mans hand was as ready
as the woman's tongue-the couple
were brought before the magistrate,
who. after listening to recriminations,
ordered them to prepare for the or
deal by battle. The man was placed in
a cask, which was then nearly filled
with sand, so that he was covered up
to the waist. In some towns a pit was
kept handy for the purpose. When he
was thus half buried the man received
short stick for his right hand, while
his left hand was tied up across his
chest. He was thus one-armed and
could only deliver his blows if his OPP
ponent came near enough.
The lady put on a linen garment. the
right sleeve of which was heightened.
In the end was tied up a stone The
sleeve projected about twelve inches
beyond her hand. She had thus
formidable weapon, but in order to use
it she had to get close to her enemy.
Now. observe the situation and the
chances. If she succeeded in bringing
the stone down upon her husbands
head she might knock him senseless;
she might even brain him. But in or
der to do so she would expose herself
to the full blow Of his stick. The bat
tie might. in fact. be settled by single
assault. But mark the craftiness of
man. 1t was better to make woman
ridiculous than to knock her silly. The
husband. therefore, if he was phil
osopher. did not try to hit his wife.
He warded off her blows with his stick.
He tried to catch the sleeve upon his
stick Then the stone flew around and
round and the lady was caught She
could not move, and the victorious hus-
band dragged her. unwilling. head first
into his cask.
