Manila.-The Atlantic battleship

which swept Manila bay for twelve
hours and did much damage ashore

broke over the bay suddenly and I'M
expectedly at noon. 1t was impossi-
BILE to hoist the cutters and launches
belonging to the fleet because of the
danger of smashing them against the
steel sides of the battleships, and the

TAXPAYER FEELS HIS DIGNITY.
Effect Of Ownership Of Property lie to
Make Better Citizen.

Many a time" said a policeman in
the southern part Of the city, when
arresting men, especially intoxicated
men, have been told by my prisoner
that he was a taxpayer and that he
helped pay my wages.
Il always regarded this sort of back
talk as merely drunken insolence, and
never paid much attention to It until
about year ago, when I bought a
house and lot and became myself q
taxpayer. l had always rented be-
fore and never gave a thought to
taxes, but as soon as / moved into my
own house | began to appreciate the
feelings of the men who resented ar
rest because they paid taxes. There
is certainly considerable addition to
the dignity of the man who helps sup
port the government. He feels a de-
gree of responsibility that a renter or
roomer never understands, and my
Idea is that every man in the country
ought to become a taxpayer as soon
rs he can and the mere fact that he
does help to support the government
and bears his share of the expense,
makes him a better citizen. Habitu-
al criminals, excepting, of course, high
inanclers, are rarely taxpayers They
know they may have to run any day
and perhaps never come back, so
they do not buy real estate, but are
roomers and dodgers all their lives. -
