AMERICAN FLEET
AROUND WORLD
Record-Breaking Voyage Ends
Off Hampton Roads, Total
Distance 1897 Miles

Old Point Comfort. Va. Feb. 22.
Enthusiastically welcomed by the
mad blowing of the whistler of a
score of naval vessel and a hundred
or more other ships, this only to be
drowned out by the thunderOuS sal
uting of twenty one guns from each
of the sixteen battleships in column,
Americas record-breaking fleet
sailed majeshically into Hampton
Roads toe ay.
It's was the fleet homecoming af-
ter its circmnavigation o. the globe
the most remarkable continuous
voyage ever made by the warships
of any navy.
President Roosevelt, who was the
last to bid the fleet Godspeed when
it left Hampton Roads Dec. 16, 1907,
was the first to greet it upon its re-
turn.
When the fleet had dropped an
chor IN the Roads just above historic
old Fort Monroe, the Mayf1ower
steamed in among them and Admiral
Sperry. the cOmmander-in-chief, and
his flag officers and ship captians
were received on board by the pres
ident. All, especially the command
er-in-chief, were warmly congratu-
lated upon the safe completion of
their unprecedented cruise.
The successful comletiOn of the
cruise without noteworthy accident
or untoward Incident, from either a
naval or political point of view, is
regarded by all nations as history
making. Never befO has any bat
tie command made such long and
practically continuous voyage New
er before has any fleet circumnavi-
gated the globe, whether In one or
separate voyages. Never before
has any armada of any of the coun-
tries of the world visited so many
ports, at such great distances, in so
many councries, and under so many
flags. And never was any naval
command received with such univer-
sal manifestations of friendly feel
ing, as marked the progress of the
American fleet at every one of its
two-score stops on the cruise around
the world.

ANTI=TREATING,
ANTI=CIGARETTE
End Of Session Draws Near, Leg.
islators Busy With New
Laws

Pierre, Feb. lS.-The house, with
only four votes against passed the
bill absolutely prohibiting the keep
ing of cigarettes or 'maklnS" in the
state, and senate will have another
opportunity to pass upon one of the
house moral measures.
The bills making bondsmen on a
saloon bond liable for damage judg-
ments taken against the saloonkeep-
er, passed.
The house put in the afternoon in
a committee of the whole on the
bank deposit insurance bill. In COM
mittee the discussion was free and
open and was taken advantage of by
most of the members on different
propositions involved and in the
whole procedure only one man ad-
mltted that he was ignorant on the
banking business. The bill was
finally adopted and passed, making
1t voluntary association and limiting
insurance to deposits on which not
more than four per cent interest was
paid, and deposit secured by offer
ing greater rate of interest to be at
risk of depoSitor just as at present.
MANY other restrictions were placed
on banks which enter association
and bill passed is d far different
measure than the Oklahoma law.
The senate deadlocked over the
anti-treating bill. A conference be-
tween the senate and thd house fail
ed to agree, but a second conference
arrived at an agreement. The SEN
ate, however, referred the report IF
the conferees back for further con-
sideration.
Makes Ten Circuits
Pierre, Feb. % For the first
time in the history of the state a

without fight in the legislature,
the new circuit being the tenth,
which has been cut off the northern

Judge Boucher was elected as
Judge of the sixth circuit court and
will remove from the territory cut
off, to this city, to be centrally locat-
ed IN regard to points in the sixth
circuit as it remains.

N FAVOR or NEW COUNTIES.

II IS encouraging TO note that he
campaign IN favor Of e counties IL
being renewed In tho legislature With
Increased vigor. The un~icldy size
OF our counties has done much TO re-
tard the settlement ana development
of the territory. With counties from
four TO ten times az big as they ought
10 be, a very large portion Of each
Is left with practically no local gov
e%rnni~nt. and the better and more de-
sirablo class OF immigrants cannot be
induced to settle where such condi-
lions prevail. Whenever the people
of any section not loss than twenty
four miles square want a new county
they ought to have II, provided Its or
g%anizntion docs not reduce any other
oonnty to less than twcnty-four miles
square. That was the size adopted by
the United States government IN lay
ing out all the public lands OF the
great western suites. and was the size
choscn as the best by the republic OF
Texas when Il was annexed TO the
United states and that area ~ great
enough to give the best local gov
ornment anywhere.
The main argument in favor OF
statehood IN equally cogent In favor
OF tho small county-local self gov
eminent. In many Of the counties OF
New Mexico, as they exist today, the
people living ON the outskirts have
lust about the same degree OF influ-
enco in the affairs of tho county that
me people of the territory have IN the
affairs OF the nation. They are pfac-
tically disfranchiscd, and are forced
to contribute To the support Of q lo-
cal government from which they de-
rive no advantage.
