Honors in St. Paul's Cathedral
in London.

LONDON, November 19, 1912 pm
The body of Field Marshal Lord
Roberts was borne on a gun carriage
today to it's last resting place In st.
PauPs Cathedral. The streets were
lined with troops, while hundreds OF
thousands of civilians stood with barred
heads in a cold rain as the funeral
cortege went by. The cortege reached
st. Pauls at noon. where funeral serv-
ices were held before a reverent
throng, including King George. The
body will be inferred alongside the
remains of Wellington, Nelson. Wolse-
ley and other famous Britons.
Lord Roberts died from natural
causes last week at the headquarters
of the British army in France. He was
eighty-two years of age. The body was
returned to England yesterday, and
last night it lay in his residence at
Ascot, where brief services attended
by Lady Roberts and her daughters
were held. THIS morning the coffin was
brought to London for public funeral.

Existing Excess Baggage Rates Up
held by I, C. c., However.

Existing excess baggage rates were
held by the interstate commerce COM
mission today to be not unreasonable.
Charges, however. for baggage of ex-
cess value were held to be excessive,
and rate was established by the COM
mission at 10 cents for each 500. or
fraction thereof, above the agreed-upon
maximum value. The minimum charge
for increased valuation will be 10
cents.
The case, brought to the commission
originally by the national baggage
committee. representing numerous
commercial organizations and travelling
men, was directed against practically
all railroad lines.

Senator Lee has frankly told his
friends in Maryland that he will not
recommend to any of these positions
men who were hostile to President Will
son prior to the Baltimore convention
and who are yet recognized as anti
Wilson democrats. He does not re-
gard it as necessary to enter into any
agreement with Senator Smith and is
willing to leave the decision on patron
age matters to President Wilson.
Senator Lee said today that he has no
idea when the President will act on the
recommendations. but he would like to
see democrats filling the good positions
in that state.
Does Not Expect Much.
Senator Smith is not understood to
have submitted his entire slate to
President Wilson. He is said not to
expect d large share Of the patronage,
but is particularly interested In hav-
ing his close friend, Samuel X. Dennis

attorney. He also favors William P.
Ryan of Baltimore for collector of the

Salute of Nineteen Guns.
A salute of nineteen guns was fired
as the funeral procession left the rail-
road station. Traffic was suspended
along the route and the crowds stood
in absolute silence. Long before the
| time fixed for the funeral services
the vast cathedral was filed.
King George was attired in khaki,
the day uniform of field
marshal, as were all of the active Of
| hcers in attendance, including Lord
Kitchener.
| The congregation comprised repre-
sentatives of the diplomatic service and

and literature, in the learned profess

Service Extremely Brief.
! The service, which was extremely
brief, had been especially shortened in
view of the preliminary services at
the Roberts home at Ascot.
| The last act, after the blessing had
| been given by the Archbishop of Can
terbury, was the proclamation of the

king at arms. Then followed Chopin's
funeral march. and as the trumpeters

midst of the turmoil and hurly-burly
of which the blatant demagogues and
noisy charlatan holds the public ear
and attracts the public eye. From the
sight and sound of these cheap and
shallow political quacks and speech
makers it is an immense relief to turn
to the quiet contemplation of the
deeds and eloquence of Abraham Lin
coin; to reflect upon his wise coun
sci. to mediate upon the memory OF
so much modesty, so much charity, SC
much patriotism, so much devotion to
the institutions of our wise and good
forefathers and so much greatness OF
thought and deed and strife and vic.
tory, of which the loud renown shall
never cease to echo across the world. y
Yes. it was lofty tribute which the
walls of Oxford heard from the lips oil
that venerable seat of learning. And
it was tribute none too lofty and
highly and greatly deserved.

Highest Tax Levy i'm Years.

The total 1913 tax levy of the State
of Washington and all its political
subdivisions, payable this year, is $685.
273 ,35113, the State Tax Commission
shows in a statement just issued, after
receiving reports from all counties.
This is by far the largest levy ever
made in the state, exceeding by 81
06S $50 or % per cent that of the pre-
vious year About half of the increase
is caused by the increase in state
taxes. the remainder by increases in
expenditures of counties. cities and
school districts.
A table prepared by the Tax Com
mission gives comparison of the
levies in the state and the assessed
valuation for all years from 1891 to
the present. In 1891, the taxes We're
$4.706,991, and assessed valuation of
all property was 1891, 031 .039.
| The present taxes represent an in
crease of ia per cent over 1891 and
the present valuation $1,014.475,021 is
only POO per cent greater than in 1891,
| indicating that during the % years
taxes have increased at between three
and four times the rate of the value
of property.
The average rate of levy for the
entire state is now 1913 mills on 81 of
assessed valuation. Reduced to an
actual valuation basis, however, taxes
amount to 1887 mills as against 1906
mills of a year ago.
The total levies against the prop
erty of each county in the state for
all purposes and the average rate of
levy in mills is shown in the follow
ing table:

Small Business.

The county commissioners after
a year of wrangling, on Saturday
allowed the claims of Sheriff Thorn
as three deputies, and at the same
time ordered his force cut down tn
two deputies with salary of $50
per month each. This looks very
much like petty spite and animosl-
ty on the part of the commission
ers. Any one with the least knowl'
edge of the duties of county offtcl-
ais is perfectly well aware that
the chief deputy of the sheriff. OF
flee is entitled to more pay than al
most any other emplOye. He is en-
titled TO more because his duties
are more exactins and hazardous
and carry with them a greater re-
sponsibilitY. The commissioners ac-
ton would appear to indicate that
the petty policy that has caused 81
much trouble. and unnecessary eX-
pense to the county is to be con
tinued. Evidently, somebody Is
still after Flannagan's goat. The
chief deputy is chairman of the DEM
ocratic county central committee
and possibly there's the rub.
The county auditor employs three
deputies, two salaried at 500 and
one at SIS per month; Miss Rogers
in the treasurer's office has fou,
deputies, one at $lOO. one at $50
and two at $50 each; and the coun-
ty assessor has two deputies, each
of whom gets 500 per month.
The county commissioners are re-
ceiving $50 Il month from The
county. Much of their time is 81
ven to private affairs, and they
draw their SIS per day for many
days taken up entirely with pri-
vate business. And yet they ASK
the deputies in the sheriff's office
to give all their time to the county
for $50 per month. If the com
missiOners had been parsuing pc.
icy of retrenchment their actor
might have semblance of consist
ency but in view of the Grass eX
travagance with which the affairs
of this county have been admins
tered during the past year, Il
looks much more like petty ant
unwarranted spite work.

A High Tribute to Lincoln.

1t was high tribute which the
Chancellor of Oxford paid when he
declared to the assembled students OF
that ancient and renowned seat of En-
glish learning that the supreme mas
ter of modern elOquence was Abra-
ham Lincoln. Yet it was tribute de-
served.
I'm a time when many men are yet
vigorous who looked upon the living
face of the Great President. while
they themselves were in the mid-May
and flourish of their young manhood,
we are still too close to Abraham Lin
coin to form an impartial estimate of
his powers and of his genius. We
cannot see him through those imper-
sonal eyes with which the historians
of times to come will measure his just
proportions to other great men and
to the ages. That noble figure of his
we view only through the mist of
tears and the binding light of his pa
thetic martyrdom.
"Yet it may be confidently predict
ed that our greatest man grows with
the passing of the years and that the
memory of his eloquence, his serene
courage, his patience. his modesty. his
devotion. his selfless magnanimity, his
far-seeing and sure-footed judgment.
