live languagea have been ' neglected for no
other reason than lack of demand. Ciech
language, literature and history ar sus
ceptible to development as other, but re
member that Cech language, literature
and history ar on th way from a second
revival. The Csech language was at Its
prime before the Battle of White Moun
tains in 1830, after which Its book of learn
Ing, literature, history and philosophy war
condemned to be burned by the victor.
"The Labyrinth of the World," by Come-
nlus. la a type of that age and Is classed
as on of the four classics of ths world.
All languages are prone to advancement.
but Csech, as you find by study, has made
more wonderful advancement for ths sec
ond epoch and we, as students of th
university, desire to be Instructed In- It
upon basis with other Instruction.

Taxation of Mortcaaes.
VHRDON. Neb., January U.To the Edi
tor of Th Bee: You reply to my communt
cation regarding the assessing of Incum
be red real estate by admitting that it costa
just o much to protect incumbered aa un
Incumbered realty but you claim that by
Assessing th Incumberanc w get the
same tax from one class as w do from
th other. .You seem to overlook th fact
that th Incumberance create an additional
burden on th law. If It dot not. It surely
should not be ta.jed. Again, if real prop
.irty should not be taxed, because th holder
owes for a portion or all of it, why should
personal property be taxed when the holder
owes for It? Apply this to ths railroads.
I sea by statistical abstract for 1D04 that
about 66 per cent of their capitalisation la
covered by bonda and floating debt. It
reema to me to be just aa fair to permit
them to deduct their debta from their aeaeta
aa for owner, of realty to do so
A word regarding the taxing of railroad
terminals: There seems to be a great dlf
Acuity between th Ideas expressed In the
Falls City Tribune of December K 1906,
and thgse of Th Bee, and of George Berge
In last week' Nebraska Independent. Th
plan as proposed by the Tribune, would, un
doubtedly, result In less taxra by the rail
roe da The on outlined by Th Bee and
Berge would Increase their .taxes by the
mount they would and should pay for the
local protection they receive in both cities
And towns from th fir snd polios depart
ments. t Do not think I am advocating th a Mass
ing of th full value of thtlr side-tracks,
machine shops, round house, depots, etc.
Ts Illustrate: Tb 100 miles of railroad la
Omaha ar probably Increased In value
$3,00 per mil beoaus these terminal values
are added to th value of th main line,
which I already assessed. Th above
amount when correctly ascertained ahould
be deducted. My friend may ask why this
plan of each locality assessing the road ac
rurding to Its valus In that Immediate local
ity Is not ths correct one. Answering. I
will say there Is not a road In ths state
that has any immediate local value. Tak
permanently on rail from the C. V N.
track between Salem and Rulo aad the
t3ug.ee bridge at Rulo, one-half In Richard
on county, N.braaka. would not be worth
a dollar, except to tear down.
Tbs abov may sound Strang to those
who know m. My personal interest la to
deduct incumbrance from realty, and It
used to be said I always was opposed to
doing fairly by tb railroad from a selfish
viewpoint. Th greatest good caa cams
only by perpetuating aad Improving our
present form of government. This can
only be dona by dealing fairly by all In
terfile and by th strictest enforcement
of sll laws. A good dtiaen will obey th.
laws. Why should not a bad ana be eom

LINCOLN. Jan. 28,-To the Editor of The
Bee: For many years past some news
papers of this country have at Intervals
published telegraph dispatches purporting
to come from authoritative sources In
Rome. In regard to th so-called Bonacum
Murphy controversy.
For several years I have repeatedly called
the attention of your readers to the fact
that no credence should be given to such
dispatches. Thess pseudo-Roman telegrams
never saw Rome, as they originated, not
In Rome, but here In the United States.
Yesterday's telegram ts a word for word
copy of another telegram purporting to
come from Rome and besrlng the data of
July It . 1906, excepting the following
words: "Bishop Bonacum has arrived
here" (Rome). (See Omaha World-Hernld
of July It 1905). Th same old tricksters
corns up once more to serve the public
with the same dose of deception. But their
tricks ar wall known to the bishops and a
great majority of the pnests of this coup
try.. These tricksters have been unmasked
many tlmea and have never dared to an
swer my letters given to the public press.
. Time hss proved my assertions, which.
utter all, are based on offlolaV documents
received from Rome. I have time and
again asserted that aa far as Rome Is con
cerned the Murphy case Is closed, never
to be reopened. The supreme authority
in thorhurch vested the right reverened
bishop with special and plenary powers to
deal with ths Insurgent priest. Ths bishop
exercised tho. powers and the priest was
condemned. This priest attempted to ap
peal to Rome three times, snd three times
Rome rejected his appeal. As the priest
did not aubmlt, consequently be became
schismatic. The case, then, Is finished as
far as the church Is concerned. It only
remains to be seen whether the courts of
Nebraska will protect the Catholic church
In Its property rights. Thus far they hare
failed to do so, snd at Beward ths strange
spectacle Is presented of six schismatic
families, headed by a schismatic and ex
communicated priest, holding the church
property snd forcing the congregation to
worship In a public hall.
Bishop Bonacum has gone to Rome.
Everybody knows that. Our old tricksters
do too, and they could not resist the temp
tation to resort to their old tricks. They
say that the Murphy case Is undergoing
a new phase. No, sir! Rome has spoken
once. The priest must bow and comply
with her decision. That's all.
Bishop Bonacum Is gone to Rome not on
sccount of that schismatic priest, but to
make his ad llmlna visit. Kvery Catholic
bishop must go to Rome to pay such visit.
Ad llmlna vlsltatlo means that svery Cath
olic bishop must go to Rome to pay the
trlbuto sod homage du to th head of
Christendom. The Italian, Spanish and
French bishops must go svery three years.
Ths German bishops must go every flys
years, the American bishops, on account of
th great distance, Jiust go every ten year.
Bishop Bonacum has not been in Rome for
ths last ten years, consequently be would
not fulfil his sacred duty had bs not gone
this year to th Eternal City. These dis
patches, than, a re misleading and are sent
out to influence first of all th action of th
civil courts of Nebraska, leading them to
believe that Roma has not passed judgment
oa the case, and. secondly, to keep ths mis
guided followers of ths schismatic priest
from falling awsy from him entirely.
Before 1 flnsh, permit me to say, first,
that th American consul at Rome has
never, and can nav.r, Interfere In this
tlmea lo Influence Him;" second, that the
late lamented Edward Rose water of The
Omaha Bee, while attending the Interna
tional Postal conference, held in Roma last
year, received a dlppatcH from Murphy of
Seward asking him to us his Influence in
Murphy's behalf, but that fair minded gen
tleman refused to do anything for the
schismatic priest Third, that Veccla Is
not a manager, as the so-called dispatch
claims, but a monslgnor1 of the CithoKo
church, with whom I am personally ac
quainted. This shows the supine ignor
ance of our tricksters In Roman affairs,
and while they want their patient readers
to swallow their patent medicine, -1 feel
more than ever obliged to exclaim em
phatically: "All these dispatches are m th
ing but lies, lies, lies." Yours respectfully,
DR. OEORGE AOIUS.
(Dr. Aglus Is secretary to Bishop Bent
cum and chancellor ot ths diocese of Lin
coln.) ' A Correct lea.
OMAHA, Jan. M. To the Editor of Th
Bee: In my communication relating to
the taxation of mortgages, published in
Th Bea of January 28, ths next to th
last sentence was: To Allow a debtor to
deduct his debt from the valus of his per.
sonal property and also from the value
of his teal estate would be double exemp
tion, but Instead tot ths word exemption
ths word taxation was printed, conveying
a meaning the opposlts of ths correct one.

Mrs. D. B. Wells delivered the last of a
series of lectures Saturday afternoon at
the Flrat Presbyterian church cn "The
Island World of I he Pacific," and was
greeted by sn Interested audience. For her
final lecture Mrs. Wells tock the subject
of "The Philippines." amplifying the dis
course with many statistics as to the popu
lation, heathen and Christian, of this large
group of Islands. In this connection shs
sold:
"This group, composed of over 8,0)0
Islands and only 1,000 of which are nimei,
Is situated 5.500 miles west of Hawaii and
600 miles off ths coast of China. The larg
est island is Luzon, with an area equalling
that of Pennsylvania. The combined area
of the Islands Is 12.000 square miles and
they are all mountainous, densely wooded,
volcanic In origin, with a wealth of ver
dure, frultuge and color belonging es
sentially to ths tropics. The resources of
this island empire sr very great, but un
developed. The climate I of many va
rieties and more or less trying to the un
acclimated American.
"The native population is confined to
three general classes, the Moras, Negritos
and the Igorrotes. sll of whom are mora
or loss uncivilized. The Mores lean t iwa'd
th Mohammedan faith, but many of them,
and also of th other native tribe, have
been converted by th Catholic and ether
missionaries. Tb priests having been in
th Islands for years have naturally con
verted many of fho natives and that de
nominate n is ths strongest In ths Islam's.
"Ths natives, as a rule, are of a belliger
ent disposition and wara, Insurrection, and
petty disturbances of a civil nature have
beenever present In th Islands."

An Irishman having been told thit mar
riages were mad In heaven felt som.
doubts oa th subject, aad taking pencil

"Though matches ars all mad. In heaven,

And then they ar Lucifer matches."

ling directly to the tosst he declared that
Masonry has steed for two great factors la
human life tolerance snd a virtue de
parture from which ha done more to bring
suffering upon earth than any other thing;,
and the grand lodge of Nebraska ..as ths
proud record of upholding these two great
virtues.
H. C. Brome was to havs responded ta
the toast, "The Trowel," one of the sym
bols of the order. He was unable to speak
and the toast was passed for an Impromptu
address by George W. Llnlnger. Ths
speaker referred to his Investigation of
Masonry on four continents nnd that hs
had proved to his own satisfaction the con
nection of the present society,. . not
only to the building of King Solomon's tem
ple, but to Egypt centuries before the tern- '
pie was built. He told cf hla visit to other
grand Jurisdictions and the warm receptloa
he had recelced, showing that Masonry fa
universal In Its application. All are work
ing for the brotherhood of man, for reel
Masonry means the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man. Masonry and rw
liglon have gone hand In hand through all
ths sges. The 'speaker then gave a brief
history cf the movement for a Nohraska
Masonic home, ending with its complete
success.
Rev. A. B. C. Clarke responded to tha
