departments Of the British army, as re
ported last week in parliament, have
caused public agitation that augars bad
Is for the war office.
Judging from recent disclosures, scarcely
any of the supplies for the army in South
Africa were secured ON business principles.
Specializing contractors are now known TO
have made hundreds of thousands of
pounds by reselling contracts. The OPP
position vainly endeavored 10 get details
the new contract for the new
supply OF meat announced by the govern
ment in the house OF commons.
The government successfully avoided
answering, but the Associated Press UNI
derstands that the contract in question
was first resold at 10000 pounds sterling
premium and then at 10000 pounds ster-
ling. while Cecil Rhodes and the DE Beers
group handed over 100000 pounds ster-
ling. and thus finally secured the privilege
of supplying the troops in South Africa
with fresh meat. These figures are ex-
peeted to be published here soon, and

Jacob T. Keller, Of Girard, Kans., is
veteran who saw long and hard serv-
ice in the Civil war with the One Hun

The real cause Of rheumatism is the
presence of acid in the blood, which ir-
ritates the sensitive tissues that unite
the joints and cover the muscles, thus
causing those indescribable fortunes
which rheumatic sufferers endure.

eral Bachelor SUPRA and Attorney Cen
eral Walser, Public Document 1899, Docu-
ment 8. p. 95; and as far as I am ad-
vised this administrative construction of
the constitution has, until recently been
accepted as the correct Interpretation of
the constitution.
Following the paragraph herein before
cited from King VS.. Hunton, supra, Mr..
Justice Reade, speaking for the Supreme
Court of our State, says: at is not
doubted, however, that the State may
tax any other property. the object being
revenue and not the distinction of the
office. But the people have been so jeal-
Gus even of this power that it is provi
ded in the constitution, that the salaries
of the most important officials shall not
be altered during their term of office,
and this is understood to exempt their
salaries from taxation. because to tax is
to diminish, or it may be to destroy"
The learned justice was considering the
question, How far an office or an Off
Ger may be taxed" and the paragraph,
viewed in its sitting, has more than the
force of a mere dictum.f Chancellor Kent
says: ''We took essentially to the State
courts for protection. They touch in
their operation, every creed of human
sympathy and control our destinies 1t
is their province to reward and to pun
ish. Their blessings and theirterrors
will accompany us to the freside and
in the constant activity before the public
eye"
In view of these important functions
abiding in our judicial tribunals, We must
conclude, that when the people in conven
ton assembled declared that the sala
ries of the judges should not be dimin-
ished during their continuance n office,
they meant to withdraw from taxation,
either directly or indirectly, such sala-
ries. because the power to tax is to di-
minish or it may be. to destroy"
Very respectfully,
ROBT. D. GILMER,
Attorney General.

Castro in a White Heat.
(By the Associated Press.)

Caracas, Dec. 1S.-Early this morning
the correspondent here of the Associated
Press saw President Castro and ques-
toned him regarding the report pub
lished in the United States that the
Anglo German ultimatum had been ac
cepted by Venezuela. The President be-
came furious with rage and said there
was no truth in the report. He added;
THE acceptance of an ultimatum can
not be coupled with arbitration. Besides
the Anglo-German ultimatum is not,
properly speaking, an ultimatum.'
When asked if it was true that Vene
zuela was taking diplomatic steps to ar
range for arbitration and that arrange
ments in this connection were we'll ad-
Vanced, President Castro remarked:
THE government of Venezuela does
not propose to determine on any steps,
while the proposition for arbitration that
the legation of the United States was
charged to present to Great Britain and
Germany remains unanswered"
