PUBLIC OPINION.
Editor Evening News:

Editor Evening News:
] noticed Il small paragraph in your
paper, relating TO the way the fourth
ward was run on election day, by a
Mr.. 10th. Now, l would like to ans
wer him through your paper. First,
he says that the place vas TOO small,
and secondly, he says that they chal-
lenged people who have been living
here for fifteen or twenty years, and,
last of all. the slowness of the board.
Now. first, | will say if he will take
the trouble TO look at section s, 307,
he will find that we have nothing to
do with selecting the place of voting.
He will find that it is the duty of the
township and municipal clerks to see
that they have n decent place and
large enough for the voters to vote
in.
Then he speaks about people being
challenged | want TO tell him or any
body else that no man could find
such names and spell them correctly
such as they have in'the fourth ward.
That is the foreign element. Posi-
bly, a few could such as t~imekeepers,
who have the pleasure of keeping
them every day, but people of the
fourth ward in general could not.
We challenged because we had that
privilege and because it was our duty
to keep things straight. /, for one,
stopped a man who had voted once
and was in there again. And | or
dered him out. l had a better priv
ilege than that if ! wanted too, but
ignorant people like him are TO be
guarded against by the board and
save the trouble of the laws inter-
ference.
| like to be fair with all, but
don't like to have people from every
district in the city tell us our duty
such as occurred in the fourth that
day.
Then he says that we were slow.
Possibly sc. I'M q new man at the
polls, but ] did my best and think
everyone else did the same. But,
Mr.. 10th, if it be you who wrote that
letter Cbut / doubt 1t much), you
have very little to do. There are
things more important outside the
polls than there are in, such as hir-
ing hotels, giving IL tickets and
having people come in the polls and
want TO cast the ticket in the box
without going to the bother or even
putting them in envelopes, such was
the cast
I defy anybody to do better.
Yours,
GEO. w. JOLLY.

DECIDED THAT STOCK
OF COMPANY UNTAXABLE,

TRENTON, Nov. 14:-The SUI
preme court, in an opinion OF Justice
Dixon, held yesterday that under the
Corporation Tax act of 1901, stock
owned by the company which issued
1t should not be considered in deter
mining the amount of the franchise
tax or license fee of the corporation.
The question was raised by the
KnickerbockeP Investment Company
in c%erterori proceedings against the
State Board of Assessors.
The Knickerbocker company is
sued $685. 900 of stock to the Cazen-
owe Champaign Company, and later
$4,000 of this stock was returned
to the Knickerbocker company and
held as treasury stock. The fran
chise tax act levies a tax on the basis
of the amount of stock (issued and
outstanding).
The state board commended that all
stock, unless actually retired, as pro-
vided by section 20 of the act, is
issued and outstanding. Justice
Dixon holds that stock so retired
ceases to be stock, and is therefore
not a factor in the case. He con-
strues the word outstanding to apply
to stock held by a person or corpora
ton other than the company Issuing
II. The decision will, it is said, re-
duce the taxes of many New Jersey
corporations heretofore taxed on
treasury stock.

CANAL ZONE INSPIRATION.
Energetic Americans Are Held Up
as Example for Panamans
to Follow.

While isthmians are 10th to receive
inspiration and take example from a
race in whose spirit and character
there is more life and energy than
their cwn--they must remain as a dead
people, says the Panama Journal.
They have yet to learn the advantages
of the injection of new blood and
the adoption of new ideas-such a.
have transformed aenemic people into
great. progressive nations.
The government of the canal zone
is teaching the inhabitants of the STRIP
to respect the law and reform to mod,
ern customs. The impulse given there
to public instruction is likewise to be
admired.
To teach is to redeem, and the 18th.
milan can be redeemed through the alb
sorption of whatever may be good in
the examples set us by the progressive
energetic American.
The part taken by the United State;
in sympathy with our movement fol
independence was n which com
mands II gratitude. and. as we OBJ.
serve the gradual change going on
within the canal zone. and note the
impression made upon our own peo-
pie by the p~raiseworthy examples set
by the American authorities there, we
are convinced that the near future will
mark an important period of trans
formation in the history of the 18th.

CHURCH AND PASTOR
DIE AT SAME TIME.
The Rev. Dr.. Whitaker Preacher
and Congregation He Follows
Wife TO Grave.

NORWOOD. Nov. 14;--Because of
talter, whose funeral took place yes
terday. the doors of the pretty little
Episcopal chapel in one of the pic
turesque streets of Norwood were
not unlocked Sunday. The autumn
leaves which drifted upon its steps
in masses of crimson and golden
brown were not brushed away. All
was quiet and undisturbed.
For several years Mr.. Whitaker
has been the pastor and his wife has
been the congregation of the church,
the pastor devoted his life to the
work and making a vain struggle to
carry out a religious obligation.
When his wife died he became pas
tor and congregation both.
The church was built by President
Oakley of the Citizens National Bank
of New York Il long time ago, when
the Oakleys made Norwood their
summer home. II cost $4,000. The
Rev. Mr.. Whitaker was made its pas
tor, and the Oakleys established a
trust fund of $500 a year, until his
death, or as long as services were
held regularly in the church.
Shortly after the building was con-
structed the Oakleys moved from
Norwood and the residents of the
town began to lose interest in their
bequest. For some reason or other
Mr.. Whitaker did not attract a con-
gregation, and one after the other
his following fell away until there
were only some four or five persons
scattered about the church at the
Sunday service. Then these, too, to
whom Mr.. Whitaker looked for SYM
pathy In his work, began to come
less and less regularly, and finally
stopped coming altogether. Mr..
Whitaker felt this blow keenly, al
though he kept bravely on, and every
Sunday he and his wife worshipped
in the chapel alone, the clergyman
reading the service and his wife play
ing the organ and making the re-
sponses when the congregation should
be heard from.
When the service vas ended the
two, with bowed heads, unmindful of
their friendless condition. would
walk together to the parsonage.
This lasted for several months,
when one Sunday morning Mrs. Whit
taker was taken i'll and shortly after
ward died.
Then the rector, with shoulders
slightly more bent than before and
with rapidly whitening locks, went
to worship alone, bravely determined
to do his share to the end. raising a
thin, quavering voice in song and
preaching to empty pews.
A week ago Mr.. Whitaker was
stricken down with a bad case of ty-
phoid fever and on Friday passed
away. The body of this old pastor,
faithful until death, was carried TO
Albany today, where it was laid be-
side that of his wife.

ties had to be surmounted, which

lime can be produced more
