Khaki in Use Sixty Years

1t is now just sixty years since the
khaki uniform was first introduced
into the British army, being worn by
the Punjab frontier force in 1S49. The
mut1ny spread its use, and it became
general in India during the Afghan
war. Though still further employed
in the SouGan campaign, it was not
until t'a So"th Afric2n war that

making speeches that take pretty
well with the people; with Rip

nounce his candidacy; with w.
E. Lee almost on the verge of
jumping into the fray; to say
nothing of Bob Dunn and vari-
Gus and sundry other well known
patriots; the next republican
state convention bids fair to be
interesting, to say the least. If
things are handled right the
republicans can and will elect
the next governor; if not, then

Attorney Frank B. Kellogg's
success in handling the Standard
Oil case may land him in the
United States Senate. He has
already been mentioned as a pos

now that he has won his spurs

his candidacy is a sure one. Mr..

And now they are talking
about Judge Walter H. Sanborn
of St. Paul for the U. S. supreme
bench. Judge Sanborn is a very
able jurist and has had many
years of experience on the bench.
His connection with the recent
decision in the Standard oil case
has given fresh impetus to the
campaign to place him on the
supreme ench. President
Taft could not do better than
honor the Minnesotan with the
appointment.

W. E. McEwen, former state
boiler inspector, in an interview
relative to Gov. Eberhart's pro-
position to abolish oil and boiler
inspectors, remarked that the
oil inspection has saved many
lives. Yes, it has saved the
lives of about five hundred de-
putty inspectors who are in it for
what there is in it for them.
But Mr.. Even didn't say that.
Though, in fact he didn't have
to; the people know it all right.

Late in the afternoon the jury

the whole object of the suit was to get

laid particular stress on the fact that

TAFT AN 0PTIMIST AS TO
POPULAR GOVERNMENT.
President so Declares Himself in
Berkeley Speech.

BERKELEY, Cal, Oct. 5.-Presdent
Taft arrived on the Oakland shore of
San Francisco bay today to find a
typical coast fog hanging over the
water and the bay shrouded in a cloak
of gray mist From Oakland the Pres
ident's train was taken direct to Berke-
ley.
Mr.. Taft spoke briefly. He said that
when his itinerary was being arranged
for his present trip he had insited that
Berkeley should be included. The Presl-
dents voice, which was so hoarse at
Sacramento last night that he could
talk only with diBculty,, had greatly
improved, and there was but the Slight
est huskiness in it when the President
began to speak in the Berkeley fog.
The President referred to the higher
criticism and ideals that came from the
declaring himself to be an
optimist as to popular government
But things look different, some
times" he added, ITO the engineer at
the throttle than they do to the pro-
fessor in his university chair or to the
editor in his sanctun. Government is
a compromise and we must try to get
the best we can out of it. In other
words, we must play the game The
man who is in the popular government
must take what the popular govern
ment gives him until he can teach the
people better way. If they will not
go where he would lead them. hen he
must play ball with them and follow

BANKS PLAN WAR
ON HIGH TAXATION
OF CIRCULATION
National Institutions in This
City Advise Stockholders
Against Payment.
NOT AN ASSET, BUT
LIABILITY, Is CLAIM
Charged Against Us as Soon as
1t Is Issued, One Presi-
dent Declares.

Don't pay any taxes on bank stock
until you hear from u.s." is the tenor of
q. notice sent out BY some of the ma
tional banks in Newark during the past
week. That means that the fight
against the taxation of the circulation
of national banks is going to be carried
to the bitter end.
Quietly the banks got together and
framed up notice to send to their
stockholders, giving the financial stand
ing of the bank at the time the notice
was sent out and also giving a state
menti of what the different banks call
their taxable assets. The statement
tells the stockholders what the bank
figures they should be assessed on their
holdings and advises that If assessed
at greater value than the one given
by the bank payment of taxes be With
held until such time as the case has
been threshed out in the court
The question of taxation is one that
has many ramifieations, but the real
one right now is whether the circula-
ton of a bank-that being the money
issued by a bank and protected by gov
ernment securities deposited in the
United States treasury in Washington
is taxable under State or local laws.
The banks claim it is not. The tax
commissioners say 1t is. That Is the
hitch right now. Both sides think they
VIII win out in the case now pending.
'The circulation of bank is not aE
asset il is a liability, as it is charged
against the bank as soon as It IS issued.
The liability is protected by the deposit
ing Of government bonds in the United
States treasury in Washington. There
| is no possible reason why the circula-
tion Of bank should be called an
asset"
! That was the view of the president
of one OF the largest national banks in
Newark today, and was borne out by
the following story that came from
another bank:
"A man came to this bank and gave
his check for $4,000 in currency. He
needed the cash to close a real estate
deal. The bank had just received that
amount or new bills direct from the
treasury department in Washington

Analysis Shows StryCh-
nine in Bottle OF Beer
Both Drank.
EDWARD PROVOST AND
HOUSEKEEPER VICTIMS
Story OF Neighbors Adds Mys.
terry to Case, and Inyestiga.
ti0n Is Being Made.
Especial to the Newark star

PATERSON, Oct. County Ply
sician Armstrong is today conducting
an investigation into the mysterious
poisoning of Edward Provost and Mrs
Mary Webb, in the house at 40 Butler
street
Provost died last night after drink
ing a bottle of beer and Mrs. Webb,
who also partook of a glass of the
same beverage, Is in a critical condi-
tion at the General Hospital. She 10
not expected to live.
Much mystery surrounds the CASE.
AT the General Hospital Chemist SAINT
made preliminary test of the remain
ing contents of the bottle, and slight
traces of strychnine were disclosed. A
more thorough examination is now be-
ing made and upon this will depend
what action will be taken.
Provost hired a fiat at 40 Butler
street several months ago, coming
from Columbia Heights, Hawthorne.
At the hospital early today. after Mrs.
Webb sufficiently recovered to talk. she
was questioned. She first referred to
Provost as her husband and later said
he was not. She said that both sat
down to dinner and opened two bottles
of beer She drank glass and noticed
the beer tasted bitter. He also made
the same remark He then drank half
a glass more, but as he put down the
glass he felt i'll. Mrs. Webb, too, felt
i'll, and half an hour later Provost died
in great agony. Mrs. Webb managed
to summon neighbors and she was
rushed to the hospital.
Doctor Armstrong Investigated and
learned that the two bottles were the
last remaining in a case. What puz-
zles the authorities is the fact that no
previous bad effects had resulted from
drinking the contents of the other bot
ties. This would appear to dispel tine
suspicion that the beer became poisoned
when refilled. How the poison found
Its way into the last two bottles Is
what is puzzling the police. From the
| investigation disclosed thus far, 1t
would appear that deliberate murder
was committed, and efforts are being
made to sift the affair to the bottors,
Neighbors say that the couple were
never seen to quarrel, and that they
were very amiable. Mrs. Webb said
she had been Provost's housekeeper
for the past six months. He was a
man very set in his habits, and had
used the same brand of beer for the
| last six years
The case of beer was from the estab-
! lishment- of Hugo Kempermann, OF
Hawthorne.
