The platform of the successful party
In the last election contained the fol-
lowing:
injunctions Without Notice.
"We believe that the rules Of proce-
dure In the federal courts with respect
to the issuance Of the writ of injunc-
ton should be more accurately defined
| by statute and that no injunction or
temporary restraining order should be
issued without notice, except where
irreparable injury would result from
delay, In which case a speedy hearing
thereafter should be granted"
recommend that In compliance with
the promise thus made appropriate leg
islation be adopted. Moreover, every
such injunction or restraining order
issued without previous notice and OPP
portunity by the defendant to be heard
should by force of the statute expire
and be of no effect, after seven days
from the issuance thereof or within
any time less than that period which
the court may fix unless within such
seven days or such less period the in
junction or order is extended or re-
newed after previous notice and op.
portunity to be heard.
Antitrust and Interstate Commerce
The jurisdiction of the general gov
Ornment over interstate commerce has
led to the passage of the so called
SHERMAN antitrust law" and the Tin
terstate commerce law and its
operation Of those laws call for dis
cussion and some suggestions as to
amendments. These | prefer to en-
body In special message.
Postoffiee Department - Second Class
Mail Matter.
The deficit every year in the post.

the low rate Of postage Of / cent

papers, but magazines and miscella-
neous periodicals. The actual loss grow
ing out of the transmission of this
second class mail matter at / cent a
pound amounts to about $63, 100000 a
year. The average cost Of the trans
portation Of this matter is more than
D cents pound. The statistics of 1907
show that second class mail matter
constituted 63.91 per cent of the
weight Of all the mail and yielded
only $40 per cent Of the revenue.

tional income tax was not needed for revenue purposes but rather for jus tice. because under existing state and local systems the possessors of large fortunes. are not reached. Of the cor porate income tax, he said it was de- vised because of the failure of the states adequately to regulate inter- state corporations and that 'as reg ulative measure it is pregnant of the most far-reaching beneficial results D He summed up his discussion of the three big tax subjects by asking:
 Why is it not possible to secure all the ends of suitability by having the taxes administered by the Federal Government under general federal laws, and why is it not possible to se- cure all the ends of adequacy by hav- ing the proceeds apportioned in whole or in part to the various States? This is my solution of the difficulty: let the Federal Government assess the taxes and let the State governments profit by the taxes.

RED HOT IN GUILFORD
Anger Over Former Governor Woodruff's Remarks May Cause Republican Bolt.

In view of the recent shortages in town finances in the historic town of Guilford, interest attaches to the Re publican caucus which will take place there tomorrow night.
 In consequence of the developments in the Republican administration there are many Republicans who will sup pert c. M. Leete as a candidate for first selectman. Leete Is a Democrat, and this action will mean a great deal for a hide-bound Republican town like Guilford.
 It is believed that he will accept the re-nomination for the position. If he does. it is said there will be the live Hest kind of a fight to result. as many of the voters claim that he should have discovered the town shortages many moons ago. His supporters claim that ne d1d not let the facts lie hidden very long after he found them out, and that if the town auditors had done their duty. years ago-looked up the cash to balance the books instead of taking the word of the town treasurer-Gutl- ford would still have funds in hand. instead of being faced with an inn portant shortage as now,
 The opinion of ex-Governor Wood ruff criticising the administration of the towns methods of handling it's accounts has stirred the Guilfordites to the core and the fur will fly to- morrow night. The Republicans have not as yet completed their ticket.

LONDON PAPER
 SAYS BRITISHER
 DISCOVERED POLE

London, Sept. PA London after noon newspaper is today hard at work on the theory that the reason pr. Cook and Commander Peary annoGnc- ed their claims to the North Pole dis covery almost simultaneously was that they heard of the discovery of the Pole by a British exploring expedition and rushed back to civilization to fore stall the Britishers. The name of the British expedition has not yet been disclosed by the paper.
 Its reporters have been besieging the Royal Geographical Society for ten. days to get facts on which to base the publication of this story, but so far they have not felt warranted in springing the sensation" The ru- nor is generally considered ridiculous but the editors of the papers insist that they are on the right track and that the story may be expected to break momentarily.

DYING MAN SAYS
 HE'S NO SQUEALER
Prize Fighter Lucas, With Four Bullets
 in Body, Won't DiVnlge Murderer.
SHOT AT TAMMANY PRIMARIES

New York, Sept. ~23.-Fred Lucas, a
 prize fighter well known in the fstic arena, who was knocked out by Sailor Burke a month ago, is dying in Belle
 vue hospital with four bullets in his body. He was shot during a revolver duel at the primaries in Tammany Leader Charles F. Murphy's district. He refuses to say a word about the affair.
 Nine Tammany workers in the dis trict were arrested and were remanded to the coroner when arraigned in police court. One of the prisoners is Edward J. Harvey of 332 East Thirtieth street, an employe of the water department, and a brother of Charles Harvey, the announcer.
 Of the nine prisoners Harvey is be- lieved by the police to be the man who knows who fired the shots that hit Lucas. He diSclaimS any connection with the fracas, but in a statement to reporters insisted that Lucas tactics brought on the fight.
 In Leader Murphy's district, the fourteenth, Michael J. Cruise and Will liam A. Larney were the rival candi- dates for district leader. Cruise be- came leader last June to succeed Mu- nicipal Court Justice William J. Boy han. Lucas acted as bodyguard for Larney during work at the primaries.
  nounced Lucas as a guerilla" import ed from Chatham Square to start trQu- ble. The shooting occurred in front of 536 Second avenue, in the election district in which both candidates live.
 My auto had just drawn up in front of the polling place and slapped Lar ney on the back and greeted him, '' said Cruise in telling the police what he knew of the shooting. ''He return ed the greeting. Larney then called to a passing auto, in which were Lucas and a number of other guerillas from outside the district.
 When the auto stopped I spoke to Lucas and told him to get out of the district I know him as a rough. He was pugnacious and told me to mind my business. The next instant several | shots were fired. I was unarmed, al- though as a deputy sheriff I had the right to carry 8, revolver.
 ''I did not see the man or men who fired the shots, but I am firmly con- vinced that they were intended for me, as had been threa tened with as sassination earlier in the day" Lucas bedside the latter refused to identify him. "I'm no squealer," he said Lucas pugilistic career extended for upward of five years, in which time he has fought more than a hundred
 fights. His last battle took place about a month ago when he received a severe drubbing at the hands of Sailor Burke. "-'r' Among some of his victims in the ring were Fred Emkins, Dick Everitt,
 Johnny Carroll, Jim Blair, Al Green Williams. Mickey McDonough and Charley Hitte.

The deposits in the four national banks and four trust companies, in which J. P. Morgan or members of his firm are directors, aggregated the inn mense sum of s544, 131, 976 on Saturday last. If to this sum there be added The aggregate of funds directly or in- directly controlled by the so-called Standard Oil clique, it will be found that rates in the money market can easily be dictated by the alleged com bination of Morgan and Standard Oil interests, that through such dictation the prices of stocks can be increased or decreased, and that even a ''mon- ey panic' like that of October, 19O7 can be brought on whenever it would serve the combinations purposes. Con- gressman Hill stated in February last that such a great central bank as he favored would have seventy millions in capital, seven hundred millions of deposits and seven hundred millions in note circulation. Would even such a bank possess much greater power than has the alleged combination above referred to?

PRESIDENT TAFT AND THE
 CORPORATE INCOMErTAX

President Taft devoted his Denver speech to a discussion of the corporate Income tax. It is noticeable that he rejected, the description of it as "an excise tax and said,. "It is in effect an income tax" He declared that, { there being a grave danger of the pas sage of a general income tax by "a part of the Republicans and all of the Democrats of the Senate" a compro- mise was sought, and it was found in the corporate income tax and con- stitutional amendment authorizing the Imposition of a general income tax.
 He finds a defect in the corporate income tax, in the fact that under the measure those who own bonds of corporation ''do not pay any tax at al1u the shares of stock are indirectly taxed. But; he says, if the proposed constitutional amendment be adopted, 1t will be possible to levy a tax upon interest to be paid on corporation bonds, which would reduce the inter est paid to bondholders, and would, he adds, make the corporation tax a more beneficial measure and one reaching interests that ought to be rcached.''
 The President also approves the cor porate income tax because ''it will give the federal government an oppor- tunity to secure most valuable infor- mation in respect to the conduct of corporations and their actual financial conditions,' and also because, when another tariff revision comes, the "corporations engaged in business said to be affected by the tariff will have upon record in Washington their ex- act financial condition from year to year in the matter of their incomes, their expenditures and their debts." The latter is a new argument in SUD- port of the corporate income tax, and had it been urged when the new tar aff was under discussion in Congress, tthe bill would probably have been sharply antagonized by the tariff ben eficiaries. Further, had it then been known that the President would give the widest possible interpretation to the tariff commission clause and that such interpretation would enable the commission to ascertain, from the cor porate tax returns, the profits realized by tariff beneficiaries, the whole tar tiff bill might have been rejected.
 President Taft referred briefly to the proposed constitutional amendment authorizing the imposition of a gen. eral income tax, stating that he is op- posed to such a tax except in times of great national stress" Unless the disposition of Congress toward extrav- agance changes radically times of great national stress are likely to come at ''any old time,'' in tile form of a heavy Treasury deficit.

 /" MY TEETH
 ARE FALSE :" One Who Wears Artificial Teeth With Red Rubber Gums May as Well Say So EVERYBODY
 KNOWS IT ANYWAY But the False Teeth With Continuous Porcelain Gums Cannot Be Detected They're Natural.

Rubber gums are, the give away on the wearer of false teeth. Rubber gums look so dreadfully unnatural that they may almost be termed hid eous. It seems utterly impossible to conform the color of anything rubber to the pinkish tint with which nature has endowed the gums. The result is that when the wearer of false teeth With rubber gums part the lips in a smile the f1aring red of the rubber inn mediately attracts the eye and one might just as well say My teeth are false" This is an unpleasant state Of affairs but one that is unnecessarily suffered by a great many people. Un- necessarily? Yes;E very unnecessarily, for there is a simple, remedy that modern dentistry has conceived to eliminate this disagreeable feature in wearing artificial teeth. T Have you heard of Porcelain continuous gum plates? If you haven't, you should add a delight to the life of any wearer of artificial teeth. The gums are of porcelain which is easily rendered a color to harmonize perfectly with the natural color, ard thus they strike such close resemblance to nature as this they are sanitary to a degree inn possible to be reached where rubber is used. All rubber is alke-it draws and anything that draws initiates that's why beginners find false teeth almost unbearable so tender are the parts caused by their continual con- tact. with the rubber plate and gums. Porcelain continuous gum plates have cooling, healing effect and this in connection with their perfect fitting qualities and perfectly natural appear ance make them the most ideal arti- ficia1 teeth proposition ever offered in the practice of dentistry. There is one place in the city where porcelain work is practiced by a thoroughly competent and practiced surgeon and this is at Dr. Weidlich's, No. Citi- zens Bldg, over Kline Bros. Dr. Weidlich has practiced this and all other branches of dentistry so exten- sively as to become real expert and his ability has and continues to merit real recognition among the dental surgeons of the city.

The Treasury department, says Sec retary MacVeagh, "has no thought of making up it's mind overnight about the central bank, and trying to put an official stamp of approval upon an in- choate project It is strenuously de- nied that President Taft, in his Bos- ton speech, committed himself to the scentral-bank project; on the contrary, it is asserted that he merely mention ed it as likely to be presented by the Aldrich Monetary commission, but he coupled herewith a statement that Senator Aldrich is one of the ablest financiers in Congress. A natural in ference is that Senator Aldrich has, in his several consultations with the President, convinced him of the ad- visibility of establishing a great cen- tra1 bank.
