each cabinet officer designate a mem
Der OF his department to serve on
general supply committee. This
board prepared general schedule
OF supplies. eliminating hundreds of
items and standardizing hundreds
OF others. and suggested the forina-
ton or permanent organization.
BY January, 1909. this organization
had been perfected and all was ready
for the purchase of supplies for the
fiscal year 1909-10.
On March 4, 1909. Taft was inau-
gurated. He found the general sup
ply committee doing excellent work,
but existing without authority OF law.
So he did the next best thing, issued
executive order No. 1911. which off,
cially recognized the committee. The
committee went ahead, advertised for
bids, made awards, and on the pur-
chases made for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /, 1909, and ending June
30. 1910, they saved the government
about $250.000 In real money.
Then Congress took n hand. They
decided that the committee needed
a little more legal authority for their
existence. so they passed rider TO
the general appropriation act, which
was intended TO legalize Taft's exec
utivc order. The enactment was 80
vague that the secretary OF the treas
ury, under whose jurisdiction the
committee was placed, does not know
whether the act itself created the
committee, or whether Il only author
lied him TO create it; so he has re-
ferred the matter to the attorney
general, where 1t is still reposIng.
The civil service commission also
has the question In pigeonhole.
The result Is that the committee
does not know whether they are in
existence or not. In the meantime
though, they are going right ahead,
and saving government money.

even IL party bound and though they
do their thinking through their rep
resentatives, ought to be thankful FOR
such a showing up as your editorial
was.
How much longer will the men who
pay all the bills allow, even in Michi-
gan, such trust partners as Burrows
to do business for them? Why stick
to party and be robbed little longer?
Then there Is Gardner. who now rep
resents our third district Have we
any further use for such a trust rep
resentative? Was he ever on the side
of the working people? Does he still
believe the meek" shall inherit the
earth? Perhaps he does, and for that
reason they need little here below.
Anyway. he Is a partner Of the trusts.
Is there not a David with sling who
can conquer this Goliath OF monopoly ?
Are the people petrifled In the trusts
interests, and are they hypnotiZed by
these Industrial robbers to stand and
deliver their votes to their accepted
candidates? Why do we. a people
keenly alive to our own interests in
all things except the tribute money
we pay the trusts? The standpatters
ought to be driven out Of office, and
for one thank you for the noble
work you are doing In The Times to

Kernel Dalton, was nonplussed for q

It saw no hoap Of escape. & then 1t

For a moment, the rat looked at the

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. %. 1910.
Dear Dad: have seen congress-
man "heckled." II was great. 1t was
worth the trip from Washington, ID.
c., to Seattle.
Humphrey, of this town, was the
mana likable fellow personally
but bad congressman.
Also l have seen two United States
senators "heckled"-an equally In
spring spectacle. Ones name Is
Piles, the other Jones. have heard
hall full of people yell their heads
of for an 'insurgent" congressman,
who Is a candidate for senator. Poin-
dexter was, of course, the insurgent.
II was a rather sorry spectacle In
one way, yet an encouraging one be-
cause II showed that the people are
wideawake.
The sharp, simple question shot in
from the gallery-that Is the essence
of the "heckle." 1t usually begins with
the words-"How about?"
It is very embarrassing sometimes.
Often II sounds impertinent. But II
is fair comeback to the public
speaker who seeks to evade. misrep-
resent or obscure the vital issues.
The "heckle" which saw took
place in the Grand Opera house here
in Seattle. A pleasant little recep-
ton to the congressional delegation
had been arranged by the Young
Mems Republican club OF Seattle.
There was an average mixed audi
ence of Republicans. mostly men.
Senator Jones led with mild
apology for the tariff bill. He was in
terrupted some. but escaped by cut
ting his speech short.
Poindexter next told what part the
insurgent Republicans had taken in
the fight, and what the Cannon-Ald-
rich crowd had really done. His
speech was quiet and good natured.
He had no Interruptions except ap-
plause.
Humphrey came next. At the state
convention in Tacoma the day before
Humphrey had lauded Cannon as the
greatest statesman Of the age" The
crowd was evidently waiting for a
chance.
The tariff bill increased no duties
on"-Humphrey was getting on nicely

Sunday Not tho Jewish Sabbath.

Sunday Not tho Jewish Sabbath.
To the Editor of The Times: VIII
you give me space in your valuable
paper TO show Mr.. Cole the truth con-
corning the Sabbath?
The Jews are right In not observing
the first day of the week and calling
Ii "the Sabbath" because 1t Is not nor
never was written in the Law Of God
to observe the first day of the week.
Our present Sunday got its name and
origin from paganism-the day on
which the pagans worship the sun.
Constantine falsely called "the first
Christian emperor"), to please the
pagans, made the proclamation for all
his subjects to observe the same day,
now falsely called the Christian Sab
bath. but no man was ever a trans
gressor Of the law OF God because he
worked on Sunday. II Mr.. Cole would
read for himself he would see that 1t

Coles 144-hour period.
Perhaps, if Mr.. Cole will read Moses

the twisted and contradicting creeds
of the dark ages he will see differ

/ have no quarrel with any man as
to whether he should esteem one
day above another or not. I agree
with much that Mr.. Cole says on
that point. Where I have disagreed
with him is on the inspirations and
reliability of the Scriptures. In the
light of the creeds the Bible is a
mass of contradictions, but in its own
light it is one grand harmonious
whole. When We get the proper focus
on 1t. 1t becomes the harp of God"
which gives out the grandest music,
for 1t is the workmanship of God.

DANISH F|hhhC|ER
SENTENCED FOR 8
YEARS SERVTUOE
Conviction of Former Minister
of Justice Forces Resig-
nation Of Cabinet.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 1T.-Fornler
Minister of Justice p. A. Alberti, the
revelation of whose banking frauds in
the fall of 1908 scandalized the country,
was sentenced today to eight years
servitude, Albert suffered a physical
collapse in MarchA 1909, while awaiting
trial, and was removed to a hospital,
where he remained until sufficiently re-
stored to face his accusers. For four
teen years Alberti had held a COM
manding place both in politics and
finance. He was a member of the
Deuntzer ministry and later dominated
the Christensen cabinet, which he en-
tered as minister of justice in 1905.
AS president of the Bondesstandens
Sparkasse, a savings bank, and of the
Danish Farmers Export Association
he was the custodian of enormous
funds. to which he began to help him
self, according to his w confession,
seven years before he accepted the
portfolio of Justice.
Unpleasant rumor had ben in circu-
lation for some time before the ex-
posture anne but the minister was the
intimate of King Frederick and the
idol of the poorer classes, and his
financial genius, indomitable will and
brilliant oratory repeatedly saved him.
But the time came When he could no
longer cover his tracks, and, hard
pressed, Albert confessed hat he had
misused the funds of the bank, and
that he had Systematically robbed the
export association n dts customers
from the day that it began business,
i'll 1888. His populations amounted, he
said, to about $4,000, 900, and the money
had been lost in South African and
American mining ventures. Popular
Indignation was so intense that Pre-
mler Christensen, who but recently had
publicly affirmed A1berti's honesty
was forced to submit the resignation
OF the entire cabinet.

TEST CASE
TO DETERMINE
BANK TAXATION
County Board, After Two Tours
Argument, Lowers ASSESS
nent on One Lot.

The County Beard OF Taxation
threshed out the question Of the tax
alton of bapk stocks today, and for two
hours listened 70 John r. Hardin, rep
~resenting the Jnieu National Bank. the
national Newark Bank and the 11sseN
County National Eank, and Herbert
Boggs. VIII appeared for the city OF
Newark.
According TO the figures assessed by
the city. the valuation Of each share
of capital stock of the Union National
Bank is placed at $s51, SO. Of the Union
National Newark at s150.60 n OF the
Essex County National at si0S.6o, all Of
the assessments being figured on the
basis of 500 a share par value.
The assessments, according to the
figures of the banks, should be s116.3S
for the Union National Bank, Sl0s.94
for the National Newark and $3.50 for
the Essex County National Bank. h
figures produced by the banks provide
for taxation on all that the city officials
have taxed except the bank note circu-
lation. which the banks claim ara not
taxable,
After a two-hour talk it was desided
by the County Board of Taxation to
allow a reduction of the taX in orde' 10

301 Carside street, 5O5-S13 Garside
street. 1856 Second avenue and 29T-Sol
Mount Prospect avenue.
Mr.. Pitney claims that the property
Is exempt from taxation. as the organ
is a charitable one, and under
Its charter from the city any property
owned by the society is free from tax
alton. The Board of Taxation TOOK the
matter under Amusement until Monday,
