tree exchange of many products and to make a material reduction in the duties on other articles. The opposition in this country has been based upon the alleged fear that the arrangement will work injuriously to the Interests of -the farmers. But the president reassures the people by the remark that the agreement may be rescinded the moment it is found to work badly. The opponents of reciprocity are in decided minority in the Canadian parliament also. But they are very much more belligerent and vicious than our senatorial minority.

And the Dominion parliament seems to carry the principle of parliamentary courtesy to the extreme limit, going even farther than the American senate. Some weeks previous to the coronation the premier, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, expressed the conviction that he side, but an tinenerate entered would obliged on this into 'to postpone the discussion on reciprocity until later in the year. Now we hear from Canada that it may be necessary to dissolve parliament and appeal to the country. In that case Cazadian ratification will delayed some weeks. EDITORIAL NOTES.

And so the open car is to become la thing of the past. Prompt payment of taxes is a duty many citizens are performing. Pennsylvania's highway department promises to be a formidable thing in the not distant future. The so-called progressives in the United States senate are making a fine exhibition of themselves. Pennsylvania apples have a much finer taste than most of the looking fruit from the Pacific coast.

Picnics are in full swing now and with cooler weather they will be as enjoyable as in former years. The statesman survives the most virulent attacks of his foes. He grows while they are forgotten. The recent fire on the east side of the city is another admonition to carefulness. One cannot well afford to be forgetful.

It seldom profits a candidate for place to go about the country abusing his fellow citizens. It usually does him considerable harm, One wonder why some second rate stories are so greatly overpraised by the professional critics. Very good men often see in a very poor story an exhibition of wonderful power and renius. A heated discussion by the Altoona school board over the heating system, just at the close of the superheated term, seems to 1 be entirely in order. Especially when it ends quite harmoniously.

Friends from a distance keep up their lively interest in Altoona and their sympathy extends to its poor. The Tribune received contributions to its rent fund from West Virginia and North Carolina. The citizens who are vitally interested in the frugal administration of the city and county governments should see to it that they place the offices in the hands of men who perform much and talk little. Our servants would be singular beings if they were always of one mind. It is inevitable that men should differ concerning every problem of the day.

So long as it is honest conviction that cause the difference nobody has any right to complain. Realism of the nasty sort may be true enough, but it is not worth while in fiction. It accomplishes no good and very frequently reproduces in young persons the vices it describes. Better stick to romance if it be clean and pure, the teacher of a good moral. The best thing to do about the menacing and bothersome fly is to take steps to prevent its birth.

This may be done by cleanliness upon the part of the municipality and its people. Other towns have practically exterminated this troublesome insect by taking pains. What one has done others may do if they will set themselves about it in the right way. It is very difficult for men who have persistently abused Senator Penrose ever since his entrance upon public life to concede that he has triumphed over the machinations of his enemies and won the confidence of a constantly increasing number of his constituents. His resourceful and patient management of the fight for reciprocity shows what manner of reciprocity shows what maner of man The superior court did a very just thing when it ruled that a legally qualified citizen cannot be deprived of his right to cast his ballot at an election, even though a repeater has previously personated him and cast a ballot in his name.

To prevent an innocent citizen. from. exercising the privilege of the ballot upon the ground that his name had been already voted on would be to add outrage to insult. The opening and formal dedication of Highland park will be one of the most interesting events in the life of this growing city. The park commission has had a very meagre sum with which to carry forward its work but it has done remarkably well.

The new park should become a favorite resort for the people of the city and may be incentive for the creation of others. Certainly something ought to done to increase our breathing places MORNING TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1911. Dornina Tribune. Published Dally Except Sunday THE ALTOONA TRIBUNE CO.

GOOD MORNING! Going to help dedicate Highland Park today? THE POISONERS AND DR. WILEY. The three secretaries who have oversight of the food and drugs act of June 30, 1906, are not exerting themselves to enforce the provisions of that act in a rigorous manner The act has done good since it received executive approval, but much better results would have been accomplished if the straightforward methods of Dr. Wiley, the chief chemist of the department of agriculture, had been always followed or never thwarted. A significant commentary upon the methods of the secretaries may be found in their action in connection with the recent declaration of the referee board 1 that saccharine is a poison and that its use as a substitute for sugar in soda water or any other article consumed by human beings should not be allowed.

In accordance with this statement by the board an order was issued forbidding the use of saccharine after the 1st of July. But the business interests that have been using this injurious article protested so forcibly that the order was modified and they were given another year in which to make other arrangements. It will be perceived that those who adulterate the food and drink of the people still have considerable infuence with public servants. They have so much influence that their convenience seems to be considtered as of far more consequence than the health of the rank and Ale. For they have succeeded in Inducing those having to do with the enforcement of the food and drugs act to issue an order allowing violationg of law until July 1, 1912.

Until that time manufacturers of commodities containing saccharine may continue to endanger the health of their customers, because business interests must be protected. It is not surprising, therefore, that food adulterators should be extremely anxious to get rid of Dr. Wiley. The doctor has steadfastly battled for the rigid enforcement of the food and drugs act. He has succeeded in makAng an end of many abuses He has made the adulteration of food a moderately dangerous business, but the chief complaint against him is that he is constantly exposing the tricks of those who are coining money by methods that will not bear inspecItion.

They have been on the warpath ever since the crusade for purity in food and drink began and they are greatly encouraged by the present attitude of Attorney General Wiekersham. It is charged that Dr. Wiley has committed a technical violation of Naw in the interest of pure food and drink. If the charge is true we suppose he ought to be censured. Pinchot was charged with violating law Min the effort to more adequately the forest preserves and the water power rights of the If Dr.

Wiley has sinned for the sake, of the general good he has committed an offense of a singular character. Technically the caustic deunciation of the attorney general may be correct. Neverthelesgwthere is an impression abroad that the common people believe in Dr. Wiley and have about las little respect for Wickersham as they had for Ballinger. He also is confronted by serious charges.

THE END IN SIGHT. The Tribune congratulates President Taft upon his approaching triumph. It congratulates Senator Penrose upon the results of his efAcient leadership of the reciprocity forces in the senate. It congratulates the people of the nation upon the victory they are about to achieve. As will be perceived by the telegraphic news from Washington this morning, Senator Penrose has succeded in persuading the enemies of the reciprocity bill to agree to take the final vote a week from today.

A further agreement has been entered Into to vote on the measures advocated by varlous members of the senate and it is expected that the business of congress will be completed by the 7th of August. When the vote is taken it will be Mound that an overwhelming majority of the senate are in favor of the president's policy. They are willing that the bars shall be taken down between our country and the DominIon of Canada and they are confident that no harm will come to the people of either country. The president's speeches during recent short trips to various cities have so effectually exposed the flimsiness of the arguments against the reciprocity policy that littie has been left for its enemies to Jay. Reciprocity is a pretty big word and some folks are not sure they comprehend its meaning.

In this instance it simply means that our government and the government of Canada have concluded to permit the BIRD-MAN PERFORMED BIG FEAT (Continued from page 1) remarkable exhibition. There were those in the crowd that were determined to do something and many helped push the car into the hangar. Shriver on his way from the grounds in Wolfe Brothers' automobile was greeted on all sides by the crowd, every one of whom was wearing a pleasant smile over his success. The scene on the east side streets at the east end of the city must have been more remarkable than that at park Judging from the reports of the people who witnessed them, The only notice the people had of the "Birdman's" presence in that section was the noise of his engine but it was enough to bring them from their homes and cause a rush for the hills. Aviator Shriver wil bid good-bye to Altoona by making two flights today.

The first will take place at 4:30 o'- clock during, which he will fly over Columbia park and also over the new Highland park. His final flight will be made in the evening a at 7 o'. clock. ENCAMPMENT TIME. Companies and Will Join Others Friday Next at Horner Station.

Boy Scouts Growing 8g Fast New Branches Are Scout Commission to Be Chosen The Boy Scouts of America, who were established in Altoona several months ago and have met with great success, are growing so rapidly that other troops will have to be formed in this city in the near future, a according to an announcement made by Herbert O.

Kelley, a prominent officer of the association, last evening. Mr. Kelley is one of the several gentlemen who are giving much of their time to make the society a success. Several troops are to be formed, in the southern end of the city and elsewhere. A troop is to be started in Bellwood also.

In the latter town there is now a patrol, but the young gentlemen there have been working to garner new members. Tyrone is well represented in Scout ranks, but more troops are to be started there before long. In the very near future a change will be made locally in the government of the A council, composed of representative public officlals, business and professional men, will be announced before long, and the members of this body will elect a Scout commissioner and a field secretary. The commissioner will have general supervision over the work and issue all certificates. He will decide all questions of jurisdiction, law and procedure.

The field secretary will also have supervisory duties. Much of the work that will fall to these gentlemen has been done, since the Scout movement has been organized here, by Major A. V. Wester, who has done an immense lot of work to make the society a success, and deserves great credit for what he has accomplished. It expected that as soon as the council and officials are named, the movement will go forward here with a rush.

The present number of local troops is four, two being located directly in the city, in the East End and one at Lakemont Terrace. All are meeting, with great success and have combined membership of about 150 boys between the ages of 12 and 18 years.

FESTIVAL TO BE HELD This on the Lawn by East Side Sunshine Society on Evening of July 25. The first anniversary of the Mercy hospital, Altoona's new institution of mercy, that has lived up in every way to its name, will not be let pass by unnoted. At a meeting of the hospital committee of the East Side Sunshine society, held on the lawn of the Mercy, Eighth avenue and Twenty-sixth street, last evening, it was decided to hold a big festival on the lawn of the institution on evening of July 25, to mark the first anniversary of the hospital.

When it is taken into consideration that the date of the festival falls at such an appropriate time as the anniversary and that the public of Altoona, judging from sentiments expressed everywhere, seems to be aching for a chance to aid the institution, since it has been refused a appropriation, the Sunshiners crowd expect that to has entertain the bigever attended a festival the city. The East Side Sunshine society is the ladies' auxiliary to the Mercy hospital and it is a in this capacity that the ladies are arranging for the big social. As the ladies' auxiliary of the institution the Sunshiners have taken upon themselves the the hospitamishing, have funds enwork linens, for ough to see them through this work for the present and will, therefore, not turn the proceeds of July 25's event Into the auxiliary fund. The money gained on that evening will be donated directly to the hospital treasury and will be used for the day-to-day expenses of the institution. The good ladies evening decided to have an orchestra present on the evening of the social.

If none of the patients in the institution at that time is such a serious condition that to open hospital would prove injurious, the Sunshiners will have the hospital, opened on that evening in give the public a chance to see the new institution. The arrangements for the festival are mainly in the hands of the hospital committee of the society, but all the East Side Sunshiners will aid in making the evening a big success, socially and financially. Following are the members of the hospital committee: Mrs. Ray C. Esterline, chairman; Mrs.

P. H. Walls, Mrs. W. J.

Heinsling, Mrs. Ed Vogt, Mrs. Harry Selwitz, Mrs. Jessie Nale, Mrs. George Curran, Mrs.

Christ Selwitz and Mrs. Arthur W. Leader. TO DEDICATE MOOSE HOME. Event Early In the Fall -Committee to be Named at Next Meeting.

J. Reilly. The new home was to have been dedicated a month or so after it was opened, in early spring, but the furniture for the lodge room did not arrive -and in fact has not yet arrived--having been held up by a strike in the Michigan factory where it is being made. The board of directors has heard now that furniture will come on or about August 1, so that the plans for the dedication, postponed several times, have been started anew.

The directors will hold a meeting on Tuesday evening and, if definite word concerning the arrival of the furniture is received by them before that time they will then choose the exact date for the dedication. It was desired to have the home entirely completed for the dedication and the officers here held off the event until the permanent furniture for the lodge room can get here. Meetings have been going on in the room all the same, the place being temporarily furnished. The new room furniture will be the handsomest furniture of its kind in this section of the state.

CONDITION OF ONE SERIOUS Conflicting Stories Regarding Fight Which Landed Two Men in Hospital. THREE MEN ARE INVOLVED Railroad Company Police Are deavering to Get at the tom of Trouble.

A fight that occurred in the Pennsylvania Railroad company's yard just east of WN office late yesterday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock is likely to result in murder. Giovani Magini is at the hospital in a serious condition and likely to die. Nazzeren Pirono, another one of the participants, is also in the hospital with a couple of stab wounds which are not considered as serious. Domico Bellini, aged 44 years, residing in the vicinity of Hillside, is being detained on suspicion of having done the cutting and will be held pending the outcome of Magini's wounds. The three men are in the employ of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, work under Foreman Samuel Cornelius as trackmen and were considered good workmen.

They quit work at 4:30 yesterday afternoon and started for home and when Just a short distance east of WN office got into an altercation. There are conflicting stories on the cause of the trouble. The men in the hospital blame Bellini, while Bellini blames them. Ugly and insulting words are said to have been passed by the men and resulted in a fight. The stories of Pirono and Magini are to the effect that while they were coming home Bellino turned on them and slashed them with a knife.

Bellini says that he was called insulting names; he was knocked down and set upon by the men. The knife used in the cutting was one manufactured from an old file about four and a half inches long. The company police authorities have been able to find it but are mak(ins a search to recover it. Bellini is said to have wielded the knife in the fight which took place near the Red bridge. While he and Magini were fighting Pirono is reported to have stepped in as peacemaker and got hurt.

Magini was slashed and stabbed about the right abdomen, the wound inflicted being regarded as extremely serious. Pir. ono was once over the heart and also lip slashed. Both stabbed, men were taken to the hospital, where their injuries were dressed. Magini, most seriously hurt, had several large blood vessels severed, but fortunately the knife did not reach the intestines.

The Pennsylvania Railroad comthe sobolina about 6 o'clock arrested pany authorities got busy on Bellini at his home on the charge of having figured in the fight and stabbing the other two men. He was closely questioned concerning trouble and placed the blame for the affair on the others. He will be held awaiting the result of Magini's wounds. FELL THIRTY FEET. A Tinner When Scaffolding Gave Way Under Him.

A scaffold giving away under William Bastian, a tinner aged 56 years, fell thirty feet ground and was seriously injured, while working on a house at East Altoona yesterday morning about 11 o'clock. He was brought to the Altoona hospital, where it is believed that his back is broken was placed in a water bed to until this ing when an X-Ray examination will be made to ascertain the exact extent his injury. Mr. Bastian, who resides at Twelfth avenue, is employed by Ernest F. Maeder, tinner and plumber of Juniata, and he was engaged in putting spouting on a new house at East Altoona.

Not knowing that a section of the scaffolding was loose, he stepped from the roof to the top of the frame work. Immediately it toppled down his weight and he fell to the ground thirty feet below. He fell in a crouched position and landed on his back. Another workman was with Mr. Bastian but was on the roof when the scaffold gave way.

Merchant P. W. Fair of East Altoona brought injured man in his automobile to the Altoona hospital. Mr. Bastian's fate rests practically on whether his back is broken or not, as he did not sustain any other injuries more than slight bruises.
