The Editor and His Critics.

The Altoona morning Tribune makes
the following editorial comment upon
the critics of the editor, the same being
applicable to many individuals in every
community who take delight to find
fault with the editor who reserves the
right to publish such matter as he
deems of interest to his readers:
There is not a competent news
paper man in the world who is not
more conscious of imperfections, his
short comings and his blunders than
the most critical of his readers. I'm
less he is particularly fortunate, his
writing is done always under high
pressure, seldom with any opportunity
for reflection, much less fer painstak-
ing investigation. His work is one of
such a nature as to demand almost
every moment of his walking time,
leaving scarcely a half hour leisure, re-
Election Or study, and he is liable to be
confronted at almost any moment by
new problem with which he must crap
pie at once with an appearance Of
knowledge which, in too many cases,
is appearance only.
There are other limitations to per-
fection. The newspaper is business
enterprise. 1t is managed in the intes-
est of its owners, just as you conduct
your business or as your employers
manage theirs. 1t is not published
from entirely altruistic motives. The
men who put their money in it do SO
for business reasons and expect it to
return a reasonable dividend upon the
investment They expect the men
and women who they employ to con-
suit their wishes and to make an hon
est effort to promote their financial
welfare. They are not always willing
to sacrifice themselves upon the altar
of public duty, as some of their neigh
bors understand duty, nor are they
willing to permit Others to go beyond
the limits of prudence.
There is always more or less criti.
cism of newspapers and their work.
This is to be expected. The publica-
tion that never said anything to pro-
yoke or dissent or to stir up gerce an
tagonism would soon languish and die.
Some of the criticism is Just; some of
it malicious; some of it is the result of
recklessness and of a desire to talk. 1t
is expected by the newspaper makers
and is borne with more tranquility.
That which is merely malicious is dis
missed without much ceremony That
which is based upon ignorance is also
but little considered, as every com
munity has its 'wise Ones" while that
which is evidently based upon justice
is taken TO heart.
The makers of newspapers would be
greatly benefited if honest critics
would communicate with them face to
face. 1t may we'll be that half an hour
mutual conversation might enlighten
both the critic and the editor and put
both in the way of far more use to the
world than either is now.,'

Must Keep Waters Pure.

In deciding that the act of the Penn
sylvania legislature Of 1905, prohibit
ing the pollution of the streams of this
state, is constitutional the supreme
court has rendered service to the
public which will no doubt result in
stricter enforcement of the law in ques-
ton. For many years there have been
frequent but futile attempts made to
prevent the pollution of the streams
by mills and factories and the act of
1905 was passed to answer to the ap.
peal of the people for pure water sup
plies. That this law will now be en-
forced there is every prospect.
In this section of the state some of
the streams have been made the dump
ing ground of mills and tanneries un-
til the waters have become so poisoned
that fish cannot live in them. Annual
ly complaints have been sent to the
state fish commission depicting the
conditions which exist in some of the
streams, but until the law prohibiting
ed three years ago no attempt was
made to prevent the mills and tanner
les from dumping their poisonous re-
fuse into the streams.
Because of the danger which men
aces the health of the people through
the use of water taken from polluted
streams as we'll as because the stencil
arising from these waters are injurious
and likely to spread disease the state
should throw every protection possible
around the water supplies of the state
The first test of the law of 1905 has
proven that the state has the right to
see that water supplies are pure, and
the hope of the people is that the law
will be strictly enforced against all Of
tenders.

Why Should He Not Be?

WASHINGTON, MAY 25.-As the ma
tional convention approaches the
friends of Senator Knox are more de.
termined that ever to bring about his
nomination. Gen. Chas. Miller, of
Franklin, Pa, prominent business
man and leader of the G. A. R., in an
interview voiced the sentiments of the
Republicans of his state.
When you ask if the people of Penn
sylvania have any serious thought that
Senator Knox will be nominated for
the Presidency at Chicago, 1 answer,
"Why should he not be?' was the re-
mark of Gen. Miller.
Perhaps men of other states look up
on Pennsylvania as so safely republi-
can that it is not necessary to think
that nominating a Pennsylvania man
for the Presidency. We have not had
a man from the Keystone State in the
White House since Buchanan, and |
think it is about time we were being
recognized. OF course we are serious
in our support of Knox for the Presi-
dency. We are fond of the Senator,
whom we know to be admirably quail
fled for that high place. He would
give us an administration that would
be a credit to himself and the country,
and would extend our business inter
ests. That is what we want the pro-
motion of our home Industries

remember the man who went to the

arm. He extolled the beauties of the

he got through the Jap said to him,
"Well, what do you want? | don't

your flag is pretty. But if you have
anything to sell, trot it out and let's
have look at it."

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, May %, 1908

Washington, May 23, 1908.
AS the first session of tho sixtieth
Congress draws to a close, the record
Of legislation is being auxiously scan
ned by those who will have to defend
the Congress against partisan attacks
in the coming campaign, and the most
cursory examination reveals an
amount oflegislation far in excess of
popular srpposition and including
many laws Calulated to reflect the ut
most credit on the Republican party.
Many important measures have failed,
it is true, and to the cursory observer it
might seem that those most needed
have failed Of enactment, but reflection
will demonstrate that it is the measures
which encounter opposition and excite
controversy which are most in the
public mind, as they are lnost promi-
nent in the public prints, while the
numerous wise and carefully framed
laws which the Republican maiorities
have enacted without much publicity
may prove Of even more importance to
the country than certain mooted ques-
tions.
During the past week the House has
made a desperate effort to agree upon
some form of anti-injunction legisla-
ton which would be satisfactory to
majority of the members and the same
time satisfy the demands of the labor
leaders, but without success. Two
long conferences of the Republican
members were held and the whole sub
ject carefully considered, but it was
found that nothing which the legal
authorities in the party could sanction
would satisfy the demands of labor, as
voiced by the leaders of labor organi-
cations, while the whole subject prov
ed so complicated and involved that
the effort had to be abandoned.
With adjournment momentarily
pending, the President and the House
leaders are making a strenuous effort
to secure some form of financial legis-
lation. The two houses have been in
deadlock on this subject, the Senate
willing only to make such extension
of bond secured currency as would
guard against an emergency, while the
House was determined to embark on a
new scheme of credit currency. 1t was
finally determined to do nothing
further, but to permit the financial bills
of the two houses to remain in status
quo until the next session. Then the
President sent for Speaker Cannon and
urged that final effort to secure legis-
lation be made. He pointed out that
the party could not but suffer if no
provision were made against a recur-
renee of the financial stringency of last
fall, and that without such provision
such recurrence was almost certain.
Did it occur again this year it would
be on the eve of the presidential cleo
tion and might work serious injury to
the party.
Spurred by the advice of the Presi-
dent, who is regarded as the ablest
politician in the party, the House lead
ers are trying to frame some sort of
compromise which.they can present to
Senate coDferrees and under these cir
cumstanco it is impossible to say when
Congress will adjourn, although ad-
journment is possible at almost any
moment All the big supply bills have
passed and only final agreements on
measures in conference remain to be
reached.

SPENCE.

Lloyd Spence who has been an inva-
lid for several years died at his home
at Sterling Run last Saturday morning.
Mr.. Spence was formerly a resident of
Shippen township, where he owned a
farm, and was an industrious citizen.
He was stricken with palsy several
years ago and had been in a very
feeble condition ever since. Shortly
after his affliction he moved his family
to Emporium where he resided until q
SHORT time ago when he moved to
Sterling Run.
Through all his years of suffering
his faithful wife and daughter tenderly
nursed and gave him every care within
their power to relieve and cheer him in
his affiiction, but on Saturday the end
came.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon and interment made at
in the Sterling Run cemetery.
