States one better this year and visitors to
the Badger agricultural exposition in Mil

unusual spectacle of two aviators in the

1t was with the Curtiss aeropIane that
Lincoln Beachey made the sensational flight
across Niagara Falls a few weeks ago. It
was also q Curtiss machine that J. A. D.
McCurdy made his memorable fight from
Key West to Havana. 1t is the Curtiss
machines that the United States War
Department and Navy Department have
adopted and which were used in the recent
naval and military mancuvers off New York
harbor.

Attack Like Tigers

In fighting to keep the blood pure the
white corpuscles attack disease germs
like tigers. But often germs multiply
so fast the little fighters are overcome.
Then see pimples, boils, eczema, salt
rheum and sores multiply and strength
and appetite fail. This condition de-
mands Electric Bitters to regulate stom-
ach, liver and kidneys and to expel pol
sons from the blood. ''They are the
best blood purifier" writes c. I. Bud
aim of Tracy, Calf, Il have ever

strong nerves and build up your health.

to how Pen Mar got it's name. 1T is or
Cornish extraction" says the LancaS-

THREE NATIONS JOIN

Experts Will Arbitrate in Cases of
Disagreement Between Nations
Conventions Outgrowth
of Taft's Speech.

Three of the greatest nations with
United States as the central figure and
moving spirit, joined hands in open
ing the way to the coverted goal Of
peace.
America and Great Britain and
America and France signed general ar
filtration treaties for the peaceful set
Element of all disputes that may be
locked up in the mystery OF the flu

national houor or vital interests of the
signatOries, subjects invariably except

Jean Jules Jusserand, French am
bassador to the United States, now in
Paris, the first diplomat to accept
President Taft's suggestion that all
quarrels between nations could be ar
bitrated, signed the convention in that
city at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, or
8 a. m. Washington time. Six hours
later at the White House, Secretary
and French treaties, and James Bryce,
British ambassador, signed the agree
ment with Great Britain President
Taft witnessed the signing ceremonies.
The general features of the new
treaties are:
All differences internationally just
iviable shall be submitted to the

some other tribcnal is created or Sc
lected.
Differences that either country
thinks are not justiviable shall be re-
ferred to a commission of inquiry,
composed of nationals of the two
governments, empowered to make rec
concentrations for their settlement
Should the commission decide that the
dispute should be arbitrated, such
decision will be binding
Before arbitration be resOrted to,
even in cases where both countries
agree that the difference is suscept-
BILE of arbitration, the commission Of
inquiry shall investigate the dispute
with a view of recommending a settle
ment without arbitration
The commission, at request of either
government, will delay it's findings one
year to give an opportunity for diplo-
matte settlement.
The senate will ratify the terms of
submission Of each dispute to arbitra-

The conventions grew directly out
of President Taft's speech in Washing
ton, Dec Is last, before the American
Society for the Judicial Settlement of
International Disputes, in which he
said:

establish, as between them, the same
system of due process of law that
exists between individuals under a
government"

THE CITY IN TROUBLE.

In these days, when the first thought of so many
of cities, well of not few of people, is
ask somebody to give them anything they want it
is distinctly pleasant to hear that the Mayor of Ban
gor, while grateful for the offers of help that have
come to him so promptly in behalf of his
elloYto that they prefer to rely on their own
resources AS he puts it, Il believe take
of our unfortunate citizens without outside assistance
and aid will be accepted until it is found to be alb
soutely necessary"
The towns that have made the offers may find in
this announcement certain ungraciousness but they
should remember and probably will, that in the cir
the Mayor could not be expected to search
long for phrases in which to veil his refusal
The refusal too is conditional-Bangor will accept
gifts if its own of relief prove to be inadequate
taking of its homeless people That is exact
ly what a city should do when disaster has come
upon it, though fully realizing, of course that If
absolutely necessary" assistance can be accepted
without the slightest loss of dignity.
Indeed, the necessity need not be quite absolute
to render acceptance of aid permissible for it is prac
ticay disadvantageous for the country at large that
any the cities should fall too deeply into trouble or
he too long in recovering calamity 1t is there
fore something like right as we'll privilege for
all of them hasten the return to prosperity of one,
and the se-respect of the need not suffer when
it only takes what it would have been glad to give
had the relation between itself and of its bene-
factors been reversed.
Still, it is admirable to prefer self-hep to outside
assistance no matter how freely the latter may be
offered Municipalities as well individuals can be
pauperized, and some of them have come to think
much less than the absolutely necessary sufficient
excuse not only taking aims but for asking them
There is golden in this thing, as in most 9th

it, but any rate the miss on the safe, not the

requiring his approval. So far his
course has been far above criticism
and his former opponents and de-

Judges Assignments.
Among the bills signed by the
Governor this week was one provid-
ing for the assignment of Judges to
hold court in districts other than
their own. 1t is provided that
judges whose time is not entirely
occupied with judicial work in their
own districts shall certify to the
Prothonotary of the Supreme Court
as to the time they can devote to
holding court elsewhere, and judges
who need assistance shall also file
with that official information as to
their needs. Visiting judges are to
be allowed twenty dollars a day and
car fare, in addition to their regular
annual salary. Judges needing help

Penrose Head.
Senator Penrose succeeds Senator
Aldrich as the head of the Finance
Committee, one of the most import
ant in that dignified and responsible
body known as the u S. Senate.
In accepting this he was obliged to
relinquish the Craftsmanship on Post
offices and Post roads, position
which he was especially fitted for and
which he has ably filled for some
years. AS the senior Senator from
the banner Republican state in the
Union, the head of a thoroughly Or
ganized party in his home state, by
education and training a scholar and
statesman, Senator Penrose has
easily won his way to the front
ranks of the Republican party and
is national figure. His services
to the state and to the nation en-
title him to far greater recognition
than he has yet received, and he
would undoubtedly be chosen to be
his party's nominee for President,
were it not for the fact that such
honor seems to be regularly denied
to a Pennsylvania. Senator PEN
rose has enjoyed the confidence of
all the Republican Presidents since
entering the Senate, and is always
called into conference for advice and
counsel when national affairs are
discussed. AS chairman of the FL
nance committee he will be regard
ed as the leader of the Republican
party in the U. S. Senate, occupying
a position second only to the Presi-
dency. Pennsylvania has just cause
to be proud of him.
