POISON IN MUSHROOMS.

The poisonous substances in some
of the mushrooms or "toadstools' are
known chiefly by their physiological
effects. This is in marked contrast
to our knowledge of poisonous sub
stances in other groups of plants. The
alkaloids found in many families OF
seed-plants are the best known OF
these vegetable poisons, on the chem
ical side. Among the more common
are morphine, nicotine, atropine and
aconite other poisonous substances
found in seed plants belong to the
group of compounds called "gluco-
sides" of which digitaine is a we'll
known example.
The poison of the "fly amanita"
(Amanita muscaria) is also an aka
loid. "muscarin." But the cores
ponding substance in the deadly
amanita" (Amanita phalloides) has
entirely different properties and can
not be separated from the fungus by
the same methods. other mushrooms
have produced sickness and death,
but the chemistry of the active prin-
ciple in these forms has not been
worked out
Two years ago members of the
household of DIR. w. c. Deming show
ed symptoms of acute poisoning that
were traced to the eating of some
mushrooms belonging to the species
Inocybe infida. Among the symptoms
were nausea very much increased
heart action, dizziness, pain in the
abdomen and profuse sweating. At
the suggestion of Prof w. ]. Gies,
director of the Laboratory of Bio
logical Chemistry, Columbia Univer-
sity, Messrs Ernest d. Clark and
John L. Kantor undertook to isolate
the poison from this fungus and to
find out its characters.
1t was possible to make extracts
containing the fungus poison, which
is similar in some respects to mus
carin, though different in its effects
upon frogs which were used for the
physiological experiments. Extracts
OF the fly amanita were fatal in
strengths that produced only prolong-
ed lethargy with eventual recovery
| in the case of extracts of the Inocybe.
Muscarin acts directly upon the
nervous system; the poison of the
deadly amanita acts upon the blood.
dissolving the red corpuscles. Atropin
has been successfully used as an an
tidote to muscarin; there is no known
| antidote for the blood-laking poison
of Amanita phalloides. Both poisons
resist the action of heat.-Scientific

draws it's decision in that respect on
the plea that it has not money enough,
although the taxation is kept at the
old rate, and although there have been
large and general increases in the sala-

And now comes the State Pure Food
Commission in the matter Of ''pop'
bottles, first declaring against their use,
and allowing the continued use Of
the "pop.' 1t appears that the or

the "pop" "bottle men unaware with
large numbers of these bottles on their

as though those so acting ought to have
known Of this condition before passing
the order, but evidently the order was
passed in ignorance of the business con

READY TO KNIFE TAFT.

There is evidence coming to the
front, gradually, but surely, Just as
The Tribune expected would be the
case. that tho Federal bunch In this
State is weakening in it's support oil
President Taft. We have never been
able to see how that support could be
genuine and sincere At the most, 1T
can be based only upon temporary
subservience of Smoot to President
Taft. whereas the gratitude of Smoot =
heart must impcl him towards Roose'
volt. since it was Roosevelt who as
President made Smoot s case partisan
question, and so saved for Smoot his
Senatorial seat.
The zeal OF the Federal bunch organ
here for President Taft has bleschcd
out scaudalously since Roosevelt began
TO show strength in the primaries by
virtue of the Democratic vote therein
for him. This is precisely as we had
expected, and if the Federal bunch
should fail. az good many think that
il will fail, to instruct the Utah dele
gates for Taft in Its convention at

cause no great surprise TO any one in

SECRETARY KNox's SPEECH,

The speech of Secretary Knox IN
Los Angeles on Thursday evening Is
one of the strongest of the campaign
II stauuchly defended President Taft
from the unfair criticisms of Col. Roose-
Welt. and Mr.. Knox stigmstized Roose-
welt as man prompted by whims and
ef ''imperial ambitions, vanities, and
mysterious sntipathies, and as one
who would break the rule OF his party
and his country and his own solemn
word 10 gain the seat of his friend.
He stigmatized the "ncw natlonalism
of Col. Roosevelt as an assault upon
the autonomy of the States of the same
character as the secession propaganda
Of 1861 was upon tho integrity OF the
Union.
Referring TO the Roosevelt claim that
President Taft is unfit for reelection
TO the Presidency. Mr.. Knox cited Col
Roosevelt S language in 1908 IN COM
mendipg Taft as "the true friend of
reform, the true foe of abuses and
Mr. Knox proceeded TO show from the
record the achievements Of President
Taft IS administration that administra-
tons good service, precisely in the
line Of the Roosevelt commendatiop OF
Taft four years ago.
As to the charges that President Taft
is seeking the support Of "the bosses, y
Mr., Knox replied for President Taft
that Mr. Roosevelt sought and had the
support of the bosses In his campaign
of 1904, and that Gin many places now
his interests are in the hands Of re-
jccted and disaffected political bosses
whose political offenscs smell to high
a center shot; and those
bosses and ''the interests are sup
plying Roosevelt with an enormous
fund.
The Secretary closed his speech by
Of the claims to reform by
President Taft and Col. Roosevelt re-
spectively, showing convincingly and
the superiority Of Presi-
dent Taft, both in lawful promise and
effective performance. The speech was
one of the best of the campaign, and
was delivered with vigor and convinc-
ng reasoning that cannot fail to help
President Taft s cause in California.

PARTY LIFE INVOLVED.

The Smoot organ insists that The
Tribune, in objecting to a partisan
Judiciary in this district, is attempting
to destroy the Republican party; that
is unless the Republican party in Utah
can have a partisan judiciary IN the
Third Judicial district, it will be all
broken up, The question naturally
arises, what is it that the Republican
party has in view that Will need parti~
san Judges in this district to save it
from destruction? What lawless coup
has the Federal bunch in view that 1T
requires partisan judiciary to save
the Republican party from its lawless
effects7
On Thursday morning, The Tribune re-
printed from the Smoot organ its edl-
torial- platform for the Republican judi"
cial campaign this year, That edi-
torial- platform was an argument from
first TO last in favor not only Of parti-
san judges. but of partisan judicial de-
cisions 1t cited the electoral commits
sion of 1876, recalling that the Supreme
court Judges VINO were upon tHat con-
mission ranged up according to their
party affiliations; it stated that the in"
come tax was decided on party lines,
and that in the insular cases "Repub-
Ican Judges held with the views Of the
Republican party and the justices of
the opposite political faith were dia~
metrically opposed thereto

Justices of the Supreme Court who

that in Lawson s talk about delegates
"appointed by the bosses, ne loses
sight altogether OF the fact that this
revolt against the bosses in Massachu-
setts was the great help TO Roosevelt
and the great loss to President Taft.
The Inconsistency Of all that sort of
raving is manifest; and vet that is the
sort Of thing that is common and has
been common right along in the Roose'
welt campaign.
The third-term issue figured some

Thus. the Taft League publiclv put
the following question direct to Roose-
velt,
will you be a candidate for a fourth
term? In case this answer is No will
1t have the same meaning al your state
ment on November T. 1904: Under no
date?"
No reply was received; Roosevelt ut
terlv ignored it, and not one of his
supporters dared to come forward with
even the suggestion of an answer The
question WAS decidedly pertinent to
the canvass, and ought to have been
answered; but IL was not, because
Roosevelt IS course left no possibility
for any honest answer to be given.
His trcachery and falsity put him in
such position that it was not pos.
sible for him to answer question like

the income tax was decided on party
lines, nor that the insulsr cases were
so decided. However, the facts have
no particular bearing on the argument
one way Of the other. because tho owl
dent intent was to brace up the propo'
sition that partisan judges are not only
desirable, but inevitable, and the cita-
tions were evidently designed TO up
hold the propriety Of Judges making
partisan party decisions. And now it
appears that the very existence Of the
Republican party in Utah depends upon
the election Of party Judges in this dis
trict, who will do this partisan service,
and that The Tribune, in speaking for
A nonpartisau judiciary. and against
party service by Judges on the bench,
is eudeavoring to destroy the Repub.
lican party

partisan Judges who arc TO be elected

appears, therefore, that not only is 2
partisan Judiciary desirable. but that
any one who says that il is not desir
able is hypocrite, and any one who
thinks that judge should not "radi

political party Of which he is nom

of course, radiated from the bench AT

cedents claimed, decide judicial Ques
