RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA.
There is much favorable comment from newspapers of every party on
the action of Congress In passing the Canadian reciprocity treaty. The
largo part played by President Taft In bringing about the success of the
issue is dwelt upon by all the editors, and he is praised without stint for
his courage and the unfailing confidence that he had In the proposition.
On the other hand, the President is generous beyond measure in his ap
preciation of the assistance given by the Democrats in bringing Canadian
reciprocity to pass. It is a rare thing indeod for a Republican President
to come out In a formal statement acknowledging the credit that belongs
to the Democratic majority in the House, and proves the sincerity of the
man. " The Democrats did not ' play politics,' says the President, "but
they followed the dictates of a higher policy." The comments of some
of the leading newspapers of the country on the Important step taken by
Congress, which Is believed to mark a new era In industrial relations be
tween Canada and the United States, are of much Interest.

and political triumph for President Taft. It is also, and more, a great
and precious advance In the path of prosperity for the nation. With amaz
ing energy, spirit, skill and ability he waged a campaign of education In
every part of the land. The result is a vindication of the Inherent good
sense of the people, as well as of the high standard of public duty of the
President. Tho President has literally tried his case before the people,
and by the force of the conviction he has Implanted In the public mind, he
has won.
The New York Sun: The economic and commercial effects of recipro
city with Canada must be tested by time; and the abundance of prophecies
of good or ill to come from it may be dismissed as essentially poetical.
A political effect of the discussion of the agreement has been disclosing It
self gradually since Mr. Taft's message to Congress on January 20, and
with particular clearness In the last few weeks. .Mr. Taft has gained
remarkably in public estimation, and the Insurgents have sagged steadily
In reputation until there seems to be a general feeling of disgust at their
insincerity, selfishness and double dealing. Mr. Taft has -shown that he
Is a frank, bravo and capable leader. Tho Pregresslve saints have lost
their halos; the congregation of the hypocrites Is desolate.
New York Tribune: The President's programme has won its way
against selfish and narrow opposition because It was broad-guaged, patri
otic and right. It would have been pleasanter to find a larger number
of Republicans In Congress supporting a programme so obviously sound and
beneficial.
New York World: By the passage of the reciprocity act In the Senate
of the United States a splendid triumph was won for the people against
Partisanship, against Privilege, and In the high cause of Peace. It Is mat
ter for just pride that neither of the great historic American parties can
claim exclusive or even exceeding credit for this fine act. In the great
movement for Peace which is being urged throughout tho world side by side
with that struggle for the better realization of tho Industrial and political
welfare of the masses of the people, with which It is firmly linked, Cana
dian Reciprocity will he one more Inspiring forward step. It will carry
dismay no less to the lords of war than to the arrogant pets of commercial
and industrial favoritism.
Philadelphia Ledger: The passage by the Senate of tho measure pro
viding for reciprocal trade concessions between Canada and the United
States is tho most Important piece of legislation and the most useful and
valuable act of constructive statesmanship since the day John Sherman
announced tho resumption of specie payments, which was the turning
point in sound finance and In the tremendous effort of this country to
ward recovery from the blows of the Civil War. It has been Mr. Taft's for
tune to perform an act, and to get Congress to ratify it, that gives the
brightest promise to bringing the whole tariff question down to a business
like discussion and treatment for the next generation. We count it of
the greatest good fortune that in the enactment of the law the Democrats,
whether from self-interest or broad statesmanship, joined In this move
ment, and share in the triumph.

OUR BOYS
EDITED BY
The Boy Scouts go Into camp up
on one of tho hills back of the Maplo
City the first week in August. About
two-thirds of the twenty-five young
Americas belonging to Patrols A, B,
C, and D will spend several weeks
out in the open.
Ninety dollars was cleared at their
recent benefit performance at the
Lyric Theatre, and this sum will be
used for tho purchase of tents.
Inasmuch as most of tho boys
work during the day they will only
spena me nignt in, and havo break
fast at the camp.
In tho opinion of the Scout Mas
ter, E. G. Jenkins, a number of the
boys who have been smokers for
years, some without their parents'
knowledge, and others openly, are
showing a disposition to cut out to
bacco, because of tho objection of
neaaquarters to it.
While there doesn't seem to bo
any hurrah about the new movement
In the frigid zone of 'Honesdale, still
It is showing a steady, wholesome
growth. The boys are taking hold
of the work in a way that assures Its
ultimate success.
They are not raising any big out
cry about what they aro doing, but
they are going about their work in
a matter-of-fact way. Scouts, by the
way, are not supposed to make
much fuss about their daily tasks.
To them drudgery Is a delight.

THE AMATEUR
PHOTOGRAPHER
Chapter three of Frederick Han
kin's article on color photography:
" There aro many processes of
color photography in use to-day,
each affording a considerable range
for the reproduction of colors, and
each possessing certain advantages
over other processes, but none of
them as yet has been able to offer
the most essential item necessary to
successful color photography a
photographic paper which is able to
receive satisfactorily the color Im
pression. There aro many investi
gators who declare that such a pa
per cannot be made.
" Color photography Is based upon
the accepted theories of light rays.
It has long been known that a ray
of light passing through a prism,
the simplest form of a spectroscope,
is broken up Into the colors of the
rainbow. Not only is tho scientist
able to analyze a light ray as the
chemist analyzes a chemical com
pound, but he is able to build It up
again. This can readily be Illus
trated with three pieces of colored
glass. If one takes these three
pieces, one red. one green and one
blue-violet, and puts them all to-
getner, the light passing through
them will be white. Taking any two
of tho three pieces he may make
still different colored lights.
" Another property of light which
has its bearings upon color photo
graphy is the fact that it consists of
waves of varying lengths. Scientists
have been able to advise measuring
machines which can measure a dis
tance much shorter than the mil
lionth part of an inch. With these
Instruments they have been able to
measure the length of the light rays
which make the different colors."
