An impairment Suggestion

The Jones County Uowa) Times is
pursuing course that will result in its
becoming very much dislikcd in the
camp OF The "stand. patters. " Referring
to the proposition to remove the tariff
on structural steel, lumb and Other
building material imported for the re-
building of San Francisco, in order
that the people OF the stricken city
may secure such material at the low.
est possible cost, the Times says:
AZ the claim made by our Repub.
llcan brethren is true, that the foreigner
pays the tax, why not let the tariff on
building material remain aud donate
the amount of the tax paid by the
foreigners on such material to the
sufferers of the stricken city,"
The Times has punctured the whole
protective tariff theory by one sug-
gestion. If The foreigner pays the tax
the removal of the tax will not help
San Francisco. II the foreigner does
not pay it, then the tax is an unjust
burden upon the people. The Com
moner ventures to predict that not one
of the "stand-patter" organs in Iowa
will dare oppose the humane suggestion
made by the Jones County Times.
They will have to content themselves
with making faces at the Times and
calling it the usual names. The Com
moner.

a custom of the Federal Govern

Is talking of him for President in
1905. Mr.. Bryan is expected to
arrive in New York about the LIST
of August from his trip around the
world, and plans are being made to
give him rousing ovation and
welcome. This feeling for Bryan
has long been uppermost in the
minds of the great masses OF the
party, and the endorsement given
him at the Missouri State Demo-
cratic Convention last Tuesday and
the speech of Governor Francis,
who was aligned with the oppo.
sitlon to him in 1896, has aroused
the budding sentiment in the East
to open enthusiasm.

Former Governor David X. Fran.
els made speech at the State
Democratic Convention last Tues
day in which he declared for vii.
liam j. Bryan for President in
1908, aud we are told the cOnven-
ton was swept off its feet by the
declaration. That was significant
not the enthusiasm of the conven.
tiou, but the declaration of Gov.
Francis. Mr.. Bryan has not
changed his principles and policies
since 1896 they were straight
Democratic goods then and they
are straight Democratic goods now.
The significance OF Gov. Fran
els open declaration for Bryan at
this time is that those Democrats
who went off after strange gods in
1896 and 1900 or gave a reluctant
support to Mr., Bryan, because of
the dominant issue set forth in the
Democratic platforms of those
years, are beginning to recognize
their mistake and are getting back
to safe Democratic bearings. Yes,
MIR. Bryan is the greatest AMI most
popular exponent of Democratic
principles of this generation and
the logical national standard
bearer Of the party for 1908. Gov.
Francis is wise to see the drift of
public sentiment and feeling, and
it is also clear that prominent
Democrats of the Eastern States
are beginning to see the light and
recognize the fact. ]

MAIDSTONE" FUR CAT BITE
Man Sends to Indiana for Famous
Charm Which Family Got from
Descendant of Indian Chief
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
READING, Pa, April 26.-The fa-
nous Bundy maidstone" has been
brought into Berks county from In
diana, in the hope that 1t will cure the
strange condition in which Basil Sneed-
er of Halderman's mills has fallen,
following a cat bite four months ago.
He has not shown any of the symp-
toms of hydrophobia, but he is unable
to close his left eye. His left arm is
rigid and without sensation, and the
wound inflicted by the cat on Sneed-
er's cheek is still open.
The Bundy maidstone" is said to be
the oldest and certainly is the most
famous in the country. 1t Is owned in
New Castle. Ind, where it has been in
the family for forty years. 1t was OBJ
tanned in North Carolina in 1915 from
an Indian woman of great age. She
declared it had been the property of
her tribe for generations and had been
descended to her from her grandfather,
who was a chief and lived close to the
Big Water when "the Ship the May
flower) brought white men from across
the seas.
One of the Bundy children in North
Carolina was afflicted with serious
malady, and the old woman, who had
been sheltered and fed, wished to SHOW
her gratitude and applied the charm
to the child. 1t clung like leech for
two weeks and the legend runs that
the child recovered. The aged owner
of the stone was cared for until her
death, and her last conscious act was
to will the maidstone" to the Bundys.

Clear Streets of Debris
A surprising degree of activity pre-
vailed this morning throughout every
portion of the ruined business district.
Hundreds of men in the city's en-
ploy were engaged in the clearing of
the streets of debris, while employees
of banks, insurance concerns ana
wholesale houses swarmed over piles
of brick and masonry in search OF
definite information concerning safes
and vaults, and in order to gain an
exact idea of the damage.
While army engineers were dynamlt-
ing tottering walls a few blocks away,
surveyors with their instruments were
fixing the sites of new buildings to be
erected Immediately.
Building inspectors climbed to the
topmost stories of the structures that
escaped entire destruction and leading
business men congregated at the street
corners to discuss future plans
Many Depressions Found
Three parties sent out by City En-
gineer Thomas p. Woodward for the
purpose of ascertaining whether or
not the city as whole had sunk as
result of the recent earthquake shock,
made partial report today.
The partial report shows no general
depression. though there are many
places throughout the city where there
are bad sinks
The most noticeable depressions are
on Valencia from Nineteenth to Twen-
tieth, lower Market, Howard and Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth, Van Ness
from Vallejo to Green, and on Folsom
in the region of Seventeenth street
The southeast corner of the new post
office building extended over an ole
swamp, and here there is depression
of fully four feet.
Made Ground Sinks
The sinking is confined almost en-
| tirely to the lower parts of the city
and particularly to made ground. Mr.
| Woodward gives as his opinion thai
| there was no general depression o1
the city whatever
OF all the large residences through
out the region known as Mob Hill, mo-
