Warrington, June 23.--Senator
Tiilman took occasion today to set
himself right on the lumber propo-
sition. He voted some weeks ago
against the McCumber amendment to
put lumber on the free list. Follow
Ing the statement he made several
days thereafter that he did this be-
cause the McCumber amendment did
not include all classes Of lumber,
he stated on the floor Of the senate to-
day that he had been awaiting an op-
portunity 10 vote for free lumber
when all grades Of lumber should be
included. He voted today for an out
and out free lumber schedule.
This leaves Messs. Lever and Ell

They will make no statement for pub

are willing to face their constituents
On the subject at the proper time.
When the Dingley bill passed. SEN
ator TRlman voted for 50 duty on
rough lumber, stating at that time
that II there was to be any stealing
ne wanted his share. This year he
has announced that he has given up
that doctrine, as he has found that ne

else gets 1t. and he says In this case
they are the big lumber syndicates

SAID BY Il cYNlc.


Breezy conversation is often merely
hot air.
Dame Rumor is the mother Of mis-
fortune.
The coming man sometimes misses
connections.
1t is no trouble for some people to
look for it.
The chronic kicker is the first to
roar If he is kicked.
If we should all love our enemies,
we wouldn't have any.
The friendship We have to purchase
isn't worth the price.
Some people ara altogether too prop.
er to be interesting.
The fool and his money ire soon
parted, but there are lots more.
It isn't what q man wants, but what
he has, that makes him c~ontented.
It doesn't necessarily follow that be-
cause you are right you won't be
left.
There are lots Of things we should
forget to remember, Or remember to
forget.

religion may land where he won't
