The Error Of Lumber Tariff.
Bryan's commoner.

Bryan's Commoner.
| There is nothing more necessary to
the welfare of all the people than
lumber, and it ought to be as cheap
as possible. To put tariff on lumber
is like putting tax on salt and the salt
tax has ever been considered hard
ship, and it has always been resorted
to by despots, for no one can escape
such tax.
! But lumber is not only necessity
but 1T is a vanishing product, and a
tariff upon it simply stimulates fur
ther obstruction. If there is any one
product that ought to go the free list,
it is lumber. Not only is lumber one
of the necessaries of life-not only
do our timber lands need such pro-
lection as can be furnished them by
the free Importation of lumber-but
a tax on lumber imposes aheavy bur-
den npon all the people for the bene-
fit of very small percentage of the
people. What proportion of the Ameri-
can people can possibly be benefited
by tariff on lumber? The percent
age is exceedingly small. Even lin
the states where there are lumber In
terests, the majority of the people
are buyers of lumber rather than pro-
dncers.

Back to the Land.
lMeridian Dispatch,

The Dispatch has all along advocat-

homes and has several times endeav-

would accrue from modern farm life
over that of city or town life, especi-
ally for people of moderate means.
With the improvement Of the coun-
try homes, with mail delivered each
day at the farmers door, with tele-
phone connection with the whole
world, with the Improvement of coun-
try roads and with the-larger edca-

being offered by the country neigh
borhoods, the slogan of "back to the

thing.
On this subject the Mobile Register
has this to say:
Metropolitan newspapers are adj
vising those who are out of work in
the large cities to go to- the country
and either secure small farms or work

SUMMER VISITORS
 DREAM OF BATHING
 IS RUDELY ENDED
Trumbull Boarding House Keepers Advertise ''Cool Streams" But Those Who Wash In Them Are Fined.

Hang your clothes on a hickory limb, but don't go near the water" expresses a sentiment that appeals to the three young men who defied the authorities in Trumbull yesterday and went swimming in a brook that flows into the reservoir in that village. This reservoir is a feeder" for the Boards ley Park reservoir, and the public is warned by signs not to use the near by streams for bathing purposes. Abraham Stollmann, Jacob Moss, and Morris Wolfe strolled down the rail- road tracks from Stepney yesterday afternoon and were tempted to take plunge in a stream near the Trumbull station. Sheriff Olmstead of that town was on guard at the swimming pool and when the would-be bathers made their initial splash, he made all haste in getting to a phone. The auto- patrol responded to his call and after the bathers had dressed they were hurried to this city. Judge Foster each of the other two BIO and costs. Moss suffered the extra s5 because his story seemed to Judge Foster to won der from the truth. All appealed un- der bonds of $50 each.
 Moss, in his testimony said that he came from Boston and that in com pany with the other two young men went down the railroad for a walk but with no intention of going swim ming. He explained the fact that he carried a Turkish towel by saying that he wished tosprotect his shoulders from the heat of sun, as he wore only low necked undershirt- The pres ence of another towel among the three could not be accounted for and so Judge Foster branded Moss story as fiction. Attorney George Kane did not allow Wolfe to take the stand. Moss and StollmaEn claimed they arrived Thursday evening and were not fami- lar with the bathing restrictions of the neighborhood. Wolfe has lived in Trumbull for some time.
 Nathan Wolfe, father of Morris Wolfe, runs boarding house near the swimming pool. He is one of several boarding house keepers in that vicin- ity who have advertised that fresh water bathing facilities were at hand. The Hydraulic Company controls all the contributory streams to their re- servoirs and have warned the public not to use them in any way. Com plaints have heen received that the streams near the Easton reservoir are being used for the same purpose, and the sheriffs are waiting for the chance to make an arrest.

 Frankfort, Germany. July 31.-Count Zeppelin landed here at 3:30 this after noon in his new airship. the Zeppelin IT after a splendid flight against ad- verse winds from Friedrichshafen 22o miles to the southwsrd. The trip was made in 12 hours. The airship landed in the aerial exhibition grounds and the vast crowd gave the veteran aero naut a hearty welcome. The big air ship manoeuvred over the city in a series of intricate movements for near ly an hour before alighting. Every housetop in the city was crowded. Guns were fired and bells rung. At times the big vessel encountered winds that blew from fifty to sixty miles an hour.
 Berlin, July 31-Count Zeppelin in his new airship, Zeppelin II and ac- comPanied by several guests, left FriedrichShafen on Lake Constance at 3:30 o'clock this morning to sail to Frankfort for the aerial exhibition be- ing held there. Among the Count s guests are Garrett Colsman and Cap tain George. The airshfp passed Ul- mat shortly after o'clock when it encountered a heavy wind which car ried it to tremendous height. Then a wind of from 50 to 60 miles an hour was encountered and the big ship be- naVeQ Splend1dly. The flight over the mountain range was one of the crown ing aeronautic achievements of the Count when the velocity of the wind is considered.
 The propellers had difficulty in hold ing the ship to it's course and for a time it looked as though she would be driven over the lake The Count pointed her upward and finally, after reaching height of 400 feet found the wind more favorable and sailed grace fully away
 At Geislingen, the airship encoun- tered heavy hailstorm and was delayed for 25 minutes after which it resumed its flight without difficulty. At 10:45 the ship reached the old town of Heil- bron where the people gathered and cheered the aeronauts. The national hymn was sung. While proceeding over Ulm, Zeppelin dropped a message for his wife who remained at Fried richshafen. telling her to fear nothing on account of the wind. Near Schwaebischer Alb, >the airship ran in- to two counter air currents and had to descend close to the ground. Zeppe- lin was plainly apprehensive as the ship drew near Goepping gen, where he lost one of his afrships in a recent ac- cfdent- Captain George dropped a note from the ship as 1t passed over Cannstatt, one of the suburbs of Stutt- gart, giving the description of the flight up to that hour.
