CUMMINS WONT LIE FOR

Commerce Court

CRESTON, Iowa, June 4.-Senator
Cummins, in a vigorous speech at the
court house this afternoon, reached the
climax of the campaign in the Eighth
Republican congressional nomination
being waged by John Darrah of Chari-
ton against Judge H. M. Towner of
Corning.
Senator Cummins spoke on the real
issues in this campaign. He outlined
the work of the Cannon Aldrich organ
ization in controlling legislation for the
interests of the east and against the
interests of the west
Il love the Republican party, but
am not going to lie for it," asserted
Senator Cummins. "This tariff bill is
not a true revision downward. The
pledge of the party is yet to be re-
deemed"
The sentaor dwelt long on the rail-
road bill, saying that in it's present
form 1t contains many provisions that
are beneficial, also some that are not
In its original form, he said, it con-
tained vicious provisions and was the
boldest measure presented to congress
for approval in years.
Senator Cummins hit the court of

in the form it passed, asserting it cre-
ates board having more power than
ever given to any tribunal or any insti-
tuition of the people, and for which the
American people "haVe no more use

AERIAL LIGHTHOUSE FOR
SKY PILOTS THE LATEST

WASHINGTON. June Am aerial
lighthouse for the guidance of sky
pilots may at present sound fantastic,
but the first of them already has been
erected in Germany.
At Spandau, in Prussia. where the
experiments of the German war office
with aerial craft are largely conduct
ed, and nocturnal flights are increas-
ingly frequent, this pioneer beacon is
now in full activity. according to an
official report to the state department
from Consul Thomas H. Norton, at
Chemnitz.
The lighthouse consists only of an
elevated support on which rests, in
horizontal position. a wooden ring of
considerable diameter. This ring is
equipped with 3S powerful electric
lights. and an automatic arrangement
for interrupting the current at regular
intervals for a short period.
