The dulness, although natural for the season

sold stocks early causing declin,s of l to 2

TUESDAY EVENING. JULY 10. 1906.
SECRETARY TAFT in his speech st

SECRETARY TAFT in his speech at
Greensboro, n. G. yesterday took up
work which has wearied others engaged
in republican propsgandss this side oil
Mason and Dixon's line. He would re-
ioice to see breach in the solid South,
aud in futile eDdeavOrs to get in a wedge
has, like those who have preceded him,
found himself bombsrding fog bank.
Mr.. TAFT argued earnestly against tie
country returning democratic majority
to the House of Representatives, and ID
doing so indirectly expressed the apPre
tensions of his party. His praise OF
Theodore Roosevelt was extraVsgant, no
matter what may be placed to his credit
during the recent war on trusts and the
movement for equitable railroad rates.
If the President has played conspicuous
part in these sslutary movements he has
but done his duty, only this and nothing
more. There is no need of lionizlng
him or the party in power which is
merely getting out OF the way OF a
prairie fire OF public opinion which has
been gaining force for years, tanned as 1t
has been by a democratic minority to
whom all the credit is due after
all for the fumigation now going on.
The secretary expresses what has been a
patent fact ever since the birth of the
c9untry-lhat the south abOunds 10 able
men who are entitled by their inbors
genius and acquired abilities to figure
prominently 10 public affairs. This has
ever been recognized and for many years
the helm of state was in the hands OF
such. The present generation is OF The
same stock which has ever proven them
selves worthy sons of illustrious sires.
Mr.. TAFT attributed the present pros
perity of the southern country to the
high tariff, as have other republicans
who have appeared on the stump in the
south. This remains to be proven. The
prosperity of the south is th6 fruit OF
the honest toll of her people, who have
worked for all they possess, and their
wealth is the outcome of their Drawn and
brains, and not due TO protective tariffs
nor republican conditions. They have
achieved all this surrounded as they
have been for the last two scOre years
by hives of drones in the shape Of
manumitted blacks which the republl-
can party has vainly endeavOred to foist
upon the south as citizens. The people,
of this section ignoring national issues,
in a measure, have kept up a solid
South for their own protection, having
experienced the evils of republican rule
in the Southern States, and have ac-
quired wealth under democratic auspices
and under which they intend to remain.

and the President and Speaker are
guided by the committees counsel.
Mr.. Roosevelfs and Mr.. Cannon cannot
shirk their responsibility for the smoth-
ering of the measure" The failure Of
Congress to pass the bill is due largely
TO the President. If he had worked
for that important measure as he did
to get $25, 600 out of the treasury fol
his own private use in violation of the
"emolument" clause of the constitution,
there would have been an end OF cor
ruption 10 federal elections.

EDITORS who are accustomed to estl'
mate value of news must be impressed
sometimes with the difficulty of arriving
at accurate conclusions. That the shoot
ing of one mau by another in New York
could hold first place in New York
papers for whole week hardly seems
believabe, and yet more space has been
given to it than TO any stage OF the
.Jspenese- Russian war for the same length
of time. 1t is true, the story had all the
elements of sensationslism. including the
human interest phase. The persons In
yolved in the tragedy are more or less
prominent, and the man who did the
killing elected to do it in the most dra'
matte manner, but the facts would hard
~ account for the long run the story has
had. The bullet which snutfed out bis
life slso cut the cord which held the veil
over the real man, and the papers have
been full of startling revelations, with
dark hints of worse to come. 1t is per-
haps the mystery element in the killing
of Stanford White which appeals sc
strongly to the popular imagination
As SAYS the American Press:
1T has been delicate matter to ham
die. On the other hand, the press,
voicing the hest sentiment of the com
munity, must stand on the side OF law
and order; on the other hand, if half
printed about the dead man is true, there
is enough to arouse in every breast the
primitive thirst for vengeance and IN
stinct for self preservation which inheres
in human society.

Robber had Success in His Novel Angling

Reading. Pa, July, l0--Perhaps the
most peculiar robbery that ever took
place in Berkes county was brought to
the attention of the town constable of
Lorraine yesterday. The theft took place
at the home of Peter Boone, who is a
thrifty farmer, and always carries a con-
siderable amount OF money in his CLOTH
ing.
Boone sleeps in back room on the
second floor of bis home. During the
hot weather he keeps the windows
open. There are several large trees
outside of the building. Last night he
retired and hung his psntsloOns on
clothes tree at the foot Of the bed.
In the morning be was unable to find
his trousers, and was compelled to put
on an old pair.
Going into the yard, he found long
pole lying there, at the end of which
was fastened a steel hook. On the
hook hung his trousers. A wallet con-
tanning his money and gold watch and
chain we're missing. The burglar had
evidently climbed the tree, thrust the
pole 10 through the window, and fshed
for the trousers until he caught them
with the hook. 1t was then an easy
matter for him to get them out OF the
window and rife the pockets.

the republicans to the Tillmsn bill which
prohibited contribution from corpora
ton to political parties is now made
plain. That reliable republican and
administration organ, the New York
Tribune, read the riddle for the public
when il said: "The members OF the re-
publican campaign committee assert
positively that this will not be money
campaign There will be no effort to
get contributions from corporations, they
declare. But this hardly explains the
real objection OF President Roosevelt,
Speaker Cannon, and the silence Of
Chairman Cortelyou on such az import
ant measure" ''The present republican
national committee is the same band OF
sturdy political Puritans," says the New
York World, Chat managed Mr.. ROOse
velfs campaign in 1904 They are the
same gentlemen who so successfully re.
lieved the policy-hOlders of three New
York insurance companies ofabOut $3.50,
900, to say nothing of the millions that
they collect frOm other corporations.
1t stands to reason that such a
a committee would make no effort to get
contributions from corporations, but
while the committees morals are impreg-
nable, how about the corporations? VIII
not the railroads whose freight rates are
to be regulated by the republican party
insist on making generous contributions
toward the success of that noble Organi-
zation9 Will not the beef trust, which
is to be inspected from hour to hour
by republican administration, claim
the privilege of helping grease the
party of moral ideas to victory again ?
And as for the national banks, they 81
ways give quickly in order to give twice.
The New York insurance companies
cannot contribute because they are
forbidden 10 do so by State statutes, but
all the corporations that persist in throw
ing money through the trsnsom Of 8
campaign committee room are not or
ganized under the laws OF New York.
We shall believe that the republican
committee or any othe7 political COM
mitfee will decline corporation money
when we see this money actually re-
turned with no string tied to it. 1t is
aot worth while for the Tribune or ans
other honest republican newspaper to
seek TO make excuses for the indifference
of the President and Speaker Cannon

passed by the House because the Re-
publican National Committee is de.

Oyster Season Successful One.

As was predicted at the commence
ment of the dredging season, last Sep
tember. the market for Maurice River
Cove oysters this winter has been un-
preoedented, the shipment exceeding
anything ever known in this section
To two things is this successful work
due: First, the fine quality OF the
oysters, and. secondly. better and
speedier transportation facilities.
Never have Cove oysters been in better
shape, and that they were numerous
and propagated rapidly in the past
three years, is shown by the shipments
which have doubled any previous year
Nearly all oyster boats plying in the
Cove or Delaware Bay are now
equipped with gasoline winders. which
hoist the dredges when full of oysters.
Formerly all this was done by hand
power, and the use of other power en-.
ables boat to catch double the
amount of oysters the same space of
time.
Both the West Jersey and Central
Railroads do everything in their power
to facilitate the transportation of the
bivalves, and it is common sight to
witness seventy cars loaded with this
freight leave the wharves. The fine
flavor OF the oysters combined with
their being shipped so fresh has led to
a oemand for them this year that has
outclassed all other kinds in the mar
ket For these reasons, and the fact
that the Winter has been so mild and
,p n, many of the boats have laid up
for the season. having exhausted their
beds of all oysters that are of market.

age of the boats are tied up and
stripped. In Maurice River Cove, at
Dividing Greek, at Newport, Cedar
vile and Fairton the boats are lying
idle. Nothing will be done with them
until the May time planting season.
Then the boats manned with full
crews will be out upon the natural
beds in the Delaware Bay. The pros

High Mark for Bank Stock

Another high water mark has been
set for Cumberland National Bank
stock. On Saturday HI. L. Tyler, auc-
tloneer, acting as agent, offered at
public sale, two shares of the stock of
tnat institution. There were quite a
good many people about. The bid
ding for the stock started at $3.50 per
share. and in So bids reached $500.
Ihere the bidding dropped to 81 bids,
put the price continued upward until
So35 per share was reached and both
shares were knocked off to A. J.
ogden, of the Crystal Ice Company.
1t is by considerable, the highest
price ever paid for the stock.
Financiers could immediately figure
that as an investment the price paid
was far too great, but the hard fact
remains that in the open market,
competitive bidding fixed that price
ana the purchaser paid that amount
lor the shares he wanted.

turbance will reach Pacific coast about
II, cross west of Rockies by close of
10, great central valleys IA to 10, east.

Ihls disturbance will develop more
than usual intensities; all weather
features will be more prominent than
usual. Temperatures will reach the
top for this month as this disturbance
approaches. Rainfall will increase
and will be greater for next two weeks
than for past two.
Ihls warm wave will cause a gen.
eral thaw farther north than is usual
and will promise an early Spring but
the month will close cold and the
alternating freezes and thaws will not
be good for winter wheat. We are
approaching season of unusually
variable crop weather, SO radical that
corn, wheat, potatoes, fax, grass and
cotton will depend on the nature of
the soil to greater extent than for
years past. Some kinds of soil will
not pay for the seed and again we ad.
wise farmers not to sell good corn for
less than 80 cents.
The success of crops this year will
depend so largely on the lay of the
land and the quality of soil that we
cannot give good advice in a general
letter except to say that good CROPS
Will be produced where the soil fits
the crop weather: that the corn crop
Will be onefourth short of last year
and that wheat will not come nm TO
the average. Potatoes will not make
more than half crop.
My forecasts for January were fair
for most parts of the country west of
the Mississippi. but as a whole were
NOT good east of that river. The error
was clerical and not the fault of the
method For February my forecasts
proved to be good enough for any pur-

good according to the Clayton rules
which are so strict that so per cent. is
practically perfect.

course cannot use their names without
