AMERICAN FLAG FIRED ON.
(Unted Press Service.)

Washington, ID. c., Aug. 10.-Dis-
patches from Tabriz, Persia, state
that the American flag over the Unit
ed States consulate was shot away
yesterday. The American consul at
Tabriz was instructed to warn both
revolutionists ana state troops that

Grated. The authorities here think

or another large number Of persons.
Certain communities in the neighborhood
of race tracks are almost wholly under
their influence
Let 1t be admitted that the gamblers
are strong both in numbers and means.
and are united against Gov Hughes.
Could they defeat him? If they made
the issue would not the people of char
acter in the state meet it? And If the
campaign for governor took such shape
through the initiative of the gamblers
would the result be in doubt? If sporting
men heretofore republican in politics were
to oppose Gov. Hughes. would not anti
sporting men heretofore democratic in
politics support him? And would he not
gain more than he lost?
But Gov. Hughes hold on the people of
New York is not confined to his attitude
toward the race-track gamblers. He has
shown as strong desire for the enforce
ment Of all other laws as for the anti
gambling laws. He is no respecter Of law
breakers. They all look alike to him.
He is in the broadcast and most compre-
hensive sense a champion of law and
order. and believes that the Governor of
New York should exert all the influence of
his Office in favor of public morals and the
general welfare.
The New York republicans will greatly
err IL they fail to renominate Gov. Hughes
not in the spirit simply of accepting the
challenge of the gamblers. but in that of
continuing at this important time in Office
at Albany a man who has shown such
exceptional general fitness for conducting
the affairs of the state.

Public Drinking Fountains.

At a meeting Of the Christian Endeavor
Society at one of the smaller chapels in
this city recently it was suggested that
drinking fountains should be established
outside Of all the churches of Washington
as q means of affording. the public a
chance to assuage their thirst without
going into barrooms. Some time ago The
Star had occasion to call attention to the
lack of public drinking fountains and ex-
pressed the hope that this lack would be
promptly remedied. 1t appears that the
Commissioners have laid the matter be-
fore Congress with a request for appro-
priations. which was ignored. Nothing
is to be done now save by private in
itiative, and the suggestion of church
fountains Is a move in this direction.
These fountains should be running at all
hours and all days, while on Sunday
there is special need of some means of
quenching the thirst. The question should
be definitely stated at the next session
before the appropriations committees in
a manner to force the attention of the
legislators to the fact that here in Wash
ington it is practically impossible for a
pedestrian to obtain drink of water
without buying 1t at a bar or drinking 1t
from horse trough.

Good Crops.

The Department of Agriculture's figures
regarding the condition of the cereal crops
are reassuring. 1t appears that the av-
erage condition Of spring wheat on the
first Of July was higher than the CORES
ponding average In July, 1907. by 20 per
cent and higher by 3.s per cent than the
ten-year average on July 1. The corn crop
showed a condition % per cent better
than the condition year ago. but %
per cent worse than the ten-year average
at this time. The comparison is most
effective as from year to year. and thus
the statistics are regarded as distinctly
encouraging as to both the principal
cereal crops 1t has been feared that
the high waters in Kansas and Nebraska
would seriously affect the harvest. but
later reports from the wheat belt indicate
that there is no substantial ground for
apprehension on this score.
1t is not desirable that the cereal crop
should be phenomenal. Abnormal yields
are not as wholesome as good average
products Of the soil. Bumper crops upset
all the calculations of dealers and farmers
and disturb values. Often it is impossible
to move them owing to the lack Of trans
portation facilities Railroads can fore
see and accommodate the normal CROP
moving demands Of the country, but
when the conditions are exceptional a
car shortage is almost certain to result
Farmers are more prosperous on the basis
OF good average yields OF their soil. When
every body Is raising a bumper crop prices
are almost certain to fall. The worlds
demands for grains are fairly met by

The Convict Candidate Declines.

Sad are the socialists of that particular
wing inclined to agitate to the limit. The
other day they thought they had struck
the plutocratic partisans plumb between
the eyes by nominating for President of
the United States gentleman who is
at present serving a twenty-five years
term in the penitentiary. His nomination
was hailed with screams of joy, and these
were succeeded by hysterical bowls of
happiness when later the nominee wired
his acceptance. These radicals had vi
sions of riding into power on the shoul-
ders Of their convict candidate notwith-
standing the impediments of the consti-
tutional prohibitions. Now they are cast
into the deepest gloom. This patriot pris-
oner has withdrawn from the race. He
has declined to measure swords with Taft
and Bryan and Watson and Debs and a
few others yet to be named by the I'M
considered trifies Of political organiza-
ton. His high civic spirit appears to
have oozed away somewhat on being as
sured by his attorneys that If he insisted
upon standing as the nominee of his
party he might lessen his chances to Sc
cure new trial, for which they are now
appealing. Thus a mere question Of per-
languishing advocate Of the rights Of
man from the path Of duty. So now the
socialists of that wing must get busy and
do 1t all over again. At this juncture
they are strongly moved to nominate as
Prestons successor on the ticket Mr.. Dan
lei DeLeon. who founded the party, and
who the other day placed the Nevada
convict In the race with speech that
should have shaken to the foundations
the citadel of vested rights, but for some
mysterious reason has thus far failed even
to jar the chandeliers. Mr.. DeLeon has
a peculiar qualification for this honor.
He is quite as ineligible under the Consti-.
tuition as Mr.. Preston. Whereas, the lat
ter is barred only by reason of the cir
cumstance Of his tender years and his
present isolation from society, Mr.. De-
Icons ineligibility is basic and incurable.
and therefore the more desirable from
his point of view. Having been born
abroad of foreign parents. he is regarded
by the Constitution as impossible, and
therefore 1t is quite likely that he will be
nominated triumphantly at the next con-
vention.

, The Big Game Story.

Keen interest has been displayed by the
public in the reports from oyster Bay
regarding the competitive efforts OF pub
fishers In New York to secure the rights
TO Mr. Roosevelt's African hunting
stories. Various extravagant sums have
been named as the bids made by some or
the book and magazine printers for this
privilege An impression has gained
xround that the President could have Sc
cured. II he did not actually secure. the
rate of a dollar a word for everything he
might choose to write apropos of his
South African experience. Viewed COM
mercially this should not be an incredible
sum. Mr.. Roosevelt's fame as hunter
has gone around the world. and probably
never before has a sporting expedition
been planned in circumstances to attract
such wide attention The President is
man of such vigorous personality and has
withal so forceful and strenuous style Of
narration that he Is sure to have a. series
of exciting adventures and to write about
them dramatically and interestingly.
Hgerythins he writes will be read with
the sharpest interest by millions of people.
He will not go to South Africa as a COM
monplace hunter seeking only meat and
skins He will travel as the scientific
slayer, the searcher for knowledge as we'll
as carcasses. Some scientists may aver
that there will be nothing doing in the
way of new light upon the geological
problems remaining unsolved. but the
average reader will care little for that
sort Of thing So long as Mr.. Roosevelt
hunts the giraffe and the elephant. the
rhinoceros. the hippopotamus and the lion
in the same fashion as he hunts the
mountain lion and the cougar. the bear
and other denizens of this continent. he
is certain to have exciting times. He will
set pace for the native guides and game
beaters. He will have hair-breadth es-
capes, and doubtless for generations to
come traditions will run in the bush and
the jungle of the great year when the
white man with spectacles came out of
the west and slew such enormous num-
bers of the native beasts with such
loud noise. 1t is only right that provi-
sions should be made in advance for so
momentous an expedition. Lucky, In
deed. is the publisher who has captured
the prize. even II he has to pay a dollar

Hughes and a Second Term.

In a circular letter declaring for the
denomination of Gov. Hughes appears
this paragraph:
From the governors attitude toward
public service in the past we feel sure
that If he saw the people demanded his
denomination he would consent to serve
again The call, however. must come
from the people. The issue at present be-
fore the state is a moral one. for laws
passed by representatives of private in
dividuals and interests are liable to be
very bad laws. and laws passed by rep
resentatives of the voters are likely to
be good laws. The denomination and re-
election of Gov. Hughes will insure us
the needed representative government"
1t is the assertion of persons opposed
TO Gov. Hughes that II renominated he
will be defeated by the sporting fra
ternity: that not only will every sporting
man in New York vote against him. but
that the sporting interests everywhere
throughout the country will contribute
money to be used against him in the
campaign.
Along with this threat goes an es-
innate Of this power. New York. it is
stated. is headquarters not only for race
track gamblers. but all other gamblers.

money. They employ in one capaciay

Publicity for Campaign Expenses.

The Star the other day suggested to
Chairman Lloyd Of the democratic con-
gressional committee. who had gone to
New York prospecting for campaign funds,
to open set Of books. put an expert ac-
countant In charge, and solve the much
discussed matter Of publicity for money
raised for campaign purposes. So far
there are no particulars as to Mr.. Lloyd's
visit. 1t Is not known If he has collected
any coin. or. II so. whether he has caused
any record to be kept of it.
The initiative, so far as the public is
advised. has been taken by the other
side. Mr.. Sheldon. the new treasurer Of
the republican national committee, an
nounces the procedure The Star recon-
mended to Mr.. Lloyd. He will open a set
Of books. have entered therein all contri-
buttons Of money made to the republican
cause. and then publish an itemized state
ment as to the sources of the contribu-
lions and the OUTLAWS of the money. A
business man himself. he will know how
to direct this strictly business feature
of his party's part In the presidential
contest
Will Mr. Bryan follow suit? Probably.
He has said so much on the subject he
cannot well neglect so significant lead.
The new treasurer of the democratic COM
mittee should under Mr.. Bryan's orders
do what Mr.. Sheldon has decided to do.
If he does, the country should know
more about this campaign than 1t has
ever known about any other.
The effect of this new policy on collec-
tions remains to be seen. 1t Is likely,
however. to cut them down. Rich men
will hesitate to subscribe large sums for
themselves, or for any interests they may
represent, when, later. the published list
is to pass under the severe criticism OF
both the press and the stump. There Is
no mercy in politics. When the game Is
on and the blood of the contestants is up,
everything is made to carry all the abuse
and Misrepresentation it will bear.
But collections should be cut down.
They have grown to be altogether too
large. though not as large by a long shot
as represented by perfervid spellbinders.
For example. Mr.. James Of Kentucky, In
seconding the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan
at Denver. declared that 1t had cost the
republicans twenty millions OF dollars 10
defeat Mr.. Bryan for the presidency. This
Of course was sheer rot, intended TO
tickle a worshipful audience. and add TO
q martyrs crown.

these average crops. and excessive yields
merely cause the storage of surplus just
as insufficient yields in bad years induce
sharp increases in the price Of foodstuffs.
The official statistics from the cereal
belt are. therefore. to be regarded as
practically guaranteeing the continuance
Of normal conditions in that respect There
may. of course. be disastrous visitations in
the west. Great cyclones or floods may
occur to devastate the wheat or corn field
before harvest time. Some disease of the
grains may sweep over the great farms.
The latter contingency. however, is re-
mote at this season. The chances seem
to be strong that there will be no trouble
on the score of the supply of cereals in
this country this year.
