TAFT REFERS TO RETURN
TO LESS ACTIVE LIFE"
Tells Cincinnati Club 1t Has
Both Welcome and Un-
welcome Phases.

Formally accepting for Mrs. Taft and
by the Commercial Club of Cincinnati.
Ohio, at the luncheon rendered him by
the club at Chevy Chase, President Taft
yesterday afternoon referred to the pos
sibility of ''gofng back to a less active
life.
"As I look about this table" the Pres
ident said, land exercise such memory
as has been left to me after my expert
ence in Washington. almost every face
brings up some incident in my life at
Cincinnati that l like to cherish. and
as the time grows nearer when / shall
go back to Cincinnati to make 1t my
permanent home, as retiring place for
one ex-President. the pleasure of retro
specton as to Cincinnati friedships
grows greater and greater
Mrs. Taft and l esteem the coming
OF the Commercial Club here to attend
our silver wedding as the chief pleasure
of the occasion. 1t is an indication that
you men of affairs have been willing to
take the time to come here. to give an
expression of good will and Of fellowship,
which the objects OF 1t ought to value and
do value most highly.
1T is not SO long since We left Cincin-
natl. 1t is only twelve years, and twelve
years In the life of a man, or the life
Of nation, or the life of an associa-
tion as we grow older and look back,
is not period of very long duration.
But We have to mea sure time rather by
events than by the tick of the watch:
and certainly in twelve years 1t has fallen
to my lot to have a great many unusual
things hammer TO me

CHICAGO, June 2O.-In wild whirl OF

to the fact that severe crop damage re-

The prevalent view was that taking

Remarkable Changes.

ITO be transplanted from one civiliza-
ton to another. from contact as civil
ian, or as the arm OF the administration
of justice. to the chief executive. for
the time being. Of eight millions of peo-
pie. is a tremendous change; and to have
the last four years made period such
as / have experienced is to prolong the
period until it seems almost a lifetime.
And then to come to Washington and
to remain six or seven years, under con-
dtions SO different from those at home,
creates a period that has much greater
distance in 1t, so to speak, than the
mere months or years of its duration.
The effect that it has upon ones life and
character is something that one realizes
fully. but cannot explain.
"Of course. there are others who have
had similar experiences. but l venture to
say that it is rather exceptional to in
clude within a limit of little more than a
decade that which has happened to me
to go from the somewhat hundrum, but
always delightful life of judge. who
could retire from public life in any sense
without being exposed to criticism to a
place where there seemed to be nothing
but criticism, was a change that only a
man who has been through 1t can fully
understand.

New Orleans, June. Cotton futures
opened quiet and steady to points up
on the old crop months and 2 points up
on the new. Gables were very favorable
and influential private estimates of con-
uition and acreage were smaller than
expected. The weather map was called
favorable, since ii showed a considerable
&mount Of rainfall in the eastern half Of
EHe cotton belt. and particularly in the
Etlantics where it was badly needed.
This held prices down on this side. At
the end of the first half hour Of trad
ing. prices were to points over yes
terday's close.
The forecast of fair weather for all por-
lions Of the belt and a great number of
complaints of drouth from many parts Of
the cotton country strengthened the mar
ket stin more around the middle Of the
morning. Offerings became very slender
and the list was put to points over

COTTON MARKET
CLOSES STEADY
BY Associated Press


New York, June 1.-The cotton market
opened steady at an advance Of 204
points in. response to steady cables and
covering which was principally inspired
to some extent by a crop report pub
lished by a local trade paper making the
condition S5.S per cent, or rather under
general expectations. The report of an
other authority was made public around
the opening however, making the condi-
lions S6.S per cent, or rather under
general expectations. The report of an
other authority was made public around
the opening, howeved, making the con-
dftion S6.3 per cent. and showers report
ed in the Carolinas caused prices to ease
off from the best right after the opening
under scattered liquidation and local SELL
ing. But support from trade interests
and continued covering prevented any
material weakness, and the market during
the middle of the morning ruled about l
to points net higher.
The average Of private estimates by
members of the New York Cotton Elk
change as to the showing of the govern
ment report tomorrow made the con-
dition S5.4 per cent. No fresh feature
developed In the trading during the early
afternoon, but prices eased off to about
scattered realizing of liquidation. Reports
of high tempera lures in Texas helped to
steady the market on the decline.
Trading was quiet later in the fore
noon and no fresh feature developed, but
prices held steady and about l to 6
points net higher.
Spot closed very quiet; middling up
lands, 1885; middling gulf, 1910. Sales,
500 bales.
