MR.. 7AF7,s FOOL FRIENDS AGAIN

IN S a matter of political strategy the effort by newspapers that
~ are favorable to the Taft candidacy to misrepresent and
distort the incident of the Hartman campaign contribution
in 1904 and the frank and conclusive explanation made by Treasurer
Sheldon, of the Republican National Committee, is clumsy and
maladroit. 1t must react, as such tactics usually do. The eagerness
with which the subject was pounced upon, the persistence with
which a clamor has been kept up and the obvious design to injure
only serve to make it appear that there was and is nothing worse
to attack Roosevelt upon than this much.distorted incident. Mr. Taft
NAV we'll pray to be saved from fool friends, for he has them in
numbers among his supporters, and they have helped to put him in
the various holes he has been pulled out OF, with great loss of his
once splendid prestige. This stupid warfare on Roosevelt is doing
much to advance the Roosevelt candidacy. Nobody is fooled except
those who prosecute it and nobody injured except Taft.

POPULAR PETITIONS FOR FREE SUGAR.

IN MOVE that can easily be made nation wide to shut off the
IN tribute that the government leyies upon the people and
hands over to the sugar trust has been inaugurated in sew
eral cities. At the suggestion of wholesalers of New York blank
sheets are placed in every grocery for a petition to Congress TO
repeal the two-centsa pound duty. In Rochester the Retail Grocers
Association has taken up the matter with energy and hopes to
obtain 100000 consumers signatures. Every grocery in the United
States ought to have such blanks, making the aggregate of peti-
TONERS run up into the millions. Congress could hardly resist so
mighty an appeal.

DINNER STORIES.

Joe Mitchell Chapple, the magazine
editor, said in an after dinner speech
in Houghton:
This Is a commercial age. We try
to make our magazines artistic, but
If we make them too artistic they be-
come less valuable. 1t is like poor
whistler.
when Whistler was living in the
Latin Quarter in his youth a friend
took him to task one day for his idle
ness.
why don't you pitch In and paint
something said the friend. Pretty
soon your money will be all gone and
those three rolls Of nva will still be
standing empty there behind the door.
Just as they've been standing for the
last six weeksi'
whistler as he lay on his bed smok-
ing his pipe, answered lazily:
But, you see, as long as there's
nothing on the canvas I can sell 1t.
Col. e. II. R. Green, discussing with
a New York reporter his 5000 propos-
ais Of marriage, said:
my female wooers appear to be of
a mild. shrinking nature. They are not
at all like the wife of a friend of mine
down Texas way.
This man belongs to IN Tarpon
Club. and I once heard two lubmen
talking about him.
"'Poor George tells his wife every
thing he does said the first clubman'
Eyes said the second, and he does
everything she tells him."
John Collier, the secretary OF NEW
works. board of moving -picture cen
sors. said the other day:
ITS no good getting up obJection'
abie picture plays. We never pass
Them In fact, we turn them down
so invariably that 1T seems to me
the composers of such plays are ami
mated by a spirit Of peryersity. They
remind me of old Uncle Jethro Husk.
Uncle Jethro sat fishing on the
bank of a tiny rivulet when a strangel
stopped beside him and said:
"iIs 1t possible that there are any,
fish in such a small stream as that?
mo, there amt none Uncle Jetf
~grunted. n
"'But you're fishing!'
".Yep,' said Uncle Jeth.

Hero Again.

To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
The time for making good resolutions
has arrived. Another yea. is coming
to a close, and those who make 1t a
habit of deciding once a veal to be
good forever more can now make up
their minds as to the particular form
of good IS they will follow. There
will undoubtedly be thousands of reso-
lutions made and broken within the
next month. There VIII also be thou
sands that the makers will keep. What
is a good resolution and why should
II be made the first of the year? l
wish to make a suggestion: Let each
man resolve that in tie year to come
he will do the best he possibly can in
all things and be so true to his princi-
pies that mex year he will have no
new resolution to make.

VIOLENT UPWARD
 LEAPS OF WHEAT
Business Had Hardly Be- gun Before May Wheat
 Passes Dollar Mark

Chicago, May 29-violent upward leaps of the May wheat price today resulted from the timidity of smaller shorts A group of such traders trying to escape a possible squeeze at the end of the month became so alarmed that they bid as high as s1 .03ss a bushel. New crop months, however, were weak, owing to general rains and closed at a net loss of s.017kc to 1c. Corn finished with de- cline of half to 2lkc; oats down AQ3sc to 1be and provisions unchanged to 71ac down. May wheat held stubbornly near the top point of the season. final sales being at $1.os, net advance of S14o.
 From the outset 1t was apparent a crisis was approaching over the outcome of the deal.
 Business hardly had begun before the price broke over the dollar mark, and from that on almost every change meant woe to the shorts. The situation which the trade faced was that although wheat was arriving here in trainloads, the grain could by no possibility be put in store graded and delivered in time to apply on contracts which expire May 3l The sample tables around the pit were loaded with this sort of wheat, which appeared just too late, and was being vainly offered at a sacrifice of nearly 10 cents bushel from the figures obtain able for grain actually in store. The Board of Trade rules provide for mak- ing contract wheat on railroad tracks in the yards here deliverable, but only when storage room Is filled. No such emergency exists, and this fact was said to account for the absence of any reac- ton of importance in the May price. July ranged from SS1ac to S91sc and closed at %@7sc down at SSs4c.
 Rainy weather and large consignments made corn weak. Eastern demand was very poor. Under heavy selling May suf-. fered the worst collapse, going at one time 2Ac under the close of July. July fuctuated between 527sc and 5912c and In the end was 527scQ53c a net decline of 7s61c. Cash grades were weak; No. 2 yellow finished at 5334Q54c.
 Good crop reports from the big pro- dueng states turned oats down despite the unpromising outlook in the south west July varied from S5lsc to 35ssc and closed ssQ1ac off at 35ssc.
 Prospects of a heavier run of hogs this week brought about an easy feeling in provisions. When the pit was cleared pork was 5c to 71hc lower; lard unchanged to 10c off and ribs the same as Satur- day night to 71ac decline.

DEMAND FOR HOT
 WEATHER FRUITS Lines and Lemons at Pres- ent Are Going Well on
 Morris Avenue

Business was rather quiet on Morris avenue Monday although merchants were very optimistic in predicting the outcome of the present week. The greater demand waf witnessed. in the produce markets. where on account of the hot weather lines, lemonss and such fl tits as are used at soda fountains were purchased extensively. Also an exhaustive trade on watermelons was witnessed Monday. Only few are left on the markets which are offered at 80 and 40 cents each. Further ship merts are looked for by Wednesday or Thursday.
 Plenty of fowl was to be seen yes- terday, but the call seemed to be for spring chickens only, which are sell ing for 25 cents per pound. The de- mand for hens Is still sluggish and 12 cents is much as any of the mer chants are asking.
 Receipts Monday were only fair. Of those reported were a carload of Flor id1 pineapples and several cars of feed stuffs. The pineapples are bringing s3.50 per crate.

COTTON MARKET
 |S IRREGULAR
Business Is Evening Up for Holding and Govern
 ment Report

New York, May. 2s-The cotton market showed continued sirregularity during to- days trading with today's business large- Iy in the way of evening up for over the holiday tomorrow and the government crop report next Friday. The close was steady, net points higher to points lower.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 3q6 points on better cables than due and over Sunday buying orders which had probably been inspired by bull support and the frmer tone of the lccal market late on Saturday. There were reports of rain in the drouthy sec- tions of the western belt over Sunday, however private crop accounts were bear sh, and soon after the opening prices sold off to a net loss of about 114 points under scattering liquidation and low pres- sure. Around IS 57c for July the same bull brokers whose support had checked the decline of Saturday came into the ring as soon as buyers. This checked the selling movement and during the after noon the near months ruled firm with May and July both selling up to net advance of g points. Prospects for fur ther rain in the western belt inspired some selling of new crop positions which imparted a relatively easy tone to the later months and August also seemed rather weak under liquidation. and in some instances. selling against purchases of July or October.
 At the close August was points lower and later deliveries unchanged to points higher, with May and July showing gains of to points. The completed report of the National Ginners' association was said to make the condition S5.6 per cent and the acreage 35,10S,000 acres. Wall street houses were sellers of August and later months here said to be on orders frcm Chicago, based on the crop report of large Chicago house making the condi- ton 83S per cent and the acreage 35,548,- 999. Liverpool attributed to the relative ly steadiness of the near months there to Manchester "calling" cotton.

SMALL SHIPS MUST
 INSTALL WIRELESS

Houston, Tex, May 29-Every deep sea vessel touching along the Texas coast and which carries at any time a passen- ger list of 50 persons and more, Is fast being equipped with wireless apparatus to conform with the new United States law July has been set as the deadline and all vessels in the 50-passenger class must be equipped by that time or find their clearances entangled.
 This law embraces not only American vessels, but all foreign ships touching at American ports. The "50-passengers' also includes passengers as well as crew.
 Although all the larger ships, and espe- cially all the big passenger boats, are equipped with wireless, there is a large per cent of deep sea vessels finding themselves within the order. In conse- quence wireless apparatus is in demand and some masters are finding difficulty in securing expert electricians at once to install the machines.
 The order has caused great demand for operators as well. The Secretary of Commerce and Labor has issued orders for examinations for operators to be held at Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Wash ington, Norfolk. Charleston. New Or leans, San Francisco and Puget Sound, Washington.
 Among the qualifications for the opera tors is the ability to read 15 words Morse per minute and 12 words Continental code. Operators given certificates must also make oath before a notary to observe the secrecy of messages transmitted.

TEXAS GOES AFTER
 MORE IMMIGRANTS

Houston, Tex, May 29.-(Special)- South Texas Immigration association has pledged itself to raise $2o,00O to attract foreign emigration to Texas and to aid the immigrant after he gets here. Texas can care for and utilize 100000 foreign emigrants, it is said, and the association will seek to attract this number and bring farm brains to till American dol lars out of the soil
 The association proposes to seek the CO., operation of the steamship companies handling emigrant business by securing space on such steamships for an exhibit of Texas products and for carrying lec- turer exployed by the association who will explain the exhibit and lecture on the resources of Texas on shipboard while the emigrants are en route to the new country.
