The Kennebec Journal called upon
the voters to vote yesterday as pleas
ure and a privilege. 1t could hardly
cali upon them to vote for any other
reason. because there was only one
candidate. A good many of them seem
not to have considered it so much of a
pleasure as to be worth putting them
selves out much to enjoy it.-Portland
Press.
True. a good many of our citizens did
not vote, Monday, but that over 900
went to the polls when only one ticket
was in the field is a remarkable rec
ord, and we doubt if, under similar cir
cumstances. so large proportion of
the total vote would have been cast in
any other Maine city. The result shows
that our citizens looked upon it as a
pleasure and privilege to vote for a
good man and to endorse a clean ad-
ministration.

Secretary Longs Retirement.

The resignation of Secretary Long,
to take effect May !, did not come as
q surprise to the country. For over
five years Mr.. Long has been at tn.
head of the important navy department
as popular and as efficient a head as
that great branch of the national SER
vice ever had-and for some time it
has been known that he was anxious to
give up official responsibilities and get
back to private life. But his devotion
to his duty and his personal loyalty
both to President Mckinley and to his
successor have kept him at his post
until the time was ripe for his retire
ment without detriment to the depart
ment or embarrassment to his chief.
When Mckinley came to the prcsi-
dency in 1897 no cabinet selection
which he made was more generally or
more heartily commended than that
Of the New England representative.
AS governor of Massachusetts, as
member of Congress, as an aggressive
and loyal party leader, as an eloquent
orator and lawyer Of great ability, as
a cultured, courteous. generous gentle
man in all relations. clean Of character
and ever youthful in heart. he had a
place in the affections Of New England
held by few public men. To Maine. the
State of his birth and of his long sum-
mer visits to the old home among the
Oxford hills he is still a Maine man
and his appointments to the cabinet
was as an honor given one of our citi-
zens. His service in the cabinet has
fulfilled all the promise Of five years
ago. Through the trying season OF
preparation for war and in the war it
self, while the great growth OF the
navy has been in progress. and during
the unfortunate Schley-Sampson con-
troversy in which his attitude has been
amply sustained by the courts, by the
President and by the American people,
Mr. Long has been equal to every de-
mand of his high office and been master
of every situation. President Roosevelt
say. that he has never. known a man
more single minded in his devotion to
the public interest. The whole country,
and no part of it more than Maine,
Joins the President in wishing that the
good fortune he so richly deserves may
attend Secretary Long in his retire.
ment.
1t is gratifying to this section that
New Highlander is to succeed Mr.. Long.
CONGRESSMAN William H. Moody of
Massachusetts is a much younger man,
being AZ years of age while Mr.. Long
is Ga. but he does not lack experience
in public life nor sterling qualifications
for his new position. He is native of
the Bay State, a graduate of Harvard
in the class of &c, and since 1895 has
represented the sixth district in the
House. He is lawyer and his home is
in Haverhill. From 1890 to '95 he was
district attorney for eastern Massa-
chusetts. He is counted one of Massa-
chusetts' strongest men in the House.
1t is not to be questioned that he will
be a good man for the head of the navy

A Rural Delivery Victory.

A bill to place the carriers of the
rural free delivery service under the
contract system met it's deserved fate
In the House, and in it's place was
passed a bill not only perpetuating the
present salary system but also increas-
ing the salary of the carriers. The re-
suit is great victory for the friends
Of rural free delivery. 1t may not be
hardly fair to say that the contract sys-
tenn was proposed by the enemies of
rural free delivery for it has few if
any enemies. but there can be little
doubt that contract system would
have worked great injury to the service
which is now getting established and
working well under the present ar
rangement. The delivery of mails in
the country districts is as properly un-
der the direct control of the govern
ment as it is along the streets Of our
cities. and the evils and inefficiency Of
the star route service have given ample
warning against the contract system
The raising of the maximum salaries of
carriers from $500 to $500 is to be COM
men6ed and will result in an improved
service. The limit might well have
been placed higher and doubtless will
be in time. The new bill also allows
carriers to do an express package bust
ness when it does not interfere with
their duties. 1t has other excellent
features and there is every reason to
believe it will soon receive the Presi-
dents signature and become law.

Buyinu Food Abroad.


Yes, the world, or a large part of it,
gets it's daily bread from the United
States. We pride ourselves that this
country is the granary of the world. and
that we supply a great share of both
the necessities and luxuries Of the
tables of prince and peasant in Europe.
And We have often been told what
would happen to Europe-England in
particular if we should shut down on
the food supplies All of which is true,
but there is another side to the picture,
and our consular reports show 1t in
their figures as to the amount and va
riety of foods which we buy abroad.
We buy almost nothing abroad for our
tables which we do not produce our
selves, and even export, but the buy
ing abroad keeps the wheel of COM
merce turning. 1t is an interesting
study.
The official returns. published by
the state department at Washington,
showing that in the July, August and
September of 1901 we imported wheat
from Catania and Girgenti; beans
from 10 shipping points; potatoes from
Antwerp, Bathurst Belfast and is
other shipping points; turnips from
Fredericton and St. Andrews; tripe
from Havre and Buenos Ayres; meats
from Bordeaux, Bremen, Hamburg.
Limoges, Paris, Stavanger, Stettin and
Sydney; and-not to extend this par
ticular search further-fresh vegetables
from Liverpool" and Bermuda, and
earned, preserved, or picked vegeta-
bles from Amsterdam, Bordeaux,
Brake Nordenhamm. Brunswick, Brus-
sells, Hamburg, Kehl, Limoges, Naples,
Palermo, Paris and Rotterdam. Ver-
mont maple strip is made in dozen
states, at least, just as Maine sweet
corn is packed in Vermont. New York
and Iowa, and when it is good it is
smacking good; other sirups we have
too numerous to mention, and we sup
pose that the old-fashioned New Or
leans molasses-black but comely-is
still produced. Yet in those three
months of last year we imported sirups
from Bordeaux, Copenhagen and
Toronto. Cheeses were shipped to Us
from So foreign ports, sweetmeats
from Barcelona, jam from Belfast, and
confectionery from Cannes. Cologne,
Leeds, Paris, Rheims and Troyes.
We'd almost forgotten biscuits. The
ports sending biscuits to this universal
Yankee nation were Bordeaux, Dublin,
Edinburgh and Toronto.
We grow and manufacture tobacco in
this country, but 36 foreign ports
shipped tobacco lin one shape or
1901, and IA shipped smokers articles"
We make cider and wine, brew beer
and distill liquors in this country. Yet
during that quarter we imported cider
from Frankfort and Grand Canary;
we imported beers, wines and liquors
from lis shipping points. Ballymena

kong sent us wine, the Pireaus sent us

hama sent us sake, Ciudad Juarez sent

utes' study of these consular returns
published under the title of Exports
Declared for the United States
will bring home to the dullest mind
the truth of a remark made by Mr..
Roosevelt at Minneapolis. This coun-
try can't be selling all the time. 1t has
to buy too; every month of every
year; on pretty large scale.
