A Regret.

I'm sorry that he won't be back,
That friend so oratorical.
I'm sure we're goin' to feel the lack
OF help in deeds historical.
But somehow all his thoughts profound
At last began to weary US,
And soon the word went passin' round.
He took hisself too serious.
Although his voice was good an clear
An sounded big an thundertul-
The way he shook the atmosphere
Was somethin' truly wonderful
We turned away with our applause,
Which once had been deiirious.
He sort O. lost his grip because
He took hisself too serious.
Some one had said he was a chief
On whom none dared retaiiate.
He Stunned al laughter, whose RELIEF
The cares OF lie mislI pal late.
And now mis- disappearance seems
Both mOurniul and mysterious.
He passes softly line our creams.
tie took hlsseif too serious.

Complaints are heard from local con-
sumers of food products that Washington
has not yet received any apprec,able ben
eft from the falling prices nerailed from
Chicago. One local grocer has acknowl-
edged that there is a disposition among
retailers to hold on to high prices for
q time after the turn in order to make
up losses that are involved in the ina
bility of the food purveyors TO send their
rates up Immediately at the beginning OF
q rise in the wholesale market This
phenomenon of the retainer failure to
boost his prices as soon as the whole
saler begins 10 charge more has not been
striAinsly In evidence in Washing ton. In
deed, the general experience of t.,ose w.-o

the food-ma. keting combiLa.ion IS the

the sIowest on the falling. 1hls ,s not

clist- Great things were expected of
him IN the development Of the airplane
The frequency with which these ma
chimes fall. killing and manning their
pilots should not discourage those who
hope for the development Of the airplane
as q practical commercial factor. In few
Of the accidents have the falls been due,
as far as the facts are known. to un-
comfortable conditions Of the air. in
most cases they have resulted from ma
chine failures. Each disaster teaches
more strongly the lesson that the air
plane must be made OF more durable
material. Already a margin has been
established beyond the earlier ratio Of
weight and power. The ARP ane of tie
future, IL IL evident, will te constructed
OF materials that will Withstand all TIE
strains Of such weather conditions as
permit an initial flight.
1t II, Of course, possible that john
stones fail was due to his inability to
keep his machine under control wis n
struck by q sudden gust OF air for who
he was not prepared. 1t Is said to be one
OF the gravest Of air perils tat the
aviator has but little warning of tie on
coming Of puts and sianis Of wind which
may destroy ihs balance. Yet aviators
have been up in all kinds Of weather an
have returned in safety, repo. ting tie
most eccentric behavior Of the air in the
course Of their flights. The fact that they
lave weathered such cond. tons success
fully suggests that after all the safe
Of the arplane Is q matter
of Judgment. These lepta ed sacrifi, Is
nav prove to be- warnings that the air.
plane is not safely to be used for gym
nastic purposes aloft. The best lly ng
does not consist In doing ext. aordinary
stunts while above the g.o.nd, out in
taking a machine successfully across
at such an altitude as insures the
most stable progress.

rom IN. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
From Prince edward Island comes the
suggestion that the state OF Maine De
annexed to the dominion Of Canada. /,
IS pointed out that Maine is a geo. raphi.
cal monstI osity. that the interests o.
the state are identical with those OF
Canada, and that 1T is manifest destiny
for the people OF Maine to seek union
with the dominion. into which the state
now thrusts its head like "a thumb In d
piece Of custard pie. Maine does look
rather awkward UP there. But we desire
Maine, and do not intend to lose her
Prince Edward Island to the contrary
notwithstanding. We love Maine especial.
ly just at present because OF the stun,
she did in September. She became the
banner state of the nation, and the othe,
commemorative merely followed where
she ed Her upthrust head, proudly
punching a hole in Canada's mid.iff, has
come to be revered as symbol OF
courageous advance.

A Committee on Committees.

A lively subject of discussion 10 com
mittee on committees for the House
Those who favor the plan seem to think II
would work wonders. They put 1t forward
as a cure-all for the difnculties under
which the House has been laborfng
Would it serve that purpose?
The proposition has its origin In the pro.
test against the power OF the Speaker. II
Is charged that In the naming OF the com.
mittees the Speaker provides for the snap
ing Of the whole business Of the House
Those who will work with him he favors
in the ass gnments. those whom he doubts
he subordinates, while those against
whom he holds a prejudice he leaves oui
in the cold.
The time approaches when this charge
and others must be supported by some.
thing more substantial than heated par.
tisan assertion. For twenty years the
term car has been applied to the occu-
pant of the Speakers chair Mr.. Reed
first wore it, and then the republi ANS
fitted it to Judge Crisp. In turn it passed
again to Mr.. Reed. and then TO Mr.. Hen
derson and then to Mr.. Cannon
As a matter of fact there has never been
a car in the Office Of Speaker, and the
House committees have never shown In
their personnel the spirit OF prescription
on the part of the appointing power. An
examination OF the record makes this In
disputable. Mr.. Reed, Judge Crisp and
Mr.. Henderson all appointed capable men
from both the majority and the minority
for important committee service, and Mr..
Cannon can afford to rest his case on the
character Of the committees Of the pres
ent House. Surely he need not apologize
for having placed Mr.. Clark first and Mr..
Underwood second on the minority side OF
ways and means. The former will sue
coed him in the Speakers chair. while the
latter will become the democratic leader
on the floor The democracy itself will
soon register its Endorsement OF his APP
praisement Of those two men.
Mr. Clark is q man of large experience
in House matters, q warm but not pro-
scriptive partisan, and has q wide knowl-
edge Of national legislators. AS Speaker
he will be held accountable for much.
and should have authority commensurate
with his responsibility. To strip him OF
all power, and make him but . presiding
officer, passing on questions Of order and
putting motions to adjourn. would deprive
his party Of his talents and legislative
equipment. The chair would lose Its at
fractions for him, and its value to the
party as an asset on the eve Of a presi-
Dental campaign.

The Reform of the Lords.

British parliamentary reform is ap-
parently assured. The house of lords has
adopted q declaratory resolution es-
tablishing certain principles as the basis
of legislation later to be enacted amend
ing the character OF the upper house.
This resolution provides broadly that the
house Of lords shall not comprise all
peers, of whatever character or rank. It
shall, on the contrary. consist of three
classes, q certain number chosen by the
whole body Of hereditary peers from
among themselves and by nomination by
the crown: those sitting by virtue of
their Offices and qualifications held by
them, and finally those chosen from out
side. The second part Of the resolution
provides that the tenure of lords Of
parliament" shall be the same except in
the case of those sitting ex-officio, who
will sit only so long as they hold the
offices by reason Of which they sit.
This resolution leaves much to the
Imagination. It does not fix the total
number OF peers, nor does 1t define the
qualifications Of the ex-ofiicio lords Of
parliament, nor does it indicate the
character or number OF the peers to be
chosen from outside" Thus the size
duU CudIdCIST VI lItC pAOSpSSaSC 1CSlS-6-
tive house Of lords remain to be disclosed
in terms of the bill which the upper
chamber Is about to consider. Evidently
the new system will be held distinctly
separated from the people in that none
Of the lords Of parliament will be elected.
Although there is clamorous demand In
some quarters for a strictly elective
second chamber. there is no disposition
on the part Of the peers to yield on that
score.
1t is hardly to be expected that the
differences between the hereditary and
the elected branches of the British gov.
eminent will be perfectly adjusted. There
must be compromises which viii cause
friction and contention. But in all hke-
lihood when the matter Is referred. by in
direction, to the people at the next gem
eral election. which is likely to occur dur
Ing the coming winter. the CONCESSIONS
granted by the peers will be accepted. The
British people are apparently not disposed
to destroy an institution cf which they
are plainly proud and fond despite its
limitations and its restrictive eaect upon
legislation for which there is a popular
sentiment.

Senator Terrell.

The new senator from Georgia should
fill the bill. A man who has twice served
as governor Of his state must be Of force
and representative character. Unless he
can induce the legislature next June to
indorse his appointment Gov. Terrell
however. will disappear from the scene
before the fun begins. 1t will not bt
until December Of next year that the
democrats, In organizing the House, wal
lay their foundations for 1912. Then,
both democratic representatives and sena-
tors will enjoy life as they have not done

to be no doubt of the truth OF Meagher
tale that the trunk vas left in his Gus
tody oy another. There Is never any lack
Of working material In New York In the
way of missing persons In the enort to
trace the identity Of such remains as are
found continually In the rivers. or else
where. In every city, indeed. the police
records of disappearances receive ire
Quent additions, and while many OF THESE
persons are afterward found or later re-
turn Voluntarily, there remains stanoins
list of apparently hopelessly lost men and
women of whom no trace ever appears.
Doubtless at this time in New YORK there
are at least twenty such cases, possipD
half a hundred. and $ is. skeleton may
be any one Of the individuals there RE-
corded. This crime apparently was cont
mitted about eight years ago. judging
from the dates on newspapers which had
been placed in the trunk tor packing. 1t
may be that the police records OF APP
proximately that time ago will be OF as
sistance, vet unless trace OF the missing
trunk owner can be found thee IL but
little chance of preventing this case from
passing into tie list of unsoived' crimes.
Only experts in finance can say whether
a complete change in the board OF direc-
tors Of the American Sugar Refining
Company will make any difference in the
ultimate destination of the profits.
Eminent democrats suspect that recent
events were not exactly in the nature of
a testimonial, but merely an expression
of willingness to try q sample.
