A PLEASANT TRIBUTE
From Former Gov. Cobb to Ability and
Services Of Senator Hale.

Rockland. Me-, April 19.-Declinine
to make any statement as to his own
candidacy for the United States sena-
torship which Eugene Hale is relin-
gushing. Former Gov. VIM. T. Cobb
prominently mentioned as a successor,
tonight made the following statement
to The Associated Press in connection
with Senator Hale's retirement:
up to within a week ago 1t was a
complete surprise to me to learn that
Senator Hale had decided to return to
private life. His withdrawal affords
m" much disappointment and regret.
have known him all my life and have
strong liking for him personally as
we'll as great admiration and respect
for ris abilities.
Nor do believe that any man for
many years has surpassed that ability
OF his accomplishments for Names in
terests in the national Congress. Any
body at all acquainted with Maine
politics knows of the opposition to him
that has been created. That portion of
1t ascribing to Senator Hale an indif-
ference to the best interests of Maine
is in my judgment, unfair and untrue
He has been national leader for
many years and is universally recog-
Eized as conservative man of inde-
pendent thought and actions. His per-
sonal integrity is absolutely flawless
and It seems to me that the State OF
Maine should and will. feel under
great obligations fer the devoted ser.
vice hB has given'i 1t in his public life.

His Excellency, Hon. Aram J. Pothier'
Governor of Rhode Island.
my Dear Governor:-I find that shall
not have an opportunity to see you be-
fore my return to Washington tomorrow.
MY purpose in coming to Rhode Island
at this time was to apprise you and other
political friends in connection with the
approaching campaign of a decision, long
since made, that cannot under any cir
cufnstances be candidate for reelection
to the Senate. At the. earnest solicitation
Of friends have withheld this announce
ment which is now enforced by personal
reasons which are for me imperative.
1T is a source of satisfaction to me
to know that my successor Is sure to be
Republican whose fidelity to the princi-
pies and governmental politices of the
party cannot be questioned. / am conf
dent that the important legislation to
which the party and the administration
are pledged, with one exception. will have
been enacted into laws before the close
of the present session.
II do not intend to resign my position
Oh the National Monetary Commission.
nor to relinquish my efforts to secure as
soon as possible the adoption of wise
banking and monetary system by the
United States. On some proper occasion
shall express to the people of Rhode
Island my appreciation of the unfailing
support and confidence which they have
accorded to me through more than 40
years of public service.
VERY truly yours.

Increasing Drop
In Food Products,

New York, April 19.-The present
sensational drop in the price of pota-
toes may mean cheaper. food of all
kinds. Farmers are closing out their
supply of old potatoes, for as little as
20 cents a bushel, which is the lowest
price in many years. Other foods are
also cheaper. AS a result of it's in
vestigations, the American Agricul-
turist will say:
"A marked decline has occurred in
the prices of certain food products. If
this decline continues much longer the
commissions that are investigating
high prices will find themselves out of
a job.
Compared to the high point in wheat
last year. the present market at Chi
cago shows a decline of II cents a
bushel. The decline in corn from the
high point of last year is 10 cents and
oats 20 cents. In other words, the
present wholesale price of oats is 80
per cent. below the highest prices of
last year, corn is off "a per cent and
wheat ii per cent
These declines are reflected in mill
feed. Wheat bran is now selling in the
West at IS or $6 a ton less than previ-
Gus highest quotations. a decline of 21
per cent, while middlings have de-
clined at New York points about SO
ton, or II per cent. Even cotton seed
meal is off SO to 81, or to 10 per cent
Cotton itself is a fraction of a cent a
pound less than in January, showing
decline of about per cent
Potatoes have not been so low in
years, wholesale prices at present be-
ing at 40 to so per cent. lower than
IN November last. Vast numbers of
farmers held onto their potatoes until
the late winter or spring markets and
now are unable to get rid of their stock
at rs cents a bushel, whereas a year
ago they were wholesaling at Chicago
at 81 bushel at this time
Butter has declined per cent, eggs
have gone of, as usual in the spring.
Even beef cattle have no more than held
the high quotations of March, and hogs
are 4 tritle off. although still very high,
and prices of sheep and lambs were
maintained. There has been a break in
the price of hay at country points in the
west; beans are also cheaper
'rhe tubles in this issue prove that
current prices are higher than the values
which prevailed few years ago. but in
numerous instances farmers are now
receiving good deal less than last
year.
Altogether Indications multiply that
reaction in food prices has taken
place." the American Agriculturist says.
with good crops in 1910 VIC may ex-
pect the price of food to consumers to
be considerably lower than during the
past IL or is months, although we do
not look for return to the phenominal-
ly low prices of 10 and 20 years ago.
Cold weather this week may do con-
siderable damage to the fruit crop, but
there is ample time for spring gardens
to be reseeded wherever the sprouting
crop nas been badly frosted"

his eyes evaded the mothers and his
glance roamed about the court room from
jury box to press table, thence to the
spectators. but at no time during Mrs.
Wheeler's testimony did he openly evince
emotion.
