The Decline in Food Prices.

General rejoicing is in order because
of the evidence that food prices are
actually declining, and noticeably so
1t is to be hoped that the downward

II does not interfere with the prosper
ity of producers seriously. or create
industrial conditions detrimental to
general prosperity.
The country is reaping the Thanks
giving season results OF natural con-
litiOns throughout the country. First
of these is enormous crops of corn and
other grains and the outcome of recent
nigh prices of meats that so largely
increased live stock raising. The grea:
packing establishments could not long

tendency of livestock was dow inward

farmers and local dealers, but other
foods must come down with meats If
the decline continues.

rule, are hard of hearing at such times

Few, even of Mr.. Roosevelt's en-

silence since election indicated that he
was discouraged or would for any
length of time cease his activities in
some line in which the people are
vitality interested. Perhaps some of
the pinheads who keep sniping away
because the target is large and 1T
seems u be the style, actually be-
lieved that they were to hear no more
of Mr.. Roosevelt: that he was down

as if he had never existed. Such is
the narrow view to which some men
whom we have always with us are
confined. They are SO near sighted
that they see not the long-range re-

into their grizzled gray brain cells
with 16-pound sledge hammer the
fact that there is anything beyond

Roosevelt idiotically for conjured
wrongs which he has inflicted here or
there without recognizing the type or
need, or the significance of the age in
which we live. 1t would be impossi-
BILE for them to understand that when
the influence of one great character
has fulfilled its mission another win
arise. They see no simultaniety in
the gigantic endeavor to shatter

Southern Control Of Next House.

With more than 100 eastern and
northern Democrats in the next Ma
tiOnal House there are unmistakable
regrets that Champ Clark has been
allowed to preempt the SpAakership
claim. Had the full extent of the
Landslide" been expected months ago
there is no doubt that a pretty con-
test over the prize would have resulted.
Now it looks as though that Missouri
mule team would be driven to the
capitol, that the Show Me" state
leader promised if elected speaker.
But Democratic troubles are not all
over with the Speakership election. In
spite Of the large number of Demo-
Gratis going to the sod Congress from,
northern states the control of the
House will be in the hands of the
South. Champ Clark will name com
mittees dominated by southern men.
and the South having been represented
all along, the ranking members of com
mittees are bound to be southnrners.
hence whom may we expect for chair
men but SOutherners?

Editorial Comment.
The Census Of Maine.
fporflap6 DailV Press

portland Daily Press.)
At last we have the census of Name,
ana we find the increase OF popula-
ton somewhat larger than had been
anticipated and quite gratifying. The
total population is 742,371 as against
694,466 in 1900, being Il gain of A.
905 or 60 per cent. in 10 years. Sew
eral months ago the census bureau
put out an estimate, which placed the
population of Maine at 72f,S46. which
would have been a gain of only 3d.
$50 or AS per cent. This estimate,
however, proves to have been good
deal out of the way. In fact the in
crease has been nearly seven per cent,
and we have to go back go years to
find a census period in which the abb
solute gain has been so large as in the
last decade. That was in the period
lS40-50, when the increase was Sl,37G.
In no decade since has the growth
been so large as now, and in one
decade, that of 1S60-79, there was a
slight loss. In the census of 1880 the
per cent. of increase was 3.5, in 1890 1t
was 10, and in 1900 it was 5. These
compare with the present per cent. of
60, and the comparison is certainly
quite favorable. Cumberland county
has gained over 1000 and still main
tains it's record of holding nearly a
seventh of the population of the State.

IRISH CLERKS SUPERIOR.

Making Merchants writes that he
! once asked q great New York lner-
chant why his Irish clerks were so su-
perior to many American clerks. This
was the merchants explanation:
"Tney are the most alert salespeople
| in the world 1t is part Of their train
ing. You never see an Irish trained

| he has no customers he will put in his

! is to please her and that she has con-
fer~ed a great honor upon the estab-
. lshment by calling"
Many Of the buyers and heads of de-
Dartments IN the big department stores
are Irshmen who have risen from the
counter. Here is a typical story which
shows their method and likewise their
cleverness. sycung, Irishman served

as a clerk in a store owned by his
cousin in Newark, y. J.

put on the payroll.
One day he noticed an old man wan
dering around the store. He seemed
20 be looking Cor someone. The young
1rishman approached him courteous1y
and found that he was hunting for the
buyer. He showed him to a seat and
located the buyer. A little while later
the old man called him over. Would

fore the Democratic representatives

The market had been lifted by manip-

persons looked forward to an advance
