COST OF LIVING DECLINE.

We notice that some Of the Eastern
papers are reckoning very confidently
upon a reduction in the cost of living,
10 come soon. This expectation Is
based mainly upon the figures of the
immense crops of the current year, III
is assumed, and the market gives some
justification for this assumption, that
the cost Of living will drop AS the i'm
mensc crops come into the market.
Thus. the Brooklyn Times has made up
an Illuminating statement of the crop
products and of the reductions IN prlces
of the main products, so far as the
Eastern markets show up to the pres
cut time. The following is the state
ment referred to;
l. Corn. which for the first time In
the history Of the country exceeds 3,OvV-
100000 bushels, OF 20 per cent more tlqm
last year And although TINS crop VIII
not be marketed for some weeks, there
has already been a decrease OF seven
cents per bushel over last years price:
100000 more than a year ago, with
corresponding reduction OF SEA per ton.
3. Wheat-About 100 000, 600 bushels
more than last year with an initial drop
to the consumer OF Sl0S 000. 600 on an
average consumption OF lis barrels.
4. Oats-l, All. 900 600 bushels. an In
crease over last years crops of more
than 90 per cent. with an initial decrease
in price over last year OF cents per
bushel
5. Potatoes-35GO0Oo 900 bushels. 81
per cent increase over last years pro-
duCtion, with a corresponding drop in
price ON October I Of 31.2 Ccnts-a saw
ing To the consumer, at this rate. OF 1874,
900. 300
6. Cotton-The largest crop on rec
ord, with an Initial drop in price OF FL
cents from the schedule Of 1910.
There can. therefore, be fair e1-
pectation OF at least some reduction
in the cost of living, this to apply all
over the United States; and the peo.
pie in Utah will be ready with wei
comes for that reduction when it comes.

A QUESTION ON APPEAL.

A question of good deal of i'm.
portance is to be decided soon bv the
Court of Customs Appeals. It grows
out Of the act Of 1911 exemptinn from

exemptions were carried In the Cana.
dian reciprocity treaty. The first sec
uon OF the act provided for reciprocal
free trade with Canada in certain ar.
ucles. Canada refused TO agree So
that section is imperative. But section

RESULT OF THE ELECTION.

The National election returns verify
the most extravagant claims made for
Governor Wilson. II was veritablc
Landslide for him. There will be no
need to talk about election by the
House, OF tics of States. or anything
of that kind. Wilson has everything
in sight, and he has it with trcmend-
oGS vote.
There was not even fighting chance
for the Republican party. split as 1T
Was. into two factions. President Taft
deserved reelection, but the fates were
against him. The Republican Senate
OF 1909, in insisting upon ignoring the
people : wishes with regard to the tar
III revision, laid broad and deep tho
foundations for the upheaval which has
come The inconsistencies, the vagar-
les of that tariff revision, is. absolute
uegation of the party's pledge in the
National platform of 1908. as construed
by President Taft, made il impossible
for the people TO support the Repub-
lican party any longer Right in that
summer session OF Congress was tho
seed sown for the fateful harvest that
has come.
The Utah Senators did their full
share in bringing about the result which
was chronicled yesterday. but as Apos
tie Smoot told the carded wooden men
when they warned him if the Senate
persisted in its vicious tariff revision
and its discrimination, especially as
concerned themselves, The country
would 90 Democratic. The well.known
reply of Smoot was, I" What the hell do
care if it does 90 Democratic and
so we presume he does not care now
any more than he cared then. But what

sumo,
The Federal bunch is doomed by the
election yesterday; but personally as
concerning themselves, it is comfort
to know that they have been forehand
ed while they had things in their own
hands, and they are well provided for
There will be no suffering. But the
people OF Utah will be delivered from
heavy and grieyous load. The Re
publican party may now have some
chance of respectable lie in this
State.
SO far as the election in Utah is con.
cerned. the indications at this writing
q a. NJ favor the Republicans, but
by a close vote. In this county the
Republican ticket pulls through bv
much reduced pluralities. The complete
returns will show the closest vote in
many years.

A REAL NEWSPAPER.

A newspaper isn't simply bare
chronicler of events. It Is personal
ity. It comes into your house almost
as member of your family.
What sort of person do you like
to have visit you?
He ought to be honest, courageous,
no hypocrite, and gentleman, with
a real interest in you, ready to lend
hand if you need help. Cheerful
ness and good humor are excellent
qualities, and a wide range of in
terests.
What do you find in The Star?
It has opinions, of course, and it
speaks them out freely. They are its
own and they are not influenced by
outside interests. The square deal is
it's platform.
In handling news it observes the
decencies and amenities of life. 1t
never wantonly brings shame or sor-
row to any home. It's advertisements
are clean.
If the Twin City Star does not
bring you something of interest in
any particular issue, it has failed by
so much that week. It takes Of its
hat and apologies for having bored
you as a visitor.
But it trusts this doesn't often, hap
pen. Not often, does it?

Calanthe, 345 turned out in a body.
The ladies of the Court were a credit
to the order, uniformly dressed, each
carried white rose. They were the
recipients of many compliments on
their appearance. Mr.. Ralph Watson
read a paper which was full Of
Pythianism. He told them their
duties as Pythians, and pointed with
shame to the decline of the order In
Minnesota. There can be no doubt
that his remarks will bear fruit,
either better condition, or the dis
holution Of the order, which is only
in name. Rev. Carter preached the
sermon which was highly instructive
and he spoke Of the noble work be-
ing done by the order throughout the
land. Brig. Gen. w. r. Morris acted
as Master of Ceremonies.
