One of the most important move
ments ever instituted and have nation
al scope is the appointment of the
country life commission by Pres.
Roosevelt.
The object of this commission is
to make inquiry among farmers and
those familiar with rural affairs, to
ascertain what the general economic
social, educational and sanitary condi-
tions of the open country are, and
what, if anything, the farmers them
selves can do to help themselves and
how the government can help them.
This commission of which the Hon,
Prof. L. H. Bailey of Cornell Agri-
cultural College is president will rep
resent the farmers themselves and
compile data for the President in his
report to congress.
The purpose of the commission is
not to investigate the farmer or his
technical methods of farming, but will
more particularly include such topics
as:
/. Efficiency of rural schools.
2. Farmer organizations.
3. Farm Labor.
A. Good roads.
5. Improved postal facilities.
6. Sanitary conditions.
z. Transportation.
8. Farming as business.
8. Thought as farm capital.
10. Experiment station aid, etc.
The time allotted to the commits
sion to gather the required data is
very short and although the commits
sion is travelling on rapid schedule
time abcvt the country the president
realizes Cat plan must be formulat-
ed to expedite matters. For this
reason President Roosevelt desires
that farmers of every school district
assemble at the school house on Satur-
day, Dec. fifth to discuss the topics
suggested and report their conclu-
sions by addressing their letters tc

Z bob" EVANS STORY.
Why He Said Spanish Could Hit Only
The Water.

NEW YORK, Aug. l9.-A special
dispatch from Lake Mohonk. brings
the following story OF Admiral Evans
The other day friend asked him:
Admiral, is there any truth that
after the battle OF Santiago you called
out from the bridge OF the Iowa to
captain of another battleship: Those
Spaniards can't fight damned thing
except water?" Admiral Evans
laughed and replied:
Il will tell you what really said
and what the incident really was" he
said. Zone drizzly day during the
blockade we stood in toward the har-
Dor and shelled the shore batteries.
1t was not as exciting as it might have
been, for whether we hit anything or
not, | know the Spaniards did not
quite come near us. After the she'll
ing was over a press boat lay along
side of my ship and newspaper man
asked if we had been hit. / shouted
back: They didn't touch us. The
Spaniards didn't hit anything except
water and the couldn't have hit that
if there wasn't so damn much Of it."

Indiana Is Demanding Efforts to
Prevent Slaughter
MANY TRESPASSERs SLAIN
A Commission Calls Slaughter by the
Indiana Railroads "An Unnecessary
and Continuous Loss of Life in a
Highly Civilized Country"

CHICAGO, Aug. lo-An alarming
increase in the number OF fatalities in
Indiana during the past two weeks
has caused the railroad commission to
demand of the roads more systematic
and persistent efforts to prevent ac-
cidents. Railroads operating in that
state yesterday received an order in
which more extensive use of warn
ing signals at crossings and on brid-
ges is directed as one means of get
ting away from loss OF life. Special
emphasis is also placed on the neces-
ity of cooperating with the local au-
thorities to keep the trespassers off
the tracks.
Present conditions, the commission
declares, involve IAN unnecessary and
continuous loss of life in highly civ
ilized country" The Indiana commits
sion has previously denounced It as
the "Great American crime" The
commission points to the fact that
173 persons were killed while tres
passing on the tracks Of the railroads
in Indiana during the year ending
June 80, 1908.

LONDON, Aug. 1o-Much inter

the United States toward the Holland
Venezuelan dispute. The Daily Graphic
is an editorial this morning
thinks that it is not a wise precedent
even for the Netherlands to acknow-

roe doctrine as implied to the limita-
tion Of blockade imposed by the
United States on her justly punitive
action against Venezuela and hopes
that Hollands action will be as dras-
tic as the American restrictions will
permit.

thing to apply it without infringing
upon the Monroe doctrine, "The 9th
er America" like the rest of the Bar
barians," in Castro's phrase, can but
wish her success in this most neces-
sary work.
