TO BETTER FARM LIFE.

President Roosevelt has ever shown
himself the friend OF the farmers. So
far his efforts have been directed
mainly toward securing better pro-
duction, but recently he has appointed
a commission OF able men who are to
advise him how to improve the bust.

eral social conditions Of farming COM

thing he has done. Just what he Is
aiming at will be seen by the following
quotation from his letter to Prof L.
II. Bailey of the New York College OF
Agriculture, whom he has asked to
serve as chairman OF the investigating
committee:
How can the life Of the farm fam.
lily be made less solitary, fuller OF op-
portunity, freer from drudgery, more
comfortable, happier and more attrac.
tive? Such q result is earnestly to be
desired How can life on the farm be
kept on this highest level, be so i'm.
proved, dignified and frightened as to
awaken and keep alive the pride and
loyalty OF the formers boys and girls,
OF the farmers wife and OF the farmer
himself? How can compelling desire
to live on the farm be aroused in the
children that are born on the farm?
All these questions are Of vital impor-
lance not only to the farmer, but to
the whole nation. We hope ultimately
to double the average yield OF wheat
and corn per acre; 1t will a great
achievement; but II Is even more i'm.
portant to double the desirability,
comfort and standing Of the farmers
life.
The farmers have hitherto had less
than their full share OF public atten.
tion along the lines OF business and
social life, There Is too much belief
among all our people that the prizes
OF life lie away from the farm. l am

people OF the United States the ques.
ton Of securing better business and
better living on the farm, whether by
cooperation between farmers for buy.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ON MATTER OF RAILROAD CON-
NECTIoNS WITH NAVY YARD.

1t is probable that the Senate District
committee will decide upon a compromise
on the question of retaining railroad
connections with the local navy yard II
is understood that the committee is con-
templating recommending a change in
the Carter substitute for the Gallnger
bill that will provide for the purchase
OF the right Of way over private property
by the government. In return. it is like
ly that the Philadelphia. Baltimore and
Washington Railroad Company will agree
to eliminate grade crossings in the future
should streets be cut through to the river
at this point.
The proposed spur is to run from a
point near where the railroad crosses
Pennsylvania avenue southeast to tn
yard and a great deal of the way it will
run on a trestle over the water along the
river front. Most of the land along the
water front was formerly a swamp and
has been filled in with dumpings from tho
yard and other sources. The principal
owner of the property involved is Thoma:
w. Smith. the local lumber dealer.
Hear Admiral Leutze. commandant of
the navy yard. wants the government to
buy several plots of land adjoining the
yard on the east. and the Navy Depart
ment. it Is understood. would like to see
this done also. but Congress is apparent
ly not ready to appropriate the money.
Senator Gallinger. chairman of the Dis
trict committee, has told Wash B. Will
liams. president of the Southeast Wash
ington Citizens Association. that the
committee thoroughly sympathizes with
the association in its efforts % have all
grade crossings in the southeast perma-
nentiy removed. but that the present sit
uation may make it necessary TO effect
a compromise on this point.
Should Congress fail by february - to
authorize the railroad to build the sort OF
a spur which it is willing to build. or to
take some action to extend the time al
lowed for the keeping of the present con-
nection with the yard the railroad Off
Gals will at once remove the present
tracks and the yard will have no way of
shipping or receiving its heavy freight ex-
cept by water. The railroad fears il Will
lose the million and half dollars due it
in connection with the construction of the
new trackage system, incident to the re-
moval of the old station at 9Th and 3
streets northwest, if the present spur is
allowed to remain later than February 2S

LAREDO TRAIN WRECK.
Thirty Passengers Reported Injured
in Texas.

LAREDO. Tex. February %. - Thirty
persons are reported to have been injured
in the derailment Of an excursion train
carrying a number OF northern tourists at
orville, twelve miles north Of Laredo.
Several cars were thrown from the track
and piled up in a ditch. The Pullman
cars, however, remained on the rails. The
excursionists, most of whom were from
Toledo, Ohio. were travelling under the
direction of Charles Gates of Toledo. The
similarity in names at first gave rise to
a report that the wrecked train was the
special on which John W. Gates, the New
York capitalist. has been travelling
through the south. 1t was learned, how
ever, that the John w. Gates party ar
rived at Beaumont. Texas. last night.
In addition to the Toledo people on the
wrecked train there were a number of
persons from Chicago and San Antonio.
They had planned to make a tour through
Mexico. The derailment is said to have
been caused by broken axle on the loco
motive.

CURRENCY BILL IN HOUSE.
May Be Necessary for a Caucus to
Determine Measure.

The legislative contest over an emer-
gency currency bill will probably be trans
ferred to the House Of Representatives
next week. The House committee on
currency will report the Fowler bill next
Friday, according to present prospects,
and the Aldrich bill is expected to get
through the Senate this week.
With these two contending financial
measures before the House. 1t may be
necessary to have caucus of republic
cans to decide which bill shall have the
right of way through the sanction of the
committee on rules
The best opinion in the House is that
some kind of a financial bill will surely
be passed at this session, and the efforts
of the republicans will be directed to
bringing up a bill for final action. which
will be solidly supported.

cause the farmers in that section posi-

assistance whatever to the foreigners, SO
great is their anxiety to have an Ameri-
can car get into Chicago first.
The American outfit was in action early
today at Burdick. The experiment of
packing the car over the huge snow drifts
by means OF a big bob sled proved a fall
ure, the sled breaking down before it had
gone a mile. Then several teams of horses
were secured, hitched to the car and the
old game of towing was started, the OBJ
