President Roosevelt Is "a many.
sided man, and In spite OF his many
and arduous duties as Chief Execu-
tive OF this country, he IS constantly
on the -ookout for new business. His
latest proposition is the appoint
ment OF commission of experts on
country life to make an investiga-
tion into the matter and report to
him, with recommendations, with a
view 30 bringing about better social.
sanitary and economicconditions on
American farms. Mr.. Roosevelt E in
tentions are no doubt good. and
there are evils Il plenty of the kind he
is seeking to remedy, but We very
much fear he is chasing a bubble.
Almost invariably where social. san
itary and economic conditions on
American farms are not what they
ought 30 be, it is due to one OF both,
usually both, OF the following causes:
Poverty and the lack of education.
just how the national governments

Is hard to see. Is cannot supply the
cash necessary 30 lift from poverty
toevenmoderate ailluence, and is can
not furnish the education 30 relieve
the condition mentioned. The States
alone can afford relief. so far as lack
oil education Is concerned, for certain
1t Is that the distribution of lltera-
ture, which the poor farmer, in his
struggle TO keep the wolf from the
door, has no time to read, cannot
AFFORD relief What, therefore, can
Mr.. Roosevelt's commissioners pro-
pose?
They will find the well-to-do farm
ers, and they are nine times out OF
ten men who have an income from
some other source than farming. liv-
Ing In as much comfort from every
standpoint as other persons OF his

he charges the Republicans with re-

they have held the reins OF govern
