FARM LIFE INVESTIGATION
PROF. BAILEY TELLS OF THE
COMMISSIONS PURPOSE.
Asserts That It Was Not a Political
Scheme, But Long Con-
sidered Plan.

PHILADELPHIA. November Prof.
+. Fl. Bailey. dean of the Agricultural
College of Cornell University and head of
the committee appointed by president
Roosevelt to investigate farm life, and
;ifford Pinchot, United States forester
and chairman of the national conserva-
lion commission. were among the speak
ars at a neeting here tonight of the
American Academy of Political and So
.iaI Science. The farm and conservation
commissions will begin their investiga-
tons Monday The two commissions will
hold a joint session at the Maryland Agri-
cultural College, where social and econo-
mical conditions in the south Will be
studied The two commissions will travel
hey will separate.
The Presidents Aim.
During the course of his address Prof.
Bailey said:
1.-The Presidents idea in appointing the
farm commission was to establish body
10 maintain our natural resources and
after that a commission to utilize our
natural wealth."
He added: 1.-The commission. it has
been said, was appointed for political pur-
ooses namely, that the agricultural vote
might be won for the administration. but
[ wish to say in emphatic denial of that
statement that the President had this
in mind for more than year prior to the
present commission and there was MOTH
ing of a political aspect in its appoint
ment."
Prof. Bailey said that final meeting
of the two commissions would be held in
Washington December is. when report
probably would be submitted to President
Roosevelt.
Mr.. Pinchot said in part:
1.-The administration which is just draw
ing to a close will be remembered for
many achievements. From the passage OF
the national irrigation act to the punish
ment of great corporations which have
long defied the laws. from the prevention
of railroad rebating to the conservation OF
natural resources there runs through all
of them a single thread. This has been
peculiarly an administration full OF hu-
man feeling full of sympathetic under
standing of the position and point OF view
of the average man. The thread which
runs through all of it's varied work and
all its great results is that OF success1ui
attempt to understand what the needs
and rights of the average man are and
then to get them for him..
Il determined that the only way to pre-
vent a meeting between the two was to
drug Peter. I went to DIR. Wilson, the
post surgeon, and got him to give me
double dose Of choral. When l got back
to the house 1 persuaded Peter to take it.
keeping him in ignorance of what it was.
still under the influence of the opiate.
Annis saw Peters wife and left again for
New York Twenty minutes after he had
gone Peter awoke."

CONTEST IN FOURTH WARD
Interest in Ogden School Board Fight
Centers in District of
H. w. civilian

The school election campaign becomes
interesting as the date of election APP
proaches, as nothing is being left undone
by any of the candidates. The contest is
really centered around the Fourth ward,
where II. w. Civilian, president of the
present board, is the Democratic nominee,
and DR.. c. E. Coulter is the Republican
candidate. Both of these men have strong
forces at work but the indications are
said to be in favor of Mr.. Civilian.
In the Fifth ward it is asserted that the
election of ". S. Browning to succeed
himself is almost certain, while in the Sec
ond ward the sentiment is reported to be
strong in favor of w. H. Williams. In
the Third ward there is no contest for the
reason that the Republicans have Endorsed
the Democratic nominee.
For time il looked as if the First ward
was going 10 be a repetition of the Thlrd
ward case, but the Democrats finally got
together and named B. II. Goddard as
their candidate. Mr.. Goddard stands high
among the people of that ward is a prom
inent business man and is an important
factor in ecclesiastical circles. He has
served one term as member of the board
and at that time proved his qualifications
for the position. He did not seek the nom
nation, but in accepting the nomination
stated that if the people of the district
wanted him to serve in the position he
would do so TO the best of his ability
Many Of his friends are working in his
behalf and his chances of election are
bright.

PUBLICITY Is REGRETTED.
Mr.. Cox Explains Y. M. c. A. Atti
tude Toward de Brissac.

Oscar L. Cox. general secretary of the
Y. NJ. c. A, said last evening that he
regretted very much the publicity given
the Y NJ. c. A in connection with The
Herald expose of the Count de Bris-
sac.
we accepted De Brissac as a volunteer
teacher in our educational department -
said Mr.. Cox, because of his knowledge
of several languages. coupled with Gre
dentials which on their face seemed evil
dence of good character. We were MAX
ing efforts to assure ourselves concerning
his previous record, and if he had not
left just when he did he would have been
invited to withdraw. Inasmuch as he had
secured his acquaintance through the Y
NJ. c. A, / felt the association was in a
measure responsible for him and under
took to relieve the temporary embarrass-
ment of the young German who loaned
him money. We make every effort to
guard against intrusions of this charac-
ter, but in the numerous and cosmopoIi-
tan assemblage of men with whom we
have to deal we are not always able to
avoid being imposed upon"

VIII Investigate Thoroughly.

At the regular meeting of the
board of directors of the Chamber of
Commerce last night a committee
consisting of Messrs. S. B. Hutchin-
son, Horace T. DeLong, J Fl. Ran
kin, Frank A. Lyons and Edwin
Price was appointed to make investi-
cations regarding the best systems
of smudging and to report to the
board of directors. This important
matter was extensively discussed.
Last night an invitation was read
from the Glenwood Springs board of
trade asking the local Chamber of
Commerce to send representatives to
a big smoker to be held in Glenwood

tation will probably be accepted.

The opinion is pretty general now
that efreezes of Saturday and Sun
day nights did but comparatively
small damage. 1t was thought at
first that the fruit crop was ire
trievably ruined, and gloom settled
upon the whole community. Now,
however, 1t has developed that the
first scare was not justified. 1t is
thought that the apple crop is scarce
ly hurt at all. The peaches, plums.
apricots and cherries were hard hit;
but as these fruits are but small
part of our crop, the damage Will
be but slight. Even these fruits are
not nearly so badly damaged as it
was thought by the pessimistic ones
Monday morning. Numerous or
chards have been examined and the
uniform report has been that the
frost has done but little more than
save the growers the trouble and
cost of thinning the crop.-Montrose
