Sand Fish.

At low tide in midsummer ON GER
tain parts of the Breton coast men and
boys with baskets and hoes descend
the white beach to the seas edge.
They are anglers, but the fish they
seek live on dry land. With his hoe
each fisherman makes swiftly in the
packed sand shallow parallel trenches,
very close together and about a yard
long. If the luck be good every scratch
of the hoe uncovers three or four sill
very fish, the size of sardines, that
leap up glittering into the air. They
must be seized quickly or at once they
bury themselves in the sand again.
They are called 1ancons. The smaller
ones are used for mackerel bait: the
larger, with their heads cut off, make,
fried, an excellent dish a good deal
like fried smelts. With daylight tides
the lancons are seldom bigger than
mans middle finger, but with the
night tides, when promenaders have
not disturbed the sand they run very
large indeed Then, their lanterns flash
ing on the beach, the Breton fishermen
often capture lancons a foot long.

Members of the Body That Is to Uplift
Country Life.
They Are Wise to Their Job, Accord
ing to Their Record, and Will
Likely Have Views a.

The commission ON country life
which President Roosevelt appointed
a month ago is now fully organized
and will hold its first meeting soon in
Washington Professor L. III. Bailey,
head of the New York State College of
Agriculture. who on account of pres
sure of work declined the presidents
appointment as chairman. has since
been able to arrange his affairs so that
he has now accepted the place. The
commission, therefore. now stands as
the president named it. All the mem
bers of the commission have been close
students Gf the country's general agri-
cultural conditions for so many years
that they are regarded by officials here
as entitled to rank as experts, and in
addition President Roosevelt managed
in his selections to have every part Of
the country represented.
Qualifications of the Members.
DR.. Kenyon L. Butterfeld, president
of the Massachusetts Agricultural col
lege, represents the east; Henry Wal
lace, of Des Mo;nes. Ia, the west, and
Walter III. Page, the magazine editor,
who comes from North Carolina, the
south. In addition the members will
bring widely different viewpoints re-
garding the questions they will con-
slider. Wallace, the editor of farm
journal, is the actual farmer of the
group. DR. Bailey and DIR. Butter

of legislation that touches these sub
jects.
What 1t Is Going to Do.
United States Forester Pinchot has
a wide knowledge of rural conditions,
particularly in the western regions in
and around the national forests, and
his experience as an organizer will be
drawn OH to aid the commission in
mapping out its work. The president
in the letter to Professor Bailey outlin-
ed the general lines which the commits
sion will follow-to gather all avail
able information on the present condi-
fion Of country life, to recommend the
means of supplying such DEFICIENCIES as
are found to exist, and finally to sug-
gest methods of organized permanent
efforts in further investigation and
actual work which will result in max
ing life on the farm more attractive
and profitable.
Not Keeping Pace with the Times.
None of the members of the commits
sion believes that agriculture is on the
decline, or that country life is lacking
in efficiency, but they say that up to
this time there has not been SO much
constructive attention paid to the bet
terment of rural conditions as to those
in cities, and that as result the in
stitutions and social affairs of rural
communities have not kept pace with
the development of the country as a

FIGHTING FOR
THE LABOR VOTE
Continued from Page One

political situation IN that State very
thoroughly and viii be able to give
Mr.. Taft important advice as to what
he shall say and do during his tour of
the big Empire State. The President
has not only a very wide acquaintance
with the leaders in New York and has
sounded the sentiment there deeply,
but he has also campaigned over the
State many times and knows what line
of argument is likely to prove most eff
fective with the New York voters. On
the other hand, New York is very much
of an unknown country politically to
Mr.. Taft, who has made but a few
speeches in the State during his public
career.
Official declarations Of confidence,
almost of supreme confidence, prevail
on every hand in Washington, but in
spite of these the political world here
is nerving itself for the hardest Octo-
Der campaign that has been known in
sixteen years. All the cabinet mem
hers and other high officials Of speak
ing ability are making hurried plans
to get out upon the stump. Every man
of political influence is being urged to
lend a helping hand.
The results of polls taken in several
States have been conveyed to the Pres
ident These. on the whole, are salts
factory to him, if only he could rest
certain that many Republicans intend
to vote for Bryan without making
their intentions known, and also that
the party leaders would be able to get
the voters to the ballot-boxes more
or less careful canvass, in New York,
for instance, shows that Taft viii have
in that State about as many votes as
Roosevelt received. That should be
sufficient to assure him the State,
which, also, in all probability, would
assure him the presidency. But Roose.
welt s New York vote was not much
larger than Mckinley S, and there is
the possibility that united Democ-
racy might turn out in force and, as
sisted by a recalcitrant labor vote,
make the New York election uncom-
fortablv close.

Never Expected Labor Vote.

Arrayed against them in this labor
campaign from Washington are Presi-
dent Gompers and his executive coun-
ell, men who hitherto have been coop
Grating much with the President in
matters pertaining to the advancement
of labor interests. Mr.. Taft was al
ways skeptical, from the time he Sc
rlously became candidate, about the
labor vote He has said time and
again, as before the convention and
since then, that he did not expect or
ganized labor to support him. Presi-
dent Roosevelt did not accept that
view. He believed, and still believes,
that most of organized labor that is
normally Republican can either be
swung to Taft or diverted from Bryan
He feels a sense of personal obligation
to help bring such condition about,
and proposes to do his utmost to that
end.
New York and Ohio are the two
States where the labor problem, as af
feeting the campaign, is most serious
That is chiefly why both Taft and
Bryan are going to devote as much
time as they can to those two States
from now on. But the Republicans are
States, and Chairman Mack and Mr..
GOmpers are doing likewise. There viii
be less of the spectacular in this strug-
gle than in the strife to win other vot-
ers, but it viii be exceedingly intense.
While the general official opinion here
is that Taft s chances of election today
are about twice as good as Bryan S
chances, there is also a feeling that
after everything possible has been done
to sway other classes of voters. the Ia
boring men of Ohio and New York may
decide how both those States will vote,
and, accordingly, who is to be the next
President.
The speaking tours recently an
nounced. show that no small attention
is to be given to other Eastern States,
especially New Jersey. Maryland and
West Virginia. All have large labor
populations. If by any freak of poll
ties Ohio should go for Bryan and New
York against him, these other Eastern
States might decide the Presidency.
Dividing the Labor Leaders.
The Supreme efforts to reclaim the
labor vote. as directed from the White
House, have been primarily to show
that the labor leaders themselves are
not of one mind about it. For that
reason the President and Prof. Willis
Moore have been seeking to bring out
some of the vice presidents of the

Great Need Of Campaign Funds.

The great concern of the Republican
managers about campaign funds is large
ly because of the necessity for money
to get the New York vote out There
has been a striking tendency among
voters of many States in recent years
TO take no interest in politics. In some
of the larger States the stay-at- homes
on election day have exceeded 100000
The red fire and hurrahing will be
kept up to stimulate popular interest,
but In the few working campaign days
that now remain, even including the
Monday before election, the most Sc
rious effort will be directed toward or
ganizing for getting the voters out and
also toward keeping Republican work
ing men from voting for Bryan or from
not voting at all.
The President seems to be convinced
that it is not expedient for him to show
his hand in the campaign from now on
as openly as he did in writing the Sc
ries of letters over the Hearst expos
ufes. Evidences multiply from many
quarters that, while he did put some
ginger into the campaign, his activity
was resented.
Therefore, Mr.. Roosevelt s work
henceforth win be of more quiet char
aeter. His conferences recently with
New York leaders, who have been sum
moned here, and with officials who can
help in the conversion of the laboring
men, furnish examples. The President
is putting all his energy and enthusiasm
into this work for the time being, just
as he did into the series of letters.
Prof. Willis L. Moore, Chief of the
Weather Bureau, who has been working
with determination for labor support
for Taft, ever since the Chicago con
vention, and Mr. Edward A. Moseley,
Secretary of the Interstate Commerce
Commission, are two of his ieutenants
in this effort.

Meanwhile, President Gompers is out
upon the stump fighting like a demon.
He is delivering speeches every night
to large audiences and warning the
people against campaign canards and
the statements of labor leaders, who.
from motives that might not entirely
bear the light, are tagging in the war
fare. He is also laundering away in
the Federationist, which is the official
publication of organized labor, and is
supplying material and ideas for the
hundreds of labor papers throughout
the country. The Federation is credit
ed with having splendid organization,
and there is no question but what this
organization is being worked to the ut
most in favor of Mr.. Bryan's election.
Almost every day central labor bodies
in States and large cities are coming to-
gether to pass upon the Gompers issue,
although considerable number of them
acted earlier in the campaign Nowhere
are they being asked to endorse Bryan
openly. The requests are put in a more
diplomatic way, simply to endorse and
approve of Mr.. Gompers' policies. To
date the very great majority of these
central bodies, practically all of them,
in fact, have voted TO endorse, and to
that extent the Gompers campaign has
been gaining Roadway But the Presi-
dent of the Federation is now approach
ing the crisis, for only recently were
the Republican forces massed so pow
erfully against him.
Would Be Great Labor Victory.
If the organized labor people should
succeed in turning out majority of
their votes for Bryan and elevating him
to the Presidency, it would be the
greatest victory in their history. The
labor leaders would become a greater
power than ever in National politics
They would be in position to demand
things at the Capitol, of the Senate,
and the House, and their demands would
be met
But if Taft is elected, the labor
unions viii receive terrible blow, from
which they will hardly recover in a
number of years, The Republican Sen
ate and House would treat them with
more or less indifference, and at the
White House they would be on terms
of less intimacy than they have enjoyed |
with President Roosevelt.
Probably much important history is |
being made in the course of this cam
paign strife in which organized labor |
and President GompeTs are figuring so
conspicuously. !
