When President Roosevelt, in one
Of his messages, took up the question
of rural life, the drift to the cities
and the ways and means Of rendering
the farm more attractive to the young
and more comfortable for the old
not few editors expressed surprise
that so general and academic a
matter should be deemed worthy OF
attention in a state paper. But Mr.
Roosevelt regarded it as intensely
practical, and his present action
the creation Of an able committee to
take stock of the rural situation
shows that his interest in the prob
lem is deep and strong.
OF course. as he says, the commit
tee, which is asked to submit a re-
port before the end Of December
cannot enter upon any extensive OF
original work of investigation. AL
that it is expected 10 do is to civ,

known, a statement Of the problem
and the recommendation Of meas.

What Mr.. Roosevelt aims at, plainly
IS an intelligent basis for discussion
the awakening Of the public atten-
ton and the initiation of a campaign
for the Improvement of conditions OF
the farm.
Nothing but good can result from
the plan conceived by the President

sor Bailey, whom the President has
made the head of his commission, has
written hopefully on the future OF
the farm and the growing recogni-
ton on the part of college students
of the wholesomeness and indepen-

of agriculture and allied industries
But all that desultory discussion has
done only indicates the far greater
utility and value of systematic and

Mr.. Rooseyelt's letter is an excel

President or Proxy!
(New York World

Mr. Taft is so much of a Proxy that
he does not venture TO improve upon
his principal, even where improve
ment is easy and natural.
Theodore Roosevelt will be remem-
bered as a President who preached
nightly against certain admitted
wrongs, but who did not practice over
much. Like some other professional
exhorbitors. he has been reckless of
speech, careless of income and outgO
and Indifferent 10 ways and means.
Mr. Taft may have statesmanlike ideas
bearing on these points, but he does
not venture to ayow them They are
not included in his Proxy
There is need of real craftsmanship
at Washington We are spending a
thousand millions year. We are
playing a strong hand in the war
game We are involved ten thousand
miles away in colonial adventure We
have privilege and prostration. We
have plutocracy and depression. We
are giving the world a fairly success
full imitation of imperialism.
But empires that endure have states
men, economists and financiers who
look after resources and who note

peralism must not rest wholly upon
extravaganza or upon epaulets and
ribbons. Money must be had. 1t
must be drawn from the people by
taxation. If the people are to pay the
taxes they must be prosperous, and
if discomfort is not to appear the
imposts must be just and reasonable

terprise and industry. Expenditure
must be wise
Much of our thousand millions of

our taxation is laid discriminatory for
the benefit of favored interests A
government that shows Partially is
in no position to establish compre-
hensive justice A nation that wastes
is sure to come to want a govern
ment that can do no more than de-
nounce injustice is certain to be a
failure.
Since Mr.. Taft has refused to dis
cuss the important questions bearing
upon business and industrial revival,
the unemployment of the idle the
and the reduction OF the cost of liv-
ing, it is gratifying to note the fact
that Mr.. Bryan promises to devote his
speech of the capaign to these prob
lens. The subject has been too long
neglected by our public men. We
have had many takers but few
thinkers. OF sensation and denuncia-
ton we have had more than enough
There is need now Of constructive
craftsmanship, and every essay in
that line is entitled to respectful con
sideration.
If Mr.. Taft aims to be President he
should have some ideas of these high
~ important questions, even if they
do involve criticism Of Mr. Roosevelt,
and he should express them fearless
ly. If he is content to be Proxy he
will continue as he has begun, with
eyes turned toward Oyster Bay and in
a posture of alteration.

FARM LITERATURE CAMPAIGN.

The Ellensburg Localizer advocates
a winter campaign for the circulation
of farm literature among prospective
homeseekers. 1t argues that the farm
ers of the middle west are anxious to
read something about the big crops.
fine climate and fertile soil of Wash
ington. They have plenty Of time for
thoroughly Jigesting these little book
lets that tell Of the beauties of a new
country. Spring is far away from
some of the snow-bound localities.
There are many gloomy days in store
for the people before the birds are
singing and the call of the pillow is
heard in the land. In the meantime
let the families have good literature
to cheer them up for future travel
over the highways of the west.
One important message has been
sent broadcast by the railroad COM
panies. It announces that the colo
mist rates will be in effect from March
to April 81 of this year. During that
time the cost of travel will be reduced
to the minimum. Thousands of fam
lilies will leave the Mississippi valley
states and journey westward. Many
dwellers in the states of Minnesota,
Iowa, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas
will come west for the first time. The
country will be filed with homeseekers.
1t is advisable for every community to
have some literature issued for the
purpose of educating these people in
lar section. Now is the time to send out
the literature
No community of this state has too
many settlers. There is room in every
