Sixty Years q King.

Much OF the splendor appropriate to
a celebration Of the sixtieth anniver-
sary OF Francis Joseph's accession to
the throne of Austria dec. 2, 1S49
was discounted by the observances In
the capital of the empire In May and
June last. The people Of Austria and
Hungary have made the year rather
than the day OF coronation significant
Sixty years is a long reign. Those
who have achieved it or surpassed 1t
are usually among the notable figures
Of history. Among the latter 1t Is Of
Interest to recall Queen Victoria Of
England, who reigned sixty-three
years, from 1893 to 1901, and Luis
XIV, who Welded the destinies Of
France seventy-two years. from 1913
to 1715.
In point Of fact the reigns OF both
Queen Victoria and Emperor Francis
Joseph were longer than that Of the
noted French king. A regency ruled
Tor the lnIant king Tor eight years.
and, although he Is assumed to have
reigned from the age of thirteen, his
rule was only nominal. Victoria was
eighteen when she assembled the throne
and Francis Joseph the same age
when he took up the scepter during a
period Of revolutionary excitement in
1S4S. Francis had a troubled reign.
Last year his health was critical. and
his countEymen were surprised when
he rallied to greet the German princes
i'm his palace last May and to stand
the ordeal OF a three days review Of
the historical pageantry which was the
chief feature Of the years anniversary
ceremonies the following month.

Ing OF the drudgery Of the farm and
the increasing Of the social and intel
lectual life OF the farmer and his fam
iIy WIN tend to stop the fiocking Of
young men and women to the city and
VIII increase the prosperity, the intel
IIgence and the happiness Of our most
numerous class. In many European
nations the farms are so cut mp that
those who till them can group their
homes into little hamlets. This re-
moves the lonesomeness OF country
life and adds TO social pleasure. In
this country the introduction Of the
telephone and rural free delivery has
brought the farmer somewhat nearer
to his kind. What Is now required are
good roads, the identifying of the
landscape and the advancement Of So
clal and intellectual life In rural COM
munities. In a business way the
farmers need more cooperation among
themselves both In buying and selling.
Now they are at the mercy Of market
manipulators and mlddlemen. If they
would band together, had warehouses
In which to store their products until
the market was most favorable and
would buy In large quantities they
would save at both ends. These OBJ
jects can frequently be brought about
by organizations such as the Grange,
the Alliance, the Farmers union and
kindred bodies. Such movements serve
another desirable object In that they
increase the social life OF the farmer
and heighten his intellectual life, the
lodge room often serving as a debating
club. literary society and a school.

II must have required some clever
coaching to work the present genera
ton Of Japs up for the hearty vel
come they recently gave our battle
ship feet. The keynote Of the well
come seems to have been that the
Americans brought greatness and pros
perity to Japan and that the demon
stration Of 1908 was only an answer
to the call Of Commodore Perry fifty
years ago, when japan was opened up
to the world.
Now, the japanese hate the foreign
er today as heartily as their ancestors
did when Perry somehow convinced
them that It would be a good thing to
mix with the world. 1t has never been
made clear whether It was the size
Of Perry's feet and guns or an appre-
citation OF the big land behind the
fleet and guns that converted the Japs
In 1858 or Perry's diplomatic way OF
putting the whole question. 1t was
not unanimous then with the nation.
Civil strife followed. Finally the Lib
erals won, although they had to con-
cede about everything to the universal
prejudice against foreigners. How
this could have been explained to the
present day Japs, who worship their
ancestors and are not inclined to for
get the past and 'let bygones be by
gOnes," is a riddle. Perhaps there Is q
Japanese fairy lore In which the Amer
lean smile and the American touch al
ways work right for good Japs.

All Of these efforts seemed to him re-
lated and capable Of being included
In one general work. In a gardening
and landscape page he has repeatedly
urged this entire programme, at one
time giving II a definite statement
thus:
II has occurred to the writer that there
should be a general movement in1ugu-
rated along certain definite lines that are
kindred and that naturally support each
other.
The first OF these should be n propa-
ganda showing the importance OF horti-
culture and landscape gardening. This
should not be confined 20 large estates
but the people generally should be inter-
ested I'm IT,
Second.-A movement should be inaugu-
rated against the prim. precise and form

lines Of natural grace and beauty.
Third.-Both OF these should support
the campaign for the Identifying OF cities
and villages, with which they are so
closely connected. and in turn should be
supported by IT,
Fourth.-They should also lend sympa-
thetic aid to the efforts At tree planting
and the preservation OF forests. which
should be made to serve the ends OF
beauty as well as those OF utility.

Value Of Good Roads.

After writing along these lines so
long 1t can be imagined with what
qualification l greeted the presidents
recommendations when they came. 1t
is true that his programme only direct
II concerns the sixth item, that rela-
tive to making farm life more attrac-
tive, but 1t viii necessarily include also
the fifth or good roads feature and the
seventh or that relating to school work
ON these lines. The selection Of Gift
ford Pinchot, the efficient head Of the
forestry bureau, as a member Of the
commission gives assurance that tree
planting will also enter into considera-
ton. As for landscape gardening and
the identifying Of environments, these
must come both In city and country.
The president specifically mentions the
school feature, and the work of the
commission has already developed the
imperative need OF good roads. Good
roads not only assist the farmer In get.
ting 20 market, but facilitate travel and
add to the amiability OF all concerned
1t would be frightful to contemplate
how many men have gone wrong
through swearing at bad roads.
The five gentlemen asked by the
president to serve on the commission
are Professor L. ii. Bailey, director OF
the New York State Agricultural col
lege; Clifford Pinchot, head of the for
estry department; Henry Wallace, ed
itor Of an agricultural paper at DeE
Moines, Ia; Walter II. Page. editor Of

lt Is TIE presidents ,desire that the
commission deliver IFS report not later
than the beginning Of the new year,
after which he win embody Its eonclu-
si0ns and some ideas OF his own In 4

The commission has already written
nearly half million letters to farmers
and other persons connected with
country life. Answers to these WIN

unusual or notable replies WIN be read

Hearings are being held throughout

What Farmers Need.
In all fairness It must be said that
our agricultural department is already
doing an immense service to the farm
ers. 1t Is spreading knowledge OF SCI
entific methods, is conducting impor-
tant experiments and In the south is
carrying on schools that are OF great
practical benefit. AS far as it goes,
that work is well. AS the president
says, however, agriculture is not all
OF country life" 1t is Important to
get the largest possible crops out Of
the soil 1t is also important to get the
most OF Joy and progress out OF the
heart and soul OF man. What the
farmers need Is to unite for their own
protection, stop the leeches from bleed
Ing them to death, get all the latest
machinery and scientific knowledge to
aid them, have warehouses and band
themselves together both to buy and
sell, organize for mutual benefit, i'm
provement and social life, beautify
their homes. make life more attractive
to themselves, their wives and their
children, learn to eliminate the drudg-
ery-in a word, to find themselves and
discover the secret Of all happiness In
knowing how to live. 1t can be done.
and with intelligent Investigation and
persevefing effort 1t will be done. The
farmers need what we all need-to
learn how to cooperate.

Roosevelt on tree chopping expeditions.
Mr.. Pinchot's immense services to the
country In stopping the depredations OF
timber thieves, in putting bounds on
greed In the cutting OF lumber, in intro
ducing a scientific system in the choice
OF trees for lumber so that the forests
are not left depleted, In planting trees
on land useless for other purposes, In
caring for the woodlands already In
existence and In extending the knOwl-
edge Of forestry cannot receive too
high praise. Not till a future genera
ton will the worth Of this work be
fully appreciated. Had IL not been for
some such man stepping into the
breach there would have been a timber
famine In this country inside Of a half
century. Even as 1t is the peril is not
entirely past.
The secret OF Mr.. Plnchot's success
Is that he IN one Of those men who be-
lieve in their cause. He believes In it
so much that he is ready to devote his
life to II. 1t Is that kind Of man that
moves the world. PinchOt and others
are rapidly educating this country up
to the needs of planting trees and pre-
serving those We already have. 1t is
certain that he will take up the kindred
work Of improving life on the farm
with the same fine enthusiasm.

A Work of Great Import.

Walter II. Page in his magazine,
the Worlds Work, has long advocated
such a movement as the president has
put under way. His intelligent appre-
citation OF the importance of the task
may be judged from the following
paragraph. which appeared in an edi-
torial summing up the farmer and his
future:
Getting a living from the soil is now a
scientific and profitable pursuit for those
who know best how TO do it-those who
take advantage OF all the new knowledge.
AS the number OF such persons increases
and better and better methods are used
the profits and the joys OF country life
Will grow. Organization will take the
place OF wasteful individual work. The
intellectual life will be cultivated. The
time dreamed OF by the poets and philos-
ophers Will come-may come-throughout
the great fertile stretches OF our country.
and IL would come within a remarka bly,
short time IL all the forces now at work
for II could be co-ordinated and directed
right A great common movement toward
such an end would take rank as the most
important work in our land, perhaps the
most important in the whole world.
That has the right ring. With two
such men as Pinchot and Page on this
commission something worth while
win follow. / do not know the other
gentlemen, but judge from what little
