UpIiftlnn enc Rural Life.

we have a great deal OF wholesome
talk about the uplift OF rural life,"
sold the governor Of the Empire State.
Charles e. Hughes, at the Trumans-
burg fair, and he added. my opinion
Is that rural life is very high up now,
and we can put It a little higher up to
advantage"
There has been some discussion of
the wisdom 0f President Roosevelt's
action In appointing national com
mlTs ION 10 investigate conditions Of
rur,l life and the status OF the farm
ers Of the country with view to leals-
latlon by congress on the subject.
Opinions as 20 tile advisabllity OF his
course may differ, but there can be no
question that In one way or another
something ought to be done to make
rural life more attractive and stop to
some extent the drift Of the popula-
tlon away from the country and to-
ward the great cities Mr.. Roosevelt
thinks that the tendency toward con-
gestlon In the large centers OF popula-
ton Is not altogether because OF the
belief that more money is to be made
In the city than in the country, but
TINT the greater attractiveness Of life
IN large community has much to do
With IT, ny making country life less
full OF drudgery and more Astounding
In opportunities for enjoyment and In
tellectuai Improvement he thinks much
could be done TO keep the young peo.
pie on the farms and stimulate a ma.
ional development that would be
healthful Ia every sense Of the word
Few win dispute the accuracy OF Mr.
Rnorevelts estimate OF conditions.
whatever they think OF his proposals
as TO Improving them. As Governor
fInghes says. our American rural life
i on a very high plane now, but 1t is
not as high as II might be or as It
needs to be II some check Is to DO

exodus from the country districts to

ARMY DISCUSSING
CORNNAN'S CASE
Imposing List of Generals in
Court-Martial TO Try Fort
Wayne Officer.

Utmost secretly is being maintained
by the War Department relative 10 the
coming court-nlartial OF Col Daniel
Cornman, commanding the Seventh In
fantry at Fort Wayne, near Detroit,
Mich, and TO the charges Of petty graft
ing Of forage by other officers.
The case promises many sensations.
but. owing to the course being pursued
by War Department officials, there will
be no new developments until the court
martial meets at 10 O'Clock on the morn
ing ei Tuesday, September .. "Or as
soon thereafter as practicable.
Although it was admitted that Colonel
Cornman would be brought up for trial,
and that action would be taken against
several other officers, their names would
not be disclosed. 1t was SAID al the War
Department. however. that none of the
officers involved are well known in
Washington. and that none Of them
have had long detail here.
The court-martiaI is the most preten-
uous court that has been assembled since
IN famous trial of Commissionary Egan
in February 1893, as the result of the
Egan-Miles 'embalmed beef" eontro-
versy.
The charges grew out of a quarrel
between Dr. Peter e. Field, the regi-
mental surgeon, and DR.. J. l. BuFk-
hart, contract surgeon, also stationed
at Fort Wayne. II is said that DR..
Field complained 10 Colonel Cornman of
an alleged Illegal agreement between
the young officers at the post, and the
contract surgeon, but that the colonel
mad dismissed II as row in the medi-
cal department
II IS charged that eight or ten horses,
belonging ia fact TO DIR. Burkhart, but
being credited as belonging to the Of
ticers, we're beiUg foraged at Govern
lnent expense, DR. BuTkhlrt thereby
keeping his horses fOT nothing, and The
