washington, D. c. Emphasizing
that not dollar Of the public money
hau bean paid to any one Of the
members for his work, President
Roosevelt submitted to congress the
report of the commission on country
life.
Mr.. Roosevelt declares that "our
civilization rests at bottom on the
wholesomeness, the attractiveness
and the completeness, as well as the
prosperity OF life, in the country.
Defining the object OF the commits
sion as being mot to help the farmer
raise better. crops, but to call his at
tentioD to the opportunities for bet
ter business and better living on the
farm the president outlined the
agencies instrumental in that direc-
ton:
Stressing the value of organization,
Mr.. Roosevelt refers to the desirable
ity Of improving rural environment
so as to so equalize city and coun-
try as to make the latter more
attractive place to live in.
The president recommends that$25,-
600 be appropriated to enable the
commission to digest it's recently ac-
quired material.
The report Of the commission de-
scribes with. some fitness the exist
| ing conditions Of farm life and points
out the causes that may have led TO
| it's present lack of organization. 1t
suggests methods for the redirection
of rural society, for arresting the
drift to the city, for maintaining the
natural rights of the, farmer and for
| the development of an organized ru-
/ raj life that will promote the pros
perity of the whole nation.
Broadly speaking, agriculture in the
! United States is prosperous, and the
conditions in many of the great farm
ing regions are Improving. Country
homes generally are improving incom.
fort, attractiveness and healthfulness.
Masy institutions, organizations and
movements are actively contributing
to the increasing Welfare OF the open
country.
There has never been time when
the American farmer was as well off
as he is today, when not only his
earning power, but the comforts and
advantages he may secure are consid.

and fundamental change in Oar whole

fury.
Yet it is true, Notwithstanding ali
this progress, as measured by histori
cal standards, that agriculture is not
commercial as profitable as 1t is
entitled to be for the labor and en-
ergy that the farmer expends and
the risks that he> assumes, and that
the social conditions in the open
country are far short Of their posi-
bilities.
Rural society is lacking chiefly in
knowledge on the part Of the farm

gfons, resulting in the widespread de-

FRAUD SAYS TILLMAN.
OF the Suffrage Laws Of the Southern
States. = Democrats were. Annoyed,

Washington, d. C.--During the
course of a speech on the Crum nom-
nation in the senate, Senator Till
man of South Carolina delighted the
republicans and outraged his demo-
cratic colleagues by his remarks on
southern states suffrage restrictions.
Many Of the democrats got UP and
left the chamber. The negrophiles
listened with their hands to their
ears, eager to catch every word.
Senator Tillman insisted that the
Acknowledgement laws Of the south
were frauds on their face; that their
administration was joke; that they
were in open and fragrant violation
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments; that they were aimed solely
at the negro and disfranchised him
because he was negro.
THE fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments are not worth the paper they
were written on" said Senator Till
man, while every man in the cham
Der gasped with CONSERVATION.
Senator Tillman admitted having
once in his life voted for a negro. 1t
was before the days Of the disfraE-
chisement amendment. He was liv-
ing in the Anderson district, which
was Overwhelmingly black repubii-
can. He said the democrats had ger
rymandered the district so as to get
all the negroes in that district. 1T
had wings like a bat and legs like a
grasshopper,' said the South Caro-
linian We'll, / got tired voting It's
sue paper ballots and once voted for
the negro candidate"
He adverted to the Japanese situa-
ton in California, and took the anti
Japanese side of the controversy, say
ing it was plain case of racial an
| tipathy and that he was on the side
OF the white man.
Mr.. Tillman was supported by his
colleague from South Carolina, Mr..
Gary, who spoke for forty minutes
discussing the issue in a perfectly le-
climate way, as social problem,
rather than a political Issue. He said
there was no question but that Crum
could discharge the duties of the Of
flee, but that he should not be forced
upon people to whom he was distaste.

While it is becoming apparent that
Collector Crum cannot be confirmed
at the present session, it is also evil

fer for legislation which the lead
ers do not intend shall be passed.
