Bismarck, North Dakota, support ed by rounding agriculture, boasted several night clubs" Many farm folks patronized them, some in overalls. For the price of a drink or two they could have an entire evenings high time of danc- ing and semi-rustic cutting up.
 The President in his fireside ad- dress after the survey, said it was well to spend money to preserve that farm life right on the ground where it now is It interested many to hear President Roosevlt say:
 . I would not have you think for single minute that there is permanent disaster in tn he s e drought regions, or that the picture I saw meant depopulating these areas"
 That is the second time the President specifically has sought to set at rest earlier impressions de- rived from the activities of other Federal figures that a mass re- settlement program was in view.

DiRTiFARMERs DROUGHT AREA,
 STILL HOPEFUL
Evidence Secured at First Hand During Recent @ Trip of Roosevelt

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Out of the Presidents survey of the drought region and shrewd observa- tions by reporters and others who accompanied the xecutive has come evidence of one factor:
 The drought-stricken farmers are not despairing.
 Naturally the presence of MT Roosevelt tended to excite farmers to forget some of their ills but if they had been trying to impress upon him any desperate need of relief they might have been ex- pected to put forward the most dole full facet of their existence. That was far from the case.
 The Pr e si dent found farmers along his course anything but de- spondent Several reasons devel- oped. NO farm is ever destitute of some life sustaining ability, and for that reason the farmers ap- peared unwilling to quit their land. They wanted to stay there, aided by bit of Government money to feed their livestock and supply seed for go at it another year.

TO NAME COMMISSION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23-With President Roosevelt expected to name a new Maritime Commission shortly, Shipping Board officials said among it's problems will be the prescribing of minimum wage scales and reasonable working con- ditions for United States seamen.
 Shipping Board officials said comprehensive data on wages and related matters now held by the board, will be turned over to the commission and it will probably confer with the shipowners and seamen's representatives before pro- mitigating minimum standards.
 The commission, to be named by the President, comes under the Maritime Act, and gives the com mission control of subsidies to ship owners and authority to establish minimum wages and working con- ditions.

BURGLARS QUIT IN DISGUST AS
 LOOT IS SMALL

VIENNA, Austria, Sept. 23.-"We quit. It does not pay to be burlars in Vienna any longer
 This was written on a slice of paper which was left with several tools in the office of Vienna transport film by disappointed bur- glars, who forced open four safes and found in all less than S10.
 In the office of Vienna lawyer other burglars had obviously gath cred similar experiences and noth- ing but experience. They left the following note Sir, you ought to be jailed for misleading your fel- lowmen by keeping two safes in your bureau though you have noth- ing to put in them.
 Messrs Berenfeld and Rosenberg, a Vienna mining firm, were even presented with considerable sum of money by charitable burglars.
 After bursting open the steel con- crete safe in their bureau the burglars found there only few silver coins. Probably to express their contempt for the poor Aus trian business men, they left in place of the thirty Austrian schil- lings, some old French and Chin csc banknotes, which they evident ly thought to be worthless.
 The old banknotes, however, rep resented a value of about s2,00o,- and Messers, Berenfeld and Ros- enberg would have been perfectly happyif if the police would not have expressed the suspicion that the present was stolen from somebody else by the anonymous benefactors

NEW PRESS TECHNIQUE

A new technique with the press was evolved at the Des Moines meeting of Roosevelt and Governor Landon. Reporters were excluded. But the picture of the meeting with much of it's significance was preserved by inviting in photogra- pherS.
 Because the meeting had definite historic import, it might be hoped that a few of the Governors and Senators present sat down in the quiet of home study aftreward and recorded in detail everything that went on. That such meeting could take place without especial pomp and in all friendliness seems to spell something for the Amer ican system of government in con- tras with the turmoil and distrust among leaders abroad.

 If the ship owners have the say, and are able to get away with it, conditions on ships will be worse than before the 1884 strike.
