There nre a number of very Import ant questions, such ns that of good, roads, with which the States nlono can denl, and whore all that the Na tlonal (lovorniriont can do Is to co operate with them. The same Is true of the education- of the Amoricnn farmer. A number of the States havo themselves started to help in this work and tho Deportment of.

It Is therefore clearly true that a great advance has been mado In the direction of finding ways by which tho Government caji help tho farmer to help himself tho only kind of help which n self-respecting man will ac cept, or. I may ndd. which will In the end do him any good. Much has been done In those ways, and farm life and furm processes continually change for the better. The farmer himself still retains, because of his surroundings, and the nature of his work, to a pre eminent degree the qualities which nunlltlon HE CAN NOT AFFORD TO LOSE HIS INDIVIDUAL INITI ATIVE, HIS INDIVIDUAL WILL AND POWER, BUT HE CAN BEST USE THAT POWER IF FOR CERTAIN OBJECTS HE UNITES WITH HIS FELLOWS..

They acted ns a unit, and the report which they unanimously signed Is a masterpiece of sound 'common nenso and of sound doctrine on tho very questions with which our people should most deeply concern themselves. The Immediate effect of this commissions appoint ment and action was a) vast and Incal culable benefit to the Nation; but tho ultimata effect will bo oven hotter, if capitalist, wage-worker, and law maker all lio will tako to heart and act upon tho lessons set forth In the report they havo made. Of course tho National Government has but a small field in which it can work In labor matters. Something It can do, howovor, nnd that something ought to bo done. Among other things I should like to soe tho District of Columbia which Is completely under tho control of tho National Govern mont receive a sot of modol labor laws Washington Is not a city of very largo Industrlofl but still It has some. Wlso labor legislation for tho city of Wash ington would be n good thing in Itself nnd It would bo a fnr bettor thing becnuso a standard would thoroby bo set for the country as a whole. Laws For Labor. In the field of general legislation ro tating to those subjects tho action of Congress is nccossnrly very limited. Still thoro nro cortnln ways In which we can act. Thus tho Seorstary of tho Navy has recommonded with my cordial nnd hearty approval the on actmout of n strong employcr's-llnbll- Ity law In tho nnvy-ynrds of tho Na tlon. It should bo extended to similar branches of the Oovornmont work. Again somotlmcs such laws can bo en acted as an Incident to tho Nation's control over interstate commorco. In my last annual mossngo to Congress I ndvocntcd tho passago of a law In reference to car ' couplings to strengthen tho features of tho ono al ready on the statute books so as to minimize tho oxposuro to death and maiming of railway employeos. Much opposition had to bo" ovorcomo.
