' COUNTRY LIFE COMMISSION I The Commission on Country Life, appointed by President Roosevelt, left Washington a few days ago and will visit several Educational centres of the West for the purpose of obtaining in formation on the condition of Western country life, whether any thing needs to be done to improve it, and if so, what it may be. It is proposed to hold hearings at agricultural colleges so far s possible, as these institutions provide effective organizations for securing the attendance of persons who are well qualified to express an opinion on the country life question. In particular, the commiscion invites the attendance at these hearings of rep resentative farmers, teachers, busincrs men, physicians and others who live in the open country or hav-3 direct relations with it. Accredited delegates from granges, farmers' clubs or similar orgazizaticms as well r3 farmers and others who come on their own responsibility and who are likely to Le helpful in the investi gation will be welcome. The meetings v.-ill te public, but are not held for the purpose of making speeches. Full and free dis cussions of the various problems affecting the life of the farmer, especially those relating to the larger economic, social and san itary questions of the open country will form the basis for these hearings. As the commission can meet only a short time at each place, a portion of the conference will be devoted to mapping out plans for further consideration and study of these questions, the results to be submitted at 'a later date, for the use of the commission. ' ' - The whole idea of the administration is to bring the people of the country, and by this we mean the entire nation, closer to gether. Specialists will be employed to give them information concerning country life in other countries, and how to make the most of thoir opportunities and resources. The plan is an excel lent one and will be the means of greatly improving the manner and methods of living. i . .1. ser. Not on your life. VVhatever else the Germans may oe vucjr are no fools, and there could be nothing gained by a war between England and Germany except the defeat of the latter in the end, though it might be long drawn out. Bft'ore finally adjourning the National Grange adopted a reso lution declaring that "the products of the foresfc lumber, coal and iron, should be placed on the free list," but tor all that we have a sneaking sort of a notion that congress won't put any of them there. GOOD ROADS CONTENTION TOMORROW ARMY AND NAVY E GAM TOII A scientist says it's wrong to charge the occasional fatalities to the X-raya, when they are solely due to carelessness in hand ling the tubes. Just so. A smoker goes into a powder magazine and it blows up. The powder isn't blamed. . "I will not serve in a country governed by bandits," cabled a United States consul in Honduras, who tired of waiting for action on his resignation from Washington, But at that we doubt if the conditions in Honduras are worse than in some of the other 7x9 countries in Central America. John D. Rockefeller says he was very proud of his first mli lion dollars, and there is quite a sizable bunch who are firm in the belief that he has many millions of which he should be very much ashamed. . Of course the Boston society 'woman wasn't hitting at the mere human members when she said she considered her dog a member of the family, but for all that it may have been tough on the dog. Official geologists say there is coal enough in the United States to last 4000 years' at the present rate of consumption. Maybe so, but what good does that do the man whose bin is empty? - . . . . The Northwest football championship having been decided, it is now in order to get down to business for the short time that intervenes before-the holdiays are upon us. - Steps should be taken at once to prevent the Michigan post master, who got a check for 2 cents for a year's salary, getting reckless in the purchase of Christmas gifts. Evidently if Oresron could sret another trv at those Washinff- ton football artists, the Northwest championship would not be located in the Evcrgreen state. . Andrew Carnegie asserts that the tariff has enabled the steel trust to rob the American people for years past and Andy is in a splendid position to know. Good roads discussion will hold the boards tomorrow. There is more than one "pace that kills," says the Fresno Re pu' lican. The dobauclee, who eats and drinks too much, sleeps too little, works not at all, and wastes his physical substance in riotous excesses, soon pay? the penalty. But we have been hav ing some examples recently of another pace that kills the paces of bij business graft. Big business work does not kill. Great captains of legitimate industry thrive on it. But big business worry does, and there is no source of business worry like busi ness wrong. Nearly every man exposed by Hughes in the life insurance investigations is now etiher dead or is a nervous phy ical wreck, and lately comes the news that H. H. Rogers is a ner vous wreck, Harriman and Morgan are still physically sound, but let some corruption legislation touch them personally and they will age twenty years in a month. It does not pay. The debauching of the public honor is beginning to cost the s me price that the debauchery of private virtue always costs. It is too high a prjoe to pay, whether for pleasure, for money or for success. We shall soon be able to add to Ben Franklin's "hon esty is the best policy" the newor discovery that "honest men can eat and sleep and work and grow old." Evidently the dis honest man cannot do it much longer. We think a large portion of the trouble experienced in secur ing pure foods is because of the failure of the consumer to take any pains to see that ho gets gyod stuff, says the Oregon Trades man. We wonder how many consumers read the labels on the jfoodo they purchase. Not very, many, we imagine. Most of them realize that yiere is a label, in a vague sort of way, and that is all. What they want is to have the governiSent attend to all that to see to it and save them the bother. The pure food law has done all it can in the way of safeguarding food products, but if the labels aro all rights nd the stuff is just what the label says it is, it is up to tho oonsnmeto decide whether or not he wants C3 "Fighting Bob" Evans is to try his hand at railroad building in Southern California. If he has luck in proportion to the good will the country hafor him, he'll more than make good. Somebody has given out tho information over in England and we suspect that he is a German, that the British dominion is in danger of invasion by tho land and naQ 1 forces of the Kai- t LABOR NOTES X Teamsters at Emporia, Kas., have formed a union. The dye workers In Minneapolis, Minn., have recently organized. The Operative Plasterers' Interna tional Union has Joined the A. P. of L. The Retail Clerks of McAlester, Okln., have obtained a reduction In working hours. . The labor unions of Albany, N. Y., have erected and opened a tuber culosis pavilion. The vnrlous central bodies of Orange county, New York, have join ed a county labor union. - The annual convention of the Sea men's Union will be held at New Orleans, beginning next Monday. . The wages of women In Asiatic Turkey vary rrom 10 to 15 cents a day for ten hours work a day. A reorganization of the building trades unions tins been brought about In Buffalo, N. Y., after many years of warfare. United Brewery Workers of Amer ica have a cash surplus on hand of J97.622.4l and an Investment In mu nicipal bonds of $300,000. Additional death benefits for a membership of seven or more years and $300 in one of ten or more years have been established by the Brother- nood or painters, Decorators and Pa perhangers. The Bnkers' and Coufectioners' International Union has adopted a plan to fully organize all the large cities of the United States, with the Idea of having a membership of 100, 000 within a stated time. Paper mills, of which there are eight in India, employ 4,700 persons, but this Is not at present a progres sive industry, as European wood pulp paper Is largely Imported. There Is, however, i prospect of the estab lishment of wood pulp manufacture In India. The Women's Club of Magnolia, Mass., Is snld to be the only one of Its kind In existence. It has a member ship of more than three hundred, all women employed as workers In the hotels, boarding houses and resi dences of the summer population of that resort. . John H. Walker, president of the Illinois Mine Workers Union, has been brought out by friends of John Mitchell us a candidate to oppose President Lewis of the United Mine Workers, for International president at the annual convention of "he latter orgAnliatlon next Janunry.O Fifty per cent of all men eniploved In the printing trades in Kingstown, Jamaica, -have given notice to their employers that they will go on strike next Mondajp.beoaii(athe emplovers have refuse? to paV the American union scale of wages. The cost of living In Jamaica Is less than one-half what it is in America. An official census of Berlin and Its suburbs shows that there are in that territory 40,124 persons with out emDlOVment ftt the nresonl iima Of this number only 1,716 are wo men. The figures do not Include pensioners, Dut they comprise 1,1)38 others who enjoy small fixed income. The Bmall number nf nnmnnlrwn.1 women Is due to the great demand ior domestic servants.
