Two things I know more tender
Than spring In Arctic clime,
Than bluebells In November,
Than hnrriea In the rime;
Than laugh of babe In cloister.
Than founts in desert soil,
The Joy of thoBo who suffer,
The rest of those who toil.
Two things I know more sacred
Than blossoms sprung from graves
Than strains of gold or purple
In dopths of glooming naves,
Than shrines In marts of traffic,
Than hymns In battle broil;
The joy of those who suffer,
The rest of those who tojl,

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.

Bft'ore finally adjourning the National Grange adopted a reso
lution declaring that "the products of the foresfc lumber, coal

them there.

A scientist says it's wrong to charge the occasional fatalities
to the X-raya, when they are solely due to carelessness in hand

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

Official geologists say there is coal enough in the United

Maybe so, but what good does that do the man whose bin is

The Northwest football championship having been decided,

Steps should be taken at once to prevent the Michigan post

Evidently if Oresron could sret another trv at those Washinff-

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
