The commission to investigate and make a report on the conditions of count rv life and the remedies for the general uplift in such conditions, af ter finishing their investigations have made their report to President lloosevelt, and the President to-day transmitted the report to Congies- with his recommendations. The report is comprehensive and recommends reforms, some of which can be brought about by the Nation al Government, and others which are in the nature of suggestions for the action of the Legislatures in the re spective States. The necessity for good roads is strongly emphasized, and while this work will have to be handled in the States, and often locally, yet the building of a few great national highways by the National Govern ment, not only because they would be most valuable as such highways, but at the same time would be a great object lesson to the States and counties in carrying on similar work within their borders. The condition of the public school system in the various States is also discussed, the remedy for which will lie with the State Legislatures. The reforms which they recom mended which will fall exclusively within the province of the Federal Government, is the parcels post and better means of communication which will probably mean an extension of the rural free delivery. Of course these reforms will be strongly op posed by certain interests. Taft and the Panama Canal. It is understood here that Presi dent-elect Taft has been very much gratified at the progress being made on the Panama Canal, and that with the amending of the project as to somewhat widening of the canal, that the work will be rapidly pushed to! completion.

OOO to Enable Commission to Con tinue Us Work. Washington, Feb. 9. The Presi dent to-day sent to Congress a mes sage transmitting the report of the Country Ufe Commission. After the document had been read in the Sen ate Mr. Heyburn moved that it be printed and lie on the table, and this order was accordingly made. The President's Message. To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: I transmit herewith the report of the Commission on country life. At the outset 1 desire to point out that not a dollar of the public money has ben paid to any commissioner for his work on the Commission. The report shows the general con dition of farming life in the open country, and points out its larger problems; it indicates ways in which the Government, National and State, may show the people how to solve some of these problems; and it sug gests a continuance of the work which the Commission began. Judging by thirty public hearings, to which farmers and farmers' wives from forty States and Territories came, and from 120,000 answers to printed questions sent out by the De partment of Agriculture, the Com mission finds that the general level of country life is high compared with any preceding time or with any oth er land. lf it has in recent years slipped down in some places, it has risen in more places. Its progress has been general, if not uniform. Yet farming does not yield either the profit or the satisfaction that it ought to yeild and may be made to yield. There is discontent in the country, and in places discourage ment. Farmers as a class do not magnify their calling, and the move ment to the towns, though. 1 am happy to say. less than formerly, is still strong. Under our system it is helpful to promote discussion of ways in which the people can help themselves. There arc three main directions in which the farmers can help themselves namely, better farming, better busi ness and better living on the farm. The National Department of Agricul ture, which has rendered services equaled by no other similar depart ment in any other time or place; the State Departments of Agriculture; the State Colleges of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts, especially through their extension work; the State Ag ricultural Experiment Stations; the Farmers' Union; the Grange; the ag ricultural press, and other similar agencies; have all combined to place within the reach of the American farmer an amount and quality of ag ricultural information which, if ap plied, would enable him, over large areas, to double the production of the farm. Commission's Object. The object of the Commission on country life, therefore, is not to help the farmer raise better crops, but to call his attention to the opportunities for better business and better living on the farm. If country life is to be come what it should be, and what I believe it ultimately will be one of the most dignified, desirable and sought-after ways of earning a living the farmer must take advantage not only for the agricultural knowl edge which is at his disposal, but of the methods which have raised and continue to raise the standards of liv ing and of intelligence in other call ings. Those Engaged in all other indus trial and commercial callings have found it necessary, under modern economic conditions, to organize themselves for mutual advantage and for the proptection of their own par ticular interests in relation to other interests. Now, whatever the State may do toward improving the practice of ag riculture, it is not within the sphere of any government to reorganize the farmers' business or reconstruct the social life of farming communities. It is, however, quite within its power to use its influence and the machin ery of publicity which it can control for calling public attention to the needs and the facts. For example it is the obvious duty of the Govern ment to call the attention of farmers to the growing monopolization of wa ter power. The farmers above al should have that power, on reason able terms, for cheap transportation. for lighting their homes, and for in numerable uses in the daily tasks on the Tarm. Where Country life Fails. It should be idle t assert tiiat life on the farm occupies as good a position In dignity, desirability and business results as the farmers might v.sily give it if they chose.

Some of Our Orphan Children Vi Projierly Cared l r. Washington Post. ) "The atteiiUcn of the Legislature of North Carolina is called to the fact that little children aie being sent from the rescue homes, ol thai State into other Stales to be brought up as servants without any other supervising ayeni or legal authority than their new inatiiD to look alter them. As .n'lunu they ate bound lor a term ol vears, until their six teenth birthday, and there is. no one to see to their well being and kiudl treatment. '"It is not difficult to imagiue that without some s-pecial legal authority to look out for the welfare of theaw children some ot them might be .sub jected to much suffering and possi bly abiir-e. Not all of tberu art; sure to tall into ii hands ot kindly peo ".'h Slii of North Caroliurt has very rigid laws regarding the guardianship of apprentices taken out of the State, and it would seem that the same sort of watchfulness over the int. rests of orphaned and dependent children ought to be exer cised. Where the immature child is forced to serve strangers and to re ceivy mistreatment without any re dress except through his own initia tive, his condition may approach something little short of slavery. It is probably true that not more than one of these servant children in ten will meet with actual cruelty, but the exception is sufficient to be guarded against. "Pennsylvania has laws protecting orphaned children, apprenticed to masters, from ill treatment, and the State of North Carolina might do well to look into Pennsylvania's laws upon the matter."
