The main headings of the map are
the rural, urban and suburban. The
two latter classifications have to do
with thocte other fields which the com
mission iuteiuls to survey only when
they euter the domain of the farmer
and have an intimate bearing on his
life. When the commissioners have
completed a study of nil the things
s

mapped out as follows: Land supply,
organisation, communication, corpora
tion, control, education and labor sup

Each of these subdivisions has nu
other subdivisions and those

tila rteftor Is lost In a labyrinth of

The first subdivision In the "in­
dividual." The commission will In
quire into the different types of farm
ers, their health, their stature, their
t,JR v' strength, their habits und their intelll*
fence. After that facts as to their
V^A*^ housing, their outbnildlugs, their diet,
the food produced and the food pur
chased, their water supply, whether
well or atream their clothing and tho
care thagr take of their children will bo
inquire^ Into.
The second outgrowth of "organiza
tion" is the community. The eomtnis
slon wants to know about the public
institutions, the schools, the civic halls,
the hospitals, the cemeteries of the
farmers, the extent of co-operation
among them for profits or mutual bet
terment and the efforts made for so
clal letterment. A third subdivision Is
"homestead." under which falls tho
}. household, the garden, tho kitchen, the
|j|Wn«, the orchards, the hothouses and
attempts at ornamentation. Lastly
tmder this head the word "farm" Is
used, and here there is an intricate
network of radiation on the map. Oho

which abound in books of heraldry,
full of ramifications, perplexlngly com

ment's study wonderfully simple. It
illnstmtes bow the work of commis
sions has been systematized under tho
Roosevelt administration and particu
larly under the export hand of Mr.

portion coiitrnl, Is In tn \nv ways the
mosf iiiiporf.-int on »bc map, ami It is
the one which promises the hardest
work for tho commission. It Involves
the extent to which the farmer is In
tho grip of the trusts, and the com mis
Flon will endeavor to ascertain In what
way local and general monopolies gov
ern freight, express, stock and refrig
erator car charges and in what degree
corporate combinations affect the prices
of raw products, the output of cream
eries and the cost of farm Implements.
"Hducutlon" Is not the least of the
headings In its ramifications. The
commission, if the map Is followed,
will look into the primary and ad
vanced education on the farm. Under
"primary" arc fdund "rudiments," "na
ture teaching" and "manual training."
Tho commission will discover where
the farmer gets the rudiments of his
training, how much nature teaches
him and presumably report on the man
ual training. The farmer's "advanced
education" will be dealt with by in
quiring Into the number of college bred
farmers or whether they attended the
normal or agricultural schools. "Short
courses, correspondence, bulletins,
home meetings, readings, itinerant
readings, lectures, farmers' Institutes
and social clubs" will also receive con
sideration.
In considering the last subdivision,
"labor supply," the commission will
deal with "locality," "character."
"cost" and "immigration." It will look
up the quality und quantity of labor In
different localities, the character,
whether skilled or unskilled the scale
of wages nad the cost of living, the
parentage of the immigrant and the
percentage that goes to the farm, Its
effectiveness and productiveness. Child
labor Is also a subject to lie studied,
and the map contains many other sug
gestions which may le followed, com
pleting the most elaborate undertaking
ever attempted by a commission.
LABOB XH DEMOCRATIC STATES.
Coal Miners In Alabama Subjugated
Into Cringing Dependencies.
That there's a "rift within the lute"
of the Gornpers proposition to deliver
the labor vote of the country to Dem
ocracy is becoming more apparent.
While Mr. Bryan and Mr. Oompers are
making special appeals to labor, neither
refers to the deplorable condition of
laber In the Democratic South. Mr.
John P. White, for six years president
of the Iowa United Mine Workers, and
now one of the national officers of tho
United Mine Workers' Asoclatlon, who
Investigated mining labor conditions in
the South, Is not so reticent. In a re
cent address to Local Union No. 97 of
Aibla, Iowi, he told of persecutions of
tabor In Alabama where a coal miners'
strike was In progress. He Is reported
as saying "The miners of Alabama
have been subjugated until a majority
have become cringing dependencies. Al
most dally some of the laboring men of
that Ktate were mercilessly shot down
for daring to assert their rights as
American citizens. Ninety-one members
of the Mine Workers' Association were
thrown into jail without havieg com
mitted any crime other than becoming
members of the organisation." Ala
bama is a State absolutely tmder con
trol of Bryan Democracy.

President of Democratic Business
Men's League Had Accused Repub
licans of Demanding $500 Apiece
From Wall 8treet Men and He Now
Proposes to Submit His Evidence to
a Nonpartisan Committee.
New York, Oct. 19.—"If Treasurer
Sheldon of the Republican national
committee will appoint a commlltee of
three or four respectable men who ex
pect nothing from politics I will ap
pear before them and prove that the
committee is demanding $500 apiece
from Wall street men," said Nathan
Straus of the Democratic Business
Men's league. This was Mr. Straus'
reply to a statement, from Mr. Sheldon
declaring that the charge made'by Mr.
8traus that the Republican national
committee is assessing Wall street
men $500 each was a falsehood. "You
don't suppose I would have made any
such statement unless 1 knew it to be
true, do you?" Mr. Straus asked. And
he continued:
"Mr. Sheldon's reply that mjr charge
is a lie is no argument. I won't say
how much he has collected, but I am
reedy and able to prove the specific
Incident.
"In the last presidential campaign,
when Judge Parker told about cam
paign funds and told of how (hey were
hoing collected by the Republicans,
Mr. Roosevelt declared that the state
ment was false, though it was true
nevertheless. I believe at that time
Mr. Roosevelt did think that Judfio
Parker's statements were false, but
this man Sheldon knows he is telling
a lie."
The statement of Mr. Straus was
repeated to Mr. Sheldon, who said:
"1 don't think Mr. Straus would
make lhat statement to me. I have
no reply ether than this to make oy
er pt to ask how It could be possible
for anybody to go Into Wall street or
any other street to make a levy."'
Chairman Hitchcock, who was pres
ent when Mr. Sheldon made his reply,
said that when the list, of Republican
contributions is published, ns it will
bt twenty days after election, it will
refute all of the statements that have
boon made In regard to the political
levies Or contributions.
FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.
Unusual Effort to Be Made at Coming
Session of Congress.
Buffalo, N, Y., Oct. 10.—That an un
usual effort will be made this year to
obtain from congress some recogni

ciation here and there was a round
tr.ble conference on the subject,

work."
Aside from the regular sessions of
the national association prominent fig
ures in woman's educational work or
ganized a branch to he known as the
College Suffrage association.
At the forenoon session of the na
