The perspective of this cum is mission really Involves the entire so dtd structure, but the farmer's por 1Mb to by far the most heavily empha- SUM and Is to receive the main consid oration. 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 1 which may be lucluded undor the term "ifcral" they will, if time allows, make a cursory study of the thousand nub that come under the oilier head S, aays a Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune. Uixni the X'* tlime "rural" the map lias much to V 'fV My. Its travels almost defy descrlp tfcm, bat the first generalization is mapped out as follows: Land supply, organisation, communication, corpora tion, control, education and labor sup ply. Each of these subdivisions has nu other subdivisions and those mbdlviatons other subdivisions until tila rteftor Is lost In a labyrinth of •jnatamatic classification. From the •ikdtvlaions of "land supply" one is to discover that the commission to discover the kind and quan tity of the land now being tilled In the country to obtain Information ns tetto location, quality, price, fiu'illties, and tenures how much is public. Si*, much private, how much Is rent al and leased, the rates of renting and the terms of acquisition, the ag&Mtnt of taxes, the wage paid to tho fljifMk laborer, the acreage of humid, and riparian lands and the amount afid land which Is Irrigated and to dry fanning. disposing of the "land supply" fliap takes Up the question of "or tfon." On this subject the map the vast amount of study which done to bring in every possible ivision which might require atten- 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 O line leads to "Indoor domestic econ ..^omy" and another to "outdoor farm eeonomy." Indoor domestic economy la given three phases—"aesthetic," "in *dl»trlar' and "general." These clasBl ItT' flMttona include house decoration, neo- 4 'l* 1 Of p. Rework, cooking, ^'leaning, fuel, nten v t^ afta. Cost of living, hygleue, sanitation 1^.awfl accounting.

In less than a tnlnutc a visitor to tlio room can discover everything that the commission Is bent on discovering *,5 about the farm and the farmer. v* k The map closely resembles a family t: 1 tree. It Is like one of those creations which abound in books of heraldry, full of ramifications, perplexlngly com plex at first glance, yet ufter n mo 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. Ptechot. To begin with, the student of tlM» map learns that the popular term "firm commission" is a misnomer. It should be the commission on "social Industry," which, as the name signi AM, ,/v 1* a- —'"**'MJ~""* 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."

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 tion of the cause of woman suffrage is certain.
