A TOUGH TIME.
The editress regrets the necess
ity of making excuses; but tin
Liberal is not not interesting as we
would like to make it for the rea
son that the attention of vo scribe
has been required around the bi d
side of sick ones.

what it might be worse.”
We just keep hoping that nt !
some time in the near future they
will all be well again.

Beware of Tommie.
Wasn’t it Tom Watson that sup
ported Hoke Smith in his first race
far governor? And wasn't it Tom
Watson that said in the columns!
of his paper, the Jeffersononian,
after the legislature had ad journed
“That Hoke, Smith had done well,
no man could have done better.”
This same Watson used the col
umns of his paper regularly de-L
nouncing Hoke in his last race for',
governor. Wasn’t it tins sane 1
Tom Watson that stumped the
United States for Bryan m his first
race for president. And this is
-the same Tom Watson that is de -
nouncing Bryan on every stump
he has been on so far. Beware of
Tommie, l.e stingetb like a serpent.

PRESIDENT WOULD HELP,'
FARMERS OF AMERICA. !‘
i
Proposes to Improve'Social, Suni- 1
tarv and Econo lie Conditions.
I
Oyster Buy Aug 10. —With a 1
view to bringing about better so- '
cial, sanitary and economic condi
tions on American farms, President 1
Roosevelt las requested five ex- 1
ports on country life to make an
investigation into the whole mat- ’
■
ter and to report to bin for rec- '
I i
ommedatioi’s for improvements.
The reports and recommenda
tions, with any additional recom
mendations which the president
himself may desire to make, will 1
be inejporated in a message which '
i
: the president will send to congress
: probably early next year.
| The mi n President Roosevelt ‘
has asked toactasuu ujvc.Jigat’ng
committee are brofessor L. 11. 1
Bailey, of the W-w Y’ork C.gLgoj
of Agricultuic; Henry Wallace, of
Wallace's Farmer, Des Moines,
Iowa; President Kenyon L. But
terfield, of the Massachusetts Ag
riculture Colb-g ; Gifford Pinchot,
of the: United Slates forest reserve,
and Walter 11. Page, editor of tin;
World’s Work Now York. i
In r letter to Prof. Bailey ask ng!
him to afcc-pt the chairmanship of
the commission, the president out-'
lines his desires i i the direction of
j improvements on the farms.
Nation Depends on Farmers.
“No nation,” he says, ‘has ever
i achieved permanent greatness un
less this greutnesf was bused on the j
well-being of thogreat farmer class
| the men who live on the soil, for
■it is upon their welfare, material
; and moral, that the welfare of the
illation ultimately rests.
In the United States, disregard
ing certain sections and taking the
nation as a whole, I believe it to
be true that .tlie farmers in general
are better off today than they ever
were before. We Americans are
velopm. nt of our agricultural re
sources, but it is equally true that!
the social uudvuuiiomm institij, tons!
lof the open country ar k nc '
ARLi’Wf
i s 1
is, as a rule, belter off than his
for<J>cai§. tut h’i.s increase i<uwell
being has not kept pace with that
of the country as a whole. While
the condition of the farmers iu
some of our best farming regions
| leaves little to be desired, wo uro
far from having reached so high a
level in all parte of the country.”
Help 30,009 in South.
“In portions of the south for ex- (
ample, where the department of '
agriculture, thru the farmers co
operation, demonstration work, ■
thru the direction of Dr. Knapp, ’
is instructing more than 30,000
farmers in scientific farming, there
is nevertheless much unnecessary
suffering and needless loss of effi
ciency on the f irm.
A physician, woo is also a care
ful student cf farm life in the
south, writtug to mo recently about (
the enormous percentage of p*e- •
ven table deaths of children due to
unsanitary conditions of certain
southern farms said:
“Persoaliy, from tin l health
point of view, I would prefer to
see my own daughter, 9 years old.
at work in a cutton mill than have
her live as tenant on the average
southern tenant one-horse farm.
This apparently extreme statement
is based upon actual life amoug
both classes of people.”
Wives and Daughters of
Farmers
“It is especially important that .
whatever will prepare children for !
the farm life, and whatever will '
t
brighten the home life and make i
it more pleasurable tor the moth- ,
ers, wives and daughters of farm
ers, should be dene promptly, ;
thoroughly and gladly. Tasre in q
no more important person, n <-n 3 . |
ui\ d ia influence, upoa the life ct I
.the nation, than the warmers wife'
or more important home then the
country home, an.l i. is cf national
importance to do the best we can '
for both.
i
The farmers have hitherto had ;
less than their full share of public
attention along the lines of busi
ness and social life. There is too 1
much belief among all our people
that the prizes of life lie away
from the farm.
I’m, therefore, anxious to bring
before the people of the United
States the question of securing
better business nnd-betler living on
the farm,whether by co-operation
between those, buying, soiling and
borrowing, by promoting social
advantages and opportunities it;
<1 r
the country, or by any other legi
timate moans that will htlp to ,
make country life more attractive
and add to the pleasures and re- »
wards of the men, women and .
children of the farms.”
