President Roosevelt to Investigate this great subject. I am sura the report of that commission - will be of Inestimable value not only to our farming population, but to our -whole people; for If there Is anyone Interest Jhat comes closer then any other to the people It Is that of educational, social and flnanotal condition In their relation ship to the farmer. New Br ia Natloa. I believe we are reaching a new era In our development aa a nation. We are the most altrulstlo people In the world. In a spirit of altruism we went Into Cuba In IBM ta free those Islands from the hateful and hurtful Spanish rule. We poured our money and our best blood Into this task. The ultimate outcome will, 1 am sure, be to our benefit, aa are most altrulstlo move ments. Now, I have no word ot criticism aa to what we have done In the past, but It seem to me that the question uppermost In the. minds of the people at thia time Is the necessity for Improved farm conditions from a national standpoint. I believe that some measure that will have an Increas ingly greater tendency to keep the boys and girls upon the farms will not only tend to tmprore farm conditions, but will be a matter of national defense. I am thor oughly convinced that ultimately we mus'. depond to a lane degree upa the man of the farm In case of war, this seeming to be the natural environment for the pro duction of that sturdy determination and that development of manhood, coupled with the capacity for doing things, that is so essential when men are thrown upon their own responsibilities. . I look upon the improvement of our farm conditions aa a war measure, going so fat In this belief that I ran aee no reason Whj the government and the several state! should not loin hand In hand In brlnalns to a successful consummation the work that W hope will be outl ned by the com mission appointed by 1'resldent Roosevelt.

Brooks of Wyoming waa greeted with three time three from a bunch f cattlemen when he had been Introduced, ' He made a genuinely eloquent address upon the potential. ties of his state, particularly In an agricultural way. "In Wyoming all the farmer has to do Is sit on the fence and watch things grow." Thla. was one Striking sentence. Another waa, "In Wyo mlng we have learned that Irrigation is ' not a good substitute for rain, but that " rain la a very, poor substitute for Irriga tion."

Ho referred to the exhibit hi state ha mad and It may be said in passing that the Wyoming exhibit I on of tho best. Quality and quantity both considered, of all at the exposition. In closing, Governor Brooks extended an Invitation to all Omaha to com to th dry farming congress which will be held In his state in February. Ambassador's So) Iiak-Itah Boy. An Interested spectator of the exercises was a youth who looked at first glanoe a 1 typical specimen of the - American collago 1 tudent of about th junior year. This waa Salvador Creel, son of Baron Creel, Mexi can ambassador at Wash.ngton, and In h third year at Ames. He did look the typi cal 'rah-' rah boy, slouch hat ot felt, with what George Ade oneo described a "en circled by a tdy," trousers with a broad reef at th nether extremities, low shoes, fastened by broad brass buckles, and suit ot a rich tropical green. Mr. ' Creel sat with Senor Goroipe and Oses. These Mexican delegate mis no speeches at th exposition for they are her to learn and will achieve their aim for that matter. Benor Foex was also present, sitting on the platform with President Wattle and the governors. In the afternoon, company after company of handsomely uniformed young women oc cupied the (tag of the exposition audi torium competing for the cash price which have been hung up, and for the satisfac tion of beating th other girl. 'The men drill thl evening. Expoaltloa Warmlag U. Th exposition Is growing better every day. The attendance waa far larger Batur day morning than on previous days and the general air ahows more active life although the first three days were far from tame. The large audience of Saturday morning waa highly gratifying for It la good that the vlsltihg governor should have been heard by a larg number. Mr. Sheldon. Mrs. Brook. Mrs. Carat and Mr. Wright wer entertained by Mrs. Brands! and Mrs. Wattle at luncheon a' the Omaha club and than to a box at the Boyd to ee "A Doll's House." President Wattle entertained 'the governor at the am club at luncheon. OTCSBTSXET'I XMOTIOKB MIXED. "It 1 glorious to wlni" sighed J. B.

IMPLY WOMDERri'L, IAYS GARST .- Cora ExaeMiltlea Strike lew Gov traer aa Magatareat. "I cannot conceive of anything more beneficial or from which the farmer (and the farmer la the man- who rule the world) can learn more and profit more. than thla National Corn exposition now being held in Omaha. I knew th expo ltlon would be a big affair, because I have kept In rather close touch from th very Inocption, but even I wae surprised when I visited the show for th first time yeeterday afternoon." Thla la th meaaag of Governor Garat of Iowa, who spent Friday afternoon and Saturday In Omaha, a gucet of the di rector of th National Corn exposition. Whan seen at th Omaha club yesterday afternoon h waa bubbling over with en thualaaro. . . "Even the casual observer cannot fall to learn something at the exposition, but th man who. really want to learn and make hi land yield him a larger Income not do better than to spend or longer at that exposition. Why, If the farmers of Nebraska would grow their oats as thofO on display were grown the profit to them would be ten time greater than what thl exposition cost the people of Omaha and the UnKed Btatea. And the natural Interests tributary to Omaha would b benefited fifty time If the farmer of the territory would visit the ahow, see what others' have done, take tho advantage of fered and go homo and do likewise.

CONFERENCES HELD Power of Speaker to Determine Who I to Be Recognised to Be Abolished Committee to Be Called Weekly. I wish that every man, woman and child a my atate could aee It and would grasp haye th c0mmltt99 on ruie, elected WASHINGTON, Dec. li.-One of th first thing agreed upon by the member of th Hepburn rule revision committee In the house was a plan to make the right for amendment at th present cession. Th work was started at once by conference between member of th committee and Rpoakur Cannon and Representative Wil liam, former minority loader, a well a between the committee and other Indi vidual amoig th element favoring re vision of the rule. Word waa spread by a majority of th committee, which con slat of Representatives Hepburn of Iowa, Hays of California, Townsend of Michigan, Cooper of Wisconsin and Foster of Ver mont, that th amendment would be con servative. A practical disapproval waa announced on such change a the selec tion of a steering committee of the house to appoint the committee and the proposal the excellent lesson taught by tho almple I hjr th houi exhibits there. '"The man who owns land valued at Ilia an acre will receive a fair profit from It If hi land yield him fifty bushel an acre and he sella it for GO cents a bushel. Th man who own land valued at KO an acre will receive a fair profit from It If it yields thirty-seven and one-half bushel an acre and sells for GO cents a bushel. But the man who own land valued at $175 an acre will lose money it it yields him but thirty-seven and one-half bushels of SO-cent corn. "Figure It out for yourself and you will see that I am right. The Interest on the 1171 land will be 18.75 and the labor $3.60, making a total of $13.25. Fifty bushel of corn at GO cent would bring $26, leaving $13. T5 net. The Interest on th $60 land will be $3.50 and th labor $3.50, making a total ot $& Thlrtyvaeven and one-half bushel of corn at 50 centa would bring $1S.7G, leaving $13.75 net. Exactly th same, you see. But If your land Is worth more or If the yield I leas, you will lose money, "With the rise In the value of land there must be a consequent rise in the value of product. Where 1 there a business that can increase It earning SO per cent with out Increasing Us expenaesT But Mr. Funk here by breeding corn and getting a better grade Increased his yield from fifty to alxty-flv buahels an acre and when a man has tuO acre of land planted to corn that amount to something." Governor Garat left th middle ot the afternoon for Council Bluff to Inspect the state Institution for feebled minded and from there he expected to go on to hi horn at Ie Molne. The governor said that politics are passe In Iowa now and that there la not a doubt but that Albert Q. Cummin will be re-elected by the leg lalature thl winter for th Jong tiro In th VnlUd State acuta, Nameroaa Conferences Held. Th outcome of the Individual confer ence with the speaker Is a:d to hav been an - understanding that the entire committee will lay before the speaker alter next Tuesday' night conference on the rule the amendments that may be agreed upon. It I understood that the committee will ask to be authorized to agree to com promise that the speaker might suggest It desirable. The members who talked with the speaker today assured him that they were his friends and that they wished to avail themselves of hi suggestions. Re publican Floor Leader Payne and Repre sentative Dalxell will be consulted by the committee. Th committee of "reformers" Of the rule are practically united on the Hep burn amendment, which would require the speaker a in duty bound to recognla th first person upon whom hi eye fall. In stead of allowing him to arrangs at the beginning of th day a program, designat ing -member who shall be given the pri vilege of the floor throughout the day. Regular Call of Committees. Other amendments that appeal to the committee are to require the call of com mittee once a week ao that all bill on tht "union" and the house calendar may be reached In due time and to enlarge the committee on rules, though leaving It to the speaker to select the member. The democrat are being Interviewed to ascer tain If they will consent to th commit tee being composed exclusively of republi can. Recognizing that a rule committee of fifteen would be cumbersome and dif ficult to get together In emergencies the special committee desire to limit th membership to nine republicans. A It haa been the reputed practice to Invite In the democratic member of the committee on rule only after the republican have decided on a course of action, it la being urged that the minority representation It a farce. Among the reason assigned for making the fight on the rules at this session are that a number of the so-called "refcrmers" will hot be members of the next congress; that even a losing fight thl session will strengthen the "reformers" next session, and that the new members are always loath to take Issue with the loader of the house on the first day of a congress, when a fight would com If postponed until next session. The democrat are remaining quiet, tak ing little part In the discussion. Th "re former" claim that th house leader will be surprised at their strength at their meeting next Tuesday night, which will be open meeting to all who desire lo amend tho rulea.

The defeat of county option at the late election ha not dampened the ardor of the supporters of the movement In the least, aa I noticeable by the action of the Fed eration Council of Christian Churchea of the atate, which met In session here this week, and among other thing started the movement looking to another vote on tho option measure. The new bill Is much shorter than the one that was voted on In November, and many of the restrictive Ideas have been eliminated from the new bill, which was framed by the member of the federation. The Initiative and refer endum will be Invoked on the new propo sition, consequently It will not need th sanction of the state legislature.
