ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

c ONE SOCIETY WOMEN of Dallas,
- Tex, have succeeded recently in
making themselves extremely ridicu-
lous. Besides, they have been guilty
of breach of good manners which no
one had right TO expect from south
ern women. Not long ago fair was
organized in Dallas for the purpose of
aiding a local charity. Those in. charge
of it wrote to Mrs. Roosevelt and to
Mrs Jefferson. Davis, asking them to
contribute gifts that could be sold at
the fair.
Both responded promptly with hand
kerchiefs. Mrs. Davis sent a work Of
art, with her monogram embroidered
in one corner. Mrs. Roosevelt sent
what is described as "a snitchy little
three-for-a quarter cotton handkerchief
that no lady would use" The gift from
Mrs. Davis was received joyfully, the
gift from Mrs. Roosevelt with jeers. An
indignation meeting was held immedi-
ately and, after a spirited discussion,
it was decided to return to the first
lady" her handkerchief.
! OF course Mrs. Roosevelt's feelings
will be terribly hurt by the action of
her Texas sisters. She will undoubt-
eddy mourn as one without hope of
comfort. The flag on the White House
will be ordered placed at half-mast,
! and everybody who goes there will be
expected to speak in whispers for a
period of not less than thirty days. 1t
is likely that all festivities planned for
= r..
will be abandoned while the Capital
City mourns with it's stricken society
leader
Seriously. 1t is difficult to understand
what the Texas women hope to gain
/ by their action. Mrs. Roosevelt will
assuredly not send fine lace hand
kerchief to replace the one that has
been rejected. nor will she lose a wink
of sleep over the matter. The stand
/ taken by the Dallas women is in such
deplorably bad taste that one wonders
how they could be guilty of it.
Mrs. Roosevelt did not volunteer her
contribution. She was asked to send
something TO the Dallas fair, just as
she is asked times without number to
contribute to other fairs throughout
the country The handkerchief she
forwarded may or may not have had
intrinsic value. 1t is entirely propable
that it was not worth much money,
because a longer purse than that pos
sessed by the president would be re-
quired If Mrs. Roosevelt responded
handsomely to every request.
The value of her gifts lies in the
sentiment that surrounds them, but the
Texas, danes evidently don't look at
the matter in that light. They are the
| losers, however, not Mrs. Roosevelt.
but we can't help wondering if they
would have returned a cheap hand
kerehief to Mrs. Davis had she sent
them one.

WASTE OF PUBLIC MONEY.

NOES ANYBODY outside OF congress
~ stop TO think how much money is
wasted by the government of the
United States every year? Congress
doesn't consider the matter very often,
but occasionally some member, con-
science-stricken. calls attention to it.
Then there is a small furry of econo-
my. which is soon lost sight of in the
business of legislation, and before the
fact it realized the old extravaganza is
resumed.
Recently Representative Gillett of
Massachusetts discussed the subject of
printing and the expense involved in
putting out government reports in
which very small proportion of the
population is interested. AS sample,
he cited the report of the boundary
commission upon the boundary between
the United States and Mexico.
TT is beautiful album, containing
nothing but a series of photographs, -
he said, large photographs on hand
some paper, making an elegant book.
When you come to look at it you find
that the first picture is of boundary
stone marked No. 1, and the next is
boundary stone marked No. 3, and so
it goes till the last, where we find
boundary stone marked No. 25S. There
is a separate photograph Of each one
of these boundary stones between the
United States and Mexico.
They have tried to make this inter-
esting by putting in the mountains in
the background. sometimes in one di-
rection. sometimes in another.
They tried to make variety. but the
whole collection is simply a series of
pictures of boundary stones. They
might just as well have gotten up a
series of pictures of the milestones
along the Pennsylvania railroad or the
gravestone5 at Arlington cemetery,
decorated by an artist with a few ac-
companying objects. It must have cost
thousands Of dollars to make simply
the Photographic plates for this publ
kcation''
And the money was worse than
wasted. Not one thousandth of the
people of the country will ever see this
boundary stone parade, and those who
do see it will hardly be interested. Mr..
Gillett cited a number of other govern
ment publications equally expensive
and equally useless. Then, by way of
showing that his heart is in the right
place, he took up the Congressional
Record and handled it without gloves.
The Record is probably the most ex-
pensive periodical published in the
world. and the least closely read.
Speeches appear in the Record that
congress never heard, thousands of
pages of dry statistics are interpolated
in remarks by senators and representa-
tives. So uninteresting are many of
these tables that it is hard to believe
the men in whose speeches they appear
have read them carefully. Mr.. Gillett's
plea for reform should not go I'M
Needed.

Ar IRRIeATIoM MODEL.

THE PROPOSITION to place, as a
part of the Utah display at the ST.
Louis exposition next year, a working
model of an irrigated farm, is one that
will commend itself to nearly all the
people of the state. Accompanying the
proposition is the suggestion that the
exhibit be made ready in time for ex
hfbition at Ogden during the sessions
of the National Irrigation congress in
that city next September. It is not
specially important that this be done,
for the reason that most of the mem
bers of the congress are practical irri-
gationists and the model would be no
novelty to men who are familiar with
the real thing.
Still, there is no objection to INSTALL
ing the exhibit temporarily in the june
ton City if the people down there are
willing to pay a fair proportion of the
cost. It is proposed to have an actual
reproduction, on diminutive scale of
course, Of reservoirs. dams, weirs,
bitches and gates, together with flow
ing water and growing crops and fruit
trees. The locks and gates may be
made of onyx, quarried in Utah, and
other material may be used which will
show the diversified industries of the
state.
The only rational objection to the
exhibit is found in it's cost, which will
be in the neighborhood of $4,000. The
bill now pending before the legislature
for an appropriation for the st. Louis
exposition sets aside only $4,000 for
all purposes. And right here it may
be said that $4,000 is a very generous
amount for "a state of Utah's resources
to contribute, even to so worthy a
cause The amount is ample and it
should not be increased.
To spend one-fifth of it on a single
exhibit seems like a good deal, but
there is much to be said in favor Of
the plan. Utah has been justly called
the mother of irrigation in the United
States. The pioneers who began the
development of the state were the first
Americans to divert water from its
natural courses and. turn it upon the
barren fields in order that the latter
might yield harvests. To Utah, more
than to any other source, the credit for
the passage of the national irrigation
law is due.
Now for Utah to show the people Of
the east and south and from all quar-
tiers of the earth who will gather at
ST. Louis just what irrigation is, seems
eminently proper. Many of them are
inimical to national support of frriga-
ton. This is largely because they do
not understand it's possibilities. With
a working model, such as is proposed,
they win be able to learn more in an
hour through actual observation than
they could learn in months of reading.
If it is impracticable to spend one
nth OF the appropriation on the plan.
The Herald believes it would be sound
business sense for the citizens to raise
the necessary money through private
subscriptions.
