DR.. l'elter says too much education
hurts women. What the doctor means
is that education is not sufficiently de-
versitied. Less practice on the guitar
and more with the dish towel would
create a balance. And both are edu-
cative processes.
Are we going to have a one man
power in the politics of Iowa? Guess
not.-Ames Times.
Does this indicate that the Times
refuses further obedience to Mr..
Blythe?

him. We are disappointed in Taft.
In Methuselah's Time-kind Old
Lady-What ails the baby? He looks
healthy. I'm sure.
The Nurse-Oh he is. the little dear!
But he's peevish today on account of

CAS- result of being Il small and
continuous body the senate has be-
come luxurious club" writes William
Everett in the February Atlantic. "Ev-
cry member has chance to know ev-
cry other; the whole temper is that
of good fellowship, and If any senator
fails to fall into this club temper and
tone. he must be a queer stick. But
pleasant as this tendency is for the
members it is hardly so good for the
country as a less sociable temper
would be. Many things are passed in
the senate. and more things are passed
by against all public interests, not by
virtue of logrolling, or mutual job
berry, but from a habitual practice of
obliging and not annoying ones coll
leagues" The writer traces the lack
of rules in the senate and the general
informality resulting therefrom, back
to Vice President Calhoun who, among
his many hair-splitting interpretations
of the constitution, seemed to think he
was in the chair to preserve decorum,
but not parliamentary order.
In "The Progress of the World" Re-
view of Reviews for February, the ed
itor considers Gov. Higgins message
at some length, especially that part
relating to the protection of Niagara
falls. He remarks that more than
twenty years ago the state OF New
York sought to redeem the falls from
vandalism by restoring the surround
ing scenery to it's primeval beauty and
creating a state reservation as a free
groud for the people. He |!
proceeds to show how the granting O..
rights to electric power companies to
water above the falls is now |
to destroy the cataract al |
together. He declares that the work Of
protection cannot be effective without
an international agreement, inasmueh |
as the Nigagar river is the boundary
line between this country and Canada. |
But he advises the forfeiture of unde-
veloped water grants and the strict
of existing laws. Ger
tainly," says the editor, 1.-The time has
come when the government at Wash
ington should take up the question of
Niagara preservation with which ener-
gy.'
