That is true. But unfortunately there
is no chance of securing absolute
harmony in any party of any size. If
a party has as many as two mem

WOMEN s BRAINS
ARE SMALL

Probably no one has made as ex-
haustive study OF the comparative
sizes Of mems and women's brains
as DR. Reese, OF Berlin, who has
taken the facial and skull measure
ments of 10000 persons, including
$4,000 school boys and girls. In his
observations were included Germans.
Swedes, Danes, Dutch, Bohemians
and Swiss
II has written report OF his de-
auctions for German popular health
publication in which he gives the
advantage TO men and boys from
every point of view. Boys have
bigger brain capacity than girls, he
says in a degree which cannot be
accounted fer on the general ground
of better physical development In
fact he confirms conclusions reach
ed by other students that from the
ninth year to the close OF school age
girls on the average are better nour-
ished and developed than boys. The
brains of well grown girls, however.
remain inferior In size TO those OF
physically backward boys In the
full grown woman the skull and the
brain remain on a childish plane OF
development
The fact that schoolgirls often
seem to reach better results than
boys, that their natural accomplish
ments seem greater, he accounts for
by the fact that they reach maturity,
the degree OF perfection OF which
they are capable sooner than boys.
But the girl stops there, while the
boy goes on for years developing and
acquiring and only reaches his fun
power OF utilization years later
When he does so. however, he has
far surpassed the level to which the
girl attained In other words, his
mental growth as compared with the
woman's is not unlike the develop
ment OF his physical strength.
DR.. Reese adds that, OF course, his
deductions apply only to normal or
average cases. He thinks the diff
ference in the sexes is due to the
fact that the principal duty Of wo-
man Is motherhood, and nature can
not AFFORD to waste on her either
physical or mental powers which are
not essential TO that function. New

was made. He states an agent was
sent out to Houston from Milwaukee
TO straighten out q lot Of tar mattersH
The assessment had been made to
different persons and the whole mat
ter had become involved In confusion.
When he consulted q Houston lawyer
about the best method Of procedure,
the latter at orce suggested that they
go over to the mayors Office and ak
1t. As that method was not familiar
to the agent, he asked il it would not
be wise to get some of the leading
business men intereted SO the matter
could be pushed through the council.
He was very much surprised to hear
that pull" was no longer factor

They went to the office Of the may
or whore the tangle was Strengthened
out in preliminary way in very
short time. Later, when other mem
bers of the council came in, they
went over the matter and formally
adopted the plan. What would have re
quired weeks or months under the old
scheme of government was thus ac-
complished in day. 1t was a pure
ly question of business and was dis
posed Of just as board OF directors
would handle a question of similar
character. Our new charter in Boise
gives us a form Of government ap

go quite far enough. 1t does Ak the
responsibility and confer authority,
and the result will be far better gov
eminent. The men whom we have
elected will do their duty; they will
meet the responsibility placed upon
them, and the way will be opened for
permanent reform in our methods
of administration. The Statesman
feels that, when this administration
shall have closed, 1t will be felt 1t is
an honor to serve the city and that il
will continue to be possible to get
our hest men to enter its service.

ON 1.-THE TEXAS IDEA"

:, the last issue Of the Outlook
10 is most interesting article on
s '.rbe Texas Idea'' in city govern
- 90 It has been worked out by
:. city of Houston, following the
ample of Galveston. 1t is one OF
80 hest that has appeared on the sub
;act making the advantages of the
10 system so plain that the merit Of

,ootnres are stated in a most lucid
manner by the author. The central

Ia responsible and then give them the
nower necessary to bring about efHc-
;epcy. says the Idaho Statesman.
in Houston there are four council
man and a mayor. The latter assigns
zach of the councilmen to direct
charge of one of the four departments
into which the government is divided.
Each looks after the department com.
mitted to his care and is given all
the authority needed to effect results.
Economies have been introduced, be-,
cause there is no longer a ''pull" to
involve the city in needless expendi
nre. AS the councilmen are respon-
sible to the entire city for all its
parts, there is no unnecessary expen-
diture brought about through the
system of trading that existed when
each ward had its representation.
They can go straight to the root Of
any question, because there is no
tedious delay through reference to
committees and putting forth Of in
Auence through representatives Of
wards.
Every man is held responsible and
be takes pride ID doing his work
we'll. d1ce-holding is regarded as
an honor, and the system is working
most satisfactorily. There is no OPP
portunity for promise without perfor-
nance; each knows he must "make
good" and the people get just what
is promised them and as much more
as can be accomplished. Better SER
vice is given and at reduced most.
Granting of franchises is surround
ed with special restrictions, it being
provided that, on petition Of 500 vot-
ers, the council must call a special
election to pass upon any such grant.
The government is carried on just
as a board of directors conduct the
affairs of private corporation.
In introducing his story of thC
working Of the system in that city,
the author narrtes an incident illus

of conducting business now and thai
