Editorial Comment

begin. Congress could hardly hold il.
self responsible for the successful con.
duet of reclamation projects, no more
than IL would for the skillful compile.
ton OF bridge or waterway project
by the war department. Tnere are no
expert engineers in congress qualified
to pass judgment on such work, and
the criticism of members who felt
sighted in being neglected in the dis.
tribution Of the reclamation fund
would serve TO further embarrass the
situation.
According to the act Of congress
creating this service, all the money
appropriated for this purpose must be
paid back TO the government, and TO
10 this settlers ON irrigated lands are
required To pay an annual rental for
water rights. Now tne secretary Of
the interior is responsible not only for
the successful completion Of all irri.
CATION projects, but he almost must
see that this money is returned to the
federal treasury. Congress undoubi
edly. as with the Rivers aud Harbors
and the Public Buildings bills, would
be glad to see that future reclamation
funds were passed around in accord
ance 10 its own idea of equable dis.
tribution To congressional districts.
but u is extremely doubtful IL the
members of either body would dare TO
pledge Themselves to the country TO
fulfill the obligations imposed by the
hw ON the secretary of the interior
and Director Newell.

LITERARY CLUB MEETINGS
By MYRTLE MILES.

The City Beautiful, whose motto is The Public Good, Health and Happiness" is- sued the following suggestions yesterday for the growth of taller training nasturi- tiums:
 Growing and blooming in greatest pro- fusion even in the poorest soils, they are of strong, vigorous growth, throwing out rl ming shoots which can be trained upon strings or wires, or can be readily made to climb the ordinary paling fence or wire n, tting. They are also extremely showy as trailing plants when set around bor- ders of vases or ornamental boxes on the lawr, and can be effectively planted at the top of steep slope and allowed to ran down the bank. They are equally b -Artiful simply trailing on level ground. Seed should be planted thinly when trees are starting out in leaf. When well start ed young plants should be transplanted or thinned out to stand six or more inches apart Seed should be covered one inch fin depth and if at all dry the soil should be firmly pressed above the seed, so as to enter closely the corrugations."

Brooks of the Louis vile and Nashville is in the city and a crew of men is expected here at any time to begin the work of preparing the site for the new passenger station.

Tn this day of horseless carriages, milkless milk, wifeless matrimony and other modern improvements the tele- phone takes it's stand along with tn @ up-to-date conveniences, without which no home or business office can manage to exist.
 Bn a group of women few days since I came upon one who was say ing:
 "of all the national blessings the telephone is, in my opinion, the bless edest."
 Whereupon the snippy little hostess of the interesting group exclaimed: National blessings indeedl I should say national curse"
 "Oh for heavens sake not so loud. The telephone companies might acci- dentally hear you, and they'd have you arrested for libel. and think how dread ful that would be-"
 Tt sounds very bad, but it's my opin- ion just the same"
 "Why on earth do you feel that way about the telephone?' meekly in quired, having heard the preceding conversation, seeing a perfectly good opportunity for an interview on the subject.
 Simply because it's nuisance" was the quick response.
 Well. why don't you have it taken out?" l asked.
 Simply because I can't do without it," was the peevish answer. Now you just watch, while we are sitting here this afternoon for a quiet little chat the horrid thing will ring at least 20 times. Ten of these times will be for MT. Blanks residence. who is on our line. Five will be wrong number The remaining five will include probably four people inquiring about cooks and maids I have discharged, and probably one out of the entire lot will be some one I want to talk to. And then to- morrow I will meet at least a dozen people who will say; T tried all yes- terday afternoon to get you over the phone. I wanted you to play bridge, or go to the matinee. but your phone was busy Now isn't that enough to provoke saint? Call that national blessing if you want to-
 "But still you wouldn't be without phone for the world, would you? Now ''fess up.'" I coaxed.
 "Of course not. It is just as bad as living in a house without plano, or posting a letter without a stamp" was the answer.
 GOT course one is often worried by it." went on, "but to paraphrase MT. Patrick Henry, Give me the telephone or give me death."
 Don't you think it generates imper- tinence?" said the anti-telephone lady.
 i've never had any such grievance against it," I said.
 Well, I have" she responded pet tishly. People will ask you things over the phone that they wouldn't dream of asking to your face. For instance woman rang me up over the phone few days ago and this is what hap pened;
 "Ting -aling- g-aling-aling."
 "Hello,' I answered.
 "Is that you Amer
 "Yes. How do you dor
 "'Fine, thank you. Oh Anne, just rang you to ask you to let me have your new frock you have just got from New York. I want my dressmaker to see it so she can get some idea of how to make mine.
 "Well, that was nerve" I exclaimed, wondering how even the telephone could be responsible for such thing.
 Why yes" continued this spunky It. tie woman. People will ask you any thing over the phone. I had woman to ring me up not long ago about
