The Galveston Plan.

The recent success of the sea wall
about Galveston. Tex, in withstanding
the Hood that swept in from the gulf
and threatened to destroy the city as
did the famous food OF few years
ago Is not only cause for universal
eongratulation, but rejects in pc
culiar way to the credit of what is
known as the Galveston plan of mu-
nicipal government. This plan created
widespread interest In other cities and
has been Initiated 10 greater or less
degree In some Of the smaller cities
and villages. II consists In taking the
municipal government entirely out Of
politics, abolishing the usual mayor
and council and placing the different
departments OF government each in
the hands of some business man with
complete power and undivided respon.
sibility so far as his own department
Is concerned.
The reason for the sweeping change
was that the stricken city had to Dor
row large sums Of money TO protect
itself from future disasters and want.
ed this money spent with economy and
honesty to accomplish the work in
| hand. From experience. an experience
| unfortunately shared by most Ameri-
can cities. II knew that this would
never to be done under the old system;
that II government by party bosses
and divided responsibility were allow.
ed to remain graft would result. dis.
honest contractors would be given the
work Of building the sea wall and that
there would be CONFUSION aud waste OF
time and money. So the city admins
tration was divided into eve depart
ments. as already stated. and at the
head OF each was placed a man OF
known efficiency and integrity The
result has approved the new system In
striking manner and VIII create still

Pure water from source which Is
located where 1t will be free from
contamination or impurities, Is a
boon to any city worth more than
other resources. For this reason the
committee appointed by the council
to look into the water question has
assumed the most grave and serious
responsibility that can be placed on
public oficials. A number OF sources
OF supply for water have been sug-
gested to the committee, but 1t is
doubtful II one better than Lake
Occur d'Alene can be found. 1t is
a large body OF water from mountain
streams, and government tests dur
ing the warmest weather OF summer
show that the temperature Of the
water at atty feet from the surface
Is AZ degrees FahrenheIt--ten de-
grees above freezing which Is a
good point to remember. While the
supply from the main body OF the
lake may at some time become con-
taminated from the towns along the
ST, Joe and Occur d'Alene rivers, at
present the water Is absolutely pure
and free from deieterioUs matter of
any kind. But should 1t become Inn
pure, we have the Wolf Lodge creek
and Blue creek as the supply for that
part OF the lake known as Wolf
Lodge bay. and here is a supply that
comes from the heart Of a big forest
reserve which viii remain thinly pop
ulated indefinitely. and insures 3

Cleveland Leader: More and more
the democrats OF Ohio are turning to
Governor Judson Harmon as the hope
of their party In the next presidential
campaign. They have confidence that
he Will be nominated II he can go
into the national convention in 1912
with such prestige at home as he pos
sesses today If he can hold his pres
ent Office he can hold the leadership
Of the democratic party in the coun-
try. That is the belief of Ohio dem
ocrats who are active in politics, and
1t Is sound theory. If Judson Har-
mon could be reelected, in President
Taft's own state, in 1910, his posi-
ton in his party would be much more
impressive than that of Governor
Johnson, of Minnesota, or any other
democrat. Harmon would suggest
victory almost as Bryan spells defeat.
And the very sound of the Ohioan' S
name would be attractive to a party
torn by internal strife and eager for
unity and harmonious action. But
no democrat has been elected gov
ernor Of Ohio for second term since

There has been so much adverse
criticism OF the Idaho exhibit at the
Seattle exposition that the board of
horticultural inspection decided to
make an investigation, and appointed
a committee for that purpose. The
committee is composed of two we'll
known citizens of the state, Alexan-
der Mcpherson and H. p Ustick.
These gentlemen visited the exposi-
ton and their report says that the
Idaho exhibit as a whole is very cred
table. There is lack of advertising
literature, which the committee rec
ommends should be remedied at
once. The Kootenai county exhibit
Is commended as being especially
good, as is the miniature irrigation
farm under the direction OF Prof.
French, and the mining exhibit. The
report will be generally accepted as
setting forth the facts, because 1t
criticlses and commends as the case
may justify, and throughout bears
the air of sincerity.

WOMEN SLAVES
TO COOK STOVES
Spend Many Weary Hours
Preparing Dishes Tor Un-
appreCiatiVe Husbands

The average woman who does her own
work and some who have servants are
greater slaves TO their cook stoves than
they imagine. Inherent In every woman
is the desire to have every thing about
her home as nice as she can possibly
make ii.
All this Is admirable. Of course. but
many firing, unnecessary pains are taken
in regard to the preparation Of food that
wear and tear and drag on woman. Ere
duently they go TO the extreme in pre-
pairing many dishes for their home table.
They try TO make things elaborate that
would be just ar attractive, from prac-
tics standpoint, without the trimming"
so to speak. Consequently they arc almost
slaves TO their cook stoves.
Usually a woman does this because she
wants TO please her husband or her father
She does please them. naturally. but they

mind works in channels az it's own. When
