TAFT AND THE LADIES.

Sioux City Tribune: The pres!-
dents address to the girl students at
Bryn Mawr was very sensible and
proper presentation of the subject Of
Higher Education for Women"
1t will help to Offset some of his
less sincere and more frivolous
speeches to the women during the
campaign and on his trip through
the south. where he complimented
the southern women on traits that
are not particularly commendable.
The old fashioned way of compli-
menting women on their personal at
tractiveness is not as popular with
women as it used to be. In these
days of general progressiveness wo
men are also progressing, and they
are not wanting to be jollied and
joshed and complimented on their
good looks as If they were twitter
ing, unideaed butterflies OF fashion
and frivolity.
The new woman and the true wo
man is making an impression on hei
kind and they are not wanting tc
be treated as if they were incapable
of understanding the intellectual
and practical serious things that gr
to make up real life.

NEW YELLOWSTONE GEYSER
SPROUTS ICE COLD WATER

Helena, Mont. June S.-The most
remarkable and puzzling of all the
natural phenomenons in the Yellow
stane national park was recently dis
covered by Winter Keeper Bunson OF
Norris station 1t is geyser which
plays regularly every "a hours ana
throws stream 1875 feet high, but
the water is ice cold, instead OF
boiling hot.
Charles Bowers. agent for the
Yellowstone Monida company
vouches for entire truth of the story.
1t is called the Valentine.
The usually accepted theory OF
geyser activity seems to have re-
ceived a shock by the discovery OF
this freak. 1t has been the accep',
ed hypothesis of geyser formation
that subterranean waters coming IN
contact with lime and certain chem
/ icals generate heat and pressure o.
steam, which, seeking vent, cause:
the eruption. This theory fails t
account for the Valentines peculia
action.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS GO
ny POLITICAL pull,
Treasury Officials Want Some Def
mite Plan Worked Out for the
Distribution Of buildings.

Washington, D. c., June As
kisses go by favor, SO public build
ings go by pull:
That is the opinion of treasury de-
partment officials and they have pre-
pared statistics to sustain their posi-
ton.
What is more, they are trying to
formulate plan by means OF which
senatorial and congressional inftu-
epce will not be the only reason TO"
the expenditure of public moneys in
the construction OF government
buildings. They think that such ap
preparations should be based upon
the practical necessities of the case
.ather than upon the possible num-
Der of votes which the securing OF
the building may bring to the mem
Der who introduced the bill.
Just as there is now an effort TO
bring the river and harbor appro'
rriations out of the dominion OF
politi s. and systematic them SO as
to bring the best and most LASTING
effects for the commerce OF coun-
try. so should there be, in their
opinion, a well defined program gov
ecDing the erection of postoffices and
court houses in the different states.
The department has not progress
ed far in outlining its proposed
plan, nor is there any promise that u
it had the members OF Congress
would willingly forego their annual
or biennial scramble over this
pork barrel
1t is the opinion OF the treasury
officials. however. that something
more than the population or wealth
of a town should be taken into con
sideration when passing upon the
question as to whether it is entitled
to a public building.
Other things that should be con
! si0ered, according TO the treasury
men. the that the character OF tha
busine. transacted in each place and

THUS a manurac' uring town. or one
in which there is a thriving revenu
producing business, ought to take
precedence over a staid, quiet resi-
dental town or suburb, even though
the latter can show prepondenanc5
of wealth.
Still another item is the question
of illiteracy in community. 1t beipe
