Perhaps we need legislation on the sub

American literature? The thing TO do
would be to fix time limit AT the end

This seems harsh. but I wonder IL a man

that New York could get on quite we'll

To Conserve Supply.

have directed the withdrawal of mil
lions of acres of lands known to
contain phosphates, to prevent their
acquisition by private capital. The
time will come when American farm
ers will need them. We have no
power to forbid expectation or to
charge duty on exports, but II the
government owns the resources, it
will be possible for the government,
as the lessor, to control the Sroduct." !"
He called attention to the exhaus-
tion OF South Carolina phosphate
lands and said the thing America
needed most was potash. This, he
said he had been told by the head of
the geological survey, might be
found In some of the desert lands.
Taft then narrated the story OF
American contracts for the product
OF phosphate mines in Germany and
the difficulty the department of state
was having in negotiating the deals.
The president wound up his day in
Columbus by shaking hands with the
members or the Buckeye club at their
ball in Memorial hall, after which he
left for Springfield, H., where, his
throat permitting, he will this after

A Strenuous Woman Mayor.

Wellington Kan, has a woman may or. She has a council made up or nve men. There Is war between the mayor and the council. The mayor is herceiy determined to make another woman chief of police. The council thinks that is carrying a joke altogether too far. And the mayor, according to the des- patches, has seized the books of the council, refuses to give them up and will not meet with the counc1lmen. Luckily she does not have to reckon with hostile controller or hostile board of estimate, or an independent public service commission. The coun- cil is her main trouble, and 1t IS trouble enough.
 The strenuous methods of the wom- an mayor form a complete answer to the notion that the sex is united for practical politics. A more vigorous way of meeting practical exigency than the ones she has chosen could not have been suggested by Richard Croker when he was at his best. 1t is as con- elusive as lying down over the last wicket to prevent an opponent from winning st croquet, which is still pop u1ar in Kansas.
 As for the counciimen, we pity them. If they have an idea that the present regime in Wellington is government of laws, not of women, they must think again. The policewoman's club is not to be escaped. All efforts to block the car of progress will be worse than useless,-Brooklyn Eagle.
