A Great international Park.

The Ottawa Evening Journal, editorially
upon a measure pending be
fore the Congress of the United States,
said, in its issue Of the 26th instant:
The proposal for an international park and
game reserve along the Alborta-Montana boundary
Of Canada United States, although held up in the
United States Senate. Is one that is said 10 meet
with approval in Washington. Canada ought and
probably viii do It's part toward the proposed in
ternational reserve. The land involved. while not
good for settlement. is rich in birds and game of
many kinds. TIE few remaining mountain sheep
outside the main f.yskies are found here, the only
glaciers il the United States and Southern Canada
are in JBis area.
Canada viii welcome the proposed international
park and do its share towards its establishment and
protection"
Some 5000 square miles along the back
bone of the continent in the two coun-
tries would form this international park.
according to the cooperative plan pro-
posed. It is a magnificent project. and
general approval at Ottawa, as well as
at Washington. is but natural
The area on the American side of
the dividing line contains the only
glaciers within the United States. and
there are innUmerable water falls and
majestic bluffs thousands Of feet in eIe-
walton. Senator Carter said the area in
cludes the only remaining American
habitat OF the mountain sheep. and he
urged that It should be preserved for the
protection Of that animal. Canada is
also actuated by desire TO protect its
own wild game. The American portion
of the proposed park embraces the head
waters Of the Flathead River and lies
along the main range Of the Rocky Noun
tains. south of the International line. II
is about sixty by forty miles in extent.
Possibly there may be valid objections
to the measure creating this great park.
but they are not apparent and the project
itself seems worthy of support and IA
vorable action.

SsHa So TO-DAY IN HISTORY

The Monitor Launched-January 60

This is the day of the Yankee cheese
box on a raft" II is only forty-fve years
ago to-day that the little ironclsd Moni-
ton was launched at Greenpo.nt. I. l.,
and as to just how important an event
this was, the pages of the civil war tell,
and in the most glowing language. A
short time later this little ironclad was
able 10 digpell all the doubts and distrusts
that had arisen in the minds of the people
regarding the possibility and PRACTICABLE
ity of such an invention, and it had a
most wholesome effect in giving inspira-
ton TO the failing hearts Of the North.
The Monitor was launched just 100 days
after its keel was laid Ericsson. the in
ventor, gave it it's name In letter to
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Fox,
Ericsson wrote; ITO the lords of the ad-
miralty the new craft will be a monitor,
suggesting doubts as to the prOpriety of
completing those four steel-clad ships at
s3500,OC0 apiece. On these and many SINH
lar grounds. I propose to name the new
battery the Monitor
The idea Of such little war craft was
suggested to Ericsson nearly half a cen
fury before, by observing the motions Of
the lumber RATS on the lakes in sweden.
When the war broke out between the
northern empire and the Franco-Anglican
Alliance, Ericsson sent the plan of q
monitor. in 1854 toe the Emperor Of the
French. Napoleon was not much impress

A severe looking woman moved up TO
the window al the Citizens Savings and
Trust Company with a small check 10 be

identified and she suggested that he call
up the man who had drawn the check and
have him describe her.
The teller decided TO take the chance,
and called the man on the phone at his
elbow.

word over the phone. wait. I'll describe
her 10 you and you can see If it's the

PstrOnage-A HOOsier's Tale of Woe.

With important national problems press
ing for attention. and a multiplicity OF
public duties that cannot be evaded or
delayed bearing heavily upon him, Presi-
dent Taft, alke all his predecessors. is
daily beset with the opportunities of
place-seekers.
Patronage, patronage patronage-that
is the thipg most trying in the Presidents
daily life. He must have the patience of
Job 10 endure it all, and in time he will
come TO abhor. il ne does not already, the
whole patronage business
These observations are prompted by
careful perusal Of an account OF the re-
cent visit TO the White House Of ex-Gov.
Durbin. of Indiana, who unfolded a tale
Of woe distressing in the extreme. He
came all the way to Washington to tell
it hrst-hand TO the President in all its
painful details and narrowing ramifca-
tions, and urge upon him 10 intervene,
and intervene forthwith and thus save
the party from the demnition bnw-wows.
OF course. everybody understands that
a campaign in one form or another, goes
on forever in the HOosier state. You
may talk about political peace out there,
but there is no political peace, and can
be none Tee state is not built that way
It was so long the pivot upon which the
political destinies OF the nation hinged
that it acquired the habit Of keeping
eternally busy In politics and could not
now curb its activities if it tried.
But Gov. Durbin's plant. his White
House tale OF woe. is the subject under
consideration Indiana. he said. was in
danger Of going Democratic this fall
The signs were unpropltious and becom-
ing more so. Everything was drifting TO
the bad; the situation all but hopeless
Whyo Was it revolt against Cannonism
unrest caused by high prices, dissatis-
faction with the new tariff law, disgust
over the BaIinger-PinchOt row, or dis
approval Of the course Of the admlnistra-
tiono No; none Of these things consti-
tuted a material menace 10 party sue
cess. They would have only an incense
quental bearing upon the November out
come at most. The trouble was, and the
governor minced no words In disclosing
H. that the Offices were not being dis
ribUted rightly. Beveridge was not toting
fair with the other leaders. He was
making mistakes in giving post-off1ce
plums. deputy collectorship usufruct, and
minor spoils TO individuals who had not
earned such rewards. If it be not
stopped. the administration must be pre-
pared for the worst.
And that is what is the matter with the
Grand Old Party in Indiana,
/ We submit the case to the reader
own appraisement. Far be it from our
desire TO NEEDLE in it or take sides. We
summarize it only for the purpose OF
/ illustration-to throw a sidelight on Mt
Taft's daily life and emphasize the trials
and fluctuations involved in being Presl-
dent of these United States.

Theodore Parker, in his speech deliv-
cred at the anti-slavery convention Of
Nav %, 1880, said:

The battle is to the strong and the race

motto of the republic? Is this low
standard all that life holds that is worth
working for?
Everywhere We turn We find these
questions answered, unhappily in the af-
frmauve. To get ahead, to be little
bigger, a little stronger. little more
powerful than your neighbor; that is the
idea, with never a thought for those who
are worsted in the fight.
