CAMPBELL PROTEST
MUST Be HEARD
Court Orders Secretary Of State to
Act in Initiated Bill Case.

Oklahoma City, June 12.-The SUI
preme court today granted Campbell
Russell the writ of mandamus which
he asked to compel Secretary of State
Ben F. harrison TO grant an imme-
date hearing on the protests against
his initiated bill to change the method
of selecting the state board of agricul-
ture.
The court holds that in the statute
which provides that the secretary will
hear testimony and arguments for and
against the suiiiciency of such petit
ton, the word will" means Shall"
and is mandatory, and being addressed
to a public officer, excludes the idea
of dissension on his part. The secre-
tary is given a certain amount of lati-
tude, however. by that portion of the
courts opinion which says that In
contemplation of law this hearing
when begun, is always open until
finally concluded which would allow
continuances after the hearing is once
begun.

Germany and HsIns

Lord Haldane in his recent univer

words OF reproach for Germany con
corning her treatment OF Heine. He
pointed out that Germany In the end
of the eighteenth and the beginning OF
the nineteenth century had her Eliza
bethan age. so far as literature and
philosophy were concerned.
How much poorer would the whole
world be but for this period of Ger,
man life, in which she for the time
outstripped every other country! Yet
even then she INDUCED In tendencies
which needed correction, and IL she
had listened to Heinrich Heine they
might have been corrected and the
outlook enlarged And now the re-
vanche was in progress, much as
Heine predicted, and, looking at the
German railway bookstalls he could
see that the spirit Of Paris was ad-
vancing on Berlin. 1t need not have
been so, and it should not have been
SO, and Heine told of better way.
Had his counsel been listened to there
would have been no Nietzsche period

half to two inches, but in every sec.
tion it was the heaviest of the past
month. The value of the moisture in
saving the crops of this portion of the
state is almost inestimable.
Corn, oats and wheat were bene
fitted most but alfalfa kafr and cot
ton will be helped. In no section were
the crops suffering to a decided ex
tent but the moisture assures that the
ground will not become too hard OF
dry in the immediate future.
Wind and some hail accompanied
the rain in various vicinities but nc
damage was reported except at David

were blown down. The rain had not

Guide to Glacier National Park.

The principal points of interest in
the newest of the great reservations
that are maintained by the govern
ment for the benefit of the people are
described in circular entitled Gen
eral Information Regarding Glacier
National Park, just issued by the de-
partment of the interior. This park
is situated in northern Montana, $50
miles northwest of Yellowstone Park
in an air line and 447 miles by rail-
road. 1t is under the control and su-
lperyision of the secretary of the iits
terror, who is represented in the ac-
tnal administration of the park by a
superintendent, assisted by number
of park rangers who patrol the reser-
vation.
The park is bounded on the north
by the Canadian line, on the east by
the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, and
on the west and south by the Flathead
river 1t has an area of about $4,000
acres and derives its name from many
glaciers which are scattered through
out its area There are about 80
glaciers between five square miles and
a few acres in area. The park is a
rugged mountainous region and CON
tains over $50 lakes which are sur
rounded by steep and beautifully
wooded mountains
A road has been built from Belton
to the foot of Lake Mcdonald, a dis
tance of miles. Beyond Lake Nc
Donald trails extend into the greater
portion of the park A number of
trips may be made from Lake Nc
Donald in one day One of these is to
Avalanche Lake, a charming body Of
water which is surrounded by great
cliffs and into which the melting snow
pours cascades looking in the distance
like threads of silver. Another inter
esting trip affordng fine views of
lake, mountain, and forest is to the
west of Lake McDonld to Trout Lake,
situated in one of the most impress
sive glacial cirques Still another
trip is over the steep slopes Of Mount
Brown to Sperry Glacier where camp
has been established for the occomo-
dation of the traveller One may con-
tinue from Sperry Glacier over Gun
sight Pass amidst the finest of noun
tain scenery to Upper st. Marys Lake
and thence to Midvale on the rail
road.
This circular, which may be OBJ
tanned on application to the depart
ment of the interior, contains informa-
ton regarding the hotels and camps,
tourist map of the park, list OF
magazine articles, and the rules and
regulations promulgated for the gov
ernment of the reservation.
