Switzerland in America
Glacier National Park

Glacier National Park is in North
western Montana. 1t is the most talk
ed about region in the country to-day.
1t seems to be the one place most de-
sired by Summer Tourists who delight
in the outdoor life.
It's curious thing how one can be
induced to visit Switzerland. beautiful
as 1t is, before exploring the wonders
of Glacier National Park, and particu-
larly is this so as that luxurious train
the Oriental Limited" takes one
through from Chicago to the Glacier
Park without change.
Within the Park comfortable quar-
ters are to be had at Glacier Park Hotel
and elsewhere; and the Glaciers. the
lofty mountains, the crystal lakes
filled with gamey trout: the atmos-
phere of bigness ruling everywhere,
are wonders never to be forgotten.
Those in charge of Glacier Park have
seen to 1t that the cost of visiting and
living there is not excessive, and I
would like to send you some of our
illustrated booklets which tell you all
about it, and about the cost of going
there and seeing all there is to see.
II you will send me your address, /
will gladly send you copies free OF
charge. and answer any questions about
the Park that you may wish to ask

PROF. sHAMBaUGHs PLAN

ROFESSOR SHAMBAUGH'S first
- announcement as superintendent
i of the Dauphin county schools
shows that he has an eye to the
practical in public education. He pro-
poses to obtain the aid of State Col
lege for the introduction of domestic
science throughout the grades. Pro-
fessor Shambaugh says he has tried
the experiment in the schools of Wi
conisco and has found that it gives
excellent results.
In this respect it is interesting to
note a recent article in the Telegraph
calling attention to the accomplish
ments Of Highspire pupils along this
line. The work in that borough COM
pares very favorably with that of the
larger cities.
What has been done so successfully
In sporadic instances upon the initia-
tive of the individual teacher ought to
be successful when applied in a uni
form manner to the whole county.
Professor Shambaugh's plan will no
doubt add much to the efficiency of the
educational system of the district un-
der his superintendency.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S REVERSAL
IN ARLINGTON MATTER JIBED

Angus McSween, the Washington
correspondent of the Philadelphia
North American, in a dispatch to that
newspaper says:
"All Washington Is laughing at
President Wilson, and the laughter is
indicative more of derision and ridi-
cule than of cheerful mirth.
The Presidents participation in the
Memorial Day exercises of the Grand
Army after declining positively to be
present. and then accepting when he
had learned of the possible political
effect of his declination, is regarded
here as one of the most absurd rever-
sails that the President has yet COM
mitted.
In general opinion the absurdity is
increased by the effort upon the part
of the Presidents representatives to
make 1t appear that he changed his
mind before he learned that Speaker
Champ Clark had accepted the invi-

issued to the effect that con-
spirators are at work to discredit the
small men with whom the President
has surrounded himself, and the ar
bitrary occupant of the White House
himself permits his imagination to get
the better of his Judgment.
Now the White House wireless is
busy with a story, according to a
Washington observer, that there is a
conspiracy to magnify Roosevelt and
minimize Wilson, and the Administra-
ton shouters are also worried over
Champ Clark and the Arlington Incl

Then comes the conspiracy stories

the big business giants, the Panama

ton conspiracies-the little games to
discredit the men not in sympathy
with the President, the failure to give
Congress full information on impor-
tant matters requiring action by the
lawmaking branch, and the very ac-
tive conspiracy against business. But,

Public Ledger from Washington:
The President protests that there
is no such thing; that the present
business depression is merely a
state of mind; that there is no sub.

the country should not he in the

his work of reconstruction, deaf to
the representations and entreaties
of great bodies of business men
that the very foundations of our
business prosperity are threatened
by the radical measures that have
been proposed with the Presidents
approval in Congress. The Presi-

moderately and soberly now than to
wait until more radical forces had

when It has been shown that there

SENATOR'S BORAH's VIEWS

One of the most interesting and sig
nificant comments on the Roosevelt
statement was by Senator Borah, of
Idaho, whose name is frequently men
toned for the Republican nomination
in 1916. Senator Borah was an active
supporter of Colonel Roosevelt for the
Republican nomination at the Chicago
convention in 1912. but declined to fol-
low him into the Bull Moose party

usual vigor and decisiveness the fight
for Republican policies and principles
The logic of his statement is that there
must be united action in order to re-
lieve the country from conditions he
describes and terminate the policies
which he criticises.. l am exceedingly
pleased to see him in the fight

only one construction is placed
upon the Presidents action here. 1t
is that he decided to go to Arlington
only after he had been told that his
absence would have a bad political eff
feet and after he had learned that
Speaker Clark had seized upon the
opportunity presented and was dis
posed to make the most of it.
THE old soldiers say that the Presi-
dent made his Arlington speech not
for them, but for his own purposes.
The bitterness and adverse criticism
the President aroused is to be kept
alive by the fight started against the
removal of old soldiers from places
held by them under the government.
A mass meeting is to be held to-mor-
row night to take action respecting

~ UR philosophical President con-
tinues to PROFOUND his psy-
~ Geological profundities.
Following his solemn pro-
nouncement of last week to the effect
that the industrial depression of the
country is all matter OF mental view
point we are told that the present
unsatisfactory condition of business is
less felt in the United States than in
any other part of the world"
In other words, business men every
where are all afflicted with kind of
psychological jimjams," only those of
this country have the disease in less
violent form. 'Tis a malady past the
potent effects of vaccination to pre-
vent, apparently.
But the cure is so simple! Belief in
the President! Confidence in the Ad-
ministration! That will do the trick.
Just believe that business is going to
be good and it will oe good. Shut
your eyes to the fact that a Demo-
cratic tariff has flooded the country
with cheaply made foreign goods and
robbed you of your market. Forget
that the railroads are being held in
doubt as to what the government in
tends to do with them. Disregard the
fact that a Democratic Congress is
bent on experiments in commercial
vivisection with the business of the
nation on the operating table. Just be-
lieve in Wilson-that's all-and, To-
the silent wheels will commence to
turn, the smokeless chimneys to roll
forth clouds and the dollars will be-
gin to rattle into the empty till like
rain drops in A summer storm.
