NLAcIER NATIONAL PARK,
Two MEDICINE LAKE.

~ LACIER NATIONAL PARK, @ like other show" parts of v America, benefited by the war MA during the summer of 1915 and
 was visited by many thousands of persons who before had scarcely heard of it. It has been national park since 1910, but, in a period of ut ter public indifference to the glories of American scenery, it has passed al- most unnoticed. Now that America has suddenly become aware that she possesses the most superb accessible scenery in the world, Glacier is des- tined to rapid recognition as the one real Switzerland of America. It is in northwestern Montana, close to the Canadian border line.
 The park derives it's name from it's 60 glaciers; but there are more than 90, all told, if one classes as glaciers many interesting snow patches of only few acres each, which, nevertheless, exhibit all the characteristics of true glaciers. It's scenery is stri.ingly Al pine, yet it possesses individuality to a high degree. In ruggedness and sheer grandeur it probably surpasses the Alps, while geologically it is mark edly different.
 It strongly differentiates also from other mountain scenery in America. Ice-clad Rainier, mysterious Crater lake, spouting Yellowstone, exquisite Yosemite, beautiful Sequoia-to each of these and to all other of our na- tional parks Glacier offers highly in- dividual contrast.
 Region of Remarkable Beauty.
 To define Glacier National park, picture to yourself two approaching chains of vast tumbled mountains which pass the Continental divide back and forth between them in worm

and by beautiful timbered slopes lead ing down by graceful curves to the bottom of deep valleys. Scores Of lakes are unsurpassed in sheer beauty by any even of Italy and Switzerland. There are more than 250 lakes in all
 Nor is this scenic wonderland mere ly a sample of the neighborhood. North of the park the Canadian noun tains rapidly lose their scenic interest South and west there is little of great CT interest than the mountains com monly crossed in a transcontinental journey. To the east lie the plains. This region appears not to have been visited by white men before 1853, when A. w. Tinkham, a government engineer exploring route for Pa cific railroad, ascended NyaxG creek by mistake and retraced his steps, when he discovered the impractica- bility for railroad purposes of the country he had penetrated

Has Washington Thought Of It?

The mysterious fire that destroyed the great
grain elevator of the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road and a vast amount of grain consigned to
the allies, raises delicate question At any
hour of the day there may be roaming the
streets Of Norfolk, Va, dozen or SO Of Ser
man sailors from the interned warships at New
port News. They apparently under sort
of surveillance by the United States authorities.
Yet who are better fitted than these sailors
to execute the little tilbustcring schemes for de-
stroying by arson and otherwise, property de-
stned for the use OF the allies. Elsewhere men
must be scduccd for the purpose; these men have
only to be commanded. Nor, may be sure,
would they lay their hands more reluctantly to
the task because it happens to have a fine crim
inal flavor
1t is not at all likely that the destruction of
the grain elevator will be traced to its proper
source. The United States authorities at the
present moment do not appear to be seeing any
more of this kind of thing than what is thrust upon
them But those interested may we'll be excused
if they put forward an earnest request that the
United States intern its distinguished German
guests in some remote spot where their propinquity
cannot be suspected of generating tendency to
spontaneous combustion among supplies destined
for the use of Germany's enemies.

President, Not Public, Must Act.

Frequently announcements have been sent from
Washington to the effect that President Wilson
is displeased with certain stories purporting to
define his attitude regarding or policies.
Yet, more frequently, the unchallcnged assertion
goes forth that the President will not adopt GER
tain obvious policies until a pronounced public
demand for them is manifest. We have yet to
hear of any rcproof from the White House for
the authors of this latter class of stories. But
surely they inaccurate. The first Democratic
President nauguratcd since 1896 does not regard
himself as subject to the initiative, referendum
and recall. He does not consider himself mes
sengcr commissioned more than two years ago
10 carry out what then might have been the will
of the people, without regard to changed cond-
tions. For instance, President Wilson is repre-
scented as waiting to ascertain the will of the
people before handing Ambassador Dumba his
passports. He need not wait. When Mr.. Wilson
was elected by a minority of the American people
no such case as that Of the Ambassador of Aus
tria- Hungary in sight. A President was elect
ed to deal with just such questions-not receiver
Tor public opinion. President Wilson knows the
circumstances; the people expect him to act. They
do not expect him to wait to ascertain the desires
or opinions of those not SO we'll informed.

DOUBT, THE TRAITOR.
BY ORIsON SWEET MARDEN.

Our worst enemies are not outside
but inside of us. Every human being
harbors 4 traitor who is always on

traitor is doubt. The man or woman n
who is not strong enough to resist
the insidious attacks will never do
what he or she is capable of doing.
and was sent into the world by the
Creator TO do.
Doubt is responsible for more sui
cides. more failures, more misery.
more bankrupt lives than any other
one thing. 1t makes more people afraid
to begin, afraid to start out on a
course they know they ought to pur-
sue. than any other human enemy.
Standing right at the gateway of our
choice. at the parting of the ways,
when we have fully resolved to tahs
the path that is best for us. hard
and forbiddinG one compared with
the easy way along the line of least
resistance, doubt calls Il halt. 1t bida
us pause and think once more, asks
us to look again at the rugged path
we have chosen and consider whether
we really want to take that turning,
when the other is SO much brighter
and pleasanter and SO very much
easier.

We are creatures of habit, and tho

large portion of the American people will
hope that the commander OF the United States

them temporarily out OF commission A naval

THE new Continental Congress
proved a notable assembiy-more.
notable than the Congress Oh lnf'
for It's business was not protest put tne
reconstruction of a government. anu u
proved equal to the task.
A certain very noticeable anxiety al
tended the opening of Its sessions.
The delegates came very slowly ana
tardily in. A full week had gone pS
after the day set for convening oeIore
SO many as seven States were repre-
sented. The delegates from New hamp-
shire were two months late In arriving.
1t was evident at first that the mem
bers were nervous and set about their
work of conference and debate with
touch of reluctance and Apprehension.
They knew that their business was
critically important. 1t might be that
the breaking up Of their Union. or its
consolidation, the setting in or the happy
and final preclusion Of civil war. would
follow upon the completion OF thelr
labors.
Affairs. and opinion, too. hung at a
perilous poise, and might easily DC
turned this way or that by their success
or failure.
They gathered confidence. however. as
they got hold of their task and gained
knowledge of one another.
There were fifty-fve delegates In at
tendance at last; every State except
Rhode Island had sent commissioners.
Many OF the more famous figures or
the revolutionary time were missing.
Samuel Adams had declared himself cp-
POSED to "a general revision of the Con-
federation"
John Adams was in England. Jefrer-
son was in France. Patrick Henry de-
clined to attend.
The men who had organized the Con-
tinental Congress and the Congress of
the Confederation had in large part given
place to others.
Younger men had come forward. and
were speaking with authority; men like
James Madison. of Virginia. who was
but just turned of thirty-six. and Alex
ander Hamilton, of New York. who was
only thirty.
The Washington herald., 1915-09-08

But older men were there also. and 1t
was reassuring to find how carefully the
States had picked their representatives.
Robert Norris was there, the expert
enced financier Of the rev. luton: Roger
Sherman was there. whose practical
good sense had steadied the early coun-
sells Of the Continental Congress: and
John Rutledge. whom South Carolina
had made a sort Of dictator In her al
fairs while the revolution held: and Ben
jamin Franklin. in his eighty-second
year.
Virginia had sent seasoned Jurists past
middle life. like John Blair. who mad
been president OF her council. and
George Wythe. who had drafted her pro-
test against the Stamp Act: and had add
ed George Mason. her best type Of con-
servative country gentleman. and General
Washington, as Of course, as well as
handsome Edmund Randolph and stu
dious Mr.. Madison. still in their thirties.
Every days debates gave strength and
confidence to the counsels Of the con-
ference.
There were many sharp differences Of
opinion among >its members; but they
held together. and a sound practical sa-
gacity prevailed.
Leadership among them fell to Mad
ison. whose quiet suggestions always
smacked Of moderation and Of real
knowledge Of the subject in hand: to
James Wilson. OF Pennsylvania, whose
shrewd Scots sense and thorough knowl-
edge of Iaw-the law of nations and of
governmental structure as well as the
law every lawyer could talk of.-ena bled
him to clarity and strengthen every topic
he touched: to Roger Sherman. of Con-
necticut. rugged. practical. hard-headed:
to DIR. Franklin, who could utter the
mellow wisdom Of age, a:-d utter 1t in
sentences men could remember: to Gou
verneur Morris or Rufus King. who
knew how to cast propositions for a vote.
to the men who could think steadily
and see things whole. or who could strike
out practicable lines of definitsp action.
