Mother Of Vice Presidents.

Discussing the candidacy of Fair
banks, one of our esteemed contempo-
raries jocularly referred to Indiana as
"the mother of vice presidents" The
claim is unfounded, for this distinc-
ton belongs to New York. Our state
has been the home of no less than ten
vice presidents: Aaron Burr, George
Clinton, Daniel ID. Tompkins, Martin
Van Buren, Millard Fillmore, William
A. Wheeler, Chester A. Arthur, Levi
p. Morton, Theodore Roosevelt and
James s. Sherman. What is more,
four of them were presidents later
Van Buren, by election, Fillmore and
Arthur to fill accidental vacancies and
Roosevelt to fill vacancy and also
by election. But Indiana can claim
only four vice observation-disclosures
Colfax. Thomas A. Hendricks, Charles
w. Fairbanks and Thomas r. Mar
shall. In the running mate rivalry,
however, Indiana leads New York in
one respect. Since the Civil war she
has furnished three unsuccessful NOM

UUT WITH THE FAULTFINDER!
He Is One Unmitigated Nuisance That
Is Everywhere and Has Ex-
listed Always.

The worlds greatest nuisance is the
faultfinder, for he is conspicuous ev-
erywhere. John A. Sleicher observes
in Leslie's. He does not hide his light
under a bushel nor speak in n whis-
per. His mission is to be seen and
heard.
The Creator in six days made the
universe, and when 1t was finished de-
clared that the work was good. Yet,
since its creation, the world has been
full of faultfinders, who do not think
it Is good enough for them.
The peculiarly of the habitual fault
finder is that he has no reason to find
fault. He disturbs the serenity Of
those who are happy and who would
enjoy peace and contentment but for
him.
Nothing satisfies the faultfinder, and
no era has been free from his tantaliz-
ing presence. The faultfinders eXas-
perated Moses on the mount until he
dashed to pieces the stone tables in
scribed with the first written laws
of God. But the Ten Commandments
remain the law of God and man.
The faultfinder is the bane of the
family circle. He undermines affec-
tion, destroys peace and breeds discon-
tent. He is the fly in the ointment,
the unwelcome intruder. He makes
the task of the genuine refOrmer
more difficult.
He blocks the path of progress. He
cumbers the statutes with unnecessary
and unworkable laws. He dictates de-
structive policies to those in authority
and makes them cover before his vitri-
olic tongue, his poisonous pen and pes
| tiferOuS persistence.
No church has been without its fault
| finders, no social organization no
shop, factory or Office, and no move
ment for the public good is exempt
from his intrusion.
The faultfinder is found everywhere,
scattering the seeds of distrust poi
soning the minds of those who will
listen, marshaling the forces of unrea-
son, casting shadows on the sun. dim
ming the light of the stars, mocking
the hopes of humanity and challenging
the goodness of beneficent Provi-
| dence.
Out with the faultfinder! We have
no room for him.

nationality means for us merely the

amiss to guard the franchise with rea-
sonable solicitude. and to ask some

Rainier,
Ices

The Nlsqually glacier is the most
striking and most celebrated, although
not the largest on Mount Rainier. 1t
is easily reached, as it descends direct
ly south from the snowy summit in Il
long curve, its lower finger reaching
into the parklike glades of wild flow-
ers. From Paradise valley one may
step directly upon it's tissured surface
The Nisqually glacier is five miles
long, and, at Paradise valley, is half
mile wide. Glistening white and
the mountains summit, It's surface
here is soiled with dust and broken
stone and squeezed and rent by ter
rible pressure into fantastic shapes.
Innumerable crevusses, or cracks many
feet deep, break across it, caused by
the more rapid movement of the gla-
cier's middle than its edges; for gla-
ciers, like rivers of water, develop
swifter currents nearer midstream.
Professor lie Comte says that the
movement of Nlsqually glacier in sum
mer averages, mt midstream, about
sixteen inches n day. 1t is fer less at
the margins, It's speed being retarded
by the friction of the sides.
Like all glaciers, the Nisqually gath
ers on Its surface masses of rock, with
which 1t strews its sides, just as rivers
OF water strew their banks with logs
and floating debris. These are called
lateral moraines, or side moraines.
Sometimes glaciers build lateral mo-
raines miles long and over thousand
feet high The Nisqually ice Is more
than thousand feet thick In places.
The rocks which are carried in mid
stream to the end of the glacier and
dropped when the ice melts are called
the terminal moraine. AS the glacier
recedes the terminal moraine stretches
into an ever-lengthening medal mo-
raine.
The end, or snout. Of the glacier thus
always lies among II great mass Of
rocks and stones. The Nisqually river
flows from n cave In the end Of the
Nisqually glnciers snout, for the melt
Ing begins several miles upstream un-
der the glacier. The river is milky
white when 1t first appears, because it
carries sediment and powdered rock,
which, however, 1t soon deposits, be-
coming clear.

Brilliant wild flowers growing luxu-
rinntly among snOw-clad mountains

sights to be seen In one of Uncle Sans
great public plsygrounds-Mount Raj

Mount Rainier is one of number of
extinct volcanoes which rise among
the Cascade mountains in Washington.
Today their fires quenched, these giant
volcanoes suggest to the poetic mind
stalwart band of knights of the ages,
helmeted in snow, armored in ice,
standing at parade upon n carpet pat
termed gOrgeously in wild flowers.
Mount Rainier is easily chief of
this knightly band, giant towering
IA ,40S feet above tidewater in Puget
sound. HOme-bound sailors far at sea
mend their courses from his silver
summit.

and Representative Smith of Idaho
will introduce Thursday bill which
proposes a new plan under which the
principal and interest on bonds issu-
ed by reclamation districts and thus
provide funds for the construction
not only of irrigation but drainage
projects in several states.
Under the bill, when a project is
approved by the secretary of the in
terror, a reclamation district organ
lied under state law may issue bonds
to cover the cost of construction and
these bonds will be deposited in the
treasury. The secretary of the treas
ury will then issue certificates of in
debtedness equal to the amount of the
district bonds filed with him, and
from the sale of these certificates
money will be raised to irrigate OF
drain lands in the approved districts
The work of reclamation is to be
done under the United States recla-
nation service.
The bill contains numerous safe
guards to protect the United States
against loss, and authorizes the for.
fixture Of lands on which payments
are not made, such lands to be re
sold. Public lands embraced in any
such district are to be appraised ant
sold at public auction after the wcrl
of reclamation is completed.
