SEVENTH ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF American Civic Association Opens,
Wednesday, at Washington.

Washington, Dec. 13-With President
Taft as one of the speakers and with
Secretary Fisher of the interior depart
ment presiding. the American Civic
Association, which began its seventh an
nual convention here. today, heard, to-
night. the annual address of its presl-
dent, j Horace Mcfarland, urging the
creation of a national bureau of nation
al parks. Mr.. Mcfarland advocated gov
eminent control of all land containing
great natural phenomena and declared
that "a nation that can afford a Pan
anna canal cannot afford dry Niagara. -"
President Taft had sent word, early
in the evening, that he was not feeling
will and would be unable to address the
convention, so that when he appeared
the delegates gave him warm recep-
ton. The President declared he was in
hearty sympathy with the efforts by the
association to establish government
bureau TO take over the supervision of
the national parks. He referred to OBJ
servations he had made on his recent
trip in the West and agreed that some
such centralized authority was necessa-
~ for the proper conduct of the ma
tional Fairgrounds. Other speakers
we're sotnOot OF tldil, WHO us
eussed the value of national parks to the
West; Enos A. Mills of Colorado who
described animal life in national parks.
and Herbert w. Gleason of Boston.
President Mcfarland said the trans
mutation of the forested district lying
between Washington and Baltimore into
the Lincoln Memorial National Park
would be a more fitting tribute To the
great liberator than a more commercial,
highway. The United States leads the
world in the extent of her national and
municipal parks, he said. and it is only
by thee establishment of a federal park
bureau that the nation can hope to pre-
serve for all time the beauty and health
| fuiness of these spots

call from the constitution az they
were obliged TO do in order to gain
statehood they showed that the recall
