Horace Mcfarland at the session OF
the convention last night.
IF Niagara is to be further picked
at, pared away, skinned. curtailed,
filed in, improved said Mr.. McFar-
land: IF the rapids above and the
rapids below are to be changed INTO
mill ponds. if the whole spectacle is to
be continued as that of helpless
natural wonder. the people will keep
quiet and permit the continuance OF
the present process.
IF, on the contrary. the people OF
America want to keep faith with the
whole world. and to save for themselves
and that world what is left OIL the one
greatest and most accessible natural
wonder of the western hemisphere, they
will make their will known promptly
and with such definiteness upon the
Congress. in order to bring about the
enactment of such laws and the pro-
motion of such treaty will at least
stop the desecration where it is.
Plans tor Campaign.
Richard B. Watrous, secretary of the
American Civic Association, outlined
plans for nation wide campaign Tor

parks under national park service to
be authorized by Congress. be out
lined a bill presented to Congress by
Representative Kent which PROVIDES
for the creation of such service
Mr. Watrous explained that the gov
ernment owns fourteen national parks
with Il total area of nearly o,ooo'Voo
acres. all under the jurisdiction OF the
Department OF the Interior, ana thlrty
one national monuments. OF Whlch
nineteen are in the Department of the
Interior. ten in the Department OF
Agriculture and two in the war De-
partment. Under existing arrange
ments there has been no central or
ganization for the administration OF
these splendid national recreatonal
possessions.
The bill introduced by Representative
Kent provides for a director of ma
tional parks to be appointed by the
Secretary of the Interior and such as
sistants and employees as are needed TO
properly care for the parks.
Parks Decrease Crime.
"A park in a congested section of
city has been shown to decrease crime
in that section said Mrs. John Dickin-
son sherman. chairman of the conserva-
ton committee of the General Fedora
ton of Women's Clubs. Thus does ma
ture furnish an antidote to her abuses.
In speaking on The Needs of Ma
tional Parks Gilbert H. Grosvenor, di-
rector of the National Geographic So
ciety. said:
Americans should go to see their own
parks. They are better than anything
in Switzerland. Americans have built
up the magnficent accommodations
that are to be found in the vicinity of
the great scenery of Europe by the mil
lions they spend abroad every year. If
they would do their spending in
America for a while there would be
equal ommodations here to go with
the far superior and less spoiled
scenery"
