TAKE 4 HIKE WESTWARD
By Frederic ]. Haskin

erner is about submerged in his own
urban existence. Turn him loose in
the woods and he is lost and miser-
able. Give him freedom and he does
not know what to do with it. He
falls heavily back upon the resort no
tel which is very well for women and
children and individuals but surely
reveals a lack of all imagination and
spirit of adventure in youth and man
hood.
So the East has something to learn
from the West, and-this is the nub
of the story-the West is now ready to
teach. Through the Department of
the Interior, ably and enthusiastically
abetted by several large railroads, the
West is inviting the East to come out
and take a look at its great national
parks. There is room for hundreds
of thousands without any crowding.
Scattered from the Canadian border
to Southern California, these national
parks contain the most wonderful va
riety of scenery and wild life to be
found anywhere in the world. Yet
entirely neglected except by people
living within few hundred miles of
them, and occasional adventurous
globe trotters, who have looked and
proclaimed them far more striking
than the Alps and wondered that
they were not better known.
Now the United States government
has determined to make the American
people aware that they possess these
wonderful Fairgrounds. Robert T.
Mather. "a wealthy westerner, has
been placed in charge of the work,
and is pushing it with all the energy
and executive ability of a successful
businessman. And the East is al
ready needing the invitation. More
persons visited the parks last summer
than ever before, and this summer
will see their numbers grow still fur
ther. The West is showing the East
how to go back to the woods.
And the best part of it is that you
can take just as stiff or just as mild a
course as you wish. You may get a
pack horse and a saddle horse and
take to the wilds to look out for your
self, or you can hire a guide to bear
the responsibility and do the work, or
you can set up your tent by a stream.
and stay right there, or you can rent
little chalet and keep house, or you
can stay at carefully organized and
conducted camp, or you can get a
first-class room at a first-class hotel
and look at the scenery through the
window.
The whole thing has been planned
so that any taste, and any amount of
initiative ana lnaSllatlon or any lack
thereof, can be exactly accommodate
ed. And summering in these parks
is, for the most part, pleasantly free
of the holdup elements which mar
vacations in some-in fact in many
places. No millionaire colonies can
get a monopoly Of these parks because
Uncle Sam owns them, and though all
may camp on equal terms, there is no
land for sale. Likewise the hotel and
camp people lease the right to conduct
their establishments from the govern
ment, and the government is there to
see that they are properly conducted.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-07-20

NoU can't run at high gear unless
you keep your machine in per-
feet repair. and even then you
can't run at high gear all of the time.
That is the rationale of the need of
modern man for vacation. He does
more in a year than his forefathers
did in hVe, and he therefore has press
ing need to knock off once year, and
do nothing, or something else, for at
least two or three weeks. All of the
more important business organizations
OF the country are making vacation
regular and important institution.
They are organizing camps and play
grounds. They realize that human
efficiency is the deciding factor in
the success of any business and that
efficiency is a matter of health.
The individual faces exactly the
same problem. His success depends
into his work, and the zest depends
upon health. Many of us never do
catch up with the modern pace. We
are tagged laggards all the way
through the struggle. Only few of
us are as much as five-eighths alive
most of our waking time. We drink
butternilk to live long, but are only
of us ever realize that the way to
achieve is not to try harder. but to
quit trying for a while, to give our
nerves the tonic of freedom from re-
sponsibility and our lungs a breath of
fresh air.
Change is the prime essential Of
vacation. If you live in the country
and raise cucumbers, the proper thing
for you to do is to have your whiskers
curled and go to New York. But
most of us live in the city, and there
fore the thing We need is to go out
doors.
Now living out-of-doors is at once
habit and Achievement. John Muir
says that going back to the woods is
going home because we all came from
the woods. To many a westerner this
is very true. The East has somewhat
to learn from the West along that
line. In Western towns everybody is
off for a hike every few weeks or
months. Most of the men hunt and
most of the women ride, and throw
ing a squaw-hitch over a pack is as
common an accomplishment as play
ing golf is in the East. When your
real Westerner gets a vacation, he has
no doubts about what to do. Only a
hundred and twenty-five miles away
there is trout stream that he has
been intending to try for several years.
He puts the grub box and bed in the
blackboard, bitches up his team of na-
tive cayuses, and arrives at his desir-
ed trout stream in two days without
fatigue. He knows how to take care
of himself and have good time out
of-doors. And to that familiarity of
his with the mountains and mesa you
may trace much of what is best and
most typical in him-his breadth of
thought, his physical stamina, his res
olute love of freedom.
Now there is no denying that there
are many good amateur woodsmen in
the East, but numerically they are
the merest handful. The typical East

THE PRICE OF SUGAR

nEMOCRATIC editors are trying
IL desperately to hide with clever
phrases their chagrin over the
fact that sugar has gone steadily UP
in price, instead of down, as a result
of the enactment of the Underwood
tariff law and that the statute named
all but ruined the cane sugar industry
of that sacred domain. the Solid
South" The Philadelphia Record ex-
plains that the cane sugar industry
was losing ground before the Under
wood tariff. the inference being that
it was mercy to put it out of its
misery.
Tomorrow, II experience counts for
anything, the Record will call the
Telegraph a party organ" and in a
perfect storm of indignation will rage
around the old well-worn circle of
Democratic tirade, abuse and explana-
ton.
But that won't bring down the price
of sugar or restore in a moment anv
of the ruined sugar industries of the
South.

THE GLORY OF PENNSYLVANIA

INUR thanks to Miss Agnes Repplier
" for some kind words con-
cerning Pennsylvania in the cur
rent issue of the American Magazine.
All that she says about our scenery
Our industries. our proud place in the
history of the States and our patriotic
devotion is true. But when Miss
Repplier talks of our "preposterous
capitol she is libeling Pennsylvania,
rather than gloryfying it and at the
same time is placing her own evidently
limited architectural judgment against
that of the worlds best authorities on
the subject, who have pronounced the
Pennsylvania building a gem among
buildings.
Miss Repplier talks sarcastically
of imperial hatracks" and vice regal
spittoons," but never a word of the
wonderful paintings of Abbey and
Oakley, which rank among the best
of their kind in the world, or the
statuary of Barnard, which set all
Europe agasp when 1t was exhibited
in the art salons of Paris. Not a
word of the beautiful rotunda or the
classic lines of the great structure
itself
One wonders if Miss Repplier did
not write this chapter of the GLORY
of the States" from observation gleen-
ed from the newspaper political
columns of a decade past and the
smattering of information she may
have gathered as she whirled through
Pennsylvania over the main line of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Certainly, her
well-written. but sadly lacking essay
might have been so compounded.
have been extracted from those
sources, Plus, perhaps. an old school
history.
Pennsylvania's glory is not Of the
past alone. It is of the present.
Neither does it rely solely upon the
sons the men who were among
those who signed the Declaration of
Independence or helped frame the
Constitution. We are as patriotic and
as self-sacrificing as any State in the
union. The first Commonwealth to
have its full quota of soldiers at the
border after the call of President Will
son was Pennsylvania. That ought to
be answer enough for the maligners
who earn their livings blackmailing
one of the fairest and best Common
wealths the world has ever known.
We thank Miss Repplier for her
kind words, and we invite her back
for more extensive examination of
our capitol and our laws.

GREATER HARRISBURG NAVY

TXTHEN a prominent member of
wv the City Planning Commission
and the head of the Depart
ment of Parks agree to serve upon a
committee which has in mind the i'm
provement of the Susquehanna river
basin, it is an encouraging sign of the
Increasing interest of officials and
people generally in the wider and
more general use of the river at this
point. Visitors all speak in glowing
terms of our wonderful river front
and the city cannot afford to fail in
any direction wherein the permanent
Improvement of the embankments, the
islands and the channels is involved.
Our West Shore neighpors must
also be deeply interested in anything
that concerns the river and it is UP
TO our 'cross-river friends to join the
"Greater Harrisburg Navy" in its con-
structive program of improvement. OF
course, there will be a wide variety
of opinion regarding the things which
must be done from time to time, but
there is little doubt that upon the
main questions there will be sub
stantial agreement.
City Commissioner Lynch will COM
pletc the river dam by installing some
concrete slabs which were not placed
in position last summer and it will
then be the business of the new asso-
citation to have a survey of the basin
completed with a view to providing
bathing beaches, protecting the islands
from erosion, opening channels in the
reefs and otherwise doing what is
necessary to make the broad bosom
of the river here the ever-increasing
resort of hundreds of our people.
Committees will be appointed this
week to interview all our business
people with a view to making the
Labor Day carnival a wonderful sue
cess from the standpoint of a specta-
cular river pageant and aquatic
interest. Fortunately for the future
of the association and the important
interests which have been referred to
it, many Of the younger men of the
city are taking an intelligent and ag-
gressive interest. They appreciate the
river and through them a wider use
CT the Susquehanna basin is certain to
follow.
