However, the exhibitor did not get away

Fiction and Chance.
The reports OF the administrators Of
two estates recently made public fur
nish d striking commentary of social
conditions and the rewards meted out
for brilliant work in two contrasting
occupations. The estate of Richard
Cantield. the world-famous gam
bling house keeper, is found to be
worth $500. 900, and he was supposed
years of his life and to have died
poor.
The estate of Marion Crawford.
world-famous novelist, Is found to pc
worth $50,OOO, and he died when in the
height OF his popularity and prosper
ity. Both men were stars in their
lines of work, but it seems that
chance pays better than fiction.
There is going to be something do
ing in the doll animal kingdom. The
Teddy Bear has been boss of the
stuffed zoo and having it all his own
way for a number OF years without
any one to say him nay. Now. how

the ring and cotton batting and nan

Woody Tiger, and it is asserted that
he is not too proud to fight.

MOUNT MITCHELL PARK
OPENED FOR CAMPERS
Government and Southern Railway
Working Together to Make Region
of Wonders More Widely Known.

Mount Mitchell National Forest. in the
very heart Of the Southern Appalachian
Mountains. one Of the most beautiful
and picturesque spots in the Western
World, is 70 be opened to the people for
camping and recreation purposes. In
lovelness Of scenery. in salubrity Of
climate, in wonders Of natural resources
and in accessibility OF location II Will
be the most wonderful park in America.
In protection OF the superb primeval
forests and the vast natural water
sources. the government acquired the
area OF the reserve. After mature con-
sideraUon. il was decided to convert
II into q recreation park-a magnificent
playground for the people OF the entire
country.
In conformity with this plan. the For
est Service and the Southern Railway
are preparing literature and maps de-
sCriptive Of the reserve TO place at the
disposal OF those who may desire per
rnanently or temporarily to locate within
the park. II is the purpose Of the gov
ernment to place within the reach Of all
either locations for cottages or sites for
camps. Here they may spend all or any
part Of the wear in an environment I'M
surpassed in beauty and healthfulness.
A recent letter written by H. s Graves,
Chief Forester OF the United States. TO
W H. TayIoe. passenger traffic manager
of the Southern Railway. outlines the
plans which the government will make
effective in the Mount Mitchell National
Park He SAYS:
Free permits may be obtained for
temporary camping purposes and ii is
required only that necessary precautions
be taken in building and eNtinsuis hing
the campfire, and that the cutting OF
green timber be avoided and that the
grounds be kept in clean and sanitary
condition.
The most important problem in con
ncCtion with the reCrea ton development

Does the Constitution of the United
States present a solution of the exist
ing world war and the return OF the
European civilizations from a condition
bordering on savagery?
Dr.. Darwin Z. Kingsley. widely
famed as social economist and student
Of international law, believes that it
does. He explained his ideas to me at
length and l only regret that lack of
space prevents me from doing full jus
tics to them. Its such a lovely dream
its a shame not to Itnger over II.
Each State walled In.
The story OF democracy is a trilogy.
DR.. Kingsley points out, under the head
ings OF Democracy Bound" "Democ-
racy Unbound and Democracy the
Torch Bearer" The thirteen original
colonies were independent and sover-
eign states with a high and opaque
wall around each one which prevented
those on either side from seeing what
their nelghbors were doing or Joining
with them in brotherly and friendly en-
deayor. That was democracy Bound
Then. with the formation OF the
United States, the walls were lowered
and only used as boundary lines within
which the people in each State could
settle their own local differences The
states were no longer sovereign and in
dependent. Each Individual was made
a component part OF a general sover-
eighty which directed all. There were
no high State walls to engender jeal-
Ousy and hatred through Ignorance OF
what was being done on the other side
The civil war completed the removal
OF these walls and made internecine
ruptuTes in the future an impossibiIity.
That condition he calls Democracy I'm
bound"
And now, he claims, We are in the
condition for all the world to take eX-
ample from. The Constitution has been
fulhUed and its ideals made to come
to pass. We are Democracy the Torch
Bearer
United states of the World:
Why should not the English-speak-
ing nations and colonies of the world, -
asks DR.. Kingsley, do exactly what the
American colonies did when they adopted
the constitution, and form great cUah-
tiOn that would dominate the world
When the colonies adopted the constitu-
ton and became amalgamted states none
Of them lost any of the dignity or right
or power of priv.lege it had as an in
dependent colony. On the contrary, they
gained greatly in all these and in strength
and prestige The barrier of Ignorance
and misunderstanding was removed and
orotherly love and goOd fellowship were
established"
The United States OF the Torld''
would certainly be an amalEamation that
no other nation would have the hardI-
hood or desire to make war with And,
Furthermore. there would be nothing tU
war about any more than there is cause
for war between the States Of our union.
at least 50 argues DIR. Kingsley. In
other words, remove the cause for war
ard war : stopped. Under these con-
t'iO1s. Alaska would have no more cause
or desire 10 so to war with New Zealand
than Maine now has to so to war with
Arizona
It's a beautiful dream all right. and all
hiEh-minded statesmen will doubtless feel
sorry for Dr.. Kingsley when he wakes
up.
