The National Parks.

A conference is in progress at the Ma
tional Museum on the subject of the
national parks, their use and develop
ment and the part they are playing in
the lives Of the people of this country.
Addresses are being made by people Of
prominence in various lines Of endeavor
and lecturers are telling of and depict
ing the attractions of the parks in a
manner to surprise their hearers and
the beholders of the pictures, who have
had no adequate conception Of the
scenic wonders conserved by the United
States within these reservations.
An untold wealth is comprised in the
boundaries of the American national
parks. In pursuance of wise policy
the government has in recent years pre-
empted lands, chiefly in the west, which
include remarkable manifestations Of
nature. Some of these parks are noted
for their geysers, some for their Inn
mensely deep canyons, some for their
waterfalls, others for their trees, and
again others for the great heights of the
mountains. All are interesting and in
spring, and all are well worthy Of visits
from the people Of this country.
The governments task in this con-
nection Is to make the parks accessible
to all, to improve the facilities Of com

A Record Breaking Year.

The geological survey report to Sec
retary Lane on the value of the mineral
products of the United States in 1916
shows a total of astounding size. The
earth yielded metals and minerals val
ued at $1,000, 900 900 in twelve months,
the greatest in history, and at the same
time with less waste than ever before
and with greater profits. In part the
increased production and to larger ex-
tent the heavier profits have been due
to the war demand for metals, with an
increase of price which has made it
profitable to work ores previously re-
garded as unsuitable FOR mining, for the
lack Of market. This has been true
in certain copper ores and in the zinc
and tin ores, which have been mined
and smelted at rates previously unknown
and yielding a large return on hitherto
apparently waste investments. Copper
furnished the most sensational record
Of the year, the production in 1916 be-
ing valued at s520Ooo,Ooo, owing to the
fact that the average price was over
81 cents a pound, as against IL cents
the year previous. Extraordinary con-
ditions at home and abroad will be nee
essary to make the American metal and
mineral production of 1917 equal that
Of 1916 in point Of either volume OF
price.

Railroad Legislation.

The stage is being set in Congress for
. very pretty fight over railroad legis-
lation. Mr.. Wilson insists upon his pro-
gram-that portion of the program
which Congress failed to enact into law
at the. last session. He is busy in it's
behalf. When his heart becomes en-
listed in cause he has a way of turn
ing up on Capitol Hill and talking
things over with those in agreement
with him. He has made one such visit
at this session, and may make others.
It will not be his fault if the plan he is
advocating respecting strikes and lock-
outs does not prevail.
Quite as determined, it is stated, are
prominent labor leaders-not only the
leaders Of the brotherhoods, but other
leaders-that if it is in their power to
prevent, the Presidents plan shall not
prevail They condemn it as carrying
the principle of involuntary servitude
and % against all the interests of labor
organized and unorganized. And there
they and the President are. Either the
business must be passed on to the next
Congress, or . compromise drafted now
IAst sessions hold-up was accomplish.

munication and access, to regulate the
use of the parks to prevent abuses, while
encouraging visits. Great advances have
been made in the matter Of roads, by
means Of which touring parties are en-
abled to attain to vantage points pre-
viously inaccessible. Hotel accommoda-
tions, too, have been studied, and are
now being made a subject Of discussion
at the conference.
America is rich in scenic wonders, and
the country is warm in its support of
the policy of their preservation. This
conference will do much to promote the
park system as one of the country's rich
est assets and to spread among the peo-
pie a knowledge Of the opportunities
which they afford for instructive and
interesting home travel.

Boy Cyclists and Street Dangers.

A small boy was killed yesterday
while riding on his bicycle in this city
in consequence, it was set forth before
the coroner's jury, of wagon driver
holding to the wrong side Of the street.
The driver has been held for the grand
jury on charge of causing the boys
death.
There is much careless driving in
Washington, both of wagons and Of
motors. The rule of the right hand is
so plain, so generally recognized as the
basis of all traffic regulation, that there
is no excuse whatever for ignoring it.
Some drivers of vehicles seem to think
that they are justified in moving along
the wrong side if there is no police
man in sight to prevent. Only severe
punishments administered to those who
are caught violating this rule, whether
their conduct results in accidents or not,
will sufficiently teach the lesson that the
rule was made to be obeyed and not to
be broken.
Children on bicycles should be given
the protection of the traffic rules to the
fullest extent. They must not be driven
off the streets because of the miscon-
duct of drivers and motorists, who ap-
pear to have no consideration whatever
for their safety. A boy on wheel is
1oaLol ,,Dop &c q ry,la aq taking hia
hances. He must do all the collision
avoiding. As matter of fact the BIZ
cyclist has all the rights Of a vehicle,
and, of course, all the responsibilities.
The traffic police will do well to make
some arrests among those who seem to
feel that children are intruders in the
streets, whether they are on wheels or
on foot.

Wilson and Bryan.

In some quarters Mr.. Wilson is con-
graduated on the fact that he will begin
his second term free of Mr. Bryan and
all that Mr.. Bryan represents. Why
slam Mr.. Bryan in such fashion,
Mr.. Wilson began his first term with
Mr.. Bryan at his side, sitting next to
him at the cabinet table 1t was in
every way the proper arrangement, and
represented both gratitude and good
politics. Mr.. Wilson had received his
office from Mr.. Bryan. He needed for
the carrying out of his policies-then
almost wholly domestie-Mr. Bryan's
influence with Congress, which was con-
siderable.
Mr. Bryan did not fail his chief in
anything until the controversy with Ger
many became acute. He marshaled his
friends in Congress for all the legis-
lation Mr.. Wilson desired. He seconded
him in everything respecting Mexico.
He praised him in newspaper interviews,
and in set speeches. No member of the
cabinet was more loyal, or appeared to
work with more pleasure toward making
the administration a success.
When Mr. Bryan left the cabinet, al
though the exchanges between him and
the President were most cordial, there
was feeling in political circles that
Mr.. Bryan's interest in Mr.. Wilson
would cool, and might disappear alto
gether. But it did not. He continued
to laud Mr.. Wilson, he supported him
for denomination, he took the stump for
his reelection, and performed wonders
in states where his following had always
been large. In fact, the Bryanites
properly so-called, give their hero the
bulk of the credit for Mr.. Wilson's sue
cess at the polls last year.
This being true, can it be said that
Mr. Wilson is "free of Mr.. Bryan and
all that Mr.. Bryan ,represents"f He is
not free, and apparently does not wish
to be. No man is more welcome at the
White House than Mr.. Bryan. Among
those who will serve in the next Con-
gress are many men classed as Bryan
ties, and proud of the classification. Mr.,
Wilson will need their support, and Mr.
Bryan can all but guarantee it.
Mr.. Bryan may not serve Mr.. Wilson
again as a cabinet adviser. He may not
sit within the inner circle, and certainly
in his prohibition crusade he is antago-
nizing some of Mr.. Wilson's closest
friends. But, for all that, he will con-
tinue factor to be reekoned with in all
large democratic calculations.
