Colorado's Municipal Parks

All Of the larger cities Of Colorado and many Of the
smaller towns have tracts of special scenic other
interest that maintained municipal parks Pueblo
Denver and Colorado Springs have mountain parks that
most valuable municipal assets and that cred
people.
Canon City is making active efforts and liberal e1-
pendtures to make the of its scenic and
the Garden Park near that city, which has been
made accessible by volunteer work by its people, will
be formally opened May 12.
Another town that has recently made notable prog
in this direction is Rifle, where filing Of $40
in scenic Box Canon for municipal park purposes
has just been approved by the department of the interior
Rifle, by the way, is also to be congratulated upon the
letting of contract for its first paving district sig
nficant proof of the enteprisng spirit Of this
Even the cities Of the plains not neglecng their
opportunities. In nearly every Of them some hill
grove, island other attractive spot has been selected
for municipal park and each thus for future
the most enjoyable site it possesses for outdoor
amusement and recreation.
These municipal parks much for q state like
Colorado Nowhere else there such opportunities for
the Development of scenic resources and with all these
cities and towns making the of the best there
in their immediate neighborhoods there will be in few
astounding total Of accommodations for tour
lists and for campers well for residents
1t is only fair to repeat that a large part of the
credit for this most desirable development of municp.
parks belongs to the Forestry Bureau which is co.
operating most heartily in the policy Of recrcationa
development of the national forests.

An Amy Ready For Service

Secretary Weeks and General Pershine could not
do the country greater service than by establishing an
army able and ready to go into active operation at
moments notice The nation has had all it wants Of
unpreparedness, and is to be hoped that it viii
again have secretary Of who will Be thankful
that this nation is unprepsred.
The idea that unpreparedness is proof Of righteous
ness, like the idea that preparedness influence to-
ward war; finds support from the teaching Of history
Tho World War; the about Cuba and the war
Of Secession have all been declared be the result of
unpreparedness. That is, if the American government
had been provided with army and navy suitable to
its needs in 1851 1893 and in 1914 there good reason
to believe that it would not have been called upon to
make the tremendous sacrifices Of men and money in
those three great II the American government
had been prepared the southern leaders would not have
raised the fling Of secession the Spanish statesmen would
not have defied American sentiment in Cuba and tho
German militarists would have dragged the United
States into the World War And the cost Of that pre-
paredness would have been but small fraction of the
financial burden imposed upon by those three wars
For similar it may be predicted that if war
ever comes with Japan with any other foreign power
Or If this nation is shattered by internal disturb
ances, it will be at time when pscifsm controls the
national policy when American statesmen are "too
proud to fight" and when future secretary of
war is thankful that the nation is unprepared.

Even monkeys have been trained to

The case seems to be, then. that

taste and good feeling prevail. 1t has
probably not detracted from the

that It Is inevitable. There will Pc

Our Duty In Mexico.

Were the United States not now concerned in the
problems Of European reconstruction the relations Of
this government to neghboring republic Of MEXICO
would be Of paramount Importance
The Wilson administration abandoned its right and
repudiated its obligations far Mexico con-
cerned 1t gave protection to American citizens
either in Mexico along the border and it used neither
Mexico
Month after month and year after year the people
of the United States have watched the development Of
the policy of watchful waiting, at first with incredulty
and amazement, later with indignation and finally with
hopeless patience tempered by the realization that other
matters Of far greater Importance demanded all the
nation s thought and strength.
1t is certain that most Of the horrors and ruin in
Mexico in the past eight years might have been avoided
to its citizens and to the people Of Mexico.
The time has at last when the infamous policy
of Bryan and of Wilson should be changed, and when
the government Of the United States should do the
things that lie within the range of its official duties
powers and responsibilities
No considerable portion Of the American people de-
sire the annexation of any part Of the Mexican republic
The great majority of Americans would condemn any
general policy of exploitation Of Mexican resources
s the development Of Mexico for the benefit of the
Mexican people, and a policy Of the government at
Washington that will the tremendous influence Of
this nation to help Mexico forward along the patha Of
peace, liberty and civilization.
