NATIONAL FAIRGROUNDS.

The Director of the National Park
Service, a bureau OF the Department
OF the Interior, which Ia charged with
the care and administration of our
scenic reservations in all their primi-
tive glory, reports that 1,17i.797 per-
sons visited these areas last year. This
Is q new high record. exceeding that
for the year preceding by more than
one hundred thousand. A few years
ago the annual registration was only
three or four hundred thousand There
has been a steadily increasing APP
probation of these national play
grounds since the late Secretary Lane
naugurated campaign OF publicity
for them.
Conditions during the World War
gave effect TO the slogan, "See America
FIRST" and the national parks became
strong bidders for the tourist. With
many of them there is nothing in the
world TO compare and every one can
make some claim on the travellers in
terest. There are now nineteen parks
and twenty-four monuments" lesser
parks preserved for a single feature of
Iattractlveness, all except one west OF
| the ssissippi-together they cover
about twelve thousand square miles OF
wild region, and II a property value
could be placed on them it would
amount 10 tens of millions of dollars.
The upkcep costs less than two mil
Hons annually. and last year four hun
bred thousand dollars accrued to the
government from fees and charges foi
accommodation expressly provided fol
the comfort or the pastimes Of the
tourist. One and all they offer tempt
irg attractions for the nature lover
or the sightseeing vacationist.-Provi

A WARM HOUSE AND

A WARM HOUSE AND
A RUDDY FIRE
A warm house and rudy fire,
To what more can man aspire?
Eyes that shine with love aglow.
Is there more for man to know?
Whether home be rich or poor,
If contentment mark the door
He, who finds 1t good to live.
Has the best that life can give.
This the end OF mortal strife.
Peace at night to sweeten life,
Rest when mind and body tire.
At contentmept's rudy IRE.
Rooms where merry songs are sung
Happy old and glorious young,
These. if perfect peace be known,
Both the rich and poor must own.
A warm house and rudy fire,
These the goals Of all desire.
These the dream Of every man
Since God spoke and life began.

PRESIDENT AND THE SEAwAY.

The whole hearted approval of the
st. Lawrence seaway project voiced
by President Harding before the ma
tional agricultural conference is some
thing for which the middle west has
been waiting hopefully ever since the
official Endorsement of the improve
ment by the international Joint com
mission. With the President thus
virtually pledged to support the bill
now before congress to authorize the
project, the hope which has been
growing for years throughout the in
terror OF the continent that the pro-
hundreds Of miles nearer the mar
kets Of the world seems certain of

realization.

and realization except the sectional
opposition Of New York mad other

GOVERNMENT HAS NO MAGIC.

Some people look on government as
a sort Of magic. II has only to wave
its wand, and presto! the genie is sum-
moned from tn bottle and things begin
to happen. The ordinary person has to
work and save to get ahead. The gov
eminent is free from all these crude
Limitations. All 1t needs to do is to say:
Let there be money" and there is
money.
These ideas seem to be in Mr.. Ford's
mind when he talks about the govern
ment being able to issue money against
a great development project and so 10
finance it without paying interest. II
you or / should undertake to build a
power plant and were without the nee
essary funds, we should have to bor-
row and pay somebody for the use of
the money. But Mr.. Ford thinks the
government, somehow. is different.
| How is 1t different? The government
IS made up of you and me and the
rest of us, associated in various activ-
tiles. Its only resources are the funds
it gets when it writes us to please re-
nit. In Russia and central Europe
when people didn't remit. it tried tC
trade on this widespread impression
of government magic, and printed
money, bales of it, millions. and bill
lions and trillions of dollars worth
Pretty soon people saw the magic wa:
a fraud and now the money isn't worti

sCRwAB's SOUND SUGGESTION.

SIN W AuS DOuND SU0dhSTlONs
Mr.. Charles NJ. Schwab. head OF the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation. is gen.
orally looked upon a. man pos
sesscd OF sound business principles
and large executive capacity, with
fun knowledge Of business conditions
and what Is necessary to their pro-
motion. In our community we have
some intimate relations with Mr..
schwab, ms one Of the corporations
plants is located In our city. and it's
successful administration has much
to do with our general Industrial In
tcrcsts.
In an address before the Hotel
Mems Association OF New York City,
Thursday night, Mr.. Schwab gave
consideration TO prevailing Industrial
conditions. which are far from en-
eouraging. to say the least, and in
this connection referred to the very
important element OF the relations of
government to general business. He
called for less Interference by the
general government In the way of leg
islation. Business would be helped
with less legislation" he said. I'VE
must have true economy as a basis
of government. but We'll never have
successful business unless the initla-
tive and enterprise OF business men
ia enlisted in the work OF reconstruc-
ton. Let railroad men have a free
hand in the development OF transpor-
tation and the first great step toward
successful rehabilitation OF bust
ness win have taken place."
Here Is a sound truth, pertinently
and forccfully expressed, and 1t may
we'll be extended TO other lines OF
business. All would be benefited b,
less interference on the part OF gov
eminent, and It Is equally certain
that all will be injured by any ma
tcrial extension OF the evil and
trouble-breeding element OF govern,
ment interference.
II Is a difficult matter, however, II
impress this truth upon our lawmak
ers. national and State, and upon {
great many persons, largely busy
bodies. who are not lawmakers bu
who feel it to be their special mission
to promote the enactment OF Lars
They work in Congress and In Stat
Legislatures. The mischief that Con
gress has done is painfully apparent
and II seems intent upon doing NOR
by imposing unduly high tariff taxa
ton and other restrictions upon bust
ness enterprises. in the vain hop
that the benefits that may accrue I
favored interests will be Of value I
J the entire country. But the expert
ence OF the past has amply prove
the fallacy OF this contention.
