WHY DID CAMERON DO TT?

A part of the Republican press is endeavoring to figure out some broad and statesman like motives for Senator Cam eron's action in defeating the appropriation for Grand Can yon National Park. They are meeting with no success. A personal grudge was back of the senator's action and no higher motive is to be found.
 Had the senator's son been appointed Superintendent of Grand Canyon National Park. and had the Senator succeeded in making suitable disposition of his claims in the Park to the Park Service, he would have stood 100. per cent in fav- or of an appropriation twice as lrage. It turned out that po- sitions in the Park Service are under Civil Service. Young Cameron would have been re- qured to pass Civil Service OK animation and then to wait his turn and he mght have been ap- pointed to some other park. The Senator's gr,ldge is natural enough but his action was far removed from the broad states manship which we like to think our senators possess.

National Park Maintenance.

The recent invective of Sen
 ator Cameron of Arizona be-
 fore the Senate against the pro-
 visions of the interior approp-
 riation bill for the maintenance
 and development of national
 parks wherein he referred to these lungs of the nation ar
 ''sink holes of public funds has throughout the West.
 The Senator's attack was particularly directed against an appropriation of S9O,OOO for Grand Canyon National Park, of which amount $4S,OOO was to be used for park maintenance
 administration, etc, and S4O.- 900 for reconstructing Kaibab Trail, completing Hermit Rim Road and for the building of community houses and camp CTS quarters. He held that the expenditure of the funds would be to ''gratify the whims of few who would profit by the expenditures" and charged further that it was the intention of those behind the approp- riation to build campers quart CTS in regions where only thirty or forty millionaires could congregate and have a good time.
 Cameron did not state that more than 5O,0OO people visited that matchless wonder of the world during 1921, the visitors including many transcontinent- al automobile parties. The national park system of the United States is in far greater measure to the national good roads movement what the chain of historic missions of California is to El Camino Real. It would be no worse to elimi- nate the maintenance of the | Panama Canal than to throttle l the maintenance and develop ment of the great parks than | which there is no national en- dowment of more vital import ance to the future of America.
 It is interesting to note that several years ago, when it be- came evident that the Grand Canyon would prove a Mecca for naturelovers of the world, that Cameron plastered most of the territory included by Bright Angel Trail, which winds 10 the bottom of the gorge, with claims and through hose mining clzfms attempted % control the trail as essential o the development of his min-

Best Minds" Get Third Place.

Senator Lodges boast that more was done by the Disarma- ment Conference for the worlds peace in twelve weeks than has been done anywhere else in twice as many years is of course only one of Mr. Lodges characteristic modest boasts. He was a member of the conference.
 On this subject, Cordell Hull, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, recently said in a speech at Indiana polls.
 "The people are already con- cluding that it would have been far wiser to have the affairs of the nation directed by the com mon sense and practical states manship of a Democratic ad- ministration than by the boast ed Republican best minds which the public are even now as another Republican myth. Their so-called best minds in profession have be- come mollycoddles in perform ance. In 1919, intoIerant and inflated Republicans cried, Oh, for Root or, a Lodge at Versailles, they would have successfully driven through the treaty proceedings within sixty lays, and yet, Root, Lodge and

FROM NATIONAL CAPITAL

Washington, Mar. 10. While the Republican Congress is wrestling with President Hard ing's proposal to pay the Sol diers' Bonus with the sales tax
 fbut not to be in any hurry about passing such legisIation) , Senator Caraway (Dem., Ark pictures another form of pro- posed relief for the Nations defenders, thus:
 This great party, the Re publican party, which came in to office and assumed full con- trol of the government in every branch in 1921 by reason of 9 propaganda that they and they alone were capable of meeting all difficulties and doing justice to everyone, professed they would reduce taxes and pay the soldiers adjusted compensation, has finally admitted It's impot- ence. 1t now presents the pitiable spectacle disclosed i'll the letter which I am about to read. The letter which came to my desk to-day is being sent out by Republican member of Congress from one of the rich est districts in New York. It reads as follows:
 February IS, 1922.
 Dear Senator: Have you any old clothes, suits, overcoats, shirts, underwear, shoes, etc. The Lest We Forget Committee have requested me to ask you to leave or send your old clothes to Kieth's Theatre any time of the day for the next month. i The committee will undertake to clean and repair your old ] clothes and put them in the | hands of ex-service men who l are in need.'
 ''In other words, this great 1 party that was going to do i justice to the soldier finally presents the sorry spectacle of l sending out letters begging peo- pie for old, discarded under wear and old shoes in order to clothe the ex-service men who are walking the streets begging for work and for something to eat under this administration"

Nearly all OF the Republi-
can contests for delegates TO
the state Convention had been set
tied and agreements reached on a
slate OF delegates early this after

Efforts to settle the contests

At that hour It was said by one
OF the conferees that an agreement
had been reached on delegates in
every ward excepting the Sixth, and
IL and the eight rural district con-

Among those in the conference
were City Chairman J. Austin Eli

the county committee: Thomas +.
Peeney, executive secretary OF the
Senator Ball: and Charles II. Grant
land secretary OF the Republican
State Committee and one OF the most
active OF the Senator T. c. DUPONT
leaders.
Before the conference a report
spread rapidly in Republican circles
that, following announcement OF the
proposed resignation OF Harry II.
as county chairman. "ad-
vice" had been received from some
mysterious source that Il would be
better TO withdraw candidates for
delegates who were filed in opposi-

BILLANY TOQUIT
CHAIRMANSHIP
Announces He Will Retire
as Head of County Com

NOT ENOUGH TIME
TO DEVOTE TO BOTH

According to word received from
Washington, Harry II. Billany.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral, who recently was elected chair
man of the Republican County Com
mittee. will resign the chairmanship
early in September. Mr. Billany in
announcing his intention to resign
said that owing to the Importance OF
his work as assistant postmaster gen
eral he would be unable TO give the
chairmanship the time and atten-
tion II would require with the open
Ing Of the campaign in Delaware.
ITO attempt to hold the position as
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral and county chairman would
necessarily cause both places 10
suffer for lack OF personal atten-
ton" General Billany told The
Evening Journal correspondent.
Mr.. Billany said the duties as
Assistant Postmaster General were
too important and required all OF
his time. and that the chairman Of
should be on the Job at all times, |
and to try TO give time between the
two places would be unfair TO both. |
Mr.. Billany will leave Washington |
Friday on his annual leave and upon |
his return shortly after Labor Day /
will tender his resignation as county |
chairman.
Mr. Billany said his resigna-
ton as county chairman had no |
connection whatever with any politi-
cal situation in Delaware. He |
said he had no idea who would aspire |
for the chairmanship as he had not |
heard the matter discussed in form
whatever.
