THAT NEW PARK

! (Killdcer, North Dakota, Herald)
The Herald has been skeptical Of
the success Of the so-callcd Roose-
welt Park project ever since it be-
came known just how much terri
tory was included therein. Our
doubts have been strengthened since
the inspection of Major Goldman Of
the U. S. Biological Survey who
went through here last week in COM
pany with T.. E. Fredcen Of Ryder.
Major Goldman said there were SO
many settlers and SO much good
farm land from Marmarth to Mcdora
and then to almost Watford City
that the government might not feel
justified in creating park at the
cost necessary to buy out all these
farmers and ranchers within the
proposed limits. and that there
should really be two or three parks
instead Of only one.
Nobody has unlimited energy to
waste on impractical, illogical or
impossible things. even though it
may create a little passing publicity
for adjacent cities.
The government park commission
will not waste time on any project
which rambles over a hundred miles
Of territory and which would entail
prohibitivc expense in the pur-
chase Of farm and ranch lands and
homes.
This sounds like knock. 1t may
be. But it seems more sensible to
look the project squarcly in the face
to start with. than to start some
thing which we know is impractical
II not impossible.
As far as the people of this sec
tion are concerned, they would ra-
Their see more farms and more farm
crs than a park which would lessen
the number Of farms and be of
| questionable benefit to anyone.
There is a park project which is
now before Congress; it has been
! looked upon favorably: Major Gold
man is highly pleased with it; it will
cost the government comparatively
nothing; it is Of unqIestioned and
Of unrivaled beauty in North Da-
kota; it is natural park now: it
| will be National Park some day if
any is created in this section, be-
cause-it deserves to be.
That's the Killdcer Mountain Nat
ional Park project Of DauNtless
| Dunn.
It is twelve miles from any town.
No matter how much it needs
support, no one in the world can
make it meander around among a
half dozen slope towns in order to
get the required bally-hooing.
Forget the little old high board
fence which surrounds your corpor-
ate limits, gents. and boost for
something that is possible, practical
and mirthless.

WHEN 4 PRESIDENT TRAVELS

President Coolidge doubtless is enjoying the editorials
Of the nation cauonng discretion when he travels
His Yankee humor probably will appreciate of the
lbored efforts of those trying to decide how he should travel
The President has unique way Of foutng of the
ceremony that supposed to hedge in chief executive of
the United States.
But is Coolidge far out of historical line when he
packs his travelling bag. swings Pullman and takes pot
luck with the other Travellers Evidently the President
and his wife got considerable fun out of rubbing elbows
with the the se of the Pullman and the crowded
accommodations of the standard diner In addition to it
ALL President Coolidge received yards of publicity which
focused the mind on the value of economy.
No need fear that President Coolidge will make u
practice of this mode of travelling He knows how to
up to the dignity and Importance of his office. In
the time that he has spent in the White House he has DEM
onsraed that in marked degree but many of his prede
practsed fugaty and economy The lives of
presidents full Of incidents in their daily routine
pared to which President Cood ge trip to Chicago takes
regal elegance. Andrew Jackson disiked the pomp OF
office. Lincoln refused to submit to all the conventions and
nsited doing things in his way.
Coolidge knows the American mind probably we'll
anyone who has been in the White House. While there is
much of the statesman about him, he give of the
Tammany politicians few lessons in practical politics.
His lesson in practical economy may have shocked the ef
fete East but the boys in Chicago who hailed him in their
punching clothes and with "hook'em cow yes were
not at all hagrned because he failed to step from private
to the rattle of muskets and empty show of military
fuStian.

New York, Dec. 9.-When Maude
Adams dies she will undergo a
transition little more marked, so far

any she portrayed on the stage.
Yet Maudc Adams retired only five
years ago. Today she is 52 and but
little changed since her appearance
as Peter Pan.
And it is not at all unlikely that
before she goes to join Peter Pan

 The picture may or may not have been slightly overdraWn, but it is q striking contrast to the way in which it was done in generations gone by, according to some old records recent ly discovered by Mrs, E. J. Skinner. (Mrs. Skinner is a grandniece of Eli hu Burritt and in going through some old family records recently came across some interesting documents, one of them being a letter to the late Miss Anna Strickland, niece of "The Learned Blacksmith" and another a letter to Miss Strckland's father, from a young man who desired per mission to correspond with Miss Strickland,

Another interesting letter sent te one member of the Burritt family contains an offer to board and edu- cate a girl, furnish her with fuel candles and laundry service for S2OO per year.
 A paper of historical value is the will of Elijah Hinsdale, grandfather of Elihu Burritt. drawn in 1797 and disposing of what is thought to have been the first industry in New Britain, or at that time Berlin, his silk worm business.
 The letter to Miss Strickland evi- dently came from student at Yale, who was snitteu with her charms. Unfortunately the family records do not say whether he proved q faitfless sweetheart or whether death or par ental objection interfered. Whatever happened Miss Strickland never mar ried.

 The letter to the young woman, said to have been written sometime before the Civil War reads as follows:
 My Dear Miss Anna:
 'I send through you note to your father asking his permission to cor with you.
 'T leave it with you whether you hand it to him or not. Of course you will read it. I would fill this sheet if I thought it was proper before ob- taining your parents consent to cor respond.
