Great Smoky Mountain Park.

Only twelve hours from Washington
is a primeval wilderness just as un-
spoiled as ever it was, and that it may
remain unviolated the Federal Govern
ment has added it to the list Of national
parks. The area is dominated by the
Great Smoky Mountains, and the sane
tuary will take its name from the lofty
range which men of science say was old
before the Rockies began to rise.
A forester who is familiar with the
region says that there are 10000 acres
of trees, representing more than hun
dred varieties, in the park. He lists,
in addition, one hundred and fifty
species of shrubs and mentions two
hundred kinds of birds and thirty-fi five
species of animals and reptiles. Much
of the territory is jungle-like in the
density Of its growth. Spruce trees,
one hundred and seventy i've feet high,
Evening star., 1933-02-07

thought to be six hundred years old
are hedged about with hemlocks seven
| feet in diameter, which in turn are pro-
tected by birches and by rhododendrons
Over the tangle loom the mountain
peaks, six thousand feet above sea level
To imagine the colorful beauty of the
preserve it is but necessary to call the
roll of the blossoms which adorn and
decorate it: Anemones, violets, trilliums,
azalea, laurel, asters. daisies, orchids
and more than a hundred other
flowers"
Animals elsewhere unknown south of
the Canadian border roam the wood
land in undisturbed peace Streams
which never have been fished come down
from the ridges. The Government has
authorized explorers to chart some of
the Businesses and few naturalists
have been admitted to study the flora
and fauna; but no exploitation Of the
park is contemplated.
When the first white settlers arrived
in the Western World practically the
entire terrain was tangle comparable
with that of Smoky Mountain National
Park. To reduce that confusion to
human uses was the business of the
colonists through the first two centuries
of American history. No vaster enter
prize ever was undertaken by people
1t demanded of the pioneers the best
they had of brain and Drawn. Remak-
ing the map, they remade themselves;
was inevitable that the civilization so
carved out of the wilderness, so created,
should have institutional expression.
The Declaration Of independence and
the Constitution of the United States
were manifes toes of the idealism of the
forest clearers. The governors of
nature had no fear CT the task of gov
erning themselves
Granted that the struggle still con-
tinues, that millions of acres remain to
be subjected, that vast resources are Is
yet untouched, it nevertheless is true
that what once was wilderness is now
a garden. That generations to come
may have visual evidence of the magni-
tude of the conquest, such reservations
as the Smoky Mountain territory are
protected by Federal ownership. They
serve other purposes, of course, but
perhaps their best use is that of the
testimony they afford of the victory of
the Americans of yesteryear over the
natural anarchy into which, but poorly
they came from the old lands
over the restless sea.

Report on the Future.
From the Akron Beacon Journal.


Undaunted by previous disasters,
Henry Ford has again donned the robes
of the prophet and staged a round trip
into the future for the benefit of the
New York Times representative. This
time Henry comes back with word that
lin the real machine age, which is to
come the dirt and uglinesS and con-
fusion and noise and disregard of
human rights which are all about us
today, will be done away with"
We don't believe it. If Ford should
break into print with a declaration that
uglinesS and noise of the motor car
can and will be done away with we'd
tilt respectful ear. But auto engines
and human dynamics are two different
things. No one can lift a hood, peer
in at functioning human nature and
certainly declare that it IS or is not
capable of developments ending in per-
fection.
History's evidence does offer a basis
for speculation, of course, but that evil
dence does not support the Ford vision
of world where there will be no such
thing as disregard of human rights.
Some progress in the right direction
has been recorded, but so little that
the odds against ever reaching the goal
Of the Utopians are at least a billion
or so to one. And, oddly enough, the
inflnitesimal advances admittedly made
have been achieved with no help from
the Henry Fords Of this and other
generations.

Court Of Appeals might have decided
in its favor, and that such a decision
would have been more of loss for
consumers of electricity than the pres
ent compromise represents gain. 1t is
further true that had the litigation
ended favorably, for the peoples
counsel and the Utilities Commission,
rates might have been lower than they
will be under the compromise.
The point to remember, however. is
that the battle started over attempts
by Peoples Counsel, in which the COM
mission later concurred, to change the
rate-f1Xing agreement in a manner that
would yield lower rates and that the
ability to order those lower rates was
dependent upon the principle that the
commission had the right to change
the rate-f1xing agreement at will.
The compromise agreement yields
lower rates than the old consent decree
The commissions right to order rates,
and not to be bound in perpetuity by an
agreement which changing conditions
may affect, has been upheld in the
lower court and is now recognized by
the company So the consumers of
electricity are better off than before
In addition. there is the prospect of
continuation of the good relations be-
tween the power company and the
commission and re-establishmcnt of a
method of rate fixing which has dem
orstrated its merits. All parties to
the dispute are to be commended upon
to reach reasonable and mutually ad-
vantageous compromise.

These are some words that used to seer
A little impolite,
Which in the modernistic scheme
Are perfectly all right.
Important things we have to learn
While journeying On our way
In order that we may discern
The things we mustn't say.

Both frequently and long,
The poet who will rhymes unfold
And never get "in wrong"
The clerk who neatly goes through
In peace from day to day
