Ickes On the Parks.
(NeW York TimeS.l

(NeW York TimeS)
 For new Cabinet officer Harold Loy Ickes is delightfully."- outspoken He says what is on his mind just if he not politician. Think of Ia Secretary of the Interior announcing in public speech that the American people do not know how to use their parks! Their idea of wild flowers is to pick them up by the roots" he told group of parklovers dining together the other evening Their idea of trees and shrubs is to break off the branches" The Grand Panjandrum of the Yellow stone even went so far to observe, navely, that crowds and parks incompatible" If that be true, he is likely to encounter deal of incompati bility before he completes his present task He apparently recognizes the practical necessities of the case, however, for he hastened to speak of the concessions that must be made to the principle of accessibility" if the people of the country to get the full benefits of these great recreation cen terS And yet
 If had my way about National Parks,
 would create without road in it. I
 would have it mpenetrable forever to auto mobiles, a place where would not try
 to improve upon God
 That is not so utterly impossible of realiza- tion. There is one park in the empire which MT. Ickes holds sway-Mount Mckinley National Park in Aaska-where corduroy still rules over silk stockings and his dream is all but an actuality today To be sure, there is gravel road that runs in forty miles from the railroad station to the foot of the glaciers that ring old Dena round with glory, but what is narrow ribbon like that
 
 all about is still set down the official maps as "unexplored areas" One day last Spring a park ranger saw afar off what he took to be red fox asleep a grassy knoll Wondering how near he could get to it without being discovered, he got down on his hands and knees and crawed labor iousy toward the animal only to raise his head at last over the top of little ridge plump in the face of grizzly The bear made rush at him, more in surprise than in anger, but turned tail and the moment it caught the human scent.
 No need for Secretary Ickes to worry about having to dodge automobiles" in that country. And there sections of the National Parks home fit to be forever kept wild forest lands as even effete New York State decrees for its preserves It is clear that MT Ickes contrary to the sometime sinister tradition of his offce-con- firmed under the Fall regme-stands with the pro- tectors against the exploters and be counted upon to direct the departments conservation poli- cies back into their true course That being so it is a little disturbing to hear rumors from Wash ington that the National Park Service may be shifted to other department, where it would be less

sponsbility for administering the Indian schools, building of roads and trails and other matters which the nation either handles alone or in CO., operation with the Territory; because it fears the Territory cannot without injury to established industry or to individuals defray administrative costs.
 The Chamber ought to have sufficient confidence in Alaskans to permit them to determine whether they can pay these costs. That is what the Dele gates bill really does In opposing the passage of such legislation the Chamber would in effect be saying that the residents of Alaska who are qualified voters ought not to have anything to say about the matter at all.
 A mistaken impression has developed widely that the bill if passed would then and there turn over the fisheries to Alaska. That is wholly erroneous. Section Four of the measure provides: That the administrative authority here
 by vested in the Territory of Alaska shall
 not become effective until the Legislature
 of said Territory shall, at any regular or
 extra session, accept jurisdiction of the
 administrative and regulatory functions
 the fisheries of Alaska hereby transferred
 to and vested in the Territory of Alaska,
 and shall make provision by law for the
 administration and regulation thereof, as
 well as provision for defraying the neces-
 sary expenses of such administration, regu-
 lation, protection and conservation of such
 fisheries.
 In other words, unless and until the Legislature of Alaska establishes by law a system of admin istration that will adequately do all the things necessary for administration and regulation, and set up funds sufficient to carry such laws and regu latons hereunder, Federal control is to continue. That provision alone hold, is enough to justify, in fact to warrant the Chamber to endorse the bill
 The bill in it's entirety ought to be read and studied carefully by all Aaskans. It is not long and not complicated. It is simply drawn and susceptible of being easily understood
 The game and fur bill follows along the same general lines, except the authority of administra- tion would pass immediately to the Territory. Pow CTS vested in the Secretary of Agriculture and the Alaska Game Commission would be transferred to the Governor of the Territory pending some other arrangement by the Legislature.
 Both measures seek to make Alaska's dream of home rule actuality. Both ought to be en- dorsed by every Chamber of Commerce in Alaska, by the Alaska Territorial Chamber and by the rank and file of ctizenry, and passed by Congress

New Food and Drug Bill.
CNew York World Telegram)

 The Department of Agriculture has prepared, with President RooseveltS approval, new and compre- hensive food drugs and cosmetics bill aimed to protect the public against impure and injurious products, false labels and misleading advertising.
 The need of such act has been long apparent The old Food and Drugs law of 1906 is feeble and full of loopholes Time and again the Federal authorities have had to confess themselves power less, under this law to stop the manufacture and sale Of products not only fraudulent but highly dangerous. So-called "radum cures not for gotten, nor the scandal regarding certain thetics
 We hope the new law has found way effectively to prevent the continued sale of condemned drugs
 The public health greatly needs up-to-date pro- lection The Roosevelt Administration is to be con- graduated upon not overlooking even among its gigantic economic and financial tasks, this very necessary and timely aid toward keeping the people of the nation well and safeguarded against poisons and impurities

Communism, or radicalism In any

hours after these 200 civilian conserta-
tionists were brought into the woods.
they had chased the only agftator
among them from camp.
Pack up and get out" they ordered,
The youthful radical took one look

departed.

Nesbitt gets his boys" out on the
campus" every now and then and
talks turkey"
Straight from the shoulder, he tells
them, you joined up with this army of
your own free will and II you've got
any grit at all, you'll stick it out"
HanA-Picked Overseer.
Nesbitt was hand-p picked for his job
as .overseer". by Capt. Donovan, and
he has ssuceeeded remarkably m getting
work out Of o bunch Of youths unused
to labor. He has the rare ability 10
give counsel when counsel is needed,
or q good bawiing out when sternness
should be employed. He was an Off
cet during the World War and Is due
for retirement in another year or two.
Straw BOSSES" picked from among
the forest army, are the butts of most
Of the complaints. Often the state
ment is heard:
He don't make any more than we
do, why should We have to be bossed
around by some teachers pet? Tell
him to 60 to -"
But over the straw boss "eorporals"
are crew Of Army sergeants and pri-
Yates, selected for their ability to deal
with recruits. Gradually they are from
ing out all the differences and bring
ing the men to understand that some
body has got to be boss.
IF only there was some promotion
system, whereby good men could be
given q slight raise-that would fix the
whole business" observed one officer.
"For instance, if the corporals were
given $3.50 month extra. and every
body was told the job would go to the
best worker, there would be so many
men clamoring for those jobs that they
wouldn't have time to crouch about
the straw bosses
Anxious Mothers Write.
The camp has been such q mecca for
wandering youth that anxious mothers
are deluging its officers with letters
asking If their sons are not members.
One mother sent a picture Of group.
with an *" over one boys head, and
wrote: This looks like my boy. He
might be under an assumed name. but
for five years he has worn q signet ring
on the small finger Of his left hand"
She inclosed . photograph of her son
and asked that he be instructed to COM
municate with her.
Capt Donovan ordered the entire
personnel to pass before him, but could
not make the identification.
Many of the letters are addressed to
Chief" Plotkins, under the mistaken
belief he is camp commander. This
gives everybody laugh as Plotkins is
the company cook. His picture, pub
lished In the newspapers, carried the
caption. "Chef Plotkins."
