Some impetuous persons are urging on prepa ration! for war, asserting the need of retaliatory measures against the enemy. These are mistaken in their motives; however natural the impulse when smarting under a sense of injury, to seek vengeance, the United States is not in this war to punish anybody. No scream of wrath is heard from the American eagle; our provocation has been strong and our anger is deep, but it is right eous, and it is justice and not revenge we look to establish. Wrongs to humanity may be righted, without inflicting grievous wrongs on the doer. Murderous attacks by land or sea will be brought to an end and safety of public and private life will be made secure as far as possible, without thought of vengeance. We fight for freedom, not only for ourselves, but for the world, and this surely includes the German people, to the great issue does not involve nor could it succeed if it did look to revenge for anything that has taken place in the course of the conflict. Retaliation is not an item in the program laid out for Amer icana in the great task they voluntarily have as sumed. The National Park Service By Frederic J. Haskin Washington, June 22. The national parks of mc unitca ataies nave now Been co-ordinated and placed under a special government service with a director in Washington, in much the same way that the national forests are controlled by mc turcac service. Properly to protect and conserve the national parks means to save from destruction and ex ploitation for all time certain of the most beauti ful and wonderful parts of the west to save them just as they were when the first daring Americans pusnea into tne ttockies, wnen Fremont iound the way across the divide and Kit Carsnn tnnnnl from Taos to California and from Canada to Mexico.

Railroads and the Inland Waterways. Announcement by the railroad managers that they are willing to co-operate in any way to re- itore to usefulness as adjunct! to transportation the inland waterways of the country is significant of an awakening in this great industry. The greatest obstacle in the way of utilizing the streams of the United States in transportation has come from the railway! themselves. If the mag. nates art aincere in their present professions, and we have no good reason to question that they are, it means much for the future development of the country. A very large percentage of the traf. fie now borne by rail, and the carrying of which has brought about the aerioua eongeation of the lines, with it! consequent delay! and hardships, properly should be water-borne. Under proper condition! bulky material! that now clog the track! could easily be carried the greater part of their journey on bargea instead of cars. Restoration of waterway usage, however, is not a matter to be immediately accomplished, for too much needs to be done before the neglected rlvera can be restored to their full possibilities of use as i factor in the transportation aervice of the country. Some partial relief ia possible imme diately, although facilities are quite limited, but development of a comprehensive plan for the whole country will require considerable time. Ail the debate and agitation of year! should now converge to the focal point of how to really use the atreama. It ii to the future more than to the nresent we must look in thii regard, for the new era will make luch demand! upon our energies aa will make present accomplishments seem little.

Canada realized long ago that there was easy money in this eterna hankenncr of man to get back to the hills. She began advertising her Rocky mountains, which are in no way su perior to our own. Now the Canadian Rnrlties are almost as well known as the Swiss Alps, and the tourist business is said to rank fourth among the Canadian industries. . But that is not the worst of it.

The process of creatine our national narks he. aan aooui ioi, ana aid not attract any attention for a long time. Congress would now and again pass a bill settinsr aside such and aiieh areas aa national parks. It was easy to get the bills through because they did not call for the ex- Eenditure of any money. The parks were merely ended over to the lecretary of the interior to look after. Later on, when all the world began going to the Yellowstone tn InnV nnnn that kit ui vn gin American wilderness, teeming with wild life, a detachment of troops was sent there to keep order and make some effort to suppress the poachers who were killing the last of the buf falo for their robes, and the elk that a fraternal order might be orovided with watrhfahe Tv. other national parks engineers were sent, rangers, lire guarus, wnaicver seemed urgently needed. There was no system about it. There was not even a clerk in Washington whose sole duty it was to attend to national park business.

Secretary Lane lived in California anrl rntilrl not fail to aee what great possibilities were being neglected in the national parks. He made it one of the prime purposes of his administration to develop some ot these possibilities. Stephen T. Mather was chosen to direct the work.

Read ing only the German newspapers, subject to gov ernment censorship within any limitations the government might impose, and which has no doubt rigorously excluded all foreign newspapers from the mails, this unsophisticated servant of the Lord waa also fully convinced that the Ger man navy bad aunk the entire British navy off Jutland, that German submarines are wiping all British, French and neutral commerce off the face of the deep, and that there could be no doubt of ultimate, and early, German victory in the' war. Such conditions aa theae prove what an un limited, irresponsible and arbitrary censorship in time of war can do among a highly literate and intelligent people. Dollari and Cents for Merry England.
