It contained the following: and straddled on the question of protection, "And we are here today . . . to celebrate the annual opening of Yellowstone park, the largest and most far-fame-d of our nntlonal parks, a wooded wilderness of three thousand three hundred square Jnlles, containing Incomparable waterfalls, more geysers thun are found In the rest of the world all put together, Irrigated by rivers like miniature lakes, and beautified by lakes like Inland seas, carved by canyons of sublimity, decorated with colors defying the painter's art, punctured with Innumerable boiling springs whose steam mingles with fleecy clouds, stuccoed with vnst areas of petrified forests, a sanctuary of safe retreat for feathered songsters and wild beasts, a wonder-land, playground, sanitarium and university all In one, where the eye feasts upon the riotous colors of flowers, ferns and rocks; the ear Is surged with the symphony of melodious sounds; the mind Is sated with a thousand revelations of truth and beauty, and the Jaded body, weary w'h the trudge of thought and toil and travel, ungtrds for song and dance beneath the shadows of the everlasting hills. "Yellowstone history Is replete with crises where the friends of the park and the park Idea have bad to fight with a heroism worthy Its ex-plorers and discoverers to retain It Intact against the bold and presumptuous claims of the advo-cates of special privilege, determined to commer-cialize this land of wonder, to build railroads through It, tunnel Its mountains, dam Its Iskes and streams, and secure stranglehold monopolies with small compensation to the government and total loss to the people. "And regardless ot all facts and figures, appeals and threats, therefore, any plan, however inert torlous on Its face, for the commercial exploita-tion of parks must by the very nature of Its alms and purposes be Immediately doomed to failure. "Good projects, bad projects, Indifferent proj-ects, all must face the snroe fate, for It Is at last estahllshed policy of the government that our national parks must and shall forever be main-tained In absolute, unimpaired form, not ftnly for the present, but for all time to come, a policy which has the unqualified support of President Hunting. "This Is the fixed policy of the administration, end I can assure you It will not he modified. It Will not be swerved a hair's breadth by any !r.flu- - ence, financial, political or otherwise. "If rights ure granted to one clalmnnt, others must follow, go a precedent must not he estab-lished. It would Inevitably ruin the entire national park system." Doctor Hill might have been more definite ln the matter of the attacks by commercial Interests upon Yellowstone. Since early In WYM It has required Increasing vigilance and aggressive or-ganized effort on the rart of the vast army of national park enthusiasts to defeat these attacks. During the winter and spring of l'jl!0 the Sixty-sixt- h congress nearly passed the Smith bill cre-ating a commercial Irrigation reservoir In the southwest coiner of Yellowstone for the benefit of Idaho. And It did pass the water power bill grunting to a coiiunlsKUin poer to :sase public waters. Including those the nallonul l arks and monuments, for water power. hold-ing thnt power nnd Irrigation development in the national parks should be only "on specific author-ization of congress, the works to be constructed and controlled by the federal government." There-upon Senator Walsh proposed a new bill providing that the United States reclamation service should build nnd operate the Yellowstone lake dam. The defenders of the park proved that the dam could be built to greater advantage outside the park. In 1922 the upholders of the parks won a victory by electing Scott Leavltt In Montana to congress over Jerome Locke, originator of the dam project The final result of the fight was thai the Sixty-sevent- h congress adjourned March 4, 1923, leav-ing the Walsh dam tn the committee's pigeonholes. Efforts to revive It are expected In the Slxty-elght- h congress. During these three years another victory of great Importance along the same line was the smothering In committee of the All-Ye- National park bill, personally drafted and sponsored by Secretary Fall. This bill created a national park In the Mescalero Indian reservation In New Mex-ico out of several Insignificant spots widely sep-arated, plus an Irrigation and power reservoir ninety miles away. It would have Introduced both water power and Irrigation Into the national park system. There was a nation-wid- e protest against this bill. In which New Mexico Itself took an active part The bill Is too dead, It Is believed, to be resuscitated. A third victory called nation-wid- e attention to another danger that threatened and still threat-ens the national parks. The victory was the de-feat of the Slemp bill creating the Appalachian National park out of a Virginia mountain top. It was opposed on the ground that the areu was below the proper national park quality. It was favored by Secretary Fall, who ln his report to the public lands committee said that his policy was to substitute a wide-ope- recreational park system of many small playgrounds for our his-toric national park system. .The late Franklin K. Lane, as secretary of the Interior In 1918, nailed down this plank ln the national park platform: In studying new park projects you should seek to find "scenery of suproma nnd distinctive quality or sums natural fcaturs so extraordinary or unique n to be of national Interest and Importance . . ." The nntlonal park system as now constituted should not be lowered In standard, dignity and prtstlif.) by the Inclusion of areas which express In lens than the highest terms the particular class or kind of exhibit which they represent President Harding was the first president to an-nounce publicly a general administration policy of absolute conservation for the national parks system and for all of Its units. Both ;:IH,sevelt and Taft were good friends of the national parks, but preservation against commercial Invasion was not a question In their days. President Wilson. In his first term, signed the Hetch Ilctchy bill giving San Francisco the wafer supply reservoir In Yosemlte which has Just been completed; Its secret water power purpose was not then gen-erally understood. President Wilson, however, stood by the national parks loyally and powerfully In the fight to exempt them from the Jurisdiction of tho water power commission. President Harding, in unnotiLcing this udmiu Istrntlon policy, was not anticipating a popular de-mand so much as answering it. The truth Is that the American people have within the last Hirer years adopted our nineteen national parks as a part of their conception of the greatness of their nntlon. "Hands off!" applies to the national parks as well as to Old Glory. They are eager to defend them nnd to keep them invh late. And they have developed organized strength through the affiliation of a dozen or so nation-wid- e organ Izntlons to see that congress shall legislate wisely concerning the national ptirks. The announce ment of the conRervntlon policy was received with nation-wid- e delight. The national park enthtisl asts hoped that the conservation policy would he broadened to uphold Secretary Lane's Important plank Yellowstone also gets Into the limelight this season because President Harding paid It a two days' visit on his way to Alaska. The President's party went In and out through the north entrance and did about 150 miles of motoring In seelm: various points of Interest. On the Continental Divide they drove through snowbanks. The Pres-ident went yachting on Yellowstone lake tin dammed. He saw many wild animals a:fl fed gingerbread and molasses to a black bear and her cub. He saw the Painted Terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. Old Fuithful geyser spouted ITiO feet Into the air every sixty-fiv- e minutes for him as It does for every visitor. The photograph reproduced herewith shows the President and Mrs. Harding, under escort of Superintendent Hor-ace M. Albright, viewing from Artist Point the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone nnd the Lower Falls. The President ws visibly Impressed by the sight one of the grandest and most beau-tiful ln the world. Just sixty-thre- e years 1S071S70 were re quired to put Yellowstone on the map; the Ameri-can people simply wouldn't believe there was any such place. The Lewis and Clark expedition of 1S04-- passed close by it, but the Indians never mentioned It, considering It the abode of "Kvll Spirits," who punlthpd all talk about them. John Colter, a member of the party who went back to trap beaver, discovered It ln 1S07. Upon his return to St. Louis In 1S10 the ople dubbed It "Colter's Hell" and laughed him and his tale out of court. James Hrldger rediscovered It about 1S2S and tho. public said "Just another of Jim lirldger's 'big yarns.'" The gold prospectors o) 1S02 described It and were set down as liars, i took the Washhurn-Lnngfor- expedition of 1870 t make the people believe In Its wonders. The mema, hers of Unit expedition were for g the nceiile points and making their fortunes, "cor-nellti-s Hedges rebuked them nnd proposed the national park plan the first In all history. The park was established by act of congress In 1S72 and Yellowstone celebrated Its last fall. Yellowstone contains 3,318 square miles 3 111 In Wyoming, In Montana and VA In h'nn. Pig ns It is, the plan Is to enlarge It by the addi-tion of many square miles to the south the Jack-son Hole country, which "contain Jackson lake and the Teton mountain and Is a natural part ot the park.

EDISON-FOR- D PLAN'S ATTACK ON INTEREST Abolition of Rent No More Plausi-ble Than Abolition of Pay on Loans, Expert Shows. It is no more unreasonable to pay In-terest on a loan of money than to pay rent on a house, declares William T. Foster, Director of the Pollack Foundation for Economic Research, in exposing the fallacy of the attack on interest charges by Henry Ford , and Thomas A. Edison in their commodity money scheme to do away with the present financial system. Mr. Foster argument Is reviewed in the present article which la one of a series pre-pared by the American Bankers Asso-ciation. "The Ford-Ediso- n commodity money plan is regarded as a step toward the abolition of all interest charges," Mr. Foster says. " 'Interest,' says the Dearborn Independent, 'is a tax that tew ancient tyrants would have dared Impose. Interest ln actual modern practice Is a contrivance whereby all production Is taxed by parasites, and whereby money Is given a supremacy over men, material and management which it cannot sustain.' Renting Money ( "But is there really anything more terrible about paying for the use of money than about paying for the use of anything else? Suppose a farmer finds himself ln need of a harvesting machine, and without enough money to buy one. In that case he can either borrow a machine of Neighbor .Brown or borrow money and buy a machine. The farmer would consider it right to pay ln some way for the use of the machine. Why should he expect to borrow money which is honored in the markets in payment for the same machine without paying for the use of the money? ' "Now let us suppose that the farm-er uses the machine so successfully that he saves a thousand dollars. With that money he can buy a farm and be can let Neighbor Brown have the use of it. Neighbor Brown natu-rally would expect to pay rent. In-stead of buying the farm, however, he could lend the thousand dollars to his neighbor In order that his neighbor might buy the farm. In that case Neighbor Brown should expect to pay tor the rent of the money. All this seems clear. When the transactions are as simple as these It is plain that there Is just as great propriety ln charging for the use of money as in charging for the use of things that money will buy. Loaned Money Builds a School "We may assume, however, that the fanner does not want to buy land and Neighbor Brown does not want to borrow money. In that case the farmer deposits his thousand dollars in a bank and the bank pays him in-terest for the uBe of his money. But the bank can pay Interest only If It makes profitable use of his money. Now the bank finds that the city needs a high-scho- building, and has decided to borrow enough money to construct it. In order to obtain the money the city has issued bonds, each of which is a promise to pay one thou-- ' and dollars at a specified date, and interest In the meantime at a specified rate. The bank buys one of these bonds. Thus the farmer has had a part in providing the city with a school building; and the farmer has just as much right to expect Interest for the use of his money as though be bad loaned the money directly or in-directly to Neighbor Brown." A True Story," We're Told. A contractor was busy ln a smalt New York village laying out a con-crete road. In front of one home where he was Inspecting the work was an observant old lady, watching the men place the reinforcing steel ln the concrete. The addition of the wire mesh greatly Impressed her. 'Tea, William," she later told one of the villnge trustees In telling him about the reinforcement, "now I know why concrete pavements are so easy to ride on. This morning I watched them lay the bed springs In the con-crete." Oxyacetylene Pantograph. An adaptation of the pantograph to the oxyacetylene flame Is one of the latest efforts to control mechanically that powerful agent for cutting cold metal. According to the Scientific American, the pantograph has an elec-trically driven wheel that follows the pattern nnd both advances the cutting flame at a given rate, depending on the thickness of the metal, nnd guides the flame accurately either In straight or In curved lines.

Some are savings bank deposit-ors; some have shares in building and loan associations; some have bought a liberty bond; some bave ordered a stock of goods for their store. All of them, without knowing It, have per-formed a great miracle, for they have turned the work of their hands or their brains Into a new product which, while It helps them, Is helping thou-sands of others. Every one of them is a capitalist as most of us are un-less we are tramps or paupers or ne'er do wells and we may well be proud ot the name. For capitalism, Instead of being the devilish Inven-tion of a few selfish interests, la the great material force that has lifted millions from poverty, degradation and slavery. Like other human Institutions, capi-tal can be abused. So, too, can eye-sight and health and education and love. Part of America's great Job Is to remedy md prevent such abuses. Sane people, however, do not cut off their feet to get rid of their corns. Capital Is today's surplus. It Is what gives us a better start tomorrow than we had today. If we don't save It, we don't have It, and when we have it, it U useless until It g put to work. i If thrift Is right, then it Is right ' that people should acquire funds as the result of their industry and l. Ilut money that la merely hoarded Is like water that becomes Btagnant; It Is harmful, not helpful When money Is put to work, It is Ilk water power; It turns the wheels of Industry, Increases employment and raises the general level of comfort. When every producer can create a surplus and that surplus can be gath- ered In'.o a common fund and put to work for the commoL good we shall bave reached nn Ideal condition.
