There is no other park in the world like this. A narrow trail, just «ride enough for one person at a time, leads up the slope on one side of the canyon, gradually des cending to the bottom, along which runs a purling brook.

H ow to K ill C orruption. W e need to Inject a little old fashion ed honesty Into the hearts of folks. In the universal fever for money getting some of us have lost sight of the land- m arks of common integrity and fair dealing as between man and man. There will never be any marked abate ment of the corruption complained of until the people, and especially those who pose as leaders of the people, let the gambling virus die out of their veins. Too many men are following the un just and erroneous Idea of getting some thing for nothing. In plain words, this Is disboneaty. No man has any right to that for which he does not render an equivalent. W hen he takes It he robs somebody else. It Is this that Is at the bottom of the rottenness In municipal life. The upas tree of corruption has Its roots in greed. The thing th at makes a robbing trust at one end, which preys off the people of a nation, makes u bribe giving corporation at the other end, which debauches a city govern ment. The only way perm anently to get rid of corruption Is to educate the pub lic conscience, to hold up the stand ards of national, municipal and Indi vidual honor.
