COMPENSATION INSURANCE
FURNISHED
To. the Editor: The creation of the
State Park Commission by the last
legislature is a step toward the pre
servation of wild land, beauty spots
and places of historic interest in Con
necticut for the use of the whole peo
ple.. Not many years ago the public
was indifferent to the matter, inas
much as there seemed to be an abun
dance of such land and the owners
thereof were not disposed to prevent
the public frommaking use of it.
To-day the situation is changea.
These lands have been largely bought
by wealthy people and the publie use
thereof restricted, if not altogether
prohibited. There are many tracts
of land, of little use for other pur
poses, which have been for years the
playgrounds of the people, but which
have now become the private prop
erty of residents of other states.
Our people welcomed such -acqui
sitions when they were comparatively
Lfew in number, but they have so in
creased as to alarm those who see in
this development a menace - to the
public good. It looks as though it
would be but a very few years before
the sest of such tracts would be be
yond the hope of public acquisition
without heavy expense and prolonged
litigation, if indeed that condition has
not already arrived. . , , . . -
The effort to save the state from
this undesirable situation has taken
the shape of an appointment of a
State .'Park Commission, with powers
to, purchase or receive by gift, prop
erties which should be preserved for
their-aesthetic or historic interest.. '
Unfortunately, the impoverished
condition of the State's treasury pre
vented an adequate appropriation being-made
for the use of the Commis
sion. It is therefore not in a posi
tion to acquire by purchase any large"
ui ejtpeiiaive tracus, no matter now
desirable they ' may be. However,
the power -vested in the Commission
of receiving gifts and devices in' be
half of the State affords a . splendid
opportunity for public-spirited, men
and women' to become benefactors for
all time of the. people of Connecticut'
and nearby states. ' " ' "
Already one such gift . has been
made. The top of Mt. 'Tom, near
West Morris, Xiitchneld . County,.was
recently deeded to the State for park
purposes by the estate of the late
Chas- H. Senff of New York City. - It
is now in charge of the State Forester
pending transfer to the Commission.
There are undoubtedly many others
who are in a position to assist in the
work of preserving for the use of
present and future generations the
many points of natural beauty and
historic association . in which the
State abounds. This object max' be
attained by gift, or bequest to the
Park Commission, which by tho per
manent character of its organization
assures the donors that their wishes
will be properly and effectively car
ried out. .
The names of the members of the
Commission are given below and com
munlcations may be addressed to any
of them.

ALL ULSTER IS READY
TO FIGHT IF HOME
RULE BILL IS PASSED
New York, Dec., 23: According to
the Duke ot Manchester, who arrived
yesterday on board the George Wash
ington, if the Home RTile 'bill is passed
in Great Britain all Ulster will be
turned dntb an armed camp;
"They have been preparing for this
for a long time," said -the Duke. "There
are 100,000 Orangemen enrolled now
and 80,000 are armed and trained. If
home rule becomes a fact there will
be war. I think, however, there will
be a compromise.
A Protestant can have no voice
now in the government in the South
of Ireland. We are determined that
no such condition shall prevail in the
North. Sir William Carson's army
will be ready to uphold the rights of
the Orangemen.
"This whole affair is a matter of
religious opinion. The feeling ia there,
has been for centuries and it cannot
be eradicated."
The Duke said that if there were
trouble in the North of Ireland he
would return at once and join the
Orange army.
