Russia's Forest Lands.

Though Russia's forest lands are
vast in extent, she has recently adopt
ed stringent measures for protecting
them against the indiscriminate incur
sions Of the ak.
Wherever trees are cut down they
must be Immediately replenished by
young plants, unless it can be shown
that the area is already so thlckly
covered with trees as to interfere
with healthy forest growth.
Each locality Or district into which
the forest lands are divided is placed
under rigid supervision and no viola
ton Of the forest laws is permitted to
escape punishment.
Similar measures should be adopted
in this country, where Our forest
lands are being rapidly denuded with
the result that re are subjected to
great danger not only III the loss OF
incl and timber, but also in the risks
to which we are exposed at the hands
of cyclones and floods.
Each year the necessity Of stringent
measures for protecting our forest
lands is becoming more and more I'M
Derative, and we cannot do better
than to initiate the ,erecautlon OF Rus
STA.

McLAURIN LOSES SUIT.
Suit in United States Court Ends in
Verdict Against Former Sena-
tor For S4I,63e.26.

In the United States circuit court in
Charleston a verdict for S4I,o5o.2o
was found against ex-senator john
/. McLaurin in the suit of the Inter
national Trust company Of Baltimore
On a promissory note, the verdict be-
5ne found by the jury upon the in
strucions of the court.
The suit grows out Of the indus
trial ventures in which the eS-sena-
Tor engaged upon the termination OF
his career in congress. AS president
of the Brunswick and Birmingham
railroad and vice-president OF the
Brunswick and Western Construction
company, Mr.. McLaurin gave his per-
sonai notes to the trust company, be-
Sne endorsed however. by Frank \.
UmsteGt. who appears to have been
>o7c Of the promoters OF the projects
with which the ex-senator was con-
1ec:ed. The industrial concerns
seem to have been more on paper
than in fact, but the notes OF Mr.. Nc
laurin were valid, even if the indus
trial projects were a fraud and tall
.17e. and now the court orders that
Mr.. McLaurin shall make good the
araount of his notes. The plaintiff
sued for S43,S62.7o, but there is a BAL
anoe to the credit Of Mr.. McLaurln
and in instructing the jury on It's YER
dict the court took cognizance OF this
credit sum.
Mr.. McLaurin took the stand tes-
4ifying in his W behalf. His tes-
aimony and that Of Douglass H. Cor
don. the president OF the trust com
pany, were the only evidence submitted
at the hearing. The ex-senator seem
ed unable to prove any fraud on the
part of the making of the note to the
trust company, at least as far as the
trust company was concerned.
At the conclusion Of his testimony,
She defense closed its case, and the
counsel for the plaintiff moved the
striking out of all testimony OF MT,
McI.aurin and the cross-eNamlnatlon
81 President Gordon and moved the
finding Of a verdic: for the plaintiff
Arguments on the motion were made

ing the crimes pf the past are seen to be of smaller size as this awakening realizes the magnitude of CIie present dayis legal crimes.
 : The burning of the witches at Salem, horrible as it loJks from this point of view, would be as naught when conn pared with the awful slaughter of
 human life to cOn dollars for the "Financiers.n And when the Socialist says that this coining of hnpan blood into dollars shall cease, you ask how we are going to pay this criminal for the. privilege he has usurped. f.
 Suppose we suggest tliat he be in- demnifed in the same manner that we indemnify any other Criminal found guilty of crime.
 The Socialist says there is only. one way this crime can be stopped and that is to stop it. Perhaps you can give suggestions as to how, yourself. It must be stopped in order that the next step in human evolution may be re- corded. FRANK A. MAREK.

Socialist Column

"I have been reading your articles in the PRESS for some time, l have also read Introduction to Socialism by RiCh- ardsOn. 1 am convinced that some thing must be done and believe that the Socialist plan is effective, but how are you going to indemnify the present holders of what you call natural re- sources. 1 think society should pay them for what. they have if society means to take possession of 1t. l will appreciate your answer. B.. A. L."
 You appear, Mir. L., to agree that Society, as a whole, should own the means of. production and distribution provided that a means to ,indennify the present claimants can be found. Professor Ely says that in hls opinion it will never appear to the conscience of the American people as just thing to return the earth to whom it belongs. Francis A. Walker says: "It would simply be robery for the state to re- assert it's interests in the land without fully indemnifying owners" And then argues that to indemnify would be "impracticle;" would lead to "'corrup- tion" and in effect that it would be better to give up the earth to those who claim it. Soyou are not alone in talking about indemnifying the claim ents of the resources of nature there are many others besides those I quote. These claiments have posessed.them- selves of the social heritage in various ways and have for long time enjoyed the unearned benefits because of their possessions. They have compelled the landless worker to pay tribute to them to the full limit of what they could produce above cost of living. And this for ages without rendering anything in exchange. And now shall we talk about indemnifying them to induce them to loosen their grip on the toiler's throat?
The Imperial press., 1905-02-11

Wh3 will indemnify the disjnhurited ? How. shall society. be indemuitied for the awful blood and ca,nqge occasioned, by the oppressed struggling for liberty.
 Indemnifying for the needless poverty and starvatfon. Suffering and death of tire helpless women and children for a single year of the past would bark rupt the capitalism of the earth But we need not speak of the past Today's crime, the murder, arson, suicide, islander, theft, hatred, sta, vaton, woe and misery; tlie awful groan of the race for this day alone, caused by. the private ownership of the earth IS be- yomd the power of man to calculate if it were to be measured in dollars.
 How shall we indemnify, you ask2 ask you how shall we bribe the ordi- nary criminal to cease his depredatons and if you. .c;tnnot bribe the beneiiceEies of train roberies to quit, how can you expect the benefceries of the crimes committed legally to cease by attempt ing to indemnify them. ,
 It is an easy matter for us to talk about buying from the' possessing class the position they hold between the working class ahd their means of life. But what assurance have we that they will sell and if they should sell that they will allow the working class to retain what they have ibought.
 You may depend upon it the possess ing class well not sell a single point Of vantage that the working class does not develop the power to- force them, to give up. ,hj
