ISSUE OF THE WAR
AS VIEWED m BUSINESS CIRCLES

Whether In love or war or ordinary
everyday transaction there is nothing
by which the issue may be more def
nitely forecasted than by the cold
blooded business opinion OF the cold
blooded business interests. This being
the case, the following on the Eastern
War situation by Henry Clews. the
Wall street banker, in his last weekly
financial review, is of special interest:
The foreign situation is practically
unchanged. Each day news is antici-
pated of another great naval battle be-
tween Russia and Japan. Russian sue
cess would cause depression, inasmuch
as it would probably prolong the war.
japanese success, on the ether hand,
would be stimulating, for the reason
that it would hasten more perfect
peace. Japan rnquestionably desires
to destroy the Russian feet and take
Vladivostok before listening to any
discussion of peace terms. Conse-
quently, oversanguine expectations of
an early termination of the war should
not be INDUCED. No uneasiness is yet
shown in Paris, although that center
is closely watched; but the French
bankers seem to have the situation
well in hand and are evidently en-
deayoring to defer the depressing ef-
fects of war upon Russian securities
until after the struggle is ended, when
selling would be less, and holdings
could be more safely distributed. As
a matter of fact, the internal dissen-
sioRs in Russia are more threatening
20 Russian securities than the war If
the latter was the only cause of de-
preston their decline would not be
very serious.
Coming from so distinguished a
source as the banking house of Henry
Clews & Co., it is easy 10 see that the
business world has not much conf
denee in ultimate Russian success,
! though 1t is not yet prepared for a
termination of hostilities. When they
are terminated, however, there seems
TO be no doubt in business circles as
to which one of the combattants will
! dictate peace terms. Japan is in the
saddle and indications are that she
will stay there.

The Destruction OF
Our Forests.

In wellwritten editorial on the
Destruction of Our Forests" the
Tampa Tribune makes some very
startling assertions regarding the re-
suits OF what i; describes as the
ruthless Gespoilation'' of the stand
ing timber of the state.
After commenting on the extent to
which the timber and turpentine in
dustries have laid bare the once heavi-
~ timbered sections of Florida and
the rate al which this work of destruc-
ton is still being pursued, the Tribune
makes the assertion that the cutting
of the forests has affected both the
climate and the rainfall of the state,
the latter having been lessened and
the former having grown colder as
the forests are cut away. The Tri-
bule then goes on to say:
The remedy is simple and would
prove effective ii enforced: Make it
penitentiary offense to cut or CIR
Ole a pine tree less than ten inches IN
clearing of land for immediate culti-
Walton. Ii is estimated by those who
have studied the situation that in five
years more at the present ratio of in
crease in the girdling and cutting the
timber of the state that the bulk of
our forests will have been destroyed
and only the memory of them will re-
main. What might prove continuing

tally destroyed. Other industries, az
riculture, horticulture, trucking and
cattle raising win be blighted by the
increased cold of winter, and parched
by the increased drouths brought about
by this criminal destruction of our
forests.
At first flush the Tribune's premises
may seem well taken and its remedy
may seem simple, but we are not sure
that the former are true or that the
latter is practicable
In the first place, taking these prop.
ositions in their reverse order, can the
legislature Or anyone else prevent a
man from doing what he pleases with
the standing timber on land that he
has bought, paid for, and, owns? Both
the land and the timber belong to him
They are his to use as he sees fit and
SO long as he does not make himself
obnoxious TO mis- neighbors or inter
fere with the rights of others, il is
very doubtful if his use of his OWL
property can be prescribed by legisla.
ton or regulated by law.
In the second place, the assertion
that the climate is growing colder and
that the water courses are drying up
as result of the destruction of the
forests would be hard proposition to
prove.

show that the climate is getting colder

TOM WATSON'S MAGAZINE.

| This is the day of sensationalism
in magazine making. Tom Lawson

financier's record by not only produc-
ing a magazine OF his own, but by
making it a tremendous success with
the very first number, the original
edition of 10000 being largely ex-
hausted within twenty-four hours after
it went on sale.
