EXCITED WRATH OF DICKENS
Great Writer, at His Best, Denounced
Public Haneines, Which Were
DISGRACE to EnaIish Law.


Charles Dickens, at the time of the
execution of Manning and his wife for
the murder of Patrick O'COnnOr, was
at his. fullest power as a writer. In
letter to the London Times he wrote
II believe that sight so incOnceiv-
ably awful as the wickedness and levi
ty of the immense crowd collected at
the execution this morning could be
imagined by no man, and presented by
no heather land under the sun. The
horrors Of the gibbet and the crime
which brought the wretched murderers
to it faded in my mind before the
atrOcious bearing, looks and language
Of the assembled spectators. When l
came upon the scene at midnight the
shrillneSs of the cries and hOwlS that
were raised from time to time, denOt-
ing that they came from a concourse
Of boys and girls already assembled in
the best places, made my blood run
cold. When the two miserable crea-
lures who attracted all this CHASTITY
sight about them were turned culver
ing into the air, there was no more
emotion, no more pity, no more thought
that two immortal souls had gone to
judgment, no more restraint in any Of
the previous Obscenities, than if the
name of Christ had never been heard
in this world, and there were no belief
among men but that they perish like
the beasts"

Lao-tsze Wrote Gospel of Taolsm.

LaO-tsze wrote the gospel of TaOism,
from whose pages an immense re-
ligiOn grew up. Having been librarian
Of a Chinese king, and having much
time for meditation, he came after
many years to the conclusion that hu-
mility was the supreme virtue. He
resigned, and desired to hide in Sc
clusiOn. While passing through the
gate of the palace on his way to soil
tude the warder besougbt him: You
are about to withdraw yourself from
the world. l pray you write me a
book before you GO"
LaO-tsze thereupon sat down and
wrote a book about half the size Of
st. Marks gospel. He gave this to
the warder, passed through the gate
and no man knows where he died.
The little book is the gospel of Tao
ism. The word '"Tao" means way
man Of destiny. The advice was that
men should become like little chill
dren and act without reflection.

DISAPPEARING FoREsTs

In the annual report Of ". B.
Greeley. chief forester Of the United
States, emphasis is laid upon two facts
that demand the attention Of the en-
tire country. One is that three-hfths
Of the virgin forests Of the United
States have been cut and 50 have dis
appeared. and the other is that the
country's annual demand for timber
is four times as large as its annual
production Attention is called also
70 the immense tracts Of burned-oyer,
denuded and utterly improbable for
est lands that should be reclaimed
and devoted 10 useful purposes. To
meet the situation Colonel Greeley rec
ommends federal legislation which. he
saws. should recognize the principle
that, because of the foresight neces-
sary TO meet future national needs,
the pubIic's interest in the forest lands
is comparable 10 its interest in the
proper handling Of a public utility,
and the further principle that, since
the production of timber is an eco
nomic process. the requirements inn
posed by the public on owners Of for
ests must be equitable and practicable
from a business point of view. Bad
as Colonel Greeley's report shows the
nations timber situation TO be, 1t re-
vesls little that is new. The eneour-
aging feature is that the public and
the public's representatives are COM
ing to recognize the seriousness Of the
situation and that in congress as well
as in various state legislatures active
measures Of improvement are under
consideration. For scientific. econom-
ic and all other reasons the public
must hope that the wisest of these
measures speedily will be put in
force.
