The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-12-12
By WILLIAM E. JOHNSON

clamor and excitement against the lew,
Mazaryk fought almost single-handed,
going straight against public opinion. So
great was the feeling that even his own
students made a disorderly demonstra-
ton in his class room against him. They
numerically ragged" him. But he
stuck to his guns and won Justice found
herself and the Jew was released.
Mazaryk was not even acquainted with
him.
Ten years later, when Mazaryk was
member of the Rcichsrat of the Danu-
bian Monarchy, Minister Aehrenthal was
conducting a savage persecution against
certain of his political enemies among the
Southern Slavs, prosecuting them for
treason" Excitement ran high and
Aehrenthal was getting the best of it.
His victims were not constituents of
Mazaryk. They lived in distant part of
the empire and were unknown to him.
But some features of the case aroused his
suspicious and he investigated with his
usual thoroughness. At the psychological
moment, Mazaryka arose in the chamber
and threw a bombshell into the govern
ments camp, proving beyond shadow
of doubt that the basis of the Aehrenthal
prosecutions was deliberately forged
documents. Justice was again indicated.
When Mazaryk became a professor in
the University of Prague, it was popular
in the land to indulge in certain ornate

conceptions of primitive Czech national
history, the knowledge of which was
based upon two old manuscripts. To
doubt the authenticity of these docu-
ments was regarded as treachery and
sacrilege Mazaryk doubted and investi-
gated. In spite of the indignant national
clamor, he irrefutably proved that these
sacred, historic manuscripts were for
gerics. Now they are universally ac-
cepted as spurious.
His Part in War
At the outbreak of the great war, Ma
zaryk clearly saw that victory for the
Allied Powers meant the liberation of all
of the nations composing the Danubian
Monarchy. So, sojourning in other
lands, he busted himself in organizing his
people on the side of the Entente. He
faced the wrath of the government, seek
ing the liberation of the people.
These are enough of the high lights in
the career of Mazaryk to explain the
why's" asked in the early part of this
little story The people of one accord
turned to the man who had always
pulled against the current" who was not
afraid to espouse an unpopular cause,
who in one of the most drink ridden ma
tons in Europe, took up the case against
drink. He by his voluininous writings,
had educated the Czech people" and pre-
pared them for coming into their own as

Czecho-Slovakia IS wee nation, IN
area Just about the size of the state OF
Illinois. but twice the population, yet it
stands sixth in the nations OF the world
in the production of beer. 1t requires
COS breweries to meet the demands OF
thirst, or one brewery 10 about every TO-
900 of population. Besides the COS brew
cries, there are more than 200 malt
houses, 1,034 agricultural distilleries
working on wheat and potatoes, 40 in
dustrial distilleres working on molasses
and SO re6neries Pilsener beer is
known in every quarter oil the world.
With the Carlsbad where DRINKS and
victims of govt go TO boil the disease
germs out OF their bodies, with its beer
gardens everywhere, with its atmos
phere saturated with the fumes of the
brewery pots it would seem a brewery
paradise What more could the porcine
brewers ask for!
And yet, on November IA, 1918 the
first president of this new republic, born
of the Golgotha of the European war,
standing leader of the temperance forces
of Czecho- Slovakia. On May 28, 1920,
this same man was reelected TO that Of
fee for life. And DR.. Mazaryk is just
the same incorrigible leader of the dry
forces as president that he was years ago
when he was a simple college professor.
The answer TO that curious situation
The American issue. [volume] (Westerville, Ohio) 1912-19??, 1924-12-12

lies in DIR. Mazaryk himself, his character
and his record. Even those soused in the
suds would prefer trusting the destinies
OF their country to this incorrigible dry
than to trust their luck with some kept
politician of brewery overload. But
why?
OF the 13.6l3,172 inhabitants of Czecho-
Slovakia, l0384,833 are Roman Catho-
lies. 535,543 are Greek or Arminian Cath
olics, 1907 are Orthodox, 20,255 are Old
Catholics and 525,333 are adherents of
the Czecho-S lovalia church, another
form of Catholicism. And while DR..
Mazaryk was born and reared Catholic,
he abandoned that church i'll his early
manhood and allied himself with a small
Protestant body. And yet this same al
most unanimously Catholic country,
when they selected the George Washing
ton OF their new republic, chose this re
ligious renegade" Why?
Wins Case for Justice
In 1900, a young girl was found MUIR
dered in a forest near Polna. A Jew
named IilSner was charged with the
murder. He was accused of using the
blood OF the girl for ritual purposes He
was not only charged, but convicted and
sentenced. Some one asked Mazaryk
what he thought of it. This prompted
him TO make a study of the case. He
formed the opinion that an injustice had
been done and, in spite of the public

years OF practical experience in the
woods. The early estimators and
also the majority OF timber buyers Of
today are men who first worked in
timber helping TO cut down trees
and saw them into logs and with
good knowledge Of what a certain
woodlot will saw out at the mill,
their judgement became trained so
that they are able TO guess with
fair degree OF accuracy as to the
contents OF the timber standing on
a particular tract. These men are
sometimes called timber lockers,
for about all they did was to walk
through the timber and look it over
and then state the amount of lumber
or cordwood that 1t would produce.
These early methods r were good
enough when standing timber had
but little value and was often sold
by the acre.
"The principles OF timber esti-
mating as they apply to the average
farm woodlot are easily learned and
does not require a long experience
in the woods, neither are the prin-
ciples too technical for the woodlot
owner to execute.
There are many methods of es-
timating standing timber, any OF
them will give with assurance when
carefully carried out the contents
of stands of timber usually within
at least 5 per cent to Is per cent
OF the actual amount"

How to Measure
Timber Progressive
Extension Project

The work of teaching the farmers
OF Maine to estimate the amount OF
timber on their woodlot is fast be-
coming one of the greatest projects
in Extension Work according to rec
ords of NJ. r. Watson. Forestry
Specialist. Throughout the past fall
and winter, free demonstrations have
been held by Mr.. Watson and various
county agents in practically every
section of the State. In addition to
that, the Forestry Specials has a
full schedule through the summer
and fall up into the winter where
he will be in different communities
throughout Maine teaching farmers
timber estimating.
In speaking of the great interest
IN the work, Mr.. Watson says: "A
knowledge OF the amount of stand
ing timber on a given tract is most
desirable for proper forest manage
ment and for cutting and selling
timber. Since the product taken
from the woodlot has real value, the
question may very properly arise:
How can I estimate the value of my
timber LOTT
1t Is quite common In many parts
Of this State to hear of timber be-
ing sold by the piece, or by the acre,
without any refereRce whatever to
the amount of lumber or cordwood
there Is in the woodlot. and regard
less of the value of the product in
the market. Very often a portable
saw mill outfit passes through a
community; the woodlot owner who
perhaps needs to raise little money
hears of IL and offers his timber for
sale, or perhaps a timber buyer. one
who knows the value OF timber has
noticed a good piece of timber and
approaches the owner with an offer.
AS a result the timber is sold much
less than MS really worth. simply
