ACUITY Cf FQHESl 



At la.st what believers in forest 

 conservation liave asked for so long 

 has happened — a man has been sent 

 to jail for three months foi- leaving 

 fii'c in a forest. Forest jji-otection is 

 as inueh a moral question as it is a 

 political or administrative question. 

 The i)ublic has for a long time be- 

 lieved that stealing a liam or setting 

 fir" to a woodshed were crimes for 

 M'bich the perpetrator should be sent 

 to jail, but that to send a man to jail 

 foi" setting fire to a foi-cst was a 

 cruel and brutal thing to do. This 

 was so, though the bui-ned woodshed 

 might be worth $r)0 and the bui-ned 

 for<'st worth $50,000, ti-ue also in 

 spite of the fact that homes and even 

 livi's might be endangered by the 

 forest fire. It is only lately that the 

 public conscience has been sufficient- 

 ly' aroused to agree that it is proper 

 to tine men for burning down forests,
