Get ye not forth into the wilder ness with thine axe and gun and there chcppeth one of our trees that thou shalt build unto thyself a house, and dwell therein; nor shalt thou build any fire to warm thou digets, broil thy bacon and stew thou beans for the morrow, lest thou burnetii up our game preserves and mosquitos. Neither shalt thou cut cordwood for thine neighbor unless thou hast first secured a dispensation and posteth a bond in lawful money of the realm. For, lo! there will come a time, sayeth the prophets, when the anoited of the land shall desire our forests to tie up in bow knots to prevent competition against the paper trusts, and to manufacture paper on which shalt be planted other and further restrictions good for the sal vation of thy soul and guiding you in the straight and narrow painway, lest thy stumble into the hands of the wardens and land in the whoosgough; for verily it is written that to him that hath, it shall be given, and to he that hath not is shall be taken away. For we are the power, and the agents of bureau cracy, the heir-apparent of conservation.
