If dependence is to be placed upon reports Crom Russia, the greatest man that country has produced is on his death-bed. Count Lyon Tolstoy Is on of the towering figures of the country and of the worrd. says the Tacoma Ledger. s To obtain the truth concerning any thing Russian Is matter of exceed ing difficulty. This peculiarity Is hard to understand. There Is a censorship that seems to pervade the kingdom of the cur. Some have defied this cen sorship without adding to the sum of human knowledge. "Even George Ken tiaa, whose articles brought him fame and money, was guilty of exaggera tion most gross. The pictures that tatve been ptJnted of Russia have been In garish colors, untrue to life .there. - Tt Is certain that Russia has at tained a high degree of civilisation. In letters It has advanced so that the European scholar feels that he must be familiar with the Russian language. In philosophy and science the Russian has won an enviable place. The cause of education has been greatly advanc ed. Of the general social condition little Is known. There are millions of Russian subjects little uplifted from state of savagery, but blindly wor shiping the etar. To his people the word of this potentate is final, and this applies to all hut the plotting an archist .' . " For such progress as Russia has made to Tolstoy, more than to any other Individual, belongs the credit. A man of gigantic mind and high culture; an original thinker, and from the deeps of his nature the friend of Justice and equality, he has become the central figure of a new and bet ter Russia He is an old man now, and has known an active life. He has been a soldier, the horrors of war having been depicted in his books with the toucfa of the absolute master. He is the Incarnation of kindness, but for firmness of principle a very rock. He has not hesitated to write and de claim against the government and the church. To another, such a course might have meant exile, but to Tol stoy it has never been more than a threat to which he paid no heed. To be sure, the church went through the , . ,,; v, iK form of excommunicating mm. About .u, a ... r . this he cared nothing. He was above its creeds and it, rites, and he had;"" " ' "T' " ' cast it off. The mummery of It dis- J rusted him, and for its approval he never sought. To the common mind Tolstoy seems almost a mythical character, the em bodiment of lofty sentiments, an ideal raised out of the noblest yearnings of souls that struggle upward toward liberty and light. So small a matter as the spelling of his name remains in doubt The ordinary printers spell it thus:- Tolstoi. The author himself in "The Resurrection," one of his lat est and strongest studies for his books are not idle tales says that the spelling should be thus: Tolstoy. This statement appears in a fac simile of his own chlrography and may be re garded as final. Whether or not the author and phil osopher be taken this time, his race is nearly run, for the burden of years lies heavy upon Mm. - It has been a grand race, devoted to humanity. Young Russia will cherish his mem ory fondly and 'the intelligence of the motion will realize that it is Tolstoy who, more than armies marched with banners, has lifted Russia to a place among the powers of the world, has developed' ita final instincts, taught It love of freedom, made It to under stand the rights of man made in the Image of Ood. Tolstoy, is the foe of oppression, the advocate of peace, the missionary of ' justice. Long he wrought In a field that seemed barren, but he lived f te' see the seed of his planting blossoming In the' promise of a finer beauty to come, and to hear the voice of the peopW calling ' the sower blessed. Satisfaction at the -treaty between England and Japan was general In this country. It was regarded aa an assurance of peace In the Far Bast. It was also considered as a guaranty that China would not be given over to spoliation. Designs held by Russia were believed to be sinister and its tightening grasp upon Manchuria but the forerunner of extended dominion. There is not such confidence In Rus sia as to promote the desire for its ex pansion. There does not exist for It a love suggesting to other nations that with their interests they appease the appetite of the bear. Had Eng land n t intervened, a conflict be tween Russia and Japan must have been only a matter of time, -with the outcome problematical. It Is tired of selfish aggression. The est of civil isation has awakened to a sense of the wisdom of fair play. Japan with England behind it is a different power from Japan standing alone. The combination will be able to dictate to Russia, and so long as there is no tendency to dictate anything but the pursuit of an honest course, other na tions cannot object, and, as a rule, they will be pleased. That the gov ernment of the United States has made to Rusia an expression showing sympathy with the new compact will be a mater of surprise. Not but this reflects the sentiment of the country, but that there had seemed no occasion for It Now that the administration has done this, the fact will be con ceded that the inner circles of diplo macy were in position to know best The note is firm and dignified. It will certainly have the effect of adding strength to an alliance that already seems to have enough strength to be effective. It virtually Joins this gov ernment with England and Japan, for there is no mistaking the declaration of full sympathy with the purposes of the alliance. If ' Russia had enter tained thought of defying the treaty nations, it will be apt to think again, and refrain. The treaty promotes di rectly the cause of peace. The moral support of the United States accentu ates the potency of the promotion. It Is a warning to Russia Whether or not Russia needed this may be questioned, but it can do no . harm, and perhaps it is well to let the world know where we are. There is something worthy of reflec tion In Andrew Carnegie's declaration tt the Authors' Club reception that no European power would ever dare pro voke the United States to war, because it would thereby shut itself off from our export food products and tlrus starve Itself out in short order. With some allowance for the Carnegie su perabundance of zealous American Ism, It is quite true that the United States comes pretty near to "feeding the whole world," but even If the lat' est statistics should prove beyond ; cavil that the naval powers of the i j Eastern hemisphere would starve ' If your stomach doesn't digest your I eventually if cut off from our foodfood you are n1' starving. Kodol i 1 Dvsrnrftfa Pnm drM that 4fnmarVi r"' sul" .u - jly Warrant the Carneffie concIusl.on that for the8e reasons we do not re- nuire a navy and are therefore simply i 1 , Vw.-, n r. att-ai. wner s.n Va s.mAt. fleet of warships that we are build- : ing. Suppose we were to sell all our warships and stop all naval construc tionthen, in the event of war and an embargo on food exports, what would hinder "'starving Europe" from invading our shores and helping it self to our grain and bacon? This Carnegie program has more weak spots in it than the armor-plates that his company makes for our warships. Let us keep on for a while, anyway. building the ships and buying the armor-plate. "This is how Dr. Max NorJau ac counts for the hatred jf England lu Europe: 'The result of five hun dred years of EngllHh history is the mastery of the seas, the possession of the greatest colonial empire the world has ever seen, the astonishing expansion of the Anglo-Saxon race, and the resentful hatred of the na tions from whom England has once or oftener had to exact respect for the English flag, or whom she has had to drive from the sea or various shores." An account has been published in Berlin' of the average number of letters daily received by European sovereigns. The pope breaks the record, as his daily average of letters and papers reaches the enormous number of 22, 000 to 23,000. Thirty-five secretaries are kept fully employed with his holi ness' correspondence. King Edward must find Ms dally quota of soe tbou sand letters and three thousand news papers a heavy tax on his attention. The czar and the German emperor re- celve from six hundred to seven hun dred a day; the emneror, ,tt to an sae many himself. -The king 0." Italy gels Ave' hundred, and the young ruren of Holland it ruffles under the dilw burden of between on hundred and one hundred and fifty letters. THE GHOST Of our bovhood resolved itself to an old tree when" we had courage to examine it. Manhood h.w its jfhosts, which, to the man who has-courajte to confront them, prove to he ns harmless as the ghosts of t bovhood. One of the ghosts which scare ghost to be very harmless. In eases almost innu- mentble "weak" limes have been made strong, ob stinate coughs stopped, and bronchial affec tions cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. And these cures have been wrought in many case after the doctor had said "There is no help for you." Don't give in to the superstition of a past age. Give the "Golden Medical Discovery a fair and faithful trial. It always helps. It almost always cures.
