Russian Count Declares It to Be a Religious Duty Not to Accept
Employment from Them. Would Rather Die Than Work for
Rockefeller. Tolstoi Longs for a Martyr’s~Death.
James Creelman, who recently inter
wviewed Count Leo Tolstoi at his estate,
publishes the great Russian's views in
the New York World. i
Count Tolstoi declared that Ameri
cans should starve rather than work
for John D. Rockefeller or any of the
great trusts. As for himself, he said it
was his ambition to die a martyr’s
death, and he declared he had made
earnest efforts to be hanged or at least
to be sent to prison. Tolstol had been
asked to express an opinion of Ameri
can trusts and in the course of his an
swer said:
“You talk of the trusts in America as
{f the question were important,” he
gaid. “To my mind these industrial
questions are childish. The trust and
the labor union are megely passing
phenomena. A man does not have to
five in an industrial cenfs' where hu
man slavery has been estuvlished. He
does not have to live in a city. Be
cause man has spoiled a part of the
earth is that a reason why people
should stay there and suffer? No man
should work for a man like Rockefeller.
He should prefer starvation. He
sghould consider it a religious duty to
refuse to work for a trust. Let a man
who works for a trust in America and
who seeks relief—let such a man go
{nto the country and get a small por ‘
tion of ground to cultivate. Let him ‘
give up luxuries. * Let him cease eating
meat. The cost of living will be less
than one-sixth of what it was.” |
#and if a man cannot get ground to
dig in what then?” |
“He should die rather than assist in
supporting men like Rockefeller. It is
his duty to die. If a military uniform
were put on him and he were ordered
to die he would do it proudly. For
what? For patriotism, that evil thing
avhich has done so much harm in the
world and which we should condemn
and restrict rather than defend and
spread. The trouble is that men are
not ready to die for the right thing.
“The talk about American trusts be
ing an evoluton of science is stupid.
There is no science about it. The trust
will disappear as soon as people are
prave enough to refuse to serve it A
great deal is said about the enormous
fncrease in production accomplished by
the trusts. But is such production nec
essary? Does it make the people hap
pier? No!”
“But the trust system has produced
Andrew Carnegie, and he is using his
tundreds of millions of dollars to pro
vide free libraries for the people,” 1
suggested.
“Yes:; but libraries are not necessari
1y blessings. A library of good books
48 a good thing, but a library largely
made up of bad books is a curse. I do
not understand that Mr. Carnegie fills
his libraries with good books only.
“Last year President Harper of the
University of Chicago came to see me.
He told me about the millions of dol
jars that Rockefeller had given to the
university. He seemed to think that
these millions were of great impor
tance. But when I came to talk to him
about serious matters I found him to
be really ignorant—quite 2 barbari

The matter of feed is ofi
tremendous importance to the|

Joss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get ‘
the most pork, his hens to?
get the most eggs. Science. ;
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
Scott’s Emulsion is a mixed
food ; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone

He knew less about matters of intel
lectual and moral interest than a man
might learn simply by reading the Re
view of Reviews, for instance. Think
of such a university directed by such
a man! And yet that is one of the re
gults of these trust millions.
“America is a nation absorbed in the
pursuit of money, and yet,” he folded
his arms and bent his gray head—*and
yet I will say of the Anglo-Saxon race
that those few who are religious dare
to live up to their principles. It is only
just to say that. But the Germans are
utterly without religion.
“It is a curious thing that the ordi
nary conception of the German is that
he is an idealist and of the American
and -Fnglishman that they are practi
cal. That is only an external descrip
tion. The truth is that the German is
only an idealist in words, in poetry,
while there are Americans and English
men who can be idealists in deeds.”
When the conversation was turned
upon himself Count Tolstol said: “I
have tried hard to be sent to prison or
to be hanged, but I have failed.”
“Tried to be hanged?”’
“Yes. It is the best end for a man ex
cept to be burned. Sacrifice Is the best
end.”
“Are you quite serfous?”’
The count smiled and answered: “I
have done everything to win that des
tiny. It is the ambition of my life to
die for the faith that is in me. They
who are sacrificed die well.”
“But what good could you do by be
ing hanged on a Russlan gallows?”
For a moment Tolstol was silent,
then he sighed and stroked his gray
beard.
“I am afraid you cannot understand
me,” he said. “They are about to put
up a monument to John Huss, the Bo
hemian, who was burned at the stake
for his religion in 1415.”
“But Martin Luther was not burned,
and he lived to see the Reformation
succeed.”
“Luther lived to compromise his own
principles. Huss died without compro
mise.”
“It is really hard to belieye that you
have deliberately sought to be con
demned to death.”
“It is quite true.”

One Congressman Enlightens Another as
to a Sign. ‘
Fred Landis, the attenuated Hoosler
representative who quit work to come
to congress, was lunching with friends
recentiy in the house restaurant, says
the Washington letter of the New
York Tribune. “lam sorry that we
atfe going to bave a change in the

flectively at his cup of coffee.
“Chaoge in the weather?"” repeated
Jim Griggs, the hustling Georgia man
ager of democratie congressional cam
paigns. ‘*Why, I never saw a .more
beautiful day in Washington—bright,
bracing and the sun shining so bril
liantly that we ought to be at the races
instead of listening to tariff argu
ments.’’
“‘Can’t be h-lped."” insisted Landis,
“‘we are guing Lo bave & storm. The
bubbles rising from the sugar in my
cotfee, and known to all loyal Hoosiers
as ‘lucky spots,” remain on the surface
in the center of the cup instead of sep

THE BALKAN TROUBLE.
Judge Batcheller Regards Case of
Bulgarians as Hopeless.
Judge George S. Batcheller, who cea
tinues to call Saratoga “home” despite
fifteen years of official residence in the
orient, halted long enough at the Fifth
Avenue hotel, in New York, to prepare
for his passage on the Deutschland,
outbound to his present post of duty
at Alexandria, Egypt, says the New
York Tribune. He was advanced by
President Roosevelt in 1902 to his
present place as a member of the su
preme court of appeals of the interna
tional tribunal. Speaking of the dis
orders that now so deeply involve Bul
garia, he said: ““Of course, I sympathize
with the Bulgarians. Theirs is the
same struggle that the Cubans waged
for liberty, but it is a hopeless strug
gle. The Bulgarians lack numerical
strength, they lack organization and
lack both the money and munitions of
war necessury to cope with Turkey,
which has a large army, well organ
fzed by the Germans. The Bulgarians
can only carry on a guerrilla warfare
and can make a lot of trouble for the
Turks while also making much for
themselves. The conflict will soon burn
itself out, for the reason that it is not
to the interest of the powers to con
tribute to the disintegration of the
Turkish empire. It is especially the
interest of England and Austria to
have Turkey stand as a barrier to
Russian expansion toward the Mediter
ranean.
“Much is said of the cruelties that
are practiced and in this connection it
should be understood that the eastern
peoples have not been trained in the
amenities of modern warfare. The
Bulgarians, described in general terms,
are Greek Christians. They are not
pagans, but Unitarians. They believe
in one God and regard Christ as a di
vine personage—a teacher and a proph
et. They are held together by the ties
of mutual hardships experienced in
their daily lives and in their religious
sympathies. The Turks are bound to
gether by interest and religion. No
such thing as patriotism exists among
Turks. It is my observation. however,
that Mahommedans are more telerant
than Christinns under similar condi
tions of provocation. I consider that
the Beirut matter was purely a local
affair, in which we are not called upon
to interfere any more than might some
foreign power if a riot developed in
one of our city streets. The general
feeling and inclination of western
Christian peoples that they should in
terfere in Mahommedan affairs is, in
my judgment, unjustifiable and unnec
essary. It i 3 not our business and Is
out of our sphere.”
The Latest in Hair Dressing.
The “smartest” women, married or
single, are wearing their hair low on
the neck, says the New York Press.
Some of the extremists have it sprawl
ed over the shoulders in the loosest
possible knot. The examples of Miss
Elsie Whelen, Mrs. E. Moore Robinson
and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt
may be cited. With evening gowns
these women are returning to the old
fashioned *“waterfall” of a half cen
tury ago. Soon we may see women
in public with their hair “a-hanging
down their backs.” Last summer when
Miss Schenck and Miss Roche were
their hair in plaits *“just for the fun
of the thing,” nobody took them seri
ously, but in the wake of these pig
tails has come the low coiffure. The
hairdressers are promoting this fash
ion with enthusiasm, as few women
have the art of arranging their own
low knots.
A Timely Suggestion,
This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful hougewife re
plenisbes her supply of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. It is certain to be
needed before the winter's over, and
results are more satisfactory when
it is kept at hand and given as soon
as the cold is contracted and before it
bas become settled in the system, In
almost every Instance a severe cold
may be warded off by taking this rem
edy freely as soon as the first indica
tion of the cold appears. There is no
danger in giving ivto ehildren, for it
contains no harmful substance. 1t is
pleasant to take—both acults an chil
dren like it. Buy it and you will get
the best. For sale by Dawson Drug
