cepted the nomination on a proposition
of fusion he has absurdly stultified HIM
self in view of his vengeful denuncia-
ton OF fusion and fusionists in the past,
as shown by quotations from his public
speeches. A man so inconsistent has no
business in the governors office.
He is making the race for the rover
norship as an enemy of corporations. yet
four years ago, in response to a request
from the state democratic committee, he
is alleged to have written a letter ex-
planning why he could not take the
stump for Bryan and free silver. giving
as a reason that the Northern Pacific
Railroad company, whose attorney he
was at the time, might not approve of
such action on his part!
If Mr.. Toole wrote such a letter. and If
it is still in existence. he will have a
hard time explaining to the workingmen
of Montana how much he loves them
and what sacrifices he would make for
sake.

composition. Even then the conditions
under which they were composed and the
subjects of which many of them treat are
SO far from ordinary American observa-
ton is to be somewhat puzzling at times
to the careless reader.
Count Talstoi is now seventy-two years
old. He has always been a positive char
acter. He has always been an honest
and courageous man. Yet he has time
and again changed his opinion of the
most vital truths Of the universe. He has
always written as he believed at the
time. In his religious experiences he has
run the gamut from almost atheism to
the simplest and most loveable faith.
From this it may be seen that one who
has read but one of his books does not
know the author.
The book which has made the deepest
impression is my Religion" In this
book he advocates the acceptance of the
most literal reading of the teachings of
Jesus. He makes a strong argument, and
he himself was consistent in that he fol-
lowed his own Interpretation as fully as
is possible in this age of the world, and
more fully than most of us would con-
