your own comfort" He warns the rul-
ers that the day may come when the
soldiers and police on whom they relv
viii perceive that what they are forced
TO do is the great crime of fratricide
and refuse to obey
Inc unquestioning obedience of orders
by the soldiers is the manstay of what
Iolstoi considers cruel system of So
clal inequality which condemns some to
poverty and heaps riches on others.
In an article on The Root of the Evil"
printed in the current North American
Review. he contends that the army is
the instrument of oppression, and that
the first cause is in the doctrine which
teaches men that military service, the
aim OF which is murder. is not only
sunless, but even commendable admir-
able and heroic occupation" This line
OF reasoning has led him to attack the
church as the prime source of all the
evil that he sees around him among his
suffering fellow countrymen. 1.-THE root
OF all the miseries of the people," he
says "lies in the false doctrine which
is taught them under the name of Chris
tianity." Such are the ideas that have
naturally led to his excommunicat ton,
and such are the convictions that have
inspired his bold personal indictment OF
the car and the ruling mobiles.
1t is not easy to judge justly be-
tween Tolstoi and the rulers whom he
attacks. Both are the product OF Pc
culiar conditions. Tolstoi's doctrine Of
absolute non-resistance is impracticable
in any country, yet it is the logical pro-
duct. in a great and sympathetic soul.
Of the brutalizing absolution whose eff
fects he sees everywhere around him.
1t is as natural that he should think as
he does as that young Russians when
they have had little education rise in
periodic revolt against the despotism
that denies them 1.-The greatest human
good-freedom and enlightenment"

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
The Woman and the Hobo.

The hobo, like the weather, is begin
ming to warm up and exhibit the usual
signs of animated existence. The weary
Willies and Dusty Rhodes who have
been spending the winter in the southern
states or on the Pacific slope are drift
ing back again with the return of sum-
mer. They are thronging the streets
and alleys AMI bes- ting the back doors
in every city and hamlet in Montana
al the present time. They tell pitiful
a,es of empty stomachs and inability TO
get work, which. if taken literally, would
most likely melt the heart of a grind
stone or bring water to the eyes of q
rotato; to say nothing of the larders
that would he impoverished by tender
hearted housewives in heroic attempts
tn fill the caverneNs yacuums that lie
hidden away somewhere along the route
of the a;mentary canals of these home
less and hungry teirgs. Fut of a truth
they toll not neither do they spin, but
verify 1 say unto you that Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one
of these They are human parasites;
they serve no worthy purpose-now that
the democratic party has ceased to turn
them to political account as evidences
Of the avalanche of poverty that was
descending from the mount Of famine
upon the country. They hringath forth
! not good fruit and should be hewn down
and cast into the flames.
But cur subject is the Woman and
the Hobo: what about the woman? 1t
| is the woman that usually has to treat
| with this species of human vermin. The
| hobo is always great annoyance and
usually more or less terror to her
especially when fer lot is cast in iso-
| lated places. They are Frequently
| threatening in their LANGUAGE ard re"er
| fail to help themeelves to whatever
| they happen to want when the owner
| thereof is not around. They usually
| appear in con"aries of two or three,
which adds to the discontinue and dan
ger of the woman. The head of the
| house connot always be at home: what
! is the woman to do?
In Kalisrell tha other dav woman
| returning home found a hobo in the
! house. Size secured her revolver. which
| happened to be handy and marched
| the fellow down town and turned him
over to the authorities. who gave him
so days in Jail. 1t seems to us that this
| is the kew to the situation. Every wo-
mon should have a gun and know how tn
| use it, The law and public sentiment
are on her side and II she is compelled
to kill a hobo now and then in self de-
| tense. so much the better for the
! country. Courage is born of strength
hand fear is the legitimate offspring of
weakness. The woman with the gun

the hobo question would be quickly and
satisfactorily straightforward Forum

There's somethin' in the whisp'rin breeze
that ,eches up his soul
An seems to knock his sinful thoughts
