The Opinions Of TOIstOI's Son
Differs from Those Of
His Father.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 2.-Count Toll
stoi's son Leo, In an article In the
Sc. Petersburg Novoe Vrgmya, takes
a position Numerically opposed to
his father. He has just returned
from seeing his brother, who Is de.
parting for the front, and writes oil
the touching scenes he witnessed at
Tamboff as the reserve men left for
far east. Nevertheless, young Toll
stoi says, the peasants are all united
in agreeing that the war must be
fought out until Japan is subdued.
He adds:
at is a hard time for Russia, but
it is the period OF its regeneration.
The war In the far east is a great
war, such as Russia has not seen
since the time Of Peter the Great-a
war for the possession OF the eastern
shores Of the European-Asiatic con
tinent, Just as in the days OF Peter il
was for the western shores just as
In the war with the Swedes we suffer
ed at Nava, but We conquered at
Poltava, we are now suffering reverses
with the Asiatic Swedes, but there
will come a day when japan will b.
vuanquished."
In concluding, young Tolsti pre-
diets the triumph OF Russia, which
he declares, is destined "to become
instead OF Eagland, the greatest
nation in the world"
He says the Slavs will spread ovel
and absorb all the neighboring PEG
pies they have already subiugated
in the Crimea, the Caucasus, Easter

RUSSIA is the only power destined

"Something for Nothing"

In former Governor John P. Alt
geld's new book just published, "The
Cost OF Something for Nothing"
occurs a passage concerning the
liquor traffic which mightbe OF inter-
est to our readers.
'In America. the liquor traffic has
yielded great profits both In manu-
featuring and retailing, and men en-
gagged in the business show for q
time, evidence of prosperity. Some
OF the most palatial homes in this
country belong to brewers and dis
tillers, their equipages are the best,
and their manner Of living is sump-
tuous.
One generation OF brewers and dis
tillers in America has passed away,
and we can study their lives and pass
Judgment on their work. The most
impressive thing that strikes the
observer OF these men Is the univer.
salty OF their moralruin.
Personally, many OF the men en-.
gagged in this business are not only
men OF ability, shrewdness and enter
prise, but they are men OF kindly
impulsed and inclined by nature to
be generous, and some Of them pos
sess q considerable culture.
Why should a blight hang over
them? It Is the moral faint in their
business, as now conducted, Is to
cater to the weaknesses, to destroy
the character and lower the social
status OF men and. OF communities;
and this demoraliz alton reaches back
| to the source from which Ii came.
Vibrations in the atmosphere move
IN q circle In all directions from the
point OF disturbance, and all that
comes within the circle feel more OF
less Of the shock. In the traffic In
liquor both the hand that delivers
and the hand that receives the liquor
becomes palsied.
II the liquors were made and sold
as drugs and groceries are sold, the
effect would be different. II men took
them as they take drugs and food,
small per cent would be used, and
the Generalization following would
be comparatively small.
| But the manufacturers OF liquor
want to make money, and they en-
deavor to swell their sales. For THU
purpose they encourage the opening
Of saloons. These saloons become
lounging places, where character and
habits Of industry are destroyed
where habits Of drinking and carous
ing are formed that pull down moi
only the individual but bis family
and every time the drunkard and biz
family sink 9 notch lower, the mora
effect tends to blight the family o
