Chicago, Feb. Alarmed at the
rapid exit Of manufacturing plants
from Chicago on account of labor
troubles, the Chicago real estate board
has decided to take active" steps to
reach out after more factories to make
up for those that have been lost.
Besides the numerous industries
that have left on account of the in
cessant strikes. boycotts and riots,
Chicago has lost hundreds of other
plants that contemplated locating here
and afterward decided to build else
where. This combined industrial loss
it is believed, has amounted to more
than OO,OOO.0OO in three years, and
this is why the real estate board is
now found in the unusual attitude Of
begging manufacturers to come tt
Chicago.
In the appeal that has been issued
assurance is given that strike violence

Essays and Letters of Tolstoy.

Twenty-six essays and letters. many of
which appear in print for the first time.
occur in this translation by Aylmer Maude.
They are concerned principally with Toll
stoys humanitarian labors and are colored
with his distinctive ideas on definite condi-
tons. Tolstoy's position is that of one who
bridges the gulf between theory and prac-
tice. These essays have an altruistic pur-
pose. Certain scriptural injunctions are Sc
lected for emphasis, such as ITO eat bread
in the sweat of the face" Tolstoy's was
not the gospel of work, but the gospel of
love, of service. He also comments on the
assertion of the younger Dumas that "the
time is commencing when our desire for
the accomplishment of the great law of
brotherhood will become irresistible"
science and government come in for dis
cussion and he sums up his religious creed
as follows:
L believe in this: believe in God, whom
I UNDERSTAND as Spirit. as Love, as the
source or all. believe that He is in me
and ! in Him. 1 believe that the will of
God is most clearly and intelligibly ex-
pressed In the teaching of the man Jesus,
whom to consider as God, and pray to. I
esteem the greatest blasphemy. / believe
that mans true welfare lies in fulfilling
GODS Will, and His VIII is that men should
love one another. and should consequently
90 10 others as they wish others to do to
them-of Which ii is said in the gospels that
In this is the law and the prophets. I be-
ieVe, therefore. that the meaning of the
lie OF every man is to be found only in in
creasing the love that is in him: that this
increase of love leads man, even in this
lie, to ever greater and greater blessed
ness. and after death gives him the more
plessedness the more love he has and
heips more than anything else toward the
establishment of the kingdom of God on
earth; that is, to the establishment of an
order OF life In which the discord. decep-
ton and violence that now rule will he re
placed by free accord, by truth and by the
tbrotherly love of one for another. / be-
