Maxim Gorky

Few writer's have established their
reputation SO rapidly as Maxim Gorky.
His first sketches (1S92-95) were pub
lished in an obscure provincial paper of
the Caucasus and were totally unknown
to the literary world, but when short
tale of his appeared in widely read re-
view, edited by Korolenko, it at once
attracted general attention. The beauty
of its form, its artistic finish and the
new note of strength and courage
which rang through it brought the
young writer Immediately into prom
inence. 1t became known that Maxim
Gorky was the pen name of quite a
young man, A. Pyeshkoff, who was
born in 1868 in Mimi Novgorod, a
large town on the Volga; that his
father was merchant or an artisan,
his mother remarkable peasant wo-
man, who died soon after the birth of
her son, and that the boy, orphaned
when only 8, was brought up in fam
lily Of his fathers relatives.
The childhood of Gorky must have
been anything but happy, for one day
he ran away and entered into service
on VOlga river steamboat. Later he
lived and wandered on foot with the
tramps in south Russia, and during
those wanderings he wrote a number
OF short stories which were published
in a newspaper Of northern Caucasia.
The stories proved to be remarkably
fine, and when collection of all that
he had hitherto written was published
in 1900, in four small volumes, the
whole of large edition was sold in a
very short time, and the name of Gorky
took it's place-to speak of living novel;
lists only-by the side of those of Kor-
olenkO and Tchehoff, Immediately af-
ter the name of Leo Tolstoy. In West
crn Europe and America his reputa-
ton was made with the same rapidity,
as soon as couple of his sketches were
translated into French and German and
retranslated into English.
1t is sufficient 60 read few of Cor
ky's short stories, for instance, NAL
va" or "Tehelkasn," or "The Ex-
Men," or "Twenty-six Men and One
Girl" to realize at once the causes Of

Rheumatism, neglected, can do.
Rheumatism includes lumbagO sciatica
neuralgia, gout-for all these are the results Of
rheumatic poison in the blood.
Plainly. the first thing to do Is to remove the
poison. But this IL not enough. The FORMATION
of the poison must be stopped, SO that nature
may have chance to dissolve and eliminate
the crystals which have already formed. Unless
this Is done there can be no cure+no permanent
relief.

Single takers have COON reason to
congratulate each other over the re-
cent information regarding the on
ward movement, as announced through
various newspapers. Steps in the d.
rection OF absolute single tax legisla-
ton have recently been taken by the
London county council; the Glasgow
council, recently elected, contains TWEEN
ty out Of the twenty-six who are firm
advocates of the taxation of land
values; and the city of Bradford has
adopted resolution to the same effect.
In our own country we have most
encouraging reports from the Fairhope,
Ala, colony, and the newspapers of all
kinds are now, more than ever before,
disposed to present open columns
for the discussion of the question.
The fact is that the single tax is
the only way out of the woods for
every monopoly-ridden nation-espe-
cially the United States. 1t aims at the
root Of fundamental evil, and shows
the fallacy of trying to correct indus
trial evils either by war, by prayers,
or by the dream of socialism. The
foundation of our industrial evils is
cold-blooded, iniquitous, grinding,
cruel, crushing, relentless monopoly.
That's the fiend now sapping the foun-
dations Of this government and paving
the way for ultimate anarchy. The
only remedy is the single tax-and it
is coming. RALFH HOYT.

Certain Relief

The secret lay IN wonderful chemical Z
found in Germany. When found this chemi-
cal l knew that / could make q Rheumatic
cure that would be practically certain. But
even then, before made an announcement
before was willing to put my name on it,
made more than 1000 tests! And my failures
were but per cent.
This German chemical IL not the only ingre-
dent use In DR.. Shops Rheumatic Cure-but
1t made the remedy p0ssible-made possible an
achievement which, doubt not, could have
been made in no other way
The chemical was very expensive. The duty
too, was high. In oil It cost me $3.50 per pound
But what Is 40 per pound for a REAL remedy
for the worlds most painful disease?-for REAL
relief from the greatest torture human beings
know
l don't mean that Dr.. Shops Rheumatic
Cure can turn bony joints into flesh again-that
Is impossible. But It will drive from the blood
the poison that causes pain and swelling and
then that to the end of the pain and swelling
the end of the suffering thee end OF rheumatism.
That Is why can afford to make this liberal
oner-that - why / can afford to spend the
FIRST dollar that Rheumatic suffers, the world
over, may learn OF my remedy.

vast subterranean city, the streets for
miles and miles being hewed out of
the solid chalk, flanked with piles Of
champagne Of all blends and qualities.
There is no light in this labyrinth of
streets, crossings and trimmings, except
that which the suffering candles at
ford. All is dark and damp, with the
thermometer down about zero. The

1--WE have become a great nation"
said President Roosevelt in his inau-
gural address. Undoubtedly we have.
Toward all nations, large and small,
our attitude must be one OF cordial
and sincere friendship" Undoubted-
|ly it must.
But justice and generosity In q ma
ton, as in an individual, count more
when shown not by the weak but by
the strong" Undoubtedly they do.
while ever careful to refrain from
wronging others, we must be no less
insistent that we are not wronged our
selves" Undoubtedly we must.
1--WE wish peace, but we wish the
peace of Justice, the peace of righteous
ness" Undoubtedly we do.
I'VE wish it because we think it is
right, and not because we are afraid"
Undoubtedly we do.
No strong power should ever be
able to single us out as a subject for
insolent aggression" Undoubtedly it
should not.
But why this insistence on military
force? What strong power" is going
to single out" the great nation as
"a subject for insolent aggression?"
What particular country is threaten
ing us?
What power is disposed to deny us
"he peace of justice, the peace of right
eousness?"
What government is likely to assume
that our Justice and generosity are
inspired by weakness rather than by
strength?
Is there no national strength except
that of standing armies and battle
ships? Then Russian, with the great
est Of all standing armies, has the
greatest national strength. Then all
the other nations of the earth are grow
cling at the feet of Great Britain,
with her commanding sea power.
Even in the solemnly impressive
ceremony of the Inauguration Mr..
Roosevelt can not forget the big stick
which leans affectionately against the
platform on which the oath of Office is
administered.
Yet how trivial are all our dangers
from abroad in comparison with our
dangers at home! How trifling Is our
foreign peril in comparison with our
domestic peril! How little do all the
|battleships of three empires count
against us in comparison with the
bribery Of public servants and the pri-
vate looting of the public's heritage!
What menace is there in all the legions
LOT Europe in comparison with the
menace of corporation control of
American political institutions? What
peril is to be found in the military re-
sources of all Europe which compares
with that system of organized greed
and cunning which, in the language of
Justice David j. Brewer of the United
States supreme court, is lifting "the
corporation into position of constant
danger and menace to republican insti-
tutions?"
Will Mr.. Roosevelt never perceive
that in trying to emphasize military
greatness he is diverting the atten-
ton of the American people from the
supreme danger? From the supreme
menace? From the gravest influence
that threatens to swerve the republic
from its destiny New York World.
