THE PROSPERITY PLEDGE.

John w. Kern, the democratic nom
inee for vice president, has written
letter to D. NJ. Parry, who was for
merly president of the National Asso-
citation Of Manufacturers, asking for his
views Of what Is known as the pros
perity pledge being used by certain
manufacturers. Mr. Parry replies that
he is personally opposed to them and
that they will not be placed in the
plant controlled by him.
The prosperity pledge is placsrd
conspicuously posted on the walls of
producing plants stating that In event
of the defeat of the republican ticket
the works will be indefinitely closed
down; that In event Of the election of
the republican ticket plants will at
once be put into operation for extern
sive business undertakings. Says MIR.
Kern with truth: "The intent Of the
placards Is obviously to frighten the
public, as we'll as the employees direct
ly affected, into the belief that the
success Of the democratic party would
work injury to business and industrial
interests. In other words 1t Is species
of political intimidation. Says Mr..
Parry with truth: Il am sure that the
great majority of the manufacturers of
the country will refrain from the post
ing of Objectionable placards, and that
mainly because it would be taking an
advantage of the employee There is the
further reason also that most manu-
facturefs run their business in accord

ToLsTOY,s SUCCESSOR.

| Count Leo Tolstoy, the so-called
| torch bearer In the irrpenetrable
gloom of monarchical oppression in
Russia. Is rapidly failing. Having
rounded his eightieth birthday last
Friday, he lies In a bed, from which
the doctors do not expect he will rise,
at his ancestral estates near Moscow,
racked with rheumatism and gout
The advocate Of the cause of liberty,
the one notable exception among the
nobility of Russia, the passionate low
er of humanity, and the truest Of pat
riots, will soon give way to another
standard bearer.
Who that standard bearer will be is
a grave problem. 1t Is questionable II
there is another man enlisted in the
true cause of liberty in Russia to-day,
who Is in a position to lead the down
trodden masses effectualy as Tolstoy
has. Had he been of more plebian
birth, It seems certain that he would
have met with a death-sentence long
ere this. How great the confidence of
the Russian people is In him was
shown quite fittingly on his birthday
Friday when strict measures had to
be resorted to by the Russian officials
to prevent the people from organic
ing an anti-governmental demonstra-
ton, which, from their point of view
would have been disastrous In It's re-
suits
Tolstoy's fame is we'll assured be-
cause of his literary achievements. AS
novelist, as an historian, and as a
dramatist, he has glory far beyond
that many great men can attain. But
II will be as the reformer, the advo-
cate of human rights In a land where
those rights have been little regarded,
that his name will rebound TO poster
ity. He has known how his country
men suffered and kicked against the
pricks of government. He has known
all the indescribable horrors of that
vast Siberian wilderness to the east.
where thousands of innocent Russians
his eountrymen, have lost their lives
through starvation cold or ill-treat-
ment. Yet, in spite Of the great dan
ger, in which he placed his own neck,
Tolstoy has spared no man, not even
the car himself, with his fearless.
bleeding pen. II was only few
weeks ago that he made public a pro-
test addressed to the government,
which has been reprinted all over the
world, In which he called for mercy
and tolerance from the car In the
name Of humanity and God, for his
countrymen, who we're being butch
cred like swine, without trial or
chance to show their innocence. Yet
in spite of all the suffering, the atroci-
tics, and the degradations. Count Toll
stoy has kept his estimate of the pos
slbillties of humanity high. He has
been the Ideal idealist, as he must
truly be who would be reformer and
accomplish results.

OUR WAR VETERANS.

In spite of the large attendance at
the forty second annual encampment OF
the Grand Army men, now being held
In Toledo, the fact cannot be lost sight
of that at best the future number of
these gatherings Is rapidly narrowing
as the years pass. Though there are not
few Of these grand old men, who en-
dangered whatever they had of life
and happiness for their country in the
days of 81 and later who appear to
have quite as much vlgor and certainly
as much youthful spirits as ever they
had, still the fact remains that the
time Is sure to come when their num-
bers will dwindle to a few hundred
then to a bare score or more, then to
one or two, and finally To-. The

ably put 1t: Death and taxes are GER

when there will be no more Grand
Army Of the Republic here except as
