Living in land of autocracy, where the
word Of the car and his still more pow
erful advisers is final, Tolstoi has pre-
served a most masterful independence.
and when occasion arose he has not hes
itated to speak from the fullnesS of his
just indignation.
At the car and those behind him he
has leveled the dread word murderer.
and the entire power Of the imperial Rus
sian crown has failed of even an attempt
to silence this old man in the rough
peasants suit. 1t is wonderful situa-
ton. one without parallel now. or per-

Master. of the Subject.
When Tolstoi speaks of the ignorance.
the extravaganza and the injustice of
the Russian court, the world is forced to
listen. for it knows that he is master of
the subject He is no Gorky striving to
stir the people against the upper classes,
but having no intimate knowledge of
their lives.
There is nothing in the life of the court
that TOlstoi does not know. He was a
brilliant figure there in his younger life,
a soldier. a great land owner, an arsto-
crat of noblest family and also of a name
that had rendered much service to Rus

In literary way he first gained fame
for his mastery of Oriental languages.
