former Governor Folk and Hon. w.

Mr.. Vandiver retired, according to
the Star, Senator Stone dictated the
following statement concerning the
meeting: Fl met Mr.. Vandiver by

pleasant talk with him. The larger
part OF the talk drifted into matters

was this: That the only political

made in the state, with a view to
winning the battle for next year and

From Walter Wellman's Washing
ton dispatch, April rs, to the Chicago
Record Herald, republican:
aThe attitude Of many republican
senators who give Al-Tich reluctant
support through sense OF party 10y
atty is wen have to stand it this
| time. but we shall be condemned If we
ever stand ii again Their complaints
are not only as to the contents of the
pending BILL hut as to the manner in
which it was made. Concerning the
! former, no one now pretends that is it
such revision as the country wanted
and as Mr.. Taft promised. Pre- sident
| Taft IL represented as being on b 10th
sides OF the fence with Aldrich and
against Aldrich leading the most
acute observers to the belief that his
influence is more or less negligible on
account of its lack Of positiveness and
continuity. Tariff reformers who go to
the White House come away loud in
their declarations that the president is
dissatisfied with the Aldrich bill. But
| it is noteworthy that whenever Mr..
Aldrich himself goes to the White
House his visit is followed by semi
| official assurances that the president
aud the tariff makers are gettiHg on
very well and that Mr.. Taft Is charm
ed to find, in White House language.
the can do business with the senator
from Rhode Island ! Veteran watch
ers of the gameas played for genera
tiens by the gray wolves of protection
smile to themselves at this assurance
and remark that when Mr.. Alsrich
does business with Mr.. Taft on the
tariff it is much like the way the lion
does business with the lamb.
i stSince Senator Aldrich's frank VOW
al that his measure does not pretend
| - meet the promises made by the re-
publican party, as those promises were
understood by the people, and his dec
| laration that the Chicago platform
never made such promise, anyway,
curiosity has redoubled as TO what the
president intent's dong when it comes
to signing the bill, some weeks hence
All efforts to draw from the president
plain statement of his intentions
have come to naught.n

Tolstoy has incurred the wrath Of
Elk President Roosevelt by saying that
bryan represented the party Of peace"
in the last campaign, and the "migh-
ty hunter pausesllong enough 10 adj
minister rebnke to the Russian phil
osopher. HE says that Tolstoy has
swayed "oniy the feeble folk and the
fanatic foik.u There now, let Tolstoy
wipe the blood off of his face and take
back seat.
No wonder Mr.. Roosevelt does not
like Tolstoy they represent opposite
schools Of thought. Mr.. Roosevelt Is
the exponent OF the brute force
idea.-with him man is an animal and
must be ready 10 kill any other animal
that opposes his plan. With Toistoy
man is the spiritual laws.
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that man
would degenerate without an occasional
opportunity for blood letting; Tolstov
believes that love 10 greater then force
and that man is ennobled by accepting
love as the controlling principle Of life,
Naturally Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that the
world can be scared into peace when
ornaments become great enough to
make each nation afraid Of every other
nation. Tolstoy believes that the
split that leads nations to desire big
navies will lead them without excuse.
and he insists that good example will
do more than threat to prevent war.
This fundamental difference be-
tween Roosevelt and Tolstoy is not,
however, new. When Jesus visited
village Of Samavia and the people re-
fused to receive him some Of the dIsci-
pies suggested that fire should be cali
ed down from heaven to avenge the
insult; Blu. the Master rebuked them
and said: "Ye know not what IMAM
ner of spirit We are of; for the Sou OF
Man is not come to destroy mems
lives, but to save them suppose he
had said; 1--WE will thrash them un-
til they understand who we are" hsw
different would have been the history
of Christianity! Compare, if you will
the staggering, puIlilg, brutal doc
trine of Roosevelt with the golden rule
of folstoy and the commandment,
"Thou shall love thy neighbor as
myself
Again, Christ answered one who
would use force to defend him by say
ing: "They that draw the sword shall
perish by the swotd.
Tolstoy has good authority for his
position-better than Mr. Roorevelt
can offer for his bullying ard swaggef-
ing policy. Mr.. Roosevelt will hardly
charge all the followers of The Prince
of Peace with being "feebie folk and
fanatic folk n-Commoner.

The White House will never again
know the electric thrills, the dramatic
( tension and the terrific scenes of Theo-

LIFE WITHOUT WORK, COLOR
 AND SOUND.

Describing the Schlusselburg. Rus sia's political prison. in the December McClure's. David Soskice says:
 ''The regime and the aspect of the prison had been most carefully thought out and planned. being, as the minis ters>yisfting the Schluesselburg repeat edly declared to the prisoners. intend ed to demonstrate to them that it was destined to be their grave. The cells were constructed in such a manner as constantly to remind the prisoners of a tomb. The stone floors were paint ed black and the walls dark gray. The window panes were opaqe. so that no ray of sun ever penetrated within the cells, and no trace of color from with out could be caught by the prisoners. The iron bedstead was turned up by day and chained against the wall. and only a little stool, also fastened in its place. allowed the prisoners an occa sional rest from the incessant stride backward and forward across the floor of the cell
 This pacing back and forth was, in fact. the only diversion permitted to the prisoners. No books were given to them except the Bible which they had already learned from cover to cover in the fortress of SS. Peter and Paul: no work for their hands. no color for their eyes, no sound for their ears. Cut off

 "A most remarkable freak of nature occurred at my place on June II last. A hen laii an egg with letters and fig- ures on if and they are so arranged as to spell 'Orouth 191I.'

DECLINE OF OLD FRENCH COLO.
 MES

Very noteworthy is the speech which was delivered by M. Paul Deschanel at the opening of the Congress of the Union Coloniale F'r2ncaise The pro- ceedings this year are being devoted to the old French colonies. and in his in augural address NJ. Paul Deschanel gave very poor account of their con- dition- Tn, old colonies. in fact. seem to be quite neglected for the new ones.
 "They complain" he said that the mother country reserves it's interest and assistance for Its young and great possessions in lndo- ChnEa. Madagascar. West Africa and the Congo. which en- joy q decentralized organization. loans guaranteed by the state. and great public works which are refused or only grudgingiy granted to the elder chill dren of French organization. They are mortified and bitterly discouraged by this neglect
 TLeir political regime needs reform. and their economic position is just as bad.
 ''The chief cause of the economic de- cadence of our old colonies is the cus- toms ref:rne imposed on most of them by the law of 1892. which treats them as French countries so as to compel them to admit the produce of the mother country free of duty. and treats them as foreign countries by imposing duties on their produce imported into the mother country. They unanimous ly protest against this regime. which does not even benefit France, as, if this decline continues. what trade can she have with cus;c mers who are re- duced to distress?'
