Roosevelt Takes
Tolstoi to Task
Denies in Editorial that Bryan Rep
resented Party of Peace in
- Last Campaign.

NEW YORK. May 1S.-Ex-President
Roosevelt, in the current number of the
outlook, combats the statement credited
to Count Leo Tolstoi that Bryan repre-
scented the party of peace in the last presi-
Dental campaign. on this point Mr.. Roose-
welt says:
Now, there was but one point in the
platform of either political party in 1905
which contained an element of menace to
the peace of the world. This was the
plank in the Bryanite platform which de-
handed the immediate exclusion by law
of all Aslatic laborers and therefore of the
Japanese. Coupled with this was the ut
terly meaningless plank about the navy,
which was. however. intended TO convey
the impression that we ought to- have a
navy only for the defense of our coasts
is, a merely defensive navy. or in
other words, a quite worthless navy,
The ex-president expresses the opinion
thai Tolstoi has "swayed or dominated only
the feeble folk and the fantastic folk and
that his influence over men of action
has not been great.

ate the elevators-there exists the most
complete harmony as the result of most

added that this harmony of effort was
but the inevitable result of perfect or
ganization. Mr.. X. M. Ham, the man

tion, and he has built up an efficiency

ceedings which she had started on ac-
count of cruelty. The crime ccurred about
2 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The three

ported to the authorities. A searching
party made the discovery of the body
