welt is the exponent Of the brute force
idea with him man is an animal and
must be ready to kill any other ami
mai that opposes his plans. With
Tolstoy man is the spiritual agent
Of God and is bound to observe
spiritual laws
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that man
would degenerate without an occa-
~i"nul opportunity for blood letting;
Tolstuy believes that love is great
or than force and that man Is emo
blcd by accepting love as the con-
trolling principle of life. Naturally
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that the
world can be scared into peace when
ornaments become great enough to
max" each nation afraid of every
other nation. TeIstoy believes that
the spirit that leads nations to desire
big uuvics will lead them to use
them without excuse, and he insists
that II 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
n village of Samariu and the people
refused To receive him some of the
disciples suggested that fire should
be- called down from heaven to
ay"ugc IN" insult; but the Master

Senator Bradley's measures, re-

bills introduced by him was the
enabling act of the initiative and
referendum amendment, which
passed both houses and received
the Governors signature. The
