Written in Monastery, 1t Is

Dissemination
CRr A.seeia,sd Press.N

ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 2s.-The As
sociated PreEs received early this morn
ing from Vladimir Tschertkotf. literary
agent OF the late Count Tolstoi. the last
article written by TolstoL II is entitled
Effective Means" and was written by
Tolstoi in the Optina monastery. Novem-
Der Il shortly after he began his self
imposed life away from home. The ar
ticle yas given The Associated Press by
II Tschertkoff al the express wish OF
Count Tolstoi for dissemination TO man
kind II says:
Il am naturally anxious to do all I
can against evil which fortunes the best
spirits OF our time.
Il think the present effective war
against capital punishment does not
need forcing: there Is no ned for an
expression OF indignation against its
immortality, cruelty and absurdity-every
sincere thinking person, everybody
knowing from youth the sixth command
ment.. needs no explanation of its alb
surdity and immortality; there is no
need for descriptions Of the horrors OF
the executions for they only affect hang
men. so men viii more unwillingly be-
come executioners and governments will
be Obliged to compensate them more
dearly for their services
Therefore. think that neither the ex-
preston OF indignation against the muir
der Of our fellow men nor the sugges-
ton OF its horror. is mainly needed, but
something totally different
AS Kantwell says there are delu-
sions which cannot be disproved and we
must communicate 20 the deluded mind
knowledge which will enlighten and then
the decisions will vanish by themselves
what knowledge need we communi-
cate TO the deluded human mind regard
ing the indispensableness. usefulness or
Justice OF capital punishment in order
that said delusion may destroy itself?''

The predictions of war between this
country and Japan continue The latest
alarmist is an army officer, General
Schatf, according to a news Dispatch
The item reads as follows: "In re-
port to the war department by General
Schatf, who claims to have made a
thorough investigation of American
coast defences, it is alleged that Japan
could in a space of three weeks, land
100, 600 veterans on the Pacific coast
and double that number in ten days
more.
Germany in two weeks could place
200, 900 men on the Atlantic coast.
Once entrenched in one of our coast
cities foreign army of 10000 could
hold out indefinitely against five timss
the number of American troops. 1t is
said that the government is very un-
easy over the situation and will cast its
whole weight in favor of plan of re-
organization and increase of the army. "
While it is extremely unlikely that we
will have any serious trouble with Jap
an or any other foreign country for
many years to come, it is well for the
United States government to be fully
prepared for any situation which may
arise. This is acknowledged to be the
best way to prevent conflict. If we
need more battleships and a bigger
standing army, by all means let us have
them. Sherman s definition of war has
not, up to the present time, been sue
cessfully controverted, and going on
the supposition that an ounce ofpreven-
ton is worth pound of cnre, it would
be the part of wisdom to strengthen
our coast defences up to and perhaps a
little beyond the safety point, and main
tain an army sufficient in size to instill
respect into any foreign power which
may entertain Interior motives toward
US. We have ever been of the opinion
that this cry of "wolf" was made more
for the purpose of bringing the instiga-
tor of the alarm into the public eye than
the facts in the case warrant, and yet,
where there is much smoke it is reason
able to suppose that some few sparks are
smoudering, therefore it behoves US to
be prepared for any contingency which
NAV arise.

The State Board of Health is to hold
a tuberculosis exhibit in Middlebury
Monday and Tuesday, May 16 and II,
which should and probably will attract
wide attention throughout this section.
Speaking of the work being done along
this line the Mortified News says:
THE tuberculosis exhibits throughout
the state, under the auspices of the
state board of health, this year, can
hardly fail to be of great value to YER
mont. The plan has been practically
carried out and while of interest to all
it has attracted the attention of that
clsss most desirable to reach. The
money it has cost has been well expend-
ed. Regarded from a financial stand
point alone, The News believes that
this educational campaign for health
will pay many times its cost. There
are of course other and greater consid-
erations, but when these can be COM
bined with the commercial side there is
no possible reason for objection.
The legislature this year will do well
for the state if it literally provides for
extending the work of the board of
health along these educational lines. "

himself with the community than many
members of the faculty, not only in re-
ligious but in civic affairs. As one of
the school directors his thought, judg-
ment, and common sense have always
been in the direction of advanced educa-
tional methods and in the line of educa-
tional improvement. In walking the
street with Professot Wright, a prac-
tlce unhappily not so common as it used
to be, | am constantly surprised at the

that know him. | am always asking
MIN, ''Who was that man, or that
woman, or that child?" Professor
Wright is not simply college man, he
is a Middlebury man in all its interests,
cares, duties, pleasures and activities.
In my Judgment no member of the fac
ulty would be so greatly missed in college
and in town. And that after all is the
supreme test.

DR.. D. X. Pearsons of Chicago, mil

year gave Middlebury College twenty
five thousand dollars, celebrated his
ninetieth birthday last week Thursday.
DR.. Pearsons has been the benefactor
of forty-seven small colleges through

ingly styles his children. In a state
ment to the public on his birthday he
says:
During this year no other gifts will
be made to a college or to individuals,

He advises those who desire to live to

Middlebury College, its alumni and
friends, who are scattered all over the
country, will ever have a warm spot in
their hearts for this man, and each one
will wish for him many more years of
good health and usefulness.

conclusion that the ordinance regarding
the riding of bicycles on the sidewalks

hoped that their laudable intention will
not miscarry This mode of locomotion
is not only pleasant to the bicyclist but

the rider persists in monopolizing the

he becomes a nuisance. The trustees

There is concise summary of the
simple life, such as he learned through
youth of comparative poverty in the
town of Bradford in the Connecticut val
ley, and it seems that he has followed
it even to the day when millions become
burden to him. Mental, moral, spirit
ual, physical advice are crowded into
eleven lines, enough surely to constitute
a life sermon. But the entire secret of
DR.. Parsons success in the industrial
world would not be complete unless it
be added that there must be opportunity
and the individual must seize upon it.
That is what DR.. Pearson did, and the
other aids to success came to his support
most grandly. However, the act of fol-
lowing the words of advice contained in
the above eleven lines make an excel
lent basis on which to found a success

graceful that the Senate Committee on

Between 55 and 60 deer were killed in
this state during the month of March,
according to reports received by the
state fish and game commissioner.
Dogs were the principal agent of de-
struction, the number killed outright by
them being given as &c. Five of these
cases took place in Windham county.
In all probability these figures repres-
ent only portion of the number of
deer illegally killed, since many carcass

so many deer have been killed during

ably diminish the supply in this state. -
