ROOSFVEIT'S RESPONSIBLE
TTY FOR PARTYS DEFEAT

So much has been said since the cleo
ton by Colonel Roosevelt's enemies
about his aOnsiBiIity for Republican
defeat, about the outcome Of the cleo
ton being a demonstration that he is
no longer popular, and about it being
a slap at him, that It Is interesting to
inquire what measure of truth there
Is m such talk
may- first be asked If anyone in
his right mind really believes that If
Roosevelt, on returning from Africa,
had kept out Of the campaign, the Re
publicans would have carried the
Houseaor that the Republicans would
have elected governors in BIassachu-
sets, in New York, in New Jersey, or
in Ohio. It Is quite easy to recall that
when Congress adjourned at the end
Of the last session, before Roosevelt
had uttered word on the campaign, a
Democratic victory in the elections was
widely expected and freely predicted
even by Republicans
The talk that the Democratic vic
tory anywhere was slap at Roosevelt
cannot be taken seriously. It Is pure
/ " the invention Of men who are bent
/
on crushing Roosevelt and eliminating
him from American politics
But there Is a sense in which it car
be said that Colonel Roosevelt is II
a large measure responsible for tn,
political revolution of November s. Il
Is a sense that in every way reflect.

COJJNTToLSTOY sSSTRENGTH
SHOWN BYEONG LIFE.

Count Leo ToIstoy was one Of those
many characters whose recognition by
mankind As a powerful fsetor in the
uplifting Of humanity wiIl come only
after time has brought a clear vision
of his works and achievements, To
day opinion Is about evenly divided as
TO whether ne was an inspired prophet,
genuinely concerned for the welfare OF
his people and UNNECESSARILY grieved
at their pitiaBle. condition or an ego
tistfcaI fanatic Of great intellect who
merely sought notoriesy by breaking
conventions in his mode OF life and in
the published expressions Of his mind
Unconventional ToEstoy certainly
was. Judged by the standards Of the
country IN which he lived he was
radically revolutionary, If not anarehis-
tic. Two great facts stand out clearly
from his life, however, and they go a
long way to justify the belief that he
was a sincere laborer for the cause Of
humanity. one is that the peasants
loved him, deeply and dev0tedly. The
other is that despite his iucendiary ut
teranees. he lived a long life in Russia,
practically free from Official interfer-
ence-
The strength Of Tolztoy can prob
ably be best appreciated here when it
Is realized that his government never
dared apply to him any Of the
numerous methods which 1t practices
so frequently upon people whose ae-
tfvities constitute a criticism Of or a
threat against the crushing power Of
Russia. The fact that ToIstoy was
not su1,mariIy sentenced TO death,
that he was not Imprisoned, that
he was not banisbed, that year
after year he preached against the
auroeracy of his government end for
the freedom of his people, and Yet was
not disturbed. gives 10 Americans a
coneertion of the wonderful intellect,
strength of character, and dominating
persolaIify he must have possessed,
Toistoy attacked the government

Russia; ToIstoy wrote personal let

Dear Brother Tolstoy depicted the
suFerings Of his peasant friends; his
preachings undoubtedly did much. to
force the semblance Of progress which
has appeared in Russia IN the last SIX
years, and TO carry to the world
knowledge Of the burdens imposed
upon the Russian people, yet he was
permitted to live, and TO enjoy his
freedom.
