Editorial Opinion
ToIstol Leares the MorId.


New York Mail
Whichever version you take of Toll
stois' retirement TO a convent. it is
singularly absorbing incident. One
account has 1t that he fled from the
world to escape its luxury and be-
cause he grieyed over the distress of
the peasants o his own estate. The
management OF the latter the great
altruist had decided over to his second
wife and her son, and they are said
TO have followed ordinary commercial
methods to secure revenues. They
raised rent and introduced cheap la
Dor, and Tolstoi was often driven to
tears at the increase OF poverty and
beggary.
This version is plausible, but we
believe the true and complete. one is
found iuSthe letter which Tolstoi left.
The cause II assigns is not so tragic,
not so lofty, but it is more direct and
more human. The count went away
not to escape luxury but its opposite
hardship-the social penalties of his
own prominence, which accumulating
years had made him unable longer to
bear, AS he said in his letter: Il
feel that ] must retire from the
liOuDlc VI lie. EeIpeludi guests, per-
petual visits and visitors, perpetual
cinematograph operators, beset me
at Yasnaya Polyana, and poison my
life. / want to recover from the trou-
BILE of the world. II is necessary for
my soul and my body, which has liv-
ed eighty-two years upon this
earth"
Tolstoi had simply been invaded by
the world until he could no longer
stand the strain. His native cour-
tesy and his own philosophy made
him receive and entertain every one
who came to visit him, and it seemed
that nearly every traveller who enter
ed Russia included Yasnaya Polyana
in his. itinerary, just as he did the
Kremlin and the fair at Niini-Nov-
gorod. The great Russian, accompan-
led by his physician, fed at last. In
a certain solemn sense he is taking
the rest cure. For him the Shamar-
dinsky convent is sanitarium for
soul and body.

GOMPERS NOT TO
LOSE HIS OFFICES
Socialists Admit They Are
Not Strong Enough to
Gust Labor Leader.

ST. Louis. Mo-, Nov. 17.-Despite the
opposition Of the Socialist faction in
the American Federation of Labor. a
count OF noses disclosed the fact that
Gompers's job is safe and his arch
enemy. Congressman-elect Victor l..
Berger, of Milwaukee, will be unable
to do him any material harm. at least
in this convention. Meanwhile. how
ever, an Insurgent movement. which
has gained MANY supporters. has been
started by Andrew Gallagher, of San
Francisco. 1t will demand that Presi-
dent Gompers. and. in fact. all the
other officers of the association. pay
more attention to central labor bodies
than they seem willingly to.
The question was brought up on
the seating of delegate from keokuk,
Iowa. Gallagher contended that so
Icing as the association had accepted
the per capita tax of the Keokuk coun-
Gil. the delegate was entitled to a
seat. John Mitchell jumped to his
feet with a point to order. but Gallag'
her would not be denied and the con.
vention held it's breath while Gallag
her criticised Gompers to his heart S
content.
The Socialists led by Berger admit
ed today that they will not at this time
try to down Gompers. but will wait un
til next year, when they hope to be
stronger

MAY PAVE STREET
FIRST OF SPRING

One of the improvements that it Is
expected will be made next spring is
the paving of North e street from
Tenth to Sixteenth. 1t is thought
brick will be used. There has long
been a discussion about the improve
ment of this street and it is thought
there will be no further delay as the
Improvement is badly needed. A Pc
ton will come before the board of
works at an early date asking for the
construction of cement sidewalks on
North Seventh street, from Main to
E. This Is also badly needed.

the mile of waterway which is already
done The president was delighted
with the progress made and comment
ed favorably on everything he saw.
Its marvellous" he asserted.
The presidents last day in the canal
zone was busy one. He inspected
Pedro Miguel and Mirodores docks
and held final conference with Lieu
tenant Colonel Goethals.
In honor Of the presidents presence
the workmep on the Gatun locks es-
tablished new record yesterday by
laying 1875 feet OF concrete. the larg.
est amount ever laid in q single day
in the locks and spillway. The presi.
dent will sail for Cuba this evening
upon the Tennessee.
The warmth with which the presi.
dent was greeted today was in mark
ed contrast to the formal welcome he
received. Although there was nc
lack of friendship in the Official greet
ing to President Taft 1t was not so
hearty as the feeling today following
the presidents declaration last night
that he had no intention Of annexine
Panama. The president declared at the
reception in his honor last night b,

ence of this republic. He said EN-
phatically that the United States
would brook no interference with
