Volume 81
Tolstoy.

Mr.. Bryan, in The Commoner, pays
the following graceful tribute to
Tolstoy, the great Russian philoso-
pher nobleman, who endeavored to
practice what he preached:
"Tolstoy is dead" AS the news
follows the wires around the globe
the world pauscs to discuss the
career of one whose name is known
in every civilized land and whose
thought has left its impress upon
many millions. And who is this
colossal figure whose falling shakes
the earth? 4 nObleman? Yes, a
nobleman by birth who enobled no
bility by his character aud attain
ments. A novelist? Yes, novelist
who made facts more fascinating
than fiction. a scientist? Yes, an
instructor in the most important of
all science, the science of life. He
believed that the paramount duty of
man Is to know how to live. He
taught that 1t is more imperative
that man shall draw near to his
Creator and lessen the distance be-
tween himself and his fellow men
than that he should know how far
the stars are apart or be able to
measure the age of the rocks. And
above all, he was philosophers
lover of truth-whose definitions
and illustrations brought truth with
in the comprehension of the multi
tude. He was moulder OF opinion,
putting into apt phraseolOgy the
heart cravings Of the race.
He has been called the apostle of
love, and no one since the Apostle
Paul has preached 1t more persist
entity or practiced it more consist
entity.
He was II believer in the doctrine
of nonrcsistancc; he deprecated the |
use of violence under any and all |
circumstances, and yet this man |
who would not have resisted arrest |
or returned blow for blow was the
only person in Russia to whom alb
solutc freedom of speech was ne
corded.
He was also an advocate of "bread |
labor the doctrine advanced by a
Russian named Bondaref, to "clip
the wings of luxury and lust
Tolstoy believed that lack of sym
pathy is the root of all injustice and
that nothing but actual and continu-
Gus participation In the primary
struggle that draws the worlds
nOurishment from mother earth will
inspire a spirit of brotherhood.
There will be difference Of opinion
as to many Of Tolstoy's theories
and dissent from some Of the appli-
cations which he has made OF truths
advanced by him, but no one will
deny that with the sincerity of Il
pure heart and the intensity of a
great soul he sought to bring him
self into harmony with the Divine
will and to serve society. TO love
God with all his heart and his neigh
Dor as himself was the passion Of
the latter years of his life.
The CommOner will, from time to
time, bring before its readers ex-
tracts from the essays of Tolstoy,
but it shares the universal sorrow
and offers IA brief tribute now: The
night is darker because his light has
gone out; the world is not so warm
because his heart has grown cold in
death.

Australian Land Idea.

They don't seem To care for any.
body except the people in Australia.
The Minister of Lands in New
South Wales has announced that
after January |, 1911, no public lands
will ever be granted in fee simple,
but will be leased for 800 years.
The earth is too valuable to sell to
anybody, they contend.
The earth belongs to everybody,
they say, and nobody can really own
1t.
The idea is advocated that the
only real interest a man can acquire
in the earth is the right of use, and
that this right is subject to the SUI
perior rights of society. And one
of the rights of society is to make
the occupants put ii to some useful
purpose, instead of holding it out of
use to grow in value as n result of
the labOrs Of others.
Another of these rights is the
right to see that If the occupant dies
or moves away some other actual
user shall take his place, and that
in any event the holding shall not be
absorbed into some big estate.
This radical departure of the Aus
tralian Minister of Public Lands
from the time-honored custom of the
nations constitutes startling in
novation which is of nature to i'm
press one with the thought that he
doesn't care a rap for anybody OK
