II cannot continue longer to live
surrounded by luxury and, like many
other Old men. retire from the world
to complete my life in solitude.
Il ask that you do not seek my
place Of soiourn and that you do not

forgiveness for the grief that | may
cause you
The novelist's reference to living
amid luxurious surroundings is signi-
ficant Of his state Of mind, as he has
long lived the life of a peasant, while
his family occupied a mansion on the
Yasnaya Poliana estate.
The first news of To1stois disap-
pearance came from Prince Dimitry
Oblensky, who says that the count
left his home several days ago, ac-
comranied by DR.. Makovetsky, his
physician. That the doctor should be
a party to the affair is another strange
feature
In his writings Tolstoi has con-
demned suicide as immoral and ira
ticnal and as Indicating a perverted
view Of the significance of life.
1t is believed that Tolstoi proceeded
to an old monastery in the government
Of Kaluga, which adjoins the govern
ment Of Tula on the west.
The picture, suggested by the cable
dispatches, of an old man in his SD
year wandering off into the woods to
die alone, and the wife who has
shared his trials and victories for a
half-century fOrlOrn and deserted
and watched over to see that she does
not end her life-this is the tragedy OF
Count aud Countess TOlstoi.
Countess TolstOi is woman of fine
breeding and education TOlstOi's
vagaries and his peculiar mode Of life
were a great strain on his devoted
wife, but she remained by him
throughout.

kidneys are sick.
Backache and many kidney ills fol-

Barton People endorse our claim.
J.E. Wilkie, Main St., Barton, VT,
says: I gladly recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills, as I know they are a
valuable kidney remedy. For over a
year I had kidney trouble, but did not
know what caused my suffering. My
back was very lame and bothered me
a great deal and I had but lit Q
strength or energy. An acquaintance
who had used Doan's Kidney Pills
with good results, advised me to try

An Intimate Friend Says He Has Never
Seen Rockefeller Spend Cent in
His Life.

An interesting picture of John D.
Rockefeller at close range-and
very remarkable study of the char
acter of the richest man alive-is
contributed to the November Ameri-
can Magazine by H. M. Briggs. a
close friend and the body guard of
Mr.. Rockefeller for many years.
Speaking of his penuriousness, Mr..
Briggs says:
ION one occasion, as evening drew
near and we were in beautiful sur
roundings near North Dover. he said ::
I like this place. If Mr.. Briggs has
any money we will stay all night.
By the way, have never seen Mr..
Rockefeller spend a cent in his life.
When farmer boys would bring bas-
kets Of fruit to the side of the auto
mobile in the hope of garnering little
pocket money he would say, The only
thing l can DO for you is to show you
pictures. and out of his pocket he
would take kodak views Of himself
and others on his various estates"

AN OPPORTUNITY.

With the election of three democrat
ic governors in old republican New
England, democratic victories in New
York, New Jersey, Ohio and other
states usually carried by the republi-
cans, a safe majority in the United
States house of representatives and
large gains in the senate, the demo-
Gratis certainly won a sweeping victory
at the polls last week. The demo-
Gratis are now face to face with an
opportunity great opportunity.
They must profit by the follies of the
republicans in some quarters and not
be content with a mere election.
Party principles as developed in party
pledges and platforms must be lived
up to with honest regard for the mass
of voters by whose virtues party
has the legislative and executive
powers granted them.
In the house at least the democrats
will have an opportunity to be as pro-
gressive aud aggressive as they please.
They can elect their own speaker,
ousting Cannon once and for all, re-
wise the house rules as much as they
see fit so as to make the speaker less
a master of that body and more a mod
orator, they will have an opportunity to
take whatever stand they care re-
garding the tariff and at least show
the senate and president their views
of a tariff even if the measure should
not pass the upper house and become
law by the hand of the president.
They will be able to join hands with
the progressive republicans in the
senate and bring about many other
improvements in the governmental
machinery.
The Monitor is a republican news
paper published by a republican and in
a republican state. but it is not so eX
tremely partizan that it cannot re-
joice with the democrats in their vic
tory. If they act wisely and patriot
ically and honestly they will set a
pace that will make the 1912 outcome
very doubtful indeed for the republi-
cans. On the other hand should our
democratic brethren fail to make
good, the result in 1912 would be a re-
publican victory without question.
The cause for the great democratic
victory is variously placed. But this
much is certain, the party never be-
fore had so many able men of affairs
on their tickets as this year. AnC
here is food for thought. Are the
young leaders in business and politica
life today affilating themselves witt
the minority party? If so, why? Is i
because the democratic party affords
greater opportunity. or because The
republicans have failed to make gooC
their promises and the keener senst
of moral responsibility by the blood
of the country with the suffrage priv
lege has been raised in a gentle revolt
Is it at least time for the republican
10 take careful stock of their prom
Uses and their fulflments? We here il
Vermont should not fail to take tn
warning home to ourselves, especial
ly at this time. Are we preparing
the way for a democratic victor
here III Vermont?

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
A Matter of Comment.

The frequency of large fires in New
port is getting to be a burning
shame. Barre Times.
Vermonfs Share in Other Elections.
Among other Vermonters elected
might be mentioned Congressman
George E. Foss of the tenth Illinois
district, brother of the next COVER

and more particularly West rkshire,
turned out lively pair of youngsters
when they let the Foss brothers
leave. Barre Times.
Lowell Asbestos.
The deposits of asbestos in the re-
gion round the town of Lowell are so
extensive that it is hoped railroad
connections will be made, so that easy
shipment can be afforded. The de-
veIopment of asbestos mining is great
ly retarded at the present time by the
difficulties of getting the product to
the markets of the country, and pos
sible large industry will be held back
just as long as the old method of
teaming from the mine is followed.
Vermont is greatly interested in the
successful elimination of project to
open up the asbestos region by rail-
road connection.-Barre Times.
Results Always the Same.
One occasionally hears the state
ment that more intoxicating liquor
is sold under no license than under
license. To get at the comparative
amounts under the two systems is
an absolute impossibility and so one
mans claim is as good as another's.
But wherever the two systems have
been tried it is always. demons trated
that there is much less public disturb
ance under no license than under Ii
cense. In Claremont for example,
from May 1907, to May 1908, under
license, there were 389 arrests for
drum keness. From May 1909, to No
vemDer, 1910, under no license there

The Monitor calls attention to an
article in this issue about the pro-
posed extension of the Canadian Paci-
fic railroad from North Troy up the
Missisquoi valley to the asbestos de-
posits in Lowell and Eden and on to
Johnson or Hyde Park. The Mont
tor also prints editorial clippings
from various state papers on the sub
ject. 1t seems fairly certain that a
road will be constructed to the ashes
tos mines in the Lowell region within
a few years and the Monitor looks foi
a great development in this industry
There seems to be little doubt abou
the quantity and quality of the ore.

A Sensible Fish Law.

Every sportsman interested in i'm
proving the trout streams of the state
ought to do his part toward securing
the passage of the bill introduced by
Speaker Howe. providing for the per.
manert closing of small streams
whether or not they have been
stocked. No other method will so
help. the trout fishing in Vermont.
Year-round protection of the head
waters and tributaries of our princi-
pal streams will give the small FISH op-
portunity to grow unmolested until
they are of legal length, and in a
short time result in the streams stock
ing themselves. Mr.. Howe's bill also
provides for the reduction Of the legaI
length of trout that may be caught
from six to five and a half inches anc
for stribution by the state of finger
lings instead of fry. The latter pro
vision is a particularly good one, the
distribution of trout fry being merely
waste of GOOD money. -Brattleborc

That Missisquoi River Valley Railroa


grahical situation and Typographical
conditions as we'll as our absence of
large centers of population Vermont
cannot reasonably expect large ex-
penditures in the direction of rail-
road expansion. On the other hand we
cannot have too many railroads to aid
! in the development and exploitation
of our natural resources.
Under all these circumstances we
/ believe our lawmakers at Montpelier
will be wise in their generation if,
instead of conforming any railroad
monopoly in any particular section of
the state, they adopt the alternative of
grating charter privileges to any en-
tirely new railroad which may mani
fest desire to come into our state,
particularly ones that are not depend
ing on local business but desiring tide
water connection. We have in mind
in this connection the disposition Of the
Canadian Pacific railway to extend
it's lines from North Troy to Lamoille
county in order TO tap the asbestos
fields.
The people of Vermont should ever
bear in mind that this great Canadian
railway system has long been reach
ing out in every direction, and that it
has been particularly anxious to touch
tide water somewhere between New
York and Boston as the Grand Trunk
now reaches the Atlantic at New Lon
don and as it will later on also al
Providence.
If the people of Vermont and their
representatives in the Legislature are
as farseeing in this direction as were
