Keep on Giving.

This is the time set for ending the
formal Red Cross campaign. The amount
originally asked, $l00,0O0,000, has been
surpassed. There is reason to hope that
the additional $20,000,000 will come in
from the last minute givers. The forces
set in motion have not ceased to operate
and results cannot yet be wholly tabu-
lated.
But the chief thing to remember is
that while the war lasts-and the end is
not yet in sight-a continuous stream of
gifts must flow toward these fountains
of mercy and healing, or they will run
dry. The first great fund gives basis
for immediate plans, for the purchase of
equipment and the organizing of sys
TENS. To set all this mighty machinery
in motion and then let it run down
would be unthinkable. Support of the
Red Cross is a proof of that humanity,
charge of the lack of which Americans
would resent as the deepest insult.
The taking up of the Liberty loan had
a genuine element of patriotism, but self
interest was involved. Giving to the
Red Cross work is duty and a pleasure
unrelated to any personal advantage. We
should plan for it as a part of our budget
of expenditure and keep it up as long as
the need continues.--New York Evening
Sun.

ToLST0Y ON THE RUSSIAN REVOLT
BY Joseph Fels.

New York, June mo revolution il
Russia can ever permanently succeed
without the adoption of the single ia,
program. This was the Judgment de
clared before his death by Count Lee
f, Tolstoy, and now more than ever of in.
terest.
The following is from an authorized
interview with Herman Bernstein, given
by the great Russian writer and phil.
osopher on July 20, 1908. The interview
was originally printed in the New York
Times. Bernstein is reporting his con-
versation with Tolstoy.
"He asked me about my impressions
of Russia, and particularly about the
popularity of Henry Georges works in
America. Nearly so years ago. he went
on slowly, the great question that oc-
cupied all minds in Russia was the
emancipation of the serfs. The burning
question now is the ownership of land.
The peasants never recognized the pri-
vate ownership OF land. They say that
the land belongs to God. | am afraid
that people will regard what l say as
stupid, but l must say it: The leaders
of the revolutionary movement, as well
as the government officials, are not doing
the only thing that would pacify the
people at once. And the only thing that
would pacify the people now is the in
PRODUCTION of the system of Henry
George.
As | have pointed out in my intro
ductory note to the Russian version of
Social Problems" Henry Georges great
idea, outlined so clearly and so thorough
ly more than 80 years ago, remains to
this day entirely unknown to the great
OF the people. This is quite nat
ural. Henry Georges idea, which changes
the entire system in the life of nations !
in favor of the oppressed, voiceless m>>
iority, and to the detriment of the rul-
ng minority, is so undeniably convinc.
ng, and, above all, so simple, that it is
impossible not TO understand it, and I'M
Outstanding it, it is impossible not to
make an effort to introduce it into prac-
ice, and therefore the only means
lgainst this idea is to prevent it and
o pass it in silence. And this has been
rue of the Henry George theory for
more than 30 years. 1t has been both
reverted and passed in silence, so that
t has become difficult to induce people

to read his work attentiyely, and TO
think about it, Society does with ideas
that disturb its peace-and Henry George
is one OF tese-exactly what the bee
does with the worms which il considers
dangerous but which il is powerless to
destroy. II covers their nests with wax,
SO that the worms, even though not de-
stroyed, cannot multiply and do more
HARM just so the European nations
act with regard TO ideas that are dan.
gerous 10 their order of things, or, rath-
er, TO the disorder TO which they have
grown accustomed. Among these are also
the ideas of Henry George. but light
shines even in the darkness, and the
darkness cannot cover it," A truthful,
fruitful idea cannot be destroyed. How
ever you may try to smother it, il will
still live; it will be more alive than all
the vague, empty, pedantic ideas and
words with which people are trying to
smother IL and sooner or later the truth
will burn through the veil that is GOV.
ering it and it will shine forth before
the whole world Thus it will be also
with Henry Georges ideas.
And il seems to me that Just now
is the proper time to introduce this idea
now, and in Russia. This is just the
proper time for it, because in Russia
a revolution is going on, the serious
basis of which is the rejection by the
whole people, by the real people, of the
ownership of land. In Russia, where
nine-tenths of the population are tillers
of the soil and where this theory is mere
ly a conscious expression of that which
has always been regarded as right by
the entire Russian people-in Russia,
say, especially during this period of
of social conditions, this
dea should now find its application, and
nus the regulation, so wrongly and Grim
nally directed, would be crowned by
,reat act of righteousness. This is my
Inswer to your question about the flu
ure of Russia Unless this idea is in
reduced into the life of the people, Rus
las future can never be bright"

CHILDREN IN WAR TIME.
Third Article-How Canada Takes Care
OF Soldiers Children.

Washington, June-How Canada pro
vides for the wives and children of hel
enlisted men Is described in report
by Mr., S. Herbert Wolfe of New oYrk
prepared at the request Of the secretary
of labor and just published by the chill,
dren's bureau of the U. S. department OF
labor.
In presenting the report, Miss Lathrop
chief OF the children's bureau, says:
In the so years since the Civil war,
legislation affecting the family and It's
economic status has shown marked
growth. Mothers pension laws and min.
imum-wage laws are recognized exam
Piles, and il is acknowledged that their
result has not been to psuperize but
distinctly to improve the power of the
family to protect itself. In view of this
tendency it is to be expected that a
system of compensation for soldiers and
sailors can be developed whereby the
government will make possible for their
children the home life and parental care
which are the common need of every
child.
The report points out that in Canada
two notable elements have been added
to the government provision for soldiers
and their families; First, insurance on
the lives of the soldiers is carried by
various municipalities, and, second, the
Dominion has undertaken as part of
its military system the re-education, in
suitable occupation, of the disabled
soldier so that he can assume again, in
whole or in part, the care of his fam
lily.
The Canadian compensation for the
soldier and his family includes not only |
S33 of monthly pay for the private in
active service, but separation allow
anee to his dependents of $40 a month
from the Dominion government and fur
Their assistance in special cases from
the Canadian patriotic fund.
For example, the wife of private
soldier with three children between the
ages of 10 and Is may receive either
sl5 or $50 from the assigned pay of her
$40 separation allowance, and
s25 from the Canadian patriotic fund,
,r in all 500 or sos month.
