TOLSTOI ON LOVE
Thirty years ago Tolstoi wrote a book
wh'ch startled the religious world, says
an exchange. He called lt"My Religion'
and in it he advocated a principle for
the regeneration of society ? "Love one
another."
Kver since he wrot6 that book he has
been battling with men and women,
trying to persuade them to take the
prinecple on faith and to prove It by
practice.
He has met all arguments against the
practicalness of the principle and still
the same old rebuttals come from his
opponents and detractors.
But, at last, in this year, he has orig
inated a new method by which to prove
the truth of his principle.
The trouble has been that in the past
he has asked sodtety to begin at the
highest and most difficult point to apply
the principle '"Love one another."
If you will test the practicalness and
worth of this law and love, he says, be
gin at the lowest point. In his own
words:
"Treat not even a cow or a dog harsh
ly, but treat them kindly and affection
ately, and love In thU wav for a day or
two, or more, as an experiment, and
compare the stat9 of your soul with
what it was before. Make the experi
ment, and you will see how, instead of
a surly, angry and depressed condition,
you will be bright, merry and joyous.
Live thus a second and third week and
you will see how jour spiritual gladness
will ever grow and grow, and not only
will your work not fall into disorder, it
will but prosper more and more.
With the success of the principle of
love tested and proved in the lower
sphere, we may have hope to prore it
in the higher sphere. The first duty li
to be'.ieve and prove:
"Test it," says Tolstoi. "Resolved
for a certain period to * * * live so
as in all things to remember first of all
with every man ? thief, drunkard, rough
officer or dependent ? not to swerve
from love: that is to say, In the busi
ness you have with him; to remember
his need rather than your own. And
having so loved for the appointed terra,
ask yourself: was it hard for you and
have you injured or bettered your life?
And in accord with the rwultof your
test, decide whether it is true that the
practicc of love gives welfare in life, or
whether that is so only in words."
Certainly, there is a sweet reasonable
ness in Tolstoi's new method of testing
the truth of the law of love. For if one
cannot practice the law with the lower
creatures, how can one make it wort
with one's fellow? just as in the words
of the New Testament, "if a man can

sot love his brother whom he hath seeD,
low shall he love God whom he hath i
not seen?"
It is *11 a matter of faith, of beginning
to practlco the law, and gradually ap
plying it In sphere after sphere until
all men love God because they love one
another, and through the regeneration
jf society thero comes to be a new
heaven and earth.? Exchaage.
CAN KEEP THE CHANGE
For wh.it effect It may have on those
Alaskans who live in Seattle this sort'
of "Information" is being sent to the
Seattle Times. It is only a part of xrhat
effects to be a report of the Corson
"mass" meeting the other night, the
chill of which meeting sat upon this
town for davs. Under a Skaeway date
of June lb, the dispatch to the Times
says:
Practically every voter in and around
Slcagway attended the Corson mass
meeting here. T^e Nome man made a
?trong plea for home rule and the inter
ests of the north, as a result of which
he won many converts to his support.
Mayor Chris Shea, formerly a Cale
leader, presided at the Corson rally and
Is now one of the republican candidate's
moat enthusiastic advocates. Ska<;way
has been regarded as the C'ale hotbed
In this Dart of Alaska; but there has
been a decided change of political senti
ment so that Corson is sure to carry the
town with a majority over all of his
opponent*.
Mr. Corson can keep the change? of
political sentiment he wrought.
WAITING
Their pictures now
Adorn each page,
And baseball players
Are the rage;
The new phonoms
Are trotted out;
Old players, who
Have grown stout,
Are training down:
And the small boy
Filled with the thought
Of coming joy,
Long since has
Gladly ambled hence
To the ball park,
And the fence
Found a knot-hole.
And put his brand
Upon the same
With a steady hand,
Forgotten is
The pudgy rurt
Who erstwhile
Did the football stunt:
Forgotten is the
Horse race, too;
Forgotten Is the
Golfing crew;
Forgotten every
Thing: and all
The world waits for
The cry, "play ball!"

Mr. Shackelford says It Is only the
summer residents of Alaska who want
self governmtnt. Governor Hoggatt
says It is the saloon element. Mr. ,
Shnckelford is a regular resident and
despite the fact that he pledged himself
in the platform of the party that sent
him to Chicago to represent it he is now
outspoken against it. He presents an
absurd supposititious case in print by
way of ridiculing the proposition which
be pledged himself to favor. It is this
light regard for the pledged word of
thotfo seeking and holding positions of
trust that is disheartening to those who
are tlacere in their labors for progress.
The Goddess of Liberty contest is one
of the prettiest features of the Fourth
