TOLSTOI
MAKES
PROTEST
Count Tolstoy lias broken -out in r
strong protest against the executin',
of the patriots in Russia. lie reeite
the illegalities of trials, the hoiTibh
puni'shineuts, the faieieal travesty ot
justice and the brutalities ot his elas
to secure a longer lease of power, at a
proposes to disclaim all responsibilit.\
by incurring the wrath of the oppres
sor. ending fn the following words.:
“And, being conscious of this. I cat
no longer endure it. bet must free my
self from this intolerable position!
“It is impossible to live so! I. ai
any rate, cannot and will not live s<
“That is why I write tWs and wil
circulate it by all means in my povve
both 11 "Russia and abroad: that one
of iwo tlnngs may hnbimn—either that
these inhuman deeds must 1 o stopper
or that my connection with them ma;
be snapped and T put in prison, when
r •'-'•v b^ clearly consci’ous that the:
horrors are not committed on my be
half: or. still better (so good that
dare not even dream of such happi
ness). they may put on me, as on tl»on<
twenty or twelve peasants, a slirom
and a cap. and may push me also ofi
a bench, so that by my own weight 1
may tighten the well-soaped noose
around my own throat.*'
The New York Dail yCall adds:
“It may be added that to those whe
are acquainted with the methods o:
the Russian government, it will not bt
much of a shock if the request of tin
old savant be granted. They have no:
forgotten that Nicholas Tchaiko.fsk\
and Madam Braskowskaya are stil
famishing in the fortress of St. Petei
and St. Paul.”

THE REWARD OF ABILITY.
Tiiai philosophic champion of boodle
W. 11. Mallock, has written another
book to prove that the capitalists are
■ntilled to all they get: it t's the rent
if their “ability." he says.
In plain language, they have tin
right to rob us because they have the
ability to rob us!
We are unphilosophi'cal enough our
selves to deny that the long head gives
any more right to rob than the long
arm.
P.ill Sykes has the ability to burgle
Mr. Matlock's spoons, but should he do
so, instead of recognizing that the swag
was the legitimate fruit of superior
merit, our philosopher would assuredly
ring up the police, and do his illogical
larndest to land the enterprising Wil
liam in the “jug."
Society has handed together to
thwart and punish the “ability” of
Burglar Sykes. Similarly ft will have
to combine in action against Burglar
Boodle.
So that, after all. Mr. M.. wo needn't
quarrel much with your philosophy, for
if rent, interest and profit are the right
ful reward of Boodle's ability to rob
the people, socialism is justified as the
ability of the people to protect them
selves.—Bri'sbane Worker.

PROSPERITY PILLS
The Pill Peddlers Popular Panacea
for Panics—A Pipedream.
“I see," said the* man fmm Missouri,
"that there is a lot o( hard times still
on tlie outside.”
"Not for long,” said the Roosevelt
Republican. “They've got a Prosperity
League in St. Louis, and soon well
have all the soup kitchens with signs
‘To Rent’ after Taft is elected."
"And may I inquire," said the man
from Missouri, “what’s this prosperity
league that you talk about?"
"Well, sir," said the R. R„ “it’s like
this: One Hugo Munsterberg, who
testified that when Orchard lied in the
Rqfse trials he was speaking the truth
from the professor’s psychological
standpoint—he has discovered that the
cause of the panic is that the people
have so much money that they are
ifraiil to spend any of it. and the
'vague is established to separate these
hoarders from their wad.”
“That’s a great idea, a great idea."
said the man from Missouri, “and it
reminds me of a smart guy I used to
mow in Missouri some years back.
“I’ll tell you about it," said the man
from Missouri, as he drew his seat
nearer the stove. “This man's name
was Lucullus John Smith. He came
iround my home town of Mudville
.vhen the last panic was on, and he
•pened up a hall where he delivered
ectures on panics, prosperity and free
silver. He had with him a trained
monkey that used to liven up tlie lec
tures with his antics. Now, Smith
'barged no fee for admission to his
hall, hut at the close of his discourse
ip peddled pale pills for pink people at
twenty dollars per bottle. Don’t run
away with the notion that Lucullus
was a nature fakir. His pills were noi
warranted to purge tlie blood, purifj
tlie liver, tone up the system, nor hell
make men as strong as Jiujitsu. tlie
Jap wrestler. No. sir. He called hh
pills ‘prosperity pills' and he guaran
teed that one bottle would fix up tin
finances of any one partaking of it and
two bottles would restore prosperity
to the bankrupt bum. Well, sir. he
sold a mighty lot of Ihem pills to thf
local magnates who were affected bj
the financial depression that struck
Mudville as well as the other great
centers of American industry. Smith
produced testimonials from Rockefel
ler, Carnegie, Sam Gompers and
Bishop Potter. He had a character
from Mark Hanna and a reference
front Morgan end a'l our leading citi
zens, and su'd that the effects of the
medicine was wonderful. Why. Mug
gins, that run the Mudv.Tc Emporium
startled the el..tans by painting the
store re 1 wldte and blue, same as it
used to be in the good old times.
“Tile great drawback, of course, wat
that ’prosperity ■pills' was so dear
Twenty dollars was a heap of monev
for a poor man to pay for goods, and
after all, it was the poor man that
needed the pills most. However, Lu
cullus was a reasonable gent, and he
stated to us that if assistance was
given him to build a factory he could
make tlie pills a sight cheaper. So a
company was started and money came
pouring into Mudville to construct the
business. Smith used to stroll around
and pofnt to the building going up as a
proof of the value of ‘prosperity pills.'
“It is a pity that factory never start
ed to work,” and the man from Mis
souri spat In strenuous reminiscence
at the stove.
"How was that?" asked the Roose
velt Republican.
The man from Missouri pulled him
self together wfth att effort.
“It was a great loss to the world,"
he declared. “You see, just before the
last patent pill machine was installed
in the building the monkey swallowed
all the remaining ‘prosperity pills' and
ate the only copy of the prescription
that Lucullus held. Smfth told a
bunch of angry shareholders that It
would take him 10 years more to work
out the ingredients in his laboratory
back East—there was 1621 of ’em, he
said. The doctors and Democrat poli
ticians held a post mortem on the
monkey to try and find the receipt."
And the man from Missouri became
sunk in the sadness of bygone
thoughts.
“What happened to Smith?" said
the Roosevelt Republican.
“We buried him in ten same grave
as the monkey," said the man from
Missouri, and lie again became im
mersed in sombre meditation.

TRICKS OF THE MURDERERS.
A press dispatch from El Paso,
Tex., says that the “revolutionists”
who are now under “protection" of the
Mexican army will probably be given
a chance to escape, and will be shot
while doing so. Then it adds: “This
plan of intimating to the prisoners the
hope of escape has been used before
in Mexico in similar cases, hut escape
is impossible. This plan, it is said,
is carried out when there is little hope
of a legal execution." There you have
it. When men cannot be found guilty
they are given "protection" by the
army and then beguiled into an act so
they may be executed without trial.
Now it happens that in this case the
“revolutionists" are nothing but strik
ers, and the reason for the strike is
that the American capitalists in Mex
ico are making labor conditions there
unbearable. Perhaps one reason why
there are six million men out of em
i ployment in the United States is be
cause American capitalists are en
abled to do precisely as they please in
Mexico and are employing Mexican
laborers instead. Yet they are "pa
triotic” and would have one believe
that old glory is their private proper
ty—Appeal to Reason.

COMMON SENSE.
I.ittlH Bobby believes in mixing com
mon sense with missionary work. At
the missionary meeting the speaker
told of a ship which had just left
China with only seven missionaries on
board and 7,000 gallons of rum in the
hold, both being sent by a Christian
nation to the heathen. He called on
the congregation to give liberally to
help this state of affairs. After the
meeting, Bobby's mother was surprised
to find he still held his quarter.
""’by, Bobby,” she said, "why didn’t
vou give that money to the heathen as
we told you?”
“Well, didn’t you think, maw, we’d
better wait until they use that rum up
before we send them any more?"

GO TO AFRICA.
Another bishop was addressing a
Sunday school in the western districts.
"And now, children," he said, "let
me tell you a very sad fact. In Africa
there are ten million square miles
without a single Sunday school for the
little children to go to on Sunday.
Vow- what should we save our pennies
for? Remember, In all this country in
Africa there are no Sunday schools.
What shall ive do, children? Speak
up!"
And with one voice the class made
answer, "Go to Africa.”

Grover Cleveland said:
“If the socialist parties were to
mark the full count of those who have
become imbued with the fallacies of
the non-competitive state of society
they would be found to be more than
a million strong, and It will be no
matter of surprise to me If the returns
show more than that up to the point
of having tripled the record made four
years ago.” .1
