The news who a came Early la it that Tolstoy had suddenly determined to go away from his Home to die in Solitude called Forth afresh expressions of the diverse views taken of the Man and his teachings. Many people have regarded him with doubts of his sincerity if not of his Complete pity Liis later writings moving their minds to pity or repulsion. There have been severe criticisms of alleged contrasts Between his teachings and his practice. The numerous photo graphs showing him in the russian peasant costume working in the Fields have created in minds the impression that he was during the Clos ing years of his life something of. A Poser. Or. Roosevelt in an article the Outlook in Hay of last year even so far is to say that Tolstoy had in him certain area Dou qualities of the moral Pervert but it May be doubted whether the with All his strenuous versatility is capable of sympathetically understand ing a nature so completely different Ilioiu his own As Tolstoy s was. In thinking Over what Tolstoy was sir a what work he did in the world. Think of the writer whose Hooks sound among the greatest masterpieces literature and then of the map. Who forsook Art to devote him or if to trin attempt realize the of Christ As they impressed these Ivis on his mind. Those who have his condemn ers need in t of car that Many will follow his example. Incidentally he was excommunicated from the Kussian Church by tie holy Synod in regard to which matter the countess Tolstoy wrote a letter of protest to the procurator of the holy Synod in which she declared in a worthy of Tolstoy himself that the real renegades Are not those wander away in search of truth but those who placed at the head of the Church act As spiritual exec whatever May be thought or some of his teachings As Ini Sukic a. Ami of his efforts to make the world its misdirected he was beyond tues Tion on of. The world figures of his Tirol. There Good reason to be life that the nobility of his Char Acter As a Prophet of human brother Hood will impress itself upon the memory succeeding generations. What the future will do with his Trines no one can say. As for their effect upon own people a writer a studied Russia Lias Faid that it is quite possible that the of fifty years hence May revive Tolstoy ism is a religious cult Voth a mythical figure a Tolstoy in the background and around his name o great tango Man Himsel i horror. Of traditions which the would regard with Temperance prospects in Manitoba. If there any real satisfaction and influence of practically every whisky seller in the province of Mani Toba. dealers knew very Well that the Roblin government was their As they Are not in politics for their health Only they supported them by every Means in their Power. The government was also fortunate enough to have the support in Large measure of those Active Temperance workers whose natural affiliations Are with the conservative party. Naturally they were unable to see any reason Why they should not stay with their party. Had they not the Assur Ance of the Temperance leaders of this province that the Roblin government had placed on the statute Book the most advanced Temperance legislation Ever passed by a legislative body in Canada could they not recall Occa Sions when reverend gentlemen and other parties Active in the Temperance movement had headed delegations to the local government and had there delivered addresses in which they had slopped Over in their eulogies of the legislation passed by the government under these circumstances the conservative Temperance people throughout the country were justified in the belief that they could with Clar consciences support the govern ment. Some of them will however be surprised to learn now that the government is safely in office for term of year that the Roblin govern ment s local option Law in place of being the Best Ever put upon the stat Ute Book in Canada is absolutely the worst since it is impossible for a con test to be held under it with any show of Success. The local option Law Iti its opera Tion has so discouraged the temper Ance people that they feel it hopeless to continue under present conditions the expenditure of time and Money which they have made within the last few years but it can safely be said that the members of the licensed Victualler association Are by no Means dissatisfied with the Prospect. They find no difficulty in bringing on tests for the repeal of local option and after they get a favourable verdict from the people they Are Able to de fend their advantage in the courts. During the next five years under the operation of the existing local option Law they will gradually but surely Root out local option from every municipality in the province save a few where the Temperance sentiment is so Strong As to be impregnable. This is the Prospect lie fore the Temperance people of Manitoba. Made shoe Huhe wide Range of designs in Queen Quality allows Lull exercise of your own individuality. A style for every taste and a Choice of patterns for each style. Robinson affairs previous to the elections. The statements Are now appearing is local j papers throughout the province. This j provision applies Only to ties not having a charter. Winnipeg Brandon St. Boniface and Portage la Prairie Are therefore exempt. In Winnipeg and St. Boniface the ratepayers a Reader s notes books Are a utter world within the the illustrated Booklet. Belle issued by Cassell and co., is at once an ingenious advertisement and Are made aware of the elections com j an interesting document. It seems ing on by the receipt of their tax Bills that the Home of this publishing firm and it would not he out of place if at is in a building in the heart of London the same time each ratepayer furnished with a statement of affairs of these cities. Walt Mason s Corner the Tariff in the states. Among the political rumours current in the Washington correspondence of newspapers in the United states one is that there is talk among republicans of having president Taft Call the new House of representatives in which the democrats Are in the majority into special session in March nex for Tariff revision. It seems thought that this up Tho task As hop lets. Ii St lil 5n saying we told you the free i Ress would derive not a Little gratification from the announcement made in these columns a few Days ago that the organized Temperance forces of this province have come to the conclusion that the local option Law on the statute look of this province is tin unworkable and impossible Law. The Iii ivc confession is made that the Law is perhaps the Best in Canada it Only it could be brought into opera Tion it the in the Way of doing this n re so great that the Temperance people have virtually Given it is announced that they will embark in no further province wide campaigns unless the Manitoba government in re a Pons to their requests passes a Law i nailing Tho simultaneous submission of Ideal option petitions in every municipality in the province. In vim of j the admission that the pressure of the j Temperance forces applied now for in some years has been fruitless in in i fluting the government to add a Sav i ing clause to the local option Law which would make it workable it is in perhaps nut difficult to estimate their chances of getting the new Law which they intend to ask for. Failing this future contests Are to i be Over the wider areas provided for under the Canada Temperance act. Legislation for which the Liberal government at Ottawa and not those firm friends of Temperance the Roblin government is responsible. Under the Canada Temperance act the local option vote can be taken for the whole area of a parliamentary constituency Tho voters list being that employed in Dominion elections a provision which bars out the non resident vote which has been so effective in defeating local option in Many Manitoba municipalities. It can be. Safely predicted that if the Mani Toba Temperance forces resort to the Canada Temperance act they will be Mot by a refusal on the part of the local government to enforce the Law. Tiie Ottawa House is within its Powers in passing the Canada tem Perance act but its enforcement must to left to the provincial authorities and our provincial government can be relied upon to ignore the Dominion statute and even to plume itself on thus vindicating the rights of the pro vince., age inst Federal the Temperance forces Are therefore virtually in an impasse. This admission of impotence comes at the Nio rent Evhen the Koblin government the authors of the local option Law which is so Beautiful to contemplate Ami so unworkable in practice have been safely installed in office for live snore years. In the late election Cam Ispa Ign tie Rowin government had the Dative and efficient support in Money would be a pretty shrewd move from a party standpoint the idea of the Republican strategists being that As the washing ton correspondent of the new York times puts it the democrats will get to tangled up in their attempts at Tariff revision As to lose All the advantage they have obtained from the recent election and that there will be a full year for this inability of theirs to sink into the minds the voters before the presidential election of "1912." 1c the president Waits for the newly elected House to get Down to business in the regular Way the democrats will be Able the Republican strategists say further to delay matters so far into the summer of 1912 that the party conventions will have been held and the presidential Campaign to under Way before it appears whether they Are going to Stic eed or fail at their work. The Tritth of the matter appears to be that the two parties be. Not Only sharply divided from each other on the Tariff question but they Are sharply divided among themselves. Wheezy.
