No Nation Self-Sufficing-.
Despite proud boasts made la Taunting spirit
from time to time by nearly every civilized na
I tloo that it Is self-sufficing, tbe test quickly
furnishes conclusive disproof. Tbe interlacing
: of world activities and world interests has
pronrrmra so iar inn me uisrupuon oi peace
ful intercourse has far-reaching effects entirely
unforeseen and unforeseeable.
While almost any nation can doubtless In
time readjust itself so as to get along lnde-
pendently, the readjustment, if permanent.
, would be a step backward in' tbe scale of
progress. In other words, there can be no such
thing aa a civilisation wholly unto Itself. The
interchange of the products of industry, of ideas
and of customs, and tbe Intermingling of differ
ent peoples, Is necessary to produce the action
and reaction that lifts nations upward and on
ward. If any country on earth could be com
pletely self-sufficing It would be the United
States, yet we already percleve what the dis
turbance due to this European war means for
ua even at this safe and comfortable distance
from the scene of hostilities.
Just aa all history is one, all the peoples of
the world are Interdependent In near or remote
degree.

Tht First Cabinet Change.
In the selection of Attorney General Mo
Reynolds to fill the vacancy In the aupreme
court created by the death of Associate Justice
Lurton, tbe president himself is responsible for
the first break in his cabinet, which he had
hoped to keep intact.
McReynolds' appointment, together with
that of Thomas Watt Gregory to be attorney
general, is In the form of official promotion and
to that extent beyond criticism. It may be only
Incidental that McReynolds and Lurton both
came from Tennessee, also that ths new cabinet
member halls from Texas, whence came origi
nally both the secretary of agriculture and the
postmaster general. Messrs. Houston and Bnrie
son. Secretary Houston, though charged up to
Missouri, where he was residing when, ap
pointed, is more of a Texas man. Tbe south Is

full Into the stirrups.
The attorney ggneral-elect la commended as
specially fitted for his new duties by much ex
perience in trust-busting, even more so than his
predecessor, whose advancement to the supreme
court attests the president's satisfaction with
hlra.

The Next Pope.
Were Cardinal Rampolla living he would be
tho logical successor to Pius X, for It will be
recalled that he was kept from the Vatican only
by tbe veto power which Austria exercised
against him. He had received a sufficient num
ber of Votes In the college of cardinals when
the veto was interposed, resulting in the choice
of Oulseppe Barto. The generous-hearted
Venetian urged that the veto be disregarded
and the great papal secretary of state be ac
corded the office, but Rampolla refused. Almoat
the first official act of Plus wss to abolish this
right of veto In papal elections.
While always a chance of a dark horse can
didate in these solemn contests, the absence of
factions, such as existed eleven years ago in the
college of cardinals, foreshadows easy agree
ment. On the surface Cardinal Maffl is the fa
vored one. Aa when Pius X entered the Vat
ican the church was distinctly asking more for
special spiritual emphasis, so today in the midst
of war and political turmoil, the chief need, in
the mind of church dignitaries, Is for a pope
able to deal with governmental leaders ac.1
sad in the adjustment of the church's relatione
with various seats of temporal power. Such a
man was Rampolla and the general belief Is
that such a man will be elected pope.
The Liege Poem.
Ahead of all others England's poet laureate
has set to the music of verse the valor of Bel
glum. William Watson has given us the poem en
titled "Liege," end that, too. without making the
name rhyma with "siege." It Is remlttdtul of tbe
part msrtlal airs and eple poetry have played In
tbe drama of world wars. There Is an Irristlble
appeal In their lines to the national fire that
glows, In a patriot's breast, although we may
hope that, stirring as are the worda of this little
poem, they will not augment the already over
powering hordes now spreading desolation over
the little battle-beaten kingdom of Belgium.
And the poem runs:
Betwixt the foe and France was she,
France the Immortal, France the Free;
The foe Ilk on vaat living aea
Drew nigh.
He dreamed that none hla tide would etay,
But when he bade her to make way .
She, through her cannon, anawered, "Nay,
Not I."
No tremor and no fear ah showed;
h held the pass, aha barred the road
While death's unsleeping feet bestrode
The ground.
So long aa deede f noblest worth
Are sung mid Joy and tears and mirth,
Her glory shall to the nds of earth
Resound,
i
Watched by a world that yearned to aid
Lonely ah stood, but undismayed,
Resplendent was the part she played
And pure.
Praised b ber heroes, proud her eons;
Fhe threw her soul Into the guns.
Her name shall with the loveliest ones
Endure.
Basinets Men in Public Life.
Much as "big business" ts criticised in thlw
country, it is to be credited with one good serv
Ice In helping to rouse the conscience and
quicken the genius of the government. It got
such a bis lead on the law that it has taken ten
years of hard work simply to determine whether
a slngl) act of legislation was capable of doing
the very thing for which It was specifically in
tended. Evn then, the Sherman law has been
fortified by aeveral kindred statutes In the effort
te overtake the fleet-footed trusts.
Had Americans been In the habit of putting
the same acumen Into the management of their
publlo as their private affairs, surely we would
not hav witnessed the struggle that has ensued
in the laat few years. 8o we say that it now our
people have been rouaed to thla realization, they
owe mora than they can easily repay to much
maligned "big business."
Naturally eaouah. the demand (or a curb on
rapacious private enterprises led to other abuses
in the form of demagogy and r-polls. These in
turn operate to check the very work that needs
most to be done. In tbe end we find ourselves
still victims of political incompetency, where
we should have large-sized statesmanship. So we
are just as much fare to face now as ever with
the folly of not putting into our public business
tbe same degree of efficiency that we require for
our private affairs. More than ever, politics has
become a game In which, not the ablest, but the
craftiest win, although sometimes the abllest
men may also be the craftiest. The appeal to
prejudice by the self-seeker tends to make people
almost insist that the man asking their support
offer them some quack nostrum guaranteed to
cure all civil and political Ills. Here comes a cry
from an element of sober-minded folk for "busi
ness men" In public affairs, but the average bus
iness man has email chance of winning over the
average professional demagogue. It may be an
unpleasant picture to draw, but all too true to
facts.
The Enisian Jew.
If it were possible to divest the history of
the Russian Jew of the awful tragedy sur
rounding it, tbe czar's sppeal to "My beloved
Jewa" might be viewed as merely a flash of hu
mor against the dark canopy of European war.
The cxar has reminded the Jews of all they owe
Russia, and particularly the house of uomanoff,
and urges them to take up arms for their coun
try, adding that Jewish and Russian Interests
are identical.
The duplicity of the czar's professions Is al
most too transparent. It reminds the student
of history of the snswer young Chsrles XII of
Sweden msde when his chief advisers urged him.
to accept Csar Peter's overtures of peace: "He
does not mean what he says." The Intrepid
and youthful Swedish warrlor-klng knew from
experience. And the Jews of today know from
experience, which accounts for the supplemen
tary note that they "are somewhat backward in
responding."
Russia's persistent persecution of the Jew Is
one of the defenseless outrsges of the age. It
sets medieval night down in the very noon-day
of the twentieth century. It combines Intoler
ance and barbarism in a way shocking to mod
ern civilization. It has made Russia the out
law of the nations. What a travesty to say
that the Jew owes Russia anything with the
echoes of the Bellta trial still In our ears. The
Russian Jew has known neither civil nor relig
ious liberty under the relentless house of Ro
manoff, but, on the other hand, by characteristic
thrift and frugality, he has contributed vsntly
to Its enrichment and power. The Jew who
lights for Russia will be inspired by a sense of
patriotism to his country, not of gratitude to
Its rulers.
Summer Work for the Pastor.
"We have a strong suspicion that the most
acceptable calling that the average minister can
do In summer will be somewhere about his own
home on the front porch, In the back yard, or
maybe in his study."
No, gentle reader, this is no knock on the
church by an iconoclast with a hammer, but
quite tb contrary, It is seriously offered as ad
vice by on of the principal church papers In the
country. "We quite expect to receive letters in
protest to this observation," It goes on to say,
"explaining how effective someone's pastoral
calls have been In hot weather, but we are stub
born enough to think they present exceptions.
In most cases as the minister comes up the walk,
or Is seen through an upstairs window as he
climbs the outer steps, there will be exclamations
which would be disturbing If he heard them."
The suggestion offered, and which seems a
highly common-sense one, is that tbe minister
should make his plans conform with the seasons
just as does the business man and the profes
sional man. The Idea Is that summer work and
winter work and spring work and fall work can
and should be differentiated with advantage to
all concerned in the church as well as ou,t of it.
Much ateam, but little headway, may be expected
from overdriving the religious chariot In the hot
spell, while conserved effort may meet with bet
ter success under more favorable conditions. Un
questionably, system and adaptation to circuru-
atancea will do as much for a pastor as it does
for his parishioners.
The president of the American association.
In which base ball circle St. Louis belongs,
speaks of the disappointing attendancea there,
whose team is this year last in tbe race. The
St- Paul Dispatch retorts: "He makes no ob
servation of the disappointment, not to say
chagrin, and dismay, which came to those who
did attend." Ditto Omaha.
Our election commissioner is going to try to
locate some gentlemen over in Iowa said to be
registered as voters in Omsha. While about it,
won't he pleas try to run down the Omaha
colonizers who were paid off at the rat of $2

office tor ths last spring city election across the
river?

Referring to the threatened sell u re of Klao-

TOLSTOY'S PHOPHETIO VISION Interview with
Count Leo Tolstoy by his g-reat-niece, Countess Nastasia
Tolstoy, in the autumn of 1910. This startling interview
was printed in The Bee in 1913, over a year ago, when
many readers preserved it for future reference, and is
printed again because of numerous requests.
HAMMER TAPS.
"This la a revelation of events of a universal character which must shortly
come to raea. Their spiritual outlines are now before my eyes. I see floating
upon the aurface of the aea of human fate the huge silhouette of a nude woman.
Bha la with her beauty, her polae, her smile, her Jewels a super-Ve'ius. Na
tions rush madly after her, each of them eager to attract her eepeclally. Rut
he, like an eternal courtesan, fllrta with all. In her hair ornament of diamonds
and rubies Is engraved her ncme, "Commercialism. As alluring and bewltchln
as she neema. much destruction and agony follows In her wake. Her lueath.
reeking of sordid transactions, her voice of metallic character like gold and nor
look of greed are so much nolnon to the nations who fall victims to her charms.
"And behold, she bes three gigantic arms with three torches of universal
corruption In her hand. The flrat torch represents the flame of war that the
beautiful courtesan 'carrlea from city to city and country to country. Patriotism
annwers with flanhes of honest flame, but the end Is the roar of guns and mus
ketry. 'The second torch bears the flames of bigotry and hypocrlay. It lights
'the I am pa only in temple and on the altars of sacred Institutions. It carries
the seed of falalty and fanaticism. It kindles the minds that are still In cradles
and follows them to their graves.
"The third torch Is that of the law, that dangerous foundation of all un
authentic traditions, which first does Its fatal work In the family, then sweeps
throuKh the larger worlds of literature, art and statesmanship.
"The great conflagration will start about 1912, set by the torch of the first
arm in the countries of southeastern Europe. It wilt dVvelop into a destruc
tive calamity In 1913. In that year I see all Kurope in flames and bleeding. I
hear the lamentations of huge battle fields. But about the year 1915 a strange
figure from the north a new Napoleon enters the stage of the bloody drams. He
Is a man of little militaristic training, a writer or a Journalist, but In Ma
grip most of Europe will remain until 19!o. The end of the great calamity will
mark a new political era for the Old World. There will be left no empires and
kingdoms, but the world will form a federation of the United State of Nations.
.There will remain only four great giants th Anglo-Saxons, the Latins, the
Slavs and the Mongolians.
"After the year 192S I See a change In religious sentiments. The second
torch of the courtesan has brought about the fall of the church. The ethical
l'a has almost vanished. Humanity Is without the moral feeling. But then, a
great reformer arises. He will clear the world of the relics of monotheism and
lay the cornerstone of pantheism. Cod. soul, spirit and immortality will be molten
In a new furnace, and I see the peaceful beginning of an ethical era. The man
determined to this mission Is a Mongolian-Slav. He Is already walking the earth
-a man of active affairs. He himself does not now realise the mission assigned
'to him by a superior power. .
"And behold th flame of the third torch, which ha already begun to de
stroy our family relations, our standards of art and morals. The relation be
tween woman and man Is accepted aa a prosaic partnerahlp of the sexes. Art
has become realistic degeneracy. Political and religious disturbances have shaken
the spiritual foundations of all nations. Only small spot a here and there have
remulned untouched by those three destructive flames. The antl-natlonal wars
In Kurope, the class war of America and the rac wars In Asia have strangled
progress for half a century. But then. In the middle of history, I see a hero of
literature and art rtslng from the ranks of the Latins and' purging the world of
the tedious stuff of the obvious. It ts the light of symbolism. In place of the
polygamy and monogamy of today there will come a poetroamy a relation of
the sexes based fundamentally upon noetic conceptions of life.
"And I see the nations growing wiser and realizing that the alluring woman
of their destinies is, after ail. nothing but an Illusion. There will be a time
when the world will have no use for armies, hypocritical religions and degener
ate art.. Life Is evolution, and evolution Is development from the Mmple to the
more complicated forms of the mlntand body. I see the passing show of the
world-drama in Its present form, how it fades like the glow of evening upon
the mountains. One motion of the hand of Commercialism and a pew history
begins."
