August 28. the Impotent fury of the govDespite ernment, the curse of the holy synod and the rage of the "black hundred those dark reactionaries who seek to prolong the night of despotism In the land of the csar all Russia Joined today In celebrating the eightiFT. eth anniversary of the aeatest living A giRussian, fount Leo Tolstoi. gantic pilgrimage to the great novelist's home at Tula. In Tasnaya Polyana, was a feature of the celebration. The pilgrim made the trip on foot, living the simple life on the road, and on reaching Tula formed an encampment and selected a committee to present congratulations to Tolstoi. The protests against the celebration have , made by the reactionary element been mainly futile. An extraordinary feature, however, was a prayer delivered by Father John of fninstadt. In which he made the following amaalng supplication: "Take from the earth Thy blasphemer. the wicked and unrepenting Leo Tolstoi, and all hla followers, together with Witte, that friend of the Jews, the destroyer of Russia. The fact that no prayer can be recited in Russian churches without the sanction of the holy synod la significant of the hatred In which the reactionary party In Russia hold their greatest literary man. "I cannot Bo Silent. Many independent newspapers honored Tolstoi today by repeating hla recent appeal, 1 Cannot Re Silent, the In which he passionately denounced the wholesale executions that are taking place throuhgout Russia. It la expected that many Journalists will be Imprisoned In consequence of their daring In criticising the actions of the government. The Russian officials realise, however, that to harm the aged novelist would be to bring the wrath of the whole civilised world down upon Rnsala and there la no possibility of the realisation of hla dream that "they may put on me. too, a shroud and a ran and may push me off a bench so that by my own weight I may tighten the well soaked nooae around my old throat. In hla hopes of a happy future for Russia, Count Tolstoi looks not to the ftoctallsts or the Republicans, but to the teachings of an American. Henry fleorge, the father of the single tax movement. Henry George System. declared Count "I llrmly believe Tolstoi to a friend recently, "that the only thing that would pacify the pro OF THE PEOPLE now Is the introduction of the system of Henry George. I have outlined a plan according to which the agrarian question can be solved, and bave submitted my plan to the government as well aa to the Puma. I have written about it to one who occupies a high post in the official world, and whore family I have known very well. But hi hands are tied. Ilia attitude toward the court and toward hla enemies Is such that h cannot do anything In this direction. I do not reproach him. I only feel sorry for him. They do not undestand that the proper solution of the land question la the only means of purifying nine-tentof the Russian population. "Aa I have pointed out In my Introductory note to the Ruslan version of Burial Problems, Henry Georges great Idea, outlined eo clearly and no thoroughly more than thirty years ago, remains to this day entirely unknown to the great majority of the people. This la quite natural. Henry George's Idea, which changes the entire system In the lives of nations In favor of the oppressed, volrleas majority, and to the detriment of the ruling minority, la so undeniably convincing, and, above all, so simple, that It is Impossible not to understand It, and, understand It, It Is impossible not to make an effort to Introduce it into practice, and therefore the only meane against this Idea la to pervert It and to paaa It In silence. And thla has been true of the Henry George theory for more than thirty yearn. It has been both perverted and paaaed In alienee, eo that It has become difficult to Induce people to read hla work attentively and to think about hs it The Single Tax Idas. "It la true that there are In England, Canada, the United States, and Germany very good little Journals devoted to the single tax Idea, but they have only an Inslgnlflcenat number of Subscribers, Among the majority of the Intelligent people throughout the world the ideaa of Henry George are unknown, and the Indifference toward them la even Increasing. Society does with Ideas that disturb Its peace and Henry George la one of these exactly what the bee does with the worms which It considers dangerous but which It 1 powerless to destroy.
