His. humility and eelf-abnegation have proved powerful weapons in the edvoeacy of abused and misun- derstood India. There is no hurry bout the man and a complete ab- gence of cant or propaganda. He calmly avows his faith and turns to the spinning wheel, living his own Mfe unmindful of what the world thinks of his idiosyncrasies. Time, to him, is as nothing and he is will- ing to wait until the problems of his ‘pation are settled. He advances no pansceas or pallistives, but restricts his ples to certain fundamentals which he believes must be accepted if India is to be free and self-govern- ing. He does not see India as perfect. In his radio, address recently, Gandhi criticized the division over religious belists and the foolish customs of & caste system which be blamed for the slow progress’ of Indis toward freedom for ell peoples of his na- tion. On this point he sald: “Tt is a matter of still deeper hu- miliaijon to me that we Hindus fe- gard several million of our own kith end kin as too degraded even for our touch-the so-called untouch- doctrine of “self purification.” He is pot afraid to discuss the short- comings of his own people and his afbal ALE ‘That In Texas the legislature is wrang- for them by law ‘something which they would much better do for them: selves’ without recourse to statute.

Draw Your Own Moral Too often, we hear the cynical re~ mark that the offenses which @ man commits are not really important, it is getting caught that eounts. Arguments for this theory as well as for the more logical one that every wrong thing a man does leaves %/ an indelible imprint upon him, are contained in the case of Eri ©. Oakes, a New Hampehire judge who killed himself Friday shortly after he had resigned his place on the superior court of that state. The judge drove his automobile into a telephone pole in the elty of Milton on September 13 and # po- lieeman investigated. He reported that the jurist was under the influ- ence of liquor when the aceldent oc- curred, ‘Thursday the New Hempehire commissioner of moter vehicles re- voked Judge Oakes’ license to drive an automobile. The public was ap- prised of that fact. Thenicame the resignation and suicide. ‘Those who wish to draw a moral from the case easily can do so. You Swallow It It is easy for some persons to be Pleasant and affable everywhere ex- cept at home. Others find it easy to sympathize when it costs them nothing; diffi- cult to help when it means real sac- rifice or effort. Nearly all of us like to give advice to others but dislike to swallow the same medicine when it is offered to, us. Few, however, ‘give advice in one breath and refuse“to adppt the same idea the next _gs the pastmasters of the country did ‘Thuradsy at their convention in Omaha. At one point in their deliberations they passed a resolution praising President Hoover's policy of economy in government. At another, shortly after, they killed. a resolution pro- posing that congress defer action on ® Pending bill which would: reise the selaries. of first and . second-class postmasters. Taken together, the resolutions would seem to be an indictment to both the sincerity and good sense of the men in the convention.
