Gand- hi, according to the news dispatches, has been arregted. Sastri, who Is writing about him, is his political opponent, but in the following article he refrains from dealing with his political activities and confines him- self to Gandhl, the man, and his mes- sage. e The article is as follows: Politics life. Mr. G ) nance “the s aim is to st tion and red —simple, rounded. pure. It mer ppens’ that for the moment hi ivity is in the fleld of politics. It merély h moment ent and ath. ens the moment his cry of Swar aj for India has caught the ear of the world and the world is anxious to know what his Swar aj i His real and final objective is a radical reform of humankind. His gospel is “Back to naure.” He avows himself an implacable enemy of west- ern civilization. 1In his mighty war against western civilization Swar aj for India is but a campalgn. The rules of the campaign are the rules of the mighty w be used in are weapons to be used in the mighty war; the virtues to be evoked by the campaign are the virtues w win the mighty war in the end. The cardinal rule of both, the war and the campaign, is non-violence. Non-violence is of the heart as well as of the body. By thought, word or act you may not injure your ad- versary. Enemy in a personal sense is too strong a word for his diction- ary. But as the adversary does not follow the rule, you will be sub- jected to great suffering and loss. Rejoice in the suffering and loss and court them; if you cannot rejoice in them. do mot avoid or complain against them. Love your enemies; if you cannot love them, pardon them and never retaliate against them. Force is wrong and must go under.

But, what- ever the scverity of the measures which such action may provoke the authorities to adopt, non-co-operators are precluded from the slightest in- fraction of the commandant to uon-violence. To understand Mr. Gandhi's view of life, attention must be fixed on the rules he has lald down for the regula- tion of his Ahmedabad institution. {ts name, Satyagrahasrama, means t| hermitage of the determined practice of truth or the abode of soul force. The asrama is still small. It has had no real chance of proving its vitality, for ever since its establishment other things have claimed the energies of its founder. But the attginment of its objects is conditioned by the in- crease of its numbers and the ac- ceptance by the community at large f those austere ideals which are at present exemplifiecd in the lives of w few aposties. No estimate can be formed of the prospective influence f the new gospel without an ex- amination of its real nature. All Force Barred. Truth in the highest sense is pos- sible only where the individual enjoys complete freedom. All forms of force or coercion are thus at once barred. Compulsion, authority, government— these are anathema maranatha to one who at bottom is a philosophical anarch. In fact, he describes the essence of his doctrine sometimes as love, sometimes as truth, sometimes as non-violence (ahimsa); these terms are, in his opinion, interchangeable. No organized government. in the ideal justifiable. The merit of i government Is that it Even a family and a trust entirely to the and moral reasoning. agrant misconduct he deals with - himself, fasting for a certain number of days, the guilty party be- ing invariably brought to a state of contrition within that period. Some time ago he applied this remedy to end a serious strike in a mill,” the employers coming_to reason for fear of incurring sin. Within the last few weeks the violence practiced by somé persons in Bombay in the name of non-ce-operation on the occasion of the Prince of Wales' visit entailed this form of self-chastisement on his part, and by all accounts it had the desired result. Nobody is entitled to possess more than is absolutely necessary for the moment. To hold in excess of the need is to be guilty of theft. He and his wife have given away all their property—he practiced law for many vears with success—and now own nothing beyond the clothes they wear and a change or two and maybe a bag or box to contain these. The asrama in Ahmedabad contains the barest necessaries. Firm for Spindle. Each person must supply his wants by his own exertion. The ideal is to grow the corn that one eats and weave the cloth that one wear: school and | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, - D.

In fact, the spindle grown to be a fetish with Mr. Gandhi. Its music has a charm for him. He prescribes it for all—men and women. Boys must prefer it to bool Lawyers must cast away their briefs for it. Doctors must abandon stethoscope and take to ft. So far, {its products have been coarse; but, he asks, can a man or woman Jook more beautiful than in the khaddar made by himself or her- self? When a lady pupil of his wore the first sari of her own making he surveyed her and pronounced her di- vinely attractive. Without a doubt his eyes so saw her and his mind so Judged her. Control of the senses Is a requisite of the first order of Importance. It is very hard and can be only very slow, but it must be incessantly and ruthlessly practiced. _Luxuries are, of course, taboo. Even comforts must be steadily reduced. The palate is a particularly venal sense and has to be rigidly curbed. Simple hard fare is a condition of spiritual ad- vancement. 0 Comments Upon Celibacy. Celibacy is so enjoined on the inmates of the asrama. Married cou- ples may not be admitted unless they agree to surrender their mutual re- tion and adopt that of brother and If Mr. Gandhi had his way he would recommend this course to mankind. The resulting extinction of the species has no terrors for kim. He merely asks, why should we not all go to a better planet and live on a higher plane? The question would not appear so fantasgic after all to one who believed in the rebirt souls according to the law of Karma and remembered that no person would be a celibate except of his or her own free choice and when the sex passion had been transcended. Machinery being one of the most inseparable adjuncts of modern civ- {lization, must” be abandoned. Tt is of the kingdom of Satan. Mills and factories, where the laborer is done out of his humanity, have no place in his scheme. The wealth they create, it needs no saying, is an abomination. Posts and telegraphs and railways are likewise condemned, and with them goes the printing press. He says that every time he himself uses one of these instruments of civiliza- tion he does so with a pang! It would be nearly as hard for him to carry on his work without resort to them as it would be to escape from the atmosphere of the earth: but perhaps the use of evil might be de- fensible in its own destruction. For Walking Only. ~ Rapid and casy means of com- munication have but multiplied crime and -disease; could not man infer from the fact of God having given to go farther than they could carr him? What are ordinarily called the benefits of raflways and similar things are in reality the opposite, being added enjoyments of means of gratifying the senses. Medicine does not escape his judg- ment; he calls it black maglc and actually says it is better to die than be saved by a drug prescribed by the doctor. The fear of immorality and upheaithy modes of life has been materially weakenéd, if not totally removed, by the hope of being saved from the evil consequences by the help of the doctor. A return to the cure of Nature and, her simples would redeem mankin These and_similar doctrines, which appear harsh to the ordinary pe form the substance of Mr. Gandhi ethic.

Renounces Worldly Goods. His renunciation of worldly goods has been already mentioned. He does not seek the medical man in sick- ness. He eats hard fare. He wears khaddar woven by his own hands, and {n that dress and barefooted ap- | pears before the Viceroy of India. He knows no fear and shrinks from not} ing which he advises others to do. In fact, his love of suffering and hards ship as a means of spiritual progress is almost morbid. His compassion and tenderness are infinite, like the ocean, to use an eastern simile. The present writer 8tood by as he wiped the sores of a leper with the ends of his own gar- ment. In fact, it is his complete mas- tery of the passions, his realization of the ideal of a sannyasin in all the rlgor of its eastern conception, which accounts for the great hold he has over the masses of India and has crowned him with the title of mahatma, or_the great soul. Now to a few other docttines of a subordinate grade. Curiously enough, he is a believer in the system of caste, though the pride of caste and its ex- clusiveness will receive no quarter from him. Apparently he {s convinced of its beneficence, if maintained in its original purity, and holds it to be of the essence of Hinduism. In this be- lief, however, he is not Mkely to be followed by a great section of his countrymen, who are anxious to re- store their religion to its ancient But he is at one with them and in fact with the awakened gon- science of India in desiring to exor- cise the demon of untouchability. Millions of people are held by caste Hindus to bowbeneath their physical nd live in conditions which cely fit for human beings. These he would uplift, asserting that Hinduism gives no kind of justifica- tion for the abuse. But his work for the depressed classes, called, would take the form which has quite recently been given to soclal work of that kind In the west. He would have the worker cast aside his own status and live the life of the class to be helped, do their work and earn their wage, exactly as they do. So only can real understanding and sympathy come, 80 only can that con-, fidence be engendered which is the| essential prerequisite of all work of amelioration | Soclal Reforms Vital. His non-co-operatio followers seem in places to have mixed up his| | humanitarian work with politics, and 50 suffercd a che In the mahatma's eves no political rights will be of the slightest use to a community which is the prey of great social failings, and work for Swar aj can never reach success without simultaneous ork for great social reforms. But violent political excitement is not a favorable condition for such activity. The indiscriminate antagonism of government” and its officials is only to be expected to the activities of hosts of young picketers, who are pledged at the same tim em- barrass and cver destroy the ordinary administration. | The educational ideals of the ma- hatna have not vet received a clear as they are menses and de- | rangements, thix expression. To compulsion, even of rudimentary education, he must be averse. The higher sciences and art the specialized forms of historical re search or economic inquiry, with their glorification of machinery and wealth in its varied forms, will find no room in his simple scheme. Of the necessity of Introducing one lan- guage for common use in India he has been for long a persistent advo- cate. He has chosen Hindl for the place of this lingua franca. With characterisitc earnestness he has col- lected funds for the purpose of ' spreading & knowledge of this lan- ge, and has sent out enthuslastic teachers to all parts of India. T non-co-operation turmoll may have for the time overshadowed this ac- tivity. Perhaps, too, educational workers in India have not yet accepted the mahatma's con- clusions in this regard, and for this reason his efforts on behalf of Hindl have not been co-ordinated with the | educational work of the country gen- erally.

These principles and courses of ac- tion have more or less permanent validity because the war against modern civilization must be expected to be of indefinite duration.
