with their beautiful sheepskin d!plOm-
as, those spell-binding statesmen with
their initiative and referendum argu-
rasnts may as well go back and sit
down for awhile. What the corn-belt
farmers and the country need just now
are men who will stand on hay wag-
on and handle the hay from the bust
ness end of hay loader.-Ex.

Basanta Koomar Roy, brilliant
East Indian who has been studying
journalism and social science at the
University of Wisconsin for the last
two years, delivered a lecture before
members of the summer school last
week which gave those who heard him
some new ideas concerning the foreis n
viewpoint of America.
"I7he United States has as distinct
a caste system as India" he said,
'only you Americans cannot see it. 1t
takes a foreigner, unused to your
ways, to judge your manners and Gus
toms in an unbiased light. The whole
so-called "civilzed' world pities India
because of her rigid caste system,
which prohibits carpenter. or farmer,
or laborer, or blacksmith, or any one
else, from ever entering any other line
of work than that to which he is born.
The son of blacksmith must also be
a blacksmith, and if he should attempt
to enter any other line of work, to
marry woman not of his caste, or
even to eat with one outside of his
caste, he becomes an outcast to whom
even his own father can not give as
sistance.
"This situation is truly deplorable,
but is it much worse than the state Of
affairs that exists in the United States?
Here you have money and color
caste. The man with fifty million de-
spises the man with one million; the
man with one million looks down on
the man with thousand; and the man
with a Thousand spurns the man who
hasn't anything How many Ameri-
cans would break bread with negro,
or live il the same house with China
man? Are not your bitter race wars
and your policy of refusing admission
of the Chinese to this country, but eA-
pressions of a tlourishing caste sys-
ten?
"The brotherhood of man is beau
tiful ideal, but it can never become a
reality until all caste systems, and
they flourish in every country | have
ever visited. are done away with. Only
when all good men can mingle tc-
gether without considering each
others aristocracy of birth, wealth, or
race, will there be no castles"
