EAST AND WEST CAN MEET

How far has Kpling succeeded in entering into the real life of the people and arriving at correct appreciation of of the problems of our Indian empire? Let begin with those famous lines which represent Kiplings views the nature ana character of eastern and western civilizations and which have become almost gospel of faith with the vast majority of those who nave palo any thought to the subject:
 East is East, and West is West,
 And ne'er the twain shall meet
 The note struck by these lines suggests that some nsuperable barriers divide the East from the West, and that, however intimate connection be- tween the two civilizations might be formed an eternal distinction must exist between them In other words, it is asserted that the West can have real permanent influence upon the East however closely the civilization of the one may be assimiated by the other The grounds on which this belief is held are partly historical and partly based experience and observation The former l need not discuss; the latter resolve themselves into two arguments.
 First, told that the number of those orl- entas who have acquired westein culture is very small. And secondly, the class which has adopted the civilization of the West is not western at heart that is that the culture it has acquired IS merely on the surface. The conclusion which therefore invited to draw is that the influence or the West upon the East never be real or perma- nent.
 Both these propositions may be briefly contro- verted. To say that the educated class never be large enough to control the destiny Of the country proceeds upon assumption which neither history nor experience warrants IL must not oe loI6o'tei besides that the really educated classes are always in minority everywhere Europe not excepted Then with regard the assertion that the Orien- tars culture is merely skin deep, the underlying idea to be that every point of distinction between the two people should vanish when the civilization of the brings it's influence to bear upon that of the other
 The popular mind would appear to be incapable of striking a middle path. Either western influence must be nil it must efface every vestige Of dis tnction. Either India must be made an exact du- plicate of England Inda's progress toward west ern ideals be pronounced rank delusion

primaries is that there contests within the party for nominations. In the primaries in Califor- mia tomorrow the progressves will almost certainly make bad showing but one familiar with the political situation in that state have any doubt that Governor Johnson and the progressive ticket will lead at the general election.
 The situation in this state is peculiar In the three-cornered gubernatoria fight. perhaps a third of the citizens will their votes, not for some candidate whom they like, but against some rot have any choice between the other two cand- dates but they will cast their votes where they think they will do the most good-for the apparently stronger of the other two candidates.
 Such voters will not unnaturally be influenced by the primary figures If the progressives make a stronger demonstration at the primaries than the republicans do-and they easily do soft will be worth many thousands of to them at the general election.
 We hope that every progressive and woman will be at the polls September 8. They can do for the progressive then than they do at the general election Each register only vote, but at the primaries a large aggre- gate of progressive will produce many other progressive votes at the general election

But now the dread we always know Has sickened all the land with fear. The young. the strong. the old must go. Ruin and Death draw near. Our lands are stripped of all our men; The war kings call the conscripts out What for? God knows; not we. But. then, Who are we, to doubt? f, Blood will stain all rivers brown, The red flame leap across the land, The red flame leap across the land, Pillage will waste thin crops down All at the kings command.

Headache
By WALT MASON

I wrap a rag around my brow, and say T have the headache now when renowned, acknowledged bore, comes knocking blithely at the door The bore is told of my distress, and goes away but thinks, I guess. that all my fierce con- venient ache, would strike the doctors as fake My frau announces that the place needs cleaning up its disgrace. Co out,r she begs, and take away those old tin and bricks and hay and make the whole blamed place appear as though white folks were living. here. Whereat heave a hefty sigh, and wipe some briny from my eye, and say "Ah naught would please more! I dearly love just such chore. But l am feeling half way dead-I have a headache in my head The head ache has it's daily it is the finest old excuse Without it life would be blue. We couldn t dodge things as we do But now, when things pleasant come with anguish pretend we're dumb. and to our chambers we repair, and nurse our gilt edge headaches there

 This year the United States will produce 900- 900 900 bushels of wheat worth $750000,000 This sounds like good deal of money until reflect that the American automobile bill for this year will be about $500 ,000 Many farmer who has raised more wheat this year than before is going to be able thereby to pay for his last year automobile and order
 Most of our wheat is planted in the fall Then the farmer spends the winter praying for rain. cold warmth thaws and freezes in the proper pro- portion In the spring the wheat comes up without help and all the farmer has to do is to sit the fence and watch for rain clouds.

THE DIVINE ADVERTISER.
(By Nina Wilcox Putman.)


IT was fine morning and many
people were out upon their
- business when He came down
the street. The trolley cars were
aarting to and fro, and curbs
were lined with push-carts, the
owners of which shouted their
wares, the sidewalks were black
with people, and clatenly wom-
en- leaned from the windows,
watching.
And as He walked He caused
quite sensation and people
turned to stare, for He wore a
rough brown cloak and robe; His
naked feet were shod only in
rude sandals, and His head was
uncovered. And as He passed,
those who noticed him made
comments until He was covered
with characteristics which He
never possessed.
Said a SNUG burger with loud
clothes: 'He looks to me like a
mad man, but l suppose he is
advertising something"
And two young girls clutched
each other ecstatically and
giggled: my! Amt he awful
with them bare legs! He must be
advertising something"
4 And a prostitute who was
passing said, "I can get nothing
from him although he looks kind
Of familiar. He must be adver-
Using something"
And a fashionable youth, who
leant on a slender cane, smiled
derisively and said: "a man
man must have sunk pretty low
to come to that. He must be adj
vertising something"
And a clergyman who wore a
trim coat and a clean stiff collar
said: Another instance of the
City's poverty. If | were not OBJ
liged to hurry on to that dinner
at the deacon's, | would stop and |
try to convert him. He must be
advertising something"
And so the business man and
the young girls and the prosti-
tute and the clergyman and the
many others upon the street
looked at Him. They peered at
Him before and behind and from
either side, as they passed Him.
but they could not see what He
was advertising, they knew He
was advertising something. At
the crossing a policeman-that
product of the crime and greed
of the world-came up to Him
and said: "Hey there! | don't
know you-what are you adver-
tising?"
And He said: 81 am adver-
Using the Brotherhood of Man.
Simplicity, Truth and Freedom
from Possessions; and | am adj
vertising Life as glorious thing
and the value of the Jewels of |
the Imagination"
And the policeman said. I
"Humphl | don't understand |
what you say. If you are adj |
vertising something why don't
you carry a sign, or have it in
white letters on your coat, or
on flag from the staff you car
ry! None of these people know
what you are advertising" |
So He said:
1T is true that they do not |
yet know what / am advertis-
ing. But they have so much curl |
esity; they already realize that |
| am advertising something, and
they will never be happy until |
they find out what it isl
