Greenville, Mich. - Twenty-four

weeks ago Vanderlip came home for
the first time In q quarter of q cen.

Vanderlip explains his long absence
by saying that he was % overwhelmed

day. but instead he boarded q train

and from there he went into the Klon-
dixie region.
Eight years ago found him with q

home. but on the way he fell Ill with
fever and was sick for many months.
When he recovered. his gold was gone
and he returned to the Klondike to
accumulate another fortune. He sue

No word had passed during all the
years between the husband and the
wife. who had remained faithful. and
they are now spending their second

Vishefski, and he started to enter.
But there he stuck" explained
Cunningham to reporter later.
When he took a deep breath the

men grabbed him by the coat tails and
began pulling him out. didn't want
to lose q customer, SO l did my best
to haul him in. We couldn't bulge
him either way.
Finally Mr.. Vishefski said that II
would help push him out on the side

there. So began to push. The 9TH

Chicago.-When Charlie Nelson hit

Maybe it was the certainty OF the

his many adventures in strange lands.
But q few weeks ago Charlie came
back to Chicago and found somebody
In his grave. He was much aroused
over the intrusion of the stranger In
his final resting place. He insisted 1t
was unethical.
Charlie Nelson's mother. Mrs. 10

but he insists he lust can't feel COM

To make things worse. suit was nled
against Mrs. Oberg by an undertaken
In Chippewa Falls for the collection
of a bill for the burial of the stranger
In Charles grave. Charlie and his
mother took their troubles to the Le.
gal Aid society.
Mrs. Oberg says the body was sent
to her from Wisconsin. She attributes
the mistake to an erroneous descrip,

undertaken and anxiety on the part
of the coroner and officials to be rid
of the task of caring for an unidenti-
fled body.
In support of her contention Mrs.
Oberg showed the telegram which her
son, Nels Nelson. received. stating his
brother. William Nelson. had been
killed in Chippewa Falls. The mother
says that she telegraphed that her
sons name was Charles Nelson. and
also sent a detailed description Of his
appearance to the coroner and sheriff
of Chippewa county.

However, as everything was ready,

body to be buried. 80 as not to spoil
the funeral.
Now they are suing me to pay for
burying some unknown person. The
telegram from the coroner shows that
he misrepresented the appearance Of
the dead man."
In the meantime the efforts of the
Legal Aid society are directed towards
defending Mrs. Oberg in the matter
and disturbing the unwelcome body
in Charlie Nelson's grave.

HAS ENGLAND FAILED IN INDIA?

left unassessed or uncollected alto
gether in times OF famine. from which,
by failure of the monsoon, the wind
bringing rain, certain Indian provinces
often suffer. When the British came
the tax-gatherer was king, all south
ern India was in his merciless grip,
and in northern India the farm la
borer, though he made fortress of
his village and followed the pillow
sword in hand, was the constant vic
tim of spoliation. The first attempts
at land revenue adjustment which the
British made were disastrous failures
Gradually. however, schemes of taxa
ton have been evolved and problems
Of land ownership have been settled
that are placing rural India, as far as
these questions are concerned, in the
same condition as the countries OF
Europe where such questions have
been more equitably and longer set
tied.
Close akin to the problem Of the
taxation OF land is the question OF
rural credits. The British found the
Indian peasant in the hands Of the
usurious money-lender. The grip OF
this creature. who has all countries
for his own, has not been entirely
shaken Off 1t has been loosened
however. The establishment Of CO
operative credit societies has done
much for the rural laborer. The OBJ
lection that Indians lack the necessary
spirit of cooperation has been shown
to be without foundation. In sever
years 3.456 societies have been estab
lished, with a membership of 226,95s
persons and with a working capital o.
$3,43O, 900, Of which the state contrib
uted only $230.O0O. the rest being fur
nished by the people themselves.
The Famine Evil MInimized.
India has always been subject, II
part. to famines, which Is the eastern
word for partial or total crop failure
These famines are caused by what al
old writer quantity called the intem
perateness of the weather" British
rule has not been able to cure thi!
"intemperateness" it ha:
been frequently blamed for its exist
ence-but it has devised plan which
mitigates to a considerable extent thu
evils arising from it. Under this plal
not only are taxes RENTED, but finan
cial aid is extended in the famine dis
tricts Nothing rebounds more t
the credit of the government of India,

the masterful poet Journalist, who
came out of India. trailing jingoism.
Let's stick to the Indian text.
Beginning as a purely commercial
enterprise, with no other object than
to make money for British traders,
often more aggressive than scrupu-
lous, the government Of India by the
British has as its chief concern the
making Of men. That's big job any
where. but 1t is particularly large
when the territory is a continent, as
is India. and not single country, and
the inhabitants are one-fifth of the en-
tire human race.
The problem is not lessened by the
Ignorance, poverty and superstition Of
the alien and diverse peoples who
constitute the inhabitants. The good
fruits of British rule are many, but
they cannot be seen from the car
window nor their importance gagged
by the tourist fitting from hotel to
curio shop.
i Not Governed by Bayonets.
British rule in India is not military
rule. Bayonets may establish, but
they cannot maintain government
British rule in India Is government by
the civil power. Less than $4,000
white soldiers are stationed in this
empire of more than 300,000,000 PEG
pie. The United States have larger
standing army for less than one-third
that number of inhabitants-three
times the soldiery for the American
republic as compared with the Indian
empire. True. military rule was un

der-in-chief, when the latter asked Of
England-and was given-a free
hand" in administration. The free
hand" when inquired into. Is usually
found to mean a complete abandon
ment of all checks and safeguards
which long experience has devised.
When these are set aside at the be-
hest or in behalf Of the exceptional
man, trouble follows. And so 1t was
in India. 1t Is sham Imperialism, not
q real one, that puts the army and
navy ahead Of justice and liberty, Of
civil rule.
200, 100000 Dependent on Agriculture.
India is not governed by bayonets.
neither is 1t an empire Of camps and
cities. The city Is Of secondary i'm
portance in this land. We hear more
of Calcutta and Bombay and Madras
and the new-old capital Of Delhi, but
the real Indian is q villager. In all
India there are only q cities with a
population exceeding 100000. and only
i've whose Inhabitants exceed a quar-
ter of a million. There are more than
zoe, 100000 people in India directly de-
pendent-not merely indirectly-upon
agriculture. The Indian farmer-"the
ryot at the plow"-is the dominant
figure in any picture Of Indian life
which has true perspective. The land
problem is at the very heart Of things.
The final test Of British rule is how It
has helped the dweller on the land.
Taxation Equitably Adjusted.
Judged by this test, the measure OF
success Is not small. The land tax
has been changed into an approxima-
ton of fairness and reasonable justice.
