far greater than would appear at first

individual does not affect society ia
any great extent except those immed-

recorded the passing of MAN. A

THE NEWSPAPERS COURAGE

Once in while somebody gets the
idea that the reason the local paper
does not report every scandal that
comes to public knowledge is because
the publisher is afraid. That's not
the reason. The reputable newspaper,
especially in small town where
everyone is a neighbor TO everyone
else, takes no delight in giving pub
licity to those things that have
brought disgrace to some family or
heartache TO some wife or mother.
II is much more pleasant to record the
good things that happen, to tell about
the incidents that tend TO make life
more endurable. and that uplift rather
than tear down, that bring JOY instead
Of sorrow, pride instead Of heartaehe.
So II you don't always find in The Re-
publican the delectable bit Of gossip
that would doubtless make good
reading" and if you are inclined to
blame the editor because he doesn't

INDIAN TROOPS IN ACTION

Although mainly Mohammedan, the Indian ma
tive army embraces men of the most varying
religions, sects and races. Its normal strength
in round figures is 10000 men, but this does
not include (about) $4,000 imperial service troops,
5000 reservists and $4,000 volunteers.
The officers, of course, are British, but every
regiment has its native officers, known respec-
lively as r~isaldars, 'subahdars and jemidars. A
risaldar is the native commander of a troop of
cavalry, while the subahdar and jemidar rank
respectively as captain and lieutenant-among
themselves, that is, for in no circumstance does
a native captain exercise any command over a
British lieutenant. The Indian soldiers whose
names are most familiar to the British public
are the Sikh, the Rajput, the Gurkha and the
Pathan.
1t was the Sikh, of course, who put up such a
tremendous fight against England years ago. but
who, once conquered, has ever since proved the
loyalest of the loyal. Originally of Hindu origin,
the Sikhs as a religious sect were founded by
Nanak Shah in the fifteenth century, and reached
the zenith Of their military and political power
under the famous Ranjit Singh Q7S01S39). The
Sikh is not born a Sikh, but is admitted or mi
tiated as one when he reaches early manhood,
The Kansas City sun. (Kansas City, Mo.) 1908-1924, 1915-01-16

from which date he never cuts his hair. and
always wears an iron bangle on his wrist. By
their religion, the Sikhs are forbidden to use
tobacco in any shape or form. Equally at home
in the saddle or on foot, the Sikh is a magnificent
fighting man, and an awe-inspiring figure with
his big beard, and great mustache curled up be-
hind his ears.
"Rajput" means literally, "son of a king" and
the Rajputs are an intensely proud, reserved and
silent race. They are the worlds finest horse
men, bar none, though they do not disdain to
serve in infantry regiments. They are very tall,
outstanding men of magnificent presence" and
naughty demeanor, for they never forget or allow
the spectator to forget that they are of royal
blood. Inside his turban the Rajput carries a
steel circlet with sharp edges, and this he can
hul or throw with such deadly accuracy and
force as to decapitate an enemy at many yards
distance.
Kipling has made us familiar with the Gurkha.
who is "blood-brother" to the Highlanders, and
the most cheerfully bloodthirsty little devil" 60
ing. The Mongol descent shows itself in his
broad, fiat features and squat frame, and the con-
trast between him and the lordly Sikh or Rajput
is comical in the extreme.

directors of the Negro Baptist General
State convention was held at Waco,
Tex. The chief work of the board was
the formulation of plans for the mis-
sionary and educational work of the
Negroes during the coming year. The
work of the convention is done
through eight boards, each of which is
under the supervision of a financial
secretary.
Two hundred and sixteen thousand
dollars has been raised during the past
year for the conventional work.
The convention is supporting three

The present war will have a serious
effect on more than ten million white
and Negro farmers who grow cotton
In the South, according to a statement
made by DR.. Booker T. Washington.
the noted Negro educator, when seen
at the capital on his arrival from
Tuskegee, Ala. Doctor Washington
said the depressed price of cotton
would hamper the farmers in paying
their debts, purchasing foods and 9TH
er necessities and the raising of the
next crop. He was much pleased, he
said, with the remarks of President
Wilson in outlining his attitude toward
the Negro when he told the University
Commission on Southern Race Ques-
tons that our object is to know the
needs Of the Negro and sympathetic
ally help him in every way that is pos
sible for his good and our good"
Every thoughtful man North and
South he went on, will agree with
the president. l think his statement
represents a growing liberal sentiment
on the part of an increasingly large
group of Southern white people"
In regard to his suggestion made re-
Gently that each Negro family raise
n or more additional pigs this year,
to help bring about more prosperity in
the South, Doctor Washington said:
Il have been surprised to note how
we'll this suggestion has been received
and how many are following it. One
| rh1roh noSfa- q, TTpfDnAor,O A1a
went so far as to organize a pig club
among the members of his congrega-
ton.
Now l want to make one other sug-
gestion that in my opinion is of still
greater and more practical Importance.
For months the great cry all through
the South has been to stop the grow
ing of cotton or to reduce the acreage.
Chambers of commerce, business
leagues, state legislatures and other
bodies have adopted resolutions with
out end urging that we in the South
stop growing so much cotton. To stop
growing cotton is very easy; in fact
1t is always easy to stop work. But
merely to stop growing cotton is a
mere negative proposition and will not,
l fear, leave the South much better off
than at present. If we destroy or Grip
pie a great industry we should be very
sure to have one or a number equally
good to put in it's place"
