DOROTHY DIX'S TALK

MT, man, Just suppose
You were u nice. good hooking u
fellow. and You had always looked for
ward to some day falling In love with a
charming girl and marrying her, and
establishing an ideal home In which you
would live happy ever afterward.
And suppose some day you met up
with the lady of your dreams, and you
fen desperately in love with her, and
wanted her more than you ever wanted
anything else In your life, and YOU knew
that L you married her. YOU would
make her Just the sort OF husband she
n~eeded-the kind that would know how
70 cherish her, and help her along in
the world,
But, YOU had to miss getting the girl
whom nature intended for your mate,
because the conventions didn't allow
you TO show her that you loved her, OF
TO ask her TO be your wife, and all that
you could do was Just TO sit around and
look willing, and finally to take am
sort OF old wife that wished herself
on YOU.
Yet. that is the matrimonial handicar
that every woman has to carry.
Mr.. Man, Just suppose
You were an Industrious, competent

had cursed you with a snub nose. and

in India as the leader of the modern
movement and had sought to bring his
countrymen into greater sympathy with
the western world, at the same tine
explaining eastern civilization to the
west.
His best known book here is ''Gitan-
jail" which reminded many Americans
of Walt Whitman. as his appearance
, with his long white beard had re-
called the American poet. In his prayer
Of life he wrote: "Give me- the strength
never to disown the poor or bend my
knee before insolent might"
In his reported resignation of knight
hood he says that the disproportionate
severity Of punishments inflicted upon
Indians by the British in Punjab is
without parallel in the history of civ
iliged government, barring some con-
s~picuous exceptions. He adds:
considering that such treatment has
been melted out to a population disarmed
and resourceless Ivy a pNwer which has
the most terribly efficient organization
for destruction Of human lives, we must
strongly assert that 1t can claim no
moral oxpediency, far less moral justi-
fication.
