COOLIDGE MAY LOSE
 VOTE- TWANC

BOSTON, Jan 12.-New England friends and admirers of the vice pres ident of these United States are di- vided in regret and pleasure over the reported rapidly disappearing Yankee twang to Gals" voice They are sen- timentally sorry over the loss of the picturesque Yankee intonation. but glad to hear that a certain surgical operation on the vice presidents nose is greatly improving his health. A small section of bone has already been removed and another is to fol- low. It is feared that the vice presi- dents voice may be entirely changed.
 Joe" O'Neil, Democratic nominee for the utenant-governorship few years ago. is quoted as having remark ed that Gals" Yankee twang was good for 10000 votes whenever he ran for election in Massachusetts.

HINDU LEADER IS EDUCATED AND
 GENTLE
GANHDl HAS HELPED BRITISH IN TIME OF STRESS AND HOPED FOR lNDlANa FREEDOM WHEN WORLD WAR ENDED

LONDON. Jan 12.-"Gandhi won his position by pursuing a policy of doing no wrong, committing no vio- lence. but simply enduring all the Dunishments the other side could in flict on him until they became weary and ashamed of punishing."
 That is how Prof. Gilbert Murray describes Mohanda karamchard GanGhi, the Indian agitator, whose name is so frequently mentioned in respect to the native uprisings in India on the occasion of the present visit of the Prince of Wales to Indie.
 Gandhi studied law in Great Brit ain about the year 1889 but instead of going back to his native land, like many of his contemporaries who had the advantage of European educa- tion, a confirmed British loyalist, he whole embraced the Hindu cause and was a constant and vir ulent agitator for their rights.
 Gandhi is Jain, a very high caste of Hindu. and he came from rich parents. He took the usual Jain VOW. that of an abstinence from al cohol and cows flesh, because to the Jain's COW is sacred animal; and an abstinence from pork and bacon because the pig is an unclean animal.
 He took his law degree and for a time practiced law in Bombay, but he cared more for religion than law. He became an ascetic and gradually gave away his money to good causes, keep ing for himself anly meagre allow ance. Finally he forsook the law yer's profession, because he could not conscientiously follow a profession which believed in might to force it's rights
 In 1914 he was a very patriotic sup porter of Britain's war against Ger many, and from it's results he expect ed better Indian for Indians, ire spective of caste and religion. and the exclusion from their native do- mains of the material interests, the industrial slavery and the money and power worship of the west.
 The result was a shock to his ideals, and ever since he has been en- gagged in constant passive resistance to the government and has always striven to ennoble and raise the status of the Indian, not so much in the eyes of the European. but in the eyes and graces of the higher caste of na- tive in India-a much more difficult problem.
 1 Unlike other revolutionaries, how ! ever, he has always come willingly to the aid of the government in a crisis l In 1904 there was an outbreak of | plague in Johannesburg, and Gandhi opened up a private hospital long be- fore the government had time to 1 act.
 I In 1913 while he was being con- stantly imprisoned by the government in South Africa, the railway strike broke out, and transportation in the Transvaal was paralyzed. From the 1 ordinary agitator's point of view this would have been his supreme moment to strike his blow at the organized society of South Africa, but he relent ed and gave orders to his people tc resume work and aid the government to keep order.
 This is the complex character oi
