Hinduism and the Cow.
From Oar Dumb Animals.

Probably no man in the world today IS
so enshrined in the hearts OF his followers as
i Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian leader whose
Imprisonment by the British government mas
won him attention and sympathy everywhere.
4 few months before his incarceration an
art;cle bv Gandhi appeared in Young India
on the subject of Hinduism. In this he says
The central fact of Hinduism, however, is
COW protection. Cow protection IS TO me
one of the most wonderful phenomena IN
human evolution. 1t takes the human beng
beyond his species. The COW to me means
the entire sub-human world Man through
the cow is enjoined to realize his identity
with all that lives Why the COW was select
ed for apotheosis is obvious to me. The COW
was in India the best companion. She was
the giver of plenty. Not only did she give
milk, but she also made agriculture possible
The COW is poem OF pity. One reads pity
in the gentle animal. She is the mother OF
millions of Indian mankind Protection Of
the COW means protection OF the Whole
dumb creation of God. The appeal OF the
lower, order OF creation is all the more torci-
BE because it is speechess Cow protection
is the gift of Hinduism to the world Ana
Hinduism will live as long as there are
Hindus to protect the COW.
The way to protect is to die for her. 1t is
denial of Hinduism to kill human beng
10 protect cow Hindus are enJoned to
protect the cow by self-purifcation, BY self
sacrifice. The present-day COW protection has
degenerated into a perpetual feud with the
Mussumans, whereas COW protection means
conquering the Mussulman by our love.
! have made the "Khi1afat' cause my own,
because I see that through its preservation
full protection can be secured tor the cow.
| do not ask my Mussulman friends to save
the COW in consideration of my service. My
PRAYER ascends daily to God Almighty that
my service of cause hold to be just may
appear so pleasing to Him that he may
change the hearts of the Mussumans and
fill them with pity for their Hindu neigh
bors and make them save the animal the lat
ter hold dear as life itself.

Time for a Showdown.

Representative Upshaw, of Georgia, 1t
appears is going to be given an oppor-
tunity to prove his charge that members OF
congress and high government officials have
been procuring and consuming illicit liquor,
in violation OF the Volstead act and 18th
amendment. No one should object to an in
cuirv into this matter by responsible COM
,nittee of the house Mr.. Upshaw has made
lis charge boldly, and says he is prepared
TO substantiate it. Such an inquiry, If under
taken. ought to be made in good faith. II
Mr.. Upshaw has the goods let him produce
4hem--let us have the names OF congressman
and high government officials who are pur-
chasing and consuming bootleg whisky. 1t
has been common report for many months
that Washington is very wet. and that while
many members of congress vote dry private
ly they are wet
Only contempt can be felt for the mem
her Of congress or government official who
is officially dry and privately wet, but thai
s not the worst aspect of the matter. There
can be no defense of the representative OF
official charged with making and admins
tering the laws of the country who will de-
1iberately violate those laws. Certainly 1t Is
,nbecoming in officials, if nothing worse, te
be Iawbreaker and lend his encouragement
to the overriding of the statutes. How /:
respect for the law and government to be
maintained if the officials are lawbreakers!
Therefore, let us see what Mr.. Upshaw has
IN his hands If he is blufing, as Mr.. Keller
was shown to be blufing in the Daugherty
impeachment charges, let US know it. 1t Is
to be hoped that Mr.. Upshaw will be fear
less and the committee thorough.

Two Sides to the Question.

The compelling interest in the present
economic condition of the world is increas-
ing day by day. From various sources in
the United States, and from Washington
especially, comes the evidence of swiftly
developing interest Also the reports from
foreign capitals. London, Paris and Berlin
show that the leading topic now is the nee
essary readjustment of European affairs
There are two sides to the important ques
ton One is the American of what could be
done and what ought to be done by itself as
a friendly agent The other is bound up in
Q psychological study of the European mind
Two are required to make a bargain, and the
rule extends to all transactions. 1t is obvious
that America can do nothing if alone in the
desire to aid. The potential recipients of as
sistance must be ready to welcome what help
may be forthcoming. In a word, Europe
must prepare for the blessing, must become
worthy by removing any obstacles that may
be in the way of achievement
1t is seen that President Harding, who
looks kindly upon the proposed aid from the
United States, holds himself in behalf of the
American people, as occupying the ranking
position of advantage. He will insist, when
the time arrives for conference to consid-
or the problem, that the Europeans come to
America. In the business world that princi-
pie is rarely violated The individual who
requires aid from another, even in a transac-
ton mutually beneficial must approach the
other and thus allow the establishment of
courtesy of rank. Notwithstanding that feat
ire of President Hardings attitude much
more than this attaches to it. He feels that
the United States would be in position to
do more for Europe if permitted to proffer
its services on its own soil, in an environ
ment that it could control. This admission
from the white house indicates a willingness
to lend Europe the assistance so badly need
ed Now, more than ever, comes the con-
viction that something definite will soon be
evolved
Europeans must reach some kind of an
agreement before they consistently can ex-
pect aid from the United States. The United
States government does not relish the task of
settling Europe's quarrels. 1t will be quite
enough if the United States :,ttemnts the
role 50 generally assigned to it
mus ie@N' their own understanding as be-
"eei themselves before America can know
" to proceed in being helpful. Meanwhile,
America can only watch and wait, indicating
AZ the same time her interest in Europe's
welfare and her willingness to be of service.

RUDE RURAL RH'Y MES.
COAL STRIKES.

We do not know how strikes may go, who
loses or who wins, but when the winter
breezes blow we shiver in our skins. The
laborer Should have his hire for that I'd
always vote, but can't the miner get his share
and not make us the goat. We should not
mind if their disputes were settled once for
all, but every year renews the strife in sum
mer, spring or fall Within our thick and
bony domes this thought should penetrate
when capital and labor fight the public pays
the freight. Within our minds this fact must
sink | hope it does not stun them, the state
must either run the mines or boss the folks
that run them. Who cuts off coal, and thus
purloins the comfort from my shack, he
might as well come steal the shirt from off
my gooseheshed back Though you and |
could freeze a lot in justice for our sins, the
homes with little kids must have good coal
within their bins The opal is alive with light,
the ruby flashes fire, but good black adla-
monds are the gems that people most admire:
We feel the evils of the times and feign would
vote to end 'em, yet know not how to do
the Job without a referendum. Whichever
party IS in power, that party gets the blame,
but when we turn the rascals out all things
remain the same When capital and labor
fight whichever wins or slun1ps, the patient
public pays the bills and also gets the bumps,
Yea, some OF us begin to think, although
they fight like thunder they likely grin be-

GEORGIA IS LACKING IN MEAT.

From the Nashville Herald
Do YOU know Georgia lacks 3OO,00O,OO0
pounds of producing all the meat she needs?
These are astonishing figures. At five cents
pound even that is $15,000,000 annually
that go out of Georgia for meat alone. The
figure is more than that, however, because
this 300,000,000 pounds represent dressed
meats and dressed meats sell for average
of at least 10 cents a pound which would
be $3O,O00,0O0, on a per capita of $40 for ev-
cry man, woman and child in the state.
That's an average of $50 to every home in
the state. Berrien county's part of that huge
sum is $150000

Nothing for Dawson.

A number of Georgia towns and cities
have movements on foot either for the cree
ton of new public buildings or the enlarge
ment of present ones. On this subject the
Columbus Enquirer-Sun says:
AS the Enquirer Sun pointed out sew
eral days ago, action is going to be nee
essary if Columbus is to get new fed
eral building any time in the near future.
At that time we called attention to the
fact that Savannah was actively at work
to secure increased postoffice facilities.
Since then recommendations have been
made to congress for appropriations for
new, or enlarged, government buildings
i'll a number of cities-and Columbus is
not on the list.
Atlanta is also at work. and the newspa-
pers state that the expenditure of large
sum on the federal building there is already
assured. So far as we are informed Dawson
is still out in the cold, in this respect. A short
while before he died the late Congressman
Griggs introduced resolution authorizing
the erection of postoffice building at Daw-
son, and his successor, the late Congressman
Roddenbery, secured its passage before he
also was summoned by death That was many
years ago, and Dawson is still without this
much needed structure About the only thing
that has been accomplished is the expendi-
ture of a considerable per cent of the appro-
priation in the way of expenses of one kind
or another and now, as is known, a build
ing in any way adequate to the needs cannot
be erected for the amount that is left
Since public building at Dawson was au-
thorized attractive and commodious federal
structures have been erected in a number Of
Georgia towns, some of which are not as large
either in population or volume of business
as Dawson. What the people here would
like to know is why public buildings have
been and are being erected in other towns
and nothing is done for Dawson. 1t is sit
uation they do not understand, and their pa
thence is likely to become threadbare after
awhile.
