Britain Moves in India.

The inevitable has at length ensued
In India. Gandhi has been jailed
Striking with complete unexpectedness,
following a week of relative tranquility.
the British authorities arrested the
Mahatma at Jalalpur yesterday. Under
q centslry-old Indian sedition law, "the
holy one" will remain in captivity with
out trial at the pleasure Of the govern
ment--an indeterminate sentence Of i'm
prisonment.
Gandhi thus, exactly a month after
he inaugurated his dramatic campaign
Of civil disobedience by defying the salt
laws, has achieved what he doubtless
considers the crown of martyrdom
That It would be clamped down upon
him sooner or later he could never have
doubted. His counsel against violence
In the fight for independence was
doomed to fall on many deaf ears among
the Hindu masses whom Gandhi has 90
effectively propagandized. The ines
capable effect Of his gospel was cumu-
latively sullen spirit Of resentment and
burst forth into flaming revolt.
Reading sure signs of such a catas-
trophe in the recent riots at Calcutta,
Karachi, Chittagong and Peshawar,
Lord Irwin, the viceroy of India, has
decided to strike boldly at the indie
pendence movement by incarcerating
the man who personif1es it. Lord
Irwin unquestionably has a free hand,
as far rs the home government at Lon
don IL concerned. Gandhi now knows
that any hopes of leniency which he
may have cherished, because of the
Labor cabinets ''anti-imperialist"
character, are misplaced. The firm
policy which has additionally marked
British rule in India is to be MAIN
tanned.
Gandhi and his followers had little
right TO anticipate encouragement from
the present regime at London. More
than six years ago, and on the eve Of
his first premiership, Mr.. Ramsay Mac
donald warned the progressive elements
In India against exaggerated expecta-
tons.
mo party in Great Britain" he said
in q message addressed to the inde-
pendence group, "will be cowed by
threats Of force or by policies designed
to bring government to q standstill. II
any Indian sections are under the de-
fusion that this Is not so, events will
very sadly disappoint them"
Developments have conspired rapidly
TO cause the second Labor government
to vindicate this unambiguous admoni-
ton BY Macdonald. Time will show,
and probably show rapidly, whether the
program Of stern repression which
Gandhi's arrest betokens Is destined to
be effective or provocative. What it
Immediately and unmistakably indicates
Is Great Britains unterrified determi-
nation to nip the Mahatma1s independ-
ence crusade In the bud. The British
are not 50 foolish as to believe that
Gandhi's arrest means the collapse of
his campaign. But its fomenters can
no longer labor under any uncertainty
that IL has limits beyond which John
Bull viii not permit it to 60.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Violets and Snowhakes.
Way back yonder when the snow
Sprinkled from the starlit sky,
And the wind began to blow
Through the trees with doleful sigh
How we wished for days of Spring
And the violet's blossoming!
But the violets droop too soon;
Pleasures seem to rule the past.
We will face the sultry noon
When the flowers fade 80 fast,
And we'll wish, as we complain.
For the snowflake once again.

Mothers Day

In May 1914, a resolution was
passed by Congress and endorsed by
President Woodrow Wilson,, desig-
mating Mothers Day as a national
institution. The second Sunday in
this month is set aside for it's obser-
vance.
Sunday next, May II, is the day for
observance of this beautiful custom
of paying tribute to Mother, and the
white carnation is the symbol early
adopted, Its witness for purity;
its form and fragrance representing
beauty and love; its wide field of
growth and lasting qualities SYM
bolizing charity and falthfulness-all
a true mothers virtues.
The white carnation is the recog-
nized symbol of Mothers Day,
though useage has introduced the
wearing of the red carnation in
tribute to living mothers. Other
flowers are worn when carnations
are not available.

Taxes and Naval Limitation

Entirely aside from its significance
as move toward permanent world
peace, the naval limitation confer
enee in London, will have a salutary
effect on the tax situation in the five
major nations.
The navy in one of our most expen-
Sive institutions, and at present alb
serbs 81, 100000 of tax money
annually. The life of a navy is about
twenty years.
A battleship of $4,000 tons costs
approximately $40,OOO,OO0. A 10000
ton cruiser costs $17,OOO,0OO and a
5000 ton submarine, 100000.
In addition, the cost of manning and
operating these ships must be con-
sidered. Itcan be readily seen that
aggressive naval limitation will be of
great value to the struggling tax
payer.

Speed Leads To Crashes

Proceeding at a speed obviously
not reasonable and proper" scores
OF operators of motor vehicles daily
get themselves and others into I'M
necessary difficulties, according to
Motor Vehicle Commissioner E.
Austin Baughman, because they are
unable to stop in time to prevent
accidents.
Discussing this angle of automo-
bile operation Commissioner Baugh-
man said
ut is a self-evident fact that no
accident would have occurred in
these cases if the vehicles involved
had been able to make full stop be-
fore coming in contact with the OBJ
ject struck. In view of the fact that
the law definitely requires that every
motor vehicle operated on the public
highways shall, at all time, be under
full control of the operator, the ques-
ton of why such motor vehicles are
not stopped in time to prevent an ac-
cident becomes of paramount i'm
portance.
TT it clearly established, by acct
dent analysis and study of accident
reports, that the motor vehicles in
volved in such accidents were not
under the control of the operators to
the extent that when these drivers
desired to stop or saw the emergent
necessity for stopping they were I'M
able to do so in time to prevent an
accident.
"In the vast majority of accidents
it is easy to establish the fact that
the accident occurred because the We
hicles involved were apparently be-
ing operated at speed which was
unreasonable and improper, TAX
ing into consideration the traffic and
place of the occurrence.
Commissioner Baughman ventures
the opinion that a vast majority of
the accidents occurring are caused
primarily by the operation of motor
vehicles at unreasonable and i'm
proper rates of speed, to the extent
that operators could not control their
cars in time to avoid difficulties.

Political conditions in all the
counties, with few exceptions, are
chaotic. There are many, many
candidates for local office. And
in order to save their local ticket,
Democratic leaders in the counties
are forced to pay strict attention
to this end, leaving the state wide
candidates to do their own bidding,
says The Marylander.
Local control for the Democratic
party in the various counties is of
more Importance to the county
leaders than the governorship.
More than fifteen millions of dol
lars will be- expended by County
Commissioners in their respective
districts during the next four years,
and this of course will direct the
voters attention to the directors of
local offices. More than three
thousand office holders, or occu-
pants of political jobs, will be placed
in office as result of the local re-
turns, and this is of more importance
to the county leaders than electing
a Governor.

Sad But True

'Some one suggests that the only
way to drive is with the idea con-
stantly in mind that the other fellow
may be an idiot" says the Los An
geles Times. This is sad but true.
Recklessness seems to be part of the
motoring code with millions of
American drivers. And the newt
able result is that, every year, Is or
80 thousand persons are killed and
hundreds of thousands injured in
preventable automobile accidents.
TheN tragic part of it is that the
enormous annual waste of life and
property is almost entirely uuneces-
sary. The unpreventable accident
is rare as the dodo bird. Someone
is incompetent or reckless in the
case of practically every collision,
great or small, between motor cars.
The blame may be laid in two
places. First is the apparent indif-
ference of many motorists to the
fundamentals of safety. Second is
the lack of strict licensing laws in
most states to keep the incompetent
and reckless off the road, and an &C.
companying lack of enforcement o.
modernized, common sense traffic
codes.

Wet Money VS.. Dry Law

Mr.. Henry Curran, head Of the AS
sociation Against the Prohibition
Amendment has enlightened the
people as we'll as the Senate Judi
ciary Committee by his remarkable
testimony before that body.
1t seems that go per cent. of the
revenues received by the Associa-
ton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment during the first two months of
1880, were contributed by seven
men, three of whom are members of
the same family.
Mr.. Curran's own salary of $25, 600
annually is guaranteed by five
wealthy contributors.
Seventy five per cent. of the in
come of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment in recent
months was derived from So men,
Eighty-four per cent. of the
Association income is contributed by
citizens of New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Illinois.
1t appears, therefore, that a few
men, representing very small sec
ton of the population of our states,
are financing an effort to change the
Constitution.

Only flower, so pure and so sweet,
Dropped by passer by.
The newsboy Jimmy came down the
street
And the little flower did spy.
He picked it up in his hand so thin,
And its sweet perfume arose.
Then he searched and found some
where pin
In the fold of his ragged clothes
He gazed for moment, on his way go;
The blossom was fastened to stay,
He wore the white flower, but how
could he know,
That tomorrow was Mothers Day.
Many were the smiles he met on his
way,
And his papers he sold so fast,
That long before the close of the day,
He had sold to a customer his last.
The gentleman paused, 'My boy did
you hear,
That tomorrow we honor our mothers
BY wearing a flower; 1t seems to
appear
That you have gotten ahead of the
others.
But keep your flower; it tomorrow
wear,
And try to get other boys you know
To think of their mothers, and show
that they care,
By wearing the emblem also."
Mothers Day dawned, in warm sunny
May;
The churches were filled with
scores,
By those who honored Mothers Day,
From the pulpit, clear to the doors,
Then Jimmy, with water and
brushing neat,
With long line OF newsboys arrived ;
And by polite usher each were
shown to seat,
And by their presence showed how
Jimmy had strived.
