Editor, The Times: Recently I

world. OF course, humanity it.
self is to blame. But we may
ask ourselves. does theosophy
offer solution to social prob
lens? Yes, to those who can
understand that life expresses
itself in several dimensions.
Then why do we know so little
about theosophy Let us ex-
anime ourselves as a nation.
The constitution OF the u. S.
does not contain the words, edu-
cation. school, God. The Bill of
Rights, however, guarantees re-
ligious liberty and free speech.
While we hear quite a bit about
religion, our national policy has
been to shy Gle r of all religious
education. The result has been
that in America most of US have
accepted the Bible in its literal
translation. This accounts per-
haps for William S. Knudsen's
Latin Interpretation of Status
quo" as the fix we're in"
Religious educators tell us
that there are several interpreta-
tons for the Bible. The first is
the historical or literal inter-
probation. The Bible itself
teaches that part of it at least
is allegorical; Galatians 4:24.
Let US turn to the Bible. Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self" We stand pat on the lit
eral Interpretation all right and
not one dot or title" of the
words shall be interpreted other
than what we in our lack of
education have interpreted them.
But, of course, we do not love
our neighbor as ourself. In this
instance God just asked a little
too much of us.
And then we read the old tes-
lament and while we do not I'M
derstand at all what it means.
we enjoy taking il literally be-
cause its violent blood and thun-
der language fits our violent
emotions of today. And we teach
our young men that they should
be proud to sacrifice their lives
on the battlefield in order 10
glorify an imaginary God.
All of this because it is I'M
constitutional to make a study
of the philosophical and religious
meaning of life and love and God
in the public schools. Had we
been permitted TO teach theoso-
ply and kindred philosophy IS
or even so years ago We might
not have been called upon for
all this war and shooting bust
ness today.

POLITICAL UNREST
DISTURBING

Political upsets in recent mu-
nicipal elections have puzzled
and troubled the officeholders
at Washington. The voters are
turning incumbents out of city
halls in a big way. and the fed
erals wonder whether the trend
will persist through the 1912
congressional elections.
In all except a few cities,
mayors who faced the voters in
1871 have been defeated. There
appeals to be no single pattern
10 the enforced exodus. The
people have reared up against
Republicans and Democrats, rad
icals and conservatives. good
officials and bad. pro-war and
snti-wsr advocates. New Deal
ers and Old Dealers. longtime
officeholders and comparative
newcomers. Nor is the dehacls
confined TO any one section. II
has struck such municipalities
as Miami. Newark, Peoria. Rock
ford. Duluth. Fresno. Charlotte.
The latest 10 suffer was Maury
Maverick. Of San Antonio, who
modelled his personality and poll
cies after his hero. Fiorello II.

The only explanation the poll
ticians here offer is that the
string Of defeats reflects social
and economic unrest and desire
for a change. Supporting this
theory is the reelection of Boss
