He was the last of the Victorians and among the fore most in this new age, with an inter national vision and matter a na tional loyalty. He seemed more like forty - five than eighty -one in his years. As chief secretary for Ireland he probably acquired the sympathy which distinguished him in his latter days. "Bloody Balfour" he was call ed. He softened and instituted a pol icy which was influential towards ultimate settlement of the Irish prob lem. In the post-World war adjust ments his course land deeds were consistently broad, liberal and kind ly. Such a statesman, with sound judgment, breadth of view, an open mind and a warm heart, can not well be spared. TUNE IN on Maytag Radio Program over N.Q.C.

Gandhi, the philosopher-pacifist, on Sunday made an effort to stim ulate widespread Indian revolt, which well may eventuate a reign of terror such as the world never yet has known. A crisis in Indian affairs is at hand. Civil disobedience, non-violence refusal to pay taxes, the boy cot of all foreign-made goods these are preached by India's "holy" man. He capitalizes this estate. He has an enormous following. Nothing would better suit his purpose than to be made a martyr. This is why the British Government to this time has refrained from arresting him. There are many among his immediate disciples who have been trained by himself to carry on in the event that he should be removed from the cam paign. Gandhi's action well may be lik ened to the throwing of a match into a powder magazine. Millions of In dians seethe with unrest have done so always but are at present in flamed to a point of readiness to re volt; to kill, burn, destroy white supremacy. Gandhi knows this to be true. He preaches against military revolt and in the same breath incites it. The wise man does not at the same time counsel and tempt a tiger to violence. This is what Gandhi is doing. Perhaps in the depths of the in scrutable oriental mind, with the casuistry of the frantic, revolt, mur der, war and all the crimes of war, colossal disruption may appear justi fiable, to the end that ignorant mil lions may be delivered from Britain's overlordship. This must be so, for Gandhi is too intelligent not to real ize the evil potentialities of his coun sel and his actions at this time. Taxes must be collected if a semb lance of proper government is to be maintained; extended civil disobed ience cannot be permitted to pass disregarded. No intelligent and un biased student of national affairs honestly can say that the people of India now are competent to govern themselves. What, then, should be done? It is very difficult to say. But It is not at all difficult to see that a terrible situation exists in India. The program of Gandhi is pregnant with colossal, terrible men ace to the lives and well-being of millions of his own and other peo ples. He walks in the odor of a self acclaimed sanctity, but his footsteps echo the calling of tragedy and mul tiple death. The problem here pre sented is sinister and vastly difficult of solution. :o:- THE MACHINE AGE The present is a machine age per haps chiefly because the engineer has made it such an age. In any event, President Hoover, in his ad dress before the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, seemed to re cognize this to be the fact. But the President stressed the jus tice and importance of the obliga tion of engineers to make proper con tribution to public service urged them to humanly control the mighty creations born of their genius. He informed his auditors that the blessings conferred upon mankind be cause of the discoveries and inven tions of engineers are complemented by multiple problems of government, and that "the ' complexity of these problems progress with the increase of our population." In his view these problems of public relation are unsolvable without the technical knowledge of the engineer. Hence the need for a large leavening of the engineering knowledge and engi neering attitude of mind and engi neering method. But the President Would not have all public service turned over to the engineer. He expresses high appre ciation for the services of others. He clearly sees the danger of possible misuse of our great national tools engines, railways, airplanes, steam ships, automobiles, electric power and the vast aggregation of imple ments, and the supplies of material upon which they depend. These, he says, must not be misused to limit liberty and freedom, must not retard equality of opportunity amongst all our citizens. This danger exists. The President's pronouncement constitutes a prop hetic warning. To cope with this possible disastrous eventuality Presi dent Hoover calls upon the great en gineering genius of the country not to divorce itself from those principles and emotions of humanity which have assisted man's progress through the ages. :o: 1 The receiver for a brokerage house which sold 12 per cent stock to the ultra-optimistic came into possession of memoranda on overdrafts and eight cents in the till. He said that the company's affairs looked compli cated. On the contrary, they look simple -except the eight centa. MOON GODDESS This lyric was awarded the prize at the annual University of Cincin nati Greek Games. It was written by Dorothy Hughes, a freshman in the College of Liberal Arts: Within a jade and silver car Of Wond'rous glow. Fair Artemis is speeding by And far below Are lowly mortals who behold With widened eyes The goddess of the pale-green moon In evening skies. At every turn the shining wheels Throw out a spark; Each makes a tiny, brilliant star Shine through the dark And as the beauties of the night Are passing by Diana ends her journey through The steel-blue sky. The chariot is put away; The driver gone! Her radiance is melting in The cool, gray dawn. :o: A district attorney down in Ken tucky says that the profit on a bar rel of alcohol used in the manufac ture of Jamaica ginger is about 700. That isn't so much. Just think of the time and trouble consumed in putting it up in small bottles and pasting on the labels. :-o: Our clever anc entertaining New York columnist, Odd Mclntyre, says that William A. Brady, theatrical producer, often goes to sleep with a cigar in his mouth. Yeah, and one of these nights he is going to wake up with a fire engine puffing just out side his room. io:- While in Mexico recenny, Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Jr., millionaire, tapped a taxi driver over the head with a blackjack to make him follow out directions. This simply demon strates what a little jack will do for one. to:- Winston Churchill says the British Parliament needs a third house. Well, we have an extra house in Washing ton, already in session, which a long suffering public would be glad to loan to Westminister at once and per manently. :o: Bead the Journal Want-Ada.
