HOVf! INDIA IS HELD
Every now and thea some one
suggests that the great war
may bring about a revolution in
India, or at least formidable re
volts against the British rulers of.
that populous country. There is a
feeling that while the United King
dom ia busj with the vast struggle
in Europe the 325,000,000 In
habitants of Hindustan may think
it a good opportunity- to strike for
independences
Practically such a Tising Is im
possible. It takes arms to fight in
lhee« days. When the best weapons
were swords and speaia It was pos
sible to usq clubs and stones
against them. It cannot be done
irbea armies carry magazine rifles
effective at ranges as great as two
miles and the infantry has the sup
port of machine guns and quick
firing guns pouring out a stream of
sheila.
e . .vt.fcsk:«
The people «f India have no
arms, in a village in a district in
fested with beasts of prey one old
man may be allowed to keep a
muzzle-loading musket but the na
tives h&vtf practically no modern
weapons. It is not easy to import
even a single sporting rifle.
,, The native troop# serving Eng
land are well armed, of course, but
they are kept far from the homes
of their kinsfolk and co-religion
ists, as a rule. They serve the
British government in distant parts
of the country, among aliens of
different faith and different cus
toms. And the artillery is in the
bands of whits soldiers.
As for the native rulers of semi
independent states, they are often
well content with existing condi
tion®, it is safer and for most of
them moe flattering to their pride
to acknowledge a European suze^
rain than it would be to plunge
into a free-for-all struggle amoii
themselves for mastery or even for
independence.
So the grip of a distant power
upon the great Indian empire is
Quite secure, for the present. The
world is likely to witness for a
long time the extraordinary spec
tacle of 300,000 Europeans, includ
ing civilians o* all classes and their
families as well as the soldiers of
the British army in India, ruling
over 325,000,000 natives.
The department of justice may
have to hasten to investigate
the war-scare prices while they are
still with us.
Dr. Llebknecht may have con
sidered it Ju«t as effective to tie
shot for refusing to fight as for
fighting.
Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt hopes
to be a democratis senator from
New York. Suitable condolences
to democracy and New York.
All rumois and alarms to the
contrary. It appears that things
are still appropriately peaceful on
the Pacific.
It is not clear whether pngland
wants the 1,000,000 pounds of
Japanese silk for balloons or for
battle flags.
_ No doubt we should ^11 have
more money left to Bend to the Red
Cross If sugar and things did not
cost so much.
Events may yet compel the
requisitioning of Mr. Carnegie's
$1,500,000 peace palace at The
Hague for a military hospital.
The mat who wants Prohibition
ists taxed $5 a head must think
it's a privilege to be a Prohibition
ist,
And now every district attorney
mindful of his political future goes
gunning for the price-raising franc
tireurs, I
Tho administration might also
consider raising that $100,000,000
by an emergency tax on golf balls
and grape juice.

touch my face, not even tlio pillow. I had
to lie on tho back of the head. I was aiways
glad when morning came so I could get up.
It was extremely painful.

At last 1 thought of Cuticura Soap and

I used the sample of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, one twenty-flve-cent cake of
Cuticura Soap and a half box of tho Ufty

three weeks to complete the cure." (Signod)
