The Community Chest Problem rIERE ig one phase of the Community Chest problem this year which we regard as of supreme importance, namely.: the manner in which the money is to be distributed. - The great need this year, as everyone knows, is relief for those who are ont of work, and families dependent upon them. As a result a larger proportion than ever before should be ap portioned to those organizations in the Community Chest, hav ing charge of such work. Other organizations, doing good work of course, but in less urgent directions, should, we believe, be willing to accept smaller proportion than formerly, in view of the critical situa tion with which this, and every other, community is faced. e THERE is no need of getting panicky over the matter. The nrARftnt. writAi fins Tiist rnmnlaferl a trin thrniiirhniif ..Via northwest and is convinced general conditions here will be bet ter this winter than in a majority of districts elsewhere. Nevertheless, a greater need for charitable aid will exist than ever before, and a general revival of that spirit of common effort and self-sacrifice so conspicuous during the world war, has become an inescapable obligation of good citizenship. We feel sure that those units in the Community Chest, cog' nizant of the true situation, will gladly co-operate in the im portant matter of concentrating this year upon distributing the bulk of the available funds where they will be most needed and will do the entire community the most good. At Last, A True Christian npHE visit of Mahatma Gandhi to London is a tremendously 1nt.0rAflt.ino intAfAflfinfy anr aifvmflffnnt av.nt Old John Bull frankly admits Mahatma is a hard nut to crack. A writer in the London Times fairly expresses the typi cal British reaction when he says : "Mahatma Oandhl Is difficult to deal with for he really lent what he pretends to be. Be pretends to be a dark-skinned son ot God, a modern saint but In reality ha Is a very clever and adroit politician, disguised ss a aelnt. In his plea for non-resistance he Is merely mak ing a virtue of necessity, with no army or navy behind him, non resistance la not only hla most effective but his only available weapon. Re preaches against war, yet he adopts all the methods ot war, pos alble to an Impoverished and unarmed nation. He orders his followers to refute to pay taxes, to refuss military service, to Join. In a boycott against British-made goods, all methods of war, accepted by world powers sa causes of war but In this case not accompanied by war, simply because India la physically unable to wage war. Aa a result Oandhl Is most difficult to deal with, for there Is no effective way of opposing him. He- Is actually a rebel, who refuses to accept the re sponsibilities and sacrifices of rebellion. If he were a militant leader, our army and navy eould handle him: It he were a genuine saint, de pending upon the efficacy of fasting, self-denial and prayer, he could be Ignored, but when he la neither, but a little ot both, the gov ernment stands rather ridiculous and powerless before him." There is, we believe, a great deal of truth in this assertion, But there is another angle to the situation, and an interesting one. Isn't it true, for example, that England is completely baf fled by this "dark skinned infidel," because for nearly 2000 years this is the first time it has had to deal, politically and diplomatically, with a true Christian, a national leader who does not profess Christianity, but aotually PRACTICES ITt The burden of proof, it seems to us, rests upon those who deny the truth of this statement. If Gandhi in his private and publid life is not genuinely Christ-like, then WHAT is bet eeeee UTQTl t ii i.-. i si. ... -uiiw. jiieavneu uuu-icoioiauuo, uaaaui praouucB it, jurist preached humility, Gandhi praotices THAT; Christ re nounced wealth," extolled poverty j certainly Gandhi, with his loin cloth and goat's milk, espouses both. Christ's politioal phi losophy was based solidly upon the brotherhood of Man ; in his plan for Indian self-government, that is the cornerstone of Gandhi a platforin.tlie essence of his entire political faith. No matter from what direction Mahtama Gandi is attacked. it seems to us that he comes closer to realizing the Christian ideal, than any other national leader in the history of modern civilization. e e e e . e , T MAT be true that Gandhi's dootrine is, and always has been, 1 influenced by the conditions surrounding him, but does any student of history deny that Christ's dootrine was influenced by the conditions surrounding HIMf The important faot, we believe, is not what may have made this "Saviour of India' Christ-like, but the fact that he is Christ-like. A ND even MORE interesting, if not more important, is this That the first instance of Christiapiity being applied lit erally in international relations, is making good, getting re sults where the accepted methods of rebellion have failed. What the final outcome will be of course no one knows. But this muoh is certain in this "dark-skinned man of God," this emaciated, half-naked mendicant, lies the only hope of a peace- ful solution of the problem of Indian home rule. Without him India would be lost, with him India may win. This la the time when the chap who U drawing a big salary which he doea not earn must feel like a sinner a camp meeting, (Dallas.

I. H. GOVE Dependable Dentistry 235 East Main, Upstair Phone 872-J A correspondent writes to the Cap ital Journal as follows: It would help the present situ ation of non-employment If all the married women, whose hus bands are drawing salaries or In business, would voluntarily re sign. It does not seem right to me that one family should be getting so much income when there are many honest girls who have to live and are out of positions. I . know you have thought of this because of edi torials written before. I wonder if you would write some more of them and encourage those women to .resign and stay- in their own homes. There are plenty of ways for a married woman to exercise her talents be sides taking the bread from sin gle girls who need to work. There is no question but that a contributing cause to the present unemployment situation is the num ber of married women,- whose hus bands have salaried positions, who are working In offices instead of housekeeping, thus increasing "the family Income at the expense of the unemployed, but the Capital Journal doesn't know Just what can be done about. It. These women want luxur ies or a higher standard of living and are willing. If necessary to sacrifice family life to obtain It. We have frequently commented on this fact, but we have as yet to learn of a single Instance where any such married woman left a Job at her own volition or had any compunctions about thus taking the bread out of the mouths of others.
