! filed before the hearing in the
; proceeding.
| It is unnecessary to dwell upon
f ile occasional abuses that have
..risen in carrying out the doc
trine of “constructive contempt,”
a dangerous extension of indirect
contempt, or upon the fact that
the freedom of the press has
been the principle sufferer. To
the layman it seems intolerable
that a judge should sit in his
own case, be at once complain
ant and judge and rule upon and
punish for a personal grievance
As Newton D. Baker has said,
The dignity of courts is not
preserved by severity upon their
critics but by the righteousness
of their decisions.” For personal
attacks by newspapers the libel
laws afford sufficient remedy.
Senator Vandenberg quotes this
oassage from a decision by Chief
Justice Taft:
“The case before us is one in
which the issue between the
ludge and the parties had come
to involve marked personal feel
ings that did not make for an
impartial and calm judicial con
ideration and conclusion, as the
statement of the proceedings
abundantly shows. We think
therefore, that when this case
again reaches the District Court
o which it must be remanded,
he judge who imposed the sen
tence herein should invite the
;enior circuit judge to assign
another judge to sit in the se
cond hearing of the charge
against the petitioner.”
This vo 1 u n t a r y substitution
would be made compulsory by
Mr. Vandenberg’s bill. Nobody’s
right is diminished by taking
away the judge’s privilege of vin
dicating his own virtue or satis
fying, unconsciously, perhaps,
his own vanity or anger. Per
haps it is too much to hope that
Mr. Vandenberg’s amendment
will be adapted in this CY ogress
Of its ultimate passsg’ there
should be no doubt. Sporadic
judicial interferences with t e
liberty of toe press mis yen

A. distinguished American spent
several months in India last year
nterviewing the leaders of In
dian thought and life. I have
recently had the privilege of
reading the rather full diary of
liis trip and the report of his
interviews. He had long talks
with Ghandi, Tagore and fifty
or sixty other eminent Indians.
The amusing thing is the gener
al criticism of Western civiliza
tion and the decided feeling of
superiority on the part of the
Indians to the Westerners. If
the diary is an index to a wide
spread attitude in India—as I
imagine it is—the Indian has a
very decided superiority com
plex and rather pities the white
races for their benightedness.
The white races are concerned
with things, the Eastern races
with thought. The white man is
materialistic, the -Indian is
spiritual. The white peoples
find their chief joy in activity,
the Indian in contemplation.
The wldte races think progress
in railroads and factories and
big business; the Indian thinks
progress is in soul culture and
the attainment of oneness with
the spiritual forces of the uni
verse. The white people are
slaves of desires and posses
sions; the Indians believe in
them and seek complete self
hood father than possessions.
The white races are happy or
unhappy according to circum
stances the Indian goes on his
calm, self-possessed way regard
less of circumstance. One could
not read the utterances of these
Indian leaders without coming
to the conclusion that they felt
our whole philosophy of life was
misguided and false, and that
the Eastern races were far su
perior in everything that really
mattered. Anyone who has
* listened to the Hindu swamis
wHtf have come to this country
must have detected a very de
cided "superiority complex in
them.
As for the Japanese, I have no
recollection of any utterance
showing a consciousness of su
periority over the white races. I
rather think they pride them
selves on being like the West
ern races. A very decided con
tempt for the Chinese is often
manifested in their utterances
and one has the feeling that
down in their hearts they feel
that could China be turned ov
er to Japan they would bring
order out of chaos in a year and
give China a stable government
and in a few years make it
rich and prosperous. Their ex
cuse for staying in Korea is al
ways that the Koreans cannot
govern themselves.
Of course, it is as Bishop Mc
Connell said at the beginning,
the greatest menace to the peace
Df the world—this “superiority
complex.” It has its humorous
side, too, and the next time we
hear one of our fiery patriots or
protagonists of the white races
holding forth on our superiority
to the yellow races, remember
that somewhere in India or Chi
na a smooth-tongued Oriental
is proclaiming the superiority of
Pastern culture, civilization and
philosophy of life, and perhaps
speaking in somewhat pitying
tones of our backward culture
and the ultimate passing of our;!
prestige and power.—Frederick!;
Lynch, in The Presbyterian Ad- j!
vance.
EDUCATION AND
CIVILIZATION
-x
Are we civilized? H. Adding
ton Bruce, well-known publicist
and sociologist doubts it and
gives reasons for his doubts.
He points out that civilization
is not the same thing as finan
:ial prosperity—acceptance of
which belief is prevalent thru
out the land. The dictionary
iefinition for civilization is “re
claimed from savage life and
manners; of being instructed in
ores, learning, of being educated,
refined, humanized.”
He declares then that the one
thing which counts for civili
zation is the attitude of the na
tion toward the things of the
heart, mind and spirit, and that
we need to alter our national
outlook on life before we can
know what it means to be civi
lized.
The very fact that newspapers
furnish evidence of crowd men
tality is a sad commentary on
the mental state of a large num
ber of readers. They crave crowd
excitement—a m u se m en t and
crowd shock.
Prominent educators are con
cerned and disturbed over the
educational system of today,
and they insist upon worthier
ideals. In a recent address Hen
ry R. Gerling, acting superin
tendent of schools declared that
scholarship was not the sole
purpose of the public school, but
that character building was just
is important. He agreed with
Lord Cecil who preferred having
a second-class brain to a se
cond-class character and insist
ed that it was the duty of the
schools to help pupils to discov
er their capabilities and develop
well-rounded characters, instead
of merely acting as a sieve to
sift out the weaker minds and
leave the brighter ones for high
er education; to give to every
one an opportunity to live to the
I maximum of his capacity and to
convert into spiritual values the
material things about him.
DISCOVERS SALT LEDGE
A solid salt ledge of salt was dis
covered during the past summer
according to the Seward Gate
way, in the Big Delta country,
The discoverer was out looking
for a copper prospect when he
came upon this unusual deposit.
