GANDHI THE MAN.
. “What manner of man is this selfappointed ‘Dictator* of India P It is a difficult qes'tion to answer, for he is a mass of. contradictions. I knew Gandhi well during several of his previous campaigns. In appearance this man of 60 is short, thin,, insignificant and constitutionally weak. By nature shy, retiring,, and with no oratorical gifts, he has forced himself into the limelight; A : mystic, lie became the veriest of materialists when demanding funds for the Home Rule and other campaigns. Hindu who believing all life sacred, would not kill a mosquito himself, lie started movements which led to rioting and bloodshed. A student, he foresook the study for the market-place.”—“W.E.” in the “York shre Post.”,
