Sri Jagatguru and Democracy.

YESTERDAY we quoted a striking passage from a speech recently delivered by his Holiness Sri Jagatguru of Karvir Peeth. Here is another equally striking passage:-"The whole world is marching towards democratic ideas and no Government, no system of repression can ever stop it. The attack makes the march swifter and more dangerous. Take one single instance. The action of the Government of Madras in interning Mrs. Besant only aggravated the situation in the country and people flocked in thousands round her banner, and even the greatest men began to fear what proportion the agitation would assume. Thank God her liberty and the influence of His Excellency the Viceroy and His Majesty's Secretary of State has calmed the political atmosphere. What I insist here is that for good or for evil the cards have been let loose and the march has begun. There is no use forcing the people to recede."
