We have beeja so proud, of our: freedom here in America, for the past hundred and fifty years or so, that we have added a sub-title, "The Land of the Free" to our riative heath.

The Arabian would seem to possess arguments in his favor, for, we are assured he pays no taxes. If, as might appear to many of our citizens at about the present time, freedom from paying taxes is the best kind of freedom, the ' Arab would certainly seem to have something on us. Moreover, if freedom from taxation should not seem to be sufficient to make good the claim of these Arabs* that they are "the freest people in the world," it might be added 1li;il neither do they pay rent, obey any laws they don't feel like obeying, permit any policeman to interfere with their ideas of traffic, nor go to war except when they get good and ready. The Bedouin sheik and family would laugh a wild, WILLIAM WHITNEY County Surveyor For Baltimore County COURT HOUSE, TOWSON, MD. Telephone, Towson 456 barbaric laugh at the idea of an American citizen's claim to freedom. As for the sheik, he pays no taxes. He shoots tax collectors. He knows no landlord. He has no house to enslave him. He lives in a tent, on the lands given to him ages ago. Sometimes foreigners try to interfere with him and make him conform but they learn, Without delay and unmistakably, that the Bedouin does not conform to anything aside from his tribal traditions. When the Bedouin fights, he goes after enemies of his own choosing, and does so with courage and dispatch and efficiency. But when fighting bores him or becomes tedious, he mounts his Arab horse and is off. This, as the Bedouin sees it, is freedom—-real freedom; freedom beyond the offerings of the veriest modern poet. Moreover, the Bedouin lives. He lives magnificently. He has his camels, his goats, his horses—mobile property and dignified property that multiplies and provides a living and more, property that takes care of itself, largely, or can be entrusted to'those slavish creatures, women. He demands and gets fees from travelers in the desert, timid fellows who are willing to pay and thus protect themselves against robbery. And so the Bedouin gets money, whereupon he goes to Jerusalem and swaggers through the streets. He enters a shop and bawls loudly for a nargile and tobacco and cof- fee. His tip to the waiter is a look of proud disdain, and the innkeeper is a pleased man if his guests do not break the nargile over his humble, landlordish head. On a shopping tour the Bedouin is equally magnificent. What money he has, he spends, and with it he buys silks and jeweled trinkets and whatever catches his i fancy, but always drives a close ¦ bargain. He scowls, threatens and beguiles the merchant, and ; perhaps does not steal more than j two or three minor articles. j He stalks through the streets i proudly and without fear. Indeed, what has he to fear? The hate and resentment of a lot of shopkeepers ? Bah! Hate and* resentment are what he wants. He would scorn their friendship. But might they not harm him? The sheik's eyes narrow dreamily but with a peculiar gleam in them. True, they might attempt to do him harm, but these shopkeepers have learned that molesting a Bedouin is dangerous business. You see, there are so many other Bedouins to avenge an injured brother in a very violent and disagreeable manner. Besides, it is not the Bedouin nature to be fearful, any more than it is the Bedouin nature to yield to dictation. He is a Mohammedan and a child of Kismet. If Allah wills that the end of his days is come, so be it. This seems to indicate a deep religious strain in the fellow. Religious? Of course he is. He is a good Mohammedan. He knows his Koran, learned it by rote in his childhood, but he does not let his religion restrict him in his sense of freedom. He is as free in conscience as he is otherwise, (Continued on Page 4) CONSULT BLACK & COMPAN Certified Public Accountants 90S GARRETT BLDG BALTIMORE. MD.
