CHINESE IDEAS.
Afraid of Being Driven Out by For
eign Nations.
Denver News.)


A Chinese writer by the name or
Kang Yu Wei has recently published
book lin Chinese) dealing with the con-
ditions of his native land. The North
China Herald Shanghai regards the
book as such a fair and able present
alton of the ideas of a large number OF
patriotic Cinnamon that it has had the
most striking passages translated.
From them we take the following;
I'VE shall all be driven out Of Chi
IA. Russia has elected the Jews, $50 GOO
being driven forth. TWenty-fOur hours
were allowed them to get beyond the
Russian boundaries. They could nei-
Their sell their lands nor houses, and
could take with them only little ready
money. Not being allowed to avail
themselves either Of train or steam
boat, their aged and their little ones
had to be carried by the strong. and
were in great fear Moreover, when
elected from Russia, they had no ma
tive land to which to return. Long ago
Palestine had been paTcelled out among
its powerful neighbOrs.
so, if our country were conquered,
and we were driven forth to live among
foreigners. we, too. like the Jews,
should have no fatherland to which
to turn. We might attempt to enter
some other country, but its people
would eject US. Even if they admitted
us among them, their rulers would tax
US.
Our race will be destroyed See how
Russia has treated Poland. The Rus
slams banished all the able bodied men
and allowed only the old men to re-
main in the country. Therefore, the
Polish race has been exterminated. At
present the women of India are mar
ried to foreigners. Everybody knows
that the races of India are in danger Of
being exterminated. Today the white
races predominant over the entire
globe Among the yellow races, the
Chinese only WELD any political inf1u-
ence and rule their own country.
IF our country should be conquered
and its government controlled by for
eigners they would asSuredly treat Us
as they have treated the Poles and
the Hindus. We, our children and cur
grandchildren would be altogether ex-
terminated. Japan fOTSeeS this Calam-
ity and she has therefore retrOceded to
China ten of the captured battleships.
She fears that our annihialtiOn would
jeOpardize her independence. China
and Japan hold the same close rela-
tiOnship to each other as do the lips
to the teeth.
THE Chinese race is vast and our
country is extensive. We are 400 ,000,-
600 and China is larger than the sixteen
countries of Europe The precious
metals in our mines have no equal in
the world Yet. though we are numer-
Gus, we are despised, insulted and muir
dered by other people The Chinese
who live beyond the seas, numbering
at least 5000. 600. are also daily abused
and insulted by those among whom
! they live. Their government cannot
protect them.
But who are the government Chi
ma has no parliament. The power is
all vested in one person. During the
past thirty years England, France,
Russian and Germany have all extend
ed their boundaries and increased their
power. China alone has refrigerated
Who has done this?
