THE THREAT OF THE COssACK.

| 1t is just now beginning to dawn up
| on the Anglo-Saxon race more particu-
| larly that there is an issue growing out
| of the Russo Japanese war which tran
| scends in Importance to civilization and
| the personal liberty of humankind mere
territorial expansion or the glory of
achieved victory upon the battlefield.
This issue is an ethical-economic ques-
ton, and it concerns most of Europe
and all of America. 1t is thus: Sup
pose Japan is left to work out her own
national salvation, and that she IS final
" driven to the wall. Would it not mean
that all Of Eastern Asia would ultimate
" have to yield to Russian absorption
and Russian laws and Russian customs
Would not the form of Government be
ultra autocratic and the civilization be
even lower than is maintained IN the
present Russian emp1re' Would the
spirit of constitutional Government, to
say nothing of democracy and the rights
of man. be permitted to find expression
in public sentiment? Is it not easy
enough to foresee that the St. Peters
burg autocrat. who is also, or rather
claims to be. the infallible head of the
Christian Church, on earth, would dom
mate and practically govern an addi-
tional population of quite 45ooooooo
Asiatics and fly the flag Of the Bear
over 100000 additional square miles OF
territory-about the area of the United
States. including Alaska? And would
not the traditional Romanoff hatred of
intellectual and moral forces that work
for the betterment of mans condition
OF existence be the measure of Russia, 5
standard of civilization in Eastern Asa
It is this possibility that IS just now
engaging the attention of the world
strongest and ablest thinkers, and 1t IS
this possibility that is everywhere out
side OF Russia and royalty III Germany
that is arousing human sympathy with
Japan 1t is the fear of the consumma-
ton of Russia's bold scheme to increase
her territorial possessions by one-th1rd,
and oblige nearly one-thlrd OF the
worlds population to surrender all hopes
and aspirations for personal liberty and
a higher civilization. and bow the head
in abject submission TO the will and
wish OF mentally and morally diseased
ruler. who is always law unto himself,
without restraint and without reSponsi-
bility to anv one. Japan has already
demonstrated her worthiness TO have
from the Anglo-SaXon all needed moral
and physical forces in her great under
taking of leading Eastern Asia out into
broader and more fertile fields of in
tellectual force. moral worth. commercial
integrity. industrial activity and encour-
agement to individual effort for greater
personal freedom and collective progress.
