CHINA EOR TILE CHINESE

Another highly significant and intrinsically
important step in the awakening of China is in
dicated in the announcement that the Peking
Syndicate will relinqush to the Chinese govern
ment all the concessions which were some years
ago granted to it in the province of Shan-Si
Inc granting of those concessions was com
mented upon at the time in these columns as OF
exceptional interest TO China and TO the entire
industrial and commercial world. Shan-Si Is
the great province which lies lust west and
south Of Chilli, bounded the west and south
by the Yellow River, and il is said on excellent
authority TO contain probably the largest and
rlchest deposits Of both iron and coal in all the
world, much Of the coal being the finest quality
OF anthracite. Making desirable and prudent
allowances for the Overstatements of specula-
tors and enthusiasts, we may pretty safely be-
lleve that there in that province very large
deposits OF iron and coal in such close proximity
to each other as 10 afford exceptional facilities
Tor the development of great industries on the
spot, while their nearness TO the Yellow River
will enable easy shipment OF products to the
coast and thence TO all parts of the world-for
that treacherous stream called the Woe of
China, is susceptible of control and improvement
into a useful and commOdi0us route of trans
portation.
The intrinsic value of concessions covering
practically all 'the mineral resources OF that
province, and the consequent Importance of the
REIMBURSEMENT of them, must be obvious. But
still more worthy of consideration is the sig
nificance Of this REIMBURSEMENT as a part of the
process of restoring China TO the Chinese. The
animosity Of the Chinese populace against "for-
egn devils" and their devices has been chiefly
because the foreigners seemed TO be acquiring
propretorship Of the country. Thus the build
ing of railroads was opposed because they were
70 be built and owned by aliens. Much of the
inclination TO depose the present imperial dy-
nasty arose from the readiness and profusiOn
with which il granted important concessions TO
foreign corporations. some OF which not only
conveyed resources and opportunities of vast
wealth, but also bestowed upon aliens a certain
police and administrative authority over the
regions affected. Indeed. the granting of some
concessions. such this in Shan-Si and that
! for the trunk line Hanliow Canton railroad came
perilously near to provoking open instructions,
and probably would actually have done so had
not the government changed its policy, stopped
granting such concessions and taken steps for
getting back rs many possible of those which
/ ii had granted.

81 mines are the most important of the conces-

LJREPTY AND LAWRREAEiNG.

One of those spellbinding spOkesmen of Mr..
Katzenbach who say things in his behalf
which the Democratic candidate for Governor
of New Jersey is unable or unwilling to say
for himself declared at Newark the other night
that Mr. KatZenhaCh was "One Of the most
liberal of men of German extraction" and
added that all Trenton would vote for him for
Governor because of his liberal administra-
ton while Mayor of that city"
When Nfr. Katzenbach was Mayor of Tren-
ton there was, as there now is strict law
against the Sunday opening of liquor saloons.
But about every saloon whose proprietor
wanted it open was open on Sunday. by the
side door The law was widely and VIGOROUSLY
violated Trenton was known as wide open
city. by the side door Mr.. Katzenbach's lib
eral" administration was an administration
under which lawbreaking fourished with i'm
punity.
That apparently Is the sort Of administra-
ton in state affairs which the Democrats want
and which they would expect Mr.. katzenDach
TO give them if he were elected Governor. They
would not venture TO repeal the law against
Sunday opening but they would let that law
be freely broken by way of the side doors ana
in the abominable back rooms Of ginmills Mr..
katZenbach himself strongly encourages the
idea that that is the sort of administration
which he would give, partly through his record
as the liberal Mayor of Trenton and partly
through his mnwilllngness TO declare himself on
the excise question
1t remains to be seen whether the law-abid-
ing citizens of the State of New Jersey want
an administration which would wink at law
breaking. We do not believe they do. The
great majority want the Sunday law retained
on the statute book and mparually enforced.
Some doubtless would like TO see it repealed
and all saloons opened wide on Sunday the
same as on every other day, and they are
frank and honest in saying so. As for those
who want the law retained but violated who
are for the law but against It's enforcement
II would be interesting 10 have them stand up
and be counted.

sions thus reganed-they are probably the most
important ever granted-but they are only two
among great many which the Chinese govern
ment has thus taken back. BY this process dis
affection has been allayed and the dynasty has
been strengthened. More important still. China
has shown herself capable Of developing her own
resources. for most if not all of these works
are now being prosecuted by the Chinese them
selves with about much energy and sue
cess as foreign concession holders could have
shown. OF course, the value of the change TO
China to the Chinese spirit of nationality and
independence. is simply inestimable. coun-
try which has to farm out ALLEVIATE its re-
sources to foreigners for exploitation is in an
inferior, might say a degraded, position. The
consciousness of sovereignty and the most sym
metrical and complete development of national
ity must come from the realization of self-sufii
cheney. There could thus be nothing more aus
piciOus of political and civic good TO China than
this resumption of ownership and control of her
own resources. 1t means. in the fullest possible
degree, China for the Chinese.

each country and they will choose the ninth by
lot. But instead of each country selecting its
own members it will select those from the other
country. Presumably Hungary will select the
four Austrians who most favorably disposed
toward Hungary. and Austria will select Hun
garians of the most pronounced pro-Austrlan
procvties. In that way we may expect to see
formed court of particularly moderate and
conciliatory sentiments But whether such an
arrangement will prove satisfactory TO the pop
ulace is problematic People a rule want to
be represented by men who take their side Of
