THE CHINESE CONSERVATISM F:
1F TIE ANGLO-SkxON. :


Our time honored notion OF the
progressive Anglo-Saxon sustains
some rude jolts from an article in the
Atlantic which pleads for the political
and civil rights of the adult minor.
AS in the United States and Eng
land. says the writer, the political
and civil maturity of the citizen is
acknowledged at twenty-one by
France. Spain. Belgium. Greece. Eou-
mania. Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, Ven
ezuela. Servia, and most OF Germany 8.
except that in Belgium. Bolivia, and
Roumania. a man must be twenty-five
years OF age TO marry against the
parental will.
The civilization OF England and the
United States. in many ways the high
est in the world. makes legal infancy
as long now as it was in the remot-
est ancestral generations to which
history can trace the stock. This al
most rivals the performance Of China
In retaining thirty years az full legal
age from the time of Confucius until
the present.
We inherited our twenty-one year
qualification from England, and Eng
understanding to Blackstone-sot
it from the Saxon tribes that came
over from the mainland of Europe.
Our present age OF fun legal man
hood, therefore. is one of the few
features OF our institutions which
have been unchanged for over thou
sand years. Perhaps it would not be
too much to say that this is the only
vital feature in our civilization. except

sweeping alteration during all those

The small landowners. who form the

peasant born and peasant bred. They
are extremely thrifty. They are con

the same sheepskin garments from
year to year. only turning their coats
inside out with the changes of the
season.
Whole familiees, even of well TO do
peasants. sleep in the same room upon
mats stretched out on the floor. They
live under conditions of dirt and dis

A Victorian Anthology.

One discovers already In her two
qualities which she retained through
life and which struck those who knew
her personally in her later years all
the more because they seemed at
first sight to be hardly compatible
qualities. One was strong personal
/. de and sense of the dignity OF her
position. She was not naughty, much
less arrogant But she was pene-
trated through and through with
sense OF what 1t meant to be head OF
the United Kingdom and the British
Empire. Yet although this feeling
was added to her own high spirit
she would have been deemed a high
spirited woman even In q private sta
tion--it did not In her bear the fruit
OF vanity. She was not vain. She
knew her own intellectual limitations
and never tried to make figure In
fields for which he was not fitted. II
ore were to make Z comparison At
all between persons whose surround
lngs were so different one might in
comparing her with Queen Elizabeth
observe that she was quite free from
two Of Elizabeth's salient faults, per
sonal vanity and faithlessness. Truth
fulness and honor were the basis oi
her character and as she was above
deception herself. SO she had Z hor
ror OF deceit in others. She thought
that International policy ought to be
