read yesterdays cabegram an
nouncing the assassination of Ito, a
man of worldly power and renown
by Korean martyr at Harbin My
nerves have been shattered, being
greatly aroused by such an unusual
deed. Thinking it over in the midst
of JOY then sorrow appears for such
q deed cannot be ours. In spite Of
that / am glad. I am glad because
one of the worlds most powerful men
has had such a beginning and end
ing in life. I am glad because the
people of the world are beginning to
realize the truths of liberty and are
willing to sacrifice ones life for 9TH
ers. Why l am grevious? / am be-
cause China has no such a man, and
cannot be equal to Korea.
Prince Ito Is one of the most pow
erful men in the world
After the Russo-Japan war, he was
made Governor-General of Korea. Ar
ter several years of work and many
great questions have been settled, he
turned his attention towards the di-
recting of Korea's internal affairs,
and this leads me to know that he is
inclined to possess ones country.
Japan's avarice would grasp the east
and west Korea is already in her
hands, and she is to advance to Man
churia. I have already written about
Ito's action in Manchuria, and said
that Manchuria will be another Ko-
rea. When Ito came to Korea, Korea
was lost, and now Ito goes to Man
churia. China certainly does not
want the fate of Korea. Can she
avoid it? Look at the On-Hung Rail-
way controversy. The Chinese are
sleeping. Do you feel sorry for the
ignorance of the Chinese people?
Korea is but a very small country
Asia Her land is scarce and her
population is small. After the Rus
so-Japan war she fell to the hands
of Japan and the Japanese were let
in to direct the government. After
the japanese victory over Russia, the
Japanese greatly manifested their
pride. The Japanese allotted lands
in Korea to their countrymen and the
Koreans could hardly protect them
selves from their oppression. How
ever their heart is not dead. they
resisted the Japanese soldiers, and
the pathic scenes of the Koreans as
described by a white missionary are
really intolerable. The existence OF
nation dpends upon the spirit of
its people. Though the nation may
be perished, but If its spirit is alive,
1t will be alive also. Therefore,
though Korea is under Japan's con-
troll, but the Koreans are willing to
show blood, and their efforts to op-
pose Japan are irresistible. Though
Korea is perished, yet her spirit is
still alive. Comparing them to our
40O,000,O00 of people, our nation is
already perished and look upon 9TH
ers as our father Oh. men Of dis
grace, why don't you die?
Our countrymen, on account of the
magnitude of our country often des-
pise the Koreans. ! don't understand
why they assume such an attitude.
Korea is lost to Japan, and we are
perished at the hands of a downcast
race, the Manchurians. How are we
to be be compared with Korea? We
claim that Korea has no prosperous
commerce and no prospects for the
future, and China has ten times more
than her in population. Well, we
cannot say that. Take for instance
the assassination of Ito by the Ko
rean martyr. China for 1000 years
has not had such a man who died
for the welfare of others. We can
only act for others privately as dogs
