American Influence in China.


Premier Yuan Shi Kai has proved
his distinction Of the strong man OF
China" by his ultimatum vetoing the
movement for a republic Immediately
and declaring for a limited monar-
chy. II is practically certain his
policy will prevail. II will undoubt-
edly be the best stopping point for the
present agitation, though in time
China is destined TO be a republic.
But It win be when its own develop
ment has brought 1t further along the
graduated scale that separates imper-
lalism from democracy. IL would be
as bad for the principles of demoe-
racy as for China's immediate vel
fare for the transition to be precipi-
tated. 1t takes time after the process
is begun to make the oldest OF ultra
Imperialism over into a republic. It is
quite likely, therefore, that America
will unite with England and other
leading powers in persuading China
to get off it's train of evolution at
this halfway station OF limited mon
archy, to resume its journey later.
When democracy does como to
China, it will be due largely to Amer
lean influence. BY a slow process
OF education, we have done much to
arouse China from its centuries-old
lethargy and infuse into its people a
new energy and vision. Our mission
aries, our diplomats, our commercial
agents and our travellers have all
helped in this work of education, In
setting object lessons before the
Chinese. II is said that the Chinese
are the best OF imitators, that the
way to teach them how to do a thing
is to do that thing for them. This
has been our system. Every time we
as a government have rubbed elbows
with China, we have tended to ele-
vate that nation, as, for instance, In
the case of the remission of the Boxer
indemnities When the final accounts
are cast up, that stroke OF John Hay
diplomacy will have to be reckoned
as pivotal in the results. What leaven
of democracy American-educated Chi
nese youth are today carrying back to
their country is not for this genera
tion to estimate. We have inculcated,
then, the principles of democracy in
the Chinese bosom by living those
principles, and while he is not yet
ready to embrace It fully, he will be
some day. Y7ATF

"The Scandal Of Lawless Law. y

Carl Snyder in Golfers uses this
caption on which to preach a power.
ful sermon on "The utter anarchy OF
the administration of justice in the
United States" He proceeds from
these two salient points:
1. Can he (any mani go 10 a lawyer in
the average cases and obtain an honest
opinion upon which he may rely as to
what is tho iaw7
2. Can ne go TO the courts and, without
undue delay and without rulnous cost,
obtain justice7
The writer then declares:
! believe no one with an open mind will
review the decisions Of our multitudes OF
courts. who viii follow a sufficient num-
Der Of trials to their issue. can answer
these two questions otherwise than with
a flat no.
But It may be said that both Col
lier's and Mr.. Snyder are disposed to
take a radical view OF such subjects
and that there is already too much
fault findlng with our courts and our
lawyers. Then turn from this "radi.
cal' view and take the highest on
cial view obtainable in this land, that
of President Taft, himself, which Col
lier's also quotes. President Taft, a
lawyer, a former Judge and the en-
bodiment of safe and sane criticism,
says:
II we are asked In what respect we
have fallen faTthest from our IDEAL con-
ditions in our whole government, think
we would be justified in answering, In
spite OF the glaring defects OF our
municipal government. tSslt It is our fail
ure to secure expedition and thoroughness
in the enforcement OF public and private
rights in our courts.
This is as severe sentence as could
be passed upon the weakness of our
system OF so-called justice. Is It not
time for the whole American people
to awake on this subject on which
they have slept so longg The safety
OF their nation demands II.

Renublioans and Pensions.

The record OF the republican party
on the matter Of pensions for the old
soldiers is one OF it's proudest ex.
hibits. From the time Lincoln issued
his call for volunteer soldiers fifty
years ago, for the purpose Of putting
down the rebellion, to the present
day, the republican party has shown
that It appreciates the sacrifice made
by those patriotic men.
When the Sherwood pension bill
was passed by the house OF repre-
sentatives few days ago, II was
heralded as a democratic measure. A
little analysis of the vote will show
the falsity OF this claim. The dem
ocrats are in the majority in the
house. and yet the roll call discloses
the fact that 132 republicans were
recorded in favor OF the bill and only
ninety-seven democrats. The repub-
licans furnished 5S per cent OF the
votes for the bill; the democrats AZ
per cent. OF all the republicans in
the house so per cent voted for the
bill, and only AZ per cent of the dem
ocrats. The republicans, with only
42 per cent OF the membership OF
the house, furnished So per cent of
the votes for the bill. The democrats,
with 5S per cent OF the house mem
bership, furnished but AZ per cent OF
the votes for the bill
This comparison shows most con-
clusively the attitude Of the two great
parties towards the old soldiers of the
country. The veterans OF today, who
we're the boys of 81, must still turn,
as they did then, TO the republican
party when they seek relief from con-
ditions imposed by old age and
natural consequences OF the hard
ships and privations they bore while
they we're following Old Glory across
the southern fields facing embattled
democracy, arrayed against them
then. just as they meet II today in
the halls of congress.

The wagons full of merchandise
And the heart full of desires.
The shops are full OF bargains,
The counters full OF fads,
The windows full of pretty things
And the papers full of ads.
The arms are full of bundles,
The feet are full of speed,
The head Is full of planning
And some folks are full OF need.
Mail cars are full of packages
They're most too full to rum;
Grownups are full of secrets
And kidlets full of fun.
The land is full OF hustle
From the Arctic to the isthmus
And every heart is full OF JOY
For the air is full of Christmas.
