LAST WEEK IN CHINA.

Marking was captured by the
Chinese sometime between last week
and this week. 1t wasn't really a cap
ture. but Il fade-away. That was the
last point where the Manchus held
control. and, inasmuch as the Chinese
had hitherto shown little mercy to
captured Manchus. it was believed
that the struggle would be bitter and
the final slaughter great. Nothing
of the sort. however, occurred. The
final chapter was merely n march in
and a march nut . Probably the rank
and file of the Manchus forces pre-
ferred to accept the inevitable with
out fighting rather than with fight
ing. They judged it would he better
for their. health. Their disappearance
practically removes that last traces
OF Manchu military authority. There
are a few Manchu regiments left in
the neighhorhood of Pcking. but these
are detached bodies, without a foot
hold m without leadership. There
are also some so-ralled i%mpcrialist
forces at Hankow-. but these are low
taking their orders from Yuan Shi
Eai. In a military sense. China is at
last really in the hands of the Chi
ncsc.
In a political sense, too. the Chinese
have made n decided gain by the
resignation Of Prince Chun. II was
not so much the actual power of this
man that was in their way, for he
has had no power to speak Of since
Yuan Shi Kai reached Picking. But
as regent of the empire and guardian
of the throne. both his titles and his
possible functions were an element
of division among the Chinese hem
selves. If Yuan Shi kai's idea Of a
constitutional monarchy is finally to
prevail-and most impartial students
of the subject think this the safest
solution for C~hina-and if the titular
head of this new system is to be the
boy emperor, obviously those Chinese
who. have started out with the idea
of having Il republic would accent
the constitutional idea more readily
with only n Manchu boy in it than
they would with one or more Manchu
men in it. The resignation Of Prince
Chun as regent has brought the Man
III element in the old government
down to the ~five-year-old boy en-
peror and his mother. Nothing else
is left; and as DON as the natural
sagacity Of the Chinese begins to op-
crate 1t may be that they will not
distrust their own ability to handle
n woman II a boy. Yuan Shi kai
has linked one Of his own tried
friends with a Manchu prince in the
guardianship Of the throne, so that
he now has the power to change the
educationa training Of the boy m
peror in any way he pleases. All of
this has been made possible by the
resignation of Prince Chun, n It
may be that the way has thus been
cleared for a final settlement which
Will satisfy the better Judgment of
the Chinese people.

inces agree to a constitutional mon
archy. Canton is the capital town
of kwangtung. and Canton has its
W reputation for defiant talk that
as often as otherwise has come to
nothing. There are eighteen prov
inces in China, and we have no doubt
that i'll the end they will all remain
under II central government. Four
of these provinces that are strong
for Il republic touch the sea coast.
and no doubt their politicians are
faster thinkers and more fluent speak
ers than those who represent the
northern aud western provinces. The
main need of China just now, how
ever. is to think soundly and make
prudent decisions. WI Ting Fang had
an original preference for a limited
monarchy. although he is now a fig
ure in the republican group: and
when all of China is able to speak
deliberately. it would be neither SUR
prising nor inconsistent for him to re-
cur to his first Judgment. In all of
these provinces where the desire for
a republic prevails there must be a
considerable minority who doubt the
wisdom of experimenting with that
difficult form Of government.
Yuan Shi IA appears to be working
in his slow and m%ethodical manner
to clear out of the way all Of the
distractions which would interfere
with the authoritative expression of
this more deliberate Judgment. We
should say hat his ann Is to unite
the conservative Chinese upon the
most advanced government lines that
promise to be workable. \ consti-
tutional monarchy affords abundant
room for the same political activity
as IL republic. but at the same time.
and for those minds that are sus-
ceptihlc to il. continues the tradition
of Il permanent central executive au-
thority that keeps public order in
hand for all parties and all factions.
As to a Manchu for the titular head.
if he is a mere boy. and with
only his mother left as an official
dignitary. this is a question. We do
not know whether the Chinese have
any princes left: hut IL could be
found, of clear descent from an an
cient Chinese family. the los ar
objection to 4 constitutional
would disappear.

FOR CENSURING GIRL

Being a busy mother I find but little

alone in extending sympathy to that un-
fortunate girl, Beulah Binford. We know
she has sinned, but who more so than
the mother that bore her? Her first
downward step was taken at the tender
age of twelve, when but a mere child.
She is still only a child in years, but
a matured woman in experience What
are the many noble institutions for, only
for such girls. and had that mother
done her duty 10 her child when she
found the downward course she was
pursuing she would have placed her in
one of them where she would have been
kept out OF harms way, and today she
may have been a good Christian girl in
stead of being mixed up in one of the
most horrible tragedies that has ever
been forced upon us. What is she to-
day? a poor downtrodden outcast that
the sO-called Christian people OF the
United States condemn. Where is the
Christianity? Even the ministers in the
pulpit censure her-the very ones that

TIME TO ABOLISH
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
Seeing in your issue of September y
an article entitled, Thine TO Abolish
Capital Punishment" am impelled to
say that I fully agree with the writer
thereof. and will, in as few words as
possible, give an additional reason
which to ME seems patent, and which
from my standpoint should offer a very
strong argument in favor of abolishing
capital punishment
The advocates of capital punishment
advocate II on the ground First, as
retribution for the act committed; sec
und, 1t Is an example and a deterrent
to others; third. II rtds the earth OF
those who are always ready to prey
upon humanity. and hence II reduces
the tendency in that direction. But,
how few are those who take the view
that capital punishment only destroys
the physical life: that n never-ending
life follows physical death; that the
by clairvoyant sight and theN inter-
course which the psychic has undoubt-
edly had with the spirit world, shows
that the life entered upon when NOR
tality ends is identical with the life
lived here on earth, and that evil, as
well as good, spirits, under certain con-
ditions, have power to influence NOR
tails. Hence, they can and do obsess
them. using their influence to lead those
over whom they can exert their infiu-
ence to become criminals like them
selves. This has been so fully demon
strated by exhaustive investigation of
psychic influences that the above propo-

to conclude that capital punishment,

little to trace into other superior texts;

is IL they took socialism and matrimony

for themi There has been too much
of this business of waiting for the
court to determine political and eco
nomic questions for us. The courts
have no business with these. They
should be determined by legislature,
representing the people, and deter
mined as the people want them deter
mined.
Two or three years ago an eminent
publicist created hullaballoo by de-
claring that the country needed ac-
curateiy to understand "the economic
mind" of the Supreme Court. 1t was
widely retorted that the Supreme Court
had no business with an economic
mind; it ought to have legal one.
But, in truth, tine courts are not al
together to blame for usurping the de-
termination of economic and political
politics. When Congress SO palpably
lodges its responsibilities as it did in
writing the vague and unguarded
clauses of the Sherman act, somebody
must do the rest; the courts have al
ways been willing to do it.
An era of intelligent, sincere, and
reasonable criticism of the relation the
courts have come ITO sustain to
our governmental mechanism would
produce vast benefits to this country.
First of all, people must understand
that it is neither treason, atheism, nor
insanity to have an opinion about the
courts, or about their decisions; it is
not contempt of court or criminal reck-
lessness to express that opinion.
There is widespread feeling that our
Federal courts have become more domi-
mating and engrossing than they should
be. The difficulty seems to be insti-
tutional. We will not locate it and
find the remedy till we have discussed
the problem, frankly and freely. The
governors conference has opened the
discussion in way that assures it will
not be suppressed until some improve
ments are secured.
