The Chinese Republic.

Adachi Kinnasuke, japanese
writer of ability and the first cit
izen of Japan to be given the posi-
ton of literary editor on the staff of
an American newspaper, has written
a very instructive article for the
last issue of 1.-THE North American
Review under the title of Can The
Chinese Republic Endure?" 1t con-
tains SO much information American
people should know that we
reproduce some facts for our read
ers. He states China has been for
ages the home of the most democrat
ic race in Asia" Over 1000 years
before Christ they chose their en-
perors from the ranks of the people
and have had that as their ideal
ever since. Despite the long rule of
despots in that country the people
have practiced self government and
majority rule through organization
of trade guilds and unions which
have dispensed justice between man
and man and enforced policy of
business honesty that gives China
the highest credit in financial circles
of any nation in the world. The
guild settles the financial disputes
between the creditor and debtor and
the creditor knows that every just
debt will be paid.
With this training and established
reputation for honesty the Chinese
republic has come into existence
under favorable circumstances and
seems to be equipped with the abili-
ty and character that will make it
permanent. The civilized world can
look to the future of China with
pride and confidence.
