Our old friend, WI Ting-Fang, is
the most cosmopolitan of Cinnamon.
He out-Yankeed the Yankees when
over there, and if sent to the court
of St. James would talk the smartest
dialect of the smartest set in Lon
don. For Mr. WI is one of the smart
est men on earth.
He asks a mighty interesting ques-
ton in the interview he accorded to
Mr.. Edwin ]. Dingle. LET us once
get our masses in China educated as
Americans are educated, and China,
now that she has dropped the fetters
Of royalty, will become the greatest
of the nations of the earth-yes, even
greater than the United States!''
A republic of 30O,000,000 people
may be no better off and no greater
in all that makes up the true grand
eur of nation than one of infinitely
smaller proportions How can the
Chinese republic be better or greater
as a nation than the Chinese empire?
By one way only-more individual
plenty, and consequently more gen
eral happiness.
Unless the Chinese change their
ways they will be as miserable under
the republic as they have ever been.
They are forever afraid of famine, or
suffering it. The republic has no.
recipe for curing famine.
A recipe may be found, to be sure.
Engineering works may be built for
the reclamation of great areas of
lands now subject to floods. The
Chinese coal mines may become the
fuel depot of the world. The repub-
lie may find water power which will
make labor more efficient. Thus a
living for millions might be found for
millions more than now inhabit the
Flowery Republic.

AS MISERABLE UNDER REPUBLIC AS EVER"


thing they need most to copy they
have not imitated-the low Western
birthrate. So long as their present
multiplication continues poverty will
continue; and so long as poverty per-
sists, education is only dream.
WI Ting-Fang speaks of time
when all Chinese will be as well edu-
Gated as Americans. He must give
the boys and girls time to study or
they can never become educated. He
must give them prosperity so that
they may think of something else be-
sides food and children or his educa-
ton will do no good.
There is a lesson in this for all ma
tions. Enlightenment, education,
prosperity-all these are easy to'the
enlightened, educated and prosperous
people. But general and grinding
poverty like that of China is self
perpetuating. Our only hope for our
own democracy is that our masses
may never complete their descent in
to that gulf. China may climb out of
it,; but if she does-and we all hope
she may-her rising will be a miracle
the like of which this world has never
seen.
1t is easy to go down, hard to
come up.

Raise Ban on Arms and Permit Both

Mexico City, Aug 7,--President
Huerta's prestige among Mexicans
in the capital undoubtedly has been
STRENGTHENED by what is regarded as
his defiance OF the United States.
Even those who had been iukewarm
in support of his administration
profess admiration for the soldier
pres dent who dares to talk back at
Washington although all OF them do
not agree as to the wisdom of his
course.
Just what course Huerta will take
in event John Lind, President Will
sons personal representative con-
tinues his trip to Mexico is a matter
ior speculation. No Official declara-
ton has been made as to what his
course will be. 1t is assumed that
Lind might enter the republic at

without molestation since the ques-
ton of his credentials could not be
doubted Whether he shall be re-

They are combining their farm

by the girl, in a clean breast of the

Confronts Delicate Situation.

Washington, Aug. THE Ameri-
can government was confronted to-
night by what official Washington
regards as the most dcltcatr situa-
ton in it's relations with Mexico
that has yet developed since the
revolution.
The threatening rebulf from the
TTuerta administration to the mis-
sion of John Lind, personal repre-
sentative of President Wilson, en-
route to Mexico City drew from
Senator Bacon declaration that
the present situation was much
grayer than confronted the United
States when the Cuban question
was here.
President Wilson realizes the
gravity of the situation and mani
tested during the day his displeas-
ure at some members of the minor
ity party in congress telling callers
he believed certain Republicans
would make it hard for him to han
die the situation in peaceful man
ner.
The president ~ known to hold
the opinion that the Huera admin
istration would make a vital mistake
to refuse at this stage of the situa-
tion to receive an envoy from the
chief executive of the United
states.
Lind, it was pointed out, was pur-
posely sent without credentials SC
that he might feel free with persons
of all factions in Mexico who nigh!
inquire as to his views of the Wash.
ington administration.
Washington, Aug. THE result
of former Governor John Lind,

against the admission of arms int
that republic, and a fight to tn,

and the Huerta government. ac
