 anything of Chinese history and conditions declared that the country was not ready to become republic. It had had no mail service until very recently It had had no press of any value with the exception of a few newspapers in a few of the larger cities. China had fought considerable wars without the populace in some of the important pre- vinces knowing that war was in progress. With the exception of a few returned students scattered over the country few Chinese knew anything about the outside world The vast majority had no concep- ton of any other government than mon archy. The provinces were governed by viceroys whose authority was the only authority which the public within their respective jurisdictions regarded seri- ously. It mattered little to the masses whether there was an Emperor or a. President in far-away Peking.
 The late developments in China show clearly that those who said the Chinese were not ready to adopt representative government were right, and that the dreamers who believed that a country with c,OO0,0O0 benighted inhabitants could be democratized by few battles and the outsing of reigning family were wrong.
 The people are reported as voting upon II. archie form of government. The elec- tions will amount, of course to nothing. They will be favorable, no doubt, to the plans of Yuan Shin Kai. The masses will know little, and care less, about what is done at the capital. Another revolution might follow the enthronement of Yuan because leaders might easily incite the people upon the issue that Yuan had done nothing more than usurp the throne from which the Manchu royal family had been pushed to make way for the sovereignty of the people. Some of the provinces the more enlightened ones-might actually and spontaneously resent Yuans usurpa- ton of the purple. Anything in the way of upheaval that can be imagined might occur. especially in view of Europe's preoccupation But there would be noth- ing like really national sentiment ex- pressed by the disturbance, for there is no national sentiment: no sense of na- tional existence. in China
 Yuan Shin Kai appears to many oh- servers as a mere plotter for power. Let us not be too sure that he is. His record up to this time-and he is one of the few Chinese who are known abroad. although he has not been abroad-has been one of consistent patriotism.

CARRANzA's GRATITUDE

From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
 John Lind, it seems, has gone to Mex ico to do some more listening. Dispatches from Eagle Pass report him as saying that Carranza is grateful to the United States. The news that Lind has been talking is more incredible than the re- port that Carranza appreciates past fla vors
 His appreciation, however, is of the kind that Rochefoucauld described in his two hundred and ninety eighth max i'm, which reads: '"rhe gratitude of most men is but secret desire of receiving greater benefits. v
