THE PUBLIC FORUM
SOCIAL CONDITIONS. - In tn

Tribune of Dec. "a appears an edito-
rial entitled, Never Had a Chance"
In this article the editor Iaments the
condition which grew out of the
teaching of reformers, viz, that So
ciety, not the individual is to blame
for the wrongdoings of criminals.
This gOodie-goodie editor fears that
we have reached condition where
every person, instead of fighting
against obstacles, will lie down, give
up and blame society for whatever
wrongs he may commit.
"Our training" says the editor,
nowadays leads US inevitably to the
conclusion that we need not beat
down obstacles or break through
them. If we lie down before them
without making an effort and die in
our tracks that is all that is expected
of us. Is not this soft spot in our
democracy not only soft, but also
rotten?"
Poor, innocent editor! I wonder if
he is really so ignorant! Does he not
know that our present system of So
cial organization is so constituted as
to make an army of unemployed an
inevitable condition? Now, when
every Democratic politician loudly
halls the existing prosperity, hun
dreds of thousands are walking idly
about the city streets, exerting their
every effort to obtain employment
And, if perchance any one Of these
obtain employment, if will simply
mean that he has displaced the posi-
ton of some other poor working
man. Is it any wonder that some of
these will go wrong? The tragedy
lies not in that they blame society
for their misfortune, but in the fact |
that they think themselves worthless |
and therefore abandon all hope of |
ever doing any good and, as a result,
they resort to crime.
But this is not the worst society |

Tribune and often wondered if the

Yes, Mr.. Editor of the Tribune, So

committed by most criminals, and
this is far more lamentable-s

your wrongdoings.-Abe A. KIapman.
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-12-31

DOES HE KNOW?-It is quite an
another matter to assert a thing and
to know a thing. The party recent
ly writing about his knowledge that
Christ is in Chicago is merely a mat
ter of assertion. However, his sin
cerity needs not be doubted, though
his judgment and knowledge of the
biblical truths bearing upon that
question do not warrant that the
writer knows that such is the case.
For though the Christ may be here,
the writer does not claim that he
himself is the Christ. And, accord
ing to the biblical truths, it is, only
the Christ which can receive infor--
nation or revelation from the Father
regarding himself and his manifesto
ton. So when the writer tells about
that he has got the revelation from
the Father it does not bear out the
truth of the scriptures, and, of
course, such revelation can have no
real value.
Even so, the bible states that Eli
jah, the prophet, shall come before
the coming of the Christ, the Lord.
and prepare the way, so He, the
Christ, shall not come and smite the
earth with curse" (MaIachi iv. 81
The true Christ cannot yet have
arrived, according to the scriptures.

Elijah, the prophet has appeared on
earth. And when the true Christ, the
Lord, shall appear, the sun shall be

AMERICA 10 DEMAND
"OPEN DOOR IN CHINA
In NOTE TO JAPANESE
Wilson Cabinet Decides to
Insist That Obligations
of Root -Takahira Agree
ment of 1908 Be Fulfilled
by Toxic Government.
WASHINGTON, Feb. ..

WARRINGTON, Feb. %.
The demands recently made by the
Japanese Government upon China were
considered at yesterdays meeting Of
President Wilson and his Cabinet. The
result Of the meeting, II was said. was a
decision 70 send note to Japan making
representations, based ON the obligations
OF the United States Government under
its policy OF "the open door" for China
as enunciated by Secretary Hay in 1900
and on the understanding reached be-
tween the Japanese ana United states
Governments In the Root-Takahlra ex-
change OF notes in 1908.
II was also learned that the British
Government had become interested In the
situation growing out of the presentation
OF Japan's demands, the negotiations for
which began late In January, and which
had for their object the determination OF
the status of Japan's future relations
with China and a decision of questions
connected with Chlnas future develop
mont There was belief here that Great
Britain as the ally OF Japan would bring
strong influence to bear upon the Toxic
Government
At the Cabinet meeting the text of tho
original 21 demands of Japan was before
the members, as was also the memoran-
dun handed to the legations of the
United States. Great Britain France and
Russia, and which is understood TO have
contained only II demands. The original
demands are regarded as violating tho
principle of the open door and the in
tegrity of China They were for special
commercial privileges for the Japanese In
Manchurla. East Mongolia and for spe-
cial control by Japan of administrative
affairs in China.
If insisted upon the demands would in-
fringe on the agreement reached between
the United States and China in notes ex-
changed November 80, 1908, regarding,their
policy I'm the Far East. This agreement
was the result of negotiations between
Secretary of State Root and Baron *
Talahira, then Japanese Ambassador at
Washington. 1t declared that "the policy
of both Governments, uninfiuenced by any
aggressive tendencies, Is directed to the
maintenance of the existing status quo in
the Far East" and to the defense for
the people of the equal opportunity for
commerce and industry in China.
1t was further agreed ito preserve the
common interest OF all Powers In China
by supporting by all pacific means al
their disposal the Independence and In
| tegrity of China"
