on October 10. 1911. the great
revolution against the Manchu
nonarchial rule. which had en-
dured nearly three centuries.
broke out at Wuchang under the
leadership OF General Ii Yuan
hung. Both this event and the
place where II occurred were very
important. because Wuchang is
IN the center of China and com
mands an exceedingly important
strategical position in the heart
or the eighteen provinces The
outbreak was also important In
Its leadership. because General LII.
as an Influential military officer.
controlled at that time a large
number OF newly-trained soldiers
and held both the confidence OF
the army and the public. The
final success OF the revolution was
mainly due to these facts.
The Wuchang outbreak was i'm
mediately followed by China's
declaration OF independence sup
ported by majority OF the prov
inces. especially those in the south
OF China. This compelled the alb
dication and dethronement of the
Manchu emperor So that is why
everybody today i'm China is cele-
brating Wuchang Day.

means at least three things. To
the Chinese IL means that, after
go years OF foreign rule. the
people of China have reclaimed
their sovereignty from the Man
chus, their former conquerors:
and also after 1000 years of alb
solute monarchial government.
China has resumed both the name
and the station OF republic re-
storation OF the democratic gov
eminent which existed once in the
old days, the times of Emperors
hau and Shun. To the world Il
means that one-fourth of the whole
population of the world on that
day freed themselves from an op-
pressive foreign rule and began TO
strive to govern themselves &C
cordfng to the best modern ideas
OF government To the United
States especially IL means that
American ideas OF government
have. for the first time. found
their way on to the mainland of
Asia. and that the place OF being
the largest republic in the world
has been taken away from the
American commonwealth by the
Republic of China. which en-
braces five different races and
100000. 900 people.
Now. the establishment OF a gov
eminent for the people is very far
from being an innovation in China.

A DEMOLISHED DEFENSE.

Morgantown Post-Chronicle
The Well lawyers have based all
their explanations and apologies lor
the sinister features OF the accusa-
tons brought against their client on
the improved assumption that the
oiter OF large sums OF money TO Com
missioners Bronson and Ogden were
intended merely TO induce them TO
tel the truth The opinion handed
down by the supreme court demol-
ishes that bit of legalistic sophistry.
even in the improbable event that the
assumption made by the Well attor-
neys should turn out to be well found
ed.
The attorney for the gas trust was
trying to induce the commissioners by
a promise OF large sums Of money TO
give evidence which was to take NH
lions OF dollars out OF the pockets OF
gas consumers in West Virginia cities
and place those millions In the bank
account OF Mr.. Wells client. He was
Trying TO hire the commissioners TO
betray the interests of the people
whom II was their sworn duty to pro
tect from the threatened extortion OF
the gas company. The theory that
he was dealing with them as indi-
Ylduals and not as state officials. the
court holds to be utterly untenaDle
Mr. Well must now face the lower
court with a badly dishrured defense.
His FIRST line has been already pretty
well shot TO pieces by the high eI-
plosiye heavy projectiles hurled from
the bench OF the supreme court.

In olden times. when the Emperor
Shao was on the throne he chose
as his successor a simple man
who for a very long TINE had been
a farmer. and who became known
and loved as the Emperor Shen.
The successor OF the Emperor
Shen was also chosen by him out
side OF his own family from among
the ablest young men of the China
OF his day. The throne at that
time, you see. was not hereditary.
The theory of government of Shao
and Shen was that IL was the peo-
pie who are divine. The ear
or eye" OF the heavens is repre-
sented by the ears" and ewes"
OF the people. The heavens can
not hear, except through the peo-
ule; the heavens cannot see, ex-
cept through the people. The first
and most important duty of the
ruler is to see to IL that whom
ever the people like best shall be
the next ruler. For the country
Is owned by the people who in
habit II. rather than BY the person
who rules over IL for the tine
being. The presence OF these an
cient ideas sufficiently explains
how the Chinese people, having
been called the most conservative
among mankind. so readily accept
ed the principle of republican gov
ernment-accepted this principle
without any hesitation at all.
over against this fact. however.
some important distinctions should
be kept in mind between the Chi
nese old ideas and the republican
principles of our own time. In
the days OF Shao and Shen the en-
peror selected his own successor
who might and might not be his
son. Although at first the people
were permitted TO express their
yea and nay" regarding the
new emperor by some sort of
declaration. yet experience proved
that this was not satisfactory.
not a safe system to prevent an
INSCRIPTIONS person from Selling
and holding power. In short, at
that time the source OF democracy
was from above and not from be-
low, and therefore II was not per-
manent. Consequently, Il is to be
noticed that while those ancient
theories of government have
helped the Chinese people to es-
tablish the present republic, at the
same time those very ideas might
initiate against the success OF the
new government. In order TO up-
hold the new republic of China,
TO help China through her present
troubles and struggles. the Ameri-
can people are in duty bound, in
loyalty TO their own ideals. as well
as for the betterment of the world,
TO encourage and assist Young
China's republicans of what was
the Middle Kingdom.
