of Turmoil in Future.
BY ELSIE MCCORMICK,
Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Now thai
President Ii Yuan-Hung has hastily
climbed down a rope ladder from the
bridge OF the Chinese ship of state
those interested III the Far East are
asking themselves why China cannot
keep president at least long eonugh
for him to get his picture on a post
age stamp. .,
Why Is it that the naturally peace
full: orderly and eminently sensible
Chinese people have made such Ia
mentable hash out of the repu blican
form of government? Under the
empire the mandarins of the eight.
cen provinces bowed in dignifteo
unity to the throne of the dragon,
under the republic the provincial
leaders are dragging each other about
by their political queues and agree
ing only in their spirit Of nonco-
operation with the central govern
ment.
Are Not Republicans.
The real kernel of the difficulty is
that Oriental peoples have no flair
for the republican form of govern
ment., The absolute monarch has
always been their special political
pet. This is because the Asiatic can
glorify a despotism with traditions
of boundless magnitude, but repub-'
lie leaves him cold.
Unlike his brother in the West, he
finds it difficult to wax sentimental
over the ship of state or the ballot
box or the freedom of the masses.
He needs a son of heaven to fire
his imagination and to inspire his
loyalty.
This lack of sentimental appeal
in the republic is undoubtedly one
of the chief reasons for it's weak
ness. Moreover, China achieved
1t too easily. If she had gone.
through the preliminary stages of
fighting inch by inch, for consti-
tutional rights, of defying a King
John or two on her plains of
Runnymede. of facing riots, exile,
and bloodshed in each step toward
a democratic form of government,
China would probably feel a semi
religious reverence for the repub-
hcan ideal.
But she hasn't and therefore she
doesn't. The republic has few mar
tyrs. It's form is distinctly non
Asiatic. 1t .abolishes a system that
harmonized heaven, the emperor.

In grandeur.
Attempts to graft the imperial
ideals and ceremonies on to the
present system have not been con
spicuously successful. Lacking the
status of the Son of Heaven, Yuan
Shi kai's pilgrimage to Pek-
ing's famous white marble altar
