In the years of destruction, when

DR.. Sun, educated in Hawaii, the United
States, England and China, was responsible for
the overthrow of the backward Manchu dy-
nasty. He visioned a Chinese republic like
ours, criss-crossed with railways and dirt roads
which would open up his country to the civiliz-
ingrinfuence of the western world. He planned
schools, newspapers, rapid communications and
general raising of the standards of his people.
But certain powerful nations did not want
big, strong, modern China. And Sun s hopes
were frustrated. Made the first president Of
the new republic, he coded Office to Yuan Shih
K'ai, who tried to make himself emperor.
Yuan failed and died in shame. But ever since
then China has been in perpetual state of
civil war, province in arms against province,
with foreigners aiding in fomenting strife that
they might fish in the troubled waters,
Sun fought hard against all this. Making
Canton his capital, he set up South China
government and from there he never ceased
trying to bring China to her senses. In 1921
he was again elected president of all China, but
the powers refused to recognize him. They
chose instead to recognize the pitiful sham of
a government sitting vicious and powerless in
Pekin. w
Physically i'll Of cancer, tortured in soul
and in mind by the thought of all his shattered
dreams, Sun died in bitterness.
HIS passing leaves China the prey alike Of
her own child-like helplessness and the greed
Of foreign powers. Unselfshly he gave his life
for his country and we see none to take his
place.

revolver at his head and snapped

Firearms. particularly revolvers,

imagination they wade through
rivers of blood to perform great

But even reckless youths view
loaded weapons with respect--if
they know they are loaded-and
handle them circumspectly. They

Any pistol. whether loaded or
