cat this time" says Murdoch,
"China undoubtedly stood In the
very forefront of civilization. She
was then the most powerful, the
most enlightened, the most pro-
gressive and the best governed
empire not only in Asia, but on
the face of the globe"
During the Sung dynasty (e60-
128O) this fine culture continued to
flourish, particularly in the realm
of painting, which now reached
its height. Then the multiplying
'rartars broke through the Great
Wall, and in 1914 Genghis Khan
captured Pekin.
For a century and half the
Mongols ruled China, sometimes
barbarously, sometimes well. Kub-
la Khan Q259-1294 held court
nagnificently; Marco Polo has de-
scribed his days and Coleridge
has described his dreams.N
Kubla sent the great Venetian
traveller back to the pope with a
request for 100 Christian teach
ers to help him tame the Mon
gols and Chinese. Gregory x sent
only two, whereupon Kubla re-
venged himself by welcoming the
influx of Buddhistic practices and
beliefs.
When Polo told the West Of

no one would believe him; they
accused him of braggadocio and
nicknamed him Marco Millions.

CHAPTER w

~ ONFUCIUS visioned the
Il coming of philosopher
- kings; and perhaps be-
cause, like Voltaire, he thought it
would be easier to educate one
than to educate all, he labored
for the ending Of feudal chaos and
the establishment Of a unified
central rule.
He knew that this, like every
form Of order, was dangerous to
liberty, but without ian all-per-
vading unity" there could be no
real order and no lasting liberty.
Only with such a central gov
eminent could the economic life
of the people he guided into pros
perity and their mental life into
intelligence and wisdom. Perhaps
the concentration of government
would be the only way of prevent
ing that natural concentration of
wealth which seems to lead by a
fatal cycle to periodical revolu-
tons. 1.-THE concentration of
wealth is the way to dispense the
people; the distribution of it
among them is the way to unite
the people"
(. Scholars tell us that Chinese
governments have repeatedly in
terfered to prevent the accumula-
ton of wealth in the hands Of a
diminishing minority.
THROUGH wealth would
1T come the means to univer-
sal education and through
this at last a civilization worthy
of man. THAT whereby man diff
fers from the lower animals is
little; most people throw it away"
To cherish that little and make
it grow in every soul should be
che highest ambition of any gov
eminent.
And now, like Plato; Confucius
sought a ruler who would permit
him to test his plans with prac-
tice. Most statesmen laughed at
him; these ideas were pretty on
paper, but in actual operation
they would be ruined by the in
evitabIe rascality of men. Con-
fucius waited patiently, and at
last, when he was 81, opportunity
came.
In sol B. c., century and
more before the execution of Soc
rates, we find Kung the governor
Of the city of Chung-tu. If we
may believe the Chinese histori-
ans, marvellous transformation
ensued in the manners of the
people" Confucius was promoted
to the difficult position of minis
ter of crime, in the Duchy of Lu
ri ERE, if anywhere, his ideas
III should have failed; but
LII again the historians assure
us: There was an end of crime.
Dishonesty and dissoluteness hide
their heads. Loyalty and good
faith became the characteristics of
the men, chastity and docility
those of the women. Kung was
the idol of the people" Alas,
were there ever such men, and
were there ever such women?
All went we'll till the Duke of
Lu violated the primary principle
of the Confucian rule that the
prince himself be what he would
wish his people to become. The
efforts of Confucius to strengthen
the central authority had led the
feudal barons to plot his fall.
With Chinese subtlety they used
the most delicate indirection; they
sent the Duke so lovely an assert

NEW YORK, February 10.-Prices

today. More interest was taken i'm

There was nothing, however. in the

the weakness in the copper market.

abated and this part of the list was

WHEAT PRICES RISE
AFTER EARLY DROP
Considerable Eastern Buying in
Evidence-Corn and Oats Fol-
low the Same Trend.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, February 10-Wheat
rallied quickly today from initial de.
clines that were associated with
larger shipments from Argentine and
from Russia. Selling pressure here,
however. had abated and considerable
Eastern buying was in evidence.
Starting unchanged to half cent off
wheat sagged a little more, but then
rose to above yesterdays finish. Corn
and oats swayed with wheat, corn
opening unchanged to II cent lower
and subsequently scoring gains. Pro
visions held steady.
In some quarters, more disposition
was shown by wheat traders to pay
attention to domestic new crop de-
velopmentS. For example, special
notice was taken of Indiana reports
that with entire disappearance of
snow throughout the State, wheat is
now fully exposed. 1t was pointed out
that under such circumstances a sud
den freeze may prove serious.
On the other hand, various trade
authorities contended that it is too
early yet to pass any positive opinion
on the home wheat crop outlook
Texas, however, the earliest State of
all, is known to have increased acre
age 25 per cent, and the country's
Winter crop taken as a whole has
plenty of moisture to start with.

CRIME WAVE CURE
. DISCUSSED BY TAT
Chief Justice Advocates Many
Reforms in Interview With
Golfers Writer.

Departing from the silence tradi.
tional with his office. chief Justice
Taft discusses proposed means for
comh3ttin the crime wave in an in
terview with Oliver r. Newman, for
mer District Commissioner. in the
current issue of Golfers Weekly.
Mr.. Taft declares it is the duty of
State Legislatures to curb crime and
lawlessness and he advocates many
reforms in judicial procedure neces-
sary to cope with these evils.
The Chief Justice. his interviewer
says. feels that the seriousness of the
crime situation and the need of ac-
ton Justify him in departing from
the tradition of silence which attaches
To the office of Chief Justice of the
United States.
Would Abolish Juries.
Justice Taft, according to the inter
view, favors the abolition of grand
Juries as we'll as police court juries.
and for the former would substitute
a system of informations by prescott
ing attorneys founded on investiga-
ton.
He would have these officials in
each county under the control of the
State attorneys general and in turn
have the State departments of jus
tice coordinate the activities of all
police officers Of the State. Each
State, the Chief Justice thinks. should
have a State detective service and a
State constabularY.
The State governments. the Chief
Justice is quoted as saying, have
largely avoided effort and expense in
the initial arrest and prosecution of
crime up to this time. They ought
now to assume duty in this regard. ,"
While constitutional rights of de-
PENDANTS should be preserved, the
Chief Justice is quoted as favoring
greater freedom for judges in advising
with and instructing juries without
danger of having that made grounds
for reversal.
One Appeal Sufficient.
For reducing the laws delays he
favors greater liberality in introduce
ton of evidence and greater discre-
ton on it's admissability SO that new
trials might not be granted on that
ground. In criminal cases, one appeal
under ordinary circumstances, the
Chief Justice believes sufficient, and
for prompt trials he advocates more
justices.
Paroles, Mr. Taft believes, have been
abused, and should be granted with
greater care, and he attacks soft"
Treatment for convicts. On that point.
his interviewer quotes the Chief JUS
tfce as saying:
1--WE ought to give criminals who are
Uonfined for years a place where they
may live in a wholesome way, but we
ought not to make our prisons a
refuge, whereby, through entertain
ments and efforts to reconcile prison
ers to their confinement, we give them
the impression that they are guests
of the people instead of persons under
severe discipline for punishment. The
first object of the punishment of crime
is to deter others"
