The Republican tlclirt In tin- strong

urea n sober cnnipalKn, which will
ba decided by the iudcrment, not the
hysteria, of the nation.
rpiIEJ lehnbllltatlon of the llcpubllcan
party and tho restoration of Its pros
tigs were assured the Instant Mr. Hughes
been mo the nominee for President.
Harmony was at ull times desirable,
but not tho kind of harmony which cornea
out of a shotgun or Is latent In a sand
bar;. Tho party would have been bled
white had Its convention acquiesced In
the surrender .of Its prerogatives to tho
"stand and deliver" of ft faction which wai
being; usod merely as a tool to compel tho
nomination of a matt whom tho ttcpub
llcnns did not want and who, according
to the calm Judgment of tho delegates,
could have done little more than exagger
ate the wreck which lie occasioned four
years ago. It was peculiarly Inspiring,
therefore, not only to Republicans, but to
tho country at largo, thut tho-conentlon.
after taking every proper step to heal
the breach made In the Inst campaign,
concluded nt last to perform Its functions
without coercion, and with unanimity
nominated a man who measures up to the
finest traditions of tho party and of the
nation.
IT HAS been Mr Roosevelt's privilege to
perform nn Important service to the
country In recent months by cmphustzlng
the necessity for pure and unadulterntdd
Americanism. When, however, ho
. plunged Into the ridiculous by wild talk
about the lssuo being whethor tho Presi
dent wns to be metoly u viceroy of n
foreign Power, tho sober second thought
Of men everywhere began to assert Itself,
and to the, delegates in particular It be
come at once obvious that a successful
campaign could not bo waged on any such
violent theories. The Impossibility of Mr.
Roosevelt became further apparent when
he-named as a compromise candidate Sen
ator Lodge. He must have known that
Mr. Lodge would not bo acceptable to tho
Progressives and his nomination by tho
Republicans would have been an acknowl
edgment of defeat; for, desplto his bril
liance and capacity. Mr Lodge boasts few
of the elements which make for popular
ity in a candidate. At Baltimore, In 1912,
Mr. Bryan, who was still hopeful that the
lightning would Btrlke him for the fourth
time, submitted a list of acceptable dark
horses. They were all so Impossible that
the Intents of Mr. Bryan were perfectly
plain. It was taken as a crowning evi
dence of the Nebraskan's selfishness, and
It will-bo a long lme before men can be
lieve that Mr. Roosevelt was sincere In
his proposal of Senator Lodge.
The infamous, efforts of a lot of Irre
sponsible factionalism to make It appear
that Mr, Hughes "was a defender ot
hyphenlsm failed, as they should have
failed, nnd the former Justice wastiulck
to nail the lie so Boon as relieved of
the muzzle of his office. It Is humiliat
ing that even In the heat of political
strife men should so forget themselves
as to question the patriotism of so emi
nent a citizen aa. Mr, Hughes, holding
bo Wen an office In the Government. The f
unfairness of the attacks on the Justice
was pointed out In these columns many
(toys ago, and we have no doubt that
the landslide In his favor was to no
small extent occasioned by the desire
of the delegates to stamp out that sort
of campaigning.
Wen who depend on employment fof their
dally- bread and butter, to hear Ihelr can
didate from tho outset express himself
as follows!
Our T"pnffttlon must be Industrial
and economic as well ns military. Our
" severest les.ls will come after the war

tif tho Ropubllcnn party to liavo vision.
nnd tho rsscntlnl thing in this campaign
nnd In tho Republican program Is the
maintenance poimnncntty of the purely

exists. Those embattled hosts aciois the

half so much ns they do with tho mills

CHINA DEFENDED" BY A CHINESE
To the Editor of Evening Lcilpcr:
Sir To those who nre constantly ob
servant of nnd Intelligently conversant
with tho current events In the Chlncso Em
pire. Dr. F. .T. Goodnow's Fpeech In the
conference held at Hamilton Court, ns re
ported In your paper Tuctday ccning. will
certnlnly sound strange, If not surprising.
To believe, as Doctor Goodnow Bays, that
"tho Chlncso people arc not tompenimontnl
y fitted to rule themselves" will be to be
misled. China's national llfo has covered
a historical record of nbout B000 years.
It was In 2205 B. C that tho monatchlc
dynasty was first established that Is, tho
Imperial throne, Instead ot going to a se
lected man, was handed down to royal do
scendents irrespcctlo of their fitness. But
the rulers In the long run could never have
succeeded In malntnlning their existence If
they ruled with nbsolutlsm. Tho peoplo
were seldom docile under oppressions. The
Chlncso history Is but a record of dynasties
and rebellions. For centuries China hns
enjoyed a system of government which has
In recent years been labeled by tho mis
nomer of "Absolute Monarchy." In the
olden days tho people were able to chooso
their rulers. Wo hnvo on record that cer
tain popular rulers attracted multitudes
to seek for them; their followers "looked
llko crowds hastening to market." Once
upon a time Confucius with his disciples
came across a woman weeping mournfully
because hor father-in-law had been killed
by a tiger In the village nnd then her
daughter and at laBt her son. Upon being
asked the reason of her not moving to nn
other place, she said, because there Is
here no oppressive government.'1 China's
love for freedom and her abiyty to rule
herself Is In no eenso less than those in the
othor nations of the world, Even up to tho
late dynasty the local Government was In
the hands of the people. They had voice
In the selection of their nfllclala known as
"elders and gentries ' by a system called
"village pick and country election." These
men are always standing behind the "dis
trict magistrate" to dictate his administra
tion and overpee his actions. Bven if the
humblest has purposely been wronged by
officials, he or she Is free to nppeal until
Justice Is obtained or the grievances are
removed.
The welfare of the people always com
mands the first consideration, hence we
have the saying; "The people Is the first
in Importance and the sovereign the last."
The rulers aro given to understand that
they muntWenerate the Heaven and fear
the people." It can be seen that the
Chinese people are democratic in eplrit.
They have only been stunted In growth dur
ing thebe many centuries by those selfish
rulers who use tho worn-out teachings of
sages to advance their Interests and thus
arrest the Intellectual development of the
people In order to achieve their own ends.
The fall of tho Manchu dynasty with the
rapid establlshmEnt of the republican
government has already shaken the mass
to consciousness and realization; and more
over the late reactionary movement to re
store monarchy Is another bolt from the
blue In the political horizon of their think
ing minds. Doctor Goodnow eald that
Chinas experiment with a republic was not
a success, and the nation would find itself
In the greatest confusion and difficulty to
elect a president .every few years. To
those who know how successfully the
Chinese people have establlahed republican
government and how readily they have
tried to save the cause as Boon as they
found they were cheated by tha reaction
ary agitators, the experiment is, and in
deed will still be, a success. The Chtnesa
may not know how to cope with the
hustling and bustling of the modern fast
moving world and may not be able to. make
platforms or conduct elections, but their
power of learning theBe things and many
more is ample, for they are consciously
Intelligent and pot blind as eavagea to the
things belonging to the civilized world. This
educative process will not take long, for
the mass of the people Is not so ignorant
as those would think whose eyes have
been blinded by the thrown dust.
The tradition-bound atmosphere of China,
ra.kes the structure of a republic uu
XmjiUiU, as Doctor Goodnow belUvna, au4
ho goes on to nssert that "It was com
mon to hear Chlncso statesmen quote pre
cedents moro than 2000 years old for their
acts of today." It Is no w'ondcr that every
race or nation hns traditions and customs
peculiar to herself. When nny Yankee
nowadays speaks of what Washington or
Lincoln has said or done as precedents he
will certainly bo cheered with applause,
nnd tho same Is true to hear the moral
promoters quote what old masters or
teachers have eald as good lessons for
living men.
"Virtually every Chlncso corporation
that was ever formed failed," thus Doctor
Goodnow told his audience. To measure
Chinese corporations with the snmo stand
ard as you do thoso organized by tho
moneylords or financial wizards of the
Occident Is unfair; but, however, up to
tho present new enterprises In China nre
gradually Increasing In a steady but sure
way. For years Chinese peoplo have been
known to bo honest In the business world.
Many old houses have their branches
stretched out Into every corner of tho Em
pire ; and in early days their banking sys
tem was tho only feasible process to work
out success. Their failure to catch up
with the marching onward business world
Is owing to lack of present-day knowledge
and to the lack of colossal capital to en
gage with tho predominant force of
mobilized dollars of today.
Doctor Goodnow ridicules the story" of a
man who was besieged by more than 80
relatives as soon as ho was elected. It is
Just as common in China that the relatives
are supposed to help "In raising him to
honor" as that tho political agents In this
country look to their candidates for "back
ing and pulling." The writer was told that
there are In ordinary times iJOOO political
venders In San Francisco alone. I sup-,
poso they will strike If they are not given
brend and butter. Nepotic experiments In
China aro largely due to the sterility of
economical activities. The day Is not very
remote when the Uternry class In China
will have other fields than tho political
arena alone for thorn to exploit. In fine,
the same thing Is going on In every coun
try under awerent names. Those who
finance their candidates, "to make a run"
In the campaign are not necessarily phil
anthropists. With the death of Yuan ShI-Kal, all
these agitations to restore monarchy will
soon die out. There may be little troubles
for China to face, but they will soon dis
appear. The destiny of every country Is
only in the hands of "the favorable, few"
who, in China, I am happy to perceive, aro
all conscious of her situation nnd will care
fully steer the ship of state to the desired
safoty. KUENUUA II, TU.
