LIVED IN DANGER OF POLITICAL
DOOM BECAUSE OF REVO- .

NEW ClAJ!i AliRYEL
Political Lieutenant to Sun Yet Sen
and Co-Worker With Secret Forces
In Spreading of Propaganda He
Comes to Chautauqua Tomorrow
Government Roads Develop. .
For 15-years during which period
the final propaganda that culminated
in the overthrow of the Manchu dyn-1
asty in China was spread and carried
to the rank and file of the 400,000,000
people of that great nation Ng Poon
Chew,, the famous Chinese statesman
and Journalist who is here to deliver
his noted lecture to the chautauqua to
morrow afternoon, lived in constant i
danger of death at the hands 'of the
emperor and his lieutenants. Hand
in hand with Sun Yet Sen the revolu
tionary : leader, and all the consulate
attaches practically, and every prin
cipal office holder of China, Dr. Ng
Poon Chew labored to spread the gos
pel of revolution and freedom until
last year the propoganda bore fruit.
The first revolutionary society, secret
of course, was formed six years after
the Manqhu dynasty assumed power in
China, to wit, in 1646. . Gradually it
spread, interestingly recited the noted
orator in an interview this morning,
until about 12 years ago when the
progressives received widespread Sup
port. 1 Every progressive wa s secret
ly a revolutionist and because the Man-
chus numbered but a million and had
no fewer men in their ranks who were
able and capable of holding office, the
consulates and magistrates which gov
erned the provinces and all other of
ficial offices rapidly filled up with
Chinese rather than Manchus, and
while the government was cognizant
to some extent of the revolutionary
spirit being fostered dared to do little
to stop it. Rapidly it grew until when
the time was ripe, Sun Yet Sen said
the word that overturned the Man
chus and established the republic. Now
progressives are developing the iron
,and coal industry, building railroads
on government owned lines and in ev
ery way spreading the new idea to the
schools and colleges.
"We have European hotels, though
expensive it is true, we have good
schools, the industries are being de
. . transDOrtation facilities
- ., . . . ,
are growing r.apidly,"
man this morning. Whereas for five
thousand years the people of China
could not travel from one province to
another, thev can now ride on trains.
We have 5000 miles of railroad in a;
country that is one and a half times
greater than the United States, ex
cluding AlaRka. They travel first
second and third class. The first and
second are convenient, the third mere
ly travel as live stock, having no seats.
"Morally China is ranked high. We
do not sanction restricted districts in
, any consideration.
"China is a nation of villages we
have no large cities in the occidental
sense of the word," continued the or
ator in the interview. "After a won
derful period of national history of
Industrial stagnation, China is grow
ing with a perfected parliament, new
schools, a growing army, modern idea'

to every prncipal part of the park
will be- turned on and the place will b
a mass of light indeed.
Little remains to be done but to
