THEODORE KOOSEVELT,
Of New York;
ARE MISSIONS HARMFUL?
There are a good many shallow-brain
ed Americans who will agree with the
views, published in another column of
today's Astorian, of the bigoted heath
en w ho represents the Chinese govern
. ment at San Francisco. He says:
There are 500.000,000 of my country
men. They are Increasing In vast num
bers. They are quick to learn and
taking these facts Into consideration.
what would happen if the white race
succeeded in forcing Its clvllixation and
Its knowledge upon them? They will
be able to manufacture guns and all
the engine of warfare with equal fa
cility. Under these circumstances
Christianity might triumph and again
It might not."
The fact Is that China is already wak
ing up and. as the allied forces have
learned by the evidence of their own
senses. Is well provided with the mu
nitions of war which the mercenary
traders and manufacturers of Europe
and America have been and are ready
to supply at high rates for the slaugh
ter of their own countrymen. The
greed of the great manufacturing na
tions for trade has been for decades
opening up China and supplying it with
the means of holding the nations of
Europe at bay.
The horrors of arson, rapine, fiendish
torture and massacre which have
characterized the Boxer movement are
solely due to the fact that missionary
effort has not kept pace with the
movements of trade. A careful survey
of the situation can bring no other
conclusion. Those who have been won
ever to Christ!antty by the faithful la
bor of Its teachers are the sole reli
ance of the hunted whites in the in
terior of China, not only of the mis
sionaries, but of the traders themselves,
and stories of their brave defense of
their white fellow-Christians are al
ready published. The Christian Chi
nese are the greatest sufferers from the
Boxer outrages, because of their
known sympathies with the foreigners.
It is only because their numbers are
so small that the Boxer movement has
assumed such proportions. Is there
anv assailant of missionary work so
blinded by his prejudices that he be.
lieves that the now-existing serious
state of affairs could have come to pass
had a majority of the Chinese, In-
rtead of a small minority, been convert
ed to Christianity?
British rule over India depends for
its very existence upon the spread of
Christianity among the Hindu and
Mohammedan population of that great
empire. The enforcement of laws nec
tary for the public health and safe
ty continually causes a clash with na
tive religious prejudices. The English
government thoroughly understands the
situation and is an active supporter
of the mission stations, which receive
grants from the government treasury.
The "yellow peril" is no figment of
a perfervld Imagination. It threatens
the very existence of our civilization
and all which that vital term conveys.
The only safety of the white races and
the only hope for the perpetuity of our
Institutions He In the Chrlstlanizatlon
of the races which the mad hunt for
trade are bringing Into intercourse with
the Christian world.
THE RACE PROBLEM.
Of all the vital questions which con
front the American people none bears
so ominous an asp:-ct as the negro
problem, The apparent Browing bru
tality of the Aimrlean negro and the
unquestionable rapid growth of prcju
dice against him, resulting In radical
antl-ncgro legislation and In the con
tinual Increase In frequency and vio
lence of public uprisings, portend an
Inevitable future climax.
We, of the North, In our supercilious
egotism, expect lynching bees In New
Orleans and other centers of anti-imperialistic
Democracy, but when Inno
cent negroes are hauled from street
cars by an angry mob In New York
City, and with difficulty rescued by
a squad of police, with ropes already
fastened about their ncks and after
having their fads perforated by hat
pins In the handsof representative ladles
of our metropolis, simply because they
are black and men of the same color
have committed brutal outrages re
cently In the same city, then we may
well begin to Inquire whether we are
a civilised or even a sane people.
The extreme nervous temperament of
the American people is responsible for
these Inhuman outrages, which differ
from the crAnes of the Boxers only In
that the former are the product
of the overwrought nerves of too-hlghly
strung organlxations and the latter the
product of cold-blooded, unrefined bar
barity. Strange It Is that results s
similar spring from sources so nntl
podal!
But such things could not happen
In a British community, not because
of superiority In the British character.
but because of a vast difference In tern
peranient. Where the Britisher has
settled among the darker races he is
ha,ted for the haughty Insolence of his
treatment of the natives, which differs
vastly from ,the easy-going familiarity
of the average American In times of
calmness. But the English are respec
tors of law. and the life of the native
of India under British rule Is as safe
as that of an Englishman, though he
receives me.ny a harsh word and blow
from his lordly master. Consequently
the English aje, as a rule, hated and
respected by the darker races among
whom they mingle, while the negro Is j
fast learning that we deserve neither
his regard nor his respect.
The Increase of desperate deeds of
crime by negroes who appear utterly
regardless of all laws, human or divine.
may well be in a large measure attri
buted to the bitter lessons we have
taught them. As consciousness that he
will receive Justice In the courts incul
cates In the mind of the Hindu respect
for law and order, may It not be that
the consciousness that there Is no Jus
tice in America for a negro embitters
him and leads him to commit serious
crime?
The whole race problem la one which
appears far from a solution; and, like.
all other deficiencies In public morals, j
the crime of the negro and the crime
i
of his assailant can only be prevented
by the mental and moral educution of
the individual members of both races.
That any system of education can re
move the American tendency to sense
less mob violence under great excite
ment Is extremely doubrful, necessitat
ing, as It would, the complete reorgan
ization of the common nervous tem
perament, or, whit would be equally
beneficial, the supply of an inexhausti
ble fund of self-control.
