About the Chinese Boycott
- By William R. Stewart
SCARCEST has tha final algning by
the heads of tba realms of the
treaty of Portsmouth brought to
a cloae the war between Japan
and Manchuria before there has begun
the preliminary aklrmlahlng In a conteat
' for commerce In tha far east, which la
destined to ba In many respects without
' a parallel In the world's history. In thia
r struggle Japan trill again ba a principal,
but Instead of a single opponent ahe will
be confronted by tha United Btatee,
Great Britain, Germany. Russia, Franca,
and. In leaser measure, by other trading
' nations of Europe.
r As a market for foreign exploitation
China haa Increased in Importance dur
ing the past 10 years almost beyond
reckoning. With a population of 400.
000,000 persona, whoae purchasing power
probably has almoat doubled elnoe 18f,
It is little wonder that that country
now is focusing tha attention not only of
private merchants and manufacturers,
but also of tba governmenta of the lead
ing nations.
To consider the trade Interests of tha
United States alone. It Is certain that at
, tha preaent time tha outlook for expan
sion in the far east Is not promising.
The "open door," for which Japan went
to war with Russia, la for the moment
fairly well filled by tha expansive form
of tha Japanese tradesman, and when
his -American rival managee to squeese
: past him, ho Is met by tba handicap of
the exiatlng boycott on American wares
Whilo China as a nation may ba grate
, ful to the United Eta tea for tha atand
which the government took In tha nego
' tiatlons following he Boxer uprtalng,
and also for Secretary Hay's note to tha
powers on the preservation of tha tnteg
' rlty of tha Chinese empire, tha people,

Influenced by tha ever-preaent reminder
of the treatment of their race tn America
to protest against which It Is thst the
boycott was declared. Ia other words,
the governmental relations of China and

popular relatlona bad.
For a long Urns tha Individual China
man haa been ostracised by other peo-
pie. Ho la determined that thia shall
continue no longer. Tba treatment ac-
" corded tba Chlneee In America la well
known. But oven in China iteeir promi

have been subjected to Indlgnltlea by
Americana and Europeans with whom

haa been a aeriea of insufferable vtxa
, tlona which have turned from Americana
and Europeans tha heart of the China
man. , Tha Japanese have not been alow to
take advantage of Chlneee reaentment at
' thia treatment. The Japeneae under

True courage la a component part of
no many things that It is worth our
while to examine.
For Instance, no man can be truly a
gentleman If a coward. Ha may have
tha exterior marks of a gentleman the
veneering but at heart he lacks , He
lacks courage. -
There can be no auch thing as true
manliness, or true womanliness, if there
is lack of courage.
'Courage is tha first component of
character. ' v '
Courage Is the first essential of isue;
ceaaful buaineea life.
Courage la an essential In tha admin
istration of a household- the govern
ment of servants. If a miatreaa la cow
ardly, her servants quickly discover bet
weakness and trample upon her.
Courage makes the' difference be
tween the clergyman, " noble, devoted
and useful, and the mere time-server
equaled by any other country. Since
1(05 Japaneae trade with China haa been
trebled.
It is not to be Inferred from theae
facta that a Japaneae commercial' domi
nation of China la inevitable. Much more
capital than Japaneae . tmrchantnd
manufacturers are yet able to command,
and a far more highly organised manu
facturing syatem than at preaent exists
In Japan will ba' necessary, together
with years of effort, before the hermit
kingdom can hope for an unchallenged
supremacy in tha east.
- - Some of tha features of tha Japaneae
commercial advance on the mainland of
Aala . are auggeatlva. The colonisation
of Korea by Japaneae haaibeen -repeated
In Manohuiia on a large scale, Japaneae
civilians have been permitted to enter
tha country freely, and An-tang, rebg
wane Cheng. Mukden, Dalny and Nlu
Chwang have become populous Japaneae
elttea. - -
Foreign-trained Japanese ara becom
lng an Important factor In the profea
atonal situation of China. They are
often well trained moat of them are
either directly or Indirectly American-
trained and they will work for fees
which an American could not afford
to accept.
It Is Important to observe that for
eigners desirous of doing business In
China cannot afford to ignore the fact
that tha average Chinaman, whether or
flcial or merchant, considers himself
superior to tha American or European,
and It becomes therefore necessary to
acquire a knowledge of the language
and manners of the people. With auch
knowledge a foreigner., can cause an
entire change of sentiment In his lndt
vldual case, and carry through a busi
ness affair with an eaaa which la con-
splcuoualy lacking when an interpreter
Is required.
A knowledge of Chlneee money- and
of the ayatem of exohange la necessary
on the part of the foreigner doing buei
neaa in that country.
It la not reasonable to anticipate tha
same rapid development In weatern
methods in China which has attsnded
the history of Japan during recent years
If towno -other causa, tha different
temperament of tha race will prevent
It. .But It Is quits certain that China
haa entered upon tha task of internal
reform and tranaformatlon and that the
movement will not go backward. Japan
ese Influence la now on the aacendary tn
China, and as has bsen stated, this in flu
enco makes for a notabls Increase of
Japaneae trade as agalnat tha trade of
other countries.
Japaneae influence at Peking is pre
dominant, not only in diplomatic clrclee,
but sjao In educational, industrial and
commercial. China la being taught how
to pursue her naturally Innate mercan
tile .proellvltles by being Inspired with
a certain respect for the military spirit
without the obUgatlon to bear any of Its
burdens. - v
Secretary of State Root has entered
upon his duties with a big problem be
fore him. When his predecessor, Mr,
Hay, Interfered to check the European
powers In China ho had bur trade In
terests there very clearly In view. The
subject la oven more pressing now.
The loosening of Ruesla'a grasp upon
China will revolutionise conditions in
the orient, and If one of the most Im
portant market In the world Is to be
saved the- handicap to American trade
muat be removed. The Paclflo coast

Do you believe then that this Is all
there Is of humanity, do you think It
leavea nothing nobler, grander, more

in giving up his laat breath, give .noth
ing to the universe but ao many pounds
of flesh and bone, which become disin

tha body as-good a right to exist as
each one of the molecules of oxygen,
asota or iron? - And all . the aoula who
have lived, do they not stUl exist?
We have no reason to affirm that
man la formed solely of material ele
ments, and that the faculty of thinking
la only k property of his organisation.
We have, on the contrary, tha strongest
reaaona for believing that the soul Is an
Individual entity, and the force which
governa tha moleculea In organising the
living form of the human body.
What becomes of the Invisible and In
tangible moleculea which constitute our
body during life . They become part of
new bodiea. What becomes of the souls,
equally invisible end intangible? It is
reasonable to suppose that they alao

The time will surely come when we

A man may with impunity treat the
world-weary woman like a "big baby'
once in a great while, but ths unsophisti

Moreover, no man can prove his de
votion wholly by kisses and caresaes.
Any woman will care more for the

world and works for her than shs will
for ths lovesick creature who sits at
horns and acts foolish, while the world
rushes along without him.
Too little love is ths source of soma

could not defend the brutal treatment
meted out to them In Ruaala without
condemning hla government and his sov
