UK World s Work tells us that
from 1SG2 to J 9 1 2 the area
under Kejiubllcan government
has Increased from S, 000. 000
square miles to more 'ban 22.000,-
000 an advance of 173 per cent In
half a century. Fifty years ago
there were 87.000,000 people under
Republican government, today there
are over 712,000,000.
When dealing with ideas as well
as forms there must be added to the
above figures those of the British
Islands and tho fmperlal Colonies.
There the people rule even more de
cisively than in various republics
stnjctly so called. It Is tcx.tho dem
ocratic impulse that the develop
ments in government are due.
Looking back on all these changes
may be remarket! that the.vt have
come about, not by sudden Invasion,
conquest, ajid the violent imposition
on subjected peoples of the repub
lican form, but by the slow permea
tion through theso bodies politic of
tha Ideas of popular rule.
Another point to bo remembered
s that not only the peoples, but
each and all clasBes of the people,
have acquiesced In the new forms.
Thus though reversion to earlier
monarchical, autocratic, or oligar
chic government has been often
threatened, efforts to forcibly restore
them have not succeeded.
To stop short of complete popular
rule has been both desired and at
tempted. But there is no real half
way house, that not enly promises
ut insures peace. When once jiop-
ular liberties have been gained they
cannot be wrested back from the
people who enjoy them. Russia is
the miserable exception, but for how
long no prophet can foresee.
One other point Is that constitu
tional forms, sacred though they be
from association with .the liberties
that they embodied, cannot be pro
tected from reconstructionor at least
reconsideration, by the same hands

A different Idea cornea from a let
ter of correction from S. Pollard, of
rhaotong. In Yunnan. West China
published In the laat Issue of the
London Nation.
Mr. M'ollard says that It If esti
mated that the fjireo provinces con-
atitutlng Manchhria, can. with
proper cultivation, sustain 200.000,
ooo of people. Now the population
la very r.pnrao. I.arge numbers of
Chinese farmers from the south are
now entering Mongolia, and are re
claiming long neglected lands. In
the weatern"and southwestern prov
inces of China proper there are also
immense tracts waiting for til
lage. There Is In those provinces an
Immense area suitable for cotton,
sugar, rice, and corn w ithout a single
Innubltant.
These statements of an eye wit
ness require his own explanation. By
virtue of the fertility of many dis
tricts a small area has supported
family after family. More rice, wheat
and other cereals were produced In
good harvests than the population
could consume. And there were no
I. i . . .
raiiiuaun, aim on tne canals no
motor boats or tow borts, to re
move the surplus. So there was
constant alternation between abund
ance and scarcity. Life ran in deep
grooves, with neither outlet nor ex
tension.
Like a huge beehive In spring
time, swarming time had'eome.
Young China brought from the
west new Ideas and outlets for life,
for skill and Industry in the mine.
the factory and the railroad. The
breath of that life moved on the
face of tho waters, and the nation
awoke.
This correspondent tells what he
has himself seen In many recent
journeys. He predicts, with the
return of peace and the establish
ment of the republic first, the spread
of the railroad in all directions,
then the opening up of mines of
coal, Iron ore and many other min
erals, and the wide extension of fac
tory Industries to which the Chinese
are specially called.
