After forty-five years of servlet
marked by unwavering fidelity, Sir Rob­
ert Hart, the inspector general of the
Imperial Chinese maritime customs, has
sailed for Europe on a leave of absence,
if at the end of the year he does not
return to China, his successor will be
appointed. In any case, owing to a re­
construction of the customs service, Sir
Ro.'iert Hart's official career is regarded
as virtually ended. The work he has
done Is remarkable. Under him, for the
first time, a Chinese government de­
partment became not only efficient but
absolitely free from corruption. I>ur-
ing his term of office the Imports r< se
from twenty million pounds to sixty­
seven million pounds. The career of
Sir Robert Hart Is only one item in
the great debt which the East owes to
the West, and especially to England.
One could not estimate in dollars and
cents the value of the work In Egypt
of Lord Cromer, or of Sir Andrew
Clarke and Sir Frank Bwettenham in
the Straits Settlements and the Malay
Peninsula, or the long line of governors-
general of India, from Clive and War­
ren Hastings down to Lord Curzon. Al­
most always their work has been car­
ried on against native opposition and
intrigue, In the face of active enmity
or surrounded by cold hostility; and it
is always thankless. When Sir Robert
Hart sailed from Peking, the largest
International gathering ever seen there
was assembled to bid him farewell; but
among the crowd there was hardly a
representative of the nation which he
had served so long. Something of this
great work and this fine spirit of ser­
vice marks the career of Mr. Taft, the
real creator of government In the Phil­
ippines. and that work has been ham­
pered not only by the native opposition,
which was to be expected, but by dis­
trust and aspersion nt home. Clearing
the ground for the establishment of civ­
ilized government is work that involves
suffering, frequently if not always
works some injustices, and Is some­
times accompanied by cruelty; but the
Anglo-Saxon race may well be proud
of Its constructive work throughout the
world. Wherever It has gone, democ­
racy, too, has marched; and a greater
degree of freedom for the common peo­
ple has resulted.

When President Roosevelt retires from offle? he says he will go to Africa
to make his strenuous personality felt among the big game of that conti­
nent. He announces that It Is his ambition to secure with his own rifle a
specimen of each specks of Africa's big fauna. This is an ambitious project
and will be difficult to carry out.
Famous hunters have gone to the small territory where the okapi browses
In the swamps in the darkness and hides In dense thickets In the hours of day­
light, but very few have been so fortunate as to bag one of these elusive
animals.
Is the President sanguine that he will bring home the skin of a white
rhinoceros? The fact that one was killed recently was thought worth telo-
graphing all over the world. Less than a century ago the white rhinoceros
was living in large numbers from South Africa to the Sahara, but decades
now elapse without one being killed.
There Is not a spe-lmen of white rhinoceros in many of the largest inu-
seu ms. If Mr. Roosevelt can bring his specimen home alive it will be worth
a small fortune to him.
We have much to learn yet about many of the Important animals of
Africa. Doubtless there are not a few of which we have never heard.
A sensation was caused in recent years by the discovery of the okapi, a
beautiful animal with some of the physical characteristics both of the horse
and giraffe. When Boyd Alexander crossed Nigeria and the Sudan between
the Niger and the Nile, three years ago, he discovered eighteen specimens of
mammalia that were new to science. Schillings, in the overhunted regions
of British and German East Africa, has found several species unknown tm
he brought them to light. There will be more such discoveries.
Mr. Roosevelt proposes to bunt in the remarkable game country of the
British East Africa protectorate, from Mombassa to Uganda. In spite of the
frightful slaughter in this region before the game laws went Into force, It is
still one of the most wonderful fields of great game in the world.
