The Execution of Chan Ting- heung.
As wo expected the affair is causing muon discussion and arousing a good deal of fooling amongst the Cantonese. The oxsoution is described by moro- than one
as an act of great injustice. At a recent gathering of the Provincial Assembly the case, came up for discussion and some strong thinga ware said, It was pointed out that at the prosent moment
there is до ovidonca of corious danger. Further, the examination of the man was not conducted in accord- ance with the rules governing public courts. It was further a cause of great aggravation that thore should have been any excou“. tion of oneditorat all. Such notion is ragarded as an not of cruelty consistent only with old world barbarism. Even the old Manghu officials, though they hated nowe papors and had reason for fearing thom, never executed an Editor. The Assembly, therefore, have decided that a copy of a re- solution embodying their dis- satisfaction, bo forwarded to tho National Assembly at Nanking, and that, after it has boon die cussed there it shall be sont on to the President of the Republic.

China's Iconoclastic Period. In the written language, where' the meaning of each olaracter is complete in itself, a sign repre senting the sound alone would be susceptible of too many inter- pretations for such writing to be Intelligible. Why should not samathing now be done to bring tho written and spoken languages into closer relationship wish onch othor? Sinologues will certainly raise their hands in
horror at such an impious eng- gestion, and we confess that wo should feel regrot at seeing. the passing of the terme yet clear style in which official documents aro indited, but must bo admitted that there is no real necessity for this artificial separation of the written and apoken language, and that all the needs of dignity. and clarity would be found to be amply fulfilled in a style like that of Wang Yu-pu's colloquial rendering of the anorod Ediot," which may now almost claim to bo olassical itself. China is pass- ing through an iconoclastic poriod; Yuan Shih-kai might well eat the lead and issue lis Presidential Mandaten in clear, simple words, understand- ed of the people, and abolish the abstruse and archaic language that was so boloved by the scribes who drafted the Imperial Edicts.

The Titanic Calamity. The grim tragedy of the disaster lies in the false sense of security which the magnificent. equipment of the Titanio en gendered in the minds of the public at largo. The disaster: proves that modern science and invention have not yet mastered nature, and that while the dangers of sea-going have been mini- mised to 3 degree hitherto unequalled, absolute immunity has not been achieved.
