Safeguarding the Public.

It is hard, of course, if a driver of an express train has to end a long and blameless career by reason of a slip which proves costly in the matter of human lives." But it is still harder if the safety of the public is not to be safeguarded in every way poa ible. Where human life is con- corned the tempering of justice with too much mercy is 'out' of

China, then, stands at the parting of the ways. For five years she is committed to the presidency of Yuan Shib-kai, and in those five years she may achieve great things in the way of progress. It is possible for her to do quite the oppos.te, or course, but this need not be dwelt upon. At the moment the signs' point the other way. It is something, at any rate, that she has chosen as President the on man who can handle both the civil and military factions and who preserve peace between them. During the past two years President Yuan has worked himself. into a position very nearly resembling that of a military dictator. From that, during the next *year or two, should evolve a system of administration more per- manent in character and mo o suited to China's needs. The country has called upon the President to restore law and order; President Tuan has asked the country to be patient and not to expect too much to be achieved in a short time. That is the position in a nutshell, and from that position anything may evolve. Given that the country is content to build slowly, with an eye to perman-5324 2651 5224 7002, Shanghai. ence, the next five years should see China making considerable
