We admit it.| ‘America is the greatest country in| the world We admit that. The Chicago Tribune is the greatest newspaper in the world.. The Chicago Tribune admits that, eal well; and goes on at some length to expatinte on the so-called “Re-| ceasion of White Civilization” be- cause the powers in general and the| United States in particular does not yush into China, half-cocked, and} iil » few hundred thousand Chin- ese in behalf of “civilization.” The Chicago Tribune points with| ywide and views with alarm, after) the manner of the old-fashioned po-| litical orator. It points with pride to the fact that nobody but the| white race has done anything for ¢ivilization in the past four or five centuries. It views with alarm all semi-ciyilized or barbarous lands— yiz. to-wit, i. e. all lands not popu-| lated by the white race. It would apparently rush the white race mili- tary machines en masse into China, for the purpose of cultivating civil- ization at the point of the bayonet.| Many races have tried that sort of | cultivation of civilization in the past; but it remains for the white race to be the most ardent disciple} of this method. Without blinking the fact thet the banditry which bas drawn the world’s attention to China consti-| tutes a grave situation, and that the foreigners who are held captives) must be released, the suggestion| that the Powers rush into China in- stanter simply because the govern-| ment is weak seems to us bad in| the extreme. Let all the diploma-| tic channels be thoroughly tested first. Let governmental pressure be brought to bear. Not until] every other means is exhausted should invasion be resorted to. China has been exploited and in-| vaded by nearly every “civiized”’ country in the past century or two,| and also by the “uncivilized” Ja pan. Sho is a victim of circum stances for whose condition the only “civilized” race—the Cauca- sian—is quitely largely to blame.| Great Britain turned China into an/ opium field for the benefit af its| foreign trade half a century ago. | | The iniquitous opiam traffic was exploited by the whites. The poppy} curse of the Flower Empire is large-| ly the result of the white “civiliza-| tion ;’’ just as the civilized whites in! America turned the uncivilized red man, with bis poor mental balance, into a raging consumer of “‘fire. water.”” Chima, first of the nations in point of original culture and civil ization, has long been the ‘step child of foreign {nterests. China had more culture and more learning fifteen centuries age than were to ‘| does.the greatest newspaper in the | anniversary of Handel. ‘It is no sure thing that she had not} be found in the rest of the globe.| €be Casper Daily Cridune more culture and more learping,) comparatively, than we have today. | | Obviously, the rights of Ameri-| cans, Englishmen and others must} be protected in the orient. And if) finally we have to invade China's soverignity, always trembling in the | balance, we may be sure that to the | Japanese will fall the task of “‘po- licing” the country; which will mean more to Japan than her fam- ‘ous “twenty-one demands.” For Japan, despite her “uncivilized” | |color, has learned this much from |'the occident—that a superiority |complex is a grand way to impose_ | your will on your neighbor, be it ONE right or wrong. | ‘Try everything first before mak-| ing China once more the Play-| | ground of the foreign invader. Then | But where |if we must, we must greatest country inhabited by the greatest race in the world get off to talk about the “ebbing tide of civilization” —meaning us. We aren't civized.

And how many of them have you eyer heard of before? | | The New York Times has made a tabulation of the ten men generally | estimated the wealthiest in the world, adding one more to the | list whose wealth is uncertain.
