An AppoINTEE OF PEKING

It may be said that Chang Chin yao was an exception and that one ought not to argue from what happened under him. The only answer that can be made to that is that Chang Chin-yao was a properly appointed official of the Chinese Government. Not one of the suf-forers under his administration has been indemnified by the Govern-rent which appointed him. Tuan Ch'i-jui was directly responsible for, all the evils of Chang Chin-yao's administration. It beyond measure to think of men like Dr. Wu Ting-fang and Tang. Shao-yi consorting with the evil men of the Anfu clique. There is not the least reason to think that there will be no second Chang Chin-yao. Until there is reason, it is idle to talk of ending extrality.
