The Chinese President Yuan Shi Kai dead at last
Wednesday's Daily notes Yuan Shi Kai, president of the Chinese republic, has died likely by poison. Once a dictator who steered China between republic and monarchy, he ruled ruthlessly while fearing revolution led by Sun Yat Sen. The piece contrasts Yuan's ambition with Sun's and forecasts possible turmoil in China. It also critiques Carranza's notes on U.S. actions in Mexico and reflects on Roosevelt, Wood, and the coming Republican preference for a strong leader.
