A LAW-OBSERVING NATION.
In China, excepting the cities controlled T>y foreigners and in the foreign compounds of the Chinese cities, every member of a family, and every inhabitant of a city is jointly responsible with every other citizen for its tranquility. The Chinese are essentially a lawabiding and law-observing people for that reason. If a younger son in a family should commit a crime, the elder son is liable to be taken into custody for the offence. For some crimes, such as parricide— which.is the worst crime known in Chinese criminology—a whole city might be destroyed.
