A few years ago the foreign mis-
sionary schools were practically the
only institutions In Foochow Offering
facilities for the acquisition OF west
ern learning. There are now at least
30 native schools fashioned after the
foreign model. Foochow Is a city OF
100000 inhabitants, and these schools
embrace about 1000 students. Post
ers placarded all over the city adver-
tise the opening of various modern
schools, which are springing up In
every nook and corner OF the place.
Scarcely week passes without the
announcement of the opening of a
new school.

The Bravest Battle
The bravest battle that eve. was
fought

The bravest battle that eva: was
fought,
Shall | tell you where and when?
On the maps of the world you will
find it not;
Twas fought by the mothers of men
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot
With sword or nobler pen:
Nay, not with eloquent words or
thought,
From the mouths of wonderful men
But deep in a walletl-up woman's
OF woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part
10, there was the battlefield.
No marshaling troops, no bivouac
song,
No banner to CLEAN and wave;
But, oh. these battles, they last SC
long.
From babyhood to the grave.
Yet faithful still as bridge of stars
She fights in her walled-up town
Fights on and in the endless wars,
Then silent, unseen-gOes down.
OH we with banners and battle shot
And soldiers to shout and praise,
tell you the kingliest victories fought
Were fought in these silent ways.
Oh, spotless woman in a world of
shame!
With a splendid and silent scorn,
Go back to God as white as you came
The kingliest warrior born!

out a revolving crime being commit

better protection of life and property.
From the pulpit of the churches de

We believe that Chicago and othel

his own party in Chicago. He has the
presidential bee in his bonnet. Pos
sibly a Republican mayor would not
have done any better than Dunno, but
mayor elected on a non-partisan
ticket and standing for law and order,
could make Chicago fairly safe city
in which to live, which it is not at the
present time.
There is a strong effort being made
to take party politics and national
issues out of municipal elections and
the agitation promises to bear fruit
in the near future.
What citizens demand is honest gov
eminent and adequate protection for
their property and their lives.
No city in the United States is in
habited by more progressive and
public-spirited class of people than
Chicago, and the wonder has been
that they have not risen up in their
wrath before this and not stopped I'M
til they had removed the Odium which
rotten administrations of the city gov
eminent have placed upon them.
Spasmodic efforts have been made at
times only to lapse into worse con-
dition. It remains to be seen what
will come of this new movement to
rid the city of its horde of criminals.

START THE PETITIONS.

Elsewhere in this issue we give the
steps to be taken in establishing the
primary election system. Anyone in
favor of the movement can take the
heading from the Argus attach it to
blank paper and secure signatures in
the community in which he lives. AS
only the names of 3S9 legally quail
fed voters of the county are neces-
sary to bring the matter before the
board of county commissioners it will
require but little earnest effort in
each community to secure the re
quired number. All qualified voters who
desire direct participation in the nam
inging of county officers should in
terest themselves in securing sign
ers to petitions at once in order that
the county commissioners can take
the initiatory in calling special cleo
ton for the purpose of submitting the
question to popular vote at their reg
ular March session The people
should be given an opportunity to eX-
press their choice in the matter. If
they want to keep in line with the
political reform movement Of the day,
il they want better politics and bet
ter government it rests with them
to say so and the start cannot be
made too soon.
