A Chance For Everyone to Get Some Edu-
catlonu. Redeem The State.'
! Rhkms, July 88. '
Oeubtlejs there may be a class of peo
ple who say thoy cannot advocate the
proposed Amendment, for If they do
they will disfranchise their children who
will become of age after 1908. ' I would
like to say to such a class,- (if there 1m
any) that were we living in ancient days,
there might be tome reason for thinking
thus. . Bat people ot today ' have great
advantages over people who lived two
thousand years ago, especially along the
educational line - " " ' -
I say xba young men of the nineteenth
century have great educational advanta
ges over those who lived in Cicero's
time, r Books in thoae day' were of an
inferior kind, and literature waa ? almost
unknown. Thore Were but few places
of learning and a limited number that
were capableof teaching.':: But it Is not
bo at the presena day.--Oar land is dot
ted all bver with school houses of differ-'
eat kinds, Colleges," high schools and
common schools, and we are surrounded
by -men capable of Instructing' us. ' Our
books are "so simplified 'that anyone, in
a short lime, can easily muter the most
difficult study. ' ' v, .
I would say to the young men of to
day, when. they are forming- circles for
the purpose of studying ; thai events of
the present, when 'currant topics" are
becoming e feature of the day, it may
nut be amiss to look a litU-whlle int.
tSe past,, and consider. tie. advantages
they have over their ancestors. . i
: ' It is strange but nevertheless true . that
so many young men of the present day
living iu a land of educatiopF surround

access to tb. simplest and best literature

Conger arrived at Tien Tain July list.

'Beselged for two weeks In Briluot le
gation. Chinese army is the only gov
ernment and determined to massacre all
foreigners; ' Legation shelled dally Dsn
gerof general masfneree of all foreign
ers. Relief must come aooU If at all."
A letter from the British .minister at
Pekln, Sir Claude McDonald dated July
4tb, received at' Tien Talu Stat, appeals
for relief,' says there was only a fort
night's - provisions,' with it killed ai.d
twice as many wounded. . "
A runner who" loft Peklu July J4ih
says that the city wa in a state of
arcy, the Boxers getting the advantage
of the government Ironp Tbo ammn-
nltton of the legation guard was then
nearly exhausted. " ', 1 "
: The allies at Tien Tsln'say that an ad
vance towards Peklu will be holly con
tested by the Chinese. '
Descriptions of the condition' of . Tien
Tsln show that the ci'y presents an ap
palling . spectacle;. The subnrhs were
utterly destroyed by the shells and bj
Bra. ' Inside the city . frightful Mlamage

results are expected to be obtained in
ward clearing ibe atiuoapbertf of doubt
respecting the srfety of. thi foreigners
la Pekln i by the -.. .President's ' adroit
answer to the Chinese Emperor's appeal
far mediatlod by the United . Blatcs In
the pending Interna) dlfOcultie.
This reply commits the Uovernmenl
le no arbitrary course of conduct and
promises only to exercise -Its good' of
flees In bringing about order condition
ally on the Chinese Oovernment , Breed
ing, to stipulations presented - in the
answer.. The- odrse pursued 'by the
President as outlined In the reply Is ful
ly expected to result In forcing the Im
perial Government to Immediately dis
close the real situation In Petin beyond
further question. Its effect, It Is claimed
will be to compel China to show her
hand and to make it" plaid to' all th.
world if she is. dealing -squarely with
i be nations, and especially this country
In representations ma le of the foreigners
being safe. ', ' , v
The belief Is not concealed: here that
ibechsnces for successful mediation are
slight. Mediation cannot be forced upon
a party to a cause; It must be acceptable
to all the parties. If the United Btstes Is
to mediate In China's interest she must
first secure the assent of alt the powers
whq bare suffered in life or property at
Pekln. The difficulties in the way of
suck'' an -undertaking are likely, tube
many and serious, iu view of the .thiol
tioa of feeling In Europe.", But It Is said
here that the United States will cheer
fully undertake the . task provided Its
conditions are met, v T-.r''i ''?,'
