Excerpt from The Chinese Students' Monthly, Vol. 9: November 10, 1913
For forms of government let fools contest, That which is best administered is best.
But we must admit that the supreme function of the political system is to secure and maintain domestic and international peace. The internal affairs of China are far from being satis factory. In many localities license masked as liberty threatens to substitute violence for law; in other places the organized few contrive to ride roughshod over the unorganized many. There are many, as recent events have shown, who are just as ready to plunder the innocent and peace-loving people as to shout hurrahs for liberty. All these indicate that the task of reconstruction is not an easy one, and that to restore order and usher in the era of prosperity many lawless elements have to be subdued and private interests made subordinate to the social welfare.
