TIE California papers state that Chinese
cheap labor is failure on the Pacific coast
and that manufacturers there are preparing
to get rid of their Celestial employees. The
very curious reason given by manufae-
turers for the failure of the almond-eyed
wretch as an operative is simply that he is
not a Iachine; SO that, when he learns
TO make shoes well, he will no longer make
them for SO much day but begins to make
them for himself and then sell them for him
SELF at such low rates as to ruin his former
employer. So long as John would make the
same shoes for $1.25 day the other laborers
asked $3.50 for he was, in the estimation
of the manufacturer, a success. Now
that he has gone step further in pro-
ducing cheap shoes, thus driving tn e for
mer employer out of the field, he is failure.
Thus it appears that the present idea of fail
ure is based upon the proposition that the
people are made for the manufacturers fact
perhaps, but not self evident to the major.

To the Editor Of the Press:
There is probably ne question of national
policy on which there are more widely differ
ent opinions than on the Indian policy.
The cause of this may be found in the fact
thst while there are some 100000 Indians
scattered over our country, differing greatly
in habits, customs, education and even physi-
col formation, judgments are formed of
the race, based upon acquaintance with some
ore oftke numerous tribes.
The injustice of this is seen when we re-
member that while there are tribes to-day
who have well organized common school
system, with literally educated Indians for
teachers-trihes whose farms will compare
fayorably with those of the whites in the
West, yet there are other tribes as wild and
savage to-day as were the Pequots and the
Oneldas in 1920.
An Englishran who should visit some new
settlement in the interior of Arkansas and
from his observation there form an estimate
of American character and culture and should
write OF us as a people living in log huts, our
hogs, chickens and children living in intimate
- i
nlent as the average verdict passed upon the
Indian.
Our whole nation was. few days ago,
shocked by the report of the cold-blooded
murder of two of cur commissioners by
treacherous Modocs, and the too general feel
ing has found utterance, ''The Indian ought
to be exterminated."
We have not heard of war being declared
against the fathelland of Wagner because of
his infamous crime on Smutty Nose island, or
of an army being sent to exterminate the
Louisianians, because of the slaughter of 200
helpless negroes at ColfaX courthouse by Nc
Emery rufians. There are whole tribes of
Indians peacefully cultivatihg their reserva-
| tions who probably never heard of Capt. Jack
and who have no more sympathy with or re-
sponsibility for the tragedy of the Lava beds
than has Bismarck for Wagner's crime Or the
citizens of Maine for the inhuman butchery of
Grant Parish.
The Indian should be treated as man. If
he is murderer he should be made to suffer
the penalty of his crime; if he is disposed to
obey law, he should BE- protected by law; and
an enlightened philanthropy sees in him,
however degraded it may find him, the pos
sibiities of civilized man and the success
that has in many quarters attended the pres
ent Indian policy, warrants us in believing
that Secretary Delano is right in looking for
ward to the day when the Indian, taught the
arts of peace, shall be valuable citizen of
our republic instead of the expensive curse
he has been in the past. VIAToR.

A POLITICAL ExPERIMENT.-It will not
surprise anybody that General Butler an
nouuces his intention of promoting himself to
the Governorship Of Massachusetts,, or that
he is confident not only Of receiving the Re-
publican nomination but of election. In the
way of assurance or brazen proclamation of
bis own meritssapd prospects, anything COM
ing from Butler no longer surprises the pub
lie. But twill be surprise indeed if Massa-
chusetts ever shall choose such man for
Governor, and it will take more than Mr..
Buffers assertion to prove that the RepubIi-
can party is so poor as to accept him as a
leader outside of his district There would
be one consolation, however, from his candi-
ty, and that is the possibility that he might
be buried under popular majority so large
that his political career would be closed for
ever.-N. 7. Eoening Post
