ilenge, but yellow men and brown
men must forever remain aliens
1t seems. however, and the fact Is
an illustration of the fearful and
wonderful way In which our laws
are made, that there was q
brief period between the adoption
Of the Revised Statutes and
the passage of All act correcting
errors in the revision, when Mon.
golian or Malay might have
stolen a march on Uncle Sam and
taken out certificate of naturali-
cation. Speaking seriously, it is u
disgraceful anomaly that while the
most ignorant Hottentot or Congo
negro can become q citizen OF this
Republic, the best educated China
man 10 shut out from that privile ge.
An Odi0us color test is applied to
foreigners seeking naturalization
because Congress is too careless OF
too prejudiced TO remedy an odioua
defect In the law.
