Who is Responsible!

The refusal of the House committee on
Foreign Relations to take up the Morrow
Chinese bill is one more indication of
the lukewarmnesS OF Congress on the
Chinese queStlon-one more reminder To
the people of the Pacific Coast that their
opinion-the opinion Of the sober, indus
trluus, law-abldlnS elements-sho uld he
expressed i'll no unmistakeable terms.
No matter what may be said to the con-
trary, it is nevertheless true that the inn
preston has gone out i'll the East that
the anti-C hlncse cry is essentially a cry
from the sand lot, that the hoodlum alone
is opposed to the immigration of Chinese,
and that the conservative elements OF
the community either favor the presence
OF Cinnamon or regard the subject with
Indifference. The people of the East
have been brought to believe that the
i-Chinese movement is altogether Il
lawless movement, that its object is not
to amend the laws but to break them,
not to- free American labor from Chinese
competition through the interpostion of
! the American Government, but to do it
in defiance OF that Government.
The above from the Seattle MtelH-
gencer is a true statement of the
casa. But . the inquiry naturally
arises. Why is Eastern opinion so at
fault an this subject? The answer
is easily given: Because certain off
Gals and their satellites, as means
of demonstrating their own fitness
and zeal, have grossly and persist
emily misrepresented the leading
agitators on this coast. The men
who set the bail in motion at Tacoma
were not ruflians, nor "ignorant for
eigners," as the Administration and
the Eastern people nave been led to
believe. They were regarded as
good, law-abiding citizens, up to the
time that they adopted the most dir
ect course of freeing the community
from an unmitigated curse, by what
they regarded as legal and strictly
proper methods. Twas not lawless
movement unless many other similar
methods are likewise classified in the
same category. Technically the law
was violated, but this offense was
surely mitigated in some degree by
the frequency with which palpable
violations of the restriction act had
afforded opportunity for Cinnamon
who we're not entitled to protection
of law to obtain asylum in this coun-
try. Had the Government shown
oue-half the vigor in tue protection
Of its own citizens, there would have
been no opportunity afforded for
Gov. Squire to boom himself by mis-
representation of the magnitude of
the disturbance and the character Of
the people implicated.

the more popular demonstration of
cold, uncha .ienged fact. After the
passage of the Democratic tariff OF
1916, which reduced duties one
third, wages everywhere began to
rise. Farming wages, which had
fallen 10 So and $40 per month, rose
to SIS, 500 and $50; manufacturing
Wa as l. creased II per cent. The
average late was then $3.50 year.
The chasing power of money Was
double wat l. rs now. Yet under
the hi h tariff the average rate Of
manu- ACQUIRING wees is 1927 peryear
and farm wages SIS per month.
These are interesting facts, and
they are worthy of tie careful atten-
lion Of every working man in the
country.
