The Chinese belong TO decaying
SUFFRAGE Of the Turanian race oil
mankind. Some ethnologists give
the Mongolian and Turanian races as
two separate racial divisions Of hu'
manity, but the better theory seems
TO be that both are but sub-races oil
the same great original type. This
Turanian race Is totally different from
any others in appearance, habits,
language, literature, religion and
methods Of thought. Walled in by
the impossible deserts OF Tartary
and continuation OF the Himalaya
mountains, the highest, coldest and
eteepest in the world, on the one
side. and the Pacific Ocean on the
other, il has from time immeniorial
been abs olutely shut in from all CON
nection and relations with the out
side world This race has been
through all the ages effectually boy
cotted by Nature. In the language
of Holy Writ on this same subject OF
the races dwelling together on the
face of the EARTH" God has fixed
their habitation." For the first time
in history the Chinese are attempt
ing to break forth from their
prison walls, in which Nature placed
them, and to peacefully invade other
countries. But those who come TO
California and other States, do not
come to stay. They are not immi-
grants in the true sense. They mere
ly, temporarily, in the case OF each in
diyidual, invade this country for the
purpose Of sucking out its life and
substance, and then returning to their
own land, which is as foreign and
strange to other races as though To-
Gated on Mars or the moon. Bad az
this system is, and much as it de-
serves to be stopped, it is better that
il is SO, after all, than II the Chinese
should come here by the hundreds oil
thousands, wi tn their wives and chill
dren, and start newer Asia within
this Republic. II history teaches
anything, it shows beyond question
that a superior and an inferior race
cannot dwell together in the same
country without it tending to de-
teriorate and destroy the superior
race. The inferior race is never ele-
waited to the standard OF the superior,
but the superior invariably, in the
end, gravitates to the level OF the
lower one. This was shown in the
case Of the Roman Empire. As long
as the Roman people were composed
entirely OF the inhabitants OF the
Italian peninsula, and the race was
kept pure, it retained sufficient vigor
to firmly Withstand the incursion OF
the fierce barbarians of the North.
But when the empire was extended
over the East, and the degraded and
effeminate populations from Asia and
Africa flocked by hundreds of thou
sands to Italy and the capital, were
made citizens, and became part OF
the body polite, the Roman name
lost its grandeur, and the greatest
nation OF earth sunk into decay, cor
ruption and degeneracy, and finally
became the prey of the Goths, Van
dals and other barbarous hordes.
To allow the Chinese to remain
here would work as disastrous a re-
suit more speedily. Ethnologically
they are the antipodes of the Aryan
race. The two cannot exist together.
The Anglo-Saxon, Teutonic and Celt-
ic races are sub-races of the Aryan
race. They are in the ascendant,
and have not yet reached their peri
helion OF greatness, power and civili-
zation. The Turanian races are de-
caying, dying; and any peoples com
mingled with them will, through as
sociation, be contaminated and like
wise doomed to deterioration. This
law is inexorable.
