WHY RESTRICT CHINESE IMMIGRA
TION?
Hon. T. J. Geary, In Harper's Weekly.

Hon. T. J, Geary in Harper's Weekly.
The Chinese are an undesirable immi-
goation from a political, social and eco
nomical standpoint. We have permit
ted and encouraged immigration in the
past because of the belief that each i'm
migrant had money value, in that hi S
labor, as applied to the development of
the natural resources of the country,
produced some new value, which en-
rIched the community and increased the
wealth of the nation.
The Chinese immigrants are actuated
by different purposes from those of other
aliens. They have no intention of re-
naming here lorger than is necessary
to acquire sum of money sufficient to
maintain them III their own land. all
expect to return there some day. taking
with them the profit of their labor here.
They bring no families with them and
do not become permanent residents, but
are mere birds of passage, whose labor
earnings represent no increase of wealth
in the state.
They establish no domestic relations
here, found no homes. and in no wise
increase or promote the growth of the
community lii which they reside. and
are, for these reasons, to be considered
as different from the other immigrants,
and their coming should be regulated by
different laws from those applying to
other alien races who come here. The
latter come, With few exceptions, with
no intention of returning to their native
land. Their earnings are retained here,
they marry. families are established,
homes builded: and many other citizens
find, in time employment IN satisfying
the wants thus created. Farms are sub
divided, and small settlements estab-
lished; towns spring up, and the country
experiences the benefit of their growth
and development.
The Chinaman does none OF these
things. He comes a bachelor and re-
mains one, animated only by the desire
OF living as cheaply as possible, spend
ing as little as possible and returning TO
his native land with his earnings.
He lives III novels that a white man
could not exist in. He acquires no
vested rights IN realty, and on his de-
parture the country is poorer by the
amount he takes with him.
If we had III California a number of
white laborers equal to the number of
our Chinese, we would have retained
here many millions of dollars which
have been sent TO China, and we would
have far greater measure OF prosperity
than we now enjoy.
Is it u good policy to encourage the
immigration of class of laborers COM
ing with the purpose of the Chinese;

LEWELLING'S ADVISOR.

From the E-aporia Republican
Frank Doster. the Marion reformer,
who denounced every body that dared to
oppose the late attempted revolution, as
an attorney in the pay of the railroads,
recently appeared as counsel for the
Missouri Pacific railway in a case before
the state board of railway commission
ers. This is not matter of great inn
portance, but it serves to show the utter
hypocrisy Of the corrupt corporations
cry Of the reformers. No reasonable
man objects to an attorney trying a
case for a railroad, but whenever the
reform politicians have found a Repub-
lican lawyer acting in that capacity
they have denounced him as corrupt
tool of the corporations and an enemy OF
the people. If they were honest they
would roast Judge Doster in the same
way, and consistency would require the
judge himself to join in.

end expose ''the sugar niger in the

that Mr.. Claus Spreckels is opposed to

Widest River i'm the World.

Were it not for decided difference in
the color of the water YOU would never
know when the Atlantic is left and the
Rio de la Plata entered The high-roll-
ing, white capped pillows are the same,
which jaime Diaz dc Soils discovered is
l25 miles wide at its mouth, though
with an average depth of only fifty feet.
Sebastian Cabot, who came in the year
1920, soon after the natives had mur
dered poor Don Soils, dubbed it River
Silver, not on account of its color, which
might have won for it the more appro-
pirate name of Gold River or River Of
Chocolate, but because he had wrested
quantities of silver from the Indians who
swarmed its banks, and naturally imag-
ined that an abundance of precious metal
remained in the vicinity.
In point of fact the terms of Argentina
and Rio de la Plata (both meaning the
same thing with reference to silver are
misnomcrs, says the Philadelphia Record,
for no metals of any sort, precious or
otherwise, are found along the banks OF
the mighty stream, or anywhere near IL,
and the scanty argeutiierous deposits in
the hills of the interior have never been
worked

The linear velocity about Tie hub OF
all FONTS in the wheel Is proportion
ate TO their distance from the center,
whether above or below the center
With reference to the ground or
stationary object the top OF the wheel
advances the faster, but as every
point in the wheel is consecutively
assuming that position the forward
motion Of the wheel as a whole, is, OF
course, the same. In the accom-.
panyng sketch the top OF wheel is
marked A, the bottom =. AS the
wheel makes half revolution,
bringing A to the bottom and
B TO the top, these points are
carried through paths indicated by
the dotted lines. During the first
quarter revolution A has gone TO Al,
Il only TO Il, but during the next
quarter A goes only to Az, while b
goes TO B2. The curve traced is
cycloid. While the point b was be-
low the hub it went ahead only the
distance X; when it was above it went
ahead with reference to the ground
the distance y. When A was above
the center it went ahead the distance
IN, after it fell below the center it
only made the distance in the same
time, but plus y equals m plus n.
The apparent anomaly that different
parts OF the same wheel can travel at
different speeds is explained by re-
membering that it is the speed as
between one part Of the wheel and
stationary object, not as between
different parts Of the same wheel
that is considered. In the first posi-.
tion A and are at equal distances
from point in front Of the carriage.
In the second position a is ahead OF

tion they are again even, for one
