CONTINUES TO GROW.

THE CALLS special Washington corre-
sDondenee says that the agitation in favor Of
the repeal OF the Geary act continues to
grow. MT. GeaTy himself says that tre-
mendous influences will be brought to bear
by the Chinese and their friends. W0men's
unions, religious and phlanthropc societies
are the princij al sources Of opposition 10 the
act There is one thing these WeIi-meaning
people should bear in mind. A repeal of
or amendment to the Geary act would be
regarded, both at home and abroad, as a sur
render TO the Chinese who have refused to
register under the act 1t is not possible to
take any steps to evade the enforcement of
the act without exposing the Government
10 the charge Of being afraid. The act was
passed after due con sideration by Demo-
cratic House, Republican Senate, and was
signed by a Republican President. So far.
all court decisions have been in favor Of its
cOnstitutionality Nothing has happened
since the law was passed TO cause change
In the policy Of the Government unless we
consider the hostility OF Chinese residents
as something. The question then arises il
the Government of the United States is to
reverse lis policy at the bidding OF Chinese
and their sympathizers.
The hand Of the man-dealer is apparent
behind this agitation. The women's unions
and philanthropic societies are being used
TO reach the lawmaking power. The law
imposes no hardship upon the Chinese that
Americans do not voluntarily assume to
protect their own privileges from abuse.
The Chinese are here by courtesy, and viii
be permitted to remain as long as they
please on condition that they 90 through
simple form which will distinguish between
themselves and such of their e0untrymen
as may come into the country in violation
of law. The agitation our Washington cor
respondent speaks of is in the interest of
persons who profit by the introduction and
maintenance of Chinese labor in the United
States. 1t will be observed that among the
societies sending petitions TO Congress labor
associations do not appear. The men and
women whose labor is cheapened by the
competition do not petition to have the
Geary act repealed. That work is being
done by parsons who find profit in cheap
