Another Chinese Decision.

Coming swiftly upon the heels Of
his recent decision regarding the rights
OF Chinese to 20 freely from one part
of the United States to any other part,
Judge Estes, of the United States
Court for the District of Hawaii, has
just handed down another decision on
the same general subject, but affecting
the citizenship of natives of terri
tory recently acquired from Spain.
Judge Estes holds on this second
decision that the natives of territory
acquired by the United States are not
only entitled to 60 freely to any coun-
try under the Constitution, but are
endowed with full American citizen.
ship and the right to vote. The case
came up in the United States District
Court at Honolulu on proceeding by a
native of the Island of Guam, Reynol
Reyes, who applied for naturalization
papers. Judge Estes decided that it
was not necessary for Reyes to take
out naturalization papers, for Guam,
his place of nativity. was United
States territory by reason of its ces-
sion to the United States in the trans
fer of the Philippines, and all he had
to do to become a full-nedged Ameri-
can citizen was to take the oath of al
legiance. The decision is brief, but
pointed and unmistakable in its mean.
ing. The Honolulu papers are full
of it.
The San Francisco Chronicle, the
leading Republican paper of Califor-
mia, published an editorial leader on
this second decision from Judge Estes,
acknowledging its sweeping character.
In the course Of the editorial the
Chronicle says:
Omitted States Judge NJ, NJ. Estee
has decided that the natives of Guam
are not only men and brothers, but
American citizens needing no naturali.
cation papers, and, in consequence, one
OF them. at least, is likely to vote at the
next election in Honolulu. This is vir-
tually ia decision that Guam and the
Philippines are partof the United States
by virtue of the ratification of the
treaty of Paris. 1t is true that this is
only the decision OF a District Judge, but
Californians who are familiar with the
legal ability of Judge Estee will have
great confidence in the soundness of any
decision which he may make"

Historical Errors.

. In l>";," says the Brooklyn EdgL
the people voted on the personality
OF Mr.. Bryan, on IL to |, on govern
mcnt hy injunction, on the indtpcnd-
oncc of the judiciary and on thc par
amountcy OF national law. Exactly
the same subjects are before the pcu-
pie again. In 1895 the beginnings 81
expansion were before the people.
There was opposition to 1t then, but
the President Of the United states
put it before the people IN Il series OF
remarkable addresses. The people
elected Congress in favor OF it, thus
anticipating the only issue before us
IN 1900 that was not before us in lS!'9.'
After citing historical contests
wherein the people refuse to reverse
their political judgment, the Brook
lyn paper says: "Those who suppose
that in 1860 the people will reverse
! their verdict of 1896 on issues they
then decided should remember that
this people never reversed national
verdict in all their history. They
have invariably repeated every verdict
that has been challenged"
This is a shallow reading OF his
tory. The American people have
again and again reversed their politi-
cal ycrdictS. Four years ago they re-
versed their immemorial verdict for
the double standard, and elected to
try the single gold standard. In 1854,
when they defeated Blaine, they re-
versed their verdict in support OF a
high tariff In 1888 they elected Har-
rison and reversed their verdict for low
tariff; and in 1892 they swung back
to Cleveland and "tarif REFORM"
They have traversed their verdict on
the "bloody shirt" and the force
bill" In 1856 they refused to reverse
their verdict On the issues leading up
to the civil war, but in 1860 they
changed their minds and elected Lin
coin.
In 1892 they voted against the
personality of John Adams" four
years later they elected Adams. In
1892 and again in 1876 Jefferson was
a candidate and was defeated. In the
third contest in 1900 he was elected.
In 1924 Jackson was defeated; in
in 1928 he was elected.
1t is straining history for the Eagle
to say that the people voted for ex-
pansion in 1898. In that contest we
were emerging from a successful war
with Spain, and the issues OF expan-
sion, imperialism" and "militarism"
had scarcely been preached. In that
contest the Democracy made the fight
on the maladministration of the war
department, and the verdict was so
close that the Republicans carried the
House of Representatives by the mar
row margin of Is.
What the American people may
have done in one election is poor
criterion of what they will do in the
next.

Senator Scott Defends Standard Oil Company

At the Roosevelt dinner held at New
York the King of American Trusts
was declared to be an important Gle
ment OF our present prosperity. The
following telegram has been received
by Judge White, under the presump'
ton, that he was still the national
committeeman:
At Roosevelt's dinner tonight, Sen
ator Scott made this defense of Stand
ard Oil trust. Fright here | want to
say, l believe in trusts. they are good
thing. The Standard Oil Company
put in its pipe lines to all the smaller
towns where oil is produced, and if il
was not for the Standard Oil Company
this prosperity we have wouldn't be
here to-day" Senator Scott immedi-
ately recognized that he made faux
pax, and standing up in his chair and
pointing to the newspaper reporter
over in the corner said: "If that
newspaper man puts that down will
make trouble for him"

Mr.. Hill and Mr.. Mellen.

The POSt-Inteligencer assures the
people that neither Mr.. Hill, OF the
Great Northern, nor Mr.. Msllen, Of
the Northern Pacific, have brought
Japanese to this State under contract.
Statements from those gentlemen are
published to the same effect. No one
has suspected or intimated that either
of those gentlemen were parties to
the contract, and yet it has been pub
licly stated, and the statement has
not been denied, that both railroad
companies have employed large num-
bers of Japs who have been brought
into this country under contract by q
Tacoma firm. Members of this same
firm are now awaiting hearing in the
United States District Court, for vi.
olation OF the federal law prohibiting
the importation under contract of
pauper labor. 1t will take more than
the statements of Messrs. Hill and
Mellen to convince the public that
this firm would bring over $4,000 Japs
into this State without something in
the nature Of a definite contract with
the railroad companies. The P.-I.
further assures the people that both
Of the gentlemen named would very
much prefer white labor, but that on
account of the scarcity OF white labor
as result of the super-prosperous
condition OF things, the employment
OF Japs has been a necessity. Do
these gentlemen mean TO say that they
are employing to-day $4,000 more
woikmen than a year ago? If not,
do they mean to tell the public that
the 10000 men displaced by contract
Japs voluntarily gave up their work ?
The truth Of the matter is very mani
fest when we learn that these pauper
contract Japs are receiving rs per
cent. less in wages than the white
men they displaced. If these railroad
magnates really prefer white men,
they must expect to pay white mems
wages. But the fact of the matter is
that they, along with every other
soulless corporation, are bent npon
getting their work done for the least
possible money. If the laboring men
of this State are content to leave their
interests in the hands of their en-
ployers they must not be surprised il
they are brought into competition with
the cheapest labor that can be found
the world over. The chief interest q
railroad president has is the manage
ment of his road on basis that will
produce the largest dividends. He
cares not the snap of his finger for
American labor, or its rights to live in
its own land. If we will allow him to
do it, he will import and use Asiatic
labor to the absolute exclusion of our
own people, if it means a smaller pay
roll for his company.
eternal vigilance is the price OF
liberty" but it is also the price OF a
living wage for American workingman.
If he and his friends do not see to it,
the Republican party, as the hand
maid OF the great labor-using corpo.
rations Of this country, will level to
the ground every barrier against cheap
Asiatic labor. Vote them out
