firm OF Wah. Hop a Co, well-known
Chinese merchants owning store at 1904
Second avenue. In the application for the
writ It is stated that Chin Ian Is native
born. having spent the first five years of
his life In the United States. His father.
however. desired his son to have the ben
eft OF every educational advantage and.
being a man Of means, sent him TO China
to receive a complete university training.
The Young man spent thirteen years In
the Chinese schools and then decided to
return 10 his father and a mercantile ca
reer I'm Seattle In this calculation he
reckoned without the Chinese exclusion
act that had been passed during his alb
sence and when he arrived at Port

other tangible proof OF ms right 10 enter
the country.
He told a straight story OF American
birth and an anxious father awaiting his

made him thoroughly Chinese, and his
story received no more attention than the

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICKET
THINGS For THOUGHT.

Ho Vow, the Chinese consul general
at San Francisco, who Is diplomat Sec
ond only in Importance to the Minister
of his government at Washington, Mr..
WI, confesses to the fear that the for
eign representatives at Pekin have been
killed, and then proceeds to discuss the
causes of the present unprecedented
trouble in far Cathay. Among other
things he says: The origin. of the
whole trouble is interference with our
religion in China. Good missionaries
merely waste their energies and in
cense the people,
There is doubtless much truth in this.
The Chinese Observation-Disclosures
Taoism and Buddhism-are infinitely
older than Christianity. The three form
the beliefs of one-quarter of the world S
population, speaking in general terms.
The Chinese policy is one of seclusion
from the outside world. They never
bothered the nations until the nations
intruded upon them. To break in upon
the isolation, customs and beliefs of
four or eight thousand years is pretty
sure to arouse antagonism, impatience
and hatred, and from those conditions
10 fanaticism, violence and bloodshed
Is but a step. China, even more han
Korea, is the hermit nation. The
swarming millions there prefer to fol
low the trodden path. Their policy has
ever been to let the world alone if the
world will let them alone. They resent
intrusion of any sort, but particularly
those incursions which are backed UP
by force. The religions, manners, Gus
toms, laws and thought of four hundred
million people, fashioned in a crucible
which was on the fire before the days
of Moses cannot be radically changed
in one generation or two
There has been an attempt to rush
China. in more ways than one com
mercially, religiously and politically,
and the despised but very numerous
Monaghan has turned, and the result
iH-disaster.
Ho Vow says some other interesting
