A Warming Note.

The Sacramento News gives warn
ing OF what may happen if united
effort is not made for the renewal OF
the Chinese exclusion Act and other
legislation along the same lines. 1t
says: at is said that the federal
courts in San Francisco will supply
declarations TO become citizens to all
Chinese or Japanese who apply, for a
fee Of $40. The laws OF seventeen
American States permit persons sup
piled with declaration papers to vote
for State officers. If the Orientals
ever get 10 voting there will be little
use IN try ng TO enforce restriction
law. The failure of the Mongolians
to become political influence in
America has operated against them.
Give them the ballot and the political
parties that despise them now will vie
with each other for their adherence.
Those who remember how fierce the
struggle was TO get the first restriction
law when no Chinese could get decla-
ration papers will not view complacen-
fly the new conditions. But we are
accustomed to hear strange things
from the federal courts.
