CHINESE EXCLUSION.

At a banquet rendered him by the
Commercial organizations of San Fran
cisco, Secretary of War Taft tersely
pointed out the policy of the United
States government on the question: of
Chinese Exclusion. According to Mr.
Taft the restrictions are TO continue, 50
far as the coolies are concerned, but he
states, rather emphatically, that an in
discriminate exclusion could not be main
tanned. This is true. In declaring that
certain Chinese are exempt from the
exclusion laws and that they should
receive such courtesy as is due their
positions, President Roosevelt and Sec
retary Taft did not nullify the exclusion
law. The law was instituted with the
sanction Of China, she provided for it
in the treaty and has never attempted
to evade it, but it was not intended to
apply 10 the merchants OF to the schol-
ars, but TO the laboring classes, the
coolies that are found by the millions
in China's floating cities, the river
boats, and in the rice fields. Chinese
who enter commercial enterprises be.
come merchants of the most appealing
type; they are progressive and straight
forward in their dealings. 1t is a com.
mon expression that men prefer to deal
with Chinese because they know no un-
due advantage will be taken. The edu.
Gated Chinese are accepted as the most
erudite. 1t requires but an interview
with the editor Of a Chinese newspaper
in San Francisco to understand how well
educated Chinaman may become. They
are not only cOnversant with the affairs
of their own country, but with topics
of universal interest; it will take a
bright American to best an educated
Chinese in a discussion on American
politics. Probably the best quality of
the Chinese is that they remain Chin
amen. Few, if any, adopt our dress or
our customs. We have only TO fear the
Coolie and as he is well taken care Of in
The exclusion act, the formidable yellow
peril watts into oblivion. But with the
merchants and educated Chinese we
must deal fairly. Representatives of
our commercial fields are allowed to

MORE TROUBLE.

1t would seem that the Lewis ant
Clark exposition is destined TO have il
share Of internal outbreaks. A few
months since the people OF the exposi'
tion city were astonished by reports OF
dissensions that arose between the ex-
position management and the Oregon
State commission. For a time this
trouble threatened TO ieopardize the in.
terests Of the Centennial and pointed
TO practically removing the management
of the exposition from the hands of the
corporation. Now comes the dumfound-
ing intelligence that unless the eonces-
sionaries are permitted 10 open their
attractions OF Sundays. they will aban-
don the exposition. This trouble is even
more serious than the first, The amuse-
ment thoroughfar of an exposition is
recognized as an essential feature to
any exhibitive enterprise. The Trial
at the Portland fair has been carefully
planned, it offers a number of attrac-
tions of particularly high character.
They represent an outlay of probably
three hundred thousand dollars. The
concessionaries claim they are losing
money and insist on the reduction of the
admission fee to the grounds and ask
the privilege of keeping their places
open on Sunday. Their arguments have
been presented to President Goode and
he has as yet made no response. The
Astorian is certainly opposed to opening
the Trail on Sunday and hopes that Mr..
Goode will remain firm in his intention
TO keep the concessions closed. On the
other hand the plea of the concession
aries should be carefully weighed. If
this matter is given proper study it
should result in the reduction Of the ad-
mission fee to twenty-five cents. So
loRg as il remains at fifty cents it viii
be unfair TO the people of Portland and
to those who have invested their money
on The Trail.
