t1e country tnaI an attenlpt Will De
made at the coming session of Con-
gress to open the country's gates to
millions of Chinese laborers, which
he says will mean the ruin of the
country. Mr.. Gompers appeals to
labor to- take united action to compel
tho rigid exclusion of the Chinese.
The statement says: There seems to
he il well defined policy ofinterested
parties to induce Congress at its
forthcoming session to let down the
bars to the hordes of Chinese that
they may come into the United
States and its possessions.
The Chinese and the Caucasians
cannot live, prosper and progress
side by side in the same country.
The whole history of Chinese immi-
grafton to any country on the face of
the globe in appreciable numbers
has demonstrated this time and time
again. They have dominated wher-
ever they have entered unless they
have been driven out by the force
of arms or excluded before their
numbers were permitted TO attain
an overwhelming influence. Their
domination is not because of higher
attuinments but because of their sub
tlety, their lack of wants, interests
or desires; because they are cheap
laborers and cheap merchants and
thus industriaIly and economically
freeze out their competitors, the
American workmen, and even the
American busines, man.

clerk to whom she had promised
her heart and hand were sitting in

another thu talk finally drifted to
the subject of lighting fires in the
morning. He stated that it WAS his
emphatic opinion that 1t was wife's
place to get up and start the fire and
let her hard working husband rest.
| After this declaration there was a
silence for about the space Of three
quarters of a second. Then the tel
ephone girl thrust out the finger
encircled by her engagement ring
and murmered sweetIy but firmly:

The new tresspass law is likely to
react on the land owners who place
signs on undeveloped ground. There
| is Il movement on foot now to make
test case Of it. John Mccarthy of
Weatherly maintains that it was the
intention of the trainers of the law
to make it apply only to cultivated
lands or lands used for business pur-
poses. III a land owner puts up Il
tresspass notice he gives up the right
to have it assessed a- wild land and

meant to protect farmers and men
who had cultivated land. 1t was
also meant to protect the coal COM
panies and industrial establishments
at or near works. Both farmers and
corporations pay taxes on the devei-
opcd hands and thereby acquire the
right To exclude the public. The
hills and mountains are held only
iur speculative purposes and unless
their owners pay II higher rate of
taxation they have no right to cx.
