Live Much as Do the Chinese
The Japanese now in California live substantially as
do the Chinese A house which suices for family of
FIVE white persons house thirty to forty Japanese in
San Francisco In other towns Of the State they live
in the Chinese quarter. 1t is recognized mpossibity
for American labor compete with them unless it sinks
their level of living and abandons all the hopes and
aspiration which American labor has hitherto entertained
In the message of the President people of this
country have been amazed by declaration put forth
that treaty although in conflict with the constitution
of the United States the rights reserved to the States
by the Federal constitutions is superior such Federal
constitution and such reserved rights of the States This
doctrine while nowhere found in the discussions
pressons of those who framed the Federal constitution
is loudly acclaimed sound by the President and in
Japan. It would seem that the doctrine that this
eregn in all things reserved by the Federal con-
stitution, was the one thing which distinguished
it from the other nations of the world. The
unjust criticism in the message, combined with un-
warranted eulogy of the Japanese and the demand for
startling Capitalization and aggranzcment OF the Federal

tended to intmidate the judicial power into
straining the constitution by interpretation r.

all local selfsgovernment. This demand is SO
runous to the whole conception of Federal system

vigorous political action by all citizens Of decided
nature as to veto any such dangerous tendencies

To extend the present Chinese exclusion act to In

q To oppose any act of Congress extending the now
existing naturalization laws
