this body, declaring China for the
Chinese, and Japan for the japanese.
and today 1 add: America for white
(not Yellow men,. Friends, l mean it
for it is burning question and l
hope to win every hearer to my way of
thinking.
Have we duty? Exercise 1t. Be
active, courageous, persistent. No we
want no further tempest of rage over
broken panes of glass in San Francisco
restaurants kept by japanese. This
must and will cease, neither will we
tolerate aliens to our commonwealth
aliens in every sense-coming among
as legally or otherwise. l believe, and
desire to impress it upon you, that the
expression of race hatred along the
Pacific coast, the hatred for the Mon
golian, is founded on fact. Such scenes
as have been enacted, and of which we
read. are BOT COMIC opera. There is
reason for every act. However they
may have been in other days the Anglo
Saxon of today is not barbarian: but
the atrocities enacted from San Fran
cisco north to British Columbia indi-
cate that after all it is but a step from
acts civilized to acts barbarous. Our
citizens of the West coast, who for for
ty years have come into the closest
touch with the low element of the far
East, know that they don't want Orien-
tais in their midst, and Washington
must listen to their protest. This story
makes it clear: sss.s-s..-7..ss
"Dld you notice about tn joke me
brother Tim played on one av thin
Chauffeurs Z"
81 heard terrible thing happened to
him. Poor Tim" y
~Poor Tim, tn diyvIe! He had q
stick av dinpamite in his pocket whin
he wor run over"
And, my friends, we'd think from the
trouble that would follow free ad-
mission of Asiatics to our fair land,
that most every man was playing the
same dynamite joke that poor Tim
played on the automobile man.
Where labor is in greatest demand,
as in California. Oregon and Washing
ton, these people of yellow hue are
most,ha el. We Of the Middle West
know but little Of the crafty Jap, the
cunning Chink, and the germ infested
Indian, but we, nor the Atlantic states
should ignore expert testimony of peo'
pie who do know. And besides this
race antipathy there is just and eco
uomic feeling against these related
nations of the Orient, by our Western
coast brethren, who don't want them
and my friends we don't want them al
citizens on any terms. We want nj
added race problem, until we are nearer
q solution of the black man than w
are. We've had one war and don
want another. We've settled the ret
man by devious and evil ways, and h
Is practically eliminated, but the blacl
man on the contrary is becoming mor
numerous every day; and no people o
earth multiply faster than the yellow
so why risk his presence? In tn
course OF time we will smaigamate tn
100000 yellows who are now here an
thus solve the. problem which we can
now escape. But an open door to tn
countless millions of Asia means ult
mate disaster to the white populatio
of our land. No, my friends, we mus
not allow the seeding of our garde
spot ofearth with wild mustard (yello'
-observe), the most hated of all enemie
to our acre crops. We do not welcom
yellow peril in any of its form
whether to destroy crops or the bodis
of men.
