white races never have mixed and
never can and commenting on this,
said: There is something about
these races antagonistic that we per-
haps do not understand The fact
that Il exists and never has been
overcome is sufficient And ] say this
without the slightest intention of
rejecting upon the Japanese people.
] do not say they are inferior to this
they are different, that is all: and the
difference is so striking, such radi-
cal difference, that the two peoples
can never become one people or be-
come amalgamated at all.
"The Asiatic and the American do
not intermarry-will never intermarry
except in rare instances. We can
never absorb them or take them into
our social life"

folly of those who thought cheap la

as slaves, and whore is tie man now
bold enough to say that 1t has been a

your advice nor assist by your en-
deayors the plans of these whose eff

bring down upon US a condition which
will be worse--far worse in the end
than the trouble which now besets
YOU"
Declaring that the only principle
which should govern this country in
the protection OF the laboring man is to
pay him as much as we can and make
him happy and at the same time insure
to his employer reasonable profit and

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Concerning the presidents message
on that subject Mr. Gearin said:
"And in this connection would COM
mend the essay on industrial morality.
found in the thlrty-fourth page of the
message to it's distinguished author for
reperusal and careful examination.
There is not one single objection that
was ever urged against the Chinese la
borer that does not apply with equal
force against the Japanese laborer.
Why then the discrimination"
AS a conclusion of his speech, Mr..
Gearin said:
1--WE are a homogeneous people, con-
nected by blood and the ties of kinship.
And although We OF the west are far
away from the nations capitol as the
longitude marks yet We are part of
the nations family and sheltered by
the nations protection. There are
voices calling 10 us out there-voices OF
cheer and good viii. And we stop at
times and listen and they speak to us
of n brotherhood OF American labor and
American capital--a brotherhood OF
American genius and American
enterprises brotherhood of Amer
ican loyalty and American pa
trotism--and It strengthens our
hearts and cheers us on be-
cause we feel we are brothers all and
you will listen 10 us and sympathze
and aid us because OF the brotherhood"
