q ACRAMENTO, Feb. 14.-Assembly-
man A. M. Drew of Fresno in a
~ sermon preached at the Central
NJ E. church here tonight, said:
'The history of the world teaches
that a commingling Of the white and
yellow, or the white and black races,
always brings the white race down and
never brings the yellow or black up. 1t
results in a shiftless, worthless mon
grel race that the world does not need
or want.
'It was so with the conquering He
1enes; it was SO with the Greeks; it
was so with the Romans; it is so with
Spain.
1.-THE mixture of the brown or the
black With the white race sent the
white race down; never brought the
black race up. The South American
countries were settled with the people
of the mixed Spanish and negro blood,
and that is the thing that places the
South American lands where they are
1.-THE Monroe doctrine was one of the
most pernicious the. world has known.
The South American countries TEEN
with natural wealth, but the people
who inhabit it are the most worthless
i'll the world. And now the Monroe
doctrine has crossed the north con-
tlnent to California.
Il say to you that the white race
never has, never can stand where the
yellow or black race meets it. | say
to you that if conditions go on as they
now are it will not be fifty years until
the white race on this coast becomes
the typewriters and the servants of the
yellow. To compete with the yellow
race would mean that the white men
would starve to death.
The Japanese are fastening them
selves to our soil. Only today a man
on the train told me that he had sold
$4,000 worth Of land in Orange county
to a japanese. They buy tracts of land
and live in shanties in which a white
man could not exist and by saving
every cent they accumulate wealth"
IF the Japanese comes the white
man must go. No perfect man can
come from the mixture of blood. The
two races cannot live together. 1 say
to you, don't permit them to live in
our midst. L say to you, don't permit
them to take our land.
Il say to you, don't permit them to
drive out our people.
I hope the time will come when the
United States government will wake up
and protect the fair state Of California
from this yellow horror, this incubus
that threatens to overwhelm it, The
1IOIueS OF CIllS ldnQ OF ours are superior
to anything else.
-Four of my brothers laid down their
lives on battlefields from 81 to '65. and
tell you that a man who will not fight
for this country has no right in it and
has no right to own our land
Il hope to see California take that
stand.
II think know why President
Roosevelt orders the state of California
to keep its hands off the question of
excluding Japanese from our schools,
from our lands. This country has
$780, 900 of trade with the Chinese
each year, and 1 believe he thinks
Japan could so manipulate matters
as to close the doors of Chinese trade
to us.
What Shall the homes of the peo-
pie of this great state be pitted against
the paltry dollars and cents of trade ?
believe under God it will not.
Il hope this agitation will awaken
the people and that their cry for pro-
lection from the United States govern
ment will be so piercing that that gov
ernment will have to come to their re-
lief''
