Learn the Real Feeiing Loving Cup
for DIR. Mackenzie, Who Is Going West
The California Society Of New York
met at the Hotel St. Regis last evening
10 eat its annual dinner, 70 present a
loving cup to the Rev. DR.. Mackenzie,
pastor Of the Rutgers Riverside Presby-
terian Church, who is going away from
here. and not to talk about the Japanese
All this programme was duly carried out
excepting that part Of IL relating 10 the
Japanese. There was, in fact. consider
able talk. some Of it forcible, about the
Japanese.
William 4. Brady, who used TO manage
James j. Corbett and last evening sat
beside DR.. Mackenzie. started the Japa-
nese ball rolling.
California ought to remember said
Mr.. Brady. that in the hour OF her great
need IL was the East who came TO her
help. California ought TO remember how
the East and in fact the whole country
east Of the Sierras poured out its stores
Of money and sympathy and assistance
AT Itlt llItt vi lnt thphdho ohN VIZ
great fire. And think IL is also time for
California to remember that in case OF
war with Japan 100000 seasoned Japan
ese veteran troops could he landed IN
California inside of ninety days. These
800, 900 Japanese troops could tear up
railroad tracks and tear down your snow
sheds and destroy your cities in spite OF
anything that any volunteer army could
do TO stop them. and that within thirty
days. Within thirty days California, Ne
vada, Oregon and Washington would be
taken. They would be as hard to recover.
even for an army Of 100000 volunteers,
as Russia was difficult for Napoleon to
take. Think it over"
Colvin B. Brown, who acted as toast
master at the dinner, got back at Mr..
Brady without loss Of time.
Il think said he, that tho Fast ought
on it's part to remember that the Japanese
question is a national question and not
merely State question. Those European
elements that have come to this country
have been welcome because they improved
this country, but a Cav casian race can
never live side by sde with a yellow race.
never amalgate with yellow race with
out retrogradinR.
Il am glad that the Legislature Of Cali
fornia considered those three bills for
which the rest Of the country cursed it.
am glad Of it because II served to show
the rest Of the country the real sentiment
Of 90 per cent of the citizens OF California
upon this question. But ] am also glad
that those same bills were defeated. |
am glad of this because in my Judgment
il is the national Government that should
settle this question
DIR. Mackenzie. who has been here
since 1901, is going back TO California,
whence he came here to become presi-
dent Of the Presbyterian theological
Seminary at San Rafael. He made
speech touching on and appertaining TO
the glories OF California and said that 1t
was the calendar that Was driving him
away from New York. II il were not
for the calendar he said he would be only
25 years old But as il was----
Then Edward j. McGanney, who used
20 be president of the society. made a
speech presenting as the society's parting
gift TO DR.. Mackenzie a silver loving cup
appropriately inscribed As DR.. Macken-
zie took il somebody rushed up and
poured some champagne into 1t. DR.,
Mack enzie Just touched his lips To 1t and
then the cup went around Charles j..
Brooks, chairman og the dinner com
mittee. got a cut glass punch bowl from
the governors of the society in memory
of a certain occasion when he entertained
guests at his home with punch made in a
wash boiler.
William p. Martin. z. L. Dodge. Mr..
Brooks and others spoke.
