Letters From the People
IRISH AND THE IRISH

Editor Call: In your issue of yester
day appears a report of the language
used by Colonel bless the mark John
p. Irish at a luncheon in the st. Francis
hotel the preceding day, when discuss
ing oriental immigration. The report
says Among his auditors were many
of Irish stock. sons of Irish pioneers"
Well, Mr.. Editor, / hope your reporter
is mistaken. for. I can hardly believe
that there was "a man present with a
drop of Irish blood IN his veins, and If
there was and he allowed the doughty
colopefs words to go unchallenged he
is no credit to the Irish stock
THE members of the club stalked
away in silence" Good heavensi Can
this be true, And they were Irishmen
and the sons of Irishmen Well. God
help the Irish in california if the
members of the club are a sample of
them. Surely the days of chivalry are
gone, and I'VE are men no more
l do not know where Irish got his
information about the Irish in ireland.
/ lived there for 25 years before COM
ing to California and never saw an
Irishman work for cents day. 1t is
true that many of my countrymen are
poor and have to live in modest homes.
but are they not deserving of all the
more credit because of this for ''ele-
waiting themselves to the position which
they now hold in the community" and
which the gallant Cd colonel gives
them credit for? He says further,
however And so it will be with the
Japanese and Chinese. Like the Irish
they but want opportunity and they
will succeed as the irish have done. y
Have they not had the opportunity?
and where have they succeeded "as
the Irish have done p Do japanese
and Chinese names appear in the pages
of American history as do the Irish ?
Did ever Japanese or Chinese blood
flow in defense OF our country's flag
as did that of the Irish, and will the
time ever come when it will? Has
ever Chinaman or a Japanese shown
the love for and loyalty to their
adopted country as do the irish? But
what's the use? The history of the
Irish race in America Is too well known
to need any defense at my hands. and
a comparison between them and the
Japanese and Chinese rs worthy only of
a man like Irish. Bigotry and intol-
erance has seen it's day in this country
and the sneers and insults of men like
Irish can no more hurt our race.
Faithfully yours,
