..FREE WHITE people,"
Department Rule ON Naturalization
Rejected by Courts.


Boston Herald.
Judge Lowell Of the United States circuit
court in Boston has fallen in line with
other federal judges in rejecting the con-
tention Of the Department of Commerce
and Labor that Armenians are Asiatics
and therefore not to be granted naturaliza-
ton papers hereafter, a ruling, by the
way, as contrary to sense, precedent and
science as any that ever issued from a
federal officials brain, which is saying
much. Judge Lowell shows hat there is
no basis in history, ethnology or con-
temporary fact for the claim that there Is
an Asiatlc race including Armenians.
Syrlans and other peoples, against whom
restrictions are now being sought. More
over, he shows that the Armenian petit
TONERS in the case under review belong
to q people that always have followed
European rather than Asiatio models In
religion, literature and art, and that 1t is
impossible to class them with the distinctly
Monaghan types OF Eastern Asia. More
over, he points out the difficulty the gov
eminent will have in enforcing its policy
of exclusion of Aslatcs, II 1t is to affect
al races originating there, inasmuch as
we long since admitted Jews without the
slightest question. The tho~roughness and
scholarship of Judge Lowells discussion
Of the issue will make his ruling unusually
important, and II should lead to. with
travail of the ruling by the Department
of Labor and Commerce. One cannot heir
specializing as to whence the pressure for
this attack on immigrants from Western
Asia comes. Is it from the same source as
In the fight on the Pacific coast against
the Chinese and the japanese? There have
been suggestions that its purpose was to
Justify and bolster up our unwarranted
discrimination against the Japanese. But
IL that was It's purpose 1t has failed, for
the discussion of the question has served
to emphasize the truth that the true test
for naturalization should be not that OF
color, birth or race stock, but of character
and serviceability as future citizens. Many
an Aslatic would win the honors In a
competitive test for citizenship with some
Of the Europeans who are run through
the mill of the naturalization courts.

Message to ALI the World.

The strides taken by the students
missionary movement, as indicated in
the annual report, must be gratifying
to all progressive interests as we'll as
to those which are strictly religious,
for It is apparent hat these %crusading
volunteers are carrying to all the world
a message of civilization. Moral awak-
ening and mental enlightenment are
twin sisters, and in their spread of the
gospel to the dark places of the earth
the American emissaries are allies of
the greatest Of uplifting forces.
The program indicated for the COM
ing year shows the vast scope of the
movement, covering as 1t does such
countries as Turkey, Russia, Japan.
India, Africa and the turbulent sec
lions of Latin America, where the edu-
eating force of the Christian students
is bound to be an influence for all
right living and good government,
Even the worldly affairs Of the work
a-day life are advanced by this move
ment, for 1t Is we'll known that trade
follows the missionary, so that for
practical as we'll as for ethical reasons
the students will doubtless find even
larger support in the future. Theirs
is one Of several unselfish institutions
of the sort that are making the Amer
lean known to the uttermost parts OF
the globe as a disciple of light and
hope and happiness.
