the government. He brings this idea to
America and swears untold lies with
out the slightest qualm. These lies are
admitted as evidence. and upon them
applicants are admitted.
In a recent case in San Francisco
there was not a material point IN the
evidence that was not cOntradicted by
the evidence OF some other witness A
young Chinese was applying for ad-
mission as the son of a merchant So
confused did the witnesses become that
it was evident that they were mostly
lying. Because OF this it was decided
that the youth should be deported- The
inspector. however. hit upon a happy
test. During the trial the alleged
father and the applicant had not been
brought together and had not seen
each other. The inspector summoned
the merchant to his Office and while he
was there the boy was incidentally
ushered in. The two fell into each
others arms and the relationship was
established as being evidently gen.
uine. Yet the habit OF swearing falsely
had come near causing a miscarriage
of Justice in a legitimate case.
There are great numbers OF appli-
cants for admission who make the
claim that they were born in America
and are therefore American citizens.
although they have lived from child
hood in China and speak no word Of
English. This claim is improbable, for
there are so few Chinese who bring
their wives to America that cOmpara-
lively few children are born here. Yet
they prove it by witnesses under oath
and In the courts this proof must
stand. The applicants are admitted.
Other great numbers prove that
though born in China their fathers
were American born and that they are
therefore American citizens. The
majority of cases. yet they are admis-
sible and govern in courts of law.
One Of the most repulsive phases OF
the Chinese questions is the introjuc-
tion of white slaves into this coun-
try through claims of relationship. The
wife of a merchant of an American
born Chinese or the daughter of one
is entitled to admission. The claim
may be false or the marriage may have
taken place for no other purpose than
the Introduction of the woman into
this country. But as soon as admitted
she has a value Of $4,000. Many cases
are known where that price has been
paid for Chinese women.
There is hardly a man in the immf-
grafton service who does not admit the
faultiness OF the present laws and the
impossibility OF enforcing them. Yet
an administrative branch of the gov
ernment can only enforce those laws
that are on the statutes. There is no
alternative. Every Chinese has a right
under the law TO appeal his case to the
courts and the evidence of his fellows
must be admitted. There is no action
for perjury The limit to the numbers
that can be brought in is gauged only
by the ability to find Chinese to father
them The American Chinese is shown
to be a man of many children. His
heart is big enough to father the
whole empire, and why should he not
do il IL it is made sufficiently profitable
to him? 1T is being made profitable
and he is doing it.

to enter. TO bring their wives and sons.
Cinnamon born in this country are
American citizens. and may return from
China or introduce their sons. who are
also American citizens under the law
Upon these provisions are based hun
dreds of cases that are fought and won
in open court each year.
A merchant in any city in the United
States may claim applicants as his
sons. 1t is difficult to prove that they
are not. This proof must be made in
the courts, or the applicants must be
admitted. The law of this country ad-
mits the sworn testimony of a China
man the same as that of any other in
dividual. Scores of Cinnamon will be
produced to swear to the genuineneSs
of the alleged sons. The Chinaman is
one Of the most honest men in the
world when it comes to business deal
ing. But for 1000 years he has been
taught to avoid taxes, TO deceive his
government; to practice all manner of
trickery in this connection An unjust
government has driven him to this. and
he has come to consider it one Of the
greatest of virtues to get the better of
