WESTERN SENATORS ARE NOW

at any time. No establishment would
be expressed il a number of these
Western senators took the bit in their
teeth, deffed the president and deter
mined to stand by the welfare OF their
people at home. This would mean the
rejection of free sugar and free wool.
They would become party renegades
but would save their place in official
life and be in opposition to retrieve
their fortunes with another admins
tration not SO radical In matters OF
downward tariff revision.
Boiling mad" is the expression used
in describing the feelings of Senators
Newlands, Smith of Arizona, Shafroth,
Thompson, Chamberlain, Hitchcock,
Lane and some others, who appreciate
the fact that not only are they being
eliminated from public life but the
Democratic party is booming itself to
another long period of far-distant re-
moTal from governmental control.
Optimistic people predict that be-
fore the last roll call is taken on the
Underwood bill enough of these irri-
tated and disguised senators will join
inE a declaration of independence ard
vote against free sugar and wool. But
at present Mr.. Wilson has them cowed
and the time has rot arrived for the
panic to develop desperation.

San Francisco Chronicle De-
cIareS Deep-Rooted Race
Antipathy Cannot Be
Ended

Among the striking expressions of
opinion on the proposal to naturalize
Japanese Is the following from the
San Francisco Chronicle:
While the Chinese-Ameriean League
of Justice is to be commended for so
much Of its effort as is intended to
promote a better understanding of
the orient by the occident, it is to be
regretted that the plea for a study OF
the Asiatic races is accompanied by
an appeal for their unrestricted admis-
Sion to this country and by number
of arguments more offensive than
logical.
In. recent pamphlet, "A Few Facts
About the Chinese" the league de-
clares that our. exclusion laws are
mot only unjust, un-Christian and UNI
reasonable, but equally unbusinesslike.
We have spent millions upon millions
OF dollars to 'Christianize' the Chinese,

yet we are daily declining to practice
what we preach"
The writer apparently rorgets that
while the United States as nation
excludes the Chinese, as a nation it
has never spfnt cent upon Chris
Iian dag anybody. The funds for mis-
sion ha ben supplied by indivi1
uals. and ii a4v of the individuals
contributing to those funds are guilty
OF the Inconsistency referred to, that
is another mater. Even in such
cases there is evidenced one of the
strongest arguments against unre-
stricted immigration. If an American
Christian so ardent in his belief that
he makes personal sacrifices to spread
the Gospel among Asiatics will yet re-
fuse to accept those Asiatics as neigh
bors. 1t proves that there is in him an
instinct more deeply rooted than his
religion.
Call that instinct by whatever name
you will, label it as would the dispas-
sionate scientist, ''primordial self-pres-
ervation," or stigmatize 1t as does the
league writer, as formed of fear, SUI

WASHINGTON, d. c., June S.-Ths
condition of panic in which many
Democratic senators from Western
States now find themselves has never
been equalled. They are suffering not
only from acute apprehension but az
gravated irritation and indignation.
They believe the Underwood tariff biii
will prove disastrous to their con-
stituents, destroying the wool and SD.
gar industries. They realize that If
they vote for those features 1t means
their retirement to private life. This
is offset by the dread of ostracism and
isolation that would follow. their re-
fusal to support President Wilson.
How long this panic can be re-
strained and kept. in check is the
question being asked at this time by
all thinking persons here. 1t is pos
sible Mr.. Wilson, with the patronage
lash, and the assistance of such sena-
tors as are not thus brought face to
face with the anger of their constit-
uents and loss of prestige. 1t is a

remedial measures, will endeavor 10

it by the meeting, was the question

ries as an indissoluble element of hui
man nature. What has endured
through the ages, and what will con-
tinue for ages to come, is not neees-
sarily the highest, but he who sup
poses that it can be eliminated by ar
gument, or even by abusive pamph-
lets, imagines vain thing. Mankind
has shed many a bitter prejudice;
tribes, nations and even certain races
formerly at daggers drawn now man
age TO live in amicable relations, yet
black is black and white is white,
east is east and west is west, and
their antipathies will remain unto the
last syllable of recorded time.
Reason enters into the matter no
further than to say that what is in
herent in human nature is there in
obedience to the most fundamental
biological laws. AS Chesterton OBJ
serves, a deep-seated popular preju-
dice is but the bristly hide of liv-
ing principle, and it may be added it
is a principle of living that is attested
in the populad prejudice of white
against black, and black or yellow
against white.
And it must be remembered that
these racial preiudices are not all on
one side. The Chinese-American
League of Justice would have us be.
lieve that the Monaghan is in his at
titude toward us as non-combative as
the beatitudes, but for all his imita-
.tion of our commercial and Industrial
methods, in his heart of hearts he
looks down upon us as interiors And
each is inferior to the other from each
others standpoint. When race, no
matter how low 1t may seem in our
estimation, ceases to believe that it
has elements of superiority, it is has.
tening to decay and to an obituary
chapter in the martyrdom of man.
A little reflection along these lines
will serve to indicate the folly of the
leagues argument that we can as
simulate the Chinese and that the Chi
nese can assimilate with us. The
author of the pamphlet imagines that
fecause he grants the impossibiHty OF
assimilation by marriage he has dis
missed the main contention. He saws
the Chinese assimilate in every other
way, but for this he has not one sup
porting fact. If there had never been
an instance of intermarriage, the in
stinctive antipathy would have been
just as intense.
Assimilation is not matter of
speaking the same language, Worship
ping at the same shrine, working at
the same industries, wearing the same
clothes or adopting the same diet. bus
is that free mingling on terms of per-
tect equality in an atmosphere of good.
Fellowship and mutual esteem. Who
can say that such assimilation is nos

majority of Americans, and so long

the same time let us frankly admit
that there are races we can never hone
