Dr. Bishen Singh. Subhindra Bose and
Har Dayal three native Hindus who are
in Washington to protest against any
exclusion of members of their race from
the United States by Congress. spent to-
day in calling on men interested in their
movement.
The snow white turbans of the Hindus.
decorated with gold, attracted attention
wherever the dusky men went. They
defend the wearing of the turbans on the
ground that when Americans and Other
foreigners go to India they wear their
own headdress and that Hindus should
do the same.
One of the chief points made to the op-
position to the exclusion of their race
under the immigration laws is the fact
that a Hindu was admitted to citizenship
in the United States on the Pacific coast
not many years ago. 1t was established
at that time, they say, that Hinlus are
Aryans.
DIR. Singh and Mr.. Bose. conferred this
morning with Chairman 1;urnett of the
House committee on immigration. They
were introduced by Representative Tow
ner OF Iowa. They asked that before any
exclusion bill is acted upon by the com
mittee the Hindus in this country should
be given q hearing. Mr.. Burnett made
no promise to them.

THE sANsruL HYPOTHESIS.
BY g. A. starks.

- -
The white man in seeking to en-.
throne himself on the high hills OF
heaven has used every argument from
the sublime to the ridiculous. This
last one he has so warmly espoused
that though recognizing its utter
falsity he has learned to actually be.
lieve It himself, and between the real
truth and a decent doubt he finally
grits his teeth and proclaims truth
falsehood and falsehood truth. One
of the fallacies that has become a
dogma in his religion is color preju-
dice and the unTealistic dream of
white supremacy. Scientists and nat
uralists in summing up causes and eff.
fects usually pretend to find a GER
tain law or evidence of proportion
in g%eneralizing them, and the deduc.
tion thus gained they call a rule or
principle. We have never believed
much in these deductions because err.
ror and falsehood are generally the
result of all. Nothing proves this bet
ter than the position the average
white scholar takes regarding color.
He usually sees himself as the proto.
type of the human species and the
worlds civilization. However, pres.
ent conditions refute the first and his.
tory denies the last. The white race
is not the original of the human fam.
lily, the darker races having this pref.
erence according to all authentic his
tory. 1t is generally known that civ
ilization knew its incipiency in the
Egyptian and Ethiopian governments
Of which the Greeks borrowed gener.
ously from their customs.
Our white brother dates his origin
centuries from this in what his.
tory calls the "Aryan type" In stat.
ing causes for this breach of color
some attribute it to sociological com
)lications and others simply to lepro-
steal tendencies. According to this,
hen, white is neither natural or SUI
preme. AS a color white is not domi-
nant in any line or species. First of
all over 50 per cent Of the races are
Of the darker type. This holds good
in the animal kingdom, on earth and
under the sea the darker colors pre-
dominate. The heavens are blue and
lark as against the "fleecy white"
The birds wear the fine plumage of
he darker hues; the sun Is golden,
also the saffron moon; the earth, full
# Gods riches, is black. Gold, the
most precious metal, is yellow Dia.
nonds are appreciated for their blue
ire. The world is teeming with color.
This proves white the reverse type.
appears only as a reversal of
he natural order of the color scheme.
This may be brought about by atmos.
Dheric or climatic conditions, or chem.
cal processes. The white light is ar
the yellow light is natural.
The white cotton ball comes from a
black stem.
If the world is so full of color and
,olored things so much admired, why
s a COLORED PERSON so much
and despised? Why does a
something pretend to despise a
something when all nature de-
,lares that that colored something is
he rule, of all creation? White is not
supreme. Black can not be a basis
inferiority. When we behold color
10 dominant in everything earthly,
hen we begin to think that this is
he rule of creation.
