A WHITE MANS COUNTRY

In discussing the California Japanese
question U. S. Senator Miles Poindexter of
this state lays stress on the fact that, "this
is white man s country and we quite
agree with him, but will he kindly tell us
how did it happen to be white mans
country? Did the almighty dollar or did
might makes right put it into the hands of
the white man? But that thought advo-
Gated by the Senator is not germain to the
subject only in the minds of dark race preju-
dice biggots. This would continue to be a
white mans country if million, yea ten
million Japanese would occupy the wild
lands Of the far West and convert them into
blooming gardens as they have done in those
localities in which they have already gotten
foothold. There are in the neighborhood
Of twelve million colored citizens in this
country and it's no less white man s coun-
try than if there were not to exceed baker s
dozen of them all over this land of the free.
The white man of this country would con-
troll ten million Japanese just as effectively
as he is controlling twelve million col
ored citizens, and to spread that rot, of
this is a white mans country, in order to
excite the race preJudlces OF liberal minded
white men of the school of the Golden Rule
is political pettyfogging and no one knows
that better than does Senator Poindexetr.
In our opinion we need no more foreigners
in this country for the next twenty years,
not that there is not sufficient work for them
to do, but because it will take that long for
us to Americanize the foreigners that we al
ready have among us. Those Japanese that
are already here should be accorded the
same friendly feeling and given the same
opportunities to be Americanized as the
Englishmen or the men from any Of the
European countries. The Japanese is no
less a man and brother than the most IA
vored Of the European nationalities and if
the American citizen is the humanitarian
that he tauts himself as being he will see to
it that, all aliens are given the full protec-
tion of the laws of the land This, literally
speaking, is white man s country, but taken
by force from the Indians and developed by
native Africans and their progeny who were
captured in their native heaths and made
white mans slaves that he might be able
to holler loud and long about 'this is a
white mans country" Rats.
