THE CHINA QUESTION
There teems lobe a disposi
tion on 'be part of some to mis
represent the position of the ad
ministialion on the China ques
tion by representing it as favor
ing a change in oar present ex
clusion laws, so as to admit
Chinese laborers into the Unit
ed States. - Neither the presi
dent nor any member of his
cabinet has advocated a change
in these laws, but what they do
eea is toat tnose laws be ad
ministered with justice, and in a
spirit or manliness so not to
nullify solemn treaty obligations
which we have made with China
The troaty our government
made with China in 1880guar-
anteed equality with other for
eigners to Chinese students,
teachers, merchants and travel
ers and to laborers already in
the United States. By the treaty
of 1891 China conseuted . that
we might for ten years prohibit
the entrance of Chinese labor
ers. , This treaty expired last
December and bas not been re
newed . The treaty of 1880
permitted the United States to
"regulate limit or suspend" the
immigration of laborers but not
prohibit it. Congress, however
ii 1882, acting uuder the "Sus
pension claim in the treaty of
1880 prohibited the immigra
tion of Chiueae laborers, coolies
for ten years, made the law
more rigid in 1883, extended it
for ten years in 1892, and in
1002 again extended it for ten
yean with additional restrictions
Notwithstanding we now have
no treaty with China giving its
couaeut for the exclusion of
laborers the Chinese have to far
made no objection to the execu
tion of our law of 1902 exclud
ing coolies, but tuey do insist
on the fulfillment on our pirt,
of the treaty of 1880 whereby we
agreed to treat Chinese teachers
merchants aud travelers the
same as persons of the same
classos belonging to the most
favored treaty nations.
The complaint of Chin is
that we do not so treat iheiu,
but uudor the pretext that they
are coo.iei deny them the rights
enured by the treaty of 13 SO.
Because of this failure ou our
party to carry out treaty obli
gations the great merchantile
houses and guilds propose to
boycott the United States aud
practicably cutoff all commer
cial relations with our people
In 1903 our trade with China
amounted to $45,547,009.
A BIO COUNTRY
To be a citizen of as large a
country as the United Ktae
now is requires much geogra
phical knowledge. Our new pon
sesnons in the Philippines
Islands renders it necessary io
know something about the more
than 1700 islands that compote
the groupe scattered . over an
ocean breadth of 832,968 square
miles. The land area of.tboee
islands is approximately 115,026
quare miles, aland surface 20,
4G9cqaare miles, greater than
Oregon. These Islands have ' a
much larger population than
Oregon being 7,635,420 in 1903
of these 6,987,686 are'clasied as
civilized. A population nearly
double tbatofthe United Stales
when Washington was president

Governor Wright, of the
Philippines, does not know how
to make the FiHpinosp y taxes,
and Secretary Taft is going to
show him. Taft is setting him
self a pretty big stunt, but in
view of his own record as Gov
ernor of the Philippines, there
is grouud for thinkiug he will
succeed.
Frightened by the indications
of a popular uprising, many of
the bureaucrats of Russia have
sent their families abroad where
they will be safe in the event of
a geueral upheaval. That shows
how profoundly the Russian
mind has been affected by the
sgitution that has been in pro
gress so long. The flight of
those families suggests the emi
gration from France at the close
of the eighteenth century when
rivers of I lood wore runuing in
the streets of lris, ihe stro uus
being tinged with much from
the bluest veins of the realm.
