No body wants trouble with China, yet
the undesirable ofton happens, and it is
the part of prudence to recognize that the
disagreeable may eventuate. - - Our
government now has more men and ships
in the Philippine Islands than at any
time since the passification of the Island-ersa-.lis
sending more" there to be in
readiness should occasion demand their
service to protect American and Ameri
can interests in China. ' 2
- The diplomats of the United States and
China are anxious to avoid trouble, but
the causa of trouble la not one of diplo
macy and therefore they cap do t4 tte.
The common peopS' of China feeV. that
the people of the United States habitu
ally treat them with contempt and lack of
ordinary politeness in executing the treaty
agreements between the two peoples.
While the common people in the United
States, and especially on the Pacific
coast, believe that the presence of China
men here is not only undesireable but a
serious menace to the prosperity and
well being of the laboring class, small
farmer and shop keepers and impelled
by this dread of danger from overflow
of Chinese they use their influence to
have the exclusion laws executed as
rigorous and with as few evasion as
possible. ; v ' '. .
It is a race feeling, and onlike the
racial troubles our people have and are
having with the negroes and Indians the
white people of the United States find
themselves ' numerically in the minority.
We could safely treat the black and red
men within our gates with contempt and
they were powerless to resent But
when we insult 400,000.000 wealthy.
educated and industrious people a differ
ent problem is presented; on that cannot
be solved by diplomats.

Whatever hostility to Mr. Roosevelt
can be worked up will be used to the
uttermost now by the -forces of corrupt
money privilege that are ranged against
him. What ever our criticisms, let us not
forget the desperate contest " which
special privilege everywhere is prepared
to wage at Washington a contest in
which,' whoever may be right in this de
tail or that, on the whole the President is
the most powerful champion- of the
vague but strong feeling of the people,
that financial burdens are unequally dis
tributed and need to be readjusted. In
this contest, which will be a long and
hard one, it will be the policy of the
manipulators who are guarding . their
present "''snaps" to take advantage of
very one of Mr. Roosevelt' slips. Let
those1 of us Who wish justice everywhere,
whatever Interest fall, criticise him as
freely as we should criticise a holder of
the humblest office, but let us not lose
fight of the fact that the President's
fiercest enemies are likewise enemies of
us all. It is not a question of 'who is
right on the Hepburn bill or on almost
any other measure that may be bef jre
the country. It is not a question of
means but of ends and spirit that we are
considering. .The President's' ends, are
justice and equality, and his strongest
opponents are those whose ends are in
justice and unequal rights. Colliar's
