JONES, back in Washing- ton, ought to wind up his conscience on the sub- ject of immigration and make it tick. The fate of the exclusion clause in the Johnson immigration bill likely will be decided this week. And the dictates of — the senatorial conscience still are unknown to the — proletariat. Here’s the situation: You own your home. It’s your privilege to invite into it anyone you please ; to a exclude anyone you please. Your reasons are imma- terial. Or you may have no reason at all. Senator — Jones is in the position of a hired man who says: “Well, if you put me on guard I don’t know whether ~ BY I'll observe your wish or not. I may decide to let in — a few heathens to paw over the furniture and make themselves at-home.” ¥ | ‘i E own this country. It’s our privilege to invite in or keep out whom we please. And we don’t have to give any reasons for our choice, either. Just — now it is our choice to let in white men and keep out yellow men, and why that is our decision is nobody’s — business. Bi | If Senator Jones or any other representative thinks he can sit on the fence while yellow men batter down our doors—and get away with it—he'd better think — again. The thought processes may be speeded up | considerably if you will wire the senator that your house still is your castle and you'd prefer to keep it that way. . * pay Jones’ salary and furnish him the votes. — We've done it for a quarter of a century, more or less. In return we want Jones to do what he's paid to do—and that is to look after the welfare of free whites in Washington. If the welfare of the Oriental races has become an obsession with the senator our advice to him is to go live over there and work with the missiongries. His idea, we take it, is to bring the Orient over here and then reform it. A good idea—but we haven't a spare room just now for the poor heathen. Where do you stand, Mr, Jones—-for your own folks, or for the yellow men? *
