CHINESE SCORES
EXCLUSION LAW
OPPOSING THINKERS IN A

Noted Oriental and Rev. William

Right of Exclusion ' -,;
Acts 7
"Chinese exclusion as a measure of
protection for, American labor Is a fal
lacy. American labor needs no protec
tion and the anti-Chinese crusade
amounts to nothing more than the op
pression of a set of foreigners without
votes by, a set of foreigners with the
voting power." .
jvNg Poon Chew, a noted San Francis
co editor, was angry at the wrongs done
his people and hurled his defiance at
Rev. William Rader. In thel^ great de,
bate , before ' the Venice assembly last
night. • if" '/,'.
*j'Ng Poon Chew had' the negative side
;of^ the question,: "Resolved, that Chl
'nese exclusion Is reasonable and neces
sary, *'• while Rev. William. Rader, also
of „ San Francisco, upheld the offtrma

Rev. Mr. Rader Argues
i-^ln'.part Rev. Rader said: "The exclu

nia worklngmen. They have invaded
the manufacturing . Industry and have
replaced over 4000 , white men . In San
Francisco alone.
"Coolie 1-bor Is a direct ' violation of

"James a. Blalne said: 'I point to
the fact, that no where on earth— no
where beneath the heavens has there
ever been fre? labor brought into com
petition with any form of servile labor
that the free labor did , not come down
to the level of servile labor.' " •• ~
Wrongs of Chinese
; In the support of . the negative' Ng
Poon j Chew waxed' eloquent over j the
wrongs done his race. His answers
to Rev. Rader's statements were I con
cise and pointed. '■•'. He said:' "
] "The , exclusion -of Chinese as a
measure "for " "prbtectirig '"American
workingmen against ,' Chinese labor is
a fallacy.'- There was never a'need for
such | protection and , the anti-Chinese
crusade when ' reduced to a ' cognizable
point " amounts : 'to 'nothing niore"than
the oppression of ■•» set ''of l foreigners
without '.votes .' by i another set - of for
eigners with the power of the ballot. ,';
j . "Chl.nesey exclusion ; is . riot 'necessary
because the Chinese people are not mi
gratory."," All the' Chinese' In, this "coun
try came from a few districts in Can
ton.' province. . No otherß could be , in
duced to-come. ■ •' ■
•' "The'ChJnese never came in at an
alarming rate > and as a rule never
came ( lnto competition . with American
labor. ■■ Only ' in the ' shoe, cigar and
clothes manufacturing lines have Chi
nese and | Americans ' worked together.
j "During the twenty 'years ; of Chinese
exclusion .. Chinese . laborers decreased
in number, so did American ' laborers
and the output Chinese competition is
with other emigrants.',
Laws Against Assimilation

but there are laws against it. '. There is
a law against . their becoming citizens.

'MOTHER NOT FIT
TO CARE FOR BABE'
CHARLOTTE GILMAN SCORES
PRESENT METHODS
SAYS TAKE CHILD FROM HOME
Bpeaker at Venice Urges the Need of
Professional Mothers in" Every '
Town to Care for Offspring
' of Rich and Poor
"For the take of future generations
remove the baby from the charge of
Its inexperienced amateur mother."
This Is the bombshell that Mrs. Char
lotte Perkins ■Oilman dropped Into an
audience at Venice assembly yesterday
morning* - ,
The fame of the advanced stand ta
ken by Mrs. Oilman upon the. relations
existing betwen the sexes drew an ex
pectant "audience' to" hear her views
on "The Child." -If a sensational lec
ture was all'lhat was expected,' no'bne
was disappointed.
.As. In. the lectures on "Man" and
"Woman," much -of " Mrs. „'O ilman's
time was devoted ': to , an effort' to con
vince her audience of the position now
occupied. by woman and the means for
advancement open to' her.
Life of Child
I In speaking of the ' child Mrs.Gtlman
said: "In the animal kingdom mother
love j lasts justVas r ,long as j the young
.have need of It. The care' Is for 'the
youngest offspring. : The older Is soon
forgotten. - : i . . ■• .. v
: "As the time comes when. the young
require greater care more 1 love ' Is en
gendered to provide it. ■ ■ , .
! .'."Civilization ■ calls •. for more than
mother love. . It human, love.
A parent In Africa can do' less for
the offspring than Is done each day for
the' foundling, picked up .on Boston
common. . • .
;• "Education Is no longer the work of
motherhood. '.Knowledge descends from
brain' to ; brain,'!' not .. from Smother '■ to
child! The teaclier is above the mother.
Incapable parents not only do not,bene
lnt;the^ child, but. rob 'it of. much which
belongs to'lt.'V'^ C-V'- ■-'•■ 2" '.''':'• "•■ 4.--''
„"The, "The child Is hoi your child— no, nor
mine.;' It is our .child. ".v'Thfee'-flfthß of

Home, Not. for Children
'•"''lt Is a' gigantic popular, myth that
the home Is the place for chlldreu.We
do, not even /make a place for children
In the home. -^ :>■'..' * . „""■'■■
' "Does . the 1 architect who plans the
house make stairways • that baby, ; can
can climb? Does the one -who buys the
innumerable ' things ' that , baby ' must
not touch 'plan for ■ the child in the
home? . }I',\ ' : .'. i
; "The , public school is an institution
for the child; the high school Is an In
stitution 1 for the youth, yet we hold up
our; hands, in" holy ' horror.: at the insti
tution for the- baby. ■'■• ■' - • •
Need Professional Mother
| "A house, should be built for babies
In every town. A professional mother
should be trained,' educated and placed
in charge. Then baby could jbe saved
from the experiments of an over-Indul
gent amateur.
"The mother of today Is merely art
overworked "janitor. Should she die
what combination -of • man-tutor and
Janitor would do for the child? A fe
male housekeeper Is, however, , consid
ered the proper thing.
I'Woman should have a profession,
then the mother nnd father should each
oontrlbute .one-half .toward the sup
port of the child.
"Womftn should divide work, form
combinations,' follow In the footstep»\of
the men.
."There Is no m«n'fool enough to be
cook. Janitor and mermaid In one.
i "The children of the ' poor run the
streets today, the children of the rich
are allowed to cry alone In the parks
while an ignorant nursemaid flirts with
the policeman,' because the mother of
the one has too much work, the mother
of the one has too much play, to care
for the child."

■\' Storey says regarding the", case:'
."Rechstelner had " been • under the* care

■Yesterday a sworn - statement r was
