Speaker. of course. after all. it is a pretty hard matter for any man to guarantee anything positively in this life. But this fact remains--and I stated this matter before the Committee on Industrial Arts andExpositionsthat in California we have had our racial troubles. There has been legislation by the Government of the United States against the admission of the coolies of Asia. and that is the only kind of legislation we have ever asked for. and it is the only kind of legislation we have ever secured. We have never had any objection to the business men. to the professional men. to the students. to the Asiatics who come here for the purpose of traveling for pleasure. and those classes have always been highly welcomed. But an effort has been made to make a great deal of the fact that once in a while a San Francisco hoodlum might have pulled the queue of a Chinaman. but the Chinamen themselves are now cutting off their queues.
