President. somebody who confounded civil rights with political rights undertook to confer upon this class of people just out of slavery the privilege of voting. Why should these People. with no civilization behind them. suddenly become the political equals of the white man. with thousands of years of civilization? Why have they. without any civilization behind them. become fitted to exercise the privilege to vote. while the Asiatics. with thousands of years of civilization behind them. would not be permitted to vote by the white people of California. nor even to own land? The answer. it seems to me. is to be found in the history in the case both of the negro and of the Asiatic. The Asiatic is bright. educated. intelligent. industrious. the negro. goodnatured. lazy. without much ambltion. They have one element in common. and that is they have loose morals in the home. They do not know what home life is as we understand it.
