It is a sad fact that character. while it is prerequisite for everything important in life. is not a prerequisite for high social position. If this bill passes. it is another instance of "right forever on the scaffold." If it passes. there are thousands of cases more meritorious. and they should follow this precedent. If it passes. it will be another instance of the power of wealth. In this session of Congress we have passed one little piece of immigration legislation thus far. It is that bill which provides for the entry of Chinese wives of American citizens. If we pass this pending bill. we will have accomplished the prodigious task of letting in one more woman.
