| Show DARK WAYS AND VAIN TRICKS the pacific christian advocate shows how the chinese exclusion law works in this country when the law was passed requiring the sojourners from the celestial kingdom in this country to take out a certificate it was supposed that the problem of the detection of intruders had been solved but it has now been found out that thai the law merely created a new and valuable commodity those certificates are worth from fifty to seventy five dollars each and there are bureaus of exchange where they are bought and sold the advocate says the chinaman who is going to leave for home and not return can sell his certificate for enough to pay his tare fare across the pacific but why pay fare when it is so easy to be deported here comes in the white man who befriends the chinaman by reporting him being without a certificate he to is arrested where is your certificate asks ks the unsuspecting judge no have got then back you go to china la is the verdict and the meekness with which john submits to enforced deportation por tation is a lesson in humility the only cost to him is a fee to his white fiend who has purchased his certificate and put the officers on his track it is the tax payer who is the loser in this whole business of exclusion |
