CURSE THE CHOW!

CURSE THE CHOW !

The damn Chow has a hide, even though ignorant of the Law. The other day a young man named Dowraan had to bow to Beak Riddell charged with assaulting Sing Sow. or something equally melodious. Dowman appeared m answer to the summons, but not the Chow prosecutor, the result being a further remand to suit the police. Now, when the accused appeared again, t'he police caved m because the alleged brutally assaulted Mongolian had guyed away to Auckland. Now, Dowman had to pay heavy legal expenses, and Percy Jackson, solicitor, doesn't appear for nothing. This looks another case of the indiscriminate issue of summonses. Why don't the police ascertain the nature of the mongrel's alleged injuries before taking the matter m hand. If a Ohow hui'ts a very filthy toe-nail the Lor seems to be all anxiety to get even for him, and the police break their necks to gaol somebody and Magistrates frown severely and utter a lot of nonsense about law-abiding slanteyes. When t/he unspeakable alien is responsible for an abuse of the Law's machinery the all-round silence is stupendous. Damn the Ohow and all this maudlin muck about his virtue and law-abiding proclivities. It is this awful reverence by v-he Law's administrators that incite youn? fellows to deal out push justice, to the yellow brute who isn't required m the country, and whose presence m this fair land, his prosperity and his white "women" is a disgrace and a depredation of white civilisation. In the case m question, the least that ought to have been done was for Magistrate Riddell to award costs against the slant-eyed sloper, and a warrant ought to have been taken out for his imprisonment till the costs were paid. Again "Truth" malignantly and with malice aforethought, fcays. "damn the Chow." If he got a 'taste of the "Justice" the New- Zealander receives when he breaks the law, the Chow wpuld soon realise that it was a white man's country, and that he wasn't wanted on the voyage. The sooner the Chow is taught that "No savee," the equivalent of the white's didn't know the Law, is no defence, and the stronger Magistrates and Judges too emphasised that fact, the ouic&er will the mongrel make tra^k^, elsewhere.
