The Ordinance only affects a lot of brown skinned heathen Chinese, and what does it matter how much dirty meanness, how much back biting, how much slander, how much lying—and to sum up in one phrase every species of mental filth, how much police spying your laws encourage and bring up the Chinese to commit?
