JOHNSON AND JONES
Registration Heaviest in Wards Where
They Are Strongest.

Political workers who have made a
careful analysis of the registration Of
voters say that it is very Favorable to
the interests Of John A. johnson for
governor and D. P. Jones for mayor.
In other words, in districts where John
son and Jones both look for strength
tricts where Dunn and Haynes are look
in for strength the registration is very
light.
Thus, in the lower end precincts Of
the fourth and fifth wards the registrar
ton is light; in the upper ends it is
heavy. In the ,eleyenth ward the reg
istration is but fifty more than two
years ago: In the sixth ward the in
crease is but nine. In the eighth ward,
and the church district of the ninth
the registration is extra heavy.

SMALL PERCENTAGE OF NEGRO
CRIMINALS.

The juvenile court record shows that,
of the seven thousand children ar
raigned in the Juvenile court of New
York in given time, only thirteen
were of Negro blood. The population
Of the city of Greater New York is ap.
proximately 100000, of whom $4,000
are coloAed people That is to say,
1.85 per cent of the population is
coIored while, of the children charged
with crime in the period covered by the
statistics, only .185 per cent were Ne
groes.
These figures do not support the
statement sometimes made by preju-
diced men that the Negro is a natural
criminal. On the contrary, if accepted
at their face value, they show that the
Caucasians of New York, including, OF
course, the great mass of ignorant i'm
migrants, are nearly ten times as like
Iy as the Negro to have criminal ten
dencies.
no fair and accurate deduction can
be drawn from the court records re
port, which covers only a limited per
iod Of time. To form any exact esti-
mate of the ratio Of crime between the
white race and the black, exhaustive
study and comparison would be neces
| Isary But It may be taken for granted
that, if the Juvenile courts figures had
showed very large percentage of Ne
gro criminals, the fact would have been
widely exploited. Common justice tc

its bad ones never fail to excite com
