Is 1T TRUEg

1t is reported that Jack Johnson has
married a woman who is not a mem
Der of his people. If that report is
true, then Jack Johnson is wrong, en-
tirely wrong, and that point of order
is raised and sustained by every sensi-
BILE and self-respecting Negro of this
country. Johnson was born and reared
in the South, where his relatives still
reside, and if he could not find wOm-
an of his race suitable for wife. then
he ought to have died an anchored.
If the persistently circulated report
of his marriage is true. he has made
fatal mistake and subjected himself
to the just contempt of every member
of his race. If it is true, he stands be-
fore that awful and dread bar public
opinion, a defendant without defense.
Samson married Delilah and was de-
stroyed and Jack Johnson may look
we'll to his safety. Delilah married
Samson for a specific purpose and
thereby hangs a tale that Johnson
would do we'll to ponder or ruminate
upon.
The Negro, be he high or lowly, who
seeks to leave his race is a fawning
bringing, worthless rascal, and, with
out whitewashing it, no respectable Ne
gro has the least patience with him

millions Of honorable intelligent Ne
gro womanhood any male member o

Alabama, the Here We Rest State"
is to the fore with one like this: A
man was killed and the evidence
against the two Negroes charged with
the deed was too insufficient for the
grand jury of the county to find an
Indictment, but the men had to be
spirited away to prevent their being
lynched by an orderly mob" or the

for protection in a distant town until
they could be safely released. That
is Alabama justice with a vengeance.

JOSEPH 0. BATTLE.

The passing of Joseph o. Battle, who
died Wednesday of last week, was the
ending of the life of a young man who
gave promise of a useful and success
full career for many years to come. AL
though young in years, he had filled
them with commendable service to
himself and to his fellowmen. His
death is a severe loss to the commun-
ity which held him in high esteem. He
proved his worth and the people recog-
nized and appreciated it.
Mr.. Battle, at the time of his DEATH
was editor of this publication, al
though, owing to the condition of his
health he had not done any active
editorial york for several months. AS
an editorial writer he was strong,
pointed and logical and though pos
sessing these essential and effective
traits, he was nevertheless eminently
conservative. His forceful diction and
clear cut statement of facts or his ar
gumentation left no doubt in the mind
of the reader as to his opinion or pc
sition with reference TO any matter OF
subject under discussion.
From human point of view his
taking off, just as he was entering
upon what seemed to give promise Of
q brilliant and successful Journalistic
career, seems unfortunate and prema
ture. However this may be, there il
consolation in the fact that he met tn,
issues and tasks Of life as a fearless
manly man. He did his work withou
blasting his own trumpet; yet so wei
did he accomplish it that others fel
and feel free to sound his praise. Hi
was a personality that commanded re
spect without asserting it's claim. i
short, he was manly man devoid o
undue fattery or sycophancy.
Mr.. Battles life's work is ended. we
so acceptably did he perform his PAL
in trying to make conditions bette
for his people that his memory is SAT
in their keeping They will ever r,
member him as tower of intellectu'
strength who labored for their generi
general uplift and betterment
Death at all times is solemn col
dition and comes soon or late to al
None can escape final dissolution
is the fiat of God. We remark Il
passing of our friend. That is becOr
ing. and evidences the finer traits
our nature, that fellow-feeling tn
should ever exist between man ar
man. His voice has been hushed in Il
councils of his people; his versati
mind Will no longer guide his trenc
ant pen; his form will be seen no mo
among his fellows, but will ever be
fectionately remembered by all wi
knew him, that straightforward, ma
ly man-Joseph Oliver Battle.
