What the Census VIII Show.

We learn from the Anderson Mall
that the Southern Commercial Con-
gress estimates that the census Of
1910 will show the southern states,
including Missouri and Oklahoma, to
have made a gain in population since
the census OF 1900 of 81 per cent,
or from 26,774,6I7 to 32.415.297.
The gain of all other state of the
union together is estimated to have
been Is IL per cent. during the
same period.
The Ave states of the south which
will appear 10 have made the great
est numerical gain in ten years are,
in the order named. Oklahoma, Tex
rs, Missouri, Georgia. Alabama. Ok
lahoma gained more than 100000
in population The order of the
southern states in the totals Of pop
ulation will probably appear in the
census of 1910 as follows: Texas,
Missouri, Georgia Kentucky, Ten
nessee, North Carolina. Alabama,
Virginia, Mississippi, Oklahoma,
Louisiana. South Carolina Arkan-
sas, Maryland. West Virginia, Flor
ida.
The FIVE states to make the great
est proporticnate gain in the same
period will be, in the order named,
Oklahoma. Florida, Texas. West
Virginia, Louisiana. Onitting Okla
homa. whose proportionate growth is
due to its development within twen-
ty-ore years from all Indian reser-
vation, the states of the south will
rank as follows for percentane Of
increase, Florida. Texas, West Fir-
ginia. Louisiana. Georgia, Alabama.

Regulating loving Pictures.

The Atlanta Journal says on a
basis of sense, not sentimentality,
molten picture exhibitions Of the re-
cent Reno prize fight have been barr
ed by Atlanta as they had already
been barred by scores of cities over
the United States, and, indeed, all
over the Anglo-Saxon world. 1t is
not only a. moral propriety that is
here involved, but also a. commun-
ity's peace and good order, perhaps
ever its security.
,.:EEhc ,::3r at Reno last Monday Wis
;;i.e.enl from cIher prize fights. AS
a contest ii was the least athletic
and the most animalistic. 1t ex-
hibited physical weakness far more
than physical efficiency. 1t present
ed all the unde sirable ard none Of
the possibly defensible elements OF
such encounters
Besides such considerations. how
ever, and more important than them
all, is that feature which has already
strained racial harmony in variou3
parts of the country. That is the
one topmost fact which should lead
every city government in the union
to forbid the presentation Of these
pictures.
Within less than a fortnight hence
the motion picture films showing ev-
cry detail of the fsticuff will be rea-
dy. Dispatches have told how the
pictures were being developed and
arranged even while the first ira n
from Reno sped eastward. Before,
the unfortunate feeling that gripped
the country on the evening of July
the fourth has fairly died away. it
is proposed to bring on these pic
lures and kindie it arew.
To permit this would amount to
trifing with the citJ's we'll being.
To be sure there would be no just
or really logical basis for i'll feeling
from such a source. but i'll feeling
of this charac :er is not. controlled
by laws of logic or justice.
Atlanta, therefore, has cause to be
gratifed over the position which the
mayor and council and police have
taken on the question. 1t is in line
with prudence and good sense OF
city authorities all over the nation.
Even in Cape Town. South Africa,
citizens are demanding that the ex-
hibition Of ths fight pictures be pro-
hibited.
For the good of both whites and
negroes everywhere this course
should be followed. 1t Is hoped
that not a single film of these pic
lures will be flashed in the United
States. We congratulate Mayor
Dukes for refusing to allow these
pictures to be exhibited in this city.

Why G'hey Don't Like 1t.

THAT the negro should eXult at

all surprising,' says The State. but
that white people. some of them i'll

not the negro always been a mighty
man In fist and skull combat:
Fifty years ago. was not many a
white man proud of the prowess Of
his negro? What was the negro
brought to America for. if not be-
cause he was superior in muscle and
british bone to the white man? Who
would have negro who was not d
lusty animal? The truth is that
white men. in the North as we'll as
in the South. are resenting in this
incident not so much that the negro
walloped olt: Jeffries but that he was
free to waliop him. They don't like
it down in their hearts. that he was
allowed to stand up in the ring with
the white man. even with the white
mans concent If the ruffians and
thugs of Philadelphia, New York
and Springfield, who have been riot
ing with negroes since Monday eve
ming, could own Jack Johnson and
fight him as they would fight d tel
rier or chicken-cock. their pride
in him would be boundless. Their
objection is not so much to d negro
as to free negro prize-figiter.
