yesterday won the fight at Reno.
Johnson won his title of worlds
champion honestly and easily. Hav-
ing done that the world was searched
for the man to take it from him, and
Jeffries, handicapped as he was by
six years of fat accommodating idle
ness, was selected as the i%nvincible
white. From the beginning there
were many persons who refused to
believe THAT the boilermaKer could I'M
do by any system of training the
weakening effects of his non-athletic
life. To these his defeat was no sur
prise.
Those who have watched Johnson
assert that he has never yet been
forced to. show the best that is in him.
In spite of his non-conclusive contest
with Langfcrd, he has been described
as a fighter who always has some
thing of strength, skill and endurance
to fall back on. That he played with
Tommy Burns should not be cited in
support of this; Burns as a champion
was only one degree less ridicu-
lous that Marvin Hart, who was elect
ed by the humorous Jeffries as his
successor. The statement depends
for proof on the general record of
Johnson.
There is no white man now in sight
to question seriously Johnson's title.
Langford might beat him. But
when are they to fight? And would
a contest between two blacks arouse
the enthusiasm of any considerable
number of persons, outside the ha-
bitual followers of f~istcuffs?

Nothing is more natural than the
jubilation of the Negroes rel the
supremacy of one of their race in the
prize ring, and it is good to see them
exult, ~decently and soDerly. Only a
few of them have been offensive 10
people who are ~considerate and ep-
preciate the joy with which 2docile
and tractable people contemplate the
demonstration of cleverness, prowess
and courage by one of their number.
Of course, there are fool Negroes and
fool white men, who will have trou-
BILE with themselves if they cannot
have it with one another, but it is
an outrage to breach the peace and
precipitate a near-riot simply becarEe
a Negro yells, "Hurrah f)r Johnson!"
Our information IS that, instead Of
trying to avoid disturbances, the
whites have demonstrated that they
are not good losers. AS for the John
sen victory having any tendency to
make the Negroes nsClenr, ii is not
likely in this Sc ;tion, whatever may
be the result in Northern commune
ties. They have been taught better
down here, and ninety-nine in every
100 have learned the lesson we'll. If
Jack should lick forty Jeffs, the South
erners are not going 70 call Negroes
mister, lift their hats to them, or get
off the sidewalk for them. For this

"The political situation relative

speaker in the undertone said,
The Negro is not of of politics;
he is only dormant, and whenever
the white people split on any polit-
ical question the Negro will be-

his vote eagerly sought. This will
resuscitate him and make him
once more a dangerous factor in
the affairs of State. Now, MI.
Editor, it cannot be denied that
Tennessee is growing, growing

'grandfather's clause is needed
in our statute book and a further
proviso that each voter should
own at least two hundred and fifty
dollars in real and personal prop

the English language. Now is
the time to do it. Sentiment can
no longer hold the voter in line.
Interest and self-interest, at that,

no matter which party wins. Other
Southern states have done it, and
there is peace in the Democratic
party in those states, and why?
Because every man votes his sem
timent. No man votes with one
party and prays for the success
of the other. For forty-five years
the Southern people subordinated
every political opinion to the
black pail which hung over their
fair land. They had opinions
different from the declaration of
the Democratic party, but they
were stihed on account of the Ne

by the Eiks Lodge was Of the most i'm

the true principles of benevolence and
patriotism. Their exercises were sub

was no parade of fictitious sentiment.
but deep and lasting feeling of the
most loyal principles towards what the
national flag typifes and stands for

this occasion, the members of the order
not only added laurels to their well
earned record but showed their reveren-
