AS TO THE FIGHT RACE RIOTS
Comparisons may be odorous az
Shakespeare wrote, or odious as most
people put it, but contrasts are al
ways interesting. None have devel-
oped of late which are more so than
the race clashes and riots which oc-
Cured in various cities of the coun-
try when the news was flashed broad
cast that Johnson defeated Jeffries,
and the lack of such disturbances in
other cities where many negroes make
up a considerable part of the popu-
lation.
Murder and bloodshed resulted
from several arguments between
whites and blacks over the outcome
of the fight in cities in the east, the
north and the south and in some
places in the west. But so far a re-
port has yet to come in that there
was any kind of a disturbance of
this character in any of the cities of
Kansas. There is large negro popu-
lation in most of the Kansas cities.
Take Topeka, for instance. With
population of $4,000, It is conserva
lively estimated that 10000 of this
number are negroes. All of them
were just as enthusiastic supporters
of Johnson as were the negroes in
any part of the country. On the other
hand, it is safe to say that the great
majority of the white men in Topeka
who paid any attention at all to the
prize fight were sympathizers of JEFF
fries and hoped that he would win.
But the news of the outcome of the
fight did not create single disturb
ance here between any individual
white or black or any gangs of them.
The same is true of the other good
sized cities in Kansas. No disturb
ances of any kind were reported even
in Kansas City. Kan. but just across
the river in Kansas City, Mo-, there
was more or less rioting, although
none of 1t resulted quite so seriously
as it did in other cities. and cities
where the proportion of negroes in
the population is not nearly as large
as it is in many of the Kansas cities.
What's the answer Without
shadow of a doubt one of the chief
reasons is that saloons and joints are
not in operation in Kansas and there
is no such thing here as a promis-
cuous sale of liquor. Probably there
is no way of putting the matter to
test, but If an investigation could be
made it is reasonably certain 1t would
show that wherever there were seri-
GUS riots and fights between whites
and blacks over the Johnson-Jeffries
fight. the participants in them were
either intoxicated men or men par
TALLY under the influence of liquor.
And so, If there is no objection. an
other good mark will be scored up

They have added that this is serious
hindrance to the much needed devel-

compilation of the new stocks and
bonds which have been sold by twenty
six of the railroads of the country

value aggregates $46e, $4,000. That
doesn't appear to indicate very hard

Millions Misspent By Easy Marks

Three hundred thousand dollars of easy money pour into the
offices of fraudulent mining stock brokers OF New York every day.
according to conservative estimates made by Post Office Inspector
Warren ". Dickson, in charge of the New York division. In the
last three years 100000, 900 has been flched from the pockets OF
small investors and women. Thirty million dollars went into the
Golfers OF one concern alone. A hundred million went to all OF
them during the panic of 1907.
The estimate is that the fraudulent operations this year will
be $4,000. 900 and the figures are on the increase.
A so called suckers list" bearing the names of 100000 who
have "bt' and will probably bite again, is the most-prized asset o
the big concerns that do the business Under a working "under-
standing they all have access to the same list Of victims.
The magnitude of the fraudulent operations concentrate a
strong force in opposition to the bogus mining concerns. Inspector
Dickson, formerly stationed at ST. Louis, who was the first man to
put a check on the 'green goods" game has been placed in charge
of the New York department As a warning to the suckers" he
has told about Suckers Directory"
"Down in Pine street" he says, "there is to-day a well furnish
ed Office, most conservative in appearance, the Suckers Directory
of the fraud gang. The man in charge of the office has never been
suspected of his calling, and none of his associates believe that il
is anything but legitimate. L am informed that the list of names is
now nearing the quarter million mark, and growing daily. As soon
as the concern puts out more literature, they consult the directory
in order to get quick returns. Whenever a new victim bites his
name is added to the list.
"Some day soon 1 hope the people whose names are on this
list will know how they are considered by the men who have taken
their money. The list is arranged after the fashion of a Dun Oh
Bradstreets directory.
at seems that all a company has to do is to have a full page
in a metropolitan paper advertising a bonanza, then scatter smaller
advertisements through the country periodicals, usually reproducing
the New York advertisements, with the statement: Look wha
New York thinks of our investment, for the money to begin to pour
in. The Suckers Directory does the rest. There are skyscrap
ers in this city where bags OF United States mail are carried il
every day laden with checks and money orders, and not one penny
oft gets ontside the pockets of the promoters"

One of Nevada Needs

Elko Independent: One of the things the incoming Legislature
should do is to provide a suitable place for the confinement of
youthful criminals. Every State, except Nevada, has a reformatory
for incorrigible boys and girls, and such an institution is badly
needed here. Our jails and penitentiary are not fit places for the
confinement Of young criminals. There they are brought in direct
association with hardened criminals and the chances of their re-
form arr greatly lessened.
Many a boy and girl who start off wrong could be shown the
error of their ways and started on an upward career that would
make useful citizens, if sent to a reform school instead Of to our jans
and penitentiary.
maintenance Of such an institution would not be a heavy drair
upon her citizens. Even if it were a burden, the people would be
richly compensated by the good that would be accomplished. W.
commend such an institution to the careful consideration of the
next Legislature.
