Reno. June, 26.-Whatever may be said
in criticism OF Jack Johnson's determine
ton to ignore his trainers and TO surround
himself constantly with those who viii
entertain him, there is one thing that
must be handed TO the negro: He is
doing the right kind of boxing to get in
shape for next Mondays bout.
In fact, It is not boxing, II is more like
downright fighting The negro, who has
been accused by many Of being unable to
stand the gaff, certainly shows no faint
heartedness in his bouts with his boxing
partners.
These are certainly the real thing.
know because I not only watched him
through a series Of these exchanges, but
examined him afterward. Every day
Johnson really does as much lighting as
would go into an ordinary bout.
This boxing means from ten to fifteen
rounds day. He orders his men TO
come at him for all they are worth and
TO hit him as hard as they know how,
and they certainly do it.
JOhnsOn's Husky Antagonist.
Instead of having veterans with only
reputation on their side, Johnson has
| picked out a bunch OF husky youths who
are strong, have stamina, and can punch.
None Of the number is clever or knows
a whole lot about the boxing game except
| "Ar' Kaufman, who, while not much Of
a boxer, has had some experience. is
strong, and is in splendid shape. He
has benefited a whole lot by his work
with Johnson and is a much-improved
fighter.
The fighting is the toughest kind inn
agfnable, hammer and tongs all the time.
| There is no fOoling about this ring
work, and II there is any chance for the
negro to down the white man It is en-
tirely because Of the amount of hard
ringwork he has done.
Johnson looks great His skin is like
q piece Of polished ebony, clean, soft, and
not m the least bit drawn His eyes are
clear and bright, and his heart is in
good shape.
Most impressive OF all is his judgment
| OF distance. This is simply perfect He
| hardly ever misses a punch. He does
not often let one go, seeming TO pick
out his openings with the greatest care,
but when he launches a blow it nearly
| always gets 70 the mark
This is only natural. however, for II
Is TO be remembered that Johnson has
been fighting right along and has had
no chance 10 get rusty, as has Jeffries
It is noticeable. too. how differently
the men carry themselves in the ring
Jeffries. in spite Of his greater bulk, is
much lighter on his feet than the negro
who carries himself around fat-footed.
in the old-fashioned way Jeffries is
constantly on his toes. This gives greater
speed. bat is undoubtedly more firing
than the other way OF fighting

that this is equivalent to a hard ten

WOMEN ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE
 FOR IMMORAL PLAYS AND BOOKS

New York; October 30.-(Special. .)-Are women responsible for the immoral play and novel?
 This question was asked and answered at the twenty-third convention of the New York City Federation of Women's S clubs Mrs. Theodore Roberts discoursed upon the literary phase of the question and Miss Amelia Bingham upon the dramatic. It was unequivocally decided that women are not responsible for plays end books of an immoral character. tury should rest on the shoulders of man alone.
 "women may write immoral stories, but men live them,'' declared Mrs. Rob- erts.
 DO immoral plays fiourish?' queried Miss Bingham. "Not for long; women do not patronze them and they would not flourish at all If it were not for men,"
 q sometimes wonder" said Mrs. Rob- erts, what has become of the other nine commandments. There seems to be but one left when we speak of anything being immoral; so at least there is apparently out one commandment that men would make women obey. Indeed, they are so willing to help us to obey 1t they shut us up in harems, and protect us that we may not be submitted to temptations For myself, have always suspected that mans so-called protection of woman was but the means he took to keep her

CITIZENS CONDEMN
 REGENT LAWLESSNESS

"Incalculab1e harm has already beer done the city. commercially as well as morally, by the lawless action of cer- tain citizens last week. said w. N Malone, and the quicker the present agitation ceases the better 1t will be fol the community. I believe 1t was neces- sary for the people to take the deter mined attitude they did, however, and wish to add my voice to those of the number who have expressed themselves in condemnation of the affair.
 q have had practical illustration of the harm which can come to the bus such ruffianly demonstrations. They affect the reputation of the city. They give other and rival cities opportunity to knock which they have certainly not failed to do of late since the cen sus figures were announced. high moral status of community has It's due commercial value, fact which every man of business knows, and the reverse is no exception.
 q have great faith in the ability of our public officials, though, and believe that if anything of the nature or mass meeting is held it will be only for the purpose of letting Mayor Exum and other city and county officials know that the people are behind them in their honest efforts to enforce the law I know Mayor Exum thoroughly, and believe in him."
 Circuit Judge A. O. Lane said There can be but one opinion among law-abiding people, and that is one of condemnation. It Is not a question however, as between prohibition and nti-prohibition. It is a question as be- tween lawlessness on the one hand and peaceable citizenship on the other.
 q think public meeting in regard to the matter would be mistake. We have competent officials and I have no doubt that all will be done that should be done in the premises"

from seeing what he was doing"
 gro be sure," continued Mrs. Roberts "It is said most of our so-called immoral books are written by women. But fl women write them men live them.
 "As matter of fact. though, 1t Is hard to decide what is a.-l is not an im- moral book, opinions differ so. However 1t seems to me that a book which places in the heart desire for virtue, or en- genders a hatred of vice cannot be i'm moral, no matter how broad It's lines.
 "The most immoral literature is that which touches upon most sacred relations of life lightly. and all too often such a book is considered innocuous. Just re- member when the jealous or deserted wife is jestingly treated as an old trump, you are laughing when you laugh at her at the heart agony of another woman.
 This callous attitude toward suffer- ing has seemed to me to be one of the real menaces of our day.
 But to say women are responsible for immoral novels 1t utterly ridiculous. We should not be silent before the i'm plication, nor fear to discuss and an- swer it frankly
 "Very little is done or left undoue that woman Is not directly or indirectly re- sponsible for it," declared Miss Bingham, but one thing is sure, the American woman is not responsible for the inn moral play.
 Are there any immoral plays? Do they succeed? Of course they do not. And that is why? Because women don't go to them. few women go to see immoral plays through curiosity" concluded Miss Bingham, but such plays fail because they are only patronized by men,"
