Washington Attorneys Views.

Washington attorney in commune
cation 10 this paper, takes the following
view OF the matter:
Have We not suddenly become just a
bit pharasaicaI about this Jeffries-John-
son business? For the conservation OF
peace and decency, we are exhorted TO
forbid the moving pictures of the fight
But the very newspapers urging this to-
day were five DAYS ago loaded 10 the
guards with talk and dispatches and COS
sip and pictures of the fight that was TO
be. The personalities of the two combat
ants were the dominant personalities Of
the press of the country. Everybody
foresaw that, If Johnson won, precisely
what has happened would happen. But
it was the big fight and it held the
front page.
It is not pertinent to inquire how much
of this popular excitement and clamor
would have existed without the fostering
and stimulation of the press. Even now
the very issue in which We are entreated
Ito hasten the return of common sense"
devotes two columns to idle gossip and
comment on the fight. If We are TO bar
Associations DO Not Join.
The following letter bearing on the fight
pictures controversy Is self-explanatory:

Herald.-Not one Of the preachers asso-
Citations which protest against the pic
lures joined with the colored associations
when similar movement was made
against THE Clansman." The news
papers Censured the colored people for
the movement claiming that no good
could come from 1t, and that 1t was only
advertising the play, Here, where such
strong opposition is shown to the fight
pictures, there could be found no law TO
stop the play. neither by the Commits
sioners nor the police.
There would be 10 agitation if Jeffries
had won. The cOlOred people would have
had to grin and bear 1t.
The race issue was started bv those
who disliked negro champion and set
up a clamor for Jeffies to come back
and bring the championship back to the
white race, Ae statement similar to this
was made at the time Jeffries made his
appearance here by one of his managers
Now. when the white hope" failed some
who lost few dollars tried to make up
their loss by illtreating negroes.
This disorder was not started by ne
groes- Negroes all over this country
knew of Joe Cans defeat by Battling
Nelson, b tuthere was no race trouble.
1t seems funny that the great Anglo
Saxon race is such a poor lose. They
made his fight; they made the race is
sue; they made the odds on this issue
and they lost, Now why ali this hue and
croy about it? Stopping the pictures will
not do away with the fact that johnson
won and did not lay down, as some of
them expected. The pictures may be de-
moalizing. but not so much as Iynching
ana burning negroes. Why not raise
voice against this?

CITIZENSHIP AND PUBLIC

Responsibility for Public Health
Our Greatest Civic Respon-
sibility.
The essential difference Ec-
tween the citizen and the savage
is the expression in his daily
routine by the former of the
principle, mo man liveth unto
himself" This biblical axiom is
the basis of civilization, because
it expresses a relation that law
defines and controls. 1t naturally
follows that the clearer our men
tai perception, the more distinct
ly will we recognize the many
and subtitle bonds that unite our
| fortunes or our fates into web
of veal or woe. knowledge gives
acuteness of mental vision, and,
therefore, it is knowledge that
opens the gates of a higher civil
ization and gives to him who de-
sires the opportunity to become
a better citizen.
The relation of one mans pro-
perry to another's is easily recog-
nized, and is firmly established up-
on universally accepted principI, s
of civil law. The relation of one
mans life to another's has only
within the last half century been
established upon principles of
: natural law. But, as yet.
the knowledge of these natur;
laws has not been widely enoug n
disseminated to produce sufficient
public sentiment to weld them
into our statutes.
Mans greatest civic obligation
is to the public health. This
sounds like the exaggeration of
an enthusiast. Nevertheless, it

fundamental principles of law
that for over four thousand years

Short Skirts or Lonu7

There can be no doubt that the real.
ly short skirt has thoroughly estab
lished itself this spring. Of course.
for walking and all outdoor games it
is delightful and most sensible
fashion, but there is some question as
to its beauty and suitability where the
dressy afternoon frock or evening
toilet is concerned. For the quite
young woman who is still in her teens.
or has recently quilted them, the short
frock looks girlish and pretty, and is,
moreover, very practical and comfort
able. But with the older woman it is
quite a different matter She looks
simply ridiculous in these fashionable
curtailed skirts, and. far from giving
her a girlish appearance, they add
years to her apparent age.

OF course, American girls are no.

Summer Vegetables,

So many of our summer vegetables
such as peas, string beans, squash
corn and roots are simply boiled and
served with butter or milk. With the
exception of cabbage and its kin. all
vegetables should be cooked in as lit
tie water as possible and used in the
sauce when serving as the flavor and
mineral constituents ere drawn out in
the water during the cooking.
Boiling water should be used to
cook all tender vegetables. Change
the manner of their serving so that a
variety is always on your table. When
there is more of the liquid left in cook
ing vegetables than can be used in
serving them, save it for soups. stews.
and such dishes.
