Trust and Telling Them
Where to Head in

Columbus, o.,J uly 16.-Attorney
General Denman had dozen big
coal operators of northern Ohio on
the carpet for nearly two hours to-
day. He told them they must dis
solve an agreement by which. they
buy and sell coal at certain fixed prices
or he would start action against
them under the antitrust laws.
George NJ. Jones, Independent op-
orator of Toledo, told Denman that
he had been invited to enter the agree
ment with larger operators by which
he would be guaranteed a price of
ninety-five cents ton at the mine
for his coal

JOHNSON'S VICTORYY.

The victory of Jack Johnson over
jim Jeffries in a prize fight in Reno.
New, last Monday has caused a great
commotion in this county. We fall
u see why it should be so. The Ne
gloes are of course proud of j. Arthur
Johnson, but they are not going to
lose their minds because he won the
victory. If the daily papers would
stop publishing the groundless rumors
about riots and near-riots the matter
would 0 be forgotten.
The latest agitation about the NOV

daily press is making. 1t is a case

thrown open. Billboards were COW

WESTERN VIEW.
CThe Chicago Tribune.l

N1MO 0hAAO6O A4banSsl
The late Mr.. Jeffries seems to have
been unable to suppress what might
be called the Smoke Nuisance. The
details of his ~endeavors make a sooty
recital in the columns of this norm
ing's papers, and much gloom is sup
posed to have taken up its abode in
the dismal hearts of the white race.
Nevertheless we shall insist on
cheering up. Little Arthur Johnson,
a perfect specimen of smoked Amer,
lean, is king of fistcuffs, but we OBJ
served that the colored porters in a
neighboring palace or r~efreshment,
into which many supporters of the
Indefinitely Postponed White Mans
Hope had plunged abruptly for moral
support, were proceeding about their
tasks with the same courtesy, placid
ity and good nature with which they
had discharged their tasks before the
fatal announcement of the unpleasant
finish to the Reno celebration of a
Sane Fourth. We observed no indi-
cations of %untoward doings and we
nourish no fears that the republic is
lettering uncertainty on lis founda-
tions.
We are confident that the banks VIII
open to-day as usual, that the mer-
chant. revived by two days release
from toll, win show his happy and
pleasant face behind his counter,
that the toiler will present himself
good-naturedly at his work, and that
the world will wag along with its
usual aches, pleasures and pains.
Our optimism may be unjus1fied,
but we are content. To the many
who deplore that such things as
prize-fghts occur we even have a
word of encouragement. 1t is appar-
ent that for a few years at least the
white portion of this free republic are
about to lose an interest in pugilism.
Little Arthur has made it necessary
for us to look to intellectual employ
ments for the racial superiority in
the sensations of which we luXur1ate.
It is apparent now that prize-fight1ng
is an ignoble pursuit. In a few years a
big white man may come along with
the vigor of youth, the constitution OF
a section of the western Cordilleran
range and a punch like the discharge
of a ~twelve-inch gun, and raise the
standards of the ring, out for the
present we must abandon 1t. Little
Arthur has made it impossible for us
to remain interested in the pugilistic
profession. Even Nevada now may
repeal it's prize-fight laws.
Mr.. Jeffries seems to have been
the victim of something like the law
bf gravitation. AS one shrewd OBJ
server of muscular performances

absent from any profession.

edge. The man is an unknown equa-
ton. He is a modern Samson, but,
unlike the old Israelite, he can be
neither coaxed nor deceived by per-
sistent and ~tireless inquisitors into
telling the secret of his great
strength or wonderful stamina.
Well, the Jeffries, prognosticators,
SC othsayers, astrologers, hoodooers
and conjurers fell down, from pima
Gle to curbstone with no intervening
and friendly obstruction to break the
force of their fall. 1t was a clean
descent, as it were in a vacuum,
with every particle of the law OF
gravity working as by a charm. The
world heard Them drop, and the noise
they made was a dull thud, n of
those sickening sights that makes the
heart of the spectator beat rapidly
as he turns away his eyes to keep
from witnessing the impact. 1t was
awful for the fellows who were bub-
bling over with a confidence that was
akin to certainty when the end came.
With the shattering of their idol went
their reputation as prophets and their
filthy lucre. Their odds against John
son were like his odds as a peerless
gladiator over Jeffries.
The world, the entire world, from
center to periphery, knows all about
that "yallow streak" of Johnson's. 1t
runs rampant through ever fibre OF
his being-he is surcharged with 1t.
There are those who are permanently
divorced from every dime they had,
whose name and numbers are legion,
who now devoutly wish that Jeffri IS,
their idol end defender, had possessed
an equal amount of the "yalloW
streak" that romps through or plays
hide and seek in Johnson's anatomy.
From the story of the battle, as
written by friends Of J%effries, it is idle
to even try to c%onjure up the belief OF

the limit of his original forty-five
rounds as scheduled.
AS by an exact rule, Jack Johnson
consistently, persistently, irresistibly,
coldly and methodically beat Jim JEFF

pedestal, then into contrite submits
siveness and finally into pitiable in
sensibility. This is the story his
friends tell to the world in their ac-
count of the meeting of the two men
III what was to be "the battle Of the
centuries"
Jim Corbett with his fippant jeer-
ing was no match for the repartee of
smiling, confident Jack. While Cor
bett was trying to d~isconcert and rat
tie Jack, the latter was sysmati-
cally cutting Jeff to pieces. He was
breaking Corbett's heart even more
than that of the nan he was facing
by that awful left hand which had
been SO much ridiculed and derided.
He had always fooled and he more
than fooled them here. Beside Jacks
left Jeffries' left was that of a child's.
Jacks master mind and his strategy
had won again. His traps " spring
in vain. Never!
The defeat Of J~effries, like a hide
Gus nightmare, will for a long time
disturb the minds and dreams OF
many, but none as much as Corbetts;
ard with some it will, to their dying
day, rise up and stalk abroad, like
a sheet ghost, to haunt their memory.

with some an oppressive truth, that
its heavyweight champion is, without

conditions should be met in a pa
triotic way. The Negro should
be eliminated, he should not be
merely shelved to be dormant un-
til needed by a faction of the
whites. He should not be a factor
of the smallest denomination. He
should be down and out. Follow
the plan of Hoke Smith, of Geor-
gia, who said: The Negro don't
vote. but he can vote, and because
he does not vote when he a
vote let us fix him so that he can't
vote when he wants to vote, and
by so doing place u state in a
position to insure a white mans
government whichever political
party wins. Georgia followed his
advice and the Negro was elimi-
mated"
The fact that this communication
was accepted by the Banner is evil
dence that there are others who think
as the writer. There is no danger Of
Negroes dominating the State of Ten
nessee for the next thousand years to
come. and if they do after that length
of time no body should care. The
truth of the matter is there are some
pretentiously righteous individuals in
this commonwealth who are bent on
mischief, and such suggestions as
Voter puts forth are straws thai
show the drift of that under current.
On the 18th, 14th and 18th of this
month the registration books will be
open. Every Negro who has a spark
of manhood should register if he has
not done so. If you fail to register
you may have cause to regret it before
another twelve months.
