not be governed by the success or
failure Of those around you, but try
to discover the proportion to the

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
THE FIGHT PICTURES.

AT the time When the passion Of
the races was near the danger point,
The Advocate purposely refrained
from discussing the propriety Of eX
hibiting the pictures Of the Johnson
Jeffries prize fight, and it would not
have taken a part at this time in
the controversy but for the cartoon
which appears OF the first page of
this issue.
TO say that the cartoonist has
pictured the sentiments Of the great
majority Of the Negro people in this
country would be to state truism.
They fully appreciate the good in
tentiOns Of many who have taken
stand against the exhibition Of the
pictures on the theory that bitter
feeling might be engendered between
the races if they were displayed, but
they know that the motive of the
great majority is not so much to
preserve the peace as it is to save
themselves from a fancied humilia-
ton.
The reading world, in fact, all
those who would be likely to see the
pictures, know the fight down to the
least detail. The newspapers saw to
that, but no effort was made to sup
press the papers, which alone were
responsible for the disgraceful acts
following the announcement Of John
sons victory.
The thoughtful, peace-loving Neg
70 citizen will not object to the sup
preston of the pictures, but he is
experiencing some difficulty in squar-
ing with his ideas of fair-play the
Widespread tolerance Of Dixon S
Clansman and moving pictures OF
lynchings in the very cities and
states which are making the loudest
howl against the films showing how
Jeffrles went down to defeat Har-
monious relations between the races
should be cultivated by all means,
but would not the effort have a less
selfish hue if it were directed to-
ward more glaring irritants? Could
not the Texas governor and mayors,
for instance, show more convincinly
their desire for peace between the
races by cOndcmning in as loud
terms the recent butchery Of thirty
or more defcnscless Negroes as they
expressed their opposition to the
fight, pictures?
Truly, worse things happen every
DAY under our noses, but bad as they
are, their very frequency seems tt
have blunted the public conscience
When once it has accustomed itselt
to a Negro heavy weight prize fight
er, it will doubtless view the picture.

Germ it looks upon the lynching 0

W4AI.-SCAbING Flea T..
OF the T'wenty-Fifth infantry Is
Mighty Near the Record.

Tacoma, Wash, July 29-Com-

THE NATIONAL NEGRO EDUCA-
TIONAL CONGRESS.

To be perfectly frank in the out
set. The Advocate does not see the
necessity for the organization named
above, believing as it does that the
work which it hopes to accomplish.
could easily be done by some OF the
man. similar bodies now in existence
among us. The territory and aims
Of the National Negro Educational
Congress are occupied and exploited
by the National Association Of Teach
ers in Coiored Schools and the Ma
tional Negro Business League, but,
perhaps, thinking there is always
room for another, the promoters OF
the Missouri movement have launch
ed their bark, and a right staunch
one it appears to be.
\ look over the subjects they pro-
pose for discussion will convince the
doubling that lack of confidence is
certainly not among their shortcom-
lngS. The scope of their program
leaves nothing to be desired and;
If anything, the program will be
found too comprehensive for a three
days session. Whether it is or not,
the promoters Of the National Negro
Educational Congress show a laud-
able effort to lessen the burdens Of
the race, and The Advocate wishes
them God speed in their work.
