FROM THE FIELD.


tween the Caucasian and the African
came off on schedule time at Reno,
Nevada | find real gentlemen whose
race prejudice causes them to re-
greet that Sambo retains the belt,
she possession Of which depends upon
cunning, brute force and physical
endurance. ] do not see why any
white man should grieve because tC-
days little encounter between Mr..
Jeffries and Mr., Joilnsing Aemonstra-
e1 the fact that negro had more
brute force than white man. AS TO-
me am rather proud that | am not
a member OF the OK race. A symetri-
cally formed, agile, strong young man
Is attractive to the eye but | have
never thought human strength great
| er than that which Is necessary to en-
able one to pull hoe from morn
ing to night without great fatigue
was practical and | know one of these
Taurus neckcd giants do not gener-
ally show that high degree of re-
finement which characterizes our
great moral leaders. | have never
known one of them to make any
great name as leaders in the realin
of thought. The Jeffries-J Johnson
| combat was a contest between to alb
normally developed animals. When
| was boy | used to watch win
much interest the combats of the
| cattle that grazed upon our broad
prairies. | have seen the herder OF
the mustangs meet and settle Their
differences. | have always stopped to
see chicken fight pulled off by the
participants themselves and | never
get very nervous when two active,
strong men settle some dispute with
their fists. But when | read of the
bull getting a man in bull fight !
am forced to hurrah for the bull. !
| think one. of the most savage sports
of not civilized but semi-civilized
man Is the rigging of chickens with
steel spurs and wagering on the one
| that will butcher the other one.
| hold my breath when | read of a no.
BILE steed carrying his master out-of
danger or carrying warning to a
| threatened community but | have
| nothing but pity for a stable of rams
| drawn and handaged so that a few
| mad enthusiasts may shrek and yell
| themselves hoarse while dumb
brute Is forced to over eXertion for
the chance of picking up few pal
try dollars. In this great moral and
intellectual exhibition today pulled
off at Reno | cannot for the life of
| me sympathize with the white man
because when he challenged Sambo
| he tacitly admitted that he belonged
| in the same class. A white man who
| will go into the ring and box, clinch
and hug a negro deserves no more
consideration than the negro and in
| because of the fact that Johnson is of
| the very lowest type of negro as is
shown by the fact that he got so low
| as to marry white woman who was
| so depraved that she would marry a
| negro. When white man puts him
self in class with a coon my race
| prejudice is gone so far as he is con-
| cerned. / have never been disposed
| to be very hard on negro crap
| shooter but think a white man that
| will toss the bones with coon should
| be sent to the penitentiary. To sum
up the whole situation | can not re-
frain from partially exulting in the
| fact that Texas has produced fin
| er, stronger and more cunning brute
| than California, so am little in
clined TO be puffed up with state
pride. II has been suggested that the
| outcome of the fight will lead 10
| more impudence on the part of some
| of these young negroes who are dis
posed to get too gay and result in
| the untimely death of few crap
shooters, for the field hand negro sell
dom gives trouble. If such be the case
we are not to blame besides from the
present trend of events unless some
radical change takes place, unless
there comes a decrease in the awful
crimes of the vicious elements of the
| race there is going to be an awful
day of reckoning some of these
days and the innocent will suffer
with the guilty. This is probably a
little mixed but 1t means that as an
animal the negro is superior to the
white, that he who classes himself
with the negro takes his chances and
that strong intellect and good NOR
ais are rather to be chosen as the
characteristics Of ruling race than
brutal physical force.
