ALL DONE WITH
HIS TWO FISTS
Jack Johnson's Rise Was
Little Short of Marvellous
Also His Fall

In the career of Jack Johnson, nov
elists and those fond Of psychological
study could find thought. food and in
%tellectual shelter while digging out an
answer to the old question regarding
the effect of environment on the HUI
man character-or the inhuman char
acter. Years and years ago this CAL
weston coon entered upon the humble
and simple phase Of his character.
From h wharf of Galveston he grad
uated and also g%ravitated to the class
of cheap fighter. willing to battle for
a can Of beer. In those days beer was
a luxury and fri d chicken. even IL
cold and from the table of some we'll
fed family. was an event OF distinct
and widely separated importance.
For years and years this state Of
got little money for hie fights and his
fights were often few and far between.
1t was only a few short years ago Jack
johnson climbed from the state of ex-
treme nervousness before meal times
to the blase and naughty state of mind
that the public has known him since
the defeat Of poor little Tommy Burns.
The character Of the smoke has de-
veloped from that Of a simple and
stble black. gorged with self import
ance and Intoxicated with adulation
and believing that the. world spins on
the axis of his personality.
They say that the other day in Paris
former President Diaz Of Mexico
turned the johnson person down some-
sc~ruptiouely. After meeting several
kings Of several petty places over
Europe way. John Artha added the
Irresistible idea to his bundle Of handi-
caps.
The day las not long ago when the
big black would smile with childish
happiness when told he was going to
eat. To add the can of beer to the
feast caused heaven to seem far off
and a thing of infinite immaterialism.
Now we have the POI Of some East
Indian prince. automobiles decorated
with gold. stopping short at a crest of
arms: expensive suites in hotels.
champagne. clothes Of the finest IA
brics. the entertainment of royalty
and a white wife.
Surely those deep and sober proved
students of character and conditions
that bear on the character must admit
that dear old environment. with his
rebuffs. slaps and kicks. can change
the character muchly. Horace. and
make things. seem az II they were not.

rms was the substance of a startl-
ing address made by Prof. Charles
Zueblin formerly professor Of sociolo-
gy at the University of Chicago before
the University Extension society at
Witherspoon hall. and several hundred
women applauded vigorously. A UNI
ber OF others. however. showed their
d~isapproval by keeping silent. Fur
Their on he said:
No woman in America can stay at

when women could sit by the hearth

teal and social progress to men have
passed. The quicker women realize
this h better for themselves, their
families and the country.
The old fashioned woman is not
n out Of place in the world today.
but is immoral. 1t is argued that a
mother belongs to her children and
her place is by their side in the home.
She does belong to her children. But
now is she to safeguard their water,
their milk and food supply If she new

Not even the most rabid antisuf-
1raS!st dareS to say that women lack
sufficient intelligence to vote. Nearly
all u civic leagues are manned by
women. They are doing the work left
undone by men. They are devotine
more time n thought to civic and
social problems han men. In fact the
political platforms drawn up by the
National Federation OF Women's clubs
are twenty years ahead of anything
ever proposed by the great parties.
The work performed by our high
schools is farrical. Students are turn

ments of culture and totally unfit for

soon begin to give up students trained
to use their hands. eyes and mind in
inventive or creative work and with
a sound. rounded and complete Gull
ture. America will never be able to
compete successfully with Germany
for the trade of the world.
"One of the greatest sources OF
waste of human energy in America is
the effort to fit square pegs into round
holes. Boys and girls are constantly,
getting into ron occupations. A
job is not the goal of life. but a
right job is. We must have vocation

reaus."
