WASHINGTON
SAYS WHITES GAVE
JOHNSON GLORY
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
TUsKEGEE. Ala Oct 2i.-while
Jack Johnson's present predicament,
is in the opinion of Booker T. Wash.
ington. noted negro educator. an ex-
ample OF the almost irreparable in
jury that wrong action on the part
of a single individual may do to a
whole race" the head Of Tuskegee
pointed out. in a statement prepared
for the United Press today that it was
white men who gave Johnson the
kind OF prominence he now enjoys IN
the United States.
The complete statement is as fol-
lows:
BY BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
Jack Johnsons case will be set
tied in due time in the courts Until
the courts have spoken, I do not care
to either defend or condemn him.
can only say that this Is another H.
lustration Of the almost irreparahlo
injury that a wrong action on the
part Of a single individual may do a
WnOlc race.
II shows the folly OF these persons
who think that they alone will be
held responsible for the evil that they
do. No one can do so much Injury
to the negro race as the negro him
self.
This will seem to many persons I'M
Just but no one can doubt that Il is
true. What makes the situation seem
little worse in this case is the fact
that il was the white man. not the
black man who has given Jack John
son the kind Of prominence he has
enjoyed up to now and In other words
put him In a position where he has
been able 10 bring humiliation upor
the whole race of which he is a mem.
ber ! do not believe IL is necessary
for me to say that the honest sober
element of the negro people of tho
United States is as severe in con.
domination of the kind of immortality
with which Jack Johnson is at pres.
ent charged as any other portion oi
the community
