"Hope" is the title and the lead.
ing note in q new motion picture film
which will be released for exhibition
on November 18th, by Thomas A Edi-
son, working in cooperation with The
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. The
scenario Of the picture was written
especially for the anti-tuberculOsis
campaign by James Oppenheim, and
the film will be used during the next
six weeks as a special feature Of the
Red Cross Christmas Seal Sale.
The story, as portrayed by Mr.. OF
penheim, tells of a young banker in
little New York town by the name Of
John Harvey and of his bOOkkeePer
Wells, with whose daughter Edith the
banker is in love. A few weeks before
the holiday season, Harvey one day
receives a letter and some literature
from The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis,
asking him to engage in tuberculosis
campaign in his district, to form com
mittee to sell Red Cross Christmas
Seals, and to work for the erection OF
local sanatorium. He shows the ma
terial to his old bookkeeper and both
the men laugh at the idea that
country district need engage in such q
fight. tuberculosis, they believe, IS
thing only of the city slums. Care
less and unthinking, however, "eH

men, who violate the laws Of morality
and deeeney in a brazen-faeed manner
and the laws which they have them
selves enacted for the separation of
the races, justify their more than bar
barous conduct in burning the Negro
at the stake in the presence Of thirty
to fifty thousand people, including
men, women and little children, on the
theory that no Negro must ever be per-
mitted to touch any kind Of a white
woman, when they, the white gentle
men, set the example and encourage
him to do so, by their open and
notorious and unlawful relations with
Colored women.
1t is unnecessary TO travel to the
fair Southland to find immoral houses
filed with Colored women for the en-
tertainment Of white gentlemen, for
they are located in many of the North
ern cities. It is a well known fact
that two Of this kind of houses are
located in the neighborhood Of Twenty
FIRST and Dearborn streets, in the red
light district, and for q number Of
years they have been filed with the
most beautiful and the youngest Of Col
ored girls, for the amusement Of white
gentlemen. Some Of these girls that
have been obtained for these houses
by the two Colored women that con-
duct them have been under the age
Of consent. But the reformers and the
advocates Of the strict enforcement Of
the white female slave traffic have
never paid the slightest attention to
these glazing facts.
Possibly those who have made 80
much fuss in the last two or three
weeks over Miss Lueile Cameron and
her wild conduct entertain the idea
that young COlOred girls, many of them
orphans, possess no rights which white
gentlemen are bound to respect, and
that they are created with no higher
mission on earth than to administer to
the unnatural passions Of these white
gentlemen.

The editor Of the Amsterdam News
has struck the bulls eye right square

Join a nationwide movement on the
part Of the Colored press for the pur'
pose Of hunting up undisputed evil
dence against all white gentlemen who
greatly delight to "mash," make love
to hug and kiss, and to sustain unlaw'
full relations with Colored women, and
to publish such cold facts to the world
For in our opinion that is the only
or the best way to stop them and the
rabid editors Of the daily newspapers
from shooting of their race prejudice
mouths against the whole COlOred
race simply because a few ColOred mel
here and there feel like coming in con
tact with a certain class Of white
women, while on the other hand, these

THE JACK JOHNSON HYsTER1A.

Without stint we have recently
criticised Jack johnson and with him
the other comparatively few Colored
men who, obtaining q small measure
Of worldly success, have wronged their
race by foolishly and needlessly going
out Of it to marry. "It has been too
often the case" we then said, "that
Colored men who have achieved
prominence have apparently sought
to forsake their race by taking as
the companion Of their bosom either
q CASTOR or mediocre woman from the
Caucasian race. Other Col
Ored men, if they would, cannot take
the bold Caucasian woman into their
family or social circles. White men
Of standing not only do not brook the
spectacle, they coneeitedly point to
the example as an evidence Of the
black mans lack of race pride, his
desire to be white and the general
unworthiness Of his race. The
number Of Colored women is legion,
1T both to honor and make happy the
home Of any man, however great or
good"
But even all Jack JOhnsons are free
men in this Republic. The mountain
that is being made out Of the mole
hill Of the young white WOman's al
legged fascination for the prize fighter,
in whose employ she had been for q
year, by the sensational anti-Negro
press Of the country is one Of the most
dastardly attempts upon the part of
the yellow press to foment race strife
throughout the country that this ma
tlon has recently seen Already some
red-eyed, shallow-pated Texan has
volunteered to lead one hundred other
silly sOutherners to Chicago to ehastise
Jack johnson Privately, we should
like to tip him on to not invade the
black belt Of the Windy City with
ten or one hundred times his present
select one hundred Texans. The rabid
snti-raee press, We fear, Is reckoning
without its host. Race wars come
soon and often enough without their
artificial manufacture While the
black pugiliSt Is not guilty Of abduet-
ing the 1s-year-old young woman, the
entire episode, not unlike those Of the
unheralded love Of scores Of white men
for cOlOred women, Is disgraesful, ut
terly unworthy the attention Of honest
white or black people. How silly It

SENSIBLE VIEW OF JACK
JOHNSON.

A. P. Tone Wilson, editor Of the K
Rays Democrat, the only Democratic
newspaper published in Topeka, Kan
sas, hits the nail square on the head in
the following editorial squib:
"Jack johnson, the Colored cham
pion pugulist Of the world, is in the
lime light once more. They claim he
has disgraeed Chicago. What q pity
to disgrace so pure q city. Better
see to the thousands of poor white
girls who are living in the underworld
Of Chicago and give Jack JohsnsOr
and the 10 year old White gal q rest
as she may not be worth the space she
is receiving in the press"
Too true, too true, Editor Wilson
when the real facts are known, respect
ing the fast conduct of Miss Cameron
long before she ever met Jack John
son, the people in Chicago and through
out the country will hang their deceit
full and their hypocriticsl heads in
shame when it fully dawns on theil
race prejudice and befuddled minds
that they permitted themselves to &c
crazy or mad not in behalf Of q pure
and innocent young lady; far from il
but they worked themselves up Il

Judge E. w. Helms has appointed
Orr1n Lord of Ellsworth receiver for

company. The court has also en-
tered another order restraining Ut
man from disposing of certain notes

out OF a contract entered into by
cary and Utman, it is alleged,
whereby Cary agreed to turn over
10 Utman certain shares of stock in
the clifton Electric Light and Power
company in return for notes and Sc
curltles that are now the basis of the
pending action. Before delivery was
made the dam of the company was
swept away by food and the power

the contract.

Washington, Jan. 4-"NOthing but
death can keep me out of the fight
now" President Taft made this state
ment to White House callers, and add
ed that he had no objection to the
statement being made public.
The president is thoroughly aroused
to the gravity of the situation in the
republican party and determined to let
his attitude be generally understood
He has declared that under no circum-
stances will he withdraw his name
from consideration by the Chicago
convention next June and has asserted
that his position with respect to the
nomination has not changed in particu-
lar since he first entered the White
House.
Mr. Taft has told friends and party
leaders from the first that if he should
be called upon to stand for reelection
he would be glad to do SO; that he
felt under obligations to the party if
it wanted him again.
It is vehemently denied at the White
House, that Mr.. Taft has sent any
messengers" to Mr.. Roosevelt on any
subject whatsoever.
The president has been urged for
weeks to make a more aggressive cam
paign in his own behalf. He has re-
piled that he did not think political
activity comported with presidential
dignity. He now has consented that
his friends carry forward the fight as
vigorously as they desire and he will
lend what assistance he properly can.
