ALAS, JACK JOHNSON
THE LESSON TAUGHT

Jack Johnson has been fined
81 900 for smuggling a dia-
mond necklace valued at So,-
900 into the United States.
Besides paying the thousand
dollar fine, he forfeited the
necklace to the Government
and was charged $40 costs
besides. He was then placed
on trial with a charge of white
slavery against him and after
fair trial, both from the
judge and jury, according to
him. was convicted on seven
counts. The Editor OF the
Fellowship Herald of Chicago
when speaking of Johnson,
says that | met Johnson a
few Sundays ago strolling
down State street. He was
alone. He attracted atten-
ton because he was head and
shoulders above any man who
passed him on the street. He
was dressed in a light gray
suit and had the appearance
of a well-to-do man, BUT he
did not look happy. Every
way that he turned, he was
bled for his money and he
has evidently found that life
is not bed of roses he ex-
pected it to be after he had
won the worlds champion
ship. The reason is not far
to see. Instead of using this
fortune, which came to him to
him to help the race with
which he is identified, he has
ignored it entirely. The Eel
lowship Herald presumed,
shortly after he first came
back, to advise him to es-
tablish a high class gym in
which he could reign as King,
and while entertaining the
sporting fraternity for the en-
tire world who would come to
him, he would also make it
possible for young colored
men to get the training need
ed along these lines. He knew
by his own experience that
the colored man had no show
in a gym. He knew also that
the Negro, possessing so much
stronger body than the whites,
could be fitted to develop
other champions and easily
establish for Negroes a record
for physical superiority. But
Mr.. Johnson could not see
it that way. He chose rather
to open saloon and to use
his prestige for the debase-
ment rather the up building

self out for life of unbridled
pleasure. with the result that
the whole world knows. Since
he has received this unenvia-
bic notriety, he has been cut
dead in the gym in which he
has heretofore been vel

It is a sign of progress along the

when the shriners will forge, or be re-

The Life Partnership.

If the common sense recommended
by Maude Radford Warren in Decem-
bcr Woman's World, could generally
prevail. the eugenic marriage crusade
would die of premature old age. In her
article she says
Mile all persons wish To be loSca
Efer themselves alone, there are many
who seem to have their power of loving
anieer adFirable control. They deter
smfne to choose life-partners laho have
plenty of money. Such people may
know great deal of happiness. though
it is not the high kind of happiness
such sas comes to those who are in
capable of the remotest sort of worldly
calculation 1t is better happiness, at
least, than comes to men and women
who marry for money solely. If these
know happiness at all, it is less than
that of the beasts of the field. and only
too often they pay heavy price Tor
their worldly comforts.
Yet, in the most disinterested mar
riage, something more than love has

ing TO make his way in the world, may
rot ask for wealth with the girl he
loves, but he has a right to expect
good kealth, good habits and sound
of housekeeping in all its
phases. He is marrying not only thej
woman he loves but business part
ner. from whom he should expect COM
peteacy. The girl is being loved for
herself alone but expertness should be,
a part of this self. A. young woman,
in making her marriage, may not ask
for money, but she should expect her
husband to have good health and hab-
its. certain work, and some savings.
He, too, being loved for himself alone.
but he should have too much self-re-
spect to offer a girl any less than a;
self.
To ask this much of life-partner Is
not sacrificing love to werldliness. 1t Is
showing due consideration to
the next generation.
