JUDGING from the newspaper re-
ports of the battle in Calgary
y the other night between Tom

world and Arthur Pelkey, the big
Chicopee Falls heavyweight, Burns is
in perfectly fit condition and has
every intention of going ahead with
his plans to battle Luther NCCartv,
present white champion. This con-
test originally was set for May 24tn.
and it is said that Burns intends to
begin billing it like a circus and to
make a big smash out of il. The willy
Thomas is going to advertise it for
miles around the Canadian Northwest
as being the first big championship
affair since the Reno nightmare.
Sporting writer's in Calgary grow
quite enthusiastic over Burns pres
ent condition and predict that he will
give McCarty the finest kind of a
battle because he shows all of his
old skill and force and believe he will
be even better by the time the con
test rolls around.
Burns has been out of active ring
service for such long time now that
il looks like an impossible task for
him to dig up enough stamina and
recuperative powers to stand long be-
fore a youthful battering ram from

PROHIBITION GOOD FOR NEGRO.
Booker Washington Tells of Benefits
of Dry Regime to His Race.

Booker T. Washington, educational
leader among the negroes of America,
in a strong article published in the
Nashville Banner, declares that Prohi-
bition is good for the people of his
race, and to substantiate his declara-
ton gives some figures which show
how crime has been reduced among
the colored people in states that have
pI ohibition statutes.
DR.. Washington writes:
Long years of observation have con-
WINGED me that strong drink is one of
the worst. evils that beset the negro.
If the money they spend annually for
strong drink was invested in property,
their wealth would be increased each
year by millions of dollars.
? Every since prohibition has been agi-
tated in the South 1 have been interes-
J - and have watched closely it's
effects upon the negro. My w OBJ
servation and the best information that
l can obtain convince M that prohi-
pition is a good thing for the negro.
Under prohibition he generally drinks
less of whiskey than he does when he
has access to licensed saloons. l am
| reliably informed that since the re-
striction of the sale of liquor in South
Carolina, drinking has visibly decreas-
ed among negroes. In Alabama, since
I prohibition went into effect, the
amount of liquor consumed by the col
cred people has been greatly reduced.
This / have observed to be especially
true in my own county.
Another thing that prohibition does
is to enable the negro to save more
money. In a single court in Atlanta,
since prohibition has gone into effect,
the fines imposed Upon negroes have
decrease so per cent annually. This
means that these same. negroes will
have that much more money to spend
for food, clothing and to invest in
property.
Another thing the prohibition has
done has been to reduce crime. l find
| tLat it is true that wherever there IS
Prohibition, crime among the colored
people has decreased. Chief Justice
Walter Clarke, of the supreme court
of North Carolina, says that since the
statewide prohibition law has gone
into effect in that state crime has been
reduced SO per cent; murder in the
first degree, 80 per cent; larceny, 80
per cent; burglary, 20 per cent; at
tacKs with deadly weapons, 80 per
cent; manslaughter, "a per cent; MUIR
der in the second degree, 35 per cent.

In same instances, according tt Chief
Justice Clarke, crimes have decreased
more than 60 per cent since Prohibi-
ton.
l find that in Columbus, Ga, negro
arrests after prohibition went into eff
feet, decreased rs per cent.
l recently made investigation of The
effects Of prohibition upon crime i'll
Alabama. l sen out inquiries II
sheriffs, chiefs of police, and recorders
of police courts, asking their opinion
as to the chief causes of negro crime
aid the effects of prohibition upon
negro crime. The majority of these
replies show that strong drink is the
chief cause of crime among the ne
groes of the state. These statements
were corroborated by the report Of
the state attorney general, which
shows that So per cent of all murders
in the state were due to strong drink.
The effects of prohibition upon
crime among my race has, in MANY
instances, been remarkable. In nv
own county, in Alabama, crime has
been reduced 60 per cent since proht-
bition went into effect in the county
four years ago. In many other coun-
ties in the state there has been a like
reduction in the amount of crime.
When everything, therefore, is consid-
cred, it appears that prohibition is an
| excellent thing for the negro.
