Jack Johnson, Traitor

Jack Johnson, found guilty and sentenced to
q years imprisonment white slavery charge
is a traitor to his race.
His victory over the big, but passe Jim JEFF
fries at Reno two years ago made him a promi-
nent figure among the millions of his colored
brethren. Instead of using the power of his po-
sition to further by example the moral and in
telligent growth of his race, Johnson chose to in
suit not only the self respecting members of
his race, but all the races of the human family
by career of unexcelled depravity and moral
degeneracy He stultified his manhood in de-
grading sensuality and vicious immortality.
Unlike Booker T. Washington, whose prom
inence has come as the result of life devoted to
uplifting the plane of morality and intelligence
of his race, Johnson has gained final promi-
hence as moral leper, one to be Stunned by
all the races and to be put behind the bars as an
example and to rid society of his unwholesome
presence and his aptitude for wrong doing.

calcium, etc. And the elements, as we are taught
in chemistry, are absolutely indestructible.
Using Edisons logic, therefore, only carrying
it one step farther back we arrive at this con-
clusion namely, if the consciousness of the indi-
vidual is the sum of all the bodily cells con-
seriousness, then the consciousness of each indi-
vidual cell is the of its elements conscious
ness, and inasmuch as an element is indestructi-
BILE, so likewise is it's consciousness.
In other words, we may live everlastingly
through the elements of which our bodies are
composed.
Despite the fact that this elaboration and
transposition of the Edison theory may lead some
to accept the Hindu doctrine of the transn1igra-
ton of souls, since the elements have a well
known rule of entering into an infinity of new
combinations, most of us should gather so much
comfort from this scientific elucidation of this
end that is beginning, and to attain which we
spend our whole lives in eating and drinking and
being clothed and sheltered well working,
that we will be able to continue that we'll known

S. Gold Pieces for a Nickle

Human nature rel ects five-dollar gold pieces
offered for sale at nicke. At least that the
experience of the man who, bet, offered
them for sale on prominent thoroughfare for a
whole day without securing one purchaser.
The same principle actuates the farmer who
is skeptica of following the advice of the agricul
tural expert, the business and manufacturer
who have nothing to learn from the efficiency en-
gineer or the laborer who fixes his mind immov-
ably on the idea that the cooperative common
wealth will usher in utopian existence:
The reason the man kept his supply of gold
pieces intact and avoided bankruptcy was that
none of his passersby had gumption enough to
take ten cents worth of time plus nickle's worth
of acid and test the gold pieces.

The Progressive party, the party of evolution,
offers this country more practical solutions of
harassing economic and political problems than
all other parties combined 1t is new in organiza-
ton yet old in ideals for its principles have
down through the centuries since man in the
mass and in the individual first yearned for uni
versal justice and equality of opportunity, and
began the tedious study of the why's and where
flores of the god of things that are, and ways
and means of accomplishing his dethronement.
The Progressive principles should draw more
anu iAioIC pSopc W IlS party DIT edcu election.
Such is human nature, however, that the
strength of this drawing power depends greatly
on the actions of the members of the party at
their primaries If General Apathy and Mis-
tress Timidity are giving garden party on pri-
mary day and the party members stray there in
stead of going to the polls and doing their duty
by helping select the partys nominees, they must
not be surprised if their partys election day
growth is slow. They set bad example and no
party can be better than its rank and file
Therefore Progressives, true ones from the
heart out, will bear in mind their duty next Mon
day and express their wishes at the polls for the
men who will compose their party's ticket in the
coming municipal campaign.
Turn out and help your organization prepare
the five-dollar gold pieces, politically speaking
for next falls election and by the example of the
interest you display primary day, help attract
more buyers of the party's wares election day.

Elementally Speaking

Thomas A. Edison, the worlds greatest hv-
ing inventor, once delved into the hereafter and
returned to report there wasn't any such place.
According to Edison the individuals conscious
ness is but the sum of the consciousness of all
the cells of the body. When the cells cease to
live on the death of the body, or may be it should
be vice versa, the consciousness dies and we pass
into oblivion.

AWAKENING

Thou earnest to with the sunshine of morn
Agow in thy face
Thou worest the radiant saffron of dawn
With adorable grace.
And stepped into life shook the sleep my eyes
Beheld thou vert there;
Yea who had scoffed stood athrob with surprise,
And knew thou vert fair.
And then without words, every dream of my heart
Tumbled into vow;
And To- thy lips trembed sweety apart
My touched thy brow.
thou art gone like rainbow Of mist,
Like blush of bloom;
And with spirit refined at the shrine of tryst
I am left in the gloom.

In other words, domestic consumers will pay
40 cents a thousand cubic feet for gas so that
ordinary businesses and small manufacturers
may receive rate of 35 cents thousand cubic
feet as well contribute to the large businesses
and manufacturers who in excess of
$4,000 cubic feet. In addition ordinary bust
nesses and small manufacturers, for the privilege
of shifting portion of their legitimate expense
illegitimately the domestic consumers, must
contribute the other way that the large
businesses and manufacturers obtain the 80
cent rate.
Who was it said For whosoever hath, to
him shall be given, and he shall have more abund-
ance but whatsoever hath not, from him shall be
taken away even that he HATH?
Richmond wants 40 cent gas. Domestic con-
sumers here have eyes keen enough to appre-
ciate the difference between $1.1O and 40 cents.
How long will it be, though, until those eyes can
see there is no difference between railroad re-
bates, which have been abolished by law, and all
commodity rebates discounts? How long will
it be before the universal brain behind those eyes
realizes that rebating in any form is the very
root of all inequality of opportunity, the
of industrial and economic injustice?
