While there Is undoubtedly consid-
cradle discrimination against negroes
when they seek work at profitable
skilled trades, it is nevertheless the
fact that this hostility is by no means
universally employed among union
men, and union leaders in many in
stances are making progress in over
coming such feeling among white
workmen.

south are realizing and meeting in
very high degree the obligation and
duty they owe to the negro.
The negro problem is the south's
greatest problem. 1t has passed
through the era of passion, and is
passing safely through the era of rae
ial prejudices.
The idea which so long a time had
currency in the south was that the
negro had no qualification for living
and competing with the dominant and
superior race-that he complicated all
their problems of industry and soci-
ETY., and that the wise thing to do
was to help him to enter another
country, where, after 200 years of con-
tact with this people, he might work
out his own destiny by their counsel
and cooperation, but with absolute ia
dependence and in his own right.
That idea has entirely passed away.
Every thinking man now believes that
so long as our republic endures the
white and black races will dwell side
by side in the south.
1t was therefore both logical and
better developed race must, as a mat
ter of policy and prudence, help the
negro and develop him along the best
lines, and cooperate with him in every
worthy measure, with helpfulness and
consideration. They must build up
the negro to the higher conceptions of
his duty to himself and to them, and
establish the understanding that
since they must live with him, the
white race must help him to be the
worthier of citizenship and associa-
ton.
More and more the northern people,
whose philanthropy has been lavish
and well directed, are holding off
their hands and their money in the
development of the negro, and are
coming to trust the south more and
more completely in dealing with prob
lens looking to his welfare.
This feeling and spirit are entering
the minds of both races, and it is safe
to say that the relation between the
two races of the south have never
been more friendly and safer than
now.
From April 25 to 90 of the present
year, in Atlanta, the southern socio-
logical congress, made up of leading
university presidents, with other
noted publicists and thinkers of the
south, discussed with rare courage,
great moderation and remarkable abil-
tty the religious, educational, hygien-
ic, economic and civic conditions of
the negro of the south and the white
mans relation to him
The speeches at the congress were
epoch making because of the accuracy
and abundance of data, and because of
the startling frankness of stating the
deficiencies disclosed in the program
of the whites of the south in dealing
with the negro problem.
An especially striking feature of the
congress was the fact that the negro
delegates we're invited as a body, for
the first time in the history of any
program of a similar character, to
seats on the floor in each of the sew
en- conferences held simultaneously in
seven different white churches of the
capital of the south-Editorial in the
Chicago American.

Bv Sol Pick

~HICAGO, March 9.-Folks who
have been saying that Willie
Richie needs a manager be-
cause he has not made much money
out of his championship in year and
a half will be surprised to learn how
well Willie is going to do next Thurs
day night in Milwaukee. Not how
well he is going to do in the ring Chat
remains to be Scent but in financial
way. His championship quarrel with
Adolph Wolgast is going to draw be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 into Tom
Andrews spacious auditorium arena.
Mr. Andrews was in the city yes
terday to see how the Chicago sale
was going, and informed us that the
Milwaukee receipts to date, including
orders sent him from out of town,
are just about 100000 That is go
ing some, with the match still six
days away. Tom Jones and his corps
of assistants at the Morrison have a.
ready disposed OF $500 worth Of
pasteboards TO Chicago fans This
means the club is going to sell out
before the day of the bout, as 5000
is the limit al the prices. The big
arena will seat about 10000 and the
prices range from 50 to SO. An

point many people, and predicts that
the tickets will all be gone by the
day before the battle, though there
are plenty of them left right now.

lege of the gross gate, That means
he is going to drag down around S17,-
600 for a half hours work, perhaps
less, in the beer town ring. That Is
more than any lightweight champion
ever received for ten-round contest
What makes it so nice is that Richie
can't lose his title unless he is
knocked out, for decisions are not al
lowed under the Wisconsin State law.
Wolgast, when champion, once was
offered $17,500 to box Packey McF'ar-
land ten rounds in New York, but
Tom Jones would not let him accept,
as the South Slider would not scale al
a reasonable weight. When Packey
and Ad were to box at Milwaukee,
the seat sale was over $4,000 a week

Were we to narrow the question

up our minds which one university
stood highest on the athletic field,
and then name the state in which
that university happens to be located
Thus IL we pitched on Harvard as

that Massachusetts led; or II Yale,
then Connecticut leads. But when It
is borne in mind that in Massachu-

Amherst, Williams. Tufts, Holy Cross,

All three Of the matches listen good.
Eggers and Young, as starter, ought

most rabid fan. Perry and Hanlor
look evenly matched, both weighing in
at $50 pounds. And surely there are
not two better heavyweights, barring
Gunboat Smith, than Willard and
Flynn.

N holds the spotlight. Young mas

And in Eggers the Newsboy Cham
pion is meeting his first opponent who
possesses real class. Eggers has
corling record. According to the rec
ord printed on his letterheads, he has
defeated Johnny Dundee in six
rounds. He has a ten-round draw
with frankie Burns, the New YORK
bantam, who holds decision over
Johnny Coulon, the title holder in the
116-pound division.
Eggers has fought every little fell
low in the East, winning most OF his
bouts, breaking even on few occa-
sions, but not a single defeat IS
chalked up against him in his rec
ord.

i number of times. He Is top

have to stop the little New Yorker to
win. If it goes the entire rounds, l
can't figure Young in the running.
But somehow or other this Young
kid has happy knack of slipping

ter how much class he might boast of.
YOUNG realizes that this night viii
make or break him. Long ago he
cut out chop suey and cigarettes as a
training diet, and to-day is better
than he ever was. He has agreed to
make 124 pounds at o'clock for Egg
gers. He is down to that weight now.
BY Wednesday he probably won't
weigh over 122 or 1913. BY taking off
two more pounds he ought to be as
fast as lightning.

away with Eggers. he will be in line
