LANGFoRD DOWN FOUR
TIMES; KNOCKS OUT
WILLS IN FOURTEENTH

Los Angeles, Nov. 26.-Sam
Langford of Boston knocked out
Harry Wills of New Orleans in
the fourteenth round of what was
to be a twenty-round affair at Ver-
non arena here today. A left swing
to the jaw half way through the
round turned the trick.
Langford in the two opening
rounds hurt his left ankle as he
fell to the mat III vicious break
away. Twice in each of these
rounds Langford took the benefit
of the count of nine. Wills eff
fective straight-arm drives gave
him an apparent even break in
most of the rounds.
Langford fought with an alert
swiftness and a superior knowl-
edge of the game that gradually
wore out Wills. AS the soreness
wore out of Langford's injured
ankle he kept pace with the shifty
Wills in leg work.

SUPREME COURT CON-
S|lER|NG LAWS TO
D|SFRANCH!SE NEGROES

Washington, Nov. THE last
word on existing legislation as to
grandfather clause" provision
and other methods Of depriving
Negroes of the ballot is to be
handed down during the present
session of the United States Su-
preme Court. The decisions will
be fraught with more Importance
to the Negro than any in a quar-
ter of century, it is declared,
since the country will know of the
success or failure of various ingen
ious means that are alleged to have
been adopted both in the North
and South to take from the Ne
gro a position of equality with the
white man.
The grandfather clause" meth
cd of restricting the right of the
Negro to vote has been the most
popular of all the late attempts of
the South 10 nullify the guarantee
of the right to vote contained in
the fifteenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution. In short,

The President
And Segregation

that it makes neither for the com.
fort nor the best interest of the
races, but invariably leads to added
friction. creates deep and lasting
unhappiness among the segregated.
This problem has vexed him and
caused him heartache more than
once in his Administration, and it
will uot cease to plague him until
he lays down the Law that sets up
equality of treatment of all en-
ployees in the Government service.
Again, Mr. Wilson is reported to
have resented Mr.. Trotter's state
ment that if this discrimination
were not ended, the Negroes who
voted for HIM would vote the Re-
publican ticket, and to have de.
clared that this was political
blackmail." But this is the time
honored American way of showing
disapproval of an elective officials
conduct. When Mr.. Wilson was
candidate for President in 1912.
he declared: "Should 1 become
President of the United States,
they (the colored people) may
count upon me for absolute fair
dealing and for everything by
which 1 could assist in advancing
the interest of their race in the
United States" On the strength
of this many colored people and
their white friends advocated Mr..
Wilson's cause, who would rather
have cut off their hands than have
aided Mr. Wilson if they had known
that he was intending to draw the
color line in the departments upon
the excuse that their is a certain
point in the relations of the races
where friction must occur. To
them that is neither absolute fair
dealing nor advancing their cause,
but putting it back, because it sets
the stamp of governmental approx
al upon color prejudice. To ex-
pect after this that the problem
can be kept out of politics, as Mr..
Wilson is quoted as urging, is to
expect the impossible.
With Mr.. Wilson's feelings as
to the ultimate solution of the Ne
gro problem, we are not to day con-
cerned.- He may or may not have
a constructive program to suggest.
The issue is simply whether a
hateful East Indian caste shall be
established in Washington or not.
We had supposed, after the inves
LEGATIONS of last winter, that the
vicious policy had been checked
we understood that it was to be
abandoned gradually. In numer.
GUS instance the Jim-Crowine
had, we know, been stopped. The
more discouraging is it to find
the President apparently uphold.
ing what the World justly calls
"foolish indiscretions Of members
of his Cabinet" There was nc

The Colorado statesman., 1914-11-28

genuine complaint as to the con-
ditions in Washington. Colored
and white employees had worked
side by side for fifty years. Some
of them had been appointed by
Grover Cleveland-one of his ap-
pointees to high place being the
father of Mr.. Trotter, veteran of
the Fifty-6fth Massachusetts. But
the Wilson administration went
out of its way to create the issue it
now deplores, and cannot see its
way clear to admitting its mistake
and reverting to the only defensi-
BILE position of absolute equality in
the Government service.
The way to deal with race pre-
judice in such matters is not to en-
hance it by yielding, but resolutely
TO confront it with refusal to give
in. 1t is surprising how often pre-.
judice fades away in given situa-
ton when it finds itself wholly
blocked. 1t is even more surpris-
ing how frequently it is merely .
state of mind. Often there is no
objection whatever to the presence
of colored people on the most fa-
miliar terms, provided their posi-
tion is clearly stamped as menial;
let them suddenly aspire to equal
privileges, and those same people
become at once too offensive to be
permitted TO breathe the same at
mosphere. The situation in Wash
sngton would be restored in a
twinkling to the old and absolute
ly satisfactory status if the highest
authority were simply to lay down
the law that there was going to be
a square deal for everybody in the
departments without the slightest
discrimination; that there can be
only one class of public servants
all to be treated with courtesy,
consideration, aud absolute justice.

COLORED PEOPLE AND THE
DRUG HABIT.

1t has been widely reported that
the colored people in the South are
the main consumers of habit-form-
ing drugs such as morphine, CO.
caine, ETC., and therefore the more
welcome is report in the Amer
lean Journal of Public Health by
DR.. G. E. Terry, health officer of
Jacksonville, Fla, which gives the
facts concerning a fairly typical
southern city.
DR.. Terry obtained his informa-
ton in a novel way. He secured
the passage of an ordinance regu-
-lating the sale of cocaine and
opium, one section of which pro-
vided that habitual users could OBJ
tain free of charge prescriptions
for the drugs from the health Of
ficer at his discretion. Thus every
excuse for illicit sales was removed,
and the victims were brought into
personal contact with Dr. Terry
himself.
The data thus secured show that
in city of something over $4,000
inhabitants, there are GAG drug
users. Contrary to the general be-
lief, there are fewer Negroes than
whites. Jacksonville has about
equal numbers of both, but the
white drug habitues number GIG,
the Negroes only 230. Women out
number men, $50 against 266.
Morphine heads the list with 37.6
per cent of all cases. Cocaine
comes next with 26.7 per cent;
then other forms of opium, lauda-
mum, 1873 per cent; heroin, "A per
cent; gum opium, % per cent, and
finally 10.3 per cent who use both
morphine and cocaine. Negroes
are the largest users of cocaine,
whites of morphine.
We are very grateful to DIR.
Terry for giving to the world the
facts which show that the Negro
is not the principal consumer of
these dangerous drugs.-New York
Age.
A few weeks ago one of the daily
papers of this city had quite a
writeup of the people who are drug
fiends in this city. Morphine-users
headed the list, then came opium,
cocaine, heroin and morphine.
Very few colored people of Den
yer are addicted to the drug habit,

who died in 1912, alongside his
children inferred within the ceme-
terry. From 1890 to 1896, the Gas
kills buried four children in the
Forest Hill cemetery. Then in
1907, the cemetery officials adopt
ed a resolution barring the bodies
of colored persons who owned no
lots in the cemetery, from burial
therein.-Post Despatch.
The Colorado statesman., 1914-11-28

persons are barred from voting if
their grandfatbers were not elig-
IDLE to vote in their day.
The Oklahoma wording of this
clause" is generally typical of
those adopted in other states, and
it is one of those before the court
for consideration 1t provides a
reading and writing qualification
for voting in the State, but excepts
from its operation those who were
eligible to vote in 1866, or whose
ancestors were eligible to vote in
any state iu the Union or any for
eign country in that year.
TEST CASE ON "JIM CROW LAW.
The validity of the most far
reaching Jim Crow law ever PRESS
ed will be determined in the Okla
homa case, brought by E. P. Nc
Cabe and several other Negroes
against the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railway Co, and other
railroad companies to test the va
1iisty of the law, which requires
separate waiting rooms and ca
service for Negroes engaged in
travel within the State, also for
Negroes making interstate journeys
in Oklahoma.
The State defends its action on
| the ground that the act was design
ed to preserve peace and order, and
this is just as necessary on an in
terstate journey as an interstate
one. The Oklahoma courts up.
held the validity of the law, de-
spite the fact that it does not re-
quire sleeping car facilities to be
furnished to Neg roes barred from
sleeping cars provided for the
whites. They declared this was
not a substantial discrimination,
because there was no demand
among Negroes for sleeping car ac-
commodations, which would justi-
fly separate sleeping cars for them.
In one of the first cases argued
to the court, the Federal Govern
ment will seek to strike down
form of alleged peonage to which
blacks in Alabama are being SUBJ
jected by plantation owners with
the aid of the local courts.
AN "UNwRITTEN LAW" CASE
From Texas comes case of the
court in which a Negro sets up
claim to the 'uDwritten law" on
an equality with the white man.
1t is the case in which Carl Oliver
was convicted of having murdered
a white man whom he found in the
company of his wife.
Oliver claims that the court
which tried nim erred in not in
structng the jury that under the
laws of Texas and the United
States a Negro is entitled to the
same rights or protection as to the
defending of the honor of his nome
as white man would be in the
circumstances. Oliver also claims
that there was an unlawful discrim-
ination in the selection of the
grand jury which indited
him in that Negroes were not eli
gible for selection.

Chicago, is to make last attempt

(From The Evening Post New

Bad manners are bound to hurt
even a good cause, and the last
place where disrespect is to be toll
Grated is the White House. If
William Monroe Trotter was as
appears, insolent to Mr.. Wilson
recently, he has impaired his ad-
vocacy of the rights of the colored
people and hurt them all as we'll.
But Mr.. Wilson, we feel, should
make allowances, not perhaps for
the hasty temper of man whose
passionate desire for justice for his
race often leads him astray, but
because of the genuine wrongs OF
which Mr.. Trotter complains. 1t
is a sad blot upon the Wilson Ad-
ministration that it has tolerated,
nav, drawn the color line, without
real cause, save, as Mr.. Trotter
truthfully put it, the racial anti.
pathies of Messrs. Burleson, John
Shelton Williams, and McAdoo.
For an Administration which talks
about New Freedom and boasts
of having bestowed a new liberty
upon business men, not only to pe
blind to the wrongs of full ten
millions of Americ can citizens, but
to add to them is truly discourage
ing. Mr.. Wilson can feel keenly
for the governmental wrongs OF the
Submerged 85 per cent" OF the
people of Mexico, of whom SO
many are Indians and of mixed
parentage, but he has yet to say a
really sympathetic word about the
wrongs of the millionsin the South
who are without voice in their own
government.
The difficulty lies, of course, in
putting yourself in the other fell
lows place, in having some appre-
citation Of what it means to be the
victim of prejudice and injustice,
to be wronged without the power
to remedy the wrong. That Mr..
Wilson is unable to visualize this
is, we repeat, the more disappoint-
ing because there are so many in
jured persons with whom he does
sympathize SO underetandingly.
His unusual vision and imagina-
ton leave him, however, when 1t
comes to the disfranchisement OF
women and to permitting his su-
bordinates to inhict indignities
upon American citizens in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the White
House. If he could only be one
of the submerged 10 per cent. OF
our people in Washington for
forty-eight hours he could never
have palliated the wrong done, as
he is reported to have. by saying
that segregation was enforced fol
the comfort and best interests OF
the races, in order to overcome
friction. He would know then

WHY WASTE TIME FRETTING7
Common Form Of Foolishness Most
Noticeable Among Those Of
Weak Character.

There is one sin which. II seems, is
everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, and too much overlooked
in valuation OF character. 1t Is the
sin of fretting. Il Is common as air,
as speech-so common, that unless 1t
rises above its usual tone of discord-
ant complaining, we do not even OBJ
serve it. Observe any ordinary meet
ing of people, and see how many min
utes IL will be before somebody makes
more or less complaining statements
of something or other which probably
everyone in the room, or in the street
1t may be, knew before, and probably
no one can help. Why say anything
about It? It is cold, 1t is hot, 1t is
wet, 1t is dry; somebody has broken
an appointment. ill-cooked meal;
stupidity or bad faith somewhere has
resulted in discomfort.
There are plenty Of things to think
about. II is simply astonishing how
much annoyance may be found in the
course of every days living. even of
the simplest, IL one keeps sharp eye
out on that side of things. Even Holy
Writ says we are born to trouble as
sparks fly upward" But even to the
sparks flying upward, in the blacklist
of smoke. there is a blue sky above;
and the less they waste on the road,
the sooner they will reach 1t. Fret
ting is all time wasted on the road.
