Good Neighbors
BY S. T. McCants

''The Evil that men do lives af-
ter them. The good if oft inferred
with their bones"
Your Good Neighbor scribe is
devoting his column this week in
answer to the attack made on
Jack Blackburn's life by Bill Cum
bingham in the Seattle Daily
Times of May 1, 1912. I must
confess that in all my travels
through these United States of
America. from Coast to Coast dur
ing the past half century. I fail
to call to mind an article on the
life of Jack Blackburn, by this
so-called brains of the newspaper
world. Personally, I think good
journalism from any pen when
referring to the lives of others
should by all means give credit
for the good as well as the bad
enacted during their life time.
They should not wait until the
one referred to is dead, and then
bring to light all that happened
to be dark in their lives, and to
go so far as to mention his color
of tobacco colored brown, which
some member Of the writers race
is responsible. His scared face,
and prison term for murder was
also mentioned, but not a word
as to the great things he accom-
plished after his various exper-
fences during his young monhood.
The writer will please take note
that Jack Blackburn was not the
only prize fighter that committed
murder, nor is he he only great
man that ever committed murder.
Yes, Bill Cunningham, please be
informed that some of the worlds
greatest leaders experienced acts
of dishonesty and murder before
they were prepared to do the great
things of life that their creator
had planned for them. Moses, one
of the worlds greatest leaders of
mankind, slew an Egyptian and
then fled to Egypt and was there
appointed leader of his people by
God himself. What right then have
we to criticize the so-called bad
that men do? The old saying re-
mains true. There is so much good
in the worst of us and so much
! bad in the best of us that it doesn't
behoove any of us to talk about
the rest of us. have found out
that man must Of a necessity en-
dure varied experiences to reach
the point in life where our crea-
tor can use us for the big thing
that he has for us to do. Jack
Blackburn was no exception in
this case. After acting the part Of
a coward by attacking dead man
who could not defend himself,
must say that the attack of Pearl
Harbor by he Japs while loyal
Negro citizens were being lynched
and burned to death in Missouri
should cause all of us to think
about the rest Of US. Why couldn't
Cunningham after referring to
Blackburn's color and SCARED fea-
lures use good Journalism as he
should have done and said in clos
