KNOX, Petee Renee ELLWOOD C. KNOX, ree ae eae THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, Tae ea, ar ianeO. Rew ewe SSSO-__— ————— William Harmon, of Hagerstown, Md., who recently died, left an es- tate valued at $75,000. He was a Pullman porter. That accounts for it. It will pay Giles B. Jackson to give little more publicity to his exposi- tion movements. What's been going ‘on, anyhow? — We have been asked, but for the life of us we have not been able to give a satisfactory an- swer. As might have been expected, a colored man was in the Terre Haute election mixup, And as it might have been expected, he played a rather despicable part, if one can think of such a thing as degrees of despicable- ness, He said that he was promised gambling privileges by the chief of the police for his part in the dirty work, His allotment was risky enough, but it’s very likely that his ‘punishment will be sure and certain. If Dr. Booker T. Washington and the National Business League have spread their Health Week influence as they did in Indianapolis they can rest assured that they have had come to pass the most popular thing of a similar kind ever suggested by them or any other person or persons. ‘The school children are saying this week, that Booker T. Washington has or- dered the colored people to clean up; ‘and they are not standing on the or- der; they are cleaning up. Such sim- plicity; and it is needed in the world—such simplicity. If they do not think he has so much authority, nevertheless, they believe something, enough to carry out the “order” will ingly and cheerfully. He should fee! proud of his unknown enthusiasts. ‘The Cuban Congressman, Jose D'Estrampes, says that the President fs in favor of the Johnson-Willard contest for the heavyweight cham- pionship. He will attend the fight with his family and members of the cabinet. He will buy his seats, and not be guests of the management. That sounds “purty” good to all of us colored folk, Not because Jack Johnson is who he is, 60 much, but because Jack Johnson is a Negro. One couldn't help getting away from that Cain and Abel feeling if he fol- lowed the fortunes of the Negro champion. We are satisfied that the President of Cuba knows all about Mr, Johnson and his troubles—vicis- situdes. It is even said that the President put a little bet of a hun- dred dollars on the champ. ‘The News of Dallas, Texas, says that if the entire population of the world resided in Texas there would be only an average of ten persons to the acre. It is estimated that the population of the world is 1,000,000,000. ‘Texas has 265,780 square miles. And yet one Adam Smith, political econ- omist, talked about the time when the world’s population would en- croach dangerously on the domain of food supply. It may come, but the time is simply unthinkable, especially in these days of skyscrapers. Such danger as coal exhaustion and forest extinction do threaten, but never that of garden space. One reads with delightful speculation about one of the erstwhile “seven wonders of the world,” the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the reputed work of either Queen Semiramis or Nebuchadnezzar, thinking what our modernists could do along the line if driven to it. No, sir; we will never starve for the want of garden room, We can go on co The Chicago exposition manage ment is being fought to a standstill by men in Chicago who ought to be interested in making it go. Maybe we are strong on that word—men. We know that the management is being fought by a publication; and it may be that’s but one man. With a newspaper behind him, however, makes him as formidable as an army with banners, We are not onto the merits of the quarrel. We know that the publication is interested in see- ing that no more money come into the hands of the management than what it has got, Strange! Yet the publication may know what it is talk- ing about, However, it seems to wish to charge crookedness before the fact. If we are not mistaken, the legislature of Illinois has given $25,000, not a great sum, for a great exposition. ‘There may be other funds. If not, the management will have to cut the garment according to the cloth, Especially built build- ings are not necessary. Chicago has splendid buildings, sufficient for our exhibits, whatever they may be. It is reasonable to think that the expo- sition will do some business and thus help in the way of expenses. At a recent meeting of the Cos- ‘mopolitan Civic League of Pittsburgh, Pa., it was agreed that the organiza- tlon would assist in the effort to get ‘an Equal Rights Bill through the les- islature of that state.

As it concerns us, we have not changed our mind about exploiting the incident. And to be fair to Mr. Trotter in his recent speeches, he has kept the incident somewhat in the background, and which is more consistent with the best Negro thought. In some cases it is wise and good to beard the lion in his den. In this case the wisdom is doubtful, in spite of the fact that the incident gave emphasis to the wrong we endured. We have never differed with Mr. ‘Trotter a moment as to his effort at throwing down segregation. To have met the President was all right, but the “scene” should have been foreign to the meeting. In the first place it seemed to give the President a pre: rogative, we will say, which does not belong to him, Too much is con- ceded when an attempt is made to wring from any one man rights that are common property. Our rights are not within the keep- ing of one man or a few men. Once such a situation is acknowledged we will find ourselves governed by knots of men or groups—commissions which would be no less than steering com- mittees, and meant to placate, or ease whatever little anti-Negro feel- ing that might arise, and which ease- ment would not add to our civil dig- nity. We have the utmost respect for Presidents; we have great respect for them personally, because they are Presidents. However, we will not forget that they are human and con- sequently biased as other people are. No man is absolutely free of preju- dice. We know that Mr. Wilson can not get away from his. We only ask that he stand for the greater rights, so that we be, at least, essentially citizens even if sheared of the frills of citizenship. In the meanwhile, we resign no contention for even the frills, but we are satisfied that un- Jess ‘the greater things come about, the lesser things can not follow. Nor should we ask this of any in- dividual in the sense of a court of the last resort, We should respect- fully set forth our grievance where it may get the widest publicity just where Mr. Trotter did, somewhat as an ultimatum, and then proceed to mobolize for the polls, just as ‘Teu- tons and allies did for the field. It will be noticed that there was no wrangling in those notes sent from kingdom to kingdom. ‘They stated and declaredwhat were thelr views of their rights ,and the world knows the rest—they are battling it out. We are no less kingly, or should not be less go in standing up for our known rights, No one man is pow- erful enough’ to concede them in a republic. Rights that one man can concede are not worth having. For, if he ‘can concede them, he can also withhold them. Who cares for such a precarious citizenship? As _ we said at another time, in republics we take what is due us. We ask noth- ing. We go to the polls and take it. We hope it is plain what we mean when we express ourselves as not agreeing that Trotter was right in arguing his case with the President. Tn a sense, we really out-Herod him in our stand for principle. But as for righteousness of our contention, as far out as it is, we submit it with sublime assurance to any man who can view himself in our stead and who knows what a republic is. ‘We said that Mr. Trotter has some- what changed in his speeches since the Negro press has discouraged the idea of making capital out of his meeting the President. ‘The impres: sion was that the incident was quite sufficient—the need of the business, and that the segregation wrongs were subsidiary. ‘The segregation wrong is just as glaring as it ever was, and Mr, ‘Trotter will be well within Dounds as long as he maxes it the animus of his attacks rather than the President of the United States.

FREEMAN'S SPORT NEWS FROM POLE TO POLE ACE THE LOCAL NEWS TERMS ACCOMPLISH THE FINUTE First Photo of Jack Johnson Training for Heavyweight Ring Battle THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE JACK JOHNSON AND JESS WIL LARD. Will Fight on Easter Sunday at 11 a.M. on Race Track—Road and "Gym" Training Ridely Reduces Fires of the Black Giant. Is Johnson "All In?" A divided opinion exists as to Jack Johnson and his condition. Johnson reported here in no shape for a championship bout and weighing probably 225 pounds, but he agreed to get in condition for his bout at Juneau no one has been able to guess. Had he could stretch at 6 feet, he would have been at the shape for a finish fight at that time, by any possible system of training. Battling here, ready for a 20-round bout with a Cuban named Cortez, out with a strong roar against the black and white, he would have strong heavyweight will beat the black and that Willard is therefore a sure winner. His hips and knees are accumulating flesh, a very bad sign for an aging fighter. He reported here very fat and at obstacles of time of life and too limited a period to train for a finish contest." Other critics, however, maintain that his weight and condition for a hard bout when he competed in Hawaii, he was not grossly out of shape, and needed only a little flesh to train so much to bear out the latter view, for the big black goes through a hard day's grind without Johnson's Daily Grind. A number of newspaper men followed Johnson through his training here, estered by his skis and ski poles, shadow boxed and pinned the bag in succession for half-hour periods each. He then boxed and pinned the bag in partnership, merely toying with them while they extended themselves to the limit in an effort to land. Johnson also assumed his exercising, this time with heavy dumb-bells, shadow boxing and dancing about the hill to this, Johnson does a long road drill every morning, covering about 100 yards with dog trot. Altogether the champion is certainly making an honest effort to get into shape, whatever he intended doing for the Juarez Johnson is confident—this is not the hackeyed statement of the scrapers, whatever the real conditions. Johnson honestly believes Willard is a joke and that the ten years difference between his superior skill and experience.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Mar. 23—An announcement which may be of great interest to Louisville fans is being played at Eclipse Park during the coming season.

Kid Hoy, the clever Baltimore star champion boxer, has stopped at his old headquarters, at Lima, Ohio. Hoy paid a trip to Memphis, Tenn., and had no success in getting a battle. Hoy was in that city for little over three weeks.

Hoy then set sail back for Lima, Ohio. While on the seven weeks' southern trip and no success, Hoy came back to get a chance at the many challengers. Now Lima boxing promoters have taken interest in colored fighters, and there are some good boxers in Ohio state. Lima City is good.
