WHOSE SOLE OBJECT IS TO STIR

SO THAT THE HIGHLY CIVILIZED CHRISTIANS CAN TO THEIR
HEARTS CONTENT END THE LIVES OF INNOCENT AND
LAW ABIDING COLORED MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
One of the greatest writers of the
old world, some years ago declared
that "The American people, are the
biggest set of foofs on earth" tor
words to the same .effect. There is
a great deal of truth in the above
6tatement the vast majority of them
being color blind and race prejudice
ridden, they have made monkeys of
themselves and have permitted them
selves to become the laughing Btock
of the world, prior to and since the
great Johnson and Jeffries fight at
Reno, Nevada.
Under one pretext or another ther
thought it would be all right if Jef
fries could only knock and pound the
stuffing out of Johnson, and those
who were fearful of Ms ability to
make good in' that direction, includ
ing the good Christians, nit! cried
out against permitting the fight.
James J. Corbett, known as "gentle
man Jim" who Is the bosom friend of
the fallen champion is still explaining
too- tt all happened on July 4th, but
before the light he assured the wor
shipers of white skin that "Jeffries
would have no trouble in winning the

time after he hid met with success

Are bitterly opposed to the exhibi
tion of the moving pictures of the
fight, which have been and are still
running through the daily newspapers
which enter the homes of hundreds
of thousands pf people and are looked
at and read by millions of children.
Some of the papers which are now
engaged in crying out against the
pictures have in the past gleefully
set forth all the details of the most
revolting crimes committed by man
kind, illustrating the black deeds and
fowl crimes, will the Chicago AmerK
can please stand up and repent of its
former sins right now in this respect?
At this time It will not do to over
look the fact that the religious or
ganizations throughout the country,
the preachers and the press, now en
gaged in crying but against the pic
tures, simply because a whlto prize
fighter was put to Bleep by a Negro
prize fighter.
They have never in the past at
tempted to eupress the "Clansman'
which depicts a Negro raping a white
woman, but on the contrary they have
glorified it from their pulpits as the
noblest work of their hand made God.
Neither have they cried out against
such blood thirsV anarchists, half de
vils andJaalf savages as Benjamin R.
Tillman, James K. Vardaman, Rev.
Tnomaa Dixon Jr., and their brood of

Francis P. Brady, was united upon to
become State Senator Instead of

Mr. Brady did not kick over the

of for Senator Hopkins, but he stuck
with the Hopkins wing of his party to
the very last ballot, thereby saving
his respectability and standing among

KNOCKS OUTTHE PEDDLERS.
On or about Jan. 1, this year, th city
council, passed an ordinance compell
ing the great army of peddlers from
shouting at the top of their voice
at all hours of the day and, night,
while traveling through the streets
and byways' of this city, seeking vic
tims to buy their wares, and often
times rotten fruit and so on, and the
more tfian six thousand peddlers felt
cock sure that through their lawyers,
they would be able to sound the death
knell of this new law which they hate
so much, so they prayed- unto his
Hon. Judge Walker this week to issue
an injunction restraining the city
authorities, from enforcing the ordi
nance, in any manner shape or form.
But Judge Walker, would not hava it
so and In dismissing their bill for
want of eqtutTv he declared that they

thoroughly believe in good govern

state, that he has been selected as
the associate and running mate of
Mr. Judah, by bis straight-forward
conduct he has made a lasting name
for himself.
As a former member of the legisla

everything which would redound to
the best interest of all the people

It will long be remembered, that he

FOSTERING RACE PREJUDICE BY
DECRYING IT.
Jack Johnson, heavyweight cham
pion pugilist of the world, says that
he got a rotten deal when he returned
to his home in Chicago after his vic
tory in the ring at Reno.
Mr. Johnson is exactly right about
it He did get a rotten deal and he
has a perfect Tight .to complain.
Without going Into the merits or de
merits of prize fighting and there Is
much to be said on both sides it
must be admitted by anyone that Mr.
Johnson had accomplished, a feat that
brought him into prominence and
made him much admired by a consid
erable portion of the populace of Chi
cago. - Whether his admirers are misguided
in their adulation of his physical prow
ess is quite beside the question. The
point at issue is that a large number
of oeoole desired to do him honor and.
this being a free country, they ought
to have been permitted to do so
Those who disapprove of Mr. Johnson
hwjmse he is a ougilist or because he
is a Negro, were not askgd to parti
cipate in the welcoming festivities and
there was no disposition to force them
to do so.
Mr. Johnson's fellow Negroes and
Ma frnnta amone the white race had
planned to meet him at tee station
with a band and to organize o paraae
tn ieart him to his home. They were
forbidden by Chief of Police Steward
to do this.
And whv? Because, forsooth, it
might foment race hatred and result
In riots.
That is absolute piffle and Mr. Stew
ard, if he Is a person ot discernment,
knowB it. The parade was forbidden
because of this very xace prejudice
about which there "was eo much cant
and for no other reason. There was
more to foment race hatred In Chief
Steward's ruling than there would
have been in a. dozen parades in hon
or of Mr. JoTinson "or anyone else.

that it would result in anything of
the sort. The Negroes of Chicago are
not anarchists nor, we take it, are
they looking for trouble in which they
would be bound to come out second
best.
Race prejudice is fomented more by
the discriminations of persons who
are themselves prejudiced than it Is
by any demonstration in compliment
to anyone.
Mr. Johnson's admirers are now
talking of running him for alderman
In the Third Ward where he resides,
and where there are some S,000 Ne
gro votes. Would it not be quite as
reasonable for our discriminating
chief of police to forbid this on the
ground that it might cause a race
war?
Mr. Johnson, since his return to Chi
cago, has exhlbted much good sense.
He has done no strutting nor brag
ging, and has been in every way rea
sonably and conservative. This shows
his conservatism and his realization
of the necessity of good order.
As to his political aspirations, the
Bulletin Is not yet ready to pledge
Its support but, should he prove the
only candidate against the Republi
can Nominee, we must say that he
would look very good to us. The Chi
cago Democratic Bulletin, July 13,
