when tho nrtlllery of tho South leveled

(when to hesitato for a moment wns
to lose) tho black mnn flinched not,
but stood llko n rock for tho salvation
of tho union, whero bullets showered

YOUNG FOLKS PROTEST.
Dear Editor: Allow me space In
your paper to write a note to tho edi
tor of the hotel notes.
In behalf of tho young ladlcn nnd
gentlemen of this city, I wish to enter
n protest against tho use of tho word
"kindergarten." I think If ho fully
understood tho meaning of the word,
ho would not uso It. Tho word Is
tnken from tho German language.
If tho rest of tho peoplo of Port
land would do as well ns tho Lndd
estate did, tho Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. ( Ben Chandler of Portland, Burr Wll
C. A. would raise tho desired $360,000
wero to escort Mrs. GanB to tho nft
crnoon's entertainment.
Columbia, Cans' training quarters
and hotel, is three mlleB froni Gold
fleld. Thero nro no street cars and
nutomobilcs and busses nro the only
menus of transportation. The former
rent for $60 n day to whites nnd any
placo from $1,000 to $10,000,000 to col
ored folks. Tex Rlcknrd. however.
obviated this trifling Inconvenience by
courteously placing at tho disposal of
Mrs. GanB pnrty one of his And cars.
easily.
Again, In tho mntter of tho Cuban
Imbroglio, President Roosovclt has
shown that ho knows tho right thing
to do in an emergency.
Prohibiting men from playing n so
ciable gamo of cards for n cigar or
glass of beer Is carrying reform to
nn unrcnsonnblo degree.
Tho cntrnnco of tho Portlnnd & So-
nttlo rond Into this city should bo
encouraged In ovory posslblo way.
Tho exposition in Scnttlo In 1907
will undoubtedly bo n hummer. They
do things up there.
Joo Day seems to bo ablo to work
better for a prlvato individual than
for tho city.
In tho light of events Stntomont No.
1 looks rather silly.

Joo, as the world knows, won tho
fight on n foul, after tho meanest, low
est, nnd most despornto tricks over
witnessed In n ring on tho part of
Nelson, nnd per contra tho most scien
tific, sportsmnnly, and gentlemanly
conduct over witnessed In tho nrenn
on tho part of tho champion. In tho
enrly part of tho first caste prejudice
especially from tho lower classes,
demonstrated Itself by tho vicious out
cries. "Kill tho Nigger!" "Break his
neck!" "Bit him I" "Kick him!" wero
tho particular selections of refined de
mands. Bnttllng Nelson tried to com
ply with ovory ono of thorn. Ho would
hnvo succeeded but for tho marvelous
cleverness of tho parfect mnchlno com
bating him.
Through tho long drawn out contest
of forty-two rounds Joo mnlntnlncd his
equilibrium. Ho wns Boroly tempted
to resort to tho most foul and vicious
Indies, but llko tho truo gontlcmnnly
sport that ho Is, ho refrained from
anything llko bad behavior. His con
duct gradually won tho lower element
of tho spectators. "Kill the Nigger!"
was "soft-pedaled," nnd choors for
Chnmplou Onns were tho tocsin, oven
from Nelson's nbottors. This was tho
fight.
Wo returned to Goldfleld wo col
ored folks I mean nnd $7C lunches
wcro changed to Invitations; $160
drinks wero supplnntcd by posltlvo
demnnds to enter nnd enjoy them.
"Shines" woro guests of tho town. Tho
victory that Oans won In tho ring wns
nothing compnrcd to tho victory ho
had won for his race. As a writer In
ono of tho dnlly papers said: "A" Nig
ger had to show n whlto man how to
bo n gentleman."
Concluding, I want to ropcat tho
query: Is a Negro fighter nny .moral or
commorclal good to his race? Could a
colored minister, orntor, or editor have
accomplished in n fow hours In their
soparnto or combined professions whnt
Gnns did In tho same length of tlmo?
I think not.
