LEE E EEE E EEE EEE EEE EES A CURSE T OHIS RACE. ei (Bditoriai in the Cleveland Plain Dealer) When Jack Johnson won the heavywelght championship, of the world, and especially when he reeatnee- ite nis fight with Jeffries, there were those who. sald he had done his rice a great service. hey argued that he had put fresh pride and confidence into mill- fons of men who needed such a spur to ambition. The theory was that Johnson's prowess would encourage colored Americans to strive more vigorously for equal rights and equal attainments in better fields of occupation and achievement. Now Jack Johnson. has done more to discourage and dishearten the best and wisest men of his race than he could offset by winning ten championships. They are ashamed and disgusted and in such a frame of mind that thousands of them would welcome an oppor- tunity, to give him a coat of tar and feathers and. ride him on a rail oyer the nearest international boundary. Johnson has done*more than any other one man of his color to put argunfents inthe mouths of enemies of his race who would deny the negro any form of equal fCrights, if It were In their powpr to do so. + All of which goes to show that brains and character, * force, must be depended upon to advance the interests mae widen + the future of a race lutely freed from slavery + : PREEEEEEEE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE ES te chest teoke deta oe oh oh be he she of fe ofr wks ofe abe obs abe of obs ofr ole of ole ofr fe ole ole ole fe ofa fe afe Paris, Dec. 10.

The Point at Issue lt; Sir Robert Finlay went on to deal at considerable length with the two acts over which the question turned, iz, The act defining the powers o the province and section 92 of the British North America Act of 1867, and the powers which these two stat- utes, read together, purported to con- fer. He desired to emphasize that 9 . the provincial et gave no power to false revenue for provincial purposes except by legitimate. taxation and gave therefore no power to do that which was complained of, namely, to augment revenue by confiscation. The Lord Chi r interposing: You say that the 6ubject matter of the provincial statutes does not -fall within any ot these clauses numer- ated in section 92 Of the BN. A. Act of. 18672 Sir Robert Finlays Sper eles a iord, that is my polut Y say further that the money on deposit with which this statute of the Alberta legislature purports to deal with foes not fall under the head of Property and Civ- fl Rights dn. the province of Alberta, his legislation would affect . the ts of many persons outside the province and therefore outside the scope Of that section of the B. N, A. Act altogether. The Lord Chancellor at thig point intimated that the case must stand adjourned now as he had public du- ty elsewhere, He would continue in the afternoon: Sir Robert Finlay informed the re- predentatives of the Cansdian Asso- ciated Press that the case was ot likely to be finished today. Last of all, at the resumption of the hearing this afternoon; Sir Ro- bert proceeded to quote several canes in support of his opening statement, efter Which adjournment was taken until tomorrow. eee THE MARKET REPORTS Winnipeg; Dec. 10 The market op- ened at a slight advance -and he'd steady and fairly active throughout tho morning.

Thess included the building of the dam at the foot of Lake: Temiskam- ing; the Sorel shipyard; the Mon- treal harbor commisison; government dredging; the dismissal of R. E.

He was without any assistance, The commissioners state that western opinion is in favor of the abolition of patronage and the placing of outside gervice under the civil) service commission. The opin- J6n also prevails in the west that the minimum lary should not be less than 75 per month, thyt a system of superannuation showld be established and that promotion should be on the sole basis of fitness. Another sugges- tion is that retifement should be made compulsory at 66. FRISCO STEPS UP One of Oldest Cities in the States Names Commis- sioner.
