DescriptionJim's Mistake, a poem.jpg	English: a poem originally published in the Houston Post, and later republished in the Los Angeles Herald, about James Jeffries and Jack Johnson. The text is as follows: Jim Jeffries says he will uphold The honor of his race; Does this mean he'll seek Johnson and Let Johnson smash his face? Jim makes the same mistake that many Men have made. We lug This fact out for our Jim to see; It is not to a pug The white race leaves its honor To save with slug or poke; Its honor would be safe though Jim Should never meet the moke. —Houston Post.
