June 19, 1910: The Times publishes an editorial cartoon by Albert Jean Taylor praising Gov. James Gillett’s ban on the Fourth of July fight between Jack Johnson and James J. Jeffries, which was to be held in San Francisco. Another cartoon of Johnson by Edmund Waller “Ted” Gale accompanied the June 16 story on the prizefight ban.

On the jump, picketers “ran like frightened curs” as police enforced a new ban on picketing. “The police drew their sticks and started toward the gang of lawbreakers. They huddled together for an instant and then turned and ran. The majesty of law represented by a handful of policemen overawed the 50 men who knew they were disobeying the law,” The Times said.
