The system found Jack Johnson as controllable as flash floods, cyclones, and Standard Oil. In his body was a concentration of wealth comparable to the Beef Trust. In the ring he flaunted his power with a serene arrogance which was far more irritating than the aggressive contempt of a Morgan or a Boss Tweed because it was devoid of acrimony and humorlessness. Johnson never mauled his opponents. For a period of rounds he would lay back...
