this way; the race horses of the
goth century are the fastest ever
known; some year some runner
breaks all existing records, and
men have been racing on foot
throughout the history of the
world. We are at the very high
est point of development in many
directions. And l class Jack
Johnson at the front of this devel-
opment. He's the goth century's
best in his line and no fighter in
modern history, / believe, has ever
been as quick. clever and power
full as this wonderful negro.
/ know Jack will make Jeffries
look like a hitching post so far as
quickness is concerned. He has as
much power behind his blows as
Jeffries and he can get out of
Jeff's way. Jeff will not be able
to get out of the way of Johnson.
l am worrying because l fear
that Johnson will kill Jeffries.
This is no joke.
Johnson has always been a
clean,' hard working boy. AS a
lad he worked for a Swede milk
man in Galveston for 10 cents per
week. His brother told me that
was Jacks first salary. The boy
worked 16 hours a day, and one
day got mad at his employer
threw bricks at him and ran home
The Swede went to Jacks mother
and told her that if Jack would
come back he would pay him 20
cents per week. So Jack patched
up his troubles and went back to
the milkman.
The first fight Johnson ever had
was down in Galveston. There
was big crowd present and Jack

time, in a battle royal at Spring

VA9diiGS Ot SCiCstkUiG TUU0ttSs
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
In these days of midsummer heat and
dullness the vagaries of the scientific
pundits as source of refreshing and
innocent entertainment are not to be
|despised. They are varied in their
character and comprehensive in their
scope. Their range extends from the
interior arrangements of the human
anatomy to the exterior limits of the
visible universe. and if they are more
remarkable for inventive ingenuity
than for convincing force that only
serves to enhance their interest. No
problem Is so great or so difficult that
the modern scientist shrinks from at
tempting its solution. nor. on the 9TH
er hand, is any question too small or
Insignificant to be deemed unworthy
of his notice. He is ready to explain
the whole scheme of things in a neatly
compacted system, which is quite sat
isfactory, provided the premises upon
which it is constructed are admitted.
and as soon as one theory is explod-
ed as a consequence of a more
thorough research or a more intelli-
gent apprehension of the facts he is
imperturbably ready with another.

OVER IN SPAIN

We are apt to think that the coun-
try OF Spain has settled into dry rot.
But 1t is no comic opera performance
OF brigands that young King Alfonso
has to deal with. He makes a pathe-
tic figure In all the trouble and those
who have found much to admire in
this young fellow who has had SO
much misfortune wonder II his stars
are not against him.
The trouble which he has on his
hands Is Of so multifold a nature that
he will have proved his right to rule
II he pulls through.
In the first instance he has the war
with the Moors. which not only Is a
source Of trouble in itself but Is the
irritating point Of most of the other
trouble. The war was distinctly UNI
popular with the tax ridden populace
because 1t is charged that it was
strictly for the benefit Of the Spanish
spectators. It seemed that this
trouble might have been allayed were
it not for the ever present situation
in Barcelona Of discomfort.
Not only has the Barcelona populace
been clamoring for neutrality-suspicious.,
but it has steadily been reluctant to
pay war assessments and complete its
quota Of soldiers during the Spanish
American war and before that in the
long drawn out trouble in the Spanish
colonies. Added to that. is the situa.
ton OF imminent peril to monarchy
OF numbers OF anarchistic socialists
and malcontents OF all sorts who
have foregathered there.
The presence OF these agitators In
the wealthiest city in Spain makes II

This explains the anti-clerical riots
which have destroyed much church
property. And some OF the same

So altogether 1t Is middle which
is worth considering.

LOST IN THE SHUTTLE

The last hope of provision for a
Tariff Commission OF experts faded
away yesterday when the clause was
further emasculated until 1t now
reads:
ITO secure Information to assist the
President in the discharge of the du-
ties imposed upon him by this section
and the officers of the government in
the administration of the customs laws
the President is hereby authorized to
employ such persons as may be neces-
sary."
First Aldrich took a bite and then
Cannon-until even the fragments O.
a provision for the tariff of the future
to be manufactured along scientific
lines had faded away like an idle
dream.
II the present congress has done
nothing more it has shown the country
the need for a Tariff Commission and
scientific tariff. And that tho
friends OF the corporations are aware
of the fact that this commission would
make it hard for them to carry on
their nefarious program in the future
there is no better proof than the fact
that Aldrich and Cannon are both
against it.
