The men pay $50 for the infoma-

Reno and thence to Coaldale where
automobiles await the intending set
tiers, another fee is demanded for au-
tomobile transportation and the men
are shown the property. Inasmuch as

THE RAILROAD gill.

The passage in the senate OF the
United States last Friday. by vote
of So to 10, II concurred in by the
house, will doubtless bring relief to
many western states which have suf-
fered from discriminative railroad
freight rates.
Nevada citizens have good reason
to rejoice. for Nevada, above all
other western states, has been held
back by the vicious attitude. of freight
rates. One of the best Illustrations
of this IL Reno, the commercial GEN.
ter OF the state. where merchants
have been unable to get goods ship
ped to them direct from the east
for less charge than that impos-
ed upon San Francisco merchants.
In many instances merchandise is
billed through to the coast and re-
shipped to Reno. costing the Reno
merchants less than 1t would II the
same merchandise had been shipped
direct to Reno from the east.
The clause in the railroad bill in
tended to remedy just such evils as
Reno merchants have been subject
ed to reads as follows:
Section 4. That 1t shall be I'M
lawful for any common carrier sub
ject to the provisions of this act to
charge or receive any greater COM
pensation in the aggregate for the
transportation Of passenger or any
like kind Of property. for a shorter
than for q longer distance over the
same line or route In the same di.
rectfon, the shorter being included
within the longer distance. or to
charge any greater compensation as
through route than the aggregate Ct
local rates; but this shall not be con-
strued as authorizing any common
carrier within the terms of this act
to charge or receive as great COM
pensation. for shorter as for long
err distance.
Provided. however, that the inter-
state commerce commission may from
its knowledge, or from information
or upon application ascertain that
the circumstances and conditions of
the longer haul are dissimilar to the
circumstances and conditions of the
shorter haul. whether they result
from competition by water or rail,
then 1t may authorize common car.
rier to charge less for the longer than
for the shorter distance for the trans
portation Of passengers or property;
but In no event shall the authority be
granted until the commission Is sat
isfied that all the rates involved are
Just and reasonable and not unjustly
discriminatory or unduly preferential
nor prejudicial.
And provided, further, that no
rates or charges lawfully existing at
the time of the passage OF this amen
datory act shall be required to change
by reason OF provisions of this section
prior to the expiration of six months
after the passage Of this act. nor in
any case where application shall have
been filed before the commission in
this section, pending determination
OF such application by the COM
mission"

it be said that the great mass Of per-
sons understand that corn syrup" is
a mixture of glucose and syrup. The
natural result of such use of the term
corn syrup" is to mislead the consum-
ers into the belief that they are obtain
ing table food Of the variety and kind
commonly known as syrup, the product
of sugar producing plants, and the con-
sequences of such practice are that the
consumers are mislead and deceived
in respect to the actual nature, the
constituents, and the value of the ar
ticle as a food product. Such a state
and condition of affairs respecting
the traffic in an article of food, though
the article and it's constituents are
wholesome, is a well-recognized ground
for the exercise of legislative author
ity under the police power to prescribe
regulations to protect the people from
imposition and deception in trafficing
therein.
THE provisions of chapter 557, laws
OF 1907, under which defendants were
prosecuted and fined, clearly forbid
sales without labelling or branding the
articles as prescribed. That this leg
isletion was a proper exercise of the
legislative authority heretofore cited.

JOHNSON'S CHAMP
CLAIM QUESTIONED

Who is the heavyweight champion of
the world? After all, does the result
of the recent encounter at Reno sig
nifty anything, Or as much as the son
of the Texas slave would like to inn
ply? Can Mondays battle be honestly
| considered contest for the champion
ship? Does the fact that any man in
perfect condition, who has undergone
eight consecutive years of hard train
ing and passed through sixty three
| successful fights, achieve anything
when he knocks out any man who has
been retired from the ring for six years
no matter how great he may have
been before then?
Should the defat of James ]. JEFF
fries be counted against him? Had the
big Californian been actively in the
ring all these years, would Jack John
son have had any chance Monday?
| There is only a difference of three
years between the ages of these TWO
men. Had Jeffries continued to the
present he might have been in as per-
feet condition as ever, and might have
outdistanced his rival
When the great boilermaker was in
his prime and had arrived at the zenith
of his career, unlike most OF the cham
pions who preceded him, he promptly
met every challenge he received which
was policy without precedent in the
annals of pugilism. And everyone he
met he vanquished in a surprisingly
brief period of time, which, in most
cases. was a disappointment both to
his spectators and the promoters, who
wanted something for their money. The
last fight before his retirement, Aug
rs, 1904. in San Francisco, was finished
in two rounds when he fairly swept the
floor of the arena with Monroe Had
he continued fighting during the in
term. he might have served Johnson
the same as he did Corbett, Fitzsim-
mons, Munroe, Rubin. Sharkey and
the others.
| Only in popular sense do some
term johnson the undisputed cham
pion of the world.
1t, is impossible not to admire John
son for his pluck and indomitable will
and determination to make himself
recognized and his persistence in
reaching the top when so many have
frowned down upon him because of his
color. And another admirable feature
| of his character is his constant good
humor and the everlasting smile he
has worn when he has been the OBJ
ject of others scorn.

JEFFRIES BACK
TO SIMPLE LIFE

Reno, New, July 6.-James J. JEFF

a pitiful end when he fell before Cham
pion Jack Johnson here in the arena
Monday left the scene Of his defeat
at 1880 o'clock last night. He is head
ed toward his alfalfa ranch in south
Iern California and there in the quiet
of his fields, surrounded by the hills he
loves, he will try to forget. In the

his business affairs.
The Jeffries car was hitched to the
regular evening train. He motored
into the city from his camp at Moana
Springs with Berger and other mem
bers of his party an hour before train
time and hid himself as soon as pos
sible from the curious gaze of the
crowd that still thronged the streets of
the worlds fight capital.
In his every stumbling movement, in
his bowed head, in the depths of his
sombre eyes, in his nervous rubbing of
his swollen face. and blackened eyes,
in his almost timid shrinking from the
public, the great Jeffries showed that
his defeat had dealt him a vital blow
and that he never again would be the
man that he was few hours ago.
There was silence as he passed
through the streets. Men rushed
forth from the gambling tables to gaze
but no word of taunt or derision was
thrown at him. Those who saw that
fight and that includes nearly every
body in Reno, knows that Jeffries did
his best.
The train was lost in the red glow
that the sun shed over the Sierras.
Jeffries was gone into history.
