THE LAST BIG FIGHT2

wi ANY of the newspapers consider that the
- - prize fight at Reno marks the beginning
of the end of the so-called battles OF the ring.
It has been said all along that this was to be the
final fight that in a few months there would be
a law in Nevada prohibiting such contests would
80 into effect which would leave the fighters no
place in the union to pull off" their brutal ex-
hibitions But it may be that New Mexico
and Arizona when they enter statehood will offer
inducements for fighters
Probably there will be no big contest in the
ring in the near future for it is evident that
there is no man in sight who is capable OF
wrestling the championship honors from John
son, When II is considered that the fighting
game is good for vast amount of money it is
unlikely that those interested in il will drop out,
for the commercial reward will be the lure TO
lead on the fighters.
Jeftries, although defeated came out of the
contest with fortune larger than that received
by his victorious opponent effries could well
afford TO stand the punishment in view OF the
monetary reward.
There would be others willing to take the same
dose for the same amount of money. Never
theless fights like that at Reno are demoralizing
in every way No good can come of them.

CHIEF JUSTICE FULLER.

{ HIEF Justice Melville W. Fuller, who died
on the Fourth. held his exalted position
for twenty two years and served the nation with
fidelity and ability, He will not rank with some
OF the greatest OF his predecessors, but he will
hold distinguished place He had all the quail
hcations Of a Chief Justice and when appQ6nted'
by Mr.. Cleveland to that position it was at once
recognized that the appointment was fitting On
the bench and of he upheld the dignity OF the
high office
In early life the late Chief Justice was sup
porter OF the Douglass School OF the Demo
cratic party and he carried the traditions OF the
old school to the bench. As years went by he
gained in the hold he had upon his associates who
regarded him with the utmost respect
The death OF the Chief Justice puts a
very important duty up TO President Taft It
means practically the reorganization of the SUI
preme Court, as three new men will go upon the
bench. Governor Hughes was appointed some
time ago. a successor will be named to Justice
Moody who will retire and a successor TO the
Chief Justice is now to be added TO the list The
new bench will settle the disputed questions re-
garding railroads. The Standard oil and the
