lection Of tolls on the Panama canal.
Representative Mann of Illinois, chair
man of the interstate commerce COM
mittee which will deal with the sub
ject, has conferred with the president
and in all probability will introduce
the administration measure.
The president believes that the tolls
ought not to exceed one dollar per net
ton, with a view to obtaining gross
income of about $7,O00,000.
The maintenance and operation, it is
estimated, will cost upwards of $3,000,-
900 and the presidents view is that
ultimately, with the normal increase
in trade, the income will approximate
the interest charged upon the $400,-
100000 investment which the United

Food Package Branding.
AS the result of conference with
delegation of New York and Chi
cago business men, Representative
Mann of Illinois, chairman of the
house committee on interstate COM
MERGE, will introduce a substitute for
his bill amending the pure food law
relating to the branding of packages of
food, drugs, medicines and liquors.
The substitute, which is designed to
serve as a model for uniform legisla-
ton by the states, provides that if the
net quantity of the contents of the
package is not plainly and conspicu-
ously marked on the outside the ar
ticle will be deemed to be 1nisbranded.
The substitute allows reasonable
variations and provides that tolerance
shall be established by rules and regu-
lations made under the pure food law.

point to payroll increases that total
$100,000,000, according to President
N. G, Brown of the New York Central
system. On the other hand Secretary
John NJ Glenn, of the Illinois Manu-
facturers' Association, declares. The
railroads are making barrels OF
money and the advances in wages &c
employees are not sufficient excuse
for freight boosts. All last year and
in fact, since September, 1908, the net
earnings for all roads in the country
as compared with the corresponding
month for the year before ran from
$4,000, 900 to $19,000,000 ahead. II
November, 1909 the increase over
November 1908. was $1S,995,G00. Fol
the year ended June 30, 1909, about

JEFFR|ES-JOHNS0N FIGHT
Ministers of California Oppose Exhi-
bition July 4-Former Cairo
Pastor Heard.

The Independent of Santa Barbara,
Cal, of May 4 contains statements by
the ministers of the city regarding
the prize fight to be given in that
state July by Jeffries and Johnson
Among the ministers interviewed Is
Rev. Chas. H. Armstrong formerly Of
the Lutheran church here, who, like
all the others, opposes the exhibi-
ton. He Is quoted as follows.
Il put prize fighting and football In
the same category brutal, de-
grading exhibitions Of the lowest type
of athletics. Prize fighting Is of course
more brutal and attracts the lowest
type of man. | attended the motion
pictures Of the recent Nelson olgast
fight and studied the faces of the men
who were at the fight. On the whole
they looked the crook and thug.
while | believe sincerely in the
short boxing bouts which develop
ones physical strength even these
when not conducted under proper
supervision diverge from their aim and
allow the brutal, immoral and degrad-
ing influences to creep In. The more
proficient man becomes in this art
the more he will be under the tempta-
ton to enter the prize fighting ring
for money. This leads to fighting,
not to show ones physical strength
and skill, but to win money by fair
means or foul. Most all of the prize
fights of today are framed up The
weaker man is just as liable to win
| in this case.

spring bull fighting and we look with
horror upon the days when the Ro-
man gladiators fought against the
unarmed Christians in the amphi-
theatre. The same kind of attraction
presents itself in the case of the mod
ern prize fight. We should study our
selves and take the same stand
against our degrading influences at
home. that we have condemned
abroad
California allows this sport be-
cause it attracts the crowds. 1t

prosperity exists. The eastern states
have long since put an end to it, We
should not remain long in following
suit. Prize fighting should be strictly
