No MORE JUDGING
ON R. R TICKETS

Judging on railroad tickets will
hereafter not be allowed. Tickets
which expire on a certain day ~i,l
not be good after the stroke of
midday of that day, and passengers
riding one minute after twelve
o'clock will be obliged to punglc
up. This is according to a ruling
on the question OF the life of a
railroad ticket by the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Com
mission holds that the ticket is
limited to the date stamped
upon il.
On this coast it has been the
custom of passengers to delay
their excursion trips to the last
day allowed by their tickets.
They have been going upon the
assumption that if they started on
the return trip at any time prior
to the last hour Of the last day.
the ticket was good for the ride
home no matter how long the ride
home, required. This is all
changed now. after midnight"
rides must bc paid for. If a
passenger is 30 miles from home
at midnight one minute after that
hour the conductor can collect
fare for the balance Of the home.

a board of padorns that turns
thieves and murderers loose upon
the commonwealth after they have
served but a mere fraction of
of the sentences imposed upon
them, The pretended enforcement
of law becoVes a farce and the
penalty Of a p~cnitentiary
sentence an idle jest. Criminals
who have committed the most
dastardly outrages against society
are dealt with as might be some
school boy who merely trespasscd
against the rules of dccorum.
Until the present habit of turning
criminals loose before they have
barely commenced to serve the
sentences imposed upon them is
discontinued, We can net blame
Washoe and all other counties if
they utilize their public funds for
purposes that Will bring more
satisfactory results. If the present
system of Furnishing criminals is
