certainty Darcy will not get more
than that sum if he met Gibbons or
any other good rival in a ten round
bout here or in any part of the coun-
try.
Considering the Carpentier-Darcy
bout as practically cinched, it is no
more than fair to the public that the
men engage in contests with some
good men before they clinch. Darcy
comes here very we'll recommended
but in the case of Carpenter it is
different. The Frenchman has been
taking an active part in the war and
it is a question whether he is now
fit for scrap with the doughty
bushman. Upper picture shows Darcy

Turing proposition the other day on
the ground that the amount offered

GOVERNOR SEES
PENN MOVIES
State Officials Attend Private
View of Easton Celebra-
ton at Majestic

No doubt lay in the minds of anyone
who saw the William Penn Highway
Easton film at the Majestic theater
this morning that there were over
thousand automobiles in the parade
of cars which carried visitors to the
Z scene of the dedication of the New
York Extension at castor November
2. Governor Brumbaugh attended the
private view, as did Commissioner
Frank B. Black of the Highway De-
partment, Chief Engineer Uhler, Pres
ident Jennings of the William Penn
Highway and several score others.
The first part of the Easton film
shows bad road. 1t is a piece of
worn-out macadam, rutty and full of
miniature lakes. The trouble ma
chimes and horse-drawn vehicles have
in negotiating such q road is visual
lied. Then comes the new concrete
straightaway, eight miles in length,
connecting Bethlehem and Easton.
The camera man travelled in q high
powered car and got over several
miles of the highway. After that
comes a view of the remarkable pro-
cession containing nearly 1900 auto
mobiles, each loaded to the tenders
with folks going either to the Bethle-
hem end of the road to watch Gov.
Brumbaugh dedicating the highway,
or to Oakland park. There are several
remarkable crowd scenes, and a posed
picture in which Gov. Brumbaugh,
Charles M. Schwab and E. j. Cattell,
Philadelphia city statistician, are the
principal figures. Col. Harry c. Trek
Ter also posed for the picture.
An added feature" of the little
show this morning was 200 feet of film
taken in Ebensburg in September,
when the Governors third agricultural
tour stopped for lunch Many prom
inent State officials appear in this
short film.
The William Penn Highway next
week begins the showing of its Easton
films throughout Pennsylvania. Prior
to the showing of the / ,05O feet exhi-
bited for the first time this morning
there will be screened 1900 feet show
ing the actual construction work on
the Easton- Bethlehem highway. This
film was to have been shown the Gov
ernor to-day, but the messenger failed
to arrive from Worcester, Mass.

THE CORN RATE REDUCTION.

The Florida Railroad Commission hav-
ing reduced freight rates from ten to forty
per cent, depending on the distance, on
local shipments Of corn, has. made It posi-
bic for West Florida to compete with
northern importations. That this region
will be stimulated to greater corn produc-
ton. of course goes without saying.
The new corn rates, which will go into
effect on December /, 1916, are on a car
load basis Of 10000 pounds, and are as fol-
lows. from all stations on the L. & n. IN
Florida to River Junction and Pensacola:
10 miles. and under, &c per 100 lbs.
80 miles and over 10, &c per lOO IDS
90 miles and over so, 10c per 100 lbs.
165 miles and over 90, 12c per 100 lbs.
Under the old discriminatory system, the
rates were from one to eight cents hum
dred pounds higher which rendered It al
most impossible for our farmers to compete
with the shippers from a thousand m1leS
away. $4,000
Pensacola alone imported 5,297, 1886
pounds Of corn last year-worth about
100000; and the volume of foreign corn
imported into all West Florida must have
been enormous.
Producing its own feeds, this country
will not only save the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars it sends north every year
but it will also develop the hog and cattle
industries, which is impossible when feed
must be bought.
Inasmuch as the freight reductions are
from the various points to Pensacola, the
industry will of course center here. 1t does
not require prophet to foresee an elevator
in Pensacola to cure, sack, and handle the
corn That will take care of itself wher
the time comes: it remains only for oul
merchants, bankers, and commercial or
CARNATIONS to speed the day as much a.
possible, by encouraging relations with tht
country, backing every agricultural enter
prise, and giving the preference, on th'
market, to all West Florida produce.

NO RAILROAD STRIKE FEARED.

Our old friend, the railroad strike, is back
in the papers. When representatives of the
railroads and of the brotherhoods met in
conference in New York the other day to
determine on the proper application of the
eight hour law which goes into effect on
January 1, they were unable to reach any
agreement. The mileage system of COM
pensation was mentioned as the stumbling
block The newspaper correspondents
forthwith hurried to the telegraph office and
flung the word deadlock" over the coun-
try.
If it were not SO tiresome it would be
funny The managers had no intention
whatever of seeking a harmonious adjust
ment at this conference: having filed suits
attacking the constitutionality of the law,
they could hardly be expected to endorse it
to the extent of determining its operation.
Even though the managers, in opposi-
ton to the new, order, should resort to more
provocative measures than they were able
to employ at the conference, any probable
ity of a strike, as seen by the deadlock
writers, may be dismissed as quite chimeri-
cal. Minimum wage laws, and laws regu-
lating the length of working DAYS have
been upheld time and again, and there is lit
tie doubt that the Adamson law will be sup
ported by the courts. But whether it is or
not, one warning is sufficient. and the gov
eminent will never allow the country to be
brought to the starvation, business desola-
ton, and industrial paralysis that a national
tie-up of railroads would cause
