THE SPOKANE SPIRIT.
SPOKANE is a striking instance of what a determined
body of men who work together can do in creating a
city. There was not halt' tho excuse or opportunity a
quarter of a century ago for building a metropolis at Spo
kane that there is for building one at Medford today.
Medford has got the right kind of a start she is off
on the right foot. Hor pcoplo, this is most of them, are
enterprising and progressive, and liberal contributors to
the public good. But she has only a start as yet, and must
keep onj)rogresaing. There aro a thousand things to be
done, and the people must act as a unit in doing them.
Spokane's fight against the railroads for lower rates
is a striking instance of the Spokane spirit and what it
has accomplished, and what Spokane has done, Medford
can also accomplish. The story of Spokane's struggle for
lower rates is summarized as follows by the Spokesman
Review: "After 19 years of costly and unremitting struggle,
Spokane has at last come into a part of her rights as the
industrial and commercial capital of the Inland Empire.
"During all that period the history of Spokane's ap
peal to the authority of the federal government has been
ore of discouragement, opposition and almost intolerable
delay. Against the manifest rights of the city have beeu
airayed, uot only the powerful railroads and their skilled
attorneys, but the solid hostilitv of the coast cities and
their representatives. ,
'Twice has victory been apparently within the grasp!
of Spokane, first in 1S92, when the interstate commerce;
commission ordered a general rate reduction, only to be
overruled by a decision of the supreme court, and second, ,
in February, 1909, when the rates on 34 commodities were '
ordered reduced, only to be suspended, pending the fil-(
ing of a compromise by the railroads. i
"During all that time, the steady, indomitable spirit of,
Spokane citizens has kept 'everlastingly at it,' and the re
sult is a splendid tribute to the courage and resolution oft
the men who have made themselves prominent in the fight
for better rates. '
"Throughout the entire struggle Spokane not only
ably and resolutely urged her own interest, but carried
thef ight for the whole intermouiitain country. The ' Spo-,
kane case' was the typical example, always cited in con
nection with rate discriminations everywhere and a text
for debate in congress as well as an inspiration for strag
glers elsewhere.
"AValla Walla, Baker City, Pendleton and La Grande
share in Spokane's victory. Phoenix, Portland and Reno
also gain important points.
"The result is the most important commercial victory
that Snokane has ever achieved. According to experts, it
will frvpntlv enforce its territory. It will stimulate manu
factures, and it means that Spokane will move steadily,
forward."
INDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON

THE NEGRO'S VICTORY.
D
EFEAT of Jeffries by Johnson places prize fighting
where it belongs, among the "niggers." It is a
brute's game, and the biggest brute wins.
Pugilism is a brutalizing sport. Its patronage is due to
a survival, beneath the veneer of civilization, of barbar
ism. It has not a single redeeming feature. It is in its
decadence, for, like all professional sport, it has been capi
talized by unscrupulous promoters, who live by faking the
public. The pugilist is a parasite anad produces nothing
worth while.
It makes no difference whether the Jeffries-Johnson
fight was on the square or not. Nine-tenths of the fights
are not. There is no reason for believing this was any
exception. On the one side is a needy retired pugilist,
effeminized by a life of ease, booze and dissipation. On
tho other, a ficrhter in his prime, ambitious to climb still
higher. The ex-pug gets the cash, the other the glory.
The same old story.
Like the racing game, the results in prize fighting are
usually manipulated by promoters who thereby reap gold
en harvests on the betting. There was no indication in
tho Reno fight that Jeffries was in good physical form,
that he was capable of injuring his opponent, or even tried
to. But he got the coin.
The baleful effects of the Jeffries-Johnson fight will
be felt for many a day through the south. The simple
minded negro will regard Johnson's victory as proof of
social position, and he will attempt to show his superior
ity bv the usual method, insulting white women, crowd
ing them off sidewalks, etc. and there will be many a,
dead negro and many a race not berore it is over.
