Chicago, Dec. AT looks as though
the first scrapper, white or black, to take
.whirl with John Arthur johnson in a
heavyweight championship contest.
Johnson announced tonight that he had
received a wire from Jack Curley,
FIynn's manager. promising to find q
club which will give the champion the
$4,000 guarantee he demands.
Il have a telegram from Salt Lake"
said johnson, lin which Curley says he
will get me the $4,000 for a fight with
Flynn. If Curley makes good, the match
is clinched. Curley says he will be back
in Chicago December 81, and that he ex-
poets We can come to an agreement and
sign articles then and there. That suits
me. I am spelling for a fight, and as 1
said before, owe that fellow Flynn an
other trimming, because he beat Kauf-
man and Morris and ruined them as
drawing cards with me. Curley evident
ly knows where he can stage the bout,
and intimateS that it will be somewhere
in the West. L would not be surprised
to see Salt Lake City get the bout"
johnson is some spender when it comes
to making Christmas presents To-day
he gave his wife a diamond necklace, for
which he paid $4,000 last night on his
arrival from the East. The string is
made up of sixty-six diamonds. The
Johnson family has one Christmas din
ner to-day, and will have another to-
morrow.
I'VE had sucking pig, turkey, chicken
eggnog, champagne, and lots of other
things to-day" said Jack tonight, and
I think the same bill of fare will about
suit our folks tomorrow"

New York, Dec. A.-Clean breaks are
the rule hereafter for boxing bouts in
New York State. Since the new State
law controlling the sport went into eff

confusion regarding breaks, some ref

hand free.
At its weekly meeting the State boxing
commission settled the matter, and to
enforce the rule provided that referees
negligent in this respect may be brought
before the commission. The commission
also decided that in future a boxer can
have only four seconds in his corner, and
that seconds must stay in the corner
where they belong.

He Has Never Been
Found Wanting.

When anyone attempts to discredit
Mr.. Bryan he cannot prove an in
stance where the Nebraskan has failed
to come up to the standard. There are
those men who do not believe that
Mr.. Bryan would make a good presi
dent and they have a perfect right to
do so, but when his record or his
character is attacked it is either done
by ignorant persons or by those who
know better and seek to discredit a
good man.
The Richmond Yirginian administers
a needed rebuke to the Greensboro
News which said that when Bryan is
weighed he is always found wanting
The Virginian says that sit depends
very much upon who does the weigh
ing. The people weighed him and
he was accorded the largest popular
vote cast for a Democratic candidate
in many years, in spite of the open
hostility of influential factors in his
own party. The politicians have
weighed him and pronounced him
wanting and have stolen his princi-
pies and are parading them as their
own. Wherever you find vested in
terests, or corrupt political machines
or liquor forces you will find him
weighed and found wanting. but the
clean, honest, patriotic citizens are
very apt to brand him as one of the
highest men in public life. He has
never yet been branded with the dollar
mark and never been accused of wear
ing the collar of any man or aggrega-
ton of men. Independent, courageous
and honest, William ]. Bryan COM

SUNDAY, DECEMBER "a, 1911.
Hon. T. F. West
For Attorney General.

While it cannot be exactly said that
the Office sought him The Journal de-
lights to know that sentiment through
out the state is practically solid for
Tom West, of Milton. for the Office
of attorney general. There are several
reasons for this, but none of them
better express reason than a sum
ming up OF them all-West is the man
for the of1ce.
The Office Of attorney general is
most important one, and for a person
TO fill the Office as it should be filled
1t takes more than the mere knowledge
of the law. 1t requires a man of en-
ergy, a man of determination, and a
man of sufficient stamina to exercise
the rights and duties of the Office, and
Tom West has all Of these qualities.
He is a young man who has a
record without a flaw; he has reached
his present position by his own en-
ergies and by enjoying the full con-
fidence of the people with whom he
comes In daily contact. The Journal
feels that the Florida voter cannot do
better than to vote for the Santa Rosa
man for attorney general. He Is a
young man who will be heard from as
the state grows and the services Of the
able and faithful are needed.

Pensacola Harbor and
The S6-Mile Gale.

The presence of the U. S. Battle
ships Florida and Utah in Pensacola
Bay the Florida drawing 80 feet and
the Utah drawing 20 feet, 8 inches of
water, afforded a practical demonstra-
ton of some of the conditions existing
here which go to make up a great
harbor.
But breadth and depth are not the
only thing required for a safe harbor.
Good anchorage ground is of equal sig
nificance.
Wednesday night there blew gale
of wind that reached velocity of
Sc miles an hour. This was some We
locity. Yet the warships-five of them
rode the gale out without danger or
even inconvenience. They were able
to do it because Pensacola Bay has a
good holding ground-something not
to be found IN every body of water.
Capt. Benson, commanding the
Utah, said before leaving:
THE FACT THAT THESE SHIPS
RODE OUT AN 86-MILE GALE
WITHOUT MOVING A FOOT Is A
PRETTY GOOD ASSET IN PENsA-
coLA's FAVOR"
We should say it is, and that is one
reason why new railroads are rushing
Pensacolaward in order to be doing
business through Pensacola harbor
when the Panama Canal opens.

Trial of the
Meat Trust Officials.

Unless he Is following in the foot
steps of his predecessor who barked
loudly at every opportunity, but never
used his teeth in any instance, At
torney General Wickersham is going
to put to the test the criminal pro-
visions Of the antitrust laws of this
country.
In making this test he has taken one
Of the most vicious Of all trusts, be-
cause this one has definitely broken
the laws and it's offenses have been
felt by every man and woman in the
country, for the prices of meats has
been affected for thirty years by the
beef trust men. On behalf Of the
government Attorney General Wicker
sham charges that the meat trust is
the most powerful system for the
suppression of competition and the
fixing of prices ever known in the
history Of the industrial world, and
that It has dominated the meat in
dustry and fixed prices since 1880;
that the country was divided under
the old pooling system into different
divisions. and each member of the
pool allowed a certain percentage of
the business. and that a similar sys-
tenn is still in existence; that a system
OF forfeit was paid to members who
failed to get their percentage OF the
business, and these forfeits were in
the nature Of fines on those who ex-
ceeded their allotment; that formerly

criminal provisions of the Sherman

white hairs on their heads, walked

more than passing interest, but when
it is known that the son of one Of
these men had murdered the daughter
OF the other one. the friendship Of the
two is remarkable. These men were
