JOHNSON POSSIBLY

Speculation on Outcome of Wrestling
 Match at Majestic Tomorrow Night.

If Balsz can hold Johnson for twenty minutes. I can hold him for an hour and twenty minutes" said Zand Jeffries yesterday.
 L A. Johnson. the Terrible Swede. :" has signed articles to meet both Jef- fries and Balsz at the Majestic theater tomorrow night, agreeing to throw both within an hour. Jeffries isn't at all sure that Johnson Is going to be abe to carry out his contract. In fact he has a faint suspicion that if Johnson should throw him alone in an hour 1t would be an accident.
 If the truth must be told. Jeffries has many friends who hold the same opin- ion. The husky expressman has quite a following here. Johnson is known to be the best wrestler who ever visited Phoenix. but it's a question whether he has much over Jeffries.
 In fact the belief Is quite prevalent among the sports that the Scandinavi- an has bitten off more than he can

AN ADDRESS 10 THE SOUTH
Felix Adler Urges Legisla- tion and Enforcement of It Against Child Labor in the Interest of Civiliza- tion and Humanity.

Birmingham. Ala. March l2-"The
 battle for the child and for the inter
 ests Of civilization, which are jeopar-
 dized by the employment of children | in industry. is not yet won." declared
 Dr. Felix Adler. chairman of the
 national child labor committee, in ad-
 dressing the seventh annual confer
 enee on child labor here today He then made strong plea for the South to come to the rescue of the
 child" The speaker declared. how
 ever. that progress was being made.
 though with uneven acceleration. in
 every part of the country.
 Pointing out that everywhere the
 strong pressure of public opinion is
 being felt in the direction of improved
 legislation and enforcement. Dr Adler continued: The legislation. however,

 mittee appeals 10 right minded men

 Dr. Adler asserted that the move ment to abolish child labor Is an in dispensable requisite in the direction of greater efficiency in the worker. which is now recognized as the su- preme need. The foundations of ef- must be laid in childhood: the physical and mental capital in the child. of which the efficiency in the adult will be the interest. must be kept intact and protected against profligate and spendthrift waste.
 The old South" the speaker eontin- ued in the course of his appeal for rescue by the South. had been dis tinguished by certain admirable quail ties such as respond to the idea of nob1esse oblige. contempt for the more sOrdid aspects of commereialism, the sense of responsibility toward the weak and dependent. The old South Is gone. and the new South. thrilling with vigorous energy. is taking it's place. May we not hope that the vir tues of the old will still survive in the new? That the best qualities of former stage of civilization may be blended with the highest qualities en- sendered by industriaIism?

Though no announcement to that effect has been made it is known that the board of regents of the territorial university, at meeting held in Tue son on Friday. rendered the position of president of the university to Dr Morris F.. Daley. now president of the California State Normal School at San Jose.
 The matter of selecting a new president for the university has been under consideration by the regents since Professor Kendric C. Babcock resigned last fall. About seventy edu- cators in all parts of the country have been considered. but it is understood that the regents have finally settled upon Dr. Daley. provided he will accept
 pr. Daley has not presented a for maj application for the place but he was in Tucson about two weeks ago, looking over the situation. and gained a most favorable impression. There Is every reason to think that he will accept the offer of the regents without hesitation.

GOOD OPPORTUNITY
 FOR THE RIGHT MAN
Fine Opening for a Country Store and
 Postoffice.

Sam F. Webb. who lives no great distance from Cashion station, says there is an opportunity at that point for some hustler with few collars. a little patience. a great deal of industry and common ordinary business ability, to make himself competence if not a fortune To succeed it should be an enterprise mainly commercial but a lit- tie side line of farming. poultry raising or something of the kind should be engaged in until such time as the com mercial end demanded ones entire at tention. The reason Mir. Webb does not improve the opportunity himself is that he has good big farm and all he wants to do to run it.
 The essence of it all is that Cashion is now nothing but a side track, but there is as much room there for a town as any place he knows of and just now there is a crying demand for at least one store and a postoffice. Op- erated jointly they should return some body at least money enough to live on, and once established he believes that in short time the business would grow into a very profitable one. If the right person. possessing the confidence of the public and the postoffice depart ment would either buy or rent just very few acres of ground at the sta tion, put in a stock of d few hundred dollars worth of staple general mer- chandise. adding to it as trade demand ed, it would be an accommodation to a
