THE HISTORY OF ARIZONA.

Hon. T. E. Parish has written and print ed eight volumes of Ariona's history and he has collected most of the data necessary 50 complete the work up to statehood. Fortunate indeed are our people to have such an able historian, one whose ripening years of service to the state has made him rich in mental en- dowment. There is resolution pending iii the legislature to place the history of Arizona in the public schools also to have the history extended to the end of the territorial period The small expense necessary should not stand in the way.
 Much valuable data of early days has been lost already beyond recovery. We hope the veteran historian will be kept on the job until the entire work is completed and placed in the schools of the state.

A meeting of representatives labor unions in Phoenix passed resolutions favoring a shorter working day a means of absorbing any surplus labor which may occur because of the returning soldiers. At the meeting there was much irrelevent talk that did not touch the question of increasing the number of jobs ill this country. For instance, one resolution adopted, demanded the release of all political prisoners in Russia and all in- dustrial prisoners in the United States Tha public would have been better informed if the Phoenix meeting had been more definite in specifying the industrial prisoners in this country whom they desired released If this demand includes Bill Haywood and his fol lowers, who were proven guilty of trying to balk this country in its war on Germany sure ly the number who would agree with the Phoenix resolution is not large.

j. B. Gambrell, president of the South
ern Baptist convention at the opening
of the convention today.
More than two thousand messengers
and visitors are present. A digest of
reports of convention boards was pre-
sented at this afternoons session.
Dr. Lansing Burrows, of Amercus,
statistician of the convention and a
former president, was prepared to de-
| liver his report this afternoon In an
interview he revealed the substance of
his report which indicates the very
successful years achievements of the
denomination. DR.. Burrows, who is
an acknowledged leader among Sou
thern Baptists and greatly beloved by
thousands, has been statistfciar for

ceeded their contributions of the pre-
vious year by $3,506,262, and have
brought their grand total of all con-
! tributions for the year up to $l7, 1851, :

tions as follows. For home purposes,
| S12, ,941 ,828, which is an increase in one

/ crease for the year of $5,201 1872 In
the matter of bapisms, Dr. Burrows
will report decrease this year of
about $4,000. This decrease is due to
the faulty manner of sending in re-
ports in vokue in some Of the associa-

ANNAPOLIS CENTER
OF SPORT PROGRAM

ANNAPOLIS. May lon Saturday
there will be a program of sports here
which is not equaled in any place in
the country this spring. At the Naval
Academy there will be six events IN
as many different branches of sport
while ST. Johns will add another to
the list by its annual baseball game
with Maryland State.
At the Naval Academy, Syracuse
will row the Midshipmen with its

same institution will send its lacrosse
team to end the local season against
the Naval Academy. Three opponents
OF the Naval Academy will be fur
nished by the University OF Pennsyi-
vania, the sports being field and
track, tennis and rifle shooting. The
list will be completed by a baseball
game between Virginia Military In
stitute and the Naval players.
1t is a fact that there are more ath
letic contests at the Naval Academy
than on the grounds or waters OF any
other collegiate institution. The
Academy is regularly represented IN
every sport which has taken hold in
the colleges, and nearly all of the
games are played At Annapolis. This
makes possible the unrivaled Offering
Of sports the Academy presents at al
seasons.
