attended by over 200 people in Craig
mont last Friday night a movement
was started for the building OF a
community hall, with Owen Meade, j.
M. Reeves, C. E. Mum and Ben Fink
ell as the committee to look after the
financing of the project. The hall will
provide gymnasium facilities for the
Craigmont schools and be used as q
general convention and community
meeting house for that community,
and withal be a most commendable en-
terprise on the part of the citizens
who make it reality.

"moonshine" days in Nezperce, but
it seems to have been misty moon

car left to tell what might have
been if the county peace officers had
not been too alert to permit safe land
ing in this port.

She Is confronted by the Stokes
millions, every dollar ready to spend
its power and influence against her.
Every act and deed of hes life is to
be aired and spread out for a second
time before q sensation loving world
And yet, like William Tell, this lit
tie haired woman, who is SO
and would pass for 10 years younger,
sets her mouth in a firm line, squares
her shoulders, looks her accusers in
the face and says to them-"S Shoot"
To get into the courtroom each day
she has to pass through corridors
lined with eager, curious eyes of those
willing to stand around half a day
just to get a glimpse Of her.
But II she were passing through a
drawing room filed with friends, she
could not be more calm or gracious.
She takes her seat at the table, oppo-
site her accusers as if she were sit
ting down to a hand Of bridge, or wait
ing for a cup Of tea.
And while the lawyers get excited
nd the judge calls order, while Stokes
himself confers with HIS lawyers or
gets up for a stroll in the corridors,
while the witnesses get muddled in
their testimony and the reporters take
tusy notes, she maintains the most
inpersonal interest and the most stoi-
cal calm.
She is the only person at the trial
who is composed and apparently
under no nervous strain. She smiles
frequently. and never during whole
day did I see a look OF scorn or
anger. no matter what was being
brought up against her.
Because. she explained with a
smile, II believe in justice. l believe
in Right
1T believe in BELIEVING in justice
and right no matter how unfavor-
able things look. II you aren't guilty,
a million witnesses and a million dol.
Lars can't make you so, can they?
So why worry?
"Of course. It isn't pleasant TO listen
to what 1 have to IN court It's like
an unpleasant problem play, or a bad
chapter in a morbid book. 1t II were
true, 1t would be too terrible. But it's
just fiction, and take IT as such,
with full confidence that the jury and
the world at large will be able to dis
tinguish between fact and malicious
fancy.

JUVENILE COURT
TO OPEN MOTHERS
PENSION BUREAU
More Money to Be Appropri-
ated if Plan Is Success,
Say CounciImen.

With the installation of the Mothers
Pension Fund department within a
week in connection with the Board Of
Children's Guardians and the juvenile
court, efforts are being made by
county commissioners to find addi-
tional space for the COURT
The court already occupies five
rooms in the basement OF the court
house. Judge Frank j. Lair told the
commissioners that an additional room
is necessary to handle the mothers
allowance work.
Commissioner Kitley said the court
probably will be given the room now
occupied by the Marion County IL
brary, now practically an obsolete IN
stitution, open only on Saturday aft
ernoons.
Board Has $500
The board of children's guardians
has $4,000 to spend in pensions for
needy mothers More will be appro-
priated the first of the year, If the
plan is successful, councilmen stated.
1.-THE trouble with mothers pensions
ii places where 1t has been tried is
that the system has been subjected to
frightful abuse and pensions have
swelled to large burdens on the tax
payers" saic Miss Caroline Goodhart,
secretary Of the board. I'VE have
only this little initial amount and
have limited pensions to widows with
children"
Committee in Charge
The committee which decides who
should receive pensions is composed
of Miss Isabelle Somerville, chief pro-
baton officer for Juvenile Court; the
Rev Morris O'Connor of the Catholic
Community Center; Paul Benjamin
of the Family Welfare Society, chair
man; George Rabinoff Of the Jewish
Federation; Charles o. Lee of the
Flanner House; Harriet Sheppard of
the Family Welfare Bureau, and Miss
Goodhart.
The maximum pension allowed a
mother is mother is rs cents day per
child The idea is to allow mothers
to keep their homes together rather
than put the burden on orphans
homes.

COOLIDGE HOSTILE
TO P|NCHOT PLAN
FOR PROHIBITION
President Declares He Is Too
Busy to Give Dry Law
Personal Attention,

Bg United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Presi-
dent Coolidge is hostile to Governor
Pinchot's plan for placing dry en-
forcement responsibility on the White
House by removing Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes from jurisdiction
of the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue.. There are three reasons for this:
1. Coolidge considers the presidency
as already overburdened. To require
the President to give his personal at
tention to dry enforcement would
force him to ignore other equally pres
ent duties.
2. Coolidge regards Pinchct's sug-
gestion as a direct attack on the in
tegrity of Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon and Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue Blair.
3. Congress has determined the line
of responsibility and placed Haynes
under the two superior officers Of the
Treasury. The President could not
order otherwise without congressional
authority.
VIII Meet Challenge
Coolidge is arranging to meet tbs
challenge Of Governor Pinchot with
his usual Yankee caution. He invited
Fred B. Smith, one Of the directors
Of the dry conference, to dine at the
Whits House Monday night, to dis
cuss plans for Governors conference
Saturday.
The President is unlikely to make
a. formal answer to Pinchot. but he
will give his side Of the situation at
the Governors meeting and point out
why the suggestion of the Pennsyl-
vania executive are regarded as i'm
practical Coolidge is In full sympathy
with prohibition, but he is not inclined
to yield to the views Of the Governor
and repudiate his own Cabinet officer.
Drys Indorse President
The drys gave the President their
endorsement in resolutions adopted at
the closing session of the citizenship
conference Monday.
One official Of the prohibition confer
ence here declared the President was
offended at Pinchot's attacks on weak.
ness on Federal enforcement.
