GRADUATING CLASS
HEAR STEPHEN PACE

LESLIE, May 27.-Union High
schools commencement season
came to close onday evening with
the exercises of the graduating class
and a literary address by Hon.
Stephen Pace of Americus-12
bright, beautiful, hopeful girls and
four manly promising young men
received diplomas which were de-
livered to them in splendid form by
Mr.. Pace and were gracefully taken
by the class.
The exercises of these young
PEOPLE were carried out with unus-
ual merit and excellence-in fact it
is the general impression that the
scholarship average of the class
of 1924 rises to a high plane testi-
flying to the diligence and patience
of the faculty and the determination
of the class. 1t is pleasing and Ell
couraging to note that with each re-
curing commencement evidence Of
good work and training is at hand
how proud the people should be
and how strengthened, to sustain
and expand this fine understanding
in our midst. These "Home Col
leges" should lie ever near the
hearts of one and all, for here are
the future leaders in citizenship TO
be equipped for their life work.
The address by Col. Pace was
characterized by richness of diction,
clearness of expression, charity Of
thought and forcefulness of de-
livery, thus placing it in high rank
among services of this kind-it is
/ confidently ITO be hoped that the
noble ideals pictured to these young
people by the speager will bear rich
and full fruitage in the years to
come. 1t reminds US that it is a
habit of Col. Pace always to re-
spond to calls Of. service Of this
kind amongst his people and how
inspiring and encouraging it is
when our prominent and strong men
are willing, amid the cxacting la
bors of professional life, to 90
forth to do unselfishs service or the
betterment and elevation ara in
spiration of our people

on roads or other construction or
repair work-for the period during
which his pay was equalized to COLI
form to the compensation paid to
civilian employees in the same or
like employment;
Any Individual who was discharg-
ed or otherwise released from the
draft-for the period of service
terminating with such discharge or
release.
These periods referred to may he
include, however in the case Of
any individual if and to the. extent
that the Secretary of War and Secre
tary of the Navy jointly find that
such service subjected such indi-
vidual to exceptional hazard.
Each veteran shall be entitled:
To receive adjusted service pay"
if the amount Of his adjusted services
credit is $50 or less;
To receive an adjusted service
certificate" if the amount of his
service credit is more than $50.
The administration of the law is
under the United States Veterans
Bureau, which after March 1, 1925,
will make the $50 or less cash pay
ment to veterans and Jan. /, 1925,
will begin issuing the 2O-year en-
dowment life insurance policy GER
tificates. These certificates will be
dated at the time issued to veterans,
and no loans will be made on a
certificate until two years after its
date of issue.
If veteran has died, before max.
ing application, his dependents will
be paid the amount of his Adjusted
Service Credit. If this credit is $50
or less, payment will be made in one
sum by the Veterans Bureau. If
the credit is more than $50, the pay
ment will be made in ten quarterly
installments.
If the veteran has died after max.
ing application, but before January
1, 1925, then the amount Of the full
face value of the insurance policy
will be paid in the same manner as
if he had received the policy prior
70 his death, but not before January
/, 1925.
The face value Of the 20-year En-
do~nnent Insurance Policy which a
veteran will receive, is. the amount
which his Adjusted Service Credit,
plus rs per cent would purchase at
his age, based upon American Ex-
perience Tables of Mortality, wick
interest at 4 per cent per annum,
compounded annually. If the veter-
an dies before the expiration Of the
20 years, his beneficiaries or estate
will receive the full amount of tie
policy, in cash in one sum. If the
veteran is living at the end of Tie
20-year period, the government will
pay him the full face value of his
policy in cash, less any claims for
sums borrowed on it.

CITIZENS COMMITTEE
FLAYS DR.. BUTLER IN.
CAUSIIC STATEMENT
Columbia University President
Aroused Of disappearing
Utterance of Coolidge M
FORMALLY WARNS PUBLIC
''HomeS and Property IN Dan
ger Because of Such Ut
terances IT'S Declared

NEW YORK, May27.-Suggest
ing that Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler
take the course in straight thinking
at Columbia University, of which he
is President, the Citizens Commit
tee Of One Thousand announced to-
day that It accepts his challenge and
will hold meetings and conferences
throughout the country inbehalf Of
law Observance. "Our homes and
our PRIORITY are in danger" it de-
clares.
Asking whom President Butler
means when he says "When you
hear a p6blic officer or a candidate
for elective office cry out with
particular JUNCTION for law enforce
ment, tap him on the hip" the Com
mittee declares he certainly cannot
mean President Coolidge, and con-
tinues Such sweeping utteranccs
are at least unfortunate"
Besides this, the Committee &C
cuses Dre. Butler of disappearing
the position Of President Coolidge.
1t claimshe quoted from an address
by President Coolidge when he was
Vice President and would give the
impression that the President then
depreciated the triumph of prohibit
ton. It-points out that Mr.. Cooli-
dge was not speaking of prohibition,
but on ''The Limitations Of Law" in
general : The statement also points
out thatsin the same adress Presi-
dent Coolidge called for ali citize rs
ito enfogce, support, and obey the
law"
The statement, which is a formal
reply to- the address of President
Butler before the Missouri Society
and to BIS recent newspaper com
municati0ns, is in part as follows
Let she public take careful no
tiee Of pr. Nicholas Murray But
ier's utterances. lie is a distinguish
ed citizen a great orator and presi-
dent of 4he largest American uni
versity.
He says that it is generally ad-
united hat the Eighteen Amend
ment Itself is a violation of the prin.
clples upon which our Government
rests, and that high authority has
argued strongly for the view that
the Eighteenth Amendment was
never cqnstitutionally and legally
inserted IN the Constitution at all
he Is t1eshing old straw. He is
restatingsthe precise argument that
was made by Senator Root and Mr..
Guthrie Before the United States
Supreme Court in 1919 when the
court disposed of these contentious
finally and adversely.
In the National Prohibition
Cases 258 U. S. $50 the Supreme
Court hsld that the Eighteenth
Amendment was lawful and consti.
tutlonal and that that amendment
by lawful proposal and ratification
has become part Of the Constitution
and must be respected and given eff.
feet the game as other provisions Of
that instrument" fm
