district would embrace virtually all
of that portion of the state east of
the Rocky mountains, with the Kali
spell territory extending west of the
range. Judge George M. B~ourquin,
who up to the present time has been
the only federal judge in Montana,
has made it known that he will re-
tain the district which embraces Mis-
soula, Helena and Butte, his head
quarters always having been in the
latter place.
Was Newspaperman
Charles N. Pray's first work after
reaching mans estate was that of a
reporter. After completing his aca-
demic and college education at Mid
dlebury college, Middlebury, VT, he
became a member of the editorial
staff of the Chicago Daily News, UNI
der Melville E. Stone. There Mr..
Pray was a co-worker with the late
Eugene Field and other newspaper
men who later became widely known
in the field Of journalism or as men
of letters. To meet any one of the
newspapermen who were connected
with the Chicago papers a quarter of
a century ago invariably is to find
one who knew and admired "Charlie"
Pray.
Mr.. Pray left newspaper work to
study at the Chicago Kent College
of Law and after his graduation he
practiced for a time in Chicago. In
1896 he began the practice of his
profession in Fort Benton, then one
of the foremost centers of the west.
Two years later Mr.. Pray entered
public life upon his election to the
office of prosecuting attorney of
Chouteau county, which since then
has been divided into nine counties.
Held Congressional Seat
Mr.. Pray became a figure known
throughout the state through his
prosecution of men who until then
had operated more or less openly, on
the theory that the law did not func-
tion in the wide open places. Prose
cution of these offenders, coupled
with his gift of oratory, had so
brought him into prominence by
1906 that he on that year was nomi-
mated for Congress and that fall he
was elected to that office. He served
three terms in congress, retiring in
1913, after having been defeated in
1912, the year of the split in the
republican party.
AS a member of congress he was
instrumental in the passage of the
three-year homestead law, the sui
face title and enlarged homesteads
bills and the $40, 900, 900 certificate
bill to complete irrigation projects.
He also figured in the establishment
of the federal bureau of mines and
personally sponsored many relief
that had an important part
in colonizing Montana's open land.

On Thursday evening the Fresh
men met the eighth grade in what
proved to be a real basketball game.
At the end of the first half the 9Th

Win Two On Trip
Our Wolves made a good record
on the western trip last week, win
ming two out of three games played.
Glasgow went down first 1875. Saco
proved harder to handle. The score
was TT until the last minute of play
when Doty shot a basket and Won,

our bows the first half but the old
Wolf Point fight spirit pulled US out
of the hole and gave us the third
game 1914. Harold Thompson
made the trip and injured his knee
in one of the games. AS a result OF
infection he will be laid no for some
time. We hope that his VII

team but Sylvester Smith will take
his place. The debate, through tne
kindness of Froid, was postponed
one week in order to give Sylvester

The only possible pathway to inter
national agreement with reference to
these complicated and difficult fac
tors is through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. 1t is therefore the
unanimous opinion of the Jury that
of the 22,165 plans submitted, Plan
Number 1869 is 'the best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace of the
world"
II Is the unanimous hope Of the Jury
that the first fruit of the mutual ooun-
sci and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption Of
the plan selected will be a general
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of all materials of war.

Picture Machine Paid For
Our moving picture machine has
been paid for. The last 500 has
been paid to the board. On Wednes-
day of this week the films "Cincin-
natl Zoo" and Conquest of the For
est" were shown. These were en-
joyed by all. The pupils gave from
one to five cents to help pay the
transportation of the films we have
been getting. The total given was
$50.
On January 10 the Junior class

good program in the high school as

Great Gathering
The fifth Vocational Congress at
Bozeman last week set a world rec
ord. Over 100 boys were in attend
ance. Four Wolf Point boys were
there and were enthusiastic concern
ing the value of it. The boys gave
excellent talks on Tuesday and We'd
nesday. From their talks we know
the trip was we'll worth while. The
speakers at the Congress came from
all parts of the United States and
were men who rank high in their
particular professions. This Confer
ence has grown by leaps and bounds.
The first Congress held at Bozeman
in 1920 had an attendance of go
delegates. Prof. M. j. Abbey of the
State College deserves much credit
for the success of the Conference.
Bozeman citizens threw open their
homes to entertain the boys and
some meals were given.
Our Boys Ranked High

100000 PEACE PLAN PRIZE AWARDED
Advocates Entering World Court and Cooperation With League
Without Full Membership at ~Present-Suggests League Mem
bership Be Opened to All Nations and Provides for
Development of international Law.

The American Peace Award brought forth 22,165 plans
and many thousands of letters. Since many of the plans were
the composite work of organizations, universities, ETC., a single
plan often represented the views of hundreds or thousands OF
individuals. The content of these plans is therefore an index
of the true feeling and judgment of hundreds of thousands of
American citizens.

The Question to Be Voted Upon

The substantial provisions which
constitute the plan selected by the
Jury of Award, and upon which the
vote of the American people is asked,
are hereby submitted by the Policy
Committee as follows:
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-01-24

These plans come from every group
In American life. Some are obviously
from lifelong students of history and
international law. Some are from per-
sons who have studied little, but who
have themselves seer and felt the
horror Of war-or who are even now
living out its tragedy.
But among them all are these DOM
inant currents: that, if wal is hon
estly to be prevented, there must be
a face-about on the part of the nations
In their attitude toward it; that by
some progressive agreement the man
ufacture and purchase Of the NUM-
tions of wal must be limited or stop
ped; that while no political mechan-
ism alone will insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery of cooperation if the
will to cooperate is to be made effec-
tive; that mutual counsel among the
nations Is the real hope for bringing
about the disavowal of war by the
open avowal of its real causes and
open discussion of them; and finally
that there must be some means Of
defining, recording, interpreting and
developing the law of nations.
Statement of Jury of Award
The Jury of Award realizes that
there is no one approach to world
peace, and that it is necessary to rec
ognize not merely political but also
psychological and economic factors.

In it's decision the court pointed out that Mrs. Fer guson was duly nominated in the Texas primaries and to deny her the right to enter the November cleo tions would be wrong and defeat the intent of the ballot Members of the Ku Klux Klan had secured an in junction to prevent her name going on the November ballots, stating that inasmuch as her husband had been denied the right to again hold office in Texas the same decision would ap- ply to the wife. The court pointed out that the twain were one only in the bonds of wedlock, and under the law could hold property separately, therefore could hold office separately.
