ceeds. The issue has never be III
raised in judicial way before.
Major Frederick d. Munson
counsel for Captain Barnes, en-.
tered his plea Of lack OF jurisdic.
ton before the specification OF
charges against Captain Barnes
had been read. The accounts in
charge of the latter officer are al.
legged to have shown a deficit whom
he was a commissary officer.

United States army into nine corps
areas and does not mention the
organization Of the district Of
Washington. The latter district
was established Independently a
year after the national defense act
was passed.

PLANS FOR STUDENTS BOARD
ING CLUB IN OPERATION

The plan and purpose of this club
was published last spring at the close
of the school year. In brief we hope
to make it possible for boys and girls
to attend high school at Challis who
could not otherwise have this advan-
tage by usirg food supplies which
they have at home or to have home
and living at the net cost of mater
ials used.
Supt. S. A. Waters is row on the
ground giving personal attertio to
the necessary arrangements for the
club. You may thought your boy or
girl could not go to high school this
year. The Student Boarding Club
may make it possible. Get il touch
with Supt. Waters either by letter or
interview and get the details
Of the plan.
He would like to get the names of
every prospective club member as
early as possible that he may krow
how many to provide for.
School will oper. Sept 9Th. Be ready
at that date if possible but late en-
RES may be made.
By close attention students have
made up several weeks of lost time,
so don't let the necessity of a late
entry keep you from enrolling.

CALVIN COOLIDGE ACCEPTS
NOMINATION FOR PRESIDENT

Washington, D. c. August IA, 1924
The speech of acceptance by Calvin
Coolidge upor his notification that he
had been chosen as the Republican
nomiree for President, delivered here
tonight, is IN address that all of the
people of the nation can understand.
1t was the straightforward utterance
of an honest mara man who did not
minimize the task before him. 1t re-
f1ected the inborri honesty and high
ideals of Calvin Coolidge. The ad-
dress contained TO false promises. 1t
was the plain straight statement of a
mar who believed in the principles of
our government-the statement of a
man who believes ir, the American
people and their desire to do that
which is right.
The President proposes to give the
people of our land government of
common sense and justice Mr.. Cool
idge in his address referred to the
emergency and the present tariff law
He showed that the financial condi-
TORS throughout the land were any
thirg but satisfactory during the year
192e-that five million men were out
oil work-that business was stagnart
that the enactment of the tariff
prevented he importation of goods
made by cheap labor into this coun-
try. He pointed out that if wages
had been lower by reason of the in
fux of foreign. goods that the agricul-
tural situation would have been far
worse showing that q larger home
consumption of agricultural product
was made possible by the wabos paid
as a result of protective tariff.
IN regard tc the matter of agricul-
ture rTr Coolidge stated that this
administration had nassed more bills
to help the farmers than any other
Congress sever has in the history of
the nation. He pointed out the help
that had beerrendered by Intermedi
ate Credit Banks : the Farm Loan
Board and other agencies. He stated
that it was extremely difficult to Sc
cure all needed legislatiorl because 1
the many representatives of farmers
did not agree as a whole |
and at this point the President made |
a suggestion that is entirely new in |
character, namely-he suggests the |
of commission to re-
legislation to congress that |
will help the farmer-legislatio that
will be q relief and to prevent, if pos
sible. any recurrence of depression in
that industry. He stated firmly that
the farmers dollar should have the /
same purchasing power as any other
dollar.
The President recommended
Investigation in the matter of farm
rg He advocated cooperative mar
,eting control of floods better trans
,ortation ard a reorganization of the
reight-rate structue
In the matter of economy Mr.. Cool
dge stated that he was not in favor
# the rich-that he was in favor of
he poor, but that he wanted all cit
zens to be treated with absolute hon
,st y and fairness. He pointed out the
,reat reduction, that had been made
T. taxes and stated that he was in IA
or of further reductions in taxes
hat he wanted every burden possible

payers also TO be berlefted. He point
ed out the remarkable reduction of
public debt since 1921. In the matter
Of labor he stated that this was a gov
ernmert for all the people-that ev-
cry one should be treated fairly with
cut regard to his financial cordition
or occupation. He stated that the gov
ernmert was in favor of voluntary
arbitration between employer and en-
ployee.
The President spoke of the part
that the women of the nation are
going play il its affairs. He stated
that now they are taking an active

Dor legislation he stated in emphatic
tones that TO one has the right to live
from the earnings of children who
should be in school.
Touching upon immigration the
President stated that he bill he signed
would result in maintaining the high
standard of wages of all the people
IN this country-both those who have
Ii, ed here for years and the recert
arrivals.
In the matter of prohibition Mr.
Coolidge ;-iG that the law was on
the statute books and that it was the
duty of every citizen ard also Of the
Chief Elective of the Nation
The President PORTED out that
complete agreement has been reached
with Mexico ard that none has been
in force for forty years or more. The
treaty is one of amity and ore that
will benefit both nations in the mat
ter of commerce. The President poin
ted out that the United States desires
tc be at peace win all nations of the
world. He stated that America should
be willing to loar money to help Eur
ope get on her feet-that it was our
duty to humanity. He stated that
this should come through private re-
sources.
