GRIFFITH IN STATEMENT
TO IDA. COUNTY VOTERS
political ADVERTISEMENT
n the Voters of Idaho County:

To the Voters of Idaho County:
Being a candidate for the Office OF
prosecuting attorney at the coming
primary election, it may not be amiss
to state where / stand on at least one
of the important duties of said office.
1 have Served the people of this coun-
ty in the past four terms as their
prosecutor, and it was always my pol
icy, and would be now, to examine
closely into the facts concerning any
alleged Offense, before incurring ex-
pense in the way of preliminary ex-
aminations, or trials. / have real
lied in the past greatly to my polit-
ical detriment that by so doing, my
views did not suit some of the peo-
pie directly interested, but my rea-
sons were submitted to the court in
writing and Sustained. The records Of
which are on file and can be seen at
any time. In fact the law requires
it of a prosecutor, in order that
the alleged offenders may not be
unjustly prosecuted, and to avoid
as far as possible the piling
up of big. costs incident thereto.
OF course it is the duty of q
prosecutor to vigorously prose
cute all violations of the law where
the facts fully warrant same. The
tax burdens upon the people at this
time are almost unbearable, and all
,fficers should use their utmost en-
leavor, consistent with their duties,
o keep expenses down, and such
'olicy if generally observed, would
ave the tax payers many thousands
f dollars.

lesser, permitting them to turn

may be doubted whether forbiddinC
immunity would not really serve as

IL immunity is to be granted, that

possible cooperation between the
federal and state authorities and a
mutual understanding especially in
the matter of granting immunity.

present county attorney to bring

WE OWE MAINE THAT MUCH

The livablcncss of the Maine
climate is again impressed on the
mind by the contrast in the South,
ravaged by storm with terrible toll
of life and property. If anyone
knows of a part of the world less
affected than Maine by the con-
Vulsions of nature and the destruc-
tiveness of the clements they have
not made it public. Those who live
in Maine not only have much to be
proud of but much to enjoy. Are we
doing our best by it? Are we telling
the world about it? Surely not to
the extent we should, and 1t won't
be necessary to brag about it, either.
Just the plain unvarnished truth
will do. That at least we should do
our utmost to disseminate. We owe
Maine that much.

HEARSAY CHICKENS HOME TO

The hcarsay chickens arc roosting

to the news reports. Here is a
sample very like what we have been
bearing from the committee room
where Senator Wheeler has been
prominently figuring and evidently
delighting in the hearsay testimony
respecting Mr.. Daugherty:

of the land permits in which his
client, Gordon Campbell, was in
terested, according to w. w. Rhea,
Colorado oil man, who testities
before the Senate Committee that he

Campbell In January. 1923, and that
Campbell had told him Wheeler was
to be paid for it. The Montana in
dictment charged that the senator
took a fec for appearing before the
Interior Department in the matter"
It is said the land Office flies do
not show that Wheclcrs ever ap-
pcarcd there as an attorney. This
docs not dispel any suspicion that
he took q fee for his Influence"
however. And yet he may be alb

ANOTHER GOOD SELECTION

President Coolidge has made an
excellent selection in the matter of
chairman of the next national Re-
publican committee, according to the
expression of opinion of those &C
quainted with William NJ. Butler.
Mr.. Buffers work on behalf of Mr..
Coolidge's candidacy has been fruit
full. He was the logical selection.
Usually the nominee prefers a chair
man from his own state add there is
now no doubt but Calvin Coolidge if
he lives will be the Republican
nominee. MIR. Butler is said to be
sagacious, an organizer of rccog-
nized ability and possessed of sound
judgment. The President and the
party are to be congratulated on
the choice.

, May day was observed at the

Sun, by putting into practice a new
order Of affairs in the dining room
to Wit.
For some time the powers that
be have observed with diSmay that
matters were going from bad to
worse at this popular eating place.
At the sound of the gong followed
general grand rush for the tables
and the man who succeeded in
getting fernenst the meat platter
got the meat; same with the fiXins
and dessert When it actually be-
came feared that knives and forks
as first aid were likely to become
discarded the Commons committee
went into secret session and dis
CusSed ways and means.
AS Il desperate last stand to RENE
dy matters, it was planned to intro
duce the goods into the Commons
at mealtime to set an example in
table manners. Time was when
the Bates eds and CO. eds ate peace
fully together in the basement of
Parker Hall and from one of the
early grads it is learned that ele-
gance and the last word in table
etiquette marked that epoch.
Before resorting to this drastic in
roVation. however, it was voted to
try scheme whereby each student
signs up for his table reservation:
with an upper classman at the head
of each group to serve and set a
genteel example. This scheme was
tried out with fine effect, the old
system of catch as catch can
abolished and order brought out of
chaos.
The jazziest musicians on the
campus played syncopated melodies
throughout the dinner hour with un.
firing zeal. Nobody was caught
reaching beyond his neghbor for
another helping. drinking from his
saucer nor eating peas with his
knife.
