guished body of men before. You,
before all men. are the most trusted.
Nobody would entrust me with the
sums of money, and the secrets, that
are placed in your keeping and they
are not often misrlaced. You are the
men that are looked up to as leadersJ
in the community in which you live;
who aid every progressive movement;
who are always willing to aid us in
cur property deals and transfers:
who must help us in oar financial
troubles, and who are moTC than will
ing to take care of our cash, if we
have any.
"Well! We are glad you are here,
and welcome you to me of the finest
and cleanest towns in Cass county. We
mry not be as progressive as some,
but we are young, we can learn and
grow.

which minister to the spiritual wants
of our people. We have an up to date
school where our youth is molded in
to good citizens. We hare two No. 1
banks, who in strength, efficiency,
accommodations and service, compare
well with the best in the connty.
"We welcome you to our town and
cur homes, where you will find a
great wholehearted welcome, from a
live, happy and prosperous people.
We hope you will enjoy your visit,
and carry away with you, in your
memory, the though that you have
been with friends; that love you and
cherish your friendship. The town
is yours while your are here.

To the glory of our time it can be
said that our boya come to an age
far different than has been the priv
ilege of boys of other days. Their
nature in the raw may not have
changed, but what a different world
is theirs in which to work and live
and play! A broader conception of
education confronts them; the envi
ronment and resourcefulness of a
marvelous period surround them, op
portunities a hundred-fold multiplied
have opened to them. All that re
mains is to give them the right
equipment, the "glad hand" and the
proper impulse and we shall have a
wonderful human product of a won
derful age.
If it be true that as the twig is
bent so will the tree Incline, It Is
also true that as onr boys are train
ed and developed so will our nation
be so will be the world. It is op
portune, therefore, that during this
week we should give special atten
tion to the ' "Back-to-School" cam
paign, which carries with it the
challenge as to whether we are do
ing onr fullest in backing our edu
cational institutions; whether we
are heeding the necessity for aug-
menting our educational facilities
and safeguarding the quality and
the temperament of the teaching
staff. Only by interesting ourselves
in oar educational cgeneic can we
feel assured that boyhood will be
given every possible chance for de
velopment in order that sturdy bod
ies, fertile minds and moral worth
may be created. Thus and thus
only do these agencies become an in
stitution for the promotion of prog
ress and the establishment of inter
national good will.
PENSION FOR
THE INDIANS
But Interior Departngnt Has Dif
ficulty in Locating the
Beneficiaries.
Washington. April 24. Con
fronted with the problem of award
ing pensions to Indians who emnot
remember their names, the interior
department has begun a systematic
effort to learn who's who on the
Pueblo Bonito reservation in Amer
ica. The department wants to identi
fy aged Indians, most of them
Navajos, who. as United States scout s
in the Apache campaign in lSS.r.
helped General Miles chase Gc-ronimo.
Word from the superintendent
that pensions would be forthcoming
brought wrinkled red men between
the ages of sixty-three and eighty
from the distant corners of the reser
vation. They were veterans of the
United States scouts but few had
proof of it and could not remember
the names under which they enlisted.
None could recall the dates and most
of them had destroyed their elist-
Four pensions alreadv have been
awarded, the back pay in some cases
amounting to as much as $1,800.
AGAIN BOWS TO PEASANT
Moscow, April 22. The soviet
government today made a further
concession to the peasantry by aree
ing to allow them to employ salaried
laborers on their farms.
Heretofore the regulations govern
ing nationalization of land and re
distribution of property forbade peas
ants to engage such labor because of
the government's belief that this
might lead to the accumulation of
large areas of lands in the hands of
certain peasants. The present soviet
land law specifies that no one shall
possess more ground than he is able
to work himself.
Attempts have been made to ap
ply to villages the same labor regu
lations as govern the industrial
worker in the city. But it was found
that this was incapable of enforce
ment and caused much dissatisfac
tion among the peasantry, who in
sisted on employing farm hands at
their own terms.
The new labor regulations give
the peasant the right to extend the
work day beyond the statutory eight
hours, to conclude agreements with
their workmen for twelve month
periods and to pay them either in
cash or goods.

' Baugherty's Nemesis Triumphs in
Case After Only One Ballot
Taken By the Jury.

! hT Jury in federal court here to -
night.
The accused senator received two
Dieces of rood news simultaneously
his acquittal and the birth to Mrs.
Wheeler of a daughter in Washing-
ton.
Senator Wheeler only smiled when
the verdict was announced. Judge
Frank S. Deitrich, before the verdict
was read, warned spectators against
any demonstration.
Senator Wheeler was indicted by
a federal grand jury here April 8,
1924, on a charge of illegally appear
ing before the department of the in
terior in behalf of his client, Gordon
Campbell, Montana oil promoter.
He was specifically charged with
accepting a fee of 4 thousand dollars
for prosecuting Campbell's govern
ment oil prospecting permit claims
after being elected " to the senate.
This the indictment charged was in
violation of section 113 of the Lnit -
ed Slates penal code.
Branded Charge as False
The accused senator, appearing on
the floor of the senate, the next day,
branded the indictment as a frameup
on the part of the department, of jus
tice because of hi? activities as a
i prosecutor for the Daughorty senate
inveFtigating committee.
His colleague. Senator Thomas J.

man ever had an abler defender

never repay him for what he has
done for me and what I say about
the senator applies to my other

Mr. Walsh declared he regarded
the case as nn offshoot of the Tea

started nearly two years ago. and

Senator Wheeler said:
"It was just a case for me. I am
the district attorney and had no
choice other than to prosecute. There
is no ill feeling."
Exactly two hours and thirteen
minutps elapsed between the time
the jury retired to deliberate and the
verdict was returned. Out of this
time the jury took one hour to dine.
The actual time for deliberation was
but a few minutes, according to court
attaches.
But one ballot was taken. In spite
of Judge Dietrich's order against
demon strationa there was a rush to
ward the bench when the verdict was
read. Friends of Senator Wheeler
