Herbert Hoover goes into the executive mansion a Calvin toolidge passed out of the picture with practically every possible prerequisite that the rew incoming president should have. He has experienced every position possible to acquaint him with his duties ( i,s President of the United States, and is unquestionable the best tors as policy of the administration for the coming term. Law erfocement, and world wide peace from war, were the two major topics of Hoover's inaugural address. Law enforcement re?ts with the people, Hoover stated, and the people are just as respons. ible to the government in obeying the laws as the officers of the nation are to enforce it. , World wide peace can be secured by the cooperation of the na-Mo- ns of the earth in a humanitarian method and can be arcomp-lishe- d largely through the education of the people of the world to the untold horrors of battle and bloodshed.

In a steady downpour of rain Herbert Hoover, the man who received the greatest number of votes ever cast for a president of the United States was sworn into the high office by William How- - ' ard Taft, the man who received the smallest number of votes ever j cast for a president. . 4 Before a crowd estimated at 350,000 people who braved the rain to hear him, and speaking literally to millions all over the face of the globe through the newspapers of the air, the radio, Herbert ?

"We are steadily building a new race a new civilization, ?ea: in its own attainments. "Riyid and expedit'ous justice is the first safeguard of free-dom, the basis of all ordered liberty, the vital force of progress. "There would be little traffic in illegal liquor if only crimin-f.l- s ' patronized it. " "The duty of citizens to support the laws is al with the duty of their government to enforce the laws which exist. "The animosities of elections should have no pace in our government, for government must concern itself alone with the common weal. "Ill - considered remedies for our faults bring onlv penalties after them. " ."Ours is a land rich in resources; stimulating in its glorious Leauty; filled with millions of happy homes ; blessed with comfort and opportunity." "No country is more loved by its people. I have an abiding faith in their capacity, integrity and high purpose." 'MINING MAKING GREAT E PROGRESS : "This country' has probably made more progress in mining achievement in the last four . years than in any similar period in our history," says the Denver . Mining Record. "The mining of gold, silver, copper, and other metals is booming." "This boom has resulted in . greatly reduced costs in mining and milling --' in the introduc. tion of labor - saving devices in increased economies and in introducing a degree of efficien-cy in our industrial, commercial and , transportation machines aeer before existing. "That is why there will be more opportunities to participate in the creation of new wealth vhrough mining development. FORENSIC ACTIVITIES TO FOLLOW ATHLETICS IN SCHOOL PROGRAM. Debating is now coming into oronnnence at the Bingham High School.

From these the following were chosen to comprise the squad : Florence Giles, Ethel Watkins, Mitchell Melich, Le Well Timothy, Har- - Md Chesler and Boyd Iverson. ' The question for debate this year is one of universal interest.

The team will hold several ' practice debates and then follow a schedule of contests which will include debates with Jordan, ' Tooele, Grantsville, Cyprus and Murray. The winner will go to the state contest. . Announcement will be made in the papers regarding dates of the home' debates.

Business men and others are to be congratulated for taking the active 'nterest in pnd putting the mannual abor to the task. It has been sug-gested that no one has seen the pavement as the snow came be. fore it was completed and un-covered, and that is the reason v.hy they are so anxious to see the snow and ice removed.

KNIGHTS AND LADIES TO PROMENADE. Visors up, and lances lowered ! To horse! Squires prepare ye! Knights, ready for the passage of arms! Find your lady, and seek her favor as you color for the big tournament! No, no, that is'nt a mad-man's soliloquy. ' Merely meant to let you know that the Junior Promenade is but two week3 away,, and that it is time to think of it seriously. Work has started. The decora-tions are to be made to follow the theme of a tournament not a basketball tournament but a tournament in the days of bold Robin Hood, Ivanhoe, and King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Tabje. A good imi.j tation of an arena, decorated for any number of jousts will be re- - presented. Towers, banners, j spears, coat of arms, archers, stone doors, a galady of beaut i- -j ful ladies and courageous knights with their pages in at--! tendance all will be present.! Most of our present day lords ( and ladies have never had the privilege of attending one of. these tournaments, hence, this j is a valuable opportunity to see just what difficulties and ad-vantages the flappers and the sheiks of the 13th, 14th and . 15th centuries had. If this doesn't appeal to you particular. ly what better and bigger way could one have of celebrating Bingham's victory at the pres-ent day basketball tournament? NEWS ITEMS FROM HIGHLAND BOY. Principal David C. Watkins of the Highland "Boy school left yesterday for Chico, California, where he takes a position as an executive of the Boy Scout or- - . anization. It was with many regrets the people of Highland Boy said goodbye to Mr. Watkins, ... who has been with them as principal of their school for the past five years. Mr. Watkins had the ability to and took the communi-ty as it was. To go into a vil-lage where some 14 different languages are spoken and guide its educationa Institution sue. cessfully and to the entire satis-faction of, not only the parents, but also the students, is a real man's job. We feel justified in ' saying Principal Watkins did this and more, for the, institu-tion at Highland Boy. Reflecting the confidence of those children will ever be a pleasant memory to Mr. Watkins, eqaulled on!y by the loyalty of the thousand or more pupils who have been eagre to have his instructions and re-main in his confidence. Mrs. Watkins, we understand, will assume the duties of the po. sition made vacant by Mr. Wat-kins, for the remainder of the school year. Our best wishes go with you 'Dave' in your, new field of labor. '' 'fcfct A farewell program was given by the Junior class pupils, to Principal Watkins, at the school auditorium last Friday.
