Our neighbor city of Junction has
grown more in the past few years,
possibly, than any other city in this
section, and that growth can be largely
placed to the activity and advertising
oyer the county of its excellent loca-
tion a summer resort, and the
Chamber of Commerce there has been
on the job all the time, looking to the
better interests of Junction, with the
result that today the crowds that flock
to that city during the summer season
cannot hardly be taken care of. Junc-
tion’s streets are being paved, modern
buildings are being constructed, and
a water system second to none has
been installed, with the result that
Junction is advertised all over the na-
tion, and is destined to become one

HOOVER TAKES OATH OF
OFFICE
(Continued from first page)
I hope to discharge its ever increas-
ing demands.
Through liberalization from wide-
spread poverty we have reached a
higher degree of individual freedom
than ever before. The devotfbn to
and concern for oCr institutions are
deep and sincere. We are steadily
building a nqw race—a new civili-
zation great in its own attainments.
The most malign of all dangers
today is the disregard and disobedien-
ce of law. Crime is increasing. It is
only in part due to the additional bur-
dens imposed upon our judicial sys-
tem by the 18th Amendment. The
cities in the state and a few years ago ^"“than that
Junction was in the mud. The Cham-
her of Commerce, backed by the mer- j RiSid and exP,:dil'ous ius,'ce is' ,he
chants of that city have lifted the veil |first of freedom, the bas.s
and placed Junction on the map, with J
excellent highways and a desire to.
promote for that town just what it
deserves.
Now we look at Sonora. Only a
few years ago, Sonora was followng
along the don’t care lines that have
made many a town lie down in peace-
fill slumber. But onlji a short while
ago Sonora became awake to its pos-
sibilities, went forward and organized
a progressive Lion’s Club, and the
merchants there got squarely behind
them, with the result that Sonora is
patting over things in a way that is
causing other towns to set up and
take notice, and this is being accomp-
lished through the efforts of the Lion’s
Club there, backed by the business
aifd ranching industries of that sec-
tion. .
These arc merely a few example
of what can be done if we only have
rare . th‘c desire to DO. Join your Chamber

But a large responsibility rests dir-
ectly upon our citizens. There would
be little traffic in illegal liquor if only
criminals patronized it. We must a-
wake to the fact that this patronage
from large numbers of law-abiding
citizens is supplying the rewards and
stimulating crime.
To those of criminal mind there
can be no appeal but vigorous en-
forcement of the law. Fortunately
they arc but a small percentage of our
people. Their activities must be stop-
ped.
I propose to appoint a National
commission for a searching investiga-
tion of the whole structure of our
Federal system of jurisprudence, to
include the method of enforcement of
the 18th Ammendment and thee ause
of ^bnse under it. y ,%
The election has again confirmed
the determination of the American
people that regulation of private en-
terprise and not government owner-
ship or operation is the course right-
ly to be pursued in our relation to
business.
Self-government- can only succeed
through an instructed electorate. Our
objective is not simply to overcome
illiteracy. The Nation has marched* far
beyond that.
Public health service should be as
fully organized and as universally in-
corporated into our government sys-
tem as in public education.
We not only desire peace with the
world, but to see peace maintained
B. idemo-^ throughout the war** We wish to

Six of the new cabinet were sworn
into office following the Senate’s con-
firmation of their nominations, taking
their oaths at the various departments
which they head. They were: Sec-
retary Adams of the Navy, the first
to be sworn in; Secretary Lamont of
the Commerce Department; Attorney
General Mitchell; Secretary of War
Good; Secretary Wilbur of the Inter-
for Postmaster General Brown; Secre-
tary of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde.
Henry L. Stenson, the new Secretary
of State, is on his way from Manila
and will not be in Washington untij
the latter part of the month. In the
interim the Coolidgc administration
State Department head, Secretary
Kellogg, will continue in his post.
Secretary Mellon of the Treasury
and Secretary Davis of the Labor De-
partment, holding over from the Cool-
idge cabinet into the Hoover admin-
istration, who took the oath of office
when they entered upon their pre-
sent duties, did not take a new oath
today.
