Hoover Takes Oath of Office!
Inaugural Address Sounds Note of Conservatism and Urges
Respect for Law—Peace With World
At noon Monday Herbert Hoover standing on the east
steps of the capitol building at Washington took the oath of
office and became the thirty-first president of the United
States
In the short address that followed the new President
pledged his administration to the enforcement of law and the
promotion of peace at home and throughout the world De-
claring that the most malign of all dangers from which self
government must be safe guarded today is the disregard for
and disobedience of law and "to consider these evils to find
their remedy is the most sore necessity of our times'
"Rigid and expeditious justice() —

"We wish only for the mainten-

further agricultural relief and

defense counsel has rewakened in-
terest in the impeachment trial be-
fore the senate court of impeach-
ment in session since February 11
says Paul Robarts in the Tulsa
World
There is much speculation re-
garding the extent of the gover-
nor's time on the stand but attor-
neys interested in the case believe
he will require all of Thursday and
probably most of Friday to tell the
story of his two years as governor
and to explain the motives and the
influences that caused him to take
the course of action which finally
resulted in his investigation and
impeachment
Mrs O O Hammonds his for-
mer confidential secretary prob-
ably will not have a chance to tell

GROTTO CIRCUS PLEASES
-
Large audiences are enjoying the
indoor Grotto circus at the Col-
vention hall which opened Monday
night and continues through the
week The circus has practically
all the features of the large three-
ring affairs that show under the
big top The acts are equal to
those seen in the big shows the
music is excellent and a keen in-
terest is maintained throughout
There are elephants and tigers
clowns wire-walkers dancers and
acrobats and all the rest of it that
constitutes a first class circus
