The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1896-03-12

Last Thursday morning at Cho-
teau Commissioners Jones and
Miller vented their spite against
the Dupuyer Acantha and now
boast that they have been reveng-
ed sufficient to last them year.
With malice aforethought the
chairman of that body, some two
months ago, came to the publisher
of the Acan;ha and asked him to
make a bid for the county printing
aud assured HIM that the lowest
bidder would get the contract, re-
gardless of any other consideration.
Not wishing to give him chance
to square himself by coming
around later and saying that if we
had had our bid in we would have
received the contract, bid was
submitted and it was found to be
fully thirty five per cent lower
than the Montanlan Right here
was where Jones and Miller got in
their work. With diabolical glee
they informed the Acantha that at
no stage in the game did they in
tend doing what they had agreed
to. The Montanian could have the
printing at any figure it was will
ing to make and the Acantha a
could not have anything so long as
they we're commissioners of Teton
county. Having received exactly
the treatment we expected, we
make no personal kick, but the
tax payers of Teton county GER
tainly have large sized one com
ing. In order to vent their spite
on the Acantha these two mer
have given away thirty five pei
cent of whatever the prin Ing
amounts to for the next year
Last year about $4,000 was ex
pended 1t is safe to presume tina
it will amount to more this year
1t has, therefore, cost Ietor
county over one thousand dollars
for spite work. Taxpayers, ism
that pretty expensive? Will yo'
submit to it or will you at the mex
election say to these men: "Yo1
have been tried and found wanting
We want no more of you. G.
to your homes and learn, if poss
ible, to be honest, You are rov
too dishonest to be officials of an,
county in Montana.

Hon A. G. Botkin, who is can
didate for the republican nomina>
tion for governor of Montana, has
a large number of friends in Teton
county who will do all in their
power to send delegation from
this county to the state convention
favorable to him. The state pa
pers, in speaking of his candidacy,
admit that he is cable, earnest
and isn't in the ring" and Tetol
county proposes to assist in push
ing him to the front.

The election of school trustee
takes place on the first Saturday in
April. James IIeighton's.term cx~
pires at that time. AS yet we
have heard of no prospective can
didates for the Office putting them
selves forward. The Office, al
though not remunerative, is an i'm
portant one and the people should
be careful to elect competent and
trustworthy man. The trustees OF
a school have, to q great extent,
the education of the children in
their charge and hence great re-
sponsibllity devolves upon them.
What is required for the Office is a
man of surprising common sense,
who will deem it privilege as well
as a duty to do his utmost to fur
ther the interests of the school
along the most neutrality-suspicious.
Political party prejudice should
not enter into the consideration o.
this matter in the minds of the
people, for politics has nothing tt
do with the education of children.
If good man offers himself as a
candidate, elect him irrespective
of his political inclihations.

The Acantha's Tramp.

While the tramp was scratching
his back against the hitching post
in front of Carl Harris store a
sheepherder approached and whis-
pered in his nigh ear the question
"why has Dppuyer got no church?"
The pungent odor of McBryer's
liquid quickcned his senses and he
made answer: Dupuyer has no
preachers but those who can spread
their gospel any where. Because
the trustees will let any sky pilot
use the school house who wants to.
Because Chotcau has one and
makes poor use of it Because
every second nan would want a
church of different denomination.
Because sheepherders have not
time to attend church. when they
come to town. And the tramp
nodded emphaticaly toward the
gin mill aud the hcrder took the
hint.
If things do not change pretty
soon the tramp will have to quit
roaming in the north end of the
county. This thing of wading
through streams to get across
gives him the rheumatics and
sleeping on the cold ground with
wet feet is not productive of long
evity In the south end of the
county the streams are all crossed
with bridges and he can stand
thereon and contemplate his hairy
visage in the placid waters be-
meath and bless the CONN issioners
who so kindly erected these con
venient slrpctures for his special
benefit. The people in the south
c. d Of the county must be richer
than those of the north end or MOI
aristocratic or--but it makes hin
tired TO think.
1t is hard to be q tramp anG
know it, as the tramp does, but il
is harder (on other people, to be ;
fool ard liar and not know it, a:
the tramp's critic IS. He i;
sincerely sorry for the insigniti
cant puppy whose dense brain can
not appreciate a joke, and whc
must stoop to lies to vindicate al
imaginary insult to his slckening
pomposity. Robare-the tramp
has now good reason to weep cop
lous tears over thy terrible down
fall. Thou place without a name
which once was proud of thy fame
hast fallen so low that with impun
'ity thou mayst be wrongly charg

The Acantha, now. over a year
and half old, has more than paid
expenses and has never been an
object of public charity. The
Montanlan has never paid expen-
ses and has been kept alive by pri-
vate and public ontributions
That's the difference.

The Southern Mercury, state organ OF

Bryan's defeat Here are some excerpts
from its last issue:
Organized labor did nobly. 1t went
to the polls ana voted TO sustain policy
that enslaves labor and suppresses strth-
ers with Fcd.ral soldiers. ana destroys
labor organizations by court injunetions.
People in India work for 50 cents week
and support their families. That is the
condition laboring men voted Ter in this
country on November .. When 1t comes
the lahoring men should take their meti-
cine and look pleasant.
Now let organized labor cease to cry
aloud over their wrongs. Labor has just
lost an opportunity to right these wrongs
and refused TO do Now. let S have lao
more complaining about the injustice labor
is receiving at the hands OF monopoly.
Give us a rest.
There was never any permanent adj
vance in prices Of labor and commodities
under a gold redemption system Of money,
The labaring people must be content VITA
the vases they receive with an occasional
cut. ana producers need not look for
better prices
Organized labor In Chicago appears 10
