Attention is called in another
column to an extract from the minutes
OF the county commissioners regard
ing the painting contract for the court
house couple of years ago, which the
Palladium says was a graft for Frank
Grambs. The three bids were very
close. The bid Of the Bismarck
Decorating Co, was the only one that
included painting the storm doors,
storm windows and screens, and
therefore it was the lowest, and as
such was given that concern. The
commissioners only did what any
business man would do-let the con-
tract for the most work for the least
money. And thus another roorbaek
of the Palladium fades into thin air.

WOULD STARVE POOR
PATTERsoN's PAPER cARlcA.
TUREs A HELPLESS WOMAN Y
d III WHO HASN'T "A BED TO H.. r.
; H. g5& SLEEP IN. .zrs,t.:.

In all the history of vivid iBurleigh
county politics this is the first time
that a candidate for Office has had his
paper caricature the misfortunes of
the poor. In the last Palladium It is
charged that Commissioner Grambs
is paying county money monthly to
woman who has a piano in her house,
the inference being that woman who
can afford a piano does not need coun-
ty assistance. 49,
The facts of the case are that the
poor woman in question has been
partially paralyzed for two years and
is in the direst poverty. It is true
she has a piano, but it is one not
worth drayage charges to take away,
being one of the earliest made and
utterly beyond the power of tuning,
and is almost the only piece of furni-
ture in the house, there not even be-
ing bed for her to sleep on.
u This poor creature is paid, the
magnificent sum of 81 per month for
y nm.
groceries and the county board pays
81 month for her house rent.
Eleven dollars month for human
being to subsist on!
Such extravaganza is monstrous!
The case is pitiable, but still is
made the subject Of wretched car
tOOn in the Palladium.
1t is an outrage on the dependent
poor Of the county and is another
specimen Of the despicable methods of
the Patterson campaign of deceit and
misrepresentation.
The poor who are being helped by
the county should stand solid for the
election of this man Patterson, for
this attack shows plainly the fate in
store for them should he be elected
county commissioner.

DEGRADED THE CITY
PATTERSON As MAYOR MADE
ENDS MEET BY ROUNDING UP
LAW BREAKERS.

The Palladium says Mr.. Patterson
ran the city all right when he was
mayor and made Doth ends meet. He
did this by holding up law breakers
for revenue and while getting money
for the city also held up the same
men for his private benefit in the
sale of beer to them, and then
swindled the brewers out of tie cost
of the beer. This kind of manage
ment brought down upon the c,'..y the
wrath and disgust of the entire state
and made Bismarck a synonymefor all
that was corrupt and degrading.
Are the people anxious to have this
kind of good government" fastened
on the county?

What IT MEANS
NOMINATION OF PATTERSON FOR
COUNTY COMMISSIONER MEANS
ENDORSEMENT OF HIS DE-
BASING METHODS.

If e. G. Patterson is nominated for
county commissioner he will be justi-
fed in saying: "The people all know
me and my methods. I have revelled
in the muck for many years and they
know my style. my nomination
simply means that they like my style
and are satisfied to allow me to go
my gait unmolested and debauch the
city and county with free hand. The
can mean nothing else.
Therefore you hckers will have to
take me and like me. I am it. in this
neck of the woods and what + say
goes; dye see!"

DEBAUCHING mere BOYS
PATTERSON EMPLOYS SONS OF
RESPECTABLE CITIZENS TO
HANDLE BEER WAGONS.

It is certainly beyond belief that it
was upon the invitation of the old
settlers that E. G. Patterson had two
wagonloads of beer conveyed to Brit
tin yesterday. 1t is not within the
bounds of reason to suppose that the
fathers and mothers of the mere boys
who were employed to drive the
teams gave their consent to such en-
ployment. Still the fact remains that
two of the Transfers are not yet Of
age, that the beer reached its destina-
ton and that the boys said they took
it there for E. G. Patterson. Not con-
tent with trying to debauch grown
men whose appetite for liquor over
comes their judgment, mere boys
must be dragged into the Patterson
jaggernaut. Thus is seen another
evidence of the degrading methods of
this man to gain paltry Office.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1906-06-18

For the first time the farmers have
had an opportunity to see Patterson
in his true colors. If all reports are
true the presence of him and his
numerous boosters from the city are
responsible for the disgraceful fights
that occurred around the picnic where
his booze was dispensed Such
scenes were never before witnessed
in the vicinity of an old settlers
picnic, and they would not have oc-
Cured this time had the old settlers
themselves been able to prevent them.
The old settlers association does not
hold these gatherings for the purpose
OF disgraceful debauch such as Pat
terson and his beer singers tried to
to make the one yesterday, and that
the beer deal will prove boomerang
to its perpetrator IS certain.

SURELY UNSAFE
e. G. PATTERSON is THUS CHAR
AcTURlZED BY a COR
RESPONDENT.

Editor Tribune: A man who has
taken for years past an oath of office
to obey and to see that the laws of
the state are obeyed; who has for
years been the local sales representa-
tive of large brewery; who carries
beer at all times in his hotel, and who
hires boys under age to carry, deliver
and take pay for the same in his
hotel; who tells the mayor of the city
to go to -; who countenances two
blind pigs in his own private property,
who has a clerk in his employ who
runs another pig in the city; and a
man who wants all the blind pigs to
buy their beer from him, who pays
unjust bills against the city of Bis
marck as president of the city coun-
Gil, when the mayor is out of the city,
is surely unsafe for conservative citi-
zens and business men to vote into
another office. Ole Olson.

THE RECORDS SHOW IT
OF PALLADIUM TO
DENY THE REDUCTION or THE
COUNTY DEBT FALLS FLAT.

The man who will deliberately lie
about another places his victim at a
disadvantage at once. The statement
in the Palladium that the county debt
has not had a remarkable net reduc-
ton in the past three years is false,
and the writer knew the statement
was false when he wrote it. The
debt has been reduced nearly $4,000
and no one can truthfully gainsay it.
AS member Of the board of commits
sioners Frank Grambs is entitled to
his share OF credit for this result.

The Old Settlers Picnic-There was
great gathering of farmers, their
wives, sons and daughters and en-
p1oyes at Brittin yesterday, fully 300
being in attendance The day was
perfect for such an outing and had it
not been for the importation of beer
by Candidate Patterson everything
would have passed off with the great
est pleasure. Attorney Mockler made
a pleasing, congratulatory speech, Pat
terson told everybody what a good
fellow he was and how he would re-
form all the abuses of the universe
when he became commissioner and
directed the thirsty to the beer car.
There was an interesting horse race,
base bali game, foot races and other
contests which kept the crowd going.
Dancing began on the platform in the
grove early in the afternoon and kept
up until early in the morning The
vast quantity of beer taken to the
SCCuC ny GhC CdAut0dCS LIZ COuuLy
commissioner was the only unpleasant
feature Of the occasion. Enough in
Discreet persons partook Of Mr.. Pat
terson's hospitality to drive many of
the old settlers from the picnic and
as a vote getting proposition Mr.. Pat
terson's beer proved a boomerang, as
1t engendered the fights that took
place and caused the only unpleasant
feature OF the occasion. "A gentleman
who has been attending these old set
tiers gatherings since 1883 said that
this was the first time that he had
seen any drunkenness at them and
that Patterson's little scheme to get
all hands drunk and bring them down
to his grade OF ethics was unfayorably
commented on by q great many PEG
|ple. 1t Is a shame that a gathering of
farmers and their wives should be
turned into d political jamboree by
Patterson and the crowd Of boosters
he took along from this city to back
up his false statements ais to the senti-
ment here for him.

Patterson declares that the country
vote always has to be obtained with
'fbooze and Doodle" anyhow, and that
is the excuse he offers for shipping
down enough ''bug juice" to the old
settlers picnic to drunken regiment.
Patterson has a very low opinion of
the average Burleigh county voter.

A MISTAKEN COMPLIMENT.

The state of Kansas reports that in
So of the los counties of Kansas there
is not a single pauper. Twenty five
counties have no almshouses and 81
have not single criminal case on the
docket. The explanation for this al.
most ideal state of things is to be found
in the fact that Kansas shows itself
1nhospitable to the liquor traffic. Other
states will exhibit as good record
when every county and town abolishes
the saloOn.-Central Presbyterian.
Our esteemed contemporary has been
studying Kansas at a distance and
through the Kansas press. To one
who has lived in Kansas "this almost
ideal state of things" is known to exist
only in the imagination. In all the
large cities of Kansas, although the
constitution and all the laws prohibit
it, liquor is sold as openly as it is in
the city of Richmond, over bars as well
equipped and as gaudily furnished as
in any other part of the world. Mrs.
Carrie Nation smashed the mirrors
and fixtures in five bar rooms ia the
city of Wichita within sight of each
other, and she could have smashed ten
times as many within short walk,
and this condition is known of and
winked at by all the officials who are
sworn ESPECIALLY to enforce the
prohibition laws. Kansas has no poor
houses, they have high sounding names
for their charitable institutions and
thus can publish to the world that
they have no paupers. But at the same
time they are there, being supported
at public expense, lust as we do. There
are some of the counties in Kansas SO
thinlY settled that court houses and
jails are of little use. But Virginia to-
day with all of her faults has moro
empty jails than Kansas ever could
boast, and whiskey is not as generally
sold here as there.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

Mr.. VIM. r. Hearst is out in state
ment declaring positively that he is
not and will not be a candidate for the
presidency in 1905 This will set at
rest many of those reports which have
been in circulation relative to him,
which always placed him in an unen-
viable attitude toward that position
and toward the Democratic party in
SO far as his critics could do so. Mr..
Hearst had declined to be ON the COM
mittee to welcome Mr.. Bryan. This
was construed into jealousy. Mr..
Hearst g paper in New York had print
ed long article telling of Thomas
Taggart's gambling. AS Taggart had
as National Chairman favored Bryan,
this was thought to be the reason for
the Hearst newspaper throwing the
hooks into him as it had just done.
Numerous editorials in papers such as
the Washington Post favoring Mr..
Hearst were also treated as sure indi-
cations of his candidacy. Now he says
positively 81 am not candidate

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an intiamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous lining Of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It's entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and un.
less the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal con-
ditiOn, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in.
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by ca
tarrh) that cannot be cured by HalI's

MR.. BUTTON TO TEST HIS RIGHTS.

The Corporation Commission has
refused to allow Col. Joseph Button
to qualify as Commissioner of lnsur-
ance, the ground for so doing being
that they, the Commission, and not
the General Assembly, have control
over the corporations under the con-
stitution, and that such an office is
unconstitutional.
The action of the Commission will
be tested before the courts as Col.
Button, we hear, will not otherwise
surrender 80 important position. No
one can blame Mr.. Button. 1t is well
known that the SPECTATOR was bit
terly opposed to the creation of such an
office. 1t has felt all along that it was
a gift of those in power to a faithful
party worker. 1t has felt that the
creating of the Office was indefensible
from any and every standpoint, and
that if the people of Virginia were full
Iy awakened to the enormity of the
offense they would repeal the law the
very first time opportunity presented
itself, as we'll as administer sound
drubbing to those who were RESPONSE
BILE for the iniquity. The creation of
an office carrying a So, 500 salary with
a clerk at 81 800, was such a raid on the
treasury and the pockets Of the tax
payers we firmly believe, as will ulti-
mately bring into disgrace those who
engineered the job, and especially was
this SO at this time when every charl-
table institution in the State was
suffering for the actual necessaries of
existence, and the State overwhelmingly
in debt. But the Office was created.
Senator Thomas 8. Marion was several
times in Richmond whilst the outrage
was being incubated, actuated, and
perpetrated. 1t was current rumor
then that his heart was beating audlbly
at times lest this his, said to be, pet
scheme failed. Mr.. Button won, the
Governor appointed him to the posi-
ton, and we have no word to say now
against his making thorough test of
his rights. We would believe him to
be a gutter unless he did. He has
begun legal proceedings.

THE CHARGE OF THE BUTTON

Oh wild was the shout of the Button
Brigade.
When it charged on the crib with the corn,
But the crib it was locked when the on
slaught was made.
And the man with the key, he was gone
~
Then the Button Brigade held a counsel
of war,
With all of its captains and clans.
1t cussed and it fused, great oath 1t did
At those who had shattered its plans.

They are fighters, those me of the But
ton Brigade,
When victors they dizzy the spOils.
If there's plumber in sight they are ready
to raid,
No quarter is shown in their tolls.

But the last raid they made-this Button
Brigade
Went after the pie" with whoop.
They we're literally fayed. in bad am
buscade,
Now the Rutton Brigade's in the soup.

Let the Button Brigade that adage recall
OF the cup-and the lip-and the slip;
Or Simon, the pieman. who never at all
Sold pies that were not in his grip

Yes, sad are the hearts and fearful the
eyes
Of the Button Brigade on today.
They moaned and they grOaned, when

Took wings and floated away.

In a lonely grave yard by a chinquepin
bush
Around it are faces we've seen "in the
push"
The corpse, was "the head" of the Button
Brigade.
Now wild is the wall of the Button
Brigade,
Oh, wierd is the song that they sing,
OF hopes that are fled, of a leader that's
dead,
While notes of prayer. for some daily
bread
Come floating along like perfumes in spring,
And melt US to tears by the sadness they
bring.
What heart could be callous, at the heavy
hand laid
On this hapless, and helpless, Bread and
