Dear Sir: received your stere-
otyped circular signed Executive
Committee" dated June 6, 1906, and
l note it Is full of charges against
one "Mr. Mckenzie" don't know
him. You state that some machine
Is organized to loot and boss the peo-
pie OF North Dakota, and that for
years coterie of three or four men
mad foisted officials on the people and
that the county machine is a part of
the state machine" And again you
say you stand for Honesty VS.. Graft"
How about when you demanded $500
to support the republican ticket four
years ago? How about your State
Leader Spaldtng's vote on the mileage
grab? How about Winship's printing
graft? How about Devine drawing
three salaries from the state while
earning but one? How about Helge-
son? Then how about the Stutsman
county member of the Ben Harrison
delegation In 90 at Minneapolis?
Those mentioned constitute q few of
your leaders. l smile when l think
of you mentioning graft" ,
And yon say you are for:

wasteful and corrupt extravagance.,''

A BITTER LESSON.

Senator Burton is in all probability
the victim of much hackers. So re-
Gently that the time could be counted
better in months than in years, the
senator was selected -as one of his
states representatives in the upper
branch of congress. A bright future
seemed opening before him. A man yet
in the prime of life and of more than
ordinary ability, he should have
written his name high on the scroll
of fame
He was in all probability one of
those who had absorbed the muck
rake doctrine that all men in official
life are corrupt and when a man is
selected for a position of honor and
trust he is merely licensed to ex-
ercise a private loot on the public.
This was certainly the idea which Bur-
ton had, for he had scarcely been
seated until he began to play the game.
He viewed the matter complaisantly
and no doubt believed that the men by
whom he was surrounded were carry
ing on the same sort of a personal
scheme
The awakening came with a ven
gence-just as it always comes to the
man who attempts to use his high
position for personal gains. Before
he could realize what had done it,
Burton was indicted and though he
fought with every means available. he
was adjudged criminal and will serve
his sentence in Jail just the same as
any criminal. He found that the
claims of the muck rakers that public
Office was a mere license to graft
was seriously. untrue. and that the
man who did was certain to be dis
covered.
He has learned bitter lesson but
he deserved 1t. for the man who has
no more moral integrity than to be-
lieve that the whole government is
permeated with graft and that all
men in public life are corrupt and dis
honorable should have an extra pen
atty if it were possible, for his lack
of patriotism.
1t should give notice to the world
also that the people who persistently
repeat such falsehoods have the brand
of Annanias set in their forehead every
time man in Official life attempts to
carry out their infamous teaching.
1t proves too that the foundation
Of justice is just as pure and just as
powerful as it ever was. There have
been in recent years some notable,
examples Of men in high places Of
trust who have attempted to put in
practice the teachings and charges Of
the nations calumniators. and every
ONE of item has nst puaishmsnt, Ger

tain sure and swift. They have learn
ed to their sorrow that no man is with
out the pale of the law no matter how
exalted the position he may occupy.
The public has learned that the man
who attempts to use his public trust
for his own private and selfish ends
is doomed to ignomineous defeat and
disgrace. Those who have so brazenly
taught the doctrine which took Bur-
ton from seat of honor and distinc-
ton to prison cell at one fell stroke
should hide their heads in shame at
the falsity of their own charges against
the purity and integrity of the nation
and the men who direct its destinies.

WHERE DO YOU STAND.

Come, let US reason together"
What have the disruptionists of this
state to offer an intelligent citizenry as
reason for further supporting the
crowd which has led the masses of
their following into a position where
the leaders are calling on the rocks
and mountains to fall on them and
hide them from the face of people?
When the disruption movement was
launched the promises expressed in
inuendo and vile abuse were that
the people who affiliated with these
leaders were to be used to secure for
North Dakota governmental admin
istration pure and virtuous as vestal
virgin. They were led to believe that
the present officials were corrupt, and
that the affairs of state had been ad-
ministered exclusively for the personal
good of the men entrusted with power.
There was yet another consideration.
The leaders of the movement proclaim
ed that they were immaculate in their
personal lives and that no act of theirs
was ever for a moment considered
save in the desire to do the public
good. They asked that to them and
their friends should be entrusted the
power of conducting state and so far
as the state was concerned national
affairs and asked this because they
would be better and purer men than
those whom they sought to depose.
If they could prove this to the salts
faction Of the people whose support
they were seeking, it would be worth
while giving them listening ear. To
make this proof two things were neces-
sar.. One was to show by conclusive
and reasonable evidence that the men
who were already administering the
state affairs were violating the law
as 1t concerned their duties and that
the tax payers and people of the state
were being injured by such acts.
The other was that those who were
seeking to secure the control OF the
state politics and government should
conclusively prove that their conduct
In public life. and where In concerned
the public in private acts. should be
such a. to prove that they were In
deed as worthy Of the public con-
ddence as they should be.
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1906-06-14

As to the first of these propositions
the republican party could offer no
proof in it's behalf for 1t is we'll
recognized principle of evidence that
a negative can not be proven. How
ever, those who for the past two years
had directed the affairs of state asked
and then demanded that the disrup-
tionists leaders prove the insinuations
they have made against them, and
when they failed to do SO, those who
had been by insinuation charged with
the wrong doing, openly branded their
maligners as fasifiers. Does any rea-
sonable man believe that if they had
been able to produce the evidence
which would have shown that the state
officials had been derelict in their
duty, under the constant goading of
the republican press, the disruptionists
would not have offered it? On the con-
trary, so soon as the demand came
for the substantiation of their charges,
the leaders wilted and skunk into hid
ing, from which only snarl of dis
appointment occasionally escaped. Does
any fair mined man who is seeking the
truth want more proof of the falsity
of the insinuated charges of the dis
ruptionists?
Then the republican press began to
show up the character of the men,
so far as it related to matters in which
the public was concerned, who were
seeking to gain control of the state and
to represent the same in the national
legislature. To do this it did not deal
in inuendo, insinuation and personal
abuse. 1t presented facts, which the
parties themselves have not had the
temerity to deny. 1t did not ask the
public to accept the word of one man
or of any set of men. The charges
made were of public record and the
acts were those which had to do with
the pocket books of the people of the
state. 1t is unnecessary to repeat
those charges again, for they are
as familiar to the peaple of this state
as is the alphabet. Those who have
been accused of the acts and their con-
sequences have refused to deny or ex-
plain them. Does any man who is
earnestly seeking the truth want better
evidence than this that the disruption
list leaders are guilty OF everything
charged against them?
Reasoning thus together can there
be any doubt as to where any man who
believes in justice and honesty and
integrity in official conduct will stand
in the fight being made by the re-
publican party to save the state from
the clutches of the crowd who have
proven so unworthy of every con-
fidence in the past There can be but
one stand and that is wholly with the
republican party and the principles
it represents. >,
