The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-04-25

preposterous to think that people out
here 10 Idaho will go fully hundred
and fifty miles just to see this per.
Torrance. Especially Is this true
when 1t will take week to go and
come. Undoubtedly good many
people will go from this section OF
the county to see this performance
and consider that they were well re-
paid for their effort. Ringing Bros.
circus and menagerie Is now colsid-
cred the best In the United States,
with Barnum & Bailey close Sec
old. These boys have history in
the show business more remarkable
than That o. Ba.Dum. The great
Barnum considered that it was Dece5.
sary to habmug the people In oder
to be successful, while the Einyling
Brothers would 40 more think OF do
Ing this THAI an holo able and up
iieho mefcbaDt. T ey not only give
all they advertise, but would 10 more
think or allowing anyone connected
with their show to do their patrons
an injustice than business man
would permit clerk to short change
customer.
When we come to consider that less
than twenty-five years ago Ringing
Brothers were travelling around over
some OF the Eastern states giving
vaudeville performances In school
houses, :nd vacant buildings In the
smaller towns their career Is the
noe remarkable. They now have
tie lar,,est collection of animals and
curiosities known TO the show bust
ness, but theii ohow is so large that
their daily .eoe.l PTS must run into
the thousand 20 nieet their daily ex-
penses. The boys are most approach
able, courteous to those in their en-
ploy, and see that even their most
mental employee has the most kindly
consideration. They not only per-
sonally supervise every department
of their gigantic business but look
liter the sniallej. details. This Is
evidently why 6hey axe. so successful
III their undertakings. Knowing the
boys personally we would not hesi-
tate to transact business with them,
even though LANCE sum OF money
va1 Involved, ald take their word as
soon as any banter or ne chant in
the land. Those who wish to see a
clean STOW, ald have the time to
spare to 90 END cove will see their
moneys worth az Dillon the coming
sum.acr. No .smbl,ng Is permitted
nor rowdyism OF any nature In fact
they keep large corps Of detecti yes
to look after the welfare OF their
patrons.
II there ever was court which
was subservient and under the COM
plete domination Of the corporations
that court was the suite supreme
court of Colo. ado, rs it was consti-
tuted Two years ago. Tue notorious
Judge Gahbeft was the ruling figure
in that coat. In the contest which
came UP in the Colorado legislature
1t could always be decided before
hand what Gabbert's decisions would
be. 1t would depend upon how the
mine owners association wanted the
case decided. Their decisions were
so notoriously upon the side of the
corporations that the papers all over
the state were criticising the court
In the harshest terms. Senator Pat
terson was then and is now editor of
the Denver News. On account of
personal differences Patterson was
tie man whom Gabbeft concluded
was wo,,hy OF his persecution as
well as prosecution. The result was
tnso Patterson was lined 81 200 for
havily the temerity to criticise the
decision In the Governor Adams
Peabody cas-. One OF the supreme
judges gave a Minority decision ex.
honerating Patterson 10. the deserved
roast the court got from his paper.
Senator Patterson carried bis case to
the United States supreme court.
The case was recently decided, sus-
taininy the verdict of the Colorado
supreme court. Tom Patterson has
the r'oley 10 pay his fine; but his
case simply shows that the corpora
lions can do allc anything so long
as they own the cou, Is.

The time was in the past when 1t
was heinous crime to even think
that a court might be venal, much
