There seems to be a doubt held by
one Of our local papers as to where
some of the candidates for the city
commission stand. It is only just
to the Palladium to make this state
ment as to where I stand and what
stand for, that they may be able to
cast their ballots intelligently.
First and always, l stand for the
upbuilding and advancement Of the
city Of Bismarck. Further, do not
believe in making laws for their
moral effect and then ignoring them
for what some people call good bust
ness. stand for every public i'm
provement that tends to make a
greater Bismarck.
II elected to the city commission I
shall use my best efforts to have our
taxes equalized in a just manner and
to enforce our laws.
. / will not give special favors to
any person or organization, but will
give every citizen or property owner
a square deal to the best Of my
and ability.
Respectfully,

WHERE EVERYBODY GOES.
The new bill that opened at the pop
ular Main street play house last even
ing brought out another full house and
everyone was well pleased with the
performance. Burnison and Taylor
made big hit in the protean comedy
playlet entitled: "Graham's Valet"
the work of Miss Taylor is with out a
doubt the best that has ever been seen
in Bismarck for the part she takes.
Mr.. Burnison carries his two parts
very we'll. The Photo-Plays are up
to the high standard held by the Or
pheum and it is needless to state the
subjects for everyone knows the kind
that are shown. Ethel Bauer rendered
her song in a most pleasing manner
that was we'll received. In addition
to this splendid bill the orchestra had
all new music. and the effects for the
pictures by the drummer Geo. Wealth
erhead were very good. Remember
the Orpheum has an entire change of
Vaudeville, Pictures and Songs tomor-
row night.

Grafton Record: A letter from F..
o. Hellstrom under date of the 18th
states that that gentleman does not
consider the provisions of the new
board of control law in any way debar
him from becoming a candidate for
the position of governor. He argues
that our state institutions should be
kept out of politics and wants to
agree to become governor and keep
them out of the mire Of partisanship.
Mr.. Hellstrom is a lawyer and prob
abl yplaces his own construction of
the law. but other lawyers read it dif-
ferently and argue that heads of state
institutions can not mix in politics.
We incline to this construction and
think Hellstrom is violating not only
the spirit but the letter of. the law.
Just how Mr.. Hellstrom or any other
man can be-, a candidate for public Of
fee as a partisan while acting as the
head Of a state institution and not
drag the institution and its officers
and employees into the political game,
is more than We can understand. We
still believe that Hellstrom should re-
sign as warden nf the penitentiary or
W 'thdraw from the race for governor.

and actual delivery Of the Blue Book
commenced on the day previous to
the appearance of his interview.
The Tribune has been kind, indeed
to this man Norton, by the mere fact
that we have ignored the fellow and
have not taken cogniZance of his
many shortcomings as public off,
cial. Had there been any desire on
our part to play politics with Mr.. Nor
ton, there has been plenty of oppor-
tunity without restoring to his under
hand method suggested in the Courier.
News communication. Mr.. Norton
knows full-well that delivery of the
Blue Book "early last fall" was
physical impossibility. as he did not
turn the copy over until "late last
falp'. the exact date being recorded

lance of the Blue Book was over
looked by the deputies in charge or
the Secretary of States office, and
as Mr.. Norton had personally paid
very little attention to the work OF
the office, up to the time the copy was
delivered. it is but fair to charge that
simple neglect of duty on the part OF
Mr.. Norton, and his failure to ap'
preciate the importance of the book
is the true cause of delay in publish
ing the 1911 Blue Book.
There has been absolutely no un-
necessary delay in the work of print
ing and binding this Blue Book; on
the contrary the Tribune made every
effort to execute the work promptly
and the time consumed in so doing
is not reasonable, Mr.. Norton to the
contrary Notwithstanding.

GUARD WELL EQUIPPED.

Some Of the best posted military
men OF the state say that the ma
tional guard of the state was never
better equipped than at present.
Since the guard has been subject to
the Dick bill. the federal government
has been almost as liberal in supply
ing the militia as it has been in
furnishing the regular army. For
field service the guard is practically
fully as well equipped and with reg
ular army men detailed in the state
for instruction purposes, the guard
is also posted to a high point Of ef-
ficiency.

BISMARCK THEATER.

Our prediction that the house would
be filled was demonstrated last might
when three capacity houses enjoyed
the splendid program shown. Not
only were all seats filled, but all
available standing room was taken
and much praise for the show. and the
unusually attractive, comfortable
tbeater as now arranged, was contin-
ually expressed. It was a delightful
audience and a splendid show.
Miss King completely catpivated
the people last evening by her sweet
singing, and was called and recalled
again and again for repet numbers.
To one number she was forced to re-
spond four consecutive times. To-
night she will sing 1.-THE Violin Rag"
and "Any Girl Looks Good in Sum-
mer." Musical critics say Miss King
possesses a remarkable voice and the
theater management feel very fortu-
nate in having secured her. For the
photo. plays tonight "The Best Man
WINS" a story of the city chap in
competition with a farm hand for the
girl; very fast and full Of action-a
drama worth seeing. 1.-THE Anonymous
Letter" portrays strong traits Of hu'
man character; while "Parson Sue"
the big hit of last night. will be shown
again today. The plot deals with a
bunch Of cowpunchers who wanted
rarson. and when the parson came It
was found to be a woman. Many
laughable situations occur making
big scream from start to finish. The
show opens at 7:15 with three per-
formances nightly, admission being
only 10 and 15c, feature many peo'

prevail here and popular shows, too.

BIDS FOR BALLOTS.

Tomorrow at the secretary of
states office the printing commission
will open bids for the printing of
ballots for the primary election of
March 10Th. and several representa-
tives of the larger printing concerns
of the state are here to meet WITH
the board. The state furnishes the
ballots for every voting precinct in
the state and it will be a task for
the printers to handle this big take"
Estimates as to the number Of bal.
lots have been received by the secre.
tary of state and it will require 49,.
767 republican ballots. and 64,4I1
democratic besides nearly $4,000
sample ballots. These ballots will
contain the names Of the presiden.
tial candidates vice president, dele

members of the electoral college and
the national committeeman. After.
these ballots are printed, the print
ers are required to tie them in pack
ages and deliver them to the differ
ent county auditors. For the time
limit set it will be one of the big
gest requirements exacted from
state printers.

MOUNT VERNON.

A bill has been introduced in the
house of representatives., says the
Washington Star, providing for an in
curry into the conduct of Mount Yer
non, with especial refernce to the
proposition to transfer he title to
and custody of the home of the first
president of the United States gov.
eminent. This is not an entirely
new suggestion. 1t has been made on
several other occasions. and each
time that it has been seriously ad'
vanced those who favor the present
system of maintaining the mansion
and grounds have made such repre-
sensations as to preclude an investiga-
ton. Just now an effort is being
made through the legislature of Vir-
ginia to terminate the holding of the
Mount Vernon association, and an or
ganization opposed to the charging OF
fees for admission to the grounds has
been formed. Perhaps the best way
to reach a satisfactory conclusion In
the matter will be to pass the pending
bill and thus permit thorough in
curry into the past transactions and
the feasibility and advisability OF
national assumption of this RESPONSE
bility.
Great credit is due to the women
who have maintained the home OF the
first president through the Mount
Vernon association. Had it not been
for them this shrine would perhaps
have fallen into the hands of profit
seeking showme1, to the eternal scan
dial and disgrace of the American peo'
pie. The association has conducted
the mansion and grounds in a spirit
of reverence. and so far as is known
has simply made it a self.sustain1ng
institution, using the funds wiselp to
preserve the original atmosphere and
to retain relics for perpetual exhibit
ton. Those who attend this place
are assured of its genuineness as
they could not be it it were run as
profit.making resort or amusement'
At the same time it may be questioned
if the gates were thrown
open to all corners under national su'
pervision this same atmosphere could
be maintained. It is, Of course, desir.
able that the home Of the first presi-
dent should be accessible to all
Americans, as freely as possible, and
the issue which the congressional
committee, If appointed, would have
to meet would be whether the remis-
sion of the small fe. now charged for
purposes Of maintenance would, un'

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1912.
THE 1911 BLUE BOOK

p. u. NOrtOl, tle man who draws a
salary as Secretary OF State. had him
self interviewed yesterday by the
Fargo Courier-News on the subject OF
the 1911 Blue Book. Whether Mr..
Norton was misQuoted or whether he
wilfully misstated the facts, We lave
no way of knowing, but to all appear
ances the latter is the case.
Mr.. Norton attempts in this inter-
view to lay the blame entirely on the
Tribune for the delay in issuing the
Blue. Book, and insinuates that the
delay was not only Intentional on our
part but done with malice afore-
thought for political purposes.
In this; interview Mr. Norton is
quoted as saying "The copy for the
Blue Book was delivered by the Sec
rotary Of state to the Bismarck Trib'
une several months ago, and the
management of the Tribune company
promised the secretary of state that
the book would be delivered to the
printing commission for distribution
early in last fall so that copies could
be sent to the schools Of the state as
provided by law.
The truth of the matter is the CON-
piete copy of the Blue Book was not

lutely no delay so far as the Tribune
is concerned. On the contrary, the
work has been rushed; two shifts
were used On the linotypes and
presses were worked overtime to
speed the delivery of this job. We
call attention to the fact that the
book is much larger than usual and
that instead of four to five thousand
copies published in previous years,
the issue this year is twelve thousand
copies. Mr. Norton says that extra
machinery was necessary to complete
the work. owing to the ineff1ciency
of the Tribune plant. Again Mr.. Nor
ton is wrong. The Tribune plant is
as complete as any printing esta blish-
ment in the state and this extra ma
chinery which he refers to was found
necessary by reason of his extrava-
CANT ideas, he demanding an extra
amount of gold-leaf lettering on the
cover of the book. The fact that the
Tribune has thousands of dollars tied
up in this job should be sufficient
evidence to controvert the charge of
Mr.. Norton that there has been any
wilful delay on our part, and the fact
that Mr.. Norton withheld his inter
view until what he supposed was the
very last possible minute is further
evidence that he was simply looking
for an opportunity to hand some.

again he slipped. for the interview
