THOUSANDS AT
BAILEY RITES
Texas Foremost Political
Figure Laid to Rest In
Old Home Town

GAINESVILLE, April Isl {
Bailey sleeps today on a little knoll
overlooking the Texas city he chose
as his home when he went west
from his native state of Mississippi
years ago.
Amid a tremendous outpouring OF
old friends, Joseph Weiion Bailey.
former United States senator from
Texas and one Of the most interest
ing personalities ever to appear on
the stage of Texas politics, was laid
to rest yesterday nea the scenes
OF his first political triumphs.
The statesman was inferred beside
the body Of his first wife, on a lot
he had owned for many years. AS
the funeral cortege left the railroad
station. floral tokens were dropped
from an airplane overhead, a last
mark Of respect from those in the
senator's old home town.
The funeral procession was one
Of the longest, If not the longest,
ever here. A special train brought
the several hundred friends from
Dallas, where funeral services had
been held earlier in the day. III
addition, there were thousands from
Gainesville and other north and east
Texas cities who came to pay their
respects to the fallen leader.
Industry was stilled, banks and
shops and courts were closed, that
all might march out to the little
FairvieW cemetery and take a last
look at friend and neighDor. The
bronze casket was opened and the
tear-dimmed multitude filed past
while the gathering sang there's
a land that is fairer than day."
The Rev. James GoDer Of Green
vile, lifelong friend Of Bailey, after
a brief prayer, introduced Judge
Nelson Phillips, who delivered the
principal eulogy on the life of his
departed comrade.

Editor Tribune:

When residents Of Bismarck 20 to
the polls May 81 to vote on the Me-
mortal Community Building bond
issue they will have an opportunity to
do something for the community
which should benefit every property
owner.
AS the owner Of a small business I
am interested in the progress of the
community. I am a small business
man. not a man who sits at a desk
and directs some big corporation but
a maj who has to work for a living.
and counts his pennies carefully.
After weighing all the circum-
stances I have come to the conclusion
that the Memorial Community build
ing proposed by the American Legion
will be a real benefit to the commune
ity. I am willing to pay my share of
the taxes to see Bismarck 20 forward.
It means more business for everyone,
more jobs and better wages for people
who work for q living.
With all the big magazines carry
ing untold pages Of advertising, It
stands we Bismarck folks in hand to
do what we can to advertise our town.
II we can do 1t and at the same time
get more than our moneys worth in
additional benefits we shouldn't miss
the opportunity. My idea is that the
Memorial Community building will
enable us to do this.
This building can establish q rep
utation for u city. II people
throughout the Northwest have a
good impression of Bismarck they are
not going to overlook us when they
want to establish branches of their
business in Western North Dakota.
Every time a new business locates
here it means employment for one or
more people. additional employment

means a better and a growing town
and that benefits everyone who lives
here.
Like any other father, I am inter-
ested in my children and In the city
In which I expect to raise them. The
better facilities they have to enjoy
the finer things Of life the better I
will be satisfied. BY providing q
place where my children IAN swim
and play under competent supervision
I have a better chance Of making
good as a father. That means more
to me than any financial consider,
atoms, great as they arc.
Taxes r something in the nature
Of a DOGGY man to most Of US and
none of US like to pay more than We
have. to. But when we get a return
for u money such as this Memorial
Community building promises. the
small additional tax becomes nothing
at all.
A lot of people are. as a matter Of
habit, opposed to everything. Some
folks are just naturally afraid Of
progress, but Bismarck car not afford
too much Of that sort Of thing. II
w don't take advantage Of our OPP
portunities we brand ourselves as be-
longing to that class Of people who
prefer the kerosene lamp to the elec-
trio lights. I haven't looked up the
price Of kerosene recently. but I sup
pose that kerosene still is cheaper
than electricity.
I might make a comparison between
the horse and buggy era and the
automobile but. since I am In the
automobile spring business, I don't
want to lay myself open to the
charge of attempting to get free adj
vertising.
Something for the people to re-
member is that Burleigh county will
pay $84, 900 of the $209, 900 which the
Memorial Community building will
cost. From Bismarck's standpoint 1t
Is almost like q gift. How anyone
who investigates the proposition care.
fully and without prejudice ran turn
1t down Is more than I can see.
The people Of Bismarck have
proved that they r as smart as the
average. They are not going to lose
their reputation for intelligence when
the votes r counted at this election.
Just by talking with my friends I
have come to the conclusion that this
thing is going across big.
Yours for q bigger and better Bis.

been as spectacular (and probably as

green its memory long after 1t had

desolate places of the West.
Peterson, It seems, was an inveter-

on anything and he would back his

is a story to the effect that once he
played poker for a human life. He
came to Torridity with nothing but

blandly.
I wasn't going to be caught too

in it I shall want that, too"

$500, and tossed it over. There isn't
