HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON .Editor and Publisher Entred as second class matter, August 18, 1916, at the post office at Seattle, Wash., under the Act of March 3rd, 1916. TELEPHONE: BEACON 1910 Office 302 22nd Ave. South EDITORIAL PARAGRAPH In addressing the drafted men and their friends last Saturday Will E. Humphrey recounted the fact that the colored man has always been loyal to the flag of this country and that in every war in which this country has engaged, he has been conspicuous for his bravery. In the present world war he is proving his prowess as of yore and throughout this entire country not one colored slacker is to be found. The colore man defends yon flag without murmer or complaint and the flag that will not protect the men who defend it is nothing short of a dirty rag. May be that statement was said for political purposes, as commented a synic, and for the sake of argument let's grant that Mr. Cynic is correct, yet there are but few white men in this country as prominent as is Mr. Humphrey who has the courage of his convictions to make a similar statement, and whether his motives for saying it were or were not for selfish agrandizements they were like the incident of the bread which was thrown into an open door by bad boys in answer to the prayer of a poor woman to the Lord for food, and to their chagrin, they heard her say, "Thank you Lord, it's good if the devil brought it." But Mr. Humphrey says just what he means and he has always backed up by action what he has said. The colored folk of this country want more men to speak out in public as did Mr. Humphrey last Saturday and if they will, they are satisfied that a better and a brighter day will dawn for them. It looks very much like the tide of war is now turned in favor of the Allies. This is the close of the third week since the advance of the Germans was not only checked but the Germans themselves put on the defensive, yea even on the retreat, and during that time, if only half that has been published of the loss in men and munitions be true, it is appalling. The Germans are still on the retreat and it truly looks as if its the beginning of the end. The Allies hope, at the rate they are now going, to by next spring have the Germans pushed back to the Rhine, which, we hope, would mean that the war will end before the year 1919 closes. Of course, Germany is in a life and death struggle and she will not lay down until there is no longer a hope. Defeat to her means national destruction and a nation like an individual will fight with a desperation when it realizes that no quarters will be shown if its opponents are successful. But Germany has chosen her course and its up to the Allies to act accordingly. In his retreat Bill Kaiser is sacrificing men enough to dispair the hope of hell freezing over. A stalk of corn may never get the earache, but its ear often has a false growth in it, which destroys its usefulness. It is reported that John Failure Miller is in Seattle repairing his political fences—the wicked flee when no one pursueth. If the Germans are not driven to the Rhine until next spring then another two years of the war may be expected. Ain't it hell? Let not the Prussian lower house of representatives lose valuable time in purifying the German language as the Allies have already made ample preparations to do that. Somebody older than Judge Roger S. Greene, an octegenarian, will have to tell from actual experience how old a man has to be when he no longer desires to get married. The peace proposed by Germany is for the Allies to not exactly surrender to Germany, but to withdraw and permit Kaiser Bill to appropriate the major part of Europe. Well, we guess nit. Who does not lay in fuel this summer for next winter will suffer from cold for the neglect, is a government warning and yet it required ten days to get a ton of Hyde or Black Diamond coal. Arkansas Republicans have decided they will not put a ticket in the field this year. Its news to hear that there is such a thing as a Republican in Arkansas. They all migrated after Taft was defeated. The story of an eighteen-year-old girl down in Oregon capturing three escaped convicts from the penitentiary reads like a lie, and in our opinion it is one unless the convicts were in collusion with the girl to get the reward offered for their capture. Josh Wise in the Seattle Star positively states that A. R. Black, colored, is a Seattle attorney. He is a Seattle attorney alright, but is not colored, and if he in any way differs from the other attorneys of the city he was just born that way. Uncle Sam has decided to not take over the apartment houses of Seattle, which means that the "rent hogs" will be permitted to make 4 per cent on the money they have invested in apartment houses unmolested. Thanks for small favors, Uncle. Private Hollingsworth, who refused to drill, drew a fifteen year term in prison, where he will either drill or die. Taxing the rich does not amount to a tinker's damn as the rich just tax the consumers the amount they have been taxed by the government with added profit. In every instance its the consumer that's paying all the "freight" for the war. Its a mistake Phillip Tworoger has not been deported as an undesirable unless he wrote last Wednesday's communication to the Star while enroute to Hades, whither, according to rumors, he had been deported by Gen. Decency. VOL. 3. NO. 9 POLITICAL POT-POURI Representative John Failure Miller has been home for two weeks so a man from Philadelphia told us one day this week. "He is home ahead of time," he continued, "to keep any live wires from filing against him for Congress." Since little else but support the administration policies can be accomplished by a representative in Congress just now no live wires are keen to go when "sissies" can do just as well as men. Two superior court judges are to be elected this year in King County and thus far only Crawford E. White and Everett Ellis have filed in opposition to the two incumbents, Judges Calvin S. Hall and Clay Allen. It seems to be next to impossible to beat a judge on the bench for re-election. Men who could not have been elected dog catchers after having served a part of a term by appointment have then gone before the people and repeatedly been reelected. Had not the late R. B. Albertson been first appointed he never could have been elected on his own initiative and the same is true of J. T. Ronald. In copying the names from the filing record the name of D. C. Brown, candidate for constable for the Seattle district was overlooked. Mr. Brown was one of the first to file and his name should have headed the list. The editor hereof regrets the mistake very much and pens this in correction of the same. If there be one man that we can cheerfully recommend to our readers for their vote at the coming primary election it is that of D. C. Brown and we truly hope he will get the vote of every voter who reads this paper. Col. Hawthorne congratulated Will E. Humphrey on his speech last Saturday, "and I do so notwithstanding the fact that I am a Democrat." Bill Humphrey said nothing in his speech that should not be the religion of a Democrat the same as a Republican, if the Democrat be a loyal, patriotic, liberty-loving citizen, but as a rule they are not and Hawthorne was correct in leaving the impression that the speech must have been exceedingly god if it met the approval of a Democrat. Col. Hawthorne hails from the South where even a Democrat wuld be lynched hed he used language in behalf of the colored folk as did Mr. Humphrey, but maybe the Colonel is getting his eyes open. John Watcher, who lives at 1908 Atlantic Street, has filed for constable on the Republican ticket and has fair prospects of being nominated. He has many warm personal friends throughout the city and it seems to the writer that he ought not to experience any great amount of trouble in getting the nomination. He has lived in the city a great many years and is a substantial taxpayer. Cayton's Weekly is of the opinion that no mistake will be made in voting for him. It is rather remarkable that despite the fact that the national government is under Democratic control, yet no Democrat in King County had the nerve to file for a county office, at least up to the time of going to press, which means that the Democrats realize they haven't a chance in the 9 1. 已知 $a, b, c$ 为实数，且 $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 1$，求 $a + b + c$ 的值。 North and they plan to Hooverize their political powder for the presidential election. Since the days of Buchanan the Democratic party has been a stench and a foul blot upon the pages of the history of this land of the free and it has not been improved by having control of the National government, which it acquired by murder and rapine. The court house ring is as busy as a bird dog in spring time just now endeavoring to perpetuate itself into power. When one runs over the political history of King County "its me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four, no more." Hundreds of persons hold clerkships in the court house who, in all probability, would have to go to the county poor farm if they should happen to lose their parasitic jobs, and they can be seen any time in the day chewing the rag in the halls and lavatories and even in the offices where they are employed, with each other or with friends, but just now talking politics. In business circles one person will do more than three at the court house. All filings for county and state offices will close today at 1 o'clock and a mad rush is expected at the final wind up. The court house ring has been keeping its outside clanquers busy trying to discourage would be candidates from filing, but it is pretty generally believed that there will be much filing done today. Cayton's Weekly has no comment to make at this writing, but it will carefully review the primary situation in its next issue. TOWN TOPICS Mr. and Mrs. Al Duncanson are the proud possessers of a beautiful six room cottage, 619 Thirty-second Avenue, which they recently purchased. They have already moved into the premises and are at home to their friends. Harold Mitchell, who is now employed at the Puget Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton, has purchased a spanking new Studebaker. Mrs. L. A. Graves and her daughter, Mrs. Young, are giving visible evidence of their increased patronage on the part of the public by moving into more commodious quarters and discarding much of their equipment for more up-to-date. A profit-sharing institution is one where all concerned put in either a great or small amount of money, but share in the profits in proportion to the amount each has invested. An institution is not a profit-sharing institution that sets aside one-fourth of its stock to the promoters of the institution and then permits that stock for which not a cent has been paid, to claim profits and dividends the same as that stock for which big iron dollars were laid down. Such has been branded by the government as a form of high financeering and suppressed by the legal department. Thirty-seven drafted men (colored) were banqueted last Saturday at the Y. M. C. A. entertainment hall by a house full and overflowing of friends and well wishers. Caterer Stone had the hall looking the picture of perfection and the brass band (colored) enlivened the occasion with sweet strains of music. Andrew R. Black, the master of ceremonies, looked his best and the drafted men's smiles indicated their complete satisfaction to making the first move for over there. Short speeches were made prior to the speaker of the day, Will E. Humphrey, who made a talk that set that immense audience on fire, figuratively speaking. That was the second banquet the colored citizens of Seattle have given to departing soldiers and each one seems just a little better than the other. The crowned heads of Belgium went to England in an airplane. We suppose an "ace" took the king and queen.—St. Louis Star. ```markdown ``` OLD GLORY OCTOBER'S SAD SATURDAY "You niggers have elected your last official in the State of Mississippi," declared a Democratic stump speaker one hot sultry day in August, A. D. 1875. "I know you do not believe me, which is evident from your derisive snicker, but its he who laughs last who laughs best, and you just watch the white man's smoke." The change of the black man in the South from the slave of yesterday to the master of today was marvelous in the extreme, and while the great bulk of white folks of the South felt grievously humiliated over it, yet a few here and there rather enjoyed the spectacular scene shifting and this was especially true of Miss Lilly Lady, the daughter of an extensive cotton grower and the former owner of an army of slaves in the old Bayou State of which Harrison Emancipator was one. Regardless of the fact that between the white and colored children, who grew to manhood and womanhood on those Southern plantations, there was an impassible social gulf, yet, as children and even youths, they rambled the woods, roamed the fields and swam the creeks together, which was responsible for a bond of friendship being formed between them that was almost as strong as that of blood relationship. Repeatedly highly educted and refined white women have been seen to almost hysterically weep on suddenly meeting some colored man or woman with whom she had romped the hills and hollers in their more youthful days, and such a white woman would almost risk her life to prevent harm coming to such a colored friend. Without having the slightest idea of what was in store for them the new suffragists continued all through the month of August to hold monster political mass meetings, the leading speakers at which were Northern carpet baggers, down there to "git offiis." They would come from a twenty mile radius to participate in a marching parade and to hear "our 'publican men tell it.'" Harrison, a pleasing faced young colored boy, full and overflowing with "mother wit" and as brave a lad as ever lived, was in his late teens at the time of the emancipation and had been a slave boy on Miss Lilly Lady's father's cotton plantation and as a slave had been especially delegated by his master to do Miss Lilly's biddings, and she was very fond of him because he was a noble fellow and because he had saved her from a number of childish accidents and mishaps. But now slavery days are over and the former slaves for the most part are hurriedly packing their personal belongings preparatory to leaving the old plantation for somewhere, just where they had no idea, but "they were on their way." With tears in her eyes Miss Lilly bade Harrison good bye and said: "Our lives lead in different directions; we will meet only incidentally, if at all, but should we never meet again, I will always think of you, almost as a brother. Good bye Harrison, and may you be as good a man as you have been a boy. If you are ever in distress and need a friend try to get word to me." It was a rather pathettie parting but Harrison was too glad to have an opportunity to "go somewhere" to hold Miss Lilly's parting words very long in his mind, and soon he was wandering in the great wide world. Harrison Emancipator was the oldest of ten brothers and six sisters, the father of whom, as has been said of Harrison, was full and overflowing with mother wit. He was eager to see his boys forge to the front in such things as were possible for colored folks, and he leaned heavily on Harrison to help him with the younger ones, and was not disappointed. The father being a blacksmith all of the boys followed in his footsteps and became even better mechanics than the father and had they been surrounded by different environments the Emancipator boys would have been at the head of a great industrial enterprise. But as it was they operated the largest blacksmith shop in that section of the state. Harrison learned to read and write of a Yankee school marm from Wisconsin and was soon one of the foremost colored men of his county. Doctor and Mrs. Bourbon, nee Miss Lilly Lady, stood on the street of the county seat waiting to see the monster "parade" of the campaign, which the Republicans were pulling off that Saturday. At the head of the procession was a brass band that was pouring forth strains of music that were sufficiently soothing to the savage's ear to tempt even a bourbon Democrat to become a black Republican and Miss Lilly was captivated with not only the music, but the military precision of the members of the band. The band is almost to them and the musical number is finished. She eyed the men because they were all black and in brilliant uniform. Suddenly she exclaimed: "Harrison, oh, doctor, it's Harrison." About the same time Harrison recognized her and though leader of the band, he just had to stop and speak. He was told by Miss Lilly that "this is Dr. Bourbon, my husband," and the two men shook hands more warmly than was the custom of white and black men in the South to do. But Harrison Emancipator was all duty and he was soon at his post. Dr. Bourbon watched him until out of sight and then said to his wife: "He appears to be a splendid fellow and is deserving of a better fate than probably awaits him, but if I can ever help him I will gladly do so." Dr. Bourbon and his wife went home and Harrison's name was not mentioned again. The campaign of 1875 throughout the South grew more intense each day from July to November, and during the month of October all the horrors of the French Jacobin days were repeated and "a dead niggah" was far more common than a dead snake. When the election day finally rolled round the colored voters were thoroughly intimidated and though there were ten colored men to one white man in that particular county, yet not a baker's dozen Republican votes were cast in the entire CAYTON'S WEEKLY (Office 303 22nd Ave. South) Regular, Reliable, Republican, Readable Wants 500 New Subscribers This is a Sample of what it sends out Every Week No Friends to Reward or Enemies to Punish A Publication of Ideas Rather Than Personalities Read for Yourself and be Convinced Telephone Beacon 1910 ance i" ’ ee ee eee ee : a: nee POUMMED IES Ppa Ped ee ean Nga pb) yn, ee i ee back over the bloody field of slain colored men and exclaimed, ‘‘it is well,’’ and as John Murder strutted the streets, he was the idol of that -beautiful little county seat. He had but one regret and that was Harrison Emancipator’s kinky scalp did not dangle at his belt, not because Harrison had done any wrong but because he was too damn smart, and he frequently sent him word that ‘‘your time is coming.”’ In every war in this country the colored soldiers became famous for their audacious bravery and it was always their clamor to be given the most diffieult and dangerous undertakings to perform. Just how these people who had been cowed all their lives could develop such dare devil temperments on so short a notice, puzzled the world. Ilarrison, however, had not been in a war but he had been in a number of red hot political campaigns and at no time had he ever shown the white feather. However he was a good loser and from politics he turned to cotton, corn and taters without murmur or complaint. Tis home was two miles out from the city and on their thou- sand acre plantation he, his father, and his nine brothers took refuge and hoped to live in peace, but the hand of fate was against them. It was a sad sunny Saturday in October in 1876 that a white courier rode into the city on a foaming steed and at the top of his voice shouted as he passed along, Har- rison Emancipator has killed John Mur- derer, the Killing Kaptain of the Brandy- wine Buldozers,”’ and the refrain was taken up and soon it was on the tongue of every man, woman and child in Brandywine. Monday morning found one thousand white men armed as if for war and began their march to the Emancipator platantion and by noon that day seventeen farm houses had been burned and old man Emancipator and the fourteen-year-old son of Harrison killed and their bodies cremated but Har- rison, his nine brothers and brother-in-law had taken flight. During the entire week the howling mob applied the torch to every- thing combustible on that magnificent plan- tation. Dr. Bourbon, Miss Lilly Lady’s husband, was there and saw it done and seemed in perfect sympathy with it all. “Unless we help Harrison he and all of his brothers will be murdered as soon as the mob assembles Monday,’’ said Dr. Bourbon to his wife, Saturday afternoon. You must see Harrison before night fall and bade him bring all of the boys here and take refuge in our attic until they can be ‘‘smuggled out of the country. I dare not go lest I be detected and meet a similar fate as is in store for them, and then again, Harrison has implicit confidence in you and will trust you,’’ said Dr. Bourbon to his wife. ‘‘It’s a dangerous undertaking but I am ready and willing,’’ she immediately replied, Miss Lilly had always been a daring horseback rider and that sad Saturday af- ternoon on her charming prancer she gal- loped by the guards and rode rapidly toward the Emancipator plantation ‘‘Do you know where Harrison is?’’ she nervous- lyl inquired of one of his brothers, who did not realize his impending fate. ‘*Yessum,’’ he drolly answered. ‘*Well, tell him Miss Lilly Lady wants to see him immediately.’’ In a few seconds Harrison stood before her and he too had no idea of the impend- ing mob storm that would soon envelop that plantation. ‘‘Much trouble is in store for you, Harrison, and to save the lives of yourself and your brothers all of you must come to my house this night. I will be on the watch, fail you not.’’? All this re- flown and only the father and grandson were found, who were summarily dispatched as said above. Though the entire week was devoted to the ‘‘nigger hunt’? and every avenue of escape watched by white men, yet it was a seven-day wonder how eleven black men could get out of a hostile country and no sight of them reported. The colored servants at Dr. Bourbon’s were surprised to be dismissed by Miss Lilly, but it being cotton picking time they were glad of the opportunity to get out and make some quick money. Dr. Bourbon did his chores each morning before joining the ‘‘nigger hunt.’’? His advise was much sought by the mob and he it was that planned the manner of execution when the Emancipator niggers were caught. At the close of the week the men grew weary of their toils and slowly but surely dispersed. By this time however a reward of $50,000 had been hung over the heads of the fugi- tives and detectives continued their search in the hope of getting the money. A month had passed since that sad Sat- urday in October and Miss Lilly sent for her servants and things moved on as of yore. The earth had apparently opened up and swallowed those eleven colored men and the whole affair was rapidly being for- gotten. Five years from that date one of the Emancipator boys, who had nothing to do with the killing of John Murderer, yea verily, if Harrison himself had anything to do with it, rode into Brandywine and was warmly received by some of the merchants, but a brother of John Murderer heard of it and with horsewhip and revolver in hands walked in on him and began to lay on, but down he went from a great blow of the fist of young Emancipator and as Mr. Murderer rose he looked down the mouth of a dangerous ‘‘45.’’ He backed away, but in wtenty minutes he headed a mad mob and was seeking his victim. The young black man was not found, but Dr. and Mrs. Bourbon had a new livried ser- vant the next day and drove over to Davis Bend to visit friends and in the meantime young Emancipator disappeared just as suddenly on this occasion, as all of them had done five years prior, and yet there was no family thereabouts held in higher esteem by the white aristocracy than was Dr. Bour- bon’s. The conclusion of the whole matter is: ““A friend in need is a friend indeed.’’ THE HORIZON (From The Crisis) The War the Booker Washington Auxiliary of the Red Cross in Fort Worth, Texas, raised $4.484 in one week.
