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 303 22d Ave. South DROP THE HYPHEN Since Uncle Sam's entre into the European war the Europeans and their descendants in the United States have dropped their hyphenated suffixes and instead of Irish-Americans and the like all of them have voted that in the future to be just plain Americans, but the black man and his descendants still insist on holding on to the hyphenated suffix and label themselves Afro-Americans or Negroes, thus making them the only foreigners now fighting for the flag "over there." I want to see the black Americans, like the Eurpeaons, become plain Americans and if there be any disposition on the part of the white Americans to deny them that right then fight for their rights. The black men of this country are as loyal and patriotic as are the white men and are giving as good account of themselves over there as the white men despite the fact they know that their brothers and sisters at home are being as shamefully mistreated by the Huns of the South as are the Belgians by the Huns of Germany. Think about a colored American soldier striking terror into the hearts f thoe Germans in battle and yet knowing of his mother being stripped before thousands of Mississippi roughnecks, tarred, feathered and then driven out of town, and that soldier yielding his last drop of blood to protect the flag, and you have some slight idea of what it costs a black man to be patriotic. What man has more right to be a full-fledged American than such a black man. The above is not an exact quotation of Mrs. Nettie J. Asberry of Tacoma, but is in substance, and to us it seems to hit the nail squarely on the head. NOT A VIGILANT COMMITTEE The vigilance of the members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in protecting the rights of the colored Americans is so commendable that they should go to the head for par excellent work, but to my mind there is more to do than to walk around with a chip on your shoulder looking for trouble to serve the colored man best. If the black man is advanced in the good things in life there will not be so much call for fighting for his social and political rights. Hundreds and perhaps thousands of colored families have recently come to Seattle as to most every other city of any size in the North, East and West, and if the Association would do its whole duty it would use its influence with these people to get homes, go into business and seek gainful occupations and thus become good citizens in name and nature. Its not nearly so hard for a good citizen to get his rights here or anywhere else as it is for an undesirable citizen. The advancement of the colored citizens to my mind has for its object their advancement mentally and morally and only in the manly art when it is absolutely necessary," briefly remarks the Rev. Barber, pastor of the Grace Presbyterian Church of this city, to which we say amen. During the life of Cayton's Weekly it has hammered away on this idea and it welcomes so able a convert to the cause. Ninety per cent of the colored families are able to own a home and if they do not its due to slothfulness and its the unqualified duty of the Seattle branch of the National Association to make some effort to quicken their interest in getting a home while getting is good. SOME SICKLY SENTIMENT Whoever was responsible for the fight, which the daily press made for the nomination of Mrs. Beals for justice of the peace of Seattle, ought to seek employment with Barnum's aggregation as being a past master at humbugging the public. One Cynthia Gray in the Star claimed that Mrs. Beals was supporting the families of her husband and two brothers who are over there, when in fact there was not a word of truth in the statement. Frank and Johnny Carroll, Mrs. Beals' brothers, are brave boys and all Seattle is proud of them and will do them great honor if they ever return, but they each get upwards of $300 per month and their wives and children are looked after by our government, and to leave the impression that Mrs. Beals is caring for the three families on $150 per month is so ridiculous that it is absolutely rotten. Irrespective of who is "over there," one seeking public office should be supported from a meritorious standpoint and not from a deceiving sympathetic standpoint. If one does not merit a thing then he or she should not get it. WANT TO BE CITIZENS Thousands of war workers from China and Japan are being employed in France under contract "for the war," but there is another clause in that contract which says, "be it understood that if these war workers desire to remain in France after the war they are not to be molested. In other words the Orientals are making it possible to remain in Europe after the cruel war is all over and perhaps sooner or later assimilate with the natives in whatever European country they find themselves when peace is declared. We have since the breaking out of the war maintained that the present conflict was the end of the white man's supremacy and that a race conglomeration would follow peace. The Latin countries are already made up of a mixture of bloods and with the Orientals there in great numbers and a shortage of men, it is fair to presume that a hybred race will show up in a few years after the war. THE RENT HOG That organized labor is profiteering at the public's expense is plain to be seen and yet organized labor is making the biggest holler about the "rent hogs." A mechanic in one or all of the shipyards of Seattle earns all the way from $6 to $10 per day, VOL. 3. NO. 14 which is an increase of wages over what the same class of mechanics got two years ago or in 1916, of 100 per cent and yet that same shipyard mechanic insists on his landlord raising his rent just 25 per cent over what it was in 1916. In other words if he was paying $12 per month for a steam heated apartment in 1916, which was the current price, he says that the rent of the same apartment now should only be $16 per month. Fuel and other apartment house necessities, be it remembered, have increased 100 per cent and yet the rent must only be increased 25 per cent. Who argues thusly is too silly to answer. The apartment that rented for $12 in 1916 should now rent for $30 if the owner of the property is expected to net 4 per cent per annum on his investment. In 1916 there was not an apartment house in Seattle that was netting 4 per cent per annum on the investment and even today there is perhaps not one in the city that is netting 7 per cent per annum on the investment. As an operator of an apartment house we would gladly accept 7 per cent per annum net on our investment and let the other fellow take the leavings. But, as said above, organized labor wants its profiteering to be made permanent but wants the other fellow's cut out. Its another case of "God bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more, and to hell with all the rest. EVERYBODY Don't waste—time, money, food or anything. Remember that every dollar spent unnecessarily takes somebody's time, somebody's labor, somebody's materials which Uncle Sam can use. It makes no difference how much money you have in your pockets. It's not the price that counts. There is just so much of everything useful—food, cloth, leather and metals, just to mention a few items—and Uncle Sam needs it all. Put your spare money into Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps. You will be helping the Government to help the boys at the front—and you'll be better off later on. Stick to your job. Shifting at this time dislocates industry, wastes time and money and does you harm in the long run. Only when Uncle Sam calls have you the moral right to throw over the task in hand. Don't slack and don't get extravagant because you are earning more than formerly. Remember the man Over There. Uncle Sam can't keep him supplied as he should be with food, ammunition and equipment if you are not more economical than ever. Don't compete with Uncle Sam. He needs all the workers he can get. Likewise all the materials which enter into the service of war. Don't advertise for a hundred men when you only require thirty. At least seventy will waste their time answering your call, and time is no more to be wasted than materials these days. Get in touch with the War Industries Board or the United States Employment Bureau (branches everywhere) and find out just what the Government expects of you.—Extracts, The Vigilantes. 111 There is a growing sentiment among the better thinking white folk of this country, that it would be to the best interest of the government if there were a few members fo Congress hailing from the colored population. If this is to be a popular or "democratic" government then all classes must be represented. In our opinion both Bourbonism and Standpatism are going to fall by the wayside at the enclusion of the present war and the masses take a turn at the wheel. May perhaps they will make a mess of it, but they cannot make a much worse mess of it than have the classes. Let the people rule. To do his bit, Charley Wood, King County's efficient purchasing agent, wants to go "over there" and if he does not it will be no fault of his. There is one thing certain he will do his duty and his whole duty whether over there or over here, and we truly hope he will be given an opportunity, his fifty-six winters to the contrary notwithstanding, to lend a hand to winning the war. In pronouncing the Americans "war mad" the Germans are very much like the old man that was too blind to see the barn, but could distinctly see the pigeon sitting on the barn. Pluck the beam out of your own eye Herr Boche before trying to pull a mote out of some one else's eye. In the death of E. B. Wishar of Richmond Beach, Washington, the editor hereof loses an ardent admirer from a journalistic standpoint. Though a retired newspaper man he always called for any publication with which we were connected to be sent regularly to his address. Mr. Wishar was an ideal citizen and though ripe in years he made himself useful to the end. Democracy seems to have made some slight headway in Maine at the recent state election—that is to say, the Democratic ticket this year got a few more votes than did the Democratic ticket two years ago. Maine, however, is still as safely Republican as is Mississippi Democratic despite the fact the Huns within lynch and burn at the stake all colored Americans who attempt to vote in Mississippi. In the controversy between the Union Record and Clarence Reames the public has no way of judging which one has lied, but the preponderance of the evidence seems to be against Reamsy. It was only to get a drink that the Germans took a stand, but the Allies wouldn't even stand for that. "The way of the transgressor is hard," so sayeth the Bible, and the Boches now realize it. The Republican who would vote for a Democratic nominee under the belief he or she was promoting patriotism even in times of war is a bigger fool than Thompson's colt, which swam the river to get a drink. Begin at your first opportunity to vote the rascals out. Some one told an Irishman, who owned a horse, "if you will curry and rub it one hour each time you feed it your horse will only eat half as much." After thinking it over the Irishman came to the conclusion that he would curry and rub it two hours at each meal time and he would not have to feed the horse at all, which he did, and was surprised at his horse dying. If "Col." Hawthorne has everybody in the United States to rush to the cities and towns to work in factories because they will only have to be employed four hours each day, won't all of them die of starvation for who will make the hog and hominy for such idlers to subsist on. If the colonel ain't crazy he talks just like it. ```markdown ``` OLD GLORY The "also rans" are now explaining how it happened. If Henry Ford, who is a candidate for the United States Senate on the Democratic ticket in the state of Michigan, said the things that the P.-I. says he did, then W. D. Haywood himself is a no more dangerous citizen than is Henry Ford. If an I. W. W. would make such utterances he would be sent to prison for one thousand years. It makes all the difference whose bull is gored. As Gen. Pershing's natal day approaches he seems determined to give his friends at home something more than an army title to celebrate. Use's alright Mistah General and we will sing so loud to you on your birthday that you will almost hear it "over there." Hit 'um again. Despite the fact he made a masterly run in the City of Chicago for the nomination of United States senator for Illinois, William Hale Thompson went to defeat at the hands of Medill McCormicek in last Tuesday's primary contest. Thompson's vote showed him very popular in Chicago, his critics to the contrary notwithstanding, and if he wants to run for mayor to succeed himself he will have no trouble in being nominated and elected. If McCormick does not beat Lewis three to one at the polls in November we will be much surprised. The directors of the Puget Sound Traction, Light and Power Company have accepted the offer of the City of Seattle to take over their street car system in Seattle for fifteen million dollars and it is thought that the city will be in absolute control by October 1st next. No move that has ever been made by the city officials has met public approval so generally as this and it is hoped that there will not be a single hitch in the transfer.

OLE HANSON Mayor of Seattle, who has succeeded in bringing the Puget Sound Traction Company to his figures for the City of Seattle to take over the street car system and its belongings for $15,000,000. NOT FIRST IN GERMANY By Leroy Huron Kelsey of The Vigilantes. The blatant claim is often made, with brazen arrogance, That German wisdom and research has made the world advance; But when we start to itemize the things of greatest worth, That benefit and comfort bring to people of the earth, We do not find them emanating from Teutonic brains, Although they quickly utilize whate'er another gains. The telegraph, the telephone, the engine run by steam; Acetylene and kerosene, 'lectric lights that gleam; The ocean cable, and the wireless, and the phonograph; The motion picture, and in fact the common photograph— All these would still be hidden from the races of mankind, If their disclosure had depended on the German mind. The telescope, the microscope, the antiseptic gauze; The anaesthetic for relief of pain from every cause; The principle of vaccination to prevent disease; The decimal and metric system, which we use with ease;— All these were given to the world by nations now at war Against Teutonic doctrines, which we heartily abhor. Our aniline for dyeing, and our rubber vulcanized: Electric cars and air-brakes, and the soft pneumatic tire; The plate-glass in our windows and our fences of barbed wire; All these were ne'er discovered in the land of braggard Hun, Although they try to fool us as to what they've really done. Machines for reaping harvest and machines for threshing grain; The cotton-gin, the submarine, the bird-like aeroplane; Machines for sewing clothing and machines to count our cash; Machines to write our letters, all so neatly, in a flash;— These also might have never come to bless the human race, If other folks had waited for the Huns to set the pace. E'en implements of warfare are not born of Prussian hands, Percussion caps, torpedoes, smokeless powder, dynamite, And nitroglycerin or shrapnel, all so deadly in a fight; While widely used, were none of them invented by a Hun. The Germans are mechanics, and are skillful in that line; They copy some one else's work, and often do it fine;— But when it comes to doing things that never had been done, They simply are not in it, and no laurels have they won: They talk of German "kultur" and they boast and strut about, But their big achievements are their pretzels, beer and kraut. --- POLITICAL POT POURI As it always does the primary election brought some startling surprises for the ambitious ones. Jack Stringer for an instance surprised himself in beating Bob Hodge for the nomination of sheriff. Fred Tuite was not nominated and was as much surprised that he did not get as many votes as both Stringer and Hodge as they were that he got any votes at all. Even Cayton's Weekly as well as the Union Record got stung by Jack Stringer. Bill Gaines did not do a thing to McBreen, but in that McBreen was the only person in county that was in the least surprised. Elmer F. Connor is the best campaigner we ever met but he seems to be such a poor vote getter. Mistah Wardall strolled through the corridors of the court house like a strutting peacock the day after election and if ever in the history of King County a man gave greater evidence of owning the world with a fence around it it must have been when Burns and Clancy ran the town. S. M. Brackett ran like a scared March hare, but at that he did not run fast enough to hold a torch for Fred C. Brown to run by. Now that John F. Miller has been overwhelmingly re-nominated lets turn in and give him every patriotic vote in the city. It would be a burning shame to permit a Democrat to get a single Republican vote for representative in Congress. In our opinion Z. B. Rawson is a splendid fellow and would have made an excellent representative in Congress, but the fifth plank of his platform is responsible for the small vote he got. He deserved and really merited better political treatment at the hands of those with whom he has spent the most of his life. Ralph Nichols has been re-nominated, in spite of the fact he was not the choice of the editor hereof. He seems to be able to repeatedly camouflage the people in his district, which is their funeral. Politically speaking, however, Ralph is the north end of a horse going south. It looked to the editor hereof that John B. Wright would lead all of the candidates for justice of the peace in Seattle, but as usual John B. Gordon did so, but Wright is thankful for the vote he got just the same and in the future as in the past will give the people the best there is in him. Victor Zednick was defeated for the nomination of justice of the peace which we sorely regret. Victor would have made an ideal justice and owing to his general popularity we can hardly see how he got left. Everett C. Ellis got a bit peeved at Cayton's Weekly for saying he was not popular and made his brag a few days before the election that he would show the "darky editor" a thing or two on election day, and he kept his word and showed us that he got one or two votes—but few more. For one place on the superior bench Crawford E. White, Thomas P. Revelle and Calvin S. Hall will fight. Each of them showed much strength and the race promises to be a very close one. Organized labor went after Clay Allen with hammer and tongs and despite its efforts he ran so fast that he will not have to run again, which would seem to indicate that if one wants to be certain of winning a poltiical contest get organized labor to fight him or her. The race for county assessor was Robert A.'s tripple trip to the primary tank and each time he gets less than the prior time. This gentleman might as well have had the colored vote of the county as he got two years ago, but he got funny and for that got left. Hugo Kelly might have gotten further into the fight if he had not gotten conceited and thought he had the world by the tail and a down hill pull. However, Frank Hull had the backing of the court house ring and it was a case of hanging together or hanging separately. Edward B. Palmer got his usual lay off and George B. Lamping will hold down the job. Though a very astute politician he has never been able to succeed himself. Palmer might get further along in politics if he could ever get it out of his nut that everybody but himself are damphools. Kenneth Mackintosh will be the only judicial in the state of Washington that will not have opposition. In ye olden political days we frequently told Kenneth he was a lucky dog and we have not changed our minds. Organized labor made a fight against Mount and Main, but they did not realize it in the finals. Both of these men have made most excellent judicials and should be overwhelmingly elected. Alice S. Presto fared no better in the primary election than did Alice Lord. Both of the above Alices were seeking Republican nominations for state senator and each met her waterloo. If now Alice Lord does not withdraw from organized labor she will not be true to herself. If organized labor had been loyal to Miss Lord she instead of Frank H. Rennick would be the Republican nominee for state senator in the 35th senatorial district. ```markdown ``` CLAY ALLEN Who, in spite of organized labor, leads the judicial non-partisan ticket. The final count may give him votes enough to be placed on the ticket only as already elected THE COMING ISSUE Senator Borah offers an extremely pessimistic forecast of the Presidential election of 1920. Assuming that the war will be over, the Senator predicts that the contest will be between Wilson and Roosevelt and will turn on the personalities of the two men. The Democrats will take their stand on the fact that Wilson won the war; the Republicans, on the fact that Roosevelt made Wilson win it. As to such issues as America's new place in the international scheme, the demobilization of the armies and the war industries, public ownership, labor policy, taxation, both parties will dodge them. This forecast is not altogether unreasonable. The conventional type of party leader likes noth- ing better than a campaign turning on points of history. For a generation after the Civil War such leaders were making their living out of fighting its battles over at the polls. They would welcome a similar opportunity in the new age. But according to Senator Borah's own premises, the conventional leaders are not to be in command of either of the parties. Whoever the actual candidates are to be, Wilson and Roosevelt are party statesmen first of all and only incidentally party politicians. Both men realize that the future belongs to the party that succeeds ni pre-empting the vital issues that are to command the loyalty of the majority. Either would rather see his party lose in the first skirmish than permit it to be thrust into the position of obstruction that the Democratic party occupied after the Civil War. In its congressional programme the Socialist party sets forth that while the principles announced by the party in 1915 are reaffirmed, whatever that may mean, "in all that concerns the settlement of this war the American Socialist party is in general accord with the inter-Allied conference." Those who have regarded the American Socialists as doctrinary pacifists may find it interesting to examine the principles of the inter-Allied conference to which the Socialists now subscribe: Belgium shall be liberated and compensated, Poland shall be "reconstituted in unity and independence with a free access to the sea." Throughout Europe, "from Alsace-Lorraine to the Balkans, those populations that have been annexed by force shall receive the right freely to dispose of themselves." There shall be a League of Nations with full power to settle all disputes, by force, where necessary, and all nations adhering to it must be completely democratized, with the government absolutely responsible to the people, more especially as regards the control of foreign affairs. "The conference condemns the handing back to the systematically cruel domination of the Turkish government any subject people." The conference does not propose to dismember Austria-Hungary, but the claims of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo-Slavs cannot be regarded as questions for internal decision. National independence ought to be granted them if they desire it. The conference proposes to set up a Court of Claims and Accustations under the League for a full judicial investigation of acts of cruelty, oppression and violence in the course of the war. Until all this is achieved the interAllied conference, and by its announced adhesion, the American Socialist party are inflexibility resolved to continue the war. The Germans may take notice that this is where the peace-at-any-price idea now stands in the Allied countries.—The New Republic. TUTT'S BARBER SHOP "He wants to see you."

"My grandfather," he said, "was a very great man. One day Queen Victoria touched his shoulder with a sword and made him a lord." "Aw, that's nothin'," the Boy Scout replied. "One day Red Wing, an Indian, touched my grandfather on the head with a tomahawk and made him an angel."—Boys' Life. There was a city lady visiting some relatives in the country and as she was walking down the lane she saw some calves. Thinking to display her knowledge, she remarked: "O what pretty little cowlets." Bill, the farm boy, came up about that time, heard her remarks, and said: "Excuse me, miss, but them's bullets."—Boys' Life. A gentleman, desiring for some reason to ascertain the number of men employed in one of the United States navy-yards, approached the marine on guard at the gate and inquired: "Could you tell me how many men are working in there?" "Yes, sir," answered the guard. "About one-half of them, sir." A banker was in the habit of wearing his hat a good deal during business hours, as in summer the flies used his bald pate for a parade-ground, and in winter cold breezes swept over its polished surface. A colored workman on the railroad each week presented a check and drew his wages, and one day, as he put his money into a greasy wallet, the banker said: "Look here, Mose, why don't you let some of that money stay in the bank and keep an account with us?" The man leaned toward him, and, with a quizzical look at the derby the banker wore, answered confidentially: "Boss, I'se afeard. You look like you was always ready to start somewhere."—Sample Case.

Five cent bread, cheaper coal, living wages, and jail for the gouging profiteer. Peace has no such victories. It stands out in bold relief that those who attempt to travel the road to success by dishonesty and violence are sure to array the world against them. The difference between a taxi driver and a taxidermist is that the taxi driver skins the people and the taxidermist skins animals. Many useful things could be accomplished in this world if the time devoted to talking was consumed in action. The fact, however, does not seem to lessen the number of useless arguments. The trouble with some men is that it takes so long to make up their minds to do good or help to accomplish something that death overtakes them before they realize what they have missed. The most graceful and sensible thing for some individuals to do when they discover that they are of no good to themselves or to the community is to get some instrument and let the gray matter out of their ivory dome. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth you might get the horse laugh. There is luck in pluck, but no pluck in luck, so without pluck and perseverance you cannot succeed. The sun of success never sets on luck alone. Success easily gained is flimsy and not of the lasting type.

If the National Red Cross cannot use our graduated Nurses overseas why not establish a canteen brigade and divide some of our contributions with them, so our boys on passing through the cities may have the pleasure of enjoying a snack or so, it will appear more democratic. Have not we colored citizens given our hard earned cash to them for the same cause? If you wish to court disfavor from your fellow acquaintances hold and prove yourself superior to them. If it is necessary for you to make enemies pick out the most useless and no account fellows. The man who spends his time sitting on a nail-keg at the grocery store ranks as a producer with the hen that sits on a door knob, except that the hen is honest in her intentions. When a man meets trouble half way he has a poor companion for the rest of the journey. Sometimes being married to a man means merely seeing him in the morning instead of in the evening. About the time a man is old enough to realize the importance of making hay while the sun shines it begins to rain. When argument meets ignorance it might as well turn back. Before embracing an opportunity it is a good plan to find out who has been embracing it before. The rain is more apt to fall on the just than the unjust when the unjust has sneaked off with your umbrella. About the only way a man can win an argument is to state his side of the case, then slam the door behind him. This may sound queer, but pat a man on the back too often and you will cause his head to enlarge. People who really have religion don't brag of it; they let their lives speak for themselves.
