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 22nd Ave. South Thousands of years ago—long before the great western nations of today, long before even Greek and Roman were heard of—there were more or less advanced civilizations on both sides of the Pacific. China, for example, had grown into a stable Mongolian kingdom perhaps 4,000 years before the beginning of our era. A Chinese author writes: "There is no existing nation in the world that has a larger past than China. She has seen the rise and fall of the ancient Egyptian dynasties; the extension of the Persian empire; the conquests of Alexander; the irresistible advance of the Roman legions; the deluge of the Teutonic hordes from the north, and the birth of all the nations of modern Europe." The Japanese also, a people compounded of various elements, but chiefly Mongolian and Malayan, stood at the beginning of our era on a high plane of civilization, and even then exhibited the tendencies and the adaptiveness which distinguish them today. Then away to the east in Central and South America, civilizations waxed and waned, reaching their highest development in the Aztec and Incan empires, the latter of which was an extremely interesting example of despotic socialism. "HOUSES ROOFED WITH GOLD" "Houses roofed with gold," of which Marco Polo wrote from rumor, were not mythical. On first arriving in Japan I made a journey to Otoko Yama, in central Japan, January 27, 1871, to test the story. For centuries gold had little more value in Japan than in South America when Balboa sought the Pacific. Even until 1859 gold was worth only four times as much as silver. I found at the Shinto temple, erected 859 A. D., a gilded rain conduit which once encircled the whole of the eaves of the roof, but after the long wars only 30 feet or so was left. Even at the Vienna exposition the solid gold plates on the dolphin from the Nakoya castle attracted attention. It is historically true that in early Japan there were roofs of gold.—W. E. Griffiths in New York Tribune. MAKING THE PLEASURE COMPLETE People who were present smiled at the little passage of arms which took place between two young ladies at a luncheon. One of them, a bride, shaking hands in her characteristically cordial way, said to the other: "I'm so glad to meet you! You have afforded me so very much amusement lately." "Oh, ves." went on the bride. "I've been through my husband's desk, and I've read all his old love letters. I found several very affectionate letters from you, and I enjoyed reading them ever so much." "I'm so glad you enjoyed them," purred the other. "But do come and see me very soon. Here is my card. I have the answers to all those letters, and you might like to reading them as well. Mr. X.'s letters are so much more affectionate thna those I wrote to him. I know you'll enjoy reading them ever so much more than you did mine." AN IMPORTANT POINT The wife of a professional man had advertised for a girl to do the housework, and was showing an applicant over the house. She had been very liberal in her promises of privileges, and it looked as though the two were about to come to an agreement, when the girl suddenly asked: "Do you do your own stretchin'?"" "Do we do our own what?" asked the puzzled mistress. "Stretchin'," repeated the girl solemnly. "Do you put all the food on the table at dinner and stretch for it, or do I have to shuffle it round?" SOME OPTIMISTS! Talking of optimists," said Furbiston; "have you heard the story about Woolby?" "No," said his friends. "Well, the folk in the town where he lives are getting up a raffle in aid of charity. There are ten thousand tickets at a quarter each, and the prize is a motor car. Woolby took one ticket. Now he's busy erecting a garage." "Not bad!" said Johnson. "It reminds me of Joe Kelly. Ever heard of him?" "No," said the others. "Well, Joe was poor, but he often used to go to a fashionable restaurant without a cent in his pocket and order oysters. He calculated upon paying for his supper with the pearls he hoped to find in the oysters." Join the army behind the army—be a war saver. It has been decided by the powers that be that the government shall hold the railroads for the next five years. It will be a strong spoke in the next Democratic campaign wheel to have the railroads as a campaign asset. For the first time in the history of the United States of North America a president thereof has set foot on foreign soil. President Wilson in this has broken all precedent and is and expects to be in Europe for many many days. As he has broken this so does he hope the third term unwritten law and succeed himself unless he happens to be made monarch of the world, which he hardly will be. COST OF WORLD WAR TO BELLIGERENTS IS OVER $220,000,000,000 The war cost to the world is made up of approximately the following figures: United Kingdom, $52,000,000,000. France, $32,000,000,000. Germany, $39,000,000,000. United States, $20,543,471,000. Russia, $30,000,000,000. Italy, $12,000,000,000. VOL. 3, No. 27 Austria-Hungary, $20,000,000,000. Bulgaria and Turkey, $5,000,000,000. Other belligerents, $10,000,000,000. The allied nations have spent about $157,000,000,000, while their enemies have spent about $64,000,000,000. Of the amount spent by the United States $7,732,000,000 represents credits to allies. The United States government's disbursements for October amounted to $1,542,056,-613 as compared with $280,538,167 for the corresponding period a year ago, almost six times as much. One more Liberty Loan, of about $4,000,-000,000, is regarded as inevitable. It is figured that this loan will come about March 1. The treasury is offering certificates of indebtedness to carry it until that time. These certificates, of course, will be refunded in bonds. Mr. Average Man is firmly convinced that the women spend the money and that a lot of it goes for their dressing. Well, here are some facts on the matter: The Bureau fo Labor Statistics in Secretary Wilson's Department of Labor has been studying the yearly cost of clothing for a hundred representative families in the New York City shipbuilding district. The average income involved was $1,730 per year. They found it cost $73.17 to dress papa, $52.04 to dress mamma; big brother's clothes came to $70.41; big sister's to $62.13; the kids in school ran from $37.81 to $40.46 for the boys, $33.07 to $38.86 for the girls; boys under six had to have about $32.30 worth of clothes for the year, and male babies $19.10; the little girls cost $29.60 to dress, and the female babies $22.36, and it is in this last class that the women, for the first and only time in their lives, are more sartorially expensive than the men! That to our mind was a magnificent article, concerning the colored soldiers, which appeared in the last issue of Cayton's Weekly and came dangerously close to completely absorbing the paper. Its very rarely that a white man will write concerning the colored folks with such a degree of fairness and still more rare that a paper with the circulation of the Metropolitan will print such an article when submitted and for that reason we unhesitatingly sidetracked everything else to give it the right of way. The shortcomings of the colored man were brought out and the excuses therefor fully depicted. Would to God there were more such writers and fewer such skunks as Irvin S. Cobb. Sojourner Truth Club is the name of a new organization that promises to be one of extensive usefulness in the very near future. The prime motive of the organizers of the club is to build a home for colored women and girls, not by any means a chraitable home, but a home in fact where women out of employment and girls without the protection of mothers can get home-like accommodations and greatest of all motherly advice from kind hearted women. Each one will be expected to pay a rental for the quarters and accommodations she receives commensurate with her earnings. Nothing to our mind is more necessary than the establishing of such a home in --- ```markdown ``` Seattle and we hope to see the move meet the hearty approval of the general public and receive a most generous support, which would enable the women to purchase an improved property and at once set about its work. The officers for the ensuing years are Mrs. Clara Bonner, president; Mrs. Mattie Oliver, vice-president; Mrs. Ida Wilson, recording secretary; Miss Bennett Dorn, corresponding secretary and Mrs. Delia Whicker, treasurer. The Club already has a membership of 36. For a life membership one has to subscribe $100, paying $10 at the time of joining and $5 per month until the amount has been paid in. One can become a charter member by paying $5 initiation fee. The annual dues of all members are $5. The Club will meet twice a month, the first and fourth Tuesdays, the first the business meeting and the second a membership luncheon. Despite the fact that the men who met at Dr. Cardwell's office last Friday went on record as opposing any collection being taken up at any of the churches to help defray the expenses of Delegate Carter to the Equal Rights Conference, yet a collection was lifted at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church raising $45. All present objected to the church collecting idea and so expressed themselves, and in appealing to the members of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church for additional funds a gentleman's agreement was broken. That was a more or less interesting business meeting of the Seattle Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The roster of officers for the ensuing year are President S. H. Stone, Vice-President Harvey Chandler, Secretary Alice S. Presto, Assistant Secretary, Ethel Howard, Treasurer L. A. Graves. The executive committee is composed of N. I. Asberry (Tacoma), J. B. Barber, H. R. Cayton, J. F. Cragwell, G. W. Jones, E. F. B. Richardson, Milton Vernon, I. I. Walker and Arthur Williams. The next regular meeting of the Branch will be held the evening of January 1st at the Grace Presbyterian Church for which a committee composed of I. I. Walker, Rev. J. B. Barber and H. R. Cayton will arrange a program. For years as editor of either this or some other weekly paper we have protested against the daily papers quoting even well educated colored men in plantation jargon, but comes now Lieutenant Charles S. Parker of the U. S. Army, who is in France, in a letter to some one in Seattle, which is published in the P. I. under glaring headlines and winds up quoting a "private buck" from Alabama in the most humiliating anti-bellum jargon. Be it remembered that Lieutenant Parker was at one time one of Washington's foremost colored citizens and has protested to the daily press of Spokane just as persistently as we have against putting such jargon in the mouths of colored men. We are of the opinion that the very next time a colored person goes to the daily press of Seattle to protest against jargonizing the words of colored persons appearing in print he or she will be told we are doing no more in that direction than your leading colored men and the interview will end with "Clean up your own house before telling us to clean up ours." The meeting last Friday evening in Dr. D. T. Cardwell's office was one that thoroughly demonstrated the forcibility of the Seattle Spirit, which has built a city of gigantic proportions where but a few years ago the hills and hollows were covered with the virgin forests. At the suggestion of Rev. W. D. Carter some twenty or thirty men met as stated above to consider the advisability of sending a delegate to Washington City to participate in the Equal Rights Congress, which will convene December 16th, having for its prime object the sending of delegates to the world's peace conference at Marseilles. Those present soon resolved themselves into a subsidiary body and elected Rev. W. D. Carter, president; S. H. Stone, vice-president; Rev. J. B. Barber, secretary, and B. F. White, treasurer. Rev. W. D. Carter was unanimously elected delegate to the congress and those present raised then and there the necessary funds to defray his expenses. Those who subscribed to the fund were: Colored Conscript Fund $61.67, N. A. P. C. P. Fund $25, Rev. Carter $5, W. F. Green $5, W. E. Vrooman $6, Dr. Cardwell $6, H. Gregg $6.25, C. R. Anderson $5, H. R. Cayton $6, W. Chandler $6.50, Z. L. Woodson $6.75, W. Williams $5.25 B. F. Tutt $6, H. Legg $5, J. W. Anderson $2, A. D. Taylor $5.50, Mr. Lusk $2, S. H. Stone $3.50, W. H. Banks $3, P. Frazier $5, Mr. DeBow $5, J. R. Barnes $5, Anonymous 25c. Tota $l189.17. BLACK AND TAN The clandestine micegenation of the white and black folk fo the United States has been going on so long and so persistently that the legal and holy miscegenation is being seriously discussed, especially among the white folk and the letter below in the Seattle Daily Star is to the point in question. Dear Miss Grey: "M. W." wants to know if Negro will show in any children he might have, in marrying a girl who is one-sixteenth Negro blood. A good answer to the gentleman would be that if he has the race prejudice, his query indicates, he had better leave the girl alone. Ten years from now, whether or not his children show the slightest resemblance to the Negro, he will remember that she is Negro, and throw it up at her, and perhaps leave her as so many white men do, when they marry outside the white race. Negro blood is strong in original tendencies because the race is primitive, closer to nature than the highly trained and specialized white races. For this reason, traits peculiarly Negro may develop, even in the girl, later on, after marriage, as well as the children. Persons have been seen who were, and are, as white Caucasian in form and feature as any one, who showed Negro mental traits, and any Southerner can tell you the South is full of people who are as white as you or I, but who are Negro in everything else. The Negro WILL predominate when the blood is mixed, because it is the stronger, from its proximity to primitive nature. So, unless he can love the girl, regardless of her Negro ancestry, and his children, without fearing Negro appearance or traits, he is only heaping up misery for them and himself, too. He will hate both the girl and his children by her, unless he is broad enough to forget the matter of race entirely. I know two young men in this city who don't know they are colored, fine, manly boys; some day they wil marry fine women, and some day the women will find the matter out, and then look out for fireworks. Men and women of mixed Negro and Caucasian blood are very attractive, so much so that Quatrefages, the French scientist, says they are superior to the full-blooded white in personal charm. It is a well known fact that their minds are very active. Booker Washington, Fred Douglas and a host of educated Negroes in this country attest the mentality of mixed blooded Negro men. There is nothing to be ashamed of except in the mind of the party himself, but he had better not do it, and cause them and himself future misery and unhappiness in many ways. Lytwayt, the butcher, had been very busy for a few moments with a well-worn dictionary. Suddenly he closed it with a snap and glowered at his wife in the cash-desk. "That Mrs. Smart is getting too clever," he growled. "What's the matter?" asked the lady, surprised at this criticism of a good customer. "When she came in just now she told me I ought to rename my scales the Ambuscade brand." "Well, why—?" "I've just looked up the word," went on the infuriated man, "and the dictionary says that ambuscade means 'to lie in weight.'" The sergeant-major had the reputation of never being at a loss for an answer. A young officer made a bet with a brother officer that he would, in less than twenty-four hours, ask the sergeant-major a question that would baffle him. The sergeant-major accompanied the young officer on his rounds, in the course of which the cookhouse was inspected. Pointing to a large copper of water just commencing to boil, the officer said: "Why does that water only boil around the edges of the copper and not in the center?" "The water around the edge, sir," replied the veteran, "is for the men on guard; they have their breakfast half an hour before the remainder of the company." W.S.S. WAR SAVINGS STAMPS ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Cayton's Weekly has been favored with a number of subscribers since its first issue and its editor has never once stopped to inquire whether the matter contained in its columns from time to time pleased or displeased a majority of its subscribers. What, however, it has said made you and each of you set up and take notice and was meet for thought one way or the other, and you, therefore, have been benefitted. Within the next four weeks another Christmas will be with us and though the editor hereof is now in his sixtieth year he has no remembrance of having ever received a Christmas present of real value. For the surprise of our life we are going to ask every reader of Cayton's Weekly to send it at least one year's subscription and mark it Christmas and we promise you the letter will not be opened until Christmas day. We know of no present that would give us so much pleasure as every subscriber and reader of this weekly paper sending in a year's subscription to be opened on Christmas day. Perhaps many of the busy men and women will not give this odd request very much if any consideration, but "there is no fool like an old fool" and this hobby of ours is one, if it works, that will give us much pleasure and in return, for the ensuing twelve months, we promise to send to your address each week a paper that will either disgust you or excite your admiration just as much as has those copies of Cayton's Weekly that have been published by us for the past two and a half years. Let us hear from you and each of you in a way that will make us feel glad Christmas day. CAYTON'S WEEKLY, Seattle, Wash. 303 22nd South. CHRISTMAS JOIN IS ```markdown ``` SOUTHERNER WITHOUT PREJUDICE "Southerner Without Prejudice" has given a most lucid diagnosis of the situation Yea, so lucid, that it may cause many to overcome their fears as to what may crop out in their offsprings and marry the man or woman, his or her heart is set on and that too despite the fact one or the other may have strains of colored blood in his or her veins. White men raved over the beauties of quadroon and octaroon girls ever since there have been such and that seems to have originated way back yander, when the world begun. Anthropologists tell us that the Holy Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, was the offspring of black and white parents—in short, a mulato. Evidently Joseph fell for her brunett charms. After Cleopatra's armies had been defeated by the all-conquering armies of Julius Caesar she started out, single-handed and alone, to capture Caesar, and being an offspring of a white and colored couple, history says she was a most beautiful woman,, and so she had her servants to roll her up in the most expensive Oriental rug and carry her into the conquerer's rooms. It's useless to add, he fell for her charms and so long as he ruled Rome, Cleopatra ruled Egypt. Though Napolean Boneparte afterwards divorced his beautiful queen Josephine, who saw the light of day in Martinique, and was the offspring of white and black parents, yet he raved over her in early life and loved her to his dying day, but divorced her because she could not bear children, the probabilities of them showing Negro blood to the contrary notwithstanding. There now seems to be little doubt that instead of Pocahontas being a simple Indian squaw, she was one of those charming quadroons so common to Virginia and to cover the disgrace (?) of Capt. John Smith marrying a Negro, she was palmed off by the Virginians as an Indian. The offspring of white and black folks are as a rule, very beautiful, and not only beautiful, but very brainy, especially the girls, and the man can not be found, who, if an opportunity is offered, will not fall for their charms. The writer is probably better acquainted in Seattle than is "Southerner Without Prejudice" and instead of two persons with colored blood in their veins having turned white, he knows more than 200 and they are marrying whites and in some instances their colored blood is known. There are almost six million black and white persons in the United States and this anti-Negro marrying agitation in the very near future is going to get an awful jolt.
