TELEPHONE: BEACON 3579 Office 317 22nd Ave. South PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS The results of every election are disappointments to some one, for it is utterly impossible for all to win, but I must say the results of last Tuesday's election, despite the fact I did not get all I went after, were, on the whole, very gratifying to me as I opposed no one from a selfish view point nor for a sinister motive, and if some one won, whom I did not support, I will be just as loyal to the winner as I would have been to the one I supported with all my heart and soul. The success of Wesley L. Jones was highly gratifying to me for more reasons than one. First, because it would have been a national calaity had he have been defeated, since he stands head and shoulders above any one in th United States Senate at present. Secondly, because it would have been an absolute disgrace had Bill Inglis been sent to the United States Senate for anything save that of a messenger as he has no more fitness for the position of senator than a Comanchee Indian. Thirdly, because the success of Jones was another crushing defeat to the Seattle Star, the editorial swill barrell of the Northwest. Fourthly, because Senator Jones has been the constant friend of the colored man in spite of the bitter opposition of the Southern red handed murderers, and fifthly, and lastly, because no one in the Senate has fathered as much real constructive legislation as has Jones and he is the one real big man of that body. While John F. Miller is not a man of my liking, yet I supported him because I felt that he would come nearer beating the Democratic nominee than the other fellow. Hugh Todd, the Democratic nominee, is however going to give Mr. Miller a real battle and if the Farmer-Labor candidate and the Democratic nominee get together and one or the other withdraws, and if it happens to be Todd that is selected to make the race, then Mr. Miller will have a much closer call than he had two years ago. I am unalterably opposed to sending any Democrats to Congress from this state and that is why I am for John F. Miller. Per se I was for Hart for governor and yet I realized that Hartley was equally as good a man, and so on this point, I straddled the fence in my pre election recommendations. I am inclined to think a majority of the colored voters of the state voted for Hartley and yet hundreds of them supported Hart. I am highly gratified at the outcome of this contest, and yet I would not have been disappointed had Hartley been nominated. The defeat of George Bullcon Lamping gave me more real pleasure than the success of Hart. The success of W. J. Coyle was not exactly a disappointment to me, but it was a surprise. In the election forecast I did not even do him the political courtesy of con- sidering him as I did not believe he had a ghost of a chance. I supported Billie Connor and I yet believe his defeat and Coyle's success was a political mistake. In this contest, however, like the gubernatorial one, the defeat of E. L. French gave me more real pleasure than could have the success of either of the other candidates. The success of Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston gave me almost as much pleasure as that of Senator Jones. First, because Mrs. Preston is a real woman and a profound educator and has done more for the public schools of this state than all of her predecessors combined and her ability in educational lines has become nation wide. Secondly, because she was opposed by a woman, who stooped to mud slinging, and if I heard and read correctly, to down right falsifying. Thirdly, because the same old King county bunch headed by Durham and Burrows, in my opinion, led like dogs about Mrs. Preston. I predict that she is going to lead the Republican ticket in November and if not surely it will be no fault of mine. The contests on the other part of the state ticket was of little or no consequence and I gave them but a passing consideration. I supported Fishback for insurance commissioner, not because I liked him or even thought him an obliging public official, but because I was thoroughly tired of the "captains, colonels and majors" demanding everything in sight because they had gone to war. There were three contests in King county and in those I was completely snowed under. I supported Joel F. Warren for sheriff because I considered him the real man in the bunch running for that office, and while he came out second best, yet that was no better than if he had come out last. If Matt Starwich had any real faults I did not one time call the public's attention to them, but constantly kept my guns trained on Warren. Matt has made an ideal deputy, but I seriously doubt his ability to fill the office of sheriff and I here predict that if Joe Williams goes after Matt he will have to do some tall hustling to hold his party vote. In the defeat of Fred C. Brown for prosecuting attorney, I am inclined to think a real political blunder ahs been made, and if Dr. Brown makes as vigorous a campaign against Douglas as he did Fred Brown two years ago, he will defeat him by a couple of thousand votes, yet I heard it on the streets one day since election that Brown was not inclined to make a campaign against Douglas, yea the informer went so far as to say, Dr. Brown would not accept the Democratic nomination. The real surprise to me in the county fight was the strength D. E. Ferguson showed in the primaries. I predicted the fight would be between Spear and Smith and did not think Ferguson had more than a scattering vote. I surmise his nomination was as much a surprise to Spear as it was to me. Lincoln Smith in my opinion would have given the county an ideal administration in that office, but it was not in the cards for him to do so. It occurs to me that Dr. David T. Cardwell got all het up in the late primary contest and became so deeply interested in Vol. 5, No. 14 the candidacy of Harvey II. Phipps that he felt called upon to pass the lie to the editor of Cayton's Weekly through the columns of another weekly publication. Such a modus procedure may be good politics, but I have never found it so. I have been in the political game in this state for the past thirty years and have often heard the wind blow and even screech, but am still doing business at the same old stand, and the impetuous doctor will yet learn that it takes more than being branded a liar by one, who ought to have more manners, to drive me out of the game. His dictatorship of the colored politicians of the state will be of short duration unless he assumes a less pugnacious attitude toward his lieutenants. In the late primary election Col. Roland H. Hartley of Everett made a clean cut campaign and might have won the nomination had his Seattle headquarters been differently managed. Bob Fox, who has been out of the state for the past four years, knew little or nothing about the political situation here and was nothing short of a flat failure in the management of the Hartley campaign, and few if any of the fifty or more parasites with which he surrounded himself knew the first lesson in meeting the public and his publicity managers were simply rotten, so far as the political game is concerned. The firm of Strang & Prosser, who handled the Hartley publicity end of his campaign, is in our opinion, composed of a brace of greedy guts, who do nothing unless the firm is getting the big end of it, and the newspaper fraternity of this county, in our opinion, in future will help no candidate, who selects Strang & Prosser as his or her publicity manager. Had the Hartley campaign been under the management of Connor of Lake Forest Park the Col. would be telling a different story today. We are some times unfortunate in the selection of our friends and in this instance Col. Hartley was painfully unfortunate. Whether the success of Tom Dobson or the ignominious defeat of Mike Carrigan gave me the greatest amount of pleasure I am in doubt. Dobson had made a splendid official and deserved renomination and to that end I supported him loyally. It is now up to Mike to move to the south district and get it again. Mike's political ambition reminds me of a great rock on the plains, which had inscribed on it. Turn Me Over Quick and You Will Find Something, which was observed by a lone traveler on his way to the mountains in quest of gold mines. He struggled with all of his might and main to turn the rock over and after having done so his reward was. Now Turn Me Back and Let Me Fool Some One Else, which he did Horace Roscoe Cayton. Like E. F. Blaine we believe this state can solve the food problem of this country, but the trouble is as soon as it solved the food problem the profiteers would get control of the increased supply and then keep the prices just where they have kept them for the past four years. An Indian was arrested in Seattle the other day for having beaten a barber. Perhaps the barber followed the custom of most barbers and talked to the Indian and being an Indian talking was against his nature, so he was just teaching the barber not to talk to Indians even when he is shaving them. --- HART IS NOMINATED BY THE REPUBLICANS ```markdown ``` John Cragwell was for Governor Hart and fought his battles from the start and said to Cooper, Cardwell and the bunch, from me you take a friendly hunch and follow on the governor's trail, or you'll receive no White House mail. Many others fought faithfully by his side and thereby stemed a Hartley tide and now Doc Cardwell is particularly blue because he was to no man true. No Black-Bridges will be burned by Hart, and in the campaign play no part, to aid the Wilson League of Notions nor spread the wicked Warblzes' Wild emotions. Lou stands for all thats good and true for city, county, state and crew. "In time of war my country first," but Coxyites he plans to burst, and help to free the land of Democratic rule, that learned its lessons from a Southern school. Bob Bridges and his oily tongue with Bill Black and his lusty lung will meet defeat by Republican part(y) which be led by Lou F. Hart. BY THE GOV. LOUIS H. HART Nominated to Succeed Himself Say Rolly do you realize, that Lou F. Hart has won the prize, and now is resting on the waters wild before he tackles a bigger child? Lou is some scrapper in the mart where politicians play their part, and all men looked alike to him, if for his office they had a whim, and he slew them hip and thigh, if at any time they tried to pass him by. Self preservation is old Nature's law and at the game Hart had his paw. T nself Lamping, Stringer, Coman and Gellalty, too, should now become the governor's crew, that Washington follow in the wake of Maine, and keep her in the 'publican lane. The family row came to an end when Hart went sailing round the bend, in lead of all the candidates and swiftly hove into the gates. With Harding in the White House bin and Hart stored in the state house tin, our country will be safe from mobs that cause so many bitter sobs. Lets go for Hart and all the gang that we may shout hoosana rang. JBLICANS --- EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Just remember the Maine when you go to vote next November. Who ever doubts that the State of Washington has a Hart certainly has a guess coming. Now that the election is over lets hope that the vilification dictionary will for another two years be laid away. The Farmer-Labor convention last Tuesday after all was Strong enough to pull the Rev. Sidney into the political game. Jimmie Cox sees no significance in the Maine vote, which must mean that John Barleycorn played no part in the finals there. It seldom happens that Wall Street has a jar, but she got one the other day that made even J. P. Morgan set up and take notice. Mayor Thompson "and his niggers" of Chicago seem to have the State of Illinois, from a political standpoint, in their vest pockets. A bouquet of cactus would be a fitting compliment on the part of Senator Wesley L. Jones to the Seattle Star for opposing him in the late primaries. Both Lamping and French, political buckaneers, have gone where the woodbine twineth, where we trust they will remain forever and one day afterwards. In the Triple Alliance convention last Tuesday Col. Henry Thompson seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle. Say, Brer Bradly, you made a slight blunder. Realizing that it was impossible to win the pennant by going over the top the Seattle base ball team seems to have decided to get it by going through the bottom. As much opposed to the black man as is the average Democrat, yet the Democratic party of this state has nominated a Black man for governor. What fools we mortals be. With the League of Notions and John Barleycorn tied to his campaign coat tail, as much as we are opposed to the election of Jimmie Cox, yet we are forced to pity him. In our opinion C. J. France is going to have one hell of a time heroizing himself on account of being dropped from a superfluous position only from a salary standpoint in his favor. Col. House, who recently returned to this country from Europe, has gone to Boston instead of Texas. Having failed to run things in Europe, in Boston he may get some new ideas. Perhaps Dr. Hurd of Seattle did much toward helping the Allies lick Germany, but he is now in for a good sound thrashing from a German as he recently married a German woman of alleged noble birth. Macswiney, who is trying to starve himself to death in an English prison to create sentiment, which he hopes will result in the freedom of Ireland from the English yoke, is having a hard time in making a die of it. We are of the opinion that Dr. D. T. Cardwell will yet learn that there are others besides himself in this political game and that they like himself have opinions that he must respect or he will get caught in a mighty political jam. Though the equinoctual storms seem to have gotten here a little ahead of time, yet the most of us recognized them and wished them God speed that we might enjoy a few more pleasant weeks of sunshine before King Pluvius began his reign. In speaking about the senatorial candidates in this state prior to the election some one referred to one of the candidates as Bill Ingalls and as far as we are from the state of Kansas yet we heard the rattling of the dry bones of the immortal John J. Ingalls. So determined is the automobile to kill some one that one in Seattle broke away from its moorings and in its mad flight crushed a woman to death. It used to be said of a gun that it was dangerous without stock, lock or barrell, a man having been beaten to death with a ram rod. Lets hope the automobile will not acquire a like repuitaton. Every time a colored man runs for a nomination in Seattle he gets a few more votes than the one who previously ran, which is a hopeful sign. Dr. Maxwell got over five hundred votes last Tuesday, half as many as the winner, which was a big improvement over the vote gotten by a colored man in the same district two years ago. "Jest tell um we is risin'." In the forty-fourth legislative district George Meacham was nominated and he will be elected, but once he gets a taste of politics and he will be after something else and in the meantime let every colored man in the state lay dead for him and when he does come up for something outside of that district just remember what he had to say about them. Its a long lane that has no turn. "Candidates should tour the country," says Gov. Cox, and of course make fools of themselves as the most of the presidential candidates, who have toured the country have done. Blaine toured the country and lost, Harrison toured the country and lost, Hughes toured the country and lost and Cox has toured the country, and if he does not loose, then the returns from Maine belie themselves. PURELY PERSONAL Odd Fellows Attention! Mt. Rainier will initiate 21 members September 23rd at the Jeerson Hall, 21st and East Jefferson. J. T. Bailey, Noble Grand, E. R. Cainey, secretary. Sojourner truth club will hold annual meeting at the club home 1422-23rd Ave. Tuesday evening, Sept. 21st. The public is cordially invited to be present. Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Jamison are much pleased with their undertaking the management of the Laurel Apartments and have already rented to a number of permanent tenants. For the convenience of those looking for the place take the Yesler Way cable and get off at Twenty-second and walk one block south or take either No. 9 or No. 11 and get off at Twenty-second avenue south and walk one block north. The members of the Webb Orchestra, a musical aggregation of rare talent, are to become permanent citizens of this city. They gave their first public entertainment last evening. Next week the Rev. W. D. Carter, the chief promoter of the New Mount Zion Baptist church, Harry S. James, the architect of the same, and E. R. James, the superintendent of the construction work, all leave Seattle, which is quite a coincident, so far as that church is concerned. Rev. Carter, however, will only be on a brief vacation and will be in his pulpit in about two weeks, but the Jameses go to New Zealand, where they will do a bit of construction work before sailing for South America. Dr. F. N. Bundy of East St. Louis riot fame is headed for Seattle on a lecture tour, not for pelf, but to place the part he played in that now historic riot properly before the people of the United States. He will lecture from the pulpit of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church next Thursday evening September 23rd at 8 o'clock p.m., and the entire community is invited to be present. Much has been read about that now bloody holacust, in which untold numbers of colored persons lost their lives, and the part Dr. Bundy played in the defence of the colored citizens and his subsequent arrest, conviction and temporary release from prison by the Supreme Court of Illinois, of which but few if any in Seattle have heard the facts by Dr. Bundy himself are to be told and you should be present next Thursday and hear it from him. "You and each of you." says Rev. W. D. Carter, "are welcome and the doors of the church will be thrown open to the public without cost or price." In other words Dr. Bundy charges no admission to any of his lectures. The new Mt. Zion Baptist churches should witness its first capacity house to greet Dr. Bundy, September 23rd at 8 o'clock. STOLEN FROM THIEVES Harry Carey, the movie star, has a ranch near Los Angeles. He boasted of how he raised his own foodstuffs( cattle and hogs, but added "even at that it's not on what you could call a really independent, self-supporting basis." "How's that?" asked his friend. "Well," said Harry, "I still have to buy my gasoline in town, and so far I haven't been able to raise any silk shirts for my gang to wear on Sunday." A farmer was the father of twelve children, all of whom had been rocked in the same cradle by the same great toe. He was rocking the newest arrival one night when his wife remarked: "John, that cradle is nearly worn out; it's so rickety that I'm afraid it will fall to pieces." "It's about used up," replied her husband. Then, handing her $10, he added: "The next time you go to town get a new one, a good one, one that will last." Frederick was sitting on the curb, crying, when Billy came along and asked him what was the matter. "Oh, I feel so bad 'cause Major's dead—my nice old collie!" sobbed Frederick. "Shucks!" said Billy. "My grandmother's been dead a week, and you don't catch me crying." Frederick gave his eyes and nose a swipe with his hand, and, looking up at Billy, sobbed, despairingly: "Yes, but you didn't raise your grandmother from a pup." Leaning against the fence of a cottage garden stood a diminutive urchin, sobbing as though his heart was dangerously near the breaking point. A benevolent old man approached him. "What is the matter, my child?" he inquired soothingly. The youth only roared the louder. "My father," he howled, "has been beatin' me." "Come, come!" said the old man, "you musn't cry like that! All fathers have to beat their boys at times. You must cheer up and forget all about it." Then the small boy looked at him with a scornful glare. "Ah!" he said slowly. "I might forget it if my father was an ordinary sort o' man; but"—and here tears burst forth once more—"he plays the big drum in a brass band." Rex Beach was motoring through northern Minnesota. He admits that he was aware that the roads in that part of the state were not traveled over much and wasn't looking for any boulevards de luxe, but just the same he began to have misgivings when the road plunged into a swamp where they had to lower the top to get beneath the bows of the tamaracks. "Do many cars travel this road?" asked Beach of some children who happened along. "Oh, yes sir," they chorused. "Lots of 'em. One came last year, and one this year, and now you're here." A correspondent of the New York Sun sent in the following translation of a Chinese rejection slip, used in returning would-be contributions: "We have read thy manuscript with infinite delight. Never before have we reveled in such a masterpiece. If we printed it the authorities would ordain us to take it for a model, and henceforth never print anything inferior to it. As it would be impossible to find its equal within ten thousand years, we are compelled, though shaken with sorrow, to return your divine manuscript, and for doing so we beg one thousand pardons." ```markdown ``` 9 See What's Here 25 Steam Heated Apartments Ready to Occupy Since last Saturday twenty-five steam-heated, furnished apartments have been put on the market for immediate disposal, and, first come first served. The apart. ments were designed for small families and are therefore quite cosy and nice. Each is an outside one with lots of light and air. They are ready for immediate use and the winter fires have already been lighted. The apartments have the best car service in the city and is in moderate walking distance of the two railroad depots, and will therefore make a good home for railroad men, The rents for these apartments vary from $27.50 to $35.00, which includes plenty of winter heat, hot and cold water and well-kept halls, baths, lavatories and laundry trays. A first class man and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Jamison, are in charge of the whole and if you desire to be comfortable and happy for the winter they will help you to be.

French pirates began to frequent the siland in the seven- teenth century and in 1663 the French an- nexed the eastern part and since then the island has been divided into Spanish and French halves, the former known as Santo Domingo and the latter as Haiti. African slaves were introduced and for a while cruelty, murder and desperate revolts took place all over the island. Later. in Haiti, a more liberal poliey en- couraged trade; war was over and capital and slaves poured in. Sugar, coffee, choco- late, indigo, dyes, and spices were raised. There were large numbers of mulattoes, many of whom were educated in France, and many masters married Negro women who had inherited large properties, just as in the United States today white men are marrying eagerly the landed Indian women in the West. When white immigration in- creased in 1 749, however, prejudice arose against these mulattoes and severe laws were passed depriving them of civil rights, entrance into the professions, and the right to hold office: severe edicts were enforced as to clothing, names, and social intercourse. Finally, after 1777, mulattoes were forbid- den to come to France, When the French Revolution broke out. the Haitians managed to send two dele- gates to Paris. Nevertheless the planters maintained the upper hand, and one of the colored delegates, Oge, on returning, start- ed a small rebellion, He and his com- panions were killed with great brutality. This led the French government to grant full civil rights to free Negroes. Imme- diately planters and free Negroes flew to arms against each other and then, sud- dently, August 22, 1791, the black slaves, of whom there were four hundred and fifty- two thousand, arose in revolt to help the free Negroes. For many years runaway slaves had hid- den in’ the mountains under their own chiefs. One of the earliest of these chiefs was Polydor, in 1724, who was succeeded hy Maeandal. The great chief of these runaways or ‘‘Maroons’”’ at the time of the slave revolt was Jean Francois, who was soon succeeded by Biassou. Pierre Dominie Toussaint, known as Toussaint L’Ouverture, joined these Ma- roon bands, where he was called ‘‘the doc- tor of the armies of the king,’’ and soon became chief aid to Jean Francois and Biassou. Upon their deaths Toussaint rose to the chief command. He acquired com- plete control over the blacks, not only in military matters, but in polities and social organization; “the soldiers regarded him as a superior being, and the farmers pros- trated themselves before him. Dessalines did not dare to look in his face, and all the world trembled before his generals.’’ The revolt once started, blaeks and mulattoes murdered whites without merey and the whites retailiated. Commissioners were sent from France, who asked simply civil rights for freemen, and not emanci- pation, Indeed that was all that Toussaint himself had as yet demanded. The planters intrigued with the British and this, to- gether with the beheading of the king (an impious act in the eyes of Negroes), in- duced Toussaint to join the Spaniards. In 1793 British troops were landed and the French commissioners in desperation de- clared the slaves emancipated. This at once won back Toussaint from the Span- iards. He became supreme in the north, while Rigaud. leader of the mulattoes, held a constitution under which Haiti was to be a self-governing colony; all men were equal before the law, and trade was practically free. Toussaint was to be president for life, with the power to name his successor. Napoleon Bonaparte, master of France, had at this time dreams of a great Ameri- can empire, and replied to Toussaint’s new government by sending twenty-five thousand men under his brother-in-law to subdue the presumptuous Negroes, as a preliminary step to his occupation and development of the Mississippi valley. Fierce fighting and yellow fever decimated the French, but matters went hard with the Negroes, too, and Toussaint finally offered to yield. He was courteously received with military honors and then, as soon as_ possible, treacherously seized, bound, and sent to France. He was imprisoned at Fort Joux and died, perhaps of poison, after studied humiliations, April 7, 1803. Thus perished the greatest of American Negroes and one of the great men of all time, at the age of fifty-six. A French planter said, ‘‘God in his terrestial globe did not commune with a purer spirit.’’ The treacherous killing of Toussaint did not conquer Haiti. In 1802 and 1803 some forty thousand French soldiers died of war and fever. A new colored leader, Dessa- lines, arose and all the eight thousand re- maining French surrendered to the blockad- ing British fleet. iH Thus in 1801 Haiti became a free and independent nation; but the inhabitants wee, it must be remembred, chiefly illiterate slaves without capital or experience. They began a long struggle to secure their in- dependnee and achieve prosperity. Des- salines became the first national leader and was succeeded in 1806 by Petion and Chris- tophe. The latter had been among the Haitian soldiers who helped the Americans against the British at the siege of Savan- nah, while the former was a staunch and effective ally of the South American revo- lutionists. Petion died in 1818 and. Chris- tophe the following year. They were suc- ceeded by Boyer who became ruler not only of Haiti but of Santo Domingo from 1822 to 1843. He gained recognition for Haiti from France, United States and Great Britain and arranged a concardat with the Pope. He finally resigned in 1843. The subsequent history of Haiti since 1843 has been the struggle of a small di- vided country to maintain political inde- pendence. The rich resources of the coun- try called for foreign capital, but outside capital meant’ political influence from abroad, which the little nation rightly feared, Within, the old antagonism of the freedman and the slave settled into a color line between the mulatto and the black, which for a time meant the difference be- tween educated liberalism and reactionary ignorance. This difference has largely dis- appeared, but some vestiges of the color line remain. The result has been reaction and savagery under Soulouque, Dominique, and Nord Alexis, and deciedd advance under presdients like Nissage-Saget, Solomon, Le- gitime, an Hyppolite. In political life Haiti is still in the six- teenth century; but in economic life, she has succeeded in placing on their own little farms the happiest and most contented peasantry in the world, after raising them from a veritable hell of slavery. If modern capitalistic greed can be restrained from interference until the best elements of Haiti secure permanent political leadership the triumph of the nation will be complete— The Crisis.
