The weak have always been the prey of the strong, and this "dog eat dog". spirit is as active in civilized man today as it was in the primitive man of the dark ages. Every war is fought for supremacy and for the preservation of racial identity. It is not surprising, therefore, to find Americans—themselves an admixture of every racial group—enacting laws designed to prohibit immigration of what is termed "undesirables." Under this head, in the estimation of many, come the Japanese. Senator Phelan, Democrat from California, proposed in a resolution a constitutional amendment denying citizenship to all Japanese born on American soil. Had the amendment been adopted, only persons "whose parents are white, Africans, American Indians, or their descendants, and all persons naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" would be eligible for citizenship. Much has been heard from California antagonistic to the little yellow islanders, and the whole country has had to bear the brunt of a localized slight to Japan. While it is true that we want and encourage only peoples who can and will lose their identity and emerge from our melting pot red blooded Americans, is it the part of good judgment to make enemies of a group powerful from every point of view save numbers? The Japanese are not good mixers. They remain separate and distinct from every group in every country. But their record hasn't proven that they are troublesome or a disturbing element in any community. They are not bolshevists, dynamiters or followers of the red flag. Senator Phelan said: "In a short time the Japanese will own all the best lands in California unless restrained. It is necessary, therefore, to deny citizenship to Japanese born on our soil and discourage their presence, thus preventing race conflicts and the saving of the white population from deterioration." In the last analysis we find ourselves right back to the old scarecrow miscegenation—the blue blood coursing through the veins of the Caucasian must not be contaminated with black, brown or yellow. Just why at this late day this action becomes imperative is hard to fathom. There seems to be little likelihood of the Japanese or the Chinese intermarrying with the whites; they are too clannish, for one thing, and believe themselves superior, for another. The Japanese will not only tell you he is the equal of any man, but in many instances will attempt to prove he is superior; so to him a wedlock out of his racial group detracts rather than adds to his standing. In the dark races of the world there are millions upon millions—only an estimate can be made of the number, perhaps ten times as many as there are Caucasians. History tells us they have had their rise and fall, and all indications point to a return of their supremacy, the Japanese being the advance guard. If these people, "unless restrained, will soon own all the best lands in California," at whose door does the fault lie? Why not gobble up the best ourselves and not go to sleep on the job, as we are apparently doing? Enterprise is commendable in us and deplorable in the other fellow. If it can be shown the Japanese or any foreign government is planting their subjects within our domains or in territory adjacent, it is our duty and we have a perfect right to object to their presence and use every lawful means to defeat thir purpose. But if the question resolves itself into one of color alone, then we are not justified in taking such drastic measures. Senator Phelan and other California men of national repute may have something up their sleeves that would justify their complaint against these Mikadoites; if so, every loyal American will stand with them shoulder to shoulder. If race prejudice played a less prominent part in the schemes of the white American the motive prompting their actions would never be questioned.—Chicago Defender. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS "Are women people" has been asked. No indeed they are just women. Russia Wants Peace, is a headline. Well if war continues much longer the Russians will get hell, if that is any peace for them. It took Jack Johnson more than six years to go from Chicago to the Leavenworth prison, but he got there right side up with care. Enough money might keep Gottstein out of prison until he dies of old age. Work a little harder and run a little faster and try it Bill. The present rainy spell is great for ducks, but Lamping, French and Mike Carrigan are "dead ducks," hence they are unable to enjoy it. May perhaps the cement trust is not behind the Carlyon road bill, but from the effort it is putting forth for its passage one would suspect it. Entirely too much booze is being brought into Seattle for the officers of the dry squads to convince the public that they are on the square and in the open. Women have been frequently charged with being in love, but few if any have ever been found guilty of the act at least by a jury of their male peers. In Seattle gambling, it is claimed, is a thing of the past—honest to God—the former gamblers have absolutely reformed and all of them doing an "on the square and in the open" business—bootleggin'. It transpires that Wee-Wee got Coyled about the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor a few days ago and now even the robins as they leave for the South are heard to say to each other Wee-Wee. Ninety per cent of the residents of King County are either in the moonshine game or are the recipients of those that ar in it," said a city detective. If such be true it would seem that the sheriff and his deputies are not doing their duty, their whole duty, so help us God. The moonshine business can be broken up and it should be or the officers of the law be punished for not doing so. Vol. 5. No.15 Was there any significance in the state of Maine going 60,000 Republican and the women in the Maine election casting 60,000 votes? The question is, did the men break even on the Republican and Democratic tickets and the women gave a solid vote for the G. O. P.? "In India the mother has the undisputed right to select the name of the new baby," says an exchange. She may not have the undisputed right in the United States, but, "believe me," the name she selects for the new kid goes even through its dad's protests and "wont have it so." Two years after William Gottstein was convicted of murder in the King County courts he is ordered to the penitentiary, but, if in the meantime he has made money enough it may be four years more before he actually goes, if he goes at all. All this delay is due to too much law and too much lawyer. From now on the Democratic party can continue its Solid South, but it will have little or nothing to say in National affairs as the colored vote will keep the North solidly Republican. The Democrats will have to give the colored man an equal break in the South if they wish to ever have a look in the White House. Despite the fact the ancestors of the colored folks of this country came from Africa, which is to them "faterland," yet, in our opinion, it will be a cold day even in Central Africa before their progeny will return thither in any great numbers to establish a returned to home government. Sugar dropped to fifteen cents the other day, but the trusts hollered and the trusts being all powerful, the price will doubtless get a two cen per pound boost in a few days more. The trusts will stand for just so much monkey work and then it gets in and reads the riot act to their official hirelings. At the San Francisco Democratic Convention John Barleycorn was considered a good catch, but though he is well hooked and ready to be landed at any moment yet Jim Cox is hesitating and is not near so anxious to land his prey as he was in July, but the weather was hotter then than it is now and a few beers made the bunch see double. From Maine to California is no longer the longest stretch of the United States, but from Maine to Washington—from West Twoddy Head, Maine, to Cape Alva, Washington. Speaking about the breadth of the country brings out the following figures concerning Uncle Sam's domain. It has been recently estimated that it contains 15,000,000 square miles. Few states in this union of states have a greater amount of virgin forest than has the state of Washington, but amid all its acres of forest it is practically devoid of nut bearing trees or any form of edible berry bearing trees, hence the children of the state can but read about the pleasures children in other states enjoy gathering nuts and berries in the fall season. Every month in the year has one or more notable historic events pertaining to the life and times of the United States. The most notable historic event in the month of September is the twenty-second day of the month, on which day President Abraham Lincoln emancipated the four million slaves that were held in bondage prior to the year of our Lord 1863. ```markdown ``` Ae De WA ih { OM CMY Rie " Kor Bron es A e rs EERE ERT ae Ref ty NGL Gee ith ae, 4 bs Bee ; Roplaiety bar ae bY gi Ce Uae i seu 4 mee wey DLS te ae i Bee Se i oy a 4 Ed Sh. ain ee se e c, i ieeiaeess, oe 7 ne > ies a : Oe Oe ee ihe 4 S z CLAUDE C.

We have always been taught that there are good and bad among all classes and in all things, but the Record would have us understand that that doctrine is absolutely false and that the union label is the only elixer of life. Once upon a time one could pass along the Seattle waterfront and observe tons of fine red salmon which the fishermen brought in during the fall season for disposal to the inhabitants, but such things are to be seen no more and the old timers are wonder- ing if the salmon are no longer numerous in Puget Sound or do the fishermen no longer find it profitable to sell them first handed. Should the voters of the state of Wash- ington adopt the Carlyon Bill and the road work pushed vigorously Washington state would be the possessor of some of the most scenic highways the world has ever seen, which doubtless would attract automobiles from all states of the Union (southern states not included) and millions of dollars would he left in the state annually by such tourists, It occurs to us that Ira Bronson really helittled himself in explaining to the edi- torial swill barrel of the Northwest either his or I. B. Jones’ connection with that Japanese bank, We have our suspicions that the leading spirit of the Japanese bank is a million times more the real man than the editor of the Star and the publie real- izing that demanded no explanation as to why Jones held stock therein. A young lawyer had & goreign client in police court the other day. It looked rather black for the foreigner and the youthful at- torney fairly outdid himself in trying to convince the magistrate that his client was innocent of the charge brought. The attor- ney dwelt on the other’s ignorance of Amer- ican customs, his straightforward story, and upon other details sufficient to extend the talk fully fifteen minutes. His client was acquitted. In congratulating the freed man the lawyer held out his hand in an absent but rather suggestive manner. The client grasped it firmly. ‘‘Eet was verra fine noise you mak’,’’ he said. ‘Mocha thanks. Goo’-by.”’ “Ts this—ean it be love?’’ sighed Ange- bella, as she sat on a seat in the park with MacCuthbert’s arm around her waist and his soft voice whispering fondly in her ear. Oh, it was lovely! ‘It is, my darling,’ MacCuthbert assured her. ‘‘But tell me, sweet one, how do you feel?’’ ‘‘T feel,’’ cooed the lady ‘‘as though my heart would leap from my throbbing breast! My parched throat contracets and then expands, while my breath come in quick, choking sobs.’’ There was a sudden rustle in the bushes behind them as a sleeping tramp crawled forth and glowered at them, ‘‘T’d take something for it, miss,’’ he growled. ‘‘That ain't love you’ve got; it’s hiccups.’ The enthusiastic English literary light had consented to deliver a lecture in a small vil- lage club on Burns. For weeks beforehand the billboards were covered with announce- ments, and when the appointed night came the hall was full to overflowing. Hep began with ‘‘The Cotter’s Saturday Night.’’ ‘Tam O’Shanter,’’ and ‘The Jolly Beggars,’’ and was proceeding with ‘‘John Anderson when there came an interruption from the back of the hall, ‘What is it, my man?’ inquired the lecturer. ‘When are you goin’ to give us a few hints on burns?’’ came the reply. “Tlints?’’ replied the puzled lecturer. ‘‘Yes, hints,’’ growled the man. ‘‘T paid three pence to come in ’cos you was supposed to know all about burns, an’ there you stand spoutin’ poitry like a parrot, while my missus, who’s upset a saucepan o’ boilin’ water on ’er foot, is waitin’ to hear whether she’d better souse it wi’ oil or shake the flour dredger over it.’’ Amid all of the turmoil over candidates for public office in King County the name of Claude C. Ramsay stands out in bold relief and at the head of the entire list. He was without opposition in the late primary election and his opposition in the coming general election will be of such a pacific nature that he will not recognize in it any opposition at all, and all this is so because Mr. Ramsay has conducted his official career on the principle of ‘‘a public office is a publie trust’? and both the taxpayers and the non-taxpayers have rights that even a publie official should respect. As county commissioner he has served no specific class over and above all others, but he has served faithfully and well all classes by doing those things that redounded to the best interest of the common weal without regard to color, erede or condition. No class of citizens have any specifie criticism of the official acts of Claude C. Ramsay and this is not said as a political boost, but simply stating the facts as the writer has met them from time to time. His recent advocacy of busi- nessizing the county and city administra- tions with the view of not only cutting down the running expenses of both, but to obviate duplications and prevent both governments from being taken advantage of by unscru- pulous persons, has met the general approv- al of the citizens of the county so fully that he will be overwhelmingly re-elected in the coming November election, and thereby be given carte blane instruction to do all with- in his power to perfect his ideas along that line Mr. Ramsay is‘no larger today, even in his own opinion, than he was four years ago when he first ran for county commis- sioner and during the four years he has sat as chairman of the board he has been just as approachable by the poorest person in the county as the richest, which has made of him the most politically popular man in the county. Here is to hoping he will be unanimously re-elected. Let’s all join hands and elect Thomas Dob- son county commissioner, who has served the county good and well for the past two years, and if re-elected will continue to do so. Mr. Dobson has worked in_ perfect harmony with Commissioner Ramsay, of whom have endeavored to give the county the best they have in their shops. Mr. Dobson resides in Renton—the third commissioner’s district, but in the general election he is voted for all over the county. In the late primary election he outstripped all of his competitors and got as many votes as the bunch of them and because the voters of his district know the worth of the man and they know that by having come in contact with him so let the voters in the other districts of the county be guided by those of his immediate district and give him a no less decisive vote in November than that he got in September. THE PASSING THRONG I read in one of the daily papers a report from Washington City D. C. to the effect that Philip Tworoger was one of a committee which waited upon General Palmer to protest against the Japanese leasing lands in the United States, on the ground that their owning lands was a menace to the white folks of the country, all of which may be true, but one would hardly have expected such from Tworoger, for, be it remembered, he is racially identified with the Jews, yea verily, he is a full fledged Jew, and has been from time to time the recipient of a good many hard knocks on account of his nationality. No class of people in this or any other country, where they are found, have been subjected to a greater amount of racial persecution than the Jews and yet Tworoger because he personally has been able to escape a good deal of it forgets the woes of his brethern and joins hands with the Anglo-Saxon and helps to beat down another class of human beings alike proscribed as the Jew. Whether right or wrong a proscribed class should be slow in lending aid to a dominant class among which it lives to proscribe another class seeking like accommodations. In other words I would have little or no respect for a colored person, who would help the Anglo-Saxons of this country proscribe either a Jew or a Japanese. However Tworoger impresses me as being an old fashioned damphool, which to me fully explains his recent committee work in opposition to the Japanese *** Once upon a time, when I lived on Capitol Hill one of the members of my family was sick of diptheria and in order for me to continue to do down town business I permitted myself to be quaranteened from home, and being in good financial circumstances I staid at one of the leading hotels of the city. After I had been there for nearly a week I took a tumble to myself and discovered that while in my room I made more noise getting ready to go to bed, getting up every morning and in other ways than any other guest on the floor where my room was located, if not more than all the others together. No one said anything to me about my noise except my own conscience, but it spoke to me so loudly and so disapprovingly that the other three weeks I staid at the hotel I was noiseless in my room. Making loud noises seems to be a weakness of the colored family when together whether in the street or in the house, much of which is rseponsible for them being barred from places where persons are entertained, who practice subduedness in voice and actions. Disturbing others, however much it may please you, should be religiously avoided by every one of good breeding. I am told John H. Ryan of Tacoma has been nominated for the legislature in the district in which he resides and regardless of whom is running against him, and regardless of the ticket on which he is running, I truly hope he will be elected. Since 1900 he has attended every session of the Washington lgislature and issued a manual of that body, which has made him thoroughly conversant with the workings of a legislature, and I think he would make a very useful member. If Mr. Ryan should be elected he would not be the first near colored man that had sat as a member of a Washington legislature for John Bush of Thurston County was a member of the first state legislature and technically speaking I think he was a bit nearer the colored man than is Ryan, but Bush tried to hide his colored man identity while Ryan boasts of his. If nominated it was on the Farmer-Labor party as he has been an advocate of the Triple Alliance propaganda since its birth, but for aye that Ryan is a clever old scout and as said about would make a useful member if elected. *** Last Wednesday was the 22nd of September, the anniversary of the signing of the emancipation act issued by the immortal Abraham Lincoln, and I had hoped some of the big guns among the colored colony of Seattle would interest themselves in holding a public meeting commemorating the fact, but nary a meeting and on that evening I said to myself, How foolish of me to think that the big guns among the colored colony of today would belittle themselves by admitting in public they were even the progeny of those chattels emancipated by one Abe Lincoln as a war necessity. Of course the colored persons who were actually emancipated are now looked upon as old fossils and should have been Oslerized long ere this that the children of the present big guns could not be personally reminded of the unfortunate prediction of their ancestry. Fifty years of freedom have wrought considerable changes in the colored folk of this country and may perhaps after all its depressing to the young of today to be reminded of the condition of their immediate ancestry, but I seriously doubt the wisdom of such conclusions. * * * Last Thursday evening I listened for two hours to Dr. Leroy N. Bundy tell his story about the East St. Louis riot and the part he played in it, and the subsequent court results thereof so far as he is concerned, and I thought to myself, does history or folk lore record or relate such a bloody racial tragedy as the black man has undergone at the hands of the white man in this country of modern civilization? And the answer silently came to me, no! and a thousand times no! The kidnapping of multiplied thousands of Africans from their native heaths to bring them to America for bondage, the death and torture they underwent on the transportation ships and their subsequent brutal treatment on the plantations of the South, so revolting that white men and women rose up against their own brutality and partially emancipated them, and finally, the bloody efforts that have been put forth by the masters of this "land of the free and home of the brave" to "keep the nigger in his place,' I repeat, does either history or mythology tell of a more damnable racial tragedy? Again I wondered as I followed the details of Dr. Bundy's story, the most of which has appeared from time to time in the unbiased periodicals and magazines of this country, but never in the great metropolitan daily press as to publish the real truth about the condition of the American colored man would not be a business proposition, is it possible for civilized white men and women to be guilty of the crimes perpetrated upon the colored man of this country from time to time and again the silent answer came to me, you read it in their own papers almost daily, how can you doubt it? Then hell arose in my heart, but was as quickly quenched and I said, forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do. Dr. Bundy tells his story well and so well pleased with it were the large concourse who heard him that like magic, men, women and children rushed forward and laid on the table to help him in his final defense, some $326 and added, you have our prayers. A GREAT MUSICAL FIND England in literature may challenge the modern world and, as regards poetry, the ancient also, for among the world's greatest poets of all time Shakespeare holds at least equality of rank with Homer, Aeschylus and Sophocles, with Virgil and Plautus, and in the opinion of some students of comparative literature his name stands first But as respects music England sings low, so to speak. Italy, Germany, France, Austria, Poland and Spain and perhaps Scandinavia must have precedence of her should there be another contest of the Muses to determine honors in music. The best she has hitherto been able to assert is that she has always given a friendly hearing not only to her own native musicians but also to Handel and Mendelssohn and many others. She has been cordial and has not shown jealousy, for practically she has yielded the crown of harmony to other nations, having no great master in the art that she could enter in an international contest except, perhaps, in light opera where Gilbert and Sullivan's operettas still revisit the stage on which they held unrivalled popularity for more than a quarter of a century. England's chief name in music has hitherto been that of Henry Purcell (1658-1695), who was a great and voluminous composer, writing overtures songs and incidental music to many of the plays of Dryden, Shakespeare, Congreve and Beaumont and Fletcher, many odes on royal cantatas, sonatas, ballads, dance tunes and music generally for the theatre. An English authority calls Purcell "the greatest, perhaps the only really great musical genius England has given the world." His opera, "Dido and Aeneas," had an open air performance in Hyde Park, London, last July. Though written before he was 20, it is usually regarded as one of his finest works and its celebrated solo in the death scene of Dido, "When I am laid in earth," still has power to charm the lover of melody. hTe fact that he was buried in Westminster Abbey is sufficient to show the high appreciation Englishmen of his day had of this famous composer. Yet even Englishmen do not claim for Purcell a high place among the great composers. But now, if we may credit Dr. Terry, organist and director of music in Westminster Cathedral, another English musician whose name is scarcely known to many music lovers today deserves not only Purcell's place as the greatest of English composers and musicians but also the highest place among the world's masters of music. Dr. Terry and other experts have been exploring archives and libraries for material in regard to past musical celebrities and works of forgotten musical geniuses, and while doing so have come across in old cupboards and other out of the way places many forgotten works by Taverner. Tye, William Byrd, Thomas Tallis, Robert Whyte, Peter Philips and others, but the greatest of all these and the greatest musical genius England has produced, in the opinion of Dr. Terry, is William Byrd. His name is perhaps familiar to historical students of music, but practically unknown to the vast majority of fairly well informed musicians of today. By consulting a dictoinary of music and musicians it may be learned that William Byrd was born probably in 1538 and that he died in 1623; that he was a pupil of Thomas Tallis and that he composed the first English madrigal and was a famous composer of music for the virginals, the English equivalent of the spinet. In the Chapel Royal Cheque Book he is referred to as a "father of musicke," and at least one Englishman of his day seems to have appreciated his greatness, as Peacham in the "Compleat Gentleman" of 1622 says: "In motets and musicke of pietie and devotion, as well as for the honour of our nation as the merit of the man, I preferre above all other our Phoenix, Mr William Byrd, whom in that kind I know not whether any may equall." Capricious fame did not concur in that estimate and Byrd's name seems to have been almost forgotten except by those who refer to Grove's dictionary and other works on the history of music. Yet here is what Dr. Terry, himself an accomplished musician and a good judge, is reported in a London paper as saying of William Byrd: "The next generation will probably regard him with the veneration given to Shakespeare. In my opinion Byrd is as great in music as is Shakespear in literature." To discover that a composer who died three centuries ago is entitled to be called the Shakespeare of music is certainly a wonderful find and musicians will await with more than ordinary interest the evidence in the shape of music scores which Dr. Terry and his colaborers will present. As Byrd's music upon which this high estimate is based is written in a notation now obsolete it has been a great labor, but presumably one of love, for Dr. Terry and his associates to give it a modern setting. Dr. Terry assures us that Byrd's music is not simply for the antiquarian but that it is all music of current interest and "of a very --- --- high quality, both technically and artistically." If Dr. Terry and his codiscoverers have not been carried away by finding forgotten but really great music where they had been expecting to unearth only ordinary compositions, music will have a parallel to literature as respects the fickleness of fame in passing by a great genius who seems to have been even more careles sof his fame than Shakespeare. In the meantime the general public as well as musicians must wait with what patience they can for the proofs of such claims as have been put forth as to this newly discovered Shakespeare of music. PURELY PERSONAL Mr. O. M. Winston, president of the Seattle Branch of the N. A. A. C.

"Well—er—sometimes when I couldn't make out his abominable scrawl I would glance over them a second time." "Indeed!" said the other maiden, "and was that all?" "Except sometimes at night, I would take them from under my pillow and read them just to kill time." "And that was the end?" "Yes," was the reply; "only on rainy days I used to look over them again just to see how silly a man --- Register and Vote In order to enjoy life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, the Republican Party must be restored to power, with a Republican President, Senate and House of Representatives.
