University of Washington's Stevens Debating Club vs. the Badger State Debating Club Contest for Superiority Won by the Latter—Some Horrible Accidents Reported Last Week. VOL. VI NO. 41 NEWS NOTES OF Items of Interest Conc Taken From the University of Washington's Badger State Debating Won by the Latter—Som Last Week. A large and enthusiastic audience appeared in Denny Hall at the University on last Friday evening and greeted the rival debating teams of the Stevens and Badger debating clubs. Before the debate commenced the Stevens men entered provided with their colors and horns, which they often used, and took their seats on the left side of the hall. They were soon followed by the Badgers whose emblem was a red flag, and who sat together on the right of the hall. Each club was generous in its applause as its representatives appeared. Prof. Priest was the presiding officer of the evening and H.L. Reese and James Kellog were chosen as time keepers by the Stevens and Badger clubs respectively. The question debated was: Resolved, "That combinations in restraint of trade should be restricted by National law so as to promote competition". Messrs, E. W. Schroder, E. J. Wright were the Stevens team and they had the affirmative of the question. They dealt chiefly with the power of the trusts to regulate the supply and fix the price; they also laid much stress upon the privileges conferred by national law upon trusts. Such as: the tariff, sole right to inventions and railway discriminations in their favor. These, they claimed would enable trusts and combines to retain their present form regardless of adverse legislation. The affirmative cited a number of authorities to establish the fact that while in a few instances prices had been lowered, due to the decreased cost of production, yet in the vast majority of cases prices had been raised after the formation of the trusts and combines. They believed that state law was inefficient and proposed as a remedy that a Federal bureau should be established with the sole right to charter corporations and that misrepresentation on the part of such corporations should be made criminal. Each one of the speakers received the close attention of the audience throughout. Messrs. Dan Millette, Will H. Lanbe and John Hanson were the Badger men and argued the negative side of the question. They thought that the trust form of industry was due to the use of machinery in production, and being the natural evolution of modern capitalism could not be remedied by any law. Then they laid much weight on the savings effected by the concentrated form of production. These they detailed to be saving in management, advertising and the elimination of middle men. They also cited a number of instances in which the price had been reduced after the trust had been formed. The judges, who were Dr. Graves, Dr. Symonds and Fred Rice Rowell, gave the decision to the negative. Mr. Aubrey Levy rendered one of his own compositions on the violin and was encored the third time. Miss Stephens also gave an excellent vocal solo which was well received by the audience. Miss Stephens is a new student and surely destined to shine at the University of Washington. So many hold-ups have lately infested the old university grounds that the North hall boys are obliged to go through the grounds armed when late in the evening. The oratorical association has changed the date of the local contest from March 30 to April 12, and has decided to give the Seniors three representatives, the Juniors two, Sophomores one, Freshmen one and the Law school one. There is very little opposition to this arrangement. Cle-Elum, a mountain town on the Northern Pacific, is having a most wonderful building boom at present which makes it the liveliest town between Seattle and Spokane. A Japanese, said to be effected with leprosy, is running at large between Cle-Elum and Buckley and the natives thereabouts do not rest very easy, less the Jap get too close to them or their little ones. Rooms for those desiring to be present at the Ellensburg Republican convention are already being asked for, and it begins to look as though it will make the good ladies of Ellensburg hustle to find quilts enough to cover the delegates during their short stay there. William Jennings Bryan, wires Senator George Turner, will speak at various points in the state in the very near future. Spokane, Walla Walla, Tacoma, Seattle and other places in the state are to hear the silver tongued orator. He closes in Seattle April 2nd, the day of the Republican county convention. State Senator S. D. Rinehart of Whatcom died at his home last week. He has been a resident of Washington since 1852. He was born in Kentucky in 1826. It was Senator Rinehart who objected to the use of prayer for the opening of the sessions of the senate, which objection was promptly voted down by his fellow members. He has a son who is now mayor of Olympia. The Olympia city council has passed a stringent ordinance against cows and poultry running at large on the streets. Allen Brothers of the Pullman Herald, who pretended to want to see Mayor Humes elected United States senator, are jubilant over his re-election. The Chelan Herald thinks that the Northwest will have the heaviest emigration the coming season that it has ever as yet had and the advance guard is already arriving. Claud Bullock, a well known young man about Wenachee, accidentally shot himself one day last week and died from the effects. John Moscow was run down by a Great Northern train near Wenachee and terribly multilated. He may recover. Marysville postoffice did more business during the month of February than it has ever done before in the history of the city. It bids fair to soon become a presidential office. Snohomish county citizens want a county fair, but the county commissioners are not inclined to vote an appropriation to help the matter out, which does not meet public approval there a little bit. The number of men employed in the various logging camps along the Puget Sound coast will reach up into the thousands and all of them are earning splendid salaries. The lumbering business is the means of much money being put in circulation in this section of the country. Small pox continues to make its appearance in the smaller towns in the state, the latest to report new case is Cosmopolis. This loathsome disease has gotten pretty well spread this winter. Three children of Charles Wengener near Puget City in Thurston county were burned to death Saturday night a week ago. The mother and the oldest daughter went to Puget City to attend a dance Saturday evening and while away the house took fire and burned to the ground and the little tots were consumed while they slept. Adams county has never had a state senator in the legislature. The county is attached to Walla Walla county and the politicians there have managed to shut Adams out in every instance. She is now asking for a senator. Edgar H. Neve, an employee of the Snoqualmie Power Company, was killed one day last week while repairing the wires along the line near Auburn, and now the citizens of that city are up and in arms against the company and want it wiped off the face of the earth. and less personal abuse might make a wonderful improvement in their papers. Miss Lulu Gordon of St. Paul has passed an examination to do barbering in the state of Minnesota. She is the first woman of her race and the first of any other race to take the examination and pass. She has opened up a shop in St. Paul and has a lucrative trade. Extensive preparations are being made by most of the church folk throughout the country for the general conferences that each of the two leading A. M. E church organizations will hold in The Great Northern has 250 men at work on the Everett improvements and is pushing things as rapidly as possible. This force is to be increased at least 100 men at an early date and that number to be further increased from time to time. The Clark-Nickerson mill at Everett is being pushed to completion at a rapid rate, so reports the News of that city. Ex-County Commissioner John Krieschal of Snohomish county has no doubts but that the electric road between Snoqualmie and Everett will soon be constructed and in operation. The Great Sunny Side property, which was founded by Paul Shultzie, who afterwards committed suicide, perhaps, the results of financial failure, recently sold for $335,000 and a new company will be organized to handle it on a paying basis. This property comprises some of the finest irrigated lands in the state and have had the very best success. From a tiny item, hidden away on the "classified ad" page of last Sunday's Spokesman-Review, I learn that Levi Ankeny has purchased the Walla Walla Union that D. B. Crocker Mr. Ankeny's manager, that to have charge of it and that Edgar B. Piper is to be the new managing editor; some of which I believe, and some of which is open to reasonable doubt. It is certain that Mr. Ankeny has bought the Union. The deal has been pending for some time and is understood to have gone through with $8000 as a consideration. Mr. Crocker will probably look after the paper, but it is doubtful if he intends to give his whole time to it. The rumor-that Mr. Piper is to go to Walla Walla does not appear worthy of credence, for it is difficult to believe that a man with such an exalted opinion of his own ability would be willing to confine his operations to so small a field.—Spokane Outburst Afro-American Sparks. Booker T. Washington is refused hotel accommodations in an Indiana town on account of his color; Sergeant McPherson, a Spanish-American war veteran, was dismissed from a jury on which he had been sworn in Salt Lake City, because the other eleven jurymen refused to sit with him on account of his color and an Alabama family has been murdered by the whites because the man, who happened to be colored was charged with committing some minor offense against the law. This seems to be the age of anti-Negrodom instead of anti-imperialism. In a Republican convention held in Louisiana two white and two black men were elected as delegates to the National convention, which is to be held in Philadelphia. Editor W. Calvin Chase, one of the best known colored politicians about Washington City, will be one of the two delegates that will represent the District of Columbia in the National Republican convention at Philadelphia. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, the noted Negro poet, who has been living in Denver for the past six months for his health has returned East with his family and will again take up his poetical work. Negroes editing papers exclusively for their race in the East have broken loose in a tirade of billingsgate against each other, which to say the least is extremely nauseating to persons who have had one day's training in good breeding. More readable news and less personal abuse might make a wonderful improvement in their papers. Miss Lulu Gordon of St. Paul has passed an examination to do barbering in the state of Minnesota. She is the first woman of her race and the first of any other race to take the examination and pass. She has opened up a shop in St. Paul and has a lucrative trade. Extensive preparations are being made by most of the church folk throughout the country for the general conferences that each of the two leading A. M. E. church organizations will hold in May. A bill has passed the United States senate donating to the state normal school at Normal, Alabama for colored folk 25,000 acres of government land. This school is presided over by Prof. W. H. Council, who is doing almost as much for the colored youth of the South as the famous Booker T. Washington. The Negro Republicans in Greater New York have endorsed Timothy L. Woodruff of that state for the vice-presidency, as a running mate for President William McKinley. Notices of this are being sent all over the country, doubtless at the expense of Mr. Woodruff for political capitol. Henry Shepherd, who was appointed official photographer for the Negroes at the Paris exposition, has come to a sudden end. He began to preach to the colored folk that in case the United States engaged in war with a foreign power it would be their duty to take up arms against their home government. He was speedily decapitated for his revolutionary utterances. A number of the Eastern cities held what is called a Fred Douglas Day, on which memorial exercises commemorative of the Great Douglas were the order. March 8th was the day observed. R. C. Benjamin, editor of the Standard of Frankfort, Ky., is being tried at that point for criminal libel. It is claimed that he slandered through the columns of his paper a local colored preacher and a woman of easy virtue about the city. Industrial schools for Negroes in the South are becoming so numerous and doing so much good that the Caucasians are becoming alarmed less the educated Negroes will drive the "poor white boy" to the positions of hewers of wood and drawers of water, where but three decades ago the Negro himself was. The Democratic candidate for governor of Alabama is said to be in favor of abolishing all industrial schools for Negroes, but in this he has not many supporters even among Alabamians who are in favor of Negro disfranchisement. One of the principal things that will be much discussed, and, perhaps, acted on in this city within the present summer will be the improvements of the various streets of the city. There is talk of paving Madison street, Seventh avenue, Third Avenue and replanking many of the outlying streets, all of which will bear heavily on the tax payers. Just how to do this at the least expense to the tax-payers and abutting property owners is the question that will give the members of the board of public works no little amount of worry, but it will have to be done and done soon at that and the sooner it is arranged for the better. The "nectie social" given by the ladies of the Mt. Zion church was the most extensively attended church social of its kind that Seattle has witnessed for some time. It was a pleasing as well as a successful entertainment and all who attended would not object to having it repeated. The Mt. Zion Baptist church is progressing very nicely. Rev. Prince and the members of his congregation are endeavoring to raise money enough to build a church. Mrs. C. A. Lucas of Portland is visiting in the city this week.

Randolph Beaumont is the name of a Seattle suicide, who hails from Spokane. Beaumont is said to have tired of living because "things quit coming his way." He took the morphine route. ern portion of the state this week in connection with the business of the Puget Mill company and will perhaps be out of the city for a week and better. Hon. A. G. McBride, who has been appointed by the City. John Wood, said to be one of the most noted United States timber land crooks that ever operated in this section of the country, is now in the county jail awaiting trial before the U.S. court for subnation. He had $2900 on his person, when arrested, which he filleted from the unsuspecting land and home hunter. The Republicans of King county will hold a county convention at Armory Hall Monday, April 2nd, for the purpose of electing delegates to the state convention, which will convene at Ellensburg April 5th. Ex-Secretary of State Allen Weir was among the numerous visitors to the city within the past week. "Seattle did nicely at her last election, but Olympia beat it out of sight last December at her municipal election, for she let but one of the Republican opposition in and that by only two votes. Seattle is certainly a hummer." The newly elected city officers will be installed into office next Monday night. As was suspected Councilman Gill has filed a contest against Alpehus Byers, who won out over him, Gill, by two votes. Candidate James Weir of the First ward also contemplates filing a contest against Councilman Navin. Apparently the city council has in mind the closing of the "joint" run by Charles W. Shomo, who is now in the county jail under a charge of murder, which was committed near his home some weeks ago. The place is said to be a most disreputable dive. A cook living on Pike street, while watching a pile driver at work on the water front, was seriously if not fatally wounded last Monday. A heavy piece of iron dropped from the driver and fell on the end of a piece of timber which flew up and hit the man in the face crushing it in a most horrible condition. The city has witnessed some daring hold ups during the past week and Mayor Humes has deemed it advisable to put on ten extra policemen and will put on more if it seems best to him and the chief. The city has acquired title to much of the property along Yesler Way where the slide has given the authorities so much trouble, and will in the future attempt to prevent further slides. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Graham, have returned from the East, whither they have been for spring goods for their millinery emporium. They report a most pleasant stay in the East. Among the well known visitors to the city this week was Hon. Scott Swetland, the Vancouver Prune Prince. "Purely on business," he shouted as soon as he got sight of THE REPUBLICAN man. Mr. Scott was for a number of years chairman of the state central committee. "Seattle is undoubtedly the greatest city in the Northwest and her citizens one and all are making it so. I have not met a man since I have been here, but what tells me business has been better with him this year than he has ever seen it before. Seattle is the place." Hon. Edward B. Palmer is making a cruise of the southwest- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 N PRICE FIVE CENTS 'S THE QUEEN CITY It In Prosperity's Race s Enterprise. and Push They See Within Her Nowhere Else, East, South or Men Here Looking Over the QUEEN CITY erity's Race e. ee Within Her East, South or looking Over the ern portion of the state this week in connection with the business of the Puget Mill company and will perhaps be out of the city for a week and better. Hon. A. G. McBride, who has been running the Douglas City News in Alaska for the past two years, is in the city preparatory to leaving for Cape York, where he has been appointed to a U. S. Commissionership job. Mc was formerly a well know resident of this city and has many friends, who, since his return, have given him the glad hand of welcome as well as congratulation. "New Orleans is a grand place and full of sights," said Will A. Steele, who has recently returned from the South, whither he went to attend the National Editorial Association, which met at New Orleans. "I was fortunate to be in the city at the time of the Mardigras and that of itself was well worth the trip. I am well pleased with my trip, but Seattle is the only genuine humming city in the world, at least in the United States. You can hear nothing all through the East but Seattle. Whether Seattle is in Washington, Oregon or the Klondike they do not seem to know, but Seattle is the whole Northwest in their minds." Why is Seattle a larger and better city than Tacoma? "That's easy." Its on account of its natural location for securing the products of Kitsap county.—Independent. Whether your conclusion be right or wrong we know your premises are absolutely correct. The Yesler Way cable line has shut down for repairs and will so remain for some three or four weeks. Leschi Park at the end of this road on Lake Washington is to be again thrown open to the public this coming season and a heavy travel is expected, hence the repairs at this time. Bicycling has been quite a rage this week in Seattle. The warm weather without rain has brought out many fine looking female bicycle "turn outs," and it is useless to add that, the men have been doing the long look act ever since. Turn where you will or may on the streets of Seattle and you will see a vast amount of improvements going on. The streets are being repaired and the buildings are being overhauled and repaired which gives everywhere and everyplace the air of exceeding prosperity. Nothing has been heard of Jim Hill's great depot proposition since the defeat of the Northern Pacific's depot plans. That Mr. Hill had nothing else in his mind but the defeat of President Mellon was quite plain to be seen and it is too bad that the citizens did not see the "nigger in the wood pile" before it was too late. In another column hereof it will be learned that there is a probability of Ted Piper, formerly of the P.I. of this city, taking editorial charge of the Walla Walla Union. Street gossipers still stick to it that the Pipers will start a new daily in Seattle. "Start a saloon," is finding many legitimate repeaters at present in Seattle. The saloon business seems to be the most profitable business that one can go into in Seattle and they are being opened weekly. "I was over a goodly portion of the state not long since and I am pleased to be able to say that most every point that I visited is in a very prosperous condition. Seattle however leads them all, came from ex-Senator Harper one day this week. --- --- The Seattle Republican Telephone, Main 305, The Republican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 612 THIRD AVENUE H. R.

If Billy Mason does not rush his sympathy resolution bill there will be no Boers to extend it to. Senator Alabama Morgan must have gotten hold of another dose of "good whiskey," which has brought on his periodical negrophobia fits. Some one, who has been making a study of "red headed" women, declare that they are to be found in all nationalities. Evils are hard to be shaken. The Wolcott wreck is but another of the many Alaska disasters that have been recorded since the wild rush began to that land of cold and gold. Miss Puget Sound Country has had her shining clothes on during the past week and the "down Easters" are charmed, delighted and enraptured at her appearance. Spokone politics seem a bit mixed this year. "Some of old "Get together" remedy should be taken by the Spokane Republicans as well as the Seattle Republicans. It would appear that the Pipers are still pulling Ankeny's leg. Now will some one rise up in meeting and state whose leg J. Howard Watson is pulling at present. Johnny Bull is in no condition so far as Oom Paulism is concerned to entertain for a single minute Kruger's advance agent Mr. Mediator, regardless of whom Mr. Mediator may be. We predict that before the next campaign is cleverly on Senator George Turner will have announced himself a "died in the wool" Southern Democrat, and just what he is without announcing it. Nome Seattle after the coming spring rush to that section of Alaska will not be very far wrong from the number of Seattleites that are now heading in that direction. In other words Nome will be Seattle No. 2. Fusion editors of the Evergreen State seem to have not received any report of the late Seattle election, which sounded the death knell to further Demo-Pop-Fusionism in this state. Such news gets to them very slowly. It is authoritively reported that the Melbourne rats have the "plague." We have no objections at all of hearing of such plagues having the "plague." Plagues having a plague is evening things up about as we like them. Senator Hepburn of Iowa is bitterly opposed to betting on prize fighting. The question now is, How much have you lost, Senator, on them, which causes this outburst of disapproval and legislative opposition? New business blocks galore seems to be in store for Seattle as soon as the rainy season is well over. Even now many new structures of vast dimensions are under construction in this city, which makes it, easy, the liveliest city on the Pacific Coast. Hon. Addison G. Foster as United States senator from Washington has not exactly moved Seattle to Tacoma, but it is no fault of his and, we do not believe, even the Tacomians are dissatisfied with the efforts that he has made in that direction. It takes an Alabama mob to do a thorough job. Having gone to an obnoxious black man's home and called him out and shot him, they afterwards returned and shot his wife, his son, and finally his daughter. This, it is to be sup. --- posed, completed his roll of immediate relatives. If he had had an ancient grandmother or a helpless grandchild both would undoubtedly have shared the same fate. Old-time chivalry is evidently at a very low ebb in Alabama.—Tacoma News. The late election in this city clearly demonstrates that all other kinds of "isms" save Republicanism in Seattle, King county and the entire state have taken the wings of the morning. Leaving Republicanism a clear field. Little Rhody held her state Republican convention last Tuesday and McKinleyism with the Philippines thrown in received a perfect ovation. Now, Sister Rhody, you listen for your brother George Washington April 5th, if you want to hear something good. "Make haste slowly," is the watch word in the United States senate on the Puerto Rican customs bill, and, this make haste slowly, comes from the leading Republicans and friends of the Administration. Alright make haste slowly, but be certain you make haste surely. From an exchange it is learned that there is "but one black man in Congress," and, it transpires that he is White. Some time ago it was told to us that the "black man" was losing his racial identity and this case seems to fully demonstrate the allegation. Within a few days from now, it is more than probable that, the Times will come out editorially and announce its conversion to Democracy pure and simple without any adulterations whatever. Col. Alden J. Times is determined to land somewhere. Fusion Funnies in this state are to have a farewell from Deep Creek Jones are he takes his final leap into gold bugism at Nome. Free silver is an out of sight political hobby in hard times, but it is a nuisance to try to get office on during McKinley times. It seems to be the concensus of opinion among the state newspapers that, Seattle has dealt Fusion in this state, as it appeared in 1896, its fatal blow. Seattle, we know, dealt it a fearful blow, and, we trust, the blow will prove fatal, not only to Fusion but to all other anti-Republican oppositions. Perhaps, in most instances, Tacoma has no hankering desire to imitate Seattle, but, we predict, that a large majority of her citizens are now earnestly praying thrt Tacoma, April 4th next, will endeavor to do just as did Seattle March 6th inst, go Republican "hell bent for 'lection." Gene Way denies being editorially connected with the Herald. Peter denied knowing anything of Christ his Savior also, though he was one of his most devout disciples and followers, and Gene does not seem to want to be any better man than was Peter. England is still being haunted by day and by night by Russia's ghost, and complications may arise at any time which will bring the Bull and the Bear in deadly conflict. Colonial Secretary Chamberland is expecting just such a move at any time, and he has already begun to make preparations to meet it. England reports that not less than 3,500,000 persons in India are at present suffering from the famine now prevailing there, and all of these are receiving aid from the government. Here is an opportunity for William Jennings Bryan to get sufficient anti-Hanna campaign furniture to fight two presidential elections on, and, we trust, his advisors will not let him overlook this proposition. Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, the preaching editor, is now conducting the Topeka Capitol as a church adjunct. The novelty of the proposition has already brought the paper many new subscribers. Will it be a success? is daily asked, and, if so, there is no denying the fact that newspaperdom in the United States will certainly undergo a sudden but purifying revolution. Redmond, a neighboring Seattle village, registers a strong kick against the granting of saloon license to any one for that place. W. P. Perigo says, there is but one man there that wants the saloon and he is the man that owns it. He calls on the county commissioners to explain, why they granted the license, but the commis- sioners are too busy to explain. Saloons should not be forced on any community that does not want them, and in most cases not on those communities that do want them. Governor Rogers' pardoning bump is not very well developed or at least those persons, who have gone to him for either a pardon or a commutation, have not found it so. After a fair and impartial trial before a jury of twelve men good and true, and an upright judge it does seem peculiar that the accused would have to go before the chief executive to get justice. Tacoma has not made much increase in population since its last registration—less than 1,000, while Seattle has gained over 3,000 since its registration two years ago. A blind man can plainly see, "which is which," when shown these figures. Seattle has gained more voters within the past two years than Tacoma and Portland combined. Who said Seattle was not the place? As was predicted by every sane man throughout Christendom, the Transvaal Republic has practically lost in its contest at arms with England. It is the intention of England now to reduce it to a military province. It seems very unfair indeed that powerful governments like England are allowed to exterminate smaller governments for no other object than the mere greed of riches, which such smaller governments happen to have in great quantities. For Those Interested It is but proper to announce that the advertisements now appearing in the magazines stating that the Northern Pacific's Wonderland 1900 was ready, were necessarily prepared from six to eight weeks ago, and when we thought the publication would be ready at about that time. Unfortunately unforeseen difficulties have delayed the printers, and we will not be able to begin distribution of these books before April 1st. All requests accompanied by six cents in stamps, will be carefully attended to and a copy of Wonderland 1900 mailed to each person asking for it as soon as possible.

The official call for the same will be found in another column of this issue. ```markdown ``` How many delegates to the National convention will King county get is being very generally discussed among the "push" in Seattle at present. The why this question is being asked is, because King county casts more votes than any other two counties in the state and is legally entitled to twice the representation of any other county, inasmuch as it has none at present in Congress. The most of the state is willing, the Pie-maker has been informed, to concede this boon to King, if King herself will only put up the proper kind of a fight for it. For the past four years King has never gone to the state convention in the proper shape to demand or get anything, and, she has succeeded in that right well. Let her now lay down its internal petit bickerings and go to the convention right and the Pie-maker predicts that she will get all she asks and more besides. o o o In case King county gets two delegates, who will be the men? is being quite frequently asked. There are quite a number of men that want the honor and are perfectly willing to spend their good hard money to cross the continent to represent the Republican party of the proud young state of Washington at the national party council of war to be held in Philadelphia, and each of these will use his best endeavors to have the Ellensburg convention see him as he sees himself. The leading candidates in the field at present are E. C. Hughes, E. C. Neufelder, Samuel H. Piles, Dr. John L. Neagle, James D. Hoge, Jr., and others, who are laying dead, as it were, and waiting for political lightning to come along and raise them out of their plotting places. Unless something unusual transpires the first two aspirants will scrap at the primaries of this city and county for the honor, and, regardless of which one wins or looses in King, they will take it to the state convention for final settlement. Dr. Neagle and James D. Hoge are both strong compromise candidates and the same can be rightfully said of Samuel H. Piles. --- It is all over now, and the next interesting political event will be the state convention to select delegates to the national convention. Four delegates and four alternates afford a wide field for some shrewd guessing. We venture the guess that E. C. Hughes and John L. Wilson will be two of them.—White River Journal. --- The Pie-maker has been informed that there are a number of aspirants in Spokane county for the single honor of delegate to the National convention, and in some of the instances, the applicant would know no more of what to do in a National Republican convention than a bull in a china store, and yet, he wants it, hoping thereby to let the people in the East know that, he is one of Washington's great men and statesmen. Spokane had better send a man to the National convention that will do the state the most good as well as herself, and that man is none other than the Hon. John L. Wilson. It will be remembered that the state central committee four years ago was all bottled up for funds and would have remained so had not John L. Wilson gone East and raised it. Now the Republicans of the state should not want a repetition of the same thing, therefore they should send Wilson to the front at once. Send him, gentlemen, and then you will show to the men in the East to whom you look, for financial help on which to conduct your campaigns, that you have confidence in him and they will in turn show you that they have confidence in both you and him. Regardless of who are candidates from Spokane, she has but one practical candidate and that is John L. Wilson and she should not overlook that fact, if she has the Republican party at heart. ```markdown ``` The Republican Congressional Campaign committee has organized with Representative J. W Babcock of Wisconsin as chairman; Repre sentative J. S. Sherman of New York, vice chairman Representative Jesse Overstreet of Indiana, secretary and W.B. Thompson treasurer.

Any man that can be re-elected to the mayoralty in Seattle is worthy of a nomination for governor, reasons the street politician, and, Tom Humes has done that very thing, and Seattle should whoop it up for him. The Piemaker must admit that, it is quite a political feat to be re-elected to the mayoralty in Seattle, and he does not believe it can be done unless the person who does it, first hypnotizes the voters, as has Honest (?), Tom Humes but he considers it a dangerous proposition to go before the entire state on the hypnotic idea. It may be easy enough to hypnotize all Seattle and even King county, but it might not win all over the state. The Pie-maker predicted that should Humes be re-elected he would announce himself for some other office before two weeks would pass, and now, here it is. Since Levi Ankeny is a candidate for the same job it would appear that this brace of statesmen for office will fatally collide, politically speaking, before they will have traveled very far on the gubernatorial road. Levi may have paid the freight for Tom's senatorial campaign but he will hardly pay it for his gubernatorial campaign even with the prospects of losing King county. --- A noticeable feature about the White River Journal is, every week it never looses an opportunity to tell about the entire preambulations of Superintendent of Public Schools Merideth. When and where he visited the week prior is always to be found in the columns of the Journal every week. Now there is no way for the Journal to find out all such except Mr. Merideth reports it himself and the Journal therefore must have a financial understanding with him for so much news, each which is simply so much advertising matter. What queer ways some people take to get themselves politically advertised. It is said on the cute that Mr. Merideth will be a candidate for state superintendent of public schools on the Anti-Republican ticket or tickets next fall, and he has arranged with the Journal to allow him so much space each week to tell his constituents what a great work he is doing. Well, if this be true, all the Pie-maker has to say, there are others in the self advertising business like unto that of Mr. Merideth. ♥ ♥ ♥ "Truth crushed to the ground will rise again," is a maxim that many of the would be politicians that think they have the horse laugh on those politicians that fought the re-nomination of Mayor Humes, had better think about while in their merry glee. Those men thought they were right, and, while they may have been exceedingly bitter in their denunciation of the man before the convention met, yet they did the proper thing after he had been nominated by loyalty supporting him. That there are two great factions in the Republican party in this county at present there is no denying, and, that there is danger of either one of them exploding at any time, there is also no denying, and when the one wins over the other, the better way for the winner is to go right on sawing wood without making any unnecessary demonstrations. The Pie-maker would rather think those men had better be spending their time, talent and good graces trying to harmonize the difference in the Republican party instead of adding more fuel to the flames. Had not the opposition been worse divided than the Republicans the salt of the Pacific ocean would not have saved Mayor Humes from defeat. It is not safe to reason that, the opposition will always be divided, and that time when it is not, with your own partisans lukewarm, you are liable to loose a battle, which may all but disrupt your party. Less bragadocia and more get-to-gether would seem more in keeping with true blue Republicanism. --- "Many thanks to you, Mr. Piemaker, for your notice of my intention of standing for the nomination of supreme judge," said Mr. Fred H. Peterson one day this week, "but under no consideration will I allow my name to be used in that connection or any other connection that means an office. I have seen too many good men hold offices and then retire therefrom, and almost have to beg their bread for years while trying to build up a trade. I am making a good living out of my business at present and that I would not do should I loose it all to hold an office for a few years, and, if I should it would be quite out of the ordinary. I therefore ask you to say for me that, in no sense am I candidate for any office in the gift of the people of this state. "I consented to act as chairman of the late Republican central committee not because I wanted to use the success that I felt absolutely certain I would have in so being as a stepping stone to something higher, but simply for the love I have for local politics, and also at the earnest solicitation of Mayor Humes and others on the ticket with whom I was very friendly and wanted to see them win. Others might have done just as well, but that we are not discussing, the work has been done and done well, and, I am of the opinion, that Seattle is much the better that the results are as they are. I predicted to the Pie-maker, you remember, the day of the election about noon, that Mayor Humes would be re-elected by a plurality of 1500, and I did not miss my guess very far as the figures will prove. This is a Republican town and no kind of Fusion that may be effected by the opposition can defeat the Republican nominees." --- "While J. Edward Hawkins was committeeman of the late municipal campaign in this city from the "Teenth ward," yet, permit me to say that, he did some most excellent work and helped the committee out of a good many hard places. The most of the members of the committee were new at the business and Hawkins had done such work a number of times before and knew the ropes," said a prominent politician, who was in close touch with the leading spirits of the last campaign. What this politician said has been verified by a number of others, and it would thus seem that Mr. Hawkins made himself many strong friends in the late campaign. Schemes to bleed the committee out of money, which would reward the party nothing, were promptly turned down by Mr. Hawkins, though he was censured by those advocating them. For an instance, it is reported that Capt. P. D. Hughes came in with a bill of $75 for a certain newspaper, and pleaded that it be paid on the grounds that he stood good for it. The bill was turned down by the committee and at the suggestion of Mr. Hawkins, who reasoned that hundreds of such bills might at once come in if this one was allowed. The Captain went away pretty sore, and, if he stood good for the bill he has doubtless paid it, that is, if he ever does such a thing. --- Ex Senator John L. Wilson has been doing the Sound country this week, and while in Seattle shook hands with a host of old time friends and admirers. Senator Wilson is being urged as one of the delegates to the National convention by a number of the leading papers of the state, and, the Pie-maker is of the opinion that Spokane county will make the same urgent request at its county convention, which elects delegates to the state convention, which elects delegates to the National convention. He is not talking politics these days and using his own words, "I am content with whatever the party does, whether for or against myself individually." A political coincident worthy of more than a mere passing notice is to be found in the fact that, William Jennings Bryan has arranged to speak in Seattle the very day the Republican county convention is to be held, which will give this city a "show right" for one day. After the delegates to the county convention shall have elected delegates to the state convention, which will elect delegates to the National convention, who will nominate William McKinley for president, who will wallop the political head off of William Jennings Bryan, who will have been nominated by the Democrats at Kansas City in July, they can go that night to hear Mr. Bryan, the speaking wonder, who would rather be president than right, and see and will stoop to accomplish that desire. Mr. Bryan is said to be a very flowery speaker and can amuse most any audience he appears before, but falls way short, when it comes to convincing his hearers. He will talk, "anti-expansion," a subject very objectional to all good Seattleites and he will also talk, "free silver 16 to 1," another subject that has long since run its course in this section and no longer attracts public interest. The Piemaker suggests that an election bulletin containing the final results of both the late elections held in Seattle and Omaha be placed on the rostrum or in some convenient place, where the speaker can refer to them incidentally as he tells of the wrong doings of the Republican party since the election of William McKinley as president. SEATTLE THEATER. The famous original Frawley company opens a week's engagement at the Seattle theatre next Sunday night. This will be welcome news to all Seattle theatre goers. No theatrical organization that visits this city is better known or better liked. The company stands for the best there is in dramatic art, and Mr. Frawley announces over his own signature that his company this season is the best, largest and most expensive he has ever had under his management. The engagement will open with an elaborate scenic production of the great English racing drama of London society, "The Sporting Duchess," which will be presented until Wednesday evening, when "The Charity Ball" will be given for one performance only. On Thursday evening Sardon's famous play of "Mme. Sans-Gene" will be given for the first time in this city. This is the last great play from the pen of the foremost living dramatist, for which Miss Katherine Kidder outbid the late Mary Van Buren, Phosa McAllister, Lillian Pearl Sanders, Marion Barney, Christine Hill, Minnette Barrett, Lillian Stafford and Margaret Smith. THIRD AVENUE THEATRE The title "Who is who," which has been assigned to the musical farce comedy in which Pusey and St. John and a large company are presented under the direction of E. D. Stair and Geo. H. Nicolai, certainly indicates the nature of the vehicle. It is termed a comedy of complications and promises a merry antidote for the blues. While the play partakes of M. all the elements of legitimate farce, there will be sufficient interpolations of specialty features to entitle it to be classed with the most rollicking farce comedy bill extant. This superb organization will be seen at the Third Avenue Theatre for one week commencing Sunday March 18th. Are you buying a home?

Sambo will not be out done The postoffice department has issued a recent order to the effect that, you can register your letters with the carriers the same as at the postoffice.

The coal mines at Roslyn this state, which employ so many colored miners, are building a number of new dwellings on their works and will soon be prepared to give shelter to at least 150 more families, the men of whom can get steady employment in the mines. These are the largest coal producing mines in the Northwest and the men employed there are the best paid. Rev. C. C. Holford pastor of the A. M. E. church of this city spoke in favor of the Negroes of this country returning to Africa. He extolled the labors of Bishop Turner in the highest. "Just as God made it possible for the Egyptians to return to their home from the land of bondage, so has He made it possible for the Negro to return to Africa and found for himself a nation and a flag as other races."

Ere the misunderstanding came about they had a nice home in Roslyn where he earned splendid wages. The Nome Gold Fields The first map folder or circular respecting the Klondike gold strike of 1898 was issued by the Northern Pacific Railway. It is more than a coincidence that the first map folder or pamphlet of the Nome Mining district comes from the same source. The present folder not only contains a good map of the Nome district but is embellished with several cuts of views at Nome City and on the beach where the method of mining is clearly shown. All information obtainable regarding sailing dates from Seattle and Tacoma, through rates, etc., is given in this book and the public cautioned to go to the agents of the N. P. Ry., who are supplied with diagrams of the Alasku steamers, and arrange in advance for their accommodations rather than to put off this very important business until they reach Puget Sound. There is no doubt but what there will be a very considerable passenger business from the middle and eastern states and a very heavy business from the Pacific Coast States to the Nome district next spring.
