Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society VoL VII., NO.38 FROM THE EXCHANGES FROM THE EXCHANGES Gleaned from All Points of the Compass Anti Gambling Bill Discussed—Unique Bills Introduced by Legislators—Kansas and Mrs. Nation Still in Front. 'The supreme court of Illinois has handed down a decision in which the court holds that dram shop keepers are liable for personal injuries sustained by persons while intoxicated as a result of the use of liquor obtained from them. The case in point was from Pana. T. H. Weber, husband of the appellee, became intoxicated in a saloon and was killed by falling from his wagon.' His widow recovered a judgment for $3,000 in the lower court.—Streator Free Press. If the saloons of this place were made responsible for their work they would be much more careful about who they sold their vile stuff to. A victim of the slot machine mania committed suicide yesterday in Tacoma. Every dollar the unfortunate man made was spent on the slot machines, while his wife and four children were left in want. If slot machines must be tolerated at all, people should learn that they have no chance of winning anything out of them in the long run. The money might just as well be thrown away.—Tacoma News. Society has a conceded right to protect its members from smallpox or diphtheria, and it would seem as if it had a right to protect itself from a disease worse than either. Speaking of the Kansas mobs and their wrecking saloons, the Seattle Republican says: "In theory it is all very well to wait for the authorities to enforce the law, but in practice it does not always work. No one condemns Gen. Sherman and the vigilance committee in San Francisco for taking the law into their own hands when he found the authorities were powerless." The Republicatn is arguing from a false standpoint. The authorities are never powerless except when the majority of the citizens are arrayed against them. The proper way to do it would be not to "wait for the authorities to act," but to pitch in and help them to act. The prohibition law of Kansas is either a good thing or it is not. If it is a good thing, it is the duty of every good citizen to help the authorities enforce it, and if they will not enforce it to enforce them. If it is not a good thing, the sooner they get it off their statute books the better for the public good. The same is true of some of our Washington laws. It is the presence on our statute books of laws which nobody tries to enforce, and which the officers cannot enforce without the aid of the law-abiding class, that is the cause of the growing contempt with which our laws are regarded. We have laws enough, but those whose duty it is to help enforce them are spending their time inveighing against the officers for not doing so without even public opinion to back them. No, Brother Cayton, officers are very like other people—they may be slow about doing their duty, but they will do it—when they have to, and we don't like to see a respectable newspaper attempting to justify the acts of a mob—it doesn't look well.—Sultan Journal. No, Bro. Atwood, we are not in favor of mob law except in cases where the exigencies of the public demand it. In California the authorities refused to act, and the best people of the community were a unit for drastic measures. It was the same in Montana in the early seventies, when scores of murderers and highway robbers were hanged by vigilance committees. If the prohibitory law of Kansas is unpopular it should be repealed, but until that time arrives it should be enforced. It is not the citizens' business to enforce laws, because they pay an army of officials for that very purpose. While Mrs. Nation is not our ideal of womanhood, she has accomplished some good in calling the attention of the authorities to the fact that there is an immense pressure behind her in the nature of public opinion. Charles M. Schwab, the president of the Carnegie Steel Company, is 39 years old. He went to work in the steel works at Braddock in 1880 as a stake driver in the engineer corps at $1 a day. In seventeen years he has become the president of the greatest steel manufacturing company in the world at a salary of $50,000 a year and a 3 per cent. interest. His stock holdings are now worth $30,000,000. Who says that young men have no chance to rise i n the world?—Tacoma News. And yet there are hundreds of young men in Seattle and Tacoma lounging on street corners and praying for the good old times when a man had a chance to work his way up to positions of trust. When you ask when that time was, they will point to the time of the civil war or some other inflated period. The fact is there never was a time in the history of the country when a young man of industrious and economical habits could earn as much and save as much as at the present time. An anti-gambling bill has been introduced at Olympia which provides that the player or victim in a gambling game shall be equally guilty with the keeper of the place, and that all stakes seized in at raid or otherwise taken possession of are to go into the public school fund. Everett would draw the line on this. She may use fines collected from promoters of gambling and other evils to pay the cost of policing the city, but she would not care to raise school revenue in that way.—Everett Herald. The bill was probably introduced at the request of the gambling fraternity of the state, and is intended to suppress all chance of obtaining evidence against the fraternity. Representative Ed. Brown, of Whatcom, is championing some nondescript legislation which provides for the nomination of a candidate for U. S. senator by each party at the convention preceding the meeting of the legislature. The electors are to vote for their candidate and the result is to be certified to the legislature. All this is intended as a straw ballot, as the legislature cannot be bound by the proceeding. It is only intended as an expression of the opinion of the voters, and might easily occasion serious dissensions within the parties. It is pop legislation of the worst kind, and is not likely to be popular with the majority.—Reveille. If this is Populist legislation, in the name of common sense let us have more of it. The practice of voting and indicating the preferences in the party has been often tried in several states and no one questioned the wisdom of the acts. The effects of abolishing the canteen are already noted at Fort Sam Houston, Tex., in the opening of a number of saloons near the army post. Army officers who sounded the unheeded warning are not surprised, and have just grounds to fear a demoralizing effect upon the men.—Oregonian. Every one knew what would finally be the sequel except a few old grannies who thought and cared more for a theory than for the practical effect. The same report comes from Fort Sheridan. Since the closing of the canteen the receipts of the saloons have doubled.

What we call a spider's thread consists of more than 4,000 threads united. Railway track elevation in Chicago has cost the companies $17,-000,000. The French Legion of Honor is the biggest order of merit and numbers 55,000. A French expert says submarine navigation has been solved by his compatriots. Austrian merchants and manufacturers are alarmed over the increase of foreign trade. Many Etruscan tombs have been found in central Italy during the past two years. New York city owes more by $60,000,000 than all the forty-five states of the Union together. It is said that beside the indemnity Russia will demand 30,000,000 tails for injuries in Manchuria. The Peking Gazette, the oldest daily paper in the world, has suspended publication. It is supposed A machinists' union was organized in Honolulu on the 19th ult. It starts out with ninety-eight members. The poisoning of people in London by drinking beer has had the effect of decreasing the sales 20 per cent. It is said that posts put in the ground upper end down will last much longer than those put in the usual way. About fifty of the principal observatories are now co-operating to ascertain the distance from the earth to the sun. Steve L. Hommedieu tried to shoot Robert Pinkerton, manager of the eastern department of the celebrated agency. In Siberia one has to ride as much as 500 versts for a doctor. There are only one physician to 30,000 inhabitants in Russia. Troops in Pekin looted the roof of at Buddhist temple in the belief that the tiles were of gold, but they were only plated. During the present century the Bible has been translated into 350 languages, which nine-tenths of the human race can read. The great pipe organ to be used in the temple of music at the Pan-American exposition was built to order at a cost of $15,000. During the past year there were 4,005 domestic articles of incorporation filed in the office of the secretary of state at Olympia. A bronze bas relief tablet of Hamilton Fish, Jr., who was killed in the Spanish-American war, has been erected in Columbia college. ```markdown ``` Vital statistics show that 7,000 people die annually of consumption. The theatre at Ephesus has been laid bare by the Austrian excavations. The great harbor appears to be of Greek, and not Roman origin. Mexicatns and Yaqui Indians employed in the Mexican mines at Phoenix, Arizona, are alarmed over the proposed importation of Chinamen. A country doctor in Rouen, France, has discovered that swabbing the throat with common petroleum is an effectual treatment of diphtheria. The monthly pay roll has increased and with it the population of Everett 5,000 since the census was taken. It is now the fourth city in the state. Up to 1880 France had only private high schools for girls. Now there are forty female lyceums supported by the state, and twenty-eight by cities. Preparations are being made for the erection of a large steel plant at Norwalk, Ohio, which will cost $1,000,000. Over 2,500 men will obtain employment in the works. On April 1st the window glass trust will close down eighty plants and throw 30,000 employees out of work. The idea is to curtail production and keep up prices primarily. W. A. Heath, of Rawlins, Wyo., says he has invented a flying machine which will revolutionize water navigation as well as solve the aerial navigation problem. Broadwater, near Worthing, England, has had but two rectors in the nineteenth century. The late incumbent was appointed in 1797 and the present one in 1853. The abandoned farms of Massaceltis are fast being taken up. Three years ago there were 330 thus classed in the state. A recent enumeration shows there are now only 136. The leader of the famous Marine band at Washington, D. C., gets $1,500 a year, and the first and second-class musicians $60 and 50 a month respectively. They are allowed ration money besides. The Marquis of Lansdowne in 1866 succeeded to the marquisate and estates, which extend over nine counties and include close upon 140,000 acres and bring in a rent roll of between $250,000 and $300,000. The moving sidewalk of the Paris exposition was a great success: 6,694,308 paid for the privilege of using the platforms, while only 2,635,867 used the railway that carried passengers in the other direction. Geo. E. Roberts, director of the United States mint, estimates that the total gold output of the world for 1901 will be $365,000,000. Of this amount the United States will produce $94,000,000, or about $10,000,000 more than any other country. In carrying out the repairs to the Temple of Carnak, M. Legrain discovered a city gate. It is the first found in Egypt and is of great height. The chief causes of the fall of a part of the temple are the character of the soil and the artificial flooring of the temple. The Swiss have invented a new kind of life-saving apparatus. It is a pitch cloak and weighs about one pound and will keep even a fully-equipped soldier above water. It has water-proof pockets in which food and drink may be carried, as well as blue lights in case the wearer is shipwrecked in the night. The court of appeals of New York has handed down a decision that will have a far-reaching effect. A contratctor refused to pay the rate of wages which the municipal authorities held necessary under the law. The court denies the right of the legislature to fix wages of a municipality. The decision affects about 5,000 teachers, all the firemen, policemen and other city employs. SEATTLE SUMMARY SEATTLE SUMMARY Appropriately Bunched for the Quick Reader—Gathered from All Points of the City's Compass Council Notes. The assessors will start about the 10th of March to begin work in the city. The nickel in the slot machine is still doing business in most of the saloons of the city. W. H. Agnew, who will be Auditor Lamping's chief deputy, assumed his duties last week. Judge Tallman is making a very satisfactory judge of the equity department of the superior court. Dr. J. C. Thomas has taken charge of the Anti-Saloon League. He is a new arrival from Pennsylvania. Chief Meredith has not yet made any attempt to enforce the ordinances recently passed by the city council. The grafting community are in hot water for fear that the court proceedings may make them tell who got the swag. The saloon men are not going to lose the benefit of side entrances without a fight. Nearly all ignore the ordinance. Sam Cohn was either "seen" or was persuaded to let up on gambling for fear of his health. The gambling business goes on apace. The Automatic Telephone Company won their case before Judge Tallman, but the city has taken the case to the supreme court. President Mellen was in the city the last of the week and had an interesting meeting with the members of the Chamber of Commerce. The upholders of law and order are carefully perfecting their organization. They intend when ready to drive every slot machine out of business. Shomo got off again scott clear by fixing the prosecuting witness. What that individual does not know about fixing up his crimes is not worth knowing. The irrepressible chief deputy in the assessor's office manages to keep in position the most of the time, through ways that are sometimes terrible murky. Dr. F. W. Sparling is kept pretty busy these days examining applicants for enlistment into the army. He says a splendid lot of men are being received. The Seattle Electric Company will apply for permission to extend their system to Woodland park. This will open up new territory and be of great benefit to the public. So far that has not been a general sweep of clerks in the different county offices. Old-time Pops and Democrats are working as contented as ever alongside of their gold bug friends. Gardner Kellogg is now marshal. and Cook and Clark assistants of the fire department. Cook is occupying Kellogg's place as chief, and Capt. Clark assistant. All are excellent appointments. The Hoshor case, which is familiar to all newspaper readers, has been continued until March 11. Hoshor and Thompson, it is alleged, defrauded a wealthy Klondiker by the name of Torrence. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS The man who says Jim Hill is a friend to Seattle is wrong in his sequence. Seattle is a friend to Jim Hill. So far as Jim Hill is concerned he is simply a friend—to Jim Hill. The saving clause for the city is found in the fact that he can't exist without a "terminus."—Seattle Mail and Herald. The Seattle Times is authority for the statement that Jim Hill has done more to build up Seattle than have all other men combined. A good way to emphasize, by way of illustration, would be to size up the Hill tax bill and compare it with the aggregate tax bill of the great minority, the rest of the city.—Weekly Blade. The trustees of the A. M. E. church will hold a grand rally on April 14th in order to make a supreme effort to clear the church of indebtedness. Clubs have been organized, with some of the most prominent ladies of the city as captains. The trustees have offered prizes to the clubs raising the most money, as follows: First prize, value $10; second prize, value $5; third prize, value $2.50. All church members and its well-wishers are gratefully requested to help us out by assisting the clubs and also participating in the rally, which the trustees hope to make a grand event. The Sullivan heirs still continue to come forward. There have been 400 deaths in two days from the plague in Bombay. Dr. Hutchinson will shortly sever his connection with the First Presbyterian church. The work of installing iron cells in the new wing of the penitentiary is still in progress. The legislature of California has passed a bill making prizefights in that state a felony. A resolution inviting President McKinley to visit the state of Washington passed both houses. The inauguration last Monday was a splendid affair, notwithstanding the Washington weather. Ryan and Clark, Tacoma highwaymen, were sentenced to ten and eight years in the penitentiary. Mrs. Nation manages to keep her name in the papers, and that will probably satisfy her ambition. Consul Wildman said in an interview at Honolulu that the insurrection in the Philippines was at an end. Senator Carter talked the infamous river and harbor bill to death, and thus saved $50,000,000, temporarily. A moral wave has struck Dawson, and the authorities have ordered the gambling and other evil resorts to close. Mr. Charles T. Yerkes, the Chicago street car magnate, has sold his Chicago street car interests to a large syndicate. Congress has adjourned, and the people have reason to congratulate themselves on the fact that they went when they did. The Olympia people are again happy on account of the purchase of the court house, which makes the capital more secure. The manifestations against the Jesuits of Oporto, Spain, continue. The police are doing their best to disperse the rioters. It is now Mr. Pettigrew. Having laid aside his senatorial toga, he will not be very likely to have any more use for it in South Dakota. Capt. Jones, of the Eighth infantry, captured four hundred insurgents in the Philippines and drove them from their stronghold. Schlatter, the divine healer, is not meeting with unbounded success in Tacoma. He came near organizing a free fight at his first meeting. The bill appropriating $5,000,000 for the St. Louis exposition passed. When all other grafts fail, the exposition scheme generally succeeds. CURRENT EVENTS T e Pepublican Pub. Co., Publishers OFFICE 714 THIRD AVENUE William M. Evarts, one of the greatest lawyers of his time, died in New York last week at the age of 83 years. He retired from practice several years ago. Roslyn Ferrell was electrocuted in the Ohio penitentiary last week. It will be remembered that some time ago he murdered Charles Lane, an express messenger. One of the life-saving crew at Fort Point confessed to the captain of the station that he heard the signals of the Rio de Janeiro, but failed to awake the crew of the station. The Ladies' Home Journal charges $1,000 a column for advertising, and refuses from four to twenty-six columns of acceptable and remunerative advertising matter every month. The Union Pacific has bought the Southern Pacific and is now one of the great transcontinental roads. The opportunity came for the purchase when Collis P. Huntington died. The former road only extended to Ogden, Utah, and the Central Pacific, a part of the Southern, was necessary to complete the line to the coast. A large amount of business was transacted during the closing hours of congress and partisan feeling ran high, but the members finally cooled off when each found that he had secured his share of the public revenue for every creek where there was supposed to be any water during the next year. It is said that before the end of the session a bill will be introduced in the legislature which will provide against the use of artificial nourishments for infants. The design of the bill is to prevent competition of the industry. The bill may pass, as the worthy members would hate to draw the line at a little harmless freak in the closing hours of the session. One of the most abominable steals which came near becoming a law in the present congress was the river and harbor bill appropriating sixty million dollars. The bill from its very inception was a graft, and every congressman who was to get a fat contract for some constituent was an earnest defender of the outrage. Politics cuts no figure in this job, as all the members supposed to be benefitted form a pool and leave the men who oppose such schemes out in the cold. Hardly a protest is raised against it by the great newspapers. Gov. Nash, of Ohio, has set an example that could be profitably imitated by other officials and politicians. He took a stand early that prizefighting was unlawful, and this resolution he successfully maintained, notwithstanding the fact that some of his closest friends who were a power in the world of politics were strenuous opposers of his policy. By his energetic, firm position he has earned the respect of law-abiding citizens and given the law-breakers a lesson that they will not soon forget. If Gov. Stanley had been as resolute in enforcing the liquor law in Kansas there would not have been any Mrs. Notorious Nation. So far the present legislature holds the diploma for being the most extravagant legislative body congregated since the state was admitted into the Union. Meeting on an average of four hours a day and taking junketing trips about the state at the taxpayers' expense ought to satisfy even the present membership. Extra clerks have been employed simply to pay political debts, and before the last member has left the building every vestige of personal property will have been removed for good and sufficient reasons to themselves, and the state will have to purchase again for the next session. In fact it is said that the looting has already begun. Schlatter, the divine healer, is making a great stir on the Sound, and many credulous people believe he is capable of curing anything. It is a good thing that a time limit exists for which our law makers can remain at Olympia. Were it otherwise there would not be any funds left. Geo. Cotterill may get the ill-will of the sporting people for his aggressive fight in favor of an honest enforcement of the law, but the men who have the good of the city at heart will honor him for the stand he has taken. One of the most obnoxious means of raising revenue was that of the stamp check, not so much on account of the expense of paying the tax, but because of its inconvenience in procuring and keeping at hand the stamps. Seattle is not the only city where the law and order people are insisting on the enforcement of the laws on the statute books. In New York city thousands of the best people are organizing for a campaign against lawlessness, which promises to continue until the alliance between the officials and the criminal classes are broken. The effort does not, as in most cases, appear spasmic, but the leaders in the movement are determined to continue the agitation until complete success is attained. If Admiral Sampson wrote the letter he is accused of writing on the promotion of Gunner Morgan he has shown himself to be a snob and unworthy of the position he holds in the navy. He concedes the fact that Morgan is competent for a commissioned officer and has a splendid record, but that his social training has not been such as to enable him to make a good impression abroad. Admiral Sampson has no right to be very proud of his ancestors, and this letter would seem to indicate that he has inherited the snobbishness of his whole race. Some people are raving at the position the Post-Intelligencer has taken on the saloon question. They charge the paper with taking the position to hurt Humes and build up the fortunes of John L. Wilson. For the sake of argument we will concede that their contention is true. But if the position taken is the correct one, the management can well afford to follow up the assaults so vigorously begun. There is one dead sure proposition for them to consider, and that is that there will be no backward steps, and the stand taken will be maintained at all hazards. They have only begun. Albert Shenkle, who committed a criminal assault on the daughter of Charles H. Diller in Illinois, was tried, sentenced to the penitentiary for an indefinite period, and started on his journey all within an hour, which clearly proves that quick work can be done by the courts when it is desirable. If there was more expedition in meting out justice to criminals whose guilt is beyond question there would be less lynching in the country. There are scarcely any lynchings across our northern border, because the people know that justice is swift and unrelenting in the Canadian dominions. "They (the saloon-keepers) do better now for the protection of their interests. When wise provision is made in the army post recreation house for the safe and decent relaxation and refreshment of the soldier, they control the highest legislative body in the land, so that, under the guise of a surrender to the disciples of Mrs. Nation and their like, it plays squarely into the hands of the nearest saloons and all the infamies that its back parlors and their like provide for the degradation of decent young manhood." This is Bishop Potter's idea of the canteen system, and no one will attempt to accuse him of having any sympathy with intemperance and saloons. Nearly every army man, officer and private, have given their testimony in favor of the canteen as a restrictive concern, but the dreamers and theorists who are attempting to reform the country insist they have won a great victory by its abolishment. It has often been re- marked that the radical prohibitionist and the saloon-keeper could always be depended upon to vote in concert. The city of Everett gave the members of the legislature a royal welcome, but it is feared the good people cast their bread upon the waters. Congressman Shaw, who died recently, commanded the first Negro regiment raised during the civil war. He was an aggressive man and stood always ready to back up his principles. No one ever accused him of dishonesty, but he was cordially hated by the Copperheads. The election of Mr. Mitchell by the Oregon legislature to the United States senate gives Scott of the Oregonian another black eye, for if there was anything' that Scott particularly hated it was Mitchell. While it was perhaps unfortunate that the aid of the Democrats was necessary to his election, it was better thus than not at all. Scott wants to be a boss of the first magnitude, but the people of Oregon will not tolerate his ambition. Some one in the New York legislature proposes to solve the Christian science problem in a practical manner. Some physicians will be on hand ready to inoculate the scientists with typhoid germs and allow the crowd to work out their own salvation. If they reject the germ theory there will not be much ground to stand on. On the other hand, if they accept, it will be suggestive of the middle ages, when victims were thrown into fire or water to prove their innocence. If Tillman, of South Carolina, wants to work himself into a fever of excitement he should go home and investigate the most revolting, cruel and unlawful infringement of the Declaration of Independence yet discovered in the United States since the civil war. In Anderson county a man by the name of Newell was arrested, tried and acquitted of murdering a man who was held as a slave on some trumped-up trivial charge, which facts the court is now investigating. When this report comes to light it promises to reveal one of the most revolting systems of slavery that ever existed in this country. It is also said the system is not only confined to Anderson county, but nearly the whole state of South Carolina. The men who conducted the meeting for the purpose of influencing the enforcement of law in this city did so in such a manner that every business man, outside of the business of saloon keeping, and every other good citizen can heartily approve their work. If enforcement leagues and other reformers would be satisfied with the practical side of the question they would accomplish a great deal more. Reforms cannot all be brought about at once, and the sooner the radical temperance folk find this out the better it will be for the cause. If the men who are engaged in this crusade will confine their efforts to the ousting of the worst gambling device in the city—the nickel-in-the-slot machine—the will have earned the thanks of the community at large, if they are not better paid. The men composing the gathering were representative citizens, and they engaged in this work because they considered it a duty they owed to the people as well as themselves. The Tacoma Ledger says that "two little girls are held in jail at Walla Walla. They have been there for months, and the day of their liberation seems remote, yet they are charged with no crime. Their misfortune is that against one of them there is supposed to have been a crime committed, and, as to the other, she knows something of the case. Their testimony will be necessary at the trial of the foul creature held for the offending, and he awaits in the same jail." The children happen to be unfortunate waifs, who have no friends to bail them out. This is not an isolated case, and is happening nearly every month in King county. Some unfortunate individual happens to have his pocket picked and some hobo is accused of the crime. The culprit secures bondsmen from the criminal ele- ment, but the victim, who is a stranger in a strange city, and without friends or influence, is thrust into jail, possibly for months, to await the slow-going process of the courts and the criminal lawyer, hired to defend him. It seems there should be some way of improving on this method of criminal procedure. Gov. Rogers vetoed the bill for the regulation of the practice of medicine, and he is entitled to the thanks of the people for this effort to put a brake on freak legislation. The bill was not the innocent measure that it appeared on the surface, though it passed over his veto later. The dexterity with which the retiring judges of the different districts of the state closed up their business when they ascertained they must vacate proves that all the hue and cry raised for more judges was simply to provide positions for men who could not make a living practicing law. Every person outside of Olympia knows the capital should be removed to some more accessible 'place', but here is where the difference of opinion comes in as to which is the place where it should be anchored. King does not want it, but will vote against it going to Tacoma because that city can always be depended upon to vote against any improvement which would assist in building up or benefitting Seattle in any way. Other cities seem to think that it is certain to be removed some time and lightning might strike in their direction. Possession is nine points of the law, and Olympia has possession. M. A.

Quay has always been considered one of the great political captains of his time, and many of his constituents have denounced his methods in unmeasured terms. But the fact remains that he has been popular with the common people and ean always carry a large major- ity of his party with him in a popular lection. Quay never claimed to be an angel, but it is well known throughout the state of Pennsylva- nia that his word is as good as his bond in polities, and it is also known that any man who lends his aid to the great boss will be remembered and assisted if the chance ever lies in his power. The latter fact he con- siders the chief element of his sue- cess and power as a practical poli- tician. We are not indorsing his other methods, but his loyalty to his friends could be well imitated by many tin-horn politicians of King county. Quay received his elemen- tary political education under the unscrupulous, unprincipled, but con- summate master of politics, Simon Cameron, who for many years was the master mind that controlled the political destinies of Pennsylvania. ‘The report has been in circulation for some time that Van de Vanter was a candidate for sheriff, but to some parties he has strenuously de- nied the rumor, while to others he has urged his candidacy with all the zeal of the consummate politician. But facts have come to light which show that when he made his peace with John Wooding it was agreed that he should again enter the race for the nomination two years hence. It makes very little difference to the public at large whether he again se- cures a nomination or not, as he would be worse beaten than he was during the last campaign, when he ran 5,000 behind the head of the ticket. But it makes a great differ- ence to the Republican party whether their ticket is covered with barnacles deep enough to sink the whole combination or whether they nominate clean men who will not have to be defended from start to finish. The press of King county has been very lenient with Van de Vanter, and- with the exception of the Telegraph expose, have allowed him and his methods to remain in the dark. If there has been a living man in King county with whom Mr. Van de Vanter has played fair in the game of politics, that man has not yet come to the front. If Mr. Cud- ihee keeps up his present gait he will be renominated and re-elected by the largest majority ever given a candi- date in King county, unless he has an equally clean man to run against, which is not Van de Vanter. ‘There is every indication that the Ankeny forces are already beginning on their campaign for the senatorial clection of 1903. The first step in this direction was in the preparation of the reapportionment bill, in those districts, especially, where Ankeny sympathizers are now the represen- — : HOUSES LOTS aii FoR SALE ano.

This is perhaps not so no- ‘ticeable here in King county, but the {fact can be well illustrated in other iparts of the state. In Pierce county ‘the Ankeny gerrymander is said to ‘be so palpable as to excite comment ‘among all classes of politicians Klickitat county has been put by it- self, and will likely be controlled by George Baker, who will support ‘Ankeny next time if the Walla Walla ‘banker will make a show of dropping George Piper. Lincoln county, be- ing Democratic, is given scant con- sideration in the reapportionment Dill, as compared with some others. bet not so with Cowlitz, where the ‘Ankeny people claim to be in con- ‘rol. With less than 8,000. people itis given a senator, and Dr. Sims is already slated for the position. But the case of Jefferson county is the worst of all. Jefferson county has supported Ankeny for the past six years. Two years ago some sort of influence was brought to bear on Senator Clapp that caused him to leave Foster the day before he re- ceived the caucus nomination, and go to Ankeny. Senator Clapp has been a devoted Ankeny adherent ever since, and it is said that Senator Clapp and Editor Lysons, of Port Townsend, simply went to the An- keny forces and held them up for two representatives for a county that is scarcely entitled to one. They promised the two representatives and the senator for that district, it is as- serted, to Ankeny next time. This is a matter that will be looked into, along with other districts where a contract has been taken to bring in Ankeny legislators. It is said the Foster push is now trying to find a way to get rid of Collector of Customs Huestis, and to also find some excuse for breaking an absolute pledge, given to Marshal Ide, for the appointment. ‘That this promise was made is not denied by those on the inside. But it is claimed by Grosseup and some other political jobbers that the promise will never be fulfilled. They say they can’t trust Ide to do some dirty work for them, or words to that effect, and Grosscup is said to have promised the place to D. B. Crocker, of Walla Walla. One thing is certain, and that is, if Senator Foster promised the place to Ide, and Grosseup prom- ised it to Crocker, Crocker is the man that will finally land the job, no mat- ter what sort of excuses are to be given for it. Foster thinks he is the senator until he tries to have an ap- pointment made that don’t suit Grossenp. Then he finds that he must “guess again.” And Grosseup always has the winning guess, Another indication that Grosseup is not tying himself up solidly with the Ankeny forces is the fact thai Crocker is not an original Ankeny man, and does not have the confi dence of the Ankeny push in Walla Walla. He is said to be strongly anti- Wilson, but the Ankeny people be lieve that he has not always played entirely fair with them, He is said to be very vindictive and revengeful in his nature, and has openly assert. ed, it is said, that there ought not to be a Wilson man in the entire gov. ernment service in this state, even under the civil service regulation: governing the customs service. His first work, it is said by some of Gross cup’s friends, would be to weed out all John L, Wilson’s sympathizer: from the service, if he were collector of customs. Here in the Seattle of fice he would find about as many Democrats as Republicans, but he would probably let the Democrats re main while he pried around to fin¢ out with whom the Republicans hav been affiliating: that is said to bx part of his programme if he gets thi place. This is the sort of work thal is expected to elect Levi Ankeny ti the United States senate. Crocker has about as little use for George Piper as Ben Grosscup has. He appears to feel friendly toward him, but has known for some time that but for the opposition of Piper he might have been, himself, the Ankeny senatorial manager two year ago. He has always been very frec with his criticism of the Ankeny management at that time, bu! heaven knows it was bad enough to call for criticism from every quarter Crocker would be just the kind of man to manipulate things for Gross cup. He has no warm admiration for Ankeny, especially with Piper and Paulhamus standing between Ankeny and Crocker, and if he is appointed collector of customs it would not be surprising to find Jef- ferson county and that portion of the Northwest where the custom house influence could be used, lined up in the interest of the Grosscup candidate for senator next time. And tlist would not be Ankeny. That an understanding has been reached in regard to the removal of federal office holders is evidenced by the fact that, this county has a can- didate for every position filled by 2 Wilson man. A conference was held not long since between Van de Van- ter, Wooding and Ankeny in which it was settled that Wooding should be provided for if he would withdraw from his threatened second effort for sheriff. But sometimes the “best laid plans of mice and men gang aft aglee.” Germany spends $194,000,000 ix round numbers annually for her army and navy; England is spending $238,000,000 for her present war Russia spends an even $200,000,00¢ a year; but the United States appro. priates this year $253,000,000 for a naval and military establishment fa1 smaller than that of any of these countries. Explanations would cer. tainly seem to be in order—Wash- ington Standard. That is dead easy, Bro. Murphy If the United States paid the same salaries to their soldiers and sailor that Germany and Russia pays there would not be such a heavy eum. There is in Sedalia, Mo., aceord- ing to the veracious and reliabl Capital, a hen which has the world beaten at her particular hobby, that of laying twice a day. This hen, it is solemnly averred, produces tw» eggs every day in the week. She is the property of Charles Dexter, who, the Capital says, can prove to the satisfaction of any one interested that the hen actually lays the eggs. If that hen could be induced to come to Seattle she would fill a long felt want, besides enriching her manager. While Mrs. P. T. Bulger, of Port. land, Or., was traveling on a train toward Spokane, Wash., she gave birth to twins. ‘The elder, a boy, was born in Oregon, and the other a girl, in the state of Washington an hour later. This is the first ease or record where twins were born in dif. ferent states—Olympia Chronicle. ‘This proves the great possibilitie: of Washington and Oregon for am: bitious parents to locate in. The Delaware legislature has passed a bill subjecting wife beater: to a penalty of five to thirty lashes, to be administered in public.

We believe that nine out of every ten men in the state sustain the veto of Gov. Rowers.

SEATTLE ELECTRIC CO. 815 Second Avenue ‘The spring season at the Grand Opera House opens Sunday. A very fine line of attractions has been se- cured for the balance of the year. THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS IN THEATRE. Laura Nelson Hall, as "Lady Babbie" in "The Little Minister," at the Grand. AMUSEMENTS "The Little Minister," which is justly enough termed the greatest success of the century, has been secured by Manager Cort for the attraction at the Grand Opera House next week, beginning with the matinee Sunday, and this splendid dramatic treat is to be presented with its complete scenic effects, properties, costumes, etc., and interpreted by a company of positive excellence from first to last. Miss Laura Nelson Hall, who from all reports has made a distinct personal triumph as Lady Babie, winning the most favorable comparison in cities where Miss Maud Adams was first seen in the role, is with this company, which also includes such well-known New York players as Mr. Ralph E. Cummings, who appears as the Little Minister, and who is said to be the best; Mr. Charles Giblyn, Mr. Willard Blackmore, Miss Blanch Douglas, Mr. Robert Church and others of equal ability. "The Little Minister" is a play of the greatest attractiveness to all theater-goers. Its dramatic intensity, quaint, laughable comedy, and appealing touches of nature so skillfully blended together, have made as great a success on the stage as the story was in book form. At the Seattle theater, commencing Sunday next, and for the week with Wednesday and Saturday matinee, Wagenhals and Kemper will present Mr. Louis James and Miss Laura Nelson Hall, as "Lady H at the Kathryn Kidder and their excellent organization in a round of Shakespearian revivals. The opening bill Sunday night will be "Richard III," Shakespeare's historical tragedy, when Mr. James will impersonate Richard, Duke of Gloster, and Miss Kidder will assume Lady Anne. This play will be presented also at the Wednesday matinee and Saturday night. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday nights and Saturday matinee "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and Wednesday night the immortal bard's sublime tragedy, "Macbeth," Mr. James appearing in the title role and Miss Kidder as Lady Macbeth. The big scenic production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" promises to be one of the most notable theatrical engagements of the year. Certainly the lovers of music will find this an opportunity for rare enjoyment, for much of the famous Mendelssohn music written for this comedy will be introduced in the James-Kidder costume. A chorus of an augmented orchestra and ballet are used for the revival. This with a company of artists, including Louis James as Bottom, and Kathryn as Helena, Jane Oaker as Hermina: --- Norman Hackett, Lysander; Robert Ryan, Demeterous; Ethel Browning, Puck; Ashley Miller, Oberon; Thos. Cooke, Quince, and many other capable performers makes an entertainment which will be thoroughly enjoyed by theater-goers. In "A Midsummer Night's Dream" new and effective business has been introduced: The disposition of the groups; the treatment of a quarrel scene between Oberon and Titania, with a disappearance of the Indian child; the moonlight effects and the gradual assembly of gobelins and fairies in shadow mists, through which the fireflies glimmer, are novel and exquisite. Wagenhals and Kemper have achieved a triumph of well-balanced art in this famous revival. The spectacular does not overlay the acting, or interfere with the action, but is conceived in a feeling of beauty and carried out in moderation. The background of the play is so poetic that it draws one away from the humdrum of life and begets an illusion that is enchanting. But above the poetry, above the lovesick dithyrams, above the fairyland, is the rich and racy fun of the Pyramus and Thisis episode. It is a testimony of the charm of the comedy that, in spite of its practical withdrawal from the stage for half a generation, the text of no play of Shakespeare, except "Hamlet," is better known. "Nell Gwynn" will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House the week of March 17th. Babbie" in "The Little Minister," Grand.
