The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST VOL. VIII., NO. 1 BROTHER IN BLACK Under Critical Observations By Conservative Men. OUR BORROWED IDEAS Culled, Collected and Commented Upon to Show the Progress, Prosperity and Prominence of the American Negro in Comparison to His Brothers in White—Proving Himself to be Equal to the Emergency. According to a paper published by a colored man in Washington City, there are fair prospects of a fire department company being organized among the colored men of that city. From the Atlanta Constitution it is learned that there is a colored man in that city who has recently returned from the state prison, having served a twenty-five-year term for stealing four sticks of candy, which was construed as burglary, and this enormous sentence was given him for the crime. He was but 11 years of age when sentence was passed upon him. It is now claimed that Henry Lacey, who is a sergeant on the detective force of the Washington City police, is the first man of his color to have served in that capacity in the capital city. Mr. Lacey is said to be a splendid man for the place and is filling the position very acceptably. Charles E. Morse, a young white student of the city of Denver, in an oratorical contest won first prize with the subject, "A Plea for the Afro-American." Somehow or other the people of this country will keep the Afro-American prominently before the public, and somehow or other the subject touching upon Afro-Americanism is always popular, and those handling it generally take first place. The Associated Press dispatches tell of a colored man in Hopkinsville, Ky., who died May 22 and who was 60 years of age—Peter Potstel—and he was said to be the richest Negro in the South, having accumulated from $500,000 to $1,000,000 out of the grocery business, which he had conducted since the war. He made no pompous display in the conducting of his business, but simply went on from day to day, and, vulgarly speaking, sawed wood. He was careful and economical in his business transactions and leaves a cash fortune of $500,000, with other valuables to swell this sum to a much greater amount. The life of Peter Potstel, the colored man who saved a fortune in the grocery business, should serve as an example to every colored man that they, too, can do something toward laying up a dollar for a rainy day. Perhaps they cannot save as much as Potstel; perhaps they cannot save even $50,000, but probably they can save $10,000, and, if they can't save $10,000, probably they can save $1,000, as one thousand is better than no thousand dollars and dying a pauper. The average colored man too frequently earns his $2 a day and spends $2.50 a day instead of earning $2 and spending $1 a day. The laws of political economy teach that one should always live within their income that the residue of such may serve them for a while at least when their income ceases to come In reply to our colored brother who wishes to know "What we are to do with our young boys and girls?" this paper would like to be permitted to say, "Put them to work to keep them out of mischief, for idle hands are the devil's workshop." The idea has become too general among the colored folk that their boys and girls must cease to work and be on the lookout for soft snaps; that is to say, clerical jobs, political positions and such other places as will make dudes instead of men out of their boys. While it is well for the colored boys and girls to be in a position to take all of the soft snaps that come along, yet it is a bad idea for them to labor under the belief that they are born for such positions. When our boys and girls have learned to work and work at all kinds of work, skilled or unskilled, then the soft snap jobs will be much more common for them than they are at present. Historical Society And now comes the colored people of Chicago with an idea of wanting to build a theater exclusively for colored talent. The idea is absurd and ridiculous, and the man advocating it should be given the cold shoulder by every colored man of good sense. Every theater and opera house in this country is thrown open to colored talent if they can only fill it. In fact, a great many opera houses are very partial to colored troupes that can draw a crowd, and colored talent finds it no trouble to make dates with such houses. Now, just why these colored men feel called upon to draw the color line in this particular is more than can be understood by colored people who are struggling to prevent the drawing of the color line in business avocations in the United States. When the colored man shows his adaptability to do things just as well as the white man, he will find as many avocations open to him as does the white man. The colored man's misfortune in the past was that he has been par excellence in generalities, but the blankest of blank failures in specialities. It is the detail man that always succeeds and the sooner the colored man understands this the sooner will he be a greater success in the business world of this country. Baltimore, Md., is all stirred up over having the colored teachers supplant white teachers in that city in the colored schools. From time immemorial the higher grades of the colored schools have been presided over by white teachers, but now the superintendent of schools has come to the conclusion that he can improve the conditions of the colored schools by putting colored teachers in those places filled by white teachers. Owing to the fact that there is a social condition in the South that places a great gulf between the white teachers and the colored people which renders it utterly impossible for the white teachers to elevate colored pupils socially, there is no doubt but that colored teachers would be more successful in colored schools than white teachers. The same rule, however, would not hold good in Northern cities, and it would be detrimental to the colored race to make such a move in a city north of Mason & Dixon's line. It is much better that the pupils be given the best teachers, whether such teachers be white or black. In some of the cities of the North colored teachers have proven themselves just as efficient and as successful as have the white teachers, and though their pupils are of mixed nationalities there seems to be no more friction than if the teachers were white. A company of Negroes has been formed in Nashville to manufacture shirts. In the library at congress are 1,400 titles of works written by Negroes. Many of these books are on the shelves and are frequently called for by readers. There are 2,500,000 Negro pupils in public schools in this country; 45,000 students in higher institutions; 35,000 Negro teachers; 30,000 Negroes learning the trades, and 3,000 pursuing classical and scientific courses; 1,500 pursuing business courses. The Negroes have raised for educational purposes, since their emancipation, $13,000,000; acquired church property worth $15,000,000 and 150,000 farms worth $450,000,000. PERSONAL Mrs. Booker Jones and daughter, of Franklin, were among the visitors to this city during the past week. Mr. Joseph B. Hagen, formerly of Spokanne, has secured employment in this city with the Pacific Coast Company, and in the future will be a Seattleite good and true. Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Gayton entertained a number of friends Friday evening at a very pleasant card party. Refreshments were served after the evening had been spent by those present pleasantly gaming. Mr. Frank Anderson has about completed him a home near Green Lake and feels like complimenting himself for the step he has taken. There are at present some half a dozen or more colored families who contemplate taking the same wise step. The car service from that point is splendid and persons industriously inclined need not have to buy any fuel for a year or so, which, in the course of a year, means quite a saving to any household. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1901 PASSING EVENTS Concerning Men and Things During Past Week. A BRIEF REVIEW Constitution Follows The Flag- Vice In London Being Fought- Carnagie Continues to Contribute—Keep You Eye on Sidney-Australia's 1900 Product—Albany New York,s Second Horror—Union Mon Responsible. The long-expected supreme court decision as to whether the constitution follows the flag or the flag follows the constitution has been finally handed down and the members of the supreme court are unanimous in their opinion on the vital point at issue, which is, "The constitution follows the flag." That is to say, wherever the flag has been planted on foreign soil by force of arms, then the constitution of the United States can be so expanded as to cover such foreign possessions. The five points which the supreme court settled in this decision are as follows: 1. The constitution follows the flag. 2. The United States can have no subject colonies. 3. Puerto Rico and the Philippines are now war territory and are not yet integral parts of the republic. 4. They must be governed as war territory until congress acts. 5. Congress has power to withdraw the flag and relinquish possession of them. This will set at ease the minds of many of the leading legal lights of this country, as well as some of the most profound statesmen, who have argued to the contrary of the decision herein refreshed. Even London is all stirred up over the human vice question, and at a large meeting held in Westminster town hall, at which the heads of most of the churches were present, the question of municipal vice was discussed at length, as well as with fervor. It was declared by them that the public men of the country feared to touch upon this vice question one way or the other for fear they lose some of their political prestige, which same thing is quite true of the public men of this country. Though the vice evil is on the increase, which must be apparent to all persons of sound judgment, yet no steps are being taken by them as public men to curtail its encroaching influence. With the same conditions of affairs prevailing in the "old country" as does in this country, the outlook, to say the least, is rather discouraging to those persons struggling to bring about a more healthy moral condition throughout the entire world. Even men belonging to some of the Christian churches are completely deaf, dumb and blind to the immoral status of affairs such as are to be found in the various cities of the land. This London meeting publicly declared that even the police officers of that city were in collusion with the various forms of vice that are so prevalent there and that they were using their official position to aid and abet its continued perpetration, which, if true, makes it an almost utter impossibility to suppress the growing vice evils that are so common to the large cities of both Europe and America, as the same thing is charged up to the police in this country. When Andrew Carnegie, the world's greatest philanthropist, declared that he would never die rich, the average citizen smiled almost in derision, for very few, if any, ever believed that he would put this threat into execution, and, owing to the vast amount of wealth that he had accumulated, it seemed almost impossible for him to give it away, but subsequent developments have quite destroyed the fallacy of the allegation, as recently, notwithstanding Mr. Carnegie's gigantic library gifts in the various parts of the world, he has made a donation of £2,000,000 or practically $10,000,000 for the education of Scottish pupils in four universities—Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and St. Andrew's. Though Mr. Carnegie still has millions left for distribution, yet at the rate he has been giving it out for the past twelve months no doubt but that if the Lord will only spare him for twelve months more he will die as he begun life—a poor man. Last Sunday's syndicate letter of Frank G. Carpenter written from Australia disclosed the fact that Sydney, with a population of 450,000 and in about the same latitude as New Orleans does more business from a commercial standpoint than any other city of its size on the Western continent, and that the average business man of the United States had better keep his eye on this city or he would loose a great point. Speaking about Australia and its industries, as well as the rapid growth it has shown, the following wil be of interest to the average reader and the commercially inclined business man: Last year the total value of the products of Australia amounted to $550,000,000 apportioned as follows: Pastoral', $150,000,000; agricultural, $140,000,000; mineral, $100,000,000, and manufacturing, $160,000,000. Australia's wool crop alone amounted last year to $100,000,000. No country on the globe has embarked more extensively in sheep raising than Australia, and she is reaping magnificent results from her enterprise in this respect. Her ranches last year contained 100,000,000 head of sheep. In deposits of gold and silver Australia is fabulously rich. In 1850 the value of her gold output aggregated $1,800,000,000, and since 1880 the value of her silver output has reached $150,000,000. She is much richen in gold than in silver. Her silver deposits were not discovered until comparatively recent years. Australia's climate is varied in character and favorable alike to agricultural and manufacturing operations. If she continues to develop at the present rate there is no telling wht condition of prosperity she will ultimately reach. The city of Albany, N. Y., seems to be doomed and destined for troubles of the most serious and fatal nature. A fortnight had barely passed since the clash between the strikers and the officers of the law resulted in the death of a number of its citizenz and the serious and fatal injury of a still larger number, before the wrecking of two street cars on account of two motormen racing with their cars to see which could be first on a switch, resulted in the cars colliding and the killing of five people and the serious injury of some forty more. If it really be true that these men are criminally responsible for this wholesale destruction of life and property, the electric chair is altogether too mild a punishment for them. The street car men of Albany gained their point not many days ago in their strike, and none other are employed but union help, supposedly of the most trustworthy type, on account of long experience and service, and now, if this class of motormen have wilfully and maliciously caused this great disaster, the ones personally responsible for it should be punished for murder, and the union as a whole should be forced to surrender all claims they have on the street car company to maintain union men. McClure's for June is on the market and as usual full of the very best reading matter. The following subjects are treated in this number: The Gainsborough "Duchess of Devonshire;" "Women," by E. S. Marton; Boston; "A Plain Clothes Man's Town," by Josiah Flynt; "The King's Gold," by Robert Barr; "Bobolink," by John Burroughs; "Geology and the Deluge," Prof. Frederick E. Wright; "An Old Fashioned Wooing," Ellsworth E Kelly; "Within the Gates," Elizabeth Stuart Phelps; "Recollections of the Comedian," Clara Morris; "Pike's Peak or Bust," Edwin Lefevre; "A Born Farmer," Sarah Orne Jewett; "The True Story of Kebeth the Aluet," Frank A. Vanderhip; "Kim," Rudyard Kiplinger; "Crownshield's Brush," David Bray; "Notable Books and Authors," by the editor. In another column of this paper will be found a very interesting letter from Edward Baker, who is now confined in the county jail, having been convicted of burglary, which was committed at the Leary cou mine. Mr. Baker denies any participation in the unlawful act and his attorneys declare that the state failed to prove his connection, but circumstances in which Baker did not fully explain away lead to his conviction. If it be true that the man is not guilty, it is hoped by this paper that persons of color will interest themselves in the matter and help the young man save himself from utter ruin.

RELIABLE FACTS England's Telegraph Experiment—Remarkable Polish Wedding—Distance Through the Earth—Klondike Royalties and Revenues—London's Population—Mint's Coinage—Uncle Sam's War Expenses—World's Wheat Crop Since Record Has Been Kept. Africa is said to have 200,000,000 people who have never seen a Bible or heard the gospel preached. An argument against government ownership of telegraph lines is found in England's experiment in this matter, she having lost $55,000,000 since she first took hold of them, and her annual loss in operating telegraph lines at present being $3,500,000,.. Speaking about California, the Golden Gate state, it is learned from an official source that it is 850 miles long and contains 158,000,300 square miles. At a marriage in Poland recently the bridegroom was 88 years old while the bride was but 18. In attendance at the wedding were eleven sons of the bridegroom by a former marriage, the eldest of whom was 60 years old and the youngest 41. There were also present of the bridegroom sixty-three grandchildren, thirty-nine great - grandchildren, twenty-one children of the fourth generation and four of the fifth. The famous Black Bull inn of London, the house in which Sarah Gamp laid the scenes of "Sairey's Tea Talks With Her Friend Betsey Prig," is to be torn down. The house is 300 years old and is near the home of Dickens. Sugar is said to have made its first appearance in Europe in A. D. 1625, coming from Asia. Scientists now claim that they have made accurate measurements of the earth and its diameter through the equator is 7,926 miles. The earth according to this report is flattened at the poles, which is proven by this measurement. It cost $500,000 to complete the work. Reports from Mexico say that the volcano Popocatepal was used as a source for sulphur more than 400 years ago. The state of Florida has decided to continue its convict lease system to the highest bidder for another four years. The government of Russia has issued an edict against school girls wearing corsets, to which the corset makers reply, corsets worn by school girls under 14 years of age are harmless, as they are never tightly laced. From statistical reports it is learned that there are 12,000 persons in this country engaged in making lamp chimneys. The average wages of 73,845 employees of industries in New Hampshire was $354.42 per year of $6.85 per week. The fire at the home of Thomas B. Wanamaker, near Philadelphia, consumed rare paintings valued at $500,000. Capt. A. B. Lucas, the first man to strike oil near Beaumont, Texas, has been sued for $4,000,000 by Patillo Higgins, who claims to have given him information of the whereabouts of oil. Up to 1901 the Canadian government had collected royalties from the Klondike placer mines amounting to $2,040,192.61. The same government has received revenues since 1896 from the Yukon territory amounting to $4,376,673.16. The coal product of Great Britain represents 50,000,000 horse power per annum or the work of 500,000 working people. The Fifth Avenue hotel of New York is to be torn down and a hotel sky-scraper twenty-five stories high is to be erected in its stead. It is learned from a Chicago paper that there are 200,000 pianos in use in Chicago. Fifty years ago there were not over 200,000 pianos in the entire United States. The world's wheat crop for the year 1900 amounted to 2,586,564,000 bushels, of which the United States produced 522,230,000, or near one-fifth of the entire amount, which was more than any other country in the world produced. Since complete statistics have been kept of the wheat crop the following figures will show the amount of wheat raised each year: 1891, 2,432,322,000 bushels; 1892, 2,481,805,000; 1893, 2,559,174,000; 1894, 2,660,557,000; 1895, 2,593,312,000; 1896, 2,506,320,000; 1897, 2,234,461,000; 1898, 2,942,439,000; 1899, 2,768,295,000; 1900, 2,586,564,000. The $5,000 left by Benjamin Franklin, who died in 1790, to the city of Philadelphia, and the same amount to Boston, have accumulated to quite large sums of money at present. The Boston fund amounts to $366,880, while the Philadelphia amounts to $100,000. Greater London has a population of 6,578,784. The outer ring of the great city's suburbs is populated by 2,042,750 human beings. These suburbs have grown from 631,831 in 1871, 950,577 in 1881 and 1,405,489 in 1891. The coinage of the mints from their establishment in 1792 to June 30, 1900, amounted to a total of 3,594,582,289 different pieces, of the aggregate value of $2,996,763,242.27 Gold coins amounted to $2,167,088.113; silver to $796,171,159.55, and minor coins of nickel, bronze and copper, to $33,503,962.72. It is estimated that the United States has expended $18,722,000,000 in prosecuting wars during the century from 1800 to 1900, and that the total cost of all wars in the world to the combined governments has been $49,068,000,000. THE COMPLETE MERCHANT Many colored young men, inflated with self-importance and overweening vanity, consider themselves the possessors of all those qualities which constitute the gentleman and the sage business man, when, as a matter of fact, they are quite the reverse of the one and merely tyroes compared to a genuine type of the latter class. A mistaken idea of this character at the outset of a youth's social or business life not only promises ill for the future, but if uncorrected, ultimately tends to an irretrievable catastrophe. The true gentleman is not an artificial character. The qualities that mark him—that subtle and indefinable something which admits of no mistake being made—are inherent in him and the various social processes which polish and refine there attributes develop but do not create them. The most zealous and constant perusal of a book on etiquette will not make one polite. It is not enough to wear good clothes and to wear them well; for the vicious if sufficiently affluent may don appear that would eclipse all the gorgeous raiment of an Eastern potentate. Gentlemanliness is not put off and on with one's clothes. Nor is an absence of those faux pas or little gaucheries that amuse us in the nouveaux—riches to be taken as an indication of the true gentleman. The ability to converse in elegant phrases, the possession of a handsome face, liberality, savoir faire, equitable temperament, social accomplishments, such as dancing and singing, the ability to please—none nor all of these constitute the gentleman. All of these various attributes are necessary, but in themselves are not sufficient. Cardinal Newman gives us a descriptive definition of a gentleman in a monograph on this subject. "A gentleman is," the prelate states, "one who never intentionally inflicts pain on another." This definition is excellent, but hardly definitive enough. Edmund Burke likewise descriptively defines this part of the human character when he writes: "There is an intangible something which seems to permeate the very atmosphere about his person that makes us instinctively aware when we are in the presence of a gentleman." Edgar Saltus says: "It is not a rigorous adherence to the correct code of morals that makes the gentleman; it is rather the possession of natural grace combined with correct manners and elegance of speech." This later view is decidedly a twentieth century one. Perhaps the three versions taken as one will prove sufficiently explicit to convey as exact a meaning of the term as it is possible to suggest. In like manner the requirements are numerous to make the complete merchant. Merely to buy and (Continued on Page 50). LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS Christianity Rapidly Gaining on Paganism. CUTTING OUT HELL Presbyterians And United Breth-ern Drop It From Their Rituals — Michal G. Mulhal Collects Data Concerning World's Christians — Catholics Lead The World With Methodism a Close Second — Other Denominations Doing Well. If the various religious denominations do not eventually do away with "hell," then they will come pretty nearly doing so. The Presbyterians have already to some extent discarded it from their rituals and substituted in lieu thereof "eternal punishment," which is not so harsh to the ear as "hell." Now comes the United Brethren at a session which has just closed and has decided to strike the word "hell" from its ritual and substitute in lieu thereof "hades." For years different Christian bodies have been advocating the discontinuance of the word "hell," in the sense of it being an actual place of fire and brimstone, as has mankind been taught for lo these many years. Even Hardshell Baptists and Shouting Methodists do not take much stock in the hell and brimstone idea and the more advanced ones are now advocating that "hell" is the mere missing of heaven and the subsequent tortures of the soul in so doing. Perhaps there is no such place as "hell," but there must be a place of an opposite nature of hell from which those who do and live right in this world finally land, and even if the punishment there be no more than the tortures of the souls in the way of morse for missing heaven, that should be sufficient to prompt the living to seek to avoid it. Despite the adverse criticism that Christianity is not gaining ground, Michael G. Mulhal, the noted statistician, who has been at work along these lines for a good many months, has finally given out the following figures in regard to the increase of Christianity, its sub-divisions and its present status throughout the world: Beginning with Europe, the figures are as follows: Christians, 348,500,000; Mohammedans, 6,600,000; Jews, 6,500,000. In America there are 126,400,000 Christians and 1,300,000 pagans. No enumeration is made of Jews. In Asia there are 12,600,000 Christians, 109,500,000 Mohammedans, 200,000 Jews and 667,800,000 pagans. In Africa there are 4,400,000 Christians and 36,000,000 Mohammedans, 400,000 Jews and 91,000,000 pagans, and in Oceanica there are 9,700,000 Christians, 24,700,000 Mohammedans and 4,400,000 pagans. Summing up the world's religious population, exclusive of the Jews in America, the result is as follows: Christians, 501,000,000; Mohammedans, 176,800,000; Jews, 7-100,000, and pagans, 764,500,000. We are not able to understand why the Jews in America are not included in this table. Possibly the omission is purely typographical. We hardly think it likely that they could be included under the head of either Christians or pagans. Of course this enumeration is not based upon strict lines. Mr. Mulhall simply takes the world's population as he finds it and treats it broadly upon the score of religious affiliations and affinities without undertaking to be minutely accurate. For instance, he credits America with 126,400,000 Christians and 1,300,-000 pagans, dividing the population between the two. Classifying the population with anything like exacitude, we should say that America ought to be credited with 12,000,000 Christians. We seriously doubt if there are actually this many church members. Mr. Mulhall classes as Christians all who are not avowed Mohammedans, Jews or pagans. Another table which Mr. Mulhall furnishes is one showing the relative strength of Catholies and Protestants in the various missionary fields of the globe. India is credited with 1,190,000 Catholics and 534,000 Protestants; China with 1,116,000 Catholics and 88,000 Protestants; Siberia with 70,000 Catholics and 20,000 Protestants; Syria, 663,000 Catholics and 20,000 Protestants; Africa, 2,660,000 Mohammedans and 1,740,000 Catholics and 220,000 Protestants. Seattle is metropolitan in the extreme at present as she has a Lexow committee in full force and effect. Are you a striker? is a rather every-day question in Seattle just now. President McKinley and his party are again in Washington City and Mrs. McKinley seems none the worse on account of her homeward journey. And now comes the United States supreme court and declares that the Foraker act is perfectly legal, which we surmise strikes the senator just where he lives. "A milestone in the history of Seattle has just been passed. The Cayton trial for criminal libel has been finished."—The Times. "College-bred girls" are doubtless pretty tough animals in the shape of wives and mothers, but they cannot hold a light for "ill-bred" girls in that capacity. For some unaccountable reason the Daily Bulletin—the court paper—contiues to mix up in parisian and factional politics. Whose "organ" are you, anyway? Fruit Inspector Brown may not be a pest, but it strikes us that the fruit venders and orchardists of this county are fully convinced that Mr. Brown is a pessimist. If a few more church organizations will just take a good hard hit at hell, that much-mooted as well as feared place of punishment will have been wiped completely out of existence. Eight years ago The Seattle Republican threw open its doors for business and it is still doing business at the old stand. Since the closing down of the beer dispensaries in South Carolina the local demand is twice as great as the supply, which would lead one to think that those fellows have had a long dry spell down there and appreciate the freedom of the brewery. Five of the West Point hazers have been so badly hazed themselves that it is very doubtful if they know where they are at at this writing. The boys carried a good thing too far, and fully realize that now. Now that the Automatic and Independent telephone companies have joined issues and the one absorbed the other, the average citizen is wondering how long it will be before the Sunset will have absorbed the whole. Like Killkinney cats, we trust that McLauren and Pitchfork Tillman will eat themselves up in the political struggle in which they are now involved, and which they have agreed to settle by appealing to the people at the polls. On bended knees and uplifted hands 'Alexander McKinzie, the noted Nome miner, has begged the court's pardon for disobeying its orders and is now free, having been fully pardoned for all past offenses. The court was particular that Mr. McKenzie's submission be full and complete before the prison doors opened to him. A fusion contemporary thinks as between voting for Hanna and Bryan at the next presidential election all good citizens will have to take to the woods, all of which may be quite true, but from that we are inclined to believe that this fusion contemporary didn't take to the woods last year, but voted for an A1 man, Bill McKinley. Frank G. Carpenter, a correspondent, says: "Keep your eye on Sydney, Australia." Mr. Carpenter had better be careful or Uncle Sam will have an army quartered in that city before Johnny Bull can say Jack Robinson. Your old uncle is looking for soft snaps just now. British millionaires do not seem to think much of Andrew Carnegie's giving spirit. Men greedy for gain never feel kindly disposed to philanthropists for disbursing their wealth among the poor, and this probably accounts for the British being in bad humor at Carnegie. Memphis is entertaining some 50,000 Confederate veterans and their sympathizers this week. Though Memphis for the most part is made up of Northern ideas, owing to a great amount of Northern capital invested therein, yet for this week she is pretty well covered with Southern mossbacks. Our public schools were kindly remembered by the tootting "boys in blue" who saw service in the early sixties, when the nation's life hung in the balance, yesterday. Young America in these old men see living examples of what America has done for self-preservation. It is going to take $1,200,000 to carry on the civil government of Manila, and the natives are paying the bill in the shape of taxation. Taxation seems to be a monster of such hideous mein that the Fiiipinosl are devoured by it in whosoever's hands they fall. The Presbyterian general assembly has revised the confession of faith which has been in operation in that church for so long. "Wise men change their minds, but fools never," so goes the adage, and this probably accounts for the right-about face of the Presbyterian assembly. Just because Carter Harrison has been three times elected to the mayoralty of Chicago, the Democrats are advocating him as a presidential possibility. Seattle has a mayor that has been three times elected to the mayoralty of Seattle. Now, wouldn't it be a huge joke if the presidential ticket of 1904 would be Humes versus Harrison? All this grandstand play to the galleries on the part of certain Caucasian editors about this being a "white man's country" is the most peurile rubbish that could be dished up to the average reader. No one is doubting or denying but this is a white man's country, and when a hundred Japanese get employment at some point or place it is no proof that Japanese labor is supplanting white labor, and the rule might be applied to any other nationality that is getting employment in this country. If we make no mistake there are other countries besides the "white man's country" in which the white man is playing a rather conspicuous part in such country's affairs just now and it might be well to give and take in these matters.

If what The Re- publican has said concerning Chief Meredith be libelous, then every newspaper in the state of Washing- ton has libelled some one of its read- ers and its editor is subject to arrest and punishment according to law at any moment. In fact, it is impos- sible to run a newspaper in this state without infringing upon the legal rights of some one, and that, too, regardless of the fact that the some one may be a public official, and should be reprimanded either vy & newspaper or some person repre- senting the public by word of mouth, If what this paper said concerning Chief Meredith be libelous, then the: Star, The Times and the Post-Intel- ligencer have all said enough about the chief and the police department in general to cauce the arrest of their editors, and, if convieted, their in- carceration the remainder of their natural lifetime. Whether under the| broad interpretation of the statute or under the technical terms of the law, the editor of this paper has li- belied any one, itis yet for a jury of twelve men, good and true, to de- cide, but the law has been laid down by the trial judge, and, if it be as he has laid it down, then, as said above, there is no further use for any one attempting to run a newspaper in the interest of the general public in the state of Washington. *he mere fact that the editor of this paper is of a different national- ity than the entire editorial frater- niy of the state does not remove the fact that some one of the many may inenr the displeasure of some reader of their paper, who will cause the county attorney to file an informa- tion against him in the superior court charging him with libel One's color often saves him in this country from many inconvenience: that he otherwise would not have had were he of a different color, but if this libelous proceeding which is now before the courts of Kins county is sustained and a precedent is set, then no newspaper man in the state will be exempt from such precedent, even though he may be white instead of black. It is per- haps the first instance in the history of the state where an editor has been arrested for criminal libel under the ‘same circumstances as was the edit’r of this paper, and its outcome must have been anxiously watched by every newspaper man in the state. The editor of this paper does not believe that any other newspaper man will be arrested on the same charge, neither now or in the future, for if they would the public press would be so completely muzzled that no newspaper would dare to say one word toward criticising a man in public office, even though it knew that such public official was as corrupt as the blue hinges of hades. It is here repeated that it is mosi remarkable that one man should be arrested for innuendo allegations, as says the county attorney, when wholesale direct charges against the same man are being made all over the city every day and no arrests made. ‘The complaining witness against the editor hereof sat and listened to a man pub- licly tell in court that he was a bribe taker and shared in the profits of public plunderers of the most damnable type, and yet he has not made one single move toward having that man arrested for either libel or perjury. If Considine was not telling the trath, he was not only guilty of libel, but he was also guilty of perjury, and conviction of the for- mer might mean a heavy fine and jail sentence, while a conviction for the latter would mean a Jong term in the state penitentiary. If the hands of the chief of police were as clean as he would have you believe, when he caused the editor of this paper to be arrested and put on trial for libel by innuendo, then it stands to reason he would take advantage of this open opportunity and hav this man, an arch enemy, arrested on both a charge of libel and perjury; | but as said-above, he has not done |this and has not even intimated that Ihe intends to do it, but has simply ‘countered that move made by Mr. Considine by closing up the places of vice run by Considine and his friends, which would seem to say, if you persist in telling news out of Sehool I will get even with you for so doing under the cover of my of- fice. A One of the striking characteristics of the American people is fairness— fairness to the very core—and when the general public has been properly informed on this embroglio, there is no doubt but that it will render a fair and impartial verdict upon it. Tt will demand of Chief Meredith to fully explain why he takes it to heart to such an extent when one man calls the publie’s attention to the condition of affairs in which he has the oversight and yet smile and take it good-naturedly when another man not only calls the public's atten- tion to the awful municipal condi- tion of affairs, but actually charges him with grave crime. Of course the former in this instance was of a different nationality to Mr. Mere- dith, while the latter was of the same nationality, and that may to some extent serve as an clixir for his bleeding and injured heart, but this is no explanation to go before the publie with. If he is guilty of those things, it makes it none the wore if he is told about it by one man any more so than by another, the nation- ality of the man to the contrary not- withstanding. For this reason The Seattle Republican believes with all of its heart that the people of this community will carefully consider the points herein set forth and judge all men, regardless of their national- ity, as the facts would warrant. ‘This is the defendant's case; render your verdict as you see fit, Some of our local contemporaries have seen fit to say that the Cayton case was no more or less than @ po- litical mix-up between parties and factions, which, if true, would seem to indicate that the faction common- ly called the “Humes faction” has come ont of it with its gar- ments much besmirehed. ‘The Republican does not believe that the affair is so much of a political mix-up as a moral mix-up, and so far as it is personally con- cerned, whatever it has done along this line has been done from a moral standpoint and with a view of at least strengthening what is common- ly known as the church element in this city, that a municipal adminis- tration may be put in power next spring that will run this city on a plan of decency, and not run it as a resort to which thugs, holdups and surething men of all kinds, classes and descriptions and from near and far are permitted to congregate and ply their nefarious trades under po- lice protection, for when crime is be. ing committed and is not suppressed, regardless of the kind of crim: it is, those in authority are responsible for the committing of such crime, and especially when they make no efforts to suppress it. ‘This is being done in this city, and has been done for the past three years or more, and apparently it will be done until the present administration has been driven from power at the next general eleetion—if the public is Kept posted upon the ways the city is being mismanaged, and this The Republican proposes to do from time to time, God being its helper. Seattle is now in the throes of a Lexow committee, like unto the one in New York some years ago, which resulted in a compiete clean-out of the official stables of that city. Whether the present committee will be able to establish the fact beyond a reasonable doubt that crooked work has been going on in this city remains to be seen, but according to the ideas of many persons who have given the subject much thought and consideration, a prima facie ease has already been made out against the chief of the police and others under him, and perhaps even others over him. An investigation is being con- ducted behind closed doors, which is not meeting public approval very generally. Some how or other the public wants to hear those investiga- tions and as the Lexow investigation was the pioneer along this line, and as it was conducted in open court, it is claimed that this investigation in this city should pursue a like course.

Ward Co., who 30 suecessfully revived “Ten Nights in a Bar Room,” will appear at the Third Avenue theater next week “n an entirely new line of work, the great Bowery melodrama, entitled “Through by Daylight,” furnishing the attraction. This. great piece from the pen of the well-known writer, J. J. McClusky, will certainly draw crowded houses in this popular play house, _ The story of the play is the ol story of the girl of high birth being forced into a life of hard work through circumstances not under her control. The villain, of course, appears and does his utmost to drag the girl down into a life of shame. Mickey Corrigan, the honest, Trish lad, portrayed by Mr. Ward himself, furnishes the comedy of the piece. and as Mr, Ward’s well-known quil- ities in Irish character need no 1n- troduction, it is enough to say th this particular part is one of his 1a- vorite characters, and one in whi-h he never fails to put forth his best efforts in depicting. ‘The rest of the company have been given parts which are particularly suited to each and a fine production is assured. ‘dike. tase tacseecaien® “Sag Harbor” graces the Ameri- can stage with another idyl of rural New England home life—Charles W.

THE COMPLETE MERCHANT to sell, to know how to make a shrewd bargain, to understand the qualities of common articles of merchandise, all of these profit one but little if his business education stops here. One who is ignorant of the grander uses of trade and who lacks even rudimentary education may possess this knowledge, and yet no one would mistake such a man for the genuine merchant. After religion, commerce is the greatest civilizing agent that has ever influenced the world. National isolation inevitably results in barbarism. National retrogression and a decadent commerce are coincident. Phoenicia was made great more by its mercantile than by its military class. It is remembered today by the student of history not for its paltry wars, but for its magnificent commercial conquests. No doubt the nation's contiguous to it were equally puissant, as far as martial prowess is concerned, but they lacked the incalculable advantages which accrue to a people from its mercantile character. Egypt was its great contemporary and similar; Greece followed in its footsteps, and Rome took it as its antique. The merchant who fully understands the nobility of his calling occupies a position pre-eminently superior to that of the mere trader. Narrow-mindedness is no ingredient of his character. He loathes the sordid and dishonorable machinations by which men in ordinary life overreach one another. He is a patriot in the truest sense—but not an intolerant one. He never fails even in the most punctilious honor. He is not content merely to amass a fortune and to enjoy its uses. His view of society is keen and comprehensive. His intercourse with differ- and parts of the world emancipates his mind from egotism and prejudice. He feels it his duty to introduce into the community of which he is a member all such improvements which are to be found elsewhere. Thus regarded, commerce becomes a liberal interchange of ideas as well as of merchandise. Of course to make it so, in a practical sense, those who engage in it must be equipped with intelligence, refinement, a feeling of fraternity and an acute sense of truth. The Negro who enters on such a career should feel respect for his avocation. He should qualify himself by self-culture, by education and by a rigorous adherence to all the virtues, if he aims to become a complete merchant and desires ta attain more than local prominence in his calling. No man can have a more laudable ambition than that. It will task all his powers and give room for the exercise of his best faculties. What a pity it is that so many colored Americans with such a glorious career before them are contented to remain all their lives, with no loftier ambition than that of conducting a medicine business in some unknown village. Why do they not, inspired by the true American spirit, rise superior to their destiny? "Man is the architect of his own fortune," is a trite but a true adage. Failure is attributable only to one's own mental or moral deficiencies. To him who carnestly desires it, success will surely come, and coming will bring that reward, to gain which is man's highest earthly gueron. EDWARD BAKER A billion dollar gas company has just been granted a franchise to operate in Seattle. "Dollar gas" may not be in sight, but double gas seems near at hand. (Application No. 103) All the foregoing tracts are as shown in the attached form of the Seattle Tide Lands, filed in the office of the State Land Commissioners at Olympia, Washington, on the 15th day of March, 1943. Said tide land will be sold for not less than the appraised value and subject to the conditions set forth thereon, and as appraised by the Board of Commissioners in the manner provided by law, a statement of which is now on file in the Department of Commerce. Terms are: Under contract, one-tenth to be paid on the day of sale, and one-fifth to be thereafter on the first day of March of each year.
