Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Some Aspiring Seattle Politicians. Historical Society Frank H. Paul for Mayor Frank H. Paul for Mayor W. H. Vincent for Councilman S. F. Rathbun for Comptroller POLITICAL POT PIE. VOL. VIII, NO. 36 Frank The Republican is prepared to announce today that Frank H. Paul has withdrawn from the fight for a renomination of city comptroller and has positively announced himself as a candidate for the nomination of mayor, subject to the actions of the Republican convention. The candidacy of Mr. Paul has been brewing for a number of weeks, and it has been in the hands of well known business men of Seattle and his immediate friends. For some time he fought it with a vengeance, not wishing to be a candidate for the place, but his friends finally prevailed on him to such an extent that he yielded and is now a full fledged candidate in opposition to Thomas Jefferson Humes. The Republican, like the business men of this city, has nothing but the highest praise for Mr. Paul, and can pay him no higher compliment than that he has been one of the most successful officials that ever held an office in Seattle. That he is popular to the letter is plain to be seen, for when he decided that he wanted a renomination for comptroller no one would enter the race against him, owing to the fact that he was so popular, not only among the voters, but among the Republican office seekers. Should the W. H. Vin W. H. Vincent was born in Illinois in 1863 and removed from there to Wisconsin in 1865, where he attended common school and one year at Carroll College, Waukiah, Wisconsin. At the age of nineteen he entered the employment of the National Exchange bank of that place, remaining with them nine years, holding the responsible position of book-keeper, paying and receiving teller and was twice appointed town treasurer. He removed to Seattle in 1891. Mr. Vincent opened the first rental agency in this city and by careful management and upright business methods from year to year has succeeded, and at the present time is considered one of the staunchest rental, loan, real estate and insurance dealers on the Sound. Two years ago he was urged to accept the nomination for S. F. Rath In withdrawing from the comproller fight Mr. Paul opens up new fields for conquest and Samuel H. Rathbun, the present efficient city treasurer, herewith announces his candidacy for the nomination of city comproller. Early in the season a number of Mr. Rathbun's friends earnestly solicited him to become a candidate for mayor against Mr. Humes, but he would not listen to the proposition. "I do not want the mayorship and I will not have it and if you force the nomination on me I will leave the city rather than fill the office," was the plain statement made by him to those soliciting him to take the nomination. For a while he contemplated entering the city comproller fight, but finally gave away to Mr. Paul because his friends believed that Paul was deserving of a second nomination. Now he is a full fledged candidate for the place and if his record as city treasurer counts for anything he will be a POLIT The Pie-maker has a bit of news to announce to its readers concerning a gentleman, who at one time was conspicuous in Democratic and Populist politics in this county, and who subsequently had a whole lot of trouble in one way or another, which resulted in almost financially ruining him at this time. The person in question is none other than W. H. Heaton, who was at once time county commissioner of King County, and, as said above, prominent in Populist and Democratic politics. For some time past Mr. Heaton has been trying to get hold of a newspaper in which perhaps to turn loose his viles of vitriol that he had stored away since he was traduced and hounded to ruin by a certain Democratic prosecuting attorney, and he has finally succeeded, as Geo. B. Webster of the Issaquah Independent announced in the last issue of that paper that, "in the future W. H. Heaton would assume editorial charge of the Issaquah Independent." Now, if Harts do not ache from now on it will not be Heaton's fault. --- Republican convention see fit to nominate Mr. Paul he will make a most excellent campaign and it is here predicted that he will sweep the city by 1 at least 3000 majority. If there be a conservative man in Seattle, one who would weigh well every move he made in official circles, that man is Frank cent for Co councilman of the Second ward, where he had lived continually for eleven years, and was elected by a handsome majority, a majority larger than ever given any candidate from the Second ward on any previous occasion. One of the first matters taken up by him after his election was the abatement of a nuisance caused by open sewage in the southern part of his ward. For years the sewage and drainage from other parts of the city were dumped into this ward in many instances causing fever and sickness, but by his push and energy he has abated this nuisance, closing up those open sewers and drains and turning them into the south sewer tunnel, built nearly ten years ago for that purpose, and there has been a general cleaning up of odds and ends under his administration. New cross walks have been bun for Co PETER H. HARRIS TICAL PO It is learned from an Olympia paper that ex-Secretary of State James H. Price, formerly of Pierce County, but now of Thurston, and, by the way, a member of the city council of Olympia, is a candidate for the wardenship of the state penitentiary. Jim Price is a pretty good fellow and can give you the best con talk for your support for him to get a political office that you ever heard in this or any other community. Price is one of those everlasting office seekers. He never gets enough of holding office and he is always wanting an office. Electing him to one office and then give him a second term to the same comes no nearer satisfying him than if he was never elected at all. Apparently he has made up his mind that he cannot live without an office, and if it is not a big office that he can get, let it be a little one, just so it is an office. constable of Pierce County he rose to Secretary of State and from Secretary of State he has fallen to a ward councilman of Olympia, but it is an office and that to some extent satisfies the --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1902 H. Paul. If there be a man in Seattle that is loyal to his friends without rebuking his enemies that man is Frank H. Paul. In short, Frank Paul is an ideal Republican politician and the Ple-maker believes that he will beat H. Humes in the Republican convention despite the fact that the friends of Mr. Humes have gerrymandered the apportionment of delegates to Mr. Humes, own personal and political interests. Wherever you are let the watchword go forth that Frank Paul is clean handed and will make Seattle an ideal mayor. Not one stain or blot is to be found on either his political or private escutcheon, and it is here predicted that when he will have served two years as mayor of Seattle he will be in the same spot less condition. Mr. Paul is being backed as enthusiastically by men who two years ago supported Mr. Humes, as by those men who have been his friends since he has been in the city. When such men as E H. Gue, E C. Neufelder, P. D. Hughes and Frank P. Lewis join hands with such men as John H. Powell, Will H. Morris, E. L. Blaine and others of the same political stripe to push Paul's candidacy it stands to reason that he is the coming man. uncilman put in, more lights installed, streets extended and graded, work done, that was ordered by the council and in contemplation, which will be ordered, will amount to more than twice the improvements done under any term heretofore and the good work has only just begun. Mr. Vincent's idea of making a city is to improve it. He has under contemplation the securing of a large tract of land bordering on Lake Washington east of Thirtieth Avenue and between Leshi Park and the old pump station for public park purposes. He is being backed by the property owners of his ward. He was not intending to accept a second term until persuaded so to do by property owners. His renomination and election are practically assured. mptroller hard man to beat. Sam Rathbun, as he is known among the boys is a very popular young man and one that always makes friends, and it is believed that he has made a sufficient number of new friends to warrant him making this coming fight and he believing the same way has cast the die. For the past two years he has held the office of city treasurer and he would hold it for the next two had not the city charter fixed one term as the limit for any and all persons elected to that position. "The boys" are out in full force for his nomination for city comptroller and they believe that without a doubt he will receive the nomination by an overwhelming majority. He does not think of his strength as coming from this or that ward in particular, but from every ward and the results of the last convention and his record as city treasurer warrants him in so thinking. man until something else shows up. Probably he thinks he is in line for promotion again, and so he holds on to an office however small it may be in fond expectancy. Perhaps he would make an ideal warden for the state penitentiary because he seems to have a faculty of handling prisoners, but the Ple-maker is of the opinion that there are others in the state of Washington who might fill the position with as much ability as Mr. Price and who have not incessantly held an office ever since they have been in the state. Douglas County, this state, has imposed a license of $1,000 per year on every saloon that does business in that county. Now that Douglas County has taken a stand like that why cannot Seattle do so as well? The saloonkeepers are just as able to pay $1,000 in Seattle as they are over in Douglas County, where they do not get a third of the trade that they do in Seattle. When the voters of Seattle get in their booths at the election they should by all means not overlook this amendment to the city charter, but should place a cross before the amendment voting in the affirmative. Do not take it for granted that it will carry without your vote, but vote and vote for it and you will at the same time vote $100,000 annually to be poured into the tills of Seattle and at the same time tax no one for the same. The Populists of Seattle have decided to not fuse with the Democrats and the Silver Republicans any more, but on the contrary will name a full municipal ticket for the coming election. The Ple-maker is not prepared to say what has prompted this move on the part of the supposed Populist corpse, but if it succeeds in gathering any following whatever it will do not more than re-commission one of the vilest and most corrupted administrations that ever existed in a municipal west of the Missouri River for another two years lease of life. The Ple-maker is not inclined to dictate to either the Populists, to the Democrats, or to the Republicans, but it is inclined to say that the god citizens should be very careful or they will have a city worse by a hundred percent. than ever was Greater New York under Tammany's vilest and most corrupted chief. Now is the time to clean out the political pothouses and pests that have infested this city since the present Mayor has been at its head and it is hoped that the Republicans, Democrats and Populists who have any respect for the rising generation will join hands in doing so. The Young Men's Republican Club of this city gave their initial banquet last Friday night and on the whole it was a most excellent affair. The menu served by the proprietress of the Lincoln Cafe was a most excellent one and the Pie-maker is inclined to think that it was enjoyed by every one present as they all seemed to have gone there prepared to do justice to the menu. The program for the evening was carried out as printed with one exception and the treats were appropriate and well received. The president of the club, Mr. Geo. W. Dilling, was the first speaker of the evening and his remarks were loudly cheered by every one present. President Dilling then introduced the toastmaster of the evening in the person of Scott Calhoun. Mr. Calhoun did honor to himself in this capacity as well as to his club. To the toast "Our Club," Mr. Geo. B. Lamping responded and handled his subject with neatness and dispatch. "Our President" was not toasted as Mr. D. C. Conover was sick and unable to be present at the meeting. "Our Governor" by Walter A. McClure was heartily cheered by those present perhaps on account of the brevity Mr. McClure made of it. "Solid Front" responded to E. B. Herald was an excellent effort on the part of Mr. Herald and he made quite a speech though his prompter read too loud. "Young Men in Politics," to which Mr. William M. Ingles, so witty told the guests about, was the bill of the evening. No one thought that Will could talk, but he did it just the same. "Our Soldier Boys," was responded to by William B. Allison, who was introduced as a direct descendant of Senator Allison, who was recently elected to the United States Senate from Iowa for the sixth term. "National Guards," a splendid subject, but Lieutenant J. Howard Darlington seemed to have been afraid that he would talk too much about them. "Press," of all the most appropriate subject, was responded to by Plenny L. Allen, and as is characteristic of that family, he made the bull of the evening. Just why Mr. Allen should have tried to hurt men's feelings, who were there smoking the pipe of peace, nobody but Plenny Allen could tell. In future it is suggested that the club read Mr. Allen's speeches before he delivers them, especially on public occasions, "Our Duty to the Party," responded to by Robert Wright, was all right and was well received until it spun out too long. Mr. Wright was right for a while and then he got wrong by saying the right thing at the wrong time. The Plemaker has offered this in the shape of a criticism, not that he has anything personal against any of the participants, but because he has the good of the club at heart. He is of the opinion that the club would do well to either expel or muzzle one P. L. Allen and then on future occasions he would not compromise it as he did at their first banquet. The candidacy of S. S. Bailey for the Democratic nomination for mayor of this city has been finally announced by himself in the daily papers. According to rumor Mr. Bailey is a prince of good fellows and is popular FRANK P. MULLEN, COUNCILMAN-AT-LARGE M. H. Another candidate for councilman-at-large is herew announced in the person of F. P. Mullen, who halls from the Seventh ward. Perhaps no one in the city is more widely known than Mr. Mullen and his candidacy will with all classes, and unless J. W. Godwin looks well to his laurels there is danger of him losing what was supposed a week ago to be a sure thing. Mr. Bailey has been repeatedly urged to allow the use of his name in this connection, but until within the past few days would never consent to it.

Seeking the nomination for city comptroller is that most excellent gentleman, John Riplinger, who has so efficiently held various minor responsible positions since he has been a resident of Seattle. As deputy county treasurer he made an enviable record and as deputy city comptroller for the --- prove popular from the very outset. For years he has been a resident of the Fifth ward and has been a leader in the political affairs of that ward during his entire residence there. Recently, however, he has moved to the God, here is for the fur to fly in Democratic circum- cies until after their convention.

During the time Mr. Mullen has resided in the Seventh ward he has been proprietor of the Abbott House, one of the best known hotels on Pike street. Recently a local paper published that Mr. Mullen was proprietor of a saloon, which is a mistake. He has never been connected with a saloon in any shape, form or manner during his residence in this city and his house is free from the sale of intoxicant drinks, though Mr. Mullen makes no bones in being an anti-temperance worker. In the past he has contributed liberally or his private funds to help out the campaigns and on election days was always out during the entire time rushing men to the polls, and in many instances spending his own money to accomplish that end. He has been a faithful party worker and now asks a bit of recognition at the hands of his fellow partisans. the best of it and fight for their rights even if they have to do so at odds.

He gave way to him, however, in the convention after the voting had taken place, but it will be remembered by those who attended that convention that Mr. Riplinger was the strongest candidate against Mr. actual nomination. While his opponent for the place is a very strong and popular gentleman, it is thought by those who are managing his campaign that he is going to be a hard man to beat. If he comes into the convention having as much strength as he did two years ago it will not take much trading on the part of his managers to secure the nomination for him. As an accountant and financier Mr. Riplinger is said to be one of the best that this city boasts of. He served for a number of years under City Controller Will H. Parry and the splendid system that Mr. Parry had in vogue while comptroller is said to be the product of John Riplinger's brain. He has been a most valuable assistant to Mr. Paul and all of these qualifications will lend much to his present popularity and make him almost undefeatable. He is a brilliant young man and the public would make no mistake in putting him at the head of the office. --- SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

Poetry written in English is bad enough, but when it comes to writing it in Dutch, Oh! take it away. Governor McBride's anti-Merger spiel has been played and so far as can be heard our old world wags on just the same. Humes wept when Paul refused to run on the ticket with him and he wept because he saw the handwriting on the wall and it was for him. Emperor William is just falling all over himself these days to get to play in Uncle Sam's back yard, just because he makes those lovely goo goo eyes.

Last Friday's blizzard in Seattle not only caused business to be completely suspended, but it did damage to property to the extent of $40,000. How's that for the Italy of America? Let all America stand motionless for the space of ten minutes when Prince Henry arrives and, like Joshua of old, command the sun to stand still until the Prince of sauerkraut will have been received. It is estimated that our Presidents, during their four years of official life, grant interviews to 20,000 citizens, and 99 per cent. of them, it is safe to say, either want an office or are boosting for the other fellow. Having finally plucked the Danish West Indies plum the United States is now easily mistress of the American waters and the famous doctrine of the immortal Monroe will become a stern reality. Most assuredly a French theatre would pay in New York for the reason that all theools in New York are not dead yet, and especially those who want to pose as being just from gay Paree. Both Nicaragua and Panama are dead anxious for the United States to dig bait in their domain. Evidently those little republic pretenses see signs of an impending storm and they desire to get anchored properly before it begins. Well now what's the matter with Mr. and Mrs. John Leary, when it comes to the contributing proposition? They have exhibited the true Seattle spirit in donating $2500 toward the re-building of the Trinity Parish Church. Pedestrians in Seattle did not stop to dispute Young America's demand for "track" during the recent snow escape, and especially when the boy was in full head-way on a bob-sled going down an incline at forty miles a minute. --- When will strange things cease to happen? The Walla Walla Argus, an unconstructed Democratic paper announces itself as the mouthpiece of the law and order people of that city. Jumping jeosaphat, a Democrat standing for law and order! Who ever heard of such? That female artist, who is now suing Russell Sage for $75,000 for having taken undue liberties with her 18 years ago, must be out of humor because he did not continue doing so. She has kept her sorrows pent up a long time to now turn them out for public sympathy. "TO EXCHANGE ANYTHING FOR ANYTHING" is the motto of a Washington City paper that has recently opened its doors for business. It is --- not a bad motto and if the manager can only get a little something out of it for his paper he will have made anything but a bad move. Chili and Argentina seem perfectly willing to kiss and make up if they could only get over the walls of war paraphernalia that now lies between them, and it is very dangerous for them to even try to step gently over them less an explosion occur and the whole be blown to smithereens. We grant that Seattle is 15,000 miles nearer Manila than San Francisco, but there seems to be no doubt of the fact that San Francisco is about 15,000 miles nearer the proper authorities at Washington than is Seattle, and that will have an important bearing on which one of the cities will be selected as the point of beginning for Manila transports. Just what any number of politicians could want in Chehalis the Bee-Nuget of that city failed to state in the same connection that it said, "the politicians were numerous in town last Saturday." The politician who would stop over in Chehalis must be that politician who had lost his way in the wilderness of politics of this state at present and finally pulled up at Chehalis where no other politician had ever been before. Lovett M. Wood's vicious attack on Harbormaster Jansen of this city was no more than the average citizen could expect from a man whose mind is as badly diseased with self-importance and self-superior greatness as is Wood's. Perhaps the only true thing that a Tacoma paper ever said about Seattle was that Wood was the most consummate nuisance as well as prevaricator that ever tread the streets of the Queen City. If what Senator Platt has recently said concerning his candidacy for reelection to the United States Senate be true, "my enemies have forced me to stand for the senatorship once more," then this is a new turn politics has taken. In the past we always thought it was one's friends who forced him into politics, but now Mr. Platt says it was his enemies. Politics makes strange bed-fellows and it likewise makes strange human beings. It was surmised in the very outset that Prof. Charles W. Pearson of the Northwestern University, who recently made a vicious attack on the Bible was looking for a bit of cheap notriety and things have evidently come his way as he is to be tried on a heresy charge and perhaps suffer expulsion from the Methodist fraternity. Probably this is a cheap way the Professor has to advertise some book that he contemplates publishing. The shrimp, who has editorial charge of the Tacoma Ledger, continues to pound away at the Negro who married the young white girl in that city the other day, and perhaps the Ledger does not hit him a lick amiss, only the Ledger does it from a prejudice standpoint except from a standpoint looking forward to making a better man out of him. The Ledger is just about as far off one way as the foolish couple the other way. From an exchange it is learned that an Italian boot-black in a New York town was recently fined $200 for refusing to black the shoes of a Negro on the grounds of his color. There is nothing wrong in this only it ought to have been some of the native born fools instead of the foreign tools that got the dose. The fool Italian would not have refused the Negro if he had not have thought that he was catering to the sentiments and ideas of the native fools. Our Whatcom contemporary is mistaken. Seattle is asking the national government for no more than are other cities in other states, and instead of you feeling jealous over Seattle asking for a $1,000,000 public building, you should join hands with Seattle and help her to get it, for it certainly will do you no harm as your city will never get a $1,000,000 building in a million years, and if Seattle can get this appropriation it will certainly help the entire state and especially the Western section of the state. A state exchange is of the opinion that this is a great country for skinners, men who do business by skinning everybody they possibly can and then after awhile skin their victim again and make him like it. This is an admission that would hardly be expected from a paper that preaches 365 days in a year that the dominant race in this country is noted for its mental greatness and is equalled by no other race of people on God's green earth. Those two statements do not seem to fit and we suggest that they be modified in some way or other. According to the Goldendale Sentinel Governor McBride always buys a 3000 mileage ticket and during his official career has never accepted a pass or any favors from the railroad companies, which, to say the least, is most remarkable, and if such statement is true, Governor McBride is one man in public life that can consistently fight the railroads, but men of his stripe are few and far apart. A man well up in fish lore is absolutely certain that fish sleep, which, perhaps, may account for their biting slow when some fellows go fishing. An Olympia paper is authority for the statement that Governor McBride is a close friend of John H. McGraw. This is the meanest thing said, so far, about the governor, and if it be true it will be well for all people to look out. Old dog tray was a descent sort of a whelp but his evil associates were what killed him off.—Everett News. You know as much about Governor McGrew as the devil does holy water. How much of the above is true we are unable to say, but there is one thing certain, Governor McBride could not make a better selection for an advisor than John H. McGraw, and this is said knowing that Governor McGraw will support Harold Preston for the United States Senate. There is always one thing to be said in Governor HeGraw's favor, and that is he is true and loyal to his friends, which cannot be said of a great many of those scoundrels who abuse him. Dr. Parkhurst last Sunday advocated from his pulpit that the soul of man died just the same as the body unless it was cultivated. Perhaps the scriptures do not teach in so many words the immunity of the soul from death, but Dr. Parkhurst, in our opinion, has not found anything in the Bible which would lead him to believe that the soul will suffer death. If it be true that the soul is not immortal, then the average man of this world, who has no care as to the immortality of his soul, would prefer to pass away like the beast and would pay no attention to the cultivation of his soul but leave it to the care of itself rather than to cultivate it for then when he died he would be free from care and worry. Dr. Parkhurst had not had an opportunity to advertise himself for a good while and he sprung this sensation, it would seem, as a new advertising card. ITEMS OF INTEREST.

As is the annual custom of those persons who claim Scotland as their home, the memory of Bobby Burns was celebrated last Saturday night in true Scottish style, not only in Seattle but perhaps all over the world, and especially where a sufficient number of Scotchmen live to hold such a celebration. The birthday of Bobby Burns is not only honored and revered by Scotchmen, but by every nationality whose privilege it has been to read his poems. While only Scotchmen generally participate in those celebrations, nevertheless the outside world is much interested in them and are always pleased to hear his countrymen sing praises to his memory and his nobleness of heart in general. January 25th with Scotchmen is like unto March 16th with the Irishman, who on that day wear the green in memory of Saint Patrick, their patron saint. Keeping green the memories of persons like Burns is as it should be and all nationalities should keep alive the memories of those men of their race and country who have proven themselves worthy of their lives being perpetuated. Frank A. Vanderlip, who for many yeas was a conspicuous newspaper correspondent, in writing as to the kind of literature business men should read, to the Saturday Evening Post, after discussing the various books, magazines and novels which a young man should read who is just beginning a business career, discusses at length the newspaper world. While he admits it is necessary for the young man to glance over the daily paper, he by no means thinks the daily paper one half so beneficial to the reader and business man as the weekly paper. The editor who carefully gets together the facts and figures and sends them out weekly, for a general thing can be safely classed as accurate, careful and reliable. He is of the opinion that the good business man will select one, two or perhaps more good weekly papers on which he will rely for his information and instruction, which is impossible to get from the daily paper, which jumps at conclusions and publishes statements one day that it cannot verify the next, or publishes things one day that it abolutely contradicts the next day. The weekly paper in his opinion is able to wait for developments and at the latter end of the week give to its readers a true and accurate statement of the facts on which the reader can absolutely rely, providing the paper is itself reliable, and it must be if it expects to succeed. After a most careful review of newspaperdom in general Mr. Vanderlip concludes by recommending ably edited weekly newspapers as proper reading material for a young man in business. The political checkerboard in the state of Alabama is to say the least assuming a phase that is attracting much attention both North and South. A constitution went into effect in Alabama last Thanksgiving Day, which was passed ostensibly for the purpose of disfranchising a large number of colored voters in that state, but, if reports be true, this new constitution will not work as smoothly as its promoters thought it would. In adopting the Constitution a clause as to the registration clerks was also adopted, which gave them the absolute say as to whom could and could not register in the state. Now it transpires that the Governor, the State Auditor and the Commissioner of Agriculture makes up the membership of the state board that appoints these registration clerks and all of those gentlemen are candidates for re-election. In the past the 60,000 and 70,000 colored votes in the black belt have been counted as casting a vote, whether they voted or not, and scheming politicians have used this to their own selfish ends. The present Governor of the state hails from the black belt and in the past he has used it as a political leverage to become Governor of the state. The Auditor is from the white belt and is radically opposed to the colored men voting. The commissioner of agriculture is an appointee of the Governor and it is natural for him to side with the Governor in appointing registration clerks. Now the belief is quite common in that state that the registration clerks in the black belt intend registering every colored man therein and use them toward the reelection of the Governor, and hence the Constitution, which was intended to disfranchise the colored voters promises to give them more power in future elections than they have ever had in the past. Some one has written, "all things come to him who waits," and this seems to be the case of the disfranchised voters in Alabama. A few days ago the legislature of the state of Iowa elected William B. Allison United States Senator for a term of six years, beginning March 4th, next. Remarkable man is this veteran statesman from the Hawkeye state, in the past he has been elected strictly on partisan lines, but at this election the Democratic members of the legislature joined hands with the Republicans and elected him by a unanimous vote. If Senator Allison lives to serve out his next term he will have been in the Senate continuously for thirty-six years, which will be a longer period than any other man has ever before served in that capacity. For a number of years Senator Allison was always presidential timber, but somehow or other that kind of lightning failed to strike him, though he held high his lightning rod hoping that it would do so. The statesmen living further East have succeeded in capturing this much coveted prize and always to Senator Allison's detriment, but now he gives it out that he will never again be a candidate for the presidency, and he has reasons for not being, for at present he is seventy-three years old and before he would get another opportunity to stand for the presidency he would be quite in his eighties, which would put him beyond the pale of presidential possibilities, more on account of his being an octogenarian than perhaps his non-bility to conduct the office. Senator Allison has crosses political swords as well as debates with America's leading and foremost statesmen and especially that class of statesmen that stood in the forum immediately before and after the Great Civil War. REALM OF RELIGION REALM OF RELIGION The indications at present give evidence of the early passing of evangelism and that a few more years more will see it fall completely into disuse. The world never expects to see another Moody and it is more than likely that church goers and religionists in general do not regret the fact, not that they have anything against Moody or that he did not do well in his work, but the conditions have changed since that time and humanity no longer cares to be rushed into accepting religious creeds under the exciting banner of evangelism. There will continue to be sporadic as well as spasmodic attempts at evangelism here and there and sometimes those leading the fight will be crowned with some slight success, but national evangelism is almost a thing of the past, and, as said above, no more Sankeys and Moody will ever startle the world with their evangelical powers. The attack recently made upon the Bible by Prof. Pearson, who was at the time a professor at the Northwestern University, located at Evanston, near Chicago, is the sensation of the hour among all classes of religiousists. Prof. Pearson's attack was like a clap of thunder from a clear sky as no one supposed for a minute that he entertained either any anti-biblical ideas or anti-creed ideas, owing to the fact that he was a prominent as well as conspicuous member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Periodically, however, such men come to the surface. Probably it is the hand of Providence that brings them to the surface, if for no other reason than to keep the true believers closer to the cause of Christ and to the sacred teachings of the Bible. There seems to be no more truth in the attack made by Prof. Pearson than those attacks made by Ingersoll and the other atheists, who have struggled to break down the influence of the Bible in the past, and the professor's words are but a re-hash of those in whose footsteps he is endeavoring to tread, who have long since retired from the firing line of Bible fighting. Bob Ingersoll and other atheists made fortunes out of their attacks on the Bible by selling their books and lecturing to the gullible and it is surmised that this late discipline has something similar in his mind. When Manila fell and became America's possession there were 1700 Catholic friars upon the various islands of the Philippine group. Of that number 1200 have already emigrated from the islands, the most of them going to South America and the other 500 contemplate leaving as soon as it is convenient for them to do so. It would thus appear that the Catholic religion will lose a large following in the Philippine Islands for no other reason than because the islands have become Americanized. It is claimed by those who seem to know whereof they speak that the 1200 friars, who have emigrated to South American countries, are now busily engaged in organizing new orders among the South Americans and in Brazil already there is eminent danger of a clash between the church and state, owing to the disturbances that the new friars have kicked up since they have settled therein. The most of the republics of South America are more or less under the influence of the Catholic religion and the superstitious natives seem quite susceptible of being taken advantage of by the educated friars, who organize orders among them with perhaps no other object in view than to relieve the natives of whatever spare cash they may have in their possession. Denouncing the civil marriage contract has been one of the things that they have fought in the new territory and this has brought about considerable trouble between the authorities and the church folk. A few weeks ago the splendid church edifice known as Trinity Church of this city was burned to the ground and left the worshipers, among whom are many of the leading citizens of Seattle, without a place to hold their Sunday services. It was a hard financial blow to the organization as it had but recently completely paid off their church debt and was enjoying the peace that follows such success, but their church burned and they were again plunged into the very depths of despair for a place in which to worship. The pastor believing that the members and patrons would rally to his efforts to erect a new structure set about at once to collect funds for the same. His appeal has been most liberally responded to and already hundreds and even thousands of dollars have been contributed for the new building. Mr. and Mrs. John Leary, who are now sojourning in California, were among the largest contributors to this fund, they having sent their check for $2,500. Other citizens have contributed quite liberally, if not so much as Mr. and Mrs. Leary and on the whole those having the work in charge are much encouraged over the outlook and believe that before two weeks more, they will have enough money collected and pledged to build it and pay for it as soon as it will have been completed. A few weeks ago there appeared in these columns a brief statement concerning the Mormon Church given out by Dr. Iliff, while lecturing in Seattle. At that time Dr. Iliff maintained that polygamy was being practiced in the state of Utah among the Mormons to an alarming extent, which had been revived since it had become a state. Here is a statement from the associated press sent out from Lincoln, Nebraska. "In the past missionaries in the Middle West states have been proselytizing among the citizens thereof by declaring the Mormon Church offered a plainer and better salvation than the other churches and had long since opposed polygamist doctrines. Recently, however, the missionaries have changed their language and are now preaching polygamy just the same as they did before it was broken up by the United States Government, and that they are succeeding is evident from the fact that during the year 1901 they made 66,000 converts." It is remarkable, to say the least, that persons born in a Christian community and having been taught during their entire life the nobleness as well as godliness of practicing morality would permit themselves to become a part and parcel of the religious organization that teaches and practices polygamous marriages. Persons who have come in contact with the Mormon Church are quite well aware of the fact its general tendencies are anything but elevating to the young mind or to the human mind in general. They are well aware of the fact that no organization in the country is so dangerous to the institutions of the United States as the Mormon Church and all such persons are perfectly willing to see it wiped completely out of existence and think the country well rid of bad rubbish. BROTHER IN BLACK Mr. L. F. Norris, formally of Guthrie, Oklahoma, in writing to his home paper, the Avalanche, concerning Seattle, uses the following language concerning the state in general and a few of Seattle's citizens: This is a great state and when fully developed will be much greater. It is very mountainous in a part of the state. But on the East side it is good for all kinds of agricultural products. Wheat from forty to fifty bushels per acre, apples, peaches and fruit of all kinds. Hay, the finest I ever saw. Potatoes are the very best and here they have regular seasons. On the west side the whole bosom of the earth is full of mineral, of coal, copper, iron, and many say gold. All kinds of vegetables grow on this side also. This season of the year it rains about half of the time, not enough, however, to stop men from outdoor work. It is very healthy throughout the state. This is a great city and greater people. The population is about one hundred thousand, of all races of people, it has all modern improvements, with the best street car service in the country, both cable and electric. Its ship yards, docks and lumber mills are the wonder of the age. The largest vessels that plow the ocean come within one block of the wholesale business portion of the city. I will write you concerning Hawaii in my next. I have made only one trip on the water since I came out here but will make another soon to the deep sea. Let me speak of some of the gentlemen of color, and what they are doing. Seattle has three attorneys at law of color all of which stand well at the bar. They are Mr. A. R. Black, a coming young man of many virtues; Mr. J. P. Ball, whose practice is confined mostly to civil law. Mr. J. E. Hawkins, better known, as the "fighting cock" of the Seattle bar, and is up to date on all matters political. Dr. Samuel Burdett, a veterinary surgeon and a watch dog of the race, doing all he can to make lynching odeous in the land. Mr. J. F. Cragwell is the boss barbershop owner of the Pacific coast, and making as much money as almost any other man in the city. Nature has given this man a peculiar endowment, while he is making much money he is also helping many people of his race. Let it be said of him though bright in the face, and white at heart, he never goes back on his race. May God bless all such. There is yet another great man in the city that the race should be proud of who is doing all he can to lift the burden of cast from the race and persuading men to look on the ```markdown ``` bright side and not always on the dark I speak of Editor Cayton of the Seattle Republican, one of the best and brightest Negro papers published. There are many others of whom I shall speak in the future. Respectfully yours, I. F. NORRIS. Mr. Norris has purchased property in this city and is now having a store and dwellinghouse erected, which, when completed, will be occupied by him and will carry a stock of groceries. He expects his wife and children to join him some time in June and they will take up their permanent residence here. It is noted that the University teams of Washington, Idaho, Oregon and California are to debate on what is commonly known as the "race question" of this country in the very near future. The University of Washington has selected its most able orators for the debate and it is surmised that the other state universities will do likewise. The question to be debated is: "Resolved, That the adoption of the fifteenth amendment was justifiable." The Republican regrets that the Washington boys are to take the negative side of this question, because it believes that none of the competing universities has as able debaters as D. A. McDonald and his colleagues of this city and it would have been highly pleased to have heard them debate the affirmative side of this question. If Mr. McDonald wins the debate he will win it from an oratorical standpoint and by no means on points of facts, because wherever the Negro is to be found in the United States it is plain to be seen that the fifteenth amendment has been the one thing that has elevated him from degradation to a higher and loftier plane of civilization. While the fifteenth amendment to a certain degree forces public recognition for the Negro it does not force social recognition, hence there is no probability of the two races conflicting from a social standpoint, and yet the fifteenth amendment, where it is observed, gives him the rights to demand his public rights, which he has in many instances done and the opposite race has been none the loser thereby. The proposition submitted to the colored folk of this country by the government of Tunis, Africa, a French protectorate, which invites hundreds and thousands of the American Negroes to emigrate to that country under most favorable auspices, is being widely considered and debated by the colored folks at the present time. In comparison with the citizens of the country of Tunis the Negro can be successfully classed as a skilled agriculturist and a mechanic and it is the intention of the government to settle a number of them among the natives and thereby set on foot a thriving colony in the Northern part of Africa. In the past, with possibly one exception, the French people have shown much consideration to their colored colonies and in France proper are to be found thousands of colored people, who lose their racial identity the moment they set their feet on French soil, and at once become a part and parcel of the great citizenship of that republic their color to the contrary notwithstanding. If therefore the French government can convince a sufficient number of leading colored men that Negro emigrants from the United States would be properly cared for and given sufficient funds to begin the battle of life in that far away land, it is more than likely that large numbers of them will favorably consider the proposition and begin at once to make preparations to leave for the new Eldorado in the fatherland. Mrs. C. M. Cribb, who is seventy-five years of age, has just been declared the oldest native daughter of Chicago. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Miller, pioneers of Lake County, in 1834 emigrated to a real village—"Chicago"—and lived there eighteen months, during which time a daughter was born to them, who is the present Mrs. Cribb.

It takes several hundred grocers to supply their wants. It is natural that competition is keen and prices down to bed-rock. That to succeed and retain the reputation of "LEADING GROCERS" we must sell the best quality at the lowest prices. The Advantage of competition cannot be enjoyed by out of town people, where trade is limited to dealers who do a small business and buy accordingly. During 1901 we filled thousands of orders from all parts of the state, also from British Columbia and Alaska. Many have sent TRIAL ORDERS just to see if there was anything in it. They have been convinced there is considerable saving. That our goods are first class and our methods of doing business honorable. They now order regularly and induce their neighbors to trade with us. Our Latest 80-page Catalogue is now ready.

I have nothing to say one way or the other about it." He left for Spokane last Tuesday evening. W. C. Dudley, the first Negro to do a uniform of a policeman in Chicago, was in the city this week. While on the force Bud Green and Dudley called the "bull-dog" pair, and a terror to evil-doers. Mr. Dudley now carries the scars of many a hard fought battle with thugs and thieves. It was currently reported on the streets that two companies of the Twenty-fourth or Twenty-fifth United States infantry, stationed in Alaska, would be in Seattle this week, but on inquiry at the office of the Alaska Steamship Company it was found to be a rumor, as the Dirigo has left Skagway without them. Before this issue of The Republican reaches many of its readers, the Lincoln cafe management will have changed, and George Rideout, "genial George," will be in charge of the crew. It is a matter of no little pride to the local man of The Republican to know that it was largely through his efforts that such a condition prevails. It is needless to say that the "portion over which" Rideout officials will be conducted as it should be.

An anti-German feeling is quite pronounced in England at present and Marie Korelli, the noted English novelist, is taking the lead in crystallizing the sentiment among the English. She claims that the King of England has been unnecessarily insulted by German journals. At Janville, Wisconsin, recently the Shakespearean play, Macbeth, was successfully presented by a company of blind students. The State University for the blind is located at that place and those students went through with the performance the same as if they possessed their full sights, not even stumbling on the stage. A convention of uturedot fiddlers was held in Atlanta not long since, whose membership, was made up of men who could not play by note nor could they play any kind of music except break-down. The convention gave a concert during its session and for two hours the primitive music of Georgia was once more heard as in days of yore. Chief Geronimo has a daughter Lola, commonly known as the Red Rose of the forest, who is a heroine at present. Hueston A. Wood, a wealthy young man of Texas, who owns many herds of cattle there one day while watching his cattle fell asleep under a shade tree. Suddenly a stampede broke out among them and immediate death stared him in the face. The "Red Rose of the Forest" took in the young man's unfortunate predicament at a glance and golloped in front of the stampeding cattle and bade the young man jump on the horse behind her and then began the race for life. They succeeded, and having saved his life, Wood has asked for the young woman's heart and hand and has been accepted. Bushnell, Illinois, is much alarmed over a female ghost, which makes its appearance in many sections of the city periodically. Many persons have been frightened almost out of their wits by meeting this velled apparation in heavy mourning, which disappears instantly. The ghost has been frequently followed but no one has ever been able to get up to it as yet. On the Aroostook River in Maine the beavers have built a dam of logs and mud 250 feet long.
