Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN historical Society Nomination is Godwin's Nomination is Godwin's urday, and who will give the Republi- given in this city. Mr. Godwin's party party is badly divided, and the concan nominee the hardest tussle for is a unit for his election, while it itention of today will not do very much his money that has ever before been must be admitted the Republican toward bridging over the breach. POLITICAL POT PIE. VOL. VIII. NO. 39 The results of the Democratic primaries last Tuesday evening show that J. W. Godwin, who has been previously announced as the leading candidate for the nomination of mayor, was successful even beyond his most sanguine expectation. Mr. Godwin swept the primaries like a cyclone, and it is conservatively estimated that there will not be to exceed eighteen delegates in the convention against him. The Republican wishes to announce right here that J. W. Godwin, who is one of Seattle's leading and most influential business men, is going to make one of the hardest fights for mayor that any Democratic nominee has ever done in Seattle, and if he is not crowned with the same success as was J. T. Ronald some years ago, it will be because his Republican opponent will be more popular than he, and this is aying a good deal. The man who has been as successful in business enterprises as has been J. W. Godwin would certainly make an ideal mayor for any city, and the Republicans of Seattle had better look well to their laurels in nominating a candidate for mayor or they will find that Mr. Godwin will sweep the field at the polls, March 4th next. Much has been said about Mr. Godwin's candidacy in these columns and The Republican takes pleasure in presenting in this issue the photograph of Mr. Godwin, whom the Democrats will nominate next Saturday, and who will give the Republic Both the Republican and Democratic municipal primaries are things of the past ond while they did not differ from previous primaries, yet like all other primaries they were fraught with anusing as well as comical incidents while in progress. Perhaps the reader has never attended a political primary, and, if not, then permit the writer to remark that you can find more political crazies at a caucus and primary election than at any other one place in the United States. Each faction seems to vie with the other as to which can do the greatest number of foolish things and every enthusiast there is rushing around through the crowd and trying to do something, when in fact there is nothing for anyone to do. They make motions, scrap and vote and revote and when they have done all the foolish things they possibly can do then they get down and do business in about ten minutes and adjourn and pat each other on the back, with the remark "how we skinned the other fellow." A few days ago the duties as trial attorney for the city in the police court fell to the pleasant task, perhaps, of I. E. Moses, a well known lawyer of the Jewish race in this city. Mr. Moses is full of snap and vivaciousness and when he puts his hand to the plow he pushes it along with a rush. He was turning off the petit criminals at a two-forty gait when he ran square into a man of his own nationality. The fellow was charged with being an idler, who pretended to be looking for work, but praying to God that he would never find it. After questioning him for awhile Mr. Moses rose, and with "may it please the court," roasted his countryman to a queen's taste and asked the court to show no lienency to him, but to give him the full extent of the law as there were Jewish societies in this city that would help any person of the Jewish race to secure employment. The young culprit gave Mr. Moses an "I want the diamon" look and took his seat, apparently disgusted with the whole world, and especially with Moses from whom he hoped a grain of mercy Ellis DeBruiller, who is city attorney for Seattle, is quite a diplomat in his own way, after having given Mr. Moses, the Jewish attorney, an opportunity to show the boys what he was, he further showed his spirit of diplomacy by assigning J. E. Hawkins, one of the colored attorneys of this city, to a similar duty. Now J. Edward, as he is commonly known among the boys, is exceedingly fond of public notoriety and as he disposed of one case after another with apparently the simple twist of the wrist, never overlooking for a second the dignity of his position, some fellow in the lobby gently shouted, "gee whiz, but ain't that a black cyclone." Perhaps no invention is more useful to the general public than the telephone system, and especially the long distance telephone. Recently the following conversation was heard over the wire: "Hello, is that you dear?" "Yes, how are you?" "I am well. Look for a letter from me tomorrow." "All right." "Good-bye." "Sweet dreams." And the two were again separated by hundreds of miles of space. It was a pleasant memory to both of them, but a few days later a bill was [Name not provided] presented by the telephone collector to the masculine end of the sweet dreams for $3.35, and since that time he has not had very many sweet dreams. Ever since that time he makes a break for the door when some one says he is wanted at the telephone. On the whole, perhaps, no class of men show more personal bravery than the policemen of municipalities, as it is one of the requisites for holding the office. If a policeman is not brave it would not take the average law breaker long to run him off his beat or arrest him and take him to the police headquarters in irons, but there are always exceptions to the rule and this exception was very apparent not long since when a policeman was sitting in a restaurant eating his dinner when all of a sudden a brick came smashing through the glass window, hurled by some infuriated hobo, who had been ordered out of the restaurant like a Kansas cyclone. Of course a terrible crash was the result, and those inside thought a sudden earthquake or something else had hit Seattle and began to seek safety. Somebody shouted for the police, but like a ghost the policeman who was there had vanished. The frightened guests let loose just a few gentle cuss words when they began to look for the policeman and found him crouched down under a table in a far corner of the room asking if anybody was hurt. Some one has said, "it is a long road that has no turn," which, it is very generally believed is quite a true saying, and when applied to Detective Sam Corbett there is no doubt about it. Detective Sam Corbett has had things his own way for a good many years. He has beaten up men and women without cause, slapped women down who disputed his word, drove persons out of town with and without authority, and in fact he has been an all around bad policeman, and his authority has never been questioned by anyone. If you wanted anything done, whether according to law or not, all you had to do was to get Sam Corbett, show him the white of your eye, and he did the rest, but, as said above, "it is a long road that has no turn," for recently-Detective Sam deliberately went out to a citizen's house and demanded the right to search it without either having a warrant or authority of any kind, save and except a most degenerated specimen of feminine humanity, who told Corbett that one of the inmates of the residence had stolen a sealskin jacket from her. The man of the house was not the kind that is easily bluffed and he gave Mr. Corbett to understand that if he searched that house he would do it over his dead body, and it was not done, but this was not the end of the affair. Corbett was reported to the chief of police, and ater the chief had investigated it he suspended him, and now the civil service board is investigating the matter, and it is highly probable that Sam Corbett has done his last detective work in the city of Seattle. It is rather remarkable how many suicides there are at present among the females of this city, and also rather remarkable that all of them should select the carbolic acid route for suiciding. Only a few weeks ago a foolish girl committed suicide be- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1902 cause another foolish girl, who posed as a boy, refused to love her, and during the present week two other women have deliberately committed suicide, one at least because she quarreled with her lover, and the other cause unknown. Both of them swallowed overdoses of carbolic acid, which resulted in their death in a few hours. To suicide in Seattle is becoming rather popular. Whenever a young girl fails to make the proper mash then she drowns her sorrow in a bottle of carbolic acid. Not many regrets should be lost over such silly females, and if there are any more of their stripe it is suggested that they go in cahoots and get a gallon of the fatal liquid and take it all at the same time and save further trouble and annoyance along that line. City Galler C. I. Grant died last Sunday afternoon, and his death caused many tears of regret to be shed by those personally acquainted with him. Officer Grant was the most popular man in the police service of this city. He was liked both in and out of service by everybody. He was one of the few men that never got his head swolled because he wore a blue coat and brass buttons and imagined that he owned the city. Good natured, jocular and affable were traits that predominated in his general make-up. He was always ready to play a joke on the other fellow and never took any exceptions when the joke was turned on him. Once Officer Grant went to Portland with the boys and they made up quite a conspiracy against him in the form of a huge but amusing joke. A number of the boys lost their watches and it was at the time when a great many hold-ups were common to the Northwest, and much comment was made on the supposed robbery. Finally some one accidentally run up against Officer Grant and to their surprise found the watches all snugly tucked away in his overcoat pocket. He could not explain the situation and showed much perplexity over it. Finally an officer was called and he was arrested, hand-cuffed and taken to the police headquarters. It did not show up as very much of a joke at that point to Mr. Grant and he began to cast around for some one to call upon to help him out of his dilemma, when some one gave him the horse laugh and he saw it all. It cost him a good many dollars to square the boys, and even after he reached Seattle he frequently had to go in and buy cigars for the gang. He took it all good naturally and always enjoyed the joke as much as the other fellow, regardless of the frequency it was told on him. --- If rumors be true, the late primary fight in this city, especially among the Republicans, was one whose principle ingredient was "hot air." As on previous campaigns, every ward healer to be found could handle his precinct delegation with perfect ease, but had to have so much money before he would give the candidate his support. Now this has been done so often and the candidates have been razzle-dazzled so much that both of the leading candidates were dead next this time, so the precinct manipulator was employed to do his work on a contingency. That is to say, that if he got the delegation and had it to vote a certain way first, last and all the time, he was to have a certain sum of money, and this sum was guaranteed by some responsible business man. If reports be true, this contingent proposition reached up into the thousands of dollars, and it is very questionable whether a hundred dollars on either side will be paid by the managers of the respective candidates because those precinct manipulators were not able to deliver their goods one way or the other. While some money was spent in the primary fight, yet it will be seen from the above that much more "hot air" was expended than money. The stewardess board of the A. M. E. Church of this city will give a campaign supper at the G. A. R. hall in the Collins block, Second Avenue and James Street, March 3rd next, at which time they will serve a most excellent dinner to the general public. Everybody is cordially invited to be present and partake of an old fashioned dinner prepared and served by the best colored cooks in the city. Rev. Scott of the A. M. E. Church says that the proceeds from the dinner will be applied to the church debt, which he hopes to soon have completely cleaned up. --- Only a few days left for you to get an interest with the most conservative fisheries company, where your money is not thrown away in large flaming advertisements, but is being used discreetly in buying just what is needed for the enhancement of your investment.

The Evergreen Literary Society, which made such rapid progress in the last half of the past year, appears at present to be in a state of lethargy. This is not as it should be, the talent is in the city, it is being manned by intelligent and energetic people, and just why the society should not prosper is a query that is on the lips of all who have an interest in the society.

Stoel a Candidate It's a Business Proposition. Shall the city of Seattle establish a municipal electric lighting plant? This is a question which should receive the careful consideration of every voter, as in the coming election he will have the opportunity to vote for or against it. The only good reason for establishing a municipal plant would be that by doing so it could save money for itself and the taxpayers. In case a municipal plant is established it can be used only for public lighting, or it can be used for this purpose and also for furnishing electric lighting and power to private consumers. Public lighting, that is, the lighting of streets and public buildings, is a distinctly public service, which must be provided for by the municipality. It is a service to every citizen. The city must provide for it either with its own plant or by contract with a corporation. The furnishing of electric light to private consumers is not a public service. Only a comparatively small part of the people use electric light. In the city of Detroit there were, in 1887, about fifty-five thousand (55,000) families. The gas company had 18,000 customers and the electric lighting company 4,000 customers. The balance evidently used oil for lighting—that is, less than one-tenth (1-10) of the people in the city used electric light. The proportion of families using electric light is probably about the same in the city of Seattle. If the city, after considering the matter carefully, should conclude that it could do its public lighting with its own plant for less than it would have to pay a private company for the service it would be entirely right for it to install a municipal plant. On the other hand, even if the city should figure that it could save money to private consumers of electric light, would it be advisable for it undertake this? These figures would be based entirely on estimates, which might be much too low. There would be the possibility that the city would lose money on this business, and in this case the deficit would have to be taken out of the general tax fund, thus taxing the whole people for the benefit of the small part of them that are able to afford the luxury of electric light. Considering the matter of public lighting, would the city be able to save money by putting in a plant for this purpose only? In this connection it will be of interest to quote from the message of the Mayor of Boston relative to public electric lighting, dated August 29th, 1898. This message includes a report made by ex-Mayor Mathews, who was appointed to investigate public electric lighting in various large Eastern cities. He made a very thorough investigation of the Detroit municipal plant. According to the report of this plant, which furnished 1,744 arcs, for the twelve months ending June 30th, 1898, the cost of operating, per lamp, was as follows: Coal and station supplies . . . $10 43 Carbons, miscellaneous supplies and expenses . . . 8 11 Salaries and wages . . . 34 50 Total . . . $53 06 The value of the plant was figured at $611,157.00. After considering the matter carefully, Mr. Mathews added the following items to give the total correct cost per lamp: Taxes ..... $ 4 34 Fire insurance ..... 82 Liability insurance ..... 1 49 Depreciation ..... 27 32 Interest at 4 per cent ..... 15 33 This, added to the operating expense, makes the total cost per acre per year $102.36. Allowing for the difference in the price of coal and water, and the fact that a large part of the wires were underground instead of overhead, as in Detroit, he figures that on the same basis this service would cost in Boston $134.57 per arc per year. He says in regard to this plant: "The management of the plant during the past year seems to be economical and uninfluenced by political considerations." In Chicago he found the operating expenses to be $87.38 as against $53.06 in Detroit. Making the proper allowance for depreciation, taxes, interest, etc., as above, brings the cost per arc per year up to $153.03. In regard to this plant he makes the following statement: "The information contained in the annual reports of the department of electricity is extremely meager respecting the construction and operation of the electric lighting plant; but I have not thought it worth while to spend the time required to secure all the data possible upon these points, for the reason that the annual cost to the city of Chicago of the lights operated by its municipal plant, is, as shown below, so very much in excess of the prices obtained by Detroit through its municipal plant, and by other cities, including Boston, through private contracts, that it seemed a useless expense to continue the investigation further for the purpose of cleaning up the ambiguities in the report of the electrical bureau, or for the purpose of ascertaining just what it is that makes it cost so much to run the Chicago plant. "The annual cost to operate this plant has always been in the nature of a public scandal; and although better results are being obtained by the present superintendent than under his predecessor in office, the figures still show either a very poor plant or a very extravagant management, or both." In St. Louis he found that the price was $74.95 per lamp per year, and the company supplying the service claimed that the business was being done at a loss. He says: "There can, I think, be no doubt that the price is little more than the cost of operation, without allowing anything for interest and depreciation, and that there is little probability that the city can renew the contract at anything like the present price." In Cincinnati he found that the price was $84.90 per arc per year. He says: "I should say that the Cincinnati price probably pays the company a profit without allowing anything for depreciation." LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 --- andidate te One of Seattle's cultured and most successful young business men is found in the person of H. T. Stoel, who is at present officially connected with the Crescent Manufacturing Company, with which concern he has been steadily connected for the past ten years. Though believing in the principles of the Democratic party, Mr. Stoel has as many loyal and substantial friends in the Republican party as in the party of his choice. The leading Democrats of this city, in casting about for a candidate for the office of city comptroller, decided to offer the nomination to Mr. Stoel, and all factions went to him in a body and prevailed on him to allow the use of his name in this connection, which, after much hesitancy, he did, and was selected from the fact that he was not only responsible and reliable, but was likewise very popular among all classes in this city. Mr. Stoel is at present one of the leading members of St. John Lodge, No. 9, Seattle Chapter, No. 3, Seattle Lodge, No. 6, A. O. U. W., and Select Knights, in each of which he holds an important office, which has made him even more popular than his business relations for the past ten years in this city could have possibly made him. While Mr. Stoel's Republican opponent will be a very strong candidate, nevertheless he will find in him a stubborn foe, and one that will be hard to down. Municipal voters are now, to some extent, going after the man instead of so much for the party, and it is more than likely that a large number of Republicans will vote for this popular young man, notwithstanding the fact he is on a Democratic ticket. position. on. In his conclusion he recommends that the city make a five-year contract with the Boston Electric Light Company at the rate of $127.75 per arc per year, with a reduction of ½ cent per arc per night for every 250 arcs added, which would bring the price down to $109.50 when the number of arcs in use reached 5,000. The contract was accordingly renewed on this basis. At Worcester, Mass., a joint standing committee was appointed to investigate the proposed plan of a municipal electric plant. After investigating the conditions in many other cities the committee found a certainty of increased cost over existing contract rates if municipal ownership were adopted, and recommended that it was not expedient to establish a city electric light plant. The price paid for street arc there is 2.86 per hour, which, on a basis of 4,000 hours for the year, is $112 per arc per year. This will show that the price for street lighting in this city, $72 per arc per year, is very low and that there is little, if any, profit in it, as claimed by the company furnishing the service. The company made a reduction in the price the first of this year, and promised a further reduction as the number of lamps is increased and their operating costs are cut down by the starting of their new station. One of the evening dailies published in this city has printed reports from various cities having municipal plants, stating that they were very successful and resulted in saving money. These reports all come from city officials. No city government having a municipal plant will admit that it is a failure, and that the city made a mistake. In making their statements they almost invariably leave out interest, depreciation, loss of taxes, management and similar expenses in order to make a good showing. Comparatively few cities of any size have installed municipal electric lighting plants. Where they have been installed the results on the average have probably not been so good as obtained by private plants. The municipal electric plant is in a decidedly experimental stage. Has Seattle the facilities, the time and money to undertake such an experiment? Is it not one of the last cities that should attempt this? It is growing very rapidly and is probably more in need of all kinds of public improvements than any city of its size in the country. It needs a city hall, a library, a hospital, pavements, extensions of water and sewer systems, etc. The Board of Public Works, the city engineering department and almost all branches of the public service are overworked in the effort to keep up with the demand for public improvements. If cities in the East that have facilities for undertaking such an experiment have decided, after careful investigation, that it would not be advisable to try such an experiment, cannot Seattle well afford o wait a few years before going further with this matter and taking the chance of placing additional burdens on the taxpayers? --- ```markdown ``` H.

Dewey has not lost Prince Henry's dinner party. When old mother earth begins to shake, something drops. If it were not for politics what would some men do for a living? "Bill Stubbs of Ballard" seems to be just as big a liar as his ideal epicurean was a doughnut eater. If Uncle Sam is ready to pay for the site of the federal building in this city, he should be given an opportunity immediately if not sooner. Every year for the past fifteen Tom Humes has been a candidate for some gind of an office. He certainly knows how to hold on to a good thing. If a library site should be selected before the next municipal election, it might be the cause of some of the councilmen being defeated for re-election. When Governor McBride gets all of his state commissions smugly located in Olympia he can shape their movements into the Preston boom with the simple twist of the wrist. If Tom Humes is nominated by the Republicans, for once in his political career he will be up against the real thing, and the 4th of next March he will be slaughtered beyond the recognition of his most intimate friends. Newspaper proprietors universally declare, "It pays to advertise," but despite their allegation we are of the opinion that the business men after all are the best judges of whether it does or does not. Seattle, we admit, has a hot political battle on at present, but not so hot as to need the services of the undertakers after the smoke of battle has cleared away, the predictions of the Elma Chronicle to the contrary notwithstanding. That Tacoma is full and overflowing with a salubrious climate goes without saying, and it is so because there is not enough animation about the place to make it otherwise. Pure air is always plentiful in open countries. That street car motorman that deliberately and with malice aforethought crashed into that loaded wagon near Guy's drug store and thereby broke it into smytherians ought to have been mobbed by the onlookers instanter. Few weekly papers in the North west show the same amount of prosperity as does The Seattle Republican at the present time. This comes from the fact that hard work is being done on the paper by those looking out for its best interest. Europe's bowing apes are having a monkey and parrot time as to which one of them was Uncle Sam's best friend during the Spanish war. Our judgment is that none of them were any too friendly to him until he licked the stuffings out of Spain. The Snoqualmie Power Company seems to be just as unsuccessful in getting a distributing franchise in other cities as it has been in Seattle. We are of the opinion that this company has too many "lions" connected with it for municipalities to trust it. Do not overlook the fact, dear reader, that The Seattle Republican is the only Seattle paper that has made a clean cut, square out fight against the renomination of Tom Humes. If he should be defeated today there are others who will in the future daily shout over the work "we have done." This state is so badly infested with ambitious politicians just now that government necessities are completely lost sight of less somebody's political aspirations be interfered with. Nothing is being done for the benefit of the state, but everything is being done for the ambitious office seeker. A local paper says "The American people are the best newspaper patrons in the world," to all of which we heartily agree, and nothing is more evident of the fact than that the American people are patronizing that local sheet. Steamboat passes to Alaska are to be discontinued completely, absolutely, and unequivocally. Well discontinue them if you like, we do not care. It makes us seasick to travel on the waters anyway. This may be bour grapes, but better sour grapes than no grapes. "Madam Nordica can sing anything from a coon song to an opera," says the Tacoma News, which we guess is quite true, but how did the editor of the News find that out? If Brer Perkins knows the difference between a coon song and an opera he is away ahead of the average newspaper man. Parading in front of stores and carrying a banner high in the air pro claiming, "This store is unfair to Union labor," has been begun again in Seattle, and, owing to the fact that it is election time, nothing will be done to prevent such damable practice. When, Oh! when will the fools all finally die? Harold Preston's political friends and advisors have finally prevailed on him to actually speak to a man of the ordinary walks of life, which, so far as his senatorial candidacy is concerned, completely clears the atmosphere and gives smooth sailing too for the United States Senate. Granted, that the county commissioners of Whatcom did the best they could in employing John Hart to assist the prosecuting attorney of that county in the prosecution of John Dix, but with all that the commissioners have done nothing to boast of and their selection, to those acquainted with Johnny, is considered a poor one. According to the Ballard News the Fort Lawton Mascot has been suppressed by the commanding officer of the post because the Mascot saw fit to criticize some of the officer's arbitrary rulings. We have often heard it said that the average army officer in command of half a dozen or more men, was the quintessence of damphooidum and here is a complete verification of it. Uncle Sam at the present time comes pretty near having a monopoly of all the islands of the sea inhabited by the darker races. Just what he can want with all of these inferior brands of humanity, according to the effete ideas of the Anglo Saxons of this country, is more than we can see, but one by one he is taking them all in. A Pasco judge charged a jury as follows: "Gentlemen of the jury, if you believe what the attorney for the defense has said, you will bring in a verdict for the defendant; or if you believe what the attorney for the plaintiff has said you will bring in a verdict for the plaintiff; but if, like me, you do not believe what either of them has said, I do not know what the devil you will do."—Columbia Chronicle. So absolutely certain are the dives and saloons of this city that high license will carry that they have decided not to fight the proposition at the polls, but to use their corruption fund to invigle the next city council into jobbing it out of existence. The saloon men must think the members of our next city council pretty cheap cattle for the small sum of $5,000 to bribe them all. We doubt very much whether it was "owing to the fact that Prince Henry was a gentleman," that prompted him to move on when he was commanded to do so by Admiral Dewey in Manila Bay, one half so much as that he was getting out of range of the cyclone that was sweeping over the Bay on that calm Sunday morning. Prince Henry did not run, but he simply got out of the way to avoid accidents, which showed his good judgment. Kentucky Wheeler, though a South erner, did not set Congress into a social quiver over the race question, but he got there with both feet over the disposition of the American peop le to play the flunky act when Prince Henry arrives in the United States. What the old mossback said was full of truth and good hard sense and we hope that more of it will be said before his Royal Sauerkraut puts in his appearance. If it be true that the fire insurance companies are going to withdraw from the state of Iowa, a blessing in disguise is about to come over that state. If about ninety-five per cent of the fire insurance companies would not only withdraw from Iowa and the various states of this Union but withdraw from business completely, the people would be a hundred per cent, better off. Too bad that something like that does not happen to the state of Washington. Some one possessed with more enthusiasm than sagacity has taken General Drain on the top of Mount Rainier and showed him the state of Washington and its fullness thereof and promised to give it all to him if he would only accept it, and now the General is hesitating, so it is said, between love and duty as to whether he does or does not want it. Politicians can't always give what they say they can General, and you had better be a bit careful in accepting their proffers. If wireless telegraphy proves a success and it be used throughout the United States it appears as though the Associated Press would soon find itself up against the real thing, as it would no longer have a monopoly of the news of the country, and instead of there being one daily paper in a town.which could receive its news, as many daily papers as could exist could get the news, but, we are told, competition is the life of trade, and if so here will be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate that fact.

Congress was given a shaking up one day last week in a manner which seemed to meet public approval in general and especially among the middle classes. During a debate in the Lower House Congressman Wheeler of Kentucky scored the American people for trying to play the flunky act with Prince Henry, who is now on the high seas headed for New York, and who will reach that city, unless some mishap overtakes him. Saturday. Mr. Wheeler observed that thousands of dollars were being appropriated by the American people for the entertainment of this Dutch prince and he thought it a radical departure from the good old democratic principle of George and Martha Washington—the corner-stone of personal liberty on which this government was founded. Todying to European rulers was not in keeping with his ideas of Americanism and he was not slow in making the fact known. His ideas may have been bluntly put, but the American people are with him and the rank and file of this country believe that too much attention is being paid to the visit of Prince Henry and too much pomp and display are being prepared for his entertainment while here. It smacks too much of royalty and even Prince Henry himself will be disappointed after leaving for home, as he expected to find a conservative democratic people in this country who lost no time in hero worshiping. Speaking about Prince Henry, who will arrive in the United States Saturday, the following as to his make-up will be of interest to the general public: He is of the Prussian royal family of Hohenzollern. He is the only brother of the reigning German Emperor; son of a German Emperor; grandson of a German Emperor; greatgrandson of a long line of Prussian Kings. He is a nephew of the King of England and grandson of Queen Victoria. He is brother-in-law and also own cousin of the Czarina of Russia. He is intimately connected by blood or marriage with the ruling houses of all the smaller German principalities and kingdoms. At the time of his birth, his grandfather, William I., was King of Prussia, the empire not having been formed. In 1871 his grandfather became first Emperor of the modern German Empire. In 1888, his father, Frederick III., died and was succeeded by his son, Henry's brother, William II., the present Emperor. William II. has several children, who are now in line for succession to the throne. Prince Henry's chances of ever becoming Emperor are, there fore, extremely remote. HIS PHYSIQUE. He is six feet and half an inch tall. He weighs about 182 pounds. He is always in the pink of physical condition and has not an ounce of fat upon his frame. He wears a light brown beard and mustache. The mustache he allows to grow naturally, and he will not have barbers playing with it as they do with his imperial brother's. His beard is trimmed to a point. His eyes are blue and clear. He does not even wear glasses. He is tireless physically. He is extraordinarily full blooded, for he can stand for hours in a suit of wet clothes in a bitter wind and experience no ill result. Even in the ballroom of the imperial palace at Berlin he walks with the rolling swagger of a sailor. Directions from the Emperor on this point have no effect upon him. His face is deeply tanned from long years at sea. His hands are coarse and red, and his nails are kept short for the same reason. His conversational tone is clear and hearty. When singing he has a mellow bass voice. HIS MENTALITY. He has a good education in the liberal arts; and an expert's education in everything nautical, from ancient battles to holy-stoning decks. Following the custom of his house he learned a trade when a youth. He could earn his living anywhere as a watchmaker. He speaks English purely and fluently. He speaks French without an accent. He can converse in Spanish, Italian, Russian and Swedish. He can also read these languages readily. He has had a thorough education in everything musical, and for an amateur is a remarkable musician. Like his father, Frederick III., he is a Liberal in politics. He has thus frequently incurred reproof from his reactionary brother, the Emperor, but has gained in consequence the devotion of the people of Germany. His mind is not of the devious subtle order, but direct and straightforward. He makes a better admiral than he would a diplomat or courtier. His mind is accurate and strong, but not showy nor brilliant. Mentally, his brother is a greater man. HIS MORALS. Unlike the great majority of royalties, he made a love match. Bismark opposed the princess whom he selected, but he said he would remain a bachelor forever if he were denied. He had his way. He has been a loving and faithful husband. Though the multitudinous temptations incident to a combination of sea life and royalty have been thrown in his way, he has laughed them off. No breath of scandal has ever tainted his name. He was a dutiful son, the favorite of his father, who left him the bulk of his private fortune. He is a devoted father, making it an object of his life to lighten the burden of his eldest son, Waldemar, who is deaf and dumb. He drinks beer, wine and spirits, but never to excess. He smokes cigars and pipes, but not cigarettes. He plays cards for money, but never so heavily as to involve his opponents beyond their immediate means. He is not extravagant. Not even in his youth, when his allowance was comparatively small, did he run into debt. HIS TEMPERAMENT He is the only one of the Hohen zollern who has a sense of humor. In spite of his love for music, he is not of a melancholy disposition nor is he subject to moods. With the view of bringing about a cessation of hostilities between the English and the Boers Dr. Abram Kuyper, the premier of Holland, has offered his services as a mediator and peace maker between the belligerent countries. That Great Britain will not accept this friendly offer on the part of Holland goes without saying, and that Great Britain will finally crush out the Boers is plain to be seen. The Boer Republic is a thing of the past and despite the bickering of a few Boer sympathizers in both Europe and the United States the war will be pushed on until DeWet and his entire army will have been wiped out of existence and South Africa become a fulfledged British colony. At present it is said that there are 250,000 British soldiers in South Africa either doing garrison work or hunting down the 8,000 guerrillas under the leadership of DeWet. The most of the Transvail and Orange river countries have been subdued by the British and they have resumed their normal conditions. The war expenses on the part of the British has been reduced from $1,000,000 per day to $5,000,000 per week, and it is estimated it will be even reduced to half of the latter amount within a short period, as the Boers are daily losing ground and will be reduced to a very small number before another thirty days will have passed. 一 It is rather remarkable that Grover Cleveland is the only living ex-President of the United States, and also that he is living so retired from both social and political life that his name is seldom ever mentioned in print. Mr. Cleveland is one of the most remarkable men of this country. He rapidly rose from insignificance to national greatness and when he had enjoyed all the public honor that an American citizen could expect he meekly and modestly retired from public life and is enjoying the fame and fortune, that he acquired while he was in the political swim. It was not to exceed ten years from the time that Mr. Cleveland first entered public life when he was elected sheriff of one of the counties of New York before he was occupying the presidential chair, that has ever been recorded in the history of the United States on the part of any man. A combination of circumstances seem to have made him sheriff, Governor of the state of New York and President of the United States, and, Democrat though he was, he was an ideal American citizen as well as an official, and is until this day the same ideal American that he was while President of the United States. Living in political and social retirement as he does in Princeton, New Jersey the great college city, he is enjoying his retirement while surrounded by a happy family made up of a most estimable wife and three charming children. Cleveland's fame as an American citizen, without any blandishing encomiums of being a statesman, will shine brighter when it will have been read on the pages of history fifty years from today than now. That he favored the Democratis party in appointing men to office goes without saying but that he favored Americans first last and all the time is likewise true. Here is a letter which Grover Cleve CRESCENT TRADE CRESCENT MARK BAKING POWDER 1 Pound 25 Cents The Most Modern and Up-To-Date Baking Powder Known Will do more and better work than any high priced cream tartar powder. _____ ASK YOUR GROCER land wrote in 1882 to his brother on the very day of the election which made him Governor of the state of New York: "I have just voted, and I sit here in the office alone. If mother were alive I should be writing to her, and I feel as if it were a time for me to write to some one who will believe what I write. I have for some time been in the atmosphere of certain success, so that I have been sure that I should assume the duties of the high office for which I have been named. I have tried hard in the light of this fact, to properly appreciate the responsibilities that will rest upon me, and they are much—too much—underestimated. But the thought that has troubled me is: Can I perform my duties, and in such manner as to do some good to the people of the state? I know there is room for it, and I know that I am sincere and honest in my desire to do well; but the question is whether I know enough to accomplish what I desire. In point of fact I will tell you first of all others the policy I intend to adopt, and that is to make the matter a business engagement between the people and myself, in which the obligation on my side is to perform the duties assigned me with an eye single to the interest of my employers. I shall have no idea of re-election or of any high political preferment in my head, but be very thankful and happy if I serve one term as the people's governor. Do you know that if mother were alive I should feel so much safer. I have always thought her prayers had much to do with my successes. I shall expect you to help me in that way." --- Speaking about government canals and waterways, the following statistics concerning the waterways of the world owned and operated by governments, will be of much interest to the reading public: In America the canals connecting the Great Lakes are the principal ship canals, and are three in number: the Welland canal, originally constructed in 1833 and enlarged in 1877 and 1900; the Salt Ste. Marle, or St. Mary's river canal, opened in 1855 and enlarged in 1897; and the Canadian canal at St. Mary's river, opened in 1895. The American canal was originally constructed by the state of Michigan, but subsequently taken charge largely due to the fact that 25 locks are required in surmounting the rise of 327 feet in the distance of 27 miles. The length of the Suez canal is about 90 miles, the cost $100,000,000, the present depth 31 feet, width at bottom 108 feet, and at the surface 420 feet. The number of vessels passing through it has grown from 486 in 1870 to 3,441 in 1901. The Cronstadt and St. Petersburg canal, which gives a passageway for great vessels to St. Petersburg, is 16 miles long, including the deepening of the bay channel, $20\frac{1}{2}$ feet in depth, and the total cost estimated at $10,000,000. The Cornish canal, which connects the Gulf of Cornish with the Gulf of Aegina, is 4 miles in length, $26\frac{1}{4}$ feet in depth, 72 feet wide at the bottom, and cost about $5,000,000. The Manchester ship canal, which connects Manchester, England, with the Mersey river and Liverpool, was opened in 1894. Its length is 35% miles, depth 26 feet, width at the bottom 120 feet and at the surface 175 feet, and cost $75,000,000. The Kaiser Wilhelm canal, which connects the Baltic and North sea through Germany, is 61 miles in length, 29% feet in depth, 72 feet wide at the bottom, 190 feet at the surface, and cost about $40,000,000. An additional canal connecting the same bodies of water by way of the Elbe and Trave rivers was opened in 1900. Its length is 41 miles, depth about 10 feet, width 72 feet, and cost $6,-000,000.

He has thus frequently incurred reproof from his reactionary brother, the Emperor, but has gained in consequence the devo- tion of the people of Germany. His mind is not of the devious subtle order, but direct and straightforward. He makes a better admiral than he would a diplomat or courtier. His mind is accurate and strong, but not showy nor brilliant. Mentally, his brother is a greater man. HIS MORALS. Unlike the great majority of royal- ties, he made a love match. Bismark opposed the princess whom he se- lected, but he said he would remain a bachelor forever if he were denied. He had his way. He has been a loving and faithful husband. Though the multitudinous temptations incident to a combination of sea life and royalty have been thrown in his way, he has laughed them off No breath of scandal has ever tainted his name He was a dutiful son, the favorite of his father, who left him the bull of his private fortune. Me Is a devoted father, making it an object of his life to lighten the ‘purden of his eldest son, Waldemar |who is deaf and dumb. He drinks beer, wine and spirits but never to excess. [He smokes cigars and. pipes, bu not cigarettes. He plays cards for money, but never 's0 heavily as to involve his opponent beyond thelr immediate means. He is not extravagant. Not even in ‘his youth, when his allowance was comparatively small, did he run into ‘debt. His TEMPERAMENT. | He is the only one of the Hohen- [zolloras who has a sense of humor. | In spite of his love for music, he jis not of a melancholy disposition, nor is he subject to moods. With the view of bringing about a cessation of hostilities between the English and the Boers Dr. Abram Kuyper, the premier of Holland, has offered his services as a mediator and peace maker between the bellig- erent countries. That Great Britain will not accept this friendly offer on the part of Holland goes without say- ing, and that Great Britain will fln- ally crush out the Boers is plain to be seen, The Boer Republic is a thing of the past and despite the bickerings of a few Boer sympathizers in both Europe and the United States the war will be pushed on until DeWet and his entire army will have been wiped out of existence and South Africa become a fulfledged British col- ony. At present it is said that there are 250,000 British soldiers in South Africa either doing garrison work or hunting down the 8,000 guerillas under the leadership of DeWet. The most of the Transvail and Orange river countries have been subdued by the British and they have resumed their normal conditions. The war expenses on the part of the British has been reduced from $1,000,000 per day to $5, 000,000 per week, and it is estimated it will be even reduced to half of the lat- ter amount within a short period, as the Boers are daily losing ground and will be reduced to a very small num- ber before auother thirty days will have passed, It is rather remarkable that Grover Cleveland is the only living ex-Presi- dent of the United States, and also that he is living so retired from both social and political life that his name is seldom ever mentioned in print. Mr. Clevelsind is one of the most re- markable men of this country. He rapidly rose from insignificance to national greatness and when he had enjoyed all the public honor that jan American citizen could ex- pect he meekly and modestly re- tired from public life and is en- joying the fame and fortune that he acquired while he was in the po- litical swim. It was not to exceed ten years from the time that Mr. Cleveland first entered public life when he was elected sheriff of one of the counties of New York before he was occupying the presidential chair, which was the most rapid rise that has ever been recorded in the history of the United States on the part of any man. A combination of circum- stances seem to have made him sher- iff, Governor of the state of New York and President of the United States, and, Democrat though he was, he was an ideal American citizen as well as official, and is until this day the same ideal American that he was while President of the United States. Liv- ing in political and social retirement jas he does in Princeton, New Jersey, the great college city, he is enjoying his retirement while surrounded by a happy family made up of a most estimable wife and three charming children, Cleveland’s fame as an American citizen, without any blandishing encomiums of being a statesman, will shine brighter when it will have been read on the pages of history fifty years from today than now. That he fav- ored the Democratis party in appoint ing men to office goes without saying, but that he favored Americans first, last and all the time is likewise true. Here is a letter which Grover Cleve- — ot | (QESCEN Mee i (( EAKING pone et It Rises Like That mi (asl : —=S—T “ , i tes A te] ; ee AND The Most Modern and Up-To-Date Baking Powder Know = ; Will do more and better work than any high priced cream tartar powder, ~ ASK YOUR GROCER Se ee ne ee ee ee jand wrote in 1882 to his brother on the very day of the election which made him Governor of the state of New York: “I have just yoted, and I sit here in the office alone. If mother were alive I should be writing to her, and I feel as if it were a time for me to write to some one who will believe what I write. I have for some time been in the atmosphere of certain success, so that I have been sure that I should assume the duties of the high office for which I have been named. U have tried hard in the light of this fact, to properly appreciate the re- sponsibilities that will rest upon me, and they are much—too much—under- estimated. But the thought that has troubled me is: Can I perform my duties, and in such manner as to do some good to the people of the state? I know there is room for it, and 1 know that I am sincere and honest in my desire to do well; but the question is whether I know enough to ac- complish what I desire. In point of fact I will tell you first of all others the policy I intend to adopt, and that is to make the matter a business en- zagement between the people and my- self, In which the obligation on my side is to perform the duties assigned me with an eye single to the interest of my employers. I shall have no idea of reelection or of any high po- litical preferment in my head, but be very thankful and happy if I serve one term as the people's governor. Do you know that if mother were alive I should feel so much safer. 1 have always thought her prayers had much to do with my successes. I shall expect you to help me in that way.” Congress does not seem inclined for some reason to want to make the appropriation for the completion of the Lake Washington canal. It is either being unduly influenced by some one averse to the building of the canal, who perkaps hails from Tacoma, or it is penny wise and pound foolish in its prognostication. While Seattle is taking the lead in pushing this canal matter, it nevertheless, when completed, will be a thousand times more beneficial to the government it- self than to Seattle. To be sure it will bring much business and trade to the city of Seattle, but what ob- Jections has Congress to that if, on the other hand, the United States government gets value received for its outlay for building this water way. ‘There is no denying the fact that Puget Sound is the great naval rest- ing place of the Pacific Ocean, and however much other sections may fight it, it nevertheless remains the natural fortification and barrier for nayal vessels and likewise commercial fleets. If then this fresh water harbor can be added to this natural ocean harbor, why Is it not a business propo- sition for the United States govern- ment to appropriate money for the building of the canal without further equivocations? Perhaps the repre- sentatives of Tacoma do not favor this proposition, but there is no reason why the entire membership of Con- gress should listen to their prattlings simply because they represent a rival town, which town is commercially as well as numerically jealous of the business pluck and push of Seattle. If Tacoma had something to offer equally as good or better than this there would be some method in her madness to defeat Seattle in the build: ing of the Lake Washington canal, but she has nothing neither as good nor has she anything at all in the way of a fresh water harbor to offer to the government in lieu of Lake Washington and yet she is fighting the proposition with as much force as if it would be of any detriment to her. What fools we mortals be. Speaking about government canals and waterways, the following sta- tistics concerning the waterways of the world owned and operated by governments, will be of much interest to the reading public: In America the canals connecting the Great Lakes are the principal ship canals, and are three in number: the Welland canal, originally con: structed in 1833 and enlarged in 1871 and 1900; the Salt Ste. Marie, or St. ‘Mary's river canal, opened in 1855 and enlarged in 1897; and the Canadian anal at St. Mary's river, opened in 1895. The American canal was otigi- nally constructed by the state of Mich- igan, but subsequently taken charge John H. McGraw George B.

The number of vessels passing through it has grown from 486 in 1870 to 3,441 in 1901 ‘The Cronstadt and St. Petersburg canal, which gives a passageway for great vessels to St. Petersburg, is 16 miles long, including the deepening of the bay channel, 20% feet in depth, and the total cost estimated at $10, 000,000. ‘The Cornith canal, which connects the Gulf of Cornith with the Gulf of Aegina, is 4 miles in length, 26% fect in depth, 72 feet wide at the bottom, and cost about $5,000,000. ‘The Manchester ship canal, which connects Manhcester, England, with the Mersey river and Liverpool, was opened in 1894.

Optical work a specialty at Goldman's 901 Second avenue, Burke Block. The past week has been an eventful one in the history of Seattle and its Afro-American citizens. A few weeks ago J. F. Cragnell, A. R. Black, W. H. Henderson and others decided to organize a social club. Thirty-five invitations were issued to various persons to meet at the Hotel Butler. Twenty-three men responded to the call, a remarkable showing. After the object of the meeting was stated a disposition was shown to make it a business organization instead of social, but as the call was made for a social club the following officers were elected: J. F. Cragwell, president; Sol Hall, secretary; George W. Turner, treasurer; committee on constitution and laws; J. H. Ryan, I. F. Norris, George Rideout, A. R. Black, Jas. Coombs. Immediately after adjourning a back fire started in favor of a business club and it is safe to say now that the social feature of this organization will die in the hands of the committee. In fact a resolution will be introduced at the next meeting to change the status of the club and in all human probability it will be the sense of the organization to do so. It is well. We have a plethora of such organizations in fact the "woods are full of them." If part of our energies were devoted to commercial lines that are now spent in pleasure-seeking much of the "race problem" would be a theory instead of a condition. At this time it may be well to state that this business organization will not be confined to Seattle. Applications for membership will be received from any part of the state. Lawrence Sledge, the well-known attorney, has removed his law offices from the Bank of Commerce building to the Bernice building. He occupies suite 111-112. The success of Mr. Sledge in his profession affords a striking example of the value of pluck and perseverance. He began the study of his profession eight years ago under conditions that would have discouraged a less determined man. Without aid he mastered the principles of law and passed an excellent examination for admission to practice in the state courts. Since his admission in 1897 Mr. Sledge has been remarkably successful and enjoys a good practice. He has long been prominent in Republican politics and an evidence of the confidence of party workers in his ability is the fact that he is one of the Seventh ward precinct committeemen in the municipal organization of that party.—Tacoma Spectator. The above from the Spectator is a deserved compliment and not a "paid advertisement," as many attorneys are prone to look upon it as such. Rev. J. D. Pettigrew, for some time pastor of Pilgrim Congregational church (colored), Los Angeles, Cal. has been in Seattle in search of health. He is now engaged in selling Booker T. Washington's autobiography and W. H. Crogman's "Progress of Race." These two books are remarkable productions of remarkable men. Booker T. Washington is a representative of the Negro race, of which the whole nation is proud. Prof. Crogman, of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., is master of his subject and wields a facile and trenchant pen. These two books deal with the race question from the high intellectual standpoint of two Negroes who have made their mark in the world. We bespeak for Mr. Pettigrew the patronage of our people. E. R.
