Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society POLITICAL POT PIE. VOL. VIII. NO. 42 The voters of this city from the following paragraphs and excerpts taken from many of the leading weekly journals of this state, bearing on the late municipal election in Seattle, will read with much interest the various comments that these papers have made on the same. The entire journalistic fraternity of this state recognize in Seattle and King county the mainspring of the Republican party of this state, and naturally the editors are much interested in its political battles, inasmuch as the editors further realize that, "as goes King county, so goes the state." While many of the quotations are factional in their make-up, nevertheless they offer salient and effective lessons, which the voters of this city would do well to take into consideration in the future. --- When the Tacoma Spectator says "Humes' victory in being re-elected to the mayoralty of Seattle was a victory of no political significance to Tom Tumes himself, but a victory for Harold Preston's candidacy for the United States Senate and a slap in the face to John L. Wilson and his P.-J.," it evidently went to press before showing Tom Humes the proof of its diagnosis of the results of the late Seattle election. Tom Humes thinks he is "it," not only in Seattle but in King county and the entire state of Washington for that matter, and he believes that if Preston goes to the Senate he will do so when he, Tom Humes, the man who was elected mayor of Seattle, March 4th inst., permits him to do so. --- Chicago and Seattle being notable examples of municipal "wide-open policy" and the mayor of each of these cities having twice been elected or such a platform, an exchange suggests that the wide-open policy men, who, by the way, are, for the most part, semi criminal in their make-up, nominate a presidential ticket with Harrison and Humes as its standard bearers. This, however, would be impossible, as neither Humes nor Harrison would consent to be the tail end of the ticket. Judging from what the Whatcom Reveille has to say on the late election, it is up to Seattle as to what the city really stands for in the shape of good government. It says: "The results of Seattle's municipal election shows one of two things to be true. Either the Seattle people take little stock in reform, or they desire a continuation of the 'wilde-open policy' that has been in operation in that city for the past four years." Even to the Seattleite it is hard to decide which of these two theories is correct, and like the Dutchman who was asked it it was one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten miles to the next town, curly replied: "Me dinks it is." It was perhaps the Lenten season that prompted the Catholic Progress to laconically remark: "The election is over; the public will now be given a short rest while the fall state is being arranged by the politicians." The Progress, we believe, had Humes on the brain during the late campaign. --- Pardon the digression at this point, but the Pie-maker takes occasion to do a little observing himself on the late election from a Populist standpoint. Within the past decade the Populists threatened to engulf the entire state of Washington and especially King county, but at the late municipal election they did not poll enough votes to give them a party standing, and it can be safely predicted at this time that this peculiar political animal is in danger of becoming extinct and especially in this part of the country. It is further predicted that before and other regular election of any kind is held in this county and state the Populists as a party will have completely vanished from sight. --- When the Sidney Independent says, "Mayor Humes was re-elected in spite of the determined opposition of a large number of Republicans, who did all they possibly could to defeat him," and in another sentence, "Godwin made a gallant fight, and would have won out ordinarily, but, etc." It blows hot and cold in the same article, and it does so evidently with the view of playing good Lord and good Devil with both factions of the Republican party in King county. --- After announcing that Humes had been re-elected, the Centralia Chronicle comments on the election as follows: "Mr. Humes is the acknowledged champion of the wide-open policy, and we believe this a dangerous policy for any city to follow." And permit us to add, Mr. Editor, that all law-abiding citizens are of a like opinion. Here is an idea from the Aberdeen Herald, Democratic in politics: "The election in Seattle not only shows that city to possess a strong Republican majority, but proves the hopelessness of an attempt of the better element to outvote the tenderloin." It is hoped that the situation is not so bad as it is pictured in the above quotation. There is nothing in this world entirely hopeless, for the Bible teaches us that "while the lamp holds out to burn the vilest sinner may return," and again there is hope just as long as there is life. --- Not even Tom Humes himself can deny this idea, taken from the Tacoma News: "Mayor Humes' majority came from below the dead line. He was repudiated by thousands of independent Republicans." The above is too true, and no one knows this better than the Seattleites themselves. Wherever the low and vicious elements were to be found in large numbers, there Mayor Humes ran the strongest; yea, even to the extent in many places of three to one. There is no denying the fact that that vote elected him, but it is a poor recommendation for any man who holds any claim to common decency. Most any Republican sympathizes with what the News-Examiner of Centralia says in a recent article bearing on the Seattle election: "Politically things are just as they should be in Seattle—the election of Mayor Humes and the whole Republican ticket with one exception." Oh, yes, neighbor politically Seattle is just as she should be, but morally it is just too awfully awful. --- "Mayor Humes had a close call, with but 600 votes to spare." laconically remarks the Shelton Journal. That's owing to how you figure it, neighbor. If you take 600 votes from Mayor Humes and give them to Godwin he would not have any to spare, but on the other hand be in the hole; but if you take 600 votes from Mayor Humes and give them to Judge Winsor then he would even be elected by a plurality of thirteen. The paper in Seattle that shouted "brave" when President McKinley was assassinated is of the opinion that the Socialists gained 200 per cent in the last election over what they numbered two years ago. Well, a little figuring along this line might help us out. The Socialists at the last election, all told, both factions, cast 484 votes out of a total of 14,000 votes cast by all parties. It will thus be seen from the above that Socialism is truly growing in Seattle, but, pardon the writer if he adds, it is growing dimination slow. According to the Buckley Banner, the "red light district in Seattle kept the Humes bark from drifting on the shoals at the polls at the late election held in that city." There is more truth than poetry in this remark and, as has already been said in another connection, it is to the shame and disgrace of Seattle that the "red light district" can elect or defeat a mayor at its will and pleasure. It is certainly not a very good advertisement for either the city of Seattle or any other city. Will some good Democrat reply to the following from the Sun-Democrat of Tacoma: "The Democrats of Seattle are asking themselves if their defeat was not really caused by Blethen running foul of organized labor." The Pie-maker is of the opinion that organized labor voted just about as did other classes of voters in Seattle's late election, and if they happened to be Republican or Democratic in politics they allowed their partisan principles to lead them to the polls and voted accordingly, the same as other voters. Repeatedly has organized labor threatened to defeat certain nominees on first one ticket and then another, but in no instance in the political history of Seattle has it ever knowingly succeeded. After drawing an invidious comparison between Mayor Humes' vote and the other Republican nominees, the Port Angeles Tribune further criticizes the election as follows: "The triumph of Humes and his Whitechapel cohorts means that for at least two more years the thralldom to rampant vice and crime that for three or four years past has existed in Seattle, is to be continued, it means that a visitor to that city is never to know when his life or his pocketbook is safe from thuggery and open thievery on her public streets; it means that the gamblers and dive keepers will control the various branches of the local government directed by the mayor; it looks as if it means that the tenderloin of Seattle will dominate the Republican politics of King county during the SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 1902 coming campaign." While a great deal of the above is true, yet the tenderloin of Seattle is promised a good hard tussel before it will dominate the politics of King county in the future. Honest Tom Humes may have been re-elected mayor of Seattle, but it was not because the Ballard News said anything to assist him in doing so, and yet in its last issue it made use of the following comment on the election: "The results of the city election last Tuesday is just what any one with gumption enough to go in out of the rain would have prophesied. Honest Tom Humes and the whole Republican ticket with the exception of one councilman were elected." That's another dose of crow which the Pie-maker hopes tastes well to the eater. Prior to the election you were for Godwin; since the election is over you rush into print with "I told you so." God will have his hands full when he begins to take care of the "I told you so" class who, like a sick man, lies on all sides at all times. --- Perhaps the Island County Times is correct in its assertion that "The people of Seattle want a wide-open policy, which accounts for them having three times voted for and elected Tom Humes as mayor," but it mistakes itself when it further alleges that the reason for Tom Humes running behind his ticket was because of personal enmity and not on account of his vile administration; for it was on this point and this point alone that ninety per cent of the Republicans who voted against Tom Humes preferred a Democrat to him. Granted that the election of Humes is a decided slap to the bolting Post-Intelligencer and its owner, ex-Senator Wilson, as the Times further says, yet thousands of Republicans in Seattle who voted against Mr. Humes' election did not do so in sympathy with either Mr. Wilson or his paper, but in sympathy with the good of their own families, and, we are told, "self preservation is the first law of nature." --- Another excerpt from the Ballard News says that "Thomas Jefferson Humes has demonstrated one thing to his own satisfaction—that a man can be elected to an office without the aid of a newspaper." The Washingtonian will certainly like that, for it declared the next day after the election that it saved Humes' election, but great men frequently differ, and here is an example of it. However, The Republican would like to say on this point that if the Post-Intelligencer had have said just one word condemnatory to Humes on the morning of the election, he would have been defeated by a thou-sand votes. Here is a comment from the Enumerclaw Courier, which shows that the editor of that paper either does not know what he is talking about or he was paid to champion the Humes administration in Seattle: "No city of its class and size is better governed or more free from crime than Seattle. Few meet with trouble in Seattle who use average precaution, and those who go below the dead line with their pursues in their hands should expect to take what they get." On an average there are about two hold-ups every night in Seattle and that, too, in the resident portions of the city, and yet this measely little sheet dares to make the above remarks. Those persons who are nightly held up on the streets of Seattle would use most any kind of precaution to keep from getting sand-bagged and robbed of their earnings, but this is done before they can use any precaution. So far as hold-ups below the dead line are concerned, there are none ever reported from that section, though men are frequently robbed down there, which class of men The Republican has no sympathy with. If a man goes to the tenderloin for a time and succeeds in getting robbed, he has only gotten what he was indirectly looking for and expected; hence he got what he richly deserved, but it is the hold-ups and thuggeries that are going on in the resident portions of the city that the complaint is made about. --- The Seattle P.I. nor any other decent paper could support Humes in the campaign for mayor. If the Republican party did nominate him, so much the worse for the party. Any man who will league with crime in Seattle as he has done is not worthy the support of a self-respecting paper and does not get help from that source. A party that will elect such men as Humes to office is in league with thieves, robbers and cut-throats and the vilest dens of infamy.—Washington Independent. 一 As says the Colton News Letter 'Mayor Humes did win in Seattle and without the support of the P.-L," but what would have come of him politically if the P.-L had turned its columns loose against him? Whether you like or dislike a powerful daily newspaper, there is no denying the fact that it is a dangerous enemy to antagonize. The 3,000 Republicans who voted against Mayor Humes at the last election were not, as thinks the Chinook Observer, "trying to keep a good man down," but, on the other hand, they were trying to keep a good party up. --- A sequel to the late Republican election was observed in a local restaurant one day this week when one of the guests asked for a glass of water and the astonished waitress stared at him in the face, with "We don't keep water in this restaurant." The guest was a bit surprised at the rather remarkable reply, but consolled himself by saying: "Oh, I beg your pardon. I forgot that Mr. Humes was re-elected on the wide-open policy, and that it is considered in bad taste to serve water in a restaurant when other liquids are so much in evidence." --- Once more the name of Clancy stands out in bold relief in the public affairs of Seattle, and as of yore, when Hunt depended on the Clancys to deliver him the First Ward, appointed Baldy Rogers chief of the police in payment to them for their safe delivery of the entire First Ward vote, who as chief of the police did the biddings of the Clancys, and now again Clancy directs and dictates to the mayor and the chief of the police in a manner that would put a tyrant or an emperor to shame. The affairs of any city must have reached its ebb tide when men of Frank and John Clancy's stamp can say to the chief authorities of the city, you must do this or that, and their wishes are compiled with to the letter and the entire police department lent to carry out their orders. Men who never draw a breath, but what is semicriminal in its nature, are certainly most dangerous characters to be placed at the head of any municipal government or public concern, and yet if reports be true, the Clancys have been given the absolute authority to say who shall and who shall not break the laws of the city and those they say can do so with impunity are never disturbed by the strong arm of the law, while those who have incurred their opposition must be punished at every turn of the road. If this is not a most lamentable state of affairs and a state of affairs that no one ever thought would happen either in Seattle or any other American city, then excuse us. Here's an excerpt from the Pasco News-Recorder on the situation that needs no comment: Mayor Humes skinned his teeth on his third term but he got there on his gums. They are a little sore, of course, but they might have been worse if the weather hadn't been sloppy. --- It has developed that Thos. J. Humes is mayor of Seattle only in name, one John Clancy, a boss gambler, being the defacto mayor and head push, and it has pleased his royal highness to close all gambling places until such time as satisfactory terms are made with him for their opening.—Ballard Register. Apropos the recent Republican municipal victory and the subsequent success of Clancy closing up gambling, a thing the Law and Order League, backed by the entire moral element of the city, flatly failed to do last year, suddenly one day this week all of the cars on one of the cable 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 lines stopped still for lack of power. "What's the matter?" shouted a chorus of passengers, eager to get to their dinners. And the conductor calmly replied: "Clancy has commanded the cable to close down and it has obeyed his command. The passengers saw the joke at once, and a hearty laugh was indulged in by all. O, say can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed in the twilight's last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous flight 'O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming; And the reflective red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. O, say does the star spangled banner yet 'O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. On the shore, dimly seen, through the mists of the deep, Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep, As it might blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam In full glory reflected now shines on the brave. 'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner! O, long may it wave. 'O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! And where is that band who so vauntingly swore That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion A house in country should leave us no more? Their blood has washed out their foul foot-steps' pollution. No refuge could save the hireling and the brave. From the terror of death and the gloom of the grave. And the Star-Spangled Banner, in triumph shall wave 'O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. O, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand Between their loved homes and the war's desolation. Bless with victory and peace may the heaven-rescued land Praise the power that has made and preserved us a nation. Then we must, for our cause it is just, And this be our motto, "In God is our trust. And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave. 'O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave! PASSING . . . Another catastrophe has befallen the British forces in South Africa and General Lord Methune has been captured by General Dearley, one of the Boer officers. Methune's four guns and a number of prisoners were also taken. It will be remembered that General Methune met with heavy reverses when the war first began in South Africa, and was finally reduced in rank on account of those reverses. Since that time he has done good service as commander of a scouting company. General Methune was succeeded in the commandery of the South war by General Roberts after he (Methune) had fought battles at Kimberly, Belmont, Graspan, Modder river and Magerfontenile, in each of these battles he was more or less unsuccessful. The capturing of Methune and his troops caused the wildest excitement to prevail in London last Monday, and those of the government officials who proclaimed the war was over were severely censured by the general public for such a misleading statement. . . . The McKinley cabinet is slowly but surely losing its identity and new blood is supplanting the old McKinley guards that stood by him for one term and as much of his second term as he lived. The third change under President Roosevelt in the cabinet has just occurred and Secretary Long's resignation has been accepted and Representative William Henry Moody of Massachusetts has been appointed by the president in his stead, who will preside over the destinies of the navy department. Mr. Long, after five years' connection with national affairs, returns to Massachusetts where he will again take up the practice of law, arrangements for which have already been made. . . . The United States supreme court has recently handed down a decision which virtually slaps trusts in the face and gives them such a check as will be hard for them to overcome unless some new legislation be passed for their direct benefit. The decision was handed down by Chief Justice Harlan, the noted Kentucky jurist, and was concurred in by a majority of the members of the supreme bench, though Judge McKenna, who, it is said, has always leaned toward corporations, trusts and combines, owing to the fact that he was a paid employee of them for many years, dissented, which, in comparison with Judge Harlan's opinion, was a rather lame affair. The laws of this country as they now stand on the statute books are clearly against trusts and combinations and the success of the republic demands that they be suppressed and again let "competition be the life of trade." . . . General Randall, who is the military head of the Alaska territory, if such it can be termed, has recommended to the military authorities at Washing ton City that work on the Valdes road from the sea to Eagle City be discontinued. General Randall considers the whole scheme impractical and a use less expenditure of government funds with no probable hope of any good results ever accruing therefrom. It is believed in official circles that the road will not be built. . . . If ever the irony of fate fell more heavily upon a man than it did on F. C. Andrews, the Detroit defaulter, their history falls to record it. Prior to Mr. Andrews's arrest he was not only a banker, but police commissioner on his city as well, and was a stickler for his officers being punctual to duty. A few weeks before arrested the commissioner had reasons to rebuke one of the detectives, and it is said he did so in the most scathing terms. The detective took his medicine and said nothing. Fate, however, brought it about that the same detective was compelled to arrest Mr. Andrews on the charge of defrauding the bank but instead of retaliating in kind he made an apology for having had to arrest him and treated the police commissioner under arrest with as much respect and courtesy as if he was still in good standing. . . . Few men in the United States developed the faculty to make money as rapidly as did Banker Andrews. Twelve years ago he arrived in Detroit with $1.50 in his pocket and that was a part of a five-dollar bill that he had borrowed before he left home. He was a green country boy and rather preferred the country to the city, and it took considerable time for him to finally decide to cast his lot in a busy bustling city. He failed almost to the month twelve years after he landed in the city, and when he failed he was defaulter to the amount of $1,500,000. His parents still live, and when he was in the height of his career they thought a great deal of him, and yet his father frequently warned him that he was going too fast and that he had better let well enough alone. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 28 1952 AN PRICE FIVE CENTS THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE With which is amalgamated THE BANK OF BRITISH COLUMBIA Head Office Toronto. Established 1867.

Seattle Branch D. A. Cameron, Cor. Sec. Ave. and James St. Manager. Since Mr. Andrew's failure a statistician in Detroit has been doing a little figuring as to the amount for which he failed, and says: "If Adam had begun to work a year after his birth and had earned $400 a year and had saved one-fourth of that he would in all that stretch of time have accumulated just about one-third of what Andrews stole from the City Savings Bank. If a wage-earner made $400 a year and saved every cent of it to accumulate a sum of money equal to what Frank Andrews stole it would take him more than thirty-nine centuries of unremitting toll. Figuring on the basis of the weight of a silver dollar, which is 416½ grains, Andrews' stealings would have turned the scales at 109,014 pounds of silver, or over 600 times his own weight. If all of this silver was melted and made into a solid statue it would be a figure twenty-four feet high by the side of which Banker Andrews would look like a piggy. That amount of silver would make sixty-four statues of a man five feet ten inches high, weighing 140 pounds, and would have given Detroit a silver statue for every one of its prominent corners. If Andrews had looted the bank of that amount of silver from a burglar standpoint, it would have taken 2,180 pals to help him carry away his plunder, and then he himself would have been compelled to carry fifty pounds of it. All told, it is perhaps the most remarkable and gigantic case of bank wrecking that has ever occurred in the United States. Nations have frequently gone to war over trivial things, and after they had both exhausted their resources found that what they had been warring over was a matter of no consequence whatever. President Roosevelt, in view of the visit of Prince Henry to this country, invited Senator Ben Tillman to dine with the prince at the White House, but a few hours prior to the international event Senator Tillman and his colleague had a fist fight on the senate floor, and the president at once recalled the invitation. This was an affront that did not set well on the average South Carolinian's stomach, so a nephew of Senator Tillman wrote the president an insolent note saying that he had been requested by the friends of one Micah J. Jenkins, for whom a sword had been made for his gallantry in the war with Cuba, to withdraw the invitation extended to the president to present the sword to Major Jenkins when he, the president, visited the South Carolina exposition. Then up rose Major Jenkins and wrote an insolent note to Gov. Tillman, saying that if the president could not present the sword he did not wish to have it presented to him at all. In the meantime the president canceled his proposed visit to the exposition, and then up rose the South Carolina citizens and raised the (Continued on last page) (Continued on last page) ```markdown ``` . . .

"I am it and in and through me must all administration news pass. Mark me now, mum is the word, or off goes your head." Owing to the success of the old world's kidnappers in getting big ransoms for the return of their victims, it might not be far wrong to suspect Pat Crowe as being their chief operator. Women and music have been ordered from the saloons of this city. While the good work is going on why not close the misnomer "ladies' entrance" to these places of vice and shame. We quite agree with the Walla Walla Argus in that a great many politicians have no use for an independent paper, and permit us to add, those same politicians seldom if ever pay their dues to their partisan papers. Holding up saloons is a new field that the saloon thug and emissary has begun to successfully work in this section of the country here of late. They evidently reason that they are getting their own. It would be useless for Levi Ankeny to open a bank in Seattle, hoping thereby to get the endorsement of the bankers for the United States senate, for the bankers and billionaires already have a candidate for that job in the person of Harold Preston. Spain's political conditions are so topsy turvy at present that it is not deemed advisable for King Alphonso to yet exercise the functions of a sovereign, and unless we are sadly mistaken Alphonso five years from today will be no better fitted to rule Spain than he now is. Brer Sam of the Tacoma News is still in a state of paroxism over the Lake Washington canal project. In the building of this canal Tacoma must see her final doom, which prompts her journals to keep a continuous kick against its completion. President Roosevelt has shown the white feather, and will not permit his daughter to attend the coronation simply because some one has criticised the administration if Miss Roosevelt did so. The president, we thought, was made of better stuff than that. The citizens of Centralia are to be congratulated over the change of proprietors of the Chronicle of that city. When the veteran editor, P. C. Kibbe, took charge of the Chronicle it meant that the Chronicle in the future would be a first-class country newspaper. That London preacher that scored King Edward from his pulpit for his royal shortcomings in more ways than one did not participate in the feeling of "Long live the king." He did not want to show disloyalty to his sovereign, but was very positive that the king was a morally bad, bad man. Good for the preacher. If the Mail-Herald does not owe its readers an apology for even existing at all we are mistaken, and we quite agree with it in that the rot which it was plased to call politics, which has filled its columns for the past month or more, should be editorially apologized for by the paper, and in this it acted most wisely. Mrs. Carrie Nation's little hatchet, after all, promises to do the work, which it was intended—again bring the whiskey question prominently into politics. If the voters of that state wish prohibition it should be enforced and if they do not wish it they should vote against it and permit the saloons to open in Kansas the same as other states. It has been suggested that the Law and Order League be again rejuvenated, and that it then employ the Clancy brothers to close up gambling, and it is surmised that they would do this if they only got their 20 per cent. It seems to be their cut that is causing all of the trouble, and why not let the Law and Order League give it to them, and thereby save the honor of the city. If all that is said about the Chehalis reform school be true it is a splendid place for young girls and boys to keep away from. With no intention whatever to injure Superintendent Westendorf, we have observed that those men and women who desire to always do duty in and among criminals either as an officer of the law or otherwise, are, for the most part, always of a questionable character and reputation themselves. Mrs. Anna M. Good, who for many moons has been considered a good thing, owing to the remedies against nature that she vended, pleaded guilty in the United States court not long since to having used the mails to advertise her remedies and was fined $50 --- and costs for the same. There are others in Seattle that are deserving of a similar dose as that administered to Mrs. Good, and we hope they will soon get it good and hard. Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas refused to be presented to the king because he was required to don knee breeches and to play the bowing ape act. Here is one Hogg that most Americans would do well to pattern after. Let other Americans who have grown strong on the teat of patriotism act as he has done and Americans will then be universally respected abroad for being themselves instead of trying to ape poverty-stricken European royalty. To convict a pretty girl of any kind of a crime is a pretty hard proposition, and if the law should ever miscarry and she be convicted it is a still harder proposition to keep her convicted, which is shown by Jessie Morrison, the now noted Kansas murderess, being granted a new trial by the supreme court recently. Jessie's first trial resulted in a hung jury, her second in finding her guilty of manslaughter, and her third will perhaps prove the charm and find her not guilty at all. There is no denying the fact that ex-County Treasurer Whittlesey was quite a bit short in his final settlement with King county, but Mr. Whittlesey seems dead opposed to making up the deficiency, and to prevent this he proposes to appeal to the majesty of the law. It is too bad that King county has not got a Republican prosecuting attorney, for, if she had, the majesty of the law would not only force Mr. Whittlesey to settle up, but it would go a step further and more than likely give him an opportunity to rest up as well. Driving the criminal classes out of one town to but have them blow into another and there continue their nefarious practices is not doing very much toward curbing crime. If one is so criminally inclined as to justify and warrant the officers of the law in driving him or her out of any town, then such person is criminal enough to be placed in confinement and chastised for his or her criminal inclinations. There seems but one way to drive the criminal off the face of the earth, and that is to kill him, but if he is to remain on earth then he should be confined at some place and protect law-abiding citizens from his or her depredations. President Roosevelt's first veto message to Congress was sent in last Tuesday, and it administered a severe rebuke to Congress for the passage of a bill removing the charge of desertion from the naval record of John Glass. Briefly the president said: "There can be no graver crime than the crime of desertion from the army or navy, especially during war. It is then high treason to the nation and is justly punished by death. No man should be relieved of such a crime." This was pretty severe, and yet it is considered none too severe by patriotic citizens. ITEMS OF INTEREST In London 4,251 persons die annually of cancers.

In April, 1901, Great Britain had thirty-five battleships in commission and fourteen being constructed. There were, all told, 129 cruisers, and 20 building, eighteen of the latter, being first-class. Germany at the same date had nine battleships and eight cruisers. France four battleships and fifteen cruisers, Russia eight battleships and eleven cruisers. It is thought by the British naval officers that a destructive war between England, France, Russia and perhaps Germany is imminent in the near future.

Tupper, whom it is very generally supposed, were drowned in Lake Washington last Sunday. Many convincing circumstances have been discovered indicating that the couple were drowned in the lake, and yet there is a breath of suspicion to the effect that Miss White was fouly dealt with by her companion and in order to cover up his crime she was drowned and he is now a probable fugitive from justice. Another theory is prevalent that the two eloped, but they would have no excuse for this, as the mother of the young lady seemed perfectly willing for her daughter to not only keep company with Mr. Tupper, but likewise marry him if she so desired. Ex-Governor J. H. McGraw has returned from Washington City, whither he has been in the interest of the Washington canal. Governor McGraw says that Mr. Brainard is making a gallant fight to induce Congress to order the necessary appropriations for the canal, but he is working against odds for the reason that the Washington Waterway Company is working at cross purposes with the government canal proposition. The proposed canal on the part of the Washington Waterway Company is said to be impractical, and though they are offering the government the canal free, if the government will only put in the locks, yet that after all is considered only an advertising dodge on the part of the Waterway Company to sell their tide lands and to likewise sell stock in their company. The Chamber of Commerce scored the Waterway Company at its last meeting in a manner that must have made it feel like going away back and sitting down before it pokes up its head to further obstruct a legitimate proposition.

From the number of business meetings being held among the Afro-Americans in this city here of late it makes one think something is going to happen before the present year expires. AMUSEMENTS IN "The Pride of Jennico" Daniel Frohman secured a play which has been pronounced fit to rank alongside of all the best known dramas of the romantic school which have seen the light in the past decade. The play is original in treatment and plot, and although it is founded upon and takes its title from a novel, it is merely the chief incident in the novel which serves as the theme. New characters are introduced and the play owes all its success to the treatment it has received at the dramatists' hands. The present company now touring the country is by special arrangement with Mr. Frohman and under the management of Mruno and Sage, who also control "The Prisoner of Zenda." It will be given at the Grand tonight with a fine company and a carload of scenery and accessories. "The Eleventh Hour" will tonight close a very satisfactory engagement, the performance having succeeded in drawing full houses all week. Tomorrow afternoon. "The King of Rogues" will commence his career of crime at the Third Avenue Theater and continue for the rest of the week, giving a pictorial example of how a slick rascal can lead a double life and successfully disguise himself, and how easy it is to murder people and not be found out—for a while—if you only know how. "The King of Rogues" is a new play, never produced in Seattle, and one that the management has had in course of preparation for several weeks. It will be elaborately mounted with new scenery and mechanical effects and as the company presenting the play is an exceptionally strong one the production gives every reason of being a big success. "The King of Rogues" is on the order of "Dr. Jeykel and Mr. Hyde," and is equally full of mystery and interest. Prince Henry has gotten all of the United States that he wanted and has finally sailed for the "fadderland" to tell his German and Prussian brethren of the wonders of the United States. The prince was royally entertained while in this country and what Uncle Sam lacked in having royal blood to present the prince to he made up in gold and silver idols, and to these the visiting prince were extensively introduced. BROTHER IN BLACK. Quite a number of newspapers and journals edited and operated by colored men are now booming Senator Fairbanks of Indiana for the Republican nomination for the presidency in 1904. King Menelik, of Absynia, Africa, the black fighter of the desert, is to be a guest of the St. Louis exposition next year. King Menelik has defied the encroachments of the Europeans more than any other ruler of the African plans and deserts. The colored folk of Pennsylvania have organized an "Imperial Grand Council, Daughters of Isis," and are boasting of it being the first of its kind ever established among American Negroes. Who the duce sister Isis is the writer hereof begs to be excused from trying to answer. Joseph Hughes was shot and instantly killed by William Patterson at Roslyn last Monday. Both men are colored and had quarreled the night before. While Hughes was playing a piano in a questionable resort Patterson went in and shot him dead from the rear. Patterson has been held to the superior court at Ellensburg without bail. Henry Cabott Lodge, United States senator from Massachusetts, is said to be a most worthy successor of Senator Charles Sumner, the great equal right champion of thirty years ago. Senator Lodge is an uniring worker for the American Negro and never looses an opportunity to do him a good turn. It is noted that a colored journalist is advocating that Hon. John P. Green of Ohio has the brains to make the leading Northern Negro, which, if true, it will not take either a newspaper or a political clique to convince the general public of that fact. If a man is truly great the world will find it out, however secluded he may try to keep himself. Mary E. Jackson is the name of a colored woman that is to be executed on the gallows April 25th, in the state of Maryland. Not many women of this country have ever been legally executed and if this one is she will be the second to our knowledge, the other being a white woman, who was executed in New York City some ten or twelve years ago. From an exchange it is learned that colored waiters still hold the fort at the White House, regardless of the many changes that have been inaugurated under the present master and mistress of the nation's capital building. Colored waiters have been employed at the White House almost since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. The editor of a paper published in Maryand ostensibly in the interest of the colored folk of that state makes the statement that his wife had written all of he editorials for his paper for the past six months and yet the rogue continues to fly his own name at the editorial masthead of the paper. Hogishness seems to be the chief ingredient of some men's entire makeup. The colored population of Muskogee, I. T., are quite commercially inclined, according to the Pioneer of that place, and individually many of them own enterprises worth all the way from $100 to $5,000. This is a most respectable showing for a little country town. They are even represented in the gambling hells as "colored talent" operated one of the four hells dives of the town. "Tell them that the Negroes are rising." Maryland's legislature recently refused to pass a Jim Crow car bill and the legislature of Virginia has done what will amount to practically the same thing. Evidently the Southern "nigger haters" are getting ashamed of their flandishness and are trying to hedge. The Jim Crow car as is run through many of the Southern states is worse by far than is the average cattle car which is run through the Western states. Company E of the Wisconsin volunteers has a fourteen-year-old colored boy as its mascot. It picked the little fellow up in Charleston, S. C., where he was a street walt, and he followed Regular Reada Rel That's The Seattle Tel. Main 305 the company all through the Cuban war. He is now being educated and cared for at the company's expense and lives with a German family where he has learned to speak German quite fluently. He promises to make a very brilliant youngster. Many complaints were registered against the late lamented McKinley for not appointing more colored men to federal offices than he did, notwithstanding the fact that he appointed more than all of the other presidents combined, but now our own and only Teddy is being roundly rebuked by the colored politicians for showing no inclination whatever to appoint any. Ted has always been a political enigma. While Prince Henry was sojourneying in Greater New York, Professor Booker T. Washington, the well-known Negro educator, was introduced to him and the two chatted most pleasantly on general affairs. Prince Henry earnestly inquired of Professor Washington as to the outlook for the colored people of this country and effusively complimented him and his Tuskegee work. Prof. Washington, though dark of skin, is one man that Uncle Sam can point with pride to. Those colored journalists who so far forget themselves as to want to establish daily papers for "colored folk only" will come to their senses after they have dropped their little wad in such a foolish venture. Neither daily, weekly or monthly papers for "colored folk only" are wanted in this country, and here's to the fellow going to go smash who attempts it. It is quite enough for fool Caucasians to draw the color line besides Negroes trying to retaliate in kind. Two wrongs never made a right, and always remember to "be sure you are right, and then go ahead." Bringing a woman clear across the continent chained to a man was the nauseating spectacle on one of the overland trains one day this week. Such barbarity was never before seen or heard of, and it would not have been in this case, in the opinion of the writer at least, if the woman in question had not been of Negro blood. The woman and her husband are accused of having stolen the Lowerhall diamonds at Portland, Oregon, some months ago. They were subsequently arrested at Toronto and brought back to Portland guarded by five detectives, and yet that board of detectives found it necessary to chain the woman to her husband as if she had been a dangerous murderer. Who said the average detective was not a brute when it comes to handling persons of color. NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION OF PART-NERSHIP.

Talk about your tempests in teapots, but here is one of the worst ones that any one has ever read of. . . . In the sudden death of ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, of Illinois, the political arena of this country loses a most unique character. Mr. Altgeld was twice elected governor of the state of Illinois on the Democratic ticket, though he subsequently proved to be more the mouthpiece of the anarchists of this country than of the Democrats. He was a man of strong characteristics, decidedly popular with those who believed and basked in the same political atmosphere as himself. He always had an opinion on all public questions and always expressed it which caused him to be frequently criticised by the press very severely.
