Seattle Republican

The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Sewing POLITICAL POT PIE. VOL. VIII. NO. 46 Why should Seattle support an antirailroad candidate for United States senator? Will Seattle be subserving her best commercial interest by aiding in the election of a United States senator that will use his every influence to defeat the railroad companies in their legitimate enterprises? Is it not a fact that the railroad companies have made Seattle what it is? Is it not a fact that Seattle never jumped into national and even international greatness until Jim Hill had built the Great Northern within her gates? Then, if that be true, again the question is asked, Why should Seattle have an anti-railroad candidate for the United States senate? In times past the Northern Pacific Railroad Company may have worked against Seattle's commercial interest, but that is no longer true, and the Northern Company is as much interested in the upbuilding of Seattle as is the Great Northern, and both of the roads are doing all within their power to make Seattle a great commercial seaport. While Seattle is exceedingly anxious for a United States senator, she should not be so anxious as to elect a man to the United States senate who would go to Washington City with the avowed purpose of killing the hen that laid the golden egg for Seattle, that is to say, with the purpose of doing up the railroad companies that now come to this city, because, forsooth, some of his constituents and supporters are opposed to railroads. If Harold Preston intends to be a candidate for United States senator on an anti-railroad platform, then he will certainly be no friend of Seattle, because it is the railroads and steamship lines that are making Seattle the greatest commercial seaport on the Pacific Coast, and if you impair the usefulness of those railroads, then you are deadly opposed to the upbuilding of Seattle. Let Mr. Preston examine himself and if he is to be that kind of a candidate then let him announce himself and let Seattle choose between the two, Preston and poverty or railroads and prosperity. . . . It is a mistake that the colored voters of this city do not know what they politically want, but because they did not want one man for park commissioner was no reason for the other one being turned down. No fight was made against Richard Davis for park commissioner, and while he may not have received the endorsement of certain colored men in town, those men did not fight his confirmation, and the colored voters of this city were not loggerheading over his appointment for park commissioner because they were rent in factions, and the one faction did not want the other faction to get advantage of the other, but they did not think one of the men a proper person to represent them for well known reasons, which was set out and placed before the council committee on parks and boulevards, hence they fought his confirmation. The members of that committee were thoroughly convinced that one of the men was morally unfit to hold the position and they unanimously agreed to turn him down. Just why the committee or council should turn the other man down the Piemaker is unable to say, but so far as the colored voters were concerned they preferred to see both of the men turned down rather than to see the one confirmed, not for either personal or political reasons, but from moral reasons. The vicious attack made on the colored candidates by the Daily Times after it found that it was utterly impossible for it to brow-beat the city council into confirming the editor's valet was quite uncalled for and plainly showed the editor of the Times is by no means the friend of the colored folk that he has in the past pretended to be. --- The state press is much exercised over the report sent out from Washington that Senator Foster had recommended Hon. Henry L. Wilson, who is now a minister to Chili, for a more important position at some of the larger European courts and some of them go so far as to intimate that Senator Foster and ex-Senator Wilson have at last come around to their original agreement and in the future they will work in political harmony with each other. As to this the Piemaker has no knowledge one way or the other, but he does not entertain the belief in a single instance that Senator Foster and John L. Wilson have reached any political agreement whereby Senator Foster is to aid John L. Wilson in being elected to the United States senate next January, nor that John L. Wilson will aid Senator Foster in being re-elected January COUNTRY PRESS' OPINIONS *************************************************************** two years from that date. While the Ple-maker is well aware of the fact that at the time Addison G. Foster was elected he made certain pledges to John L. Wilson and the same were signed, sealed and delivered, nevertheless Mr. Foster has broken them and has so flagrantly broken them that in the opinion of the Ple-maker Mr. Wilson would rather not be elected to the United States senate next January than to be assisted by Senator Foster, and yet do not understand this to be official, for the Ple-maker has not seen nor heard from Mr. Wilson for the past two months, and the ideas here advanced are speculation, pure and simple. . . . Seattle and Seattle citizens have about made up their minds that they will have one of the nominees of the next three congressmen that will be elected from this state, and they have made up their minds to accomplish this regardless of what the results may be as to the United States senator. Seattle has a number of young men who would make ideal members of congress, and if she can get that nomination for some one of those young men she will do so and take her chances in capturing the United States senator a few months later. Already Bobby Albertson has entered the journalistic advertisement business for the purpose of getting that nomination, and he is supporting himself in the various weekly papers with a vengeance trying to convince the voters of King county that he is one of the very few men in King county that can fill the congressional bill as it should be, all of which may be true, but if you happen to have heard the speech made by Bobby Albertson at the Armory hall the night before the last municipal election, the Ple-maker believes that you know Mr. Albertson has been weighed in a balance and found wanting. Jim Hill's Monopoly. The Union Record of this city labor under the wrong impression, Jim Hill has no idea of either trying to get a monopoly on the aerial transportation to Seattle, the terrestrial transportation to Seattle, nor likewise the aquatic transportation to Seattle, but if the getting of all these means that he is to build up Seattle in the same proportion as he has done since he got the Great Northern transportation route to Seattle then Seattle is perfectly willing to give him a monopoly on all of them. Snogualmie Power, Nit. This paper learns from the Centralia Chronicle, the Everett Herald, the Whatcom Reveille and the Portland Oregonian that each of those towns have turned down the Snouqualie power proposition to furnish light and power for those cities. Even Seattle, the home of this power company has refused to give it any rights in the city, all of which would seem to indicate that the Snouqualie Power Company is not a good thing and won't get any pushing along by municipalities of this section. Less Royalty Talked. We quite agree with the Winlock Pilot in its assertion "some of our Sunday papers must think that their readers are exceedingly interested in what the old world's royalty is doing from the amount of silly stuff that is dished up every week for the delectation of the public." Just why the public should be told all about royalty in almost every issue of the daily papers is quite a puzzle. Suppose royalty is doing this or that thing, in what way, please, is the average American interested? Prince Henry came to the United States and our citizens played fool over him and now the Prince of Wales threatens to come in order that he can have it done to him as well. Preachers and Theaters The Whatcom Revelille is not altogether right in its assertion that the war on the theatre made by the ministers of Everett will result in emptying their pews because church folk for a general thing do not believe in theatre going and the ministers are but voicing the sentiment of a majority of their members in opposing such. The theatre going may not be bad, in fact it is not, in our opinion, but it is against the rules of most of the Christian churches, and if you agree to abide by SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 1902 As has been previously said in these columns, Will E. Humphries is likewise making the fight of his life to secure this nomination. He has been a conspicuous figure in politics in this city for a good many years. Has twice been elected corporation counsel and has been a delegate to pretty nearly every county and state convention for the past decade or more. He has campaigned the county and the state and has made brilliant speeches wherever he has appeared on either the stump or the rostrum. Unfortunately, however, for Mr. Humphries he has allied himself with the Humes faction and perhaps that may be the cause of his defeat owing to the fact that the opposite faction would not feel inclined to support him because he has made such a relentless war on them. If Mr. Humphries can control the Humes faction in King county he may yet be able to land right side up with care, as he would also get some strength from all of the other factions in the county. Another drawback to Will E. Humphries lies in the fact that most people are of the opinion that he is a brother to John E. Humphrey, who is also a candidate for supreme judge and has been for the past six years. If Mr. Humphrey was eliminated from the supreme judge contest Will Humphries would stand a much better show of being nominated for congress. --- Judge R. A. Ballinger, who was once a political power in Jefferson county, but who subsequently moved to Seattle and cast his lot with the same faction as did Will E. Humphries, is also a receptive candidate for the congressional nomination that is supposed to fall to the lot of King county. Judge Ballinger is a strong and scholarly gentleman and would make a splendid showing in congress, and would make a splendid showing at the primaries providing he can overcome the factional opposition to him which has been quite pronounced in the past. Judge Ballinger sees the necessity of King county having a member in the lower house of congress and he is willing to work to that end whether he or the other fell Continued on 2d page. the rules of the churches when you join it it is hardly the proper thing to break them even if you should be of the opinion that it is no harm to attend the theater which many of us do so. Coming West If the persons coming from the East cannot do as well in this state as in the states and places from whence they came there would seem to be no excuse for them coming West, and when the Walla Walla Argus reasons to the contrary, then it is destroying the motive that prompts thousands of persons in the East to come West. They come West with the hope of bettering their condition, and unless they do they will become dissatisfied and will sooner or later return to the East. King County Congressman. Most of the country papers, especially in Western Washington, favor the idea of King county making a strike for one of the Congressional nominations and the idea advanced by the Sidney Independent to the effect that the King county politicians would make a serious blunder if they did not make every effort to secure a congressman to the next election seems to be the concensus of opinions of the country papers, which opinion is quite in accordance with the opinions of the leading politicians of King county. Newspapers Flourishing. Gray's Harbor county must be on the boom as the Aberdeen Herald has announced that in the future it proposes to issue semi-weekly, issuing days being Mondays and Thursdays. Already Aberdeen has a daily paper and with a semi-weekly contemporary that section of the state promises to be a live field from a newspaper standpoint. Did You Earn It? If the Labor Journal of Spokane will stick to the proposition that "no man shall get what he does not earn," the editor thereof had better sell out his property interest in that city and go into poverty at once, because the palatial home that he owns, we have reasons to believe, he obtained not by the sweat of his brow, but by his political pull as a ward politician and journalist. Continued on 2d page. SEATTLEDOM More Gambling. Speaking about the gambling situation in this city, it has been learned that during the four years and four months that Humes has been mayor of Seattle the boss gamblers have paid in to the city exchequer $184,900, which sum the boss gamblers declare over their own signatures is but four percent of the earnings of the gamblers. If this astounding sum is but four per cent, what on earth must the other 96 per cent be? To run gambling devices in Seattle is certainly a profitable business, and no wonder there is so much fuss being made over it, and like wise no wonder that Clancy is holding out for his twenty per cent cut, which at the same ratio for the next two years would mean a net profit to the Claneys of $369,800, and such a sum is worth squabbling over. If the gamblers have been permitted through Mr. Humes' influence to fleece the public out of so large a sum of money as the above figures would indicate they should be willing to pay the Humes machine not only a twenty per cent cut, but they should be willing to cut it in two for the benefit of the Humes machine. City in the Business. Some time ago E. L. Blaine suggested that the city go into the gambling business and open a public gambling hall as a means of revenue for the city's own financial good. Regardless of what Mr. Blaine had in mind in making this suggestion, nevertheless it is a splendid idea and the same is herewith endorsed. If $185,000 is only a four per cent cut of the entire gambling earnings of this city it would seem to indicate that the gambling business in Seattle is exceedingly profitable and that should the city go into the gambling business on its own hook and prevent private gambling houses from being run at least fifty per cent of the earnings of such houses would be clear profit, and if the houses would earn as much in the next two years as they have in the past two years, the city would find itself the possessor of a sufficient amount of money coming from the gambling houses to carry on the entire government and thereby relieve the taxpayers of having to pay any assessments on their property for the maintenance of the city government. If gambling is wrong the city is committing as much sin in allowing others to conduct it as to conduct it itself and in as much as it is a paying institution it is suggested the taxpayers get the full benefit of such wrong dealings, and as stated above, this paper endorses the ideas advanced by Mr. Blaine, that the city of Seattle open a public gambling house for its express benefit. More Social Equality. Strange things happen in this queer old world of ours and so strange are they that one is often at a loss for an explanation of them. Some time ago the Associated Press dispatched to a Caucasian in North Carolina, who petitioned to the governor of that state to change the date on which he was to be hanged because a man of African descent would be hanged in the same town on the same day and hanged from the same scaffold, and he, the Caucasian, objected to such social equality. Once a white woman in Natchez, Mississippi, who had committed an awful crime, pleaded with those who had called for an officer that if she was to be arrested for God sake call a white officer, as she seriously and religiously objected to such social equality as being arrested by a nigger. In Atlanta, Georgia, not long since, the judge of the municipal court discharged a white woman whom he had found guilty of petty thieving, drunkenness and general dissipation, because she objected to riding in the "hurry up wagon" with a colored woman, who was a like criminal. "Excuse me," she exclaimed, "from such social equality." And now comes a superior court judge of this county and tears a mother from her four little children because the mother had married a Japanese and the judge perhaps objected to such social equality. All of these social objections to a weaker race on the part of the Caucasian are similar to the man who could see the pigeon on the barn, but could not see the barn, which prompts the writer to repeat as above "that queer things happen in this old world of ours." Knew Too Much. If fewer persons were not so wise there would be fewer accidents reported by the daily press in not only this city but all over the country. Last Sunday evening a man lost his life because he persisted in trying to handle a live electric light wire when he knew no more about electricity than a wooden man. Others had to be driven back by the police to prevent them from doing the same thing, and that too while one man was lying in front of them a corpse. It too frequently happens that men rush into such things with the view of impressing the bystanders of their great knowledge and ability to handle dangerous things and as a result they either lose their lives outright or are maimed for life. A good rule to observe is to keep your hands, and not only your hands, but likewise your tongue, out of things that you are not conversant yith. Electricity is a dangerous force and one that not even those who pretend to be experts with it knows anything about, and in order to prevent serious accidents it is a good idea to always walk around an electric light wire even if it is not connected, because you do not know, as the little boy said, "what a dead hen might do." A half a dozen or more persons were seriously injured last Sunday evening by an electric light wire when there was no excuse nor reason for it. The wire was down and if those who discovered it had kept their hands off it and called for some one from the company's office to come and attend to it, no one would have been injured, but in order to show to the bystanders that they had no fear of even an electric light wire they wilfully rushed in to their death. Emboldened by the success of Detective Sam Corbett being able to convince the superior court judge that the civil service commission wrongfully removed him from the detective force of this city, Walter Easson, who was removed some months ago for horsewhipping a son of a prominent citizen of this city, has petitioned the court to restore him to duty. If the superior court of this county takes up all the removals that the civil service board makes it will have a peck of trouble on its hands. The court may have justly, from a legal standpoint, ordered the reinstatement of Sam Corbett, and it may likewise order the reinstatement of Walter Easson, nevertheless the general public is thoroughly convinced that both Continued on 2d page. He Shot to Kill. Will Reynolds, of Birmingham, Ala. bama, may have been a "bad Negro, from the other fellow's standpoint, but from the standpoint of a true blue American he was a very brave man. Becahse he was charged with having obtained merchandise under false pretenses a posse of enraged litizens threatened to lynch him, and in order to prevent such he sold out as dearly as he possibly could. When the posse had surrounded the house in which he had taken refuge he opened fire upon them from a 45-calibre rifle and when the smoke of battle had cleared away Reynolds had been riddled with bullets, but nine of the members of the mob were either instantly killed or fatally wounded by the unerring aim. PASSING EVENTS *************************************************************** Last Thursday in April. So much has been said along the line of changing the date of the inauguration of the president of the United States from the 4th of March that a committee appointed by the senate has agreed to fix the last Thursday in April as the inauguration day of the president of the United States. Such a date would certainly be more generally acceptable to all of the states of the Union than the present one because by the last of April the weather especially in Washington, D.C., is always pleasant and balmy. The last Thursday in April is in the midst of spring and this is the most pleasant season of the year in that section of the country and it is predicted that the inauguration will be more generally attended if congress fixes this day for installing the new president into office. Speaking about the United States senate a statistician has been doing some figuring as to the ages of the respective members and here is the result of his work: Of the 86 senators, 3. Bailey of Texas, Beveridge of Indiana and Kearns of Utah are under 40 years of age. Bailey being 38, Beveridge and Kearns each being 39 years of age. There are twelve senators between 40 and 50; 30 between 50 and 60; 26 between 60 and 70; 14 between 70 and 80, and just one, Senator Peptitt of Alabama, between 80 and 90. Senators who have lived more than 70 years of age, nearly all of whom have the vigor and appearance of much younger men, are: Allison of Iowa, 72; Bate of Tennessee, 75; Culom of Illinois, 72; Frye of Maine, 70; Gibson of Montana, 71; Hawley of Connecticut, 75; Hoar of Massachusetts, 75; Jones of Nevada, 72; Morgan of Alabama, 77; Platt of Connecticut, 74; Proctor of Vermont, 70; Stewart of Nevada, 74; Teller of Colorado, 71; and Vest of Missouri, 71. Senators between 60 and 70 years of are age: Aldrich of Rhode Island, 60; Bacon of Georgia, 62; Bard of Cali- frica, 60; Barry of Arkansas, 60; Blackburn of Kentucky, 63; Burrows of Michigan, 65; Clark of Montana, 63; Cockrell of Missouri, 67; Depew of New York, 67; Elkins of West Virgina, 60; Foster of Washington, 65; Gallinger of New Hampshire, 64; Hale of Maine, 65; Hanna of Ohio, 64; Harris of Kansas, 60; Jones of Arkansas, 62; McEnery of Louisiana Corbett and Easson.

The burning of human beings at the stake has become so common in many of the Southern states that it is no longer reported by the Associated Press. It is merely a tocal affair and however horrifying it may be it attracts no attention outside of the community in which it is committed. A few days ago one Richard Young, a Negro, was burned at the stake near Savannah, Georgia, and the only evidence of his guilt was given out by a young man, who was on his death bed, to the effect that Young resembled the man who murdered both his mother and himself. On this slim and filmy pretext Young was taken from jail, chained to an iron stake and burned by a howling mob. Perhaps persons who commit such crimes are civilized citizens and perhaps they are not and the odds are quite in favor of them not being, for the acts of barbary committed by those people would put to shame the acts of barbary committed by the most savage heathen to be found in any of the undiscovered islands of the sea.

Senators whose ages range between 50 and 60 are: Burnham of New Hampshire, 57; Clapp of Minnesota, 50; Clark of Wyoming, 50; Daniel of Virginia, 59; Deboe of Kentucky, 53; Dillingham of Vermont, 58; Dubois of Idaho, 59; Foraker of Ohio, 55; Foster of Louisiana, 53; Gamble of South Dakota, 51; Hansbrough of North Dakota, 54; Lodge of Massachusetts, 51; McComas of Maryland, 55; McLaurin of Mississippi, 53; Mallory of Florida, 53; Martin of Virginia, 54; Mason of Illinois, 51; Nelson of Minnesota, 59; Quarles of Wisconsin, 58; Rawilins of Utah, 51; Scott of West Virginia, 59; Simon of Oregon, 51; Spooner of Wisconsin, 59; Taliaferro of Florida, 54; Tillman of South Carolina, 54; Turner of Washington, 52; Warren of Wyoming, 57; Wellington of Marayland, 50, and Wetmore of Rhode Island, 55.

If there were more such Reynolds in the South there would be fewer lynchings and burnings at the stake for trivial offenses. To advocate an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth in this age and generation is very distasteful to the good citizens of this country, but it seems that that will be the only way for the black man to get justice in the South, and it is therefore in these columns advocated. There must be quite a demand for criminal lawyers among the Afro-Americans of Kansas City, Missouri as one of the weekly papers published in that city in their interest mourns almost without comfort the death of Attorney B. L. Woodson, who was one of the most noted criminal lawyers in that section of the country. It is hard to lose an able and efficient man whether he be lawyer, doctor or Indian chief, but it is suggested that the colored folk had better give up those things that leads them into the criminal courts, even if the criminal lawyer does not get as much practice and make as much money as his talent would seem to merit. There is no denying the fact that the colored folk are mixed up altogether in too many criminal escapades for their own good, and the sooner they give up some of those habits the better for the progress of the race to which they belong. There are few spots in the United States in which there is a greater aggregation of colored criminals than in Kansas City, and this perhaps accounts for Mr. Woodson's great tact and talent as a criminal lawyear, having been so well developed during his lifetime, and by being able to get them out of a good many of their scrapes probably explains why they so sorely regret his death. "Justice, mercy, truth and liberty," is the motto of a weekly paper, which has just begun publication in Washington, D. C. Such a motto is deserving of having eminated from a saint instead of a newspaper sinner, and if that paper sticks to its text you can rest assured that it will not be published very many weeks. A more appropriate motto would have been "get there." The newspaper man who will adopt such a motto and stick to his text will eventually be crowned with success. Publish a paper that will compel all manner of men to read it and conduct the business office on a similar principle and you will get your justice, your mercy and your liberty and the truth you yourself can to some extent furnish. North Carolina seems to be a most excellent field on which the Pacific Coast can and does draw for colored help. Rev. G. H. Smith, who is a preacher in the A. M. E. Zion Church, has recently completed arrangements whereby a large colored colony from North Carolina is to settle in Vallejo, California. Perhaps 90 per cent of all of the colored folk in California came from North Carolina, as in two or three different occasions in the past large colonies of colored people emigrated to the coast from North Carolina. Many of these not only settled in California, but even drifted to the north west and are to be found at present both in Seattle and Tacoma as well as many in Portland, Oregon. Colored emigrants from no other Southern state in great numbers have never left for the coast and to induce them to do so seems utterly impossible notwithstanding the fact that they can get wages in this state both in the cities and in the country from three to five times greater than those they get in the South.

This paper learns from the Cen- tvalia Chronicle, the Everett Herald, the Whatcom Reveille and the Port. land Oregonian that each of those towns have turned down the Snoqual- mie power proposition to furnish light and power for those cities. Even Se attle, the home of this power company, has refused to give it any rights in the city, all of which would seem to indicate that the Snoqualmie Power Company is not a good thing and won't get any pushing along by municipal- ‘eax teavaltn “Patio: We quite agree with the Winiock Pilot in its assertion “some of our Sunday papers must think that their readers are exceedingly interested in what the old world’s royalty is doing from the amount of silly stuff that is dished up every week for the delecta- tion of the public.” Just why the pub: lie should be told all about royalty in almost every issue of the daily papers is quite a puzzle. Suppose royalty is doing this or that thing, in what way, please, is the average American inter- ested? Prince Henry came to the United States and our citizens played fool over him and now the Prince of Wales threatens to come in order that he can have it done to him as well. Preachers and Theaters. ‘The Whatcom Reveille is not alto- gether right in its assertion that the war on the theatre made by the minis- ters of Everett will result in emptying their pews because church folk for a general thing do not believe in theatre going and the ministers are but voic- ing the sentiment of a majority of their members in opposing such. The atre goimg may not be bad, in fact it is not, in our opinion, but it is against the rules of most of the Christian ‘churehes.-and if you-agree to abide by As has been previously said in these columns, Will E. Humphries is likewise making the fight of his life to secure this nomination. He has been a conspicuous figure in polities in this city for a good many years. Has twice been elected corporation counsel and has been a delegate to pretty nearly every county and state convention for the past decade or more. He has campaigned the coun- ty and the state and has made bril- liant speeches wherever he has ap- ‘peared on either the stump or the rostrum. Unfortunately, however, for Mr. Humphries he has allied himself with the Humes faction and perhaps that may be the cause of his defeat owing to the fact that the opposite faction would not feel inclined to support him because he has made such a relentless war on them. If Mr. Humphries can control the Humes faction in King county he may yet be able to land right side up with care, as he would also get some strength from all of the other fac- tions in the county. Another draw- back to Will E, Humphries lies in the fact that most people are of the opin- ion that he is a brother to John E. Humphrey, who is also a candidate for supreme judge and has been for the past six years. If Mr. Humphrey was eliminated from the supreme judge contest Will Humphries would stand a much better show of being nominat- Gaius eeatansaaia Judge R. A. Ballinger, who was once a political power in Jefferson county, but who subsequently moved to Seattle and cast his lot with the same faction as did Will E. Hum. phries, is also a receptive candidate for the congressional nomination that is supposed to fall to the lot of King county, Judge Ballinger is a strong and scholarly gentleman and would make a splendid showing in congress, and would make a splendid showing at the primaries providing he can over- come the factional opposition to him which has been quite pronounced in the past.

PASE Tener meee eee If the persons coming from the East cannot do as well in this state as in the states and places from whence they came there would seem to be no excuse for them coming West, and when the Walla Walla Argus reasons to the contrary, then it is destroying the motive that prompts thousands of persons in the East to come West. ‘They come West with the hope of bet- tering their condition, and unless they do they will become dissatisfied and will sooner or later return to the East. King County Congressman. Most of the country papers, espe cially in Western Washington, favor the idea of King county making a strike for one of the Congressional nominations and the idea advanced by the Sidney Independent to the effect that the King county politicians would make a serious blunder if they did not make every effort to secure a congress: man to the next election seems to be the concensus of opinions of the coun- try papers, which opinion is quite in accordance with the opinions of the leading politicians of King county.

SEATTLEDOM More Gambling. Speaking about the gambling situa. tion in this city, it has been learned that during the four years and fow months that Humes has been mayor of Seattle the boss gamblers have paid in to the city exchequer $184,900, which sum the boss gamblers declare over their own signatures is but four per cent of the earnings of the gamblers. If this astounding sum is but four per cent, what on earth must the other 96 per cent be? To run gambling de- vices in Seattle is certainly a profit able business, and no wonder there is so much fuss being made over it, and like wise no wonder that Clancy is holding out for his twenty per cent cut, which at the same ratio for the hext two years would mean a net pro- fit to the Clancys of $369,800, and such a sum is worth squabbling over. If the gamblers have been permitted ‘through Mr. Humes’ influence to fleece the public out of so large a sum of money as the above figures would in- dicate they should be willing to pay the Humes machine not only a twenty per cent cut, but they should be will ing to cut it in two for the benefit of the Humes machine. City in Gin Basinass, Some time ago E. L. Blaine sug. gested that the city go into the gamb. ling business and open a public gamb- ling hall as a means of revenue for the city’s own financial good, Regard. less of what Mr. Blaine had in mind in making this suggestion, neverthe- less it is a splendid idea and the same is herewith endorsed. If $185,000 is only a four per cent cut of the en- tire gambling earnings of this city it would seem to indicate that the gamb- ling business in Seattle is exceeding. ly profitable and that should the city g0 into the gambling business on its own hook and prevent private gam- bling houses from being run at least fifty per cent of the earnings of such houses would be clear profit, and ff the houses would earn as much in the next two years as they have in the past two years, the city would find itself the possessor of a sufficient amount of money coming from the gambling houses to carry on the en- tire government and thereby relieve the taxpayers of having to pay any assessments on thelr property for the maintenance of the city government. If gambling is wrong the city is com: mitting as much sin in allowing others to conduct it as to conduct it itself and in as much as it is a paying institution it is suggested the taxpay- ers get the full benefit of such wrong dealings, and as stated above, this pa- per endorses the ideas advanced by Mr. Blaine, that the city of Seattle open a public gambling house for its express benefit. eS aie a ee Strange things happen in this queer old world of ours and so strange are they that one is often at a loss for an explanation of them. Some time ago the Associated Press dispatches told of a Caucasian in North Carolina, who petitioned to the governor of that state to change the date on which he was to be hanged because a man of Afri- can descent would be hanged in the same town on the same day and hanged from the same scaffold, and he, the Caucasian, objected to such social equality. Once a white woman in Natchez, Mississippi, who had com- mitted an awful crime, pleaded with those who had called for an officer that if she was to be arrested for God sake call a white officer, as she seriously and religiously objected to such social equality as being arrested by a nigger. In Atlanta, Georgia, not long since, the judge of the municipal court discharged a white woman whom he had found guiity of petty thieving. drunkenness and general dissipation, because she objected to riding in the “hurry up wagon” with a colored wo /man, who was-a ke criminal, “Excuse me,” she excliimed, “from such social equality.” And now comes a super for court judge of this county and tears a mother from her four little children because the mother had married 4 Japanese and the judge perhaps ob Jected to such social equality. All o these social objections to a weaker race on the part of the Caucasian are similar to the man who could see th pigeon on the barn, but could not se the barn, which prompts the writer t repeat as above “that queer things hap pen in this old world of ours.” Knew Too Much. If fewer persons were not so wise there would be fewer accidents re- ported by the daily press in not only this city but all over the country. Last Sunday evening a man lost his life be- cause he persisted in trying to handle a live electric light wire when he ‘knew no more about electricity than PASSING EVENTS a wooden man. Others had to be ‘driven back by the police to prevent them from doing the same thing, and that too while one man was lying in front of them a corpse. It too fre- quently happens that men rush into such things with the view of impress. ing the bystanders of their great knowledge and ability to handle dan- gerous things and as a result they either lose their lives outright or are maimed for life. A good rule to ob- serve is to keep your hands, and not only your hands, but likewise your tongue, out of things that you are not conversant yith. Electricity is a dan- gerous force and one that not even those who pretend to be experts with it knows anything about, and in order to prevent serious accidents it is a good idea to always walk around an electric light wire even if it is not connected, because you do not know, as the little boy said, “what a dead hen might do.” A half a dozen or more persons were seriously injured last Sunday evening by an electric light wire when there was no excuse nor reason for it. ‘The wire was down and if those who discovered it had kept their hands off it and called for some one from the company’s office to come and attend to it, no one would have been injured, but in order to show to the bystanders that they had no fear of even an electric light wire they wilfclly rashed in to their death.

So much has been said along the line of changing the date of the inau- guration of the president of the United States from the 4th of March that a committee appointed by the senate has agreed to ix the last Thursday in April as the imauguration day of the president of the United States. Suck a date would certainly be more generally acceptable to all of the states of the Union than the present ‘one because by the last of April the weather especially in Washington, D. C,, is always pleasant and balmy. The last Thursday in April is in the midst of spring and this is the most pleaes- ant season of the year in that sec- tion of the country and it is predict: ed that the inauguration will be more generally attended if congress fixes this day for installing the new presi- dent into office. ‘haat Gonaterss Pan tivae lun wale poe eee ‘result of his work: Of the 86 senators, eeeeeteean 0a oy ate eridge and Kearns each being 39 ae oe ine o pees ee ena en GS; octet ot Ulmet cit Depes ot New Yor, 0; Bias of West vi Hale of Maine 65; Hanne’ of ‘OM tee marie sae oar AFRO - AMERICANISM aoc oe | Burned at the Stake. of the desperate man, who had decide | The burning of human beings at the to sell out his life as dearly as po stake has become so common in many sible.

Mourned for Him. ‘There must be quite a demand for ‘criminal lawyers among the Afro ‘Americans of Kansas City, Missourl, as one of the weekly papers published in that city in their interest: mourns almost without comfort the death of Attorney B. L., Woodson, who was one of the most noted criminal lawyers in that section of the country. It is hard to lose an able and efficient man whether he be lawyer, doctor or Indian chief, but it is suggested that the col- ored folk had better give up those things that leads them into the criminal courts, even if the criminal lawyer does not get as much practice and make as much money as his talent would seem to merit. There is no denying the fact that the colored folk are mixed up altogether in too many criminal escapades for their own good, and the sooner they give up some of those habits the better for the pro- gress of the race to which they be long. ‘There are few spots in the United States in which there is a greater aggregation of colored erim- inals than in Kansas City, and this perhaps accounts for Mr. Woodson’s great tact and talent as a criminal law- year, having been so well developed during his lifetime, and by being able to get them out of a good many of their serapes probably explains why they so sorely regret his death. Se ee ie Justice, mercy, truth and lnerty," is the motto of a weekly paper, which has just begun publication in Wash- ington, D. C. Such a motto is deserv- ing of having eminated from a saint instead of a newspaper sinner, and if that paper sticks to its text you can rest assured that it will not be pub- lished very many weeks. A more ap- propriate motto would have been “get there.” ‘The newspaper man who will adopt such a motto and stick to his text will eventually be crowned with Success. Publish a paper that will compel all manner of men to read it ‘and conduct the business office on a similar principle and you will get your Justice, your mercy and your liberty and the truth you yourself can to some extent furnish. North Carolina seems to be a most excellent field on which the Pacific Coast can and does draw for colored hhelp. Rev. G. H. Smith, who is a preacher in the A. M. E. Zion Church, ‘has recently completed arrangements whereby a large colored colony from North Carolina is to settle in Vallejo, California. Perhaps 90 per eent of ail of the cotored folk in California came from North Carolina, as in two or three ‘different occasions in the past large colonies of colored people emigrated {to the coast from North Carolina. Many of these not only settled in Cali fornia, but even drifted to the North- west and are to be found at present jboth in Seattle and Tacoma as well [25 many in Porta, Oregon, Colored emigrants from no other Southern | state in great numbers have never left for the coast and t> induce them to do So seems utterly impossible notwith- standing the fact that they can get wages in this state both in the cities ‘and in the country from three to five times greater than those they get in the South ‘Guitinnedon 4a: cece.

Carter will not live long enough to enjoy his ill gotten gains. Too bad for Carter at least. From the recent spring election returns in the various municipalities the country seems to still be in the anti-Democratic column. Now Mr. Weekly Newspaperman, get your wits as well as your bids in shape and sail in to capture the county printing for the ensuing year. Dry Sundays in Greater New York are the harbingers of very damp Mondays, but the toper has at least had one day in which to rest up. Congressman Richardson's Danish West Indies sensation has been becalmed and is now a limp and lifeless laggard at the mercy of a heartless sea. The weather even on Puget Sound does not seem to be made to order these days. April and no sunshine does not look well even to persons from frozen Minnesota. We truly hope that the old lady in St. Louis who recently graduated from the high school at the advanced age of 75 years, did not spend the entire 75 years trying to graduate. Even Colonel Perkins admits that in order for him to rule the political roost next fall in Tacoma it will be necessary for him to go way back and sit down for at least a brief season. Now if President Roosevelt will just force General Miles off the face of the earth as completely as he has Admiral Schley his nomination for the presidency in 1504 will be doubly assured. --- "To commit murder in Seattle is preferable to robbing a victim of a quarter of a dollar in Dawson City," comes from a Dawson City paper and there is more truth than poetry in the allegation. President Roosevelt is now in South Carolina, and if the Tillmanites wish to show themselves off to the best advantage we suggest that they burn a few niggers at the stake for his especial edification. Count Cragwell may be an all right Spaniard, but he should stick to his job and not try to get a political position as a Negro. Work them one at a time, old man, and they will last longer. If Colonel Blethen becomes a supporter of Harold Preston and the Times his organ and Governor McGraw does not jump his job, then truly will politics have made strange bed fellows. Perhaps the colored voters of Seattle did not know what they wanted, but they seem to have had a very distinct idea of what they did not want. They did not want a libertine as a park commissioner and they would not have him. Those merchants of Seattle who are averse to advertising in weekly papers show their ignorance of the real situation more than business sagacity. A well edited weekly paper is always a welcome visitor to the homes of our most reliable citizens and when the merchant overlooks them it is very evident that he is not keeping himself in touch with the public's pulse. The Chinese exclusion bill may injure the United States commercially speaking in the far East, but better for this government to be injured in the far East than to be injured at home, and for that reason congress has passed a far more rigid exclusion act than was the Geary bill. The labor unions to the contrary notwithstanding, the Chinese are not the class of foreign laborers that should be encouraged to come to this country and congress has struck a popular cord in excluding them, not only from the United States proper, but from our insular possessions as well. A Distinguished Colored Lady. Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton, of Seattle, Wash., who has been visiting Mrs. Teister, her aunt, left the city yesterday afternoon for Chicago to visit her sister. Mrs. Cayton goes from Chicago to Carlisle, Penn., and from there to Washington, D. C., then back to Washington, then to her home in Seattle. She is associate editor of the Seattle Republican, a paper edited by her husband. Her father was the first United States senator of color and sat in the seat once occupied by Jefferson Davis of the Confederacy. Mrs. Cayton is a graduate of Rust University, Holly Springs, Miss., and of the Normal School, Covington, Ind. Four years ago she was professor of literature in Rust University. She is of a charming disposition, making friends wherever she goes.-Crawfordsville (Ind.) Daily Journal. --- The Seattle Republican is a great paper—fearless exponent of the rights of MAN (colored), but its editor made a pass at the Times last week that shows his sense of humor, as well as his "horse" sense to be about as highly developed as that of the average clam. —Island County Times. POLITICAL POT PIE low get the nomination. Turning down a certain thing for an uncertain thing does not meet Judge Ballinger's political approval, and he wil endeavor to either have himself nominated or some other King county man for congress at the next state convention. Some weeks ago one of the weekly local papers said that Milo A. Root, ex-prosecuting attorney of Thurston county and a candidate for supreme judge from King county two years ago, would be a candidate for congress from King county this year. In speaking to Mr. Root of the prospective nomination he said: "Thus far I have not given the matter the slightest consideration and if I am a candidate for the congressional nomination I do not at this time know anything about it. I have made no such declaration, nor can I say that any such nomination has been even thought of by me, and as already said, do not know that I will be. However, there are very few men in this Northwest that would dodge behind a tree if he happened to see a congressional nomination coming down the road looking for him, and if I should happen to see one looking for me I do not surmise that I would hide from it. In other words, if it came to me unsolicited I would take it, but, I repeat, I am in no sense aspiring for such honors." . . . The name of James A. Kerr is still being mentioned in connection with the congressional nomination, and if he will consent to the use of his name it is more than probable that he will be Mr. Humphries' strongest opponent. Mr. Kerr is one of the cleanest as well as most popular attorneys in this city. He stands well with all factions, and neither the Wilson nor the anti-Wilson factions in this community could consistently fight him if he should become a candidate. He has not mixed up in the local fights one way or the other, and the Plemaker is therefore constrained to believe that Mr. Kerr would make the most suitable candidate of all those herein mentioned. ... And now comes the report that the gamblers of this city have decided to make West Seattle a genuine Monte Carlo and open up games there on a most extensive as well as elaborate style. If West Seattle incorporates, and it looks as though it will, the county authorities would in a way be powerless to prevent such a coupe on the part of the gamblers, and if they could prevent it the present county officers would hardly do so, as it appears they are exceedingly favorable to wide-open gambling. Both the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff of this county are Democrats and Democrats for a general thing believe in the flourishing of vice of all kinds, though they sometimes advocate that it be kept under proper restrictions. West Seattle would make a great hell dive where the young men and young women of the city could be enticed by that class of semi-human beings who take special delight in entrapping young girls and boys into a life of ruin and shame, but they do the same thing right here in Seattle, and after all if they can get a foothold on the other side of the bay why not encourage them in doing so? SEATTLEDOM Continued from 1st page. of those men righteously deserved dismissal from the police force of this city. If the man whose house Corbett attempted to search without a warrant, had have shot him down in his hall he would have committed no unlawful act, for a man's home is his castle, and no man has a right to enter therein unless he is clothed with the full power and authority of the law. If Walter Eason had been sent to the penitentiary for a term of years for horsewhipping young Dickinson he would have gotten his just deserts, for to an American citizen, nothing is so humiliating as being horsewhipped, and for such reasons the public is thoroughly convinced that those men have not been unjustly dealt with by the civil service board, and believe that they should have been punished even more severely than they were for the unlawful acts that they committed. Keep Each Other Straight. Judge George has become famous for keeping hoboes straight, owing to the fact that he sends so many of them to the chain gang. "Yes," said he, one day this week. "I keep a good many hoboes straight in this city, but after holding two sessions of court each day for six days in the week, I am willing to concede to the hoboes that they keep me pretty nearly as straight as I do them. At every session of the court there are a number of those petty offenders, whose tales of woe are to be gone over, which, for the most part, is nothing different from that told by hundreds of others, as the charges are all about one and the same thing. Deniston's Office Dream. Talk about your swell offices, but the northwest boasts of no nicer quarters than those which General Passenger Agent A. B. C. Deniston and his assistant, S. G. Yerkes, have fitted up for the Great Northern. The man, woman or child who does not pronounce those quarters an office dream has no conception of an office dream, and yet Mr. Deniston says he still has more to add to it. COUNTRY PRESS OPINIONS Continued from First Page Many Apple Trees. There is no doubt but that the citizens in and about Cloverdale the preparing for an applandle just as strongly as they have already prepared for a Cloverland, for it is learned from the Clarkston Republican that 12,000 young apple trees have been shipped to that section during the past ten days. Cloverland is not far from Vineland, and is near the borderline between Washington and Idaho, which is one of the finest apple growing sections of the Northwest. That Dawning Dawn. The Ellensburg Dawn predicts that if David Bennett Hill lives to see March 4th, 1905, he will be president of the United States. Perhaps he will, but generally speaking, the Dawn is a mighty poor predictor, for it predicted the election of William Jennings Bryan and predicted it twice in succession and the last time it missed its prediction a hundred per cent further than it did the first time, and it is highly probable that it will miss it even worse in its predictions that Mr. Hill will be the next president than it did in both of its predictions that Mr. Bryan would be president. Dig at Blethen. The Big Bend Empire is of the opinion that Blethen is preparing to tap Turner's pocketbook because the Times declares that Seattle must have a representative at Washington and that he will be a Republican. Now here is a prediction that comes pretty nearly hitting the nail on the head. Either the Times is preparing to tap Turner's pocketbook or it is preparing to tap Preston's pocketbook, but whichever it is you can rest assured that somebody's pocketbook is going to be tapped by the Times. Matrimonial Beauties. We learn from the Rosalia Citizen that an Eastern man is trying to arrange with Seattle parties for the wholesale shipment of "Eastern beauties," with which to flood the matrimonial market of Seattle. It seems to us that the matrimonial market is already flooded if the divorce mills of this county prove anything, and to bring another shipment West to further burden the divorce courts of Seattle and the Northwest would be a most shameful travesty on human patience. Anderson's Appointment Here's an excerpt taken from the Wilbur Register that will be read with much pleasure by a good many persons in Western Washington: "We note that A. M. Anderson has been reappointed agent for the Cilville Indian Agency, and feel assured that the appointment could not have fallen to a more worthy man." Colonel Anderson has a host of friends in Seattle who feel the same way and they hope his appointment will be confirmed and that he will continue to look after the interests of the red men of the Colville Reservation. Ankeny Unannounced. In an interview in the Spokesman-Review B. D. Crocker of Walla Walla, who is Levi Ankeny's local political manager, said that so far he had been informed Mr. Ankeny has never declared himself a candidate for the senate, although he has many friends throughout the state who earnestly desire his election. If Mr. Crocker will stop and think for a minute he will remember that Mr. Ankeny has never openly announced his candidacy for the senate, but has always been in the hands of his friends, who were, for the most part, his political managers. Poker Players. From the Spokane Outburst it is learned that ping-pong has not been introduced in Spokane as yet, and if it is it is liable to meet with the "medicine hat face" as nothing of the new fangled nature can ever win the affections of the good people of Spokane from the fascinating game of draw poker. Most people thought that Spokane indulged in no game except that of political poker and that she poked the balance of the state with that game 365 days of every year.

Lucas, the well known journalist, lawyer and all around good fellow, was in the city this week on his way to Spokane. His admonition to his friends, "Don't take any bad money," does not apply to him. Charlie has never been accused of taking any counterfeit money even if the margin on the goods was 100 per cent. J. E. Hawkins entered his bull dog in the bench show this week and is expecting a second prize at least. At Victoria he was entered and took third prize among imported dogs that cost $1,000 each. It is strange how ever that Hawkins should own a dog with such a name—Peter Simple—just think of Hawkins owning something simple. The reception given in honor of Rev. J. Gordon McPherson at Mt. Zion Baptist church was a success from an intellectual point of view. Rev. Sawyer of North Seattle Baptist church, Rev. Ellis Bowerman of the First Baptist church, Rev. Campbell, City Missionary, were present and assisted by words of encouragement. Rev. Pettigrew of this city, Laurence Sledge of Tacoma and Deacon Collins, a recent arrival in the city, gave interesting talks. Refreshments were served by the ladies of the church. A number of friends met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Washington as a surprise on Mrs. Washington to celebrate her birthday, last Monday evening, April 7th. The surprise was the work of Miss Nellie Cousins, Mrs. DeBoe and Mrs. Harris. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. F. N. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. DeBoe, Mr. and Mrs. S. Thorne, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. Frank T. Anderson, Mr. and John T. Gayton and Miss Nellie Cousins. Music and games were the order of the evening. Refreshments were served by Miss Cousins, Mrs. DeBoe and Mrs. Harris. A decided sensation was created this week among the colored folk when it was learned that J. F. Cragwell was really in earnest about his candidacy for the position as one of the park commissioners, and for a while it really looked as though he would be confirmed, until the Sunday Daily Times showed up containing an interview purported to have been given out by Mr. Cragwell. It was the most shameful vilification of the Negro that has ever been published in this city. John F. Cragwell knows there is a civil rights law in this state, and if there were any Negroes who were inclined to injure his business, as he claims, they could by bringing repeated suits make his alleged fortune look like a punctured dime. Cragwell also knows that if a colored man is stopping at the Butler that his barbers must wait upon him, however distasteful it is to him or them and the fact that he has shaved colored men stopping at the Butler proves that. It would have been to his interest to have allowed that "opportunity to get into print" Heavy steel, polish- ed Meat and Carver Fork, teen inches long; strong, very handy kitchen article; each ..... 11c Same—Cooking Fork, fourteen-inch; each ..... 16c Heavy wire, three-prong Meat Fork; each ..... 4c Our Big Catalog Free to Out-of-town Folks.

Colonel Blethen is Cragwell's true (?) friend and his editorial attack on the Negroes when he learned of Cragwell's defeat was nothing but "sour grapes." If the Times is the friend of the Negroes, as it claims, "God deliver them from their friends." AMUSEMENTS. Mr. Howard Kyle will present Clyde Fitch's stirring and ennobling play "Nathan Hale," at the Grand the last three nights of next week. The sup porting company has been carefully selected. Complete scenery and prop erties are carried. "When Reuben Comes to Town." For beauty, elegance and charm the new production, "When Reuben Comes to Town," which comes to the Grand next Wednesday night, will prove one of the best musical comedies seen in this city. The popularity of the "prize beauty" chorus in this production is already gossip throughout the country. Seventeen of New York's most beautiful chorus queens comprise this special ensemble, and their many charms are most conducive to the success of this comedy.

Al. G. Field's minstrels are at the Grand the first three nights of next week. With the Al. G. Field Greater A Minstrels there is a dancing contingent consisting of twenty-four of the leading dancing exponents of the art terpsichore and who can teach a few lessons to the daisies, the waves, the stars. All the poetry there is in motion they can show and all the comedy as well, for they can, besides amazing you with intricate steps, make you laugh until your sides ache with "Nathan Hale." Field's Minstrels the funniest antics that ever emanated from the pedal extremities of human beings. The entire ensemble of nimble soled comedians appear in the characteristic dancing comedy entitled "The Light and Dark Side of Society" and are guided by that inimitable master dancing comique, Doc Quigley. "Ostler Joe," running at the Third Avenue Theater this week, acts as a sort of dramatic offset to such plays as "Zaza" and "La Madeline." The moral lesson taught in "Ostler Joe" is about the most clean-cut of any ever seen in the American drama. There is no nincing matters; the language is plain and can be understood by every one. "Ostler Joe" is a play that would move the most stocial with its intense pathos and the moral it teaches. The play will close Saturday night, and people who think should see it. The usual matinee will be given on Saturday. The attraction at the Third Avenue Theater next week, commencing with the matinee Sunday, will be "The Denver Express," a play that achieved one of the hits of last season. It contains liberal portions of rattling comedy and dramatic thrills. It is built up of the materials that appeal to theater-goers who admire the simpler virtues. The villian can always be relied upon to merit the honest hatred MUSICAL COMEDY COMES TO TOWN BY JEWELM PEELEY BOMEDICY ENG GO MY RY HILL IN BED. of his audience and the comic gentleman has an iron-bound contract with the author that he be given opportunity to furnish a laugh every thirty seconds. "The Denver Express" admits of novel scenic effects, and the company presenting it has a well established reputation for effective work. Continued from 1st page. Home for Colored Girls. And now comes Mrs. Victoria Earle Matthews, wife of Judge Matthews, of Albany, New York, and proposes to establish a working girls' home in Greater New York. This home will be thrown open to colored girls who work out during the day and go home evenings. Owing to their inability on account of high rents and their color to get comfortable quarters they are forced to live for the most part in damp, ill ventilated, as well as questionable lodging houses, and to overcome those obstacles Mrs. Matthews intends to rent, buy or lease a large, commodious building and have it furnished with all modern conveniences and then allow the girls to take rooms therein at a nominal price. It is not her intention to speculate on the rooms, but to charge a sufficient fee to make the building self-sustaining and at the same time furnish the girls a splendid home in which to reside. Perhaps no class of girls have poorer homes and quarters in which to reside than the colored working girls not only in New York, but in every other city in the United States. Their surroundings and associations are generally exceedingly bad owing to the fact that the better class of colored folk will not permit working girls to room with them, and they are forced, as said above, to take quarters in foul lodging houses and places of questionable --- "'Ostler Joe." "The Denver Express." AFRO-AMERICANISM resort. No move ever instituted by this splendid woman for humanity's sake is more deserving of success than this, and it is truly hoped that Mrs. Matthews' example in Greater New York will be emulated and followed by other cities all over the United States. A home for working girls is one that should be fostered and encouraged by every race and nationality in Christendom because no class of girls are thrown in so many vicious surroundings as much as they and some protection should be shown them by those persons whom nature seems to have better favored. Are Ready for Business. "Yes," said Dr. Samuel Burdett, president of the International Council of the World, whose offices are in the New York block, "our association has just completed its arrangements to float its bonds on its land proposition, which has for its object the irrigation and cultivation of a large tract of land. The production of the sugar beet will be one of the chief articles of cultivation on our lands. The company will not leave a stone unturned to settle as many colored families on those lands as possible. I believe Eastern Washington offers better and more inducements for the industrious and thrifty Negro than any other section of this country, and it is our object to assist them in taking advantage of those opportunities and inducements. You can say our association, which is duly incorporated under the state laws, is now open and ready for business." NOTICE. In the Superior Court of King County of Washington. In Matter of Pro- bate.
