Morris. For the past twelve years he As superior judge of this county George E. Morris may, as said the Argus a few weeks ago, live down the fact that his father was a Methodist preacher and make a most excellent judicial, his early ministerial training to the contrary notwithstanding. There is no more noble calling on earth than that of a preacher, and Mr. Morris' father having been a preacher the public can satisfy itself that the boy was started out properly in his early life, and he has remained in the proper course ever since, and when he will have been declared one of the supreme judges of King county, the judiciary roster of this state will have no purer nor better man among its number than Mr. Morris.

Morris to the position he so receive an overwhelming may cellent with the farmers and business men of this county, who made up that convention. Prior to the convention some one was heard to remark that George Morris had never set the world on fire with his legal ability, which is quite true, but he has always managed to hold his own with his legal competitors and he has never betrayed a confidence or trust imposed in him by a client, and is therefore free from what so many persons say, lawyers are always guilty of trickery and scudgery. Whenever George Morris has given a client or anyone else anything in the shape of legal advice they could and did always rely upon it, and this has given him a splendid practice since he has been in the county, and likewise given him the nomination for superior judge, which position he is likely to hold for a number of years yet to come, if he so desires. He may not be a pretentious lawyer trying to impress others with his assumed greatness, but he is a learned man at the bar, and he has done his duty well done so in a manner that has constantly attracted attention to him, and it has given him a standing in the community that even more pretentious lawyers would not object to having. The voters of King county will make no mistake in electing George E. Morris to the position he seeks next November, and it is here predicted that he will receive an overwhelming majority at the polls.

PAIGN BUTT The Seattle Republican knows no man in its long list of political acquaintances who is a more successful organizer and a harder worker in political circles than George U. Piper, who has been nominated by his Republican friends to represent the 34th senatorial district in the next legislature. Mr. Piper is no stranger to not only the voters of that district, but he is no stranger to the voters of King county, and the state of Washington in general. His prominent connection with various daily papers in this city for the past fifteen years has made his name a household word throughout the entire state and especially in the city of Seattle. It seldom happens that men connected with newspapers that do not fear to take a stand on public questions ever subsequently succeed in being nominated for an office, because in taking such jour nalistic stands the proprietors or managers of such papers make so many enemies that it seems utterly impossible to get forgiveness. Mr. Piper therefore has done what few other newspaper men could do. He has run outspoken papers and yet has been successful in organizing his district so as to get the nomination for state senator, a position much coveted by prominent politicians and leading business men. The ordinary man would never have sought a nomination in face of the opposition that confronted Mr. Piper, but he proceeded on in the even tenor of his way and succeeded in overcoming each and every obstacle that was thrown in his political pathway, and when it came to the convention he was without any opposition whatever and was unanimously nominated. Even Mr. Piper's opponent Judge Moore, who was nominated by the Democrats, publicly stated in the Democratic convention that he had no hopes of defeating Mr. Piper, owing to his popularity among the rank and file of Republican voters. One may not like the man personally, but even that one who dislikes him must admit that he is one of the best organizers that has ever struck the political pike in Seattle. If he proves to be as good an organizer in the state senate as he has been in local politics he will be a most useful man in that body during the next two sittings of the legislature. No man has the right to question Mr. Piper as to whom he will vote for for United States senator. When King county's choice for United States senator has no show of election. There is one think certain, George U. Piper will vote for some Republican to fill that position and should the Republics elect Judge Moore over Mr. Piper Judge Moore will vote for no Republican for United States senator, if there is any show of electing a Democrat, and for that reason it behooves every Republican in the district to vote for Mr. Piper in order that some Republican can be elected to the United States senate instead of a Democrat. nalistic stands the proprietorism that it seems utterly impossibly what few other newspaper rulers has been successful in organ senator, a position much covet.

He has conducted himself becomingly and in every way made an ideal citizen and stands high in his profession.

GEORGE U. PIPER J. B. H.

F. Pike county clerk. It is the intention, however, of the Democratic managers to concentrate their fight on the legislative ticket with a view of being able to assist George Turner in his fight for re-election to the United States senate. Col. Blethen is anxious for this because he wants a place made for his son Clarence, who has been nominated for the legislature from the 45th legislative district. If Turner is re-elected it is hinted that Clarence Blethen will be selected as his private secretary and at the same time represent the Times at the capitol, and thereby kill two birds with one stone. Speaking about the fight that the Democratic party proposes to make for its legislative nominees, the following has been given to the Pie-mak- When the Republican party nominated Charles Baker for county commissioner it did itself proud and placed before the public for the responsible position of county commissioner a man in whom every business man in King county has the most implicit confidence. It was frequently said before the nomination of Mr. Baker that if there was one just, upright and honorable man in King county, Baker is one. Though he has done business in Seattle for the past thirty years, not a single blot or blemish can be brought against either his character or reputation on account of any misdolls on his part during his whole business career in this city. Men who have known Baker for the past forty years were the ones who worked the hardest for his nomination. Charley Baker's name is a synonym for honesty and uprightness. What- sioner, and therefore the voters should always see to it that none other than the most responsible, reliable and trustworthy men are nominated and elected as county commissioners. Certainly Charley Baker is just such a man as is wanted and needed to fill the office of county commissioner, and his past record in Seattle will verify every statement herein made in recommending him for the place. If elected he will serve the people well and no outcry against his administration will ever be heard. Say what one would or could in the interest of Mr. Baker from an honorable upright standpoint, it would count as naught when placed in a balance beside his past record in this city. Every old timer in Seattle knows him and knows him to trust him. His word is as good as a bank note and those who have had dealings with him have always found him thus and so will the people all over the county when he will retire from the office which he hopes to be elected to next November. The Republican does not propose, in speaking of Mr. Baker, to try to give its readers any long biographical sketch of him because it is wholly unnecessary. Where and when he was born counts for naught in comparison to how he stands and has stood in this community, where he has been doing business for forty years or more. In the next legislature one of Seattle's ablest and most successful lawyers is going to represent the 44th legislative district and thereby give that district a prominence in the legislative affairs of this state that it has never before enjoyed. When the Republicans of that district nominated Irving T. Cole for the legislature they did something that they will never be ashamed of because he will not only represent his district, but he will represent the state of Washington and his labors in the legislature will be of such conservative a character as to be of interest to every citizen of the entire state. True enough he was nominated to represent that district, that is to say, he was selected from that district, but he will have more districts at heart than that one from whence he hails. He will represent Seattle native home for Seattle and soon after arriving in this city associated himself with Everett Smith in the practice of law under the firm name of Smith & Cole. Since that time the success of the firm has been almost phenomenal until today no firm in the city boasts of a more lucrative practice than that of Smith & Cole. He has during his entire life been a consistent Republican, not sulking in his tent for fancied wrongs, nor wandering off after strange gods, though a majority of his fellow Republicans did do so, but he has stood in the gateway of Republicanism and pled for the success of his party in every campaign. Mr. Cole is by no means a professional office-seeker, for never before did he seek a nomination for any office nor did he do so at this time further than to say to his friends, if they desired to nominate him he would take it as a personal favor and consider himself highly honored thereby, and would do whatever he could to bring about his election and then serve them to the best of his ability in the next state legislature. It is here predicted that Irving T. Cole will win his district by not less than 800 majority, and that is saying a good deal. --- ever business transactions he has been connected with has always ended as it began, in the most honorable and satisfactory manner to all concerned. No official position in the gift of the people of a county is more important than that of commissioner. The county commissioner holds the good of the community in he will represent King county, he will represent the state of Washington, yea, he will even represent the American people without any regard of either their political or religious beliefs. He will make a reputation for himself that will be known far and near in this state. Mr. Cole was born in Troy, New York, and is a graduate of Wil- 莲花 . . .

As to members of the lower house the Democrats do not believe that they can defeat either of the Republican nominees in the 40th legislative district, but they do believe that they can defeat Gen. Tibbitts in the 41st legislative district. They likewise have a sneaking opinion that they can defeat one or both of the nominees REPUBLICAN and the Democratic party named its most attorney against W. T.

He is peculiarly adapted to such a need of such a servant at present, he attorney Had the Democratic party named its most popular partisan attorney for prosecuting attorney against W. T. Scott, it would not then have had any more show of success at the polls than it has in having named an almost total stranger to the voters of this county for the office of prosecuting attorney. No corporation counsel of the city of Seattle ever had greater success in the city's complicated cases than did Mr. Scott while he held that honored position. The cases that he lost either in the superior court or in the supreme court for the city can be counted on the fingers of one hand. He is peculiarly adapted to such legal positions and as King county is much in need of such a servant at present, he will be elected hands down. The pros cutting attorney of King county is called upon by the county commissioners and the various county officers to give opinions on matters of the gravest importance to the entire county and to fill such a position with a stranger and that too with no mature ideas of law and opinions rendered by the various supreme courts of the of the at his support came from every faction before, reasonable to suppose that the will cut him at the polls and he will in very reason.

It is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that the members of no political faction in the county will cut him at the polls and he will in all human probability lead the ticket for this very reason. When elected he will prove to be one of the most successful prosecuting attorneys that King county has ever had. He will have no particular enemies to prosecute or friends to let go unpunished if perchance they have committed a crime. All will be treated alike. The Republican has taken pains to make much inquiry among the voters of this county about Mr. Scott's standing in the various communities and from every section of the country comes the assurance that he stands as well in one section as in another. He would be elected if the balance of the ticket would be defeated, but this is nothing to the disparagement of the other candidates, for they will be elected by just as large a majority almost as he. The Republican nominated most excellent men all through this year and the county being in the neighborhood of 5,000 majority Republican, the ticket will go sweeping into power next November. man in the 44th legislative district is a man Hon. James Weir, who has beenicans to represent that district in the at the polls in November, and he willinclusion long before the convention coid that he should have it if he wantedi that he (Weir) accept the nomination need to have been the only man in their length to the ticket. While his running is believed Ma. Weir No man in the 44th legislative district is more widely known nor more favorably known than Hon. James Weir, who has been nominated along with Mr. Cole by the Republicans to represent that district in the next legislature, which he will do if elected at the polls in November, and he will be. Mr. Weir's nomination was a foregone conclusion long before the convention convened because the people of that district said that he should have it if he wanted it. Many of them went so far as to demand that he (Weir) accept the nomination whether he wanted it or not, because he seemed to have been the only man in their opinion that could safely be elected and add strength to the ticket. While his running mate is very strong and very popular yet it is believed that Mr. Weir will poll more votes than anyone else on the ticket at the com-ming election. There are within the neighborhood of 2,500 voters in that district and conservative Democrats admit that of that number James Weir will get at least 1800. He is 'one of Seattle's foremost business men and in business has business has not only do not have the interest of the interest of either the people or the state getting all in sight for their own set.

Mr. Weir will go to Olympia with the purpose of accomplishing whatever good he can for the county and state. He will not go there with the view of making a few extra dollars for he has already made them and is perfectly able to give the time that it takes to bring about the best legislative results. It is useless in this connection to dwell further on Mr. Weir's popularity as a man, for no man regardless of his political belief or his personal popularity stands higher in that district than James Weir, and The Seattle Republican takes special pride in pointing out these facts to those of the party who are not acquainted with him. James Weir is first, last and all the time for Harold Preston for United States Senator, and the same is true of his running mate, Irving T. Cole, as well as George U. Piper, the senatorial nominee. "He has made a most admirable sheriff and he will get almost as many Republican votes this year as he did two years ago. It is the man who does his duty that the people want and they are getting so that they want such men in office regardless of their political affiliations, especially when it comes to local matters. Since Ed Cudhee has been sheriff of King county he has been on duty every day, and it matters not where duty calls him, nor how difficult and dangerous it may be, he is always found leading his forces to perform his duty, instead of sending them. The people are not unmindful of that and while the Republican nominee is a most excellent man, he has not been tried as has Mr. Cudhee, and therefore, a number of the Republicans will vote for Cudhee, notwithstanding the fact he is a Democrat. I believe in party politics, and I believe in supporting, generally speaking, the nominees of the party, but when a man has shown and proven his patriotism and his good qualifications to hold a certain position, regardless of his politics, I think it is the duty of every good citizen to vote for such a man and this has prompted me to say that Cudhee is going to make a splendid run and is going to get a number of Republican voters this year." Should Ed Cudihee be re-elected sheriff of King county this year the Piemaker predicts that he will be a candidate for governor two years from now on the Democratic ticket and the convention will nominate him for that position without a dissenting vote. The the hollow of his hands.

They have no hopes of winning either of the places in the 44th, but skipping to the 45th they hope and believe Clarence Blethen can defeat G. W. Jeffries, and to that end the Times is loaded for bear and threatens an expose, which they believe will defeat Mr. Jeffries. In the 46th neither the Senator nor the nominees for the lower house by the Democrats can win out against the Republican nominees. In the 47th Tom Church has a faint hope of defeating W. H. Lewis, but as the district has a 600 or 700 Republican majority, those who may perchance to cut Lewis or Jones would not change the result in the final count. Summing the whole of the Democratic prospects up, they hope to get three senators and four members of the legislature, and thereby give to Turner seven votes from King county in the senatorial mix-up before the next legislature.

James old Preston for United States Senator, Irving T. Cole, as well as George U. Democrats have been doing a little more prophesying for the future for their party, and an eastern Washington Democratic politician predicts that the next legislature will be Republican, but notwithstanding that it will refuse to pass the railroad commission bill and then the Republican voters of eastern Washington will break away from the party and demand the nomination of Ed Cudilhee of King county for governor, and it is thought by them that he will sweep eastern Washington like a cyclone, and at the same time run like a scared wolf at the polls in King county and western Washington in general. This, of course, is far fetched, but it only shows how the average politician figures out success for himself and his party. It is laughable to hear Democrats talk about how Clarence Blethen is going to beat G. W. Jeffries, the Republican nominee for the legislature in the 45th district. Clarence Blethen is not even popular in the district; he is not even known in the district; he cannot even get the full Democratic vote in the district and as to the labor vote it will be against him to a man. Clarence Blethen is nothing more or less than a protege of his father, who will go to the legislature, should he be elected, to do whatever "pa" says, and represent pa instead if his constituency, just as he does in the newspaper. Now "pa" does not stand very well with the labor people in this city and you can rest assured that they won't vote for pa's boy. "Pa's" paper --- land, would be a most dangerous precedent for any county to set much less King county, and therefore the voters of this county will elect Mr. Scott over Mr. Freed Dale Wood by not less than 5,000 majority. The Republican notes with pleasure that in the county convention W. T. Scott was not opposed by any factional click or been a huge success. No man in Seattle has been a greater success in private business than n. Mr. Weir and for that reason the voters of that district believe him to be the very best man to represent them in the legislature.

CLARK Fall has fallen and we all feel it Preachers in some instances seem to be as successful in grafting as the lower end prince. An extra of the Seattle Times last Tuesday made the startling announcement that President Roosevelt suffered from indigestion. Those persons kicking most about the large sums of money the trusts are pilling up for themselves are only hot because they are not in on the deal. A Tacoma paper has taken exceptions to a Seattle paper declaring it has but 37,000 inhabitants. Even that number, in our opinion, neighbor, was stretching things. Charging the Republican party with insincerity, as do all Democratic spell-binding platform writers, seems rather funny in the face of the general prosperity the country over at this time. Sweden boasts of the lowest death rate of any other civilized nation. It must be true, judging from the number of Swedes that are annually coming to this country looking for elbow room. Lord Kitchener is of the opinion that "one America is as much as the civilized world can put up with," and, in our opinion, it is one more than they can put up with when there is a scrap on. President Roosevelt continues to do politics from a political standpoint in spite of Democratic criticisms and Populistic complainers, and the beauty about the whole affair is that he seems to be pleasing the people. "If Jesus were on earth today," as writes a crazy poet in the Plumbers' Journal. You can bet your bottom dollar that he would not be hanging about dram shops and boozing as do most of the plumbers. Tom McGraw may have been born with a "silver spoon in his mouth," as runs the old adage, but he seems to be made of the kind of stuff that's able to live down any such foolishness as that. "Will The Novel Disappear?" is a headline. Well, it most certainly will, if the men whose wives become so much absorbed in reading them that their meals are never on time, can only get their hands on the novel. That sea serpent story from Anacortes would indicate that a number of new brands of whiskey are on tap up there and those fellows who saw the wonderful serpent seems to have sampled those brands once too often. Paris, France, is out with the only literary freak of the age, being a little girl only ten years of age, who has written seven plays, five novels and a volume of poems. My, me, oh my, what an early age to go dead daffy at. It is only Democrats without a ghost of a show of electing even a yaller dog that advocate taking the judiciary elections out of politics. They hope by this means to occasionally get a Democrat elected to office. We agree that the judiciary should be taken out of politics, but we want it distinctly understood before it is taken out that only Republicans are to be elected to judiciary positions. West Canada is said to be having quite an immigration boom just now, and, remarkable as it may seem, the most of the immigrants are from the United States. Wouldn't be surprised if a second Uncle Sam showed up from that section. Washington's state university, located in Seattle, is now in its forty-second year, and it is just as childish and fickle as if it were only in its second year. More stability and business-like qualities are needed in the affairs of the state university. If Herman Quandt wants anything at the hands of the city council all he needs to do is to ask for it and it is his. We were unaware that Quandt had been instrumental in electing the present council, but the indications seem to point that way. It is well that candidate Cotterill has just returned from Europe, as he can talk about something which he knows about, and this he could not have done as a Democratic stump speaker talking about free silver and its attending foolish sattelites. We believe that the Anglo-Saxons can force relief for the Jews and we believe they can likewise force relief for the Negro from the lyncher's limb, and if they are the noble-hearted people they proclaim themselves to be—God's elect—they will do both of them. The Republicans carried Maine by 26,000 majority, while the Democrats carried Arkansas by 47,000 majority. This would seem to indicate a hoss and hoss between the parties and in fact it would be if Arkansas was not inhabited by heathens and barbarians, while Maine is inhabited by Christians and patriots. "McKinley Hall," which has been secured by the Spokane Democracy as their headquarters, will doubtless hear strange sounds and peculiar doctrines promulgated therein for the next six weeks, so strange and peculiar that they will even cause the man after whom the hall was named to almost turn in his grave. Speaker Henderson stands pat in his declining the nomination for re-election to Congress from his district. Something must have gone wrong with Mr. Henderson, which prompts him in childish rage to refuse to play any more or he has a presidential bee in his bonet, which has to some extent beclouded his political thinking faculties. The State Press has been entertained this week by the good citizens of Walla Walla and the freedom of the city accorded to the gang. While we were unable to be present yet we believe that they took advantage of the freedom of the city, and there was not much left in Walla Walla even to Ankney's bank when the boys got through using the freedom of the city. Thit Birmingham catastrophe, in which 110 persons were instantly killed and twice or three times that many, more or less, injured, shows how absolutely necessary and important it is that church exits, where large congregations assemble, be wide and commodious, absolutely free from jams, because you do not know when such stampedes will take place, even in the best regulated churches. Much is being said about tariff revision just now, and, strange to say, it is being said by Republicans instead of Democrats. It seems to us that Republicans would get tired of making issues for Democrats and leave them to make their own issues. Governor McBride made a Democratic issue in this state and now Speaker Henderson and other Republicans are making an issue for the Democrats of this country by reviving the old tariff nuisance. It begins to look as if Uncle Sam proposes to build an isthmus canal whether the South American objects are willing or unwilling. Already he has troops and dogs of war stationed by the isthmus on both sides for the protection of United States interests there and only last Tuesday Colombian soldiers were compelled to pass over the isthmus unarmed and with a United States escort, which is nothing more or less than the United States government has taken forcible possession of the Isthmus of Panama. The signs of the times as seen by the Walla Walla Statesman, which predicts that Francis W. Cushman will be Frinked by the Levites in Walla Walla county and the other counties of the state will absolutely fail. The friends of Levi Ankney are not going to cut Cushman even though he was nominated contrary to their wishes and expectations. We admit that two years ago Mr. Frink was knifed by the Republican, but such a thing will not be done again soon in the state of Washington. The Republican are truly sore over what they did in 1900 and they will repair the wrong if such can be done by voting in overwhelming numbers for the party nominees for the next few years to come. What does the Island County Times mean when it says "The only difference between the Republican and Democratic state convention was six days." We admit that only six days intervened between the holding of the two conventions, but there was as much difference between the two from a political standpoint as day and night; the latter as usual advocating theories, hypothesis, visions and dreams, while the former reiterated and rehabilitated the general prosperity that prevails all over the country at present and promised to keep it up, and that was the real difference between the two conventions. It strikes us that the presecuting attorney's office has been trying to film-flam Paul Underwood and his wife by taking snap judgment on them. It is rather remarkable that all of the Underwood attorneys should have unexpectedly withdrawn from the case, leaving them in the hands of perfect strangers to conduct their defense, and it is still more striking that the prosecuting attorney's office fought against a continuance under the circumstances. Any man, whether official or otherwise, who will toy with a human being's life is a monster "of such hideous mein, that to be hated needs but to be seen." SPOKANE PERSONAL Mrs. Cora E. Comer, of Wallace, Idaho, is in the city for a few days. Mr. William Rumpford has gone north with a hunting party. The Calvary Baptist Church gave a dinner Thursday evening.

Phone Union 24, Deliveries North of Pike Phone Main 588, Deliveries South o Pike --- TALES OF THE TOWN --- "An idea has struck me," said a well known Seattleite one day this week "why would it not be a splendid thing for the state of Washington to elect Harold Preston United States senator and to select E. M. Carr, his law partner, as his bouncer. To me it would be a capital idea. If any of the senators should object to any bill presented by Preston he could call upon his partner and bouncer to throw the objecting senators out of the capitol and the others seeing that would at once vote for Mr. Preston's bills and Seattle might be able by that means to get very important measures through the Senate. I am prompted to say this because I saw by the morning paper that Gen. Carr cleaned out a saloon one day this week, single handed and alone, and then I call to mind a number of other street fights that Mr. Carr has been mixed up in, and though he frequently gets pretty badly battered up, yet he, for the most part, holds his own. I think that Seattle couldn't do a better thing than to elect Preston senator and select Carr as his bouncer and then send the brace to Washington to have laws passed for Seattle's commercial interests." . . . Both Attorneys Snell of Tacoma and Ronald of Seattle have withdrawn from the Underwood case and they withdrew under very peculiar circumstances. Mr. Snell made a feeble attempt to explain why he withdrew, but it was so feeble that it looked almost criminal, while Mr. Ronald has shown a little better judgment and offered no explanations whatever. The Underwood case has been on tap ever since early in the summer and it was supposed by everybody and especially by the Underwoods that they had employed the best counsel in the Northwest and that the attorneys had prepared the case and would be ready for trial when called September 22, but instead of being ready for trial they withdrew from the case a few days prior to its being called in the courts and new attorneys had to be employed, who knew nothing of the facts and in spite of this the case was forced to trial and the new attorneys were compelled to do the best they could in the way of securing evidence, having entered the case at the eleventh hour. For attorneys to treat clients, charged with so grave an offense as that which Paul Underwood is confronting at present, as did both Underwood's aforesaid attorneys, seems almost criminal, and clients should have some recourse at law to sue attorneys for taking their cases and permitting them to go within a few days of trial and then deserting the case. If the attorneys in this case didn't join issues to hold up the Underwoods and their friends for fabulous sums of money the facts would seem to indicate as much and not being able to bleed their clients they withdrew from the case and left them at the mercy of a prosecuting attorney, who has apparently put in the whole summer trying to dig up evidence to convict them, whether guilty or not. "It strikes me that Dugdale is a complete baseball fakir," said a well-known journalist one day this week, "and the way he has won and lost his games during the season prompted me to arrive at such a conclusion. Seattle being a splendid base ball town, Dugdale seems to win or lose as will bring out the largest number of spectators. Of course, the people enjoy the game, but there is no doubt of the fact that Dugdale as well as the visiting team knows when to lose and when to win in order to bring out the largest crowds. In other words baseballism of our later-day civilization is no less a fake than yellow journalism and other professionalisms that do things more for the sake of the money that's in it than for the real merit that's in it." . . . A man named Tisdale recently stat- ed that Seattle is not as well posted on Southeastern Alaska as she ought to be, and there is some strong proof to support this contention. . . . Only a short time ago that able body of men, the Chamber of Commerce, passed a resolution favoring territorial government for Alaska, which was hasty and ill advised, and when Gov. Bady, of that district, stated the objections to self-government before that body of loyal citizens, they promptly annulled their former action. --- The Chamber of Commerce has, it is understood, been also resoluting in favor of a homestead law for Alaska, when if the law passed on that subject and which went into effect on May 14th, 1898, was simply enforced as it should be, homestead entries would have been made since that time and the district would now be further advanced toward the time when it will be entitled to territorial government. --- The boundary question is a matter that the Chamber of Commerce has apparently entirely ignored, and yet it is of the most vital importance. A considerable tract of land in the Porcupine district which was in the possession of the United States since Alaska was purchased from Russia, was temporarily turned over into the possession of the Canadians and action should be urged that will result in the restoration of this property to its owner. Yes, there no doubt is some evidence that goes to show that Seattle does not understand Alaska's needs. The Chamber of Commerce should take up the slack in its belt and open up these live issues in an intelligent and businesslike manner. If they lack information, it can easily be obtained from the many intelligent ex-Alaskans who reside in this city. . . . A prominent Republican in speaking of Alaska said that what Alaska needs more than anything else is a good, live, energetic and able Washington Senator, and John L. Wilson is the man to answer that description. There is no doubt that the ex-senator is the ablest man we have ever had to represent us in Congress. "But I do not like Seattle a little bit," said a fastidious down easter one day this week. You can scarcely get up and down the business streets for the crowds and the building material scattered from one end of the street to the other and for the workmen on the streets putting in and taking out pipes and other improvements. And then again it is almost impossible to get even standing room on the street cars, they have such a jam of passengers, and that horrid jam is to be found in the hotels, restaurants, stores and every other place you go, and for these reasons I do not like Seattle a little bit." There you are. Because Seattle is full of life and animation, shows signs of progress and prosperity in every place and position it is condemned. Some people would complain if they were in Heaven. Everything charged against Seattle herein is true, absolutely true, but it is on account of those very things that Seattle is generally sought by enterprising Americans. Seattle is no "dead one" and no one need come here expecting to find it so. . . . In the 1900 campaign Hon. Will E. Humphrey, who is now a candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket, but who at that time was stumping the state in the interests of the Republican ticket, used the following very strong language regarding the rights of the colored citizens of this country: P. A. M. souls went up to their God that others might be free; when I remember all this, then I ask, why is the liberty of the brown man, in the Philippines, fighting against the flag so dear, and the liberty of the black man in the South, who always fights for the flag, so cheap? When I remember these things, then I, for one, believe that the colored race of the South has more right to protection, more right to appeal to the Declaration of Independence, more right to be governed only by their consent—yes, ten thousand times more right than that band of traitors and assassins, headed by Aguinaldo, who attacked our flag and murdered our soldiers! "The Democratic party talks of the Declaration of Independence, talks of the consent of the governed, but during all the years prior to the war, that the Democratic party controlled this nation, the Declaration of Independence was a living lie, and it so remained until the Republican party, under the leadership of Abraham Lincoln, made it a reality. It is a living reality today, and always has been in every state of this Union controlled by the Republican party. It is a living lie today and always has been in every state of this Union that is hopelessly Democratic." Mr. Humphrey will be called upon within the next two years to back up what he said in the above assertion as the Negro question will be one of the prominent questions before the coming Congress, and if he meant what he said he will have an opportunity to put what he said in practical operation. In talking to him about this article one day this week he made bold the assertion that he was still of a like opinion and that if the question of Negro suffrage came before the next Congress, which he felt absolutely certain it would do and felt equally certain that he would be a member of it, he would make good his assertions on the stump by his actions in the halls of Congress. mois.

NORRIS. ..The speaker of the day at the Emancipation celebration, Mr. Norris, has concluded to take up the "white man's burden" and consequently will be heard in the Republican campaign 'ere its close. A Fitting Celebration of an Event That Ushered in a New Regime and Gave Civilization a Heritage of Freedom. (By J. H. Ryan.) In the pavilion at beautiful Leschi Park, on the shore of Lake Washington, one thousand persons of a mixed audience assembled to do homage to the 40th anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro. There are those that hold that the Negro as a race was not emancipated until the first of the year following the date of the issuance of that immortal manuscript. Be that as it may, such trifles as that did not deter this committee from pulling off this celebration. The stage was handsomely festooned with the national colors and portraits of Roosevelt, Lincoln, John Brown, Hancock, McKinley, Booker T. Washington and Grant. The president's portrait adorned the stage to the right, while immediately back of him was Booker T. Washington. The decorator no doubt had in mind the "Roosevelt dinner." Strange as it may appear, the man who labored most assiduously for the freedom of the Negro, the late Frederick Douglas, his portrait was conspicuous by its absence, and it remained for one of the speakers to call the attention of the audience to this fact, also that of Lovejoy, Garrison, Phillips and Langston. The master of ceremonies was John F. Cragwell, who presided in his usual suave manner, giving a polish wherewhee needed, and diplomatically condensing a two-night program into a "one-night stand." Mr. Laurence Sledge, the well-known attorney, made a sensible talk void of frills, his subject, "Force," was a pleasing address. Mrs. Viola Pleasant Rudd, of Tacoma, the noted elocutionist, rendered two of her choice selections. Mrs. Lucy Clark and Miss Mabel G. Walker, Messrs. Will Turner and Hall, all of Tacoma, did themselves proud, and whatever may be said of the "Seattle spirit," the Afro-Americans of this city should congratulate the people of Tacoma for sending over such a delegation to this celebration, which without their services would have dangerously approached the "freez ```markdown ``` [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie, facing slightly to the right.

It is true that several Seattleites participated, but they were not at their best. Miss Clark could not be heard to an advantage. Mrs. Ben Williams was not in her usual pink of condition, although the acoustic properties of the hall no doubt affected her. Mr. I. F. Norris, the speaker of the day, had to content himself as well as the audience with less than the time it required to deal with his subject: "The Progress of the Race," hence he too was shown at a disadvantage. Statistics are as a rule dry as an ironing board, but they must be recited to give the Negro's actual progress, as shown by the census returns. In Mr. Norris' address he merely touched the reduction of illiteracy in the Negro. Along this line the Chicago Tribune of a recent date spoke as follows of the Negro's progress: "In 1890 the total number of Negroes over ten years of age was 5,328,000. The percentage of illiteracy was 57.1. In 1900 the total number of Negroes over ten years of age was 6,412,000. The percentage of illiteracy was 44.5. The most conservative person must admit that this showing, if it can be taken at its face value, verges on the remarkable. The Negroes are not neglecting all their opportunities. They are sending their children to school. If they continue to send them there with the same crescendo of enthusiasm as at present, the middle of the century will see the percentage of Negro illiteracy reduced to less than 10." The friends of Mr. Norris regret that he was compelled to speak against time. He is a master of the subject matter, and will be heard from in the near future. Dr. Henry T. Turner was in a reminiscent mood and told some "old stories" of Lincoln, which pleased the audience. Hon. George F. Cotterill disclaims any intent of entering a beauty contest with Hon. W. E. Humphrey, but he displayed a familiarity with the history of the Negro race that surprised a number of people in the audience. His reference to Douglas as the "Grand Old Patriot," brought forth tumultuous applause. His alluding to Thomas Jefferson and his fight for an anti-slavery clause in the constitution was freely commented upon by many. Also his reference to meeting [Image of a man with a mustache and a bow tie, wearing a suit and a hat.] the recent celebration a man of let- ho hopes to represent the "difficult s of which Cushman speaks. sion, the audience applauded the speaker to the echo. Mr. Cotterill made a deep and lasting impression on the assemblage and the committee is to be congratulated on securing his presence. Hon. W. E. Humphrey followed Mr. Cotterill in one of his characteristic speeches, noted for its directness and the black king of Sweden on his recent visit to Europe was loudly applauded and when he drew a mental picture of Fred Douglas at the reception of Princess Enalalia at the World's Fair in 1893, and repeated a portion of Mr. Douglas' speech on that occasion. One portion of Mr. Humphrey's talk was that he was there to encourage and not to advise. While Mr. Humphrey spoke of the disfranchisement of the Negro, he also said the Republican party was not with out fault, which was a frank, honest statement and was well received by the audience. At the close of the speech of Mr. Humphrey the exercises were declared at an end, thus was seen the end of a day that was not altogether without a lesson. True that a pessimistic Negro could glean but little from what he had heard, but this is a day for the optimistic to "work over time." The story of the wrongs done the Negro as a people are pathetically told in a few lines by Ella Wheeler Wilcox in the Chicago American: Red with anguish his way has been. This suffering brother of dusky skin For centuries fettered and bound to earth. Slow this unfolding to freedom's birth— Slow his rising from burden and ban To fill the stature of mortal man. You must give him wings or you will You must give him wings ere you tell him to fly— You must set the example and bid him try. Let the white man pay for the white man's crime— Let him work in patience and bide God's time. Out of the wilderness, out of the night. Has the black man crawled to the dawn of light; He has come through the valley of great despair— He has borne what no white man can bear— He has come through sorrow and pain and woe, And the cry of his heart is to know to know! POLITICAL POT PIE (Continued taom First Page.) has been under the ban of organized labor for a good many months and the feeling against it is just as intense now as it has been in the past, and it is not reasonable to suppose that the labor people will vote for the son of a man who, in their opinion, has tried to injure them and their cause at every turn of the road. It can be safely said, therefore, that G. W. Jeffries will beat Clarence Blethen at the polls next November by a vote of not less than two to one. The Pie-maker does not surmise that Governor John H. McGraw or his immeatee friends will make a very hard fight against George Piper at the polls next November. While Mr. Piper may be vary objectionable to the governor and his friends, nevertheless, he is a Republican and will vote for a Republican United States senator and that Judge Moore will not do so as long as there is a ghost of a show for him to vote for and elect a Democrat. Judge Moore says he will vote for Harold Preston, if there is no show for George Turner or some other Democrat to be elected to the United States senate. It might so happen that Judge Moore's vote would elect a United States senator and being a Democrat he would be instrumental in electing a Democrat instead of a Republican United States senator and the leading Republicans of that senatorial district would thereby be responsible for the election of a Democratic United States senator from this state, and the Piemaker does not believe that they want such an odium as that resting on their political shoulders, Mr. Piper's alleged unsavory political reputation to the contrary notwithstanding. If reports be true, Joseph Conway, the Democratic senatorial nominee from the 33rd senatorial district is spending a mint of money, more or less, with the view of carrying it against Senator Hemrich. Mr. Conway seems to reason that the vote of that specific district is simply a purchaseable commodity and that he can be elected to the state senate notwithstanding the fact that it is a Republican district, if he can only dig up money enough to pay the price. The Pie-maker does not think such to be true. He does not think a majority of the voters in that district can be purchased or brow-beat into voting for a Democrat, even with the assistance of large sums of money. It does not seem reasonable, and therefore he predicts at this writing that Senator Hemrich is going to skin Mr. Conway by at least two hundred majority at the polls in November, for no other reason than because Mr. Conway is putting out the impression that the people of that district are waiting for their price before they go to the polls to vote and when they get the price they will vote for the man who pays them the biggest price. PERSONAL. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, of Kansas City, Mo., have been visiting in the city for the past week, the guests of Mrs. Cayton. Mr. Edwards is one of Kansas City's heaviest Afro-American property owners, and one of her foremost business men. Mrs. Edwards is the daughter of a Kansas City pleneer, Mr. Sam Jordan, who at the time of his death was rated as being worth in the neighborhood of $100,000. They leave for home Saturday afternoon, after having spent some two months on the Pacific Coast, mostly in California, and a most pleasant week of sightseeing about Seattle, taking in Victoria, B. C., during their stay. Mrs. Lucy Clark and her daughter, Miss Mabel Walker, were among the many visitors to the city this week. Mrs. W. T. Rudd, one of Tacoma's most talented elocationists, visited the city last Monday and recited at the celebration exercises that evening. Mr. Will Turner, who has held the position of deputy county assessor in Pierce county for the past ten years, was among the visitors to Seattle last Monday. Attorney Aldridge, one of Tacoma's leading Afro-American lawyers, did business in Seattle last Monday, as did Mr. Lawrence Sledge. Mr. John T. Gayton, steward of the Rainier Club, contemplates building on his lots within the next few weeks, hoping thereby to get under his own vine and fig tree before the winter fairly sets in. The members of the A. M. E. church are giving the building a complete overhauling and renovating and they hope to soon have both the church and the parsonage in a presentable condition. By inquiring at this office you can learn of a nice four-room cottage at Green Lake cheap for cash. The building is new and the lot is 90 by 120 feet, all of which will be sold for a reasonable sum of money and on which you can borrow almost the full amount that is asked for it. Miss Nellie Butler, a graduated professional nurse from a Chicago training school, who is a sister to our local township, R. W.

AMUSEMENTS The Neill Company, which will be seen at the Grand next Wednesday evening in an elaborate production of "The Starbucks," pays more money in royalties to our leading dramatic authors than any other dramatic organization in America. There are numerous plays in this magnificent company's repertoire for which a sum as high as $500 per week is demanded by the authors of them. In addition to this sum these authors being naturally jealous for the good reputation of their plays demand in their contracts when given by the Neill company their dramas must be presented with entire specially designed scenery and properties of such elaborateness and appropriateness as receives their approval. The Neill Company has invested in such effects for the thirty odd high class comedies and dramas in its repertoire very large sums. The Neilis will also present "A Bachelor's Romance," "The Red Knight" and "Under the Red Robe." "THE STROLLERS." The merry "Strollers" will be on view in this city on Sunday next at the Grand, and the aforesaid "Strollers" will be impersonated by Marguerite Sila, George C. Bonifice, assisted by a company of seventy-five people, amongst the number some well known singers and comedians. The strong and prettily costumed chorus, young, pretty and shapely girls and beautiful scenic setting and many brilliant light effects. The presentation will be one of the great events of the season in this city. There is nothing at present booked that will touch it in magnitude or effective entertaining power. The great comedy drama, "Lost in New York," one of the biggest scenic productions of the decade, will appear at the Seattle Theatre four nights next week, beginning with Sunday evening. For the interpretation of the play the management offers a company of higher order of excellence than is usually identified with this form of attraction. Some of the best known in the clever cast are Miss Nettie De Coursey, an extremely comely, bright and vivacious little lady who has made millions laugh at her facetious savings, while playing the THE BON MARCHE THE BON MARCHE THE BON MARCHE APPEAR A MONTH FROM TODAY White Wool Blankets, 10-4 size, worth $3.00; a pair .....$2.69 Scarlet Wool Blankets, best dye, worth $3.50; a pair .....$2.98 strictly All Wool White Blankets 11-14 size, worth $5.50; a pair. $4.35 All-Silk Tapestry, 50 inches wide, in prettiest of patterns, novel color effects, value $3.50, at .....$2.65 Bed Sets.

ELEGANT DRESS FABRICS HONORED leading roles in the Hoyt fares; Miss Florence Leonard, well remembered because of her beautiful appearance, striking gowns and clever work in "All the Comforts of Home;" "Jack Kenyon," Alexander Leonard and others. The scenic display includes the great East River, historical Battery Park, Backwell's Island, with its desolate prison and insane asylum with their inmates and attaches, a practical steam launch, row boats, and electrical fountain with real running wa A star in three years is the result of the choice of Miss Elsa Ryan by that wonderful judge of talent and temperament, the late Augustin Daly. She justified his belief in her by an immediate success in the part of Alice in the original production of "The Runaway Girl" at Daly's Theatre, New York, and she continued in her charming portrayal of that role during the entire run of the play at that theatre which lasted one year. At the death of the great manager, Miss Ryan was engaged by Mr. Jacob Litt as an ideal Madge for his beautiful play of blue grass life, "In Old Ken tucky," and in that character en deared herself to the large audiences that mightly greeted her throughout the country. As the youngest star in the theatrical firmament, with no fail ures to look back upon, Miss Ryan has added another triumph to her short but successful career, in the new play by Mr. Fred Darcy, entitled "Nevada," a story of a Western mining camp and its attendant excitements, which comes to the Third Avenue Theatre next week.
