The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society POLITICAL POT - PIE VOL. IX. NO. 22 In closing the campaign The Seattle Republican is loth to do so without at least saying a few parting words in behalf of the re-election of Mr. Hemrich from the 33d senatorial district. Four years ago, when Mr. Hemrich was first elected, he was then an untried and inexperienced man, but now he has four years' legislative experience to which he can point with pride as an evidence that he is eminently fitted for the position which he seeks. He made an excellent record while state senator, and returned to his constituents without any fear of being censured for anything which he had done in his official capacity. Senator Hemrich's opponent is falsely reporting that he worked against all SENATOR ANDREW HEMRICH. of the labor measures that were introduced in the two sessions of the legislature of which he was a member, but neither the facts nor the figures substantiate Mr. Conway's allegations along this line. Senator Hemrich is now and has been for a number of years employing in the neighborhood of 500 laborers, all of whom belong to labor organizations, and with whom he has had no difficulty whatever. No strikes or misunderstandings between employer and employee have ever been reported from the concern of which Mr. Hemrich is president. The laboring men of Mr. Hemrich's district will vote for him as freely as they will for Mr. Conway, if not more so, because of the fact that he gives them employment, and that is more than his opponent can say. The Seattle Republican advises its readers in that district to give him their votes and if so he will be elected, and overwhelmingly. . . . The rally of the season will be held at the Armory hall tomorrow (Saturday) evening, and Chairman Morrison of the Republican state central committee hopes that a large attendance will be present to hear Congressman Cushman and Governor McBride, who will address the voters of King county on that occasion. Mr. Cushman is undoubtedly one of the best campaign speakers on the Pacific coast at present and will do his audience justice on that occasion. Persons who were fortunate enough to hear Mr. Cushman speak at the last Republican state convention will agree with the above statement. If, therefore, you wish to hear a splendid speech and perhaps the best of the entire campaign, you are invited to be present at the Armory next Saturday evening. ... Speaking about Mr. Cushman being in Seattle next Saturday reminds the Pie-maker that there has been some silly talk going about the state to the effect that the Republicans of King county were going to cut Cushman and vote for Cotterill on the grounds that Cushman was an enemy to Seattle. That such is political rot and claptrap, eminating only in the office of the Seattle Daily Times, is a foregone conclusion. Mr. Cushman will not run one hundred votes behind Mr. Humphrey in King county, and that is saying a good deal, because Mr. Humphrey is quite popular at his home. The Republicans are going to vote a straight ticket so far as the state is concerned, and the business men of Seattle are not going to deliberately give Mr. Cushman a club with which to hammer them over the head. They wanted a representative in congress and the state convention gave them that, and they are not going to be foolish enough to demand three places in congress instead of one. Mr. Humphrey will be elected to congress next Tuesday. If the Republicans should likewise vote for Mr. Cotterill and elect him they would then have two congressmen, and what in heaven's name would be the chances of Harold Preston being elected to the United States senate under such conditions? If the Republicans of King county knife Frank Cushman next Tuesday they will hear from that day's work again when Harold Preston comes before the legislature for the United States senorship next January. . . . Hon. Will E. Humphrey, the Republican candidate for congress, will close the campaign in this county next Monday evening at the Armory hall, and it is the duty of the King county voters to give him the grandest reception that he has received at any other place in the state. A phophet may be without honor in his own country, but the Pie-maker is to predict that Will Humphrey is going to be honored next Monday evening in his own county and by his own people. If there is anything that King county can boast of it is her loyalty to her own representative men. It, therefore, beooves every voter to turn out next Monday and fill Armory hall to its utmost that the balance of the state may read in the P-I. the next morning of the grand reception that was tendered to King county's candidate for congress by the voters thereof. Mr. Humphrey has made a splendid campaign; he has attracted attention and favorable comment at every point where he has spoken and this should be an incentive for the people of King county to turn out in great numbers to hear him close the campaign. . . . George B. Lamping has not himself proven to be a trustworthy and capable official He has been a burden to the taxpayers. He has not attended to the duties incumbent upon him as county auditor. It, therefore, is the duty of the voters to see to it that he is not again elected. . . . In closing this campaign the Piemaker wishes to say one word in favor of Chairman Knickerbocker, who has worked faithfully and hard for the success of the Republican ticket. Mr. Knickerbocker has had difficulties to confront that few other persons occupying the same position in the past had to meet, but he has acted nobly and conducted the campaign in a most diplomatic manner. He has not been selfish, but has worked for the interests of every nominee on the ticket. Other chairmen have done as much, but Mr. Knickerbocker has had some trying things to meet in the campaign now closing. His associates declare that he has been as fair and square in the conducting of the campaign as any man with whom they have ever had political dealings, and it is to be regrretted that he had to be thrown up against such difficulties as he has been. . . . Again the Pie-m aker wishes to call your attention to the fact that you must vote for three members of congress instead of two, as in the past. The candidates on the Republican ticket are Wesley L. Jones, Francis W. Cushman and Will E. Humphrey. Just who are the candidates on the Democratic ticket the Pie-maker is not prepared to say, inasmuch as there have been so many changes along that line since the Democratic state convention adjourned. They, however, will not get a corporal's guard of votes and of course will not give the Republican candidates any serious concern. The Pie-maker predicts at this time that the state will go Republican to the tune of at least 15,000 majority next election and there is not going to be more than 500 votes difference between any of the candidates. . . . A DEMOCRATIC SOLILOQUY. (George O. Emery in Everett Herald.) Too many teams in the busy street; Too much haste in the folks one meets; Too many orders crowding the mails; Too many fellows with full dinner pails; Too many jobs that can't find a doer; Too many happy and too few poor; Too many railroads; too much freight; Too many travelers in every state; Too many spindles making stuff that sells; Too many factories and whistles and bells; Too many dollars, all good as gold; Too many sheep in the farmer's fold; Too many cattle; too much wheat; Too much to wear, and too much to eat; Too many children crowding the schools; Too many wise men, too few fools; Too much cash in the nation's box; Too many cargoes waiting on the docks; Too many busy, prosperous men; Too many silver-crats—flopped again; Too many people in country and town Who won't stand by while the flag's pulled down; Too much Turner, Tillman and Hill; Too much Cleveland and Wilson bill; Too few fellows with threadbare coats; Too many solid Republican votes; Too many savings banks, too few "busts"; Too much Roosevelt after the trusts; Too much Bryan talking through his hat; Too little chance for a "real" Democrat. Lest ye forget how to mark your ballot next Tuesday so as to accomplish the purpose that you intend it to do, the Republican and the Democratic tickets are placed before you and marked in two different ways, so that you will make no error in marking your ballot in your booths next Tuesday. If you wish to vote the Republican ticket and yet scratch one or two names on the ticket, as you likely will do, because you certainly have made up your mind to vote against George B. Lamping, and in making up your mind to vote against him you have likewise made up your mind to vote for Harry B. Dreese, for to vote for Dresse means two votes against Lamping, and will thereby come the nearer defeating him than by not voting for anyone for county auditor, then vote as the ticket below indicates: If you wish to vote for various persons on both the Republican and Democratic tickets, then it is best for you to look over the two tickets and place a cross (X) after every man that you wish to vote for.

Notwithstanding the fact that The Seattle Republican has stood ready at any time to open its columns to George B. Lamping to deny the charges made against him as to his remarks about the Negroes, he has neither taken advantage of these columns or availed himself of an opportunity to deny them in the columns of any other paper, and he, therefore, has practically pled guilty to the charges. The Republicans of this county cannot afford to elect such a man to office. It simply won't do. If they do the very old Nick will be to pay in the future. The Pte-maker, therefore, advises each and every good and honest Republican whether he be white or black, to vote against Lamping and right the wrong which he has committed. --- Walla Walla County Republican Ticket Believing The Seattle Republican had a sufficient number of readers in Walla Walla county to warrant the publication of the regular Republican ticket in its columns the chairman of the Republican county central committee has authorized the same. The voters are earnestly solicited to not leave a stone unturned to strengthen the legislative ticket at every point, as the election of the legislative candidates will go a long ways toward getting Walla Walla a United States senator. The whole ticket is highly commendable for your suffrage, and it is hoped it will get your votes. For U. S. Senator, Hon. Levi Ankeny. Legislative Ticket. Twelfth district, John B. Wilson.

It urges the voters of Walla Walla county to support these men, not alone because they are Republicans, but because they are good men and will make good public servants. First on the list comes the name of J. Z. Smith. As a buyer of grain Mr. Smith has the highest recommendations from his employers. He has a good, clean record. As a public officer Mr. Smith has shown his ability in the city council. He is not afraid of his record, and he always has been a hard party worker. Charles S. Painter is the candidate for sheriff. He has been Sheriff Keest deputy for over two years, and has proven himself thoroughly competent, honest and fully conversant with the affairs of the office. No man in Walla Walla county is better qualified to be the next sheriff. O. A. Breeze, the candidate for clerk is a resident of Waitsburg, and has the hearty indorsement of his people at home. Lester S. Wilson, who was nominated as county attorney, is one of the best known lawyers of the Inland Empire. He has lived in Walla Walla for a number of years, and enjoys a splendid reputation both as a lawyer and as a man. He has been nominated because of his worth and as such will be electeed. Lew Loehr, the candidate for surveyor, is a man well versed in his profession of civil engineer. He is thoroughly acquainted with the requirements of the office. R. J. Berryman has been a farmer in Walla Walla county for a number of years, but because of his recognized worth, honesty and ability he has been named for assessor. Everybody in Walla Walla county knows Mr. Berryman and his record as a citizen and a man, and he will be given the votes. J. Elmer Myers, the efficient and hard-working superintendent of schools, is a candidate for re-election. He has done splendid work in the schools of the county, and he will continue for another term. W. B. Hawley, the county treasurer, will be elected again. He has made such a good officer that the people will vote for him without the need of much campaigning. W. D. Smith, who was named for coroner, is a well known undertaker of Walla Walla. He will be able to fill to entire satisfaction the office of coroner. J. J. Huffman, of the law firm of Thomas & Huffman, is the party candidate for justice of the peace. He was named in the convention and will be elected. He has hundreds of warm friends in the county, who know his fairness and ability and who will support him. Levi Malone, who has been Sheriff Kees' jailer, was named for constable. He has lived here a long time, and everone knows him to be a good man and worthy of the office for which he was nominated. Frank Smith and John N. McCaw have been selected as the party candidates for county commissioners. Both know well the needs and business of the county and both will certainly be elected. A. F. KEES. A. Frank Kees, candidate for the legislature from Walla Walla county, Thirteenth district, is a native of Walla Walla county, having been born near Dixie, November 13, 1867. He was reared on a farm and educated in the schools of Dry Creek and Walla Walla. Until 1898 he resided on a farm, and left the old home only to take up the work as sheriff of his home county. In 1891 he married Miss Susan M. Stetson, and one child, a girl has come to the home. Mr. Kees' parents came west in 1859, located in the Willamette valley. They removed to this county the following year, and have resided here continuously. Mr. Kees was chosen sheriff in November, 1898, and was re-elected by a large increased majority in 1900. He was recently chosen chairman of the Republican central committee, and is a leader in many public matters. Mr. Kees is at the head of the Republican county organization and is conducting the campaign personally in Walla Walla county. E. M. DENTON E. M. Denton, candidate from the thirteenth district, Walla Walla county, was born in Elmira, N. Y., and soon removed to Kansas with his parents. He family settled at Council Grove and resided there for several years. Mr. Denton's early educational advantages were very poor, and he went to school in the country until he was thirteen years of age, when he was compelled to discontinue his studies and go to work. On March 14, 1863, he enlisted in Company G, Ninth Kansas volunteer cavalry, being discharged two years later. Then for three years he drove a team on the Santa trai train from Fort Leavenworth and Kansas City to Fort Union and Denver. In 1878 he crossed the plains with a team, settling at Cover, Union county, Oregon. After spending some time in Oregon he removed to Wood River, Idaho, thence to Weston, Ore, and finally, in 1894, at Waitsburg, Wash, where he has since resided. He is engaged in the grain business. Mr. Denton has been quite popular in secret society circles, being a very active member of the Grand Army, Woodmen of the World and Odd Fellows. JOHN B. WILSON. John B. Wilson, by profession a civil engineer, is candidate for representative in the Twelfth district, Walla Walla county. He was born in Mills county, Iowa, October 4, 1855. In 1868 he came with his family to Walla Walla county and has resided continuously in the wheat belt ever since that time. After coming to Washington and finishing an early education he taught school and studied civil engineering, finally graduating in that branch. He married Miss Huldah Reed and has two daughters. For five years he was city engineer of Walla Walla, and has been elected county surveyor and assessor at different times. For four years he was employed as surveyor and engineer of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, and at times did considerable government surveying. Mr Wilson has been active in Republican politics for many years, and served a term as chairman of the Republican central committee, discontinuing the work when he recently purchased a house-furnishing establishment in Walla Walla, which he is now managing successfully. . . . WALLA WALLA POLITICS AND PERSONALS The political pot at this time is boiling at whie heat in this county. To defeat Hon. Levi Ankeny for the senate is the hope of a few disgruntled Republicans, aided, of course, by the regular organized Democratic party. With this in view the governor was invited to speak without the knowledge of the regular organized campaign committee. There is no doubt that the Democrats were fully advised as to the importance of the meeting and were out in force. The trick was really so raw that what effect the speech might have had was offset after the real motive was analyzed. When Hon. Gilbert Hunt said on introducing the governor that he (the governor) would urge the election of the entire ticket sickly played over the face of McBride. That there was a well defined significance in that facial expression subsequent events proved. The meeting was held in the opera house at about 2.30 p. m. The governor arrived, accompanied by his man Waburton. Two prosecenium boxes were reserved for Senator Turner, Judge Sharpstein, Warden Carton, Deep Creek Jones, William Dunphy and several lesser lights in the Democratic party in Walla Walla county, and they seemed perfectly at home, applauding at intervals or whenever it appeared the governor was in need of encouragement. In the evening Senator Turner spoke from the same stage and had as part of his audience the governor, Stanton Waburton, Oscar Cain and a few other insurgents of this county. This is what can be called reciprocity. It is more than passing strange that Governor McBride did not at any time urge the election of the legislative ticket, or did he APN 28 1952 say a word for the county ticket and a Republican meeting, too, or supposed to be. It was purported to be called under the auspices of the Young Men's Republican Club. Why is the governor so solicitous about Walla Walla county? King county did not declare for the commission bill, nor did Snohomish. Messrs. Wilson, Denton and Kees, Republican legislative nominees, will no doubt prove themselves worthy of every confidence reposed in them. They are too well known to be injured by imputation, or do they need any eulogising. Senator Cornwall voted against the last commission bill and up to this time has survived the action taken by him any many other gentlemen, nor has the senator's social or commercial standing been impaired by reason of that act. True, the senator or any of his colleagues from this county will not vote for the Hon. Harold Preston. It is also true they would refuse to vote for the governor for the same position of events or his ambition forced him into the senatorial fight. Is the selection of either of the gentlemen necessary to the perpetuity of Republican party or its principles? The majority of the citizens of this county realize that they now have an opportunity to secure a United State senator and they are leaving no stone unturned to accomplish it, either. Favorable reports are being received from other parts of the state relative to Mr. Ankeny's candidacy and this spurs them on to greater effort. It will interest the citizens of Spokane to know that there are several well known Spokaneites here, among whom are Weber, the harnessmaker; Ellsworth, the druggist; Johnnie Gibbons, better known as "Handsome Johnnie;" also J. W. Cookery, formerly with Smith & Co., the well known undertakers of that city. Mr. Cookery came to Walla Walla about seven years ago, engaging in the undertaking business, and now has the larger part of the trade. He has also been nominated for cononer and his affable manner and extensive acquaintance over the county makes his election one of the things likely to be consummated on next Tuesday. J. H. RYAN. An exchange is of the opinion that George Lamping possesses many of those American traits which predominate in President Roosevelt's general make-up. Well, if he does, it must be only those eating traits which the president is so much given to. When the name of Will Ingliss was sprung on the late Republican county convention in opposition to that of C. A. Koepfl, who was aspiring for a second nomination, as were others in that convention, and who had made a most efficient official, it was done supposedly at the instigation of George B. Lamping, who himself had just been unanimously nominated for his second term, but who desired to see Mr. Koepfl defeated and one of his clerks nominated in lieu thereof. There is no doubt in the minds of all Republicans in this county but that the scheme to nominate Will Ingliss at the expense of Mr. Koepfl was well understood by George B. Lamping, George U. Piper and others of that ilk of politicians. The scheme, however, did not work and Mr. Koepfl was nominated in spite of them, but the friends of Mr. Koepfl have not forgotten that proposition and the Piemaker would not be surprised if George B. Lamping did not lose four or five votes on that account, and per haps that four of five votes might be multiplied into four or five hundred. Mr. Koepfl had made a splendid official and the Republicans saw no reason why he should not get a second nomination, if others, and among them George B. Lamping, got a second nomination. This is the kind of a man that is now seeking a re-election at the hands of the Republican party, a man who will sacrifice everything and everybody for his own selfish interests. Unless the Ple-maker is sadly mistaken there is an air of overconfidence amon gthe Republicans in this county, which may cost them a great many votes. The assumption that the Republican ticket is going to win hands down may prove true, but occasionally such an assumption gets badly slipped up upon and the opposition elects their ticket instead of your ticket winning. Republicans by the wholesale are contemplating not going to the polls, believing that the county is so overwhelmingly Republican that their votes will not be necessary in the coming contest. This spirit of apathy was seen in the registration, as hundreds of Republican voters failed to register in due season in order to assure them a vote next November. In times of peace it is well to prepare for war, and unless the Republics begin at once to prepare for war they will find that next November they will be weighed in a balance and found wanting. The senatorial ticket in this county is to be especially attacked all down the line and it behooves the Republics to keep a sharp lookout for such a flank movement. PRICE FIVE CENTS *** . . .

Surgery's success is always the other fellow's sorrow. Tom L. Johnson may be presidential timber, but it seem to be of a rather knotty nature. It always happens that when a Negro is to be lynched the state troops always get there too late. Montana seems to possess the biggest mess of poisoned political pups that ever set up a howl. We are inclined to accept Brigg's explanation of the letter he left telling why he committed suicide. President Roosevelt is going to visit in the South. We suggest a nigger roast for his entertainment while there. After next Tuesday all the political misunderstandings in this state will be confined wholly to the senatorial situation. A mutual improvement society among Indians doubtless means an improvement of the quality of the war paint they use. "Irish disorderly" is a brief dispatch from London. Why send out such useless dispatches as that? Have they ever been otherwise? Evidently Denmark is averse to the selling of her niggers to the United States lynchers and human stake-burners. Thanks awfully! Editor Kelley, the Montana editor who got handy with his gun, will find himself short on matter if the state substantiates its charge. Falling dead at a blackjack table is a very poor passport for one to start on as long and lonesome a journey as must be the death travel. Congressman Cushman will get a reception in Seattle next Saturday evening that will do his heart good, and that's right and proper. Seattle does not seem to be the only city where police grafting is common, as Chicago just now is having a high old time with her police grafters. We wonder if that "pretty 18-year-old girl" in Crawfordsville, Indiana, horsewhipped the postmaster because she did not get the letter that "never came." Even the stuffed prophet of presidential vetoring fame has been moved to make a speech for Democracy in the hope of preventing the old hulk from being totally wrecked. --- J. Pierpont Morgan may care nothing for money, as it is alleged of him, but we are of the opinion that it is only spurious money that he has such a distanste for. We trust Republicans will fill the Armory hall full and overflowing both Saturday and Monday evenings, and they will, for they are too patriotic to do otherwise. Building in Seattle may be according to how the drop hangs, but even the threatening attitude of the hanging drop is showing no depressing effects on building in this city this fall. When you can't do anything else to appease your wrath always go out and kick a nigger and then you'll feel better, that is if there is not a Chinaman in sight, in which case kick both. Mark Hanna has always been the laboring man's friend, but despicable labor leaders, for selfish aims and purposes, have always prevented laboring men from seeing him as he really is. Colonial Secretary Chamberlain wants to see for himself and therefore he is booked for a visit to South Africa. He will doubtless find it dark enough, even when the light is turned on. No one has ever charged Frank Griffith as being from Missouri, but he is saying to McGrew & McBride that "they will have a show him," or there is going to be trouble in the courts. "Let's have common sense," is an editorial headline in an Eastern exchange. Well, we always thought you fellows back East did have common sense until you yourselves informed us to the contrary. Always put the Democratic party down as doing the wrong thing at the right time and the right thing at the wrong time. The Democrats of Whatcom have nominated a woman for county superintendent. This state, according to a recent educational report, has lots of little children "learning to shoot." Evidently there are no Afro-Americans among them, as no mention was made of any of them learning to cut. --- If it be true that Belgium has coal deposits worth $42,500,000,000, the coal barons of this country had better look well to their laurels lest the strikers be imported to Belgium and America be flooded with cheap coal. Notwithstanding the fact that President Roosevelt is a great stickler for civil service regulations, he has recently had his leg pulled pretty badly, only his leg was pulled by a physician instead of a political grafter. If only the Boers could have gotten hold of Mad Mullah how different might have been the results of their mad war. "Of all sad words of tongue or pen," the saddest are these: What Mad Mullah might have done. "Bigger profits for the Standard Oil monopoly" is a headline. It seems almost incredible to believe that the profits of any concern to be any larger than have been those of the Standard Oil Company for the past few years. We are of the opinion that Kipling's expression, "Lest we forget," has reached the stage of the ridiculous when it is used by sets for reminding themselves that they had not been drunk for the past twenty-four hours. Senator Billy Mason of Illinois has finally come out against the Republican party. It was apparent from the very beginning of his career that he would sooner or later wind up in the Demo-Pop party, and now that he has gone over to them bag and baggage, "God be with him till we meet again!" Squabbling over Charles Stuart Parnell's fame goes merrily on among the Irish people. If there be another nationality on God's green earth that can boast of as much racial jealousy among themselves as the Irish it must be that nationality that is said to be "only an Irishman turned wrong side out." Instead of the P-I.'s attack on George F. Cotterill, Democratic candidate for congress, on account of his belief in the theoristic vagaries of Henry George, showing a weakness, as says a Democratic paper, the weakness is shown on the part of Mr. Cotterill for entertaining any such foolish forgeries. If Miss Eleanor Wilson reciprocates the armoral advances of the crown prince of Siam, as it is believed that she will, then even a Sambo, just so he is a prince of some two-by-four island and not a Sambo from South Carolina or some other Southern state, is a jewel in the eyes of Uncle Sam's fair Desdemonias. If such men as Governor McGraw, Captain Ballard and other leading Republicans of the Fourth ward, can consistently fight an objectionable nominee on the Republican ticket and yet not injure their party standing, why in heaven's name cannot the colored voters cut a nominee on the Republican ticket who is an avowed enemy to their race? It is utterly impossible to run a newspaper unless those to whom it is sent pay for the same. If, therefore, you are indebted to The Seattle Republican it will be deemed a favor if you will come up to the office and pay the same. If you have a friend visiting you from out of the city or if you know anything happening in the city of general interest, The Republican will be glad to publish the same if you will make it known to the office.

Though highly respected, columns of newspaper matter is being published in protest to his appointment all because Dr. Crum is tinged with Afro-American blood. It remains to be seen whether President Roosevelt will override Southern sentiment and appoint an Afro-American to an important position in the South or not. --- Charles W. Scrutchin, who is well-known in the state of Washington, has just scored a signal victory in Bemidji, Minn., he having acquitted a man charged with murder in the first degree, though the state was represented by the attorney general and the county prosecuting attorney. Mr. Scrutchin has made wonderful strides since he left the state of Washington and those of us who remember him while here are much pleased with the success he has made in his new home. . . . In spite of the opposition of Senator Pritchard of North Carolina, the Republicans of the Second Congressional district of that state have nominated Mr. Samuel Vik, a well known Afro-American, for Congress. Somehow or other those things, such as Senator Pritchard represents in the political world, will not down and men of integrity and ability will get nominations, whether they be white or black B. A. Tillinghast, who so ably discussed the Negroes in Africa and America in a recent issue of the American Economist, made uses of the same kind of gush as so many men of his calibre have done in the past. There is no denying the fact that the Negro problem, if such it may be termed, in this country is far from being settled, and there is no denying the fact that, if the Negro problem is ever settled in this country, it will have to be done by the Caucasians. It is, however, absurd, ridiculous and preposterous on the part of Mr. Tillinghast to state that the Negro is in a worse condition, educationally, financially and morally at the present time than he was as a slave. That the Negro, generally speaking, is more immoral than his white brother goes without saying; but that he is making rapid strides along that line likewise goes without saying. That he has accumulated property and that he is learning to not only govern but to be governed without the fear of chastisement and punishment, likewise goes without saying. That he has improved educationally and religiously is conclusively shown from the late census reports as compared to other censuses that have been taken since he has been freed. The Negro before he was emancipated but he has accumulated money and property valued in the billions of dollars. Though as ignorant as a savage when emancipated, he has so improved himself educationally that 49 per cent of them can now read and write. The strides that the Negro has made since he has been emancipated and given his right of citizenship are miraculous, all of which show that he is capable and qualified to assume the full citizenship rights, if only his white brother would permit his to do so. No one knows better than the Negro himself that he is a social outcast in the United States and that of course has much to do with retarding his progress. The Negro is not clamoring for social equality with the white because such is objectionable to the rank and file of the whites and it is likewise objectionable to the Negroes; but when the Caucasians of this country place the Negroes on the same plane and footing as they do other weaker races among them, then much of the race problem that is so much talked about will be settled. "Colored" Boarding House. So much dissatisfaction has arisen between the white and colored students in Ann Arbor, Michigan, as to the latter messing in the eating departments that Mrs. Porter-Cole, formerly a Fiske jubilee singer, has been given the privilege by the school authorities to open up a boarding and club house for colored students in close proximity to the university. Whether or not the boarding house will find sufficient patronage to warrant it to continue in business remains to be seen, for certainly there are not a sufficient number of colored students attending the school who will board at the club house to keep it going, and for students to room and board with all kinds and classes of transient roomers and boarders it seems to one having had experience along this line that it would exercise a dangerous influence over them. Mrs. Cole says she finds considerable prejudice against the colored students in the school, and this has prompted her to open such a house. She is not inclined, however, to draw any color line herself, and yet, using her own words, "I want the colored students to feel just as comfortable in these quarters as do the white students in those quarters they seek. I shall take only boys for roomers, but will draw no color line." The Republican believes that Mrs. Cole is all right in this, and if she will only stick to her text and accommodate all classes, one and alike, and yet no one class on account of his color, nationality or condition, receive prerogatives over another, if seems that her venture will be a success from the very start. If she, however, proves to be as good a lanlady as many of the colored boarding house-keepers have proven themselves to be, it is barely possible that her house will be over-run at once with white students and the colored students be left in as bad condition as were they be ore such a home was thrown open to them. . . . Rev. A. J. Carey, who is pastor of Quinn Chapel, in Chicago, one of the largest churches in the United States, owned by colored folks, has taken the initiative in discarding the old custom so common among colored congregations of trotting to the table to contribute money to the church, and has adopted the passing of the basket around in order to raise his collections and thus far it has worked most admirably. This might be well followed out by other colored divines and discontinue the old foggy habit of promenading to the table and having a gay old time at the conclusion of the services in order to raise a few dollars. He or she who intends to give money to the church will do so just as quickly by passing the basket to them as by having them prance up to a table to show themselves and whatever spurious finery they may happen to have on. --- An exchange gives these figures touching the material standing of the Negroes in Georgia: The consolidated returns show that there are 6 Negro lawyers, 54 Negro doctors and 7 Negro dentists in the state. The number of Negroes who have made returns for poll tax is 117,374. The number of acres of land owned by Negroes is 1,752,291. The value of this land is returned at $14,779,263. The value of the jewelry owned by the Negroes is $26,363. The total value of all the property is $15,188,069. The value of the property last year amounted to $15,629,811. It is stated that the Negroes in Georgia own more property than the Negroes in any other state. W. T. Scott, who is a candidate for prosecuting attorney on the Republican can ticket, has always been a true and consistent friend to the black men of this community and if elected he will prove himself to be even a better friend to them than he has in the past, owing to the fact that he will have greater opportunities. It is a good rule to always stick to the man that sticks to you, and if you do that you are going to vote for W. T. Scott next Tuesday. No one, whether he be black or white, has any cause or excuse for working against Mr. Scott, unless he be of different party than he, in which case nothing else could be expected. The Republican wishes to especially call the colored viter's attention to Mr. Scott, because he has been so very friendly to them in the past and will be in the future if elected. Lets show by our votes that we do appreciate those men that appreciate us by giving Mr. Scott a larger majority than any other candidate on the county ticket.

L. Walker leaves for South Carolina November 2nd, and will be gone until some time in December. Mrs. Lucy Clark, of Tacoma, was doing business in the Queen City last Wednesday, returning the same day. Mr. William Jackson has returned from an extended trip in the country, whither he went to purchase a num- of horses for himself and others. Mrs. W. T. Hamlin and Mrs. Graves, both of Tacoma, visited with friends in the city this week, and attended the reception at the A. M. E. church last Wednesday evening. Don't overlook the fact that the Bon Marche is giving employment to five colored persons in its establishment. Any firm in this or any other city that will do as much is deserving of your patronage. Instead of taking a legal college curriculum at the state university, Mr Hayden Richardson has decided to take a business course at the high school and has already begun his course of study. George B. Lamping has never in the past nor is he at present giving employment to a Negro in any shape form or capacity in his office and it is a flat foot lie on the part of any person to say that he is. A large and enthusiastic Fourth ward club among the Afro-Americans of that ward has been organized for the express purpose of working for the election of William Hickman Moore for state senator. Rev. N. D. Hartsfield, of New Castle, is a frequent visitor to the city during these piping political times. The reverend gentleman has been doing missionary work, so it is alleged, with my people at New Castle. An important letter is held in this office for John T. Moore. Persons knowing of his whereabouts will do him a favor by notifying him of the same. This is the young man commonly known as Johnny Moore, who once worked in this office. The only man of color nominated for any official position in King county is Mr. Dan Rogers, of New Castle, who has been nominated for constable for that district. Mr. Rogers has been in New Castle for the past fifteen years and is well and favorably known in the district. Rev. S. S. Freeman and wife gave a reception to the members of his church last Wednesday evening in the church parlors, which was very generally attended, and a most pleasant evening spent. Rev. Freeman is doing much to build up the work here, and already many good results can be seen. Dr. and Mrs. Sundy, of Topeka, Kansas, Mr. F. G. Forbush, of Toronto Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hooten, of New York City, were visitors in the city last Wednesday evening and were the guests of Mrs. M. B. Rideout. Dr. Sundy was very much pleased with Seattle and will probably make this his future home. They are making a tour of the West by way of the Canadian Pacific. Mr. J. W. Riggs, of Dawson City, who was formerly a well known citizen of this town, writes that he is doing well and is in a fair way to make a piece of money for himself before returning to the states. Mr. Riggs has two excellent barber shops, each of which is paying well. He also writes that Mr. and Mrs. Harris are running a laundry there and are doing well. A great many of the colored folk have already left Dawson City for the outside during the winter, as they did not care to be shut up another long winter season. At their residence Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Clark entertained a number of young friends on Friday evening, October 24th, the occasion being the eighteenth birthday of their daughter, Miss Alma. Ping pong and other games followed by music were the amusements of the evening, and later on refreshments were served by the hostess. Those present were: Miss Edna Jenning, Miss Georgia Selby, Miss Ida Hayes, Miss Maggie O'Brien, Miss Daisy O'Brien, Miss Mamie Brown, Miss Alma Clark, Mr. George Hayes, Mr. John Fort, Mr. Everett Jenning, Mr. Edward Hannahs, Mr. Thomas Holland, Mr. Hayden Richardson, Mr. Hugh Sanders, Mr. Stephen Glass, Mr. Reuben Miller, Mr. Alfred Purnell and Mr. Byron Clark. SPOKANE PERSONALS The social event of the week was the wedding reception for Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Hadley at their residence, 522 South Bernard street, Monday, October 20. The house was beautifully decorated with potted plants and autumn leaves. The door was attended by Mr. Merrill Washington and Mr. Robert Lusher. The guests were received and presented to the bride and groom by Miss Blanche Kaight. Miss Minnie Brown, Miss Isabelle Harris and Miss Candace Parker. The punch bowl was in charge of Mrs. Robert Lusher and Mrs. Reynolds Robinson. The lunch was in charge of Caterer F. L. Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Hadley were the recipients of beautiful gifts. Those invited were. Sergt. and Mrs. A. A. Houston, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lusher, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Parker, Mr. and Mrs. F. L. Wilson, Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

A. Houston returned to his troops at Fort Robinson, Neb., after a two months' tougher. Sergt. Houston is color sergeant of troop C. Tenth cavalry, which has just returned from service in Cuba. Sergt. Houston was in the battle of San Juan Hill and was severely wounded. His visit was very pleasant and he will always be gladly welcomed home. The Preseverance Club of the A. M. E. church gave a concert and supper at Oliver hall, Tuesday evening, October 22, the object being to raise money to continue the work on the new church which has been started. Mrs. Cyrus N. Clark arrived in the city Saturday from Nashville, Teun., where she has been visiting for the past six months. Mr. Clark has charge of the Country Club here and they will reside there. Miss S. P. Rhodes, the evangelist, is conducting meetings at the Calvary Baptist church. She is an excellent speaker. Rev. J. B. Beckham has returned from the convention at Dayton, Wash. Mr. S. H. Hadley returned to Stillwater, Minn., where he has business interests. Mr. John H. Ryan returned to Seatue Wednesday. You doubtless forgot to subscribe for The Seattle Republican. AMUSEMENTS A stage production which alternately thrills an audience and tugs at the heart-strings to such an extent that tears come into all eyes, involuntarily, only to be chased away the next instant by the liveliest kind of comedy situations is indeed a rarity. Such a play is "Yon Yonson," which is now in its tenth successive season in America and England and will be seen here at the Third Avenue Theatre next week, opening Sunday matinee. It is one of the few which deserves the appellation comedy drama with all that the hyphenated designation can imply. Manager P. J. Kennedy, who owns the American rights to "Yon Yonson," have this season excelled all previous efforts in the way of giving the play proper environment. A company of unusual excellence will support his new Swedish dialect star Nelse Erickson and the new scenery by D. Frank Dodge, the famous New York scenic artist, is exerting much praise and comment for its beauty and detail. HAVERLY'S MASTODON MIN- STRELS Haverly's Mastodon Minstrels will be the attraction at the Grand next Sunday, and America's premier comedian. "The famous George Wilson," has been re-engaged as the principle entertainer. He is the greatest black-faced monologist before the public, and is known all over the country, where he has been the favorite in his line. For many seasons, his droleries have made thousands laugh. His discourses are always up-to-date, and his witty remarks fairly bubble over with genuine fun. The Carl Dammon troupe of acrobats and gymnasts in their Pot-Pouri of wonderful feats of strength and daring, will no doubt create a sensation. Haverly's Mastodon Minstrels is under the directorship of Will Nankeville, who was for years the leading vocalist of the Haverly Mastodons, which in itself is evidence that the vocal corps of the present grand organization is of the best, and made ```markdown ``` A boy is sewing a coat while a girl is sitting in a barrel.

"A POOR RELATION." One of the most pleasantly remembered plays in the long list of Sol Smith Russell's charming productions is his "A Poor Relation" play. The engagement here of Mr. Horace Lewis in this play has been announced at the Grand the latter three nights of next week, and it is said that this sterling actor in Mr. Russell's famous part, "Noah Vale," is meeting with a perfect ovation wherever he appears. The supporting company is made up of nearly all of Mr. Russell's original support. For some reason unknown to the editor hereof a great many colored voters speak as if they intend to vote for Ed Cudhee. Many of them voted for him two years ago and they say they have no reasons for changing their vote. One voter said: "I am for the office-seeker that does not forget me as soon as I have voted for him until he wants another office. The Republican nominee for sheriff may not be that kind of a man, but he is untried, so far as the black man is concerned, and I feel like letting well enough alone by voting for Ed Cudhee. I do not know who else is going to vote for him, but Cudhee has my vote." The Seattle Republican knows not as to what Cudhee has done, but the only colored deputy sheriff ever in King county was appointed by a Democrat sheriff. The colored Republicans have received less recognition in King county than in any other county in the state, where they have half as many votes as there are in King county.
