Seattle Republican

NORTHWEST The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society POLITICAL POT - PIE --- VOL. IX., NO. 35 The senatorial election has been settled and Hon. Levi Ankeny, as was predicted in these columns, finally triumphed and was elected by the joint assembly of the eighth legislature of the state of Washington last Thursday. It has been known for a number of days that he would be elected, but the Preston people have managed to defer it from time to time believing that something might turn up that would stem the tide. Since statehood was first given to the territory of Washington Mr. Ankeny has been a standing candidate for United States senator, and though on previous occasions he has been within a hair's breath of election he never reached the goal of his ambition until last Thursday when he was declared the successful candidate for United States senator by the president of the senate. Levi Ankeny's name has been a by-word in the political affairs of this state for many years and no election, if it was only for a road supervisor, was held without the Ankeny senatorial campaign bobbing into it at some point or another. It is charged that Mr. Ankeny has expended not less than half a million dollars in his attempt to represent the state of Washington in the United States senate and whether such a charge is or is not true, there is no denying the fact that he has maintained and kept together a most splendid political organization, which organization has been loyal to him at every turn of the road. Mr. Ankeny is deserving of the honor conferred upon him if for no other reason than for his persistency in standing by his guns, and if he spent money by the thousands to perfect his organization and not for the corruption of the voters at least directly then he has done nothing more than other men, only he did it in a different direction from them. Mr. Ankeny had the money to keep his organization together and the other fellow had the tact and ability to keep his organization together by political patronage, while the orther fellow managed to hold his organization together by some commercial spirit eminent in his locality. Irrespective of how he may have brought about the final action, which resulted in his election, the most of the people of this state will take a long sigh of relief now that he has been elected to the United States senate and to some extent eliminated from the local politics of the state. The senatorial campaign which has resulted in Mr. Ankeny's election was without a doubt the tameest affair of its kind ever held at Olympia, where numerous hot battles have been fought won and lost. It was without either enthusiasm, snap or the necessary sinews of politics floating about, the Ledger's Ankeny barrel to the contrary notwithstanding. There are many reasons why it has been a calm campaign, some of which we herewith give. First of all Levi Ankeny's forces were so well organized that they needed no hurrah enthusiasm to keep them in line. Their minds were made up and they each went to their respective works without either coaching or calling. Not one swerved from his purpose after arriving in Olympia until his election, and enthusiasm therefore was wholly unnecessary on their part. On the other hand the forces of John L. Wilson was whipped at the ballot box in the fall election and the corporal's guard, who managed to run the gauntlet of the party bolter, could not honorably do anything else but vote for Wilson, hoping that in so doing something might come their way which would bring success to their ideal. It, therefore, needed no enthusiasm to keep his men together and their courage up. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1903 Last was the Harold Preston campaign. There has been a lack of enthusiasm all along in his fight. The rank and file of King county were totally indifferene whether Preston was or was not elected. In him they were up against a political iceberg. He was half heartedly supported from the very outset. He was only supported at all because it was known after McBride became governor that he favored his candidacy. Under such conditions it was argued that King county might thereby get a representative in the U. S. Senate, a thing she so much desired. * * * Laboring under such a delusion prompted the county convention to endorse his candidacy and instructed her members of the legislature to vote for him for senator. On arriving at Olympia the members voted for him loyally, but they kept away from his headquarters, owing to the class of men who seemed to be in charge of the same. Then again at home Preston sored so high above them that some of them did not know him at all, while others only passingly knew him, but had never spoken to him, therefore to hob nob with him at Olympia because he wanted their vote, only that and nothing more, was out of the question. Those Seattle people who went to Olympia to shout for him returned to Seattle after a day and a night of it with, "excuse me, please." Hence it will be readily seen every spark of enthusiasm that might have been injected into the Preston campaign was smothered out by the reception given them on arriving at Olympia and that, too, by the very man and men in whose interest they were there. . . . One more reason why there was a lack of enthusiasm in the Preston campaign was because he has been hooked up to the McBride railroad commission bill and permitted his election to the senate to become only a kite to the governor's pet hobby, the railroad commission bill, which was to be used for his own political agrandizement. "Yes, I think we could have elected Preston in a whoop if he only had had about a half a dozen more paramount issues for his delegation to work on," said one of his most loyal and enthusiastic supporters, and be expressed the situation fully. Delegations sent from Seattle to advise with the King county legislators, who urged the election of Mr. Preston, when asked did they want a railroad commission, did not mince words in answering in the negative. "We want Preston for senator, because he is a King county man, but we are not in favor of any railroad commission bill under any condition," were their final decision in the matter. If men could show any spirit of enthusiasm under such circum stance you must go further than here for your information. More political information the year round can had from reading the Seattle Republican each week than any other weekly paper published in or out of the state, and your subscription would be highly appreciated. Much could be said in its own behalf along this line, but modesty prevents, and therefore it is hoped you will not HON. LEVI ANKENY Washington's U. S. Senator-Elect overlook a subscription to it for the ensuing year. * * * With the election of Levi Ankeny and the defeat of the railroad commission bill in sight the railroad people are strictly in luck, but it is up to them to decide after getting all they have gone after, if in doing so they have not killed the hen that laid the golden egg. In getting all they wanted have they not so badly compromised the Republican party that defeat even at this stage of the game is staring it in the face. However favorable Western Washington voters may be to the railroad interest it is very evident that Eastern Washington voters do not entertain similar views and will vote their views at the next opportunity. The Fusion party was defeated two years after its sweeping victory in 1896 because it did not fulfill its pledges and promises to the people made on the stump. If the Demo-Pops have passed the anti-railroad measures that they promised in their Ellensburg convention to do, the party in all probability would now be in power in this state, the national Republican prosperity to the contrary notwithstanding. In convention assembled the Republicans made certain promises like unto those made by the Demo-Pops, and like that aggregation will go back on them in the legislature. Now will history continue to repeat itself and the Republican party be defeated as were the Demo-Pops. The railroad commission bill from a Seattle-Tacoma standpoint is a very bad measure, but after all these two big counties lack a great deal of casting enough Republican votes to stem the storm in case a squall hits the grand old party. Let Republican not overlook the fact PRICE FIVE CENTS that their party is first and its sacred rights should be carefully guarded and protected. . . . Patrickhenrywinston, the fossilistic-political acrobat, who is fearful lest the Negro of this country become his equal at the ballot box, has departed from Olympia after a two weeks' struggle with the legislature on various matters. The old fossil must have been thoroughly convinced before he left the state capital that the intelligent members of that august body thought him no better political adviser than the most unpretentious Sambo anywhere to be found in the lagoons of the South. In whatever gathering he is to be found he unfortunately always gives himself dead away by talking too much out of his mouth, and it takes his hearers but a few minutes to discover that through the aperture in his cranium only wind and gas spontaneously wheezes through which produces grating noises, which, to some extent, resembles the human voice. . . . Whether the King county delegation should or should not have consented to a caucus is still the burning question at Olympia among the members and lobby in general and the King county delegation in particular. There was never enough votes in the legislature opposed to Ankeny even if they had have had all combined to have elected Preston without Democratic assistance and that was far fetched and very uncertain, for in case the Democrats had have split up on Republican candidates its dollars to droughtnuts that Ankeny would have gotten more than Preston. Under such conditions the King county delegation could not have hoped to do more than to bring about a "deadlock" preventing the election of any one—and King only being a county in the state of Washington it is very doubtful if her representatives would have done her any political service by permitting the legislature to adjourn without electing a senator when her candidate was the minority one. Levi Ankeny had a majority of the Republican legislators ever since the session convened and that too not including King and by all the rules of political precedent he was entitled to the election unless he got that majority by questionable methods, and no one seemed inclined to go on the stand and swear that he did. With these facts looming up in front of them like a Ranier it is absolute rot to charge the King county delegation as being traitors and rascals because a majority of them favored a caucus that the senatorial question might be settled, and needed legislation might be hastened. It is to be regretted that King county is once more in the soup, but it is not the Seattle spirit to sit down and whine over adversity, but rather to profit from experience with the view of succeeding the next time and in the past she has always done so. Teller Told True. The legislative squabble in Colorado has ended in the election of Henry M. Teller as United States senator. The struggle might have been prolonged but Mr. Wolcott withdrew from further participation in the contest and nothing more could be done but to acknowledge Mr. Teller the winner. Stormy times prevailed in Denver during the height of the senatorial excitement, but luckily for all concerned no blood was shed, as was generally thought would be done before the struggle finally ended. Mr. Wolcott claims that the collapse, so far as he was concerned, was brought about by the treachery of a number of Republicans. He, however, paid a glowing tribute to Senator Teller's honesty, uprightness and ability. The Seattle Republican Established May, 1894.

He who cannot muster up a consist- t pretext to score the police force this city for sins of omission as Il as commission must be a dead President Roosevelt must feel much relieved in mind that he has met Se- attle’s Will E. Humphrey. “Me and Roosevelt will make Rome howl when I take my seat.” When Mr, Blizzard and Miss Snow, two young Michigan society folk, be- came one in heart and soul, what else save cold snaps and sudden squalls could be expected. Germany's continued firing on Vene- zuelan forts is done more to show her contempt for the Monroe doctrine than to do the Venezuelan government any great harm, Will the worm turn? If Johnny Bull had the inclination to make the search he could _ find enough of Col, Lynch's kind of re- pellious: subjects to fill every, one of his prisons full and overflowing. Joe Smith, the Times Olympia cor- respondent, seems to be the most con- summate liar unhung. If he goes through the session without getting his mug smashed it will be a miracle, Kentucky's cowardly curs, who shot Gov. Goebel, ought to take a long sigh of relief as they have finally found a Negro to make a scap grace of and thereby themselves escape punishment. A dispatch from Decatur, Il, says: “The prominent women will bore for oil.” If they are as successful in bor- ing for oil as the prominent men have been in the past it will be a case of €yveek meet Greek. A political trust for “my people” pleads Bishop Walters and Bill Pled- ger, so we two hold the majority of stock. “Well, I guess nit,” forthwith comes from the president and another general amen goes up. Now that Johnny Clancy is home again the grand jury should question him very closely about those election repeaters who voted quick and often in the First ward if only two wheels were assured them for so doing. Since lynching had its origin in the criminal craniums of the Tillmanites of the South it perhaps might see its end if the Tillman family from the cradle to the grave were now taken out and lynched to the nearest limb. Some people are getting awfully un- easy less Roosevelt get into political trouble over his friendship for the Negro. Don’t feel jealous, neighbor, for both Roosevelt and his friends will see to it that you won't be noticed. What's the use of enacting anti- miscegnation laws. If the males and females among the various races do not want each other there is no prob- ability of their miscegnating, but, on the other hand, if they do want each ether, they are going to miscegnate, law or no law. if you think the fools are all dead or are in the swamps of Louisiana you have on!y to read about the har- vest reaped by one V. F. Scudder of New York, who was raffling off a pretty girl for marriage, if the ap- plicant would only send one dollar in payment for her photograph, and 5,000 of them bit. ‘There was a young man called Teddy, Whose boast was, “I'm rough and I'm ready; I cast Crums on the water, She's a dark Southern daughter, And I'd stand by my black and tan leddy.—Tacoma Democrat. And he will do so even though he does lose the friendship of the Till- man branch of the Democratic party, both North and South. Lobbyists are now in Olympia in behalf of the “south canal” proposi- tion to the detriment of the north canal to Lake Washington. If a city ever was imposed upon by a so-called public enterprise that city is Seattle, and that imposition is “the Seattle waterway.” It never was anything, it is nothing now and it never will be anything more than a raw specula- tion, Its stock in trade is nothing more nor less than the knocking the government canal work, which would be built at once if only such knockers were put to sleep. Z Souvenir: Number. One of the finest souvenir editions to come to our desk, this winter, is that of the Seattle Republican, which Just arrived this week, It is built in magazine form, of extra fine paper, and is devoted principally to Seattle and King county. Business men and Seattle politicians are given prom- inent space. The issue is profusely illustrated throughout with extra fine half-tone cuts, The Republican is a geneial weekly newspaper published by a colored man, who usually devotes a department to the advancement of his race and who deserves all the suc- cess that may come to him. This bright souvenir is a worthy production of the best print shop in the country. —Wilbur Register. Among the many elegant special edi- tions recently issued the Seattle Re- publican’s is by no means the least meritorious. It consists of 24 pages profusely illustrated and is printed on heavy book paper. A large size por- | tai of Harold Preston, the man who will not be our next U. S. senator, adorns the first page and there are numerous other portraits of prominent men of the state scattered through the paper among which the handsome phiz of our assistant attorney general C. C. Dalton, easily catches the eye of his Pacific county friends. The typog- raphy is excellent and the reading matter instructive and entertaining. Editor H. R. Cayton has certainly done himself, his people and his city very | proud.—Willapa Harbor Pilot. | |The Seattle Republican's souvenir jeaiton comes to our table this week looking so bright and attractive we just took an hour off and looked it over carefully. Of all the souvenirs that have come to our table this year the Republican is among the most at- tractive. It consists of a write-up of different portions of the state, is pro- fusely illustrated with splendid half tone cuts and is not only a splendid compendium of facts and figures, but is a gem typographically. Success to the Republican —Cascade Miner. ‘The souvenir edition of the Seattle Republican was indeed a credit to that paper. It was replete with valuable information regarding the state of Washington in general and Seattle in particular. Many prominent citizens, from all portions of the state, were given space among the illustrations. No one should hesitate to send such an edition {o friends in the Bast.— Asotin Sentinel, The souvenir number of The Seat- tle Republican was’ a very fine piece of work.—Puyallup Independent. ‘The Seattle Republican, the leading Afro-American publication of the Northwest and always a very inter- esting journal from a political stand- point, issued a very handsome special edition on the 9th inst.—Arlington Times. Seattle Republican—The souvenir edition of this paper is a credit to any publisher. It is a happy reflex of the rapid growth of Seattle and will do much in the way of attracting vis- itors to the zenith city of the Sound.— Clarkston Republican. The Seattle Republican and the Daily Bulletin have both issued their holiday editions within the lest two weeks, The editions are well gotten up, profusely illustrated and a credit to their publishers.—Sidney Independ: ent.

TALES OF THE TOWN Rev. Randall's Success. A few days ago Rev. E. M. Randall, Jr., pastor of the First M. E. Church of this city, closed one of the most successful Christian revivals ever held in Seattle, which revival has brought about a renewed activity in the affairs of the church to exercise a more wholesome influence over the citizens hereof. Mr. Randall may not be so gifted a preacher as was Paul of old, but he is brim full of Christian zeal and his congregation believes what he says and believes that he believes it and he conducts himself accordingly, and that is the secret of his great success. a new phase of the wide open policy and its attending grafts which was never before brought out. Down at the Bailey lunch counter, where by the way a great majority of the business of the city take their mid-day lunch, it is amusing to see the big and little bugs meet at one common table to chew and incidentally josh the white-haired proprietor, who, though three score and ten, yet as active and entertaining as a man not half his age. HON. JOHN B. ALLEN DEAD. The death of no man in the North-west has caused so much heartfelt More Police Brutality. If the statements of one Wilson be correct, the police headquarters of this city is guilty of another man having been beaten almost insensible by the night jailer. Wilson claims that while a prisoner at the headquarters he was unmercifully beaten and in proof of that fact he has been at his home lying almost at the point of death ever since released. He claims Jailer Corbett did the job and did it as only Corbett can do when he has the advantage of a fellow man. This is not the first case of brutality reported from the city jail as having been practiced on a prisoner by the blue-coated brutes in charge thereof, and the proper authorities should see to it that such be stopped, or the next man that it is perpetrated upon should as soon as it is convenient take a shot at the man that does it. Dr. Mathews Comes Down. It begins to look as though Dr. Mathews of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, who began his pastoral work here with a view of Southernizing Seattle, has given up the undertaking as a hopeless task and he himself has been Seattleized. Dr. Mathews has almost reached the stage of being only a plain every day human being like the average man living in the West, and his sermons are no longer passionate appeals to his hearers to maintain Anglo-Saxon supremacy at all hazards, but are of Christ and him crucified as those of other religionists. Dr. Mathews is from the "South, sah," but in the West he finds himself and his kind quite small potatoes and very few in the hill. University Faculty Foolishness. If less of the valuable time of the faculty of the State University was killed in trying to direct the affairs of the 'varsity teams of the school and the various other school societies and whims indulged in by students from which not an iota's educational good is derived, perhaps the University could make out on less than $200,000 per annum, as it is now asking from the legislature. There is plenty of work for the faculty to do in the various school rooms without likewise being mixed up with the antics of a lot of boys and girls. Lick them if they fight, lick them if they do not learn, that successfully done is all and teacher can or should want to do. Hoggish Contractors. Concrete concerns feel absolutely certain that the board of public works will let contracts for the concreting of at least twenty blocks of First avenue as soon as the weather conditions will permit work to begin. Now if Second avenue from Plke street is graded and likewise concreted truly a harvest is in store for those engaged in that business, as they pay their men wretched wages in comparison with the prices they get for their work. In letting these contracts the city should to some extent regulate the wages paid to the laborers and thereby prevent contractors from gobbling up everything in sight. You Must Stand In. Less the police infringe on the prerogatives of the merchants' patrol assistance, so comes a report, was refused a woman in North Seattle, who had been knocked down, gagged and bound and then robbed. In other words unless you dig up to the merchants' patrol you cannot get police protection in Seattle. Well, here is a new phase of the wide open policy and its attending grafts which was never before brought out. Down at the Bailey lunch counter, where by the way a great majority of the business of the city take their mid-day lunch, it is amusing to see the big and little bugs meet at one common table to chew and incidentally josh the white-haired proprietor, who, though three score and ten, yet as active and entertaining as a man not half his age. HON. JOHN B. ALLEN DEAD. The death of no man in the Northwest has caused so much heartfelt sorrow as that of Hon. John B. Allen, who died at his home last Wednesday night after not to exceed an hour's illness. During the day the senator, as he was commonly addressed, owing to the fact that he once represented this state in the United States senate, seemed perfectly well and in the best of spirits, and felt no pain or sickness until a late hour in the night, when he complained of a severe pain about the heart, and though doctors were immediately summoned he died within an hour after the first alarm was given. Nothing more can be said in these columns of the nobleness and greatness of the man than has already been said in the daily papers, but from personal experience the editor hereof knows that Senator Allen was one of God's noblemen, not only in one thing, but throughout his entire career. That he was such is self-evident, as his fellow citizens always vied with each other to honor him on every occasion that they could. Without any intention to hurt any one's feelings in this connection, it can be said without fear of successful contradiction, that had the twenty-five members of the legislature from this county gone to Olympia supporting John B. Allen instead of Harold Preston he would have been elected United States senator Wednesday, and perhaps sooner, instead of Levi Ankeny. An overwhelming majority of the voters of this county believe that Mr. Allen was the logical candidate and so expressed themselves from time to time. His demise is one of the most regrettable that has occurred in this city for a number of years. His public career in this state has been a long and useful one, and will be greatly missed by all parties and classes.

SCHOENFEL 1019 SEATTLE TACO Standard Furniture Company --- A BIG EVENT OUR JANUARY SALE CURRENT COMMENT. A proposition is now before Congress with a view of appropriating $50,000 to erect a statue in Washington City in honor of Samuel J. Tilden, the modern Moses of Democracy. Tilden, though a Democrat, had many public traits which could be even commended by Republicans. Contrary to the opinions of a majority of the members of his party he believed and worked for honest money, favored a tariff for revenue only, and a taxation limited to the needs of the government economically administered. As a public servant he bore down just as hard on a Democratic rascal as a Republican one and many of his own party, who succeeded by questionable methods, were made to feel the power of his opposition and, in many instances, his prosecution. He constantly opposed paternalism and centralization in the federal government, and, while at the head of the Democratic party, ruled it by brains rather than by wind power or brute force. The bill will hardly run the gauntlet of both houses, but the nation could go further and yet not find a man half so deserving of his memory being perpetuated by the erection of a monument than Samuel J. Tilden. Tobacco National Luxury. The American people are truly married to the habit of using tobacco and perhaps to a greater extent than any other nation in the world. For the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1902, the commissioner of internal revenue declares that 6,906,749,968 cigars were consumed in the United States, which was about 19,000,000 cigars for every day in the year, which cost the consumers $346,000,000. Notwithstanding this large outlay for cigars it was not to exceed one-third of that paid out for tobacco in other forms. For instance 2,658,176,130 cigarettes and 315,719,475 pounds of tobacco and snuff were burned in the pipes and snuff boxes of the American people during the year. The government authorities usually collect in the neighborhood of $70,500,000 per annum from the tobacco revenue, but the amount increases as the consumers increase their use of the weed. It will thus be seen that more money is burned up in the consumption of tobacco than it requires to run the government one year with another. * * * Polygamy Still Practiced. The press, the pulpit and the people are much exercised at present over the actual election of Reed Smoot to the United States senate from Utah. Smoot is a Mormon, though he claims to not be a polygamist. He, however, is second in authority in that great church, whose corner stone and foundation is laid on polygamy, which principles are still much believed in by the people of that faith. Mr. Smoot himself may not practice polygamy, but he is in full sympathy and accord with those who do so and their names are legion. As a Mormon he knows full well that polygamy is being prac- OF OUR BIG JANUARY SALE STANDARD WHATCOM ticed all over the state, and anybody who knows anything about it will testify to that fact and is therefore a particeps criminals both before and after the fact. Whether the senate will refuse to seat Mr. Smoot on these grounds remains to be seen, but he is being bitterly opposed by the American women and by those men not effected by political creeds. Recently Dr. Sarah Elliott, who has spent a great many years in Utah, declared over her own signature that the same conditions that prevailed in that territory before it was a state and before the government laid violent hands on it in order to suppress polygamy, exist today, and polygamy is being practiced by all who so desire and that means pretty nearly every man who is a member of the church. Dr. Elliott says the same conditions exist among Mormons as exist in a Harem and she further declares the women seem resigned to their fate and rather pleased with it. One young woman bemoaned the fact that she was not married and in all seriousness offered the loan of her husband. Another young woman she met was beautifying herself because her husband was coming to spend a week with her. She met similar laughable and yet deplorable experiences, not in years past, but in recent weeks past, which prompts her to remark that polygamy was being practiced as much today as it ever was and there was no way to reach it, because the state was completely in the hands of the Mormon people and such was not looked upon by them as a crime against nature. Oom Paul Despondent. A report recently sent out from Mentone, France, is to the effect that Paul Kruger, once styled the "Lion of South Africa," better known as "Oom Paul," and still better known as "President of the Boers," is now sick and disheartened and living very quietly at Mentone. So quietly that his presence is hardly known in the town. The old gentleman is a recluse not going anywhere nor receiving any visitors. He still continues to keep up his Bible reading at home and this takes the place of his attending public worship, as was his custom in his South African home. BROTHER IN BLACK. It is with a source of exquisite pleasure that The Seattle Republican reproduces some comments on its souvenir number from leading Afro-American journals in the East. The journalistic course pursued by The Republican since its establishment has not met the approval of many Negroes conducting newspapers, but time has to some extent modified their sentiments in this direction, as will be seen from the excerpts below. The Seattle Republican has always believed in order for a Negro to succeed as a journalist he must edit and publish such a paper as will compel men and women i. respective of their color or nationality to not only read, but consider what it says. The Negro is as much an American citizen as the Anglo-Saxon—even though he is a bit shady. The Negro is, or ought to be, as much concerned in this government as the Anglo-Saxon. Then if he happens to choose the journalistic field for a profession, why is it not his duty to look into public questions the same as the Anglo-Saxon journalist. Run a broad-gauged newspaper and the Negro journalist will come almost as near succeeding as any other nationality. The New York World is owned and operated by Joe Pulitzer, a Jew, but it is never classed as a Jewish paper, and it would have failed practically before it began if it had, then why should those newspapers operated by Negroes be dubbed "nigger papers," or "colored men's papers" instead of newspapers, as are papers run by Anglo-Saxons. The Republican repeats it highly appreciates the clippings from the papers below, which are edited and operated by Negroes. Lays It Over All. In the publication of souvenir editions of Negro journals, the Seattle Republican of Seattle, Wash., "lay it over" the whole craft in its issue of January 9th. It contains 24 pages printed on very fine glazed paper in book form 14x21 inches. It is beautifully illustrated and the mechanical work can not be surpassed. The Republican is one of the best papers on our X list, and why shouldn't it be, when the publisher, H. R. Cayton, is one of the best newspaper men in the country.—Colorado Statesman. Best Ever Seen. The Seattle Republican issues a souvenir number that is one of the best we have ever seen. Editor Cayton must be thoroughly imbued with the push and energy that are doing so much for the Northwest to accomplish such results. In make-up and workmanship the paper is a beauty, and the reading matter is of superior excellence.—San Francisco Outlook. East or West It Leads. The Seattle Republican issued on the 9th inst., was a work of art and surpassed anything in its line west of the Missouri river, and we might say east of the Missouri river as well. For a western paper the Republican is head and shoulders above all, especially from its editorials, advertisements and general appearance. We heartily congratulate the management.—Omaha Progress. Was Never Equaled. We have just received the "Souvenir Number" of the Seattle Republican, issued January 9th, consisting of twenty pages and a four-paged illuminated cover, printed on white enamel paper. It is one of the most creditable productions we have seen, and is entirely different from anything usually offered by an Afro-American paper. The environment of Brother Cayton is unquestionably unlike that of other publishers which makes his artistic up-to-date issue possible. However, if the spirit of conception, progress, push and perseverance were not in the man, we would not have enjoyed the ocular, tangible evidence thereof. Many years ago The Appeal issued a 40-page paper, which was the biggest thing ever produced by an Afro-American paper. It contained over 300 illustrations, which were the best available at that time, some thirteen years ago, but it was not to be compared with the issue of Brother Cayton's for artistic illustration. We extend congratulations to Brother Cayton and hope he may long continue to enjoy the era of prosperity which seems to surround him. He deserves it.—St. Paul Appeal. Was Not a Mixer. The name of William H. Lewis, which is playing such a prominent part in the public eye throughout the country at present, was made famous by his successful football playing while in college. Recently Lewis was appointed Assistant United States District Attorney for Boston and it is the first appointment of its kind ever made in the New England states. He is distinctly colored in nationality, both of his parents being of the same nationality and he being born in the state of Virginia. Aside from his foot ball career, which has been a brilliant as well as a successful one, Mr. Lewis has had considerable political experience since he left school, though a man rather young in years. He was a number of times clerk and member of the city council of Cambridge and in 1901 was elected a member of the legislature of the state of Massachusetts. He was nominated for the same place by the Republicans, but not being a mixer, that is to say, not mingling with the people of his own nationality as freely as they would have him do, they turned against him and defeated him at the polls in 1902. His football friends, however, rallied to his rescue and induced President Roosevelt to name him for the position which he now occupies, and that to the utter chagrin of those colored people who opposed him on account of his not mixing with them. Mr. Lewis is said to be a brilliant lawyer and is one of the most popular men, irrespective of color or nationality, in the city of Boston. PERSONAL.

For the presentation of "Miss Simplicity," the new operatic comedy in which he is to appear at the Grand next Friday and Saturday, Frank Daniels carries by far the largest company that he has ever had, nearly one hundred people being on its roster. There are thirty-one speaking parts in the piece. Kirke La Shelle is said to have exercised the greatest care and discrimination in the selection of the big chorus for Daniels, looking first of all for vocal excellence and next to the shapeliness, youth and beauty of the fifty and more girls who represent "The Belles of Sauterelle," "The Girls of the Montfort Party" and the various other contingents that go to make up "the merry merry" for Daniels' tour this season. "HUMAN HEARTS." "Human Hearts," the melo-dramatic success announced at the Grand next Sunday night, appeals to every class of playgoers. It deals with a story that teems with heart interest from beginning to end. Tom Logan, an honest young blacksmith in the Arkansas hills, falls in love with and marries a reformed confidence woman. The dull country life soon palls on her. She accidentally meets her former lover and "pal." Without any just cause, they conspire together to ruin Tom and kill him if necessary. They go to his home. The woman rings the bell while her accomplice conceals himself. The father of Tom responds and is mistaken for the young blacksmith. He is fatally stabbed by the ambushed man. Tom, coming out to see where his father is, is accused by the adventures and her "pal" of the murder. He is finally sentenced on that charge. But his friends ultimately establish his innocence and he is released. Retribu- tion overtakes his villainous and murderous accusers. No play of its kind possesses a stronger plot or more sensational incidents. The serious element is mingled with comedy, forming a combination that never fails to touch a responsive chord in the hearts of playgoers.
