Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. IX., NO. 42 The grand jury and its escapades are still the all-absorbing subject of the city. Foreman Pigott's hurried departure from the city, leaving that body without a head, the reorganizing of the body with Terrence O'Brien as foreman, the return of Pigott, his explanation of his leave of absence from the city, the announcement of Judge Bell that he would be restored to his place of honor and authority, the rebelling of the other members of the grand jury against any such action, the indicting of Judge T. H. Cann and Judge R. R. George, and the promised indictment of others of prominence in the city and county affairs, have all furnished food for thought for the quid nunc in carload lots for the past week. Mr. Pigott may have left the city in the interests of the grand jury, but his leaving kicked up a storm of dissatisfaction among his fellow workers and as a result he will simply have to serve out the remainder of the term without being "the man behind the gun." \* \* \* In deciding to indict Justices Cann and George the grand jury is proceeding along the same line which prompted it to indict Mayor Humes, Chief Sullivan and ex-Prosecuting Attorney Walter S. Fulton. They have all been charged with malfeasance in office for not suppressing gambling and other vices that were being openly practiced in their bailiwicks of justice. Whether it is the duty of officials to directly proceed against evil doers first or sit idly by and wait for some private citizen to complain against them is the much mooted question of the hour. In official circles the actions of the grand jury is bitterly opposed because the officials know that if they proceed in such a manner they will greatly jeopardize their chances of re-election, and that, to the office seeker, is paramount to everything else. Rumor, however, is to the effect that some of the office holders even refused to go after the gambling concerns in the city when appealed to by the citizens and that accounts for them being indicted when other office holders were not. * * * Speaking about the indictment of Judge Cann, much comment has been heard on the street, both pro and con, as to his culpability of the crime which he is to be charged with. "For forty years I have either been practicing law or on the bench and this is the first instance in all that time that a single breath of scandal or suspicion has been uttered against me," said the judge one day this week, in discussing the matter with a friend. Evidently the report braced him up sufficiently to leave his home, where he has been confined for the past two weeks or more with the grip, for on Monday he was seen at his office and shaking hands with friends on the street. Judge Cann is now past his allotted three score and ten years of age and while he has no misapprehensions as to the outcome of the case and his complete vindication, it is but natural that he feels very badly over being indicted by a grand jury in his declining years, when at best he can not expect to live but a few years more. * * * Of recent years Judge Cann has twice been elected justice of the peace on the Republican ticket, and, strange to say, neither time did he receive the nomination for the same, if the contentions of his opponents are to be believed. As the street sport would say, "he has played lucky every time and won out by a hokus pokus." The first time he was declared the party nominee for justice of the peace when it afterwards developed that he fell SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1903 way short of getting the necessary number to nominate, and C. G. Austin was actually nominated. The chairman of the convention declared him the nominee and the convention adjourning before the error was noticed the supreme court held that Cann was the regular nominee, as there was no power that could go behind the regular returns of the convention. The second time he was declared the nominee, it is now contended that neither he nor any one else was nominated. It required 165 votes to nominate and he got but 156, no one being nominated. As in the other case the convention had adjourned before the contention was raised and according to the previous decision of the supreme court nothing could be done in the matter but elect him, which was done. * * * Years ago T. H. Cann was elected to the office of justice of the peace in this city, in, what the old timers say, "ancutty days," and some very laughable stories are told of him and his administration of the strong arm of the law. Two hobos were before Judge Cann, so goes the story, for minor offenses. One of the chaps had quite a wad of money and one had none. The one that had the money the judge wished to fine, but he was unable to discover which one that was. After hearing both of their cases without arriving at a state of sentence the judge, with all the wisdom of Solomon, pointed two fingers at the two prisoners who were about to receive sentence, very pronouncedly at one of them and in words as stern as a country school master a hundred years ago, shouted, "I'll find you $50." "Oh, jege, jege, yo one please I am broke." Sit down sir, who was talking to you, sit down, I say, or I will send you to jail for six months. Whereupon he imposed the fifty dollar fine on the other fellow and he coughed up the dough at once. Strategy is before strong remarked the judge, and the county is now fifty dollars better off by my little game of strategy of finding which of the chaps had the money before taking final steps. * * * Before the daily papers discovered that one Mrs. Cora Turner, who claims to have been assaulted by a Pullman porter, C. W. Robinson, discovered she had some colored blood in her, an awful crime had been committed, but it was nothing after discovering that fact. Mrs. Turner after all sowed to the wind and reaped a whirlwind. Had she stayed in a lady's place, whether white or black, she would never got her name in the papers. She visited the resorts of the town with Robinson and then went alone in the wee sma' hours of the morning with him to his car, stripped and went to bed. Granted she was assaulted, what more in heaven's name could she expect. . . . $1,264,040.69 is not a bad showing for bank clearance increase, for last week, over the corresponding week in 1902. Last year the week's business was $2,825,250.85. This year they were $4,089,291.54. * * * It may be worth something to a steamboat to be able to say of it that it is "the fastest" on its run, but to be able to say this does not justify racing, as has been indulged in of late by certain Seattle-Bremerton steamers. That the collision between the Athlon and Reliance last Saturday did not result disastrously is no credit to the management of either vessel. The public should show their disapproval by boycotting both vessels until assured there will be no more racing. AN UNREASONABLE STRIKE. Seattle is enjoying the pleasures of its first street car strike. We know its a genuine pleasure to the citizens for a great many of them have admitted as much on the streets while enjoying a five and six mile tramp to and from home. Organized labor nine-tenths of its time is wrong in its demands and this Seattle street car demand seems even more unreasonable than their most radical demands in the past. The Seattle Electric Company has been commanded to bring men back from Tacoma, who went there to take strikers' places, just as though the company absolutely owned the men that left Seattle and went to Tacoma. The Seattle car men were getting all they had in the past asked for in the way of wages and time and the strike that they have inaugurated is by far the most unreasonable one that has ever been ordered by any organized body of men. This strike will fail, and it should do so, and the company should be very careful that it put not a single one of the agitators and leaders thereof back to work when it does fail. About June 1 a company of one hundred men will leave Seattle for Northeastern Siberia to prospect for gold. Large concessions have been received from the Russian government. It is believed that country will prove to be as rich as Alaska. . . . Seattle is to be soon connected with the navy yard at Bremerton, and other towns in that locality, by telephone, a submarine cable will be laid across the Sound from Restoration Point to Alki Point, then connect with existing lines. \* \* \* This is the closed season for chinook salmon, nevertheless gill netters, on the Columbia river, are taking large quantities of them. The run of fish is said to be unusually large for this time of year. * * * The Union Congregational Church Society will erect a $10,000 edifice on Queen Anne Avenue this summer. * * * The State University basket ball team were defeated in a well played game at Roslyn last Saturday night by the team of the Roslyn Athletic Club, the score was 11 to 6. NEWS OF THE WEEK Aberdeen is after a Carnegie library. The population of China is placed at 426,477,000. Michigan has been in the throes of a severe blizzard this week. Nome will be connected by wire with the outside world within a few days. A new invention by which the deaf are made to hear is that of a young American. The Colombian government are favorable to the Panama canal proposition, and it will no doubt be approved. Secretary of State Moody has decided upon Mantanamo, as the site for the principal United States naval station in Cuba. Carlos Ezeta, expresident of the republic of Salvador, died at Mazatlan a few days ago, in exile, poor and almost friendless. Governor McBride has appointed Victor F. Martin judge of the new judicial district of Ferry, Chelan, and Okanogan counties. James S. Harlan, attorney general of Puerto Rico, has returned to the States and tendered his resignation, to take effect April 1. The Frankfurter Journal, established in 1615, and has borne the distinction of being the oldest newspaper in the world has suspended publication. Continued on page 3 Historical society --- Dr. J. J. Smith, late president of the Eighth Washington senate, spent a few days in the city during the past week and did not seem a bit fearful lest the citizens hereof mob him for the part he played in signing the caucus call for the election of a United States senator. This must have been gall and wormwood to Harold Preston, the martyr, and Col. Blethen. Dr. Smith is not taking politics these days, but the pie-maker would not be surprised if he did not show up as a gubernatorial aspirant before the next Republican state convention. The Times to the contrary notwithstanding, Dr. Smith made an enviable record as presiding officer of the senate and he is greatly admired throughout the state. * * * It is always generally thought that when a man is elected to the United States senate by the legislature that he will try to represent the entire state, not even showing partiality for his home town, but from Senator Foster's actions in trying to prevent President Roosevelt from seeing Seattle at all, he is showing to the world at large that he is only representing the city of Tacoma in the United States senate, instead of the state of Washington. Senator Foster has never been able to see beyond the gates of the St. Paul and Tacoma Lumber Company and during the president's stay in Tacoma it is more than likely that he will endeavor to entertain him in the company's private office or as near there as possible. Water never rises higher than its level, is a well understood rule, but Addison G. Foster has never been able since he has been in the senate to even rise as high as his level. He has broken every ante-election promise that he made. Some men may be guilty of taking care of their friends only and knifing their political enemies, but Senator Foster does not seem to possess diplomacy enough to even reward his friends. That he is a complete "non est" is plain to be seen. * * * Rumor has it that Walter Fulton and Vince Faben are laying dead until the present grand jury adjourns, when they will appeal to one of the other superior judges to also call a grand jury that they may prefer serious charges against Judge Bell. Of what nature the expected charges are to be is unknown to the Pie-maker, but, if rumors are true, they will be sensational enough for even the sensational. It is very evident that both Fulton and Faben are sore to the core over the former's indictment, and if they can devise any way in the world to get even they propose to do so. In other words, they make the calling of the grand jury on the part of Judge Bell a political dodge instead of a moral reform for the benefit of the community. Mr. Fulton may have been very successful in convicting certain classes of criminals, who came before him during his incumbency of the prosecuting attorney's office, but there is no doubt but that he refused to prosecute the gambling cases that were brought to his attention, and on this point E. L. B'aine can say some very pointed things, and he doubtless will do so at the proper time. If Fulton and Faben know anything that will reflect on Judge Bell's judicialermine, which was done since he has been in office, it is their duty as citizens of this city and commonwealth to make the facts known by bringing the matter to the attention of the grand jury, for, it is surmised, the members of the present grand jury are not political tools of Judge Bell and that they would indict Judge Bell just as quickly as they would Walter Fulton if they could find anything that they thought he deserved such punishment. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 ICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS POT - PIE And now there appears another Richmond on the field for the Seattle postoffice in the person of Hon. W. A. Car.e, late representative from the 41st legislative district. It is be lieved that Mr. Carle has the endorsement of a number of the leading members of the legislature from this county, who were in the eighth legislature, and, if that be true, it is likewise thought that that will give him the political ear of Senator Ankeny, and that will give him the passive endorsement of Senator Foster, which will assure him the appointment. It is further thought by those friendly to Carle's appointment that Humphrey is not a very strong Stewart man at best and when he sees the class of politicians lined up for Carle he too will early desert the Stewart cause and also endorse Carle, and thereby assure smooth sailing almost from the very start. *** Much of the above article bearing on the postoffice in Seattle may be quite true, but, if any one thinks for a minute that the friends of Stewart are not going to make a desperate fight for reappointment they are sadly mistaken. Mr. Carle may get all of the congressional endorsement mentioned above and yet he will still have a fight on his hands, for Postmaster Stewart's greatest strength is coming largely from the business men of Seattle. The office under Mr. Stewart is in better condition than it ever was before, and on a straight canvass 90 per cent of a.1 of the business men in the city would readily sign a petition for his reappointment. Both applicants are good men, but Stewart has the advantage of being in, and he has made much of it for the past four years, and the business men are all well pleased with his work and are not willing to swap horses in the middle of the stream. * * * Congressman Humphrey, as well as the city of Seattle, is to be congratulated on the success of his trip to Washington City, in having the president's itinerary changed so that he will spend two and one half hours in this city during the middle portion of the day. With Senator Foster manipulating things, Seattle was in a fair way to be sidetracked, and have the president here only at a time when the people could not see him. Senator Ankeny, who owes so much to Seattle, helped us, so it seems, not even a little bit, to checkmate Foster's game; but when Will Humphrey got on the ground, things came our way a humming. *** Shades of populism! What next? It was a severe jolt to the cause of calamity and flat money when Charlie Towne became mixed up with Texas petroleum and joined the ranks of the oil magnates, and when our own Jim Ham, shook the sunset rays out of his whiskers' and became a servant of a sugar trust, but to have ex-Lieutenant Governor Thurston Daniels, the man whose only qualification for nomination or election to office, was his ability to say more bitter things about gold bugs, plutocrats, trusts and money combinations than any other man in the state, desert the traditions and cause of the "downtrodden" and assume the agency of a trust company, as he has done, with headquarters in Tacoma, is just one too many. It is time this Republican prosperity was put an end to. . . . It is said Congressman Jones will be appointed to one of the vacant places on the rivers and harbors committee in the next session of Congress. This is a well deserved recognition of the congressman's merit, and will be of great benefit to the state. The Seattle Republican Established May, 1894. H. R.

Walking costumes should sell well in Seattle and Tacoma these days, as walking is the order of the day. Hops are hopping now days, and those who plowed up their fields, in the Puget Sound country may wish they hadn't. The national debt was reduced nearly $6,000,000 in February notwithstanding the fact that a two billion dollar Congress was winding up its business. Evidently there is to be a Fourth of July this year again. Some of our exchanges are already talking about a celebration. Well, celebrate, let the eagle scream. Why not? If Senator Money had received money for every time he has made a monkey of himself on the race question, he would now have barrels of stuff bearing his name. The difference between Democratic and Republican management of public affairs is that the Democrats run debt making, while the Republicans conduct debt paying administrations. Having made the Red Cross Society what it is, it is very uncharitable for the trustees of that society to so unceremoniously depose Miss Carrie Barton from the presidency, as they have done. Tis said Cole Younger will elevate the stage; well it seems he always did believe in holding up the stage. That was his business before the Minnesota officials laid him on the shef for a quarter of a century. By all means let the new federal building in this city be constructed wholly of native material. There is no use going beyond our borders for a single thing necessary for its construction or embellishment. Staid old Portland, on the Willamette, is in a fair way to become Seattleized. Seattle theatrical men are securing Portland play houses and Portland men are investing in Seattle real estate. Journalistic sympathizers with the printing trust that filched the state out of thousands of dollars have had lots of paragraphic fun at Representative Levy's expense, but he finally won his point and cut the printers' bills to his own figures. The closed season for fishing takes effect April 1. The game warden and his deputies are kept busy looking after those who do not know or do not care if they do violate the law; as many speckled beauties, so it is said, are leaping into the air at the end of a string out of season. The law placing the appointing power of the police force for cities of the third class in the hands of the mayor will be a decided improvement, when it is considered the character of the material out of which the councils of some of the third class cities in this state are composed. Possibly the reason for the defeat of the woman's suffrage amendment in New Hampshire is from the fact that there are so many more women than men therein that in common with other New England States, the men were afraid they would be put out of politics and the state become a woman's borough. Another evidence that the world "does move" comes in the action of the czar of Russia in granting liberty of conscience in religious matters to his subjects. To the Jews, especially, who have been persecuted, in that country, from time immemorial, on account of their religion, this is a boon of immense moment. The findings of the anthracite coal commission were made public last Saturday morning. The miners are well pleased with the report, although it does not require the operators to recognize labor unions, but leaves them the right to employ whomsoever they like. It, however, grants the men shorter hours and, in most cases, an increase of pay. W. J. Bryan, in assuming the dictatorship, and presuming to pass for the Democratic party, upon the qualifications of all persons suggested for presidential nomination of that party, and so far finding objections to all comers, is laying himself open to the charge that no one will be acceptable to him unless he spells his name W-i-l-l-i-a-m J-e-n-n-i-n-g-s B-r-y-a-n. According to the Seattle Times, the last legislature were the worst and poorest set of statesmen ever assembled in the state capitol; but then the people understand the Colonel and do not take him seriously, and his kindy offices to disrupt the Republican party because of deeds of omission or commission, by that body, will prove as abortive as have some of his other feats. The Democratic party of this country is engaged in a Donnybrook fair time. Which is to control the party at the next heat, Clevelandism or Bryanism, that is the stake being fought for. The Republicans are caring little which side wins out. They have twice beaten Bryanism, and can do it again, and none have forgotten the effect of Clevelandism upon the country, so that is not to be feared. Ex Governor D. R. Francis of Missouri, president of the Louisiana purchase exposition and world's fair, is the latest named possible candidate for the Democratic nomination for president; but his name must not be spoken above a whisper until W. J. B. has passed verdict upon him. The trust controlling the Seattle tide flats have such a high ideal as to the value of those lands that many smaller manufacturing concerns that would like to locate here are driven to other places on the Sound. In view of this fact and the need for cheaper manufacturing sites, it is quite desirable that the Lake Washington canal project be crowded with all diligence, that the lake front may be available. The difference between ninety-nine winters and nineteen summers is only eighty autumns. It is also the difference in the ages of a recently married couple in Texas. Perhaps he of ninety-nine winters had a shakey hold upon a "barrel" that "looked good" to she of nineteen summers. And the feelings that prompted the union, on her part, were akin to those of the fellow who married the rich widow with a bad cough. Governor McBride has used his veto power quite extensively on the work accomplished by the legislature, and in doing so he has not made himself very many friends, either among the politicians or among the rank and file of the voters. In many instances he has vetoed measures that were very essential to the growth of the state, and he will hear from his arbitrary actions again before he has been given a new lease of life in office holding in this state. At the rate capital and citizens of the United States are pouring into Mexico, with the Mexicans teaching the English language in the public schools and adopting the manners and customs of this republic, it will not be long before she will be willing for Uncle Sam to put his arm around her and take her into his family. So far as this country is concerned, it is in no hurry for such a thing; but as the United States is destined, some day, to govern the whole North American continent, it will come sooner or later. The New York Mail and Express, in speaking of the election of United States senators, says: "Let the constitution stay as it is." And adds further, there is no undesirable or discreditable man in the senate who could not have gotten there just as easily by means of a popular vote, while on the other hand, several of the safest, soundest and wisest senators would probably never have been chosen by popular ballot.

Address 236 Pacific Block, Seattle, King County, Washington. Feb. 21st. 1903—22 Apr. 1903 THE AFRO=AMERICANS Dr. Mathews' Negro Help. And now among the great men of the age must be classed the editor of the Seattle Mail and Herald, for he is a discoverer. The thing that he has discovered is: that "The Negro race deserves an epitaph." True, in his great wisdom, he thinks said epitaph should be for ingratitude, but see what a bright mind it took to discover even that. The incentive which inspired this discovery is that although the want columns of the daily papers are well filled by calls for those whose domestic help has left them, one Dr. M. A. Mathews, late of the South, has lost two Negro servants who accompanied the family West. Of course these are the first who ever changed their place of work and the doctor's family is today the only one in Seattle without help. The editor claims that their leaving Dr. Mathews is nothing short of "insubordination" and that "the act shows the insincerity of the race." Inasmuch as the act is unprecedented by any race of people and the poor-dear-without-help-Dr. Mathews sowed thus when he treated his hired help "above the average" (the cutting remarks made of their race in their hearing of course not counting), the editor must be right in wishing "the ingratitude of the Negro race characterized in prose" in as much as it has never been in song. Alas, how great the oversight! Dr. Mathews' sudden transformation from a Southern complete to a thorough-going Westerner is equaled only by his ardent desire to get others out to this country. This he demonstrates by letters, written for a weekly paper, so grandly picturing the advantages of the West that many families have broken up their Southern homes and are now in Seattle. Let us pray that the good doctor in his effort to people the West has not unknowingly by these letters, whispered "insubordination" to some one's hired help. We think not, however, for we are told by his same weekly paper which takes so much thought for Dr. Mathews' welfare, that many of these persons after arriving in Seattle have hunted Dr. Mathews up and thanked him for leading them to this city. That's gratitude, the real article, and should the dear Dr. Mathews secure one of these persons for help he would then have help that would be "with the family many years," but would never leave him. On last Sunday Dr. Mathews preached upon the subject of "Giving up or giving out," and in part said: "Religion which does not lift a man into a closer relation with his God and into a truer fellowship with his fellowmen, is base." Now if he of the ready pen or his admiring editor assume the responsibility of writing the Negro's epitaph there is the assurance that it will at least be a manly effort. Kalama's Kangaroo Court. Though King Solomon was assaulted by one woman, a train conductor and his brakeman, yet because he defended himself from those vicious and villainous characters a justice of the peace at Kalama, who would make the trial judge of a kangaroo court hang his head in blushing shame for his travesty on justice, fined King Solomon $50 and costs, and the local journalistic abortion sent out from that place, two-thirds of which is published in Portland, gushed all over itself because the Negro was relieved of some $300 of his money. The whole affair begins to look as if it was but a conspiracy of all concerned to get a piece of money and they were dead certain of getting that piece of money as it had been found on the man when searched at the jail. Like so many hungry wolves did they gather about this man's incarcerated carcass and all concerned nipped a piece. The man's guilt or innocence cut no figure, he had the money and it was against the rule for a man even charged with crime to get out of town with a single dollar. Told Nothing' New. The P.-I. article on the race question last Monday was to say the least a rather lengthy dissertation, but in fact was nothing more than a rehash of ideas advanced by Hon. F. L. Bar- nett, which was reproduced by The Seattle Republican last Friday from the Inter Ocean. There was a time when the American Negro needed both pity and sympathy, but that is quite a thing of the past and all he needs is an opportunity—a fair field and no favors—and he will do as well and even better than his white brother. There is nothing now that the latter can do, but what it can be done with equal ease and completeness by the former. The Negro is a failure because the Anglo-Saxon wills him to be and because he uses every device known to the most cunning and unscrupulous American to make him so appear in the eyes of the world. Employ the Negro for his fitness and for his ability to do better than the other fellow and hundreds will soon be holding lucrative positions where none now do. Its not the Negro wrong, but it is the Anglo-Saxon wrong in heart. PERSONAL Mr. A. D. Griffin, of Portland, is in the city attending to Masonic Lodge business.

Ask your Grocer AMUSEMENTS. FIELD'S MINSTRELS Al. G. Field's monologue on the trust question is pronounced a gem of wit by the critics. While this may be true, it is nevertheless a fact that those reading between the lines may read a good sermon in industrial conditions as they exist today in this country. The troubles of "Brother Anderson," while they amuse, also instruct. Mr. Field has long been a close studen of affairs political, and can discuss with as much intelligence the latest phase of the industrial situation and the struggle going on between capital and labor, as he does the lighter topics of every day life. Mr. Field invariably writes his own "stuff," as it is called by the printers, and is the author of many side-splitting jokes that are told with gusto by other comedians. He will positively appear with the Al. G. Field Greater Minstrels, which will exhibit here at the Grand next Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN." The life work of Mrs. Harriet Beecher' Stowe is done. She has been the most successful author in America. One hundred thousand copies of "Uncle Tom" were sold within eight weeks of its publication. The present sale is certainly up among the millions, while it has been translated into all European as well as several Asiatic languages. Dramatized, it has today all of its earliest popularity. Her theme was the magnificent one that touched every heart. She caught it, it inspired her and "Uncle Tom" will be immortal. Her other works were able, but lacked the power of a great theme. Edson's grand double company, with big band and thirty-seven people, will present this popular drama at the Grand a week from tomorrow, Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5.
