Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Mike Doogen Meets the Universal Religion Club Historical Society VOL. I.X. NO. 43 The Piemaker is not doing the senatorial stunt at the present for any aspirant from King county because he believes that it is altogether too early to trot out any particular individual, but, as has already been pointed out in these columns, King county should make haste slowly in its next attempt to land the senatorial plum. That is to say, she should make no selection for a candidate until she has thoroughly canvassed the situation and found out what candidate, if any, she has can bring to her the greatest amount of outside assistance, and when such candidate has been found then and not until then, make him King county's candidate. Going to the legislature with twenty-five votes and demanding in the name of King county, the most powerful county in the state, is political rot pure and simple, and will get King county nothing unless she has some outside allies. As yet no one has announced his intention of aspiring for the honor, hence discussing the availability of this or that man is a waste of words. Uppermost of all, so far as King county is concerned, should be, who are your candidates; secondly, what outside strength have they, and, lastly, which of them has the most. With these points properly gone into it will be an easy matter to decide which aspirant, if any, is the one for King county to tie to. Speaking about the senatorial situation from a King county standpoint, the following communication from a well known Eastern Washington politician has been received at this office, and space in the Poot Pie is freely given because the Pie-maker truly believes it is good advice, and advice that King county folk would do well to give ample consideration and then act accordingly. Hear it: MIKE DOOGEN. Seattle, March, 1903. Dear Fayther Limerick: The Universal Riligun Club met over Klancy's saloon. Fayther Abraham cum in led by Brother Piper. He was blindfolded uv course, because its so unvirtuous down thare. Fayther took his sate in the pristident's chare. It is remarkable how much generosity there is in the human heart—some hearts, we mean. Right here in Seattle we have an exhibition of generosity that puts Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Carnegie, et al, away back in the shade. They give for the satisfaction and glory that comes to them, but here we have a brace of liberal hearted citizens, who, out of the largeness of their generous natures, propose to give to the city six valuable (?) bots, for the site of the proposed new public building. A peculiar feature of the situation is that they are spending so much time and money in trying to persuade the public that they should accept this generous offer. The fact that these large hearted citizens have other property in close proximity to that they propose to give, which will be greatly enhanced in value, is only incidental. It of course has nothing to do with the philanthropy that so suddenly seizes these men. Debased be the man that would hint at such a thing. Once more, by the grace of the employees of the Seattle Electric Co. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 3. 1903 TALES OF THE TOWN ```markdown ``` "I noticed the Pie-maker in your issue of March 20th, in which you urge King county to line up for the election of U. S. Senator to succeed Senator Foster. This suggestion will meet with warm approval by the rank and file of the Republican party of the East Side, and we are not, as you intimate, opposed to a Seattle man. King county will have the support of many of the small East Side counties in its efforts to secure the next United States senator, provided he be a man with some reputation for ability to accomplish things. Seattle is recognized as the business metropolis of the state, and her claims to a representative in the upper branch of Congress will be admitted and recognized provided she is wise and puts forward a man with some reputation for being able to command some influence among national men. Gov. McBride's stock has dropped several notches among what is termed the "cow counties," since the adjournment of the legislature, particularly in the counties comprising the new judicial district, of which Victor F. or Charles V. or C. Victor Martin was recently appointed judge. While the people have smothered their feelings over this appointment, there is a settled undercurrent of bitterness over the determination of the Governor to wholly ignore the wishes of the people, and this bitterness will manifest itself at the very opportunity to the disadvantage of Gov. McBride. The people claim they have been unjustly treated by the Governor in hav- oogen Meet The minutes was rid, by Secretary Parry. We elected 3 new members—Argoale, Klance an' Shuffleton. The new members has to kiss the president whin they take the oath to be virtuous, 'onest an' true. Klance said, "Did the Prisident take this oath?" "Sure," said Oi. Phat difference does a little thing looie that make to the fayther of universal religion. So they all tik the oath, but the kissin' of Fayther Abraham made Klance swear to bate the divil. Brother Shuffleton kissed several toimes, an' set in his lap a long toime. They will be slapin' in a little room toogether before long. But Oi must go back now an' give you Fayther's spache whin he was illicted President of the Universal Religion Club. He sed: "Dear Brothers uv the Universal Religion Club: Oim filled wid commotion an' religious virtue when Oi we ride. The "I walk" badges have been filed away as souvenirs of a great big mistake and a blunder. However, it is over now, and by-gones must be by-gones, except so far as we may learn wisdom out of the fasco, for some of us only gain knowledge through the mistakes we make. We would like, however, if some one would "wise us" as to what the strikers gained out of it. Of course, it would be unkind to intimate that it was a complete backdown and loss on their part, but we are too obtuse to see it in any other light. It is evident to all what their losses are. First, a week's wages; next, self-respect, for no one can play at a foolish, loosing game without loss of self-respect, then loss of respect from a disgusted, discommoded public, for every one recognizes they had ing a judge thrust upon them against whom such grave charges are uncontradicted, and they will avail themselves of the first opportunity to get even with the Governor." When men and politicians charge John L. Wilson with only making appointments when he was United States senator who were personal friends of his, they speak things that they cannot substantiate and things they would fade away like snow in June before an investigation. The records will prove that Mr. Wilson did not make a single recommendation in this state, barring that of Col. Hustise, for a federal appointment for which the applicant had not been recommended and endorsed by a majority of the leading and most influential Republicans of the county in which the applicant was to serve, or who was not endorsed by a majority of the Republicans of the state when the position was one of a state character. Talk is cheap, but it is just as easy to be fair and state the truth in your opposition to a political aspirant as to be unfair and state untruths in order to defeat him, or put him in a false light. The Pie-maker does not know whether Mr. Wilson will or will not be a candidate for United States senator at the hands of the next legislature, but whether he is or is not there is no use of deliberately lying on the man because you personally dislike him. If the records will show where he in a single instance took s the Univ look on your honest, pure faces. Oi feel that the objects of this club will be ackomplished. We will put down korruption and bribery (grate applause grated this. Bro. Semple and Bro. Parry both sed Amen! Amen!) We will stan' together fur honesty in the City Council, an' no sellin' franchises an' saloon licenses by the Council." The sivin uv us stood up an' sed (on the side) "Hear the ole darlin! Amen! Amen!!" "We will stan' to put down gambling an' have no grafters between the city haul an' the gamblers." At this Klancy, Argoale, Piper and Fayther Abraham clasped hands. Each "winked the other eye" an' they all sed "Amen! Amen!" "We will stan' together to put down korrupt an' thaving soulless corporations an' kape them from staling the hole city." Then the sivin of us—the frinds of the Seattle Electric Com- no case and no excuse for inflicting the physical discomfort and pecuniary loss sustained by the thousands who were thus affected, and last, but not least, they have gained nothing for themselves in the estimation of their employers. To be sure, they gained the plaudits of a certain element in the community; but that is of very doubtful value. They also have a union, which of itself is all right, but they could have had that without striking. One thing, however, they have to be thankful for, whether they realize it or not, and that is that the company was so easy to deal with, and allowed them to go back to work on such liberal terms. Seattle's big street car strike is now history, and if one is anything of a the appointment of a federal office holder out of the hands of the politicians and made it to suit himself, then the Pie-maker will willingly help the opponents of John L. Wilson defeat any political aspirations he may have and desire to accomplish. --- There is now a good deal of talk over in the state of Washington, particularly in Tacoma, Senator Foster's home, that he will be shelved a year from next winter, at the end of his first term, and State Senator Ed Hamilton substituted. While Senator Foster is a very amiable man, the change suggested would be a good one. Mr. Hamilton would soon take a high rank in the senate as a man of great ability and who knows no such word as either fail or fear. Though living in Tacoma, he also has large property and business interests in Seattle, and so would come nearer being acceptable to both cities than any other man. Mr. Hamilton is a large employer of labor, and is popular with workingmen, but he is no demagogue, and led the fight in the late legislature against the governor's anti-railroad schemes. He also was the strongest and ablest champion in the legislature of a liberal appropriation for the Lewis and Clark fair, and so made friends not only in all the Columbia counties of Washington, but in Oregon also. Since Mr. Ankeny, who was elected senator last winter, resides in Eastern Washington, the next senator should be chosen from Pierce or King county. ersal Relig pany—stood up an' said, "Amen! Amen!" an' Oi said: "May Oi say a word or two, Faythe Abraham?" He sed: "Sure; go on Bro. Doogan." Then Oi sed: "Bro. Abraham, whin you touled me you wus havin' the Shuffleton franchise so prepared that no kompany could accept it but the Seattle Electric Company, didn't ye say the sivin uy us must have wan on two more honest councilmen to stan' wid us, because it wus like biddin' to git in the penitentiary?" "Oh, Moike," seb he, "phat does yez want to bring that up now for? Didn't we settle that in full?" Then he went on wid his spache. He said: "Phwen Oi see so much virtue an' honesty in one club Oi'm bustin' wid pride because Oi'm the president. Oi promise yez to try an' kape all of yez as honest an' pure an' virtuous as Oi am." Then Parry sung a sang called "Little Drops of OWN history scholar he knows without referring to his notes that the street car men made nuisances of themselves when they went out on that strike. When the strikers finally reduced their grievances to writing and the company likewise reduced theirs to writing, it was plain to be seen even without your glasses that there was no difference between the warring monopolies. The strikers discovered early in the game that they were doomed to ignominious defeat if they persisted in the fight and they soon began to hedge, that they could get out of the dilemma as gracefully as possible without acknowledging defeat outright.

Tolman, of Spokane, is being groomed by his friends for congress. Mr. Tolman is recognized as one of the Democratic leaders of the state. The repudiation by the Republicans in the late legislature of the platform on which they were elected ought to make the state Democratic next election, and in view of this fact, it has been announced that Mr. Tolman will accept the nomination which he refused last fall.—Kettie River Journal. The legislature failing to divide the state into congressional districts, Senator Tolman has no more show of being elected than would a Siwash were he nominated by the Democratic braves. * * * The Seattle Times hands it to some one pretty hard when it says that "Owners of property might as well understand now as ever that certain labor leaders in this town have made up their minds to put capital and employers under their feet." But who will say that it does not look that way. While there is apt to be misunderstandings and differences between labor and capital, there is no reason for the bitter enmity that exists, nor would there be if it were not for the professional agitator, the leach upon the body politic of the laboring classes; those that "toil not, neither do they spin," but are kept on the fat of the land at the expense of the toilers.

It seems to be a pleasure beyond measure for organized labor to try to demoralize business as though such a proceeding would help them in a single instance. Their efforts to tie up the business in Tacoma and Seattle has proved a disastrous failure and unless they use more judgment in the future than in the past it is just as well that they make such failures until they do. Negro root doctors, fortune tellers and clairvoyants, if the Associated Press reports be true, are reaping a veritable financial harvest from the poor benighted whites all over the country.

If, sah, you be men rise up, sahs, where you bese, sahs, and tell his 'ono, sahs, that you bese liars, sahs." There being not a single member feeling sufficiently conscience stricken to take advantage of John B. Hart's kindly of- fer, his client and fast friend, Walter S. Fulton, ex-prosecuting attorney of King county, is now lined up in criminal row, charged with malfeasance in office. \* \* \* "I, too, your honor, please," calmly remarked Sam Piles, as he deliberately rose from his seat, "am touched like unto Brer Hart, and I protest against such treatment for my client, who is as honest as the days are long in Alaska. It was he who has given us Greater Seattle and if he has committed a crime he told us before he was elected he was going to do so and such honesty of purpose ought to surely count for something in his favor. If he is indicted, who the devil will you have to turn over the keys of the city when President Roosevelt comes?" In spite of all this talk Ol' Ones Tom Humes has been lined up in criminal alley. *** Can it be possible, gentlemen of the grand jury, that you would indict a man like Judge Cann? Have you no respect for the dews of his seventy odd summers? Why, gentlemen of the jury, nothing like that is ever done in Boston to old men. Occasionally young men are indicted, but they are never convicted, and you should reconsider and say to the court, we deem it wrong to rush the Cann in this court. The jurymen were doubtless pretty dry and under the circumstances stood solid for seeing it done, and therefore his honor, stands charged with both perjury and extortion, two very serious charges. *** But yesterday and the mere mention of his name would have struck awe into the hearts of every politician in King County, yea to every politician in the state, but today not one of all these is so mean as to raise his voice in his defense, and George U. Piper is charged with being a perjurer, and must be prosecuted by the man whom he officially made. Fortune's tides do take some queer turns in life's ups and downs.

"Make money, my son; make money. If you can't make money honestly, why make money anyhow." Evidently the grand jury thought both Jacob Furth and W. F. Shuffleton were working under such a banner, which prompted that body to indict them lest they leave a bad impression on the rising generation of this community. Poor P. P. Padden! How different might it have been with him if he could have only stamped "Jumbo" and sent him snorting to the jungles, where he would have lost himself forever, and if he had he (Padden) would not now have to answer to the charge of larceny by embezzlement. Jumbo, after all, proved to be an unruly cuss, and its too bad bodily violence was not done him before Padden left the office of county treasurer. It matters not how one gets rich after they get it; then riches hides a multitude of faults. Rumor has it that in two short years Chief Sullivan has amassed a fortune from some mines he located about that time. The grand jury, his riches from the output of his mines to the contrary notwithstanding declared in open court. Chief Sullivan, ye must be born again. If convicted he will be only guilty of a misdemeanor, but from a good citizen standpoint no worse calamity could befall him. Many other indictments have been returned by the grand jury after three month's continued investigation, and if these can be taken as index, King county in general and Seattle in particular possess a wonderful litter of political poisoned purps, who should be thrown into the Gulf of Oblivion, where they would go down, down, to rise no more. * * * The final report of the grand jury exonerates the vicious reflections Guarantee Shares at RE sold, (Soto tion) share For Company. t Edge Gu ty Thousand Sha SHARE ares are sold, Doctor De Soto (owner's option) share any share umber, 1903.

Completes Denny Hotel Is Carpeted by Daulton Carpet Company --- T will be an auspicious occasion for Seattle when the Denny Hotel on the hill throws open its doors to the traveling public.

However, so many disappointments looking forward to that end have been suffered by the citizens on Moore Investr account of repeated failures that even now they are skeptical lest the big hostelry, by some hook or crook, fails to materialize.

A little wholesome discipline has been administered by the president, through his secretary, and Representative Humphrey has been invited to take charge of the arrangements for the president's trip on the Sound and the Seattle committee to meet him at the wharf in Tacoma. This leaves Senator Foster out and instead of the honor of heading the party on the Sound, as he might have done, he is told to "go away back and sit down." * * * Governor McBride has appointed Hon.

Governor Brady will undoubtedly call for a special election soon to elect a delegate to Congress. . . . The report of State Land Commissioner S. A.

This amount exceeds any quarter in the history of the office by $100,000, and is $156,000 greater than the corresponding quarter of 1902.

In both cases it is unprecedented barbarity on the part of the lynchers. * * * Jamaica might become an insular possession of the United States if the Negroes of that island did not oppose it on the grounds that a bunch of blacks are strung up every night in the United States at present, and in case of annexation that condition would soon spread to the island, which is no dream, and if they wish to remain peaceable and happy they had better continue opposing any annexation to the United States * * * Bishop Hampton declares he would have no objection to his daughter marrying an intelligent Negro. Perhaps he would not, but in as much as it takes three in such a case to make a bargain doubtless the Negro would have very serious objections to marrying the lady. In other words only one side of the case has been heard. Under authority of an order of sale, granted by the judge of the Superior Court of King County, State of Washington, dated April 2nd, 1903. I will at private sale the following described real estate, to-wit: South half (S. $ \frac{1}{2} $ ) of the north half (N. $ \frac{1}{2} $ ) of Lot two (2), Section fifteen (15), Township twenty-four (24) North of Range Four (4) E. M. The sale will be made on or after April 24th, 1903, and bids will be received at my office at 617 Pacific Block, Seattle, King County, State of Washington. The terms of sale are cash, ten per cent of the bid at the time the same is made and the balance of said bid upon the confirmation of sale by the said court. Z. B. RAWSON, Executor of the estate of Janet Brautigam. April 3rd—April 17. --- It was an unholy strike, but we are ridingly glad it has been settled. Some men were born great walkers; some have acquired the habit of taking great walks, and some have had great walks thrust upon them. The experienced man of the world has concluded that the two ways of doing things, the right way and the wrong way, is his way and the other fellow's way. Tom L. Johnson, Cleveland's picturesque mayor, has abandoned the race for Democratic nominee for the Presidency in 1904, but is out again for re-election as mayor of Cleveland. Many of us were astonished to see our friend's name in the list and perhaps pleasingly surprised to not see our own and gratified beyond measure to know the grand jury can do us no harm. Seattle is to have an electric clock manufactory. The plant, including machinery, will cost $12,000. It will be located on Lake Union. The electric clock is a new invention and is said to be adapted to various purposes. Mr. Grover Cleveland has been particularly busy of late saying that he is out of politics, for good. If it is really so it will no doubt be "for (the) good" of the country. No one would object if one W. J. Bryan would do the same thing. Charles W. Clark, son of Senator F. W. Clark of Montana, by implication charges a certain judge in that commonwealth with dishonesty. He says he offered the judge $250,000 to tell the truth, on a certain matter, and the judge would not. A waterfront rowdy persisted in making himself obnoxious, abusive and insulting in the presence of quiet strollers on the wharves last Sunday, and was toppled over with such gentle force that he had to be fished out of the bay. Good medicine. The strike has been a success in one thing, at least, and that is in convincing the general public that the King county court house is poorly located; but few can be found who will object to the proposition for a new building located near the business center. The National Dressmakers' Association says the natty shirt waist is no good; it does not fit and does not look nice. All the same the summer girl is going to wear them and the great majority of mankind will not agree with the dressmakers that they do not look nice. The Cuban reciprocity treaty has been ratified by the Cuban senate just as it was submitted by the United States. Before it can go into effect, however, congress must formally adopt the plans of reciprocity provided therein, and to do this within the time allowed, a special session will be called to convene some time in advance of the regular session in December. The past winter has been a hard one on deer and elk in the Northwest. In Southeast Alaska deer have been driven from the mountains by the deep snow, and on the sea coast feed is very scarce for them. In the Olympics the snow becomes crusted after thawing some and makes it impossible for elk to get about and secure food. It also leaves them an easy prey for wolves. Mr. Bryan objects to Senator Gorman as the new leader of the Democratic minority in the U. S. Senate. No one is surprised at that; he would object to any one who does not see through the same befogged, antiquated glasses that he does. If he would only get a "hunch" on himself and wake up to the fact that the world is on the move, he would cease to be the butt of ridicule, possibly. President Roosevelt has thus far not lacked in opportunities to write his name on the scroll of fame, and for more than one reason history will accord him a place away up among those at the head of the list. Not the least among his notable events is the work he has done in getting the Panama canal proposition, the dream of a century, endorsed and assured by this government. That alone would make him the revered and honored among the sons of men. Judge Tuthill decides that a Japanese is not a Mongolian, and is, therefore, eligible to American citizenship. Mongolian or what not, he should not be given citizenship, and no more should the citizens of Central and Southern Europe, who are flocking to our shores by the hundreds of thousands. This country is a good neutralizer and has absorbed and made citizens out of vast hordes of undesirable persons, but the time has come to call a halt, not only on Mongolians, but some other nationalities as well. It is a little amusing to note the various estimates made of Governor McBride by the press of the state. When his veto broad-ax fell upon some fellow's pet measure, nothing is too severe to be said in condemnation of him. On the other hand, when it fell on what was considered the other fellow's graft, he is commended as a wise statesman and a careful guardian of the people's interests. In other words, one's estimate of his fellow is governed largely by his personal interest in the matter to be acted upon. The Union Record of this city says: "Union men! Why in hell don't you go to —— & Co. and buy your clothes, where you can get them union made, instead of wearing scab clothing, as most of you do?" Are we to understand from this that the Record considers that when a man joins a labor union that he gives over his independence, his manhood and cannot exercise his free American privilege of buying his clothes where he chooses? That kind of unionism carried to its logical conclusion, would build up a labor trust, compared to which all others would be but pigmies. Humanity is a queer lot. There seems to be more discontentment to the square inch in a civilized human being than in a box full of Borneo monkeys. When times are bad, and work scarce, then the cry is for work, work at any price, any terms, but let times improve, work in plenty, wages good, then the trouble begins; strikes, strikes, strikes. The better the times the more abundant the opportunity for employment, and the higher the wage, the more frequent the strike. The inability to stand prosperity and the ability and inclination to quarrel with one's bread and butter seem to be a weakness in the human animal that would make an interesting study for the sociologist. The Colfax Commoner remarks: "President Roosevelt seems to be a firm believer in the theory that the brown men of the Philippines are not capable of self-government, but that the black men of the South are competent not only of governing themselves, but also the whites." It strikes us that the editor, of the Commoner goes a long distance out of his way to slander the President. Every intelligent, honest man believes that the Filipinos are as yet incompetent for self-government. They also know that because President Roosevelt is able to recognize merit, even though it is encased in ebony, and is not a craven coward, or a fawning sycophant that his actions does not presage Negro supremacy. An interesting question is brought up in the refusal of the Order of Foresters to reject a death claim of a Christian science member. Although sick for two weeks no doctor was called. The Foresters have rejected the claim under the section of their constitution which withdraws the benefits of insurance from any who neglects to procure or refuse to receive medical aid. Few will, perhaps, deny the power of the Almighty to perform miracles in healing, as in the olden times, but the idea that the Lord helps those who help themselves is a more rational doctrine. The Lord could supply a man with food now, as he did the children of Israel, but the man who depends on it is pretty apt to starve to death while waiting for the manna and quails. Second and Pike.

Address 226 Pacific Block, Seattle, King County, Washington. Feb. 21st, 1903—22 Apr. 1903. Scarcely had the grand jury closed its eyes in final sleep before the city authorities showed their utter disregard for the observance of both the laws of the state and city by immediately giving of their permission to the hell holes of the city to throw open their doors for business. For three long months, while the grand jury was in session, the chief of the police saw to it that not a "chip" nor a wheel was turned. His face took on a sanctimonious look and it was double its usual length, so repentant had he become under grand jury chastement; but no sooner had that body adjourned to meet no more than his face became wreathed in smiles and the vicious classes of the city needed not a word from Chief Sullivan and his superior officers to announce to them that they would again be protected by the guardians (?) of the law while they plied their damnable devices to rob and hold up those men and women who dared walk the streets either by day or night. Prior to the sitting of the grand jury highway robbery, sure thing robbery and even murder were of a nightly occurrence, all of which suddenly ceased, and continued in that state, so long as it met each day, but the final adjournment of that body was the signal for the immediate resurrection of the thugs and murderers, and they celebrated the event by the killing of three human beings in a saloon broil the very next night. When such characters are assured of police pro PERSONAL Dr. H. S. Bell, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is in the city and the guest of Mr. and Mrs. William Taylor. Mrs. W. J. Gudger, who has been sick at the Providence hospital for the past two months or more, died last Monday and was buried Wednesday. Mr. Oliver Anderson, after spending a few days in the city with his daughter, Mrs. Will Taylor, returned to Newcastle last Wednesday. Rev. J. Gordon McPherson will preach his first annual sermon next Sunday evening at the Mt. Zion Baptist church. At 11 o'clock the annual covenant meeting will be held. All are invited. Rev. Francis J. Davidson, of Tacoma, will preach at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church next Sunday afternoon. Dr. Davidson is recently from New Orleans, where he was a prominent member of the Baptist connection of that state. Rev. Freeman, of the A. M. E. Church, organized last Friday evening The Twentieth Century Building Club. His aim is a good one, which is to be given the collection of a fund with which to build a new church. He hopes to obtain one hundred members, and each member raise $12.00 per year. There is no reason why such a man as Rev. Freeman has so far proven himself to be should not meet with grand success. This is a worthy attempt to enact a living monument on the only public property owned by the Afro-Americans of Seattle, and it is hoped that these young men will show their appreciation of his efforts to add to this district the older settlers of Seattle have given them and their race. The friends of Mr. Eugene H. Butler and Miss Sammalla Cecil are extending congratulations on their having been made one last Wednesday evening. The young folk are well and favorably known in this city, where Mr. Butler has resided for a number of year. The young miss had only turned her fifteenth summer and could not marry without the consent of her parents, but the mother gave her consent to the match and the license was therefore issued and the ceremony performed. A number of the young ladies of Seattle have organized a Charity Club, with Miss Alma Clark president, and Miss Maggie O'Brien, secretary. Such an organization should receive much encouragement from the general public, as there is no kind of a public GAMBLING AND GAMBLERS tection, why wouldn't they pay and pay big for it. What care they for a few hundred dollars monthly to give over to their benefactors when they can secure twice the amount that they give up in one night's operation? Why wouldn't men who give ample official protection to the vicious grow wealthy in one let-alone two years? What a condition? The final report of the grand jury telling of the vice common to Seattle was blood curdling in the extreme, and it hardly seems possible that such a state of affairs could be practiced in a civilized Christion community. Certainly that superior civilization of which so much has been said and written about must, like the deceptive mirage of the desert, be still ahead, and this is but a delusion and a snare. Were the officers of the law in any community ever more determined to surrender their city to criminals than those of Seattle? Being indicted for high crimes and misdemeanors seems but an incentive to spur them on to still greater crimes in the same line. The indicted openly declare they will never be even tried, let alone convicted, and they treat the whole affair as a huge joke. . . . The act passed by the late legislature making gambling in certain forms a felony is being discussed so generally at present that it might not be out of place to quote the statute bearing on the subject in full, and for the benefit of those of our readers who are effected by this gambling act the institution more praiseworthy than "sweet charity." The beautiful spring, with its sprinklings of rain, its warm and glowing sunshine, its bright skies and its green fields of beautiful and flagrant flowers, cannot contribute to the pleasure and enjoyment of the sick and needy as truly can "sweet charity," and it is hoped that the efforts of the young ladies to do good will meet with flattering success.

"I'll tell you what we are going to do about it," said he, with solemn emphasis; "we are going to take that $8,000, or what is left of it, and go into the courts for a fight.

The sentiment against gambling will have about worn itself out and there will not be the hue and cry against it that there is now." *** "In case the gambling houses are compelled to close up Spokane will suffer from the blighting effects of the shut-down much more than is now anticipated," remarked a well known official to the Spectator. "This talk about the pay rolls of the gambling establishments is only a drop in the bucket. It is said that the gamblers distribute from $250,000 to $500,000 throughout the city every year. This is perhaps true, but that does not include the money that is brought here by the mining men who come to Spokane for no other reason than that they can gamble. The money that they bring is left in Spokane in lodging and boarding houses, in restaurants, clothing stores and laundries. They come here and spend the winter because they can find some amusement. They leave at least a million of dollars here every winter. We will not get this now. Where will it go?" It is currently reported the gamblers were thrown down by the legislative lobbyists and certain members of the legislature.

The gamblers, so goes the story, declared they would not be help up for any such amount of money, and so far as they were concerned the bill might be passed, and it was. This story can hardly be believed, especially as to the amount, for $50,000 would be to a mere bagatelle for the gamblers of this state to raise in order to continue open gambling. If reports be true, and they can hardly be doubted, $50,000 could be fleeced from the cattle, who frequent such places of vice, in one night, that is if a united effort of all the gamblers in the state would have been made, and, if it be true, that the gamblers refused to dig up $50,000 because, forsooth, they thought they were being held up, there's where they showed themselves to be damphools. But the bill run the gauntlet of both houses, was signed by the governor and in ninety days from the time of his signing it the law will become operative, but their only show to continue the vice, if the gambler's in the Spectator ideas prevail, is to use the amount collected, and even other moneys, if need be, to corrupt the courts if possible, and if not to corrupt the courts to dilly dally with the law until the next legislature meets, with the hope of repealing the law.

Kansas has made a profit of $23,470 on its penitentiary-made blender twine in the last three years. Japan has a Red Cross association with 828,000 members. At a recent meeting 100,000 members were present. There are in this country about 200,000 Slovaks and 300,000 Poies, all of whom have come within the last 25 years. One hundred and seven thousand tons of American peanuts were bought at Marseilles in 1902 for use in making "olive oil" soap. It is given as a fact that there are more "dry" counties in Kentucky and Texas than in any other states in the Union not actually prohibition. The back wages of the coal miners amount to $1,000,000, which will have to be paid by the operators according to agreement with the strike commission. The state of Missouri is out of debt and recently built a bonfire out of canceled bonds. The gold standard seems to have worked all right in a democratic state. Improved mining machinery has made it possible to work rock yielding as low as only $3 per ton, whereas a few years ago rock that would not yield $50 per ton was considered no good. 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. 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. Convict labor seems to be growing profitable in all other southern states, as well as Florida. In Tennessee the net profits for the past two years were $284,281.36, or an increase of $24,238.35 over the two previous years ended November 30, 1900. The census of 1900 showed that twenty per cent of the population of the nation was enrolled in the public schools. These were taught by 450,000 teachers, and the expenditure for school expenses for that year was $226,043,236. Experiments in growing tea in North and South Carolina have been carried on for a number of years and is proving successful. It was first tried by the government and was not a success; private parties have since taken it up and have quite a quantity on the market. The prospects for an American product of the popular beverage is very flattering. A census bureau bulletin shows that almost 96 per cent of the population of the United States lives in the country drained to the Atlantic ocean, over 53 per cent in that drained to the Gulf of Mexico, 44 per cent in the drainage of the Mississippi river, almost 10 per cent in the area drained to the great lakes, 4 per cent on the Pacific coast and one-half of one per cent in the great basin. A new paper material has been discovered in the corn fields of the middle West. Corn stalks, it has been found, will make an excellent paper, a substitute for rags, which has been long sought after. The hard shell of the stock for one grade, the pith for another and the husks for another. This by-product of the corn fields that has been, in the past, of but little value, is now likely to add to the income of the family not a little. Another ray of light comes from the east in the fact that the Ameer of Afghanistan has divorced all of his wives but four, granting the divorced wives the right to re-marry, and promises life long support to all who do not re-marry. A decree has also gone out that none of his subjects shall have more than four wives. While this action does not condemn polygamy, which is not only obnoxious to civilized ideas, but all ethical law, yet it is a step in that direction. For hundreds of years searchers for wealth have been trying to find the place where King Solomon got the vast amount of gold that he is said to have possessed. Ancient history records the fact that there were large deposits, known then and since as King Solomon's mines, but where, has been the modern problem. It is now conceded that they are located in Africa in the Zambesi region in modern Rhodesia. The ruins of thousands of old mines have been discovered, and work of developing them by modern methods is in progress. Attention! Attorneys, Attention! The production of precious stones in the United States during 1902 is valued as follows: Sapphire, $115,000; beryl, $4,000; emerald, $1,000; tourmaline, $15,000; peridot, $500; quartz, $12,000; smoky quartz, $2,000; rose quartz, $200; amethyst, $2,000; gold quartz, $3,000; rutilated quartz, $100; agate, $1,000; moss agate, $500; chrysoprase, $10,000; silicified wood, $7,000; rhodolite, $1,500; garnet (pyrope), $1,000; amazon stone, $500; turquoise, $130,000; chlorastrolite, $4,000; mesolite, $1,000; pyrite, $3,000; anthracite ornaments, $2,000; catlinite pipestone, $2,000. This gives a total of $318,300 for 1902, as compared with $289,050 in 1901 and $233,170 in 1900. The Oxford University press have been publishing bibles for three hundred years and can publish them in one hundred and fifty different languages. Six hundred tons of paper are used for this purpose each year. On an average thirty to forty bibles are finished each minute and double that number can readily be supplied. There are one hundred and ten different editions of the Oxford bibles, from the large pulpit size, 12x19 inches, to the "brilliant," $2\frac{1}{2} \times 3\frac{3}{4}$ inches and $3\frac{3}{4}$ inches thick, the smallest bible printed in the world.

Mrs. Brune, supported by one of the most notable companies that has been seen in the Northwest for some time, will be the attraction at the Grand the last three nights of next week in "Unorna," the new romantic love play written especially for her by F. Marion Crawford, the famous novelist. Mrs. Brune's play is described as being one of the most delightful love stories told on the stage for years, full of strong situations and admirably staged. The scenery is from the studio of Richard Marsten, who painted the immense production of Henry V for Mansfield. The sale of seats for this production will open next Tuesday. *** Send your notices to Seattle's Leading Weekly "Uncle Tom's Cabin." "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will have three performances at the Grand, starting Saturday afternoon. The first half of the week will be devoted to the English pastoral drama "Doris," a play that was for a long time the great success of Effle Ellser. Miss Shirley will be seen as a school teacher, who in early life married a man beneath her station in life. She secures a divorce and goes to another part of the country to begin life anew, only to be followed by her ex-husband, whose one aim in life is revenge. While persuading her former husband to leave her in peace, she is seen by the village gossipers, who try in every way to tarnish her good name and standing with the citizens of the place. The death and full confession of her ex-husband settles all duplicity and all ends happily. The play abounds in comedy and strong situations, some of the characters being true impersonations of those made famous by Dickens and Thackery in English life. "Doris" will be the fill Sunday, Monday and Tuesday and "The Deacon's Daughter" will fill out the balance of the week. Office: A. W. Denny Building Tel.

Notwithstanding the frequent rebuffs given to the Negro race and the repeated insults, it is compelled to contend with from the members of the Anglo-Saxon race, and that, too, without cause or provocation, nevertheless the Negro is always ready to lend a helping hand to persons needing assistance and will do so for a white one just as quickly as a black one. Nothing is more convincing of his benevolent and Christian spirit in this way than when the colored waiters of the Cecil hotel of this city, after the little telephone girl there, who supported her mother and a number of little sisters and brothers out of her daily earnings, took sick and died, not leaving sufficient money to either decently bury herself and nothing for the support of the family, at the suggestion of the head waiter and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Reams, made up a handsome purse, and, through Mrs. John E. Humphries, presented it to the mother. A $50 purse for a few hotel boys to raise is not to be grinned at, and especially when it is for one of a race that seldom ever loses an opportunity to offer them an insult or heap an indignity upon their heads. Man may not reward such charity and benevolence, but a just God will, and he who has hopes of reaping a reward in "that house not made by hands eternal in the Heavens" after all is by far the richest of all creation. * * * Conflicting statements are bewildering and one is tempted to drop into a brown study when reading after Senator Mooney and the editor of the Sioux City Tribune. Senator Mooney in a heated discussion on the Negro question, said: "This is not the black man's country. We want it understood that we did not take this country from the Indians to give a home to the black man." The natural supposition would then be that Africa is his home. But up jumps the Sioux City Tribune and says that inasmuch as the white man is more competent to carry on the work of civilized in- The S STANDARD FURNITURE CO. STOVE DEPT. The Place Where dustry than the Negro, Africa must, according to the law of progress, become the "white man's country." * * * There is another side, however. Place the black man with the proper surroundings where the occasion inspires, and the very atmosphere is pregnant with, patriotism, strike up "Hail! Columbia," throw Old Glory on the breeze and there is that which rises in the heart of the black man louder than could ever be the voice of Senator Mooney; yea! stronger than a legion of Tribunes, and the American black man needs no one to tell him where his country is. Cook county in the state of Illinois has what might be called, for a jail, a model reading room. The books are well selected and there is a liberal supply of magazines. Out of 550 prisoners more than 450 are steady readers of the higher class of literature. "The man in jail," says the librarian, "who does not read is the exception." He adds: "The colored prisoners are, in fact, the greatest readers of all. History is the most fascinating of all the studies they follow, and some of the colored men have read all the philosophical and economic treatises in the library on the subject." . . . From as far back as one can remember the minstrels have cracked jokes on and held up to good natured ridicule the thickness of the African's skull. "Don't hit him on the head if you wish to hurt him," they have flaunted in the public's ear, but now comes one Lou Storme, of another race, who plunges from a balcony to the earth sixty feet below, strikes flat on her head, deeply indents the earth, arises to her feet and asks to be let alone. If "blood will tell," some one has been laboring under a mistake as to Miss Storme's nationality. * * * Among the passengers on the steamer Korea, lately from the Orient, was Sir Chen Tung, the new Chinese minister to the United States. In an in- terview he said in part: "I can follow no better example than that of Minister Wu. He tried to educate the people out of their prejudice against my countrymen as a race. I will do what I can, but do not expect to do too much. It is a question of hoping." That's right, Minister Cheng—"Hope on, hope ever." Hope pills is the medicine which the American Negro has been swallowing in enormous doses for the last thirty odd years. Their purging powers are not readily recognized and an appalling number of them will have to be taken, but each dose has a cheering tendency, a stimulating effect, as it were, on the entire system. . . . "Progress toward better things can not be forced, but there can be a constant incitement of public sentiment in the right direction," says one George R. Stetson in reference to the Negro question. Quite true, and much in keeping with the life time teaching that we mount the ladder, by which we climb, round by round. And yet, it is, to say the least, discouraging when the women of America repeatedly turn down a part of their number in its effort to rise. What men do is done by men, but womankind, in all classes and conditions, is called upon to undergo ordeals, to suffer heartaches and to perform cheering duties of good will—in short, the great "mother-heart," carrying with it all that the word does or can imply, should make the whole world of women kin. And yet the national council of women but recently adjourned in New Orleans, was thrown into great confusion until assured that Mrs. Yates of Missouri, the only Afro-American woman entitled to attend the council, would not be present. "The most important event of the final session," however, they rather inconsistently reported, "was the receiving of the report of the National Colored Women's Association." When the Kentucky Club women met and decided whether or not the Where Your Patronage is Appreciated Kentucky Federation should stand opposed to the admission of colored clubs to the general federation, Miss Mary D. Anderson of Louisville said that protesting against the admission of clubs of colored women was equivalent to placing the federation on record as opposed to equality of opportunity, Mrs. William Perkins, of Covington, was of the same opinion, and added that Kentucky would be putting herself side by side with Georgia, the most extreme state of the federation, if she voted against the admission of Negro clubs. That may not have been so very much to say, but it was decided the unpopular thing to say. To run the gauntlet of brooking public opinion seems in these days and times to require an unusual amount of individuality, nothing short of an independent personality with a standard for "right" regardless of the whys and wherefores. \* \* \* The Catholic church in America has set the pace, which if followed by all Christian organizations and all other people, professed Christians or otherwise, would soon settle the vexed race question. It simply recognizes the "brotherhood of man." The writer hereof is not a Catholic, is not a believer in many of the tenets or traditions of the Catholic church, as taught, neither are we so bigotted or narrow minded that we refuse to give credit where credit is due. There is not a church organization represented in this country, except the Catholic church, but what has discriminated in some way, or at some time, against the Negro race. The attitude of that church is best set forth in the words of Archbishop Ireland in response to words of gratitude and appreciation of his stand in behalf of the Negro by representatives of the Negro Pen and Pencil Club, who recently called upon him for that purpose. He said in substance that all the constitution required of a man is that he be "a man." To him the stars and stripes has no meaning other than the brotherhood of man. The idea of a distinction being made in civil and political matters because of race or language or color, he declared, is unAmerican. What honest, unprejudiced man will gainsay his statement. The Negro is today an American citizen by no choice of his own; brought here originally for servitude, kept in such servitude in defiance of the constitution, until outraged humanity could stand it no longer. The duties and privileges of citizenship were placed upon him unsolicited, and uncared for, and forced to provide for his own support unprepared for the task, he is here today as much an American citizen as any other man in the land, unless we except the American Indian, to whom we deny the right of citizenship. Why the Almighty made men of different races and colors, it is not ours to say, suffice it, we find it so; and man, regardless of color, having been made in the image of the Creator, there is no right conferred upon one class, race or color to presume to be better than another, except as native ability, education or opportunity makes him so. That superiority of ability does not exist in the white race, except as education or opportunity produces it, is well outlined in further remarks of Archbishop Ireland, wherein he expressed the opinion that there was not in the history of the world an example of similar progress being made by any people of any color or of any race equal to that made by the colored people in the forty years since President Lincoln declared them free and independent. He predicted that what had been accomplished in the last forty years would be quadrupled in the next forty years. Herein we get a hint as to the solution of the race problem. Will it be acted upon? The answer lies at the door of every man's heart.
