SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Afro-American Observations Historical Society VOL. I.X. NO. 44 POLITICAL. Senator Foster's insistency that the next Republican Vice Presidential nominee come from the Pacific Coast has been the topic of conversation among the politicians during the past week. The much asked question among the politicians is, Has the senator, like the Dude of chrysanthemum fame, really got the bee in his bonnet, or has he got some one in mind whom he intends to try to soft soap in order to get them out of the senatorial race to strengthen his own political fences. It is hardly possible that he himself has the bee since he has been in Washington City for" the past four years, and though he has religiously kept his mouth closed, nevertheless they have found out that he never opened his mouth but what he put his foot in it, and the Eastern politicians, he knows, would, under no circumstances, accept such a man for a running mate with Roosevelt. And even in Washington state Senator Foster would not make much headway in securing a popular endorsement for so responsible a position, as he is considered only a senatorial accident, and during the four years he has been at the wheel he has not made very much of the unfortunate mistake. * * * If Senator Foster is not boosting for himself in advocating a Vice Presidential nominee from the Pacific Coast, who the devil is he boosting for, is asked. In Tacoma Senator Foster has a dangerous antagonist for the senatorial endorsement so far as Pierce county is concerned, in State Senator Ed. S. Hamilton. Now, if Foster could swell Hamilton's head and get him turned in the Vice President direction it would mean a whole lot to Foster. Then again, if Foster No newspaper in the northwest is so noted for heavy-weight editorials as the Post Intelligencer, but no one would have thought that they were heavy enough to break down the sidewalk in front of a contemplated structure in which it is to soon be quartered. That seems to be a fact, as the sidewalk in front of the excavation on First avenue and University street, where an edifice is to be erected which is to be the home of the P.-L. has completely given away and will entail a loss of a couple of thousand dollars to the constructors. All of this might have been completely obviated had the P.-I. management exercised a bit of precaution during the time the excavation for the foundation of its new home was going on and given its heavy-weight ediorial writer a few weeks' vacation. Even a mountain of granite, much less some inferior pressed brick, would give way if you continue to pile great loads of weighty matter on it. In future let the P.-I. beware and lighten its editorial loads; if not permanently at least until the foundation of its building is finished. P.I. HEAVYWEIGHT. The least that can be said about the Crum appointment and the bitter struggle over it that has begun is that the whole affair is unfortunate. The Post-Intelligencer occupies the same middle ground between the extreme New England view and the extreme Southern view of the Negro question. But it is sure that nothing is to be gained for either the Negro or the white man by forcing the former into official place in communities that have become thoroughly aroused and antagonistic. It would have been easy, if it were thought necessary, to provide Dr. Crum with what a practical politician has called "something equally as good." It is a mistake for the president to foster discussion of the race issue at the South, even though SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1903 could induce John L. Wilson of Seattle to go chasing off after that will o'-the-wisp, that would mean still more to him. Again, nothing but very unfavorable comment has appeared in the papers concerning Senator Foster and the course he has pursued in the United States senate, and in advocating such a selection he perhaps believed that he would for a while checkmate the much unfavorable comment on himself and at least get one favorable mention from the press, and if it happened to catch the people right it might mean a feather in his cap and give him a boost for re-election. Neither of the men, however, that the senator wishes to draw off from the coming senatorial race will be caught napping, and the expected boom that the senator hoped to realize from the political ruse will die a-bornin' and Addison G. Foster is still a dead one. * * * Speaking about Foster's antagonist in Pierce county, it seems that he is between the devil and the deep sea, politically speaking. From the very outset of Cushman's political career Foster has opposed him. Recently, however, a new Richmond has appeared in the senatorial arena, and Foster has another antagonist who is out for the very positions that he is warming. He has administered so many uncalled for backhanded slaps to Cushman that it will be very humiliating to him to go to him for help, and it looks as though Ed. Hamilton the act which contributes to it might be, in itself, or under other circumstances, wholly above criticism. PLAYING PIG AND PUP. Space is given the above for comment only. Bob Lincoln, son of the famous emancipator, said, "Damn a mugwump," and amens to it are still in order. The "middle ground" occupied by the P.I. is nothing more nor less than a mugwump's position, which "to be hated needs but to be seen," and, in the eyes of the truly manly man, is most damnably despicable. Dr. Crum would be just as thoroughly objectionable in Seattle, or in any other city north of the Mason and Dixon line, as he is in Charleston, and even more so. In Charleston half of the population is of the same race and color, theoretically speaking, as Dr. Crum, and one of the cardinal principles of this country being the submission to the will of the majority, then why is it not meet and proper for the president to some extent officially recognize a majority of the voters of South Carolina. Had the immortal Lincoln took a similar view of the great controversy between the North and the South as does the P.I. on the Dr. Crum controversy, the accursed institution of slavery would today be flourishing in the United States. No official position that might be sought by either Dr. Crum or anyone else of his race, unless it was minister to Dahomany, would be any more favorably looked upon by the Anglo-Saxons than the collectorship of Charleston now filled by Dr. Crum, though against bitter protest from the Anglo-Saxons of that locality, and even by some, for example the P.I., in other sections. It should not be forgotten that the P.-I. refused to make mention of the fact that the late Republican King county convention had a secretary, and it did so for no other reason than because the secretary of that convention was of the same race has got him going even at this stage of the game. Foster therefore has taken this stand; if Hamilton announces his intention to stand for the United States senate, Foster will try to join issues with Cushman and prevent Pierce county from endorsing Hamilton, but instead endorse he and Cushman for re-election. If, on the other hand, Hamilton can be induced to either chase off after the Vice President mirage or will stand for congress to the detriment of Cushman, Foster will rejoice at such an opportunity of doing up Cushman and fight with Hamilton. Yes, you are quite right, he is acting in a very inconsistent manner, but, in heaven's name, did you ever hear of Addison G. Foster acting otherwise? He is a selfish, greedy pound of flesh human being and will do anything to get back to the United States senate, where he can draw down the salary attached and the perquisites that follow and live in $20 per month lodging house rooms. *** Among the notable men of state reputation who visited the Queen City during the past week was ex-State Senator Oliver Hall of Colfax, Whitman county. For eight years Mr. Hall represented that county in the legislatures of this state, and, be it said to his credit, made a most admirable as well as useful member of the legislature. In the past Mr. Hall has always stood with the best interest as is Dr. Crum. Remembering that fact, it is easy to understand why the P.J. occupies neutral grounds on the momentous race question of this country and why it doubts the advisability of President Roosevelt's "All men up" policy which is to play such a conspicuous part in the coming presidential campaign, and compromises itself by trying to play pig and pup at one and the same time. There is no middle ground, and you must be either for or against Dr. Crum and the rights of the race he represents. DICK SMITH SQUEALED. This paper is of the opinion that all forms of gambling and gambling houses should be closed up by either the police or the sheriff, both from statutory as well as from a moral standpoint, but when men, supposedly of sound judgment, seek gambling holes for the purpose of skinning some one else, but themselves get skinned, as Richard Smith claims he did at the Colored Porters' Club, as a moralist he is deserving of very little sympathy from the general public, and if the prosecuting attorney would kick such men out of his office when they come there to sneer to complaints against the proprietors of such places he would get more whole soul approval from the moral element of the community than for him to issue warrants for their arrests, though they are convicted. Men like Smith are too mean and despicable to even be accorded a respectable hearing when they appeal to the law under the conditions which he did, and had he lost his head instead of his money in the club, the world, perhaps, would have been better of. God speed the day when gambling will be a thing of the past in this city, and likewise God speed the day when such sour doughs as Smith are also driven from the city. The resort, so long as he was winning, was "all the world to him," but no sooner than he lost a few cents of the state from a commercial standpoint, but in the last fight he cast his lot with the McBride faction, which faction is absolutely certain of losing out, and the Pie-maker is fearful lest Senator Hall has not made a fatal political blunder and will either have to start all over again or follow his prototype into the George Turner Democratic party. In discussing the political situation, Mr. Hall entertained very grave doubts as to whether it was possible for the Republican party to carry Eastern Washington af all at the next general election, and, granting it carries Western Washington, it is very questionable whether it can carry it strong enough to overcome the loss the party will sustain in Eastern Washington. Governor McBride may, and it is verily believed, will bolt the Republican party in 1904, but the friends of Oliver Hall declare that he will never follow him. \* \* \* Speaking about Governor McBride and the bitter fight he has made against the railroads of this state, prompted a well known politician to remark one day this week that "McBride has made the mistake of his political life and he will leave the office, which he now occupies, the most despised politician the state has ever had. He campaigned the entire state last fall, and the tirade he made against commercial enterprises showed him to be no more nor less than a man of the howling street corner than he wanted it closed up and the proprietors sent to state prison, where he himself ought to be for the offense of gambling contrary to the law and the peace and dignity of the state. COLORED CONVENTION. The Second Annual Convention of the "Colored National Emigration and Commercial Association" is directed to meet June 24th, 1903, in Montgomery, Ala., and remain in session for three consecutive days. This Association, consisting of members in all parts of the United States, among other things has for its chief object the purchase of a steamship for emigration and commercial purposes. They have already in hand nearly thirty thousand dollars, and propose to raise the balance by selling ship stock, and place the vessel upon the ocean for travel and commerce. The members and friends of the organization regard this the greatest project of the Negro since emancipation, and that it is destined to accomplish more for his character and pocket than anything he has done. Persons not in harmony with the spirit and object of the Convention will not be present, while friends of the movement will be welcomed, and in some instances invited to take part. A distinguished United States Senator, whose name we withhold by his own request, will speak before the Convention, and others of national distinction will do the same. This call is made by order of the Executive Committee: DR. W. H. HEARD, President, Georgia. L. HOWARD JONES. Vice-President, Ohio. N. B. STERRITT, D.D. South Carolina. W. H. YOUNG, LL. D.. Tennessee.

I do not mean to say that he is a rabid Pop, because he wants a railroad commission for this state, for I, too, am in favor of a railroad commission and an appointive one at that, but he damned corporations of every class and kind as inimical to the upbuilding of the state, which he knows to be just the contrary. In so doing he arrayed all of Western Washington against him, and now his wholesale vetoing of important measures and appropriations passed by the last legislature has likewise arrayed all of Eastern Washington against him, and, therefore, I repeat, he will leave the state house in 1905 the most despised man that ever filled the gubernatorial chair of this state. His only show to make a hit is in the Democratic party, which stands ready to pick up any old thing the Republicans may weed out of their party as rubbish. The Tacoma municipal elections which was pulled off last Tuesday resulting in a victory for the Republicans, has no political significance so far as the politics of this state is concerned. Notwithstanding the fact that a number of Republicans are entertaining grave doubts as to the success of the Republican ticket in this state in 1904, nevertheless those Republicans who are well up in political lore declare that there is no signs of danger ahead. On the contrary the Republicans will sweep the state by an increased majority over two years prior, and the legislature will be safely Republican. T. D.

That lone Negro student in Northern universities and educational institutions of learning has again bobbed up serenely and is the center of attraction. The latest prize winner in this direction is William N. Pickens, of Yale, who recently won the Henry James Eneyck prize for the best orator of his class. Pickens is a member of the junior class of Yale, and is the first time in the history of the university that a Negro has won a leading university prize. He is but twenty-two years of age and is a graduate of the Talladega school of Alabama, and a native of Little Rock, Arkansas. The essay has attracted so much public attention that ex-President Grover Cleveland has written to him asking for a copy of it. . . . Stewart is Not Mayor. The Negro voters of Chicago didn't do a thing to the Republican nominee for mayor last Tuesday, and as a result Carter Harrison was elected for the fourth time mayor of Chicago, despite the fact that many of the leading Democrats of the city openly worked against him. Graeme Stewart, the Republican nominee, had previously slandered the Negro voters by declaring in public that "nigger votes in Chicago only cost fifty cents apiece," and the Negro voters gave him an opportunity to test the truthfulness of his statement, with the result that he Continued on page 8. --- An Investment With a Gilt Edge Guarantee The Company Places on the Market Fifty Thousand Shares at When the Fifty Thousand Shares are sold, there will be no more to offer, and Doctor De Soto guarantees to purchase back (at owner's option) at One Dollar and Fifty Cents per share any share that may be for sale by December, 1903.

We refer to the "Wayside Mission" hospital. This remodeled steamboat is blocked up high and dry at the wharf at foot of King street, and is doing a work of mercy in the amelioration of suffering, limited only by its capacity to furnish accommodations. While all the hospitals in the city are doing good work, yet it seems that the Wayside Mission more than all others deserves special credit; as it is more than the others a work of charity. Started some years ago, it has, without any blowing of trumpets, been ministering to the needs of the unfortunate; supported and maintained largely through the liberality of its founder, Dr. Alex de Soto, who has, to date, expended something like $60,000 in its maintenance. A few months ago an arrangement was entered into with the city council whereby the city pays the municipal sum of seventy-five cents a day for three days for all sick or injured persons requiring care under the city's jurisdiction. The boat is very comfortably fitted up into wards and several private rooms for patients, aside from comfortable state rooms for nurses and attendants. The hospital is able to care for fifty patients at a time, and is taxed to its utmost capacity almost continually. Most of those taken there are unfortunate without money and must needs be cared for without remuneration, except the beggarly little amount given by the city as above stated. An effort is being made to get the county commissioners to step in and take up expense of caring for indigent persons where the city council lays it down. That would be much better than to neglect them, and allow the expense to be borne by private individuals, but is not as it should be. Dr. E. G. Johnson, the resident physician at the hospital, says that nineteenth of the patients that come to them came as a direct result of the liquor traffic and its attendant evils. For the privilege of conducting these health destroying and life wrecking avocations the city is paid large sums of money in licenses, fines, etc., and TALES OF THE TOWN DOCTOR DE SOTO, Manager is therefore particeps criminis to the causes that place these unfortunate persons in the hospital for repairs, after their debauches have made repairs necessary; thus by all legal and moral right the city should foot the bills. Either that, or abolish the practice of drawing revenue from a line of business, if business it can be called, utterly void of any benefit to the community, except the blood money paid into the city coffers, and the wages of which is plainly evident in the wrecks of humanity that fill the majority of the Wayside Mission wards. If the city receives money from these gin mills, brothels, gambling dens, etc., it is clearly its duty to care for those unfortunate enough to be despoiled by them and brought to a condition needing medical care. Dr. Alex de Soto is the recognized head of the hospital enterprise. Mrs. H. S. Heath is business manager, Dr. E. G. Johnson, resident physician and Miss Martin, an experienced nurse, is matron. Besides these, there are about a dozen other nurses and assistants. Food and medicines are prepared for the patients at the hospital, and the doctor, matron and nurses all make their home in the hospital, which is kept neat and clean throughout. The whole corps seem to be efficient, kind-hearted, willing workers, and are doing a work for humanity that will bring its own reward, quite largely, from a humanitarian point of view; but merits the generous support of the municipality in a material way. Later: Since the above was put in type the county commissioners have agreed to care for patients, after the three days for which the city pays. * * * The grand jury seemed to be a pretty good thing, while it lasted, as a means of maintaining a semblance of law and order, but that its restraining effect was only temporary was evidenced by the fact that immediately after it closed, restraint was thrown off and vice of all kinds sprang into activity as if to make up for lost time. With indictments hanging over the mayor and chief of police, and the denunciation of the methods of the police force and the city council in dealing with the criminal element, as set forth in the reports of the grand jury, it was supposed some check would still be imposed; but no! If one may judge the action, or inaction, of the police force, he must conclude that it is the intention to carry out the promises of Mayor Humes to have an "open town," to the very letter. Majorities rule in this country, and we ought not to complain, for a majority said they wanted just what we are getting. The remedy is, at next election to elect men who have some respect for law and their oath of office. \* \* \* Three lives and a possible heavy expense to the county, as a result of allowing the city to be "wide open" the next night after the restraining influence of the grand jury was removed. The two victims of Dan McAuley's reckless shooting early last Thursday morning have paid the penalty for being in bad company; and there is no certainty that McAuley will not himself die from the wounds received from Policeman Griffith's gun. If he recovers the county will have to go to the expense of a trial and a neck-tie party. So it is three lives at best. The question naturally arises, who is responsible? Surely it was not the grand jury had reached the limit of life and must adjourn. If the police department had exercised the same vigilance after said jury adjourned as they did while it was in session, it could not then be charged to them. As it is they relaxed their vigilance, allowed things below the line to "open up," the shooting oc- With a Gilt on the Market Fifty PER S Fifty Thousand Shares more to offer, and I purchase back (at o and Fifty Cents per s or sale by Decem inquire of Placer Min R DE SOTO, M BANKERS, PUGET SOUND NATIONAL BANK "To make haste slowly" is a good maxim, but there is another quite unlike it, but still a pretty good one to follow at certain times. It is "strike while the iron is hot." The county commissioners have decided that there is no immediate need for a new court house, hence have concluded to delay the matter of securing the Yesler block, which all admit is just what is needed. In this matter it looks like the "strike while the iron is hot" is the better course to pursue. Not to forestall a possible change of sentiment as to location, but to secure a good thing while it can be done. There is no assurance that it can be had at all six months or a year from now, and almost a certainty that though it may be available later, that the price will be advanced. The argument that it will be better to wait until the city council have decided where it will build a city hall is also without weight. If there is any possibility that the council might favor a North Seattle site, the commissioners will be doing the city a benefit by securing the Yesler tract and thus help to hold the council from making such a mistake. That was a rude joke Dr. Loughery sprung upon the board of health the other evening by announcing that members of labor unions had refused to allow vaccination of themselves on families, giving as a reason that they did not propose to have "scabs" in the family. * * * The degrading of no street in the city has attracted so much attention as the contemplated degrading of Third avenue from Yesler way to Pike street. Many of the frontage property holders are bitterly fighting the proposition because they think it an unnecessary expenditure of public funds and without adequate recompense for so doing, and secondly, be- Guarantee Shares at RE sold, (Soto tion) share For Company t Edge Gu ity Thousand Sha SHARE ares are sold, Doctor De Soto owner's option) share any share ber, 1903.

On the other hand the advocates of go-ahead-Seattle want the street regraded, and thereby put the city on a metropolitan basis. The question is one that is worthy of much consideration on the part of all concerned, and whatever it done should not be done until all phases of the question have been gone over thoroughly.

POLITICAL POT PIE shaking hands with friends and politicians in general. Mr. Rockwell has a very warm political friend in Seattle at present in the person of Hon. John L. Wilson, and it is more than likely that he felt that a day spent with him was worth a thousand trying to kick against the Spokane reformers. He seemed indifferent which side or faction won out in the municipal election, which is to be pulled off there in a few days more, but he has his eye on the next legislative turn, and, if possible, he will remember his friend in shaping up things there for the ninth legislature. State Senator C. F. Clapp frequently comes from Port Townsend these days looking after his vast property interest in this city, but under no circumstances will he let politics touch him. If he is asked whether or not he will stand for the gubernatorial nomination in 1904, he simply smiles and then smiles again, gives you a nudge in the side and, after he gets through smiling, he most emphatically declares that he would not accept the nomination for governor if it was handed him on a golden platter, much less a silver one, and then he smiles and smiles again, nudges you in the side once more, and is off before you can put another question to him, thus leaving the questioner somewhat in doubt as to what he really is going to do, which state, perhaps, is just the one the senator from Jefferson and Clallam wants you to be in until he is quite confident how the cat is going to jump in the northwest. f i P | Lack of space makes it necessary for us to do one of two things—pay for storage or sell quickly.

It is an abie tribunal, but it is not a pleasant task they have to per orm, Just as the incredulous are admitting the possibility of aerial wireless teles: raphy comes the report that certain parties are experimenting with under- ground wireless telegraphy, with good prospects of success, These are truly wonderful times, and many truths and possibilities are being unlocked to the studious mind. Gradually our insular possessions are being Americanized. The old coins of Hawaii, are being recoined at the mint in San Francisco and will be returned to the islands in regular standard U. S$. coin; thus putting the islands on the same basis, financially as are the states. A certain trade journal ‘heads an article “How to Keep Cigars.” We would modestly suggest that a good way to keep cigars is not to smoke them. They will keep a long time if stored away and not allowed to come in contact with a match at one end and a fool at the other. In view of the fact that pessimists are prophesying extreme hard times for this country, just around the corner a little way, it seems strange that so many persons are refusing the opportunity to “make” hay while the sun shines.” It is said that on April 1 there were 50,000 men out on strikes, If hard times are coming so soon, it would seem they would want to be at ‘work, earning all they can, against that day. In these times when so many peo- ple seem to be acting on the prin. ciple that in this world it is “every fellow for himself and the devil take the hindmost,” is refreshing to run on to a sentiment of kindness and brotherly sympathy as expressed in the following: “[ ghall pass through this world but once, Any good thing, therefore, that T can do, or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” Se ee ee 2 : «AA Question, not a; ‘ Z f > Comparison 9 ‘ WHICH ¢ ‘ 5 § 5 ‘ K 3 y «| 9 ‘ . ¥ i \ ’ coN - : ‘ : $ The { the ’ & Steady | Fluctuating 3 & clear } Odormaking 7 & Brilliant heel supbaly ’ 3 Odorless rue | aes 9 € convenient | | Tignting In § @ Electric | | convenient £ @ Light } | Muminant g $ Call on us for the right § § kind of light § & . « 2 The Seattle Electric Co. 3 » 907 FIRST AVENUE z Oa i ek ee If Ex-President Cleveland ever had a show for again being nominated for the presidency he has lost it all by writing a letter of congratulation to William Pickens, the Negro prize ova- tor, of Yale college. If a man expects to receive Democratic favors he must be ene of those who fail to see, much less recognize, merit in the Negro race, Onr Democratic friends have tried all the faney isms that could be sug- sested by painful, imaginative, Pop list brains, and found them wanting, as empty as soap bubbles; and are now about to pin their faith, once more. to the old free trade dogma, in n revired form, Not so much a tariff for-revenue oniy as a tari referm, ov revision platform; in other words, to get just as near the republican idea of protection—which they have to ad mit is the thing—as they can, with the hope of deluding some and thus get the offices again. Vain hope! It is given out that the gamblers ot this state do not propose to die with- pout a struggle. They are employing the best legal talent, and will get @ otieon arrested for vio'ating the law and if found guilty in the lower ‘courts, will put up éash bail, pending ‘an appeal, then the prisoner can skip the country, forfeiting his bail of course, but their purpose will have been served, as a supreme court rul- ing will be had on the law, and if against them, no one goes to jail. Forewarned is forearmed, and if the game is tried, cash bail should not be allowed, keep their stool-pigeon where the court can get its hands on him. The city counch: snould, oy «a means, pass the ordinance doing away with freak advertising, such as the carrying about the city of banners or transparencies by men, or on wagons, whose only excuse for being upon the streets is for advertising purposes. They not only give a cheap impression of the firms so advertising, but of the city as well, and cumber up the streets unnecessarily. It is doubtful if such advertising is more profitable than the legitimate forms, and the question of putting legitimate advertisers to a disadvantage is an open one; yet its unsightliness and general cheap John appearance is enough to condemn it. The ordinance should be broad enough, also, to re- st@ict boycott banners of all kinds. The former may have some apology for existence, the latter none whatever. We have no objection to the Seattie Socialist, or writers therein, calling their kind slaves, cattle, etc., but we do resent it as an insult, and persist that they shall not call those who do not accept their revolutionary ideas by such names. The great mass of citi zens are reasonable, thinking beings, and are able to give an intelligent reason why they think and vote as they do, That some of them are not, and are lead about by every kind of doctrine, as is evidenced by the fact that Socialism has a few follow- ers, is to be regretted.

LEER ST TL TELE TT The press of the state are airing their wit and moralizing ability at Seattle’s expense, since it is in the unpleasant condition of having its Mayor, Chief of Police, Justices of the Peace and other more or less prom: inent citizens under indictment for various crimes, If they can learn and ‘appropiate to themselves that which will keep them from traveling the pace Seattle is going, all well and good, We don’t recommend the Se- attle gait as the best course to pur sue, and would suggest that there are rocks along this way that are best avoided by taking the other route; but so far as Seattle is concerned no one needs to waste any time or sym pathy with her, we are only getting what we asked for; what we said we wanted. We elected a Mayor who told us he would give us a wide-open town; he has kept his word, and these little indictments are only in- cidental, a little of the unpleasant: ness that comes a‘ong with the pleas- ure of freedom from restraint, which we said we wanted. .

A war of classes, as suggested by a correspondent in the P.I., of the 3rd inst., will never settle the vexed question that has so long been agitating the public mind, and cause amicable relations to exist between those two great forces, capital and labor. This writer, promulgating a heretofore unheard of idea of political economy, says that the problem of labor and capital can never be settled until we have two great parties, one representing the capitalist class, and standing on a capitalist platform, and one representing the laboring class, with a platform representing their ideas. A well recognized law of political economy is, that capital and labor are dependent one upon the other and the utmost good feeling must exist for the mutual benefit of both. No reasonable man will gainsay the truth of this law, and in the light of which, our friend's theory, for it is only a theory, talls of its own weight. Following this correspondent's theory to its logical conclusion, we would find, if the capitalist party should win, and they would be a tenth part as grinding and merciless as labor agitators would have us believe, that the lot of the laboring man would be hard indeed. It would be altogether too much power to place in the hands of soulless corporations. The inevitable result would be, riot, revolution, anarchy. On the other hand, let the labor party win with power to dictate to, and legislate for, capital, the danger would be that so great restrictions would be placed upon the life blood of the nation that it would rebel and cease to be productive. This it could do, as capital can, if need be, subsist upon itself and its possessors still live, while labor would be forced to organize commonweal armies again, and hunt for soup houses, of which things this country has seen quite enough. While we offer no suggestion at this time for the solution of this vexed problem, yet it is clearly evident it is not to be had by arraying class against class. Harmony, not discord, is what is needed. WORDS FITLY SPOKEN. The Western Home Journal says: The Western Home Journal says: "There has certainly been too much sentimental sympathy expressed in behalf of strikers. It seems to me before these labor troubles can cease there will have to be a public sentiment backed by law that will protect every man alike. The laboring man should not be injoined from laying down his tools when he has, or thinks he has a grievance, and no man or set of men should be hindered from taking them up if they desire to do so. Laboring men have a right to form a union for their own benefit and protection, but they have no right to hold up the commerce of a state or nation and force men out of employment that are satisfied with their conditions, and by threats or force prevent others from taking their places simply to accomplish their own selfish ends. If corporations should meekly submit to all the demands of labor unions they would soon be in the power of a trust, the most dangerous the world has ever known, and one that would never be satisfied until its own greed had eaten up the life that had nourished it."

Main 305 1414 Second Ave. We Will Come for your notice Publication Day Friday TALES OF THE TOWN. Last Thursday, incidentally the Piemaker dropped into Judge Bell's court room in his search for news, not knowing prior to his entrance that His Honor was entertaining some of the city dignitaries, and on entering a sight that was never expected to be seen by any man in King county presented itself—Judge-Mayor Humes in criminal row, with a dozen or more lawyers, who had volunteered to defend him, taking their turn in trying with all their might and main to have him escape the ordeal of facing a jury, through technical demurrers. Such might be expected of most any other man in the city, who has not boasted for years of his honesty and straightforwardness, but to the man who has made political capitol out of the cognomen "Old Honest Tom Humes," it, to say the least, was a strange sight. The technical contentions raised by the attorneys were taken under advisement by Judge Bell, who will render a decision next Monday morning. A few days after Mayor Humes' arrest he declared that he was willing to waive all formalities and submit his case to a jury and have the matter settled at once as to whether he had done any wrong, but it seems that he has suddenly changed his mind, and now he is endeavoring through his attorneys to wiggle out of the case through technicalities. Even the young hot head of Issaquah, who started out to clean up the town and be both judge and jury, is now howling the loudest that the majesty of the law be unheld. Judge Heaton tried to convince him of that fact before the law laid violent hands on him, but to no avail. A short season in the county jail and a fine of $60 and costs by Judge Bell, however, thoroughly convinced him it was dangerous business to monkey with the working machinery of the law in the state of Washington.
