Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTL POLITICAL POT=PIE Whether the next man elected by the legislature to represent the state of Washington in the United States senate will claim King or Pierce county as his residence is causing much speculation among the business men and the politicians in both King and Pierce. The feeling not only exists in these two counties, but it has likewise extended to those counties of the state that look either to the one or the other for political succor. Viewing the situation from a non-prejudice standpoint King county has as much right to the position as Pierce county and vice versa. Geographically considering the situation, its of little consequence to the balance of the state as to which of these two counties the next senator comes from. He is due from Western Washington and its up to the longest pole to knock the persimmon. Looking at it, however, in the spirit of political fairness, one would naturally say, in as much as Tacoma has had it for six years, Seattle should have it for the next six years. A majority of the members of the next legislature, in the opinion of the Pie-maker, will look at it from that view point, and if King county can muster up a candidate that can show the proper kind of outside strength they will give him their votes. It is currently announced on the streets that Harold Preston, who was so crushingly defeated at the hands of the last legislature in his attempt to have himself elected to the United States senate, will be a candidate before the next legislature for the same honor. If Mr. Preston is correctly reported he does not seem to be exercising even good judgment in asking the next legislature for what he lost last winter. Granted, however, that he is a candidate, let's see what he can reasonably expect from King county, from whence he hails. * * * In the Thirtieth legislative district there are four members of the legislature, one senator and three members. It is not even reasonable to suppose that he will get a single vote from that district, as Mr. Preston most unmercifully abused the hold-over senator, Dr. Smith, and his friends because they did not do his biddings last winter. The hold over senator from The thirty-first legislative district came in for his share of abuse from the Preston gang and while he stayed by him until the end it is not probable that O. A. Tucker will ever again vote for Harold Preston for anything. But in this district there are two members of the lower house to be elected and it is barely possible that both of them may be Preston men. * * * In the Thirty-second legislative district there is one senator, a hold over, A. T. Van De Vanter, and for the same reasons as those entertained by Dr. Smith, he would not vote again for Preston, and if his influence counts for anything Preston will not get a vote from the other two members. The Van De Vanter faction completely dominates the politics of the district and it is more than likely that he will use his influence in getting men nominated for the lower house that will vote against Preston. Senator Andrew Hemrich is far from being a Preston admirer and he voted for him before under protest, and he will never do so again. It is very questionable if Mr. Preston can elect members to the lower house of his liking from this district, for, despite the abuse he heaped on Comstock and Levy, both of them stand well in the district and especially Comstock, and he will come very near being renominated and elected. Preston might be able to get one out of the three. Senator Billie Moore, who is the holdover from the Thirty-fourth legislative district, is far from being a Preston man though he might be induced to vote for him in case there was no show for a Democrat. The two members of the lower house might be captured by the Preston forces, but that is problematical and some other Seattle man would stand just as good show to win out as Preston if not better. Even Preston himself does not believe that Senator Billie Potts from the Thirty-fifth legislative district will ever cast another vote for him for United States senator, and while Potts makes no pretensions of carrying the district in his pocket, still he has sufficient influence to beat an out and out Preston man for the nomination, and at best Preston could get but one vote from the district. The thirty-sixth legislative district, where Senator Richie Kinnear comes from, has three members in the legislature. Preston will hardly get any help from Kinnear and if he can prevent it he will not get a vote from the other two. Kinnear and his friends have run the district for a good many years and it is reasonable to suppose that they will do so next year. While Senator E. B. Palmer was nominated and elected as a Preston man and voted for him through thick and thin, yet he no longer feels obligated to him, and if King county has another candidate more to his liking than Preston he will unhesitatingly support his choice. It is barely possible, however, that Preston could capture the two members of the lower house from this the Thirty-seventh legislative district. * * * Summing up the whole in case Harold Preston is again a candidate for the United States senate before the next legislature he will get only six out of the twenty-five votes and perhaps not that many, and with no better showing than that he would only be a candidate for a minute. --- VOL. I.X. NO. 48 * * * *** *** \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* * * * *** E REPU SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1903 [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. The Pie-maker has recently been informed that Congressman W. L. Jones will surely be a candidate for the United States senatorship before the next legislature. Mr. Jones has been prompted to become a candidate for the honor because of the desperate fight that is now on between King and Pierce counties, which, he reasons, will be so bitter that neither of them can succeed and both of them would prefer him to some untired man. Since his return from Washington City he has been throwing beautiful bouquets at the politicians of both towns and his hooking up with Foster and Ankeny to control the patronage of the state as against Cushman has made him supporters among the Foster people as well as among the Ankeny people. It would be placing both of the senators in Eastern Washington, but if the western part of the state would not be able to get together, he reasons that it would be perfectly natural that all parties concerned would compromise on him. The latest on the mayoralty situation in Seattle is George F. Meacham for the nomination. Meacham is a mighty strong man and would make a nasty wrap if he should enter the fight. Spokane's municipal election last Tuesday resulted in a victory for the regular Republican nominee with a mixture of success as to the remainder of the ticket among the other parties and factions. The election on its face would seem to indicate that Spokane favors a wide open policy, but this is not true, as the wide open policy man was only elected by a 63 plurality over the shut tight candidate, and again, the successful candidate only received a third of all the votes cast. The election had no political significance. MIKE DOOGEN MIKE DOOGEN Universal Religun Club, Klancy Building, Washington Street, May, 1903.

It seems that Republican writers and speakers have been in error in contending that modern Democrats were out of harmony with their patron saint, Thomas Jefferson, in opposing territorial expansion, stating as proof that Jefferson was the author of the Louisiana purchase, the one hundredth anniversary of which is to be celebrated by the world's fair in St. Louis, but according to Collier's Weekly they are right in line with his ideas. It says: "The fact is that the purchase was arranged for without his knowledge by Livingston and Monroe, who had been sent to treat with Napoleon for an entirely different purpose, and Jefferson approved it with great reluctance. He even went so far at first as to say that he could not approve it because it would make 'waste paper of the Constitution.' After it became plain that the people wanted the treaty ratified Jefferson assented to it and planned to secure an amendment to the Constitution ratifying it. Jefferson said that in buying the land he had exceeded his powers, as a strict constructionist of the Constitution, and that it was like using for investment money of a ward, of whom he was the guardian, without warrant of law." A Capital Labor War. Two mighty forces interdependent one upon the other, yet each striving to assert its independence and get the mastery of the other, each blindly striving to throttle to the death the other, presents a sad spectacle in the industrial world. We refer to capital and labor, and while many thoughtful men have feared for the outcome, yet a great leveling process is at work, and trust, whether of capital or labor, in their blind greed for self aggrandizement, will not be permitted to paralize industry and turn advancing civilization back on its course. The remedy is not along the line of a new order of things, social or economic, as promoters of new cults would have us believe, but the remedy lies in the power of the federal government, and is already being applied. Both classes of trusts have been made to feel its power, and government, or regulation by injunction, will continue to be used, where liberty is construed to mean license. Public's Rights Ignored. The rights of capital and labor have been receiving much attention of late, but the rights of the general public, at the hands of both, is for the most part ignored. To the labor trust must be charged the most recent, extravagant, and it must be added, foolish disregard of public rights. An announcement is made of a strike being ordered because the employer refused to spend his time talking with an obtrusive walking delegate. The workmen had no grievance, but they must quit their job because Mr. Walking Delegate felt his dignity had been insulted. In that case, neither the rights of capital, labor or the public were considered. In New York City all building operations were recently suspended, not on a question of recognition of the union, not on account of wages, hours of labor, or any question between employers and employed, but because one labor trust wanted to absorb another. The smaller organization would not consent to the benevolent assimilation overtures of the larger, so a strike was called, again in utter disregard for the rights of the public. No wonder the public is looking to the courts for redress. Harvey W. Scott, the veteran editor and owner of the Portland Oregonian, was in the city this week on his way to New York as a member of the board of directors of the Associated Press. Editor Scott is a central figure in the development and growth of the Northwest. He has been on this coast more than half a century, for the most of which time he has been the editor of the Portland Oregonian. Religious Observations Startling Reductions In... Women's Suits A Sale that is Sensational but Emphatic. Prices Cut One-Third Some idea of the fruits of foreign missions in India may be gathered from the results of a seven days trip in the Gujatat district by Bishop Thoburn of the M. E. church, during his recent visit to that country. During the seven days trip, much of the time being spent in traveling from place to place, he baptized and received into church communion 1747 persons. Two years ago, in the same district, there were over six thousand baptized and many more desired it who could not be reached by ordained ministers. *** Dissatisfaction is loudly expressed on the part of churchmen in England with the persistence of parliament in interfering with the internal management of the established church, especially as many members of parliament are sectarians and unbelievers. The tendency is a growing sentiment towards a disestablishment of the church. 恙 米 审 The work which Atlanta (Ga.) University has been doing for the Negro for thirty-four years is well set forth in a pamphlet written and compiled by O. T. Ware, the chaplain of the university. The chief object of the founding of Atlanta University was to supply the much-needed teachers for Negro schools. According to the 1902 catalogue, sixty per cent. of the university's graduates are now engaged in this profession. How important this is can be realized only when the crowded condition of the Negro-public schools of the South is understood. Ten per cent of the graduates are in distinctly religious work. \* \* \* There is a movement on foot in Chicago to put scripture text cards in all the street cars and elevated cars, after the fashion of the enterprising advertiser. Cards have been displayed on two lines for the last year and a half, and the work is being rapidly extended. It is estimated that an expense of $750 per month will keep one of these cards in every surface and elevated car in the city. Dr. A. T. Traveller is one of the advisers of the movement, and Mr. John H. Hunter, 80 Institute Place, Chicago, is the treasurer. \* \* \* The finest church building for native worshipers in Southern Asia is located at Baroda, Gujarat. It was dedicated by Bishop Warne last December. It has a seating capacity of 2,500 and yet the entire structure cost only $7,000. The building was paid for by the labor of weavers. During the great famine a large part of the funds which c ame from America for relief was used in purchasing raw material, to be worked up by the people, and they were paid for their labor instead of being given the money outright. Rev. E. F. Frease, the presiding elder, purchased yarn and set the weavers to work. Then he sold the cloth and used the money to buy more material and to pay the weavers. When the money had thus been turned over several times and the famine was abating, at the last selling of the goods the profits were set apart for the building of this beautiful church. In this way the money sent for famine relief did three or four times what was expected of it for that purpose, and in addition it has made possible this permanent structure.

Later it began to warn young people of the dangers of drink. Now the school children are regularly instructed in regard to the evils of drink, and a society called "The Hope" has been formed of little pledge-signers. The French ministry continues to receive the support of the Chamber of Deputies in its campaign against the religious orders. The chamber has adopted the recommendation of the commission on monastic orders that permission to continue their work be withheld from the teaching and preaching orders after Premier Combes had declared that he would regard disapproval of the report as an indication of lack of confidence in the ministry. The attitude of the chamber reflects the attitude of the nation, which has decided that the religious orders must cease to enjoy their special privileges at the expense of the state, because they have been seeking to undermine the republic, and have been accumulating large amounts of untaxed property. Forty-five delegates, representing the Congregational Methodist and United Brethren Churches, held a meeting in Pittsburgh recently to discuss the union of these denominations. It is possible that a name, including all the denominations involved, will be chosen, provided a satisfactory conclusion is reached in reference to the proposed union. The three denominations have a combined membership of over 1,000,000 souls. If a plan of union is decided on, it will remain for the various denominations involved to ratify the action of the convention. Dr. Daniel C. Gilman, president of the Carnegie Institution in Washington, has been elected president of the American Bible Society. Bishop Rouxel, who is in charge of the archiepiscopal see of New Orleans during the absence of Archbishop Chapelle, says that he is flooded with applications from the refugee religious orders in France, which are desirous of establishing themselves in Louisiana. The task of securing a successor to John Willis Baer as general secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, has been accomplished after nearly six months deliberation.

During this period he has founded thirty-three churches, a girls' industrial school with fifty pupils, a girls' finishing school, having 275 pupils; a boys' Methodist college and a theological school under the direction of Dr. Clark, all in Rome, and an industrial school for boys in Venice. The Methodist building in Rome, one of the largest in Europe, which was built to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the fall of the Pope's temporal power, contains two churches, a publishing house, and a home for expriests. The suggestion of expert Landscape Gardener Olmsted that street car, telephone and telegraph companies, who use the streets, should be made to pay a tax for the same, said tax to be applied to the making and beautifying public parks and pleasure resorts where people may retire for a time, away from the maddening crowds, and commune with nature, rest and recuperate, is a good one. The idea of an extensive park system is also wise, and should be acted upon to the extent of the city's ability to make and maintain. The collision of the steamers Queen and Adamson during a heavy fog, whereby the Adamson had to be beached near West Point light house to prevent sinking and the Queen sustained considerable damage, was no doubt one of those cases where things just happen so, and no one was responsible. However, as owner of each vessel has sued the other for damages, the courts will have to decide where the responsibility lies. One by one the indictments returned by the late grand jury are being dismissed and the people are wondering what they got for their money. It, however, seems to be the opinion that Chief of Police Sullivan will be made the scape goat; but even that is not certain. However the grand jury did accomplish one thing, and that was the making of Seattle a fairly decent town for three months and thus proved that even a city the size of Seattle need not necessarily be allowed to run "wide open." The purchase of the Yesler block for the new county court house should, and probably does, settle the question of site for the new city hall. Owing to the advantage coming to both city and county by having the public offices near together, it is not thought the council will be so unwise as to seek a new location, but will now build the new city hall upon the site of the old one, on the block adjoining the new court house block. Now let the city council buckle in and build the new hall without delay. It is surely needed badly enough. Heminway @ Sons' Best Quality Spool Silk, Per Spool 8 Cts.

The town of Auburn says "me too" when it comes to a race for the new county seat of King county. The U. S. Federal Court will be opened in this city tomorrow, the eleventh inst., by Judge Hanford, after an extended session in Spokane. That old animal at the city jail has been at it gaain—abusing sick and helpless women. Such cowardly whelps ought to be forced to live with wolves and hyenas. Mike Doogen's letters grow better every week and you are missing a rare treat if you do not order The Seattle Republican to your address that you can read them every week. Now that H. H. Dearborn, the tide-land king, has returned from his annual winter vacation in Southern California, something will soon be doing among the tide land dealers. Assaulting young girls of tender years is of common occurrence in Seattle here of late and yet all of them who have been arrested for it but one negro is to be found. Evidently some black brushes wear white skins. Roosevelt is my kind of a president, said a prominent democrat of King county the other day, and he will get my vote next year. This is of no especial importance, except as a type of which there are many all over the country. When such men as T. N. Haller throw up the Democratic sponge and openly announce their intention of supporting Roosevelt or any other good Republican, it begins to look as if Democracy in Seattle was on the ragged edge. "Guard Carson," after a year's absence, is again in Seattle, explaining why his miserable old curs, for which the state paid an enormous price, refused to trace Tracy. Say, whatever body knows, old man, they were not worth a tinker's damn. It would appear that the cry, "Seattle is without hotel accommodations" is too soon to be a thing of the past as four new hotels are now in the course of erection and two more are to be started in the very near future. You can soon both eat and sleep in Seattle. Tom Page may be all wood and a yard wide and as honest and honorable as lawyers ever get to be, but his name gets hooked up with a whole lot of things that sound bad when repeated in public or seen in print. Can there be so much smoke without some fire? The announcement that James D. Hoge, Jr., had sold out his interest in the First National Bank came like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. Hoge made a mistake when he sold the P-I. and his friends think he has made a mistake in selling the bank, even if he did get a big price for it. Now comes the great Bon Marche, the most conservative advertising house in the Northwest, and yet the most extensive one in good advertising mediums, and takes a large amount of space with The Seattle Republican. In another column hereof its advertisement may be found. NORTHWEST NOTES. NORTHWEST NOTES. The town of Arlington, Snohomish county, has voted to incorporate and have selected a full set of town officers. The saloon men of Everett are mad, to speak it plainly, because the council will not reced from its position of requiring them to respect the law, and to retaliate refuse to assist in the fund to entertain President Roosevelt; but he will be entertained all right, and by "clean" money. Men in legitimate lines of business are responding liberally. The location of aerial telegraph lines does not seem to interfere with cable line construction. Notwithstanding prospective aerial routes, a cable has just been laid from San Francisco to the Orient, and this week articles of incorporation have been filed in this city for a new company composed in part of Seattle men to build a cable from Seattle to Vladivostock, touching at Valdes and other Alaskan points. Our neighbor city Everett is in the throes of a family row. The city is divided into two parts, geographically, the Bayside and Riverside, with their business centers two or three miles apart. It seems the Bayside is able to control the city council, and the council wants the Riverside people to be good and the Riverside people don't want to; they want dance halls and other appurtenances to a "wide open" town, and because of the persistency o e council in trying to make them law abiding, the Riverside people are trying to secede and become a separate town. . . . An official death rate summary given out by the census bureau shows a lower rate of deaths from diseases for the State of Washington than any other of the twenty-one districts into which the country is divided. While we may congratulate ourselves that this is so, yet what the report has to say about deaths in the state is anything but flattering. It says: "The most sensational deaths occur in the Pacific coast district region, in the State of Washington. This is the only district in which gunshot wounds are reported as a prevalent cause of death. Heart disease, suicide and apoplexy show there the largest number of victims, and the record is held for the greatest number of deaths from alcoholism." THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. "Get somebody besides lawyers and doctors to go and listen to that dying man's statement if you want to make a hit with the jury," said the prosecuting attorney one day this week to his deputies. An honest man, it must be admitted, in such a crowd might lend dignity to the occasion. Ira Bronson, the well-known Seattle attorney, who, perhaps, enjoys the largest civil practice of any one attorney in the city, has recently returned from a three week's business trip in the East. "I intended to take a little rest before returning, but business matters called me home sooner than I expected." The title to the Yesler block having been found perfect, the county commissioners will at once issue general fund warrants of the county bearing 5 per cent. interest in payment therefor, thus the county comes into possession of the most available and desirable location for a court house in the city. Among the level-headed men of this city none are more so than the sons of the late Arthur A. Denny. The father left his heirs property which easily make them the richest men as to property in the city and they have acted wisely and incorporated the same where it will constantly increase in value. The report of the coroner's jury that the death of Miss Margaret De Boe, or Mrs. Hurlebaus, whichever is her name, extricates Dr. J. Eugene Jordan from a very unpleasant position, but it leaves the impression that he, no doubt, realizes, as did the unfortunate woman, "that the way of the transgressor is hard." "Who's going to carry the banner in that Roosevelt dress parade?" is now the vexed question of the town. Every fellow and his brother are struggling to get next in order to make the biggest show before the president. Even Editor Clayson is going to get out a ten-thousand extra edition of the Patriarch in honor of Teddy. As President Roosevelt will be in Seattle over the Sunday preceding Memorial Day, the G. A. R. will invite him to take part in the usual church service held by them on that day. If he accepts we predict that never before in Seattle has so large a congregation gathered under one roof as will be seen that day in the Seattle theatre building, where the services are to be held. Mrs. Adelaide Lloyd Smith, oil stock speculator, who operated in this city a few months ago and sold stock said to be worthless to the amount of several thousand dollars, to Seattle parties, and who was arrested in San Francisco, arrived here on Monday. The case has attracted wide notoriety and the result of the trial that is to follow will be watched with a good deal of interest. Russia seems to have subsided, for the time being at least, in her efforts to secure control of Manchuria. There is doubt in the mind of the general public but that the rumor of her intentions were not without foundation, but seeing the storm of protest that went up from every direction, and all nations, --- in the least interested, she has very wisely disavowed any intention to sieve the territory. Greek seems to have met Greek in this city, so the city council, to keep peace in the family, propose to carry water in two buckets. It is not known that they love the waterway company any the less or J. J. Hill's tunnel scheme the more, but true it is, they have cut 3,000,000 gallons of water from the daily supply of the former company for the use of the latter; now we may expect to see the waterway company try to prevent the construction of the tunnel as an interference with its pre-empted rights. Senator Foster does not take gracefully the defeat sustained by him at the hands of Congressman Humphries, in blocking his little game in trying to prevent President Roosevelt from having any time in Seattle during daylight hours, and as the head of the Tacoma committee is insisting that the president shall be Tacoma's guest until the docks are reached at Seattle, Congressman Humphrey, head of the Seattle committee, says "nit." So the prospect for fun is very promising. Active preparations have been begun for the proper observance of Memorial Day. There is a growing tendency to look upon this day as another Fourth of July and observe it as such. It is to be hoped the committees having the matter in charge will guard against this as much as possible and keep prominent the fact that while it is not a day of mournings, yet its proper observance is quite different from that of a Fourth of July. No one is opposed to the Seattle and Lake Washington company filling in the tide flats; no one will say but that it is doing a splendid work for Seattle's present and future good, and no one desires to throw unnecessary obstacles in its way. The trouble seems to arise from the fact that the company acts as though it was the city of Seattle, that it is the whole show. Its private interests are great, and indirectly the city is greatly benefited by its work, but there are others. No one believes it has any intention of digging the so called south canal, but every one does believe it was a hold up, pure and simple, to say so, and thus far, delay the north canal. In view of the fact that the building of the north canal will in no wise interfere with its work, or for the demand for the land it is creating, the whole affair looks very much like the "dog in the manger" proposition. One of Seattle's greatest needs is moderate priced water front property. Extensive as is her frontage on Elliott Bay, and as extensive as are her manufacturing site areas, yet there is a lacking; Seattle has a demand for an innumerable number of small industries, such as must have cheap locations, on or near the water front. These cannot now be supplied; but with the building of the north canal and thus opening Lakes Union and Washington to navigation, these could be provided. This is but one reason why the action of the waterway company is opposed, in its hold-up policy. So far as the vacation of streets is concerned for its benefit, that can no doubt be adjusted, but before any further concessions are granted it it should be required to cease its opposition to the only feasible canal proposition.

It is also believed that the council will sustain the veto. This action will possibly prevent Mr. Yaw and associates, some of whom are said to be members of the city council, from the benefits of a "get rich quick" proposition, but it will give time for a little closer investigation into the merits or demerits of the municipal ownership plan for garbage disposal; also for a little wholesome competition, if it is to be done by private enterprise. The city is to be congratulated on the action of the Mayor. BLETHENITES. Everett Record: One of the BLETHEN family has "been" appointed TO succeed J. Ham. Lewis "as" the Washington representative (in) the National organization of "Democratic" clubs? That is a great honor. * * * The organization is a remarkable ONE as no "two" of the clubs which compose it have the SAME political views. Therefore the remarkable talents of a man WHO "can" meet all! the requirements need "no" eulogium. The race of BLETHEN is to be thrice congratulated. That the "CHOSEN ONE" will live up to the organization's expectations cannot for a fragment of a SECOND be doubted by "those" who attempt to FOLLOW the editorial gymnastics "of" the Seattle Times. He is pre-eminently equipped. --- The sixteenth annual convention of the Washington State Sunday School Association will be held in Tacoma, May 12 to 22 inclusive. The program, as announced, is an interesting one, and numerous workers of national reputation, as well as state workers, will be present and take active parts. On Friday evening, the 22nd inst, President Roosevelt will address the convention. It is generally believed, although not officially given out, that Mayor Humes has vetoed the Yaw garbage franchise, which was railroaded through the council in such a "raw" The Seattle Republican H.

There is no nation on earth that desires peace more than does Russia, and it will have it, too, if other nations will let it have its own way. A Texas town took exceptions to Gen. Fred Grant's statement wherein he said that said town was "A patch of hell." Perhaps it wants people to think it is the whole thing. It is all right to say that strawberries have a tendency to cause suicide so long as they cannot be had for less than 25 cents a box, but let them get down to a nickle a box and everybody cats suicide medicine. There is at least one thing upon which all factions of the once Democratic party are agreed, and that is that they must have an issue, without that there seems to be but little use to make nominations. One thing is evidenced by the efforts of Democracy to find an issue, and that is they have gotten entirely away from the tariff for revenue only. Now they talk modified tariff, revision, etc., thereby paying a high tribute to the republican policy of tariff for protection of home industries. It is now stated that W. R. Hearst, the yellow, is trying to pose as the labor candidate for the presidency. It is an insult to the intelligence of the American laboring man to presume that he has no more intelligence than to be caught by such chaff as that. The way to abate a nuisance is to give it a commercial value. Some portions of Eastern Washington and Oregon are annoyed very much with jackrabbits. Some one has conceived the idea of canning them for market, so now we may expect to hear in a few years of a law to protect them from annihilation and to save a profitable industry. It might not be as cheap for the Waterway Company engaged in filling in the tide flats to pump up material from the bottom of the bay, but to the unsophisticated layman it would seem to be a much better plan than to cut down the upland and disarrange streets, etc. Besides the annoyance of trying to destroy valuable property they would be adding to the value of the harbor as well as filling in the flats. A good exhibition of President Roosevelt's breadth of ideas, his versatility, his comprehensive grasp of the eternal fitness of things, and his ability, is manifested in his speeches as he passes through the country. His addresses are not stale repetitions, but everywhere there is a local flavor injected; and while he holds to high ideals, yet he diversifies and adapts his remarks to fit the locality or the occasion. An exchange says: "Indiana has inaugurated a new system of attending weddings. It consists of all the friends having their telephones connected with the bride's residence and listening to the ceremony over the wire. We doubt, however, if the scheme will ever become popular. How could one tell what the bride wore or if the groom stumbled?" Or who would be content to take a smack at the bride's two-lips through the telephone. It is wonderful the amount of time and ability that is expended by some of the country press in getting up their editorial pages. Horace Greeley, Chas. A. Dana, Henri Watterson, or Alden J. Blethen is not to be compared as to quality or quantity, put out by some of these moulders of public opinion. As an instance, one of last week's exchanges had for its editorial efforts the new road law, an obituary notice and the following: "The moon shines on, even if a puppy dog doth bay." The misfortune of being possessed with large fortunes is one of the anomalies of modern times. Mr. Car- RIDER AGENTS WANTED in each town to take orders for our new High Grade Guaranteed Bicycles.

MEAD CYCLE CO., Chicago, Ill. negie, who thinks it would be a disgrace to die rich, finds it a harder matter to dispose of his vast wealth than it was to accumulate it. Other multi-millionaires are finding that great wealth is about as annoying and unsatisfying as poverty. Whether this knowledge will tend to diminish the number of those who are seeking to amass large fortunes remains to be seen. The Olympia Chronicle says: "Olympia can be made the largest manufacturing city in Washington." It bears that distinction already for certain kinds of products. Every two years the rest of the state send down there a lot of good fellows, honest, upright, noble citizens, and after a brief sixty days' stay in that rural retreat, they are sent back home made over, manufactured into boodlers and grafters, a corrupted and corrupting influence, if we are to believe the tales that are told of them. The Commonwealth of this city announces that it is going to attempt the impossible feat of blowing hot and cold at the same time, in other words, ride two horses at once, one going one way and the other going the other way; or to be more explicit, it, an avowed Republican paper, proposes to run a Democratic column or department. The idea of a paper being both Republican and Democratic at the same time is surely unique, and the management, in seeking to "catch 'em both a'cummin' and a goin'" may find itself sprawling in the mud, between the two. The "race suicide" idea as suggested by President Roosevelt bids fair to cause a revival in the large family business. It certainly will bring the baby from the nursery and the kindergarten and King Canant will soon be on his throne again. Queen Alexandria endorses the Rooseveltian idea and rides the streets of London holding her grandchild on her lap. This is sufficient, this sets the pace, and now all the apes and apeses of royalty will be doing likewise and the poor poodle dogs will be in need of a friend in court. He is liable to be neglected and made to take second place until the baby fad has run its course. Poor doggie! Some of the state press is making a point over the necessary passing of the church fair raffle, as a result of the new gambling law. It ought not to require a state law to prevent church societies from indulging in a practice that was always foreign to their professions; but if any such do indulge in gambling under the popular name of raffle, the law has been passed none too soon; and the frequenter of church fairs and socials will not hereafter depart thence, with that feeling of having been held up. We believe, however, the acquisition implied does not apply to orthodox protestant churches, except to a very limited extent; but let the new law be rigidly enforced, strike where it may. A government road is to be built through the forest reserves to Mount Rainier. A plan has been submitted by Charles Bedford to the Tacoma chamber of commerce, whereby the $10,000 appropriated by the government will be spent in building the road. The plan includes erecting a road house at Gibraltar rock, about 12,000 feet above sea level, on the south side of the mountain. This will serve as a haven for mountain climbers. It will be near the "Camp of the Mists" just below "Camp Misery," a popular stopping place. The house will be constructed of stone. Juneau, Alaska, is to have a $50,000 United States court house.

Indications point to unusually heavy crops, as a whole, in 1903. While it is too early to any more than approximate the yield, yet taking the favorable reports from the winter wheat belt into consideration and the favorable conditions for spring seeding, all through the farming districts, the govern- ment statisticians are able to form a fairly good idea of what may be expected; barring of course unusual elemental disaster, While bountiful crops and abundant harvest means less selling price per bushel for the farmer, yet all things con- sidered, it is much to be preferred, for what is lost in price, per measure, is more than made up in quantity. Large har- yests means great demands for help, and a freer circulation of money, greater activity in trade circles, to supply the neces- sary equipment for garnering the crops, greater transporta- tion activity, etc., and finally more cash in the hands of the farmer to give back into the world of commerce for the prod- uct of the looms, the mills and the factories. While it may not occur to many removed from the agricultural districts, and shut up in populous cities, yet it is a fact that the basis of our industries rests with and upon the husbandman, Farm- ing, in its various branches, is the barometer of the com- mercial world. Peoyle have not been in the habit, of late years, of looking to Chicago for improved methods of managing municipal affairs, Chicago seemed to be given up to the very worst and most corrupting influence; but a light is breaking: over, or in, the Windy City. A creature born of necessity, the municipal voters’ league, which has for some years been trying to purge that city, has constantly added to itself strength and num- bers, and after many defeats it is now able to announce that two-thirds of the recently elected city council were endorsed by it. While it is discouraging and deplorable that so many of our communities are in the hands of the immoral, vicious, boodling element, when a leayen of decency is found, active enough to work despite discouragements, it is worthy of notice and commendation, Let the honest government peo- ple in other cities take courage and keep their powder dry. eae Uncle Sam's Ex-Presidents. There never has been any occasion to worry about what shall be done with our ex-presidents, yet some super-patriotic persons have essayed to do so, They seem to forget that this is a democratic government and not a monarchy. None of our ex-presidents, so far, have suffered in dignity, self respect or esteem of their fellows, by retiring either to quiet or active private life, at the expiration of their terms of office, and there is no occasion to fear for the future. There is certainly no need to worry about our present president, ‘Theodore Roosevelt is a man who does things, and they come his way about as he wants them to. After another term in the white house, which he is sure to have, he will leave it still a young man, comparatively, with many years for stren- uous activity before him, It is said that it is his desire, after his service to the nation is over, to become the president of Harvard University; and it is not a long guess to say he will get it. So there need be no need to worry as to what shall be done with ex-President Roosevelt when time shall have made him an ex. AFRO-AMERICAN,. ‘The utter foolishness of Southern Democrats in their great hue and cry about appointment of Negroes to office by Presi- dent Roosevelt, is vividly set forth by the Portland Oregonian, in the following: “President McKinley appointed 52 Negroes to office within his four years of service. Nine were made collectors of customs, 16 were given postoffices, five inter jor department offices, five internal revenue offices, and 13 were given posts in the diplomatic and consular service. These appointments occasioned no uproar in the South, where President MeKinley received an enthusiastic welcome during his journey through that section in the spring of 1901, Presi- dent Roosevelt has thus far appointed 15 Negroes to office against McKinley's 52, but eight of the 15 have been reap- pointments, leaving only seven original appointments of Negroes to the credit of Mr. Roosevelt. The only explana- tion for the uproar excited by President Roosevelt's few ap- pointments is his notable recognition of Booker Washington as a gentleman as well as a man and a brother by inviting him to take lunch with him at his private table. Mrs. Collis P, Huntington has presented a library building to the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, at New- port News, Va, At the formal presentation exercises bril- liant addresses were made by President Hadley of Yale, and Booker T. Washington, of Muskegee, Mississippi. Wash- ington said during his address: “The solution of the great race problem is not in abuse of the South by the North; not in condemning the Negro, nor in the Negro cursing the white man; not in colonization; not in deportation; not in amalgamation or extermination, But it is in honest, sympa- thetic co-operation between the races, I wish.we might open a new chapter for the black man, and in it let us hear more of possible, and less of impossible; more of race success, and less of race failure; more of things permitted, and less of things forbidden; more of race righteousness, and less of race crime; more of what the race has done, and less of what it has failed to do.

There is a great demand for farm hands in Spokane, and in fact all kinds of labor. In the wheat region, farmers are offering thirty-five dollars a month and board for good help. And yet, there are thousands of young fellows who complain of lack of remunerative employment in overcrowded cities. It is queer that a man should prefer to work at from $1.50 to $2.00 in unsanitary factories, workshops or offices, where he will never amount to much, if anything, and where prospects of acquiring a competency are small, when he can get healthy employment, the nobility of which is as old as mankind, at good wages, and with promises of being his own master within a few years. There would, no doubt, be a god deal more of social contentment and progress, and less of crime, suicide and disorder, if our young men were, instead of hurrying to the nerve-racking and ambition-killing centers of population, "to take to the woods" and live as they live, amid normal, natural surroundings.—Saturday Spectator. The cannerymen in British Columbia are considering the project of canning sardines during that part of the year when salmon are not running. Mr. Dudley says that a sardine cannery was established at Port Townsend two years ago, and that in 1901 the output was 60,000 cases. This year's pack will amount to 175,000 cases. It is claimed that these so-called sardines are superior to those of the Atlantic coast and are equal to the foreign product. CITY LEGAL NOTICES. NOTICE.

Norris, who made a profound impression upon his many hearers. The solo by Mrs. W. H. Taylor was well rendered in her usual sweet and charming way, which captured the large audience. The instrumental solos, saxophane and trombone, by Mr. W. M. Cook and Prof. F. D. Withers, were well received and loudly enclosed. The essay by Mr. Clifford C. Hancock reflected much credit upon the writer as showing deep research and careful preparation. The program rendered was as follows: Hymn, "Old Hundred," audience; invocation, Rev. G. H. Manney; hymn, "America," audience; Scripture lesson, "68th Psalm," Rev. P. B. McDonald; opening remarks, Pastor J. Gordon McPherson; contralto solo, "Flee as a Bird," Mrs. W. H.

Ryer's new dramatic masterpiece, "Our New Minister," which is in its second year of success, and which comes to the Grand on Sunday and three succeeding nights for the first time here. Its interest is broad in its scope, and the touches of pathos, bits of comedy, Yankee humor and Yankee dialect, make it an entertainment well worth seeing by everybody, old and young. The keynote of its success is A boy and a man in the fact that it pictures real people, real life, and a real state of affairs to be found in any rural New England B. YANDALE $6.00 WHATCOM AMUSEMENTS "Our New Minister." community at the present day. The play is in three acts and tells the story of life in "Hardscrabble," where the struggle for existence is hard and where narrow-minded prejudice dominates largely the lives of the villagers. Naturally the minister of such a place is a man of great importance, around whom revolve the main interests of the village. There is also interwoven a story of human interest in the return of a convict from state's prison, snunned by most of his old friends and acquaintances, yet championed by a few, led by the minister's example, in an effort to lead an upright life. The original company will be seen, and a magnificent scenic production is promised. Ben Hendricks, the popular actor and comedian, is again presenting the best of Swedish dialect plays, "Ole Olson," and with the same results that have attended his previous starring tours in this play—a succession of crowded houses that is seldom broken, giving tribute to his well directed efforts in the star part and to the excellence of his supporting company. A. H. Mr. Hendricks and "Ole," with all its fun, pathos, musical features, dancing and other specialties, will be at the Third Avenue theatre next week, and will doubtless attract that large class of amusement lovers that gets enjoyment from a wholesome comedy naturally presented. "The Swedish Ladies' Quartette" is a factor in the entertainment and the singing of this organization of attractive Swedish lasses is always an appreciated feature. The Baker Theater Company, which has been playing to capacity business at the Seattle Theater, will discard melodrama and take up comedy for the coming week, beginning Sunday matinee. The selection has fallen on the success of the late Augustin Daly, "A Night Off," the play which has made millions laugh and which will make millions laugh in years to come. It is a bright, lively comedy, telling a story in a clever way, and it will be produced by a company of players which counts "A Night Off" as one of its individual triumphs. "A Night Off" is a factory where laughs are manufactured every minute and where there is always action upon the stage. It is not a comedy where the fun lags nor where one wonders what it is all about, for by its story alone and its dialogue the play has made its bid for popularity. That the comedy must be better than the average is attested by the fact that "A Night Off" ran for many months at Daily's Theater on Broadway to standing room only, and in the cast were half a dozen people that have since become famous as stars. Professor Justinius Babbitt, instructor in ancient history, writes a tragedy as weird as the stories he finds in mythology, and the experience of the professor in having the tragedy produced and the incidents relating to the anair is the foundation around which the fun of "A Night Off" is built. The trials and tribulations of the professor w. a theatrical manager on one hand and his wife on the other keep the old man in hot water, and in addition to these troubles, his son-in-law is tormented in turn because his wife finds he has no "past." The appearance of the theatrical manager at unexpected intervals and in strange costumes does not tend to relieve the feelings of the amateur author. The fun continues until the last act, when everything ends as it should. ARE YOU SENDING EAST For all of your friends during the present reduced rates in effect via the Northern Pacific?
