Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT=PIE The Pie-maker regrets to have to take note of the fact that at the President's reception not a single Negro was invited, either directly or indirectly, to participate. In the city of Seattle there are three attorneys at law, one retired army officer, one business man having property conservatively valued at $100,000, and other men in business, and yet the committee, which was made up from a political standpoint, did not see fit to ask a single colored man to have a seat on the grand stand or to be present at the banquet or in any wise meet his excellency. Those having charge of the affair seem to have been determined that there would be no Booker Washington episodes in Seattle, and they carried out the program to perfection. The personnel of the committee is well known, and an accurate list is in the possession of the Pie-maker, and from time to time when they individually or collectively come before the public for favors the Pie-maker will not forget to "Remember the Maine." \* \* \* There is a very bright newspaper correspondent in Seattle, who occasionally writes communications to the Whatcom Reveille, that is whenever he can swipe a Seattle Republican to furnish him food for thought. The following article which is nothing more or less than a rehash of articles which have appeared in these columns from time to time, and which every reader of this paper will at once recognize, is a fair sample of the wit and wisdom of this particular bright correspondent: The Republican nominee for governor next summer will be a King county man, was the prediction made to your correspondent not many days ago by a man who for ten years past has been one of a score of Republican leaders in Washington who have invariably had a strong hand in shaping the party's policy and in selecting its nominees. Commenting on the above article the Mt: Vernon Argus, which has recently crawled into the Republican fold out of the slums of Demo-Popism, speaks as follows: Then follows a lengthy statement of the political situation as it exists today, with all the complications that arise from the fact that both King and Pierce PRESIDENTIAL OBSERVATIONS If it be true that the President carries a pistol in his overcoat pocket it but further demonstrates what has been so often said about him, that he was not only able but could take care of himself under any and all circumstances. The mere fact that the President rode out to Fort Lawton with George Lamping will doubtless be the death of that measly individual, for he will try to get on the outside of half of the "bad stuff" in the town celebrating his good luck. The weather man certainly issued a special order for the weather, which we served during the President's visit in Seattle. It was simply ideal and without exaggeration not less than 150,000 persons were on Seattle's streets to see the only Teddy. *** Other presidents of the United States, who have swung around the circles, may have covered more territory than has President Roosevelt, but it is dollars to doughnuts that none of them ever met as many of the citizens of the country as has he. . . . Tacoma tried awfully hard to have the President believe that Bremerton was a suburb of that old sleepy town, but the naval officers gave him to understand that such was a mistake and that Bremerton was dependent on Seattle in every respect. --- While passing through the State of Washington the President saw more varied industries and different sources of wealth than he perhaps saw in other states on his long line of travel. Washington state is a hummer and the world is rapidly finding that out. Tacoma's program of trying to monopolize the President while in this state and to prevent him from seeing Seattle only at night was partially carried out, but when the President did get here he saw more in a minute than he could have seen in a month had he have remained in Tacoma that long. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1903 counties hope to name the next United States senator. This article is but one of the many signs that indicate the intense interest taken even this early in the season in the political campaign for next year. "Who will be the next governor?" and "who will be the next United States senator?" are the interesting problems that time will solve. In the article already mentioned the names of Dr. Smith, president of the state senate, Chas. I. Roth and Geo. H. Bacon are mentioned prominently as aspirants for gubernatorial honors. There are names quite as prominent that the Whatcom correspondent has not seen fit to include in his list, but not doubt each one has his own favored list of probable candidates for governor next year, and more to the point, his favored candidate. But most of us, unlike the Seattle correspondent, are a little bit backward about prophpesying so long in advance. After all Governor McBride got more out of the visit of the President to the state than did the legislative committee, which was made up with the avowed intention of seeing to it that the governor be snubbed completely during the President's stay in the state. It was a courtesy due the governor that the President be his guest while in the state and the President was too much Roosevelt to throw precedent aside to please jarring factions. The committee was informed in Portland that only the governor would be permitted on the President's special car, and this was the first intimation that the committee had received that the governor had won out in the mighty political scrap, and won out without the governor making any effort to do so. Regardless of one's personal feelings in the matter, it was right and proper that the governor, whether he be Republican, Democrat or Populist, be the custodian of the President while in the state, and the Pie-maker is truly glad that the President did not overturn the usual political customs in such cases, but recognized the chief executive of the state as the head of affairs and the proper person for him to look to. *** The latest bit of political gossip, don't you know, is that Chief of Police Sullivan is to soon turn in his commission and thereafter not even be a common policeman, but must blow out onto the cold charities of the world and struggle to make a living just like the ordinary human being. The guns of criticism have been firing rather regular on Chief Sullivan for the past three months and Tom Humes is not the man The President's race suicide letter has no doubt caused a great commotion. Some people claim there are two sides to the question. It is a little too early to judge as to just what the people think about the matter. This is not an Adam and Eve contest—one cannot blame the other, that is sure. * * * With the inscription over their booth, "Remember San Juan," and with many merry voices singing "There will be a hot time in the old town," which it is predicted will soon become the national air of this country, the colored children of this city got a double courtesy from the President as he was passing. \*\*\* During the President's long trip through the West it remained for a policeman in Walla Walla to be the only person (?) to offer him an insult, showing very conclusively that the average policeman is so much of a brute that he does not know how to even be courteous to the President of the United States. * * * Wherever President Roosevelt ran on to any of the colored troops which helped him to save the day at San Juan Hill, he always insisted that they hold the place of honor in his parades and his wish was granted. If there had perchance been a company of the colored boys in Seattle the President would have had a disagreeable task on his hands to have had his wishes carried out as it was in the other cities. *** Some one tells a story on Dr. Mathews, which, if true, is quite amusing. The story goes that His Holiness wrote to his old Tennessee congregation after he had been in Seattle on trial for a couple of months tendering his resignation, writing the following very unique communication: Brothers and Sisters," wrote he to the hard fisted illiterate farmer folk who had never been further from home than to the mill and blacksmith shop, to big meetin' and the circus las' winter, "I can't stand that position any longer. It seems to me that the Lord doesn't love that people for he never takes any of you to heaven only with Historical Society LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS to stay by an appointee if he thinks that it is going to cost him any of his popularity. It will be remembered that Tom Humes asked Bill Meredith for his resignation as soon as he thought Meredith had been caught, although caught at the very things that Humes set him to doing. Now Sullivan is to go in the same way as did Meredith on the "you are killing me" pretext. Sullivan may deserve dismissal, but the way it is being brought about smacks strongly of cowardice. *** Sullivan may be guilty of a great many sins of both commission and omission since he has been chief of police, but the Pie-maker is inclined to think the day that Reber is appointed chief of police of Seattle it will be the worst mistake that has ever been made in this city, and that is saying a good deal. Reber is a man who does not show common courtesy to other men; he is a man that is so badly stuck on himself that he absolutely forgets whether he is living in a metropolitan city or in the famous subterranean garden in which Aladdin of the Arabian Nights story found himself entombed. If appointed it will mean George U. Piper will again direct the destinies of this city and again extort tribute from the vicious. Worst of all, Reber has been known ever since he has been in the city as a Democrat. Finally, he has no more fitness for the position of chief of police of Seattle than has a Hottentot from the jungles of Central Africa. More in the future will be said about this prospective chief of police. *** There is still another piece of political gossip in this connection that will doubtless be news to the general public, nevertheless true, and it is none other than that E. L. Reber, at present city editor of the Post-Intelligencer, is to succeed John Sullivan as chief of police. Reber has very poor health and must do some kind of outside work, and this position has been selected for him. There is no doubt as to the genuineness of this piece of political gossip, for its a tip straight from the powers that be. Mayor Humes is desirous of throwing Sullivan down, he is friendly to Reber and favors his appointment, in doing so it is also declared he will be pleasing the P.-I., and desiring a re-nomination and election, he is inclined to do most anything that will bring him favor from that source. It, therefore, can be readily seen that there is more than a grain of truth in the statement. And it is here predicted that in less than thirty days more Reber will be at the helm instead of Sullivan. your boots on. It doesn't seem to me that you love one another, for nobody ever gets married. I never had a wedding fee while I was among you. It doesn't seem to me that you loved your pastor, for you never paid his salary in full. You eked it out with poor potatoes and wormy apples and by your fruits ye shall be know them. Now I am in a better place, where I get a hundred dollars a month, and sometimes get it in advance. Whither I am now I would not advise you to come, for white folks and niggers all go to church and school together. It's hard but for the sake of the salary I'll tough it out, so farewell forever." \* \* \* Of course the Presidential parade wouldn't have fulfilled expectations if it hadn't raised its quota of teapot tempests over various points of form and preference. For instance, the Southerner wants to know why did President Roosevelt give a Negro regiment of cavalry the place of honor in the line of march when there were plenty of white soldiers available? The reasons given are numerous. The more rabid declare that the black fellows were put at the head of the procession by the direct order of the President, who wished to keep up his pose on the race question. It is a matter of history, however, that the Negro horsemen who succeeded the Presidential carriage are the Ninth regiment, the same fellows who saved the Rough Riders from extermination in Cuba. By some it is supposed that Roosevelt gave these men the place of honor because of gratitude as well as to satisfy his inborn love of the dramatic. Those familiar with military affairs, however, give another interpretation to the prominence of the Ninth cavalry in Tuesday's demonstration. It is said that the Black Ninth is the only crack body of horsemen on the coast at present, and as the chief executive is a lover of the man on horseback, the Ethiopian guard was pressed into service for the parade. Be these things as they may, the display which these fellows made on Market street was the most impressive military drill ever seen in San Francisco.—Town Talk, May 16, 1903.

Seattle's Private and Public Parks Kinnear Park Seattle Wash Jun 17 922 MADE 62 LOCKPARK --- While public interest is being directed to the question of parks, drives, and public play grounds, it may be of interest to note briefly what Seattle already has in this line. Beginning with Pioneer Square, the little triangle tract, which stands as an oasis in green in the desert of tall buildings and business rush in the heart of the city. Surrounded by an iron fence and guarded by the totem pole, it affords a feast for the eye, if not a rest for the foot, and is not without its value. Then there is Seattle Park, containing about five acres, located on Denny Way and Ninth Avenue North; Kinnear Park, located on Queen Anne Hill, contains six acres, more or less; Lincoln Park, on East Denny Way and Nagle Place, comprising several blocks, but a portion is set aside for water reservoir purposes; Volunteer Park, contains forty acres, located on Capitol Hill, east of Lake Union, a portion of which is also used as a water reservoir. These are all nicely improved, according to the usual custom, with walks, drives, grass plots, trees, flour beds, shrubbery, etc., and afford pleasant resorts for those whose dignity or austerity forbids the unbending or relaxation that brings the best results to those who are capable of communing with nature in nature's own way. They are faultlessly kept, rare shrubs and plants are there to gladden the eye, the grass is beautifully green and well kept, the walks are models of neatness, but to the rolicking, healthy, growing boys and girls, these parks are practically useless, for everywhere over the greensward and in the delightfully cool and inviting nooks is planted that unsightly and unwelcome sign, "Keep off the grass." These "keep off the grass" parks, no doubt have their value, but how little compared to what they would be if a bonfire were made of those signs and the parks thrown open for use as well as to look at. To be sure the grass could not be kept quite so nice if trampled upon by myriads of little feet, but what is that to compare to the delights and health that the liberty of the grounds would bring to the children of the city. Shrubbery, trees and flowers could be protected, but give the children right of way over the grassy portions. Woodland Park, containing about two hundred acres of land, in the northern portion of the city, is only partly improved, a portion is in a state of nature, and the "keep off the grass" restrictions do not apply, hence is more of an ideal recreation ground. Added to this the fact that it reaches to and borders upon Green Lake, where fishing, bathing and boating may be enjoyed, makes this a popular and valuable resort. Besides these the city owns unimproved tracts as follows: Washington Park, containing eighty-one acres, on Union Bay; Queen Anne Hill tract, containing five acres; Beacon Hill Park, containing one acre, and the City Park, in the southern part of the city, which contains one hundred and twenty-five acres. It is to be hoped that these parks may be improved, in part at least, that they may be made available for use as speedily as possible. Besides these there are various private parks and public resorts that are open to the public, more freely than are some of the city parks. Of these Leschi, Madrona and Madison Parks on Lake Washington, maintained by the street car company as feeders to the lines reaching them, are popular, well kept, and pleasant resorts. Ravenna Park, Green Lake Park, Y. M. C. A. Park, Old University grounds, near heart of city, the State University grounds, and Fort Lawton, come in for recognition under the head of public resorts, and all together give a variety and area equal to the demands at the present time. But as our duty rests not with the present, but for the future, we cannot as a city afford to stop where we are. Remove or close the private parks and Seattle would at once be short of park facilities adequate to her needs; hence the duty is upon us to not only improve what we now have, but to add to the area by the accession at least of numerous small tracts to be used not as "keep off the grass" lawns and flower gardens, but, as Mr. Olmsted suggests, play grounds for the children. Veritable relaxation and rest places for old and young scattered here and there about the city, near by the homes of the people. We do not feel the need of these so much, just now, possibly, with quite an amount of property yet unoccupied; but the time is rapidly coming when we will, and then it will be too late to get many ideal lots and blocks now available. This is a matter that the city council should address itself to with vigor. Present valuation of park lands, owned by the city, without considering improvements thereon, is fixed at a little over $500,000. Municipal Play Grounds Desirable. Mr. John Olmsted, the municipal park expert now in this city, while possibly a little extravagant in his ideas, yet preaches a wholesome doctrine, in that he urges recreation grounds for the children. In our mad rush for fortune and to make everything bend to the getting of the dollar, in our larger cities, we seem to have forgotten the children, or to make proper provision for their physical growth and health. To be sure, we have our suburban parks, but how seldom do the children in the heart of a great city get to them. What is needed, according to Mr. Olmsted's idea, is playgrounds, where those deprived, by whatever cause, of other space than the public streets, can daily resort and be children in the good old fashioned way. Some provision for the physical and moral training of children is as much a duty of the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. community as is the intellectual. Children must have recreation; force them to find it in the public streets and the moral standing of the future citizen is lowered. A little closer attention to the making of good citizens out of the rising generations, to safeguard them from becoming physical and moral wrecks, a benefit, instead of a hinderance in the advancement of the community is a part of the duty man owes to his fellowman. J. Pierpont Responsible. It is stated that J. Pierpont Morgan is the "power behind the throne" that would force the nomination of Grover Cleveland again for the presidency. When it is remembered that Mr. Morgan's entry into the world of larger financial doing, dates from the time Mr. Cleveland, as president, gave into his hands the selling of $150,000,000 in United States bonds, out of which deal he, Morgan, is said to have made $18,000,- Kinnear Park. Bicycle Path. Leschi Park. 000, it is not surprising that Morgan would be anxious to have his patron saint again in office. It would seem, however, that Morgan is rich enough now to be satisfied without trying to force the country again into such conditions as prevailed when Cleveland found it necessary to sell bonds to pay the ordinary running expenses of the government, even if he might thereby make a few more millions. * * * "I am for men," is a Henry George saying and is being extensively used in advertising a five-cent cigar named after the great single taxer. If the cigar is as impracticable and unsuited to the average American as the pet theory of the great apostle, no doubt that the great amount of advertising is necessary to accomplish its general use. Realm of Religion (Continued from last week.) WHY THE BIBLE FINDS A WELCOME MARK In reason is because the human heart is not in God, and is an aching void without Him. But the Bible does no violence to the individual; it does not proselyte, it is not mercenary. The Bible gets is under favorable circumstances for it, opens and invites it to speak. In scarce—and they are many—reading man's object of careful interest. Moreover, such sacred books, and are prepared to examine a vergence a volume which claims to contain the Christendom.

It is a remnant Muir has shown, that the Koran, whenusions to the Old and New Testaments, as authoritative and divinely inspired, before, can feel offended at a copy of the B WHY THE BIBLE FINDS A WELCOME. The main reason is because the human heart is made for fellowship with God, and is an aching void without Him. Another reason is that the Bible does no violence to the individual. It does not intrude, it does not proselyte, it is not mercenary. The hearing that the Bible gets is under favorable circumstances—when one is ready for it, opens and invites it to speak. In lands where literature is scarce—and they are many—reading matter of any kind is an object of careful interest. Moreover, such lands have their own sacred books, and are prepared to examine with respect and even reverence a volume which claims to contain the sacred teachings of Christendom. This is especially true in the vast lands of Confucius, of the Vedas, and of the Koran. Many of these millions, whose prejudices do not allow them to enter a church or associate with a missionary, will gladly secure a portion of the Holy Scriptures when given a chance. It is a remarkable fact, as Sir Willian Muir has shown, that the Koran, which contains scores of allusions to the Old and New Testaments, always refers to them as authoritative and divinely inspired. No Mohammedan, therefore, can feel offended at a copy of the Bible, or fear to read it. TRANSLATING THE BIBLE FOR THE PHILIPPINES. Rev. J. C. Goodrich, Agent, Manila, and Native Assistants. HOW THE BIBLE GOES. orld's need of the Bible and the duty of r Few have any idea how great is the ta one. The Bible must be translated—and there a many of them crude and unspiritual. The translation must be printed and mad The world's need of the Bible and the duty of meeting it is clear to all. Few have any idea how great is the task and how it is being done. First. The Bible must be translated—and there are hundreds of languages, many of them crude and unspiritual. Second. The translation must be printed, and made into books, often at great expense, only a very small part of which can be borne by the poor and half-enlightened people. Third. The books must be brought to the attention and put within the reach of the people. This requires a large force of Bible sellers and colporteurs, wisely directed. It is a work essential to the success but beyond the resources of the missions of the various denominations working separately; and it would be unfortunate for them to bring out sectarian Bibles, if they could. All Christian and business-like considerations demand, therefore, that, for giving the Bible itself to the world. Christians of every name should co-operate in a special organization, above and beyond denominational lines. This was clearly foreseen in 1816, and led to the formation of the American Bible Society, to serve as the channel through which the Bible lovers of America could pass it on to the destitute, both in our own land and throughout the world. THE WORLD'S DEMAND FOR THE BIBLE. It is great, and rapidly growing. Voltaire, who died in 1777, prophesied that within a hundred years the Bible would be an unknown book. The number of volumes of Holy Scripture that come from the press now every twelve months is about eight million, more than the total number that saw the light during the first eighteen centuries after Christ. The Bible, which in Voltaire's day existed in only thirty-eight tongues, is now being read, in whole or in part, in over four hundred. One hundred and fifty of these languages were for the first time reduced to writing by Bible translators. The chief instruments, under God, for meeting this great need have been the Bible societies, of which the American and the British and Foreign are foremost. They co-operate to the fullest degree, but thus far the British society has been able to do a work more than twice as large as the American. Here is an "open door" that challenges America's most noble enterprise. With the years, the American Bible Society has gained in strength, wisdom and opportunity. For the first period of twenty-five years, 1816-1841, it issued 2,798,366 volumes; in the second, 18,987,210; in the third, 32,478,138; and for the fourth period would reach 50,000,000, at the present rate of about 2,000,000 a year. This rate, however, is far from meeting the pressing calls to which, with God's blessing, America will respond more and more generously. The real basis of business, the capital of the country, is the confidence one man has in the word of another, that certain goods or service rendered are what they are represented to be. The truth of this statement is found in the fact that ninety-five per cent. of the business of the country is done on credit, or on the confidence in the integrity of man, while only five per cent. is on a cash busis. Consequently every man who disregards his word or obligation, causing others to lose confidence in him, destroys the business capital of the community to that extent. And most men, having done this, have but little left to do business upon. Certainly we print legal notices. Call up Main 305 if you have one for publication.

Your luvin sun, MIKE DOOGAN. That the average policeman is more brute than human is ever apparent, if you happen to have any dealings whatever with one or many, either private or public. A policeman, while the crowd was waiting for the President to arrive at the opera house last Saturday evening felt called upon to speak to an aged woman and a little boy in a way that the husband and father of the child had he happened to have ovreheard him, would have been perfectly justified in shooting the brute down without further cause or provocation. Bremerton Again Disciplined. The town of Bremerton is again on the rack, a few months ago it was told to clear up the moral atmosphere and rid itself of some, at least, of its saloons and dives or no more vessels would be sent there for repair. A sickly effort was made to comply; then the city council, seemingly thinking the department was joking, repented of having attempted to reform, and after a few weeks restored the old order of things. Later events have proven that the navy department means business, and proposes to look after the interests of the service by seeing to it that temptation is kept from the sailor boys, and have again ordered Bremerton to be good. If they refuse, but few, if any, vessels will be sent there for repair. It is a matter in which the whole Northwest is vitally interested.

Animals that will take part in the races have been daily arriving until there are at present 450 of the best and most blooded horses in the West stalled on the grounds ready for the opening day. These horses all have splendid records and are worth any one's while to visit the fair grounds to see them. Many improvements about the grounds have been made and not less than TWO HUNDRED NEW STALLS have been added. These improvements have all been completed and all of the stalls are either already occupied or are engaged for the entire season. Judge Horace H. Egbert, the presiding judge of the races as well as general racing manager, is already here and is rapidly arranging every detail for the big event, and this is said advisedly, for it will certainly be the biggest event of its kind ever seen in the Northwest. He can be found at the Association's offices in the Sullivan block every day. The citizens of this county have been asked to suggest an appropriate name for the park, and already thousands of names have been sent in. The one suggesting the most appropriate name for the park is to be awarded a handsome prize. Every King County citizen can guess as often as he or she desires.

The question is simply whether a magnificent navy yard, with all that it means to the Puget Sound country shall be built up, or whether a few hell holes of vice shall be allowed to exist for the debauching of the luckless boys who will have the misfortune to be ordered there, while it shall remain simply a dry dock for the repair of a vessel, now and then, that cannot be sent elsewhere. The President's Visit President Roosevelt has come and gone. Seattle did herself proud in his reception and entertainment and feels highly honored for the privilege thus accorded her, not only because he is the President, and its people, in common with all citizens, honor the position he occupies; but they were delighted to honor the man, for his personal worth as a citizen. To have seen the President, and to have seen the man, Theodore Roosevelt, will be a pleasant memory that will linger long with those thus privileged. To the comparative limited number who were able to hear, as well as see, him, that memory will be even more pleasant. Perhaps no more comprehensive expression of the doctrine of the President as preached throughout the length of his long journey can be given than is found in the words of Governor Henry McBride in introducing him to the citizens at Olympia: "Of course, as the nation's head, we delight to honor him; but aside from his great office he has, as a man, won our highest respect and admiration. His is the gospel of a broad Americanism—of a sturdy, self-reliant, incorruptible citizenship—of a devotion to duty for duty's sake. His is the creed of high endeavor, of fidelity to the people, of the sacred performance of every promise made in public as well as in private life. His words, exemplified by his actions, make but scant comfort to the venal or to the time-serving or to those who would place themselves above the law, but they have struck a responsive chord in the hearts of the great American people, coming to them as an invigorating breeze."

For years it has seemed to be the tendency to get away from such doctrine, and many in high places have not dared to raise such sentiments; but when this man, exceptional in so many ways, comes preaching the old time-honored principles of good citizenship, honest living, brotherly love, hard work, for work's sake, etc., it truly has struck a responsive chord, and cannot but bring forth good fruit.

TERMS There is a misteriousness about the action of the council in refusing to grant Dr. De Soto the use of a portion of an unused water front street for the erection of a hospital which will amount to a charity institution on the part of the donors, that is quite different from the mysteriousness that prevailed at the time the same council was so anxious to grant the Yaw garbage franchise. Possibly their delay is caused by a philanthropic desire to learn more about that particular gold mine, the proceeds of which have been set aside for the benefit of this proposed hospital.

This is not so and can never be so. Women cannot successfully rear families by proxy. They cannot turn over their children to nurses, governesses and school teachers. Many women do this, however, and society here and there gathers the dragon teeth in the harvest of chimes against society and moral laws. Work is the greatest moral force in the world. Mothers who desire to see their children happy, to see them worthy members of society, hold fast to the doctrine of labor.—Ex.

Angell in "Our Dumb Animals." He says: "Avoid all public displays of wealth which tend to make the poor more dissatisfied with their condition. Spend what you can afford in public charities, and when possible, make your employees interested in your business by giving them annually a share of your net profits. Do to the deserving poor whenever and wherever you meet them precisely what you would like to have them do to you if they were rich and you were poor." YES SIR! HERE'S THE BEER, SIR!

From press dispatches it is learned that that Indianapolis chambermaid who refused to clean up the hotel room which was occupied by Prof. Booker T. Washington, on the grounds that it was below the dignity of a white woman to work for a Negro, and was promptly discharged by the proprietor for insubordination, has been heroined by the Southern people, and in their misguided enthusiasm have already made her up a purse of $2500, and, so widespread has become the comment, that that amount may be doubled in the near future, and thereby be the means of the woman going into the hotel business herself, and then as willing to entertain Mr. Washington at $5 and $10 a day as the other fellow. But after all what egregious asses must those Southern people be to get caught by such a corse gold brick trick as that. Dollars to doughnuts that that chambermaid is a shrewd Yankee woman and fell upon that particular plan to pick up a little easy money. "The South is anti-Negro mad," reasoned she to herself. "Now Booker Washington, the noted Negro educator, who was dined by the President of the United States, is in this house, if I will refuse to clean up his room and then be insolent enough to the proprietor to get fired, I may make a hit with the Southern folk and in some way get idolized." If such were her plans they worked well and the Southern damphools have been handed a gold brick such as would make the most noted swindler turn green with jealousy. Doubtless many who have and are contributing to that fund are poor devils, who never saw that much money at once, but are being agged on by unprincipled scoundreds, who use all such opportunities to keep themselves in control of affairs throughout the South by arraying the poor whites and the blacks against each other. Big Bijeddy Biles Over. Editor Bijeddy, of the Olympia Capital, is in sore distress lest one Rev. Davidson flood Tacoma with Negro help from the South and thereby transplant some of the much mooted race problem from the South to the City of Destiny. Just what prompts Editor Eddy to take such undue interest in the future happiness of those Tacoma families who are offering excellent wages for colored help is more than the most fertile mind can either surmise or imagine, unless it be that he knows those colored cooks and house servants will, one month with another, have more clear money to either put into savings banks or to spend for their pleasure than he, and in either case it would be like gaul and wormwood to "poor white trash" such as is Editor Eddy, for should he ever get a whole thousand dollars in his hands at once he would be similar to a Mississippi clay eater, who declared that "if I had that much money I would neither stay here nor anywhere else, but would go down on the river and walk about." Do not be alarmed, neighbor, colored folk in no very great numbers are going to leave the South and come this far West, but if they do there is penty and "more as plenty" for them all to do, and there will be no great clash of races either only when the Negro comes in contact with the class of human cattle of which you are a brilliant representative. \* \* \* Unfair Newspaper Reports. The United States owes much of its marvelous growth since the old colonial days to the aptness of its people in casting off the old and adopting the new. This can be traced all along the line of its growth, and is, in fact, almost synonymous with the word Americanism. And yet, would it be human if Americans did not fail to release the old in some things, in other words, were perfect in their principles and practices? Whether so or not the enterprising vim with which they adopt the new thoughts of the day, from scientific improvement to broader fields for human elevation, can be equaled by nothing save the tenacity with which their prejudice against the Negro sticks. The Home Supplement of the Sunday Inter Ocean, May 10, had a beautifully colored illustrated page under the title of "Babies the Whole World Over." It was a thing of beauty. Babies from every land. Babies of every nation and in each instance with the bare exception of one nude heathen tot the babies were dressed in clothes characteristic of the children of the wealthier class of their nationality. But when the artist came to the Negro girl he reached back over a span of forty odd years and before the other babies, the chief figure of observation, placed what some would term "A plantation picaninny. That is not now the typical Negro child and if he wished to draw his pictures from yesterday instead of today, for the Caucasian American baby, he would have used a similar portrait as that which portrays the sweet chubby face—the colonial type of "Baby Stuart." The tendency to tread in old lines was more quickly observed be- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN cause the picture represented that stage in life where all is pure and free from guile, just a little ahead of the time when the mind of the child is ready to grasp those ideas of life which are to so greatly influence it in after years. Hot Time National Air. Prof. George Edwards of the Northwestern University is of the opinion that "A Hot Time in the Old Town" is, in the near future, to be the national American air. He declares the music of "Hot Time" to be in perfect accord with the Yankee spirit and that no other tune is so full of action and so well calculated to arouse enthusiasm. "A Hot Time" was ringing in the soldiers' ears amid the bursting of shot and shell as that famous charge was made up San Juan hill; "A Hot Time" was played when the dauntless U. S. soldiers entered Pekin, and in the far-away Philippines, today, it is "A Hot Time" they are singing. These facts form the basis for Professor Edwards' prophecy that it is only a question of time when the air will become national. Can Work as Well as Play. An accomplished colored woman of Georgia has split twenty cords of wood with her own hands and piled it neatly for summer use. "That woman will make a man a smart wife," comments one paper. There is no question about her being a helpmeet in the fullest sense of the word does she some day become the "better half" but has she not burst asunder the delusion which tries to establish the fact that higher education disqualifies the Negro, ties his hands, as it were, for the many laborous yet necessary duties of life. Father of Rag Time. Ernest Hogan, the Negro comedian, is the father of ragtime music. Passa ma la was written by him sixteen years ago and this piece is said to be the first syncopated or rag time composition. Mr. Hogan also furnished syncopated accompaniment which was so much the exceptional in the music world that the leader of the orchestra of an opera house in Kansas City could not play it. Mr. Hogan was working with a gang of men laying asphalt pavement and when their work reached the opera house he took his music in to the manager. Passa ma la was played later, however, played, sung and whistled from one end of the country to the other. Mr. Hogan also wrote "The Phrenologist Coon" and "All Coons Look Alike to Me." A little episode in his own life furnished the basis or inspiration for the latter song. He was attending a ball in Chicago by colored people. At a late hour there was a disturbance so great as to need interference from the police, who commenced arresting indiscriminately. One soon laid hands upon Mr. Hogan, but a brother officer recognized him as the man who had sung at the policemen's benefit the night before and requested that he be not arrested, the reply was: "It makes no difference; all coons look alike to me." The first stanza of this song was written while Mr. Hogan was riding on a street car. In the first three months after it was published he realized from it $26,000. A Reverend Jack Ass. At the Madison Square Presbyterian Church Dr. Parkhurst, in referring to the Negro question in a sermon he was preaching, said: "The Negro ought to be thankful that the institution of slavery existed and such of them as are yet drawn under any other system of government would be better off if the institution still existed." This is indeed surprising, coming from the source from which it does. Even if the stand which Dr. Parkhurst takes is for the good of humanity the route that he takes to reach it is so far wrong as to be outragerously ridiculous. Let us hope he meant that by the means of slavery Africans were brought to this country and after years and years were civilized and Christianized. When he says "and such of them as are not yet drawn under any other system of government would be better off if the institution still existed," let us hope he thought that they would thereby be the sooner civilized and therefore Christianized. But Dr. Parkhurst knows that there is nothing elevating about slavery, knows that although African slavery in the United States may have civilized to some extent it at the same time depressed the best, the noblest, and planted the base, the untrue, in its subjects. He can not but know that slavery caused many a biter tear to drop from the eye and soul stirring sigh to be rung from the heart of the Anglo-Saxon and African mother alike. The one because the morals of her son were being corrupted—a curse which would through the medium of inheritance follow his children's children and she could do nothing to prevent the same; the other mother, because her daughter was being robbed of her chastity—a present curse to herself and offsprings, a future sin (though not her own) to be for years and years thrown in the face of her progeny, and she could do naught to stay the same. It is not necessary to enslave in order to Christianize human beings and there are noble, God-fearing men in this country who will in time spread the knowledge of our Redeemer in every land. As far as the general run of mankind goes, they will give to the poor heathen "over the ocean wave" much sooner than they will to the needy at home. But the Dr. Parkhurst ought to be too much Dr. Parkhurst to have entertained the thoughts he uttered. If he thought it he should not to have said it (and retained his avocation in life), if he must say it he should have waited till he was out of the pulpit and spoken from the standpoint of a man and not from the pulpit as the herald of God's sacred word—his standard bearer in his earthly kingdom. Three-Cornered Fight Evident. Indications point very strongly to a new alignment along political lines in these United States, and the fight during the next few years will be a three-cornered one. What the Republican party will stand for is evident; a continuation of the principal features that have brought prosperity and happiness out of the chaos and want that was so apparent a few years ago, to which will be added some of the personal characteristics of its present leader, Theodore Roosevelt. With the Democratic party—for no doubt that name will continue, even if the policies advocated are kaledioscopic, as usual—it is not so easy to say. If Bryan again controls the party, it is a rash prophet who would attempt to forecast the outcome, but if Cleveland wins, the corporate trust influences will dominate the party; and if this be so it will but intensify and hasten the growth of the third influence, or party, Socialism. There is no use to try to disguise the fact that Socialism is growing in this country. It is the latest edition of that discontented element that has successively held forth as the Anti-Monopoly, the Greenback, the Populist and kindred parties. This class of people, usually un-American and impractical in their governmental ideas, yet strong numerically, are adding to their numbers daily from the ranks of our newly made citizen of foreign birth; and as citizenship entitles to a vote, the policy must be met and suppressed as has its immediate political progenitors. Nothing is doing more, as intimated, to foster and advance the cause of Socialism, outside of our too lax immigration laws, than the action of combined and combining capital in the formation of gigantic trusts, etc. Mark Hanna recently sounded a warning in the ears of Wall street, and it lays in its power, to possibly forestall a Socialist revolution, or to hasten its coming. Will it take heed and act wisely? Time alone can tell. Cleveland Could Not Be Elected. If the money power and corporate influences of the land, which are partisan only to the extent of self interests, succeed in securing the nomination of Grover Cleveland on the Demicratic ticket in 1904. The result at the polls will remind those old enough to remember, of the Grant-Greeley campaign of 1872. The money influence in politics is powerful and hard to overcome, yet the American people are more powerful, and can usually be depended upon to do the right thing. Cleveland, if nominated, would not receive the support of the rank and file of the Democratic party as heretofore constituted, even of those who are not blindly Bryanized. In a choice between Cleveland and Roosevelt. Hundreds of thousands of Democrats would vote for Roosevelt as embodying within himself, more of the principles of Jeffersonian Democracy than does Grover Cleveland; and for similar reasons, that the so-called gold Democrats voted for McKinley four and eight years ago instead of Bryan. Many Democrats have already declared their intentions to vote for Roosevelt regardless of whom the party shall nominate. This proves two things; first, that the cloak of partisanship rests more loosely upon the average citizen than it did a few years ago, and that President Roosevelt, by his straightforwardness, his independence, his broad Americanism and his clear conception of his duties as a citizen and executive, has won the hearts of the people; and that they, regardless of party, admire and appreciate these qualifications. Added to these positive characteristics of the man, is the general unrest because of the growing tendency of corporate wealth to combine and control affairs of state for their selfish ends. These combined will leave it an easy matter to elect Theodore Roosevelt over Grover Cleveland or any many of his class.

An attraction that merits more than passing notice will be seen at the Grand next Sunday night. It is the company that is presenting Wilfred Clarke's comedy, "A Wise Woman." This play which the London critics credit with being one of the cleverest farces presented for some time, had a run at the Strand theater, the engagement lasting for 238 nights, during the entire period of which the business was up to a record-breaking point. The fact that the public liked and patronized the play to such an extent is the very strongest kind of endorsement. The presentation of Mr. Clarke's comedy in this country is reported to be meeting with the same remarkable success it had in London, and the further fact that it is being used as a medium for the introduction to the public of one of the most promising candidates for stellar honors that has recently asked for public acknowledgment, makes the production doubly interesting. The candidate referred to is Miss Marie Lamour, the charming comedienne for some seasons past a member of the forces at Daly's theater, New York. The staging of "A Wise Woman" has been done under the personal supervision of Mr. Clarke, whose wide experience and ability in matters of this kind is a strong assurance that the most important part of any production has been well done.

The play has never yet failed to please wherever it has been presented and every corner of England and America has been penetrated with it during the past few years.

Her father had just presented her with an elegant new piano and they went over to help her celebrate the occasion. Some twenty-eight of them were present and a most enjoyable evening was spent. The memorial services at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church on last Sunday evening was largely attended. The principal addresses were delivered by Mr. I. F. Norris and Mr. A. R. Black, who paid glowing tributes to the heroes of the late wars. Miss Clara Threets presided at the piano. The church was tastefully decorated with the national colors, also Haytian, Cuban and English flags were draped on the walls as were portraits of Bruce Douglass, Booker Washington, President Roosevelt, McKinley, Garfield, Lincoln, Grant, Sheridan, John Brown, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.
