Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN BRIEF REVIEW OF PASSING EVENTS The SEATTL VOL. X. NO. 4 BRIEF REV The "Idea." Iowa is fast gaining a reputation for "ideas" equal to that which Kansas has for eccentricities. Governor Cummings evolved an idea for tariff revision, by the Republican party, that was correct in theory, but the unanimous opinion of party leaders is that the time is not yet ripe for its application. Now the Democratic party of Iowa, in convention assembled, have an "idea." This comes as a surprise, in view of the fact that for some years they have been practically void of any original ideas, being content to follow as closely in the wake of the progressing Republican party as possible; trying to gain desired ends by the method employed by certain patent medicine and food product proprietors, "Just as good as." But Iowa Democrats have come out with a real, live—in fact, a brilliant idea, and that is, their "only hope for success is in making their party as unlike the Republican party as possible." While this is a brilliant idea, it is by no means a new one. It is simply a proposal to return to the position formerly held by that party of negation before it went populist, i. e., wait until the Republican policy is announced, then take the other horn of the dilemma. If the party will adopt this idea and adhere to it, it will simplify the situation very much. The position of the parties will then be well defined on the questions at issue, and campaigns will be conducted more on lines of principle or policy, and not for spoils. Still Punching a Dead One. W. J. Bryan, in the columns of his paper, remarks: "These gold standard organs that are trying to explain the recent rise in the price of silver studiously avoid giving the real reason—increased demand." Mr. Bryan is begging the question, having set up a man of straw, he seems to think it incumbent upon him to keep probing it in the vain effort to keep himself convinced that it is not a dead one. Silver, like any other commodity, is subject to the law of supply and demand (which law is still in force, our late populist friends never having succeeded in having it repealed). Some years ago the Republican party, to stimulate a growing industry, that of silver mining, passed a law requiring the purchase of a certain amount of silver bullion each month. This stimulated mining until the output was enormous and the government nearly bankrupted itself in the purchase of bullion before the silver purchasing law was repealed. When the government ceased to be a purchaser, the price dropped very low, as is always the case when supply exceeds demand. In consequence the output was reduced; but time and prosperous conditions has consumed the excess to such an extent that prices are again advancing. There is no one better pleased over this than the "gold standard organs" Mr. Bryan refers to. It is an argument in support of the theory always advanced by these organs, and they are pleased to see the price of silver advance, as it means a new stimulus to the silver mining industry. With the amount of silver required in the marts of trade, as subsidiary coin in these prosperous times, together with that used in the arts, a demand for this commodity is created that is very encouraging to the mining industry. As more silver, in quantity and in proportion to population, is now in use, than ever before, most people have long since recognized a fact that Mr. Bryan will probably never admit, and that is, that the true friend of silver is the "gold standard" party. Mayor Campbell Not a Candidate. Along with other spontaneous and entirely unsolicited attentions, polite and otherwise—mostly otherwise—Mayor Campbell is receiving these times, his alleged political aspirations quite naturally come in for a fair share of notice. In last Saturday's News a correspondent who had gone all the way to Seattle for the information, gave out the intelligence that Mr. Campbell wants to be a congressman. The story is not new, but as it has absolutely no foundation in fact it was scarcely worth exploiting here even as a side winder. That Mayor Campbell would be an exceptionally strong candidate will be conceded by all except those who have tried to use him for the advancement of their own personal schemes and failed—in fact, the Republican party has no better quality of timber anywhere than Louis D. Campbell. He is no --- VOL. X. NO. 4 The "Idea." SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1903 cheap gallery faker, his personal reputation is of the highest order, his record both in his private and public career is of the cleanest, and few will question his entire fitness to represent this state well and worthily in the halls of congress. But the New Herald can state on the very best authority, that of Mayor Campbell himself, that he is not only not a candidate for a congressional nomination, but that under no circumstances would he accept such nomination if it were tendered him. Just now Mr. Campbell is occupying himself in his official position looking after the interests of the city of Tacoma, and will continue to do so until the close of his present term. Whether he shall continue to serve the public after that is a matter for the future to determine. There had been considerable speculation during two or three months past as to who will be chosen for the mayoralty next year, but, as a prominent citizen remarked a few days ago, the monopolistic elements which are working to corral the city's best interests, both present and prospective, have only to continue their efforts and Mayor Campbell will succeed himself.—Tacoma New Herald. Plan to Settle Labor Strikes. A most important labor movement was started in New York on June 5. It originated with the Employers' Association of the Building Trades, which for many weeks had been at war with building mechanics of every grade in New York and other principal cities. The men were asked to agree to the formation of a permanent joint board of arbitrators. The board is to be composed of two representatives each of the unions and the employers. It is proposed that all questions shall be submitted to the board, the members of which shall have no direct interest in the question at issue. This scheme eliminates all intermediaries and does away with the "walking delegate." The arbitrators must be disinterested and will not subsequently be discriminated against by employers. The plan provides for a general arbitration board and court of appeals. Late estimates show that the building shutdowns cost over $13,000,000 in wages in thirty-two days following the inception of the strike.—Collier's Weekly. The Destructive Elements. Floods, tornadoes, forest fires and cloudbursts everywhere. No part of the country seems to have escaped some one of the dreadful calamities that mark the month of June as a black month for disaster. In the East forest fires have devastated woodlands of Canada, New York, New Jersey and a large portion of New England. A dismal pall of smoke for days blanketed 200,000 square miles of territory, choking cities and halting steamships six hundred miles out at sea. These extraordinary conditions were induced by drouth which for nearly two months existed over that locality, and doing much damage to agriculture. In many places men, women and children had to fight for their lives and property for weeks. Navigation was suspended on the great lakes and in New York a water famine was brought on. Unusual floods in different parts of the west and south have cost millions of money, in loss of property, and many lives. Fierce tornadoes have visited the cotton belts of the south, and destroyed much property and over one hundred lives. Even in our own unusually peaceful west, high waters and cloudbursts have wrought havoc, until it looks as though the elements were combined to obliterate man and all his works. Cardinal Gibbons on Labor Unionism. "The struggle between capital and labor in the United States is a source of great sorrow and uneasiness to me just now," he said. "It is not only a serious interruption of productive energies of the country, but it is a profound social upheaval—it is confusing our life. Here we are on this continent engaged in the supreme experiment of free government in the presence of the whole world, in the presence of history. The enemies of our institutions can snap their fingers at the republic if we show that we cannot govern ourselves reasonably. We claim that we have liberty without license and authority, without despotism. I do not want to live to see that claim discredited. The workingmen of America should realize how deeply and directly they are interested in preserving from injury the reputation of the United States as a land where liberty and law go hand in hand. The corporations, the employers, are powerful and united. They have the government behind them to protect their rights. This is as it should be. The workingmen have formed unions for mutual improvement and protection. They are as much entitled to combine for business purposes as are their employers. The fact is undeniable. They are equally entitled to have their rights defended by the government. "The third factor in this situation is the non-union workingman. He, too, has his rights, which must be maintained. He has the right to enter a union or stay out of it; to sell his labor when and where and for what price he pleases. When the union labor man denies that right he denies a liberty which he claims for himself. The union men say they cannot succeed in their struggle for good wages and better conditions so long as there are workingmen outside of their organization who can be used by employers to break strikes—that the unions are for the benefit of all who toil. Then they should give non-union men an opportunity to freely choose. They should get members by attraction and not by compulsion. The very fact that a man feels that he is not free to enter or stay out of a union may be enough to repel him. "The American workingman loves his freedom better than anything else. That is one of his finest traits. He resents anything that means compulsion of his rights. It is time for thoughtful labor union men to recognize this fact. I am strongly opposed to the boycott and to every other form of oppression employed against free labor. The whole force of organized society, all the powers of government, should be employed to insure to every man in this country his right to toil in his own way and under conditions of his own choice. It is difficult to indicate a solution of the labor question. Arbitration is one way, and a good way. But whatever the solution may be, it must be one which will recognize individual liberty. No man must be allowed to oppress another man in this country." Negroes in Hawaii. The effort to improve the conditions of the Negro race, or a portion of them, by colonization in the Hawaiian islands, and at the same time supply a demand that exists there for reliable help, by the planters on those islands, has proved a failure, according to the Commissioner of Labor. In the July bulletin, just received, which is devoted to Hawaii, Commissioner Wright says: "There are a few Negroes in Hawaii, a majority of whom have arrived since annexation. About a dozen were brought into the Kohala district in the spring of 1901, and some one hundred of men and their familise were imported from Louisiana and Alabama by Maui planters under a contract by which they were to be paid from $18 to $24 per month, with a bonus of $72 at the end of three years of continuous service. Their passage to the islands were paid by the planters. Of the latter expedition only a few men remained in the fall of 1902, practically none served as field hands. Those who remained were earning salaries varying from $26 a month and board as hospital nurses to $70 a month as policemen. There were five Negro field hands earning $22 a month and quarters in the Kohala district. After the variety and excitement of a long trip across the continent and the Pacific, ending with an entirely new environment and change of climate, the Southern Negroes found it impossible to settle down to plantation routine. The men drifted into towns, found employment there or on ships, and scattered to the four points of the compass. The more industrious and ambitious did not find the same opportunities for acquiring small land holdings or making economic progress in other ways that they had possessed in the South, and their civil and social status was little improved by the change. The minimum wages of field labor in the Texas and Louisiana cane fields are $18 per month and quarters, and the cost of living is far less than in Hawaii. Under these conditions there is no inducement for the Negro to immigrate to the islands. Furthermore a prejudice has always existed in Hawaii against the importation of black labor, which has found voice on at least one occasion in a special resolution of the legislature opposing such immigration.

The action of the civil service commission in sustaining his action, after having investigated the case, does not seem so commendable. Judging from published accounts of the investigation and the evidence produced pro and con, the public will generally believe that, to say the least, it is a case of mistaken identity on the part of the prosecuting witness. \* \* \* Two boys who had run away from the training school and were starting out to make their way in the big world were certainly well equipped for life's battles.

If a man does not conduct within the law he ought to be put out of business, it is not enforced and he is allowed to continue taking what he does by robbing some one; robbed knows that he is being robbed and escaped is no argument in favor of the robber, but it for law enforcement, to protect weak-minded and weak moral persons from those who thirst of their weakness.

Their appeal that if the law is enforced some of the smaller concerns will have to go out of business is not worthy of a moment's consideration. If a man does not conduct his business within the law he ought to be put out of business. If the law is not enforced and he is allowed to continue, he is only making what he does by robbing some one; that the person robbed knows that he is being robbed and enjoys the experience is no argument in favor of the robber, but a further argument for law enforcement, to protect weak-minded, weak-brained and weak moral persons from those who thus take advantage of their weakness. Legitimate business will lose nothing in the passing of the slot machines, and many a nickel, soon accumulated into dollars, will be saved to legitimate trade exchange. The city enlargement committee of the Chamber of Commerce, that have been looking after the matter of extending the cities borders and taking in suburban towns have undoubtedly reached the wisest conclusion and their report embodies the only thing that can be done; and that is wait until the suburbs ask to come in then render them all the assistance necessary. While it would be a great benefit to this city in many ways, to have Ballard and other towns included within its boundaries, yet seattle is already a large city and cannot afford, even for the good the increased population and area would be to her, to enter into a squabble to force, or even to persuade them in, when any considerable portion of their citizens oppose it. Any effort to force them in at any time, will put off the day when they will be willing to consolidate. The time is coming, no doubt when they will ask for consolidation, but until such time the only dignified thing for Seattle to do is to wait, and by a clean, honorable and economic management of public affairs show them by example the advantages, pecuniary and otherwise, of a large vs. a small municipality.

Miscellaneous PATRIOTISM For many years I have carefully studied the popular idea of patriotism, both as a sentiment and as a practical truth. My conclusion is that there exists a great deal of misapprehension, and I feel prompted at this time of special patriotic fervor to present my views. I invite, and even challenge, any of your readers who do not agree with me, to prove that I am in error. 1. There is not in any part of the Bible even a sentence that requires or justifies "patriotism." 2. The sentiment called by this name, like the word which expresses it, is probably of heathen origin. 3. The usual definition of patriotism is "love of country." The man who seeks to learn what this phrase means and to carry out its teachings in his life, attempts a hopeless task. 4. It is an exaggerated form of selfishness, and is one of the devil's most successful devices to deceive and mislead the human race. 5. It is, in fact, a delusive method of inducing a violation of the Sixth Commandment, "Thou shalt not kill," and is practically in opposition to the spirit of the other nine. 6. Ministers and others who teach the co-ordinate obligation of religion and patriotism have no warrant in reason or scripture, and the practice largely accounts for the diminished moral tone and tendency to scepticism among the people. 7. The religious organization which sends missionaries to foreign nations to preach the gospel of peace and good will and the duty of self-surrender and obedience to God, and rests its claims for support on the value of the human soul, and at the same time approves of and advises its members to enlist for war, occupies a position so absurd as to be essentially grotesque. 8. No man has a right to risk his own life, which is a trust for which an account must be rendered, except in the effort to benefit his fellow-men. 9. The claims of the state are inferior to the claims of God, and should be regulated by our relations and obligations to Him.

Hurst presidential boom that it tried to start a few weeks ago; but it is of no use, the “Kernel” will never get a cabinet po- sition by hitching his chariot to yellow Willia’e star. While the city council disregard with impunity the remon- strances of citizens as regards saloon licenses, it is to be hoped they will respect the wishes of the railroad company and not allow saloons at points near the entrances to the tunnel. With subways for railroad traffic and elevated railway lines in our larger Eastern cities, they may be said to have three story streets, The next thing will doubtless be overhead sidewalks and a utilization of the second stories of business houses for shops and trade emporiums, to a greater extent than is now accomplished by convenient elevators : Capitol : Hill...

LUMBER EXCHANGE BUILDING PHONE MAIN 60 A new idea is suggested for the cause of strikes, in the offer of the leaders of the waiters’ strike in Chicago to affect a settle- ment for a little tip of $7,000. Possibly employers have been a little slow in “tumbling to” just what was wanted, through exces- sive modesty on the part of walking delegates, etc., in making their wants known in the plain language of the realm. Some of our Democratic contemps, hoping to offset the effect upon Presidential Roosevelt’s candidacy that is sure to result from a thorough investigation and clearing up of the postal affairs in Washington. are early in the field crying that the whitewash brush is being applied and that the investigation is to stop in the interest of the president’s re-election. While as a matter of fact the in- vestigation is being crowded as rapidly as possible and Roosevelt daily becomes stronger with the people. YOUR PIANO OUR PRICES TERMS ARE THE “OWEST $6.00 Per Month Sherman, Clay & Co. The Heppner disaster, as terrible as it was. is small in the actual destruction of life compared with other disasters of recent years, In the Johnstown flood, a few years ago, 2,500 lost their lives, including ninety-nine whole families, In Galveston in 1900 over 8,000 people perished in a great tidal wave and hurricane, and in the seismic disturbance at St, Pierre, Martinique. a little over a vear ago, about 30,000 people perished. The full list of deaths from the Heppner cloudburst is not yet known, but will probably not exceed 250. The only source of danger to the present prosperous condi- tions is the labor trust. Capital for all sorts of enterprises and established business and manufactories is in abundance, and holders are anxious to give it out in the employment of labor; but the heads of the labor trusts, seemingly unable to stand prosperity, on one pretext or another, are holding up capital to an alarming extent, in their ability to control the labor market. The situation is grave and some of the most farseeing captains of trade and in- dustry look upon the action of labor unions as a menace to the present general prosperity. There is danger ahead wholly within the power of organized labor to avert, but it will never be averted by the rule or ruin policy now in use. In Holy Writ we find something about the man who will not provide for the members of his own household, as being worse than an infidel. Judged by that standard the state of Kansas must rank in that class, and hereafter when the question is asked, “What's the matter with Kansas?” the answer must be, “She is worse than an infidel.” The action of the state legislature in refusing to vote relief and assistance to flood sufferers, while at the same time the communities devastated were asking and receiving help from charitable sources from outside the state, does not speak well for the honor and manhood of the members of the legislature, to say the least. In times of calamity the state should be the first to step in and provide relief to its stricken citizens. THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY * TONG = 8OOOOOO4O44GG00G000R% XE > {| f Yay e?

It seems just a little out of place for the board of regents of the state university to import a man from another state for the position of registrar of that institution, when there is such an abundance of good material within our own borders, We doubt not that Herbert T. Condon, who has been brought from Idaho, for the position, is a capable man, and a valuable accession to the state, yet a wise father looks after the members of his own household before providing for others, No doubt there are grad- uiates of that same institution who would fill the place acceptably, and a little wholesome encouragement given to and proper appre- ciation exhibited for those who have put forth the time and energy required for a course in that popular school, would have heen displayed.

God has a place for each one of us, and a work for each one of us. God does not expect us to fill more than our own place, or to do more than our own work; but each one of us is important in his or her own sphere. All the offerings of the wealthy in the courts of the temple in Jerusalem were well in their time and amount. But the poor widow, who had only her two mites, should not have felt that her gift was unimportant. It seemed as if Jesus sat watching and waiting for that little offering; and the story of her doing her part has been told the world over in the centuries since then, as a lesson and as an inspiration. Even though our part is but a little one, God, as it were, watches and waits for that. Shall it be lacking?—S. S. Times. The attitude of railway magnates toward the liquor habit is one of the encouraging features of the great struggle with the traffic itself. The traffic pays vast sums to railways as freight charges, but in spite of this, superintendents in increasing number are issuing prohibitive commands. One superintendent on the Santa Fe recently discharged some engineers and conductors merely on the ground that they were frequenters of saloons. Not only is drunkenness under ban, but the saloon is tabu. The position is justifiable. The saloon is a menace to safety in travel and its patrons are not to be trusted with trains. We once heard Francis Willard depict in graphic words the effect when public opinion, like a huge elephant, puts a mighty foot on the saloon. That day approaches, and the attitude toward it of men who have great industries in their care is a sign of its advance.—Advocate. Christ was absolutely generous. He was always giving. He loved generosity event to profuseness, even when others called it thoughtless extravagance. The careless wastefulness of the criminal classes he found more tolerable than the grasping, calculating meanness of those who devoured widows' houses. Can we say it too strongly, or too frequently, that meanness is anti-Christ? Nothing in all the world or all the church is so completely alien to Jesus Christ as being selfish, grasping and mean. Not the thief in prison, not the harlot on the street, is further away from Christ than the man who in home, in business, or in the church is avaricious and calculatingly selfish. We put the cross at the center of our faith because we know that being generous even unto sacrifice was at the very center of Christ's life. It must be at the center of the life of the church. There is no other quality by which you will so well know yourself to be Christ's, and so clearly show that to others, as by being generous man or woman.—Selected. Tacoma is one of the youngest cities in the country, yet has what is probably the oldest bell tower in the United States. St. Peter's chapel, in that city, has a bell tower said to be more than 200 years old. When the chapel was built in 1873, a large fir tree standing just in the right place was utilized as a tower. It was sawed off thirty feet above the ground, and a bell was swung in the top. By counting the rings the tree was found to be more than 300 years old. Ivy has been planted at the foot, and now the whole tower is mantled in green. Solomon said: "Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it." It might be said truthfully that the Lord built this part of St. Peter's.—Ex. When a clever author recently asked Dr. Parker how he managed to draw thousands to his City Temple in London simply to hear him talk, he said: "You would understand if you read my library." "Is it such a good one?" asked a listener. "Oh, it's good, bad, indifferent, grand and squalid," answered the mighty talker. "It's everything. It's in underground trains and on 'busses, in aerated tea shops, smart restaurants, at churches, stations, parties, receptions, meetings, jubilees and sick beds; you find it in prisons and boudoirs. The fact is, you can never get away from it. We call it 'human nature,' for want of a better name. I study it—that's why I call it my library. Most men don't, you see. But that's why I'm listened to."—Current Anecdotes. Blessed is the man whose love for Jesus Christ is such that the affairs of the kingdom are his affairs, its welfare is his welfare, its triumphs is his triumph, its failure his shame. Such men make ideal church members. You have not to expend yourself upon them to enlist their interest in any good work. You have only to make clear that Christ wants the thing done and they are alert to bring it to pass. Whatever concerns the church concerns them. What a comfort to the pastor are men of that stamp! And it must be that upon them our Lord looks with peculiar affection, and they are they who shall one day hear his emphatic "Well done!"—P. C. Advocate. He meets us bearing forth our dead hopes through the city's gate; He meets us when our hearts are faint and weary; when we feel the emptiness of all with which this world has sought to cheat our earnest longings for the great, the real and true. He stands beside the bier; He bids us weep no more; He stops our mourning steps; the dead hear Him; hopes of youth, aspiration of heart, dreams of purity, of high service, with which once our spirits kept glad company, but which had withered and sunk and died, as the hot and scorching sun of common life arose upon us—these revive—they turn to Him and He gives them back to us and bids us cherish them for Him.—Bible Studies. In this life there is but one sure happiness—to live for others.—Leo Tolstoi. Seek to cultivate a bouyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life.—Alex. Maclaren. Don't make your friends a dumping ground for our troubles. Keep your woes to yourself and they will grow less. Afro-American AFRICAN IMMIGRATION. An effectual bar seems to have been placed upon the dream of African colonization with American Negroes. No asylum seems to await them there. In Liberia and adjacent territory the deadly coast and jungle fever are effective deterrents. In South Africa, which on account of its salubrious climate and more extended opportunities seemed to be the more desirable, the hope of those who sought to benefit the race had centered; but that must now be abandoned. There is no use to jump from the frying pan into the fire, as the same conditions that prevail in the Southland of this country are beginning to be asserted by the new rulers of the Transvaal, where lately all municipal regulations have been amended to exclude every Negro from participating in local government, even by casting a vote. Minister Lyon's Departure. Rev. Ernest Lyon, of Baltimore, Md., the newly appointed minister to Monrovia, Liberia, West Coast of Africa, has shipped for his new field of labor. He will visit several points in Europe en route. Before leaving America he made arrangements with the State Department by which the legation at Monrovia will be equipped in the most up-to-date fashion, and in keeping with our government. A large quantity of furniture, book cases and international law libraries, typewriters and everything which goes to fit up a legation has already been shipped. Mr. Lyon is one of the best known colored men in the United States, and in addition to being a most gifted divine, is also a shrewd politician and has the confidence and respect of the party leaders, and an orator of ability and effectiveness. His legion of friends expect a good report of him from the dark continent. Noted Leader Gone. Hon. James Hill, editor of the Mississippi State Register, at Jackson, Mississippi, died recently of heart trouble. He was a prominent leader and steadfast in his opinions. He has held some very important and responsible positions in his state. At one time he was postmaster at Vicksburg. He was a good citizen and had the high regard of all. His death is sadly regretted by a large circle of friends. Bishop Walters Weds. Announcement is made of the marriage of Rt. Rev. Alexander Walters, Bishop of the A. M. E. Zion Church and president for a long period of the Afro-American Council, to Mrs. Lelia Brown, an attractive and cultured lady of Louisville, Ky. The ceremony occurred at Jacob Street Tabernacle in that city on the evening of June 30th. The good bishop and his prospective bride have the warmest wishes of a multitude of friends for their happiness on this voyage upon the sea of matrimony. Dr. Boyd Not Dead. Great satisfaction is felt throughout the country that the published report of the death of Dr. R. N. Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn., is unfounded. On the contrary, though the doctor has had a severe spell of sickness, he is fast recovering and will shortly resume his career of professional and public usefulness. Dr. Boyd is one of the best equipped men of the race, of fine poise and high character, and we give expression to our warm appreciation of the fact that he is saved to adorn and benefit our people, we trust, for many years to come.—Exchange. It may be added here that Dr. Boyd is expected to be in Seattle in the not distant future. Problems of Race Engage the World There is no prejudice so senseless as that which is based upon race. To take into consideration the color of a man's skin, apart from his traits of character, is as unreasoning as to consider the color of his hair. The other day in Kansas a man was elected to office because he was red-headed and had made an appeal to all the "brick-tops" among his constituents. He may be a man of excellent quality, and yet his election was in joke. A choice based upon an element that has no relation to character cannot be defended. The world will never reach the plane towards which it is striving until race prejudice has vanished. In Russia the Jews are murdered and their property confiscated for no other cause than that they are Jews. They may be better, more intelligent and more thrifty than the people about them, but these facts are not taken into consideration. It is not a strange circumstance that the Russians should be condemned, there being no excuse for their conduct. In this country there is not a race prejudice founded on mere difference in hue of skin. Or if there is such prejudice it is not upheld by sentiment outside a narrow area. There is a protest against the free admission of some of the representatives of European ignorance and degradation. This cannot be ascribed to the fact that many of these are dark-hued. The trouble is that they are gross, criminal, shiftless; that their presence affords no addition to the national strength, and that they cannot be assimilated. Nobody looks down upon the Chinese because he is yellow, the Japanese because he is brown, the Indian because he is red. Each is judged by his mental and moral manifestations. The color is but an incident. The so-called prejudice against the Negro does grow to a certain extent from the circumstance that he has been a slave. There is in this an injustice that amounts to irony. He was made a slave by force, and the force of the civilization that now assumes that there was disgrace in his subserviency. Let civilization accept this disgrace as its own. The crime was its own; to a large extent it has the penalty to pay, and it paid it in bitterness and tears and the red glare of war. To be humble in this regard would be seemly. Civilization took to itself a burden, and when it assumes to despise the burden, it is grotesquely unfair. The race imported in savagery could not in a few generations be expected to equal mentally or morally the other race to which it became the adjunct, and of which latter it was the ward. The Negro problem is the great one of the present, or at least one of the great. Such men as Booker Washington do not ask that his people be given social equality. The best friends of that people do not ask nor expect nor desire this. But the world is large, the domain of industry is wide, and there is room for all. The Negro is entitled to education. Without this he must remain as now, and it is not desirable that he do this. Senator Simmons of North Carolina was recently guilty of the assertion that the attempt to elevate the Negro should be abandoned. Any public man should be ashamed to entertain such sentiments, and too wise to express them. He should reflect on existing conditions. There is much crime among the Negroes, and by reason of this there are violent reprisals that shock the world. The men guilty of these crimes are not those who have felt the impulse of education. They are not the ones who have been trained under Washington. They are of the lowest stratum. Yet Mr. Simmons dares to declare that it is to the public interest that they remain there. So foolish a statement is its own refutation. The Negro is entitled to the chance to improve himself, and the sooner he shall do this, not only the better for himself but for the whole country.—Tacoma Ledger. \* \* \* This burning Negroes at the stake is outrageous, but the outraging of innocent girls by the Negroes is also outrageous.—Exchange. True, every word of it; but the same crime committed by white men is equally as heinous. Still we never hear of a white man being lynched or burned for it. Why measure the enormity of the crime by the color of one's skin? If the colored race were to retaliate in kind, and lynch every white man caught or suspected of outraging innocent Negro girls, another long chapter would be added to the record of judge lynch, in this country. *** Miss Gladys Young of Idaho Springs, Colo., won the gold medal in the oratorical contest in that city a few days ago. She was the only colored girl in the contest. This is but a repetition of what usually occurs when a colored pupil enters into a contest for school honors. It is but in accord with one of the characteristics of the race. One of their greatest pleasures while in servitude was in competition or rivalry—to see who could pick the most cotton; make the nicest corn pone, etc. It was the active spirit within them that kept them from utter despair and caused them to make the best of the circumstances under which they were placed. Now that conditions are different and as opportunity affords we see them rising to the top and capturing the honors. (Continued from page 3) 10.

The teaching of "patriotism" in public schools should be the teaching of true patriotism, a patriotism which, as Emerson says, is for the benefit of humanity. 19. The true patriot interprets "love of country" to signify love for the people who are in it. He will express this feeling by a special interest in their welfare and effort to make them the purest, noblest and happiest among the nations of the earth. This love will necessarily expand into a world-wide love, for all men have a common origin, need, nature and destiny.—John C. Havemeyer, in the New York Evening Post. The presence of Chinese and Japanese on this coast is not wholly an unmixed evil. Returning to their native country they take with them a taste for American products, and an increased demand for these is noticeable. This is especially true with regard to flour, the demand for which is increasing rapidly. Senator Clark, the copper king millionaire, is reported as having refused an $80,000,000 offer for one of his mines, solely on the grounds that he would not know what to do with so much money. There are lots of people that would be willing to give him free advice, if he would just intimate that he needed it. The government has withdrawn over 3,000,000 acres of desert land from the market in Franklin, Adams and Walla Walla counties. It is believed the reason is that a large governmental irrigation scheme is in contemplation. The M. E. Church at Blaine was totally destroyed by fire last Friday. The building was valued at $5,000, with only $100 insurance. President Roosevelt has moved the governmental headquarters to Oyster Bay for the summer, and will live as retired a life as possible. Recent soundings in the Pacific Ocean show that while there are great mountains and huge basins or "deeps," the plateau areas are by far the most extensive. Relatively speaking, the floor of the Pacific, as now at last revealed on the plateau areas, is level. There are undulations and depressions, but the general area is about the same depth below the surface. Soundings develop a mean depth of from 2,500 to 2,700 fathoms.

Mr. and Mrs. Brice Taylor left for Kansas week, where they expect to reside during the summer. Mrs. C. A. Rideout has opened up a lodging house, having disposed of her interest in the restaurant. The members of the A. M. E. Sunday school enjoyed their usual picnic last Tuesday at Woodland park. Rev. Walker will preach his introductory sermon at the Second Baptist church next Sunday at 11 o'clock. Mr. Gordon Carter and Mr. Bernard both of Franklin, are visiting in the city, and will remain over until after the Fourth. Mrs. W. F. Walker, who has been visiting with Mr. and Mrs. Richardson and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson for the past two weeks, left for her home last Saturday. Mr. Gayton's residence is fast assuming symmetry and shape, and he hopes in a few weeks more to be able to move into it. A special literary program has been arranged for the friends and visitors at the A. M. E. church next Sunday evening, and a cordial welcome is extended to all by the pastor. Miss Edna Angelo left last Tuesday morning for McCormick, Washington, to visit for a few days with her father prior to leaving for New Orleans, where she will live with her grandmother. A number of the many friends of Miss Edna Angelo gave her a pleasant surprise last Friday evening prior to her leaving the city. A most enjoyable evening was spent by all who were present, and Miss Edna will go to her southern home with many fond remembrances of their surprise. Mr. W. C. Todd, a promising young attorney hailing from Springfield, Mass., spent a few days in Seattle and Tacoma last week casting about for a business location. He left last Monday for Portland, Oregon, where he thinks he will pitch his tent. Mr. Todd is a graduate of the Ann Arbor law school, and comes to the Coast well and highly recommended. He made a very favorable impression on those who met him during his stay in this city, and it is hoped that he will like impress those the Portland people among whom he has decided to cast his lot. As soon as he has settled himself down, his wife will join him. The recent mine disaster at Hanna, Wyoming, in which 165 miners lost their lives, twenty-five of whom were colored, and a greater part of the latter more or less well known to the colored miners of this section, reminds old timers in this section of the two awful disasters at Roslyn and Franklin, in which so many of the miners lost their lives, but not to compare with the number at the Hanna YOU'LL WANT Fishing Tackle FOR YOUR SUMMER VACATION EXTRA SPECIAL $1 Jointed Split Bamboo Rod Extra tip 65c 25c Basket strap 19c $1 Fish basket of best quality 75c 40 yard nickel reel 50c 10 yard Peerless silk line regular 15c for 10c Assorted flies, doz. 25c Spelger & Hurlbut SECOND AND UNION mine. The miners at Roslyn will regret very much to learn of the death of Tom Weathers in the Hanna disaster. Weathers was once a very popular young man in Roslyn, and no man in the camp was more generally liked among all classes than he. He left Roslyn some five years ago, and has been in Hanna ever since. According to the Associated Press dispatches the hero of the occasion was William Christian, a colored miner, who was knocked down by the explosion, but who soon sufficiently recovered from the shock to grope about in the mines where he knew the men were at work prior to the explosion and help many of the men to places of safety. The mines are now reported on fire, which gives little hope of help reaching the entombed miners who, if not already dead, must die of starvation, explosions or other fatal mishaps that may occur at any time. FRANKLIN. The Franklin colored baseball nine will play the Enumclaw nine at the latter place July 12th. There are now in the neighborhood of 125 colored miners in the camp, and there is room for as many more. Rev. Walker spent a few days in Franklin last week and made a most favorable impression on those with whom he met. Mrs. W. F. Walker of Renton is visiting with her son, Rev. Mathews. Mrs. Walker at one time lived in this camp, where she is well and favorably known. There are a couple of cases of small pox in the camp, but they are under strict quarantine, which is maintained by the county commissioners, and there is no danger of it spreading. A committee among the colored miners are working on a proposition to give Franklin a grand celebration the 4th of August. The committee gives it out that no grafting will be permitted and that Franklin will entertain the visitors without outside assistance. Once again this camp is assuming its old time activity. Her pay roll is now the largest in the state with one exception. The McKay vein of coal has not been struck yet, but it is hoped by the authorities that it will in a comparatively short time from now, when Franklin will again furnish to this section of the country its best quality of steam coal. AMUSEMENTS Walter Sanford's Company of Players is now presenting the splendid version of "East Lynne" at the Third Avenue Theatre. The last performance will be given Saturday evening. Sunday night will commence the last week of the Sanford Company at the Third Avenue Theatre when they will present the interesting play "Not Guilty." This will be the last chance to witness the excellent organization that Mr. Sanford brought direct from New York here, as after next week they leave Seattle to fill other engagements. After next week the Third Avenue Theatre will be closed for six weeks, opening again the latter part of August. It has been open continuously for the past eleven months and during that time has given to the theatre goers of Seattle a splendid line of attractions that have been liberally patronized. For next season Managers Russell & Drew promise their patrons the strongest line of attractions they have ever presented. WORTH REMEMBERING. 1.

"What do they do when they install a minister?" inquired a small boy. "Do they put him in a stall and feed him?" "No," said the fathor, "they harness him to the church and expect him to draw on it." "I want to see the boss of the house," said the peddler to Mrs. D., who had answered the ring. "I'm sorry," she replied, as she gently closed the door, "but baby is asleep just now."
