SEATTLE REPUBLICAN JOHN E. HUMPHRIES FOR GOVERNOR Photo by Plummer. Alonzo M. Murphy, Candidate for Congress VOL. X. NO. 5 AFTER due consideration and deliberation with his friends and himself John E. Humphries, one of Seattle's most prominent attorneys and business men, has concluded to enter the coming gubernatorial race of this state. For the past fourteen years Mr. Humphries has been more or less prominent in the political affairs of this county and state, and is, therefore, no stranger to the general public. The friends of Judge Humphries, as he is frequently addressed, say that he has in nowise mixed in with the political rows that have been common to Republican politics of this state for the past five years or more, and that will go a long ways toward making him the only available gubernatorial candidate thus far mentioned. They further argue that King county cannot afford to go back on a gubernatorial aspirant, and judging from past experience he will have no trouble whatever in capturing the entire delegation from King county, though there be other aspirants in the county for the same honor. Pierce county will be willing to stand by King county in the gubernatorial race for the reason that she feels that it will be to her political interest to do so. With the two largest counties in the state a unit for his nomination the friends of Judge Humphries declare that the odds for his nomination are flattering in the extreme. But be the prospects of success good or bad, it is given out by the close friends of John E. Humphries that he is an avowed candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, subject to the will of the next state Republican convention, and every honorable means will be used to assure success for him in the undertaking. Repeatedly has the political record of Mr. Humphries been published in this state and county, and it is, therefore, useless at this time for any elaboration along that line to be made by the piemaker. He is a man who is always loyal to his friends, and a man who has A friend of this paper writes from Spokane to the effect that the Piemaker should not overlook the fact that Alonzo M. Murphy, one of the "whitest men" Spokane ever boasted of, is a candidate for the position now warmed by Congressman Jones, and he and his friends will make an aggressive fight to that end, with fair prospects of succeeding, and especially in Spokane county. It will be remembered that Mr. Murphy has been a candidate in the past, but in deference to Senator Wilson's political ambitions he always stood back. In the coming fight, however, he has an open field, for Spokane is without representation in congress, and, all claims to the contrary, nevertheless Spokane is the second county as to population in the state, and should she decide to have no other candidate save one for congressional honors at the next state convention, Mr. Jones will have a fight on his hands that he little expected. The citizens of Spokane county, who are just beginning to realize what it is to be without influence at the national capitol, will do a great many things that they never did before in a political way in order to win back some national prestige. If Spokane county will not split up into political factions and fight "windmills" for real enemies she may get all and even more than she has asked for at the hands of the next state convention, and this is said quite advisedly. Alonzo Murphy is a very popular gentleman among all classes of citizens, and the members of the "state press" would be delighted to see him nominated, as he is one of the boys, and well liked by all of them. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1903 AMPHRIES FOR a strong personality and never fails to make a hit before the people when he directly appeals to them for support. As an attorney, a citizen and a business man he is exceedingly popular, and he likewise stands very high in most of the secret societies of this state. The Seattle Republican, in its last issue, launches Frank H. Brownell, the Everett attorney, for Governor. We were under the impression that Mr. Brownell had his lightning-rod up for one of the three congressional nominations in 1904, and think he will make a mistake if he allows himself to be sidetracked with the offer of a gubernatorial nomination, at least this early in the game.—Port Orchard Independent. --- It is said that Frank H. Brownell, of Everett, will not object to receiving the nomination for governor of the great state of Washington. His friends profess to believe that Governor McBride is unpopular among the people of the northern portion of the state, and that Mr. Brownell can win out in the race. It will be remembered that the gentleman from Everett was a candidate for Congress last year, but was defeated by W. E. Humphrey. Mr. Brownell is said to have a large circle of friends in King county, who will actively support the gentleman for the gubernatorial nomination.—White River Journal. Walter J. Reed, of Yakima, wants to succeed Jones as Congressman from east of the mountains, and will put forth his best endeavors to have the next Republican convention name him as a candidate for the lower house. Mr. Reed is said to stand well among the politicians of the Kittitas and Yakima valleys, and he may give Mr. Jones a hard tussle.—White River Journal. * * * Just as this paper stated several months ago would be done by the Republicans to beat McBride for the nomination next year, the work is going on vigorously LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS GOVERNOR This is the first time in the long political career of Mr. Humphries that he has aspired to any other political office save that of a judgship, and this announcement will be learned by many as a genuine political surprise. Three times has he been a candidate for the supreme bench, and each time he has been shelved for first one political reason and then another, but all more or less trivial in their nature. He gave way in 1898 in order not to injure the supposed chances of Tom Humes for senator, when, if he had forced his hand, he could have been easily nominated. Again, in 1900, he gave way because it was not deemed advisable for King county to ask for both the governorship and a judgship. The convention was a unit for the nomination of J. M. Frink, and though it was not unfavorable to Mr. Humphries, it seemed more politic to have the judgship go to some other section of the state. In 1902, when he again appeared before the state convention as a candidate for the supreme bench, it was a fight between him, Will E. Humphrey and Harold Preston, all of King county, and each a candidate for state honors. Mr. Humphrey, who, by the way, is no relation of Mr. Humphries, was nominated for congress, and Mr. Preston laid his plans to go to the united States senate, while Mr. Humphries was again left in the lurch to gratify the ambitions of other men. It was then and there, so the story goes, that John E. Humphries abandoned the idea of ever again running for the supreme court judgeship, but decided to strike for the gubernatorial nomination and thereby avoid being eternally sidetracked in the interest of some candidate seeking higher political honors. Should he ever reach the goal of his ambition along the lines that he has now mapped out it can be safely said of him that he will make an ideal governor and remember those who assisted him, in a way to make their hearts glad. for Congress on the Sound. At least half a dozen mediocre men have been brought before the public for recognition. Wonderful to say the whole crowd has not stirred the enthusiasm that the name of Cosgrove did on this side the mountains.—Washington Independent. * * * Colonel Alden J. Blethen, editor of the Seattle Daily Times, has had a yearning in his heart for many years to fill some important post as the representative of the American government at a foreign court. When Harold Preston conceived the idea that he would like to be a United States senator, he realized to a certain degree the feeling which was fostered within the breast of Colonel Blethen. These two sympathetic souls came together and to their combination they added the congenial spirit of Governor McBride. Now Colonel Blethen is a Democrat and Harold Preston and Governor McBride brand themselves as Republicans. In order to secure the "moral support" of Colonel Blethen, Harold Preston and Governor McBride led the astute colonel to believe that they had Mr. Preston's election in their overcoat pocket. Colonel Blethen wanted to be a minister extraordinary or an ordinary minister—whichever he could get—so he confided to Mr. Preston and the governor that he would use his "influence" for the "gentleman from Seattle" if that gentleman would in turn use his "influence" to have Colonel Blethen appointed to a foreign port. The deal was made, but Mr. Preston did not go to the United States senate, and the worthy colonel is still the editor of the Seattle Daily Times. Thereby hangs a tale.—Colfax Gazette: --- Tales of the Town The city of Ballard has had some burglaries and safecracking of late, and no arrests made, so the city council has concluded it is a good time to change the police force. Consequently the old crew have been given an extended vacation and a new set of fellows wear the stars. If the Seattle force were changed every time like depredations occurred, and no arrests made, there would be a lively round robin matinee in the neighborhood of the city hall. * * * With plain every-day gambling made a felony, and a new city ordinance making high-toned gambling, such as pool rooms, bucket shops, etc., a misdemeanor, the sporting fraternity begin to feel that their lines have been cast in hard places. They, like the law-abiding citizens, are now anxiously watching to see what the chief of police is going to do about it. The legislature or the city council may propose, but the chief of police too often disposes, or ignores, thus making himself, the creature, greater than the creator. * * * With an appropriation of $23,000 from the general fund, to help the job along, it now looks as though the regrading of Second avenue, from Pike street to Denny way, will in time become an accomplished reality. This is a much-needed improvement. Now how about Third street, from Yesler way to Pike street. Frank Conahan, the inspector for the Seattle Electric Company, who was at the motor at the time of the collision of two cars on the Interurban line, whereby Hill Alexander was so seriously injured that he has since died, has been held responsible for his death by the coroner's inquest, and a warrant is out for his arrest. It seems Conahan, not being satisfied with the speed the car was making, took the levers from the regular motorman, and in a reckless manner plunged into a car ahead that had come to a stop. He has left the state, and his exact whereabouts do not seem to be known. * * * The meeting in this city on August 11, of the fourteenth annual session of the Trans-Mississippi congress, will bring to Puget sound a great many people --- ```markdown ``` Horse Races at THE MEADOWS Every Day Rain or Shine MONDAY & THURSDAY LADIES DAYS LADIES ABSOLUTELY FREE ON THESE DAYS Don't Miss It Admission 50 Cents, except Saturday, Stake Race Days, when Gentlemen Gladly Pay One Dollar Street Cars Direct to the Grounds Fare 5 Cents THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. he Town from all over the great West. Seattle's fame is such that whenever an opportunity like this, when railroad rates are reduced, people take advantage of it and come and look us over. These annual gatherings are of much good to the great West, resulting in a harmony of action in securing needed assistance in the way of irrigation, forestry protection, good roads, river and harbor improvements, etc., etc. *** The spending of $22,000 in making improvements and extensions of the water and sewer system at Fort Lawton will make things lively around Magnolia bluff for the summer, and put that much of Uncle Sam's surplus where it will do the most good—into the hands of artisans and laborers. * * * A matter of a good deal of importance to Seattle is a deal consummated a few days ago which secures to this city the plant of the Portland Cordage Company. The securing of any manufacturing plant, great or small, is of importance. The purchase of a twenty-acre tract at Smith's Cove, and the announcement that a plant will at once be installed that will employ, at the start, one hundred and fifty people, is worthy of more than passing comment. Rope of all kinds, and for all purposes, will be manufactured, and the raw material will be received direct from the Orient. That the company should come here from Portland is only in keeping with the fitness of things, and is an acknowledgment of the claims always made by this city. The location selected, Smith's Cove, is destined to be one of the chief manufacturing centers of the city. It is there where sail meets rail and shipping facilities are excellent. *** The local Y. M. C. A. are to be congratulated that they have assured them sufficient funds for the erection of the new home for their organization, as is under contemplation. The location, Fourth and Madison streets, is an ideal one, convenient to the business portion of the city, easy of access by street car lines, and in the immediate neighborhood of the two prin- Pope Leo's Passing. In all human probability Pope Leo XIII will have passed away before this issue of the Seattle Republican reaches its readers. At this writing his life hangs only by a thread, so to speak. His age is greatly against his being able to throw off the disease that has taken hold upon him. He has exceeded by more than a score of years the allotted age of man. Indeed, he had almost reached the allotted age when called to be the supreme pontiff of the great Church of Rome. For twenty years he has performed the duties of that office in a way that has been satisfactory to the church itself, and gained great respect from those not adherents thereto. He has been quite feeble for some time, but his mind has remained exceedingly clear to the last, and he has not relaxed his interest in his work, but has calmly planned, as best he could, to have all things ready for his departure and the surrender of his ecclistical authority to his successor. Grateful to Seattle. The mayor of Heppner, Oregon, acknowledges receipt of assistance from Seattle for the sufferers from the late calamity in that city, in a letter to the P.-I., as follows: "We are in receipt of your letter of 29th inst. enclosing draft for the sum of $424.60 additional contribution from the citizens of Seattle for the relief of the Heppner sufferers. This makes a total gift of $,745.95 which we have received from the good people of Seattle, besides several contributions from the various fraternal and benevolent orders of your city, and I beg that you permit me, through your columns, to convey to your people the deepest gratitude of Heppner's afflicted ones for their kindness and generosity in this hour of sadness and need." Just the Same in Seattle. What peculiar ways of walking women have these days, and what singularly revelative methods of holding their skirts! "I am by no means prudish," remarked a prominent city official to the editor of the Spectator, "but, 'pon my soul, these undulating movements of the unbilical region, this swinging of the arms like two flails, this accentuated swaying of padded hips, this tugging holding of skirts in such a fashion as to produce a tautness that clearly outlines the shape of limbs and some of those parts of the lusciously divine body of woman which delicacy forbids one to mention, have an ensemble effect --- cipital hospitals and of the new library building that is to be. The Seattle school board seems to be putting forth every effort to needed improvements on, and enlargement of present facilities, as well as to the beautifying of the surroundings of various buildings. The question of changing names of various schools back to former names, in response to a popular demand, is under consideration, as is also the selection of a permanent home for an Industrial school. ```markdown ``` The Fourth of July, 1903, was not lacking in patriotism or noisy demonstrations on the part of Seattle citizens; but the threatening morning hours and heavy downpour of rain during the afternoon curtailed the extent and diminished the magnitude of the grand parade and other exercises, as had been planned. As it was the small boy and the staid citizen each blew off patriotism well down below the danger point and the city has settled down to routine business again. Negro Achievements. In writing under the caption of "Proper Pride of Race" Louis H. Latimer makes some comparisons and allusions to achievements of negroes, as follows: "Comparison presupposes a knowledge of the two or more things compared; and it therefore follows that no race ever learned to value its own people by confining its studies to the history of another race on nation. We hear of Washington, Wellington and Napoleon from infancy to old age; but many of us never hear of Toussaint L'Overture, the black patriot and soldier, whom the great Napoleon feared so much that he stooped to treachery of the basest kind in order to destroy this man, whose genius threatened to quench his own with its greater splendor. History teaches of LaPlace, but it fails to tell us of Benjamin Bannaker, the Maryland negro, who duplicated some of the most important astronomical discoveries of LaPlace. Under like conditions? No! LaPlace had the wealth and influence of the great French government behind him. Bannaker was a poor farm lad, working with crude devices, and very limited means. He was treated as many of us are; complimented by our nation when he had succeeded in bringing honor to her in spite of limited education and surrounding conditions, which in all probability, would have utterly discouraged the cultured LaPlace. Bannaker's almanac was probably the first almanac of American origin. upon a man which is not at all designed to strengthen his innate disposition to acknowledge woman's superiority of judgment in all matters that concern the requirements of beauty, grace, charm—art in general." There is nothing attractive, or even sensible, in woman's present fashions of carrying herself. Of course, all this silhouetting of form has its purpose. It is designed to allure and trap the impressionable male. It forms part of woman's repertoire of sexual wiles and tricks. But it is most objectionable, and what, in the mind of the average man, is still worse—it is vulgarly inartistic. It does violence to all feelings of delicacy. It reveals too much of the feminine form to attract and please the man who is really worth catching. If women could only hear the suggestive, cynical remarks which the cigar store loafers interchange in reference to their clutching, stretching and uplifting of skirts, and their suggestively inviting contortions of body! But what's the use of lecturing her who is irremediably perverse and hungry for masculine glances of admiration, be they ever so brutally searching and penetrating, or ever so knowingly approving? Woman will remain woman. She turns a deaf ear to every one who dares to point out the foolishness of her ways.—Spokane Spectator. To Advertise Seattle. The conclusion of the Chamber of Commerce to expend $12,000 in making a Seattle and King County display at the St. Louis exposition is a proper move. King County's display should be the best in the state, and can be made so if managed properly. Harry Gordon in Trouble. The friends of Harry C. Gordon, formerly a prominent resident in this city, are surprised at hearing of his arrest at Nome, on a charge of compounding a felony. Gordon has held important official positions since he went north, and his friends believe that at his trial, which is set to be heard in August, that he will come out all right. Long Cable Completed. The completion of the all-American cable to the Far East and the opening of the same for service on July 4th, marks another epoch of American progress. Tihs long thread of wire brings our island possessions many miles nearer to us than they were before. 4 Afro-American Afro-American Unjust Suffrage Laws. I do not believe that any state should make a law that permits an ignorant and poverty-stricken white man to vote and prevents a black man in the same condition from voting. Such a law is not only unjust, but it will react, as all unjust laws do, in time; for the effect of such a law is to encourage the negro to secure education and property, and at the same time it encourages the white man to remain in ignorance and poverty. I believe that in time, through the operation of intelligence and friendly race relations, all cheating at the ballot-box in the South will cease. It will become apparent that the white man who begins by cheating a negro out of his ballot soon learns to cheat a white man out of his, and that man who does this ends his career of dishonesty by the theft of property or by some equally serious crime. In my opinion the time will come when the South will encourage all of its citizens to vote. It will see that it pays better, from every standpoint, to have healthy, vigorous life than to have that political stagnation which always results when one-half the population has no share and no interest in the government. As a rule, I believe in universal, free suffrage, but I believe that in the South we are confronted with peculiar conditions that justify the protection of the ballot in many of he States, for a while at least; either by an educational test, a property test, or by both combined; but whatever tests are required they should be made to apply with equal and exact justice to both races. Booker T. Washington. Bishop Turner a Sage. Bishop Turner speaks like a sage. In a late speech by ex-President Cleveland, in which the latter accused the Afro-American of "a grievous amount of viciousness and a tremendous amount of laziness and thriftlessness," Bishop Turner maintains that Mr. Cleveland could not know whereof he speaks because he has had no contact with the negro except as a servant. The whites do not know the negro except as an employer of labor. This is all true. The negro is persecuted civilly and politicall yin the South, because he is against the Democratic party, because the Democratic party is against him. That is a human reason, and a philosophical one as well. But, as a laborer, Bishop Turner maintains that the negro is the backbone of Southern industrialism. So he is.—Echange. Placing Responsibility. Those cheap journals in the South which are venting their ineffective spite upon everybody concerned in bringing the peonage conspirators in Alabama to justice are probably unaware of the identity of one of the men upon whom they have turned themselves loose. The prime author of this whole anti-slavery campaign happens to be a Southerner born and bred, now and always a Democrat, once a soldier of the Confederacy under Lee, later a Governor of his state, with a fine record for righteous and fearless administration, and now a United States judge. In short, the credit for ```markdown ``` The Pollard Liliputian Opera Co. Scene from Scene from THE BELLE OF NEW YORK SEATTLE THEATRE JULY 12 --- the whole business belongs to Thomas G. Jones of the district court. It would be as hard to find in the whole South a man who was less of a Yankee, as to find one of purer motives, keener intelligence and broader patriotism. It was Judge Jones who looked, for his own satisfaction, into some of the most shocking cases, called the district attorney into consultation on the subject, and got him to write to the department of justice for instructions to proceed against the criminals under the federal statute, and for the detective aid which the marshal's office could not supply. Attorney General Knox asked the secretary of the treasury for the loan of a secret service operative, and then active measures began. Of course, everybody who instigates such prosecutions is a "black Republican" and an "abolitionist," everybody who puts them through does it for politics' sake, and everybody who encourages the work of the prosecutors by publicly approving it is a crank. That was to be expected. But such a line of attack affords humorous reading for those innocent souls who do not regard respect for law as a question of latitude, or admit that crime is measured by standards of section, race and party.—New York Evening Post. It is of interest at this time to note that Judge Jones is the federal official appointed upon the recommendation of Booker T. Washington shortly after President Roosevelt came to the presidency. A National Disgrace. With the burning of a negro at the stake in Baltimore, and hundreds of white citizens transferred into a howling, murderous mob in Evansville, Ind., thirsting not only for the blood of an offending negro, but for all colored persons, without regard to age, sex or condition, a new phase is put upon the so-called race question. Heretofore, with isolated exceptions, mob violence has displayed itself only in the South, where conditions are very different than in the North. While there is no excuse for mob law anywhere, two wrongs never making a right, yet for certain heinous crimes negroes have been lynched in the South until the public have come to look upon it as the proper thing. Herein is the fatal mistake. Public sentiment has become caloused, and lynching for certain crimes are looked upon as the proper thing, notwithstanding the willingness and desire for officers of the law to have constituted law take its due course. The first crime on the part of the public has been in taking life without trial by jury; the next has been on the part of the government in not holding to strict accountability those who committed the first offense. The result is a contempt for law that is directly responsible for such scenes as has been enacted in Evansville during the past week. The incentive for the Evansville mob was not a heinous crime against a defensees woman that is so often used as a cloak or apology for mob violence. A Negro committed murder; a serious crime enough, but he was in the hands of proper officers, and in a Northern state there was no doubt but the full penalty of the law would be meted out to him. The same crime is being daily committed by white men, and no mob is raised to wreak summary vengeance. This man was a Negro; it has become the custom to lynch and burn Negroes for crime, so the human animal throws off his thin veneer of civilization, becomes a savage of the wildest type and seeks not only the blood of the criminal, but of all those who are of his kind or color. This, in a Northern Christian city; and so intensely wild and insane have the mob become that they clamor for days for a chance to reach the object of their wrath. To add to the seriousness of the situation is the seeming sympathy of the officers of the law to such an extent that they do but little or nothing to quell the riot, and the strong arm of the military authority has to be called out and are forced to shoot down rioters in the streets. There is nothing that this nation wants less than a race war, but there is great danger that it will come, unless the government acts quickly and determinedly. There must be no temporizing with mobs. When men band together to do violence to the law they must be treated as outlaws and traitors. Here is a question for our strenuous president to address himself to. It is wholly within his power to ward off the impending danger. It is not sufficient to say that the Negroes should not commit crime. Of course they should not, but that they do does not excuse the second crime. The law is able and ready to deal with them. White men should not commit crime, either, but they do, too. Anglo-Saxons have no right to demand of the Negroes a better observance of law than they themselves give, nor prescribe or inflict a different grade of punishment. They are each citizens before the law, and are subject to the same punishments and entitled to the same protection. There can be no double standard for crime or morals. An exchange remarks: "The Seattle papers must have experienced a change of heart recently, for they haven't for a long time said anything about Tacoma as an attractive place of retirement for the rest seeker. Possibly they have concluded to charge regular advertising rates hereafter for their diatrices." No, that is not it. Seattle papers have no time to waste with small affairs like that. They have bigger game to bag. Besides that, Tacoma papers keep knocking Seattle enough to answer for both this city and that quiet retreat; and as it seems to amuse them, and does not hurt us. We just let them knock. CONANT'S LUNCH ROOM You missed the best MID-DAY LUNCH Served in Seattle unless you ate at Major Conant's Place in the Basement of the Bailey Block.

Call on us for the right kind of light While all is serene on the surface, and politicians, great and small, are seemingly absorbed in private affairs, yet the fact remains that probably deeper politics is being played, and more far-reaching plans are being laid for next season's campaign, in this county and state, than has absorbed the attention of the professionals for many a day.

With the greatly increased population in this part of the city, their request for a division of territory and consequent increased representation in the city council, seems to be but just.

Call on us for YOUR PIANO as as OUR PRICES and An application of fresh Eastern ideas, or an entire lack of business sense, has brought grief to the Ballard Millman, or, more properly speaking, to one W. R. Whitman, who so recently sought that field in which to expound Democratic doctrine, and, incidentally, to found a great publishing house. A few short months ago he secured control of the Ballard Register, which was doing a good little business, and added to it the circulation and good will of the Ballard Union. He then proceeded to cut a wide swath, and so long as his credit lasted, or the local Democratic party would put up for him, all went well; but the end of both these was soon reached, and now, "how have the mighty fallen." Creditors, to protect themselves and continue a contract for legal advertising, have secured an assignment of the business, and the paper will be continued, for the present, at least. TERMS ARE THE LOWEST Pianos sold as low as $6.00 Per Month Sherman, Clay & Co. STEINWAY DEALERS The return of P. C. Sullivan, lawyer and politician, to Tacoma after an absence of several years in Nome, gives a chance to the whyfor political gossips to wag their heads solemnly and then tell the dear public all they know and a whole lot they don't know about the matter. What Mr. Sullivan says himself may be relied on: He has many friends in this state who have long been urging him to return, and incidentally, though not disparaging Nome, he has had enough of the frozen regions of the North. Added to this the state of Washington is in a vastly better condition than it was in the panic times when he left it. Mr. Sullivan will resume the practice of his profession in Tacoma, but just what part he will take in the politics of the future is not so well known. His experience as a candidate for the governorship in 1896, in opposition to the late John R. Rogers, was disastrous, but he simply went down under the fusion avalanche which overwhelmed the entire Republican party that year. But political as well as material conditions have changed since that time; the Populist party has disappeared and of the Democrats not much more than a wreck is left behind, and perhaps not altogether unnaturally the suggestion has been thrown out in certain quarters that Mr. Sullivan will again be an active candidate for gubernatorial honors next year. That may be regarded as extremely unlikely, however, as Tacoma and Pierce county are already loaded to the guards with candidates for the big places, and there positively is no room for any more. But it may be taken for granted that Potter Charles will take a hand in the game when the proper time comes, and to some purpose, as all will agree who remember his standing in the councils of his party in days gone by.—Tacoma New Herald.

In view of these facts, it would not be out of children, until the formative period is well past, and It has been suggested that the feudists of Kentucky, who are just now enjoying the limelight of publicity, are not a bad people; that they kill and are killed just because they don’t know any better; that because of their isolation they have acquired a false standard of morals. It is further suggested that a good way to correct the evil would be by an influx of civilization, for civilized people to migrate to that benighted land and teach them, by example, a better code of morals, a better way of.living. The suggestion seems good, is surely philanthropic, but where are the missionaries who would be willing to risk their lives and the lives and morals of their children, with people so well armed and who will shoot, and that to kill, on such slight provocation. That they need a civilizing influence goes without saying, but give it to them the same way it is given to the inhabitants of the Philippines, Send a regiment or two of blue coats into Breathitt county, to maintain martial law for a few years. At the same time, send them school teachers. Go to them with a sword in one hand and a gospel of peace in the other. Protect them from themselves by the strong arm of military authority, while they are being taught those things that make for higher, better and modern civil- ization, This is the kind of influx of civilization that would be both safe and efficient. Dies and Is Resurrected. With the transfer of the ownership and the change of the political faith of the “Sun” of Tacoma, from a Democratic to a Republican paper, it may be said that the Sun has set, for the Democrats, at least; no more will its pale, sickly light cast a glimmering ray athwart the political horizon of the City of Destiny; no more will its chestnut phrases and deluding statements sound forth to ears long since ceased to give forth response. It was simply a relic of a fast-decaying fungi, that once attached itself to the body politic of this state. It is but natural that it should perish, the unlamented harbinger of a cause that never had any legitimate excuse for trying to live. Its organs, one by one, are passing to the silent majority, unhonored and unsung, and the cause they espoused is in the last throes of physical existence; soon it, too, will follow their lead and the effect will be about as noticeable as would be the dropping of a pebble in the waters of Elliott Bay.” Vale;-Stm-Democrat, vale, and fare thee well. But there is a brighter side to the obsequies. While the Democratic “Sun” is dead, yet the Sun still lives. J. “Watermellon” Reddington, not unknown in the newspaper field in this state, has secured the paper, and henceforth it is to be conducted as a Republican organ. Mr, Reddington is a versatile writer, and, with a constituency in sympathy with him, and the party it is to represent, he will be able to throw a little ra- dium light into the rays of the orb, and we may expect to see it shine in inverse ratio to its past opaqueness. The Philippines a Possible Haven. T. Thomas Fortune, who was sent to the Philippines in an endeavor to solve the race question existing in the United States, has returned and says that under proper governmental control the Philippines would be an ideal place for the negro, He says: “The Filipino and the negro get along splendidly, while it seems that the white and the negro cannot.” In the face of the many theories regarding this difficult question that have been found impracticable, this one might at least be found to be worthy of thought —Olympian. Accepting Mr. Fortune's conclusions as correct, and that negroes could find an asylum in the Philippine Islands, among a people who would accept their pres- ence without protest, the matter of negro emigration to those shores may well be seriously considered by the government. And if anything is done it should be by the government, or under its supervision, The na- tion owes much to the black people in this country, and the payment of the obligation has been too long de- layed, When the emancipation proclamation was signed responsibility for the race was begun, and prac- tically ceased, so far as any further assistance from the government is concerned. Since then they have been left to shift for themselves, as best they could. ‘The conferring upon them of the right of suffrage was an added burden, instead of a benefit, to the vast ma- jority, When the red men were forced to yield their pasture lands and hunting grounds the government made wards of them, and has spent millions in caring for them, To be sure, it was due them, as the growth ‘of the nation deprived them of their means of subsist- ence, by the only way they knew, Likewise, when slavery was abolished 4,000,000 colored people were deprived of their living and were forced to provide for themselves, the greater portion of them as wholly un- fitted to do so, except as some one employed them, as were the American Indians, Yet the government has never lifted a hand to help them by special or direct effort. In view of these facts, it would not be out of place—in fact it is the duty of the government to come to the help of the race, in the matter of protecting them from the atrocities being heaped upon them, and by helping them, a reasonable number who might desire to do so, to the Philippine Islands or any other part of our domains, that offers an opportunity for them to enjoy the right guaranteed in the constitution, “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” In a coloniza- tion scheme great care and judgment must be exer- cised, lest the last condition be made worse than the first. Indiscriminate migration should not be fostered, but, after ascertaining the character of persons, indus- trially considered, and the number that could find prof- itable employment or business opportunities, then gov- ernment transports should be provided to convey them, and a government commissiarat should see that none suffer want until they become self-sustaining, In this way a colonization scheme could be made successful, with a chance of benefiting all parties concerned, and might be kept in operation so long as desire and oppor- tunity existed, Inconsistent Yellows. Speaking of the genuineness of W. R. Hearst's can- didacy for the presidential nomination, so far as Hearst himself is concerned, and of the effort of his flock of yellow papers to try to advance his cause by discredit- ing President Roosevelt’s action on the trust question, the San Francisco Call says: “President Roosevelt has shown his faith by his works. The Sherman trust law has been long on the statute books and was the law of the land through two Democratic and two Republican administrations. Whether lack of its enforcement was due to lack of evidence or not need not be discussed. Suffice it to say that the offending trusts either originated or be- came offensive under the administration of President Roosevelt, and he was promptly mindful of his great oath to see that the laws are faithfully enforced, and he enforced them. Candidate Hearst finds it necessary, therefore, to deny that it is useful to enforce the law, but unnecessary for a president to be mindful of his oath, so he begins, in his several papers, to spread abroad the falsehood that the trusts that have been hit were not hurt by the blow, but that they will raise a million of dollars to support the candidacy of President Roosevelt! Remember that this is the declaration of a candidate for the presideney, who has carelessly at- tacked and lampooned the president for not enforcing the law, and who has said repeatedly that there is law enough in the Sherman act to curb the trusts if it be enforced.” The “yellow kid” must be a little consistent if he expects even favorable mention from self-respecting papers. « = Realm of Religion = « Not Coveting People. When the Word said, “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid- servant,” it was meant that we should carry this out into all possible relationships. There are those in your place, in your church, in your home, who are worth honoring, worth loving, Rejoice in these—that is the right spirit. The wrong spirit is to fret and criticise and wish you lived in a more congenial place, in a more inspiring church, in a more refined or cultivated fam- ily circle, For us the tenth commandment should mean thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s minister, nor thy, neighbor's neighbor, nor thy neighbor’s mother-in-law. Some there are whose lives are bound into the bundle of our life, and in all of these we can find something to love and honor, It is within our own power to make for ourselves the humblest village attractive, the least congenial church inspiring, and the home life of few advantages full of a very real, a deep and sweet affec- tion.—S, S. Times. An Old-Fashioned Conclusion, One little mother I know is one of the shining lights of the best social life of her town; intelligent, wide- awake, and fully abreast of every wave of progress within her reach ; and yet for years she lived a life apart from all this, in a world narowed down to her husband, her children and her ideal. She lost nothing by her seeming retirement, except perhaps the evanescent title of an up-to-date woman, for the time of it. She came back to social life, ines- timably richer by her experience of beautiful matern- ity, and all that it means in exquisite influence of pa- tience, unselfishness and love, And so, as I thought it over, I came to the old-fash- joned conclusion that the time of the mothers of young children is not greatly needed in the great movements for the world’s betterment. ‘Their closest interest belongs by divine right to their children, until the formative period is well past, and it is good if they can be contented to live quietly and plainly, giving to the outside in only the simple little ways that are possible to the busy homekeeper.— Exchange. The most profitable days of a woman’s life, as they should be the most pleasant, are those that are spent in teaching her children those things that will keep them from the evil that will surround them, and makes them to become noble men and women. Such mothers are the queens of this earth. THE Great Heart of Love. “Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.” Three distinct types of character, Martha caring just for the bodily comfort of her royal guest, the gentle Mary sitting at his feet, desiring above all to learn of Him. And Lazarus, of whom we know that “Jesus wept” at his grave, and Thomas, when he heard of his death, said: “Let us die with him,” all embraced in the words “Jesus loved.” But the great heart of love shines brightest of all in His love for His enemies. Leaving His throne to en- dure shame, suffering, hatred, and at last death, at the hands of those whom He came to save; His dying words, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do,” show the great heart of love, and claim our hearts’ adoration. MRS. E, J. RICHMOND. God Is Not Mocked. m “O, Lord,” said the Psalmist, “Thou hast searched me and known me.” Blessed is the man who can make that fact his boast. There is many a one whose out- ward life is wholesome, but who would shrink from the exposure of his inward thoughts. Indeed, there are probably but few who are so pure within as to be entirely willing that there should be at all times a window in the breast, that all observers in heaven and on earth might always see what is going on there. But to the eye of God there are no secret chambers. He knows what I am, as well as what Ido. He under- stands my thoughts afar off. The darkness and the light are alike to Him. I cannot elude His presence ; I cannot escape His inspection. I may deceive men as to my inner purity, but He is acquainted with all my ways. We think much of reputation, and are greatly grieved when it is marred, But God gives no heed to what men think of us. He regards character. Moody used to say, “Character is what a man is in the dark.” With God darkness and light are alike. And it will be so in heaven—there shall be no night there. Since, then, we cannot hide our secret sin, or cover our im- pure thoughts from His sight, let us make the Psalm- ist’s prayer ours: “Search me, O God, and know my heart ; try me and know my thoughts. And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way ever- lasting.”—Selected. Are Revivals Out of Date? After the death of Dwight L. Moody many promi- nent clergymen in Chicago did not hesitate to say that the era of revivals had passed. They contended that Mr. Moody was the last of the great revivalists, and that there was no demand for another. ‘This contention was based on the theory that people were less emotional than a generation ago, less inclined to impulsive action in religious matters, and more inclined to act deliberately on conviction. Therefore, old-fashioned preaching, that aroused or frightened people, had had its day. In answer to this argument came the tour of the Rev. R. A. Torrey, the friend and associate worker of D..L. Moody. Mr, Torrey went as an evangelist to Aus- tralia, and organized a campaign for the conversion of men and women, just as Moody had organized his revival campaigns in Chicago, New York or London. He was as successful in this new field as Moody had been twenty years earlier in his greatest revival tour. Thousands were converted, and there was great revival of interest in religious work. A tour in Europe and Asia followed, and Mr, Torrey returned with 30,000 converts to his credit and was welcomed to Chicago as the great revivalist of the time. Judged by the results of his work he is. On another page of this issue of the Sunday Inter Ocean Mr. Torrey writes of his beliefs, of his plans, and of his experience abroad. He believes that in the future the revival is to play as conspicuous a part in the religious experience of the world as it has played in the past. He believes that his efforts have been successful bcause he appeals to the conscience in the old-fashioned way. He is a revivalist pure and simple, an evangelist working to convert men by old-fashioned gospel preaching, and he has had wonderful success. He is justified in his belief that the most effective way to bring people into the church is to preach the gospel to them. His experience is standing testimony against the theory that revivals are out of date-——Inter Ocean. People are no more patriotic now than they were a few years ago, notwithstanding the greatly increased amount of powder burned in celebration of our national holiday. Money is plentiful now, and the small boy took a whole week in which to make his patriotism manifest, during which time the welkin did ring in a way that would have been very gratifying to our revolutionary heroes, could they but have been brought back from the great beyond for the time. Women, some women, have long sought to have a hand in gov- ernmental affairs through the ballot-box; but, except in isolated cases, she has been forced to be content with ruling the world through rocking the cradle. But now she is in danger of losing even that remote share in affairs of state. A Swiss inventor has pro- duced an apparatus which attaches to the cradle, and when the embryo statesman does a little lung-practicing stunt the air waves set in motion operates upon a set of wires, by which a phonograph sings a lullaby, and at the same time the youngster is rocked by another set of wires. When the crying ceases the song and rocking stops and the artificial nurse gets a rest till the next time the baby cries, But, as women are becoming so engrossed in business and club affairs, this invention will prove a boon to anxious papas. A number of Republican papers have paid considerable attention to the charge that a representative of the labor unions in New York accepted money for his own use and benefit as a consideration for the settlement of strikes. The Omaha Bee, a Republican paper with anti-monopoly tendencies, provides an interesting hint to these critics when it says that “for every walking delegate who accepts bribes to betray his people there must be some employer to pay the bribes. Bribe-taking and bribe-giving are equally condemned by law-abiding citizenship.”—Aberdeen Herald. The Mormon temple at Salt Lake Is no doubt the most substantial and well constructed religious edifice in the United States, if not in the world. Corner stone laid April 6, 1853, cap stone April April 6, 1892, and dedi- cated April 6, 1893, over forty years of constant labor being consumed in its construction. This magnificent struc- ture, 200 feet long, 100 feet wide, is built entirely of Utah white granite, beautifully carved, symbolic of the Mormon faith, surmounted by six tow- ers, the highest being 280 feet from the ground, supporting a bronze statue of the angel Maroni. The cost of this building is about $6,000,000, The census returns show that the number of children in the United States between the ages of ten and fifteen who are working for their liv- ing in one million seven hundred and fiity thousand. Captain Scott, of the Discovery ex: pedition, has penetrated farthur south than any other explorer. In 1902 his sledges reached a latitude of 82 de- grees 17 minutes south. They were 532% miles away from from the pole. Tnis is 2°8 miles nearer than Borch- grevink w:nt in 1900. Captain Scott reports that the antarctic continent or “Victoria Land,” could be seen stretching many miles ahead of him to the southward.

Taylor has resigned as head waiter of the «ainier-Grand, and Mr, John Bailey is acting for the pres- ent. Mr. Ed. McDonald, Mr. B. M. Moore and Mr, Frank Banner, all of Frank- lin, did business in Seattle within the past week. Mr. A. Berry, who at one time was very generally known in Seattle, has just returned from a twelve month yoyage to South Africa. Mr. A. R. Todd, the attorney, writes that he has left Portland for Spokane, and will look over the field at that point with an eye single to locating. Mr. and Mrs. Phil Nelson tendered a most delightful dinner party to his old friend Rey. J. Gordon McPherson at their cosy home on Beacon Hill on Wednesday evening. Mr, Gordon Carter, of Franklin, who spent the Fourth in Seattle, did the wise thing before returning home by purchasing an elegant lot from the firm of McGraw & Kittenger. Owing to the ‘inclemency of the weather the picnic given by the char- ity workers over at Brighton Beach on last Saturday was not largely at- tended. Mrs, Johanna Johnson has filed a suit for divorce from David Johnson on the grounds of desertion. The par- ties are well known in this city, and after twenty-five years of blissful mar- ried life they have agreed to disagree. If you saved your last summer's ice cream suit it begins to feel as though you can use it very advantageously for a couple of months, the past cold weather to tne contrary notwithstand- ing. Miss Mable G, Walker, formerly of Tacoma, writes a friend in this city from her new home, Denver, Colo., to the effect that she is much pleased with that place, and has prospects for passing a most pleasant summer in the Rockies.

Rufe Turner, Seattle's dusky prize fighting champion, had another bout last Wednesday evening, and as usual Rute got his man. He owns a resort in the tenderloin district, where his admirers, it is said, nightly congre- gate to shake the “boy's hand” just because he is so very clever. Miss Mable Dixon, who underwent a critical surgical operation at the hospital, has sufficiently recovered to be awe to go to the home of her parents, and is rapidly recovering from the severe ordeal. Miss Dixon is one of Seattle's most talented young ladies of color, especially among the younger set. “The Forum” is the name of a neat eight page paper issued by Mr. and Mrs, J. H. Ryan, which claims Tacoma as its home, Mr, Ryan was formerly connectea with this paper as solicitor. As soon as the first issue was out both of the proprietors left for a month’s visit at their old home in Chilicothe, Ohio, with Mr. Ryan's parents. ‘The South Seattle News, with Mr. Reed as business manager and Mr. Emmett Clark editor, has been voted the official paper of South Park. The ‘News is published in Georgetown, and is naturally opposed to that hamlet ‘being annexed to Seattle, as sooner or later it hopes to see Georgetown incorporated and be the official organ of that berg. Mr. Dan Myers, the well known ‘Sunnydale rancher, seems to be mak- ing more success out of the ranching business than any other Afro-Ameri- can in this section of the state. A few more Dan Myers and the Negroes would have jobs for themselves that would pay twice as much as anything they can ever expect to get in this or any other city. Sacred concerts are being held every Sunday evening from 8 to 9 o'clock during the months of July and August at the First Methodist Protest- ant church, corner Third avenue and rine street.

Last Sunday a large and ap- preciative audience listened to a se- lect and well rendered program. Next Sunday, the 12th, Herr Peje Storck, the famous Swedish pianist, assisted by Miss Helm, will furnish the entire pro- gram. Speaking of Herr Storck the La Guide Musical, Brussels, says: “Mr, Storek is a consummate artist. His touch is of down, full of color and fire, His playing is the purest poetry. The whole jury, headed by M. Gevaert, loudly applauded this remarkable con- current after his ‘morcean au choix,’ which had put the whole house into a fever of enthusiasm. AMUSEMENTS On next Friday and Saturday nights at the Grand the Richard J. Jose min- strels will be the bill. Manager Cort closed up finally the contract last Wednesday. The organization is headed by Richard J. Jose, the best known and most popular contra-tenor in the country. Among those whom he has associated with him are William McDonald, basso, late with the Bos- tonians, William Keller Mack, Frank Cuchman, the Lenado brothers and more than thirty-five other minstrel stars. The show will be running over with the latest music and new, catchy jokes, The olio is bristling with inter- esting things. The stage settings will be far above the average minstrel show that visits the Grand. The reg- ular house prices have been reduced for this extraordinary attraction, and Manager Cort expects the house to be crowded both nights. The seats go on sale next Wednesday. A treat for amusement lovers is in store at the seattle theatre on next Sunday evening, when the Pollard Lil liputian Opera Company, sixty strong, will make their appearance in the fa- mous comedy opera, “The Belle of New York.” ‘This organization of clever juvenility first appeared in this country about two years ago, and made tre- mendous hits in all the cities in which they appeared, Their success in San Francisco especially was phenomenal, where they sang for six consecutive weeks, and afterward played a return engagement. They have just returned from an extended tour of the Orient, ‘where they met with continuous re- ceptons in all the large towns, In /.anilla they were taken in charge by ‘the exclusive army set, and many so- ‘cial events were arranged for thelt ‘benefit. The company is stronger, both numerically and artistically than when they were here before. Master Teddies McNamara is the new come- dian, and he is said to be as clever as the best in that line of more mature years. Daphne Pollard, the sparkling soubrette of the companw, will have her great part of Cora Angelique in “The Belle,” and is a bigger hit than ever. New scenery and costumes will be shown, designed especially for the Lilliputians. Their repertoire has been extended by the addition of a number o . e latest successful musical com- edies, among which is the Webber and Fields hit, “Pousse Cafe.” No one should miss this opportunity to hear the brightest bunch of children in the world in the brightest of musi- cal comedies.
