Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The VOL. X. NO. 7 POLITICAL POT=PIE Does it mean that the Spokane Chronicle gets its "elixir of life" from the same source as does the Spokesman-Review when it uses language like this: "Judge John E. Humphries of Seattle announces that he is a candidate for governor of Washington and has been for the last two years. Other men of merit are suggested for the office, among the possibilities being Attorney A. G. Avery of Spokane, Charles I. Roth of Whatcom county, Senator Baker of Klickitat, Dr. J. J. Smith of King county and Gilbert Hunt of Walla Walla. The field is open and several thousand other citizens of the state have a right to cherish ambitions if they choose to do so; but they will do well to remember that over at Olympia there is a bald-headed man with chin whiskers who is still very much alive. His name is Henry McBride. Because Henry McBride has a bald head and has chin whiskers is no excuse or reason why he should be elected governor of this state, nor is it anything against him. Mr. Humphries has launched his gubernatorial basket and if it catches votes enough he will be nominated; if it does not he will not be. --- Nothing in the way of an editorial excerpt to the mind of the average politician of this state is more suggestive and to the point than the following from the Walla Walla Union, Senator Ankeny's personal property and political organ: "The Seattle Times suggests that The Union is for sale. The Times is mistaken. It is not for sale, neither are its editorial and news columns." The editor of the Union herein says a mighty little, but means a mighty heap, and no one knows that better than the editor and owner of the Times. Both the editorial and news columns of the Times are and have been for sale to the highest bidder ever since they have been under the control of the Blethens, and no one is more cognizant of that fact than the present owner of the Union. **** Below is a nasty little excerpt from a nasty little pin-head pot-washer in a measly little "weakly"—The Newport News—which is reproduced so that the many readers of this paper can see what the Evergreen state really has in the shape of journalistic abortions: "Judge John E. Humphries, of Seattle, is among those who aspire to the official shoes of Governor McBride, and judging from his counterfeit presentment in half tone he is capable of filling them quite." It would have been just as easy for the News to have made mention of the fact and let it go at that as to have mentioned it and then ridiculed Mr. Humphries' likeness, but that would have been human; a characteristic which the editor of the News seems totally devoid of. This paper is married to no political aspirant, but it gives all Republican aspirants an equal show in its columns, whether friend or foe. * * * It would appear that the Snohomish Tribune does not take kindly to John E. Humphries' gubernatorial candidacy if the following excerpt from it is a criterion: "A Good Side-Stepper."—Judge John E. Humphries, of Seattle, wants to sit in Governor McBride's chair. He wanted to be U. S. Senator some years ago, but stepped aside to give way to Thomas Humes; then he wanted to be supreme judge last year, but stepped aside for Harold Preston. Wonder for whom the genial judge will step aside next summer." It sometimes pays to be a good side-stepper, even in politics, for in so doing you may strengthen your opportunities of becoming a commanding front-stepper. Politics takes some queer steps at times. . . . While it is true that The Seattle Republican Pie-Maker has been rather active in political prognostications for the past few months, nevertheless he thinks the East Washingtonian is in error when it uses the following: "Not a week passes that Seattle or her environs do not announce a candidate for Governor or some other big office. Last week J. E. Humphries declared his intention to impale the highest office in the State on the point of the spear of his ambitions. This is another step in the Republican plan to defeat McBride, the only real conscientious and honorable governor in all respects that party ever had in this State." You are rather broad in your assertions, neighbor. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1903 Granting that Governor McBride is just, good, honorable and upright as you say he is, yet we believe there are others, for an instance both the lamented Governor Ferry as well as our own and only John H. McGraw. * * * Its like gaul and wormwood to the Colfax Gazette to think of the next governor of the state coming from Seattle and it relieves itself of the following piece of billingsgate: "A Seattle paper is boosting John E. Humphries of that city for the gubernatorial nomination on the republican ticket next year. It will be well for the politicians of Seattle and the Sound country to remember that they defeated the railroad commission bill in the last legislature. It will also be well for them to remember that the issues of the next campaign will be named by Eastern Washington men and that the "double cross" which the farmers of this country received last session cannot be repeated again. And while they are remembering those things, we will offer the suggestion that if they think that they have any more coming than they have already received they had better confer with the "east side" just a little before cutting the pie. Seattle may be able to do some things some of the time, but she must not conceive the idea that she can do all of the things all of the time. Seattle has all coming that she can get and with one-fifth of the delegates in the next state convention you will find she has a good deal coming. * * * Whenever some of the little two by four quacking papers of the state desire to do a candidate some local harm because, forsooth, they have another, they spring that old chestnut "he's a railroad candidate." The following from the Colton News Letter will of itself more fully explain what is wanted to be brought out in this connection than a volume of words: It is amusing to note the anxiety of the railroad wing of the Republican party to find some suitable candidate for governor. Now it's Hunt and again its Humphries, and yet again some other man. The east and west sides of the state are clashing on this question already, but dare not carry the thing too far for fear of open rupture and consequent weakening of their not too numerous forces. Meantime the rank and file keep on endorsing Henry McBride. Mr. Humphries is as far from being a railroad candidate as is Governor McBride, and yet Mr. Humphries, if elected, will be just as fair toward the railroads as toward the farmers. He will have no special favors for either Not disturbed nor in any ways agitated as to the number of prospective gubernatorial candidates, according to the Olympia Capital, Governor McBride moves on in the even tenor of his way. The Capital says: "The sound of the Seattle Republican horn as it announces its regular weekly gubernatorial candidate does not interfere with the steady stream of sawdust which flows from Governor McBride's steadily vibrating wood-saw." Time and time again do persons plungs headlong over the great Niagara rapids because they will not heed the danger horn signal warning them that the rapids are below. When it is too late then they strain their every nerve to prevent an awful destruction, but the hour of grace has passed and over they go, leaving but a wreck behind. Tell your friend that there is something doing in gubernatorial circles, and he had better get a move on himself or he won't be in it. * * * It is barely possible that Editor W. D. Mays' enthusiasm has gotten the better of his judgment when he makes use of the following thoughts: "That paper published by a Negro at Seattle is edited with distinguished ability, showing large brain behind it. It is a little daft on politics, but such a man should be encouraged." As has been repeatedly sad in these columns it is the aim and object of the management of The Seattle Republican to give to the public a weekly paper that will be readable by everybody without regard to their color or nationality, and if Brer. Mays is to be believed he has accomplished his aim and desire. Historical Society LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 UBLICAN 24, 1903 PRICE FIVE CENTS Hon. John E. Humphries, of Seattle, will be a candidate for governor of Washington, subject to the decision of the next Republican state convention. Mr. Humphries is thoroughly well known throughout the state, and has many friends among prominent Republican politicians, who look upon the gentleman's candidacy with favor. John E. Humphries is a man thoroughly well versed in law, possesses a commanding physical mein and has a pleasing personality that is attractive in the extreme. In the past, the gentleman has on several occasions sacrificed his best inclinations and his personal ambitions because he was led to believe that in so doing he was lending aid and comfort to his political associates. Now, however, Mr. Humphries has made up his mind that he will not be sidetracked under any consideration, and will proceed to make the race for the gubernatorial nomination, and has reasonable assurances of success. The White River Journal believes the Republican party of the state of Washington would not make any mistake by selecting John E. Humphries as its standard bearer. White River Journal. *** Some people are so untrue to everybody that they do not see how one can be even true to themselves, and the excerpt below from the Olympian, of which J. O'Brien Scobey is the owner, is a swift witness: Samuel H. Piles of Seattle has announced his candidacy for the United States Senate. While this fact has been generally published in the papers during the past three of four days, the Post-Intelligencer has evidently not yet heard of it. There are good and sufficient reasons why the Post-Intelligencer has not announced, not only Mr. Piles' candidacy, but the candidacy of no one. First the P.-I. is a newspaper, and has a much more important mission to perform than the announcing of political aspirants. Secondly the P.-I. is a Republican newspaper, and gets its political instructions from its party conventions and not from individuals. Thirdly, the P.-I. is for that King County candidate that can demonstrate some tangible strength outside of Seattle. Instead of trying to overlook Mr. Piles' candidacy the P.-I. at the proper time will make a fight for him if he is the available man in King County. The P.-I. isc not only true to itself, but it is likewise true to the Republican party and equally true to King County, and that is a good deal more than the Olympian can boast of under its present management. * * * The political Pie-Makers on the West side don't seem to have troubles enough of their own, for often they jump over the Cascades and want to trot out candidates over here. Some are assiduously engaged in booming Hon. Walter J. Reed, of this city, for Congress. But they are figuring without their host, for Mr. Reed emphatically declares that he is not in line for that place. But his friends are trying to persuade him to let his name be used for the position of state senator. To this Mr. Reed answers that he "is in the hands of his friends," which is taken to mean that he would not be averse to thus looking after the people's interests, if they wish him to do so. *** Congressman W. L. Jones is not saying very much. In the vernacular he is "sawing wood and saying nothing." Some of the Sound papers have tried to scare up some other candidate on this side of the mountains, but as Mr. Jones hails from Eastern Washington, word from this pare of the state has more weight. Perhaps the following from the Spokane "Spokesman-Review" comes near the truth: "Right now it looks as if Spokane would have no candidate for congress. Congressman Jones has influential local supporters who want a clear field for him. The friends of Governor McBride might bring out a local man for congress unless Mr. Jones' friends locally are willing to let the McBride people have the Spokane delegation. On the other hand the anti-McBride element might insist upon Mr. Jones' friends helping him out in this country, on penalty of their bringing out a local candidate. In this way Mr. Jones may be placed between two fires in Spokane county; but Mr. Jones is an agile politician, and is likely to successfully surmount any difficulty which arises."—Yakima Washingtonian. * * * The entrance of Sam Piles into the senatorial contest scheduled for eighteen months hence is interesting THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Publishes the POLITICAL NEWS AND COMMENTS of this state every week. The prognostications of the Political Pot-Pie Column is admitted by all partisans and factionalists in the state to come nearer hitting the "bull's eye" than any other in the state. Many of the leading politicians of the state keep a complete file of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, and hardly a week passes but that some politician writes to the office adding his testimony, which corroborates the above allegation. that covers the entire state as does no other publication in the state, and those persons in the state who are deeply interested in the politics of the state are beginning to learn that fact and are slowly but surely increasing the subscription list of the paper. YOU certainly are not posted on the politics of the state unless you are a regular and careful reader of The Seattle Republican. You certainly will not be able to make a successful candidacy for any state office unless you are posted on politics, and if you do not read THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, the only paper in the state that makes a specialty of Political Prognostication both in and out of season, you certainly can not think for a minute that you are posted on politics. Regular, Reliable, Readable, Republican which can not be said of a great many papers for which you spend your money, and being, perhaps, far removed from the political center, you have no means of either verifying many of their wild statements, or, hearing a contrary opinion, you naturally are ignorant of the real situation, in which condition you absolutely would not be if you were a constant reader of the best political paper published in the state. It's up to you neighbor whether you do politics on BUSINESS PRINCIPLES or like a school boy. If on business principles you intend to work on, start out properly by subscribing for to the Republicans of the state at large for the further reason that King county will, as usual, begin the contest right at home. It is to be assumed the senatorial contest this year will be strictly between King and Pierce counties, unless Governor McBride should inject himself into the contest, which is unlikely in view of the fact that he is having all he can attend to to keep up the fight to retain his present position without seeking higher honors. From all indications at the present time Senator Foster will have the united support of Pierce county as it is understood State Senator E. S. Hamilton will not be a candidate and will support Mr. Foster. In King county, however, it will be very different. It will have an array of candidates both real and possible. Mr. Piles is now a candidate in every sense of the word. He is the first one to make an openavowal of his intentions, but it is always safe to assume that John L. Wilson is a candidate. He always is. E. C. Hughes, a well known lawyer, president of the Post-Intelligencer Publishing Company, and prominent in Seattle politics, is one of the men "talked of." Jacob Furth, who sought an opening at the last session of the legislature, but failing to find it went home again, has supporters who would like to see him enter. Harold Preston is said to be contemplating another attempt, but with at least five of the King County state senators against him from the start and with meager support on the outside his chances are slim indeed. And, then, too, Mr. Preston did not take his last defeat in a spirit which would tend to make him many friends. So it would look from this distance as if Mr. Piles is the most formidable candidate King county has produced and it would seem also that the field will narrow down to a contest between Foster and Piles or between Tacoma and Seattle. Wilson has a big newspaper to boom him and fight his enemies, but that is about all. The interest therefore in the entry of Mr. Piles into the arena is extremely interesting and a pretty fight between two strong men will result.—Walla Walla Union. NORTHWEST NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The well known steamer, the North Pacific, struck on the rock off Marrowstone Point, near Fort Flagler, at 2 o'clock Sunday morning, and went to the bottom. The passengers and crew made their escape, but the old vessel that for so many years has plowed the waters of Puget Sound is a total wreck. No effort will be made to save her. There has been something doing in our sister city, Ballard, during the week. With the grand lodge of the knights of cold water, the I. O. G. T., in session and the Elks' carnival holding forth there has been "all kinds" of entertainment provided. It is not speaking very well for American enterprise to note that Oregon is the only state that has anything of a display at the Japanese exposition now being held at Osaka. It would seem that that is an opportunity to exploit American products and court Oriental trade that would have been taken advantage of more than has been. One of the best moves that has been taken in the interest of Alaska is the visit of the senatorial committee now in that territory. When our law makers get an idea of the magnitude, conditions, and importance of that country, then may we expect to see suitable legislation enacted, and the territory take the place it is destined to hold as a part of our common heritage. The season is so far advanced now that the wheat crop in this state is safe from possible harm; harvest has already begun in some localities, a good yield is assured, which with an assurance of good prices, will continue, the farmers of our Inland Empire on "easy street." The unsettled conditions at Bremerton has caused a good many workmen to leave the navy yard for other points, and a shortage of workmen is reported in some departments. This is apt to be the case until the department makes it plain, by its actions, that there will be no more discrimination used. An evident sign of prosperous conditions and the growing importance of the Bellingham Bay district is shown in the fact that they have begun leveling down some of their surplus hills and filling in the tide flats at Fairhaven. An improvement both ways. Seattle parties have secured the contract to erect a new double set of barracks at Fort Casey, which are to accommodate two more companies of artillery at that post. Stations are to be erected at Port Townsend and Fort Casey, for the transmition of wireless telegraphy at once, which if they are found to operate successfully will be taken over by the government. The Canadian authorities, in abolishing fish traps in the waters of British Columbia, have done more to perpetuate the salmon fisheries in that country than many artificial hatcheries could accomplish. Fish traps should be abolished everywhere. Harrington, a rustling burg in Lincoln county, on the Great Northern railroad, is out with a neat descriptive pamphlet, setting forth to the world the attractions of that place, and the advantages it and surrounding country offers to homeseekers. Harrington is well located in the midst of the wheat fields of the Big Bend country and has fallen upon the proper way to make itself known. "Straw Day" is becoming a feature of east of the mountain life. On this day, specially designated, the farmers all turn out and cover the main roads, leading to the market town, with straw, which keeps down the dust that otherwise rises in clouds to make travel almost insufferable. As everybody must use the highways to market their wheat the suppression of the dust is a great boon. A new sort of holiday has been inaugurated in some of the Western Washington towns that should become more and more popular and recur as often as practicable. It is "Stump Day." Instead of donning picnic attire and standing around, looking bored, all day, the men strip for business and wrestle with stumps, logs, etc., in the streets, build big bonfires and have a general "clarin' up" time. The ladies do their part in serving extra nice meals. Thus is civic beauty and convenience advanced. Suitable grounds are being prepared at Lake Stevens, near Hartford Junction, and a Chautauqua Assembly will meet there in August. There will also be meetings of various other organizations, such as the Christian Endeavorer, lodges, etc., during the time. Reports of large irrigation schemes are given out from Yakima and Kittitas counties that will make many thousands of acres of what is now desert land, to blossom and fruit in an abundant measure, all of which will add wealth and importance to this grand State of Washington.

If on BLICAN AY Seattle, Wash. XN Tales of the Town & Two rather modest looking ladies stood watching a passing sister who was clothed in.the most up-to-date toggery as though some real thing was in sight and having a desire to know what could so attract the attention of the ladies, a glance was ventured at the passing lady, and this is what was seen, one hand pulling her skirts across her lower extremities as though those parts would drop off in case her grasp was relaxed, and at the same time so elevating the front of her skirts as to exhibit her leg up to her knee, which, by the way, was covered with a highly colored gaudy hose and with a garter that would have made a dashing appearance around the neck of the most fastidious young dude, and in that predicament strut- ted up the street talking to a male companion like a windmill when her jaws were not working away on a wad of gum as though she was not almost exhibiting her nude form on the street. It is barely possible that the two ladies were wondering why she was not ar- rested for indecent exposure. eae With all the gallantness of a Chesterfield a rather nice appearing colored man met a white acquaintance on the street, who was accompanied by a female com- panion, and wishing to show his white friend that he knew how to be polite he raised his hat as only Ches- terfield or some one who is well versed in his arts of politeness can do, but to his surprise his white friend, though in the presence of a lady, merely bowed and grunted in a manner similar to what might be ex- pected of an Illinois pig and passed on. The colored man thought it rather peculiar for a man as well schooled in politeness as his white friend should be to act, but he thought no more of it and passed on. Some white friends, however, of the under polite man observed the whole affair and said to themselves : “Evi- dently that fellow has never read the life of George Washington and learned from it that the ‘father of his country’ never let even a Negro have more politeness than he, “T do not exactly understand why Sam Piles should cause his candidacy for the United States senate to be announced and then leave the same day for New York, to be absent for a month or more.

Yes, left the very same day, and did not call one of the gang in to have something in honor of the event. Well, wouldn’t that jar your star spangled banner,’ all came thick and fast from a political bum who makes a specialty of hitting every man who comes out for office for a small loan of say fifty cents or more to fix the boys, By the time Piles gets back he thinks things will be cooled off to stich an extent that his picking will be poor and he therefore considers he has lost a first class oppor- tunity to get in his work, Prof. H. R. Foster, one of the most efficient teachers connected with the state university, has resigned, and, owing to the lateness of the season for employing teachers, the regents are up a tree for a man to fill Prof, Foster’s shoes. Serves them right, for the brutal treatment the regents accorded some of the teachers in the school prior to the last commencement, They were unceremoniously let out without warning. So long as the regents follow the tactics that they have for the past few years of letting teachers out without so much as preferring any charges against them the teachers are pursuing the proper course when they quit without giving the regents any warning and take more reliable positions, In a few years the faculty at the State University will be completely demoralized and all because men are discharged evidently to please the whim of some disgruntled regent that does not know beans about the conducting of a university of learning. see “Gee Wizz, ain’t it hot,” has been doing over time for the past week.

This incident comes to us from the workshop of the great chemist, Faraday. One day when Faraday was out a workman accidentally knocked into a jar of acid a silver cup, It disappeared, having been eaten by the acid, and could not be found, The acid held it in solution, The workman was in great distress and perplexity, It was an utter mystery to him where the cup had gone, So far as his knowledge went it had gone out of existence forever, When the great chemist came in and heard the story, he threw some chemicals into the jar, and in a moment every particle of silver was precipitated to the bottom. He then lifted out the silver nugget and sent it to the smith, where it was recast into a beautiful cup. If a finite chemist can handle the particles of a silver cup in this way, what cannot the infinite chemist do with the particles of human body when dissolved in the great jar of the uni-~ verse? He can handle the universe as easily as Fara~ day can handle an acid jar, and can control it at will, Whatever the particles of the resurrected body may be Paul says it is going to be changed so as to become a spiritual body. It is sown a natural body, i. ¢, a fleshly or animal body—it is raised a spiritual body. Can God do that? Yes, he does things equal to that, He changes the black, unsightly charcoal, or carbon, into the everlasting and sparkling diamond. Are we fearful lest this cannot be? The inspired apostle says: “Be not fearful, for all this is the work of God, and God is omnipotent.” He brings forward the works of God in nature, and shows us that in na- ture God is doing things just as marvelous, What is true rest? Not idleness, but peace of mind. To rest from sin, from sorrow, from fear, from doubt, from care; this is true rest. Above all, to rest from the worst weariness of all—knowing one’s duty, and yet not being able to do it. Perfect rest, in perfect work; that surely is the rest of blessed spir~ its, till the final consummation of all things. — C, Kingsly, You missed the best Served in Seattle unless you ate at Major Conant’s Place in the Basement of the Bailey Block.

There is a distinct rumble of discontent in the far East. Russia is persistently aggressive, and with one purpose, fixed and determined, to get all she thinks she wants, is causing Japan and other nations to fume a good deal. What the outcome will be is hard to tell, but it is about an even chance for a clash at arms, somewhere, by someone. The islands, great and small, connected with our Philippine possessions, are so numerous that Uncle Sam has not yet had time to round them all up and take account of stock, Recently he found Johnnie Bull had climbed up on some of them, lying near his Borneo monkey ranch, and was trying to claim them as his own, but Sammy says nit, and while he has lots of islands down that way he has none to spare, and is even talking of buying some more from France, A great lad that Uncle Sam is. Money Not All. It is recorded of Cornelius Vanderbilt that before he died he said to a friend: “I don’t see what good it does me—all this money that you say is mine. I can’t eat it; I can’t spend it; in fact, I never saw it and never had it in my hands for a moment, I dress no better than my private secretary and can not eat as much as my coachman, I live in a big servant’s boarding house, am bothered to death by beggars, have dyspepsia, can not drink champagne, and most of my money is in the hands of others, who use it mainly for their own benefit.” A couple of years ago, or such a matter, the world was startled by the state- ment that the great billion dollar steel trust was to pay its superintendent, Charles M. Schwab, a salary of $1,000,000 a year, The congratulations heaped upon, and the envies flung at him are still fresh in memory, but before these scarcely cease comes the report that Mr. Schwab, because of the responsibility and the work of the position, or the weight of his salary, or both, is so broken in health as to have to give up his work to others and take the rest cure. How many now are there who would exchange places and physical conditions with Mr, Schwab. No doubt Mr. Schwab would be glad to change places with any honest, healthy working man who is getting his two to five dollars a day. Surely true happiness and comfort cometh not through great wealth... ; Exit Pope Leo XIII. With the death of Pope Leo XIII a great, and it is generally conceded a good man, has gone to his re- ward, All nations, all people, whether they are in sympathy with the tenets of the church of Rome or not, agree that he was a great man, an able statesman, a wise diplomat. As the head of the Catholic church in the world, he had great power for good or bad in his hands; that he chose to use it for good is a cause for congratulations, and judging from the outside only, greater tolerance and forbearance have been accorded those not in sympathy with them, and higher ideals of citizenship, and Christian living have obtained throughout the membership of the organization, of which he was the accredited head, for over a quarter of a century, that possibly ever before, Peace to his ashes. Eternal Vigilance the Price. Bathe constantly, Washing yourself violently all day will not excuse abstinence from the tub for months to come. Cleanness can not be concentrated, Virtue can not be established once for all, To remain clean we must wash, To have a fair garden we must weed and trim it often, To remain virtuous we need con- stant moral exercise and scrubbing. Turning the ras- cals out every now and then is like taking a bath every Christmas. We should stay clean. Every once in a while we remember that our system of political indolence and indifference, by which public office be- comes a private snap, is the mother of perjury, bribery and theft, and we do a little scrubbing. Taking a bath when we begin to itch is not sufficient. The president of the United States is now taking an admirable course in treating the Postoffice Department to soap and water, What was he doing when he gave Mr, Payne his place? He was encouraging, in an aggravated form, just that view of public duty which is respon- sible for postoffice frauds, municipal steals, legislative bribery, and all unhappy moral taints, Eternal vigi- lance is the price of liberty, and also of decency, Un- flagging courage is necessary in public and in private, Let us consider these things, in the bath tub in the morning, and form the habit of exacting cleanness in aspects of our life even more important.—Colliers. The failure of the Iowa Democrats to reaffirm alle- giance to the Populist platform adopted by National Democratic party at St. Louis three years ago, under the dictation of W. J. Bryan, is liable to cause a spas- modic revival of the defunct Populist party, If Bryan would be honest and admit that he is a Populist and take his following off into the delusive fields of free silver and fiatism the political situation would be vastly simplified for our esteemed friends, the enemy. Bryan is a Populist, but he persists in posing as a Democrat. However, as it is not our funeral, we are not worrying, but it would be better for the nation to have a good healthy opposition party than to have them so badly rent asunder as to be unable to tell which is it. The Filipinos are not all passified, have not all ac- cepted the sovereignty of the United States without protest, and doubtless troops will have to be kept there for a long time to come, but we note the fact that the forces there are gradually being reduced, and reports of conflicts with the natives are few and far between, When it is remembered that it took over four hundred years to pacify the natives in this coun- try, or to convince them that it was useless to resist the onward marth of civilization, surely no fair-mind- ed person will but admit that the record for the Phil- ippine Islands is a.good one. Troops are needed there to protect them from themselves, while the process of civilization is being worked out. The treasury, as a result of successive years of unprecedented prosperity of the people is overflowing, There are available cash assets of more than $231,000,- ooo—enough to construct the Panama canal and im- prove the Ohio river to a permanent depth of nine feet, There is a stock of gold that surpasses the wild- est dreams of the avaricious conquerors of the Incas. And on this first day of July there is no sign of a check in the steady stream of wealth pouring into the nation’s coffers, At the present rate the surplus will pay the cost of the Panama canal—and more—during the period required for its construction, In fact, the excess over the estimate is almost equal to that risk! ° Afro-American The Low of Both Races. The Chicago Tribune’s staff correspondent, writ- ing from New Orleans under date of July 12, makes a comparison between the white,and black races as seen by him in their respective Slum lives. In the course of his dispatch this correspondent says: “One of the things which will strike the most cas- ual observer is the persistence with which white men who are undeniably good friends of the Negroes rep- resent the entire black race as being grossly immoral and difficult to deal with. At all times, and in all places, from the most intelligent, the most impartial, and the most shrewd white observers in the South one hears that a Negro man, as well as a Negro woman, is absolutely devoid of the slightest idea of morality, that he is constantly degenerating, and that he is be- coming more and more of the brute every day. There must be something in these statements, be- cause, otherwise, they would not be repeated so per- sistently, and by men whose opinion is entitled to all respect. Nevertheless, the casual, and, on the whole, quite superficial examination which I have been able to make of the Negroes in the city does not seem to bear out the statements at all, I have been into Negro slums in most of the large cities in the South and I feel obliged to say that on the average the criminal class so-called among the Negroes is far more law-abiding, far less noisy, and far more apt to have their fun by themselves than the sim- ilar class in white slums in Northern cities. This ob- servation will probably be resented by Southern men, but it is honestly made, and after looking at the most debased class of Negroes who are admittedly in the cities, it seems to me clear that, however debased, however immoral they may be in their private life, the side they show to the casual observer leads me to be- lieve that they are not nearly as black as they are painted. Here in New Orleans, besides studying the roust- about Negro on the great levee, which was once the glory of the Crescent City, I spent an evening in some of the Negro slums in New Orleans, and I come out of the little expedition quite uncontaminated and quite surprised at the decency and good order of the sup- posed debased Negroes. There once was an alderman in New Orleans by the name of Story, who conceived the idea of confining the disreputable class, both white and colored, to a certain portion of the city. His idea was successfully carried out, but unfortunately for him the people per- sisted in calling that portion of New Orleans “Story- ville,” and so it is known to this day. On my way to the distinctly Negro section I was brought face to face with the most flagrant exhibition of the social evil among the whites I have ever seen in any city in the United States, and my investigations in that direction have been varied, For several city blocks there is a continuous line of little houses, each of which is occupied by a white woman, who stands at the door all the evening long in short skirts, with bare arms, and extravagantly dec- ollete dresses, if such one can call the garments these women affect, Such a startling exhibition of vice and debauchery as this, such open solicitation from the door steps, such an outrageous exhibition in public by gaslight of unadorned female charms, would not be permitted in New York or Chicago for fifteen minutes. The worst episodes in the tenderloin are a Sunday school compared to a five minutes’ walk through the most populous white section of “Storyville” in New Orleans, After having gone through this experience I was most agreeably surprised that the Negro gambling house, dance hall, saloon, crap shooting parlor, etc., all under one roof, to which we were bound, was ex- ceedingly a tame affair, I saw the most debased class of Negroes in the city of New Orleans. I spent a considerable time in that joint, and there was not a sus- picion of a fight, nothing which even approached the extravagant debauchery a block farther up the street. Men and women came in and out, a little gambling was going on in an interior room, there was some drinking at the bar, a good deal of familiarity between the two sexes, and an occasional expose of gaudy hosiery, with malice intent, but for the most part the exhibition was simply downright stupid vulgarity. A Race of Bullies, The above meets our highest approval and it is along the very lines that this paper from time to time has maintained. There are just as many criminals among the whites as among the blacks, and that too, in proportion to their actual numbers, The white criminals commit as many henious crimes as the black ones. The white criminals commit rape just as often as the black criminal, and even more so, but when com- mitted by the former its only crime subject to a few years’ imprisonment, but when committed by the latter it’s “an unmentionable crime” and burning at the stake is the penalty, north, south, east or west if the injured party is white. The awful crime that has been com- mitted by an unknown wretch at once becomes a crime that only the charred’ remains of the committer is a sufficient appeasment if it transpires later on that a Negro and not an Anglo-Saxon committed the crime. The dominant race in the United States is composed largely of bullies and blood thirsty semi-barbarians, who stand ready at any moment to throttle those of a weaker race among them if the members of such weaker race do not conform wholly to their ideas, and when there is no weaker race to throttle, they throttle each other as they are almost daily doing in Kentucky. The condition of this country is a sad one indeed, and unless some improvement is made along the lines of toleration to weaker races dwelling herein the much boasted Anglo-Saxon race sooner or later will find the forces of the world combined against it, and it will have to make the actual fight of its life to prevent extermination. ‘Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress. It is quite possible that the average person does not fully appreciate the importance of the congress of states that is to be held in this city August 8 to at, less than one month from now, It is, however, to be a gathering of more than passing importance, The Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress has, for more than a decade, been a powerful factor in the upbuilding of the states west of the Mississippi river comprising its jurisdiction, During its life it has been the political and commercial scope of the Trans-Mis- sissippi region expand, and during these years it has taken a prominent part in every movement tending to commercial advancement, The influence of the Trans- Mississippi Commercial Congress embraces the greater geographical part of the country, comprising twenty- four states and territories, and represents the business interests of twenty-two million people residing West of the Mississippi river, The recent achievements in the realm of national expansion adds to this territory our colonial possessions of the Far East, with their nine million of additional population. Aside from the commercial relations of this Western country with the Orient, there will be other topics to be discussed and legislation recommended to the National Congress, more directly affecting the people of the West. Among these may be enumerated irri- gation, railroad rates, improvement of harbors and waterways, the Governmental Department of Mines and Mining, good roads, commercial relations with the Central and South American Republics, beet sugar in- dustry, the encouragement of home manufactures, statehood for the Territories, legislation for Alaska, Isthmian canal, merchant marine, consular service, preservation of forests, postal service, etc. To Irrigate Ancient Babylon and Chaldea. Sir William Willcocks, late Director General of Reservoirs, Egypt, and the designer of the great Assuan dam, has turned his attention to the project of reclaiming the wonderfully fertile valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and proposes to make use of the canals and reservoirs which remain from an ancient civilization. This region was once known as the richest in the world, and its cities, Nineveh and Babylon, were the centers of a magnificent civilization, built upon the great agricultural resources of the valleys in which they were situated. It is pointed out that although desolation now reigns over a large part of the area under consideration, yet the land has steadily been gaining in fertility from the annual overflows of the rivers and from the fact that no extensive agricultural operations have taken anything from the soil. With the Bagdad railway completed to form a method of transportation, and a rebuilding of old irrigation works, the country could again take its place at the head of the agricultural regions of the world, for no other place is more favored for the production of cereal crops. Cane, cotton and tobacco will grow in tropic abundance, and it is confidently expected that capital can be interested from the financial centers of Europe. Labor can be had in abundance and at a low wage from India. In this connection it may be noted that the Carnegie Institute has taken steps looking toward an investigation of the causes of present aridity in that part of Syria which was the biblical Palestine, and was at one time marvelously fertile. Various reasons have been assigned for its present barren conditions, among them being the increase of alkali and the injurious effects which have followed complete deforestation.

There has been but little heard of him for some time, but he now figures in a damage suit for $50,00) against the city of Stamford, Conn,, for unlawful detainor in a quarantine station and the de- struction of valuable papers and manuscripts, among which was the second volume, just ready for the press, of “My Life in Many Countries.” Citizen Train was at one time a resident of Tacoma, and starting from there made a flying trip around the world, which was seized upon by that enterprising town as and advertising medium, George Francis is now seventy-five years young, with Dr. J.

He is the nephew of General Robert Smalls of Alabama, who became fam- ous in the great Civil War by boldly taking a rebel gunboat on which he was serving his master, and steaming into the union line. | In order to handle Republican poli- ‘tics among the colored men, one John Cragwell. who keeps a barber shop and forbids colored men to even go in 4t and attend to any business of any kind they may have with himself, his men or his customers, with the aid of Mr. Andrew R. Black and Mr, I. F, Norris, made bold to organize a politi: cal club last Friday night. Only a temporary organization was formed at the time and the organization is to meet July 3ist to complete the de- Ivey. John must be getting anxious about his political future to start in to taking snap judgments on the voters this early in the game. Look out, old man, THAT POLITICAL SIDE SHOW. (Communicated.) Fourteen stalwart sons of Ham met at the Mt. Zion Baptist church on last Friday evening at the call of the erst- while Cuban Barber, J. F. Cragwell, a self-styled leader, for the purpose of organizing a Colored Republican Club for no other purpose than furthering the little political ambitions of my friend, A. R. Black and me too. This august crowd, it is needless to say, was composed of the brainiest Brar. Cragwell could muster, for he had on tap imported products from the little city across the Bay and two other non- residents of whom my friend, Chair- man Black, placed on a committee to organize the stalwarts. This affair was So very raw until the Count, after the meeting adjourned, slipped into the P.l. office and had the reporter seratch his name as chairman and in- sert the name of A. E, Shavers, who was only a silent witness, for fear that it would hurt his business. Can such a creature be a leader of the intelli- gent Negroes of this great city and ‘state. Let every self-respecting colored ‘man attend the next meeting and give these sons of Eli such a drubbing as. they will not very soon forget, We are in favor of organizing a Young Men’s Republican Club upon the broad principles of true Republicanism, which knows no man because of his color or creed. The farmers and fruit growers of Colfax and vicinity will unite with business men of that city and erect a large cold storage warehouse and ice plant, for the handling of fruit, ete. The fruit growers will probably effect a co-operative orgamization for the handling of their products, independ- ent of the middle man. Proposals have been invited by Ma- jor Mills of the corps of government engineers for dredging in Gray’s Har- bor. He is authorized to expend $%0,- 000 on that work this year, The growing importance of Gray's Harbor as a shipping point, especially for lumber, makes this work a necessity. Referring to the Evansville mob of a few weeks ago, the Tacoma News says: “Evansville paid dearly for the stupid, senseless folly of its citizens. ‘Among the victims was a young girl who was driving with her parents, none of the party participating in the disorder, But it is undeniable that a mob is encouraged and disorder is stimulated by the mere presence of onlookers, people who for curiosity only stop to see what is going on. When mobs threaten to lynch a crim inal or storm a jail or do any other unlawful and unseemly act, the re tirement of those who do not intend te participate would probably result in the abandonment by the leaders of their purpose, Silence is said to give consent, and most crowds capable of great disorder are led by a handful of people who, if left alone and unsup: ported hy bundreds of well-meaning persons who have no desire to partic pate in crimes, would be easily con trolled by a squad of police and lodged in jail along with other law-breakers ‘The lesson of the little Allman girl's death is to. keep away from unruly ‘noha.’ If you want to borrow money on your diamonds, jewelry or watches at low rates, don’t. hunt up your “friends.” Go to the American Watch and Jewel- ry Co., 908 First Ave., private offices, and business strictly confidential. *** Reduced Rates East via the Northern Pacific.
