Seattle Republican

Historical Society The SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 8 SEATTLE, SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Some papers would have a kick coming, it matters not if the Lord was announced for a public office, and the following rather peculiar objections to the gubernatorial candidacy of John E. Humphries from the Fremont Colleague will bear out the above allegation: "J. E. Humphries has announced his candidacy for the governorship of this state. The only thing we don't like about this matter is that he is aspiring to the wrong office. The county and the state needs his services in the judiciary. Have you ever stopped to consider what an elegant judge he would make? If Humphries should be elected governor, the state would be put to the expense of buying another and larger executive chair." Well, he will make just as good a governor as he would judge, and, if nominated (and he will be if he gets votes enough), you will see one of the fairest executives you have seen for many years. Do not worry about the state having to buy a larger executive chair. Mr. Humphrey is perfectly willing to take his own stool with him if you will only elect him. There is still another class of politicians in Whitman county—"the defeaters"—who always either defeat or try to defeat the party nominee, and that too when the nominee has won his point by fair and honorable means. Every man that has risen to prominence in Whitman county proved to be a case of the soon ripe and soon rotten kind, owing to the fact that the defeaters never lost an opportunity to do him and this they always wilfully do, whether the man rose to prominence by either fair or foul means. --- VOL. X. NO. 8 POLITICAL POT=PIE Rumor has it that Hon. Samuel Piles, who left for New York the next day after he announced his candidacy for the United States senate, is now in consultation with L. S. J. Hunt, who, it is said, will furnish the sinews of war whereby Mr. Piles can see his way clear to make his fight for the senate. It will be remembered that when Mr. Hunt was here the last time settling up all his back bills, he in an interview in the Times declared that he strongly favored the election of S. H. Piles to the senate to succeed Addison G. Foster. Since leaving Seattle everybody knows that Mr. Hunt has made a gigantic fortune, and when he has money he plays with politics like a girl does with her doll baby, and if he has made up his mind to again control the politics of this state by first electing Sam Piles to the senate there will be something doing in political circles before this time next year. --- Notwithstanding the popularity of Sam Piles, a great many of the leading politicians and business men of the city are not much inclined to sit idly by and see the same kind of politics played next year in King county as has been played for the last two senatorial years. Instead of King county going to Olympia tied to the coat tail of one man they favor the legislators going to Olympia instructed to do the best thing possible to land a King county man in the senate. They no longer have a disposition to land King county's "favorite son" in the senate, but have a disposition to land a live, active and energetic King county man in the senate, who will go to Washington and do something for King county as well as for Hoop Pole township in Pierce county, because forsooth he happens to do business in that precinct. King county has a number of splendid men who will represent her interests in Washington as they should be and among that number is Sam Piles, but if Mr. Piles can not command a sufficient amount of outside strength to land him it should be the duty of the members of the legislature to take up some other man who can do so, and it should likewise be the duty of Mr. Piles to stand aside and let them do so, and the same rule should hold good as to other candidates. This paper is for KING COUNTY and not for some aspirant because he is said to be a favorite son. 宗 宗 宗 When the Colfax Commoner says that the rank and file in King county last year were in favor of the election of Harold Preston for United States senator, it is either talking through its hat or it is purposely making an infamous public statement for which it has no proof or evidence. The rank and file in King county had no love for the Prestonian iceberg and nothing should be more conclusive evidence of that fact than that out of the twenty-five legislative delegates that went to Olympia last Winter, but three of them were at heart Preston men. Preston's candidacy was rallied round by the business men of Seattle simply because it seemed to be their only show of getting partial representation at the national capital, and he was endorsed by the county convention because it was thought, owing to his friendliness with McBride, success might accidentally come their way. *** Because King county casts one-fifth of the votes of the state, pays one-fourth of the state taxes, does four-fifths of all the commercial business of the state and is the Pacific Coast commercial center, the Puyallup Independent, a Tacoma municipal attache, when the Puyallup river is fordable, makes the following very unfriendly attack on a Seattle senatorial aspirant:: "Sam H. Piles, the Seattle attorney for the Pacific Coast Company, says he will be a candidate for United States senator to succeed Addison G. Foster. In making this declaration he gives as his reason "that he has been petitioned by many business men to enter the race in order to protect the business interests of Seattle." Great heavens! Does Seattle comprise the whole state of Washington, and does her interests need fostering to the exclusion of all others? Call out another candidate." Turn about is fair play, Addison G. has Foster-ed Tacoma's interests to the exclusion of all others about long enough. It is time Seattle and the rest of the state had their inning for a time. Sam Piles is broad-gauged enough, that while he is "fostering" Seattle's interests other parts of the state will in no wise be neglected. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1903 --- There is no doubt but that Mr. Piles dreams of the senate chamber, for, if he did not he would not be working day and night to make his dreams a stern reality. Here's what the Island County Times has to say about Mr. Piles' candidacy: "Attorney S. H. Piles of Seattle has put himself in the hands of his friends as a candidate for United States senator to succeed Senator Foster. Piles is a good man for the place and we hope his dreams of the senate chamber may be pleasant ones." No candidate for the United States senate that King county has ever brought out pleases the editorial tripod of the Times. It does seem now that Ankeny, its ideal senatorial candidate, has been elected the Times would not always be ready to jump on every prospective King county candidate with both feet. The next United States senator from this state is going to be a King county man, and the Times had better jump in the band wagon forthwith if not sooner or it might do its county a bit of political harm. * * * And now comes the Snohomish Tribune with the following bit of information as to one of the Piemaker's gubernatorial possibilities: "Hon. F. H. Brownell positively refuses to be considered a candidate for the governor's chair, according to the Record. Mr. Brownell has large business interests, which he can not afford to sacrifice for the office. He much prefers to be congressman." It is next to impossible for Mr. Brownell to get to congress next year, but if he will but nurse his aspirations for two years more he will go there in a whirl. Should Jones be defeated it necessarily would be an Eastern Washington candidate that would do the job. If Cushman is defeated it would have to be a Pierce county man to do that job. It would hardly be fair to defeat Humphrey for a second term and King county wouldn't stand for her only representative in congress to be taken away from her with only a senatorial prospect ahead. Taking all of these facts into consideration Mr. Brownell seems to have no show to gratify his ambitions before 1906. *** An exchange touching the politics of Whitman county makes the following pertinent remarks: "The Republicans of Whitman county are divided into two camps, the 'boxers' and the 'repudiators.' The 'boxers' are Republicans who refused to support certain Republican candidates who declined to stand squarely on the county and state platforms. The 'repudiators' are Republicans who advocated and defended the repudiation of certain planks in the county and state platforms. Are you a 'boxer' or a 'repudiator?'" *** Unless this paper has been grossly imposed upon Editor Mays is as far out of the way in the extract LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS below as he always is in matters political. The Independent says: "It is amusing to note how the railroad hirelings are announcing themselves for all the offices in the gift of the people of this state. Sam Piles comes out thus far ahead and declares himself for senator. The cheek of these fellows is surprising. The whole gang of them is trying to hold up the state just as the more offensive highway men demand money at the point of a deadly weapon." Addison G. Foster, and not Sam Piles, is and will be the railroad candidate for United States senator. It is barely possible, neighbor, that Mr. Piles and you will find yourselves in the same camp and band wagon before the war is over—the McBride camp—as it is currently reported among the politicians in King county that Piles is being backed by the Preston-McBride combination and the governor hopes by that means to break into the King county delegation. * * * Here is a political sermon from the Chehalis Bee, which the politicians and business men of Seattle would do well to read, take it home with them and ponder over it: "Hon. S. H. Piles of Seattle has announced his candidacy for United States senator to succeed Senator Foster. Mr. Piles is one of the leading attorneys of the state. He is well known to a large number of the people of Washington on account of his marked ability. Recently King county has been a minus quantity in state politics, however, so far as the senatorship is concerned. It remains to be seen whether or not Mr. Piles and ex-Senator Wilson, who is now a Seattle citizen, can rescue the Queen City from the rut into which she fell, as candidates for the senate. Mr. Preston could not, but he was ferninst the corporations. It is not presumed that either Mr. Piles or Mr. Wilson would encounter any such opposition." Notwithstanding the fact that King county will have a number of United States senatorial aspirants she will do well to be for KING COUNTY. In the past she has permitted herself to be tied up to a candidate in such a manner as to give her legislative delegates no leeway at all to look out for her best interests. Her next members to the legislature should be instructed to work for that senatorial aspirant from King county that can and will bring to her the greatest amount of outside strength. *** Piles for Senator and Humphries for Governor is the modest demand of Seattle in the next campaign. Anything else? She has only to ask for it, you know. —Washington Standard (Democratic). Criticism from Democratic sources are not taken seriously, but a sentiment is implied in the above that is fostered more or less by the Republican press of the state, and may as well be met now as later. It is a seeming jealousy of the large county, with an implied charge that it wants to take more than its share of public favors. When the state was new, the first Republican state convention nominated the Governor, Hon. E. P. Ferry, and for Supreme Court Judge, Hon. John P. Hoyt, from King county. They were elected; then when the legislature met it elected another King county man, Hon. Watson C. Squire, to the United States senate. Three from King county holding high positions. At that time there were no objections offered. No one criticised King county as having more than its share; the eternal fitness of things was recognized and all passed smoothly. For a number of years, probably from its own fault, King county has had practically nothing in the way of official voice in the affairs of state or nation. It now has a congressman and certain of its citizens have announced that they will try for two others, the leading places. In view of the past lack of representation and from the fact that this county represents about one-fifth of the state as to population, taxes paid, delegation to the state convention and votes for the party nominees, not to mention ability, what reasonable person will but admit that it has a right to at least a like proportion of the political favors. In view of which fact any charge, direct or implied, that the people here are trying to "hog" things, is not only unjust, but unkind. King county has "danced in the pig trough" long enough and at the next "heat" it proposes to get some of the "pie," if it can be had by fair means. All it wants is its just dues and fair play. 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 The Colfax Gazette says 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." This would seem to indicate that the Gazette's work in the last campaign was so coarse that it despaired of repeating it. We do not know of any one who did more "double crossing" in the last campaign than the Colfax Gazette. It supported Mr. Ankeny, the avowed opponent of a commission bill, and in the same breath shrieked for a commission in the interest of the farmer. It permitted the passage of a resolution in the Whitman county convention instructing the legislative nominees to vote against any senatorial candidate who favored a commission, after having moved heaven and earth to secure the nomination of candidates favorable to Mr. Ankeny. And now it speaks up as innocent as a harlot at a christening and declares that Eastern Washington shall not be "double crossed again." Well that depends upon what there is in it for the Gazette. And as for the voice of Whitman county in the next campaign, the only thing that talks in that locality is the cold and silent coin and we know of no greater adept in that sort of conversation than the Colfax Gazette.

The matter will be argued today, the 31st inst., and the end is not yet.

Libby of this city will superintend the passage of the raft down the Columbia and over the bar at the mouth of the river. The transportation of piling from the southern part of this state to California has become a fixed industry, and the raft construction has been reduced to a science. Several fine rafts went to pieces in the early days of the experiment, but none have been lost for some time past. California may boast of her big trees, but when she wants serviceable timber Washington supplies it. A strike in the office of the Spokesman-Review at Spokane caused that paper not to appear on Tuesday. The employes asked for an advance in wages of 50 cents a day. A temporary truce has been fixed up and the men returned to work at the advance asked pending a permanent settlement. The burning of the bridge across the Wenatchee river near the town of the same name, in the Big Bend country, is a serious annoyance to the farmers and fruit growers in the, across the river district; as it is just at the time of year they are marketing their crops. Another specimen of the benefits that accrued to this state, on the wrong side of the ledger, on account of Populist rule, has been brought to light in the state land commissioner's office. One hundred leases of tide lands, drawn during the incumbency of that office by "Bob" Bridges, one of the high moguls of the reform (?) administration of a few years ago, are found to have been improperly drawn, and through careless figuring the state has been losing quite an amount in annual rental for those lands. Idaho had an exhibition of old frontier life a few days ago. Two ranchmen got into a quarrel over a very innocent (?) game of cards at Lost River, in that state, and that relic of border ruffianism, bowie knives, were brought into use. The result was there will be no expense to the state for trial for murder as both men were badly mutilated and soon died. While the participants have both paid the penalty for their foolish viciousness, the man responsible for it all, the dive keeper, who permitted gambling in his place, which resulted in the death of two men, is no doubt permitted to continue with no effort on the part of the authorities to hold him responsible, as he certainly is, for double murder. It's a Political Paper A beet sugar factory is to be erected at Prosser which will handle the product of 10,000 acres of ground and supply a fair share of the local market demand for sugar.

Corbitt, who died in Portland, Or., a few months ago, has been fixed by the appraisers at $2,621,538. That where there is a will there is a way was demonstrated recently at Republic, in this state, when two girls of the Pacific States Telephone Co. climbed a telephone pole to put in a fuse that had blown out. Owing to the linemen being on a strike no man who knew anything about it could be found to do the job. Nothing daunted the young ladies shinned up the pole and replaced the fuse, thus restoring the service, and proved their independence and without loss of dignity or self-respect. The entire bonded indebtedness of this state, $1,340,000, is now in the hands, so to speak, of the permanent school fund, bearing interest at the rate of $ 1/2 $ per cent. The mayor of Whatcom has appointed the entire city council as delegates to the Trans-Mississippi Congress, which meets in this city soon. Senator Ankeny has met his second Waterloo at the hands of Walla Walla citizens. His efforts to control the election of officers of the County Fair Association at a recent meeting was a worse failure than his efforts in the late city election. Walla Walla citizens were willing for Levi to be United States senator, but now he has that they evidently want him to keep his hands off of local affairs. And if Levi was as broad-gauged as a United States senator should be he would never have gotten in a position for such humiliating defeats to come to him. The type machine made us to say, last week, in speaking of the Trans-Mississippi congress to be held in this city in August, that it was to be from August 8 to 21. The error was in dropping off the little figure 1. It is not a very big matter, but its absence would indicate that the congress was to be held for fourteen, instead of four days. It should have been 18 to 21.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. The much talked of labor carnival was opened to the public last Monday evening in a blaze of light and a display of good feeling that was very satisfactory to those in charge of the same. The parade in the after- noon was one of the largest ever witnessed in this. city, 8,000 persons, it is estimated, taking part. There are many attractions on the grounds, and the attend- ance so far is very satisfactory. The crowning event of the carnival, the crowning of Queen Florence on Monday evening, passed off pleasantly and was wit- nessed by thousands of people.

I held quarterly conference in the rooms where he had tried and condemned Christians because they would not burn incense to idols and worship them; sitting in about the place where he sat I saw, through the open door directly in front of me, a tree on which hung for days the heart of one of our local preachers; on either side the door were columns supporting the roof of the porch of this building.

Heifner was not troubled any more by the Cole family about Frank's chances. --- Postmaster George M. Stewart, accompanied by his wife, is now on an extended Eastern trip, and before returning he will visit the national capital and talk over Seattle postoffice matters with the department. Since Mr. Stewart was last at Washington City the postal department has undergone a most radical change and new men now fill all the important positions. The men turned out had favored Seattle in many ways while in office and now Mr. Stewart goes back to get acquainted with the new men in order that Seattle will not suffer from the change. He will be absent from his desk for a month or six weeks. *** Seattle celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of her birth last Thursday and did so in a most befitting manner. Since Seattle first put in her appearance on the scene of action her competitors have known that she was in the race and her competitors all now know that she is not only in the race, but she is a good many leaps ahead of all other contestants. There is no denying the fact that, from a commercial standpoint, Seattle is the gem of the Pacific Coast. *** The city council has performed no more commendable act than the appropriation of $400 for the purchase and installing of drinking fountains, for both man and beast, throughout the city. The action comes through the efforts of the humane society. The fountains are of an improved sanitary pattern and are the first half dozen of a liberal supply it is hoped may be provided in the near future. * * * Postmaster G. M. Stewart, accompanied by Mrs. Stewart, has gone to "Boston Town" to attend a session of the national Postmaster's convention to be held in that city on August 4. He will also attend the session of the Supreme Court of Foresters at Providence, R. I., later in the month. Today will witness the opening day of the King County Fair Association fall race meeting at The Meadows. The meeting extends for 29 days and will in many respects excel the previous races, as in addition to the running races that were so popular at the late meeting, the card is further strengthened by the addition of a large number of valuable harness stakes, to which some of the fleetest harness horses in the Northwest are entered. This will prove an additional incentive to the already numerous patrons of The Meadows, as showing the management's appreciation of the strong attendance of the fair sex at this meeting. Twice weekly all ladies will be admitted absolutely free and at no time during the meeting will there be any charge to the grand stand. Good music will be discoursed daily and as Presiding Judge Egbert will again be in charge of all racing arrangements, a prompt and punctual decision of all scheduled events may be again anticipated. An ample and speedy street car service has been arranged for, and all patrons of The Meadows may rely upon traveling to and fro with speed and comfort. Manager Van de Vanter is to be heartily congratulated upon his success, and as proof of the horsemen's satisfaction over the treatment accorded to them, it may be mentioned that with few exceptions and considerable additions they are all still here. Amongst the valuable harness races to be decided are the following, which have all closed with a numerous entry list: ce No. 1—The North Pacific Stake.....$1,000 For 2:17 pacers, 3 in 5. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. he Town The much talked of labor carnival was opened to the public last Monday evening in a blaze of light and a display of good feeling that was very satisfactory to those in charge of the same. The parade in the afternoon was one of the largest ever witnessed in this city, 8,000 persons, it is estimated, taking part. There are many attractions on the grounds, and the attendance so far is very satisfactory. The crowning event of the carnival, the crowning of Queen Florence on Monday evening, passed off pleasantly and was witnessed by thousands of people. From indications the management will realize a goodly sum from the two weeks' show. The money to be used in the construction of a labor temple. *** Twenty-five miles of new sidewalk in the ninth ward has been ordered constructed by the city council, against the vigorous protest of a few of the citizens in that rural district. Evidently they do not like to have their rural retreat invaded by city "fixins" and prefer the mud and dust to the expense of 25 or 30 cents per running foot for city airs. It was claimed however that by far the greater majority of the people effected were in favor of the improvement. Inasmuch as fakirs for the most part go in pairs it seems rather strange that King Solomon did not occupy a carriage drawn by four milk white steeds all by his lonely in the Seattle day parade. Queen Augusta is doubtless the most dazzling spectacle in the carnival parades, but her passing is always suggestive of "corn beef and"—or some other familiar term common to those who patronize ten and fifteen cent eating joints. Perhaps the temple will be built, but it begins to look as if those who promise to do the job would have to look up another leg pulling plan to do so. Fakes may come and fakes may go, but the temple sleeps on and on. Last Thursday's parade from the silent and noiseless tread of the paraders and from the silence of the onlookers seemed more like a funeral occasion than a carnival occasion. But, come to think, there were a good many dead ones in line. The present labor carnival in Seattle was originated for no other purpose than for organized labor to make a display of numerical strength and thereby cower into submission any man or set of men who wanted to run their own business without being dictated to by them. * * * The races will doubtless attract great crowds, as the weather is ideal and the average human being is of that turn of mind to try to get something for nothing, even the innocent, slip away to the races and risk just a few stray dollars on the game. Fair Association the Year Next Saturday --- Andrew Hemrich and Ed. Sweeney are two men with good eyes to business. They contributed $1,000 to the Carnival, but they knew it was bread cast upon the waters and would return not in many days, but immediately with a glorious harvest. That's right, fellows; always patronize your best friends. Mayor Humes' steed in the parade Seattle day was a splendid representation of his administration as mayor of Seattle. The animal did not doubtless realize the humiliating position he had been placed or the mayor would have had to have gotten a mule to bear the tenderloin's burdens on that occasion. --- If Jim Anderson of the Pacific Coast Company is as good a superintendent as he is story teller then he must be a cracker jack. Mr. Anderson has a stock of stories that he can spin out by the yard, and good enough to make a dog laugh, and that's why he never takes his dog with him. *** Rev. Mack Scott, erstwhile pastor of the A. M. E. Church, of this city, starts for the penitentiary tomorrow to pay the penalty of murdering a poor innocent girl. His fifteen year sentence is extremely light for the heinousness of his crime, but it is hoped that even that small sentence will have a salutary effect on others. * * * The death of three men in the Great Northern tunnel from caving in of the overhanging wall of the excavation only intensifies the fact that the sub-strata of Seattle is very precarious, and that extra precautions must be made during the progress of the tunnel work. Men should not be required to risk their lives in excavations in advance of proper protection from danger. Machine drills, not men, should do the gopher work. Mission Work in China. In one market town, where the church has a plant, on my last quarterly round it fell to my lot to occupy a room, with its adjoining bedroom, where the Boxer chief had held his court. I slept two nights on the same bed he had used. I held quarterly conference in the rooms where he had tried and condemned Christians because they would not burn incense to idols and worship them; sitting in about the place where he sat I saw, through the open door directly in front of me, a tree on which hung for days the heart of one of our local preachers; on either side the door were columns supporting the roof of the porch of this building. To these posts the martyrs were tied while waiting to be taken away to execution. I walked along the via dolorosa they traveled to the river bank west of the town, where they met death, some of them by being burnt alive, some of them by slow torture, some by beheading, and others by having their hearts torn out of their quivering bodies. There on the banks of that river I saw the bones and skulls of those who had gone up through great tribulation. But now what has happened? The buildings where these thirty men and women were condemned for believing in the Lord Jesus Christ are now the property of the church, and a cemetery with the graves of these dead and a slab erected to their memory is near at hand, all the gift of the community where these atrocities were committed—Rev.

Call on us for YOUR PIANO as OUR PRICES and The Cuyahoga Telephone Co., an Eastern concern, has begun a scheme that ought to prevent strikes among its employees, and if adopted by other corporations would go a long way towards preventing these labor disturbances. It proposes on December 31 to distribute, pro rata according to salary, one-fifth of its earnings to its employees, provided they continue in its service to that time, and have not prior thereto taken part in a strike. It is estimated that it will mean about one-half month's pay to each employe. TERMS As an indication corporations are not wholly soulless it is refreshing to note that the O. R. & N. Railway Company will bear the expense of the education of the three children of J. M. Kernan, agent for that company, at Heppner at the time of the recent disaster that overwhelmed that town. Kernan stayed at his post to send dispatches to towns further down the stream, and by the time that was done, he was unable to reach a place of safety. His wife also perished, but the three children were saved. This action on the part of the company is very commendable. ARE THE LOWEST Pianos sold as low as $6.00 Per Month Sherman, Clay & Co. STEINWAY DEALERS The novel spectacle of saloon men as reformers seems to be promised from Vancouver in this state. For several weeks the moral element in the town have succeeded in keeping the saloons closed on Sundays. In a spirit of retaliation the saloon men have organized and propose to see that all other lines of business, not exempt by law, are also closed on the first day of the week. The moral element, to be consistent, must stand with them in this. From a legal point of view, peanut stands, cigar stands and most of the other lines of business that keep open seven days in the week are as much in violation of law as are the saloons, when they open for business on Sundays. It will not do to make fish of one and flesh of the other. THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS BREWERY Socialism in its mild or early stages, in its simplicity, may be a harmless thing, and while impracticable, as an economic principle, yet its teachings might not have a serious effect upon the public mind. But Socialism, as it is being taught in this country today, is only another name for anarchism. Under the name of Socialism, designing persons are propagating a doctrine that is striking at the very root of our government; and of all civil government. The government has wisely recognized the danger of anarchy and legislated against it. In the same manner they should recognize the evil implied in revolutionary Socialism, that is now openly taught, and extend the anti-anarchist laws to cover such teachings. As before stated, it is anarchy under another name, anarchy parading in a new cloak of borrowed finery. He who preaches revolution of the government, preaches treason, as well as anarchy. Against both of these there is law, let it be enforced. We are not an alarmist, but there is danger ahead and it should be looked after. This country is carrying a very heavy un-American load.

It seems to be about time for this government to depart from its policy of non interference with other nations and attach an amendment to its Monroe doctrine. Our policy has been not only not to interfere with the internal affairs of other nations on this continent, but to say that no foreign power shall interfere in any way where they have no prior vested rights. It was in keeping with the true spirit of this idea that caused President McKinley to declare war against Spain in the interest of Cuba. While Spain had vested rights, yet because of misgovernment and inhuman practice she had forfeited those rights, and the United States, as the big power of the continent, for humanitarian reasons was justified in forcing Spain to release the island, and the results have fully warranted the action. In the same spirit it is time for this government to step in and protect such of our South American neighbors as are unable to maintain peace and good government from their enemies. It matters not that, as in the case of Venezuela just now, their enemies are of their own household. The effect upon the country involved, and to a more or less extent on the commerce of this nation, is the same, or more damaging, possibly, than though it was a foreign foe that was invading the. In the declaration of and adherence to the principles of the Monroe doctrine this nation sets itself as the guardian of, and to a certain extent sponsor for all the other nations on the continent. In that capacity it is clearly its duty to protect, whenever necessary, those people from themselves; and by an application of the policy used in Cuba, after Spain was driven out, require them by mild but firm force to maintain peaceful governments. Such a course does not mean subjugation or annexation, but it would insure peace and an advance in civilization, and give those countries a chance to develop the magnificent resources that are theirs. Peace Society Oppose Armaments. That the continued increase of the armaments of the different nations of the world is not approved by all is evidenced by the following from the annual report of the Secretary of the American Peace Society, recently made, wherein he says: "The great armaments of the world, which now cost the nations, directly and indirectly, more than two thousand millions annually, continue in all their burdensomeness and menace to civilization. Land armaments in European countries seem to have reached about the limit of their possible growth. The rivalry has now transferred itself mainly to the ocean. Into this rivalry, we much regret to say, our own country has entered more deeply the past year than ever berfoe, and the present lead of the government and infatuate following of the people betoken a still deeper sinking into what is contrary to all the previous history and policies of the nation, and what seems to us to bode no good to America or the world. The ideas under whose impulsion this naval incubus is being loaded upon the country seem to us to be thoroughly false and un-American. The pretended dangers which are put forward to enforce the necessity of a great navy are baseless and unreal. The grounds of our safety, respect from abroad and peace in the past are the grounds of our security and honor still. To become like one of the military powers, on the sea or anywhere else, is for the nation to expose itself to the weaknesses, the entanglements, the alarms, the perils and the degeneration which always stalk in the wake of militarism. It is not too late yet for our beloved country to stop short in the new course on which it has entered, and every consideration of strength, security, honor and usefulness demand that it should do so." Nature Study and the Citizen. A good suggestion as to how to occupy the minds and the time of the rising generation, out of school hours, to keep them from the streets and undesirable associations, and at the same time train them up towards what is hoped and desired of all boys, an honorable and useful citizenship, is suggested by C. F. Hodge in the August Chautauquan. He says: "The child, between the years from six to fifteen, can make his home grounds and garden his nature study manual. He can care for his animal pets and plant and rear for his very own fruits, flowers and vegetables while he makes the practical acquaintance of the birds and insects and garden fungi which help or hinder him in his work. There will be no tendency toward hoodlumism or anarchism in this, but every step in the work must establish the child more and more firmly upon the side of law and order in the community. Can we not hope that nature study may thus lay the solid foundations of intelligent citizenship?" The Philosophy of Civic Improvement. It may be asked, then, what is an improvement association to call out a discussion involving questions of political philosophy! Perhaps you have thought the object of the association is simply to clean streets and dispose of garbage, and is of passing interest at best. For my own part my interest in the organization is aroused because it promises to become a genuine social institution. Those who administer the various associations are certainly convinced of their permanency. I am a member of a committee of the South Park Improvement Association of Chicago, which is just now giving out contracts for the planting of trees, and plans have been made to bring our whole district within a single scheme of landscape gardening. This much of the work at least is done in faith, and thus far it has the marks of permanency. It is among the possibilities that this association will some day build a town hall of a new type, not as a place for political chicanery, but as a center of social culture. Is a social civilization too much to hope for? Must antagonisms always exist among the individuals of a community? Are we to be forever driven by economic fear? Might not a city of rational beings devise a method of living contentedly together? It is just possible that in solving our problem of local improvement we are making a contribution to the history of civilization.—Oscar L. Triggs. Must Be Dealt With The walking delegate who demands the right to control another man's business without himself having anything at stake in it, is a greater source of exasperation than the tax assessor, wh only troubles us once a year and whose doings are ordered by the law of the land. "No taxation without representation," was a fine old war cry 150 years ago, and the refusal to submit to taxation by an organizer that we do not elect, or by an organization in whose composition we have no voice, will have to be met and dealt with today, if necessary, in something like the spirit with which the forefathers of our country in the ever glorious revolution met and dealt with an even less odious despotism.—Stoves and Hardware Reporter. Four-fifths of a Million Emigrants. The number of emigrants to the United States during the fiscal year just ended exceeded the combined population of Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho in 1900, or the present population of North and South Dakota together. And yet we can assimilate upwards of 800,000 foreigners annually without knowing it save from the immigration statistics. The people now coming to our shores are not all desirable, but we shall no doubt make good citizens of most of them. They will become not only producers but consumers, and, let us hope, will also become good Protectionists and Republicans, as they realize what protection has done for them and their posterity—American Economist. American Sovereignty Beneficial. The United States possess some valuable holdings scattered about the world, and they are enhancing all the more rapidly from their connection with this country, not only because it confers upon them a government that represents the best development of the age but affords them in addition the greatest market in the world for their surplus production. During eleven months of the past fiscal year for which figures are now available, this country has purchased from its non-contiguous territory $53,000,000 worth of products, as compared with $33,000,000 in merchandise returned to them in the interchange of trade. The commerce of these territories is expanding steadily and satisfactorily under the advantages given for their development, but the balance is and will continue to be in their favor, because their capacities for production are largely along lines which the United States consumes very largely without being a competitor, and the preferences accorded are stimulating activity and increased output.—West Coast Trade. Make Hay While the Sun Shines. In a time of general prosperity like the present, when there is a demand for labor and wages are high, it is surprising that so many working men are ready on some slight pretext to throw down their tools and stand idle on the streets. It would seem as if ordinary prudence would suggest the wisdom of "making hay while the sun shines." The custom of the times reverses this policy. It is a common saying that "there are no strikes in hard times." It is when men can get plenty of work that they do not want it. There is every reason to believe that this period of activity will in time pass by. The wise workingman will improve the golden hours to lay by something for the time when he will need work and, do what he will, may be unable to get it. There should now be no wasteful, wilful idleness, nor any cessation of labor except under provocation of intolerable exactions. These years of plenty should be utilized in securing a home that is paid for, and in starting a bank account, if possible, that will be found an exceedingly convenient possession in the lean years that are likely to follow. REALM OF RELIGION. Numbering our days with a hopeful heart is the message of the psalm: "So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom." God holds out hope to every soul. The days to come are life's opportunity. God teaches us to number them one by one, teaches us to number them one at a time. Life's best work is done by those who know the value of a single day. Years make us prodigals; days make us sentinels. God's promises are for the day's work. "As thy day is, so shall thy strength be," is an old promise and a true one. "Give us this day our daily bread" is the prayer of the Christian traveler on his way to heaven.—Selected. The Arabs have a custom of thanking God that it is no worse. If one loses an eye, he thanks God that it was not both eyes; if he loses a hand, he thanks God that it was not both hands; if he breaks his leg, he thanks God that it was not his neck. Dr. Johnson used to say that a habit of looking at the best side of every event is better than a thousand pounds a year. When Fenelon's library was on fire, "God be praised," he exclaimed, "that it is not the dwelling of some poor man!" This is the true spirit of thanksgiving, one of the most beautiful traits that can possess the heart.—The Standard. The only way to beat a fog is to rise above it. You cannot blow it to pieces with artillery. You cannot dissipate it by searchlights. But you can leave it below you. Get into the higher regions; for there it never comes. From some lofty height in the great mountains of the world we have looked down on some vast sea of fog which filled all the procumbent valleys; but where we stood the sun was shining in his strength; and for leagues and leagues around us glittered a world of beauty as untouched of shadow as the walls of the New Jerusalem. He who dwells upon the height dwells in safety, because there alone he dwells in light.—Interior. Methodist Mission Work in Siberia. The work among the heathen is becoming more and more interesting, the calls for school teachers and preachers are louder and coming from all parts. Kings and chiefs of the Cape Palmas District came in from long distances and made appeals for missionaries to work among them. They seem to have an earnest craving for the Methodist church to be established among them. To use their own words, "We want that religion that we can feel in our hearts; that makes us cry for joy when we speak of it. We see that the Methodist converts seem to enjoy the religion of the heart, and that's the kind we want. Come, bring your doctrines to us; we want them. We want your school teacher, your preacher, your Catechism; we want our children brought up under your teachings." There are a good many among them who read fairly well. If we could establish strongly at a few centers, with good buildings, consecrated workers well supported and cared for, we would do a great work in the Cape Palmas district in saving to the church hundreds of Greboe and other tribes of heathen whose appeal to us is loud. And this can be safely said as true at all points on the Liberia coast and in each district.—Rev. M. T. Hagan. Prayer the Key to Rich Stores. Prayer is a key that God places in the hands of a believer with which he may open the storehouse of divine mercies. How great the folly that neglects its use. There are favors bestowed upon man without request. The sun will rise whether or not we pray for the day; the night will come; rain will fall; the seasons will recur in their order, seed time and harvest. There are many things that God will do for man without the intervention of prayer. But the chief blessings he has bestowed he has made contingent upon supplication. Spiritual good must be sought if enjoyed, and there is a wide range of temporal good for which prayer should be daily offered, not that a reluctance to bestow it may be overcome, but that a hand to receive proffered favors may be stretched forth. By prayer a man makes his personality known and recognized in heaven. Spurgeon says: "Prayer pulls the rope below, and the great bell rings above in the ear of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray so languidly; others give but an occasional pluck at the rope; but he who wins in heaven is the man who grasps the rope boldly and pulls continuously with all his might."—P.

WM. D. CLEVELAND. Plaintiff. W. T. Scott, Prosecuting Attorney, and John C. Murphy, Deputy, Attorneys for Plaintiff. 601 and 506 Marion Office Address, 501 and 506 Marlon Block, Seattle, Wash. First publication dated June 5. 1903. Last publication date July 17. 1903. Queen Augusta, Seattle's monarch of the labor carnival, expressed a noble sentiment and made a wise statement when she said: "If I were really queen I would use my best endeavors to temper the feeling between capital and labor, so that there would never more be strife, disputes or misunderstandings. Do you know that I believe nearly all of the trouble between employer and employee is usually the result of each misunderstanding the position and desires of the other. If I were really queen long enough I believe that I could do much to harmonize the two contending factions." Seattle's labor unions, and Seattle's employers of labor, could well afford to unite and give her a life tenure of the position if she could do as she believes she might. Next year (1904) is leap year, the first for eight long years. Quite a number of old maids, maiden ladies, U. B.'s, we mean, have been looking anxiously forward to it for some time. But poor old Miss Democracy has already begun to take on a sad and lonesome look. She has been coying with young Willie Bryan for some time, but he has not seemed swift enough, so she has been casting sheep's eyes at a former suitor, Grover the Fat. This has thrown Willie into convulsions and she would feign go back to him, only Grover rather likes her looks and utters such dreadful things about Willie boy that the dear old girl is in desperate straits lest the year will pass and she still remains among the "also ran" class. Why does not some Lochenvar come up from the South and take to his heart this dear old lady (?) the idol of his race. The United States Supreme Court at San Francisco has rendered a decision in a labor case against boycotting, and granted a permanent injunction against interference with the rights of any one to work in the factory involved. Recognizing the rights of all to quit work whenever they choose, the judge adds: "Whether as individuals or organizations, they must also understand that all men, whether associated with them or not, have equal rights with them in the labor world. This government is one of liberty under the law, and its people are free men. Neither will tolerate the rights of any to enforce assumed rights by crushing the inalienable rights of others." Sound doctrine, and the sooner organized labor recognizes and practices it the better it will be for it, as well as all others concerned. The truth of the proverb that "Evil communications corrupt good morals" is proven in the rapidity of the spread of the lynching mania. Through the frequency of the crime, as practiced and tolerated in the South, and the widespread announcements of the same through the public press, the public mind has become so corrupted that crime by a colored man, whether of a henious character or not, is considered sufficient reason for a resort to barbarism of the most inhuman kind. Not only in the South is this true, but in the staid, moral (?) and effete North. New Jersey, Indiana and now Illinois have but recently blackened the pages of their history by deeds as dark as any of the so-called dark ages of our past history. Supreme Justice Brewer has decided that such acts are murder. Now let the proper authorities act speedily and with vigor, or a tempest of lawlessness will be unchained that will swing this nation backwards many generations. History repeats itself very often with the so-called reform political forces in this country. Every few years they get together and launch out under a new name. Populism, or the people's party, was the last cognomen under which they sailed. Its meteoric ascent and sudden eclipse is recent history. Now we find a remnant of the faithful gathered at Denver to reorganize under a new name, with the same old desire to improve the conditions of the race—in consideration of the loaves and fishes. It is the same old story, but the party, if so motley a crowd and so kaleidoscopic an array of vital issues and distinguishing names, is entitled to be called a party, is not without its value to the country. It seems as a convenient place for certain broken down and harmless malcontents to pack their political freight, and thus relieves the dominant party of aload of rubbish that it is well rid of. As a permanent name for their conglomeration we suggest "Perpetual Malcontents." That would preclude the necessity of reorganization so often.

BAPTIST CONVENTION. (Communicated.) The Afro-Americans of the Queen City clothed themselves with new glory during the past week. They entertained the Colored Baptist State Convention, which held the greatest session in its history at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Dr. F. T. Walker and his good people and the public spirited friends are deserving of much praise. The most distinguished visitor was Dr. R. H. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board. Deep interest was manifested in the workings of the convention. The addresses by Dr. Boyd at each session was listened to with marked attention. At times the venerable doctor's address was tinctured with keen humor, which was enjoyed by the vast audience, and in the next moment they were moved to tears. The audience at times was swayed to action. His visit to the Northwest will prove a great blessing to the Negro Baptist in years to come. The following officers were elected for the ensuing convention year: President, J. B. Beckham, D.D., Spokane; vice president, J. P. Brown, D. D., Roslyn; honorary vice president, Mrs. A. C. Hagen, Spokane; treasurer, Mrs. Anna Donaldson, Roslyn; general secretary, F. T. Walker, D.

Dr. J. P. Brown preached an able sermon on Sunday morning which moved men and women to tears. The address by Dr. Boyd on the "Progress of the Negro Baptist" was a wonderful revelation to his vast audience. WELL MERITED PROMOTION Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, D.D., Seattle, Wash., General Superintendent of Missions of the Northwestern States. Fortune favors the brave. Had the subject of this sketch. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, ever stopped hustling long enough to think of a motto, the above would most assuredly have been chosen. He is pre-eminently a hustler, and obstacles only serve to make him redouble his efforts until he finally overcomes them. Born in New Orelans, La., in 1869, he experienced all the difficulties which attended the life of a colored boy of that period. Not only in the peaceful pursuits of religion has Dr. McPherson's fitness for Fortune's smiles been shown. In the stern time of war he has shown himself no less deserving of the fickle goddesses favors. As a member of company G of the gallant Twenty-fourth infantry, he stormed San Juan Hill, and helped earn the plaudits of the world for a race that until then had been deemed unfit for battle. After the battle he gave further proof of his faithfulness to duty, by volunteering as nurse in the feverstricken camp of Siboney. Escaping unscathed from there, he returned to Salt Lake City, and was discharged with a character of excellence. Since then he has taken an active part in religious affairs and has earned a reputation as a hustler second to none. "Ad astra per aspesam" has seemingly been his guide, and with the stars as a destination he bids fair to attain high honors. Dr. McPherson was converted in the year of 1886 at Pass Christian, Miss., and was baptised by Rev. Taylor Fryerson and united with the First Baptist church of that city, he was licensed to preach by Rev. W. S. Forbes at West Pascagoula, Miss., 1889. He has done much work as an evangelist and is known throughout the Southern States for his lectures on temperance and is called the "Black Apostle of Temperance." He was ordained as a gospel minister at Tacoma, 1901, by a council of the leading white minister of the Northwestern Baptist convention of which Dr Wm. Miller was the moderator and Hon. E. E. Rosling clerk. He has served as pastor of Olive Baptist Church, Tacoma, and Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Seattle, of which he recently resigned, with much success. He was elected general secretary of the Colored Baptist State Convention, 1901, and under his administration the convention has built up a strong membership and is doing great work. His promotion as General Superintendent of Missions is well merited. Rev. McPherson is regarded as one of the ablest young divines of Baptist denomination in the Northwest, and brings to this office a great reputation for eloquence in the pulpit and a wide knowledge of the affairs of the Christian world, and the great questions of the day that mark him as one of the prominent young clergymen in the West. Rev. McPherson is said to be one of those preachers who does not think it necessary to wrap himself up in a cloak of sacerdotal holiness, but finds that an enlightened interest in the questions of the day and the material welfare of the community of which he forms a part does not in any way interfere with his ministerial duties.
