Seattle Republican

Historical Society The SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 9 SEATTLE, WAS E REPU SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1903 In discussing the coming senatorial scrap in this state with a man who is very close to Senator Ankeny, he was led to remark: "The next United States senator will either be Foster or Furth." The Pie-maker has found quite a growing sentiment for Jacob Furth in connection with the senatorship in various parts of the state, and of course there has been for a number of years such a sentiment in King county. While this is not intended as either a political feeler or in any way as a political announcement, yet it however is meant to show that Jacob Furth is a strong political factor in not only this county but likewise this state, and if the factions would all unite on him he would be a mighty hard man for Foster or any one else to beat. Governor McBride is playing swift politics these days. He has begun the renewal of his fierce fight for railroad domination. It is rumored on good authority that the governor has already made a slate of state officers whom he will endeavor to nominate in the state convention next summer. This slate eliminates all the present state officers except Attorney General W. B. Stratton. The governor did not consult with the other state officers in the matter, but it is supposed that he concluded that they have not been loud enough in denunciation of anti-McBride people. It is known that the present state officers generally desire renomination for a secod term, which has been more or less the custom in the Republican party where state officers have made so satisfactory a record as the present officers have done. This throwing down the gauntlet, by the governor, to the state officers, will be accepted by them as a signal to begin active work on their own parts, for self protection. One of the conspicuous features of the governor's new slate is that M. E. Hayesi Lincoln county is to be McBride's candidate for lieutenant governor. Mr. Hay is a merchant and real estate dealer. He is the man who, a few years ago, sent broadcast in the Eastern states, a map of Eastern Washington, having a line drawn around Lincoln county, stating the enclosed part, or Lincoln county, to be the rain belt of Eastern Washington, and the outside parts or surrounding counties to be arid and desert lands. This made him hosts of enemies. He was defeated four years ago, in his district, for the office of state senator, by Gotlieb Garber, Democratic candidate for the same office. The governor has made his state slate and campaign plans early, so as to be thoroughly prepared and ready for the first Republican state convention of next spring, which will no doubt be held in March or April, for the purpose of nominating delegates to the national convention, which latter convention will be held in May or June to nominate candidates for president and vice president of the United States. McBride has determined, if possible, to control this first state convention next spring, for the prestige and power it would give him in the later and more important state convention. The spirits, who are to be the governor's chief political lieutenants, and who have assisted him in making his state slate, are George U. Piper of Seattle, Charlie Dalton, Second Assistant Attorney General, Stanton Warburton of Tacoma, and J. Howard Watson of Olympia. The compact is reported that Piper is to furnish anti-convention campaign funds, besides time and effort, and that in return he will be highest dictator in state politics, and will become a member together with Warburton and some Eastern Washington Democrat like George Turner or Senator Tollman, of the Board of State Railroad Commission, providing the governor succeeds in having that measure passed at the next session of the legislature. Success of this kind in state politics, it is figured, would go a long way toward securing again for Piper the ruling power in Seattle politics and municipal affairs. A glance at the state papers soon convinces the reader that there is a very promising crop of candidates from both political organizations for the sundry and divers offices to be distributed by the people at the next general election, and it is also very evident that these various candidates believe in getting early --- --- VOL. X. NO. 9 POLITICAL POT=PIE A report comes from Tacoma to the effect that the political leaders in the Republican party in that city are up in arms against the candidacy of Samuel H. Piles for United States senator. The Pierce county contingent believes that Mr. Piles is being backed by Mr. Farrell, who is the mouthpiece of James J. Hill, and that means the defeat of Senator Foster for reelection. According to this grape-vine dispatch, Senator Hamilton, Ben Groscup and Walter Christian are bitterly opposed to any railroad man supporting any one else except Foster, and if Mr. Farrell gives his support to Mr. Piles, the Tacoma railroad push, headed by George Stevenson, will make some trouble in the next legislature. If this report can be believed there is a war on between the railroad pople of this state, which will end in the nomination and election of Governor McBride and some candidate for United States senator other than the ones that have already been named. *** There is still another story which has been told on the streets of Seattle during the past week which is to the effect that the railroad people have been notified by the business men of Seattle that Seattle will no longer support railroad interests if the railroad people continue to elect United States senators from this state who are hostile to the commercial interests of Seattle, and the railroad people realizing that if such should be put into effect they would lose a strong ally, decided to support Mr. Piles for United States senator, and the combined railroad interests in this state next year will be for his election. This story seems unreasonable and yet it eminated from men who ought to know whereof they speak. Just how Mr. Farrell could speak for Mr. Hill when neither one of them have been in this county for a number of montns is the question, and the statement therefore is seriously doubted by men even those whose purpose it is to carry out the interests of the railroad magnates. --- If King county wishes to elect the next United States senator it certainly must go to the legislature a unit for some one man and that man must be one who can command a vast amount of outside strength, and before the next county conventio instructs its legislative nominees to support a senatorial aspirant it should know that that aspirant will have enough outside strength to be able to make him a formidable candidate. There seems to be no doubt but that the delegates from King county will be divided between the two already conceded candidates, and it would not be wise for the convention to tie up to any one unless it absolutely knows that the one it is tying up to already has the required outside strength. It will be the duty of the members of the legislature from King county to shift their support to that candidate whom they believe they can elect, and they should be the sole judges of when and where and to whom to shift after the legislature has convened. *** Speaking about the election of the next United States senator from this state hailing from Seattle, a story, which is only a secret in the minds of some of the men of this state, who play the game of politics, was told to the Pie-maker one day this week and was to the effect that, when it became apparent to the friends of Harold Preston that he could not be elected nor could John L. Wilson, they met in solemn conclave, which lasted all night, and decided that but one Seattle man could be elected and that man was Jacob Furth. In this conference Governor McBride played a conspicuous part, and he was delegated to break the news to Preston, but after talking to him the next day and learning from Preston himself that he still believed that he could be elected he (McBride) lost his nerve and refused to deliver the message, and Wilson finding that Preston was not withdrawing, refused to be further bound by the agreement, and kept up his fight. It occurred to Mr. Furth that he had been played hoss with and he refused to allow the use of his name in connection with the senatorial election. Such astute leaders as George U. Piper, John Wooding and many others who knew of the deal still believe that if Preston had withdrawn at the proper time Jacob Furth and not Levi Ankeny would now be the junior senator from this state. \* \* \* * * * *** * * * *** LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS into the game, thus securing a firmer foothold or scarring the other fellow out. So far most of the talk is confined to the higher offices, the ones which are well worth a long campaign to secure and which cannot be obtained unless by a streak of luck, without a long, hard pull. And then, too, it has frequently been suggested that politics is Washington's fifth industry and that it flourishes both in and out of season. This being true, therefore, the politician must ever be at work cultivating his field. From Seattle we hear that John E. Humphries has an ambition to be governor, and from Everett comes the report that F. H. Brownell is going to divert his attention from congress to the executive chair in Olympia. C. J. Lord of Olympia, a well known banker and mayor of the capital, is talked of as a possibility but probably without any authority. If Mr. Lord does not make the race, it is suggested Senator A. S. Ruth would not refuse the second place on the ticket as a candidate from Thurston county. Of course Governor McBride wants the nomination. So much for the Republicans. From distant Portland comes the report that a plan is on foot to nominate ex-Senator George Turner as a Democratic candidate for Governor McBride's job. Once already has Mr. Turner denied the report, but it is hinted that if the Democrats see any show of electing a Democratic legislature, he would accept and then resign to succeed Senator Foster and let his running mate become governor. It is a pretty story purely theoretical. Of course, there is a fair sized field for the senatorship, the election of which will come before the next legislature a year from the coming winter, and already candidates are being groomed in the open or in quiet corners. Senator Foster will be a candidate from Pierce county. Perhaps Congressman Cushman will be one, too, just to make things interesting in Tacoma. Sam Piles is already out from Seattle. John L. Wilson always has been and possibly always will be. Harold Preston has not forgotten his ambition. Jacob Furth is still very much alive, politically speaking, and there are others. For minor offices there is an abundance of candidates., so the good people of the state of Washington need have no fear of missing plenty of political reading matter during the next year and a half. Some of it will be really funny, too. Strange bed fellows, you know!—Walla Walla Union. * * Among the newly announced candidates for political honors at the hands of the Republican party are Miles Poindexter of Spokane, who aspires to succeed Congressman Jones, and C. J. Lord, who is being groomed by J. O. B. Scobey for the governorship. These gentlemen hardly make available Republican timber yet awhile. In the language of the prize ring, Mr. Poindexter "has yet to make a record," and Mr. Lord has a bad advance agent. --- Mr. Lord is an able man and doubtless might make a good governor, but both he and Mr. Pointdexter should get their seats in the Republican party fairly warm before trying to climb on to the platform. \* \* \* Senator Ankeny is now tasting the sweets of office. The latest charge against him is that of "trying to capture the Walla Walla fair." Just what the senator wants of the "fair" or what he would do with it if he got it nobody seems to know. But for the next six years no advantage will come to the state of Washington without his partizans proclaiming that it is all due to the transcendant ability of Senator Ankeny and no misfortune will fall upon us that his enemies will not lay at the senator's door, all of which is worse than silly. *** It has been charged that the police department is corrupt from stem to gudgeon, and that some of the members thereof are side partners to the thieves and thugs who hold forth in such great numbers in this city at present. The Republican is not able to verify the above charge in any part, but it does know that the police department seems powerless to prevent men from being held up and robbed every night and day. Something should be done and done at once to rid this city of its overflow of thieves and thugs, and if the present police force can't do it another should be employed who can do the work. --- 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 SEATTLE REPUBLICAN AFRO=AMERICAN A Woman Honored. A colored woman in Richmond, Va., has been elected president of a new bank, which has just thrown open its doors for business. The dispatch announcing the fact declared the woman to be one highly respected by both the whites and the blacks of that community, she having taught school thereabouts for a number of years, and so conducted herself as to gain their utmost confidence. If more of the young colored men in the South would so shape their lives as to have the same simple yet substantial statement made about them they too would either be elected president of a bank or master of a farm, and the one is just as honorable as the other. The race problem would soon be solved if only a majority of the young colored people would make up their minds to be highly respected by both the whites and the blacks in the community in which they live. It is quite true that there are as many and perhaps more "cussed" whites as blacks, but that does not make your case better because some one else is as bad or worse than yourself. He who shaped our destinies intended that at least a majority of us should be good, and when we stray from the straight and narrow way we but invite our own destruction. Cassius Marcellus Clav. The death of no man within the past decade or more should cause greater real grief among the Afro-Americans of this country than that of Gen. Cassius Marcellus Clay, the famous Kentuckian and the master of Whitehall, one of the most noted farm homes throughout the length and breadth of the Southland. Gen. Clay, from, and even before his maturity, was a consistent champion of the emancipation of the slaves of this country, and subsequently the equal rights of the Negroes before the law the same as that enjoyed by their former masters. For the part he played in the great War of the Rebellion in this country he was honored by all subsequent Republican presidents until he became unable to longer fill positions of honor, trust and responsibility. During his dotage he remained a firm advocate of the civil rights of the Ne- THE SEA Publishes the POLITICAL NEWS. Pot-Pie Column is admitted by all par- the state.

Gen. Clay was ninety-three years of age at his death and his life had been one of continued usefulness. His will leaves Whitehall and all of its surroundings for a public national park, and whatever other properties and moneys he possessed are to be converted into the beautifying of Whitehall as a national park. Washington's Racial Enemies. The disposition on the part of a few colored men to belittle the efforts and labors of Booker T. Washington, because, forsooth, he is getting more public approval than they, is to say the least damnably despicable. One William M. Trotter of Boston, Mass., who is the editor of a miserable little two-by-four paper, which does not carry enough advertisements in its columns to half pay its running expenses, but which lives by vilifying a man whose shoes he is not worthy to unbuckle, headed a mob to hiss Mr. Washington down while he was speaking at a public meeting in Boston a few evenings ago. Mr. Trotter's attacks upon Prof. Washington from time to time have been shameful in the extreme, and they show that he is a being without either principle or manhood and that his proper associates are hoodlums and slum habitues. Mr. Washington may do things different from what he would have him do, but that is no reason for vilifying him, and there is no denying the fact that he is doing more good than any other man in this country for the uplifting of the Negroes and as much good as any other man for the uplifting of mankind without regard to race, color or compexion. If we do not approve of his methods there is no reason why we should become a disturbing element when he is attending to his own duties and not trying to run ten-cent weeklies as is Mr. Trotter. There are a score or more weekly papers edited by colored men in the North, that never lose an opportunity of abusing Booker Washington because they claim that he has the ear of the president of the United States, but the truth of the whole matter is, they abuse him because he is a success and they a failure. Such contemptible curs are too mean, low and despicable to even be called human beings. It's a Political Paper Mobocracy's Bloody Reign.

If on BLICAN AY Seattle, Wash. Tales of the Town The King County Fair Association The School Book Company wins. The supreme court has directed the superior court of King county to issue an injunction restraining County Superintendent Hartranft from directing the use of Rand, McNally & Co.'s school books in higher grades than the state contract specifies, and thereby lessening the sale of the books. The decision is of great importance to the entire state, as well as King county, as it means the literal enforcement of school book contracts, regardless of their merits. It means it is the duty of courts to guard the sacredness of contracts, regardless of whether they are good or bad. It is not for officials to exercise their judgment and say that a wiser contract might have been made; but it is their duty to enforce valid contracts as made by those lawfully authorized to make them. It is an application of the principle that law is law and no one has a right to alter it or to set it aside. The case arose from the fact that the King county board of education withdrew entirely from use in the first year of the schools of this county "Lights to Literature," Book I, using it in the second year. The second year book was ordered used in the third year an dso on up to the seventh year. This was deemed absolutely necessary, as the books were all too "deep" for the grade intended. As the greatest number of pupils are enrolled in the first year, decreasing correspondingly with the advancement of the grades, the loss of the sale of books was considerable, amounting, the court finds, to about 20 per cent. The court holds all evidence as to the necessity for using the books, other than as by contract, is immaterial. The legislature first lodged the power in the state board of education to determine what books should be used, and to enter into contract in behalf of the state with publishers to furnish them. * * * Seattle seems to be again in the power of the thugs and thieves, who have rendezvoused in this city ever since the Humes administration has been in existence. For a while they were kept quiet by the authorities, but for the past few weeks they have broken loose again, and now the city seems to be wholly at their mercy. One hardly feels like thinking that the officials are direlict in their duty to not put a stop to their operations, but with the number of police that have been put on the force from time to time it does seem that the thugs could be corralled sooner or later, and as a word of warning it had better be done. * * * Perhaps one of the most daring and desperate robberies and hold-ups that was ever perpetrated in this city was at the home of T. S. Lippy last Sunday night, when three thugs entered the house while he was away and then sat down to await his coming in order to rob him. Mr. Lippy, under ordinary circumstances, is a man without fear of danger, but when he entered his home and a big gun was shoved under his nose and he was commanded to hold up his hands, he was taken wholly by surprise, and though he did not hold up his hands, yet he took his life in his own hands in not doing so, and it is singular that they did not shoot him instead of hitting him over the head and thereby inflicting painful wounds. To the credit of the department, however, the leader of those daring desperadoes was soon captured and is now awaiting trial and promises to plead guilty and will doubtless get the full extent of the law. The first week of the races is now past and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that the present race meet will be the greatest in the history of the King County Fair Association. The pleasant weather and the comfortableness of the grounds makes an afternoon spent at the races a most pleasant one, and hundreds of Seattle's best citizens are taking advantage of it and are daily present. Manager Van De Vanter has not left a thing undone which would add to the comfort, pleasure and amusement of his guests and they show their appreciation. The string of horses is even better this season than ever before and this too accounts for the big crowds on the grounds every afternoon. "I've word with you," said Manager Van De Vanter to one of the drivers, "if ever you go on that track again showing signs of having indulged in excessive strong drinks you will be barred from this track completely. I propose to give those visiting these races a square deal and drivers and riders must go on duty without being hampered or hindered on account of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. Uniess a compromise is effected the courts of this city will be called upon to arbitrate a civil rights case, as Gustave B. Aldrich, a colored attorney of Tacoma, who was refused accommodations in the dining room of the Hotel! Cecil, has caused a warrant to be issued for the proprietor thereof and he is now under bonds awaiting trial. There is a law in this state which makes it a crime to refuse persons accommodations in public places, hotels, barber shops, restaurants, etc., when such is done purely on the grounds of their color or nationality, and this Mr. Smart, the proprietor, has publicly admitted was the reason why Mr. Aldrich was refused. He, however, paliates his crime by saying that the servants in the house would not serve Mr. Aldrich in the dining room and that he was powerless to make them do so. That was to some extent an excuse, but by no means an excuse in the eyes of the law, and the prosecuting attorney issued a warrant for his arrest. Mr. Aldrich is a gentleman of pleasing appearance, good deportment, and in every respect such a man as a hotel catering for public patronage should feel glad to accommodate. In Tacoma he stands par excellent among the business men, and therefore feels very keenly such a public snub for he claims he sat in the dining room one hour and a half and was then told he would not be served by the waiters in the dining room, but if he would accept service in his private room he would be accommodated, which he did in order to show to the courts that it was on account of his color that he was refused accommodations. NORTHWEST NOTES. The car barns of the Astoria railroad were partially burned August 5th, and the damage is estimated to be $15,000. Portland, Ore., has accepted the bid of Moran Bros. of Seattle to build the fire boat for that city at a cost of $56,600. The bid of the Morans was $400 lower than any other. L. A. Farmer, a Seattle contractor and builder, has been awarded the contract of erecting the Washington State building on the Louisjana Purchase Exposition grounds. His bid for the same was $8,716. The summer salmon run of Puget Sound is expected to begin within a few days and the fishermen are ready for it. It is thought that the salmon run this year will be the largest for a number of years. According to the health officer's report of Tacoma that city leads the world for good health. Tacoma's death rate for the month of July only amounted to .55 per cent. of the entire population. Collector Ide has been instructed by the treasury department at Washington City to install a wireless telegraphic system connecting the important points of Puget Sound custom's district with the main office at Port Townsend. The saloons and all other business houses of Vancouver, Wash., have been ordered to cease doing business on Sunday, and any one violating that law is to be arrested. Last Sunday both the saloons and the business houses lived up to the order. Oregon's delegation in congress will ask for an appropriation of $700,000 for the benefit of the coming Lewis and Clarke Exposition in that city, $100,000 to be used in an Alaska exhibit, a like amount for a Hawaiian and Philippines display and the remainder for general purposes. drink or anything else." The above rebuke is quoted in order to show to the public that Mr. Van De Vanter has his patrons' interest at heart. The conversation was overheard by the management of this paper and the management of The Meadows was not aware of his presence, and will be astonished to see his words in print. The program for next week will be even more interesting than it was the past week, and that is saying a good deal. Tuesday and Friday will be ladies' days and all will be admitted free. Hundreds of Seattle's leading ladies were present last Tuesday, and they naturally drew an immense crowd of gentlemen. You infringe on none of your religious scruples by taking a seat in the grand stand and watching the trotting and running races, for the man or woman is not born who does not admire a fleet steed. There are plenty of cars to accommodate all who desire to go out and you can return as early as you like. Take the cars for the races at the corner of First and Railroad street. Races begin promptly at 2:15 every afternoon. The city of Los Angeles, Cal., is agitating the proposition of consolidation with the county, or of forming a new county, composed of the city and its immediate environs, the two to be under one government. In this connection it might be asked what has become of our new Seattle county and union with the city. It is now quite evident that the repairs and reconstruction work ordered on the cruiser New York will be done at the Puget Sound Navy Yard. The work will cost about $500,000 and require about a year's time. This with other vessels that it seems evident will also be ordered there for repairs, will make things lively again about the yard for some time to come. The state of Washington is to be congratulated that President E. A. Bryan of the Agricultural College at Pullman has decided to stay by the school, that through his efforts has taken a high rank among the institutions of the state, rather than accept the presidency of the largest agricultural school in the Union, that at Ames, Iowa, which has recently been tendered him. President Roosevelt has denied the prayer and petition of Senators Foster and Ankeny to appoint Hal. B. Cole receiver of the land office in Spokane on the grounds that Cole had misappropriated moneys while Indian agent on the Colville reservation, which moneys belonged to an Indian girl; and, furthermore, because the present incumbent, W. H. Ludden, has made an ideal official. Prof. Kincaid, head of the department of zoology at the State University, has selected Friday Harbor, on one of the San Juan islands, as the place for the erection of a marine laboratory, to be used in connection with the state institution, but devoted, as its name implies, to the study of marine animal life. The professor has been making a tour of the Sound and added many valuable specimens to the state zoo. The enraged citizens of Asotin took the law in their own hands last Sunday evening and lynched one William Hamilton, who had outraged and murdered Mabel Richards, an eleven-year-old girl. The mob stormed the jail at the midnight hour and the sheriff seemed powerless to prevent it from accomplishing its purpose, and soon the man, who had committed the awful crime of rape, was a lifeless corpse dangling from a telegraph pole in the heart of the city. There are reports of rich finds of gold in the beach sands at Icy Cape, Alaska, not far from Point Barrow, the northernmost point on the territory. This is a long ways north from Nome, and the seasons are so short there that it will be expensive getting the gold, even if reports prove true. Alaska is a large country, and while a good deal of it has been hunted over, but a very small portion has been thoroughly prospected, and probably not one-half of it, even superficially so, so there are abundant opportunities for many rich finds yet. General orders No. 23, issued from the office of Adjt. Gen. James A. Drain, at Olympia, announces the following promotions in the National Guard as the result of recent examinations: Capt. Wm. L.

This decision ought to have a double effect for good, first, to stimulate the payment of taxes to avoid certain loss of property by operation of the law, also, by clearing the cloud, to make them as safe investments as any other titles.

If it is allowed to go on in this way he will soon have destroyed another of the "vital issues" that the Democratic party hoped to raise for the next campaign, i. e., the turn-the-rascals-out issue. At the rate it is now going they will all be turned out before the party can call a national convention. Another unpleasant feature of it for them is the investigation is no respector of persons and Democrat as well as Republican attaches to the service are having to walk the plank. ARE THE LOWEST Pianos sold as low as $6.00 Per Month Sherman, Clay & Co. STEINWAY DEALERS Ever since District Attorney Folk, of St. Louis, came into prominence in the prosecution and conviction of boodlers, his name has been mentioned in connection with nominations for higher office. First for governor of Missouri, now for President. As he is a Democrat, of course it is as the nominee of that party he is mentioned. While it would be a high honor to him, yet it would be an empty one; but if the Democratic party is ever to elect another president, it is to be hoped it will be some such man as Mr. Folk is, judging him from his official career. But Missouri cannot afford to lose his services to the state for a presidential nomination, that promises no hope of winning. As governor of the state, he would be in a position to make his peculiar qualifications of service to the people, to their lasting benefit. THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS BREWERY Anti-administration malcontents are seizing upon the W. H. Miller escapade in Washington to make a point against President Roosevelt. Miller, an assistant foreman in the government printing office, at the demand of the unions, was discharged from his position, for no reason except that he had been expelled from the book-binders union. An appeal was taken from the department to the President. It seems Miller was a competent workman and no reason assigned for his removal except as stated, and under the civil service rules he was entitled to his position. The President was certainly fair about it when he said there was no objection to the labor organizations, but, no rules or resolutions of the union can be permitted to override the laws of the United States. It is simply a question of which is the higher law, that of a labor union or that of the government. The President says the government is, and what honest man will dispute it. YES SIR!

In past ages armies stood for war, and standing armies were maintained by a nation to make war upon another people, or to defend itself from others who were liable to make war upon it. In later years a standing army has been kept by most governments as a harbinger of peace. The United States government has never maintained more than the nucleus for an army during times of peace, putting her dependance upon volunteers, citizen soldiers, when need was for them. The wisdom of this is doubted by no one, but occasionally one is found who disbelieves in the utility of the nucleus, the small standing army in time of peace; but the following from an exchange will show that at last valuable occupation has been found for our army, in time of peace, and with these to its credit and the further fact that it is as ready to wage war on unfavorable conditions as upon a human foe, all objections should be henceforth withdrawn: "The United States army has driven out the plague from the Philippines as effectively as it cleared Cuba of yellow fever. The tireless vigilance of the uninterrupted war on rats and filth for seven months brought victory. A bounty was paid for rats alive or dead, each being tagged with its address, so that if microscopic examination of it showed plague the house from which it came could be disinfected or burned. Of the 60,000 rats caught 40,666 were examined and 242 were found to be suffering from the plague. The uses to which the army is put have increased in both number and importance since the Spanish war. In Porto Rico it distributed food after the hurricane and provided for fair elections; in the Philippines before war ceased the army established schools, with soldier teachers, stopped small-pox by enforcing vaccination, and improved sanitation, which excluded other contagious diseases. A stable government and healthy cities were given Cuba by the army, so that country no longer menaces our southern cities with epidemics." National Irrigation Congress. Following closely upon the Trans-Mississippi Congress to be held in this city Aug. 18 to 21, comes the eleventh session of the National Irrigation Congress, which will convene at Ogden, Utah. This is a convention of vast interest and vital concern to this nation. While all arable lands are not exhausted or occupied, yet the time has come for irrigation to receive the consideration its importance requires. Within the past few months, possibly, more than ever before has the public mind begun to awaken to this matter. There are many thousand of square miles of arid lands throughout the west that by the magic touch of water can be made to blossom and fruit in abundant fold. Not only these but much of gain and increase in crops may be obtained from lands in the more favored districts, that bear somewhat, without artificial watering. Government and leading irrigation experts, practical farmers, irrigationists, fruit growers, representatives from state agricultural institutions, state engineers, government and noted foresters, as well as press representatives, business men, officials and law makers, will be in attendance and participate in the discussion. The program will include: Practical irrigation and forestry lessons; reports of experts; application of provisions of the reclamation act; state progress under the national act; views on settlement of legal complications; and the pertinent and important theme of colonization. In this connection it is interesting to note that there is an effort already on foot looking to a merging of the two organizations into one, and as their interests or objects are, to quite an extent, identical, it would seem to be a good thing. One annual gathring could attend to the work now being done by the two and fully as satisfactorially and more economically. Burning at the Stake. When our soldiers were accused of torture in the Philippines, many of us took the simple ground that degraded cruelty was inconceivable in our enlightened, liberty-loving race. Later came explanations of the few cases which seemed undoubted. Tropic heat made men crazy. The foe's barbarity infected our soldiers. We accepted these things, and clung to our belief in human nature and American decency. What is going on throughout our country now is a harder test of faith. Please Heaven, we shall continue to believe, but it will be a task. We have no palliation to make it easier. Chivalric feeling for woman is no longer the excuse. Sectional aspects are disappearing. Even race hatred, which is a genuine explanation of the milder Russian cruelty, promises soon to be lost here in the one true cause—the love of bestial excitement. Burning a man is so much more thrilling than boyish sport like stoning a dog or pulling legs and wings from an insect that if the supply of blacks runs out we fear it will be necessary to use the whites. One of the most beautiful tragedies in all literature is rendered in parts shocking and unreadable because of the gouging of an old man's eyes. When the civilized allies made war on China, we shuddered and turned away from the newspaper, seeing what Russian, German, and French soldiers did to Chinese men and women; and we rejoiced that the British and American troops were guiltless. There is another story, now, about French soldiers escaping from a wreck by beating the passengers from the boats—beating women and little children. How long before such a story will come to bring to us also the hot flush of shame? What are all these crimes compared to burning a human being at the stake, in order to have a thrilling party, to see him writhe and hear him scream? If we indulge in such pleasures, shall we not tread the downward path which we see in the history of Spain? Indeed, it may be doubted if Spain had any cruelty quite so unexcused and gross. Interference by our federal government would be stupid tampering with justice. The responsibility is with each community. If the wild beast in man is to be chained and kept from turning our progress back to sickening inhumanity, the saving work must be done by local courage and nobility.—Colliers. The Star's Anarchist Writer. A few days ago an editorial appeared in the Seattle Star purporting to be a cure for lynching, and, to say the least, the editorial was a most remarkable document to be sent out to persons living in a Christian community. The authorities of the law would be perfectly justified in causing the writer of such an infamous and riotous document to be arrested and put on trial for inciting the community to riot and blood-shed, and should such be done most any jury of honorable citizens would find him guilty and fix his punishment for it at life imprisonment. It is revolting in the extreme for a man to outrage a woman, and that, too, regardless of her color, complexion or nationality, and a most deserving punishment should be meted out to the scoundrel, whether he be white or black, who will commit such a crime against nature. The writer is not too sure but that burning at the stake is the proper punishment for such criminals providing always the burning at the stake is legally fixed and the same punishment meted out to all classes and kinds of criminals. It is very doubtful if in this country there are one half as many white girls outraged by black brutes as there are black girls outraged by white brutes. Just why the writer should feel that it is the proper punishment to burn at the stake the black brute and to not mete out the same punishment to the white brute is a quandary. There are in the United States pretty nearly two million mulattoes, the outcome of illicit relations between the white and the black races, and of that number not to exceed one in one thousand are the offspring of a black man and a white woman, while on the other hand this race of mulattoes is the outcome of forced relations between white men and colored women. We are reminded by this of the actions of the late Missouri legislature that passed a law making chicken stealing a felony in order that they might send a few more Negroes to the state's prison, while they themselves set about at once to steal their state blind and now the members of that legislature are themselves swift candidates for the state penitentiary. The editor of the Star seems to overlook the fact that within the past ten years hordes of white brutes have been sent to the state penitentiary from King county for outraging girls of their own color, and hundreds more would have been had they have gotten their just deserts, while but one Negro has been sent to the penitentiary for a like offense, and he was so fair in complexion that the average man would mistake him for a white man. If the editor wants to practice what he preaches he should head a mob to go to the King county jail and take one Dr. Van Waters therefrom and burn him at the stake, for he is now awaiting trial for the outraging of three little girls of his own color and nationality, the oldest of which is not over twelve years of age. Such $15 a week brutes as the Star's editorial writer is a dangerous menace to the peace and dignity of any community and should himself be sent to state's prison. Realm of Religion There are no fields so fair and sweet as those through which climbs the hard road of sacrifice. James Buckham. "Somehow, I never feel like good things b'long to me till I pass 'em on to somebody else."—Mrs. Wiggs in "Lovey Mary." What a Tract Did. Early in 1819, while waiting to see a patient, a young physician in New York took up and read a tract on missions, which lay in the room where he sat. On reaching home he spoke to his wife of the question that had arisen in his mind. As a result they set out for Ceylon, and later India, as foreign missionaries. For thirty years the wife, and for thirty-six years the husband, labored among the heathen, and then went to their reward. Apart from what they did directly as missionaries they left behind them seven sons and two daughters. Each of these sons married, and with their wives, and both sisters, gave themselves to the same mission work. Already have several grandchildren of the first missionary become missionaries in India. And thus far thirty of that family—the Scudders—have given five hundred and twenty-nine years to India missions.—Indian Witness. In heaven above everybody will be beautiful. For, as the righteous soul is naturally beautiful, as the spiritual body is but the visibility of the soul, * * * and as happiness beautifies all that it penetrates or even touches, ugliness will have no more place in the universe, and will disappear with grief, sin and death. Alexander Maclaren, D. D. Beauty is to be acquired, but it cannot be won by earth's cosmetics. True beauty can come to one on earth only by reflection from heaven's glory. He who would be beautiful must be made so by the transfiguring light of his soul's saintliness. Christ in one gives Christlikeness to the one who represents Christ. This is the way to grow beautiful. There is no anodyne for heart-sorrow like ministry to others. If your life is woven with the dark shades of sorrow, do not sit down to deplore in solitude your hapless lot, but rise to seek out those who are more miserable than you are, bearing them balm for their wounds and love for their heartbreaks.—Rev. F. B. Meyer. Darkness a Promise of Light. In God's service there is ever a good time coming. It may be dark now, but God's order is first the dark, and then the light. Thus it was in the first day, and thus it has been in every day in God's providence since then. Darkness is to the eye of faith a promise of the coming light. "The darkest hour of the night is just before day." Take heart, then, child of God, tossing on a bed of weariness and pain in a sick chamber, or over-taxed and tempted to discouragement in your missionary work on a day of moral darkness. Watch and wait and hope. The light cometh surely. "Wait! It is only for a little while; If the dawn tarry, wait thou for the dawn." The secret of improvement in character lies in a right exercise of the power of choice. Any decision on the side of the doubtful or the bad leaves its impress on our inner personality; and it does more: It gives us a bent toward further deflection. A little Sabbath breaking allowed yourself away from home tends towards a lessened respect for the day return. Theater-going in a strange city makes the restraints of home life irksome. The Christian who ignores the prayer meeting abroad will have less enjoyment of it when his outing is over. "I thought he was a Christian," was said of a man we knew, who was seated in a card game in a railway car. "He is," was the reply, "but he is having a vacation." Such "vacations" are as injurious to character as they are to reputation. They indirectly tend to an utter abandonment of the Christian profession.—Advocate. How Reputation Counts. With most people it would seem that a bad reputation counts for more than a good one. A man who has spent a lifetime virtuously earns a good reputation which he may lose in a weak or unguarded moment. The public gloats over his fall, and all his past righteousness shrinks from view. Considering human frailty, this ought not so to be. On the other hand, a certain man who left his prison cell nearly twenty years ago, and has lived a clean and honorable life ever since as a convict. This ought not so to be, either. Shall the good man's slip lose him all his past good reputation? Shall the discharged prisoner's heroic struggle upward go for nothing? Shall the good reputation be forgotten, the bad reputation remembered? We little realize how much crime we abet by our attitude toward the erring. For ourselves, let us remember how easy it is to fall. For others, let us not drive them back into evil by turning the cold shoulder upon their efforts to rise and redeem themselves.—Selected.

Mr. Joseph Williams, of Franklin, was a visitor to the city this week, returning home last Tuesday evening. Mr. H. R. Graves, who has been confined in the pest house with small-pox, is recovering and will be out in a few days. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gayton will winin the next two weeks move in their new home on Twenty-sixth and Republican. Mr. George L. Johnson, one of Franklin's most reliable men, owing to a few days' shut down in the mines, spent one or two days in the city this week. Miss Clara Threat, who has the distinction of being one of the only two colored stenographers in the state, read the emancipation proclamation at Franklin last Tuesday. The colored touts at the race track are so thick that you can stir them with a stick and they seem to think that they have a license to bone every colored man that enters the race track grounds. Mt.

Spelger & Hurlbut SECOND AND UNION --- A large excursion party went to Franklin last Tuesday morning to participate in the usual Fourth of August celebration, which was held in commemoration of the emancipation of the slaves in the West Indies by Great Britain, which was in 1834, and was the work of William Wilberforce, who can be called the father of Negro emancipation in America. Head Waiter Thomas Wood, of the Washington, is to be congratulated over his successful management of the dining room. The hotel feeds every evening from 300 to 350 guests, and often large excursion parties. One of such parties was at the hotel this week and declared in a newspaper interview that they had received better service in the dining room of the Washington than in any other hotel in which they had been guests since they had been in the West, which was quite a compliment to pay to Mr. Wood. Lend a Hand To Gustave B. Aldrich in his civil rights case, for you may be the next victim. To driving "dirty nigger' barbers, who have set the example of refusing Negroes in public places from any social relations. In building up enterprises among Negroes that you can point with pride to for their success. In boycotting the man, woman or child who draws the color line in his business. To encouraging young men and women into getting married and buying good homes. To get more lucrative places for colored men and women in this city. To induce good people to come to Seattle and not tenderloiners. To wait upon the head push of the proposed new hotels with a view of getting them to employ colored help. WHY WE ARE IGNORED. We fail to profit from adversity. We are deficient in family home life. Because we neglect our opportunities. We live too far ahead of our resources. The Negro lacks confidence in himself. Because we imitate rather than originate. Our financial honor as a race is below par. Our idlers and loafers are too much in evidence. The average Negro learns little and forgets nothing. We do not place the proper estimate upon our women. Education does not seem to increase our race cohesion. We condemn lynchings but not the antecedent crimes. Our best men and women are not known to the whites. We are spies on our own race for the white man's purposes. We do not consider what we are entitled to and demand it. There are too many seventy dollar suits on five dollar men. We have too many parlor organs and too few instructive books. We have not learned that self-denial, like mercy, is twice blessed. We yield control of our sons and daughters at too early an age. The so-called big Negro is not much in supporting race enterprises. We patronize our enemies rather than those who seek our trade. Waywardness and wilfulness in our youths are not effectually rebuked. We cannot enforce discipline at home on account of our own conduct. When one man seeks a position all his fellows rush in for the same place. We wait until the high tide is past before we realize its having been present. We are too bent on destroying rather than building up the fortunes of the race. We are too easy victims of insurance grafters and smooth installment solicitors. We are blind to the virtues of the race while we loudly condemn their vices. We have too much police court business and not enough bank transactions. We too frequently use the livery of heaven to advance the purposes of the devil. Every half-educated upstart feels he has a mission to preach or edit a newspaper. Our new patent leathers and silk hats are too often projected before our creditors' eyes. We are always ready to fight one another, but we are all afraid of the common enemy. We claim we have too many churches, newspapers and leaders, and yet we give none the proper support. Many superior cotton pickers and wood choppers are flattered into taking up the legal or medical profession. Mob violence is the parent of anarchy. The women of our race have its future in their keeping. Color prejudice is not important if it does not hinder justice. The confidence of a people is always given to the unselfish leader. To him who sits down and waits, nothing comes but old age or death. The tongue of the black slanderer is a blood relation of the white lyncher. Negroes should remember that out of suffering have emerged the strength of souls. Like the "poor white trash" of the South, our woes are of condition and not of race. The power of an honest dollar is more effective than the eloquence of fifty race agitators. Peonage of the body will be best removed by the education of the Negro's head and hand. Race papers are no longer experiments. They have demonstrated that they are necessities. Judge Lynch is the highest legal officer in too many states. He is impartial only that he knows no section. Is Kentucky our "enemy's country?" All the National Negro Conferences have invaded her territory this year.
