Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. X. NO. 10 POLITICAL POT=PIE Apropose the Republican's last week's Pot-Pie article bearing on Gov. McBride's intention of controlling the next state convention in order to strengthen himself in the second state convention, the Union comments as follows: It is reported that Governor McBride will endeavor to control the next state convention, which will be held simply for the purpose of electing delegates to the Republican national convention. The governor, it is said, desires to make a showing of strength in view of the fact that in the next following convention he will have a fight on his hands to secure a nomination for his present office. Whether he will control this first convention will be determined in the future, but if it is to be considered as a McBride or antiMcBride contest it will put a new aspect on the situation. It will simply bring on the main fight a little earlier, and will stimulate the political feeling in the state to a boiling pitch several months ahead of time. That the governor is already in the field is unquestionably true. He is putting up pins wherever possible. He has dug up a number of anti-railway speeches and is working them over to suit the hour. He is making appointments with a view to political strength. He is engaged, in other words, in the fight of his life. His former fights have been for a policy, but now it is for office for himself. A very general impression appears to prevail in the state that the governor cannot be renominated. He has been to antagonistic to too many different factions. He has been out with his hatchet ever since he took office. He has sought to control by sheer force, and has failed. Many of his acts in the last legislature have warped friendships toward him which existed before. He is not as strong in Whitman county as he was last year. He certainly has little or no support in either King or Pierce counties, which are strong railway communities. He has weakened himself seriously in Yakima county and in the northwest counties. Even Skagit, his own county, may turn its back upon him this time because of his veto of the much needed road bills. In other words, the governor is now fighting for political life, with the odds against him. The men he fought in the last two or three years, the men he has attempted to drive and the men he has thrown overboard are against him for all there is in it. He is not looked upon any more as a Moses for the people, but as a politician seeking political preference and aggrandizment. And as such he will have to make his fight to control the destinies of the party and the men seeking public office under the next nominating convention, to say nothing of ruling the first convention *** The hint in last week's paper to the effect that the Republicans of the state should hold two state conventions has been food for thought for the past week among the politicians and they are more or less divided on the subject; some wanting two conventions, while others are of the opinion that but one state convention should be held, and thereby avoid a double expense on the party. A very prominent politician and one who perhaps expects honors from the Republicans in the very near future is inclined to the one convention idea because it will the sooner relieve those on the anxious seat of the agony they must be undergoing while awaiting the assembling of the clans to seal their fate or fortune, and then again, he reasons, if the convention leaves any sore spots they will have time to heal up before the election comes off. If but one convention is held it must necessarily be quite early in order to name the delegates to the national convention, which will be pulled off some time in June. A majority of the commenters on the subject are inclined to want two conventions, the extra expense to the contrary notwithstanding; then there would be less room for trading; an important nomination would not then be traded off with some politician who desired to take a trip East and incidentally represent his state in the national convention while doing so. It will be a great mistake to think of holding but one state convention, and the Pie-maker therefore suggests that the first be held in April and the second in August. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 14, 1903 The following, from the Walla Walla Argus, should set at rest those political quid nuncs of the state who insist that Senator Ankeny has lost his political prestige among the politicians of Walla Walla county, even though he was slightly rebuked at the last municipal election in the city of Walla Walla: Those papers and people at a distance who have been deceived into thinking that Senator Ankeny has lost his following, and that the Republican party of Walla Walla county is all but captured by the McBride faction, will be likely to wonder what has happened a year from now, when the regular organization shows its usual strength. Through his bitter opposition to the interests which are the making of this whole Pacific country, Governor McBride has made himself unpopular with a large majority of the people in this state, and when he goes down to defeat next year, as he heartily deserves to go, we will see his meagre following in Walla Walla melt away into a mere auxiliary of the Democrat party. The Republican party of the county, as now organized, will stand for Roosevelt for president, and for a hopeful, active, business candidate for governor, and this attitude will give the McBride faction no grounds for a fight, unless the governor should show a strength which no one thinks possible. If Governor McBride can be nominated, nothing will be surprising after that—not even the nomination of Grover Cleveland for president. --- Mayor Humes declined to either affirm or deny the published announcement that he is now a candidate for the postmastership of this city, but did say, "I have not heard of it before." If the mayor had not heard of the proposition before then, why did he not emphatically say, "I am not a candidate for the office." The truth of the whole matter is Mayor Humes is always out for some kind of an office, and he would not deny it because there might be some one working for him without his knowledge and he would as soon have one office as another, just so it had a fat salary attached to it; and if he denied it he would lose one opportunity of being a candidate for every office in the gift of the country. Mayor Humes has not made a direct application for the appointment of postmaster in this city, but he has made application to be appointed judge in Alaska and he has fixed his heart on it and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that Mayor Humes was instrumental in having that article appear in a Portland paper for the express purpose of diverting politicians from the real thing that he wants, and hopes to sneak into a life time job while the other fellows are knapping. Tom Humes is a natural born office grafter and if he does not die in office it will not be his fault. *** Among the Republicans of this county there promises to be a great scramble for the nomination of sheriff and the scramble has already begun. Strange to say, three of the present county officials are said to be candidates for the nomination of sheriff. County Treasurer J. W. McConnaughey is seeking the nomination; the same is true of County Auditor George B. Lamping, and the same is said to be true of Coroner Hoye, and to this number of aspirants the name of John A. Stringer, deputy United States marshal, and Frank J. Kennedy, city detective, can be added. Each of the three former persons have held county positions for the past four years and Stringer has held his present position for five years, while Kennedy has been city detective for the past seven or eight years. Aside from those already mentioned for this nomination, it is said on very good authority that there are at least a half a dozen common citizens who have not as yet made their intentions public, although they are quietly talking it around among their friends, seeking the same nomination. The fight for this nomination among the Republicans, as has already been intimated in this connection, will, using a vulgar expression, be "a warm baby." * * * There is some activity along this line among the Democrats as well, and already those seeking the nomination have begun to make their intentions known. The first and perhaps the strongest to give it out that he would be a candidate for the nomination LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 903 PRICE FIVE CENTS of sheriff at the hands of the next Democratic county convention is James M. Quilter, who has been a deputy in Sheriff Ed Cudihee's office ever since Cudihee first took the oath of office. "Jim Quilter," as he is familiarly known among his host of friends in this county, is no stranger in political circles, and being a very affable gentleman, he will have plenty of friends to aid him in getting the nomination, and should he be successful in that he will find plenty of friends outside of the Democratic party to aid him in getting the election. Mr. Quilter in 1892 was a candidate on the Democratic ticket for sheriff of this county, and under the circumstances made a most excellent run for the place. It will be remembered that the Democratic party was buried under the "ditch" proposition that year, and of course Quilter went with all the rest, though the records show that he ran 700 votes ahead of his ticket. Had not King county, without regard to political differences, decided to elect Hon. John H. McGraw governor at that time at the sacrifice of everything else for the purpose of urging the early digging of the Lake Washington canal, ing the early digging of the Lake Washington canal, there is no doubt but that Mr. Quilter would have then been elected sheriff of this county at that time. Quilter is still popular among the voters, without regard to their party affiliations, and it is believed by his best friends that he will make as good a race for sheriff, if his party will only nominate him, as did Ed. Cudihee both two and four years ago. He has made an admirable record as deputy sheriff, and made a most admirable record as deputy United States marshal, which position he filled for four years under the Cleveland administration, and these records should serve him well in his efforts to get his party nomination for the highest office in the county. Should he be successful he will be without factional differences in his own party to hamper or hinder him at the polls, for it can be said without fear of successful contradiction, that Quilter, of all men in the Democratic party in this county, would come the nearest to getting the united support of the party. Then again, he has proven himself so worthy of any honors that might be conferred upon him that he will draw very heavily from the Republican ranks, for there has developed in recent years quite an independent voting spirit among the Republicans, who are inclined, in local affairs, to go for the man rather than the party, which was shown in the defeat of the Republican nominees for sheriff two and four years ago, and even in the defeat of Hon. J. M. Frink for governor. That being a fact, Mr. Quilter's friends feel quite confident that no Democrat would come as near getting that united independent Republican vote as he, and they therefore urge his nomination on these very grounds. *** If Chief Sullivan had gone a step further and put some men that are now doing duty on the force not in uniform but in citizens' clothes but without a police star he would have done a most excellent thing. * * * A number of politicians spent last week in Seattle and from their movements there must have been something doing. Among those observed were Hon. C. I. Roth, Senator Clapp, Senator Ed. Hamilton, Congressman Cushman, Gov. McBride, A. M. Murphy et al. * * * Banker Lord writes this office that he is not nor will not be a candidate for governor. It would seem from the above that Scobey, Madge & Co. will have to get another fellow to be their stalking horse in order to hold their grasp on the throttle of Thurston county politics. **** If you are interested in the politics of this state there is no better way to keep posted than to subscribe for The Seattle Republican, which always gives a fair and unbiased account of political maneuvers.

Jim Quilter's announcement in this issue is the first gun fired. REALM OF RELIGION Dead Yet Speaking. Dead men win many battles. America has been often led to victory by Washington since he died. The words, the example, and influence of Lincoln de- cide in questions and struggles which we face today. In our own lives there is some one whose memory enables us to win a struggle against temptation, to continue in a battle against a wrong. And our dead self, our dead past, rises often to make a decision or settle a conflict that the present requires. In an old English ballad the poet sings of the way in which youth moulds age, and the past decides the present: “T saw a dead man win a fight, I think that man was I.” What we have been helps us or hinders us in what we are or in what we want to be, Let us watch then what enters into our past, for it may be always present.

The 700,000 Tons of Iron and Steel f Annually consumed on this coast can be as cheaply manufactured here as in the East, and the profits and benefits to captial and labor retained to our own people, and incidentlly stop a leakage of more than $25,000,000 a year that is paid for the Eastern product. More Fortunes Have Been Made in Iron and Steel ‘Than in any other one thing, and the organization of a company here on a large and broad enough basis to supply the demands is a cause for congratula- tion to the Citizens of Seattle, which city will reap the great benefit to come from such an industry. It Is a Worthy Enterprise And the management propose that all the benefits to be derived from it shall accrue to Seattle. It has been the custom heretofore, largely, to look to the people of the East for the money necessary to establish Pacific Coast enterprises. The result of this policy has been, and is, that the profits of many profitable Pacific Coast enterprises are now going into the pockets of Eastern investors who had the courage and foresight to put their money into the development of these concerns, The Seattle Iron and Steel Company propose to reverse this order of things, in so far as the complete financing of its enterprise is concerned. It is giving the people of Seattle an opportunity to purchase its bonds, thus insuring the profits to Seattle investors. It is Not an All-on-Paper Proposition As it already has an extensive plant in operation which it proposed to enlarge. ‘ The Seattle Iron and Steel Company will secure the money it requires to carry out its plans, in addition to that already paid in, by the sale of its bonds at 9§ per centum of the face value thereof, accompanied by 100 per centum of the capital stock of the company as a bonus, ‘The total issue of bonds of this company is $2,000,000, bearing date July 1, 1903. ‘These bonds will be issued in two denominations—one of $100 and the other of $500—so that the man of moderate means, as well as the capitalist, may have an opportunity of participating in this investment—an opportunity that no one having funds for investment should fail to profit by, The company will not sell any of its stock, but it will give 100 per centum of its stock as a bonus with every bond purchased. That is, $100 of stock will accompany every $100 bond ; $500 of stock will accompany every $500 bond, These bonds, as has been said, will be sold to investors at 95 per centum of their face value. They are first mortgage 20-year gold bonds, bearing 6 per cent, interest, payable semi-annually. Within ninety days the Seattle Iron and Steel Company will have a net income from the operation of its furnace at Irondale more than sufficient to meet all the interest that will annually accrue on all of the bonds it will have outstanding. Within eight months it will have a net income of $950 per day from its furnace at Irondale, and its open-hearth steel plant and rolling mills; and in twenty months it will have an income of $3,000 per day from the above plants and its new 200-ton blast furnace. So it will be seen that the company will not only be able to meet its interest obligations promptly, but will have surplus earnings sufficient to not only pay a handsome dividend upon its stock, but to enable it to expand its business, to the betterment of every one interested therein, We offer our bonds to Pacific Coast investors as a safe, sound, first-class 6 per cent, investment. But while this bond, which will cost the investor 95 per centum of its face value, is a good investment in itself, the stock which goes with each bond as a bonus will, we firmly believe, in the course of a few years pay the holders thereof anywhere from 20 per cent, to 50 per cent per annum. This stock, for which the investor pays nothing, will ultimately be much more valuable than the bond upon which his investment is based. ee Subscriptions for these bonds will be received in Seattle by the— Puget Sound National Bank .

Now comes one John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Ga., with a brand new idea on the race solution question. In an address recently at Chautauqua, N. Y., he stated his plan was for the government to set aside a state for exclusive use of the Negroes and to disfranchise them in other states. This sounds nice, but is lame in several essential features. In the first place, the Negroes are American citizens, and the government has no right to attempt to dictate as to where they shall live, and without the use of force they could not be herded or restricted in certain limits. To disfranchise those who remain on the outside of the particular state designated would only leave them as the most of them are today; and the franchise, as precious a boon as it is to those who are free to exercise it, has but slight appeal to those unaccustomed to it, and many of them with but little or no conception of its use. The scheme is an idle groping in the dark, and without merit. The same person, in an address on "The Mob Spirit of the South," defends lynching as the only remedy for the crime of assault. He says: "The problem of the hour is not how to prevent lynching in the South, but the larger question: How shall we destroy the crime which has and always will provoke lynching? The answer which the mob returns to this vital question is already known. The mob answers it with the rope, the bullet and sometimes, God save us, with the torch. And the mob is practical; its theory is effective to a large degree; the mob is today the sternest, the strongest and the most effective restraint that the age holds for the control of rapine. The lynching does not exterminate the criminal, but he holds him mightily in check. As a sheer, cold, patent fact, the mob stands today as the most potential bulwark between the women of the South and such a carnival of crime as would infuriate the world and precipitate the annihilation of the Negro race. Expediting the processes of the law would not be adequate to eliminate lynching. Separate laws for white or black or the treatment of the crime of assault as separate and outside of all other codes are but expedients; there is no real remedy but one. No statute will permanently solve this problem. Religion does not solve it. Education complicates it. Politics complicates it. "The truth which lies beyond and above all these temporizing experiments, is that separation is the logical, the inevitable, the only solution of this great problem of the races." This is a Southerner. It is the spirit, alas! of a great many people in the South, and it bodes no good for the nation. It is a spirit of defiance of the laws of the land, a spirit of anarchy. Surely the solution of the race question and the peace of the nation lies not through such means. AT THE MEA MEET ME AT THE MEADOWS them. Take the cars on South First avenue and Jackson street, which start for the race tracks every ten minutes, and continue until the guests are all out. The races begin promptly at 2.15. By addressing A. T. Van De Vanter, manager of the King County Fair Association, you can and will be advised on any subject bearing on the present race meet or the affairs of the association. "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 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.

Arrangements are now complete for the forthcoming meeting of the Trans-Mississippi Commercial Congress, which convenes in this city August 18, continuing to August 22. The session this year will be the most important in the history of the organization which has done so much to build up the West and to obtain from Congress a proper and just recognition of the resources and merits of the whole Trans-Mississippi region. Gov. Henry McBride will welcome the congress in a speech to be delivered Tuesday morning at the convention hall, Leschi park. The pavilion at the park, with a seating capacity of upwards of 1,000 people, has been secured from the Seattle Electric Company and special street car facilities will be provided. The congress will meet daily at 9 o'clock and will adjourn at 4 p. m. Luncheon will be served in the pavillion daily under the auspices of the Ladies Auxiliary to the congress. To the delegates from the south and central west the daily sessions, in a splendid pavilion overlooking Lake Washington, fanned by the cool breezes from the Cascades, will be a treat. During the sessions, there will be several excursions. There will be a steamer ride on Lake Washington, an excursion by moonlight to Bremerton and return and other side trips of interest. While it is not certain that Admiral Dewey will be here, yet the members of the executive committee hope to finally receive a favorable response to the invitation to Admiral and Mrs. Dewey to become the guests of the city of Seattle during the trip. The program follows: Programme of the Fourteenth Annual Session, TransMississippi Commercial Congress, at Seattle, Aug. 18 to 21 inc. Music by the band. Invocation.

Is a street byword these days, and from the crowds that are daily in attendance at the Meadows, there is no doubt but that the injunction is carefully lived up to. The closing of the second week of the races at the Meadows leaves no doubts but that this race meet will be the best ever held in the Northwest. The races during the week just closed have been watched by hundreds of Seattle's best citizens and every one has ranked high in racing circles. There are those who are spending their vacations by watching the fine races that are to be seen at the Meadows every afternoon. They do so because they can get more amusement out of such sports than any other way. One does not necessarily have to bet on the races because he or she attends, nor do you have to visit the races to bet, for those inclined to bet will bet whether at home or at the races and for that reason no Puritanic scruples should prevent any one from attending the races if they desire to see fine horse flesh on running exhibition. Wagoner's First Regiment band is always on hand, which discourses sweet music during the racing intervals, which breaks any monotony that one might feel while waiting for the next race. The grand stand has a commanding view and those occupying seats therein get a fine view of the surrounding country, and that alone is well worth a trip to the Meadows, especially when there is a large and fashionable crowd present, as is the case every afternoon during the present race meet. The program for next week promises to be even more interesting than the week just closed and that THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Address—"Commercial Relations with the Nations of the East"—by Hon. Porter J.

Tomorrow afternoon the programs for next week will be distributed in the grand stand and to all others attending the races and throughout the city. The program for next week will also appear in the Sunday papers and the management hopes to see even a greater attendance at the Meadows next week than any previous week. Everything for the comfort of the guests is being carefully looked after and any misconduct on the part of the employes if reported to the management will be immediately investigated. The weather has been ideal for the races and if the weather man's predictions are worth anything it will be equally as good next week as the week just past and you could not spend your afternoons at a more inviting as well as entertaining resort than at the Meadows. The Harness Races. The management is desirous of calling the public's especial attention to the harness races for next week, which will be seen by consulting your program, because they will be unusually good. The man or woman that is accustomed to harness drivers are always pleased to see a stepper on the track, for that's where they live, so to speak, and that is why so many ladies who have no interest whatever in the running races are present.

Those acts have bred such a contempt for law that now it has become a common thing for men to make an excuse of almost any kind of crime, to band themselves into a mob, to satisfy a perverted or acquired desire for human blood, and three out of every four lynchings during the past few months is not for crimes against women. TERMS ARE THE LOWEST Pianos sold as low as $6.00 Per Month It is very gratifying to note that, notwithstanding the general depression in stock valuations and the incipient panic that has prevailed in Wall Street, that the general, legitimate business of the country has gone right along without a flutter. The time was, and not many years since, when a disturbance in Wall Street caused a panic all over the country. But business men have grown too wise and business too stable to be thrown off the even balance by anything so unstable and entirely fictitious as the great majority of the so-called business of Wall Street. Sherman, Clay & Co. STEINWAY DEALERS THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS The action of the saloonkeepers in Vancouver, Wash., who have been forced to regard the Sunday closing law, in banding together and forcing all other lines of business not especially exempt, to comply with the law as well, is giving the old town on the Columbia such a shaking up as it has not had for many a day. The so-called conservative element, those who desire to profit by Sunday opening, but would feel insulted to be called law-breakers, are very much enraged at what they deem a (mis) alliance of the ultra-moral and the saloon elements. The outcome is being watched with considerable interest. BREWERY It is sincerely to be hoped that the proposition put forth by the philanthropic societies of the city for a juvenile court, for the trial and government of young and first offense criminals, may materialize. The hope of the nation is in the proper rearing of the childhood of the land. Many of these, through heredity and environment or incompetent, indifferent and in some cases vicious parentage, fall easy victims to the temptation to acts of lawlessness. The aim of the state should be, while meteing to them just deserts for the crime or crimes committed, yet to use its kindly offices to win them back to the paths of right, that they may become honest useful citizens, a help and benefit to the community, instead of a burden and a curse.

The editor of the Review of Reviews takes an optimistic view of the race question that is refreshing, and at the same time advances some ideas out of the ordinary; and ideas that doubtless will not be accepted by every one. He says: "There have been a good many exhibitions of race friction of late, and these will doubtless occur from time to time in the future. Human nature will have to improve a good deal before they are totally done away with. But race conditions in the South are growing better rather than worse, and those who deny this statement are not able to see things in their true perspective. While a large proportion of the Negroes in the United States are doubtless descended from people brought from Africa as slaves prior to the legal abolition of the slave trade, early in the nineteenth century, it is true, nevertheless, that the slave trade flourished on a large scale up to the very eve of the Civil War, and that we have thousands, possibly millions, of black people here whose grandparents, or at least their great grandparents, were born as savages in the wilds of Africa. Slavery in the United States had its hard side for these people considered as a race, but it also had its great advantages as a disciplinary period. It made possible for them a life of freedom under civilized conditions. The future historian will see clearly that while African slavery in the United States was gravely detrimental to the welfare of the white race, it was, upon the whole, very advantageous to the Negroes. They have been making progress since their emancipation of which they have reason to be proud, and the outlook for them is an exceedingly bright and hopeful one. When all history-making factors of the situation are taken into account, they are to be congratulated on a present position and a future prospect almost unequaled in the history of any people, ancient or modern. For, the condition of the Negroes in the South is to be judged by what it was and what it might have been; and comparisons are to be made with the conditions and progress of Negro peoples elsewhere." Other Woods Wanted. It is becoming more and more necessary that a substitute shall be found for spruce in the paper-making industry, and it is probable that experiments will show many trees that can be profitably utilized and thus serve the double purpose of keeping the industry alive and saving the spruce from total destruction. The possibilities of straw, corn stalks, and waste from sugar cane, have not yet been exhausted, and the prevention of waste has never had sufficient attention. Spruce has so far established itself as the pulp material par excellence, that most manufacturers will hear of no other. Nevertheless poplar, cottonwood, hemlock, and even "Oldfield" pine are being used, and for the best paper a blend of other woods is used in connection with spruce. In spite of the present prejudice in favor of spruce pulp, there are signs which point toward the use of other pulps with no admixture of spruce at all. Public Value of Springs and Fountains. I am solicitous for the fresh water springs of our country, and their preservation and utilization for our comfort and pleasure. Springs over which the early Greeks would have built temples we too often allow cattle to trample into mire; and that which nature intended for a thing of beauty, a delight to the eve and the refreshment of man, becomes a nuisance. I plead with the improvement associations, and with all societies for the preservation of natural beauty, to rescue all such springs along roadsides, and to develop all latent and feeble flowing springs, and wherever possible secure the consent of farmers to allow paths to be made through their fields to them. In Germany not only is this done, but sign boards tell the traveler where they may be found and the distance to them. When reached, a simple seat is found upon which one may rest. Often a rustic shelter is built over the spring, and after such refreshing rest the traveler goes on his way "thanking God for a good spring" and with grateful remembrance of a kindly country. If American farmers will not permit paths through their fields to springs, many of them will permit the water to be piped to the roadside, where some simple yet artistic device may be placed to receive it.Jessie M. Good in The Chautauquan. A Model City at St. Louis. Even if the Louisiana Purchase Exposition should prove a complete financial failure, it would still have justified its existence by the impulse given to municipal pride and to the public beauty idea in St. Louis. President Francis believes that the exposition will be characterized, in far greater degree than has any other, by its attention to educational and uplift ideas. This uplift sentiment, crystallized in the Model City, will be one of the distinguishing features of the fair. It is hoped that this model city, as suggested and worked out by Mr. Albert Kelsey, of Philadelphia, will fitly represent the "improvement" sentiment so widespread throughout the country, and so strong in St. Louis itself. The site is one of the best on the grounds, being within a hundred yards of the main entrance and the main axis of the exhibition, which is six hundred feet wide, and directly opposite one end of the Intramural Railroad, its principal station forming the official entrance to the municipal exhibit. A town hall, municipal hospital, public bath house, railroad station, restaurant, model drugstore, etc., are among the principal units. The outdoor features will include collections of street fixtures and units in park equipment, while negotiations are at present under way for the importation of a large portion of the Dresden municipal exhibit, and is the first purely municipal exhibit ever held. This paper has had a good deal to say in condemnation of the practice of lynching Negroes for crime. In the same spirit it condemns the lynching of Wm. Hamilton, the Asotin county white brute, who assaulted and murdered a twelve-year-old girl. The crime was the vilest and most dastardly on the list of wrong doings; yet no good purpose was served by not allowing the law to take its course. On the other hand a number of persons, several hundred according to reports, are guilty of murder, whereas if they had but been reasonable the ends of justice would have been more fully, because legally, met and the crime of having taken human life would not rest upon these persons, and left them the more ready for the next act of wrong doing that may present itself. Such acts are demoralizing to all who participate, and they are never as good citizens after such an exhibition of passion as before. The taking of human life, as punishment for crime without due process of law is wrong, it is criminal. Chief Justice Brewer says it is murder, and those who participate in such crimes are liable to prosecution for murder. The unkindest cut of all to our dear sister city, Tacoma, comes in the current number of the Review of Reviews, wherein is given a comprehensive account of the work being done to harness the energy of the glacial waters of Mount Rainier—a work that is claimed by Tacoma as a local enterprise—and cause it to generate electric force of vast proportions. The unkindness to Tacoma comes in not recognizing their name for the mountain, in describing a work that is claimed by them, but in the article referred to the proper, the official geographic name, Rainier, is given to this mighty engine whose energies are to be made to subserve the use of man, without retracting one whit from the beauty and grandeur of the same. The people of this state are to be congratulated that the supreme court loks upon law as "writ" as law to be enforced. In our superior courts—superior in name—we see learned judges giving every possible advantage and the benefit of every doubt to violators of the liquor and gambling laws, throwing the burden of proof always upon the state. After viewing such rulings until the heart of the law loving moral element is made sick, it is refreshing to have the supreme court step up and render real, old fashioned, sensible and honest decisions, and call a spade a spade. As a result of this fearlessness and honesty in our supreme court, the saloons are wiped out of the town of Bremerton according to the action of the town council, the appeal taken having been decided against the appellants. Likewise the legality of the law making gambling a felony has been fearlessly maintained, and the stool pigeon of the gambling fraternity at Spokane must pay the penalty and spend a year in the penitentiary. T. Thomas Fortune Didn't Say It. A few weeks ago a report was going the rounds of the press to the effect that T. Thomas Fortune, who had been sent to the Philippine Islands with a view of finding a solution of the race question in this country, had recommended colonization of Negroes to those islands. It now appears that Mr. Fortune did not make such a recommendation, and the Southern editors who have been making such an hysterical to-do about it may take a rest. All the same such a movement would go a long ways towards solving the race question. This paper approved of the accredited suggestion and commented at some length upon it at the time. It is still in favor of it, for two reasons, at least. First, because it would inure to the benefit of those who make such a change. In those islands there is no prejudice against the black man. What race prejudice there is is against the Caucasian race. This has been proven by the experience of our soldiers sent to the islands during the past few years. The colored boys in blue have had far less indignities shown them than have the whites. The Filipinos look upon the whites with a suspicion that is not manifested towards the colored men. The favorable conditions in that country are so evident that nearly every colored soldier whose term of service expired while in the islands has chosen to remain and take his chances there. Many of them have married native women and are doing well. Laying in Seattle harbor for some days past is a government vessel manned by a Filipino crew; last Sunday evening found many of them at a colored church service, with an at home feeling that was plainly visible. The emigration of a million, more or less, of Negroes to the Philippines would relieve the congested condition that now exists in many parts of the south, and make chances for those who remain much easier than they now are, thus benefitting those who stay as well as those who go. The ruling classes in the south, notwithstanding their alleged dislike for the Negroes, are very loth to have them leave the Southland; they want to keep them there as hewers of wood and carriers of water, and to keep them down in a condition as nearly like they were as slaves as possible. The removal of a few hundred thousands of them from under their control would awaken them, and insure better treatment of those who remain. On the other hand, no better method for the civilizing and making American subjects out of the islanders could be adopted, in conjunction with what is now being done. The Negroes are an intensely loyal people, and their influence upon the natives would be that of loyalty to the stars and stripes. In short, nothing but good could come from such a move, and it is sincerely to be hoped that it will speedily come to pass, whether Mr. Fortune has the good fortune to recommend it or not. Booker T. and the Colonel. An old Florida colonel recently met Booker T. Washington, and, in a bibulous burst of confidence, said to the Negro educator: "Suh, I'm glad to meet you. Always wanted to shake your hand, suh. I think, suh, you're the greatest man in America." "Oh, no," said Mr. Washington. "You are, suh," said the colonel, and then, pugnaciously: "Who's greater?" "Well," said the founder of Tuskegee, "there's President Roosevelt." "No, suh," roared the colonel. "Not by a jugful; I used to think so, but since he invited you to dinner I think he's a blank scoundrel." Placing Responsibility . In speaking of the terrible epidemic of lynching that has seized this country, the New York Age has the following to say, in which it states as a fact that which is not generally known to be true, as to the origin of this pestilence: "It should not be lost sight of for one moment that the lynching of Negroes, and the baiting of them, which has spread all over the country, was started in the Southern states by political demagogues who could not coax nor shoot the Negro into voting the Democratic ticket, and that in their infamous efforts to maintain their grip on the Southern political machine they have corrupted the public opinion of the Nation against the whole Afro-American people. But we have the satisfaction of knowing that they have succeeded in creating a Frankenstein which they cannot control and which is already getting its clutch on the vitals of its creator and the things that he most cherishes. What devastation it will produce before gorging itself, what time it shall vanish in the dead hush of seasonless congelation, who can tell? Far from regretting that it is the creator of so fearful a monster as lynch law, the Southern newspapers, voicing the opinion of their section, rejoice in their creation. Hear them in their exultation, with the death rattle in their throats, from the Atlanta Constitution to the Cross Roads Blow-Hard! No such death dance was ever performed by the Indian savages of the far West as that being performed by the Southern newspapers over the horrible spread of the lynching disease. To claim that such people are civilized, that they are Christians, that they can be entrusted with the rights of others, that they can be trusted to direct the affairs of state, is a delusion which the Nation seems to revel in; not all of the Nation, not the thinking portion, but the rabble and demagogical element of it the lawless, the money-grabbers, the vote-hunters They are a minority of the American people. Therein is hope. 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 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.

Brown of Garfield shot T. J. Turnbow in that city last Sunday morning. The affair seemed to be unprovoked and utterly without excuse. Mob sentiment ran high, and if Turnbow had died soon after the shooting it is believed that Brown would have been lynched. Brown is held waiting the outcome, and should the victim die he will be held for murder.

Another disturbance is now on among the members of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of this city and as a result the organization under the pastorate of Rev. F. T. Walker, who recently took charge of the work, succeeding Rev. J. Gordon McPherson, has withdrawn the right hand of fellowship from Mr. McPherson. Trouble has been brewing in the church for some months, but it was thought that it had all blown over when McPherson resigned and was subsequently elected superintendent of missions for the northwest, but at a call meeting last Wednesday the old sore broke out again and now the Mt. Zion Church and Rev. McPherson are divided by a great gulf. There are not to exceed a dozen members of the church and yet they seem to always be in a peck of trouble over church affairs. There was so much trouble among the members from time to time that a split in the church occurred some months ago which resulted in the starting of a new organization, which is known as the Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. The morning paper gave the following version of Rev. Walker's explanation of having his flock withdraw the right hand of fellowship from the former pastor: "In dispensing the sunlight of his personal society the Rev. Mr. McPherson was careful to invade only the more aristocratic households connected with his church—those in which yellow-legged chickens, properly fried, adorned the dining table, and in which pie and cake and preserved fruit heightened the attractiveness of the menu. In the lowlier homes where pone and bacon are the alpha and omega of the bill of fare, save when set off in the springtime by marginal notes in boiled greens and other modest vegetables, the now discredited minister seldom, if ever, darkened the doorway. No pun is intended here. "The discontent of the Mount Zion flock grew apace and flourished like a green bay tree. The neglected great majority of the membership was not satisfied with the droppings of the sanctuary. They had read in a book of unchallenged authority that man cannot live by bread alone, and they reasoned that a church member cannot develop his religious nature upon theological tenets only. They yearned for a shepherd who would make himself at home beside the humblest vine and figtree—one who would give them a magnetic thrill when he extended the right hand of fellowship." INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL OF THE WORLD'S LITERATURE BARRED FROM THE MAILS. Some months ago there was organized in this city the International Council of the World, International Benevolent Insurance Association, with Dr. Samuel Burdett at its head, which organization is said to be in the in- SALE OF WASHING MACHINES Wayne Rotary Washing Machine The Best Made-You can Buy Them Monday for $4.89 terest of the Negro race. The local postoffice did not like the appearance of the printed matter sent out and referred the same to the department at Washington, which replies as follows: "Your communication of April 24, addressed to the first assistant postmaster general, was in due course referred to this office, but it has remained unanswered owing to the fact that the whole question of the mailability of matter relating to schemes of the character of that to which it refers has been under consideration by the postoffice department. "The pamphlet which you submit seems to be issued by the International Council of the World, of Seattle, Wash., and contains five coupons, on tickets, on each of which is the following: "Return this ticket to the International Council of the World, International Benevolent Insurance Association, No. 423 New York block, Seattle, Wash., with 25 cents, for which this company will issue to you a book of five tickets. Sell those five tickets for 5 cents each, thereby getting your 25 cents back. Each person to whom you sell a ticket send it to this office, purchasing a book of five tickets for themselves. When your five tickets have been sent to us in this way you can readily see that we will have received $1.25, and you will then be entitled to one share of stock in the International Council of the World, whose par value is $5, but which has cost you 5 cents." "It thus appears that every book of tickets costs the purchaser thereof 30 cents, and that if he fail to sell the tickets purchased, he loses that amount. For example, in order that A may receive a share of the stock offered, the par value of which is stated to be $5, he must find five other persons, viz., B, C, D, E and F, who will each purchase one of his coupons and forward the same to the council with 25 cents; and that before these five persons can each obtain a share of the stock, they also must each make sales to five other persons of the tickets which they have bought, and these latter persons must cash them in to the council. Thus, the number of persons required to continue the chain increases by multiples of five, and very soon, therefore, the limit of sales of tickets will have been reached. When sales are no longer possible, all holders of tickets must of necessity lose the whole of the amount paid for them. This feature of the scheme is, of course, concealed from the purchaser, and it is by means of this concealment and the misleading representation that he is to receive a share of stock of the value of $5 for 5 cents that he is induced to make the purchase. "It is accordingly the opinion of this office that the scheme is fraudulent upon its face, and that the matter relating to the same is unmailable under section 3894 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, as amended. The fact that this scheme seems to be designed to obtain funds in aid of a useful public object does not make it any the less illegal. "You are therefore advised to exclude from the mails all matter relating to this scheme." REV. FREEMAN'S FAREWELL. Rev. S. S. Freeman will preach his farewell sermon at the A. M. E. Church on Fourteenth avenue next Sunday evening and will make a partial report of his work at this place during the past year. The report will say that more has been accomplished at this point during the past year than in any one year in the history of the church. That the church, financially and otherwise, is in better condition than it ever was before. That church is much nearer self-sustaining than ever before. These will all be pertinent points that Rev. Freeman will read to the annual conference of his church which will convene in Spokane the 23rd of August. It does not necessarily mean that Rev. Freeman will not return to this charge because he will preach his farewell sermon, but it is customary for Methodist preachers to always close up their work at the place they are at when they leave for conference so that if sent to another place they are ready to go from conference to their new charge. Next Sunday evening the services will consist largely in reviewing the year's work by the pastor, song service by the members in the shape of anthems and solos and the collection of dollar money. Dr. J. Gordon McPherson, past department chaplain, will attend the national encampment of the Spanish-American War Veterans at San Francisco next week, while en route South and East. Rev. Wm. Hammonds will visit points in Oregon in the interest of raising funds to erect a most creditable edifice for the congregation of the Mount Moriah Baptist Church of this city, of which he is pastor. They have recently purchased a lot. The Afro-American Political Club will hold its next meeting, for the purpose of effecting a permanent organization, on Monday evening, Aug. 17th, in Union Hall, Pacific block. A. R. BLACK, President. AL. DONKING, Secretary. A large number of Seattleites attended the Baptist camp meeting at Everett this week, among them being Rev. A. J. Shepard, L. S. Smith, Mrs. Kitty Franklin. Dr. J. G. McPherson opened the meeting Sunday and delivered a sermon to several hundred white and colored people. Mr. Henry Jones, who is living on a ranch near Renton, visited the city one day this week. Mr. Jones has begun the clearing of his ranch and being close to the railroad proposes to utilize the wood by cording it and shipping it to the city, and he was making arrangements for that while here. Rev. Mathews of Franklin passed through the city last Wednesday en route to Everett, where he will assist the Baptists in their camp meeting effort, which is going on there at present. Rev. Mathews will not return to Franklin to live, but will pitch his tent in Ravensdale, where he will establish a church and preach alternately between Ravensdale and Franklin. The musicale given on Tuesday evening at Ranke's Hall was a success in many ways. A large representative gathering of citizens met to show their appreciation of the labors of Dr. J. Gordon McPherson in this city. Smith's orchestra enlivened the occasion with many choice selections. Rev. S. S. Freeman, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, paid an eloquent tribute to Dr. McPherson as a citizen and a Christian gentleman, and commended his labors in this city. Mr. Clifford C. Hancock sang a solo, "Love in a Cottage Is Best," which received an encore. Miss Barbara Davis sang "Violets." Mrs. Wm. H. Taylor, the sweet contralto soloist, sang two solos, "My All" and "Calm As the Night." Mrs. J. H. Ritter and Mrs. D. Wilbur served the refreshments. NORTHWEST NOTES. State School Superintendent Bryan has just apportioned to the various school districts of the state $389,011.92. Indications point to a very large attendance, from all parts of the West, to the trans-Mississippi Congress, which meets in this city next week. The second annual encampment of Spanish-American War Veterans was held at Charleston, Kitsap county, last week. The next encampment will be held in Seattle. State Superintendent of Schools R. B. Bryan has issued a call for the annual convention of county superintendents to be held in Olympia Monday, September 28. A contract has been let for the construction of an electric railway to connect the cities of Aberdeen and Hoquiam, on Grays Harbor. The distance is four miles. Carnivals seem to have become epidemic. From almost every city in the state come accounts of carnivals in session or to be held soon. The choosing of the guests, etc. Governor McBride has named as delegates to represent the state at the Trans-Mississippi Congress ex-Mayor W. D. Wood of this city, L. F. Martin of Fairhaven and Austin Mires of Ellensburg. Ballard expects to have added to her already numerous manufacturing industries quite an extensive carriage factory that will employ two hundred workmen. Detroit, Mich., capitalists are behind the movement. A few years ago it was feared the chinook salmon fishing in the Columbia river was about run out, but the present season's run is almost unprecedented.
