Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. X. NO. 11 POLITICAL POT=PIE “If Governor McBride is not a gone goose, politically speaking, then I am very much mistaken,” said a prominent politician from the Northwest one day this week and, who, by the way, is more or less friendly with the governor. “I am of the opinion that he will not only lose the bulk of the Northwest in the next state convention, but it begins to look as though he stands a splendid show of losing his home county, and I feel absolutely certain he will if he insists on Skagit county endorsing him for governor and further insists in it permitting him to send an anti-railroad commission delegation to the state convention and to have such men nominated for the legislative position as are pledged to vote for the railroad commission measure. If, I repeat, he insists on all those things, he will have the d——n's fight on his hands that he ever ran up against, and, in my opinion, he will lose his own county by a two to one vote. On the other hand, if he will simply ask his county to endorse him for governor and work to that end and allow it to do as it wishes on the railroad measure both in the next state convention and in the legislature, Skagit county, and, I believe, the entire Northwest will be a unit for him. From the looks of things though it would seem that “Mc.” has crossed the bridge and burned it after him, and now finds it utterly impossible to recross the stream owing to the continued down-pour since he first began to thunder, which has so badly swollen it that it will take some good swimming on his part to get back to where he first started from. It, however, is a long time before the next convention, and, perhaps, it is best for the party that as little talking as possible be done, less some worse mistake than has already been made be again made. There is one thing that can be safely said and that is, Skagit county is unqualifiedly a railroad county and her members to the next legislature, in my opinion, will vote against the governor's political hobby his persuasion and appeals to the contrary notwithstanding. No, I am not prepared to say a single word on the senatorial situation, and if I were I would not say it.” * * * There seems to be no truth whatever in the report sent out by the Walla Walla Union to the effect that Senator Ed. Hamilton had consented to act as Senator Addison G. Foster's political manager in his efforts to be re-elected. On the contrary, Senator Hamilton, according to a grapevine dispatch, has not made up his mind as yet as to whether he would himself be a candidate or take no active part in the fight, and simply be a high private in the rear ranks, ready and willing to do what he could to further Tacoma's political interest, but let the other fellows do the work. The above is by no means official, yet the Pie-maker has every reason to believe it to be correct. It is hinted that an is not milk and honey among the Tacoma political push any more so than in King county, if as much. *** Speaking about political harmony in King county, the feeling to oppose the next King county convention instructing its members to the legislature for any particular senatorial aspirant is becoming quite general. If King county hopes to elect the next United States senator, she must use some diplomacy in the matter. During the past week a number of the members of the last lower house from King county have been personally spoken to by the Pie-maker on this subject and they have invariably favored the policy of not instructing for any senatorial aspirant but waiting until the legislature assembles and then determine on the ground the candidate, and see to it that he be the man who has the outside strength to assure success. --- Speaking about the members of the last legislature from King county, it begins to look as though every one of them will be returned if they so desire and none of them thus far have either expressed or intimated any unwillingness to do so. At one time there seemed to be a little fight brewing in the forty-seventh legislative district, but it is not serious and it is surmised from the present outlook that Jones and Lewis will be returned if they desire to do so though there might be a fight made on them owing to the fact that they made themselves very obnoxious to a large majority of the voters of King county in their anti-rail- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1903 road crusade during the last session. Jones lost his usefulness completely before the session was over and Lewis was not very far behind him, and would have been as complete a blank as was Jones had he not sprung the anti-gambling bill, which proved to be a very popular measure, the passage of which saved him from leaving Olympia a complete political wreck. * * * "I feel absolutely certain," said a prominent state politician one day this week, "that Governor McBride and Senator George Turner, who have been close personal friends ever since they have known each other, thoroughly understand each other in the political fight that they are now making in this state. For if they did not what was the excuse for the governor putting his party in the hole, so to speak, at a time when he should have been taking the lead for political harmony. Governor McBride would have had no opposition for the gubernatorial nomination had he not sprung the railroad commission measure when he did and he, in my opinion, had no other object in the world for springing that measure save and except to give Turner and himself an opportunity to become complete masters of the political situation in this state, which would either land McBride or Turner in the United States Senate. Their plans worked like a charm in the last Republican state convention, but failed when the legislature met and now they are to move heaven and earth to have it work at the next Republican state convention and nominate McBride for governor and if the scheme works that much they will hold themselves in line to handle the legislature with a view of electing either one or the other to the United States senate. In case the governor fails in the next state convention, then, in my opinion, he will bolt the Republican nominees and attempt to do at the polls what he failed to do at the state convention. Turner, you see, keeps the Democratic party well in hand, so that he will be in perfect party readiness to render his friend McBride any political assistance the emergency might demand. *** The hot weather for the past week seems to have produced a rather "don't give a damn" feeling among the politicians, both state and otherwise, and, using the vernacular of the street, "nothing's doing" just now. Governor McBride spent a few days in Seattle attending the Trans-Mississippi Congress, and incidentally trying to do some politics, but as Seattle is a place where McBrideism is not much in demand, he found it rather an uphill job. Senator Hamilton is too busy, owing to the dangerous illness of his business partner, looking after his business affairs, to talk or even tihnk about politics. Cushman is said to be at Lake Cushman, where he is chinning those who happen to come his way, but he is practically idle these hot summer days. Congressman Humphrey returned from Alaska last Wednesday, and was too highly elated over his trip to give the Pie-maker a single consideration, but promised to talk things over in the near future. Judge John E. Humphries, one of King County's gubernatorial aspirants, laconically says as you pass him by, "all is well and they can't beat me." Senator J. J. Smith is out camping and has lost himself from the public, so to speak, that he might get a few weeks' rest from political worries. Sam Piles is just recuperating from a long siege of sickness, and has a barrel of work on his desk to be done before he can give Mr. Politician a single spare moment. Senator John L. Wilson has been exceedingly busy during the week entertaining the delegates to the Congress, many of whom he is personally acquainted with, and for the past ten days he has completely cut politics out. **** It is unofficially announced by the Chehalis county papers that Hon. Geo. H. Emerson, of that county, will be a candidate for the nomination for governor; or, more properly speaking, they are suggesting him as a suitable and strong candidate for the place. The suggestion is a good one, and if Mr. Emerson concludes to enter the lists, he will give all competitors a run for their money that will be interesting to the spectators. Geo. H. Emerson is a well known and successful business man of the southwestern part of the state, but he always finds time to take a lively interest in political matters, and his familiar face and wise councils have been prominent at all state conventions for some years past. In the days of the old "southwest combine," Geo. H. Emerson was a prime factor in the holding together and in dictating LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS the action of that powerful combination, that was able to dictate the policy of the party in the state so long as they remained an organized entity. The Hoquiam Washingtonian, published in Mr. Emerson's home city, has the following to say about his possible candidacy: "If Mr. Emerson has his business in such shape that he can afford to leave it, and will consent to make the race, there is little doubt of his nomination and none of his election. As a man of great executive ability, excellent judgment and broad and liberal views, Mr. Emerson is not surpassed by any of the candidates proposed. His election as governor of this state would mean four years of clean, economical administration." That announcer of candidates, the Seattle Republican, last week publishes some interesting stories of future "line-ups" for various politicians. While no one vouches for the correctness of these predictions, many of them are probably very good guesses. Editor Cayton is, to all appearances, a free lance in the political arena, and disinterested enough to tell the truth. Many of the other papers, and especially the large dailies, have so many axes to grind that they are afraid to say anything. The Republican thinks Geo, U. Piper and his followers are to make the fight in King county for Gov. McBride. Mr. Piper was supposed to be "with" the Governor last winter in Olympia as he was supposed to be with the gamblers, and that is a fair sign the line-up is to be the same next year. Since Piper's quarrel with the railroads he will be against them unless the difficulty is patched up, which is unlikely. Under these conditions it is very probable that Geo. U. Piper, Gov. McBride, J. Howard Watson, Stanton Warburton, one Paulherons, of Puyallup, and others, will all be in the same boat and will use the anti-railroad cry as their watchword. This same coterie of politicians have been doing business in the state for many years, and up to 1901 were with the railroads. It is, therefore, difficult to see what has caused the change in front unless it is to hold up the railroads for the benefit of a few politicians. Piper had the fight for Humes for senator in 1889, and that campaign to say the least was a failure. In the last campaign he was a handicap to King county. We do not see why our political interests should be turned over to him in any coming campaign. Gov. McBride was clearly against King county last winter. Whatever may be said about his alleged friendship for Harold Preston, that friendship was fatal to Mr. Preston. If King county does anything for McBride she will rue the day she does. Let us predict the coming line-up. It is a conglomeration of different partisans, soreheads, Democrats and Republicans, who will be in the combination to further certain private schemes, personal interests and to get control of various political machinery. The combination is this: Geo, McBride and Geo. Turner; A. J. Blethen and Geo. U. Piper; the Hart Brothers, Walter Fulton, the Clancy's—these and their numerous followers. They will work the primaries of both parties. Blethen wants to wreck the Republican party. Gov. McBride wants to rule it, or if he can't do that he will join with Blethen to ruin the party's present standing. Turner thinks this might land him in the senate again. Piper wants to pull the wires. The other fellows all have an ax to grind. Listen to the advice, or bend to the will of any of these men and we will have good men "knifed" at the polls, as Frink was "knifed" by many of these same men. We will have difficulty on uniting on any policy that will benefit Seattle—we will have a combination of chaotic strife. We hope King county will do something before next election. Fremont Colleague. --- The colored citizens of this city, after several attempts, have succeeded in organizing a political club with A. R. Black as president, B. T. Tutt as vice-president, W. H. Duncan, secretary; C. A. Kent, corresponding secretary, and Dr. T. J. Wright, sargent-atarms. The name selected is the Roosevelt Invincibles. The object of the organization does not seem to be so much for partisan politics as to try and force fuller recognition of the Negroes, politically, and the general advancement of the race. *** 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.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. clearly evident that on the shores of this Puget Sound there is room, commercially speaking, for several large flourishing cities and innumerable towns and villages. The resources of the state, and that which must come to us from the East and the West, by virtue of our location, at the gateway to the Orient, where sail meets rail, are of such stupendous proportions that it would be a physical and geographical impossibility that one locality should be able to handle the business, even if that were desirable, which indeed it is not. So while the Seattle spirit does, and will predominate on the shores of Elliott Bay, yet Seattle expects and desires to see the other cities of the Sound progress, advance and develop likewise; and while we preach the Seattle spirit, and do all we may for the advancement of this city, it is not in a spirit of strife, other than friendly, toward any other city, but with an earnest desire that they too, may prosper and become mighty. And to Tacoma, Olympia, Ballard, Everett, Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Anacortes, Whatcom, Fairhaven and other cities yet to rise from the mists of opportunity, Seattle extends the glad hand, with a hearty, Here's for Greater Washington. In the making of Greater Seattle, which is the embodyment of the Seattle spirit, and the keeping it to be the leading one of the future great cities of the Puget Sound country, does not imply imperialism, so called, hence it is not necessary to annex all the territory adpoining. Seattle already has within its boundaries sufficient territory for the making of a city of 1,000,000 population. This city would gain in population, wealth and in manufactured output if its present suburbs were annexed. This would of course be a benefit, but they are not needed, immediately, for the work- west Iron and Steel like advantage of local opportunities which are second to none, for the output which now has to be transported across the continent, at a tremendous exper The Northwest Iron and Steel Company Which has been organized to take advantage of local opportunities which are second to none, for the output of the large amount of iron and steel annually consumed on this coast, and which now has to be transported across the continent, at a tremendous expense.

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 congratulation to the Citizens of Seattle, which city will reap the great benefit to come from such an industry.

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. 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. As it already has an extensive plant in operation which it proposed to enlarge.

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.

THE SEATTLE SPIRIT In opening a department in this paper, of what we are pleased to term the "Seattle Spirit," it is well first to define what is meant by this expression that is known and recognized all over the country as a distinct characteristic of this city: It is simply a local designation, in the language of the realm, of that spirit of enterprise, push and get-there-a-tive-ness that has pervaded this whole Northwest coast since it was linked, by bands of steel, to the older, the Eastern, portion of our common heritage; and since the flower of the homes of that Eastern land, the brightest and best of its sons and daughters, followed the advice of Horace Greeley and sought the shores of the sundown sea, by whose placid waters, to win for themselves fame and fortune. It is therefore not a distinct Seattle characteristic. That Seattle has it in a larger measure than other localities and has personified it, and nailed it at the masthead of its ambition, is due to a fortunate combination of circumstances. That this spirit of ambition, unity, aggressiveness, and determination that never acknowledges defeat, has served the community well in the past, is plainly visible on every hand, and this past success is sufficient apology for its continued use as a rallying shibboleth. \* \* \* The time has come in the history of the Northwest, when the spirit of rivalry, that has been so painfully manifested between the various cities and towns that have sprung into being, should cease. If there ever was any excuse for it, it is surely fast now. It is ```markdown ``` * * * ing out of the future destiny of the Queen City. Commercially speaking, they are now as much a part of Seattle as though they were of the same municipality, and the desire for their annexation is more a sentiment that a real need. Time will bring them in and Seattle can afford to wait. \* \* \* The future of Seattle is not dependent upon any one thing. Its claims for present and future greatness are because of varied resources and opportunities, but in looking over the field for further advancement, three things stand out as the greatest needs for the future. While Seattle has many manufactories of various kinds, yet the opportunity, in the way of location, power, raw materials and market, are such that we place as the first great need, more manufactories, the second ditto, and the third more of the ditto. There is no part of the country where the requirements for successful manufacturing enterprise combine more closely and can be gotten together more cheaply than on the shores of the Puget Sound. And Seattle, the chief entrepos of this great inland sea is the place par excellence for manufacturing plants of all kinds. If the Seattle spirit will address itself assiduously to the concentration, within its commercial environs, these guarantees of permanency all other essentials will follow as a natural consequence. \* \* \* Some of our heavy taxpayers think that the board of equalization have exhibited too much of the Seattle spirit by stepping in and raising their assessments a little nearer to what they ought to be, than as returned by the deputies who listed the same. It seemed to be an easy thing for certain property owners and business Don’t Miss the Races This Week houses to convince the deputies that they possessed very little property and that of small value, but the city members of the board of equalization evidently have something up their sleeve. It is quite important just now that the property valuation be as high as possible, and that desire coupled wih a recognition of the fact that all property should bear its just burden of taxation, is interfering with the rest of certain poor capitalists. It seems useless to theorize or moralize on the matter of taxation, but how much better it would be if the valuations, all along the line, could be doubled; when, as there is only so much to be raised, the levy could be cut in two; so when asked as to amount of the tax levy it could be said nineteen mills, instead of thirty-eight, as now. What a different ef- fect it would have upon prospective investors, An application of the true Seattle spirit would demand that this be done, As there can be no objection to such a change why is it not done?

This means that the races begin earlier, and as soon as you get off from your work you can leave for the track, and by the time you get there the fun has quite begun, and you can spend the whole afternoon on the grounds sight seeing. There are never less than five good races every af- ternoon, and during this hot weather you can find no more comfortable spot on the Sound than at the Mead- ows, and from the grand stand every inch of the track is in plain view, hence each of those races can be fully appreciated and enjoyed by you. The harness races are always enjoyed by the lov- ers of fast stepping horse flesh. and some of the fastest steppers in the West are daily trotters at the Meadows, Those inclined to bet on a first class horse race can certainly do so to their heart’s content, for no race course in the West ever exibited a finer or faster lot of racers than are now at the Meadows, which take a conspicuous part in each day’s running races.

Go where you will, and when it pleases you, and you will not be molest- ed.” That was certainly an original and hearty way of putting it, and quite characteristic. race horse is always the thing of beauty and admira- tion by a great majority of the people, and no wonder fortunes are won and lost on them, It always has been and it always will be. Before closing a word to the ladies would not be out of order, You are admitted free every afternoon. This is done because of the fact that you have shown such a marked appreciation of the races this year. And so again the management of the Meadows takes this opportunity to extend a cordial invitation to all the ladies of Seattle to visit the races during the com- ing week without price or cost. The coming week will see the end of the summer, races. The last of the present series will be pulled off Saturday, August 29th, and during the coming week extra efforts will be made to give the patronizing pub- lic the best that can be had. It certainly will be worth your while if you are in anywise interested in harness and running races to visit the Meadows every after- noon of next week and see for yourself. Every person who has attended the races thus far can but admit that Manager Van De Vanter has given you your full money's worth by pulling off races that are as good as at many of the more noted race courses of the East and admitting that fact in future you will be all the more ready and willing to give the Meadows a more liberal patronage than in the past. Some of the striking features of the Ringling Bros. circus parade on Wednesday were, twenty-seven ele- phants, sixteen or eighteen camels and dromidaries, twenty-four Shetland ponies harnessed to one wagon —a twenty-four horse team—a cornet band on horse- back, These, beside the ordinary features, combined to make one of the most imposing circus parades ever witnessed in this city, It is going the rounds of the quid nuncs of the city that Chief Sullivan got jobbed in that now famous Washington Hotel bar robbery, and instead of real robbers turning the trick it was either done by or at the instigation of one certain detective who wished to injure Sullivan that he himself might profit thereby. It is also hinted that one certain detective is largely responsible for the awful criminal condition of this city and for the express purpose of throwing odium on Chief Sullivan that he might profit thereby. The first thing you know, Mr, Smart Man, somebody else besides yourself is going to get busy. The Seattle Spirit as Others View It. Western Investments in a complimentary vein says: The splendid hustle that has made Seattle famous is what is known up and down this Coast as the Seat- tle spirit. For the information of our readers who may not understand the term, we explain that the Seattle spirit is simply tabloid enthusiasm of the very highest potency, It is concentrated hustle, It is amal- gamated energy, It is the most extraordinary, exam- ple of the quick and correct appreciation of opportun- ity, together with instant grasping of same, and using it in a sensible business-like manner to its very fullest measure, that has been shown by any city that we know of, We could name example after example of this; e. g., as the Moran ship-building case, mentioned in our July issue of two years ago, in which, when it was un- derstood that the Morans could not compete with East- ern yards in building a battleship, unless they were willing to lose just about $100,000; the citizens in five days, subscribed the $100,000, so that Seattle might not lose the honor of building for Uncle Sam. And this goes on right along, and Seattle forges to the front, and will continue to do so; and it will not be the slight- est surprise to us if Seattle completely outstrips every rival and becomes the greatest seaport on the Pacific Coast.

Well, it may be true, undoubtedly is, that contact with the family cat and the wife's poodle dog brings out a different side to the ordinary man than he shows to the world. This brings up the thought that it is quite likely some men would not like to have the outside world take its estimate of them from the viewpoint of their wives and children. Moore Investment Co.

It certainly looks unjust. In the case of a bicyclist, if he has a license in his home town, it permits him to ride anywhere in the state, and it would seem to be only common sense law that a hunter's license should also be good anywhere in the state.

He would pick pockets if he had enough of the elements of manhood to be nervy, and chicken stealing is his long suit.

STEINWAY DEALERS THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS If King county senatorial aspirants will only get wise and not demand endorsement by the county convention or instruction to legislative candidates, they will thereby eliminate a very annoying condition from the county campaign. The practice during the past few years, of bringing out a senatorial candidate in advance of the precinct primaries and making him an issue at a place where it "cuts no ice" has been a grievous annoyance, and a serious handicap in accomplishing the best results from such primaries, and hence in the county convention. It is sincerely to be hoped they will "cut it out" from the low grounds and fight it out on the higher levels, where it belongs. CHEESE The coroner's jury at the inquest over the body of sailor Tierney, who was killed by Patrolman Searing in self defense, very properly returned a verdict exhonorating the policeman, but failed to fix the responsibility, which must lie very near to the doors of those who were violating two statutes at once. One closing saloons before four o'clock in the morning, and the other, which if obeyed would close every saloon on Sunday. This man was in a saloon in a drunken stupor, at four o'clock on Sunday morning; he resisted an officer, who simply desired him to move on, and lost his lfie.

BRIEF REVIEW OF PASSING EVENTS It is such an unusual thing for officers of the law to do the things for which they were elected—in some parts of the country—that the spectacle of a man departing from the well-beaten path of failing to see or to prosecute violations of the law, and possessed of the real old-fashioned notions that laws were made to be enforced, then to get in and enforce them, has brought Public Prosecutor Folk, of Missouri, into the lime light of publicity in an unusual degree. All hail to the man who has the courage to regard his oath of office as binding, but what a parody on common honesty, that when one does only as he should do, that he is thus differentiated from his fellows. As no one is entitled to especial credit for doing only his duty, all this praise for Mr. Folk is in a measure unmerited, except as it appears in contrast to the usual order of refusing or neglecting to do the duty assigned. Folk is not so much entitled to praise as others are to condemnation and impeachment. An Interesting Hobbvist. It is seldom a man in public or private life, given to much speech-making, but who will almost of necessity repeat more or less. A noted exception to this rule is one now in high position in this country. A man who is, or has not been regarded as an orator. A man not particularly eloquent, but who in a true sense of the word is an orator, in that he does not repeat, and that whenever he speaks says something of value, something worthy of lingering over, to study and to think about. We refer to President Roosevelt. A careful following of his late tour of the country proved the assertion above made, and each subsequent public address simply confirms it. He, however, has his hobby and it is clearly evident; yet it is always clothed in new verbiage, and old truths and ideas are presented in an attractive way. His hobby is good citizenship; an honest purpose in life and an honorable effort to attain that purpose. In an address last Sunday upon his pet subject, he dwelt upon honesty as one of the chief requisites of good citizenship. As a part of the elements of honesty he laid stress upon decency in private life and cleanliness of word and conduct. This is a broad construction for the term; but who will say the idea it implies is not the true one. No man can be truly honest with his fellow-man or his God, unless he is first honest with himself and decent in his private life, and it is not a far reach to say that in order to be honest with himself, his God and to his fellow-man he must be clean and chaste in word and deed. The people of this day, many of them, will do well to garner up these words that are falling from our President's lips and order their lives in accordance with them. Mob Question at Chautauqua. An encouraging sign of the times is the fact that at that great educational center, Chatauqua, N. Y., the subject, "The Mob Spirit in America," has recently been under discussion. While widely different opinions have been expressed and it is seen that some of our brightest minds differ as to the methods to be pursued to eradicate the acknowledged evil, yet the discussion cannot but result in good, and out of it and the general discussion that is sure to follow, it is hoped will be evolved a remedy and an application of the same that will remove the curse from our fair land. Admitting that mob rule and lynching is not the proper way to deal with criminals, atrocious though their crimes may be, there are those who advocate a special statute for the trial of certain criminals, thus eliminating the only excuse a mob can offer for its murderous acts, i. e., to have the law, as applied to certain cases permit of an immediate trial and if accused is found guilty, that he be executed without useless delay. Let the punishment be swift, but according to law. The suggestion is certainly not without merit, but there is high authority which takes exactly the opposite view. While everyone will not agree with D. M. Parry, President of the National Association of Manufacturers, in his remarks at Chautauqua the other day, where the "mob spirit in America" was under consideration, they certainly find food for thought in his words and while this is a new side to the mob question, who can honestly say there is not much truth in what he says: Parry spoke on "The Mob Spirit of Organized Labor." He said: "In this country in the last year there have been many mobs of different kinds, but to my mind the most dangerous of them all is the mob of organized labor. No man can object to any association organized for lawful and beneficial purposes. But organized labor, as it is conducted today, stands convicted by its own leaders as a lawless organization, in that it seeks by physical force to override individual rights in its continual railing against laws and denouncing of courts and public officials for enforcing these laws it fulfills all the requirements of the definition of mobocracy." A Palpable Straddle. The Tacoma Ledger, possibly without intending to do so, stands as an apologist for lynching. In an effort to show that lynching and anarchy are not analogous terms, it says: "Anarchy is the absence of all law; the rule of the individual. Lynching is not the absence of the law, but an expression of the sentiment out of which, properly directed, there grows respect for the law, and, indeed, the law itself." Lynching is so near to what is defined as anarchy that it is an unnecessary splitting of hairs to try to define the difference. Lynching is not "an expression of a sentiment," etc., but the defying of law which, instead of creating a respect for the same, fosters a disrespect, even contempt for law that bodes no good to the community. This is clearly evidenced in the rapid increase of the mania during the past few years. The Ledger man, however, says some good things in connection with the above for which we give him due credit. In reality he contradicts his first statement. Continuing, he says: "In a moment of rage a community believes that it is entitled to enforce the judgments that in due time would be enforced in a proper and seemly fashion. It believes that an individual deserves to be killed and it kills him. This is a grievous error. It is bad judgment. It is not anarchy. It is a sense of justice struggling for a method to make clear its desires and its purposes. It is blinded by rage, and misled by its ignorance. The effect of its endeavor is contrary to that hoped for. The law, as made by duly constituted authorities, is flouted; the courts as devised for the administration of the law, are brought into contempt. There is no good accomplished; there is much evil done. The public mind becomes perverted. False ideals are set up. Yet the mob, composed of citizens ordinarily orderly and decent, does not intend to do a wrong or, doing a wrong, holds for the moment that the end justifies the means." The apology for lynching is found in the last sentence of the above as well as in the first quoted portion of the article and in view of what has gone before and what follows, the exact views of the writer are difficult to determine. In conclusion, he says: "The way to stop lynching includes quick and fair operation of the courts; decisive methods of meeting the rabble with shotted guns; education of the criminal element to the fact that it will be legally punished. This lesson would check the criminal as well as the impetuous person who now essays to relieve the courts of responsibility. The anarchist is avowedly a public enemy. The lyncher is a public enemy without knowing it. The difference is vital enough to be taken into consideration." No Inter-Race Caste. Some one seems to have been indulging in an overdose of ice-water, and in consequence a color line pipe dream floated out from his snooze arbor. Some festive reporter looking for a "scoop," scooped it all in and reeled off a filler to the effect that a "color line" was being drawn in an unlooked for quarter. The story is that the people of color are to be divided into classes or casts according to color, i. e., the nearly whites, octoroons, mulattoes, etc., while to a limited extent, in some of the Southern cities, this is no new thing, there being those having the doubtful advantage of being nearly white, who separate themselves into a self-constituted "400" class, yet in a general way such a thing is impossible from the very nature of things. Such a class distinction is entirely incompatible with the Negro disposition. There is probably no race of people in which loyalty is so keen and so marked a feature as in the Afro-Americans. Paul Laurence Dunbar, one of the ablest writers and poets of the race, on this point says: "No matter if a man or woman has but one drop of colored blood out of ten from white sources, it is only in the rarest cases that an effort is made to disguise the race connection. At the congresses of Afro-Americans there are to be found men and women with hair, complexion of pearly whiteness, features absolutely free from any indication of their race, who throw themselves with keenest fervor into the problems of their people, with no thought of escape from the handicap the acknowledgment of race may bring them. No people ever had so few disloyal members. Whether the individual Negro gains knowledge or money, position or skill, his first thought is how may I help my people? Paul Laurence Dunbar is no exception to this rule. Standing as he does with a reputation gained as a man and a genius, not as a representative of a race, he has no disposition to seek the white associations which are gladly open to him. His own people supply him with refined and cultivated society and their world is his world. [Name not visible in the image] JAMES P. BALL, SR. Well known photographer and Master Mason, goes to Honolulu to set up Masonic lodges among the natives. These things being true, the talk of any complications in the race question because of inter-race class distinction is not only foolish, but absolutely vicious, and is suggested for no good purpose. The only class distinction among the colored folk is, and will be, as with the white race, and that is educational, moral and religious. Our Increasing Trade. Recent developments with reference to additional facilities for trade with China lend interest to some figures showing the growth of our commerce with that country, presented by the department of commerce and labor through its bureau of statistics. Exports to China in the fiscal year 1903 aggregate about $19,000,000, against less than $4,000,000 in 1893. The total value of our exports to China in 1903 exceed those of any other year except 1902, when they were above the normal by reason of the light exports to that country in 1901, in which year importations were greatly interfered with by existing hostilities in the east. Comparing this growth with that of our commerce with other parts of the world, it may be said that our total exports to Europe in 1903 aggregate a little over $1,000,000,000, against 662,000,000 in 1893, having therefore increased less than 60 per cent, during that period. Those to Asia in 1903 aggregate about $60,000,000, against $16,000,000 in 1893, an increase of 275 per cent. To Oceania the total for the year is about $36,000,000, against $11,000,000 in 1893; but this does not account for the commerce with the Hawaiian islands, which is considered as a part of the domestic commerce of the United States and separately stated. It is apparent from these figures that the growth in our exports to Asia has been more rapid than to any other section of the world except Africa, and the growth in the exports to China has been a very important factor in the growth of shipments to Asia.—Harper's Weekly. Nebraska Republicans in convention on Tuesday nominated a state ticket and endorsed John L. Webster of Omaha as the state's choice for the vice-presidential nomination. In their platform they endorsed President Roosevelt and the general principals of the national party, including protection, a larger navy and an American merchant marine. With reference to the Philippine islands, they speak in ringing tones, as follows: The Philippines are ours as the legitimate and crowning result of honorable warfare, and we hold them not for barter or sale, but as a part of the national domain made sacred to us by the American blood which has been shed to plant and maintain the Stars and Stripes upon the far-off aisles of the Pacific ocean. Under the administrations of the Republican presidents, McKinley and Roosevelt, the people of the islands have received the benefit of American laws; their burdens are being lightened; their hearts are being gladdened; their homes are being brightened and their children are being dedicated to a wider and purer civilization, and we shall ever guard and protect them as an inheritance as sacred to us as are the principles of liberty and government." During July there were twenty days without rain five days with only a trace of rain. On six days there was rain with an average precipitation of 1.28 inches. The number of clear days was twelve, partly cloudy, twelve, and cloudy days, seven. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF KING County, State of Washington.

Miss Myrtle Warmick has returned to Seattle after a pleasant stay in our city visiting with old friends, and was much pleased wtih her stay. ‘Mr. Sandy Cafney has returned from North Carolina, whither he went to visit with old friends, and announces that the West suits him mighty well. Mrs. Alice Breckenridge, formerly of this city but now of Spokane, has been visiting with her aunty, Mrs. Cora Teel, for the past week. She still has a good word for Roslyn. Ed Sherman of Tacoma was doing business in our town the 15th inst. He was represeting a mining company at Tacoma, Mr. Sherman is well known among the colored miners of this section and has many friends. GOES TO HONOLULU. Mr. James P. Ball, Sr., left last Wednesday for Honolulu, where he will join his son and family, who left for that place last winter, and who are now reported as doing exceeding- ly well. Though in his seventy-sey- enth year, yet Mr. Ball is still ambi- tious and full of life and vim, and goes to the islands at the solicitation of his son to set up a number of Masonic lodges among the natives. Mr, Ball was the pioneer Negro photo- grapher of this country, having start- ed in business in Cincinnati in the “forties.” He is perhaps one of the best informed men in this country at present, having taken an active part in the anti-slavery movement, and was thereby thrown in contact with all of the anti-slave agitators. He crossed the Atlantic ocean three times in the interest of the cause and was widely known in England as well as in Amer- ica at the time. He expects to re- turn to’ the states within the next five or six months to complete some lodge business which he already has under headway. Quite a number of the Franklin and Newcastle miners took in the circus this week, owing to the fact that the mines were shut down at that oppor. tune time. Congressman Humphrey and party, consisting of Brother O, D, Humphrey, State Senator Harper, Robert Ball and R. L, Fox, returned from a brief busi- ness and pleasure trip to Alaska on ‘Wednesday, State Senator A, J. Splawn, president of the State Fair association, has been in this city ‘for several days in the interest of the cominig state fair at Yakima in September. He is very en- thusiastic about it and predicts a suc- cessful exhibition, the leading feature of which this year will be cattle. Conditions around headquarters of the Seattle Electric company em: ployes’ union have been feverish dur- ing the week, There was grave dan- ger for a time that another strike would be ordered, but at the last mo- ment Mr. Furth consented, after be- ing importuned by the mayor and some members of the council, to sub- mit the differences to arbitration, which will be done as soon as Mr. Furth returns from a ten days’ trip to Yellowstone Park. But a few years ago and a colored man as stewart of a hotel or club in this city was out of the question, but things gradually change, and now there are four colored stewards in the city—John T. Gayton of the Rainier club, James S. Murray of the Jewish club, Pete A, DeBoe of the Firloche club and Mr. Reams of the Golf clulb, all of whom are doing well and are generally liked by their employers. Next Monday morning the carnival, by the Woodmen of the World, will be opened at what is now known as the carnival grounds, Third ayenue and Union street. It is only two weeks since the labor carnival came to a close, but that was so successful that the W. 0, W., which by the way is one of the very best fraternal insur. ance societies in existence, concluded to continue or hold another. Prepara tions are about completed and the in- dications are for a profitable and pleasant two weeks’ amusement. The American people have to be amused and entertained, and with money in plenty and good weather the highest dreams of the originators of the carni- val, which is Camp No. 1 of this city, are likely to be realized. Outside of the vast number who will attend for the purely amusement feature, there are doubtless many who will drop a ten cent piece and a section of time for the encouragement and good of the order, ‘The fire last Wednesday night which destroyed Mullen & Co’s livery barn, burning five horses to death, was a most sickening sight to the hundreds who saw the animals burned to death. ‘The circus took not less than $40, 000 out of the city, yet business houses have been complaining of dull times. Just why the citizens will ‘give up their good money to such fakes and scoundrels is the perplexing question. Editor John H. Ryan, of the Tacoma Forum, was doing business in the city this week. The Forum, though in its infancy, is making a nice showing and bids fair to be quite a success. It, however, seems married to Tacoma and Tacoma, you know, is a dead one, Dr. J. J. Smith, state senator from the thirtieth senatorial district, spent Jast Thursday in the city. Though ‘camping in the jungles, the foo choo of the circus caliope brought him around to take in the show. “Some- thing should be done by the business men of Seattle to get a closer busi- ness relation with Seattle, for an ex- ample, one can get to Tacoma from Enumclaw and get back home the same day, and yet spend five hours in Tacoma, while the same trip to Seat- tle only allows the Passenger two hours in Seattle. The proposed elec- tric line to Enumclaw would remedy the evil, Chief Sullivan, if given an opportu: nity, will clean out the thieves and thugs in this city. For months, how- ever, he has been handicapped by hay- ing to contend with enemies from within as well as from without. That is to say some of the men he sent out to head off the thieves seem to have sent the thieves word which way they were coming, and for them to go an- other way.
