Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT=PIE Municipal politics, so far as Seattleites are concerned, is being quietly talked just now, and the average citizen is showing some concern as to who will be the next mayor of Seattle, and what will be the policy of his administration. Since W. D. Wood left the mayoralty of this city the town has been run on the "wide open" policy, and though such a policy has brought a great deal of money to the city in the shape of commercial trade, yet it has in turn brought so much crime along with it that even those who have been benefitted the most from the wide open policy are now wondering, if it is not time to call a halt in that direction. If it is, then the question most pertinent to those suggesting such a move, can it be done and yet re-elect the present mayor. Such may be done, but it is not the belief nor consensus of opinion of those who have given the subject any attention or consideration. Mayor Humes says he is not a candidate for re-nomination and election, but he has said the same thing for the past five years or more. He is never a candidate, and yet he is always a candidate, and, owing to the disposition of a large number of the up-town citizens to join hands with the tenderloin gang to maintain an open town for the purpose of making trade more lively, using their own remarks, he has managed to succeed himself in spite of bitter opposition. Mayor Humes has been interviewed very recently on the subject and to a man who will be a candidate for mayor if he is not, and perhaps if he is, he bruskly declared: "I am not a candidate for mayor and will not be," which means that Republicans of this city will have to look out for other mayoralty timber besides "old Curly Locks." To the present writing no one save Hon. Ellis Morrison has made any move whatever toward getting the next mayoralty nomination and he has made no move except to merely announce to a few personal friends that he would like the nomination, if the Republicans felt inclined to give it to him, and he thought they did, providing Mayor Humes was not a candidate. Neither Mr. Morrison nor his closest personal friends have said anything whatever touching his policy in case he was nominated and elected, but from the course he has pursued since he has been a member of the city council it is surmised that if he is ever mayor he will pursue a liberal course, not too stringent and yet not too lax. The question of a wide open policy, however, will cut no great amount of ice in the future, inasmuch as the state law making gambling a felony has stood the test of the courts, and a wide-open policy don't mean much. Of course there are other vices common to a metropolitan city like Seattle, but they do not play so conspicuous a part as did gambling, and so the old time sports are not interested whether the next mayoralty policy be a wide open or a liberal one. No longer will the bloody First ward furnish the sinews of war to keep the town open for thugs, murderers and thieves, and, if reports be true, the Clancies will actually fight the re-nomination of Tom Humes if he decides to be a candidate. Mr. Humes and his policy can no longer be of any interest to them, and personally they have no use for the man, remembering as they do how Humes permitted George Piper to be slaughtered last fall for state senator. It is hardly possible that Mr. Morrison will be the only candidate seeking the nomination for moyar on the Republican ticket, because the job pays $3,000 per annum, with a number perquisites, emoluments and all-round pick-ups. Representative Lewis has been spoken of in connection with the nomination, but a friend of his who has talked with him on the subject announces that Mr. Lewis most emphatically refuses to allow the use of his name in that connection, and adds: "Mr. Lewis not only does not want the nomination for mayor, but he would not have the office if absolutely given to him. He does not believe that it would help him along in the political get up and go long, and therefore he refuses to be tied up to a dead one, for he hopes to be both governor of the state and United States senator before he is twenty years older. With Lewis out of the consideration the field is still clear for the Morrison boom, and it is beginning to collect quite a bit of floating material, which if not bursted up in a very short time, will sweep everything before it. VOL. X. NO. 12 --- --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1903 Speaking about Ellis Morrison in connection with the mayoralty it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that he is quite popular in the city and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that he will put up a hard fight even if he has to oppose Tom Humes. To begin with, he would start out with a solid Fifth ward behind him, and if the Clancies fight Humes it is fair to presume that they would be for Morrison and with the Fifth and First ward delegations as a basis to operate on for trading purposes both in the municipal convention and the coming county convention, there is no doubt but that he will be a powerful factor in the next primary battle. That Morrison is not particularly anxious to cross swords with Mr. Humes goes without saying., but if he can hold the First and Fifth wards for trading purposes the Pie-maker is of the opinion that he will be able to defeat even Tom Humes in the next Republican municipal convention. Speaking about the policy of the next administration reminds the Pie-maker that Chief Sullivan has been pretty severely criticised for not driving out the criminals that infest the city, and, perhaps, the criticisms are not without some foundation, owing to the fact that the chief seems to have men among his officers that are willing to stoop to most any mean and contemptable thing in order to see him loose his official head, but if one will stop and give the whole matter the proper consideration, it will be readily seen that a chief of the police in Seattle is nothing more or less than an instrument in the hands of the mayor. The mayor maps out the policy that the chief is to pursue, and the chief must live religiously up to it or the mayor will find a chief of the police that will do so. If Sullivan allowed gambling and other vices to run contrary to law he did so because the mayor informed him that he must do so or he would lose his official head. The Pie-maker is of the opinion that Chief Sullivan, if given the entire control of the criminal element in this city, would soon drive every mother son of them from town, and he would be able to accomplish this because he would first close up all places that are run contrary to law and thus shut off the thing that attracts the criminals from all over the country to Seattle. This, however, has been Mayor Humes' strong card in the game of politics since he has been mayor and Sullivan nor no other chief of the police did not dare to interfere with it lest they lose their official heads two minutes after they had done so. Since gambling has been closed by law the chief is gradually cleaning the city of its criminal element, and this is not a very hard matter to do, as the thugs and thieves always seek those towns and localities that are run as has Mayor Humes run this for the past six years. Let the chief's critics turn their criticism on the mayor instead of the chief, and they will then hit the bull's eye and place the responsibility on the shoulders of those who are really responsible. Speaking about the police department reminds the Pie-maker that another member of the department has announced to his friends that he intended to make the run for the Republican nomination of sheriff of this county. The new Richmond in the shrivealty contest is none other than Capt. Irving Ward, one of the best known men on the force. Capt. Ward has served as a policeman in Seattle for the past decade or more, and during that time he has made a record for himself that is invulnerable to attacks of opponents. He has a host of friends among the officers, who will do all they can to see him get the position he seks, and, on inquiry, the Pie-maker finds that he has many admirers among the citizens, all of whom believe he will make an ideal sheriff, which means that he is going to have a strong following in the next convention. The people are not much inclined to elect men to first one fat office and then another, and for that reason such candidates as Capt. Ward will receive much consideration at the hands of those who do the voting. It will be remembered that both of the other leading candidates for the nomination of sheriff are men who have held fat county offices for the past four years, and if either one of them succeeds in the race it simply means another four years of fat office holding and the voters are not inclined to tie up to these endless political chains. The Seattle Republican now doesn't appear to know just what it does want anyway.

The Republican party will take all such good men as Mr. Lord that will come to it. This paper has no desire to puncture Mr. Lord's gubernatorial boom, but Mr. Lord himself wrote this office that he had no gubernatorial boom on tap nor would not accept one. The Democratic party, both nationally and locally, is in pretty bad condition just now, and for no other reason than because the good men of the party like Mr. Lord left it because it was run by renegades and calamity howlers. --- The next campaign of politics in this state will be a long one, and probably commence early next spring. There will be a great many offices to be distributed, and the slick maneuvering of certain once Democrats, but now almost Republicans is a very noticeable at this early date. They are getting into the game in divers ways. The United States senator and the governorship fight will show up the faction manipulators. —Puvalup Independent. Commenting on the idea advanced by the Pie-maker of this paper on the proposition of holding two conventions next year, one in April and the other in August, the Big Bend Empire discourses as follows: We believe that the Pie-maker's suggestion is a good one, and that it would meet with the approval of Republicans in all parts of the state. There is but one bad feature about it, and that is that the second convention will occur at a time when the farming communities are very busy, but this could not be avoided without as stated above, holding the two conventions early in June. While this would make it more convenient for the farmers to attend both the primaries and convention, there are many reasons why the nominating convention should be held later. One of the most important is, that a candidate nominated in June would wear themselves and everybody else out before election day, besides being at an enormous expense. Furthermore, it has always been customary heretofore to hold two conventions and we see no good reason for changing at this time. We believe there are plenty Republicans willing to attend one or the other convention and two conventions will give a greater number a chance to be delegates. Let us have two conventions by all means. *** Major S. R. Nettleton, who has been quite conspicuous in the political world in this county for the past decade or more, has just been appointed a deputy immigration inspector and will be stationed at Olympia. For four years or thereabouts Major Nettleton held a position under Secretary of State James H. Price at Olympia, and while there made a host of friends among the citizens of the Capitol City, and they doubtless will be delighted to have him return. The appointment carries with it a salary of $4.00 per day, with expenses, and will therefore prove a handsome income for him. No man in the city is more generally liked than the major, and those with whom he is acquainted heartily congratulate him on his success. *** 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.

It was a splendid stroke of policy and exhibition of business acumen that brought to this city the meeting of the Trans-Mississippi Congress, that has just closed its fourteenth annual session. To that came many of the ablest and most practical business men and statesmen of the western half of our common country. What they say and heard, and the splendid way in which they were treated will yield an abundant harvest to this city and the whole Northwest. Incidental to the meeting of the congress was the happy thought to have an exhibition of fruits, flowers, etc., at the meeting hall, that visitors would not have to depend on hearing of our products, nor yet of seeing alone, but as "the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof," so they can testify to the character of the products of the orchard and vineyards that seek Seattle as a market. Seattle business men, ever on the alert for new worlds to conquer commercially, and for an opportunity to add to the importance and solidity of the city, and to their own personal gain as well, have rightly concluded that the terrible drain that the Northwest is put to, in the purchase of iron and steel from the Eastern markets should cease; and inasmuch as every facility for the manufacture of these exist at tide water within easy reach of this city, that here in Seattle, with Seattle capital, shall be constructed a plant that shall not only save to but make for its citizens the millions of dollars now sent to Eastern points. That the scheme will materialize, and that ere many months will be seen this huge industry, in or near this city, is an assured fact. The Seattle spirit has decreed it and it knows no failure, nor never says die. The very manner in which the project has been received is but an exhibition of that spirit that has made Seattle what we proudly style it, the Queen City. een so months d which city, is the very it and the ad- very m One manifestation of the Seattle spirit is evidenced by the splendid advertising work that has been done. Time would fail to enumerate the many ways in which this has been undertaken; suffice it to say, it has been effectual, and the expense has been borne by the citizens of the city, and not by outside corporations. Nor has this work of advertising at all ceased, but by a keenness that is characteristic every opportunity is taken advantage of, and the world knows of Seattle, has heard of the Seattle spirit, and people are attracted hither from all lands and climes. They come, they see, they are conquered, they are captivated.

One of these reasons, and possibly the chief factor in bringing out that unity of purpose and co-operative action that has been so potent a factor in accomplishing this result, and which has been typified the "Seattle spirit," was the very handicap referred to. The people early saw the advantage of their location and with commendable spirit decreed that what ought to be done should be done, and not having a railroad or other exploiting corporation to look to, did it themselves; and thus grew up that splendid stalwart enthusiasm that enabled it to rise from the ashes of the old into the magnificent new Seattle; that caused it to equip itself to secure and hold the magnificent trade that sprung up as a result of the Klondike gold discovery; that caused it, in less than a week's time, to raise a $100,000 bonus to secure the construction here of the battleship Nebraska; that has risen to opportunity and necessity, times almost without number, to do for itself those things which go to the making of what is the Seattle of today. ```markdown ``` * * * * * * Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., of the African M. E. ```markdown ``` Don't Miss the Races This Week Church, has been in the city during the week and on Tuesday evening gave a lecture at Ranke Hall, descriptive of a recent visit to Western Africa, and incidentally expressed himself very pointedly on the question of African emigration, for the American Negroes. He says unless they are willing to work as pack animals at wages not to exceed 24 cents a day, live on rice and palm oil, and for attire, wear simply a breech cloth, they would better remain in America. The bishop is a prominent, talented man and gave a very entertaining lecture, and is thoroughly devoted to the cause of his people, although for himself he has so little Negro blood in him that he would readily pass for an Anglo-Saxon anywhere. \* \* \* The proverb says that stolen waters are sweet, but it is not a good plan to sample the contents of every bottle that drifts ones way, for the contents cannot always be told from the shape of the bottle or the smell of the same, as a Madison car conductor found to his sorrow the other day, when he swiped a dram from a passenger's bottle, thinking it was harmless red-eye, when in fact it was bug poison. Active work with a stomach pump cheated the undertaker out of a job, and another temperance sermon has been preached. \*\*\* On Tuesday morning the members of the State Press Association, who had been rendezvousing in this city from all quarters of the state, boarded the steamer Clallam en route to Victoria, where the annual session is to be held. The excursion planned in connection with the annual meeting was a happy thought, and those who were fortunate enough to be able to take the trip will enjoy a pleasant excursion and outing, as well as to greet and be greeted by the brethren. On Monday evening those who were in the city were given a banquet by the Seattle Press Club. The excursionists will return to this city Saturday morning. An occasional word is heard from the secret depths of the Chamber of Commerce committee rooms about a new Seattle county. The idea for Seattle to withdraw from King County and unite the municipal with a county government would no doubt be acceptable to a majority of Seattle citizens. That being the case, why is the matter not pushed into the open. If it is to be a good thing push it along. The Labor carnival came and has gone. The W. O. W. carnival is here and will soon pass away, but the carnival of crime that is writing a very black page in the history of Seattle is ever active. Burglaries, hold-ups, safe cracking, etc., are mild affairs compared with the list of assaults, suicides and murders that average about one a day. Surely the reading public is learning somewhat of how the other half lives; at least are getting insights into the lives of some of them, that is anything by edifying. Don't Miss the Saturday is always a great day at the races. First, because it is more or less a holiday, and the men and women who have been shut up in business offices all the week are glad to get out in the open air and in going to the races you not only get out in the open air, but you can have a barrel of fun as well, and that's one reason why such big crowds are always present Saturday afternoons. Secondly, the management of the Meadows puts on a greater number of races than any other, and thereby gives you more for your money. 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 afternoon, and during this hot weather you can find no more comfortable spot on the Sound than at the Meadows, 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 lovers 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 exhibited a finer or faster lot of racers than are now at the Meadows, which take a conspicuous part in each day's running races. The THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Passing of Sam Hill. Seattle is the mecca sought by many from other states and climes, fortune and fame bent. The success or failure that has come to these is the individual history of the lives of many of Seattle's citizens that time and inclination prevents enumerating; however, once in a while a case occurs, that for some reason stands out more prominently than others, and is worthy of notice. About one and one-half years ago, amid a great blare of trumpets, metaphorically speaking, on the part of the Seattle Times, literally speaking by the use of blazing headlines and a super-abundance of black faced type, that paper announced the arrival to this shrine of the goddess of fortune, Seattle, a man whose only claim to distinction was not that he was the son of his father, but that he was the son-in-law of J. J. Hill. We refer to Samuel Hill, of the Seattle Gas and Electric Company fame. The colonel-in-chief of the daily Times is the especial protege of the head of the Great Northern railway, which fact places him so far above the heads of the "common herd" in his, the Colonel's, mind, that he has stated that the only two persons he as a newspaper man interviews are J. J. Hill and Sam'l Hill. Other dignitaries are turned over to the tender mercies of his subordinates. The Great Northern is a powerful corporation, with great and varied interests. It would add much to its prestige and be of great benefit to it in many ways to have a "friend in court;" in other words, to have a member of the family in the United States Senate. Whose brain was responsible for the origin of the scheme that was to accomplish this result, this "deponent knoweth not," but Samuel severed his official relations with papa-in-law's railroad and came to Seattle, after somebody's wealth had secured for him a place at the head of the Seattle Gas and Electric Co. After a few months, or years at most, as a successful and leading business man, it was figured out that, backed by the N. P. railroad, and that more (?) potent influence, the Seattle Daily Times, Sammy would have no trouble to step into the United States Senate. It was a fine scheme, artfully planned, but alas! for "the well laid plans of mice and men." * * * A cold unfeeling world took not too kindly to Samuel in his new home. Opposition in a business way appeared, litigation followed, and being up against the real thing, even as the head of a rich corporation, was not to his liking. To his mind, evidently, the game was not worth the candle, and although in the litigation in which he was involved with the new company, The Citizens Gas and Power Co., which sprung up in opposition, his company, The Seattle Gas and Electric Company, were gaining their points, and were seemingly in the lead, yet all Races This Week race horse is always the thing of beauty and admiration 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 coming 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 public 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 afternoon 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. unexpectedly the case has been withdrawn on motion of Mr. Hill's attorney, and costs paid by his company. * * * Following this comes the report that Mr. Hill is to shake the dust of Seattle's gas plant off his garments, abandon his senatorial dreams, desert the metropolis of the Northwest, and will hie himself to Washington City, not as a United States Senator from the State of Washington, but as common lobbyist in the interest of papa's railroad. Spending the money someone provides is evidently more to his liking than rustling with the cold world as a business man. The reasons for this change of purpose and of base seems to be because he has not received the consideration on the part of Seattle that he seemed to imagine his position, wealth and relations warranted. The city authorities were not willing to deface the city by closing certain streets, that he might have a larger tract of land than one block afforded upon which to erect a $100,000 residence, in which to maintain the dignity and display the style his pride suggested as necessary for his happiness. Hence he is to go hence. * * * Along with this comes the rumor that his influence with papa Hill is so great that Mr. Hill, in order to properly punish Seattle for its failure to appreciate the fact of Samuel's residence within its borders, and for not tumbling to his demands, will remove his ocean traffic, docks and shipping to Everett. That would indeed be a misfortune to Seattle, but it is only a bluff and an idle threat, as extensive contracts have but recently been let for the enlargement of the shipping facilities already existing in this city, at Smith's Cove. Possibly Mr. Hill may feel somewhat piqued at the failure of his son-in-law to accomplish his hope or expectation, but he is a broad enough man to be able to understand wherein the trouble is, and is not given to spite work. Seattle had become quite a village before Mr. Sam'l Hill became a citizen here, and can no doubt exist after he shall have departed. NORTHWEST NOTES AND COMMENTS The lawyers of the state have been swapping yarns and having a good time over in that rural retreat, Tacoma, during the week. The occasion being the fifteenth annual session of the State Bar Association. The faculty of Whitworth College, Tacoma, has been increased from twelve to fifteen members; these additions being made necessary because of increased patronage. The Columbia Canning Co., of Vancouver, in this state, has proven by actual demonstration that fruit canning can be successfully and profitably conducted in this state. It has already put up 10,000 cases this season, despite a shortage in the crops, and the season's output is estimated at 17,000 cases. The Everett Pottery company has been incorporated at Everett for the purpose of establishing a large pottery plant at that city. A test kiln has been burned, and the results are pronounced successful. Eight varieties of clays are available to supply the works. The mining congress which meets at Deadwood and Lead, in South Dakota, Sept. 7 to 12, will be the greatest gathering of mining men that was ever gotten together in this country. Mining has assumed such gigantic proportions that these annual meetings are becoming more and more interesting and important. Now comes the report that the engineer in charge of the Mare Island Navy Yard, says that that yard will have to be abandoned, unless some means can be devised for permanently deepening the channel approach to the same. This will be very unfortunate if it has to be abandoned, not alone for San Francisco, for the government has spent many millions of dollars there in building dry dock, equipments, etc., which will be a dead loss. It certainly is to be hoped it can be kept available without too much expense. Its abandonment would no doubt help the Puget Sound Navy Yard, but we do not care to build up on some one's funeral pile; besides there will be work and room for both. It is now considered certain that the Harriman system is back of the Bellingham Bay and British Columbia railroad, now building from Whatcom to Spokane, and it is thus conjectured that the Great Union Pacific road will thus make its northwest terminus on Bellingham Bay.

A friendly suit has been brought by farmers in Spokane county to test the legality of the law which forbids them shooting game on their own lands without first securing a license. The farmers rightly consider that such a statute is carrying law a little too far. The shortage in the salmon pack in the Puget Sound district for the season just closed emphasizes two things as needful if this industry is to be kept from disappearing, and those are, first, an abolishment of traps by which fish are ruthlessly slaughtered, and the other is the establishment of more artificial hatcheries. The time has come to act in these matters. Seattle Electric Co. 907 FIRST AVE. Capitol Hill... A wild rumor was put afloat last week that Congressman Jones was soon to move his residence from Yakima to Spokane, with the idea of strengthening himself politically. Mr. Jones enters a denial. He says he cannot afford to leave his property interests in Yakima, and besides he believes he is stronger politically there than he would be as a resident of any other part of the state. Nature's most favored spot for lovely Residences. One hundred new residences within the past 12 months :: If the mania for condensed milk factories keep on at the present rate there is likely to be a shortage in the butter crop, and our bread and butter will have to be bread and milk; but be that as it may, these factories are making an increased demand for one of the very best sources of income for the farmers, and that is, dairying. This county is wonderfully adopted to grazing, and this increased use of dairy farm products is very encouraging. Moore Investment Co. LUMBER EXCHANGE BUILDING PHONE MAIN 60 It is said that W. J. Bryan is gloating over what he considers a prospective return of hard times. No doubt, so are all populists. It is only by a return of hard times that there is any hopes for he or they to get that for which their hands itch and their ambition craves, public office and the emoluments thereof. But Populism, whose chief exponent spells his name W. J. B-r-y-a-n, although he travels under another political cognomen, will have to wait some time for the desired hard times. At least there is no present indications pointing to such a state of affairs. Call on us for YOUR PIANO as OUR PRICES and TERMS and Some important changes have been announced during the week in National administrative circles. The resignation of Secretary of War Elihu Root, that has been expected for some time, was, on the eve of his departure for England, whither he goes as a member of the Alaska Boundary Commission, handed to the President. Mr. Root desires as soon as his duties on the Boundary Commission are finished, to retire to private life and the practice of his profession. The President has accepted Mr. Root's resignation to take effect Jan. 1, 1904, and has named as his successor Governor General Wm. H. Taft, of the Philippine Islands. Governor Taft will be succeeded in the Philippines by Gen. Luke E. Wright, a member of the Philippines Commission, and vice governor of the islands. TERMS ARE THE LOWEST Pianos sold as low as $6.00 Per Month Sherman, Clay & Co. STEINWAY DEALERS The Colleague modestly suggests that Seattle politicians are getting the cart before the horse in pushing out United States senatorial and gubernatorial candidates twelve to eighteen months ahead of election time, but nothing doing with regard to city politics, which will have to be threshed out in advance of everything else. There is yet plenty of time for the next city campaign; but as compared with state politics there is an ominous silence. The office of mayor, for instance, is no sinecure for a conscientious man, and those who would fill the position with satisfaction to the people and credit to themselves, seem slow to manifest the necessary degree of love for the dear people to get into the running. The chances are that when the city campaign does open it will be fast and furious, but the outcome no man predicteth. THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS BREWERY Democratic papers are enthusiastically demanding the renomination of Governor McBride. They love him for the enemies he has made in his own party.—Yakima Republic. That reason for Democratic love, so-called, for our governor sounds well, but it hardly hits the nail squarely on the head. It is not love for the governor because he is at outs with certain of his party, but an intense desire that the party may again nominate him for the position he now holds, with the hope that the disaffection within his party is so great that some man, whom they shall nominate, may be able to win out, by virtue of Republican votes, as did John R. Rogers three years ago. They do not want McBride for governor again, but they want him in the running as a lame dog, so they can win out, not so much from their own party strength as because of his weakness. YES SIR!

The action of the board empowered to select text books for the county schools in selecting one for use in the country districts, upon practical agriculture, is a very commendable one. It is in keeping with advanced educational ideas. To be practical, the teaching of the science of agriculture, for it is a science, in the country schools, attended by the sons and daughters of farmers and those who live directly from the products of the soil, ought to have a tendency to keep these same sons and daughters from seeking the overcrowded cities, by making the life and work of the farm more pleasant and profitable, because the application of the knowledge that may be given by proper study will enable them to adopt new, improved, and scientific ways by which plain farm work may be made to be as fascinating, as well as profitable, as any other line of effort. But why confine this special study to the country schools? Why not give the city pupils the same benefit and chance. There is many a good farmer spoiled in making a poor or indifferent mechanic, clerk, lawyer, or business man, who was so unfortunate as to be reared in a city, and who had the opportunity to learn somewhat of the possibilities of a farm life, through school text books being afforded him, would gladly have flown "back to Eden" and courted a livelihood direct from mother earth. As the pupils in the country schools are given an opportunity to learn, through their text books, the other sciences therein taught, also let the city pupil learn of the science of agriculture, etc. If he never uses it, it will at least have a broadening effect that cannot be acquired from any other source. Mexico's Dependency. The British consul at the City of Mexico says, in a recent report concerning agriculture in that country: "It is an undeniable fact among economists that the territory of the Republic of Mexico, in its present condition is not capable of producing sufficient to sustain its population; this is daily becoming more serious as the population increases and the agricultural producing power of the country diminishes. The remedy would be in irrigation, but this is costly, and unless the government undertakes it, private initiative will accomplish little. A program of national irrigation might easily be carried out in Mexico, as many conditions of soil, water and climate are ideal, and the benefits to follow would be of surpassing value. Should Make Haste Slowly. If it is desirable that a retired army officer should "butt into" public office, which is a very doubtful proposition, it would be far better for him not to strike for the presidency the first thing, but take something of a little less responsibility and importance. It is one thing for a man, after a lifetime of training in the arts of war, to become distinguished in his profession, but quite another thing for that same man to step from the head of the army to a successful management of the affairs of government, as its chief executive. This country has had military men as presidents, that were a success, but none of these had spent a lifetime in the army, gone on the retired list because of age, then been elected to the highest office in the land. The proposition therefore of some of the friends of General Miles to nominate him for governor of the state of Massachusetts is not without merit, but the idea to use such nomination as a stepping stone to the presidential nomination in 1904 is not wise. If they can elect him governor of Massachusetts, and he make a success of it, then it will be time to try for the higher position in 1908. A Great Alaska-Siberian Railroad. New gold finds reported from the Klondike have given interest to a tremendous project despite the inevitable scepticism which accompanies great propositions. Inaugurated by French and Russian capitalists and American bankers, the Trans-Alaska-Siberian Railroad Company has filed a petition with Secretary Hitchcock for approval of the route of the proposed line and congress will be asked for a grant of land through Alaska to Bering Straits, under which it is proposed to tunnel. John J. Healy, discoverer of the Klondike gold fields and organizer of the famous Northwest Transportation Company, is the American moving spirit of the enterprise. Count Liocq de Lober of Paris heads the list of incorporators, which met in Paris on the 26th inst. The charter of the big company is taken out under the laws of Maine, and offices are to be established in New York, Chicago, Seattle, London, Paris and St. Petersburg. A Long Water Transmission. Australia claims a record piping of water, the distance being 350 miles. A large dam, the Mundaring Weir, which is ninety feet high and impounds 5,000,000,000 gallons of water, has been constructed across the Helena river near Perth, and water is pumped from the reservoir formed through steel mains at the rate of 6,000,000 gallons per day. There are a number of auxiliary reservoirs and pumping stations along the line, which runs parallel with the railroad into the Kalgoorlie mining district, reputed to be the "richest square mile of earth on the globe." The district lies in the extremity and interior of Australia, where there is no water to be had, and the wealth of the mines makes such a stupendous venture a paying one. The water is not used for irrigation, but for the general uses of the town. Russophile vs. Russophole. As means of communication and transportation increase in number and speed, the earth, commercially and socially, is much smaller than it used to be, and doings of peoples and nations that a few years ago concerned other peoples and nations but little if any at all are often of vast importance now. More and more is one people affected by the doings of another people, though separated geographically by one half the circumference of the earth; and more and more is a nation its brother nation's keeper. This is especially noticeable in the case of the Russian people that are now attracting so much attention, and it is a testimonial to the power and prestige of this great northern empire that we find the civilized world today divided in the field of international politics into two parties, Russophile and Russophobe. The division has been clearly marked for some time in England, France and Germany, and the states of Southeastern Europe. It is beginning to appear in the United States as the people interest themselves in the questions of world politics, and even in hostile Japan, Russophiles, or at least those who on prudential grounds approve a policy of friendship with Russia, are to be found. To the one party Russia is the herald of a higher civilization for many people and in a great division of the earth. To the other it is a tyranny that threatens the world, and, besides that, it is the essence of treachery, "the bear that walks like a man." This political anachronism—this ancient despotism in modern garb, this Oriental empire guided by Occidental ideas, that speeds its satraps and its armies over thousands of miles of steel and gives orders by long-distance telephone to descendants of Genghis and Timour, is a puzzle to the uninitiated in the devious ways of statecraft, and, perhaps, most a puzzle to the inner circle of the initiated. Of all this, for good or evil, the young emperor is the personal embodiment before the world. That great composite of peoples that swells the census of the Russian Empire is not to be comprehended at a glance, but in the emperor we have a tangible unit, a man who stands for it all, who is the political institution, the state, of Russia. RELIGIOUS In Livingstone's worst year in Africa, before Stanley found him, when fever and foes harassed him he read the whole Bible through four times. That and nothing else kept up his courage, alone in the heart of Africa. If a hero like Livingstone needed the Bible, how can you get along without it? Train yourself to find the good in what seems evil; to make of disaster an opportunity for your courage; to master suffering by patience; to learn from sorrow sympathy.—G. S. Merriam. Do not dare to live without some clear intention toward which your living shall be bent. Mean to be something with all your might.—Phillips Brooks. Lost, Strayed or Stolen. "Missing—Last Sunday, some families from church." "Stolen—Several hours from the Lord's Day, by a number of people of different ages, dressed in their Sunday clothes." "Mislaid—A quantity of silver and copper coins, on the counters of saloons, the owners being in a state of great excitement at the time." "Wanted—Several young people. When last seen were walking in pairs up Sabbath Breakers' Lane, which leads to the City of No Good." "Lost—A lad carefully reared; not long from home, and for a time very promising. Supposed to have gone with one or two other companions to Prodigal Town, Husk Lane. Any person assisting in the recovery of the above shall in no wise lose his reward." Taking Walks with God. A little child gave a most exquisite explanation of walking with God. She went home from Sunday school, and the mother said, "Tell me what you learned at school." And she said: "Don't you know, mother, we have been hearing about a man who used to go for walks with God. His name was Enoch. He used to go for walks with God. And, mother, one day they went for an extra long walk, and they walked on and on, until God said to Enoch, 'You are a long way from home; you had better just come in and stay.' And he went." That was true. Enoch had become so familiar with God that he "just went in and stayed."—Rev. G. C. Morgan, D.D. Duty or Feeling. Feeling is a poor guide of conduct. A large share of our duty is the doing of what we do not feel like doing, and the not doing that which we feel like doing. If a boy or man is set a task within his ability, it is no excuse for his failure to do it that he did not feel like doing it. No court would acquit a prisoner of guilt on the ground that he felt like stealing. A man may at times write well, or preach well, or sing well, or perform well on a musical instrument, or fight well in the hour of battle while he feels like it, but most men have to do those things when they do not feel like it. The world's best work is done by those who are not at the time under the influence of impelling and controlling feeling in that direction. If you feel like doing a thing, or like not doing it, consider whether you ought to do it or ought not to do it, in spite of your feeling, and then be guided by your duty rather than by your feeling. It may be to your discredit that you cannot feel like doing what you ought to do, but it is never an excuse for your not doing.—Ex. Why Counterfeited. Did you ever see a counterfeit ten dollar bill? Yes. Why was it counterfeited? Because it was worth counterfeiting. Was the ten dollar bill to blame? No. Did you ever see a scrap of brown paper counterfeited? No. Why not? Because it is not worth counterfeiting. Did you ever see a counterfeit Christian? Yes, lots of them. Why was he counterfeited? Because he was worth counterfeiting. Was he to blame for being counterfeited? No.—Bethany Tidings. Neither is the cause of Christianity to blame, but rather complimented, that men will steal the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. The Least of These. Dry the tears in the eyes of a child and put a smile in their stead, and you have put a new joy into the heart of Christ. Take away obstacles over which little feet might have stumbled and your act will be remembered in heaven. Whatever is done for the least is done for the Lord Himself. The Brightest Things in Our Lives. God's will is not so much a thing to which we must submit as a thing in which we should glory. It is not a rod beneath which we must bow, but an ensign which we may follow. It is the one hopeful, glad and glorious thing in this world. We are too apt to think of the petition, "Thy will be done," as one only to be placed on tombstones and mingled with sobs, when it is rather our battle-cry of freedom, our cheer for hope and progress. There is no glad, good thing in all the world, in any day of any single life, but that is the will of God being done. The triumphs, the successes, the hopes, the joys—these are the will of God. Let this prayer, then, ring in our anthems; let us shout it in our praises, let us cherish it in our hearts as our exceeding confidence and our great joy: "Thy will, O God, be done."—Selected. Doing Good. Doing a little good is better than doing no good. But doing good as we have opportunity is even better than doing a little good, for every one of us has opportunity of doing good in more than one way, and usually to more than one person, every day of our lives. Therefore, let us do good as we have opportunities. Our power to find opportunities, and to meet them, will grow with its exercise. All of us can do a great deal of good.—Henry Clay Trumbell.

McPherson returned from a short trip to Portland last Tuesday. Rev. W. J. Tolliver passed through our city Wednesday evening en route to his church in Portland. Mrs. H. P. Lawhorn returned to her home in Tacoma this week after a pleasant stay at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones. Miss Carter, representing the A. M. E. Book Concern, at Philadelphia, lectured at the A. M. E. church last Thursday evening. Rev. and Mrs. S. S. Freeman have returned from the conference at Spokane, he being again assigned to the church at this place. A bran new baby girl arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Presto last Tuesday evening. Mother and child are both reported as doing well. By oversight the announcement of a new baby girl at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Harvey was not noted last week. Mr. Harvey was justly indignant, because that was a new experience for him. Dr. Charles F. Maxwell, M. D., physician at Tulalip Reservation, has been transferred to Neah Bay, Wash., by the commissioners of Indian affairs. Neah Bay is on Cape Flattery, and is quite a distance from civilization. The many friends of Mr. Will Mahley, a well known young man about town, will regret to learn that he died at the home of his mother last Sunday of consumption. He was buried Wednesday, Rev. McPherson officiating. He leaves a wife and two children besides a mother, two sisters and a brother, to mourn his loss. A. W. Denny, of this city, accompanied by his wife, departed on Thursday for a two months' trip throughout the East on a combined business and pleasure trip. A part of the business which takes him East is to look over an extensive mica mine in which he is interested. The mine is now being worked and producing an exceedingly high grade of mica. Herr Peje Storck, the famous Swedish pianist, assisted by Mr. Herbert Ritchie, of London, violinist, and Miss Marie E.

It is not necessary to repeat here the story of domestic infelicity that was responsible for this condition of affairs. They were equally responsible and are now only reaping the result of their wrongdoing; but it may be worth while to refer to it as a warning to others who possibly are or may be tempted to stand upon dangerous ground. Not only are the guilty suffering but a faithful wife and two innocent children have had a blight cast upon their lives that will take years to remove. Does it pay? These guilty persons will surely answer No! The Bishop Banqueted. Bishop C. T. Shaffer and Mrs. Shaffer were among the visitors to the city this week and the members and friends of the A. M. E. church tendered them a brilliant reception last Tuesday evening at Ranke Hall. A literary program, which had been previously arranged for the occasion, was carried out to the letter. Mr. J. E. Hawkins acted as master of ceremonies. Miss Gertrude Harvey favored the audience with a piano solo; Mr. Andrew R. Black, on the part of the local organization, welcomed the Bishop and his wife to the city; Mr. Clifford C. Handcock pleased those present with an excellently rendered vocal solo; Mr. Lawrence Sledge (Tacoma) welcomed the Bishop to the City of Destiny and gave him the privilege of viewing Mount Tacoma, something really new under the sun; Rev. Freeman, the new pastor, explained the situation and the good bishop was applauded for returning Mr. Freeman to the work. Mr. John F. Cragwell was accorded the honor of introducing the Bishop to the large audience, solos having been previously sung by Miss Barbra Davis and Mrs. Will H. Taylor. The Bishop spoke at length on Africa, to the delight of all present, and at the close of his lecture refreshments were served to all present. A. M. E. CONFERENCE. The twelfth session of the Puget Sound annual conference of the A. M. E. church met in the city of Spokane Wednesday, August the 19th, continuing till August the 23rd. Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., presided. In opening the conference the bishop made a short address and after devotional exercises officers were elected to serve for the coming conference year. The annual sermon was preached by Rev. G. W. Tolson. The second day session was given to hearing pastors' reports. The several points showed an increase in all lines with the exception of Roslyn and Portland. There are only 148 members in this Puget Sound conference, and the report shows $206.55 in general tax fund. Only seven churches were represented in this conference and they paid to the support of the ministry as per reports $1,774.20. As this is only a mission conference the reports show the need of some help to support the work in this Northwest. Rev. J. S. Payne, the pastor of the church in Spokane, has done a great work, for he has with the assistance of the good people of Spokane built a neat little church at a cost of $5,000. The following dele- 12 20 gates were elected to the general conference in May, 1904, at Chicago, Ill.: Ministerial—J. S. Payne, G. A. Bailey, G. W. Tolson and S. J. Collins. Lay Delegates—J. W. Stafford, of Spokane; H. P. Lawhorne, Tacoma, and G. W. Thompson, Seattle. Sunday, August 23, at 11 a. m. Bishop Shaffer preached at the First M. E. church, and in the evening at the A. M. E. church to a crowded house, and read out the appointments as follows: Rev. G. A. Bailey, P. E.; Seattle, Rev. S. S. Freeman; Spokane, Rev. J. S. Payne; Portland, Ore., Rev. W. J. Tolliver; Tacoma, S. J. Collins; Everett, to be supplied; Roslyn, to be supplied; Franklin and New Castle, to be supplied. Rev. N. D. Hartsfield, by request, was granted a year's location, to support his five children left to his care by the death of his wife one year ago. The conference adjourned Sunday night. HE WANTS TO BE LET ALONE. Mr. B. F. Hart seems exercised lest the Negro be imposed upon by false friends and induced to leave the South in great numbers to seek better homes in the far Northwest, which locality he considers is by no means so conducive to health and happiness as the South. Such solicitude would be highly appreciated by the Negro if he could only be made to believe that it was well intended. It seems rather to be based upon the fear that the Negro will invade what such false friends as Mr. Hart are pleased to term "the white man's country." The Negro will do just as well in the Northwest as he will in the South, and this is demonstrated by the fact that the Negro, not only in the state of Washington, but even in the extremes of Alaska, seems to be as prosperous as the Caucasian. A thousand miles beyond Nome is a colored family, who originally came from the extreme South. It is the most prosperous family of the little town, and the father of this family, it is claimed, will return to the states worth $50,000. All over Alaska where the white man is to be found there the Negro is, and alike prosperous or povertystricken, the same as his white brother. All of which clearly proves that the Negro can adapt himself to his surroundings the same as the men of any other race, and any solicitousness or uneasiness, real or otherwise, lest he go somewhere or do something that will bring him to want, is purely gratuitous worry. For the benefit of Mr. Hart and all others who are losing so much time and energy over what they are pleased to term "the race problem" in this country, I would suggest that they simply let the Negro alone. Let him go wherever his inclination leads him, and do whatever to him seems meet and proper, and if in doing so he happens to get up against the real thing let him profit by his experience the same as the white man, and it won't be long before he will be as self-sustaining as the white man. The Negro is an American citizen, and does not care to always be told that he will freeze in the North, starve in the West, or go to the demnition bowwows in general if he tries to live in any other section of the country than 12 The latest freak notion from Kansas, the land of freaks, etc., is that certain school boards are endeavoring to secure contracts from teachers that they will neither marry or court during the school year. It would be all right to promise not to marry, but the courting, why! bless their old fossilized craniums, have they forgotten that the courting does itself and the average school ma'am could no more prevent it, if cupid shied a dart her way, than she could prevent breathing, neither would she, contract or no contract. School ma'ams are only human. the South. He is hale and hearty, and if he goes to one place and it does not suit him, there is always a sufficient amount of work for him to make money enough to "move on" to some other place more conducive. Let the Negro alone, and he will solve his own problem, if problem it be. If he comes West, or goes anywhere else where the white man predominates, he goes for the sake of work. If there is work, do not withhold it from him on account of his color or former condition, but, if he fills the bill, give him a show, and you will soon see that he will do as well in the North, East or West as in the South, and, in my opinion, a thousand times better. The above appeared in Wednesday's P.I. as a communication from the editor of this paper, in answer to the article written by Mr. Hart, deploring the expected exodus of Negroes from the South to the Northwest. A pleasant entertainment at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Gayton in honor of Mr. Austin Anderson's birthday was enjoyed by a number of ladies and gentlemen last Monday evening. There are 138 prisoners in the county jail in this city at present. During the past week three women and two men have been incarcerated, charged with murder in the first degree. Hon. Edward B. Palmer left last Thursday evening for a ten days' trip to Alaska on legal business. If you have a bit of news for publication send it to the office without further invitation.
