Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society VOL. X. NO. 13 POLITICAL POT=PIE If you are a regular subscriber to the Seattle Republican a personal appeal is herewith made to you by the management that you at this time remit your regular annual subscription instead of a few months later. The accumulated subscriptions of all its subscribers would greatly assist the management to make both ends meet in a financial way, and you certainly would not refuse so small a favor. Such an appeal as this has never before been made in these columns, and we believe you will believe that it is made in good faith, and each and every subscriber hereof will remit their regular annual subscription at this time. Be fair and just and let us hear from you. --- A grape vine dispatch from Tacoma one day this week declared that State Senator Ed. S. Hamilton had announced his intention of entering the fight for the United States senatorship for this state, to succeed Senator Addison G. Foster, but a long-distance telephone message from Senator Hamilton denied having made any such announcement. Such a rumor has been whispered about the state for the past three months, and where there is so much smoke there must be some fire, and therefore the Pie-Maker is inclined to believe that Senator Hamilton's friends are endeavoring to prevail on him to go into the next senatorial fight for Ed. Hamilton instead of the other fellow, and he is almost persuaded. Hamilton, as has been repeatedly said in these columns, is a strong man and will make things interesting if he does jump into the fight for himself. \* \* \* From the same grape vine dispatch it was learned that Congressman Cushman and Senator Hamilton had kissed and made up, and that Hamilton would see to it that Cushman got the county for congress, and that Cushman would use his undivided influence to send a delegation to the legislature from Pierce county, which would be a unit for Hamilton. The above could not be verified by the Pie-Maker, but if it be true it means the death of Senator Foster before the fight begins. In other words, Senator Foster would never get to the starting line. Say what you will or may, but Congressman Cushman is one of the popular men of this state, if not the most so, and when he and another strong and popular man hook up together you can bet there is going to be some tall pulling done. The Pie-Maker is in no position to positively state whether or not any such compact has been entered into by Cushman and Hamilton, but such is the gossip of the hour, and there you are. --- It has been rumored and even positively stated by close friends of Hon. S. H. Piles of Seattle that he was and would be the railroad candidate for senator and would get the railroad men's support all over the state. What seems strange to the Pie-Maker how both Piles and Foster or Hamilton can get that support. It's all quite true that Mr. Piles is a railroad attorney, but he is no truer to the cause and interest of the railroads than Senator Hamilton, nor has he done any more for them from a legislative standpoint and the railroad magnates, as already stated, it seems would hardly know how to choose between the two. The prevailing opinion, however, is that if the railroads take any stock whatever in the fight it will be in the interest of Hamilton or Foster. If that be true, it seems to the Pie-Maker that it would leave Mr. Piles' senatorial candidacy in bad shape—foundered at sea without sail or rudder, but this is only speculation, for if Mr. Piles gets King like he used to have it, he will have a power in his hand to trade on. \* \* \* Referring to the railroads and the part they are expected to play in the political affairs of the state during the coming year the Pie-Maker has been creditably informed that the railroads would have no candidate for senator or any other position in this state. In other words, the railroads mean to wipe their hands of politics so long as men are nominated who did not get such a nomination on account of his political hostility to the railroad interest. As to the senatorial scrap the railroads would not be with any of the aspirants, but would be only an interested spectator, any one of the avowed candidates, if elected, being perfectly satisfactory to them, which, if true, SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1903 would throw such aspirant on his own merit to get the required number of votes to assure his election. Under such circumstances King county had better be sure she is right in the fight before she makes the first effort to go ahead, lest Pierce county outgenerals her and again elects one of her citizens to the senatorship. \* \* \* Shortly after the legislature adjourned it was pretty generally whispered about both in King county and other counties of the state that Senator A. T. Van de Vanter was a gubernatorial aspirant. The rumor was given no credence at the time and it died a bornin, but now comes a well known King county politician and declares that the senator has not only declared his intention to make a fight for the Republican gubernatorial nomination, but actually has men out working up a Van de Vanter gubernatorial sentiment. Owing to the absence of the Senator from the city the rumor could not be run down, and so the Pie-Maker is unable to either deny or verify the statement. However, should A. T. Van de Vanter enter the gubernatorial contest, the other King county aspirants had better look well to their laurels or they will be weighed in a balance and found wanting, and A. T. will rule the roost. * * * Cosgrove Not a Candidate. It is curious with what persistency the Spokane Review classes our fellow townsman, Hon. S. G. Cosgrove, with the candidates of the railroad faction of the Republican party for Governor. He is not a candidate at this time and does not belong to the railroad or any other faction of that party of factions. He is a straight Republican. This county is for McBride and will send that kind of a delegation to the state convention. No man except Cosgrove, and he would have to put up a big fight to get it, can possibly get the delegation of this county from McBride. This paper knows its ground and there is no use for the politicians to be misled on the attitude of Cosgrove and the county so far as the Republicans are concerned. Mark our prediction, that Mr. Cosgrove will head a McBride delegation from this county, and should he become a candidate at all it will be after the convention meets and he accepts to save his party from utter defeat in the campaign.—Washington Independent. * * * A Tacoma weekly paper recently published an article stating that there is a bitter feeling of considerable proportions in Seattle against the Metropolitan Press Co., or against Mr. Piggott, president of that Company, because of his connection with the recent grand jury indictments. The article states that John D. Atkinson, state auditor, and other state officers will act wisely if they refrain from giving the said printing company any more state printing work, and that if they do not so refrain they will expect no political favors from King County in the future. * * * Mr. Atkinson, in speaking to the Pie-Maker a few days ago, said: "I read the statements in a Tacoma paper advising me to give no more work to the Metropolitan people, and I must say I felt rather amused—a little like 20 cents—for the reason that I have never given the Metropolitan Press Co. any work at all. They have had no work at all from my office since the new printing law has gone into effect, which was a month ago. The work they did was obtained under the contract system a year ago from the Printing Commission, and under set rules of law, as they were the lowest bidders. Those contracts held good, of course, until August 1st of this year, and they consequently have done some work recently under their old contracts. So far as our printing for the present year is concerned, I, like the other state officers, will aim to distribute it around considerably, and, of course, will aim to see we get the work done at reasonable prices for the good of the state." *** In asking that the indictment against Chief Sullivan be quashed the Pie-Maker is of the opinion that the prosecuting attorney has acted wisely as well as justly. If there was no law to punish Mayor Humes there should be no law to punish his subordinates whom he forced to carry out his policy at the risk of losing their official heads for the slightest variation or infraction of them. Chief Sullivan, if left to his own way, would never have tolerated a thousand and one things in this city that he did do, LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS though chief of the police, because he was chief with a proviso. Technically speaking, Chief Sullivan might come under the ban of the law, but the juror that would have voted for his conviction under the circumstances would have been a monster of such hideous men that to be hated he need but to be seen. If Chief Sullivan will now announce himself as an independent candidate for mayor he will sweep the city from stem to gudgeon. --- And now comes Mike Kelly with the announcement that he proposes to take a hand in the contest for sheriff's office of King county, and if possible pull that persimmon for himself. Mike is too well known throughout the length and breadth of the county to need any gushing over by this or any other paper, and the other fellows who are candidates for the nomination will know and know full well that Mike Kelly is seriously in the fight before the next nominee for sheriff of King county has been declared by the officers of the Republican county convention. Mr. Kelly has been a resident of South Seattle and its immediate vicinity for the past forty years, and no man in King county has more friends than he, who, he believes, will serve him well in the contest in which he has about concluded to butt into. --- No candidate for the United States senate that King county has ever brought out pleases the editorial tripod of the Times. It does seem now that Ankeny, its ideal senatorial candidate, has been elected, the Times would not always be ready to jump on every prospective King county candidate with both feet. The next United States senator from this state is going to be a King county man, and the Times had better jump in the band wagon forthwith, if not sooner, or it might do its county a bit of political harm. The above appeared in the Seattle Republican, a political paper, some time ago, in answer to an editorial squib from this paper anent the candidacy of S. H. Piles for U. S. senator. The item in the Times was not intended to be derogatory to Mr. Piles, and any one with a grain of sense would know as much. But as to the senatorship, the Times believes that the next United States senator should come from Western Washington, and Seattle is entitled to the office, as the metropolis of the Northwest. In order, however, for Seattle to secure the office, she has got to change her tactics. King county is not entitled to the senator, the governor and a congressman, and if she tries for them all, as now seems likely, she will get her just deserts—nothing.—Island County Times. The employes of the Seattle Electric Co. who had the hardihood to draw out of the Seattle Street Railway Employes' Union and organize another on broader and more conservative plans are to be commended. It is readily seen why broadminded liberal persons could not feel satisfied with the old organization. There never was any sufficient reason for the strike last spring, and the threatened strike now is as wholly without excuse, granting at the same time that the company has not lived up to demands in all things. The public believes in organized labor, and is in sympathy with all reasonable demands, on the part of the laboring classes. Notwithstanding the noise on the streets, and the presence of "I walk" badges during the last strike, public sentiment was not with the strikers. Much less will it be with them if the socalled trouble, now pending, results in another strike. The declaration of principles set forth by the new order, The Seattle Trainmen's Union, appeals to the heart of every reasonable man, employer or employee, and if they will continue on that same reasonable basis they may expect to receive proper consideration. The declaration that they propose to try and get what they feel they should have, especially an increase in wages, without a show of force or inconvenience to the general public, is especially gratifying. If they will manage to keep the good will of the public any reasonable demand is one-half won. Then the other statement, to effect that they do not propose to try to run the company's end of the business by demanding every employee shall join their union, is commendable. Men who do not choose to join a union have a right to live and labor, notwithstanding the verdict of certain labor organizations to the contrary. The Trainmen's Union has started out on the right principles. 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. Annually consumed on this coast can be as cheaply manufactured here as in the East, and the profits and benefits to captial and labor retained to our own people, and incidently stop a leakage of more than $25,000,000 a year that is paid for the Eastern product. More Fortunes Have Been Made in Iron and Steel Than in any other one thing, and the organization of a company here on a large and broad enough basis to supply the demands is a cause for congratulation to the Citizens of Seattle, which city will reap the great benefit to come from such an industry. And the management propose that all the benefits to be derived from it shall accrue to Seattle. It has been the custom heretofore, largely, to look to the people of the East for the money necessary to establish Pacific Coast enterprises. The result of this policy has been, and is, that the profits of many profitable Pacific Coast enterprises are now going into the pockets of Eastern investors who had the courage and foresight to put their money into the development of these concerns. 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. As it already has an extensive plant in operation which it proposed to enlarge. The Seattle Iron and Steel Company will secure the money it requires to carry out its plans, in addition to that already paid in, by the sale of its bonds at 95 per centum of the face value thereof, accompanied by 100 per centum of the capital stock of the company as a bonus. The total issue of bonds of this company is $2,000,000, bearing date July 1, 1903. These bonds will be issued in two denominations—one of $100 and the other of $500—so that the man of moderate means, as well as the capitalist, can participate in this investment—an opportunity that no one having funds for investment should fail to profit by. stock will accompany every $100 bond; $500 or stock will accompany every $500 bond. These bonds, as has been said, will be sold to investors at 95 per cent of their face value. They are first mortgage 20-year gold bonds, bearing 6 per cent, interest, payable semi-annually. 6 per cent, interest, payable semi-annually. Within ninety days the Seattle Iron and Steel Company will have a net income from the operation of its furnace at Irondale more than sufficient to meet all the interest that will annually accrue on all of the bonds it will have outstanding. meet all the interest that will annually accrue on all of the bonds it will have outstanding Within eight months it will have a net income of $950 per day from its furnace at Irondale, and its open-hearth steel plant and rolling mills; and in twenty months it will have an income of $3,000 per day from the above plants and its new 200-ton blast furnace. So it will be seen that the company will not only be able to meet its interest obligations promptly, but will have surplus earnings sufficient to not only pay a handsome dividend upon its stock, but to enable it to expand its business, to the betterment of every one interested therein. but to enable it to expand its business, to the betterment of every one interested investor. We offer our bonds to Pacific Coast investors as a safe, sound, first-class 6 per cent. investment. But while this bond, which will cost the investor 95 per centum of its face value, is a good investment in itself, the stock which goes with each bond as a bonus will, we firmly believe, in the course of a few years pay the holders thereof anywhere from 20 per cent. to 50 per cent per annum. This stock, for which the investor pays nothing, will ultimately be much more valuable than the bond upon which his investment is based.

Realm of Religion Realm of Religion The twenty-third psalm is the nightingale of psalms. It is small, of a homely feather, singing shyly out of obscurity; but, oh! it has filled the air of the whole world with melodious joy greater than the heart can conceive! Blessed be the day on which that psalm was born!—Henry Ward Beecher. The beehunter puts a honeycomb into a box and catches a bee. He then covers the box. Soon the bee fills himself with the honey. Being let loose, he finds his way home, and in a little time brings his companion with him. They bring their companions until the box is filled. Christians should do likewise. If they have tasted that Word which is sweeter than honey, let them bring their companions.—Pulpit Illustrator. * * * "Our duty is not dependent upon our dispositions. We may feel cross, but that does not relieve us from the duty of being kind and acting courteously. We may feel weak, but we must be strong." * * * The Saturday Evening Post has sought and received from successful business men counsel to young men as to how to succeed. The advice of Samuel Sloan, a great railway magnate, is worthy of attention for its practical wisdom. He said: 'I know of no better guide for the young man who wants to steer clear of failure than the Bible. The good old book has lost none of its helpfulness in the on-rolling of the centuries, and is today the best chart extant for the youthful voyager on life's stormy seas. It is the custom of some men to sneer at the teaching of Holy Writ, but they are not the men who have attained the greatest heights --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN in either business or society. Let a young man study the wisdom of the Bible, and acquaint himself with its naked, strenuous truth, and he cannot go far wrong in every-day life." Opinions Not Always Principles. Men and women everywhere, says the New York Observer, are too apt to mistake their opinions as to methods of bringing in the millennium for the principles upon which all millenniums are based. It will take many rays in combination to constitute the glory of the golden rule. Radicalism must be tempered with reason, and testimony against the evils of the world must be mixed with love toward those who differ from us as to the methods of combating or exterminating those evils. The great need of the day in the temperance line is the uniting of all genuinely "temperance people" on a practicable basis of working against the saloon evil. Burdette on Sunday Wheeling. And so, my boy, you were too tired, after a hard week of work, to go to church Sunday morning, and mounted your wheel and went on a "century run" for a rest, and got home at 7 o'clock p. m., so dead-tired that you couldn't go to church in the evening, and, defending your way of spending the day, you quote the words of the Saviour, "The Sabbath was made for man?" So it was, my son; so it was. So was the buzz-saw; and not two years ago I saw a man with every one of his fingers, and a part of his thumb, gone from his right hand, just because he made wrong use of a buzz-saw. "The Sabbath was made for man." So was corn, but not to make into whiskey. So was the sea, but not for piracy.

What the Rich Cannot Purchase. In view of the mad rush that is evidenced on all sides, and the fact that people are in such a strain to get greater substance, and that vastly too many fail to enjoy what they now have, the words of President Eliot of Harvard University are very appropriate, wherein he says: "We want more happiness, more real satisfaction, more joy, more enjoyment. It is said that we Americans are always trying to get money—more pay, higher wages, higher salaries, more profit in our trade—and there is truth in that description of the American aim. Now, is that the ultimate end of life? Is that the way to win greater happiness, truer enjoyment, deeper satisfaction? I think the first source in this world, is family life, the joys of father and mother and children and grandfather and grandmother and grandchildren. They last. In the natural course of life they last fifty, even sixty, years, and they grow as time passes by. They are always increasing; they are not diminishing satisfactions. Does the rich man have any more of these true and high satisfactions than the poor man? Not one whit more! He cannot buy them. They are the result of natural affection and of disciplined character. They are absolutely unpurchaseable in this world. --- The establishment of manual training departments to our city schools ought to result in much good. The education of the brain and mind is proper, must be attended to, but along with it a practical training in the industrial arts will be a boon to many a boy by assisting him to the choice of a life occupation that would not otherwise present itself. Wise and Otherwise Wise and Otherwise We are very sorry, Sir Thomas, but we can't cry. The separate county scheme for Seattle has been put to sleep by its originator, the Chamber of Commerce. The state board of equalization is in session trying to unify the ideas of various assessors and county boards. The Russian bear may be able to "walk like a man," but it appears to have considerable difficulty in otherwise acting like one. If an Indian's wife is properly called a squaw, it naturally follows that the offspring from such a union would be a squawker. The good old summer time is now passed, so far as the small boy is concerned, at least, for school begins again next Monday. It is refreshing to be assured that the recent accounts of a food shortage in the Tannana district were canards, pure and simple. It is suggested that the supposed new comet with two tails may be Editor Hearst's presidential boom looking for a place to light. It is no less strange that Sir Thomas can smile and smile and be a loser still, than it is that he can lose and lose and be a smiler still. It is wonderful what a dose of sour grapes yachting has come to be to Sir Thomas and how suddenly he remembers he is needed at home. Has a canvasser for the life of England's "greatest statesman" been to see you yet? Well, Salisbury is dead and ye canvasser is due in a few days. Whatcom is now in the throes of a county fair and race meet. The agricultural part of it is dwarfed into insignificance, as usual, by the races. It would be interesting to know what happened to the Omaha sheriff who served the papers on the woman recently enjoined from gossiping about her neighbors. It is a good deal like the pot calling kettle black, after it, the pot, has gone into innocuous desuetude, for David B. Hill to say that President Roosevelt is spectacular. Sir Thomas Lipton is game and a sportsman whose mettle is to be admired, but they do not seem to stand as against American boat building skill and ability to handle the same. A citizen of Seattle advertised for a cook and music teacher. He received nine applications for the former job and 389 for the latter. It is unfortunate that we can't eat music. Battleships, like old guns, seem to be dangerous things, even if they are not loaded. A workman on the Nebraska had two ribs broken a few days ago by a piece of flying steel. It certainly sounds like shipping coal to Newcastle to talk about bringing potatoes from England to the United States, but a large company has been organized for that very purpose. Possibly the reason for the defeat of Shamrock III was from the fact that the Reliance has "13" suits of sails, and Sir Thomas had stipulated that no race should be sailed on "Friday." There is food for thought in this. Speaking of the scarcity of girls who know how to keep house, perhaps it is due to the fact that there is a lack of young men capable of providing the house. Our British cousins may not even now be willing to admit it, but they must be convinced that there are some things which the Yankees do that they cannot do, no matter how hard they may try. In the left-handed advocacy of free trade, by many of the Democratic journals, they should not overlook or fail to expatiate upon the beauties and virtues of its side partner and faithful companion, free soup. It will be called to mind that the National Dressmakers' Association said last spring that the shirt waist must go. Well, they have been on the go all summer, and usually with pretty girls inside of them. Mr. Bryan says politics can never be honest until honest men get into politics. We do not want to cast any reflections, but as he has been in politics for a number of years his remark is rather self-reproachful. --- An exchange observes that "a Sunday dinner is more appetizing and digestible after attending a morning church service." It is to be hoped, therefore, that all Sunday diners will attend morning service. If our Canadian cousins don't feel satisfied with the result of the yacht race, let them pass in a challenge. Sir Thomas has been wised some, possibly they too could absorb a little experience that would do them good. Andrew Carnegie has given, to date over $100,000,000 to public libraries, institutions of learning, etc., and seems no nearer dying poor than when he first began to give. His meal sack must be of the enchanted sort. It is figured out that the strike of the building trades in New York, for fourteen weeks cost the mechanics in that city between $60,000,000 and $70,-000,000 in loss of wages. A strike is an expensive luxury. Instead of attempting to block the construction of the isthmian canal the government of Colombia ought to be willing to give Uncle Sam a substantial rebate for putting the isthmus of panama in good sanitary condition. It is said that Kansas farmers have taken to holding up trains. Crops are so abundant and labor so scarce that the daily passenger trains are held up and great inducements offered to travelers to stop off and go to work. Singing insects take the place of our canaries in Japan. The insects are confined in small reed or split bamboo cages. Some philanthropist ought to bring some of these birds to America and cross them with our mosquitoes. Government game preserve experts are now in the Olympic Mountains, gathering data preparatory to recommending that certain areas be set aside in the reserves, to serve the purpose of game refuges and breeding grounds. That was a lucky shot for Turkey, the one that did not kill Vice-Consul Maglessen at Beirut, Syria. Had it killed him, as at first reported, there would be something doing around that Turkey roost, long before Christmas time. Many a person would have been pleased to see Sir Thomas lift the cup this year, first as a reward for his gentlemanly persistence in trying for it, and secondly for the pleasure it would afford to slip over the pond and bring it back after a year or two. Caleb Powers has succeeded in getting his case retried until he has at last received a just sentence, death. It seems a strange irony of fate that in his effort to get clear he has succeeded only in having fixed upon himself the extreme penalty. Every honest man will say Amen! to the statement of Food Commissioner McDonald, as to his purpose to enforce the law on food adulterations, and no one, not a knave at heart, will feel any sympathy for those he brings to book for violations of the same. October 31 has been set by the county commissioners as the date for voting on the proposition to sell an additional $600,000 in bonds, the proceeds to be used in the construction of a new court house on the Yesler block, secured a few months ago for that purpose. Tom Johnson of Ohio packed his political freight onto a poor craft when he shipped aboard the Kansas City platform. It has floundered twice under Bryan's weight; once three years ago, then seven years ago under the name of the Chicago platform. It is no good. Winston's Weekly is the name of a new journal that has been launched in Spokane by Patrick Henry, whose after name also spells Winston. What office the spectacular P.

Now that the camping season is nearly over and the fair campers who have taken so much pains to acquire a good crop of tan, will begin the prescribed process to remove the same. This latter campaign will make business good at the drug stores and the "beauty" parlors. This talk of raising the color line in the navy need cause no disturbance. It is admitted that the Negro makes an excellent sailor. That being the case the government should recruit whole crews of colored men; thus do away with mixed crews and not debar the Negro either. J.

Accepting that statement as true, for the sake of the argument, most people prefer fiction to hard facts and will continue to indulge in fiction for a time yet. The Draymen's Association has conceded every point asked by the striking drivers except yielding to them the management of their business. The members of the Association, foolishly or otherwise, won't give up the idea that they should have something to say about the business besides paying the bills. Tis said that fortune favors the brave. An Indian in Mexico was brave enough to engage in the weary-some task of plowing corn; as a result he discovered a vein of fabulously rich gold-bearing quartz. $50,000 to the ton is the assayer's report. Wonder if this will cause a revival in the corn-plowing business. The Danish West Indian commission report that the inhabitants of those islands are satisfied with Danish rule and do not care to become a part of the United States. They seem to be unconscious of their misery, and cannot appreciate the possibilities for better conditions, or higher order of living, that such a change would bring to them. Since the publication in the P.-I. of the picture of "Big Bill" Morris as grand marshal at the Monday night parade, he is uncertain whether to cross swords with Sam Piles for the U. S. Senate, buck Judge Humphries for the gubernatorial nomination, make a stab for mayor, saw wood for the office of wreckmaster or go 'way back and sit down. The action of the courts in Danville, Ill., in prosecuting members of the mob who tried to break into the jail there, some time since, for the purpose of killing certain inmates, will have a more wholesome effect towards breaking up mob rule than yards of printed theories, pro and con. Seven have already been convicted and fourteen more are now on the rack. Hon. J. H. Schively, the well known politician and campaign orator, has accepted an invitation to spend a few weeks on the political stump in Ohio. Mr. Shively helped in the campaign in that state a year ago, and it is a well deserved compliment that he is asked to help them out this year. While in the East he will attend the national convention of Insurance Commissioners in Baltimore. As is well known, Mr. Schively is insurance commissioner for this state. County School Supt. Hartranft is a strong advocate of the plan of consolidating small county districts into one large one, on the theory that better schools can be maintained and at less expense, children from the farther parts of the district to be conveyed in wagons furnished by the school board at public expense. The first effort in this direction is that to unite Houghton and Northrup on the east shore of Lake Washington, with the town of Kirkland and maintain a graded school. It is an experiment well worth trying. Results are what is wanted, and the best is none too good for future American citizens. It is worthy of mention that the board of education have yielded to the popular demand and have discontinued the non-significant names attached to various school buildings a few months ago, and in most instances the schools will continue to be known by the names that have become a part of the cities distinguishing nomenclature.

White River Journal. All right, brother, move on; no one is holding you. If British Columbia desires an outlet to the ocean from the main land, it might be a good plan to smile sweetly upon Uncle Samuel and possibly he might be induced to put his arm around her and take her into his family. This would settle the boundary question in a jiffy. The suggestion of General Miles to discontinue the use of cavalry and substitute the automobile in the army is not so bad a plan as might seem from first flush. It would certainly cause a revival of the "good roads" idea, and good roads is one of the great needs of this country. It would be amusing if it were not so disgusting to note the way the cheap Democratic press try to make themselves believe that these are not good times; that the country is not prosperous. Wonder how many of them would really like to go back to the days of Cleveland badges, Coxey armies and free soup houses. The Russian government has taken drastic measures to prevent strikes. A special commission has been appointed to prevent strikes at all hazards. Its plan is to arrest and banish strikers. There may well be a question as to the methods employed, but it will doubtless be effectual. It is a case of the biter being bitten. The case of Chief of Police Sullivan has gone the way of all the rest, although the route taken was different from some. This was dismissed upon motion of the Prosecuting Attorney. It is now up to Mr. Scott, Judge Bell or somebody to tell what the grand jury was really called for, and what the people got for their money. One of the most promising conditions of the country is the hard times in Wall street. If they would continue so hard that all the gamblers there would be driven to the wall and forced to honest work for a livelihood the country would be vastly better off for it. We do not need, in order to be a prosperous and happy people, that such a moral blight be maintained on the body politic of this nation. A Democratic exchange, in referring to the Miller case in the public printing office in Washington, says: "We fail to see the justice in allowing a man to work, let alone supervise his fellow-workmen, if he cannot observe the rules of his craft." The idea is that if "the rules of his craft" are superior and more binding than the laws of the land, there is no justice, possibly, if one's individual right be not considered; otherwise, otherwise. It is reported that the Kansas school ma'ams resent, as an interference with their inalienable rights; the action of the school authorities in placing an embargo upon the courtship and marriage of those, who perforce, are necessitated to wield the ruler until such time as cupid's dart hits them; and like the Democratic party "view with alarm," etc., and vow unceasing rebellion against the action to deprive them of their rights. The Clallam News-Letter is responsible for the statement that Senator Ankeny, while professing friendship for President Roosevelt, will do his utmost to land an anti-Roosevelt delegation from this state, to the next National convention. Also that Senator Fosetr is in the deal. Senators Ankeny and Foster may be big ones, but they are not the whole show. The people will not stand for any such funny business as that, at all at all. The Seattle Times, in an editorial on the labor question, in proffering a suggestion struck the keynote of nearly all labor trouble. It said: "We know that if the leading representatives of the various unions of labor in this city, who work for a living and earn what they get by labor, will join hands," etc. There is just the point. Labor leaders, too many of them, do not "work for a living and earn what they get by labor," in consequence it is all the same to them whether there is a strike or not, their pay goes on, as it comes from the sweat of the other fellow's brow, whereas if their pay stopped as does the strikers, they would be slow to order strikes without good reasons. The labor unions make a mistake at this point. A Method of Economy Watch our windows for practical demonstration of the fact that your light bill is in your own control.

BRIEF REVIEW OF -PASSING EVENTS Yellow Journalism and the Presidency. Now that there is serious talk about a Hearst boom for the presidential nomination it is time for a little careful consideration of the man and the conditions. There is no danger of his ever being president, so there is no occasion for alarm, except from the fact that a party or set of men, would seriously propose his name for the office. His only claim to prominence is from the fact that he inherited a fortune, which ‘was no crime, and that he has been successful in the néwspaper business, which in itself is commendable; but when the character of the papers he has inflicted the world with is taken into consideration, the crime for which he is responsible is appalling. “Yellow jour- nals, as the Hearst aggregation are called, have done more to degrade and debauch the public mind than all other causes combined, and when the “Father of Yel- low Journalism” is seriously proposed for the highest office in the land, it is high time for those who still have a respect for the higher ideals of life, to pause and consider whither are we drifting. The alarming ‘condition is in the fact that a considerable number of people are so far lost to the best interests of the people of the land as to be willing to support such a man. The Democratic party are certainly in bad straits to for a moment consider the proposition of pandering to the low and vicious elements represented by yellow journalism for the hope of winning an office. Washington’s Stone House. « Building material found in the State of Washington “AvHIL be the basis for a unique display at the Universal ‘Exposition at St. Louis in 1904. This state has an ‘llotment of 2,800 square feet in the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy, and in the center of this space: the building materials exhibits will be made. A‘small but ornate structure will be built in this space, and the other mineral products will be displayed around it. The building will be constructed of brick atid’ stone, It will be 16 feet square, and 14 feet high. Just as many varieties of brick, stone and marble from as many sections of the state as can be secured will be included. The blocks of stone will be dressed in different ways to display the material to best advan- tage, Some faces will be polished, while others will be, tooled, and others will be left natural. Different varieties of molded brick and different colors and styles of terra cotta will be placed about the top wall. In spaces which may be designated as blind win- ‘dows, the marbles of the state will be shown, Inside the building will be the office of the official in charge ‘of the building, and pamphlets descriptive of the build- ing will be issued. Besides the stones to be shown in the building, every quarry in the State will furnish eight-inch cubes, uniform and similar in the method of dressing, Julian E. Itter, the famous landscape artist, is paint- ing a series of large landscapes, which will be used in decorating the walls of the Washington State build- ing: Artists say that the Washington scenery ex- ceeds in diversity and rugged beauty that to be found in any other country in the world, “The Washington State building will be one of the ri¥st2tthique and attractive on the plateau of States. Twill be four stories high, and built entirely of tim- bers from the forests of the state, Eight great tim- bers, 24 inches square and 100 feet long, rear their lengths into the air in an unbroken piece, meeting in the center, and forming the supports, after the fashion of great Indian wigwams. The stories are each small- er than the one below it, and the roof for the final story takes on a pagoda form, giving the structure a Japanese appearance. This great northwestern state will also make a splendid exhibit of her agricultural and horticultural products, Future Applications for Radium. As wise as we sometimes think we are getting in this day and generation, is is evident to the student of nature and the times that we have only just begun to scratch on the surface of scientific knowledge. The following from an exchange is just one little peep into the field of recearch that lays out before the seeker after hidden mysteries and possibilities : “The wonderful new discovery known as radium appears destined to revolutionize the existing condi- tion of things, so far as artificial light and power are cencerned. Ina recent issue the Anglo-Indian Review summarizes an interesting and illuminating account ‘of the possible future applications of radium, The area where success is practically assured is at present not very large, but in the medical field it is already fairly extensive, In the working of X-rays and in the marvelous results achieved in the treatment of cancer and blindness we have every hope for great and uni- versal benefiting results, In its industrial application we are somewhat restricted by the extremely limited supply of radium available, but it is stated that a small fraction of an ounce, properly employed, would prob- ably provide a good light sufficient for several rooms, and would not require renewal during the present century, It has been calculated that the energy stored in one gram of radium is sufficient to raise 500 tons weight a mile high. An ounce would, therefore, suffice to drive a 50 horse power motor car at the rate of 30 miles an hour around the world.” Rabbit Canning in Oregon. The new Oregon rabbit cannery promises to make a good season’s pack this year. A dispatch notes that a contract has been entered into between Harry Rog- ers, a prominent stockman of Butter Creek, and the American Hare Packing & Cold Storage Co., of Echo, by which Mr, Rogers agrees to deliver 10,000 Ameri- can hares to the cannery within 60 days, commencing October 1, The hares are to be delivered alive and in prime condition. This will necessitate the erection of miles of rabbit fence and the construction of wagon boxes with decks specially arranged. The rabbits will be loaded like sheep, driven to the cannery in four- horse loads and there unloaded, Many persons in the vicinity of Echo have arranged to raise the Am- erican hare on a large scale, Oregon got something of a reputation in, supplying the market with table delicacies from its canned horse factory, but the Echo venture promises to break the record and fully estab- lish the fact that nothing is going to be permitted to go to waste in the Webfoot state——West Coast Trade. Protection Wins by 300 Per Cent, The product of pig iron in this country the present year will exceed twenty million tons, That of Great Britain and Germany combined will be considerably below this; and the pre-eminence of the United States in iron and steel is growing more pronounced year by year, under the influence of the benign policy of protection, which, the Republican party has conferred upon the country, Our present rate of production is a remarkable contrast to the production in this coun- try nine years ago, the “boss” Cleveland year, when the pig iron produced in the United States was but 6,757,248 tons, or about ope-hifh of the present rate. In that year Great Britain’s production considerably exceeded ours, while Germany’s didn’t lag far be- hind. The showing is a remarkable object lesson in the comparative advantages to the country of Free- Trade vs. Protection, and Protection wins by three hundred per cent,—Salt Lake Tribune. The Greatest of All Trusts. There is a world of truth in the statement of D. M. Parry, president of the National Association of Manu- facturers, wherein he says: “Organized labor is par- ticularly denunciatory of trusts, but what greater trust is there than itself? It is the grand trust of the times. It is the muscle trust, the trust of men who make their living by manual labor. . It is to be hoped that, in accordance with the Nelson amendment to the department of commerce bill, the government, in turning the searchlight of publicity on the trusts, will not forget organized labor. If any institution needs to be exposed to the limelight, it is certainly trades unionism, But it is not only a trust itself; it is a creator of other trusts—of capitalistic trusts, as distinguished from labor trusts. One of the leading causes for the formation of a number of the industrial combinations has been the necessity that has confronted employers to unite that the exactions of labor might be more effectively dealt with. American trade in Manchuria amounts to about $6,- 000,000 a year, a sum hardly sufficient to warrant a war with Russia over the trade question. But Admiral Evans (“Fighting Bob”) warns the Navy Department of probable trouble somewhere in Chinese waters in the near future. He does not say that the Manchurian question will precipitate it, but many journals locate the center of disturbance in that neighborhood. Whether the proffer of two additional open ports by China, made since the report from Admiral Evans was received, favorably affects the situation does not trans- pire, Secretary Hay has managed our case with Rus- sia with great diplomatic skill, and, thus far, with no- table success. Japan has an old grievance against Rus- sia on account of having been compelled to yield terri- tory that she had fairly won in her war with China, and if Edward VII joins forces with the Mikado there may be trouble in which, let us hope, Uncle Sam need not be involved. Bryan Organ Begs the Question. The Aberdeen Herald says: “It is cheerfully ad- mitted that Grover Cleveland is the unanimous choice of the Republican organs for the Democratic nomina- tion for president.” The Herald is begging the ques- tion, in order to vent its spleen against the ex-presi- dent, The average Republican organ cares very little whom the Democrats nominate for President. They feel satisfied he will not be elected. The Herald is an exponent of Bryanism, and for its information, be it said, that Republicans would as soon the Democrats would nominate Bryan as Cleveland or vise versa. They have each been defeated twice and can, or would be defeated again. In short, Republicans are not car ing one whit who the Democrats nominate, and talk about Democrat nomination by the Republican press is mere idle gossip. Kicking Straps vs. Hamstringing. Secretary of the Treasury, Leslie M. Shaw, is re- garded as a conservative man and one whose judgment is usually right on financial matters, He says: “Com- bined capital is not an unmixed evil, but, like every other possible good, is capable of evil. We have reached a point in our civilization where the things we undertake require associated capital. It is there- fore the province of the statesman to so legislate as to encourage associated capital and at the same time guard against the evils that frequently ensue.” It is vastly wiser to put kicking straps on your horses than to hamstring them. There are Others. John D, Rockefeller is not the only oil king, neither does he control the oil business of the world, as is sometimes stated. In Russia an area of only a few square miles is producing more crude petroleum than all the wells of the United States put together. About two years ago one well was struck that produced 2,000,000 barrels in two months, flooding the country so extensively that the damage assessed against the owner more than ate up the profit. They do not pre- tend to run the oil into tanks at the wells, but dam up the valleys and hold it in ponds and lakes. Russia also has its “standard oil” company, with pipe lines and tank ships for the distribution of the. product, and their “oil kings” of fabulous wealth, America Needs a New Heart. Speaking upon this subject, Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, says: “We, shall have strikes and lockouts, and perhaps violence in the future. The fierce com- petitive system under which we live and which results in overcapitalization and overproduction is responsi- ble for many of the evils from which we suffer. Some of our greatest industries are capitalized at four and five times their real value, and every possible device is resorted to in order to pay dividends on the watered stock. The outcome sooner or later is a panic which destroys hundreds of millions of dollars and brings wretchedness and want to millions of human beings. Where is the reason for all this? It springs from our American hurry to get rich, which is a disease of a people who lack ideals; who measure the value of religion, culture and art by the influence of these things on thrift and material prosperity. In the midst of all this rush.and noise of business, of expansion and success, we are rapidly growing incapable of taking or loving the deeper views of life. Our faith in education is, at bottom, the faith in its powers to enable us to get more money. Our preaching, leaving aside the things that are eternally right and true and indis- pensable, concerns itself with that which is frivolous, startling and vulgar. HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP. He sees when their footsteps falter, ‘When their hearts grow weak and faint; He marks when their strength is failing, And listens to each complaint. He bids them rest for a season, For the pathway has grown too steep; And, folded in fair, green pastures, He giveth his loved ones sleep. Like weary and worn-out children, ‘Who sigh for the daylight’s close, He knows they oft are longing For home and its sweet repose; So he calls them in from their labors Ere the shadows round them creep, And, silently watching o'er them, He giveth his loved ones sleep. All dread of the distant future, All fears that oppress today, Like mists that clear in sunlight, Have noiselessly passed away, No call or clamor can rouse them From slumber so pure and deep, For only his voice can reach them, He giveth his loved ones sleep. Weep not that their toils are over; Weep not that their race is run; God grant we may rest as calmly ‘When our work, like theirs, is done. Till then we would yield with gladness Our treasures to him to keep, And rejoice in the sweet assurance He giveth his loved ones sleep.—Unknown a IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF KING County, State of Washington.

If you have a bit of news for publication send it to the office without further invitation. Senator Richie Kinnear returned one day this week from a ten days' trip to Alaska. He was accompanied by his wife. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Gayton have moved into their new home, the corner of Twenty-sixth avenue and Republican street. Editors Griffin and Ryan both did business in the Queen City within the past week. Seattle must be good pickings even to those who abuse it most. Miss Emma Houston will leave the latter part of next week to school. She will not return before the latter part of December and then only for the Christmas holidays. Mr. George H, Grose left last Monday to take up his duties. He thinks he will be from home not less than two years. His health was greatly improved by his vacation. This office regrets to learn of the continuous poor health of Mr. I. I. Walker in Dawson City. Since his return to Dawson last January he has been in exceedingly poor health. Mr. Stafford, wife and five children, of Emporia, Kansas, are among the late arrivals in the city with a view of making this their home. Mr. Stafford is a brother-in-law of Mr. Brice Taylor. Miss Candace Parker, of Spokane, is visiting with Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Tutt. Miss Parker is one of Spokane's many charming young ladies and has a host of friends both in Spokane and Seattle.

A council of the leading Baptist ministers met pursuant to call issued on the 14th day of August, 1903, by Rev. McPherson, for the purpose of determining whether or not the so-called charges perported to have been preferred against him by Rev. F. T. Walker and others, were justifiable or not. The council convened pursuant to the call, and after some considerable discussion participated in only by members of the council, it was determined that inasmuch as the door of the church had been closed against this deliberation in Seattle, it was moved and unanimously supported that this council adjourn to be convened in the city of Tacoma, at the Olivet Baptist Church on Wednesday evening, Sept. 9, 1903; and then and there in public council, hear all matters pertaining thereto. Rev. Walker was requested to bring all records and evidence to sustain the charges. Those most prominent in the discussion were Rev. F. J. Davidson, Tacoma, Rev. S. G. Wilson of Everett, Rev. A. J. Shepherd of Georgetown, Rev. Wm. Hammond of Seattle, Deacons Stallworth and Payne of Tacoma, and others too numerous to mention. A large delegation will attend the trial as the outcome is looked for with keen interest. The public demands that justice be done in this case. If Mr. McPherson is a bad man he should be denounced to the world as an imposter, and if he has been assailed maliciously then his accusers should be taught a lesson that they will not soon forget. ROSLYN NOTES. Henry Miller has his new home completed and has moved into the same. Mr. George Banks and Miss Lizzie Donaldson were visitors to North Yakima last week. Miss Myrtle Warmick is again a resident of our city. She will keep house for her father. Heartfelt sympathy is extended to Mr. George Sanders, who lost his little baby a few days ago. Mrs. Alice Breckenridge left for Spokane on the 27th. Having been reared in Roslyn, it was but natural that she hated to leave for home. --- 20 SSION TEN CENTS 10 William McKessen and John Corbin, the well known prospectors for precious metals, were down from the mountains the 29th ult. and think they have a bonanza in their hands. Wm. Pinkton gave a ball in Shepperson Hall on the 24th, which was a very successful as well as pleasant affair. Everybody danced until "broad daylight and went home with the 'gals' in the morning." The Seattle Republican would be pleased to have a few more subscribers in Roslyn and it would take it as a personal favor to the management if you would ask your neighbors to subscribe for it. Mr. Joseph Heath made a flying visit to Roslyn one day last week on business. Joe has a host of friends in this camp and they are always pleased to meet him and to have him stay as long as he will among them. He is reported as doing exceedingly well in Seattle and his friends here are very proud of it. Mr. G. H. Clark, who has been working in Franklin for some time, passed through the city last Saturday en route for British Columbia, where he hopes to get steady work at good wages. Ringling Bros.' Circus, if Ruth Kemig's suit is successful, will have to drop $15,000 in Seattle, instead of $6,000, which it should have paid for operating in this city. There may be a large number of houses for rent in Seattle, but there are fifty times more being built than there are being vacated. The officers and waiters of the Rainier Club are beginning to feel good over the early prospects of their new building's completion. Hon. Jacob Furth has returned from a ten days' outing in the Yellowstone Park, but is not inclined to give the disgruntled street car men any audience. If the prayer of those representing the Wayside Mission is granted the county commissioners will expend $585 for new beds for the hospital. The idea is not a bad one. Dr. Frank Van Waters' partner in assaulting little girls has been convicted and it looks bad for the doctor. If those whelps had been negroes only their ashes would now tell the tale of their crimes. The teamsters' strike is still with us and so far as the teamsters are concerned it looks as if it will continue to be with us. NOTICE OF SETTLEMENT OF FINAL ACCOUNT.
