Some time ago Governor McBride did not seem to have a friend in the county outside of Mr. Preston, but a radical change has been brought about and it is now believed by many that if it be true that he is hooked up, as reported, with Piles and Piper, he has more than a fighting chance to sweep the county.

Piles by the next Republican county convention for the United States senatorship. Mr. Piper is one of the most sagacious politicians in the state, and the King county combination which it is claimed he is now at the head of will make hereculean efforts to capture the county, and with Piles and Piper directing affairs the more enthusiastic say the fight is already won. Taking it all in all, the conditions seem more than ripe for a first-class factional fight in the Republican party which may result in the whole ticket being --- To the Public-I beg to announce that I am a candidate for the office of United States senator and respectfully request the united support of my home county. ED. S. HAMILTON. The long expected announcement of Hon. Ed. S. Hamilton as a candidate for the United States senatorship from the Evergreen State to succeed the Hon. Addison G. Foster (?) has finally put in its appearance, and according to last Sunday's Tacoma Ledger he is now a full-fledged candidate. The Ledger used the following in connection thereto: "Senator Hamilton states that he makes the announcement of his candidacy for the United States senatorship at this time as an answer to his friends throughout the state who have for some time insisted upon knowing his position in the matter. Not until yesterday did he fully make up his mind to enter the fight, without regard to the opposition that he might encounter. "Senator Hamilton says he has received so much outside encouragement that he is led to believe he will have support in all parts of the state. "The senator stated last night that he would put his business affairs into shape in a short time so that he could devote his time for the next year to getting acquainted with the people of the state." No man in Pierce county is so generally popular in King county as Senator Ed. S. Hamilton, and if the senatorship is to go to Pierce county the Pie-maker believes he voices the concensus of opinion of a large majority of the voters of GOVERNOR HENRY M'BRIDE, LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS is Announced I am states united N. Hon. united State this city and county in saying Hamilton, under such conditions, would be King county's unanimous choice. All of the hold-over senators in King county would doubtless prefer to vote for Hamilton for senator if they were convinced that there was no show for a King county man to get the election in preference to any other outside candidate. Mr. Hamilton has heavy business interests in Seattle and this is quite a point in his favor. SEN. ADDISON G. FOSTER Washington State's Senior U. S. Senator nation Effected [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. HON. S. H. PILES. A petition is now being circulated among the business men of this city in the interest of Mr. Piles' senatorial candidacy, which is being liberally signed. This petition, so goes the story, is headed by Harold Preston and Col. Alden J. Blethen, and the signers are given to understand that the Daily Times will support Mr. Piles no less enthusiastically than it did Senator Preston. Some of Mr. Piles' friends declare that a majority of the holdover senators have already either signed the petition or signified their intention of doing so and that all of them will do so as soon as they can be seen, which will mean a solid delegation from King county for Piles. POLITICAL POT=PIE POLITICAL POT=PIE There seems to be no doubt but that Deputy Attorney General C. C. Dalton is the recognized political manager of Governor McBride and that he will direct the governor's political maneuverings from his office in the Pioneer block for the next year. Mr. Dalton, be it said to his credit, is a splendid organizer and an untiring worker as well and he does not often go into anything blindly, and the Pie-maker would not be surprised if he has not got a joker up his sleeve that will make things hum before the convention names the next Republican candidate for governor. A move of much political significance, however, has recently took place in this city when the wily George U. Piper took offices with Mr. Dalton. Everybody in Seattle knows and knows well that the state of Washington never had a shrewder nor more sagacious politician than Mr. Piper, and if he has joined hands with Charley Dalton in the interests of Governor McBride there will soon be something doing and more persons besides Piper and Dalton will know about it. * * * Another line-up which is floating about the streets as having been effected duringig the past week is that of the determination of the Times to support Samuel H. Piles for United States senator and for which he is to get in cold cash $5,000. Strange as it may seem, it is also reliably reported that Harold Preston has also decided to support Mr. Piles, and the latter in return is to support Governor McBride for the gubernatorial nomination. Another chapter to this combination is that the Times will champion the cause of the governor and thereby the more effectively make the cause of Piles and McBride one in common. This is a strange combination, but there seems to be no doubt that it has been effected, and the Times will open the Piles-McBride senatorial-gubernatorial campaign within a few days more if not on next Sunday. *** It is flatly announced on the streets that Dr. J. J. Smith has announced his candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination and is prepared to make a fight in the next county convention in King for an instructed delegation in his favor. If therefore Mr. Piles and the friends of Governor McBride have hooked up together it looks as if the Enumclaw senator has been left out in the cold by his former friends and that he will have to make new political alliances. Dr. Smith and his friends will be a strong factor in the next county convention and will have to be reckoned with before the thinig will all be settled. *** Judge John E. Humphries, it should be remembered, has not withdrawn from the race, and in the opinion of the Pie-maker he, too, will have considerable following in the next county convention, and they will not take no for an answer. In which case there will be three distinct factions in the convention, all vieing for political supremacy. Judge Humphries proposes to make the hottest fight of his life to name the delegates to the next state convention from this county, and it is thought by many that the odds are quite in his favor. * * * It is generally believed by Congressman Humphrey's friends that if Mr. Piles controls the next county convention that it will mean his undoing, and the Pie-maker is not too sure that another factional fight is brewing in that direction as well. Frank H. Brownell is still anxious to go to congress, and if he can handle the Snohomish county delegation as he would like to he would enter the Piles deal even if it did force him to support McBride for governor and would under the deal succeed W. E. Humphrey and would also deliver to Mr. Piles the Snohomish county legislative delegation for United States senator. \* \* \* The change in the legal department of the Great Northern for this state is not wholly without political significance, and to the man who has watched the political checkerboard sparring, faintly seeing some move, which the player has had in his mind, and to make which he had been watching and waiting an opportune time, the opportunity having come, sees a complete upheaval among the other fellows fortified men has an apt illustration of the recent unexpected upheaval in the legal department of the Great Northern. For the most part the legal department of great corporations manipulate the politics, if said interests are in any wise mixed up with either municipal, county, state or national politics, and that seemed no exception to the rule so far as the legal department of the Great Northern was and is concerned, and especially in the West. The chief lobbying for the railroads of this state at the legislatures has always been done by the paid attorneys of the railroads and naturally they had to either be very popular men or stand ready to pay for everything they got at the hands of the members of the various legislatures. The supposition is quite general that the Jim Hill railroad systems in this state for the past few years have had to pay very dearly for what they have gotten and it is a very serious question in the minds of those representing the systems if the cost has not been greater than the actual profit obtained therefrom THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The resignation of Will H. Thompson has been looked for and expected ever since the last state campaign. Mr. Thompson, it is claimed by persons who ought to know, talked entirely too much after the election about the outcome of the senatorial campaign for either the good of the candidate or for the railroads and therefore his usefulness as a lobbyist was greatly handicapped when the legislature did meet. Then again, Mr. Thompson did not by any means please the corporations that he was representing at Olympia in the way he handled matters at the legislatures. His switch from Democratic to Republican politics did not add to his already very feeble public popularity and he being without personal influence, forced the railroads to have to buy at a very dear price everything they got. That being pointed out to the corporations they decided to find a more available man, and at once began to cast about for such. About that time Mr. Thompson's health broke down and he was forced to go to California to recuperate, and under such conditions his dismissal was deferred until it could be done under more favorable circumstances. Mr. Thompson may be a very bright lawyer, but he is a poor political diplomat and the corporations that he represented were compelled to pay out too much money for his poor diplomacy in handling men and politicians. The saddest part, however, of the whole affair, it is said, is that the once powerful and brilliant Will H. Thompson is now not only a physical, but likewise a financial wreck. * * * The failure of the law firm of Piles, Donworth & Howe to land the two places made vacant by the resignation of Will H. Thompson as trial lawyer for the Great Northern and Judge Thomas Burke, the general western counsel for the system, was a knockout blow to the hopes and aspirations, so goes the story, of that law firm. If the firm had gotten it a handsome fee would have been its part of the harvest, and secondly it would have meant the tacit endorsement, if nothing more, of the senatorial candidacy of Hon. Samuel H. Piles, and that would have gone a long ways toward bringing to his support outside strength, which strength he cannot expect to get or have without the Jim Hill interest in some manner leaving the impression that he is their choice. It has been previously announced in these columns that the Great Northern would have no senatorial choice at the next legislature and the failure of Mr. Piles' law firm to be named as the general Western attorneys for Mr. Hill's roads would seem to verify the statement. During the entire week the politicians have been trying to figure out what and who did hit Billy Patterson, but up to the time of going to press the Pie-maker has been unable to find a single one of them, who had arrived at any definite conclusion on the subject. *** The acceptance on the part of Hon. L. C. Gillman as the legal representative of the Great Northern system leaves a most decided vacuum in Democratic gubernatorial circles as there is no doubt but that a great majority of the Democrats of this state, including Senator George Turner, had made up their minds to nominate Mr. Gillman for governor, believing that under the circumstances he would sweep King county, and relying on the fact that the Republicans would nominate a man other than Governor McBride he would be able to carry with a rush Spokane, Whitman, Lincoln, Okanogan, Stevens and a few other smaller Eastern Washington counties, and thereby carry the state by a good round majority. While Mr. Gillman himself was convinced that the scheme had merit in it and would perhaps work like a charm, he much preferred the latter position to that of the probable governorship. In other words, Mr. Gillman was not around turning loose certain propositions for uncertain ones. Had he, however, became a party to the line-up mapped out above, it had also been decided that Senator Turner would be the most logical candidate to put forward to succeed Senator Foster, for aside from the united Democratic strength he would have in the legislature, he would also get whatever votes the McBride people could throw his way, with the view of having the railroad commission bill passed and the appointment of Governor McBride as the chairman thereof, but "the best laid plans of men and mice sometimes do fail." * * * Judge Thomas Burke has never taken an active part in the politics of either this county or state, and in his capacity as general counsel for the Great Northern he has paid strict attention to the legal intrigues that his company might from time to time he involved and given no attention whatever to the politics of the state. Judge Burke theoretically is a Democrat in politics, but practically he is a Republican as he has supported the candidates of that party for the past ten years or more, and ever since 1896, it can be said without fear of successful contradiction, that he has supported the National Republican nominees as loyalty as any "dyed in the wool" Republican. He is unquestionably one of the ablest counsels on the Pacific Coast, and with few equals in other sections of this country. He has accumulated a fortune within the past ten years, not so much from his practice as from the rapid growth of the town, he having extensive holdings herein, which have multiplied in values a thousand fold. Politically speaking, a great majority of the Republicans of this county would, of all men, prefer to see Judge Burke representing this city and state in the United States Senate to that of any other man in the city, and had he announced some years ago that he was a Republican in politics, having turned his back on Democracy, he would now be one of the most formidable candidates for the senatorship. What a joke it would be if all of this change about in the legal department of the Great Northern was only a subterfuge on the part of the railroad folk to give all of the announced candidates for the senate a grand go-by and support Judge Thomas Burke for the position. It may be improbable, but it is by no means impossible. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Those street car men who jumped before they thought now have ample time to think before they jump, if for nothing else except than to get a new job. It seems meet and proper that policemen in the tenderloin district of this city be sent out in pairs and that not even a drunk be arrested without a brace of cops being present. A monster nugget of silver weighing more than a ton, the largest single piece of silver ore ever taken from the ground, will be one of the features that Idaho will display at the St. Louis exposition. An exchange refers to J. H. Humphreys as Seattle's candidate for governor. Said exchange is a little off in his spelling; but then every one knows it means J. E. Humphries, so we have no kick coming, or going, rather. A couple of Seattle toughs may have held up that Vancouver saloon, but our British cousins have none the better of us, for it was a couple of Vancouver toughs that not only held up a saloon in Seattle, but killed a policeman for suspecting they turned the trick. Now that a learned professor has figured out that the supply of oxygen in the world will be exhausted in 12,000,000 years, it is quite likely the thoughtful ones will begin bottling up a supply against the time of need and before some trust gets a dead cinch on the whole supply. It would possibly be an interesting piece of news to know just how far the transcontinental railroads are responsible for the action of the Columbian congress in refusing to ratify the Panama canal treaty. It is no secret that the railroad companies are not pining to see a canal dug across the isthmus. An eastern man who awoke in the night and saw his wife going through his pockets mistook her for a burglar and shot her. Moral: When a wife cannot control her desire to acquire pin money in that manner she should first apply a sponge saturated with chloroform to her sleeping darling's nostrils. Like apples of gold in pitchers of silver are the following fitly spoken words of an exchange: The principal reason why you fail to find that advertising pays is that you don't sell what you advertise. Always let your advertisements speak the truth and you will find the crowd come to you for a second helping. The census figures of this state show an irrigated area of 154,000, whereas it is estimated that with the waters of the great rivers of the state fully utilized, something like 4,000,000 acres will be brought under irrigation. This land, now a desert, would then afford homes and prosperity for fully half a million people. It is time to notify the unspeakable Turk to quit his foolishness, or else go to and make him so unspeakable that he will have to kick the dome off from his harem to get breathing space. It is a disgrace upon our modern civilization that that festering blight has been tolerated to commit the recent atrocities. The yellow newspaper special leased wire news service has been stood on its head again. It tried to create a sensation, and incidentally a prejudice against President Roosevelt by giving out that the President had snubbed Sir Thomas Lipton with reference to an invitation to a yacht club dinner. But the whole thing is proven to be untrue, hence the inverted position of the yellow service. Next! SOUTH SEATTLE TIDE LANDS MANY Improvements are being made in this district, and when the proposed improvements are completed on Utah, Atalntic, Holgate streets and Spokane avenue, by planking them at grade, will open up and relieve the congested condition there. Business men should lose no time in securing sites on these lands and stop paying big rentals. These lands are limited, as the railroads own over half of them east of the east waterway. The Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Pacific Coast Companies are improving their property at a cost of over $2,500,000, besides the tunnel under the city to reach their terminals, $1,500,000, and a Union Passenger Station to cost over $500,000. These companies have purchased at a cost not over $1,500,000 about five hundred acres of these lands that are worth today $15,000,000. What is the "Seattle Spirit" doing with $30,000,000 in banks paying no interest?

A Berlin professor has discovered that seven out of ten girls who take piano lessons are attacked by nervous affections. It was long ago discovered that people who have to listen to them fall a prey to nervous prostration. "Had I a million dollars and of the same mind that I now am I would hire an editor and a business manager for the measley little evening twinkler of this city, that the people would no longer be tortured with the bundles of nonsense daily dished out by it." If the courts were a little more prone to err on the side of pronouncing extreme penalties for crimes, instead of showing clemency, as is so often done, it might have a wholesome effect as a restrainer and a consequent falling off of business in our criminal court departments Slaughtering Christians on the part of the Turks goes very muchly against the grain on the part of Uncle Sam's sons and daughters, and yet the Turks are doing no more nor worse than are the Tillmans of the South. Persons living in glass houses should not throw stones. A gentleman is being sued for divorce on the ground that he never speaks to his wife. There is on record somewhere the reply of another gentleman in a similar case. He admitted that he had not spoken to his wife since their marriage, but offered an excuse, "I didn't like to interrupt her." The main reason why "the south is not an apologist for lynching," as declares the Atlanta Constitution, is because those who do the lynching are so totally devoid of common decency as well as Christian civilization that they have not the moral stamina to apologize for their barbarious acts. The American Humane Education Society has offered a prize of $200 for the best plan for preventing strikes. It is certainly to be hoped some one will suggest a practical as well as an effectual plan.

OWNERS 8 The Walla Walla Union suggests that the cause for the earthquake that was so apparent at Seattle and Tacoma last week, was but the convulsions incidental to the hatching of Ed. S. Hamilton's senatorial boom. If the hatching caused such a disturbance, what will it do when it gets full fledged and under good headway? The Kent Journal sets up a plea for the next county commissioner from the south district. It says they never have had one in their neck of the woods. Well, trot out your man, buckle on the spurs and get into the running. If you sit by, Micawber-like, "waiting for something to turn up," you will be pretty apt to be "turned down." Thirty degrees below zero and September 14 are figures and a date that, judged from a Puget Sound standpoint, are a long ways apart, but they were painfully close together throughout the Northern Middle West, the first of the present week. Old Northwind is getting in his work early this year, and not at all sparing with his icy breath. Somehow or other some one who is most decidedly Democratic in politics always falls heir to the fat plums dropped by the Great Northern promoters. This is attracting attention among influential Republicans and a threatened determination among them to become identified with McBrideism in wholesale lots is in the air. In view of the fact that there is an unprecedented demand for "smiths" in this city, owing to the great amount of forging ahead Seattle is doing just now, it hardly seems fair for C. J. Smith to leave his forge, which has been more or less instrumental in building up the city, for the past decade and a half, for some other place, even if he can temporarily make a few more dollars. The man who bound and robbed Mr. T. S. Lippy in his own house a few weeks ago was given the maximum penalty of the law, twenty years. As he had plead guilty, thus saving the county the expense of a trial, he thought he should have received some clemency at the hands of the court, and got very "lippy" to His Honor in expression of his disapproval, before he was hustled out of the court room. If it be true that "labor and capital are natural enemies," as declared Henry J. Snively, of North Yakima, erstwhile Democratic gubernatorial candidate, in a Labor Day harangue a few days ago, his mortal hatred for labor is fully explained. While he has not the capital as yet, still if a few more opportunities similar to his main one come his way, he will have the capital, and by that time he will be in perfect trim to array himself against laborers. Consumption is as unnecessary as smallpox. We live in a vitiated air at home. We breathe foul, dirty, poisoned air abroad and the bacillus attacks us in our weakened state. We can prevent any disease almost, though there are few that we can completely cure. We have learned to avoid the sanitary sins of our ancestors, but we have other shortcomings just as bad. We have not yet corrected the habit of dying from disease, accident and overwork. The reason we do not hear directly from Mars may be that the people on that planet have not got as far along as wireless telegraphy yet. If, when some of our airshipists get well up in the art of navigating the bird realm, they will take a morning stunt off to that interesting orb and wise them a little on the wireless racket, we could no doubt have fine times hobnobbing with them. Then possibly we might establish connections with the man in the moon, also. Macon, Mo., boasts of a man who has not worn a hat for twenty-five years. That people may not think his hatless condition is because of stinginess, he always carries one with him. It would be much more convenient if he would adopt the unique headgear that has been meandering up and down the streets of Seattle for the past two or three years—a miniature umbrella kept in place by a band around the head. Seattle has freaks, too. There seems to be a cessation in the lynching pastime. Evidently the general publicity given to the crime by noted speakers and writers, the conviction of the Danville rioters, and especially the strong stand made by President Roosevelt, is bearing good fruit. It has been announced that the street car strike has been called off. It was well to announce it, for no one would have known it otherwise; the same as they would never have known there was a strike if they had not been told so.

Telephone Main 305. Colonel Henry Watterson predicts a Democratic landslide in 1904. Just about the same sort as occurred in 1900—a landslide that will put the party so far beneath the surface that it will take a good deal of tall scratching for them to dig out from under, in order to be on deck in time for the next bout. The Democratic press of this state is very solicitous with regard to Governor McBride, and seemingly very anxious that the Republican party make him its candidate next fall. The pertinent question is raised, will they support him if he is nominated, or is it simply a left-handed effort in the interest of their own party nominee, whoever he may be. When children of ten years of age are out from home at an hour approaching midnight and are caught in the act of burglarizing, what can be said for the parents in extenuation of their failure to restrain said children. Are not they more responsible for the crime than the children. Too many parents seem to consider their responsibilitity ceases as soon as a child can run alone. It seems a little strange that a few striking street car men in this city did not know that their case was hopeless, and that the strike was a failure, until they brought a man all the way from San Francisco to tell them so. This man knew it as soon as he got to town. Before starting into a strike it would be well for a union to have some one at the head who knows a strike when he sees it. The American farmers do not seem to be worrying much over the troubles in the Wall street market. They are too busy harvesting bountiful crops to have time to give thought to such things. For the same reason calamity howlers and socialistic croakers, who are beginning to get busy, are meeting with poor success in trying to convince them that dreadful things will happen if—well! if this prosperity continues. Laboring men are labor unions' worst enemies in that they, by virtue of imagined strength, born of numbers, presume to think that their edicts or wishes is the supreme law of the land, and that they themselves are above all law. A case in point is that reported, that at a certain Labor Day parade last week a gentleman was dragged from his carriage and severely maltreated for no reason except that he drove his ow nteam instead of employing a "union" driver to hold the reins. Such acts as these are what is causing the general public to feel the disgust and lack of respect for organized labor that is so apparent. The following from a writer in a labor union journal is very significant, and shines as a star of hope for a long suffering public, that long ago recognized what "enlightened trade unionists" now see. The writer says: "Enlightened trade unionists are realizing more and more each day that strikes must cease, and that a more effective, less costly, less demoralizing method be used to back up the demands of labor organizations for increased pay, shorter hours, better working conditions and complete recognition." The chief thing to do to discontinue strikes is to kick out the walking delegate and let the men deal direct with the employers. Then there will be hope. The Snohomish Tribune, referring to the candidacy of State Senator Hamilton of Tacoma for the United States senate, says: "But the whole state has naturally conceded to King county the right to select the next senator. If her politicians can get together, and settle things among themselves, and unite on one man, they will have no trouble in naming the successor to Mr. Foster. But the word "unity" has been an unknown factor in King county politics so long that it gives the Pierce county politicians considerable assurance that they may yet secure the prize." The Tribune strikes the keynote. In years gone by King county got together, stood firm and then got what it wanted. In later years it has been as the Tribune says. Will King county do as suggested? Time will tell. The ease with which the gamblers were able to keep their stoolpigeon, Deitrich, out of the penitentiary after having been sentenced for gambling, have inspired them to make another effort to break the law. Another man has offered himself as a vicarious sacrifice on the altar of the green cloth, to try and prove invalid the law that makes it a felony for one man to rob another. This time it is at Olympia, and Otto Suth is the victim's name. The law will be attacked on a technicality. If he is found guilty, no doubt he, like Deitrich, will be admitted to bail by a subservient court in order to give him a chance to flee the state and the penitentiary cheated of another inmate. The gamblers of the state are said to be behind the movement, and it is feared they know too well what the outcome will be.

Filipinos Are Reconciled. Five years ago, when the United States assumed sovereignty in the Philippines, there were those who said the natives would never become reconciled to American rule. There are no doubt some Filipinos who are unreconciled, but the vast majority appreciate that their prospects are far better under the new regime than they ever were under the old or than they would be under independent government. That the general attitude is one of content is demonstrated by the strong desire manifested to have Governor Taft remain in Manila. He is being earnestly urged not to accept any of the appointments said to have been offered him at Washington.—Ex. Should Learn "America." Returning to this country on an English ship, an American traveler was mortified by the lack of familiarity with the words of "America" which his countrymen showed. The captain read service on Sunday, and at the close announced "America" as the hymn to be sung. The first stanza was sung with fervor. Weaker in volume was the second, and the third stanza began with the support of two or three voices, and at the end the organ alone was doing its duty. On the other hand, "God Save the King" was rendered with confident power by a handful of Englishmen, who knew their national anthem perfectly. A Work House the Remedy. "Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do." If we have used this philosophical truism of old Doctor Watts once in the past two years, we have used it at least fifty times. We are pleased to notice that Dr. Mathews of the Presbyterian Church of this city preached a sermon last Sunday upon this very doctrine. His wisdom is shown in his suggestions of what to do with juvenile criminals, and is well worthy of adoption: "Put them to work, and you give them a chance to earn a good wholesome living." This is the doctor's suggestion, and it is a good one. Who will be the first man to come to the front in this matter, and put the doctor's suggestion into practice? The city itself ought to do this.—The Patriarch. Wise words fitly spoken. Idleness is probably the cause of more petty crime than all other things combined, and petty criminals soon become hardened criminals. A city like Seattle should maintain a workhouse wherein to place not only juvenile criminals, but the older herd of tramps, bums, etc. Work is a good medicine and as severe punishment as could be inflicted upon many of these. They could thus be made self-supporting at least, while serving their time, and some might even be induced to try an honorable way of living, or else be forced to move on. But to return to the juvenile question. It is little less than criminal for parents to raise up children in idleness. When they are not in school they should be kept at some sort of employment, with due respect for their rights for pastime or play. A generation reared in idleness means a generation a large per cent of whom will be criminals. The thoughtful parent who loves his children realizes this and plans accordingly. Right at this point we run counter to Socialistic and other so-called reformers, who make a great hue and cry about child labor. There is plenty of cause, too, for their outcry, for in many places childhood is stunted and dwarfed by the constant grinding of work, work, work. This is not intended to be condoned, and is as much to be condemned as the other. It's the other extreme, which also should be avoided. The great danger is to children whose parents are able to provide for them, and who through indifference or carelessness fail to keep them properly employed and they are allowed to drift into the mischief that Satan finds for idle hands to do. The proper way to correct this is through intelligent action upon the part of parents; and when perverseness displays itself, then the public work house for a term. A Statesman's Wise Suggestion. It was a wise correction which President Roosevelt insisted should be made in the irrigation bill, to the effect that the Secretary of the Interior should have large powers in the withdrawal of all public lands under proposed irrigation projects. The bill as originally drawn did not provide for such withdrawal until after the irrigation reservoir sites had been surveyed. The present indications of activity in filings on public lands under the various land laws, the minute that a government surveyor is seen in the neighborhood, would indicate that if the irrigation bill had become a law as originally drawn, by the time the secretary of the interior had made the surveys, there would not be an acre left of government land to be irrigated. This, we are told, was one of the "unimportant" changes suggested by the president. Democratic Inconsistency. It was not long ago that a mighty howl went up from the Democratic press of this country in condemnation of so-called imperialism, with regard to the administration policy, touching the Philippine Islands. Every one knew it was not sincere, understood the motive and were satisfied that if a Democratic president had been in the White House that the policy would have been but little if any different, as it was the only, the American way of doing things. In view, however, of this wholesale condemnation of the Republican administration, the following from a Democratic exchange, the Washington Independent, gives a broad hint at the insincerity of the whole "Imperialist" cry. The Independent says: "The Turkish question will have to be settled right, sooner or later, and the United States may have to take a hand in it. If we mobilize 200,000 men over there and all the navy we can spare, the Turk would not last over 90 days until all his seaports would be taken and garrisoned by Americans and that would cause a capitulation of the interior troops upon our own terms and that would be the independence of Macedonia, Roumania and other Christian States with an American suzerainty a little more sovereign than in the Philippines." While the plan proposed here is not exactly the same as was adopted with the Philippine Islands, yet it is near enough to it to make the inconsistency of anti-Imperialist Democratic press very apparent. Men and Issues. In the next campaign men must count more than platforms. Nothing so sharp as the free silver issue can divide the parties. A man is a living platform. His nature responds to new conditions, new shades in current outlooks, new light, when what was written at the convention has become dead and meaningless by changing facts. Men today can not be arranged with party labels. We have not so much issues as problems. There is no negro question, with organized parties in debate, but there is a negro condition, to be watched and solved from month to month. The labor problem is not a case of pro and con, but of tact and adjustment. The majority in either party would be glad to see trusts shorn of tariff favors. Any day we may have a crisis in any direction, and it is important to choose for President the man to act right when occasion arises, rather than to decide whether he shall be called Republican or Democrat. When campaign issues must be sought, carefully chosen, and whooped up into semblance of vitality, they mark no lines of cleavage. The legislative triumph of recent times, the bill which ushers peace and progress into Ireland, was not a party measure. It was won finally by the tolerance of a few men. Sometimes issues become defined and then personalities are subordinate, as in the elections of 1896 and 1900. We prophecy, however, that in 1904 the platform will be looked for in the nominee himself.—Colliers. The Oldest Tree in the World. The oldest living thing in the world today is a tree that was discovered in California a few months ago. Its circumference six feet from the ground is 154 feet 8 inches, making its diameter over 51 feet. Its height is not given. Perhaps it has not yet been measured. If its proportions are in the same ratio as other "big trees" of the glacial epoch it lifts its majestic head 555 feet above the ground. That is the exact height of the Washington monument. The tree and the marble shaft would look well standing side by side, presenting an object-lesson in nature and art. Washington monument's base is 55 feet square, 4 feet more than the diameter of the big tree, which latter is a sequoia. The architect of the monument followed closely the tree design of the great Architect of the universe, except in the shaping of the shaft. Nature never made anything square. Scientists who have been studying for years the ages of the big trees are now agreed that the average rate of growth is one inch in diameter for every twelve years, which would make the new-found monster 1,400 years older than the creation, according to Moses, and twice the age of Abraham. Of those big trees only 500 of exceptional size remain, and heartless lumber men are destroying them as fast as possible. And what do you suppose such priceless relics of ages dead and gone are reduced to? Grapevine stakes. They are felled with augers and riven with powder and dynamite. One blast destroys thousands of feet. Never more than half a tree can be utilized, the other half being torn into fragments. When one of the giants falls to the white man's vandalism the shock shivers much of its trunk into worthless splinters. Where is the hand of Uncle Sam?—Los Angeles Post. GOLD DUST. "Look out for the beginnings of sin. The thin edge of the wedge always comes first and seems insignificant, but it is not. Now is the time to resist. A little later and we have lost our chance. Resist beginnings." Let love not visit you as a transient guest, but be the constant temper of your soul. Let it pant in your heart, let it sparkle in your eyes, let it shine in all your actions, and let there be in your tongue the law of kindness. Endeavor to be patient in bearing with the defects and infirmities of others, of what sort soever they be, for that thyself has many failings which must be borne with by others.—Thomas a'Kempis.

It seems quite evident that the plans of the proposed Federal building for this city are inadequate, even for present needs, and as time goes on will be less so, but the consensus of opinion appears to be that it would be ill-advised to interfere in any way to prevent the construction as now contemplated. It is especially undesirable to delay the matter longer for several reasons. Better get this under way, then begin as soon as practicable to get an appropriation for its enlargement. AFRO-AMERICANISM. John Temple Graves, one of the editors on the Atlanta Constitution, roams about over the Northern States preaching the segregation of the races. Another editor on the same paper answers John after this fashion. Abstractly, the proposition of racial segregation is race bigotry, worthy of the dark ages. Where in this enlightened time and land is there an irrepressible conflict and deadly irreconcilability between habitant races? Seven million Negroes there are in the Southern States, living alongside of but a few more whites, and if a volcano is under their feet the surface evidences are lacking. To all appearances they are getting along very well together and mutually prospering. Such is high flung Southern journalism with a dual editorial staff. Down at Shawneetown, Ill., the other night the sheriff stood off a mob bent on lynching a Negro. One of the best preventives for mob rule is the election of the right kind of sheriff. It has been abundantly proved that the average mob is made up of loafers and town toughs and when they find that the sheriff has a gun ard is not afraid to use it their courage oozes away in short order. One of the oldest women in the United States, perhaps the oldest, is living in Champaign, Ill. She is Mary Ann Bell, and was born in 1780. Her great grand parents on her father's side were Creek Indians, and this mixture of Indian blood is noticeable in her high cheek bones and in other lineament in her face. When a young girl she often went to George Washington's home at Mount Vernon, Va., and assisted in the cooking when the father of his country entertained his political and military friends. At the age of 16 she was married to Anderson Bell, and she toiled with her husband continuously until Lincoln's proclamation. After that time, to use her own expression, "It just seemed like heaven every day." She became the mother of thirteen children of whom the youngest is living at Champaign in his 69th year. Her parents lived to extreme old age, her father attained an age of 120 and her mother lived almost as long. Their children numbered 19, of whom Mrs. Bell was the second. It is not altogether unpleasant to note this news: Waukegan, Ill.—This city's mixed population of factory employees is now being augmented by an influx of colored people, who are coming from the South to work in the big wire mills. For some time there has been a scarcity of help, as everybody is busy here. Many foreigners have been brought in, but have not proved satisfactory. The colored people are said to be good workers and easy to manage. Commenting on John T. Graves' fiery speech, Rev. Dr. F. H. Foster says: The spirit of the Christian community is the spirit of optimism, he said, "The spirit of the world is that of pessimism. To hear Mr. Graves proclaim the inextinguishable character of race prejudice and the hopelessness of harmony between whites and blacks, justify lynch law and defend 'anarchy' is to be plunged into profound despair of humanity and the republic. To read the daily record of violence and crime is to tremble with apprehension. But if we get into another atmosphere, the Christian, be- hold men at work among the blacks, see progress, gain new ideals, learn to appreciate the actual forces operating to li.t men up. God in the world is the hope of the world." The directors of the state penitentiary at Raleigh, N. C., recently discovered that an Afro-American convict was kept three years over his term and died in prison. It was an "error" they say. As the convict's administrator was a prominent Caucasian he made a demand that payment be given for overtime and succeeded in getting $200. Chancellor W. B. Hill, of the University of Georgia, admits that the Afro-American receives only approximate justice in the Southern courts. Mr. Hill was at one time a judge and he ought to know what he is talking about. All over the country efforts are being made by the better element among Afro-Americans to have it understood that the statements which have been made by the white papers that the Afro-Americans protect and uphold criminals among them is false. The better element condemns crime wherever, whenever, and in whomsoever found. It has always been understood that salvation is free, but a wideawake, progressive preacher in Tonawanda, N. Y., not only offers salvation free, but gives ten trading stamps to each person who attends his church. He has the satisfaction of having his church crowded, but whether those who attend are after salvation or stamps we know not. It is to be noted that Prof. Planving, who was assassinated in Louisiana last Monday, an occurrence dastardly in the extreme, had aroused the hostile feeling of the Southerners because he told the Negroes "to get property, stop working for others, and let others work for them." The whites could not stand that. Whatever the merits in the proposition to settle the race question, in the South, by emigration may be, it is clearly evident that the white people of the South do not approve of it. The dispatches announce that one day this week a Negro was lynched in a Mississippi town, whose primal offense seems to be that he was engaged in trying to induce others of his race to go where they could get more wages and a better opportunity to improve their condition. While thus engaged he became embroiled in an altercation with a white man, who, no doubt was objecting to his influencing "our niggers" to leave, and in self-defense shot the man. Of course he was lynched; but it clearly shows that what the South wants is to be left alone to deal with the Negroes in its own way, which is to keep them in ignorance and servitude.
