Seattle Republican

Historical Society The SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 16 SEATTLE, WASHIN LE REPU SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1903 townsman, who will ask a second nomination at the hands of the Republicans of this state, will not have very smooth sailing, either. Mr. Humphrey, for some reason, has few friends in my section, and I surmise a united effort will be made to prevent his re-nomination at the next convention. He is disliked for the way he acted and for what he is reported to have said when he met the Tacoma committee, which was arranging to receive the president last May. While the opposition to Mr. Cushman is only in its infancy, the opposition to Mr. Humphrey is widespread and pronounced, and it will burst forth into a regular rebellion if his nomination is forced at the next convention. The politicians of the southwest are of the opinion that he is altogether too undignified to represent the state in congress, and though he will only ask for the proverbial second term, they will not be inclined to give it to him. It would appear that a decided opposition to Mr. Humphrey is being fostered in the "northwest" as well, and a strong delegation will go to the next state convention from that section bent upon turning him down. In verification of the above the following is quoted from the Island County Times. State Senator Ed. S. Hamilton of Tacoma has announced that he is a candidate for the office of U. S. Senator to succeed Senator Foster. This simple announcement settles Senator Foster's fate, and it will now be Piles vs. Hamilton, with chances in favor of the latter. Ed. Hamilton is strong all over the state, and if he gets the railroad support, as seems likely now, his chances for success will be good. Notwithstanding these facts, the Times believes the Senatorship should go to Seattle, for the northwest will back Frank Brownell for Congress and will undoubtedly land him. The northwest must have a real live congressman, and Brownell of Everett is the man we want. In commenting on the changing of our congressional roster an exchange has the following to say: "W. L. Jones has been mentioned for governor. Jones is in the right place when in congress, and should be kept there as long as the Republican party remains in the majority in this state. The same may also be said of 'Sunrise Cush.'" Permit the Pie-maker to add in conclusion that you make it unanimous. Seattle's honored member of the state's roster of representatives in the lower house of congress has not as yet been given an opportunity to demonstrate what he can do in the halls of congress, and it's very unfair to pass sentence on any one before he has been given a fair and impartial trial before a jury of his peers. Will E. Humphrey is alright, too. When the Big Bend Empire makes use of the following it voices the sentiments of a whole lot of Seattle folk: "State Auditor John D. Atkinson's boom for gubernatorial honors seem to be gaining ground, and we would not be surprised if he were the choice of the next Republican convention. While Mr. Atkinson says he will be a candidate for re-election to his present office only, we cannot believe that he would refuse the governorship if tendered him." Auditor Atkinson is, or should be, the best judge of his affairs, but if he would make up his mind to enter the gubernatorial race he has many strong personal as well as political friends on Puget Sound, who would take pleasure in helping him along. A great deal of fuss and furr have been scattered about over the Whittlesey shortage and it was all based on the statement made by Expert C. B. Grant. The whole thing has come to a head and Mr. Grant now seems to be very seriously in doubt whether or not there really is in existence such a thing as a Whittlesey shortage. If there is not then King county should sue him for damages. The county has been put to thousands of dollars' worth of expense relying on his statement and he should be made to become financially responsible for its outlay of funds in trying to recover from Whittlesey's bondsmen what neither Whittlesey nor his bondsmen justly owed. This thing of ruining the reputations of men in order to create a political sensation is a crime and in the opinion of the Pie-maker an almost unpardonable one. "I, personally, am an admirer of Senator Hamilton, and if a Pierce county man is to go to the United --- VOL. X. NO. 16 POLITICAL POT=PIE The determination of the business men of this city to be represented in the United States senate is more than plain to be seen from the way they have already organized to put their determinations into execution. The petition asking Hon. S. H. Piles to allow the use of his name as Seattle's candidate for United States senator was liberally signed by the leading business men of the city, and notwithstanding the remoteness of the time when the actual ballotting for a successor to Senator A. G. Foster will begin the enthusiasm heard on the street among the business men over the success of their would-be senator is rather remarkable. Nothing succeeds like success, and if those gentlemen will only keep the thing going until the proper time rolls round they may see their wishes crowned with gigantic success. But, gentlemen, beware "lest ye forget" that "soon ripe, soon rotten." Twice in the past have similar demonstrations been made months before the election time, which demonstrations completely exhausted themselves before the actual election came round. The Pie-maker believes Seattle should have the senatorship, and without equivocation he is for the Seattle man that can command in the very outset as much outside strength as King county can and will give him, and be he Piles, Furth, Wilson or even Harold Preston. Let's be fair to our town first of all this year, and endorse the man that can bring to us outside allies, and if we do, the fight is already won. \* \* \* Discussing some of the political prognostications of the Pie-maker, which appeared in last week's Seattle Republican, the Walla Walla Union says: An interesting bit of gossip comes from Seattle, and it is to the effect that Sam Piles, one of Seattle's candidates for the United States senate, has formed an offensive and defensive alliance with Governor McBride and George U. Piper, he of political fame in King County. Mr. Piles has been in a sense a railway lawyer, representing the Pacific Coast Company, a railway off-shoot, and it was Piles who made the closing speech for the anti-commission forces in the last state convention at Tacoma. If it ever proves to be true that Mr. Piles has tied up with Governor McBride and Mr. Piper, it places a peculiar aspect upon his candidacy, especially in view of the additional statement that Harold Preston is behind him, too. It has been frequently pointed out that "politics makes strange bedfellows," but this would be the strangest of them all. It may be a move to offset the candidacy of John L. Wilson, who is doing all he possibly can to worm himself into the affection of King County's organization. Some say that Wilson is the most talked of of the two, but the presumption is he is doing the loud work and Piles is still keeping behind the scenes. But some of us who may have Missouri instincts want to be shown before serious consideration is given to the reports of this peculiar combination. *** "Politics in the 'southwest' is not quite so brisk as in Seattle, still it is brisk enough considering that it is some twelve months before the next Republican convention will be held to nominate state officers and to make alliances for the next senatorial scrap," said a prominent politician from the southwest one day last week. "No candidates have announced themselves from that section as yet for any place, and, perhaps, none will do so, unless it will be a candidate for the position now warmed by the Hon. Frances W. Cushman. There is no denying the fact that there is much opposition to Mr. Cushman to be found in that section just now, and all because he, in the opinion of the politicians, has talked too much about other people's affairs. We realize that he is quite popular, but he will not find the same smooth sailing in the southwest at the next state convention that he has in the past. If, therefore, the opposition to Mr. Cushman can muster up strength enough, the southwest will have a candidate of its own, but who that will be I have not the remotest idea just now, but if an opportunity presents itself there will always be candidates enough. \* \* \* "Speaking about the feeling that has been sprouting against Mr. Cushman reminds me, too, that your * * * *** * * * * * * --- 8 PRICE FIVE CENTS DO IT NOW THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Needs your assistance today and not tomorrow.

States senate I would much prefer Hamilton to Foster, but I am not letting my enthusiasm overshadow the real facts in the case. The politician who thinks Foster is not without much strength in Pierce county is sadly mistaken, and, I am not too sure after all, if the railroad folk in Pierce county at least are not backing Foster instead of Hamilton. Then again if I remember aight it was the lumber interest in this state when Foster was first elected that stood like a stone wall behind him from the very first boom he received until he was elected and I feel safe in saying that that interest is still loyal to him and will push his candidacy for all there is in it. Hamilton is very popular, but he will remember that he had a red hot scrap on his hands when he has safely landed the Pierce county delegation in his vest pocket. Another point that you do not want to overlook is that Frank Cushman is as strong as either Hamilton or Foster and I am not too sure but that he is stronger with the people than either one of them. I am by no means a Cushman admirer, but the people not only in Pierce county but all over the state, are very partial to Cushman and it won't do for the next Republican convention to do otherwise than renominate him," all came from a well-known and distinguished King county politician one day this week and the Pie-maker feels more than safe in saying that he knew exactly what he was talking about. *** Despite the written denial of C. J. Lord, the Olympia banker, that he was not a gubernatorial aspirant and would not have the office, yet a campaign in Thurston county is being mapped out with a view of using his name for the governorship in order that the Madge-Scobey combine may be able to again control the politics of the county. "Of course we do not expect Mr. Lord to get the nomination at the state convention, but if our crowd can use his name to give them the county as A. J. Falknor was used in the last county campaign, it will help our crowd out of a bod hole just now and do Mr. Lord no harm," came from a Thurston county politician one day this week. "Mr. Lord has the money and if he will use it to carry the county and our side wins out in the state convention he can be taken care of by the boys after the next administration is ushered into existence." While the Pie-maker is only passingly acquainted with Mr. Lord, yet he does not believe that he will permit the use of his name under any such circumstances. If Mr. Lord has changed his mind and proposes to be a bona fide candidate for the gubernatorial nomination he is entitled to the same consideration as other candidates for that high office, but if he is not then it is hoped that he will nip such stories in the bud at once, if not sooner. * * * A grapevine dispute from Olympia announces the fact that the last issue of The Seattle Republican "created a great and hard sensation here. The general opinion is that such a combination would in the end be the sure undoing of all concerned." Don't be too sure about that, Mr. Man. Such a combination would make a remarkably strong team in King county and the Pie-maker is not too sure if it did not carry the county. If the scrap continues in Pierce county it seems more than likely that the Cushman-McBride forces will likewise sweep that county and with the two counties for the combination things would look good for McBride even if he was not nominated. * * * The Retail Liquor Dealers' Association meets in Seattle October 6th and 7th for a two days' session and at that time a strong state organization will be perfected. J. W. Morrison, who is at the head of the local association, says, "the organization is preparing to take an active interest in the politics of the state. We have the numbers and in as much as every legislature that meets always takes a fall out of the Whiskey dealers, why shouldn't the whiskey dealers try to protect themselves." During the visit of the association in this city the delegates will be banqueted and shown about the city by the local organization and will be given a good time generally. *** State Representative Carle, of this district, is making a strenuous effort to induce Senator Ankeny to visit the Duwamish valley with a view of getting a federal appropriation to dredge the Duwamish river from the mouth to a point above Black River Junction. It is said that Mr. Carle has the promise from the Senator that he would take a trip up Duwamish river, to acquaint himself with the true condition, before the next session of congress, that he might be able to have an appropriation recommended by the department and embodied in the general annual bill for the improvement of river harbors. Nothing that we can think of just now would be more advantageous to the growth of this rich and beautiful valley than to have our local waterway improved, so that the farmers' products could be loaded on steamers and other craft right from teh banks of the river. The amount necessary to dredge the stream would be insignificant compared with the advantages to be derived therefrom, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Carle will be successful. Our citizens, one and all, should join with him in his effort to induce the Senator to pay this locality an early personal visit.-South Seattle News. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Eighty-five per cent of the children of Japan are in school. Can this country make as good a showing? Ten million dollars is the estimated value of the output of the Klondike district during the past year. A little less than last year. When only a fire could find five dollars worth of valuables in Tacoma to destroy during the month of August, the "old town" is surely on the ragged edge. Andrew Carnegie says the United States and England will some day be one. Well, if that time ever comes it may be depended upon that the United States will be the one. Aguinaldo advises Filipinos to accept and support American rule as being much better for them than independence would be. Now will Bryan and the Boston antis be good. Washington's citizen soldiers are home again after a week's strenuous life at Camp Weisenberger. They have served their country valiantly for a week; now they must return to the humdrum of civil life again. C. M. Schwab, ex-president of the United States Iron and Steel Trust, is becoming generous, alle samee Carnegie. His beneficient instincts run to public school buildings, and he proposes to do all he can to increase their number and influence. Meeting mutton with mutton did not work well, and our Superior Court has been called upon to say "there has been altogether too much mutton for the community's good." In other words, to grant Mrs. Mutton an absolute divorce from Mr. Mutton. The Salvation Army has begun the much-talked- of invasion of feudland in Kentucky, and are being greeted in opened mouthed wonder by the benighted natives. A little publicity and Christianity cannot but have a wholesome effect upon these neglected people. Should the Seattle business men's candidate succeed in being elected to the United States senate, that person who doubts that the Evergreen State will be not represented in the senate by Piles of "dough" would be as much off his trolley as a street car without a trolley. --- The Hatfield family of Kentucky have settled the feud question for themselves. For half a century there has existed a deadly feud between them and a family of McCoys. The Hatfields have grown tired of it and have emigrated to this state and have located near Chehalis. An exchange, in referring to the difficulty the Democratic managers are having in getting a lamb for the slaughter at the coming campaign, and of the parties proposed, remarks that "they are all willing to 'rubber' and to shout, but they are not anxious to run and be skinned." The town of Frank, in Alberta, N. W. territory, which a few months ago was buried under an avalanche of rock from Turtle Mountain, is again in danger, and has been deserted by its inhabitants. They would better make it permanent, and seek some less dangerous locality. The water automobile has been introduced into the little world of swelldom sports in the East. A new fad, a small affair and all the rage. Out this way we still hold to the old name and call them gasoline launches. But "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Now comes a noted German historian who thinks he foresees the disintegration of the British empire, and in it the opportunity for Germany to step to the front as the leading nation of the world. In that event, instead of Brittania ruling the wave, it would be Germania is cock of the walk. St. Michaels, Alaska, is now connected with the outside world by wire. A wireless system now being installed will soon connect with Nome, and that far distant point will be in touch with other parts of the country, which will be a great boon to them and a source of satisfaction to all interested. One of the reasons why there are more saloons in Greater New York than in all of the Southern states combined lies in the fact that in the South the "moonshiner" furnishes the necessary aqua hellabus by the light of the moon, while in New York the saloons openly do the work by day and by night. At first blush it might seem a little extravagant to say that the winds are blind, but the following progression proves that they are: The wind is a zephyr, zephyr is a yarn, a yarn is a tale, a tail is an attachment, an attachment is love, and every one knows love is blind; hence the winds must be blind. In view of the fact that so many divorce proceedings follow the quick courtship of this country, perhaps the Bohemian twenty-year and over courtship is, after all, the safest way to avoid expensive divorce trials and newspaper scandals so common to this country. Some of you fellows not in a hurry might try it. The Farmers' National Congress has been holding its twenty-third annual session at Niagara Falls, N. Y., during the week. Three hundred delegates, representing thirty-eight states, have been in attendance. Reciprocity treaties, good roads, labor questions and governmental ownership of public utilities are the questions discussed. It is to be expected that the Democratic hen will "set" next year as usual; but there is quite a scrap evident over what kinds of eggs she will brood; but more than likely a compromise will be effected which will result in the same old nestfull—free trade, free silver and free soup. The first two are sterile, and cannot produce life, hence the other will fail to appear. Fowler things have happened than when Leonard B. gave up the editorship of the Commonwealth, but it was so long ago that it is rather hard for the oldest person now living to recall the actual incident. On the Wenatchee Republic he will be able to at least go the numerous fouls it has from time to time scored one better and each Saturday it will be Fowler than ever before. A peculiar case is reported in Alabama. Recently a couple of planters were convicted in the United States court of peonage, or holding Negroes in practical bondage. They were given penitentiary sentences, and now Negroes are sending a petition for their pardon. It seems passing strange that the very race who were the sufferers should be the first to ask clemency for the offenders. A singular case of luck, good or bad, as he may be able to make out of it, is that of a young Russian mechanic, who has recently fell heir to a fortune of £6,000,000. According to reports, the celebrated Russian, Hetman Doroschenko, who lived in the first half of the eighteenth century, and died in 1750, left a will by which his fortune was left to the care of the state for 150 years, and then to be divided among his direct descendants according to a scheme included in the will. After exhaustive search, the authorities have ascertained that the mechanic, Ivan Doroschenko, was entitled to almost the whole of the fortune, which assumed colossal dimensions through the accumulation of interest. Populism is so near obsolete in this country that the doings of its adherents, even where they have a semblance of life, excites but little interest or comment; nevertheless it is worthy of note that in Colorado they bitterly denounce the state administration for affording miners in the Cripple Creek district protection from a mob of strikers that would gladly tear them limb from limb if need be, to prevent them from working. Now comes the report that to General Cassius M. Clay, recently deceased, is due the credit for the purchase of Alaska from Russia, more than to William H. Seward, while he, Clay, was minister to Russia. It makes but little difference who did it, it was a good buy just the same, so good that England, with all her vast domains, is trying right now, with all the diplomacy or intrigue at her command, to get even a tiny little piece of it. The annual session of the Puget Sound Conference of the M. E. Church is in session at Tacoma, beginning Tuesday evening, and will hold over until Monday. There are a large number of lay delegates in attendance whose duty it is to elect lay delegates to the general conference which meets next year in Los Angeles. The general conference is the legislative body of the church, and is composed of an equal number of ministerial and lay delegates. It is the desire of all residents of Queen Anne hill and the outlying districts beyond, including Ballard, that the franchise for an elevated triple-track street railway will be granted. The scheme as outlined is not only desirable, but feasible, and will be popular and profitable. It is a necessity born of the rapid growth of the city and its environs. It is to be hoped the council will grant the franchise; subject, of course, to the proper rights and privileges of the city. Curtis Jett of Kentucky, who, with Thos. White, was found guilty a few weeks ago for the murder of J. B. Marcum, and received a life sentence, has just been found guilty, also, of the murder of Town Marshal Cockrill of Cynthaina. In the later case the death penalty has been fixed. This case has had the lime light of publicity streaming upon it for some time, and who can say how much this has had to do with the just verdict that has just been rendered. Socialists in America are wont to point to the rapid growth of that sentiment in Germany called by the same name, as an augury of what will be in this country. But the German Socialist has but little in common with the American cult. The governmental conditions are so very different that in seeking a change the German Socialist is but asking for some of the liberty enjoyed by all in this country. The only similarity between the German and American Socialist is in the name—Socialist. James Baine, recently convicted of larceny, has demanded a jury to determine whether he is "Hans phat is livin' or Yacob phat is ded," or to prove that he is not the other fellow. It was believed he was the same person who, as James Ryan, served three years for robbery. Under the operation of the new law as regards former convictions, it was quite material with him which one of the boys he is; but a cold hearted jury has decided that he is both of them at once. Hence he sorrows. Recently the P.-I. said: "Whoa, Mr. Weatherman, back up, this is not December." There was no use waiting until September to call his attention to the mistake, for it could just as aptly have been done in August or July. Puget Sound summers are generally "out of sight," and the newcomer, who came here this year to experience a real live Puget Sound summer, is now thoroughly convinced that they are out of sight, and if the recent one is a sample of all of them they will stay out of sight.

As nominal Governor of the Isle of Wight, she is also, with the exception of her brother, King Edward, the only member of the royal family who holds an official position of her own, While her chil- dren were younger she appeared little in London so- ciety, but during the past season she has been much at Kensington palace, where she has a suite of rooms, and has attended many social functions with her only daughter, Princess Victoria Eugenie. The latter will not make her debut, however, for two years, as she is only 16, The girl Princess was a great favorite with the late Queen, Princess Beatrice has three sons— Albert, Leopold and Maurice. She was married to Prince Henry of Battenberg in 1885. The Prince died eleven years later. They Live in Flats, One million five hundred thousand Chicagoans live in flat buildings and hotels. Ten years ago the number of people in this city living in this manner was 500,000, The flight from the dwelling to the apartment marks the greatest change that has ever come over the city. Chicago has the greatest percentage of flat-dwell- ers of any city in the world, Here are three opinions on this evolution of home life: “Apartment life, which is really the solution of a knotty problem brought about by the enormous in- crease in population, is, nevertheless, detrimental to family life, and makes real home life almost im- possible.” “The flat building is one of the greatest boons to the people of crowded cities, It has afforded im- munity from many malignant diseases and has given peop!e a more cleanly, more care-free and more healthy life?” “In this era of flats and apartments women are no longer drudges. They are given time and the oppor- tunity to study and to amuse themselves. The flat has brought about an increase in politeness and in consideration for the rights and comforts of others by bringing together under one roof a number of fam- ilies, where they must often meet.” wen division of Northeast Lancashire, and, success- ful by the narrow majority of five votes, held the seat until 1892, At the general election of that year he was defeated, but in the following year he was re- turned unopposed from the constituency his elevation now leaves vacant. During the South African war he served with his battalion of the Devonshire militia, and earned the C, B. In 1900 he was appointed Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. An exchange remarks: “We can not imagine how Eve could have listened to Adam’s suit when she knew that he hadn't one on.” We fear our brother reads his sacred history in about the manner a city editor does his country exchanges, or he would have noticed that the little matter of knowledge about the lack of attire did not manifest itself until after the apple-eating episode had wised her, and that was after the courtship days were over. It is quite evident, however, that she did not accept his “suit” because it had been tailor made. The increase in the number of women’s clubs in London is said to be attended by an alarming increase in the drinking habit, and the London World said re- cently that liquor drinking, especially creme de menthe, had grown to a grievous extent. At these clubs one sees more whiskies and sodas on the table at luncheon than one sees at men’s clubs, in which there is a marked decrease in drinking. The club managers, of course, deny these allegations, but they are known to be none the less true in the main. Dover street, Piccadilly, has now so many women’s clubs that it has been nicknamed Petticoat lane. With the energy that he has displayed throughout his ecclesiastical career, Pope Pius X has begun some important reforms, especially in the administration of Vatican finances, which promise greatly to reduce the expenses of the holy see, The first inkling the employes of the Vatican had of the spirit of economy animating Piux X was in the suppression of reduction of the fees usually granted to them after the election of a new Pope. Only the several military guards, of all the servants of the Vatican, received their distribu- tion of money, and only in a greatly diminished pro- portion from the usages for centuries, The noble guards, as well as the Swiss and the gendarmes, re- ceived only two-thirds of what they expected, and there was much grumbling in consequence.

Bishop Joyce recommends that a "chair of common sense" be established in all theological seminaries. We do not know so much about the need of such a chair in theological schools, but would suggest that the chief chair in Pulitzer's new College of Journalism be such an one. If some correspondence school would open such a department and get the editors of the country, a large per cent of them at least, to take the course, the public would be ready to rise up and call its originator blessed.

It has been 120 years since that war came to an end, and a soldier boy of fifteen at that time would thus be 135 years old if living today; but they are not living, and it is only because some of those who were boys at the close of the Revolutionary war, were married in their old age to very young girls that pensioners remain. Of these, five very old ladies, as widows of soldiers of the war of the Revolution still remain recipients of the generous bounty of Uncle Sam. Capitol Hill...

The Journal is a clean, progressive and thoroughly up to date paper and at its head a delightful gentleman.—Hardscrabble Herald." The article is all right from the Herald man's standpoint, but when the man complimented or flattered reproduces it in his own paper, it is an exhibition of cheapness that is disgusting.

As a result the question of revising the oath of membership in certain unions has been raised, making it second to the church. If any revision is made, do the job right—make it distinct that the laws of the land be supreme, and the allegiance of members is due first to "Old Glory" and all it represents, then it matters very little as to the order in which the other two stands. as OUR PRICES and TERMS TERMS ARE THE LOWEST The New York Press is certainly drawing on a very vivid imagination when it gives Grover Cleveland credit for the prosperity, or any part of it, that the country has enjoyed since he was succeeded by Wm. McKinley as president. In support of its contentions, it says Cleveland killed free silver. This is a misstatement of the facts; free silver was killed by the American voters who refused to follow W. J. Bryan into Populism. Then it adds that his actions made sure the election of the congress that passed the Dingley tariff act. While that is no doubt true, it is rather far-fetched to give him credit for it. A person who does an evil out of which, or because of which, good may ultimately come, is entitled to no credit for the good when it comes. It is a left-handed credit at best, but even that is not deserved by the ex-president. Pianos sold as low as $6.00 Per Month Sherman, Clay & Co. STEINWAY DEALERS THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS In a lecture on "Race Pedagogy," the other day a well-known sociologist, Dr. Stanley Hall, had the courage, which most of us have lacked, to say that the white man's civilization has proved a calamity to the savage. He instances "the peaceful Indians of the Canadian northwest, the Tasmanians, the Samo-yards of Siberia, the Papuans, the natives of Madagasgar, of Nicarague, of Hawaii, of Africa—many of them races with a wealth of tribal tradition and with institutions of a high order, who have nearly or quite perished from contact with the white race." Dr. Hall adds: BREWERY "The touch of white civilization is a doom and a curse to primitive peoples. Diseases harmless to whites are deadly to these dark skinned races; the vices of civilization are far more destructive to them. Our intercourse with Africa has been little but an unmitigated curse to its people." This is a heresy against the assumption of misguided philanthropists that the world needs the white man's civilization. Thus the philanthropist and the fanatic unwittingly become partners with demagogues in the crime of wiping from the face of the earth specimens of the human race as noble as any God ever created with white skins. We endeavor to force on tribal peoples our social system, our religion, and our whisky, and, in the name of humanity, demand that they swallow them all. The whisky is generally accepted, but the races are doomed to disappear as identities before the white man's blessings are acknowledged except by force. We ought to cease conquering, cease robbing, cease trying to civilize savages in a day —Chicago Journal. YES SIR! HERE'S THE BEER, SIR! RAINIER- THE ONLY BEER, SIR! SEATTLE BREWING & MALTING GO.

An Uunlucky Alliance. It is a curious, not to say absurd, combination of circumstances, yet it is a fact that the two forces in the economic world that are the most bitterly opposed and the fartherest removed, one from the other, are united in their opposition to the nomination and election of President Roosevelt to succeed himself. The so-called anti-trust forces are opposing him by trying to boom W. B. Hearst as a "trust buster," their chief argument being that Roosevelt does not enforce the anti-trust laws. The trust interests are opposed to him because, as one of its chief organs says, "Roosevelt's enforcement of the anti-trust laws has won for him the enmity and opposition of combined capital." Both classes want hard times to come to the people, with the hope that it will subserve their ends. The trusts want hard times that they may lay the responsibility at the president's door because he enforced the law, and the boomers of William Randolph Hurst want hard times that they may lay the responsibility upon the president because he did not enforce the law. The question is, are the people going to submit to such an alliance as this, for the defeat of a man in every way worthy of the position he holds and the people he represents? We believe not. Would Repeal Fifteenth Amendment. Senator Carmack of Tennessee believes the time has come for a repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution, and declares his intention to introduce a bill in congress to that effect. In most of the Southern states this has been done by state legislative enactment, but in order to give it a semblance of legality and at the same time not debar the ignorant "poo' white trash," the law is cumbersome and unsatisfactory. Such as it is it is in direct violation of the constitution, and there is always a possibility that it will rise up and vex them. So they propose to make a bold strike at the root of the whole thing, the fifteenth amendment. He does not hope to get such a bill through congress immediately, possibly not for several years, but it is his purpose to begin the agitation. Such a measure, so manifestly unjust, will never pass the American congress, but there is a hope that agitation of the matter may accomplish not what Senator Carmack and his conferees hope, but a far better result; and that is, an educational qualification, and a part of that education an ability to read, speak and understand the English language. Such a law is just and really needed to eliminate a lack of stability that is apparent. No Jewel Visible. In view of the Democratic platform condemnation of "Government by injunction," and the insane denunciations of the same, as has appeared in the party press from time to time, also of their professed abhorrence of capitalists and monopolists, the nomination of Tom L. Johnson as governor of Ohio is, to say the least, very inconsistent. He is a capitalist whose holdings run up into the millions, all acquired from monopolles and monopolistic ways of doing business, even to the extent of "artful tax-dodging." Though an apostle of the clans professedly opposed to government by injunction, he does not hesitate to seek the aid of the courts in the way of an injunction to beat the county out of the taxes levied against him. Certain taxes have been delinquent for all the years since 1894, aggregating over $400,000, and he went into the courts and succeeded in sloughing them off. Still he is classed by Bryan and his deluded followers as being a "real" Democrat. That may be true; perhaps, aye, no doubt he is, but the jewel that is supposed to be the accompaniment of consistency does not appear in his company. There has been more or less trouble throughout the South for transportation companies in the transporting of passengers, arising from the fact that so many white people refuse to ride in the same car with a Negroe, and "Jim Crow" cars have had to be used more or less. In Jacksonville, Mississippi, however, the Negroes have taken the matter in their own hands and are settling that, and incidentally some other questions as well. The Times-Union of that city, speaking of the event in a recent issue, says: "The North Jacksonville Electric railway was opened for business yesterday afternoon, and three of their cars were placed on the track, arriving at the corner of Clay and Bay streets shortly after 2 o'clock, where over 500 colored people were waiting to see the cars of the new line. Most of the owners of this road are well-known colored citizens, and the cars are managed by colored motormen and conductors. No sooner had the first car arrived at the end of the road than it was literally packed with colored people anxious to ride on the car line, owned and operated by their own race." With our banks, business enterprises, street railway, we will soon open all the necessary avenues to Negro prosperity. "We's gitting thar, sure." Carnegie's Libraries Speaking about libraries, Mr. Carnegie recently said: "I have helped found 760 libraries and have 800 more under advisement." This will make, say, 1500 in all. During last year he gave 158 library buildings, at a cost to him of $6,679,000, so the average cost of the buildings is $42,270 and 1500 of them will aggregate $63,405,000. Under the contract with Mr. Carnegie the cities receiving donations must tax themselves annually ten per cent. of the cost of the buildings to provide funds for their maintenance. This would be $6,340,500 every year, in addition to the interest on more than $30,000,000 paid by the cities for library sites. The cost to the cities will be $7,840,500 for maintenance. No small item, but money well spent, for a good public library in a community is a great blessing. All Lynchers Are Murderers. From no less an authority than Chief Justice Loree of the Delaware Supreme Court does the statement come which appears at the head of this article. In giving instructions to the grand jury that were to investigate the crime of lynching by a mob in that commonwealth recently, he said: "Lynching is a crime against the law of both God and man. Every wilful participant in such an act is a murderer. No man has a right to commit that crime because he believes or fears that some other person who is entrusted with the execution of the law will fail or has failed in the performance of his duty. Under the law we know what our rights are, and in the main we find that they are fairly attained and enforced. No human laws or human institutions are perfect. This no reasonable man will expect. Lynching and mob law, their promoters and encouragers, whether they be of high or low degree, should receive no favors at the hands of thoughtful and patriotic men. There must be government or non-government. The line of cleavage is clear. All history teaches that the prevalence of mob law is the end of free government. Obedience to law is the life blood of our republic. To you, the people look for the faithful, fearless and honest discharge of your duty. They ask nothing more and expect nothing less." The King and the Peasant. A pleasant story is told of the kindheartedness of King Edward, who, while on a motoring tour recently, gave assistance to a poor peasant woman. The story is as follows: While his majesty was driving in the direction of Eger he overtook an old peasant woman, staggering along under the weight of a huge bundle of chopped wood. Perceiving the difficulty with which she plodded along, the king had his car stopped and asked her where she wanted to go. On being told, the king invited her to jump into his motor car. She, however, seemed to regard the car with suspicion, and said she had never been in such a thing in her life. "Never mind," said the king; "now's your chance." But she still objected, and said she was too dirty to sit among fine gentlemen. The king would have no refusal, and, having overcome her scruples, she climbed into the car, and was whirled to her destination without the least idea who had befriended her. As the king set her down he pressed a gold piece into her hand. Endorse the President. The annual session of the African Methodist Episcopal church in Missouri adopted ringing resolutions endorsing President Roosevelt, which were in part as follows: "No president has occupied the White House since the days of the sainted and immortal Lincoln whose words and actions have done so much to encourage and inspire the Negro as President Roosevelt. We regard the actions and words of President Roosevelt, especially his action in appointing fit men to office, as the greatest stimulus the Negro has had in recent years to encourage and inspire him to make unabated efforts to become an honorable and qualified citizen, ready to take his place and do his part along with every and other citizen in our nation or commonwealth. As a church, we commend the President for his uncompromising courage and impartial attitude toward all citizens of the country over which he ably presides as an eminently successful magistrate. We wish to indorse heartily his administration, not only for his attitude toward the Negro, but for the broad and courageous statemanship displayed in every mat- ter that he has been called upon to decide. It is our earnest prayer that his life may be long spared and that he may be nominated and triumphantly elected as a sure guaranty of good government and continued prosperity." The National Irrigation Congress. The lapse of time from the assembling of the first National Irrigation Congress at Salt Lake in 1891 to the session just held in Ogden, is but a few short years, yet, measured by the national importance of its enactments, it constitutes an epoch in American history. During that period the gamut has been run in the mesh of irrigation by private enterprise for speculative dealing in water, the state cession idea whereby it was proposed to turn the public lands over to various states and territories, and various leasing schemes, under which the states would have secured control if not title to the public domain; finally the goal of national irrigation was reached and the nation is now at the inception of one of the greatest internal developments which any country upon the earth has ever undertaken. The eleventh session has been by far the most successful, interesting and important of any of the irrigation congresses. The legislature of Utah reviewed the matter with characteristic enthusiasm and made a generous appropriation, which was liberally augmented by public spirited citizens of the state. The newspapers of the country gave unusual attention to the convention in advance, and many of the metropolitan journals were personally represented. The wonders of irrigation and the vast latent power and resources of the west through its momentous aid to agriculture will doubtless be told again and again throughout the land as a result of the Utah congress. Socialism on Credit. For some years past the world has had nothing but glowing accounts from New Zealand and Australia respecting their several experiments in municipal government; and in view of all this the statement of Lord Lonsdale, reported in recent dispatches, comes with something of a shock. The country, he says, is over legislated; the politicians are overpaid; the system bars the way of progress; large financial interests will not enter the country; the workmen are cutting their own throats and a considerable exodus from Australia is probable; the political aspect of affairs is becoming worse and worse; English workmen earning twenty shillings a week are better off than Australian workmen earning fifty shillings. This is a severe indictment and it has especial weight, coming from a man of practical judgment and of wide democratic sympathies. Lord Lonsdale is evidently giving us a franker view of the situation than we had from the doctrinaries whose interest has been rather to exploit and to defend the Australian socialistic experiments than to present the cold facts. The whole scheme in Australia during recent years, while nominally at war with private capital, has been in fact based upon the existence of private capital, for in every detail, from railroad building to the curing and packing of rabbit skins, the experiments have been carried on with the aid of borrowed money. Whenever the local exchequer has run short, there has been recourse to the London money market, and it is only recently that London has begun to scrutinize Australian loans severely. Millions upon millions sterling have poured into Australia and New Zealand in return for island securities, and it is by the use of this enormous inflood of ready made capital that many amazing things have been done. Of course there is never trouble about government railroads and government docks, or government aid to the poor, or government pensions to old age, or government bounty in the ten thousand forms in which it takes in New Zealand and Australia, so long as money can be borrowed to pay the bills. We could all live in luxury and splendor, provide for our poor relations, go clad in fine raiment and glorified with jewels, if there was an unfailing supply of ready money from some outside source. This is precisely the situation of New Zealand and Australia. They have done marvelous things, but they have done them wholly upon credit. And the report of Lord Lonsdale is a painful suggestion that the day of reckoning is in sight.—Sacramento Union.

I'm not that sort— I will grow branches thick And be my own support!" Beware, O pearl of price, Lest you be cast to swine; O proud sweet pea, think twice Ere you refuse to twine!
