Samuel H. Piles first announced his intention of making a run for the senatorship from this state to succeed Senator Foster. It has been repeatedly published and given out that Mr. Piles would unquestionably have the entire King county legislative delegation at his back in the coming contest and that doubtless prompted some of the business men to sign a petition requesting Mr. Piles to consent to the use of his name for the senatorship and the subsequent willingness of him for them to do so. Recent developments do not bear out the first published statements concerning the hold-over senators for at a meeting held in this city last Monday evening it was decided by a unanimous vote that the hold over senators from King county would not support Samuel H. Piles for the United States senatorship. The candidacy of no other aspirant, however, was endorsed thus leaving the whole affair open for the present. Up to the present time no one in King county save Mr. Piles has announced his candidacy to succeed Senator Foster and it is now not probable that any will do so until after the next spring election, and, perhaps, not until after the first state convention has been held, which will doubtless be pulled off some time in April.

They decided by a UNANIMOUS vote that under no consideration would they endorse the candidacy of Hon. Samuel H. Piles for United States senator. To that extent what was decided upon by the senators is herewith made public. The senatorial candidacy of no one else was either endorsed or even considered by the senators." SEVEN HOLDOVER SENATORS.

Humphries h Who was endorsed by his fellow members for the gubernatorial nomination. Dr. Smith's entre into the gubernatorial race makes two aspirants from King county, Judge John E. Humphries having already announced his candidacy some weeks ago. It is being whispered about the streets this week that Harold Preston is again grooming himself, owing to the multiplicity of senatorial candidates that will be in the field by the time the next legislature meets, to again enter the senatorial contest. If he gets in the mix up at all it will be as a compromise candidate between the McBride and the anti-McBride forces. There is no doubt but that the McBride idea will have a number of hard and persistent workers in the next legislature from Eastern Washington, and if there is anything like a deadlock Mr. Preston believes the King county "traitors" would rather come to him than go to Hamilton, and especially so if they can be convinced that he can get all of the McBride strength in the state. It is barely possible that there will be members in the next legislature from Eastern Washington who will go to Olympia determined to vote first, last and all the time for McBride for senator, but even those radicals, Mr. Preston believes, he can by the assistance of the governor himself, bring to his support if "the King county bunch of traitors," as Col. Blethen and Mr. Preston's friends rejoiced in calling them since the Eighth legislature adjourned, will only fall in line for Preston. \*\*\* The actions of the King county hold-over senators in not endorsing the candidacy of Hon. Samuel H.

Incidentally it was learned by the Pie-maker that it was decided by the senators that it was altogether too early to open the campaign and what they would do when the legislature met was a matter that would be taken up, discussed and decided at the proper time. Along the lines mapped out by a prominent politician in last week's Seattle Republican, to the effect that it was counting without your host, if you thought Senator Foster was going to lay down without making a desperate fight to succeed himself, the Senator writes to the Union as follows: "As the number of possible avowed candidates for the United States senate from this state increases, the question is naturally enough asked if those who have already declared themselves candidates will continue in the race. I shall continue to be a candidate regardless of the multiplicity of aspirants. My friends have pledged their support, both in Pierce county and throughout the state at large, and I know they will continue loyal. They have requested me to seek to be returned to the senate, and I agreed months ago to do so. "I have not changed my plans or my course and shall not. It has been my aim to serve the state faithfully and efficiently; I have labored incessantly and the record shows for itself what has been accomplished. If I had not been successful in congress I would not ask to be returned. I am positive also that any of the gentlemen seeking my seat in the senate would expect and would be entirely justified in expecting to be returnd if their record warranted it." Elmer E. Todd, chief deputy in the office of the prosecuting attorney of this county, has resigned, which is to take effect November 1st, and Hon. Charles S. Gleason, who has twice been elected to the legislature from this county, has been tendered the position made vacant by Todd's resignation and has accepted the same. Mr. Gleason has been mixed up in politics more or less for a number of years, if not ever since he has been in the county, and has some polit- Charles S. Gleason. ty, and has some pical following in the Eighth ward from whence he hails, but it is very doubtful whether or not he has as much real strength in a way as has Todd. * * * On Mr. Todd's resignation hangs a tail. Some weeks ago Mr. Scott learned, so goes the story, that Elmer Todd himself was a candidate for prosecuting attorney to succeed Scott. He at once went to Todd about the story and he (Todd) denied it in most vigorous terms. Notwithstanding his denial the rumor continued to pass around the political quid nunc that he was trying to supplant his superior. Whether or not Mr. Scott gave the rumor any consideration the Pie-maker has not been informed, but outsiders did do so and continued from time to time to warn Scott of the talk. It may be that both Todd and Scott got thoroughly tired of he talk and mutually agreed to stop it by Todd quitting the office. * * * Another rumor is going the rounds of the politicians at present to the effect that Todd quit the prosecuting attorney's office for the purpose of becoming a candidate for representative in the forty-fifth legislative district to succeed either Dilling or Jeffries, but perhaps the latter, and as he is to go back to Mr. Piles' office, from whence he came prior to going into the prosecuting attorney's office, as an assistant, it will be just to his hand, as he can the more consistently work for the election of Mr. Piles to the senate. Elmer Todd has quite a few strong political friends, but it can not be said that he is popular with the people, and since he has been in the prosecuting attorney's office quite a few unpleasantries, from which Mr. Scott has to some extent suffered politically, could be traced to his chief deputy. *** About the most distressful person in Pierce county during these strenuous days is "Secretary" Sammons. Hamilton forced Sammons on Foster and together they are chargeable with most of the blunders of which Foster has been guilty. And now Sammons can not hold his job and be true to Hamilton, and he is useless to Hamilton if he don't hold it. And the worst part of the situation is that a light is beginning to break on Addison G. \* \* \* Senator Addison G. Foster has announced that he is in the senatorial contest to stay, and that he is "determined to die in the last ditch." Well there is no objection to the old gentleman's selection of the last ditch if he feels he will rest any easier in that particular one. * * * It is reported that Senator Foster is much concerned over the state of Ed Hamilton's moral character. It seems to us that we have heard ---- but then the Republican is no mud slinger, so the senior Senator from the state of Washington is safe so far as we are concerned. * * * The following from the Hartline Standard, one of Douglas county's leading journals, is self-explanatory: "State Auditor John D. Atkinson, aside from being a candidate for renomination, is favorably mentioned as a possible candidate for governor before the Republican state convention next year. We have known Mr. Atkinson for more than fourteen years, and can say without any hesitancy that if he should become the standard-bearer on the Republican ticket the people of Chelan county and the entire state will have a man to vote for whom they can look up to with pride and honor." THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Word comes from various parts of the state that certain politicians heretofore identified with the railroad interests are breathing out threatenings and slaughter against Congressman Cushman. If the railroads are wise they will stop this sort of thing. They will have their hands full attending to their own immediate interests without meddling with outside political matters. * * * So far I have failed to find any faction of the Republican party that was opposed to the nomination of Senator J. G. Megler for Lieutenant Governor. Several candidates for the office have appeared in Eastern Washington, but it is doubtful at this time if any one of them can carry his own county. It is a little early to select candidates, but it looks like "Uncle" Joe would have the solid Southwest as well as King and Pierce behind him. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Having succeeded in killing the Panama canal proposition, it is now time for the railroad lobbyists to take a change of climate. Nicaragua is about the locality that will suit their health the best just now. Mr. Charles S. Mellen has "grabbed loose" from the presidency of the Northern Pacific railroad, but it is believed the company will be able to maintain a train service between St. Paul and Seattle just the same. Washington football players seem to be satisfied with the chances, or danger to life and limb, under the old rules, and will be satisfied to let well enough alone. So those who want to see a really up-to-date mixup on the gridiron will have to look further. If any one can figure out what good such meetings as that of the International Association of Structural Iron and Bridge Workers, being held in Kansas City, is doing for the cause of labor unions, they surely are entitled to the floor and a respectful hearing. Over 1700 persons in Ballard signed a petition to the city council remonstrating against the renewal of a saloon license next door to the postoffice. The petition was laid on the table and the license granted. Evidently those men are not looking for a re-election. With the state fair in progress at North Yakima, the valley fair at Puyallup, a fruit fair at Walla Walla this week, to be followed by a fruit fair at Spokane next week, and various county fairs held and to be held soon, Washington may be considered to be a very fair state. The order by the street car company restricting the number of passengers who may ride on front platforms is a good one. If they will now restrict the number that may ride on any one car, and then see to it that enough cars are put on to comfortably accommodate the travel, a long suffering public will be grateful indeed. The finding of embalmed milk in Seattle and the publicity given to the matter has set officials to work in other cities and it is being discovered that formaldehyde is used quite extensively by dispensers of lachteal fluid, in other places as well as in Seattle. Turn on the lime light everywhere and rout the fiends, horse, foot and dragoon. The principality of Servia certainly does not regard the life of royalty very highly. Of the army offices charged with the murder of King Alexander and Queen Drago, whose trial has just been completed, the ring-leaders get two years imprisonment and the loss of their commissions and lesser conspirators one month's imprisonment. The Democrats of Ohio are surely "up against it" for an issue when the only question they can suggest for a joint debate in the campaign now on is the public record of Senator Hanna, and he is not a candidate for office at this time. A far more fruitful subject, and more to the point, would be a discussion of the private acts of Tom Johnson as compared with his public utterances and avowed ideas of reform (?). Now that the correspondent of the London Times asserts that in his opinion only the presence of the American squadron in the harbor at Beirut prevented a wholesale massacre of Christians in that locality, it is hoped those newspaper writers who grasp every pretext to vilify the administration will find something else to write about. Not that they are injuring President Roosevelt any, but for their own credit. Whether it is to be, or not to be, war in Bulgaria and Macedonia is still an open question. The monkey and parrot time between these countries and Turkey is still going on, however. The moving and mobilizing of armies, broiling, massacre and fighting are being indulged in, and according to news dispatches the war cloud is lifting, hovering and lowering with a rapidity that reminds one of an Edison moving picture. It seems to be in order to make suggestions to our neighboring cities—Whatcom and Fairhaven—as to what name to choose for the consolidated city they hope to make out of the two municipalities. The better part of wisdom would be to take the name of the larger, Whatcom, but if they cannot agree on that, they might make it a combination of both, Whathaven? with the question mark a distinct part of the name. Tom Johnson of Ohio has out-Bryaned Bryan, and is today the most spectacular ass before the public. Our own Jim Ham has become lost in the meshes of the "plutocrat octupus," and Bryan seems to be taking a semi-rest, or else has run down; but Johnson is decidedly "it" for the time being; but his time upon the stage is short. His defeat for Governor of Ohio will kill his chances for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Poor old Democracy is getting "jarred" on every side. It has been industriously at work for some time trying to stir up the labor vote in opposition to President Roosevelt, but right in the midst of it comes a statement from a leading labor leader, Simon Burns, chief mogul of the Knights of Labor, that Roosevelt is the best friend to the laboring classes that ever occupied the presidential chair. Thus another stuffed club is punctured. There are Joneses and Joneses, and if our "Yakima" Jones depends on the Seattle Times to inform him which one of the boys he is, he is liable to get badly mixed, for it does not seem to know whether he is Jones of Arkansas or Jones of Nevada, but the public are satisfied to know that he still is plain, honest, hard working W. L. Jones, and hope that he will be kept in congress until his hair and his beard, should he elect to wear one, shall become as white as are those of Jones of Arkansas and Jones of Nevada. Louis Nixon, at one time hyas tyee of Tammany Hall, has announced himself as a candidate for Mayor of New York. Speaking of the matter, Mr. Nixon has said: "I desire to make it clear that I am willing to make a stand with those Democrats, however small their number, who believe that the Democratic party of this city should lead and not follow in the forward march of municipal reform." By putting it in that way, it is quite likely that Mr. Nixon will find himself as the "man without a party." The action of a Chicago labor union, wherein it demanded that certain work done on a new school building should be taken out and destroyed because done by non-union labor, has not increased the feeling of sympathy for unionism, to any great extent, in the Windy City. On the other hand, a large number of taxpayers request the board of education to take a determined stand against such foolishness and a waste of the people's money. Such actions on the part of organized labor is fast weaving the rope that will swing unionism into oblivion. The principle is all right, but the practice, in many instances, is all wrong. The two-by-four editorial writers in this state, when short on ideas from which to evolve copy, whet their pencil and take a stab at the railroad companies. The Seattle Republican is not an apologist for railroad or any other class of wrongdoing, neither does it see any excuse for an eternal warfare of words against a recognized necessity and agent for the good of the state. What would Washington be today but for the railroads, yet some of these writers act as though they were a curse instead of a benefit. Why not be consistent? Some of the western cities which are making an effort to increase the number of their parks might get one from New York at a reduced rate. That city seems to have at least one more than it needs, in the person of Samuel Parks, he of walking delegate fame. Still it would seem it might be more profitable to keep him in the east as a winter resort, as he is successful in making it "warm" wherever he goes. It is quite likely, howere, that the State of New York will find a place for him at Sing Sing, as an additional attraction to that popular resort. In this connection it is suggested that as Dugdale is looking for a new park for his baseball operations for next year, he might try this same Sam. He certainly is a warm member and might prove a winning card. ELECTION FOR COURT HOUSE AND CITY HALL BONDS. Realm of Religion. Realm of Religion.

He indorsed the Kansas City platform and then repudiated his principles by indorsing a gold Democrat as the party candidate for the United States senate. His consistent purpose in these inconsistencies is to hold together all party elements and convert the party into a socialist organization. He has been able to retain the support of Bryan, who has always been a socialist first and free silverite secondarily. With the waning of the silver issue the socialist principles which lay back of the silver movement with the populists naturally become prominent, and by its appeal to these the Tom Johnson seeks to obtain a fresh basis of fusion." It is doubtful if Johnson is himself a socialist at heart, but he is willing to play any sort of a game for the sake of votes for his own advancement. The Ohio campaign thus becomes of national interest, and on its outcome, possibly, depends the future policy of the party. Mr. Edward Brady, a well known Seattle attorney, returned this week from a six months' visit in Europe. While absent from the city Mr. Brady took unto himself a handsome bride and it was a wedding tour that took him across the waters. Mr. J. W. Conant, the well known Bailey Lunch Counter proprietor, returned a few days ago from a short visit with relatives in Cincinnati. If it be true that J. A.

'There is no disposition to excuse or apologize for those dairy- men who use poisonous substances in the milk they sell, but the question naturally comes up, are they the only ones responsible for the death of so many innocent babies from this cause. Nature never intended that children should be nurtured from a nursing bottle, and are those mothers who shift the responsibility to that over- worked instrument wholly blameless for the lives snuffed out by a mixture of milk and embalming fluid? / The case of W. A. Miller, foreman in the government printing office at Washington, has been séttled definitely and finally, so far as the President is concerned. A delegation of leading labor lead- res called upon the President a few days ago and pleaded their cause, but Mr. Roosevelt could see no reason for rescinding his for- mer order to reinstate him. The matter os unfitness, alleged as one reason for his dismissal, the President said must be settled in the usual method. It seems that after years of service his unfitness has only become apparent since dismissal from the labor union. ‘The school board of the city of Kenosho have set a pace that all others should follow. They have passed an order debarring from attendance upon the publie schools all pupils who are victims of the cigarette habit. The principal of the schools of Kenosha has just issued an edict ordering the expulsion of all cigarette fiends, and his action will be backed up by the board of education. The action of the principal is meeting with opposition on the part of the boys and from tobacco dealers, as might have been expected. ‘This is a move in the right direction and should be applied here in Seattle, It would no doubt create a miniature rebellion, but the sooner started the sooner over. Such action is needed for the benefit of the pupils themselves, many of whom might, as a result, give up the pernicious habit; also as an example for the younger ones who have not yet contracted the disease. All socialists are not ignoramises, but all ignorant nincompoops are very apt to be proclaiming themselves as socialists. ‘Cause why??? Socialism stands for an upsetting of existing conditions, and with it comes a hope that a larger portion of the good things of this earth will fall to their lot than they are able to pluck from the world’s opportunities under present conditions. An example of the wisdom, or lack of it, as displayed by these deluded persons, is seen in the statement of the editor of the Prosser Record, when he professes to see no difference between the man who, with pick and pan, digs out a large amount of gold from mother earth, or he who makes a counterfeit coin representing the value thereof and passes it to his neighbor in exchange for the necessities of life. To a mind so dense and egotistical as must be the Prosser man’s, judg- ing from this statement and the motto, ‘It speaks for itself,’? which is kept at its masthead, it is useless to try to explain, all others will not need an explanation. Labor organizations which have for so long a time been ag- gressive and dictatorial, will soon be forced to stand up and make a square, open fight for their existence. They are fast being placed on the defensive by counter organizations, foreed into existence by the arrogance displayed by organized labor. The publie has always been in sympathy with the principles of organized labor, but the re- cent aetions of many of these organizations has created a feeling of disgust, not of these principles, but of the actions of leaders. Var- jous organizations of manufacturers and employers of labor have from time to time been perfected to protect the rights of the organ- izers, and incidentally the general public. Announcement is made of the federation of such association at a recent gathering in Chi- cago. The object; as announced, is to protect and promote the in- terests of the employers and the independent workers of the coun- try by all legitimate means, The combined capital represented is given as $1,000,000,000. It behooves organized labor to begin to get reasonable in its demands and not provoke a war with such a combination. Bishop Turner of the African M. E. Church, says: ‘‘This nation, or its aggregated people, will have to open a highway to Africa for the discontented black man or the Negro question will founder this government.’’ President Roosevelt says that ‘‘the future of this country is safe because of the common sense and spirit of justice of the great mass of the American people.” When doctors disagree what are we to do? We are inclined to believe that Bishop Turner has allowed his solicitations for his people to stampede his better judgment. It is not understood that the black man is discontented. He is proverbial for his contentment in the eireumstances in which he finds himself, However, a good many of them have been aroused to try for better things, and are getting them, too, and there is the root of the present agitation. The whole trouble comes from the South, where the whites want the Negroes to remain in ignorance, hence in servitude. Just what the outeome will be does not appear, but in the words of President Roosevelt: ‘The future of this country is safe because of the common sense and justice of the great a Bal. peas ehanic i) Pilla dannetadon of the MeOnnan : Capitol é Hill...

Perhaps the most remarkable instance of land clearing ever known is to be accomplishled to make room for the new Pennsylvania Railroad depot in New York city. In this Western country rocks and trees and stumps are removed to make way for civic improvement, but in the metropolis great buildings—dwellings, stores and one large church—must be razed and carried away. Four blocks, aggregating 400 buildings, are to be thus cleared by demolition. To do this will require six months' work of at least 200 laborers. The material will be taken by the second-hand dealers and sold for cheap buildings in the suburbs. As the brick are estimated at 60,000,000, the task is not an easy one. The evicted tenants number 11,200, which is greater than the entire population of the city was after an existence of a century and a half. But the tearing down process would, at this distance, seem to be only the beginning of labors for the company, as this entire area, according to newspaper accounts, is to be excavated to a depth of forty feet—a vast undertaking sufficient to daunt any courage but that of the Yankee variety. A look into the subway in the northern part of the city will show what stubborn rock must be contended with in this mighty effort to plant an all-rail station in New York. At the best, three years must elapse before the new station will be ready for use. This, with the tunnel, will require an expenditure of $60,000,000—a good price to pay for three miles of track and a depot; but the New Pork Central boasts of its all-rail entrance to the city, and—well, there is nothing competes like competition. Allusion to this tunnel to be reminds us that the great subway that for years has disfigured the streets and endangered the lives of dwellers in Gotham, is now so far completed that a man can now walk in it the entire distance from the general postoffice to Harlem river. In places it is practically finished and ready for the rails, but much work remains to be done before it will be in running order. The power house to be built for the tunnel at Fifty-eighth street is to be the most expensive of the kind in the world, costing about $7,000,000. No Race Question There. Dr. Douet, assistant bishop of Jamaica, has recently written a letter to the Boston Herald on the race problem, which should be carefully read by every Southern who is honestly looking for a proper solution of the many difficult questions presented in the South. Dr. Douet has lived in Jamaica for forty years, and certainly should be familiar with conditions present there. Jamaica, unlike the Southern states of this Union, is poverty stricken, and there is no apparent prospect of any recovery from the long depression under which the island has suffered. It recently suffered severely from a hurricane, aggravating conditions already sufficiently bad. In Jamaica, the whites are in a far feebler minority than in any Southern state. There is none of the prejudice against social recognition of the negro in Jamaica which most Southerners profoundly believe is necessary in order to "keep the negroes in their place," thus preventing conditions in the South from being more aggravated than they are at present. Perhaps it is by reason of this fact, perhaps despite it, but there is no racial problem presented in Jamaica, such as there is in the Southern states. There is no disorder or crime, such as Southerners profess to fear; the typical crime of the Southern Negro finds no manifestations in Jamaica. The two races live side by side in peace and amity. Property, life and virtue are as safe in Jamaica as anywhere in the world. Bishop Douet's judgment is that this condition of affairs is due entirely to the fact that every man in Jamaica, white, mixed or black, knows that the laws are honestly enforced and that his rights as a citizen are secure under British laws, impartially administered. The blackest and weakest has no reason to suspect that he will be discriminated against on account of his color, either by the law or by lynchers. Therefore he lives on terms of amity with his white neighbors, and is content with his lot. Being treated with exact and impartial justice he shows himself law abiding. Now, it is a fact that the Negroes in the South are not so treated. Is there any good reason for assuming, as well-meaning Southerners do assume, that the American Negro, under equal laws, impartially administered, would not be as reasonable and as good a citizen as the Jamaica Negro? In other words, is there any Negro problem in the South other than that which the Southern whites have fatuitously created for themselves?—P.I. Who Pays the Freight? The opposition press is just now having a good deal to say as to who bore the expense of President Roosevelt's western trip, as well as divers other trips that he, from time to time, has made. The question is not raised in good faith. If it is merely for information they could no doubt get it direct from Mr. Roosevelt. The object is one of their frantic efforts to get an issue for the next campaign. They propose to bring the question before congress with the hope of an investigation and the working up of a prejudice against the President in case it is found to be that the trip was at the expense or by courtesy of the railroad companies. The question is foolishly vicious. It matters little to the public who "pays the freight;" what they wanted was to see the President, and every one was glad of the opportunity. The government makes no provisions for such trips, and it could scarcely be expected that the President should bear such a tremendous expense, out of the niggardly salary he is allowed. So about the only way possible for such trips to be made is for the transportation companies to stand for it. If they are willing to do so, as an advertising expense, who can object? That they can well afford to do so as a slight compensation for the increased business brought about as a result of the policy maintained by the present administration, all will admit. In fact it is eminently proper that the railroads should extend such courtesies if they wish to, but it would be more fitting if congress should make provision for such trips. If, however, such a proposition were made, these same croakers would be the very ones who would oppose it. Booker T. Washington Coming. It's a bit of cheering news, amid all the present day anti-Negro agitation in this country, extending from Maine to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, to hear of some of those people, who would wreck the race by having it return to the slime and slum of slavery, inviting a noted Negro-Prof. Booker T. Washington—to travel the expanse of the entire continent to address and instruct a body of those of the white race, who stand at the fountain head of our civilization. The Washington State Teachers' Association has extended an invitation to Professor Washington to address the association at its next annual meet, and it is highly probable that he will do so. "And a little child shall lead them," and "the lion and the lamb shall lay down together." A Negro is to disseminate knowledge to the proud Anglo-Saxon, and they will rejoice. Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Daylight Draws Near. An old axiom runs thusly: "The darkest hour of the night is just before day." That there is truth in it, those who have had occasion to watch and wait for day through the long hours of the night will verily testify. If such is true as to the coming of the light of day, why is it not equally true as to the emerging of the American Negro from the darkness of hundreds of years of bondage to enlightenment and Christian civilization? Just now in the United States the Negro is the cynosure of all eyes. His every act is either condemned or condoned. When emancipated he was to get "book larnin'" if he ever hoped to be anybody. He has to some extent gotten that, and now he is told to throw his textbook education away or he will be exterminated. Under such conditions what is he to do? If the above quoted axiom can be made applicable to the benighted Negro race of this country, certainly his day of sunshine as a man and a brother is about to break in the splendor of a myriad of suns. Useless Waste of Energy. For Negroes to assemble in their church and hall edifices to discuss whether or not congress should repeal the Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution is, in the opinion of the writer a waste of valuable time and an exhaustion of energy that could be expended much more advantageously in the upbuilding of the race. First such talk is only indulged in by persons seeking cheap newspaper notoriety, which they hope to turn to their financial gain, as does Ben Tillman. Secondly, the Fifteenth amendment was written on our Constitutional tablet with the blood of a hundred thousand patriotic Americans, and their sons will sacrifice twice as many more lives rather than see the work of their fathers go for naught. Thirdly, if such clap-trap was treated with silent contempt by the Negroes they would show the world they were possessed of more good, hard sense than a whole South full of Tillmans and Carmacks. Nigh Akin to Barbarism. "So long as black brutes rape white women, just so long will Negroes be lynched in wholesale lots in this country," feelingly comments a newspaper correspondent. Granted! But is not this pencil pusher drawing more largely on his own prejudice against the black people of this country than on the actual facts? If a statement recently made by President Roosevelt counts for anything, the raping of white women by "black men" during the past nine months was the least of the causes for which Negroes have been lynched. Not to exceed one-third of the Negroes lynched this year were charged with rape. Any offense committed by a Negro in the South, and even in places in the North, can only be appeased by the Negro's heart blood being made to flow therefor. There is a spirit of intolerance against the Negro in this country that is running riot, and that places the dominant race dangerously near the barbaric state. Teach Them American Manhood. Some newspaper, public speaker or high state official is always declaring his willingness of seeing that the Negro is justly treated; providing, always, he, the Negro, behaves himself. In the name of high heaven, who on earth comes nearer behaving himself than the American Negro? Behave himself, I say! Why, he has had that drilled and drubbed into him ever since he has lived in America, and how could he do otherwise than behave himself? What some people seem to think is true behavior in the Negro is for a half a hundred of them to stand up like posts and permit one Caucasian to lampoon the life out of the lump lot of them to his satisfaction, and any resistance on their part is pronounced by the pulpit, the press and the politician, gross misbehavior and nigger uprising. Teach the Negro American manhood, and then white scullions will not be so ready to pounce on him and declare him not behaving himself when he defends his American manhood. A Pair of Visionaries. Now that Bishop Henry McNeil Turner and John Temple Graves have both come to the conclusion that the white and the black folk of this country must be separated—the latter to be deported to Africa—in order to maintain and preserve the stability of the United States government—why not the two form a close corporation and make application to Uncle Sam for the job of sending the Negroes away? Bishop Turner's recent outbreak on this "separation" question is neither new nor startling, for he has pounded away on that visionary theory for the past two decades or more, and during all that time has not enlisted enough followers among either class to give his theory—Negro deportation—even a passing consideration among the great horde of ideal dreamers that are almost hourly turned loose on the unsuspecting public. A Wage Comparison. In not advocating the idea of the Negro being deported to Africa, the writer would not have it understood that that "twenty-four cent wages per day" cuts any figure in his mind. For in none of the Southern states proper do the Negroes—the common laborers—get on an average above thirty cents per day, and do not get that in cash one month with another, but are forced to wait until the end of the year for their money, and in the interim buy such things as they need on the "credit system," which is about 50 per cent above the regular cash price for the same article, thus reducing that "thirty cents per day" to at least twenty cents per day. The African native, considering the simplicity of his daily wants, that earns twenty-four cents per day and gets it, will, in the course of twelve months, earn at least forty dollars more than the wage-working Negro on the plantations of the South. From a financial standpoint Africa, to the American Negro, especially those living in the South, would be a paradise in comparison to his present abode. Readjustment vs. Deportation. The Negro is an American citizen, and a very acceptable one at that, to the rank and file of the other part of American citizens; and being thus both he and his neighbors are very well satisfied, and they both join in one chorus, "the Negro is here to stay." There are and will be spasmodic outbreaks and clashes between the races from time to time, but such isolated outbreaks will soon adjust themselves and the same normal conditions, even in that immediate vicinity, will soon be in operation. In order, however, to avoid such clashes and outbreaks, we believe the overcrowded Negro communities of the South should be relieved and a part of the Negroes migrate to every state, section and locality of these United States, including even her territorial and insular possessions, and thereby give every white person under the stars and stripes an opportunity to do his or her part in solving our "race problem" of this country, if such there be. Driving ten million souls from the land of their fathers might be a pretty theory, but it would work very poorly in practice.

Jones, a well known resident of Ravenna, a Seattle suburb, in reply to an editorial opinion of the Seattle Daily Times, bearing on the repeal of the Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States, speaks as follows on the subject: An editorial appeared in the Times, date September 25th, that does not meet the approbation of the people of Washington nor of the United States. Said article commences with the announcement that Frank Carmack, of Tennessee, has said that he will introduce in the Senate at the coming session of Congress a proposed amendment to the constitution, to repeal the fifteenth amendment. The said article went on to state that said amendment to the constitution had produced the unfortunate conditions in the Southern States that have prevailed since the civil war, and (in the exact language of the author) "that it originated and was adopted during a period of great political excitement—when men's calmer judgment did not control their insane desire for revenge and their mad determination to humiliate the white population of the Southern States, by making them the subject of Negro domination." In this discussion it is needless for me to allege that that amendment was not adopted during a great political excitement, nor was there any desire for revenge, or to humiliate the white people of the South. Abraham Lincoln, in the civil war, at an opportune time to clear our nation from the great disgrace of slavery to make our immortal Declaration of Independence mean what it declares, and as a "war measure," declared that the African race should be free. And during the rest of the war no braver soldiers in our nation marched under the starry flag than these liberated people. They were then fighting for the flag, for liberty and the Union, while these Southern whites were fighting to destroy. It was no "political excitement" that induced Congress to pass the fifteenth amendment—but a calm deliberate determination to carry out the teachings of the Declaration of Independence and the proclamation of noble Lincoln, and give to that deserving people the greatest attribute of liberty under our form of government, the right of the elective franchise, without which liberty would be a humbug and failure. It is preposterous to talk of striking out the 15th amendment. It concerns a race of people who are not here by their own act or consent. They are native born American citizens, and have earned their rights by fighting for the flag and the Union, and are entitled under our government by that proclamation and amendment to all the rights as freemen of our land. As well pass an amendment to our constitution that the Irish, the French, German or Italian descendants who are now citi- PERSONAL. Mr. J. E.

Gibbs, and the following is a short extract from the same: "The colored man," said he yesterday, "will gain recognition by industry and thrift. This is a commercial age and the Negro must face conditions as they are. I believe that industrial training will make the Negro more adaptive to circumstances. The very fact that he is ostracized in the South will tend to make him more self-reliant. There are some Southern people who want the Negro to be obsequious, but on the whole the South is ready and willing to give the Negro a chance to prove himself a worthy citizen. Most of the talk that you hear about the South being hostile to President Roosevelt on account of his opinions on the color question is mere political gas." Judge Gibbs does not believe in the wholesale colonization of the Negro in Africa. There is no better place for the Negro than in the United States, if he will get down to business, he declares. He deplores the resort of the whites to lynch law, as well as the crimes that are given as an excuse for lynching. "There would be convictions in most cases anyway," he says, "and lawbreaking is never to be countenanced by whites or blacks. Lynching does not act as a deterrent; if anything it has a tendency to make the Negro more lawless, as he sees that he can not get justice whether guilty or innocent."—S. F. Outlook. Mr. Gibbs was once well known in this city, he having many years ago been a prosperous shoe merchant in Victoria. zens by naturalization, shall no longer have a voice in the control of the destinies of our nation. No American citizen can be deprived of his rights of life, liberty or the elective franchise without crime has been committed, and Congress will never attempt it. The said article went on to state "that the time has come when the intelligence and property interests of a state should say who should be voters." This is certainly a new innovation—this sentiment, "State rights," was the cause of the civil war—and that notion should have died with slavery. The Constitution of the United States is, and will ever be, the supreme law of our land, declaring who may be citizens of this government, and having made citizens, cannot deprive them of their liberty and rights without cause. Again the article says: "They (the Negroes) have their shrewd and scheming leaders, who can deliver blocks of votes," etc., and therefore should be disfranchised. I wish to ask if blocks of votes among our white people in the North are not every election delivered by shrewd politicians, combinations and corporations. The State of New York is Republican outside of New York city, but the political leaders of the Democratic party handle the foreign element, that know nothing of our government, and the slums and dives, and send up a majority of hundreds of thousands to be met by the honest voters of the state. In fact a few political leaders all over our nation today control elections—they do it in convention here in our own county and state. And millions who vote in our nation are no better qualified than the Negro. The fact is the Southern States—several of them—are now in a state of rebellion. They have passed laws, in violation of our constitution, depriving the Negro the right to vote, and they want to let their constitutions stand, and destroy the Constitution of the United States. The fact is undened that the Negro now is not enjoying constitutional rights—where he is not forbidden by law, he is intimidated by brute force, and he is represented in Congress by men he had no voice in selecting. At every general election United States marshals should be sent there backed by the army of this government to enforce the laws of the United States. There is no doubt in some of the Southern States, where the Negro is in a majority, it is a very unpleasant state of affairs. But the Negro was there when our government gave him a vote, and if the minority of white people don't like his society, they can move to a new country, for there is no power in our government that can move the Negro. Colonization by the voluntary choice of the Negro may solve the problem, for our constitution can but will never be changed.
