Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The SEATTL POLITICAL POT=PIE If the next Republican county convention, which elects delegates to the next state convention, and which nominates candidates for the Ninth legislature, instructs for any particular person for United States senator it will grievously blunder and will be in line to lead its legislative servants into the same fatal political pitfall as have other Republican conventions in King County. When public servants are instructed to do certain things that certain results will be attained by being placed under ironclad rules and given no opportunity to do anything else lest they be branded as "traitors" they are handicapped from the very outset and are unable to do even the next best thing for their county when they find it impossible to carry out their convention instructions Running back over the political history of King County as to the part she has played in the election of United States senators from the Evergreen States, the Pie-maker is reminded that no senatorial aspirant for whom the county instructed its legislative delegates to vote first, last and all the time succeeded in getting votes enough to be elected when they got to the legislature. In 1902 the county convention instructed its legislative nominees in case they were elected to vote for Hon. John B. Allen first, last and all the time. The legislature convened the following January and after a whole session of balloting failed to get the requisite number of votes to be elected, and King County's first senatorial instructed delegation was turned down and her political supremacy in the state began a decided decline. King county's next attempt to elect a United States senator by instructing her legislative nominees in convention assembled was when an overwhelming majority of the representatives went to Olympia with their hands tied hard and fast to Levi Ankeny. The battle raged fiercely for many weary weeks and King county's delegation with the exceptions of F. P. Lewis, Fred A. Wing, Solon T. Williams and A. J. Goddard stayed by Ankeny until the last ditch was reached, and in spite of her numbers her candidate was defeated and her influence in the political maneuverings of the state again sadly impaired. The instructions were ironclad, but they did the man for whom they were forged no service, for John L. Wilson was elected at the eleventh hour, thereby leaving the county without representation in congress. Not yet satisfied with instructing her members of the legislature by ironclad rules to vote for a senatorial candidate first, last and all the time, with a blare of trumpets and a flare of flags in 1900 the King county delegation went to Olympia to elect Thomas Jefferson Humes to the United States senate whether the other part of the state was or was not willing. Mr. Humes was not only not elected, but the worst enemy in the state to King county's commercial interests was elected and all because those ironclad instructions from the county convention made Mr. Humes complete master of the situation and he refused to release the members that they might make terms with some one else and thereby get something for their county out of the wreck. All of us now know that Humes was defeated and Addison G. Foster was elected, and King county suffered another awful political defeat. Harold Preston was instruction number four and he was likewise defeat number four. The county convention went politically mad when a resolution was offered instructing the legislative nominees in case they were elected to have no second choice for senator, but vote for Harold Preston until he of his own accord released them from further doing so. Aspirants for the legislature were subjected to all kinds of indignities and had to repeatedly go before the Preston tribunal and swear allegiance to his candidacy lest they be defeated either in the convention or at the polls. One candidate declares that it was a daily duty of his to be summoned to the Preston headquarters to sign a new oath of allegiance. Each district convention received prepared preambles, resolution and ironclad instructions for Preston, but in spite of them and in spite --- VOL. X. NO.18 \* \* \* * * * \* \* \* * * * E REPU SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1903 of the fact that a fifth of the entire legislature was from King county Mr. Preston was defeated and once more King county became the political laughing stock of the state. It would seem that too much instruction has been the source of all of King county's political troubles. Surely after all of the repeated defeats herein enumerated of King county's instructed delegations her next convention will not follow in the wake of four other conventions and formulate a lot of ironclad senatorial instructions for some aspirant and thereby make it impossible for the members todo other than sit down and vote for a candidate whom they know has not a ghost of a show of election and again see a commercial enemy of Seattle elected. For once let the members exercise their own judgment in the selection of a candidate. If perhaps they see it to be impossible to elect one man then they can turn to another. Hon. Jacob Fruth could have been elected last time if the delegation had have been free to have gone to him in a body at the opportune time. Let a hint to the wise be sufficient. Let it be understood that the Pie-maker has not written the above in the interest of any one senatorial candidate over another from King county. The Seattle Republican, its editor and proprietor are for King county and the King county candidate that can show her legislative delegation the requisite outside strength to make his election even probable he is their candidate. It's the height of folly for rival candidates from King county to invite factional differences such as would make it impossible for neither one of them to be elected when they could just as well allow the legislative nominees to be made without regard to their senatorial feelings and then try to elect that man from King county that has the outside strength equal at least to the King county strength. When once powerful King county thoroughly understands herself then the balance of the state will come nearer understanding her. It's the simple rule of three, which will always solve the most difficult problems if you will first solve the rule. One W. H. Doolittle, he of free silver and "Mt. Tacoma oranges" fame, has visited King county in the interest of Senator Foster and had himself interviewed in a local Democratic daily. Doolittle says Foster is a great man, but that the people do not know it yet. That is where Foster beats Doolittle. Doolittle is not a great man and the people are "dead next." The Republican for some time has insisted that Governor McBride had determined to rule or ruin the Republican party of the State of Washington and his conduct during his recent visit to the Colville Fair seems to bear out the contention. During his visit the Governor entirely ignored the Republican organization and in turn was ignored by it. The Governor consorted entirely with Democrats and spent most of his leisure in consultation with Martin J. Maloney, one of the chief henchmen of George Turner. If the old Turner-McBride combination, which deadlocked the legislature and prevented the election of John B. Allen in 1893, is not renewed either openly or secretly in the next state campaign the Pie-maker is no prophet. Governor McBride never has been considered a Chesterfield in the realm of political manners. His exploit in forcing himself on the county convention of Spokane county, the then home of John L. Wilson, even at the risk of disrupting the Republican party of that county, is well remembered as is his performance later in the campaign in visiting Walla Walla, the home of Levi Ankeny, and delivering a speech which he knew would be most offensive to that gentleman. His latest exhibition of political bad manners is his ostentatious visit to Colville and the advertising of the fact that he "would pay his respects" to State Senator Stansell. This was followed by a bitter personal attack on the record of Senator Stansell which did little to increase the prestige of the Governor in Stevens county. It is a pity that nearly four years of official life have not taught the Governor the dignity and courtesy that is supposed to invest the occupant of the gubernatorial chair. John E. Humphries, of Seattle, who claims to be a candidate for Governor, is a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows, K. of P., W. O. W., Elks, K. O. T. M., O. --- --- --- --- --- --- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR. 29 1952 JBLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS of W., U. A., A. O. U. W., the Grange, the Methodist church, and the United Undertakers, and he expects to poll the vote of these various organizations. Now if he would only join the multitudinous Smith family we see no reason why his nomination and election should not be made unanimous.—Kalama Bulletin. * * * The following interview which appeared in the Spokesman-Review of October 1st is but another view of the already much-complicated political situation in this state so far as the senatorial election is concerned: "It is hard to say whether Mr. Foster will remain in the race," said State Senator Edward S. Hamilton, of Tacoma, today. "At your last interview with him did he not indicate to you whether he would be a candidate for re-election or not?" was asked. "No, I cannot say that he did. I have fulfilled my part of the agreement, and it remains to be seen whether he will fulfill his part or not." "When was this agreement made, recently or at the time of Senator Foster's election?" "Partly at the time of his election, and more recently, last spring," replied Mr. Hamilton. "What was this agreement?" "It was with reference to the chances of his re-election. If matters shaped themselves in such a way I was not only not to be opposed by Senator Foster, but was to have his support. When matters did shape themselves in this way, I announced my candidacy. I think that I am politician enough not to have become a candidate if there was no chance of success. The matter of chances of re-election was to be left to himself, myself and our friends, and there were many who asked me to enter the race before I announced myself. "I do not expect to see an avowed anti-railroad man try for the senatorship. I do not expect to see Preston make the race. I think the fight lies between myself and Senator Wilson. For that reason I do not expect to see the railroads take a hand. Either one, I believe, would be satisfactory to them. "No, I do not intend to oppose Mr. Cushman, and I do not expect him to oppose me; I believe it would be poor politics. I think we will have a temporary truce. We have not had any understanding about the amtter." *** John L. Wilson, ex-United States senator and proprietor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, visited Aberdeen Friday, and was warmly greeted by his numerous friends here. Grays Harbor will always have a kindly feeling for Senator Wilson, owing to his successful efforts in congress for the improvement of the harbor. Chehalis County Vidett. * * * Senator Foster is sanguine of his re-election to the Senate. As the lumber business has been exceptionally good during his term his qualifications for the Senate have very materially increased.—Olympia Capital. *** The attempted Senatorial boom for S. H. Piles at Seattle is likely to prove a boomerang. The seven hold-over Senators from King county held a meeting the other night and unanimously voted against the indorsement of Piles, the chairman, Senator Hemrich, declaring himself in favor of John L. Wilson.—Aberdeen Herald, --- It seems that Sam Piles' Senatorial cake is dough and will remain of that plastic material after passing the oven. In other words a sufficient number of hold-over State Senators from King have repudiated the job to premise its defeat without further consideration. Who is in the background is not announced, but Piles' rejection is by no means suggestive of a paucity of candidates.—Washington Standard. *** The King county Senators have thrown a bomb that rather shatters Samuel H. Piles' chances for United States Senator to succeed Mr. Foster. If Mr. Piles' home Senators will not support him how can he expect to succeed?—Buckley Banner. A newspaper man in a neighboring village thinks that he has discovered a new mount or peak in this state, and has given it the unique name of "Mt. Tacoma." That's enough to make even Mt. Rainier smile, let alone the government officials. Jews, it is claimed, never turn their backs on a piece of money, but Representative Levy does not seem to want $25,000 dead easy damage money against certain printing concerns, as he has ordered his suit for that amount dropped. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Senator Platt may have been a mighty boss in days gone by, but it won't go now, for he is to soon be married. Dayton, in this state, is to take a whirl at the carnival business October 13 to 17, under the auspices of the W. O. W. For fifteen cents a highwayman in Montana got ten years in the penitentiary. That's almost a case of not paying for what you get. The population of the Bellingham Bay cities, according to Polk's directory estimates, is for Whatcom, 19,500, and for Fairhaven 6,000. Now that W. J. Bryan has become a father-in-law by the marriage of his daughter Ruth, it is quite time to cease referring to him as the "Boy" orator. The gamblers in this state do not seem inclined to give up and "be good." Nothing short of a term in prison for some one or more of them will satisfy, so it seems. Its only eight months more before the St. Louis Exposition opens its doors for bankruptcy. This is said advisedly if previous expositions are taken as a criterion. There are 440 shingle mills in the State of Washington, with a daily capacity of 43,000,000 shingles. In 1902 there were over 5,000,000,000 shingles shipped out of the state. Alaska may prove to be a great agricultural country, but the turn-up-and-pea-crop will doubtless be the chief crop among the fortune hunters in Alaska for a good many years yet to come. Thank God, the deadly formaldyhyde has not as yet been found in dangerous quantities in the air we breathe, but it doubtless will be if the chemists are only given a little time to make a test of it. If the necessities of life included brains, some people would come very near starving.—Daily Bulletin. Try a diet of fish, brother, perhaps that would help you. It has been recommended as a brain food. President Harper, of the Chicago University, suggests Mayor Low, of New York, as good presidential timber. The suggestion will be pretty generally seconded, if it is to be kept in statu quo for four years yet. Colorado's gold output, it is reported, has already fallen off two million dollars. With a few thousand soldiers having access to the mines at the point of the bayonet the wonder is that the entire output has not fallen off. It seems like overdoing the law business when one meets the following: "Hon. Demosthenes Lawyer, County Judge of Schoharie, is ready to open court Monday." The above item came from a New York state paper. If more girls would have their pictures taken with a potato-masher in one hand and a frying-pan in the other, instead of looking down at a rose, there would be more marriages, more happy and cozy homes on this globe.—Ex. The Olympia Capital says: It having been decided that slot machines can run, what is to be done with the graduates of this primary department of gambling if the higher institutions remain closed? We give it up. It is beyond our ken. Blackmailing has indeed assumed tremendous proportions when it takes to threatening a transcontinental railway, or a large portion of it, with annihilation, if a large sum of money is not "dug up" for the benefit of a small proportion of the "submerged half." Summer transportation in and to Alaska is about over. The Yukon and other streams will be closed soon, and traffic with Nome has about ceased. All localities seem to be well supplied with provisions and inhabitants are ready to enter the long winter months well equipped. Fifteen new indictments brought into court by the grand jury in the postal investigation is another knock out blow to the anti-administration organs who have been so persistently proclaiming the whole thing would be squelched and officials whitewashed. Too bad to disarm them so. Since Alaska was purchased by the United States in 1867 it has exported fish, furs and gold to the value of $150,000,000. More than twenty times what it cost. At the rate it is developing it will not be long until its annual output will be as much, and it will include many things besides fish, furs and gold. The labor carnival at Spokane just closed was a failure from a money standpoint. They raised $3,770 locally to help the thing along, but when all debts were paid they had just $6.40 left to help build their labor temple. Carnivals may be all right for some things, but as a money maker they are very uncertain quantities. Because of the failure of the last legislature to provide funds for the state exhibit at the Portland Lewis and Clark exposition next year the commission are forced to raise $10,000 to insure the work of getting together a creditable exhibit. Commercial organizations and public spirited persons will be expected to donate this money. The appointing of athlete Lyttleton as Colonial Secretary in the British Cabinet to succeed Mr. Chamberlain may mean that Premier Balfour hopes to have something doing in the colonies. On the other hand, it may be well for him to have a care that his new secretary does not, Nero-like, athlete while the colonies go to the bow-wows. We hear a great deal about vast sums of money having been lost on change, on exchange, in great trust formations, etc. An exchange raises the very pertinent question, Who gets all this money that is thus lost? Money, the substance, is not obliterated; if it is lost to one person another must have it. A very nice question in ecomonics is thus raised. The Seattle Star has made a good fight against murderous dairymen and embalmed milk, and deserves a good deal of credit, but the praise should come from others, not from itself. The way it is "patting itself on the back" is "rubbing it in" on its readers in a way that is disgusting. Its self praise is being carried so far that it has become scandalous. The Chicago Inter Ocean says the ancient name of this town was Eschikagow, but the forefathers dropped a few of the consnoants, so as to give the young thing a chance. It is lucky that they did, else there would never have been a great city where now stands that mighty metropolis. Such a name as Eschikagow would stunt the growth of any ambitious village. The chance to view the big pumpkins, fat pigs and pretty babies at county fairs has been coming so thick and fast for the past few weeks that the politicians have been compelled to live very strenuous lives. Sampling pumpkins, praising pigs and kissing babies somehow seems to be a very pleasant occupation, just as soon as a man gets office struck. Queer, isn't it? General Frederick Funston has approved the findings of the court-martial which tried Major J. B. Goe, Nineteenth infantry, at Vancouver barracks, on a charge of drunkenness. Major Goe pleaded guilty to the charge and the court sentenced him to be confined to the limits of his post for eight months and to forfeit $50 per month of his pay during that period. The United States grand jury sitting at Spokane has returned twenty-four indictments for violation of the federal law, mostly for selling liquor to Indians. Many of them pleaded guilty and were fined. Adam Schmidt, of Walla Walla, an Ankeny henchman, was indicted on ten counts charging him with perjury in connection with the naturalization of foreigners prior to the recent city election. The announced weakness in the lumber market has a pleasant sound to those who have been putting off high. The lumber market has a pleasant sound to those who have been putting off building operations because the price has gone so high. The lumber dealers seem to have been imbued with a get-rich-quick idea and have shoved priced altogether too high. Why not be reasonable, gentlemen? Live and let live. It is announced that an Eastern arm have secured a tract of tide land at Smith's Cove and will erect a large and thoroughly well equipped natatorium. One of the features will be a swimming pool of salt water heated to a pleasant temperature by a system of steam pipes. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, and no doubt such an opportunity within our city will be taken advantage of by very many, and it will become a popular resort. Will wonders never cease? A Democratic exchange, whose editor is especially busy in trying to find something to say derogatory of President Roosevelt, actually commends his words and final decision in the Miller case; that is, such commendation appears in his paper, but we are fain to believe that the comment must have been added by the office cat while "ye editor" was taking his afternoon "wink," because it is so inconsistent with his usual studied disapproval of all things Republican. Election laws which have for their object the elevation of the suffrage and the elimination of the ignorant and corrupt elements of our citizenship are to be welcomed whenever passed. And such laws will never directly or covertly draw the color line, for ignorance and corruption are not confined to any one race. But election laws framed palpably for the purpose of creating partisan majorities are objectionable in every way, and in conflict with the spirit if not the letter of the constitution.—Walla Walla Union. The temperance crusade seems to have been inaugurated by the railroads. The penalty for tipling, on or off duty, is dismissal, but it should be made more severe. There should be a law making it a felony for any man to take charge of an engine when he is under the influence of liquor, or to take a drink while he is on the deck of a locomotive. No man is in full possession of his faculties after he has taken one drink. The railroads do not regard an engineer as safe who will even enter a saloon.—Saturday Spectator. Okapi is the name given to a recently discovered animal, in the Kongo Free State, in Central Africa. It is a giraffoid ruminant and differs from the giraffe by its deerlike form, comparatively short neck and fore legs, and the absence of horn in females. The color is very striking, the trunk being velvety reddish, the haunches and upper parts of the legs marked with whitish stripes, the forehead vivid red, and the cheeks yellowish-white. It is about as large as a good-sized deer, and "its flesh is said to be excellent eating." It connects the giraffe and certain extinct forms of the same family. Since the new rule by the street car company, restricting the number of passengers that may ride on the front platform, was promulgated, it is not an uncommon thing to see a car loaded with anywhere from one hundred to one hundred and fifty passengers held up for half an hour, more or less, while eight or ten gentlemen (?!-) stand, dog in the manger like, each refusing to vacate, down to the limited number. The restriction order is all right, but to avoid these foolish delays the conductor should be given police authority to compel some one to move, or revise the order and allow no one on the front platform, or better still, put on cars enough to handle the travel without so much overcrowding. The year's consumption of tobacco in the United States alone includes 7,000,000,000 cigars, 10,000,000,000 cigarettes and 280,000,000 pounds of manufactured tobacco. The one item of smoking and chewing tobacco, exclusive of cigars, cigarettes and snuff, registers an annual over-all value of more than $500,000,000. In addition, England smokes 6,000,000,000, Japan 3,000,000,000, and China 1,500,000,000 cigarettes every year. The outside cigarette puffing burns up 45,000,000 pounds of tobacco and puts about $4,000,000 into the band account of the American grower.—Ex. That sounds good until it is remembered it takes a corresponding amount out of the bank account, or pockets, of American citizens who get no substantial benefit in return. MAKING A MAN. Hurry the baby as fast as you can, Hurry him, worry him, make him a man. Off with his baby clothes, get him in pants, Feed him on brain foods and make him advance. Hustle him soon as he is able to walk, Into a grammar school; cram him with talk. Fill his poor head full of figures and facts, Keep on a-jumping them in till it cracks. Once boys grew up at a rational rate, Now we develop a man while you wait. Rush him through college, compel him to grab Of every known subject a dip and a dab. Get him in business and after the cash, All by the time he can grow a mustache. Let him forget he was ever a boy, Make gold his god, and its jingle his joy. Keep him a-hustling and clear out of breath Until he wins—nervous prostration and death. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Publishes the POLITICAL NEWS AND COMMENTS of this state every week.

It is now announced that Brooklyn is the first place when a Young Men's Christian Association building has been erected by a street railway company for the use of its employees at the expense of the company. "Soulless corporations" do not waste money on sentiment. Hardheaded business sense is correctly understood to be the mainspring of their actions.

If one is drawn to another peculiarly, there is a reason, or a cause, for it on both sides. When a magnet is held near a bit of iron, even a rusty nail, the iron is drawn toward the magnet, and they cling to one another as if they were parts of each other. But if the same magnet be held near a large mass of putty or a bit of soft wood, there is no response. There must be steel or iron on the one side to give the magnet power on the other. True union, or indeed true affinity, is a result of inherent quality in the one drawing and the other drawn. The best human fellowship is an evidence and a result of God-given characteristic on both sides for which we should be ever grateful. (Ram's Horn.) The best fears no test. Toleration is not liberty. Love is the incense of life. The more of a pup the more dogmatic it is apt to be. Those who turn their backs on the false face the true. Persecution blows out the candle of pretense. Motive is more than method. Sunshine in Daily Life. Did you ever stop and think how a cheery word spoken by wife or husband in the morning as the husband goes out to the busy cares of the day, will follow the one spoken to through the entire day? It may be some word of compliment from the husband about the "good breakfast" provided by the wife. It may be a kind suggestion from the husband: "Don't undertake too much work and get sick. I hope the time will come when I can hire some one." On the other hand, how much heart-pain can be caused by a snap or snarl at the breakfast hour. The words of fault-finding will ring in the ears the livelong day. As you begin the day let the sunshine into the soul, and don't be selfish about it, but let a little out now and then in direct reflection upon those about you. Smile as you pass by.

Well, it needs to go up a few more stories and then your school will be truly high. If it did your school rooms would not be so crowded." Politics is not the only thing in this city world that "makes strange bedfellows," as certain ones patiently awaiting the return of the successful Alaska miner will verily testify to. The few days' heavy rain the first of the week made the hordes of ladies, who at once had pressing business on the streets, look short and catchy, but it made the men look long and lonesome. “Dig the ditch, and dig it in ninety-four,” was a catchy campaign cry, but it was not done. Restless Lake Union, however, says, “Dig the ditch, and dig before 1904, and break loose for a starter.” The reason we know that “that house is haunted” where the State Liquor Dealers' Association held its recent banquet is because “spirits” were so numerous and so plainly seen with the naked eye on that occasion. “Is that wreck ready?” bellowed the artist down the speaking tube to his cartoonist. “It’s a wreck,” laconically came back.

In explanation of why Bremerton was placed un- der the ban when similar conditions prevailed elsewhere, Assistant Secretary Darling has said: ‘The conditions there at Bremerton were not to be compared with those at the Brooklyn yard, for in- stance. The Brooklyn yard is adjacent to a great city. At Brem- erton the situation was easily controllable, and we thought it ought to be taken in hand at a stage when the undertaking was feasible, without allowing the conditions to go from bad to worse. I am very much pleased that the outeome has justified our poliey.”” ; Capitol z Hill... Nature's most favored spot for lovely Resi- dences.

LUMBER EXCHANGE BUILDING PHONE MAIN 60 Between the trust problem, the labor problem and the Negro problem the country has plenty of things to solve.—Walla Walla Union. These problems are nearer solved than perhaps we think, ‘The backbone of the trust and the labor problems are already brok: en by their own weight, and neither are the menace they were a few months ago; and while they will remain to harass the pub- lic, for a time at least, yet the evils they have produced will ad- just themselves, by a proper adherence to laws already provided. ‘And the Negro problem is more imagined than real. ‘Treat the Ne- gro in the same way that others are treated, with the same rights privileges and responsibilities before the law, and an opportunity to be or not to be ,as he chooses, and the race problem is settled. tree tents Sr ice aye ee YOUR PIANO OUR PRICES | TERMS ARE THE ‘“OWEST $6.00 Per Month Sherman, Clay & Co. Kansas school boards, who essayed to put a ban upon courtship and marriage, on the part of the school ma’ams while in line of serv- iee, seem to have reckoned without their host. Not only did a pro- test go up from those who thought their personal liberty assailed, but the womanhood of the state espoused thé cause of their barred sisters, and in response to that ‘fellow feeling that makes us won- drous kind,” put their matronly heads together and at the school election just held, the lords of creation have another intimation that, although man may propose, it is woman that disposes. As a result, for at least one year, women, in many cases, and in others men not opposed to women enjoying her God-given privilege of being courted, provided a courter seeks her, will sit upon the school boards of the state, ‘The women of Kansas are not so slow after all. The Demoeratie party seems to haye gathered hold of the wrong horn of the dilemma. It is not a man to run for the Presi- dency they need; it is an issue with which to go before the people. Once they have an issue, something that means something, some- thing that has virility, a promise of some real live tangible prinei- ple or idea of government, distinct from a mere opposition to the Republican party, and which at the same time gives promise of bettering the conditions of the people and business interests of the country, once these are found, the matter of a man, the man for the nomination is easy of settlement. But therein is the difficulty. The only two issues they have been able for years to present that seemed for a time to promise anything were free trade and free silver, These are both dead and with them, in very truth, the Dem- ocratie party. The only trouble is it does not seem to be aware of its own demise, or, realizing it, it continues to stalk about to avoid funeral expenses. THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY # TONGS »* Notwithstanding our Republican friends are shouting them- selves hoarse over the good times we are having, it seems that Wall Street had another feverish experience Monday, which indieates very plainly that the financial nerves are at a high tension and capable of collapse at any moment that would give an emphatic denial of existence of conditions that must necessarily underlie true prosperity.—Standard, Olympia. Our Demoeratie contemporary is begging the question again. ‘The degree of prosperity to which the country has come under the beneficient Republican policy, during the past seven years, is such that the ups and downs of Wall Street have but little effect upon the country at large. Under conditions of general prosperity, stock gambling has flourished during the re- cent years, as all legitimate business has also done. For reasons entirely foreign to general business conditions, stocks and bonds took a tumble a few weeks ago and went seurrying thither and yon. This was scarcely noticed in legitimate lines of trade, and if for some reason there should be another “eollapse,’”? as the Standard predicts, it will have no more effect than did the former, despite the desire of the Demoeratie party that it should, that they might have somewhat to make political capital out of. The prosperity un- der the present administration is too stable to be affected by the ups and downs of Wall Street gamblers. gd él 4 Q SS CO Ps EG Z8 EH a yee) La} YES SIR! HERE'S THE BEER, SiR!

A contemporary advertises a lodging room for a gentleman twenty-two feet long and eleven feet wide. A joker in an eastern paper tells of a man who in a fit of rage kicked over a hive of bees, and then spent a week suffering the stings of remorse. An Iowa paper makes the startling announcement that "a car load of bricks came in for a walk in the park. An English bishop owned a portable bath tub, which he failed on one occasion to take with him on a pastoral visitation. When he returned he found the house maid had used the beloved tub. Calling her into his study he said kindly, but firmly: "Mary, I do not so much mind your using the tub, but what I object to is that you should do behind my back what you will not do before my face." A young lady from the country was visiting relatives in the city. During the course of a conversation she said to her city cousin, "And were you never in the country during the season of husking bees? "No," she replied. "The idea! How do you husk a bee anyway." So Have We All. Brooklyn Eagle—I saw a woman in the street car open a satchel and take out a purse. Close the satchel and open the purse. Take out a dime and close the purse. Open the satchel and put in the purse. Close the satchel and lock both ends. Then she gave the dime to the conductor and took a nickel in change. Then she opened the satchel and took out the purse. Closed the satchel and opened the purse. Open the satchel and put in the purse. Closed the satchel and locked both ends. Then she felt to see if her back hair was all right. And she was all right. And just as sweet. When a man asks a young woman to wear a dress he likes to see her in, she might as well prepare her answer to the "old, old story, ever new." It is not considered good form to ask the pork packer's daughter to "render" something on the piano. Just ask her to get busy with the ivories. An Indiana paper announces that a lady, candidate for school director "is stripped for the race." How shocking. "May I print a kiss on your lips," I said, And she nodded her sweet permission; So we went to press, and I rather guess We printed a full edition. "But one edition is scarcely enough" She said with a charming pout; So again in press the form was placed And we got several "extras" out. An insane woman fell from a second story window, lit on her head and isn't crazy now. In California a cripple fell down stairs and hasn't complained of his rheumatism since. They are both dead. He Has Made Good. The Portland Oregonian a northwestern copperhead paper, says in a long editorial: "The Negro Must Make Good" and the howl has been taken up by the Southern press. In the darkest hour of the slaveholders' rebellion 200,000 Afro-Americans came to the assistance of Northern arms and after saving the Nation proceeded to "make good." Ignorant, they took up the spelling book and in 35 years the percentage of illiteracy had dropped from 95 per cent to 48 per cent. That's making good! Without property of any kind the race began to accumulate and in one generation the assessed value of personal and real property as shown by statistics had mounted to $1,000,000,000. Isn't that making good? Cotton is still king and two-thirds of all the cotton raised in the world is produced by the black labor of the South. That's making good! One of the assistant librarians in the Library of Congress after years of investigation finds that Afro-Americans are the authors of more than 2,100 books and if those written by men of "colored" blood in other countries were included, the number would reach at least 2,600. It is evident that the Afro-American author has made good. Before the war, there were not half a dozen Afro-American surgeons and physicians even among the free Afro-Americans of the North; now there are thousands commanding incomes of from $1,000 to $10,000 per annum. One of these, a surgeon who lives in Chicago, was the first to sew up the heart of a living man. The Afro-American surgeon and physician has made good. An Afro-American artist has painted pictures so well that several of his productions have been purchased by the French government and now hang in the Louvre. That's making good. When a message comes over the telephone, its transmission is facilitated by an improvement on the original Bell receiver, invented by a pure Negro. Isn't that making good? The lightning express comes thundering by, drawn by a powerful locomotive whose working parts are lubricated by an oil cup invented by a black man. That's making good. An Afro-American lawyer who makes $20,000 per year is a rar avis, but he exists. There are no others in his class but hundreds of the race are practicing law making fair incomes and 'making good." Thirty thousand Afro-Americans are teaching in the separate schools of the South and about a thousand in the mixed schools of the North. They are all making good. The Afro-Americans of Richmond, Virginia, have more than $1,000,000 deposited in the four banks in that city owned and controlled by Afro-Americans, and there are banks controlled by the race in other cities. The Afro-American banker is making good. The 400 newspapers and periodicals issued by Afro-Americans have a combined circulation of more than 1,000,000 copies. The Afro-American publisher is helpin the race to "make good." Cotton mills, factories and industries owned by Afro-Americans and oeprated by men of the race, are making wealth for the proprietors and the workers and 'making good." In every avocation business and profession in the country the Afro-American has his part and he is "making good." The Afro-American has already "made good!"—St. Paul Appeal --- STYLISH STATIONERY ARTISTIC PRINTING DENNY-CORYELL CO. 716 First Ave. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, in and for King County.

NO “RACE PROBLEM.” ‘A correspondent in last Sunday’s PI, well said there is no “race ques: tion,” in referring to the agitation that is now on because of the lawlessness exhibited in many places when a crime is committed by a Negro, There is no race question in the sense that it is a “problem” as it is usually called. ‘There exists a condition with refer. ence to the colored race that Is very different from what it should be and ill becomes a Christian nation, whose foundation principles are laid on the “Fatherhood of God and the brother. hood of man.” This same correspond: ent, in his eager desire to shift the re sponsibility for the abuses heaped upon the Negro race, mis-states the facts when he says: “T can assure all who desire to know that no Southern white man desires to lynch a Negro, except for the one crime against womanhood, which is likewise punished North and West, if he is a true representative of South ern citizens, and no more will such a man think to tolerate social equality in any degree.” That is a charitable statement in behalf of the Southern men, at the same time very untrue, if we are to judge their desires by their acts—and how else can they be judged? The facts are that considerable more than one-half the lynchings in the South- ern states for some months past have been for other crimes than those against women, and as added proof of this, at least two such lynchings were of Negro women, The implied insult to the Northern, man in the lat- ter part of above quotation we pass over unnoticed except to remark that the Northern gentleman is law-abid- ing and does not sieze every oppor: tunity afforded to make an outlaw of himself, especially when the consti tuted courts are ready to avenge wrongdoers; furthermore we are per- fectly willing to accord to this same “representative Southern citizen” the responsibility for the lynchings that have occurred in the North and West, and are glad that he has thus, in a measure, removed the stain from the Northern man. ‘Then to disarm suspicion and as an apology for these heinous crimes, he raises the social equality bugaboo when he says “and no more will a Southern man think to tolerate social equality in any degree.” So far as the Negro is concerned he is not ask- ing for social equality; he desires only that equality which the constitution guarantees. Grant him that and then let the Southern white folk change their course and set him an ex- ample of chastity such as he has a right to expect of them, and the conditions will rapidly adjust them- selves in a way that will be satisfac- tory to all. 46 1 The Smile that 9. 9 Won’t Come Off “THAT’S WHAT” Illumines the face of the man who drinks ARCADE COFFEE He knows heis drinking better than good coffee— 1S THE BEST MONDAY, with each pound will be given a Dainty Decorated China ‘Tea Cup for A0c. SECOND AND UNION In this connection the tribute to the Negro race by ex-Governor W. J. Northern of Georgia is worthy of re- production, In a recent discussion upon the so-called race question he said in part: “I have lived among Negroes all my life and I don't want to live where there are none. I would trust them in every relation far more than I would the mongrel population of self-an- nounced socialists, anarchists and out: laws who do the menial service of other sections. We do not want to deport the Negroes and we could not if we so desired.” Prof. Booker T. Washington denies that he has entered into an arrange ment with Leigh D. J. Hunt, or any one else, in any sort of a colonization ‘scheme, for the American Negroes. While such a scheme as {s accredited to Mr. Hunt, the colonization of large numbers of Negroes in Africa, under proper conditions, is not without mer- it, and is being earnestly urged by cer tain prominent Afro-Americans, yet it 1s not Mr, Washington's way. His ideal is being worked out at Tuskegee, Ala., and is no longer an experiment. Its success is recognized and com- mended the world over. The inconsistency in the action of Southern Democracy in disfranchising the Negro voters in the “solid South” states is evidenced by the fact that the party workers are very particular to see that all Negroes whom they can coax, hoodwink, browbeat or hire into voting the Democratic ticket, are given the chance to cast their ballots, wheth- er they come under the ban of the dis- franchisement acts or not. As these laws were only made to disfranchise Republican Negroes of course it is no violation of the spirit of the law to let deluded Negroes vote when the de- lusion consists in a willingness to cast a Democratic ballot. ‘The general sentiment in the South: ern states is opposed to the deporta- tion idea, but frequently it is advanced from there, not in sincerity, but as’a blind, What the South wants is the Negro left alone in his ignorance, therefore servile, dependent condition. It is education, enlightenment for the race that the Southern white fears. He knows that deportation is imprac- ticable, but if he can get that idea to working he hopes the other will not be urged so hard and thus put off the day when the black man will throw off his shackles of ignorance and must be dealt with as a man, and a citizen. If those who profess to see so much danger to the country through the up- lifting of the Negro race would turn their batteries on the real menace to this country, the Italians and other un- desirable, anarchistic and socialistic hordes that are pouring into our land by the millions, they will work to some purpose at least in a good cause. The Negro is an American citizen as much as any white man here. He is to the manor born, He knows no other nation, recognizes no other flag, and let need arise he offers his ser- vice and his life for the country’s weal as freely as the bluest of the blue blood. The race question in this coun- try is not one of color, as touching the Negro folk, but that of those for- eign races that are being coddled in the bosom of our government, given full rights of citizenship, slaying our presidents, degrading labor, and pros- tituting politicians by their ignorant willingness to sell their franchise, and ever plotting and planning a death thrust at the government itself. Here- in is the race problem, and that which demands prompt and vigorous atten- tion from those who love their coun- try and their fellowman. Goyernor-elect Vardemar of Missis- sippi has publicly declared that the Negroes of that state while he is the chief executive will fare in every re spect as well as they did under form- er chief executives of that state. It is surmised from the governor's state- ment that the Negroes of that state have many real troubles ahead, for during the past decade more Negroes have been wilfully murdered in Mis- sissippi than any other state of the Union, Denies Immigration Scheme Se Rae Sy see NPS ASS onl =a I = \ I S NX } ae BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, gee ern, COE A cto from Prof. Booker T. Washington's ‘own mouth that he is connected with no scheme or enterprise that has for its object the deporting of the Ameri- can Negro to any foreign land. The Negro is as much at home in the United States as the Caucasian and has the same legal right to call it home as he. The white man stole the country from the red man and forced the black man to help him do it. and now that he has gotten away with his stolen property he turns on the man who helped him to accom- plish his roguery and says “Now you, like the other fellow, get up and get : DO IT NOW : : THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN | : Needs your assistance today and : not tomorrow. : . 4 “Taffy” is nice but “turnips” 3 are more substantial. : If you can get what you want | : from its columns then do not hes- ; itate to order to your address, | The Seattle Republican : “MAIN 305” Seattle, Wash. 2 ‘ pi ea ge atic ce Nea aes Ae aN If you want to borrow money on your diamonds, jewelry or watches at low rates, don’t hunt up your “friends.” Go to the American Watch and Jewel- ry Co., 908 First Ave., private offices, and business strictly confidential, *** MANAGER WANTED.
