Seattle Republican

Historical Society The SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 19 SEATTLE, WASHIN LE REPU SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1903 state convention at Spokane in 1894. This was the entering wedge for the declaration for the gold standard, which came in Everett two years later. In that year, 1896, he lead the Washington delegation to the national convention in St. Louis. As an attorney he ranks high, being a ready speaker and a strong debater. As a business man, one of the receivers of the Northern Pacific railroad when it was in financial straits, he succeeded in making for himself a brilliant record. But reverses came and for business and political reasons he went to Republic and later to New York, where he has been for some time past. He is now in Seattle en route to Valdes, Alaska, where he has extensive interests, and where he expects to reside in the future. Mr. Burleigh has many friends in Seattle who are pleased to give him the glad hand and welcome him, of but for a few days, to his old haunts. The burning question in King county just now is whether it shall be high or low with Lake Union. It looks very much as if the elements were trying to do for the farming interests of the valleys what the people have not had sense enough to do. There seems to be no good reason why the waters of Lake Union, and especially of Lake Washington, should be kept at the high mark they attain to in the winter, causing so much damage by overflow, when all legitimate purposes can be served as well by leaving out the dam that has been washed away and cutting loose the one on the portage canal. Not only would damage from overflow be averted, but much valuable swamp land would become available, and a channel made at but slight expense for the passage of small steamers from the lakes to the Sound. Another advantage would be an added argument, and a strong one, for the digging of the government canal, as an improvement to a navigable stream. As for the saw mills left a little too far from deep water, it would be but a trifling expense to extend their logways the few feet required. By all means give the water a chance. A Beautiful Place. The undertaker is one whose business it is usually not pleasant to contemplate, but when an undertaking establishment puts forth the energy and enterprise as has been exhibited by Butterworth & Sons in the construction of a place of business, such as they now occupy on First Avenue near Pine Street, there is a genuine pleasure in noting the same and visiting their establishment when not under necessity to purchase of their wares. They have one of the finest establishments of the kind in the West and one that is seldom surpassed anywhere. Besides ample office and reception rooms, parlors, store room, work rooms, embalming rooms, etc., they have one of the nicest chapels in the United States, commodious, with all the accessories for seclusion convenience and comfort. An unusual and unique feature is that of a cold storage vault, where, when it is necessary, as is often the case, to keep a corpse for an unusual length of time it is placed and may be kept indefinitely. The nature of the location is such that with basement and sub-basement ample space is afforded for stable and carriage room for horses and hearses. Taken altogether it is not only a credit to the popular firm of Butterworth & Sons but to the city of Seattle as well. No Objections to Negroes. "I am a real estate dealer, and I understand you own the lot adjoining that colored church on Fourteenth avenue, and that it is for sale. If so, I've a purchaser for you, providing you'll sell it reasonable. My client is an old colored man and desires to live near his church, and will give — dollars for your property. You know your lot is practically without value, being so close to those noisy darkies," was all said almost in one breath over the telephone. "Well, Mr. Real Estate Dealer, you are a darn fool if you think you are going to get that lot for a song. I have lived near that church for a long time, and I'd as soon live near it as any other church." The laugh was on the dirt dealer, for he himself was a Negro, and was trying to make a big "speck" for himself. A Professional Politician. George U. Piper, he of recent matrimonial fame, while in California on a bridal trip, was asked by some --- VOL. X. NO. 19 THE SEATTLE SPIRIT THE SEATTLE SPIRIT Commissioner Smith's Idea. The proposition of Commissioner L. C. Smith to locate the new armory on land already owned by the county, south of the city, is a sensible one. As any location will only be available by street car, why spend thousands of dollars to purchase an inside site when the county already owns enough land equally as available as any that might possibly be secured, and removed from the business center of the city but three to five minutes ride, if indeed so far. The suggestion is a good one. Gambling Going On. Shall or shall not gambling be permitted in Seattle is the all-absorbing question on the tongues of most [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit, facing slightly to the right.] W. T. SCOTT. every one in the city. For the past month or more gambling has been running almost wide open, not in one place, but in divers places, but dissensions arose among the gamblers themselves in dividing up the spoils, which has resulted in the whole being brought to a sudden halt. Prosecuting Attorney Scott is out in the newspapers with a statement to the effect that John and Frank Clancy have made direct overtures to his office to pay it heavy bribe money to permit gambling. Johnny Clancy comes back and says he has had an understanding with the prosecuting attorney's office, not with Mr. Scott, but with Callahan, an employee in the office, and that understanding permitted him to run, if he would give up thirty per cent of his earning for the privilege, and so long as that was adhered to he had no objection, but recently a fifty per cent cut has been demanded and he would not stand for it. Gambling Must Stop. Prosecuting Attorney Scott counters that statement by branding Clancy as an unmitigated --- --- and that he has not nor will not protect gamblers in the slightest particular. He will not only not wait for warrants to be sworn out, but proposes to go to it and break up all forms of public gambling in king county, even if he has to send some of the would be political bosses to the penitentiary in his effort to do so. Gambling is as great a crime as burglary and he or she who commits it should be sent to prison if convicted, the same as the burglar. Gambling can either be suppressed or tolerated, but it can not be regulated. The Seattle Republican is looking up a few things for its ownself just now and it proposes to give the public the full benefit of the results of its investigation. Andrew F. Burleigh. The presence of Andrew F. Burleigh in the city calls up memories of other days, and not many years agone, when he was a central figure in the political and business world of Seattle and the Northwest. As a politician he was one of the leaders in the days of King county's political supremacy. As the chairman of the King county delegation, seventy-five strong, he lead the fight for the "conservative" plank in the Republican Keep It Open. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS one much interested in Seattle: "From Seattle, and in business there, too, I guess?" "Yes, sir," replied Mr. Piper. "Glad to have met you. I am deeply interested in your city and I hope to make it my home in the near future. But may I ask your line of business?" "I—I am a political boss," finally came from Seattle's political wizzard, but his questioner so suddenly dropped out of sight on learning his business that George has been wondering ever since if a politician is really as bad as he is painted. Celebrates Fiftieth Anniversary. The seventeenth of this month Major W. J. Conant and his wife will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage. Fifty years sailing down the stream of life with the craft still in good shape is a wonderful record. Others have done as much, but regardless 4 MAJOR W. J. CONANT. of whom it has been done by, its a great record. The major on that very day is also seventy-two years of age, which shows that he took unto himself a wife at his first maturity. Though he has turned his three score and ten mile stone, yet he is still an active business man and each day is found at his place of business, showing as much activity as he did twenty years ago. But a few days since he returned from Cincinnati, whither he went to visit with relatives and friends and showed no more fatigue from the long trip than a man half his years. There are few men in the city more generally liked by those who know him than the major, and be it said to his credit that he seems to be known by more men than the average good citizen. If he does not do business until he is ninety it will be because the unexpected will happen. Thought Him a Chump. "Of course you are going to be a candidate for a member of the lower house of the Ninth legislature," said an admirer to W. J. McGuire, a well known Fifth ward politician, who had said some time ago he would like the honor. "Not on your life," almost abruptly came from Me. "I've a show to be nominated and elected to the city council, and if you think I am chump enough to turn such an opportunity as that down for the legislature, and in no better financial condition than I am, then, my boy, I am absolutely certain you are the real chump." *** Do Not Use Milk. Judge Cann seems to have an awful horror of poisoned milk and accused users of formaldehyde always get stuck, and stuck hard, when arraigned before him. A certain milk dealer, who did not seem to entertain the kindliest feeling for "his honor" was one day this week overheard to remark: "I do not see why Judge Cann is so worried about formaldehyde being found in milk, for if all the milk and water used in the city were doped with the dearest poison he would be sure of dying of old age or from some cause other than poisoned milk or water." If such be true, how in heaven's name does the Judge live without drinking? And it's up to the milk dealer to explain himself. --- Fred Fehren's Foolishness. "Our fellows are considering whether or not we will sell lots to 'colored folk' in our new addition," said Fred Fehren, a real estate dealer, who has recently put on a new addition of suburban property on the market. "Don't let your mind be worried about that," quickly came from an Afro-American. "Colored folk in Seattle don't buy cheap properties, and for that reason your addition and the class of people you are selling to are a complete protection from Negro intrusion." For some unexplainable reason a coolness now exists when the two happen to meet on the street. The Officer Moved On. "Say, Officer, will you please tell me somewhere to go. It seems to me I must have the smallpox from the looks of my hands," said a stranger to a Second street police officer not long since. "Somewhere to go? Go to hell for what I care, but you are not going to take me with you," and on seeing the diseased lump of huhumanity did not move on to his designated destination with the fleetness of a "J. I. C.," the municipal guardian fairly outrun his own shadow getting to another part of his beat. "I've a weakness for arresting hoboes, but excuse me if he is troubled with visible signs of smallpox." Street's Horrible Condition. "During my thirty years' sojourn in Seattle I've never seen the streets in better condition for the eight months' rainy season that has already begun than they are at the present time. Our municipal authorities are certainly to be congratulated on the charming condition the streets are now in to the very highest degree. Teaming, I am told, is to be entirely abandoned and boats free of charge will be furnished for traffic and transportation from one part of the city to another," mused an old-timer one day this week. Newspaper Men Anti-Trust. If there is any one class of men that is religiously opposed to trusts and combines it is the newspaper publishers of this city. So much opposed to them are they that they absolutely refuse to combine for their own commercial good, and they won't even trust a fellow publisher to stick to an agreement when one has been made. When they will have died on air pudding and wind sauce a while longer and broken up in business a few times more perhaps they will come to their right senses, and all stand together. WISE AND OTHERWISE. You have nothing to make your happy, you say? Give somebody a lift and see. A man who tries to reform his life on the installment plan generally gets behind with his payments. What a blessing the milkmen can't put any formaldehyde into the milk of human kindness.—Colleague. Perhaps the "walking delegate" of organized labor is a human being, but if he is he certainly is not what he is pictured to be. Don't worry, don't fret, however dark the outlook; you will ultimately come to the light if you look upward, work upward.—Success. Eastern papers are predicting that the Democratic party will carry the state of Pennsylvania because of widespread opposition to the Pennypacker libel law. Even the elements seem to have become disgusted with the conditions that prevail in that anarchist hot bed Patterson, N. J., and have been trying to drown them out. Possibly the only reason they do not is because that article is so hard to find. You know, neighbor, that only a small per cent of the entire population are newspaper men. That Olympia couple who eloped several days in advance of the day set for their wedding escaped the bumps caused by the heels of old shoes and the unpleasant sensation of cold rice sifting down the spinal column. A real disaster would be a blessing to some people we know. They are chronically stupid. They have had it easy so long they have almost gone to sleep. Their greatest desire is not to be disturbed. Oh! for something to waken them up. Tacoma has a new trouble on her hands. Spokane is crowding her so hard as to population that the dear old auntie is considerably worried lest the bunchgrass city by the raging falls will step to second place while she sleeps. "Yes, by all means," says the Indians to John Temple Graves, "send the Negro back to Africa, and when you have done that then send the white man back to Europe and lo the poor Indian will then be in the peaceful possession of his own. If the water on the face of the earth is to all gradually disappear into subterranean channels, as noted in our Science Notes, herein may be found the why of the enterprise of the Kentucky moonshiners in preserving all the water they can with "corn juice," and caching it away against that day. You have only to open your eyes to see the handwriting of God upon every object. The shading of the flower, the song of the bird, the form of the tree, the breath of the air, the tint of the sky, the green of the grass—all are thoughts of God, and are designed to help you think of him.—Daniel March. Kentucky feudists are in a quandry as to why their homes should be invaded by a detachment of the Salvation Army. "If the Salvation Army devotees have any more genuine religion than we feudist then you can shoot me and my pals will register no protest. Why, we Kentuckians are God's chosen American people." An exchange says the Pennsylvania Democrats in their state platform eschew National politics altogether and devote their utterances entirely to local issues. At the risk of being thought unkind we suggest a very good reason is that there seems to be no national politics to "chew." One W. J. Bryan has succeeded in masticating the "whole cheese" beyond all recognition. The tramp was told, "There is plenty of work now." "Oh, yes," was the reply, "there is plenty of work all right, but if you belong to a union you have to be on strike most of the time, and if you don't belong to a union they won't let you work anyhow." This is an example of truth told in jest that needs no moralizing. Its lesson is apparent. Captain Oberlin M. Carter is to soon be released from a five year term of imprisonment, and, it is said, is to be received with open arms by his former associates, who believe him more sinned against than sinned; but why not, even he was not. He has sinned and he has suffered and if he promises to profit by his experience, why not give him a helping hand. Such a course will certainly do him no harm. The province of Manitoba is only in its infancy. Only one-tenth of its wheat lands are occupied; yet that tenth yields more wheat than Great Britain, one-fifth as much as the two Russias, twice as much as Sweden, Denmark, Holland and Belgium together, a third more than Austria, a fifth more than Roumania. When all Manitoba's wheat lands are occupied, this province alone will be producing twice as much wheat as Russia, and four times as much as Germany. During this month a commission representing the British government, and composed of some of the best educators of that country, will visit the United States to make a tour of our educational institutions, with a view of improving their own. Thus another compliment is paid to American genius. Last year it was a commission of Englishmen to study our industrial conditions, and from Germany to study our agricultural methods. All such invasions are welcome. A unique way of getting round a seeming difficulty is exhibited by the "Telescope," the illustrated family magazine recently started in Olympia. In the October number it has for frontispiece a picture of Mount -----, alias -----. Everybody will recognize the mountain, also the fact that the publishers in not committing themselves to the true name, Ranier, or the alias Tacoma, have escaped the danger of making enemies to their magazine to the number of inhabitants of the "City of Destiny." For too many of us it has come to be well nigh impossible to sit down by ourselves without turning intuitively for a book or a newspaper. The habit indicates a vacancy of mind, a morbid intellectual restlessness, and can not inaptly be compared with that incessant delirious activity which those who are familiar with deathbed scenes know are the signs of dissolution. Books are an inestimable boon; let me never be without the best of them, both old and new. Still, one would fain have an occasional thought of one's own, even though, as is the common saying, 'It is nothing to speak of.' Meditation is an old-fashioned exercise.—Bradford Era. Recently in Greater New York a contractor had working for him a gang of Irishmen, but needing more men put to work a gang of Italians, whereupon the Irish struck, refusing to work with Dagoes. To take their places a gang of Negroes were put to work and then the Italians struck, refusing to work "wid de Nig." What the Negroes would have done had a gang of Japanese taken the striking Italians' places, and what the Japs would have done had a gang of Chinamen taken the Negroes' places, are all matters of speculation, but the presumption is the same striking routine would have been carried out. "What fools we mortals be," especially when we are under the benign influence of the Anglo-Saxon race. The Better Way The Better Way It was a remark of Walter Scott: There never did and never will exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to the exercise of resolute self-denial. Let the young man or woman compelled to execute a rigid economy in order to secure an education reflect upon this fact, and be encouraged by the thought that the very deprivations you heroically endure tend to secure for you the moral and intellectual supremacy toward which you aspire. There are chords in the human heart which are only struck by accident; which will remain mute and senseless to appeals the most passionate and earnest and respond at last to the slightest casual touch.—Charles Dickens. The point of application is the point of power. Electricity had been discovered for generations, but it carried no messages until Morse chained it and set it to work. Principles never bring results until they are made practically operative. One may thing a thousand things, but achievement comes only by carrying out our thinking. Good desires are all right. So are good intentions. So are good resolutions. But acts, acts, acts, are what count. The point of application in a human life is the point of power. Why He Found Life Disappointing. He did not choose upward. He saved his money, but starved his mind. He murdered his capacity for happiness in getting ready for it. He never learned the art of extracting enjoyment from common things. He had developed a colossal power for receiving, but had never learned to give.—Success. What to Learn. Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn to attend strictly to your own business—a very important point. Learn the art of saying kind and encouraging things, especially to the young. Learn to avoid all ill-natured remarks and everything calculated to create friction. Learn to keep your troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop grumbling. If you cannot see any good in this world, keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your aches and pains under a pleasant smile. No one cares whether you have the earache, headache, or rheumatism. Learn to greet your friends with a smile. They carry too many frowns in their own hearts to be bothered with any of yours.—Christian Life. The Robbery of Home. Business duties. Social duties. Church duties. What large demands they make upon our time! How willingly we surrender the evenings to the lecture, the concert, the reading eirele, the social club, church committees, and league demands! How about our evenings at home? No other interest, no matter how important and pressing, has a right to rob us of our evenings in the home circle. Then, throw extra fuel upon the grate. Cut the pages of the freshest magazine. Take down the most entertaining book. Read aloud. Talk aloud. Let dignity unbend. Play proper games with the youngsters. Convert that sitting room into the cheeriest place on earth. Make things fairly ring with laughter and song. Then before "Goodnight" is spoken, join in "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," and have a season of prayer. At least three evenings of the week belong to the home circle. We say belong. Any other use of them is robbery. In these days of pushing and of rushing we lift our voice in defense of the home. It is the greatest place in the world. It must not be bartered for any outside pleasure. Its neglect stands for definite peril. Palsied be the hand which is lifted to rob the American home of its warmth, its joy and its fellowship!—Epworth Herald. Fred Fehren's Foolishness.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Publishes the POLITICAL NEWS AND COMMENTS of this state every week. The prognostications of the Political Pot-Pie Column is admitted by all partisans and factionalists in the state to come nearer hitting the "bull's eye" than any other in the state. Many of the leading politicians of the state keep a complete file of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, and hardly a week passes but that some politician writes to the office adding his testimony, which corroborates the above allegation. that covers the entire state as does no other publication in the state, and those persons in the state who are deeply interested in the politics of the state are beginning to learn that fact and are slowly but surely increasing the subscription list of the paper.

The Commissioner of Patents has published his report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1903. From it we gather that there were received in the last fiscal year 49,199 applications for mechanical patents, 801 applications for designs, 156 applications for reissues, 1,767 caveats, 2,530 applications for trade-marks, 1,208 applications for labels, and 362 applications for prints. There were 29,892 patents granted, including reissues and designs, and 2,194 trade-marks, 910 labels, and 233 prints were registered. The number of patents that expired was 23,390. The number of allowed applications which were by operation of law forfeited for non-payment of the final fees was 4,760. The total receipts of the office were $1,591,251.04; the total expenditures were $1,423,094.40, and the surplus of receipts over expenditures, being the amount turned into the treasury, was $168,156.64. The American Bureau of Navigation reports that during the month of July 117 vessels, of 25,460 tons, were built and officially numbered in the United States. Twelve steel steamers accounted for 18,999 tons, two of them being vessels of between 4,000 and 5,000 tons for the American Shipbuilding Company. According to the Russian customs returns, Germany exports into Russia a quantity of articles immeasurably greater than we do, and of a class in which we could to a great extent compete in that country were greater attention shown to the requirements of the Russian market by our manufacturers. An unlooked-for sequence in the drainage of New Orleans is the appearance of hordes of ants which, according to the Iron Age, have become as threatening as the plagues of Egypt. They attack the woodwork of houses and speedily destroy it, making their way into warehouses where costly goods are stored, and seem to be immune to insecticides. The presence of them in such quantities is said to be caused by the drying out of the THI Publicis Pot-Pie Colum the state.

When it was saturated the ants could not breed in it; now that it is no longer wet the ants have multiplied in such numbers that they defy suppression. It is not to northern China that one would usually look for an example of electrical progress, but there is at least one place on the eastern shore of the Liao-tung Peninsula which might well set an example to many of the western towns. We refer to the city of Dalny, which lies near Port Artaur in that portion of the Chinese empire which was leased to Russia in 1898. Electrically, Dalny is up-to-date. it has both telephones and the electric light. The central station, which is considered the finest electric plant in Asia east of Singapore, was finished over a year ago. Photography is now used in making surveys, in localities where the ordinary method would be too slow. The plan employed is to take two exposures from different locations. The photographs thus secured are placed in a stereoscopic measuring machine, which combines them and enables the exact position of any point to be easily calculated. Geologists tell us that in time there will be no water on the earth's surface, it will all be absorbed by underground channels and old earth will be as dry at the moon or the planet Mars. M. Laisant, a French physicist, proposes the establishment of a series of underground observatories in different parts of the world for the purpose of collecting data regarding the phenomena of the earth's crust, especially of underground temperature. His plan is to drill into the earth's crust a mile, more or less, and drop self registering instruments therein to record the information sought. Two German professors are proposing to try to reach the North Pole by use of a submarine boat, and that the boat be kept in touch with civilization by means of wireless telegraphy.

At the beginning of the nineteenth century English was the "mother" tongue of a little more than twenty million people; at the end of the century it was the language of nearly one hundred and thirty million people. It is estimated that by the end of the present century it will be the speech of nearly or quite 500,000,000 people, outstripping all rivals and being the one world-language. Much interest is centering in a magnetic suspended railway that is being tested in New York. By means of powerful magnets to lift the train and reduce friction to a minimum, it is expected that a speed of three hundred miles an hour may be secured. The experiment has reached the stage where capital is beginning to investigate. According to results obtained from experiments by the Department of Agriculture, fruit and nuts should be considered as true foods instead of accessories. Fruits are rich in carbo-hydrates and nuts in fats. The peanut ranges far ahead of all other nuts from a food standpoint and produces more energy than bread at a given expense. Crude petroleum contains not only the mineral illuminating oils (refined petroleum), but also petroleum ether and petroleum essence, which are lighter than these oils, and numerous products of higher density, such a paraffin, vaseline and the waxes used for oiling machinery, for making candles, pomades, unguents, etc., and generally as substitutes for vegetable oils. The increased use of the naphtha engine, in motor vehicles, launches, etc., has made the question of deodorization of petroleum products a serious one and much study and experimenting has been done to find a cheap and satisfactory formula. Mr. Charles Henry, says the Literary Digest, has indicated a method which is very practical, being both rapid and cheap. To 220 pounds of petroleum he adds 44 pounds of water, $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of missicot, or lead oxid, and 20 pounds of caustic potash. The whole is shaken for about an hour, then decanted. The oil thus treated will be absolutely inodorous.

If the Democrat party wants a real live issue, and one the solution of which would win them the gratitude and possibly the confidence of the people, we suggest one, perhaps a little difficult to name, but it might be called the convict question. In view of the reign of terror that is maintained in some localities by ex-convicts, should-be convicts, tramps, dynamiters, hold-up men, etc., etc., it would seem that they constitute sufficient cause for a good live issue. Probably the best possible suggestion for the solution of the Philippine question, is the building of a system of railroads therein. What the islands need is an awakening and a railroad is the first essential requirement. The proposition has been endorsed by Secretary Root, and its consummation bids fair to be one of the main features of Mr. Taft's administration, who is to succeed Mr. Root early in January. Several lines are suggested on the island of Luzon, all centering, of course, at Manila. It is thought with a guarantee of interest on the part of the government that private capital will be willing to take up the work. As an earnestness of the desire manifested in many directions to see governmental affairs placed above mere partisanship, comes the appointment of General Luke E. Wright to be Governor General of the Philippine Islands, vice Wm. H. Taft, who has been promoted to a cabinet position. General Wright is a Democrat, but his fitness is recognized, and it is men, the right man in the right place, that is desired by President Roosevelt, and he allows no partisan prejudice to interfere with efficient service. The same thing has been noted in other instances, one of which was the appointment of Senator Turner, of this state, as a member of the Alaska boundary commission. It was not because he was formerly a Republican, or that he is now a Democrat, but because of his eminent fitness, and both these as well as other similar instances were because the administration is business first, and partisan afterwards. The Walla Walla Statesman predicts a Democratic victory in New York next month. In view of the fact that New York, because of its exceedingly large foreign born and un-American population, is a Democeratic stronghold, the amount of occult wisdom displayed by the Statesman would not be especially phenomenal, even if his prophesy comes true. New York city usually goes Democeratic. It is the exception when it is otherwise. And it is seldom that a fusion (mis)alliance holds over one campaign. And with friction already disturbing the ranks of the fusion forces back of Mayor Low's candidacy for re-election, it would require no more prophetic power or political sagacity for the Statesman to utter his prediction than it would for us to predict that some eight or ten of the Southern States will go Deomeratic next year regardless of who the Presidential nominee may be. The good people of Sunnyside, in this state, are evolving a new character of county, or district fair. Their Harvest Home festivals are enlarging in scope until the promoters see in it a promise of an annual exhibition of fruits, etc., etc., accompanied by a general relaxation from home cares, an opportunity to get acquainted with one's neighbors, renew old friendships and at the same time make a little money for charitable purposes. No cash prizes are contemplated, no racing or faking to be permitted. It is to be in the nature of a church fair on an enlarged scale, with literary and musical programs in the evenings. The plans give promise to furnish all the desirable features of the county fair, with none of the deleterious influences attached, but on the contrary the tendency will be towards a higher and better citizenship, instead of to demoralize. May success attend the effort. Every now and again we hear of the statement being made, by some official, that he is going to enforce such and such a law. Such a declaration is an admission on his part that he has failed, or been neglecting to do his sworn duty, and the work for which he is employed; but it is not recorded that he ever fails to be at the trough when the monthly "feed" is being handed out. While it is true that public sentiment, or more properly speaking, perhaps, public carelessness, is largely responsible for this neglect of duty. Yet these are not sufficient excuse why a public servant should refuse or neglect to do that for which he is paid. It is getting something for nothing when he draws his full pay but has neglected to do his full duty. To make the matter more reprehensible and felonious is the fact, so often brought to light, that these same officials accept bribes from violators of law as an immunity from prosecution. There is one way and but one way, so it seems, to secure honesty in office and secure proper law enforcement, and that is, make common cause upon all violators, whether in or out of office. He who refuses to do his duty, whether he accepts a bribe for refusing or not, is no less a criminal than he who pays for illicit protection.

If, on the other hand, McBride is defeated in the convention then he (Turner) will ask the Democrats to nom- inate him and if they would, he, with the assistance of the governor, he believes would sweep not only Eastern Washington but parts of Western Washington as well. I do not think the Governor has any convention strength, but with a strong railroad man nominated for Governor on the Republican ticket and Senator Turner nominated for Governor on the Demo-Pop ticket, and with Governor McBride rallying his forees to the support of the Senator, I believe Turner would under such circumstances carry the state by 10,000 majority.”’ The gubernatorial fight is also attracting more or less attention in Republican circles. The number of aspirants have been on the de- erease here of late. It is given out that S. G. Cosgrove will not be a candidate, but will head a MeBride delegation to the state con- vention. That might mean a shrewd piece of polities on the part of Mr. Cosgrove. At the state convention Governor McBride might be very strong, but not strong enough to win. Cosgrove might be able to rally some additional strength, and for being loyal to Me- Bride might fall heir to his strength and thereby secure for himself the nomination. State Auditor Atkinson is still said to be in the gubernatorial fight. His friends believe that he will be the com- promise candidate between the railroad and the pro-railroad forces. His ‘‘bunch-grass’’ proclivities will be a drawing card in bringing about such a condition. In case King county failed to land the coveted price he would be highly acceptable to all elements in the county. Looking at the situation through compromise glasses John D. Atkinson is the logical Republican nominee for Governor. ‘The United States senatorial situation in this state is still the all absorbing topie among politicians, and that, too, despite the fact that it is fifteen months before the voting in the legislature will be gin for the purpose of electing a successor to Senator Foster. The announced candidates for the senatorship are: Senator Addison G Foster, of Tacoma; State Senator Ed S. Hamilton, of Tacoma, and Samuel H. Piles, Seattle. The unannounced and yet almost abso: lutely certain to be candidates are: Senator John L. Wilson, Seat tle; Harold Preston, Seattle, and Henry G. McBride, Mt. Vernon ‘All of the above named candidates have a more or less amount of positive strength, which, to some extent, will be diagnosed at this time. Senator Foster, it is very generally believed and coneeded, has some positive railroad strength outside of Pieree county, and will doubtless divide honors in that direction with his local opponent in Pierce county. Owing to the fact that Senator Ankeny refused to discuss the senatorial situation in Spokane a few days ago, and said Foster and Hamilton would have to fight it out without his aid, it is taken for granted that he will throw his influence to Foster when the fight is on for blood. The senator will also have some clement of strength on account of his Federal appointments. How- ever, the fact that Cushman has lined up with Hamilton in Pierce county would seem to warrant the prediction that he, Foster, stands a splendid show of losing his home county from start to finish. Senator Hamilton’s strength lacks much of the positiveness of that of Senator Foster’s, yet it is believed by those politicians who imow how well Hamilton stands among the politicians all over the state that on the first ballot he will show more general strength than his local opponent and the strength that he will then and there show will come nearer staying by him to the end than Senator Foster's Hamilton, it is believed, will get that vote that has in the past sup- ported all the railroad measures. While the railroad wire pullers may be for Foster the workers will be for Hamilton, and will say to the bosses, when they try to foree them into the Foster camp: “What's the matter with Hamilton? Is he not a good railroad man?’? Not being able to answer in the negative, Hamilton will be able to hold his strength. He has a number of personal friends in various parts of the state, who would much prefer to see hini elected if a Pierce county man is to have it. His chances of being elected, however, can not be said to be brilliant owing to the fight between himself and Foster.

S. H. Piles is a very popular King county Republican politician and his friends believe that he will get the support of sixteen out of twenty-five votes from King on the first ballot, but that is prob- lematical, for if the seven hold over senators should wage a relent- less war on him in favor of some other King county candidate it is very likely that the Republican delegation will be equally divided between Piles and the other fellow, whoever he may be. It was thought in the outset that Mr. Piles would be the choice ot the rail- road folk all over the state, but later developments would seem to warrant the belief that he has neither the tacit, implied nor declared candidate of any railroad folk, and yet he is not wholly objection- able to them, Outside of King county Mr. Piles does not seem to have any strength whatever, judging from the newspaper comment about his candidacy. Sixteen or twenty votes, however, well marshalled might bring success to Mr. Piles, owing to the multiplicity of eandi- dates and the political complications that will be eminent in Re- publican cireles at that time. WHY HIS MARRIAGE WAS A FAILURE. Senator John L. Wilson, it is generally believed, will also an- nounce his candidacy for the senatorship in due time. Rumor has it that he will go to Olympia in 1905 with as much or more voting strength than has King county combined. In the past Senator Wil- son has been able to hold his forces together for himself until he gave the word for them to scatter, and it is believed that he will be able to do so again, in which case he and his friends will be able to name the man, if he himself can not get there. Senator Wilson may have lost the most of the Spokane delegation in the last contest, but Spokane people now say that he will get at least half of the next delegation from that county to the legislature, if not all of it, which taken in connection with his almost certain large vote in Western Washington will start him off as high man in the contest. Mr. Wil- son’s friends say they are not talking for publication at this time, as six or eight months may bring about many changes in the politi- cal situation. He regarded children as a nuis: ance, He did all his courting before mar: riage. He never talked over his affair: with his wife. He never had time to go anywhere with his wife. He doled out money to his wife as if to a beggar. He looked down upon his wife as an inferior being. He never took time to get ac quainted with his family. He thought of his wife only for what she could bring to him. He never dreamed that there were two sides to marriage. He never dreamed that a wife need: praise or compliments. He had one set of manners fo1 home and another for society. He paid no attention to his per sonal appearance after marriage. He married an ideal, and was dis appointed to find it had flaws. He thought his wife should spend all her time doing housework. He treated his wife as he woul: not have dared to treat another wo man, He never dreamed that his wif needed a vacation, recreation 0} change. He never made concessions to hi wife's judgment, even in unimportan matters. He thought the marriage vow hai made him his wife's master, instea of her partner. He took all the little attention lavished on him by his wife as hi ‘As said on a former occasion, Harold Preston is now a full-fledged dark horse candidate to succeed Senator Foster. Mr. Preston has no real and but little imaginary strength, and yet as a dark horse candi- date from King he might be able to rally the outside scattering votes in the legislature in sufficient numbers to almost compel the entire delegation from King county to support him. Such, it must be admitted, would be the unexpected happening, but the unexpect- ed has frequently happened in the past and it may happen again. Mr. Preston is always Governor McBride’s choice, on whom what- ever strength he has, which he can not use to his own advantage, he wishes it to fall. It is predicted that Governor McBride will be able to hold to- gether some twenty votes that will drill whenever he directs. Of course his first choice of a drill ground would be in MeBride’s “back yard,’’ but his second choice would be in Preston’s, and his third choice in Senator George Turner’s. by “divine right,” and not as favors. He always carried his business troubles home with him, instead of locking them in his store or office when he closed, “Which side do you milk these cows on?” asked the amateur farmer, approaching the animal in some un- certainty. “Try the under side,” said the old agriculturist, leaning over the fence. —Petoskey (Mich.)

Within sixty (60) days after the 2nd day of October, 1908, and defend the ate of first’ publication, October 2, 1903; date of last publication, Noy. 13, AFRO-AMERICAN 4 am to speak for and in behalf of a race peculiarly situated; a race born amidst persecution, disciplined in the school of slavery for nearly 250 years, and emancipated forty years ago without education, experience, money or competent leaders, and, in many instances, without names—a race that has been true and loyal to America from the great Revolutionary struggle to this period of the twentieth century—a race that has not only stood by and defended America's flag, but has also been true to America's interests. And the American people, in order to do effective work in the elevation of my race, must believe in the manhood of the Negro and have faith in his moral, spiritual and intellectual possibilities. The Negro has made wonderful progress since his emancipation, in the development of knowledge, character, and the acquisition of property. The South has done well in her appropriations by the various legislature for education, when we consider the poverty, devastation, and bad feeling which came with the period of reconstruction. The leaders of my race recognize the responsibility devolving upon them to lead the race into the possession of a more intelligent and honorable citizenship. They have commenced the serious and difficult task, and with the Divine guidance and assistance, and encouragement of the friends of popular education, success is absolutely certain. Judging the future by the past and the present, Negro illiteracy will be reduced to a greater extent in the next twenty years than it has been in the entire forty years of freedom. The past has been foundation work, and much foundation work remains yet to be done. This work is not always pleasant, neither is it always conspicuous. To be permanent and durable much of it must be out of sight; but the entire work is appreciated as the building in process of erection assumes proportions and gradually rises towards completion. The results of this work are clearly apparent, and, on the whole, highly gratifying. For the Negro has reduced his illiteracy by 50 per cent. We have 2,500,000 Negro children in the public schools; 35,000 Negro teachers; 45,000 students in higher institutions; 30,000 students learning trades, and 3,000 students pursuing classical and scientific courses. For the bringing about of these splendid results, I am by no means unmindful of the work of that noble army of Christians, men and wo- "ERIE" OIL HEATER SMOKELESS ODOR- LESS PORTABLE HANDSOME Stands 30 inches high frame of cast iron, light design.

Special for this week at $4.49 Spelger & Hurlbut SECOND AND UNION men, by whose self-sacrificing efforts the very cornerstone of our intellectual freedom was laid, and the thousands of Northern philanthropists who have poured out their wealth for support of our Southern schools. Out of their wretched poverty the Negroes have given for education $13.065,000. They have expended for school property $15,000,000. Negro students have taken high rank at Harvard, Yale, Brown, Oberlin and other representative institutions. The Negro's progress is remarkable when we remember the short time in which this progress has been made, and the adverse circumstances under which the race has had to labor. The Negro is behind, not because he is incapable of intellectual growth and development, not because he differs essentially from other races, but because of the times in which his lot has been cast, and the peculiarly trying conditions with which he has had to contend. The Negro race has the vices and virtues, abilities and disabilities of other men. He loves freedom. He hates oppression. He is an ardent admirer of justice, he has no love for injustice, having been intimately acquainted with it for 250 years. The educational needs of the Negroes of the South may be summed up brifely as follows: 1. A better system of public schools; which means longer terms, better teachers. I mean thoroughly educated, professionally trained teachers, who will follow teaching as a profession and not as a stepping stone to something else. We need a well regulated system of public schools in the rural districts. 2. We need trade and technical schools for the masses. The question, "What sort of an education does the Negro need?" finds its answer in the economic law of supply and demand, and not in his ethnological characteristics, inherent ability, and political status. Broadly speaking, the Negro needs every sort of education necessary to the conduct of every phase of civilized life; but the ratio of lawyers, doctors, skilled artisans, etc., needed to the entire race is, owing to conditions peculiar to the present time, not proportional to that of the white people, either North or South. The reason for this disparity is that the Negro's greatest and most imperative need is the ownership of good homes and the accumulation of wealth, moral and intellectual training, and skilled ability in the production of staple, raw material for the world's commerce. Reckoning on the basis of a Negro population of 9,000,000 (adults 3,500,000 or 4,000,000) in this country, an approximate estimate shows that there are needed 10,000 or 12,000 educated Negro preachers, about 10,000 physicians, 5,000 lawyers, 135,000 teachers, 1,000,000 skilled artisans, merchants, etc. Eliminating 5,000,000 children and subtracting the 1,160,000 accounted for in the estimate just given, there remain 2,840,000. These should engage in agriculture and other productive work. Of course it goes without saying that the industrially trained should also have a good common school education as a prerequisite to their special training in the industries, and to intelligent citizenship. And when I refer to industrial and agricultural schools, I mean real schools, not shams and fakes. The skilled mechanic and the scientific farmer can find remunerative employment in the South as he cannot find anywhere else. The South has as yet set up no barrier to prevent a man from making an honest living on account of the color of his skin. We need several more schools in the South like Hampton and Tuskegee. The governor of Georgia believes that $3,000 should be appropriated by the legislature of the state for an industrial and mechanical college in each of the eleven congressional districts of the state for white young men. The distribution of these schools would give a greater impetus to agriculture in the state, and would reach a larger class of white young men. Every Southern state needs a number of industrial and agricultural schools for the colored young men and women. I do not believe there need be any fear of an overproduction of industrially and mechanically trained colored people. I am quite sure there is an imperative need of scientific farmers throughout the South. Rev. Walker in Omaha (Neb.) Enterprise. E. R. BUTTERWORTH & SONS E. R.

Call and see the place "Three centuries ago the ancestors of American Negroes were savages inhabiting a vast continent dark with the shadow of an unrecorded past. Today the descendants of these savages dwelling in our country number ten millions. They have come in contact with a great civilization and have absorbed its elements with a marvelous rapidity. They have learned to work, have acquired the language and adopted the religion of a great people. The world knows amid what trials and sacrifices all of this has been accomplished. Though his new life and upward career did not begin until 1865, the Negro has impressed the country with his innate worth as a factor in a great civilization. He has thoroughly vindicated his capacity for indefinite improvement. The beneficiary of a splendid philanthropy, he has more than justified the hopes of his friends and he has belied the prediction of his foes. The material progress of the former slaves in forty years is one of the marvels of a wonderful country. They have 130,000 farms worth $400,000,000; homes, not including the farms mentioned, valued at $325,000,000, and personal property worth $165,000,000, making a grand total of $890,000,000, which they present to the world for their first generation of freedom. The race has developed in the meantime 30,000 school teachers, 700 physicians and more than 700 lawyers. There are 1,800,000 Negro children enrolled in the schools; 40,000 students in higher institutions of learning; 30,000 students learning trade; 12,000 pursuing classical courses; 12,000 taking scientific courses and 1,000 in business courses; 40,000 young men and women have graduated from secondary institutions of learning and 4,000 from colleges.
