SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society NORTHWEST The SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 20 SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 20 POLITICAL POT-PIE POLITICAL POT-PIE W. H. Grattan, editor of the Tacoma Sunday Graphic, who recently visited this city in the interest of Ed Hamilton's candidacy for the United States senate, thus expresses himself in the last issue of his paper on the political situation in this state: *** "Briefly, the net result of my nosing around the state, interviewing leading politicians, farmers, business men and mechanics, is the conclusion that Congressmen Cushman and Jones will certainly be returned to their places in the house of representatives, by largely increased majorities; that Mr. Humphrey will have to hurry to hold his seat against Snohomish's bright young lawyer candidate, Frances H. Brownell of Everett; that Governor McBride will fall a trifle shy of enough votes in the state convention to nominate him; that if Seattle's railroad senatorial candidate, Hon. Samuel H. Piles, and former Senator John L. Wilson were turned loose, each on his own merits, for the popular vote of Seattle, the wiry little ex-senator would swipe the votes about 3 to 2; that former Representative Roth of Whatcom will not be a candidate for governor; that Judge John E. Humphries of Seattle will develop more strength as a gubernatorial possibility than some Seattle political bosses are willing to concede; that Spokane and the Northeast are awfully sore at not having any congressional representation; that Spokane democracy will elect the bulk of their legislative ticket on a McBride platform; that the Walla Walla faction contemptuously designated 'the Boxers,' by the Ankenyites, are in the lead in the city of Walla Walla, if not in that county, etc." *** The Ankeny organ says this morning that McBride is in danger of losing control of his own county of Skagit. According to Mr. Grattan, Senator Ankeny is also in danger of losing control of his own county just as his forces lost control of the city at the July election. The truth is that the more the Ankeny organ abuses Governor McBride and the "Boxers" the stronger they become. McBride now has a good show to get the delegations to the next republican state convention from King and Pierce counties as the result of factional quarrels among his opponents, and his chances are good to get a solid delegation from eastern Washington. With this backing his nomination would be assured. *** However, from a Democratic party standpoint it is to be hoped that McBride will be defeated by the Ankeny-Stevenson combine, for that will enable the democrats to name the next governor and to elect a legislature favorable to the return of George Turner to the United States senate.—Walla Walla Statesman. *** Mayor Humes, of Seattle, after repeatedly declaring that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for re-election next year, has about made up his mind to run again. He had a close call at the last election, winning by only 500 plurality, and he is likely to be defeated next time if the democrats show good judgment in selecting their candidate. The Humes administration is held responsible for all the abominations that were exposed by the investigations of the late King county grand jury and the decent people of the city show an inclination to vote for a new deal. William Pigott is being urged to enter the race as the Democratic candidate. There is also some talk of Senator Hickman Moore. Either will have an excellent show to win.—Walla Walla Statesman. *** We notice that Senator Rands, of Clark county, has mentioned Hon. J. G. Megler, of Wahkiakum county, for nomination either as lieutenant-governor or representative to congress. It is no surprise to hear that Mr. Megler is mentioned for the above positions, as he has been quite prominent in his party and is an ambitious Republican. He might accept the nomination for lieutenant-governor, as that office would not interfere with his business as a canner, but we doubt --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1903 whether he would allow his name to be used as a congressional aspirant on account of continuous service required at Washington.—Chinook Observer. --- Senator Stansell appears to have taken the proper measure of Governor McBride in the last issue of the Saturday Spectator. McBride is not much of a politician or a man, for that matter, when you get right down to facts and size him up. He is nothing more than a blubbering blatherskite, a sizzing demagogue, a seidlitz powder stumper or a rice water logician. By the time the convention meets the public will have become so familiar with the counterfeit that nothing will remain to be done but to drop him out of the political firmament.—Spokane Spectator. Judge Fullerton, now on the supreme bench, has recently come in for favorable mention for the nomination for governor. He is from Whitman county and has not been identified with any particular faction in the state. It is said by his friends that he is the one man who can carry the solid vote of the party in Whitman county and Eastern Washington. He is equally popular on the West Side and if he can be induced to make the race would unquestionably be a formidable candidate for the nomination and no less so at the polls. He will have no opposition, apparently to a renomination to the supreme bench, but there are few men who can resist the allurements of active politics, and when the opportunity to be governor of the State of Washington is passing by, if it is in reach of even a supreme judge, it would be the exception if he did not reach out and attempt to take it in. Of course it is one thing to have the nomination in sight and another thing to be able to get it, but the accomplishment is much easier to some than to others and if Judge Fullerton goes into the race he will be less handicapped than many another who will have their lightning rods hoisted high up in the clouds. *** S. C. Cosgrove, of Garfield county, has the distinction, perhaps, of having been before the public as a gubernatorial candidate oftener and longer than any man in the state. At the last convention he could have been nominated for lieutenant governor, or congress either. He declined both and told his supporters at home that they were at liberty to take up their individual ambitions without regard to him in the future, and practically abandoned the ambition of his life. Republicans all over the state have shed tears over the fact that Cosgrove did not accept the lieutenant governorship, because he would never have precipitated the party into the factional fights and trouble that has resulted from the passing away of Rogers and the accession of McBride. Notwithstanding the chestnutty condition of Cosgrove's gubernatorial aspirations there are many things at this time that make him a greater possibility than at any time in the past. The East Side can unquestionably have the nomination if it will unite on a candidate. Neither of the larger counties seem inclined to give their solid support to any one, and up to the present time no one, with the possible exception of Judge Fullerton, has been mentioned for the nomination, on whom there is much likelihood of uniting. Cosgrove has held aloof to a large extent from the scraps during the past two years and no one is especially desirous of getting his scalp on account of troubles of a recent nature. He is a man, who if elected, would undertake to be fair with all sides and to be the executive and not the legislative end of the government as well. He could be depended upon to sign any good measure the legislature might send up to him and instead of trying to run the whole state he would probably content himself with the administration of the affairs of his own office, and he has sufficient force of character to be able to do so in a manner that would leave no reason to doubt that he was governor in fact as well as in name. While in Walla Walla the past week he said he would never again put up a fight for the nomination, but it was clear that he would not undertake the leave the state in order not to be eligible if the nomination were tendered him.—Walla Walla Union. *** A lawyer speaks: "King county wants the United States senatorship. But—but—let's have no more baby play petitions of so-called 'business men.' The LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 JBLICAN 03 PRICE FIVE CENTS last one, supposedly in the interest of a lawyer, was not signed by a single lawyer. Now, he don't like his profession or the profession don't want him. There you are." *** The Seattle Republican makes a specialty of publishing legal notices for attorneys. If you have a legal notice for publication the management hereof will take it as a personal favor if you will give one to the Republican. By referring to the seventh and eighth pages hereof you will see that this paper is already patronized by some of the attorneys of this bar in the way of legal publications, but it has more room to let for that purpose, and as said above, would consider it a personal favor if you would at least send it an occasional notice for publication. If you decide to give the paper a publication and will call up Main 305—"Republican, The"—some one from the office will call on you for the same. Do not be selfish and give a struggling fellow a small slice of your patronage. "Republican, The"—Main 305. * * * State Senator Lincoln Davis, the versatile Tacoma politician, was in the city one day this week strictly on business. "I am simply for a Pierce county man. If my county instructs for Foster I am for Foster, and if it instructs for Hamilton, I am for Hamilton. I am a candidate for re-election and am wearing no candidate's label. Pierce county will elect the next United States senator, that I feel perfectly confident of. You people in Seattle are entirely too busy to pay any attention to office seekers and we happy-go-lucky Tacomites propose to not disturb you, but leave you in your glory—we'll elect a successor to Senator Foster, you can bet your money." \* \* \* From the number of damage cases being filed against corporations in our courts it looks as though a great horde of persons are finding such a more paying and lucrative business than any other they could engage in. When juries return $20,000 damage verdicts against corporations for plaintiffs, who themselves are seriously in doubt as to whether or not they have been damaged either physically or otherwise, it does not speak well for the community furnishing such jurymen. Making corporations pay heavy damages for trivial injuries sustained by persons because said corporations have the money will not prove a very appetizing incentive for large concerns to continue to invest large sums of money in commercial enterprises in Seattle. There is such a thing as "killing the hen that lays the golden egg." * * * Samuel H. Piles, the well known attorney and United States senatorial candidate of King county, left for his old home in Kentucky last Wednesday, where he will remain some six or eight weeks in the country hunting and rusticating in general, hoping thereby to be fully restored to his usual good health. Mr. Piles has a host of friends who hope that he will realize his expectations, and return to Seattle in the possession of all of his former vigor and physical activity. \* \* \* Filipino Exhibit at the Fair. Seven hundred thousand dollars has been appropriated by the War Department for a complete exhibit of the Philippines, which will be situated on the western section of the site on the shores of Arrow Head Lake, an artificial body of water containing 8,000,000 gallons. The Philippine tract will embrace forty-five acres, including a tract of woods ten acres in extent. The buildings to be erected upon this territory, nearly one hundred in number, will be entirely of Filipino construction, and stand as architectural types of that possession. Tree-dwelling tribes of the islands will build their queer habitations in the branches of the forest. Lake-dwelling tribes will construct their houses on poles set in the water of the lake, and aquatic sports peculiar to some of the tribes of the Archipelago will take place on the lake. Canoeing, diving, water races and other diversions of that clime will furnish amusement for visitors. Nearly one thousand natives, representatives of sixty-nine different tribes of the islands, will be brought to this country in United States transports. The more bizarre types of the islands will be displayed by the Sultan of Sulu and part of his court --- WISE AND OTHERWISE. The suggestion of Lincoln Park as a site for the new armory is a good one. Shove it along. If Mr. Bryan does not put the brakes on the wheels of his prosperity he will soon be one of those plutocrats that he has held up to public detestation.—Big Bend Empire. Statuary ought to be within the reach of all men, as an Italian has constructed a mechanical sculptor, which, working after the style of a pantograph, will turn out two statues in one day, which would require an artist three months to make in the usual way. The number of new Americans who came here through our open sea-gates from July 1, 1902, to June 30, 1903, was 921,315. One-fourth of them came from Italy, and almost as many from Austria-Hungary. Ireland supplied only one-thirtieth of the number. Nickel-in-the-slot machines are in use in Dawson City, Alaska, for selling water in the winter. One can put in a nickel and get five gallons of water, but no more. It is so cold there that the water supply in the houses is shut off so that the pipes will not freeze every night. An apostle of the Mormon church rising to the travagance of declamatory speech the other day, announced in no uncertain terms that all isms are the work of the devil and are necessarily to be deplored. Under this sweeping arraignment what becomes of Mormonism?—Olympian. Now that astrologists tell us that the Democratic star has set never to rise again, has burned itself out and vanished in thin air, via the Platte, we may expect to see the cheerful adherents of this vanished orb, at their next quadrennial conclave, adopt a plank viewing "with alarm" the previousness of occult science. The poet Whittier's old house at Amesbury has been open to visitors this year. His study room is preserved just as he left it, with his favorite books and pictures in their places. His favorite kitten, now a sober yellow cat of a dozen years, still haunts the house and seems to enjoy being petted by her master's admirers. Mud mines are likely to be valuable property within a few years. The high price of coal has led to tests which prove that the common bog-mud, or peat, of which New England alone has hundreds of thousands of acres, will make good fuel. An acre of mud twenty feet deep is computed to be equal to ten thousand tons of coal. There seems to be a tendency among our Democratic friends toward making an issue against the large surplus in our national treasury; and why not? They can "point with pride" to their past record and prove beyond cavil, that they know just how to dispel that surplus. "Down with the surplus!" would be an all right battle cry.—Wilbur Register. Seattle High School boys have been suspended by the score for indulging against orders in a cane rush. They are rightly served. The pupils of a public school provided for them by the community, do not stand on the footing of the man who goes to a university and pays his way. The latter has more privileges, among these that of making an ass of himself.—Tacoma Ledger. The Prussian minister of education has issued to all schools under his control a circular in which attention is drawn to the ever-increasing number of automatic machines for the sale of chocolates and other sweets, and to the temptation these offer to school children. The minister asks teachers of schools to use every influence with the children under their care in order to prevent excesses. Did you ever go fishing in a mill pond, with an old fashioned pole hook, and line with a sinker and one of those little red bobbers on it? When a small fish came along and nibbled at the bait did you ever see such a bobbing? but it was nothing compared to the little candidates for minor state offices that are bobbing up all over the state. We are glad to say that we have heard of none in this county.—Winston's Weekly. These are a few of the buildings that scrape the sky in New York: The Park Row building, 393 feet; the Manhattan Life building, 348 feet; Madison Square Garden tower, 332 feet; St. Paul building, 317 feet; Pulitzer building (World), 309 feet; American Surety --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. building, 308 feet. The Fuller Building, commonly called "The Flatiron," is 293 feet high, and the new Times building will rise to 375 feet. Chicago's grand Masonic Temple is three feet above three hundred. Dowie may be all he pretends, but he bears too close a resemblance to the trust magnates for the people generally to accept him as divinely sent. His followers furnish the funds, perform all the labor and Dowie furnishes the brains and takes good care of the trust funds, for—well, for his own use. No locust and wild honey living for him, and when he travels it is not on foot or modestly on an ass colt, but in private Pullman cars. "Elijah" Dowie has gained notoriety enough by this time that he might make an available candidate for the Democratic nomination for President. Will some one please suggest his name to the party, i. e., W. J. Bryan. The October Housekeeper contains an interesting article on the California girl, showing her physical superiority to her Eastern cousins and assigning the reasons therefor in the superb climatic conditions that prevail so nearly the whole year round, and adds: "What is said about the California girl applies in a general way to the young people of both sexes throughout the West—New Mexico, Arizona, Oregon and Washington. It will also hold true to a great degree of the rising generation in the inter-mountain states. All through this western country we are raising a new type of young men and women—virtually a new race, destined to regenerate the United States." Prospects continue good in our neighboring city of Ballard. Work has begun on the new $15,000 Carnegie library building, which is expected to be completed by April next. Land has been purchased recently for several new manufacturing plants, while all mills and factories already established are working full time Merchants report that a large proportion of the money earned in that city is being spent with its local dealers. The Business Men's Association is taking on new life and an increasing Ballard for Ballard spirit is manifesting itself. An immense amount of needed street improvement and sewer work is being done and the city has assumed a decidedly metropolitan air. The Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden and Nor way and his son William are enthusiastic tennis players, and both played with great skill in the recent international tournament in Stockholm when the English players scored so well. All royalty and the elite were present. The Crown Prince's wife is the Princess Victoria of Baden, niece of the Kaiser, and, as she descends from the Wasas, the ancient royal house of Sweden, in her sons are blended the old and new royal houses. The handsome Prince Gustaf, the "sailor Prince of Sweden," was 19 last June, and visited England for the coronation with his father, when he won golden opinions by his winning and unaffected manners. He is a relative of the Queen. Girls, did you ever think that boys have more self-respect than the members of your sex? There is not a young man of any respectability that would be seen with a drunken girl. You might search the streets with a fine tooth comb and not find a young man who would lock arms and go promenading with a lady who is puffing a cigar or squirting tobacco juice around on the sidewalk. Girls have no hesitancy in accepting the company of such characters and too many of them are too anxious for the companionship of almost anything that wears pants. Society will be refined when the girls demand of the boys the same purity of character the boys demand of the girls. Over the heads of the young ladies of this land hangs the possibilities of the greatest moral reform that ever swept over this country.—Seneca Tribune. Senator Tillman on Amendment Repeal. Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, in response to a letter from the editor of the National Magazine, asking his opinion as to the constitutional amendment repeal proposition, writes in the October number of that magazine as follows: You ask me to express "an opinion as to whether in the life of the present generation we shall repeal the constitutional amendment granting suffrage to the Negro." I would not be willing to make a guess as to when this will be done, but my judgment is, that as it was the first great blunder in dealing with the race question after emancipation, there can be no amelioration or remedy for existing evils which are recognized by all until it is repealed. There is nothing more certain than that the whites of the South will never submit to Negro domination in any form; yet in the two states of Mississippi and South Carolina the Negroes outnumber the whites 268,870 in the first and 224,702 in the second, while in the six states, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, the relative numbers at the last census were 4,408,298 whites and 4,438,383 colored. The amendment is nullified and has been for upwards of twenty-five years. Recent amendments to state constitutions in the South have given only temporary relief. The white race is pulling against the law of gravitation as represented by the constantly increasing number of Negroes eligible to vote. There are more Negro children going to school in South Carolina and Mississippi than there are whites. When enough Negroes are educated to obtain the right to vote to outnumber the whites who can vote, then what? It is doubtful whether a race war will be postponed so long as that. It certainly can not be if northern fanatics and greedy politicians continue to urge the policy now being pursued. If the door of hope is to be kept open to the Negroes it means that it must be shut on the whites. Absolute equality before the law would mean Negro domination in two states at least, and that is something which will never be permitted. I, therefore, do not hesitate to assert that the amendment will be repealed, because I do not believe there are enough fanatics in the North to force the other alternative. The Negro must be subordinate and remain so forever or he will be exterminated. The above is so unjust, so unkind and altogether so vicious that comment is unnecessary. We produce it simply to show the conditions that the Negro race have to meet, and the handicap which holds them from advancing in the South. There is one condition or remedy that Mr. Tillman and his class overlook. There is no law to compel them to remain in a state where the Negro race outnumbers the whites. If they do not like the heritage their forefathers left for them, let them pack their freight and go hence. The world is large and opportunity is elsewhere. No Sycophantic Truckling. In speaking of President Roosevelt's labor decision the Chicago Journal says: "There was no attempt to truckle with the labor vote; no desire to disguise with honied words the untenable position of labor organizations. The pronouncement is a plain, unvarnished statement that the American laws and institutions, which we all subscribe to, must be upheld by the highest authority in the land as well as the lowest. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and other 'patriotic' citizens who baited Mr. Roosevelt with a proposition to be unfaithful in his trust, holding out the bribe of labor's support, must have felt contemptible when they heard the President's words. How sane men dare to approach the chief executive with a proposal so criminal as to shock the conscience is not easy to conceive. The action of Mr. Gompers and his friends is a fair example of the new lunacy known as 'unionists.' Only 14 per cent of the workers of this country are members of labor organizations, and for all the 14 per cent care, the balance of the great industrial force may starve. In this conspiracy to deprive the independent citizen of the means of a livelihood, President Roosevelt was coolly asked to take part, by favoring union labor in the government service. There is not a right-minded man—union or non-union—in the whole country that will not applaud his courageous stand." A New Excuse for Striking. The building trades of Sacramento, Cal., have been in the throes of of a strike that tops the list for lack of genuineness of purpose. Building operations on several of the most important structures has had a setback—not owing to wages, hours of labor, or any other seeming reason, but owing to a split in the teamsters' union. Twenty-four teamsters who were not members of the original union organized a union of their own and applied to the Building Trades Council for recognition. This was declined on the grounds that the new men should have joined the original union of thirteen, who have been accorded recognition by the council. The trouble, therefore, is not even a dispute between employer and employe, but is the result of a misunderstanding between two factions of the teamsters working in the California city. The Carpenters' union has taken issue and struck on several building in the course of erection, their theory being that they cannot consistently work lumber made non-union by its being handled by teamsters who were so unfortunate as to be on the wrong side of the Building Trades Council. Efforts are being made by the citizens of the place to have the matter amicably adjusted.—Lumber Trade Journal. The actions as above recorded are so absolutely ridiculous, even to the point of being silly, that comment is unnecessary.

Selfishness is the kill-joy of the world, but love, sympathy, brotherly fellowship, a spirit of helpfulness, these are the sources of joy, and, thank God, they are open to every one of us.—Selected. ** ** Be enthusiastic where temperance is concerned, no matter if you are sometimes called disagreeable names. Occasionally it happens that the very people who shout themselves hoarse over the election of their favorite candidate deem it a mark of weakness to show anything like animation in regard to temperance. You can be enthusiastic over golf or football, over business or study, and nothing is said, but if you are enthusiastic in temperance matters, thoroughly interested in the subject, someone is going to call you a "crank." But do not let that frighten you. It will take a much harder name than that to do you any serious harm.—Western Home Journal. Helping One Another. Christianity shames our selfishness, disarms us of hatred, inspires in us forgiveness, and opens the fountains of loving sympathy. One of the most prominent business men at the head of a great store, on being asked for the primary rule of business success, answered: "To think of the other man." He explained this answer by saying: "I can afford to lose in a transaction, but I cannot afford to have my customer lose. I may be the victim of misrepresentation, but I must not allow him to suffer from false statements, or from any hidden defects in the goods he buys. He must learn to trust me implicitly in regard to my goods, and to see that I would much prefer to suffer myself than to have him suffer. I must make my customer my friend." There is no question that that was a wise business utterance, and if that is true in business, how much more true when you come into the realm of Christian fellowship.

A knowledge of the Bible is regarded as essential to an intelligent piety, and as the only sure foundation of civil religious liberty. "An open bible for all" is the motto for Protestant Christianity. It aims to put the Bible into every home, and to secure instruction in its wonderful teachings to every child born in our land. Sunday schools, mission schools and Bible schools have multiplied without precedent, and a countless host of laborers are engaged in the work of instruction. But is the Bible read as earnestly and intelligently as it ought to be, as when it was less circulated? Is there as celar and well defined a knowledge of its great truths as in other days? All the people, young and old, ought to be so well instructed in it as to become familiar with its leading historical facts and its prominent doctrines. Every one should make the word of God the "man of his counsel," drink in its spirit, meditate on it day and night, and whence ever occasion affords do his utmost to transmute everything into pure gold. "A wholesome tongue is the tree of life."—Prov. 15:4—Rev. B. F. Campbell. Latin American Republics and Catholicism. A movement profoundly affecting the cause of religious liberty in South America has been initiated and brought to issue, says the Literary Digest, whereby the governments of the United States, Great Britain and Germany have been induced to instruct their respective ministers at Lima, Peru, to urge upon the Peruvian government a repeal of the laws prohibiting Protestant worship. Under existing conditions, the Protestants of Peru, as well as of Ecuador and Bolivia, are compelled to conduct their services as "private affairs," and public religious gatherings are not permitted unless conducted by Roman Catholic priests. A bill to amend the constitution of Peru and guarantee freedom of public worship was recently introduced in the legislature of that country, but has as yet been excluded from consideration by party wrangles. The struggle for religious liberty in South America presents may features of interest. The Northwestern Christian Advocate (Chicago, Methodist), to which we are indebted for the facts above stated, says: "We believe that one of the most important battles of the present age is this battle for public worship in Peru. We believe that it will end with a crowning victory. We know that it has been fought in the face of terrible opposition." The Chicago Interior (Presbteryian) trusts that, under the strong pressure brought to bear upon Peru, that South American republic "will soon amend its ecclesiastical laws," and rejoices in the thought that "once this bigoted restriction is removed Protestant mission work in that country may be expected to enjoy greatly accelerated progress." The Christian Advocate (Nashville, Tenn.), the general organ of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, comments: "A republic with an established church is an anomaly, especially if that establishment be Romanism. Peru will find the road toward a popular government a thorny one so long as she persists in this partnership. Civil liberty can not exist without religious liberty. It is impossible for our southern neighbors to become republics in the true sense of the word while they strive to compel all their citizens to be Roman Catholics."

The better way to put it would be this prosperity will last so long as the country remains Republican, unless the action of organized labor, in its refusal to work, thereby causing a suspension of industry, shall bring on hard times, which is not in the least improbable; and it is not so certain that this is not part of the plan of scheming Democracy to discredit Republican prosperity and create an unheaval, with a hope of again gaining control of the offices.

From the criticism being made by the daily press upon the drinking fountain, with advertising proclivities, that has been erected at a sample, one would thing it a monster of hideous mein. While by no means a beauty, yet its utility is of a nature to cover a multitude of faults, and if it comes to a question of advertising fountains or no fountains, give the people fountains, advertisements and all. The persistency with which their rejection is urged savors strongly of a boycott of Cedar river water at the instance of the Liquor Dealers' Association that so recently passed resolutions to assist one another in business. The more drinking fountains the lighter the sales of Rainier and Tannhauser. Of course they are objectionable. Capitol Hill... Nature's most favored spot for lovely Residences. One hundred new residences within the past 12 months :: "There is a destiny that shapes our ends, rough hew them though we may." It was not long since that the calamity howlers were having the country gone to the bowwows on account of the trusts, and great combinations of capital. Conservative persons also viewed the situation with apprehension, but the destiny is at work and trusts, through the weakness of their massiveness and seeming strength, have begun to totter and crumble away. Large combinations of capital will—must remain to meet the demands of modern times. Trusts will no doubt continue in existence, but not as so great a menace to the life and prosperity of smaller industries, as many feared. There is nothing gained by taking a pessimistic view of matters, but remember that this nation has not yet fulfilled its destiny, and that "there is a destiny that shapes our ills, rough hew them though we may." Moore Investment Co. LUMBER EXCHANGE BUILDING PHONE MAIN 60 Call on us for YOUR PIANO OUR PRICES and It looks very much as though the liquor dealers in the state have been very active, since passing a resolution at their recent meeting in this city authorizing the raising of a corruption fund for the advancement of their interests. Glance over the state exchanges leads one to believe that a "fund" has already ben raised and put to work, from the articles that appear in certain papers condemning the anti-canteen law. The articles put out could only be written, so it would seem, in an effort to say something for hire. Not the honest sentiments of a well balanced, sane mind, to say the least. If, as some of these trucklers declare, nine-tenths or more of our soldier boys are beer guzzlers and resort to outside dives to get what they cannot get at a post exchange or canteen, it is time, not to encourage the custom by letting each one be a partner in a beer saloon as well as a patron thereof, but to do as many leading corporations do; clean up the army, discharge the drunkards and recruit the service with sober men.

STEINWAY DEALERS THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS The continued prosperity of the farmers of the nation, despite the financial troubles in Wall street, is a sad blow to the Republican theory that prosperity originates among the financiers and leaks down upon the farmers and laboring men.—Colfax Commoner. BREWERY The Commoner man has gone a long stretch out of his way to display his ignorance, and at the same time belie the Republican party. The highest compliment that could be paid to the Republican class of prosperity is that the country remains prosperous in spite of financial troubles in Wall street. The Republican party believes in that class of prosperity which begins with opening the mills and factories, and giving employment to the laboring men. With the laboring men employed at good waes, the prosperity of the farmer is assured, for then there is market and money for his products. Without this of what avail is good crops? The financiers of Wall street had naught to do with the present prosperity, nor did the Republican party ever claim it must originate with them. They are a set of gamblers. Prosperity of the Republican brand is not based upon gamblers or glambling but upon keeping the mills and factories open, by protecting the laboring men from the competition of European cheap labor. We know, brother, this is a hard dose for you and your kind to swallow, but the bone and sinew of this nation, the laboring men, appreciate the situation, and to all such frantic efforts as your misstatement, above quoted, they simply "wink the other eye."

Week’s Work As water is a conductor for elec- tricity the question is often raised if there is danger to a fireman handling a hose when the water therefrom comes in contact with a live wire. Some recent German experiments prove that there is practically no dan- ger unless the nozzle of the hose is held within two or three inches of the electric current upon which the water is playing. The so-called celluloid combs are manufactured from a modification of gun cotton, and as the original patents for celluloid manufacture have ex: pired an inferior article much more combustible is on the market. An in- stance is recorded by the Medical Press and Circular of a young lady be- ing badly injured by the explosion of a dressing comb in her hair, while she was bending over a hot stove, cooking dinner. It would not be just the thing to draw a moral and advise the wearers of dressing combs not to cook, but it would be wise to beware of fires and explosions when using or wearing celluloid articles, Cassier’s Magazine, speaking on “Available Sources of Power,” to be utilized when coal shall have been» so far exhausted as to make it impracti- cable, after referring to electricity from water power, says “A possible remaining source is the heat from the sun, This is reckoned at about 10,000 horsepower per acre.” Practical re- sults have been obtained with a solar engine, at a cost estimated to be about $75 per horsepower per year. Over a large area of the earth sun power would be impracticable, because of cloudy weather; but in the tropical regions, especially, it would be. The author thinks eventually, when the coal supply has been exhausted, migra- tion will take place towards warmer regions lying principally between lati- tude 30 degrees north and south, Here all ordinary domestic needs are satis- ted, where sunshine is available, and the demands of power using industries can be readily met where hydraulic power is available or by solar power in the sunshine. It is not generally known that nat- ural gas is found and utilized in Eng- land, Cosmos gives the following facts “In Sussex natural gas was found some time ago, and in 1896 in digging a well near Heathfield there took place at a depth of 95 meters (312 feet) a flow sufficient to give a flame 4 to 5 meters (about 16 feet) high. It was resolved to utilize this gas, and it has served since 1898 to light the Heathfield station. * * * The gas has a pressure of as much as 9 kilo- grams (20 pounds); it also runs a small motor. The south of England seems to offer serious possibilities in this regard.” An effort to awaken mothers to the fact that a fat child is not necessarily healthy is made by The Lancet (Lon- don), which says, in the course of its remarks: “It is a matter of clinical experience that a fat bady is un- healthy, with little resistance to dis- ease, and likely to succumb on the least provocation to any of the so. called minor ailments of infancy. It is very greatly to be regretted that baby-shows, if they are to be held at all, cannot be utilized for educating the laity to admire in babies those ‘points’ which are genuinely deserv- ing of admiration and expressive of a physiological condition, instead of act: ing, as they do, as direct inducements to overfeeding with foods which fatten, but do not produce sound, healthy tis sues.” “The general public, we fear, is not acquainted with the dangers arising from arsenic coloring matter in wall paper,” says the Scientific American. “A recent death in Palmer, Mass., is directly attributed, by the medical au- thorities, to this cause. The trouble which resulted so disastrously made its appearance a year and a half ago, in what seemed to be nervous dyspep: sia, Two months of travel abroad seemed to greatly improve the pa tient, but on returning home he soon grew worse again. On account of certain conflicting symptoms whicl could not be readily accounted for, « specialist was called in and gave i as his opinion that there was arsenic poisoning in the system. An invest! gation was then made which resulte¢ in the discovery of arsenic colors in the wall paper of the sitting room.” | Locomotive trials of a scientific na ture will be carried out under the gen leral direction of the Pennsylvania ‘Railroad at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, That company will have an elaborate display covering all fea tures of railroading, which will be in ‘charge of Mr. F. D, Casanave, for- merly general superintendent of mo- tive power on both the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio systems. Mr. Casanave is now in Europe to secure sne co-operation of railway companies there in these tests, in order that the results may be comprehensive as re- spects types of locomotives which are tested. The Pennsylvania Railroad in- tends to give every facility for making these trials of the greatest possible usefulness, and it is reasonable to ex- pect that the tests of representative engines from many countries under exactly similar conditions will do much to clear up certain disputed matters of design, Count de la Vaulx and Count d’Ou- trement recently succeeded in jour neying from Paris, France, to Hull Yorkshire, in a balloon in seventeen and three-quarter hours. This is the ‘first time that a balloon has success fully traveled from France to Eng: land. The Count de la Vaulx is one the best-known of French aeronauts. He is chiefly known for his successful ‘attempt to cross the Mediterranean. | An immense artificial cascade has ‘been determined upon by the authori- ‘ties of the Louisiana Purchase Ex- position as the centerpiece of the semi-circular layout of the princi- pal buildings. The cascade itself will be divided into three parts; a large middle cascade with a smaller one at each side will be installed, the water flowing directly into the head of the Grand Basin, In all, about 90,000 gal- lons of water per minute will be sup- plied at a head of 159 feet, forming tue greatest artificial water effect ever ‘ettempted: | Colombia, notwithstanding the re- jection of the Panama canal treaty, seems very anxious for the United States to further treat with them. The majority of the people would have ‘been satisfied to have the treaty rati- fied, but the official class held out seemingly through mercinary reasons. They present a bold holdup proposi- tion, If this government will pay the Colombian government $25,000,000 in addition to the $40,000,000 to be paid to the French company, all well, if not they will play a waiting game for six years, when the French franchise ex- pires, By that time they may be able to give away their canal right for want of some one to take it. Eastern Washington is undergoing remarkable climatic changes, accord- ing to the state grain inspector. Ow- ing probably to increased acreage cul- tivation, rain has fallen, during the past few years, on heretofore “dry” belts and without the help of irriga- tion large districts have been added to the grain producing section. The number of persons lately arrest- ed in the vicinity of the White House in Washington, who evidently had designs upon the life of the President, has caused an awakening in official circles that no doubt will result in de- cided legislation in the matter of affording protection for the lives of our Presidents. That such a step is necessary is humiliating to a free re public like ours, but that it should be necessary, that danger exists, is only a logical sequence to our criminally lax immigration laws, and our lethargy in prosecuting anarchists and other un-American classes harbored among us. The high joint commission which has been sitting in London, to decide the Alaska boundary question, has come to the only conclusion an honest tri- bunal could reach, and that is a rec- ognition of the contentions of this country, except a slight modification as to the Portland canal. The report is signed by a majority of the commis- sioners, but the Canadian members re- fuse to sign it and submit to the de- cision with very poor grace. Thus the matter ends. John Alexander Dowie, self-styled “Blijah the IL” of Zion City, near Cht- cago, invaded New York City with 4,000 followers the first of the week and are conducting a campaign the na- |ture of which is a little problematical. [Oeteaainly and professedly of a Chris- tian character, but judging from the acts and sayings of Dowie himself the verdict of Rev. C. H. Parkhurst is vot jfar wrong. In a caustic letter to the prophet (?) he said, “I went to hear [Fou preach: the, gospel, but * you preached Dowie, Zion City, stink job.” From the news accounts of his meet- ings he is likely to accomplish noth- ‘ing in New York except to expose his own hypocracy. Another chapter in the comedy of errors, with relation to the state capi- tal building at Olympia, has been on the boards this week. The suit of contractor Goss, begun months ago to enforce certain claims for extras, has been on the move again and the con- tract for the power and lighting plant has again been let to Kilbourne, Clark & Co. of this city. Possibly this build- ing will be completed some time in the dim misty. The Alaska Central Railroad Com- pany has begun definite work upon the road long projected by them, be- ginning at Seward on Resurrection Bay, and Seward is experiencing a genuine boom. There seems to be much valuable territory tributary to that point, territory rich in minerals, timber and agricultural possibilities. A large amount of substantial build- ing is being crowded to completion, Washington, according to an address made by James J. Hill of the Great Northern railroad, at the Dakota Irri- gation Congress in Bismarck the other day, has 15,000,000 acres of arid land which can be irrigated. Idaho 10,000,- 000, Montana 30,000,000, and North and South Dakota 15,000,000, making a total of 70,000,000, Washington, con- tinued Mr. Hill, with her wonderful richness, can support millions of ad- ditional farmers, giving each a sub- stantial farm from the land suitable for irrigation alone. It is believed that J. D. Farrell, as sistant to President J. J. Hill of the Great Northern railroad, just returned to this city from St. Paul, and who has been tendered the presidency of the Northern Pacific system, will not accept that tempting offer, but prefers to remain in Seattle in his present position, and incidentally at the head of the new Oriental traffic department just assuming large proportions. President Roosevelt has issued the formal proclamation convening con- gress in extraordinary session on ‘November 9th, nearly a gnonth before the regular date for coming together of the Fifty-eighth session. The only reason assigned for the earller meet- ing is the consideration of the Cuban reciprocity treaty. The little shake up over local gam- bling last week caused the sheriff's loffice to become aware that numerous slot machines were in operation, in violation to the law, and the confisca- tion of the same, with the arrest of the owners, Their cases are set for trial the last of the month. On the outcome of which the public will judge of the real attitude of our officials on the anti-gambling law. A new treaty is announced between Russia and China whereby Russia gains practical control of Manchuria under a nominal Chinese government. Thus the disintegration of China goes on and Russia extends her borders, through the criminal non-interference of other powers. The failure of the International Bank and Trust Company, at Mexico City, on Monday, caused a suspension of the branch of the same institution located in this city. It is given out that depositors will be paid in full. The City of Aberdeen, the business portion of which was wiped out by fire a week ago, will, like all Western towns similarly overcome, will rise from its ashes a better and more sub: stantial city. It was a wooden town that burned, the new Aberdeen ‘will be of brick and stone. Winter has closed the Yukon river too soon or freight steamers have been too slow, as a consequence much freight will not reach Dawson this fall, and prices are apt to range high in some lines before spring. Low water on tht upper Yukon is also re- sponsible for inability of much over- land freight to reach the northern metropolis. As to Sleeping Dogs. One Southern newspaper remembers pacha history to take a view of the [negro problem that 1s wider, at least in its prudence, than its editor's back asi The New Orleans Item pro- ltests vigorously against the cry raised by the Tillmans and the Vardamans, echoed even by leaders of such re- puted sagacity as Senator Gorman, for the repeal of the fifteenth amend: ment. “The South,” observes the Item, “was in no danger in 1860, Although Mr. Lincoln was elected, it was by a minarity vote. Congress and the Supreme Court were Democratic. ‘There was not the least fear that slav- ery could be touched for an indefinite period. But our leaders looked ahead into the future and raised the shad- owy issue. On this they wrecked the South, If they had waited for an overt act it is probable that the slave ques- tion would have died of inanition.” ‘The slavery question would not have ‘died of inanition, for it could never be settled until it was settled right by freeing the slaves. But it is well snown that Mr, Lincoln would have countenanced no dealing with the slavery question that did not respect the rights of property—that he favored a gradual emancipation with fair com- pensation to slave owners. But the south, under the delusion that slavery was to be directly attacked, struck at the nation’s life, And the South paid the penalty. “Now the Southern leaders,” con- tinues the Item, “fools like Tillman and Vardaman, and even wise men like Williams and Sherman, propose once more to raise the race issue in another form and not await the overt act. In a period of profound peace they invite political restriction , national public schools, exclusive national militia and other assumptions of authority by Congress which would soon wipe out the last vestige of state sovereignty.’ The Romans had a good maxim— ‘Quieta non movere.’ In other words, don’t kick a sleeping dog.” In plain truth there is very little dis- position in the rest of the nation to interfere with any reasonable restric- tions which the South may put upon the suffrage. The feature of the South- ern attitude toward the negro that does irritate the rest of the nation is not the present denial of political priv- ileges to illiterate negroes, but the as- sumption of certain Southerners that no negro can ever possibly become the political equal of a white man, ‘What stirs the conscience of the na- tion is the declared resolution of cer- tain Southern leaders to bar the door of hope and opportunity against the negro forever. Such resolutions and declarations are as unnecessary as they are offensive. The South is in no danger now. But let it prudently refrain from kicking sleeping dogs too often and too hard.—Inter Ocean, IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, in and for King County.

Just forty-four years ago yesterday, at 2 o'clock in the morning, a sleepy sentinel going to duty at the United States arsenal at Harpers Ferry, was astonished at being halted and informed that he could not enter the arsenal. To his inquiry: "By what authority do you forbid my entrance?" the reply came quick and clear: "By the authority of Almighty God." The shadow of John Brown's gallows was beginning to fall on the sacred soil of Virginia. This old man—Ossawattomie Brown he was called—with twenty-two followers had invaded the state of Virginia and captured an arsenal of the government, for the purpose of causing an insurrection of the southern slaves. Only four of the twenty-two escaped. The rest were killed in an engagement with the forces of the United States, or were executed by the state of Virginia. With one son dead at his side, and another wounded, John Brown, with intrepid courage, cheered the nearts of his little band, and set them an example of bravery that Leonidas at Thermopylae might have envied. Then came the assault, and then the trial and execution. Gov. Wise of Virginia, in refusing to pardon young Cook of Indiana, declared: "I will never pardon him. If I pardon anyone I will pardon John Brown." On his way to the gallows the old man stopped and kissed a little negro child. In less than six brief years the same hand—that of Robert E. Lee—that pointed the charge to capture the old man at Harpers Ferry, surrendered the sword of slavery to General Grant at Appomattox. This is the irony of fate.—Winston's Weekly, October 17. PRESBYTERIANS SETTLE THE "PROBLEM." As already noted in The Appeal, the Presbyterians have tackled the alleged "race problem" and settled it in the only way that will be acceptable to the great majority of the Afro-American people. There are 15,000 Afro-American members in the Presbyterian church and by the action of the committee on territorial limits the Afro-American members will not be set apart as a separate denomination. At the committee meeting this much was developed: "1. No favor will be given to a separate church idea. "2. No recommendation will be TRY IT NOW Washington Blend Coffee BEST 35c COFFEET ON THE MARKET FREE WITH ONE POUND DAINTY BLUE CHINA CREAMER, 25c VALUE.

The committee, which was composed of both Northern and Southern men, will make its report to the general assembly at Buffalo, N. Y., next May. The decision of the committee is the only one that true Christians could possibly make. There should be no color line in the church—nor anywhere else, for that matter. Any Caucasian who objects to the fellowship of his Afro-American brother is not a true follower of Christ.—St. Paul Appeal.

They have secured the old Presbyterian church building corner Third avenue and Marion street, and will hold their first services in the city next Sunday forenoon, afternoon and evening. Rev. G. W.

"Because she's dry, miss." "Dry?" "Yes, miss. She's been dry for two weeks."

At midnight recently a policeman found a man lying on the grass under a tree in a park, and he aroused him. "Come, mister, no one can sleep here." "But I have a good excuse," replied the man. "What is it?" "See that house over there? Well, please to do me the favor to go and ring the bell and ask if William Dockey is at home." The officer went to the house, as- In Europe today millions of men, the physical flower of the continent, are marching and counter-marching, practicing at targets, learning the use of bayonet and sabre, and performing as nearly as possible in sham fights the evolutions of actual war. It was so yesterday and last year, and through all the yesterdays of twenty years. Probably there are now some 20,000,000 Europeans not yet beyond middle life who have been trained to the fighter's profession, and who could at briefest notice take their place in the active army or in the reserve. Every city has its barracks and parade grounds, every frontier frowns with a double row of fortifications.

A head' was thrust out of an open window and a female voice demanded: "Now, who is there?" "Madam," replied the officer, "is William Dockey at home?" "No, sir, and I don't expect him until daylight!" snapped the woman, and at the same moment a bowful of water descended on the officer's head and half drowned him. "Well," said the man on the grass, as the dripping officer came up, "you see how it is, don't you? I'm Dockey. That's Mrs. Dockey." "I think I see," remarked the officer. "You can remain where you are." "I can't understand how Mrs. Smiley can waste so much time with her pet dog." "Well, you would if you had ever met her husband."—Inter Ocean. "Miss Ethel is a long time coming down," said the youth to the servant, after waiting some time for the young lady's appearance.
