SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST Historical Society The SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 21 SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 21 POLITICAL POT-PIE * "I understand," said a prominent ward politician one day this week, "that the court house of this county is literally full of office holders, who are and will be candidates for nomination and election for other offices next year, who, if successful, will in effect create a court house ring, as it will mean an eight year feeding at the public crib for the same fellows. Now, I for one, am not disturbed over the matter, for I believe they will all be turned down and new men given an opportunity to do service for their country by regularly drawing their salaries every thirtieth day and looking wise the other twenty-nine. Of course there is not half as much money made in holding a public office as in doing business on one's own hook, but some how or other, it seems, when a fellow gets hold of a public teat its like grim death itself to tear him away from it." *** "Those fellows," the loquacious politician continued, "reminds me of two Dutchmen who were traveling together on foot. Miles from water they ran across a terrapin creeping along at the usual terrapin gait, but with head, feet and tail extended as though he was floating along in twenty fathoms of water. Having an ax with them, it was but the work of a moment, as they thought, to dispatch Mr. Terrapin, and almost instantly the ax had seemingly fell across his neck, but not so, for he was too quick for the ax wielder, and like greased lightning in went his head into his hole and almost as quickly went his hole in after his head. Life for a while seemed extinct, and, why not, for was not his head cut off, and yet Mr. Terrapin would occasionally try to get away. One of the Dutchmen declared him dead because his head was cut off, the other remonstrated, how can he be dead, admitting that his head is cut off, when he continues to try to get away? They were sorely perplexed over the situation, and were about ready to give up in despair when they espied an Irishman coming toward them and decided to lay the matter before him with the hope of getting some light on the subject. * * * It took them but a few moments after they had met Pat to explain their trouble, and their dispute and the first began: "I am sure, said the ax wielder, that I cut his head off, which was acquiesced in by the other and here he is with no head as you see. I say he is dead, but, because he tries to get away when you put him on the ground, my friend thinks that he is not dead and the loss of his head is no serious disadvantage to him. The Irishmen heard both sides of the question and he too seemed much troubled as to the real state of affairs of Mr. Terrapin. He thought and he thought, but soon a happy solution to the whole situation flashed over his mind, and with a grin that spread over his entire face, plainly showing the map of Ireland and all of the inhabitants thereof, he deliberately begun: After hearing both sides of this question I've come to the conclusion that the terrapin is dead, yes, dead as Dick's hat band, but he don't know it, and that's why he tries to get away when you put him down." * * * There seems to be no end to the number of persons in King county who have already signified their willingness to fill the various county offices for the ensuing two years after the next general election, even though they do so at a great financial loss to themselves. It is perhaps all of nine months before the Republicans will hold their next county convention to nominate men to be voted for in November and fully twelve months before they are voted for and yet there are candidates galore already working like dick nailers for every office in the gift of the voters, and a hundred times as many more working like Trojans for every office in the gift of the successful fellows in the convention and subsequently at the polls. A thing that is not worth working for is not worth having, and therefore each and every one of them is to be commended for the efforts he is putting forth in his own behalf, for, after all, self is the most important personage among either partisans or politicians. The Pie-maker has picked up a few names of persons who are candidates for Republican nominations in King county, which he will enumerate below. --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1903 It is believed that the five superior judges will be candidates for a second nomination. Judges Griffin, Bell and Tallman will have served as superior court judges for four years at the next convention time, and having made good records it is natural that they expect a re-nomination and election. Judge Morris will have served two years at that time, but he has made himself very popular among both the lawyers and the people, and it is predicted by all that he will be unanimously renominated as well as elected. Judge Albertson will have served two years, having fallen heir to the "honor" by appointment at the hands of Governor MeBride. He too has made a record that verges on to the brilliant, so say the attorneys, and it is believed that he will be honored with a nomination by the next convention. Despite these favorable omens for the continuation of the present judicial roster of this county for another four years, other attorneys will likewise seek those nominations, and are already working day and night for their own success. Among that number might be named: A. W. Frater, John K. Brown, J. W. Murphy, Edward Von Toble, F. S. Thorp (Ballard), J. E. Hawkins, John F. Miller, Solon T. Williams and others. There may be a dearth of political timber for some of the offices, but not so for the judiciary nominations. *** The shriveality contest promises to be a warm baby, as some of the most popular menand politicians of the county are seeking Republican endorsement for that office. Thus far the man who seems to be in the lead is J. W. McConnaughey, the present county treasurer. He seems to have a strong country following and especially so if it be true that he, Dr. C. E. Hoye and his friends, have come to a campaign understanding over the matter. *** Dr. C. E. Hoye is himself a very strong candidate for this nomination, and, if he can command even half of the strength that he did twice in succession for county coroner, there is no denying the fact that he will make it interesting for the winner. The doctor has served two terms as coroner and has added much during that time to his previous public popularity. *** One George B. Lamping, who seems to think the county and state owes him an office because he was in the late Spanish-American war, is also a candidate for this nomination. He has been twice elected county auditor and notwithstanding the fact that he has held the office for four years, it is said that he is as ignorant of its workings as one who has never been inside of it, yet he still demands more public favor. Humanity has some queer streaks. *** Captain Ward and Detective Kennedy, both of the local police force, are also candidates for this nomination. Both of these gentlemen have elements of strength and will cut some considerable ice in the fight. Kennedy, owing to certain political affiliations, is quite strong in the country. * * * Capt. J. A. Stringer, who is now in the Philippines on official business, has not as yet abandoned the hope of being sheriff of King county and will therefore be in the next convention fight until the nominee is actually named. ** ** Harry A. Bigelow, he of California oil fame, it is claimed, has about made up his mind to take a hand in the fight and if possible secure for himself this nomination. In the list of announced candidates for this nomination the name of Mike Kelly, who has continuously resided in and about South Seattle for the past forty odd years, should not be overlooked, for he proposes to give the winner a merry chase for his money. Regardless of this long string of candidates there are others that have the bee in their bonnets and who will, long before the time of the assembling of the next county convention, announce their candidacies for this nomination. It is the best paying office in the state and that explains why so many office seekers are after it. *** Of course the present prosecuting attorney, W. T. Scott, will ask for a re-nomination. He, to be sure, will be bitterly fought by many who were for him two years prior, but if he will continue to "make good," as he is LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 JBLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS at the present time, he has more than a fighting show to succeed himself. The mere fact that the Clancys and their friends will be against him will strengthen him in other factions of the party. *** It is now being hinted about the streets that Herman W. Craven will also be a candidate for the place. Mr. Craven is now a deputy in Mr. Scott's office, but does not claim to be so much a protege of the prosecutor as of the county commissioners and the public, and, therefore, feels at liberty to become a candidate if the situation "looks good to him." * * Milo A. Root, who refused a position in Mr. Scott's office unless he was given $5,000 per year, is also said to be a candidate for the office. He will be a very strong candidate should he decide to go after the nomination, as he is a reliable politician and stands par excellent among all classes. * * * Kenneth McIntosh, a young but popular attorney, is whetting up for the fight. He having the wherewithal in the bank to make things lively in a primary and convention, will doubtless announce himself as a fit successor to Mr. Scott before very many moons more. *** Scott Calhoun, the city grade tax attorney, will, it is said, soon enroll his name among those who desire to look after the legal business of the county. Mr. Calhoun has not many enemies in the county, and it is thought he too will be a popular candidate. *** For county clerk, now so ably filled by C. A. Koepfli, the woods are full of candidates. Three deputies in the office are out for the place. C. E. Plempton, who knows the office like a book, owing to his long experience therein, has announced his candidacy. * * D. K. Siekles, also a deputy in the office, and seemingly a very popular politician, has likewise announced his candidacy for the self same nomination. *** Next comes the announcement that the popular James M. Brewster, another deputy in the same office, will call upon his friends to help him get the nomination. * * * While Hon. Edgar C. Raines is not exactly a deputy of the clerk's office yet he works under its direction and he too is anxious to succeed Mr. Koepfli, which makes four aspirants from the same office. *** It will doubtless be news to even many of the politicians to learn that ex-County Commissioner George N. Gilson has an ambition to succeed Mr. Koepfli and his friends have already begun to line up for him. *** The office of county treasurer may be a very responsible one and one that the average candidate hesitates before tackling, but already two candidates have announced themselves as seeking this nomination. Benjamin Levy, who has been a chief deputy in the office for the past twelve or more years hopes to succeed his present superior. Levy is a Grand Army man, a good Republican and evidently an efficient deputy or he could not have held his position as long as he has. *** Capt. Matt Gormerly, who is one of the most popular politicians in the county, is also an aspirant for this nomination. He too has a war record and likewise a splendid office record, for as city treasurer for the past two years he has been a gigantic success. If he succeeds in his efforts he will endeavor to inaugurate some much needed changes in the workings of the office. *** It is generally conceded that John W. Peters will succeed himself as county assessor. No one at least has made known his desire to cross swords with him for the nomination. * * * Strange to say, notwithstanding the multiplicity of the announced candidates for all of the other offices, no one has made any efforts to line up for the county auditorship. The present official can not constitutionally succeed himself and if some of the many aspirants for the above named offices would switch to the county auditorship they might make a hit for themselves. The office pays well and there is no reason why one or many good men should not seek it. --- SVMs LEV Aen If rumor, however, can be relied upon a number of candidates will soon announce themselves for the audi- torship nomination. eee It has already been suggested by a very strong sev- enth warder that John Van Horn would make an ideal candidate for the place. He is well and favorably known and would win, if he went into the fight. see Harold J. Lea’s name has also been suggested and sooner or later he may become an active candidate for the auditorship. se ‘The county superintendent of public education nom- ination is attracting little or no attention. The present incumbent has to constitutionally retire and he is an aspirant for the stae superinendency. see All of the county commissioners are to be elected next year. Baker, it is believed, will succeed himself. L. C. Smith will retire and will not be a candidate again. P. J. Smith may again seek the position, and he may seek the nomination for sheriff, but which ever he does he will come pretty near winning if he really does not actually win. : es eee 7 The ablest weekly Republican paper in this state is edited by a Negro at Seattle. Bro. Cayton’s Po- litical Pot Pie is an exceedingly interesting swm- ming up of events on the political checkerboard.— Washington (Pomeroy) Independent. ‘Thanks awfully, my Democratic brother, for the com- pliment. Now if there is anything from a mine to a mountain, from a dog to a dollar, or from a pie to a “pie-maker’’ that you would like to have just name it and it will be yours. sae “It is predicted,”’ says the Seattle Republican, ‘‘that Governor McBride will be able to hold together some twenty votes that will drill whenever he directs. Of course his first choice of a drill ground would be in Me- Bride’s back yard, but his second choice would be in Preston’s and his third choice in Senator Turner’s.’” Perhaps that is one reason the Democratic press is whooping it up for MeBride—they think they ean stand a long shot at the ‘‘third choice.’’—Colfax Gazette. se 8 Seattle wants the United States senator—wants him bad. No very bad man is likely to apply for the job. Let’s adopt this rule. Let Seattle support the home man who has the largest outside support. Don’t fail into factions and divisions over home folks. Lets elect a Seattle delegation who knows how to work for Se- attle in the legislature. No delegation should be in- structed further than to work for Seattle and King eomnty. SEATTLEITE, Tales of the Town Illicit love, murder, suicide! Thus briefly the tale is told of the life and death of Gladys Grey and Claude N. Arbuckle, Without the formality of a marriage ceremony they had lived together until Gladys saw one she loved better. As no vows bound her she forsook Claude and took up with her new-found love. Unable to win her back, Arbuekle resorts to the meth- ods of his class, kills the woman and then blows out his own brains. The last shot was well taken, and who can say the other was not deserved? We do not say this to defame the dead; their sins have found them out, and their past secret lives are now an open book, gazed upon and read by the gaping multitude. The lesson is for the living. There are hundreds, some say thousands of similar eases in this wicked city; thous- ands, whose manner of living, upon a close inspection, would not pass muster any better than did those of these two wo have paid the penalty with their lives. Close at the feet of many of these a powder magazine, as liable to explode as did the one in the hands of Claude N. Arbuckle, Well for them if they will take the warning before it is too late. ‘The Ninth ward division proposition has been tabled by the honorable iety council by a resolution not to divide any ward until the whole city may be gone over and a plan arranged for a new general redistricting. ‘As this is badly needed in many parts of the city it is to be hoped it will not be long delayed. ‘At last the worm has turned and Seattle’s boss gam- blers, the Clancy brothers, are under arrest on a charge of felony. It is not the province of the Prosecuting ‘Attorney to assume police authority and ferret out crime, hence it is doubtful if these arrests would have been made had not the Claneys, or one of them, at least, as a result of a quarrel among their kind, publicly ad- mitted that games were running, which admission seemed to implicate the Prosecuting Attorney’s office. ‘As it has been pretty generally known that gambling was going on, and Claney has admitted it, it ought not THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. to be diffieult to convict the whole bunch; but will it be done? To send this bunch of gamblers ‘‘over the road”’ will be a high feather in W. T. Scott’s cap and make him a formidable candidate to sacceed himself, as well as be a wholesome lesson to the whole of the Claney elass. 3 In view of the fact that this city is bounded from A to Izzard, and every vacant lot, nearly, fenced in'by billboards, plastered over with unsightly, and in many instances, with vile advertising announcements that continually shock the sensibilities of refined, moral people, besides being a constant menace to the moral development of the children of the city, the agitation against the advertising fountains seems foolishly incon- sistent. While it is well not to add to the hideousness of our streets by the placing thereon of more unsightly objects, yet why this agitation against a thing of real benefit to life, both human and animal, and not a word of criticism or objection to the more hideous and really pernicious billboards? The jewel of consistency is sadly lacking in the mental makeup of some people. While the man who wrote to the Mayor of Troy, N. Y., from this city, stating that there was a scarcity of women and suggested a matrimonial bureau was a fakir, and no real ground exists for the statement of a marriageable women shortage, yet the idea of a matri- monial bureau seems to have been favorably received by some parties. Just why one would accept the inter- position of an agency in seeking a life companion in- stead of resorting to the good old plan of love and courtship, is hard to understand upon any basis except that in these extremely practical times, with some, marriage is looked upon as a mere business convenience. This may acount for the excess amount of business required of our divorce courts. Dr. H. F. Smith, who at one time boasted of having the largest practice of any dentist in the city, is now located in the Downs block and is anxious to again get his old customers and their friends as his patrons. His former customers went to other dentists during his absence from the city, but having returned some time ago and fitted up an elegant office and dental par- lor in the Downs is prepared to serve you as in the past. Better than a Klondike is what H. H. Dearborn has found Seattle tide flat property to be, for there is al- ways an element of uncertainty in a Klondike, but there sems to be none in Seattle tide flats. Dearborn & Co. have just sold four lots for $70,000, which but a few years ago cost them only #700. The rapidity with which this property is being secured by those who de- sign using them for business and manufacturing sites is very flattering to the prospects of the city. It is encouraging that even semi-occasionally recog- nition is taekn in this city of the fact that dens of vice and haunts of iniquity exist and an effort made to “clean them out,’? as was done with various opium joints a few days ago. That it can be done oceasion- ally, only proves that it might and should be done as often as they are found to exist. The police force is employed to hunt up just such things and root them. Why is it not done, why these places are allowed to take root and flourish, and only spasmodically routed is one of the mysteries (?) of civie life. Week’s Work With the chief of the bureau of steam engineering urging greater appropriations for the enlargement and further equipment of the Puget Sound navy yard, that it may properly and expeditiously do the work now being sent to it, it is very evident that the naval author- ities fully understand and appreciate the value of that station. If Mr. Bremer will only be reasonable in his price and sell out the town site a magnificent station would soon be built up. eee With the tieing up of several steamers on the Yukon river by low water, and the early closing of the river by ice, thereby preventing the delivery of many tons of freight in Dawson where it is needed, and the en- tailing of a heavy loss upon freight and possibly of the vessels also, all go to prove the need of an all-rail route to the Northern metropolis. a eer From the amount of trouble W. J. Bryan is having over the fact that an admirer made him the executor and a beneficiary in his will he may be expected to be asking to be delivered from his friends. oe * The New York postoffice is to be taken through a course of investigation, and announcement is made that other large cities will be looked after in due time. The department has gone into the investigation business and seems inclined to make a clean sweep. The agitation for the enlargement or lowering of the outlet of Lake Washington goes on apace. The farmers and others interested in the valleys subject to overflow from back water make out a strong case, and the average layman sees no sufficient reason why their request should not be granted. The proposition to dredge out the Duwamish slough and make it available for steamboat traffic is a good one, and would no doubt help to lessen the danger from high water on the flats below the city, as well as increase the area of available manufacturing sites. With the taking up of these mat- ters, as well as the Olmsted plans for park and drive improvements by the united improvement clubs of the city, it is expected that some intelligent, practical re- sults will obtain. The Russian bear is still hungry. He has an insatia- ble maw, and having swallowed Manchuria, is now making goo-goo eyes at Korea. Expecting this, little Japan has long been preparing to dispute his right to that rare morsel, the Hermit nation, and war is liable to be declared by the Brownies against his bear- ship. Japan is small, compared with Russia, but in case of war will be able to make the bear's fur fly lively, and, situated as Russia is, give him a hard tussle.

The requirements are the donation of a $10,000 site, upon which is to be erected a $50,000 building, leaving a reserve fund of $100,000 for maintenance. sae The action of the board of land commissioners in withdrawing from sale the shore lands of certain lakes in Kittitas county, the purchase of which had been applied for by an irrigation company, is commendable, inasmuch as they are needed in an irrigation scheme it is hoped to have executed under state control. Water rights contiguous to arid lands are valuable property. eee Revolution has broken out in the Santo Domingo republic on the Island of Hayti. Much after the man- ner of revolutions generally in the Spanish or Latin- American countries in South America and the West India islands. In 1869, at the instance of General Grant, then President, a treaty of annexation was agreed upon and adopted by the Dominican people: but it was strenuously opposed by a few leading states- men in this country and was never ratified. eee Ex-President Cleveland may be greater than his party, as Mr. Hanna suggests, but that fact should not cause Grover to place an order for a larger hat. oe 8 It is a very unfortunate condition that obtains in Butte. ‘Two parties, each worth their millions, are warring over other millions that neither of them need, while thousands of laboring men with other thousands depending upon them, are forced into idleness. Sure- ly this is a case where the laws should be applied, and that promptly and vigorously, and the industry started again, se 8 Dowie’s trip to New York is liable to have a far different result from what he expected. Instead of gaining followers and sheckels he is gaining a hotor- iety that bids fair to expose him to the contempt of his heretofore duped adherents, even as he has the contempt of all rational, honest persons who have taken the trouble to investigate him. Dowie, for Dowie, financially has been a huge success. He is entitled to much eredit for organizing and maintaining an almost, in some respects, ideal municipality; but as a teacher of religion or righteousness his example since going to New York has been very far below the standard the world has a right to expect of one who professes to come in the spirit and power of Elijah. oe * Two deaths and one birth in one day will change the geographical nomenclature of this state in a notice- able degree. At one fell stroke the citizens of Whateom and Fairhaven haye blotted those cities out of exist- ence and brought the city of Bellingham into existence. ‘Thus ends an agitation that has surged over the Bel- lingham Bay cities for years. The matter of the name has ben the hindering cause, else the two cities would doubtless have united years ago. Local pride and prejudice have both given way and a compromise hes been effected which places Bellingham as fourth in the list of cities in this state, with a population, it is be- lieved that will make it a city of the first-class. WISE AND OTHERWISE. That the greatest religious charlatan of the age is a man of considerable executive ability is evidenced by the successful transportation of a "restoration host" numbering 3000 persons from Zion City near Chicago, to New York, and their housing in the metropolis for a campaign in the interest of Dowieism. John Alexander Dowie is an imposter of the first rank, but he numbers his devoted followers by the thousands, and his command of means seems unlimited. Seven thousand men, women and children were gathered at the station at Zion when the eight trains were ready to depart. The "Second Elijah" is a marked improvement on the first in respect of worldly possessions. The Tishbite was at times hard pressed for something to eat, but his "successor" fares like a prince of the realm. He rode to New York in a private car, in luxurious state. He dresses extravagantly, carries himself with the air of an emperor, and rules his followers with a strong hand. His career is a strange comment on the gullibility of many people.—P. C. Advocate. In view of the secret investigation that has been going on with regard to the workings of some parties connected with the land department, and of the exposures of crookedness that have been hinted at, some people may have occasion to change their opinions of Secretary Hitchcock. He may be cold, blunt and possibly bullheaded in some respects, but no one can say he is not an honest, earnest business man, and in no may a fawning political sycophant. Pungent as Well as True.—The liquor dealers in convention in Seattle, recently, made known their intention to ignore all of the state laws which they do not approve. A fund is formed and any retailer who is arrested for the violation of these laws is to be defended and money will be spent to help him evade the law. We have no use for the saloon and believe it to be an unmitigated nuisance. Of all its evils this spirit of anarchy is the most serious. If the people of this state have no more sand than to swallow this bluff, there is not enough decent citizenship in the state to keep it from rotting.—Oaksville Cruiser. --- Religion and the Public Schools.—Probably no other influence was so powerful in eliminating the use of the Bible from our public schools as was that of the Catholic church. Protestant Christians everywhere have regretted to see these laws placed upon our statute books, but have been powerless against the wishes of this religio-political organization. While the Bible was never used as a textbook, yet the reading of a chapter and its very presence in the school room seemed to have a salutary effect, so much so that its absence now is noticeable and the error acknowledged from sources least expected. Not, however, in its broadest sense, but as a plea for parochial schools we find Bishop McFaul, an eminent Catholic, says: "The public schools, as at present constituted, are detrimental to church and state. Eminent non-Catholic educators are gradually perceiving that 'intellectual cultivation has no effect in arresting the sources of evil in the human heart; that it alters the direction of crime, but not its amount.' Teaching religion in the church and the home is not sufficient; the absence of such teaching in the school is rapidly leading youth into indifference and thus dechristianizing America." Speaking on the same matter, Cardinal Gibbon says: "The system of public education in this country is imperfect and vicious, and undermines the religion of our youth. We want our children to receive an education that will not only make them learned but pious men and women. We want them to be not only polished members of society, but also conscientious Christians. We desire for them a training that will form their hearts as well as their minds. We wish them to be not only men of the world, but, above all, men of God. The religious and secular education of our children can not be divorced from each other without inflicting a fatal wound upon the soul. The usual consequence of such a separation is to paralyze the moral faculty and to foment a spirit of indifference in matters of faith. The intellectual and moral growth of our children should go hand-in-hand; otherwise their education is shallow and fragmentary, and often proves a curse instead of a blessing. The remedy for these defects would be supplied if the denominational system which now obtains in Canada were applied in our public schools." The New York Sun, referring to this matter, says: "Protestants, Roman Catholics, and Hebrews have struck a compromise by which God and Christ—yes, and with them pagan ethics at their best—are eliminated from the education of the child life of the nation. What is the result? Why, surely, the virtual enthronement of forces that disbelieve in God and Christ and are antagonistic to them. How can those who know what Christianity is and what the nature and needs of children are believe otherwise? There can be no education in these days without religion, or its negation or opposite. What an atmosphere to bring up our children in! Small wonder that atheists and agnostics love to have it so, because in a most pitiful sense of the word the lamb is inside the lion." THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN It is doubtful if the American people are ready to give up their public school system, but, good as it is in some ways, it is altogether wanting in this very essential sense. It is doubtful if the remedy suggested by Cardinal Gibbon as noted above would be acceptable. The New York Sun proposes a remedy by the state providing educational advantages to only such as would otherwise be neglected then leave an open field and no favor to every religious body to provide proper education for its own children or take the consequences of its neglect of duty. Private schools, large and small, differing widely in dogmatic teaching, but identical in ethics and patriotism, would spring up and multiply all over the land, and education would again be on a proper and safe basis. The children, or most of them, would be Christianized as well as Americanized. Pagans might be instructed in paganism, Jewish in Jewish dogmas and Protestants and Catholic in Christianity according to the ethics of their separate doctrines. It is clearly evident that something should be done in this matter. The restoration of the bible in the school now being agitated, while proper and right, yet will not be sufficient. Nothing short of making it a text book, in the hands of conscientious, earnest teachers, believers in and possessers of applied Christianity, will check the headlong tendency to agnosticism that is so apparent. But with a people so cosmopolitan in religious beliefs and they protected in such beliefs by the foundation stone of our government, the problem is one difficult of solution. The Better Way The Remedy.—If I am asked what is the remedy for the deeper sorrows of the human heart—what a man should chiefly look to in his progress through life as the power that is to sustain him under trials, and enable him manfully to confront his afflictions—I must point to something which, in a well-known hymn, is called "The old, old story," told of an old, old book, and taught with an old, old teaching, which is the greatest and best gift ever given to mankind.—W. E. Gladstone. --- Cheerfulness is just as natural to the heart of a man in strong health as color to his cheek, and wherever there is habitual gloom there must be either bad air, unwholesome food, improperly severe labor, or erring habits of life.—John Ruskin. If you have anything good to say about your neighbor say it while he is living. A man's hearing is better while he is alive; besides, you can do him no good by reiterating all his good deeds after he is dead. It will not make his chances for heaven any better. God already knows of all the good he ever did. In this time of laden orchards and waving fields it is due that we remind ourselves that we are but tenants of infinite goodness. When so happily in possession of the abundance of the earth there is danger that we regard ourselves as owners in fee simple. We parcel out portions of the earth and call them ours. We fence in the ares and warn off all comers. But we are not actual proprietors; we are only occupants. The full garner is not of our making. "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." These words, quoted from the Psalmist, are written over the gateway of the Royal Exchange in London, a recognition in high places of the divine sovereignty and of human dependence. They should be inscribed in the high places of human thought everywhere. Socialism calls capital "the unpaid wages of labor." Democracy calls it "the surplus product of labor." A true Christian calls it "a God-given increase of labor," held by man as a steward to be used for human benefit and the divine glory. An Inexhaustible Mine.—Dr. Torrey, in the Christian, says: "I know the Bible is the word of God because of its inexhaustible depth. All that is finite is fathomable; the Bible is unfathomable. Whatever man has produced man can exhaust; but no man, no generation of men, not all the tens of thousands of men together who have devoted their best abilities and the best years of their lives to the study of this book, have been able to exhaust it. "Men of the best minds that the world has ever known, men of widest culture, men of earnest intellectual grasp, men of keenest insight and profoundest ability, have dug into the book for years and years, and the more they have dug, the deeper they saw the depths still below them to be, and the richer the golden ore. Vast libraries have been devoted to the exposition of this book, and still it is unexhausted. Why cannot men exhaust this book in eighteen centuries of digging? There can be but one fair answer. What man has produced man can exhaust, and the only reason why the whole race is unable to exhaust this book is because it is not man's book, but God's, and in it are hidden the infinite and inexhaustible treasures of the wisdom and knowledge of God." To the thoughtless ones, ever indifferent to others' rights or feelings, thus causing them unhappiness, and bringing grey hairs before their time, we would suggest a change of habit. Try to be thoughtful, courteous and helpful, and see how much more happiness you will get out of life by putting sunshine instead of clouds into the lines of others. It is an experiment worth trying. MAGAZINE CLUB. The Magazine Club held its usual meeting last Friday evening, at the residence of Mrs. George H. Grose, and the following are some thoughts drawn from the subjects discussed: A parody on "America," which had been written by a Negro woman, was read. The poem brought out the Negro's position in regard to our government, and was very pleasing. Prof. DuBoise' criticism on Booker T. Washington: Washington is indeed a leader of his people—a "Moses," as it were. He is doing more for humanity in general than any other one man, and his influence is gradually spreading and entwining itself around the world. Tuskegee is largely a conception of his own mind. The man made the opportunity, and he made a hit because the line that he is so successfully working on is what this busy, hustling old world is in need of just now. All leaders meet opposition and criticism to an extent. Washington is human, and therefore makes mistakes. Were he not so general in his views, so sweeping in his statements regarding the education of a whole race of people who differ in adaptability as do the leaves on the trees, he would be more popular with his own people. *** Race prejudice is making a man of the eNgro. A clear case of "all partial evil, universal good." He is forced into compulsive independence which is embedding in him a high standard, intellectually and morally. He is being goaded into avenues of business enterprise which would have otherwise not been entered by him. In keeping with this thought is a recent occurrence in Jacksonville, Fla.: Jim Crow street cars were introduced, with the approval of the city council, whereupon colored men, women and children walked miles and miles, day after day. Who is it that can't walk when the cause for which he walks is just? The result of the difficulty is a colored organization in Jacksonville, Fla., owns a street car line which is operated by colored men exclusively. The system is said to be the best in the city, except the line on the main street, and this is patronized by white as well as colored. Wherever the Negro is refused accommodation on account of his color there is an opportunity for a Negro to start a similar place of business for Negroes; being, however, always too broad-minded to draw a color line himself, and then push his place up to the acknowledged high plane and victory is his. *** It is thought that the age at which the child is considered a wage-earner in America is lessening. There seems to be a growing desire to push the children into the business arena, regardless of what privation it means for them. Dwarfed bodies, slighted, and their stunted minds, follow the results of which in time, are apparent. Some, seeking to ease their consciences, perchance, send their children to night school, which not only cuts off what little recreation they might get during the early evening hours, but taxes them, when the working hours are considered, beyond the acknowledged limit. The working class of foreigners, as a rule, demand aid of their children in the support of their families, and Americans seem to be fast "catching on." In the home for tramps in Chicago two-thirds of those who enter its portals were wage-earners when mere children. There is also a law in that city to prevent managers of business concerns from employing children under 15 years of age. Some of the "cash girls" in the large dry goods establishments, however, are of small stature indeed, but their parents have taken an oath that they have seen the required fifteen summers. There are so many idle women who might be employed, women who refuse to do housework, that it is a pity to rear, yet more women who in time will be idle also. That factory and store reared girls are disqualified for housework is sustained by the fact that there is a growing feeling against them in the East as domestic employes. 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. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN H. R. Cayton..... Editor Susie Revels Cayton.....

Ex-Senator Turner, fresh from the glory of the Alaska boundary conquest, can ill-afford to dim the luster of his record by accepting the Democratic nomination for governor of this state. If there was a show to be elected it would be another thing. From the amount of smoke issuing from the various newspaper offices at Olympia there must be something very rotten in political circles in the hub city. Or possibly it is only a friendly (?) bout indulged in to keep matters warm during the interval between sessions of the legislature. Let the Wall street gamblers rave and speculate in fictitious values and imagine a vain thing What cares a contented and prosperous people. The country remains prosperous with only one cloud in the horizon, and that is the hold-up game being played by organized labor. This is the only prospective menace to continued prosperity. Judging from disclaimers of all milk handlers that they each severally and individually do not pollute their wares with formaldehyde, a strong case is made against the cows. It is up to them to change their diet or stand convicted of conspiracy against unoffending mankind. Possibly the eating of less brewery malt would be beneficial. The Tacoma Sun crows because six families from Seattle have taken up their abode in that city recently. The reason is not far to find. Seattle's growth is so rapid that accommodations cannot be provided as fast as needed, and some are forced to go elsewhere to get shelter. Then again, some people prefer to live in a quiet, sequestered village than in a hustling, noisy city. Some of our Democratic exchanges are making much of the fact that there has been two or three bank failures of late, and take occasion to score a point against Republican prosperity because of that fact. If they will be honest they cannot but admit that these failures cannot mitigate against the party or conditions under which this well-nigh universal prosperity exists. In the first place there are too many banks in the country; more than there is legitimate business for, since the conditions of trade is such that many dealers, manufacturers and farmers find it unnecessary to ask for financial accommodations; but, on the other hand, are moneylenders or depositors. This source of business being denied them frequently a bank will take hold of doubtful or speculative securities, and occasionally get caught and are forced to the wall. Such failures are only incident to prosperous times, and is no harbinger of the reverse conditions. Her Dream. I dreamed that I dwelt in marble halls, With money piled up around me; They had used nice bank notes to paper the walls, Yet fate to her torture wheel bound me. For I couldn't get rid of the horrible thought That there I might linger and pine, That the last title might have already been bought, That no baron or duke could be mine. I dreamed that I wept till my eyes were all red; I hated my fortune, my treasure; With no coronet to wear on my proud head My life must be barren of pleasure! I wept in my dream till the landlady called, The marble halls disappeared then, And I from the boarding house bed sadly crawled To wait on the table again. —Chicago Record-Herald.

The following very interesting communication to the Chicago Conservator by Robert L. Taylor will be read with much interest by many of the citizens of Seattle, owing to the fact that persons of color well known hereabouts are not only referred to, but flatteringly mentioned. We quote: D. R. Wilkins, Editor Conservator: Dear Sir: Since my return from the Northwest I have been persuaded to believe that a line or two on the conditions there would be of interest to your readers, in that they would serve to open the eyes of many to the advantages which that section affords to the colored professional men and tradesmen who are casting about for new locations, places or sections in which to resume or begin their careers. After leaving St. Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., very little is asked about one's race or color, and very few references are made to men as colored men. This is especially true in the western cities of Spokane and Seattle, Wash., in which latter city there lives a colored man, J. E. Hawkins, who up to ten years ago was a barber, but who is now one of the leading criminal lawyers of that section, with an office, library and general practice which would do great credit to many of our prominent lawyers here, whether colored or white. Nearer home and in a more sparsely settled country, which country is ordinarily referred to as the "pine lands" of Minnesota, there lives a man, a former Chicagoan, and a protege of Edward H. Morris, whose success under the circumstances is something bordering on the unheard of. This man, Charles W. Scrutchin, a graduate of the University of Washington and of the law department of the University of Michigan, was the first of his race to land in Bemidji, which he did five years ago with only fifty cents in his pocket, and with the object of obtaining a situation as "short order" cook, to the end that he might accumulate enough money during his stay there to take him to Spokane, Wash., his former home, in which city he had decided to resume the practice of his profession, so discouragingly begun in Chicago. The morning of his arrival in Bemidji, and upon his return to his stopping place after a visit to several of the restaurants in search of employment as "short order cook," he overheard a conversation between a thoroughly drunken and pretty badly bruised "lumber Jack" and Ted Smith, the proprietor of his stopping place, in which the lumber Jack complained about the superintendent of some lumber company who had "thumped" him because he asked for his wages (seventy dollars). The "lumber Jack" wanted to know from Smith if there was no law to punish Nicely Furnished Rooms, by the day or week. Rates reasonable, at 515 James Street. Mrs. Sarah Grose, Proprietress.

The outraged "lumber Jack," according to Smith's story, which was told me a few days ago, boldly expressed the belief that this particular lawyer, and in fact all other lawyers of Bemidji, were either in the employ of the lumber barons or could be bought by them at a very small figure or the promise of future business. (From my acquaintance with the lawyers of Bemidji I am quite certain that the "lumber Jack's" suspicions were not warranted by the facts.) At this juncture Mr. Scrutchin, who, I am reliably informed, was without overcoat or gloves in a country where the thermometer registered zero, revealed his connection with the legal profession, offered to take the case for his new acquaintance, and after [Name not visible in the image] J E. HAWKINS being requested by him to "go way back and sit down" was finally engaged to try the case. After Attorney Scrutchin had been retained in the now famous case he was taken aside by Ted Smith, the proprietor and the then mayor, of the city, and told that unless he was "the goods" it were better for him to sever his connection with his new client and become his (Smith's) cook. After convincing Smith that he was a licensed attorney he began the preparation of his case, which was a suit for damages for assault and battery. The case was called for trial a week afterward before a justice of the peace. At the conclusion of the trial, which lasted two days, the jury found for his client and gave him the full amount sued for. His success won for him a client from among the spectators, who gave him a check for twenty-five dollars as a retainer's fee before he left the court room, and from that time on Charles W. Scrutchin has had practically all of the legal business he could attend to. There are no colored women in Bemidji. Four years ago he CRUMBS SWEPT UP. Nervous prostration has a pretty hard job when it tackles a man whose wife supports the family. What a pitiful sight it is to see a well-dressed woman being dragged down the street at the end of a string by a dog. In the Talmud we find: "The crow brought fire into the nest; it warmed him, but it burned the nest." Milton tells us, in "Paradise Lost,"—"Revenge, at first though sweet, Bitter ere long, back on itself recoils." "The man of grit carries, in his very presence, a power which controls and commands." Every right action and true thought sets the seal of its beauty on the person and the face.—Ruskin. No danger of you injuring your eyes looking on the bright side of life. Scientists have discovered microbes in kisses. That shows that even so small a thing as a microbe knows a good thing. The woman tells her husband everything that happens and he tells her the things that don't happen and between them both they know it all. A hundred men may make an encampment, but it takes a woman to make a home.—Chinese Proverb. married a product of Alabama. Mrs. Scrutchin does all of her husband's typewriting, keeps his accounts, and also keeps track of his cases in court. She is a woman of good education, of great natural intelligence, and has the respect and friendship of the leading people of Bemidji. The Scrutchins own their own home, which is situated one hundred yards from one of the prettiest lakes I ever gazed upon, as well as a beautiful farm one-half mile from the city, and, better still, they own the building in which his office is situated, and expect to build a large brick building next to it in the spring. Their nearest colored neighbors are Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hatfield, who reside in Cass Lake, a city twenty miles from Bemidji. Mr. Hatfield was reared and educated in Detroit, Mich. Mr. Hatfield told me that as the di- rect result of the economy and business foresight of his devoted wife he had managed in six years to buy and pay for two elegant pieces of residence property, together with a business block in the center of the city. Returning to Mr. Scrutchin, I desire to state that the court records of Bemidji will show that in the many cases which he had in the September term of court he won absolutely every one of them. He is the attorney for one of the leading banks of Bemidji, for the only brewery there, and has appeared to assist the state as well as to defend in several of the most prominent criminal cases in his "neck of the woods." To say that he is regarded by all as one of the leading lawyers of that section of the state is but mildly putting it. I mention these facts to show that with the proper qualifications and a good strong resolution to succeed, a man with good habits and a fair amount of industry can at least get upon the ladder, if not at the top, without the opposition born of color prejudice in the new northwest. If there be aught surpassing human deeds, or word, or thought, it is a mother's love—Marchioness de Spodrara. A girl isn't necessarily timid because she jumps at a proposal. All men are born without intelligence and a good many never get over it. It's something easier for a girl to think she is pretty than it is for her to make other girls think so. The self-made man resembles a hand organ whose repertoire consists of only one tune. Energy usually brings success, and success invariably brings energy. Usually the more law costs the less justice there is in it. Confidence is seldom lost, but often sadly misplaced. Society may not be an empty thing, but there are lots of empty things in society. It is only because the water works that the fountain plays. A beef trust magnate who organizes a rubber trust will be regarded with grave suspicion by all the boarders who sit round the landlady's hospitable board. E. R.
