Seattle Republican

Historical Societies The SEATTLE VOL. X. NO. 22 SEATTLE, WASH ELECTIONS. books, will be Democrat to th LE REPU SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1903 books, will be willing to go so far as to help elect a Democrat to the United States senate. Perhaps those members will not feel called upon to inflict such a body blow on the party of their choice for they may find some Republican candidate who has enough pronounced positive strength with whom they can tie up to accomplish their purposes without having to leave the party, but the politicians should not lose sight of the fact that the followers of Governor Henry McBride in the Ninth legislature will have to be reckoned with before the senatorial fight is over. If the Republicans have no very serious mishap they will elect to the next legislature about 100 members. Of that number, as said above, McBrideism will have about twenty votes and the balance of them will be found voting for Foster, Wilson, Hamilton and Piles. I am not able to say at this time who of the latter four shows up with the greatest amount of prospective strength, as all of them have more or less. Outside of King county the major part of Piles' strength is second choice strength. Should he succeed in stampeding King county and have the sixteen members to the house of the legislature instructed for him, he, in my opinion, would get considerable outside strength. Perhaps Senator Wilson has more general strength than any of the other aspirants, but without King county solid for him he will have much heavy fighting to do before he succeeds in pulling the plum. With King county a unit for him, however, I truly believe he would be elected United States senator on the first ballot. If Hamilton wins Pierce county from Foster he too will be very strong outside of his home county and the same would be true of Senator Foster. I likewise made some notes on the gubernatorial embroglio and right here permit me to say, I can not see how the governor expects to be nominated at the next Republican state convention, for in Western Washington he will not get the solid delegation from a single county and even in Eastern Washington, where he shines, his biggest, brightest and best, he will lose some one or two counties and only get divided delegations in others and under such conditions his chances of being nominated for governor by the Republicans is a most forlorn hope. Governor McBride will, however, have a very strong following in the next state convention, and, I believe, will be able to name the nominee for governor and will do so unless he makes up his mind to rule or ruin—bolt if he himself is not nominated. The farmers throughout Eastern Washington are practically a unit for him. In every county he stands in the country precincts. That means that the next state convention will have many almost uncompromising McBride men therein. While some of those men will be very strong for the governor, yet no bolt for them. On the other hand, if their hero is not successful a compromise candidate like John D. Atkinson will suit them very well. You can look for a stubborn fight from them in the state convention and if some concessions are not granted them, minority though they be, the Republican gubernatorial nominee will be knifed from stem to gudgeon by the McBrideites, not only in Eastern, but likewise in Western Washington. McBrideism may not be strong enough to nominate, but is strong enough to defeat at the polls if it wills to do so. I found John D. Atkinson to be a strong gubernatorial possibility, especially in Eastern Washington. The more conservative element of the McBrideites will accept him as a second choice. The anti-MeBrideites are inclined to him as a splendid compromise candidate—he having not been mixed in any of the factional fights of the party. He will doubtless go to the convention, if he should decide to become a gubernatorial candidate, with solid delegations from Chelan, Okanogan, Douglas and Ferry counties, thus giving him a splendid working neucleus in the party councils. Should King county decide to have a gubernatorial candidate her local choice would prove a very strong factor in the convention fight. Both Dr. Smith and Judge Humphries have many strong personal friends throughout the state, and whichever one succeeds in getting the endorsement of the county, as already said above, he will cut quite a swath in the convention and in my opinion either be nominated or name the nominee. --- --- VOL. X. NO. 22 ELECTIONS The chief events of the week have been the elections held in several states, and the municipal election in Nw York city. Chief interest, as bearing upon national affairs, has centered upon Ohio, where the speculator, popocratic millionaire, Tom Johnson, was Democratic candidate for governor, and Myron T. Herrick, the Republican candidate, was elected by 125,000 majority. The Ohio election gained national significance from the fact it was believed that if Mr. Johnson was elected he would be a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. On the other hand, if Herrick was elected it would also mean the election of a Republican legislature, who would return M. A. Hanna to the U. S. Senate. It was considered a fight between Johnson and Hanna, and the latter has won. *** In the New York municipal election there was no national politics involved, except indirectly or remotely, as the size and importance of the great city is able to cast an influence. But the election of Geo. B. McClellan, son of the famous civil war general by the same name, over the present mayor, Seth Low, is not a Democratic victory unless it be admitted that Tammanny Hallism is Democracy. Local questions were injected into the strife, causing an alignment of forces that removed it entirely out of the realm of partisan politics. Low, a Republican, was a fusionist, not a party candidate; McClellan was the Tammany candidate and the Kings county Democrats, who oppose Tammany, supported former Chief of Police Deverly, an independent candidate for mayor. Low has given New York a very good administration, a great improvement over the last Tammany mayor's conduct of affairs, but he is not well liked personally, and besides New York does not seem to be able to stand anythink like a reform administration but one term at a time. * * * Of other cities in New York state some are Republican and some Democratic. For the legislature the Republicans have a net gain of seven and both branches are strongly of that party. *** In Kentucky the returns as reported give the Democratic nominees the election. Governor Beckham is re-elected by 15,000. According to dispatches a return of the old regime was the order. The Republicans claim the closing by Democrats of voting places in Republican precincts, ballot box stuffing, suppression of the Negro vote, etc., etc. Numerous fights, several killed and others wounded is the sum of the day's work. * * * Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado each have gone Republican. Rhode Island is Republican all but governor, who is Democratic, as usual. In San Francisco partisan politics were not involved on local issues, the Union Labor candidate was elected for mayor. *** A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still, is all the argument that need to be used in reply to the Colfax Commoner man who consumed so much space last week to try and misstate "The Source of Prosperity," as a reply to a brief article of ours calling him down on a former misstatement of his. One thing we are glad for, however, and that is that he quoted our item in full, so his readers have had a little good doctrine. POLITICAL POT-PIE After having spent some two months or more traveling over the state and mingling with the people in the various sections I think I am prepared to talk intelligently on the political situation in the Evergreen State," said a prominent Republican politician to the Pie-maker one day this week. "While there is no great amount of danger of the state going Democratic, unless it be for governor, and that only under certain circumstances, I am inclined to think the Republicans will lose heavily from the legislative ticket and thereby sadly jeopardize the chances of electing a Republican United States senator. ** I am of the opinion that the McBrideism of the Republican party will have in the neighborhood of twenty votes in the next legislature, some of whom, in order to put radical anti-railroad legislation on the statute *** *** * * * *** LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS I am inclined to think that all of the present state officials will be renominated with the exceptions of the treasurer, who is constitutionally barred, and that nomination will doubtless go to Spokane. Judge Mark A. Fullerton is almost absolutely certain of being renominated. Judge Anders will doubtless retire of his own volition and it looks as if Judge Miller of Vancouver will succeed him. *** Under the caption, "Not Encouraging for McBride," the Snohomish Tribune has the following to remark: The following from a special correspondent to the Reveille from Mt. Vernon, Skagit county, the home of Governor McBride, doesn't sound very encouraging to that gentleman, if he is looking for the Republican nomination next year. The correspondent says: "The feeling is so great in this county against the governor's methods of handling a campaign that it is a well-established fact that he cannot carry his home county in the convention, for the reason that nearly all the influential Republicans are working against him. And if he is unable to swing a delegation here, what can he expect from other portions of the state?" The governor seems to be hob-nobbing now with the Democrats in some portions of the state, and he might get the endorsement of the democrats of his county, if the Republicans refuse to give him the glad hand, ** But to beat a governor out of his own county just to beat him is, perhaps, easier talked about than done. The Pie-maker is well aware of the fact that a stubborn fight will be waged against the governor by his political enemies, but he has his doubts of it accomplishing the desired results. Some time ago, through the columns of The Seattle Republican, a prominent Skagit County Republican warned the Governor not to try to force his county to declare itself as anti-railroad. * * * "A Political Lottery" is a headline under which Winston's Weekly of Spokane talks entertainingly to the politicians. It says: So far there are ten candidates in this city for places on the Republican state ticket; three for governor, one for lietenant-governor, one for state treasurer, one for supreme court judge, two for attorney-general, one for congress, and one for secretary of state. After a careful survey of the political situation, we regret to say that there is a possibility that all of them will not be nominated. We regret it not so much from a personal and political standpoint, as from local pride. Imagine a state ticket with ten Spokaneites on it! What enthusiasm it would create; what fervor it would arouse! Deeply interested, as we are, in the outcome, we venture the suggestion that all local rivalries and jealousies could be avoided, by the ten gentlemen, who are now candidates for six places, becoming candidates for ten places; one place for each aspirant. There ought to be no friction in adjusting these candidacies, and in order that there may be none, we suggest that the places for which they are to run be determined by lot. Let the ten names be put in one hat, and ten offices in another; then let some Republican who is not a candidate for office, if any such can be found, draw out first a name, and then an office to go with it. In this way each aspirant will draw an office and the general public will be perfectly satisfied. It is true that this scheme requires some sacrifices. For example: If a candidate for governor should draw the office of state printer, or a candidate for a supreme court judgeship should draw the office of superintendent of public instruction, or a candidate for attorney general should draw the office of land commissioner, while the people would undoubtedly be as well, and probably better satisfied with the outcome, than if it were left to the individual preferences of the aspirants themselves, we fear that some of the aspirants themselves would be inclined to rebel. However, the certainty that there would be no blanks would probably outweigh any objections. *** It would be laughable to see the next state Republican ticket composed of ten Spokane men, but that would not be so very much worse than in 1896, when the state Republican ticket was composed of five Tacoma men, and five more actually aspired to be also on the ticket. Of course the ticket was shamefully defeated, but the move put Tacoma in the political saddle, in which she has triumphantly as well as defiantly ridden ever since. --- POLITICAL. Harold J. Lea, who was mentioned in connection with the auditorship, writes to announce that he is a candidate for county clerk, and that the prospects for success look good to him. This means seven announced candidates for the clerkship and not a one for the auditorship. The Pie-maker repeats the auditorship nomination is open for engagements and some ambitious politician would do well to offer his heart, hand and pocketbook to the young miss. * * * In last week's review of the political situation in King county the name of Arthur C. Rundle, who is at present employed in the county treasurer's office, was by an oversight not named among the prospective candidates for county clerk. Mr. Rundle is very much in the race, which will be known by more than himself before the next nominee fo reclerk of King county is named by the Republicans in convention assembled. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Taking "French leave" is understood to be when one stands not on the manner of his going, but goes at once. With equal certainty Russian leave may be understood as meaning that the party does not leave at all, but unpacks his freight, makes himself at home and immediately begins looking for some other place to "leave" in the same manner. The fact that organized capital and organized labor are both opposed to the renomination of President Roosevelt gives the lie to the contentions of each that he favors the other the more. Theodore Roosevelt is the president, not of the classes, but of the masses; and has the hardihood to oppose either or any class that puts itself outside of the provisions of law and equal justice. *** Will someone please "ring off" on the "How old is Ann" proposition? As a chestnut it is getting stale. *** The city of Everett is in a quandary. It has been boasting as being the fourth city in the state, but by the consolidation of Whatcom and Fairhaven into Bellingham that is likely to rank as fourth, thus placing Everett back a notch, and in losing her rank she is in a quandary as to whether she has sustained material loss or not. *** With the assurance that the East is willing to recognize the West and concede some prominent position in the next administration, speculation is, of course, rife as to what and who. "The West" is a large piece of "out of doors," and contains quite a number of men big enough for a cabinet position, or even to fill the vice-president's chair, but of course Seattle is ready to supply the man. *** The well-dressed individual with $60 in his pocket who seemed to have no occupation, except to insult school children on their way to and from school, and who was beaten almost to a pulp by the father of two of the children, got just what he deserved, and any additional punishment the court may inflict will not be overdoing the matter. It is announced that Carter Harrison, mayor of Chicago, will be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, and from Democratic sources it is learned that he does not expect to be elected in '04, but will use such nomination as a stepping-stone for a like nomination in '08, when it is fondly hoped people will become so intoxicated with prosperity that they can be inveigled into restoring the Democrats into power. Vain, vain hope. Tales of the Town The many friends of Harry C. Gordon, an old time Seattleite, who has been in Nome for the past three years, were pleased to welcome him home one day this week. Harry Gordon at one time was a political power in King county and having been fairly successful in the north, the probabilities are he will again enter the political arena with his fighting clothes on. *** Potter C. Sullivan, gubernatorial candidate on the Republican ticket in this state in 1896, who at that time was a citizen of Tacoma, has taken up his abode in Seattle. Mr. Sullivan went to Nome in the first rush, and rumor has it that he did well while there. Subsequently he returned to the state and took unto himself a wife. He again returned to Nome only for a short time and on coming out to stay decided in future to be a part and parcel of the Seattle Spirit. *** It was a genuine surprise last Sunday morning when the morning paper announced to the public that James THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. D. Hoge, Jr., had decided to open up a new bank and sever his connection with the First National Bank of this city. Hoge has a host of friends who are glad to see him swing out on his own hooks and it is predicted that he will soon build up a strong institution He has associated with him some of the best financiers in the city. *** Bert Taylor, the only Bert, has returned from a trip to California and is now employed in the office of the county treasurer. On his return he predicted the election of Crocker for mayor, but he was not versed in San Francisco politics like he is in Seattle politics for his man was beaten clean out of his boots. Mayor Schmitz was reelected by an increased plurality. *** There is supposed to be a law maikng it a misdemeanor for a female to parade in male attire, but that, like many other statutes, is a dead letter, at least so far as one Nell Pickerell is concerned. For years she has discarded the modest attire of her sex, and assumed the garb of the masculine persuasion. She has at various times been the center of considerable newspaper notoriety following an occasional arrest, but for lack of sufficient law, or its enforcement, or both, she has been permitted to go her way, and if reports may be believed, is a hoodlum of the hoodlums. For some unaccountable reason, at least, two young ladies have fallen in love with her—or the masculine attire she wears—and upon finding out the true state of affairs, and that their love could not be reciprocated in the Heaven ordained way, have ended their disappointment by taking their lives. One, over a year ago, by the carbolic acid route, and one a few days since by the pistol route. Whether Nell Pickering, as Harry Livingstone, deliberately deceived these girls as to her sex, and courted their affection, or whether through an unexplained weakness they allowed themselves to become attached because of the trousers, knowing full well the true situation, makes no difference; the result and the responsibility are the same, and Nell Pickering, while probably not guilty of murder, is at least responsible in a sense for the lives of these two young women, and it is quite time there was some steps taken to suppress this seemingly conscious less individual, with perverted ideas. * * * Hon. Will H. Parry, president of the city council, has returned from a six week's visit in the east. * * * The publishers of weekly newspapers of King County will enjoy a banquet all among themselves tomorrow (Saturday) evening, at 6 o'clock p. m., hoping thereby to get better acquainted with each other. The publisher or proprietor of every weekly paper in the county is requested and invited to be present. *** The selection of Lester Turner, so long the efficient cashier of the First National Bank, to be president of the same institution, is but the logical outcome of many years of close application to business, and the success that attends the same. Mr. Turner's record as a business man and a financier is second to none in the Northwest, and his elevation to the presidency of the First National means that that bank is to maintain its high standing among the solid institutions of this city. THE MAGAZINE CLUB The Magazine Club met last Friday evening at the residence of Mrs. Samuel A. Thorne and the following thoughts were gleaned from the topics there discussed: The Man of Culture. There is something very substantial about the man of culture of today. His mental vision is broader than the man of yesterday, and he is therefore enabled to come more in contact with his fellowman and to keep in closer touch with nature. To be cultured one must possess a real mastery of some one of the many things to which human beings are heirs. There must be also a general knowledge of quite a few things, but the idea that a cultured person must possess a little knowledge of everything is not of today. President Eliot, who addressed the National Educational Association, held in Boston during last July, said: "The four elements of culture are, character formed as Goethe said, in the "stream of the world," not in stillness or isolation; the power of accurate and elegant expression by tongue or pen; a store of knowledge with capacity to assimilate it; a constructive imagination, which implies the power to build or create a new thing." Just what portions of the human store is best to improve on for the cultivated man is a question which he must determine for himself, taking into consideration his individual personal qualities, his love of nature and his sympathies for his fellowmen. American Restlessness. The twin sister of Money Mad has given birth to the offspring, Dishonesty. The desire to get rich quick is running rampant through the land. The young man is too busy to marry and the married man is too busy to stay in a married man's place. The old time peace of the homestead, that blessed home life and home influence, which many of our best men of the Lincoln and Grant type could look back with pride to is by no means so much in evidence. To appease this money mad spirit bribes are taken, personal appropriations made, absconders are increasing and the man is looked at as exceptional who is "beyond price." Those in high lief condemn those below them for dishonesty and yet but little better, if any, is he who organizes a stock corporation and sells bogus shares than he who holds a pistol under a traveler's nose and relieves him of his valuables. Just to live and be happy in this our earthly habitation, within our means, yet getting all of the happiness we can out of our home life, content to keep our noses off the grindstone of discontent, is the remedy which will keep away more things in the long run than severe attacks of nervous prostration. The Age of Women. Is not always owned by them, laughs a man who boasts of the number of years he has lived. To him it is, if not an amusing fact, an unexplainable one. "Age is honorable," and if there is a tendency for women to deny their ages man has forced them to it. It is only natural that women want to be admiringly appreciated by the opposite sex, only natural to wish for their attentions in a general way. But what age of women is it that the average man seeks for social intercourse? To what age woman, unless some elderly woman's extreme infirmity appeals to his better self, does the average man offer his seat in a street car? Straws tell which way the wind is blowing. What aged woman does the average man desire to marry? "O," says the world. "a woman's as old as she looks, but a man's as old as he feels," and so the man of seventy sends out his wedding invitations. Nothing amiss for he needs then more than ever before in life a sympathetic companion, but does he then give the woman of seventy, aye sixty, a chance? "Women break so much faster than men," says one masculine reasoner: "Break?" was asked. "That is, look old," said he. Selfishness. One promising feature about the marriages of men well advanced in life is that they will, in time, render extreme early marriages unpopular, and the woman who does not wish to marry the moment she is out of her teens, so to speak, will be allowed a "breathing spell" after coming out of school before taking up the responsibilities of household cares. Hasten the day of the jolly bachelor girl. The Negro in the World of Music. It is acknowledged, and rightfully so, that there is born in the Negro a love of music and a certain power to express this love in song. Their songs might be divided into four classes: The old plantation melodies, or "before de war" songs, composed by the Negro himself. "Come down an angle trouble de waters" is a fair sample; the songs which tell of the south land and the Negro as a part and parsal of it, for the most part by Anglo-Saxon writers, "My Old Kentucky Home" is a fair sample; the coon songs written by both sides, but fathered by the Negro; and a meritorious up to date class of songs which are quite generally sung by the song loving public, two-thirds of whom do not know they are from Negro writers. Regrets have been uttered that the old plantation melodies are becoming things of the past. As the heart feels so the lips speak. Tomorrow's sky for the Negro before the war was dark gloomy cast. What wonder that in lieu of words he poured his cravings for better things, his abject despair of things as they were into song? What wonder that it was taken up from cotton row to cotton row until the melody rose and swelled and echoed in musical tone waves, defying description? There was a tie which bound those singers and their hearts did beat as one. That class of songs, however, can never live again, for, behold, their sky has changed in its castings. The Bible in the Schools. The decision of the Nebraska Supreme Court last October against the Bible in the schools, and the reconsideration and modification of that decision in the following January, so that the Bible still remains in the schools of that state; the more recent adverse decision by the Supreme Court of California, and the fact that similar decisions have been previously given in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Montana and Washington, are referred to as indicating a drift or tendency which ought to awaken the deep concern of Christian patriots. The National Reform Association sends out an appeal for the observance of some convenient date, as a season of united prayer in behalf of our public schools. The schools are now opening, and their power for good or evil should be remembered by us when we pray.—P. C. Advocate. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION. "By the President of the United States of America. "A proclamation: "The season is at hand when, according to the custom of our people, it falls upon the president to appoint a day of praise and thanksgiving to God. During the last year the Lord has dealt bountifully with us, giving us peace at home and abroad and the chance for our citizens to work for their welfare unhindered by war, famine or plague. It behooves us not only to rejoice greatly because of what has been given us, but to accept it with a solemn sense of responsibility, realizing that under heaven it rests with ourselves to show that we are worthy to use aright what has thus been intrusted to our care. In no other place and at no other time has the experiment of government of the people, by the people and for the people been tried on so vast a scale as here in our own country in the opening years of the twentieth century. Failure would not only be a dreadful thing for us, but a dreadful thing for all mankind, because it would mean loss of hope for all who believe in the power and the righteousness of liberty. Therefore in thanking God for the mercies extended to us in the past, we beseech Him that He may not withhold them in the future and that our hearts may be aroused to war steadfastly for good and against all forces of evil, public and private. "We pray for strength and light, so that in the coming years we may with cleanliness, fearlessness and wisdom do our allotted work on earth in such manner as to show that we are not altogether unworthy of the blessings we have received. "Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, do hereby designate as a day of general thanksgiving, Thursday, the 26th of the coming November, and do recommend that throughout the land people cease from their wonted occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks unto Almighty God for His manifold mercies. "In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington, this 31st day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and three, and of the independence of the United States one hundred and twenty-eight.

It has been discovered that many of the prairie fires that have destroyed the grass on the ranges in Montana and in the western part of Dakota have been started by the concentration of the rays of the sun upon broken beer bottles that are scattered freely along the cattle trails and wagon roads.

It has recently been discovered that by means of radium the genuineness and purity of precious stones may be detected. When a mineral is placed under radium the rays from this mineral give the examined mineral the quality of fluorescence, that is, it produces rays similar to X-rays. A well known chemist of St. Louis has invented a new process of making aluminum, which will make that metal much cheaper than it has been here-tofore. Under the old process a certain specific kind of clay had to be used, which cost $15 per ton. Under the new process, which is called the pyro-chemical process, any kind of clay can be used at only the cost of digging and hauling. Under the new pyro-chemical process aluminum can be produced at less than half the cost it now has. The uses of aluminum, therefore, will be stimulated and encouraged. A company has been organized in St. Louis to manufacture aluminum by the new pyro-chemical process. The Scientific American says: "Let any one who has a case of lockjaw take a quantity of turpentine, warm it and pour it on the wound, no matter where it is and relief will follow in less than a minute. Nothing better can be applied to a severe cut or bruise than cold turpentine. It will give certain relief almost instantly." It seems to be generally assumed both by engineers and the public that very high speed in passenger transportation is desirable. To that end investigations are constantly in progress looking toward a great increase in railway speeds. In Germany a large amount of time and money is being spent on experiments whose aim is the production of an electric or steam locomotive which can run 100 miles an hour, and press despatches announce that an actual speed of 125 4-5 miles has been obtained on the experimental electric road from Berlin to Zossen. Engineering News ventures to question the practicality of such high speeds and to note some difficulties in the way of carrying them out. Owing to the speed of the electric system, together with the requirement of some study in the department of philosophy, history, and sociology, considerable numbers of American students in the larger universities take up psychology, especially that form of it involving laboratory experiment. At Harvard it is elected by 250 students and at Yale by 225, while at Princeton it is compulsory; and it is even taught in some of the preparatory schools. The nature of so-called "heat-lightning," or "summer lightning," has long been a matter of controversy. The phenomenon in question is the appearance of lightning without thunder on pleasant summer evenings, which was formerly asserted by almost all authorities to be the reflection of lightning due to some very distant storm, but is now quite generally regarded as analogous to the brush or glow discharge of an electrical machine. The probability seems to be that these explanations will both hold in different cases. FOR THOSE WHO THINK. The lucky man is the one who grasps his opportunity. Character has a commercial as well as an ethical value. Genius darts, flutters, and tires, but perseverance wears and wins. The largest room in the world is the room for self-improvement. Give a youth resolution and the alphabet, and who shall place limits to his career? We get out of life just what we put into it; the world has for us just what we have for it. Don't brood over the past, or dream of the future, but use the instant and get your lesson from the hour. The Better Wav --- The Bible and Liberty.—The Bible is the best manual that has ever been written on the subject of liberty. It teaches the brotherhood of man; it asserts the fatherhood of God. It tells us that Jehovah is "glorious in holiness"; it proclaims "holiness without which no man shall see the Lord." The world has no book to compare with it. In its pages truth without one single grain of error is found. The utterances of earth's greatest philosophers contain only a few grains of wisdom, but in the utterances of the writers of the Bible wisdom is found that surpasses in value "the gold of Ophir." O that I could compress into a few words all that I desire to say about God's book! What a history this priceless volume has! It is the oldest of existing volumes; the book that gives us a glimpse of creation's morn, and of the hour when the heavens and earth shall pass away; the book that tells us what God is and what men are; the book that asserts that human existence is not circumscribed by the confines of time, but stretches out and out into the illimitable hereafter; the book that imparts a zest to life, robs death of its horrors, and sings of a home where God's children "shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more;" the book that has purified literature and ennobled art; the book that is a friend of liberty and a foe to slavery; the book that meets the wants of every people, simple enough for the Indian in his wigwam, and sufficiently erudite for the philosopher in his study; the book that has found its way to heathen lands, and the idols have fled; the book that has gone to the savage glorying in his brutality, and from his nerveless grasp the tomahawk and scalping knife have dropped; the book in which the dreary dweller at the pole has read about the land where "there shall be no night;" the book over whose blessed pages the Christian toiler at the tropies has wept with holy joy as he listened to the prophet singing, "The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose;" the book whose glorious career is scarcely yet more than begun; the book that is destined, in spite of every opposition, to go on in its blessed, ennobling mission; the book that has been for millions, as over the desert of life they marched, "the cloudy pillar" by day, "the fiery column's glow" by night; the books that will be for countless millions more, the light to guide their pathway to the "house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens;" the book in whose triumphant march no pause will be until the seventh trumpet sounds and great voices in heaven proclaim, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever."—Rev. John Lee. *** Christianity the Best.—For nearly half a hundred years we have been investigating, with absolute sincerity and impartiality, the claims of all religions and philosophies, looking to the betterment of the human race, and the solution of the great problem that lies beyond the grave. At the end of half a century of such investigations, we rejoice to testify that the blessed, self-evident gospel of the Son of God towers above them all, as mountains are above pebbles, as light is above darkness, as truth is above error and falsehood. In every emergency of our life, when all else fell utterly short of ministering to our soul's dire necessities, not only relief, but knowledge, strength and joy have come to us in overflowing fullness, through the humble acceptance of Him who laid down His sweet and blameless life on Calvary. Through the unnumbered evidences and mercies of God, such sure faith has now become the undergirding substance of our conscious existence, so that we "know Him in whom we have believed, and are persuaded that He is able to keep that which we have committed unto Him against that day."—Hicks. 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.

Bryan so hard that he can no longer pose as one of the poor "common" people, and in reply to the jibes which appear from time to time, classing him as a plutocrat, the title applied by him in his first campaigns to all rich people, capitalists, corporations, etc., he feels called upon now to rise and explain. In his Commoner he says a man may amass a fortune without being a plutocrat. While that is true, yet he and all his Populist followers have never before been known to recognize the difference. When they were shouting for effect all rich folk looked alike to them. Now there are others. Seattle Electric Co. 907 FIRST AVE. Capitol Hill... *** It is a sad commentary on the parenthood of our land when it becomes necessary for any influence outside of the home to step in and protect the young manhood of the land from those influences that are making so many of them unfit for the association of self-respecting people. But that something is needed to be done is evident to all, so we say: All hail! to the band of young ladies in Howard, South Dakota, who have expressed a determination to afford protection to the young men of their city who are still in their teens—that formative peoriod, when character is made or wrecked. Who can say that the habits of life of so many young men of the time, making them unfit for the companionship of respectable womanhood, is not responsible, to a large degree, for the fact that so many young ladies prefer single life and commercial pursuits. There is opportunity for a Howard band in every city, village, town and hamlet, and at almost every country crossroads, in our land. Nature's most favored spot for lovely Residences.

LUMBER EXCHANGE BUILDING PHONE MAIN 60 * * * Senator Gorman seems very much exercised over what he calls President Roosevelt's mistake in raising the race issue. With true Democratic versatility he perverts the question, or the facts. President Roosevelt did not raise the race issue; as president of the whole people he has given to the Negro race but a tithe of the recognition due them, and not as much as has some former presidents. But Southern Democrats and their Northern adherents, for some unexplained reason have seen fit to take offense, and it is they, by their disapproval, who have raised the race issue. By their protestations they have called attention to existing conditions to a degree very far in advance of what would have been done, had not their insane jealousy prompted them to speak out. They have no one but themselves to blame for the arousing of public sentiment against the atrocities for which they are also responsible. It is they, not President Roosevelt, who have made the mistake, as Senator Gorman calls it. Call on us for YOUR PIANO OUR PRICES and TERMS TERMS ARE THE LOWEST * * * A Democratic exchange thinks it sees an inconsistency in Republican opposition to fusion as it obtained between Democrats, Populists and Free-Silverites a few years ago and the fusion in New York city at recent election, to which the Republicans were party. To anyone but a blinded bigot there is a wide difference. In the former instance there was a (mis)alliance for office only. In a municipality, even in New York city, the matter of party lines is of small importance compared with good, or even semi-good government, as against such mismanagement and corruption as obtains under Tammany rule. The fusion in New York city is the people who love law and order, regardless of party, crying out and striving to protect themselves against the most corrupt and corrupting combination extant today. The wonder in connection with this matter is that the Democrat party, composed as it is of many good and honest men, does not repudiate Tammany Hall. There would be more hope for its regaining power if it but cut loose from such a degrading influence. So long as the party indorses or fails to repudiate Tammany so long will the Americans refuse again to indorse Democracy. Pianos sold as low as $6.00 Per Month Sherman, Clay & Co. STEINWAY DEALERS THE NETTLETON LAUNDRY TONGS BREWERY *** Many a son of Satan has chosen the livery of Heaven to serve his father in. The latest recorded instance of such a foul forgery is that of an anarchist pleading immunity from punishment for his crimes on the grounds that anarchy is his religion. Somewhere in India there is a wild race of people whose religion is to kill their fellowmen. The more they kill the more favor they are supposed to have with their gods. If those people should come to this country and start to practicing their dogmas on good American citizens would they escape punishment on the plea of religion? We trow not. Neither must the anarchist, who seems to be a slopover from some such heathen cult, be permitted to wield his torch and sword. If anarchy is the religion of its adherents—and no one will doubt but that it is all the religion they profess—it should be remembered that the provisions of the constitution granting religious liberty does not include paganism inimical to life, and especially when the lives sought are the heads of the government, and when, through them, the government itself is struck at. The claim will not stand and anarchism must be suppressed. YES SIR! HERE'S THE BEER, SIR! RAINIER- THE ONLY BEER, SIR! SEATTLE BREWING & MALTING GO. SEATTLE // WASHINGTON. TELEPHONE RAINIER JO. L. C.

Week’s Work Things by Right Names.—The Socialist, an anar- chist sheet published at Seattle, contains in its current issue a cartoon of a laboring man reaching into a ‘‘full dinner pail,’”’? as the Socialist has it marked, but the aforesaid pail contains nothing to eat. If such calamity howlers as the Socialist editor had the running of this government the laboring man wouldn’t have as much as a dinner bucket to call his own.—Mt. Vernon Argus. ee Apropos of the uneasiness felt in some circles as to the effect upon the United States, should England adopt a protective tariff policy, the Philadelphia Press says: ‘In this gigantic war of tariffs the United States would have an advantage. Thanks to the Re- publican party we are forty years ahead in seeing the advantages of protection. Our ring-fence is up and it is John Bull tight. We have in Cuba and the Philip- pines—to say nothing of other lands to come—our tropical markets and products. Thanks to the high wages of protection, we produce cheaper per unit. Our wheat, meat, and manufactures can pass any tariff, as Germany’ has discovered. But with all our advantages, the fight will be bitter. England is our big market. One-third of our exports go there and half of those exports will be taxed under Mr. Chamberlain’s plan. Whether he carries the British electorate or not is another question. He has a fighting chance. If pro- tection does not win in England at first, it will in the end, because it is sound in principle and practice. But it is as plain as day that when England is turning toward protection is no time for us to drop a high tariff. Instead, it must be retained and used under reciprocity treaties to extort concessions. All this country needs to do is to keep on in the way it has been going. Build up its industries by protection, seer markets in South America, China and other such evun- tries, and nothing that European nations can do in the way of tariff barriers will cheek or stop our growth. What they buy of the United States they take because they need it and cannot get it elsewhere as good as low-priced. The people of the United States wish Great Britain well, but they have not much faith in protec- tion helping her to any great extent.’’ The Sooner the Better.—W. J. Bryan specifically denies that he has quit his free-silver hobby. He is still rampant for the sacred ratio, and is resolved ap- parently to oppose any presidential candidate who did not uphold it and him in 1896 and 1900. The ratio of 16 to 1 between gold and silver has not existed as a commercial fact since 1873. Beginning in that year and ending on November 1, 1893, the United States spent $508,853,976 directly in trying to hold up the falling price of silver and thus did much to bring on a panic that cost its people hundreds of millions and caused widespread suffering whose sears are not yet healed. In 1896, when Mr. Bryan won a presidential nomination by a hysterical speech proposing to reverse commercial facts by act of Congress, the average ratio was 31 to 1. At the current price of silver it is nearly 35 to 1. Meanwhile none of the evils predicted by Mr. Bryan have come to pass. Yet Mr. Bryan insists that we are lost unless we do business with 46-cent dollars. Now, as in 1896, Mr. Bryan insists on his party’s dashing out its brains against the stone wall. And he openly threatents any presidential candidate of his party who refused to be as blind as he is himself. Since 1896 he has learned nothing and, besides, has forgotten much, In the light of these facts there is but one thing for the ‘national Democraey to do if it wishes to have any hope of serious consideration. It must cut itself free. With Mr. Bryan any sort of compromise is impossible. He refuses to make the slightest conces- sion. He must be cut off. For his party and for the country, the sooner he is eut off the better.—Inter Ocean. oe Cuba and Roosevelt Win.—‘‘The President insists Congress shall give Cuba a measure of reciprocity,’ says our Washington correspondent. ‘‘Congress will do as he says. The. situation exists merely because Mr. Roosevelt is determined to carry out the pledge given by Mr. McKinley. Publie interest has palled. The Senators and Representatives who led the insur- gent resistance with such uncompromising vigor are tired and willing to let bygones be bygones. Some of the men from the Northwest are disposed to keep up the fight for the sugar beet, but they hardly know why, and it is not likely they will do more than make a protest to establish their regularity on the matter. They will find when they come to Congress that they will have little of the support that enabled them to defeat Mr. Roosevelt in 1902. Candidly, their position, like that of most of Congress, either in the majority or the minority, is an unwillingness to do anything to oppose the set wish of the President. Men in the great Jegislative branches of the Government appre- ciate more than anybody else just how powerful a President is. He can do things. The individuals in Congress want things done. Therefore, why fight longer on a harmless proposition like reciprocity for Cuba ?—Collier’s Weekly. “ee Panic vs. Hard Times. A Democratic contemporary remarks: ‘If the Re- publican papers did not lie in declaring the panic during Cleveland’s last administration as directly due to what they called Democratic policies, what should they call the panie that has prevailed for the last 60 days on Wall street that has been greater in actual loss than during the four years of Clevelandism when many times less was Jost than has been the depreciation in values in the last two months?’’ We will not question our brother’s figures, but take them as true, but the poor fellow is looking through a befogged Democrat glass darkly. Whatever the loss in values has been during the past sixty days, in Wall street, every one knows, who eares to look at things as they are, that much of it was of fictitious values, watered stock; and also that the losses there have not affected the con- ditions of business elsewhere in but a limited degree. It was but the breaking of the trusts, of their own weight. The people at large are not worrying about that kind of panics. Further on our brother says that administrations have nothing to do with panies. So far as this Wall street stock gambling disturbance is concerned, we agree with him, but he will have a hard time convincing the great majority of the American people that the election of Cleveland on a free trade policy was not responsible for the hard times follow- ing said election. Stock jobbing, watered stocks and too much trusts may cause a Wall street panic, but it takes the election of a Democrat president to cause hard times. ‘oe 8 Of all the love affairs in the world, none can surpass the true love of the big boy for his mother. It is pure and noble, honorable in the highest degree to both. I do not mean merely a dutiful affection. I mean a love which makes a boy gallant and courteous to his mother, saying to everybody plainly that he is fairly in love with her. Next to the love of a husband, nothing so crowns a woman’s life with honor as this second love, this devotion of a son to her. And I never yet knew a boy to ‘‘turn out’’ badly who began by falling in love with his mother. Any man may fall in love with a fresh-faced girl, and the man who is gallant with the girl may cruelly neglect the worn and weary wife. But the boy who is a lover of his mother in her middle age is a true knight who will love his wife as much in the sere-leaved autumn as he did in the daisied springtime.
