Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. X. NO. 25 POLITICAL POT-PIE POLITICAL. A. P. Sawyer, private secretary to Senator John L. Wilson, while he was in the United States senate, and subsequently confidential man about Mr. Wilson's big newspaper plant, has just returned from the East, whither he went in the interest of the paper. Being absent from the state for over a month he, when seen by the Pie-maker, had nothing to say on the political situation further than that he was out of politics. In other words there is no politics to be in at the present time, and will not be for nearly eight months, and I do not advocate this crossing the bridge before you get to it. Municipal politics I know absolutely nothing about. When the next Republican municipal convention makes its nomination the Post-Intelligencer will do its part toward electing the ticket. Neither the Post-Intelligencer or its management has any candidate for either mayor or any other municipal or county office, but will stand pat for those candidates selected by the respective conventions. There is entirely too much turkey in sight to discuss politics these days and when Thanksgiving is over for the next thirty days the all absorbing question will be "a suitable Christmas present for the sweetest of the sweet." Hon. S. G. Cosgrove, who has been so repeatedly mentioned by the newspapers as well as the politicians in connection with the next gubernatorial nomination, spent a few days in the city this week looking as cheerful as a bran new silver dollar. The approach of Mr. Cosgrove to some well known friend immediately brought forth the remark, "Its too late, Cosgrove; I have already tied myself up and its utterly impossible for me to support you." To which he promptly replied, "that's an explanation and apology that have greeted me in every town and every place that I have stopped off since I left home. I am puzzled to know why all this concern about me; I am not a candidate, and, if I am a candidate, I have not asked anyone to support me, nor am I on the Sound, or away from home, at this time on any political mission. I regret very much that my friends have tied up with some aspirant for office so soon, because it is not always good to tie up too early in the fight, but so far as I am concerned I am not looking for any political preferment, and I repeat, am not asking any one for their political support one way or the other." The Pie-maker has heard before that Cosgrove would not entertain the talk of him running for governor, a single minute, and preferred for his friends to not discuss it, as it might cause some embarrassment some way or another. But despite the fact that he is not a candidate and will not allow the use of his name, the fact still remains that he is a very popular man in this state, and the rank and file of the voters of the state are anxious to support him for high political honors. Up and down the streets of Seattle he was greeted on all sides by political admirers, as well as social friends, and one would no sooner grasp his hands before others would rush up and greet him as though a hero from some battle field had just returned. Such general warmth of friendship on the part of one's fellow citizen is, after all, worth more than the governorship, yea, even the presidency. There certainly is not much doing in political circles at present, and, owing to the fact that most everybody and his brother are making preparations for both Thanksgiving and Christmas, political news seems absolutely on the bum. Since the death of Senator Hamilton the United States senatorial situation has not been discussed very extensively. Senator Foster is in Washington City, and his fight is to some extent sleeping; Senator Wilson has gone to Washington City to be with his family Thanksgiving, and Sam Piles has not as yet returned from Kentucky, whither he went in quest of better health. The above being a fact, the Pie-maker's statement to the effect that there is nothing doing in political circles is more than verified. Some of the weekly newspapers of the state are already out with a statement that Hamilton's political toga is to fall on the shoulders of Mayor Campbell, who will soon announce his candidacy for the United States SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1903 senatorship. Such talk, however, is mere prattle, as he would have no more show of carrying Pierce county against Foster than a lump of ice passing through hades without meitlng. It was very questionable whether Hamilton himself could have done so, but be that as it will or may, it is absolutely certain that Campbell cannot do so, his municipal popularity to the contrary notwithstanding. However, Mayor Campbell, with the aid of others, may be able to have a number of second choice men named on the legislative ticket, who would only support Foster half-heartedly, with the hope of an opportunity presenting itself when they could honorably break away from him. Speaking about the Pierce county legislative delegation the Pie-maker understands that the number of aspirants for the various honors are simply legion, and a Kill kinney cat fight may be the final outcome. From the district represented by the late lamented Hamilton it is said that Walter Christian has almost a cinche for the nomination of state senator. Christian was an avowed candidate for this nomination, even before Hamilton died, but Hamilton was equally avowed that he should never have it unless he swore allegiance to him (Hamilton) and Christian was an undying Foster man, and would not surrender even though it cost him the nomination for state senator In the Puyallup district, which has been represented by Cary Stewart, another fight is brewing. The leaders of this battle will be Stewart and Palmhamus. The two leaders do not differe so much as to United States senatorial timber, for it seems they are both for Foster or for any one else that the county decides on supporting; but they are political rivals and the one is always jealous of the others' political success. Both of them have quite a few dollars at their command and, if reports be true, both are fond of getting their "bite" or "cut" out of any swag that might be floating around, but, be that as it will or may, they are going to make the fight of their lives to capture the nomination for state senator at the hands of the Republican district convention to be held next year. If the White River Journal has a suitable candidate for county auditor it would do well to trot him out and get him acquainted with the politicians. That section of the county thus far has announced no candidate for any county office and if it will come out strong for the nomination of county auditor there will be nothing more to it. It is hoped that the next county auditor and his chief deputy will do more than spend two-thirds of their time at baseball games and remembering that the White River Valley furnished King county with an auditor some four years ago that attended to his business and made his chief deputy do the same thing, though such auditor came from the Fusion ranks, the Pie-maker is of the opinion that the Republicans might be able to do as well and trot out a good man. Anything would be an improvement over the present layout, but if the Valley boys go out for the nomination they will advocate a whole-soul fellow who will attend to the duties of the office and not to the baseball games and horse races of the day. The man who publishes or causes to be published any statement to the effect that A. T. Van De Vanter is a candidate for the governorship knows no more about the politics of the county and state, at least from a Republican standpoint, than a new-born babe. Van is not a candidate for anything, only to be let alone, providing you want to, and in case you do not want to, then fire away, for it does not disturn his quiet—one way or the other. The Seattle postoffice fight still looms up in the distance. Both of the senators from this state have asked the appointment of Hon. W. A. Carle, but Congressman Humphrey is steadfast and immovable for George M. Stewart and though Mr. Carle be the best man in the whole county for the place, yet in the history of the political affairs of the country the rule has been that the Congressman name the postmaster of his immediate town and it is hardly possible that the precedent will be broken in this instance. Stewart has made an ideal official and it is barely possible Mr. Carle would do equally as well if he was postmaster, but Stewart having done his whole duty in every particular, the President will not feel called upon to orerturn all precedent in the political world to turn one good man out even though he puts in another good man. UNIVERSIT OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 JBLICAN 903 PRICE FIVE CENTS Tales of the Town With the death of David E. Durie, the father of new Seattle, who departed this life at Tacoma a few days ago, a central figure in the past history of this city is removed. Coming to this city about twenty years ago, he soon hewed for himself a position in the business world, and by force of vigorous personality and personal worth, a place in the affairs of the city and county, and did service in both, for which he is held in greatful remembrance by our citizens. After the great fire that laid Seattle low, Mr. Durie was one of the leaders in its reconstruction and new growth, and thereby acquired the soubriquet of "The Father of New Seattle." When the city was stood on beams end by the defalcation of Treasurer Adolph King, David E. Durie was the man turned to, to bring order out of chaos. As a member of the city council he left a record worthy of emulation. The body was laid away on Wednesday, in Lake View Cemetery, with proper ceremony. Missourians Took the Cake.—Hon. L. B. Andrews, receiver of the local land office, was overheard one day last week repeating a story, which he says was told him by Hon. Thomas Hayton, who was a member of the Constitutional convention. Mr. Hayton hailed from the Fortieth legislative district, situated in the bunch grass section of the state, where settlers were very scarce; so scarce that the sight of a human being, irrespective of peculiarities, was always very highly appreciated by the other fellow. Some one asked the old frontiersman what was the make-up of his community as to citizenship, to which he replied: "A few Russians, a few Chinamen, a few Dagoes, lots of rattlesnakes and some Missourians." Quite a mixture, and I am anxious to know how you get along together?" was a second question. "Well, sir, of that conglomeration the Missourians seem to be the only disagreeable ones; balance of us seem to be perfectly willing to abide together in perfect happiness, the one letting the other severely alone." In naming candidates for the various offices same weeks ago the Pie-maker overlooked the fact that Dr. Frank M. Carroll would be a candidate for county coroner. The Pie-maker has been creditably informed that Dr. Carroll is the only aspirant thus far that has come to the surface and unless the signs of the times deceive the average political wiseacre, he will not have any opposition in the county convention. It Didn't Identify.—During a part of the last summer James D. Hoge Jr., who at that time was president of the First National Bank, but who is now in charge of the Union Trust Company, and George B. Kittenger the well-known real estate man and partner of ex-Governor John H. McGraw, not only camped together but likewise bunked together, and thereby hangs a tale. Mr. Hoge was suddenly called away on business and with the exception of changing his linen, made no further preparations for the trip. There were no electric lights to turn on, and having to dress in semi-darkness caused a painful mix-up in men's linen. He did not take time to come to town to get a little extra money for the trip, but proceeded on his journey from his camp. He expected to return in a couple of days, and of course would not need very much. In the place he went he was poorly acquainted, but that did not disturb him, as he would be there but a few hours. Disappointments came thick and fast, however, in settling up his affairs, and he was detained there for more than a week. Being a rather quiet town he had to do something to amuse himself, and so he attended every church fair and concert in a five-mile radius and spent money like a prince. In short, the girls pronounced him "a good thing." Finally the time rolled around for him to start home, and on counting over his bankroll, to his surprise he had neither money enough to pay his hotel bill or his railroad fare home. There was a little one-horse national bank in the town, and as is so often the case, the cashier would not have exchanged places with President Roosevelt. Hoge went in and asked the cashier, after explaining who he was, to cash a draft for him. "You'll have to be identified, my man." Letters, cards, business documents galore rolled out of Hoge's pocket, but the cashier was not satisfied. Hoge was by this time truly "up against it," for he did not know that a single man in the town --- SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. X. NO. 25 POLITICAL POT-PIE POLITICAL. A. P.

"Well," finally concluded the cashier, "if the mark on your shirt tallies with the initials you have given, I will consider you identified." Dead easy, thought Hoge, and like a flash he threw open his vest and all but fell dead when, like a ten-mile signboard "G. B. K." loomed up. That settled the case, and Hoge was compelled to wait for a telegram from his bank to partially identify him, so as to get his money. In the darkness he had put on one of Kittenger's shirts instead of his own. Death at any time, and from any cause, is always a sad thing to hear about, and although violent deaths are so often reported nowadays, every paper giving accounts of persons being taken off, yet to read of them casts a gloom over the reader. This comes with double force when a well-known or prominent man suddenly, in the prime of life, is taken hence. The announcement in Monday's papers of the death by drowning, by falling from a city dock, of Mr. W. St. M. Barnes, was no exception to the rule. Mr. Barnes was well known in the city, and his sudden taking off was a surprise and a regret. The death of this man, as well as that of numerous others who have met death in a similar manner, is the result of the careless, if not criminal neglect, of the city council, in not requiring the necessary protection along our water front. Not only should sufficient lights be provided, but all docks and slips should be equipped with gates to be kept closed when docks are not in use, making it impossible for a person to get to a wrong dock or slip. The crying need, however, is more lights to illuminate the dark places. The Twinkler's Sensation.—A good story is being told about town at the expense of the little evening twinkler, which, by the way, tries to palm itself off as an afternoon paper, by glutting its pages with sensations and scandals, and then putting them in black-face type with great scare head lines. One evening not long since it had a great suicide story about a man having committed the rash act in broad daylight. His name in full was given, and a brief obituary followed. The next morning the man who had committed suicide walked into the city editor's office, and holding up the article to the editor, said: "I came to see if you could verify this statement." "Why, certainly we can," quickly retorted the $15-a-week pinhead. "And Mr. —, then, is really dead, is he, and committed suicide?" "You bet you, and his remains are now at the undertaker's." "Well, young man, I've always heard that newspaper men were the most consummate liars unhung, but you take the cake. I am Mr. —, and I am neither dead nor damned." The pinhead looked like 30 cents with a hole in it, and profusely offered to print a retraction, but the "dead man" objected to such a proceeding, for nobody ever believes a word they see in the sheet, anyway; and he closed the seance with, "See it in the Twinkler and you know it's a sensational lie." My friends paid no attention to the statement, knowing that one-half you print is a plain lie and the other half a — lie." A Literary Gem.—Speaking of "pasons" and "pastors" of churches, who in these latter years have "rized" above such menial titles, and D. D., LL.D., taking their place, the following letter written by a "D. D." to a well-known business man of this city, is such a literary gem that the world of letters would lose a great deal if it did not find its way into print, and for that reason it is reproduced exactly as written: seattle washington. nov 11. 1903 MR. ---, dear sir on the account of the rush in your buisness i have failed to get a audience with you therefore i take this opportunity to put our matter before you. the --- --- chureh of whieh i am pastor have bought a lot and will build a house of worship with the assistance of our many friends, these are the names of those that have helped us. and beleave you will help a worthey cause, trusting you will help us you can make the check payable to.

The verdict of the jury must have been a genuine surprise for Judge Cann, who found Page guilty and imposed a fine of $60 and cost on him. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Magazine Club Magazine Club (SUSIE REVELS CAYTON.) The Magazine Club was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. George H. Grose last Friday evening and subjects were discussed along the following lines: Self-Reliance. "Know thyself," one great writer has said; "Trust thyself," writes another. To do the one necessitates doing the other. The man who does not trust himself is the man who is buffed and batted from "pillar to post," in his own mind. He is in continual warfare between hopes and fears. There is peace of mind, however, for the man who does his best and lets it go for what it is worth, never waiting or looking for secondary testimony—his own conscience his guide. Observation will disclose how far the lack of self-reliance goes in one's friends, and perchance in silently watching the objectionable in others one may better see how to prune out the false growth in self. Mothers are giving more thought and time to watching the actions of their children, looking upon them as forerunners of that which is to form the makeup of the man. "You will have to continually boost up this youngster's self-reliance," said an elderly woman; as she kindly smiled over her spectacles at the palm of her friend's "first baby." Taking her view of it, the boosting is splendid for children, and it will come nothing amiss for those of older growth to keep their store of self-reliance well boosted. The Detail Man. In the general arrangement of things there must be "hewers of wood and drawers of water." All cannot lead. There must be a manager and those who sow. Complications have given birth to a third, or middle, man, known as the detail man. His mind is the skeleton on which the business hangs, his judgment the hinge on which it turns. He knows more about the condition of the establishment than the owner thereof; but his place is at his desk, out of the public sight, a fact which prevents many from becoming detail men. Although drawing an excellent salary, unless he invests it on the outside and becomes prominent among men by that means, he, although possessing in his line a master mind, may live and die and the world would be none the wiser. The obscurity is disliked, however, when used as a means to an end—stepping stones, as it were—the detail man receives a nest-egg of no small dimensions, and a schooling beyond price. For and Against Football. Opinions of football differ. Some claim that it is a part calculated to develop the muscle, and will usher in a race of physical giants, comparatively speaking—in short, is a great incentive to physical culture. Many claim it teaches endurance and develops forbearance; others fear it endangers life and limb, excites the mind and draws it from more substantial things, while all of the evil propensities in human beings are developed. Yet others, the happy medium, perchance, claim that if the game could be simplified or robbed of a greater part of that which weighs down the players with responsibilities, it would be a praiseworthy pastime. Be these arguments as they may, football is with us, and, seemingly, to stay. A stimulus in the place of war, but so were the gladiators and bull-fighters of yesterday, and the prize-fights, cock-fights and the horse racers of today. Young boys, healthy and strong, have so much pent-up energy which they must give vent to, and football furnishes the means to that end, claim some older men who are at heart boys yet. If the affairs of men are such that they need diversion in the form of excitement, so intense that millions flock to witness it and mild-mannered citizens yell in furious frenzy, why, football can supply the long-felt want. The Better Wav Don't Flicker!—High standards are often, perhaps oftenest, found in lowly places. An old Negro in the South, who proudly called himself "The Drummer's Friend," and who lived to make himself useful to travelers passing through his city, was telling with honest satisfaction of the confidence that had been placed in him by a commercial traveler. "He opened up his cases of samples in his hotel room," he said, "and he put me in charge of 'em, and he said to me, 'Now, don't you let anybody come in here or touch a thing while I'm out.' There was more than two thousand dollars' worth of goods in those cases, and he opened 'em right up and left 'em with me. And," said the old fellow, very seriously, "if I'd 'a' flickered, I'd 'a' lost my rep." Oh, for men and women to take every situation in life in that same spirit! For the "rep." goes when we "flicker," whether we think so or not. True and Counterfeit Courage.—It would seem as though courage were an easily recognized trait of character, that a deed could not be taken for brave unless it really were brave. And yet, perhaps, no quality of mind is more easily masked or counterfeited. Much that passes for bravery is sheer insensibility, failure to take in the situation. A superficial or a self-confident person may seem brave just because he does not see or feel the importance of danger. Ribot, the distinguished psychologist, says: "A complete idiot shows no signs of fear." Real courage is apprehensive. Fear is an essential element of true bravery. And the man who is strong enough to march into danger while fully seeing, and even fearing it, is the man that makes a true hero. The man who is never afraid has reason to fear himself. Principles.—It is not strength of brain that saves a man, or orthodoxy of creed, or connection with a church. All these have often proved to be but ropes of sand. They are not proof against the tides of temptation. There must be firm, heaven-implanted principle—for no one is safe in business, in politics, or in social life, or anywhere, when conscience is unloosened from God. The parting of the cable may be unseen for a while, it may even be unsuspected; but it is a mere question of time how soon the backslider may strike the rocks. Jesus Christ never insured anyone who united with the church, and yet has no "anchor sure and steadfast which entereth within the vail," and "binds fast to Christ himself." And if you ever reach heaven, my brother, you will come in as I have often seen vessels come into yonder harbor of New York, with the storm-tide anchor swinging proudly at the prow. "There are ships," said the eloquent Melville, "that never go down in life's tempests. They shall be in no peril when the last hurricane shall sweep earth and sea and sky; and when the fury is overpast, and the light that knows no night breaks gloriously forth, they shall be found on tranquil and crystal waters, resting beautifully upon their shadows." These are they who have been piloted by the Holy Spirit; these are faithful ones whose inner soul was anchored to Jesus Christ."—Theodore L. Cuyler, D. D. --- The Bible as Literature.—Some folk have so much reverence for the Bible that they never read it. While they have dainty little volumes of Shakespeare which through their very neatness invite attention, and while for all kinds of literature handy pocket-editions are in vogue, the religious household is adorned by a clumsy and cumbersome Family-Bible, at once too awkward and "too sacred" to be frequently used. This is deplorable. For while we are not prepared to admit that every comma and iota of the Old Testament is inspired, we have reasons to think that the Jewish records are quite as interesting as the mythologies or histories of other people. Has not even Voltaire found in Moses a Hebrew version of Bachus, in Edith, the wife of Lot the story of Eurydice, and in the ram of Isaac a prototype to the cow of Diana? Walter Scott on his deathbed referred to the Bible as to the "one book." Charles Dickens calls it "an infallible guide through life." Lord Byron recognizes in it "the path to salvation. Goethe "returns to it after much wandering." Heine claims that he is "indebted for his enlightenment to the reading of the Bible." Rousseau raises the question "can a book at once so simple and so sublime, be the product of man?" Humboldt discovers in it "the surest fountain of comfort." Napoleon did "not grow weary in reading it daily." However, the Bible did not fall ready-made from heaven. It has its imperfections. What divine blessings can we derive from reading about Samson, the Jewish pugilist; what religious elevation from the diplomacy of Esther, or what helpful lessons from the raven of Elijah? We realize of course that all these stories might be beautifully symbolized, as, for instance, the love-song of Solomon has been made an allegory on the affection of Christ for His church. This, however, is a dangerous policy. In the first place, there is no need for imparting to human affection aught but that inherent divinity which graces the God-designed love of a man for a woman, and in the second place such symbolizing might be turned the other way, as in the case of the modern commentators who interpreted the Greek legend of Ariadne's desertion and final redemption by the God Gachus as an allegory to the effect that the lonely woman took to drinking. The Bible can stand on its own merits. It does not depend for its worth on the prejudice of the credulous. If our public schools reject a sectarian book they ought to accept the record of Jewish history as they accept the record of Greek or Roman history. Not to know the Bible is ignorance. Secular history calls for its study. I am glad that the heroes of the Hebrews had their faults, and I appreciate a book that freely admits these faults. I am glad that a man who was a great sinner could still be "a man after the heart of God." I rejoice in the errors of Solomon, for his shortcomings brings my own life within the reach of God's standard. We do not elevate the Bible by making it a sort of a holy spook. We do not make it attractive by turning characters of flesh and blood into pedestaled saints. We do not create reverence by pooh-poohing criticism. David, Jonah, Ruth, Solomon may be celebrities at the court of Jehovah, but they are of the earth earth. Is the Bible less divine because it is more human?—Rev. Andreas Bard.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Established May. 1894. H. R. Cayton.....Editor Susie Revels Cayton.....Associate An exchange suggests Speaker Cannon as a possible presidential candidate in 1908. That might be a good shot. Banks may be breaking in the East, but they are building in Seattle. In other words new banks are periodically throwing open their doors for business and the beauty of it all is, they are getting it. Science has perfected the means by which germs in different foods and liquids may be discovered. Did one take thought of all the different species of bacteria, how found and where, he would become so timid as to flee when no man pursued; yea, even his sleeping hours would reek with deep anxiety. We stand next to Germany in in Democrats are working hard for an issue in the coming presidential campaign, but if they tackle the Panama-Canal-Expansion one they will have a hard time of carrying even Mississippi for their standard bearer. With the introduction of a bill in the senate for the annexation of Cuba a fruitful source for eloquence is provided. The proposition, however, is of doubtful benefit either to Cuba or to the United States. If Tom Horn's outlaw friends had talked less out of their mouths they perhaps might have prevented Tom from rounding the great Horn of life by the rope route. "People will talk you know" and in some instances they will talk too much. Tammany elected the mayor of Greater New York, but luckily it can not elect the president next year, as the rest of the state is able to neutralize its un-American vote. Tammany is a large pest blotch on the body politic, but quarantine regulations are good. The ill wind that blows nobody good does not reach Seattle for her citizens climb her hills, pant and blow and yet rejoice that the automobiles, with their high speed rage are confining themselves to strengthening the death rate in the Eastern states as yet. Trying to force practicing dentists into a dental "trust," which hogs everything in sight by practically committing highway robbery on their victims, is a form of blaickmailing that those connected with the nefarious scheme is deserving of a term in the penitentiary. There was nothing too mean for the Democrat speakers and press to say about "Mark Hanna" a few years ago, but they are so anxious now that he should be a presidential candidate, that the old fellow may be forced to flee the country to prevent being nominated by them, on a 16 to 1 platform. In "organized labor" refusing to endorse "socialism" on the grounds that that particular "ism" is dangerous to the public good, reminds us of the old saying, "the pot calling the kettle black." If there is any organization in this country more inimical to our free institutions than organized labor no one has as yet discovered it. Why not permit the term "business man" to become obsolete and in lieu thereof substitute the term "grafter." The man in the employ of the government of a private person or business who does not work his "graft" overtime is the exception and by no means the rule these piping days of "get rich quick. And the Seattle Daily Bulletin is to have competition in its specific line of journalism, which opposition is to be fostered by the Seattle Daily Times; because forsooth the Bulletin would not become a party to robbing the city of Seattle. Such may be "business," but it's damn poor business. The greed to realize greater and greater results is the very rope which hangs so many ambitious swindlers. Business corruption and individual scheming, in the long run, cure themselves, owing to the fact that they cram and cram till they burst their bounds, take a back seat, and let the more worthy come forward. Science has perfected the means by which germs in different foods and liquids may be discovered. Did one take thought of all the different species of bacteria, how found and where, he would become so timid as to flee when no man pursued; yea, even his sleeping hours would reek with deep anxiety. We stand next to Germany in industrial education, but in our common schools we lead the whole world. The child of poverty, to home comforts unknown, may enter our schools, pursue their course by the side of the wealthiest and come forth with the educational heritage and high standards of an American citizen. Some noted lecturer on being asked for a definition for a "good business man" replied, "the man who can get the best of the other fellow in a trade or bargain." A man with such a sentiment is a thief, an embezzler, a high way robber and everything else dangerous to human good only because he has not had an opportunity to find it out. "This envelope contains one copy of White's Sayings." How wise of White to post those to whom his "Sayings" is sent that but one dose a month is to be taken, for, if by mistake two had been sent and both taken, the constitution has not been made that would not have been shattered into "innocuous desuetude" instanter, if not sooner. When politicians get their heads together, people expect to see something happen. Down in New York a rich chap with only one ear has "got next" to a young German with an ear to spare. While they may not be politicians, yet they have their heads together, and the expected result is that an ear from the German will "grab loose" from its native heath and cleave to the man of money. America's liberal views, her many opportunities, and her industrial democracy give room for such rapid financial growth, and spurs ambition to such an extent that the need for spiritual growth waxes greater and greater. There is nothing which can counter balance the material interests, keeping back individual dishonesty and corruption in the many, as a healthy growth in spiritual affairs. It would be a charitable act if Mrs. Carrie Nation could be placed in some well ordered sanitarium. While she is perhaps not crazy, yet she is a crank, at least, and to such an extent that it would be better for the public, the cause of reform, and for herself, if she could be mildly restrained. The friends of true reform ought to move in this matter. True reform comes not by the methods she employs. Jocular journalism has become a part and parcel of American newspaperdom and the average American enjoys a breezy burlesque or a bit of extravagant humor but the loyal American citizen can not but feel that the limit has been overstepped when noting some of the recent cartoons of our President. To depict the head of the government in such a manner will bring about a familiarity which can but tend toward contempt. The inocuous desuetude with reference to the local gambling situation is so loud in its silence that people are wondering why they are taxed to maintain courts, peace officers and prosecutors and if it would not be more honorable as well as cheaper to give up the farce. The American people are proverbially long suffering and hopeful, remembering that deep water runs still sometimes, but they like to have an occasional assurance that it is still running. The assurance is evident that gambling is still running and they would like to know if certain officials are, and if on the move in which direction.

Alaska's prayer to the National Government for a territorial government does not appear to be an unreasonable one, only to the federal grafter, who doubtless makes ten times more out of his graft than he does out of his office. Columbia is right in wanting to protect her honor, but from newspaper accounts it's a surprise to most people to learn that she had any honor left to protect. In protecting her honor, however, Colombia would show good sense to let her dogs of war loose on some other fellow besides Uncle Sam. Spain can give her some splendid advice on this point. The anti-canteen law has been applied to the national legislature halls as well as army posts, and now the fire drinking members have to rustle out across the street, bootleg it, or go without. There is a suspicion that the abolishing of bars in the Capitol building was brought about by those interested in the re-establishment of the army canteens, believing that a felow feeling would make congressmen wondrous kind. Democracy owes President Roosevelt a debt of gratitude that it can pay in only one way, and that is by making his election, next year, unanimous. The thing for which they are indebted is his recognition of the new republic of Panama, without asking their consent; thereby giving them an issue. They were really in a bad way for an issue, but now they have one, and the way they have started in to work it, proves how hungry, even to desperation, they were. To be sure, there is no meat on the carcass, but they can grind their teeth a while on the bones, which is far better than inaction. The failure of certain school teachers to successfully pass the required examination, and thus deprived of their employment, make prominent a serious error in our public school laws. While some sort of an examination is necessary to determine a would-be teacher's ability, acquired as well as natural, yet the imposing a hard and fast rule upon all alike, is an injustice and a relic of the dark ages that should be abolished. If a person has been giving satisfaction as a teacher, it is not just to refuse her further employment simply because she is unable to answer a list of test questions, probably none of them within the scope of her grade and wholly irrelevant. An ability to teach properly is all that is necessary. Here is a law that sadly needs doctoring. When the question of Cuban reciprocity came to a vote in the lower house of congress, it went through with a rush.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING. There is use for aceteline as an insect destroyer on farms. Last spring experiments were tried, in the vineyards of Beaujulais, to see if insects could be caught by bright lights burning at night. An apparatus was built consisting of an acetylene generator supplying a single jet. About eight or ten inches below the jet was placed a pan containing some water, on which floated a layer of kerosene. The lights attracted the insects, and the fumes of the kerosene overcame them, so that they dropped into the pan. During one month, the average for each lamp was over three thousand insects per night. A new alloy of steel is vanadium steel. When three to five parts of this metal, now little known, is added to a thousand parts of steel, it communicates remarkable properties. Vanadium does not confer any new properties on the steel, but it doubles its resistance to fracture of all kinds, and gives such extreme hardness that the thickness of armor-plate on war vessels can be reduced about one-half. Curiously enough, vanadium steel is hardened, not by tempering, but by annealing at a fairly high temperature, so that a cutting tool made of it may be used when it is almost red-hot, and when one of ordinary steel would be soft and useless. The common belief that forests regulate river flow and prevent floods is pronounced fallacious. It is admitted that water from a forest area runs off somewhat more slowly than from cleared land, but the difference is noticeable chiefly at low water and is of little importance in time of flood, while in the case of large rivers it is always relatively trivial. Floods on the Ohio and Mississippi are shown from records to have been as great when their headwaters flowed through the virgin forest as they are today. The remedy for floods, the writer believes, is to be found in a scientific system of river regulation, which is something that his never been fully carried out in this country. This is, of course, a characteristic engineers' view of the subject and would probably not be accepted by all experts. Much of the expense of installation of a trolley system lies in the solid and costly track, which must be adapted to the high speeds now reached. For many routes this cost is prohibitive, and it is therefore interesting to learn that the so-called "trackless trolley," or trolley omnibus, is being seriously taken up and that several lines are in successful operation abroad. One of these, in the valley of the Biela, is six miles long; another, from Samois to Fontainebleau, France, is three miles. The cars, or automobile stages, take their power from a trolley wire, but have considerable liberty of movement. In one system the trolley-wheel is propelled along the wire by a little motor of its own, and the connection with the omnibus is by a flexible cable. The cost of operation, including repairs, is said to be less than a cent per vehicle per mile. Deposits of gold in the gravel of the southwestern states, which can not be worked in the usual way on account of the absence of water, will be made available, it is claimed, by the separator of Thomas A. Edison. This device is not new; it was tried three years ago in New Mexico, but did not pay because the deposit was not sufficiently rich. The discovery of richer "desert" deposits, together with improvements in the machine, will, it is said, insure its successful use. The device is simple, its action depending merely on a powerful air-blast to blow away the lighter sand from the heavy gold particles, as they fall together through the air. The separation is not absolutely complete, but the gold is left so nearly pure that it may easily be cleaned by the ordinary processes. If the performance of the machine equals its promise, it will develop large regions that have been hitherto useless. Why does popcorn pop? The philosophy of the process, which has been greatly cleared up by an investigation made by Professor Henry Kraemer, of Philadelphia. He finds that the "popping," or explosive expansion of the starch grains, depends partly on the arrangement of these grains in the kernel, and partly on the relative amount of air and water that they contain. It has nothing to do with the enclosing envelope, for bits of the kernel will pop like a whole grain. In other kinds of corn where the structure is different, expansion of the grain due to heat may simply cause a general swelling as in sweet corn, or a splitting open as in "dent" corn; but in the popcorn the grains are horny and very closely packed, so that when heated the grain not only splits, but the parts also pop separately. The Great Western Railway of England has decided to run automobile cars on some of its branches. This course has been necessitated by the competition of parallel trolley roads. The automobiles used will be steamdriven, and will make stops between regular stations, at all level crossings and at points where footpaths give access to the line. In this way it is hoped to successfully compete with the trolley roads. "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as President by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it, and unfit for President if I could be capable of doing it." This was President Roosevelt's comment to friends on a recent speech of Senator Gorman attacking him for receiving Booker T. Washington at the White House and inviting him to remain to luncheon. The President continued: "I do not expect to be elected President by the special privileges; nor by the most radical labor union men, who would shut out all other men from an opportunity to work; nor by those who would close the door of hope against the colored man as a citizen. They are all demanding special privileges which cannot be recognized by the President, whose oath of office binds him to execute the laws for all alike and recognize none as above the law. If I am elected to this high office it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations." Gentle Hint. They sat well forward in the shade of the awning. "But, my dear," whispered the young man, "you should not object to my having my arm about you when even the scenery is setting me the example." "Is it?" asked the shy malden. "Yes, indeed. See, there is an arm of the bay hugging the shore." "Yes?" she disputed. "But the shore has a cape and I have not." It was but the work of a moment for him to rush to the stateroom and get it for her. Cruel. "When he proposed to me I was delighted, of course," confessed Miss Anteek, "but I tried not to let my face show him what my answer would be." "And did you succeed?" asked Miss Peppery. "No, he found his answer there." "Ah! Read between the lines, I suppose." Promoters of Courage. Spartacus—Women are a great incentive to manly courage. Smarticus—That's right. Since I've been married and had a few tilts with my wife the prospect of a scrap with the meanest man on earth seems like mere child's play to me.

Passing Events Passing Events A Democratic Blunder. That the Democrat party is controlled by the hot-headed Negro haters of the south has been known for a long time, but it has been made obnoxiously apparent—to all colored people, at least—by the selection of John S. Williams, of Mississippi, as the party leader in congress. In the words of a southern contemporary: "The Democratic party has certainly come to a pretty pass when it is obliged to select an insignificant little rebel from a state like Mississippi to be its leader and manager on the floor of congress." Mississippi is the first one of the southern states that adopted a constitution under the provisions of which the Fifteenth amendment is evaded and virtually abrogated. Instead of being the leader of a great party in congress, if the Republican members of that body had the courage of their convictions this man would not be allowed to occupy a seat in the House, because he is the official product of political vice and a violated constitution. When he and his associates subscribe to the oath of office in which they swear to obey the Constitution of the United States, they do so with mental reservation and with purpose of evasion. If that constitution were obeyed, respected and enforced, John S. Williams and about forty other members from the south would not be members of congress. The selection of Williams is conclusive evidence of the fact that the northern Democratic members of congress are not leaders but followers of the fire-eaters and hot-heads of the south. They are thus placed upon record as giving their approval of, and acquiescence in, all of the tricks and devices that the southern Democrats have adopted to violate and evade the war amendments to the Federal constitution. For they have deliberately selected as their leader a man who is not only a typical representative, and a product of such methods, but one who does not hesitate to so express himself. We read not long since an interview that a newspaper correspondent had with Mr. Williams, in which he declared that the Fifteenth amendment was a crime and that Negro suffrage is a mistake and a blunder. When northern Democratic members of congress vote to make this man their leader they thus place themselves on record as giving their approval and indorsement to his acts and utterances upon this question. Senator Gorman and the Race Question.—It is well understod by all who read and think that the race buga-boo was not raised by President Roosevelt, as is claimed by the Democratic press, but by Democrats themselves, for political effect. It is also well known that in the southern states where Negroes are illegally disfranchised, that the disfranchisement does not apply to those Negroes who can be coaxed, hired or coerced into voting the Democratic ticket. The avowed fear of Negro domination does not exist except as a scapegoat for fears of Republican rule. These facts being so well known, it ill-becomes Senator Gorman, of Maryland, at this late date to revive old issues, as he did to help out the Democratic party in that state. The dastardly part of the whole thing is that he had such a lack of conscience, political ethics and common honesty, as to permit him to lay the charge for raising the question at the door of President Roosevelt. The president, however, meets the issue in an open, fearless manner. To Senator Gorman and the other fire-eaters of the south, the President is reported to have said: "If I could be elected president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it, and unfit to be President, if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected President by those who would close the door of hope to the colored man as a citizen." * * * The strong point made by Senator Gorman to intensify the feeling of the southern people was a play upon their prejudices by raising the "social equality" question. As to the matter of social equality, in its proper sense, the Negro does not ask or desire it. All he wants is to be let alone and given an equal chance for "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Speaking on this phase of the question the Omaha Enterprise has somewhat to say upon a side of the question that is apt to be overlooked or little regarded by people of the north. We quote: Senator Gorman says that "the slaves were elevated and educated by being the slaves of a white race, and all over the inhabited globe the Negroes, when they are under subjugation and guidance of white men, are honest and thrifty, but otherwise they are degenerate and unprogressive." If wholesale bastardy is elevation and education, then Senator Gorman is right in maintaining that "the slaves were elevated and educated by being the slaves of a white race." For, in Baltimore alone, there are 25,000 "white Negroes," begotten out of wedlock, not with the consent of ravished Negro mothers, but in spite of their protest because they were "the slaves of a white race," and were "under the subjugation and guidance of white men" like Senator Gorman. In the veins of these mulattoes course the blood of the first families of Maryland. The editor of this paper is a Marylander and knows whereof he speaks, for his great grandfather was one of the most wealthy and proudest of Maryland's sons, and what his remote ancestors were the immediate ancestors of thousands of his brethren are. These are facts that Senator Gorman wants to bear in mind when he is shedding crocodile tears over the menace that "the enfranchisement of the Negroes by constitutional amendment" is "to the safety and honor of the women of the south." Such absurdity! One marvels that such a scholarly and learned scion of the superior race, "a white race," as Senator Gorman could be guilty of such purile and specious special pleading. President Roosevelt is not attempting to encompass "social equality for the Negro." This Senator Gorman and all his ilk know full well. The apparent great fear of the south is race intermixture, as the result of "social equality" between the races. The southern cavaliers are almost wholly responsible for the race admixture of today. And, as Senator Gorman well knows, throughout his section men who are prating loudest about "social equality" are in many instances living in dishonorable concubinage with foolish women of the Negro race. Senator Gorman knows this, and we openly challenge him to deny it. Democratic Versitility.—As has been before intimated, the average Democrat is a versatile being. It makes no difference what the conditions are, he is ready to make capital out of it against the Republican party. A few years ago, when the country was recovering from the disaster incident to the Cleveland administration, coming up by leaps and bounds, he said it was not genuine prosperity; it would not last; Mark Hanna was doing it all just to vindicate claims made by the Republicans. Time having proven that it was genuine, abundant and substantial, now he jumps at any opportunity to try to convince himself that it is vanishing. One of these claquers grasps an opportunity as follows: "The Dingley tariff bill is still in force and the Republican party in power, but the wages of the employes in the cotton mills at Fall River, Mass., have been reduced 10 per cent." This, to his mind, settles the whole matter, and because of a reduction in wages at Fall Ricer the whole Republican claim of prosperous times vanishes, and, because wages are not ever on the increase, the whole thing is a delusion and a snare. If this party had been disposed to be honest he would have cited the reasons for the 10 per cent. reduction, as stated in news dispatches; which is because of so many mills now in the south, where, because of cheaper power and less freight rates they are able to produce at a less figure. The New England manufacturer is simply handicapped in his location, and either must reduce wages, suspend operations or move south. Again, another Democratic exchange felicitates itself with the following: "The very fact that there is more money in the country today than for a long time clearly demonstrates the Democratic platform of 1986 and 1900, that prosperity and plenty of money were one and the same (needful terms that "money made prosperity.") The Democratic idea was correct, as it did not care what kind of money, so long as it was money and more of it." On the contrary, it proves that the Republican claim that there was a plenty of money, only it was hoarded away, is correct; for as soon as conditions changed and an administration came to power in which the people trusted, the money was forthcoming. Plenty of money for business and plenty of business for money. The above quoted statement is not only perverted, but it gives the lie to the chief claim of Popocracy, and that was that there could not be sufficient money to do business with without the free coinage of silver. The facts are that the keeping of the silver dollar, as coined, of an equal purchasing value with a gold dollar, is the secret of the whole thing, causing the largest possible use of both metals and all paper based thereon. In this connection the following from the Colfax Gazette, in reply to the Commoner, to one of its senseless queries, is in point. It says: "The Democratic organ asks that "The Gazette kindly explain why, if the Wilson tariff bill was responsible for the closing of the factories of the United States in 1894, it did not keep the factories of England open." If we reason upon purely Democratic grounds, as our neighbor should have done, the answer is plain. The Wilson tariff was made to admit foreign goods in competition with American goods. In the reckoning they failed to figure that American labor could no more buy from English labor, unless they had the employment to furnish the income, than they could afford to eat three square meals a day while remaining in idleness. When the Democrats of this country have furnished a satisfactory explanation of the "free soup houses" they will be in a position to ask questions upon the reason why England could not keep her factories open when there was no market for her products." --- An exchange has a heading: "Sobriety becoming respectable in the business world." It has been respectable for a number of years. It is now becoming compulsory.—Oakville Cruiser. A good shot, sure. WISE AND OTHERWISE. Another "cause for alarm" is afforded the Democrat press by the disintegration of certain trusts and the danger that seems impending over the whole trust situation. A few years ago they were sure the county was going to the demnition bow-wows, because of the trusts. Now they feel the same alarm because it is the trusts that seem to be going that way. A queer lot: blows it hot, they are cold; blows it cold, they are hot. Whether coming or a going, they croak the same. After nearly two weeks of a vacation, the street car employees of Chicago have agreed to return to work, having gained nothing but added contempt for present methods of organized labor, and sustained a loss of two weeks' wages, and, possibly, a degree of self-respect. The terms of settlement are said to be a complete victory for the company, so far as original demands by the men was concerned. Possibly it is that the eternal fitness of things may be maintained, is why Lieut. Haines, of the revenue cutter Manning, refuses to fulfill his promise to Marry Mrs. Fohs. It is an old xzx which says, "None but the brave deserve the fair.' It is said the rejected widow is fair, and it is barely possible he is conscious of an inability to come up to the standard. Nevada foot ball players have scored two defeats on Puget Sound: U. of W. 2 to 0, and U. P. S., Tacoma, 10 to 0. Evidently low altitude and rainy weather does not agree with the mountaineers. Although the foot ball season is said to be over, the U. of W. should not ignore the challenge of the U. P. S. team for a tustle. As it stands, there are some grounds for the latter's claim to the championship; unless, as is claimed by the U. of W. boys, some of the Tacoma fellows are professionals. There should be a law in every state of this Union to visit the death penalty on every professional criminal who depends upon his vocation for sustenance. This would stop the holdup artist and the rogue who taboos work for a life of thievery for a living. All such fellows forfeit their existence and the honest toilers owe it to themselves to make laws to kill the drones just as it is done by the working bees in a hive.—Washington Independent. McClellan, mayor-elect, was cheered when he entered the capitol. He should have explained that none of the glory belonged to him, and that any old thing that Tammany might have put up would have been elected just the same.—Tacoma Ledger. History is making fast these days. Not only has a new nation been born during the past few days, on the Isthmus of Panama, as a protest of its citizens against the dog-in-the-manger policy of the Colombian government, in rejecting the canal treaty, but, that new nation has become a tangible entity by proper recognition, and a powerful factor in the onward progress of the times. A treaty providing for the construction of a canal, on more favorable conditions than the one negotiated with Colombia, has been framed, agreed upon and signed by Secretary of State Hay, for this government, and the accredited representative of the new republic of Panama. Now we may hope to see a canal as soon as it is possible to build it. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- The only real and Christian way of purity is to live in the open world and not be of it, and keep the soul unspotted from it. There are no fires that will melt out our drossy and corrupt particles like God's refining fires of duty and trial, living, as He sends us to live, in the open field of the world's sins and sorrows, its plausibilities and lies, its persecutions, animoities and fears, its eager delight and bitter wants.—Horace Bushnell. Another of the original settlers of the townsite of Seattle passed away last Wednesday in the death of Hon. D. T. Denny. He and his distinguished brother, Hon. Arthur A. Denny, who is styled the father of Seattle, accompanied by Boren and Bell, were the first white men to set foot on the present townsite of Seattle. D. T. Denny was for many years the foremost business man in Seattle and saw it rise from a hamlet to a great and thriving municipality. Few public enterprises were begun before and after the great Seattle fire in this city that D. T. Denny was not in the undertaking. Let the present generation rejoice and be glad that such men as the Dennies were the first to pitch their tents in Seattle and that they loved and cherished their fondling during their long and useful career as citizens thereof. ```markdown ```
