Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. X. NO. 28 . POLITICAL POT-PIE "I am thoroughly convinced," said a prominent Republican from Eastern Washington one day this week, "that no man nominated for governor on the Republican ticket by defeating Governor McBride in the next convention will be able to carry a single county in that section of the state at the polls at the next general election. Eastern Washington is almost unanimous for a railroad commission, and while they have no inclinations to do the hero-worship act to the governor yet they are enthusiastically for McBride simply because he has made some effort along that line, and no one else has. Eastern Washington has no candidate for governor hailing from that immediate section, but, as said above, a practically united delegation from every county of Eastern Washington will come to the next state convention for Henry McBride. "Since traveling up and down the Sound," he continued, "I am thoroughly convinced, however, that the governor will not be nominated and for no other reason than because he will not get votes enough, Eastern Washington's unanimity for him to the contrary notwithstanding. Such being patent to my mind, it does seem to me the Republican party is up against a hard proposition, for, if Senator Turner or any other prominent Democrat is nominated and can command the strength of his party which such a Democrat would get from the bolting Republicans in Eastern Washington, I am fearful lest the misfortune that befell the party in 1900 would visit it again next year. The nomination of a strong pro-railroad man for governor would mean that even in Western Washington many Republicans would vote for the Demoeratic nominee for governor. *** No, the senatorial embroglio does not enter the fight one way or the other. The farmers are not one-half as much concerned whether Wilson, Foster or Piles wins out in the United States senatorial scrap, or neither, as they are whether a pro or an anti-roalroad man is nominated and elected for governor. In their opinions there is eminent need of railroad regulations in the state and they know that it matters not who is elected senator it will have no bearing on that nor will it help them to get what they want and need, but they do know, if they can only get the right kind of a man in the governor's chair, some kind of railroad legislation sooner or later will be enacted. No, there is neither senatorial nor congressional nominee talk in any county Eastern Washington, but the woods are full of men are anti-railroad governor wild. *** begins to look as if Milo A. Root will be pushed to "business men" for the nomination of mayor. He has been approached on the subject and it is believed that he is in a receptive state. His law partners it is said, are quite willing for him to make the race and still more willing for him to win. While this is not official, the Pie-maker believes he is far from exaggerating. Mr. Root stands very high among the business men, and, if he decides to make an active fight for the nomination he will make it exceedingly interesting for any and all opponents. It will be remembered that it was the "business men" that decided upon Milo A. Root as an assistant for Prosecuting Attorney Scott, and he was acceptable to Mr. Scott and would have been appointed had not Mr. Root demanded a salary of $5,000 per year, which was out of Mr. Scott's power to give, hence he, Scott, had to take a cheaper man. Mr. Root is conservative, but if ever elected would do his duty without fear whether it brought him a re-nomination or not. His nomination is being strongly urged, and it seems all persons concerned are willing. *** This talk about holding only one state convention next year is all foolishness, said a well known business man who takes a lively interest in politics, one day this week in reply to a question from the Pie-maker, asking for an opinion. For my part, he continued, I see no good reason for it, but several reasons why the two conventions should not be held at once. In the first place the national convention will be held June 21, which will necessitate holding the state convention for the election of delegates thereto early in that month, which is two months or more too early for the state nominating convention. The state nominating convention in 1904 will be a busy one, many and SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1903 GREATER SEATTLE EDITION The Greater Seattle edition of this paper will be on the market next Wednesday.

To decide on only one convention will "stir up the animals" into greater activity at once, that they may be ready for every advantage; then for five months after the convention the campaign activities will be on, which will give us nearly a year of almost fever heat in state politics. It is bad enough as it is, but, to say nothing about the strain upon the purses and nervous systems of the candidates themselves, it is too great a burden to place upon a long suffering public. The argument of economy by having only one convention is not worthy of consideration. There are always more men desiring to go to state conventions than there are opportunities, two conventions would spread out the honors and let a larger number feel they are serving their country. Some can go to the first and others to the second. My tum tum is that the latter part of August is soon enough for the nominating convention, said Mr. Business man, as he excused himself and hurried away to meet an engagement. *** REPUBLICANISM DID IT. "The enemies of the party of progressive Republican principles are busy these days endeavoring to inflame the working classes against the administration. In 1860 the Republican party found labor in the North wandering in rags upon the streets, and in the South receiving its wages in lashings upon the naked back and in chains. It has lifted all labor to prosperity and independence and increased wages until today the American wage-earner knows no peer among the industrial classes of the world. The party which is now the Republican party's accuser took bread from the mouth of sturdy Americans in 1894 and forced them to roam the country in bands, in rags and starving. That condition is only relieved when the firm hand of Republicanism again took the reins of government in 1897 and restored business to a firm basis." —Pioneer Press. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS John E. Humphries has given out an interview to the different papers, in which he states, should he be elected governor, he will not veto any bills passed by the legislature in favor of the indigent soldiers, sailors and militiamen. He states he is in favor of the indigent soldier being allowed to take with him to the Soldiers' Home his wife, to care for him in his last years. He claims that the Home should be large enough, so that it will be a credit to the state, and will maintain the indigent soldiers and their wives comfortably. The state should furnish mile cows, hogs, sheep and poultry to stock up the Home; that it should be under the control and superintendency of old soldiers. Enough land should be occupied as a farm, so that provisions, meats and the necessaries of subsistence could be raised upon the farm. The indigent soldier and his wife, who are able to perform services, should be permitted to assist the management in keeping up the Home and raising produce for the support of the inmates. He says, in the language of Abraham Lincoln, "Let us care for him who shall have borne the battle." Let us also care for the wives of him who shall have borne the battle. Mr. Humphries also in his interview states that he is in favor of a pension for the firemen and policemen, who have served for twenty years, or who have been wounded or crippled during service, and he is also in favor of paying the widows and minor children of the deceased firemen and policemen, after ten years' service, a sum not less than $1,000.00. He claims that the law should authorize cities to provide for the pensioning of firemen and policemen in this state, in the same manner as the states of New York, Illinois and California provide for the pensioning of policemen and firemen, and for the widows and orphans' fund of policemen and firemen. He would pattern our system after the system of the states named. He says, a fund should be provided by the cities under proper statutes, to pay the policemen's pensions and the firemen's pensions, and also to pay the amount allowed to the widow and minor children of the deceased policemen and firemen. The policemen and firemen devote their lives to the protection of our lives and property, and we should see that they are properly cared for when too old to continue in the service, and their families are protected in case of their death while in the line of duty. The state can not afford to be niggardly toward those who have staked their lives in the service of their country for the preservation of the union, and the cities can not afford to be parsimonious with policemen and firemen and their families, where the policemen and firemen have risked their lives and health in the preservation of our lives and property. C. J. LORD FOR GOVERNOR. While no formal announcement of his candidacy has been made, it is nevertheless well understood not only in Thurston county but throughout the state, that Mr. C. J. Lord of this city is a candidate for governor. That he will have the cordial and earnest support of Thurston county needs hardly the necessity of announcement. Thurston county is always loyal to her home candidates. While she has sometimes failed at the state convention, she has also been successful. The time is about ripe for another victory. The conditions are most favorable for the realization of the gubernatorial ambition for Thurston county, at the next state convention. Mr. Lord is of course best known in this county, but he is not without a wide acquaintanceship in all parts of Washington. He is recognized as one of the foremost business men of the state. As mayor of this city two terms he has displayed exceptional executive ability. He will make an ideal governor. He is identified with no political faction in this state. In fact politics is not his business and he is tied to no interest, nor has he any special gubernatorial hobby. He would go into the executive office free to give the state such a vigorous business administration as it has never yet had. Throughout the state Mr. Lord's candidacy is already popular and between this time and the meeting of the convention that popularity will increase.—Olympian. The Hearst American, of New York, is simulating a high degree of cheap dudgeon over President Roosevelt's alleged "act of piracy" in indicting an insurrection in Panama and then despotically recognizing the Panama confederacy. If Hearst should once give utterance to a truth or a sincere thought it would make him sick. He is the wildest demagogue out of Bedlam. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Established May 1894 H. R. Cayton .....

If the true number is only one half that the conclusion of the National Republican Central Committee to have the 1904 convention in Chicago was wise. There seems no sufficient reason why St. Louis should be killed with kindness. foolishness that does not speak well for the business sense of the heads of the organization. The thing is so far fetched that the average brain gets dizzy in trying to locate a relationship between Rainier beer and the force of waiters that are to serve the guests at the new Hotel Butler some time hence. As the Secretary of the Treasury has recommended that the headquarters for the Puget Sound customs district be removed from Port Townsend, the efforts of Congressman Humphrey to secure its location in Seattle is certainly along the line of his duty, and it is to be hoped he will be successful. For the convenience of all, such matters should be centralized, and as Seattle is the commercial center of the whole district it surely should come here. For the past eight years the "Chicago platform" has been the gospel of the Democratic party. On June 21, 1004, there will be another platform promulgated at Chicago. It will have a very different sound from the other, and will announce a code of principles very unlike that which railroaded W. J. Bryan to defeat. It is enough to say it will be a Republican platform, for that is the time and place selected for the next National Republican convention. As all things comes to those who wait, ye maiden ladies are beginning to look pleased and sweet. They have had to wait eight long, cruel years for a leap year and a chance to "go afishing;" but its coming; a few more days and a long delayed leap year will be ripe, and they will have their chance. The heart sickness because of hope deferred will be banished and as anticipation always brings more joy than realization, their chances for joy are good. The Democratic press is trying very hard to make itself and the public believe that Senator Hanna is to be a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, in spite of his assurances that he will not. For some reason Democrats seem to prefer him as a candidate to Roosevelt. Of course their object is plain. First, they think there might be a possibility of defeating him, and next they hope to divide the party between the two, as rival candidates, and thus weaken it. Hanna would make a good president, no doubt, but Roosevelt is the man. The Reed Smoot case has reached an interesting stage. While the committee on privileges and elections can give but little recognition of superficial statements and petitions to eject him from the Senate because he is a Morman, yet when specific charges are made declaring that he is a law breaker or that he connives at, or upholds a practice in violation of the law of the land, or that the Morman church, of which he is a leading member, claims first allegiance of its members, then they must deeds give heed. Such charges have been filed by what are said to be responsible parties. It is therefore the duty of the Senate to investigate, and it will be better to make it thorough and settle for all time the status of the Morman people, politically, in this nation. If the Western Central Labor Union would place an effective boycott on all beer, as well as that made by the Seattle Brewing and Malting Co., they would be doing a noble work for humanity, as the temporance element look upon the situation; but the action of the organization in declaring a boycott on a union made article, simply because a stockholder in the company, manufacturing said article, refuses to interfere in another man's business, and try to force or influence him to agree, that sometime in the future, when he shall be in need of help, that he will employ none but the union brand, is an exhibition of childish foolishness that does not speak well for the business sense of the heads of the organization. The thing is so far fetched that the average brain gets dizzy in trying to locate a relationship between Rainier beer and the force of waiters that are to serve the guests at the new Hotel Butler some time hence. A colored preacher of this city has made the discovery that Christ was a Negro, and that when he comes again "to judge the quick and the dead," it will be as a Negro. In the absence of anything in the Bible, as the ordinary person reads it, upon which to prove whether he were black or white, the brother will have a hard time to convince the world, black as well as white, that he has reliable inside information. After all, what difference does it make. To all who will accept Him, He is their Saviour, their redeemer from the sins of the flesh and the world. As there are different races, he was only of one, and all other people must accept Him as of a different tribe. What matters his color or tribe anyway; it is His teachings that are important. If the good brother will succeed in inducing one soul only to turn from a life of sin to one of righteousness, as taught by the Christ, he will have accomplished more for the world than though he proved to the satisfaction of all the inhabitants thereof that He, Christ, was a black man. This county is very much in need of missionaries for home work. There are hundreds of women willing to do foreign, or away from home, work mission or otherwise, and mostly otherwise; but what the husbands and children in the homes want and need is more women willing to be real home missionaries; to be angels of mercy in the home nest. With the mothers of the land consecrated to home mission work, the tremendous crop of hoodium boys and girls that are a disgrace to our boasted civilization, would soon be reduced. Is that cost too great? We trow not. Although it would mean fewer, or no club meetings, fewer card, gossip or theater parties, for a time; but after all what are these hundred and one frivolous, foolish, useless and often vicious things that so many mothers are running after, and spending their time with, while their children are growing into worthlessness and viciousness. After all what is more enduring than the satisfaction of duty well done and a consciousness of directing ones offspring into noble, honorable, manhood and womanhood. Sentiment is a good thing. Right sentiment displayed at the right time and in a right manner is capable of accomplishing much good, but sentiment run riot is as useless, as much out of place and as much undeserving of public endorsement as men run riot. Men run riot is about as undesirable a condition as organized society has to contend with; but women run riot, causes a condition wholly intolerable. Possibly those Chicago women who boarded a street car the other day and refused to pay their fare to a non-union conductor would resent the impeachment of being rioters, but what else were they? Not only rioters, but worse than that. They were getting something (their ride) for nothing; by refusing to pay simply because they did not like the independent spirit of the men in charge of the car, or more properly, being in sympathy with those who had surrendered their jobs. They had their remedy; they were not forced to ride; walking is good in Chicago. The public has its own opinion of those who refuse to pay for what they get. Organized labor does some foolish things, but it is time for it to seek to be released from its fool friends.

She is not sent away, but only sent before; like unto a star, which, going out of our sight, doth not die and vanish, but shineth in another hemisphere; ye see her not, yet she doth shine in another country.—Samuel Rutherford. Look backward! From thy lofty height survey Thy years of toil, of peaceful victories won, Of dreams made real, largest hopes outrun! Look forward! Brighter than earth's morning ray Streams the pure light of heaven's unsetting sun! —Lowell. "He is with me, though I cannot see Him: He knows my trouble, Though I cannot speak to Him face to face He is trying me; and because it is He, I shall not be consumed, But shall come forth as gold." To hear always, to think always, to learn always, it is thus that we live truly. He who aspires to nothing, who learns nothing, is not worthy of living.—Helps. I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an "honest man."—George Washington. Look for beauty in commonest things and in commonest persons; it belongs only to those who find it and has value beyond that of gold. This search will not interfere with duty, but may soften its asperities, for a beautiful life is the choicest blossom of a dutiful one.—Annie H. Ryder. Watch against all fretful and discontented thoughts, which do but chafe and wound the mind to no purpose. To harbor these is to do yourself more injury than it is in the power of your greatest enemy to do you.—Mason. The men whom I have seen succeed best in life have always been cheerful and hopeful men, who went about their business with a smile on their faces, and took the changes and chances of their mortal life like men, facing rough and smooth alike as it came, and so found the truth of the old proverb, that "good times and bad times and all times pass over."—Charles Kingsley. The Thankful Heart.—If one should give me a dish of sand, and tell me there were particles of iron in it, I might look for them with my eyes, and search for them with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to detect them; it, and how it would draw to the most invisible particles by power of attraction! The heart, like my finger in the covers no mercies; but let soul heart sweep through the magnet finds the iron, so in every hour some heavessings; only, the iron in God's is gold.—Oliver Wendell "The man who brings up his boys to be honorable men does more for society than he who secures a law and order plank in a platform. And the woman who rears her girls in maidenly honesty advances the cause of morality far more than she who leads a woman's club pell mell against some notorious political offense or offender. It is a striking and suggestive fact that the sensational wickedness of the day is largely perpetrated by young men and women from so-called respectable homes. It is a nundeniable symptom of our time that the duty of home training is being neglected for the more spectacular functions of social and semi-public life."—Oregonian.

An Italian botanist ,attached to the Botannical Gardens at Palermo, has been investigating the uses of nicotine—not to the human consumer, but to the plant itself that produces the alkaloid. According to this authority those who have regarded nicotine and similar substances as waste products of the plant are at fault, since it is a true food ,having for its object the nourishment of the growing tobacco. Its effect upon the animal organism, however, is certainly not that of a nutrient. A comparison of the curves representing the intensity and direction of the wind and the frequency of sunspots for the last sixty years shows, according to a recent report, that there are always fewer north winds at a period of sunspot maximum. This may be related to an alteration of temperature due to solar disturbance; but the whole subject is yet very vague, as may be seen from the fact that authorities who agree that sunspots should affect terrestrial temperature in some way are not yet agreed whether they raise or lower it. To such persons as cannot drink hot coffee on pain of disturbance of the digestion, coffee jelly is recommended by "The Lancet," the well-known English medical authority. Gelatine, it says, is cooling, soothing, thirst-assuaging and anti-acid. It also has the property of preventing the destruction in the body of proteids, such as albumen. Moreover, the astringent principles of the coffee are nullified by the gelatine, which is thus in many ways an excellent vehicle for the stimulant. Excessive coffee-drinking, the writer adds, is, of course, an evil, but in moderation coffee is to be preferred to alcohol in that it diminishes organic waste and rouses energy without subsequent collapse. It has been laid down as a physiological rule that the requirements of adult diet depend not on the weight of the eater but on the extent of his bodily surface. In the case of children this rule is further modified. An infant may weight one-eighteenth as much as a grown man, but its surface is more than one-seventh as great. As the first requirement of the infant's food is to replace the heat that is continually being lost by radiation from all parts of the body, the latter fraction determines the needed proportion of nourishment rather than the former. But in the case of a growing child food is also needed to supply the increase of bodily weight. In all, an infant's ration may be five times as much as would be estimated from its actual weight alone. The manufacture of Portland cement from blast-furnace slag bids fair to become a valuable industry. Such use has been made of slag in Germany and Belgium for several years, and it is now to be introduced into France, Austria and England. In the manufacture, the gas from the blast furnace is made to run the motors in the cement works, the waste coke is utilized in the cement kiln, and the slag and limestone that are the chief raw materials of the industry are close at hand. While in slag cement only 20 per cent. of the raw material is wasted, this waste in natural cement amounts to twice as much. Slag cement is also said to be more trustworthy, because the slag is a product whose chemical composition may be exactly controlled, which is, of course, not the case with the natural material. Which is the cheaper fuel, oil or coal? The answer to this question concludes a recent investigator, depends on locality. In New York city, for instance, anthracite "buckwheat" coal may be bought for $2.85 a ton in the coal pockets, while oil is $3½ cents a gallon. In California or the Gulf states, on the other hand, inferior coal is $5.25 a ton, and oil may be had at 55 cents a barrel. He figures out from this that in New York oil is 69 per cent. more expensive than coal as a fuel, while in California it may effect a saving of 72 per cent. These are the limits; in other localities the saving or increase, as the case may be, may be anywhere between these extremes. Tested—Cora—Are you sure you will be able to support me, dear?

The Freshmen have been very “fresh” in their actions towards the Sophomores. Whatever the provocation may have been, binding fellow students hand and foot and throwing them into the lake is nothing less than criminal. Even the throwing of them in, unfettered, is wholly inexcusable and unmanly, but such acts as have been reported should not be overlooked ,and the faculty owe it to the state and their own reputation that the offenders be properly dealt with, If they refuse or neglect to act it is the duty of the courts to move in the matter. Fun 4s all right, but the State University 1s supposed to be maintained for the de- velopment of the rising generation, morally as well as intellectually .Such actions will militate against the in- stitution. Judge Cann’s justice court has been the center of a farce comedy during the week, that in effect has been a tragedy—if the daily police bulletins are to be relied upon—which reflect no credit upon the court or the attorneys connected with the Cooper-Meister case; and is a positive disgrace to the dignity of the state of Washington. There is something mortally wrong, or, to use a more expressive and mod- ern term ,something rotten, some- where. Greek met Greek on Tuesday even- ing at the business men’s banquet, when a newspaper man, Samuel West: on, responded to the toast, “A News: paper Man’s Ideal of a Modern Bust- ness Man,” and a business man, James ‘A, Adair, to “A Business Man’s Idea of a Modern Newspaper.” As it takes a modern business man to run a mod- ern newspapes, and a modern busi- ness cannot expect to succeed with- out the assistance of a modern news- paper, there is a good deal in com- mon between the two, and any criti- cism that might be made was nec- essarily of the most friendly nature. friendly nature. ‘fhere is much activity among the various improvement clubs of the city, and many varied and substantial im- provements are under contemplation. If one-half of it materializes there will be an abundance of work for many months to come, and in due time the title “City Beautiful” will fit as ap- propriately as the “Queen City” and the various other cognomens by which the city is familiarly known. A pleasing sequel to the Dr. Dow- ney episode, so far as the victim, Miss Cady, is concerned, is the fact that the man back of and responsible for S. & H’s. TOY SHOP > Is Seattle’s Best Store . .

AND UNION ‘all the trouble had the right metal in him, notwithstanding his meanness, and to save the girl from further dis- grace and right the wrong, so far as possible, came forward and made her his wife, But that does not relieve the doctor, who seems to be up against the real thing. | ‘That this country is running labor union mad is becoming more and more ‘apparent every day, and unless union- ‘ism is given a decided setback at once, if not sooner, the United States will | have to confront a union conflict that ‘will give the widely discussed “race probiem” of this country cards and spades, and then be a hundred paces ahead, Anarchistic inclinations among unions in Seattle have on several oc- casions within the year now closing been repeatedly cropping out. The public has not quite forgotten the damnable strike on the part of the street car men, who were without cause or grievance, yea, who even re- ceived better wages than street car men received in any other city in the United States if not the world, and thereby discommoded 150,000 cit- izens out of sympathy for strikers in a neighboring town, Now the attempt of the unions to force the Seattle Brewing & Malting Company into bankruptcy because some union walking “boss” has a complaint against the Butler hotel property, be- cause the owner of the building has some stock in the brewing company is not only blackmail, but actual high- way robbery, un-American and in fact actually criminal, If public officials would proceed against such law breakers with the strong arm of the law such criminal practices would soon be broken up, root and branch. If a hundredth part of what one hears about town is true Dr, Downey, granting that he is guilty of all he now stands charged with, in Miss Cady’s case, has done no more along that line than is common in the medical cir- cles of Seattle. The only difference between Dr, Downey and the other fel- low is the former went about in a bungling way, not taking the proper precautions to himself to see to it that the fetus was cremated and there- by leave no trace of his professional skill, while the latter has been careful to either themselves watch over their patients or put them under the care of some one who knows her business and will look after “doc’s” interests, if she get hers. The practice of re- lieving unwilling mothers of their growing burdens, if only the price $s forthcoming and large enough ,is a duty, if reports be true, no woman need do no great amount of searching in order to find a “medicine man” who will perform the act. They not only relieve young girls who try to cover up their disgrace, but they willingly relieve married women, and thereby become a particeps criminis to the racial suicide mania of the country. The physician who will commit such an act, unless it be to save a mother’s life or avoid her continued illness, {s no less a criminal than the physician who will administer slow poison to a wife at the suggestion of her husband, in order that he can get a new wife without a divorce scandal. Dr. Dow- ney is not alone—there are others. ‘The law has its queer phases, and many intricate sides, to the average layman, and as “open confession is good for the soul,” we frankly con- fess that the Scott-Callahan-Behen- McGovern gambling complication that has been holding the boards at Judge Bell's court for the past few days is altogether too many for us. If we should attempt to sum up the situa- tion, disregarding the testimony, we imagine we could get nearer the facts than if we tried to use said evidence, but in this case discretion is the bet- ter part of wisdom. At last the deed is done, and as is so often the case, the wisdom (?) of the final court is evidenced by the lack of good judgment, and the choosing of the most undesirable location offered. Why purchasing boards so often find it necessary (?) to make the worst possible selections, when called upon to choose sites for public buildings is one of the unfathomable mysteries of official life. The public has always felt aggrieved at the action of the board of county commissioners who placed our Temple of Justice on the almost inaccessible pinnacle of “Profanity Hill,” and in like manner will the pres- ent board be upbraided and con- demned, we fear, for many years to come, for locating the new armory and public auditorfum on the ragged edge of the bluff overhanging the bay, near the mouth of the Great Northern tun- nek Just why they considered this ‘the most desirable tract does not ap: pear, but the unwisdom of their choice i very apparent. Our neighboring unincorporated community to the south, known as Georgetown, are sadly in need of a hospital, judging from the tone of The News, that claims that village as its home. About all the news it con tained in its last issue, aside from its name, was accounts of tumble downs, sprained limbs and bruised bodies, all owing to poor, worn out and disjoint ed sidewalks, and the burden of its cry }is to incorporate. Whether it is with a hope that new sidewalks will follow ‘or that there may be a municipal gov: ernment to sue for said sprains and /bruises, does not appear. | UNFAMILIAR FACTS, CRED AecaNAR FateWnD ccaireg ia peme | papers is 8,000,000,000 copies a year. | French is the language of more than | 1,000,000 of the 3,500,000 Canadians.

TELEPHONES: SUNSET, MAIN 949 : : : : : INDEPENDENT 949 Trade Union Bigotry. Human nature is harder to change than social forms are, A born bigat does not become a liberal because he forswears the creed of his fathers, and sets up as an apostle of the latest philosophical quackery. The man or woman who grovels in superstition does not become a fearless raticnal- ist by swapping “isms.” ‘The heresy- hunter does not become less strenu- ous when he exchanges Presbyterian. ism or Old-Two-Seed-in-the-Spirit Bap- tismalism for Trade Unionism. No one can watch the recent develop: ments of trade unionism, with all its unquestioned value and importance, and not be impressed by the rapidity with which it is tending to become a dogmatic religion, surcharged with bigotry, fanaticism and superstition. The unions have erected Sunday into a Sabbath of the faithful, The union itself has become a church, to vhich on every seventh day the faithful re- pair, The unbeliever is no longer merely a “scab,” he is a sinner, living under wrath, The individual mem- ber who goes out from among the in- dustrially redeemed is a lost being, who cannot be permitted to live in- conspicuously among his fellows, but must be followed with anathemas, and all the pains and penalties of the excommunicated, The danger to trade unionism from this tendency is seri: ous and deplorable. If any reader of these words thinks that we exagger- ate, we need only refer him to the resolutions adopted not long since by the Central Labor Union of the Dis: trict of Columbia in condemnation of President Roosevelt, on account of his action in standing by W. A. Miller, of the Government Printing Office bindery. These resolutions inform the world that Mr. Miller was tried and “found guilty of flagrant non- unionism.” This sin, of course, com- prehends every other, and put the committer thereof outside the pale of even the Constitution, which essays to grant to everyone a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS. Tears are the dew of the spirit. Hidden guilt is the most hurtful. Self-confidence reveals _ self-ignor- ance. God makes the gates of heaven and man cannot even measure them. He who spends his years chasing phantoms will find what he sought at the end of life. You have not fulfilled every duty, unless you have fulfilled that of being pleasant. There is one supreme light on the fire of life; it is the light of eternity. Let us be persuaded that nothing is due to us, and then nothing will dis turb us. ‘When the man is lost in the parson men will not be saved by the preach: ing. When there is love in the heart there are rainbows in the eyes which cover every black cloud with gorgeous hues. There is no joy like the joy of real virtue, and no music like the music of a good conscience, Beware of the man who cannot laugh. Hatred hurts most on the rebound. The possessor of piety never nv>ds to parade it. A good Christian may be rough on the outside, but he is never rotten at the core. ‘The church that is drawn by mules cannot draw men. Sin has no fascination where it has no foothold. More helpful than all wisdom 1s one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us. A hungry heart is the only payment God will take for the bread o? life. DISSOLUTION OF PARTNERSHIP. Seattle, Wash, Nov. 27, 1903.
