While the entire Republican ticket was not elected, yet it lost but three out of the fifteen. It was expected from the very first, owing to factional differences, that the First ward councilman nominee would be defeated, and it was likewise predicted that the Ninth ward nominee would go down. It was also predicted that the Sixth ward nominee would be defeated, but it did not prove true. The Seventh ward nominee, J. C. Parsons, was defeated by T. M. Daulton, which was the only surprise of the day. Judge Ballinger was cut in places that were not expected, which resulted in him running behind his ticket in every ward in the city. His plurality throughout the city was 1.198, which was about 400 and odd votes over Judge Humes' plurality two years ago. John Riplinger at the recent election proved himself to be equally as popular as he was two years ago, running ahead of his ticket in every ward and precinct in the city. His plurality was 4.682, which was something over a thousand more than he received two years ago. Corporation Counsel Gilliam held his own with a few votes to spare, and he perhaps showed the average Republican strength. His plurality was 3.887, which was some 500 more than he received two years ago. Notwithstanding the fact that Samuel F. Rathbun is one of the popular young men of the city, and was endorsed by the "Times," the Democratic LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS organ, yet he only received a plurality of 4,224 running some 400 and odd votes behind Mr. Ripplinger, and yet he received equally as many votes more than did Mr. Gilliam. David W. Bowen, councilman-at-large, easily won out by a plurality of 2,748 votes, while Charles H. Burnett, the popular young Ninth ward Republican, got a plurality of 3,244 votes, showing that each of those gentlemen stand well. In Conway defeating Holt in the First ward, it was no more than had been freely predicted by every one who had watched the political trend of affairs down there. The Clancys have ruled with a high hand, and when they dictated the nomination of Holt after Comstock had won a majority of the delegation, they simply invited defeat for their man—and he got it. Naught can be said against Theodore M. Daulton, the Democratic councilman elect, but it does seem that the Republican nominee was served a cowardly trick when he was knifed by the same men who nominated him. The Lewis men nominated Parsons, and it is currently reported that they deliberately knifed Parsons because he was nominated and because Parsons would not throw his strength to Griffiths. Then again Redward openly worked against him because he would not throw his strength to him. Between the two fires Parsons had little show of being elected and he lost the ward by 133 votes. Every precinct, save his own, giving a clear majority against him. The friends of Dr. J. E. Crichton were pleased to hear that the Eighth ward had stood by him and returned him by a plurality of 394, thus holding his full party vote. The fight in the Ninth ward was, to say the least, spectacular, and whirle it was generally believed that Murphy would win it was hardly thought that he would get two to one over Merwin. Captain Merwin seemed to be rather popular, and it was hoped by the Republicans of that ward that he would at least reduce Murhpy's majority, but instead he increased it, and Mr. Murphy won by a plurality of 626. Col. W. M. Ridpath's gubernatorial candidacy has been formally announced, and he himself makes the following brief statement as to his desire to be governor of the state: "Spokane, Wash., Feb. 3.—To the Republicans of the State of Washington: I will be a candidate for the nomination for the office of governor before the Republican state convention to be held in the city of Tacoma on the 11th day of May, 1904. If nominated, I pledge myself to obey the mandates of the party as expressed in the platform to be adopted by said convention. If elected I will use all honorable means at my command to carry into effect every declaration contained in said platform. W. M. RIDPATH." Spokane has one candidate for state honors in the person of William M. Shaw, who is desirous of the nomination of state treasurer at the hands of the Republican state convention. It would seem that Mr. Shaw has considerable backing in Spokane county, and to some extent has the machine of the party in his hands, or he left that impression with those who attended the state central committee in Seattle some two weeks ago. Speaking about his candidacy conflicting with that of Col. Ridpath's, it is alleged that he made the remark that: "There would be nothing to it save his complete endorsement by the county and that Col. Ridpath would not get a baker's dozen votes out of the entire delegation, if any at all. I will have the delegation for trading purposes, and thereby assure my nomination." Spokane county has other receptive candidates for state honors, subject to the will of the Republican nominating convention, but none have announced themselves save Col. Ridpath and Mr. Shaw, and whichever controls the county convention will probably be a factor in shaping the state ticket at the next nominating convention. JAMES M. CONWAY. J. S. JOHNSTON. HIRAM C.

A race war in Ohio and Massachusetts is after all something "new under the sun." Judge Ballinger tucker straight and lost but three men in doing it. Seattle is Republican by over 4,000 majority, as is shown by Riplinger's and Gilliam's votes. That some very dirty political doses were dished out last Tuesday either by you or the other fellow is plain to be seen. The question is, who did it? Mayor-elect Ballinger now knows that the saloon element was not the only one who voted against him last Tuesday. There were others, and they do not live in the famous First. Which one of you, who was a nominee on the Republican ticket, voted for a Democratic nominee? Not so many hands up at once, please, "one at a time gentleman, one at a time!" The Tacoma Republicans are headed for the bone yard unless they cease factional fighting, which, judging from a distance, seems utterly impossible. It looks now as if W. H. Lewis of the Seventh deceived Redward in the convention and defeated Parsons at the polls, and yet he expects to be elected to the legislature next November. Well, lets "remember the Maine". You can smoke this in your pipe; the friends of John L. Wilson stood pat at last Tuesday's election. Can the friends of Piles and Preston "cross their hearts, hold up their hands" and swear to God and say, "ours did so too?" No, Constant Reader, T. M. Daulton did not get a single Republican vote last Tuesday, but a number of boxers of casual Republican persuasions did, however, vote for him, which turned the tide of election in his favor. President Smith is easily the most spectacular man in Washington just now, yet we find there are others right in our midst, who seek to exemplify his mode of living, without having even so threadbare a cloak as the primitive Morman church to mask under. When Dr. Anita Newcombe McGee, president of the society of Spanish-America war nurses, gave an explanation of what is expected of army nurses and what they must be prepared to do, many were surprised at the extensive service their work embraces. The results of last Tuesday's election in this city clearly demonstrates that, a Republican nomination on the county ticket this year will be a splendid way to drop a handsome wad of your hard earnings, which you had laid away for a rainy day. Those Republican candidates who paid Democratic papers snug little sums to run their cuts, hoping thereby to get Democratic votes, in which they most signally failed, must have felt like "fools at a frolic", to see their party roasted to a "fareyou-well" finish in the same issue of the paper, and in the adjoining column in which his cut and "write up" appeared. It's about time the Republicans ceased from such foolishness. --- In all probability Mr. Shafroth, the representative from Colorado who voluntarily relinquished his seat in the lower house of congress would have finally been unseated. However, it took a broad-minded man to size up the situation and, whether designedly tactly or not, seize the opportune moment to turn the swiftly revolving tide of public opinion in his favor. Should the bill lintroduced by Congressman Jones become a law, which allots 80 acres for each Indian of the Colville reservation, it would not exactly be the proverbial "forty acres and a mule," but it would be forty acres and forty acres more with which Mr. Indian could buy his mule. The Colville reservation is the largest, perhaps, in the state that is now closed against settlement, and if it is thrown open for settlement within the next year the rush thereto to get homesteads will be the worst mix-up that has ever been seen in this country in order to get government land. The deadly prairie fires of Kansas and the Indian territory have been getting in their work again and as a result, it is estimated that over $200,000 worth of damage was done, and a number of lives lost. It does seem that some system could be inaugurated that would prevent those fatal prairie fires in that country. Kansas has suffered more from prairie fires than any other state in the Union, and that, too, despite the fact that she is fairly well settled up. In western Kansas, where ranging is still the chief occupation of the settlers, prairie fires cannot be prevented, but in the southern sections a little care exercised, it seems, would prevent the destruction of much property and sometimes lives. It is about to be a case of Jeffersonian simplicity versus cavalry escort, pomp, and gold lace in the city of Washington. The European ambassadors have drawn up a protocol defining the privileges to which they are entitled, and the ceremonies in connection with their presentation, etc. In short they do not think the tinkling cymbals are enough in evidence in proclaiming their honor. It seems the president ordering a cavalry escort to meet Secretary Taft on his arrival at Washington, and the same honor being paid Secretary Root when he left the national city, was the shingle which set this simmering pot of discontent a-boiling. When hostesses are called upon to show lists of their invited guests, so that some of the mighties can see, should they attend it, they will be outranked; when blacks eyes are made over a chair one or two places removed from the head of the table, and finally when a protocol is drawn up by the foreign ambassadors defining the honors due them, the object for which those men are gathered together in Washington seems not unlike a substance hidden, while men who in a way still possess their childhood's proclivities eagerly chase after the shadows. In this busy work-a-day world, where things are gradually revolutionizing themselves, and problems assuring such disguises as to be hardly recognizable on the surface, there is little wonder that the question of education—whether it shall tend most towards "idealism" or "materialism," has been brought forcibly before the public. The three distinguished professors, who recently resigned from Columbia University, represent in their views the one side and President Butler, typical business man of to-day represents in the course he advocates, the other. According to one's inclinations either is right, and yet despite personal inclinations neither can be declared absolutely wrong. Doubtless there will have to be colleges of both kinds, leaving it optional with the student which he attends. There are few of us but who know what it is to have in a drawing room a man at the head of his profession, yet who has not love of the beautiful in his soul—no conception of the finer arts. "Who's coming?" asked a prominent lawyer of his friend, as having been seated at a banquet all the guests rose to their feet. The band was playing "America," and the lawyer who stood head and shoulders with his colleagues, when it came to his "profession," or "calling," had assimilated so much of the "material" education, that he lost some things to others most dear. However, success is the goal for some, knowledge the goal for others, and man is his own free moral agent. STATE PRESS The Colfax "Gazette," judging from the following excerpt, has been sorely perplexed for a name suitable for persons who do the dirty work of politicians, and pays the Anacortes "American" the following compliment for having supplied the long-felt want in the shape of a name for such persons: "Political pelicans' is the term which Frank H. Barnett, editor of the Anacortes "American" applies to those persons who do the dirty work for the real politicians. 'Political pelicans' is good. We have been hunting for many moons for a term that would properly describe the class mentioned and are under many obligations to Brother Barnett. Whitman county has quite a flock of the above mentioned birds. The voters will go a-gunning some day." It sometimes happens that the overzealous editor of some country newspaper expresses those things in his paper which he himself does not believe, and for an example, the Cle-Elum "Echo" predicts, "the population of Cle-Elum, which at present does not exceed 300, will be over 5,000 within the next few months." If it is 5,000 within the next five years it will have grown very very rapidly; in fact its growth will be phenominal, to say nothing of doing so within the next few months. The Saturday "Record" uses the following terse but pointed language concerning the political situation in Walla Walla: "There is going to be 'something doing' in politics in Walla Walla county this fall, if the present indications do not fail to materialize. The fight will be between the factions of the Republican party to settle forever, it is hoped, the old feud that has caused jars in the family for many a day." There are altogether too many factions among the Republicans in all of the counties of this state, and for no other reason than because the state is overwhelmingly Republican. If the Republicans would fight the Democrats and Populists instead of other Republicans, they would do what, from a political standpoint, would seem right and proper, and stand a fair show of continuing in power, but, on the other hand, if they continue to fight among themselves, soon the Democratic party will have sufficiently grown to make it strong enough to defeat the Republicans just as badly as the Republicans are now defeating them. Better settle your differences, and steer aloof from factional fights. Hon. S. G. Cosgrove, of Pomeroy, certainly has one loyal supporter, from a newspaper standpoint, in the Washington "Independent" of his city. It never loses an opportunity of advocating his nomination for governor, and still insists that he will be very much in the fight when the convention assembles. From a recent issue of that paper comes the following: "This paper has contended for months that Mr. Cosgrove has a better chance of being nominated for governor this year than he ever had before. If the many letters he is getting from the most influential men of the state, to be ready for the fight, could be seen, every hair on the heads of some of the politicians would stand out like quills of porcupines when an enemy approaches!" "We are waiting with mild curiosity to see the expression on the face of the Seattle Republican when it sits down to the dish of one-convention 'crow' so generously ladled out by the Republican state central committee."—Olympia "Capitol." Well, you have seen it and what do you think of it? The Seattle Republican believes it was right in advocating two conventions and does not "eat crow" because the central committee has decided on one instead of two conventions, but being a good Republican, it is prepared to "take its medicine" just the same as the other fellow. The "one convention idea" originated in the mind of a Democrat, and whether good or bad, the Seattle Republican did not feel inclined to support Democratic measures. Editor P. C. Kibbe, of the Centralia "Chronicle," is now a disciple of the direct primary law, which was introduced in the legislature two years ago by Reuben W. Jones, of King county, and uses the following language bearing on the subject: "A direct primary law will be strongly agitated at the next legislature. Such a law, if made to meet all the requirements of the times, would undoubtedly help much in making the wills of the people rule, but such a law should be drawn carefully, as one that did not meet the requirements would be a great injury." We surmise that if a law is introduced it will be fashioned and copied after those laws in Eastern states that are giving satisfaction, or that is what Mr. Jones intended when he first introduced the bill. The only Democratic paper in Douglas county, "The Press," which has been a pretty lively country weekly for a Democratic one, has lately undergone a change in ownership. Editor Spear will have to do a great deal of spearing if he keeps his columns as well filled with business as did Editor Trimble. There is still another factor to be heard from from Spokane county, and that is the McBride faction. It is said on very reliable authority, that there is imminent danger, so far as Ridpath and Shaw are concerned, of McBride carrying the county, and neither one of them controlling the delegation in their respective interests. Governor McBride is very strong in Spokane county, and, owing to the political scrapping between the candidates and would-be candidates for state offices, he stands a most excellent show of controlling the Spokane delegation, and while that would do him no great amount of good in the state convention so far as his own nomination is concerned, yet he would have that delegation as a trading commodity to nominate some friend of his for the office, which he himself would not be able to reach.

They had met at the hospital on a bright Spring morning, such as only dawns in a Southern clime, to hold a consultation over the strangest occurrence that had ever come under their observation. The case of a Mr. Vardonoman, who was a man of high political standing was the subject under consideration. The family physician had advised his entering the hospital to undergo an operation by no means dangerous. He had come from under the operation in splendid condition, was quite convalescent, when a most wonderful thing happened: his entire body became spotted, in appearance very much like one taken with black measles. The patient at first noticed his hands and arms, but being assured by the physician that likely he was having a slight attack of black mesles, ceased to worry about it. However, the blotches spread until they assumed an alarming proportion, hence this consultation. "Tis my opinion, said Dr. Dorchester," that the man is turning black, in fact, inside of three days I truly believe he will be as black as the blackest black man you ever saw." "Have you ever heard of a similar case?" asked one of the other doctors. "I believe there is one other on record," was the reply. "But," continued the doctor, "what complicates this, is that this man is one of the most color prejudiced men on earth; why, he hates what he calls a 'nigger' as one ought to hate sin.

The only alternative is to bandage your eyes for quite a length of time. Do you consent?" "Doctor, my case is in your hands, yet, how strange. I could have sworn that I saw black biotches all over my body," replied Vardonoman. So it was, after bathing the patient's eyes in clear water and putting a bit of cold cream on the lids, the doctor bound them up securely. A special nurse took charge of his room, and all were bound to secrecy. There was nothing to do but await further developments. The worst came. In one week's time Vardonoman was black from head to foot. What to do with him was more than the physicians knew. How long would it last? How would it all end? were the questions that confronted them. The patient bore the supposed affliction of his eyes calmly. He was on main points, a brave man. He talked freely with the physician who visited him, discussing politics eagerly, for he was politically ambitious. It was always a mystery, how the truth leaked out, but the report that a black man was under treatment in the hospital became general, and, as it was a Southern town, many of the patients who had before been unable to assist themselves, sat up in their cots and declared they would leave the hospital at once if the black man were not removed. Those patients who were unable to sit up in bed leaned on their elbows and groaned their acquiescence. Meanwhile the cause of the disturbance lay in his cot unconsciously as black as he once was white. All was confusion. Once again the attending physicians met in consultation. Firstly, Vardonoman's identity must be concealed; secondly, he must leave the hospital, and, hard as it seemed, must go where all other black men went—to the colored people's hospital. "Vardonoman, old man, we hate to disturb you, but this hospital has been condemned by the board of inspectors, and we shall have to move all of our patients to a temporary hospital. We'll take you the first thing in the morning," said Dr. Dorchester that night as he stood looking at the man be- D. B. SPELLMAN Practical Plumber and Gasfitter. Sanitary Plumbing a Specialty.

SECEDE ee ee ee ee that this patient would not be the innocent cause ot his making any more false statements. “It never rains but it pours,” laughed Vardonoman, and his white teeth looked the whiter from the contrast with the blackness of his skin. “Do you think the moving will affect my eyes in any way?” he asked. “Not in the least,” replied his physician, glad o¢ a chance for freely telling the truth for once. A new patient in the colored hospital created no unusual comment. “Slightly demented on the race questions, believes he is white, must not be talked to on the question of color,” were the instruction? given the nurses. Vardonoman little suspected where he was. There was no difference in the gen- eral atmosphere of the two hospitals. The nurses were polite and intelligent, the general manage- ment was all that could be required, and cleanli- ness and ventilation were at a premium. How- ever, during Vardonoman’s stay at this hospital, two incidents occurred which might have made him a broader man had he been able ito see, but. he was to all intents and purposes biind, hence never knew of the lessons which he might have learned. It was “children’s day” at the hospital. The school children had brought flowers and were distributing them for the most part to the sick children, but one little girl, as black as she was good, saw Vardonoman’s door ajar, and slipping in laid a sweet red rose in his palm. The politi- cian, the strong man, was without family ties; this isolation and the severe ordeal of sitting in dark- ness day atter day rendered him very appreciative of any token of kindness. “Thank you little girl,” he said, for after closing his fingers upon the flow- er he had extended his other hand, the child un- hesitatingly placed her’s therein. Tenderly Vardo- noman patted the hand of the little giver of the rose. The child skipped from the room to join her companions, while the man inhaled the perfume of the rose and thanked God that he had beautified the world with lovely flowers and had sent little children to scatter them in the wayside places. Another day, when Vardonoman’s purse was wheeling him down the corridor for his morning airing, a great teacher of the colored race, of world wide fame, known as Booker T, Wellington, was visiting the hospital. He paused to say a word to Vardonoman, humanity teels deeply for one whose eyesight is wanting. Vardonoman, as was his wont, plunged into political fields. As the conversation continued, “The Negro in politics” was spoken of. “I do not believe in niggers yot- ing, educated or uneducated,” declared Vardono- man. “I deu’t believe Booker T. Wellington has any more right to vote than has the copper- colored, cocoanut-headed pickaninny, who blacks my boots every morning!” Mr. Wellington was surprised beyond measure; instinctively he glanced at the nurse. She tapped her forehead significantly. Mr. Wellington nodded, and then said: “And you think every one has a right to his own convictions, at least?” “I do,” replied Vardonoman, vehemently. After wishing him a speedy recovery the re- nowned visitor passed on. At the end of two week's time Vardonoman’s skin again became spotted—white blotches cov- ered him as the black ones had done before. Three weeks and there was no trace of black to be seen on his person. Dr. Dorchester, who had been in constant attendance upon his patient, told him that the repairs had been completed upon the hospital and that he would be returned that day. After his return to the room wherein he was first taken after the operation for which he en- tered the hospital, the room was darkened and the patient’s bandages removed. “Why, I see well, Doctor,” he said with a good natured smile. “I knew you would,” truthfully replied the phy- sician. In a few days Vardonoman left the hospital and resumed his usual ayocation. In the course of time he was elected governor of his state, and HAITIV’S GENT ENNIAL. French-speaking Negroes ceieprated the one hun- dredth anniversary of independence in the Kepub- lic ot Haiti, ‘Chis repuolic boasts not ot ancient history, yet what has been written about it by the finger of ‘Lime is peculiar to itseif, and savors so much of the tragical as to render it unabie to be classed with the commonplace. The inhabitants have now, and always have had, a glowing respect tor treedom—are “liberty-lovers,” and that they have been free tor a century caused great rejoic- ipg. Yet the position occupied by the little repub- lic is a trying one, insomuch as they have upon them a most serious responsibiity; must undergo severe criticism, and run the gauntlet of spirited, as well as prejudiced discussion. Christopher Columbus discovered Haiti on the sixth day of December, 1492. In 1804, January 1st, the native army of Haiti made their heroic strug- gle which assured their triumph over the best soldiers of Napoleon 1. From 1804 to the present time the black republic has had nineteen rulers. 1804-06 Dessalines reigned two years. He was formerly,a slave. It was he who caused an article to be inserted in the constitution of the new state denying foreigners the right of property owners. He was assassinated at Fort Rouge in 1906. 1806-18 Petion governed the island and estab- lished it as a republic. This reign was marked with great progress; the national high school was created and lands were distributed to the soldiers who had taken part in the war. It was at this time that Simon Bolivar, who proclaimed the tree- dom of the states of Venezuela and Colombia, came to Haiti. Petion aided him with money, in appre- ciation of which these states have erected a stat- ue of that ruler. 1806-20 Christophe was made ruler in the north of the island. He proved to be very tyrannical, but did much toward civilizing the country. The commercial and mechanical education were advo- cated by him. He thought to thus equip the young Haitians was to render them independent of for- eign workmen. 1816-48 Pierre Boyer was ruler. He held his power the longest. Under his rule in 1825 Charles the Tenth of France recognized the independence of Haiti. San Dominga accepted the suzerainty of Haiti, from which it separated in 1844, 1843-4 Rivierre Herard had only a short term of government, 1844-45 Guezrier ruled, 1845-46 Pierrot ruled for eleven months only. 1846-47 Soulonque came into power. For two years he was president, then he caused himself to be proclaimed emperor. 1859-67 the empire was overturned by Fabre Geffrard, who was made ruler. He was a great organizer, and did much for the schools of the coun- try. During his government the Concordat was signed between Haiti and the Papal court at Rome. The condition of the army was materially im- proved, 1867-69 Salnaye reigned. War waged during his entire time. In 1869 he was assassinated. 1870-74 Nissage Saget ruled. He established a parliamentary regime which proved a veritable blessing. 1874-76 Michel Domingue was the ruling power. He possessed great power as a borrower. The country is yet paying interest on a debt he cen- tracted in Paris in 1875, the advantage from which has never been realized. 1876-79 Bosirond-Canal governed under control of the legislative body, which was rather severe. 1879-88 Salmon was twice elected president. Dur- ing his term of office the national bank, which has charge of the treasury service was erected; the national palace was constructed; the national high school was started; the national schoo] for girls was organized, for which professors were brought over from France; French instructors were also engaged for the army, and the country united by cable with the entire world. 1888-89 Legitime ruled during the civil war, which resulted in his fall, hence so far as the 1896-1902 Tiresias Sam was at the head of af- fairs. During his reign the growth of the country was for a time at a standstill, and then went back- wards, inasmuch as numerous debts were contract- ed. However, the first railroads were constructed under his government. It is to be remembered that Toussaint L’Ouverture was of this country a part and is honored with the title “The first of the blacks.” Dessalines is termed, “The father of his country.” There are other characters of whom the country is proud, among whom are La Mort, the hero of Vettieres, before whose bravery General Rochambeau caused the flag of France to be low- ered while the band played “The Marseillaise,” and Magny Lamereiniere, who made the famous re- treat of the Crete a’ Pierrot, the mosi brilliant military event of the nineteenth century. General Nord Alexis is the present actual head of the republic of Haiti. He found the national bank of Haiti badly financially embarrassed from the governntent of General Sam. General Nord’ Alexis, the veteran of the Haitien army, had the honor of presiding at the first centennial celebra- tion of the black republic. None can say what will have transpirel ere another century rolls over the liberty loving island. Japan is still sinking Russian ships so comes the report. If she continues much longer, the bottom of the sea will soon be full of them. San Domingo, like parts of the Philippines, would be a splendid acquisition for Uncle Sam if the inhabitants were all deported before taking. Russia gets awfully ‘cold. ‘trying to get to the Japanese, but she gets awzully hot very soon after she does get near them. In other words Russia now knows the Brownies is hot stuff. . Bulgaria wants to make war on Turkey. There are ten million loyal subjects of the United States in the same state of mind, King Solomon says he is a Hindoo, which may or may not be true, his “mama”, however, has already admitted in open court that he is a hoo- doo. In times of international peace The Hague Court is a modern master piece, but in times of territory grabbing its of little consequence. One reason why official corruption is unknown in Japan is because Christian civilization has not as yet been acknowledged by the natives. It, however, is coming.

Speaking about the career of Edison, it can be truly said to have been one of silent wonders. A few years ago hades had an overgow of Spanish immigrants and now Russian immigrants are flocking to her ports even worse than the Spaniards. Puget Sound gained $602,298 and San Francisco lost $350,259 in the Alaskan trade during six months of 1903. In the last six months of 1902 Portland, Seattle and Tacoma handled for shipment to the Orient, 843,787 barrels of flour. In the like period of 1908, 1,495,018 barrels, a gain of 651,231 barrels over 1902.

PERSONAL Mrs. Jessie Donaldson and her daughter, Miss Elizabeth, were visiting in Bremerton the most of the past week. Mrs. George Selby will entertain the Silverleaf Musical club Monday evening, March 14th, at her residence, 2608 East Valley street. Miss Ida M. Hayes, who has been visiting in the East for the past four months, is expected home within the next few days. The sacred concert being planned by the Silverleaf Musical club will be held at the Mt. Zion Baptist church, March 20th. The members of the Booker T. Washington society entertained last Wednesday evening, March 9th, in a most elaborate style, the occasion being the installing of the new officers of the society for the ensuing year. Mr. George W. Bryant, who has been employed in Anderson's barber shop for the past two years, leaves next Monday to accept a similar position in Vancouver, B. C. The shop in which he will work has recently been purchased by Rev. Taylor of this city. Mrs. George H. Grose entertained a number of her friends last Monday Iafternoon in honor of Mrs. Britain Oxendine of San Francisco, who is visiting with her. Light refreshments were served, and some thirty guests were present. With a view of organizing a K. P. lodge in this city a number of young men met in the office of Mr. Andrew A. Black last Friday evening for consultation. It is hoped that such a lodge will be organized in the near future. The Unique Social club held its regular meeting at the residence of Mr. J. T.

Rev. and Mrs. F. T. Walker were surprised last Thursday evening by the members and friends of the Mt. Zion Baptist church in the shape of a "storm party," led by Mrs. Payne. Many substantials, which preachers generally stand in need of, were presented by those attending. While Mr. W. C. Miller was quietly celebrating his birthday last Thursday all by his lonely, never dreaming that anyone else knew anything about it, some forty of his friends gathered at his home to help him do so. A very pleasant evening was spent by those present and Mr. Miller felt much younger than he did before they came. The deacons and deaconess' board of the Baptist convention of this state will meet at the Mt. Zion Baptist church next Friday and the executive board meets Saturday. Rev. Brown of Roslyn and Rev. Beckham of Spokane will both be present and will assist in a revival meeting which will be begun immediately after the adjournment of those boards. The reception of the Haymaker's Cantata club Thursday evening, March 3rd, at the residence of Miss Barbara Davis, was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. The rooms were beautifully decorated with jack-o-lanterns, hay, and the club colors. After a short literary and musical program had been rendered games were enjoyed and later on refreshments were served. EDUCATION OF THE RACES Reference to our "Observations" department, in which our contributor treats of Booker T. Washington and Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, shows that he refutes the governor's charge, in the light of the last census, that the Negro is deteriorating as he becomes educated, and makes the remarkable showing that illiteracy is decreasing faster in proportion among the blacks of Mississippi than it is among the whites, and, while 72 per cent of the white population of that state are operating farms, 71 per cent of the Negroes are in the same pursuit, the Negro farms exceeding those of the whites numerically by 36.227—the surplus Negro farming population being about 266,430. As agriculture is a basic pursuit in which no free race has deteriorated, the charge of Governor Vardaman cannot be sustained, as the percentage of illiteracy among the Negroes has been reduced 7.9 per cent in ten years, and 2.5 per cent among the whites. The conclusion is irresistible that the Negro of Mississippi is advancing faster than his white brother, in spite of the disadvantage under which the black man labors. Another singular fact is that no criminal has yet appeared among the graduates of Prof. Washington's school, and that the supply of the young Negroes graduated from Tuskegee Institute to fill positions of usefulness is unequal to the demand. In having no criminals among its graduates, Tuskegee challenges comparison with the larger institutions of the country. A hurried investigation of the question of the comparative education of the white and colored races of the United States cannot fail to be of interest. In the ten years ending in 1900 the Negro population increased 1370749 souls, with a decrease of 258934 illiterates. In 1890 the percentage of illiterate Negroes to the Annual Spring Housefurnishing Sale IS NOW IN PROGRESS ALL CARS TRANSFER TO THE BON MARCHE MAIL ORDERS FILLED total Negro population was 41.6 per cent; in 1900, it was 32.3 per cent—a decrease of 9.3 per cent. In the same decade the white population increased 12,006,898, with a decrease of 2,969 illiterate. In 1890 the percentage of illiterate whites to the total white population was 5.8 per cent; in 1900 it was 4.7 per cent—a decrease of 1.1 per cent, or 8.2 per cent in favor of the Negro race. In fourteen states selected to show the illiteracy of the Negroes, the highest percentage of these illiterates in 1900 was 32.3 per cent., in Virginia; the last, 8.9 per cent, was in Massachusetts, with 9.1 per cent in New York, 9.4 per cent in Connecticut, 10.1 per cent in Nebraska, 11.6 per cent in Rhode Island, 12.4 per cent in Pennsylvania, 14.6 per cent in Ohio, 15.4 per cent in Illinois, and 17.7 per cent in Kansas. Nebraska shows the greatest percentage of decrease among these fourteen states, at 17.6 per cent in ten years, and despite the assertions of the governor of Mississippi the educated Negroes in our state have not deteriorated, neither are they criminals. They are respectable, industrious people, holding favorable place in this commonwealth. Maryland is next to Nebraska with 11.1 per cent decrease; Kentucky 10.7 per cent decrease; Missouri, 9.1 per cent; Virginia, 8.5 per cent; New York, 7.2 per cent; Indiana, 7 per cent; Pennsylvania and Kansas, 6.9 per cent; Illinois, 6.3 per cent; Ohio, 5.6 per cent; Massachusetts, 5.3 per cent; Rhode Island, 4.2 per cent; Connecticut, 3.2 per cent. As Nebraska has the lowest percentage of illiteracy among the white race, the census shows it is educating its Negro population up to the same standard, with a day coming when not a man, woman or child over ten years of age in this state will be unable to read and write. If, in the light of its great achievements in the past, education is deteriorating the people of Nebraska, the governor of Mississippi will never look this way for anything by which he can slander or degrade an unfortunate, but rapidly advancing race, because it happens to have a black skin and was once shackled as a slave.—Amaha Enterprise.

Mrs. George Selby will entertain the Silverleaf Musical club Monday evening, March 14th, at her residence, 2608 East Valley street. Miss Ida M. Hayes, who has been visiting in the East for the past four months, is expected home within the next few days. The sacred concert being planned by the Silverleaf Musical club will be held at the Mt. Zion Baptist church, March 29th. The members of the Booker T. Washington society entertained last Wednesday evening, March 29th, in a most elaborate style, the occasion being the installing of the new officers of the society for the ensuing year. Mr. George W. Bryant, who has been employed in Anderson's barber shop for the past two years, leaves next Monday to accept a similar position in Vancouver, B. C. The shop in which he will work has recently been purchased by Rev. Taylor of this city. Mrs. George H.

Light refreshments were served, and some thirty guests were present. With a view of organizing a K. P. ledge in this city a number of young men met in the office of Mr. Andrew A.

Rev. and Mrs. F. T. Walker were surprised last Thursday evening by the members and friends of the Mt. Zion Baptist church in the shape of a "storm party," led by Mrs. Payne. Many substantials, which preachers generally stand in need of, were presented by those attending. While Mr. W. C. Miller was quietly celebrating his birthday last Thursday all by his lonely, never dreaming that anyone else knew anything about it, some forty of his friends gathered at his home to help him do so. A very pleasant evening was spent by those present and Mr. Miller felt much younger than he did before they came. The deacons and deaconess' board of the Baptist convention of this state will meet at the Mt. Zion Baptist church next Friday and the executive board meets Saturday. Rev. Brown of Roslyn and Rev. Beckham of Spokane will both be present and will assist in a revival meeting which will be begun immediately after the adjournment of those boards. The reception of the Haymaker's Cantata club Thursday evening, March 3rd, at the residence of Miss Barbara Davis, was one of the most enjoyable affairs of the season. The rooms were beautifully decorated with jack-o-lanterns, hay, and the club colors. After a short literary and musical program had been rendered games were enjoyed and later on refreshments were served. EDUCATION OF THE RACES Reference to our "Observations" department, in which our contributor treats of Booker T. Washington and Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, shows that he refutes the governor's charge, in the light of the last census, that the Negro is deteriorating as he becomes educated, and makes the remarkable showing that illiteracy is decreasing faster in proportion among the blacks of Mississippi than it is among the whites, and, while 72 percent of the white population of that state are operating farms, 71 per cent of the Negroes are in the same pursuit, the Negro farms exceeding those of the whites numerically by 36.227—the surplus Negro farming population being about 266.430. As agriculture is a basic pursuit in which no free race has deteriorated, the charge of Governor Vardaman cannot be sustained, as the percentage of illiteracy among the Negroes has been reduced 7.9 per cent in ten years, and 2.5 per cent among the whites. The conclusion is irresistible that the Negro of Mississippi is advancing faster than his white brother in spite of the disadvantage under which the black man labors. Another singular fact is that no criminal has yet appeared among the graduates of Prof. Washington's school and that the supply of the young Negroes graduated from Tuskegee Institute to fill positions of usefulness is unequal to the demand. In having no criminals among its graduates, Tuskegee challenges comparison with the larger institutions of the country. A burried investigation of the question of the comparative education of the white and colored races of the United States cannot fail to be of interest.
