Seattle Republican

The Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN C. W. W. VOL. X. NO. 41 The candidacy of Hon. Frank H. Brownell of Everett for the Republican nomination of one of the three representatives to the lower house of congress appeared in Mr. Brownell's home papers a few days ago and the same is meeting with a most flattering reception by the general public. He is one of Everett's most stirling business men, and unquestionably the orator of the northwest. Mr. Brownell was a candidate for a similar nomination two years ago and was able to go to the state convention with a solid northwest delegation. His friends believe he will be able to do equally as well this year, in the coming state convention. The northwest section of the state is sadly in need of representation in congress, and inasmuch as that section seems to be a unit for him the Republicans in state convention assembled will be compelled to give his candidacy much serious consideration, if not actually to nominate him. In case he controls the northwest he will have the following counties: Jef- POLITICAL POT=PIE City Treasurer elect S. F. Rathbun was not responsible for the Daily Times supporting him before the election and when it decided to do so he knew it meant harm for him, but he could not prevail on the old editorial montebank to desist from it. The only reason that Mr. Rathbun did not get as many votes as did Mr. Riplinger was because he was supported by the Times. Even Dr. Crichton in the ward in which the editorial push of the Times lives lost votes by the Times supporting him. The stand taken by the Times at the last election clearly demonstrated it had no more political influence than the most insignificant weekly published in the city. The people read it for its sensations, do not believe a word it says, what they read is in one ear and out the other. Republican politicians in the future would do well to "cuss" the Times out if it makes any move towards supporting them for office as its support means a great loss of even Republican votes. Nothing is so gratifying to the McBride opposition than that McBride is being supported by the Times, which means certain defeat. * * * From last Monday's Post-Intelligencer it would seem that the Wilson and Piles people have been made to realize that the cat hauling of those two senatorial aspirants in this county means the certain defeat of both of them. With a divided delegation from King county going to the legislature supporting Piles and Wilson and knifing each other from start to finish it means the certain election of Ben Groscup to the United States senate, who is the real senatorial candidate from Pierce county. George Stevenson, the Northern Pacific Democratic slate fixer, is trying every way SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1904 Hon. Frank H. Brownell, Everett, Candidate for Congress he knows how to stir up strife between the Wilson and the Piles men in King county for he knows if he can keep them at swords point with each other it means the success of the Tacoma man. * * * Whether or not a political truce has been fixed up between the Wilson and the Piles people the Pie-maker is not prepared to say, not being in the confidence of either of them, but things seem to point that way. The friends of John L. Wilson are willing to support any available King county man to the senate and if Wilson is not that man they will support that man, be he Piles, Furth or Harold Preston. In other words, the friends and supporters of Senator Wilson are King county men from stem to gudgeon and they are for the King county man that can command a sufficient number of outside votes to assure his election. What Mr. Piles, Mr. Wilson and every other good King county man should do is to have the King county legislative delegation instructed to go to Olympia to land a King county man and to not be too careful how he either spells or pronounces his name. There should not be a particle of hostility between the followers of Mr. Piles and Mr. Wilson on the senatorial situation, for the two men are making their campaigns along different lines and the one need not interfere with the other. The nominees to the legislature should be genuine King county men and then leave it to their judgments to make the necessary combinations for landing some loyal King county man in the United States senate to succeed Senator It, who has misrepresented the state for the past six years, and also to prevent the election of that aspirant who, if elected, would never be able to look after the interests of no parts of the state except those over which the Northern Pacific passes.

Pierce county, under such conditions, would rush to his rescue with 58 votes thus increasing his total to 207. Having in the past been on the most friendly terms with the southwest it is presumed that he will get quite a vote from there, which would almost, if not actually, nominate him. That he is a dangerous rival of some one of the present three representatives in the lower house of congress is plain to be seen. He is making a most active campaign. He has many warm personal friends in King county, who will give him their votes if they can do so without compromising their own candidate. It is also believed that on the first ballot he will get Walla Walla's 20 votes and whatever other strength the friends of Senator Ankeny may be able to turn his way.

While he as yet has no positive strength to bank on, yet he hopes to have enough general strength to do the work. He will doubtless profit in the fight between the Smith folk and the McBride folk. He seems to think that the Preston-McBride folk will be so bitter toward the Smith folk that a compromise will be out of the question only with him and he further hopes to get enough votes in the county convention to take advantage of just such an emergency. *** The McBride followers believing that the Wilson Piles folk might come to an understanding have begun an active campaign.

When a man like the manager of the Young Men's Christian Association of Seattle invites his audience to join him in singing the national air, and then he breaks loose on "My County 'Tis of Thee," while the orchestra and the audience begins singthe "Star Spangled Banner," one is reminded that, it is not always the one, who can say, "Lord! Lord!! in such a way as to command a big salary that actually knows how to pound sand in a rat hole on general principles. No Spring in Sight. The fellow who continues to write about Spring being upon us and who insists on saying, "While the East is burried in four feet of snow and ice, Puget Sound is a great green sward with flowers blooming in the gardens, impresses the average person living on the Sound that it is really true the fools are not all dead yet. The flower that has dared as yet to poke its nose out on Puget Sound was one well nourished by hot house heat. The weather is absolutely the worst that this country has seen for years and, according to the weather man, there is nothing better in sight. Erin's Sons Rejoice Greatly. Following out their usual customs the sons of Erin, who live in this part of the moral vineyard celebrated St. Patrick's day with much pomp and splendor last Thursday and the banquet halls here and there were filled with sons and alleged sons of that good old saint, full and overflowing. One never knows who has Irish blood in their veins until the wearing of the green is in order, when some unexpected racial facts are brought to light. Men, women and children who would have to employ a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out where they come in as Irishmen and proudly don the green emblem St. Patrick's day as those fresh from Ireland. The Negro, the Jew, the Anglo-Saxon and the Dago all vie with each other as to which can don the loudest regalia of green. The Irish-American. In his native heaths the Irishman is perhaps one of the much abused races of this world. He is not only abused by other races, but he is badly abused by the members of his own race as is the case with all races that are trampled under foot by a dominant race. The Irishman trans-planted in the United States, however, is altogether a different personage. He is progressive and prosperous and greatest of all a policeman and he becomes a part and parcel of the great American people. He has made good in so many ways that the American people are proud of their Irish blood and nothing more thoroughly demonstrates that than on the day the Irishman loves best all Americans try to be Irishmen. In his own quiet way the Irishman has taught the other weaker races of this world two great principles, First, that to do well they must scatter out among the other nationalities; Secondly, to succeed after scattering out they must do as well if not better than those they settle among. The Negro, the Jew and the Dago might all profit by his experience. Up to Park Commissioners. If in the near future Seattle does not begin to show signs of laying the foundation for one of the finest parking systems then the park commissioners and not the citizens will be to blame for it. The voters and taxpayers of Seattle have given those gentlemen everything they themselves after much care and consideration on their own part, could think to ask for, and now it is their duty to get there Eli. From a monetary standpoint it will be almost impossible for the commissioners to use up all the money that will in the near future be at their disposal, and with no checkmate as to the spending of the money, something beautiful should soon put in its appearance. Needs a Nigger Minstrel. Eli Perkins' distinction between wit and humor, which he so humorously depicted to those who listened to him last Saturday evening fairly sparked with Eli's mines of wit and humor, but the number present was painfully small to what should have been there. Eli thinks he knows the American people, but he, after all, is behind the times and it is suggested that he employ a nigger minstrel show to accompany him and parade the streets at noon, if he desires the effete American to come and listen to what he has to say. The coon song and the cake walk are the attractions that draw the big crowds in the United States. Was Actually in a Bath Tub. Senator A. T. Van de Vanter, who has been absent from home for the past ten days in San Francisco, is reported as having lost his footing while in a bath tub and fell, painfully hurting himself. That's what he gets by undertaking innovations because he happens to be in a big town and among the big bugs. In other words, the senator went a long ways from home to find trouble, but he seems to have been iminently successful. How perfectly natural for feet unaccustomed to sleek, soapy bath tubs to become unruly and refuse to maintain their owner's equilibrium, and especially when away from home and perhaps suffering from an overload of the "white man's burden." Van was not much hurt, and he will soon be home and in the political harness as of yore. Took a Cold Water Bath. Breaking away from one's life customs is always tended with more or less danger as others besides Senator Van de Vanter will verily testify. In this the writer is reminded of an incident in a Southern college where one of the neighboring country boys became a student. He was a bright, progressive young man, and began at once to pattern after the other college boys. After attending for two weeks or more and becoming quite a favorite with the boys, owing to the fact that he would smuggle good things in to them, he suddenly ceased to come. "What has become of Ike?" asked a student of Aunt Hariet, a privileged ante- SEATTLE SOUVENIR bellum peddler on the grounds, who lived near the home of the stutdent. "He's berry seek," she laconically replied. "What seems to be the matter with him?" was further asked. "Oh, Ike comes ova to dis college and ses you culluge boys strips of and gits in a tub uf cold water and dat fool nigger comes home and does it too, and now he's nearly dead wid de numona." The explanation was hard on Ike, but it showed that this thing of bathing is more than a notion and one had better be a bit careful before tackling it. Used Too Much Soap. Bath room lectures are always very interesting subjects to the average American in easy circumstances, who, for the most part, are bathing enthusiasts, and who spend small fortunes in bath room paraphernalia. If Seattle has one enthusiast in this particular it is Hon. Wilson R. Gay, who, at his elegant Fifteenth avenue home, has more different kinds of bathing outfits than an armless man can shake a stick at. Recently a friend of Mr. Gay's was reading aloud in his presence from a French magazine, which ran like this: "The English people have greatly deteriorated physically on account of their too frequent use of soap. In short, the English are too clean. The Creator gave us a natural oil to protect the skin and make it suple and, we pass our time removing thitis oil with soap. In consequence we are more vulnerable to colds, to rheumatism and to all sorts of diseases. Soap opens the pores of the skin and disease enters with ease." At first he listened only with forbearance, then as the reader proceeded he became all attention and as the reader continued he became painfully absorbed. The article being concluded, he sat for a moment in perfect silence, when he finally exclaimed. "That's my case exactly, and no more bathing for me. All this bathing I've been doing accounts for my rheumatic troubles, but from now on it's off with the Swede. For a month past Bill Gay has been looking the pink of health, and he is his former self. It is, therefore, presumed that: nature's oil has been getting in its good work with telling effect since the water cure has been cut out. Arcade to Be Completed. "There is nothing so much like a half a cheese as the other half," so says the country philosopher, and, as the old farmer often says, "that's about three thirds right." With such an idea in mind the owners of the Arcade block, of which James A. Moore, the captain promoter of the Northwest is the manager, have about decided that the other half of th Arcade looks good to them, and that in the near future their original plans of erecting a mammoth block, which will be bounded by First and Second avenues and Union and University streets with an arcade way in the center, will be put into execution which will, when completed, give Seattle one of the most unique blocks in the whole West. James A. Moore has few equals when it comes to building up a town, even though he does get immensely rich in doing so. Seven Days' Current Comment and Observation Diamonds Cut Diamonds. A contemporary rather sarcastically remarks, "If the Seattle Electric Company would spend as much money in car wheels as it does in politics it would give the public much better car service." There is perhaps a grain of truth in the statement, but, if the officers of the Seattle Electric Company were as ill-bred as that writer they would doubtless retort: "If the editor of the Blatherskite would drink less whisky and put his money in town lots he would be a wealthy man sooner or later; or they might as aptly say: "If the Blatherskite had not have blackmailed so many business men as it is now trying to blackmail the Seattle Electric Company, it would have long since gone to the newspaper boneyard." It would thus seem that persons living in glass houses should refrain from throwing stones. The fact of the whole matter is, it is a lack of juice and not of car wheels why the company does not give a better service, which will be remedied as soon as additional power can be had, which will be quite soon. Stands in Her Own Light. Ballard, a thriving suburban village, is unalterably opposed to being absorbed by Greater Seattle. That is to say, the office holding grafters are opposed to it lest they lose their good fat jobs, out of which they some times make some easy money, but, if reports be true, the rank and file of the citizens are very favorable to the proposition. Let Ballard alone, and if she will not come in let her stay out. Seattle already has the little hamlet completely surrounded, and if she does any more building she will build herself right into Seattle, and before she realizes it she will wake up one bright morning to find herself a part of Seattle nolens volens. That the town stands in her own light is patent to every man of any business sense, but to have a little longer lease of office holding on the part of the office grafter explains why Seattle and Ballard do not become one at once, if not sooner. New Chief of Police. That he might not fall heir to the troubles that have followed the administration of Mayor Thomas J. Humes prompted Mayor-elect Ballinger to select a chief of the police outside of the department. He has named Thomas R. Delaney, a deputy customs inspector, for the place and his election meets general public approval. Tom Delaney is unquestionably a terror to evil doers. Since he has been working for the government as customs inspector he has actually apprehended more smugglers and customs evaders than any other man on the Pacific Coast. That he will make a first-class chief of the police is a foregone conclusion unless the present members of the force set out with the intention of jobbing him for selfish reasons, but any attempt at that would find an equal in Tom Delaney. Mayor Ballinger has also appointed John H. Ballinger, his nephew, as his private secretary and reappointed Ralph C. Cook chief of the fire department, Gardner Kellogg fire marshal and M. C. Jensen harbormaster, all of which is highly pleasing to his constituents. OBSERVATIONS. Thomas Tobin, who was recently electrocuted at Sing Sing for the murder of one Capt. James B. Craft in New York city, walked to the death chair repeating a little prayer he learned in childhood. After all there's no time so precious as when we kneel at prayer at mother's knee. Little wonder that we place her next to God. Little wonder that the influence of her memory even makes life worth living, though the billows are tossing high. The nomination of General Charles Dick to succeed the late Senator Hanna has called forth pointed criticism both pro and con. "The choice is wise from every standpoint," declares one section, while another as vemently says, "The selection of General Dick has fallen like a wet blanket upon the people of the great and proud state of Ohio." "Tis not in life but after death that the general public agrees as to whether a man was truly great or a total failure. That the Supreme court will blink its eyes, look wise and do nothing when the actions of a Southern state annuls amendments of the federal constitution, has been proved by its refusing to interfere in the Giles case on the validity of the Alabama suffrage provisions. Massachusetts is on the eve of establishing a convict camp to be filled with the prisoners from the county prisons and houses of correction. The object for which it is being established is praiseworthy. The land which they'll improve is now poor soil and waste. After they reclaim it the state will sell to individuals. How different from the Southern convict camps which lease men and small boys alike to private individuals, who drive them late and early in order to satisfy their greed for gain. When steam engines propelling railroad trains were first introduced in this country we are told that the country people spoke of them as "flying horses." Could the same persons see a train pass on the famous German experimental electricroad which speeds at a rate of more than a hundred miles an hour they would not only be nonplussed as to terms to express their ideas of it, but would stand in open-mouth wonder while on their faces would rest an expression much akin to that which the hayseed wears as he takes his first "drop" earthward in the elevator of some ten or twelve-story building. Could Abraham Lincoln return to life and read all of the things he has been quoted as saying regarding the Civil war and the Negro, both before and after his emancipation, he would be very much surprised, to say the least. But dead men tell no tales and, it might be added, make no contradictions. Cy Warman believes ere long Canada will become an independent nation. Says he: "I'd make it, tomorrow, a republic, like Switzerland, with no army but mounted police, and no navy but the fishing fleet, having the passing applause of ternal friendship of eight-tenths of the people of the United States and the good will of the world." We read, and in our imagination, all but hear, the rustling of wings as the Angel of Peace hovers over us and then, remembering that such Christian ideas are extremely difficult of realization, we become pessimistic and say, maybe, but not in our day and time. King Solomon, who for the past twelve months has been an alluring subject for the daily space-filler, after a varied experience in the east and the middle northwest is, ac- B. MAYOR L. D. CAMPBELL, Tacoma's Republican Nominee for Mayor. cording to the space-filled's report, again headed for Seattle, where, as a fakir, he once reaped a veritable financial harvest. King Solomon, though black enough to spit ink for the government, during the time above mentioned, has had a world of trouble as well as fun with the "fair" Anglo-Saxon of this country, and that, too, aside from his professional service for them, all of which should be a great drawing card for him when he blooms out again in this man's town. While on his way from Portland to Seattle about a year ago King Solomon was attacked by a lady passenger for snoring too loud while trying to sleep, and in order to avoid a drubbing from the woman and the brakeman he was forced to draw his gun on them. For this he was arrested, and after the Kalama officials bled him for about $300 for defending himself, he was permitted to proceed on to Seattle. His stay in Seattle was full of excitement and it is reported that he left the city with a man's wife who deserted her children, and purloined her husband's money for her ebony King. He soon relieved her of all her ready cash and left her to mourn his absence. She returned to Seattle to find her husband suing her for a divorce. Her love for Solomon never grew cold and his absence drove her mad and she to-day is in the mad house sobbing for Solomon. The King turned up in New York and the yellow journals simply went wild over him. He soon became engaged to a young and beautiful Desdemona. From New York to Seattle the papers published his picture and told of his great Klondike wealth. Either for advertising purposes or believing an Iago lurked about his fair Desdemona in a fit of anger he shot one of her fingers off. After an amusing but exciting trial for the same he was acquitted of shooting his "mama." Whether his fair one will accompany him to the Coast is not known, but his escapades have been many and of the kind to advertise him in a way that the wealth of a Gould judiciously expended would not have done. Knowing the great anti-Negro feeling that's running riot in this country just now, it hardly seems possible that a creature like King Solomon would receive so much consideration as well as substantials from even those who often take the lead in fomenting trouble against the male of his race.

It would be putting the Forum of Tacoma up against the real thing to require it to state whether it was for Campbell or Fawcett. Ah there, Foxy Grandpa! Congress is threatening to adjourn unusually early this year and not drop even a Crum to the Negroes of this country. When the Olympian says, "Lord save us lest we perish," it probably has in mind that overdue mortgage held in the Capitol Savings bank. The evidence that has been given for and against Senator Smoot has made him look so Smoot(y) that he is almost certain of being Brigham H. Robertsed by the senate. The Japs may be punishing the Russians, but the latter do not seem to be aware of the fact. In other words, the daily war talk is only yellow journalism. Pattti has gone and it is truly a good riddance of bad rubbish. Earlier in life she perhaps could screa mquite loftily, but it's beyond her reach now. Down on the Wabash its Fairbanks are already listening to the humming bees that seem to say: "A vice-president for Indiana once again." Hum away, your tune sounds good. Gov. McBride, candidates Lord and Blackman all did political stunts last Saturday night by being initiated in the order of Woodmen of the World with sounding brass and tinkling cymbols. Willie Hearst's damphool letters to Southern legislatures may bring him convention strength, yet it will destroy the remotest hope of him ever being president of the United States. Once again the Tacoma Twins have been turned down by Mayor Campbell. Look out, Mr. Mayor, it's a long road that has no turn, and the third time is said to be the charm. The Democrats of Seattle and Tacoma seemed to be overstocked with hungry office seekers who imagine they can hoodwink the voters into believing that old fossilized party is really Wright after all. The disease of lynching Negroes for every crime they are charged with committing seems to have spread from Mexico to Maine and from New York to California. There is such a spirit of intolerance all over the country that he dare not exercise his American rights to defend himself lest he commit a crime for which only summary mob punishment is found adequate. Russia never treated her despised Jews one-half so bad. --- Grover Cleveland in one respect at least was a fit comparison for Tom Reed of Maine, as they were both very stout. The latter was a stout statesman, however, while the former was and is only a stout fisherman. A gubernatorial patronage statement has recently been issued by John E. Humphries, a King county candidate for governor. A man for each place should bring to his support a mighty host of supporters and workers. The Times and the Patriarch contending over the different brutes that have a taste for malted liquors. We are not prepared to say which is right, but there is no doubt but that the animals that preside over the two papers in question are unduly fond of the stuff. What's the excuse for the courts railroading a Negro accused of crime to the gallows any more so than any other nationality? Is the same crime more henious if committed by a black man than by a white man? Grover Cleveland now denies that he dined C. H. J. Taylor. Our estimation of Mr. Taylor is very greatly increased on hearing it. Hangmen may be elaborate entertainers, but they are certainly gruesome ones. Some one has been mean enough to say, Gen. Charles Dick will rattle around in Mark Hanna's senatorial seat like a grape shot in a five-gallon oil can—make a noise, but with an uncertain sound—he will, more plainly speaking, truly be a political dickey. That New Jersey street car conductor that confessed in court that he had been married forty-seven times must have found his daily avocation a most conducive one to aiding him in getting a new wife every change of the moon. If new pastures make fat flocks he must be a pretty fat man. The Seattle Republican has more readers each week than any other paper not connected with a daily, in King county. Its readers are by no means confined to any class, but it is read by the people by and large, and no better advertising medium can be had in the county than it. Telephone Main 305 and a representatives will come and see you at once. Inasmuch as Senator Hanna was doomed to die, what a blessing he passed away before his state became a devotee of the Southern Negro persecution idea. Why do not the Anglo-Saxons all over the country join in a monster petition to the Creator that He made a mistake in creating the black man, and suggest his removal from the earth. Republican politicians are simply fattening for frogs snakes in spending money for political announcements in Democratic papers, and the Republican that does it is far from being a consistent Republican There are a dozen or more Republican papers in the county and Republican aspirants should spend their announcement money with them. Senator McLaurin may deny that his Mississippi constituents are selling pictures of President Roosevelt and Dr. Booker T. Washington dining together, with obscene literature underneath, but he will have to do more than simply deny it to prove it. In other words, "you have to show me." Those semi-barbarians will do anything. Certainly the religious thought in this country is behind that of England, for the reason that the thought in this country has not been made so long as the thought in England. To illustrate: A big and a little boy went to Sunday school. The big boy was unable to tell who made him, while the little boy promptly answered God. "Of course he knows better than me who made him," he explained to the teacher, "because he has not been made as long as I have." Prosecuting Attorney Scott should be amused at some of the opposition to his renomination, which is because he did not put himself and his office up for sale to the lawbreakers of this city. Such opposition is wholesome. Was that the aftermath of Mayor-elect Ballinger's police shake up that put Seattle on a teater last Wednesday evening? or was it the farewell address of Thomas Jefferson Humes to de gang? Did Moik and McGinty get so awfully full last Thursday that the effects of their tumble actually jarred the city the night before? With Ballinger as mayor and Delaney as chief of police, the Seattle grafters fell so hard last Wednesday evening that their fall was mistaken for an earthquake. St. Patrick may never have seen snakes, but it is more than likely that but few other Irishmen can truthfully say as much. Congressman Spight of Mississippi almost made a jackass of himself in the "house" last Wednesday trying to apologize for the acts of his barbarious constituents upon the Negroes of the South. The acts of savages need no explanation. Dollars to dolls that those white men of the South who rave the most about "nigger equality" are the proud possessors of one or more flourishing families by ilicit relations with Negro women. Some people do not mean all they say, especially when they are talking to the galleries. Those gentlemen who are to manage the McBride fight in King county may be very brainy boys, but their past primary election records do not show them to be very extensive delegate getters. A very essential quality in a fight like this. Saturday will decide whether it be one or two conventions with the odds in favor of the former. One convention may be alright, but two conventions would certainly last longer. A blacksmith is always much in demand in growing cities like Seattle, but it seems to be a white Smith that is the center of attraction just now. That Everett man who got lost in the woods was doubtless splitting kindling in his back yard when the recent snowstorm struck the place. The town, you know, is "in the woods"—it recently went Democratic. To mutilate the dead bodies of the German settlers as did the natives in South Africa was simply awful, and to retain the parts of the body as souvenirs was doubly awful, but it seems to us the white men of the South in this country have done something very similar to this with the Negroes. Two beasts make a brute. NR Ex-Councilman Will Parry receritly paid $500,000 for a Seattle tract of land. No wonder that Second ward politician spent $2,000 trying to be a member 2f the city council and would have spent as much more to have actually been one. Editor Mays of the Pomeroy Independ- ent, it is alleged, has been caught in the act of assaulting, with her consent, a fif- teen-year-old girl. It is useless to explain Editor Mays is not a Negro, because he was only reported as having been arrested and not burned at the stake. Bishop W. B. Derrick of the African Methodist church says, “I want to go to Africa to live.’ We have always under- stood that the. good bishop was exceedingly well to do, which, if true, would seem to say: “There is no need of him wanting to go.” Just go! W. L. Dudley has announced his candi- dacy for county auditor and from now on there is going to be something doing. The Pie-maker sees no reason why Democrats, who have joined the Republican party for the sake of hélding office, should be named for fat political positions by the Republican conventions without opposition and before he is nominated Jim Agnew will hear it thunder in political circles as he never has before. In the Tird ward he is lined up with the Prestons bag and baggage, and yet he is trying to work the Dr. Smith forces. Before Dr. Smith’s friends support Jim Ag- new for county auditor they would do well to investigate his line up in the first of the Third. ‘He is trying to play foxy grandpa all over the county. He is a McBride man and is lined up for him. L. C, SMITH, Pres, J. W. CLISE, V. Pres, ¢, R. COLLINS, Gen’l Mgr.

POLITICAL POT-PIE (Continued from Page 1) nothing more or less than a lot of shouters. The fight in King county is between Smith and Hum- phries with McBride as a side issue ready to join with some immaginary being that will prom- ise to give him something. + 48 “I have had considerable business in the office of the county clerk for the past four years” said a prominent man from the north district of this county, “and especially at the window presided over by J. M. Brewster and I am thoroughly con- vinced that he is one of the most accomodating men that ever worked in that office. He has made many friends in my section of the county and | am certain that he will get quite a few votes in the next county convention from there.” 2 3 In summing) up the list of aspirants last Mon- day morning for county clerk the P.-I. overlooked the fact that Harold J. Lea was also a candidate for that place. It will be remembered that in the last county convention, in the exciting fight be- tween C, A. Koepfli and Billy Inglish, Mr. Lea held the balance of power, and by pulling out of the race when he did, made it possible for Koepfli to be nominated, thus showing that he had some very positive strength in that convention some of which he will have in the next convention. cow “Kenneth MacIntosh desires to succeed W. T. Scott as prosecuting attorney, so I am told,” came from a South Seattle man, and if he dces there will be one delegation from the country that will be for him. He is a most excellent young man and in my opinion will make an ideal prosecuting attorney. ses Frank B. Weistling, with the view no doubt of being named as a deputy by the winning candi- date for prosecuting attorney, has shied his cas- tor in the fight. Weistling has been a candidate for the same office ever since 1894, and never gets any nearer the goal. It seems that the peo- FIRST NATIONAL, BANK OF SEATTLE, WASH.

The people seem to think there is some- thing rotten in Denmark and that Frank Weist- ling knows it, and for that reason they are not desirous of putting him in political power. secs “Jack Stringer is going to have the solid Sey- enth ward for the nomination of sheriff, and if they can make any combination with a view to helping in his fight they are going to do so,” said a well known politician of that ward one day this week. Regardless of the faction that wins out in the Seventh, in my opinion, that faction will give Mr. Stringer a hearty support. He would make a clean capable official and the Pie-maker is prepared to state that the Republicans could not find a better man than he if they would scrape the county over with a fine tooth comb. ee * How many of the present judicial roster will be renominated no one seems to exactly know at this writing, but, if A. W. Frater realizes his am- bition, some one at least of them will get left. Mr. Frater is a candidate for the nomination of superior court judge, and it looks as if he had already votes enough for one to say, “Judge Fra- ter” is the way he will be addressed in a few short months more. The Ninth ward will be a unit for him and it is reported that he will have the entire north district, and he is by no means without friends in the other parts of the county. + 08 Sparring for places on the legislative ticket is going on at a rapid rate in every district in the county. It is not so much what senatorial as- pirant will the candidate support, but will you be loyal to King county. Those candidates who are out and out Piies men declare that they would willingly go to Wilson if he showed the outside strength, and the Wilson supporters declare the same thing, so it will not be so much the senator- ial aspirant as it was two years ago, but the personel of the representative aspirant himself.

(Susie Revels Cayton.) Such a flutter and stir as there was! Surely no Leap Year party was ever begun with greater promise of success. What a time the girls had had making and executing plans and writing invitations for this expected happy event. And now the night had come as come must all set dates, sooner or later. The boys were to meet at one girl's home, what they termed "a half-way house," and the various girls were to call for them there, then on to the place of entertainment. By some means unaccountable, at least to the boys, all of the girls arrived at the same time. The boys claimed that they must have been afraid in the dark, but the girls stoutly denied the assertion. The fact was they had met at the home of Jennie Bonner, the acknowledged most popular girl in town, before dark and waited till the appointed hour and then bravely marched out in a body afraid, of nothing. The party was a great success! It was not till a start for home was made that John Greenwood, one of the town's most prosperous merchants, became aware of the fact that the night, or rather the early morning hour, was beautiful beyond description. A full moon flooded the earth with a soft, soothing light; there was a calm—a holy calm—in the atmosphere. As he assisted winsome Jenny Bonner, who had complimented him for the evening, into the hack which was to take them to her home, he felt a peculiar thrill of ownership, as it were, a sort of feeling that he had the right of proprietorship to see after her welfare. He seated himself opposite her in the hack. They had attended the same school for some years, had taught classes in the same Sabbath school, and served on numerous church committees. Every Sunday they sang together in the choir, they read together and talked—well, they had talked of almost everything save how much each loved the other. John Greenwood knew that life for him without Jenny, his Jenny, as he secretly called her, would be dreary indeed, and she—well, it was many and many a day before she would even admit to herself that his image was engraved upon her heart. Only lately had she realized why such a sweet spirit of contentment rested upon her when in his presence. She leaned slightly forward in the hack, the mellow moonlight fell upon her face; she looked very beautiful in her soft, clinging dress, her flowers and laces. In silence they rode homeward, neither seemed disposed to talk, yet she was happy just to be in the restful joy of his presence and he—well, he just drank in the beauty of her sweet face, as he beheld her in his mind's eye, for he was looking from the hack window, and thought how much he loved her. Hers it was not to speak first, although it was leap year, but somehow she felt as if an invisible power were about to take him from her. Instinctively she leaned further forward—the moonlight fell on her entire head and shoulders; it lightened up the jewels in her hair and on her bosom; her lips were slightly parted; she longed to stretch both hands towards him that she might be clasped to his manly breast. Her eyes rested upon his face with such a look, with such a light—sweet, soulful eyes a glow with love! But he was looking at the trees and houses, yet seeing them not, for his sight was blinded to anything save her who sat opposite him in the swiftly moving hack. Suddenly he became aware of her fixed gaze, he turned his head quickly and leaning forward, looked at her intently. She started, guiltily, as if fearing he would read her too bold thoughts. "What is the trouble; are you cold?" he asked as he thoughtfully tucked her light wrap closer around her—he was always so thoughtful for her welfare and comfort. "O, nothing," she answered. "I am a bit tired, perhaps." And from her heart welled a partly suppressed sigh which bodily fatigue alone does not call forth. She nestled back into the shadows of the hack and but little was said during the remainder of the ride. "I'll call tomorrow evening and try to tell her how much I hove her. I cannot wait longer," was John Greenwood's mental decision. And so filled was he with thoughts of the time when he might claim her for his bride—his own—she seemed like a part of his being now, so completely had she entered his life, that he was grave, pre-occupied as he assisted her to alight and bade her good night at her door. Jenny did not understand this new departure; his actions seemed strange. She was sorely wounded at heart. Little suspecting their real meaning, she concluded that she had mistaken his friendship for his love. "He has never loved me," she cried, and tears of regret and angered pride blinded her eyes as she slowly unfastened the bows of ribbon and unpinned the now-drooping flowers which she had worn for his admiration. To decide was to act with Jenny Bonner, so the next morning a telegram was sent to Aunt Elizabeth Bonner stating that her niece, who had accepted the kind invitation to spend the summer with her would start for her city that day noon. A sweet-faced girl in a jaunty traveling suit; a tiny gloved hand handed him to shake, two saucy eyes that smiled into his and "Good-bye, John; I'm starting for Aunties," spoken as only she could speak it, were the first intimations that John Greenwood had of the new turn in the state of his love affairs. He was too much surprised to speak at first and when he did find words he did not say one thing that he wished he had said afterwards. She had stopped by his place of business on her way to the depot and before he realized it all she was gone. In his darkened life, for he missed her more than he even imagined he could, his only ray of light was the hope that she would soon return and he could then tell her of his great love for her. But the days lengthened into weeks and the weeks into months, and yet she did not return. Finally a letter came. It was her familiar handwriting. Eagerly he broke the seal. It contained a smaller envelope. He opened that and drew forth—a card—dainty to a finish—a work of art. On it was printed Mrs. Elizabeth Bonner's invitation to the marriage of her niece—Jenny Bonner. STATE PRESS "We wonder if there be any danger of Joseph Smith's converting the entire United States senate to Mormonism?"—Seattle Daily Times. Well, hardly, and for no other reason than because a great majority of the senate is made up of men who do not look upon a dollar as the only thing one has to live for. If, however, the senate was made up of such men as direct the destinies of the Times they would be converted to Mormonism or anything else if there was only a dollar in it for them. What is it the Times, under its present management has not done for a few paltry dollars? "Evidently the Republicans of the state did not consult brother Cayton, of the Seattle Republican, as to how, when and where they would convene this year."—Fremon Collegue. Nor no other Republican, but they did consult a Democrat George Stevenson. This paper is perfectly willing to take orders from Republicans, but it strenuously objects to taking political orders from Democrats and it does not give a tinker's damn how important the Democrat may be. Look out for yourself, neighbor, for they are after your scalp as was shown in your last precinct fight. "The boycotting methods of the back room politicians of the McBride stripe are being brought to the light and when the voters go to the polls in the primary election they will register their disapproval of that pernicious system of bringing people into line. If a man cannot be ruled by this unscrupulous gang he must be ruined. A prominent merchant of this city was forced by this gang to take his advertisement out of the Argus against his will. Stores are being boycotted and even laborers are being prevented from earning a daily wage for showing any independence. The people are determined that this system of political coercion and the McBride gang that is back of it must be downed."—Mt. Vernon Argus. The same low contemptible politics has been practiced on The Seattle Republican for the past eighteen months. The office holder or partisan who would thus injure a partisan paper because it did not support him is a cowardly cur and would shoot an opportunity in the back from ambush as quickly as would a panther spring from a limb of a tree on its passing prey. The following statement has been made by Hon. Frank H. Brownell as to the candidacy of himself for congress and Mr. Nichols for secretary of state, the same appearing in the Everett Herald. "Mr. Nichols and I have had several conferences over our respective candidacies before the coming Republican state convention and after consulting numerous state and county leaders, have both come to the conclusion that there is nothing antagonistic in our respective ambitions and have agreed to mutually support and work for each other. It seems unwise for us, at the present time to decide upon a list of delegates as that is a prerogative of the county convention, but we both hope to have the mutual endorsement of the Snohomish county convention and trust that our mutual interests will be consulted in the selection of the delegates as is customary in cases of this kind."—Herald. The husband and father of Yakima who allowed a fourteen-year-old girl to induce him to leave his happy home and family to go to some other town with her ought to have been firmer. His wife met him at the depot on his return, forgave him, and blamed the girl for leading him astray. Perhaps she has not reasoned out how far astray a fourteen-year-old girl can lead a man of 47. "Labor unions are threatening New York," says a dispatch. What for, to drink all of her beer supply up, or threatening to go to work? Editor Hazeltine has been appointed a university regent by Governor McBride. When all the good pay jobs have been given to the ward heeling politicians the empty honors are handed out to the men who make the country and likewise the rulers. The holder of a matured Endowment Policy in the Equitable Society, says: "Twenty years ago, when I took out my Endowment Policy, the premium looked to me like this: $47.68 while the Endowment, looked at from a distance of twenty years, appeared like this: $1,000 Now, my policy has matured, and coming just when I need money, the result of my policy looks like this: $1,467.25 While looking back, and realizing that they are amounts thai would have been saved in no other way, this is the appearance the premiums have: $47.68 THE EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES 120 Broadway, New York A.

Postoffice Address: 633 Pioneer Building, King County, Washington, February 6, 1904. a cccccmcmcmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn PREACHERS BENEFIT ASSOCIATION In Connection with the African Methodist Episcopal Church The following very interesting cir- ewlar has been mailed to this office, which is given in full: : Dickson, Tenn., March 1, 1904. Dear Brother:—Many measures will be brought before the General Con- ference in May next, none of which will be of more importance to the ministers and church than the one relative to the superannuated preach- ers. That they should be better pro- vided for we all readily agree, and why shouldn’t we, when we remember ihat we are traveling that way, and unless the reaper thrusts in his sickle ere we reach that place where our days of usefulness as active ministers will be done, fearful that our fate will be as our already fallen brothers who are now receiving but a meare support for their many years of faith- ful service? Goverments, States and societies endeavor to care for and pension their old soldiers and worn out members. And how much more should the church of God care for those who have given their lives for its promotion. After much study and prayer, and consulting many of our brethren in regard to the same, I have a plan which, I think, will reasonably support our superannuated ministers, and thereby relieve the church of an embarrassmert in that particular. I herein submit the plan for your con- sideration, First. To organize the traveling preachers of each confer- ence into a Preachers’ Benefit Asscci- ation, each having to pay a small an- pual-due. Second. Auxiliaries may be organized in each church where there are five or more members. Third. Let Allen’s Day have a weeks night celebration and take up a col- lection for the association, or on any other day that the General Confer- ence may fix. Let the money now being paid superannuated preachers be sent to the secretary and treasurer of the Preachers’ Benefit Association, and let the superannuated preachers be paid quarterly. Our plan does not When It Comes Right Down to GOOD, STRONG, WELL-MADE Lawn [lowers There’s nothing ‘‘goes like the “Crescent Lawn Mower”’ Points of Superiority Light Running, Sim- ple Mechanism and constructed of the very best materials.

A. Lewis in the field te organize associations. Can I have your support in this laudable cause? Let me hear from you. Full plan will be seen in constitution. Yours for the good of the church, W. A. LEWIS. The disposition of colored folk to join secret societies is so strong that it often leads them into oranizations that are fakes pure and simple and as a result they and their, money are soon parted, but here is the ground work for forming a great and good benevolent society, which will be backed by the largest church organ- ization among the Negroes of this country and it seems to us that they would hasten to take advantage of it. An organization that will not only care for the superannuated preachers, but would also look after the sick and idigent members of the church, whether old or young, it seems would be a God send. When this matter comes before the general confer- ence it should meet the approbation of every regular as well as lay dele- gate, and the institution put to work at once. The African Methodist church has shown its ability to handle fiinancial as well as religious matters and it would not be found lacking in this instance. The whole plan seems, so feasable and so practicable that the wonder is that it was not thought of years ago and by this time been as well established as the church itself. Rev. Lewis is said to be one of the able as well as reliable divines of the Tennessee conference and pos- sesses much of the good things of this earth and if put at the head of the institution it would mean its success from. the very beginning. Let the press of the country look well into this proposition and give their read- ers the benefit of their deliberations. AFRO-AMERICANISM. Miss Marion Smart is the name of a rather dashing young Louisianan octoroon who went to England with the Williams and Walker show, who had a bit of English notoriety that she seems to have hugely enjoyed. The young lady has a most handsome fcrm and face and during the perform- ance she attracted no little amount of attention. One young man of noble family got an introduction to her and for two months or more wined and dined her at the best places in Lon- don. Finally the father of the “chap- pie” learned of his infatuation and that it was becoming serious appealed to the American consul to have the young lady deported to which she cemurred but on being shown a hand- some bank roll if she would consent to sail for America she accepted. It is said the young man lavished all kinds of valuables on her while they were having a gay old time. Miss Smart says that the most of the com- pany will never return to this country cwing to the good treatment they are receiving across the pond. The Louisville Courier-Journal bit- terly scores the mob which four weeks ago burned at the stake a Negro and his wife. The Negro killed a white man, but his wife did not. The Jour- nal says: “The episodé was one of the most atrocious outrages ever com- mitted in any part of Christendom or heathendom, No more hideous infamy ever cursed that land when the sav- ages held it, before the coming of the Caucasian with his prating of his su- periority and civilization. It is dis- gusting, sickening and horrifying to every man worthy of wearing 4 white skin.” And yet every man in tuis mob thinks he is superior morally and otherwise to the better class of Ne- groes.
