Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. X. NO. 42 J. W. McCONNAUGHEY. The fixing of the date of the next Republican county convention was the signal for the various aspirants for nominations to begin active campaigning and the past week has brought the following shrivalty aspirants actively to the front, who are leaving not a stone unturned that their nomination may be assured: J. W. McConnaughey of the Third ward is an active and energetic candidate. He is a realty dealer and capitalist. Capt. John Stringer, who is a deputy U. S. marshal, of the Seventh ward feels confident of being nominated. --- [Picture of a man in a wide-brimmed hat and a coat with a high collar.

PRICE FIVE CENTS M. B. L. C. SMITH. L. C. SMITH. Mike Kelly, the South Seattle pioneer, is a country candidate and is pushing his claims. He is a farmer, but is serving as the deputy sheriff in Judge Cann's court. Dr. C. E. Hoye is actively engaged in skirmishing for convention delegates. He is a regular practicing physician. P. J. Smith, the Issaquah member of the board of county commissioners, is a receptive candidate. He, too, is a farmer. L. C. Smith, the south district member of the board of county commissioners, is likewise a receptive candidate. George B. Lamping, present county auditor, is an active and agressive candidate. --- [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a mustache.] CAPT. G. B. LAMPING. POLITICAL POT=PIE a ae eee he Oe ope ce tat ae he > alae eR he oe Sem a ese Sar. tion it is almost a foregone conclusion that he will control the 115 delegates irom this county to the next state convention. The south district is a unit for Dr. Smith’s gub- ernatorial candidacy, and it wiil come to the county convention with not a single can- didate for office and with a trading delega- tion in order to secure an endorsement by said convention for governor. It is not ty- ing up in advance with any candidate for county office, but is holding itself in readi- ness after the delegates have been elected to trade with that candidate for county office that will deliver to Dr. Smith the greatest amount of strength.While the convention is but a few weeks off the campaign, as yet, is by no means active, and will not be before the middle of next week. ee ae State politics is rather active now and a number of aspirants for state honors are being brought i ward. In the gubernater- ial race will be found Dr. J. J. Smith, J. E. Humphries of King; Governor Henry Mc- Bride of Skagit ; Col. W. M. Ridpath of Spo- kane; Hon. J. D. Atkinson of Chelan and Banker C. J. Lord of Thurston. For lieu- tenant-governor, Hon. J. G. Megler of Wah- kiakum, Hon. M. E. Field of Chelan, and Mayor Charles E. Coon of Jefferson, all of whom are active candidates. For secretary of state no aspirant has yet announced him- self against the pivsent incumbent, Hon. Sam. H. Nichols. For attorney general, W. B. Stratton: of Pacific, who has held the office for four years, and M. P. Hurd of Skagit are active candidates. Auditor James WW. Davis of Pierce and Treasurer C. W. Claussen of Kitsap are’ avowed candidates for the state auditorship. For state treasurer W. M. Shaw of Spokane and Mr. Maynard, son of the present state treasurer of Lewis, have announced their candidacies. For state land commissioner Hon. S. A. Calvert of Whatcom and E. W. Ross of Cowlitz are avowed candidates. For state superintend- ent of public instruction, Prof. R. W. Bryan of Chehalis, Prof. Dewey of Pierce, Prof. W. G. Hartranft of King are aspirants. There will be two vacancies on the supreme bench and for these places Judge M. A. Ful- lerton of Whtman will be a candidate to succeed himself, Judge Miller of Clark and Hon. H. D. Crow of Spokane are candidates. kore The list of county candidates for the var- ious offices is a long oné, and for even thé average newspaper man to accurately name it is utterly impossible. There are about eight candidates for sheriff, fifteen for coun- ty clerk, two for auditor, three for school superintendent, one for county assessor, ten for prosecuting attorney, and two for county treasurer. oe oe It is believed that the dispute in the south district for county commissioner has been finally settled, and that Dan Abrahams, the chief deputy in the county assessor’s office will be the nominee. Dan, as he is known among the boys, is well and favorably known throughout the county and will make a most acceptable nominee for that office. ae There is no more excuse for Republican candidates making their announcements and having their cuts printed in the Democratic papers of this county than for them to ask the DNemacratic county central committee to iriendly to him to fairly place Ais canaidacy before the people. It does not seem wise nor expedient for Republicans to patronize Democratic papers in this particular and it should not be done. a Speaking about the candidates for prose- cuting attorney G, H. Revelle, who is one of Seattle’s leading young attorneys’ has an- nounced his candidacy for that nomination, subject of course, to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention, While Mr. Revelle has not been living in this city so long as some of the other candidates, nevertheless he has been an active Republi- can ever since he has been here. He hails from Maryland, and has been a resident of Seattle since i899. He graduated irom West Marylandecollege-in: 1897-withsardegnee of A. M. and A. B.° Subsequently he took:a course at the University of New York and graduated from there with a degree of L. L. B. Mr. Revelle belongs to a family that has been Republican ever since the Repub- lican party has been in existence, and from whose principles neither he nor his family have ever wavered. a ce Another strong announcement has been made for the nomination of prosecuting at- torney in the person of Deputy Attorney- General C. C. Dalton. He is perhaps one of the strongest and most popular aspirants for the nomination that is now before the Re- publican voters of this county seeking the honors at their hands. rae: Hon. W. T. Scott, who has served the people in this capacity for the past two years, and who has made a splendid record, is a candidate for re-election, with the odds, he thinks, quite in his favor. Mr. Scott is no stranger to the general public and accord- ing to past custom he is deserving of a te- nomination. * * Ivan Hyland, oie. of Seattle's most —in- fluential as well as successful attorneys is likewise a candidate for the nomination of prosecuting attorney and believes that he has a splendid show of getting it. Mr. Hy- land hails from the Second ward and claims that it will be a unit for him. * * * Frank B, Weistling, who hails from the Third Ward, not only claims that Ward as a unit for him, but also claims that the Fourth Ward will likewise support him. Mr. Weistling will doubtless have a good strong fellowing in the convention. * * * “T am a candidate for the nomination of sheriff of King county, subject to the rati- fication of the Republican county convention called to meet April 3rd next,” said J. W. McConnaughey, one of King county's lead- ing citizens, and one of her most prosperous business men. Should the convention nomi- nate him there is no doubt but that he would be elected by an overwhelming ma- jority next November. Mr. McConnaughey has been before the public on previous oc- casions, and in coming before it he has al- ways made the simple announcement that, if nominated and elected his patty would never have to apologize for, or explain any of his public acts. His office would be con- dueted in a business-like way, and no scan- dal would ever be attached thereto. In this he has been eminently successful, and now that he aspires to a higher and more digni- fied office than that he has filled, it is reason- able to presume that the trust imposed in him by his party will be more carefully enarded than in the past: and that is saving and their work 18 being felt Dy the OLNCr do~ pirants for the same office. 7 * * * It is courtesy that every Ward at least give those candidates for county offices liv- ing ‘thereitt a solid delegation, even though it be sometimes complimentary. The friends and supporters of Captain John Stringer in the Seventh ward declare that the dele- gates therefrom to the next county conven- tion will not give hima mere compiimentary yote, but will go down the line for him on a trading proposition, wherever a vote or a delegation can be had in his behalf. lew men in this or any other county in this state are better fitted to fill the office of sheriff than Captain Stringer. For the past six years hie has been a deputy United States marshall, and during that time tas shown himself to be a terror. to evil dores. It is claimed by those who ought to know, that he has made more arrests in connection with the marshall’s office than any other deputy attached thereto. He is a member of the National. Guards, and on the whole is one of the most popular young men in this city. The friends of Captain Stringer say that, in case there is no show for” Mr. McCo- nnaughey's nomination the Third Ward will go to him, and it is believed that the Eighth and Ninth will do likewise. He is favor- ably looked upon by the south district com- bination and has a long list of friends in the north district. “1 am a candidate for the of- fice because J believe I have a better show of getting the nomination than any one else, and if 1 am successful in being nominated and elected I point to my record as deputy United States marshall as proof of how I will conduct the office of sheriff of King county,” said Captain Stringer one day this week, cee “Say for me that I intend to go before the next county convention and ask for the nomination of sheriff of King county,” said Dr. C..E. Hoye one day this week, “but I am not going into this fight blindly,” he continued, “I know I have strong opponents, but after carefully going over the situation I feel that I have as good or better show than the other fellow. I will therefore, be in the fight until defeated, if defeated at all, by a majority of the delegates in the con- vention.” Originally Dr. Hoye was.a south dirtsict man living at Auburn, but after be- ing elected to the office of coroner he moved to Seattle where he has resided ever since. In both elections Dr. Hoye was the popu- lar candidate on the Republican ticket lead- ing all others by nearly a thousand votes. He has lived ever since he has been in the city in the Fourth ward and has never lost a political battle either in municipal, county, or state politics since he has been a resident of that ward. If, therefore, Dr. Hoye is able to throw to the south district the Fourth ward vote, and scattering votes trom other parts of the city im sufficient numbers to warrant that combination to consider his candidacy, the presumption is that he will be their choice for sheriff. It can be said that few candidates have so many personal friends who are loyally supporting him as Dr. Hoye, and that, too, despite the fact that he has had no patronage to distribute among them. It is very evident that he will be one of the strong candidates for the nomination of sheriff at the hands of the next county convention. * kK OO “You are authorized at this time to announce my candidacy for the of- fice of sheriff of King county, sub- yore it are Uae cea ae Ta aan aes (Continued on page 5) SEATTLE SIDE-LIGHTS When the city council elected Hiram C. Gill president of that body the unexpected certainly happened. Not that Mr. Gill has not all the necessary qualifications for making an able president, but because no man in the city council, for the past two years, has been more roundly abused and ridiculed than Hi Gill. His associates have pronounced him eccentric, erratic, and on one occasion fanatic, and yet the very next turn of the wheel elect him to the most honorable as well as responsible position in the gift of that assembly. It is very evident that either the council was mistaken then or now, and the probabilities are that they were mistaken in the past and not in the present, for it is generally believed that Mr. Gill will give the city an able administration, Jim McElroy and L. C. Gillman to the contrary notwithstanding. Its Mayor Humes No More. Pathetic beyond description was the parting of ex-mayor Humes from his official associates. How strange that this old veteran office holder should at this time weep wells of water on laying down an official toga! Thomas Jefferson Humes has done nothing but hold office, leaving one for another, ever since he has been in this city, and just why it should weigh so heavily on him to leave the mayorality chair is a question. Curly-Locks either sees his political finish, or he is losing a good thing, and it is highly probable that it is the latter instead of the former that brings about this untold grief. \* \* \* HAS LOTS OF RELATIONS. When John Arthur, the well known attorney, showed up the other night at the Celtic banquet filling the most important place of the evening, it caused a good bit of amusement, and for no other reason than that he had filled similar positions at the banquets of other nationalities. In other words, Mr. Arthur is perfectly at home in a Scottish banquet, a Welsh banquet, or a Celtic banquet. Just how he can claim lineage with so many nationalities is an amusing conundrum, and his friends often poke a bit of fun at him over his many national relationship. Mr. Arthur has not, as yet, offered to preside over an Afro-American banquet, nor has he laid any claims whatever to being a descendent of that people, but a friend of his said the other day, the only reason John has not done so is because, as yet, there is nothing in it, financially speaking. \* \* \* JOHN SULLIVAN SIDE STEPPED. You may beat an Irishman in some things, but when you beat him holding on to a police job you are a bird. Everybody said after Tom Delaney had been named as the next chief of police that John Sullivan had seen his finish, and would have to retire to private life, and that, if he wanted to get on the police force again, he would have to start at the bottom of the ladder, as he did some twelve years ago, but not so. When he saw that it was "all off" with him, so far as being chief was concerned, he made a sudden coup d'etat and had himself reduced from chief to a captain before his friend retired from office, and now he is protected by civil service, and it is reported will be chief detective, all of which shows that John Sullivan is dead next to himself in knowing how to hold on to a police job. That he will make a most excellent chief of detectives is a foregone conclusion, and that he will make an able ally to Chief Delaney is likewise a foregone conclusion. [Name] HIRAM C. GILL. President City Council. YOUR CREDIT IS NOT GOOD. Ralph Schoenfeldt, of "Standard Furniture" fame and "Your Credit is Good" had an experience in the Superior Court one day last week that almost induced him to drop the trademark of his store, which has become famous all over the Northwest. He had a bill against the defunct Great Northern Clay Co., and on the corner of the bill in bold type was printed, "Your Credit Is Good". The Judge after scrutinizing the bill asked Mr. Schoenfeldt if the purchaser of the goods for which he was seeking collection was aware of the fact that his credit was good at the time of making the purchase. "He was," answered the furniture prince, whereupon the Judge quickly replied: "Then you have nothing upon which to stand in this court. "The man was told that his credit was good, he bought the goods on his credit, and you must go to him and not this court for your pay." It was all a huge joke, but Ralph did not see it that way, and when it did dawn upon him, it was only a ghastly smile that came over his face, and he felt much inclined to add to that trade-mark "Your Credit is Not Good." * * * SMITH WANTED WRONG JOB. Most people of this county are now aware of the fact that Judge Humphries, one of the gubernatorial aspirants from this county, has recently issued a circular pointing out the number of fat positions at the disposal of the governor of this State, and it is claimed that he is offering these positions to the King county men if they will support his candidacy. The workers of Judge Humphries, so goes the story, will tell the man to select his job and then Mr. Humphries will ratify his willingness to appoint him when he is himself elected. A worker met Dr. J. J. Smith, who is also a candidate for governor, and made the proposition to him and the doctor at once accepted the offer and said, "I will support Mr. Humphries if he will give me the position that I want". He was assured that it would be done and asked to name the place he wished, and to the utter surprise of the worker the Doctor said, "I want the Governorship." That was an unexpected demand and the fellow looking rather perplexed said, "Judge Humphries would rather not give that away." Dr. Burdett Is Colonizing. The following from the Walla Walla Union will be news to some of Dr. Samuel Burdett's acquaintances in this city, who had not suspected he was in the colonizing business, which doubtless accounts for his bitterness toward L. S. J. Hunt's proposition to get a number of colored folk to come to the Blue Nile to join him in a colonizing scheme. The Union says: * * * "A novel colonization scheme is in progress of development in Klickitat county, and the colored people all over the state are watching with interest the outcome. During the past few days a dozen colored men have filed at the local land office homestead entries for land located in township 6, range 24, south of Prosser, in Klickitat county. The entries have been placed together on land, each claim being taken contiguous to that of some other colored man, and in some cases four claims were filed together, thus covering a section in a body. Every day brings a little development in the scheme, and it is understood that a number of claims will be filed shortly covering quite a stretch of land. "The plan to colonize colored men in Washington seems to have been conceived by Samuel Burdette, of Seattle, a prominent worker in politics and one of the best known colored men in the state. Mr. Burdette started the scheme several years ago, and has been working indefatigably to bring about a successful movement of Negroes from the Southern states. He has had friends interested in the South and several times has been on the verge of success when something would happen, and delay followed delay. "Recently Mr. Burdett secured the assistance of a number of colored men residing at Roslyn, where are located the immense coal mines of the Northern Pacific railroad company. These men apparently took kindly to the idea and encouraged their friends to take up land and help bring from the South those of their friends who are seeking to better their condition. It is understood that a number of families are now preparing to come to the state and at once build up a settlement composed entirely of colored people. The land which is being taken is located almost due south of Prosser, the nearest railroad station, and the terminus of the big Yakima irrigation ditch. The soil is deep and in many cases has proven productive, but the climate is severe during the winter. Much of the highland is covered with heavy timber. Transportation is the greatest drawback, the nearest railroad points being Prosser and Goldendale." Just the need of the secrecy that has been taken in this matter is the perplexing question unless the colonizer thought his settlers would be driven off by the natives. What a pity that every Negro about these towns do not go out and take up a homestead and then live on. Instead of keeping it a secret as has Dr. Burdett; he ought to have begged the press to spread it to the four corners of the earth. When persons try to keep such meritorious propositions as this seems to be in the dark they must have some selfish motive for doing so. On the farm is the place for the American Negro for many years to come. He is too bitterly opposed by the labor unions of the cities to expect very much city labor and it is therefore the duty of the press, the pulpit, and the public men to encourage the Negro to stick to the farm. Make a success of it in the West and other things will follow in its wake. enamel The Seattle Republican Established May, 1894.

This will be cheering news to the average young lover, who so frequently comes in painful contact with it, however, trust some ingeni- ous Yankee to devise means to have whale- bone “to burn” in a few short weeks more. x ote “Seattle' has hopes”, is a “Pacoma Ledg- er” headline, and we quite agree, but we would also add, she has realization as well. Seattle, however, has no hopes that Tacoma will ever be anything but a little back-bit- ing country town with a lot of “knocking” newspapers therein. ees That Southern congressman got his words mixed up the other day, he should have said “Negroes are always lynched in the South, and sometimes in the North.” Lynching is the only remedy for any Negro charged with crime in the South, and that too despite the frivolity of the charge. ee Owing to a cancer on his tongue one Thomas H. McGuire of New York, has de- cided to undergo a surgical operation, and completely. Were it not forthe pain it would be a splendid idea for many other persons in this world to undergo a similar operation. 8 es & The concensus of opinion is that, Govern: or James K. Vardaman,. regardless of the malicious views he holds of - ihe* Negro, showed a lack of good taste when in an article written for a weekly paper he con- stantly used the word*“nigger” for “Negro.” Tt is an old adage that “straws tell which way the wind blows.” veo ok Captain Myers pursued the proper policy when he went to°jail rather than undertake to. support two wives, the court's. order to the contrary notwithstanding. Tle man in Seattle who can support one wife properly, unless he happens to. draw something like $3,000 a year from either the state or county, is the exception and not the rule. © cae: When you prevent the Japanese or any other nationality, who is already in this country, from doing honest work, you are simply licensing such people to become thieves and law-breakers. Men must either work or steal. Every man is entitled to a show to make an honest living, and if you legally prevent him from doing that, you are simply making a thief of him. * OK We learn from an Eastern exchange that Russia is desirous of securing colored men from the United States as officers and en- listed men in her army. The black boys may have fought nobly at San Juan Hill in opposing the Spaniards, but we do not be- lieve they could ever fight with the same en- thusiasm against the Japanese, because they know their cause was by no means just. i * ok OM Should the “Seattle Daily Times” have a mishap, and not reach the office of the “Whatcom Blade” that paper would be “up a stump” for food for thought for its current issue. It is presumed by the reading public that a newspaper man would at least have some originality of thought and not depend wholly on others to supply its wants, even though it is subsidized by the other fellow. +) #oe We quite agree with the “Olympian” in that Senator Foster has won a signal victory in having Hal Cole named and confirmed as registrar of the land office at Spokane, The same could be said of the South when Pres- ident Abraham Lincoln was assasinated by a Southern overzealous fool—it was a great victory for the South, but it was a hard blow to Booth! ak aok: The Oriental war still rages in the col- umns of the yellow journals. An army of Japanese is one day captured by the Rus- sians, and the next day re-captured by the Japanese. Next, day. a Russian fleet is sunk by the Japs and raised by the Russians the next, and so it goes from day to day, when the truth of the whole matter is, nothing has been done by either army!

To reject him and pass the anti-polygamy constitutional amendment would mean in the jong run, cleaner politics, better laws and broader cit- izens in those states. x ok Ok It’s rather a sad commentary on American civilization when the heathens of the Philip- pines are petitioning congress to deliver them ‘from such christianity as that brought to them by the Americans, which is preg- nant with disease, drunkenness, debauchery and degeneracy. Talk about your “social equality”, but for the Filipinos to admit such Americans as have left the United States and settled among them on a social equality, would be stepping from the sub- lime to the ridiculous. * * Speaking about the Dantzler-Lever elec- tion contest from South Carolina, the com- mittee appointed to investigate the cireum- stances have reported that Dantzler was not elected, but left the question of Lever being elected open. In other words, indirectly the report says, neither of them was elected, which is quite true, and now it is reported that this report may unseat a large number of members ‘from the South, if the same should be followed up, but like most of those cases they will never be followed up. The Republicans are half hearted in those things, and they do just enough to make a “play to the galleries”. xe At a meeting of the executive committee of the State Press Association last Saturday it was decided that the next annuar mecié+ . of the Association would be May 23rd, and on the St. Louis Exposition grounds. its fully two months too soon, but un der no circumstances should it be held until the National Republican Convention ad- jounrs. If the date had been fixed at June 23rd instead of May, some of the boys might be able to attend both the National Conven- tion and the Association, and thereby have a “hog killing time” for once at least. sk e H. A. Bigelow has announced his candi- dacy for county commissioner. He ought to succeed beyond expectation as he has “oil to burn” with which to light his pathway in the fight. oe ok M. E. Field who has twice represented the people of Chelan, and Okanogan county in the lower house at Olympia, has an- nounced his intention of being a candidate for lieutenant-governor. Not satisfied with the honors given him by the party, he now asks his county to nominate him for the office of lieutenant-governor, for no other reason, it seems, than to aid in the defeat of John D. Atkinson for Governor. The Wen- atchee Advance of last week says: “Governor McBride has written a letter to Representative Field, of this county, ask- ing him to come out as a candidate for lieutenant-governor, in order to defeat At- kinson. Mr. Field cannot deny this as he has shown the letter to reputable citizens of Wenatchee, “Mr. Atkinson has not gone into Skagit ee eR te ee inion ing nominated and elected me." For the past forty years Mike Kelly has lived in the neighborhood of Seattle, yes, in the neighborhood in which he now lives, which is South Seattle, and during all that time he has been a most earnest Republican, never varying from the party principles in a single instance. It is said of him that he is personally acquainted with pretty nearly every man between Seattle and Tacoma, and he has more personal friends among the country folk than any aspirant for political office now before this county. While he has from time to time filled minor positions as deputy sheriff, yet he has never been before the public as an aspirant for an executive office. That he will be a strong factor in the political line-up for sheriff in the coming county convention no one doubts, and his friends believe that he has a most excellent show, owing to the great multiplicity of candidates, of being the compromise candidate of the lump lot. "Yes, The Seattle Republican is a splendid weekly, but the editor is --- grafter in the state," was overheard one day this week coming from a political aspirant for a $3,000 per annum position. His excuse for the remark was, he had been solicited to have his cut run in The Republican and was expected to pay an insignificant amount for the same. If such is grafting, the management hereof at once pleads very much guilty. But let's consider.

There is not a single colored man in the Evergreen State today drawing a salary from the public crib and that, too, despite the fact that every public office is held by a dyed-in-the-wool Republican. The black man's party fealty is highly appreciated by his Republican liege lords-nit. The Seattle Republican has always been blindly partisan, whether the nominees were or were not friendly to him, or those with whom he is racially identified. It's only reward for such fealty has been a dozen or more dollars from a limited few of the candidates for high and paying position for its cut work—always more of the candidates not paying than paid. Whatever newspaper patronage there was about any of the offices always went to the fellow with a brighter skin. Now, because this candidate was asked to pay something toward the support of a paper that reaches 3,000 loyal voters to show his fiz to them, he goes off on a tangent and pronounces the editor of The Republican the grafter in the state. Men who make such statements may be Anglo-Saxons, but they act and talk very much more like Mexican Greasers. Some day, perhaps, Washington will not be 16,000 majority Republican and then such men will look and long in vain for the black phalanx on election day—it's a long lane that has no turn. Samuel H. Piles has opened headquarters in the Washington block, and has begun to make preparations to capture the next county convention. Frank Twichell is his county organizer and Potter Charles Sullivan, he of 1896 gubernatorial nomination fame, is his state organizer. FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SEATTLE, WASH.

McBride are operating from their headquarters and say they are making marked headway. Just why any one in King County should support him is very remarkable.

TELEPHONE RAINIER 30. --- Seven Days' Current Comment and Observation TRAMP ONCE TRAMP ALWAYS. Much has been said about a tramp, who a few days ago, found a package on the Great Northern Railway containing $10,000 in gold, and returning the same to the railroad officials, and for his honesty receiving a position at one of the pumping stations on the railroad, somewhere in the mountain districts at a salary of, perhaps, $60.00 a month. That it was more a case of unadulterated laziness than old fashioned honesty in the tramp returning the money is apparent on the very face of it. Once a tramp always a tramp. It destroys all the American ambition one has, and nothing demonstrates that more than this particular case. Lacked American Energy. Any man with a grain of American pluck and enterprise would have taken that $10.000, dropped out of sight, and in the course of two years been worth ten times that amount, especially in this country, and if his honest conscience so prayed upon him about it, that he felt that he should return the money, he could have then done so with accrued interest thereon, and would have been considered by the general public just as honest as he is at the present time, and in the meantime he would have earned for himself a fortune. There is no intention in this connection to detract from the old adage, "Honesty is the best policy", but it is the intention to show that the man who takes up the profession of tramp is hopelessly beyond redemption, and in giving the man a position whereby he could earn $60 per month he was burdened rather than rewarded. He returned the money because he expected a "soft snap", get some kind of a position where he could sit around and smoke his pipe, guzzle beer and tell yarns about his tramps and his honesty, but he will never rise higher than a tramp. CAN'T STAND CRITICISM. Newspaper as well as public criticism has so preyed upon Postmaster-General Payne that he is threatening to leave the cabinet and retire to private life. It is the general belief that Mr. Payne is in no sense of the word mixed up in the postal scandals that have been brought to light within the present administration, but for political effect and personal enmity his name has been frequently connected with them, and though he knows he is not guilty, yet they have weighed so heavily upon his mind that he is almost ready to quit the service. In other words, Mr. Payne cannot face American criticism though he knows he is right. That is a weakness of some men and it cannot be helped, but if all public men would persue the same course it would not be many years before this government would be completely wrecked. Mr. Payne might learn a most valuable lesson from the noted colored educator Booker T. Washington, who has been more severely criticised by the papers of both the white and colored races of this country than any other man in it, save President Roosevelt, and yet he has not once lost his temper or his equillibrium in any particular, but has moved on in the "even tenor of his way", and as time goes by he grows stronger with the general public, and in some instances with even those who have criticised him the most. Unjust criticism never hurts any one if you are only able to confront and prove its falsity. * * * Mount Booker Washington. Some time ago it will be remembered by our readers we announced the naming of the highest peak in Washington State as Mt. Mt RAINIER 14500 FEET Mt TACOMA 14500 FEET Booker Washington. This name has just been ratified by the United States Geological Survey, and the mountain has been marked in red ink on all of the maps issued by the survey commission. The mountain is in the forest reserve of the Slehekin Quadrangle. It is pulbic property and 7,500 feet high. A painting of the mountain has just been finished and a splendid photograph of the painting has just been sent to Principal Washington by Mrs. Abbie R. Hill of Tacoma, Washington, who painted it. It will have a place in the exhibit of that state at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition.—Tuskegee Student. You have been razzle-dazzled. There are a hundred different peaks higher than the one you refer to. In short some of the pine and fir trees are almost as high as your peak. Mount. Rainier is twice as high. If you had have referred to one of your geographies you would not have made the laughable break. In future be careful what you publish. AN ENEMY TO LIBERTY. The French Republic is justly indignant at the proposal of some city of the United States to erect a monument in memory of Napoleon Buoneparte, the French military tyrant. America is warned by the French papers of the sentiment in this country to drift into aristocracy, to create an upper and a lower class among the people, to distribute titles and official honors to this and that man and thereby drift into monarchism. The Napoleonic poison is dangerous for this or any other Republic. Along this line a French paper says: "France is still suffering from the victories, defeats and national ruin wrought by Napoleon, and Americans can only be counseled to regard as enemies of their country all those who aim to glorify arms and conquests. It can only mean ultimate bloodshed and national decadence. The erection of a statue in memory of the tyrant Napoleon means nothing less than the triumph of the enemies of liberty." How Education Injures the Whites. In the domestic affairs of the United States the most important event last month was the inaugural address of Governor Vardaman of Mississippi, from which we reprint an extract in our department of Current Discussion. Governor Vardaman is a man who must be taken seriously. The contemptuous views which he holds regarding the Negroes he does not hold regarding the most ignorant whites. During the campaign in Mississippi which led to his nomination, he appealed particularly to the sentiments of the poorer whites and stood as the special champion of equal rights as against ring rule and money in politics. For this reason he secured the votes of many men who do not believe in his reactionary educational program. Yet this program he has championed with such striking success that it may speedily find advocates in other states which have disfranchised the Negro. Governor Vardaman's opposition to Negro suffrage is confessedly opposition to the suffrage not merely of ignorant Negroes, but of all Negroes In a recent article in "Leslie's Weekly" he said—"I am just as much opposed to Booker Washington with all his Anglo-Saxon reinforcements voting, as I am to voting by the cocoanut-headed, chocolate-colored loittle coon, Andy Dotson, who blacks my shoes every morning." He opposes the schooling of a Negro as a criminal waste of money in an attempt to "make more of a nigger than God Almighty ever intended." His proof that education injures the Negro is based on the relative returns of Negro criminality in Massachusetts and in Mississippi. In Massachusetts, where illiteracy is relatively very rare, Governor Vardaman finds that the number of negro convicts is proportionately five times as great as in Mississippi. In "Leslie's Weekly" he uses the same figures again, and cites some distinguished Southern professor as the scientific authority for them. The professor and Governor Vardaman are quite right about their figures, but they did not carry their statistical investigation far enough. The eleventh census showed that the number of Negro convicts in Massachusetts was relatively five times as great as in Mississippi, but it also showed that the number of white convicts in Massachusetts was relatively twenty-five times as in Mississippi. The contrast in illiteracy between Massachusetts and Mississippi is as great among the whites as it is among the blacks, and if Governor Vardaman's argument proves that education corrupts the morals of blacks, it proves much more strongly that education corrupts the morals of whites. As a matter of fact the figures showing a low percentage of convicts in Mississippi are not peculiar to that state, but repeat themselves in all of the agricultural states North as well as South. In the penitentiaries, both South and North, the proportion of illiterates among convicts is considerably greater than the proportion of illiterates among the rest of the population. Governor Vradaman's argument is utterly futile; but if he and his friends insist that it has weight, in the name of logic let them admit that it tells with greater force against the education of whites than against the education of blacks. —Current Literature.
