Seattle Republican

NORTHWEST The SEATTLE RE TLE REPUBLI SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. X. NO. 43 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1904 Prosecuting Attorney Prosecuting Attorney As MANY HAVE BEEN CALLED—ONE WILL BE CHOSEN --- W. T. SCOTT. KENNETH MACINTOSH. FRANK B. WEISTLING. The report that the Northern Pacific-O. R. & N. railroads interests of this state had formed a combine with Gov. Henry McBride and agreed to nominate him rather than see Samuel H. Piles of the Great Northern interests name the next Republican nominee for governor spread like wildfire yesterday (Thursday), and is still being warmly discussed by King county politicians. If the rumor proves true, Mr. Piles will be off the political map as will King county. Now that ex-Senator John L. Wilson is again at home, The Seattle Republican suggests, in case the report proves true, that the very best thing for King county to do, from a political standpoint, is to endorse his candidacy and at once send him out to do business with such counties of the state as are friendly to him. Despite the opposition to Senator Wilson in King county on account of the Piles influence, Mr. Wilson is by odds the strongest man in the state. If King county gets a United States senator at the hands of the next legislature, it will be John L. Wilson. He is her only hope and there is no need kicking against the pricks. At best Mr. Piles will go to Olympia with a divided delegation from home and with such he can never win. The Railroads had better not play the hog, for if they do King would resent it at the polls. If they are wise they will compromise on Senator Wilson. G. H. REVELLE. CHARLES BAKER. HARRY A. BIGELOW. CHARLES BAKER. VOL. X.

If HARRY A. BIGELOW. POLITICAL POT=PIE The startling announcement last Monday evening that Dr. J. J. Smith had withdrawn from the gubernatorial race has been state talk all the week. Pressure having been brought to bear on him by the Piles people to the effect, he was standing in the road of King county getting a United States Senator, he preferred to step aside rather than to be so considered. The news could hardly be believed when first reported and in some cases persons would not believe it until they heard Dr. Smith himself say that he was no longer a candidate for governor. The Pie-maker understands that the 115 delegates to the state convention are not to go to Governor McBride, but are to be traded in the interests of S. H. Piles wherever he can benefit his senatorial chances. Under such circumstances one is not too sure but that the votes will finally go to Governor McBride as he will have some trading property in the next legislature. In other words, at this writing it seems almost certain that McBride will finally capture the King county delegation to the state convention, which means his nomination on the very first ballot. \* \* \* The witdrawal of Dr. Smith has prompted aother move which is to bring Frank H. Brownell of Everett into the gubernatorial fight and thereby leave smooth sailing for Will E. Humphrey to return to congress providing always, Mr. Brownell will give up his congressional aspirations, which it is believed he will not do, but should Mr. Brownell, decide to go into the gubernatorial race, it will be done with the distinct understanding that he deliver the Snohomish county legislative delegation to Mr. Piles for United States Senator, which would again complicate matters in Snohomish county as bad as they have been in King county as that could not be done without a fight. It has only been within the last fortnight that Mr. Brownell and Mr. Nichols patched up their differences so as to avoid a fight between the two aspirants for state honors over the naming of the delegation and the Pie-maker has been creditably informed that the legislative delegation under their truce was to be undisturbed by Mr. Brownell and that the friends of Mr. Nichols were to be nominated for the legislature from that county, and, it is generally believed, those members would be friendly to the election of Senator Wilson to the senate and unless therefore Wilson becomes a party to this new alignment there is more trouble ahead for the King county senatorial aspirant. * * * The article in the Seattle Republican last Saturday to the effect that, the editor of this paper had been pronounced a "blankety blank grafter" by an office seeker, created no little comment throughout the city and among the politicians of the state in general. It is quite true that this state is overwelmingly Republican under ordinary circumstances, and it is nevertheless true that the 3,000 colored votes in this state could not in any sense of the word change the result on the general state ticket, but these votes are so situated in the legislative districts of this state that, if properly handled and advised, to be able to defeat the election of a Republican United States senator next year by the coming legislature. There are a sufficient number of colored votes in the Thirty-first representative district to jeopardise the election of two representatives; Enough in the Thirty-second to jeopardise the election of the two representatives from that district; Enough in the Thirty-seventh to defeat its two members of the legislature, all of whom are in King county. There is one district in Pierce county in which the Third ward is located, that the colored vote, if properly directed, could defeat one state senator and two members of the legislature; The colored vote in Yakima county could defeat a senator and two members of the legislature: In at least two districts in Spokane the colored vote holds the balance of power. The colored vote in Kittitas county could defeat one senator and two members of the legislature. Now if this colored vote could once get it into their heads that the Republicans have not treated them fairly and have no intention of doing so and decided on administering a reprimand like this, it would mean a very serious matter for the Republicans of this state, and, unless some steps are taken between this and the next election, looking forward to giving them some recognition in some shape, form or manner, this vote is going to be used where it will do the colored man the most good in the future. The colored voters of this state would fare a great deal better politically speaking if such a man as Judge Thomas Burke, or ex-Senator George Turner was in the United States Senate than if Senator Foster, Ben. Grossecup or for what they know, S. H. Piles. Self preservation is the first law of nature and the Negro of this state gets nothing from the Republican party because he has done nothing politically but vote the Republican ticket. The most careful and conservative estimate places the Negro vote in this county about as follows: Ravendale, 50; Franklin 75 or 100; South Park and neighboring communities, 100; Newcastle, 50; First ward, 250; Second ward, 50; Third ward, 125; Fourth ward, 50; Fifth ward, 50; Sixth ward, 25; Seventh ward, 200; Eighth ward, 10; Ninth ward, 75. In all about 1.250 and so scattered as to defeat fully half of the legislative ticket. If the enemies of the Negro are to be pushed to the front and they cannot help themselves then it is thir duty to strike where they can accomplish the most. * * * The latest report from Walla Walla county is to the effect that the Boxers have Senator Ankeny's forces routed horse and dragon. Governor Miles C. Moore is a fighter from way back when he gets warmed up. *** Hon. W. M. Shaw is still hoping to get an endorsement from Spokane for state treasurer. He is highly spoken of in Western Washington and if Spokane wills it he will almost land. \* \* \* It is claimed by a well informed politician from Eastern Washington that Col. Ridpath will have Spokane county and will get quite a few votes from other counties in that section, quite enough to make him a big factor. * * * The withdrawal of Dr. Smith from the gubernatorial race strengthens the candidacy of Hon. John D. Atkinson. His friends in Spokane are fighting against instructions unless it be for a local candidate. \* \* \* Now that the south district is likely to have one or more candidates for county offices the early candidates in the field are on the anxious seat. Lou Smith is said to be Piles candidates for sheriff. Dock Smith and John Wooding, however, deny it. * * * Within the past week there has been such Piles of politics in King county that they made the Smith family, as big as it is, look like thirty cents with a hole in it. When it was announced that Scott was Piles' candidate for prosecuting attorney a miniature rebellion broke out at once, and if oil had not been thrown upon the troubled waters Piles' senatorial candidacy would not have lasted two days longer. * * * Judging from the Olympian, C. J. Lord has about worn out in Thurston county. If he can now get the co-operation of the southwest combination he too will be mighty strong in the state convention. There are eleven candidates for superior judges, and if street gossip indicates anything, the aspirants show strength as follows: Arthur Griffin, George E. Morris, Boyd J. Tallman, A. W. Frater, John F. Miller, R. B. Albertson, W. R. Bell, C. E. Shepherd, John K. Brown, Solon T. Williams. The candidates for sheriff seem to rank in strength at present in the following order: Lou Smtih, Dr. C. E. Hoye, J. W. McConnaughey, Jack Stringer, George B. Lamping, Frank Kennedy, Capt. Ward. The nomination is no man's victory and everybody's fight. * * * Despite the fact that the Piles combine has selected Otto A. Case for county clerk nomination he will not have a walk-away. Close at his heels will be J. M. Brewster, George N. Gilson, Edgar C. Raine, E. A. Seaberg, C. E. Plimpton, A dark horse may at the eleventh hour be sprung for this nomination. (Continued on page 5) W. T. SCOTT. "I am a candidate for re-nomination to the office of prosecuting attorney of King county, and feel that I am entitled to the office, if for no other reason than for the precedent that has been set in this county, and in the Republican party in general, to give an office holder a second term where he has not been derelict in his duty. The records of the prosecuting attorney's office ever since I have been at the head of it, will show as many or more convictions than that accomplished by any other prosecuting attorney in the history of the county. The volume of business done is twice as great as that done by the office under my predecessor. I have no apoligy to make for the way in which I have conducted the office, and I believe a majority of the voters will support my re-nomination and re-election. I have no further or greater promises to make as to what I will do if re-nominated and elected than to point to my past record. What I have done in the past is indicative of what I will do in the future as prosecuting attorney". Whatever else may be said for or against Mr. Scott's re-nomination it can be said without fear of successful contradiction, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN OFFICE: 1414 SECOND AVENUE Phone Main 305 that he has so conducted his office that the men who for years represented the vicious element of this city are opposing him—in fact it is said that he will not get a single vote from the First ward or any other ward where the degraded elements of humanity exist in any number. If such be true Mr. Scott should be admired for the enemies he has made. When such men as the Clancys oppose him it seems that the good people could make no mistake in being for him. He is right in contending for a second nomiation, that being the custom of the Republican party all over the country, and he and his friends see no good and sufficient reason for him being made an example of by being given only one term. Indications point to a line-up between Mr. Piles and Mr. Scott, which, if true, will almost assure him the nomination. KENNETH MACINTOSH. "Say for me that I am a candidate for the office of prosecuting attorney for King county, and will be until actually defeated by the county convention. I am the candidate, of no combine, or senatorial aspirant, and, therefore, will remain in the fight until it is finished, whether I win or lose." In making this announcement, the Seattle Republican has no hesitancy in saying that a most amiable young man aspires to fill the office. While it does not mean very much in this county to boast of being a native son, nevertheless, that honor Mr. MacIntosh boasts of, and no other candidate for any of the county offices can do so. He lives in the Fifth ward and fifth precinct, where he was born, and, it is safe to say, that not a single man in the ward will vote against him in the coming primaries. He has friends all over the city, and on the whole, is one of the most popular young men before the public. The following is a brief biographical sketch of him: Kenneth Mackintosh, born in Seattle, completed his college course at Stanford University. Later he accepted a position with the Triumph Mining Company, and for two years acted as superintendent of their mines in California, resigning that position to complete his legal education in the law department of Columbia College, New York, returning to Seattle after graduation. He was associated here with the firm of Burke, Shepard & McGilvra, remaining until he decided to begin on his own account the practice of his profession. He has been a great success in his profession and would conduct the office if elected in a manner beyond reproach. FRANK B. WEISTLING. Not long ago the Seattle Republican said of Frank B. Weistling, that he was a candidate for the office of prosecuting attorney to the extent of forcing the successful candidate to name him (Wiestling) as his chief deputy. This, Mr. Wiestling wishes, in this conection to correct. "I will accept a deputyship from no candidate, nor will I enter any combination with any candidate either to accept or give in case of success a deputyship. I am a candidate for prosecuting attorney, and believe that I am as much entitled to the office as any other Republican. My record in this city is an open book. In my profession I have defended a great many criminals, as have other attorneys, and for that reason I am better prepared to act as prosecuting attorney of this county than a man who has had no experience in that line. If I am nominated and elected, the criminals of this county will be prosecuted and convicted, and their cases will not be dismissed for lack of evidence when their is sufficient evidence at one's finger ends, if he desired to use it, to send them to the penitentiary. As to my Republican- ism, no one can say aught against it. I have always been a consistent and loyal Republican, and will continue to be, whether nominated or defeated." Frank B. Wiestling was born in Harrisburg, Penn., April 5, 1865. He graduated from Harvard University in the class of 1887. While in Harvard, he played on the University baseball nine for three years. He became a member of the "Hasty Pudding Club" and of "Alpha Chapter A. K. E." Mr. Wiestling came to Seattle before the fire in 1889 and has practiced law here continuously since that time. He is a member of the "Harvard Club of Seattle", past Chancellor Commander of the "Knights of Pythias", "Military Order of Loyal Legion of the United States", "Eagles", and of the "Columbia Lodge, A. O. U. W." He is a man of family and lives in the First precinct of the Third ward of Seattle. It is needless to say that, coming from Pennsylvania, Mr. Wiestling has been a member of the Republican party all his life. He is at present a candidate for the nomination for prosecuting attorney for King county, subject to the decision of the coming Republican county convention. GEORGE H. REVELLE. "The cadidacy of George H. Revelle for Prosecuting Attorney of King county on the Republican ticket is being warmly advocated by his many friends. Mr. Revelle came to our city in 1899, and has closely pursued the practice of his profession since in our midst. He is a graduate of the University of New York, and also a member of the New York bar. He was born in Maryland in 1871. Mr. Revelle possesses that peculiar force and ability which wins men, and which combined with the Prosecuting Attorney's office would make that office a strong one." It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that Mr. Revelle is one of the rising young attorneys of this city. Being popular with the people he will be a strong factor in the deliberations of the next county convention. It seldom transpires that a young man with the legal ability of Mr. Revelle aspires for the office of prosecuting attorney, owing to the fact that the salary attached thereto is so very small, but he was appealed to by a number of the leading citizens of this city, owing to the fact that he was considered one of the cleanest as well as most conscientious attorneys at the King county bar, and it was thought by those citizens that King county at this time was especially in need of a man of such a makeup as Mr. Revelle. His only promise to the voters for the nomination and election is, he will see to it that the laws of the state of Washington, in King county, will be enforced, and that, coming from him, is quite sufficient. He lives in the Third ward and it is believed will have considerable strength there. He has many warm personal friends in the Seventh and he will have a great deal of strength from those delegations. CHARLEY BAKER. Everybody knows Charley Baker, and they know him because he is one of the squarest men that was ever in business in Seattle. Two years ago he was elected county commissioner, and he has been just as fair and square in that office as he was in his business. Two years of official life brings no change whatever over him for he is the same Charley Baker he has always been. It being the custom, as has already been stated in another column hereof, to give county officials two terms, if there first was a success it is right and proper that he be made no exception of, but be re-nominated by the next county convention. The Seattle Republican has no candidate for county office, but will support the nominee whoever he may be. If however, Mr. Baker is re-nominated, it certainly will feel that the Republicans of this county did one most excellent job in county convention assembled. Like his opponent, he too lives in the Seventh ward, and his friends declare that he will get every vote in the Seventh, with the exception of the Fifth precinct, and that will go to him on a second ballot. There is no question but that he is a very strong man, and will go into the county convention with a powerful following. He has been in Seattle for the past thirty years or more, and during all that time has been one of Seattle's most prosperous as well as energetic business men. In the campaign two years ago not one word derogatory to him could be said and he will go into the coming fight with equally clean hands. HARRY BIGELOW. The Seattle Republican last week announced the candidacy for county commissioner of Harry Bigelow and it is prepared to say at this time that few men in the county are better known than he, and it is believed by those who are supporting him, that the opposition to him will be so small in the next county convention, that he will be nominated practically without opposition. He has been a resident of Seattle for thirty years, and during all that time has always been an ideal citizen. He has held many positions of trust and honor and has always stood well among his fellow men. He was for three years deputy United States marshal, under Tom Brown, and is one of the most prominent Grand Army men in the county or state, he havig been repeatedly honored by his comrades to honorary positions in the order. Mr. Bigelow is one of the heavy taxpayers of the county, has been a resident of the Seventh ward for the last twelve years, and has been in public life, more or less ever since he has been here. He never before espired to an elective office, and only consented to allow the use of his name in this connection after having been prevailed upon by a large number of his Grand Army, as well as business friends. He is fifty-four years of age, and is and has been one of the active business men of this city. FRANK KENNEDY In last week's roster of candidates for the office of sheriff, the name of Detective Frank Kennedy was omitted, not by mistake, but because it was impossible at that time to get a photograph of him. Mr. Kennedy is a candidate for sheriff, and is being warmly supported by the politicians of the Fifth ward, and by a great many persons who generally come to the county convention from the north district. It is believed that he will go into the county convention with pretty nearly as many votes as any other candidate seeking the nomination. For the past eight years he has been a detective in this city, and has made a most excellent record in that capacity. If nominated and elected he will make as good a sheriff as he has detective. The Republicans of this county would make no mistake if they gave him that nomination. It will be remembered that a detective from the police force was once made sheriff of this county in the person of Ed. Cudihee, and for four years he has given the county one of the best administrations that it has ever had, and all because he had gained such a wide knowledge of the haunts and habitues of the criminals and their associates of this city. Kennedy will make just as fine an official as has Mr. Cudihee. The Seattle Republican Established May, 1894. H. R. Cayton.....Editor Susie Revels Cayton.....Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

Russia still sees Japan's finish, but she doesn't seem to have the faculty to show it to either Japan or any other country. Next Sunday's outfits may make ma and sis look good, but they will certainly make pa look gooder, when the bill comes round. If the divorce records of this country prove anything there are more sinners besides the Mormons that will have to answer to a higher-court for the crime of polygamy. It's bad enough to have to hear what some folks term music, and now if it transpires that we are to feel it as well, then Heaven pity us!! General Starvation's army is now said to be fully occupying Port Arthur, but is ready and willing at any time to surrender when the little brown men get close enough to it to hand over the papers. The south district by a simple twist of the wrist transformed Doc Smith into Lou Smith, and never stopped running for the biggest and best office in sight while it was doing so. "Being agreeable" is, we admit, quite a nice art, but some people never practice the art, even when they know it, only in the presence of someone else besides the members of their own household. Unless the war in the Orient gets a "move on itself," the war correspondents will have completely exhausted their splendid supply of "yellow" lies that they left this country with. Political brow-beating was successfully worked two years ago in King county, and it begins to look as if we are to have another dose of it this year. It's a game that one can carry too far. Jim Tillman, the multo-murderer of South Carolina, is a candidate for congress, and ten to one he will get it. The murderer in the South is always both the political and the social hero of the hour, and generally gets all the good things in store. President Gill does not seem to be very much impressed with Democrats. If Hi. is anything at all politically speaking it is a true blue Republican and while he is president of the city council the Democrats will find that out. The young men of the South, from a Democratic standpoint, want a president. It costs them nothing to want and they, therefore, can want and want and want, until they get tired of wating and take that for their president. This country has not so far lost its good sense as to elect a president from the South, either now or within the next century. "Rich Strikes In Alaska", do not seem to strike outsiders very favorably these days. Too many poor devils struck cold instead of gold when they were in Alaska to be caught by such newspaper headlines at this stage of the game. "What Of The Future?", is a startling headline of the "Seattle Union Record." Very very gloomy, is the prediction of the Seattle Republican, if organized labor is permitted to raise as much hades throughout the country as it has in Colorado. Atkinson after all is the first gubernatorial candidate in the field. Chelan, his home county, has instructed for him, and in the very near future Douglas, Ferry, Okanogan, and Republic will all follow in its wake, when he will be very much in the gubernatorial fight. The other day Roosevelt, while waiting for a train, in a railway station humming; "I wonder where I'll be in a year from now." It is said that a refrain was taken up by Cleveland, Bryan, Parker, Hearst, Gorman and Harrison which ran like this: "Where the woodbine twineth." Radium, which promised to be equal in every respect to the coming of the Christ-Child, has signally failed in it's first attempt to heal the sick and cure the blind, for after sixteen attempts to cure cancer it utterly failed. It's value, now must be one the wane. Those two-bit congressmen, who, before political fortune hit them, were only cheap slum hangers-on, should not overlook the fact that respectable colored families would consider themselves very much degraded to be forced to accept such trash as themselves on social equality. "Nothing makes a man so socially strong as plenty of hard cash," comes from an Eastern exchange. We suppose it would advocate, "if you cannot get plenty of hard cash honestly why then get it." The man who depends upon hard cash to make him "socially and morally strong" is in the very outset an unscrupulous scoundrel. In some people's ideas, at least, "the clothes make the man," but to those persons we would like to ask, "how about the 'sawciety' woman dressed in decollette style?" They certainly cannot in such cases say, "clothes makes the woman," for she has not enough on to either make or unmake her. The Santa Fe Railroad recently sent Commander Booth-Tucker a check for $5,000. Mrs. Booth-Tucker was killed on that railroad in a wreck, and although the Commander put in no claim for damages the railway company voluntarily paid him that amount, quite a fitting thing to do, and yet what memories the receiving of it must have called up. Justice Cann's court has been having a siege with young burglars and nine were released by him pending good behavior. When the boys were arrested a small drayload of plunder, which they had stolen and concealed, was brought to headquarters with them. These nine boys come from respectable families and are all over fourteen years old. The police should keep a sharp watch over them and should the offence be repeated their punishment ought to be severe enough to prove a lesson to other boys like disposed. "A stitch in time saves nine." It has recently transpired that Grand Rapids, Michigan, is undergoing a siege of political disinfection. The city council has been convicted of receiving bribes, and disgrace has fallen upon many well up in the city's social and political life. Their trouble might be termed the 'Water Graft,' as it had it's inception in the manner of supplying the city with water. It is a pity, yet these things like wild grass in a flower bed, will creep in. There are other cites, however, that have had the cover lifted, and behold much was as it that should not have been, and that too just where it was most expected not to have been. Perhaps the "New York Press" is right when it says, "It is just as foolish for a girl, who can make her own living, to get married as for a man who cannot." When such ideas become common then you have a true case of "Race Suicide." God Almighty intended that men and women should get married whether by that nation they could become millionaires or not. The man who doesn't seem ableto make a living by himself, often with the aid of a good wife, makes an excellent living for both. The woman who refuses to become a wife and mother because she can earn $6.00 or $8.00 per week is unfit to be called a woman, and is undeserving of the respect of mankind. "The people of America," said an experienced financier, "are money mad," and it is not difficult to see the trend of his reasoning when calling to mind the threatened destruction of the most renowned natural object in America the Niagara Falls. Totally blind to the sublime in nature, with imaginations so deadened that even the thundering sound of Niagara itself appeals to them in vain, private corporations are seeking still to further disfigure it's beauty, not only by the presence of buildings and machinery, but also the diminution of the fall of water. No one can tell where it will end. The question is, will the state of New York take a definite stand to protect the Falls? If not can the government afford to see one of the grandest objects of Nature, one of our "noblest heritages," in time swept out of existence? There was once a woman whose vineyard, which was quite a large one, that became grown over with sage grass. Later this grass became dry, so she decided to burn it off and going to the lower end she set fire to it. The wind was blowing and to her surprise the flames soon rapidly spread beyond her control. With hands uplifted she stood dumb-founded looking over a blackened and smoking field, while many of the smaller grapevines were completely destroyed. The incident is not a little synonymous of Elder Smoot and the Mormon church of which he is a representative. Doubtless when he threw the fire of his political ambition before the public, he little thought that flames over which he and his church could have no control, were being kindled, and would sooner or later disclose a blackened field—smoking issue—and, it is to be hoped in the near future a destroyed institution.

Prior to his leaving Chicago he was all but overwhelmed by debt, but after considerable financiering he succeeded in straightening out the tangled web, and immediately left for Australia and a tour round the world. On arriving in Australia his was not a "flowery bed of ease," notwithstanding the fact that he is Elijah the Second as disappointments have met him on every hand. Recently he made an uncompromisary remark about Edward VII. King of England, and at once every door in the country was closed against him, and personal violence threatened him on every side. He finally took refuge in the American consul's office, and was advised by him to return to the United States at once lest bodily harm be done him. Verily, verily, "the way of the transgressor is hard." * * * Is Senator Burton Guilty? In finding Senator Joseph Ral the brilliant young man from Kansas of accepting bribes for aiding into the government, the verdict is vultical precedent in the history of States. Senator Burton was indisfederal grand jury in St. Louis, and he was not compelled to stand by the United States Senate adjournment he surrendered himself at once and began a few days ago with the suits. That Senator Burton was guilty in Missouri is a Democrat most plain to be seen.

The o came in the trial of Senator I was made much of. In finding Senator Joseph Ralph Burton, the brilliant young man from Kansas, gunity of accepting bribes for aiding in defrauding the government, the verdict is without political precedent in the history of the United States. Senator Burton was indicted by the federal grand jury in St. Louis, and though he was not compelled to stand trial until the United States Senate adjourned, yet he surrendered himself at once and the trial began a few days ago with the above results. That Senator Burton was found guilty in Missouri is a Democratic trick almost plain to be seen. It is campaign bunkum pure and simple, and it is to be regretted that this country is so divided against itself that a man in one state cannot expect justice, if charged with a crime, and tried in another, provided the two states be separated by what is commonly known as "Mason and Dixon's line." Senator Burton is from Republican Kansas, while Missouri is a Democratic hot-bed, if therefore, Democratic Missouri could do something to throw political odium on Republican Kansas she would willingly do it whether there was or was not any justice in it. The opportunity came in the trial of Senator Burton and was made much of. Immigrants Should Scatter Out.

It would seem that there are in the neighborhood of one million immigrants from foreign countries who annually come to the United States, and the great majority of them after landing in Castle Garden, and homes in New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New Jersey, thus overcrowding those states with foreigners, who are deplorably ignorant of our laws and customs. The authorities are puzzled as to how to get those emigrants scattered over our vast domain, and thereby the more easily assimilate them to our citizenship. Foreigners as a general rule refuse to get very far from the Atlantic coast, and will insist on living in colonies, which is not only detrimental to themselves, but detrimental to the country to which they have come, and if they will not in the future scatter out among the various states and territories, congress should at once close the emigration gates and permit no more to come until those we have already admitted become thoroughly Americanized. * * * He Should Be Banished. That Chicago lawyer, Warren who has begun proceedings That Chicago lawyer, Warren B. Wilson, who has begun proceedings against the United States, the Canal Company of France, and the Republic of Panama and all others concerned in the construction of the Panama Canal, which evidently is prompted by a heavy fee paid him by the Colombian Republic, should be driven out of the country. A man having no more interest in his country than that exhibited by Wilson is unfit to possess the rights of citizenship in the country in which he lives. Wilson is not exactly a traitor, but he is a renegade, who is prepared to sell his soul or sacrifice his country's interest for the sake of a few paltry dollars in the shape of a fee paid him by a hostile country. America just now seems to be quite overrun with that class of so-called citizens, and the sooner the federal authorities begin a weeding out of them the better for the entire country. * * * United States Senator Guilty.

The man elected to office in these latter years wants the office not so much for the salary that it pays as for the amount of money he can illegally get from the public It is pronounced by some "a graft," by some a "business transaction," and by others a "clever manipulation," but the truth of the whole mater is, it is a public fraud, and the man guilty of it should be sent to the penitentiary for life. When one will spend $2,000 to have himself elected a member of a city council, for which he only gets $1,800 all told in salary, he is doing so for the express purpose of stealing everything in sight or for public plunder in general: When one will spend hundreds of dollars to be elected to a seat in a legislature, for which he only gets $300.00, it is plain to be seen he expects to sell his soul to every man that comes along that has a scheme to rob the state, and thereby not only get a return of the money he has expended but make a fortune besides. Such has not been done by all members of city councils or members of legislatures, but it is so frequently done that the legislative condition of this country is, to say the least, in an alarming state. * * * Eldridge Befriended a Brute. The capture of Harry C. El the escaped prisoners from the tertiary of California, was qui and yet by no means clever. caped from prison after a d The capture of Harry C. Eldridge, one of the escaped prisoners from the Folsam penitentiary of California, was quite unexpected and yet by no means clever. Eldridge escaped from prison after a desperate fight with the guards on the morning of July 27, 1903, and has been at large ever since. He might have fled the country, sailed for Africa or some other foreign land, and lived and died unknown, so far as the authorities of this country were concerned, but, like all criminals, he seemed to want to hang around his old haunts, and though he once went as far east as Nebraska, he immediately returned to the coast, and after hanging about in California and Oregon came to Seattle, and having some money, found a man whom he took into his confidence, and according to his story, fed and clothed him during the winter, but when the money was out the man peached on him, and he is now again behind the bars at Folsom. It is well that such desperate characters be in prison, but the wretch who having been maintained all winter by Eldridge that surrendered him to the authorities, is a hundred times more criminal than Eldridge himself. Spokane Had A Similar Case. A parallel case recently occurred kane, where was found a young man had escaped from a Canadian prison to Spokane and was doing well, recognized by a cousin who met him street, and at once wrote to the authorities who came, arrested him after paying $50.00 into the court a money, started for home with their serve out a twenty year sentence judge administered a severe lecture informing cousin telling him that the he had received was blood-money every dollad should burn holes in It Such men are without sense of homhood or humanity, and it would be send them to prison on general print A parallel case recently occurred in Spokane, where was found a young man who had escaped from a Canadian prison, gone to Spokane and was doing well, but was recognized by a cousin who met him on the street, and at once wrote to the Canadian authorities who came, arrested him, and after paying $50.00 into the court as reward money, started for home with their man to serve out a twenty year sentence. The judge administered a severe lecture to the informing cousin telling him that the money he had received was blood-money and that every dollad should burn holes in his body. Such men are without sense of honor, manhood or humanity, and it would be well to send them to prison on general principles. * * * BROOKS INTERVIEW. Here is an interview from We Brooks, a white farmer of Oglethorny Georgia which he was inveigle Here is an interview from Weldon P. Brooks, a white farmer of Oglethorpe county. Georgia, which he was inveigled into making to a deputy United States marshal, who was getting evidence in the peonage cases. "Labor is scarce and trifling. The Negroes have gone to the railroads, mines and the cities. They won't keep anything, and would rather loaf, gamble and steal than to work. They don't fear disgrace, and jail and chain gang hold no terrors for them as they are fed there. They are impudent, and the education makes fools of them. The federal courts won't allow us to whip them, and claims they are just as good before the law as we are. Some low white men, lower than the Negroes, associate with them. These men who work and get paid as the Negroes do, stir them up, put the devil in them and if a white man whips a Negro he tells his wife, she tells her white paramour, and the latter gets the Negro to bring suit in the federal courts. This is an outrage; it interferes with our labor. We must keep our labor in submission. The trouble is that white people are divided. Some will pay a Negro too much and take too much impudence from him. This Negro question is a hard one, and I don't know how it will be settled. We may have to kill them off, but they are the best laborers. We can't use machinery. The federal courts and the low whites make the Negroes think they are as good as me, as good as my sister, and they want to prove it. Then comes rape and lynching. Of course, the white men are free with Negro women, and compel submission from them if necessary, but it is an unwritten law that no matter what the white man does to the Negro woman, the Negro man must not so much as look at a white woman; if he does, he can take the consequences." Was ever anything published so revolting to Christian civilization and yet blood thirsty Southern Democratic whelps in congress are eternally slandering the president for entertaining a colored man as much their mental, moral and educational superior as they are to the Chimpanzee. When such moral lepers as the men from the South in congress refuse to accept the Negro socially he has a good and sufficient reason for doing so—the Negro would no more permit such skunks into their homes than they would an untamed gorilla, and if he did he would expect to see the females of his family, from the cradle to the grave raped and the males shot down if they offered any resistance. This man's wife has left him on account of his Negro mistress.

Athens, Ga., reports general progress of our people, and that they are engaged as contractors, store-keepers, merchants, and tailors. Brandon, Miss., reports conditions fairly good.

The other third have theirs under mortgage, and they make money but do not seem to know how to use it advantageously. A League will be organized. Augusta, Ga., reports colored people engaged in grocery, dry-goods, and shoe stores, all of which are fairly supported, particularly so by the whites. Not less than 500 own their homes, and the value of properties in city and counties is over one million dollars. They will have a Business League.

He is well patronized and carries a very fine stock. They have two Business Leagues. The report from Forsyth, Ga., says our people are engaged in all lines of business, but are not receiving support as they should from the members of the race. This is caused by lack of confidence, partly by slack or unbusinesslike methods. The feeling between the races is fairly good and gives encouragement. They have no Business League. Pushmataha, Ala., reports population to be about 4,000. They are engaged in farming, ginning cotton, grinding corn, merchants, distillers of turpentine and lumbering.

J., reports population of 1,000, and the number of people engaged in business eight. All are doing well and getting good support.
