Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name] VOL. XI. NO. 1 POLITICAL POT=PIE The state of Washington should congratulate itself over the fact that it has a candidate for the vice-presidency of the United States, even though it be a Democratic candidate. Indications point strongly to the fact that at the present time the Hon. THE MEADOWS George Turner of Spokane will be nominated for the vice-presidency on the Democratic ticket with Judge Parker, whom it seems almost certain will be nominated for the presidency. Once before the state of Washington presented a vice-presidential candidate to the National Democratic Convention in the person of James Hamilton Lewis, but without serious consideration. --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1904 The candidacy of Judge Turner, however, is assuming a serious aspect, and, if Judge Parker is nominated for president, which is almost certain, the Northwest stands a most excellent show of having a vice-presidential candidate in the person of Judge George Turner. * * * George Turner of Spokane has enjoyed a brilliant political career since he first came M. H. HONORABLE GEORGE TURNER, to the state of Washington some fifteen or more years ago. He arrived at Spokane with a Federal appointment in his pocket and for a number of years was a member of the supreme bench of this territory. After having served out his term of office he retired to private life and for many years was the Republican warhorse of Eastern Washington. He measured arms in the Republi- --- UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 1904 PRICE FIVE CENTS can convention at Spokane in 1894 with Andrew F. Burleigh, and did not come out second best. His name has ever been prominent in the political affairs of the state, and in 1897 when the "Free Silver" combination had control of the political destinies of the state, he was elected United States senator, and in that capacity made a most brilliant record. Since his retirement from the senate he has been twice honored by the Presi- The image provided does not contain any text. It appears to be a blank or empty space with no visible content. dent of the United States, which has popularized him even more than idid his senatorial toga. In the East Senator-Turner is looked upon as one of the brainymen of the country, and his Democratic friends are inclined to believe that it would greatly strengthen the presidential campaign on the part of the Democratic party if he were nominated with George Turner as vice-president. --- There is no denying the fact that he would make a brilliant campaign if nominated, and if any man can turn the Northwest and Western states in general into the Democratic column that man is George Turner of Spokane. Democrats, however, always have the happy faculty of doing the wrong thing at the right time and they may at this time defeat the aspirations of Washington's favorite son for the vice-presidential nomination, but if they do they will regret it, for the Democratic candidates will not stand a ghost of a show to carry a single Western state unless one or the other of them hails from the West. Senator Turner is being received by Democrats all over the state with open arms just now, and if he is not nominated for vice-president he stands a splendid show of being nominated for governor of this state, and if he is, even Republicans are predicting that he will be a sure winner. * * * Speaking about the Democratic gubernatorial nomination of this state, there seems to be a feeling among the Democrats that they can carry this state at the next general election, providing Senator Turner will accept the nomination for governor. Leading Democrats labor under the belief that he will accept if he is not nominated for vice-president and under such misapprehensions there have already sprung up a number of candidates for the lieutenant governorship. The leading candidates for the nomination are Van R. Pierson of King county and Henry Drum of Pierce county, with the odds in favor of the former. Van Pierson is unquestionably the most popular Democrat on the Sound; his former Republican proclivities to the contrary notwithstanding, and should the Democrats not lose their heads and nominate him for lieutenant governor he would get a great many Republican votes in King county, and after all the vote of King county is the key to the situation for either the Republicans or the Democrats carrying the state. If the Democrats should come to the mountains with 10,000 majority, and, if King county Republicans were a unit for the state ticket, that majority could be counteracted in King county alone. If, therefore, Van Pierson can be able to break down the enormous Republican majority of King county, and, at least cut it in two, there is no doubt but that the Democratic ticket, if it comes to the mountains with ten or twelve thousand majority, will stand a most excellent show of winning. On the other hand, if Henry Drum is nominated King county is certain to go overwhelmingly Republican, and Mr. Drum is not popular enough in his own county to even split the Republican vote there. Henry Drum is the same "old Democrat" who has been voting the Democratic ticket ever since the days of Andy Jackson, and, therefore, can expect to get nothing but that kind of Democratic votes, while Van Pierson is the "new idea" Democrat, if such a thing is possible in the Democratic party, and can safely expect a number of Republican votes if nominated. * * * While the Democratic party has some hopes of carrying the state, so far as the governor and lieutenant-governor are concerned, as well as some fond hopes of carrying a majority of the legislative ticket, yet they have no hopes whatever of even making a decent showing on the balance of the state ticket. Owing to the absolute certainty of the three Republican congressional nominees being elected no ambitious Democrat thus far has cared to sacrifice himself by accepting a nomination for congress in opposition to either of the Republican nom- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN inees. State Senator Tollman may be induced to take one of these nominations, but it is hardly probable. Had Mr. Humphrey been defeated in the Republican convention some Democratic nominee from King county might have stood a little show of being elected, but he was nominated, and, therefore, no one the Democrats might nominate in King county would be able to get more than the normal Democratic vote, which, to say the least, is very small. Candidates for the other part of the state ticket are veryq scarce, in fact there are none, and these nominations will go begging before they are made. * * * The first state election of the year has been pulled off in Oregon, and it is most decidedly in favor of the Republican party. The state of Oregon has frequently elected Democratic officials, but the voters thereof were not Democratically inclined this year, and, as a result, the state went 20,000majority Republican and elected the (two) congressmen by increased majorities—greater by far than ever before. This would seem to indicate that Roosevelt is exceedingly popular, especially in the West, which means a rousing majority in every state west of the Mississippi river. The expression down East, "As goes Maine so goes the country" has a sequel in the far West in, "As goes Oregon so goes the West." Washington state will give the Republican ticket a majority of not less than 20,000. * * * Had not Senator Turner been one of a group of politicians of both national and state fame that stood chatting in front of the "Post-Intelligencer" building one day this week, the supposition might have gone out that a political deal or understanding was being entered into by and between Hon. John L. Wilson and candidate Samuel H. Piles, who stood for fully an hour in close and apparently animated conversation one day this week, which diuhvirate was joined by C J. Smith, the well known business man of Seattle, and, who by the way, was the chief advocate of the senatorial candidacy of Samuel H. Piles. While the three men stood discussing matters apparently in the most friendly manner Senator Turner was espied coming up the street and the three hailed to him and he likewise joined the group. As the quartet stood enjoying the bright June sunshine they presented a political picture that would have been fit for the gods. Whether the political fortunes of the state were being weighed in a balance at that time or the financial fortunes of the Post-Intelligencer were being discussed, was a question. It will be remembered that at one time the Post-Intelligencer was owned by the Hon. George Turner, but he sold it to the Hon. John L. Wilson, which, it is said, he has very seriously regretted ever since. The two men, however, are personal friends though political enemies. That is to say, one is a rabid Republican and the other a rabid Democrat. Mr. Piles is a candidate for the United States senatorship and for a time he and Mr. Wilson scarcely "spoke as they passed by", but that breach has all been healed over and now they are fast personal and political friends and the political prophets are declaring that Piles will sooner or later withdraw from the senatorial contest in favor of Mr. Wilson. This, however, cannot be verified and if he intends making any such move it is a secret between himself and Mr. Wilson which they very carefully guard. * * * It is almost certain that George Turner will be the Democratic nominee for govern- JUNE 10, 1904. cr and it is now an important question who will be the nominee for lieutenant-governor. If Turner through any contingency should vacate the governor's chair it is of the highest importance that his successor should be a man thoroughly in sympathy with Democratic sentiment in favor of the proper control and regulation of railroads and other corporations. Some of the men mentioned for governor prior to the announcement of Turner's prabable acceptance of the nomination and now candidates for lieutenant-governor are known to be noncommittal on the railroad question and the common belief is that, they are opposed to a railway commission. No man should be nominated for lieutenant-governor who is not on record as an unflinching advocate of an appointive commission. The fact that some of these candidates had the confidence of the late Governor Rogers does not prove that they are not secretly in league with the railroads to defeat the will of the people. There are plenty of true-blue Democrats who can be trusted and there is no excuse for running any risk of being buncoed. To nominate a candidate for lieutenant-governor not thoroughly in sympathy with the desire of the people for relief from corporation rule would be to weaken Turner's candidacy by 10,000 votes and cause his defeat. The Statesman hopes that Senator Turner will take due care that no mistake of this character is made in the selection of his running mate.—Walla Walla Statesman (Dem.). RACES! RACES!! RACES!!!

William Steffin, who was on trial in the supreme court last Monday charged with selling intoxicants at Madison Park without a license was not convicted by a jury of twelve good men and true, for the reason, perhaps, that some of the men were not as true as they were purported to be. This man Steffins has been repeatedly breaking the law by selling intoxicants at the parks for a number of years and he still persists in doing the same thing in defiance of the law of the state as well as of the city. During his trial his attorneys went to the expense of having some of the vile stuff he sells analyzed to discover whether or not there was any alcohol in it. Whether or not the contents of the bottle that was analyzed was the same kind of stuff that he sells to the various visitors to the park is very questionable for for some reason the exact bottle was not in court. It is an open and notorious fact that Steffins has violated the law from time to time and it does seem remarkable that decent men should quibble over such outrages. In other words, with wives and children who weekly visit these parks, men will hang a jury when such a case is on trial and thereby give the violators of the law a license to ruin their own families. If Steffins cannot be closed up by law then he should be closed up by the Carrie Nation route. PRINTING PLANTS POOR PROPERTY. Last Saturday the gigantic printing plant of the Denny-Coryell Co., was sold by an auctioneer and not a very good auctioneer we must confess, but he calls himself that, and there is no use spoiling a good joke. This plant has been in existence for the past fifteen years and has grown from a one man plant to an almost a one-hundred man plant, but the stockholders claim it has never cleared any money and the principal stockholder, A. W. Denny, claims that he has sunk in the neighborhood of $50,000 trying to put it on a paying basis and yet it seems as far from it today as it was in the beginning. What, however, is intended to be gotten out of this is that this gigantic printing plant, which invoiced at $25,000, was a drag on the market at $5,000 which shows the printing business to be a poor one, the many printing plants in this city to the contrary notwithstanding. A few days ago the morning paper of this city spoke of the consternation that prevailed among the clerks of the county court house when it got noised among the employees that a time registering machine would be placed in each office for the especial purpose of keeping tab on the employees. No wonder consternation prevailed among the court house clerks on being informed that such a proceeding would be put in vogue, for if there be any class of clerks in this country that do not earn a third of what they get it is those who work at the court house. A business firm would take the work of the court house and have it performed with one-fourth as many clerks as are daily employed in the various departments on Profanity Hill. In other words, those employed there do not give the county on the whole one week with another, to exceed a fourth of the time they should do, and yet they get paid from $75 to $125 per month for three-fourths of their time spent THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN in idleness or in devising means to kill time and yet appear to be at work. Their threat to throw their voting strength against the county commissioners who would vote for such a proposition as the above should be called, and they be given an opportunity to vote as they threaten to do, and the time registering clock should be placed in each office and each clerk required to register his or her time on entering or leaving the office in which they are employed. Yea, further, the county commissioners should see to it that the employees there work while they are there, and they would be expected to work in a down town business office. SEATTLE'S BIG FIRE ANNIVERSARY. He or she who today takes one of Seattle's sight seeing cars and after a few hours speeding over the city would hardly think that fifteen years ago almost every business house in the city was completely destroyed by fire. Last Monday, June 6th, was the fifteenth anniversary of the great fire in Seattle, which, perhaps, was the greatest fire that ever occurred on the Pacific Coast, it destroying $20,000,000 worth of property. So much has been said about the "Seattle spirit" rising out of the ashes of that great fire that it is unnecessary to at this time recount it in these columns, but the Seattle citizens realizing that if they had to be equal to the emergency did so with a push, pluck and a vengeance and as a result Seattle is now the second largest city on the Pacific Coast and with fair prospects of within the next decade actually being the very largest. HOW TO ADVERTISE SEATTLE. A few days ago the Seattle Manufacturers' Association held its regular monthly meeting and discussed the advisability of advertising the articles manufactured in this city in the two big daily papers, and, strange to say, some of the men who have received the greatest benefits by the city, having been boomed by the newspapers were the most obstinate ones against advertising. Such men are sinecures and leeches who sit down and wait for somebody else to get a crowd together, and then take advantage of the opportunity and begin to peddle their wares to somebody else's crowd. If the members of the Association had gone a step further and not only advertised Seattle's manufactured articles in the daily papers, but took up some the leading weeklies as well they would have shown their good sense. Nothing has built up Seattle so rapidly as her newspapers. Seattle's tireless newspaper colony has constantly kept Seattle before the people, and as a result Seattle is the most talked of city in the United States, and yet the men who have obtained the greatest good from all this booming on the part of the newspapers are the first ones to speak unkindly of the efforts of the papers and refuse advertising therein unless they can be shown some direct results. You have your results in the millions of dollars that are being annually expended here by Eastern investors and the daily employment of thousands of workingmen on buildings and business enterprises. HON. W. A. CARLE CALLED EAST. Hon. W. A. Carle, who is a candidate for the appointment of postmaster of the Seattle postoffice, left for an extended visit with friends in the East and will be gone some sixty days or more. While absent he will visit New York City, Washington City and other prominent places. "I have an invitation from the president to call on him either at Washington or at his summer home and I intend doing so. I am a candidate for the postoffice and will better my chances while there if possible." LAKE WASHINGTON PARKS RUINED. A righteous indignation prevails in this city among the better class of citizens over the fact that the city council has granted a license to sell liquor in the Madison Park pavilion. The man getting the license proposes to go a step further and make it a beer garden. In other words, a vile resort where questionable characters will congregate day and night and drink and carouse twenty-four hours of each day and seven days of each week. That practically ends the Lake Washington Parks for family resorts, for, if a liquor license be granted to Madison Park, it is perfectly natural that the same will be granted to the other parks, and those parks will naturally become the tenderloin district of the city. The city councilman who would vote for such a license is unfit to be called an American father. SEATTLE PROMISED DOLLAR GAS. And now Seattle is to have dollar gas again. Once before she was promised dollar gas and for a time got more than she was promised, for she got sixty cent gas, but it did not last long. Seattle is now getting $1.25 gas, which is pretty nearly as cheap as any company is going to make it. The new franchise granted last Monday night to the American Improvement Company to supply the city with gas, which it is supposed will be sold for $1.00 per thousand, may for a time keep up its agreement, but the probabilities are that it will sell its franchise to the old company either directly or indirectly and instead of the citizens having $1.25 gas they will have to pay $1.50 in order that the company may get back what it lost in buying out its new competitor. With the proper provisions in franchises granted to companies there is no need of but one of such institutions in this or any other city. It is true that competition is the life of trade, but it is also true that, division breeds disaster. Just why Officer Hubbard should take such excited exception to being called a liar in court is more than The Republican can explain. Evidently the officer has never heard himself testify in the police court. Few papers do more towards building up the city than the Seattle Daily Times; for in showing off the beautiful homes of the city its editor prints one picture of someone else's home and three of his own! There are perhaps more self-opinionated asses somewhere in the world, but they are by no means in Christendom.

OUR NATIONALITY IS QUESTIONED. The following letter from Spokane, Wn., has been received at this office: Spokane, Wash., May 26, 1904. Editor Wilkins—We have a bet on hand here. The stake is $25. I have one end of the bet and a friend of mine has the other. I bet that the Seattle Republican is a white people's paper, run by a white man for and in the interest of white people. My opponent holds that it is a Negro newspaper run by a Negro man in the interest of Negroes. In a debate in a barber shop yesterday we agreed to leave it to the Chicago Conservator. Will you please tell us through the columns of your valuable paper which of us is right? If there is any charges send the bill to me. Please don't use my name in print. Answer—We are not sure that we can answer that problem correctly. The Seattle Republican is a good newspaper and as its name indicates a political sheet, but we have never noticed anything in its columns to indicate whether it was run in the interests of one race or the other. In fact we have never known it to take any interest in the race question one way or the other, though it not infrequently refers to the Negro vote as being controlled by it. The paper seems to be edited by a couple of the Cayton family, whose ability is unquestionable, but whether they are of the Negro persuasion or have sprung from some other race of people we have no means of knowing by the columns of the Seattle Republican. We would advise you to send a committee of three reputable citizens to Seattle to investigate before either of you pay over the cash to the other. Our bill is $63.45. Kindly remit at once.—Chicago Conservator. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Seattle Republican is published in the interest of the American people in particular and the human family in general. It draws no color line and will permit none to be drawn on it. It has quite accomplished its aim if it is so edited that men have to go beyond its columns to satisfy their imputent curiosity of finding out the nationality of its editors. The jim-crow disease so common to papers and periodicals published by Negroes has not as yet innoculated either its blood or its brains, and it hopes it never will. It's a shameful prevarication to charge The Republican of at any time having alleged that it controls the Negro vote. It is not in the vote controlling business and would not control either the black or white vote even if it could. It is simply trying to be a political newspaper for the state of Washington and not a political machine to deliver the colored or the white vote to any party or faction. Evil to him who evil thinks. The publishing of a newspaper to the management hereof is a business and by no means sentimentalism. Fair minded men of this state know The Seattle Republican always speaks out when the Negro is treated unfairly. When the Negro learns to do business as other nationalities do they will find a general improvement in their finances all along the line. The average Negro in conducting a newspaper reminds one of a pet monkey in his mistress' boudoir. After dressing himself up in her ribbons and laces, powdering his face, parting his hair in the middle and parading himself before the mirror (public) caps the climax by putting his "pictur" in his own paper that his readers may also see what a great and fine looking man he is. The Seattle Republican is appreciated by educated men and women, white and black. Can the Conservator say as much? If so its columns from time to time do not show it. Wise and Otherwise The cost would be insignificant, as measured against present waste, for city street sprinklers. Election is not so far away but that it becomes apparent that there will be a third party nominated. Lawyer Edward Brady steps high these days. It's a boy. Born at 5:30 p. m. on Saturday last. Eight pounds. "Ambulance chasers" are not all lawyers, not by a long shot. Doctors who are retained by railroads and street car companies are sometimes thus labeled. By-paths all lead to the Democratic party has often been said. Reformers, Grangers, Greenbackers, Farmers Alliance, Straightout Middle of the Road, Populists, People's Party, Silver Republicans, Independents, and What Nots are all tented under one canvas—in the minds of Blethen, Turner et al. Meantime the Grand Old Republican party still does business at the same old stand. Sometimes—too often—a blundering constituency elects to an office a man so unfited that he becomes a personal, party and community disgrace. These degenerates flatter themselves that they are popular, and foolishly believe that if they make a good deal of noise by expelling audible if not sensible sounds from their lungs, they pass as men of brains. Be not deceived. Even an attorney who attempts to use the office of city councilman to gain police court practice is soon properly measured by a discerning public. Fault cannot be found because a lawyer defends a person accused of crime,nomatter how guilty that person may be, any more than a doctor can be criticized who prescribes for the most loathsome disease, or the preacher for ministering to the sinful soul of the most degraded villian. In either case the professional man may undertake to render legitimate service, but no more. All these remarks are only leading up to say that the lawyer who drags his dirty practice and his filthy clients into his official life and into homes through sensational newspaper interviews, needs something done to him by the fool-killer, something that will stay done.

JOHN SHEPICH, Guardian of the Estate of Paul Stiglich, an Insane Person. Seven Days' Current Comment and Observation GOULD BREAKS INTO POLITICS. George Gould, the favorite son of the once famous Jay Gould, threatens to break into politics. In other words, he has an itching to represent his district in Congress and may be a candidate for that honor two years from now, if not this year. Such intentions on the part of George Gould have caused an unusual amount of caustic comment on the part of the various newspapers of the country. If Gould desires to enter politics why not he as well as any one else? He perhaps would do no more harm in Congress than a hundred and one others who are sent there biennially and doubtless would do no more good, but the idea that one is either too rich or too poor to go to Congress or hold any other public office is ridiculously absurd, and it not, or should not become part of the political program of this country. BAYNE PREDICTS JAPANESE SUCCESS. William George Bayne, the president of the municipal council of Shanghai, who is at present a visitor in this country and who recently arrived on one of the Oriental steamers in a newspaper interview predicts that the war between Japan and Russia will last but a few weeks more. Within a week or so he feels absolutely certain that Port Arthur will be taken by the Japanese and that having been accomplished the war will be practically ended. If the Japanese government is successful in this war against Russia it will make it the formidable ruler of the Orient and both England and the United States will find a competitor in commercial lines on the part of Japan that they had least thought of in the past. Japan is aggressive as well as energetic and her merchants and manufacturers are interesting themselves in every industry common to England and the United States, and it can be but a short time before she will become a sharp competitor of both of these countries, and especially if Russia's progress in the Orient is checked. RIOT AND REBELLION IN COLORADO. The riotous and almost rebellious state of affairs that is existing in the state of Colorado is sufficiently alarming to warrant the National Government in issuing a proclamation placing the state under martial law. Both the miners and the mine owners seem to be trying to see which one can outdo the other in lawlessness with the odds quite in favor of the miners. The dastardly act on the part of the miners last Monday in blowing up a train and killing some twenty odd non-union miners should be punished by every one who was connected with it being themselves hanged until dead. The whole question as to the strike in Colorado resolves itself to whether the mine operators have a right to operate their mines as they desire or whether the miners have a legal right to say who shall or shall not work in the mines and they certainly have the right to induce others not to work unless their demands be conceded, but they have, have no right to use violence when others do attempt to work, nor to dictate to the mine owners how they shall operate the various mines. The laboring men in Colorado and every other state in this Union are largely in the majority and they can, if they so desire, elect every official in every state and county in these United States as well as the National officials from among their own ranks who will enact laws of their liking, and if they ' Current Comment and do not do it they themselves are at fault and must abide by the laws that are made by the middle classes. ASSAULTING WHITE WOMEN. In the whole United States there are 3,000,000 Negro males over five years of age. In the past 12 months, 38 Negroes committed the crime of assault, for which 30 were lynched and eight legally executed. So that the ratio of the crime is less than one to 100,000 of the colored males in the whole country. In Chicago in the same 12 months, the same crime was committeed by 63 white men, or at the ratio of one assault to each 12,000 white males over five years of age in that city. These statistics are not quoted in praise of the abstention of Negroes, but as an interesting contribution to the discussion of race tendencies. EX-CONGRESSMAN MURRAY CONVICTED. The recent conviction of Senator Burton has a sequel in the still more recent conviction of Ex-Congressman George W. Murray of Souht Carolina, on the charge of forgery, and a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary imposed upon him. Mr. Murray served one term in Congress and was considered one of the brightest and most brilliant minds of that august assembly. RAILROAD ACCIDENTS VERY LARGE. During the months of October, November and December, 1903, 1166 persons were killed, and 13,319 injured either by railroad accidents or while entering or leaving cars. This was the largest fatality record the railroads have ever reported for so short a time. DIAMOND FIELDS CAUSE TROUBLE. That there will be trouble over South Africa for years to come is quite evident so long as it is producing nine percent of the world's supply of diamonds. The year ending June, 1903, reported the output of the mines for the year past 2,475,802 carats, valued at $25,507,024. SULPHUR COMES FROM SICILY. Recent figures tend to prove that Sicily is the world's largest producer of sulphur. During the year 1903 she exported 475,508 tons; one-third of which was sent directly to the United States. STATE PRESS John Miller Murphy, the rather versatile editor of the Washington Standard felt called upon in his last issue to remark upon the actions of the Methodist General Conference in its endeavors to eliminate from its constitution anything having the appearance of race prejudice, in the following vein: "The Methodist General Conference, lately held at Los Angeles, Cal., amended the church constitution so as to admit election of bishops of other than the white race. While this restriction may be ignored, it is hardly possible that any colored candidate will "pass" without the most rigid inquiry as to qualifications and investigation as to kink of hair and shade of skin-tint." Murphy is always trying to stir up strife when there is no need of it and this is a fair sample of his cussedness. observation AND ATKINSON WILL BE ELECTED. It is an actual fact that John D. Atkinson, Republican candidate for attorney general has been admitted to the bar", says the Olympia State Capitol. Yes, and it is an actual fact that John D. Atkinson will be elected by 16,000 majority and will give the state just as good an administration of its legal affairs as it has ever had. AN AGED COUPLE COMES WEST. Speaking about the new settlers arriving in the Northwest the Chehalis Bee-Nugget says: "Last week Henry Altnow, aged 92, and his wife aged 89, arrived at Woodburn, Oregon, and will there locate and with the country. The new settlers hail from Minnesota." It had always occurred to us that Oregon was rather antiquated, but we had never thought that it required such aged couples as the above to build up the country. ROSS IS MUCH WANTED. The Seattle Republican suggests that Castle Rock select "her favorite son E. W. Ross" to deliver a Fourth of July oration. It would be a graceful compliment to Mr. Ross and we trust that a hint to the committee will be sufficient.—Castle Rock "Leader." COUNTRY PRESS THE MAINSPRING. It is a truism that the country press more closely reflects the sentiment of its community than does the big daily of a metropolitan section represent the feelings of all within that circle. There is no need to fear a bolt in the rural districts. We note that in Eastern Washington supporting the Republican ticket are these papers, at least: Cle Elum Echo, Palmer Mountain Prospector, Republic News-Miner, Methow Valley News, Eatonville Eagle, Hartline Standard, Wenatchee Republic, Ellensburg Capital, Waterville Empire, Garfield Enterprise, Walla Walla Union, Prosser Bulletin, Colfax Gazette, Yakima Herald, Yakima Republic and Wenatchee Advance. A few of the so-called "independent" weeklies show spots of off color. These are frequently found to be attached to one kind of apronstring or another to the "monopoly" which howls for more railroad assessments while talking down its own, which perverts interviews for effect while claiming candor, which weeps for the unfortunate while exacting its own tolls.—Spokane "Outburst." AT RANDOM. The work that counts is the work that's done, The men who rule are the men who lead; The man who aims with an empty gun, Ne'er causes the bounding stag to bleed.— Chinook Observer. When the czar of Russia viewed his immense army the other day and declared that it presented a fine appearance, it was before the soldiers had encountered a Japanese army. If there is any truth in the dispatches from the seat of war the Russian soldiers generally look pretty seedy after one encounter with the Brownies.

Vanderbilt estate, like a wedge the multimillionaire has been forced to surrender to the Afro-American owner. He has agreed not only to pay the former slave some hundreds of times what his six acres of thin soil is worth with its three room cabin, but will build a house elsewhere for him and keep it in repair for the rest of his life. It is said that the proximity of the tumble-down cabin to the mansion built by the millionaire led him to make an offer of $65,000 for the property, but Mr. Collins, the Afro-American owner, refused it and waited patiently for another offer which he knew would come, and he was right. —Exchange'e. WASHINGTON A WONDER. Superintendent VanCleve of the Mansfield, Ohio schools, on his return to Ohio, after a visit to the famous Tuskegee Institute, is reported to have said in a public speech: "I never stood before a man who thrilled me so much as this builder of a remarkable institution. I was in a party of four who were received by the cordial Negro in his home and during the few minutes we were with him I was amazed at his conversation and the tale he told us of his Tuskegee monument. He delights in revealing the progress of the colored man of the South and it seems his only ambition in life is to better the condition of his fellows—to stimulate the mind and render the body a fit habitation for the Soul. That Booker T. Washington has such powerful strength, physically and mentally, startles America today. "To hear and read of his works is convincing and marvelous, to see what he has done is sublime. To fully understand his interest in the great black race is impossible. Considering his rearing, his schooling, ethical and religious refinement, he is a genius, the strongest and noblest man south of Mason and Dixon's line. To be in his company and converse with him is a pleasure. To watch his face brighten and to notice the emphasis he lays upon the importance of his peerless institution is inspiring, too impressive for words." NEGRO DAY AT THE FAIR.

Has Secured High Standing at the Minnesota Bar and in Politics. The Bemidji Minn.) Daily Pioneer has celebrated its first anniversary by a review of the past and present of the interesting city of which it is a part. Among the subjects treated by it there is the following: Charles W. Scrutchin, attorney at law, ranks as one of our leading lawyers, and enjoys a large and constantly growing practice at the Beltrami County bar. Mr. Scrutchin has the unique distinction of being a favorite counsel of the army of woodsmen who are employed in the logging camps in the vicinity of Bemidji. He is without a doubt the ablest colored lawyer in the Northwest, well grounded in the law, clear and concise of statement, and of judicial temperament; broad minded, and generous to a fault, but conservative and studious of habit. Mr. Scrutchin was born in Richmond, Va., Sept. 11, 1866. His parents both were natives of that State. At two years of age he was taken to Atlanta, Ga., by his parents and spent his early boyhood in that city. When young Charles was ten years of age, his mother, who was then living in the family of Gen. Frank Wheaton, removed him to Spokane, Wash., where he attended the public schools, passing through the grades and graduating from the high school. In 1886 he entered the State university of Washington at Seattle, and graduated therefrom in 1890 with the degree of A. B. Scrutchin, in the same year, took the examination and entered the law department of the Michigan State University at Ann Arbor, graduating from that institution with the degree of LL. B, in 1903. He took a postgraduate course at the same university, and received the degree of master of laws in 1894, and was admitted to legal practice the same year. In 1898 he took up his abode in this city. Mr. Scrutchin owns the cosy office building occupied by him on Second avenue, also a residence in Carson's addition. He was married Aug. 27, 1900, and enjoys a very comfortable and happy home. He is domestic in his tastes, and very fond of good literature, and possesses one of the finest law libraries in Bemidji. Mr. Scrutchin is well liked by the citizens generally of Bemidji, and quite popular with the Beltrami County bar, and is one of the vice-presidents of the county bar association. He is at all times genial, nothing seems to ruffle his temper, and he The Big Store Annual June Continues Monday, June 13th— ter—ter—than ever before.

He is public spirited, at times interested in the public weal. Although far removed from any contact with his brethren, the colored race has no more ardent champion of their rights than Mr. Scrutchin. He was signally honored by his alma mater in 1900, when in response to an invitation, he delivered the graduating address in June of that year, gaining encomiums from all who listened to his masterly address.
