Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 2 POLITICAL POT=PIE The state Democratic convention has been called to meet in Bellingham, August 2nd, which gives ample time to the delegates to the National Convention at St. Louis to return and fix up their fences for the state convention. This of course places the time of holding the King county convention somewhere in July. Inasmuch as King county has a candidate for lieutenant governor it is barely possible that the convention will be held as early as convenient after the national convention has adjourned. \* \* \* Hon. M. B. Maloy, the well known Douglas county Republican, who is Registrar of the land office at Waterville, and who was recently nominated for superior court judge of that district, has declined the nomination and will continue holding his Federal position. The nomination was forced on Mr. Maloy, he having at no time expressed any desire for it, and after duly considering it he decided not to accept. * * * The Coon episode, which has been the political gossip of the state for the past two weeks, for the present seems to have quieted down, though it may be the usual quiet before the storm. While no direct charges have been made against Mr. Coon, yet a good deal has been passed from mouth to mouth concerning his past record, which, if so, would reflect on the Republican party, and put it on the defensive. Mr. Coon's friends deny the whispered allegation and say they have proof sufficient to satisfy the minds of the other candidates and the people of his innocence. No paper in this state has made any direct charges against him, but the Oregonian of Oregon did publish a story concerning him, which Mr. Coon or his friends should demand the proof, and if it cannot produce its proof, then it is the duty of Mr. Coon to begin both a criminal and a damage libel suit against the Oregonian. * * * The labored efforts on the part of the Times to throw the entire responsibility of the Coon episode on Hon. John L. Wilson and Chairman E. B. Palmer has fallen flat, for even Mr. Coon's friends deny that either of them had anything in the world to do with the circulation of the story or had anything to do with digging it up. While it may have been a political blunder to have nominated a governor, a lieutenant governor, a secretary of state, a state auditor and a presidential elector all from the northwest, yet that was no funeral of either John L. Wilson or his friends, who hope to see him go to the United States senate. He was not a delegate to the state convention nor was the delegation from King county sent to the state convention in his senatorial interest. There is no doubt but that the governorship should have gone to Eastern Washington and the logical candidate for that nomination was Hon. John D. Atkinson, but he was not nominated for the governorship—the position he sought—but his friends are perfectly willing to abide by the decision of the convention and will as loyally support the SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1904 Hon. A. E. Mead as they would have Mr. Atkinson. So far as Mr. Wilson is concerned The Republican is of the opinion that he would have willingly supported anyone nominated at that convention with the bare exception of perhaps W. M. Ridpath. He certainly has no personal or political objections to Mr. Coon and the efforts of the Times to charge him with trying to throw Coon off the ticket were false from beginning to end and the Editor of the Times knew the statement was false at the time. It was published not so much perhaps to injure Mr. Wilson as to play even with Editor Brainerd with whom the editor of the Times was in mortal editorial combat. The Republican delegation to the National Convention, which meets in Chicago June 21st is about ready to leave for its destination. It is rumored that Senator Lev Ankeny will be chosen chairman of the delegation and that Charles Sweeney will be selected as national committeeman. Jim Ashton of Tacoma is also a candidate. The friends of Senator Ankeny are in the majority on the delegation but it is not believed that he will take any part in the fight as he has had all of the political fight he wants and he will let each individual member of the delegation vote as he sees fit for the chairman thereof and the national committeeman. *** The banquet held by the Republicans last Thursday evening, which was given by Chairman Palmer and Treasurer Hoge, was well attended and matters of much importance were freely discussed by the various candidates. Among other things that were decided upon was that the campaign should not be opened before the 15th of September and thereby allowing only six weeks to campaign the state and that the headquarters of the state central committee should remain in Seattle. Chairman Palmer was assured by the candidates that he would be given every assistance in the power of each one of them in order that the campaign might be successfully conducted. LEGAL SIDE LIGHTS Grinding Out Lawyers The law department of the State University graduated a number of students this week, and another batch of attorneys will soon be seeking those whom they may devour, which means anyone that is foolish enough to go into court on account of some petty grievance. There are a whole lot of people in this world who seem to think that they can get satisfaction out of their fellow men in no other way save by the judge and jury route, and they do this without stopping to count the cost of obtaining such satisfaction. A clerk of the superior court not long since remarked to a representative of this paper that he had paid some attention to the costs following the cases of which he kept a record, and in almost every instance the attorney's fees, the cost of the court and the time lost in attending the trial of such cases more than consumed whatever was gained on either side, and, in some instances more than consumed everything that was being contended for by both sides. Going UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS to court is unquestionably the last thing that a poor man should do. * * * He Took His Socks Back Speaking about going to court for trivial things, a lady stenographer, who, by the way, works for one of the largest firms in this city, tells of a storekeeper in a neighboring town that sold a pair of socks and a few other smaller articles to a man who pretended to be working at a neighboring mill. In other words, the man almost got the things under false pretenses. The merchant on enquiring into the situation found that the man had nothing coming to him at the mill, he having drawn all his wages. The merchant, therefore, pursued him, and on coming up to him proceeded to give him a genuine drubbing, and also took the articles purchased in his store away from him. The fellow being not much of a fighter thought he had gotten off easy, but on coming to town he told an attorney of the incident and the attorney induced him to file a damage case against the merchant, which fellow did, and it cost the merchant $150.00 damages, to say nothing of the cost of court and loss of time during the trial. The merchant may have gotten a good deal of satisfaction out of licking that fellow and the fellow may have gotten a good deal of satisfaction out of getting a verdict for $150.00 personal damages, but when the attorneys got theirs there was nothing more to it. * * * Page's Proposition Accepted Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Herman W. Craven took a mean advantage of Thomas D. Page, the well known attorney, last Saturday, and not satisfied with having taken advantage of him he gave him the "horse laugh" after he had successfully done so. There were a couple of men in the county jail charged with burglary and they had employed Page to defend them. The burglary had been committed some months ago, and the prosecuting witness had sold out his business and left town, and that too without the knowledge of the prosecuting attorney or the attorney of the accused men. The case was to be called next week and Mr. Craven began looking up his witness, and to his horror discovered that the prosecuting witness had gone to Oregon and his exact whereabouts in the webfoot state was unknown. On Saturday, as the prosecuting attorney was about to have the case set for trial Mr. Page, with a sheepish look on him eased around to Mr. Craven's side and offered o allow his client to plead guilty to petty larceny if the burglary charge was dismissed. Craven knowing the circumstances said that he would consider the matter. He went immediately to his office, drew up a charge for petty larceny, and then returned to the court and at once agreed to allow the men to plead to the he would dismiss the more grave one lesser offense with the understanding that In his motion to dismiss this he set forth the fact that the prosecuting witness had fled the the country and that his whereabouts was unknown. Whereupon Page's eyes bulged out and he grumbled "You have taken a mean advantage of A MRS. AMANDA SMITH. Noted Evangelist Is In the City. JEWISH NEGROES. A missionary who has recently returned from Africa claims to have discovered many Jewish Negroes. These Jews enjoy equal liberty with other subjects of the African chiefs, and have their synagogues and their rabbis. The explanation which they give of themselves in connection with their black skin is this: That after the destruction of Jerusalem, at the time of the first captivity, some of their ancestors having neither goods nor land, fled to the desert. The fatigue which they endured was so great that nearly all the females died on the way. The children of Ham received them with kindness; and by intermarriage with their daughters, who were black, they communicated their color to their children. These children became, generation by generation, of a deeper hue, until no distinction of color now distinguishes the children of Shem from those of Ham. The form of their features, however, are quite different from the Negroes around them. These are highly interesting facts, and create a strong desire that these unexplored regions may be speedily opened to intercourse with the civilized world. Access to those ancient manuscripts, which are probably older than any others now extant, would perhaps be of great value in correcting the received Hebrew text, or in throwing light upon doubtful passages. ALLAIN INTHE SOUTH. The Negroes in New Orleans deserve the praise of the race all over this country for the cool reception they are giving our old friend and fellow townsman, T. T. Allain. Mr. Allain went down South a few weeks ago "to bring about a better understanding between the whites and blacks," as he tells the white people down there. In the handbills which he threw over the city of New Orleans Mr. Allain showed his ability to play the ring tailed flunkey, and as a result at his great meeting advertised by all the white papers to take place in a hall that seated 6,000 people, only 80 persons were present, 77 of them were white and 3 colored. At the Central Church, where he and the white people thought to corral hundreds of Negroes while he told the Negroes how to get along with the whites, the meeting was a com- A plete failure. At the Washington Artillery Hall it was no better. Thank God, the day of the "white folks nigger" is over in New Orleans, as it is in other parts of the South. A private letter to the editor of the Conservator from a prominent Negro man in New Orleans begs us to call Allain in, as he is actually injuring the race for the hope of a little money. Senator Allain is a personal friend of the editor of this paper, but that friendship cannot get in the way of our duty to prevent Mr. Allain from playing the lickspittle at the expense of our race. Race first, and friends next.—New York Age. Rev. G. T. Keys, of Nashville, Tennessee, lectured at the A. M. E. church last Wednesday evening in the interest of the Central Tennessee college. Mr. C.

The Haymakers' Cantata club met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Clarke last Wednesday evening for the purpose of reorganizing, which it did, and in the future it will be known as the Mozart Singing society. The Unique Social club held its regular Wednesday evening meeting at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Cayton with a fair attendance. The club contemplates giving a picnic and outing the last of the present month.

Smuggling, so goes the story, has always been a business in which a great many good men have taken a part since the early settling of the Puget Sound country, and some remarkable smuggling stories are occasionally told by old pioneers to the effect that this or that man prominent in the affairs of this community, was in earlier days interested in --- JUNE 17,1904. the smuggling business and made fortunes therefrom. How much of this is true the latter day citizens of Seattle are not prepared to say, but the records show that one prominent man was sent to the penitentiary here for smuggling and it is claimed that he bore the sins of hundreds of others, and did his term without squealing on anyone, and for that he was and is always treated kindly by his former associates. Mr. Moore of course will fight the charge to the bitter end, and he could not do otherwise even if he is guilty, but his friends hope there is no truth in the charge and that it will fall flat. \* \* \* They Were Monstrosities A well known judge felt politically inclined a few days ago and discussed politics as though he was a real adept at the business, and perhaps he is, for, if he is not, he certainly could not have discussed the politics of certain nationalities in this country as he did. In the course of the discussion he was let to remark: "Show me an Irish Republican and a Negro Democrat and I will show you a blankety blankety blank". There is no rule without some exception, and The Republican is of the opinion that there are a few Irish Republicans, who really believe in Republicanism and who are ont Republicans for the sake of getting a job on the police force and of course to that extent the worthy judge was a bit mistaken. As to the Negro Democrat, if there be one in this country, he certainly is an outcast and by no means a law abiding citizen. This, RACES! RACES!! RACES!!!

B. Allison, who is described in the daily papers as "the Negro desparado", for having attempted to break jail in Seattle one day last week, and for being charged with numerous crimes before being arrested, tried and convicted. That Allison is a human degenerate seems unquestioned and that he was associated prior to his arrest with men of like character there is no doubt, and on account of that he is now serving a twenty years sentence in the state penitentiary. Whether guilty or not one who associates with such characters must expect sooner or later to be administered the same kind of medicine that they themselves would be given if caught. Allison was none too good to do everything that has been laid at his door, but his attempt to escape, his explanation thereof and the circumstances of his arrest and conviction, all being considered would tempt most any human being to think that he is deserving of at least one drop of human sympathy. Allison claims that he did not commit any of the crimes that he was charged with by the police, and the evidence at his trial was circumstantial and far fetched, but owing to the fact that Hubbard and Freeman were witnesses against him and owing to the fact that the man has Negro blood in his veins, it to the average Seattleite would appear that there is something in his story of being deserted by his pals and railroaded by the police. Either of these officers would swear their souls to the very gates of Hades in order to do a person in whose veins flow one drop of Negro blood an injury, and this perhaps accounts for Allison being so severely punished. SEATTLE SPIRIT Mrs. Amanda Smith Here The citizens of Seattle and especially those of the Methodist fraternity, have been warmly welcoming in their midst Mrs. Amanda Smith, the noted colored evangelist, who by the way, is the founder of the Amanda Smith Orphanage in Chicago, for colored children, which orphanage, though having only been in operation a few years is doing a splendid work among the colored folk and she has been the guest of honor in the various Methodist Episcopal churches during the past week. It will be remembered that Mrs. Smith on previous occasions held revival meetings in the Methodist churches of this city and proved a great success. For weeks she held forth in the First Methodist church during the pastorate of Rev. E. M. Randal and hundreds of young men and women were added to the church roll during that time Subsequently she held a series of revival meetings in the Battery Street Methodist Episcopal church and her success on that occasion in bringing souls to the church was equally gratifying as at the First church. Mrs. Smith is a remarkable woman. She was born in slavery, but early took to missionary and evangelistic work and is perhaps the most successful female evangelist without regard to color or nationality in the country She has done evangelistic work throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and in every state in the United States. She is always warmly welcomed in those places where she has held revival meetings because her real merit is known by them and appreciated. \* \* \* Blethen Got Roasted Under the caption of "Some Debts of Honor" C. H. Childs of Minneapolis, who is receiver for Alden J. Blethen's defunct bank, which Blethen is none other than the Editor-in-chief of the Seattle Daily Times, some facts are set forth in a letter in the Post-Intelligencer last Sunday that must have made the "Editor-in-chief of the only upto-date twentieth century newspaper" feel like "thirty cents with two holes in it." It will be remembered that the suit for the collection of certain notes was recently begun against A. J. Blethen by the receiver of the bank in question in our courts, and in discussing the matter in the Times, Editor Blethen went out of his way to roast C. H. Childs the receiver, who had done nothing to him except carry out the mandates of the law. Childs got back last Sunday as has already been said in a communication which does not reflect a very high moral standing on the part of Alden J. Blethen, the banker and journalist. Little things like that, however, do not seem to weigh very heavily on the Colonel's conscience for he pushes them aside just as glibly as if they were in praise of him. Strange to say, however, the citizens of this town have made it possible for him, in spite of his past record, to boast of another fortune which he has made in this city within the past seven years. Humanity takes some queer streaks in the course of events and this seems to be one of them. * * * City's Health Report The monthly report of the Board of Health is out and as usual full of splendid information about Seattle. The report estimates the population of Seattle at 135,000, and on that basis the mortality record is 8.40 per one thousand. The total number of deaths during the month was 100 and the diseases and the number dying of each disease are as follows: Tuberculosis, general, 8; tuberculosis of Peritoneum, 1; scarlet fever, 1; diphtheria, 1; typhoid fever, 4; alcoholism, 2; cancer, of uterus, 3; of genitals, 1; of urinary bladder, 1; erysipelas 1; Addison's disease, 1; scurvy, 1; paralysis, 3; hemorrhage of brain, 1; apoplexy, 2; organic heart disease, 8; pernicious anaemia, 1: pneumonia, 9; gangrene of lungs, 1; peritonitis, 1; cirrhosis of liver, 2; hepatitis, 2; dysentery, 1; intestinal obstruction, 1; cystitis, 1; uraemia, 1; diabetes, 1; Bright's disease, 2; puerperal septicaemia, 1; septic cellulitis of abdomen, 1; senile decay, 6; psoas abscess, 1; marasmus, 1; inanition, 3; premature birth, 2; broncho-pneumonia, 6; icterus, 1; meningitis, 1; atelectasis, 1; malnutrition, 1; pulmonary oedema, 1; purpura hemorrhagica, 1.

Editor Clayson of the Patriarch is taking the lead in this movement and is deserving of much praise for trying to break his party loose from the Democratic hydraheaded monster. * * * The national Republican central committee, which has been looking into the contesting delegations from the South, has decided against the Lilywhites and branded the conventions that elected them as rumps. Step by step Roosevelt is proving himself the Negro's best and most loyal friend. If he is elected next November (and he will be) he is going to do something in the South. * * * For a general thing lawyers, however, always manage to get hold of enough dough to put on a "front." In other words, they generally look good. Some lawyers do better in their profession than others and of course, being fond of a fine "front," they shine it up in proportion to their earnings. Now Josiah Collins is one of those attorneys that has done well and his recent tour of Europe and his harness at present all go to prove it. He does look "hot stuff" now and he knows it. One day last week he met Mrs. Dr. Marsh at the Haller building elevator, and having just returned from Europe he aped Chesterfield just like Chesterfield himself could do it. Dr. Marsh eyed his bow cautiously, observed his dashing suit and passed on. After entering the elevator she remarked to T. N. Haller, "well, now, don't he look just too irresistible for any female? Who could withstand such a temptation?" Whether she did or did not mean what she said cut not ice with the other passengers, who roared loud enough to shock her modesty, but she seemed to have enjoyed it. * * * Among the students graduating from the law school whose portraits appear in another column hereof is that of E. H. McGee, an Afro-American. Mr. McGee left last Monday evening for the East with the view of taking a course in Harvard, and after finishing there will return West and begin practicing law. He is the third colored student to graduate from the law department of the State University. The others were Charles Scrutchin and Wm. Austin. The former is now a prosperous lawyer of Minnesota, while the latter left Seattle with the view of going to the Philippines. * * * The Methodists have attacked the trusts.

Prohibition, Indianapolis, July 29. People's, Springfield, Ill., July 4. Liberty Party, July 6. Knox as U. S. Senator President Roosevelt's cabinet will lose one of its ablest men when Philander C. Knox, the attorney general leaves the cabinet to enter the United States senate, the successor to the late Mathew Stanley Quay, which ends March 4th, 1905. Mr. Knox is among the able men of this country, and he, doubtless leaves the cabinet with the hope of succeeding himself in 1905, and with Quay's strength at his back there seems to be no doubt of his doing so. Mr. Knox himself is quite popular in Pennsylvania, and, if he can hold Quay's former strength and at the same time bring some strength to his own cause, he will succeed himself almost without opposition. He will make a brilliant United States senator, far more brilliant than he was in the office of Attorney-General, and Pennsylvania will have one man at least in the United States senate that will be able to cope with the senator from any other state in the Union. Metcaf Succeeds Cortelyou Other changes in the cabinet will occur in the very near future, and it has been given out by party leaders that Victor H. Metcalf, of California, who represents the Third congressional district of that state will succeed Secretary Cortelyou, who will probably retire from the cabinet about July 1st, and at that time assume the duties of chairman of the national campaign. Mr. Metcalf is a native of New York, but early emigrated to the state of California and was elected to the Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh Congress. Hannah Elias Extortion Case The Hannah Elias extortion case in New York was perhaps the most remarkable one that the courts of that city has ever had to deal with in their history. After vainly trying to serve civil papers on Mrs. Elias, the attorneys in the case got the ear of the prosecuting attorney and he permitted a warrant to be issued for her arrest on the grounds of extortion, and after breaking her doors down she was arrested and taken to the tombs and was held for a time under a $50,000 bail. The case finally came up for a preliminary hearing but did not last after it had begun to exceed thirty minutes before the judge dismissed it, and reprimanded the prosecuting attorney for her arrest. The prosecuting witness himself admitted on the stand that he had given the woman whatever he had willingly and that ended the criminal end of the case. The prosecuting attorney, however, knew that a criminal charge could not be made out before the warrant was issued, but he allowed his prejudice to get the better part of him, and took this means of helping the attorneys for Mr. Platt out of their dilemma of serving civil papers on the woman. She may be guilty of doing things that are not in keeping with the character of a lady, but that is common the country over and this is the first instance on record where a prosecuting attorney allowed his office to become a collecting agency for a man, who had wilfully, deliber- ' Current Comment and ately, and with immorality aforethought, allowed himself to be bilked by a woman of questionable repute. Colorado's Financial Loss An estimate of the expense of the strike in the Cripple Creek district of Colorado has been sent out and it foots up to $23,036,000. This includes the loss of labor as well as the amount it has cost the state to maintain a standing army there for the past sixteen months. The loss more definitely speaking is itemized as follows: State's expenses $ 26,000 Loss to men in wages. 750,000 Cripple Creek Strike. State's expense ..... $ 400,000 Loss in wages to union men..... 4,000,000 Loss in wages to other laborers ..... 3,000,000 Denver and Pueblo Smelter Strike. Loss to smeltermen and miners.. $ 350,000 Loss to dependent labor ..... 200,000 Telluride Strike. State's expense ..... $ 175,000 Loss to union miners ..... 1,750,000 Loss to dependent labor ..... 850,000 Coal Miners' Strike. State's expense ..... $ 35,000 Loss in wages to miners..... 4,000,000 Loss to steel works employes..... 1,000,000 Loss to men in allied trades..... 1,500,000 Loss to employers, through idle capital, interest, profits, ets.. 5,000,000 Total ..... $23,036,000 There is still another loss that has not been figured in the above items, and, it is the loss of the state being considered a hotbed of anarchism, which has driven numbers of investors from the state, and this loss, perhaps, is the greatest of them all. Unionism has simply ruined the state of Colorado and the citizens are perfectly justified in taking extreme measures to drive them out and break up unionism in every form throughout the state. Already hundreds of the miners have been loaded on trains and dumped off on the plains of Kansas and Nebraska without money or means, and while the remedy is severe, the disease can only be reached by such medicine. Unionism has run riot in that state and it will do so in thois and other states unless something be done to prevent it. Men have the right to organize, but they have no right to become rioters, murderers and rebellionists in order to carry their point, even if they are organized. Gay Actress Too Gay The grand jury in New York has indicted Nan Patterson, the actress, who was found in the carriage with Caesar Young at the time he was murdered, for murder in the first degree and of course she is now confined in the tombs without bail. Mrs. Patterson, though highly connected has been on the stage for a number of seasons, and, it is quietly said, has lived a rather rapid life, even for a stage girl. She is quite handsome, and by some considered beautiful, but her associations have been anything but the best and Ceasar Young, whom she is alleged to have murdered, is a fair sample of the men that she has trotted with since she has been a foot light dazzler. Disgrace Drives Her Mad A sensational murder case has come to light in Spokane, Washington. and Mrs. Jeannette Harris of North Yakima is now observation charged with having murdered a two day old infant of her nineteen year old daughter, Miss Harris was one of the leading society belles of North Yakima and at the birth of her illegitimate child, which condition her parents were ignorant of, her mother took the child and left for Spokane, with the intention, evidently, of putting the baby into an orphanage, but it is believed that she became insane brooding over the disgrace of her daughter and or arriving at Spokane she strangled the child and threw it into the bushes. After committing the crime she was at the depot awaiting the train to take her home, and her actions there were so peculiar that she attracted the attention of the officers about the depot, and she was arrested on a charge of insanity. Mrs. Harris at once broke down and admitted of her own accord that she had killed her daughter's infant son. The probabilities are that she will be committed to an asylum insead of to prison. The betrayer of the girl deserves immediate death. Miners Being Deported The work of deporting the Cripple Creek miners has succeeded so well that General Bell, the commander of the state militia in that district, has prompted all of the mines to begin work again and it is believed no further trouble will be reported, especially such as have been for the past month. Orders have been issued that under pain and penalty of the law no mine operators shall give employment to union miners or allow them to stop over night on their premises. That whipping post incident over in Kentucky one day this week reminds us that Christianity has finally captured Kentucky. Is there a mother throughout Christendom but that hugged her dear ones to her breast after reading that blood curdling whipping story and prayed to God that they had never had to undergo such a heart-sickening ordeal? Is there a father throughout the world but that would have suffered each limb of his body to be unjointed one after the other rather than to have lashed his own child on a public square? Come, now, let's reason together, and the conclusion of the whole matter will be the AngloSaxons of the South have lapsed into a state of complete barbarism. Failure is always bad, but when he who fails gives up and whines he but confesses that failure was his rightful position. War in the Orient has finally reached the white heat state and at the rate the two contending armies have been thumping it to each other for the past week, it begins to look as if it would be but a few weeks more before one or the other of the beligerents will be willing to quit. Russia seems to have the best of the past week's work. Georgetown gambling has been squelched by the authorities and now the sports can move over to the race track where they can drop all the dough they have on the racers. The owner of the race track knew what he was about when he went to the legislature to look after his race track business, for while other kinds of public gambling is cut out, the race track business is legally protected. --- JUNE 17, 1904.
