Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Echoes From The Democratic National Convention VOL. XI. NO. 6 If the financial question is not the issue in the present campaign then, in Heaven's name, so far as the Democrats are concerned, what is the issue? In every other respect their platform has been paterned after the Republican platform. There seems to be no doubt but that Judge Parker is for "sound money"—favors the gold standard—but the Republicans have done that for the past eight years and brought prosperity to the country through it and what's the need of changing? In nominating H. G. Davis, the West Virginia octegenarian, for Vice President, the Democrats have exhibited their usual diplomacy (?] in tying up to a "dead one." The party was only throwing sop to the coal kings in nominating ex-Senator Davis and at the same time with the view if he should happen to be elected he would give them the least trouble as President of the Senate. Morgan, Hill & Co. would have smooth sailing with only Vice President Davis to contend with. Judge Parker has no show in the world of carrying a single Western state for, Bryan himself in the palmy days of "free silver 16 to 1" only carried the Western states in 1896, but lost them all in 1900. Parker is not one-tenth as strong in the West as was and is William Jennings Bryan, and therefore will not get a vote West of the Mississippi. Parker, owing to bitter party strife in Illinois, will loose that state by a greater majority than did Bryan either time he ran. Parker cannot expect to carry Indiana, as in that state the Republicans are thoroughly united and with Fairbanks, Indiana's favorite son, holding second place on the ticket, that state will go overwhelmingly against the Democratic nominees. Granted for sake of argument that Judge Parker will carry the state of New York, the vote of that state would only swell the vote of the "solid South" to some extent, but would fall way short of electing Parker. On the whole Parker and Davis, Democratic nominees for President and Vice President, have not one-half as good prospects for election this year as did Bryan and Stevenson in 1896, or Bryan and Sewall in 1900. Without argument Parker and Davis will get the united vote of the Democratic murderers in the South. They are altogether too ignorant to try to explain anything and so they do as they are commanded to-vote for such candidates as the Democrats of the North select for them. Notwithstanding the fact that the South always gives the Democratic presidential candidates 90 per cent of all the votes cast for them in the electoral SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 15, 1904 college, yet the Democratic party would not think of nominating a Southern man for President—for the reason that, they are not considered qualified to fill such high honors. In other words, the eDmocrats of the North have completely disfranchised the Democrats of the South. The "platform straddle" issued by the Democratic convention might have deceived a great many voters if Candidate Parker had not have opened his mouth to explain, and according to Democratic precedent, put his foot in it instead. The "Parker telegram" has already become famous, and, its advent must have been gratifying to the Republican leaders almost beyond measure. Ex-Candidate Bryan says: "I will vote for the ticket." Perhaps he will, but he hopes in his heart of hearts that no one else besides himself and Judge Parker will vote for it, and The Seattle Republican is rather inclined to think that, for once, he will get his hope. Poor old Bryan! he is truly a thing of the past, and the same seems equally true of the Democratic party, which has been domineered by William Jennings Bryan for the past eight years. Bryan was no less eloquent at the recent Democratic national convention than was he eight years prior, but it either required more eloquence to stampede the convention to his way or his "powerful eloquence" fell on deaf ears. Bryan himself must admit that he is a complete political has been. Judge Parker's mother wept for joy when she was informed that her son had been nominated for the presidency. You wept too soon, my dear madam, you should have waited until you heard from the voters next November, when you will then have real cause to weep. The smiles that Hill and Bryan exchanged at St. Louis indicates that Miss Democracy and her olive branch accomplished wonders. The dose of medicine that the sage of Nebraska took made him sick for several days. The fair miss however was content to rest on her laurels and refused to undertake the task of reconciling the Lincolnite and old tub Cleveland. Senator Tillman's mouth went off with equal regularity at the Democratic convention last week. The Bible describes a "rebellion in heaven." It occurred several years ago. Some people expect a repetition of that sad event when the Southern Senator is gathered to his father. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 904 PRICE FIVE CENTS nal Convention Temporary Chairman Williams is a joker, even though he does not realize that brevity is the soul of wit. Harper's Weekly tells the story of his joke on a newspaper reporter who inquired of the minority leader in the house how his presidential boom was getting along. With great gravity Mr. Williams assured the reporter that everything was auspicious for his boom. Recent reports from Mississippi especially were highly encouraging. "Toomsuba, Ofanoma, Noxopater, Nanachehaw, Toccopola, Tabbville and Grubbs Springs, I am told," he said, "are already for me, while I have every reason to believe that I shall have the undivided support of such places as Nittayujma, Wahalak, Bolatusha, Hushpuckena, Pelahatchie, Mittayuma, Estabutchee, Ittabena, Scutch, Cinqqin, Pawtickfaw, Otoc, Leggo, Yellow Rabbit, Chunkey Station, Hambone, Devolente and Whynot." When the reporter had recovered himself, he asked: "How do you spell those?" The Mississippi statesman patiently spelled all the words, with never a smile to disclose his lack of seriousness. Williams is as profound in his humor as he is long-winded in speech. MR. GEORGE COTTRELL Mr. Cottrell has in part given his reasons for abandoning Democracy, but he has not fully made public the cause. There are many reasons why a Republican's affiliation with the Democrats is unpleasant and one of these is: that Democrats do not want Republicans in their party or to represent it in its conventions. When the three parties united in this state, the Democrats, Populists and Free Silver Republicans, the combination carried everything, but as soon as the election was over, the Washington Democracy politely, but firmly informed the other two branches --- maces aaaaaamaaasaaaaaaaaaaamacaaaaamama aaa aaaaaaacaaaa acerca of fusionists that fusion would no longer be possible and that Democracy thenceforward would travel alone. It has ‘‘herded’’ by itself ever since and been beaten at the polls by a majority that made the Republicans look with pity at its proud, but fallen foe. Such Republicans as Mr. Cottrell should then have returned to the party of right and progress. What has any Republican gained or lost by supporting Democracy? Nothing but a sacrifice of manhood. The record of Mr. Cottrell for eight years must have been one of political unhappiness and sorrow and we rejoice to note his return to the Republi- ean party.

THE NOMINEE FOR VICE PRESIDENT. According to the biography furnished by the Congressional Directory, Charles W. Fairbanks, the Republican nominee for Vice President, was born on a farm in Union county, Ohio, May 11, 1852. He graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University in 1872, and was admitted to the bar in 1874, remoy- ing to Indianapolis the same year. He never held office prior to his election to the Senate, but had been Chairman of the Indiana Re- publican Conyentions, and was the nominee for Senator in 1893. He had been a delegate to several Republican Conventions, and was elected to the Senate, Jan. 20, 1897, to sue- ceed Daniel W. Voorhees. He was re-elected in 1903, and his term will expire March 3, 1909. He is a man of great wealth, made in his profession and by fortunate investments in the Indiana gas fields. He has always been a stalwart Republi- can and a strenuous protectionist. POLITICAL POT=-PIE Mr. Kulies of this city, who has been a life long Democrat, has announced his inten- tion of supporting the Republican ticket at the coming election. In his support of Dem- oeracy in the past Mr. Kulies has unques- tionably done great violence to his conscience and untold injury to the government that gave him its protection and a fair degree of prosperity. Will some one please arise and tell the people what the true test is that qualifies a man to be known as a ‘‘true Democrat’’? Turner and Cottrell are not classed as Demo- erats, while Henry Drum and Heffner are. They all supported the Democratic ticket four years ago. Will some simon pure Demoerat explain? Paul C. Hedrick showed up in town one day this week and he was guyed from one end of the street to the other by those who know him best with, ‘‘Polities must be warm- ing up old man or you would not be in Seattle.’? This was said to him so often that in disgust he roared to every acquaintance he met even before they had time to speak: “T am not doing polities. I have reformed and am trying to live down the past by let- ting polities severely alone.”’ Despite his “out of polities’? declarations he ventured the opinion that the Republican nominees would lose a great many votes, which showed that he was not with the Republicans unless they ‘‘showed him.’’ Tom Church, secretary of the State Demo- cratic Central Committee, has just returned from a tour of the state and some one must Friday, July 15, 1904. have handed him the wrong kind of dope, for he says, he is absolutely certain.the State Democratic ticket will win next fall by not less than 6,000 plurality and that Roosevelt will not carry the state by over 18,000 ma- jority. Tom is not to blame for such ‘‘tom- my rot’? for he has talked such so long that he himself has learned to believe it. Tom was a candidate for the legislature two years ago and he worked himself up to believe that he would be elected and then he began to figure on his majority and it grew larger and larger every day until Tom coneluded he had no opposition at all. The election came off and Tom did not ever keep up with his ticket. His hopes of cars,ing the state for the Democrats next fall are therefore founded on the same kind of fabrications. Those Demoerats, who paid a fabulous price for the Seattle Commonwealth that they might have an official organ in the coun- ty, it would appear, have been buying trouble and that too at a very high price. The managers of the paper are going to get the ‘‘dough’’ and the company the ‘‘ex- perience with the privilege of paying the deficits, which will be many and numerous. Such deals always come to naught and if this does not it will be the exception and not the rule. AES All the best horses at the track will run next week.

The so-called ‘‘ambulance chasing’’ law- A Missouri editor who went on a vacation zi * Cee arte, ae ie eA Ne A wera. Sees NO BY The State Bar Association Agitates. his business, to instigate, excite, encourage or prosecute the bringing of suits at law or in equity wherein he has not a personal in- terest, is a ‘‘barrator,’’ under the law of this state. The law was passed by the Legislature of 1903 and prescribes a penalty or a fine, or imprisonment, or both. If a lawyer be- comes a barrator he may have his license to practice revoked. It is commonly accepted that the enact- ment of the law was instigated by the cor- porations who are most commonly defend- ant in the damage cases. However that may be, the subject of the law was one given prominence by the recent session of the State Bar Association of lawyers convened in this city. Will H. Thompson, late attor- ney for the Great Northern railway, led the discussion. His remarks provoked a debate that became intense and interesting. Mr. Thompson’s address was extemporaneous. Naturally, therefore, it was not “softened’’ or ‘“‘hedged about’? by that discrimination that addresses of that kind, even when de- livered by corporation lawyers, are when written wherein each word, sentence and phrase is weighed. He assumed that the “leading lawyers’’ do not seek damage cases, that the attorneys for the corporations are more than anxious to settle all just claims without the bringing of suits, and that such suits are usually ‘‘instigated,’’ and there- fore tainted with barratry. Other members of the bar believed his remarks were not unbiased, and they were not slow in saying so. Before Mr. Thompson’s employment as attorney for the Great Northern he prose- cuted damage suits against corporations— his firm having a very large amount of this class of litigation. Perhaps it would not be untruthful to say they sought business Of this character, as other business. It is said that after he became attorney for the rail- road company he was liberal in settlements, so exceptionally so that his company had less of this kind of litigation in proportion to accidents than any other company, rail- road, or otherwise engaged, doing business in this state. A large per cent of the settle- ments made by him were made with attor- neys after they were employed to prosecute the claims of the injured. Therefore, Mr. Thompson having had experience inside and outside the pale of the corporate cirele, ought not to be prejudiced—he should be qualified to ‘speak to the point.’’ He could probably debate on either side. In this arose the com- plaint—his brother lawyers believing he only dealt with the abuses in bringing damage suits against corporations, brushing aside the common practices of cheat and fraud resort- ed to by the ‘‘claim dpartment’’ (which is under the control of the legal department, at least its auxiliary) of the corporation to settle just damage cases at a nominal sum, or so ‘‘manipulate’’ the evidence and dis- tort the facts that a just recovery could not i eal yer, or his ‘‘strikers’’ or ‘‘agents’’ with his “eards’’ does not present a very seemly sight—especially to the corporation officers who, through their own negligent agency, have caused injury, sometimes loss of life. He may be said to be a quasi-nuisance. Sometimes, tho, he is an angel-preservative —of the rights of the poor unfortunate vic- tims of such negligence. This is so because it is well known that the corporation has its “striker,’’ its ‘claim agent,’’ its ‘“‘hireling’’ and, even its ‘‘detective-ambulance-chasing- doctor’’ right on the spot, before ‘‘the blood of the vietim ceases to run,’’ to preserve the rights—of the company. Not only the rights, but to manufacture defenses, to gath- er evidence, get the names of witnesses and secretly keep them, but to more completely keep their helpless victim in their power and see that all bars are put up against him ever obtaining justice, obtaining anything like substantial compensation for the injuries sustained. That this condition of affairs, these practices, known and admitted, are more abusive of the rights of the helpless than all acts of the damage-case seeeking of the lawyers who are engaged largely in this branch of practice, was not discussed by Mr. Thompson. Neither did he discuss the common practice of corporations to bodily seize their victims, place them in their sub- sidized hospitals and there hold them quasi- prisoners until settlement at the terms of the company is coerced. Even the city of Seattle ‘‘sports’”’ a ‘‘claim agent’’ who chases after every damage suit as soon as he hears about it. He is paid from the taxpayers’ assessments, and no mat- ter the genuine merits of a case is, he must “‘work for the city,’’ whether in so doing a citizen is prejudiced or not. He makes it a part of his duties to get statements in writing with damages estimated as low as possible just as’ soon as he can after an injury. None of these performances are ideal and are not sanctioned by the high ‘‘ethies’’ of the profession. But such is the practice. Such conditions prevail. It is even said that the true, highest ideal ethics of the law forbids an attorney to hire himself by the year at a salary to prosecute or defend a client’s business, whether good or bad. But such is the practice of the corporation law- years. But they do so hire and they do stand ready to ‘‘meet all comers’’ in the legal arena, at their client’s bidding, the just and the unjust. There are many lawyers. They seem to do many things for their clients, always seek- ing to gain advantage. Sometimes, indeed often, they are to be found at legislatures, even at Congress, leading a lobby. This is not ideal, but they have done so for so many years that the habit has so grown upon them that they see no shame in it—nothing un- professional about it. Indeed, it may be doubted if there be any way of stopping them. Indeed, they have done so many things that it is not a wonder if one set of BAI EGS ete a re ER ek aS A Missouri editor who went on a vacation left a minister in charge of his paper. A day or two latter a letter came from a ‘‘way back’’ subseriber which read: ‘‘You know d—d wel I paid my subscription the last time I was in your town, and if I get any more such letters from you, I’il come down and maul h—1 out of you.’’ The preacher answered: ‘‘I have been trying to maul that thing out of the editor for years, and if you really come down and maul it out of him, then, my dear sir, I have twenty members of my church you ean operate on.’’—Ex. An editor who died of starvation was be- ing escorted to heaven by an angel who had been sent out for that purpose, says the Find- lay (O.) Courier. ‘‘May I look at the other place before we ascend to eternal happi- ness?’’ ‘‘Easily,’’ said the angel. So they went below and skirmished around, taking in the sights. The angel lost sight of the editor and went around hades to hunt him up. He was found sitting by a furnace, fan- ning himself and gazing with rapture on a lot of people in the fire. There was a sign on the furnace which said: ‘Delinquent Sub- seribers.’’ ‘‘Come,’’ said the angel, ‘‘we must be going.’’ ‘‘You go on,’’ said the editor, ‘‘I’m not going, this is heaven enough for me.”’ What Has Come Over Chief Delaney? Is Chief Delaney becoming careless? Has his acquaintance with the policemen of the city discouraged him so as to cause a dis- continuance of the good work he commenced when he first took office? We refer especial- ly to the Sunday school that the Chief opened at police headquarters when he first took possession of the office. We recall the meet- ing that was held in the assembly room when Judge Wood and one or two of the city’s ministers preached to the policemen on a certain Sunday afternoon. We were led to believe that much good resulted from that meeting. A. G. Lane, with tears in his eyes thanked the speakers; Adams, the supposed heart-hardened south of dead line detective, listened with a heaving chest, while tears flowed down his cheeks only to be absorbed when they reached the clothing that covered the pit of his stomach. Long John Kelly, though morally perfect, began to realize that ‘Life is real, life is earnest, But the grave it not its goal,’”’ and became visibly affected. Steples and many others showed evidences that a life of eriminal hunting had not altogether hard- ened their hearts, and listened with deep in- terest and emotion to the so oft told story. It was a meeting that furnished abundant proof that a great and a good work had been commenced. Why has our Chief so abruptly abandoned the work that evidenced the ac- complishment of great and good results? The Seattle Republican, 214 Columbia. The Seattle Republican Established May, 1894 H.

If camp Murray is not a roaring farce it's no fault of George Lamping. If its "cold water" that Kansas wants, she seems to be getting more of it than she bargained for. Not being able to hold the election in this state two weeks after the Republican state convention adjourned the Democrats have lost another "golden" opportunity. Ambulance lawyers are not thought very highly of by corporation lawyers, but come to think, why should they, when the success of the former is always at the expense of the latter. "Hope is an asset which is not subject to foreclosure," says the Green Lake News. No, but it is an asset that should be subject to disclosure. Hope properly exhibited is success' masterpiece. He or she who says a prisoner, who works on the rock pile all day under a heartless task master, can be well fed at eight cents a day and three of those to go to profit, lies like a dog and knows it. Lets hope that the totem pole presented to President Roosevelt was not obtained in the same way as the one presented to the city of Seattle by Will H. Thompson et al on a return trip from Alaska some years ago. Inspector Wayland, if all reports be true, should be severely inspected concerning the escape of Rev. Oscar A. Smith, and if he is we are of the opinion that a new inspector will begin operation in Seattle very soon thereafter. Great Salt Lake is drying up so rapidly that it will have completely disappeared in fifty years and perhaps in twenty-five years, so think the geologists. Well, let her go if it is of any service no one has ever been able to figure it out as yet. If John Sharp Williams, the Democratic leader in the House of Representatives, was not the protege of a constituency who hold their power by their might to murder the opposition, his words so cleverly said might have consiedrably more effect. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN It is claimed editorially that the liquor traffic in this country amounts to $2,500,000 every year. It's strange that this commodity does not vary in amount one year from another, but the same amount is sold each year. The whole thing sounds like a fish story. With the advent of Oklahoma into the sisterhood of states another rich producing cotton state will be placed on the roll, but it will be one cotton state that will be Republican if blood has to be spilt to make it so. Cracking jokes at the expense of the "nigger soldiers" may evoke applause from jackasses, but when it comes to action Sambo can give the Lamping lopsides cards and spades and then skin them two to one. In other words, the Negroes of the Ninth cavalry are the only real soldiers at the camp. There is a crying demand for more women in Canada, there being 100,000 less women than men in the country. England should remedy this state of affairs at once, that is if the men in Canada are in any sense like their cousins in the United States for they scrap like the duce over "women" when they have two and three women to every man. Col. Pratt, who has been at the head of the Carlisle Indian school since its establishment, it is claimed, has failed to make cultured citizens out of the Indians, and in retiring is being branded as a failure. It took Rome 300 years to make citizens out of the original inhabitants of England and it never occurred to us that the Indian was more susceptible of learning than the Englishman. The Enumclaw Courier charges "Hon. John F. Main of Seattle" of having "delivered a powerful address" at that place the Fourth of July. Our superior court has adjourned and it is unfortunate that the accused can not be arrainged for some six weeks or more and then perhaps will not get a trial until next January. If he is not able to furnish bale he will be the main guy of "bastile forum" during the entire fall. WISE AND OTHERWISE A Peck's Bad Boy Did It. A fond and loving father and mother were wheeling a baby buggy on Howard street last Sunday afternoon. In the buggy was a bright, blue-eyed little baby upon which the affectionate glances of the parents were constantly turned. They met some friends, and in their excited emotion left the buggy to greet their unexpected acquaintances. A small boy, with some of the instincts of Peck's Bad Boy, took charge of the baby buggy and its occupant. The ditch beside the walk was only some three feet deep. Of course you know what happened. The speedy rescue of the baby from under the buggy in the ditch would have done credit to the run of the fire department in the wholesale district, or the rescue of a life saving crew. Of the small boy we will not speak. His history is too sad to mention. Friday, July 15, 1904. They Lost Their Grub. Some furniture house in this city has held a lien on some restaurant furniture and one day last week concluded to foreclose. The matter was put in the hands of an attorney. Last Thursday the attorney, accompanied by an officer, swooped down on the restaurant man during the noon hour. The seats at the tables were all occupied and others were waiting for their noon-day lunch. The officer at once loaded the chairs and tables into a wagon and the cooked victuals were a total loss to the restaurant man. To have delayed the taking possession for an hour would have made the unfortunate restaurant man several dollars, saved the loss of the cooked victuals and done no harm to the creditor. To have done so would have been generous—decent. We wonder if the creditor knows what was done to injure an unfortunate creditor? We presume not. No doubt it was the wilful act of the attorney. Wherever the responsibility lies, it was a shabby trick. Yes, it was nasty—dirty—mean. HIS ARREST UNCALLED FOR. Mahesh Charan Sinha is the name of a Hindoo student, writer and lecturer who has been in Seattle for several weeks. He has delivered several lectures in the city and has been received into some of the best homes of Seattle. He was arrested last week at the request of a Miss Tyner, who accused him of not only following her, but also of looking at, what we presume, her pretty face. A trial before Judge George resulted in his prompt acquittal and without any evidence on his behalf. This case, shows that a highly educated, respectable foreigner, whose reputation is vouched for by some of our best people, was without just cause or excuse arrested on our streets, taken to the police station, searched and thrown into our dirty, nasty, filthy jail. Some one should be held responsible for this outrage. Good faith on the part of officials cannot be accepted as an excuse in the face of gross carelessness. The arrest and detention of those innocent of crime is growing too frequent among our own people. The license should not be extended to foreigners who are protected under treaty rights. CUT OUT THE HURDLES The races are well attended at the Meadows, and some four hundred horses have been imported to take part in the summer's sport. If the hurdle races were cut out, we think it would be pleasing to the public. The location, track and buildings a deal and future meetings will show an increased attendance. Seattle fishermen and fisherwomen turned out in great numbers last Sunday. Women may be the equal of men in many respects, but when it comes to fishing, they are a dead gone failure. The north wing of the Cascade school is nearing completion and will, when finished, be one of the best in the city. The Cascade is one of the few brick school structures in the city. Friday, July 15, 1904. PERSONAL. The Seattle Republican, 214 Columbia. Miss Carrie Dixon is home from school. Mr. Reuben Miller left for Spokane one day this week. Miss Katie Scott visited in Portland the first of the week. Misses Clifford and Ruth Freeman have returned from Portland. Mrs. Frank Smith is taking the lead in organizing a choir for the Mt. Zion Baptist church. Mr. and Mrs. John Scott, brother of Miss Katie Scott, have returned to their home in Jacksonville, Fla. Rev. F. T. Walker, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, is doing missionary work in other fields this week. Mrs. Ed. Wells gave a delightful dance to a few of her friends last Monday evening at the Green Lake pavillion. Mrs. Pearl Thompson of Spokane is visiting with her mother and husband's parents. She will spend a month on this side of the mountains. If the Puget Sound annual conference of the A. M. E. organization is held in the proposed new church of this city on Fourteenth some one will have to hurry. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Collins sympathize with them over the unfortunate condition of their little son Jerome. He, however, seems much improved at this writing. Lest ye forget, the office of The Seattle Republican is at 214 Columbia street, in the old Postoffice Alley, with the Acme Publishing Company. The telephones are Main 305 and Independent 1306. Willie Harris, who was convicted of a felony last week, was sent to state prison for one year and fined $1000 and cost of court. He was practically reared in Newcastle, this state, where his aged parents now live and are highly respected, and at one time he gave bright promise of becoming a useful man. Some folk with more braggadocia than brains seem to think it smart to get in public places and shoot off about they being broken when in fact they mean for you to understand they really have "two bits" ahead. The public is not interested in your private affairs one way or the other and you would save energy and wind by keeping it to yourself. Cards are out announcing the marriage of Mr. Lawrence Sledge and Miss L. Gertrude Chrisman in Everett July 30th. Mr. Sledge is a well known attorney of Tacoma, while the young lady formerly lived in Idaho and graduated from the state university of that state with high honors. For the past year she has made her home with Mr. and Mrs. Boyer of Everett. Among the Afro-Americans of this county extensive preparations are being made to celebrate the first and fourth of August next. The members of the Mt. Zion Baptist church of this city are arranging for the rendition of an extensive literary program the first of August, while the miners at Ravendale are making preparations for an old fashion barbecue, to which the public in general is invited. Both of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN these celebrations have in mind the emancipation of the Negro slaves in the West Indies by Great Britain in 1837. This year's list for peculiar accidents and mishaps is liable to break all previous records. The Republican gives its readers a new one in that line: A charming young widow of Seattle since the loss of her husband has been occupying a flat in the eastern part of the city. The building is so constructed that the toilet is on the back porch with the entrance from the outside. One day last week during the absence of the occupant a neighbor's children put three dogs in the toilet and securely closed the door, the canines having interfered with the kids in their play. The children forgot all about the dogs and wandered away and during their absence the widow, who had been down town, returned. She went to the toilet door, opened it, when the dogs made a speedy dash for their liberty. One, a large fellow, ran between her lower limbs, raising her from her feet, and pitched her at full length on the floor, while the other two scrambled across her prostrate form. The noise she made aroused the neighbors and the shock was so severe that she was carried to her room and a physician was summoned. She finally emerged from this mishap with a sore and bruised head and badly scratched limbs from the contact with the rough dog collar, the day being extremely hot, she had worn no stockings. A NEGRO'S PROFITABLE INVENTION. Andrew Beard, a Negro who has worked in the machine shops of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company in Birmingham, Ala., for twenty years, has just sold a patent for a car coupler of his own invention for $100,-000. In addition he is to get a royalty on every coupler made on his model for seventeen years. Spring Is near at hand, and the time for housecleaning. We can be of benefit to you in this direction.

The Appeal to Reason, the widely circulated Socialist paper published at Girard, Kans., recently contained the following editorial in which there is much food for thought.: When the average man reads of the dynamiting of Negroes' homes at Guthrie, Okla., he will say it is race prejudice. But he is badly mistaken when he thinks so; behind every such act is an economic reason. The Negroes of Guthrie were simply competing with their white brothers for an existence and getting a little the best of it; "race prejudice" is merely an excuse by the white race to justify its action in eliminating Negro competion. Every southern man knows in the bottom of his heart that there is not the slightest danger of there ever being such a thing as social equality between the white and colored races—the Negro objects to associating with the whites fully as much as the whites object to associating with the blacks. It's simply a bread and butter question, not a race question. The thoughtful minded must admit that there is a good deal of truth in this. Miss Hazel Harrison, a talented young colored pianist of Laporte, Ind., has been highly honored by an invitation to play with Philharmonic Orchestra of Berlin, Cormany's most renowned musical organization. It is said that the honor is seldom bestowed on the great European pianists and has never before been accorded one so young. It is also stated that perhaps the most brilliant audience ever assembled at the opera house listened to the program which she will render in Berlin in September. It is needless to say that there's room at the top. Let Indianapolis stand up; she sometimes thinks she knows, but the woods are full of those that do.—The Freeman. When one carefully considers the fact that eighty-six per cent of the graduates and ex-students of the Tuskegee Institute live in the South and that not more than one in ten can be found in idleness during any part of the year, it then becomes clear what the school is doing for the masses of our people in the South and for the Southland itself. These young men and women scattered all over the South are not only living lives of usefulness, but are living examples of the value of proper training for colored young men and women in the way of making intelligent and useful citizens.—Tukeegee Independent.
