Seattle Republican

EPUBLICAN SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 1904 in the Seattle Daily Times A Sample of What You See in the Seattle Daily Times On the other hand, if the people shall decide in behalf of McKinley, it means death to all the hopes of the future Republic. McKinley's election means the continuance of the awful record made my the money power in the last four years, for the money power holds McKinley a thousand times tighter in its grasp than it holds Cleveland. If he or she who doubts, "See it in the Times, it's a lie," will but to read the excerpt below, which is a chapter from the Seattle Daily Times, Tuesday, November 3rd, 1896, on which day the first battle of ballots raged between William McKinley and William J. Bryan. The paper had the same editor then as now and the management from stem to gudgeon was the very same,hence it is easy to see who is the liar. McKinley's election means the complete overthrow of the American people—the absolute impoverishment of 60,000,000 of our population, the destruction of the Republic and the establishing of a monarchy. "A Government by Injunction," is even worse than a monarchy and therefore the latter would be more acceptable to the masses. The editorial with numerous bold black face type appeared on that evening and the same is herewith quoted verbatim ad literatim: By the hour this issue of the Evening Times gets to our patrons the greatest political contest since the days of Abraham Lincoln will have been decided. The voters of the United States will have determined whether William J. Bryan or William McKinley will be the chief executive of the American people for If McKinley is elected today, the United States is just as surely drifting to its doom as was ancient Rome, when it began the system, whereby 85 per cent of her people were deprived of their property rights through the manipulations of the money power. If McKinley be elected this is the last vote that will ever be permitted the masses in this country, for it will be cheaper to disfranchise them than to carry on such a campaign as this one in 1896 has been. This campaign stands the Trusts and the money power at least $20,000,000. It would take $2,000,000 to obtain all the legislation necessary to disfranchise 6,000,-000 of voters and the balance could be directed how to vote and not bought in any form. the next four years. As the people shall choose, so will the fate of the Nation for all time to come be determined. If Mr. Bryan be chosen the Republic will swing back into line as the leading commercial nation of the world within twelve months; the prosperity, which was killed by the destruction of silver, will return with redoubled energy. The picture is a dark one, but no nation has ever survived the baleful influence of the money power, and this Republic will determine today whether she can do it. As the answer shall be today, so shall it be with the Republic. The commercial union, which will be made between all silver-using nations, will enable the United States to turn every one of its 16,000,000 spindles within the year 1897, where 12,000,000 are idle today. The election of Mr. Bryan means the product of $350,000,000 more goods and merchandise in 1897 than in 1896, and that means the employment of every idle hand and the doubling of wage earnings within the year. On the other side is a future filled with bright hopes and opportunities for the people, but upon the other is the picture of despair—a nation lost—a movement backward toward barbarism, with all its horrors. Which shall it be? How many of the citizens of this country have been made slaves of? How many disfranchised, except those disfranchised by the border outlaws of the South, the cihef supporters of William Jennings Bryan at that time, and likewise the chief supporters of Alton B. Parker today? How many manufacturing wheels have been stopped? Is not the country prosperous from Maine to Mexico and from New York to California? William McKinley was elected on that day and was reelected four years from that day and would have finished serving his last four years in a blaze of glory had not a wild-eyed monster, under the influence of just such incendiary and riotous editorials, struck him down in the zenith of his power. WHO IS THE LIAR? Mr. Bryan's election means a return of constitutional principles as laid down by the fathers. It means trial by jury—and not "a government by injunction." It means the exercise of equal rights before the law. It means death to Monopolies and Trusts, which have taken from the masses their all, and given it to the few, who did not need it. It means the opportunity for the children of the present and the coming generations, which has been granted to this generation until now. It means still greater height to be obtained in glory by the Great Western Republic. In fact it means everything which tends to make a nation great, powerful, rich as a whole and grand from all that results from civilization. ished Under McKinleyism What Has Been Accomplished Under McKinleyism What Has Been Accomplished Under McKinleyism tective tariff, and industry, freed from oppression and stimulated by the encouragement of wise laws, has expanded to a degree never before known, has conquered new markets, and has created a volume of exports which has surpassed imagination. Under the Dingley tariff labor has been fully employed, wages have risen, and all industries have revived and prospered. In the late Chicago Republican convention a platform was issued which was but a statement of party facts, and in summing up the achievements of the party since March, 1897, when William McKinley became the chief executive, the man, who, if lected the Times declared would make a monarchy out of this Republic, and here's a chapter from that now memorable convention: We firmly established the gold standard, which was then menaced with destruction. Confidence returned to business and with confidence an unexampled prosperity. The Republian party entered upon its present period of complete supremacy in 1897. We have every right to congratulate ourselves upon the work since then accomplished, for it has added luster even to the traditions of the party which carried the government through the storms of civil war. For deficient revenues supplemented by improvident issues of bonds we gave the country an income which produced a large surplus and which enabled us only four years after the Spanish war had closed to remove over one hundred millions of annual war taxes, reduce the public debt and lower the interest charges of the government. We then found the country, after four years of Democratic rule, in evil plight, oppressed with misfortune and doubtful of the The public credit, which had been so lowered that in time of peace a Democratic administration made large loans at extravagant rates of interest in order to pay current expenditures, rose under Republican administration to its highest point and enabled us to borrow at 2 per cent, even in time of war. future. Public credit had been lowered, the revenues were declining, the debt was growing, the administration's attitude toward Spain was feeble and mortifying, the standard of values was threatened and uncertain, labor was unemployed, business was sunk in the depression which had succeeded the panic of 1893, hope was faint, and confidence was gone. We refused to palter longer with the miseries of Cuba. We fought a quick and victorious war with Spain. We set Cuba free, governed the island for three years, and then gave it to the Cuban people with order restored, with ample revenues, with education and public health established, free from debt and connected with the United States by wise provisions for our mutual interests. We met these unhappy conditions vigorously, effectively, and at once. We replaced a Democratic tariff law based on free trade principles and garnished with sectional protection by a consistent pro- United States VOL. XI. NO. 11 DAMN LIE.

The Clafflin Quartet, which was at the First M. E. church in this city last Sunday, won the laurels. Their praise for good singing is being generally sung by those present and that the audience was highly pleased with their entertainment was evidenced by a collection of $112 being raised for them at the service. The quartet sung at a number of places in the city and its suburbs since last Sunday morning and at each place they did most remarkably well from a financial standpoint. The manager of the singers was enthusiastic at the reception given him in Seattle and it is estimated he raised not less than $500 during his stay in the city for his school. The school is planning to begin the erection of a new building at once and whatever the quartet gets while on the road singing in Methodist Episcopal churches will go to that end. Those having charge of the singers should not overlook the fact that Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Thomas of this city did most valliant work to make the affair a success. THE MISS BROWN MUSICALE. At the suggestion of Miss Minnie Brown of Spokane, who is visiting with Rev. Freeman, a musicale at the A. M. E. church for the benefit of the pastor was given last Wednesday evening, which was a most pleasing affair. A program was hurriedly gotten up but it would not so appear to those who were present to listen to its rendition. Rev. Freeman is very grateful to the young people in general for their willingness to assist in such matters as well as to those who attended. The following program was rendered: Piano solo, Miss Clifford Freeman; vocal solo, Miss Nelly Cousins; piano duett, Misses Matty and Fanny Collins; vocal solo, Miss Minnie Brown; piano duett, Miss Gertrude Harvey and Miss Clifford Freeman; vocal solo, Miss Barbra Davis; piano solo, Miss Emma Houston; vocal solo, Miss Minnie Brown.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN strong in administration, and have conferred upon the people of those islands the largest civil liberty they have ever enjoyed. M. C. H. By our possession of the Philippines we were enabled to take prompt and effective action in the relief of the legations at Pekin and a decisive part in preventing the partition and preserving the integrity of China. The possession of a route for an isthmian canal, so long the dream of American statesmanship, is now an accomplished fact. The great work of connecting the Pacific and Atlantic by a canal is at last begun, and it is due to the Republican party. We have passed laws which will bring the arid lands of the United States within the area of cultivation. We have reorganized the army and put it in the highest state of efficiency. We have passed laws for the improvement and support of the militia. We have pushed forward the building of the navy, the defense and protection of our honor and our interests. Our administration of the great departments of the government has been honest and efficient, and wherever wrongdoing has been discovered the Republican administration has not hesitated to probe the evil and bring offenders to justice without regard to party or political ties. Laws enacted by the Republican party which the Democratic party failed to enforce, and which were intended for the protection of the public against the unjust discrimination or the illegal encroachment of vast aggregations of capital, have been fearlessly enforced by a Republican president and new laws, insuring reasonable publicity as to the operations of great corporations, and providing additional remedies for the prevention of discrimination in freight rates, have been passed by a Republican congress. We have organized the government of Porto Rico, and its people now enjoy peace, freedom, order and prosperity. In the Philippines we have suppressed insurrection, established order and given to life and property a security never known there before. We have organized civil government, made it effective and depositors, and Iowa 205,000, but Indiana has only 22,000 and Wisconsin only 3,500. Among the Southernstates, South Carolina stands first in the number of its savings depositors. Texas has a very few savings depositors, and there are an unusually large number in Maryland for so small a state. Maine has a very large and West Virginia a very small number, and New Jersey, with a population of 1,183,000, has more than 200,000 individual depositors. In the aggregate wealth and individual resources of the people of the United States, there has been an enormous increase in the past six years, but in no other respect, perhaps, has the country's growth in wealth been so conspicuously shown as the increase in the number of savings depositors and of their aggregate deposits. Five years ago there were 5,200,000 individual savings accounts in the United States; now there are 6,400,000, an increase of 1,200,000, or at the rate of nearly a quarter of a million a year. Five years ago the amount of savings deposited in the United States was $1,940,000,000; it is now $2,640,-000,000, an increase of $700,000,000 in five years, or at the rate of $140,000,000 a year. Savings deposits in this country are now the largest in the world, reaching $2,310,660,000. These deposits have doubled in about fifteen years. The ingenious system of home savings banks is used with excellent results to attract deposits from the masses. This gives a bank or trust company one branch in every family by the distribution of these small banks or safes for the reception of small coin or chance savings. The state of New York has, of course, the largest number of savings depositors, but in comparison with the total population Mas- Under this arrangement institutions have secured thousands of new accounts, which yield very handsome returns. The scheme represents the kindergarten in banking, but long ago it passed the experimental stage. sachusetts is ahead of it. New York has 2,100,000 depositors; Massachusetts has 1,500,000; Connecticut, a very small state, has 400,000 savings depositors, 50,000 more than Pennsylvania; Illinois has 260,000 Now, our theory is that if we solve the liquor traffic problem, we in so doing go very far to solve the race problem. During the war the Southerner left his home, his property and his family largely to the tender care of the Negro race, while he went to the Confederate army to do battle for state rights. If the unspeakable crime, now claimed to be so prevalent North and South, was often committed, we never heard of it, and the Southerners never complained of it. The Negro was trusted with the care of wife and daughters, and did not betray his trust. Has his freedom alone wrought the change in his nature now so marked? We think not. Under the slave system Prohibition was both a written and an unwritten law as applied to the Negro. With freedom has come his unrestricted access to the intoxicating cup, and the trusted keeper has become the hunting and hunted fiend. The Southern people are endeavoring to correct the evil by means of local option and have voted out all intoxicants in a large proportion of the most of the counties of most of the Southern states. The colored man, sober, is as a rule, kind, courteous, industrious, economical and trustworthy. But the colored man, drunk, like his white neighbor, is the direct antithesis of all these virtues. Solve the liquor problem and in a great measure you solve the race problem. In a speech delivered by Silas C. Swallows, the Prohibition candidate for president, in July the following extracts are being pretty generally published by his party press: Much is being said these times about the race question. When we remember that the Negroes of this country have increased since the war from 4,000,000 to 10,000,000, while the whites have, notwithstanding the heavy immigration, increased only about 25 per cent, we may well reverse the question so often propounded, namely, "What shall we do with the Negro?" and put it thus, "What is the Negro going to do with us?" Negro Is Sober. The situation is certainly a peculiar one. The North, dominated largely by the Republican party, has to a large degree, as compared with former years, lost interest in the Negro. And here, as in the South, many of them are lynched, hung, riddled with bullets or burned at the stake. Scarcely a Northern state but has been disgraced and humiliated by outrages of this kind that parallel in savagery anything that ever occurred south of Mason and Dixon's line. The Republican party has apparently given over to fortune, to Providence or to fate its colored ward of forty years ago, and the Democracy, North and South, but dominating the latter, where the Negro race is most numerous, is not less hostile to it than during the reconstruction period. The office of the Seattle Republican is at 214 Columbia street, with the Acme Publishing Company. Main 305. HON. WILLIAM M'KINLEY. YOUR UNCLE SAM Leads the World in Savings Deposits. More Prosperity.

POLITICAL POT=PIE After all the talk and splutter on the part of the Democrats and their organs in this state they are completely without an issue on which to make their campaign, save and except trying to create dissention in Republican ranks. The Republican nominees have been before the public now for more than three months and the most damaging thing that the Democrats have given to the public against them is "the chairman of the state central committee is trying to put Candidate Coon off the ticket and is trying to manipulate the politics of the state in the interest of the senatorial candidacy of the Hon. John L. Wilson." In other words, the mud slingers have been seeing the pigeon on the barn, but were unable to see the barn. See it in the Times, "it's a lie," and the Republican that will believe the rot and billingsgate that the Times and its twin sister, the Spokesman Review, publishes is either half-witted or already a Democrat, and should leave the Republican party forthwith if not sooner. Eastern Washington, it is frequently given out, will go against the Republican party almost ten to one, and yet the Democrats are unable to point out a single man in Eastern Washington of either any state or local influence who has bolted the Republican party and has openly declared he intended to support the Democratic nominees. It is quite different with the Republicans. They can point out a good many leading Democrats who have bolted their party, and while they may not work for the Republican party they will do all in their power to defeat the Democratic nominees. When the Democrats lost George F. Cottrill of King county there is no denying the fact that they lost a very strong advocate and lost an advocate who will take a great many votes from the party, regardless of what party they go to. Since 1896 he has been a strong man in the Democratic party, and, as evidence of his strength, he was twice nominated for mayor of Seattle by the Democrats and was once nominated for congress by his party and had a great many advocates for the nomination of governor. His opposition will be seriously felt by the Democrats, however light they may make of him. The Democrats have lost H. H. Kulies of Seattle, and he, too, has in the past been a prominent factor in the party councils of Democracy. Every effort was made by the Democrats to keep Kulies in line, but to no avail, and though he may not support the Republican nominees, yet it is very plain to be seen he will not vote for the Democrats, and if he has as strong following this time as he has had in the past, a great many of his friends will follow in his wake, and as a result the Democrats will lose a great many what you might call Kulies votes. The Democrats should not overlook the fact that they have lost W. H. Murphy, the Ninth ward councilman, who for a number of years has been a Democratic war horse and has always controlled a number of votes for his party. Mr. Murphy is an out-and-out Republican now, and while he may not be able to take all of the voters that have in THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN OUR PRESIDENT THOMORE ROOSEVELT ```markdown ``` Not satisfied with having burned three human beings at the stake, using more brutality in doing so than ever did the wildest savages, the Georgia barbarians went a step further, and gathering up the charred remains of the Negroes expressed them to President Roosevelt labeled, "You Will Never Eat With These Niggers." If such an insult to the CHIEF MAGISTRATE is not sufficient to warrant the United States officials in causing every man interested in it to be arrested and sent to penitentiary for life, or be hanged, then ours is a different government to that of any other nation on earth. It's of slight concern to this government that a few niggers are burned at the stake, not for outraging white women, but for neighborhood rows, but it is quite a horse of another color when the President of the United States be so grossly insulted as was President Roosevelt by those Georgia barbarians and ruffians, and every drop of Northern blood should be spilt in forcing those brutes to a just punishment for the same. Will Northern men stand to be thus continuously insulted by men whom they have once before chastised for like insults? Is it not high time that such brutality come to an abrupt end? Is Sparta dead? the past trained with him into the Republican party, nevertheless he will make a bold stagger in that direction. It will thus be seen that the Democrats have lost influential men, men who lead instead of follow, and such losses always count for a great deal more than the loss of a few votes for selfish reasons. With one fell swoop Judge Bell has sent the eight hour law, passed by the last legislature, glimmering. After having heard argument both pro and con and taking the subject under consideration, Judge Bell last Tuesday morning declared the law unconstitutional, which is to say, contractors and employers can have their employes work eight, ten or any number of hours that the workmen will agree to work without being disturbed by the courts or by captious union labor agitators. The decision meets general approval: If it was passed for political buncombe, whoever was responsible can now figure out some other scheme whereby they can take advantage of the men who are compelled to hire workmen. And it now transpires that the human monster and political abortion who was unfortunately elected to the governorship of the state of Mississippi has not only maligned the president of the United States, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, but in the columns of a vicious weekly paper of that state, with which he was not long since connected, disgracefully attacked the mother of the president for being his mother. The brute that will malign the mother of even a fiend incarnate in the columns of his paper is fit only to associate with the wild and bloodthirsty animals of the jungles. It matters not how bad or degenerate a son may be, it can always be safely put down he is so against the wishes and prayers of his mother. That Mississippi human quadruped has resorted to the lowest and most despisable methods of attacking President Roosevelt by publishing scurrilous remarks about his mother, if published reports to that effect be true. Even Tillman himself is an angel in comparison to a man that will publish black-guard about the mother of the FIRST MAN of the land, and that, too, without the slightest excuse in the world for doing so. Let's hope that the United States does not contain another such a human monster, either in high or low public or private calling. J. K. Vardeman is a burning disgrace to the name of America, and if the United States was any other country but itself he would be a fit subject for life imprisonment. Nothing more plainly shows the barbarism that exists in the bosom of the Southern white man than in his burning at the stake the three Negroes at Statesboro, Georgia, last Tuesday after the men had been tried, found guilty by the courts and sentenced to be hanged. If the report sent out by the Associated Press be but half true, never in the history of the world was a greater amount of brutal barbarism exhibited. Talk about the Negro problem being a difficult one for the Southern white man to settle. It is not in it for a single minute in comparison with the White Man's Problem, for if his problem is not solved on a more humane basis within the very near future it will be the means of again drenching this country in blood and carnage. When the figures of running other governments are carefully gone over and compared with the cost of running the United States, it will be readily seen that Uncle Sam pays less per capita for that than any other known civil government in the world. The following statement of facts bearing on the running expenses of the various governments have been given out by statisticians as authentic: New Zealand $33.38 Australia 37.69 Great Britain 21.39 France 17.84 Belgium 17.40 Paraguay 17.30 Austria-Hungary 14.27 Argentina 12.68 Cuba 12.40 Portugal 11.45 Holland 11.40 Spain 10.00 Sweden 9.54 German Empire 9.45 Dominion of Canada 9.30 United States 7.97 Kensington and Rogers-Peet Clothing NOTHING BETTER W.

"Heir apparent to the Russian throne," who is now on his way thither, had "better hurry" or there won't be any throne to air. Socialism from Debbs' standpoint is very objectionable, but it is to be preefrred a thousand times over to Southernism with a MUTE and a MUMMY as its mascot. The Sick Man in the East has rung his backing bells and Uncle Sam's demands were complied with. There is nothing like putting on a bold front. "Truth does not adjust itself to society society must adjust itself to truth," says a would-be sage. Nay, nay, good master! Society is either truth or trouble. Perhaps, as a legal liar, T. V. Powderly, the former head of the Knights of Labor, will be a more brilliant success than he was as a labor liar. He has opened a law office in Washington City. "Mob law still rules" in the Colorado Cripple Creek district simply because a wildeyed mob still holds the fort. If the "mob" would go to work there would be no use for mob law. From time to time The Republican will give its readers samples of the inconsistencies of the Daily Times. It has many of them in stock and the public shall have the benefit thereof. Bishop Potter should not feel discouraged because he is criticized in his hotel effort. If he really thinks there is merit in his project he should keep it going just the same as if it met general approval. The condition of the Daily Times is becoming acutely serious. It is suffering from a severe case of "Yellow Jack," and it has already had one "black vomit" attack and another is expected at any moment. The South Seattle News has changed hands and Editor Reed has severed his connection therefrom. In future it will be directed by Teachnor & Anderson. The paper will continue Republican in politics. If it be true that France prevented a war between England and Russia then France could have done something more commendable and in future should attend to her own fantastic as well as fastidious business. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A distinguished educator is of the opinion, "girls should not marry until they are twenty-four years old." That must account for thirty and forty year old spinsters getting to eighteen years of age and never getting any older. Cotton may have, during the palmy days of Negro slavery in this country, been king of the United States, but wheat holds that honor just now and with fair prospects of not being dethroned for a good many years yet to come. We note that a prominent "Northwest" weekly has cut the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor. As usual the Coon, when he is a candidate for office, is always the one that receives the deepest and greatest number of cuts from the Anglo-Saxon population of this country. An air bag in which to go to the north pole is the latest device to reach that much-sought point of the compass. Now is a good time to get the bags filled with air, as the numerous campaign speakers have dead loads of hot air that they are giving away for the asking. "Sentiment is an everlasting heartspring around which revolves the thirsting multitude," says a sentimentalist. Is that a new name for Kentucky "bug juice?" Around the spring that produces "bug juice" there are, we know, always a multitude revolving, and from the noise they make a good many of them must fall into it. It's only a demagogue that reasons "the success of Christian nations depends upon the misfortunes of un-Christian nations." Pooh, bosh, rot, rowdyism. Great nations make the most money for an exchange of trade with each other. Uncle Sam makes more money out of Johnny Bull than he does out of the millions in China. Eugene V. Debbs is to edit a Kansas paper known as Appeal to Reason. Debbs is evidently experimenting. He first advised his followers to "appeal to force and violence," which cost him a term in prison. Now he is to advise them to "appeal to reason," which, if he is not careful, will cost him a term in an insane asylum. Tommy Taggert tags the trusts for millions to meet campaign expenses. Taggert is a slum politician, and believing the respectable element will stay with the party for the sake of party pride he hopes to be able to take the trusts' millions and buy up a sufficient number of the vicious element in doubtful states to turn the tide in Parker's favor. Instead of permitting the belligerents to go down on the sinking ships the Japanese rescued every Russian possible. The Japs, judging from the many nasty flings the Anglo-Saxons daily make about them, are not "white folk," for if they were they would have done as did the Russians-permitted their victims to drown like rats. There is no reason now why Bryan cannot become a genuine Populist, as the courts Friday, August 19, 1904. have decided he is not entitled to the $50,000 legacy which he claims P. S. Bennett left him in his last will and testament. It never rains but it pours—Bryan lost control of the Democratic party and now he has lost a fortune. Drown your sorrows, old man, in a sea of Populism. Among the Pencil Pushers it is reported the Fremont Colleague is financially prosperous. Ye gods and little fishes, how the American people do love to be humbugged. Dr. Burdett's colonization scheme, judging from the tone of the Prosser Bulletin, seems to smack largely of a "wildcat scheme." The coon getting the dough and the cat the cahoot. We congratulate M. L. Sherpy on the bright appearance of the Bremerton Searchlight, a newspaper property he has recently acquired. The navy yard folk will find Editor Sherpy a bright acquisition to their town and they can rest assured he will give them one of the best weekly papers in the state if they will only act half fair by him. King county regrets to lose Mr. Sherpy. Two shrewd, sagacious, life-long criminal detectives may have unintentionally permitted a prisoner, heavily manacled, and that, too, on a rapidly moving train, to escape from them, but it strikes us that "there's a nigger in the woodpile." "We call no name nor bear no blame, but Tom Phillips get off my coat," said the fellow who had lost his coat, and yet he was not accusing any one of stealing it. If Mrs. Maybrick desires to make some easy money, and, after all, reach the pinnacle of financial fame she so eagerly struggled for, we advise her to not change her name. There is in this instance a fortune "in a name," and, if she is wise, guilty or innocent of the crime of getting that name, she will stick to it. Remember, madam, you are an American and the "almighty dollar" is still your Lord and Savior. Yes, the farmers of Eastern Washington got sat down on pretty hard in the Tacoma convention, but not one-tenth as hard as they will be, if they are foolish enough to turn this state over to a lot of hungry Democratic office seekers. They tried that in 1896, and they doubtless have some slight recollection of how they "got it in the neck" by the Demo-Pop governor and legislature of like political persuasion. If you wish your business to get before the public you would show your good business qualities by using the columns of the Seattle Republican. This paper is unquestionably read each week by more persons than any other weekly paper published in King county. The Seattle Republican is always full of good, live reading matter, just such as you are interested in, and, for that reason, the people read it and look for it each week. The attorney who has a legal notice for publication makes a mistake in not sending it to this office. If you are too busy to call at the office some one will come for your notice at once if you will call up Main 305 or Independent 1306. The office is at 214 Columbia street. Friday, August 19, 1904. TOWN TOPICS Let Pioneer Place Alone. The proposition on the part of the teamsters of this city to have the city authorities abandon Pioneer Place as a park and have the same paved for a stand for the many teams of the city is both ridiculous and absurd and should not even be given a passing consideration by the city council. Pioneer Place is one of the beautiful spots of the down-town district, and to make a hoodlum resort, as it necessarily would be if all of the teamsters in the city were forced to congregate there awaiting calls from customers, is perfectly absurd. They naturally would attract many of their friends there and the place would, in a very short time, become a lounging spot and a festering sore to those occupying offices thereabouts. There is no more justification for the city to furnish the teamsters a lounging place than any other class of men doing business in the city. If the teamsters feel that they must have a place it would not be asking too much of them to say, "Go and buy it, the same as the other men wanting to conduct business in the city, either on a large or a small scale." Few cities in the country have a more attractive spot in the business center than Pioneer Place and it should be continued as such. Instead of tearing it up it should be beautified to an even greater degree. Returned From the Orient. For the past week H. H. Deaborn, the Seattle tide land king, has not done much else but shake hands with his hundreds of friends in this city. He is hailed a hundred times a day with, 'Where have you been? Glad to see you home again.' Few men in Seattle are more generally popular than H. H. Deaborn. He is an old landmark in the city, having been engaded in the real estate business here for the past twenty years. "I have just returned from the Orient, whither I went last December, and I am perfectly delighted with my trip. I am at least ten years younger from my experience. That country is a revelation to us busy, bustling Americans, and after carefully looking over the field, I am prepared to say that the time is not far distant when our business men will take advantage of the many business opportunities that will open up in both China and Japan as well as the islands of the Philippines and will flock to that country. There are vast opportunities in all of those places for the man with money. There are already a great many foreigners there, but nothing in comparison to what there will be when the Russian-Japanese war has been fought out. Like all people who leave Seattle and return, Seattle is good enough for me. There are a great many opportunities in Seattle for the man with money as well as in the Orient, and after returning from that country I am more thoroughly convinced that Seattle is 'the gateway to the Orient' than ever before. I am home and will at once get things to moving in the tide land section." Alaska Inviting Field. Seattle has many lucrative commercial fields to draw upon and her merchants do not fail to take advantage of them all. The THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Orient may present a splendid lay-out for the trader, but at the same time Alaska should not be lost sight of. That Seattle has done the bulk of the Alaska trade will be readily seen from the following figures sent out by the government: The total value of all shipments of domestic merchandise from the United States to Alaska during the month of January was $117,114. The total value of all such shipments for seven months ending with January, as shown by the Monthly Summary of Commerce and Finance, issued by the treasury bureau of statistics, is $3,495,193. The entire Alaska trade is credited to two customs districts in the United States, Puget Sound and San Francisco, Puget Sound having credit for shipments to Alaska in seven months of merchandise valued at $3,010,011 and San Francisco for $485,182 worth. The Puget Sound shipments originate principally at Seattle, Tacoma or Portland. Seattle's jobbing trade with Alaska for seven months is shown by these figures to have been worth a fraction only of $3,000,000, that figure embracing the total value of the jobbing trade in Alaska of three cities in the Pacific Northwest. Seattle claims a jobbing trade with Alaska valued at anywhere from $18,000,000 to $25,000,00 a year. The trade in the past seven months has been much greater than the months quoted, and at the close of the present year our merchants will have reaped a financial harvest from that section of our country. Spokane Man in Seattle. E. H. Holmes, the well-known Afro-American politician of Spokane, who is correspondent from that point of the Portland Advocate, speaks of his visit to Seattle and the Democratic convention at Bellingham as follows: In Seattle I met the Rev. S. S. Freeman, R. J. Fletcher, Past Grand Master of Masons of the jurisdiction of California, and one of the best-posted Masons extant; J. E. Hawkins, the eminent jurist; H. R. Cayton, proprietor of the Seattle Republican, and the best all around newspaper man in the West, and a host of others. I visited the homes of some of the prominent people in Seattle, and for elegance, comfort and luxury these homes are not surpassed in the United States. H. R. Cayton's home is a magnificent place, an air of refinement pervades the home and the appointments, decorations and furnishings are in excellent taste and show great good taste. Mrs. Cayton and niece preside over this home, and soon put their visitor and friend at ease by their generous and kindly welcome. Ed. Hawkins' home, overlooking the smiling waters of Lake Union, is another domicile that it is good to visit. When I went out to see Ed he was clad in overalls, digging worms to fish with. Mr. and Mrs. Hawkins pretty soon assures to the friend and stranger to their home munificence, hospitality and cordiality that is sweet and wholesome. Their home bears the stamp of master hands and is pretty and inviting. A wide and spacious lawn festooned with flowers presents a beautiful aspect, and the cool breezes wafted in from the lake make this an ideal home. Rev. Freeman is building a church in Seattle that he says will meet the require- ments of the situation for many years. Rev. Freeman is one of those whole-souled fellows, though of the cloth, that bind people to him by ties and links of steel, and is doing a grand work in the Queen City. In Bellingham, the convention city for the state Democratic convention, one fails to see many of our people. But those up there are prospering. It is claimed that the county is the richest west of the Cascades, and no doubt in years to come many of our people will go up in that country and will greatly prosper. Of the convention it is sufficient to say that they put an excellent ticket in the field, and two of the stanchest friends of our people in this country are up for their consideration, viz., George Turner, for governor, and George Mudgett, for state treasurer. Their lives, their records are like an open book, and never in their careers have they denied our people political recognition, help and substantial assistance in their every undertaking. It will give many a colored voter much gratification and pleasure to vote for George Turner and George Mudgett this fall. The convention named the undersigned as one of its temporary and permanent officers, as it has done for several years past. In fact, it is indeed but right to say that the Democracy of the state of Washington is all right, all right. N. P. Loses a Good Man. Is a man's work ever done? Is it truth that only death can end work? Then, is there only so much work by the Creator given to each mortal, and when that is finished, in some manner, in some way, must he respond? Idle as it is to question, yet thoughts come unbidden when one so young, so efficient, so unassuming, so industrious, meets death in the midst of life, while at work, as did George B. Cliff, the self-made and beloved superintendent of the Seattle division of the Northern Pacific, last week. No other man in Seattle occupying such a commanding position was so little and yet so well known, because he was a worker, a doer, a man who made his work his business—even his dissipation. Every man subordinate to him in the employ of his great company loved him. His neighbors highly respected him. He was upright; he was loyal; he was true; he was good. By accident, because he was overworked, his friends say, he met death by drowning in treacherous Lake Washington. The man who never failed in the performance of duty, who loved his men and by them was beloved; the kind father, the affectionate husband, the respected neighbor, the true citizen, earned in life, and by his life, these crumpled flowers. They are given as a small tribute, cheerfully given, yet in sadness because of his untimely death, at the age of only thirty-eight. The editor of the Bremerton searchlight is desirous of a good all around solicitor, for which he will either pay cash or commission. A good up-to-date solicitor for the next month can make a splendid thing out of this proposition, but only persons who know their business need apply.
