Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 27 POLITICAL POT=PIE Some one seems to be laboring under a great political delusion, which is to the effect that the Hon. John L. Wilson is seeking the United States senatorship as a King county candidate. Neither Mr. Wilson nor his friends are asking anything from King county, and they are certainly not trying to bring any influence on any one of the King county members to cast their vote for him or to act luke warm in any respect to the candidacy of the Hon. S. H. Piles. It seems, therefore, for Seattleites to begin to unnecessarily abuse Mr. Wilson because he does not step aside in the interest of Mr. Piles is puerile and foolish, and is a very poor way to get outside help for their senatorial candidate. Mr. Wilson has strength outside of King county, but it is not recorded that he can throw that strength to any one else, and it is not recorded that he can hold it for himself very long, if this abuse from King county is continued. It begins to look as if some of the more enthusiastic friends of Sam Piles have entered into a contract with the Seattle Daily Times to abuse Mr. Wilson, and it has begun its work well. The Pie-maker is of the opinion that the chances for King county will not be aided very much in the election of her avowed candidate by the friends of said candidate for his friends to have the black-guard journal of the Pacific Coast to pour out a tirade of abuse on a man that has not only always been friendly to King county, but is doing nothing at this time to injure the chances of the man that has been selected as her candidate for the senatorship. If Mr. Wilson is doing any work for himself it is in localities and among members of the legislature that even Mr. Piles' warmest supporters will not admit they have a particle of influence with or the faintest hope to get their votes for their candidate. So it is plain to be seen that this abuse of Mr. Wilson on the part of the Times, promoted, no doubt, by some of Mr. Piles' over-zealous friends, will not help King county to land the senatorship. * * * The Times one day this week gave what it termed a correct synopsis of the senatorial situation, and it is worthy of comment, in view of the fact that, it was written from a Piles standpoint and in an abusive strain of Mr. Wilson. It says Foster will have 45 votes in the caucus, Sweeny 35 votes, Piles 30 votes and Wilson 16 votes. The wildest Foster men have never claimed so many votes for him as that, but granted. Sweeny has never at any time claimed as many votes, but grant that also. The Republican commented last week to the effect that under certain conditions Piles would have 30 votes. Now grant again Wilson will have but 16 votes, which is ridiculous, they are 16 votes that Mr. Piles will never get even if Mr. Wilson gets out of the race. If Foster has as SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1904 many votes as the Times claims he has, and Candidate Sweeny the same, and if Piles has but 30 votes, where at any stage of the game will he ever get any more? Does the Evening Liar think that Piles can break into the Spokane delegation even when Sweeny is out of the race to the detriment of Wilson? Granted the Spokane delegation has no second choice, is the Liar not aware of the fact that a majority of that delegation are old-time political tilicums of Wilson and that it would be perfectly natural for them in case Sweeny could not land, to vote for Wilson? Do not the figures of the Evening Liar frankly admit that of the two candidates, Piles and Wilson, the latter has the outside strength? It seems to us an agreement was entered into some time ago that if Wilson showed more outside strength than Piles, he would be supported by the King county delegation. The Seattle Republican is for Piles, but it takes no stock in this wholesale abuse of John L. Wilson by the Piles organ because Wilson has followers in the legislature outside of King county, who would like to see him go back to the senate to succeed Foster. Wilson has lived up to his agreement, he is still doing so, and the Pie-maker is inclined to think he is in a position to do King county some political good, whether he is or is not in the senatorial fight, and in view of the fact, King county is very anxious to have the next senator hail from Seattle, there is no use of antagonizing him. He is entitled to decent treatment, and it is barely possible he will demand it and come very near getting it before the fight is over. King county wants a senator, and it is surmised that the business men of the city are not very darn particular how he spells his name. The Pie-maker has pointed out before, if the business men mean business, they had better look over the field with care before tying up too hard with any one candidate, and give their united support to the man that can deliver to them, whether that man be Piles, Wilson, Furth, Burke or any one else. Let the business men remember the results of the senatorial contest six years ago, and then again two years ago, and they will make haste in this matter very slowly. * * * The king county legislative delegation held a meeting recently, and after considering many things of much importance it was decided to appoint a committee to look after the appointments in the legislature that should come to this county and it was unanimously agreed by the delegation that Senator A. T. Van De Vanter act as the chairman of that committee, and thereby hangs a tale. * * * "Whenever there is any honor to be gotten out of the political situation Senator Smith and the other fellows from King county are always to the front with both feet, but whenever there is any dirty work or work that will kick up a political muss Historical UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRICE FIVE CENTS then it is always saddled on to Van De Vanter," said Senator Van De Vanter one day this week, "and I am getting good and tired of it. Now, every fellow and his brother will be hounding my footsteps by day and by night to get a political job, and if they do not get them then I will be blamed for it. I am always willing to do my share of the work, but it is hardly fair for one or two fellows to lay back and wait for the glory gourd to be passed around and always sidestep when the cuss can comes sailing down the line." Anther Shocking Assault Case Such a carnival of crime on the part of old men on the persons of little girls has never before been heard of in the Northwest as has been brought to light in recent weeks. The authorities had not more than got Schultz, the Fremont wretch, safely behind the bars for a crime that was so shocking as to make court-hardened officials shudder on hearing it repeated, before one E. A. Schwartz, a Redmond fisherman, and his two sons, respectively 19 and 17 years of age, are complained against for continued assaults on the man's own 13-year-old daughter and the boys' own sister. When confronted with his crime, Schwartz senior committed suicide rather than face the courts, but the two boys were landed in jail, and if the summary vengeance of a mob was ever needed for protection to society, here is an instance, and a mob could not operate more advantageously than to take those two young human monsters from their cells and drop them into a boiling tank of oil. For the past two years it seems the father and the two boys have daily assaulted their 13-year-old daughter and sister, and each of them knew of the other's acts. Talk about fiends incarnate, but has one ever seen a more shocking example? Burning at the stake is too good for such beasts, and their half dead carcasses ought to be fed to howling hyenas. Each of those men should be arraigned in court next week and put on trial at once and be sentenced to the full extent of the law, even if that meant death. We shudder to think of the public wrath and indignation hereabouts if either Adams, Schultz, Schwartz and his two sons had been Negroes instead of human monsters, who boasted of being "white men." Though King county has for the past fourteen years had a Negro male population fluctuating between 1,000 and 2,000, yet a similar crime has never been heard of among them, and that, too, despite the fact that for the most part those Negro men are classed as criminal inclined and exceedingly lax in their morals. When will the storm of assaulting little girls abate? Worse still, what has come over the "superior race" here of late, that it has begun to exhaust its carnal passions on their own little baby girls? Do we need more law for their protection, or do we need no law in order to protect innocent little girls from their brutal fathers and brothers? Let's get one or both in action. foe cia See VOL. XI.

Seattle seems to be getting Moore plans for a City Hall than she had figured on. * * * Davenport, this state, suffered a Big Bend in its banking affairs the other day, and her depositors are now sorry they had a bank account. The South, it is claimed, is good and tired of receiving its political orders from New York, and win or lose in the future she is making preparations to go it alone. That the struggle at Port Arthur is a death one is plain to be seen, and it does not require big bold headlines in the daily papers to acquaint the public of that fact. * * * "Roosevelt's Future" is a local newspaper headline. That ought not to worry you, neighbor, a tenth as much as your own future, which, at this writing, looks rather dark. Those who ate turkey on last Thanksgiving day certainly paid for it. These muchly coveted birds tipped the scales at the highest wholesale prices seen in Seattle for the past twenty-five years. * * * The report that 10,000 voters in Indiana threw away their vote trying to vote for Bryan for president proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Tillman, Vardeman and Jeff Davis are not the only damphools in the Democratic party. *** If a resolution introduced in the city council by Council Daulton is favorably considered by that body there is going to be a shaking up of telephone rates in this city, especially from a Sunset standpoint—and the idea is by no means a bad one. According to the Illinois official count of the late election the Democratic party has about disappeared from the political arena. What a pity it could not have taken that very wise step a century ago and the United States would have been many millions the better off thereby. If there is anything at all in the old Snoqualmie power plant you can bet your last dollar that its present general manager, O. D. Colvin, will get it out of it. He is a business man up to the hilt and will soon have things humming about his shop to the extent that the other fellows will see that there is something doing. * * * Port Arthur is still falling, so it is reported. Is the fall of ancient Rome to be repeat- --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ed and Port Arthur's deferred a century or so? Unless we are mistaken Japan sooner or later will be up against the same proposition as was the Boars in their fight with England, who fought well for a while, but soon got winded. * * * If the present Congress does not cut down the representation from the South it will be direlict to its duty and the Republican voting against the measure will be remembered at the polls two years from now. Governor Vardeman of Mississippi says he is willing to accept the cut to totally disfranchise the Negro. It will not hurt the Negro, so let the knife be applied to the very quick. * * * The day of the fatherly old man whose hoary hairs endear them to the hearts of every one seem to be waning. If this abusive treatment towards children does not cease on the part of old men mothers will ere long have to teach their little girls to flee when a seeming friendly hand pats their cheeks, and to believe that back of the fatherly smile lies evil intent. To thus tear down faith in humanity would be a great pity. * * * We have an acquaintance who is drinking himself to death because his family does not properly appreciate the efforts he has put forth in their behalf. Poor fool! If one family does not appreciate you, get another family and perhaps you will have better results. At all events a man who drinks to excess on the theory of "drowning sorrow" is half crazy and is more an enemy to himself than his unappreciative family. *** Within the past twelve years statistics declare 77,000 persons have committed suicide in this country. Evidently they wanted to take human gore and were too cowardly to tackle any one but themselves. Last year 9,000 murders were committed in this country, and for the past twelves years over 100,000 have been committed. Add this to the suicides and it will make over 200,000 murders in the United tSates within the past twelve years. Is this a civilized country? you inquire. Well, it may be, but the criminal records do not show it. CROW WON ALSO. A Coon, a Possum, a Crow and a Wolfe were candidates at the last election. The Coon was Foxy and got elected, but the Possum, the Crow and the Wolfe all got in the soup.—Willapa Harbor Pilot. FAVORS FURTH The United States senatorial question will from now on be uppermost in the minds of the people of Washington. There are a number of prominent candidates for the position, any one of whom would perhaps prove satisfactory to the public, but there is one man who, while not an avowed candidate, still would doubtless accept the honor if thrust upon him. However, so far as inaugurating a contest for it, that is out of the question with this gentleman. The man referred to is Jacob Furth, of Seattle. Mr. Furth is a business man—a very successful one, and has great responsibilities resting upon him. He has made money, but made it honestly, therefore he is to be honored, rather than censured. He is true to his friends and a FRIDAY, DEC. 2, 1904 worker for the interests of Seattle and the entire Puget Sound country. If circumstances should arise at Olympia this winter, whereby Mr. Furth should be selected for the United States senate, thousands of people throughout the state would be rejoiced to hear of such a result. Jacob Furth is a man among men, always true and loyal to his friends.—Bremerton Searchlight. SURE YOU ARE LYING? A few of the "faithful" Republican papers of the recent campaign have been enumerating themselves. There were scarcely a dozen in the state that "stood pat" with all the candidates—state and county. What's going to be done about it? One "Black" Republican paper says "withhold patronage give it to us, the faithful ones!" "Us," and the other fellows may be needed, some day. Better be good and get together.—White River Journal. A STRIFE BREEDER The Seattle Times is interesting itself very much over the United States senator proposition. The Times is a very officious organ, and would be in its element if it could stir up a factional fight in the senatorial contest. All of the aspirants are good, reliable men and would do both justice and honor to the state of Washington in the United States senate.—Washington (Munroe) Transcript. THE PARAMOUNT FOUND. The paramount issue with Eastern Washington is a regulative railway commission bill, and from all appearances they stand a better chance of getting one at the coming session than at any previous session. There will be a hard struggle for the United States senatorship among the west side candidates. Among the west siders who appear to have a following are Addison G. Foster of Tacoma, John L. Wilson and Samuel H. Piles of Seattle. There are about 40 votes on the east side for a commission bill, but it remains to be seen whether they want it bad enough to band themselves together and deliver the 40 votes to the senatorial candidate who in turn can deliver them enough votes to pass a commission bill. This, of course, would necessitate the sacrificing of all eastern candidates, as it is hardly possible that either Charles Sweeney or A. B. Campbell, aspirants from Spokane, could control enough votes on the west side to make any showing with the solid 40. With the commission bill out of the way it would be a battle royal all down the line with victory slightly in favor of Sweeney, who starts in with almost the solid backing of the east side, while the west side is badly split up on three or more candidates. It is supposed that the representatives and senators from the east side will leave no stone unturned or advantage untaken to carry out the wishes of their constituents in securing the passage of a railway commission bill, and we believe they will be truthful to their pledge.—Rockford Register.

Theatrical Notes The four big new features in this season's Greater Black Patti Troubadours' performance are "Looney Dreamland," a musical skit on Luna Park and Dreamland, Coney Island; "Pastimes on the Plantation," an exquisite and realistic exposition of the plantation scenes, dances and sayings of the genuine darkey, an imposing spectacle, the "Glory of the Fair," typefying the magnificence of the St. Louis Fair and the "Offenbach Review" and kaleidoscope of the fascinating Parisian melodies selected from the Grand Duchess, La Parihole, Geneine de Brabaut, Girrofe Girrofla, and other standard opera bouffes, by the great Offenbach. Black Patti and a quartet of accomplished people, assisted by the pretty "Dixie Chorus" of 40 voices, will give voice to the singing and standard opera features. Among the vocal solos, duets, quartets, and ensembles that Madame Sissieretta Jones, the Black Patti (recognized as the greatest singer of her race), are a beautiful composite of the popular ballads and most recent musical compositions interpolated with the Offenbach melodies. Madame Jones will introduce the "Rose's Honeymoon," a magnificent concerted ensemble, written exclusively for her by Messrs. Witmark and Sons; also "Lolita," by the same publishers, and a sweet bit of lullaby melody called "Dolly," written especially for her by Mr. Trever L. Cornwell, tha musical director of the Black Patti company. Madame Jones will also sing some of those beautiful Southern ballads, which have always been a pleasing and popular feature in her repertoire of song, and one or two arias from Traviata, Lucia, and other standard Italian operas. These songs in which Madame Jones appears will be embellished with magnificent scenery in illuminations and costumes. The gowns worn by Madame Jones and the ladies of the company, have all been imported from Paris, and are the very latest creations of the Parisian modiste. Madame Jones will also sing a beautiful new ballad, written by Mr. Bob Cole, of Cole & Johnson, the well known colored entertainers. Mr. Bob Cole has written many of the numbers which are to be sung in the "Looney Dreamland" skit. He is also responsible for the staging of the company's new and gorgeous production. John Rucker, the Alabama Blossom, said to be the funniest colored man alive, Bobby Kemp, the "Shining Light," and reputed to be the best colored singing comedian in the world; James Crosby, the elongated comedian; Anthony Byrd, the old favorite Virginia Mammy; Mattie Phillips, the unbleached soubrette; Ida Forcen, the pickaninny singer and dancer; Christian and Reed, skatorialists; Harry Kratton, the most wonderful hoop rolling artist under the sun, will sustain the helping comedy and special features of the performance. In this season's repertoire of the Black Patti Troubadours there are over 25 of the newest and latest coon classics. Among these is the new choral number which promises to excel any whistling tune of the present day, "All Aboard for Dreamland," sung by the entire company. Another big coon ensemble that promises to create a sensation is the ballad and chorus called "When the Coons Have a Dreamland of Their Own." Among others equally popular are the "Maids of Timbuctoo," sung by Ida Forcen and Company; "Lazy Moon," a beautiful Hawaiian march, sung by Bobby Kemp and Maud Turner; "Big Indian Chief," a musical study in black and red, blending the music of the Indian with that of the Negro, sung by Reed and Gillaume, and chorus, "Give Me the Leavings," which song hit promises to be the sensational song hit of the season, and a song that will outshine in popularity "All Coons Look Like to Me," and "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," former creations of the Black Patti Troubadours, will be sung by John Rucker, who is without question the very best exponent of this style of music. This song was written expressly for Rucker by Bob Cole. Another tremendous song hit is scored by Mattie Phillips by her inimitable rendition of "I'm Going to Leave." The finale of the first part promises to be one of the most sensational features ever seen in connection with a colored show; it is called "Give a Chicken One More Chance," sung by James Crosby and company, with a principal who is six feet four inches in height, dressed in a chicken costume, as realistic as the art of stagecraft can conceive, with the entire company assisting, with appropriate costumes and features. In the "Pastimes of the Plantation," some of the real sweet old time Southern melodies will be rendered, including "Dixie," "Good Old Georgia," "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny," "hTe Essence of Old Virginia" and "Suanee Riber"; "Old Kentucky Home," "Massa's in the Cold, Cold Ground," and "My Maryland." Now that the Bostonians, that famous and representative singing organization, which has held the most commanding position in the history of light opera singing in this country for over 30 years, has passed away, it remains for the Greater Black Patti Troubadours to sustain the popular interest in the melodies of the standard operas and songs of the day, and the songs of the Sunny South. As a singing organization, the Black Patti Troubadours is absolutely without equal in this country. The press of the United States has proclaimed this to be a fact and though they are only humble colored entertainers, yet when they blend their repertoires, all question of race, creed and condition is forgotten. The Black Patti Troubadours will be the attraction at the Third Avenue Theatre next Sunday, December 4th. "SHORE ACRES." It is doubtful if a single play-goer who witnessed the first production of "Shore Acres" in Chicago during the season of 1891 and 1892, realized what a lasting success it would prove. Mr. Herne certainly never believed "Shore Acres" would live as long as it has. He offered a half interest in the play during its Chicago engagement for two thousand dollars and the manager who failed to see its reasonableness has been kicking himself ever since, as the play has made nearly a half million dollars profit. A fine scenic production of "Shore Acres" will be given at the Grand Sunday night. "ARIZONA." The following pleasant episode happened during "Arizona's" run in London last season: The King and Queen, Princess Victoria and the Prince and Princess Charles of Denmark attended the performance on the second Monday of its presentation. At the conclusion of the play, there was a pleasant little ceremony; Bonita, the leading lady of the piece, was summoned to the royal box, where she presented to the Queen a beautiful boquet composed of lilies of the valley, white orchids and white heather, bound with a ribbon in red, white and blue stripes, the American colors. The bouquet was presented on behalf of the American company playing in "Arizona," and Her Majesty expressed her pleasure in accepting it, and said the play was "charming." His Majesty said to Bonita, "It is a splendid play; well acted; I enjoyed it very much." Their Majesties shook hands with the young actress, who was overwhelmed at their graciousness. On the preceding evening, the Prince and Princess of Wales witnessed "Arizona." In presenting the bouquet Bonita said: "I wish the fragrance of these flowers could convey to your majesties the deep love and respect felt for you by the American people." The King smiled and remarked: "Very pretty, very pretty." "Arizona" comes to the Grand next Wednesday. Smith's Dancing Academy Where all the latest dances are taught.
