Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name] HON. FRANK H. BROWNELL Who is Slated to Succeed Hon. Will E. Humphrey in Congress. ```markdown ``` POLITICAL POT=PIE The election of Sam H. Piles seems to have been the beginning of more troubles for Postmaster George M. Stewart, whose nomination has been recently sent to the senate by the president for confirmation, but been held up by Senator Ankeny, which hold-up was concurred in by Senator-elect Piles the next day after he was elected. While the senate has temporarily held up the appointment, it is not believed that the president will consent to withdraw the name, and if Stewart is defeated it will be by the united action of Ankeny and Piles on the senate floor. If this is done the arguments advanced for the defeat of Stewart by the senators, and especially Senator Piles, would prove very interesting reading matter for Seattleites. --- VOL. XI. NO. 36 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1905 In view of the fact that Stewart has had so much trouble in succeeding himself, the members of the King county legislative delegation, in casting about for a compromise candidate for the place which would not be a millstone about the neck of the newly elected senator, in the absence of State Senator O. A. Tucker and without his knowledge, decided he was the proper man to succeed Stewart, and they took their plans to Piles, and he approved of them and forthwith wired the president to give him time to get there and look over the field, as he had a compromise candidate. Should Senator Tucker receive the appointment, The Republican can say without hesitancy that a good man will get the place. Mr. Tucker has never held any public position in which there was a dollar's worth of remuneration. He has twice been elected state senator, and has made a most admirable representative. He has always been loyal to King county and voted historical society 3,1905 PRICE FIVE CENTS for her senatorial candidates to the last ditch. He has not sought this place, but would not refuse it if appointed. Following in the wake of the Tucker appointment it is said on very good authority that Senator Piles has decided to have Representative W. H. Clark succeed Tom Payne as deputy internal revenue collector of this port, I. B. Knickerbocker succeed Fred H. Wing as superintendent of the United States assay office, Potter Charles Sullivan succeed Jesse A. Frye as United States district attorney, Frank A. Twichell to succeed Dr. Allen P. Mitten as customs collector. There are still other lesser appointments that are in store for those who worked for Mr. Piles' election, which have not as yet reached the light of day, but will do so at no very distant date. * * * Along this line it might not be out of place to state that the new senator, who has given it out that he expects to hold the senatorship which he has recently acquired a certificate for for the next 24 years, is apparently laying the foundation for a splendid working political machine. It is given out by his workers that Congressman Will E. Humphrey was not a very enthusiastic supporter of Mr. Piles, and now that King county has a United States senator, it will be good politics to send the next congressional nomination to the northwest. The wish being father to the thought, it was then and there decided that it should go there. What county should get the plum was then the question. In view of the fact that Whatcom had the governor, Jefferson the lieutenant-governor, Kitsap the state auditor and Snohomish only the secretary of state, it was thought best to send it to Snohomish, and if it went there no one else but the Hon. Frank H. Brownell was entitled to the place, owing largely to the fact that he had twice been a candidate for the place and lost because King county failed to give him the proper support. Mr. Brownell is one of the brainy young men of the state, and if ever sent to congress he will at once make his mark. * * * While the nomination of Brownell would not be objectionable to a great majority of the Seattle folk, yet Congressman Humphrey has made a most acceptable member of the house of representatives of congress, and it is surmised that he will want to succeed himself, and to that end he and his friends will work accordingly. Humphrey is making his influence felt in the halls of congress, and that influence is reaching Seattle and having a very salutary effect, and it would therefore appear in Senator Piles' effort to defeat him he has taken onto himself a big job, and the Piemaker would not be greatly surprised if he has not begun to borrow much political trouble before his term of office even begins. * * * A bill has been passed by the senate which has for its object the submission to the qualified voters of the state a proposition to remove the capital from Olympia to Tacoma. In view of the fact that something over $300,000 have just been paid out by the state for the new capitol building, it was thought the removal question had been settled for the next ten years, but the burning of the Olympia hotel, which caused an extortionate price to be put on rooms by the residents of Olympia has brought about a new agitation of the question. Tacoma is more centrally located, and if the question is submitted to the voters a majority of them will certainly vote for the capital removal. * * * That part of the printers' combine of this state that has leased the old Gwyn Hicks printers' junk shop at Olympia are now busy trying to unload the old clap-trap off on the state. This old junk shop is as old or older than the state of Washington, and it is fit for nothing but junk. The state sadly needs a printing plant of its own, but under no circumstances does she need the Hicks plant. It would be about the same as buying a second-hand suit of clothes, which was fit only for the rag-bag. The men fathering this deal have no greater aim in life than to skin the state out of vast sums of money and give her nothing in return. They are now charging the state 50 per cent more for the printing they are doing for the legislature than the work is really worth. The profits are divided among the members of the combine in Tacoma, Seattle and Spokane. The combine's unscrupulous lobbyist hangs about the members 20 hours each day begging them to pass first one vicious measure and then another whereby he and his associates will be given another opportunity to rob the state treasury. Let the state get a plant, but let her get a new plant, and then select some honorable gentleman like O. C. White to buy it for her. Put an honorable gentleman in charge of it as superintendent and its savings to the state will simply be marvelous. * * * It is quite true, as said L. C. Gillman, a Seattle's railroad tool, that all of the previous legislatures refused to pass a railroad commission bill; but they never did so until the railroad companies had dropped for the members' future comfort and pleasure about a bushel of railroad passes, as well as all the way from $100,000 to $350,000, which was the cost of the last legislature to the railroads. * * * Mr. Cotton of the O. R. & N. said some very clever things to the railroad committee, but he did not say a single thing that carried with it either convicting or convincing argument. Mr. Cotton reminded one of a fierce little fice that fairly covered itself up with a cloud of dust he scratched up trying to frighten a big dog. He did not answer a single argument advanced by Mr. Paulhamus. * * * Nothing in the shape of legislation would be more outrageous than the passage of the proposed law granting men in the various fire departments in the cities of this state a pension. The principle is not only bad, but it would establish a precedent that would open the gates to every class of men in the state to demand pensions from the state government. Firemen in the various cities can quit their jobs at any moment, hence they give up nothing in serving the city. The man who proposed such a measure can THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN rightfully claim the cake for "graftitis," for it's one of the worst symptoms ever met on the public highway. [Name not provided] SENATOR ORVILLE A. TUCKER, Who is Endorsed for Seattle Postmastership. HOUSE BILL NO. 40. A corporation attorney of the state of Washington admits that he is the author of House Bill No. 40. This is a bill that provides that in all cases of unliquidated damages where the injured seeks to recover and contracts with his attorney for a contingent fee that he shall not be able to contract at a greater sum than 20 per cent., unless a copy of that contract is served upon the corporation or person derelict, and then the same shall not exceed 33 1-3 per cent., and then, in the event of failure to maintain his action, that cost judgment shall go against not only the plaintiff, but also his attorney who prosecutes his case, no matter how honest he may be in that prosecution, and no matter what the true facts and circumstances may be. This is a corporation bill, pure and simple. It is intended to limit attorneys in their right of contract, a limitation placed upon no other class of men in the world, save those who draw a stipulated salary such as a public officer. It is calculated to discourage litigation in case of personal injury or where the rich, in any sort of unliquidated damages or claims, whether they be for personal injury, or otherwise, would undertake to browbeat and mistreat the poor man. The effect of such a bill, if it would become a law, would mean that lawyers in the state who maintain a respectable practice would refuse to take a damage suit for the recovery of unliquidated damagaes, unless he should receive either a cash payment to compensate him, or security for the same, resulting finally in an injury to the litigant, provided he has no means of paying the attorney fee required, or giving security for its after payment. This would be a denial of justice to the poor man: it would benefit no one save the rich corporations, or the mean, contemptable whelp who, after wronging another, would arbitrarily refuse to arbitrate his case or to have it adjusted in our courts. It remains to be seen whether the judiciary com- mittee of the two branches of the legislature of the state of Washington is so dominated by corporate influences, or if they will at all sanction a bill of this character. Fair warning is given that if any such law is passed it will be charged to corporate influences and the Republican party will suffer thereby and the members of the legislature voting for such a bill will be the first ones who will be called to account. CURRENT COMMENT. How much more ought individuals have an eye, as it were, to their future needs since the railroads have begun to demonstrate the wisdom in so doing by growing their own railroad ties. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company on the tracts of land purchased in Maryland and Delaware plans to set out trees to be used as railroad ties in years to come. Tracts of land in other states have also been purchased and this year, near Altoona, a forest of over 25,000 trees was set out. * * * A fireless, smokeless, waterless engine has been designed for the Southern Pacific Railroad and it is said to be capable of 100 to 120 miles an hour. Its running power is obtained from a dynamo fed by an engine run by a combination of compressed air power and fuel oil power. To surpass that some one will have to design an engineerless, conductorless, porterless outfit and one thing can be assured the Southern Pacific Railroad cars—they certainly will be passengerless. * * * Prof. Morse, to whom we have ever given grateful thanks when sending our telegrams, will soon have served his time of usefulness in our memories and be placed by the side of his system on the shelf of forgetfulness. The supplanting device whereby messages will hereafter be sent by the operation of an ordinary typewriter key board was invented by J. C. Barclay of the Western Union Telegraph Co., and is steadily growing in favor. Tests on it have been perfectly satisfactory. There is no need of a man being at the other end of the wire when one of these new messages is sent so long as the paper on the receiving machine is kept straight and replaced when a sheet has been exhausted. * * * Mr. Carnegie has recently given to Luther Burbank, the garden wizard, a liberal ten years' allowance to aid him in prosecuting his wonderful work among fruits and flowers. It is hard for one wholly unacquainted with the growth of Mr. Burbank's work to realize that he has produced plums destitute of stones, blackberries of pure white hue and daisies four inches in breadth. Mr. Burbank says he will have no time to make money in the future, and that his castle—the mind—must be clear and alert in throwing aside fossil ideas, and replacing them with living throbbing thought, followed by action. Mr. Burbank uses the expression, fossil ideas, when one thinks of those white blackberries and the modest little daisy expanded to four inches in breadth; it begins to be apparent that one must grow more progressive or, if he be permitted to remain on this globe fifty years longer, there will be more things classed among the fossil than ideas. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1905 "CUBS AND LIONS." The following words were not spoken in 1905, though one might almost suppose that they were the utterances of some advocate of President Roosevelt's policy of federal control of railroads: "Are continental corporations, the vast railways, with enormous capital, liable to exercise no dangerous influence? At present the rival methods and conflicts of these roads are a sufficient check. But will it always be so? The combined capital of four roads running westward from the Atlantic must be $1,000,000,000. The days are near at hand money is to bear a relation to politics scarcely yet suspected, notwithstanding our experiences of corruption. If it were in the interest of these four vast corporations that a certain policy should be pursued, and that certain men should be put in power to execute them, their concentrated councils and their enormous wealth and influence would go far to counterbalance all resistance. I do not assail the system of general management of railroads. They are young, they are lion cubs; and it is wise to consider, while we play with them as kittens what they will do when their nails and teeth are grown and their haunches are strong." These words were uttered in 1878—twenty-seven years ago—by Henry Ward Beecher. They are of interest now as revealing the number of years "the railroad problem" has been under consideration, and how the peril of the growing concentration of the railroad power appeared to one of the greatest minds of the country in 1878. Then Mr. Beecher spoke of the railroad systems as "kittens," but asked if it would not be wise to consider what they would do when their nails and teeth were grown and their haunches were strong. What the people of today are considering is whether the cubs of 1878 have become the lions of 195. If Mr. Beecher, nearly a generation ago, thought the young railroad systems of that day were a possible menace to the country, is it strange that there are multitudes today who fear the power of the fullgrown systems, and think of them as lions with sharp teeth and strong haunches, going about seeking whom they may devour? It makes, after all, comparatively little difference whether this conception of the railroad power is altogether correct or not. The fact that the power exists, and that the people fear it, is a reason why both government and railroads should seek to establish some system that shall create a reasonable balance of control, protecting the railroads in their rights of property and the people against monopoly and discrimination. Unless this shall be done now, what will be said of the railroad problem twenty-seven years from now by some Beecher of 1932? And may there not long before that time be organized a "lion hunt" that would make even the king of beasts tremble?—Wall Street Journal of January 24, 1905. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. The Republican party does not occupy an enviable position on the question of the railroad commission. The last state convention refused to embody such a proposition in its platform. The Republican legislatures in the past refused to pass such laws. After the election there was a change of sentiment ap- [Name not visible in the image] MITCHELL GILLIAM; It seems to be admitted that the court business of King county requires another judge. We should not complain. It is another indication of our rapid growth. The Governor can be trusted to appoint an honest man of experience. The appointment will be made, it goes without saying, without jobbery or trading. It will be one of the eternal fitness of things, and after it is done we will all be glad. We need the judge. We can trust the Governor. parently by many of the prominent Republicans of the state. Each candidate for the office of United States Senator declared in favor of a railroad commission, so did all of the leading journals. The governor in his message advocated it. Several such bills of one kind or another have been introduced. The legislature is now warned that the people will accept nothing less than a commission that will have full powers and a commission that will in spirit and in truth be clothed with sufficient power that it can regulate railroads to the fullest extent. This is a case where the people of the state will permit of no trifling, jugglery or evasion. IN THE PAST. At the last session of the legislature a jury fee of $12 deposit was enacted. Already the costs of litigation in our courts were excessive, almost prohibitory. Let us see what they now are in an ordinary case, as against plaintiff, all to be paid in advance: Clerk fee ..... $ 4.00 Service fee, average ..... 3.00 Witness fees, average ..... 13.60 Jury fee ..... 12.00 Judgment fee ..... 6.00 grams, court reporters, personal loss of time and costs to litigants, all of which must be borne. Not one cent is included for retainers to his lawyers. Is this a just burden? Should not something be done to relieve rather than more to repress? THE BARRATRY LAW. The last legislature passed a law of this kind, at the instance of corporate influences, that goes further than any other law of like character in the civilized world. By it no lawyer can ask for business, solocit business, loan money to clients, or procure a loan for clients. Yet it is charged that the lawyers who prepared the bill bulldozed, schemed and bargained for their own employment with the corporation who they now serve sought further to serve by having such a law on the statute books of the state. Surely we have not reached a condition of "dog eat dog," where the chariot-riding lawyer of the corporation, who rides on a free pass, wants to devour the poor devil who represents the mangled and maimed and gives succor after the "ambulence-riding doctor" and 'claim agent' of the corporation have done their dirty work, such as is daily practiced. Let us look at things broadly. The trouble with corporations and their attorneys is that they do not * * * JUST A WORD. THE REPUBLICAN is a Republican newspaper, at all times, in season and out of season, advocates the doctrines of the Republican party. America, and the best in American institutions, have been best promoted by the principles and best thought and earnest endeavor of Republicans and the Republican party. The people have with a wonderful unanimity voted to uphold the Republican party and its principles. This comes as a sacred trust, one requiring the highest fidelity in performance. Treat it not lightly, for today, more than ever before, do the people think and independently act. The Australian ballot law, so-called, has educated millions of "independent voters." The legislature of the state of Washington should avoid frenzy or intoxication because of the fancied security in the "powers of numbers" in the voting majority. Every law enacted will be more closely scrutinized than ever before. Every man weighed, who is found wanting, will find he is called to account. This is truth. Be not deceived. The truth is, Washington state needs but little remedial legislation. That which is needed is conceded. Everybody now agrees that a railroad commission law should be enacted. But it must be a commission bill that means something substantial. It must not be a farce. If it is "hell will be a poppin'." Outside of this there is no crying need. However, there are indications that the railroads of the state think they "own" the legislature, and many bills in their interest have already been introduced which should be carefully scrutinized, and, finally defeated. No mistakes must be made. This is not the time for railroads to control legislation. It is the time for conservative action. Will the legislature adopt the wisest course? This is confidently expected. The people have so trusted. rrr : The Seattle Republican Established May, 189 H. R.

It is sad enough to see women frequent such places at all, to say nothing of them making themselves a public nuisance. * * * “Are champagne, punch, whisky, cigars and playing cards necessaries of life?’’ is the question which Judge Hanford sidestepped and many of our citizens puzzled their heads over. If men’s actions are to be taken as indicators of life’s necessaries these things are indeed essential to the existence to the species known as man. ee # Quite a few misdemeanors, such as rude- ness and similar small but annoying things, which take place in the society of today, are said to be due to the great influx of emi- grants who have flocked to our shores and become intoxicated with the freedom of speech and actions.

And woman, lovely woman, as she reads of these seals, thinks not of the seal steaks which those Indians will eat for breakfast, dinner and supper, or of the great quantity of oil which will be secured, ah no! She just wraps her self in that lovely sealskin coat which she so much desires and wears it down town—in her imagination. eo # ‘A rather unsual fight in the way of a race war was started on last Monday evening be- tween some Japanese and Filipinos. Several of the Japanese had become Americanized enough to carry knives and pistols, but the Filipinos were sailors and unarmed. The great mother of invention—Necessity—was THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN called upon and suggested the throwing of dry sand into the eyes of the Japanese. The plan worked well and there was a great mix- up when the patrol wagon arrived. ‘‘Accounts are correct,’’ said the finance cominittee of the council after examining the books of the city comptroller and treas- urer. And a long suffering public took a deep breath of relief. Appropriations to per- sonal needs out of the publie funds are so common, as our scientists of today have it: the microbes of the disease hishonesty are so prevalent, that a report of books having been gone over and all accounts found in good condition, brings about a reaction in feeling which is quite refreshing. Mr. James E. Zook, mayor of Ballard, may not have known that the young woman, Ro- sena Grover, with whom he associated from early childhood, had in her system germs of consumption all of those years, nor remem- bered that his father, uncle, aunt, and sister all died of consumption, so making it a wrong to humanity for him and Miss Grover to be- come man and wife, but the wealth and hon- ors, such as they are, which the mayor now possesses have a more telling effect upon Mr. Zook, in the mind of the public, than does the dread of the disease. Whereas, the Nipper burglar is an evil be- ing and ought to be caught and punished as his crimes deserve, there is no other one man in the city who has done more for the adavneement of those stores where firearms, locks and bolts are sold. Every new escapade which Mr. Nipper has, several men and doz- ens of women wend their way to these stores; the men to secure weapons with which to kill the burglar, and the women to purchase patent locks and bolts to prevent their back door keys from being nipped and the burglar using his own key to enter their houses. * # # The subjects for the six lectures to be given the Young Men’s Christian Association were well chosen and will undoubtedly better aequaint young men with the municipal mat- ters of the city. The subjects are as follows: Juvenile courts, the city school system, the police, streets, parks and boulevards, librar- ies, and city buildings. Great is the pity that the young women do not hear these kind of lectures more often than they do. There would be more young women who could ex- press an opinion instead of shutting up like a clam when such topies of conversation are introduced. A lovely woman in a beautiful evening gown is all right. One can even enjoy the same when worn by the actresses on the stage, but when, as in the Sultan of Sulu, a pretty girl comes out to sing and dance and one is kept in constant dread lest more be seen than he or she paid their money to see, the effect of the gown is destroyed and the pleasure of the evening marred.

A petition signed by 300 women, among which signers were the wives of Gen. Chaffee and Admiral Schley, was presented to the senate committee in the interest of the re- establishment of so much of the canteen as permits the sale of beer at army posts. These women believe that the conditions peculiar to army life, and best understood by those who have personal experience along those lines, makes the effects of the canteen bene- ficial. The W. C. T.

Further legislation regarding the question which the petition em- braced remains yet to be made. * * # It is real tiring how some people, especially Southerners, seek to gain notoriety by mis- representing President Roosevelt or trying to pick flaws in his utterances and taking offense at the same. What manner of man would he be if he left no room for differences of opinion, where some ninety millions of people are concerned. Those sensitive mind- ed people act as if they had tied their feel- ings up in little white rags and attached them to their fingers’ ends and all the president had to do was to walk around and squeeze their hands to see how much they would flinch. From little, little has always sprung. * * # Darwin with his man and monkey talk has been the butt of good-natured jokes for a long, long time, but at last the Darwinian theory has in Dr. Henry M. Storm, an able physician of London, quite a convincing ad- voeate. For six years past a resident of India, where the people are exponents of this belief, which is one of their ancient theo- ries, Dr. Storm has become a convert to the idea of Transmigration. The treatment he and others used in India in substantiating this belief, is peculiar, in its way. The mind is electrocuted to a degree and under cer- tain conditions the subject under treatment begins to manifest decided animal tenden- cies. Judging from the way some men treat their fellow-men not a few ought to bark say- agely. Schurz “The Jews should become less Talks to clannish.’’ suggests Carl Schurz the Jews. in an address before the Educa- tional Alliance of New York. A fine sentiment, but a very hard one to do. Says he further: ‘‘Let every one of you re- member that the very first thing a citizen has to do is to make up his mind what he believes to be right and for the best interests of the community in which he lives, and then go ahead and do it regardless of all else.’” Any people who adopt this view of life will not only have the approval of their own conscience, but will be regarded as a bene- ficial addition to the community in which they live, but Jews as American citizens, will, like many other people, find a stone wall in their pathway if they should become ambitious politically or venture too far socially. After all there exists too much of the ‘‘America for the Americans’ feeling in these United States. OO Eee FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1905. MATTHEWS VS. GILL. symptoms of graftitis, Couneliman Hi. ©, Gill, president of the council, spoke as follows: “T had hoped that Dr. Matthews would stay here and hear our reply to his bundle of assertions gathered from the back files of the Times, instead of sneaking away like a dog. “T want to say that I was here in this city striving to make an honest living when he was a gambler in Tennessee running a ‘nig- ger’ crap game. He was run out of his state, and the people in the county in which he was raised would not let him stay there a minute if he went back there today. “T know his reputation. When he came here he was entangled with a disreputable woman of the under world and went down there to see her regularly. He is still going, too, in closed hacks with the curtains drawn. “Had it not been for my leniency and the desire to save the name and family of a young girl from disgrace and shame, he would have been in the penitentiary today. When a young girl was criminally assaulted within the very shadow of his church, it was only to save this girl and her family from disgrace that he was allowed to escape the peniten- tiary. “The girl is right in this city today, and I can prove my assertions any time. This dirty eur has gathered a lot of stuff from the Times and from the man who runs that paper and come down here making charges against the council. I want to say that I will be here making an honest living when this man and that man of the same stripe at the head of the Times are not here. “He says I owe my election to a clique. I want to say that I owe it to no clique. I was not eleteed by the Great Northern and the men who are at the beck and eall of Jim Hill, James D. Farrell and those men. I was elect- ed because the men in the council voted for me, and I want to state right here that de- spite the influence of the Great Northern, Mr. Hill, Mr. Farrell and Col. Blethen I will be elected to sueceed myself. Col. Blethen has tried to down me ever since I was elected president of the council because the Great Northern didn’t want me to be elected, but he will never down me. “Tf I should tell what I know about Mr. Alden J. Blethen, some facts that I have proof of, he will not publish a paper in this city five days after I begin. ‘‘Matthews says I have defended gamblers. As a lawyer I took my oath to defend any man who needed defense and came to me for it, whether he were charged with murder or with something else, and I will continue to de- fend the clients who come to me for defense. They say I have gotten bail for clients. Yes, and I always get it. Sometimes when men are thrown into jail and for spite are refused bail it is necessary for me to go out and de- mand their legal rights. I do it, and despite everything, the mayor, the chief of police and any one else, I get bail and I always will get it. I do my duty as I see it and I always will.”’ It is now up to Dr. Matthews to make Councilman Gill prove his awful charge or he stands convicted in the minds of reason- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN > pieces 2 ponerse .- verti CN 4 ere ei be cao Aerob a0 ag : peerage a ue) fj : I <. jee i ( |) ea | - N HIRAM C.

If Dr. Mat- thews has been seeking cheap notoriety ever since he has been in Seattle it strikes the Seattle Republican that he has succeeded in getting it at the hands of Mr. Gill. Mr. Gill is a lawyer and would not have made such statements had he not had some grounds for doing so. If all, one half or any part of what Rey. Matthews charges some of the members of the common council of the city of Seattle be true there exists in our city a ‘“‘robber’s roost,’’ the equal of which can only be found in a hell’s ‘‘half aere,’? ‘‘a hole in the wall,’’ or in a ‘‘dead men’s gulch.’’ A divine in good standing, pastor of one of the leading churches of the city, hav- ing a congregation made up of the very elite of our Anglo-Saxon civilization, he himself highly edueated, polished and refined—out- wardly at least—not jury guilty of being either insane or criminal, says to the men, elected for their honorableness to watch over and protect the city’s interest, that in a score of ways they showed grave signs of malfeas- ance in office, public plunder and of being guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors. Not only says so in glittering generalities, but specifically points out where there is much room for suspicion, under such circumstances it’s high time for you and each of us to stop and study ourselves to see where we are at. Water will not rise higher than it’s souree.— A government can not rise higher than it’s inhabitants and, if the desire to make money on the part of the citizens of this country, leads them to indiscriminately rob one an- other by those in power passing laws to legal- ize their stealings, then the United States government has long since reached the zenith of it’s power and she is now drifting, drift- ing down to utter, utter perdition. These awful accusations and charges hover about every legislative body that assembles in this country and, if but a small part of them be true, there exists in this country an awful state of affairs, which, if not immediately remedied , will come down upon us like a mighty avalanche and this great Republic will be a thing of the past.

It is only with difficulty that the heads of the churches hold on to those things which in their wisdom it is best to recognize as the foundation of the Christian belief and Christian churches. Dr. Lyman Abbott has become a convert to the new idea of things and in his address to the student of Harvard University at Cambridge, it was not surpris- ing that one of the newer beliefs was being advocated so much as it was that Dr. Abbott was the man doing the advocating. Among other things, Dr. Abbott said: ‘‘Yet God has a personality. God stands near us. We are ever in the presence of God and so come to realize His proximity and love. God makes for good. Man’s progress is upward.”’ The doctor still holds on to much of the old orthodox belief, but mixes it up sadly with the more advanced thoughts of the day and hence is charged with heresy. #4 8 Fanny When we sing those two beautiful Crosby’s old songs ‘‘Safe in the arms of Songs. Jesus,’’ and ‘‘Reseue the perish- ing,’’ our minds often go back to the days when we attended Sunday school every Sabbath morning in the little meeting house where father and mother worshipped and perchance from which they were borne to their last resting places since we left home. Those were days when we liked to attend the Sabbath school, and we liked to open our books and sing ‘‘Rescue the perishing.’’ We have grown away from those songs now and those days and to a large extent those church habits, but perhaps we would enjoy casting a few thoughts to the writer of those two songs, mainly because she is a woman who has not outgrown any of her love for those things which used to be and still are near to her Christian heart. Miss Fanny Crosby, the blind hymn writter is still living with her sister at Bridgeport, Conn. Miss Crosby will be 85 in March. She has written 6,000 hymns. She does not seem old, her voice is clear and her words are bright and although she is blind she never loses an opportunity to speak a helpful word. Her whole life has been devoted to her mission work and hymn writing. She says: ‘I love my mission work. It keeps me out in the open air and if I were kept from doing it I believe it would injure my health.’ Such words coming from a blind woman of 85 years shows what a re- markable woman she is. All methodists throughout the land will be given an op- portunity to send her a gift on ‘‘Fanny Crosby day,’’ the 24th of March. * * # “Poverty breeds wealth, and wealth breeds poverty. The wheel sinks simply to reascend. The ranks of the wealth are unceasingly re- eruited from those of the poor. Poverty pro- duces vigilance and economy; vigilance and economy bring honor and riches; honor and riches are apt to cause pride and luxury; pride and luxury easily glide into idleness and extravagance, and idleness and extrava- WHAT NEXT? The legislature of the state of Washington having completed its work in the election of a United States senator, so during the remaining days of the session it can devote its attention to matters of legislation. The Republican party is responsible to the people for the action of this legislature, and it behooves every legislator and all of his Republican constituents to see that the action of the legislature in the discharge of laws is entirely free from the influence of corporations. The time has come when the people will no longer stand or tolerate a man in public life that is not acting for the best interests of the whole people and has only special interests to subserve. The people will no longer tolerate any party that permits its representatives in legislatures to be the willing tools of selfish greed on the part of grasping corporations. The personal rights of the whole people should be protected by the laws enacted by a legislature; laws that permit no man or corporation to do the smallest wrong to the most humble individual, without being compelled to compensate for that wrong. This is the foundation of our liberty, and any man that passes a law contrary to that principle is an enemy to the American civilization. There has been in the past too much patch work on the part of legislators to relieve wrongdoers. The laws should be so enacted that there would be no wrongdoers, and the only way to prevent wrongdoers is to see to it that the courts hold them to the strictest account. Let us leave the courts free and open so that the poorest citizen can have his rights maintained in court. There are now pending certain bills before the legislature that were conceived and fostered by corporations in order to relieve them of responsibility and deprive people of their rights, and in many cases make the people so deprived of their rights a public charge. It is needless to say that if these bills are passed by a Republican legislature, the parties so untrue to the rights of the people will be consigned to ignominious obscurity and the Republican party, being responsible for having elected such men the faith of the public in the party would be greatly shaken. BAR ASSOCIATION CONDEMNATION. It is reported that there is around the legislature at Olympia members of the legal profession acting as paid lobbyists in the interest of corporations. At the last meeting of the State Bar Association the growing tendency of corporations to employ lawyers to act for them in the interest of procuring legislation in their behalf was unanimously condemned by the members of the bar then assembled. It was the consensus of opinion that a lawyer that undertook such menial service for pay in behalf of a corporation should be ostracized from the profession; that a lawyer's first duty was to the state and to the courts, of which he is a sworn officer, to see that wholesome legislation in behalf of all the people, with special interest to none, should be passed by our legislature, and that if he ever did any work in that line it should be done as a citizen and not in any way as the hireling of a corporation. It is hoped that the respectable members of the bar will take this matter up and see that the profession of the law is no longer degraded by permitting corporations to hire attorneys as lobbyists before the --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN legislature, against the interests of the people and of the state. This is said against the lawyer acting as a paid lobbyist; how much it is for a lawyer to come before the people of his district and be elected to either branch of the legislature and then become the advocate of measures in favor of corporations, against the rights of the people of whom he is supposed to be the representative. In a free government the people must look to the lawyers as the guardians of their liberties and rights, and every man when he becomes a lawyer should fully recognize that this is his first duty. DON'T MUZZLE COURTS. It is a startling trtuh that America has a larger number of deaths and injured persons because of the negligence of the railroad companies than any other country in the world, compared with the number of passengers hauled, or employees subjected to the peril of the machinery that is operated. This has become so great that President Roosevelt called attention to it in his message. Railroad managers immediately came forward and accounted for this, saying that it was because employees did not obey the rules promulgated. The law journals immediately answered that if the railroad companies possessed the power to hire men capable of promulgating rules they should possess the power to employ men to see that the rules were enforced, or men who were capable of obeying rules. The Southern Pacific immediately issued an order that every employee who should disobey any rule would be at once discharged. They have recently issued a statement that their accident list has fallen off 90 per cent. This is significant. If our legislature in enacting laws will hold the employer of labor, whether corporation, municipal, or otherwise, to the highest degree of care the result will be fewer accidents and consequently fewer suits and less necessity of the enactment of laws prohibiting suits. THE GAGGED LAWYER. Corporations through their great wealth surely are enabled to hire able lawyers. They do so hire. These lawyers when so hired should not confess a weakness. They should not degenerate into common pothouse lobbyists. They should remain men and professional gentlemen. When they fail to do this they should be branded. If they do these things against their own profession, they will do worse against the public generally. When a lawyer hires to a corporation he should not sell his manhood. If he does he is not worth his salt. He is simply a hired tool and unworthy of consideration and the party who is swayed by him or his agents will sooner or later go down to defeat. The doctrine of President Roosevelt of "The Greatest Publicity," applies. Let's turn on the light! THE "DAMAGE LAWYERS." THE REPUBLICAN personally cares but little about the so-called "damage lawyer." He always has taken care of himself, and doubtless always will be able to do so. The trouble is that this class of legislation is proposed by the corporations and is a menace to the whole people. It applies to all cases of unliquidated damages, it effects the whole people wholly in the interest of corporate interests. The small mill owners are FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1905 being used and put forward, when the end comes, and at all times the heaviest burdens will fall upon them and the general public. On this account the time is ripe for some emphatic protest. * * * A TERRIBLE TRUTH. It is a monstrous fact that there are in the King county poor house hospital, and in the poor house hospitals of other counties of the state, a large number of persons injured by our corporations, where they become a public charge and are maintained at the public expense, paid by the taxpayers and yet because of the high court costs and the closing of the doors of our court houses to them, and the legislation now upon our statute books that prevent them having a fair hearing in court. These men who were once a public asset by being producers, are now made a public charge because they are a consumer and no longer a producer. TRUST OUR COURTS AND JURIES. The poor man does trust our courts and does trust our juries. The corporations and their lawyers do not trust either—they seek to dominate or control. If by power of their might they can dominate or influence, they do not hesitate to exercise it. If they think it cheaper and easier to operate snake-like through the legislature, that is the route traveled. This is their present intention in the state of Washington. FRENZIED LEGISLATION. proposed on the part and in the interest of the corporations. All this legislation proposed will sooner or later be exposed, sifted and comprehended, and the party responsible for it held to blame and a strict accounting. There is no time like NOW to defeat the same. The law allowing a contractor to shift by reason of his having a sub-contractor or "independent contractor" is likewise vicious and needs disapproval. OUR POSITION. THE REPUBLICAN has always stood and always will stand for the rights of the people; it has always opposed, and always will oppose, legislation or any public acts that favor any particular class, corporation or otherwise. By reason of its firm stand for these principles it has gained a foothold in the confidence of the people and exerts an influence that is certainly flattering, and it is only carrying out these high principles that these articles are now published. The sentiments contained in these articles are voiced by nine-tenths of the people of the state of Washington. COURTS AND JURIES CAN BE TRUSTED The legislature of the state of Washington cannot afford to say to the world that we have got a judiciary in this state that cannot be trusted; neither can they afford to say that our juries cannot be trusted to cope with the common affairs of life. Corporations wish to muzzle the courts and the juries, both of which have been the bulwark that has been the greatest facor in our commercial, mental and moral upbuilding. Our judiciary as it stands today is unmatched by any in the world and its ill-effects come only from legislative enactments promoted by selfish interests. ee _"#._.L eee eeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeee FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1905.

Attorney Andrew Black has com- bined business and pleasure and taken a trip to Shelton, county seat of Ma- son county, He says that the enter- prising people of that little berg have erected a hotel that is worthy of the name. So large a building where the patronage would be so small seemed to Mr, Black a little premature, but, said he, there is such a thing as a town growing to the size of its hotel. A letter has been received at this office from San Francisco which reads: “My Dear Sir: I would like very much to learn the whereabouts of Mr. J. P. Alleyne, who is a cook. He was keep- ing a roadhouse in Nome, Alaska, in 1900 and 1901-2, and is said to have left there for Seattle and California in 1903. I am in possession of informa- tion of great value to him.” Mr. Al- leyne or his friends can obtain the name and address of the writer by ap- plying at the office of The Seattle Re- publican. The following communication has been received: “A, M. BE. Zion Church, Twenty- eighth Avenue and Madison Street.— This church and people have started out at a very encouraging rate with their pastor and they are destined to do a great work in this city. Rev. Woodward is a great preacher and a hard worker. He is known in his con- ference as one of the greatest church builders on the coast. The members and friends of the A. M. E. Zion church gave a surprise on their pas- tor, Rey. Woodward, on last Friday evening. Those present at the neat little parsonage fitted up for the pas- tor were: Mrs. Mary T. Transom, Mrs. Jennie E.

It has been a long time since there was as much sickness in Roslyn as at the present time. The weather is beautiful, yet there is but little work. Much sickness and little work do not tend to make very happy looking faces, yet some have lots of grit; they just smile and hope for better things. Mr. McRackard of this city is pre- paring to go to the valley to take up a ranch and show what great things a western rancher can do. Mr. J. E. Shepperson has been con- fined to his room for two weeks, but is able to be out again at this writing. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Mr. I. M. Sally has not been able to work for three months, Mr. Simp is on the sick list. Mr. W. . Morrison and H. Robison made a flying trip to Yakima on the 25th. J Mr. H. Grover and family leave on the 31st for Calum, B. C. Mr. C. Nichols may be _ counted among the Washington ranchers here- after.
