Seattle Republican

historical society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN it has been ours to meet for a good many years, yet he will in our opinion give splendid satisfaction should he be appointed to the place by the president. The political news published in The Republican last Friday to the effect, the Hon. Will E. Humphrey is to be left at home at the next state convention and Frank H. Brownell is to fill his congressional VOL. XI. NO. 37 boots, which is a part of the Piles political program, that is to be carried on in order to keep him in the senate for the next twenty-four years, caused wide spread discussion among Mr. Humphrey's friends. "I've nothing against Sam staying in the senate a hundred and twenty-four years, but I seriously object to him dictating who is to go to the house of representatives from Seattle or the northwest," came from a man who is outspokenly a Humphrey man, not because he is such an ardent admirer of Humphrey, but because he is bitterly opposed to political machines. Such objections as the above have been repeatedly heard since the issuing of the last week's paper and the Pie-maker is therefore of the opinion that, if any effort is made to turn Humphrey down to add a new spoke to the Piles machine, there will be a factional fight sprung in King county the equal of which has never before been seen in these diggings. * * * The shelfing of Humphrey may be easily done providing the Piles machine can win the P.-I. over to its way of thinking, which it may do, but should the owner of the P.-I. think Humphrey was being punished simply because he was inclined to support him for the senatorship in the recent senatorial bout and would not stand for his being thrown down there certainly would be something doing there before little Willie would write an "ex" before his name. There is no doubt but that Humphrey kept his hands severely off the senatorial fight and that fully explains why he did not more favorably consider the Piles telegram, asking him for a part of the patronage to barter away for legislative votes. Humphrey has a great many warm personal friends in King county and who ever starts in to skin him out of the delegation to the next state convention simply because he did not take a part in the senatorial fight and favor the successful candidate, will have taken on to himself a great big load that will worry and weary him very much before the same is signed, sealed and delivered to the secretary of state for a certificate of election, and yet in the light of recent events such a thing is by no means impossible. * * * Rumor has it that, the political friends of Senator-elect Piles have reasons to believe that before the next campaign is on the owner of the Daily Times will have joined the Republican party, thus returning to his first love and will make his paper the official organ of the new political machine that will by SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1905 [Name not visible in the image] I.

Mr. Knickerbocker is slated for the superintendency of the Seattle assay office, and while he will supplant one of the best officials that UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 LICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS my years, yet he will in our opin- ne be appointed to the place by ```markdown ``` Will some one kindly inform an inquiring public in what hole has one George B.

The World's Diary Day by Day. ```markdown ``` Renewed riots between soldiers and strikers at Lodz in Russian Poland occurred today, in which six strikers were killed and forty-eight wounded. Canned tomatoes in Chicago caused the death of one person and the dangerous illness of four others. Whooping cough among the Sitka Indians is causing a death a day and a vast amount of suffering among the affected ones. To the second batch of indictments, as to the first, Senator Mitchell of Oregon says he is as innocent as a new born babe, but the statement does not seem to be believed by any one save the senator himself. Many points of the East report severe cold today. Even the Puget Sound country has experienced an unusually cold snap since last Monday. Jim Jeffries assigns his chief reason for refusing to fight a Negro, "His head is too hard. You may beat him, but you are liable to break your hand in doing it." Hard-headedness is sometimes found on the shoulders of others besides Negroes. Startling as it may be it is nevertheless officially given out that embezzlers in the United States secured $10,000,000 during the past year. In this case embezzling is truly a paying profession. Severe engagements between the Russians and Japanese are reported near Mukden, in which the former lost 10,000 and the latter 7,000 souls. Truly, truly, here are souls to burn. Gen. Stoessel, the Russian commander who defended Port Arthur, indignantly denies the stronghold was prematurely surrendered and that at the time it had 25,000 able bodied men in the works. Stoessel is on his way back to Russia on parole and he has begun to explain early in the game. Los Angeles was damaged last night to the tune of $20,000 from high waters, caused by heavy rains. The streets were veritable streams of surging and struggling watery highways. John Allen and John Breeman, on the New York Central, were killed in a wreck today on that road. A score or more passengers were seriously injured. A thirty day siege throughout the entire Argentine Republic as a result of numerous insurrections in many of the towns and military forts. Some kind of a rebellion is nearly always to be found stalking about in South America seeking those whom it may devour. Strained relations, which may on the slightest pretext break out into open hostilities, are said to exist between England and Germany, and each nation is slowly but surely getting her fighting forces in shape for any emergency. Germany's military experts think the defeat of the Russian troops is due to the fact that they are not loyal to the czar, he being a total stranger to either his troops or his officers. What manner of man in heaven's name could be loyal to such a human monster? Tacoma claims the honor of having the first white child born in what is now the state of Washington, as one of her leading citizens in the person of Hon. Edward Ells, son of Cushing Ells. A band of Yaquis braves, who have been on the warpath for months, attacked a number of Mexican ranches and killed quite a number of working men on the ranches. They are being hotly pursued. J. Pierpont Morgan narrowly escaped being roughly handled by an angry mob on the streets of New York, under the belief that his cab had run down a pedestrian. Morgan was not guilty of the charge. Oregon land grabbers and their stool pigeons are still on the anxious seat, as the grand jury is yet grinding away at Portland and hold a number of indictments up their sleeves to use as a finale. C. K. Beekwith of Cassie L. Chadwick fame is dead. His health has been failing since his indictment and exposure and death was not only invited by him, but received with open arms. He was 65 years of age and bore a splendid reputation. The rank and file of the Russian workmen, who have made St. Petersburg howl for the past two weeks, repudiate those so-called workmen who had an interview with the Czar and got his blessings. Good government and not "hot air" is wanted by the oppressed people. With thousands of colored girls in the immediate neighborhood of St. Louis with deft fingers and quick wits, yet a manufacturing concern of that city imported 60 Porto Rico girls for its factory rather than give the Negroes Representative Doolittle seems to favor the do much motto, judging from his work in the house. * * * Crane (G. T.) is not a rara avis, as would appear from his name; he is only a shoe dealer that has rarah hides shoes for his customers. * * * The passage of no measure now before the legislature would give more general satisfaction than that of the direct primary law. Of course the politicians do not want to see the measure become a law because the opportunity to job the voters would not be so ample. With the direct primary law in effect good men would at least have a show of getting a nomination, whereas under the present system they have no more than a snowball in hades, if it happens that a scallawag wants the job. * * * Looking at the matter from a broad guaged standpoint there is no reason why the legislature should not give the state a splendid local option law. Each and every community should have the right to decide for themselves whether whiskey should be sold therein or not. The saloon man oversteps the bounds when he says to the anti-saloon men, women and children, you must have a saloon and brothal the next door to a residence, willing or unwilling. Such a course on the part of the saloon man is forcing class legislation and neither side should want that kind of legislation. Let each community decide for itself the local rules and regulations for itself and a great deal better feelings will exist between man and man of all kinds, classes and distinctions. *** The question of congressional districting the state is still agitating the legislature as well as the newspapers. As has been repeatedly said in these columns, if the state is to be districted, Eastern Washington should be one district, Tacoma and the southwest should be another and the northwest should compose another. The friends of the present members of the house of congress are bitterly opposed to the state being districted, as it might lose the Republicans one member. In view of the fact there is no likelihood of there being a Democratic congress before a new apportionment is necessary, it seems that all would be well to let the matter rest where it is. * * * If the state owned and operated its own printing plant, and granted it only realized from it the same amount of profit that the usual printer realizes out of his business, 30 per cent., the state has from one legislature to another not less than $100,000 worth of printing and 30 per cent. of even that amount would save the state $30,000 after all the expenses had been paid. If the state had its own plant it could be put in the basement of the capitol building, run and lighted by the plant therein, would have not a cent to pay and only actual labor and stock to pay for, and it is plain to be seen that out of the $100,000 at least $50,000 could be saved by the operation of the plant for two years. Even more than that could be saved, for the state could buy stock in car load lots and thereby save a grat deal. Buy a plant, fellows, and save money for the taxpayers. Friday.

FEBRUARY The Argentine revolution is reported today well in the hands of the gov- ernment forces and the rebels are rapidly taking to the woods for safety. Right Rev. Hoban of Sacramento announced from his pulpit yesterday (Sunday) that he favored young folk indulging in athletic games on Sunday. After all this seems to be the common sense view of the whole affair. Missouri, which appears to be the home of the boodlers, which set out under that banner to elect a United States senator, is still without a senator, the boodle craft having foundered and gone to pieces on the Polk Reefs. The six year old son of Adolph Peterson, on Bainbridge island, near the spot where Prewett Baker disappeared, was attacked by a large cat, sup- posedly a cougar, and would have been torn to pieces had not help came to its rescue. The Colorado supreme court has held that the capital punishment law is constitutional, and as a result a dozen or more criminals now under the death penalty will sooner or later stretch hemp. Procurator General of Finland, Sousalor Soinnen, was murdered by an un- known man. The assassin was captured, he having fell in an unconscious state while trying to eseape. He is unknown to the authorities. Russian nobles have petitioned Empeor Nicholas to permit a more open discussion of the ‘‘state questions’’ by the people of the empire. A bill authorizing railway construction in the Philippine Islands, which gives the authorities power to guarantee bonds to the amount of 4 per cent. of $30,000,000, has been introduced. A street car wreck in Portland, Ore., caused one man to lose his life and a number of others were seriously injured. Accumulated ice on the track accounts for the mishap. Senator Addison G. Foster has promised Congressman Jones to aid in the passage of the bill dividing the State of Washington into two judicial districts, which practically assures the measure. The Oregon legislature has reached an agreement to adjourn February 17th. It on the same day overrode two vetoes of the Democratic governor. The state of Texas is bidding for a Japanese coiony to grow and manu- facture silks. It would not be a bad idea to flood the South with such labor. A blinding snow storm has swept the Halifax coast for the past twenty- four hours, which has resulted in the loss of many lives and a number of boats. Among the notable death records of the week is to be found that of J. H. Manley of Augusta, Me. Mr. Manley will be remembered as chairman of the Republication national committee. Charles M. Schwab of Iron and Steel Trust fame, leaves for Russia in the near future for the purpose of consummating a deal with the government au- thorities to build ten battleships at a cost of $100,000,000. August W. Meachen, former superintendent of the delivery system of the’ mails of this country, who was convicted of misconduct in office, is today a penitentiary inmate. Diller B. Groff and Samuel A. Groff, convicted about the same time of U.S. mail crookedness, were also delivered to the prison officials. Thomas Melham of Minneapolis sued and obtained a divorce from his wife, who is in Europe on a visit, on no other grounds than that he might sell to the Great Northern a lot for $450, which he considered a fancy price, and he having accomplished that, says he will remarry as soon as his wife returns home. Such civilization ! i Uncle Sam has two bran new daughters, whose names are Oklahoma and New Mexico. Arizona and Indian Territories are cut completely out. Senator Foster is accused of having played senatorial polities with State Senator Le Crone by bartering the Tacoma postoffice to him for his vote in the legislature, and for that reason President Roosevelt did not see his way clear to name Senator Le Crone for the place, but will appoint H. L. Votaw instead. It is officially announced that Hon. Henry L. Wilson, minister to Chili, is to be given a similar mission at one of the European courts. Capt. S. E. Lewis, who was in a train wreck during a trip from St. Paul to this city, not only got shaken up, but had his grip taken from under his bed and gold nuggets from Alaska valued at $1,000 stolen from him. Strange that a man who had been to Alaska would leave so much gold under his bunk while he slept. A Chehalis woman suicides by saturating her clothes with kerosene and then setting herself on fire. This form of suicide, although a most horrible way of ending one’s life, is onthe increase among women. It is announced that a Seattle firm was the lowest bidder out of the eleven THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST NOTES. It is highly gratifying to the friends of George M. Stewart to learn that he has been confirmed. Stewart has made an ideal offi- cial. * * # Judge Tallman has handed it to criminals in bigger bunches than any judge on the su- perior bench in King county. * * * Bothel is to have a steamer line running directly up to the shore from the city. A dock is being constructed for the accommo- dation of the steamers. Bothel has had steamboat accommodation before, but never directly to the town limits. By the 1st of April it is thought the Emily F. Keller will take up the run between Bothel and Seat- tle. When the first boat arrives there will be such a stir in Bothel as has not been there since Tracy made his notorious reconoiters thereabouts. * * # The Washington & Oregon Railway Com- pany has purchased 380 acres of fine timber lands near Yacott in Clarke county, paying therefore $2000. This timber consists mostly of hemlock, fir and piling timber and accord- ing to contract must be removed in three years time. There is quite a growing interest in the country in timbers, forests and things pertaining to forest life and growth. This extends from the government down to in- dividuals. * * * Renton is having a run on its brick yards. This is not the time of year for much paving yet the orders are coming in for brick to the extent that hundreds of extra hands are be- ing given work. This comes at a good time to many who were either out of work or en- gaged in that which paid so poorly that they were by severe economy just able to keep the wolf from the door. ** * Everett seems at present to be a lucky stone against which hoboes wish to rub. The town has more than its share and is seeking a way to rid itself.

This shows that the town of Shelton is not only inereasing in population but that they are progressive people. There need be no fears that the finger of ‘‘race suicide’? will be pointed at that section of this state. * * * Tf the present war does nothing else for some countries, it will take some of the ego- tism out of them. Recent investigation has shown that in the Japanese army but one per cent of the sickness is fatal while 70 per cent. of the sickness in the American army during the Spanish war was fatal. And we are not the only ones who are learning that on this terestial globe there are others. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A rancher near Billings, Montana, was re- cently attaeked by a bull and was only able to cope against the hereulean strength of the maddened animal by eatehing hold of the ring in its nose and hanging on to it until his wife could summon help. How like this particular animal some men are; they have no visible rings in their noses, yet there are those who can lead them around by the nose and they hold their heads down regard- less of how much they may kick and roar. “Tt is an ill wind that blows nobody good,’’ ‘tis said, so while the competition between Frye & Bruhn and the Carstens brought on a meat war and they eut prices in order to eut each other, the inhabitants of Belling- ham, the field of operation for said war, ate more and better meat than they had for many a day. The Seattle people—well, they read of it and wished they could still live in Seat- tle and do their marketing in Bellingham for a while. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1905, plying hot coffee to the laborers on a railroad terminal at Forty-second street at noon in order to check their appetite for beer and it has proved effective. There may be con- nected with such an enterprise quite a bit of expense and no small amount of inconveni- ence, but the reward is worthy of the effort. It was never intended that we live for our- selves alone. There are other lives and other interests than our own which have claims upon us. One cannot but feel sympathy for suffer- ing humanity and while kind thoughts go out to W. L. Hayes, a rancher living near Marysville and his fourteen year old son who were injured in the xplosion which blew up their home, caused by them putting gun pow- der and dynamite in the oven to dry out, the feeling that more was expected from a man of 53 years is utmost. It seems to be a fail- ing of human beings to venture out in those things where danger is apparent with the foolish hope that there will be some change in the natural order of things for their es- pecial benefit. “Wanted, a farmer boy,’’ reads a head line. Well, the want will be hard to fill, for the old stock of farmer boys has run so low that they are now going at premium if at all. A farmer boy, free from city taint, free from the late hour habit, free from the love of ease habit, is a hard thing to find save right out in the country, and if he is there, why he is engaged and cannot fill but one want at atime. We just love to see a sturdy, rough-handed, broad-shouldered farmer boy, whose eyes are bright and whose hands are willing, but the ad is a wee bit out of place in a city paper if an old time farmer boy who can and will work is the person desired. No one is justified in using firearms save it self defense and Matsuri, the Japanese bo) who shout Ben Hughes, the white boy, wa: undoubtedly in the wrong when he made ar attempt to take the life of another. The po lice consider him a dangerous character, anc it is said his own people do not speak wel of him, If such be true the charge of as sault with deadly weapon placed agains Matsuri will go hard with the boy. Hughes and his companion deny insulting the Jap anese boy, but the writer has seen Japanes: boys roughly pushed from the sidewalks seen them leave the walks of their own ac cord and walk in the streets to avoid th jeers of American boys. The University of the State of Washington is to have another summer session during the vacation months. Some one has been unkind enough to remark that such a session would be quite necessary so that the students could study a little. All through the year they have to attend to their basket ball, foot- ball, baseball, dance ball, their athletics, their glee clubs, publish their ‘‘Wave’’, get up their minstrels, and then have a creditable three ring cireus, besides getting up their regular commencement exercises, which al- ways kills one and a half months. John Leary, one of Seattle’s pioneers, expired suddenly in California, where he had gone to spend the winter months on account of his health. Mr. Leary was a public spirited man, broad-minded and noble hearted. Besides a wife and near relations who omurn his loss there are hundreds of others for whom he had, in his own way, made the world brighter, and although they do not appear before the public’s eye they know, they feel, they are bereft. It seems to be a foregone conclusion that the capitol removal bill will pass the house of representatives by a significant majority, when the whole propo- sition will be up to the governor to approve or veto the measure. If it passes the house, as its advocates think it will, they do not believe the governor will veto it, but let the people decide the controversy once for all at the polls. And on this point it might be well to tack on a proviso or rider to the bill making the vote final—that is to say, if two-thirds of the voters say it must be removed to Tacoma, Mud Creek, Muckelteo or remain in Olympia, at the same time their votes should so amend the constiutition that the capitol ghost would be driven from the closet and no more be used to punish people for speaking and voting as they see fit. THE MANNERS OF MEN. Several persons who have been styled, students of life, have written on the subject of ‘‘American Manners.’’ The question arose from the dif- ference found in other countries when Americans were abroad. Just why we are growing so lax in our manners has been ae- counted for by these writers in several ways. One thinks that the independence in this country is greater, and hence there is not so much courtesy shown among the people; another thinks that as the old colonial days pass and the new woman rises in the busi- ness world there is a rebound of feeling to- wards both women and men, which has a tendency towards growing into bad manners. Still another, that the newly arrived in their desire to assert their independence rush into the other extreme and become rude. Still others think that mankind must be under fear ere he can treat all persons politely, and that as soon as the dueling code disappeared, whereby.a man must answer with his life an affront made upon another, bad manners be- gan to make an appearance. Says another, the American people are a very busy people, very brusque, their energy and directness often being mistaken for the opposite thing than that intended, yet another claimed that the rich alone are responsible for the charge, as the poor as a rule are very polite. But a policeman at the Grand Central station of New York sounded a very true note when he wrote: ‘‘I’ve been on this floor for sixteen years, and with the exception of a small per- centage of women, I must say that I have found New Yorkers courteous and mannerly even when they are in a hurry.’’ There are some eases in all of the instances cited, but not one of them ean be applied generally. Politeness is a thing not attained in a day, but the habit of a life time. Where it has been properly drilled into the child, carefully nurtured in the youth, those of mature years are safe, there is not even danger of a hurry causing them to become impolite. POTENCY OF THE WILL. When the will is master and the motive of the soul is set right by the choice of the right line of conduct in accordance with fixed etchical principles and by divine aid through the wisdom and power of the Holy Spirit, then the soul is on the highway to salvation, and it is becoming easier with each decision to make another that is right—Rev. Dr. F. W. Luce, Methodist, St. Louis. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN MUNICIPAL GAS PROFITS. The Municipal (London) Year Book of 1904, gives statistics regarding municipal gas profits in 1902, in Great Britain, and some of these are : Belfast, $142,440; Aberdeen, $10,017; Glasgow, 0240,520; Leeds, $55,000; Leicester, $153,990, and Manchester, $667,- 395. The same authority gives this as its official report of 1902 of electrical profits of municipalities: Aberdeen, $79,560; Belfast, $66,745; Birmingham, $173,145; Dublin, $29,- 785; Edinburgh, $310,625, and Glasgow, $379, 325. It also discloses these profits to some of the municipalities having tramways as street car services: Aberdeen, $123,025; Glasgow, $1,- 761,285 ; Hull, $217,020; Leeds, $585,795 ; Liv- erpool, $868,070, and Manchester, $619,855, this sum averaged per passenger less than three cents. i OLD MUSIC PROPERLY PLAYED. The late Theodore Thomas is reported to have said, only a short time before his death: “We are losing the ability to play the old masters. Nowadays they play everything alike, as if it were written for the orchestra of the present day. This is all wrong. In the old days orchestras were different from what they are to-day. The violin bows were clum- sier, the style of execution was totally differ- ent, there was no passion and nothing of the dramatic feeling of the present. I have heard Mozart played with great dramatic and emo- tional feeling. This is wrong. Things will soon come to such a pass that we shall have to start museums. In one room Bach can be heard played in the proper style, in another Mozart, in another Haydn, and so on.”’ The day for such a museum in New York is yet a long way off, thanks to Mr. Sam Franko, who with a small orchestra in Men- delsohn Hall has begun his fifth season of concerts of old music played as it was writ- ten to be played. So played, much of this old music is good to hear, and Mr. Franko’s efforts are worthy of commendation and en- couragement.—Independent. Early Marriages. It is thought that we are drifting towards the day of early marriages. The greatest drawback to this, heretofore, has been a lack of income. Young men hesitate to ask a girl to ‘leave her happy home’? when their means are quite limited; but the new woman is a working woman, even where she does not have to be from dire necessity; she is FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1905. ever striving to do something thereby show- ing that a feeling of independence is becom- ing well rooted and will soon bear fruit a thousandfold. Such a woman takes all the fear out of a man of limited means and he feels that if the one cannot make it the two can. Marriage is a partnership and in no other partnership does one partner leave the weight on the one while the other reaps not only half but the greater portion of the benefits. Of course, if the married couple has attained the place in life where their in- come admits of the wife being more at leis- ure she can then make their home life just as happy as it is in her power to do, their jointed efforts in accumulating means for sustenance not being needed any longer. The man who has contact with the business world not only gains in a financial way but be- comes broader in many ways; the woman who sits at home and ekes out an existence foreed upon them from the small returns the one man’s labor yields, becomes narrow and between these two there is ofttimes a likelihood of discord arising. Hundreds of women feel their dependence when they are forced to repeatedly ask their husbands for money. ‘‘I call it ‘domestic beggary’ pure and simple,’’ said one woman, whose silvered hair shone in the sunlight as she spoke. Had she years ago put her strength with her husband’s in his endeavor to maintain them there would have been independence about her which would have inspired quite a dif- ferent feeling. Women Journalists. From those able to pass an opinion on the matter, comes the decision that women jour- nalists as a body are a failure. Many who have not made a study of the question think this is because of her sex, but not so. Just as a woman’s training from childhood fails to fit her for many other things, so in this field. The average woman never learns that “‘Business is business,’’ and that her time is not her own when she is employed by an- other. Such women are not on time with copy for a paper and cannot be depended upon. Women are said to be slipshod in their lit- erary work and their grammar, spelling, and punctuation are faulty to a surprising degree. One writer has said that in regard to a sys- tem in punctuation women are, for the most part, content with one—the system of dis- pensing with a system. A third fault found with women is that they have taught them- selves to gush with a tendency to hysteria, and this mars their writings to such an ex- tent as to unfit them for the literary world. But there are good writers among women, in fact, four of the eight books which were found to be the best sellers during last year were written by women. E. A. Bennett, who is quite an authority on journalism, has given three questions whereby one ean find out if she or he is fitted for journalistic work: 1. Are you seriously addicted to reading news- papers and periodicals? 2. Does the thought regular occur to you, apropos of the fact or incident personally observed, ‘‘Here is ‘copy’ for a paper?’’ 3. Have you a reputation among your friends of being a good letter writer?. If one can reply in the affirmative to the three queries all that is needed to make a good writer is time and peresever- ence.
