Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 41 POLITICAL POT=PIE The Ninth Legislature, which is now a thing of the past, did a great many good things, and likewise did a great many bad things, all of which will be discussed from time to time in these columns without fear or favor. During its life there seems to have been more symptoms of petit graft for the benefit of some one individual than ever before seen in a legislature in this state. There was no $350,000 railroad sack for distribution; in fact, practically no dollars, hence the personal grafts were given much consideration and prominence on the calendar. For an example, the meat inspection bill, the firemen's bill, the plumbers' bill, and a hundred and one others. * * * The Lord was refused admission to the late state Senate, lest the morals of the members thereof be corrupted thereby, and yet the most of the members were taught at "a dear old mother's knees" to look to the Lord for life everlasting. However, had this particular Lord gained admission to the chamber when the legislators were deliberating from a moral viewpoint it would have been a true case of Greek meet Greek, diamond cut diamond, two of a kind. Notwithstanding his shut-out, the banking bill went his way and for another two years he will have absolute control of a million dollars state funds without having to pay a cent for its use. * * * In the failure of the legislature to pass the direct primary law, as was a majority of the members instructed to do by their constituents, a party pledge was broken that will be instrumental in either actually defeating many of the members for a renomination and election or giving them an all-fired amount of political trouble. There was no excuse for the failure of the measure, unless it would mean the retiring from the leadership a few unscrupulous politicians. * * * Before Addison G. Foster's term expired he made terms with the powers that be, which succeeded in having Thomas Sammons, who for the past six years has been his private secretary, nominated and confirmed as consul to a Chinese post. Do not overlook the fact, dear reader, that Senator Foster, after all, came very near landing those whom he wanted to hold federal positions. In spite of Ankeny's opposition, he landed George M. Stewart in the postoffice of Seattle, E. P. Kingsbury as surveyor general at Olympia and Thomas Sammons in the diplomatic service. As in these cases, so has he succeeded since his second year in the Senate. On account of Senator Ankeny's inability to prevent these appointments and confirmations his former friends are beginning to demur at his reelection. \* \* \* Political rumor has it that Hon. Fred. C. Harper will at no very distant date be named for the position of collector of customs of the Puget Sound district, with headquarters at SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1905 [Name not visible in the image] HENRY L. WILSON. A great majority of the citizens of this state are much rejoiced to hear that the Hon. Henry L. Wilson of Spokane has been appointed and confirmed minister from this country to Belgium, one of the most important diplomatic stations in Europe. Mr. Wilson is considered one of the most successful diplomats in the service of the United States and his promotion from the courts of Chili to those of Belgium was not brought about by the usual political maneuverings, but by merit. He will leave for his new home by not later than the 20th of the present month. The accompanying likeness of Minister Wilson is from his most recent photograph, which was taken a few days before he left for Indianapolis, January 29th. . Port Townsend. "All things come to him who waits" is an old adage, and its authenticity can hardly be doubted, and especially when such instances as the appointment of Senator Harper to this be taken as an example. Some nine years ago Fred. Harper was a candidate for this position, and he claims Senator John L. Wilson promised it to him, but Col. Fred. Hustist got the place, which estranged Mr. Harper from Senator Wilson's followers, and which was largely instrumental in the defeat of Senator Wilson at the LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 hands of the Ninth Legislature, for Harper was a tower of strength in keeping the King county delegation from going to Wilson and thereby causing a stampede in his favor. Harper's candidate was elected and he is to receive the place that Senator Wilson turned him down for, more to show the irony of fate than for his real desire for the position. *** (South Seattle News.) John L. Wilson scored a personal victory when he was able to deliver the Governor's veto on the capitol removal bill. No insinuation is here intended that any improper inducements or arguments, threats or promises were made to the Governor by Wilson to secure the veto. The victory achieved by Wilson is due to his sagacity in determining the state of the public mind, and his ability to show the true condition of affairs to the leaders of the party. As a maker of platforms or as a formulator of policies that will win approval and stand partisan contests John L. Wilson has no peer in the state. The leaders of the state legislature can afford to listen to the advice of John L. Wilson. He may have lost personal prestige by his successive defeats for the U. S. senatorship, but he has not lost his powers of constructive and militant statesmanship. It now looks that the destructive corrupt and ill advised Republican forces of the legislature were beaten to cover and some beneficial legislation will be enacted that will redound to the benefit of the people of the state and strengthen the party for the future, and Wilson and the P.-I. are in the front of those that demand the redemption of party pledges and the enactment of enlightened laws. * * * Kitsap county is now a judicial district all by her lonely and J. B. Yakeq has been appointed judge until the next general election. Kitsap, like many other judicial districts in this state, will not have sufficient business to keep a judge busy a tenth of his time, and therefore the state would make money if some of their idle time was put in helping to relieve the congested conditions of the courts of King and Pierce counties.

WASHINGTON'S FIRST TERRITORIAL GOVERNOR. (From The Seattle Daily Times.) Mr. H. R. Cayton, publisher of The Seattle Republican, a weekly issue, has compiled a "legislative manual" covering the Ninth Session of that body in Washington, and of considerable value. The manual is finely illustrated—giving a picture of the new State House in Olympia, the first Governor of the State, members of the Constitutional Convention and of the State Senate, together with the present Governor and Lieutenant-Governor, as well as pictures of members of the Supreme Court, the State Officials and other public men. Besides these, the names of the First Territorial Legislature, Territorial officials and the names of the members of every Legislature down to the present time are given. The manual is a compilation requiring much labor and has been well done. Copies of the above Manual can be obtained at this office, 214 Columbia St.-The Seattle Republican. There are many people in every state who have little actual data at hand concerning their own commonwealth. To all such the following will be of interest and value: Organized as a territory March 2, 1853. Admitted a sa state November 11, 1889. Gold, silver, copper and lead, $1,163,321.

Eastern Washington, through which the Columbia River flows, including the section lying east of the Cascade range. It is, in great part, composed of rolling plateaus, rising from its lowest portion, along the Columbia and Snake Rivers, at an elevation of from 300 to 700 feet above sea level to altitudes of 2,000 feet along the eastern boundary. The soil of this part of the state is generally of volcanic origin and very productive. The rainfall is not heavy, but commonly sufficient for agriculture with irrigation. Western Washington differs widely in topography and climate from Eastern Washington. The arable lands lie in a depression between the Cascade and Olympic Mountains on the west, a depression comprising Pu- Some day the citizens of the state of Washington will vote not only hundreds STATE OF WASHINGTON.

The whole of Western Washington enjoys an ample rainfall and is heavily forested.—Olympian. There is a movement on foot in Bellingham to institute a trip to the Portland fair in lieu of the usual graduating exercises. This proposed change is as yet in the form of a suggestion, however, a very praisworthy one. The fair in itself will be quite an educator and the benefit of attending it as a class, with the presence and instructions of a teacher, should be grasped. A commencement consists at best of too much preparations and dry goods. Rosalia, a small country town in Whitman county, is to have an electric light plant and water works. With the farmers accumulating money as rapidly as they do from year to year there is no reason why little towns under their control do not get the best the market can afford, not only in the shape of light and water, but air and heat as well. There are in the state of Washington approximately 840,000 acres of timber lands, worth $10,000,000. This is an inheritance for the school children of this state for all time to come, and for that very raeson every school district in the state should be given a "good teacher" to teach the little folk to shoot. N. C. Christensen, of Seattle, has seen a large spruce tree in Clallam County, which RRITORIAL GOVERNOR. but thousands of dollars for the erection of a monster monument to the memory of Isaac 7. Stevens, who, of all men, is the most responsible for the Northwest, as the citizens of the United States understand the term. Governor Stevens not only had the honor of being the first territorial governor, but he was subsequently honored by the voters of the territory to a seat in Congress. In the busy bustle of the present development of the state, which is an inheritance of his bravery, our latter day citizens are apt to overlook the honor that is due the hero of the Northwest, but the time will come when his praises will be sung from Maine to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Already there is talk among many of the leading citizens of Seattle to raise by public subscription a fund to have erected on Pioneer Place, a beautiful spot in the business center of the city, a monument quite commemorative of the valorous deeds of Washington territory's great hero. --- Cayton, publisher of The Seattle Republic, filed a "legislative manual" covering them in Washington, and of considerable value stated—giving a picture of the new State Governor of the State, members of the Cons the State Senate, together with the present governor, as well as pictures of members of the Officials and other public men.

The attention of Commissioner Johnson is to be called to the giant spruce, and he will be urged to have it exhibited at the Lewis and Clarke Exposition. It is planned to have a log cut from the tree 100 feet long and placed on exhibition. It will be utterly impossible for the railroads to handle the log, and it is necessary that it be towed to Portland via Puget Sound, the Pacific Ocean and the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. A log was sent to the Chicago Exposition in 1893 by the State of Washington, but in comparison with this one discovered by Mr. Christensen it was a mere pigmy. An old timber cruiser who has tramper Washington forests for over twenty years, on seeing the great spruce tree stated that it was the largest in the state and could be compared favorably with the sequoia of California. THE WEALTHIEST MEN. Who is the wealthiest man in the world? This is a question that is agitating the business both of England and this country.

Senator Tucker has taken a personal interest in the welfare of the university ever since he has been a member of the legislature, and each session he has succeeded in getting CITY. The Irish of this city celebrated the birth of Robert Emmet last Sunday evening and according to reports those in attendance had a genuine old fashion Irish time. It will be remembered that it is characteristic of the Irishman in his native heath to have a good time, and when he has been transplanted to America and badly miscegenated with the Anglo-Saxons on such occasions his Irish blood drops out, owing largely to the fact, there is an overcrowding of fraternizing liq- uid from without, which has a tendency to make an Irishman forget that he was con- ceived in oppression, born in oppression and lived in it until he was able to flee to Amer- ica, where he soon became a policeman and learnt to do all kinds of mean things to a race of people he found in this country as much or more oppressed and discriminated against than himself in his native land. But some one has said an Irishman is a Negro turned wrongside out and the Negro has no worse enemy than himself. * * * Among those whose actively participated in the celebration last Sunday evening was Judge R. B. Albertson. It was news to learn that the judge had Irish blood in him, and it was still more news to learn that the judge would admit the same in public, for we had gotten the impression that Albertson rather boasted of his belonging to the First Families of the South, of which the public hears so much tommy rot about, who in fact are noth- ing short of a lot of illiterate snobs, who can boast of a long and bloody family record. But since it has been learned that Judge Al- bertson has Irish blood in his veins we can understand him much better. ee Years and years ago when the Leigh Hunt’s political regime was in power in Seat- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN just a bit better allowance for it than the previous one until it has reached the princely sum recorded above. That our readers may have some idea of the state university and her legislative sponsor, cuts of both are here- with presented. The legislature ad- journed Thursday evening and Senator Tucker, who was one of its most tle, King county and the state of Washington, “Bobby Albertson,’’ as he was then known among the gang, was selected chairman of the Republican city central committee, which we think, was endeavoring to elect the late John Leary mayor of Seattle. The campaign was a hard fought one, so hard, by the way, that the Republicans lost, and the Republi- cans were endeavoring in the campaign to pacify every element in the city, and of course on the elements that was giving them a bit of trouble was the colored voters. A delegation of colored men was invited to wait on Chairman Albertson, and being at thehead of his party he was expected to show them every courtesy. The delegation called, and strange to say, every one of them was as black as the blue imps of knight, and Alby had to shake hands with them all, smile and look nice and say pleasant things, and last of all, make big political promises. Alby man- aged to hold up his end while the black men were present like a prince, but they had no sooner gone when he completely collapsed, and when Fred Grant came as he, Alby, gasped for breath, he told ‘‘Mistah Graunt’’ he had never undergone a more trying ordeal, for he had had to shake hands with a lot of niggers, and it had so completely unnerved him that he would have to go home for the day. Fred Grant at that was the most amused man in the world, for he could and would mingle-with Negroes as quickly as any one else. The ice crop has been the best in the vicin- ity of Ellensburg this year for years past, so it has been learned from the Loealizer of that place. Well, that’s a boon for the rich when summer comes, but it was simply awfully on the poor when winter was here. i Si i ai sri a ile a iat a s * # active members, arrived home Friday and at once took up the duties as one of the assistants in the corporation counsel’s office. He has made a legislative record that he need not be ashamed of, and if he desires another term in the Senate his constitutents should not hesitate to almost unanimously give it to him. ARE WE CONQUERING THE LYNCHING Booker T. Washington, in his address at the annual conference of his race at Tuske- gee, pointed out that in the last four months only four negroes had been lynched in the southern states. This is a great improvement over conditions in the past. In the corresponding four months of 1903-4 there were 25 negro lynchings in southern states. The average number of lynchings in recent years has been from eight to ten a month. Manifestly in the four months just ending there have been less than a sixth as many lynchings as might have been antici- pated. It would not be safe to argue too positive- ly frof our months’ experience, but surely the facts give ground for hope that the South has already gone a long way toward regain- ings its self-control in handling the race prob- lem. By the end of the year, if not earlier, we shall know whether this hope is justified. If a great revival of respect for law has come it is a triumph for the sound and whole- some public opinion of the South. The North cannot claim the credit. The North, it is true, became righteously aroused over the in- vasion of negro lynchings into its own states two years ago. By its denunciations of the crime it may have stimulated the South to self-reflection. But that is the only merit it ean claim. The North seems to have won its own vie- tory over itself, since no negro has been lynched in the North for almost a year. The South’s task is vastly harder and the prog- resss the South is making entitles it to most sincere congratulations. May there be no time of backsliding in either North or South. —Chicago Record-Herald. HABIT? i : The Seattle Republican Established May, 189 a H. R.

That was the worst blow the legislature could have admin- istered to the Daily Times, which has made a fortune for its owners by carrying such ob- scene literature in its columns. ** * Washington’s Ninth Legislature is now a thing of the past. Its dying days were busy ones and a whole lot of good work was done. There have been much worse legislative bod- jes assembled even in this state than the one that has just become history. * * * “Tg the sun cooling?’’ asks a scientific writer, Opinions differ as to the correct an- swer to the question, but one thing is sure: the son of man is cooling, and preceptibly so, if he has climbed as far as he can, politically, over your shoulders. * * * <<Of little commercial benefit will the Pan- ama canal finished be to Seattle,’’ sagely re- marks Sam Hill.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Vice President Fairbanks is said to be an iceberg in demeanor to those with whom he comes in contact.

As the supply equaled the demand, she remained the same size. * *# # Sheriff Lee of Pike county, Mississippi ar- rived in Seattle and made the statement that if the prisoner, W. H.

NORTHWEST NOTES. The agitation on the part of the school teachers of the state to have the salaries of ‘‘good school teachers’’ raised is not an unjust request, and it should be done, but why put stress on the ‘‘good teachers ?’’ None other but good teachers should be permitted to teach and if the district with only a few children therein and only a small amount of taxable property is not able to pay for a good teacher then the county or state should step in and see to it that that particular community get a good teacher. The school system should be so arranged that every school community, whether rich or poor, could get just as good teacher as could be found. * * # From an Eastern Washington exchange it has been learned that the fall sown wheat of that section has not been damaged by the cold weather and unless something un- foreseen hapens another splendid wheat yield will be the result of this year’s growth, which will mean many thousands of dollars to the farmers. That the wheat farmers are rapidly becoming the moneyed men of the state is plain to be seen. ee 8 Not long since a number of the pupils of the Yakima high school went out on a strike for some fancied or imaginary grievance and stayed out, so goes the report, until they won their point. If young hickories had have been more plentiful in that city the striking would have been done by others in whose shoes the little fellows not able to stand. The parents who permitted the men and women of tomorrow to begin life under such apprehensions is but sewing the seeds of criminality among their offsprings. * * # And now comes one Mrs. O. W. Sanders of Kalama, who declares she has a ‘‘quilt’’ in her possession under which Gen. George Washington slept while he was in the Revo- lutionary war, and she proposes to put it on exhibition at the Lewis and Clark exposition. A great many rather remarkable things are charged up to Father George by our latter day citizens bent on making money at the other fellow’s expense. * * # The Tacoma smelter had an output of $10,- 000,000 last year and only $2,50,000 the year before, and despite that, it went into the hands of a receiver and was sold a few days ago. Is this a true case of ‘‘too much mon- ey??? * * # Snohomish has had a little sensation in the way of a prayer meeting fight. The Free Methodists were holding a meeting, and in telling his experience one brother grew per- sonal, whereupon he was attacked by anoth- er. As the spiritual atmosphere vanished and mankind turned to things more of the earth earthy, others joined in the struggle. No arrests were made and it all passed as the hneiness of the church. CURRENT COMMENT. * * * Directing Great Battles by Telephone. The telephone has been remarkably useful as an implement of war in Manchuria. The United States used it in the Spanish war to a certain extent, and it was a great convenience in camp, but the Japanese have utilized it on the field of battle, and the men of their signal corps have stood again and again under fire with wires and instruments in their hands ready to rush forward and string them up as the troops advanced in the face of the enemy or in following the retreat. Foreign military observers say several battles have been directed by telephone by the Japanese. The Russians may have used them also. The headquarters of Field Marshal Oyama has been connected by wire with the headquarters of every division and many brigades, regiments and batteries, and orders and reports are now given orally over the wires, instead of being sent by aid-de-camps and orderlies. One of the foreign attaches describes a general of a division in the midst of a battle, seated upon his horse with a transmitter in his hand, making a report to headquarters. He was compelled to fill his left ear with mud in order to hear the replies because of the rattle of musketry around him. The Japanese are farther advanced in the use of the telephone than any other nation except Sweden, and the United States now probably comes third. Viva Voce Voting. It is rather surprising that at this late day an effort is being made to return to the method of viva voce voting, but such is the proposition which has been seriously made in Kentucky. An amendment to Section 147 of the Constitution of Kentucky has been proposed which provides: "That all elections by the people shall also be viva voce, and made matter of public record by the officers of election according to the directions of the voter." Kentucky has had a modification of the Australian ballot, which is primarily or at least approximately a secret one, but the politicians seem to wish to compel the voters to disclose how they vote, so they propose to revert to a system which has everywhere else been abandoned. We cannot imagine a more deliberate effort to introduce terrorism into our election laws than this proposition.—Ex. * * * President Eliot Opposes Football.

He says, in part, which gives his general line of thought: "The game of football has become seriously injurious to the rational academic life in American schools and colleges, and it is time that the public, especially the educated public, should understand and take earnest consideration of the objections to this game. "Some of the lesser objections to the game are its extreme publicity, the large proportion of injuries among the players, the absorption of the undergraduate mind in the subject for two months and the disproportionate exaltation of the football hero in the college world. The crude and vociferous THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN criticism, blame and praise which fall to the lot of the football player can be of no possible advantage to any young man at the opening of his active life; on the contrary, it keeps before him an untrustworthy and unwholesome standard of public approval or disapproval. "What then are the sources of the grave evils in this sport? They are (1) the immoderate desire to win intercollegiate games; (2) the frequent collisions in masses which make foul play invisible; (3) the profit of violating the rules; (4) the misleading assimilation of the game to war as regards its strategy and its general ethics. "The essential thing for the university youth to learn is the difference between practicing generously a liberal art and driving a trade or winning a fight no matter how. Civilization has long been in possession of higher ethics than those of war, and experience has abundantly proved that the highest efficiency for service and the finest sort of courage in individual men may be accompanied by, and, indeed, spring from, unvarying generosity, gentleness and good will." Football Favored at West Point. In his latest annual report Brig.-Gen. A. L. Mills, Superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, devotes considerable space to a discussion of the value of athletics, particularly baseball and football, and his views on the subject are particularly interesting in view of the recent denunciation of football by President Eliot, of Harvard. Superintendent Mills differs from President Eliot to a considerable degree in many particulars, as will be shown by this brief extract from his report: "I believe that the stimulus which annual games of football and baseball between the two national academies give to athletics at this institution is a most desirable one," he says. "The object of athletics at any institution is not only its good effect upon the physical development of the portion of the student body participating therein, but also the beneficial influence exerted over all the students by providing hours of recreation, amusement and interest that will remove from their minds for the time being all thoughts of books and studies. Each will return to the more sober work of his life with renewed zest and vigor and the net result in scholarship will invariably be increased over what would be gained had the entire time been devoted to books." Insanity Increasing Among Aliens. The annual report of the superintendent of the Connecticut Hospital for the Insane shows there were 2,250 patients in the institution for the year ending September 30, 1904. "It is useless," says the superintendent, H. S. Noble, "to attempt longer to blind our eyes to the fact that all recent statistics bear witness to a large increase in insanity. It is a fact easily verified by a glance at the statistics of the state that the foreign element of our commonwealth shows a much larger proportion of insanity than prevails among the native born. Although the native insane have increased to some extent, they have not done so in any such proportion as is apparent among the foreign elements. "In 1900 the foreign-born population of the state comprised 26 per cent. of the entire number. From 1898 to 1902, four years, 38 per cent. of the admissions to the hospital were of foreign birth and parentage. In other words, the 26 per cent. of foreign population furnished 38 per cent. of insane during those four years stated, from 1898 to 1902." * * * THE DEATH PENALTY The warden of the District of Columbia jail, where Charles Guiteau was hanged for the murder of President Garfield, has declared himself to be in open opposition to capital punishment. Captain James H. Harris, who fills that position, comes from Noblesville, Ind. He assumed the wardenship on May 5, 1897, and on February 10 he officiated at his twelfth execution of the death penalty, the victim who made the even dozen being Augustus Shaffer, who cut his wife's throat. Captain Harris is an ideal warden. He is cool in all circumstances, stern if the occasion demands it, but always kind. He has instituted some noted reforms. It occurred to him that the bones taken from the meat from which he fed his 500 prisoners ought to bring some money to the District. Now he annually turns into the treasury a sum varying from $100 to $140, derived from the sale of bones. Mr. Harris has also abolished the custom of prisoners speaking on the gallows. The condemned man has his say before he leaves his cell and as little time as is possible is lost between the time that the prisoner leaves his cell and his life is ended. He does not believe, however, that capital punishment lessens crime. It only gives vent to the vindicative feling of society. Life imprisonment, when bereft of any hope of pardon, is more terrible to the evildoer than death. Mr. Harris thinks, however, if the capital punishment is to be done away with the pardoning processes will also have to be done away with. As to how prisoners should be employed Mr. Harris said: "I would have all prisoners perform labor, but as that product of prison labor which enters into competition with free labor is objected to, and probably justly so, by the labor unions, I think that all prisoners in the United States should be employed in constructing great thoroughfares across the nation. "These great thoroughfares, in my judgment, should be built broad enough so that wagons drawn by animals could go back and forth on one side of the road, while motor power vehicles could use the other side. "It would be impossible then for anything to take place that could cut off our large cities from provisions, because stores could be rushed quickly from long distances. A motor power vehicle could be loaded one hundred miles from market in the evening and be on the market in good time in the morning. The time would come when the United States would have the best roads in the world, from the labor of people who are now without work or else doing work to the injury of law abiding citizens." * * * Georgetown, a Seattle suburb, wants her city council to pass an ordinance making the soliciting of alms on the streets a misdemeanor, owing to the fact big husky fellows galore are daily begging on the streets instead of getting out and going to work, as they should do. Do not be hard on the poor fellows, neighbor, for, perhaps, they were born tired. DEMAND FOR RELIGIOUS EDUCATION The Religious Education Association which recently met in Boston presented an imposing and attractive list of speakers. Dr. Charles Cuthbert Hall, president of Union Theological Seminary in New York, sounded the keynote to the meetings when he said: "We must interpret God to men and bring men to God, or dream of building a house without a foundation—'The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom.'" Bishop Lawrence of Boston took up the church as a factor in personal religious development. Dealing particularly with the education of the child, he said: "Through the church's teaching and preaching the child is led, step by step, to a fuller conception of the faith, a higher ideal of life and a larger sense of duty to others. Much of our preaching to children is unworthy of their consideration, and they know it. Children's intelligence, discrimination, and intuition are worthy of respect. We children of the reformation, in our reaction against the abuses of teaching by the rites and ceremonies of the church, do not begin to realize their worth and power in kindling the imagination of children and teaching them the truths of the gospel." MUSIC SETTLEMENT WORK. A novel form of settlement work has grown up in New York out of the efforts of a young woman who ten years ago began to give music lessons to a few children on the lower east side. "Slowly, naturally, irresistibly," says Richard Watson Gilder, editor of the Century, in an article in Charities, "this work has grown; first in a room supplied by a friendly mission, and then in connection with the college settlement and the university settlement. Later, with the increase of oppor- UNCLE TOM AT THE GRAND THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN tunity and scope, the movement has been forced into a separate individual and ever-expanding existence, till we have this new and delightful thing in the domain of social betterment—the music-school settlement." The music settlement forms a center of attraction which is as alluring as it is beneficial. The incentive necessary is found in the desire to be taught music, and the children's very presence in the music rooms show that they are exrpessly interested. The training which they there receive can be secured nowhere else at so little cost. For those who show talent, scholarships are obtained, but any child who wishes to attend may do so by paying a small fee for its lessons. When thought wise, provisions are made for those who are not able to pay even the usual fee. The uplifting effect on the part of the music settlement upon the individual and the neighborhood is evident, the elevating force of good music being well known. We are supposed to lack a musical atmosphere in America, but if these musical settlements spread to other cities they will not only tend towards promoting good citizenship, but will work wonders in America's musical future. CHILDREN IN ART. Albert Reimann, a sculptor of Berlin, about a year ago proposed to mothers and fathers who are members of an art association to send their children on Sunday mornings to a sort of play-modeling. Reimann thought that the presence of a large number of children would give mutual suggestion and stimulation. The fact that the work was carried on in a real studio, with everything in keeping infused life into the work. The children were told to make whatever they wished. They varied in age from 4 to 14 years, and their first work showed many varied inclinations. Reimann seems to possess an instinctive perception of how far to give the children suggestions without taking from them their candor and without appearing to them as a teacher, thereby changing the spirit of entertainment and play in which the child is working. Many of the younger children at first make a "man." Some wish to portray their companions and some work from their own minds from suggestions found in "Memories Hall." The child is left to itself, the leader only answering questions and helping in cases of technical difficulties. It is interesting to note how the individuality of each child minfests itself. One child has a clear sense for salient characters and brings these out as well as the little untrained fingers can; another has a preference for little traits and features, for by-characteristics and peculiarities; a third proceeds with all the defiance of rules peculiar to the child fancy. For example, a child started to model an elephant, but during the work the elephant changed to a large gate. The cause of this lay in the fact that the legs of the animal suggested the pillars of the gate and thus the modeling changed with the suggestion. Such teachings will refine the sense of form and of the relations of single forms to other forms. The capacity, of the children who have attended this art school, for the enjoyment of the artistic side of life will be broadened. There will also be an amount of manual dexterity developed which will serve well in rounding out the manhood and womanhood of these children. FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1905.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the music to be heard may be judged somewhat from the extraordinary prep- arations Creatore made for his West- ern trip. The band was removed from the road for four weeks, over the hoit- day season, during which time exact- ing rehearsals were held every day. The finest possible effects in music may therefore be expected after such heroic drilling. There will be very strong features on every program. THE STETSON “UNCLE TOM” COM- PANY. A big feature and a taking one with pretty nearly all classes of theater- goers is the old plantation songs ana pastimes by genuine Negroes, scuh as existed in the old South on the big plantations in ante-bellum times. *Twas in the evening, when the day’s work in the cotton fields was done, and massa had gone to bed—in the darkened days of slavery—that the dusky toilers were wont to gather around their humble huts and there hold high jollity under the pale light of the moon. Almost true to nature and tradition is the plantation scenes presented by Manager Washburn, of the Stetson Company in “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which is booked to appear at the Grand on Sunday and Monday. All the old melodies are sung in that rich, plaintive voice so peculiar to the Southern darky: Songs that our dad- dies sang when they went to war and songs that our mothers hummed as they rocked the babies to sleep. “The Old Folks at Home,” ‘Suwanee River,” ‘Picking Cotton” and Stephen Foster’s never-dying melodies will all be ren- dered by a large contingent of gen- uine plantation darkies, male and fe- male. A Mississippi landing, with the arrival of a cotton boat and the man- ner of its unloading, also genuine buck and wing dancing will be shown. In the Stetson Company a wonderful ex- position of life in the sunny South among the slaves is given. It shows the black man in his joys and his sor- rows so realistically that it is hard to imagine tue spectator is not actual- ly on the plantation. The evolution of the Negro since the late unpleasant- ness is forcibly demonstrated in the great cake-walking contest, wherein twenty-seven dusky belles and beaux vie with each other to win the cake. The cast of white artists with the company is said to be the strongest artistically ever seen in this produc- tion, while the parade and its many novel features are, we are assured, a revelation in outside display for a company playing opera houses.
