Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 44 POLITICAL POT=PIE There seems to be no doubt of the fact that Seattle and King county will be the political storm center of the state for the next four years, which is already gathering over the head of the Republican party even at this early stage of the game. First of all, King P. WILL E. HUMPHREY. county is to take the initiative in leading Congressman Will E. Humphrey into political retirement, if the Piles-Brownell plans work well, and to accomplish this feat Senator Piles has enlisted the aid, assistance and co-operation of some of the shrewdest politicians in the county, and he will, so it is currently reported, import many outside leaders, who will take delight in sending Humphrey down and out. For Humphrey to win in the convention he must at least have the support of his home county, and this they believe they can take from him. *** On the other hand, Humphrey, who recently returned from Washington, has already [Name not visible] got busy repairing his political fences. He has something of an organization already and of course he has not let the grass grow under his feet since he has been in Congress and the work he has done for the state at Washington City will do him some good, both SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1905 in and out of King county. If he can only enlist the sympathies of the Post-Intelligencer and its owner, and it is believed he can, he will put up a nasty primary scrap against the Piles faction. These prospective political troubles constitute symptoms Number One, proving that Seattle will be the political storm center for the next four years. * * * Already there is a strong anti-Mead sentiment brewing in King county, and before he will have made all of his appointments this sentiment will have crystalized into a well developed opposition and a strong effort will be made to send a delegation to the next quadrennial state convention as bitterly opposed to his renoimnation as was the delegates to the last state convention to the nomination of Henry McBride. Mead's veto of the capital removal bill, strange to say, made him many enemies in King county. In short, the removal of the state capital to Tacoma was a part of the program which landed Sam Piles in the Senate and, of course, the Piles faction will be "forninst" the Governor for a second term. Then, again, there are politicians in King county by the scores who think Governor Mead is altogether too friendly with ex-Senator John L. Wilson for the party's good, and that will lose him votes in King county. But weakness is sometimes strength, and if it be true that there is a line-up between Mead and Wilson the latter will take up his fight and through the columns of his great daily make Rome howl for his candidate. In these are to be found symptoms Number Two that Seattle will be the political storm center for the next four years. * * * The recent transfer of the Hotel Diller by W. G. Potts to State Senator C. F. Clapp and to George Stevenson, the well known legislative lobbyist, who, perhaps, has more strong political supporters throughout the state than any other one man, barring none, and his subsequent announcement that the hotel under his management is to become a political rendezvous for state politicians, a regular lobby to be erected for their accommodation, show that he is laying dead for the political bosses. The friendliness of the Clapp-Stevenson combine to the Piles faction and their opposition to Wilson and his paper are self-evident facts that a battle royal will be the result, and these are symptoms Number Three that Seattle and King county will be the political storm center for the next four years. * * * On good authority it comes to the ear of the Pie-Maker that Senator Levi Ankeny is to be Fosterized at the expiration of his senatorial term, and what, heretofore, has been his tenth legion, politically speaking, is to transfer its allegiance to D. B. Crocker, the statesman from Walla Walla, who is now internal revenue collector at Tacoma.That Crocker is endeavoring to bunch the political cards of the state with the view of himself falling heir to the senatorial joker is already an open secret. Baker is to be United States marshal of the new district to lend official aid to his candidacy in Spokane. Joe Lindsley PRICE FIVE CENTS is to be district attorney for the same reason, and Senator C. T. Hutson is to be assistant district attorney, to bring strength to him from the southeast. In view of the fact that Stevenson withdrew from the clerkship fight and the field left clear for the appointment of Dr. W. H. Hare of North Yakima, he will try to deliver Yakima and Kittitas counties to Crocker in the Eleventh Legislature. Clapp, it is believed, who will reside in the [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a flower on his lapel]. W. G. POTTS. Fifth ward of Seattle, will either himself be a candidate for the state Senate or he will spend a mint of money endeavoring to renominate Billy Potts, who, it is believed, is an ardent Crocker man. Potts, however, will be opposed for this nomination by Frank H. Renick whose candidacy will be championed by Senator Wilson and the P.-I. With Clapp and Stevenson the Piles faction will undoubtedly be lined up as against Wilson, and these constitute symptoms Number Four that Seattle and King county will be the political storm center for the next four years. * * * Owing to the fact that the united opposition of the King county delegation in the late [Picture of a man with a bald head and a mustache, wearing a dark suit and a patterned tie. The background is black.] C. F. CLAPP. lamented legislature to the passage of a direct primary bill is largely responsible for such measure not becoming a law, now the members of the Ninth Legislature will be put on the carpet by their respective constituents (Continued on page 3.) THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Picture of a man in a dark suit, sitting in an ornate chair, with a serious expression.] BRADY'S CHEAP LIGHT PROPOSITION BRADY'S CHEAP LIGHT PROPOSITION to each customer as they see fit, but having accepted a public franchise, having accepted the use of our streets for the erection of poles, they have become bound to treat the public alike whether that person uses a small amount of electricity or a great amount of electricity. The position of the electric companies is certainly untenable. If a person can have a 3c rate after using sixty kilowatt hours, why should he not have a 3c rate after using ten kilowatt hours or any other number that pays for the installing charges connected with each customer. This is a matter that interests everybody. There is no desire whatever to cripple any of the electric companies, not to prevent them from making interest on their investments, but there should be a determined and well fixed plan that the charges made are reasonable and that they are uniform. Let everybody act and the end will be accomplished. We have noticed that Edward Brady has filed with the City Council a petition requesting the City Council to fix a uniform charge for electric light furnished by the corporations under franchises granted by the City Council. We are pleased to see this matter brought to public attention. It is an open and notorious fact that the charges for electric light in the City of Seattle are exhorbitant and practically amount to an extortion from the people. We believe that any company that receives the right and privilege to erect poles in the public streets is in duty bound to treat all of its patrons alike and that the charges made should be regulated by the City Council in the interest of the people. The cost of electricity when generated by water is the cheapest lighting that can be had. A question that the public should consider is this, why should the people in the City of Seattle pay 12c per kilo-watt hour for electricity for lighting their homes when electricity is delivered at the switchboard in the City of Tacoma at eighty-five hundredths of one cent per kilo-watt hour. In other words the people of Seattle are paying fourteen times as much for lighting their homes as electricity is furnished to the City of Tacoma. Just think of this extortion. Let every individual in the City of Seattle; let every improvement club in the City of Seattle take up this question and have it determined on a correct basis. Accompanying the petition of Mr. Brady is an ordinance that requires a uniform charge and fixing the maximum charge at 10c per kilo-watt hour for the first ten kilo-watt hours and 2c thereafter, the measurements to be made quarterly. Those that have generated electricity by steam state that it costs about 1c a kilowatt hour here in the City of Seattle. A retail price of twice that amount is certainly sufficient and the 10c for the first ten kilo-watt hours pays for the cost of installing, meter readings, book-keeping and collections. We believe from our study, and from our inquiries from persons experienced in the generating and distribution of electricity that 2c per kilo-watt hour is sufficient. We see no reason why a person in a small home, when he pays for the cost of installing and the cost of meter reading, book-keeping and collection incident to each customer, should not receive his electric light as cheap as the Bon Marche, Frederick & Nelson and other large consumers of electricity. The electric companies do not stand in the light of private dealers with a power to fix a charge We are sorry to note that the Committee of the City Council has turned down the proposed ordinance fixing a uniform rate for light. The reason assigned by the Committee of the Council in no way affects the merits of the provisions of the proposed ordinance. In fact, we understand that a number of the members of the Council approved of a provision of some kind that fixes uniform rates that are fair and reasonable, but the reason assigned by the Committee of the City Council is that the Council has no power granted to it by the State Legislature to fix such charges, and the opinion of the Corporation Counsel in the telephone case is relied upon as an authority. If it be true that the City has no power to fix a uniform charge upon companies that receive their franchises from the City Council to act within the limits of the City of Seattle, the condition is a sad commentary upon the representatives from this City to the State Legislature. We think that some one of the measures should be passed by the City Council immediately and the validity of the ordinance can be easily tested in the Supreme Court before the meeting of the next Legislature, and in the event that the Supreme Court of our State should hold that no such power exists in the cities of the first class to fix a uniform rate, this matter can be remedied by the next Legislature, but that is too far away at the present time to permit the electric light companies to extort money from the people for such a length of time. Immediate action is required. GOV. ALBERT E. MEAD. FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1905. SAM H. PILES. FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1905. Current Comment. A PICTURE FROM LIFE'S UNDER SIDE. Miss Ada Fairfield, of New York, is doing much to broaden, and thereby brighten the lives of the slum women in that city. "It is pitiful to see the constant struggle in the tenement house regions to have a bit of green and blossom in the house," says Miss Fairfield, and she and her co-workers are striving to grow plants on every vacant spot of land which they can use in the thickly congested quarters. The fire escapes on the settlement buildings furnish opportunities which they have grasped, and beautiful flowers hold up their fragrant heads near the settlement windows and carry to the despondent tenant a sweet message, which in some way draws him nearer God. "The Slavonian women; do they care for flowers?" is asked. "Yes; they love flowers. Why, I have seen a Slavonian woman take her hard earned pennies and pay them out freely to get a small plant for her window." "Do the Italian women care for flowers, too?" "My, yes. The most persistent and successful window gardeners in the tenement districts are the Italian women." "Tell me of the German women," continued the questioner. "Well, the most of them come from the country and they love growing things. We all know how they will get out in the garden to eat and drink whenever they can." "Are the Jewish women flower lovers, too?" "No, not as a rule. They take to them less than any other women." "What of the Negro women?" "You mean the American Negro women?" "Yes." "Oh!" And then she who has so at heart the elevation of woman kind; she who gives hours of her valuable time to helping them purify not only their homes but their thoughts as well, turns the subject to other channels. Just one of the pictures from life's under side. NIAGARA FALLS VERSUS LUCRE. In his greed for gold the aggressor has placed his eagle eye upon Niagara falls, and the tremendous noise of its roar disturbs him. He cannot realize in it the sublimely beautiful. There is nothing about the falls which appeals to the depths of his inmost soul, simply because, as those waters fall they might be turning more machinery and coining gold. Blinded eyes, dwarfed souls, but the possessers of bright, shining gold! The picture is far from inspiring to thousands. One writer, who doubtless felt the imaginary coin already clasped in his niggardly palms, tells of how food for thousands is being daily annihilated as those falls tumble down their coveted precipice. He pictures how Carnigie librarys might be filled with books if they were held under the falls. To let those beautiful white rapids run wild is just the same as to wind over the percipice untold yards of calico, says the same writer. "These waters, as they rush onward to the lakes represent articles that can be bought from large department stores, and what a sea of life's necessities they might furnish," sighs he." There are other countries that would gladly purchase Niagara falls if such a thing were possible and how they would preserve its natural beauty would doubtless be a revelation to some Americans, who see in the falls THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN only distended pocketbooks. Nature was kind to the United States in giving such a dowry, and the state of New York was fortunate in the heritage. Suppose in time man succeeds in making a wage earner out of the falls and grinds out gold which will circulate among millions. When the natural beauty of the falls is destroyed could all the gold gained therefrom duplicate our grand Niagara? OUGHT MINISTERS COMPLAIN LESS? In this work-a-day world the raging passion to obtain, possess and expend money has become such a mania that it threatens to damage even the church. "You have to starve so many years before you can become a success in the ministry," says one. That is not the greatest principle involved. There is a certain degree of sacrifice demanded of many, especially the young ministers, but there is also a high standard of etiquette, moral conduct and a classification of some essentials in life which outrank the almighty dollar to be taken into consideration. The young man inclined toward the ministry looks into a future life and sees but dimly what might be called financial success. Work, and much of it, is what the records of other young ministers have placed before him and he shrinks from the divinity which shapes our ends. There is "work and much of it" in other professions and the man who neglects the ministry for fear of work will make a success no where else, for the slothful, who will shirk responsibilities in any kind of work are not the men whom the world delights to honor. The idea of a "dear sister" in some country place bringing a chicken or a peck of potatoes "to go on the preacher's salary" is not an indicator of large bank accounts, but to the man who has been "called" and feels that his brother's care is his own there is always an opportunity of outgrowing a poor charge, while some of the sweetest lessons of life, endeared to him by the very bitterness of their adversity, will be the legacy which he carries with him as he climbs the hilly way, every step of which helps to make just such a man of him as his mother prayed he would be when his tiny steps were so uncertain that she had to hold his confiding hand to keep him from falling. TWO THINGS AT ONCE. "Women do not seem to be able to do what their mothers did, and their grandmothers outdid them two to one," remarked a man who had never given the subject proper consideration. True, our mothers used to have time to knit and card and spin, besides tending to their usual household duties. But the demands of our times are greater than was ever known before, our modes of living faster and the claims upon women grow heavier. The same amount of care would have greatly distressed grandmother. Since we are rapidly progressive and, regardless of how a man idealizes, the way mother turned off her duties that same mother, under the conditions of today, not having been schooled up to it, would fall short of what the wife of today is accomplishing. The day has come when it does not take all one's attention to write a letter, to read a book, for even the average woman converses meanwhile. In our training schools our daughters are taught to swing dumbbells not only with one hand, but to swing them with both, either hand having a separate number of turns to the measure. And the time is well advanced when men can and do execute things at the same time using each hand in complete independence of the other. The principle is the same and is being introduced into life's work and there is no telling what developments shall have been made in these lines when the wives of today have become the grandmothers of tomorrow. POLITICAL POT-PIE. (Continued from page 1.) for not obeying convention instructions, and if any of them come up for renomination, he will only get such renomination by overcoming the fiercest opposition he ever before encountered. These, to the casual political observer, constitute symptoms Number Five that Seattle and King county will be the political storm center for the next four years. * * * It should be observed that the Northern Pacific has removed James F. McElroy, its local Democratic counselor, and filled his boots with an able attorney from one of the strong Republican law firms of the city, a member of which firm is now a candidate for reelection to the state Senate; and that the Great Northern is to make Harry Fairchild, a Bellingham attorney of unsavory political reputation, but eminently successful in "doing things" politically, its trial lawyer, whose political headquarters will be in Seattle. Here are evidences sufficient that the railroads propose to take an active part in the political affairs of this county, and herein are to be found simptoms Number Six that Seattle will be the political storm center for the next four years. * * * Governor Albert E. Mead, who has recently returned from an extended trip through Eastern Washington, spent Thursday and Friday in Seattle, and was the center of attraction during his stay, and especially among politicians and office seekers. He was accompanied by Major A. N. Brown, his private secretary, who for a number of years was connected with the editorial force of the Post-Intelligencer, and of course is well known. Gov. Mead is being watched by the politicians, owing to the fact that so many of them are candidates for positions at his hand. Senator Sam H. Piles, who has been enjoying his first taste of official life at the national capital, is expected home soon, when he will endeavor to unravel the political embroglio that threatens to give the politicians a great deal of trouble. Mr. Piles is making haste slowly in the way of appointments, and it is well that he is, for this patronage business has been the rock on which a great many senators have been politically wrecked. Deputy United States Marshal Crosby, it is said, will claim the $150 reward offered by United States Marshal Hopkins for the capture of A. E. Bell, the escaped McNeil convict. Since the Bell fiasco seems shrouded in such a mystery and the persistency with which Deputy Crosby maintained Bell had not left the island, there are some people in this world mean enough to think, the convict's escape was a money-making scheme.

If so, why are her newspapers demanding another? Russia seems to want peace, but is unwilling to pay for it, which is a very essential element to the agreement. It strikes us that somebody has given Venezuela the wrong kind of dope. Better change physicians, neighbor. Cassie Chadwick's promise to "tell all" is in keeping with her promise to pay all; she did not, nor she will not do it. A milch cow has been actually found in Centralia, this state. That such a thing was an unexpected curiosity goes without saying. Is it not almost time for Uncle Sam to cease digging in the national treasure box and begin digging in the Panama sand if he wants a Panama canal? Commissioner Garfield is satisfied the Beef Trust is "poor and hard up," for the trust itself told him so. What more convincing proof could be offered. It is no longer a question of, Has Miss Resena Grover the heart disease? but, rather, Has Mayor Zook knowingly trifled with the affections of an unsuspecting woman? A mint in the sea—meaning the sea contains vast quantities of gold, may or may not be true, but it is absolutely correct, when a mint julep drunk happens to fall overboard. President Roosevelt is accused of having danced a jig on St. Patrick's day. He was doubtless giving his guests a sample of what the corporate kings would do before he went out of office. Japan has laid claim to a new volcanic island that recently rose in the ocean near her shores. There is no doubt of the fact that Japan is strictly in the land-grabbing business these days. Norway and Sweden are having division troubles just now, which have been brought about by Sweden multiplying and adding to THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN her agreed authority and completely overlooking her subtraction part of the program. The Chicago bureau of identification has adopted the thumb print method of identifying criminals as an adjunct to the Bertillion measurement. Puddinhead Wilson did not work those many years in vain, after all. If Cipriano Castro could spare the time to read the history of the late war between Great Britain and the Transvaal and the subsequent fate of Paul Kruger—Oom Paul—he perhaps would be less anxious to scrap with Uncle Sam. A crusade against "the alarming growth of secular Sunday" has been begun in England. If it requires as much scratching in England as it does in the United States to make a living it strikes us the secular Sunday is absolutely necessary to keep the wolf from the door. Wittman, chief of police of San Francisco, has been dismissed from office for incompetency and neglect of duty, because of his failure to suppress gambling in Chinatown. When tried he said that he had to rely on his subordinates and his trusted servants implicitly. Several members of the force were dismissed and several fined. There is nothing like looking into police affairs occasionally and helping those who are supposed to keep others right stay right themselves. While last year was a decidedly quiet one in the way of railway construction, the total for the United States being but 4,251.69 miles, the expectations of an increased activity in this direction are being realized upon as the present season advances. According to a summary presented by the Railway Age, there are now under contract or construction 7,500 miles of new trackage, with live projects embracing an additional 9,332 miles. This authority reports 933 miles of road under contract or construction for the Pacific Coast, with 2,000 miles projected. There are patent indications no what the North Pacific states will be the scene of some highly important developments in the railway situation in the near future, and that this and succeeding years will witness much new construction. It has been reported that there are women in New York who buy for their pet dogs boots of different colored leather to match their coats, house boots and street boots, that lace up nearly to the knee, which cost from $5 to $8. One woman imported from Paris for her poodle dog a complete outfit, which cost $2,000. Persons more broadly human read of these reports and regret that there seems no way to interest such women in their fellow men to the extent of adopting a child instead of a dog. There are so many little deserving darlings who have nothing but second-hand shoes to wear, yet whose bright, happy souls shine out through their eyes when they smile. Such smiles should appeal to the human heart sooner than the wagging of the little nub of a tail attached to a beast which, dress as you will or may, is still a dog. FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1905 Tales of the Town. Ernest Thompson Seton, the great naturalist, has been in Seattle and those who have read his books, and those who are interested in his work, also those who go to everything without any particular object in view, but just to go, have all heard him lecture. He was "just fine," said a young lad on the street car. "How much did it cost you to hear him?" asked his companion. "Only 25 cents," replied the first speaker. "I was too far back to hear what he said, but they say he is just fine." Mr. Seton lectured for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. The Scandinavian-American bank has moved into its new quarters in the Alaska building, corner of Second avenue and Cherry street. Their new banking rooms were thrown open for inspection last Saturday, and a great many availed themselves of the opportunity of seeing the great vaults and other interior paraphernalia of the institution. The fittings of the bank are said to be among the handsomest in the Pacific Northwest. The management of the Scandinavian-American bank is competent, progressive, and obliging, and all who are acquainted with the workings of the institution predict for it the greatest success during its existence. E. C. Cheasty, who has recently returned from a trip abroad, says: "Parisian women do not chew gum, the men do not whistle or use profane language, and no true Parisian ever gets drunk." We need never hope to reach the same degree of perfection. American women can do without their gum, if it comes to a show down. All true Americans can refrain from getting drunk. But some of the Seattle politicians, whose heads are quite swollen, would just as soon think of ending their lives as refraining from using profane language. One partner sells his interest to the other at a rather stiff price and the dissolution notice is at once made public. The next day an immense white canvas sign is stretched over the front of the store, which reads, "Business Change Sale," and other wording to the effect that the goods are being sold so cheap that one will miss the bargain of their lives unless he takes advantage of the offer. The question is, when were the customers robbed, before or after the change? Among Seattle's leading business men who have recently returned from the East, having gone thither to lay in a spring supply for their firm, is R. Nordhoff, the financier of the great Bon Marche establishment. It is not exaggeration in the least when we say the Bon Marche is the largest department store in the West. It sells more goods than any other similar store on the Pacific Coast, and the Mr. Nordhoff herein mentioned has been with it from its very foundation. Yea, it was his brother (deceased) and wife (Mrs. McDermott) and himself that laid the foundation for this mammoth establishment that is now the wonder of the West.

Afro-Americanism Charles W. Anderson has been confirmed by the Senate as collector of internal revenue for the port of New York. The position pays a salary of $4,500.00 per year and has some two hundred sub-appointments. This is the first instance in the history of the country that a Negro has been appointed to so important a position north of the Mason and Dixon line. In North Carolina a white woman has written to the Governor of that state confessing that she had perjured herself in testifying in the courts to the effect that a Negro had attempted to assault her, and she had done so because she was paid to so testify by another party, presumably an enemy of the Negro, and she received the sum of $10 for the testimony she gave. The Negro is in jail awaiting execution for the alleged crime. Wonder what Tillman and Vardeman think of that for white supremacy? General Omaya may not be the Napoleon of the twentieth century, as he was recently pictured, but there is no denying the fact he is the military wonder of the present age. The one who thinks the color of a man's skin is against him so far as ability is concerned has not followed the fortunes of war in the Japanese-Russian embroglio. Mrs. Meredith, a Portland woman, has opened a restaurant in Mabton, Wash., a thriving little town in the new county of Benton. The new county has quite a sprinkling of colored citizens therein, and, be it said to their evelasting credit, they are all the proud possessors of at least a quarter section of the very best land a crow ever flew over. Let more Negroes take up the quarter section homestead slogan. The legislature of the State of Texas is undertaking an impossibility, and even if it should succeed in its undertaking, it will but cut off its nase to spite its face. A bill is now pending before that legislature making it a crime for any corporation in the state to give employment to Negroes. The object of the bill is to drive the Negroes from the cities to the farms for employment. A state peonage almost exists in Texas so far as the Negro is concerned now, and if this measure should become a law, it would really exist, and the Negroes by thousands and hundreds of thousands would leave the state. William A. Harper has won fame in Chicago as an artist and nine of his landscape paintings have been ordered hung on the walls of the institute of the Municipal Art League of Chicago. Harper has been advised to go to Europe, where it is believed he will gain distinction at once. Strange, is it not, that American Negroes of talent must go to Europe before their talent is recognized or considered? What manner of man, after all, is America made up of? Richard T. Greener, the well known New York attorney, who has represented this government at Vladivostock for the past four years, has been retired by President Roosevelt, and a Mr. Haines of South Carolina will succeed him. The cause of Prof. Greener's THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN rather unexpected retirement has not been made known as yet. He will return to New York and again take up the practice of law. A proposition, which was submitted some five months ago, having for its object the uniting of the Presbyterian church and the Cumberland Presbyterian church, was recently overwhelmingly voted down by the Presbyterian faction, who wanted to go on record as being bitterly opposed to the drawing of the color line in the House of God. The hope of uniting the two branches of Presbyterianism, therefore, is dead beyond resurrection for the next decade or more, as it is not probable that the Cumberland Presbyterians will ever recede from their separate church ideas for white and colored worshipers. If one's cue is to be taken from the papers published in most of the Eastern states by Negroes, the editors thereof spend the most of their time, and likewise their money, abusing each other or abusing some man of the race that has fought his way up, despite opposition, within as well as without, the alleged progress of the race is very doubtful. A number of the papers published by Negroes are bitterly opposing the work of Prof. Booker T. Washington, and yet offer no good and sufficient reason for doing so, only, he is succeeding and they are not. The tirades from time to time against Booker T. Washington on the part of Negro papers are simply silly, as well as disgraceful. If you do not like his way of doing things, let both him and his ways severely alone and do your way. The Dominican Republic, which has for the most part Negroes for its citizenship, is still having troubles of its own in the financial world. Some time ago she, of her own accord, had Uncle Sam appointed as her receiver, and since that time she has made a similar offer to some of the European powers, and now Uncle Sam is indignant and gives her officials to understand the Monroe Grah Special Sale Silk Friday and Saturday Two special lots picked up by our New York buyer newest and best styles shown and come in all checks; some made very fancy, others in plain t Friday and Saturday Woman's Shirt Waist Gown, made of fine taffeta silk, in navy, royal, black or brown; fancy waist, with lace collar and chimesette, box-pleated skirt, round length; value.....$35.00 Friday and Saturday.....$23.50 Woman's Shirt Waist Gown, made of fine taffeta silk, in blue and white, green and white, and black and white, checks, pleated waist, tailor stitched, with collar, tie and cuffs of plain silk, round length plaited skirt; value .....$30.00 Friday and Saturday.....$23.50 714 = 716 2nd Avenue doctrine will exercise control over the republic, whether the citizens thereof are or are not willing, and especially to the exclusion of a European power. Uncle Sam, it must be admitted, has not much use for "niggers," but the Dominician Republic happens to come within his protectorate, and he has a perfect right to throw himself in the breach and prevent some grasping European power from stepping in and gaining a permanent foothold in America, which might at some time disrupt the peace of the entire continent. One Coleman of Seattle, a Negro, has felt called upon to begin suit against one of the local 10-cent theatres for damages, the theatre having refused to sell him a ticket of admission to its plays. In this section of the country there seems to be no earthly excuse for the managers of theatres and other places of amusement or accommodation objecting to persons of color enjoying all the privileges of the whites, as the practice is quite common. The one conducting such a business would find he would have less worry, argument, dispute and expenses if he would serve the black man the same as the white man, and thereby get rid of his black customer all the sooner. One theatre or restaurant keeper can not change the customs of the community, however much he or she may dislike them, and he only renders himself ridiculous in trying to do so by being dragged into court over such matters. The person who persists in doing so is either weak in the upper story or has wheels up there. In an article from the pen of an able scientist, in which he discussed, what prolongs life, and causes that tend to shorten life, much stress is placed upon hereditary tendencies.

The chief ag- ricultural product is cocoa, and’ in” 1903 200,000 hundred weight were exported. The culture: of tobaceo is decreasing, while the cultivation of coffee, of which 4,000,000 pounds: were exported in 1900, tends to give plate to the growing of cocoa. Sugar cane is cultivated largely in the southern portion of the country; the exportation of cane in 1900 amounted to 49,000 tons.

He was a grad- uate of Harvard in 1858 and left no children. Harvard University will come into possession of this property on the decease of Mr. Mil- ton’s widow. But the will of the late famous New York lawyer, James C. Carter, gives with no great delay $200,000 to Harvard. There rae no binding requirements, but Mr. Carter expresses the hope that it may seem well to devote half of this amount to the es- tablishment and maintenance of a scholar- ship in the law school, of a professorship for the especial cultivation and teaching of the distinction between the provinee of the writ- ten and unwritten law. * * # By a decision in the ease of a suit contest- ing the will of Mrs. Josephine L.

Granted, the Negro is no less criminal than the Caucasian, under the circumstances he cannot afford to be. There may be no plausible remedy for it, but there is no doubt of the fact that the few Afro-Americans in this city hold themselves too much aloof from each other for their own good. No two think or act so as to create a common cause. Talk to one and the faults of the other is the chief topic of conversation, and from his words he is out to do his fellow black men all the personal injury in his power. Is there an excuse for such? Why not pull up instead of pull down? All persons have methods and ways of doing things peculiar to themselves, and however much you may dislike them, you will hardly be able to change them. Has the Negro gone money mad and stands ready to do everything mean and contemptible in order to get money? God forbid. Within the past year no less than fifty colored families have taken up homesteads in Eastern Washington, all of whom are now living thereon and from the number of inquiries one hears among these people about the lands in Eastern Washington it is fair to presume that twice and three times that many more will get homes over there within the present year. It's an encouraging sign to see colored men give up their barber chairs, their porter jobs, their bootblack stands an done even his profession to get a home in the country where they can be independent men and women and not dependent on some one for a two-bit job. The odds are against the Negro in the cities and towns, but are in his favor in the country, and he should take advantage of his opportunity. It is currently reported that the members of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church of this city are expecting a new pastor from some point in the South. It seems almost cruel to have a preacher quit a charge to come to Seattle to pastor the church, when neither the membership nor the congregation is sufficiently large to raise money enough to more than a quarter support a pastor. There are enough Baptist preachers in the state to do the work. Had the officers of the church called Rev. J. P. Brown, of Roslyn, to the work when they called Rev. Walker, there is no doubt of the fact that the church would have been in much better condition. Rev. Brown is, we think, the best educated Baptist preacher of his race on the Pacific Coast, and why not get him instead of one from the South?

"The Moonshiner's Daughter," which comes to the Third Avenue Theatre ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN next week, commencing with a Sunday matinee, is described as a very human play, and one that has a high moral tone throughout. It is full of domestic interest. The plot is cleverly conceived and skillfully worked out to its denouement. The comedy is refined, never obtrusive and always in harmony with the development of the play. A very elaborate scenic environment has been provided. It is a play that cannot fail to interest both the theatre-goer and the non-theatre-goer. The play is built on entirely new and novel lines, and depicts in a most fascinating manner the loves and hates of the moonshiner. The lives of these people who always live in fear of the revenue officers and always ready for battle is most graphically portrayed.
