Seattle Republican

historical society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 45 POLITICAL POT=PIE Shortly after the recent senatorial contest had come to an abrupt close, J. Will Lysons tells an amusing story at the expense of two well known politicians, both of whom were conspicuous characters in that rather remarkable legislative battle. "I was walking up Second avenue," said Mr. Lysons, "one Saturday and met Senator John L. Wilson. After passing the pleasantries of the day, we began to discuss things in general. We had not been talking very long when State Senator C. F. Clapp came along. I spoke, as did Senator Wilson, which was returned by Senator Clapp. It was then a party of three and knowing there was no good blood existing between Wilson and Clapp, the situation for me became very embarrassing and I began to get them in a moving position. Senator Wilson would not have it so and stood there looking up and down Senator Clapp as if he was looking for an article at a bargain counter. 'Well,' said Clapp, after a long silence, 'now that you have looked me over, what do you think of me?' 'There are some things in this world too insignificant to even think of,' snarled Senator Wilson. That it was high time for the statesmen to get in motion, and that, too, in opposite directions, was plain to be seen, and to that end I got busy on short notice." * * * "Do not get the idea too firmly fixed in your head, even if Congressman Humphrey should be put to sleep by the next biennial convention, that Frank Brownell will have that nomination all his way," said a Snohomish county man one day this week. "So far as Snohomish county is concerned, if Brownell is a candidate, he will be given a unanimous delegation, but there are other counties in the northwest, and for Brownell or any other candidate from that section to succeed, he must at least have the "northwest combine' a unit in his interest. There seems to be no doubt but that the Hon. C. I. Roth of Whatcom is a candidate for the congressional nomination, and if he succeeds in getting his own county to go to the front for him, he will have a powerful leverage in his hands. With the Whatcom delegation for trading purposes, he would not have much trouble in getting every vote in the northwest, except Snohomish, and it would be foolish for her to lay away. Now, if King should defeat Humphrey for Brownell, she would be forced to go to Roth in order to protect herself. While at Olympia Mr. Roth positively announced his intention to become a candidate for one of the three congressional nominations in 1906, and I know he has not changed his mind since that time." * * * To the average King county man, who pays any attention at all to politics, it is amusing to hear C. J. Smith, E. C. Hughes and A. B. Stewart, pronounced party leaders, closeted with the governor to discuss the party situa- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1905 [Name not provided] J. WILL LYSONS, Who has formed a law partnership with his brother, Fred H. Lysons. tion and incidentally to indorse George W. Dickinson as one of the railroad commissioners. If either of those men are party leaders, no one but themselves know anything about it. The Pie-Maker is prepared to substantiate the allegation that C. J. Smith could not go to the precinct in which he resides and be elected a delegate to a county or municipal convention any more than he could rise and fly to the top of Mount Rainier. Mr. Smith has been a party bolter for years and made no denial of the fact. He has no more right to call himself a Republican than to call himself a Socialist. The same condition is applicable to E. C. Hughes. If he should announce himself a candidate for one of the justices of the peace in this city he would be snowed under so deep that he would not know he had been running. Mr. Stewart holds a little stronger hold on his neighbors, for he always manages to get to the various city and county conventions. There is no doubt but that he is quite a leader among the "400," but among the working people Mr. Stewart, like the other two men, have not a friend. Under such circumstances, if the governor of this state gives any credence to their chirpings he is simply courting opposition in King county which will cost him many loyal supporters. * * * Who the devil is Kincade? is the question that has been repeatedly asked about town during the past week. Is he known to even one in every one thousand Republican voters in King county? If not, then what was the object of appointing him to an imoprtant political office at the expense of hard working Republicans like Paul, Muchmore, and many others who have asked for positions under the present state administration? LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRICE FIVE CENTS If the governor should decide to appoint George W. Dickinson one of the railroad commissioners, the Pie-Maker is of the opinion that he will make no serious mistake. Mr. Dickinson evidently knows as much about the railroad business as any other man in the state, and there is no doubt but that he is eminently fair, just and honorable in his dealings. *** The appointment of J. E. Frost as the third tax commissioner, Joe Easterday of Tacoma and Tom Rockwell of Spokane having been previously appointed, closes that chapter of the fight. *** The railroad commissioners and the state printer, the most important places of them all, are left for the last. The state printing embroglio is headed for one of the biggest scandals this state has ever had, is the prediction of the Pie-Maker. *** The Negro vote in Chicago created consternation in Republican circles last Tuesday, by not standing up and being counted for the Republican candidate for mayor, when the Democratic candidate for the same position had proven himself to be a hundred times better friend to them while on the bench than had the Republican candidate under similar circumstances. Had the Negro vote stood pat for Harlan he would have defeated Dunne by a good round plurality. The Republican party in Chicago, and, in fact, all over the country, seem to think it has a mortgage on the Negro vote and can foreclose the same nolens volens, so far as the Negro is concerned, but the worm sometimes turns, as in Chicago last Tuesday, and the mortgagee realizes when it is too late he was "mistaken in his last year's bacon." * * * Generally speaking, the Negro voters of this country are always loyal to the Republican party, even when consistency to their ownselves would demand they support and vote for the candidate of another party. No better example of this can be cited than in the 1904 campaign in the State of Washington, when the 4,000 Negro voters went to the rack and voted for Albert E. Mead almost to a man in opposition to Senator George Turner, who had been their true and loyal friend not only ever since he had been in this state, but even in the Southern states when it meant something for a white man to champion the rights of a Negro. They knew nothing of Mead. He was a total stranger to them and they knew nothing of his feeling for or against the race, but for the sake of the Republican party they voted for him without question. He was selected governor by a small plurality, so small that had the Negro voters in a body supported their friend George Turner, Mead would have been defeated. Does he appreciate it? you ask. Well, if he does, he keeps it to himself. One or two Negroes have asked the administration for a bit of political recognition, but they all get, "There is nothing I can give you." One Negro wanted to be guard at the state peni- tentiary, and he was informed that he could not have the position because the white prisoners would object to having a Negro guard over them. Had Turner been elected, the Negro would have been taken care of the same as the other fellow. Turner politicians have been all the kind of politicians in this state that have given these people any political recognition at all. In the entire State of Washington there is but one Negro holding a political job, and he is Will Turner in Tacoma, a position he has held for efficiency for the past twelve years, and that, too, under the Democrats as well as the Republicans, and this is so despite the fact this state gave Roosevelt 70,000 plurality and the state ticket on an average of 40,000 plurality. * * * The Crocker political wheel has been given a new spoke in the appointment of George Baker, of Goldendale, United States marshal of the new federal court of this state. Charges were filed against Mr. Baker, but they were not sustained, and both the senators having asked for his appointment, the President was perfectly justified in sending his name to the Senate for confirmation. Baker has been an active politician in Republican circles for years, and such men are deserving of the political emoluments of their party. Baker was largely responsible for the election of Levi Ankeny to the Senate, and had a hand in the pie when Piles was elected, and it was perfectly natural for both of them to have been enthusiastic over any appointment he might ask for. * * * The failure of Joseph B. Lindsley to be named district attorney has not caused many regrets on this side of the Cascades, and the Pie-Maker is of the opinion not a great deal even in Spokane, the young statesman's home. While charges were filed against him of a serious nature, they were not sustained, but the President wanted an experienced man for the place which Lindsley did not possess. Lindsley came to Spokane a few years ago, broke, and worked as truckman at the depot, a most commendable thing in any ambitious young man—stoop to conquer. He succeeded right well and was soon getting to the front. His fellow workmen took an active interest in his political success because he was one of them, from their way of thinking. When Joe thought he was out of gunshot, however, that disease which so often attacks men who have risen from the lower walks of life, known as the "big head," overtook him, and the men with whom he had formerly worked as an associate and who had taken a pride in pushing him to the front, could not get within a thousand miles of him. Joe has met his first rebuff, and judging from what was said of him at Olympia and since the last session of the legislature adjourned, there is still another rebuff in store for him if he ever comes up for another elective office. *** Instead of Lindsley, the President appointed A. George Avery district attorney. Avery is also a Spokane lawyer, and he was recommended by Senator Piles for his experience as a successful practitioner and by Senator Ankeny for his good citizenship. *** Governor Mead has appointed Charles W. Gorham, editor and proprietor of the Sna- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN homish Tribune, state printer, thereby settling the fiercest struggle that has been waged for an appointment since he took charge of the office. Charley Gorham was once a member of the legislature, has been active in political circles in Snohomish county, and is a most commendable citizen, and, if the printing office can be run without a scandal, he will do so. There is a well founded rumor that it is the Governor's intention to not have the state printer buy a plant, but let the work out by contract and make a reputation for himself in the office. The plan of The Republican, when the bill was before the legislature to have the state change the printing laws, was to buy its own plant and then hire a superintendent. The plan the Governor expects to work by is practically the very same, less the ownership on the part of the state of a plant. If the state owned its plant it could save $5,000 a year on stock alone. Tales of the Town. The prospective merger of all the lighting companies of this city, except the Seattle Electric Company, and with a rate understanding of that company with the merger, is no more than the average citizen could foresee some months ago, when the bond proposition for extending the capacity of the municipal lighting plant was being voted upon. The Seattle Republican, it will be remembered, advocated the voting of those bonds for the sole reason that the lighting companies, if the bonds were defeated, would combine at once and the citizens would again be at their mercy. The bonds were not defeated as the various lighting companies had hoped, but they have merged anyway, and with those having charge of the municipal lighting plant, to an apparent extent, favoring the lighting companies, by delaying the completion of the municipal lighting plant, that it can not go into open competition with the companies, the light consumers will for another twelve months or more be at their mercy, and even then, the writer is not too sure the light consumers will be given any relief. In the face of such actions no wonder the citizens of large cities do as they did in Chicago last Tuesday, give the municipal ownership idea a big boost by electing a Democrat who is honestly in favor of the innovation, in a Republican town by a great big plurality. The people of the cities and towns of this country are being so unmercifully robbed by big corporations that municipal ownership of all public utilities is their only hope for relief. The completion of the Alaska and Colman buildings have taken so many of the tenants from the other rather old-fashioned blocks of the city, who gave poor service and yet charged high prices for their rooms, are causing the owners to open their eyes to the necessity of repairing their shacks, and a general improvement has been ordered in office buildings. The Pioneer, which has dragged along ever since it was built with one wretched old, rickety elevator, is now hurrying double elevators in. The inside of the building, which looked more like a barn than an office building, is being overhauled, with the 1 FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1905 view of making it look a bit decent. The Burke building is undergoing many repairs, and it, too, will soon boast of double elevator service. The Bailey building has been the heaviest looser by the completion of the Colman and the Alaska, and while it has had double elevator service in all the time, yet it has not been kept as a genuine, up-to-date office building, and still the rent for the rooms therein has been unreasonably high. Office room today is at least 20 per cent higher in the Bailey than in the Alaska and with less accommodations. Surely the demand for office rooms in Seattle must be very great, for rents are still higher for this commodity in this city than are rents for like rooms in Chicago and even in New York, so it is currently reported. When a professional man has to pay forty and fifty dollars for a suite of rooms he is not in a position to do an honest business. He must swindle somebody somewhere down the line in order to keep going, and the sooner this evil can be remedied the better for the community. The franchise which James A. Moore has asked the City Council for is still being held up to force Mr. Moore to permit the city to tunnel under his hotel, in order to open up Third avenue. If the franchise is a good one he should be granted it without regard to his hotel property. No man in the city has brought a tenth as much capital here for investment as James A. Moore, and inasmuch as valuable franchises have been given to men who have brought nothing to the city, this one should be given to him. However, The Republican is of the opinion it is almost time for the city to begin to take steps toward owning its various street car lines, those in operation as well as the prospective ones. It is hinted that the Moore franchise is nothing more nor less than the Seattle Electric Company in disguise and if granted it will be turned over to that company at the proper time. If this be true the franchise should be held up forever. The Seattle Electric Company is taking enough money from each grown up person in this city one year with another to half maintain the annual expenses of a family of two. The theater trust of the Northwest completely smothered all opposition to it when John Cort became the owner of the Seattle Theater of this city one day this week. The company that wants to play in this section of the world must dance to the music of the trust and the people who desire to attend theaters must pay for both the fiddling and dancing of the entire combine. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that the theater trust takes more unearned money out of Seattle one year with another than do every factory in the limits of this city pay each and everyone of its employes annually. The theater-goers are compelled to pay twice as much for the same class of plays in Seattle as they do in other cities, even so close as Portland, Oregon, but this is the age of trusts and the people seem inclined to want them, or at least tolerate them, and so be it. FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1905. A representative of a circus was before the City Council last Monday evening, with a view of getting a license for its circus to do business in Seattle for two days next August, and was disgusted at being expected to pay more than $500 per day for license, and declared that such a sum was more than any other city of like size charged his company. If the City Council gives these blood suckers a license for a cent less than $1,000 per day it will be simply putting a premium on robbing the community. The shows take all the way from $50,000 to $100,000 out of the city the two days they keep open house and they do not leave over $10,000 in the city with the business men. These sleek-tongued agents start at this work early in order to avoid opposition, in other words, start at it early enough to catch public sentiment off its guard. The most absorbing question of the day, the Easter bonnet. Mother has been down and priced all kinds. Daughter has spotted several of the "sweetest creations." Little sister just must have one, because all of the school children are talking about theirs. Father? Well, father refuses to even stop beofre a window where bonnets are displayed and openly declares the most sensible woman he ever knew said that Easter Sunday was no more than any other Sunday and no extra display of clothing and hats was necessary. It has recently transpired that several criminals have received life sentences under the habitual criminal act, and the same has called forth much discussion of that particular law. Many think it one of the best ways of permanently getting rid of bad and skilled criminals, whose efficiency in their chosen ways make them leaders and thereby strengthening and perpetuating crime. Such leaders, on account of the habitual criminal act, sooner or later bring about their own conviction. Those who oppose the act claim as the strongest point against it that a man's past ought not to be the means of depriving him of all hope for the future, if the act for which he was last arrested does not of itself justify the same. This humane view of it would, many think, give even the old criminal a chance for a better life in which there is hope, liberty and happiness. The slaughter house as an eyesore is still exercising the minds of the people and it does seem that there is being wasted upon it a vast amount of talk, worry and type. Almost all of us have smelt the bad odors arising from the slaughter house on Grant street bridge and,at the rate the city is growing, recognize in it an unsavory nuisance. The thing for those who have the power to move the slaughter house, or curtail its privileges until it seeks other quatrers of its own accord, is to move it. A nuisance is a nuisance and it is hard to know it by any other name, regardless of the fact that it is desirable to encourage progressive industries. In a busy city like Seattle, filled with the buzz and hum of new buildings being constructed, old ones being remoddled, condemned ones beig torn down, and man's mind running toward speculation, it is much to be commended that the Charity Organiza- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN tion has not been idle. During the month of March 97 cases were handled by the organization. The nationality of the new cases was as follows: Americans, 29; English, 7; Canadians, 9; Irish, 4; Scottish, 2; Colored, 1; Swede, 1; German, 1; Finnish, 1. Eleven of the cases were dependent through desertion or failure to support of the husband and father. Relief was given in 43 cases and 8 persons were given transportation to their homes or employment. A mid-Lenten service is to be held in the Grand Opera House Sunday morning, April 9, in the interest of the Wayside Hospital. Mrs. Marion B. Baxter, president of the institution, has the program in charge and those who have attended similar entertainments over which Mrs. Baxter has presided are beginning to expect a very successful program when it is understood she has charge of the meeting. Mrs. Baxter's efforts in behalf of the Wayside Mission are being felt, and it goes without saying she ought to receive helping hands all along the line. John Cort, manager of the Grand Opera House, will, after September 1 next, take control of the Seattle Theater. The interior of this theater is very pretty and the acoustics splendid. Under Mr. Cort's management its success as an up-to-date playhouse is assured and Seattle theater-goers may feel confident, on the opening of next year's season, of having the best theatrical year Seattle has ever known. WHEN I AM KING The bill-board nuisance shall be abolished, when I am King. The Seattle Electric Company shall give reasonable cheap home lighting, when I am King. The Post-Intelligencer shall never speak of The Times as the "evening publication," nor shall The Times speak of the Post-Intelligencer as the "morning journal," but both shall be made to honestly call true names, avoiding nasty jealousies, when I am iKng. Preachers who draw a fair fat salary shall be held to perform their work, not live as social mendicants off of lodges or other societies, when I am King. The public school shall teach education, shall avoid frivolity, shall let athletics and dramatics alone, and only inculcate the thought of learning and to that thought give the highest inspiration, when I am King. * * * When a social question of any kind, "bridge whist" or the like, is raised by any set of cranks, I shall order some other people than preachers to be asked if it tends to evil or no; shall allow printed some other mugs indeed, shall consult those those who should know—when I am King. Reverently speaking, all fear shall be banished; every boy and girl shall be taught to no more fear the God who gave life than he who apparently taketh life in what is commonly called death. Both appears to be done without consultation. This thought, much amplified, shall be taught when I am King. THE UNCROWNED. Acme Publishing Co. 214 COLUMBIA ST.

"Sic semper tyranis." The municipal ownership idea of all public utilities in organized cities is rapidly becoming a fixture in the minds of the rank and file of the citizens of this country, because, after careful observation, they have discovered that it is right, just and proper. If union miners out of spite caused the awful explosion at the Leiter mines in Illinois, which resulted in a half hundred miners losing their lives, then the guilty parties should be run down and hung as soon as the machinery of the law will permit it. The Panama Commission showed no visible signs of digging the canal and our own and only Teddy uped with his No.10, and out went the entire lump lot of them. New commissioners have been appointed with instructions to dig the canal and get busy at it post haste. Quite a few business men seem to be taking a post graduate course these days in "bankruptey proceedings." The course may make them more astute business men for the future, but somebody is paying and paying very dearly for these finishing touches of business careers. "Get together," says Col.

If, however, he shoots all of the odd looking things he sees in Texas, he will be charged with murder before he returns. In the charges made by the California newspapers against the "Japanese peril," it is claimed that the Japanese work for starvation prices. Not so in Seattle. Here they want big wages, even when they do not understand whether you are saying you will employ them or not. Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, who is said to be aging raipdly, bitterly compalins that all his friends have deserted him. He is old, poor and in trouble. That settles it. He ought to know better than to expect friends of today to say more to him than a hasty "good morning,""good afternoon" or "good evening, Senator." NORTHWEST NOTES The governor of Montana has issued a proclamation, directed against the principal sheep states of the Union, where it is understood scab and other contagious and infectious diseases exist. The State of Washington is included in the list. During the month of March 56 persons were admitted at the King county hospital, 38 were discharged and 15 died.

Just as soon as Gov. Mead names the state printer that point will be settled beyond the question of a doubt and several anxious applicants can return to their former occupations or seek new ones, content that the state will impose no duties upon them for four more years at least. ODD NAMES FOR NEWSPAPERS The names of American newspapers are a study in nomenclature. In Arkansas are the Buzz Saw and the Back Log; California, the Condor, the Rattler and Yesterday and Today; Iowa, the Postal Card, the Unit, the Necleus and the Firebrand; Kentucky, the Salt River Tiger, the Push, the Boomer; Missouri, the Missing Link and the Cyclone; Nevada, the Rustler. Oklahoma rejoices in the Dinner Bell and the Plain People. South Dakota has a Plain Talker. In West Virginia is the Irresponsible. Missouri has the Crank and the Entering Wedge. Wyoming reads Bill Balon's Budget. Negro Slavery Throughout South. The report of the district attorney of the Louisville district of Kentucky that peonage exists there is a remarkable and significant revelation as to the widespread existence of Negro slavery in the South and of the suffering and oppression borne by the poorer classes of colored people, the "common people" of our race there. Heretofore the North has heard of this form of involuntary servitude for Negroes in the far South, as in Alabama and Mississippi. Now its existence is unearthed in the extreme northern part of the South, in a border state! It is fair to assume then that colored people are still held in bondage in violation of the 13th Amendment throughout the whole South. This constitutes a fearful arraignment of the white South, of its disposition and its ability to run the government of their section in accord with justice and protection of citizenship rights. It is a significant commentary on the apathy of the Republican party toward its colored members and proves the recreancy to race of the colored educators who pose as race leaders, who never lose an opportunity before white Northern audiences to emphasize the white Southern opposition to lynching and who declare that colored people with bank accounts are accorded respect and their rights by the Southern whites, but who never before any audience, white or colored, Northern or Southern, utter one word as to the actual enslavement of the colored people who are poor by the white Southerners of the "best" class. It shows that these colored people in large numbers must themselves have the ballot if they are to be protected from salvery. SUIT COMPROMISED.

THE BOY AND THE GIRL THE POLLARDS AT THE GRAND. FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1905. Afro-Americanism It is rumored that Gov. Mead may parole F. W. D. Mays, of Pomeroy, and Rev. Scott, a colored man, from the penitentiary. Both men were sent up for criminally assaulting young girls. It is said that close confinement is becoming detrimental to the health of these old men, so the governor has been asked to parole them. Before the governor acts he should ascertain the condition of the health of the young girls that were ruined and of their future prospects in life. There are sufferings greater than being confined in the pen, to which no doubt the girls can testify, and under the circumstances the old men are not deserving of much if any sympathy. Mays, especially, deserves all the punishment he has received and then some, for a bigger hypocrite than he never existed. Senator Russell in attempting his release may manifest some sympathy, but he shows poor judgment. —Columbia Chronicle. [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. CONVICT MAC SCOTT. Paroled after serving two years of a fifteen-year sentence. He only ruined and caused the death of a little "colored girl." We know nothing of Mays' victim, but the little 14-year-old girl that Scott lead to her ruin died in child birth, and the hearts of the relatives and friends of that little innocent girl still bleed for the irreparable wrong that was done her by her pastor, which resulted in hear death, but she was only a "nigger," using the common vernacular of the average white man, and why should a leading railroad contractor be deprived of the service of a first class cook because he had taken the advantage of some little "coon gal"? This wretch, this despoiler of happy homes, Negroes though they were, while he posed as their spiritual advisor, Mack Scott, has been paroled by the governor and is now enjoying his freedom the same as the other fellow. Had his licentious acts been committed on little white girls instead of little colored girls, no power could have prevented him from being burned at the stake, but it was the latter, and he was given a 15-year sentence in the penitentiary, which of itself was lenient, but is paroled two years thereafter. Who asked for this man's parole? Did any Negro say one favorable word in his behalf? Are they not a unit for his continued incarceration? Despite their feelings in the matter, he is turned out of the penitentiary to continue his nefarious licentiousness, just so, it would appear, he confines his deviltry to colored girls. If the paroling of Mack Scott is not placing a premium on immorality among Negroes, then we are at a loss to know what other effect it will have. It's a burning shame. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Ed Jones, the colored waiter who created such a sensation in Portland last June by marrying a white woman who bore the honorable distinction of having been elected Queen of the Elks' Carnival, spent last Sunday night in this city, while en route to San Francisco, Cal., they having missed connection at this point. They were royally entertained by friends and admirers at the Climax Cafe, on North Sixth street, where they had taken quarters.

The publishers announce that Principal Washington's autobiography, "Up From Slavery," is to be published in Chinese this year.

It is strange but true, that nine out of ten colored people refuse to pay for a colored newspaper; still nothing commendable is ever said of one, save through the colored papers. The most of them claim that the colored papers don't have anything worth reading in them. We will answer that by saying newspaper editors speak in profusion to the encouragement given by their people from a financial standpoint. Good paper, better pay. No home should be without a race paper, feeble though it may be, and every man who receives a paper should pay for it or else tell the newspaper man to stop it; it only costs one cent, but to read and read and then won't pay anything is dishonest and you should let this cap fit you. Then let us all pay something.—New Era. There are 9,204,531 Negroes in the United States, including Porto Rico and Hawaii. Nine-tenths of them live in the South-onethird of its population. Seventy-seven per cent work on 749,000 farms, of which 21 per cent are absolutely, and 4 per cent partially owned by Negroes. There are 21,000 Negro carpenters, 20,000 bartenders, 16,000 ministers, 15,000 masons, 13,090 dressmakers, 10,000 engineers and firemen, 5,000 shoemakers, 4,090 musicians, 2,000 actors and showmen, 1,000 lawyers (which seem too many). Since 1890 Negro illiteracy has sunk from 57 to 44.5 per cent. Statistics are rather stupid fellows, but these look bright and full of hope. How can you keep such people down?

Prejudice on the part of one race against another often produces some rather peculiar coincidents that are not only laughable, but frequently both nauseating and disgusting. For an example, a well-known man in Seattle was overheard one day this week telling his experience with a number of Englishmen and Irishmen, whom he had used in the construction of a railroad. The two nationalities hated each other as does the devil "holy water," and the day seldom passed that one or two scraps did not occur between the two people over racial differences. "I was with the men as their foreman for quite awhile, and after I had been with them some months I always knew I was in for at least two lickings a week, one from the English because I was not an Englishman, and one from the Irish because I was not an Irishman. The job paid well and I was willing to stand both sides licking me, if I could only hang on to it, which I did. But I saw no use of the two races always fighting and bickering and I did not see why the one was not just as good as the other. There is some slight difference in the physiognomy of the two races, I admit, but, on the whole, they were made of the same flesh and blood and the one was no worse and no more to be despised than the other. Each hated the other, however, and they hated any and everybody that did not hate just as they did. Why did they? is the question, which can be answered in, "What fools we mortals be." In the United States there is a great deal of race prejudice against the Negro, almost as much against the Jew and about the same against the most of the other darker European races, who have come over to this country, on the part of what many of us have been taught to term the Anglo-Saxon, and, strange to say, each of the Anglo-Saxon despised races despise each other equally as bad or worse than do the Anglo-Saxon. The explanation for this, however, is that the despised races believe they are gaining the favor of the Anglo-Saxon in saying mean things about another despised race, when in their presence. For an instance, the Jew will sneeringly refer to "the dam Dago," the Dago will "bawl out the Sheeney," and the two will go into cohoots to abuse the "black nigger." Neither really has any excuse or justification for saying hard things against the other but he happens to be in Rome and thinks he must act like Romans. At the home of a Negro, who resides in what some people are pleased to term, "A swell part of the town," there is employed a girl, who boasts of being a pure blood Anglo-Saxon. The relations between the family and the "help" are most congenial, the disparity of color and complexion to the contrary notwithstanding, and she really seems to be in love with the children. The father sat quietly reading in a part of the room where he was not observed by either the children or the woman. While busying about her work she glanced out of the window and saw a number of Jews coming up the street and at once cried out: "Look children, there comes a lot of Sheenies. Run out on the porch and look at them." which the children did. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Jews supposing the children just casually ran out on the porch in their play and not expecting to see colored children in that part of the city, were completely taken off their feet and began to call to each other to look at the "little niggers." The show was so very entertaining to both the children and the Jews that each stood perfectly still and took it in from stem to gudgeon. The father sat unmoved and took in both shows and then listened to the comments of the children on their return to the room telling of the Sheenies they saw, and surmised the comments of the Jews after they had passed on. He sighed and said to himself, "what fools we mortals be." The foolish race prejudice that is so common to this country and fostered by the Anglo-Saxons is responsible for each of those races thinking the other a "perfect show." They are all made of one flesh and one blood, and, barring color, differ to no great extent from the Anglo-Saxon himself. We are all just what God Almighty made us. None of us responsible for our color, our oddities or our deformities, and the person who despises another for any of these things is but censuring the Creator for his work. Most people have heard the expression, "there is a nigger in the woodpile," and so self-explanatory is it for many things that you have your suspicions about that, the expression is almost good English just now. The writer has no idea of the origin of the expression, but he saw and heard something in the trial of a court case one day this week that brought it very much in evidence. In the group of a number of rather prominent white men in a picture was that of an equally prominent Negro. The case was over the failure of the picture being saleable to the public. One of the lawyers stoutly maintained that it was due to the presence of a nigger in the woodpile and finally said, "Why, gentlemen of the jury, do you think I would want the picture of a Negro in my parlor?" He said many other things along this line irrelevant and immaterial, and, we suspect, jeopardized the success of his case (he lost it), but be that as it may, when the case had been submitted and a verdict was being awaited, a Negro stood discussing the language in the argument and the attorney was quickly informed that if he and the Negro that had been under discussion were forced to either eat together or commingle in any way socially the Negro and not himself would be the injured party. While that was said in the heat of discussion, yet it subsequently leaked out that the bench and bar of this city think more by a thousand times over of that Negro lawyer in the picture than they do of that white lawyer who objected to the presence of the Negro lawyer. Some two weeks or more ago the Times published an editorial paragraph to the effect that Daniel H. Murray, formerly assistant congressional librarian and, who, by the way, is a Negro, is writing a book, advance sheets of which have already been sent out, which book will prove beyond a reason of doubt that Alexander Hamilton, one of the foremost founders of the United States government, was a Negro, that is to say, had Negro blood in his veins, which, according to ideas of the Caucasians of this age, is the same as a full-blood Negro.

His addressed companion, who had no more means of knowing the facts than he, gave his head a negative shake without uttering a single syllable. "Then," continued the speaker, "his nigger blood did not hurt him very much in the eyes of even those whites who knew it." Now did you ever have a finer demonstration of "what fools we mortals be" than the above? The drunken white street walker in a Southern city, who found herself in the clutches of the police and on discovering the arresting officer was coal black, fervently prayed, "Oh Lord, if I am to be arrested, send a white man to arrest me, but if you can not send a white officer, then send a nigger, but just as white as you have, for it will kill me to be arrested by a big black buck nigger." One case is about as consistent as the other. These stories remind the writer of an incident, which occurred in the first legislature of this state. The story about to be related at this time has been partially published in these columns before, but it is so apropos to the point at issue that it is repeated with much self-satisfaction. In writing a review of the pioneer Negroes in this state, the father of W. O. Bush of Thurston county was traced from Virginia to Bush Prairie, where he had pitched his tent, married a lovely woman and reared a large family of boys and girls, some of whom still reside on the old homestead. Young Bush became active in politics and was honored by being elected to the first state legislature. He roomed with Paul De Heiry, a Seattle politician, and the two were soon boon companions. Paul read the account of his companion's ancestry and almost turned black in the face. He was not satisfied with reading the account, but came to the office to see if the writer knew whereof he wrote. Being convinced that he did, he final- --- SPECIAL VALUES IN NEW SPRING SUITS J.S.

ERNEST B. HERALD. Attorney for Plaintiff. Office address, 226-30 Colman Bldg. Seattle, Washington. First publication dated Mar. 3, 1905 AT THE IHEATRES. "The Moonshiner's Daughter," the play that is being produced at the Third Avenue Theatre this week, has proven an agreeable surprise to the many patrons of that popular playhouse. It was advertised as a melodrama, and it proved to be the most interesting one seen there for a long time; and not only this, it is being presented by such a clever company of actors that one would have to search with a microscope to find which one possesses the most talent, for in their special characterization of the different parts of the play they are as good as any that have been seen here even at higher prices before, and the scenery is realistic and beautiful. "Across the Desert" is the title of the play that will receive its initial production at the Third Avenue Theatre next Sunday. The scenes are laid in Arizona and Southern California, where the great American Desert is the widest and dryest, and the incidents that occur are vivid pictures of life incidental to an emigrant train en route to California. The characters run the entire gamut of the human race, as it were; there are Indians, scouts, a Bowery boy, a heroic tramp, a cunning Chinaman, a funny Negro, an Arizona frontier girl, numerous bandits, Vaqueros, cowboys and a sacrificing Sister of Mercy. Surely enough to form a play of enhancing interest, and the Third Avenue Theatre will probably be crowded all next week. "The Marriage of Kitty," which has delighted play goers in adjacent cities with its wit and amusing complications, has been booked at the Grand next Friday, with Manager Jules Murry's admirable company, and that funny, clever and up-to-date comedian, Max Figman, as Sir Reginald, who consents to the marriage of Kitty only to carry out the conditions of a will, and who, after a year's absence, returns to arrange for a divorce, to find that the woman who has purposely made herself into a fright at the time of the marriage is really very charming, so he proceeds to fall in love with her. The delightful way in which she sings to her own piano accompaniment is one of her methods of charming him. Of this comedy a prominent paper said: "There could be no doubt of its merriment or of the popular acceptance of it. It is a remarkably clever comedy, free from suggestiveness and pleased an intelligent class of playgoers." The Pollard Lilliquutian Opera Company, that created such a furore when it appeared in this country a couple of years ago, will be again heard at the Grand on the evenings of Sunday to Thursday. The company has just returned from a most successful tour of the Orient, where they appeared in most of the largest cities. In Manilla they received an ovation, and were taken up socially by the most exclusive army circles, sharing in a round of entertainments devised for their delectation. The company has been materially strengthened since their American appearance, the comedy star being one THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN of the cleverest youngsters now on the stage, Master Teddie McNamara. Little Daphne Pollard, the seven-year-old soubrette, is still with the company, and it embraces a full register of singers, dancers, comedians and chorus. "The Belle of New York" is one of the finest musical comedies ever devised, an dit fits the company like a glove. They have added a number of pieces to their repertoire, for which new costumes and scenery have been devised, and in fact, they come prepared to give as finished entertainments as any company of adults in the country. No one should miss the Lilliputians, the only organization of the kind in the world. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches. Low rates.
