Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 47 POLITICAL POT=PIE The roster of active and reticent candidates for mayor, published in last week's Seattle Republican, has been widely discussed by the politicians for the past week and it is the consensus of opinion that, one or the other of the men mentioned in that connecton, will be the nominee, although one gentleman was of the opinion none of them would have even a look-in when convention day rolled around. The Pe-Maker, however, believes he is safe in predicting that if Cole becomes an active candidate the city hall politicians will back Frank P. Mullen as his opponent, in which case a battle royal will be the result. Mullen is not an avowed candidate for the job unless his friends urge him, but he and his friends will make an active and red hot scrap to defeat Cole. It is rather remarkable the number of men, who it was thought were against Mullen that are out openly declaring that if he were mayor, in their opinions, he would make a most excellent one. Mullen is truly a man of the people and if he were mayor the poor man could approach him on a matter of business the same as the rich man. In other words, the fact that he was mayor of Seattle would have no more effect on him than being councilman-at-large. He would be the same Frank Mullen that he has always been and, as some one has said, "a diamond in the rough." * * * It is reported on good authority that State Senator Andrew Hemrich has decided to back E. C. Neufelder for the nomination of mayor. That Senator Hemrich has a strong following in the city there is not the slightest bit of doubt and if he and his followers decide to make a fight for Neufelder and he (Neufelder) decides to help them make the fight, the next city convention, when it will have assembled, will know that they are there. Rumor has it, however, that Neufelder desires to go to the state senate to succeed Senator Ed Palmer, whose term of office will have expired at that time. That Mr. Neufelder will make the fight for state M. H. EDWARD CUDIHEE. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1905 senator seems, even at this early stage of the game, a foregone conclusion. That he will not make the fight for mayor seems equally true. He does not want to be mayor, but he does want to go to the state senate, for if he goes to the senate next year he will be able to cast a vote for either the re-election of [Name not visible in the image] FRANK P. MULLEN. Senator Levi Ankeny or the election of D. B. Crocker, and the one would be just as acceptable to him as the other. The Pie-maker is of the opinion that Senator Hemrich was only expressing his personal wishes in wanting Mr. Neufelder to become an active candidate for the mayoralty nomination, and by no means the wishes of Neufelder himself. The latter is at present out of the city, touring Europe, and will not return before summer, hence nothing definite from him can be heard on the subject, but it is safe to bet he will brush the mayoralty idea from his mind at one fell swoop. While it must be admitted that under ordinary circumstances for a Republican nominee for mayor of Seattle the nomination is equal to an election, yet there is quite a bit of dissatisfaction even among Republicans on account of the extravagance of the present municipal administration, and the Piemaker is not too sure but that, if a reliable, plain, plodding Democrat is nominated, he will make it awfully interesting for the Republican nominee next spring. There seems to be no doubt but that the Democrats have unanimously decided to give their nomination for mayor to ex-Sheriff Cudihee, if he will accept it (and he will), and when he is nomination he will put up a great scrap. Cudihee's popularity with the masses cannot be doubted for a minute, as he thoroughly demonstrated that by twice beating two of King county's most popular Republican politicians for the office of sheriff. In discussing the nomination of Cudihee for mayor with a number of leading Democrats they were all quite of the opinion that he could have the nomination for the asking, and they PRICE FIVE CENTS were not too sure but that it would be given to him whether he previously signified his willingness to take it or not. "I have read with much care your forecast of the Republican candidates for that office, but I have no hesitancy in saying that if Cudihee is ever pitted against either one of them under the circumstance that will attend the campaign next year he will beat the Republican nominee nearly 2,000 votes. Cudihee has no policy but right and Democrats and Republicans all thoroughly understand that, and for that reason he would win the fight in a walk," said a well known apparently stalwart Republican. Whether the state shall or shall not buy the Port Townsend water bonds is the question of the hour and the question that seems to be causing no small amount of trouble between the state house officials at present. Judging from the daily papers there is some slight difference between the state house officials as to the real worth of the bonds which has kicked up quite a bit of muss. The Piemaker, however, does not believe for a single minute there is a tenth part of the rupture that the Democratic organs would have us believe exists among the Republicans. The Times itself, while pretending in its news columns to be taking the side of the bond folk, has daly trimmed in its editorial columns, evidently trying to play a game of fast and loose, that it will be able to say, whichever way it goes, "I told you so." The matter has been taken to the courts and neither the daily papers nor the citizens should try the case on the street corners nor in the columns of the various papers, but let the courts decide. Having failed to be re-elected to the United States senate, ex-Senator Addison G. Foster, who for so many years was at the head of the Tacoma & St. Paul Lumber Co., has decided to move to California and has already connected himself with a lumber company in Los Angeles. Mr. Foster, after years of close business application, suddenly got the political bee in his bonnet and by a fluke was elected to the U. S. senate. He had had no political experience and knew nothing of the game, hence he petered out as suddenly as he fluked in. In the meantime he had lost grasp on the business with which he had been [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. E. C. NEUFELDER e James A.

At the ieee so long connected and whieh he had worked so untiringly to build up and at the close of a six-year life in the senate he found himself stranded both in polities and in business and was foreed to go somewhere else to start all over again. It seems an unwritten law that business men must keep out of polities. The Seattle Republican is very much wrought up because there is only one Negro officeholder in the state, a portion of his wrath doubtless being due to the fact the name of the lucky colored gentleman is not Cayton.—Olympia Capital. If the editor of this paper was compelled to eke out a miserable existence on so small an amount as the editor of the Capital is forced to do there might be some grounds for the above nasty fling. We pay our household help more than his paper earns in one month with another, to say nothing of other expenses such as never cross his pathway. Governor Mead has no job or position within his gift that the editor of The Seattle Republican would under any cireumstances have. We leave his $100 per month jobs to such as the editor of the Capi- tal, whose eyes would look like two moons if he would happen to get a whole hundred dollars at one time. However, The Seattle Republican believes that Gov. Mead is need- lessly offering the black men, who supported him so loyally, an affront in not at least of- fering some one of their number a position under his administration. It is certainly painfully poor polities as well as a lamentable lack of proper appreciation. Spokane’s Republican city convention last Saturday named the following ticket: For Mayor—W. H. Acuff. For Comptroller—F. E. Michaels. For Treasurer—W. H. Wiseombe. business blocks within the present year that, when completed, will cost not less than $700,000, which he himself will directly financier. He is connected with the building of the city market on the old university grounds and that, when completed, will also cost quite a sum of money. It has already been demon- strated that Mr. More is a city builder, he having caused to be erected, within the past few years, buildings costing over a million dollars, which can be seen in four gigantie brick blocks in the business center of the city standing as living monuments to his untiring energy, while the Hotel Washington, which stood for so long a white elephant on the hands of its original builders, has been made the leading hotel of the Northwest through his business enterprise. In speaking about the street railway franchise that he has applied for from the city council, Mr. Moore, when questioned as to whether or not the city council was unduly delaying the proposition, said: OARS atelnab’ ear undertaking ia a big proposition and THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN COUNCIL TICKET.

The platform is as follows: Following is the platform unanimously adopted by the Republicans of Spokane in their city convention yesterday : “The Republican party in convention as- sembled reviews with satisfaction the result of the national and state campaigns and the safe and stable condition of our country un- der the rule of that peerless man, Theodore Roosevelt. “We point with pride to the growth of our own city of Spokane; the large increase in her population, and the splendid develop- ment of her resources. ““We indorse the administration of Mayor L.

Onee, as the story goes, two Irishmen were engaged in a discussion, when Pat asked Mike what socialism was. “*Well, socialism is sort of an equal di- vision of property,’ said Mike. ‘What’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine.

In reviewing the enterprises, which Mr. Moore has completed since he began operating in this city, the Capital Hill addition, which is the finest resident portion of the city, should not be overlooked. Moore’s Capitol Hill addition has been built up with elegant homes and it is the veritable picture garden of Seattle, and the visitor to the city will have missed her finest resident district if he or she does not visit this while looking over the city. Mr. Moore himself has a home in this addition, which will cost, when finally completed, not less than $50,000. When J. A. Moore first begun operation in Seat- tle under the firm name of J. A. Moore & Co. he seems to have started out to build small homes for men able to make moderate monthly paynjents for such, and a number of persons own niceshomes in Seattle today, which were erected by him’; but he soon saw Seattle would be the great city of the Northwest and it did not take him long to convince Eastern capitalists that he had seen the right light and he was given the handling of thousands and aves hee than panera ae Ol aaeeio- ah: ho haa FRIDAY. APRIL 21. 1905 A PLEA FOR MIDWIVES. Thousands of mothers in New York are compelled on account of their poverty to employ ignorant and careless midwives, instead of physicians, and this, in the opinion of many, constitutes the real race suicide. The average midwife is so lacking in fitness for her important work that each year an army of women and children are sacrificed to her incompetency. This slaughter of actual babes is the race suicide which is looming up in the distance, black and threatening. One must be farsighted to at present see the exact remedy. As the physicians become more skilled in the science of obstetrics the wealthy gain thereby, but the poor are the sufferers, for the surgeons' charges keep pace with their experience. The poor mother, who, in most instances, already has several depending upon her scanty store, realizes that a physician for her approaching confinement is out of the question. There is one and only one refuge for her—a midwife. In large cities and in the South this is especially true. The midwife of the Southland, during the war and since, has presided at the arrival of many a child who today has attained his growth and is now fighting midwives as things of great evil. "Black mama" rendered her best services and seldom lost a baby or a mother, but those were not such days of blood poisoning as are these. A proper regulation of midwives which would prevent their practicing until they undergo a schooling at least as long and as careful as that of the trained nurse, is advocated by some; others think each aspirant to the midwife profession should be required to pass a rigid examination set by the State Board of Regents. If women who devote their time to this profession were obliged to spend so much of their means and time preparing themselves for the work they would, on being pronounced proficient demand pay in accordance with physicians and trained nurses and thus pass out of the reach of the poorer classes. There are splendid results obtained by the lying-in hospitals and dispensaries, where women are attended by skilled physicians and trained nurses. This is said to be chiefly due to the rigid technic, the essential feature of which is cleanliness. Not until cities extend to the poor expectant mother the benefits of such institutions free of charge ought their only dependance—cheap midwives—be taken from them. UNDER CRITICISM. Mr. Chapman says the day of revivals has not passed; on the contrary, is now in its bloom. There never was a time in human history when men were so set in their religious views. The tendency is toward broadness, but there is also a tendency toward impatience with conflicting ideas. So the manner in which the present revival in Seattle is being conducted has called forth much discussion. "Too much excitement," says one; "only card converts," says another; "too much Chapman," says a third; "just a means to an end," say many. "One young girl stood up in meeting and asked that her mother be prayed for, which was virtually admitting that her mother is a bad woman," objects a man well known for his quiet demeanor. These things may or may not be, to a greater or less extent, but the fact that THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the church people of Seattle have been spiritually awakened remains, and the fact that ungodly men and women have become interested to the extent of attending the meetings remains. There are many converts, but they will not be lasting, says opinion. If the ninety and nine fall by the wayside there is the one who will be left. We are told that the rejoicing in heaven over just one sinner that repenteth is great indeed, and we are well aware of the good one Christian in a community can do. If the excitement attending the meetings is so great as to be repulsive to some, likely theirs it is to be converted, or, if converted, strengthened by deep reasoning—the thought powers being taxed to their utmost. All persons do not live in the world of thought. They act as they feel. Others feel and then think. But all, when once set in the right pathway, walk onward with great diligence. Then, it is the result of things that we look for; the "something attempted, something done" which counts. EYES. YET SEE NOT. There is a story told of a farmer who owned a rather up-to-date ranch. But he did not realize what he really possessed and became dissatisfied. He went to town and employed a lawyer to write an advertisement of his ranch, stating that he wished to sell at once. The lawyer questioned him as to the extent of his ranch, the number of his cattle, his horses, his pigs, the condition of his house, his wagons, his plows and bins, after which he told him to call next day and he would have everything in readiness. The next day the farmer called and the lawyer read aloud to him the statement he had prepared. The farmer's eyes grew big in astonishment; his lower jaw dropped as the lawyer proceeded. "Do you mean that I have a place like that?" he gasped. "That's what you told me," replied the lawyer. "Tear that paper up," said the farmer, reaching for his hat. "Money can't buy my farm. Why that's just the kind of a place I wanted all of my life." The condition of affairs between the white land owners in teh South and the Negro laborers is similar. The South is seeking Italians, Chinese coolies, Japanese and other raw material, not even speakers of the English language, to do its farm work which the Negro understands and is willing and waiting to do. These foreigners will prove to be like frozen snakes, which cuddle close until warm and then sting the source from which their warmth came. The Negro is a contented worker and does not strike. When the Southerner has been deserted by his laborers when he needed them most he'll realize that there are worse questions than the Negro problem. The Negro is said not to save his money. This does not materially affect his employers. If he spends his money the Southern grocer and merchant profits thereby. On the other hand the foreigner feels that he is on alien soil, ekes out a miserable existence, hoards his money, and when he buys either sends back to "the old country" or orders his supplies from the North. "Experience is a dear teacher, but her lessons are well learned." 'Where did you get that decorated eye, William?' "A policeman slugged me because I told him I wouldn't trust him any sooner than I would a city councilman." "You were wrong, William. It is true, perhaps, that we ought not to expect a policeman to be more truthful, conscientious, virtuous and honest than our senators, congressmen, judges and other exalted public officials; but it was insulting to compare them with such notorious grafters and schemers as the average councilmen."—Ex.

Judging from newspaper accounts of Spokane's last Saturday convention she has made the necessary preparations for a Republican land slide. The owners of the Seattle and Electric company have such a good thing that it is bragging about its net earnings to the Associated Press. Seattle is a good thing. Municipal ownership grows more popular every day. The Seattle street car system could be operated at a handsome profit by putting into effect a two cent fare. Judging from newspaper accounts Governor Mead has a Coon on his hands just now that will not be extradited without a fierce struggle in the courts. If President Roosevelt would turn some of his guns on the yellow journal correspondents he might then be able to hunt bears without those fiends hounding his footsteps for sensationals. Let's see, we believe Olympia instituted an iron clad boycott against Tacoma, but Tacoma goods are still sent to Olympia. Port Townsend might profit by Olympia's experience in her proposed boycott of Seattle. The grafting printers combine is still furnishing Pud'n Head Matson unsavory dope. A more deserving trick was never turned in politics than when Allen, Corbaly and Al Howe of unholy alliance got the pins knocked from under them. It is really a relief to know that merchants are hereafter to keep their wares from blockading the streets, and a man who desires to reach a certain point stands a chance of getting there within a reasonable length of time. The editor of a Socialist paper in this state tried to commit suicide a few days ago. It was doubtless prompted from the fact that he realized, when it was too late, he had fallen from the sublime to the ridiculous, he having been formerly a Republican editor. It is said that if George Meredith would go to West Ossipee, N. H., and visit among some of the mountaineers he would be able to see what the state of affairs would be if the world adopted his view of limited marriage THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN certificates. Lawlessness, poverty and general misery have blighted the inhabitants. At the opening of a "bargain store" in Philadelphia a few days since hundreds of persons were trampled almost to death, and it required the whole police force to disperse the thousands of bargain hunters who had been attracted to the opening. That class of people wanting to get something for nothing was perhaps never before so much in evidence. How the average country newspaper man is able to see the "fine Italian" hand of Senator Wilson "in every appointment Gov. Mead makes" no one but himself can say. If Wilson could do all he is charged with having done the governor himself would be but a mere political pygmy in his hands. Wilson must be a great man, for his political enemies themselves have repeatedly told us so. Improvement associations, while interesting themselves in cleaner Seattle, would do nothing amiss if they became interestd in a crusade against spitting. The law against spitting on sidewalks is not made strict enough. Often women have to hold their skirts when seated upon the street cars and the sidewalks and stairways in many places are rendered repulsive by persons who consider their own convenience more than they do the health of the general public. Rev. Dr. Brady, whose report on field work at the Methodist conference, at Melrose, caused so much excitement, may have unthinkingly made the inopportune pause in his sentence; may have suffered bodily pain to the extent of rendering him speechless at that second, but American men do not take such things with relish and the reproof administered to Dr. Brady in the form of relief from office will doubtless have force enough to prevent his letting such happen again when a woman's name and reputation are at stake. The University of Washington has had its circus. Some acted as clowns and some as various animals. The question is, has anyone been uplifted therefrom; has the reputation of the university been strengthened therefrom. It is hard to say. Yet one thing which is quite easy is the following thought: If the university were an institution devoted manly to the education of Negro youths and they had given a similar entertainment, hundreds of Anglo-Saxons would have openly declared that higher education so far as the Negro is concerned is a failure. The First Methodist Episcopal church of Spokane burned to the ground last Sunday morning and, it is very generally believed, it was the work of an incendiary. The human monster that would burn a church and inconvenience a whole community because he or she forsooth had some real or imaginary cause to differ from the pastor or the church in general is deserving of the speediest death imaginable. The membership of the above church numbers 1,700 and is the fourth church in numbers in the United States. Plans are already on foot looking forward --- FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1905. to the erection of a $50,000 or $60,000 edifice as soon as the debris of the burned building can be cleared away. Judgng from the following from the Wilbur Register sentiment in Eastern Washington toward Gov. Mead is a bit different to the sentiment in the same section against Candidate Mead: In reviewing the political situation in Seattle and King county, the Seattle Republican makes many suggestions as to why that county will be a storm center at the approach of the campaign next year. In referring to Governor Mead the Republican says: "Already there is a strong anti-Mead sentiment brewing in King county, and before he will make 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 renominaton 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 score who think Governor Mead is altogther 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." It is not at all illogical to presume that the King county influence will be against Governor Mead if he continues to go ahead, doing what he honestly believes to be right, and no doubt, if he appoints men on the railway commission who will discharge their duties honestly and conscientiously, he will complete the estrangement of a large element of Seattle politicians. But if they undertake to shelve him at the next convention, as they did Governor McBride, they are likely to find themselves mixed up in the fight of their lives. All of the west side will not be against him. Besides all the east side, Governor Mead will have a strong following on the west, and when it comes to a finish fight they are apt to find themselves facing as hard a combination as they did in the recent legislature. The contest will rather be welcomed by east-siders. Acme Publishing Co. 214 COLUMBIA ST.

Mr. Pigott says the plant will be opened with a roster of 150 men employed therein, and this number, he thinks, will be materially increased right away soon, until before the present year passes into history not fewer than 1,000 men will be regularly employed at the iron plant, at wages ranging all the way from $2.50 to $5 per day. Let Seattle's business men off with their hats to William Pigott, for while other promoters and builders have bent their energies toward getting possession of remunerative property in the shape of bringing in large rentals, this promoter puts into operation an enterprise that will not only prove remunerative to those furnishing the money and the brains, but will give employment to large numbers of men, who, after all, are the real builders of a city. "Seattle is to become a Chicago No. 2," enthusiastically declared a well known Seattle street boomer not long since; whereupon a big real estate dealer rather dryly butted in: "Well, yes; it will when she gets sufficient manufacturing enterprises brigade."

The report of the joint board of army and navy officers reccommend that jui-jitsu be incorporated in the course with boxing and wrestling. It is thought that a knowledge of the system will be the means of inspiring self-confidence more than a means of physical development. In the year 1904, over 606,000 immigrants passed through Ellis island. It is believed that the figures will this year run about 760,000, and that the million mark is but a few years removed. The figures certainly seem great, but E. P. Sargent, commissioner general of immigration, says there is work waiting for the millions yet to come. When the president calls an extra session of congress in October it is said he will push his pet subject—the rate bill. There will then be no excuse of "undue haste" and the rate bill will be presented as a subject of paramount importance.

His prophecy has been fulfilled. Our foreign representatives in China have reported to the state department that China is preparing to build a great navy and advised that American contractors put in bids for constructing the ships and furnishing the war material that will be needed by China. The plans are to build 20 battleships, 20 armored cruisers and 120 torpedo boats within 10 years. A sixty thousand candle power searchlight, surrounded by several hundred incandescent lamps, will be mounted on the summit of Pike's peak this summer. Experts say the light will be visible one hundred and fifty miles over the plains. The light will be installed as a resort attraction, the electric current being furnished from Manitou. The czar of Russia is an omniverous reader. He is a fine linguist and can both read and speak English, French, Italian and German with as much fluency as he can Russian. As regards his wealth, the weight of his purse cannot be estimated with a pretense to strict accuracy, yet he is seldom free from melancholy. The shadow of an assassin is ever before his eyes. His is indeed a case of "uneasy lies the head that wears a crown." In a recent speech before the United States senate Mr. Bacon, of Georgia, made give her the right that she may lay claim to being a second Chicago. The success of his enterprise will mean the springing up of a hundred and one lesser, but dependent enterprises, that will sooner or later give employment to thousands of laborers, who will buy homes and become the real financial distributors. Hats off, hands up, and three cheers for William Pigott, the iron king. The new plant will begin by utilizing all of the scrap iron it can get, but it will not be many months before the virgin mineral from Mother Earth, which is so common to this section, will be furnishing the furnaces of the plant raw material for its use, and that, too, will give regular employment to large numbers of men, all of whom will spend their earnings in Seattle, which will do more by a thousand times over toward making Seattle prosperous than even the long-talked-of United States senator. Seattle is in need of that kind of business that will give employment to the hundreds and thousands that have already come here, as well as to those coming. Unless she finds steady employ- in the order of the Pigott plant promises to be, her life to be of a mushroom nature, and her high valued lot sell for even a low value. It is therefore up to the little to find work for the unemployed. the statement that the cotton crop from that state last year sold for more than all the gold that was dug in all the mines of the United States, including its territories and outlying possessions, and the part of the crop which went to foreign parts, which was two-thirds of it, amounted to within a very small fraction as much in dollars as all the gold dug in the whole of the United States during the year. Three hundred and thirty-four Jewish farmers, representing 1,963 persons, have taken up abandoned farms of New England and have succeeded in making them profitable. There are in the United States over 2,000 Jewish farmers, representing 10,000 persons, profitably engaged in tilling American soil. It is now claimed that there are no bad acres in America, and that land which is now considered practically worthless will one day furnish food for flocks and herds. All that is needed is to wait until the agricultural explorers, who are in every far corner of the earth, find crops that have become so acclimated to the dry condition similar to our own in the West and we will have plants thriving upon our desert lands. There are 500 lepers in the province of Havana alone and 1,297 known lepers in the Island of Cuba. It is believed that fleas transmit the leprosy and hence advocated that patients suffering therefrom be so isolated that there will be small danger of coming in contact with fleas which have bitten them. --- Afro-Americanism A SQUARE DEAL. "All that the Negro wants is a square deal," says the Portland Advocate, whose editor is a Negro. "A square deal" is all right, but there are a great many Negroes, as well as Caucians, who would feel awful nonpleased if they were absolutely certain they were actually going to get a square deal. In other words, there is ample room for improvement, both morally and otherwise, among the "brothers in black." In Seattle, and we venture the same is true of Portland and every other town on the Pacific Coast, where are to be found large numbers of Negroes, not less than 80 per cent of them are habitues of the great "under world," and a square deal for the most of them might mean a term in a state's prison. The Negro, it is true, and even the criminal ones, wants a square deal on general principles; but he wants first a square training, that will lead him to seek and find homes in either the resident part of the city or on farms, and then maintain them in an honorable and upright manner. If more Negroes about cities and town would adopt this plan there would not be a need of this everlasting demand of "a square deal" for them. When Negroes acquire good and comfortable homes, either in the city or the country, somehow or other the dominant race seems eager to give him a square deal, and that, too, without him demanding it. The Negro just now needs more than a square deal; he needs polishing, refining and proper training from the cradle to the grave, and the square deal will follow in its wake as night follows day. AGAINST RACE SUICIDE. Telegraph the news even to the wilds of Colorado to President Roosevelt that his teachings against "race suicide" is having the desired effect at least among the Negro inhabitants of this country, as the Associate Press dispatches have recently told of a "colored couple" in Des Moines, Iowa, who are the proud possessors of twins, that but a few days ago came to their home, but the remarkable thing, however, about these twins is the age of their parents, the father being 78 years of age and the mother 63. If the mother were desparagingly younger than the father it would not be much out of order to inquire as to the father's neighbors, but such an insinuation would be as applicable to the one as to the other. The sum and substance of the whole matter is, the aged couple took President Roosevelt's race suicide talk serious and got busy. James Bradley is the name of this anti-race suicide hero, and he and his wife are the parents of 17 children, and of the whole, seven pairs of twins are registered. The old gentleman was born a slave in Louisiana, but joined the Union Army during the great civil strife, and fought in the battles of Vicksburg and Fort Pillow. There are a great many younger couples, both white and black, in this country that would do well to emulate the example of Mr. and Mrs. James Bradley. LEARN TO AUTOMOBILE. Now that the automobile is the raging craze of the country and thousands of machines are being sold to persons for pleasure, it might be a stroke of financial policy if quite a few of the Negro youths of this country would betake themselves to a school of training and become experts in the handling of automobiles, and thereby make themselves not only ornamental, but extremely useful by becoming invaluable as chaffeurs. It is barely possible that even in Seattle young colored men bringing recommendations from experts as to their efficiency in operating automobiles, quite a few prepossessing young Negroes could find employment by owners of such machines used for pleasure, and that, too, at wages ranging all the way from $75 to $100 per month. The white coachman may, in isolated cases, supplant the colored coachman; but it will be a good long time before he does so to any alarming extent from the colored coachman's standpoint, and if the same class of white citizens who use colored coachmen were absolutely certain they could as carefully handle their automobile on crowded streets of big cities as their carriages, they would with equal readiness employ him as their chaffeur. The matter is worthy of more than a passing consideration, and we suggest that Prof. Booker T. Washington include this new branch of industrial education in his regular curriculum at Tuskegee. COLORADO COLORED COLONY. In the great West are to be found many "self-governing" colonies among different nationalities and sects, but Colorado is to boast of the first of the self-governing kind among Negroes. The natural home of these people is on a farm, and it is rather remarkable that many efforts of this kind have not been previously attempted, especially in the West, where there are millions of acres of government land which may be had by only paying the homestead fee, which does not exceed $15, and which lands would bloom like a garden as soon as watered, which feat could be accomplished by men with the will and the muscle, and that, too, almost without money. A cooperative colony could go 40 or 100 miles away and ditch water to their lands, which would cost nothing but their labor, and once watered, the lands would instantly jump from no value at all to be worth all the way from $25 to $100 per acre. It is learned from a Colorado paper that a 10,000-acre tract has been selected and 100 colored families are ready to leave for their new Eldorado. Rev. Allen Allenworth, at present chaplain of the Twenty-fourth United States infantry, but who will retire on the age limit in May, is taking the lead in the movement, and feels very hopeful of its ultimate success. Something similar might be accomplished in the State of Washington. BE YOUR BROTHER'S KEEPER. Colored people should patronize each other, if they hope to succeed in business. When white people see that colored people support each other, thousands of them are liberal enough to come forward and support them. After all, the stock sold in colored business houses is purchased at wholesale rates from white business ones and the white brother gets the benefit of it and can afford to look with composure upon the effort.

"I am really in love with ranch life and am proud of the fact that I own a quarter section of land. My ranch is in a splendid section of the state and, judging from what my neighbors have already accomplished on their ranches in the immediate vicinity of mine, when I get a title from the government for that quarter section of land I will have something that will be worth a fortune to me," said Frank T. Anderson one day this week, who had recently returned from his homestead, which is located in Klickitat county. "Wichin perhaps a six-mile radius of my ranch some forty other colored families have taken up homesteads and the most of them are working like Trojans to get something of a crop in this year. Rev. Petigrew, who is the pioneer Negro to that locality, raised a small crop last year, but has a more extensive one started for this year. Dr. Samuel Burdett has a god home built, has fifteen or twenty acres of wheat growing and other farm produce. James Allen has some wheat in, a potato crop planted and a comfortable house built. William Eversole has a good house built, some wheat in and other improvements made. The same is true of Mr. Scott. On the whole a nice settlement of col- On the water DRESS EASTER SUITS J. S.

AT THE THEA RES. | among the little o AT THIRD AVENUE THEATRE. It is a master stroke on the part of the management of the Third Avenue Theatre in securing the thrilling war drama “In the Far East,” now being acted at the up-town theatre. The theme of the play is a live one and the production highly creditable. Of course, it is realistic, but that is a ne- cessity. The scenery is new. and pleas- ing to the eye, and is doubtless exact reproductions from sketches made on the spot. The Chinese patigoda scene in Newchwang is certainly Chinese. “In the Far Hast” runs at the up-town theatre all week, except Good Friday night. “A Girl From Albany” comes to the Third Avenue Theatre next week. She is said to be a good looking miss, 17 years old; she has been to school in Albany for several years, while her mamma, a society lady of New York, has been courted by Mr. Bowser and has married that amiable gentleman without informing him that she had a daughter. When the aforesaid daugh- ter returns, she is introduced to the new “hubby” as a friend from Albany, and this engenders a series of com- plex and absurd situations, only to be encountered and disentangled in a farce comedy. If you go to the Third Avenue Theatre this coming week, you will laugh. AT THE GRAND. The Grand has a great winner in the Pollard Lilliputian Opera Com- pany. There is not an incompetent in the lot, and as one “kiddie” takes the place of another the audience is kept guessing as to which is the most tal- ented. Daphne Pollard is the marvel among the little ones, and a close sec- ond in popular favor is Teddie Mc- Namara. Beginning next Sunday night will commence the third and last week. Four plays will be presented. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights and Wednesday matinee “A Gaiety Girl” will be the Dill. Wednesday and Thursday nights will be devoted to the pretty Japanese musical comedy, “The Geisha.” Friday and Saturday nights “an American Millionaire.” For the regular matinee on Saturday the opera will be announced later. All of the plays have been equipped with new scenery and costumes and no one should miss the opportunity of wit- nessing the entertainments offered by these clever little artists. Popular prices as usual will prevail. Uncle Joe has barrels of money to loan on diamonds, watches and jewelry. Store 517 Second. Sy $ | & ON Sy PAPer AL A8 CIA One CAN y t) ye) Sr YES SIR!
