Seattle Republican

Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 49 POLITICAL POT=PIE There was a municipal election in Spokane last Tuesday and the Pie-Maker is of the opinion the Republicans of that city, and especially one Acuff, is well aware of that fact. While the Democrats seemed badly divided, they having two candidates, yet the Republicans were worse divided, though they had but one candidate, and as a result, the Democrats almost made a clean sweep, electing F. L. Daggett, mayor, the balance of the ticket, and all of the members of the council but three. Spokane of late has fallen into the habit of going Democratic, and that, too, despite the recent encouragement that she has been given by Governor Albert E. Mead in the way of an over liberal apportionment of state patronage. Sooner or later, it seems to the Pie-maker, the Republicans will wish they had their Johnny Wilson back to help them get delivered from the body of that dead Democrat, which on account of their contentiousness has been fastened about their necks. * * * Speaking about the election of Daggett reminds the Pie-Maker that, it was talked in political circles before the election was pulled off in Spokane that United States Marshal Hopkins was not giving the Republican candidate the hearty support that he naturally would be expected to do. In short, it was whispered that Hopkins was actually supporting Daggett, and the defeat of Acuff meant the almost utter ruin of the party in that city, which would personally please Hopkins; that Spokane would go to the next state convention all shot to pieces, and, finally, the Republicans would roundly denounce Hopkins and would be glad of the day when he shook the dust of Spokane off his feet. Hopkins will soon move his entire effects to Seattle, where he hopes to find greener fields politically than those he is leaving in Spokane. Spokane, after all, is an ori-eyed Democrat hot-bed, and it now seems beyond Republican redemption. * * * From the speech made by Hon. John E. Humphries last night at the Renton Hill Improvement Club it is very evident that at the next municipal election in Seattle there are signs of shaking up in Republican circles such as was given to Spokane last Tuesday in store for the boys. The Pie-Maker is not of the opinion that there will actually be a Democratic victory in Seattle, but in the campaign there will be something doing among Democrats, and unless the Republicans keep on the move they will find no more great big majorities for their candidates as in the past. This is not being said for the purpose of encouraging Democracy, but to enthuse Republicanism. The Republicans are doing too many things that do not look well in print and do not sound well to voters and taxpawers in SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1905 the affairs of Seattle for the good of the party, and unless there is an improvement all along the line the Republican candidates next spring will feel the effects of the same. * * * The personnel of the railroad commission, with the exception of Harry Fairchild, is still the political puzzle of the hour. The governor has a whole month more in which to make the appointments, and it looks as though he means to take all the time that has been allotted to him to figure out whom he will appoint. Believing that the Pie-Maker can be of some assistance to the governor in deciding to whom these appointees should go, it is his intention at this time to again call the governor's attention to the peculiar fitness of ex-Governor John H. McGraw as the west side appointee and the Hon. Sam G. Cosgrove as the east side appointee. Tinhorn politicians, governor, are all right for certain kinds of appointments, but the success of your administration depends on whom you appoint on this railroad commission. This measure has become a law of this state, and the voters all over the state are anxious to see it honestly tried, which means that it must be applied by honest men, men of integrity, who can and will rise even above partisan dogma, when placed in so responsible a position, and do their duty as patriotic citizens, and not as politicians. This is not being said with any intention of speaking harshly against the other candidates for the two appointments, for they are honorable men, only they are each rabid railroad men, and it is generally believed the people would not get a square deal when pitted against the railroad corporations, with those men on the commission. Your Fairchild appointment, governor, has been severely criticised by the state press, and if you appoint other men of the same stripe as Fairchild, the people will have no more show at a square deal than would a snowball have trying to shoot through hades. * * * Senator A. T. Van de Vanter after all is going to get well. In short, he is already so near well that well is just over the fence. How the yellow journals did hang around his door with the hope of getting the first news of his death. From the interest some of the daily papers showed in keeping the public posted on his physical condition his not dying was a sore disappointment to them. Not being able to report his demise, a reporter was out to see him one day last week and reported a conversation which took place between Van and his partner, Senator Link Davis, which was not only naussiating, but highly out of place, and no one but an unsophisticated horse's rosette would have done such a thing. But Van's recovery will be a sad disappointment to others not of the yellow journal tribe, but to politicians whom he has from time to time opposed. Glad you are on the high road of recovery, old man, and that we will meet again where the gang periodically assemble. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 905 PRICE FIVE CENTS SENATOR A. T. VAN DE VANTER. DISCUSS MEAD'S APPOINTMENTS. The news that Governor Mead has announced that Harry Fairchild of Whatcom will be one of the members of the railroad commission, while not a surprise, is none the less a disappointment to the real friend of the policy.—Colfax Commoner. * * * Governor Mead has named as one of his railroad commissioners Harry Fairchild of Bellingham. Fairchild has been on both sides of the commission question, and time alone can develop whether he will stand "for the people or agin the people."—Walla Walla Record. *** Harry A. Fairchild, one of the leading attorneys of Bellingham, has been appointed by Governor Mead as the first member of the railroad commission. Lincoln Davis of Davenport has been appointed food and dairy inspector.—Hartline Standard. * * * Governor Mead has announced the appointment of L. Davis to the position of state dairy and food commissioner, to succeed E. A. McDonald, who has held the position since the first pure food law was enacted in this state. The new appointee is a resident of Davenport and is a lawyer by profession. He is a native of Pennsylvania and has been a resident of Washington for the past twelve years. Without knowing more of Mr. Davis' qualifications to fill this position, The Trade has no desire to criticise the appointment, though it has always maintained that this office should be administered by an official possessing a practical knowledge of the business of handling food products, without reference to his success as a politician or friend of the administration. Of one thing the grocery trade of the state should take cognizance, however, and that is that a new broom usually does some dusting, and there is likely to be something doing in the way of food investigations and prosecutions. Merchants who have not taken the trouble to protect themselves from loss by means of a guarantee of purity from the jobber or manufacturer should do so at once. There is only one safe policy in the matter, and that is to take no unnecessary chances.—West Coast Trade. --- Senator Andrew Hemrich vs. Strikers the selecting of the men. Again, the unions demand that, when one or any number of men are to be laid off, the secretary of the union, and not the owners of the brewery, is to name the men that are to be laid off. Now, was there ever a more unreasonable excuse for a number of men going out on a strike than this? Is it not enough for a concern to agree to employ only union men, without having to agree to giving some one else the right to say who of his force they shall lay off? If The strike of the brewery workers in this city is, to say the least, the most absurd move along the strike line that has ever before been reported to the public; and then the confession of the strikers that, it is the Seattle Brewing & Malting Company that they are directly after reminds one of the boy who wanted to get even with the preacher. If the strikers had a grievance against one or two firms, their strike should and the same would have been defeated if Senator Hemrich had not appealed to his fellow senators to let them run the gauntlet for his sake. Knowing this, it comes with ill grace to this man, who is the head of the concern, to be singled out for their ire, opposition and financial ruin. refuse to allow the union to dictate to them whom they employ and whom they discharge. The brewers acceded to the demands of the unions and employ only union men, but they reserve the right to select such union men as they want. The union, on the other hand, not only insists that only union men be employed by the brewers, but they go further and demand that, when additional union men are wanted, the secretary of the union, and not the foreman of the brewery, must do Even laboring men should try to be fair in their dealings with the other fellow. It may be hard, but try it. TALES OF THE TOWN More than one heart in Seattle ached for Ah Sou, the Chinese slave girl, who must, according to the laws of the United States, go back to China and prostitution. There should be some chance for those who desire a better life, be they Chinese or any other nationality, for America is supposed to stand for liberty, and no judge should be forced to make a decision which virtually damns a soul. *** It is rather pleasing to note that next November will usher in a flower show. Chrysanthemums big and chrysanthemums little, chrysanthemums bright and chrysanthemums brighter will be displayed for inspection by the various city florists while Seattle witnesses her first "truly" flower show. When J. B. Avery, aged 70 years, of Ballard, assaulted Mrs. Marie Davis, about 60 years of age, for driving her cows by his place the public had a rather realistic illustration of a man having been given a long time in which to have learned self-control and forbearance, but who failed to possess even in old age what should have been gaied in early manhood. *** To the casual observer it hardly seems possible that Seattle is the fifth port of the continent in the cotton export trade. But such is the case, and the Minnesota, which sailed from this port Tuesday, May 2, carried 10,000 bales of raw cotton. One of the greatest Senator Andre The strike of the brewery workers in this city is the most absurd move along the strike line that has reported to the public; and then the confession of th is the Seattle Brewing & Malting Company that they reminds one of the boy who wanted to get even with the strikers had a grievance against one or two firms, extend to such firms only, instead of to all other institutions of a like nature in the state. To strike may be the only means whereby the laboring man can combat the united efforts of combined capital, but in using their only weapon of defense, it should be used in self-defense rather than for selfish purposes. No sensible man should deny labor its right to combine for self-protection, but the combination of labor abused is just as unreasonable, unjust and corrupting as capital combined, and even more so, for the latter takes it by piece-meal and systematically, while the former attempts to enforce its demands by violence, property destruction, and sometimes even by human destruction. But let's return to the strike of the brewers from a ridiculous standpoint. The chief excuse they offer for striking is, the owners of the breweries refuse to allow the union to dictate to them whom they discharge. The brewers acceded to the unions and employ only union men, but they reserve such union men as they want. The union, on the other insists that only union men be employed by the brewer further and demand that, when additional union men secretary of the union, and not the foreman of the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN factors which is surely making out of Seattle one of the leading cities in this commonwealth is the growth of foreign commerce with this port. *** A Jerry McAuley mission to succor the fallen and to provide a home for the destitute is to be added to Seattle's charitable institutions. Seventeen churches are interested in the mission, and it promises to give relief where relief is much needed. The rapid growth of the city would naturally demand such a mission. Other cities of similar size have them, and the Chapman meetings doubtless hastened the organization which the ministers have perfected. Rabbi Theodore F. Joseph of the Temple de Hirsch, Seattle, recently preached a sermon on race prejudice. "Prejudice," he said, "is indigenous to barbarisms and has come down from the dark ages." Whereas the sermon was especially intended for members of the Hebrew race, it applied to all mankind discriminated against on account of race, color or previous condition. He said: "The progress of the human race is very slow. We are not advancing with the sweep of an eagle's wings, but rather with the slow and laborious crawl of a snake. Though the world has been in existence for aeons, and though we may boast of the colossal achievements in industrial and in economic realms, we are now only in the infancy of the world's growth. This assertion is evidenced by the existence of the different prejudices flourishing today. "What is a prejudice? The etymology of the term clearly defines prejudice as an act of judgment before the requisite knowledge rew Hemrich ty is, to say the least, has ever before been of the strikers that, it they are directly after with the preacher. If ms, their strike should the selecting of the r or any number of men not the owners of the off. Now, was there men going out on a s to agree to employ or some one else the rig [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie, looking slightly to the right.

Knowing this, head of the concern, financial ruin. Even laboring me other fellow. It may and the necessary facts have been gathered. Prejudice is indigenous to barbarism, and barbarism is characteristic of distrust. Prejudice has come down from the dark ages. For barbarians, the confines of home are coextensive with the lines of tribal or racial affinity. The first prejudice existed between family and family; then between clan and clan; thne between tribe and tribe. To be the son of another tribe marked one an enemy. As long as men did not come together, they would and could not learn to know one another. Ignorance was then, as it is now, the futile mother of prejudice. There are racial prejudices. There are national prejudices. But nowhere has the dogmatic spirit of prejudice been allowed unchecked play to a greater extent than within the sacred precincts of religion. Nowhere abound so many and such obstinate prejudices as in the shrines where altars flame and the sweet frank incense of devotion curls its devout fragrance heavenward." A race which has never been oppressed can have but little idea of the weight of depression under which it places those so unfortunate. To be barred from privileges which other men enjoy and to which all men have a God-given right, simply because you are who you are, galls at times almost past endurence. Then it is that to the oppressed the oppressor's treatment seems nothing short of hellish. NO "BOYCOTT" HERE. 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 experi- ch vs. Strikers the men. Again, the unions demand that, when one men are to be laid off, the secretary of the union, and of the brewery, is to name the men that are to be laid here ever a more unreasonable excuse for a number of a strike than this? Is it not enough for a concern only union men, without having to agree to giving right to say who of his force they shall lay off? If a concern does such a thing, has it not given up to a disinterested party every vestige right it has? "The Seattle Brewing & Malting Company and the Hemrich Brewing Company are the real rascals we are after, and to get them we propose to ruin the business of every other concern in the state doing a similar business," is the principle the strikers are working on just now. Such a state of affairs is too mean, low and contemptible to even be discussed. These particular firms may have done the laboring men great injustice, but, if so, why not get even with them. The laboring men may have grounds for complaint against the Seattle Brewing & Malting Company, but in the legislative hall of this state for the past six years they have had a firm friend in Andrew Hemrich. He has had laws passed by the legislature that did not meet public approval, should have been defeated if Senator Hemrich had not fellow senators to let them run the gauntlet for his this, it comes with ill grace to this man, who is the vern, to be singled out for their ire, opposition and g men should try to be fair in their dealings with the may be hard, but try it.

It was only the head-strong element, to be found in every popular movement, who misrepresented matters by talking loud and manifesting a spirit of retaliation. The conservative sentiment, which finally assumed control, acted simply for self-defense, as individual intelligence gave them knowledge to formulate plans for mutual protection. It was expected that some of the howlers would break their pledge, as they always do when they cannot boss matters, but they constitute a small part of the business volume of Olympia. It is the bigots, the whited sepulchres, in business as well as in professions of righteousness, those people who lay a special claim to forgiveness of those who are despiteful, or who turn the left cheek when the right has been smitten. They condemn with vehement and retract without reason, while biting the tongue to repress its venom and their hand is constantly closed for a smite should occasion warrant it. It can hardly be claimed by any Tacoma business man, that she does the business with our merchants that was formerly done, and if they have the least sense of fairness and justice they can attach no blame to a proceeding that is actuated only by the fair and legitimate impulse of self-preservation.—Washington (Olympia) Standard. CURRENT COMMENT. It was a grand occasion, an impressive scene, when President Roosevelt rose to address the cowboys, mountaineers and ranchers gathered from afar and near to hear him last Sunday. With the blue skies o'er head and the grass beneath their feet, for he spoke in the open air, instinctively they were drawn closer to nature, and hearts wich already loved the president were yet more kindly inclined towards their chief executive. An atmosphere of good will pervaded the valley. The president sang when the people sang, and when he stood before them he beamed upon them a heartfelt welcome. Before he left the meeting place he shook hands with every man, woman and child present. During this hunting expedition President Roosevelt may or may not have killed as many bears as he planned, but one thing is sure—by his address and Christian manner on last Sunday he killed any feeling which may have existed with those people as to his being the right man at the head of affairs American. President's Remarks. "Friends and Neighbors: It all seems real to have a chance to come here today and say a few words to you. For a number of years I have lived where my neighbors were just such good people as these whom I see here before me. It is but true for me to say, then, that I feel thoroughly at home with you. "I cannot say how much I have enjoyed my stay here. Not only have I been treated middling well by the bears, which treatment has not been reciprocated by me, but the people have fairly outdone themselves in their hospitality. I have enjoyed so much seeing the growth and prosperity of your community. Only the other day I was speaking to the dominie here as to success and what it means. One of the best illustrations of American ideas and possibilities of success is the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN OUR PRESIDENT THEODORE T. HARRIS Grand Army men. From lieutenant general to the humblest private in the rear ranks there is one title, that is 'comrade.' So we judge the success of man as private citizen. Success from the soldier's standpoint means that a man does his duty up to the handle, whether he carried a musket or a sword. So it is in civil life—real success consists in doing one's duty in the path where one's life is laid. "Duty, remember, is doing what is right by self, family and neighbor. It is not possible for any of us to say just how much accident there is in winning the great prizes of life. There is always some accident in it. No amount of skill, perseverance or energy is sure of winning the great prize of life. Real success ocnists of bearing yourself so that your children will bless you for having done all that was in your power to bring them up to their home and state." IN MEMORY OF JEFFERSON. Whatever class or circle as to work or pleasure one has identified himself with through life, when death claims him the tribute these classes or circles pay to his memory always strongly appeals to the souls of men; not as relatives, not so dear, yet dearer in a way. But, remember, they have and still are fighting battles, in life's uneaven way, which the deceased has fought; meeting and surmounting difficulties which at one time confronted the deceased, and the wonder disappears that a tie exists which binds those of the circle yet living to the memory of the departed. So it was at the services held in New York in memory of Joseph Jefferson under the auspices of the Players' Club, in which he was the only president, besides Edwin Booth. David Bispham, a member of the Players', was the soloist. The service was especially arranged, and besides the usual Episcopalian service, it was composed of anthems and hymns. The church was crowded to the doors with prominent members of the theatrical profession. There were present representatives of the Actors' Order of Friendship, the Lotus Club and the Actors' Church Alliance. Among those in the congregation were Mr. and Mrs. Grossman, the latter the daughter of Edwin Booth, with their son and daughter; George Irving, a nephew of Washington Irving; Mme. Modjeska, Daniel Frohman and his wife, Margaret Illington; Joseph Holland and Booth Tarkington. J. M.

Two weeks in Seattle on the part of the Igorrates may not have lessened the number of canines, but it has surely silenced them. The jury in the Nan Patterson trial disagreed and have been discharged. This is the third disagreeance and she will hardly be put on trial again. Judging from a recent interview from Leigh Hunt, formerly a leading Seattle man, the Seattle spirit is getting the best of Africa, and under its direction her deserts are being converted into cotton farms. A California man is to the front with a flying machine that promises to make even the birds look to their laurels. You need not be surprised to at any time hear of a disastrous drop in the genus homo down in California. A whole lot of supposedly sick persons will regret to learn that Dr. O. V. Lawson is in jail, and that, too, despite the rejoicing of the licensed physicians, who charge their patients more for the license they have than the real good they do. J. M. Frink, along other lines in the iron dustry, then it is not only doing some business, but is also employing some men. The Washington Iron Works, at the head of which is the Hon. J. M. Frink, is doing just such a volume of business as mentioned above, and, of course, to do this it must necessarily use a large number of men, both skilled and unskilled, which, from a pay-roll standpoint, places that firm second on the list of the industries of this city, led only by the great manufacturing establishment of Moran Bros., and followed closely by the Vulean Iron Works. J. M. Frink is the father of the Washington Iron Works, and not only the father, but the instructor as well, for it has been his guiding hand from the very first day it began business, an insignificant little workshop, until the present day, that has led it successfully through periods of evolution, rising from nothing, comparatively speaking, to a mammoth establishment, employing all the way from 300 to 600 men.

"Let him that is without sin cast the first stone." During the present Russian-Japanese war the United States has learned more than one lesson by observation. Important among them, the advantages of very fast cruisers, hence we are to strengthen the efficiency of our navy by the addition of new scout cruisers. The Japanese, commonly called little brown devils, have during this war shrunk the bumps of ego on more than one national official head. More than one dog has been slain to satiate the peculiar appetites of the dark-skinned natives of Uncle Sam's possessions since their arrival in Seattle. A dog feast to the most of us is stomach-turning. The very idea is repulsive, and people who can partake of such a feast necessarily rank low in our estimation, yet what is to be thought of the supposedly civilized Americans who flock to witness the feasts. Six hundred and ten Japanese added to the population in one fell swoop seems to have about staggered the western-central Union. If these men worked in the plantations of the Hawaiian islands they hail from an American possession, and had the right to land here. Business Agent Akers claimed they violated the alien and labor law. Sooner or later the labor unions will find that their wisest plan is to open their membership doors to the Japanese.

The morning paper never gets to handle postoffice news first-handed, and the rival evening papers to the Times get it third-handed. This is so because the Seattle postoffice is under Democratic influence. The governor's and collector of customs' offices are under Republican influence, hence- Mrs. Cassie Chadwick seems to have worked wealthy men just to show how easy they could be fleeced. The Michigan banker seems to have stolen from his associates—all shrewd and sagacious men—to demonstrate to the world how much he could steal while the other fellow stood idly by looking at him do it, and that, too, without him knowing it. After all, the alleged smartest and best posted individuals are but babes in somebody else's hands. An expected forest fire law, which will prohibit the burning of slashings during the closed season, from June 1 to October 1, without special permission, will be greeted joyfully. Seattleites who annually walk the streets with smarting eyes and vision blurred, to say nothing of the many who travel through the fire slain districts, realize that the waste of timber through forest fires is amazing. INSPECTOR'S GOOD REPORT. Admiral Kempff, during the time he spent on Puget Sound, inspected all steamboats which ply from this port. The fact that but one formal complaint was filed by the inspector does credit to the owners and officers of these vessels. Seattle may justly feel proud of her officers of steamboat inspection. The entire Coast, Pacific and Atlantic, through regretting the Slocum disaster, has made improvements which show that they appreciated and profited by the same. igade Creator to become distributors of the wealth, and thereby at- and smaller concerns to the city to help bear the up. He realized that speculators do not make a great city. They may not deter its progress, but they certainly do not make it. It's the men who establish those kind of business concerns that give great numbers of men employment that build great cities, and the Washington Iron Works can therefore be pronounced a great city builder, employing, as it does, an army of men, who get wages aggregating into the thousands of dollars every week. Mr. Frink, in the management of the Washington Iron Works, is ably assisted by his five sons, whom he himself admits know as much about the business as he does, and who look after the details just as carefully as he himself could or does do. After teaching school for a few years, Mr. Frink felt like changing his business and the founding of a great industrial establishment which would employ hundreds of men seemed to appeal to him most. Perhaps the army of school children which he had daily presided over had something to do with his conclusions on the Chaps believed the thought advanced by some great men and women were but grown-up children," a good one, reason why he could not handle them just as school boys. FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1905. Items of Interest The Hoboken Tank & Storage Company has turned out the largest tank of its kind in the world. It has a capacity of 12,000 gallons, and is expected to revolutionize the molasses trade. It is the plan to transport molasses in tank wagons and cars, saving the cost of the barrels. * * * The report that Japan intends to transform the Japanese legations at Washington, London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna into fullfledged embassies, with the object of establishing Japan's status as one of the great powers and of taking a more important position in her relations with foreign nations, does not come as a surprise to many. Never was Japan so well aware of her power in the world of nations, and she will gradually make claims and present demands which she feels that her acknowledged strength justifies. * * * In speaking of the religious faith in Russia, President Witte says, of all the bitterness and despair of the lives of the ignorant, poverty-stricken Mujiks, who comprise 120,000,000 of the population of Russia, religion is in reality the only compensation. * * * An electric apparatus whereby the presence and extent of shoals of fish can be ascertained has been patented and taken out. The invention has big promises and will be of much assistance in locating fish shoals. A microphone inclosed in a water-tight case, connected with an electric battery and telephone, is lowered into the water. Just as soon as the telephone comes into contact with a shoal of fish the constant tapping of the fish against the microphone case produces a series of sounds which at once notifies the man above of the shoal. The rope by which the microphone is lowered marks the exact depth of the shoal thus found. *** Ceylon pearl fishers have found that the X-rays can be of great service to them in the way of locating pearls in unopened oysters. When the X-ray is applied to the unopened oyster it is possible to tell if it contains a pearl. If it is seen that it does not contain a pearl and it is in a purely normal and healthful state, it is at once thrown back into the sea. This not only saves time, so far as the workers are concerned, but tends greatly towards reducing the depletion of the oyster bed. \* \* \* Unless more vigorous enforcement of the law of the closed season can be had, it will take but a few more years to rid the Columbia river of salmon fish. * * * Fifty years ago the United States in point of wealth stood below half a dozen nations of the old world. Today all those nations have been entirely outdistanced. * * * For the benefit of those who fear that the coal supply of the world will be exhausted so rapidly is it being consumed-be it known that it will be many thousand years before THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN such a thing is possible. The three great coal mining countries of the world produced last year a total of 724,678,050 metric tons of coal. There are great coal beds, conveniently located whose supplies are scarcely on the market yet. There are 37 national banks in Washington.

What is more probable than that as the English called their new home "New England" and the Dutch called their new settlement "New Amsterdam," and Canada became "New France," so the Spanish explorers called their Pacific discoveries "Aragon?" Or, they may have used the word merely to tell the Indians whence they came and where their allegiance was. Oregon is not like the Indian names of the Northwest. "Aragon" would be pronounced to Carver like "Oregon" in English. The theory is one that can never be proved, as Professor Gannett says in a note to the Star, but it is the most satisfying that has ever been advanced. Dougtless if the truth were known there are many of our geographical and ethnological names that arose out of similar exercises in transferring words from one language to another. One of the commonest words in the Spanish vocabulary is "Jesus," which the traveler sees so often to his dismay on signs in Spain and Spanish-America. It is pronounced in Spanish as we pronounce "Yazoo." What is more probable than that the American "Yazoo" is derived, something as "Oregon" was derived from "Aragon," from --- the Spanish "Jesus"? It seems to us far more credible than the geological survey's explanation that "Yazoo" is an Indian name, meaning "to blow on a wind instrument." The word "Yazoo" is no more like the Indian order of "Appallachicola" and "Tallahassee" than Oregon is like "Walla Walla" or "Skamokawa."—Indianapolis Star. DRINKS OF THE NATIONS In the per capita consumption of coffee the relative rank of the countries named is: United States, 11.75 pounds per head of population; Germany, 6.65 pounds; France, 4.29 pounds; Argentina, 3.81 pounds; Chili, 1.72 pounds; Spain, 1.18 pounds; Italy, 1.18 pounds; the United Kingdom, 0.69 pound, and Russia, 0.15 pound. Of beer, the per capita consumption in the latest available year was as follows: United Kingdom, 35.42 gallons; United States, 18.28 gallons (thus exceeding Germany with her 30.77 gallons); Austria-Hungary, 20.36 gallons; United States, 18.28 gallons; France, 7.41 gallons, and Russia, 1.08 gallons. The per capita consumption of whisky and spirituous liquors is far more uniform in the countries under consideration; Austria with 3.09 gallons per capital, Hungary 2.19 gallons, and Germany 2.11 gallons, being the only countries with an annual consumption in excess of two gallons per capital; and Italy, with 0.34 gallon per capita, was the only country to fall below one gallon in its annual consumption per capita. The United States (1.48 gallons), United Kingdom (1.38 gallons), France (1.35 gallons), and Russian (1.26 gallons), differ little in their per capita consumption of distilled spirits. In wine, however, the per capita consumption varies greatly among the various countries, from a minimum of 0.39 of 1 gallon in the United Kingdom to 34.73 gallons in France, while the other countries arranged in the ascending scale stand, United States, 0.53 of 1 gallon; Germany, 2.08 gallons; Hungary, 3.75 gallons; Austria, 5.85 gallons; Portugal, 14.12 gallons; Spain, 17.82 gallons, and Italy, 28.06 gallons. When the final report of the cost of the Chapman revival committee, which gives $5,000 as the amount expended for both the Seattle and Ballard meetings, was read the many who had declared that Chapman was "simply getting rich off of the people" doubtless felt a little chagrinned. When it is remembered that all of that amount, with but small exception, was left in the city, and due appreciation given the 2,500 persons who expressed themselves willing to lead Christian lives, the meetings must seem "worth while" to even those much inclined toward ungodliness. TEES: Ete) Pa ewe Benjamin Williams, who was charged with having cut to death a man in a saloon row at Ravensdale some weeks ago, changed his plea of not guilty and plead guilty to manslaughter last Saturday and was given ten years in the penitentiary for his crime, Wil- liams has the record and reputation of having been a very quiet and peace- able citizen, but under the leadership of some one else and under the influ- ence of John Barleycorn, committed the act for which he is now paying the penalty, trying to get even with “poor white trash.” This should be a warn- ing to other colored men, who are al- ways ready with their knife, razor or gun to slash some one else of send a leaden messenger of death into their bodies. There is no more use of either a miner or the average man carrying a deadly weapon in this country for his fellow man than there is for you to pull a wagon round after you to carry home the gold you find during the day. The man who will carry such deadly weapons, even if he has the reputation of being a peaceable cit- izen, is a dangerous law breaker and should be confined in some state re- formatory on general principles. The man who will carry a gun is looking for trouble with some one who has not a gun so that he can use his with tell- ing effect without exposing himself to danger. The man who spends “two bits” for a revolver or any other kind ot deadly weapon to injure his fellow man in this country is a criminal at heart and should be arrested then and there. These deadly weapons, which are sold promiscuously by dealers are responsible for ninety-nine and nine- tenths of all the trouble that occurs between man and man. Cut these guns, knives and razors out and at- tend strictly to your business and you will never have any need in the world for them. It is always the dirty cow- ard that carries a get-even weapon. NEGRO MAY BE PARENT RACE. From the New York wiobe. About half of the white race are nothing more than Negroes with a white skin, if we are to believe a re- cent discovery made at Oxford Uni- versity. In the eighteenth century there was considerable discussion among naturalists as to whether the white man was a bleached Negro or the African a blackened white man. The weight of opinion seemed to be toward the former theory, and that x : : i ee : . . <i i . 2 ae | ges a . % ee DES) GWE m2 dink 4 bs Oe ee a ead A ‘ ; So a Pee : ER Re ’ y Lo wer es | 4 a i a 1, a a ae & : Pp q Le. \ ae a a res, 4,4 4 ie Say 4 2 i ie 4 . . . : —-y ae : ee “WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN.” the Negro was the original parent race, from which the whites eventually developed as what in science are known as sports. If this were true one would expect to find a consider- able number of whites with all, or many, ofthe negroid peculiarities, ex- cept a black skin. A revival of these ancient theories seems to indicate that such is the case to a far more star- tling degree than any one had imag- ined. As the result of an application of some new data, recently published by Oxford scientists, Prof. Karl Pear- son writes: “Thus of the whole Eng- lish population slightly more than 50 per cent. are either pure negroid or partially negroid,” while in the actual Negro race but 40 per cent. show pure “negroidness.” This, he says, appar- ently in a somewhat ironical mood, is a very remarkable, in fact, an epoch- making, discovery, which will at once “attract attention to Oxford as a cen- ter for a novel school of carniotomy and anthropology,” for it amounts to the statement that 50 per cent. of the white race are Negroes, except for their color. REMEMBERED TUSKEGEE. Mrs. Mary Hood Shaw, of Philadel phia, has bequeathed the munificert sum of $38,000 to Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The bequest is remarkable inasmuch as it is al- leged that this is the largest sum ever given by a member of our race to a race institution. It shows the grow- ing appreciation, upon the part of Afro-Americans for institutions of their own. Tuskegee is to be congrat- ulated upon its ability to inspire mem- bers of the race with such confidence in the excellent work in accomplishing as this munificent gift evidences. It is to bé hoped that others who have been blessed with wealth will remem- ber Tuskegee and like institutions— Ex. If at a recent Kansas City banquet Prof. J. Dallas Bowser did say that the Negroes appear to be retrograding socially, he was not so far wrong. Per- haps: Prof. Bowser, like a great many others who look beneath the veneer of appeatances, can see that much of our boasted social and intellectual progress is only “skin-deep” and that through our foolish vanity we are ac- tually going backward.—Omaha Enter- prise.

That the average Negro man has no appreciable respect for the women of his own race is too well known to be pointed out at this time. There are too many Methodist preachers on the order of Mac Scott, the Seattle A. M. E. preacher, sent to the penitentiary for fifteen years for seducing his little girl members, ‘to say nothing of the women of his congregation. There are too many Negro “lawyers, doctors and Indian chiefs” whose respect and ap- preciation for the women of his race never rises higher than his brutal passion. Un- less there be an improvement all along the line in this direction the Ne- gro man will himself be his awn race destroyer. Those “race men” who are looking for big jobs for the men that they may have the more money to se- duce their women folk are the most deadly enemies to their race. The greatness of any race lies in the virtue of its women, and women cannot be virtuous without the man being equal- ly so. Uncle Joe has barrels of money to loan on diamonds, watches and jewelry.

The production is very elaborate in stage setting and well cast. The story is familiar to most theatre-goers, but, like all good things, never grows tire- some. The pathos of the play appeals ‘so strongly to the "hearts of the peo- ple that the interest is never lost.

Next week “Woman Against Wom- an” will be the plat at the Third Ave- nue Theatre. This will be the fifth week of the present stock company, which is gaining in popularity with every new play. An excellent oppor- tunity will be afforded fn this play for the leading people of the company to display their talents. Miss Gordon is distinctly an emotional actress, and the lead in “Woman Against Woman” is a part exactly suited to her style of acting. Mr, Whittaker will also appear at his best as John Pressidor.

Attorney for Plaintiff. Postoffice address, No. 617 Pacific Block, Seattle, King County, Washington. Date of first publication NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The next annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held in the Palm Garden of the Grand Central Palace, New York City, August 16, 17 and 18, 1905. It is not, perhaps, saying too much to state that this meeting will bring together one of the largest and most representative bodies of colored people that has ever assembled in this country, and the present plan of the officers not only embraces the bringing together of a large representation of colored business men and women from the United States, but from the West Indian Islands and other foreign countries as well. Great preparations are already under way on the part of the New York Local Business League for the reception and entertainment of the delegates. Aside from the business that will be attended to at the meetings, the social features of the gatherings are to be made very prominent, and it is the hope that the male delegates will not only be present themselves in large numbers, but that they will bring their wives with them. Since the last meeting in Indianapolis about twenty local leagues have been organized in various parts of the country; the total number of local leagues is now considerably omre than one hundred, besides a number of state organizations. The National Organizer, Mr. Fred R. Moore, 181 Pearl street, New York City, is very anxious to keep in touch with all local leagues and to lend his services wherever needed in forming new local organizations. The strongest and most successful business men and women picked from different parts of the country will have places upon the program. THE POPE AND AFRO-AMERICANS Father John E. Burke, pastor of the Church of St. Benedict, the Moor, at the opening of a fair for the benefit of the church, showed a silver crucifix, which will sell for $5,000, to be used as a fund for the church. Father Burke spoke of the interest the Pope takes in the welfare of the Afro-Americans and the following message which his holiness directed to him on a visit to Rome: "Tell the colored people of America that I embrace them all in the charity of Christ." Well, really, the times are out of joint, and the head of the greatest Christian church has gone and out-Roosevelted Roosevelt. Just to think of his embracing all the "colored people of America," in any way, literally, or metaphorically. The Pope has thrown into our midst a most destructive firebrand—one calculated to nullify the wise teachings of Vardaman, Tillman and Poutney Bigelow, and to inspire all Afro-Americans with dreams of social equality. tI really seems that his holiness is trying to spoil all the good field hands in the western continent. As the Pope has never enjoyed the advantages of a South Carolina training, he may be somewhat excusable; but what apology can be made for Father Burke, an American citizen, for publishing such a message in the newspapers? EMIGRATION TO AFRICA. Our Atlanta correspondent notes a decadence of the movement in favor of arcial emigration to Africa. This movement has never, indeed, attained to any great vigor, for the common sense of the whole race has always condemned it as impracticable and un THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN wise, and preferred rather to "bear those ols we have than to fly to others that we know not of." We are not so ignorant, either, of the ills which would afflict us in Africa. The sections of that continent which enjoy a tolerable climate are already possessed by European powers. To the sultry and saturated atmosphere of the West Coast we have become, by nearly three centuries' absence, disaccustomed. This atmosphere would naturally and inevitably devitalize our energies and enfeeble our ambitions. In such a climate we should have to tame wildernesses and cultivate deserts. We should have to resist destruction by savage beasts and more savage men. We should have to erect civilization where civilization is impossible, or decline into barbarism. Tennyson, after a terrible denunciation of the vices of English society, nevertheless concluded that fifty years of Europe are better than a cycle of Cathay. So we, while not bating a jot of our resentment of the wrongs practiced on us here, do still submit that fifty years of America are worth a cycle of Africa.
