Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XI. NO. 52 POLITICAL POT=PIE W. H. Clark has been turned down good and hard for the deputy internal revenue collectorship at this place and Thomas Payne is to remain in the position indefinitely. "Clarky" was turned down despite the fact that he had the promise from Senator Piles himself, so goes the story, that another job would be found for Payne and he, Clark, would be given the job the 1st day of May. The above promise, Clarky declares, was made to him in the presence of all of the war horses of the "South district" and in the presence of D. B. Crocker, internal revenue collector of this district, who assented to the change. The first of May has come and gone and still Clarky is doing chores on his farm over on Vashon island, and when seen one day this week in consultation with the "big four" from the south end he was in no mood to discuss the situation, but hurriedly remarked: "There would come a reckoning of affairs some sweet day, by and by." * * * Senator Piles' promise to his King county faithful that there would be a clean sweep of the federal office holders throughout the state and those who worked for his election would be rewarded with those appointments, have fallen way short of the mark and a recount of some of the disappointments that has been the lot of Senator Piles in this connection would not be amiss. Postmaster Stewart's confirmation was not held up as Mr. Piles directed the United States senate and the president to do by telegraph the day he was elected United States senator, and then and there State Senator Tucker lost a $4,000 job, which can be said to be disappointment No.1 for the junior senator of Washington. * * * Joseph B. Lindsley, the Spokane highflyer, was sacredly promised the United States attorneyship of the new district, if he and his fellow members would stand pat for Sweeney and shift to Piles when wanted, which they not only agreed to do, but delivered the goods, but Lindsley did not get the job and is as sore as a ducked witch, which constitutes disappointment No.2 for the junior senator from Washington. State Senator Hutson was to be deputy United States attorney under Lindsley, if he too would stand pat as did Lindsley, which he did, but the attorney general had not been consulted, and when the proposition was presented to him it took him but a second to inform all concerned "there was not going to be any core," in other words no deputy would be allowed for the district. It would not be out of place to style this disappointment No.3 for the junior senator from Washington. *** After advising the faithful to select their respective federal positions W. H. Clark was first to announce his wants and the position SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1905 held by Thomas Payne was his choice. This was promised him at a pow-wow and Payne was to have a big man's job. Nothing of that nature, however, turned up for Payne and so he was compelled to hold on to what he had and Clarky was put off with another big promise if something turned up, it would surely be his. To a man up a tree this surely looks just like disappointment No.4 for the junior senator from Washington. *** Frank A. Twichell, who bled and died for "Sam Piles," decided he wanted the office which Dr. Allen P. Mitten has filled for the past eight years, deputy customs collector at Seattle. Nothing was more pleasing to his senatorship, for Mitten was a John L. Wilson man and he first of all had to walk the plank. In their enthusiasm, however, they overlooked the fact that Doc. Mitten's job had been put under civil service and to oust him charges had to be filed and sustained before the department. There was no hope of taking care of Twichell in this connection and after carefully going over the situation all agreed another sad defeat had to be credited to the "politician" and no confidence is betrayed in styling this disappointment No. 5 for the junior senator from Washington. * * * I. B. Knickerbocker, the hero of a hundred hard fought political battles, thought Fred A. Wing had been United States assayer quite long enough (there are others) and he selected that office as his reward for shouting Sam Piles, and it was promised him without hesitancy, as Wing was a bit tainted with Wilsonism, but T. Roosevelt, the mighty hunter, did not seem to be able to find an excuse for making the change, hunt as diligently as he might, and the news soon came from the national government there would be no change at the assay office in Seattle for the present. If this is not disappointment No. 6 for the junior senator from Washington then it comes dangerously near it. * * * Now, there is Jesse A. Frye, a Foster appointee, holding the United States district attorneyship, one of us is entitled to the place and the senator agreed, and he then and there announced that the man he had selected for the place was Potter Charles Sullivan, and the change would be made in May or June. Again the powers that be at Washington City intervened and now the retiring of Frye has been indefinitely postponed. From a Sullivan standpoint this would appear to be disappointment No. 7 for the junior senator from Washington. * * * If a United States senator is not elected to hunt jobs both at the capital of the nation and the capital of the state for his henchmen then what else is he good for? John Wooding therefore had himself slated by the big chief for state dairy commissioner, and Gov. Mead was given instructions to make the appointment. The governor, however, fell off into a dreaming state and in that condition he named L. Davies of Lincoln county for the place and Wooding and the big chief PRICE FIVE CENTS now realize and are willing to admit that disappointment No.8 for the junior senator from Washington has been thrown into his wigwam. * * * Though it all but broke my heart I was forced to turn Plinny Allen down for Twichell, but I have instructed "my members of the legislature" to pass a new state printing bill and this place I will give to Plin, which will be worth more to him than going to the legislature. The bill was passed, but again one Albert E. Mead got mixed in his instructions and C. W. Gorham was named instead of Plin. There is no disguising the fact that this constitutes disappointment No. 9 for the junior senator from Washington. * * * Because Congressman Humphrey refused to become a party to the parceling out of jobs over which he had no control immediate political extermination was put on cold storage for him and the "new senator" gave notice that "one Will E. Humphrey would be denounced from every political rostrum in King county." The aftermath of this threat is a complete backdown and Humphrey is to be let severely alone. We may be mistaken, but it occurs to us that we would not be far wrong in styling this disappointment No.10 for the junior senator from Washington. * * * We all put our shoulders to the wheel and by our united efforts succeeded in electing you to the United States senate, the highest office in the gift of the citizens of any state, and we feel that you should not now be active in opposing what we consider a public policy, comes from Mr. Piles' home guard, the Beacon Hill Club. "If I am to be criticised and be made the victim of character assassins and not be allowed to practice my chosen profession as suits me best, then I will move away," retorts the senator. What, move away from dear old Seattle and become a resident of Tacoma or Everett—sacrilige, treachery, burning shame. What a setback for the Seattle spirit that expended thousands of dollars in making it possible for Seattle to have a senator. Are we not justified in pronouncing this disappointment No.11 for the junior senator from Washington? * * * And now after encountering so many crushing disappointments one is reminded of the repeated boasts of the junior senator from Washington soon after he was elected to the effect that he would remain a member of the senate for "twenty-four years," so well had he fortified himself in the political arena. If in the face of so many rebuffs he is able to even succeed himself some great political hedging on his part must be done and should he fail in that one and all must agree with the Pie-maker that it would be disappointment No.12 for the junior senator from Washington and of all this would prove the disappointment of disappointments.

It is to the interest of the women of this city to now take hold of the matter and see that the price of electricity is cheapened, and that it be brought down within the reach of all. This city owns its own plant, and the citizens, by united effort, can control the plant for their own use and benefit. The comfort will be so great that when once it is brought within the reach of persons, they will not do without it. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The city can use it to propel ‘its street cars and for manufacturing purposes. In fact, the general use of electricity will increase manufacturing, will cheapen transportation, will injure the gas trust, will solve the prob- lem of cheap light, cheap heat, cheap fuel and cheap transportation. Now is the time for the citizens to commence to agitate and unite to control their water plant, their elec-, trie plant, and to get hold of the transporta- tion plant and the telephone plant. To see all these electrical appliances, all you will have to do is to go to the Port- land fair and examine them. You can even go to the headquarters of the electric com- pany near the Hotel Grand, and see them now. All that is necessary is to administer the Seattle electric plant so as to bring it down and let it be managed for the people and by the people. There is no use in pay- ing foreign corporations a large profit and allow them to send the money away from home when it can be retained here and made to benefit the people.

Do you respect the majesty of the law? Chicago's bluebeard is in a fair way of soon becoming a blackbird by the rope route. County taxes in this state become delinquent after next Monday. Have you overlooked that? If there is a "brewery strike" on in Seattle no one save those who struck know anything about it. Senator Piles threatens to leave Seattle. Well, Sam, if you go, please take "Fixer" Smith with you. Eastern Washington in particular and the whole state in general loses a most worthy citizen in the death of Senator Scott Russell. If Uncle Sam's troops and ditch diggers are attacked by General Yellowfever there is danger of a demoralized retreat from the canal zone. Sam H. Piles may have his shortcomings as a United States senator, but he seems to want it distinctly understood that he is still something on a stick as a "fixing lawyer." Jimmy Morrison, formerly of "Morrison's Place," is both mayor and chief of police at Tonopah, the Nevada gold fields. There is hardly any doubt but that he maintains a pretty wide open town. The Olympian has just had a birthday. Notwithstanding its hundred and one trying vicisitudes of the past it perhaps never had a birthday before amid such a galaxy of hybred hyenas. We suspect it costs the Seattle Electric Company of this city almost as much to get things "fixed" as it would to pay liberal damages to every one who sues that company in our courts. The regular summer run of the observation coach "Seeing Seattle" has begun its usual runs showing that it is the time of year for such, but that's about the only new advance sign that the summer time is here that we have at present. Hugh pictures of clowns standing on their heads and elephants ringing bells under glaring head lines announcing the coming of Norris & Rowe's greater circus has been followed by the real show itself. And regardless of the fact that we were having March's weather in May, the Dog and Pony Show, our first circus of the season has actually been and gone. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN There has been talk of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition going into the hands of a receiver. It seems that the corporation wished to sell tickets before rules governing their issuance were approved by the Lewis and Clark State Commission. The disagreement was but in keeping with the tendency of the times for but few movements are made in commissions, lodges, orders and such organizations in many instances including even churches, but what every act of power or honor is hotly contested. One is prepared to hear many and varied reports from Butte, Montana, but that concerning Miles Fuller, aged 65, who is to be hanged for the murder of William Gallihan, tells of a hardened conscience, quite out of the ordinary. The two quarreled and for more than twenty years Fuller darkened his heart by cherishing the grudge. How it weakened him when his years would otherwise have brought him strength is shown by the fact that after firing he ran up and plunged a knife into his dying enemy. While President Roosevelt was killing bears in Colorado, moths are said to have ruined as many choice pelts as he added to his stock by the recent hunt. A liberal supply of moth balls were sprinkled among the skins which now bear the muchly dreaded bald spots. If moths ever disliked moth balls to any great extent they have overcome it and so far as tobacco, the next best thing for their extinction is concerned, they grow fat on it. It is now up to somebody to discover a sure thing for killing moths. WOULD REDEEM THEIR STATE. The state of Mississippi has for many years suffered from the race issue in its acutest and most paralyzing form. The Negro has been an object of hatred and attack because he was a Negro. Whenever a mob of white ruffians, inflamed with drink and angered by some real or fancied misconduct that could be laid at a black man's door, set out to find a victim, the result was likely to be an atrocity presenting features of brutal horror that shocked the entire country. The effect of this state of things has been to retard progress and make the state one of the most backward in development. New blood has been kept away; capital, which loves the land of order and justice, has shrunk from the work of exploiting vast latent resources, and the commonwealth as a whole has had no part in even the leisurely march of progress which the other Southern states, late, but with determination, have taken up. Mississippi has become a byword for lawless hoodlumism and industrial stagnation. From this slough of despond the more thoughtful Mississippians are uniting in an effort to rescue their state. With true instinct they have gone straight to the core of the evil—the disregard of human life and of public law, which has so long been a curse to their community. They hope to make Mississippi ready for better things by first making it safe for the workingman, white or black, who is industrious and law-abiding, to live there. FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1905 A dispatch to the New York Tribune describes the organization and performance of the Law and Order League in Mississippi, which, working through the marshals of the federal courts, is rounding up and bringing to trial at Jackson all the 350 men who have been indicted for white cap outrages during the last few years. The officers of the law have also collected more than 400 witnesses, and an ample armed force is reported to be at hand to block any attempt at rescue or interference with the work of the court. Many of the indicted persons are said to be of high social standing, some of them members of the legislature, others holding state and county offices. The detectives declare that they have evidence which will bring about the hanging of those who have disgraced the good name of the state. The trials will occupy a month. The outcome will be watched with interest all over the country, and every American who wishes well to the South will bid Godspeed to this movement as the beginning of a new regime in Mississippi. Other states, North and South, are not guiltless in the matter of mob violence, and those in which the rule of law has been subordinated to the reign of ignorant passion and prejudice may well take a lesson from the determined Mississippians who are bent on redeeming their state. The editor of The Republican has always maintained that the white folk of Mississippi were far more heathen than the black folk, and now that the better thinking white folk of the state are publicly admitting the same it gives us the right to rise to remark, "We told you so." The state is largely made up of bandits and cut-throats, who when they have killed or driven out the Negroes, will turn as viciously on those whites who do not believe as they do. THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW. In whatever language the word "Law" is expressed, there is no other word of such tremendous significance. The Laws of States and communities—human Laws—although they are subject to change to meet new conditions of growth and development, are nevertheless the crystallization of the highest wisdom and experience and tradition, and the law-abiding citizen is the respected member of his community, and the law-breaking citizen is the outcast, an element of danger and menace. The Laws of Life, the Laws of Nature Divine Laws—know no change. When the scroll of the creator's purposes was written at the beginning of time, everything was set down in the form of a Law immutable, from which nothing could be added and nothing taken away. And each Law contained within itself an angel and a devil. The one to reward and the other to punish. And it was decreed that as the children of the earth discovered a law they should be given dominion over the forces to which it related. That they might harness and direct that force for their own use and the development of the world. But it was decreed also that the angel and the devil should always remain to reward the use and punish the abuse.

All through the ages the keenest intellects of the world have dug and delved in the shadowy regions of scientific research, and at long intervals a so-called new law has been brought to the surface and the dis- covery of this law has marked an era in the world’s progress.—Selected. Between whites and blacks in Chicago last Sunday a miniature riot was precipitated by hot heads, which resulted in the death of one black man and the serious, if not fatal, wounding of one white man and the injuring of quite a number of others on both sides and had not cool heads thrown them- selves into the breach a great deal of dam- age would have been done. But amid that great life and death struggle the Majesty of the Law became the dominant spirit and through it peace and quiet was soon brought out of the chaos. Although the row was be- tween whites and blacks a colored policeman rushed to the scene of the disturbance but the white leader, believing that he had come to help his black brethren, opened fire on him. The fire was returned and the aggres- sor fell pierced with four bullets from the pistol of the officer of the law. The Negro officer was for neither side; he ran there to uphold the Majesty of the Law and as his man fell he rushed to his side lest the en- raged blacks do him great harm, which they were threatening to do, and with the aid of three other colored men took the wounded man into a building and defied the mob of Negroes, who stormed it and demanded the body of the instigator of the riot that sum- mary vengeance could be imposed upon him, but the brave black officer of the law defied them and with drawn guns threatened to shoot the first man that laid violent hands on the wounded man. That’s observing the Majesty of the Law as should all patriots. The man, whether white or black, who al- lows himself to be influenced by a mob is no less a heathen than the Hottentot in the heart of Africa, No criminal should be pro- teeted by any one, even though he be a relative and under no circumstances because he is of the same race of people as the criminal. Let the Majesty of the Law be carried out in every particular and then we can all sing, ‘‘My country ’tis.of thee, sweet land of liberty.’” Some rather fastidious white citizens of Bell, a Los Angeles suburb, have agreed among themselves to make a forfeit of $500 if any one of them sells real estate to either a full blood Negro or a mulatto. Whereupon a newspaper edited by a Negro rises to re- mark, ‘‘Certainly no Negro is degenerate enough to live among such a class of semi- heathens without cost, let alone to buy a home among them,’’ and the editor is not far wrong. For Negroes in the United States or any other distinct race, class or nationality, except the whites, to hurd to- gether in any great numbers in one com- munity means a depreciation of the prop- erty in such community from a white man’s standpoint, and not only from a white man’s standpoint, but from a black man’s stand- point as well. By this we mean to say, the colonization on the part of the Negro, the Jew, the Irish, the Italian or any Olea THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN what the whites of this country are pleased to term ‘‘inferior races’’ will not improve their moral conditions. There is no need of trying to establish an Africa, a Jerusalem, a Cork, a Scandinavia or an any other old world locality in the. United States. If you have made up your mind to live in this country you should become dis- tinetively American. On the other hand, it shows brutalism beyond description, as well as ignorance far more pronounced on the part of the whites to refuse to sell a person a home against whose character and deportment there is no more than against their own just because such a person was created a little different than were they. Good people, whether black or white, Jew or Gentile, deserve good treatment by the dominant race of any country, and the domi- nant race not doing it shows itself after all to be the real heathen. The Negro, able to purchase among the most wealthy and meet all the local requirements as to the value of the buildings erected on the property pur- chased should be encouraged by the Van- derbilts, Goulds, Astors or any other Amer- ican citizen their financial standing to the contrary notwithstanding; for such a Negro is demonstrating to the world that the teach- ings of the white man are producing good effects on the race to which he belongs. The shady faced American is deserving of all the rights and privileges enjoyed by the pale- faced American, and, if the deserving ones are denied that, then the white man admits he is practicing and preaching a lie in that he is civilizing, refining and Christianizing the so-called inferior races. > “They’re Off!’ 3 At The 3 Saturday, : _ May 27 } And Continuing Until July19 3 Seana ® } Six Races Daily, Rain or Shine © Admission 50c. 8 ) Including grand stand.

Consolidation of Various Sects Would Make for Race-Unity. To the Editor of the New York Age: The Age's reproduction of the Richmond Planet's comment upon the prejudice of the white Northern Presbyterian Church, and the Planet's suggestion of the probable organization of an independent Afro-American Presbyterian Church, echoes a sentiment not alien to some Negro Presbyters. But it would be very unwise to organize a separate colored Presbyterian church, because the colored man's dogged belief in religion on one hand and the white man's prejudice to him on the other are to him an upper and nether mill-stone. If the Negro race, like the Jews, Mohammedans or Shintoists, had a religion that would unify the race sentiment, that would create and keep alive a race-consciousness; and that would be of some service in helping to organize the race into one grand phalanx, then of such would be the Negro's Kingdom of God. In this country we have two big Negro churches, the A. M. E. Zion and the A. M. E., known also as the Bethel Church. There is no reasonable reason why these two splendid organizations should not unite into one organic union. They look alike to me. Then, after they shall have organized, forming one big denomination, they could throw out their receptors and take in the Colored Baptist, Colored M. E., Union M. E., Colored Presbyterian and Colored Congregational, making all of them an integral part of this one big Negro ecclesiastical organization. As it is now the various kinds of religions of the colored man produce in the Afro-American believer a race consciousness which is illustrated by the fabled men who sprang from the dragon's teeth sown by Cadmus. Into South Africa went the great A. M. E. Church, established missions, ordained native deacons and elders and taught those deluded African Zulu and Hottentot natives a race consciousness—so much so, that the natives began falling away from the white man's church and joining the African M. E. Church. Then, Lord Milner "stood on his head, spat seventeen times backward" and sent out the word that those American Negroes (Bishop Turner's men, the preachers) were teaching sedition and that the A. M. E. Church was a "religio-political" organization. It took all the eloquence of Hon. Joseph H. Choate and Bishop Derrick to convince the British government that the A. M. E. Church was as harmless as a dove. (See the "Nineteenth Century" for May, 1904; also, the New York Sun for June 29, 1904.) Instead, therefore, of the Colored Presbyterians organizing a separate church along race lines, they should, if the dictates of their conscience lead them in that direction, identify themselves with already existing denominations, such as the great Bethel or Wesleyan churches. Then, as The New York Age suggests, the race would not need to build any more churches. Yes sir, amen to The Age's "Enough Churches." Sincerely MANNA FUNNACHI. New York, May 10, 1905.

"Robert Emmet," the Irish drama at the Third Avenue Theatre this week, is one of the old type of plays which always pleases. Mr. Verner's play is up to the standard of Irish melodrama, which has lived for so many years on the American stage and seems never to grow old. Large and enthusiastic audiences have been in attendance each night at the popular up-town theatre. The play will continue throughout the week, with the usual Saturday matinee. Next week's production will close the present engagement of the Daniel Stock Company, presenting "The Clay Baker," one of the best dramas of modern times. The play was written for Mr. Mong, who will appear in the title role, a character nicely suited to his style of acting. The theme of the play is similar in nature to "The Middle Man," Mr. E. S. Willard's great production. Mr. Daniel's stock company has become very popular with Third Avenue Theatre goers and the last week of its stay will doubtless prove to be a banner one. NAT GOODWIN. Nat Goodwin, America's foremost comedian, has been induced to prolong his engagement at the Grand until Sunday night, when he will give his greatest play, "An American Citizen." Saturday afternoon he will play "The Usurper," and Saturday night "A Gilded Fool." There has been an urgent and general request for "An American Citizen." YSAYE. Ysaye, the eminent violin virtuoso, will be heard in concert at the Grand next Thursday evening, and the event will be one of the most notable in nearby musical history. The artist will doubtless be greeted by a very large and fashionable audience. "PARSIFAL." Next Friday and Saturday and Saturday matinee at the Grand, Richard Wagner's masterpiece, "Parsifal," will be given in motofic pictographs, with descriptive lecture, songs and music, assisted by Miss Clary, the famous singer, already heard here, and an enlarged orchestra. Popular prices will prevail. The Portland papers pronounced the entertainment most pleasing. WAS IN THE NAVY. A Negro exhorter, says the Moberly, Mo., Democrat, shouted during a revival: "Come up and jine de ahmy ob de Lohd." "Ah done jined," replied one of the congregation. "What'd yo jine?" asked the exhorter. "In de Baptist Church." "Why, chile," said the exhorter, "yo aint in de ahmy; you'e in de navy." 50 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS &C.
