historical society APR 29 1952 LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON REPUBLICAN SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1905 PRICE FIVE CENTS PAL OWNERSHIP THE SLOGAN MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP THE SLOGAN MORTGAGE.—In municipal ownership, the whole city is not mortgaged; the taxes are not increased; but the franchises of the works are mortgaged, and the operating expenses and payment for the franchises are all paid out of the income from the franchises. In purchasing the street car system and the telephone systems, there will be no mortgage and no increase of taxes upon the city generally; but the street car franchises will be mortgaged and the telephone franchises mortgaged to pay the expenses and purchase price; when paid, the profits will belong to the city. It will save to this city per year, at the present rate, more than $2,000,000, and in the near future, perhaps double that sum, all of which will remain in Seattle and furnish the money to carry on business and build up the city and surrounding country. But if the blood is taken from Seattle at the rate of two or three million dollars per year and shipped away, it will keep us in an exhausted condition. POPULISM AND SOCIALISM. If it is Populism and Socialism to indorse the act of March 17, 1897, passed by the Populist legislature, then the Republican legislature of 1905 went the full length when it re-enacted the first section of the act of March 17, 1897, with additional powers, which act was approved on March 11, 1905, and is now in force. The Republicans are now estopped to claim that providing for the condemnation, purchase, construction, ownership and operation of street railways is not Republican doctrine; Laws 1905, Chap. 159. House Bill No. 276. WILL ENCOMPASS THE WORLD.-The people of the world are becoming enthusiastic for municipal ownership of public utilities. Denver, Colorado, has a red-hot fight on hand now in favor of municipal ownership of street railways. Chicago has voted in favor of owning its own transportation system, and the private owner of street car lines has seen the handwriting on the wall and has offered to sell out cheap to the city, as no more franchises can be secured by it or them. In Ontario, the city of St. Thomas owns and operates its own street railway within its corporate limits. In Canada, Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, West Mount, Montreal, Calgary and Kingston are all agitating the municipal ownership of public utilities, and within the next few years, all of the cities of Canada will have municipal ownership of public utilities. GREAT BRITAIN. Ninety-nine municipalities own their own street railways; 240 own their own gas works; 931 their water works; 181 their electric light works. SEATTLE.—Seattle cannot afford to allow private corporations to fatten off of the profits made in the private ownership of the public utilities. If the street car system and the telephone systems can take from the pockets of the peolpe, as profits, at this time, near $2,000,000, then when the city has a population of 1,000,000 inhabitants, they will take five times that sum. You may talk about your Lake Washington canal and your Alaska gold, but when it comes to taking from the people the enormous sums of money that is now being taken and will be taken and shipped east, it is perfectly astonishing. The only salvation or this city is to immediately purchase, condemn or build street car lines, and furnish to the people transportation, telephone service, water and light at the least possible cost. This city cannot stand back when all the civilized world has realized the necessity of municipal ownership. There is no argument in saying to put it off to some other time. Now is the time. The longer it is put off, the more it will cost the people to get it back. The people now have given away their franchises, and it will cost them a large sum of money to get them back. If managed rightly, the public utilities can be owned by the city, and the Lake Washington canal can be built by the people of this city, and all of them be paid for within the next ten years for less than the net profits made by the private ownership of public utilities. SWITZERLAND.—Nearly all of the telephone systems are owned by the municipalities. In Germany, Wurtemberg Bavaria, Bulgaria, and some of the Australian states, all telephones are owned by the public. In Norway and Sweden most of the telephone systems are owned by the municipalities. Holland, Amsterdam and Rotterdam secured franchises for municipal plants. In France the telephones are owned by the government. In Denmark telephones owned by the government. In Trondhjem, Norway, the average rental of the telephone is $13.25 per phone per year; subscribers speak to eleven towns within a radius of 50 miles for five minutes for 5 cents; Stockholm, $20 per phone, communication within a radius of 43 miles; Duchy of Luxemburg, 44x30, uniform yearly charge $16 per phone, and each subscriber can talk all over the duchy; Switzerland, $8 per phone, plus 1 cent for each call; Zurich and other cities, $15 per phone per year; Sweden, the average rate is $10 per phone per year. If in the countries mentioned telephones can be furnished so cheaply, why is it that we are required to pay $6 for an ordinary office phone and such high rates on communicating on long distance phones? Why allow the telephone companies to take from this city $500,000 pear year and send it east when we need the money here just the same as we need the blood in the body to sustain life? Why pay tribute and great profits to foreigners when we need the money at home? If this city and county increases in population as we expect it will increase within the next thirty years, the private owners of public utilities, if allowed to hold them during that time, will take in net profits from this city not less than $100,000,000. It staggers us to think of $300,000,000 being expended in building the Panama Canal, yet, in the next thirty years, at the present rate of profit being gathered in by the private owners of the public utilities, we will have given away one-third enough money with which to construct the Panama Canal. It is no wonder that the people of other countries and other cities have become alarmed at the greed and avarice of private corporations and have resolved to own the public utilities. Did you ever think that the saving of $100 per year for each family for thirty years would mean, with 6 per cent compound interest, more than $5,000? You owe it to your children and your children's children to save for them the enormous leak that is now going on. You will meet with opposition. Private corporations will have strikers, clackers, hired servants, rustlers and WATER WORKS.—Nine towns in State of Illinois own their own water works and furnish water to the citizens from $4 to $6 per year to the family, while in Seattle the cost, under the present management, is $15 per year. Yet there is no reason why water cannot be furnished cheaper in Seattle than in any other city in the world. ELECTRIC LIGHT.—In 18 cities of the United States owning their own electric light plants, the arc lights have been reduced 50 per cent, so that the arc light that in Chicago cost from $105 to $125 per year, only costs on an average of $50 per year. Seattle can multiply the power of its electric light plant over and over again as it comes down the Cascade Mountains. The power is unlimited and inexhaustible, and can be furnished cheaper than in any other city in the world. GAS. Under private ownership, gas is furnished to the people of Seattle at $1 per thousand feet, but in all the municipalities owning their own gas works, in this and foreign countries, gas is furnished on an average of 50 cents per thousand feet. --- VOL.

Russia seems to see trouble even in peace. * * * Municipal ownership is in the air, not as an experiment, but as a genuine reality. * * * White supremacy has received an awful jolt in the Far East, which must be very annoying to Tillman and Vardeman. * * * Gaynor and Green, two truant sons of Uncle Sam, who are temporarily residing in Canada, do not look with favor on the "protecting folds" of Old Glory. * * * Manual training among the young Negroes of the country is a splendid thing, and, in fact, the ideal education for the young Negro, but there should at least be some exceptions to the rule. * * * A move is on foot to flood the South with Italian cotton farmhands. Good thing, push it along. Now, if the Negro will just scatter all over the United States, a long step toward the settling of the much discussed race question in this country will have been taken. *** Report has it that Russia has a larger proportion of blind people than any other European country; two out of every 1,000 are sightless. This comes as a revelation, for the opinion had grown that only two out of every 1,000 Russians who had eyes at all actually saw. * * * Dr. William Osler has obtained the house of the late Max Muller at Oxford, where it is said he settled during the month of May. Now, it is hoped that Dr. Osler will go way back in his house, sit down and carefully avoid expressing any opinion as to how long one ought expect to follow the walks of men before going to the spiritual plane. * * * The word Dago, now generally applied to Italians all over the United States, originated in Louisiana, where it at first denoted those of Spanish birth or parentage, but it was generally extended so as to apply to Italians and Portuguese also. It is undoubtedly a corruption of Diego (James), a common name among Spaniards, St. Diego being their patron saint. *** A Munich professor has invented a remarkable sick-room clock. When a button is pressed, an electric lamp behind the dial throws the shadow of the hours and hands, magnified, upon the ceiling, so that invalids can see it from their beds without craning their necks. Now if the professor will only invent an alarm clock which will manifest the rising hour on the mind of the hired girl without awakening every other person in without THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the house, he will have greatly benefited two suffering classes of people. * * * There is no accounting for the way man's mind runneth. In the North the progressive(?) wish to dam Niagara Falls and in time materially effect the fall, if not the flow of its waters, while, on the other hand, the progressive(?) of the South wish to drain the Florida Everglades with their 3,000,000 acres of highly fertile and richly timbered soil, by making a canal wide and deep enough for the passage of large freight and passenger boats across the state. * * * It is stated that a Paris chemist has succeeded in producing a passable artificial imitation of a hen's egg. The shell is made with a blow-pipe from a moist combination of lime and bismuth. The white of the egg is made of sulphur carbon and beef fat and the yolk is composed of a mixture of beef blood and magnesia colored with chrome yellow. If the chemist can only produce chickens after subjecting these eggs to the required amount of heat in a down-to-date incubator, then hen and rooster may lock arms and follow in the wake of the horse and the mule, while we burn our chicken houses and invest in chemical apparati. * * * James C. Mitchell, who invented a new smokeless powder, had a rather unusual way of advertising it. While making some experiments with the powder he tore off his left arm and otherwise badly lascerated his body. All of his wounds healed, however, without any pus forming, which proved the powder to be antiseptic. The United States government is now preparing to test thoroughly the antiseptic qualities of the smokeless powder, and if it stands the test, J. C. Mitchell has struck luck, his lost arm notwithstanding. The explosion which deprived him of his arm, however, was accidental. * * * General Booth of the Salvation Army has issued a call to prayer for the restoration of peace between Russian and Japan. There was once a woman whose hubsand had subjected her to gross indignities for several years. Finally she went to a lawyer and asked him to secure a divorce for her. "Madam," said the lawyer, "I always advise prayer in case of family troubles—good family prayer." "Well," said the would-be client, "that may work in some cases, but my husband is past being reached by prayer." There may be a similarity between this instance and the issue between Japan and Russia. WHAT THE WORLD WANTS. Men who cannot be bought. Men whose word is their bond.

POLITICAL POT=PIE The late election in Portland, Oregon, resulted in a crushing defeat for the Republican candidate for mayor. His defeat was by no means due to his political faith, but solely to the moral complexion of his administration for the past two years, during which time he has been mayor of Portland, he having been elected to the place by a tidal wave. Municipal ownership did not play an active part in the campaign, but it materially added to Mayor Williams defeat. The people all over the country are slowly but surely coming to the conclusion that the corporations are in control of the political machine among the Republicans and there is a decided opposition to corporate influence in politics just now and that accounts for Chicago and other towns in the East going head over heels for Democracy in their recent municipal elections and also of Spokane in this state electing Floyd Daggett, a Democrat, mayor over a firt class Republican. It helped to defeat the Republican candidate in Portland last Monday and it will cut a big swath in the municipal politics of Seattle next spring and, perhaps, defeat the candidate that, either silently or openly, opposes the measure. There is no doubt of the fact but that it was the municipal ownership idea coupled with government ownership of public utilities that swept Theodore Roosevelt into the presidential chair at the last general election. The issue is in the air and Republicans as well as Democrats had better give it a listening ear as well as an attentive one. * * * It is currently reported that A. C. Rundle, who is at present a clerk in the office of the King county treasurer, is an applicant for assistant dairy commissioner. Rundle may be able to land the plum, but the Pie-maker would suggest to him that he fortify himself on all sides before going into the fight. * * * Hon. W. H. Clark, the Vashon member of the house of representatives of the Ninth legislature, it is claimed, has been provided for by Senator Piles and will take office in another month more. Just where he will land is still a secret, but Clarky is certain that he will land. * * * "No more King county politics for me," said George W. Jeffries, who was a member of the Eighth legislature from the Forty-fifth representative district. "I have just returned for a three weeks stay in the city with my family from Tonnepah, the mining fields, and I am well satisfied with my change. Yes, there was something of a death roll scare in the district some time ago, but that has all blown over. Men came there and did not take care of themselves and they paid the penalty of their recklessness with their lives. The nights are very cold down there and fellows would get boozed up and then go out and expose themselves in the night air and as a result, they would be subjects for the undertaker in a few days thereafter. The place is a rich one and a whole lot of fellows are going to do well. , "I am off for Europe, and for an indefinite period, so far as I now know," said Senator John L. Wilson, last Friday prior to leaving for the East, Saturday, where he will sail for Europe June 17th. "Say for me that I have no interest in who is appointed to the various places at the disposal of Gov. Mead or at the disposal of Senator Piles. I have already said, my stay in Europe is indefinite, but when I do return it will be to only run the Post-Intelligencer and not to either run or try to run the politics of this state. To be sure I will be interested in who is sent to the senate and who is nominated for the various offices of the state, but not any more so than any other good American citizen, and I assure you, not to the extent of endeavoring to build up a political machine in my or any one else's behalf." When questioned as to a choice for a mayoralty nominee for Seattle, Mr. Wilson shrugged his shoulders and said: "I hope a good man will be nominated for the place by the Republicans. Mayor Ballinger has made an excellent official and his policy should be carried out by his successor. Now that we have a clean decent town from a moral standpoint, let's keep it so. If there are any aspirants for the nomination of mayor I am not aware of the fact further than what I have seen in the papers. I am not prepared to say what man in the city that would make an ideal candidate at this writing. In fact if I were called upon to name a man I do not believe I would have any preference. I have had a long political THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN * * * run in this state and in the future I propose to take a long peaceful rest." There is not the slightest probability of ex-Gov. John H. McGraw being named as one of the railroad commissioners of this state for the governor has absolutely refused to consider the proposition for a single minute. When a messenger from Gov. Mead informed Gov. McGraw that he could have the appointment if he would accept it, the messenger was given to understand in very plain English that under no circumstances would he consider the matter. "I am no longer looking for political preferment," came from Gov. McGraw not long since, "and I desire it understood at this time that I would accept no appointment of any class or nature that might be offered me by an executive." "In event Gov. McGraw does not accept then get from him some expression as to what man from King county, in his opinion, would be the best suited for the place," was a subsequent instruction of Gov. Mead. On being asked the question Gov. McGraw replied: "As to what man is the best suited I am not prepared to say, but C. J. Smith I would select for the place, had I the appointing power. When approached Mr. Smith refused to favorably consider the appointment, pleading as an excuse other business more urgent. This leaves the matter up to Gov. Mead and he seems to move slowly in making known his choice. Some one has said: "to hesitate is to lose," hence Gov. Mead had better make a selection and not look too much to the political outcome. NOTICES? * * * According to estimate of the census bureau, the United States has 82,518,000 inhabitants in 1905, as compared with 76,303,000 in 1900, these figures being restricted in each case to the contiguous parts of the country. As this allows for a gain of only about 12,000,000 in the decade ending with 1910, compared with an increase of 13,000,000 in the ten years closing with 1900, the estimate is very conservative, considering the heavy volume of immigration. The United States is by far the largest of all civilized nations except Russia, which has about 130,000,000 inhabitants. The German empire has 56,000,000, Austria-Hungary, 47,000,000, Japan 47,000,000, the United Kingdom 42,000,000, France 38,000,000, Italy 32,000,000, but she does not count in a calcula- PERSONAL. Miss Georgetta Selby received June 7th from 8 p. m. to 11 p. m. in honor of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Belcher, who set sail on the matrimonial sea June 1st. Dainty refreshments were served and the happy couple were made even more happy by those present. Mrs. Minnie Bryan, daughter of Judge Gideon S. Bailey, died at the Wayside Mission last Tuesday, after a protracted illness. She will be buried from the Bonney-Watson undertaking parlors Sunday at 1 p. m., Rev. A. J. Woodward officiating. Mr. J. P. Ball is building a splendid new home on his Twenty-second Avenue property. He hopes to have his family with him in August. The many friends of Mr. E. H. Holmes, of Spokane, will be pleased to learn that he has a permanent position in the Washington building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Mr. J. E. Hawkins has returned from the Hot Springs. He is still a little unsteady from his rheumatic troubles, but much improved. Mrs. Aurora Grose left for Portland a few days ago, where she expects to demonstrate for a breakfast food concern. AT THE THEATRES Although it is summer time and people are seeking outdoor amusements, the Third Avenue Theater has been crowded during the entire week with large and enthusiastic audiences to witness the new company that Manager Russell brought from New York and Mr. Taylor's spendil and strenuous play, "Escaped From the Harem," which runs until Saturday night, and possesses peculiar qualities not found in any other dramatic offering seen here. The individual members of the company scored a success at the opening performance, which has proved a valuable advertisement throughout the week. Starting next Sunday afternoon, for the second week's offering they will give a big production of what is said to be Mr. Taylor's masterpiece, "Queen of the Highway." The play tells a splendid story of heart interest and is laid in the most romantic environment and atmosphere. The play will be sure to score an unqualified success, as it possesses so many pleasing attributes that, like its pre- THE LARGEST CIVILIZED NATION. * * * decessor of this week, it becomes a living advertisement in itself. Seattle theatergoers are to be congratulated on having this company for the summer. BARNEY BERNARD. Barney Bernard, the well-known actor, will be seen at the Grand next Friday and Saturday, including a matinee on the latter day, in the new Cottrell comedy, "The Financier." Of the production the San Francisco correspondent of the Dramatic Mirror says: "At the Majestic Barney Bernard, in 'The Financier,' has been a big drawing card. He has always been a favorite here and has won a big reception in the play written especially for him by Harry D. Cottrell. The play is written along the lines of 'The Auctioneer,' and the author's work is very creditable. The comedy is very keen and never low or ordinary. The pathetic side of the play is also well written, and, all in all, the piece should prove most successful. "Mr. Bernard gave a clever portrayal of the Hebrew character and received a great ovation upon his appearance, and many curtain calls at the end of the performance." The sale of seats will start Wednesday. Week after next Kolb and Dill and their big burlesque company will play a limited engagement at the Grand. Following them will come the charming actress, Bertha Creighton, in the spirited play of the Revolution, "A Romance of '76." AT THE MEADOWS. In spite of the somewhat adverse racing weather recently experienced, large crowds have been in daily attendance at the Meadows during the past week, a large proportion of which were members of the fair sex, and as there was a glowing wood fire burning cheerily in the clubhouse, they were as comfortable there as they woul be in their own boudoirs, and the brisk ride home sufficed to bring roses to their cheeks and an increased appetite for their sport loving propensities. The Ladies' Plate was decided during a severe rainstorm, and while this tion of this sort. Owing to the rapid growth of the United States, the English language is now spoken by more persons than use any other civilized tongue. Charles V. said he spoke German to his horse, French to men, Italian to his lady friends, and Spanish to God. In his days, three and a half centuries ago, Spain was a land on which the sun never set, England was only a small spot on the map, and the English language held only a minor place in the civilized tongues. Today 130,000,000 of people speak English, 100,000,000 speak Russian (for not all the people of the empire talk the national tongue), 75,000,000 use German, 70,000,000 employ Spanish, including the inhabitants of the Latin-American countries, and 40,000,000 speak French. Moreover, the lead for English is rapidly lengthening. Nearly two-thirds of all the militated in a large measure from the enjoyment of the sightseers, as the colors worn by the riders had become so blurred and indistinct, still the victory of Equorum Rex was a popular one. The closest race of the week was on Tueslay between Bellona and Syphon Girl, the former just gaining the decision by a scant nose. This young lady, for Bellona is only two years old, was formerly owned by W. O. Macdonough, the young California millionaire, who abtained world-wide notority by his seeming extravagant purchase of the great English racehorse Ormonde for the then unprecedented price of $150,000.

In 1776 Benjamin Franklin estimated that the United States would double in population every 25 years, and for about three-quarters of a century this rate of increase was kept up. But increasing years bring a decreased rate of growth to nations. The Civil War, too, checked the population expansion. At the present rate of growth the country doubles every 30 years. This would mean a population of 150,000,000 in 1930, and 300,000,000 by 1960 or 1970. In looking much farther ahead than the latter date imagination is apt to stagger.—Ex. Seattleites, as well as those who live in Bremerton, knew that the Puget Sound navy yard is one of the best located stations in the world, but it sounded good to hear Senator Hemenway laud it, just the same. 1.

One short week from today the all-important Seattle Derby will be lecided, and already daughters and wives are cajoling the household treasurer for the wherewith for the new dress and hat in which to attend this function. It is a time-honored custom in England, where the race originated, that no lady ever thinks of going to Epsom in a frock that has done duty on prior occasions of a similar event. Our merchants have recognized this fact and have had on exhibition a choice collection of dainty racing costumes and exquisite millinery.
