Historical Society EPUBLICAN SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1905 SHIP THE SLOGAN MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP THE SLOGAN MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP THE SLOGAN Great Britain and Ireland owning and operating electrical plants and serving people with lights at greatly reduced rates, and about 200 other municipalities entering upon the construction of such works. In all the cities operating electrical plants the published facts disclose that light was being furnished at reduced rates, and that there was profit in nearly every case to the municipality, some profits reaching as high as $499,725 to a single city—Liverpool. DO YOU KNOW? That the net profit of all municipal tramway lines of the United Kingdom is fully discussed each year through the Board of Trade? For the year ending June 30,1903,as to some of the cities,the following profit,with an average rate of three cents per passenger,were reported: Aberdeen ..... $ 123,025 Blackburn ..... 82,440 Blockpool ..... 79,975 Bolton ..... 192,580 Glasgow ..... 1,761,285 Huddersfield ..... 105,110 Hull ..... 217,020 Leeds ..... 585,792 Liverpool ..... 868,070 Manchester ..... 619,855 Newcastle ..... 322,545 Nottingham ..... 271,750 Portsmouth ..... 234,945 Salford ..... 208,040 Sheffield ..... 373,830 Southampton ..... 99,625 Sunderland ..... 124,525 Manchester ..... $424,265 Glasgow ..... 379,325 Edinburg ..... 310,625 Leeds ..... 200,950 Bradford ..... 188,845 Brighton ..... 175,920 Birmingham ..... 173,145 Nottingham ..... 158,480 Bristol ..... 135,825 Salford ..... 133,630 Hamstead ..... 113,635 The remaining cities profited in smaller amounts. DO YOU KNOW?—That almost without exception every large town in Europe has completely municipalized the tramways, or is about to do so, and it is considered that no tramway service can be of the fullest benefit to the people unless it is operated as well as owned by the municipality. GLASGOW VS. SEATTLE. As shown above, Glasgow made a profit of $1,761,285 in 1903 off of its tramway system. Seattle paid out $1,626,000 on the electric system. Glasgow and the other cities above named have kept their profits at home for the benefit of their own people and their own city. While Seattle is shipping out near $2,000,000 per annum that ought to be kept in the city either in the pockets of the people or in the treasury of the city. PROFITS. As shown above, the profits to the municipalities upon gas, electric light and tramway service have been numerous even at less than one-half the rate charged in this city. When the municipality gets full control of the electric light plant, the street car plant and the gas plant and properly operates the water plant, it will make a great difference to the city and the citizens of Seattle in keeping at home, either in the pockets of the citizens or in the treasury of the city, more than $2,000,000 per annum; and as the city grows, it will amount, when the city has 1,000,000 population, to at least $10,000,000 per year. The matter is of such great moment and the evidence so conclusive that all the cities of the world are now directing their attention to municipalizing the public utilities. Not only the cities and countries over the water, but the cities to the north of us, such as Toronto, Ottawa, Westmount, Montreal, Calgary, St. Thomas, Kingsston and Whitby, are all discussing municipal ownership, and in a few years all will adopt it. The success of municipal ownership of tramways, electric light plants, gas plants and water plants have been so profitably successful and the evidence so conclusive that every city of the civilized world will soon be furnishing the public utilities at cost. GAS PLANT. The official reports for 1902 from 109 cities in Great Britain and Ireland owning their own gas plants, and all making profit, show that 17 municipalities were enriched by more than $50,000. The published records of Great Britain show that in 1904, 256 municipalities owned their own gas works and supplied the people at a rate far below that of American cities and at a profit to the municipalities. The net profit in each of the cities varied from $140 to $350,000. In Manchester, where the supply of gas extends to a community embracing 16 outlying townships, the net profit was $350,000, and this at the rate of 66 cents per thousand feet of gas. In Birmingham, with a 60 cent rate, the net profit was $280,000; Belfast, with a 60 cent rate, $103,000; Nottingham, with a 52 cent rate, $85,000; Leicester, with a 54 cent rate, $130,000, and Carlisle, with a 54 cent rate, $29,000. In some cities the rate is as low as 28 cents. --- ELECTRIC PLANT.—In 1903 there were 155 corporations in SEATTLE'S PASSING THRONG an uncontrollable fit of laughter. 'What's the matter,' asked the puzzled bookkeeper. 'You are sure there is no mistake,' again inquired the recent camper. 'I am positive that the bill is correct,' was the reply. 'What is the trouble about it?' 'Why,' replied the man with the bill, 'we went camping two months ago and the hired girl left two of the gas burners running and I was sure that I would have it to pay for, but if six dollars is correct, I'm alright,' and the bookkeeper heard him still laughing as he passed out of the office door." The story is not out of keeping with the question in hand and to know that the gas companies are giving what they claim in the way of gas and that the consumer is paying for what he actually uses would relieve the mental situation and perchance the financial situation as well. Want An There is talk of creating a Oil Inspector new city office, that of gas inspector. All cities ought to have such an office even where there is no inferior quality of oil put upon the people and thereby producing poor lights, for it is worth something to know that the companies are living up to the rules and regulations. There was a little anecdote going the rounds not long since, which, in substance ran thus: "A man who had been camping for two months returned home. He soon received a gas bill of $6.00 for the two past months. He grabbed his hat and ruched for the gas office. 'Is this bill correct?' he asked of the bookkeeper, while smile after smile chased each other in rapid succession over his beaming countenance. 'Quite correct,' replied the man, whereat the camper bursted into --- VOL. XII. NO. 3 LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS An Age of It is claimed that this age Free Thought. of free thought, which inspires and encourages free actions, is liberating woman to an unexpected degree, and that as woman comes into a freer atmosphere mentally she at once begins to liberate her body of fewer and less binding staves, larger and more comfortable shoes, shorter and more-in-keepin-with-common-sense dress skirts follow. The change in underwear is greater yet and freer movements of the body are gradually giving birth to a very desirable new woman. Now there is a movement on foot, and it should appeal to every woman who has broadened enough to appreciate her own bodily comfort, to liberate the horse from evils which tend to make his existence miserable and against which he, unlike Baal's ass, has never been given the power of speech. The docked tail has been Hamre long before the publie’s eye and report has it that docked tails, owing to the war which has been made against them, have become to some extent unpopular. But the use of the check rein is now engrossing the attention of not a few, and judging from a humane standpoint, a woman who was comfortable herself and knew the disadvantages of being uncomfortably arrayed, would object to rid- ing behind a horse whose head is rained up till it is brutally tortured, simply to gratify a misguided idea of elegance in ap- pearance. Seattle’s ‘“‘YOU WOULD NOT KNOW SE- Juvenile A'TTLE, IT HAS GROWN SO,” Court. is often written East to those who have visited the city some years ago. Seattle’s advancement in the business world is but little short of miraculous. How- ever, there are other things which have kept abreast of the grand rush in this line, and foremost among them are reforms and adop- tions in municipal affairs. ‘‘Don’t tell me what you are doing for the grown people of your town, they are now on the stage of ac- tion and will soon make their exits,’’ said an antibellum sage, ‘‘tell me what you are doing for the children, they are the men and women who will show the result of your labors by making your city a credit to your memory.” In keeping with this very thought is the Juvenile Court which has been recently created and thoroughly established in Se- attle. The policy defined by Judge Frater is to preside over this court, is all that could be desired and the good: results therefrom, although far reaching, are plainly foreseen. Seattle would not be recognized in more than one way by those who lived here many years ago, and the more unrecognizable it is made, when good government, right laws and hu- mane officers are the causes which make it so, the better. However, there is yet much to be done and many little things to be taken into consideration. Let the good work go on. ‘Nigger’? Some people enjoy what they Reporter call ‘‘darky”’ stories, and with Writes. that thought in view, the pin- headed reporters on the Post- Intelligencer report every thing said by col- ored men in the very lowest form of Negro dialect, regardless of how well educated the man may or may not be. In reporting the up-to-date method by which the dogs at the pound will be put to death hereafter, which is by electricity, the little tight headed re- porter says: ‘Ah thinks de scheme am fine,”’ said Henry Gregg, the dusky pound master, “put de only trubble am dat de executioner is apt to go ‘long wif de dog.’”? While Henry Gregg may not be educated to any great extent he never uses such language as this pin head has put in his mouth. Gregg is not much of an Afro-American any way. He is a mixture of Mexican and Indian, with no part of the African desirable, and has a very different accent from the lower type of Negroes with which these Post-Intelligencer reporters try to identify every Negro of whom they write. Of course, after these would-be-reporters have turned in their un- true reports they could not be published un- less a higher source O. K, them. The man- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN agement is after a jeke and wishes to make the paper ‘‘take,’’ but to do so by misrepre- senting citizens of the town is gaining a rep- utation for witty news as illegally as going into another man’s pocket to get money to spend simply because money is a good thing to have. The man who gets the money reaps the benefit, but what about the man who is deprived of what is rightfully his own. Quite a bit of spring house clean- ing, in the way of checking up treasurers’ books, by Capt. H. M. Pierce, has been going on, and Se- State Quite a bit of spring house clean- Wants ing, in the way of checking up Her’s. treasurers’ books, by Capt. H. M. Pierce, has been going on, and Se- attle is to soon have it determined how much, if any, the city has failed to remit to the state in the past seventeen years of the state’s 10 per cent. of all whiskey licenses. Investigation has shown balances due from several cities and when the towns and cities all over the state shall have been checked up the state will find there is no small amount due from the stewardship of these seventeen years. A house cleaning in the ‘‘good old summer time’? may rumple things up for a while, but promotes easy running for many days afterwards. Wm. G. Ronald, who, by the way, is a native of the famous state of Missouri, tells a rather laughable story at the expense of his state, which his friends enjoy hugely. “When I first went to California,’’ said he, “T knew two rival business men and they did not like each other a little bit, and the two were eternally giving their customers bits of damaging news at the expense of the other and his business. Neither of the men were from Missouri and thereby hangs the tale. One day one of the rivals told a cus- tomer in confidence that the sister of his rival across the street married a nigger, This bit of startling news was soon conveyed to the ears of the fellow across the street by the ‘‘confidential,’? who was highly enjoy- ing the rivalry and jealousy between the two men. Well, suppose she did, he snarled, why his sister did a thousand times worse, she actually married a Missourian.’’ Mr. Ronald being an Anglo-Saxon loves to tell the joke because it always brings forth a roar of laughter, but he has his doubts of a Missourian (white) being lower down in the scale of human affairs than a Negro. A little eight year old girl of a prominent Seattle family, who has just begun to enjoy her Sunday school outings, was asked why she did not sometimes stay to church, instead of going home as soon as the Sunday school was out. ‘‘Well,’’ said the little girl, ‘‘I get too tired to stay in church for a whole hour, because I cannot go to sleep like the big folk.’’ The habit of going to sleep in church seems to be so common that even the children observe it as soon as they begin to attend church services.

AFRO-AMERICAN NEWS. During the past year 4,392 white and 5,395 Afro-Americans were granted license to teach in Mississippi, Gov. Vardaman’s non- sense notwithstanding. In the South there are farmers who employ Afro-Americans year in and year out, raise good crops and have no complaints to make whatever. What can be the difference be- tween them and that class of farmers which is always bewailing their inability to secure reliable Afro-American laborers? The Afro- American laborer is just like any other la- borer; he works where he gets prompt pay and humane treatment. Jessie R. Fauset, a young Afro-American girl took the highest honor in the senior class at Cornell University in Utica, N. Y. Miss Fauset is the first person of color ever given the ‘‘Phi Beta Kappa’”’ in art and sciences in this university. The class was a large one and the honor hotly contested, but fairly won, Boker Washington’s theories are at a dis- count among the colored aristocracy in Wash- ington and a pretty row in Howard univer- sity is the result of President John Gordon’s efforts to put them in execution. Manual training is all right for the masses down South, but when it comes to educating the sons and daughters of government employes to labor with their hands, it is carrying theories a little too far. Latin and Greek, medicine and law appeal to them much more strongly. Howard university is a Negro in- stitution for ‘‘higher’’ education more or less under the government control and Pres- ident Gordon is a white man, In addition to entertaining the idea that many a good cook and carpenter is spoiled to make a poor law- yer or doctor. President Gordon has as- sumed the attitude that his duties were ad- ministrative and pedagogical in character, rather than social, and has failed to enter- tain the distinguished Negroes who have vis- ited the university as the students thought they should be entertained. One of the most grievous charges against Mr. Gordon is that he has given but one reception to the colored professors and their wives, and, as far as known, has not entertained any of them at dinner, The matter came to a climax when Camille Boltz, a dusky damsel from Mobile, Alabama, declines to accept a paper diploma when she wanted a sheepskin. Burning with indigna- tion she stated she would be ashamed to take such a paper home. According to the story Mr. Gordon informed her she could throw it in the fire if she did not want it. Being reported to the students their smoul- dering indignation burst into a flame and re- volt impended. A petition signed by fifty leading colored persons has been presented to the board of trustees asking for Dr. Gor- don’s remoyal on the ground of incompetency and the threat is made to carry the matter before congress unless the board acts favor- ably. Ex-Representative White, of North Carolina, is one of those actively seeking the removal of Mr. Gordon.—News. Seattle Engraving Co.

The special edition of the Catholic Progress just issued is a most commendable effort and a splendid advertisement for Seat- tle. Not only the business men, who have writeups therein, should send it East and other points where it would fall into the hands of large numbers of persons, who might be attracted to the Northwest in general, and Seattle in particular, but the citizens in general should send copies of the number out of town.

Peace negotiations between the belligerents are moving on favorably. * * * The P.-I.'s Negro reporter got in another dig on a member of his race the other day. One Negro seems to never lose an opportunity to do another an injustice. *** Pressure from some unseen source was brought to bear, in a manner now unknown, and the majority of the city council voted that the saloon limit be increased. *** The pretty girl is said to be acquiring a lisp. The reason—men like it. Therefore, if women do what men like, men are responsible for what women do—and thereby hangs a tale. * * . * "Editors dine on buffalo meat in Oklahoma," runs a head line. Extra fair and a little surprising, but not nearly as much so as the fact that editors have any meat at all on which to dine. *** The missionaries who have very generally been pronounced "church worker fakers," talked much and even promised, through the interpreters, to work, but when the time came they were deported just the same. * * * Several foreign countries are saying President Roosevelt is the man. They have just had it brought home to them what manner of man he is, that's all. We knew it all along, for he has brought it home to us in more cases and in more ways, than one. *** Quite a long thesis has been written on the subject: "Fear inspired by cats." We do not know much about that subject, but we could write volumes about the fear we would like to inspire in cats, especially in the night time, when they are making their presence known in no uncertain tones. * * * "Altogether, the United States should be proud of her medical men. They do not take a back seat with those of any country in the world," says Dr. A. Mantelli of Rome, Italy, a prominent specialist in diseases of the eye, who has been visiting in New York and Chicago, studying surgical methods in this country as compared with the methods in vogue in European countries. * * * Governor Mead has at last officially made known his appointees as railroad commissioners. Last Wednesday he named as associates with Harry Fairechild, J. S. McMillin of Roach Harbor and J. C. Lawrence of Garfield county. If these appointments meet public approval it is not generally believed, --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN at this time, that they will. The "people" have no representative at all on the board, as all of the men are well known railroad lobbyists. The saddest blow of it all is, the cold shoulder that Governor Mead has given King county in the affair. * * * On the hot days in Switzerland, school is dismissed. We call such days "heat holidays," writes a school teacher from that place. Why not make the school rooms endurable instead of dismissing school? The next thing we know some one will be agitating the idea of dismissing school in Seattle on rainy days, because the rain depresses the minds of the children. * * * Judge H. G. Struve, one of Seattle's prominent pioneers, expired suddenly in New York City last Tuesday. For years, Mr. Struve was identified with the firm of Struve, Allen, Hughes and McMicken. During that portion of his life spent in this city he took an active interest in all things pertaining to the welfare of Seattle. In legal, political and financial affairs he always stood in the front ranks. The more men like Henry G. Struve that Seattle can produce the greater city she will become and the greater credit she will be to the entire republic. About one year ago Mr. Struve retired from active business life and at the time of his unexpected demise he was on the verge of a trip to Germany where he was born. The people of Seattle give up such men as Mr. Struve, whose lives are so closely interwoven with the early history of the state of Washington, reluctantly, yet surely they are steadily passing from the stage of action. *** There was once two little "darky" boys whose mother owned some cows. These boys had to go after them alternately. Of course, if one should happen to be sick, the other had to do double duty. "One night," so the story goes, "the two little boys were laying on their pallet and the rain was falling in torrents. 'Listen, Billy,' said one of the boys, 'I'se gwinter be sick in de mornin'.' 'You'se crazy, nigger, I'se sick now,' replied Billy's brother.' Now, this is a "darky" story. It is full of wit and is a good, clean story that will cause any one to smile. When the Post-Intelligencer gets off "darky" stories on some real or imaginary person there is nothing wrong about it, but when it takes the common dialect which shows absence of any degree of culture or educational ability and places the same in the mouths of Seattle's colored citizens, it is wrong and the treatment is unbecoming to a paper of the Post-Intelligencer's standing. * * * The four Chinese students, who were detained in Boston by the immigration officials, were accorded treatment which was not only unkind, but exceedingly unjust. The Chinese, Messrs. K. T. King, Z. D. King, and S. G. King and Miss T. King, are nephews and niece of the governor of Shanghai, China. This, with the natural refinement and advantages in personal appearance, which it guarantees ought to have entitled them to better treatment than is accorded the common coolies who come to this shore. The FRIDAY. JUNE 16. 1905 Kings were on their way home after having spent three years studying in King's college, University of London. They had proper passports and a special letter from United States Ambassador Choate and the only thing lacking was, they had failed to have photographs of themselves. After having been at the University three years and having in their possession letters from this country's ambassador it was a great injustice to not accord them worthy treatment. Americans are too apt to class all other people, of what are termed inferior races, as a whole. There seems to never be in their minds but the one class and so the wealthy, cultured King students were put through the same treatment that is accorded to all coolies. All Chinese may look alike, but they are not alike. * * * Mayor Dunne wrote himself down as a firm foe of the color line, and declared that so long as he was mayor of Chicago no man should be barred from the service of the city on account of his being an Afro-American. This came in response to complaints that Chief of Police O'Neil was swearing in as special policemen dozens of Afro-Americans in striking contrast to Sheriff Barrett's refusal to recognize Afro-Americans who applied for work as special deputy sheriffs. "We already have fifty or more on the police force," said Mayor Dunne when his attention was called to the policy of the chief who, at the time was administering the oath of office and distributing stars and clubs to a score or more Afro-American men. "If Afro-American men are good enough to be regular policemen, having passed the civil-service commission examination," continued the mayor, "they are good enough to serve as special officers now. We need them, too." * * * That American colored men are capable of making their mark in civil life many shining examples show, but their ability in the military field has never yet been fully tested. In spite of the restrictions under which they labor, however, occasional instances prove that among them might be found material for very competent officers of the army. A case in point is that of Second Lieutenant George S. Thompson, of the Philippine Scouts U. S. A., who has lately received his commission after over twenty years' service in the regular army. Lieutenant Thompson was born in Iowa in 1868, received a fair education, and first enlisted in 1884. With the expiration of his every term he re-enlisted. He has been at various times fighting man and a member of the band, and wherever he was placed he did his duty well and won the approval of his superiors. He served on the Western plains during various troubles, took part in the campaigns in Cuba, and afterward had much war experience in the Philippines. His bravery, intelligence, and efficiency caused his promotion to the rank of sergeant, and leading officers recommended him as worthy of a commission. Age limitations prevented him from undergoing the examination prerequisite to office in the regular army, but he was appointed to his present post in the auxiliary force, where he will, in time, no doubt rise to higher rank. The lieutenant has received several medals for rifle and pistol shooting. Its to your interest to talk to The Seattle Republican before giving your notices out for publication. Phones, Main 305, Ind. 1306 Office 214 Columbia St. FRIDAY. JUNE 16. 1905. POLITICAL POT=PIE Hon. Sam G. Cosgrove, the political warhorse from Pomeroy, has been visiting in the city for the past week. He came to attend a meeting of the State University and subsequently to attend the commencement exercises. Mr. Cosgrove was seen by the Piemaker and asked for some political news and for an answer he told the following story: "Many years ago a man with his family of ten children left Missouri to come to the Pacific Coast. He had been married for some time and was the proud father of ten bouncing brats and only a year intervening between their birth with one exception. After he had settled down on a homestead in his new home in the course of time another child came, but there were two years instead of one between the last children. A census enumerator some years later pulled up at his house and demanded of him the number, names and ages of his children, which were given. He began with the oldest and gave its age and continued one after the other with but one year intervening between the birth of each until it came to the last one, when two years elapsed. "Hold on there," shouted the census taker," you have skipped a year." "That's so," replied the old fellow, "but that year I was crossing the plains and got alkalied." Politically speaking I am alkalied. I know nothing nor have anything of either a political nature or otherwise for publication. I do know, with no intention to blow hot air at you, that The Seattle Republican is the best weekly paper published in the state—good day. * * * W. P. Sargent of Tacoma, an applicant for railroad commissioner at a salary of $4,000 a year, has accepted a deputy oil inspector position at a salary of $1,000 per year. Mr. Sargent was informed that he had no show of getting what he had his heart set on, but he could have this position, and realizing that some office was better than none, he lost no time in accepting this honored position. The hankering some men do have for public office is simply unexplainable. They seem to think they would starve to death unless they were drawing a salary from some part of the government. *** State Land Commisisoner Ross is accused by the political dope writer on the Belzebub of "wanting to be governor." A most laudable ambition to say the least, for there are few men in the state of Washington that would not like to be her governor. If Ross or anyone else can pull a plum like that, the Pie-maker would consider him the biggest "damphool" at large if he did not do so. As was previously predicted in these columns the coming mayoralty fight in Seattle is rapidly simmering down to a pitched battle between Sam H. Rathbun, representing the Republicans, and Edward Cudihee, representing the Democrats. Even at this early date, it can be safely predicted that, these two men will control the primaries of their respective parties for the nomination of mayor and each will be unanimously nominated. Rathbun will have nothing to say about the nomination and what Cudihee does say, it is done with much precaution, showing very conclusively that both of them are willing to make the fight. * * * Speaking about Sam Rathbun and the mayoralty nomination reminds us that he has been a very successful politician in the past. He has always gotten whatever he has gone after from his party and always has ben equally successful when he appealed to the people. He was elected city treasurer four years ago and, but not being eligible for re-election, had to retire at the end of his term. Two years later he asked his party for the nomination again and as the first time it was given him without opposition. At the polls of each election he was a popular candidate and ran up among the high men. While he has not actually asked his party for the nomination of mayor it is generally presumed that he will do so, and already a most favorable sentiment in his favor has set in and the presumption, even among the politicians, is that he will have practically no opposition at the primary polls. In Seattle generally speaking a Republican nomination is equal to election, but as new issues will be discussed in the coming municipal campaign, he may not win with the same ease as he has ATTENTION HOW ABOUT NOT Its to your The Seattle Repu your notices out for ```markdown ``` * * * other political battles in which he has engaged. There seems to be no doubt but if Ed. Cudihee wants the nomination for mayor from the Democratic party that he will get it without opposition. No Democratic nominee for high office in King county has had the success as has Cudihee and the Democrats realize that if they are to win with any one at all, it must be with him as their standard bearer. Cudihee, it will be remembered, defeated one of the best politicians that ever put foot in King county, in the person of A. T. Van De Vanter, and subsequently defeated John Wooding, likewise a king pin politician. At the time two dangerous political factions raged among the Republicans in the county and the rivalry between the two was largely responsible for the trouble, but it was Cudihee that was able to command the situation simply because he was clean and without a blot or a blemish on his escutcheon. Four years in the sheriff's office detracted nothing from his good name and, owing to the rather unsettled political condition of affairs in the city at present, he could give the Republican nominee a hard race for the election. Are you interested in the political affairs of this city, then take the Seattle Republican and you will have in your Saturday morning's mail an insight into the political condition of affairs such as you can obtain no place else in the city.

Never before in the history of a theatrical company has one scored such a success on so short an acquaintance as the one appearing at the Third Avenue Theatre at present. When Managers Russell & Drew announced a New York company for a summer season, the people evidently expected something good, for since the opening of the Charles A. Taylor's Company, in the author's own plays, there have been but few vacant seats in the theatre. "Queen of the Highways" this week is a splendid romantic drama, with life-like characters, a thrilling plot, well worked out by every character of the company. Miss Allane May, as Belle Diamond, the Queen of the Highway, has the leading part, and she plays it to perfection; but there are so many other good parts, in the hands of actors, that a finished performance is the result. If you like thrills and romance, don't miss seeing "Queen of the Highway." Railroad plays are always interesting, and generally successful. The patrons of the Third Avenue Theatre will have an opportunity of witnessing a real railroad play there next week, for Mr. Charles A. Taylor's company will produce "A Girl Engineer" all next week, starting next Sunday matinee. It tells a romantic story of the rail and gives character drawings from life, and the hero of the play still lives. THE MASTER AND THE MASTER KOLB & DILL. AT THE GRAND KOLB & DILL.

U." and "The Beauty Shop" will be presented at The Grand by Kolb & Dill, who have introduced a few innovations in the laughable farce, and who will present it with their accustomed fervor, supported by an excellent company. Of Kolb & Dill, it is unnecessary to say anything more than they are funnier than ever. Charlotte Vedot makes a great hit as Sapho Sweeney, while Ben Dillon's tough athlete, Professor Hercules Brannigan, is hard to excel. Edith Mason is graceful as Mme. Voluptia, and Thomas H. Persse as Clarance Posem, has a voice that is above the usual standard in musical comedies. The chorus is large and well trained and composed of exceptionally pretty and sprightly girls. The engagement starts Sunday night with "I. O. U." Significant and encouraging both in subject and in spirit was the recent contribution on "Winning Back the Negro" by Mrs. Kate Morrisette, society editor of the Daily Montgomery Times, in the Charleston News and Courier. The article was characterized by a tender solicitude for the welfare of the Afro-American which is rarely expressed, at least in print, in the South. It pleaded for a restoration of the spirit of ante-bellum days, when, it is somewhat romantically alleged, the principle of noblesse oblige guided the white man in his relations to the dependent blacks. But whatever the old times were, it is refreshing to have a Southern woman thus own the duties of Southern white people to the swarthy strangers within their gates, and we hope the article struck a responsive chord in many hearts. If the Afro-American could be assured of the sympathy of his white neighbors, his path would be far less Graham's UNUSUAL SUIT SALE $25.00 and $30.00 Values $14.95 J.S.

It is the thought that his progress is watched with hostile, jealous eyes, that the higher he climbs the more conspicuous a mark he renders himself for the slings and arrows of outrageous prejudice—it is this thought which discourages and represses him. Because Mrs. Morrisette is trying to remove this ungenerous Southern opposition to our advancement, and substitute therefor kind-hearted sympathy, she merits the thanks of the Afro-American people.—N. Y. Age. Several persons who took part in the Decoration day parade in New York city have called our attention to the fact, which was very generally noticed, that while the statutes of Washington and Lafayette in Union Square were covered with floral tributes, that of Lincoln in the same square was decorated only with a small bouquet. This fact, if a fact, is not only incredible but scandalous. To us, personally, it is shocking. That a statue of Abraham Lincoln, the overtopping genius of the great Civil War, could be slighted on Decoration day, or any other day of National celebration, passes understanding. To the Afro-American people Abraham Lincoln always will be the greatest and best man in American history. They at least cannot afford to allow his memory or public testimonials to his memory to be slighted or ignored anywhere in the Republic, if they can prevent it. Here in Greater New York, it should be a matter of duty, of pride and of pleasure, for Afro-American Grand Army veterans and civilians to see to it that the statues of Abraham Lincoln are properly decorated with flowers on Decoration Day. We feel that it is only necessary to direct attention to this matter in order that it may be properly attended to.—N. Y.

A Grocery Sensation se ° 99 ° ° Heinz’ Pickles Half Price The name ‘‘Heinz’’ on a bottle of pickles means the BEST MADE. Heinz pickles are used exclusively on the tables of the first families of America. To buy them, even a notch or two under the regular price, is a rare thing. To buy them at HALF PRICE is ‘‘Frenzied Finance’’—the other way. Did you ever hear of it before? First time, cen, ; so far as we know, and we’ve a v, Price | been dabbling in pickles for Y% Price nigh on twenty years. We’ve ————————="_ got, 400 cases to sell at half price. We bought ’em cheap, because they played a minor part in a recent railroad mixup, and they came out of it in fine shape, too. A few bottles got broken, but the principal dam- age was to the labels. The pickles are as good as the day they were put in the bottles. We could get more for them, perhaps. ’Twould be breaking a long established rule of this store to even try. It’s a good rule, too. This is it—‘‘When we buy a bargain, we sell a bargain.’’ That’s why you can buy Heinz’s pickles AT HALF PRICE. ‘Prices— Regular 50e bottle Olives for... ...1+1+++++ 986 Regular 35c¢ bottle OV SA fOr) sicsicty tin ieee Regular 35c bottle Sweet Pickles for............ 18¢ Regular 40¢ bottle Sweet Pickles for............ 20¢ Regular 30c bottle Sour Pickles for...........- 15¢ Regular 15¢ bottle Mustard for................ 8¢ Regular 15c bottle Pickles for...........------- 8c Regular 20¢ bottle Ketchup for................ 10¢ Regular 25¢c bottle Malt Vinegar for............ 13¢ Restaurant and hotel keepers will not miss such an oppor- tunity to lay in a year’s supply, in this a hint to thrifty house- keepers. ; —_—_——_—$————$—————————————————————— PIN TAEY.

He expresses himself well pleased with that part of the state, but was willing, never-the-less, to return to Roslyn. Mrs. Andy Myers hung herself on Friday, the 9th, by tying a rope to a joist and jumping off of a chair. This was quite a surprise to her friends, as no one knew that she was contemplat- ing such an act. On the same Friday that Mrs. My- ers committed suicide Ben Bernett fell dead. A horse, behind which two young women were riding, took fright, Mr. Bernett was persuing the buggy in an attempt to stop the horse when he fell dead. The people of Roslyn want all of the surrounding towns to take part in the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN barbecue on August the 4th. Frank- lin, Ravensdale, Yakima and Ellens- burg are especially invited, and it is earnestly hoped that they will come and take part there by making the day one long to be remembered, Mr. A. Walden and Mr. J. Hunter were up from Cle Elum on Sunday, the 11th. Mr. Robert Petegrew, superintend- ent of the Montana Coal Company for the Northern Pacific, was shaking hands with friends on the streets last week. Mr, Ed.
