Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XII. NO. 8 POLITICAL POT=PIE To the "old-timer" in politics in King county it looks natural to see John Wooding lined up at a desk along by the side of Al. Rurtherford, as can now be seen in that particular office at the county court house, which is occupied by the county commissioners. Within the past 15 years not many days have passed but what either one or both of these men could be seen occupying official positions about the office of the county commissioners either as a member of the board or as an employee thereof. It has been six years now since Wooding has actually been employed at the court house, but the turn of the political wheel has once more brought hm to the surface. After retiring from the office of county commissioner he for two years filled the position of state senator. He resigned that position to accept the nomination for sheriff. For that office he was beaten at the polls and temporarily retired from public life. He was a candidate for a state appointment under Governor Mead, but got left. He was recently selected by the county commissioners as fire warden for King county, and to execute the duties incumbent on him in that capacity explains his having a desk in the county court house at present. The "south district," with John Wooding as the leading political spirit, has had a long and successful run for its money, and has succeeded in domineering the politics of the county for a great many years. * * * Speaking about the familiar face of Al. Rutherford about the board of county commissioners reminds the Pie-Maker that a friend of Al. has announced that he (Al.) would be a candidate for county commissioner from the Third commissioners' district, to succeed Peter J. Smith, the present incumbent. There will be a number of aspirants for the same nomination, but in view of the afct that Al. Rutherford is politically hooked up with Pete Smith, John Wooding and the "south district" in general, the odds in his favor of winning the fight are three to one. County Assessor John W. Peter is also a candidate for the place, but the powers that be in the county are against him, and he will have an up-hill pull of it. Since 1892 the men elected county commissioner from the Third district are Al. Rutherford, of the "south district" combine; W. H. Heaton, Democrat: Demo.-Pop.; P. J. Smith, of the "south district" combine, twice elected. It will thus be observed that whenever the Republicans won the district, it was done by forming a combination with the "south district," hence the chances of any one else winning the district from that combine are very remote. Rutherford made a good and efficient county commissioner when in office, and he has given splendid satisfaction as purchasing agent for the county for the past four SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 21. 1905 [Name not visible in the image] DEPUTY STATE FIRE WARDEN (KING COUNTY) HON. JOHN WOODING Later—Wooding has just resigned as Fire Warden to be a guard at McNeils Island. years. Politically speaking, he has well fortified himself and he will be a hard man to beat, even in the absence of any country combine. * * * "In my opinion the next mayor of Seattle has not as yet been mentioned," came from a group of well known politicians one day this week, while discussing the situation with the Piemaker. Seattle demands a continuation of her present policy on the part of her next mayor. The citizens, having gotten a taste of a decent policy, will not be satisfied with any other from now on. We do not mean to intimate that the men who have already been spoken of as candidates for the nomination of mayor would do other than what the present mayor is doing, but some of them will have a hard time convincing the voters that they will, hence they will not only have much trouble getting the nomination, but would have equally as much trouble getting the election should they happen to be nominated by their partisan friends. Seattle is having the cleanest administration at present that she has ever had since she has been a city above the 40,-000 mark. There is absolutely no chance for the "crook" to do any business with either the mayor or the chief of police, and if any of the police officers get caught in dong any "funny business," as many of them did do under former Seattle administrations, they will lose their official heads at once. It is said of Chief Delaney that he told a would-be prominent tenderloin politician, who had come to the headquarters looking for police proteceton to conduct a gambling game: "If I was certain you were running a game at PRICE FIVE CENTS present or had been running one, I would lock you up right now. You, nor no one else, can get any protection from me to break the law while I am chief of police of Seattle. You can do no business with me." Down in Walla Walla county the war between the Boxers and the men of the tribe of Levi is still going merrily on, and in the city election this week the Boxers scored a notable victory, despite the efforts of the Ankeny crowd to colonize the First ward with penitentiary guards.—Colfax Commoner. * * * If the warden of the state penitentiary at Walla Walla and his assistants are found guilty of illegal registration in order to butt into the local election, it will teach them "to take a joke" and not meddle with something that is none of their business. It too frequently happens that public officials take an active part where they have no business whatever. Governor Mead is investigating the matter, fully determined to inflict punishment wherever he finds that wrong has been done. May he have the courage to fire them, though they have escaped the law on a technicality.—Exchange. A number of attorneys were considerate enough to send The Republican legal notices this week, which falls under the head of new business, for which we are very grateful. We trust others will do likewise and thus keep the ball rolling. The Seattle Republican has been published, without losing a single issue, for twelve long years, and it should be well enough established by this time to be on a most substantial financial basis, but it is not and the most of the readers of the paper know why it is not. The editor hereof has no desire to go into details over the matter at this time—it is not, you know why, that is sufficient. There is no reason or excuse for withholding patronage from a paper whose cardinal principles are for right and justice and good government, such as has The Seattle Republican advocated since it was first established in this cty. The efforts of man should be patronized by his fellow men for the merit that is in them, and not for the man himself. Do not declare, without a thorough investigation, that "nothing good can come out of Nazareth." Do not further soliloquise, when you find that you are mistaken, that you will not have it, however good it may be, simply because a Nazarene produced it. The Seattle Republican, more plainly speaking, truly needs your business assistance. It needs a share of that which you have put away for printer's ink. It needs a share of the public patronage that must be printed in a weekly newspaper of general circulation. The Seattle Republican has the largest and most varied circulation of any weekly paper published in Seattle, and that means the entire state, and it asks for a share of your patronage. Can it get it? a MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. are mistaken in regard to the position of the mayor of Chicago on municipal ownership. There has been no vote yet taken in Chicago directly upon the question. Under the act of the legislature of May 18, 1903, of the State of Ilinois, the people had a right to vote whether or not a certain law, passed by the legislature, should go into effect. Un- der the peculiar constitution of Iilinois, local laws may be passed by the legislature to take effect upon a majority vote of the people. Under seetion 4 of the act approved May 18, 1903, it is provided thus: ‘This act shall not be in force in this city until the question of its adoption in such city shall first have been submitted to the electors of said city, and approved by a majority of those voting thereon.’ “Under the laws of the State of Illinois the question was submitted as to whether or not the law passed by the legislature should go into force, and a majority of the citizens voting approved the act, consequently the law is now in foree. “Further it is provided in the law, section 1, thus: ‘But no city shall proceed to op- erate street railways unless the proposition to opearte shall first have been submitted to the electors of said city, as a separate proposition, and approved by three-fifths of those voting thereon.’ “Up to this time, no vote has been taken upon the question as stated in the above proposition as to whether the city of Chi- cago will or will not proceed to operate street railways; in other words, under the law, the city has no power to own, construct, aequire, purchase, maintain and operate street railways within its corporate limits, except upon the three-fifths vote, as above stated; consequently Mayor Dunne, in order to earry out his plans, as the council will not submit the matter to a vote of the people, has recommended the forming of a corpora- tion by a number of the responsible citizens of Chieago, and granting to them franchises with the privilege of the city, at any time it has the power, to take up the franchises by paying to the citizens exactly what it cost them, and no more. That is the condi- tion now in the city of Chicago. “The people are being misled by the news- papers (uintentionally, of course), because the newspapers have not examined the Ili- nois law, and no one has so far taken the trouble to state the exact condition, Any one can see the law for themselves by look- ing on pages 72, 73, 74, 75 and 76 of the laws of Illinois relating to the incorporation of companies.” The editor of The Light Railway and Tramway Journal, of London, England, has written the following letter, among things of which he states thus: “London, E. C., June 30, 1905. “John E. Humphries, Esq., 602 Mutual Life Building, Seattle, Washington, US. A. “Dear Sir: Your American 5-cent fares are absurd, and a relic of the old horse-car days, which your street railway companies have perpetuated, and your publie suffered, without any reason other than the boosting THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN up of the companies’ revenues. Under municipal ownership and operation, and with honest administration, kept free from party politics, you should give your citizens cheap transport and at the same time make handsome profits. “Throughout Great Britain municipal tramways are working with marked sue- cess, and with the great adyantage of hay- ing wiped out of existence the endless dis- putés and troubles which existed under the old company system, and with the enormous advantage of being masters of their own streets. This result alone affords ample justification for municipal ownership, but there are many other advantages, not the least of which is the much greater comfort of traveling, and the knowledge by the peo- ple that they are traveling on their own cars and making profits for themselves. Every man is interested in preserving order, in the cleanliness of the cars, in the good be- havior of the officials, and in the mainte- nance of the best service for the whole of the citizens. With your facilities for generat- ing electricity from water power, you can produce current at most favorable prices. “You will find in every issue of our jour- nal returns of the traffies of our municipal tramways, and the annual or half yearly results of their working—out of some 130 municipal undertakings there are only three or four which do not pay well, and these only because of initial mistakes in laying out the lines, or overequipping them, and so having a lot of dead capital. “Our municipal tramways, it should be remembered, have to work under the strict- est conditions; have to pay interest on the loans which form their capital, have to set aside large specified sums yearly for sink- ing funds in repayment of the loans (which are all for fixed terms of years, varying from 6 years to 30 years for different parts of the equipment) ; they set aside large sums for depreciation, in addition to keeping everything in first-class condition from rey- enue; pay their men well, and then in most cases are enabled to hand over large sums in aid of the local rates. ee Le me fe ee ‘ : ae a ux . j " a 7 A e Pee | s+ @ «a oe , F HON.

Man- chester municipal tramways made a net profit of £120,000, say $600,000, and handed $230,000 over for the relief of the rates. Other cities have done proportionately well, and it is beyond all question that municipal tramways in this country are a pronounced and unqualified financial success—and an enormous gain to the community at large in every respect. “The writer’s son knows your city well from personal visits to it, and is of opinion that you are bound to do well—always pro- vided that you acquire the existing lines at a reasonable price. ““We have read your spirited speech with much interest, and wish you every success in your proposed municipalization. “Yours faithfully, “*W.

Humpries, on June 21, 1905, mailed the interview of Mr. Jacob Furth, which appeared in the Times, in regard to the Vienna street car system being about to be leased to private parties, to the editor of The Light Railway and Tramway Jour- nal, of London, England; and on July 18, 1905, he received an answer as follows: “‘London, E. C., July 5, 1905. “John E. Humphries, Esq., Seattle, Wash- ington, U. 8S. A. “Dear Sir: Yours of June 21st. My let- ter of last week to you will have anticipated your question, but I may add that it is totally incorrect to say, as is said by Mr. Furth, that the municipality of Vienna has leased its tramway system. On the contrary, the system, which is a very fine one, is worked by the municipality itself very profitably, and is now being considerably extended. You will see by our report of the Municipal Tramways Conference in Lon- don this week that an American engineer, from Boston, bore testimony to the fact that in very many respects British tramways (which are mostly municipal) are far ahead of American street railways in respect of track, cars, comfort and cheap fares. “Yours faithfully, “THE EDITOR.’’ It must be remembered that in Vienna they have a 1-cent workingman’s fare nights and mornings. . THERE ARE FOOLS AND FOOLS. In its colorphobia the South can furnish more fools to the square inch than any por- tion of the world. The latest piece of tom- foolery comes from Georgia, where they have not only separate drinking places for Negroes and whites, but they have added to this separate drinking troughs for horses owned by whites—although the horses may have Negro drivers—and those owned by Negroes. Recently a Negro’s horse drank on the prohibited side of a trough and its owner was arrested and fined $40 for this awful violation of law. The poor devil didn’t have the money to pay this exorbitant fine, whereupon the powers that be—(but ought not to be)—in that section of territory sold the man’s horse for $45. Yes, the South knows how to deal with the Negro, doesn’t it?—Omaha Enterprise. FRIDAY JULY 21, 1905. NOT AS EASY AS YOU THINK. (By Max Nordau.) Looking forward into the future, one often thinks of how future generations will solve the question of food supply when the old countries of the world have become so crowded that they can no longer feed theim- selves. Here one of the laws of nature will come into operation. The excess of the European population will flow out of the continent in the direction of least resistance. This least resistance is offered by the colored races, and these, therefore, are of necessity doomed first of all to be dislodged by the sons of the white race and then to be an- nihilated. The feeling of mutual responsibility which is gradually being embraced by all Euro- peans will not extend to the colored races. That uniformity of civilization which makes the peoples of Europe like to one another will not subsist between these and the in- habitants of the remaining continents. The application of force, which in Europe will be prospectless, will guarantee an easy suecess beyond its bounds. The European emigrant will not remove out of the tem- perate zone, which is the most beneficial and agreeable to him, farther than may be absolutely necessary. He will first of all settle the whole of North America and Aus- tralia and the whole of Africa and America south of the Torrid zone. Then he will take possession of the southern coasts of the Mediterranean sea and penetrate into the more hospitable portions of Asia. The natives will first of all try to organize resistance, but will soon see that their, only salvation is in flight. They will retreat be- fore the Europeans and in their turn over- whelm the smaller and feebler landholders, treating them in the same way as they them- selves have been treated by the stronger whites. Eyery generation, however, will produce in Europe a fresh, superfluous swarm of hu- man beings who will have to emigrate. The new torrent will mount up beyond the high- est water mark of the earlier stream, and the summits of European colonization will press farther and farther into foreign con- tinents, always more and more approxi- mating the equator. The inferior races will soon completely perish. I fail to see any hope of deliver- ance for them. PRESIDENT WASHINGTON WRITES. The followng communication has just been received at this office and the same is published with the view of keeping before the public the day afid date the National Negro Business League will convene this year. It is hoped that some Negro of the Northwest will feel sufficiently interested in the meeting to attend: “J am writing for the purpose of extend- ing you a cordial and personal invitation to be present at the meeting of the National Negro Business League to be held in New York City from August 16th to 18th.

WASHINGTON. organization. I think you will find that the time spent in attendance will not be thrown away. You will get an idea of what the progressive element. of the race is accom- plishing in the way of constructive, pro- gressive effort. The social side will receive attention by the local committee. “While writing, I cannot refrain from thanking you for the constant and generous help whieh your publication has given to this movement, as well as to all others hav- ing for their object the upbuilding of our race. Of course, I realize as fully as any one that this organization will not prove a panacea for all the ills that the race suf- fers, and that we need organizations work- ing in other directions, but I have the hope that this will help just a little. We are al- ways ready to give our hearty and close co- operation to any organization working for the uplifting of our race. ‘Yours very truly, “BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, **President.”’ YOU ARE PERFECTLY SAFE. (From Georgetown News.) A Negro author of Cleveland, Ohio, in an address before the Boston Literary and His- torical Association, recommended misceg- enation as a solution of the race problem. Why will some educated Negroes persist in striving for social equality through a mix- ing of the races?) He knows, if he knows anything, that there is one insurmountable barrier to such a condition—that the white race could not in an hundred thousand years assimilate the black; that by intermar- riage the result would be, eventually, a semi- African race, in color at least. © Common sense, morality and decency are opposed to such teachings. More harm is done to the advancement of a strugglng, ambitious and deserving class than can be overcome by years of meritorious effort. We have no idea that such a proposition will ever be favor- ably considered by self-respecting members of either the white or black race. We pro- test against such mouthings, for the reason that it is simply placing further obstacles in the way of the black man’s progress by members of his own race. Calm yourself, old man, for an ‘*Aunt Dinah’’ that would take such ‘‘trash’’ as you off a Christmas tree with a watermelon thrown in would be hard to find. Let mis- cegenation between the whites and the blacks of this country come as soon as it will or may, you can rest easy, for none of the blacks would ever condescend to hook up with you. NEGRO NEEDS TEACHING. (By Booker T. Washington.) For forty years we have heard a great deal about a war of races in the South. If there is a war it will be a war against crime, immorality and superstition. People must be patient with the Negro, When we study the trials of my race, I think that the race deserves great credit. There is always something new for the Negro—one day he is going to die out, another he is go- ing to multiply and overrun the South, and another all are to be banished to Africa. I speak as a Virginian and Southerner. The principal question the white people of the South ask is, ‘‘When is this education going to reach our kitehens?’’? I don’t say that all of our women should be cooks, but as nine-tenths of them are we want to edu- cate them to be the best cooks. There is no disgrace in being a cook, but there is eternal disgrace in being a poor cook. I wish that we might return to the old days when the Lees and other aristocratic families went into the Negro Sunday schools with their Bibles and tried to teach and help up. It is as much a duty as spending money and sending missionaries to China, Japan and other far-off countries. One of the most pathetic things in the South is that the Southern people do not know what is going on in the way of edu- eating the Negro at their very door. The nasty murderous assault made on Po- lice Officer Jacobs by the keepers of a low Italian dive in Belltown merits the extreme penalty of the law on those guilty of the deed. Policemen are repeatedly assaulted by vicious characters in this city, but, be it said to the credit of the colored colony, uo police officer or any other kind of officer of the law is ever wilfully attacked in their places of resort as was Officer Jacobs last Wednesday evening at Frank’s Place, and yet police officers take special delight in abusing the Negro at all times and under all circumstances. They never go on the wit- ness stand to testify against a colored pris- oner without speaking of the prisoner n the most disrespectful terms. Not because the officer has any excuse or reason for so doing, but simply beeause he has heard some one else say, it is popular to say mean things against Negroes. Persons wilfully commit- ting such assaults on police officers should be dealt with in such a manner that they never again, if they lived to be as old as was Methuselah, would attempt a similar offense.

EDITORIAL Hoch, a Republican, is booming Folk, a Democrat, for president, while Bryan, a Democrat, is booming Roosevelt, a Republican, for president. Did those dignitaries get their hands mixed? That "unfair beer" placard and banner may not hurt the sale of beer made by the local brewing companies, nevertheless it looks bad and Manager Sweeney is making strenuous efforts to have them laid to rest. The young man in New York who ran home and left his "best girl" in the hands of thugs, and who, on arriving home, went to sleep instead of making the fact known to the police, either had a very cold kind of love or he himself was hand-in-glove with the young fiends. In either case, he is deserving of as severe punishment as the court can find a law to do it with. Editor Witte may be correct in his statements, that Russia is not so sorely pressed as to submit to any unfair peace proposals that may be advocated by Japan. Perhaps she is not so badly pressed, but there is no doubt but that she is so badly beaten that to renew hostilities would be nothing more or less than a wilful slaughter of human life on the part of the Czar. "Oppressive heat" is reported as prevailing throughout the East. It's too bad that a bit of refreshing Puget Sound weather could not be shipped East in carload lots. Mrs. Mott says she refused to marry Dion, who attempted to kill both her and himself, because of the great disparity of years between herself and the young man, she being 40 and he but 20 odd. Young Dion evidently had tired of hearing, "I'll be a sister to you," and turned his affections to one that could be a mother to him. It begins to look as if the chief reason why the United States does not stop foreign emigration to this country is because the transportation companies have sufficient influence with Congress to present adverse legislation. It is now claimed that the transportation companies make a profit of $50,000,000 per annum out of bringing European slums to this country by the multiplied thousands every year, which, if true, allows ample funds to heal up any sore spots that might break out in Congress. Oregon is trying to impress visitors to Lewis and Clark Exposition that she is a more resourceful state than Washington, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and one of her strong points is her "timber land frauds" and the conviction of Senator Mitchell as the chief conspirator. In that, we admit, she has Washington slightly bested, but the Evergreen State should be given a little time. So many stars are being seen by the Russian authorities these days that astronomical observations must be the chief science now being pursued by the Russians. Pennsylvania has one Weaver that is making the right kind of cloth for the political scoundrels of Philadelphia. When made into clothes they are worn only behind prison walls. Money may or may not be transferred from the water fund of this city to other funds, but during these hot days even Superintendent Youngs must admit that there is an alarming leakage in the water system. Corporation Counsel Calhoun says the city's Lake Washington pumping plant can not be legally leased, while Mayor Ballinger says it can, and there you are. The board of public works can now take to the woods. Gov. Hoch, the Kansas gubernatorial misfit, is of the opinion that, "if the Democrats ever elect a president of the United States, Gov. Folk of Missouri will be the man." Granted, but your opinion is such a poor opinion, my dear governor. There is a good deal of talk about the "cotton scandal" just now, and our own and only Teddy has taken a hand in the investigation. Scandal seems to have permeated itself throughout our entire government system just now, and it might be well for Teddy to investigate the most of the enterprises and industries of our busy business world, and it is barely possible that scandal would be found everywhere. New York has been enjoying a real race war for the past week between whites and blacks. New York must encourage those things for advertising purposes, for we know between the city and the state authorities those outbreaks could be quelled on very short notice. And now the West Seattle Tribune is to infringe upon the rights of Gene Allens' "chain of papers." Evidently Gene is not giving the howling success in the Seattle THE FIELD --- suburbs that he promised to. Most any fool can start a newspaper, but it takes more than gall and hot air to make good after it has been started, and a number of persons paid their subscription for a year in advance for the rag. Convict Ed Stickney says nine-tenths of all the slot machines in the red-light district of Tacoma have been fixed and they never pay those who play them a cent in return. The slot machine, old man, whether in the red-light district or in an up-town fashionable cigar store, is a fraud and a cheat, and the man who plays it has no more show for his white anty than a snowball has to fly through hades. They are low gambling devices that are a hundred times more detrimental to any community than the poker table. Ralph Schoenfeldt, who has crossed the Pacific with the Japanese peacemakers, doubtless thoroughly convinced the little brown heroes that Seattle is one town in the United States where "Your credit is good." He could speak from experience. Almost every creed known to the sons of men is in some way represented in Seattle, and those which have no regular meeting places have active members, who are constantly on the lookout for opportunities to strengthen their members to that extent where they can maintain a place of worship. Among the new sects in Seattle are the Quakers. Brother Ash, who is a leader among the Eastern Friends, is visiting in this city and doing much to strengthen the order and stimulate the desire for regular meetings. The old straight-laced Quaker of colonial days, however, has passed. Today there is a broad difference between the modern Qakers and the Puritan Quakers. Pennsylvania and other states where the Society of Friends is strong have quite a few representatives in Seattle, and the association will doubtless grow. A REAL LIVE AERIONAUT. Frank Brooks, the professional aerionaut who is employed by the Seattle Electric Company to give exhibitions at the parks, has been during his stay here also working for himself upon lines in which he has for many years taken great interest. The result is that at an early date, perhaps next Sunday, he will make the trial trip in a flying machine of his own invention. THE FIELD --- FRIDAY. JULY 21. 1905 OUAKERS IN SEATTLE.

THE STATE COLLEGE CATALOGUE. The fourteenth annual catalogue of the State College, at Pullman, has just been issued. It is a 223-page volume, giving a concise description and account of the institution and its work, and may be had by any one on application. The new catalogue is considerably larger than any previous number, and represents, in its increased size, the rapid growth of this splendid educational institution. The total net enrollment in all departments of the college during the year which closed on the 22d of June aggregated 793 students, about 150 more than the number enrolled last year. This is exclusive of JAPANESE PEACE ENVOY Baron Komura, the Japanese peace envoy, on whom the eyes of the civilized world are turned, arrived in the Seattle port Thursday and was received with shouts of applause by the thousands of Japanese subjects sojourning in this city and community. Not only by the Japanese, but likewise by the subjects of Uncle Sam, among whom are our best and leading citizens. Men, who struggled to do homage to that distinguished Japanese have, perhaps used the most shocking language, and that, too, in the no very distant past, about the inferiority of the "darker races" and the superiority of the white races, and that the proud Anglo-Saxon race (meaning all white-skin persons) would never knuckle to a darker race, but the Japanese-Russian war and its results have brought about a great change of heart on the part of these "never-bend" whites, and now they declare the Japanese "mighty fine fellows," and are doing homage to the representatives of the race like Chesterfields. Of course, Jim Hill and his representatives in Seattle are making a great fuss over the little "big men" for mercenary purposes. Those fellows have not changed their ideas one iota about the inferiority of the darker races, only they see an opportunity to do business with the Orient by truckling to the Japanese, and they are too much "money mad" to let a single dollar get away, even though they are compelled to call things white what they have always insisted were black.

After the programme had been completed and refreshments served the genial host and hostess invited their friends to "come join the dance," and so passed the pleasant hours. Among those present besides the host and hostess were Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Love, Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Norris, Mr. and Mrs. Ball, Mr. and Mrs.' F. N. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Henry G. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Morris O'Brien, Mr. and Mrs. G. O. Allen, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Tutt, Mrs. J. E. Hawkins, Mrs. Drake, Mrs. H. R. Cayton, Miss Daisy O'Brien, Miss Maggie OB'rien, Miss Emma Houston, Miss Cora Oliver and Miss Jones, Mr. J. S. Murray and Master Henry Jones. Among others who entertained for Mr. and Mrs. Love while in the city were Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hawkins, who had them to dinner last Friday evening. Besides the family and the guests of honor Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Norris and Mrs. Butler were present. Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson likewise entertained them at dinner Thursday, July 13th, and besides the family and the guest of honor Mrs. Shelton was present. The visitors left for their home Saturday morning perfectly delighted with the many courtesies that had been shown them while in the city. COLORED CHURCH CIRCLES. Rev. A. J. Woodard, who for the past year or more has attempted to build up an A. M. E. Zion church in this city at 28th and Madison, has picked up his bed and walked and the local organization is now a thing of the past. There is no room in this city for two Metmodist churches among the colored folk and it is but wasting the time of all concerned to attempt it. The A. M. E. Bethel church has been established here for many years and when reasonably pastored gets the congregation. It is rumored, however, that Rev. Freeman of this latter church, believing the conference will not return him to the work, has rented the home of Brice Taylor and has moved a part of his family household effects therein and will move himself as soon as he is no longer its pastor. He, it is said, will for a time locate and go into the newspaper business, he having in view the incorporating of the Seattle Searchlight as a weekly publication. The Baptist church has lately called a new pastor, who has already arrived and is now holding a series of meetings. For a year or more there were two Baptist churches in this city, but the members of the two realizing that it was utterly impossible to maintain two consolidated them and now they hope to soon have a splendid congregation every Sunday. The annual association of this state will be held in this city at no very distant date, which will attract a great many visitors thereto. THIRD AVENUE THEATRE OPENS. After a single week of darkness, for the first time since last August, the Third Avenue Theatre, will reopen next Sunday afternoon and the Taylor Company will be seen in a return engagement of several weeks, which will THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN be welcome news to the patrons of the popular uptown play house. Next week they will reproduce three of the plays that they were seen in during the first part of their recent engagement, "Escaped From the Harem" Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, "Queen of the Highway" Wednesday and Thursday, and "The Female Detectives" Friday and Saturday. This will afford a large number of people who did not see the plays when they were produced here before an opportunity to see three splendid melo-dramatic productions. There has been no change in the company and Laurette Taylor and the other favorites will all be seen in the same parts they appeared in before. For the second week of the present engagement they will produce "The Derby Mascott." It was an exhibition of wisdom on the part of the Third Avenue Theatre management in securing the Taylor Company for a return engagement. PERSONAL. The family of Mr. J. P. Ball, with the exception of his older son Robby, is now with him. He hopes to have his new home completed in six weeks. Mr. Andrew R. Black has been invited to deliver an oration at Roslyn August 4th, at the celebration that will be held there by the colored folk on that day. He was also invited to speak at Ravensdale on the same day, but was compelled to decline. Mr. J. E. Hawkins is rapidly improving from his recent illness and will be able to be at his office next Monday unless something unforeseen happens. The report last Friday afternoon that he was dead caused the family much annoyance inasmuch as the phone rang incessantly during the entire evening. If the report was started for a joke it was one of those jokes that a little of it goes a long ways. A Dr. Meriam of Portland has been visiting in Seattle within the past week with the view of locating some time in the near future. Uncle Joe has barrels of money to loan on diamonds, watches and jewelry. Store 517 Second. NOTICE.

To the Editor: Observing your bigraphical sketch of the life of the late Judge Gideon S. Bailey moves me to write this article. Soon after he came to King county I made his acquaintance, and at once was attracted to him for his apparent sterling qualities and his excellent judgment upon matters in general. I soon found that Judge Bailey was not only posted on the current events of the day, but that he was a deep thinker upon all subjects concerning the welfare of the people. He was as patriotic a man as I ever conversed with, and loved his country, for the sake of the country and the people; believing its population to be the best on earth. I loved to talk with him for his views were full of common sense and his conclusions, in my opinion, were always correct. I had abundant opportunity to test this for the space of three months. We were chosen as jurors in the same court and served together for that space of time. I well remember the first case which came before the jury. It was a complicated affair, and the jury was divided into several factions; one after another was called upon by our foreman for an opinion, and the subject of this article was the last one called upon. His was the clearest exposition of the case of any and all others, and after a short deliberation they agreed that the colored man was right, and returned a verdict accordingly. After that he was regarded not THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN opened. You would not get all of the colored trade, but you would get the bulk of it and you would get your share of the white trade. Its the thing to have a nice home, but some times a good business doubly discounts even a home. That penitentiary guard at Walla Walla that lost his job for deserting his wife, first robbing the wife of what money she had, because of his fascination for one Flora Ferguson, a female ex-convict, must have entertained quite different views as to the miscegenation of the white and black folk of this country to those published by the Georgetown News. It was plain to be seen that Flora Ferguson was a Negress. Her African blood was very distinct and yet that guard went crazy over her, gave up his wife, lost his job and finally eloped with a woman, who in common parlance among "poor white trash" was simply a "coon," worse still an ex-convict from the prison, where he was a trusted official. That however, is said cautiously, as it looks very much like the officer had intimately known the woman before she was released from prison. In Seattle Flora Ferguson, as she was known in the concert halls of the tenderloin district, was anything, but an angel. She was the wife of one White, who was a railroad porter on the Northern Pacific, but who is now employed at the depot in Portland, Oregon, and her acts were so generally bad that she finally landed in the state prison.

Cash merely as a Negro, but a man of ripe mind and excellent judgment. If this would have ended here, the jurors would have said it was "a happen so" that he struck the key-note in the case, but his good judgment did not end here. As remarkable as it may appear, during that whole three months there never was a verdict rendered that was not in accordance with his judgment, and after the second case Judge Bailey's opinion was called for first by the foreman. In the death of Gideon S. Bailey a good man has been removed. He cannot be recalled, but his many virtues will live to be followed by others. A. B. BALL, 165 23d Ave. DID YOU KNOW IT? Its rather remarkable that in Seattle, notwithstanding the fact many of the Afro-Americans have splendid homes, not a single one of them is engaged in any kind of business of a commercial nature, not so much as a restaurant, and yet there are constant complaints of members of the race being refused entertainment in some cheap eating joint. God helps those who help themselves and a hint to the wise in this connection should be quite sufficient. There is ample room in Seattle for a restaurant conducted by an Afro-American, for it would get as much white as colored trade, providing always it was conducted on business principles. A lodging house located near the business center conducted by a member of the race would do well from the very day it was Both Phones 949 Established 1888 E. R. BUTTERWORTH & SONS E. R.

FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1905 After all half of the fuss made over the color of one's skin on the part of the white folk of this country is cheap tommyrot, which they use when they can do so to for a financial advantage to themselves. When a man and a woman become enamored with each other the color or nationality of the other has no terrors for neither and they go together. If they do not fear public censure they go together legally, if they are intimidated by public censure they go together illegally and when they are forced to pursue the latter course then those who make and mould public censure and not the couple are responsible for their breaking of both the moral and the state laws.
