EPUBLICA SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Annfield Street. July 4, 1905. Attorney, 602 , Wash., U. S. A. last ultimo to hand Yours truly, JOHN Mac General M --- VOL. XII. NO. 9 POLITICAL POT=PIE "The politician outside of King county that has been led to believe that Congressman Will E. Humphrey will not have a solid delegation from his home county at the next state convention has been grossly deceived," said a prominent politician one day this week [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. WILL E. HUMPHREY and one, who in the past, has not particularly been an enthusiastic Humphrey man. "King county as a county has made no agreement with any other section of the state to the effect that, if she got a United States senator she would not ask for Humphrey's renomination, and it will not be a very wise move on the part of any King county man to attempt to bring about any such results. Will Humphrey will have every delegate from King county to the next state convention, and they will be enthusiasm for his renomination." The Pie-maker heartily agrees with the above statement and wishes to add that it is about time this anti-Humphrey talk be given a black eye. The Republican legislature was pledged to the enactment of certain railway legislation and the legislators fulfilled the pledge accordingly to the wishes of their constituency. The commission law and anti-pass law are both so sound as to be impervious to attack by the most alert leaders of the opposing party. It is a matter of pride to every loyal Republican that these laws, much needed and long demanded by the people, are the fruits of the efforts of a legislative body that was overwhelmingly Republican in its personnel. The people were not betrayed and duty shirked, as by the fusion legislature assembled to right all of the existing evils during the heyday of Populism in 1896. But the work of the Republican party is not yet done. Laws are useless when not properly enforced. The party must see to it that the officers who are paid to enforce these laws are not derelict in their duty. The laws enacted by our state legislatures show for themselves and indicate that about E REPL TLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JULY 28. 1905 the only hope of reform legislation lies with the Republican party. Men who feel deeply on the subject and express their honest sentiments, free from political bias, must admit this to be a fact. But it must not be forgotten that the enactment of railway legislation is only the fulfillment of a part of the duty obligatory upon the party. The railway commissioners must stand for what is right. The people demand it and the pledge must be fairly met. East Washingtonian. Municipal Ownership Corporation of Glasgow Telephone Department. Castle Chambers, 65, Renfield Street. John E. Humphries, Esq., Attorney, 602 Mutual Life Bldg., Seattle, Wash., U. S. A. Dear Sr: Yours of the 21st ultimo to hand this morning. I forwarded to you yesterday some matter relating to the working of this department, as well as other departments of the corporation. The information regarding the telephones I think covers all the points mentioned in your letter received this morning, and if there is any other point which occurs to you and regarding which I am not very explicit I shall be delighted to communicate with you further. With regard to the tramway system, perhaps the chapter in the book on municipal enterprise which accompanied my letter may be of sufficient use. I am, however, asking Mr. Dalrymple, the tramway manager, to forward you a copy of the accounts which will shortly be issued. I note from your letter that your desire is to convince your people that municipalities should own the telephone systems. On that point I have very strong opinions. The telephone is essentially a local institution, it has ceased to be considered a luxury and has now reached the stage when it has become a necessity to the public generally. Being of the nature of a monopoly, it is therefore desirable that the administration of the telephone should be conducted by the representatives of the public. Public administration means cheaper telephones because there are no dividends to pay to the shareholders. Public administration means better telephone services, because the members of the telephone committees are for the most part telephone subscribers. Being in touch with all classes of the community, they are in a position to ascertain the wants and wishes of the public and their desire to stand well with the their constituents naturally causes the members to do their best on behalf of the telephone public. Doubt has been cast upon the ability of a municipal body successfully undertaking a telephone system. The experience in this country has amply demonstrated that the public management of the telephone is a success, notwithstanding the unscrupulous competition and hostile criticism of interested parties to which municipal telephony has been subjected. Another point I might add is the great BLICAN 1905 PRICE FIVE CENTS desirability of the citizens of any town retaining the streets under their own control. In Glasgow the utilization of the streets for the supply of public services has been rigidly retained in the hands of the corporation except to a small extent by the government postoffice for its telegraph lines. This retention of the right to use the streets has always been a cardinal point in the civic administration of this city. The use of the streets is a birthright of the citizens, and as such should not be bartered to enable private enterprise to earn revenue which can be earned by the citizens themselves. I hope I have now given you sufficient information to enable you to pursue your advocacy of municipal enterprise, and I wish you every success in your efforts. Yours truly, JOHN MacFEE, General Manager. Corporation of Glasgow Telephone Department. Castle Chambers, 65, Renfield Street. Glasgow, July 1, 1905. John E. Humphries, Esq., Attorney, 602 Mutual Life Bldg., Seattle, Wash. Dear Sir: Referring to your letter asking for information respecting the telephone system of this city, I have pleasure in sending you by same post a book describing the various municipal departments and undertakings. At page 135 the telephone system is specifically dealt with and the circumstances which led up to the institution of the telephone department. The accounts for the current year will not be ready for a few weeks yet, but I enclose a copy of last year's balance sheet. I would draw your attention particularly to page 5, which indicates the scope of the originally intended scheme and the extent to which the undertaking has been developed. From an engineering point of view, this is important, as it is frequently asserted by hostile critics that the estimates have been greatly exceeded. The enterprise has grown more extensive than was anticipated, due to the enormous demand for telephones during the initial stages of the enterprise, necessitating the departure from the original scheme, and the laying out of a system different in extent and character from the one originally planned. Some of the engineering details shown on the statement are increased from two to six fold. On page 12 you will find a resume of the financial results during the past three years. I observe it has been asserted in American newspapers that the Glasgow municipal telephones are not a success. Anonymous critics and penny-a-liners in this country have done their best to damnify the system, as it is recognized that the success of the telephones in Glasgow would lead to the inauguration of municipal telephones elsewhere. The success of the enterprise can be best gauged by noting the extent it has fulfilled ```markdown ``` the functions for which it was inaugurated. the functions for which it was inaugurated. For some time prior to the institution of this department the Glasgow public suffered from high telephone rates, bad service, and generally indifferent treatment. Even a government inquiry did little to help matters, so the city determined to enter the field and endeavor to provide a system which would be supplementary to the existing one, be cheaper in charges, and thereby extend the uses of the telephone to all classes, at the same time improving the service generally. That these objects have been carried out may be proved by the fact that before the corporation telephones started there were only between 6,000 and 7,000 exchange lines in the city, and now that number is nearly quadrupled. Then the standard rate was $50, in some cases as much as $125 was charged. Now the average cost of an exchange telephone works out about a little over $25; the services throughout the city are satisfactory; the telephone has reached classes hitherto considered outside the scope of telephony—while the subscribers generally possess telephone advantages and receive consideration which were previously undreamt of. To meet the competition of the municipality the National Telephone Company remodeled its system and introduced a number of tariff changes, the lowest of which is $6.50 per annum for a 20-party line, allowing 60 calls per annum. The latter has for the time being caught on with the public and there are now about 7,000 subscribers connected on the $6 system. Whether this will continue in vogue is a matter of doubt, as the system has been installed as a competitive expedient only. The other rates charged by the company are $50 for unlimited service first connection, and $43 for unlimited second connection; measured service telephones can be had for $25 for 60 calls, and $5 for every 60 calls thereafter; a 10-party line is given to the subscribers guaranteeing 4 cents a day, with a minimum of about $41 per annum. The two-party line rates cost $30, and the four-party line $20. The corporation tariff rates are $25 for unlimited service; a measured service at $17 per annum and 2 cents per message; the twoparty line, unlimited service, are charged at $21, and the four-party line at about $16. The total number of telephones included in the corporation system are now about 12,400. I might also mention in contradiction to the wild and random statements which appeared in this country and America that the plant is of first-class quality. The attacks in this regard, and also as regards the estimates, have been carried on by criticies expressly with a view to obscure the real issues. Glasgow has demonstrated the practicability as well as the desirability of each city conducting its own telephone enterprise, and has further shown local administration is more suitable than centralized monopoly. The members of the municipal telephone committees are for the most telephone subscribers and by co-ordinating their knowledge with their knowledge of public administration, they are able to conduct the telephone enterprise with due regard to local requirements and the specific wants of the individual subscribers. The action of the municipality has led to a saving of £90,000 to existing subscribers. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A large number of firms make use of both systems at practically the same rate as they previously paid for one, while the smaller subscribers, by taking party lines, have the facility of both systems for about $22. I hope this information will be of some value to you. Yours truly, JOHN MacFEE, General Manager. TALES OF THE TOWN One Soon Forgotten in Seattle. Austin G. McBride, a very well-known attorney in Seattle, recently returned from Nome, and he had in his possession a nice little exchange draft, which represented his share of the summer clean-up of the mine in which he is a shareholder. When Mack got home and rested up a day, he dropped down to Hoge's bank to get his money. The teller did not happen to know him, which he thought rather strange. Mr. Hoge was appealed to, and he at once recognized him, but when he saw the amount of the draft, Hoge's memory of the man got shakey and he would not be responsible. Just then Mack saw another well-known business man out on the street and called him in to identify him, but this man's memory of McBride was also faulty and he would take no chances. For a few minutes it looked as if ex-Prosecuting Attorney A. G. McBride would have hard work to find a man in Seattle that did really know him but finally John K. Brown came along and had some slight recollection of him, and that, coupled with Hoge's faint remembrance of such a man, succeeded in getting him his money. Now what a busy, bustling town this is when men, who have been as prominent in public affairs for the past 15 years as has been Austin G. McBride, should be entirely forgotten in five years after he retires. For four years he was deputy prosecuting attorney of this county, under John F. Miller, and he was known by every man, woman and child in the county. He has been more or less in the public eye ever since then in his capacity as a practicing attorney, and yet men who have been in business right along in the town where he has operated seem to have entirely forgotten him. It all shows that Seattle is growing so rapidly that even those living within her limits do not realize how fast she is moving along. A Grandstand Play. The local daily papers have had much to say within the past week about George D. Collins, the San Francisco attorney, who jumped his bail and fled to British Columbia and has been ever since fighting extradition on a charge of perjury, which charge is but a subterfuge the California authorities are using to get Collins back to the state, where he can be prosecuted for bigamy, and subsequently where a deserted wife and her brother can enter a multiplicity of law suits against him for having illegally married a young lady of high social standing of the California city. Collins may have committed a crime in his double hymenial escapade, but wife No. 1 and her brother, who are FRIDAY. JULY 28. 1905 seeking to have him extradicted from British Columba, are making fools of themselves in their endeavor to have Collins desert wife No. 2 and go back to wife No. 1's loving arms. Collins, no doubt, broke California's state law, and under some conditions her moral law, but he fled the country, and the time and money that is being expended to get him back are all the same as that much thrown away. Had he remained in the state or the United States, Mrs. Collins No. 1 might have been justified in instituting legal proceedings against him, but when he fled the country he did so to get away from the woman whom he had been claiming as his wife, and the deserted woman should have felt that it was a good riddance of bad rubbish and permitted him to go his way rejoicing, so long as he did not return to the state. The whole affair, to one this far from the scene, smacks of the prosecuting attorney, the woman and her brother all playng to the galleries for political, financial and social effect. Always Keep Good Goods. The tend of the present age in big cities is to support groceries, meat markets, delicatessens, barber shops and numerous other useful necessary businesses in the resident districts. In a town like Seattle such an arrangement or adjudication of affairs is very convenient to local patrons because this is a very widely scattered town. Often one can not get just what he wants from down town at the moment needed without the expense of car fare and the waste of much valuable time. Because of this condition explains why the "resident district store" came into existence. It, in a way, met a necessary want, which it promised to fill. Now, if that want is honestly filled, it's a blessing; if dishonestly filled, it is a curse, and needs either regulation or supervision. There is no reason, with the lower rents and other expense accounts so greatly diminished in favor of the resident district store, why the proprietors of such stores should carry only one class of goods, foods, groceries, fruits and vegetables, but, alack, this is not always the case, and the local customer is given an article for table use that is more suited for the swill barrel than for the dinner table. Now, if this plain statement of facts offends anybody running a so-called "resident district store," it is because such person or persons are palming off third rate and culled-over goods on his patrons for good goods, which, it is hoped by the dealer, will redound to his fame and fortune, rather than to his good name and the good health of his customers. The people are inclined to patronize the local stores, but the local stores should make the same effort to retain their trade as do the great stores down town on the thronged thoroughfares, where competition is keen. *** Seattle's Hilly Hills. Recent report clams that it costs Seattle less to keep her streets clean than it does any other city in the Union.of her size. This is said to be true, owing to the fact that Se- es a ea A OE NL A kA a Fl a a A A a NR ee aT CA FO aA a a a NT a i i a ee ee FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1905. attle owns her own wagons, has abundant water supply, and is so built on hills as to render it extremely economical to sluice or to sweep her thoroughfares. So, as one climbs some of these hlls while the hot sun is beaming on his back he may take comfort in the thought that the immense elevations of land over which he is endeavoring to travel aid in lessening the expense when Seattle ‘‘pays up’’ for her clean streets. Differenct of Opinion. Dr. Woods Hutchinson, secretary of the Oregon board of health, ventured the asser- ton that a peculiar form of galloping tuber- culosis was to be found in this section. This assertion has caused much discussion, not only from the medical men of Washington, but from many outside of the medical cir- cles. It is the concensus of opinion that ow- ing to the dampness of the clmate, the Sound cities are not the most desirable for those who are already affected with tuberculosis, but that the quick forms of it are not com- mon to the section. Many prominent physi- cians claim that the cases are, for the most part, of the lingering kind, and not peculiar to this immediate section. However, the general belief is that improved methods of sanitation will do more toward preventing the disease than any other known thing. He Found the ‘‘Reward.’’ “Honesty is the best poliey,’’ says an old adage, and we quite agree with the adage under ordinary circumstances, but under some circumstances there are those in this world who do not quite agree with ether the adage or the editor of this highly moral sheet. For instance, a man lost a twenty- dollar gold piece in the building which is oceupidd almost exclusively by printers. Now, printers as a rule do not often see that much money all at once, and if one happens to ever see it he never has that amount as his own. Now, doubtless, some of the many printers about the block where the ‘‘dough’’ was lost found the same, and doubtless ten minutes after it had been found the op- pressve heat, which had been terrorizing the boys for a number of days, no longer had any horrors for them, for ice steiners chased the oppressive heat into death valley. In speaking about a reward for the lost twenty, a printer was overheard to remark: ‘‘Re- ward to find and return a twenty! Well, I guess nit! What’s the matter with the twenty for a reward?”’ MORE CONSOLIDATION TALK. Consolidation talk for Seattle and Ballard has taken on a new lease of life and much is being said on that subject just now. The Republican is and has been for lo these mahy months of the opinion it is the proper thing for the two cities to become one, but Ballard, or a part of it at least, does not think well of the propostion and it is presumed the same element that has opposed it in the past will do so now or any time in the near future, hence Seattle had as well make up her mind to wag along without her. The only good THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN so far as Seattle is concerned in the consoli- dation would be to make her a larger city and bring to her a greater number of in- vestors. Then again, if the two should con- solidate the towns would build together in- stead of apart and thereby fill up that great empty space lying between the two places. Consolidation would mean everything for Ballard. She would neither lose anything financially or otherwise, but, on the other hand, would be the beneficiary in every par- ticular. It is claimed that John D. Rockefeller is offering one million dollars for a good stom- ach, and despite the enormous reward he has not succeeded in getting one. Well, the old man has already given ten million dollars for a good conscience, and he, perhaps, has had no better success at getting a good con- science than he has had at getting a good stomach. The appearance of yellow fever in New Orleans this early in the season is, to say the least, very discouraging, in view of the fact that, it requires cold weather to kill the germs and stop its ravages. New Orleans has always been the seat of war for the yel- low fever germ in this country, and from there it has spread out over the country. On previous occasions it has broken out about ths tme, and not beng carefully guarded it slipped out of the old town and in August broke out in other towns north of New Or- leans in the State of Mississippi, and even as high up as Memphis, Tenn. Already Mis- sissippi towns have begun to clean up and get in sanitary condition, hoping thereby to check the disease, if it should happen to break out. Most Southern cities and towns are more or less unsanitary and never think about cleaning up on a wholesale order until this dread disease threatens to become an epidemic. Thousands of dollars were spent by the United States government putting Havana in a sanitary condition, that the yel- low fever germ could be stamped out; which was eminently successful, whle the cities and towns in our own country are neglected or left to the care of the natives of those towns, who are so greatly lacking in energy that the yellow fever always manages to get in and get a strong foothold before any effort is made to prevent its spread. The general government should in the future see to it that every South Atlantic Coast city is put in a perfect sanitary condition every year, and if they are not able to do so them- selves, certain funds should be approprated by Congress to be used in that direction. “Never in the history of Seattle have so many visitors been seen in the city as at present,’’ said a prominent business man one day this week. ‘‘Every hotel and lodging house in the business district is crowded with guests every night, and when one set moves out another is waiting to take their places. In short, Seattle is getting as much or more good from the Portland exposition than Portland herself. Everybody in the East has heard about Seattle, and when they come West they are very desirous of seeng Seat- tle, and they do so. ‘See Seattle,’ is the in- struction given every one who leaves his or her home in the East to visit the fair at Portland, and as a result the hotels, restau- rants and transportation companies on the Sound are reaping a harvest,’’. In talking to General Manager Grant of the Seattle Electric Company one day this week as to the visitors in the city, he sad: ‘‘I never before saw so many strangers in the town sight-seeing. In the past we have run only one ‘sight-seeing’ car over the city and it was not always full, but this season we al- ready have four on the go the most of the day, and they are generally crowded from the time they leave the barn until they re- turn, and it begins to look as though more ears would have to be put on for seeing Se- attle.’? Real estate dealers, while not reap- ing a harvest, are making some excellent deals and laying the foundation with the many strangers that are here from day to day that will result in a big move in the real estate busness in the very near future. While talking to a coterie of life insurance agents in Milwaukee a few days ago, Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme court paid his respects to the ‘‘grafter,’’ and it was a scathing one. Such a lecture is need. ed just now all over this country, but it is especally needed in Wisconsin, where the grafter seems to have grown great on the fat of the land without working for what he got. The judge spoke as follows: “This has been a year which may be char- acterized as one of great insurance up- heaval. The result has been prejudicial to the interest of a certain company and also to the interests and business of others. I be- lieve this will result in great benefit to n- surance throughout the world. “The moment private pecuniary gain is sought through the advantage of a trust some one is guilty of grafting: ‘There was never a truer saying than that by Grover Cleveland, that a publie office is a public trust. There is today so much graft- ing going on among public officials as to startle us. I am not speaking now about the coarser kind of grafting, such as buying votes, paying money, ete., which we all con- demn. I have reference to the more insd- ious ways that the one holding public office is carrying on the duties of that office with an eye to his trust, prostituting that office for his own gains or the gain of his own ends. “Take the president of the United States. Along in the winter Santo Domingo put it- self on a financial footing. Suppose the presi- dent had acted secretly and advised his friends to buy up Santo Domingo bonds. wouldn’t that shock the people of the coun- try? Yet the government would lose noth- ing and some would be private gainers. Sup- pose the United States supreme court jus- tices would give out information in advance of certain decisions. Would not you revolt at such a transaction? It would be un- worthy—this would be grafting.”’ The Seattle Republican Established May, 189 H. R.

SEE SEATTLE In the death of Daniel Lamont, Democracy of this country sustains a severe loss and plutocracy has been struck a most dangerous blow. The Chicago teamsters' strike has been declared off, the teamsters losing completely. Right occasionally prevails and this is one of the times. It is claimed that 20,000 persons visited the Minnesota last Sunday. The Minnesota is but another offspring of the Seattle spirit, and the parents went to see their own. A Fairbanks jail bird learned that an uncle had died in Australia and left him a fortune and he was immediately released by the authorities and sent in quest of the "dough." Down in Tennessee three Negroes were legally hanged last week, so say dispatches from that state. We are curious to learn whether or not they were legally convicted, for there must have been some illegal transaction there. The P.-I. speaks of McNamara, the bartender who all but murdered Officer Jacobs, as a "plug ugly." There seems to be no doubt of the fact that he was quite ugly at the time and that he put a plug in his victim that will hold him for a while. If it be true that "spring wheat is badly damaged," there is danger of the farmers in Eastern Washington not making more than a hundred thousand dollars apiece this year. That would be an awful calamity, but they might be able to live a littel while on that sum. Secretary Bonepart is so proud of his new role that he signs his name in full on every occasion. After one season's rush during which time he will not be able to do but little else than sign his name, it will be a pleasure to him to have the other fellow sign it. The reign of terror in Fairbanks, Alaska, seems to have existed only in the black-face editorials of the Seattle Times, but such reports are nothing unusual to the times for, if the reader remembers, the Times declared that McKinley, if elected, would declare himself a tyrant. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN With the "Roosevelt" as a safety reserve, Commodore Peary has started North in search of the north pole. Roosevelt has been quite a charm in past, and it may be that with him as a safety the terrors of the North can be overcome and Peary will return home with a piece of the famous pole dangling at his belt. No, Seattle has no Boosters' Club aside from the busy, bustling crowds that are seen on her streets 24 hours each day, but returning visitors from the Lewis and Clark Exposition see in Seattle what they have seen in no other city in the West, and that is a big enough Booster Club to catch capitalists desirous of investing in a live town. The man who permits himself to be photographed in a golf suit that his picture may appear in some newspaper reminds us of the fop who goes up and down a street like a jumping-jack, holding his gloves in his hands instead of wearing them on his his hands. The lunatic asylum is the correct place for all such noncompoops. Six months in the county jail and $1,000 fine is the judgment of the court for Senator John H. Mitchell, of Oregon, who was recently found guilty of using his official position to defraud the government. Is it possible that men of honor, fame and fortune, "white men," the highest type of the genus homo, the shining lights of the world, would stoop to such a low petty thievery? Two United States senators now stand convicted of this crime and yet there is not a Negro a member of that august assembly. Whither are we drifting and what are we coming to? When the owner of a newspaper loses his temper because some one intimates or tells him outright that he, the owner, did not or could not write the article appearing in his paper, he plainly shows that he is a very weak sister. In this age and generation it is the man who is shrewd enough to make sufficient money to hire his talent, that is considered the really successful man. Would to God we were able to hire the kind of talent that we would like for The Seattle Republican and we would have a weekly paper that would be read from coast to coast and from the lakes to the gulf. The Associated Press is responsible for the statement that, the upper crust of society is highly incensed at one Nic Chiles, a Negro, for buying a home in the immediate neighborhood of Gov. Hoch. What in the devil has the upper crust of society got to do with where Chiles or anyone else buys a home just so the buyer attends strictly to his or her own business and does not disturb the neighbors. Negroes who conform to the customs of their neighbors are as much entitled to buy homes where it suits them to, providing they have the necessary cash, as the whitest and best white man in the world, and when they buy they usually make just as good citizens as the whitest and the best white man in the world. FRIDAY. JULY 28. 1905 PREJUDICE AGAINST THE JEWS The United States is the last place on the globe where prejudice of race should exist in obnoxious form, because the people of the United States are notoriously mongrel in their ethnic composition, a compound of every sort of people on the globe, and because we make offensive boast of the democratic character of our institutions and the fulness of our education and Christian brotherhood. We carry this boast around the globe, wherever an American travels. We have seen it exhibited obtrusively and offensively in China, Japan and the Philippines by Americans, who treated with contempt and disdain the natives of the country of which they were for the moment guests. Indeed, instead of being the most cultured and refined people on the globe, it is a safe conclusion that the American people are among the most coarse, vulgar and conceited, at home and abroad. They are so free in their thought and action that they do not think that others have just right to be free at all, and they act as they think. Prejudice against the Jews in the United States is almost as general and persistent as it is against the Afro-American people; but it is displayed less, because the Jews are among the wealthy people of the country and know how to advance themselves by properly directing their wealth against those who offend them. A. T. Stewart and his estate wtre in this way made to lose millions of dollars, because the Jews were told that they were not wanted in the Stewart hotels at Saratoga Springs. A correspondent, evidently a Jew, writing in the New York Sun, complains that many hotels are announcing in their summer publications that Jewish patrons are not desired. He does a powerful lot of kicking, and we do not blame him, as hotels are public places of accommodation and should not be allowed to discriminate against patrons on account of race. Character and deportment alone should be the tests. Race prejudice in the United States is doomed to eat grass. CORRUPTION IN PUBLIC LIFE Jackson (Miss.) News. There is an old saying which many have denied, that every man has his price, but the disclosures that are being made from time to time in this country, have proved to many, that the saying is a true one. The News does not hold this theory. It believes that there are just as many honest men in the world now as there was a hundred years ago, but it believes that the increase in population has largely increased the grafters. If there is any one thing that the American people have to fight and fight hard, it is grafting. If grafting is not put down, we can expect that this country will go on the toboggan. No real progress towards things that are higher can be made while men in business life and men in public office are grafters. Grafting has sprung up on all sides of us just now.

We sce the trusts and big corpora- tions buying city councils and legislatures, as if they were so much merchandise. The men who do the buying-are high up in the social seale, they are men who profess the belief in the teachings of the lowly Nazarine, but they do not hesitate to approach a poor devil of a legislator or a councilman, who has not one spare dollar, and who is prob- ably in debt, to sell out his honor and the interests of his constituents, and for what purpose? Why, in order that big business corporations may amass greater amounts of money, pay their stockholders higher divi- dends and become the masters of the city or state. The heads of these corporations are apparently more willing to buy up the mem- bers of a city council or a state legislature than they are to pay the people as a whole for the privileges they seek. In discussing this question of graft, we are liable to vent all of our contempt on the poor wretch who has been caught selling his honor than we are to condemn the big business man, who free from want and care, with his millions invested in splendid paying securities, sur- rounded by all that money can buy and so- cial distinction confer, has deliberately gone to work to tempt a poor man who is strug- gling and who happens to have been elected to some publie office of honor and trust. This man is a worse grafter than the man who sells his vote. There may be some hu- man exeuse for the councilman selling his vote, if viewed in the light of merey, but there is none for the rich man who has been his downfall. He bought him in order that he might get something of value cheaper by corrupt methods than he could get by bar- gaining with the representatives of the peo- ple on a basis of the public good. In the South we are pretty free from graft, but as we become wealthier, and our re- sources are exploited to a greater extent, we ean expect that there will be more or less of this sort of thing in our own section. The only way that it ean be put down is for pub- lie opinion to come down as hard on the bribe giver as the bribe taker. GROWTH OF CLASS PRIVILEGES IN THE UNITED STATES. (By Professor W. E. B. Dubois, Atlanta Uni- versity.) No sooner does the virus of caste distine- tion penetrate a nation’s vitals than good and evil in that nation come to be judged from the point of view of the PRIVILEGED elasses alone. Particularly is this altered viewpoint noticeable in the United States in matters of education. How shall the chil- dren of servants be trained? Once we said, as men; now we whisper, AS SERVANTS, and then we shall have better service. How shall the children of mechanies be trained? As carpenters, we are beginning to think, and then we shall have better houses. This logie seems sound, and it is sound if house service and houses are the SOLE OB- JECTS OF NATIONAL LIFE, but are they? It is perfectly obvious to ¢he mistress that good house service is sadly. needed, but is it so obvious to the servant that HER life’s horizon should be limited to the combing of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN an old woman’s hair? It is true that you want good houses in which to enjoy life, but has the artisan no right to some enjoyment of life outside the privilege of building houses FOR YOU? Here lies the eternal danger of class hierarchy and caste—a dan- ger which in the past has ruined lives, over- turned governments AND BURIED CIVI- LIZATIONS. Today this noxious weed is springing up in America, right here in a land founded as A MIGHTY PROTEST against such world foolishness. It is allowed to grow but sligthly molested, because its victims today are largely black people. But let us not be lulled by this fact into false se- eurity. THE NEGRO PROBLEM IS BUT THE SIGN OF GROWING CLASS PRIVILEGE AND CASTE DISTINCTION IN AMERICA AND NOT, AS SOME FONDLY IMAGINE, THE CAUSE OF IT. FARRELL QUITS GREAT NORTHERN. Many men who have been identified with the workings of J. D. Farrell since he has been connected with the Great Northern in- terests in this section of the country will regret to learn that he has tendered his resignation to take immediate effeet and pro- poses to retire from active business life, and yet if those very persons regretting his move would consider for a minute they would have to admit he is doing the sensible thing, for in the service he has amassed a fortune and, it too often happens, that men do not know when they have enough of a good thing and they hold on until they either go broke financially or physically, and the one is just as fatal as the other. Much has been said about Mr. Farrell’s rise from a section hand to the second in authority in the Jim Hill system and that too without the aid of money furnished him by some relative, but he richly merited every point he gained step by step in reaching the top. In J. D. Far- rell the corporation kings found a man in whom they could and did place implicit con- fidence, a man who had no feelings in the world for the man who did the manual labor for the system, a man who did not leave a stone unturned to bring one more dollar to the tills of the corporation for whom he was working, and such a man to the latter day soulless corporation king or captain of in- dustry is priceless, hence his rapid rise in railroad work can be readily explained. In polities as in railroad work Mr. Farell was an iceberg, and not only an iceberg, but never swerved one iota from his fixed pur- pose, and that fixed purpose was always the taking care of the railroad interests. No aspirant for public office could run the gauntlet, which he carefully guarded, un- less he was right on the railroad question, but he was paid and paid well to do all of these things and he but showed how true he is to a trust, when he carried out his obli- gations to the letter. As a private citizen The Republican is of the opinion J. D. Far- rell will make one of the best ever in the Northwest. The railroads have done the nice thing by him, which is something unusual for corporations, for he has been permitted to lay by a fortune as his share of the great work he has done for corporations since he has been at the head of the Great Northern. RESOLUTIONS OF CONDO LENCE. To W. M. Wardens and Brothers of Inland Empire Lodge: I beg leave to submit, in reference to the deceased brother, G. S. Bailey, Seattle, Wash., the following: Whereas, It has pleased the Almighty God in His wise providence to remove from this transitory existence and our Sovereign Grand Lodge and Mystic Circle our dear beloved and much needed Brother Bailey on July 2, 1905. Whereas, In the death of Brother Bailey, a family circle has been deprived of a loving father and a kind husband; also a loyal and virtuous citizen, and in his death the lodge has lost its wisest counsel and most earnest co-worker; therefore be it Resolved, That we, the members of Inland Empire Lodge, bow in humble submission to the call and plans of the Almighty God, from whose just decree no one can appeal. Trusting that the true life of our deceased brother will be the uplifting of our race and order. Resolved, That in the death of Brother Bailey the lodges, Grand and subordinate, have lost one of the brightest stars from its great and grand circle. He loved his lodge as a mother loves her children; his life was gentle and the elements were so fixed in him that nature might stand up to all the world and say this is a man and a Mason; and in the language of this verse: Peaceful be thy silent slumber Peaceful in the grave, so low, Though no more shall join our number; Though no more our songs shall sing; Yet again we hope to meet thee, When the day of life has fled, Then in heaven with joy to greet thee, Where no farewell tears are shed. Resolved, That we wish to mingle our tears and sympathies with his bereaved family, and especially his sorrowing wife, may God's blessing comfort her in her desolation. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the bereaved family, a copy to our Grand Master, and another copy to be pleaced upon the minutes of the lodge. Offered by CROCKETT ROSE, D. D. G.

ROSSMAN & JOHNSON, Attorneys for Plaintift. Office and postoffice address, 300 and 301 Pacific Block, Seattle, Wash BAPTIST CONVENTION IN SESSION. The Negro Baptist convention of the State of Washington assembled at Everett last Thursday and was in session until Sunday evening. There were present in the neighborhood of fifty regular delegates and a great deal of routine church business was attended to during the term. Delegates from Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Roslyn, Ravensdale, Newcastle, Bellingham and Everett representing organizations at all of those points were present and took an active part in the proceedings. The vote for the selection of officers for the ensuing year resulted in the election of Rev. J. B. Beckham, Spokane, president; Rev. J. W. Wiggins, Seattle, first vice president; Rev. Samuel A. Franklin, Newcastle, second vice president; Rev. F. J. Davidson, Tacoma, secretary; Rev. J. F. Fortson, Tacoma, state missionary; Mr. John R. Hawkins, South Tacoma, president of the Sunday school department; Mrs. A. R. Travis, Seattle, president of the work for women. The association went on record as opposing divorces excepting those applied for on scriptural grounds. The Baptist connection among the Negroes of the state has a membership of about 300. The churches at the various points were reported in as prosperous conditions as could be under the circumstances. The leading churches in the connection are at Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and Roslyn. It was decided THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN that the association would meet next year at Tacoma in the Mt. Olivet Baptist church. The Odd Fellows of this city are preparing to give a picnic the 4th of August at Leschi Park. The A. M. E. Sunday school gave a moonlight picnic last Thursday evening which was well attended. Miss Alma Clark and Miss Georgia Selby were among the Seattle folk that attended the association at Everett. Mrs. Wm. Bagley and daughter and Mrs. Barnett left Wednesday for a week's visit in Seattle and Everett. Cascade (Roslyn) Miner. Mr. J. G. Gales has been appointed commissioner by Gov. Albert E. Mead for the state of Washington of the Fred Douglas Exposition, which it is proposed to hold at Buffalo, New York, in 1906. Mr. John R. Hawkins, of South Tacoma, and Rev. F. J. Davidson, of Tacoma, stopped over in Seattle last Monday on their return from Everett, whither they had been attending the Negro Baptist Association of this state.

Miss Thwaits is a splendid artist at covering the defects of the ladies and she is finding plenty of victims in her new home. Miss Nellie Banks, one of the successful teachers of Kansas City, Mo., is visiting in the city with Mrs. Robinson and her sisters and Mrs. Shelton, all of whom once lived in Kansas City and are well acquainted with Miss Banks. She is en route to the Lewis and Clark Exposition and desired to see Seattle and former friends before returning home. The Portland Advocate warns its lady Afro-American readers about loitering on the streets and concludes by saying, "there is altogether too much of such practices carried on by our women folk and it should be nipped in the bud," or words to that effect. What's true of Portland along this line is also true of most towns and cities. Just why young colored women and men desire to make their social calls on the public streets has always been a very perplexing question. Ladies should never stop to talk to a gentleman acquaintance on the street. If she meets a friend or an acquaintance and if he desires to talk with her on any subject let him turn and walk up the street with her until they have finished their conversation. Only a slight recognition should be expected of a lady when she meets even a gentleman friend on the street, to say nothing of a slight acquaintance. Peoples' Savings Bank Second and Pike.
