SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XII. NO.10 TALES OF THE TOWN And Yet There's Money in Hosiery. During the races J. B. MacDougal, the well known dry goods merchant, was a frequent visitor at the Meadows and seemed to enjoy the fun as well as the crowds that were always present and taking a chance at putting a dollar in the pool, trusting to get at least ten dollars in return, which they seldom ever did. One day while waiting for the races to begin, MacDougal sat talking to a friend and, naturally enough, the conversation drifted into a discussion of the profit and loss in the dry goods business. In singling out the things on which good money was made, Mr. MacDougal emphatically declared, "There is no money in hosiery," and went on to explain why there was not. But before the conversation had been completed the first race was on and the betting got lively. Near the brace of business men sat a rather fastidious woman, who seemed to be as modest as a basket of chips, but the prancing steeds excited her nerves and she soon picked a winner and lost no time in getting her money in action that she could make her trip to the races profitable as well as enjoyable. Quicker than a flash she yelled for a boy, and down she went to her stocking, pulling out a roll of bills that would have made a faro bank dealer look like two bits with a hole in it, and soon she had backed her judgment with her money. The other fellow looked at Mac and said: "I thought you told me but a moment ago there was no good money in hosiery?" "There is always an exception to every rule, but I would not advise you to go into those hose looking for either good or bad money," came from MacDougal. It was, however, one on the dry goods prince, and the two lost no time as soon as the racers had come in in getting downstairs where all mistakes are cheerfully drowned. A New Marrying Bureau Four shotgun weddings have been reported by the prosecuting attorney's office for the past week. In other words, four young men who had trifled with young women's hearts and succeeded in dragging them to ruin under the guise of love, were forced to either marry the girls or be sent to the penitentiary for a number of years, or take a chance of getting light holes blown through them by their enraged parents and relatives. The industry of leading young women to ruin on the part of gay young men is becoming altogether too common and should be squelched out immediately, if not sooner. A few years ago the industry of old men carnally knowing little girls, some not more than 10 years of age and others not yet over the age of consent, became quite common, and before it received a severe set-back a number of old whelps and reprobates had been given 20 and 25 years in the state penitentiary. God intended men and women for SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1905 each other, but He did not intend men to make criminals out of themselves and wretches out of the women, and He laid down a great moral law governing such associations, and the man who wilfully violates His moral law should be severely punished by the statutory law of the land. It is very doubtful if even marrying a wronged woman compensates her for the wrong or expiates the man's crime, but marrying her is better than leaving her to drift through the world with the mark of shame on her face. Prosecuting Attorney Macintosh is giving such gay lotharios all they need, and his actions are meeting general public approval. Why Man Gives Up His Seat. There are those who say that a man who will not give up his seat in a street car to a lady is a human hog. But sometimes I have my doubts about it. I have seen ladies(?) take the seat of a tired, worn-out man without as much as a thank you. I have seen women accompanied by two or more kids who have allowed the aforesaid youngsters to spread themselves over as many seats, while men, foot-sore and stiff, swayed on the straps. There are ladies for whom it is a pleasure for even a tired man to give up his seat, and there are those whom it is positively a shame for a man to be deprived of comfort for. It depends a great deal on the woman whether or not a man should give up his seat, no matter what may be said on the subject.—Yerkes. Generally speaking, the lady for whom "it is a pleasure for even the tired man to give up his seat to" is some pretty girl, dressed in the height of fashion, who looks at her victim on entering the car with a beaming countenance and smiling lips, gives him the idea that, she think, "he is the only man in all the world for her." The fellow, forgetful of his "tired feeling," clutches for the strap in the top of the car and bowing like a society ape at a kangaroo ball at the fair one with "take my seat, it's a pleasure." The girl who has done nothing but eat ice cream and suck bon bons all day takes the seat, smiles again with thanks. Then the fellow goes on the outside of the car to watch her from afar, under the belief that he has made a great hit with her. Had Red Hair Only. The latest thing in the shape of an Irish story is being told by Dr. Allen P. Mitten, the deputy customs collector of this port. You may have heard it, but perhaps the other fellow has not, so here goes: "An Irishman just from Dublin wanted to become a naturalized citizen, and with that on his mind, went to a judge to 'be born again,' as it were. 'Have you ever read the Constitution?' asked the judge. 'Naw,' promptly came from the would-be American citizen. 'Have you read the Bible?' again quizzed the judge. 'Naw,' as abruptly came from the Irishman without qualifications. With a puzzled look on his face, the judge, in des- BLICAN 4, 1905 PRICE FIVE CENTS APR 29 1952 AN FIVE CENTS peration, again asked, 'Then what have you read?' 'I have red hairs on the back of my nack, your honor, please.' The answers were not very satisfactory, but the Mick is all the same doing duty as a policeman.' The story was told for the benefit of ex-Gov. John H. McGraw, and he seemed to have enjoyed it hugely. Sack and Trousers Mixed. A man of Southern birth and training was telling a crowd of admirers one day this week of an amusing incident that came under his observation while he was in the South, and as usual a Negro was the amusing incident. The story is worth repeating and runs like this: "There was a certain Negro on a farm who was inclined to run about a great deal at night, which, of course, meant that he was very sleepy-headed. One morning he was called by the overseer for work. He did not get up at once as he should have and was soon as sound asleep as he should have been at midnight. The other hands had all gone. The place of work was fully two miles from home. It was cotton picking time and early rising at that season was common. When the man did not show up the overseer passed along again and made another vicious yell for him. In a frightened condition, he jumped out of bed and snatched up, as he thought, his cotton sack, and after running the entire two miles, discovered on arriving at the cotton field, that he had an old pair of trousers instead of his cotton sack, hence he was compelled to return to his quarter house for his sack and a thrashing as well." --- "That's pretty good," said a Northern man of the admiring group, "but I have just returned from Enumclaw, a King county town, where Judge Griffin lived for a great many years, where he was storekeeper, postmaster and general information bureau for that community. When the judge lived up there and was postmaster the trains were very irregular, and it kept him up a great deal of his time to get the town mail on the passing trains. He slept over the postoffice and when the train was late at night he did not pull off his clothes, but lay across his bed with the mail sack at his side, and when the engine whistled for Enumclaw he got up and jumped out of the window and ran to the station and hung his mail sack on the arm, which would be snatched aboard by the mail clerk without the train stopping. One evening Mr. Griffin had been repairing his Sunday trousers while waiting for the train. As usual the train was late and soon he had fallen asleep. The whistle in the course of time awoke him, and, snatching his mail sack in the darkness, made a bold rush for the depot. He hung his mail sack in its accumstomed place and in a few minutes more was undressed and snoring away in his little bed. The next morning he had no sooner opened his eyes --- ```markdown ``` Sack and Trousers Mixed. Griffin's Sunday Britches. a ara DAE ey ebay wes when he saw his mail sack by his bed. He was bewildered for a few minutes. Had he simply dreamed he had taken the mail to the train? But soon it all dawned upon him. He had taken his ‘Sunday britches’ to the train instead of the mail sack, and the train not stopping at the depot, was five miles away, perhaps, before the error was detect- ed. It is not recorded whether or not he went to church the following Sunday, as those were times when Arthur Griffin did not number his dollars in the six figures, as he now does.”’ He Kissed a Cow. “That train on whieh Judge Griffin’s trousers were takenaway andthe mistake not being discovered before it was five miles away, reminds me of an incident in Kansas some years ago, when trains first made their ap- pearance on the prairies,’ said one of the group of story tellers. ‘‘A young traveling salesman, who was not accustomed to trains pulling out on time, went leisurely down to the depot chatting with his best girl, and his very heart seemed to be in every word he said, which is very characteristie of the aver- age traveling salesman. He stepped aboard of the train, which was in the act of pulling out, and he busied himself putting down his grips and getting the proper erimp in his face to bid his lady-love farewell, and after doing that, he turned to kiss her good-bye, and, to his surprise, so he himself declared, he kissed a cow five miles in the country. His girl took serious exceptions to his abrupt manner of leaving without so much as wais- ing a tra-la to her, and when he returned she refused to even speak to him. The young fellow may have had trousers to wear to ehurch the following Sunday, but he did not have any nice young girl to admire them, and so he, too, had troubles of his own.”” Jack Chesterfield will doubtless — be granted a pardon, nit, by the governor of this state, We suggest that Jack be given another dynamite cap and encouraged in trying to blow himself out of jail through the iron bars, and he would cease to be of trouble to the community. Sixty-eight years ago today England emancipated her West Indies slaves, which sounded the death knell to American Negro slavery, and no wonder the Negroes of ‘this country are inelined to celebrate the oc- ¢asion and keep its memory green. It was Wilberforce that led the fight for the emanu- mission of the slaves, and the Negroes of this country have rightfully dedicated one of their most important colleges of learning to his memory. Mississippi has four colleges supported by the state—three for while students, and one (Aleorn College( for Negro students. The appropriation by the legislature for the three white colleges for the years 1904-5 was $573,- 760. The appropriation for the one Negro college (Alcorn) was only $51,184. Most of this allowance to the Negro college comes from the United States government. Every year a large part of the money allowed for the Negro college is returned to the state treasury by the white trustees. Henee, Al- corn costs the state very little, if anything. — Vieksburg Light. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN YERKES’ SOUR MASH. I am not very high up in the seale of knowledge when it comes to the timber in- dustry. A friend of mine once said that I would never be indicted for stealing govern- ment timber, and while I was pleased at the compliment at the time it has since struck me that he might have meant that the work of stealing timber was too heavy for me. Therefore, I do not know how long a shin- gle-weaver has to work at his trade before he can weave a shingle. Nor do I know whether or not the mills out here weave anything else. All I know about the lumber business is that they take a log in out of the wet: the head sawyer looks at it ‘‘scowise’’ like a hungry hen stalking a June bug in the wet grass; lays it out in his mind like a woman negotiating for a remnant at the Bon Marche —and euts it up into full breadths, sleeves, yokes, collars, cuffs and belts, ete., at a glanee. Then the bark is remoyed and the dogs set upon it. These dogs and these barks are in no way related. I am not de- seribing a factory for the creation of ‘red- hots.’ In about a minute there is not enough of the dog left to make slats for a hen coop. The way logs are turned into houses that rent for cash—providing they are flats and the family is out of children—makes even a “booze broker’’ selling fair beer in the Union block under the Union Restaurant near the Union Depot feel that his is not the means of getting easy money. I know men without energy enough to get up and make the kitchen fire, who have made a brown stone front, an automobile and an outo boat out of timber—and stole it at that. It used to make me sad and re- proach myself when I saw a common timber ‘The “Derby Mascot,” the play that the Chas. A. Taylor, New York com- pany, is presenting at the Third Av- enue Theater this week, contains ful- ly as much artistic merit as any of its numerous predecessors that has been given by the company during the eight weeks’ engagement, closing to- night, The “Derby Mascot” is a vivid picture of Southern life; it contains the romantic hero, the deep-dyed vil- lain, the faithful sweetheart, and, best of all, the self-sacrificing fidelity on the altar of friendship; in fact, the “Derby Mascot” runs almost the en- tire gamut of human passion, and leaves the auditor better for having seen the play, besides having been well amused for two hours and a half. Next Week the Taylor Company will produce at the Third Avenue, com- mencing Sunday afternoon, a “proh- lem play,” i. e., the author’s idea of a problem. The title is “Stolen by Gip- sies,” but it deals with a nelement of thought never before introduced into a play; the transmigration of souls. and one who has witnessed Mr. Tay- lor’s numerous plays given at the Third Avenue Theater will readily recognize how romantic a play it would be possible for such a prolific author to involve from such a theme, FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1905. thief stopping at the best hotels and having his sent up to his room. But since some of our statesmen have been made to dance like a turkey on a hot griddle, the simple life and Arbuekle’s coffee looks good to me. On the other hand—if the millman is for- tunate enough to have another hand—the sawmill business has its drawbacks, or in other words, its failure to drawbacks at just the right moment. As a result, the average sawinill town is populated by a citizenship which has to take an oath or a drink with just one finger. The reason I could not get a large list while running a paper at Bal- lard, was because so many were unable to subscribe for it—being bereft of fingers suffi- cient to hold a pen. So many fingers in a sawmill town are contributed to the exigen- cies of the profession. Indeed, it is not con- sidered professional for a man to work full- handed in a sawmill. He must feet the teeth of the saw and leave from two to four fin- gers to be swept up by the janitor, as evi- dence of good faith. There are mill owners who would not hire a man who could count on his fingers. A railroad man, who has on a pinch, given up a thumb in the interest of the preferred stockholder, can get work in a mill. It makes the average mill owner nervous and expect- ant to see a man with his hand full of fin- gers squaring himself at a circular saw. He sees before him a damage suit that will keep some promising young barrister hope- ful for a year. He sees the lawyer filing complaints when he should be filing saws. Then, too, there is the danger of interrupt- ing business. It is extremely irritating to have to shut down the engine in order to ex- trieate a knot sawyer from the teeth of a saw that was installed more particularly for the mastication of our natural fir—Yerkes. ie teyes Rhee ; Ae it a ay { Seema ines esa REBAR tS t SS Be pe Ga ae ee fo “a7 Caco yea og . + .

Humphries.) THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN coming election, let these electors whom the corruptionists are afraid to trust, scan the character and record of every man for office, and by their ballot and their influence say that no man who while in office has used transportation passes, can occupy a seat in the city council, in the mayor's office, in the corporation counsel's office, in the legislature, in the halls of congress, or in any other public office within the gift of the people. The man who is so selfish, so grouty, and so weak as to accept their gifts for official force is too weak to represent the electors in the Republican form of government. Weed them out; and in the city of seattle have suits brought against each and every one of them to recover back their salaries and give it to the public. Let them look for their pay to the octopus whose servants they have been. LAWSON IN THE WEST Lawson's tour of the West has had a useful effect—even if in no other way, yet in dissipating that general feeling of uncertainty regarding his good faith, which the "System" has industriously and somewhat successfully fostered. The newspaper reports of his speeches have been so farcical that if it had been necessary to depend upon them Lawson would have gained nothing by his trip. But thousands who met him and listened to him are now in a state of mind to respect his motives as well as to welcome his revelations; and, slowly now doubt, but inevitably, their assurances among their friends will counteract the work of garbled and colored press dispatches, with a people with whom the news reporting system of this country is already thoroughly discredited. A comparison for instance, of his speech at the Jefferson club in Chicago with the newspaper reports of it could hardly fail to shock the most unsophisticated apologist for the "System." At any rate, those who heard the speech realize, as never before, the usefulness of Lawson's work, and acknowledge, though never before, the genuineness of his purpose. Lawson's personality is agreeably disappointing. Although one would readily recognize him from his printed portraits, the "sportiness" of most of those reproductions is lacking. His face and natural pose are those of a man who could go through all he has described in his magazine articles, and who could grit his teeth and do it if challenged by circumstances, yet who could afterward describe it and denounce it not only with the appearance of candor and sincerity which has characterized his Everybody's articles, but with candor and sincerity in fact. His Chicago speech was excellent both in matter and form. Without any affectation of oratory, or strain after momentary effect or any sort, it was a talk rather than a speech; and it held a large audience for two hours at midnight. Like his magazine articles, his speech revealed but little compared with its length, of the rascalities of the "System;" but, also like his magazine articles, it wove what he did reveal into the web of a general story of high finance so fittingly as to make the whole recital intensely interesting, and so conspicuously as to emphasize the dangerous criminality of the "System." And it disclosed better than his magazine articles have done, the thread of a true economic philosophy, the end of which he may or may not see; while, even more than either his magazine articles or his personality, it has left behind an impression of profound sincerity. Then his revelations began. Whoever imagines that Lawson has revealed nothing of importance, hos but to read the June and July installments of his magazine articles. Whoever doubts the truth of his story, has only to turn back to his insurance revelations of nine months ago and compare them with the denials that were spread broadcast then and the disclosures as to the Equitable which are spreading themselves broadcast now. During all that time Lawson stood as a state's witness exposing co-criminals. But it was as a state's witness well corroborated by circumstances, by the suspicious conduct of his betrayed associates, by the fact that his accusations could be refuted by public documents and by public officials if false, and by the rottenness that soon began to ooze out of the System and into plain sight. The good folks in our midst had a right at that time to regard him with repulsion, not to say distrust, if they wished, and to gather in the hems of their garments lest his touch contaminate them. But even then, in the attitude merely of a state's witness "giving away his pals," Lawson was better than the pals he was giving away. He, at any rate, was assaulting the System by means of hich the crimes had been committed, while they were oiling its bearings for further piratical use.—The Public. Mr. Harriman is correct, there are too many newspaper reporters, but the too many are of the kind that keep their hands out for a cut, when they see men like Harriman robbing the public, if they will keep still. There are altogether too few newspaper reporters that will report the unadulterated facts to the papers for which they report, and altogether too few newspapers that will publish the facts when the reporter correctly reports. This is the age of graft and men like Harriman encourage grafting reporters and newspapers by paying them hush money that they can the more easily steal a whole community.

We fear the Boosters' Club in Tacoma has lost its most valuable ally in the killing of gambling. "Joys of country life" sounds nice to the wealthy city chap, but the children of the farmers are still rushing to town. John Paul Jones' body may be in the hands of his friends, but it took his friends a devil of a long time to find out that they were his friends. A few more shotgun weddings in Seattle and unscrupulous men will come to the conclusion that women have rights that men are bound to respect. There is enough monkeying being done with the Third avenue regrade to build a city. Is there an ulterior cause for all this hanging fire? Gambling is receiving a rather hard jolt in Pierce county just now, which does not meet the approval of the Perkins Press. Does it mean money out, Sammy? Peace negotiations between Japan and Russia will begin this week and, if Russia's envoy's prediction counts for anything, it will also end this week. Forty-year franchises are not being given out to any kind of a corporation very rapidly just now. There is altogether too much municipal ownership talk in circulation. Engineer Wallace quit a government job to accept a bigger salary from a private concern, while Elihu Root quit a private concern to accept a smaller salary by forty times over from the government. Next Friday The Seattle Republican will issue a very handsome Lewis and Clark Exposition number, styled Greater Seattle. The number will be devoted solely to the boosting of Seattle and King county. Mrs. D. Latham, the Spokane fire-fly, has flown to parts unknown and is now somewhere in the fastness of the mountains, and that too all alone. The new woman is in this instance certainly at the front. If you will call up Main 305, Mr. Attorney, the management of The Seattle Republican will come immediately to your THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN office for that legal notice you have for publication, and quote you good rates for the same. That thirteen-year-old girl who committed suicide in North Yakima because she was guilty of forging her mother's name to a check seems to have followed in the footsteps of her father, who committed suicide about a year ago. The electric car line in West Seattle only charges two and a half cents a fare, and it saved a snug little sum of money out of its last month's earnings for a sinking fund. Who said the country is not ripe for municipal ownership? Now that it has become popular to close up gambling it strikes us that Sheriff Smith might pay his respects to the town of Georgetown, which is said to foster some of the most notorious gambling dens this side of hades itself. The daily press is of the opinion that the Spokane grand jury will return true indictments against a number of the city and county officials of that county within the next few days. Does that mean that "graft" has been getting in its dirty work in Spokane, too? A good deal of dangerous material was smuggled into the county jail right under the nose of the jail officials. The officers were either criminally negligent or they are not up to snuff, and in either case they are deserving of either a very severe reprimand or a complete discharge. The Equitable is still in a peek of trouble and it is in no more than it richly merits. Insurance, both life and fire, seems to have resolved itself in a great game of graft and grab from the poor people, who believe they are getting some protection from such institutions, when in fact they are being openly robbed. There is now a doubt whether or not the body brought from France a few days ago at an enormous expense is after all the body of John Paul Jones. There is room for doubt and inasmuch as the naval hero had been neglected all these years even if the body that is being honored for his is genuine, it would have been just as well to have let it slept on. A SERMON FROM THE CHURCH. A few days ago Judge Cochran of the tenth state district court of Mississippi, in delivering a charge to the grand jury of the section of his court, charged with the investigation of criminal cases presented a discourse which would well have become an old time pulpit orator, and smacks wonderfully of the sermons delivered in this country 50 years ago or more. Following are some extraets from the remarkable harrangue: "Now you, and each of you, are conscious that two antagonistic forces are constantly knocking at the doors of your heart, striving for the mastery of your life and character; FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1905. the one suggesting that you do good, and the other that you do evil; one of these forces is inspired by God, and the other by the devil. You and each of you are entirely conscious that your habits and life are good or bad, just as you yield yourself up to the mastery and control of either of these forces. "God not only gave man a system of moral government, but a system of civil government as well. The criminal law is founded upon and taken from the Bible, and in the main is declared in the Ten Commandments. A wise and just administration of the criminal law is nothing more nor less than God's government on earth through man, and if rigidly and uncompromisingly enforced should very much liken the government of earth to the government of heaven. It takes no cognizance of a man's inward thoughts and intentions, and does not touch him until his evil thoughts and purposes, suggested by the devil, are manifested in his actions. Crime, then is simply the devil in human action, and the criminal law was designed and intended to subjugate the devil in human conduct. God, in his wisdom has placed this solemn responsibility upon man, and he cannot shirk it without suffering dire consequences. "In a certain sense, the enforcement of the criminal law resolves itself into a contest between God Almighty and the devil. While the state and the church are wholly separate, the circuit court must first do the following by suppressing crime before the Sunday schools and the church can do their work. Is this fact, or is it fancy? There is not in this state a community where the criminal law is enforced, and the church is not verile and active and reaching out and gathering in the people; there is not a single community where the criminal law is not enforced where the church is not mildewed and blighted and the Sunday schools paralyzed. Any community, state or county that will not enforce the criminal law had just as well close the doors of its churches and send its preachers to Africa. "One of the troubles in the enforcement of the law is the jaundiced condition and leperous attitude of the people toward crime and criminals. They seem to be utterly oblivious to the fact that crime triumphant means the overthrow of civil government and the abrogation of all law, and that if the devil succeeds in his diabolical plot, that man will be remanded to his primeval state where he will be compelled to defend his own by brute force. This would be the perfection of the devil's scheme, when they could turn every man against every other man and finally destroy humanity. It is a lamentable fact that too many people sympathize with crime and criminals. There is scarcely ever a conviction of a criminal of any importance that the people do not immediately proceed to buttonhole the judge and plead for a light penalty. It is also true that nearly any man will sign any sort of petition to the governor to get any sort of criminal out of any sort of trouble. Why is this true? Is it because the devil has control of the people, or is it because they are unconscious that they are doing his bidding?"—Ex. This man talks as through he really is a civilized being, but we do not see how he can be, having been bred and born in the State of Mississippi. ATTORNEYS! ATTORNEYS!! ATTORNEYS!!!

Ronald has bobbed up again in the political arena, having been appointed a member of the board of regents of the University of Washington, succeeding George H. King, whose term of office has recently expired. Periodically, Mr. Ronald comes to the front, but his coming has not been accompanied with either sounding brass or tinkling cymbals. His experience as mayor of Seattle has hung over him like a great black damp and every time fortune favored him from a party standpoint his administration soon began to crowd him down until by the time of the general election he would not receive votes enough to realize that he was in the race. Despite the unfavorable criticisms of J. T. Ronald he made a good official. He was honest and upright and that is more than a great many others can say, that is if they tell the truth. * * * Hon. J. O'B. Scobey, register of the land office at Olympia, and for years chief of a political combination that exercised dominance over the political affairs of the capital city and a very considerable territory surrounding, has resigned his office and will leave the scene of his many battles and retire to the quiet and seclusion of a hotel in Portland. The transition from the roll of political boss to that of an obsequious boniface would, a few years ago, have seemed impossible to those who knew of his dominant activity, but there has come a very great and poignant change in the political affairs in the Olympia section in the past few years, and the sway of Mr. Scobey has now so diminished that he finds himself unable, upon the decline of the emoluments of the land office, to demand of the party "something equally as good" as he had for years enjoyed, and, realizing that his reign had ended, he looked for a comfortable berth in which to pass from politics to the simple life of common citizenship. There is a moral in the political history of Mr. Scobey that should impress the aggressive leader. He fully subscribed to the doctrine that to the victor belonged the spoils, and supplemented it with the assumption that for the others the best treatment was a liberal use of the club, to curb any possible development of dissatisfaction with his ideas of apportionment of the spoils. There are those in Olympia and Thurston county, consequently, who regard Mr. Scobey as the embodiment of all that is bad in plitics, and probably no man in th state has more bitter political enemies. These have not been submissive nor idle, and the retirement which is announced has been foretold for a year back by those that have observed the development of an aggressive rebellion. After ten years on the throne, during most of which time he ruled with autocratic and vengeful sway, Mr. Scobey now retires, poor in purse and unlamented, to make a new beginning in other fields. He is the last political boss that the state will see, for the time has passed when the methods of the bulldozer can be employed to influence or control the political affairs of a community. Everett Morning Tribune. It's a long lane that has no turn. Give THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN one rope enough and he will hang himself. Scobey has gotten just what's been coming to him since he deserted his political friend for another's flesh pots. "Politics make strange bedfellows," runs an old adage. It might be as aptly said politics make many bedfellows, if George Stevenson's hotel experience in Seattle is a criterion. For the past twenty years Stevy has been doing the political stunt in this state, not in the shape of office-holding, but in the shape of manipulating the politics in the interest of others. The man for whom he schemed all these years finally succeeded, and the railroads having retired from active politics, he was a political manipulator without a job. It was then that he conceived the idea of turning his wide political experience to his personal financial gain, and with that in mind he purchased a well established hotel property in Seattle. Since taking charge of the hotel every politician that he ever knew made it a point to stop with Stevy in Seattle, and as a result his house has been chock a block with guests every night since he has been in the control. The singular success of Stevenson has been an incentive to the firm of Van de Vanter & Davis, the men who made the deal for Stevenson to themselves go into the hotel business, and to that end they have purchased the Tourist hotel, corner Occidental avenue and Jackson street.

An editorial in the Los Angeles Times of the 18th instant, headed, “The Black Man’s Burden,” is a very splendid tribute of encouragement to the race. It says: We hear a great deal, now and then, about the white man’s burden, but the black man has his burdens, too, though never a word is said about them by anybody. The Negro, the world over, has had a lot of heavy loads on his back since he began, not to speak of the lashes and blows that same poor back has had to bear. But patiently has he borne his burdens— our brother of the dark skin—patient- ly and bravely has he borne them in- deed. Among the present burdens the Negro has to bear is the senseless enmity of certain envenomed white men who are known as, and who pride themselves on being “nigger-haters.” The prince of these is Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi, of whom it was set forth in yesterday’s telegraph col- umns of the Times that he is about to make a campaign for his election to the United States senate on th plat- form of the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment. Furthermore, Varda- man has the audacity to say that if elected he would devote his energies to educating the North up to his ideas of the “justice” of disfranchising the Negro, leaving him without a vote in his native country, a voice in a gov- ernment of which he is a living part, and eliminating him wholly from the political life of the nation.

The long-haired and narrow-souled governor of Mississippi may work his way into the senate—for there is no telling what may happen down there in the Bayon State—but he would prove perfectly harmless. There is to be no disfranchisement of American citizens just now or at any other time, whether they be black or white. The latest Vardaman outbreak, if it serves any purpose, serves but to again bring to mind the fact that the Negro question is no longer a ques- tion at all. And that this is so we have to thank the Negro himself. It is he who has solved the problem by his own courage, industry, patience and virtue. There are bad Negroes, but not more of them, pro rata, than there are bad white men. It is, in- deed, inspiring to look back upon the splendid achievements of our Negro fellow citizens since they came “up from slavery.” Look where you will in all the busy walks of life, and you will find the black man there, holding his own and often even outstripping his white brother in the race for suc- cess, Law, medicine, science, art, and literature must all seckon now with him. And in the humbler vocations, as husbandman, laborer, or mechanic, he is fulfilling his destiny and doing his work, steadily, industriously, hon- estly, and well. We rejoice in the black man’s suc- cess—yea, in his triumphs. In the face of fearful odds he has won his victories. There is peace and plenty Both Phones 49 Established 1888 E. R.
