Historical Society SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XII, NO. 15 POLITICAL POT-PIE A personal encounter between President Hi. Gill and Councilman Daulton was narrowly averted at the last council meeting, and to prevent the same it was necessary for a number of the other members to act [Picture of a man in a suit and tie, facing forward.] H. C. GILL as peacemakers or holders. For some reason Councilman Daulton ever since he has been in the council has taken great pleasure in saying cutting things about Mr. Gill. Mr. Daulton is a protegee of the Daily Times, which vents its spleen by day and by night of its great loads of black vomit against Mr. Gill and Councilman Daulton periodically breaks out with "mee, too, Colonel." Because one Rev. Mathews and a few other rebrobates of his ilk saw fit to speak ungentlemanly of Mr. Gill without any foundation for so doing, it does behove Mr. Daulton, a fellow member of the same body as Mr. Gill, to join in the chorus, and if Mr. Daulton for a minute thinks he is popularizing himself with the voters by using such coarse, brutal language about Mr. Gill as he is credited with having used last Tuesday he is mighty far off his base. Republicans who personally do not admire Mr. Gill will not support Mr. Daulton in his brutal attacks on him and then again first and last unless he puts an end to it, Gill will, like the worm, turn on his traducer and personal violence might be resorted to. This thing of holding a man up to public ridicule whenever and wherever an opportunity does or does not present itself, and unless some steps are taken to call it off one or the other of the two men will get seriously hurt. *** Shall the Seattle Electric Company get an exclusive franchise for West Lake Boule- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1905 [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. JOHN RIPLINGER LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRICE FIVE CENTS "I know," said a prominent local politician, "that John Riplinger has repeatedly said he would not be a candidate for mayor, but would only be a candidate to succeed himself as city comptroller, but I got a straight tip that, he is being quietly groomed for the place by some of the leading politicians of the city and county. Riplinger himself, I do not believe, is a party to it, in fact, I have my doubts if he really knows [Picture of a man in a suit with a mustache]. T. M. DAULTON what is going on in his behalf, but when the thing is ripe it will be put up to him and when it is put up to him it will be in a way that he cannot refuse. Everybody knows that John Riplinger is one of the most popular politicians in King county and if he should announce his candidacy for the mayorality, in my opinion there would be nothing more to it. Riplinger may get a tip as to what is going on and take the bull by the horns and nip it in the bud. If, however, he has any intention of making a fight for mayor I wish he would announce himself, but, if on the other hand, he will not make the fight for mayor, I also hope he will make a positive statement to that effect, not because I have any political ax to grind, but because I am a great admirer of the man and do not want him to make any false step in politics, for, in my opinion, he has a great political future." * * * The Pie-maker once before published from John Riplinger's own mouth a statement to the effect that he would not be a candidate for mayor, and in casually talking the matter over one day this week without him having any knowledge at what was trying to be brought out, he again declared that, under no circumstances would he be a candidate for mayor. He has made an ideal city comptroller and he has no desire to shoulder the troubles and responsibilities of the mayor of Seattle. Attorney General John D. Atkinson was in the city for a few hours one day this week and was seen by the Pie-maker. When asked about some of the trouble that is daily reported from the state house between the various state house officials he replied: "Those are fabrications of the Times without truth or foundation save and except to try to stir up strife between the Republican officials. There is not the slightest bit of friction between Governor Mead and myself nor between the governor and any other of the state house officials. The ploitical editor of the Times can hatch up more cock and bull stories than any human being that I ever met. When I read and see some of the exaggerated statements in the Times I am reminded of a statement published in the Republican in the last campaign: Saw it in the Times? _____. Things are moving on nicely at Olympia and so far as I know all of the state house officials are happy. There is absolutely no politics floating about the offices. You can hear of no schemes, combinations or cat hops being fixed up and I do not think since I have been in the state has the state officials been as completely divorced from future politics as they are at the present time. There is a need of a good long rest from politics and we are getting it, much to my satisfaction as well as for the good of my pocket book." Commercial Grafting. A. P.

It is useless to add that Mr. Sawyer was "glad to get back to Seattle," for, if he had not been, he would not have come back. "I am pleased to see the old city still forging ahead and if she will just use a bit of discretion she will continue to do so. What N. B. Solner, who recently returned from Cape Nome, warned the business men of Seattle against, I, too, heard of in a small way while in California. All of us are deeply interested in the welfare of the city and we do not wish to see her business men commit overt acts simply because they can drive a good bargain for themselves for the time being. The old fable of 'the hen that each day laid a golden egg,' the most of us have read of in Aesop's fables. She was killed by her owner because it was suspected the hen had a mass of gold within her, but she found nothing in the hen but what was common to all hens. This might be retold to those who are killing the hen that has been laying the golden egg for Seattle ever since the Alaska trade first became profitable, with advantage to all concerned. Petty grafting on the part of those who are supposed to be engaged in making Greater Seattle will result in the overthrow of Seattle's commercial supremacy. Clark Nettleton Returns. "You are a very sick cian to Clark M. Nettle you to divorce yourself of your business and go you regain your health "You are a very sick man," said a physician to Clark M. Nettleton, "and I advise you to divorce yourself completely from all of your business and go to the woods until you regain your health."

I convinced, however, that the high official know nothing of its existence, as it is being worked so quietly that they have never caught on to it, but it is going on and being on every day and hour. The Republic has been making some quiet investigation in the matter and the statement has to an extent been verified. No facts are being published in this issue of the paper because the evidence that it wants before doing it has not been obtained. That a purse-lifted every week in certain quarters of somebody is almost a notorious fact. That the men putting up the “dough” get the protection is also a fact. Where the dough goes is the question, but it goes somewhere. Once it was said the money was being raised for a sinking fund for campaign purposes next spring. This is not now believed. There is no doubt but that it is raised for sinking fund, but it is not for campaign purposes. The “wide open” town is, it is true, a thing of the past, but the grafters getting “his” just the same as when things were running wide open. Gambling is running without restriction not only in the red light district, but even north of Yesler Way and in places where the average citizen would not for a minute suspect it. Some of the officers, it is said, are quite aware of the existence of these games. The running of gambling games is not only contrary to the city ordinances, but is a state offense.

Seattle folk are well aware of that fact without having a dispatch from the Fair to verify it. Seattle todays is overrun with visitors either on their way to the Fair or returning therefrom. A Seattle man who spent a week at Portland attending the Fair had read so much in the papers about the visitors doing the Fair as rapidly as possible to spend as much time as they could in Seattle, that he had come to the conclusion it was all newspaper talk, bery or pharisaism carried rather far. In the true Democracy of vegetable life, weed would be a term of praise. In Sicily a plant ealled Genesta is seen along the roads and is always spoken of as a weed. In New York the price of it is $5.00 for a pot.—Collier’s Weekly. Legal Ethics. Lawyers have been the butt from time im- memorial for jibes about their morals. ‘‘Rich men rule the law,’’ said Goldsmith, a cen- tury and more ago, even as Americans are saying now; and a century before Goldsmith it was observed by the author of ‘‘Love a la Mode”’ that the law was ‘‘a sort of hocus- pocus science, that smiles in yer face while it picks yer pocket; and the glorious uncer- tainty of it is of mair use to the professors than the justice of it.’’ The uncertainty of it is certainly, in all our new commercial problems, greater today than it would be it money were not the power it is. The present eviticism of legal ethics does not show that lawyers are morally below the rest of us. Probably they average higher than most oc- cupations. The point is that a peculiarly high standard is required of them, if we are to be free to secure the laws we wish and their proper execution. We can not do it while lawyers are led solely by the highest fee. In the last twenty years, Sing Sing has known about four hundred lawyers, and at present the Empire state has 193 in jail, with 16 under indictment in the County of New York. ‘‘This is Choate,’’ sajd Wen- dell Phillips in 1859, ‘‘who made it safe to murder, and of whose health thieves asked before they ventured to steal.’’ Phillips al- ways spoke in violent terms, but the last part of his statement is relevant to too many leading attorneys of our day. We ask a great deal of this profession, by necessity. We ask even as much as Daniel Webster, who, with his usual noble weight of style, said, ‘‘Tell me a man is dishonest, and I will tell you he is no lawyer.’’—Collier’s Weekly. ee Attorneys who have legal notices for pub- lieation in this county would do well to see The Seattle Republican before sending their notices out.

Among various bodies organized in this country to promote civie progress,’ the League of American Municipalities is dis- tinetive in that it is composed of municipal officers. In its sessions last week at Toledo, Ohio, the subject which overshadowed all others was that of municipal ownership of public utilities. This was due to two causes: first, to the general interest in the subject, which is manifest throughout the country, and naturally found expression in this meet- FRIDAY, SEPT. 8, 1905. so he thought he would do some listening for himself. ‘‘Without any one knowing I was a Seattle man, I drifted about the grounds and heard bunches of Eastern folk talk about the Fair, and the West in general, and they always concluded by saying, ‘“We will eut our visit shert here and go to Seattle. I came that way, and I want to go back there,’? a spokesman would say, ‘‘for it is the busiest town I ever saw in my life. I rode over the city and thousands of men are at work on both publie and private im- provements, and everything seems to be moving with a rush.’’ Not only in one in- stance did I hear such, continued the Seattle man, but hundreds of them. I am now firm- ly of the opinion that, Portland gave the Fair, and Seattle is reaping the financial results. Seattle is advertising itself. Those who come tell those who have not come, and they lose very little time in coming. Representative Dawes Dead. It was a severe shock to the politicians when the death of Joseph H. Dawes was was announced in the daily papers last Fri- day evening. Mr. Dawes has been promi- nent in political affairs of the city, county and state for a great many years, and was very generally liked by those who knew him. *It was the desire of Mr. Dawes when alive that his remains be cremated, and his wish was carried out. His was the first to be cremated in the new plant that has been recently erected in this city. The only rela- tive he had in the city was a brother, and strange to remark, the brother made the stone arches in the crematory which holds the urn containing the ashes, and his broth- er Joseph’s were the first to be placed there- in. He watched it in almost speechless si- lence last Sunday afternoon. Old Timer Passes Over. ‘ Capt. John Libby, a veteran Puget Sound steamboat man, died in Portland last Mon- day. The immediate cause of his death was a stroke of apoplexy, but he has been in poor health for some months. Capt. Libby was a member of the fifth legislature of this state, having been elected from Port Townsend. He has been a resident of Seattle for some years. What is a Weed? There’s nothing in a name, cries Juliet. There’s everything in words, Mephistopheles replies. Take your choice. Truth lies in each. Many a flower that sits in glory by the road is neglected because of the class in whieh it is carelessly included. Cowper says: ‘But they whom truth and wisdom lead Can gather honey from a weed.”’ ‘As if what we call weeds were not often as full of honey as any that we eall a flower. A plant which is not degenerate, but rather hardy, prolifie, and able to survive, is pun- ished with the derogatory name, not only because its strength makes it an obstacle to the farmer and his crops, but for the mere reason that it is common. The very word “‘eommon,”’ indeed, as applied to persons, has a meaning of contempt—which is snob- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP (Outlook. ) eG Srey, ) SV Be aga es ve ee speakers was Mayor Dunne, of Chicago, who was elected to his office on the issue of mu- nicipal ownership of street railways. Mayor Dunne’s address may be divided into two parts. In the first part he considered the general subject of municipal ownership. He called attention to the fact that for the past fifty years it has been applied mainly to water supply, sewage systems, parks, and, in some eases, bathing houses. More recent- ly, however, it has been applied to such pub- lie utilities as lighting plants, telephone sys- tems, and street car lines. ‘‘Municipal own- ership,’’ he clearly showed, was no new and untested device, although it has been char- acterized as such when its application to en- terprises in the control of powerful corpora- tions has been proposed. There is nothing horrible in the thought of a city supplying water to its inhabitants; there seems to be something dreadful, however, in the idea that a city should supply its citizens with transportation. It is in the municipal own- ership and operation of street railways that Mayor Dunne naturally is chiefly interest- ed. He referred at some length to the ex- perience of European cities, and found it favorable to municipal ownership. The sec- ond part of his speech he devoted to a de- tailed explanation of the method by which he proposed to hasten municipal ownership of street railways in Chicago. Under the Illinois law enabling cities to’ own their street car systems, the process of issuing cer- tificates to pay for car lines, and the process of calling for bids and issuing specifications, both involve delay, especially when invoked by the powerful corporate interests opposed to municipal ownership. To secure to the city, therefore, an option on the lines which would be practically equivalent to owner- ship, Mayor Dunne proposed a plan of or- ganizing a private company which, by the terms of its charter, would be under the control of the city council. The dividends on the capital stock, the salaries of the em- ployees, and the expenditures, contracts, and specifications for building entered into by the company would all be subject to de- termination by the council, and the meth- ods by which the property could at any time pass into the hands of the city would be explicitly stated in the act of incorpora- tion. A little more than half of the mileage of car tracks in the city is, or in the next two years will be, at the disposal of the city. Mayor Dunne believes that the lines included in this could be made, if operated by the city, immediately remunerative. It has been objected that if the trackage of the city should thus be divided between private com- panies and the municipality, the citizens of the city would be deprived of transfers which they now have and would be required to pay double fare. This is a practical ob- jection that will carry weight with a great many people. Americans are slow to sub- mit to inconvenience even for a great good.

If municipal ownership is a good thing for giving the city cheap light and cheap water in view of the fact the city is being systematically robbed by the various as- phalt companies operating herein, why would not asphalt municipal ownership op- erate just as advantageously for the city?

Justice Brewer’s suggestion that ‘‘we may yet see a woman in the Presidential chair’’ brought out a world of comment, but one, W. L. Bodine, superintendent of compulsory education in Chicago, goes the judge one bet- ter and-rises to make the following predic- tion: ‘‘Man, like the Indian, is dying out. and being driven away. In 1890 there were 3,914,571 women employed in gainful occu- pations in America. In 1900 the number had increased to 5,329,807. The birth-rate among the female population is increasing, and the death-rate decreasing. It is just the reverse among the males. We are rapidly drifting to the age of the ‘eternal feminine,’ when man will be a back number and foreed to the soil and those fields of labor where only his physical endurance will save him in the struggle for survival.’’ Now that peace between Russia and Japan is a fact, some slight attention may be given to the little war in South Africa between Germany and her colonies. According to a recent report sent out the German army have 14,000 soldiers in the field of battle there. They have lost fifty-nine officers and 1,194 regular soldiers. The pecuniary cost to Germany up to the presen time amounts to $60,000,000. During the progress of great wars small encounters, as the one mentioned above, are lost sight of. Germany has not as yet conquered her rebellious subjects and will doubtless lose a great many more men as well as a great deal more money before she does.

At the latest annual meeting, in Odessa, of the Society for the Amelioration of Infant Mortality, Prof. Gundobin declared that the annual number of births in the fifty governments of European Russia was 2,100,000, and of these no fewer than 1,200,000 infants died within twelve months. This appalling rate of infant mortality he attributed to the general ignorance of the peasant population and to the chronic poverty. Final figures just compiled by the Bureau of Statistics show that the export of manufactured products in the year just ended amounted to $543,620,297, as against $452,415,921 in the preceding year, $433,-851,756 in 1900 and $183,595,743 in 1895 only ten years ago. The growth in exports of manufactures far exceeds the growth of population or the growth of commerce as a whole. The persistent efforts which have been made and are being made to nullify the suffrage guarantees of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution are fraught with great danger to the peace and security of the Union. We claim nothing more than what is guaranteed to all citizens by the Federal Constitution and we will be satisfied with nothing less.

The National Afro-American Press Association at its twenty-fifth session feels that in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people when a thoroughly organized movement is working with malignant energy to utterly destroy the civil and political rights of those for whom we stand in part as spokesmen, it is necessary to reaffirm and emphasize the following principles fundamental in citizenship and generally championed by all Afro-American newspapers. We resent the reiterated statement that this is a "white man's" country, for the Federal Constitution specifically places all of its citizens on equality before the law. --- It is by far the largest nations except Russia, 130,000,000 inhabitants.

We heartily commend the brave and patriotic position taken by President Roosevelt in the enforcement of the Federal Constitution and the laws based upon it. His words and deeds stand out in bold relief, in these times when so many men in high places are false to right principles and the best interests of the whole people.
