Chief of the Police Delaney sprung a surprise on the expectant small boy with his Hallowe'en restriction order. *** "Be gentle," preached Rev. Mathews to the girls. A little of that practiced by the men would not be wholly out of place. * * * Coal Oil John is now with us and from his hight he seems quite long enough to inspect the Alaska block, let alone a barrel of oil. \* \* \* The "open work stocking," when on a pretty leg, may be "full of danger," but it's a danger of which few men have any horrors. *** The extravagance of the Seattle officials in handling the public funds has reached the alarming state and it is almost time that some conservatism be used or the city will become totally bankrupt. *** Of course Piles wants the Collvill reservation opened up to settlers, for if it is there will be more opportunities for the railroad company, which he represents, to increase its real estate holdings in the state. * * * Unless the signs of the times are very deceiving some pretty big steals are being planned to be put through next year by those whom the Seattle Electric Company see fit to put into office at the next spring election. * * * Gov. La Follette will endeavor to be elected governor of Wisconsin in order to have a railroad commission bill put on the statute books of that state to his liking, and in doing so he will turn down an election to the United States Senate consisting of a term of six years. *** An exchange is of the opinion that "the Negro can never be Christianized by simply making mulatoes out of him," which is quite correct, but he can be whitenized by the process, and that accomplished the average Caucausian is willing to let it go at that. *** The delegates to the International Tuberculosis Congress in Paris uncompromisingly denounced kissing. Three thousand of the world's most distinguished doctors rose as one man and anathematized it. If the idea grows modern Romeos will have to content themselves with a fond embrace only. --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1905 If the contractors who have charge of the street improvements had put just half of the zeal into their work when they first began it that they are doing now when the good days are uncertain, there would be no need of working on Sundays, for the street work would be completed. * * * During the week President Roosevelt was riding on a rather choppy sea, Mrs. Roosevelt was cruising down the Potomac and Secretary Taft was ploughing south on the swift Columbia. The powers that be were pretending or "playing like" they were Venetians, it would appear. * * * President Roosevelt in all of his Southern talks always impressed it upon his hearers to be "good citizens," thus leaving the impression that they had not been such in the past. We have always maintained the Southern folk more heathen than civilized and President Roosevelt has to an extent verified our contentions. * * * Mrs. Katherine Stevenson, president of the Massachusetts W. C. T. U., says: "The open work stocking is full of danger to the purity of the youths of our land." She further deplored the steadily growing tendency to what she termed the immodest and unnecessary display of a woman's person. What if Mrs. Stevenson should visit the Seattle Theatre? * * * The two weeks' old baby which was deserted on the doorstep of J. B. Hodges of Bellingham comes as a reminder of the times when such used to be common in Seattle. In these days and times of orphans' homes, advertised babies for adoption, and homes before and after confinement where baby's wellfare is "seen to" the left-on-the-doorstep baby has about played out in this city. * * * The Seattle Electric Company is still sifting through it numerous applicants for positions as members of the city council with the view of getting only such as can be trusted to do its bidding the best. "The public be damned," shouts Supt. Kempster of the S. E. Co., which leads the poor devils to ask, "What rights have the common citizens of Seattle that the Seattle Electric Company should even think of respecting. * * * Dogs must wear tailor-made coats, have satin bows, wear bracelets on paws, and be perfumed, says a London authority on the proper things for the fourfooted darlings. We stood it all very well until the authority proceeded to tell what kind of handkerchiefs dogs must use in the day time and what style of night dress ought to be worn during their sleeping hours. Surely the limit has been reached! * * * Dixon, the writer of the Clansman, narrowly escaped being lynched in South Caro- PRICE FIVE CENTS lina the other day where the dramatic effect of his book made its first appearance and he was present to witness its presentation. Let's see, we are informed that though Christ was a Jew, yet the Jews received him not, and now history is repeating itself and the Southern white folk are refusing to receive the Southern man who has make a jack ass of himself trying to tickle their race prejudice bump. * * * Mr. R. B. Bryan, state superintendent of schools, has informed County Superintendent Thomas P. Story, of King county, that in his opinion, which is based upon a decision of the Supreme Court made in a similar case, the contract made by the textbook commission for Doub's history cannot be revoked. If the commission, unknowingly, blunders and in consequence the minds of the youths over the entire state must suffer and yet the error stand because the commission signed the contract, more is the pity. * * * President Roosevelt has actually been out of the United States; a thing which no other president ever did. However, there has never before been a president who held the reigns of public affairs in a time when science was so advanced, or man's judgment more accurate. With the aid of wireless telegraphy the president was virtually not out of the States, while the excellent management with which the entire programme was carried out prevent any casualty which might have endangered the lives of our presidents' predecessors. * * * In the "Earl and the Girl," a play soon to be on the boards in New York City, there is to be a song entitled "Little Ladies in Distress." The distress is caused by the ladies getting pebbles in their stockings, so they take their shoes and stockings off right on the stage, and "it's perfectly shocking!" says one writer. Well, it will take more than the exposure of six bare tootsies to shock some who are accustomed to attending what is being put before the public in some of our cities, as up-to-date burlesque extravaganza. * * * In Huddersfield, says a London exchange, the first person who informs the medical officer of health of a birth receives a shilling. The mayor instituted this as he has also the scheme of paying $5 to the parents for every child born in his native town which lives to be over one year old. This has greatly lessened the child mortality in that town. The mayor, however, could import many hundred Americans from the upper, middle and first classes into his native home town and yet have but little increase in the demand for his $5 pieces. It's a way they have. * * * Miss Rosena E. Grover, who is plaintiff in a breach of promise suit for $25,000 against James E. Zook, mayor of Ballard, has undergone some very trying ordeals during the suit and is now required to have an X-ray picture taken of her lungs. The defendant claims as his reason for not marrying her that her lobes are affected. Mr. Zook's discarded fiancee may or may not get the muchly desired $25,000, but those optimistically inclined say the fight she is putting forth will have a tendency to make the sterner sex think twice about matrimonial affairs before speaking once. * * * IS HUMAN NATURE DISHONEST? The natural passimist can find all the encouragement he wants in the recent stories of respectable men who have men with temptation and have not been able to withstand. The confession of young Leonard, who had been one of the trusted employes of a big New York bank, but who obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars through forgery; the defalcation of Dougherty, the prominent member of the National Educational Association, and the respected president of the Peoria bank, who was found guilty of misappropriating funds to the amount of a fortune; and the defection of Cuneliffe, previously held in good esteem, but now suspected of absconding with an enormous sum entrusted to the Adams Express Company; these instances of misplaced confidence are likely to startle the average man to ask: "Is there anyone we can trust? is anyone honest? is there anyone who can stand the temptation to get money dishonestly when he thinks he can do it without being caught?" The pessimist says no. Whenever he hears of boodling and bribing and other forms of corruption, he lays it up against human nature. Whenever he hears a man attacked for getting money by overriding the laws of honesty and throwing to the winds the golden rule, he says: "Show me the man who wouldn't do it if he had the opportunity." But the man who is not a pessimist does not see rational human nature in these cases. He sees human nature distorted, perverted by the rush and stress of business life, by political ambitions, by evil brookings, or by some other unnatural, unhuman, and inhumane influence. The true human nature is not usually flaunted in the papers under glaring headlines, but is found in the man whose mind revolts at the thought of living a parasitic life on the money or property of others.—W. W. Union. HUMAN ODDITIES. One John McDonald of Bethlehem Township, Indiana, fifteen years ago, planted his entire farm in sunflower seeds. His neighbors said he was crazy and that he would have a hard time eating his flowers in the winter. McDonald went ahead and when he harvested his crop he sold it for seven cents a pound, realizing $50 an acre. The laughing ceased and now many others are engaged in sunflower raising. A great deal of it is ground and made into condition powders for stock and occasionally some is made into so-called "olive oil" that is said to surpass the cotton-seed oil. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Col. John T. Burns, chief clerk of the Internal Revenue Bureau of the Treasury, desired a messenger for his office, so called on the civil service commission. The names of three eligibles were sent him. In order to avoid selecting a Negro for the place he chose the name of Richard A. McGaha of Mississippi. Next morning the colonel found before him a dusky American proudly bearing that Irish cognomen. Col. Bivins was somewhat disconcerted but game, nevertheless, and swore in McGaha. So there's not so much in a name after all. * * * Mrs. William Partridge, whose husband is a contractor, has gained the sobriquet of "Lady Boss" from the men who work under her directions. Having no children and disliking the idleness of hotel life, she accompanies her husband and assists him in his work. The firm contracts to drill wells, lay sewers, and construct water systems, and Mrs. Partridge thoroughly enjoys the out-of-door life. When working through rocky foundations she calmly directs the work of the laborers as they ram dynamite into the drilled holes, and does all the work of a foreman as efficiently as any of the sterner sex. As she is a modest, well-dressed young woman, there is no suspicion that Mrs. Partridge is other than an onlooker until a question is asked her or she gives an order to the 75 men who grin and proudly declare they like to be "bossed" by a woman. * * * German statisticians with no great burden of serious work on their shoulders have been calculating what part of a woman's life is spent in looking at herself in a mirror. She begins as a rule at six years. From six to ten she has a daily average of seven minutes. From ten to fifteen she devotes a quarter of an hour to her glass. At twenty she certainly spends thirty minutes daily admiring herself, and when past twenty, a whole hour. The statisticians are tactful enough not to say when a woman begins to take less interest in her personal appearance, but women more than sixty years old do not, they say, spend more than ten minutes daily at their mirrors. All this time reckoned up—it is a simple sum in multiplication—makes 7,000 hours, or about ten months at the mirror. They then proceed to compare the time which a man—a German man—devotes to this occupation, and come to the conclusion that his average is seven months. * * * Capt. Dooley, head of the police of the Tenderloin district in New York City, instructed his men to arrest any woman caught alone on the streets of the Tenderloin after 10 o'clock at night. The arrest of twenty-seven women followed, vagrancy being charged against them. Magistrate Mayo of the police court discharged them and to the arresting officers said: "You men have no right to arrest a woman because she looks to you as though she might not be respectable," declared the magistrate. "Things have come to a fine pass in New York when the respectability of a woman is left to the correctness of a policeman's impression. I shall continue to discharge all women arraigned before me on a charge of vagrancy unless the policeman arresting her is willing to swear that she is a vagrant. You policemen ought to be ashamed to bring women in here and charge them with a disgraceful offense unless you are absolutely sure of your ground." Every now and then the Seattle police give play to their imagination or mind reading qualities and arrest suspects among the women, but their victims are for the most part colored women. * * * With unabated zeal Mrs. Augustus Kopf continues to search for her husband who deserted her and their four children fortythree years ago in Germany. In the hunt she has crossed the seas from Germany to the United States four times. On the first journey to America only did Mrs. Kopf find the wanderer, and then he returned to Germany with her. A fifth child was born. At the end of six years Kopf again disappeared. "I'll find him yet," declares Mrs. Kopf, who is seventy-two years old, but vigorous as ever. The question is, is it worth while? If she finds him what has she got? A man who would willfully desert his wife and four children is not worth one trip from Germany to the United States to say nothing of four trips. * * * Orsamus Page of Bloomington, Ill., is the oldest known newsboy in the world. He was born in 1809, which makes him now nearly his ninety-seventh year. Railroad passengers are accustomed to seeing him when they pass through Joliet, Ill. He rises at 4 o'clock every morning in order to meet the early trains. Page is handicapped by the loss of a leg, losing the member in a mine accident twenty years ago. His family was noted for longevity, his father dying at eight-nine, his mother at ninety-eight, while his grandfather lived to be 102, and his grandmother to 105. Mr. Page has a wife who is eighty-six years of age. His papers are the sole support of the couple, but owing to his age and crippled condition he is give nthe preference among the newsboys that besiege the trains, and he manages to earn several dollars a day. The hundreds of business men who daily gather at the "Bailey" were pleased almost beyond expression to meet Mr. J. F.

Nome, Alaska FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1905 dle West. Mr. Conant is one of the most popular business men of this city and his presence at his accustomed place last Monday was hailed by every one who came in with the warmest of greetings at his return. "As is the case with every one, who returns home after an absence of some length of time and after a long travel, I am exceedingly glad to be in Seattle again, and equally pleased to meet my Seattle friends, who have and are giving me such a warm welcome," came from Mr. Conant one day this week, "but," continued he, "permit me to say I had the time of my life while I was away. Friends and business men in Chicago, Cincinnati, Boston and Indianapolis, in which places I had either lived or done business, gave me the warmest welcome I had ever before received. In all of those places I was dined at the leading clubs and shown the city in either autos or carriages by first one and then another until I began to think I had really found what DeSoto failed to find after traveling the world around, the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN fountain of immortal youth. I cannot find words to express my heartfelt thanks for the royal reception that my friends and acquaintances in the cities mentioned above gave me while in their midst. In some instances I was where I once lived, and I was doubly proud of their treatment from the very fact I had once lived or done business in their midst. Most any one can move to a new town and soon make an army of friends there, and especially business friends, but the man who can live in the new town, do business with her merchants and capitalists and then move away and afterwards return and be royally received by them can congratulate himself that their courtesies toward him are neither forced nor feigned. But, as said above, it is good to be home again, and Seattle, as it has always done, looks good to me." Major Conant stands just as high among the business men of Seattle as he does in those towns he has told us all about, and if he should leave this city and be gone any length of time his reception would be just as warm on his return. He is a most remarkable man in more ways than one, for though he is now beyond his three score and ten years yet he is as active in business circles as a man twenty years his junior, and takes spins across the continent like a man in middle age. * * * Twenty-four years ago, when George William Catt entered the Iowa State College and offered to milk the cows in the barn of the agricultural school for his tuition and do chores for his board, no one thought he would ever become the great Brooklyn engineer, and at his death present to that school the sum of $175,000. This was one-half of his net fortune. The young girl who became his wife was in attendance at the school at the same time. "Fine feathers make fine birds" all right, but it is not the boys who wear the "swellest" clothes in school who afterwards mount the ladder round by round.

And so I think and think and think (I know whereof I speak) We'd roll in gold if we would hold Elections every week. * * * Democracy, like Populism, in the state of Washington, is almost a thing of the past. At the last state election the Democratic candidates with one exception did not poll but a few more votes than did the Pops and as a result of this great Democratic slump in votes there are now but three papers in all Eastern Washington of Democratic faith—the Democrat of North Yakima, the Statesman of Walla Walla, and the Commoner of Colfax—and each of them live more by Republican sufferance than by partisanism. * * * In the state of Washington the cognomen "Coal Oil Johnny" does not necessarily refer to the well known oil king, who has fleeced his customer out of millions of dollars, but may mean the Hon. John L. Cannutt, who has recently been appointed state oil inspector, and who took the oath of office November 1 and assumed the duties thereof: In Whitman county he is being dubbed by both friends and enemies as Coal Oil Johnny, By the former as a compliment and by the latter as an insult, he having succeeded in getting the place after the methods adopted by Rockefeller in getting wealth. * * * Senator Sam Piles seems to be thoroughly convinced that "the coming Congress will be the most important one for decades." "How could it be otherwise," snorted a well known Republican after he had read the remark, "when Sam Piles will be present." Mr. Piles will, after he has been there for a short time, realize that in the coming session he will cut but little more ice than does Levi Ankeny, which is not more than enough to cool his periodical smiles. It cost the Ankenys $750,000 to go to Washington as one of the U. S. Senators from Washington, to be told on arriving there to "go way back and sit down." * * * There was a good deal of a hulla baloo made about Gov. Mead dismissing the peni- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN tentiary guards, who illegally registered in the Walla Walla municipal election and the public was widely informed that every mother's son of them were to be dismissed. It may be news to the readers of the Pot-Pie to learn that not a single one of them except Charley Woods was actually let out and he was made deputy assessor of Walla Walla county, a job paying him much better than the one he left. To hoodwink the people seems to be the chief delight of some politicians and office holders. A story at the expense of Dock Hare is being told in Spokane. "Hare, of course, is a great admirer of Congressman Jones Seattle Tic Lots Ready To Filled to Grade, Street Other Improve Business Block, Wh Houses, Fact These Lands are located in the coming business section of Seattle, near the new Union Passenger Station and Freight Depots that are built on made land.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1905 Speaking about Whitman county politicians reminds the Pie-maker that while in Colfax a few days ago he was surprised to run into the very arms of Martin J. Maloney, one of the two Democratic representatives in the last legislature, who is now the owner of a first class hotel in that city. Martin was the political wiseacre of the last legislature, but in his new role when politics is mentioned he just looks wise and says to the gang, "It's on me," and if he does not drown the memories of the past in the "juice of the forbidden fruit" it's no fault of his. "I am a hotel man and am not in politics," he whispered to the Pie-maker, "and you will do me a great favor to cut me out of your political round up. But let me tell you, Democrats are awful scarce articles in this neck of the woods." * * * Dave Larimer has not been doing the political stunt on the Spokesman Review for some time, and perhaps will never do so again, though he hopes things will come his way again and he will be in the saddle as of yore in the near future. Dave and Durham, the editor, did not agree and though Dave was of the opinion his services were indispensible, yet the paper has wagged on without them the same as with them. Barring some slight exaggerations, however, there are few better political correspondents than Dave Larimer. He can fix up some splendid political dope in which there is not a single scintilla of truth, but it reads good and does note grate on one's nerve as does the stuff turned out by the crane legged imbecile on the Daily Times. * * * During all the political career of Prof. R. B. Bryan, state superintendent of public instruction, the "most unkindest cut of all" was when the Washingtonian of Pomeroy published his picture and dubbed it "Senator Levi Ankeny." It comes hard at times for one to even bear his own sins, but when he has to bear the sins of another, as in this case, if only to be mistaken for him, it's awfully hard. For the past year or more Prof. Bryan has been in very poor health and the Pie-maker would not be surprised if he happens to see the paper containing the gross error, he does not expire at once, if not sooner, of heart failure. * * * If. Gov. Mead does not fire A. F. Kees from the superintendency of the state penitentiary it will be because he, Mead, will weaken in the fight, owing to a conversation he recently had with Senator Ankeny, in which the Senator proceeded to read the riot act to the governor, saying in substance that "if he, Mead, wanted a fight he would accommodate him to his heart's content." The Governor then looked toward Senator Piles, who was present when Ankeny was reading the riot act to him, whereupon Piles, without waiting to be called upon, butted in with, "I am with Senator Ankeny in whatever he wishes." The conversation with the two United States senators may cause the Governor to weaken and let the Kees investigation result in a whitewash, but if he acts on the facts Kees will be dismissed unceremoniously. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN An effort is being made to have the Republican city central committee to vote to have no city convention next January, but in lieu thereof nominate the next city ticket by the direct primary system. The members of the committee are badly divided on the proposition and it is barely possible they will turn it down, but they will be driving a nail in the political coffin of their party in doing so. There is no doubt but at this very time the Seattle Electric Company has decided just who it will have nominated for the various city officials, and while the people may stand that for a long time yet they will revolt at some time, and the longer they are getting round to revolting the more severe will it be when it does come. Let the nominations be made by the direct primary system next spring, gentlemen, and you will please well your constituents. If you do not do so the people will know full well that a majority, if not all of you, are under the influence of the corporations in general and the Seattle Electric Company in particular. At the last city election it is an open and notorious secret that, the Seattle Electric Company and the Hill railroad influence dictated both the Republican and Democratic tickets, and after railroad men had been nominated on both tickets the corporate influence announced through Charlie Chamberlain, "fight it among yourselves and elect whomever you please, as either set of candidates suits us!" It is time to call a halt to such and the quickest and best way to do it is to nominate the next city ticket by the direct primary system. * * * "Mr. Pie-maker," said a prominent citizen the other day, "I have read in the various papers, including yours, the editorial and news comments relative to the proposed bond issue of $500,000 for the extension of the park system, but more particularly for an extension of fancy driveways (boulevards). I agree with you that it is desirable to have driveways, etc., for the delectability of those who can support automobiles and fine equipages drawn by fancy and high priced steeds, but you must remember that while that class seems to be powerful with the present city administration, in the aggregate their numbers are few. The mayor can appoint the Clises, Smiths, Clarks, etc., etc., and wholly ignore the great middle business element together with the laboring classes, but when this bonding proposition comes before the people there will be a surprise party in store. Get your ear to the ground and listen and you will hear a rumbling that is ominous. The people have heard of the expenditure of $70,000 on one short piece of boulevard to the neglect of much needed improvements in the parks already acquired, and of the deficit in the park fund caused by the lax and unbusinesslike methods of the park board. I do not take a back seat to any man when it comes to my Republicanism, but it will be will to call a halt, balance accounts and consider well the possible effect the further bonding of the city will have on the people. To persist in thus increasing taxation for the benefits of the few who want lengthy driveways for their autos, etc., will cause a revolt against present conditions that will overthrow the present city government root and branch, and I will do all in my power to bring about this result. Let the council submit an amendment to the charter providing for the abolition of the Board of Park Commissioners and see with what unanimity it would carry. The member of the council securing the submission of the question would immortalize himself with the people of the city. By the way, it is high time that several boards be abolished, viz., Park, Civil Service and possibly other commissioners. Not for the purpose of abolishing any of the institutions in principle but to simplify and systematize the business of all departments and at the same time reform the Board of Public Works. Let the board be composed of five members, viz., superintendent streets, water, light, parks, library, sanitation and police, the three latter to constitute ex-officio the civil service board, the city engineer to be retired from the board. * * * The Rev. W. H. Smith, the well known Negro political preacher-faker, has shown up at North Yakima and is working the town, so goes the story, to a queen's taste. As at other places he has started in under the guise of building a Methodist church for the colored folk and is soliciting subscriptions from the leading white folk of the community for that purpose. He, just as he did in Seattle and Tacoma, got an option on a piece of property and paid a small sum down on it and then started in to raise other money to complete the payment of the same. He never made a second payment in Seattle, although he raised from the leading men of the city and county over $2,000, if the reports be true; he never made a second payment in Tacoma, if indeed a first, and yet he raised quite a sum at that point. He has already been promised quite a wad of money in North Yakima to help him complete the payment on a church property on which he has paid a twenty-five dollar first payment. That the "Rev." Smith will never make a second payment is a foregone conclusion and every dollar he gets is obtaining money under false pretenses. Smith is not a member of the A. M. E. Zion church, for he was recently expelled by the California conference from the connection for just such sharp practices. The colored folk of North Yakima would do well to see to it that this imposter be driven from the city or put in the county jail. He had all kinds of trouble in California before coming to Washington in the courts there and finding that no longer a lucrative field in which to operate, he came to the Northwest and is pursuing the same tactics here and doing so quite successfully. Let colored men frown down on such imposters and it will make better citizens of them. * * * Charles E. Chapin of Berkeley, Cal., has invented a wonderful respiratory apparatus for the use of firemen. It consists of a hood lined with oily silk to cover the head and an air cylinder which is strapped on the back. The cylinder is divided into three chambers and holds enough air, under pressure, which can be regulated, to last an hour. With the aid of such an invention firemen will be greatly aided in fighting fire and saving persons from fire doomed houses. COLORED COLONISTS. It is not generally known, nevertheless a fact, that Eastern Washington has two distinct Negro colonies, small though they be. The older of these is in the Sunnyside district, which is the extreme eastern boundary of Yakima county, one of the most prosperous as well as progressive counties in the state. The other is in Benton and Klickitat counties, which is not near so old as the one in Sunnyside. As already said, the colonies are small in numbers, but what they lack in numbers they make up in vim and sticktuitiveness, which means at no very distant date a glowing success. It was in 1892 when a few colored men left the coal camps of Roslyn and went down in the Yakima valley and took up homesteads. Their mining comrades gave them the horse laugh with "Your lands will never be worth the filing claims," but to that they paid no heed. Ever since they have worked away improving as best they could those homesteads, believing they could eventually make good and comfortable homes for themselves and their children. The Washington Irrigation Company had already begun its great Sunnyside ditch and while these colonists had gone many miles ahead of it and homesteaded, yet they firmly believed that sooner or later they would get water on their claims, which would mean success the self same day it was done. They reasoned well, but the monster Negro race prejudice got in its fatal work and Superintendent Granger of the Irrigation Company began a game of burning out the niggers so white men could get the lands. The ditch has now been in the vicinity of their ranches for five or six years, but this is the first year they ever got any water at all, and then they did not get more than a tenth enough to do them any good and Granger would not have given them that had not R. H. Denny, one of the chief directors in the new company, insisted on "giving those colored farmers water." But the colored men as well as the white men of the section are praying that the government will buy the ditch from the company that all hands may be rid of such a red handed robber as has been dogging their footsteps. A recent visit to the colony, however, revealed the fact that, notwithstanding, the colonists had had but little water on their ranches, yet they are in a fairly prosperous condition and own quarter sections of land, which they could readily sell for $50 and $60 per acre. They raise enough without water to more than maintain themselves and their families, and all of them have plenty of stock, poultry and vehicles, thus giving them the appearance of living at home and boarding at the same place. To any one who is desirous of seeing his fellow man, whether white, black, red, yellow or brown, thrive from the sweat of their own brows, it would do their hearts good to visit the hop ranch of A. A. Hawkins, a stalwart "black" man, who was born a slave, and note the prosperous air that prevails thereon. First of all he has just about completed a ten room dwelling house for himself of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the latest modern type, which is lighted from garret to cellar with acetyline gas, piped for a hot water plant, baths and toilets. It already has a telephone, thus giving him speaking communication with the outside world—in short, the home is the equal in every particular of the $3,000 city home. To maintain this luxurious palace of the prairie Mr. Hawkins has horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry galore, and for the financial support of it and its inmates he has great ricks of hay, fields of potatoes, and best of all his entire this year's hop crop—sixteen bales—and on none of the aforesaid goods and chattels does he owe one cent. He owns free from encumbrance forty acres of land under a high state of cultivation and a homestead on which Granger will put no water. Most any one would not mind being a Negro under such circumstances. Then a visit to the home of Oley Washington, while not quite so imposing as the Hawkins surrounding—due solely to Granger's cussedness—still you find a splendid story and a half house, finished on the latest style, containing eight rooms and a bath. Mr. Washington's barn yard is well stocked and he owns a quarter section of land free from debt. He was given some this year and as a result his hay and vegetable crops were quite good. Should the government take control of the canal his land would be easily worth $75 per acre. He and his good wife have staid by the proposition since 1892. While none of the other colonists has as yet got round to building fine frame homes as the two mentioned above, yet their efforts on those sand scorched plains should not be passed over unmentioned. The man who perhaps is most responsible for the success of that little colony is John L. Bedell. He, like all of the others, has a quarter section of land, on which he got a small quantity of water the past season. On his ranch he has cows and horses, sheep and hogs and all manner of poultry and a dinner at his home would leave an impression on your stomach that you would not soon forget. Any and all matters pertaining to the good of the community always must be sanctioned by John L. Bedell before put in operation. He is a born leader and his neighbors willingly make way for him. T. R. Taylor, who, like Hawkins, owns a homestead and forty acres besides, is laying the foundation for a financial harvest. He has put in a twenty acre hop yard and next year he believes he will get good returns from it. He as all the rest of them has stock and farm paraphernalia sufficient for all necessary wants. To personally mention all who have ranches in this section would require more space than we have to give, but the homes, besides those already mentioned visited which gave evidence of prosperousness were Mr. Jones, Bevla Flemings, P. H. McBain, J. D. Petgrew, and Mr. Pollard. After looking over the ranches of each of them it occurred to the writer that the Negro who spends his time in some city working like a slave for $50 per month and thereby making but a scant living for his family should be punished for Grah Special Wool W A Line of Wool Waists of last se flannel, granite cloth, viyella flan white with colored stripes, plaids, m red and tan; all excellent materials neat tailored styles; some velvets worth $7.50 and $10.00; now .....

One hundred years ago, on the 10th of December, 1805, at Newburyport, Mass., William Lloyd Garrison was born. The suggestion made by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and very generally taken up by the press of the race and of the country, that the centenary of the great abolitionist should be generally celebrated on the 10th of December next, is one that the people at large should adopt and carry to a happy conclusion. While in a large sense the labors of William Lloyd Garrison wrought for the well-being of the people of the whole Republic, including the slaveholders, it will not be denied that those who benefited most by those labors were the African slaves and their descendants in the United States; it is highly appropriate, therefore, and whatever others may or may not do, it will be peculiarly gracious for the Afro-American people to make this anniversary a national event, not only for this year, but for all succeeding years, as William Lloyd Garrison, more than any other American, typified in his life and labors and achievements the "genius of universal emancipation." In order to carry out more fully on the 10th of December, and on all succeeding Decembers, the perpetuation of the name and good works of William Lloyd Garrison, it would be wise and appropiate to organize at once all over the country William Lloyd Garrison Clubs, with this ringing declaration of Mr. Garrison's as the ral- --- Splendid Suit Values $25.00 J.S.

Any Graham way. Ask to see our $25.00 714-20 Second Ave. lying cry: "I am in earnest—I will not equivocate—I will not retreat a single inch—and I will be heard." Surely the time is now when clubs of this character throughout the country with this sentiment as the rallying point for the concession of the civil and political rights inherently ours, but denied or abridged by iniquitous laws and vicious public opinion, and to be insisted upon by constant and well-directed agitation, should bear fruit. Garrison Clubs, such as we have indicated, should exist among us in all parts of the Republic, and we believe they will, sooner or later. It is incumbent upon us to keep alive the heroic spirit of William Lloyd Garrison, who stated the right as he understood it, and was uncompromising in defending his position, whatever the sacrifices he was called upon to make, and he was called upon to make many of the most poignant and humiliating character. Whether Garrison Clubs shall be organized at this time, as we suggest, or not, it is of supreme importance that the Afro-American people at large begin at once to prepare to celebrate in appropriate ways the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Lloyd Garrison on the 10th of December, 1905. It will be gratifying to our readers to know that, upon the request of a number of gentlemen interested in the success of the Garrison anniversary, the Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, of Boston, has consented to prepare a program for the anniversary, which will be adaptable for general use. Mr. Grimke, more than any man of the race living today, is fitted for this good work. His ancestors were intimately associated with the Garrison movement and he himself has written much of the movement and of the great central character of it.—New York Age. clerk this a a dive IN the CO N uel Sum T said You with the mor the 1908 acti an plain ans ney stab so again of t with object solving ant done judge genu P Bur king IN the CO J.

O. and office address: 9-10 Starr-Boyd Block, Seattle, County of King, Washington. PERSONAL. Mrs. Lizzie Donalson is visiting with her parents and relatives at Belma this week. Mr. and Mrs. Carter Nicholas, who was formerly engineer at Roslyn, but who is now located in the Sunnyside valley, where he has a farm and reports himself getting on very well. The many friends of Mr. William Orey, who at one time ran a barber shop on Yesler Way, will regret to learn that in the big conflagration at Mabton last Sunday evening his shop and its contents were burned. He carried no insurance, and he estimates his loss at $200. He and Frank T. Anderson ran the shop and alternately went to their respective ranches. Mr. Wilson, who has been living in Seattle for some time, but who last year bought a small ranch near Zillah, left for that point last Monday, with the view of spending the winter there. He thinks he will get a rig and go through the country buying up turkeys and take them home and fatten them for the market. The dealers in North Yakima have asked that he give them the first call on all he gets. The Seattle Republican would suggest that the various literary clubs and societies of the city hold a meeting on the 10th of December next in commemoration of the noted abolitionist, William Lloyd Garrison, as has been suggested in an excerpt taken from the New York Age, which is reproduced in another column. Too much cannot be said and done in honor of this man by the colored folk of this country in particular and the people in general, and especially those of the North, for he as much as anyone else, if not more so, is responsible for the emancipation of the slaves. Let the meeting be arranged for at once. Mr. E. F. Cantey, of Washington, D. C., is in the city with the view of permanently locating. He is a druggist by profession and expects sooner or later, in case he locates here, to open up a drug store. He is expecting Dr. D. T. Cardwell, also of Washington City, who also expects to locate here, and go into active practice. Mr. Cantey is a friend of Mr. A. R. Black and is being shown about the city by him. Rev. R. N. Countee, of Kansas City, Mo., lectured at the Mt. Zion Baptist church last Tuesday evening. He was entertained Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I. F. Norris, with whom he was intimately acquainted in Memphis, Tennessee. He lectured in Everett Thursday evening and will lecture in Tacoma this, Friday, evening, when he will begin his homeward trip. AMUSEMENTS. "Hooligan" Here. Famous Tramp Arrives at Depot, but Police Fail to Catch Him. Detective Brown arose early this morning, but he failed to capture one of the most notable characters of trampdom in the county. "Hooligan," whose description has weekly been sent broadcast throughout the country, dropped off the train at the new depot, but the detective, who is usually wide awake and "up to snuff," was for the first time in his life caught napping. "Hooligan" reached the center of the city safely when he was discovered by a newspaper representative. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN "You must be a Sherlock Holmes," he remarked as he sat down in a chair at the Stampede Hotel. But "Hooligan" isn't very talkative. Explaining that he saved his humor for the Sunday papers and his own stage representation, he called Arthur J. Aylesworth, his manager. "Yes, this is 'Hooligan,'" said Aylesworth, "but he has his Sunday clothes on. When he emerges from his dressing room at night you wouldn't know him. 'Hooligan' has been making a real hit this season. Business has been very large and the company appears to give good satisfaction. We haven't the largest or the best company on the road, but we aim to please, and I guess we do, if you hear what they say in other cities. We carry a company of fifteen this year, which includes several comedians of pronounced ability, and a number of specialty acts that are unique. This is our fourth season, and we have played nearly every state in the country. During the action of the comedy we introduce a number of popular songs, including several musical numbers which were written especially for this production. "Hooligan's Troubles." Something new in the line of farce comedies is "Hooligan's Troubles," which appears here on Nov. 5 at the Third Avenue Theatre. It is not the average tramp comedy, but beyond that standard, because "Hooligan" has a reputation which he must live up to. "Hooligan" as depicted on the stage is a happy-go-lucky individual, who through the ridiculous mistakes of others is compelled to suffer. He is never vulgar and the taste of the most fastidious will not be shocked by he or his company. Instead, the presentation will comprise pure comedy, music, dancing and other features of the farce comedy stage. KENTUCKY NEGROES The largest and most far-reaching financial scheme probably ever undertaken by Negroes of America is the organization of a trust company with a capital stock of $500,000, divided into shares of $50 each. The idea originated with T. Thomas Fortune, editor of the New York Age, and has progressed to a point for the preliminary meeting, November 2, to elect officers. The concern will be known as the Afro-American Trust Company, and will have headquarters in Louisville, Ky. Eight Negro banks operating in Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky have promised support. This shows that the thrifty, wideawake Kentucky Negro is forging to the front with his business brains. Here in Chicago the Sandy W. Crice Company, of 2918 State street, has sold thousands of dollars' worth of stock and has now enough ready money in the bank to open operations the 15th of next month. They will open with not less than seven thousand dollars' worth of goods in the house and every cent's worth of goods paid for. Negroes who have a little money to invest in a paying institution have made a big mistake in not getting in this great enterprise. But we understand that the books for selling stock will remain open several days yet and men who wish to join this Negro Marshall Field movement seem to still have a chance. 'here is no such store as this one proposes to be this side of Richmond, Va., where our people have two successfully operating and attracting the admiration of the world. But neither of those now succeeding in Richmond started with so much cash capital as the Sandy W. Trice Company has in bank ready to start with next month.—Ex.
