Bossism in politics got a severe jolt in the last election. When Negroes are able to rise above their environments and vote independent, it's an encouraging sign that they are undergoing a beneficial change. The free seed show of Washington City will be ready to throw open its doors December 1st, when the public will be furnished seed rubbish to burn. If the turkeys do not begin to roost pretty high some one else besides Sambo of Darktown Alley will be plucking their tail feathers for a national dinner. Kerr and McCord are not quite the equal of McCall and Hyde, the insurance manipulators, but they may be if you will give them just a little bit more time. Initiative and referendum, which was music to the Populist's soul a few years ago, is now being clamored for by Republicans who laughed it to scorn at that time. There seems to be no doubt but that Tom Myles was given poison in the Marcus saloon at Ravensdale. Now let justice be done the same as if Myles had razooed Marcus. The Unit Club, if it would vote as a unit, might be instrumental in electing a set of city officials of their liking, but will they? is the question, and, judging from the past, they hardly will. When the Star published a statement to the effect that Roy McDonald said Beede was justified in shooting him down like a dog, then the Star lied like a dog, as it does in almost every other instance. Why should the present members of the school board of this school district be perpetuated in office? Is it because the board has the expending of thousands of dollars annually? A change will do no harm. If Hearst becomes a candidate for the presidency on the public ownership plat- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1905 form, Editor Blethen will be between the devil and the deep sea, as he is trying to play horse with both Hearst and the capitalist at one and the same time. If Councilman Cole does not have the editor of the Star arrested and at the same time begin civil action against the company for defamation of character, he will not have the same high standing in this community he has enjoyed in the past. That Willie Hearst was elected mayor of New York is a foregone conclusion, and despite his tomfooleries he should be seated. If the Republicans ever hope to succeed they should see to it that justice be done by ousting Tammany. Thirteen may be an unlucky number, but it has not been much of a Jonah to Seattle, which was settled the 13th of November fifty-four years ago, but the thirteen may be a Jonah the other way, which accounts for that wonderful Seattle Spirit we hear and see so much of. Because, forsooth, a few railroad employers might stand a show of loosing a few dollars in wages they have arrayed themselves against lower railroad rates for farmers and shippers. Such pin-headed idiots ought to hire some flunky to soak their heads in a swill barrel for sour mash for pigs. The editor of this enterprising sheet has been too busy for the past year to raise chrysanthemums for the flower show, which is now in progress in this city at Christensen's Hall in the Arcade block, but he has a couple of dark daisies that are just budding that he will put against the world for beauty. In suggesting that the city authorities permit every one using municipal light to have a porch light free, the Green Lake News correspondent hit the nail on the head. If every house along well populated streets burned a porch light there would be a world of difference in the night appearance of our city. There is a Carpenter in the city that has done a great deal of building of cities, and yet he is not considered handy with either the saw or the hammer. Few men of this great country have been more instrumental in the upbuilding of its great metropolitan cities than Frank G. Carpenter, the well known newspaper correspondent. The editor hereof, however, holds a lasting grudge against Mr. Carpenter, for it was the reading of his pleasing newspaper articles that gave him the newspaper disease, which is responsible for his present financial distress. This is said advisedly, for it's only in rare instances where the operator of a weekly newspaper ever gets more than two jumps from poverty's door. Nevertheless, we still ad- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS mire the well written articles of this great mind, that has done more than any other correspondent of the world to keep the reading public abreast of the drift of Uncle Sam's growth. He is seeking food for thought in Seattle, and some way, we suspect, the world will be informed of the fact that there really exists a New York No.2 on the Puget Sound, whose name is Seattle. A. L. KEMPSTER. The latter part of last week, and Monday of this week, was taken up in the trial of a damage suit against the Renton Street Railway Company, before Judge Hatch in the superior court. One Hildebrandt was a witness for the plaintiff and swore against the street car company. His evidence was given on Friday. He is an employee of the Seattle Electric Company, and laid off with the consent of one of his superior officers to become a witness in obedience to the subpoena which had been served upon him. Saturday he returned to his work as a motorman but later in the day it is alleged he was called into the office of Mr. Kempster, superintendent of the Seattle Electric Company, when he claims, that Kempster read him from the transcript the testimony he had given on the trial and asked him if he had given such testimony to which he, Hildebrandt, said he had. Whereupon Mr. Kempster informed Mr. Hildebrandt that it was contrary to the rules of the company and that their employes should not give evidence in court without first having the consent of the company, and Hildebrandt was thereupon immediately discharged and blacklisted for his conduct. These facts, startling as they are, were recited to Judge Hatch on Monday morning in open court and were followed up later by the filing of an information charging Kempster with tampering and intimidating witnesses in a trial in the court, and a citation has been issued to Mr. Kempster directing him to appear in court on the 27th to show cause why he should not be punished under the law for his conduct. When a street car company, or any other employer of labor, attempts to bulldoze, intimidate or trifle with witnesses summoned to appear in our courts of justice, it is time for an example to be made of them. Mr. Kempster will doubtless find out that the temper of the American people is aroused and that the spirit which is now abroad in the land is to put a salutatory check upon this bossism, dictatorship and oppression of corporations. There is not a citizen in the city of Seattle but believes in good government and the perpetuation of the American institutions, especially those principles of freedom of conscience and action in the performance of the duties of citizenship, but that should lend aid to have Mr. Kempster, if he is found guilty, severely punished and he should take his place alongside of thugs and bouncers and the disrespect of law, order and society.

BRIEFS our Specialty Telephones: {Sunset, Red 1971 Independent, 1306 ANNOUNCEMENT ALBERT HANSEN 706 FIRST AVENUE Jeweler and Silversmith Established 1883 The latter day citizen of Seattle paid little attention to a very important event in the city last Monday and yet those interested in it owning to bygone days spent the entire day in celebrating the fifty-fourth birthday of the city of Seattle. On prominent spots where events of a public nature first took place the historical society, aided by the old pioneers, placed bronze tablets on the fronts of the great edifices that have taken the place of the crude structure that stood on the spot more than a half century ago. The chief point of celebration was at Alki Point, where the Denny pioneer band first landed and decided to build a great city, which was the 13th of November, fifty-four years ago. Before the winter, however, they changed their plans and broke camp at Alki Point and settled on what is now Greater Seattle, and the first log structure erected in the new town site was by C. D. Boren, who still lives, and took an active part in the recent ceremonies, and the spot where he erected his log cabin home is now covered with the magnificent brick block, a cut of which appears in this connection. On one of the pillars of this block a bronze tablet was placed with an inscription thereon showing it to be the first spot on which a white man lived in what is now one of the greatest commercial cities in the United States—Seattle. What changes have taken N anticipation of occupying our large, new corner store, in the Lowman building, before the Holidays, we purchased an immense stock of the highest grade Jewelry, Sterling Silver, Cut Glass and European Art Goods. The new store is far from finished—it is too late to move this year—so we are selling all these fine goods at the lowest prices ever quoted in the Pacific Northwest.

The Denny estate is not inly in tact, but is growing richer every day and before Roland H. Denny, who, at the time Seattle was first settled, was a mere babe in his mother's arms, will have reached the age of Mr. Boren, one of the original settlers, who is in more or less good health today, the Denny estate will be the richest in the Pacific Northwest, all of which is a great tribute to the man who founded it and who successfully financiered it until his death. As has already been said at every point where bronze tablets were placed fine structures now stand. Mr. Boren's old homestead site is the center of the busiest part of the great city. The homestead that Mr. Boren paid the national government some sixteen dollars for is worth multiplied millions of dollars fifty-four years thereafter. The little plot of ground on which that rude little cabin stood could not be purchased today from its owner, James D. Hoge, for less than half a million dollars, and this of itself marks the greatest change between the new and the old.

Politics as a business is disappointing and ruinous. On that rock has many a promising life been wrecked. It does not, save in wide separated instances, pay. But interest, vital and lasting, in politics, is important for the business man. How else can he keep up his end? How else can he understand the tides of commerce and the chances of trade? How else can he assist in guiding the ship of state into great commercial harbors and through the storms of mercantile vicissitude? PETKOVITS FUR CO.

He has feared to make enemies by boldly taking sides. He has hesitated to make a bold stand for what he knows are his rights and advantages politically, lest he drive away customers. Dodging Scylla on the one side, he has run into Charybdis on the other. The task of bringing business men into active participation in national and state politics the mercantile associations have assumed, and for this if nothing else they deserve great credit. To them is due, in great measure, the introduction of useful and necessary bills in legislators and congresses. They have fought adverse propositions, vigorously and successfully.

In the past most of the statesmen, presidents, senators, representatives, have been lawyers. There is a tendency toward mercantile representatives for the epople, and it is a wise one. The man who has made a financial success of business should be able to do as well with the affairs of the nation.

Brownell succeed Representatives Will E. Humphrey of Seattle. So well understood is the lineup that it is common talk in Everett and men who have opposed Brownell in the past and are still more or less opposed to his political ambitions, are being whipped into line with, "You can not afford to oppose your own county having a representative in Congress," which is having its effect. "I know Brownell has already been a candidate for the same nomination twice, and this will be his third attempt, but if he fails this time the politicians of Snohomish will never give him another indorsement for that nomination," came from a well known Snohomish county politician one day this week." I am not much of a Brownell man," he continued, "but I am heart and soul for a Snohomish county man, and if he can get the nomination I will be glad of it, and for that reason I propose to support him once more. I am certain that Piles promised to support him at or about the time Piles was elected to the Senate, and since that time he has been working on Ankeny to also get his co-operation for Brownell's nomination, and I have every reason to believe at this time that the deal has been signed, sealed and delivered, and both of the United States Senators will give Brownell their undivided support, and it therefore looks to me as if Everett, after many rebuffs, stand a good show of getting a congressman, for, you know, nomination is equal to election in this state." * * * In the above political combination it doubtless will be no very hard matter for Ankeny to deliver the goods on the convention floor, but, if Piles delivers the goods (King county delegation), the Pie-maker is of the opinion that it will only be done after one of the most desperate political battles that King county has ever witnessed, and that is saying a good deal. This is the home of Congressman Humphry, and he has a host of strong personal friends here, as well as a host of supporters, who would not stand idly by and see him done up in a manner like that just to appease the "get-even" stand taken by Senator Piles. The senator is opposing the renomination of Mr. Humphrey for three reasons. First, because Mr. Humphrey did not take an active interest in his personal campaign; secondly, because he promised Leigh Hunt that, if he was ever elected to the Senate, he would do all in his power to see that Brownell was elected to the House of Representatives, and on that promise Hunt contributed very largely to his senatorial campaign; thirdly, because Piles has a sneaking belief that if Humphrey is not nipped in the bud in the very near future he might be in his way when he (Piles) is up for re-election. For Senator Piles to succeed at what he has mapped out, as said above, it will be necessary for him to defeat Mr. Humphrey in King county, and even then he might not be successful in his undertaking if Humphrey's friends should make the proper showing before the next state convention. They would THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN have plenty of material along this line to work on, and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that it would be considerably aired on the floor of the convention. * * * Even at this time the Pie-maker is inclined to think he can point out one reason why Mr. Piles' plans will fail. It is a well known [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. HON. W. E. HUMPHREY, The Man in Front of the Senatorial Guns. fact that Senator Piles is a railroad corporation mouthpiece. Notwithstanding the fact that he is now a United States senator, the firm of which he is the senior member and which firm he himself declared over his own signature he would continue to be connected with, is the legal adviser of more railroad interest in this state than any other firm in the Northwest. Of course, under such circumstances Mr. Piles is in the senate ostensibly to look after the Jim Hill railroad interests. That Senator Ankeny is and has been the representative of the O. R. & N. goes without saying. There is hardly any doubt in the world but that at the request of the political representative of that railroad the other roads put up fabulous sums of money for Mr. Ankeny's election. Then, of course, both of the United States senators are simply railroad agents in the Senate, to do whatever the railroad companies in this state desire them. You say they are too honorable to do anything even for the railroads that would be injurious to their constituents or reflect on their integrity, but they would betray a trust if they did not do so, and then, again, you must not overlook the fact that a corporation man thinks he has no constituency except the company he represents. Now, if Frank H. Brownell is nominated to the House of Representatives the railroads would be adding one more agent to those it already has in Congress from this state, for Brownell has been a railroad corporation lawyer ever since he has been in Everett, and the fact that he is estimated to be worth a quarter of a million dollars today is due solely to the fact that he has been liberally paid by them for the services he has rendered them in a political way. Instead, therefore, of the Great Northern railroad going out of politics, as it declared after the retiring of J. D. Farrell it would do, it is preparing to go deeper into the game and control every phase of the political situation in the state. FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1905 If the people of the state will permit this kind of a deal to be put through, the Piemaker is sadly mistaken in them. Corporations have ridden the Republican party to death wherever it could do so, and the recent landslide in the East is attributable solely to such a state of affairs. The corporations already have their fangs fastened about the Republican party of this state, and are not leaving a stone unturned to suck every drop of political blood it has in it, and if they continue to push things as they have in the recent past, every county in the state, as well as the state itself, will be drowned in a great tidal wave of socialism. SCHOOL BOARD. There is going to be an election of members of the school board in December in this city, dear readers, and if you have any interest in the matter whatever you should not lose sight of the important event. The present members of the board are up for election and they are strongly backed by the secretary of the school board, whose job depends on their election. They are also strongly backed by Superintendent Frank Cooper, who wishes to control the school board, and, finally, they are being strongly backed by those business men who expect to profit from the great amount of building these men will do for school purposes for the next three years. That each and every one of them has a selfish motive in wanting the present board re-elected is plain to be seen. If any class of citizens are desirous of having some one elected to an office and their motives for wanting such person or persons elected to the position is selfish, then the public should consider that sufficient grounds for turning such candidates down. These men have been repeatedly elected to the position of school director. The position is without pay and they are men wrapped up head and ears in business pursuits. Is it possible that they can afford to give us as much time to the school board as does the mayor of this city to his official duties, for which he gets a salary of $3,000 per year, and who refuses to accept a renomination because he is not able to afford it, and who has been offered an increase of salary of $10,000, to be made up by the business men, unless they have a selfish motive somewhere down the line in being repeatedly elected to this purely gratis job? There may not be a nigger in the woodpile, but it looks a good deal like it, and therefore if you desire to have any voice in the election of school directors the first Saturday in December you are advised at this time to go and register. Let men and women register by the scores, and let there be a fair vote of the city cast on that occasion. Including the women's vote there should not be a vote less than 15,000 cast at the next election. Get out yourself, get your wife out and then let each and every one of you make yourself a committee of one to get your neighbor and his wife out to register. There will be a number of good candidates on the carpet from which you can choose, and if you honestly think the present members are of your liking, vote for them, but by all means vote for somebody. In the opinion of the Pie-Maker there is need of a change in the personnel of the school board of this city. The New State Oil Inspector, John L. Canutt Review of the Life of William Lloyd Garrison FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1905. State Oil Inspector John L. Canutt, who hails from Whitman county, has for a number of years been a conspicuous figure in the politics of this state. In number of inhabitants Whitman county is the fourth in the state and its agricultural lands are owned and farmed by some of the wealthiest farmers in the United States, and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that the banks of Colfax have more money in their vaults than any other city of its size in the world; and it can be further said without fear of successful contradiction that the farmers of Whitman have more money in the bank as a result of their labor on their farms than the farmers of any other county in the United States, if not in the world. The governor of this state, therefore, had ample reason for recognizing that county in his distribution of patronage with a liberal hand. Mr. Canutt assumed the duties of the office of oil inspector the first of November and it is his object to run the office on about half what it has cost the state to run it, and to that end he has already begun to cut down the office and field forces. He is strong on the theory, "a public office is a public trust," and that the people are not being served properly when there are a lot of supernumerary officials hanging about an office who are conspicuously busy only on pay days. While such has not been true of the office of oil inspector, as it was only created by the last legislature, yet it is too often an actual fact, and Mr. Canutt is pursuing the right course in the very outset to head off this common error which so often creeps into public offices where a large force of men are required to look after its affairs. John L. Canutt was born in Douglas county, Oregon, February 1st, 1867, but when only a boy five years of age his father moved to the Palouse country, the southern section of Whitman county. The family resided here two years and was engaged in the stock raising business. The family then (From New York Age.) Martin Luther's "Here I take my stand" was not braver than the "I will be heard" of William Lloyd Garrison. It did not seem within the range of human probability that a young man without representation, without influence, without social or political connections, without money and standing, alone would ever be able to make good those audacious and sublime words. But this the young reformer did actually do within a few months only after he had uttered them. Within a few months the whole country, North and South alike, was talking on the subject of slavery and The Liberator. Almost at once proofs came to Garrison that he was heard by the people of the North and by the people of the South. There were snarling criticisms from New England editors, animadadverting on his "violent and intemperate attacks on slaveholders;" savage growls from the South against The Liberator as a "scandalous and incendiary budget of sedition." Letters breathing violence against him reached the office THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN State Oil Ins moved back to Oregon, where the father was engaged in farming and stock raising. Believing Washington the place in 1879 he returned to Whitman county, where he and his sons began stock raising on an extensive scale and soon the Canutt farm was JOHN L. J. H. JOHN L. CANUTT. JOHN L. CANUTT. famous throughout the state for its fine fruits, vegetables and wheat. Alexander Canutt, the father, was a native of Indiana, but crossed the plains in 1855-6 and settled in Oregon. He was a veteran of the Indian wars in Oregon and his widow, who is now of The Liberator from the South. Southern grand juries indicted the editor, steps were taken by at least one Southern governor looking to the extradition of the reformer, while the legislature of Georgia offered a reward of $5,000 for his apprehension and conviction. Within one year from the first issue of The Liberator the whole country had heard this champion of the slave. Still "help came but slowly" to him. With a single instrument he had thrown the South into widespread alarm, and thawed the apathy of the North into widespread and angry attention. But none knew better than he that while all this was well, it was not enough. Instantly powerful as he had proved one paper to be, alone it was inadequate to the work of prolonged anti-slavery agitation which the ultimate abolishment of the evil rendered necessary. Back of him and The Liberator he needed numbers, organization and coadjutors like Aaron and Hur to hold up his arms in the long battle with slavery. Therefore, with the instinct of genius, he --- pector, John I quite aged, draws a pension from the state of Oregon, owing to the fact that her husband was one of the defenders of the early settlers against the attacks of hostile Indian outbreaks. The first appearance of the subject CANUTT. of this sketch in state politics was in 1896 when he was elected a member of the legislature from the Seventh legislative district, getting four-fifths of all the votes cast. In the session of the legislature, which followed in the winter of 1897, he in- William Lloyd proceeded to organize the movement started by him. This he effected in Boston a year after the first appearance of The Liberator, when the New England Anti-Slavery Society was formed by himself and eleven of his disciples. Within the year following this event the American Anti-Slavery Association was organized at Philadelphia. Other societies sprang from these all over the North, and with them the agitation against slavery, begun single-handed by Garrison, became an organized movement pushing its moral forces everywhere through the free states with terrible earnestness. Garrison, thus equipped with his organized freedom power, pitted himself and it with relentless purpose against the organized slave power of the Union. And the battle thereafter raged along the whole line in church and state and throughout the social world and throughout that other world of business also. And everywhere Garrison was the heart of the agitation, the master spirit of the abolition movement. At this grave crisis in their history troduced and was instrumental in the passage of the now celebrated maximum freight rate reduction bill, which has saved the farmers of the wheat section of the state millions of dollars. In this session of the legislature Mr. Canutt opposed the election of George Turner to the United States senate, he supporting Charles E. Cline from first to last, and being chairman of the railroad committee he was able to do a great many things toward blocking Mr. Turner's election, and he only succeeded after a wilful expenditure of money. He was elected to the legislature on the free silver issue, which swept over the country at that time like a great tidal wave. The issue soon became defunct and then Mr. Canutt returned to his first love, the Republican party, and has affiliated with it ever since. In the last campaign he opposed the election of Senator Turner to the governorship and despite the fact the principles that Mr. Mead was supposed to represent seemed unfavorable to the wheat growing section he took the stump for Mead and did a world of good for the Republican ticket throughout his section of the state and carried his home precincts which have always been Democratic by an overwhelming majority for Mead as against Turner. John L. Canutt is a brother of Joseph Canutt, the present sheriff of Whitman county, who has been four times nominated for the same office and three times elected. His mother and other relatives live in the county and Mr. Canutt himself owns a farm consisting of 1,200 acres of as fine farming lands as that section of the state boasts of and that is saying a great deal. His farm besides raising large quantities of wheat, produces large crops of berries of all kinds, which find a ready market at home and abroad. He has a fine bunch of cattle and all manner of livestock and poultry. His family for the most part of the time reside in Colfax, but periodically visit their ranch. 米 in this country, it may be well for the colored people to mark carefully the means employed by Garrisonian abolitionism in its struggle with the evil of slavery more than seventy years ago. These means were: First, petitions to congress on the subject of slavery; second, the printing and circulation of anti-slavery literature; and third, the anti-slavery agent or lecturer who went up and down through the free states gathering facts and preaching the gospel of freedom. Such were the simple means which became in the hands of the anti-slavery societies that unequaled machinery by which they operated on public opinion, and through which they produced moral and political results revolutionary and prodigious. In September, 1834, the reformer received the greatest individual help which ever came to him during his life, when he was united in marriage to Miss Helen Eliza Benson, daughter of George Benson, a venerable philanthropist of Rhode Island. She was indeed a rare woman, wonderfully adapted in every way to be the wife of such a man. And he needed now, if ever a man did need it, a home such as Mrs. Garrison made for him, in which to find refuge from the storm of hate and persecution which was then beating with increasing fury upon his devoted head. For the rapid spread of the slavery agitation alarmed and enraged the South, alarmed and enraged also the North. And when the former demanded of the latter its suppression, forcible suppression of the agitators was thereupon attempted throughout the free states. The instrument employed for this purpose was the mob. Mobs broke out in one state and then in another. From Vermont to Illinois the Northern people went mob-mad. These advanced in terrible succession popular inundations of violence which overthrow for the nonce of freedom of assembly, the freedom of the press, and the right of free speech on the subject of slavery. The hated abolitionists possessed then no rights, either personal or property, which the rest of the Nation felt bound to respect. All were ruthlessly attacked as in the case of the burning of Pennsylvania hall in Philadelphia, the destruction of James G. Birney's press in Cincinnati, and the murder of Elijah P. Lovejoy at Alton, Ill. Mr. Garrison was attacked by this wild cat-like spirit of the times, and escaped barely with his life in the city of Boston itself. He had invited his friend, George Thompson, the famous English abolitionist and orator, to assist the movement against slavery in America. And Thompson had crossed the water for that purpose, and was rendering aid to the agitation with surprising eloquence. This interference of a foreigner in the domestic affairs of the states fired the worst passions of the city against him. He was engaged to address the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society on October 21, 1835; but his danger was so great that he was advised to leave the city instead. Garrison agreed to take his place, and upon his head the wrath of the broadcloth mob broke that day with terrific violence. He was hunted from one building to another, and was at last seized and dragged through the streets with a rope about his neck. After this terrible struggle he was rescued from the clutches of the mob and taken into the city hall, thence he was spirited by a ruse, and, after a thrilling pursuit by the mob, he was committed to Leverett street jail, as the only place in the city which was able to afford him protection from his enemies. Throughout these years of mob violence and martyrdom the prophet did not flinch, or falter, or retreat a single inch from the position which he had taken. The fires of pro-slavery persecution could not burn out of his breast the love of his fellow-man, albeit they were slaves, nor singe the single sublime purpose of his unconquerable will. The South put a heavy price upon his head one day, but the next he faced it with the same stern and uncompromising message of justice. Boston mobbed him one week, but the next he confronted her as before, the same grand and commanding man of God. From 1835 to 1860 the history of the moral movement against slavery in America is the history of this one man and his great coadjutors like Wendell Phillips, Theodore D. Weld, Parker Pillsbury, Frederick Douglass, Theo- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN dore Parker, Lucretia Mott, Stephen and Abby Kelly Foster, the sisters Grimke, Samuel E. Sewall, Ellis Gray Loring, Maria Weston Chapman, David Lee and Lydia Maria Child, Francis Jackson, Samuel J. May, Samuel May, Edmund Quincy, Henry I. and William I, Bowditch, and Lucy Stone. It was Garrison who made Abraham Lincoln possible, and it was his principles of freedom which finally triumphed in the war, and penned by the hand of the great President the Emancipation Proclamation. Throughout that war the great abolitionist supported with all his might the cause of the Union, and held up the honor of Lincoln. And when the war closed Lincoln, recognizing the supreme part which Garrison had played in the slavery struggle, invited him to be present with his old friend George Thompson as guests of the newly restored Union at the reraising of the National flag over Fort Sumter. Well does the writer recall Mr. Garrison's visit to Charleston at that time, how he addressed the colored people in their public meetings, and how they in turn poured at his feet such manifestations of love and gratitude as have rarely crowned the labors of a reformer. The world service of these labors for humanity was fitly recognized on the occasion of Mr. Garrison's visit to England in 1867. At a notable breakfast given in London in his honor, and which was attended by many illustrious men, John Bright, who presided, after referring to our Civil War, remarked that "probably history has no sadder, and yet, if we take a different view, I may say also, probably no brighter page. To Mr. Garrison more than any other man this is due. His is the creation of that opinion which has made slavery hateful, and which has made freedom possible in America. His name is venerated in his own country, venerated where not long ago it was a name of obloquy and reproach. His name is venerated in this country and in Europe wheresoever Christianity softens the hearts and lessens the sorrows of men." But John Stuart Mill's remarks were perhaps the speech of the occasion. He found two lessons in Mr. Garrison's life: "The first lesson is: Aim at something great; at things which are difficult (and there is no great thing which is not difficult). Do not pare down your undertaking to what you can hope to see successful in the next few years, or in the years of your own life. . . . The other lesson which it appears to me important to inforce, among the many that may be drawn from our friend's life, is this: If you aim at something noble, and succeed in it, you will generally find that you have succeeded not in that alone. A hundred other good and noble things which you never dreamed of will have been accomplished by the way, and the more certainly, the sharper and more agonizing has been the struggle which preceded the victory. . . . This, then, is an additional item of the debt which America and mankind owe to Mr. Garrison and his noble associates; and it is well calculated to deepen our sense of the truth which his whole career most strikingly illustrates—that though our best-directed efforts may often seem wasted and lost, nothing coming of them that can be pointed to and distinctly identified as a definite gain to humanity; Grah Annual Values Up to $25.00 $9 Suits of Desirable Materials and good mixtures.

So has it been with Mr. Garrison." Garrison's abolitionism went the whole length of the humanity of the colored race, and all that that implies in a color-prejudice ridden country like this. The poorest or most ignorant of them, whether bound or free, were his brothers and sisters. From first to last he regarded them as bone of his bone and blood of his blood, as children with him of a common Father. He never looked down on them as wanting in any essential respect the manhood which was his. To him they were men and women, entitled to freedom, entitled besides to equality of civil and political rights in the state, equality and fraternity in the church, equality and fraternity everywhere, North and South alike. This is the doctrine which he practiced. In not a single instance was he ever found separating himself on account of race from his brother in black. He drew no color line in public, he drew none in private, saying to the Negro: "Thus far, but no farther," not even socially. He went into their homes and was in all things with them; and they went into his home in like manner. He forgot that he was white, forgot that they were black, forgot the pride of race, forgot the stigma of race is the tie of human kinship and need, which hound him indissolubly to them. If he possessed what they did not have, viz., the chacne of a man in society, the rights of a citizen in the country, the equality of a brother in the church, this --- 1 pli ing for fice off th sa tid clit reg 1 du ead wi reg an 19 be o'd su An tle th pre th lov boo 1st S 1 2nd S 3rd S 1 4th t S 5th 5th 9th S 7th 8th t S 1st 1 t 2nd J S 3rd H 4th t 2 5th 2 S 6th 3 S 7th 3 S 8th 2 9th 1 s 1st H J 2nd 11 S 3rd 13 S 4th 22 S 5th 22 S 6th 23 S 7th 36 S 8th 33 S 9th U A 10th 27 11th 23 12th 18 13th 14 14th 42 St 1st H AV 2nd 3r 3rd 3r 4th Bd tid St 5th at an 6th ten de 1st Fi 2nd Hd 1st 3rd Fi 4th 1 ten Str 5th Fo 6th 7th 1st 1 1st 2nd 1st 3rd Fi 4th 1 5th FRIDAY, NOV. 17, 1905 Bham's Suit Sale $1.85 See Window Display and styles in blue, black, tan, gray and ton, blouse, short and long jacket styles; skirts.

As he lived and loved and labored, so he died, true to the great principles of liberty, justice and human brotherhood. Indeed, his last written word to the public was in defense of the freedom and citizenship of the colored people of the South against the violent hostility of that section toward them. With dying breath he blew a last trumpet blast for "liberty and equal rights for each, for all, and forever, wherever the lot of man is cast within our broad domains." And on May 24, 1879, the then aged prophet and friend of man was gathered to his fathers at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Henry Villard, in New York. "Men of a thousand shifts and wiles, look here! See one straightforward conscience put in pawn To win a world; see the obedient sphere By bravery's simple quavilation drawn. "Shall we not head the lesson taught of old, And by the Present's lips repeated still, In our own single manhood to be bred, Fortressed in conscience and impregnable will?" ARCHIBALD H. GRIMKE.

A GOOD MAN GONE Methodism in general and African Methodism in particular lost a strong as well as effective advocate in the death of Rev. George A. Bailey, the well-known Negro pioneer preacher of the Pacific Coast, who has spent nearly fifty years on the Coast between California and this state. While Mr. Bailey was something above the usual three score and ten years of age, yet until a very short time before he was stricken he showed no great signs of senile decay, but on the contrary, he pastored his church regularly and was here and there every day looking after the upbuilding of his church and his race, in this section of the country. While he was strong in his convictions he was nevertheless a tireless worker for his church and for the most part always enlisted persons of the highest moral standing in the community in which he worked and lived in the cause in which he was so vitally interested. For the past two years or more he has been stationed at Everett, endeavoring to build up a church at that point for the connection to which he belonged, yet the folk of Seattle knew him as well if not better than the Everett people, for at the A. M. E. church on Fourteenth avenue he for a number of years held forth as pastor and presiding elder. He labored hard here for his cause and had much success. Looking back over the life he lived while here and since he has been in this state we are prepared to say that it was an exemplary one and the hundred and one other preachers of his denomination, who are running from pilar to post to get "fat charges" or get places where they can preach a little bit and graft a big bit would do well to learn more of the life of Rev. Bailey, who went to his last resting place a few days after spending more than a half century in the harness for the church without having besmirched his reputation in a single instance. During his long stay in Seattle there was no outcry of him grafting in politics or misappropriating the funds of the church, which he was pastoring. In speaking of Mr. Bailey one day this week Hon. A. J. Falknor of Everett said: "I regret very much to hear of the death of Rev. Bailey, for I had learned to admire him in the very highest. I believe he was one of the most faithful old souls that I ever met. He often came to me to advise with him on his church work, and I always felt glad of the honor of so doing. I have met men probably more brilliant, but I have met few more honest and devout than he seemed to be." As did Mr. Falknor speak of him, so did others of the exemplary life he led while in Everett. The writer in going over the various preachers that have pastored the A. M. E. church in this city since 1892 is of the opinion that, the Rev. Bailey was the only one that there was not some kind of a scandal connected with, which happened some time during his pastorate of the church. While he was not a man generally loved by his parishioners, yet they always found him straightforward and honest in all of his dealings with his members and others, and for those reasons he succeeded when others of a vasilating character would have failed. He never mixed in politics and in that he showed his good sense, for no man can preach the gospel today and politics the next day and be a success at either the gospel or politics. Let us THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN hope, therefore, that "after life's fitful fever the old gentleman has gone to that home "not made with hands, eternal in the heavens;" where he will receive the reward of the faithful from Him. "who doeth all things well." The remains of Rev. G. A. Bailey were not shipped to California, as first proposed, but were interred at Everett, Rev. S. J. Collins officiating in the burial rites. Mr. and Mrs. W. Tales and little daughter, of Chicago, are in the city with the view of making their home here. A public reception will be tendered Rev. F. L. Donahue in the parlors of the A. M. E. church November 23rd. A literary program has been arranged for the occasion and refreshments will be served. The public is cordially invited to be present. AT THIRD AVENUE THEATRE. There is nothing funnier, if you are making a study of life, than the taste of the people for different forms of amusement. About 20 per cent or less love music, although when the big musical events come around, lots of people like to be identified with them to make believe that they are enjoying themselves, while in truth they are being bored. The Williams Opera Company, the clever troop of juvenile operatic artists, are appearing at the Third Avenue Theatre this week; had they come here heralded as having been a Boston or New York success, all Seattle would have been in the Quee-Zee to see them, but because they live here, or most of them, and have only made one tour, they have been indifferently patronized this week, although they are putting up the cleverest show seen at the Third Avenue Theatre this season, and musically within the comprehension of everybody. They played the "Rajah of Pazala," a splendid comic opera the first four nights of the week, and they are presenting "Tips," a lively musical comedy, the latter half of this week. So if you don't believe they are as clever as we say, you have yet an opportunity of verifying the truth of this article. The first act of "A Human Slave," which will be the attraction at the Third Avenue Theatre all next week, starting with a matinee Sunday, takes place in the business offices of the Stockton Iron Company; the second act shows the home of a poor man and woman in the midst of a winter blizzard; the third act shows the immense rolling mills of the Stockton Iron Company in full operation, and the fourth act takes place in the library of the Stockton mansion. Every one of the scenes are masterpieces of the scene painter's art. Between the psychologists on the one side, who declare that Ibsen's "Ghosts" is the greatest sermon that was ever preached, and the moralists on the other, who insist that Ibsen's dramatic and powerful portrayal of the "sins of the fathers being visited upon the children," is morbid, unhealthy and immoral, it is small wonder that the public wish to see and judge for themselves. And after all, it is to the discriminating, theatergoing public that a dramatist must look for just criticism. "Ghosts" as presented by Harry Mestayer's own PERSONAL. "GHOSTS." company, has been favored with the largest audiences that have ever greeted a high class play of that character, which would indicate that the public likes to form its own opinions, in regard to things dramatic in these days of independent thinking. "Ghosts" will be presented at the Grand for two nights commencing Monday next.
