Why could not Malmo successfully operate a yellow journal from now on in as much as he recently acquired a gold head. Legs and literature may sound rather euphonious, but the man who has a weakness for legs is pretty generally weak in literature. Councilman Murphy let go a broadside last Monday night in the city council that made the S. E. C. wonder what has come over its own. It now looks as though the courts of this county have a Corner on the Odessa University property and sooner or later some one will look pretty striped before it's broken. Kerr and McCord are fathering a railroad scheme and if successful just look out for them getting hold of another big receivers' job in less than two years thereafter. Norway's new ruler starts off under calm skies and lets hope that in this case a good beginning means a good ending, and though he reign for many years there will not be a cloud to bedim his pathway. Dr. Woods Hutchinson is of the opinion "marriage after all is not a failure." He doubtless has been visiting the public schools of this country, which is sufficient evidence to convince most any one that marriage is fraught with results. It almost breaks the record when a couple respectively 77 and 73 begin to battle in the courts for marital freedom. If there is not a fine Italian hand behind the scenes that is working for a selfish motive then there is a nigger in the woodpile. It required half a column in the morning paper for the Great Northern to inform the public that it had cut its running time between Seattle and St. Paul down thirty minutes. Now, who the devil but the devil will ever be any the wiser of the fact, and he will be so sleepy that he can not tell it. And now the farmers of Eastern Washington are forming a wheat pool in order to combat the money pool, which has for its object the regulating of the prices of wheat. Now, if the hayseeds will only elect high SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1905 salaried officers for their pool they will be all the same Wall street. What of the future? asks the P.-I. Queer question to come from the brain of Brainard, who looks into the future and deciphers its mysteries the same as a mathematician does a quadratic equation. The future for the next four months, however, will be darn damp. The exclusive franchise on West Lake boulevard failed of passage last Friday evening. No other kind will be passed and in its defeat the Seattle Electric Company has a trump up its sleeve, which is will play after the next election, when the exclusive franchise will fall into its jackpot. Put this in your hat. It is currently reported that the Republican city central committee has decided to not permit the direct primary system to be operated at the next municipal election in Seattle. Does that mean that the Seattle Electric Company is afraid to risk a vote of the people lest it gets turned down with a dull thud? Miss Carrau's nuncupative will seems to have the accredited nine lives of the superstitious black cat. It has just taken on a new lease of life and promises another round in the courts, though it has been repeatedly killed off. But come to think a million dollars is not a bad thing to fight for, even though the odds are all against you. Down in Louisiana a Negro was shot dead in a justice court while he was being tried for a misdemeanor, and that, too, by the court's constable. That's justice with a vengeance, and with such common exhibitions of justice in the United States no country in the whole world has greater rights to appeal to Russia to desist from her barbarous treatment of the Jews than this. The Negro was a sailor and a British subject and now Johnny Bull is making inquiries into the matter. The wrong Negro has been killed and Uncle Sam will pay over a few thousand dollars to square the deal and warn his subjects that, in the future, they must be careful to only kill United States Negroes in their halls of justice. The Seattle Times is just now working overtime in support of the Seattle Electric railway monopoly. The "Kernel" is busy belaboring a straw bogy on which he has run up a red flag labeled "Municipal Ownership." The redeeming feature of his raving diatribes is that every lie is self-labeled. He occasionally quotes correct figures which kick back. For instance, it was a silly Sunday yarn that the Cardiff Corporation Tramway returned a profit for the last fiscal year of only $101.60. As an apology to intelligent readers, the "Kernel" showed five lines be- LIBRARY TY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS low that the operating expenses of the Cardiff system were only 65 per cent. of the income. Figures are dangerous playthings. If the "Kernel" were only consistent—but pshaw! Why criticise nature and expect the impossible? Again, the electric editorial of last Sunday referred to Glasgow. This is positively against the orders of the Press Bureau of the American Street Railway Association. Glasgow statistics are carefully blue-penciled out of all the anti-municipal ownership literature propaganda, sent out to subsidized sheets and gratuitous sycophants at the shrine of monopoly. It is hardly to be expected that any American will flock to the slave-pen of private monopoly and ask for a set of shackles, under the influence of such statements as those of the "Kernel" last Sunday, viz: "In Glasgow (public ownership) there is paid into the reserve fund out of each dollar earned 35 cents; in Boston (private ownership) nothing." "Glasgow has laid aside, in various reserve funds in eleven years, from the net earnings of the property, the sum of $8,600,000. And yet the entire property cost $14,000,000." The "Kernel" should have added the further truth that the average fare collected from the 195,767,519 passengers carried in Glasgow last fiscal year was less than two cents, while in Boston and its suburbs the private monopoly collected from its 228,000,000 passengers an average five cent fare. You cannot expect the men of Seattle to hurrah for the local Boston monopoly, on the basis of such fool illustrations, Colonel! Point the blunderbuss the other way if you must fire such facts. And don't mention Glasgow! Some of the citizens of Seattle are Scotchmen, and the rest of us are from Missouri. After forty-eight hours for rest and research, on Tuesday evening the "Kernel" resumed operations, this time in the graveyard. The editorial entitled "Municipal Ownership Failures," should have had a black border on four sides instead of one. Since Stone, Fisher and Lane paid for the one, the three extra might be charged to the Seattle Electric Company. It was absolute grave-robbery to resurrect the M. J. Francisco fake which was buried under an avalanche of facts half a decade ago. That list of cities alleged to have failed in their municipal lighting projects, as published in the "Times" last Tuesday might well be marked "Exhibit A" in the celebrated case of "St. Peter vs. Ananias." If the "Kernel" persists in serving up such imbecile speckled stuff in behalf of the Seattle Electric Monopoly, he should be elected to honorary membership in the Municipal Ownership League for services rendered. And like the new king of Norway, who changed his name from Charles to Haakon, the "Kernel" is earning a new title Ananias Judas Blatherskite. Acme Publishing Co. 214 COLUMBIA ST.

Nome, Alaska McLaren & Thomson's Acme Business College P.-I. Building, Seattle EVENTS OF THE WEEK Prince Charles has been formally tendered the throne of Norway and accepted the same. An immense crowd greeted the new ruler after the ceremonies. At St. Malmo, France, a channel steamer went to pieces during a storm and 123 persons were instantly drowned. The cause of the mishap was the steamer went against the rocks. Last Monday morning Senator J. Ralph Burton, the Kansas U. S. senator, was put on trial for a second time and a jury was soon sworn in to hear the evidence. He was tried and convicted for the offense once before, but the supreme court reversed the lower court, hence this second trial. When Bruton was elected a Kansas man predicted that he would work himself into prison before he had been in the senate two years, and he came very near predicting the truth. At Connellsville, Pa., a distillery burned last Sunday and liquors to the amount of $1,600,000 were destroyed. Putting the stuff down is all right, but sending it up in the flames is better still. American residents in Panama are circulating the report that, after President Roosevelt retires from the office he will take up his residence there to build the canal. It's good THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN to live in hope even if you do die in despair. The report is that President Roosevelt's message will be sent to congress December 5th and that it will be a hummer from Hummerville. Mrs. Ethel Eitel, a dancing teacher of St. Paul, has established her right as one of the heirs to the Cresson estate in Pennsylvania, and her share amounts to $3,000,000. For the past ten years she has supported herself by giving dancing lessons. C. M. Levy, a Northern Pacific official, denies the rumor that H. J. Horn is to leave the services of the company. The company is needing horns too bodily now to lose even one. W. R. Hearst, the municipal ownership candidate in Greater New York in the recent election, certified that he spent $63,843 in the late campaign. No wonder he got more votes than anyone thought he could possibly get. In the death of E. M. Smithers, which occurred last Tuesday at Renton, this state, a Northwest pioneer passes away. He discovered the first coal mine in this county and lived to see coal mining the leading industry. The working folk throughout Russia are still making heavy demands on Czar E. L. Grondahl, President John Erikson, Vice President A. H. Soelberg, Vice-Pres. & Cashier FRIDAY, NOV. 24. 1905 Nicholas and a civil war is predicted. It is conservatively estimated that there are not less than 52,000,000 Russians now in revolt. One illegal voter in New York, who plead guilty to voting twice on election day has been sentenced to two years in the state prison. The courts have ordered a general recount of all of the votes cast in the city, which is a victory for Hearst, and will doubtless result in McClellan's undoing. Gov. La Follett has issued a call for a special session of the legislature to meet December 4, which is the exast time of the assembling of congress. What's troubling Bob more than anything else is to whether to keep on being governor or be United States senator. Even the Indians are protesting against civilization and Christianity. The former is fraught with too much whisky, while the latter is loaded with excessive taxation. A Helena, Mont., girl went crazy last Tuesday from excessive love. It is plain to be seen that this girl partook of none of the qualities of the "new woman." "You don't understand me," pitifully pleaded Col. Clough on the witness stand as he was being plied with rather pertinent questions on the Odessa deal, and the prosecuting attorney quite agreed with him.

That honesty is the best policy even George E. Adams, recently cashier of the U. S. assay office, is now willing to admit, and while honesty does not always bring the same amount of luxury and comfort as does dishonesty and questionable business methods, yet honesty gives that ease of mind, soul and conscience in a human being that is worth a million times more than all of the gold of the world dishonestly acquired, even though you are never detected in the acts of dishonesty by your fellow man. One who is guilty of doing dishonest things must carry a burden day after day that, figuratively speaking, must be heavier than the weight of Mt. Rainier, for he or she must expect to be detected at some time, and every time a fellow being gets too near such fellow man is suspected of being an officer of the law on his trail. The "400" of the city must have had fit after fit this morning when they saw and read in the morning paper that a leader of their set was only a common thief. Had Adams been content with small sums his peculations might have run on for years without detection. For an instance, had he been willing to put up with $5,000 or $6,000 per year he doubtless would have never been detected, but when his stealings reached the enormous sum of $35,000 in one year then he ought to have known that it was only a question of time when he would be forced to quit wearing diamonds and put on prison stripes, as a more conspicuous personal ornament. Personally, George E. Adams was an elegant young man—pleasing and affable, and made and had a great many warm friends. No wonder such men as Jacob Furth and M. F. Backus became his bondsmen, each qualifying in the sum of $30,000, the amount of the bond he had to furnish for his release as soon as they heard of the trouble. When he substituted black sand to keep up the standard, which made the sacks tally in weight, he showed that he was no slouch in devising a way to get rich quick, that he could pose as a society swell. * * * Peter Irving a Washington pioneer, and who cleared the original townsite where now stands the city of Tacoma, died in that city last Thursday. * * * Charles Osner has been named by the Germans of this city as a suitable person to elect as one of the school directors.

The Jews have every reason to believe that the people of this nation, regardless of religious belief, sympathize with their persecuted brethren in Russia, for money has come freely from the gentiles in every large community.

POLITICAL POT-PIE "Well, I do not think the Pie-maker ever hit the nail more squarely on the head than in the political dope he dished out last week," said a well known politician one day this week. "That it is the intention of Senator Piles to defeat Representative Humphrey is a notorious secret, and that Senator Ankeny is in the deal is also a well known fact. However, friends of both Piles and Humphrey tried hard to get them to patch up their differences before leaving for Washington, and they did talk the matter over and apparently in such a manner as to warrant one in saying that the breach will be bridged over before the next convention is held. Mr. Piles' political promises, like pie crust, are very easily broken, so easily broken that there are politicians in this state mean enough to say, "Sam Piles will not keep any political promise he makes, however insignificant it may be." He is now in Washington, making preparations to see to it that the coming Congress be the most important one in the history of the United States, using his own words, and its importance will all be due to the fact that he happens to be a member of it. If Piles ever attempts to defeat Humphrey in King county, he (Piles) will come out of the scrap the worst whipped politician that ever showed up in the Evergreen State. In case he has any desire or is laying any plans whatever to defeat Representative Humphrey, I feel like quoting for his edification and political enlightenment, "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread." * * * "That Brownell is willing and anxious to accept the nomination for representative to Congress goes without saying, and that he is ready and willing to assist Piles in trying to defeat Humphrey in King county is also a foregone conclusion, but in the excitement of the moment, in my opinion, Brownell will forget to bring his check book with him when he comes to Seattle to prepare for Humphrey's overthrow, and he would make about as much of a showing in such a political battle with his check book out of arm's reach as would a soldier a mile from the enemy without ammunition for his gun. If Mr. Brownell can talk King county into supporting him he will do so, but in my opinion he will never put up any money to get its support; that is to say, he will never put up enough money to make any impression on such men as Mr. Piles would naturally look to to carry the primaries aaginst Humphrey. Frank Brownell is scrupulously honest, but he dearly loves a dollar, and has never been charged with "cutting the sack" in campaigns, and I assure you he has never been found guilty of the charge by a jury. For him to carry this county against a home man it would cost him not less than $25,000, if not twice that amount. Mr. Ankeny dumped in that much money to carry the county for Tom Humes for governor, and yet failed in his attempt. I remember after the last state convention Brownell left Tacoma, believing that the friends of Sam Piles from King county threw him down in the convention after solemnly promising to support him for congress. He may not have felt unkindly toward Sam, but he seems to have felt like saying, "damn you," to King county politi- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN cians, and if he permits himself to be taken in again by their hot air he will show that he is a man totally lacking in political sagacity. *** "Do not be too sure, Mr. Pie-maker, that Senator Ankeny is going to spend as much money in his attempt to be re-elected as he did in getting elected, for while Mr. Ankeny occasionally gets off of his whirl, yet he is keeping a weather eye on the political situation in this state, and if he is not already aware of the fact that while the political henchmen of D. B. Crocker are ostensibly working for Ankeny for senator to succeed himself, yet in fact they are working for COUNCILMAN WM. H. MURPHY. Who May Enter the Race for the Republican Nomination for Mayor. Crocker. For one of these fellows in an unguarded moment has already said: "In politics Senator Ankeny is too decrepit to be returned to the Senate, and while it is the intention of the bunch to make a bluff at supporting him, yet they really intend to support Crocker for the nomination, and that he will be able to get all of Ankeny's strength when it is seen that Ankeny could not land." In politics Crocker is a foxy granpa, and when you think him down and out he suddenly comes to the front a most formidable opponent. At the last state convention no one suspected that Crocker was a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination, yet when everything seemed to be in the air he forged to the front and would have been nominated with a hurrah had not the Wilson contingent on the King county delegation, and who, by the way, happened to be in the majority in the delegation, rose a hundred strong and sent Piles word they would not stand for Crocker, and if he offered him on the convention floor for governor they would revolt, which suddenly brought the steering committee from King to its senses and brought Crocker to defeat. That he is going to give his friend Ankeny an awful tussle for the next election seems at this writing as certain as smoke is to go upward. * * * Horace McClure, who for so many years has been connected with the Post-Intelligence, is to be the private secretary of FRIDAY, NOV. 24. 1905 Senator Piles. In other words, he is to be Piles' politician. While McClure is a very able and efficient man, yet from a political standpoint he will be an elephant around Piles' neck, for the Pie-maker can not think of a man with fewer friends in Seattle than McClure. Those persons, who have come in contact with him, are of the opinion that he feels himself over-important and that he thinks what he does not know is not worth knowing. If McClure ever gave a man in the ordinary walks of life a pleasant answer the Pie-maker did not happen to be around at that time, and therefore Piles has made a worse mess in selecting a private secretary than he did in making political promises to members of the legislature to get their vote for himself for United States senator. It is said that Mr. Piles actually promised every member from King county in the last legislature a position for his support of him. In but one instance has he been able to deliver and already many of them make no bones of standing ready to make it interesting for Piles at any time he happens to get in a political scrap in King county. Some of those members were bitterly opposed to Humphrey, but since they have been turned down by Piles they openly say they are for Humphrey and are just praying for his Senatorial Nibs to risk a battle against Humphrey or any one else, and they will not do a thing to him. *** The mayoralty question in Seattle seems to be sleeping for a season, but it is liable to break out at any time now and at a place least expected. The Pie-maker would not be surprised if Councilman W. H. Murphy does not become a formidable candidate for mayor, and on a municipal platform at that. Mr. Murphy sprung a joke on the S. E. Co. last Monday evening in the city council, and since that time Murphy has been the man in the public eye. The Green Lake News in its last issue had this to say of the issue and Mr. Murphy: "With or without the consent of those who style themselves the leaders of political thought in the city of Seattle, the problem of municipal ownership of street railways will be the dominant issue in the coming campaign. The people are awake to the situation as they never have been before, and those who have their ears to the ground are aware that public sentiment is rapidly crystalizing in favor of the project. "The trend of opinion throughout the country is all in favor of municipal control of public utilities, and, locally, the fight just ended in behalf of the common user in the Second avenue franchise has centered the interest of all citizens in the subject. "With the introduction by Councilman Murphy of a municipal ownership resolution at the council meeting on Monday night of this week it may be said that the fight is fairly on. The people want an opportunity of voting for or against the proposal and that opportunity is certain to be presented to them in March next. "Councilman Murphy, by his hard and strenuous labors for popular measures, has not only enshrined his image in the hearts of those individuals who are his constituents, but his name is on the lips of thousands of people in all portions of this great city, who have never met the gentleman personally. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie and a mustache, looking slightly to the right. The background is a solid black frame with no additional details.] SENATOR S. H. PILES, Who left for the National Capital to personally see to it that "the coming Congress be the most important one in the history of the Country." but who know of the magnificent work he has done, not only for the people of the present generation, but for those who will come after them. The 'common user' clause in the franchise asked for by the Seattle Electric Company on Second avenue was bitterly opposed by that wealthy and aggressive corporation, aided and abetted by at least five of the members of the council. "Two weeks ago it was believed that the 'common user' clause, for both Secon davenue and Westlake boulevard, was doomed to defeat. In fact, the committee to whom the matter was referred decided to recommend an exclusive franchise, but Mr. Murphy, with his fighting blood up, succeeded in getting the matter referred back to the council as a whole, and it came up for final action on last Friday evening. The result was a complete victory for the people and the 'common user adherents on both Second avenue and Westlake boulevard. "All honor to Councilman Murphy, and to those who rendered him such valuable assistance in his herculean task. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon them, and their work should not be forgotten or overlooked by a grateful people, who were about to be robbed of a birthright, the value of which cannot be overestimated. ROOSEVELT AND A THIRD TERM President Roosevelt is wise in endeavoring to persuade the members of his cabinet to remain in his official family during the approaching session of congress. He is going to have a hard fight with congress on the railroad rate question, and the task will be easier for him with men at the head of the various departments thoroughly familiar with the duties of the positions than it would be with untried counselors. The acquiescence of Secretary Shaw in the president's request comes somewhat as a surprise, it having been so thoroughly understood that he was fully determined on retiring in order to promote his presidential candidacy. His decision to remain in the harness for some time longer will doubtless cause considerable guessing among the politicians, and may strengthen the opinion which not a few persons still entertain, that Mr. Roosevelt himself may be a reluctant candidate for another term. While the president was absolutely sincere in his declared intention not to be a candidate for a third term, he has the interests of the nation too thoroughly at heart to decline if the nomination came to him without a struggle, and if he realized that public welfare demanded his acceptance. Recognizing the possibilities of developments in this direction, it is not improbable that Secretary Shaw is willing to defer a definite announcement of his candidacy.—Spokane Review. THE PASSING THRONG You Have Not Been Round. "Why, hello there," familiarly shouted J. Edward Hawkins not long since to a passerby and as a couple of his city acquaintances, who were standing near, turned to see whom he was addressing they were surprised to see him shake the hand of a well known man THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SENATOR Who left for the National Capital ing Congress be the most of the who lives below the dead line when he is in the city. "When did you get to town?" Hawkins inquired. "Yistiddy," came from the smoked American. "Well, you have not been round to see me yet. What is the matter with you?" replied Hawkins. The fellow after making a few apologies promised to be at the office during the day. After the man had gone his city friends demanded of Hawkins what in the devil do you want such a man as that calling at your office for. "Well," replied Hawkins, "that fellow spends most of his time in jail when he is in the city and he owes me so much money for defending him that I always make him march up to the office as soon as he gets in town and dig up on account. Oh, yes, he might object, but the next day he doubtless would be in the city jail and no one would help him out of his trouble, as he owes all the lawyers that have ever done anything for him." The above case reminds the writer that under the wide open policy system, which ran wild here for many years, the tenderloin habitueses all had their well paid attorneys, who defended them under every circumstance. Then it was that the lawyer and the policemen were boon companions and if the man or woman was any good at all he or she operated almost unmolested in the city, but they had to pay their lawyers their regular weekly money and then the lawyer divided that amount up with the policemen, who kept posted. If the person demurred to paying $25 or $50 per the lawyer gave the policeman the tip and into jail the man or woman went. Then the lawyer would go to the headquarters and see the truant and if he promised to "be good" and get the "mon" he was set free without a charge be- --- ing put against him or he would be taken into police court and allowed to plead guilty to "disorderly conduct" and a nominal fine placed against him, which was often paid by the lawyer. Those palmy days under Chief Delaney have long since become a thing of the past, and if he is allowed to watch over the city for a few years more it will be entirely wiped out. It Was Judge Burke. Last summer a banquet was tendered a number of distinguished Japanese by the Chamber of Commerce and of course chief among the Seattleites doing honor to the little brown men was Judge Thomas Burke. The Washington hotel was crowded with guests and spectators and the latter sat amusing themselves and each other by discussing the individuality of each of the Japanese guests. First one and then another of them was either admired or criticised as fancy struck the white spectators. Finally a bustling little square-shouldered Jap came pushing along and the spectators one and all began to say in words so loud that even the banqueters could hear, "Oh, see that fine looking little Jap! Does he not look intelligent? Why, he looks almost like a white man." About that time some one among the spectators recognized in the fine looking Jap Seattle's own and only Judge Burke, a leading business man and attorney, and so announced the fact to the spectators. For a short time thereafter stillness prevailed. as no one seemed to want to be the first to break the silence. Notwithstanding the fact that the judge is a great admirer of the Orientals yet he did not appreciate being taken for one of them by men and women of his own nationality. While on a tour of the state a few weeks ago the editor of this paper had an opportunity to casually observe the general condition of the Negroes living in the various sections and localities, and especially in those localities where are to be found considerable numbers of them, and it would be hard to find Negroes even in those sections of this country where they get steady employment living in better homes and with more comfortable surroundings than the Washington state Negro. It should be remembered that, in the state of Washington, the Negro gets employment only in jirks and jumps. He may be earning lucrative wages today, but tomorrow he may be thrown out of employment and have to look a long time before getting another place of employment to even earn enough meat and bread to keep the wolf from the door. This condition of affairs prevails more or less in all of the larger cities, where the deadly labor unions seek to drive him entirely from the field of employment the same as they do the Japanese and the Chinese. Such a state of affairs is a sad commentary on the avowed principles of unionism, which declare that, it is for the betterment of the laboring men. These deadly devils some day will meet their just deserts by being driven off the face of the earth and the sooner it is done the better for mankind in general. In Spokane there were pointed out a number of homes owned by Negroes, and all of them were elegant structures with inviting surroundings. The owners of those homes had bought and built by living close and economical. While the most of them still owe small amounts on their property, yet they had them so well under control that their payments were not much more to bear than their monthly rentals, did they not reside under their own vine and fig tree. In the city by the Falls it seems that the Negro is doing better on the whole than is he in any other city in the state. That is to say, more of them have regular employment, and do not stand the same show of losing their positions on the slightest pretext as they do in Seattle and Tacoma, and especially Seattle, and for that reason more of them have good substantial homes than in the other places. There are no professional Negroes in Spokane as in Seattle and Tacoma, but there are more mechanics, and, after all, those are the real progressive and independent Negroes of the United States and especially of the cities and towns. Spokane has a Negro population of about 1,000 men, women and children and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that on the whole they hold first place for education, morality and general good citizenship over the colored folk of any other city in the Northwest. The Negro man, however talented he might be, who would go further East than Spokane to seek a wife would be but throwing away that much time and expense money. In most of the smaller towns of the state there are always to be found one or two Negro families and in almost every instance they are doing unusually well from a financial standpoint, and using the words of a prom- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN inent business man of a town in the eastern section of the state: "If all of the colored folk in the United States were like Mr. So and So of this town this country would know no finer or grander people." From time to time since the very first appearance of this paper it has religiously advocated that the salvation of the United States Negro was to scatter all over its broad domain and to seek homes in every state, county and township in the country, for so long as he remains congested together in the South just so long will there be a "race problem" in this country for difficult solution, but if he ramifies himself in every part of the country he becomes a part of his surroundings and is good or bad as are his neighbors. The businesslike qualities and the good citizenship of those Negroes found in small towns always show very conclusively the correctness of our long contention of their separation. It is utterly impossible for there to exist in this country a black race and a white race with the one seeking or endeavoring to tear the other down. The two races must give way to a United States race and must all work and pull together for the upbuilding of the country. The Negroes of the state of Washington, however, have endeavored to hang together at least to an extent. In view of the fact that King is the largest county in the state, there perhaps are more Negroes in it than any where else. It is believed by many that there are in the neighborhood of 500 Negro voters in King, and perhaps 1,500 men, women and children. In the city (Seattle) they do such odd jobs as come their way, which, owing to the opposition of unionism, are not very numerous, and yet despite this opposition they are accumulating property surprisingly rapid. Outside of the city a few are employed in the coal mines, where for a number of years they have worked. The number in the mines, however, grows smaller every year, as they are being gradually worked out by either the union man or the union sympathizer, who, perhaps, is a mine boss, and always sees to it that the Negro miners do not make more than enough one month with another to say he is working. It is rather worthy of note that as to numbers there is not very much difference between King, Pierce and Spokane counties. In Pierce county there are about 1,200 Negroes and about 400 voters. They perhaps fare as to work a little better in Tacoma than they do in Seattle, though there is no great amount of difference. He must fight the union opposition in Tacoma the same as in Seattle, but on the whole the whites are more favorable to the blacks in Tacoma than in Seattle, hence there are more of them given lucrative employment. In all of these places, however, it is most remarkable to what extent the Negro is struggling to get hold of homes and other real estate. He goes hungry and bare in many instances to get another lot, which he hopes will increase in price in the near future sufficient to bring him in "money"—to him the only thing that will ever give the Negro real standing among his white neighbors, but in fact, the root of all evil. The fourth county in Negro population is Kittitas, in which the Roslyn mines are located, where there are something over a hundred miners employed. How well they are doing there is hard to say, for they drift from mine to mine, Grah MILLINERY ONE-FOURTH OFF DRESS ONE-FIFTH OFF FEATHER ONE-THIRD OFF SHAPES, ONE-THIRD OFF A FINE DRESS $10.00 and $12.00 At this price we have an unusual in semi-dress and tailored styles.

Many of the miners have drifted to the country, where they have ranches, and these are all doing well. It is due to that fact that makes Yakima the fifth county for Negro inhabitants in the state. As has been previously pointed out in these columns the Negroes of Yakima are in better fix financially than anywhere else in the state, and perhaps in the Northwest, owing to the fact that a major part of them own farms, which are more or less improved and which they could sell for large sums of money if they cared to do so. There are something like 100 living in North Yakima and they all find steady employment or at least as many as are looking for it. In every town of any size in Western Washington you can always find at least one Negro family and in some instances such family has been there since the birth of the town, and invariably they are all doing well. They are also slowly but surely drifting into the lumber mills and logging camps. There are now a half a dozen or more Negroes employed at the Port Blakeley mills and they have been informed that in case they have any friends, who want work, to write for them and tell them to come on and they can go to work the next day after they arrive. There has been a call for Negro help in the canneries, but as yet not to exceed one or two have tried this line of work. The cannery business does not last to exceed three months in a year and not being able to get other work, when that is over they are timid in seeking it, though it will not be long before he will be found there, too. If the Negro will ramify himself among the different localities of this state great numbers can find employment at fairly good wages, and --- FRIDAY, NOV. 24. 1905.

This distinguished gentleman recently published a short statement in which he alluded, rather unsympathetically, to races which were "unassimilable." A brief time rolled on when some one proposed a Federation of churches. The idea took; and, in a short time, quite a number of churches were federating very enthusiastically. President Elliott's church, the Unitarian, likewise, attempted to federate; but the very eminent representatives of the denomination were politely but firmly informed that they were unassimilable." Perhaps it is well enough for the distinguished gentleman to learn, from actual experience, how it feels to be "unassimilable."—St. Paul Appeal.

Norris spent last Tuesday evening in Tacoma setting up a Masonic lodge. Dr. Cardwell has decided to cast his lot in Seattle and is making preparations to take the medical examination in Spokane next January. The literary program rendered at the A. M. E. church on Fourteenth avenue last night at the reception for the pastor was well rendered and the house was crowded with the members of the church and friends. Now is the time to register if you want to vote in the next school election. It will take you two minutes to step into the City Hall or the Chamber of Commerce and register. These are important matters and you should vote one or the other of them. Mr. James Allen, who formerly lived in this city, but who is now on a ranch in the Horse Heaven country, is in the city for a few days on business. "I am getting my place in pretty good shape now, and I hope to seed some sixty acres next spring, providing there is sufficient moisture in the land. By fall of next year I hope to have about 100 acres of my quarter ready for winter wheat. Yes, those of us who have settled over there think we have a pretty good thing of it; that is, it will be a good thing some day, and are preparing to stay by it to the end." said he. SOUTH AFRICAN CENSUS. At the census taken in the spring of last year it was found that the total non-white population of South Africa numbered 5,198,186 to 1,135,016 whites. Having in mind the rapid natural increase of the natives, at the rate of about 6 per cent. annually, and the influx of the Chinese, it would be well within the mark to put the total number of colored races at the present time at 5,600,000. They comprise 82 per cent., or more than four-fifths of the entire population of the country, and while nearly half of them are allocated to reserves specially set apart, there are still intermingled with the whites in other parts about three colored persons to one of European descent, the ratio to the total population varying from 63 per cent. in the Orange River Colony to 99 per cent. in Rhodesia and Basutoland. The natives—i. e., the Kaffirs and other offshoots of the great Bantu race, with the Hottentots and Bushmen—form 90 per cent. of the total colored population, the other colored and Asiatic races, comprising Indians, Chinese and Malays, being found chiefly in the Cape Colony, Natal and the Transvaal.—From Izwi Labantu. "A Lively Honeymoon" and "Doctor She" are the titles given the two burlesques with Miner's Merry Burlesquers, next week's attraction at the Seattle. With a handsome chorus of twenty voices to assit the comedians many lively moments are promised. Mr. Mack comes to The Grand for an engagement of three nights, opening Tuesday. It will be the first appearance here of the Irish comedian, and he is to stage Theodore Burt Sayre's comedy of "Tom Moore," which was written expressly for him, and in which he has appeared in this country over 1,000 times. The actor-composer has a very effective light tenor voice, and THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN in the rendition of Moore's ballads and other songs offered in the coming production, he never fails to score heavily. The company which accompanied the star on his successful Australian tour will appear with him here in "Tom Moore," which will be presented in a most elaborate manner, complete in every detail, magnificently staged, correctly costumed and splendidly acted. If you go to the Third Avenue theatre this week you will enjoy the play. It is a melodrama on a living theme, the conflict between capital and labor, and incidentally it has entwined throughout a pretty love story. It shows the sordid love of a father for money and the real love of the same man for his child—two conflicting passions. It shows the unscrupulous greed of a villain for both money and revenge. It shows the self-sacrifice of an honorable and loving woman raised in luxury for the poor husband she has chosen. It shows the nobility of the husband, and the generosity and noble heartedness of the laboring mechanic and his associates. True, there is a villain in the play, and he is deep dyed enough to make villainy obnoxious and the problem the play teaches is one we should all know more about, for capital and labor is a living issue. This play does not solve the problem, but it teaches a lesson just the same. A GREAT SUCCESS COMING. The predictions that "A Broken Heart" would be one of the successful medodramas of the day have been fulfilled. It was first presented in the East two years ago and everywhere won great praises for its author, Miss Esther Rujaero, who has so carefully portrayed the mountain life of the West. It will have its first presentation in this city at the Third Avenue theatre, commencing Sunday, Nov. 26, and playing the week, with usual matinees.
