Within the past week we have sent out bills to a number of subscribers to The Seattle Republican and we did so because we need the money. Every time a subscriber beats us out of two dollars it's the same as Cashier Adams abstracting a small quantity of gold from the miners' poke. If every cent that is due us for subscription should be promptly paid we still would not have money to burn, or even buy expensive Oriental rugs or an automobile, but, on the other hand, we would have sufficient money to meet our obligations and buy winter raiment for those near and dear to us. We therefore hope that you will remember that the publishing of a weekly paper is our method of making a living and while, just now, we are willing to confess, it's a pretty darn poor living it's making us, yet it's all we have to depend on. If you received a bill from us, will you favor us with a remittance. No one can truthfully deny that George E. Adams has "seen better days." Frank A. Leach may be all right as a detective but he is doing entirely too much talking out of his mouth. It's a mighty cold day when a scamp can't hatch up a dirty lie on his mother-in-law to hide his own cussedness. Jerome is convicting illegal voters just the same as if he had been defeated for reelection. Tammany must be of the opinion that he is a hard man to satisfy. More claimant lies for loss of gold dust in the Seattle assay office, as a result of the Adams peculation, will be filed by Alaska miners than the Lord will forgive. According to a noted physiognimist the English people are getting more beautiful every day. Lets hope he is correct, for they surely have room for improvement.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1905 "Nothing new under the sun,'" still holds its own as it has come to light that the automobile was not of recent invention but was invented one hundred and twenty-five years ago. Now that the hard times in Seattle are attributable to Adams' peculation according to one version, who will be the next to attribute the recent cold snap to the same source? No one but a brute would use a club on unfortunate drunken men to restore peace among them, yet it seems to be common to bartenders and policemen. But come to think, who ever charged them with being human beings. Judge Frater voices the sentiment of every man and woman in America when he said, "drink is the cause of a great majority of the divorces in this country." Under such circumstances it does seem that the drink habit should be regulated. Marrying in Douglas county seems to strike in streaks, as six couples, all living within a mile of each other, were recently made one. Lets hope that it will never be necessary for matrimonial lightning to have to strike in the same place again. John Jacob Astor is earning an honest dollar for once at least as he is now serving on a jury for which he gets $2 per day and twenty-five cents extra for every case on which he acts as a juryman. He certainly has a show of making a little Christmas money. While Supt. F. A. Wing seems in no wise connected with Cashier Adams' crooked work, nevertheless the Piles politicians are hoping something will come out against him that he will lose his job that one of them may get it. Oh, this waiting for dead men's shoes. "I can't get along without The Seattle Republican and the Patriarch," came from a subscriber one day this week. If this is not a just cause for dropping that subscriber's name from The Repulbican's subscription books then we have been given the wrong tip on journalistic courtesy. A new morning paper, with avowed union sentiments, is an assured addition to our local industries. If it never changes its sentiments it will be a success, says the Union Record of this city. Little seems to be known of such a morning paper, but if it ever starts out under such a banner its dead now. According to reports just brought out "fighting is a part of the course at Annapolis," which if true, is a disgrace to the country. There is one sore spot among the better thinking people in this country UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS against the government and it is the nuisance commonly known as the army and navy. At West Point and Annapolis the older students are encouraged by those in charge in hazing and otherwise mistreating the younger students even to the extent of frequently killing them, and if the hellishness is permitted to continue an uprising like unto some of those in Russia on the part of the common people will be the result and some of those ape bowing institutions will be razed to the ground or a bloody battle will be the result. Editorially speaking the P.-I. says: "What Annapolis wants is another and a more elastic code of honor." We would suggest that she get a few good old-fashioned American citizens in authority there. Men who have not had their ten-cent heads swelled from the fact he wears blue suits and brass buttons and can put on an unnecessary amount of pompous display and finally because he can make brutes of the students. ADAMS AND "OTHERS." Normal man never steals. To him the thought of stealing is most abhorrent. The thief is unnatural, a degenerate. "Once a thief, always a thief," is an old saying, and most always a true one. Confessedly, George E. Adams at least once in his life was a thief. About seven years ago he embezzled the funds of a life insurance company while acting as its cashier here in Seattle. That embezzlement was hushed up. Sympathy was allowed to sway those whom he had wronged and he was not prosecuted. Indeed, he would have us believe that he was given a certificate of character by his superiors. Mr. Frederick A. Wing was the state agent of the insurance company from which Adams stole and ran away. It was Frederick A. Wing who hunted him up, brought him back, fixed up his affairs, housed him and fed him. It was Frederick A. Wing whom Adams had then wronged and embarrassed, yet who forgave and again trusted him. Trusted him! Yes, unwisely trusted him again. For it was Frederick A. Wing who shortly afterwards appointed him cashier of the United States assay office, and, of course—he stole again! No cautious man would have expected anything else. Mr. Wing appointed Adams because he was a good bookkeeper. Penitentiaries are full of good bookkeepers, yet it would not be sagacious to go there and get one to become the safe custodian of funds. Adams belonged in the penitentiary. In the assay office he was a misfit. Mr. Wing also appointed him because he felt sorry for him. Adams was not worth it. Mr. Wing also appointed him because he had confidence in him and believed he had learned a serious lesson and would be faithful. That confidence was unwisely bestowed. Mr. Wing never spoke greater truth, when, in the bitterness of his heart, he declared the other day that "Adams is a snake." For Mr. Frederick A. Wing the community feels sorry. He exercised poor judgment, ee | rather no judgment. His mistake is what is called an honest mistake—but, neverthe- less, it was a serious mistake. Adams, once a thief, should not be put in a position where he could steal again. This does not mean he should never be given any work to do, but it does mean he should not be given that kind of work—where he could embezzle. There is much else that seems strange. Adams’ method of stealing was simple, yet erude. He stole the dust deposited. This dust he weighed and put in the place of the amount abstracted an equal amount of black sand. This gold dust so stolen he sold to banks and banks redeposited it in the assay office. At least he so disposed of most of it. This sort of manipulation and barter of stolen gold dust has been going on for years and amounts to upwards of $200,000. And the bankers had no suspicion! Complaints without number have been made, yet there was no suspicion aroused in the minds of his superiors. The former paltry-pauper thief all at once put on all the airs of wealth, clothed himself in fine raiment, housed him- self in a magnificent home, surrounded him- self with artistic belongings, expensive books, an automobile, bought into business concerns, purchased and dealt in real estate, promoted business enterprises and carried heavy bank accounts, all without suspicion. Such is the plain stating of Adams and his career. heme Publishing Go, BRIEFS Specialty Telephones: Fe eiaents lane ANNOUNCEMENT N anticipation of occupying our ] large, new corner store, in the Low- man building, before the Holidays, we purchased an immense stock of the highest grade Jewelry, Sterling Silver, Cut Glass and European Art Goods.

ALBERT HANSEN 706 FIRST AVENUE Jeweler and Silversmith Established 1883 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The pawnbroker or seenod-hand dealer is never excused for buying the silverware, cut glass and tapestries of a known servant, yet all those who dealt with Adams, the govern- ment clerk, dealt with him and knew of his dealings, would be excused because they over trusted, because they had no suspicion. The government assay office should be above suspicion—beyond suspicion. The em- ployes from the highest to the lowest should be absolutely honest and trustworthy in all matters. The very atmosphere of the place should be as pure as the refined gold that is there stamped and sent to the mint and there found without alloy. Nothing else will be approved; nothing else tolerated. It re- quires skill to assay gold and refine it. No less does it require a subtle knowledge and desernment of character to select men for places of trust. Bankers should also ex- ercise common prudence not to deal with thieves. Whether it should be discovered who they are or not, one thing is certain, Adams either had active or passive accomplices. The pas- sive accomplices may—he often does—es- cape punishment. Some times he is a go-be- tween; sometimes the medium of exchange; sometimes is negligent and asleep, and some- times he encourages by acts and gets taken into side deals whereby he profits and so keeps silent, smothers suspicion, but never- theless he is an accomplice and the subjective at least, of a descerning public brands him B, L.

The Adams case will furnish no ex- ception to this law of life. The disclosures stamp the whole employes of the assay office with incompetence so gross as to almost amount to criminal negligence. The idea of ‘‘black sand’’ replacing ‘‘gold dust’? to the extent it has, in the manner it has, and the ‘‘melter’’ not commenting on it to the ‘‘weigher’’ and so on, until the thief with his scales and bag of sand (the instru- ments known to be kept in the vault), not leading to an investigation and detection passes all understanding. THE MIGHTY WEST. In the Northwestern and the Pacific states railway projects are under way which in- volve the building of at least 7,000 miles of new railway, and the expenditure of well over $200,000,000. At the end of 1904 the Northwsetern and the Pacifie states com- bined had about 36,000 miles of railway with a combined bonded debt of $1,377,000,000 and a stock debt of $1,200,000,000. It ap- pears, therefore, that the mileage under way or projected for immediate construction in these states amounts in the aggregate to about 20 per cent. of the mileage existing in these states at the end of 1904. There is plenty of room for such building. Five of the central Northern states—Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin, contained within their borders at the end Strictly High-Class on ge .

The growth of the country at the present time does not center upon the Eastern states or the states of the middle district, but upon the states that lie west of a line drawn from Chicago to New Orleans. The mighty West is still an undeveloped equity in the balance sheet of our national wealth. That it is magnificent in its possibilities has been proven by the glorious results that have followed the first turning of its soil. As standing monuments to its resources and development there may be cited the Great Northern Railway Co., the Atchison Railway Co. and the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. These railways drove their lines through territory absolutely virgin. They made their country as they went along. All the trails in the north country lead to the Great Northern, and it was upon the local business that followed these trails that Mr. Hill based his belief in the ultimate destiny of the Great Northern. The Northwestern states are growing today in population, wealth, resources and industry as rapidly, as certainly, and as conservatively as they have ever grown. Their growth is founded upon, not any fever for sudden wealth, such as brought California to the front in 1849, nor yet upon any such feverish activity as followed the opening of the Indian Territory in more recent years, but is based upon the broadest and most solid foundation upon which National prosperity can be based. The secret of the great Northwest is the secret of a working race. In general its resources are not such as to give its pioneers promise of sudden wealth. The men who have made great fortunes in that country have made them by self-denial, by courage, by slow development of stubborn resources. The timber lands of Washington and Oregon, the wheat fields of the Dakotas and Montana, the salmon fisheries of the North Coast, the coal mines of British Columbia are not equities that can be quickly turned into cash. They must be coaxed and humored. Men must risk years of their lives and all their fortunes to the battle. This is the genius and the spirit of the great Northwest. It is upon the result of such labors, such self-sacrifice, such courage and such patience that the destinies of these great states are being built. It is to further this destiny, to reach the golden results that follow the opening of the country that capitalists of the world are willing to put over $200,000,000 of new money into railway projects of the mighty West. That success will follow, no one who knows these states will doubt. That success will redound to the credit of the states and bring them to a mightier place in the politics, com- PETKOVITS FUR CO.

B. Knickerbocker will be named as his successor. It will be remembered that Samuel H. Piles, before he was elected, was reported as having promised this job to Mr. Knickerbocker, but when he started out to deliver the goods after he had been elected he found himself up against the real thing, as he learned that the president was not disposed to disturb Mr. Wing. It is not the policy of the present administration to make removals simply to make vacancies for political henchmen of newly elected senators, hence up at the time of the Adams expose Frederick A. Wing was lord of all he surveyed at the assay office. The Piles henchmen have broken lose in a fresh place since that rather deplorable event and are now openly declaring Wing will be removed by the president at the earnest solicitation of both Senators Piles and Ankeny and Knickerbocker named to succeed him. How silly. Even if Wing is removed it will not be for some time to come and if he is immediately removed it will be weeks and months before his successor is appointed, and if Mr. Knickerbocker is named by the senators a battle royal will be waged by his political opponents before he will be named by the president. Madam Rumor has it that Senator Piles has promised to appoint still another man to the superintendency of the assay office and, owing to a great deal of opposition to Mr. Knickerbocker, to turn him down cold. The name for the present is withheld from the public but there seems to be no doubt that he, like the other fellow, has Piles sacred promise and being a man of good business standing he will be strongly backed by the business men of Seattle. "While I am not in Senator Piles' confidence, yet I have every reason to believe that he most emphatically declared immediately before he left for Washington City that under no circumstances would be ever recommend I. B. Knickerbocker for Wing's place," said a prominent politician one day this week. "The matter was gone over thoroughly," continued he, "and a Seattle man was agreed upon and in the course of time his name will be made public. I am not at liberty to call his name at this time." It was the "South district" that made Piles senator and if now he deserts them, the politicians of that district, the senator will soon find himself between the devil and the deep sea from a political standpoint. It is learned from the Friday P.-I. that the man referred to whose name was not given out for publication, is none other than Calvin E. Vilas, a well known banker who was a member of the last legislature. Mr. Vilas stands high in the city, and there will not be the fight made on his appointment that there would have been on I. B. Knickerbocker. He has many political friends among the bankers, and since those are the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN only class of citizens that shine with Senators Ankeny and Piles, the Pie-maker is inclined to think Mr. Vilas is the best selection that Senator Piles could have made from his (Piles') eligible list. It will be remembered that C. E. Vilas was nominated as one of the representatives from the Forty-seventh representative district, not for a minute on his popularity, but because the popular men would not permit one or the other to be. Vilas had his own precinct, which had votes enough to prevent either Lewis or Guie from being nominated, and after a world of persuasion got Lewis to come to JOHN RIPLINGER JOHN RIPLINGER him. The present senatorial roster from this state have made it so plain that "poor men" need not apply to them for federal positions that he who runs may read. They seem to go on the theory that it is quite sufficient for the poor devils to have an opportunity to vote for the rich men's representatives. The railroad commission after a war of words over who would be the secretary of the commission has finally selected Clinton A. Snowden over J. Will Lysons, who has acted its secretary since its organization, but who will act in the same capacity until next April. If any one doubted for a minute that Harry Fairchild domineered the commission this should put all their doubts to flight. While Mr. Lawrence stood by Lysons to the last ditch Fairchild was against him and McMillin was for anything Fairchild wanted. The commissioners then selected O. O. Calderhead as accountant and draughtsman and in doing so it had just as well have selected a railroad director for the position, for Calderhead has been in the employe of the railroads ever since he has been in this country, and he has a brother even now who is "It" on the Washington Central. The railroads wanted protection and the commission saw to it that they got just what they demanded. While a commission may have been created and appointed contrary to the wishes of the railroads yet those selected to direct its affairs or approved of before their names are given out to the public. FRIDAY. DEC. 1. 1905 So utterly disgusted are the voters as to the sincerity of the commission that one hold-over senator remarked to the Pie-Maker not long since that he would endeavor to see to it that no appropriation be made to pay the expenses of the commission at the next setting of the legislature and thereby let it die of its own weight. It is not doing any good, he continued, and I do not think it ever will do any good except give a lot of political leaches good fat positions at big salaries. I realize that it would be a big undertaking to have the law repealed so soon and I think the best thing for the public in general is to leave it without funds and you can bet Harry Fairchild would not stick to it very long after it was left in that condition. The people of Eastern Washington want a railroad commission, but they want it to be in the hands of its friends, and they do not consider that it is in such hands as it now stands and if the law is not repealed but left without funds it may be a splendid way to free it from the onus that now hangs over it and by the time a new governor is elected the atmosphere will be sufficiently cleared to get a commission that will look after the interests of the people and not after the interests of the big railroad corporations in the state. Pay For It—You say you always like to read the Political Pot Pie? Well, then, in view of the fact that it costs much hard study to get it up each week you should feel like paying for your paper. If, therefore, The Seattle Republican has been coming to you for the past year or more the management is in need of that two dollars and if that sum be put in with that of a hundred other subscribers you can readily see that it would mean something over two hundred dollars for this office, which amount would greatly relieve the situation hereabouts, and it is truly hoped you will be heard from with a check or money order or the real cash for your past year's subscription. Municipal politics is still sleeping both in the Republican and Democratic camps. Mayor Ballinger may reconsider his former avowal of not being a candidate to succeed himself and may be willing to accept the nomination if unanimously tendered him, but it has gone on so long that for him to get the nomination now he will have to make a fight for it and that he will not do. In view of the fact that the leading business men of the city are not hankering to get into politics of any kind, and especially municipal politics, it begins to look as though the Republican nomination would be handed to John Riplinger without opposition, his candidacy for the nomination of comptroller to the contrary notwithstanding. Riplinger is very popular, and if he had said months ago that he wanted the nomination for mayor there would never have been any other candidate seeking it. He has not as yet said he wanted the nomination, but the different factions in the party feel that they can harmonize on him and it looks as if they intended doing so whether it is or is not his wish. It was generally believed last week that Councilman Murphy was seeking the nomi- FRIDAY, DEC. 1, 1905. nation for mayor by forcing the municipal ownership issue, but he himself has declared he is neither seeking the nomination nor would he accept it if offered him, which sets that political prognostication at complete rest. The municipal ownership idea will not down, however, and if the Republicans ig- nore the issue and those of the Republicans who believe in it continue to fight for it join issue with the Democrats and a municipal ownership ticket be upt in the field and some strong advocate of that theory is nominated he will give the Republican nominee the fight of his life for election. Just who such man will or may be is in the mysterious fu- ture, but public sentiment is drifting along this channel and it is day by day baining more and more headway. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. John E. Humphries, in his address before the West Woodland Improvement Club, De- cember 1, 1903, in part said: The Post-Intelligencer, in its debate with George Cotterill, has overlooked the statute wherein it is provided thus: “Any such bonds or warrants issued against any special fund as herein provided shall be a valid claim of the holder thereof only as against the said special fund and the fixed proportion of special revenues obli- gated to be set aside therein, and shall not constitute an indebtedness of such city or town within the meaning of the constitu- tional provisions and limitations.’’ The same provision is copied in the act of the legislature of March 16, 1901, Laws of Washington, 1901, page 177, Sec. 2, sub- division b. It is not a quéstion of argument, but is a question of law. The present bonds out- standing for the payment of the Cedar River water system and the Cedar River electric light system are not an indebtedness of the city of Seattle. The bonds are payable out of a special fund, and not otherwise. They are not liens upon any of the property of the city of Seattle except upon the income from the systems. Mr. Cotterill prepared the act of the legislature of 1897, and is perfectly familiar with its terms. The supreme court, in the case of Winston vs. City of Spokane, 12 W. 524, has decided that the act is valid. On page 526 the court says: “This being so, we are of the opinion that neither the ordinance, the contract, nor the obligations to be issued by the city in pur- suance thereof, do or will constitute a debt of the city within the constitutiontl defini- tion.’’ If the enemies of municipal ownership have no better argument than has been ad- vanced, they cannot defend themselves. The people are not fools, and between now and the election will learn that the arguments used are falacious, and will have no faith whatever in the misconstruction of the con- stitution and statutes of the state. All to Gain and Nothing to Lose. By municipal ownership, the city has it all to gain and nothing to lose. It is only the income of the systems that is mortgaged. The balance of the property of the city is not mortgaged. Under private ownership, the franchises and rolling stock is all that is mortgaged. If private ownership can raise the money by mortgaging the franchises and THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN rolling stock for street car lines, then, where there is no limitation upon the city, it cer- tainly ean raise the money by issuing bonds, principal and interest payable out of the in- come of the systems, the same as has been done with the Cedar River water system and electric light plant. Let the people under- stand the facts; let them be fully informed; let them vote upon the proposition, and if, after full discussion, honest statements and a yote upon the propositions, they are de- feated, then let the people abide the result for the time being. But the Republican party of this city cannot afford to misrepre- sent the law and the facts to the people, and start into a campaign upon a false theory and a false basis. They may ridicule George Cotterill. They may attack him, but, in or- der to defeat him in his construction of the law, it is necessary to break down the statutes of the state and the decisions of the supreme court; the newspaper, or the citi- zen, who undertakes a job of that kind, will find, in a short time, that it will be a fail- ure. If the statute is wrong then let us have it repealed; let us make a square fight for the repeal of the statute. But it has be- come so thoroughly imbedded in the laws of this state that it is impossible to uproot it. On February, 10, 1893, the first statute was passed with an emergency; March 17, 1897, the second statute was passed; March 14, 1899, the third statute was passed, and March 11, 1905, the fourth statute was unanimously passed by a Republican legisla- ture and approved by a Republican gov- ernor. The law has been so thoroughly and so completely established that the time has passed for any attack upon the law or upon the theory of municipalities owning their public utilities. There-can nothing be done for the city of Seattle which will be of more benefit than the constructing and operating of the street car lines suggested by George Cotterill. Their construction will be the means of increasing the value of property; inereasing the population, and cheapening street car fares, and making a general im- provement of all kinds to the city. The working man’s train night and morning with a one cent fare, and a regular two cent fare for all persons, will be an immense saving to the people generally. The working man’s family will save at least fifty dollars per year, which will pay the insurance, provide food and clothing for the family and assist in paying the rents. In order to have a great city out of Seattle, we must have cheap transportation. Interest. The money can be borrowed to build and equip two million dollars worth of street car lines at not to exceed 4 per cent interest, which would only amount to $80,000 per an- num. The income of the Seattle Electric Company is now $2,393,000 per year. The operating expenses is about 25 per cent of the gross income. Consequently they have a profit of almost $1,500,000. By municipal ownership, that profit will remain in the hands of the people and not be sent to Bos- ton. The only money sent out, under muni- to the Post-Intelligencer by citing the case of the State of Washington ex rel City of Port Townsend vs. C. W. Claussen, which was decided September 11, 1905, wherein the supreme court construed the laws of 1901, subdivision B, page 179, and expressly and directly decided thus: “City bonds payable out of special fund— created by receipts of water works system —general credit of city not pledged.”’ Same ease also cited in 82 Pac. Rep. 187. No political party can afford to misrepre- sent the law and the facts to the people. It it better for the party to stick to the people and unload the octopus than to attempt to carry the ocopus by misleading the people and causing the defeat of the party. Muni- cipal ownership has been tried in Seattle. The water works system and the electric light system are examples of the success of municipal ownership of public utilities. The people of Seattle are capable of managing the water works system and the electric light system, the street car system, the telephone system and the gas system. As a matter of self protection it is necessary that they now act, and as soon as possible own all of them. NEWS OF THE WEEK.

So much of such doings have been reported that the authorities have determined to give this case a thorough investigation, as it seems to be an aggrivated one. In a dynamite explosion at Olympia, this state, three persons were instantly killed. It seems that the average workmen will never learn that thawing dynamite out by a fire is a dangerous proceeding. During the present football season eigh- teen persons have already been killed out- right at the game, and one a woman, while 137 have been more or less injured. This seems to be a form of race suicide that even President Roosevelt had not taken into con- sideration. A revolt on the part of Russian guards re- sulted in a stockade being set on fire and eighty of the political prisoners, whom the ezar had ordered liberated, were burned to death. Soldiers fired on the drunken rioters and some forty of them were instantly shot down. W. S. Leib, assistant U. S. treasurer at Philadelphia, has been summarily dismissed by the president for repeatedly violating the civil service law while in office. Leib had been frequently warned against such prac- tices, but like so many with a bit of author- ity, he thought he was greater than the law with the result that he is now a private citizen. A Sunday express out from Boston headed for Montreal crashed into an accommoda- tion in the suburbs of Boston and eighteen persons were instantly killed, while more than a hundred were wounded. Marshal Field, Jr., son of the well known Chicago merchant prince, died at his home in Chicago last Monday after a brief illness. It will be remembered that Marshal Field, Sr., recently married a well known society lady. On the great lakes nineteen vessels were wrecked during a storm of unusual violence this week. TALES OF THE TOWN. "The Bon Marche has no rabbit foot with which to catch the coming holiday trade, but it's going to get it just the same," said Frank McDermott of that establishment one day this week. "The reason why the Bon Marche is going to get the trade," he continued, "is because a large double door was recently cut for another front entrance to the big store near Pike street, and the first customer to pass through after it had been completed was a 250-pound colored lady—colored both in name and nature. I told her she was the first to come through that entrance and I believed she would bring the store good luck, and I took pleasure in escorting her over to the glove counter and presented her with as fine a pair of kid gloves as the establishment boasted of. She smiled all over her face and after recovering from the shock of her unexpected good fortune said, 'You sho' will have good luck from now on.'" Gets in the Pots—Notwithstanding the fact that State Senator W. G. Potts made lots of money while in the Diller hotel and made still more when he sold it out, he has grown restless out of business and has recently leased the Arlington hotel property, and as soon as he can put it through a course of repairs and renovation, which will take two or three months, he will throw open its doors to the public, and when he will have done so there will be three state senators in [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a flower on his lapel]. the hotel business, Van De Vanter, Link Davis and Potts. George H. Stephenson, who bought the Diller from Potts, has had a splendid run from the very day he began business, and is now building an annex to the Diller in order to accommodate his patrons, and all because his predecessor, Senator Potts, was such a popular hotel man. That that trade will be divided when Potts opens up is already a foregone conclusion. The City of Seattle is preparing to spend a half million dollars next year in paving the streets of another district and the authorities should profit by past experience. The contractors will clear up not less than $100,000 on the Renton Hill paving contract, which sum the city might have saved to the property owners of that district, which would have lessened the cost just one-fourth. The argument that you kill off a private enterprise if the city does the work is THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN rot pure and simple. If the city does the work it will certainly kill off a private graft, for which graft the taxpayers are called upon to put up the cash. The city of Seattle will do enough sidewalk and street paving next year to warrant her in putting in a plant of her own and if she should do so something like $200,000 would be saved to the taxpayer. The men who have done the paving in Seattle are nothing more than leaches on the public. They have no investment here but what they could load on a train and be gone between two suns. They furnish employment to no one, the city does that and those contractors stand about until it is time for them to pull down their profit. Every cent of profit that is paid to them is the same as throwing that much of the taxpayer's money into the fire. ORDERS FROM THE "EDITOR-IN- CHIEF." The Times has arranged the entire street railway problem satisfactory—to its employer. Believing in arbitration, it appointed itself arbitrator, awarded Second avenue to the Seattle Electric Company and instructed the city council to "deliver the goods." It explained how the little "joint user" joker could easily be juggled to suit the S. E. Co. The Times would be satisfied, the Seattle Electric Company would be satisfied and the people—well, the people be d—d. They don't pay any taxes—if they do they pay them in their own name—what right have such to any consideration as against the claims of the Times Investment Company, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of Washington for the purpose of accumulating Blethen wealth without paying Blethen debts? Why should Second avenue be permitted to remain the property of all the people when distinguished local financiers "need it in their business?" Hence and whereas, thus saith the editor extraordinary and damphool plenipotentiary from the Boston syndicate to the Seattle city council: "Get busy! The municipal ownership storm is coming and we want those Second avenue and Westlake boulevard franchises gathered in before the storm breaks." But, up to date, the city councilmen are more busy hunting up March election umbrellas than they are juggling joint user clauses and delivering Seattle Electric goods. For the tens of thousands of citizens who stormed the city council by presence and petition two weeks ago are not only watching, but working. THEY GAVE THANKS Yesterday the Nation at the request of the chief executive gave thanks from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from Maine to the Mason and Dixon line (the general heathendon of the South precluded it from giving thanks along with the civilized portions of the country), and a joyful day was it. In Seattle a general thanksgiving was observed and for the most part the day was greatly enjoyed by all class of citizens. Some of the readers of The Seattle Republican had specific reasons for giving thanks and among some of them were: George E. Adams, the recent assay peculator, was thankful that he was free from temptations. J. Edward Hawkins was thankful that he has been able to ride on the water wagon all the year and he really prefers it to the dead wagon. Jule Reidelsheimer was quite thankful that he was able to get a number of stale pictures to put in his art gallery. Andrew R. Black was thankful that he has friends to burn, but more thankful that his satanic friend is not burning him. Will H. Morris, that he still holds first place as criminal lawyer and can take only such cases as can produce the coin. Judge George E. Morris, that "I never forget or overlook my friends, only I am frequently so busy I forget just who of the herd are my friends." E. B. Palmer, that times with me are not as dark as they used to be, and they are still growing brighter. John L. Wilson, that I am far removed from political cares and do not give who is mayor. Jesse A. Williams, that I can spend seven days of sixteen hours in each week in my office. Wilson R. Gay, that the Lord loveth a cheerful giver, but He does not want the gifts to be tainted. Bill Potts, that Keyhole Charlie is down and out, his squealings to the contrary notwithstanding. Frank P. Mullen, that he has no mayoralty nightmares, and is proceeding on in the even tenor of his way. Mayor Ballinger, that Chief Delaney is on duty again, which means graft will continue to be squelched. Tourist Hotel, that tourists make it their headquarters and country folk do not overlook it. John T. Gayton, that Judge Hanford will hold court in San Francisco during the month of December and he will have a month's vacation and yet get his regular monthly check. THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS.

Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Gayton celebrat- ed the seyenth anniversary of their wedding at the home of Mrs. Cayton Thanksgiving Day. A good old-fash- ion American dinner was served by the hostess with the national bird fresh and fine just from the farm hold- ing the center of the board. The ladies of .the Hastern Star served dinner to a host of hungry folk Thanksgiving and during the even- ing a dance was indulged in, which was attended by a number of the “up- per crust” of Seattle. J. E. B. Reed, who ran a paper in Fremont, Georgetown, South Tacoma, Columbia City and Hillman City, and failed in them all; is now connected with the Searchlight, which is owned and operated by Rev. S. S, Freeman, the pastor of the Tacoma A. M. E. church. The members of the A. M: BE church on Fourteenth Avenue gave a supper and concert at the church Thanksgiving. The Sunnyside subscriber who sent this office a fine turkey for Thanksgiv- ing knows when and how to strike the nail on the head. Had it not been for his thoughtfulness it is more than likely that ours would have been turkeyless. “FRANK B, CARR'S THOROUGH- BREDS.” Winsome, wilful, vivacious “Thor- oughbreds” bubbling over with life and spirits. The very name is sug- gestive of dash and abandon, and the glint of silken hosiery mid a mass of fluffy white it would be difficult to imagine a more handsome coterie of beautiful maidens. Then those gath- ered by Manager F. B. Carr, for his at- traction, Willowy, graceful, natural, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN they render the tuneful, catchy mu- sical numbers certain to delight the fancy of all observers. Charms so multitidinous were never before seen with any burlesque organization. Witching creations of the scene paint- er’s art furnish a charming back- ground for the evolutions on the stage and a congress of eight comedians en- lighten proceedings all through. The “Thoroughbreds” in all their grace and loveliness will appear at the Grand for one week beginning Sunday after- noon. AT THE THIRD AVENUE. The Third Avenue: theatre has a good company playing there this week. They give the “Great Diamond Necklace Robbery,” a thrilling and in- teresting play, in a manner to leave nothing to be desired. The actors all understand their profession and make the most of the various parts in the play assigned them. One thing you will notice in the plays at the, Third Avenue Theatre, they are always clean and. wholesome, and, as. a family the- atre, the oldest one in Seattle, enjoys a reputation extending from New York to the Coast second to no other, and it is to be hoped that when Third avenue is regraded, another Third Avenue threatre will spring up in place of the present one that will do credit to the name of the theatre that has assisted materially, among pro- fessional people, in making Seattle famous. Zinn’s Travesty Company comes to the Third Avenue Theatre Sunday afternoon. Lots of people appear to know little or nothing regarding this form of amusement. It is a mixture of dramatic, musical, operatic and vaudeville cemented together as clev- erly as a panorama is painted. It re- quires a clever company, as actors to develop the various travesties on pop- ular form of amusement. Tony West and Horace Mann of this company are clever in their lines; and Frances Gray and Cad Franks are splendid foils to them. There is a dancing chorus of beautiful girls with the show, and the watchword of “Fun on the Trail” is hilarity.
