That Christmas is coming is plain to be seen, and already in many instances actually felt. The Independent Vote can find an independent Repulbican paper by calling at this office Congress is once more a stern reality, though fraught with Piles of human oddities. Trouble like most everything else always comes in twins and triplets, of which Senator Burton can verily testify to. Booze may be taken in disguise, but once fastened up in one's stomach it generally asserts itself in no uncertain language. All over the country the "Independent Votes" seems to be monarch of all it surveys. So mote it be. Uncle Sam's obstacles in digging the Panama canal must almost bring smiles to France's fashionable face. Maryland's Bonepart caused Gorham to lose the Democratic leadership. Bones digest poorly in the human stomach. Senator Platt and Gov. Odell are predicting each others political death and we believe both have predicted well and truly. The merchant who will permit himself to be taken in by the Times circulation liar or its Church advertising fakir is green enough to grow. Now that Columbia University has discarded football Myrtle Reed, the novelist, suggests a course of millinery and dressmaking in lieu thereof. M. Rostand has made a record. He has declined an offer of $30,000 for a single magazine publication of his new play, "Chantecler." That the planet Mars has canals scientists feel absolutely certain. If the theory be --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1905 correct blood must be the liquid which flows therein, for is not Mars the seat of war? A Japanese in the role of Hamlet may look good to Japanese, but we suspect should Hamlet see it, he would think to himself, "Well, how Hamlet has changed." No true Seattleite doubts for a moment but that congress has a dose of Piles just now that will make it rue the day it ever Foster(ed) "Watch Tacoma Grow." Russian riots continue to disturb the quiet of the world and, according to reports, many persons on both sides are daily killed, especially about Odessa. If the Seattle police is excelled by the police of any other city in the world on "clews" as to perpetrators of crime right under their nose, we do not believe it. It occurs to us that, the government officials are finding more damaging evidence about the Adams home than they can advantageously use against him in the trial. Ex-Editor Lorton, of the Walla Walla Union, brands Crocker, Baker and George Stevenson as "bucaneers." If that means crooked politicians the superlative degree should have been used. When Great Britain's commission to investigate Uncle Sam's idiots reaches the country it would do well to come to Seattle and examine her police force and, perhaps, it would get a "strong clew." The rate bill, it is claimed, will be the most important measure that will come before the present Congress. When that measure reaches the crucial point watch Washington railroad senators take to tall timber. The fellow who, notwithstanding the fact he was elected, ordered The Seattle Republican to not be sent to his address any longer because it did not support him, openly admitted his guilt as charged. Seattle's big taxpayers want to give the poor laboring men play grounds for their children, but they seem suspicious of Greeks bearing presents. Here's an instance, however, neighbor, wherein the presents are genuine. Washington state's own and only Frank Cushman on opening day of Congress introduced a bushel of bills, all of which are of more or less importance to various points and places in this state. Cush is a stem-winder "mark I tell you." How the Times rejoices over the election of Hughes and Shorrock. Let's see, the Times has never won a victory single handed since it has been in the possession of the PRICE FIVE CENTS Blethens, and if Hughes and Shorrock had left their election to its advocacy the Socialists would have beaten them two to one. Editor Tuttle, of the Empire, is in the throes of worrydom for fear the editor of the Standard may be a candidate for reelection to the legislature next year. We have not announced our candidacy and we do not expect to. The next Republican convention will decide who the nominee shall be. He will be a county divisionist and will not be a resident of the first county commissioner district.—Hartline Standard. "We" have made a discovery, and it is not the North Pole or the fountain or immortal youth, but "that the editor and associate editor of The Seattle Republican are of the genue Africus"—in other words Negroth and therefore in future nothing it says should be given any consideration by us white uns; soliloquizes the Colfax Gazette. Thompson's famous colt that swam the river to get a drink, may have been a bigger fool, but we verily doubt it. When the civil war closed the union army had an enrollment of a little more than a million. In June of this year the report of the commissioner of pensions showed more than six hundred and eighty thousand survivors on the pension rolls. There are probably more veterans who do not appear on the pension rolls, so that the number of survivors is remarkably large. Certainly the sentimental cartoon which the newspapers print on each memorial day of the "thin blue line" and decimated ranks does not represent the facts.—Skamania Pioneer. The Interchurch Conference on Federation, which recently met in New York, passed the following resolution: "That we see in the numerous revelations of 'graft' in many high places of business and politics the system of a widespread commercialism which Jesus called "covetousness' and condemned more severely than any other vice, and which has in our time sanctioned many customs that are not only wicked but criminal. "And we urge that, while public indignation is aflame, all unrighteous political and commercial customs of rich and poor shall be brought to the bar of conscience by faithful preachers, teachers, and publicists, and especially that the pernicious doctrine that 'corporations have no souls' shall be set aside for Milton's great teaching that nations, and therefore parties and associations, are 'moral persons,' to the end that the highest standards of honor and honesty that men set for themselves in individual action may be maintained also when they act together, whether in religion or business or politics." Some of the preachers who participated in that conference will witness a decided falling off in their contributions from now on, for the "religious grafter" is sensitive about his plan of "making money." NEGRO SELF-UPLIFTING. Contributions the Race Makes Through Churches to Its Own Education. Dr. Booker T. Washington in The Independent. From time to time in the past a great deal of matter has been furnished to the public, with the praiseworthy purpose of portraying the individual struggles and sacrifices of colored youths to secure an education. These efforts of struggling young men and women, with no inspiration in family tradition and fortune, and with little or no money with which to secure the knowledge they crave, is one of the most encouraging as well as pathetic features I have come across in my educational work during the past twenty years. As a hopeful indication of race character, and I may safely so describe it, it must be of peculiar interest to the average American interested in the Negro people. On the other hand, much matter has also been furnished the public concerning the aid given the Negro race by philanthropic white people; attention is also frequently directed to the volume of money expended for the education of the Negro by state and municipal governments, the proceeds of land grant funds and of common taxtion. I do not think that the public has been sufficiently informed of what the Negro himself has been doing during the past forty years, and is doing now, toward his own education through the religious organizations controlled by him. Before dwelling upon this principal point, however, I wish to direct attention here to several minor ways of more or less importance in which the Negro is constantly displaying the quality of self-help—the most important and significant force in the uplift of any person or race, the absence of which must always be regarded as a fatal defect of character. First, then, it is well to say that there are very few orphan asylums anywhere for Negro children. Possibly in nine or ten cases Negro families care for the orphans of their race in the neighborhoods where they reside. A child is not left many hours without parents before it strays into some family, or, more often, is sought out by some friend, and, without legal formality, soon becomes a real part of the family. Because of this custom one finds very little suffering among Negro children. In the Southern states the masses know little about hospitals. The sick and unfortunate are cared for by secret and fraternal societies, by the churches or by individuals. A second form of self-help, which is increasing year by year, is the voluntary tataxion of Negro communities for the purpose of extending the public school term, often from one to three months; that is, these months are added to the regular public school term. I could name other forms of self-help that are equally significant and praiseworthy. But to return to the main point. Of the more than eight millions of colored people in the United States, it is estimated that two-thirds of the adults are members of some church. The great body of them are either members of the Baptist church, or of some branch of the Methodist church. The Methodists are divided into four groups or branches, namely: the African Methodist Episcopal, the A. M. E. Zion, the Colored --- Methodist, and those belonging to the main body of the Northern Methodist church. Besides, in all the Southern states, and in some states outside of the South, there are Presbyterian, Congregational and Episcopal churches, and a few other denominations including Catholics—not under the Methodist or Baptist groups, all contributing something toward the expenses of the schools and colleges. The plan for securing money from the colored people through their churches varies according to the location and conditions surrounding the people, as well as the customs and laws of the church. For example, in the case of the Baptists, there is at least one institution, usually called college or university, in each Southern state, supported in part or in whole by the pennies and dollars of the masses. In Alabama, for illustration, there is what is known as the Alabama Baptist Colored University, at Selma. Last year the colored people in Alabama contributed to the work of this institution $9,441.93, exclusive of student board and tuition. The property is owned by colored people; their money created it, with the exception of a few gifts from outside sources. There is at least one such school in each of the Southern states. The detailed circumstances surrounding them may vary, but the general plan is the same. In the case of the African Methodist Episcopal church, there are institutions that owe their existence almost wholly to the small gifts of the churches and individuals of the denominations. Last year $51,601.86 was raised by the denomination for the purposes of education. The oldest and largest of these institutions is the Wilbeforce University, at Wilbeforce, O. Although this institution is now somewhat generously assisted by the state of Ohio, it was for years supported almost wholly by the colored people. Let me use another illustration as showing what the African Methodist Episcopal church is doing in the South. There is a school at Atlanta, Ga., called Morris-Brown College, that was organized only a few years ago. It now owns a very valuable property and has a large student body. The college was built and is supported, to a large extent, by money raised by the church membership. For 1904 the institution received from all sources for running expenses, $15,985.58, of which the churches in that connection in the state of Georgia contributed $6,200, the third Sunday in September being set apart for the taking of offerings for the educational work; and $850.50 was raised through the industrial department. The remainder was contributed through other channels of the church, and mostly all of it by Negro people. The African Methodist Episcopal Zion church has ten institutions of learning, of which Livingston College, at Salisbury, N. C., is the most important. The corresponding secretary of education of the Zion church reports that the money collected last year amounted to $20,706.54, which went to all the schools of the church to supplement their other revenues for running purposes. Through the Freedmen's Aid and Southern Education society of the Methodist Episcopal church the colored membership contributed for education for the current year, $19,251.73. For the ten years, 1896-1905, inclusive, $79,228.13 was contributed. FRIDAY, DEC. 8, 1905 Acme Publishing Co. 214 COLUMBIA ST. BRIEFS our Specia ty Telephones: {Sunset, Red 197 Independent, 1306 E.

The Negro Baptists support quite a number of educational institutions, and to carry on the work the churches raised during the past year $85,888.18. To sum up, we find that the A. M. E. church contributed $51,601.86 for educational purposes last year; the A. M. E. Zion church, $20,706.54; the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, $45,000; the Methodist Episcopal, $15,926.40; the Baptists, $85,888.18, making the total, $218,622.98, for only two branches of the Christian church. If the contributions of the Negro Congregationalists, Presbyterians and Episcopalians, etc., be approximated, we should have probably an annual contribution for educational purposes by the Negro Christians of $250,000. Within the past ten years, it is safe to say, according to these figures, that the Negro in America has contributed at least $20,000,000 through his churches toward his own education. This, I think, all fair-minded people will agree, is a pretty good record for a race of people which was in slavery forty years ago. And these figures, of course, do not include the amounts which colored people are contributing constantly to local and independent institutions. The Tuskegee Institute, for example, receives contributions from colored people annually, and the same is true of other institutions which have no direct church connection. AFRO-AMERICANISM. Over 55 per cent. of the farms of South Carolina are controlled by our people. Our 13 banks did a business of nearly $11,-000,000 last year. They are in the south. Mrs. Henry S. Hoyt, of Newport, R. I. left by will $42,000 to her Afro-American maid, Lucy Giles. The government of German East Africa has banished a colored man for marrying a German woman. Henrik Witboi, leader of the Hottentots, in German Southwest Africa, is dead as the result of a wound. There are nearly 18,000 Afro-American land owners in North Carolina, and 19,000 in South Carolina. Charles Pippin died at Yellow Springs, O., last Saturday, aged 100 years. He was a native of London county, Va. The Rosebud department of the United Order of True Reformers, which is composed of children between 2 and 14 years of age, raised $38,000 last year. The board of managers of the Colored Aged Home and Orphanage of the state of New Jersey have purchased a new home for their charges in Newark at a cost of $5,500. Williams and Walker, the comedians, are to have a theater of their own in New York. With the exception of Lillian Russell, who is receiving $3,00 a week, they have received the highest salary ever paid in vaudeville. They got $2,000 a week. The Afro-American Realty Co. of New York, controls 20 New York apartment houses valued at over $690,000. Six of these houses the company owns outright; the other 14 it holds under long lease. The annual rental from these houses is $66,000. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN DENNY PARK Beautified by For the first time in 25 years our people are without representation in the town council of Huntsville, Ala. Since the elimination of Afro-American members, the council has voted to reduce the salaries of our principals of the public schools from $75 to $40 per month. The Colored Co-operative league, of Tarrytown, N. Y., has purchased enough ground in a convenient location to erect five apartment houses for Afro-American families. The first house has been started. It has all modern improvements and will accommodate three families. President Roosevelt has issued an executive order placing the office of recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, of which Hon. J. C. Dancy is chief, under civil service, and hereafter all appointments to positions in this office will be made by examination and certification through the civil service commission. The order included the 40 persons now making up the force in that office, 30 of whom are Afro-Americans. Some of Artist Henry O. Tanner's latest paintings, as seen in his studio at Paris, France, are: Christ Starting Out on His Mission; Raising of the Widow's Son; Washing the Disciples' Feet; (bought by John Wanamaker); Judas Covenanting with the High Priest; The Tomb of Samuel; Christ and the Disciples at Emanous; The Jews' Wailing Place. Mrs. Tanner, his wife, a white American lady of culture, social standing and beauty, is also an artist of great talent. Mr. Tanner is a son of Bishop Tanner of the A. M. E. church. BISHOP TURNER AND THE SUPREME COURT. MACON, Ga., Nov. 25.—Bishop Henry M. Turner of the A. M. E. church made an impassioned attack upon the government and the United States Supreme Court in his annual address yesterday to the Macon conference. "I am not pleased with this nation," declared Bishop Turner. "No man hates this Clerkship nation more than I do. When I go to say my prayers I have a struggle to get to the place where I am willing for God to allow the United States Supreme Court to have a part of my prayer. That damnable institution has robbed the Negro of every vestige of human or manhood's rights. The men that compose that body may get to heaven the best way they can, but it is little help God will grant for any request that I make. The Negro will never be anything in this country but a scullion until he shows his manhood. Go to Africa and build up a great nation that will command the respect of the civilized world." If Bishop Turner is correctly quoted in the above he is a dangerous anarchist, and the United States officials should arrest him as they do Herr Most and other dangerous anarchistic outlaws. Why stay in this country and use such language about it? Either go voluntarily or be sent away by force.

W PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT Sends Another of His Characteristic Messages to Congress. FRIDAY, DEC. 8, 1905. "I could not possibly wish Senator Ankeny any greater misfortune in politics than to have as his advisers and counselors such men as Crocker, Stevenson and Baker, with their local satillites, Dr. Y. C. Blalock and O. T. Cornwall. Very respectfully, State Senator Walter J. Reed was elected mayor of North Yakima last Tuesday on a "retrenchment" ticket. There probably is not a more popular man in all Central Washington than Mr. Reed, and his friends all over the state will rejoice to hear of his recent popularity. In the last legislature Senator Reed won much fame as a legislator and as mayor of the most prosperous burg in Central Washington it is here predicted that he will prove a most brilliant success. For four years he was register of the U. S. land office in North Yakima, where he achieved much fame for fairness and having been elected mayor of North Yakima on a retrenchment ticket the voters need have no fear but that he will carry out their expressed wishes to the letter. While there is not the slightest doubt but that Hiram C. Gill will be unanimously nominated to succeed himself and subsequently be elected, yet nothing would so completely settle the whole proceeding in his favor than for the Democrats to nominate Rev. M. A. Mathews as his opponent. The Seattle Republican truly hopes Rev. Mathews will accept the nomination to oppose Mr. Gill and, if he does not hear a clap of thunder from a clear sky then our pen will forget its cunning and our thoughts cleave to the top of our cranium. A preacher, at the conclusion of one of his sermons, said: "Let all in the house who are paying their debts, stand up." Instantly every man, woman and child, with one exception, rose to their feet. The preacher seated them and said: "Now, every man not paying his debts stand up." The exception noted a careworn, hungry looking individual, clothed in his last summer's suit, slowly assume a perpendicular position. "How is it, my friend," asked the minister, "that you are the only man not to meet his obligations?" "I run a newspaper," he meekly answered, "and the brethren who stood up here are all my subscribers, and——" "Let us pray," exclaimed the preacher."—Alabama Baptist. WHOSE DOG ARE YOU? Had the Colfax Gazette in its column of editorial hog-wash, purporting to be a sarcastic criticism of our Canutt article, which appeared in these columns a few weeks ago, have made one point or reached a single conclusion we probably would have made some kind of a reply in defense of what we said concerning Mr. Canutt, but under the circumstances to attempt to reply to the conglomerate mess of words would be even more ridiculous than was the storming of the windmills on the part of the famous Don Quixote. One point, and one point only, did the Gazette make and cinch, and that was found in the second line of its tirade (it would be unprofessional to call it an article) where it picturesquely describes the nationality of the editors of The Seattle Republican, and that point has been so generally aired by other papers of the state that had occasion to differ from The Seattle Republican that every man, woman and child with average intelligence more than knew that the editors in question are Negroes. In the third line the Gazette misspelled the name of the editor, thus leading its readers, if it has any, to understand that the editor and the associate editor are not Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Cayton. From that very line to the end of the tirade every line was but a greater error than the first. It was fraught with typographical mistakes, faulty in "orthography, syntax and prosedy" and in short reminded one of a great gas bag puffed all out, but when punctuated only smelt bad. What really is the matter with the Gazette is, it is one of the Ankeny subsidized organs, and it took exceptions to an article in The Seattle Republican pointing out that, Senator Ankeny would not get a single vote from Whitman County when he is up for reelection, and not daring to editorially dispute the allegations therein and feeling that, it would burst wide open unless it damned some one one account of the appearance of the article it picked up the Canutt sketch, which it had to admit was so cleverly written that it was without fault, and began a bit of rather despicable mud slinging, wholly uncalled for. Whenever a newspaper man or a public speaker is lacking in either real ability to answer an opponent or has no rebuttal facts, it's an old trick to begin to sling mud. If The Republican exaggerated in Mr. Canutt's biographical sketch, point it out, and if you are not educationally able to do so, then we suggest you appeal to some one "of the genus Africus" to do so for you. "Open confessions," we have been taught by the Good Book, "are good for the soul." Now admit that you have bitten off more than you can chew, or, more frankly speaking, that you are a "pons-assnorum," and are that for the money that's in it, dished out to you by the Levi Ankeny bunch thereabouts with one rather odd looking Pickerell as chief dispenser. President Theodore Roosevelt sent another of his characteristic messages to Congress last Tuesday, which was remarkable for a number of things. First of all for its great length and secondly for its frankness in dealing with the great questions that are disturbing the body politic of this country at the present time. Railroad regulation he insisted must be taken up and satisfactorily disposed of or public ownership will be forced on the country, and to that end he leaves the matter with the railroad attorneys who have been sent to the United States Senate to look after railroad interest. A Cleveland genius soberly claims that he has invented a wireless trolley that will run street cars and other vehicles on the same principle that wireless telegraphy is operated. Impractical as the invention may appear, it seems no more so than did the telegraph, the telephone and other wonderful modern inventions, for it seems as though wonders were never to cease. The inventor of the wireless trolley admits, however, that there are still some difficulties to overcome before his device will be perfect, but declares that they will be eventually removed.—Ex. The Jewelry Section Shows a Wonderful Variety of Handsome Presents SEATTLE'S BOND ISSUE Now that the school election is a thing of the past, the Seattle property owners should give some consideration to the election that will be held in this city December 28th, which will vote whether or not the city shall issue $500,000 bonds to purchase additional lands for park purposes. Before we had given this subject careful study it occurred to us that we would be doing the taxpayers, and especially the small taxpayers, a great favor by opposing the bond issue, but after making considerable inquiry we are free to confess we would be doing the latter class of taxpayers an injustice should we oppose the bond issue. A number of the largest taxpayers of the city have been consulted on the subject, and they are unanimously in favor of it. Now the burden of the tax will be borne by those men while the small taxpayer with only a home will not pay 10 per cent of the whole. The men who will pay the great bulk of this special tax will seldom, if ever, visit those parks for recreation; but the men who will pay only the 10 per cent, accompanied by their families, will get the full benefit from a recreation standpoint. If, then, the small taxpayer votes against the measure he will be cutting off his nose to spite his face. The big taxpayer wants the parks because they will make the city more attractive and enhance the value of everybody's property, and they will be benefited indirectly. There is no denying the fact that the parks are patronized for recreation purposes almost ex- At 65c Fine Toilet Set, containing a good comb and brush, with fine bristles, variety of ebony and cocobola backs, with silver mountings, put up in a neat box, suitable for Christmas present.

On Sundays all of the parks are crowded and overflowing with working men and their families. There is still no denying the fact that the wealthier citizens will pay almost all of the taxes to pay the $500,000 bond issue, and yet every one of them is anxious for the opportunity to do so. In view of these facts it would seem utterly foolish on the part of the poor to stand in the way of the more wealthy to prevent the latter from spending their money for the comfort and happiness of the former. If the more wealthy citizens were opposing the measure we know of no better way for the poorer citizens to make them expend some of their wealth for the latter's benefit than for the poorer folk to vote for this bond issue. If, therefore, you have not registered this year, which would entitle you to vote for those bonds on December 28th, you should lose no time in registering, and be sure to vote on the appointed day for the bonds. If you are only the owner of a home the taxes you would have to pay on that bond issue would not exceed one dollar, and for that you and your fellow citizens would be the recipients of one of the finest park systems in the country. There is need of more park ground; there is more need of more play grounds in Seattle, and the men who have the money are willing to dig up for it if you will only let them do so. You will see a notice of the election on the opposite page hereof, which should be carefully read.

D.S.JOHNSTON Co. Burke Building 903 SECOND AVENUE Among the many features to be presented with Haverly's Mastodon Minstrels at the Grand, starting Sunday, will be the funniest of all minstrel comedians, Fred Russell and Billy Beard, Marion and Pearl, eccentric knockabout comedians, Garden and Somers, the greatest of all comedy musical acts in which the challenge xylophone solos are a feature, Marseilles, the anatomical enigma from the Nouve Circe in Paris, Haverly Mastodon Choir, the soloists comprising Geo. T. Martin, William F. Boyer, Bruce Waiman, W. H. Parkerson and W. A. Wolfe, and the big, glitteringly bright and gorgeous singing and dancing ensemble, "Moonlight in Dixie" in which the entire company of fifty take part. The show is elaborately and expensively staged throughout. Louise Willis, the widow in Henry W. Savage's production of "The Prince of Pilsen," is an experienced and accomplished artiste in musical comedy work. She has played many prominent parts, notably Jack in "Jack and the Bean Stalk," under Klaw and Erlinger's management. She has played the Salvation Army lassie in "The Belle of New York" in Australia, South Africa and England. She was engaged by the management of the Drury Lane Theatre in London as principal "boy" in the mammoth Holiday spectacles produced there. All London hailed her in the role of "Dick Whittington" as the best "boy" ever seen in that famous old theatre. She even played the part of "Humpty Dumpty" in the Drury Lane production of that pantomime, being the only woman who ever essayed that role. Manager Savage engaged her for the widow in the London run of "The Prince of Pilsen" at the Shaftesbury Theatre and induced her to return to America and take up the part here. The show opens at the Grand next Thursday. There is rather a unique entertainment at the Third Avenue Theatre this week. It is advertised as Zinn's Travesty Company, well that is what it is, a travesty on the amusements of the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN day. It might as well be called "Fun on the Trail" as anything else, and it might have all happened there any night after the regular performance, for such scenes are not uncommon in large cities, and they are not so much exaggerated after all. All an ingenious mind has to do is to group together the funny things seen, individuals and incidents, that he can encounter in a few days or some times a few hours in any large city. There is an abundance of real wholesome fun in the show at the Third Avenue Theatre this week. There is lots to laugh at, and the laughs are well earned—no fault could be found with any feature in the show, for it is clean, harmless and musical. You won't be much wiser for having seen it, but you will feel better. A prominent dramatic critic, reviewing the successes and failures of this season, in a late number of a popular magazine makes the following statement: "It is not the manager who changes his play each year that makes money. The successful manager is the one who takes one good play, sticks to it, endeavors to build it up, and each year offers it to the public in better shape than before." This was Fred Raymond's idea ten years ago when he first introduced "The Missouri Girl." Each year the play has been improved and twice re-written, and now Mr. Raymond has the satisfaction of knowing that he has one of the best money-making attractions on the road, and "The Greatest Domestic Comedy of the Age." One performance of "The Missouri Girl" will be given at the Third Avenue theatre all next week, starting with a matinee Sunday. The home of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Cayton is now under quarantine owing to Ruth having developed a case of diphtheria. She, however, is able to be about and the other children show no signs of contracting the disease.
