On his return from a trip to the Orient Andrew Hemrich, the Seattle brewer, shows great alarm at the prospects of the boycott the Chinese have set on foot against United States products becoming more widespread instead of dying out as most people in this country seem to believe at this time Mr. Hemrich's alarm, however, seems to be a rather selfish one, as the boycott is greatly injuring the sale of Rainier beer in China, he therefore, is desirous and really demands that the United States government forthwith if not sooner recede from those principles that originally brought about the boycott. Great reforms have come into existence through greedy men's pocketbooks, and perhaps this will prove the beginning of another muchly needed reform. The Anglo-Saxon of this country for the most part is either himself a bragadocia bully or is domineered by one. He has no respect or feeling for man who is not of his shade and compulsion and he has, since the mind of man cannot not to the contrary, openly preyed upon the earnings of a weaker race and not only preyed upon their earnings, but absolutely reduced a less fortunate race to bondage to make more certain that not a penny of the earnings of that race get away from him. In other words, the dominant race in the United States is money mad. Money is Christ Jesus and him crucified with them. Resort to any intrigue and stoop to any depravity if there is only money in it. The second great rawhide and bloody bones rot that the dominant race of this country has never lost an opportunity to parade before the public is his complexion. To possess a white skin though no brains at all elevates one possessing it a thousand degrees beyond another with a dark skin, though possessing the intelligence of a Li Hung Chang, a Baron Komura, a Dr. Bleyden or a Frederick Douglas. Drunk beyond description from drinking such draughts of race superiority dregs prompted the dominant race of this country to pass emigration laws against the Chinese and Japanese, disfranchise the Negroes of their own country and to brand all darker races as brutes rather than human beings, and the intolerant ones in order to whip a majority of them all into line sung and preached the "white man's burden" and "Nigger dominancy" until it has become a basic principle wherever the old flag flies. The Chinese exclusion laws have not only kept out the hord of Chinese laborers, but in the hands of SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1906 "white man" bigots have been drastically applied to Chinese gentlemen students, merchants and even to diplomats until none of that class of Chinamen will dare try to tour the United States lest they be subject to insults at every turn of the road. All went as well as a wedding bell with the enforcers of the Chinese exclusion laws until the worm turned and the Chinese said: "If Chinamen are not good enough to travel through your country and be treated civilly then Chinamen are not good enough to buy your goods, wares and drinks and, therefore, the Chinese government will place United States products under the ban of a boycott. It was derisively laughed at in the outset by the bigots, but day by day the boycott feeling has become more widespread among the Chinese until today it is becoming quite alarming to the traders of this country and men and concerns like Andrew Hemrich, who have been selling products in China reaching in the millions of dollars are beginning to feel the shoe pinching and have already began to cry calf rope. The Chinese dogs of yesterday are in their eyes today nice fellows and as good as some "white men," and they want those damnable exclusion laws either modified or wiped out entirely. For this sudden change of heart they do not explain that it was brought about through their pocketbook and by no means through either their heart or their heads. For many years the Japanese was held in the same racial contempt by these bigots as were the Chinese, but when those little brown men met great Russia and completely annihilated her armies on land and sea the Japs suddenly become an interesting and intelligent nation and must be considered in the affairs of the world. A fear lest the United States be the next against whom their viles of wrath might be turned may have prompted this brotherhood of man being so stretched as to admit a dark race into its circle or it is another case of stooping to anything for the almighty dollar. Some two months ago Hon. Harry F. Sturve, at one time a prominent Seattle man, but at present engaged in business in China, warned the citizens of this country against pushing the dractic Chinese exclusion law and declared in public print that the United States merchants would lose millions of dollars on account of the boycott even if the laws were modified at once and the longer they remained in a statu quo the more widespread would the boycott become, and now all he said at that time has been more than verified by Andrew Hemrich, a brewer and capitalist of Seattle. The question is, will the sensible folk of this country permit the bragadocia bullies and bigots to continue to run it into international complications and civil strifes on account of their greed for gain and self-assumed race superiority? Would Andrew Hemrich have given a tinker's dam for the troubles of the Chinamen had not his pocketbook been disturbed? Would the Southern cotton growers have had anything but words of commendation for the law had not their Chinese sale of cotton been cut off? Are not PRICE FIVE CENTS both of these cases proof sufficient that the Anglo-Saxon of this country is money mad and stands ready to sacrifice even his country for the almighty dollar? THE EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION January 1st, or New Year to the American Negro, will ever be one of pleasant memories even when the cause for its pleasant memories will be a century in the past. To unshackle four million human beings and convert them from a state of chatteldom to full-fledged citizenship by one stroke of the pen placed a halo about the day that will make it sacred to those who were its recipients for generations and ages. The name and memory of the immortal Lincoln, whom an all-wise Creator brought into this world seemingly for the special mission of making men out of human chattels, will ever stand out in bold relief against a dark background and shine no less brightly than the Emancipation Proclamation itself, which was written on time's tablet with the hearts' blood of a half a million of Uncle Sam's bravest and best men and women. While the Negro was the direct recipient of that wonderful document, yet the whole country profited thereby and every patriotic son and daughter of the United States still rejoice in the highest that they had a President who was not afraid to do and die. The Negro has a double cause for rejoicing on this day, for though Lincoln spoke the word that made him free, some three months or more prior to the taking effect of the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1st, 1863, he likewise became a patriot. North, South, East and West the Negro remembers the memories of that day by holding public demonstrations, and the New Year just past was no exception to the rule. In Atlanta, Georgia, so incensed did a column of Negro marchers twelve blocks long become at an Anglo-Saxon, who wanted to show his contempt for the demonstration by wrecklessly trying to drive through the procession, that the man all but lost his life, and a street car conductor fared equally as bad when he attempted to run his car through the procession. In no other section save the South do such clashes as these occur, for in the other sections of the country the whites are too highly pleased at the demonstrations to do or say anything that would cause a ripple of unpleasantness. Though the commemorative ceremonies were not generally participated in by the Negroes of Seattle, yet quite an enthusiastic number of them assembled at the A. M. E. church on Fourteenth Avenue, and a splendid meeting is reported. John F. Cragwell was made chairman of the evening, and patriotic speeches were made by the chairman, representing the Evergreen Literary Society of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, by I. F. Norris, representing the Lee Literary Society of the A. M. E. Church, and by Rev. Edmonson, representing the Church of Jesus Christ. The speeches were interspersed ye ROM ee with musical selections, and those present were much encouraged for having been there. GAS RUINS HOMES. A score or more persons have thanked this office during the past week for having said a word of warning to persons, who have never used gas for lighting purposes in their homes and yet are contemplating lighting them with gas. Even the tint- ing purposes, and I paid dearly for the ex- perience,’ came from a gentleman, who owns one of the nice homes of the city. ‘It took the gas light but a couple of months to smoke up my wall paper, which was put on a short time before I began using gas, so badly as to necessitate my having to have the whole house repapered. Whether the meter was read correctly or not I knew not nor cared not, but the damage it did my wall paper cost me more than my electric lights have cost me for two years, let alone one. Persons with fine interior homes will make the mistake of their lives to think of lighting them with gas light. Even the tint- ing on the walls and ceilings in the home of a friend of mine became so smoked up from using gas for lighting that it had to be all done over. That we ordered it out forth- with you can rest assured.’’ ‘During the past year,’’ said an employe of the gas company, ‘‘hundreds and hun- dreds of families have either ordered the gas completely taken out of their homes or it is never used, and the gas company only gets twenty-five cents per month meter rent, which state of affairs exists because the gas smokes up the homes so badly in the first place; and, secondly, because the breakage in mantels and chimneys is so enormous. I really believe it costs the average home more to repair the breakage in lamps, chimneys and mantels than it costs the average home for lighting with electricity one month with an- other, to say nothing of the gas bill itself. The only way I can account for the heavy breakage is because there is so much air in the gas pipes. Oh, yes, the presence of a strong pressure of air forced into the gas pipes increases the revolutions of the meter double and treble, and likewise is largely responsible for the heavy breakage in man- tels. While the company is constantly con- necting up new homes with gas there is an- other crew constantly disconnecting gas from the homes that have used it and discov- ered it was about twice as expensive as elec- tricity as furnished by the Seattle Electric Company and about three times as expensive as electricity as furnished by the City Light- ing Plant. ‘A “hot time’’ followed the receipt of the news that the Seattle boys defeated the Portlands on New Years day. Some railroad maps give the population at 4,700 and the citizens are up in arms over the injustice done the city. We don’t blame them. No, gentle reader, a salary of five thou- sand dollars a year is not too much for the head of the engineering department of Seat- tle. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN While ‘‘the heathen in his blindness bows down to wood and stone’’ the American in his get-rich madness bows down to gold and prejudice. - Seattle’s holiday trade is reported by the merchants to have been the largest in the history of the city, and yet many of those selfsame merchants hollered wolf all the fall. Ex-Judge Benson says he don’t want an office; that he is for municipal ownership because it is a good thing. It is now in order for Judge Humphries to declare him- self. Senator Piles made his first argument in Washington the first of the week and it was in favor of the appointment of Vilas for as- sayer. The eloquence was directed to the director of the mint. We can tell our judges at the court house how to stop the hold-ups in Seattle. Sen- tence every man criminal to 14 years in the pen and it will not be long until these dan- gerous thugs will give Seattle the go by. In defeating the park bonds the Ninth ward voters would seem to have cut off their noses to spite their faces, and learning of their discomfiture did as much damage to other men in ordinary cireumstances as pos- sible. Longworth, the man who will marry Princess Alice next month, was given a turn in the house just after the engagement was announced. He stood the test all right until he was asked his opinion on race suicide. That made him hot. The great state of Washington, through its officers, servants and agents, recently caused the arrest of two boys for hunting without a license. The men who are re- sponsible for the passage of that dollar li- cense law should feel proud of their records. President Hill of the Great Northern has shown his friendship for Seattle in many ways, but he evidently secured the services of some bitter enemy of Seattle to design the new union depot. As a thing of architec- tural beauty, the new depot is certainly not a howling success. One of the city officials recently employed a new domestie who was the first day sent upstairs to sweep and dust the second floor, which included the bath room. It wasn’t long until she lustily called for help to move the 700 pound bath tub out so she could sweep back and under it. When the Rainier ave. trunk sever is com- pleted and with the Jackson street regrade, that valley will be one of the most desir- able suburban locations around Seattle. The Washington street car line that runs down that valley to Renton is about taxed to its full capacity in handling the passenger and freight business. se praca ar arena TIS caper amc FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1906.

Senator Clark, who is the owner of much timber land, will be called on to explain how he secured the same. Roosevelt's administration don't give a continental whether the violator of the laws is a rich or poor man, whether he is a senator or a common grafter, a plebian or patrician. Don't say laws cannot be enforced. When Chief Delaney told his boys fast driving around the corners must be stopped the police brought the violaters in in bunches. Whenever the chief says gambling must be put out of business, gambling stops. The laws of the city can and will be enforced whenever the chief of police so orders. A woman down at Renton recently had an experience with a burglariously inclined chicken thief. It was late at night and she didn't waken her husband or make an outcry, but quietly drove the man away. In her own description of the episode she said: "I heard some one in the chicken yard and I went out. I had on a blanket and a shotgun, but he dropped that goose awful quick." Municipal ownership is in itself not of sufficient strength to command a majority of the votes of Seattle, but when coupled with the desire of many voters to take the street car and other corporations out of politics, you will find that when the question is presented to the people, it will be a close call. If the voters of Seattle favor the ownership of public utilities, it will be on account of the indiscreet conduct of some of the corporations. Uunder the U. S. laws corporations are indicted by grand juries and fined by the courts. If governments were amenable to the criminal laws of nations, France could be prosecuted for falsely pretending to be a republic, Russia for posing as a Christian civilized people and Turkey—well she would be sent to the penitentiary for life. The time has come when the Tacoma and Seattle papers should quit saying mean things about their respective towns. The two cities are only 30 miles apart and in 25 years will build up to each other, and in 50 years the two cities will unite as Greater Seattle. Let us throw the mantle of charity over the part of rivalry and work for the best interests of both cities. The United States senate is at the present time in very bad repute in the eyes of the American people. Even a pure food law cannot be enacted on account of the opposition of some senators who are interested in the manufacture of adulterations. Two were recently convicted of grafting. A third is called on to explain some of his acts, while the resignation of that sleek, sly old Depew is asked for on account of his connection with the insurance frauds. Is there no way of putting that gang out of business? England once fixed her house of lords, and fixed it plenty. Surely the senate needs repairs. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN AGAINST RACE SUICIDE. (Ohio State Journal.) Modern women active in society and clubs are scored for avoiding motherhood by "Olga Louise Cadijah," under which pen names a Columbus author has written a pamphlet entitled, "Turn on the Light." American women, the author says, are so engaged with club and social duties that they feel they cannot afford to give up the time that children require. Contrasting the opposite tendency in colored women, the writer says: "The white woman is either prohibited by the insane love of society or the intemperate devotion to women's club from becoming a mother, or, if she does, the same agencies restrict the size of her family. "With race suicide prevalent among the whites; with early marriages and prolific maturity among Negro woman, one finds the strongest argument to substantiate the claim that ultimately America will be a black people country." The writer says that while the legitimate birth rate is decreasing, the illegitimate rate is increasing. "Race suicide, unless checked, means that our morals will be blunted to the degree of dumb animals." It is stated. "It means that in the next century America will begin to take her place in history alongside of Rome. Ministers should preach early marriages. Early marriages are love matches. Late marriages, in most cases, are marriages of conveniences. "Emanating from race suicide are all the crimes recorded in criminilogy, prostitution, infanticide and murder. What fills our insane asylums, our jails, our imbecile asylums, and hangman's scaffolds? If you would seek the primary cause, go study race suicide, the crime of the 20th century, the crime against man, the crime against God. "It is the minister of the gospel whom we must look for an awakening of the public to the crime." DID SOME MULTIPLYING. Lottie Davis is the name of a Negro woman who recently died in Welder, Texas, at the ripe old age of 107 years. She leaves a husband, who is 115 years of age, and a son who is seventy-eight years of age and in excellent health. The husband until very recently enjoyed good health for his years and was as active as the ordinary man thirty years his junior. The only son of the above couple is the father of nine daughters and eight sons, all of whom have been married for many years, and they have had among them 193 children, and of that number 187 are still living. Some of these have married and have children and some of the grand-children have also married and have children. The mother of this family lived to see 300 offsprings from her marriage. While the father is growing feeble, yet he may live for quite a few years yet and should that be ten years or more he will doubtless live to see his direct progeny reach the 400 mark and all in 125 years. If there are many more such cases in the United States like this there would seem to be some grounds for the pitiful plea of the white woman of Columbus, Ohio, for the women of her race to desist from the race suicide prac- tice so common among them lest America be Negroized. There is no doubt but that the Negro is multiplying very rapidly in this country and there is no doubt but that he is living longer than any other class of citizens and under such conditions from an Anglo-Saxon standpoint there is great cause for alarm lest the land be overrun with Negro descendants. Reasoning from that standpoint the future of the United States seems rather "dark." SOME COMPARTIVE FIGURES John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil dividends for the year will, according to the Minneapolis Journal, amount to $20,000,000, and his income from all sources for 1905 is estimated at $40,000,000. That sum is not the Rockefeller fortune, bear in mind, but the accretions of a single year. "Frenzied finance" would capitalize such an income for a par value of a billion dollars. Rockefeller might spend and give away $40,000,000 in a single year, and be no poorer at the end of the year than at its beginning. He doesn't spend 1 per cent of it, and in all his years of giving he has never gotten rid of as much as he is taking in this year. The money is simply piling up, adding to the vast hoard and increasing the enormous power of one man. Taxes levied in the state of Minnesota for a year amount to $20,000,000. This sum supports the state government, all the state institutions, all county government, all of the cities with their special assessments, supports of the schools, and pays the expenses of townships and road work. The Rockefeller income is twice the income of that great state. Such figures are beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals. Reducing them to lower terms will make it easier. Rockefeller's income for a week is very near $800,-000. That sum of money would establish a family in wealth and social position for all time to come, if conservatively invested. The income from that $800,000 would keep its possessors in luxury such as no one dreamed of fifty years ago. The income for a single day, $100,000, would be a welcome endowment for many a small college. Every hour adds to the Rockefeller fortune a sum almost equal to a congressman's annual salary. He receives in fifteen minutes from the money that is working for him as much as most skilled mechanics earn in a year of toil. Regardless of where and how he got it, the fact stands that he has it, and that the increment from his hoard is large enough to be a menace to legitimate industry and commerce. It is great enough to threaten the subversion of free institutions.—Puyalup Independent. An Eastern paper says: "God help the poor benighted girl who will marry a fellow who hasn't enough ahead to give her a home." To which the Commoner retorts, "God help the poor benighted fellow who marries a girl who consents simply to get a home."—Ex. POLITICAL POT-PIE The assembling of the Republican city central committee Saturday to make the ap- portionment of delegates and to fix the date of holding the primaries and the convention will be the first shot out of the political gun in the coming municipal campaign. Repub- licans have a knack of getting together in the nick of time and thus avoid dangerous faction fights, and it is hinted that the apportionment of delegates, which threat- ened such dire consequences among the Re- publicans, have been ‘‘fixed up out of court’? and that all will be serene at the as- sembling of the central committee tomor- row. The fight some of the members de- elared they would make in the committee to permit the voters to nominate their candi- dates for office by the direct primary route has also been called off and the matter will not be brought up. The Pie-Maker truly be- lieves that a great majority of the Repub- licans of this city favor the direct primary system of nominating candidates for office, but the bosses and especially the 8. E. Com- pany are against it and for that reason it will have to take a back seat for two years more. The bosses, however, had better profit by the experience of bosses all over this country at the last November election and be satisfied with a half a loaf. While the municipal ownership matter will not come before the committee tomorrow, yet it prom- ises to be a factor in the convention and it may become so great a factor as to cause a serious split,in the Republican ranks after the convention. If the Repulbican conven- tion sees fit to overlook it completely or, if it does notice it, say something mean about it as is characteristic of corporation hire- lings and high salaried jumping-jacks, and then should the opposition get up a fusion ticket with a strong man at its head such a man as Judge F. A. MeDonald, the recently appointed member of the civil service board, hundreds and thousands of Republicans would vote against their party candidate and do so very cheerfully. That notwith- standing the apparent harmony in Repub- liean cireles there are dangerous breakers ahead is plain to be seen, and the Pie-Maker truly hopes that those at the head of the party will make haste slowly. Mayor Ballinger some time ago recom- mended to the city council a number of amendments to the city charter, which he thought the council should submit to the voters at the next regular election. The most, if not all, of those amendments were along the line of needed reforms and a very general approval of each and every one of them was heard by those who in anyway dis- cussed them after they had become public property. The city council did not seem to think much of them, for it has moved so slowly in getting them in ship-shape to be submitted at the next election that it is very generally believed at this writing that the council has pigeon-holed them all and propose they die a bornin. If this specula- tion proves or is true the Republican voters will not be party pleased at all and they will TUE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ’ —. « & ! eee OTTO A. CASE. still be more inclined to vote for a good man that favors municipal ownership, direct primaries and charter amendments along the line of those recommended by Mayor Bal- linger. “Some of the amendments recommended by Mayor Ballinger,’’ said a well known politician one day this week, ‘‘are so abso- lutely necessary that it seems foolish to try to control the city without their adoption, and chief among them is the regulating of saloon licenses. So long as the mayor is held responsible for the acts of saloons he will be seriously handicapped in controlling them when the granting of the licenses rests in the legislative branch of the city govern- ment instead of the executive. If the license of a bad saloonkeeper be revoked, he, if he should have a pull with the council, is able to defy the mayor and his chief of police. If a bad man applies for a saloon license and has a pull with the council he will get his license in defiance to any oppo- sition the mayor and chief of police might offer, and yet the council and the people look to the mayor to make those scoundrels obey the law, and hold the mayor and the chief personally and politically responsible for any overt act they commit. Put the granting of licenses absolutely in tHe hands of the executive department and then elect a man mayor who is a man and the city will be run along the lines of common de- eeney. Some one intimates that if this is done the door to systematie graft will be opened to the police foree, and this too is a mistake, for the door would be thrown no wider open than it is at the present time, for despite the fact that Seattle has the best and cleanest partisan mayor and chief of police at the present time in its history it is claimed that certain ones on the force at present will take as low as a fifty cent graft and that one long-legged Missourian has grown rich by the operation. This, of course, is only rumor, but it is common ru- mor and the old adage says: ‘‘Where there is so much smoke there is bound to be some FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1906. fire.’ I hold that with the granting of saloon licenses in the hands of the executive there would be less chance for graft than there is under the present mode. If a de- tective or a regular policeman will accept a bribe from a criminal there is no way of preventing him from doing so only by drop- ping him from the foree and catching is always before hanging. When the voters of this city at a recent election defeated the bonds for city parks they seriously blundered from a financial and a health standpoint as well as from a beautiful city standpoint. At the rate Seat- tle has grown for the past ten years parks and playgrounds ten years hence will be worth ten fold more than now. Playgrounds in large cities are absolutely necessary and by not buying now the taxpayers will lose large sums of money. The park regulations may not be to the liking of a majority of the voters, but the voters and taxpayers are cutting off their own noses to spite their faces in not having the park board, park superintendent or the park purchasing agent to acquire more park lands and playgrounds while such are reasonably cheap. Not enough persons interested themselves to vote one way or the other at the last election to get a true expression of the people on the sub- ject and we therefore believe the matter should be submitted to the voters a second time either at the next general election or at a special election. It is currently reported that Councilman- at-Larke Frank P. Mullen will not be a can- didate to succeed himself, but will make a fight for councilman from the Seventh Ward. The following political suggestion is tak- en from the Post-Intelligencer. It may have merit in it, and it has already gained some supporters among candidates and_ their friends. Under the tangled circumstances there seems to be no other way out of the apportionment proposition. If, however, the same effort is put forth to have the candi- dates nominated by the direct primary sys: tem even this political strategy would not be necessary. But we quote: Maj. Otto A. Case, chairman of the Re- publican city central committee, who yester- day issued a call for a meeting to be held Saturday evening at 7:30 at the Bailey Building, has a new idea which he believes will eliminate the rows and squabbles which have so frequently attended ward caucuses in the past. “At the meeting Saturday night,’’ said Maj. Case, ‘‘I shall propose a resolution deal- ing with this matter. The gist of.the reso- lution will be as follows: The central com- mittee is to appoint a captain or the meet- ing itself will elect a chairman, who shall then call for the nomination of delegates to be voted on at the primaries. Each of the factions, where there are factions or sides, may then nominate a ticket, and then, un- der the direction of the chairman, lots must be drawn to determine which of the sets of FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1906. delegates shall have the head place on the ticket. "I contend that there is no use in the perpetuation of a system which results in efforts to pack caucuses, under which such notorious abuses and such useless and inexcusable expenditures of money have occurred. I do not believe there is any occasion for any fight over the place on the ticket, and I believe this plan would eliminate it. "In connection with the division of the delegates among the precincts, it is my idea to take the total number of delegates and divide them up among the whole number of precincts. For instance, in the Seventh ward, which has fifteen precincts and sixty delegates, I would give every precinct four delegates, and so on. While this may give a slightly uneven representation to some few of the precincts, the difference will be slight. The result in the ward will be the same, and there will be no opportunity for any manipulation whatever by any political leaders." * * * In an interview with John E. Humphries this question was put to him: "Suppose that the two committees now acting upon the municipal ownership matter, consisting of a committee from the Municipal League and a committee from the labor unions, shall, on the 14th day of this month, in mass convention, nominate an independent municipal ownership ticket, will you support the ticket nominated?" In answer, Mr. Humphries said, "I am a Republican, and for more than a quarter of a century I have been a member of the Republican party and taken an active part in its advancement, and nothing will induce me to leave the party of Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt. The principles of the party are good enough for me. It will be noticed that in the first address I delivered on municipal ownership, May 4, 1905, more than 10,000 of which have been put into circulation, I then stated the matter thus: 'This being a Republican city, it must of necessity come through the Republican party. Men must be nominated for councilmen and for city officers who will favor municipal ownership of the transportation system.' I stand today as I stood then and have never deviated from the proposition. I believe that four out of five of the Republican voters of this city are in favor of electing councilmen and other city officers who will be in favor of submitting to the voters of this city at the proper time and in the proper manner, at the request of the citizens, the proposition of owning, controlling, managing and operating the transportation lines, telephone lines, heat and power plants and other public utilities and conveniences for the accommodation, comfort and necessities of the people. The Republican party constructed the Cedar river water system and the Cedar river electric light system; and every plank of the Republican platform for the building and advancement of these systems was dictated by me and adopted by the Republican city conventions; and I have an abiding faith that the coming city convention will be willing to place itself on record as being in favor of letting the people vote as to whether they will have the other public utilities. This being a government of the people, for the people and by the people, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the party of Lincoln must be liberal enough to let the people have whatever they desire. The time has come when conventions must be controlled by the people instead of by the bosses and their candidates. "I am in favor of the delegates in convention selecting the candidates and not the candidates selecting the delegates. The people are now against bossism. They will not agree that a small party of bosses may form a ring and nominate and dictate a ticket and compel the people to support it. They are not ready to turn out one set of bosses and let another in. "In the last election in this city, the Republicans received 20,000 votes, and the Democrats 5,000 votes. There are now 30,000 voters. Four-fifths of the new voters are Repubilcans, making 24,000 Republican voters and 6,000 Democratic voters. It will be seen at a glance that no movement in opposition to the Republican party could take from it 9,000 votes and put them into an independent movement. "As I have stated in my speeches and in my private conversations, the way to bring the matter about is for all municipal ownership people to take part in the Republican primaries, elect delegates to the Republican convention in favor of municipal ownership and nominate candidates who can be trusted to carry out the will of the people. I don't see how the number of voters in an independent movement can expect that 9,000 out of the 24,000 Republican voters will leave their party and go into a separate movement. It smacks too much of the attempt of the 'tail to wag the dog.' It would take a revolution to bring about such a result, and there is no occasion at this time for any such revolution, as a great majority of the Republican voters are themselves in favor of municipal ownership, and as soon as they learn their power, they can carry the conventions and nominate and elect candidates who will never hesitate to submit the matter to the vote of the people. "On last Sunday, the Post-Intelligencer published a letter from Port Arthur, Canada, in which it was stated that 21 electric lights burning night and day could be had for $3.70 per month. The telephones were furnished to residences at $1.00 per month and to business houses at $2.00 per month. That at these rates, the city cleared $1,000 last year after paying interest and sinking fund; that in two years from now they expect to furnish residence phones at $6.00 per year and business phones for $12.00 per year. "Republicans as well as Democrats can understand the difference between $72.00 per year in this city and $12.00 per year in Port Arthur for telephones, making a saving to the subscriber of $60.00 per year on office phones; they can understand the difference between $36.00 per year in this city and $6.00 per year in Port Arthur, being a saving on house phones of $30.00 per year. They can understand the article in 'Everybody's Magazine' of January, 1906, under the title of 'Soldiers of the Common Good,' by Charles Edward Russell; and can understand the annual profit upon street car lines, at low fares, of $3,823,865 set forth on page 49 of the magazine, which was netted by the 35 cities owning their own street car lines; they can understand the $1,090,200 therein stated turned over for the benefit of general taxation. They know the difference between $2,000,000 on public utilities being sent East each year and $2,000,000 retained in Seattle. The voters are at the present time 'in terrorem' from bossism. They have submitted so long to the yoke of bosses that they are afraid to call their souls their own. But away down deep in their heart they are thoroughly convinced of the benefits due the city by the city owning, operating and managing its public utilities. I want every man who voted for Roosevelt, and every man who wishes he had voted for Roosevelt, to come into the Republican primaries and take part in nominating the Republican ticket. The fact is, I am commissioned by the Republican party to take into the republic an organization every voter in the city of Seattle who desires to act, work and vote with the Republican party, and give them a 'square deal.' "Instead of the Republican party of this city submitting to a few bosses and candidates dictating the ticket to be nominated, making trades in advance of the convention and using the delegates of the convention as mere pegs, the theory of the primary law is that the delegates elected by the people shall select the candidates; and no set of men except the delegates have a right to dictate the nomination to the Republican convention. The Republican conventions, city, county and state, as far as the delegates selecting the candidates, have been a farce. The delegates had nothing whatever to do with the selection, but only occupied the position of a formal ratification meeting. It is time for this kind of work to stop." * * * After eighteen years' continuous service as superintendent of the school for defective youths at Vancouver James Watson has resigned and a new man selected in his stead. Mr. Watson seemed peculiarly fitted for the work and for that reason he was retained at the school when he frequently differed from the state administration, and though he was subject to removal at the will of the governor he was not and it remained for Mr. Kinkaid, a member of the board of control, with whom Mr. Watson had school troubles, to force him to resign. The above cuts shows the principle building on the grounds and Superintendent Watson. From time to time he has submitted voluminous reports as to what the school was doing and those reports reflected more or less credit on the management, but they were only reports and reports do not always tally with the actual facts about public institutions. * * * A crank came running into our office the other day and said a man had swallowed a two foot rule and was dying by inches. I started out to learn the particulars and met the doctor. The physician said that was nothing, that he had a patient once who swallowed a thermometer and died by degrees. A couple of by-standers chipped in, one saying it reminded him of a fellow who swallowed a revolver and went off easy. The other said he had a friend in Manitoba who drank a quart of applejack and died in good spirits.—Hillyard News. PHOTO BY J.A. MEEBER BIG ORDERS FOR NEW ROLLING STOCK Mere figures afford only a faint idea of the immensity of the railroad interests in this country, but the orders for new equipment placed within a year by three of the many great companies afford opportunity for some comparisons that are enlightening. The Pennsylvania Railroad has ordered 500 locomotives and 15,000 freight cars for quick delivery, at a cost of $21,250,000. The locomotives placed in line would reach from the Battery almost or quite to the Harlem river in New York, and the cars would make two trains, each of them reaching from New York to Philadelphia. These are rough estimates, and very moderate. The New York Central also has placed or is about to place an order for 400 or 500 locomotives, at a total cost of $7,00,000, an average of $14,000. Two locomotives a day is the rate at which the Baltimore and Ohio is receiving an order placed in April, 1905, for about 250 locomotives. The same company has an order out for 10,000 passenger cars, at a total cost of $14,000,000. The locomotives included in these orders would make a line at least fifteen miles long; and a train made up of the cars would be three hundred miles long. * * * Railroads May Utilize Waterfalls In view of predictions that eventually steam will be superseded by electricity in the operation of railroads, there is room for interesting speculation concerning the part that water power may play in the transportation problem of the future. Already the matter has come forward in Sweden, where all the fuel for locomotives has to be imported. Swedish coal is not adapted to the purpose, as has been found by careful experiment. The managers of the state railroads have been instructed to make trials of peat, peat charcoal, and peat briquettes as fuel for locomotives. The intention is to construct a special locomotive to be used in experiments, and if they are successful other engines will undoubtedly be built, because peat is abundant in Sweden. It has been suggested that the state railroads could get their motive power partly from waterfalls and probably experiments will be made in this line. * * * Religion Promotes a Railroad. A recent report by the German commercial attache at Constantinople gives some particulars of the railroad, now in course of construction, which will ultimately connect Damascus and Mecca. The Hedjaz railway is being made primarily on religious grounds. Were it not for the certain prospect of attracting an enormous pilgrim traffic the undertaking would never have been entered upon, for by far the greater portion of the twelve hundred miles of railway track will be laid in deserts and unproductive lands. The building is being carried out under German supervision, and as Turkish troops have been largely employed as laborers, the cost of the work will be comparatively small. The line from Damascus to Maan—about one-third of the total length—was opened to traffic, with popular appreciation, last autumn. From a commercial standpoint the only benefit likely to be derived from the line will be the opening up for cultivation of certain districts near the Jordan, which have hitherto been neglected for lack of means to transport the crops. Some branch lines, however, are to be constructed for industrial purposes. One of these, from Haiffa to Deraat, would have been completed in May but for the damage caused by the heavy floods. This will increase the trade of Haiffa at the expense of the trade of Beirut. Boston boasted the biggest railroad station in the world when the South Station was completed at a cost of $13,000,000. St. Louis eclipsed that mammoth affair, and now Leipsic eclipses both. The new main railroad station in the German city is in course of construction and will have a covered area of 920,518 square feet. There will be twenty-six tracks. The cost of construction will be $30,940,000, of which the city of Leipsic contributes $3,808,000. Several millions are to be borne by the German Federal Postoffice Department for a separate postoffice station, which will not be completed before the year 1914. The project of ferrying railroad trains across the English channel from Dover to Calais and vice versa has been in the air several years. It has been called to the attention of parliament, and now a book entitled "The Channel Ferry" has appeared in advocacy of it, and has met with great general enthusiasm. The scheme, as proposed in this work, provides for a huge "lift" at Dover, 350 feet PHOTO BY J.A. MENBERG School ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN * * * The Biggest of Railroad Stations. * * * By Train From Dover to Calais. Ex-Supt. Watson long, upon which an entire train can be run. In less than three minutes the huge bulk can be lowered to the level of the dock and the train run from it to the deck of the great ferryboat. At Calais there would be a similar arrangement and the train would be run from the boat to the "lift" and then raised to the level of the railroad track. The estimated cost of the enterprise is $5,000,000, of which sum $2,000,000 is estimated as the cost of the three ferry steamers which would be required. Important Railroad Rate Decision. Judge Bethea, at Chicago, Nov. 20, held that the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission in regard to lowering the railroad rates on live stock from Missouri river points to Chicago to conform with the rate on dressed products was not lawful and should be enforced. The decision is in the case in which the Chicago, Great Western Railroad and seventeen similar corporations were defendants in two suits begun by the Interstate Commerce Commission. Attorney L. A. Shaver, representing the Commission, after reading the decision, said he would communicate with the department of justice before deciding whether to take an appeal. Judge Bethea's decision is expected to have a bearing on the present agitation on legislation to give Interstate Commerce Commission rate-making power. Railroad Extension in Canada. Canada is entering upon a period of extensive railroad building, according to a report from Consul Ifft of Chatham, Ontario. During the next three or four years he estimates that 7,444 miles will be constructed at a cost of $182,000,000. The beginning of electric railroad building in the peninsula of Ontario is noted as the latest step in railroad progress. PHOTO BY J.A. WEISER School for Defective Youth. FRIDAY.

Miss Eliza Day, of Portland, who has been visiting her aunt, Mrs. Gib- son, for the past two weeks, will re- turn to her home next week. Miss Georgia Selby kept open house New Year evening from 8 until 12 oclock p. m, and a host of her friends and acquaintances called during the evening. Mrs. J. E, Hawkins and Miss Cora Oliver, assisted by ten other ladies, kept open house New Year and were the recipients of a stream of callers during the entire afternoon. Mr. Laurence Sledge, of Tacoma, be- ing in the city last Friday on business, remained over to the entertainment at the residence of Mrs. Gayton and par- took of its pleasantries, Rey. S. S, Freeman, who is also edi- tor of the Searchlight, is reported seri- ously ill at the parsonage in Tacoma of pneumonia. In the meanwhile the Searchlight has been forced to sus- pend. The social hop given at the resi- dence of Mr. John T. Gayton last Fri- day evening proved to be one of the most pleasant affairs of the season. The music was exceptionally good and every one present enjoyed the dancing almost beyond description. Mrs, Elizabeth Burdett, who, with her husband, Dr. Samuel Burdett, was a resident of Seattle for a number of years, and who subsequently moved onto a homestead in Benton county, where the doctor died, is visiting with Rey. Manny. She has been in poor health for some time. Mr. and Mrs, John T. Gayton, Mr. and Mrs. J, E. Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Tutt, Mrs. Aurora Grose, Mrs. S. A.

Johnstone and Miss Cora Oliver, Mr. Clifford Handcock and Mr. Sims made up a happy party that called in a body New Year’s even- ing as a surprise to Mrs, Susie Revels Chickering Piano We suggest that you give the Chick- ering Piano your serious considera- tion. Even if you already own a good piano you should aim to possess a Baby Grand Chickering, for two rea- sons: It’s fashionable, It’s also evidence of good taste. And further, the Chickering Piano has an established market value that even Father Time can scarcely affect. We show this superb instrument in the favorite woods. It can be had on easy terms if desired. Or your present piano will be taken in exchange at a fair valuation. D.S.JOHNSTON Co. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Cayton, that being her birth- day anniversary. After a _ visit of an hour and a half with her, during which time very pleasant mo- ments passed, the entire number called for a few minutes at the home of Miss Georgia Selby. The Aleazar Beauties will appear at the Seattle all next week. There are a dozen girls and a majority are from that center of chic and vivacious maid- ens, Philadelphia. They are picked for their beauty primarily because every- body likes to see pretty girls, but they are also talented and can sing, dance and frolic to the delight of every one. They appear in the two burlesques which open the show and stars the ball of fun and melody on a lively pace, and again in the afterpiece with which the performance ends. In both of these they will appear in their cos- tumes, which cost the management over $5,000, and which are modeled after the latest Parisian conceits. Be- sides the girls, however, the organiza- tion comprises a coterie of comedians. The cartoon comedy, “Buster Brown,” with chorus, ballet and hand- some stage settings, will be the attrac- tion at the Grand all next week. The title is widely known, that almost everyone will recognize the fact that it is a play founded on the adventures of that funny little fellow with the in- nocent look and the infinite capacity for mischief, that Richard F. Outcault has made known in the pages of the New York Herald. The enterprising manager has acquired the sole right to Buster, including the members of his family and his dog Tige. They have all been incorporated into a very amusing farce, with music that has proven equally attractive to auditors of all ages. There is a bevy of girls who have been gatbed in the latest and most luxuriant style. Buster is an appealing and amusing little fellow and with his dog Tige is the moving spirit in a vast number of humorous complications and side-splitting adven- tures. ae ie Seats for Calve, who is to sing at the Grand on January 19, may now be ordered by mail, enclosing self-ad- dressed return envelope. The regular window sale is to start January 16. The warm welcome received by the Taylor Company at the Third Avenue Theatre this week must have been gratifying to the various members. “Her Marriage Vow” was a wise selec- tion. It is a good play, teaches a good moral and at the same time affords ample amusement and something to reflect on after you have gone home. Men and women are benefited by such object lessons as “Her Marriage Vow” affords. The Taylor Company closes a too short engagement Saturday night, but should have remained long- er. There are more good things in store for the patrons of the Third Avenue ‘lheatre. Next week another new play will be seen there, which makes about the thirtieth new play that has been seen there in the past year. “A Fight for Millions” is the title and the play is one of the most thrilling and lively of its class. Among the scenic and mechanical novelties there are some never before seen in a play, notably the submarine boat traversing THEATRICAL, “Buster Brown.” WEEKLY PAPERS. the bottom of the Hudson River, upon which the hero escapes. A sumptuous production of the great play “Richelieu,” for the benefit of the Cathedral fund, week of January 14th, is an event that is attracting extraor- dinary interest. One reason for this is that Col. Robert H. Lindsay, the well- known attorney, will appear in the cast. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches.
