Is the treaty between England and Japan a peace trust or any other kind of a trust? With Ballinger as mayor and Delaney as chief of police the taxpayers and residents in general of Seattle will know where they are at. Mayor Ballinger, should he stand for reelection, could insist on nothing better for his people than that they select a first-class, honest, upright, progressive council. Engineer Thomson don't do as much talking about elevated tracks as we would like to hear. There are numerous dangerous places in the city where the tracks ought to be elevated. If you find a man about this time of year who is developing into a consummate kicker, be charitably inclined toward him—he has probably fed a lot of chickens thus far through the winter and his hens won't lay. The park board took the bond election very much to heart. Well, we cannot deny that the voters are very fickle at times. A second election will probably result in a landslide in favor of the issue of $500,000.00 in bonds. The dog men of the city, we mean the members of the former two rival kennel clubs, have fallen on each other's necks, kissed and made up, but no complaint reached the public of the canines being abused while the fight was on. Secretary Taft is making himself great and without any special effort. He is doing it by being honest and sincere, the course that the president mapped out years and years ago. Nationally, the people are beginning to admire fearlessness and honesty in its officers. The trunk line sewer that the city intends to put in in the Eastlake avenue district will open up a building boom in that part of ican the city. So long as the city has made up its mind to do the work, property owners are in hopes the work will be pushed speedily along. date inten tion muc At the Brighton Beach school a new professor was installed the first of the school year. He is making a record on new rules. One of the most ridiculous is that if a pupil leaves the room, regardless of necessity or urgency, the pupil must remain 10 minutes after the school has been dismissed. The grade on Jackson street where the Electric company crosses the old Renton line and for a short distance east and west has been raised in places and lowered in others and made quite presentable. With the first hill whacked down, Jackson will become one of the very best east and west streets in the city. Judge Wood is being groomed for mayor by the union labor party. The judge was once mayor of this city, but it was by the action of the council and not direct vote of the people. He held the office but a very short time when he resigned and went to Alaska, where he remained for several years. Should he again be chosen, the people will want some assurance that he won't skip out if a gold strike is made within 2,500 miles of this city. The labor union politicians and leaders refuse to consider George Cotterell as a candi- BLICAN date for mayor. The new party is evidently intent on unionizing Seattle as the organization has San Francisco. Our boys will be much older than they now are when they find a leader the equal of Schmitz. They have not found it yet and one great trouble will be that when they do they won't know it. With the lowest death rate of any city, an unprecedented increase of population, wealth and improvement, with Eastern railroads coming from many directions, we believe the time has come when the city should elect at least a majority of men to the council who are the best and most upright business men in the city, and especially those who are not making a fight for the office. Let us have a council that, like Pholepher's wife, who was alleged to be "above suspicion." The recent meeting of school professors and others in this city was no doubt an eye-opener to those who do not send children to school, but parents of school children were not astonished to hear that our schools and the manner of teaching are radically wrong. The educators should also have taken "a fall' on some of our school books. The country schools are also below par, and probably not near so good as the city schools for just as soon as a country teacher becomes efficient, he or she secures a position in the city, leaving the vacancy to be filled by a novice. --- APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS POLITICAL POT-PIE That spirit of political retrenchment that is becoming such a prominent feature in the Mead administration may be very nice in theory, but to a man up a tree, vulgarly speaking, it looks a good deal like straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. The governor's retrenchment in state affairs does not seem to reach beyond the fifty dollar a month men, while the big fellows, who are really running the state into debt are going right on in the even tenor of their way without being in the least disturbed. These small salary men are to be cut off and sent home notwithstanding the fact they have done their work well while the big guns are not only not to be disturbed, but are permitted to conduct their private businesses while they are paid big wages by the state for their full time. For an example Railroad Commissioner Harry Fairchild, who draws a salary from the state of $4,000 a year and expenses, which amounts to another thousand dollars per year, spends four-fifths of his time at Bellingham attending to his private law business, when he should be in Olympia every day in the year except such days he is looking after the affairs of the office and its duties in other parts of the state. Then there is John S. McMillan, another member of the railroad commission, who is living in Seattle attending to his lime business just the same as he did before he was appointed and is not in Olympia attending to state business more than to exceed three or four days in a month, if that much, who also draws his $4,000 per year and expenses. Owing to the absence of two of the commissioners almost continuously from the state house the commission is not in session but a few days in each month and things which should have been looked after months ago are laying idle awaiting their coming and yet the governor does not see fit to curtail in those men's wages and thus save the state a good many hundreds of dollars in one fell swoop. Be it said to the credit of J. C. Lawrence, the third member of the commission, he is always on hand and is giving the state value received for the wages he is drawing. If the governor, therefore, is in earnest and desires a retrenchment let him begin in a place where it will be felt. The railroad commission, as it is being operated, is not wanted by either the farmers or merchants and certainly not wanted by the railroads, and it might not be a bad suggestion for the governor would call the whole affair off. * * * Speaking about Governor Mead and his spirit of retrenchment the Pie-Maker would not be surprised if before the governor has completed his gubernatorial term he will not be more politically opposed than was Governor McBride after his eventful three-year term as governor. For after all is said and done no one will deny that McBride made just as strong friends as he did enemies and in the last state convention he showed so much strength and so many staunch friends who stood ready and verily did go to the last ditch with him that the railroad forces were almost tempted to nominate him de- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN spite their open opposition to his success prior to the convention, for it looked as though it was either nominate him or wreck the Republican party, and if McBride had not have announced that he would consider no compromise he would have been nominated at the last minute. His defeat did not quite wreck the party, but it came dangerously close to it. In order to save Mead the railroads were compelled to spend some $50,000 on his election and at that a change of 7,000 votes would have defeated him. The party was not quite wrecked but it came so very near to it and the expenditure of the vast sum of money cost J. D. Farrell, so goes the story, his job, James J. Hill not feeling satisfied about the amount of money he used in Mead's campaign. Now that Mead does not seem to be pleasing either the railroads or the antis it looks as if his prospects of becoming a political power in the state are very slim and sooner or later he and Harry Fairchild must go trotting back to Bellingham. * * * The Republican city central committee met last Saturday evening according to program and did considerable routine business. It fixed the date of the caucuses for February 14th, the primaries February 16th and the date of the convention February 21st, all of which was good. A lively scrap was indulged in by the members of the committee over the Case resolution, which asked for a large convention, in view of the fact that the corporation counsel had given an opinion that the direct primary methods could not be legally tried until the old election laws are repealed. The anti-Case resolution men won on every point and as a result a small convention will be held in the armory on the appointed day. However, there is hope that the whole proceedings will be reconsidered at the meeting next Saturday, which has been called by Chairman Case for the purpose of attending to more routine business and formulating the official call. The apportionment as fixed by the committee last Saturday will be one delegate for an average of every thirty votes cast for the six leading candidates, which will make a convention of 380 delegates. The apportionment by wards will be as follows: * * * The mayoralty situation is still in the air and while there are aspirants for the nomination they seem afraid to make the fact known to the voters and are making a still hunt for the nomination. Still hunts occasionally prove very successful, but generally the still hunter finds himself still hunting when the campaign is over. It is still being rumored that Mayor Ballinger will be the Republican candidate to succeed himself, not because he wants it, but because the leading citizens will make such a strong talk to him that he will find it next to im- FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1906 Acme Publishing Co. 214 COLUMBIA ST.

If he gives any evidence of being willing to accept no other name will be presented to the convention, but if he still insists that he cannot afford to accept it, then there will be a great scramble for the nomination as the prospects are fair for the salary to be raised to $5,000 per year. Councilman Cole is a candidate for the nomination of mayor and is doing some quiet work. If he has the backing that his friends declare that he has he will at the proper time develop into a formidable candidate. Councilman Billy Murphy is also being groomed for the nomination by a number of his friends of the north end. They opened up political headquarters more than a month ago ostensibly to boom Murphy for the nomination of mayor. It will be remembered that Murphy as a Republican is not a year old and some of the old line Republicans are demurring to him being made the head of the party, especially in the city before he has been in the party long enough to cast one vote. His friends threatened that if he is not nominated they will take their forces to the support of the municipal-labor union candidate, which would assure his election whoever he may be. That is poor talk for a man seeking such honors and if Murphy himself does not voice those sentiments then he had better begin to pray to be delivered from his damphool friends. There will be no opposition to Scott Calhoun for the nomination of corporation counsel. Aside from the fact that he is not even asking for a second term, but asking for the nomination to the office to which he was appointed a year ago, and owing to the fact that he is a member of the Young --- FRIDAY.

Men's Republican Club, one of the most powerful political organizations in the city, and owing to the fact he is not only popular with them and but likewise popular with the voters in general he will have no opposition but will be in line for greater honors in the future, as he has made good as corporation counsel for the time he has been in the office. Like Calhoun, John Ripplinger will have no opposition for city controller. No man has made a more efficient official than Ripplinger, and he will run ahead of his ticket at the polls. For city treasurer there are no dearth of candidates. There will be six from among the clerks who are now employed in the city treasurer's office, and a number of outsiders. Among the latter will be John Hanna, George N. Gilson and George M. Russell. Morrison to the Front.—"Yes, say for me that I am a candidate for the nomination for councilman from the Fifth ward," said Hon. Ellis Morrison one day this week. "I have been approached by a number of the leading citizens of the ward and requested to allow the use of my name in that connection, and in view of the fact that, Councilman Scott Benjamin will not be a candidate to succeed himself, I see no reason why I should not be a candidate. Had Mr. Benjamin been a candidate to succeed himself I would not have permitted my name under any circumstances to have been used, but after he himslf declared his intntion of not being a candidate I informed my friends that if they saw fit to use my name for the nomination I would not be averse to accepting the honor, and would do all within my power for the ward if nominated and elect- --- ELLIS MORRISON. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN * * * ed." Ellis Morrison is one of the best known public men in the city, he having previously served one term as councilman from the Fifth ward, one term as member of the legislature, during which term he was speaker of the house of representatives, was chairman of the Republican state central committee for one term and has been repeatedly spoken of in connection with the gubernatorial nomination on the Republican ticket. He is at present engaged in the real estate business and is one of the successful dirt dealers of the city. If the voters of the Fifth ward decide to return him to the council he will do for them what no new man could possibly do in the shape of legislation, and they will make a mistake if they do not nominate him in view of the fact Benjamin, their present councilman, will not be a candidate for the place. The Fifth ward will need a great deal of work done for it in the city council for the next two years, and, as said above, no new man cannot get the results that a man versed in such legislation can and for that reason the Fifth ward voters should nominate and elect Ellis Morrison. *** Jaffe is a Candidate. While there seems to be a number of candidates for councilman from the Second ward at the present time it is conceded that H. L. Jaffe shows more general strength than any of the others. When seen one day this week about his candidacy Mr. Jaffe had this to say: "I am seeking the nomination of councilman from the Second ward, because I believe I can give the ward my time if elected. If I should be so fortunate as to receive the nomination and election I will endeavor to do for the ward those things that the voters thereof think best. There are a number of improvement clubs in the ward and I will always get an expression from a majority of the members thereof and as many of the voters not members as will be possible before I take any decided steps on any public measure. My policy will be the policy of the voters that nominate and elect me." In this connection it might not be out of place to state that Henry L. Jaffe has been a resident of the Second ward since 1889, having moved to the city at that time from California, when a mere lad. He attended school in the ward and was a pupil of the Hon. John D. Atkinson, the present attorney general of this state. He is the Northern representative of the Jaffe wine growing concern of California and is considered one of the best business men in the city. Since he was fifteen he has been actively engaged in the wholesale and retail wine business which is sent from the Jaffe farms of California. He has been since its first organization a leading member of the Harmony Club, which is one of the best known clubs of this city, and owing to his general activity in business circles, if elected councilman, he will give his constituents a glowing account of his stewardship. *** Redward Wants Seventh Ward-In announcing the candidacy of J. C. Redward for the Republican nomination of councilman from the Seventh ward no stranger is being introduced to the voters thereof. Four years ago Mr. Redward received a similar nomination to that he now seeks. He was subsequently elected and for two years served well his constituents in the council and according to all Republican customs he was entitled to a re-nomination and election, but was defeated in the convention. He, however, did not nor does not believe the will of the voters were reflected by the action of the delegates of that convention who brought about his defeat, and, therefore, he believes he is quite justified at this time in appealing his case from the decision of the delegates of that convention to the people for a hearing and decision. It is said by those who had ample opportunities to critically observe his work during the two years he was in the council that he made an ideal official and did valiant service for his ward as well as for the whole city. When Mr. Redward was spoken to concerning his candidacy he said: "Yes, I am a candidate for the Republican nomination of councilman from the Seventh ward and I have been ever since I was defeated for re-nomination. I have no comments to make, only I am going to do all in my power to get a sufficient number of the delegates from the ward to think as I do on the subject, and, if I do, I am certain of the nomination. I do not know who else is a candidate and I am not keeping up with their campaigns, but I know I am a candidate, and I take this opportunity to so inform the general public. If nominated and elected I will endeavor to represent the entire ward and though elected I will not lose sight of the fact that the voters themselves should be consulted on all public improvements. I will endeavor to keep my ear to the ground and catch the sentiment of the people and will try from time to time to voice their sentiments. When I was a member of the council the needs of every nook and corner of the ward were looked after and I do not believe there is a person in the ward that can truthfully point to a single ward need in which I was derelict in looking after. I am out for the nomination and nothing but a majority of the delegates voting for another candidate will take me out of the race." * * * Thomas P. Ravelle, who some time ago announced his candidacy for councilman from the Seventh ward, takes this opportunity to again make known to the Republicans of the ward his willingness to represent the ward in the city council for the ensuing two years. The friends of Mr. Revelle declare that he is almost certain of having all of the precincts of the Seventh from Fourteenth avenue to Lake Washington, which will make him the most formidable candidate in the fight from the very outset. His friends further declare that he represents the real sentiment of the ward on the moral questions and that he will voice the sentiment of the people on all public questions. While Mr. Revelle refused to be quoted further than that he was a candidate and a candidate to the last ditch, yet he made it clear to the writer that, if elected, he would try to reflect the real sentiment of the voters of the ward. The Capitol Hill Improvement Club has already strongly endorsed his candidacy for they know his real worth as a worker, he having been a member of the club ever since its organization, and no member there- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Picture of a man with a long white beard and a dark suit, wearing a white flower on his lapel.] COUNCILMAN J. S. JOHNSTON Seeks Renomination from Second Ward. of has been more active or energetic in getting things for the district than he. He is a young and vigorous attorney at law and being a life long Republican and in a section of this country (Maryland) where it meant something to be a Republican, he is deserving of much consideration from his fellow Republicans. Mr. Revelle is well versed in the general needs of the ward, and living as he does in the eastern section, he knows full well the great needs of that section of the ward. * * * Politics led Johnny Clancy, the well known tenderloiner, to viciously attack Major Otto A. Case last Wednesday. Both of the men are members of the city central committee and represent different factions. The vicious and vulgar attack is characteristic of the man Clancy. For years he and his brother Frank have been known as the brutes of the First ward and from the recent assault on Case they seem bent on holding up their record. Case refuses to have him arrested, and in this Case makes a mistake. The sooner the man is made to feel the strong arm of the law the sooner will that brutal spirit of his be curbed. If the members of the central committee desire to put a quietus on the Clancy outlaws it will expell him from its membership at its next regular meeting. This paper is not espousing Case's cause any more so than Clancy's, if he has any, but the latter's attack on a fellow member when he was not suspecting such clearly proved that Clancy is badly tinged with the brute qualities. Its only been a few months ago when Johnny Clancy hammered the head off another well known citizen, the other fellow taking it because he had every reason to believe Clancy was heavily armed and would do him great bodily harm if he resisted. Is there no end to such brutality? Councilman Johnston—It has always been the custom of Republicans to give its officials a second term unless the official was FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1906 guilty of not making good when in office, and in view of the fact no one has accused me of not making good, but on the other hand nothing but words of commendation have been uttered for my efforts in the council by my constituents, I feel that I am justly entitled to a second nomination and election, and I believe a great majority of the voters of the Second ward believe as I do, and will give me a hearty aye, aye, sir, at the primaries and in the ward convention, if they but know I am a candidate to succeed myself, and I therefore desire for The Seattle Republican to make known the fact that I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for councilman from the Second ward," said J. S. Johnston one day this week. In speaking to a fellow member of the council about Mr. Johnston he said: "No member of that body has been more faithful than he. He has always been in his seat at regular meetings and seldom ever failed to be present at special meetings. He has faithfully attended his committee meetings and I see no reason for him not being returned to the city council by his constituents. Mr. Johnston is a true blue Republican and an active real estate man that has enabled a large number of laboring men to secure comfortable homes in that ward, all of whom show their appreciation by voluntarily offering him whatever help they can in his fight for re-election. * * * Now that the park bond will be resubmitted to the voters it is the duty of every family in the city to work for its success. These bonds will weigh so lightly on the average working man with a small amount of property that he would not be able to recognize the fact if the amount was placed on his tax certificate unless his attention was called to it. The city needs more parks, the city needs to improve the park lands it already has, and it needs play grounds and these things it can not be done unless money is voted for that purpose.Some one will have to handle the money and no one can doubt the ability of the present members of the park board of doing so and doing so with honor and economy. Vote for the bonds. * * * Have you registered yet? Old "time enough" will cause you lots of trouble and you are therefore exhorted to go today and register that you will not have to hurry during the closing days of the registration. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] J. C. REDWARD Candidate for Seventh Ward Councilman. FRIDAY. JANUARY 12. 1906 J. B. HENRY L. JAFFE For Councilman from Second Ward. NOTES For Sweet Charity.—Some twelve years ago a number of ladies living on Queen Anne hill organized into a Fortnightly Club, and as its name indicates, met every two weeks, the meetings being as regular as the rise and fall of the tides ever since its organization. Once a year an annual program is arranged and the various members are assigned to the writing of papers on historical literary and biographical subjects which are followed by general discussion. As it aims at improvement and education, much interest has always been manifested, and those familiar with the work it has accomplished say that too much cannot be said in praise of the results that have followed. The Fortnightly has had but one president, Mrs. Col. Sheafe, who has continuously served its membership since the organization of the club. *** One of the nice things the club has been doing for a number of years was to annually give a banquet to the husbands of the members and these occasions have been a great source of pleasure to all who were so fortunate as to be present. The annual dues of three dollars each enabled the club to entertain in a becoming manner. But this time the husbands were not "in it." Just before the holidays the club concluded to devote the accumulated funds to charity and committees to superintend the work were appointed. The club's money was not only all used up, but individually the contributions were liberal. At a recent meeting of the club, the oral reports of the various committees were made and the feelings of those good women can be imagined, but not described, and it is needless to say that at each succeeding Christmas, the hearts of many poor, distressed, unfortunate people will be made glad as the recipients of the charity of the Fortnightly Club. As an illustration of the thoroughness of the work of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the various committees we will only refer to the almshouse at Georgetown. A number of real old women are inmates of that institution. The names of these, their general wants and peculiar little likes and dislikes were inquired into by the committee and in arranging for their Christmas presents, the committee were thereby enabled to give to each one those things that would most please them. A family consisting of two mothers and twelve children, in destitute circumstances, was a discovery some member of the club made and just imagine the feelings of those kids and their mothers when a Fortnightly woman walked in on them with a first-class ten pound beef roast together with such other things that no doubt filled them up close to a bursting point. Surely the world is getting less selfish and much better. * * * The Times and the ex-Judge.—The Sunday Times and ex-Judge Benson are in a mixup over the municipal ownership matter and incidentally whether the official bed is getting its work in on the ex-jurist. Judge Benson in most emphatic terms declares that he is not a candidate for office and that he is advocating municipal ownership for the good of the people and the welfare of the city. We are inclined to the belief that the ex-judge is sincere, not only because he says so, but also because he has been equally consistent in other matters. Our readers will remember the time when the single tax wave swept over this vast country. It hit Judge Benson just right and he became one of the most ardent supporters of that old worn-out theory of bringing happiness to suffering humanity and entirely doing away with poverty. The ex-judge and many other single-taxers of Seattle wept when the late Gov. Rogers described the single tax theory as a fad, and said that it would wear off in about five years. Judge Benson was not only a supporter of the single tax, but extremely enthusiastic and he became so ardent in its support that his friends looked on with pity. It will be remembered that the Belgian hare fad took a death-like grip on the judge about the same time, and between the two, nearly did him up. With the judge fads seem to concentrate in pairs. His enthusiasm in support of the latter named fad was so great that he paid as high as one hundred dollars for a buck rabbit. The judge is what we generally term a very radical man and believes in a strict construction of the Biblical admonition, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might. The single tax and Belgian hare have passed out of his mind to be replaced by municipal ownership and Angora goats, and these too will sooner or later be followed by fads of more or less importance, probably Christian Science and evolution. The judge enjoys his enthusiasm in support of these fads for a time and really, we think the Times ought to be ashamed of itself to disturb his happiness. A man who is devoted to a harmless fad should be let alone for fear that he might "break out with something worse." Municipal ownership is at present only a fad and the spring election will cool the ardor of two judges, Benson and Humphries. A German doctor who prescribed some medicine for a patient told the sick man, "Bots M. THOMAS P. REVELLE Candidate for Councilman from Seventh Ward. nix so shots nix." That fits Judge Benson's case exactly and we hope the Times will let him be undisturbed.—Communicated. * * * "No greater mistake could be made than to regard Russia as a quantite negligible because her fleet has been destroyed and because of revolution within," says the Observer (London). "Without she will always be powerful; and just as France emerged from the revolution the first military power in Europe, so, too, may Russia." "Their disorderly and dirty condition," says the Zeitung (Berlin), "is the most striking feature of English warships. It is the necessity for pandering to the laziness of recruits and the consequences arising therefrom that constitute the weakness of the British fleet. It is doubtful if the thickest armor and guns of the largest caliber are any compensation." *** There can be no doubt, according to the Bengalee (Calcutta), that Japan's success may well cause grave misgivings to the white races; they have so long been under a notion that the world was created for their exclusive benefit, and that they are the sole heirs of the whole creation. The Japanese victories have, however, given a rude shock to this delusion. But there is no help for it. The white races may froth and foam, but they cannot resist the onward march of Japan. England would be wise in revising her policy in India in the light of this sudden but significant awakening of the East.

SOON aller URC CMaNCIPpavion 1 WHUSY MUCTeSl he had done much missionary work, he in- quired of one of a local leaders, if he had any word of encouragement to send to his friends of the North, who were sending money and means from time to time for the elevation of the race from the degreda- tion to which it had been dragged by the damnable institution of slavery, the old man laconiecally replied, ‘‘Thell them the Negroes are coming.’’? That they have continued “‘ecoming’’ ever since that time and at a rapid rate every fair minded man is willing to admit and nothing so clearly demon- strates that he has than the following chap- ter from the recent annual report of the Mechanies Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., all of whose officers and directors are Ne- groes as well as an overwhelming majority of its depositors. President John Mitchell says: “T shall never forget the prophecies made as to the amount of the clearings for the first year. I hardly dared predict that they would reach one hundred thousand dol- lars, although the vice-president was voeif- erous in claiming that this mark would be reached. I hoped that he was right but hoped only. The actual amount was $122,- 915.04. We were then confident that we had made a remarkable showing in a field that had been well canvassed. The second year brought our clearings up to $186,976.61. This made us jubilant as you well know, and we were hardly prepared for the third year’s showing, which was $262,537.86. “We smiled then and we laugh now for the fourth year just closed leaves our clear- ings, $519,052.88. It is a source of gratifica- tion to the officers and a well-spring of pleas- ure to you. But how have we grown? The inerease in the clearings at the end of the second year over those of the first year was $63,881.57. The increase in the clearings at the end of the third year over those of the second year was $75,741.25. The increase in the clearings at the close of the fourth year over those of the third year was $256,- 515.02. Our total bank clearings for four years are $1,091,302.39.”’ Tf the above does not read like an Arabian Nights story, in view of the fact that it is a Negro institution and in view of the fact that the Negros of that commonwealth have recently been disfranchised, then we are sadly mistaken. What a striking contrast is this report to the annual message of Gov. J. K. Vardeman to the legislature of the state of Mississippi, who prays that the legislature cease to expend money by appropriation on Negro education, for the reason that the Negro is not sufficiently human to be bene- fited thereby. Let the white friends of the North give no heed to the mouthings of such blatant mouth bovines as Vardeman, who spent the most of his life in questionable Negro quarters, but take President Mitchell’s report as the real criterion of what the Southern Negro is doing, as there are to be found a dozen or more banking institutions even more prosperous than the one herein. fees. | Igtps a Neel oe ec ieee eet eae tage eke eee THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN more than any other thing accounts for Vardeman’s hostility to the race. President Roosevelt has tackled a good many difficult problems and somehow he seems to be always right. An Eastern preach- er recently compared him to Christ. Well we won’t go that far, for Roosevelt is still a young man. Race suicide, brutal base ball and bossism are reforms that he has tackled with good effect. The reform of the judic- jary is a subject that needs his attention both state and national. A FRENCHMAN’S CELEBRATION. ‘A Frenchman has made a map of the United States, on which he shows relative political corruption to the eye. He thinks that the ‘‘new century of the strenuous life * * * has stamped ruin on American society,’’ infected said organism with decay, increased gambling and the social evil, and led the corruptionists to form ‘‘a vast or- ganization of brigandage’.’ According to the depth of the corruption he marks states black, striped, or white, and each state is exactly uniform, corruption varying only with state boundaries. The area of the black is the most considerable. It includes Minne- sota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maryland, the two Virginias, Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Nebraska, Washington, Oregon, Cali- fornia, and Utah. Somewhat lighter are Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Alabama and Florida; still lighter, North and South Da- kota, Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, Okla- homa and New Hampshire. The only whites are Colorado, Iowa, Mississippi, Michigan, Maine, Delaware and North Carolina. This ought to make cheerful reading for about seven states, especially Addicks’ little stamp- ing-ground, or Delaware. Our Gallic as- tronomer goes into figures also, deciding that 67,000,000 people out of 76,000,000 are in- FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1906. feeted with political corruption. Ana no doubt in Paris this long-distance view is read without a smile—New York Search- light. Where State Ownership Pays. In a report of the government-owned rail- roads of Australia Consul General Bray says the roads are run in such a way as to secure net earnings amounting to many millions of dollars, $19,761,646 in 1904, and more than $22,000,000 in 1905. The gross revenue of the railways of Australia (owned and. con- trolled by the governments of the various states) during the twelve months ending June 30, 1905, amounted to $56,436,837, against $53,387,210 a year ago. The working expenses in the aggregate in- creased $1,275,179, but this is after including $1,209,189 of special appropriations for re- pairs on the railways of Victoria which really belongs to previous years. Exclud- ing this amount, the Victorian working ex- penses decreased by $246,873. The net reve- nue of these railways was $19,761,646 in 1904 and $22,745,508 in 1905. Of the $3,049,618 increase in gross revenue, no less than $2,983,862 appears in the net revenue, Prospects favor a further improve- ment in the financial position of the Austral- ian railways. Railroads Promoting Industry. Luis Jackson, industrial commissioner of the Erie railroad, last week issued a cir- cular giving a complete list of the 76 new manufacturing plants established during the past year along the company’s lines. Of this number 42 have sidetracks leading di rectly to the railroad. The list does not include a number of ice houses, wholesale houses, grain elevators, cold storage plants, ete., of which 47 were located on the road during last year.

"A Fight for Millions," the play at the Third Avenue Theatre this week, is a twentieth century production. In a mechanical way it is away ahead of the times, and demonstrates the great possibilities of electricity and submarine navigation, and if the author-inventor's ideas are carried out we will have electrical connection with the planets very shortly. This must not be mistaken for frivolity. The play is a good one and is well played and well worth seeing, if it is somewhat ahead of the times. Next week, starting Sunday afternoon, the great classical drama, "Richelieu," will be presented at the Third Avenue Theatre for the benefit on the new Cathedral. The play is one of the best that is now or ever has been offered for public favor. It will be given a good production by a company specially brought together for this occasion. Col. Robert H. Lindsay, the well-known attorney, who was at one time a professional actor, has volunteered to appear in the cast, and there are several others who have never been seen in Seattle and who are known to the stage as legitimate actors of ability. The play itself is deserving of patronage and given for the laudable purpose of helping build the new Cathedral. It is worthy of some sacrifice. WATSON'S ORIENTALS. W. B. Watson presents the above high class extravaganza company, Musical Medley IMMENSE VARIETY AT D. S. JOHNSTON'S The variety of musical instruments at the D. S. Johnston Co.'s store is simply bewildering. Starting with a magnificent pipe organ (two manuals), there is everything down to a flageolet, and scores of new inventions in between. The list of pianos alone is remarkable. There are the magnificent Chickering, the Kimball, the Hobart M. Cable, the Haddorf, the Pease, the D. S. Johnston Co.'s Special and many others. There is the world famous Pianola, with the Metrostyle—the Orchestrelle and the wonderful Pianola Pianos—the player being put INSIDE the case of the piano. There's the Regina Concerto, which, for a nickel, produces a world of beautiful music. The Reliable Self-Playing Piano. Both of these are well suited for cafes and public buildings of every sort. And there's a wealth of Violins, Guitars, Mandolins, etc. Besides the wonderful Edison Phonograph, which enables you to record your own voice or that of your friends—and countless records. Visitors are cordially welcome to this Temple of Modern Music. D. S. JOHNSTON CO. 903 Second Ave. Burke Buldg. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN equipped with the best talent of the vaudeville and burlesque stage, with new music, scenery and twenty pretty chorus girls, at the Seattle all next week. The vaudeville portion of the company is composed of high class artists. The Yamamoto brothers, Japanese equilibrists; Swan and Bambard, comiques; Eccentric Johnnie Carroll, the man you all know; Elsa Leslie, the English cantatrice; Harry Montague, the well-known author; Beatrice Harlow. The curtain raiser is described as a very successful laugh producer, and is built on the lines that made the late Chas. Hoyt's farces so popular. In the cast are five comedians, the soubrette, the comedy old man and woman, and the usual chorus who flit in and out without much regard to the plot, but to the enhancement of the occasion. Every style of entertainment known to the burlesque world is presented, and the program that will be presented will be diversified enough to please the most fastidious. "Miss Clover" and "The Bashful Venus" are the two extravaganzas that will be offered, replete with comedy, musical ensembles, etc., with appropriate scenic and electric effects, making a complete production. "The College Widow," which comes to the Grand Sunday night, is said to be without a dull or irrelevant moment. Satirizing, as it does, life in an inland college town, its humor is not merely local, but of that broad, understandable sort that appears generally. It is a continuous laugh from curtain to curtain, and its pronounced New York and Chicago hit has been signally approved on its tour of other cities. Henry W. Savage has given this comedy masterpiece of George Ade the benefit of carefully selected players, the company including Dorothy Tennant, Adeline Dunlap, Katherine Nugent, Lida McMillan, Elsa Payne, Mildred St. Pierre, Frederick Truesdell, Neil Moran, Walter Walker, Daniel Baker, George Ober, Raymond Chase, Edgar Halstead, Lawrence Wheat, Hale Norcross, Otis Turner, Ernest B. Carr and a score of others. Calve and her splendid company will give their only concert in Western Washington at the Grand next Friday morning, and a packed house is assured the great diva. Mme. Emma Calve is a rich woman and only sings for the love of it. Many years have passed since she has had to seek an engagement from necessity of earning a living. Beside owning the old baronial castle Cabrioros, near Aveyron, France, she is a heavy operator in Paris real estate. She has deeds to several private houses and hotels in Paris and Monte Carlo. It is declared that few realty brokers are better appraisers of property than the great prima donna. Her elevator flats in Monte Carlo are mostly occupied by American families.
