Harper died medical science lost a great battle. Had he recovered the ravages of the fatal cancer would have been completely checkmated. When Judge Thomas H. Paynter was elected United States senator from Kentucky the South again placed a premium on border outlawry, as he was the judge that heard the mock trial of the accused slayers of one alleged Governor Goebel. Of course Senators Ankeny and Piles got good committee places because their wishes were championed by Senator Spooner, an N. P. representative in the Senate. Spooner knows that they will vote right on all railroad measures. A few Negroes in the East are greatly exercised because it is reported that Hon. Harry W. Furniss, minister to Hayti, some time ago married a Spanish lady and the ground for their mind disturbance is because Mr. Furniss did not marry a "colored woman." Well, if a Spaniard is not colored then he or she is born that way. But what gave them the right to say to Furniss or any one else whom they should marry? Senator Reed Smoot, the Utah polygamist, defies the W. C. T. U. and invites them to do their worst in unseating him. Evidently some one at Washington City has given Brother Smoot a tip that his vote will be needed either for or against the rate regulation bill and if he votes right he won't have to go. The devil himself would be acceptable or tolerated by the railroad senators if he would only vote so as to serve their political masters. The Seattle city estimates for 1906 include $30,000 for the construction of a municipal garbage crematory. No definite plans have yet been suggested or adopted, but City Engineer Thomson suggestively remarks that it will be patterned after a disposal plant operated in Europe. A plot of ground, near the shores of Lake Union, has already been selected for the location of this public utility. ```markdown ``` SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1906 IRVING Candidat POLITICAL POT-PIE If the Democrats, the labor unions and the Municipal advocates are not playing a foxy grandpa game on the Republicans then the Pie-maker misses his guess. They have caused the news to be spread throughout the political circles of the city that they would not fuse, but would all go it alone in order to throw the Republicans off their guard, when every indication points to them endorsing and supporting one man at the election for the principal offices. The combination hopes the Republicans will nominate a candidate for mayor that will be weak with the people and then it will nominate or endorse some man whom they believe will by the united efforts of the anti-Republican votes defeat the entire ticket. Scott Calhoun was correct in saying to the central committee that plenty of time should be allowed for a thorough campaign as he scented danger ahead for the party unless they have time sufficient to answer the arguments advanced by the Democrats and their sympathizers. Mayor R. A. Ballinger cleared the political atmosphere completely last Tuesday morning when he addressed a letter to the Post-Intelligencer, in which he declared, under no circumstances would he be a candidate for renomination. The appearance of the letter in public print was the signal for the other aspirants for the nomination of mayor to get busy and the very same day Irving --- BLICAN 1906 PRICE FIVE CENTS COLE or Mayor T. Cole opened up political headquarters in the Butler hotel. The friends of John F. Miller as did the friends and advocates of Billy Murphy, the political wonder of the Ninth ward, also began political fence building. As matters now stand a pretty three cornered fight is in progress between the men mentioned above while a dark horse candidate is looking on ready to spring into the arena at an opportune moment when the three have so completely blocked each other's efforts of being nominated that neither will be able to move and a compromise candidate will be the only solution of the embroglio. Cole will doubtless go into the convention with more delegates than any other candidate, Murphy will be a close second, while Miller will go into the convention with a number of determined followers, who will dead lock the convention rather than see him defeated. It is claimed that he is receiving the tacit support of Mayor Ballinger and is the Piles candidate. This, however, is not very generally believed and Mr. Miller vigorously deny both of the stories. That it will be fatal for Senator Piles to take any part in the candidacy of either of the aspirants past experience of other senators demonstrate and it if he is not he had better hands off. The Municipal League and the Labor Union party meet tomorrow (Saturday) to make the first nominations for mayor and other officials of Seattle to be voted for at the next regular election. It looks now as though Mathew Dow, a well known contractor and builder, will be nominated without opposition. If subsequently the Demo- --- IRVING T.

Peoples is now a full-fledged policeman, He is the first of his race for fourteen years that has served on the police force in this city. The many friends of Spencer Smith, who for many years lived in Seattle, will regret to learn that he died of typhoid fever after only a few days illness in North Yakima a couple of weeks ago. Rey. S, J. Collins, who held his first quarterly conference of the year at Lee’s Chapel of the A. M. E. Church of this city, spent a few days the first of the week in the city shaking hands with old friends and acquaint- ances. Mr. Collins some years ago was a resident of this city and stood very high among the most substantial citizens. In order to vote it is necessary for you to register. The charter makes it obligatory to register every year if you want to vote. The election is coming and if you wish to exercise the right of suffrage you should run up to the city hall and register. You can do the job in less than ten minutes and then it will be over and you will not stand a show of having losing your vote for not having registered. Do it now. Through a communication to an Eastern paper inviting Negro emi- grants to Arizona, it was learned that Con A. Rideout, who for many years was a practicing attorney in this city is now living in Tucson. Rideout, it will be remembered, went to Africa with his wife and step daughter, but he deserted the wife and eloped with the daughter. Mrs. Rideout returned to Seattle and later sued and obtained a divorce from her heartless spouse. She subsequently married a Mr. Pur- ness and they have moved to California. Rideout and the daughter later also returned to America, and for a while lived in New York, then they moved to Chicago and then to Arizona. It is not known whether he has as yet deserted the daughter or not. Mr. J. W. McConnaughey, ex-county treasurer of King county, who served in that capacity for four years, but who is now farming in Yakima coun- ty, spent the most of the week in the city visiting with old friends and po- litical assocites. “Our climate is al- most as pleasant in the part of Yakima cn Oy ae A aa deg a ee Musical Medley IMMENSE VARIETY AT D.

Starting with a magnifi- cent 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 beauti- ful music.’ The Reliable Self-Playing Piano. Both of these are well suited for cates and public buildings of every sort.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN county in which I live as your Seattle climate, and I think I enjoy it even better. I am raising potatoes and su- gar beets and occasionally I raise a “dead beet” with the toe of my boot. I think I have splendid prospects ahead and even the frenzied specula- tion in Seattle tide lands does not move me to return to Seattle to get into the push. “There was altogether too much tide land talk in Seattle for me to stay in Ravensdale, and so I came down to get in the push,” came from Dr. C. E. Hoye, who for four years served as county coroner, I slid down this morning and at once got rid of a piece of tide land that I had been holding for a good while, and I think I can now return to my home and be happy for a while at least. Dr. Hoye has charge of the hospital at Ravens- dale and is doing exceedingly well. However, it is reported that he has an eye on the job of sheriff and may make an effort to get the nomination at the expiration of Lou Smith’s four years. Louis James, the eminent tragedian, will open at the Grand Sunday night in “Richelieu”, presenting on Monday and Wednesday nights “Virginius”, Tuesday night “Merchant of Venice” and Wednesday matinee “Ingomar.” “Virginius” has many commendable attributes—it appeals to the lover, the soldier, the patriot, and the child with equal force, for its many component virtues are evidenced with such pro- found sincerity that the auditor be- comes in harmonious, sympathetic touch with the events that are reacted before him. A new Shylock will be offered us by Mr, James. Not the typical Jew of tradition, but an exalted personage who by circumstances has been ad- judged guilty ofan offense, that to- day would be considered clever finan- ceering. His Jew is said to be not the black-hearted Rialto usurer of tradi- tion, but a humane man, loyal to his race, devoted to his daughter, and fatherlike, revengeful at the wrong done her—his Shylock will be watched with interest. MINER’S “AMERICANS.” The engagement of Miner’s “Amer- icans” will commence at the Seattle Sunday. One of the catchiest vaude- ville bills will be presented that has ever been seen in a long time. A very clever musical farce in two acts en- titled “A Yankee Doodle Gjirl” by Barney Gerard is presented, which gives plenty of scope to the comedians and principal ladies. Everything that is new and up-to-date has been incor- porated in the performance this sea- son. The olio contains only acts of rec- ognized ability; those who appear in this portion of the bill are Fisher and Clarke, eccentric comedy sketch art- ists; Joe Goodwin, the Boy Monolo- guist; May Butler, the Female Bari- tone; and as an added feature, the phenomenal and sensational melodra- matic moving picture, “The River Pi- rate.” The American Trio, Betts-Rey- nolds-Fox, and the Breakaway Bar- lows. The Roscian Opera Company will open a short season of comic opera at standard prices at the Grand Fri- day, January 26. The opening bills will be “El Capitan” and “The Mi- kado.” Lucia Nola, the prima donna soprano with the Roscian’s, has the endorsement of Schumann Heink as LOUIS JAMES. an artist of the front rank. Her work with that famous singer under the management of Fred Whitney was, it is said, particularly effective, and in “El Capitan” the part of Isabel will give her exceptional opportunity for the display of that marvelous voice with which she is credited, THIRD AVENUE THEATRE. E. J. Carpenter’s offering of Hal Reid’s masterpiece, “At Cripple Creek” is booked for an engagement at the Third Avenue Theatre nevt week, opening Sunday afternoon. This play deals with life in the Rocky Moun- tains and the characters include min- ers, Indians, half breeds and hardy Westerners, with novelty in the way of a girl from the New England States. Several types, new to the stage, are introduced and clever character draw- ing is said to contribute one of the most commendable features of the play. The first act takes place in the saloon of Martin Mason, called the “Temple of David.” Act second shows Joe Mayfield’s cabin at Rift Canyon. In act third the scene discloses the interior of a mine known as the “Last Dollar” claim. Here occurs one of the most novel and effective scenes that has been put into a recent play. The fourth and last act is laid in Joe’s new home at Cripple Creek upon the occasion of his marriage. “At Crip- ple Creek” is climatically built and full of tender heart interest balanced by flashes of brilliant humor and quaint comedy. The company employ- ed to exploit this piece has been se- lected with the utmost care, and each member of the cast is peculiarly fit- ted for his or her part.

Should Murphy be nominated the odds of Dow being elected would be some three to one. If again the Republicans take a radical stand against municipal ownership in their platform Dow will come pretty nearly beating any one the Republicans may nominate. The Pie-maker, therefore, advises making haste slowly in the matter of platform and further advises the Republican platform makers to come boldly out for municipal ownership as the people want that particular reform and will not be content without an effort put forth to get it. The political talk that Clark M. Nettleton is seeking the nomination of mayor on the Republican ticket is without foundation so far as Mr. Nettleton is concerned. He does not want it and will not turn his hands over to get it, but like all good American citizens, if the nomination is brought to him on a silver platter, it is not recorded that he would throw it to the winds. It must be remembered that Mr. Nettleton is a member of the civil service board of this city and if the charter means what it says he is ineligible to hold the office of mayor. This has been threshed over in the past and it seems child play to go all over it again. Colonel Buster Blethen has begun the publication of a lot of fabrications about municipal ownership in case it succeeds, equally as absurd as the fabrications he published in his paper in 1896 when McKinley was a candidate for the presidency in case he succeed. Those of us who were in Seattle at that time and read the Times remember that Col. Buster Blethen declared in black face type that, if McKinley won in that contest the American people would be reduced to political slavery and McKinley would be declared absolute dictator of the country in three months after he was elected. That the old man was shooting off his mouth without any facts to warrant his wild statements all of us verily believed at the time and of course know it now. The Seattle Republican after reading the rot published in the Times from time to time in the last state campaign felt called upon to editorially declare, "Saw it in the Times? Damn lie." The language, it must be admitted, is rather rough, but it was the naked fact. It has already begun to publish rawhide and bloody bones stories about municipal ownership in case it succeeds in Seattle in electing a ticket at the next election, all of which is as monstrous political lies as those it published about McKinley in 1896, about Frink in 1900 and those it published about Mead in 1904. If the opposers of the municipal ownership idea hope to defeat it in the coming election they had better call Blethen off or it will go through by an overwhelming majority. Blethen and the Times have lost every political fight they have made in Seattle and they will lose the municipal ownership fight. Frank P. Mullen will not be a candidate for the seventh ward nomination for councilman, but will accept the nomination for councilman at large if tendered him. He THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN will make no fight for that, however, but if the voters want him and hand him the nomination he will willingly accept the same and thank them for it. Two other names have been mentioned in connection with the nomination for councilman at large. H. P. Rude it is said will endeavor to succeed himself for the nomination and election of councilman at large. He believes that Mullen will be unanimously nominated and he wishes to be his running mate. Henry Beck of the Sixth ward is a receptive candidate at this time for Rude's place and before another week may become an active candidate. Beck is a splendid politician and stands A1 all over the city. It is believed by a great many politicians that he will give Rude a good run for his money. "I am a candidate for the Republican nomination of corporation counsel and if nominated and elected I will endeavor to give the taxpayers a straightforward businesslike administration,' was the brief statement of Scott Calhoum, the present corporation counsel, whose portrait accompanies this notice. He was elected to the office he now holds by the city council less than a year ago, when Corporation Counsel Mitchell Gilliam was appointed a superior court judge by Governor Mead to fill the vacancy created by the legislature, and during the time he has been in office he has made a most admirable official and the affairs of his office have been conducted with such brevity and object as to give entire satisfaction to each and every one. Scott Calhoum was practically born and raised in and about Seattle. He has seen it grow from a mere village to a great city and he has not done a great deal seeing at that. He is the son of a distinguished Puget Sound pioneer and he is following from a good citizen standpoint in the footsteps of his father. He is a member of the Young Men's Republican Club of this city and is one of the acknowledged leaders thereof. The members of the club have frequently mentioned his name in connection with a congressional nomination and it is verily believed that, if for any reason Congressman Humphrey would not be a candidate to succeed himself, Scott Calhoum would be the almost unanimous choice of King county as his successor, but great bodies move slowly and therefore Mr. Calhoum will abide his time to aspire for greater political honors and will be ever grateful to the Republicans in convention assembled for the unanimous nomination which he is now seeking and which he feels practically certain of getting, and in view of the fact that a nomination is equal to election in Seattle, his friends have already begun to congratulate him over his very flattering political future both in municipal as well as National affairs. The Republican wishes to add just one word to the high certificate of character that has been given Mr. Calhoum, he is the same Scott Calhoum in office as he was out of office and any man of that caliber will always get there when he appeals his case to the people.

JOHN RIPLINGER Candidate for City Comptroller the present city comptroller. Mr. Riplinger has been repeatedly solicited by admiring friends to allow them to push his name for the nomination of mayor before the next municipal convention, but he has steadily refused and adding, "I am a candidate to succeed myself and ask nothing more of my friends and constituents." When seen one day this week by The Seattle Republican he again said: "Say for me that I am a candidate for city comptroller to succeed myself, only this and nothing more, and will be very thankful to my friends and constituents if they will favor me with the honor." Enough said. While many of the voters would be glad to have been permitted to have thrown off their coats and worked for his nomination for mayor, if comptroller is what he wants, The Seattle Republican will guarantee him at this time that he will not only be nominated, but will guarantee him that no other name but his will be presented to the next city convention for that nomination. In other words, he will get the same without a dissenting vote and no greater tribute could be paid an official, who has already served one term than for his constituents to place such confidence in him as to renominate him without a dissenting vote. Political friends and foes one and alike speak well of Riplinger and all because he conducts his office on business principles and every one having business therein is made to feel perfectly at home regardless of his political affiliations, his nationality or his religious beliefs. Would that there were more such men who aspire to political offices and if there were, there would be fewer public scandals for the yellow journals to write scare head lines over their peculations. Candidate for City Treasurer.—"Owing to my long experience in official duties such as are incumbent on a man elected to the office of city treasurer, I feel peculiarly fitted to fill such a place and I therefore THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN take this opportunity to announce my intention of standing for the Republican nomination for city treasurer," said George H. Appleton one day this week. For three years Mr. Appleton was cashier in the county treasurer's office under J. W. McConnaughey. For the past two years he has acted as one of the assistant city treasurers under Sam F. Rathbun and in both cases his work has given perfect satisfaction, and if nominated and elected to the position of city treasurer no one who supported him will have reasons to regret it. Dr. Crichton is a Candidate.—"Yes, I am a candidate for renomination for councilman from the Eighth ward subject to the Republican city convention, and if nominated and elected again I will continue to put forward my best efforts for my ward in particular and for the city in general. I have nothing new to promise and my past efforts in the council perfectly reflects my future efforts in that body," said Dr. J. E. Crichton one day this week. It was reported a few days ago that Dr. Crichton would have some opposition for the nomination in the next convention, but search as diligently as we could no such opposition could be run down. Why should a man who has served his constituents as faithfully as has Dr. Crichton have any opposition? If it is honesty of purpose that the electors want in their representatives they certainly have it in the fullest extent in Dr. Crichton, and if it is a man that does things among his fellow representatives then in Dr. Crichton the electors have their ideal man. Opposing a candidate on the part of another simply because such candidate has been repeatedly nominated and elected for the same place is puerile. It is the man who has had the actual experience that accomplishes the most for his constituents in representative bodies, and no better illustration could be cited than the success that Dr. Crichton has G. H. APPLETON Candidate for City Treasurer [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit with a tie. The background is a solid black oval.] SCOTT CALHOUN Candidate for Corporation Counsel had in the council in getting things for his ward. Cole Wants to be Mayor.—"Had Mayor Ballinger decided himself to have been a candidate for a renomination I would not have allowed the use of my name in connection with the mayoralty nomination, but when he publicly announced that under no circumstances would he be a candidate I consented to the importunities of my friends and informed them that if they saw fit to push my candidacy I would not object to it, and if nominated and elected I would endeavor to give the city a clean administration. I am in hearty accord with the Ballinger administration and should I be so fortunate to be elected mayor of this city I would endeavor to so conduct the affairs of the office that at the close of my term I would have made friends instead of enemies. My policy, if elected, will be the policy of my party, for I consider no candidate or official greater than the party that created him," said Hon. Irving T. Cole one day this week. Irving T. Cole has been a prominent as well as conspicuous political figure in the councils of the Republican party of this city for the past ten years or more. Four years ago he was elected to the house of representatives of the Seventh legislature of this state and made a very brilliant record as a legislator. Two years ago he was elected a member of the city council and the record he has made as a member of the council has been a most flattering one. His success, therefore, in the positions of public trust he has already filled is a splendid reflection of his success in a more exalted public position. He is one of the heavy taxpayers of the city and therefore has the financial welfare of the city at heart. It is the concensus of opinion among those with whom the writer has conversed as to his candidacy that no better man for the place could be found. He has property interests enough in the city to be ever on the alert for the city's best good. He has sufficient property and means to not be dependent on the salary for a sustenance, both of which are important essentials in the selecting of a candidate for mayor of a city like unto Greater Seattle. crats endorse him it matters not whom the Republicans nominate, Dow will give him a hard tussel for the election.

JOHN RIPLINGER Candidate for City Comptroller the present city comptroller. Mr. Riplinger has been repeatedly solicited by admiring friends to allow them to push his name for the nomination of mayor before the next municipal convention, but he has steadily refused and adding, "I am a candidate to succeed myself and ask nothing more of my friends and constituents." When seen one day this week by The Seattle Republican he again said: "Say for me that I am a candidate for city comptroller to succeed myself, only this and nothing more, and will be very thankful to my friends and constituents if they will favor me with the honor." Enough said. While many of the voters would be glad to have been permitted to have thrown off their coats and worked for his nomination for mayor, if comptroller is what he wants, The Seattle Republican will guarantee him at this time that he will not only be nominated, but will guarantee him that no other name but his will be presented to the next city convention for that nomination. In other words, he will get the same without a dissenting vote and no greater tribute could be paid an official, who has already served one term than for his constituents to place such confidence in him as to renominate him without a dissenting vote. Political friends and foes one and alike speak well of Riplinger and all because he conducts his office on business principles and every one having business therein is made to feel perfectly at home regardless of his political affiliations, his nationality or his religious beliefs. Would that there were more such men who aspire to political offices and if there were, there would be fewer public scandals for the yellow journals to write scare head lines over their peculations. Candidate for City Treasurer.—"Owing to my long experience in official duties such as are incumbent on a man elected to the office of city treasurer, I feel peculiarly fitted to fill such a place and I therefore THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN take this opportunity to announce my intention of standing for the Republican nomination for city treasurer," said George H. Appleton one day this week. For three years Mr. Appleton was cashier in the county treasurer's office under J. W. McConnaughey. For the past two years he has acted as one of the assistant city treasurers under Sam F. Rathbun and in both cases his work has given perfect satisfaction, and if nominated and elected to the position of city treasurer no one who supported him will have reasons to regret it. Dr. Crichton is a Candidate.—"Yes, I am a candidate for renomination for councilman from the Eighth ward subject to the Republican city convention, and if nominated and elected again I will continue to put forward my best efforts for my ward in particular and for the city in general. I have nothing new to promise and my past efforts in the council perfectly reflects my future efforts in that body," said Dr. J. E. Crichton one day this week. It was reported a few days ago that Dr. Crichton would have some opposition for the nomination in the next convention, but search as diligently as we could no such opposition could be run down. Why should a man who has served his constituents as faithfully as has Dr. Crichton have any opposition? If it is honesty of purpose that the electors want in their representatives they certainly have it in the fullest extent in Dr. Crichton, and if it is a man that does things among his fellow representatives then in Dr. Crichton the electors have their ideal man. Opposing a candidate on the part of another simply because such candidate has been repeatedly nominated and elected for the same place is puerile. It is the man who has had the actual experience that accomplishes the most for his constituents in representative bodies, and no better illustration could be cited than the success that Dr. Crichton has [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit. The background is a plain, light color. The man is facing slightly to the right.] G. H. APPLETON Candidate for City Treasurer [Name not visible] SCOTT CALHOUN Candidate for Corporation Counsel had in the council in getting things for his ward. Cole Wants to be Mayor.—"Had Mayor Ballinger decided himself to have been a candidate for a renomination I would not have allowed the use of my name in connection with the mayoralty nomination, but when he publicly announced that under no circumstances would he be a candidate I consented to the importunities of my friends and informed them that if they saw fit to push my candidacy I would not object to it, and if nominated and elected I would endeavor to give the city a clean administration. I am in hearty accord with the Ballinger administration and should I be so fortunate to be elected mayor of this city I would endeavor to so conduct the affairs of the office that at the close of my term I would have made friends instead of enemies. My policy, if elected, will be the policy of my party, for I consider no candidate or official greater than the party that created him," said Hon. Irving T. Cole one day this week. Irving T. Cole has been a prominent as well as conspicuous political figure in the councils of the Republican party of this city for the past ten years or more. Four years ago he was elected to the house of representatives of the Seventh legislature of this state and made a very brilliant record as a legislator. Two years ago he was elected a member of the city council and the record he has made as a member of the council has been a most flattering one. His success, therefore, in the positions of public trust he has already filled is a splendid reflection of his success in a more exalted public position. He is one of the heavy taxpayers of the city and therefore has the financial welfare of the city at heart. It is the concensus of opinion among those with whom the writer has conversed as to his candidacy that no better man for the place could be found. He has property interests enough in the city to be ever on the alert for the city's best good. He has sufficient property and means to not be dependent on the salary for a sustenance, both of which are important essentials in the selecting of a candidate for mayor of a city like unto Greater Seattle. Chief of Police Thomas R. Delaney may be a Democrat in politics, but it remained for him to be the first public man in Seattle to completely overlook the nationality of a man in naming new men for police duties and from the civil service list take therefrom the names of the men making the highest mark in the examination and assign them to duty without regard to race, color or conditions. Some months ago J. S. Peoples, a worthy young Negro of this city, took the civil service examination for police duties, and be it said to his credit, he stood at the head of the list of certified eligibles from the civil service board. The racial friends of the man thought he was wasting his time, believing the chief would always overlook his name even though it was at the head of the eligible list, but they did not know Tom Delaney, for he is neither a moral nor a public coward. "He is a man," using the words of Collector of Customs Ide, "that will die in endeavoring to do his duty." Peoples' name stood at the head of the eligible list and he therefore was the first man to be named by the chief for duty, though nine others were named at the same time. Peoples will be the first man of his nationality that has been regularly appointed to police duties in this city and it is here predicted that he will take his official cue from his chief and do his duty or die in trying to do it. Years ago Ike Evans, a Negro, was made turnkey at the city hall, but he did not hold the job very long, as the other policemen entered into a conspiracy to cause him to lose his position and they were eminently successful. They succeeded, however, because the chief of the police himself was not averse to it, but no such didoes as that will be attempted on Officer Peoples and simply because Chief Delaney will relieve the first man that starts it of his police authority. Now let the heathen from Missouri rage and the fellow, who at the time Sam Thorn passed examination, predicted that if put on duty Thorn would not last on the force a week, attempt to play his hand at this time and it will be he instead of the other fellow that will walk the gang plank. The tide land excitement in Seattle for the past two weeks has perhaps exceeded anything in the way of real estate transfers in the history of the Pacific Coast and most assuredly anything in the history of the Puget Sound country. Men who a few days prior did not think themselves worth scarcely anything, though they well knew they owned some tide lands, realized in a few days that they were worth thousands and thousands of dollars, more money than they had ever hoped to have, let alone expected to have. The man who had a small chunk of tide lands and disposed of it within the past two weeks is as well fixed as was Tom Lippy, who spent four or five years in the bowels of the earth in frozen Alaska getting down to bed rock in his mine that he could pan out the gold, and he realized it all while he was sleeping and at a time when he was least expecting it. Nothing is more indicative of the fact that Seattle will be a great city than the fabulous prices that are constantly being paid for Seattle real estate. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a mustache.] DR. J. E. CRICHTON Candidate for Councilman from Seventh Ward Fourteen years ago persons coming to the city declared that real estate was too high and that it was bound to come down, but it has gone up some every year since that time and it is still going up and the fellow who wants a piece of Seattle dirt had better get it now or he will have to be a millionaire in order to get in gun shot of the purchase price of a business lot. The general public was greatly pleased when it was announced a few weeks ago that Andrew Hemrich and his brothers had bought Ed Sweeney's interest in the Seattle Brewing & Malting Company and Sweeney would retire from the business. While Sweeney has made a fortune out of the business since he has been in Seattle nevertheless it was more bull head luck than business ability. He is a man who seems to want to impress you as he passes by that, you must fall on your face until the Mighty of Mighty is gone. The various brewing companies would never have had one tenth of the trouble they did had it not been for Sweeney. He boasted that the breweries would never recede from the stand they took against the unions, but he it was that crawfished and accepted every unreasonable term the strikers demanded. It was the trouble that Sweeney got the brewers in that prompted Andrew Hemrich to make preparations to take over his interest at any cost in order to get rid of the man. All of the Hemrichs are splendid business men and make friends among all classes, while Sweeney made friends with no one. It is now reported that Sweeney will start an independent brewery in the near future, and if he does it is the prediction of The Seattle Republican that he will be down and out before two years have gone by. The public of this day and age no longer does business with men who always want to make everybody feel as though he was the whole show. For the past few years the Seattle Lighting Company has been furnishing gas to the county to light the court house, which has - FRIDAY. JANUARY 19. 1906. cost the taxpayers the round sum of $250.00 per month. The county commissioners came to the conclusion that the county was being robed by the gas company and they began at once to cast about for other bids and an electric company agreed to light the court house for $100.00 per month, making a net saving of $150.00 per month to the county. The City Lighting plant has not as yet bid on it and when it does the commissionrs are of the opinion that that $100.00 per month bid will yet be reduced, but if it is not, in one fell swoop the commissioners will save the taxpayers $1,500.00 per year on the court house lighting bill. There will still be another saving for every year since gas has been used in the court house, the whole building had to be gone over with a coat of tint which added another $500.00 to the lighting bill because the gas smoked up the building so badly. This is a sample of gas using in Seattle, Mr. New Home Builder, and you should govern yourself accordingly. A number of men started out a few weeks ago to canvass for a patent gas burner and it is said by those who tried the article that it is a splendid thing, but they found so few persons using gas that they threw up the job in utter disgust. "I was canvassing in the very best part of the city," said one of the men, "and to my surprise I did not find one home in twenty using gas and those I did find the owners declared they intended to have the gas taken out just as soon as the city strung its lighting wires by their homes. I never saw a city that used as little gas in homes as this and so I began to make inquiries of why so many of them were cutting out gas for illumination since it made such bright lights and I was informed that it was due to the fact that a few months' use of gas in the home was sufficient to do $300.00 worth of damage to the paper on the walls and to the other furniture. Then again the men who read the meters are not particular whether they see the meters or not in making up their monthly consumption of gas the home burned. The gas company seemed to figure out the amount of gas each home was expected to use and they charged you accordingly and when the meters were properly read, if that ever happened, the sterilized air had done more running the meter than the gas consumed. It seemed to be the worst game of graft that a householder ever ran up against and I did not care to try to sell an economical gas consumer when the consumer was burning sterilized air instead of gas. When the pipes were full of that air the pressure would break a tin mantle, to say nothing of the delicate article used for mantles." THE RICHMOND GAS WORKS The Arena (Boston, December), referring to the profitable operation of the Richmond, Va., gasworks under municipal auspices, as noted on page 177 of The Municipal Journal and Engineer for September last, observes in it "another illustration of the wisdom and practicability of the people owning and operating their own utilities. The municipal plant was established in 1867. During the generation that elapsed from 1867 to 1897 the operation shows an actual surplus of $1,532,930 to the credit of the people. If it had been in the hands of a FRIDAY, JANUARY 19, 1906. private corporation such as have exploited the people of New York, Boston and other American municipalities, the people would have paid extortionate prices for their gas, with the result that besides having been robbed for an inferior commodity, the city would have received no returns, while a few men would have acquired millions of dollars, a small portion of which would in all probability have been used to subsidize a corrupt political machine and to influence the press to discourse on the blessings of private ownership and the perils of a city enriching itself by the legitimate fruits of its enormously valuable public franchises." HUMPHRIES HITS HARD. John E. Humphries read the communication in this paper last week wherein it was claimed that municipal ownership was a fad, and that he would be cured of his views in the matter after the next election. He says he is somewhat astonished at the claim of the correspondent. The corerspondent evidently has never heard of Seattle's water system and electric light plant, and much less has he heard of the large tract of land owned by the city of Seattle for a city cemetery. He has never read the article in Everybody's Magazine for January, 1906, by Charles Edward Russell, under the head of "The Soldiers of the Common Good" wherein it is shown that 100 American cities are buzing with inconclusive discussions of municipal ownership. Municipally owned street railways alone in Great Britain pay an annual profit of $3,823,865. He has failed to see that in Leeds, a city of 446,000 inhabitants, the street car lines have been for 10 years owned and operated by the municipality, and so well that on a capital investment of $5,000,000, the annual gross profit is $355,000, of which $250,000 goes to the reduction of taxation; Sheffield, with 425,000 population, pays $125,000 a year; Salford, with 300,000 population, $25,000; Glasgow, Scotland, pays more than $1,000,000 a year, and among its achievements last year was the carrying of 57,000,000 passengers at a one cent fare. For 30 cities, there has been a net profit of $3,823,865, and $1,090,200 has been contributed to taxation. From the municipal gas plant, Belfast turned over to the reduction of taxation $100,000; Leeds, $150,000; Salford, $100,000; Rochdale, $65,000; Nottingham, $100,000; Southport, $56,000; St. Helens, $25,000; Manchester, $300,000. Of the cities owning their own electric light plants, 30 of them, as set out on page 50 of said magazine, made a clear profit of $1,351,000. Glasgow, from her telephone system, turned over a net profit of $102,000. I do not believe any disinterested person can, at this age of the world, sit down and favor private ownership of public utilities. Whatever profit is to be made, should belong to the public. Under the theory of Thomas A. Edison, electricity will soon be furnished at nominal cost sufficient for lighting purposes, heating purposes and power purposes. By the direct process, the cheap electricity can be applied to the propulsion of street cars, cooking purposes, and will cheapen housekeeping, heating purposes and in fact have every use that electricity can be applied. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN FIFTEEN REASONS WHY. Professor Frank Parsons, of Boston, well known as an authority on social-economic questions, has recently formulated fifteen reasons why public utilities should be owned and operated by the people, laying particular stress upon the gain in economy of production which he believes to be inherent to public ownership. These reasons are: "1. A public plant does not have to pay dividends on watered stock. "2. It does not have to pay dividends even on the actual investment. "3. It does not have to retain lobbyists, or provide for the entertainment of councilmen or legislators or subscribe to campaign funds, or bear the expenses of pushing the nomination and election of men to protect its interests or give it new privileges, or pay blackmail to ward off the raids of cunning legislators and officials and others. "4. It does not have to advertise or solicit business. "4. It is able to save a great deal by combination with other departments of public service. Speaking of the low cost of electric light in Dunkirk, the mayor of the city says: 'Our city owns its water plant, and the great saving comes from the city's owning and operating both plants together.' "6. Full public ownership (that is, public ownership free of debt) has no interest to pay. "7. Even where public ownership is incomplete, the people not owning the plant free of debt, they still have an advantage in respect to interest, because they can borrow at lower rates than the private companies have to pay. "8. As cities usually act as their own insurers, public ownership is free of tribute to the profits and agency-commissions of private insurance companies. "9. There is often a large saving in salaries. A public plant pays its chief well, but does not pay the extravagant salaries awarded by millionaire monopolists to themselves or their substitutes in office. "10. Public plants frequently gain through the higher efficiency of better treated and more contented labor. "1. The losses occasioned by costly strikes and lockouts do not burden the ledgers of public works. "12. Damages and costs of litigation are likely to be less with publics than with private works. Accidents are fewer in a system that aims at good service and safety, and treats its employees well. "13. The civic interest of the people leads to other economies through the increase of patronage and the lessening of waste. The larger the output, the lower the cost of production per unit of service, other things equal, and the tendency to waste electricity, water, etc., is much less when the people know that the service is a public one, the profits of which belong to them, than when they know that the service is rendered by a private corporation charging monopoly rates and making big profits for a few stockholders. These economies are intensified as education and experience with public owner- ship develop the understanding and the civic patriotism of the people. "14. The cost of numerous regulative commissions and interminable legislative investigations into the secrets of private monopolies would be saved by the extension of public ownership. "15. Legislation would cost us less were it not for the private monopolies. For a large part of the time and attention of our legislatures is given to them." He anticipates possible objections to the position thus assumed, in the following further statement: "Private ownership may claim an advan-tage through the payment of lower wages, but on broad grounds of public policy this is a very dubious advantage. It is like saving money by wearing paper clothes, or eating only one meal a day. "Even on economic grounds the evidence is that in many lines of business the efficiency of well-paid labor is so great that the cost per unit is less than with poorly-paid labor. "Moreover, it would be fair in many cases to compare municipal ownership with private ownership on the basis of the private wage, subtracting from the operating expenses of the municipal plant the excess of the public wage above the company wage for the same work, on the ground that the increase of pay under public ownership is not really a payment for gas or electric light or transportation, but an investment in manhood and civilization. "But whether this is done or not, the experience of Glasgow, Liverpool and other English and German cities with municipal and private tramways in the same localities, and the experience of hundreds of cities and towns in this country and in Europe with municipal waterworks, gas and electric plants, etc., abundantly confirms the conclusion pointed to by the above considerations as to the superior economy of public ownership wherever it is tried under reasonable conditions that permit it to work out its natural and legitimate results."—Municipal Journal. Spokane, Wash., Jan. 11, 1906. Mr. H. R. Cayton. Dear Sir:I have read and reread your splendid article on "The Oriental Boycott" in the Republican of January 5th, and find the more I read it and think over certain paragraphs the better I like it, for it voices my sentiments exactly. Let us thank Mr. Andrew Hemrich for expressing his fear of the results of the boycott, for in doing so it caused you to use your pen with telling effect. The comparison between the two dark races, and the treatment they receive from the Anglo-Saxon in Christian America are well brought out. The spirit of honor to whom honor is due prompts me to personally compliment you on your Oriental Boycott article.
