If you are afraid of the hold-up man, go home early before the rush begins. Southern Californians claim they have climate to sell. Well, we can supply some surplus rain. With Roosevelt on deck, the wind is being taken out of the Democratic slogan, "down with the trusts." A large portion of the Rainier valley is supplied with Cedar river water, both inside and out of the corporate limits. The Ballard people are rustling for water. Great big, good-hearted Seattle will not cut you off too suddenly, so don't be frightened. A subscriber wishes to know who are the best educated men, those who take part in athletics in our great colleges, or those who do not. We have never seen any statistics on that subject, but our guess is the latter. If you wish to know what President Hill is doing for our city, just take a walk down to Fourth and Main and Jackson Streets. Seattle will some day erect a monument to the memory of that greatest of all railroad builders. Now that State Treasurer Mills has decided to distribute the state funds, it would appear that, the First National Bank of Olympia is no longer Lord of all it surveys. Somebody has either lost his cunning on "there is a nigger in the wood pile." Getting work for our navy yard from the navy department is one of the "fine arts" that our senators and congressmen have tackled. If our men break the California political pull, it will be a great feat. "War Horse," we mean Judge W. H. White, of Redmond, was in the city Monday. It is generally conceded that his written opinions while on the supreme bench are the ablest and most exhaustive of any judge that has been a membr of that court. In Alaska, the district judges appoint the commissioners, who are ex-officio recorders and probate judges. Congress is about to correct this evil and place the appointment of these officers in the governor, where it should have been in the first place. --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1906 The Rev. William Ash, an evangelist in New York, recently attended a sparring match in that city, and between the third and fourth rounds of a contest, delivered a sermon to the boys. The preacher's wife was with him, and they were treated with proper respect by those in attendance. Gov. Mead's prolific pardoning machine, which he has worked overtime, has even moved the P.-I., the only newspaper friend the governor had in the state, to words of rebuke. If the governor will but continue turning "them" out he will soon have the proper stuff at his command to build up a pretty strong machine of his own. To tell the truth about Seattle is good enough. There is too much commercial lying. It isn't necessary in order to advertise our city to publish a picture of a twelve-story skyscraper when in fact the building is only four stories above the basement. When the other eight stories are added, it should be represented as a twelve-story building, but not until. President Osgood, majority stock owner in the old Renton line, is having his share of trouble. The federal court recently decided a case in his favor which left him owner of the big end of the stick, but a new claimant to some of the shares has commenced a case in the state courts to oust the president from control. The patrons on the line are kicking harder over the service than any patrons of the Electric Company. The two surgeons who attended the Harvard football players during the 1905 season have made a lengthy report, and it is not favorable to the continuance of the game. The doctors in part declare that the percentage of injury is the greatest in football than of any other games. The surgeons think that a game that requires the attendance of two trained surgeons is not played under desirable conditions. The prize fighters have always claimed that boxing contests are not half as brutal as football, and the findings of the surgeons inclines to that contention. Do not forget one thing, and that is, that in this life you will always find the two extremes. We are not only enjoying prosperity on this coast, but it is general all over the United States, and how long a reaction will be in coming we don't know, but that it will come is just as certain as death. After the great building boom in the nineties, the reaction caught many of our best people unprepared and down they went financially, probably some of whom will never recover from their failures. This is not meant to frighten anyone, but it is good business judgment to regulate your indebtedness in such a manner that if times tighten up, you cannot be "cleaned out." It is awful to have a snug fortune and lose it by your desires to get more. Keep yourself in shape for the APR 29 1952 PRICE FIVE CENTS worst at all times, is advice that will do lots of good, and never any harm. According to Jerome K. Jerome, grafting in England is looked upon which such disfavor, that a person accused under suspicious circumstances is treated with but little respect. Public sentiment is the same in Germany. The chief rulers in these countries are free from graft, and are the cause of this much desired reform. England under the four Georges was one of the most corrupt governments that ever existed, but when Victoria became queen, she soon purified it. Wherever you find a good, true, honest, sincere head to a government, graft will soon cease to exist. The term of President Roosevelt is too short to accomplish this reform in public sentiment and no man, his equal to this particular task, will follow him, that is, if either of the prominent men who are named become his successor. The papers at the present time report but few, but very few, grafters in government positions. Everybody knows the president will not stand for it. It was a severe shock to the many friends of George N. Gilson to hear of his sudden death while on a steamr headed for San Francisco, which news was reported in the morning paper last Monday. While a few of his friends knew that he was in poor health and likewise knew that he left the city a few days prior to travel for his health, yet none of them had the slightest idea of him being so near death's door. Mr. Gilson aside from being prominent in the political circles of this city and county and also of being a pioneer of King county, was one of the most whole-souled fellows in every respect that could be found. He made and held friends by the scores and all of them will sorely regret to learn of his seemingly untimely death. Two weeks ago he was thinking seriously of running for city treasurer, but after consulting with friends and his physician he concluded to make a run for health, but before he reached the goal death overtook him. Truly in the midst of life is death. Peace to his ashes. W. H. THE LATE GEORGE N. GILSON POLITICAL POT-PIE The Labor Union party and the Municipal Ownership party in a consolidated mass convention last Saturday nominated W. H. Moore for mayor, Edward Brady for corporation counsel, F. A. Rust for city treasurer and Mr. Wilson for comptroller. Mathew Dow and Lispman were nominated for councilmen at large. The various nominations for the city council were left open for further conference. If the Democrats endorse the above ticket or any part thereof so much of it will be exceedingly strong. Judge Moore is and has always been a Southern Democrat, which will cost him a good many Republican votes that might be inclined to vote for any party that would endorse municipal ownership. Edward Brady is a lifelong Republican, and being a man of sterling qualities will be a strong candidate and will draw heavily from the Republican party, in which party he has many warm personal friends. Rust is a labor union agitator and will run behind his ticket. * * * The Republicans are still at sea for a candidate for mayor. While Irving T. Cole and his friends are making a hard fight to bring things around his way, yet there still seems to be a coolness among the Republicans who usually go to conventions toward his candidacy. The impression has gone out that the P.-I. will not support him if nominated, but this is a mistake. A number of pieces of available mayorality timber has been put on exhibition with the hope that lightning would strike one or the other, but all so far have fallen short of the mark, and like that famous army that marched up the hill one by one they have marched down again. "I firmly believe that Mayor Ballinger will yet be the nominee," said a well-known politician. "If Ballinger changes his mind and becomes a candidate after repeatedly refusing I am afraid it will militate against him at the polls," came from another equally prominent Republican worker. * * * The only big fights in the next Republican city convention will be over the mayor and the city treasurer. For the latter nomination there are a score or more of candidates, and some one or two of them are rather strong. George Russell, of the Seventh ward, who is being backed by the Young Men's Republican Club, is doubtless the most formidable candidate at this writing. He is being closely followed by John W. Hanna, Sanders, G. H. Appleton and Jim Anderson. So evenly divided are the followers of the above candidates that it is hard to say which has the best of the fight. * * * Frank P. Mullen, it looks at this time, will be renominated for councilman at large without opposition. Rude will have to fight and fight hard if he wins, though he has been gaining strength for the past week. To succeed Rude, as was said last week, Henry Beck of the Sixth ward may become a candidate. W. H. Vincent, of the Second, may also become a candidate, and yet he may decide to make a fight for the Second ward nomination. Major Rinehard is also talked of, but THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN there is no danger of him getting beyond the wanting stage. It is reported, and that too on very good authority, that Councilman Conway will ask for the Republican nomination for councilman from the First ward. Jaffe and Johnson are having a big fight in the Second ward, with the odds at this time in favor of Jaffe. W. H. Vincent may yet come in and get into the local fight, and owing to his personal popularity make it very interesting for both of them. No one as yet cares to cross swords with H. C. Gill, and it is not believed there will be. Francis Sawyer, of the Fourth ward, is also without opposition. H. F. Jackson has decided to make a fight against Ellis Morrison for the nomination of councilman for the Fifth ward. Arnold Zbinden will have the Sixth without opposition. The Seventh ward is very much cut up, and the man who gets the nomination will be surprised when he does get it. In the Eighth ward Dr. Crichton has smothered all would-be opposition to his renomination. Billy Murphy will have no opposition in the Ninth unless he gets to monkeying with the mayoralty wagon. The Tenth and Eleventh are still in a chaotic condition, and no one seems to have the lead for the nominations. * * * It is being currently reported that Senator Piles is mixing in the local fight and that Senator Ankeny's friends are getting busy. If the rumor is correct, Seattle is very likely to have a Democrartic mayor. * * * Hon. F. C. Harper and F. A. Twichell have been endorsed by the county Republican Central Committee respectively for collector of customs at Pt. Townsend and register of the U. S. land office at Seattle. * * * Hon. C. E. Vilas' name has been recommended by the congressional delegation from this state for the superintendency of the U. S. assay office in Seattle. * * * H. F. Jackson, Too. I desire to announce that, I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for councilman from the Fifth yard, to succeed Scott Benjamin, and in so doing I am but carrying out the will of a great many of the voters and taxpayers of the ward, many of whom have already importuned me to stand for the nomination. I promise, if nominated and elected, to stand for the best interests of the city, and I believe my long residence in Seattle makes me familiar with her needs and I have no financial ax to grind in seeking the honor," said H. F. Jackson one day this week. Mr. Jackson has lived in Seattle for the past forty years, and it is useless to add he has seen her grow from a settlement to a gigantic city. Being a man of industrious habits and saving of his earnings he is now the owner of considerable real estate and today he has valuable property in every ward of the city, and, therefore, if he is successful in his efforts of becoming a member of the city council, he will make a very useful member from the very outset. Mr. Jackson's friends make bold to assert that, his realty holdings in the city are too extensive to permit him to allow any one to take advantage of the municipality, and he can be counted on to do and act under all conditions for the very FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1906.

ODDS AND ENDS The wrecking of the Valencia last Tuesday night and the loss of 140 souls was the saddest mishap that has occurred in the Northwest for a half a century. No one seems blamable for the awful disaster save Nature, over which no human being has control. HOW ABOUT SEATTLE GAS? The gas war is still on in Portland, and twelve of the fifteen city councilmen are said to be in favor of a sweeping investigation. We have been familiar with gas and gas works all our lives, having very near relatives engaged in the gas business, but the gas made and sold at Portland is the worst ever. All honor to the good old man in the high tower, who is making such a noble and determined fight against rotten gas and all other rottenness in the city he loves so well. —Cowlitz Advocate. You doubtless have never stopped in a Seattle home that was using gas or you would have one very big exception to make. The gas burned in Seattle leaves the homes in a smoked condition that resembles the after effects of a month's use of the old-fashion pine torch for lighting purposes. AFRO-AMERICANISM President Roosevelt has sent the name of William Tecumseh Vernon, the well-known educator and politician of Kansas, to the senate for confirmation as register of the treasury. He superseded J. W. Lyons of Georgia, who has held the place for the past eight years. \* \* \* Charles W. Anderson, of New York, who was recently made internal revenue collector for the port of New York, has appointed four deputies of his race to places under him. *** W. L. Sayers, of Hill City, Kansas, who was twice elected county clerk and twice prosecuting attorney of Graham county, has a large commercial business in the town, the owner of a 400-acre tract of fine wheat land and is a director in one of the local banks of that city. Sayres is but thirty-three years of age, and, it is reported, takes his financial success with moderation, a thing not always true of men of his race. * * * Andrew J. Dotger, a New Jersey millionaire, has left an estate valued at half a mil- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN lion dollars, which, according to his will just probated, will all go to Booker Washington's Tuskogee Industrial Institute at the death of Mrs. Dotger. This is the largest bequest as yet that has ever been left to that institution. * * * The New York World is a Democratic newspaper which has rung clear on the race question ever since it has been owned by Joseph Pulitzer. In its last Sunday edition The World says, editorially: "It is curious that the man who is doing more than any other at the present moment to revive barbarism and glorify mob rule in the South is a Christian minister, and that the man who has been the leader in peaceful constructive work to free the South from the curs of an evil inheritance was born a slave." This is a fair and generous tatement of the case. Thomas Dixon is the worst enemy the South has at the moment, while Booker T. Washington is the best friend it has. The one teaches hate and extermination; the other teaches mutual respect, tolerance and general uplift. The one is respected and trusted by the best people of the whole country; the other is making himself despised and distrusted by the people of the whole country, including those of the South."—N. Y. Age. * * * The American Negro gets the worst of so many deals—in other words, gets a "square deal" so seldom that he seems to expect the worst of it not only from the Caucassian, but even from men of his own race. A few days ago the chief of the police of Seattle assigned a Negro to a regular police beat. That he was a novelty goes without saying, and the eyes of the community were on him to see how he would handle himself when he arrested an evil doer. It so happened that the first man he arrested was a Negro, and the daily papers made much of it in their columns, whereupon the Negroes of the town, all of whom had been repeatedly wanting to know, why Negroes were not given police jobs, almost in one voice said aloud: "I 'spected as much.'" Why did not that colored policeman arrest some of the po' white trash? Here is a true case of getting what you asked for and not wanting it after you get it. IN WOMEN'S WORLD Has the money-making spirit so common to the men of this country likewise struck the women? A woman whose husband died in a New York village wrote the following letter to the local paper: Mr. Editor: I desire to thank the friends and neighbors most heartily, in this manner, for the united aid and co-operation during the illness and death of my late husband, who escaped from me by the hand of death on Friday last while eating breakfast. To the friends and all who contributed so willingly toward making the last moments and funeral of my husband a success, I desire to remember most kindly, hoping these few lines will find them enjoying the same blessing. I have also a good milch cow and roan gelding horse, 8 years old, which I will sell cheap. 'God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform. He plants his footsteps on the sea and rides upon the storm;' also a black and white shote very low.' If this lady has not an eye single to business then where could you find one? There has been quite an exceptional plea as a reason for a divorce being granted. One Mrs. Carrie Fields applied for and obtained a divorce from Dr. Fields because he did not like her pancakes and ridiculed them. She testified that the expression on the doctor's face while eating the cakes was such that it might work permanent injury to her health. Just what kind of pancakes Mrs. Fields makes is not known, but one thing is clear, if Mrs. Fields ever entertained the idea of cooking pancakes or anything else like either the doctor's or any other man's mother cooked for him from his birth to the morning of his marriage, she is a very silly woman. After observing animals being killed at a slaughtering house in London a twelve-year-old boy killed three calves with an ax and severely injured five others. The magistrate ordered the lad birched. There undoubtedly ought to have been some birching done, but had the lad not been permitted to have witnessed the butchering of the animals then there would have been no occasion to birch the lad. Southern boys of tender ages are permitted to witness lynchings and burnings of human beings with God-given souls, and in their offsprings will just as surely creep out the re-impression as did this thought of slaughtering take root and grow in the London lad. Mrs. Rebecca Pasfield, who recently died in London at the ripe old age of 92, had conducted a Congregational Sunday school class from the age of 14 until a few Sundays before her death. Quite a few men there are, who believe that women are unable to consecrate their efforts in any one direction for a great length of time, but to all such Mrs. Pasfield must come as a revelation. The same individuals are too narrow to look about them every day and find women who are daily demonstrating the fallacy of their narrow belief. Some old maids and childless women claim that children are utterly useless. There are various things besides contributing to the general happiness of the household for which children come in handy. For instance, a Pittsburg woman on learning that an electric company was about to string wires about her house, and with that aim in view had dug six holes, she placed one of her children in each hole and then defied the workmen to proceed. The prospects for three municipal tickets in the coming election are not flattering. The Woman's Association of the bar of New York City has recently incorporated. Judging from the advancement along these lines the bar will eventually have the standard of integrity, honor and courtesy elevated to where it should have been years ago. THINGS ABOUT JEWS. Dr. Maurice Fishberg, medical examiner of the United Hebrew Charities of New York, can not understand why the Russian Jews, who fled that country's persecution should long to return to their old home. Because, doctor, it is their home. The same reasoning explains why the Southern Negroes do not leave that section despite the fact they are subject to all kinds of barbaric treatment at the hands of the dominant people there. Home is home, be it ever so humble. Jews Have an Organ. A Jewish paper made its initial bow two weeks ago, and both the first and second numbers look healthy and it gives very visible evidence of being carefully edited and of course "has come to stay." It will endeavor to represent the Jews of Washington, Idaho, Oregon and British Columbia, in view of the fact there is not a single paper in the entire section published in the interest of the Jews. Jews in the Schools and Colleges. The catalogue of Columbia University of this town for the current year enumerates 608 in the force of instruction and a total of 4,755 resident students of the schools and departments, besides 964 in university extension courses. The great number of Jews among the students is especially notable. The names of nearly one-half of the students in the college proper seem to be Jewish. In the law, medical, mining and engineering schools, also, they make up a large part of the total. In the Barnard College for women and the Teachers College they seem to be proportionately as many as in the college for young men. The Jews form only about a fifth of the population of New York, and therefore their representation in this university is much larger than their relative number in the town. The same may be said regarding the other university in New York, and in the Free College they are still more numerous proportionately. In the public schools they are more relatively to their numbers in the population than any other race. It is not surprising, therefore, that all the learned professions are now beginning to be crowded with Jews and that so many of them are teachers in the public schools. They are more eager for an education than any other part of the population, and generally are among the most assiduous of the pupils and students and the best equipped of the graduates. The increasing Jewish immigration will make still more conspicuous this remarkable ambition of the race to obtain the advantages of education to help them along in their competition to get ahead in the world. Already they number about as many as the native population of New York of native parentage.—Ex. The Second ward is badly shaken up over the question of a councilman, and the name of Senator Piles has been dragged into the contest. Mr. Jaffee is making the most noise at the present time, but Ben. Williams has not yet geen heard from. The fight in that ward is a hot one. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN FUNNY PRESS FREAKS. Gives the Wrong Dope. That was the "most unkindest cut of all" when the Post-Intelligencer in reporting the nominations of the Municipal Conventions, said Edward Brady, the nominee for corporation counsel, was a Democrat in politics. Ed. Brady, as he is known among his host of friends in this city, has never before wavered in his loyalty to the G. O. P., and worst still, he has been one of the few ardent advocates in this city of the re-election of the Hon. John L. Wilson, the principal owner of the Post-Intelligencer, to the United Stataes Senate. Such a misstatement is no funeral of The Seattle Republican, but, in view of the fact that the editor of the Post-Intelligencer is well aware of that, it strikes the average person acquainted with the circumstances as either being base ingratitude or of political pig headedness. Was Not Wilson's Keeper. Speaking about the back-handed slap the Post-Intelligencer administered to Ed Brady and the problematical theory that pig headedness may have inspired, it reminds the writer of an incident which it is reported happened not long since. "A very prominent Seattle citizen, who has always been a warm friend of Senator Wilson, accosted the editor of the Post-Intelligencer in a cigar store with the inquiry, where is Senator Wilson now? Wherupon the editor is said to have very brusquely retorted: "I do not know, and I do not give a ——. I am not Senator Wilson's keeper." The gentleman begged to be excused, made an effusive apology and walked rapidly away, but he was sorely hurt. If the above is correct, then the editor has very little regard for the real interest of either the paper or John L. Wilson. Needs a Warrant. The editor of the Times is devoting a good deal of space to the success of Kenneth Mackintosh as a public prosecutor, and The Seattle Republican verily believes Kenneth deserves all he is getting, but we have always been taught to beware of Greeks coming bearing gifts. The files of the Times during the campaign which resulted in Kenneth Mackintosh's election will show that Mackintosh was abused in a most shameful manner by the old reprobate running the yellow journal. Yes, abused as was no other man in the campaign except Lou Smith. Instead of receiving those periodical slobberings from the editor of the Times, Prosecuting Attorney Mackintosh would be doing the public a favor to issue a warrant for the arrest of the editor of the Times and then put him up against the real thing for a change. Chadwick Objects to Funerals. Whether by fate or misfortune the editor of the Argus of this city seems doomed to see the most of the funeral processions that go to the Lake View cemetery. Some four years ago Editor Chadwick owned a very nice home on Fourteenth avenue and John street. The most of the funerals going to the above burying place passed in front of his door. It annoyed him and he not only put his place on the market, but subsequently sold it. He FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1906 bought property in the Capitol Hill addition on Fifteenth avenue and there built a most commodious home. For a number of years a funeral procession never passed by his door and he was happy. In talking to an acquaintance who had bought and built on Fourteenth avenue he said: "You will see plently of funerals up there. That's why I left the street." The paving of Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth and other streets thereby moved the cemetery people to change the general entrance to the cemetery grounds and now all of the funerals to Lake View go down Fifteenth avenue and of course pass in front of Chadwick's door. The main entrance to the grounds is but two blocks from his house. It looks as if he is funeral hoodooed and has a move coming if he wants to keep from seeing them. Commonwealth Is Dead. The weekly press in Seattle has been undergoing a few slight changes within the past few weeks. The well-known weekly, the Commonwealth, started by Leonard Fowler some five years ago, after a stormy existence during its entire life, having changed hands half a dozen times or more, has been absorbed by the Northwestern Industrial Review, which up until last Christmas, was a healthy monthly. The combination is devoted to the industrial world of the Northwest and is issued weekly. "STOP YOUR PAPER." Almost all newspapers have had experience with the subscriber that takes offense at something published in its columns, and commands you to "stop your paper," but the following from the Spokane Outburst is unusually good: "One day a subscriber met Col. Patrick Henry Winston, editor of Winston's Weekly, on the street, and, with sorrow in his voice and tears in his eyes informed him that he must withdraw his munificent support of $2 per year, owing to an article which met with his disapproval. 'Do you see that man across the street?' asked the Colonel. 'Yes,' case the reply. 'Well, when you quit he'll subscribe. You can go to hell, sah!'" The Seattle Republican thinks, however, it has more than its share of such commands. A colored subscriber wants the paper stopped because "it has nothing in it." A white subscriber orders his paper discontinued because "it has too much colored news in it." So between the two, the financier has the devil's own time to keep things going. HONESTY THE BEST POLICY. Col. Dan Lamont, who died last summer leaving a fortune of about $3,000,000, was once a newspaper reporter, says an exchange. In connection with this, however, it is well to mention the fact that he got out of the newspaper business early in his career.—Hartline Standard. We have always heard that, no one could earn that much money honestly, and in view of the fact that Dan Lamont got out of the newspaper business before he got any part of the above wealth, but verifies the allegation that, the average newspaper man is too honest and straightforward to accumulate either a fortun or a comfortable sustenance. Better be right than president (of the N. Y. Life). ```markdown ``` "Guilty After the Fact" FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1906. Settle It in Court. Over 50,000 cases have been filed in the superior court of King county since the organization of the county, or on an average of fourteen cases per day. If this same ratio is maintained by the time the county is fifty years older the number of cases filed by the county clerk will have reached the million mark. Ten years ago King county had but three superior court judges, Thomas J. Humes, J. W. Langley and Richard Osborne, and all of their times by a good deal were not taken up trying cases. In other words, they had time to burn. Now the county has six superior court judges, A. W. Frater, Boyd J. Tallman, George E. Morris, Arthur E. Griffin, Mitchell Gilliam and R. B. Albertson, and they are on the jump every day in the week and almost every minute in the day, and very frequently an outside judge has to be called in to relieve the legal congestion. Riley Rattled. That spurt of eloquence that George E. Riley indulged in at the Labor Union convention last Saturday in his eulogy of W. H. Moore, the nominee for mayor, wherein he declared that he had been solicited to contribute to a fund, which had for its object the purchasing of a superior court judge's favorable decision he will have to make good, for the present judges held a meeting Monday and ordered Mr. Riley's arrest for contempt of court, and the hearing is set for next Saturday. Already Riley has begun to crawfish, and by the time the case comes up he will have so completely crawfished that the judges will not be able to do anything but order his release. There is quite enough in official circles to criticise without flagrantly lying, which Riley evidently did if he was correctly quoted. Mackintosh Warned. A convicted felon has written Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth Mackintosh a letter threatening to kill him if he ever aspires to office again. The felon charges that Mackintosh is giving John F. Miller, his first deputy, the salary to do the work for him to get the honor, and he is doing this because he has an eye single to being elected representative from this state to Congress. If Mackintosh has convicted the fellow, he, judging from his letter, got his just deserts or at least a part of them, but it is plain to be seen that ten or twenty years added to his sentence would not be an imposition on the community. If Kenneth Mackintosh has Congressional aspirations it to say the least is a laudable one, and while the idea has never before occurred to us, yet it does look as though he is in line for just such a promotion, and if you, Mr. Felon, expect to head him off, you had better begin your killing right now. Lawver Mayors. It is a noteworthy fact that Seattle has not had a mayor, who held on to his job, since she has assumed metropolitan clothes that was not a regular practicing lawyer. The people evidently believe that a lawyer is about the only kind of a business or professional man that can direct the pub- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN er the Fact" lic affairs of the city, and if they make a mistake and get any other kind they soon rectify the same and put in another lawyer. Both the Republicans and the Democrats nominated lawyers for the office of mayor in 1892, John Leary and J. T. Ronald. The latter was elected and served out his full term, though the most of it was rather stormy. Byron Phelps was elected in 1894. He had been admitted to the bar, but had not practiced his profession in Seattle. He served out his full term with more or less success. Frank D. Black was elected in 1896. He was a business man pure and simple, and one of the most successful ever in Se- JUDGE R. B.

Humes was taken from his law practice and made mayor, and he was three times elected. Judge R. A. Ballinger succeeded Humes and has made an ideal official. He refuses a second nomination because he cannot spare the time from his extensive law practice to attend to the duties of mayor. The Demo-Fusions have nominated a lawyer as their standard bearer in the coming fight, and it is highly probable that the Republicans will do likewise, all of which very conclusively shows that the people are desirous of entrusting their city to the custody and care only of lawyers. This speaks well for the lawyers. That's Judge Thomas H.

They are well preserved for their ages, and especially Judge Cann. Though he has rounded his three score and ten mile stone, still he is quite active and is to be found at his office in the Oriental Block every day and looking after his case in court as closely as he did thirty years ago. It is remarkable the business he has built up since he retired from office, but it's all because he gives his clients the best he has in his shop whenever he undertakes lawsuits for them. Between times Judge Cann does quite a bit of literary work, and he has written a number of interesting magazine articles for Eastern papers. GOT EVEN WITH THE JUDGE. Judge Sewall and Joseph Story were dining together at an inn, when a jolly son of Erin appeared at the door and called for dinner. The landlord told him he could eat when the gentlemen had finished. "Let him dine with us," whispered Judge Sewall, "and we will have some fun with him. The Irishman took his seat at the table. "You were not born in this country," said Story. "No. I was born in Ireland." "Is your father living?" "No. sir." "What was his occupation?" "Trading horses, sir." "Did he ever cheat any one?" "I suppose he did, sir?" "Where do you suppose he went to?" "To heaven, sir." "Has he ever cheated any one there?" "He has cheated one man, I believe." "Was he prosecuted?" "He was not, sir." "Why not?" "Because they searched the King- dom of Heaven for a lawyer to take the case and couldn't find one."—Boston Herald. HE PUT HIM OFF. ALL RIGHT. "Now, see here, porter," said he briskly, "I want you to put me off at Syracuse. You know we get in there about six o'clock in the morning, and I may oversleep myself. But it is important that I should get out. Here's a five dollar gold piece. Now, I may wake up hard. Don't mind if I kick. Pay no attention if I'm ugly. I want you to put me off the train, no matter how hard I fight. Understand?" "Yes, sah," answered the sturdy Nubian. "It shall be did, sah." The next morning the coin-giver was awakened by a stentorian voice calling. "Rochester!" "Rochester!" he exclaimed, sitting up. "Where's the porter?" Hastily slipping on his trousers, he went in search of the Negro, and found him in the porter's closet, huddled up, with his head in a bandage, his clothes torn, and his arm in a sling. "Well," says the drummer, "you are a sight. Why didn't you put me off at Syracuse?" "Wha-a-t!" gasped the porter, jumping up, as his eyes bulged from his head. "Was you de gemman dat giv' me a five-dollar gold piece?" "Of course I was, you idiot!" "Well, den, beforh de Lawd, who was dat gemmen I put off at Syracuse?"—Magazine of Fun. THE SAME OLD STORY. A million must toil that a thousand may play— It's the same old story; The man in the shop yearns to pitch the new hay, The hand in the field longs to hurry away to labor in town for two dollars a day— It's the same old story; And the wife, because it's the fashion, will sigh For a month at some place where the prices are high, While hubby—um, well, we can guess, you and I— It's the same old story. The city boy fools with the big bumble bee— It's the same old story; An urchin is bent o'er a weak woman's knee— It's the same old story; The same sky dips down to the same spreading sea As it did when Eve tackled the wrong apple tree, And hello! Why, yes; here is your old college chum With his heels all run down and a bulbous nose—Come! Why, surely, old man, for the sake of well—um— It's the same old story. —S. E.

If any such property stands in the name of a deceased person or any person for whom a guardian has been appointed, the signature of the executor, administrator or guardian, as the case may be, shall be equal to the signature of the owner of the property on such petition. If the board of public works finds the facts set forth in said petition to be true, they shall cause an estimate of the cost and expense of such improvement to be made and transmit the same, together with all papers and information in their possession touching such improvement, with the estimated cost thereof, and their recommendations thereon, a description of the property which will be specially benefited thereby and a statement of the proportionate amount of the cost and expense of such improvement which shall be borne by such property, to the city council. The city council shall have full authority to consider all matters in relation to such proposed improvement, and may authorize the same by ordinance or refuse it in its discretion; provided, that unless the petition for said improvement shall be signed by three-fourths (%) of the property to be assessed therefor and specifies a greater percentage than fifty per cent., the city council, or board of public works shall not have authority to further proceed in the matter of such improvement whenever the cost of any work or improvement ordered, to be done by the city council and chargeable as a lien, under the provisions of this article, against the property specially benefited within such assessment district shall exceed fifty per cent. of the total assessed valuation of the lots or parcels of land contained in such assessment district as the same appears upon the last annual assessment roll, made for the levying of taxes for municipal purposes, in which case such improvement shall not be granted unless the same be so modified that the cost thereof shall not exceed such fifty per cent. of the aforesaid valuation. Said limit of fifty per cent., however, may be extended when any improvement shall be petitioned for by the owners of three-fourths (%) of the property to be assessed for said proposed improvement, and when such petition specified not to exceed a certain higher percentage. The action and decision of the city council as to all matters passed upon by it in relation to the rejection or the granting of such petition shall be final and conclusive. The city council may order the whole or any part of the streets, lanes, alleys, squares or public places of the city to be graded, regraded, sidewalked, residewalked, planked or replanked, paved, repaved, macadamized, remacadamized, graveled, regraveled, piled, repiled, capped, recapped, or may order any bulkhead, retaining wall, viaduct, tunnel, water main or sewer with manholes, catch basins and other proper connections, to be constructed or repaired therein and may provide for defraying the whole or any portion of the cost and expense of any such improvement by the collection of a special assessment upon the property specially benefited thereby in the manner provided in this section without the presentation of any petition either to the board of public works or to the city council; provided, that unless a petition as hereinbefore prescribed be presented, such improvement shall not be ordered except by ordinance passed by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of all the members of the city council, at a regular meeting, or at a meeting which is an adjournment of a regular meeting; provided, no street shall be ordered graded without petition, except by a unanimous vote of all members present; and provided that there may be established sewer or drainage districts in conformity to the requirements of the topography of the ground; and constructed in each of said districts a main or trunk sewer. Such district shall include real estate which can be conveniently sewered or drained into such main or trunk sewer, either directly or by means of sub-sewers, and which will be benefited thereby. There shall first be levied against the property immediately abutting and contiguous to such main or trunk sewer, and which can be conveniently sewered or drained into said main or trunk sewer, such amounts, in accordance with special benefits as would have been levied against such property in case there had been constructed, in the same place, a branch or sub-sewer for the service of that immediate neighborhood only, the remaining portion of the cost of said main or trunk sewer shall then be distributed and assessed equitably against all the land included in said sewer or drainage district in accordance with special benefits and in proportion to the area of the various lots, tracts or parcels of land therein.

The city council, at all hearings on assessment rolls, shall sit as a board of equalization in open council for the purpose of changing, altering or amending said rolls, that all assessments shall be made, as near as may be, strictly in accordance with special benefits, and the subdivision rate of assessment herein prescribed shall in nowise limit or abridge such powers of the city council.
