It is claimed that the President has shut the door of hope against Negroes in the South ever again holding federal offices. If the allegation is correct, his recent trip through the South must have kindled anew his Southern fire, which had been smouldering for all these years. In Arkansas, setting apart one day in each year for patriotism to be preached in the public schools, and, as one of the subjects for the first discourse is to be on Robert E. Lee, the noted Confederate, who refused, after the fall of the South, to salute Old Glory, it's damn poor patriotism that will be imparted to those young rebels unless it be Confederate patriotism. A Chicago woman has solved the problem of loafing husbands. Her old man could not be begged, coaxed or driven to work, so she bought a gramophone with a single record, which played all day, "Everyone works but father, he sits 'round all day'"—— In a few days it got on his "nerves" and he struck out and found a permanent job. He seems to be entirely cured.—Milton Eagle. A boy who swims may say he's swum, but milk is skimmed and seldom skum, and nails you trim, they are not trum. When words you speak, those words are spoken; but a nose is tweaked and seldom twoken, and what you seek is seldom soken. If we forget, then we've forgotten; but things we wet are never wotten, and houses let are never lotten. The goods one sells are always sold, but fears dispelled are not dispold, and what you smell is never smoled. When young, a top you oft saw spun, but did you see a grin e'er grun or a potato neatly skun?—Ex. Had the officers of the Valencia cast anchor when the storm and high seas overtook the craft, doubtless all would have been well; but no, if that had been done a few hours' time would have been lost and, if that report had become public property, the steamship company would not have been able in the future to compete with the railroads and other steamship lines. The ship, therefore, made haste by braving the angry billows, with the result, all were lost. All America seems to be money mad and any kind of a desperate chance will be taken if there is only money in sight. However, we do not take any stock in all this crimination and recrimination going on between the sur- --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1906 vivors and others. All was doubtless done for the relief of the unfortunates that could have been. A cartoonist makes Uncle Sam to cover his face with his hands at sight of "the empty uniform" once worn by General Wheeler. What a spectacle! Now, if Uncle Sam will but visit the tomb of Jeff Davis, the archtraitor, weep a little, and cause a monument to be erected over the little patch of earth, then toadyism will have reached the high water mark. Had Davis, Lee, Wheeler and all the rest of those who led the rebels have been executed at the time of their surrender, Uncle Sam would have saved himself a world of subsequent trouble. General Wheeler may have subsequently done valiant service for the United States government, but he gave the prime of his life trying to overthrow it, and, failing in that, he, in order to continue conspicuous, decided to serve it. France or England would have guillotined such a rebel. Representative Longworth, in a recent speech in the House of Representatives of Congress, declared that it was an impossibility to translate into the Filipino language the words, "a public office is a public trust." Is it not rather difficult, Mr. President's tobe-son-in-law, to imprint the full meaning and significance of the phrase on even the citizens' of the United States mind. But. BLICAN 1906 PRICE FIVE CENTS LINGER into the mayorality Edward P. Tremper, Miller, other mayor- l withdrawn in Rip- doubtless, Filipino blood has already begun to crop out in the United States, which accounts for the graft game being played to such an alarming extent on the part of so many of the men of this country who hold places of trust and honor. Perhaps Senators Burton, Mitchell, Depew, Platt, and the various representatives in Congress under serious charges, as well as the various state officials who, instead of acting on the theory that a public office is a public trust, seem to say, a public office is a robbers' roost, may all be Filipinos, but we seriously doubt it. While lynch law has not been completely run down, yet it seems badly winded. It has been driven completely out of the Northern states and but one case for the year 1905 is reported in a Western state. During the year just closed there were but sixty-six lynchings throughout the United States, which was a marked falling off in mobocracy in comparison to previous years. Since this spirit of barbarism made its first general appearance in this country, the following statistics will be of service to those who give the subject thought and consideration: 1885.....184 1896.....131 1886.....138 1897.....166 1887.....122 1898.....127 1888.....142 1899.....107 1889.....176 1900.....115 1890.....127 1901.....125 1891.....192 1902.....96 THEATRICAL. The cast which will present "The County Chairman" at the Grand on Sunday is a most excellent one and is headed by that fine character actor, Theodore Babcock, who will be seen as the Hon. Jim Hackler, the county chairman. The laughable darkey, Sassafras, always ready to sell his vote but who won't stay bought is impersonated by George Thatcher, the veteran minstrel. Ruby Bridges is cast for the part of Lucy, the lovable daughter of the unscrupulous judge. Others in the company are Herman Leib, Charles Burke, John Gorman, Richard J. Dillon, Edward Gorman, Florida Kingsley, Zenaide Williams and Grace Romine. English Grand Opera Has Come to Stay. Grand opera in English has come to stay. Walter Damrosch has proclaimed it, Heinrich Conried admits it and Henry W. Savage has demonstrated it with the enormous successes achieved by his English Grand Opera and "Parsifal" Companies. The favorite artists of these two organizations have been retained and combined into one this year, giving Manager Savage the best English-singing company on the stage. The repertory embraces the best from all schools of opera. Since the organization was founded ten years ago in Boston, Mr. Savage has produced eighty-three operas in English and given over 4,500 performances. This enterprise has been self-sustaining in a field of endeavor where fortunes have been sunk in oft-repeated previous efforts to give to the music-loving public the highest form of the lyric drama in the vernacular. This season Mr. Savage booked his reorganized company for its second cross-continent tour, with over eighty engagements. This city is one of the fortunate ones to be visited, and it is hoped sufficient encouragement will be extended to justify an annual season of grand opera in English. The entire company with its 150 singers and musicians, complete scenic equip- PIANO BARGAINS The D. S.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ment for such opera, will be heard at the Grand for nine performances, starting next Thursday. "Hooligan in New York." A feature in which the management of "Hooligan in New York" takes great pride is the number of high-class specialties to be seen in the production. The stereotyped song and dance and the "coon" song with the chestnut flavor with which a long-suffering public has been inflicted, so often are tabooed. There is dancing, plenty of it, but it's different. The Marion Sisters, who are with the company, wear gold medals which they won in a contest at Tony Pastor's Theatre for novelty dancers over all competitors. Forty-two teams were in the contest and the Misses Marion were unanimously awarded the prize. They will positively appear with "Hooligan in New York" at the Third Avenue theatre, beginning next Sunday matinee, February 4. One of the coming attractions at the Third Avenue Theatre for one week only, starting February 4, is Frazee & Browne's big sensational comedy drama, "Hooligan in New York," with Will H. Wheeler as "Happy Hooligan." The play is filled with thrilling situations and plenty of good comedy. Mr. Wheeler himself is extremely funny, and has the enthusiastic support of an energetic company. Yankee Doodle Girls. An entirely new musical and farcical production, The Yankee Doodle Girls, will come to the Seattle for one week, commencing Sunday. While the title is a new one to patrons of burlesque, the show itself is as lively and up-to-date as its name implies. The opening part, "A Misfitable Insurance Company," is a delicious concoction of mirth, music, pretty songs and seasonable novelties. A grand reproduction on a magnificent scale of the New York Hippodrome is presented during the burlesque. The musical numbers in both the opening and closing numbers are worthy of mention, and are portrayed by a host of beautiful women, whose fair forms, flashing eyes and rounded limbs fill the beholder's soul with rapture. In the olio are Guhl and Yale, Etta Victoria, Murphy and Magee, Schoenwerk, Fox and Duball, and the Five Bakers in their death defying venture, "Looping the Gap." All scenery, electrical and mechanical effects used during the entire show are carried complete by the company, and represent an outlay of many thousands of dollars. Of late years American designers and manufacturers of art drapery have been rejoicing over the quickened artistic sense of women shoppers, and attribute this awakening largely to the international expositions at which priceless art tapestries of the old world greeted their eyes. Viewing the marvelous hand-wrought hangings with their exquisite color effects, and noting what an important bearing the manner of draping these had upon presenting the shades to best advantage, they came to realize the possibilities that they had neglected in this department of home furnishing. With characteristic Yankee energy they soon set about to remedy the defect. Clubwomen took up the study of color harmony and period decoration—art designs identified with the period in which they were originated; the knowledge thus acquired was communicated to their less studious sisters and glaringly inartistic effects in American homes became more and more rare. The improvement was especially noticeable in window draperies and portieres, which had previously been selected rather because their color or quality appealed to the purchaser than because they possessed the all-important qualification of harmonizing with their surroundings. The secret of combining sympathetic tints and securing effective contrasts is very generally understood now, and in this regard the new tapestry hangings please the eye. But many persons have yet to learn that the decorative worth of these curtains is not their only virtue. They are most useful in increasing or decreasing the apparent height or width of a window that is an artistic mistake, and where the blunder was made in the case of a door or alcove, the same good results may be obtained by properly adjusted portieres.

The lynchings in the various states and territories were as follows: Alabama, 3; Arkansas, 5; Florida, 1; Georgia, 11; Kentucky, 4; Mississippi, 17; Missouri, 1; Nevada, 1; Tennessee, 3; Texas, 11; Virginia, 1. It will be observed from the above that for the year 1905 the Southern states, with one exception, did all of the lynching. It will be further observed that the state of Mississippi leads all the other states, with Georgia and Texas a close second and Arkansas holding fourth place. With a Governor preaching such revolutionary ideas as has that blatant-mouthed bovine, James K. Vardeman, it is perfectly natural for the lay citizens to practice border outlawry to an alarming extent. In the state of Georgia two Democratic aspirants for the United States senatorship are making their respective campaigns on promises and pledges from the stump of outdoing his opponent in reducing the Negroes of the state to serfdom. This campaign has been going on so long and become so bitter that the lay citizens have felt called upon to exterminate the bone of their contention before either one gets an opportunity to put in effect their damnable theories. The state of Arkansas is the home of that most contemptible damphool Jeff Davis, who is governor of the state, which tells the whole story. TRADE WITH RUSSIA. Trade with Russia, including the Asiatic part, during the fiscal year of 1905, as shown by the records of the bureau of statistics department of commerce and labor, amounted to $28,800,000, of which 511,800,000 represents imports into the United States and $17,000,000 the exports of the United States to Russia. These figures are somewhat lower than the figures for the preceding year when the total trade figures were in excess of $31,300,000, of which $11,900,000 were imports and $19,-400,000 were exports. The shrinkage is due largely to the war and unsettled condition of the country. These figures do not include the entire trade movement between the countries. Goods shipped from this country and ultimately reaching Russia, and vice versa, are often consigned to various ports of intermediate countries and trans-shipped, particularly raw cotton, the largest item of American exportation to Russia. As a matter of fact, the officially recorded imports of American cotton into Russia during the five-year period ending December 31, 1904, were 919, 534,000 pounds, while exports to that country during the five-year period ending June 30, 1904, are stated in official reports of the bureau of statistics to have been 200,000,000 pounds, or less than 30 per cent of the direct imports recorded by the Russian customs authorities. Furthermore, besides $19,500,000 worth of raw cotton credited to the United States, imports of cotton to the amount of $24,300,-000 are credited to Great Britain, Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden and Norway, all THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN countries which do not produce cotton, but receive the greater part (about 75 per cent) of their supply from the United States. Allowing for these additional figures, it is said that a conservative estimate of the total value of the commerce, both direct and indirect, would place the value at not less than $50,000,000 to $60,000,000, of which $45,000, - 000 to $50,000,000 represents the value of goods shipped to Russia from this country and about $10,000,000 the value of goods shipped from Russia to the United States. The principal imports from United States consist of raw materials, such as are not produced there at all (jute, Manila hemp, etc.), or produced in insufficient quantities. The principal imports into Russia from the United States during 1903, the latest year for which complete returns for the entire empire are available, are raw cotton, valued at $24,338,000, which included the value of direct imports only; machinery, chiefly agricultural machinery of the more complex type, which aggregated $2,294,000 in value; iron and steel, copper, dyes, etc. The annual imports for the year 1894-1895 amount to 24, 771,000, while the average imports for the period 1899-1903 are $23,276,000 these being exclusive of the indirect imports, which, as in the case of cotton, reach considerable proportions. The principal imports into the United States are raw materials—principally raw wool and hides and skins—whose combined value constitutes nearly 80 per cent. of the total imports credited to that country as a whole. The imports of sugar, which, in 1901, were valued at $713.518, have since ceased. Of the total imports into Russia over the European frontier, in 1904, the share credited to the United States constitutes 10.7 per cent. while of the total imports into this country during the fiscal year 1905, the share credited to Russia is 1.5 per cent.—Coast Trade.

Building, Seattle Republicans Call City Convention, February 16 It has been learned from the Walla Walla Union, Levi Ankeny's paper, that "Senator Ankeny works hard in the Senate." At what he works either hard or soft the informant left untold, but we have heard of it and might tell of it were it not for that "beastly headache in the morning." President Roosevelt has sent the name of C. E. Vilas to the Senate for confirmation as superintendent of the U. S. assay office in Seattle, which is the same as Vilas already has the job for at least the next four years if not longer. Talk about playing lucky in politics, but this is perhaps the luckiest stroke that has been played in the entire state by any politician. While Calvin E. Vilas is one of the most affable business men in the city, yet he has always been an independent Republican voter. He was never identified with any political faction and he was successful in getting the nomination for representative to the state legislature from the forty-seventh representative district as a compromise between the Wilson and the Piles workers, he having promised the Wilson folk that he leaned to Wilson. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1906. POLITICAL POT-PIE The following call for city convention caucuses and primaries has just been issued by the Republican city central committee: This is to certify that at a meeting of the Republican city central committee held in the city of Seattle, Wash., on the 19th day of January, 1906, the following resolution was duly passed by the unanimous vote of said committee, a majority thereof constituting a quorum being present and voting; therefore be it Resolved, by the Republican city central committee of the city of Seattle, the same being the managing committee authorized by the usage, custom and practice of the Republican party of the city of Seattle, Wash., to call, manage and conduct political caucus, primary election and nominating convention of said political party in the said city, that caucus and primary election be held in each voting precinct of the city of Seattle, under the primary election law of the state of Washington, made and provided and in the manner following: How Caucuses Shall Be Conducted.

That Republican primaries in each of the voting precincts of the city of Seattle be and the same are hereby called to be held on the 14th day of February, 1906, at the places hereinafter designated, the object of which primaries is to elect delegates to the Republican city convention to be held in said city of Seattle on the 16th day of February, 1906, for the purpose hereinafter specified, and that said primaries shall be open from 1 p. m. to 8 o'clock p. m. of said day.

Despite the fact that the business has been an He was a faction the nominate legislative the Wilson promised Wilson. Subsequently it was learned that Vilas was for neither Wilson or Piles, but was moving heaven and earth to get Jacob Furth into the fight. After the legislature convened he soon become Wilson's most deadly enemy, held Furth in abeyance and made more Piles noise than the whole delegation combined which is responsible for him being named for the honorable position of superintendent of the assay office. It would hardly be fair to accuse Mr. Vilas of playing both ends against the middle for the sake of an office, but it certainly looks that way. Despite the fact that the Republican city convention has been called still the Republican leaders have come to no definite conclusion as to their candidate for mayor. While a number of persons have been mentioned in connection with the nomination yet no one's name seems to have struck the popular chord of political enthusiasm as yet. John F. Miller's boom died a-bornin', as did a number of others whose names were presented for public consideration. Irving T.

What he will do under pressure is hard to say, but the Piemaker is inclined to believe he will accept the honor if it comes to him unsolicited and he is permitted to go into the office with clean hands. In case Riplinger is nominated for mayor it would leave a vacancy for the city comptroller nomination which would be the signal for another wild scramble for the place like unto that now going on for city treasurer. Already E. W. Melse, Riplinger's chief clerk, has been favorably mentioned in connection therewith as has the name of Harry W. Carroll, also a clerk in the comptroller's office. Both of them are popular politicians and would put up a pretty fight for the prize. But there will be a sufficient number of outside candidates bob up in due time to give spice to the fight.

That a Republican nominating convention of the city of Seattle be and the same is hereby called to be held in said city of Seattle, at the Armory, corner Terry avenue and Stewart street, on the 16th day of February, 1906, at the hour of 11 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of: (1) Nominating Republican candidates for the following offices of the said city of Seattle, to be voted upon at the general municipal election of said city to be held on the 6th day of March, 1906, viz.; Mayor Mayor. City comptroller. Corporation counsel. City treasurer, Two (2) councilmen-at-large. One councilman for each of the eleven (11) wards of said city. (2) To elect a Republican city central committee according to the custom and usage of the Republican party, said committee to consist of one member from each ward, and such member from the city at large as the convention shall deem advisable.

Whether to come out openly for the proposition or to slobber over it or to boldly denounce it is the per- plexing question with those who are and will shape the destinies of the party. It is main- tained by many that municipal ownership is alright only Seattle ‘is not ready to adopt it just now in any greater extent than what she has in operation. Others more radical advocate that the city either condemn the Se- attle Electrie Company’s plant or build rival lines and the latter is the more preferable. with them. * * * ‘ It is rumored that Sam F. Rathbun, city. treasurer, may in case John Riplinger seeks the mayoralty nomination, enter the race for city comptroller.. Should he do so he would prove a most formidable candidate, as he is very popular in political circles. * * * Griffin’s Bee buzzed again last Saturday after a six years sleep. Though ‘the paper went to the bone yard in the spring of 1900 yet Griffin has collected subscriptions on the same every year since that time-and this temporary revival will give him mother six years lease to collect subscription on the Bee. 5 * * * The Municipal ticket which willbe voted for at the coming city election is as follows: Mayor, William Hickman Moore, Democrat; J. S. Wilson, Republican, comptroller; F. A. Rust, Independent, treasurer; Edward Bra- dy, Republican, Corporation Council; Ma- thew Dow, Republican, and George Listman, Republican, councilmen-ta-large.

Wood, Republican; E. E. Osborn, Republican, and James: Murphy, Democrat. * * * The Socialists have also named a part of their ticket, which will be completed within the next few days. The Democrats have not assembled as yet, but when they do it is ex- pected they will endorse the municipal tick- et for the most part at least. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. The importance, iherent and acquired, at- tached to the subject of municipal owner- ship is significantly reflected in the numer- ous public references to it which we are called upon to chronicle in these pages. The present time is especially rich in these allu- sions, for the annual messages of Governors and Mayors afford opportunities for state- ments and opinions which it were worse than idle to ignore. In some instances, these are, as must be looked for, marred by the cramp- ing influences of a too servile adhesion: to local conditions, but others evince a laudable TNE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN disposition—and ability—to stray from the flesh-pots of parochialism and to utilize the indispensable local experience in that broad- er application of it which is alone of value for the outside seeker after truth. We reproduced, in last week’s issue, a con- siderable portion of an address by Mayor Cutler, of Rochester, N. Y., in which, as it appears to us, very fair and reasonable H. P, RUDE Who will be nominated for Councilman-at- large. ground is taken on the question. In urging, as he does, a conservative attitude in re- gard to the transfer of corporate under- takings to the municipality, he cannot be ae- cused of any partiality for the former, for a large share of his address was devoted to the relation of steps taken, with his entire approval, to secure that living up to con- tracts by the Rochester street railway com- pany which constitutes one of the acknowl- edged difficulties of the general problem. But, while these things are living entities with him, he does not allow them to ob- secure his vision or to bemuse his intellect by driving him into the ranks of uncompro- mising ‘‘municipal traders.’? We use this term with no thought of identifying with the obloquy which has grown around it in Great Britain those reasoning advocates of im- proved municipal conditions from whom the solution of this, among other American prob- lems, may be hopefully expected. But there are those to whom Mayor Cutler’s remarks may, we. trust, be commended without any idea of offense in reminding them that both sides of most questions are equally deserv- ing of consideration. This is, indeed, the cardinal prinieple un- derlying the action of the National Civic Federation in undertaking an exhaustive in- vestigation of facts with which the American public has hitherto been only partially famil- iar. Consular reports, papers read before professional and other societies, newspaper articles, and other sources of information have been freely drawn upon, but no such inquiry as that which is to be entered upon in Europe by a committee of the Federation during the eoming summer has yet been made. Two questions of vital importance will come up for solution, one affecting for- eign, the other domestic conditions. The suf- FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1906. ficiency, or otherwise, of the provision made for depreciation in British municipal un- dertakings will have to be edtermined at the same time as the fitness, or otherwise, of American institutions for assimilating those methods of direct operation which have been more or less successful under other condi- tions. It is probably not too much to as- sume that municipal ownership will have to be resorted to in America, not necessarily as an ideal step, but as the most practicable way out of conditions no longer to be borne. It is when the question of direet operation. by American municipal. bodies comes up. for discussion that the widest divergence. of opinion may be looked for, this phase being indissolubly connected with the larger and equally. pressing question. of municipal. gov- ernment as a whole—Municipal Ownership Journal. 7 ‘ WEATHER BUREAU. The midwinter month of January has pre- sented remarkable summer features through- out the East and West, and even at points where the mereury should have been at 15 degrees below zero. Accurate records show the same conditions at various points. Jan- uary 1 butterflies flew about Rutland, Ver- mont; caterpillars crawled along the streets of Burlington in the same state. - January 2, persons were stung by wasps in Troy, New York. Rhubarb sprouted in Washington, Ni J» ‘The:eroak of frogs was heard near Hagerstown, Maryland. January 18 snakes sunned themselves near Bellefonte, Pa. Violets bloomed in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, Pa., and grass took on a ver- dant hue. January 19 there were heat prostrations in Pittsburg. January 21, 20,000 persons visited Coney Island and some entered the surf. Robins appeared in Burlington, Vermont. Lake Champlain was open to navigation. January 22, trees and vines budded in Pennsylvania and the mereury registered 86 in. Philadel- phia. January 25, lilae bushes bloomed in Cen- tral Park, maple trees budded in Prospect Park. The temperature in New Jersey was 66 degrees. Baseball in the Northwest is said to be “waking up.’’ Is it not about time for the bystander to get an extra grip on his pocket book. 3 A Chinaman working down on the old Renton line in the capacity of a domestie re- cently became possessed of a great desire to become a ‘‘much Melican man.’’ With that his principal object in view for the time be- ing, he spent. his leisure time out with the men who were blasting out stumps. On one occasion he got too close to the lighted fuse and nearly got himself in shape to be carted back to China in a gunny sack, or what was left of him, anyhow. Apparently his desire to be a ‘‘much Melican man’’ had not sub- sided, and one day he observed some street ear men climbing poles to adjust the wires. Our Chinaman made himself a climbing out- fit and proceeded to climb the first young tree in sight. He succeeded in getting up a short distance when all of a sudden some- thing struck the earth close to the tree with a dull thud. The Chinaman was forthwith carted off to the hospital. fF ‘3 e } oe a Oe (Ee ae AI a a ee of Es : eb RMS ieee z g C3 a 4 ie ‘ 4 OE emma é pee Sarees a ee =e hs lice @ : ie ae ee EEO EOEOEEEeeeeO FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1906. ‘ ‘ Colored Girl Causes Commotion North, South,, East and West in these When such an intolerant spirit United States of ours there is more or common to-the homes, is freely, fi less contention on the part of the quently and fully discussed at the fi Anglo-Saxon citizen toward according sides of practically all of the hom ‘to the Afro-American citizens the of the Anglo-Saxon of the Unit God-given rights, which they are sup- ‘States, it is perfectly natural that t posed to possess, the same having been appearance of a Negro girl in a lar inherited. from’ the’ Constitution and school of learning for the elite Ang guarantedd’ to them by the protecting Saxon girls and boys of the state, wh folds of Old Glory. Some genius, eith- such Negro girl seeks to enter su ef through malice aforethought or in a an institution on complete terms’ Spirit of innocent ridicule, coined the social equality would create: a wil expression, “All coons look alive to commotion’ among the inmates and | Larue aaa haa RaaaS oe OA RE Sa 7 -_* i @ean 4 MISS ALMA J. CLARK me,” which more liberally interpreted meant to convey the idea that all Ne- groes not only looked alike, but acted alike, and none could stand thé test in a comparison with the Caucasian. That theory was so generally exploited that the Negro, whether good or bad, intelligent or ignorant, cultured or coarse, rich or poor, was simply a nig- ger, darkey or coon, and all of them were placed in one class. The coun- try went wild over President Roose- yelt inviting Dr. Booker T. Washing- ton, the noted Negro educator, to dine with him. Not because it doubted tne fact that Dr. Washington was even the president’s intellectual superior and quite his peer in every respect, but because Dr. Washington, despite: his accomplishments, was a “nigger” and it was insulting the dignity of the “white man” of the United States for .the chief executive to admit on terms of social equality a man with a black face, though he might, be a second Jesus Christ. But the broad-minded cosmopolitan citizen knows and pub- licly admits now that the “country” was wrong. = The white residents of a select com- munity are thrown into a feverish state of commotion if the elegant home recently erected there and into which such magnificent furniture was sent, if after the last load a carriage bearing the owner’s family is driven up and from behind curtained windows the curious neighbors discover that the faces of its occupants are black—in other words, they are “niggers,” and something will be doing quick and soon. They may be cultured and re- fined, sober and seclusive, and, in short, possess all the qualities that go to make up an ideal neighbor; but because they are Negroes those qualifications . count for naught. That such a spirit is no part of a Christian, or a gentleman, or a good citizen, even those who foster it must and even do admit. “For the law forces no one to either associate or make a companion of any one, though he or she be your next door neighbor, unless both are willing. It takes two to make a bargain. The streets are large enough for the two to pass and repass and that, too, for a life time without ever so much as showing the’ first point of recognition. » When such an intolerant spirit is common to -the homes, is freely, fre- quently and fully discussed at the fire- sides of practically all of the homes of the Anglo-Saxon of the United States, it is perfectly natural that the appearance of a Negro girl in a large school of learning for the elite Anglo- Saxon girls and boys of the state, when such Negro girl seeks to enter such an institution on complete terms’ of social equality: would create: a wild- commotion among the inmates and all but incite them to rebellion, and even warrant the extremists: on this sub- ject to feel justified in leaving the school if the Negro pupil be permitted to matriculate. Such a school condi- tion prevailed at the State Normal Schivol’ at ‘Bellingham last Monday, when Miss Alma J. Clark, a young Negro girl of Seattle, who last June graduated from the high school of Se- attle, knocked at the door for admis- sion. Without stopping to inquire as to the young lady’s mental, ‘moral or mathematical qualifications, the young ladies saw her face, which was not of the same complexion as theirs, and the newcomer was “branded a nigger; darkey or coon, and not the proper kind of an animal to associate with “white girls,” and she could not pos- sess a sufficient amount of good quali- fications to overcome her dark face, at least in the minds of some of them. Such a spirit is hostile to good gov- ernment and if upheld by the authori- ties establishes a dangerous precedent as well as a world of worry. Had Miss Clark been able to have stepped be- hind the scene and commanded “presto change” and her complexion become white and her good qualifications as- sumed the complexion of her face her opposers would have exclaimed: “Oh, we beg your pardon.” Then in their inner. circles, when Miss Clark in her changed condition would have gone to her room, they would have reasoned together and concluded, this girl seems to have been unfortunate. Both her THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN PRINCIPAL. E. T. MATHES character and reputation seem a bit shady, but she has taken a step in. the right direction. Therefore let's give her our moral support and she may yet be an ornament to society and a jewel in the circle of motherhood. But her complexion could not be changed, for He, who doeth all things for the best, had made it so, and with it neith- er character nor reputation played any part. But those young white ladies were not to blame for what they did and said, they had been taught it from babyhood, and Miss Clark should not entertain a single thought of en- mity against even the most pronounced ones in opposition to her entering the school. For, in a short time they themselves will realize ‘their mistake, ‘and though they may never publicly express it, they. will demonstrate it t- her in.a thousand and one little ways that will bé much more ‘gratifying than had such rebellious pupils been expelled from school. oe If the heads of. all. public: institu- tions would but take the same firm stand on the mooted race question of this.country as did Principal Edward 'T. Mathes, who unhesitatingly made the young colored lady feel that her rights. would be fully protected in his hands, there would be less such inter- racial upheavals. While Prof, Mathes but did his plain duty, nevertheless he did it so completely that every Ne- gro in this country, as well as every Caucasian who wants to see all man- ner of man have a square deal, should feel everlastingly grateful. It might not be out of place in this connection to remark that Miss Alma J. Clark, the young lady in question, is a young lady of unspotted charac- ter. Her parents, who have lived in Seattle for seventeen years, stand the peer of any family in the city for morality and general good citizenship. The lives of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Clark have been and are devoted to church work, and their children, one and all, are following in their footsteps. And after all, Miss Alma is not so deeply colored as she might have. been under different circumstances, as will be seen from an accompanying likeness of her. herein.

The graduates sent out from the school in the past stand well, and the army of students now there come from some of the best families in the state, and it is here predicted that their recent experience cf having to confront the legal rights of the Negro by apparentiy having to be placed on a complete social plain with a Negro girl will make them more broad .gauged in the battle of life, more cosmopolitan in dealing with their fellow men, and finally much more willing to give and take with “man” without regard to color, com- plexion, nationality or previous condi- tion.

The city council shall, by general ordinance, provide the manner in which the aforesaid improvements may be made, and prescribe all needful regulations for the exercise by the city of the power granted and contained in the foregoing subdivision of this section; provided, that in all cases in which the whole or any portion of the cost and expense of any such improvement is to be defrayed by the collection of a special assessment upon the property specially benefited thereby, the following proceedings shall be taken, viz.: There must be presented to the board of public works a written petition setting forth the street or streets, lane or lanes, alley or alleys, squares or places, or parts thereof to be improved, the nature of the improvement, the mode of payment and the fact that the signers are the owners of the property to be benefited by such improvement to the aggregate amount of a majority of the special assessment to be levied therefor according to the transfer books in the office of the county auditor. 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 it 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 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.

Every ordinance ordering any improvement mentioned in this section shall establish a local improvement district to be called 'Local Improvement District No. —' which district shall embrace, as near as may be, all the property specially benefited by such improvement. Unless otherwise provided in such ordinance, such district shall be deemed to include all the property between the termini of said improvement, abutting upon, adjacent or proximate to the street, lane, alley, avenue, place or square proposed to be improved to a distance back from the marginal line thereof to the center line of the blocks facing thereon; provided, that in any case the distance back from the street shall be at least ninety (90) feet; and provided further, that in the case of unplatted property, the distance back from the margin of the same, for purposes of assessment, shall be the same distance as that included in the assessment of the platted lands immediately adjacent thereto, and all property included within said limits of such local improvement district shall be considered and held to be the property specially benefited by such local improvement, and shall be the property to be assessed to pay the property to be assessed to pay the proportion thereof as may be chargeable benefit by such improvement, which cost and expense shall be assessed upon all of said property so benefited in proportion to the separate and special benefit conferred on such property by reason of its area and particular location within the district. Said local improvement district shall, for the purpose of assessing the cost of such improvement, in proportion to the separate and special benefits conferred, be divided into four subdivisions to be numbered respectively, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th subdivisions.

The fourth subdivision shall include all lands lying between a line drawn parallel with and ninety (90) feet from said street margin and the outer limit of said local improvement district, as hereinabove described. If the areas of each of the four subdivisions are equal, there shall be assessed against the first subdivision 40 per centum of the whole cost, against the second subdivision 25 per centum of the whole cost, against the third subdivision 20 per centum of the whole cost, and against the fourth subdivision 15 per centum of the whole cost. If the areas are unequal, the rates fixed for each subdivision shall be fixed on the basis that the benefits conferred on a square foot of land in subdivisions first, second, third and fourth respectively, are related to each other as are the numbers 40, 25, 20 and 15 respectively. 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. All notices of hearing on assessment rolls shall clearly specify that at such hearing the council will proceed to confirm all assessments shown thereon, or lower, raise or otherwise modify or alter the same, as in its discretion may be deemed just.

Be it resolved by the city council of the city of Seattle as follows: That subdivision 2 of section 11 of article VIII. of the city charter of the city of Seattle be amended so as to read as follows: "Subdivision 2. The city council shall, by general ordinance, provide the manner in which the aforesaid improvements may be made, and prescribe all needful regulations for the exercise by the city of the power granted and contained in the foregoing subdivision of this section; provided, that in all cases in which the whole or any portion of the cost and expense of any such improvement is to be defrayed by the collection of a special assessment upon the property specially benefited thereby, the following proceedings shall be taken, viz.: There must be presented to the board of public works a written petition setting forth the street or streets, lane or lanes, alley or alleys, squares or places, or parts thereof to be improved, the nature of the improvement, the mode of payment and the fact that the signers are the owners of such improvement to the aggregate amount of a majority of the special assessment to be levied therefor according to the transfer books in the office of the county auditor. 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. And be it further resolved, that the foregoing amendment be and the same is hereby submitted to the qualified voters of the city of Seattle for their ratification or rejection at the next general election to be held the 6th day of March, 1906.

Said local improvement district shall, for the purpose of assessing the cost of such improvement, in proportion to the separate and special benefits conferred, be divided into four subdivisions to be numbered respectively, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th subdivisions.

If the areas are unequal, the rates fixed for each subdivision shall be fixed on the basis that the benefits conferred on a square foot of land in subdivisions first, second, third and fourth respectively, are related to each other as are the numbers 40, 25, 20 and 15 respectively. 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. All notices of hearing on assessment rolls shall clearly specify that at such hearing the council will proceed to confirm all assessments shown thereon, or lower, raise or otherwise modify or alter the same, as in its discretion may be deemed just.
