The Rainier Valley has a brave lot of women. A car went off of the track at Columbia last Saturday morning and not one of the many women passengers left the car during all the excitement. JOHN RIPLINGER. Who Seeks the Mayoralty Nomination. After considerable casting about for a mayoralty candidate, the Republicans have finally decided to name John Riplinger, who has been twice elected city comptroller, each time leading his ticket, as their standard bearer against the candidacy of William Hickman Moore, the Fusion candidate. That he has always been the choice of a great majority of the Republicans for the mayoralty nomination is a well known fact, though he himself was averse to entering the fight, feeling that he was well satisfied with the position of comptroller. When the other aspirants for the mayoralty nomination saw that they were unable to arouse sufficient enthusiasm in their mayoralty candidacy to warrant them to remain in the race, they themselves began to cast about for a candidate, and after much thought and consideration decided that John Riplinger was the man that could lead his party to success, and they therefore, in a body, went to him and demanded that he accept the nomination, which he did with reluctancy. Aught, as a public servant, cannot be said against John Riplinger. It can be said without any fear whatever of being contradicted, that no man ever elected to a public office has given more general satisfaction than John Riplinger. Never in the history of the comptroller's office was the comptroller admired by all classes of citizens as is Mr. Riplinger today, and if present popularity is in any way indicative of the public pulse, he will be elected on the 6th of March by the biggest majority ever given to a mayoralty candidate in Seattle. Some one has intimated that Riplinger is the Piper-Clancy candidate and that if elected those two worn-out politicians would run the SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1906 Lawyers for the most part are always anxious for new cases, but Col. Bob Lindsey, the well known dramatic lawyer, has so many cases that he is dead anxious to let some other attorney have as many of his cases as he is willing to pay for. We are puzzled to understand why Prof. Bunker would again take up the hum-drum of teaching school after his talking experience, especially since there are so many dime museums in the country that would pay him twice or three times as much if he would only occupy a chair in their places every evening while the crowds go by. When Jackson street is regraded and the electric company can run its large cars on the Rainier Heights line, the company will probably extend its tracks down the lake shore to Rainier Beach. The Rainier valley is filling up very rapidly and the Seattle, Renton & Southern is about taxed to its full capacity, making a second street car line necessary to accommodate the freight and passenger business. The Washington street town, as they did under the Humes administrations. Such talk is too silly to be refuted. Mr. Riplinger knows and knows full well that to reinstate that mob into power could result in nothing but his political death soon- JOHN RIPLINGER JOHN RIPLINGER er or later, and he is not looking for a club to get somebody else to beat him over the head with it until he is too dead to ever be resurrected again. Then, again, it looks very much like George Piper is a good deal more anxious to see Billy Moore elected than he is John Riplinger, for if Moore is elected he feels absolutely certain that Seattle will be made a wide open town at once, and it is PRICE FIVE CENTS counterweight is a great drawback to tnau line. At the annual dinner of the Confederate Veteran Camp of New York, at the Waldorf-Astoria last week, the audience broke into "unrestrained cheering" when F. Hopkinson Smith, the Southern novelist, speaking on "Old Plantation Days," said, "Let us teach these (Afro-Americans) to be our friends; never our equals." You wouldn't think that a lot of intelligent people, mostly Southerners, would shriek themselves blue in the face, with the strains of "Dixie" percolating through it all, over an absurd sentiment like that, but they did. Outside of the family relation friendship is the very highest tie that binds people together, and it cannot subsist except between equals. For our part, F. Hopkinson Smith and his sort can teach us nothing but hatred and contempt of him and his sort. The white Southerner in New York and Chicago makes himself a nuisance and a bore by flaunting always in the face of others his narrow prejudices of race, which stamp him as an unconscious vulgarian.—N. Y. Age. highly probable that Piper would be the great mogul of the administration. There is not the slightest bit of doubt but that when Mr. Riplinger will have been nominated and elected mayor of this city, he will endeavor to carry out the Ballinger policy. He would do this, even if he did not wholly believe in it (but he does), because a great majority of the voters seem to favor it, and the popular politician is so because he always keeps his ear to the ground to cater to the wishes of a majority of the voters when he is in office. Riplinger is no fool, and even those who oppose him will not deny this, which is sufficient evidence that he will so shape his administration that he will be able to continue the people's popular candidate for whatever office he may aspire to hold. The charge of the Times that Riplinger has a slate for the various offices already made out is just as false as anything else the Times has ever printed, and that is saying a good deal. Now that he has been persuaded to enter the fight for the mayoralty nomination, he is making his fight for that nomination and that nomination alone, and is not interesting himself in anybody else's affairs. There is also no more truth in the charge of the Times that the P.-I. will bolt the Republican nominees than of the other innumerable prevarications that it has from time to time published about Republican politics and politicians. The big Republican daily will support the party nominees loyally, and that it has assured its best friends. The Times itself is withohlding the support it intends to give Billy Moore just now for no other reason than to be able to gather up a few shekels from those foolish Republicans who hope to buy it into supporting the Republican ticket. The Times will support Moore, notwithstanding the fact that it has denounced municipal ownership from time to time, because it knows Moore is no more municipal ownership than any other corporation lawyer.. The corporations spent $40,000 to elect Moore to the State Senate, and it is not recorded thatt he Pacific Coast Company will not be to the front with another large sum of money to elect him to the mayoralty chair of Seattle. POLITICAL POT-PIE The Seattle Republican predicted in its last issue that the recent spasmodic issue of the Bee, after a six years' sleep, would give Walter Griffin sufficient excuse to start out to collect subscriptions from the unsuspecting public on the same for another six years, and true to the prediction, he is now around town tackling everybody and his brother for the price of a subscription or any amount they will give and writing them a subscription receipt for the same. Every dollar he gets as a subscription to the Bee is obtaining that much money under false pretenses and he can and should be arrested on a felonious charge and it does seem that the authorities would see to it that such criminals be apprehended and put on trial for their misdeeds. The printing concern that got the recent issue of the Bee out for him was stuck for the work which amounted to $75.00 and a law firm is now trying to find a statute under which criminal proceedings can be started against him. This man is not a dangerous criminal, but he is also a disgrace to the Negro race, as well as a disgrace to the entire state and his methods are too raw and criminal for him to continue at large. One evening this week Griffin was around town collecting subscriptions as usual and with his accustomed insolent but-in methods he accosted a well known politician, who was having a pleasant evening with some Eastern friends and so obnoxious did he make himself in their presence that the politician used his big hickory club over Griffin's head and he measured his length on the floor. He threatened as he left the place on a trot to go and get a gun, but when he got away he felt too weak to return to renew the two dollar demand. * * * The avowed candidates for city comptroller at this writing are Ed. Melse and Harry Carroll, both deputies in the office at the present time. There is growing sentiment, however, to send that nomination to some other faction of the party and it may go to the old Ninth ward in which case A. J. Goddard is the most likely candidate. * * * The fight for city treasurer is still being hotly contested with at least a dozen candidates in the field. At this writing George F. Russell seems to have the best of the fight, though there are a number of other candidates that are making it very interesting for him. Jim Anderson seems to be his closest second while Sanders, Hanna and Appleton are all doing good work for themselves. Owing to the big howl that has been made against the City Hall brigade hogging everything in sight, there is strong feeling among the leading Republicans to send both the nomination for city comptroller and city THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN treasurer outside of the City Hall, in which case a new man for city treasurer would be trotted out and nominated almost without effort. *** Notwithstanding the talk about the City Hall brigade, Scott Calhoun, who is one of the most popular young men in the city, will be nominated without an opposing vote. [Name] ALBERT J. GODDARD Whose Candidacy for City Comptroller Is Announced. During the time he has been in office he has given a splendid account of his stewardship and the Republicans one and all believe he is at least entitled to another two years. * * * The Pie-maker is still of the opinion that Frank P. Mullen will be renominated for councilman-at-large without opposition. Rude will doubtless be nominated, but he will not pull through so easily as will Mullen. The G. A. R. men have petitioned W. F. Hurd to enter the fight and his name will doubtless go before the convention, but starting as late as he did he will have to do some tall hustling to make a showing. But it matters not who the Republican nominees may be at least one of them will have to hustle for Mathew Dow is a very popular candidate and a great many Republicans will give him a vote just for past friendship sake. Had Dow been nominated for mayor instead of Moore he would have given the Republican nominee a great run for his money. * * * As was predicted by the Pie-maker some three weeks ago, James Conway, the present councilman from the First ward, will be nominated by the Republicans to succeed himself. He was elected on the Democratic ticket two years ago, but he has acted with the Republicans ever since, and it has been believed all along that the Republicans did not desire to see him beaten and would therefore nominate him to succeed himself. Tommy Navin, however, will give him a hard fight. *** The fight in the Second ward is now between W. H. Vincent and H. L. Jaffe for the nomination of councilman, and Vincent says he has no fears of the outcome. Councilman Johnson has been driven completely out of the race. The opposition party has nominated a very strong man for councilman in the person of A. F. Haas, but it transpires that he is ineligible and therefore an- FRIDAY, FEB. 9, 1906. other man will doubtless have to be put up, which means the Republicans, if it happens to be Vincent or Jaffe, will be elected by a great big majority. In the Third ward, so far as the Republican convention is concerned, H. C. Gill still has it all his way. He will be the nominee, and, in view of the fact that the voters look upon Kulies as a huge political joke, inasmuch as he is always getitng the nomination for something and never getting enough votes to realize that he also ran, which means that Hi will have a walk-away at the polls. In the Fourth, Dr. Ghent has decided to make the fight for the nomination against Francis Sawyer, but the latter has the politicians so well lined up that Dr. Ghent will not be in it for a single minute. The Democrats have nominated Alpheus Byers to oppose the Republican nominee, and if there ever was an insignificant political snot it is that man Byers. If the Republican who votes for him does not feel so mean ten minutes thereafter that he will be small enough to crawl through the keyhole of a door, then the drinks are on us. UNTIL JANUARY 15 25°.

The opposing candidate is not very generally known, and therefore nomination up there will be equal to election. Arnold Zbinden is still without opposition in the Sixth and he will be the unanimous choice of the Republicans at the convention. His Democratic opponent seems to not be drawing very much water thus far and Zbinden has no fears of him at the polls. The Seventh ward continues in a complicated and cshaotic state. The candidates for councilman are J. C. Redward, T. P. Revelle, L. H. Gray and a number of dark horse candidates.

It is claimed that the Democratic nominee is receiving outside aid and will give him a battle royal at the polls, yet no one doubts for a single minute, but that Murphy will go through like a half-slide in deep snow. There are still an army of candidates in the Tenth, and, being a new proposition, it is hard to prognosticate on the situation. The same is true of the Eleventh The business men who live in the Seventh ward have been casting about for weeks to bring out a candidate for councilman from that ward whom they believe would correctly represent the ward in the next council, and one whom all factions in the ward could support without friction.

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 City comptroller City comptroller. Corporation counsel. City treasurer. Two (2) councilman-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.

GEORGE M. RUSSELL, Secretary. city. He never does business with a man or a concern but what he makes a friend of him. In that part of the Seventh ward where he lives, no man is more generally liked than he, and it is here’ predicted that, if nominated and elected, he will give the Seventh ward the best representation in the council it has ever had. Some opposing candidate has already tried to injure his chances of nomination by de- claring him to be the candidate of the corpor- ations, While it is true that he worked for various corporations, yet it was only in the capacity of a freight agent for either the Great Northern or an Alaska steamship com- pany, and he had nothing whatever to do with the political policy of such concerns, yea, not only had nothing to do with their political policy, but knew absolutely nothing about it. He is now conducting a business for himself, which business is in no wise so hooked up with any street car or railroad company as to cause him to be unduly friend- ly or partial to their interests. The man is so generally admired and liked by all who have had any dealings with him, or an op- portunity to in any way meet him, that it is an insult to even think that he might be a corporation fondling, let alone to say that he is. In speaking to him about his candi- dacy and the policy he would follow if elect- ed, he said: ‘‘I would endeavor to do what a majority of the people would seem to want on all public questions, but, in case some- thing would come up and have to be acted upon before I could consult with my con- stituents, then I would do what in my judg- ment would seem for the best interest of the ward and the city in general. I am deeply interested in the Commercial prosperity of the city and I naturally would do everything within my power to keep the city in a pros- perous condition. I am no politician and I consented to stand for this nomination sim- ply because my friends have asked me to do so, but if I am successful I will give them the best in my shop in the way of repre- sentation in the City Council.’’ THE PASSING THRONG The President has ordered an investiga- tion of the Valencia disaster. When the in- quiry is completed the people will know as much as they do now, but probably no more. The captain got lost and took chances on going ahead and unfortunately ran on the rocks with the resulting frightful loss of life. Whether the Queen and other boats did what they could to save the passengers is a question that will forever remain in dispute, for the witnesses differ in their opinions. The captain being in heaven, there is no one left to punish and were he alive, there would already be an abundance of evidence to send him to the pen. We can, from the inquiry already made, give Uncle Sam what we consider a valuable pointer. Take the office of inspector out of politics and enact a rigid prohibition law for all vessels. The Great Forests of Uncle Sam.—The forests of the United States have a value surpassing belief and far exceeding that shown by any other nation. Our forests - ual a peel lle uh el ou clea Aa mn ech lea eas SA C7 ll lara tae THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN cover 699,500,000 acres or 3644 per cent of the territory of continental United States. The lumber industry is fourth among our national industries; Uncle Sam’s yearly tim- ber cutting is over $560,000,000, or more GEORGE F. RUSSELL, Candidate for City Treasurer than the yearly production of all our met- als: gold, silver, iron, copper, lead, platinum, zine, aluminum, tin and nickel. The prodigal‘waste in our forests has been one of the crimes of the nation. Our forests need ‘‘protection’’; there has been too much “‘free trade,’ ruthless destruction which has been so stupendous that an eminent author- ity says that in thirty years we will prac- tically have the native timber of the country depleted. The stand of timber in our forests is only one-tenth what it would be in properly man- aged forests. Uncle Sam has awakened to the value of scientific forestry; he has re- formed. Arbor Day is observed in every State but Delaware, and is a legal holiday in seven States; forest commissions have been appointed in many of the States; a National Bureau of Forests takes charge of forest re- serves aggregating 97,192,573 acres, or three times the size of England. The United States uses, probably, as much wood yearly as the entire rest of the nations combined and at least six or seven times more dressed lumber per capita than Great Britain. Two-thirds of the people of the United States use wood for fuel and one- half live in wooden houses. Railroad ties swallow up forests rapidly for the country uses 100,000,000 ties a year. The country’s daily manufacture of lead pencils, 1,728,000, uses up 500,000 acres of forest a year; one single pencil firm trans- forms 125,000 cedar trees into pencils. Flor- ida’s forests supply cedar for all Europe’s high-grade pencils. Four million feet of our pine is made year- ly into matches; shoe pegs absorb the prod- uct of fully 3,000 acres of forests. Less than one per cent of the yearly output of the nation’s forests is converted into paper pulp by the country’s 1,100 pulp mills; it thus takes about a billion feet of lumber a year to feed the nation’s presses.—Selected. FRIDAY, FEB. 9, 1906. Horace C. Henry, a Seattle contractor, has secured the contract to put another hole through the Cascade mountains like unto the one he put through for the Great Northern and it is to be for another trans-continental railroad headed for Seattle. For such work a more efficient contractor in the United States could not be found. That he will do the work with dispatch and neatness other work that he has accomplished of a similar nature will serve as splendid witnesses. Mr. Henry is one of Seattle’s most substantial business men and his name has been repeat- edly mentioned in connection with the may- oralty nomination and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that, if he would permit the use of his name in that connection even now the Republican conven- tion would nominate him without a dissent- ing vote, but he will not listen to it for a minute. In fact it almost insults him to speak to him about it. The leading men of Seattle are always kicking about the poor city officials and yet they absolutely and unqualifiedly refuse to lend any aid toward bettering the sad state of affairs that the city from time to time is compelled to ac- cept. Those Republicans who will be dis- satisfied at the next Republican nominees for the city election will find cold comfort in supporting Billy Moore and his associates. If Moore is elected it begins to look as if the city for the next two years will be at the merey of the most desperate gang that has ever disgraced a city. Thousands of dollars’ worth of valuable presents are pouring into the White House for Miss Alice Roosevelt, who is to be mar- ried in the very near future to Nicholas Longsworth, a member of the House of Rep- resentatives of Congress. Evidently the American people as well as those foreigners who are besieging this couple with their of- ferings, labor under the delusion that to him that has more shall be given. Miss Roose- velt will inherit from her father’s estate in her own name conservatively estimated a million dolars. Mr. Longsworth is himself a multi-millionaire and despite all of this persons so poor that they do not know hardly where their next meal is coming from and certainly do not know where their next month’s rent will be found are sending val- uable presents to the White House just to keep up with the procession. This young couple, if young they be, is no more deserv- ing of all the fuss and feathers that are being made over their wedding than any other plain plodding American citizens and when it is those doing so are but lending a hand to the creating of a nobility in this country. President Theodore Roosevelt is the first man of the land, but Theodore Roosevelt in the garb of a citizen is on an equal footing with the poorest citizen of the United States. His family is no more to be worshipped than any other good family and when otherwise it is creating a wrong idea in the minds of the rising generation. Miss Roosevelt is a noble girl and Mr. Longsworth is to be congratulated in having won her heart and hand and that’s all that is neces- sary to be said. For the past eight years or more the United States has enjoyed a period of prosperity and every person who works have shared in this prosperity. The union laborers have FRIDAY, FEB. 9, 1906. gotten more than their share of this prosperity and yet they are now taking the lead in trying to throw the commercial prosperity of the whole country in a chaotic state by ordering a general strike April 1st next. This heartless labor trust, more dangerous by far than the money trust, has always been the beginning of all the financial troubles in the United States and the sooner the government takes steps to completely squelsh the whole organization out of existence the better for the entire country. When one stops and considers of the evils of both the labor and the money trusts he is almost fit to say the Socialists after all are nearer right than either of them. It was but yesterday that the writer heard a prominent Republican politician of Seattle, who can be rightfully classed as a medium between these two extremes, that he thought he would vote for the Socialist candidates in the coming municipal election, not that he believed in a single principle they advocate, but because both of the other parties were boss ridden to death and those bosses directed all of their energies toward either serving the labor or the money trusts. The people's interest gave them no concern. If the union labor orders a general strike the general government would do well to call out the entire standing army and order the soldiers to shoot and to shoot to kill if the strikers made the first move toward rioting. "Sawciety" the country over is receiving a seree jolt in the trial of Col. Mann of Town Topics. It has always been the talk among the middle and the poorer classes that the rich folk who chased the society phantom was nothing more or less than a nest of immoral wretches, who, if they had their just desserts would be sent to the penitentiary rather than to fashionable clubs. Col. Mann seems to have been of a like opinion and he therefore having some facts and figures at his disposal started Town Topics with no other purpose but to make those criminal wretches put up large sums of money to him to keep him from exposing them in his paper. Of course it was dirty black-mail, but the colonel doubtless thought he was no worse than the society gang and it was a case of diamond cut diamond. While New York was being shaken from center to circumference over the Mann trial, the Times of this city last Sunday all but accused Mrs. J. C. Haines, a well known society leader in Seattle, who long since expended all of her wherewithal to keep her afloat in "sawciety" and started a paper, Week's End, as a source of revenue, and conducting it along the lines as was Town Topics, found it what she needed in her business. Whether or not the Times has any grounds for its attack on Week's End this paper is wholly ignorant, but Mrs. Haines seems to have published stories in her sheet using fictitious names that savored very much of "a nigger in the wood pile," using a common street term. The Seattle Evangelical Ministers' Federation has placed the ban on Jewish ministers and Unitarians becoming members of their organization, which has called out heated discussions pro and con. The Federation is absolutely correct in drawing the line on both of the above organizations, for, if it did THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN not, its actions would belie its name. It did not draw the line on the Jew because he was a Jew, but because he was not of the evangelical belief and the same is applicable to the Unitarians or any other organization that does not subscribe to the doctrines it stands for. Those evangelical preachers who have made so much fuss in defense of the Jews have done so more as a play to the galleries than for right. No one will deny but that both the Jews and the Unitarians do just as much and perhaps more for fallen humanity than any of the evangelical societies; no one will deny but that they do as much, if not more, for charity than any of them, but they do not subscribe to evangelicalism and that of itself bars them from taking any part in an organization of the name and nature of the above. The motives of the reverend gentleman, who made such a great fight to not have the Jews and the Unitarians excluded from the organization were, in the opinion of the writer, selfish and by no means at the request of either of the organizations and it is not generally believed that either of them thanked them in a single instance for what they said and did in the matter. While this paper does not make a practice of discussing the financial misfortunes of any one, yet it can hardly refrain from saying a word on the recent bankruptcy proceeding through which a prominent Seattle citizen went through, which was none other than Fredrick Clifford Gasch, better known as Fred Gasch. Mr. Gasch has been a resident of this city for thirty-one years. He has seen the town grow from a village to a mighty city and is still not a very old man and will, unless some misfortune unforeseen overtake him, see it grow to be a still greater city before he passes in his checks. He for a time grew with the city and for years was considered a very wealth man. He built brick blocks and was high up in the commercial affairs of the city. But one day he got politically ambitious and began to lay his plans to be county commissioner. He was successful and for eight years he was the most talked of man in the county. So prominent did he become that he was talked of for governor of the state. He finally retired from public office and his enemies declared he had made himself a millionaire while in office and even his best friends believed he was beyond financial want. But he has just said under oath that he is a bankrupt and unable to pay his obligations. He who wrote "one half of the world does not know what the other is doing" wrote truly. It must be a severe shock on the nerves of men who, after toiling all their lives, find they are poor, old and only in the way. Under the laws of the State of California, cities are not responsible for any injuries sustained on account of defective streets or sidewalks. In San Francisco, which is not generally known, the city and county are combined and governed by a board of supervisors consisting of a dozen or more members. These supervisors are required to give bonds for the faithful discharge of their duties. Some two years ago a resident of that city was injured on a defective sidewalk and an action for damages was instituted against the supervisors and their bondsman which resulted in a verdict and judgment for the plaintiff for five thousand dollars. The case was taken to the supreme court, where the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. As soon as this test case was decided, actions were commenced aggregating claims for more than two hundred thousand dollars, from which we infer the supervisors are having a right lively time in defending their negligent acts. Some of the supervisors threatened to resign, but how many have done so we are not informed. The chances are against any resignations in that corrupt and grafting city. The Editor hereof has received a communication from a Bellingham citizen referring to the article under the caption of "Colored Girl Canses Commotion," and while it was not written for publication, it is so eminently fair that, without waiting to get the gentleman's consent, we are giving our readers the benefit of the same. The communication runs as follows: Editor Seattle Republican: In your issue of February 2nd, I notice an article on "A Colored Girl Causes Commotion" in which the entrance of Alma J. Clark into Normal School here and the right of colored people generally to educational privileges is pretty well discussed. As a matter of fact, the excitement, or the supposed excitement, caused by this young woman's entrance into the Bellingham Normal was a newspaper excitement, and I am very glad that your paper has published the article in question, so that the school may be placed in the proper light to the people of the state, and especially before the colored people. I do not know the name of the person who prepared this article for your paper, but I am desirous of knowing so that I can compliment him on his fairness in presenting the matter. If it would not be violating a confidence, would you please give me the name of the author in question. Yours very truly, EMERSON E. WHITE. The article was prepared by the editor hereof after reading an article from a Bellingham paper and after having talked with the young man who accompanied Miss Clark to the school. Personally, we know neither Professor Mathes or any member of the faculty, nor a single student attending the school. In the article we but repeated our position on what many of us are pleased to erroneously term the "race question" of this country. The Negro is in no position to strut around with a chip on his shoulder, nor is he in a position to take exceptions to every slight insult that is offered him on account of his color. Let him remember that the Caucasian race has rights that must be respected as well as himself. Suppose the other guests of an inn, hotel or restaurant do refuse to sit at a table with him, it is no concern of his, just so he is permitted to sit at one of the tables and eat his meals undisturbed or even unnoticed. That's their right. So many persons, both white and black, get social equality and citizenship equality so badly confounded that they do not seem to know where the one ends and the other begins. All the Negro should want is a square deal, not socially, but in the great battle of life.

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 ex- ceed a certain higher percentage.

In those cities where an active in- terest is taken in a Sunday Club by Afro-Americans, no organization among them has been more fraught with good results in the way of mutual benefit than it, and there seems to be no good and sufficient reason why it could not be made a success in Seattle, even if it did not meet more than once a month. The principal drawbacks to all organizations where Negroes take the lead is the poor attendance. The first meetings are full and overflowing, but they fall by the wayside soon there- after and the organization is naturally short-lived. There are, however, quite a few very anxious to try a Sunday Club in Seattle, and are giving it some considerable consideration, WELCOME The D.
