What have they done with it? promises to become as famous as. Who cut the stick? From recent papers filed in the King County Superior Court there will be Piles of dough for the lawyers in the late John Sullivan estate. Cleveland's beginning of his three score and ten years does not seem to detract any from his desire to be president of the United States again. Unless County Commissioner P. J. Smith and the Post-Intelligencer get together they will soon be involved in a heated discussion over "What Have They Done With It?" Jim Wickersham may eventually win and be confirmed as a federal judge of Alaska, but the contest has been so bitter that, it strikes us, his usefulness as a judge has been ruined. White House white wash is being advocated by those who do white washing as something great and it must be, if it's the same kind that was used on Gen. Leonard Wood by the White House director in trying to justify his Moro massacre. Hanna Callaghan was absolutely correct in declaring on her death bed she had nothing to will, as she had not paid up her lawyers and she evidently knew when that was done there would be nothing left for either her or any relative she might leave behind. There is scarcely an incorporated city in the United States just now whose city officials are not accused of being in collusion with private concerns to rob the taxpayers of the municipality. What on earth has suddenly come over the progeny of honest John Alden and Precilla? The managers of the House of Good Shepherd should not expect to prevent the putting of a regular street through the grounds even though it would spoil a beautiful plot. The proposed site is in the heart of a beau- --- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1906 tiful resident community and to not put the street through would mean the discommoding of the entire community. Schools and institutions that want such elbow room as this school is holding out for should move to the suburbs. No institution or school should expect to occupy more than one block in a thickly settled community or in a growing city. The bartenders, of Seattle, favor the closing of the saloons on Sunday and a majority of the up-town saloons will not object to this action on the part of Mayor-elect Moore. Man, no matter in what engaged, naturally desires one day's rest in seven. They have been trained to expect it from childhood. The frontier may for a time ignore the day, but as the more advanced civilized doctrines are injected into life, the old set customs of frontier days crumble before the new area of events. The stores first recognized the inevitable and the saloon is gradually forced to obey the mandate—six days shalt thou labor.—Davenport Tribune. If other business houses are able to make both ends meet by closing their doors on Sunday, saloons can do it, and if they cannot do so, let them go out of business. BLICAN ILLIGENCE P.I. ENTORNAL S. E. G. --- THE SUNDAY FORUM Each meeting of the Sunday Forum seems to be just a little bit better than the preceding one. In other words, the move grows a little stronger each time it meets. The critic, who is of the opinion that the organizing of the Forum was for a selfish purpose on the part of some one, but exhibits those characteristics that have for hundreds of years retarded the progress of the Negro race in the United States. Suppose some one of the race does profit individually on account of the existence of the organization, what harm would that do the other members thereof? If the organization has any specific object in view it is to accomplish that very thing. At this very time it has a committee out with the view of making it possible to place a number of Afro-Americans in positions of trust and honor, which they do not and have never before filled in this city. If it succeeds in placing just one in such a position is not that a most signal victory? Last Sunday the Forum had under consideration "The Possibilities of the Negro in the Philippine Islands." Mr. C. C. 1 LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS Is Your Name in the Book? THE INDEPENDENT TELEPHONE COMPANY CONTRACT DEPARTMENT 3151 Handcock took the lead on the subject and his views will be found elsewhere. The President was of the opinion that some of the Negroes of the United States would do well to emigrate to the islands and misceginate, if agreeable, with the natives and not only in the Philippines, but to all of the insular possessions of the United States where the darker races predominated, providing always it was perfectly agreeable to all concerned. Mr. J. E. Hawkins expressed himself as believing the Negro was a man anywhere save in the United States. He advocated a getting together on their part. Mr. Thomas Henry, a West Indian by birth, declared that in his opinion the United States was the place for the Negro and that he is doing better here than anywhere else in the world. Mr. I. F. Norris discouraged anything that savored of emigration on the part of his race, declaring this the natural home of the Negro and that while he had his trials and tribulations, if he would but stick together he would eventually succeed. Mr. Morris O'Brien added spice to the discussion by saying he was not a member of the race, but might be considered a first cousin. The Negro, he argued, had only been emancipated about forty years, while the Jews, who was once held in boudage similar to that of the Negro in this country centuries ago, and yet the Negro in his efforts to succeed was meeting no greater opposition than the Jews, if as much. He favored them remaining in the United States. Rev. Edmonds was of the belief that the Negro's lack of opportunities in the United States was due to his failure to prove himself a man under all conditions. Be a man and the Negro will be a greater success in the United States than anywhere else under the sun. Mr. W. C. Peoples argued that the hope of the race was dependend on the members thereof putting their moneys together and opening commercial enterprises. Money and business only will give the race the standing in the United States that it is deserving of. It may be slow coming, but it would come and the United States is where it will come. Mrs. Graves advanced the idea that the Negro's success either in the United States or anywhere else is dependent on his or her individual efforts. That is to say, become so efficient in whatever is undertaken that his labor or the products of his labors would be in demand. That each and every one was personally responsible as to whether he or she succeed here or elsewhere. Rev. F. L. Donohoo made the point that the Negro was to much inclined to putting on a front as if he was earning hundreds of dollars per week instead of the small salary as the most of them do. His entertainments and his general spending qualities all accounted for him being the general hewer of wood in the United States. He believed this country the place for him to stay. Mr. S. Peoples ridiculed the idea of the Negro emigrating anywhere. Statistics, he continued, showed that one fourth of the emigrants who leave Europe come to the United States and there must be something good here or they would not be flocking thither. Mr. John T. Gayton said the solution of the whole question lay in the black folk getting together and not always suspecting the other fellow's motives bad simply because you did not originate them. If any of the members of the race desire to emigrate to either the Philippines or anywhere else do so, but whether here or elsewhere hold up each others hands when they seem to be in a good cause. Others spoke feelingly on the subject and on the whole a most interesting session was the result. The next session of the Forum will be held Sunday, April 8th, and by invitation at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, corner Twenty-eighth avenue and Madison street. "Who are the friends of the race?" will be the topic for discussion and it is hoped that every one present will select some one who is their ideal in the way of developing the American Negro toward a perfect state. The meeting will be called to order at 3:45 o'clock instead of 3 o'clock, thus giving those having attended the various religious services time to go home and yet get to the Forum in time for the session. ARE THERE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE NEGRO IN THE PHILIPPINES, AND IF SO, ARE THEY SUPERIOR TO THOSE IN THE UNITED STATES? The extent of success to which any member of this vast human family attains in learning, in business, in science, in politics, or in any vocation of life, depends largely upon his or her individual aspirations and application. Opportunity is affected or afforded by our ambitions. Napoleon, who rose from the humblest Corsican, faced the greatest of diffi- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN culties, but with his manly ambitions walked over each difficulty, one by one, thereby making for himself opportunity. The American Negro has long since awakened to the realization that he is surrounded on all sides by prejudices and oppositions, that were it not for his ambitions and the encouragements received from his fewer white brothers, he would not exist. I am at present able to answer this question, which occupied my thought for many years,—'Is there any place under the canopy of heaven where the Negro is met without prejudice and oposition? Most emphatically no. If when you find a part of the world where the white man has not been, then you will find no prejudice or opposition. In the remote corners of this earth you find these conditions prevailing. They are just as prevalent in the newly acquired possessions of the United States as they are here, where the Negro received and was forced to accept a very urgent invitation to come and help fight for, cutivate and build up a country. We all know that the Negro's invitation to come to this country in the year 1620 was urgent.—it had chains and shackles on it. In the early occupation of the Philippine Islands by our government, there was a great demand for persons speaking the English language. This made it possible for American soldiers, white or black, to secure their discharges from the army in great numbers. Many of them by their thrift created opportunities which have made them rich, while others have gone from bad to worse and ended their careers on the Islands by having to be deported. Here are examples of real possibilities of the Negro in the Philippines. One, Mr. Hawkins, who was discharged from the U. S. Army, took what money he had accumulated during his term of service, bought a tract of land, and began the cultivation of tobacco and hemp. Today he is a very rich man. Messrs. Seward & Lathan, ex-soldiers, opened a livery business, and have accumulated great wealth. There are many other men of the Negro race who have met with success in the Islands, but you must consider that they were there, and prepared to take advantage of the emergency conditions, which afforded them far better opportunities than you would be afforded at this time. Many of the best-to-do and most successful white men of the Islands today are ex-soldiers. As the American Negro is a small percentage of the vast population of the Islands, his political possibilities are limited. Emigration would broaden him, but could he afford to emigrate? The undeveloped conditions of the country make the opportunities for the day-laborer all but an impossibility. Professional opportunities are very good, after one has acquired a thorough knowledge of the language. The black man is preferred to the white man, if he can prove himself equal to the opposition he must necessarily meet from his white competitors. The American Negro, in the Philippines, will find even a better and broader field in which to make use of his business qualifications than he does in the United States, but when you consider the enormous amount of money you would necessarily have to expend to obtain a business, the time and money you would have to spend to acquire the language, the intense heat, and other climatic condi- tions you would have to contend with, the chances of catching cholera or some one of the many other deadly diseases, it remains for you to say, in view of these facts, whether or not you could make an opportunity for yourself in the Philippines. Miscenegation or amalgamation of the Negro race with the Filipino is a question worth consideration, as this condition would mean much towards improving your opportunities to acquire land, and in course of time enable you to have a voice in making the laws of the country. The Filipino is very respectful to the well bred American Negro, and once you win favor with him, his every act is to impress you with his intention to reciprocate and extend every courtesy that the more thoughtful and refined American could possess. During my eighteen months stay at Molopit De Bato, a distance of ten miles from Manila, I had occasion to start for Manila, and on the way my caromato broke down within a few yards of the home of the noted Aguinaldo. I felt more than timid about asking any favor of him, but was forced to ask him to allow me to leave my horse until such time as I could send for him. His treatment to me was just as civil as I could have expected of a brother. He informed me that he was going to Manila in a few minutes, and that he would be glad to have me accompany him in his "auto," this being the first and only time I have had the awful pleasure of riding in an "auto," as I am very much afraid of them. Senor de Aguinaldo became and is a personal good friend to many of the American blacks and whites, possessing that congeniality which is a characteristic of the Tagolog race, of which he is a member. The brotherhood of man is lived up to to a greater degree among the American Negroes on the Islands than it is here. In Manila, they are a unit. There are many Negroes in the Islands that we have all reason to feel proud of. Among them, Mr. R. B. Cabbell, of the Engineering Department; Mr. Waller, of the Constabulary; Capt. W. H. Loving, Bandmaster of the Constabulary; J. M. H. Graham, Auditor's office; Lawyer Garner, of Seattle, Lawyer G. E. Campbell, of Chicago, J. W. Calloway, Government Printing Press. These men and many others in the Islands we may point to with as much pride as we now point to the Hon. Booker T. Washington, as they are supporting Mr. Washington's theories. In my opinion the opportunities afforded the American Negro in the Philippines are not worth the sacrifice he would necessarily have to make. The first consideration is, you must acquire the language in order to do business successfully. The second is that your Caucasian brother has preceded you with his usual prejudices, and my experience has been such as to convince me that the average Caucasian in the Philippines possesses more than the usual amount of prejudices. This is accounted for by the inferior class of Americans who have taken their title "American" to the Archipelago, but for the sake of acquiring a few dollars have left their American principles on this side, this condition of affairs establishing a system of treatment of the American Negro and the Filipino equal to that dealt out to the Southern Negro by the lower class of Southern whites. C. C. HANDCOCK. POLITICAL POT-PIE Ralph D. Nickols is slated for the presi- dency of the Young Men’s Republican Club. He is also slated for the position of state sen- ator from the Thirty-first Senatorial Dis- trict, to sueceed A. T. Van de Vanter. Some one has said ‘‘It never rains but it pours.’ A pourdown is not bad if your dams are able to hold the water, but if they are not and a flood follows and much more harm than good is the result. An effort is being made, so goes the story, to pull Dan R. Abraham out of the race for county commissioner and support him for county assessor. Just why it is necessary to keep Mr. Abraham in some kind of an office all of his life the Pie-maker would like to have some one xplain. If Mr. Abraham’s record is too shady to run for county com- missioner it should be too shady for him to run for any other county office, There has been entirely too much of this Jack go to my shop and I go to Jack’s in the political affairs of this county, and it should be sud- denly ended. It is said that a similar ex- change is being planned in the north dis- trict. Al. Rutherford, who is purchasing agent for the county at the request of County Commissioner P. J. Smith, is a candidate for county commissioner, and if the slate goes through, P. J. Smith is to be purchasing agent. What a beautiful system, and how charming for those in the pool. Next Tuesday Tacoma’s municipal elec- tion will be pulled off and the political fate of R. L. MeCormick in the State of Wash- ington will to an extent be known. If he is elected mayor he will at once become a formidable candidate for United States sena- tor, to succeed Senator Levi Ankeny. If de- feated he will simply be a candidate and await future developments. The odds, how- ever, seem to be in favor of his election. While he will not get much of the labor vote, it’s a foregone conclusion that Mayor Wright will not, and if Wright does not, McCormick is certain of election. Hon. J. G. Megler of Brookfield, and who was speaker of the House at the last session of the Washington legislature, will be a can- didate for state senator at the election which oceurs in that state in November. The sena- torial districts consist of Pacifie and Wah- kiakum counties, the former having the larger number of delegates to the convention. Mr. Megler is popular in both counties and hopes to secure a sufficient number of dele- gates to control the nomination.—Astorian. Mr. Megler has a host of friends all over the state who would be exceedingly glad to see him in the Senate again. He made an able, efficient and just speaker of the House of Representatives of the last legislature, and his district could not find a man that would render it better service in the Senate than he. A North Yakima reporter recently inter- viewed a clairvoyant for this paper, and among other things was handed the follow- ing: ‘‘Take great pride in your city, for its future greatness is assured. Great men are developing in your midst. I could name them and tell you for what they will be hon- ored, but I must not: The highest gifts in 'T4E SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the great commonwealth of Washington are to be bestowed upon citizens of Yakima. The state is actually going to seek for material from your city. The next governor of the state is to come from North Yakima. In that last sentence he must have been referring to Colonel Robertson—Ellensburg Loealizer. For the most part clairvoyants are hum- bugs, imposters and liars, and if she really meant the ‘‘colonel,’’ we most truly hope she is the most notorious imposter that ever hit the pike. * * * Washington state politics is in a fair way to be a very uncertain quantity this fall. The interest will center chiefly in the country offices, but since the ‘‘hold-over’’ state sen- ators will have a voice in the selection of United States Senator Ankeny’s successor, the necessity for keeping the Republican par- ty lines intaet is very evident to the leading Republicans of the state. There are five prominent Republicans who have follewings sufficiently strong to make them available for that high office. They are Senator Ank- eny, ex-Senator John L. Wilson, Congress- man Wesley L, Jones, Robert L. MeCor- mick of Tacoma, and B. D. Crocker of the same city. Of the five Senator Ankeny and Mr. MeCormick are business men, and the other three are shrewd politicians. Mr. Crocker is friendly to Senator Ankeny and is building his fences with fidelity and abil- ity, but the men who do the real building loeally recognize in Mr. Crocker the master of the situation, and of necessity must stand by him in the skirmish. There are at least four separate generals in the Republican state ranks, with a number of other as pow- erful men who are not yet before the public in the capacity of leaders, but who are fac- tors whose influence will be felt long before the. county votes are cast, or even before the nominations are made. “The Bulletin,’’ ‘Gene Lorton’s Walla Walla paper, is leading a dignified but very effective fight against ‘‘machine’’ polities in Southeastern Washington, and particularly in Walla Walla, Senator Ankeny’s home town. The matter has become so urgent that B. D. Crocker of Tacoma, who is man- aging affairs in the state for Senator Ank- eny, is paying a visit to Walla Walla, Co- lumbia, Garfield and Whitman counties. The Republicans of Walla Walla, while loyal to Senator Ankeny, feel that the distribu- tion of the patronage in eastern Washing- ton should not pass through the Tacoma office —Spokane Orator. . * * WASHINGTON’S SENATORIAL HISTORY At the request of a subscriber of The Se- EE ee ee ee eS ee ee ee ee ee ce ee ee At the request of a subseriber of The Se- attle Republican the senatorial history of this state is herewith published. Watson C. Squire, Republican, was elected in 1888 at the time of the admission of the state into the union, he drew the short term and served but one year. At the same time John B. Allen, Republican, was elected and he drew the long term, serving three years. In 1891 Watson C. Squire was re-elected for six years and was sueceeded March 4th, 1897, by George Turner, Fusionist, who served for six years, his term expiring March 4th, 1903. Senator Turner was succeeded by Levi Ank- eny, Republican, and his term will expire March 4th, 1909. John B. Allen’s term expired March 4th, 1893. The legislature failed to elect a suc- FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1906. cessor to him and Governor John H. Me- Graw appointed Mr. Allen to succeed him- self, but the United States senate refused to seat him, hence Senator Squire was for two years Washington’s only senator. The leg- islature of 1895 elected John L. Wilson, Re- publican, to the senate, who filled the unex- pired term, which Senator Allen would have filled had he been elected to succeed him- self. Senator Wilson’s term expired March 4th, 1899, and he was succeeded by Addison G. Foster, Republican, whose term expired March 4th, 1905. Senator Foster was suc- ceeded by Samuel H. Piles, whose term will expire March 4th, 1911. The state senators elected at the next gen- eral election will vote for a successor to Senator Ankeny, whose term expires March 4th,.1909. The state senators elected at the next biennial election will vote for a suc- cessor to Senator Piles, whose term of office expires March 4th, 1911. LET REPUBLICANS BE FAIR. The Republican party of the city of Se- attle, at its last municipal convention, adopt- ed the following platform in regard to mu- nicipal ownership: “Every advancement in the direction of municipal ownership which has been made in this city has been brought about by the Republican party, and we hereby pledge our nominees to the furtherance of this princi- ple, and in order that the will of the people shall be ascertained this convention pledges its nominees to eall for a popular vote at the earliest practicable time upon the ques- tion of the purchase or construction by the city of an adequate street railway system; and we further pledge the Republican party and each of its nominees to faithfully earry out the will of the people so expressed.” The Municipal Ownership party, at its convention, as one of its platform planks, adopted the following: “Fifth—The submission to direct vote of the people as provided by the state law and city charter, at the earliest date practicable, of a definite plan for a city system of street railways to be constructed with funds se- cured on the credit of the system and its revenues. Such system shall be so designed as to cover routes from the business district into sections of the city now without service or inadequately served.”’ The Republican party has always prided itself upon being a party to carry out the pledges made in its platforms. No honest man elected to the council on the Repub- lican city platform in 1906 in Seattle can refuse to vote for the submission to the peo- ple, at the earliest practicable time, the question of the construction and owning by the city of an adequate street railway sys- tem. No organ of the Republican party of the city of Seattle should do otherwise than advise the council to carry out the pledges made in the platform. Judge Moore was elected upon the municipal ownership plat- form, and ean do nothing else than to hon- orably stand up to the pledges made to the people; and the Republican party, having adopted the same kind of a platform, must honestly stand with him. It is too late now to say that the matter should not be at once submitted to the vote of the people. Eigh- teen thousand voters in the city of Seattle have favored the platforms.. The Repub- licans and the Municipal Ownership people FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1906. had substantially the same platform. The papers declared to the people at the time that there was no difference between them. This being the fact, it is dishonorable, disreputable and dishonest for any Republican at this time to advocate the dodging of the question and failing to do the duty promised by the Republican convention. The fact is, it was claimed that the Republicans were not sincere in adopting the platform. A great many people had no faith in their sincerity at the time, and it will not do now to say to the people of the city of Seattle that the Republican party adopted a platform merely to obtain the offices by false pretenses, and did not intend to submit the matter to a vote of the people as declared in the platform. The Moro Massacre. This paper is inclined to believe that Gen. Wood's Moro massacre was wholly uncalled for; in fact, criminal, and the most of the leading weeklies of the country entertain a similar belief, but when unprincipled whelps from the South try to make political capital out of it the limit is reached. The following poem was read in Congress by John Sharp Williams of Mississippi: Chased them from everywhere Chased them all onward, Into the crater of death Drove them-six hundred, "Forward, the Wood Birgade; Spare not a one," he said; "Shoot all six hundred." Flashed all the sabres there, Flashed as they turned in air, Sabring the women there, Charging the children, while All the world wondered. Stifled by cannon's smoke, Men, women, children choke, Women and children Reel from the bay'net's stroke, In death not sundered; Families slaughtered there, All of six hundred. What shall such bloodthirst slake? Go ask Hell Roaring Jake ? Whether Wood blundered. Honor the charge they made; Honor the Wood Brigade, For that six hundred. However significant may the words of this poem be, it originated in the heart of a red-handed hellian. John Sharp Williams holds his seat in Congress today because his constituents burn at the stake Negroes who dared to try to be men. It was in Mississippi, and perhaps in Williams' immediate district, where a Negro and his wife were burned at the stake because the Negro was compelled to shoot a white man to prevent the white brute from shooting both himself and his wife. Yea, not only were they burned at the stake, but while the fires were being heated seven times hotter than they had been ever before for a similar roast, some of the howling human hyenas amused themselves by cutting off the fingers and ears of the victims for souvenirs, while others of them were boring corkscrews into the bodies of the unfortunates and snatching out great quivering chunks of flesh. Under such cir- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN cumstances of course the very thoughts of barbarous treatment on the part of white men to the blacks of the Philippines shocks the Hon. John Sharp Williams; but why? He hopes to score politically by it. But a few days ago a Negro was lynched in Louisiana because he was charged with having stolen a cow. Sharp Williams had better start his charity at home, for no sensible man can nor will deny that the white men of the South come a good deal nearer being human hyenas than they do civilized, law-abiding citizens. WHAT OTHERS SAY. Bishop Fowler said: "If you should ask me to decide between the man with no religion and common sense and the man with religion and no common sense, I should take the man with common sense. It is the business sense which is going to win our work. There is too much of the goody-goody principle among people nowadays. Too many people think they will be received into the Kingdom of Heaven if they have their shoes blackened and their faces cleaned, but they are wrong. I like a man with a good skeleton—a man who can stand up straight. If he has not a good skeleton he caves in like a bag of wind. There is a vast difference between sanctification and 'cranktification.' If a man says no one in the house except his wife has religion, and he is in doubt about her, that is 'cranktification.' Sanctification is charitable. Don't bring the church a preacher so dry that if you bore a gimlet hole in him sawdust will run out. The greatest devil that fights the Methodist ministry is laziness. If we put as much work into our ministry as the average business man puts into his business we shall win." THE WHITE SLAVES OF NEW YORK. The social evil has been a difficult one with which to deal in all times of which we have information. It will probably remain so to the end of the chapter, unless there shall come a radically different way of dealing with it, both in civilized and heathen countries. Efforts to suppress it by law have been unavailing; efforts to isolate and control it by law have been only partially successful; but to recognize the existence of it and to control it in prescribed areas has proved the most sensible and satisfactory course. Here in New York City we were taught this by the efforts of Dr. Parkhurst and his associates to suppress it, which rather resulted in scattering it broadcast over the city, making it worse on that account, as a scattered evil is more dangerous and less easily regulated than a localized one. In the seaport cities of the Orient they understand this very well, except in Manila, where the efforts of the American authorities to suppress it result in scattering it all over the city. The police and police authorities of New York, and of most large American cities, are suspected all the time of having a corrupt alliance with the social evil, of levying tribute upon it and of extending a sort of protection to it on that account. Individual members of the police force have time and again been convicted of this very lowest and most cowardly form of graft. In order to minimize the infamous collusion it has been found nec essary to keep the police constantly on the move from one precinct to another; and this has become a positive hindrance to a proper enforcement of law and order, because police officers are not allowed to remain long enough in one precinct to master the evil conditions in it. This is particularly the case with the Tenderloin precinct, where the social evil is localized more than in other precincts. The investigation into the murder of her paramour by Bertha Claiche, a French woman of the Tenderloin, and the disclosures of the relations which certain policemen bore to the woman and others of her class, with a hint at collusion between the woman and the police in the murder of the man, were still pending when the newspapers, inspired by the District Attorney's office, set up a horrified clamor for the head of Robert Spriggs, an Afro-American divekeeper accused of carrying on a trade in white slaves. Spriggs and his father have been divekeepers in New York for nearly fifty years, the son taking up the business where his father left it off. All sorts of women were fish that came to their nets, and plenty of all sorts of white women came along with the other sorts, for white women are as addicted to the social evil as other sorts of women; and in the large cities of the North and the West a large and increasing number of them appear to prefer association with Afro-Americans rather than with men of their own race. The hubbub which the District Attorney's office and the newspapers have stirred up over Spriggs and his vile doings must be intended to cover up the blindness with which they have been ignored during a long period of years; because it was not possible for Spriggs and his sort to do business without police protection, without the indifference of the District Attorney's office and without the silence of the newspapers; and all of these he enjoyed, as his father had before him, up to a short time ago. As far as the District Attorney's office is concerned, it looks very much as if the prosecution of Spriggs and the great noise that has been raised by it, is in the nature of a bluff to distract attention from the failure of the District Attorney to prosecute the big rogues in the insurance business uncovered by the Armstrong investigating committee and from the ugly disclosures in the Bertha Claiche case. The yell of "white slaves" and "black slave masters" has been enough to arouse all of the people of New York and to distract their attention from other rascalities which the District Attorney might regard it as dangerous to probe too deeply. We have no sympathy with vice of any sort; we pity "white slaves" or "black slaves," and there are plenty of both sorts in New York, made so by necessity or natural depravity. Like other violators of the law, the police should deal with them equally, without regard to color and nationality. There is no reason whatever why Spriggs should not get all of the law he is entitled to, both from the newspapers and the courts; and there is equally none why the white rascals in the same business should not be made to answer to the law in the same way. In the matter of vice as in that of virtue, the good people of New York should insist that justice is blind and that the District Attorney and the police act strictly in accordance with this fact.—New York Age. A Negro was lynched at a town in Louisi- ana last Saturday for stealing a cow. Thirty- five masked men took him from the constable who was taking him to jail. And Louisiana is supposed to be a civilized country.—Big Bend Empire. That’s but another way of solving what the over-timid of this country are pleased to term ‘‘the Race Problem.’’ The milk in the cocoanut, however, is, the South is, for the most part among the whites, made up of cowardly assassins and border outlaws who have no more conception of Christian eiviliza- tion than do the howling hyenas of the jung- les. In 1890 one ean safely say Seattle did not have a population to exceed 30,000, but it had already begun to attract capitalists and many began getting property in and about the city, and among that number was Judge Hiram G. Bond, a New York capitalist, who passed to the great beyond last night (Thursday). Judge Bond’s investments turned out exceedingly well and by 1900-- just a deeade—he retired from active busi- ness life and spent the most of his time in California. He returned to Seattle last fall and announced his intention of spending the yemainder of his life, which he did, but it was shorter than he had anticipated. Judge Bond for many years was looked upon as & senatorial possibility from the State of Washington, but he was never active in that direction.
