"Pass" or no pass? is the riding question of the hour among the city officials in these piping days of reform. The public is curious to learn if in killing a burglar, that Spokane detective has actually killed a fellow officer. It's a Weis guy that knows the kind of a hobo to take a piece of money from in these days of political overhauling. When Charley Dalton will not be nursing some public teat for what's in it for him, it will be when there are no more teats to be nursed. Seattle's pleasant sunshine for the past week has been enjoyed by her citizens and visitors hugely and they can stand much more of it. Gambling in Georgetown is a thing of the past. There was no excuse for it ever having run as long as it did, but it is better late than never. That was a very commendable special edition of the Issaquah Independent, and the Issaquah citizens should advertise their town by sending out hundreds of copies of it. It is conservatively estimated that Seattle will do over ten million dollars' worth of building and improvement this year, and yet some pessimist will tell you the town can not hold up. In deposing John Alexander Dowie from the head of the Zion Church, despite the fact that all Zion is in his name in fee simple, it is plain to be seen that, all the fools are not dead yet. If China starts in to lick the United States and Russia at one and the same time, she will find out before she has gotten far along with the job that her eyes are bigger than her belly. There are a good many definitions being handed out by the new woman for a "womanly woman,' but the best one to us is "a woman who is a woman,' only this and nothing more. ```markdown ``` SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1906 Before the mayor of Seattle can give a henchman a job the city council must give its consent, which means that Mayor Moore will not put very many henchmen into office for the next two years. Evidently the two most important personages in Issaquah are the mayor and the editor of the Independent, as their pictures occupied the place of honor in the special edition of the Independent. See US. After all, there seems to be a streak of yellow in the Japanese, judging from the way that murderer peached the other day after he had been kept in the cold box for a couple of days. Judge C. Victor Martin got a bumping that it will at least take him three years to forget, he having been found guilty of unprofessional conduct. Martin may be guilty, but there are others. Moyor and Heywood may be the murderers of ex-Gov. Steunenberg, but the methods being used to find out whether they did or did not smacks a good deal of Russian outrages on the part of the constabulary against the citizens. Non-union men struck on a public building in Seattle because union men were given work. Does this mean that we are to have a trust of non-union men like unto the trust of union men? If we do, then there will be no one to do any real work. In settling in California, John D. Rockefeller evidently desires to spend the balance of his life in a community where robbers are not held in such contempt as they are in Ohio, where Uncle John laid up his nest-egg for a rainy day. It is rather significant that every man that has been at the head of the Chamber of Commerce of Seattle any length of time left that body so hooked up in business enterprises as to put him in affluent circumstances at once. It is evidently a stepping-stone to greater possibilities. Councilman Gill wants a new city hall and there are others, but unless Mr. Gill expects to donate the necessary amount to erect the same out of his salary it is more than likely that both Mr. Gill and others will continue to want in that direction for many months before they get what they want. "Discontinue sending The Seattle Republican to my address, as I am not interested in politics," writes a subscriber. There are so many citizens who talk and act as this man that it is beginning to dawn upon us why so many municipalities are being looted by grafters and public officials these days. "Take me to the gallows as soon as you like, but for heaven's sake take me out of this dark, damp hell-hole," prayed a Japanese murderer, who had been confined in --- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE TEN CENTS the city jail for two days, and yet we are raising money by day and by night to send missionaries to Japan, hoping to make Christians like ourselves out of them. God forbid that they ever do as we do. In securing the services of J. D. Farrell there is one thing certain, the Union Pacific has a representative in Seattle that will not let the grass grow under his feet. Yea, not only will not let the grass grow under his feet, but nowhere near its right of way. Mr. Farrell is a man that accomplishes things. Unless J. H. Le Roy, who was some months ago sentenced to life imprisonment for being a confirmed criminal, is pardoned or paroled by some governor, he will hear the clank of cell doors the balance of his life, as the supreme court has confirmed the decision of the lower courts by upholding the constitutionality of the statute. If half that is said of Jailer Corbett be true, then that miserable mush-mouth mick should be sent to the penitentiary for life. It seems that Americans must be awfully hard up for officials when such an ignoramus as John Corbett is put in authority and permitted to beat up citizens just as though he (Corbett) was a human being. "My time with you is limited. It may be only a day, a month or a year, but I will soon leave you," tremblingly said an aged brother in testifying in a class meeting, but the old gent felt both indignant and chagrinned when before he had cleverly taken his seat a younger brother started the familiar song, "Oh, why do you wait, dear brother; oh, why do you tarry so long?" Every one acquainted with Judge Eben Smith was pain ed to learn of his death. He in many respects was a most admirable man. He was both public spirited and generous, two things that make the most noble characters in public men. He was rich in public reminiscences, he having rubbed up against most of the great men of the country during reconstruction days. He has been a resident of Seattle for a quarter of a century, where he has always been more or less prominent in public affairs. Judge Smith was 70 odd years of age at the time of his death. "I am told,' said an Afro-American divine, who hailed from the South, that a great many of our Southern Quadroons and Octoroons come North and pass for white. Now, I never do anything like that, for I do not believe in deception." His white audience cheered his manly stand to the echo for a minute, but suddenly realized the ridiculousness of the whole situation, for the reverend brother was black enough to spit ink for the government, and after a minute's reflection the audience went wild in uproarious laughter. The reason many of us do not do things that we condemn others for doing is because we would render ourselves ridiculous in trying to do so. ```markdown ``` A ee oe ee ee lL CL ee es Oe ae a ee lL ee i OU ee ae oe pl ee (Ja aia Ghee Ratna Vz. ui en ea agi ee ee S ae eae ee ace PG es ee — a ee ee De es Se ee ee 3 oe ee os ook ee oa Loy a ON ae et oe BES RUE SON Un RANI EAR eres a A oe coe Ne REG aes me hucre ct eG a Oe oe SO a Oe Se Tae ae ah eS Oi ee, ean Di oe ees 2 BOM ane hee et ee Wat eet: ae Eas ee ee eee ea ea eee Sec es on ee oS oe oe oo a ae ae - ee eo pe ee ee ee ee we en eee a) eS Ae i a ee a nee ce ee Ogee oes ee ve ee Cog Cee ort UNM ma Sg Se acts a ne BO Ce Sa ar sah ai Se fee eine ee To eae ?

RECLAIMING OUR WASTE LANDS. Big as our country is, we have or see use for every acre of it, and even the wastes must be reclaimed if possible for the benefit of coming generations. Since the reclamation act was passed in Congress in 1902, the geological survey has outlined twenty-four irrigation projects, all of which have been approved by the Secretary of the Interior. Work has actually begun on thirteen of them, and one has been completed. The speed of the work and the eagerness with which it has been taken up by the people benefited has been a surprise even to the best informed officers of the service themselves. In the remarkably short time the act has been in operation the service has built seventy-seven miles of main canals and 186 miles of secondary ditches. It has in operation 125 miles of telephone and 150 miles of road much of it in deep cuts through difficult canyon country where there were not even trails before. tI has excavated 10,000,000 cubic yards of earth and built three and a half miles of tunnel. The work of irrigation in this countrry has been going on in a modern scientific way for only about twenty-five years. In that time a crop-producing area of 10,000,000 acres, equal to the area of Massachusetts, has been added to the country. The irrigation work already done represents an outlay of $90,000,000, and the crops raised on the irrigated land reach an annual value of $150,000,000 and furnished homes for 2,000,000 people. There is about 50,000,000 acres available for reclamation in the great American desert, and when this is put under ditch it will be the richest farming land in the world. The average cost per acre of the reclamation will be about $30, so that the winning back of this desert will cost approximately $1,500,000,000, or seven times the cost of the Panama Canal. The average value of the land reclaimed is about $47 per acre, and in addition to adding that much to the taxable wealth of the United States, it will furnish homes for 600,000 additional families, and an equal number of farms with an average area of fifty acres in each of the farms-Selected. A PHENOMENA A number of colored people attended a lecture given by a noted lecturer and noticed in the course of his remarks the word "phenomena," which he used repeatedly. They could not catch the meaning of the word, and next day they went to their pastor and demanded of him the meaning of the word. "Well, Breddern, you all come to de meetin' next Sunday and I will 'splain dat word," he said to them. The next Sunday there was a much larger attendance than usual. The pastor with his first remarks said: 'I notice a big crowd out today, and, bred-dern and sistern, I is ready for to 'splain de word 'phenomena.' Now, if you would be goin' down de road and see a cow eatin' grain, you would know dat it was no phenomena. You go a little furder and see a thistle just ready for to bloom, you would know dat it was no phenomena. And you keep on down de road and you see a bud a settin' on a lamb and you hear dat bud singin' and a singin', you would know dat it was no phenomena; but if you see dat cow a sittin' on de thistle and singin' like a bud THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN you would know dat it was a phenomena." —Ex. Either Pigs or Pups. The above story reminds us of an incident that happened in a Southern state in antebellum days. Two neighboring planters were to an extent dog fanciers and the one promised the other a couple of fine pups. When the little doggies were old enough he put them in a sack and gave them to a trsuted slave to deliver to his neighbor with his compliments. Between the master's home and the home of the neighbor was a country grocery store and this store, like all others in that section, always had on hand plenty of whisky, and the clerk enjoyed playing a joke on a "darky" and nothing rendered him such valuable assistance in doing so as a few drinks of whisky. "What you got there, Eph?" insquired the clerk. "Some pups Marse Bob, sent to Mistah Brown," he promptly replied. "Don't you want a drink?" Which brought a grim all over Eph's face as he replied, "Yassah." "Then go back in the ware room and help yourself." He put the pups down and went back and helped himself good and plenty. He returned for his sack of pups and very effusively thanked the clerk for "de dram." He was told he could have another on his way back home. While he was out drinking the clerk slipped the pups out and put in a couple of pigs. When he reached Mr. Brown's home and delivered the message and Mr. Brown opened the sack and found two pigs instead of two pups it was as much of a surprise to him as it was to Mr. Brown. He was ordered to take the pigs back and the bit of indignation that accompanied the command seemed to have been intended more for the master than for the servant. On his way home he stopped to get another drink and while doing so the pups were put in the sack and the pigs taken out. On reaching home he told his master what "Mistah Brown" said about sending him pigs instead of pups, but on opening the sack out rolled the pups. The servant was much exercised over the phenomena, but said nothing. His master gave him a good scolding and started him back with the pups. The clerk had calculated well on how the game would proceed and so he kept a bright watch out for the dusky messenger. "Hay, there, Eph, don't you want another drink?" "Don't care if I do," he smiling replied. He went back for another drink and again the pigs were substituted for the pups. When he again reached the home of Mr. Brown he had enough corn juice under his belt to make him feel his oats, and he delivered Marse Bob's retort in the same air and sound as it was delivered. But imagine Eph's surprise on opening the sack to find the same two pigs instead of the pups. Every superstitious feeling in him came to the front and he was visibly effected at the phenomena. Both Eph and Mr. Brown stood spellbound, but finally Eph broke the silence by saying: "Well, Mistah Broun, you keep them darn things for they can be either pigs or pups." He at once started for home with a heavy heart, owing to a certain cat-a-nine-tail that did service when he displeased Marse Bob. THOUGHTS FROM OTHERS. The Church and the Negro. Is it not a strange anomaly that though the church has ever been solicitious for the Negro, receiving him on the same footing as the white at her altars, and with the same love receiving his canonized relics thereon, there are comparatively few adherents of the colored race to our Catholic doctrine? One of the greatest doctors of the church was an African, and one of her latest saints is Benedict the Mood.—Catholic Union and Times. Because the Catholic church has treated the Negro just is no excuse for them flocking to the church whether they do or do not ascribe to its ritualistic doctrines. We had always supposed the Catholic church treated, not only the Negro, but every other nationality, who were members thereof, fair and impartial, not to gain more members, but because it was unadulterated Christianity and in that respect differed from the various Protestant organizations that had established a little God of their own who warped and wallowed to suit the caprices of the members thereof.

Building, Seattle --- POLITICAL POT-PIE ‘cacti tain iadiin abet blaine The Pie-Maker would suggest to King county politicians that they would do well to profit by the experience of Pierce county politicians. It will be remembered that some seven years ago a Pierce county man was elected to a seat in the United States senate and at once every two by four ward politi- cian in the county began to hound Senator Foster for some kind of a federal job and the old softy, thinking it his duty to remem- ber all the Tacoma boys, actually made an effort to fill every federal office in the state with a man from his county. The result of his efforts was an avalanche of objections from every other county in the state, and those objections culminated in a defeat for Senator Foster at the expiration of his term of office, and now Tacoma is without a United States senator, which she sorely re- grets. A hint to the wise should be suffi- cient—King county might get a similar dose. * * # Suppose Senator Piles should carry out his threat, if not actual political promise, and endorse for appointment Potter Charles Sullivan, a Seattle man, for United States district attorney to sueceed the Hon. J. A. Frye, a Whatcom county man, and then en- dorse Hon. F. C. Harper, a Seattle man, for collector of customs at Port Townsend to succeed the Hon. C. W. Ide of Spokane coun- ty, and also endorse Frank A. Twitchell for register of the U. S. land office in Seattle to succeed William Henry Smith of Skagitt county, and then endorse Seattle men for the receivership of the Seattle land office and for deputy internal revenue collector at Seattle, there being applicants for both of these places with very strong endorsements; sup- pose, we repeat, Senator Piles endorses all these applicants, as he is most likely to do, then will there not be something doing in other parts of Western Washington? Will not King county be branded as hogging all of the federal jobs and will not that bring about a great deal of opposition to King county from other counties and sections? And, finally, will it not tend to weaken King county in naming a senator to succeed Sam- uel H. Piles? There seems to be no doubt but that D. B. Crocker, internal revenue collector of this state, with headquarters ‘at Tacoma, has as- sumed the active management of Senator Ankeny’s campaign and will make a bluff at supporting him as long as there is no show of electing him, is himself the real sena- torial candidate. Some of Mr. Ankeny’s real .friends endeavored to put Crocker into the gubernatorial race to succeed Mead, but the cunning Crocker would not stand for it, and he in turn put one George H. Baker, an all- round political crook, in the race for gover- nor, while he himself is setting his nets for bigger game. The internal revenue collector is spending the most of his time these days gallavanting over the state endeavoring to strengthen his political fences or trying to build new fences. It may be against the orders for government officials to become active and offensive partisans, but that does not disturb Boss Crocker, who has the active support of both Ankeny and Piles—to stand between him and the fire. tHE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN It is hinted now that the Ankeny-Crocker bunch in Tacoma went so far as to spend considerable money to get R. L. MeCormick nominated for mayor of Tacoma for the ex- press purpose of knoeking him down at the polls with the view of blighting any pros- pects he might seem to have of being elected United States senator to sueceed Ankeny. Two days before the election it is said that George H. Stevenson declared in public that he had money that MeCormick would be de- reap =. (Y . . , Ese HON. S. G. COSGROVE, Who Will Seek Gubernatorial Nomi nation. feated by a plurality ranging anywhere from 300 to 500 votes. If he was guessing he, to say the least, was a darn good guesser, but he was not guessing. Stevenson knew what the bunch was going to do to MeCor- mick. The bunch believed that there was no surer way of doing this senatorial as- pirant than to put him up and then slaughter him at the polls. This it has done and it remains to be seen whether or not the bunch has accomplished the dirty work it set out to do. If MeCormick is next to himself he will pay no more attention to that defeat than if he had been elected by a 3,000 ma- jority. ** * The next state convention will nominate three representatives to the house of con- gress and four members of the supreme bench. It has been very generally conceded that the lump lot of the present incumbents would all be nominated, but the Ankeny bunch is getting busy and is endeavoring to make trouble. For reasons that will be sub- sequently explained the bunch is working on Max F. Gose, of Garfield county, to be a candidate for one of the supreme court nom- inees and the same bunch is also endeavor- ing to put up Judge Rice of the southwest to be a candidate fir a supreme court nomi- nation. The buneh is hoping to also find a FRIDAY, APRIL 6, i906. ee ee eget oat ew ep ees a nk Pate Soe US Eun > oe ey tae plans of the bunch work well, Judge Rice will suececd Judge Dunbar; Max F. Gose will succeed Judge H. D. Crow; the prospective northwest candidate will succeed Judge Milo A. Root and Judge Wallace Mount of Thurs- ton will succeed himself. * * ® The object of these changes is to get po- litical strength for the state convention two years later and for the senatorial election that follows a few months thereafter. Gar- field is the only county in the tier of coun- ties in which it is located that the Ankeny bunch has not controlled and to give that county a supreme court nomination might be the means of bringing it into the dragnet of the bunch. The bunch always bumped up against a stone wall at the gates of Garfield in the person of the Hon. 8. G. Cosgrove. It got an intimation that Cosgrove would be a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination to sueceed Goy. Albert E. Mead and to head off that it got busy and persuaded Max Gose to run for supreme judge. He was then dispatched post haste to Cosgrove to \gct his approval of his (Gose) candidacy, |but the diplomatic old political war horse |sniffed danger from afar and, it is reported, |that he sidestepped by informing Gose that he, Cosgrove, was a candidate for governor and for that reason he could not support him. This did not sound good to Gose so he countered by proposing that a Cosgrove- Gose frameup be entered into and that did not sound good to Cosgrove and the confer- ence ended. *_ * *€ Tf Cosgrove had been caught napping and had have consented to Gose’s plan his guber- natorial prospects would have gone glim- mering instanter. For, should the bunch have succeeded in nominating Gose, so small a county would have had all the recognition it could reasonably expect, and Cosgrove would have again been invited to ‘‘go way back and sit down.’’ Then the bunch would have pushed the gubernatorial candidacy of George Baker as the only Eastern Wash- ington gubernatorial candidate and local pride would do much toward whipping every county in that section of the state into line. Baker is now a resident of Spokane county and with the aid of his side partner, ‘‘Dock”’ Hare, he hopes to capture that delegation for the selfish interest of the bunch. Of course, Spokane will have a candidate for every place on the state ticket, but owing to the fact that Spokane no longer has a ‘‘John L.’’ to pull the political chestnuts out of the fires for her she will get nothing, and es- pecially at the convention to be held two years from the next state convention. * * * The Ankeny-Crocker bunch will have to reckon with two other sagacious politicians in the coming contest, who in the past were always trusted allies and those two oppon- ents are none other than J. L. Mohundro and Gene Lorton. They have already begun to show fight and are making some advances on the picket lines of the bunch. Both of them will support Cosgrove for governor in preference to Baker, and with the aid of the Miles C. Moore Boxer crowd it is believed they will be able to take Walla Walla coun- ty from even Senator Ankeny himself, even ari eh FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1906. in the fight, every issue of which sets the bunch politically wild and that, too, despite the feeble efforts of the Union, Ankeny’s personal organ, to counteract each morning what Lorten said the evening prior. In other words the Union is on the defensive in every issue. Goy. Moore is a splendid po- litical organizer and it is very generally be- lieved all over the state at this writing that the Ankeny-Crocker bunch is doomed to lose not only Walla Walla, but one or two other counties in that section, which would ever- lastingly ruin each and every one of them. * * # Friends of Dr. J. J. Smith say that he has decided to not enter the race for sena- tor from the Thirtieth senatorial district, and will advocate no particular person as his successor. In other words, according to street gossip, he has taken the advice of his brother Rufus and is out of polities for keeps. ee * It is likewise reported that O. A. Tucker feels that he had better let well enough alone and has withdrawn from the race for senator from the Thirty-second senatorial district. ‘‘While I have no particular per- son to advocate for the nomination I mean to be with my friends in the selecting of a eandidate,’’ Senator Tucker is reported as having said when he decided to get out of the fight. soe # Tacoma re-elected George P. Wright mayor for the ensuing two years last Tues- day over R. L. MeCormick by a plurality of 295. What a contrast between Tacoma and Seattle. The former elected Wright a Democrat, her mayor evidently because he had given the city a notorious wide open policy for the past two years, while Seattle elected Moore, a Democrat, her mayor be- cause he declared he would drive every ves- tige of ‘‘wide open’ town from her confines. The three chief cities of the state, Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, each has a Democratic mayor. The mayor of Seattle has started out to rid the town of gamblers and gambling devices and for that reason Tacoma and Spokane may expect an increase of popula- tion. While their increase may not be a very desirable class, yet it will be numbers, and that’s what counts when census taking is going on. : *._* € Mr. E. B. Palmer, chairman of the Repub- liean state central committee, has taken an open stand in favor of the direct primary law. Now let all the other Republican leaa- ers do likewise. The people of this big and progressive state purpose having the direct primary at the hands of the next legislature, and the machine politicians may as well make up their minds to the matter without further parley. The Republican voters of Clallam county should settle early on some good man for representative who will pledge himself to make the race on this issue and to support the measure when elected.—Port Angeles Tribune. Congressman Humphrey has lined up with the shipping trust and against labor on legis- lation now pending in congress. May his financial reward be sufficient to cheer him in the political oblivion that his act has con- signed him to.—Union Record (Seattle). Everybody who does not fall down and worship the union labor trust is always, in your opinion, lined up with some other kind THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN 4 HON, F. C. HARPER, Ptesident the New Republican Club and Candidate for Collector of Customs at Pt. Townsend. of a vicious trust different from the one you represent, and you begin to threaten such publie characters with your voting opposi- tion. If Congressman Humphrey would serve lawabiding citizens well he would in- form you, ‘‘to hell with your voting opposi- tion,’’ for it certainly ean do him no worse in the future than it has attempted to do him in the past. From up-Sound comes the interesting ru- mor that John L. Wilson, Governor Mead and Congressman Humphrey have formed an offensive and defensive political alliance. Such a combination should add zest to the campaign in this state next fall. There is one combination, however, that would push this one off the bridge, and that is an alli- ance of the Northwest, the Southwest and Spokane, with the three congressional seats and a bunch of hold-over senators hung up for prizes.—Bellingham Revelle. And there is still another combination that would push them all off the bridge and that is for John L. Wilson, Governor Mead, Con- gressman Humphrey, the Northwest, the Southwest, Spokane and all the so-called Re- publicans to hook up with good old simon pure Republicanism and cut out the grafters, who get elected to office for the sole pur- pose of selling out to some corporation and such a combination would be a hundred times winner. Piles Is a Beau Brummel. “Samuel H. Piles, of Washington, easily leads the senate in the matter of smart dress- ing. He is a good second to the late Senator Woleott, of Colorado, who first made the sack coat, gay colored vest and resounding necktie popular in the upper branch of con- gress. “Although 47, Mr. Piles looks much younger. He has a luxuriant growth of black hair, parted in the middle, and a youth- ful complexion. He is of medium height and build, soft spoken and good looking. He is alert and devotes his time to learning the intricacies of his new job. “Mr. Piles wears elaborate cravats, Tim Woodruff waistcoats with well made black garments, which give him the appearance of a successful business man. He lives unos- tentatiously at a moderately expensive hotel, which was the headquarters of ‘Uncle Joe’ Cannon before he became speaker and set up an establishment of his own.’’—New York World. Seattle folk can hardly believe this, for Sam put up such a poor mouth when he was making his campaign that even the grafters felt sorry for him. He not having as yet gotten his share of the Sullivan estate the question is, where does he get the money? WHOSE BULL IS GORED. The Seattle Republican says the Moran Bros. have sold a controlling interest in their ship building plant and will hereafter de- vote most of their time to beautifying their country home on Oreas island. The paper de- votes considerable space to fulsome praise of their successful business methods, but fails to state what their methods were. Yes, they have become rich on apparently little capital, but how? The capital they have worked on has been the toil and sweat of laboring men, much of it poorly paid seab labor, at that? No, thank you, we would rather have a little less, and get it from the toil of well-paid laborers, with comfortable homes and well-fed, well-clothed, educated and happy wives and children —Cowlitz County Advocate. Laboring men were not compelled to work for the Morans unless they wanted to do so. You say what you will pay your help and persons doing that kind of work can accept or let it alone, just as they see fit. The Morans did nothing more or less. It matters not whether you employ one or one thousand men, you should have the right to say what you will pay any or all of them. There is plenty other work in the world and if you do not want to work for the wages offered you by one man or firm find something else to do. The fact of the matter is the Morans have always paid good wages and the clashes they have had with the men were due more to force the Moran Bros. Company to recognize the unions than on account of poor wages. The Morans have been fair to those who have worked under them and no- body knows this better than the Seattle folk who have watched the Moran Bros. Company grow from a bellows, an anvil and a ham- mer to a two million dollar plant. BIG BUSINESS WITHOUT CANAL. The traffic at Panama is treated in a re- port by Consul Kellogg, of Colon, who shows what an immense volume of trade passes over the istthmus without a canal. As a fire de- stroyed the government offices and several blocks in that town last September, the data was gathered from business sourees. ‘he total freight carried over the single track Panama railroad in 1904 was 415,000 tons, an inerease of 18 per cent over 1903. The total earnings were’ $1,577,000, 24 per cent over 1903. The number of passengers carried was 114,000, compared with only 78,000 in 1903. There were transported free of charge 1,480 troops of the United States and 9,000 em- ployees of the Republic of Panama. Freight traffic from the United States in 1904 in- ereased by 4,500 tons to South Pacife ports, 6,200 tons to Central America and Mexico and 3,100 tons to Panama. From Europe the inerease was 20,000 tons, while the increase from Pacifie points to Europe was 14,000 tons, TUSKEGEE CELEBRATES. TUSKEGEE, Ala., April 4.—Owing to the delay in the Ogden special train, the beginning of the exercises in connection with the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Tuskegee normal and industrial institute was delayed until tonight. Among the prominent men who came in on the Ogden train were Secretary of War Wm. H. Taft, Robert C. Ogden, president of the board of trustees; Charles W. Eliot, president of Harvard university; Dr. Lyman Abbott and Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post. The party was greeted by fifteen hundred students and alumni and members of the faculty and board of trustees. Principal Booker T. Washington delivered an address of welcome, in which he said: "The Negro race in this country has entered upon a wholly new period—a period in which emphasis is being placed upon a side of life not covered in any of the previous experiences of my people. I mean the era of free, independent and intelligent economic and individual development, accompanied with a growing sense of the worth and value of their own qualities and a desire to make the most of them, under God, for their own good and the welfare of the world." Mr. Ogden delivered a strong address on the significance of the celebration. President Eliot, of Harvard, spoke on "What Uplifts a Race and What Holds It Down." Secretary Taft referred to the fact that the Negroes were brought to this country against their will, and that for 250 years they lived in slavery.

He then referred to the many movements to confer on the Negro the higher academic and literary education which were inaugurated, but were not well adapted to securing the proper foundation for the upbuilding of the race.

Mr. Taft said the Negro had made great progress since the civil war, and continued: "The white men who can do the most good for the Negro, who can aid him in his toilsome march to better material and intellectual conditions, are the Southern white men who are his neighbors. "It is one of the encouraging signs of the times that there is growing up in the South a body of leading white men who feel that the future of the Negro race affects the future of the South, and that both self-interest and humanity require them to lend all the aid they can to this people in the throes of a burdensome effort. Mr. Carnegie spoke on "The Education of the Negro—a National Interest." "My visitors from the North are here upon the quarter centenary of this remarkable educational institution for the colored people, not because we are more deeply interested in that race than in our own white race in the South, but because we feel that the problem is one that vitally concerns our own race, and it is to their co-operation in the South we chiefly loog for its solution. "It is impossible that educated Southern white people could find life agreeable or inspiring and fruitfully yielding all its sweet graces surrounded by an inferior race sunk in ignorance and squalor. Human society is one great whole, and the degradation of one part injures and lowers the lives of the others. in said estate may appear and file his exceptions in writing to said account, and contest the same.

Will be the general topic of discussion at the Forum next Sunday, April 8th, and it is hoped that every one will be prepared to speak of some one of high public standing who is doing or saying something that will redound to the lasting good of the Afro-Americans. You and each of you who will attend the Forum will feel a great deal better with yourself and everybody else if you will thaw out and take a part in the meeting. If you are only a casual visitor you will be as welcome to speak your opinion as the members. You may perhaps not be able to speak as eloquently or as pointedly as some one else, but if your intentions are good what you do say will be as gratefully received. Next Sunday's session of the Forum will be held at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church, corner Twenty-eighth avenue and Madison street at 3:45 o'clock. Come and hear for yourself and you will not regret it. Sunday, 3 p. m., the Douglass Center will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Turkegee Institute. The speakers are Prof. Spencer Smith of the Wendell Phillips High School and Prof. John C. Grant, of the Harvard Preparatory School. A letter from Dr. Washington will be read.—Chicago Conservator. The Hobart M. Cable PIANO We live in an age of inspiring progress—progress of education, progress of invention, progress of fine art creation. The scholarly and ambitious man is ever striving to surpass his fellowman by some scientific, artistic or mechanical achievement. Among no class of men is the striving for prominence more determined and vigorous than among the piano makers. The most notable triumph in the musical world in the last decade is the production of the HOBART M. CABLE PIANO. Not since the first piano was made has any maker, right from the start, struck the golden mind at every point so successfully as this notable manufacturer has done in the piano bearing his individual name. Built by the most skillful piano makers on scientific methods exclusively its own and out of the finest materials markets will afford regardless of cost. It challenge comparison and invites the inspection and admiration of all intelligent piano people. For sale only by --- D. S. JOHNSTON CO. 903 Second Ave. Burke Buldg. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The above excerpt is reproduced that those of Seattle interested in the success of the Sunday Forum may get some idea how similar organizations in other cities are conducted. Good live topics of an inspiring nature are the kinds the Forum should keep to the front. BUTLER'S MERRY MAIDENS. All next week at the Seattle, starting Sunday matinee, Butler's Merry Maidens will be seen. The beautiful scenic display, magnificent costuming and the brilliant electrical effects given by "The Merry Maidens" Co. in the new and original musical comedy "The Maid and the Mule," will far exceed anything of the kind seen here this season. The Third Avenue Theatre has a play there this week that everybody likes to see. No matter how often Ben Hendricks comes to Seattle, whenever he plays "Ole Olsen," he has and will be greeted with full houses. The Norse people, while readily losing their foreign identity, do not forget the Fatherland and love to watch the transmigration, as it were, of the Swede from the time he enters on his novitiate as an American until he completes his education and becomes a full-fledged citizen. "Ole Olsen" is the best object lesson of this that any play presents. It contains plenty of comedy, some good specialists, and enough heart-interest to make it enjoyable as a play, even were it presented by a company less talented than the one at the Third Avenue Theatre this week. There will be a good tramp play at the Third Avenue Theatre next week, called "A Thoroughbred Tramp." It excels all other tramp plays in several particulars. It has a better plot, is more natural and presents a life-picture, as it were, of the vagabond, showing his better side of life as well as his "worser." The popularity of tramp plays of late years has been phenomenal; it probably comes from the fact that people like to laugh and get away from everyday surroundings. Of course in the play the brake-beam tourist carries the audience along with him in his preambulations, and they share with him his adventures, joys and vicissitudes—a good and sufficient reason for people liking plays of this character. There will be no performance at the Third Avenue Theatre Gold Shield Coffee the Coffee that's ALWAYS good, is the very best Coffee obtainable; roasted in Seattle and packed in 1-lb and 2-lb air-tight cans, therefore, always fresh.
