That Trusts in the United States should be abolished every one agrees, but just how to do it is the perplexing question. May Day on Puget Sound was an ideal day; such an one that even the denizens of this section marveled at, and that is saving quite a good deal. Earthquaking goes bravely on in San Francisco; but no one, save the superstitions, believe that there are unusual prospects of the Pacific coast rolling into the ocean. Chief Delaney gave to Seattle a police administration such as she never before had. Will the city be so fortunate as to secure another like him, is the question of the hour. Forty Per Cent. of all the weighing scales used by vendors are said to be so constructed as to cheat the customer. Are United States Americans develing into professional thieves? Daddy Rockefeller gave $100,000 to the San Francisco sufferers, and then some one was so unkind as to remark that he did not give them a millionth part of what he had stolen from them. President Roosevelt's Mantle would look well upon the shoulders of Governor Folk, of Missouri; that is, unless the Republicans should find some candidate within their own ranks who is equally as deserving of the honor. When Congress has Tillman, Jeff Davis, Vardaman and John Sharp Williams rattling around its hall like mustard seed in a tin can, there certainly will be a "hot time in the old town." Blind Pig Raising in Seattle suburbs is far more remunerative, and a hundred times' less expensive than hog raising in the heart of the city. This, however, is the year for electing justices of the peace, and that may be the cause of it. Mississippi's Money, if Gov. Vardaman's plans do not miscarry, from a congressional represenfatlve standpoint, is to be just as counterfeit as the money used in Mississippi during the war. In other words, Senator Money is to be defeated for re-election. The good die young. Historical Society SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1906 Deming, New Mexico, was the scene of a pistol duel, the other day, between the county superintendent of schools and the principal of city schools, in which the former was instantly killed and the latter seriously, and, for the good of that community, let us hope fatally, wounded. The dispatch states that both parties were prominent church leaders and educators of very high standing. They may have been "church leaders," but neither of them possessed Christianity and still less religion. They may have had "lots of book learning," but were totally lacking in real education, or else they would never have committed so rash an act over so trivial a matter as the management of a school. Educated Christians do not carry deadly weapons on their persons for the purpose of murdering a fellow-being who happens to hold opinions at variance with their own. A Fair Trial is just what the friends of Moyer and Heywood are afraid of getting, thinks the Review, of Spokane. In other words, the Review would have us believe that they feel pretty much as did the Irishman who had been told by physicians that his time had come. "Why do you take it so hard, Pat," said his spiritual consoler, as the man tossed and tumbled on his bed and wept bitterly. "Are you afraid to meet your God?" "B'gorra, no," promptly replied Pat. "It's not me God that I'm afraid to meet, but it's the other fellow." Despite the Review's criticism, however, the Moyer case smacks very largely of a nigger in the woodpile. The Osborn Estate, so thinks Judge Handford, should go to his heirs, Mr. Osborn's will to the contrary, notwithstanding. Without stopping to consider the legal phases of the case, we believe the heirs of Osborn should have every dollar of his estate. The city does not need it, while the heirs in all probability sorely need it, and in fact it would be a God-send to them. Building monuments to dead men, for show, when hungry human beings need the money seems a good deal like straining at a gnat and swallowing an elephant. The City Council has not, as yet, made a move towards putting in the municipal ashphalt plant, in compliance with the mandates of the last publican convention. Move you that the matter be placed on the calendar at once for immediate action. Clarence D. Hillman is to have a new trifal, which, we snspect, will result in his acquital. It seems to be as difficult to convict a man of wealth, though he may be guilty, as it were for the proverbial camel to trot through the eye of a cambric needle. Senator Sam Piles has got the colored men on his back now. The junior senator has been endeavoring to secure a rescindment of the war department order to install a colored regiment at Fort Lawton, near Seattle, for the reason that certain business firms have entered a protest against the Negro soldiers. And now Senator Sam has drawn the color line and put his foot in it. The idea of a Republican politician setting down on his colored supporters is, to say the least, bad politics. Self-respecting colored men all over the state are grievously offended, and promise to take it out on "Little Sammie" at the first crack that they may get at him.—North Yakima Democrat. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 906 PRICE TEN CENTS BLICAN 6 PRICE TEN CENTS The Seattle Republican, 816 1-2 Third Avenue Foreign Immigration is causing Uncle Sam to scratch where he does not itch and wonder what he will do with the hungry horde. Joe Bailey's Prayer that, "we will all get better," sounds more like a chapter from farce comedy that it does a real peace-offering. Cedar River Water for the next six months will have to be taken in broken doses by Seattle lawn makers, or it will be a drain on the pocketbook. Direct Primaries are being asked for by voters from all over the state. It may not meet the approval of the bosses; but they had better not stand in the doorway to prevent its entering. An Army Offier with the Twenty-fifth regiment of infantry had a word to say anent the colored soldiers, in last week's Seattle Republican, which we hope Senator Sam Piles may nave read, for his own information. A Poor Man's Court has been established in London, that poor people may sue for their rights, whether they are or are not able to pay the court costs. If every court in London were made a "poor man's court," a long step in the right direction would be taken. Harriman, the railroad magnate, just dropped into Seattle this week to take a horroscopic view of his railroad projects hereabouts; and, judging from the vast amount of good thing he said about Seattle, he has but recently discovered that such a hamlet was really on the map. Washington and Seattle are coming, Mr. Harriman, and you have been sleeping on your opportunities by not getting here sooner. Honesty, pure and simple, is the very best cure for the disease of wealth. Dishonesty is the father, mother, sister, brother and every other relation of wealth. No man can honestly accumulate Rsckefellow's wealth in commercial enterprises. Burst your trusts, strangle your grafters, imprison your dishonest mechanics and tradesmen and if you do not cure the disease of wealth then, "search me." Jerome K. Jerome thinks American editors' humorous bump is so pronounced that it is ridiculous. He claims that they describe the preachers' sermons as, "real screamers;" the churches, "a bit too slow," and domestic tragedies as, "side-splitting." That American journalists do indulge too freely in such expressions we must admit; but we prefer our style of giving the people the news to that suggested by Mr. Jerome, "don'tcher know." Secretary Bonaparte has begun to publicly criticise the newspapers; but there are a very few Eng lish-speaking citizens of the United States who do not know better how to run any paper than does the editor of it.—Brewster Herald. --- It has been constantly stated that woman will make no new discoveries, that her vocation is to tramp miles behind in the path of man, making the road perhaps a little easier over which he has already passed, but that to lead, to invent, to discover, will never be her province. Miss Martha Craig claims, however, to have made discoveries which will not only destroy this theory, but will upset all the scientific teachings which are now generally accepted as the natural laws which govern the universe. All modern science is based on the theory of gravitation, but Miss Craig has ruthlessly overthrown the accepted idea of solar system, she denies the principle of gravitation or the attraction of matter, and in its stead she places a system of vortexes. She claims that every constellation has its vortex which holds the particles together by pressure, and she maintains that the atmosphere is in perpetual vortexlike motion, and that the light and heat which are supposed to come from the sun cannot really be derived alone from that source, because the higher you go the colder you get, but that light and heat are generated for the world by the friction of the vortex on the world's surface coming in contact with the solar rays. The discoveries which Miss Craig claims to have made have been handed to the Institut de France in Paris, where she has met with much encouragement. The history of this remarkable woman is interesting and romantic. She was born in an Irish valley, the descendant of Scotch covenanters, who took refuge in the Isle of Saints nearly three hundred years ago. She grew up knowing nothing of the world, and seeing nothing but the towering mountains which surrounded her, and as these offered little new in the way of study she turned her childish attention to the stars which glimmered above them. "Why do they not fall down?" she asked her father, who promptly quoted Sir Isaac Newton. "I do not believe Sir Isaac Newton," answered the little girl. "Then you will have to find out for yourself," and the child registered a vow there and then under the night heavens that she would discover the secret of the balance of the stars. In order to accomplish her purpose she endeavored to obtain information from the village school master, who was a quarryman, and who had been disabled in work. Then she came to an old minister from England, but she gained nothing but the theory advanced by Newton. A this time little Miss Craig wrote such a remarkable poem that she was adopted by a lady of means, and was sent to school in England, and afterwards in France. At every place she asked the same question, "Why do the stars remain in their places?" When she grew up as it was necessary for her to earn her living, she became a journalist, but side by side with her profession she devoured every book on natural laws, physics, geology and astronomy, and wandered over the face of the earth pursuing her studies. It then occurred to her that she must leave the paths of civilization if she was to receive an answer to her question, that she must go into the wilderness where she would be better able to get closer to the mirables of nature. She therefore went into Labrador and penetrated the wilds, with only two North Americans for her guides, and it was at the very furthest north, she tells us, that she discovered truths which she holds will upset the existing foundations of science. The result of her brarve attack upon accepted dogmas will be of the deepest interest.—Selected. The best description of the San Francisco disaster we have yet read was written by P. P. Carroll and published in last Sunday's Post-Intelligencer.

Its to be hoped that City Engineer Thomson will drive Portland cement completely out of the Seattle market. The firms handling it have seemingly come to an understanding among themselves to rob the city out of thousands of dollars by doubling the price and as soon as Mr. Thomson exposes their high handed scheme to plunder and pilage the taxpayers, then they ran to the Times, that is always ready to defend such plundering schemes, if it only gets its cut, and it declared that to expose the robbery would injure the credit of the city in the East. If the credit of Seattle is dependent on fostering graft on public improvements then it is better that the city have no credit. How long could any city live as a robbers' roost in which the citizens thereof not only rob outsiders but actually rob each other. The result of the first organized census of the British empire is issued in a Blue Book. It shows that the empire consists of an approximate area of 11,908,378 square miles, or more than one-fifth of the entire land area of the world. The population is about 400,000,000, of whom 54,000,000 are whites. The population is roughly distributed as follows: In Asia, 300,000,000; Africa, 43,000,000; Europe, 42,000,000; America, 7,500,000, and Australasia, 5,000,000. The most populous city after London is Calcutta. The highest proportion of married persons is in India, Natal, Cyprus and Canada. The lowest is in the West Indies. Depression in the birth rate is general almost everywhere, but is most remarkable in Australasia. The proportion of insane persons in the colonies is much below that in the United Kingdom. Insanity is markedly decreasing in India, despite consanguinous marriages. Indeed, the theory that such marriages produce mental unsoundness is little supported by these statistics. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. All that glitters is not guilt. Lots of kisses smack of neither love nor friendship. Most people find it easier to describe charity than to demonstrate it. There is more true philosophy in an inch of laughter than there is in a yard of sarcasm. Andrew J. Harlan, of Savannah, Mo., is the last survivor of the Thirty-first congress. having represented the Eleventh Indiana district. Although 91 years old, he is still hale and hearty. Among the members in this congress were such men as Daniel Wester, John C. Calhoun, William H. Seward, Stephen A. Douglas, Jefferson Davis and John J. Crittenden. --- Friday, May 4, 1906 RESULTS That's what the ACME BUSINESS COLLEGE is working for That is what we get—Results. Mr. Eugine Harris, now engaged in court reporting and land office work at Walla Walla, came to the Acme a few years ago to study shorthand. Now he is in a responsible position, with good pay.

Friday, May 4, 1906 THE PASSING THRONG The Money that has been, and is being, made by real estate speculation has not all gone into the hands of men, for Seattle is filled with business-like women, who are making fortunes in that class of investments. Two men and a small boy are daily at work on the government building. They are putting in full time. We doubt not that San Francisco will entirely rebuild before our federal building is completed. The superintendent of the Columbia school district got into a wordy dispute with one of his teachers last week. The superintendent asked a class in mathematics that if two street cars passed each other, which car traveled the faster. The superintendent claimed that the other car made the best time, which was disputed by the teacher. One can always locate insanity if the proper topic can be found. "Reform in spelling" appears to be one of the popular topics among the light-headed. The Blethen organ says, "reform spelling" is an indication of light-headedness. That is a stab at many first-class publications. Before the Times indulges in criticism of spelling it had better take a few lessons in some country school. During all the years of its existence it has yet to learn that there is no such word as "staunch." Ex-Mayor Wood showed his friendship for San Francisco by going there in person and aiding the stricken city. He has always held a warm spot in his heart for that city. While mayor of Seattle he bought all of his Alaska supplies in the southern city, and shipped them to the far north in the steamer Humboldt, which he had chartered. The president has expressed his opinion on almost every subject, the last, but not least interesting being, "liars." God and Roosevelt are of the same opinion on that evil; but the former left a more vigorous denunciation of that class of beings in his punishment of Ananias and Sapphira, the tax-jumpers, York, Columbia and Hillman City are knocking at the gates of Seattle for admission. Graham avenue, about one-half mile down the valley from Hillman City, is to be the south boundary line. The leaders of the annexation movement declare they will come in on one condition—that the territory to be added be taken in as a seperate ward of the city. This demand is not unreasonable. Sentiment in favor of annexation has been growing of late, and one of the causes is a desire for better schools. And now Washington street is to be re-graded, with a cut of 90 feet at Ninth avenue. This improvement would be of inestimable benefit to the old Renton street car line, as well as to the entire Rainier valley, by doing away with the Washington street counter weight which prevents that line from increasing the size of its cars and the number operated. City Engineer Thomson has many friends in Seattle, and justly, too. Be the mayor a Democrat or a Republican, Mr. Thomson is retained in office. But some of his best friends are wondering why it is that he permits the work of street improvement to drag along unceasingly. Why is it that the work on Third avenue is not being prosecuted? The "benzine buggy" demonstrated its superiority over the horse during the recent shake-up and fire in San Francisco. People who were there and witnessed the work of the auto are not now calling it the "rich man's plaything." The horses soon became exhausted from lack of food and water, but the automobile was buzzing through the city every hour of the day and night. When Edison perfects his storage battery and electricity is substituted for gasoline, it will come time to say good-bye to the usefulness of the horse. THE SDATTLE REPUBLICAN Registrar Smith, of the land office, is a candidate for re-appointment, subject to the will of Mr. Piles. In a recent interview the registrar declared that he "stood on his record." According to complaints made against the office the registrar stands in part on the record of Joe Gregory. The favoritism shown by the United States land office in this city has been bolder than under any former administration. Other registrars have shown partiality on the quiet, but now it is open and notorious. The weather prophets are predicting a dry summer. Those who have not an abundance of water can protect their gardens by freequent cultivation. We believe that humanity in general is getting better. Seattle people, in particular, seem to grow more charitable and kind-hearted, as is demonstrated by the splendid manner in which they have responded to the needs of San Francisco sufferers. There should be no friction between the mayor and the council. We don't know who is in the wrong, but we do know that if the mayor and council do not work together harmoniously Seattle will will be the sufferer thereby. Seattle seems as badly afflicted with men with the Muck Rake, such as President Roosevelt recently spoke of, as other communities, and the readers of the Seattle Daily Times know that only too well. In speaking of character assailants the President said: "The liar is no whit better than the thief, and if his mendacity takes the form of slander he is worse than most thieves. An epidemic of indiscriminate assault upon character does no good, but very great harm. If the whole picture is painted black, there remains no hue whereby to single out the rascals. Such painting induces a moral color blindness. People affected by it come to the conclusion that no man is really black, and no man really white, but they are all gray. Such a mental attitude in the public gives hope to every knave and is the despair of honest men." The President could not have spoken words that fit the editor of the Times more completely if he had been a constant reader of the editorial black vomit of that "sensational extra." Last Sunday the Times editorially slandered John L. Wilson, charging him with trying to defeat the appointment of Charley Sullivan, when Senator Wilson has repeatedly said in confidence that he thought Charley Sullivan one of the most efficient appointees Senator Piles had intimated he would favor and that so far as he, Wilson, was concerned he would be glad to see Charley Sullivan get the place. In speaking to Sullivan about the matter he laconically remarked, "You remember what your paper said of the Times in the last campaign—'Saw it in the Times? Damn lie?''"—It has not changed. The Times has slandered every man it has differed from by branding them as whelps, defaulters, thieves and murderers, and yet it lives, yea, thrives and grows fat. What manner of man, pray, have we in this moral part of the vineyard. A direct primary law, surrounded by proper safeguards, will stop the grafter, purify elections, will give to the people the control of the nomination and the election of proper officers, will increase the patriotism of the people and bring officer and the people into closer relationship. It will stop trading by steering committees and will abolish the political boss from politics. The boss is now trying to create the impression that the direct primary law would be a great expense to the people. He overlooks the fact that the people have not forgotten how the present state and county officers were nominated. It has not been so long since the people of King county saw headquarters opened up for the purpose of nominating the state and county tickets, and that the people had very little to do with the nomination. They saw 119 delegates selected by one boss, sent to the state convention; and the 119 votes were handled as one man in all combinations and trades. The people were ignored entirely in the nomination of a county ticket. It has not been so long that the people have forgotten that to secure the nomination of a mayor in this city on the Republican ticket a fund of more than $16,000 was raised and placed in the hands of a certain person before the candidacy of a mayor was announced. The people have not forgotten the enormous sum of money that was expended to secure the nomination of senators and representatives to elect United States senators in this state. It is a notorious fact that, by corporationss snd private parties, almost one-half million of dollars was expended two years ago to carry the Republican convention and the Republican legislature. THE DIRECT PRIMARY [New, Tacoma, Herald.] One of the very important matters on which the voters of the state of Washington will express themselves at the November elections this year will be the direct primary. The question has been before the people for several years, and public sentiment has been strongly in favor of taking control of the nominations of public officials out of the hands of the political machine. But on each occasion when an attempt was made to pass the desired law in the legislature the machine got in its deadly work of corruption and trickery, and the movement was defeated. At no previous time, however, were the chances of success so good as they are now. The vast majority of the people are opposed to a longer continuance of the underhand methods that have too long characterized the conduct of political affairs, and the work of bringing about a change in the prevailing system needs only to be prosecuted on a systematic basis to ensure complet success. The signs of the times are not to be misunderstood—in one way or another the pernicious influence of the bosses and wire-pullers must be eliminated. This may be accomplished in certain localities by the severing of party affiliations, but in the main such a course should not be necessary. The Republican party of this state has placed itself on record as being in favor of the direct primary, and the reform can be accomplished within that party. At present the indications point to the pledging of candidates for the legislature to support the enactment of a direct primary law at the next session of the legislature. If Republicans neglect to do this they will be in serious danger of defeat, for the Democratic party will also support the measure, and with the great mass of the people this year the direct primary will take precedence over all other issues.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN DOWN THE LINE [Spokane Outburst.] The recent appointment of State Senator Walker Henry to a federal position in the Douglas county land office proves that Senator Piles has not yet discharged the political debts contracted when Charles Sweeney withdrew from the recent senatorial race in his favor. In spite of Mr. Sweeney's assurance that he has removed his residence to New York, and will take no future part in state politics, it is evident that his relations with the junior senator are as close, if not closer, than was generally supposed at the time of his election. The voters of this county should remember the history of their representatives in the last legislature, and should exercise greater care in the selection of legislative material at the forthcoming party conventions. So far as The Outburst is concerned it will oppose the nomination or election of any man, irrespective of party or of person, who brought disgrace upon the state by supporting the present power behind the throne of Piles. If any of these men again seek political preferment it will give its reasons for opposing them, plainly and without undue beating around the bush. No man who knowingly attempted to prostitute the state by elevating such a character to the United States senate, can obtain the support of this paper. The Outburst will go down the line. Collector of Customs C. W. Ide will locate in Seattle when he quits office in June. Capt. J. W. Russell has been named for port warden to succeed Capt. Jensen. This is Mayor Moore's second attempt to relieve Jensen. Senator Piles has talked with the President concerning the appointment of P. C. Sullivan as U. S. district attorney to succeed J. A. Frye. Sam P. Myers has been named as stamp clerk in the internal revenue office in Seattle, former Stamp Clerk Bushnell having been promoted. The office of The Seattle Republican is now prepared to do neat job work. Office 8131/2 Third Avenue. Main 305. The latest move in the political kaleidoscope is the announcement that the Hon. Wilson R. Gay will be a candidate for state senator from the Thirty-sixth senatorial district to succeed Senator E. B. Palmer. The rumor was confirmed by Mr. Gay himself, who said "The statement is correct. I will be a candidate for state senator and will continue to be until the votes are all counted." According to the press dispatches the Republicans of Clarke County have united to make a campaign for a congressman from one of the Columbia River counties, and will make a vigorous attempt to break up the political combine that retains three out of the five senators and representatives of the state from the two adjoining counties of King and Pierce. The dispatches alluded to remind us that some time ago the Herald made a plea for a congressman from Gray's Harbor, and it has occurred to us that the Clarke County revolt presents an opportune time for the Republicans of the Harbor to sit up and take notice. A Gray's Harbor man would be more acceptable to Columbia River than one from Puget Sound, and intelligent combine of Southwestern Washington in the state convention would be a power such as would attract strength from other sections. It is a foregone conclusion that if Gray's Harbor is every properly improved it will be after the ability to make known the needs and possibilities of this natural harbor, and a vote to trade for its improvement. But, although all this is perfectly well known, it is to be feared that the old familiar game of peanut politics will again be played this year, and Chehalis County be once more shunted aside by some state office, of importance only to the incumbent.—Aberdeen Herald. Nay, nay, Pauline. Not this time. The present representatives will be renominated and elected. Harry A. Smith, an Oregon politician, committed suicide at Madison Park last Thursday. Friday, Nov 4 1903 MOB LAW IN MISSOURI. Three Negroes were lynched by a mob in Springfield, Missouri, April 14, the victims being hanged from the statute of the Goddess of Liberty, and then burned at the foot of the statue. The crime of which the Negroes were accused was assault on a white girl. Two were lynched; afterwards it was learned by the mob that they were not the men. Another trip was made to the jail, the doors were thrown wide open, another Negro was seized and lynched, and the other THREE REPUB prisoners were released. Of the three men killed one was not connected with the assault in any way and the other two were being held on suspicion only, their employer having offered to prove an alibi for them. Governor Folk has offered a reward for the arrest and conviction of members of the mob and declares his intention of punishing them to the full extent of the law. He says in his statement: "Every man who had anything to do with the murder of those Negroes at Springfield should be hanged. I am going to make an example of these men that will prevent any recurrence of such outrages in Missouri. The statue of the Goddess of Liberty will have no right to stand in the public square of Springfield until justice has been done." The crime of the mob is universally condemned by newspapers of all sections, the Chattanooga Times declaring that "the details of the outrage shame a Russian massacre, or a Chinese 'uprising' for cruelty and savagery." In the choice of the Goddess of Liberty as a gallows the Cleveland Plain Dealer finds "a sinister symbolism, which would have been hardly more expressive if the mob had gone a step further and torn down the statue, as other mobs have torn down the statues of those whom they deemed their foes." Governor Folk will be held strictly to his promise, says the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. "This affair has put him on trial as no other case he has had to deal with has. The unspeakable infamy of that Springfield mob's conduct is too flagrant to be ignored or treated in the perfunctory manner usually displayed by southern officials in such cases." A similar idea is expressed by the Chicago News in its declaration that "all law-abiding elements in the country look to him in the hope that the measures thus taken preface a thoroughgoing and systematic prosecution which will not terminate until every man who had a hand in the lynching has been made to feel the weight of the law." The Birmingham News does not believe that a jury of citizens of the county in which the lynching occurred will punish the guilty, even on conclusive evidence, "and what will be the result? More lynchings, of course." Missouri Must Vindicate Herself. Missouri papers are especially strong in their demand for the vindication of the law, the Kansas City Journal declaring: "The whole state must suffer the stigma of outlawry that this mob has brought upon it. The only thing that can be done now is to hunt down the leaders of the mob and bring them to summary punishment. Springfield can do this, and the self-respect of that community and the good name of the state demand that it be done at once." The lynchers theory of a community must be overthrown, is the demand of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "Missouri must now, regardless of the cost and of the labor required, assert the majesty of the law against those who have dragged it through an orgy of brutality as foul as was ever conceived and executed by any mob of which there is a record. Make it hot for the fiends who batter down jails, drag suspect prisoners to their death, burn their bodies and dawn the law."—Public Opinion. Bryan or Hearst in the presidential chair would mean a public calamity and a majority of even the Democrats all over the country seem to be of a like opinion. A Human Life is nothing in comparison to a $5 bill in the eyes of the owner of the ambulance for the sick. Money, money, money, is what counts in this land of ours where the citizens are money mad. Friday, May 4, 1906 TALES OF THE TOWN wearer errs” reer eee Trust-ridden is totally inadequate to express the condition of the poor man, living in a city. He is forced to pay two prices, and sometimes even more, for everything he euts and drinks. The latest trust to form, which is aimed at the poor man especially, in Seattle, is the vegetable trust, which bas advanc- ed the prices of table vegetables 100 per cent over those of previous years. Any merchant or driver of a vegetable wagon who sells below the trust price is fined $100, and such merchant so fined will not be furnished with vegetables in future until such fine shall have been paid: and any driver so underselling is barred from driving for any gardener until said fine of $100 is paid. Thus the poor man who works for $2.50 per day must pay two prices for his vegéta- bles, three prices for the chalk and water, which the dealers call milk; four prices for fish that is taken from streams in boat loads and many of them thrown away lest the people get too many; two prices for the groceries he uses, and another half price for thieving scales that weigh the articles of consump- tion. In short, everything the poor man uses he must pay two and three times more than he would have to do was honesty the watchword, and all out of the $2.50 per day salary. That sooner or later there will be a great uprising among the poor work- ing folk (not skilled laborers), goes without saying, and once aroused there is no telling whereit will end. President Roosevelt saw this when recensly he spoke on a cure for the wealth disease. Already trust news- papers have branded him a socialist, hoping thereby to frighten him from further traveling that road of reform. * + * The Forum had a called meeting last Sunday, which met at the Afro-American Realty and Invest- ment Hall. The meeting was well attended and transacted some matters pertaining to the future ac- tions of its body politic. The president thought the time ripe for The Forum to make arrangements to get permanent quarters for its meeting place. After the matter had been fully discussed it was decided to rent the above named hall and to hold future meet- ings at that place. It was also decided that The Forum hold memorial exercises Sunday, May 27, and that the Grand Army posts of the city be invited to send delegations to be present at those exercises. The president was instructed to invite the Rev. M. ‘A. Matihews, of this city, to address The Forum on that occasion. Mr. John Robinson addressed the club, and it was the concensus of opinion that it was the most timely and instructive paper that has been presented to The Forum. The next meeting will be held Sunday, May 13. The leading speaker for that meeting will be Mr. W. C. Peoples, and his subject will be: ‘Business Opportunities For Afro- Americans In Seattle.” After this, there will be an open meeting, in which every one knowing of busi- ness opportunities in whfch Afro-Americans could profitably engage will make the fact known to The Forum. It is hoped that you and each of you will be _ Present. The meeting will be called to order at 3:45 o'clock, p. m.. and, as stated above, will be held at the Afro-American Realty and Investment Hall, 2613 East Madison street. *. * * Our Sammy, the junior senator, was caught nap- ping in the capital city last week. He told the press he did not know whether P. C. Sullivan wanted the United States district attorneyship or not, when en en 8 at. tate Enamea ha nramiaad tha niarca THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN In the death of Thomas R. Delaney the city of Se- attle loses a most estimable official. During the twenty-six months he was chief of police he wascon- fined to his bed about six months, hence, many of his reforms in the police department had fallen into disuse, even before he actually passed out of office. It can be truly said of Chief Delaney that he gave Se- attle the cleanest police administration that she has had since the city passed the 30,000 population mark. Other chiefs, under similar circumstances, might have done the same thing; but they did not, hence the praise belongs to Chief Delaney. For many years, prior to his becoming chief of the Seattle po- lice force, he was in the government cuatoms service, and there he earned for himself the soubriquet of Tom Delaney, the Square. He was, if there be such aman inthe United States, as square as a die, and was never known to give a fellow man anything but a fair deal, even to sending him to the gallows, if he deserved it. Would to Gud this country had more men who were built along the same lines as was Tom Delaney ; who knew no man by his nationality, his religion nor his politics, but by his action, his deportment and his character. But the good, it has been said, die young, and ‘in the midst of life we are in death.”’ Let us hope that Tom Delaney is now in “‘that house, not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.”’ IS THE NEGRO BEYOND REDEMPTION. Charles Francis Adams, after a visit to Africa, has come back firmly convinced that the United States is on the wrong track entirely in regard to the race problem. He was six weeks in Africa and his observations are related in interesting manner in the Century magazine, but as to his vonclusions there will be differences of opinion, especially among those who have seen the devel- opment of the Negro after attendance at Tuskegee or Hampton institutes. Mr. Adams no longer believes that the real ob- stacle in the way of the Negro is that he has never been given a chance. Seeing him in his native clime he failed to discover “the slightest inherent power of development.” “I found myself,” he adds, “most impressed by a realizing sense of the appalling amount of error and cant in which we of the United States have indulged on this topic. We have actually wal- lowed in a mire of self sufficient ignorance. Hav- ing eyes, we will not see.” Some persons will ask why it should be neces- sary to go to Africa to see. Are there not evi- dences in our own land that the Negro can be de- veloped? How should it be expected that in his native country and among the surroundings there prevailing there should be signs of development? Does one go out among the full-blood Indians who have strongly resisted the advances of white civ- ‘ilization to find improved conditions?” No stretch of the imagination is required to un- derstand that the condition of the Negro in dark- est Africa is low and vile, measured by the stand- ard of Boston enlightenment. Many men still liv ing in America could, with recollections of the ar- rival of slave ships, give testimony like that of Mr. Adams. But the results of tutelage in a civ- ilized community do not bear out the argument that the Negro is incapable of development. It is strange that a man like Charles Francis Adams, who certainly knows of the effect of educatiort upon the Negro, should have allowed his judgment to be so suddenly changed by seeing the black man in his native condition Spokesman Review.

BROOKS @€ CO., 831 Second Ave. Arcade Building (2 The Late Thomas Delaney “The Lutherans have 5,000 churches of the Ger- man tongue; 4,000 in which Scandinavian is spoken; about 120 for people of other tongues. The foreign-speaking Lutheran congregations number 1,300,000 communicants. The Methodists have 1,170 German and Scandinavian churches, with 1,000 ministers and 84,000 members; they have missionaries also at work among the Italians, Bohemians, Hungarians, Portuguese, Finns, French Canadians and Japanese. The Baptists have 600 German and Scandinavian congregations and work also among the Italians, Japanese and French Canadians. The Congregationalists have 260 such congregations and 240 missionaries preaching in eighteen different languages to our foreign popu- lation. The Presbyterians have 270 foreign con- gregations. The Episcopal church has forty-two Swedish parishes and missions, with twenty-eight Swedish-speaking clergymen; four Italian congre- gations, and a few parochial missions for Oriental nationalities and Germans.” ‘ THE CLOISTER IN BELGIUM. The cloister question has now grown to be a burning one politically and economically, and the next elections will largely center about the ma- terial side of spiritual things, and we may be sure that if a political change is brought about the people will clearly show what they think about the money power of the churches and or- ders. In 1846, at the time of the first census, there were 779 religious orders with 11,968 members, but today there are 4,000 orders with 50,000 mem- bers. Thus there are far more—in proportion to the size of Belgium—than there were in France before the Waldeck-Rousseau law, when it was estimated that France contained 190,000 members of religious orders. The wealth of these orders has moved forward in the same way as their nu: merical strength; in 1885 the orders caring for sick persons expended $200,000, in 1897 $280,000, and in 1905 at least $400,000. When we consider the actual property, however, of the orders the figures are still more striking. Thus the orders possess absolutely real properly with a tax value of $130,000,000; real property rented by them has a value of $25,000,000, or a total in the possession of the religious bodies of $155,000,000. This for Belgium is likewise far more in proportion than was the case in France; in 1900 the total wealth of the French orders was estimated at a trifle over $200,000,000, and to the value of the real property in Belgium must be added the sum of $75,000,000 for personal property, or a total of $230,000,000. Our Sammy evidently lost his head when he ad- vised Gov. Mead to call a special meeting of the leg- slature to consider the San Francisco disaster.

AD REPUB ACME The management of the Third Ave- nue Theatre has reserved for the end- ing of the spring season the best play that has been seen there for years, “A Texas Ranger” is the title, and it is an elaborate scenic production and is acted by just as good a company as any play that has been presented in Seattle this season. All the actors and actresses are individually capable and collectively they give a performance that is amazingly interesting. The summer season for 1906 opens at the Third Avenue Theatre next Sunday af- ternoon. The Aylesworth Company will be the attraction. They come heer direct from the East for a season of ten weeks. All the principal mem- bers of the company have been brought here direct by the management, Mr. Robert J. Aylesworth, and each play will be given an elaborate scenic ves- ture. The company is composed of stock actors and actresses, selected on account of their special qualification for this kind of work, and will prob- ably become as big favorites as the Taylor Company did here last season. The fact that several members of that organization have been engaged by Mr. Aylesworth displays hic good judg- ment. The opening play next Sunday will be a melodrama embracing all the most salient features of this class of dramatic lore “To Die At Dawn.” The scenes of the play are laid in Kentucky The dialogue is crisp, and the action rapid. The production will be scenic- ally the biggest of the season. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches. Low rates.
