SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XII, NO. 50 SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Established May, 1904. H. R. Cayton .....Editor and Publisher Susie Revels Cayton .....Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year .....$2.00 Six Months .....1.00 Three Months ......60 Published every Friday at 816½ Third Avenue. Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Second-class Mail Matter. Phoenix-Like, out of the smouldering embers, is now in order for North Yakima, she having sustained a $200,000 loss by fire last Saturday. Killing is too good for any man who will lead to ruin young girls of tender years, and doubly so when he selects two sisters for his victims. The Hotel Washington balled itself out of existence last Monday evening, but it's Moore than probable that another, more modern, will take its place. Letter Writing is the rock on which many a political ship has foundered, and some of the wrecks may be found in Piles' voting booth after the next election. Politics makes strange bedfellows, and in the senatorial booths of the Third and Seventh wards of this city the man with the razor had better be watched. "Holy Roller Joshua" was not able to stop neither the son nor the brother. So may it be with all libertines and impostors who break up the happiness of a home. The Seattle Commercial Club had a great "smoker" last Monday evening. Come, come, now! Why call it out of its name? It might have been a "steamer." Funston's Boom for the presidency in 1908 hails from the "stars" instead of from the farm, as did his illustrious father's some years ago; for which reason it is not nearly so liable to go to seed. "More Time," pleads Adams, the former cashier at the assay office in this city, who let the gold dust stick to his fingers. Well, it is predicted that he will get llfe, so what more does he want? Blue Monday Morning, for the most part, may be very applicable to follow the usually happy Sunday hours, but there was excitement enough in Seattle last Monday to brace up most any old thing. John Barleycorn is a "mighty powerful" man in a "knock-down" mix-up, but he seems to be out of his element as a member of the United States senate, and the state of Washington has found that out. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1906 Saloon Sunday Closing is to be made an issue in Seattle, if the edict sent out by the Ministerial Association of this city, last Monday, has the desired effect. If grocers can make a living by closing their stores at 6 o'clock p.m. during the days of the week and all day Sunday, saloons can also do so. Grocery stores being the more essential of the two the people can get along very well if the saloons close their doores and never open again. Slobbering over R. H. Thomson, of Seattle, on the part of the Union, of Walla Walla, will not get Senator Ankney a single vote in Seattle. We know Thomson is the best civil engineer for a municipality in the West, and wo do not give a tinker's damn whether you praise or abuse him. Senator Clark, of Montana, declares he will retire from public life when his senatorial term expires. The senator doubtless already sees the handwriting on the wall. Get a move on you, Senator Anknev, and do not lag behind your procession. What say von? Speaker Cannon has passed his three seore and ten milestone and is still a "gay old beau." The good die young, is an old adage, but the term "young" has either been misinterpreted, or Uncle Joe is a striking exception to the rule. Sunrise Cush took a few stray shots at John Sharp Williams' Democratic campaign float and punctured it so badly that John Sharp will either have to make a new one or spend a good deal of his valuable time in repairing the old one. Pitchfork Tillman refused to accept an invitation to dine with the President one day last week, which is a very unusual thing for a senator to do;but Marrse Ben may have had fears of butting into Br'er Booker while at the White House. Alaska, so says congress, may be represented at the national capitol, which has brought out many aspirants for the honor who promise to kick up so much hades that congress will doubtless have to rescind the order. "Harriman Demands Justice From Seattle," is a Bellingham headline. Well, he can't get it, for Seattle folk swore years ago to never lynch anyone else, however henious the crime they may have committed. Easy Money is responsible for more men's downfall than anything else. Work! work! work for what you want, and when it is yours it will give you more real comfort than all the wealth of the world. "Fourih Avenue, or no Union Pacific," shouts Harriman. Of what service, pray, would the Union Pacific be to Seattle if she is to give up her principal thoroughfares to get it? A city without an entrance only that and nothing more. The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a blank or heavily blurred page with no visible content. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 WORLD'S NOTABLE EARTHQUAKES The recent earthquake disaster at San francisco has set the historians to thinking and talking about former earthquakes, of which there is a record, and the same is herewith transmitted: Year Place No. Lives lost 1704. Yeddo. 190,000 1717. Alguiers. 18,000 1726. Palermo. 6,000 1731. Pekin 95,000 1746. Lima 18,000 1754. Cairo 40,000 1755. Lisbon 37,000 1773. Guatemala 33,900 1797. Quito 41,000 1822. Aleppo 2,000 1861. Mendoza, South America 12,000 1868. Arica 6,000 1870. Manila 3,000 1884. Ischia 2,000 This is a total of 521,000 lives lost by earthquakes in 157 years. The greatest loss in history was at Yeddo, Japan, in 1703, when 190,000 lives were lost. The next greatest was at Pekin, China, in 1731, when the loss was 95,000. The earthquake at Lisbon, Portugal, occured on All Saints' day. Nov. 1, 1775, when within eight mlnutes most of the houses in Lisbon were destroyed, and 50,000 lives were lost, though Mulhall puts the number at 35,009. Nearly 3,000 persons who had taken refuge on a quay on the banks of the Tagus were engulfed by a sea wave 40 feet high. The damage was estimated at 20,000,000 pounds, sterling, or about $100,000,000. According to Humboldt the entire snrface disturbed by this earthquake was equal to four times the area of Europe. The shock was felt as far as Scotland on the north, Asia Minor on the east, Morocco on the south and the West Indies on the west. The heaviest earthquake that ever occurred in the United States, until the recent one, occured in Charleston, South Carolina, August 31, 1866, when several hundred buildings were shaken to pieces and three-fourths of the whole number in the city made uninbabitable. Scores of people were killed and the loss of property amounted to $8,000,000. AY Yesterday we were asked if we ever saw a bald-headed woman. We answered no, we never did, nor did we ever see a woman waltzing around town in her shirtsleeves, with a cigar in her teeth and running into every saloon she saw. We have never seen a woman go fishing with a bottle in her pocket; sit on the damp ground all day and come home drunk at night. Nor have I ever seen a woman yank off her coat and say she could lick any man in town. God bless her, she's not built that way.—Olympia Chronicle. Physicians, it is claimed, ares hort lived. It is doubtless, a retribution on them for being responsible for the short lives of so many of their patients. Gout and diabetis seem to be their deadly foes. Mobocracy is still holding sway throughout the United States, despite the very high intelligence and the extreme Christianity of her people. Mayor Moore may not have been in Ernst when he made his recent appointment to the park board. He, therefore, is expected to name a man for the place in the near future. ```markdown ``` PRICE TEN NOT BUILT THAT WAY Friday, May 11, 1906 A HUMAN MONSTER KILLED At an early hour last Monday morning, one George Mitchell, without word or warning, shot, through the brain, from the effects of which he instantly died, one Franz Edmund Creffield, on First avenue, in the very heart of the city. Both of the actors in this tragedy are from Oregon, and strangers in this city. The deceased was the leader of a fanatical religious organization that flourished in Oregon a few years ago, and Mitchell claims that he led to ruin two of his sisters, for which he swore eternal vengeance against him. He has followed Creffield from place to place, finally overtaking him in this city last Monday morning, with the above fatal results. The community in general sympathizes with Mitchell, and if he is ever tried for the shooting, and what he says is found to be true, no jury will convict him. Men who use religious frenzies with which to ruin young girls are such monsters that it is a pity they could not be killed a dozen times over for the beastly crime. This paper has no desire to try this case in its columns, and it is up to Mitchell to make good his statements. If he does this, then the man who would convict him is not a whit better than the deceased. There are too many liberties being taken with young girls by men of mature years, and somebody, somewhere down the line, shoule call a sudden halt. VERY MUCH LIARS Bobby Boyce, who has earned the soubriquet in daily newspaper circles of being a crackerjack, stemwinder for hair-raising stories that read good, and yet not a word of truth in them from beginning to end, is again under the lime-light. Bobby first gained prominence along this line when Harry Tracy was doing a stunt in and about Seattle. There are those in this city who are unkind enough to hint that Bobby fixed up a deal with Tracey to take a shot at him, for the sake of newspaper notoriety, and that Tracey got mixed in his descriptions and actually shot Bobby. But even that was so slight that Bobby was almost well before he got home and went to bed; but it served him and his paper well. Bobby's latest stunt was at San Francisco, he having been despatched there by the "sheet" that made a bunch of money by issuing fake extras, at the time of the great earthquake horror. He fired letter after letter to his Seattle paper, which were so ridiculous that Gov. Pardee wired the following communication to the Times: "Are all the people connected with your paper as big liars as Robert W. Boyce, your staff correspondent here? If so, you have the best collection of champion liars the world has ever seen. His items of April 28, headed 'Pardee Hinders Work of Relief,' brands him as not only a liar, but a fool, and casts some doubt on the sanity of your news editor for having printed it. George C. Pardee, Governor of California." GIRL SADUCERS CHASTISED "I do not approve of shooting men down without warning, nor in men taking the law in their own hands when a crime has been committed, but there are so many men in Seattle who make a profession of seducing young girls, and married women, too, who happen to be in financial straits, that I am inclined to think the killing of a few such libertines would greatly reduce the practice," said a prominent hotel man one day this week. "No one knows," he continued, "how much of such heathenish brutality is being carried on, from day to day, in Seattle. Unless the hotel man happens to know the girl who is being taken to his room by one of these brutes, as his wife, he can enter no objection. A few days ago, however, I caught a scoundrel red-handed in one of my rooms, and with him was not one, but two young THE SDATTLE REPUBLICAN girls, neither of whom was eighteen years of age. I read him a lecture he will not soon forget, and threatened to send for an officer. He whined like a crouching cur, and for the sake of the girls I passed him up. He was a regular roomer, but the next day he and three other wretches of his stripe found quarters in another hotel." The Seattle Republican thinks the fellow should have been arrested and the girls held as witnesses. AN OVERFLOW OF JUBILEEISM Seattle was almost rocked away for three days last week as two "Original Nashville Jubilee Singers" were doing the town at the same time. Both companies do excellent concert and chorus work, and richly merit the admission price charged to their entertainments. The Williams Jubilee, however, seems to do better chorus and quartet work, while the other company, of which Miss Neil Hawkins is a member, does the better individual work. These colored concert companies make a specialty of churches in which to give their performances, and by giving the church a percentage of the gate money quite a snug little sum is realized from each performance, which, in the end, means a handsome reward. But whether designedly or otherwise, both of the companies were in Seattle at the same time, hence, neither of them realized as much money as they would have done had they appeared here on separate dates. Negroes seem always the Negro's worst enemy. The Williams Company is an independent concern, while the other belongs to a syndicate, and the syndicate desiring to wreck the independent company, is playing off one aggregation of Afro-Americans against another. What a pity the members of both companies do not take a tumble to the real situation. MANY EVIL-HEARTED MEN An attractive face woman comes tripping down the street of a busy, bustling city, seemingly seeing no one. She carefully elbows her way through the passing throng, mostly male, and is only casually observed by them, for they are too busy to notice even a pretty face woman. Suddenly, however, she hesitates, then stops, and finally steps to the side of the street, and, bending over, raises her skirt and begins to tie her shoe, which had become untied. Then it is that every man within half a block stops and begins watching her as if she were in the act of committing suicide. But she is only tying her shoe, and, in most instances, nothing, save her foot, is exposed to view; yet, every man near will gawk at her as though they expected to see her undress from head to foot, right there on the street. Will some one, with more experience than the writer of this, explain why this is? When the men of our land and countrp become so depraved in mind as to continually be on the allert for an opportunity to take advantage of every woman they may meet it can be readily understood why men, not built that way, are not afraid to shoot to death the man who takes undue advantage of their sisters. It is almost time for more of us who have sisters to declare ourselves willing to die for the protection of their honors. \*\*\* J. EDWARD HAWKINS EXPLAINS Seattle Daily Times, April 23, 1906:—Twenty-five dollars was contributed to the San Francisco relief fund by a number of Colored citizens of Seattle, who met Thursday evening in the hall of the Afro-American Club. The money was given to J. E. Hawkins to turn into the Chamber of Commerce fund, and through an inadvertance he was given credit for the amount. He asks taht the mistake be made public. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, April 23, 1906:— Attorney J. E. Hawkins made the statement yesterday that he had been given credit for contributing $25 toward the relief fund, when, as a matter of fact, he merely acted as agent for a number of Colored people, who met in the office of the Afro-American Company, and took up a subscription. In your issue of April 27, 1906, the following appeared: To Whom It May Concern: We beg leave to state that Attorney J. E. Hawkins is in no way connected or interested in the Afro-American Realty & Investment Company, other than being a minor stockholder in the same, being in no way connected with the management thereof. Further, that the above mentioned company deplores the action of the above named J. E. Hawkins, relative to the "relief fund," at the opening of their new hall at No 2613 East Madison street, on the evening of April 19, last, and that we are pleased to announce that the same has been rectified by the daily press. Very respectfully, The Afro-American Realty & Investment Co. B. F. TUTT, President. By W. C. PEOPLES, Manager. I take it that the first and second paragraphs are self explanatory. I have approached Mr. B. F. Tutt, president of the company, given credit for having published the above letter, and he advised me that the same was unauthorized by him and was published without his knowledge or consent, and that the same would be corrected, as some of my friends might be interested in knowing what action on my part called for the above criticism, by giving to this matter the added publicity. I shall hereafter consider the controversy closed. Respectfully submitted, J. E. HAWKINS. I have read the above statement of J. E. Hawkins, and endorse the same. B. F. TUTT, President Afro-American Realty & Investment Co. \* \* \* The Times Is Fiction. You publish that, "If you saw it in the Times, it's a damn lie," which may be more or less true, but I wish to take issue with you as to the allegation on the whole for the Times carries a self-advertising headline which declares that the long suit of the Times is its Sunday fiction department, which, to my mind," said Major Ingram, an old-time Seattle journalist, "is absolutely correct. If the Times, Sunday or otherwise, ever publishes anything else but fiction then I must have missed seeing that issue of the paper, and I have not missed seeing many of them." As speaks Major Ingram so speak a great majority of the readers of that yellow journal. To be sure it is extensively read and so also are dime novels and hair-raising detective stories, but who ever believed one of them save some 14-year-old, cigarette-smoking, back alley urchin. * * * Returning to the Soil Is what a great many men, who in boyhood deserted the farm to follow a profession in the city, are now doing. It is the ambition of the professional man just now to get back to the country to live, even if he does do business in the city. A hundred or more lawyers in Seattle have purchased either large or small country homes on which they live during the summer months and many of them the whole year. They are doing this, first, because in the country life is not near so strenuous and, secondly, because it's not one-half so expensive to maintain their families. There is a tendency in the United States among the citizens to flock to the city, where those who get work have so many hours to watch the boss and equally as many to loaf about resorts. The latest victim in Seattle to getting a home in the country is Wilson R. Gay, who for five years was United States district attorney and who is a well known practitioner at the bar of this county and state, he having purchased a ninety-five acre tract a few miles east of Renton. If workingmen would but try to either get in the country or in the suburbs, where they could raise a great portion of what they eat, they would be a thousand times more independent and a million times happier. Friday, May 4, 1906 TNS: Ore Nes: Sais © At the Afro-American Realty & Investment Hall next Sunday at 3:45 p. m. The Forum will hold its regular bimonthly meeting. It will be an open meeting and the members and visitors will be at liberty to discuss any point of interest to the Negroes of this community. W. C. Peoples will be the leading speaker, who will address The Forum on, “The Business Opportunities of the Negro in Seattle,” after which everyone knowing of any business opportunity in which a Negro can profitably engage in this city or community is requested to tell those present all about 8.2% good attendance is expected as there will be many good things said. Final preparations for the Sun- day memorial services prior to Decoration Day will be made and a full house is desired. Remem- ber that The Forum will meet at 3:45 o’clock Sunday, May 13th, and at the Afro-American Realty & Investment Hall, 2613 East Madison street. a Ge A Water Famine. Unless the water department does something and does it soon, there will be more or less suffer- ing for water in Seattle and that, too, despite the fact her water supply is sufficient to accommodate cities as large as London and New York all at once, after Seattle has gotten all she needs. On Queen Anne Hill, Capitol Hill, Renton Hill and other high places of the city the residents are without water and many of the lawns are burning on that account. Most of the present shortage is due to the vast amount of hydraulicing that’s go- ing on in the city, which, under the circumstances, should be discontinued at least for the present. The mains from Cedar river are totally inadequate to bring a sufficient amount of water for home and commercial consumption, to say nothing of using it for hydraulicing purposes, and until larger or more mains be installed as well as more stor- age capacity the water should be used exclusively for home and commercial purposes. THE PASSING THRONG We understand Boston capital is back of the construction of a building on the northeast cor- ner of Columbia and Second. It is to be a two- story shack. Boston capital seems to be timid in Seattle, which is evidenced by a number of two- story structures. We somehow like the St. Louis style of doing things. It is better for Seattle than the Boston way. ee 8 Roosevelt, if we remember correctly, has tackled nearly every subject and got off dead wrong on only one, the muck rake. We hope to hear of him tackling commercial dishonesty soon. That is a great field and calls for the president’s assistance. a em We are fearful that with increased age our en- gineer, Mr. Thomson, is getting slow. Work in all parts of the city seems to drag along most any old way, and at places the errors of the office are painful. 8 « Mitchell, one of the proprietors of the Bismarck, met with a peculiar accident a few days ago. He was about to deliver one of the ten pin balls in an exciting game when he slipped and gave his body such a fearful twist that his spleen was mis- placed, one of his kidneys turned upside down and one yertebrae was not found until the next day. He will be confined to his room for a week or more, He was so much improved Sunday that he could sit up and notice things. eee And now the “vegeta” men have entered into a combine. We are gradually falling into the evil ways of California, which is one of the worst com- bine and trust-ridden states in the Union. According to the Star, San Francisco was a very wicked city, and was destroyed by the direct or- ders of the Almighty. Did the Star get its infor- mation from Florance Marvin? Col. W. R. Gay wants to be a state senator. Well, if he should be elected, there would not be amore popular member in that body of lawmakers, and as to ability and eloquence he would have no superior. We will also say for the Colonel that THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN we believe he would always be found voting for reform legislation. * 8 The news boys play a great many jokes on the unsuspecting public and only once in a great while does a person get a chance to even up. The op- portunity came, however, to a man on Union Street last Sunday morning. Three boys were standing in front of a house occupied by lodgers, one occupying a room with only a skylight win- dow, which was partly raised. The noise of the boys awoke the sleeping roomer at an early hour. He stepped out of the skylight, “here, boy, bring me a paper.” The three boys hustled in every di- rection for awhile while the roomer insisted on being supplied with a P.-I. The boys finally gave up the chase, and as they walked away, one re- marked, “I wonder where the darn fool is.” ee 8 A benzine buggy race took place on Union Street between one and two o’clock last Tuesday after> noon between two drivers. They struck a gait but little less than fifty miles an hour and continued for three or four blocks. It was quite a treat for those who witnessed the contest. Fortunately the street was ciear from Seventh to the P.-I. build- ing. eee The scholars in the sixth grade in the Central school are badly worked up over the fate of three girls who played “hookey” one day last week. They evaded the vigilance of the “hookey cop,” put one of the scholars gave them away to the teacher. They have been threatened with Mercer Island reform school and the juvenile court. The informer is not faring at the hands of her school- mates. ee The benzine buggy has added another victim to its long list of dead and injured. There is probably no way of preventing accidents in the management of them. Men will be careless in the management of the benzine buggy as long as they are used the same as men are careless in handling horses, street cars or trains. To reduce these accidents to a minimum, a law should be passed creating a lien on the machine for injuries sustained, as well as a cause of action against the owner. The baseball fans seem to be up against it in Se- attle. The game is not as popular as it was a few years ago. The admirers of the great American game are praying for the appearance of a second Dugdale. The latest annexation scheme is to take in the Rainier valley from the city limits to Rainier Beach. Brighton and Rainier will paralyze the proportion if it ever comes to a vote, but in Hill- man City, Columbia and Southeast Seattle the sentiment is in favor of coming in, provided the territory will be made a ward. Some of the peo- ple down there object to being annexed to the First ward. While the mayor and council are monkeying with the office of harbormaster, Mr. Jensen is com- placently discharging the duties of the office and drawing his pay with equal regularity. | Phone Red 6735 | | CHAS.

Friday, My 41, 1906 POLITICAL POT-PIE Di actahih sl ohne hal bait tach = ata ry otha Tears 2 IP an Me os a OS to assume definite shape, ae will be seen from the following, which is reproduced from The Forum, of Tacoma: While the defeat of the Hon. R. L. McCormick is to be regretted, we know that he is a game loser and recognize that he was the center of a factional strife that would have taken anyone down to defeat. He also knows that a factional fight is no respector of persons. Mr. McCormick takes his defeat as a mat- ter of course, and he isa bigger man now than the day he was nominated. The municipal fight just closed has shattered the hopes of many men; the sun has set on the ambition of many aspirants; some factions have come together. The Fawcett wing of the party has had its fangs drawn, and Angelo V. ap pears regular; Hawley, of South Tacoma, has made hus last effective fight, aud the people of the car-shop suburbs have a double reason for celebrating the Glorious Fourth. (Mr. McCormick will be a candidate for United States senator against the Ankney-Crocker bunch.— Ed. Republican.) Ralph Metcalf may find a tew rocks in his path to the senate, but no blame should attach to him, for Metcalf is always regular. Joe Lingerman, who gen- erally tries to be on all sides of any question, may as well pull down his rod for senator, for from now on he is a bad risk, as insurance men say. It is going to be a difficult matter to get the dif- different factions together. This fact, however, has had no effect on the candidates who have offered themselves on the altar as a sacrifice. Candidates are as thick now as California refu- gees. Senator Bronsen has decided not to stand for re-election, but Ralph Metcalf, Eugene Carr, Dr. Sehug and Captain Winchester have all shied their castor in the fight, Dr. Schug appears to be the fa- vorite at this writing, with Metcalf as a close second. Sid Burley has been talked of, and if he should enter somebody would get hurt. Space forbids us mention- ing the candidates for representative in that district. Dave Bevin is, of course, a candidate, and will prob- ably be re-nominated. Johnnie Murray is a candi- date for county commissioner, and his fight is going to mnddy the water for somebody. This fight will cut a great figure in both the senatorial and repre- sentative contests. Lee Van Slykes’ place will be filled by someone from the country, Dr. LeCrone, good-natured Doc., is making a strenuous fight to succeed himself. It looks like a pity to take this away from Doe, but he is sucha cheerful loser that some of the boys say they like to see him lose for that reason. The senator is really entitled to this, and it’s on the square with us when we say it would be like taking candy from a baby to take this job away from him. When Senator Foster double-crossed him on the postoffice (and he intend ed to do that all the time), it was a pathetic sight te see Doc. smile and look pleasant. To some men thig would have been a bitter pill, but Doc. never had an unkind word for Foster, always willing to excuse him. When one is possessed of such a gentle temperament it is hard to know that a mitt is being framed up now that will put Doc. out of commission. John Cromwell is a candidate to succeed Doc., but how Cromwell expects to defeat Cushman and nominate himself is past all human understand- ing. Frank Cushman is strong in the county, and the curbstone politician who expects to fight him had better locate a soft spot on which to light. Crom- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ice tothe community in appointing Votaw, though jit would be asking too much of Mr. Cromwell to ask him to share in this belief. Jess. Jones is the formidable candidate for sena- tor in this district, and without all signs fail he will land, though Lorenzo Dow hasa following. Jesse Poyns has been spoken of, as has also Ben Olson. Poyns would perhaps be satisfied to go back to the House. Ericson, of Parkland, is a candidate to suc- ceed Tom Hamilton and has a good chance of bein nominated, Erickson would make a clean-cut mem - ber, and would be heard from. Tf Charley Sullivan succeeds Frye as United States attorney Christian is slated for Chief Deputy. This would make a vacancy in the 27th senatorial, and what a pretty scrap would be put up for this place, hough the fortunate one would not have a chance to vote for U. 8. Senator, but would bein line to suc- ceed nimself for the regular term, which would help some. Dr. Sheets, of Buckley, is a candidate to succeed himself from the 33d district, though his colleague, Dr. Roberts, has refused to run, preferring to wait for Carey Stewars’s seat in the senate. It is said that Stewart is to retire from politics, in which event Paulhamus would loom up on the political horizon like a delinquent Sunday school scholar at a Christ- mas tree. Link Davis will, of course, serve his constituents of the 28th in the coming session at least. Who will succeed him is merely a matter of conjecture. Arvid Rydstrom is the logical candidate. N. B. McNichol is a candidate, and there are several who are willing to take the place of Judge Crandall. Next week we will be able to make a tolerably ac- curate guess as to what city will get the state conven- tion. We, of course, would suggest Tacoma, but we will be able to tell within a week, Tacoma has fared well at the hands of the state committees, and we would not feel sore if we failed to get this one. This is a matter that should be looked after by the Boosters. "4. & That staunch Republican paper, the Aberdeen Herald, is out demanding that the Republicans ask for a congressional candidate from this county. Of course the high position ocoupied by Col. Carney in the Republican party gives his suggestion great weight. But seriously it would be a fine thing if we could get a congressman from this county, even though Col. Carney and his party associates would demand that he come from Aberdeen or Hoquiam, if they had a suitable member for that position there, but they have not; for, as all know, that even in the state legislature the members who have done the best work came from Elma, hence it follows that ff Chehalis county is to have a congressman nominated he should come from Chehalis. Therefore, in this connection, we would suggest the name ot Hon. E. L. Minard for that posi ion, who, in the last session, proved himself the ablest chairman of the committee on education this county ever had.—Elma Chronicle. Col. Carney is a rock-ribbed Democrat, therefore the above is an elegant dish of irony. Representa- tive Minard is too well balanced to lose his head avar tha hit af fatter” neacad nn ta him If business was expedited and bills as promptly passed as are the appropriations for mileage of members and clerk hire, thirty days would be sufficient time for a session. Senators and repre- sentatives know, as soon as elected, what legisla- tion is needed, and there is absolutely no excuse for a sixty-day session with its resulting waste of money. oe ee Two “political ring” bills should be promptly repealed and the people, the taxpayers and vot- ers, should see to it that they are wiped off of the political map. We refer to the unamerican law of electing county commissioners by the vote of the county as a whole. That method does away with self-government. Hach district is entitled to a commissioner of its own choice and not one elected by the remaining districts. To illustrate: If the south district is dissatisfied with its com- missioner and will not support him for re-election the votes of the north district and Seattle can still put him in office and the taxpayer of the south district are deprived of the sacred right of self government. se & Then, the law that puts the funds for the con- struction and repair of roads in the exclusive charge of the commissioners is wrong and unques- tionably was enacted to further the designs of the politicians. There is considerable complaint against this system, and rightfully, too. There has been no equitable division of the road funds under this system, and the people know it. It was not intended that there should be. A few years ago eighteen thousand dollars was taken from the north district, where it rightfully and legally be- longed, and dumped into the south district, be- cause the north district was safe for the ring and the south district was not. cero The boss of the Holy Rollers has met his Water- too, and is now, according to his ideas of the fu- ture, basking in the sunshine of a blessed future. His love for women was the cause of his undoing. The ex-Holy Roller will find many waiting for him on the other side who are all entitled to the same epitaph, “I loved not wisely.” Violent deaths, however, are not frequent from such causes, and as a warning for men who are possessed of a su- per-abundance of love, they do not reform. Soci- ologists have spent much time in studying these conditions of society, and with all their research they can only say that civilization has wrought no change for the better. To those who care to study the subject more profoundly, we refer them to the fifth chapter of Jeremiah, eighth verse. ee The men who enacted these laws should be asked for an explanation. The past cannot be recalled, but such dirty legislation should be pre- vented in the future. One strange thing about the matter is that each legislature lacks in havy- ing just one good man to expose the betrayal ot the public interests. It seems to have been a gen- eral “stand in” in both parties. BOVE > ———. Is the Headquarters for Men’s Fashionable Spring Wear We make a new man of you for less money than any store in Seattle.
