Chief Cook seems to have gotten his as well as the laddies. When brewers get their heads together you can rest assured that, there is something brewing. Prophet Dowie's glory is vanishing like a dream when the public turns on the searchlight of investigation. So be it with all hypocrites. Bad Faith is something a Democrat should never accuse anyone of having, for Democracy is simply manufactured out of "bad faith" material. Charley Sweeny out of politics! Bosh! No one has heard anything about Charley Sweeny being dead, and that's just what he will be when he gets out of politics. Federal officials in Alaska seem as prone to go wrong as smoke to go upwards, if the charges and counter charges they make against each other count for anything. Fairbanks, Alaska, if reports be true, is a great deal fairer at least from a viewpoint, than it was a short time ago, the business section having been recently destroyed by fire. An Odorless Crematory is what R. H. Thomson has planned for Seattle. If he will only do it and not tell us about it, we will enjoy it more. The most of us are from Missouri. Vice President airbanks is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, so it transpires, and yet that iceberg wants to be president of the United States by the grace of the Republican party. The very audacity of it. All Things come to those who wait is an old adage. Charles Wappenstein has received many rebuffs while waiting to assume the duties of chief of the police, but he has finally reached the goal. Nothing succeeds like success. State Land Commissioner E. W. Ross, it is plain to be seen, is very popular in political circles and, if it be true that he is a candidate SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 25, 1906 for governor to succeed Mead, he will, it is believed, make a formidable showing. Ed Cushman has made so much money out of real estate that he has resigned his federal position, so comes the report from Tacoma. Ed., under such circumstances, is in a dangerous condition as his cranium is liable to explode at any minute. James A. Garfield seems to be a true chip off the old block and is handling the trust traitors without gloves. He is now boring into the bowels of the Standard Oil and if he continues he will surely find corruption enough to supply the whole country. President Palma of Cuba begun serving a second term under mixed auspices. At his recent inauguration not one of the liberal members of Congress was present, which would seem to indicate that, there is trouble ahead for his second administration. Africa for Africans is not only wrong in theory, but wrong in principle, but what more could be expected of the Africans when they are being crowded into eternity by the Europeans for the sole sake of conquest. Do we not daily hear of America for Americans? Then why not Africa for Africans? Ira A. Nadeau is quite correct in his statement, that, "the unrestricted sale intoxicating liquors on the grounds of the exposition is no more necessary than is a captive balloon." But some men seem to have the idea that there can be no real happiness without a saloon or an overabundance of either malted or distilled liquors in hand's reach. The University grounds therefore would be an ideal spot for the Alaska fair. "My kingdom for a plumber" is a cartoon of the czar of Russia vainly trying to turn off national trouble that has broken out all over his government. Sly as it's kept, if the czar had to send to the United States to get a union plumber and a helper to turn off the water from even a busted water pipe it would take his kingdom to pay the price. You may have many troubles to encounter, but we beg of you to consider yourself lucky if you have escaped the union plumber who does repair work at your home. Justice Davis evidently ruled according to his weelings, but from neither a just or a common sense standpoint in saying "an employee had no right to charge another for his work which he did after hours." If such a ruling is good law, then the employer is nothing short of a slave to his employee. Justice Davis will have to take another hitch at his wisdom box before he will go down in history as a Solomon of the twentieth century if his late ruling is a sample of his legal rulings in general. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENS The scandal in the fire department is, to say the least, a burning disgrace and smacks of a type of degeneracy that dismissal from the service is by no means a just retribution and therefore each man whose escutcheon is in the least tarnished by it should be proceeded against criminally by the prosecuting attorney. If what is left from the ravaging flames is to be stolen by the firemen then, in heaven's name, what's the use of calling for the fire department from an owner's standpoint? Of course, it may give the fireemn an opportunity to get a few valuables and many trinkets as souvenirs, but the owner would be in the same condition after the firemen had gone as if everything had been consumed by the flames. It is the duty of the firemen to not only rescue from the flames, but to protect things that are rescued. The people who pay their bills expect and demand it and the failure on their part not to do should be looked upon as criminal negligence. The fireman in a way is as much an officer of the municipal law as the policeman and when he turns thief he is a thousand times worse than the ordinary thief. The same holds good to the policeman, and therefore examples should be made of the firemen mixed up in the Arlington dock plunder scandal that neither them nor any one following after them will soon forget. Why are preachers any more out of their places in endeavoring to have the laws of the land enforced than any other class of men. Preachers are made out of the same kind of clay as other men and we do not believe endowed with any more supernatural wisdom than the average man. If the laws are being broken, it is their duty as law-abiding citizens to inform the public of that fact; then as preachers it is their duty to exhort their congregations against such practice from an un-Christian standpoint. If the saloon keepers are breaking the statutory laws of this state in keeping their places of business open when the law says they must be closed, then it is the duty of every good citizen to see to it that, the laws are obeyed even by the saloon keeper; and the term "every good citizen" certainly is broad enough to include even the preachers. The idea advanced that preachers are too goody goody to do anything but preach and pray in a pulpit is absurd. Those things are all right in their places, but there are some men that they have no effect on and then preachers have same right to resort to the efficacy of the law the same as the political ward-heeler. The preachers are not out of their places in attending mass meetings, having in view the enforcement of the Sunday closing laws and if one mass meeting does not do the work, then hold another. What we wish to get out of this is not so much of an argument either for or against Sunday closing, but that preachers are only human beings the same as other men and have the same right to meet, resolute and adjourn as the ordinary Democratic politician. Friday, May 25, 1906 Seattle is to have the next Republican state convention, the date of which has been fixed as September 19th next, and Spokane is the first in the field asking for the state convention two years hence. Three cities aspired to get the next convention—Seattle, Walla Walla and Tacoma—and the vote showed 20 for Seattle, nine for Walla Walla and one for Tacoma. The session of the state central committee was a most harmonious one, the presence of Murkey Matt of the Times in the room to the contrary notwithstanding. There were few proxies, as most of the members were present to answer to their names. The apportionment of delegates to the next state convention from the various counties, based on S. G. Cosgrove's vote as presidential elector, is as follows: Adams 10, Asotin 8, Benton 7, Chehalis 17, Chelan 10, Clallam 9, Clarke 16, Columbia 9, Cowlitz 12, Douglas 13, Ferry 7, Franklin 7, Garfield 8, Island 6, Jefferson 9, King 106, Kitsap 13, Kittitas 13, Klickitat 11, Lewis 19, Lincoln 16, Mason 7, Okanogan 10, Pacific 11, Pierce 53, San Juan 7, Skagit 19, Skamania 5, Snohomish 34, Spokane 55, Stevens 16, Thurston 15, Wahkiakum 6, Walla Walla 18, Whatcom 31, Whitman 24, Yakima 21: total, 658. Among those present some are very much in the public eye just now. Of course, S. G. Cosgrove is always a star in such assemblages. He was doubly so on this occasion, owing to the fact he is a candidate for governor to succeed Governor Mead. Eugene Lorten of Walla Walla was also a very much noticed man owing to the fact he was from Walla Walla and is opposing the re-election of Senator Ankeny. In other words, he is a Boxer leader, which organization has sworn eternal vengeance against Ankeny. Tom D. Rockwell received considerable attention on account of his position as one of the tax commissioners and the same is true of Jimmy Davis, who is a member of the board of control. E. G. Ames, the man from Kitsap, always takes well in such gatherings and, while he took no part in the discussions, yet he looked both good and wise. J. G. Megler, who has spent a lifetime serving his district in the state legislature, was a central figure in the assemblage and was given an ovation on entering the room. Lieutenant Governor Charles E. Coon has made many friends since entering state politics and his remarks always received attention. Despite the carpings of the Times and Murky Matt, its mouthpiece, Chairman E. B. Palmer has the confidence of his fellow members of the committee and his suggestions were always received and favorably acted upon. Secretary J. Will Lysons is still a great favorite and largely so because he is the most efficient secretary any Republican state central committee of this state has ever had. Many present took occasion to remark that, it was a——shame that he was not made secretary of the railroad commission. J. S.

The more the merrier, and the hotter the fight.—El lensburg Dawn. If the Republicans of Kittitas county would disabuse their minds of the idea that they have a bill of sale to the Negro vote of the county, and remember some of them in dividing up the loaves and fishes, Democracy would not have the foothold in the county that it now has, but they, perbaps, would prefer to divide up with the D moor crats rather than with "niggers and dagoes," and be it so. Charles W. Wappenstein is now chief of police of Seattle, by the grace of Mayor William Hickman Moore, who poses as an official reformer for the city of Seattle. Wapy., chief of the police of Seattle, and that, too, at the hands of a reformer, is stranger by far than fiction! The man, who holds the destinies of this great city in the hollow of his hand, is a man with a record, and such an one as few men would care to possess, unless they had made up their minds to live the life of a law-breaker instead of a law-maker. Whether Chraley Wappenstein is, or is not, guilty of a single accusation that has been laid at his door, is not ours to say, nevertheless they have followed him from Cincinnati to Seattle; and so pronounced did they become in Seattle that he was compelled to resign from the detective force, after a Lexow committee had probed his official record for many days. That committee evidently found traces of some very shady transactions on the part of Detective Wappenstein, or else he would not have hastened to resign when confronted with their findings. The question is, did the committee tell the truth, or did they merely trump up the charges against him? The members of that committee are honorable men, and stand high in the community even until this day, and its report would be a very poor recommendation from which a reform mayor would name Mr. Wappenstein for chief of the police. It hardly seems possible that a man, against whom so much was publicly said—and yet no steps we ever taken by him to purge his "good name" of such henious charges—that the same man, three years thereafter, would be elevated to the most responsible position in Greater Seattle. The Seattle Republican is having the entire report of the investigation arranged for publication, that the people may be able to read for themselves just what Seattle's Lexow, committee did think of Detective Wappenstein in connection with the Seattle police. The report will be published in sections, verbatim et literatim, in these columns, beginning as soon as the ste ographer can transcribe the notes. * * * At a meeting held last Wednesday evening at the Afro-American Realty Hall, for the purpose of organizing a Political Club, J. T. Gayton was elected temporary chairman and Mr. Bennett secretary. A. R. Black, J. F. Cragwell, C. H. Harv y, John Robinson and Lee O. Preso were appointed a committee to draft by-laws for the organization. At other meeting will be held Wednesday, May 30, when a permanent organization will be affected. Colored men, residents of the city and county, are urgently requested to be present at 9 o'clock, sharp, on the date stated.

The Foram ig non-sectarian, nou-politicel and non- selfish in its motives, and therefcre no one has any excuse for not atiending its deliberations. In view of these facts, it is rather remarkable that the best informed Afro-Americens absent themselves from it lest, forsooth, they reason, “there be a nigger in the woo pile.’’ Iu other words, lest some other Afro- American der.ves some personal ben: fit ou accourt of the fact that such an organization exists. A be- setting sin of the American Negtois he spends all of nis time and evergy endeavoring to keep some other Negro from forging ahead, because he cannot doso. If you do not desire to get in the harness and pull together with the others, then do not pull in an Opposite direction. The Forum will listen to an address from Rev. Myron D. Haynes, D.

THEY WERE NOT NEGROES Cold shivers chase down vur spinal column when it occurs tous: Suppose that the firemen who are implicated in the wholesale loowng of the recently burned Arlington dock building in tus city had been Negroes. ‘hey and all of their children tu the third and fourth generations would be everlastingly damn- ed and disgraced; and for the next half a century, every time a Negro made application, oc intimated that he thought of dving so, for a cicy job, the acts oi those firemen would be thrown up to him. The Nez oes are still reminded ot the dismal failure one Ike Evans, a Negro attempting to be a policeman made in this city, and yet hundreds of seamps have simply. been dismissed from the force from time to time charged with crimes for which they should have been sent to the penitewiary. Yea, an ex-po- liceman even now is occupying a convic.’s cell in the county. jail, and yet others are employed without comment. The present chief of police re-signed from the force a few years ago under a cloud so dark and fore- boding that it would have smothered him beyoud a hope of resurrection had he been a Negro, It makes all the difference whose bull is gored, and while the Negro is far from bing an angel, yet all Negroes should not be blamed for what one bad one does. If the firemen are guiliy of the charges laid at their doors they are very bad men; but the. white folk in general should not be blamed for the unlawful acts of a few scoundrels, THE SDATTLE REPUBLICAN FRANKLIN FUN FAILED Last Friday was pay day in Franklin, one of the mining camps of the Pacific Coest Company, and a sadder and sicker aggregation of hard working men was never before seen about the cump than on that occasion. And all because tl e company inaugurated a new system of paying off in checks instead of cash, as heretofore, and there was not a hundredth part of a sufficient amount of money to cash the checks short of Seattle. Downat the saloon, which always figures on getting at Jeast a third of all the money that miners draw, every pay day, there was nothing doirg. and it was all dark by 10 o’clock p. m. The bones and the banjo refused to roll or sound, hence sadness prevailed. Now, the company and the min- ers might raise a flag of truce that would. prove ad- yantagous to all concerned, and be the means of the miners investing their earnings in homes, instead of hell. Suppose the company would pay the men a small'amount of cash, but the bulk of their money in checks, cashable only at the bank in Scattle. Then mark the goods down in the company store so that it would be no object for the miners buying from the hundred and one peddlers who come tothe camp, an overwhelming majority of whom are swindlers; then encourage the miners to send their checks to Seattle for deposit in some bank—in other words, open a bank account for their future use. If such would be done, the miners would not congregate in tbesaloon to driuk and gamble their earnings away. It isa noticable fact that the miners, individually, drink the 1oost when all of them have a sufficient supply of money to treat each other, until the whoie crowd is beastly: drunk. The ten collars in cash wou'd serve as pin money for them, while their bank accounts would be on the increase every month. The rea-onable rate icr the merchandise in the company store would be an in- ceutive for them to do the mst of their trading there, Lence, their checks would not’ have to bedis tarbet, With a few hundred dollars in the bank, it would soon occur to the miner a home would be the safest investment for his money. It is hopeu that the officials of the company will iook into the propo- sition herein set forth, and consider themselves “their brother’s keeper” to the extent of encourag- ing the minets to sjart bank accounts instead of booze atcounts. SUNNYSIDE SOUNDINGS Suunyside, Wash., May 14—The sad death of Miss E tna Pickens is still the topic of conversation in ths community. .She was born in Kentucky ab ut 18 years ago and moved to this state with her parents about a year ago. She had not been here very long betore falling in company with Oley Wash- ington, Jr. Tbey made love to each other, and under the promise of marriage, they soon became intimate, and, aya result, she, in the course of time, fourd herself the mother of twin baby girls.

In a recent lecture to the students of the Kansas Quindaro Industrial School for Colored Youths, Dr. Booker T. Washington urg d them to be proud of their race, to not be disecuraged at small begin- nings; at poverty that may surround tiem, nor prej- udice, but use these apparent hinderances as aids to climb higher. He urged them to leave the destruct- ive city life, buy homes in the country, raise poultry, hogs, fruit and produce’for the market, as well as to rear healthy, intelligent, industrious families for the uplifting of the race. ‘He said he did not decry high- er education, but’ raiher encouraged the Negro to learn every profession, every art, every industry,-all college and-univers'ty training that an other rayce had learned, and even wo excel them init; but for the great bulk of the ten millions of Negroes in America, he believes, as every other race in the same condition has had todo, that the Negro must lay the foundation for the race in agricul ure and the me- chanical arts and iadustries; th n the upper tenth, the professional classes of the race, will have a field upon which to vrow and prosper. He said that prejudice would disippear as the Negroes acquire homes, bank accounts aud business enterprises. Fi* nally, he urged the students to become masters of some occuvation, so as to do it better than anyone else in their home com.uuni ies. National Polities Georgia Democrats have decided to hold their state primaries August 22, and the state convention at Mecon, September 4. ee Car didates for the United States senate in Ken- tucky asked the Democratic state executive commit tee to order a primary for the purpose of giving the voters an opportunity to express a preference as bes tween aspirants. ese 8 Col, John H, Bankhexd, who was defeated in the congressional primary by.

Just telephone Main 305, re Friday, May 25, 1906 POLITICAL POT-PIE The Politician and the reople It is a serious weakness in cur political leaders that they distrust the ability of the people to think and todo for themselves, politically. This distrust is manifest in nearly all the legislative and construct- ive work of representatives, and has been from our colonial cays. Even Hamilton, in a private letter, expressed the belief that the constitution would not hold the people to its reqrirements beyond a short period of years. Such e«pressions of distrust are very common in the unrarthed private correspond- ence of many of our ear’y statesmen. It is common today. It is this distrust which excites opposition to the direct primary law, vow under discussion ; to lo- cal option and, indee, to all legislation looking to the giving of a freer popniar hand in determining political measures. This distrust on she part of polttical leaders is a serious and distinct weakness—under a government of the form of our own. If this distrust has a hasis of fact and reasov then she future of this republic is hopeless. The f andat.on of our political order is the sovereignty {the people. If they are incapab'e of.sovereignty ¢ ccept toa limited degree, then it is and can be only a question of time when the founda- tion must give way. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Adeocracy with its principle and sentiments an ‘ enthusiasm which finds itself thwart- ed by its leaders in {he furtherance of its plans, will sooner or later become inpatient avd proceed to vio lence. Thef ar of revolution will be overcome of a desire for freedom, and then a revolution would be- come as inviting as a holiday. The people are now asking for the direct primary by which they may be heard at Olympia. i a * = = * Politicians sre objecting, «n the score that the people are not competent judges as :to what they want, and are so incapable of seasoning and doing that the newspapers will dictate both nomination - and legislation. ‘his simply means that the people must be provided with a guardian, and that the poli- tician is a better guardian than the newspaper. Pol- iticians may wisely dismiss their fears. ‘The people are fully able todo their own thiuking, and if their self-constitu.ed leaders will kindly bear this in mind, their positions as leaders will become more secure than they are at present.—The Citizen. The Direct Primary The age of the “Divine Right of Kings’’ has piss- ed. This is the age of the “divine right of men.” Americans stand pre-eminently fir individualism, No man who stands in the next legislature in this state, believing, as he is supposed to believe, in the people, can conscientiously vote »gains: the direct primary law. Any man who is not willing to grant to the people such a right, is unworthy to represent a free people in a free state. The legislator who stands against the direct primary practicaily says: “The people are not capable of choosing the men who are to represent them; that should be left to the ‘ring.’ The people do not know what they need; they must be managed.”’ Mr. Barnum’s famous statement that the Ameri- can people want to be humbugged, may have been true in the past, but it is not true today, Tne dem- onstrations of this fact are so numerous and so re- cent that men who run for office may read and profit thereby. A new independence has been declared. The American commonwealth of the future is to be one in which the people will reign supreme. The legislator who really represents his constitu- ents will vote fora direct primary law, and the legis- lator who so tar forgets the interests of the people as | THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN to vote against such a law, will surely find that the people will also be ‘able both to remember and to forget.—The Citizen, . Charles Sweeney, who cut such a swath in the last senatorial contest in this state, but who got cold feet before the fight had grown very old and sold out tothe railroads, which resulted in the election of 8. H. Piles tothe United States senate, declares that he is out of politics for all time to come. That seems about the only way Charley Sweeney had to break into print just now, and he bas made much of the opportunity. When he sold out to the railroads. he named a great many of his followers for political preferment and he is seeing to it that Senator Piles and the railreads live up to their agreement. That he will be.a candidate to succeed Senator Ankney his every move tends to show. He 1s laying bis wires to capture the Spokane legislative delegation, and with it well in hand the Crocker-Stevenson-Ba- ker triumvirate will have to reckon with still anoth- er factor. The last fight cost Sweeney, so goes the story, about $75,000; but he was more than reim- bursed for that expenditure by the railroads handing him a check for $80,000 when he had handed his yotes over to them for Piles. Since that time Sweeney has made a bunch of money, and it is re- ported that he will dump a quarter of a million dol- lars in the fight if there is anny apparent show o him succeeding Ankney. The triumviate, however, always kceps a joker up its sleeve, and it will en- deavor 2o furm a combine with Sweeney to the effect that each one :ets as wany legislative votes as he can, and the weaker to diop out after a showing has been made. Sp kane Republicans have decided to firs the first gun in the 1906 campaign, and to that end have fixed the date for holding their next courty convention to nominate vounty officers, as well as to elect delegates to the state convention, June 5th. A majority of the present county officia.s are up for re-nowinat ion, hence, there will not be very muci doing before the convention; but, if reports be true, there will be a hot time in ihe old town on election day in No- vember. Factionalism has aim» st destroyed the Re- publican party in Spekane, and with one of the po- litical triumviate, which claims entire control of the state, living in the county and holding a Federal o sition, the coun'y seems doomed to a still greater amouit of political dissension than existed in the p.st, and thitis saying quite a ood deal. The federal brigade will endeavor to capsure she county for D. B. Crocker’s use, and to that end will offer the county the next gubernatorial nomination, Whea hat has been done there will be a baker’s dozen of aspirants for the supposed honor, which will cause a Kilkenny cat fight, even among the Crocker-Ankney forces. Then there is another element in the county who want one of the three nominations for represen- tives to congresg, and still another crowd, who wil be satisfied with the nomination of two members of the supreme bench, All of these factions will con tend fur political supremacy in the next county con- vention, and as a result the county ticket stands a good show of being partially defeated, and will lose both the gubernatortal as well as tiie congressional nominations.

T, Ham will doubtless be one of the candidates for governor; and the very idea of such a little dyspeptic seeking such a nomination would of itself demoralize the poiities of the county, both at home and abroad, even if the triumviate completely plays hands off. Tiere certainly isa merry po'itical war raging in Walla Walla county between the Crocker-Ankneyites and the Boxers, and the outcome of the battle at this Writing can hardly be foreeustel. If Crocker con- trols the county, as in’ the past, he will hold it in the palm of his hand, like unto a political pawn, and trade and barter it in the convention for his own self- ish ends, If the Boxers. should happen to win—and they may—there would be a new political line-up, not only in Walla Walla county, but even in the state, and the Pie-maker would not be surprised to see Gov. Miles ©. Moore enter the United States sen- atorial race, Should all this come about in Walla Walla county it is highiy probable that Adams, Assotin, Columbia, Garfield and Whitman counties would fall into the Moore combine and present a formidable front in both the state convention of 1908 and in the legislature of 1909, at which time ‘senator Ankney’s successor will be elected. North Yakima may have a candidate for governor in the person of State Senator Walter J. Reed. Quite a few persons are talking Senator Reed for this nom- ination, for no other reason than because he seems to be exceedingly popular in that section of the state, and they say he would be a tower of strength to the ticket. Two years ago he was uvanimously nomi- nated for state senator, and at the polls proved to be one of the swiftest runners on the ticket. Last fall he was nominated for mayor of North Yakima, on a Retrenchment ticke;, and despiie the bitter opposi- tion of the ring, the bosses and the corporate influ- ence, was elected over his opponents by a splendid plurality. Senator Reed is equally strong in Kitiitas county, where he lived ior many years, and if he de- cides to enter the race for governor he will make 1- very, very interesting for his op; ouvents. And now another insignificant little two-"y-four afternoon sensation paper has discovered that tne Hon. John L, Wilson has designs on the siate of Washington, and unless careful y watched by Sena- tors Ankney and Piles, will abscond to the National capital with the entire state uoder his “toga.” Tie story did not even 1ead well, for cvery one, even but partially versed in the politics of the state, readi- ly saw that a novice wrote the article, which was so ridiculous that it wax amusing. That senator Wil- son means to defeat Levi Ankney for re-election not even Mr. Wilson himself denies, but to charge that he hopes to defeat Piles also, is far-fetched. Ii, how- ever, Piles. continues tu travel the political road he is row in he will either defeat himsel’, just as did Senator Foster, ani tha’, too, before his proposed “twenty-four years in the senate” expires, or be will give himself a world of trouble. The News has be- yun the publishing of such political fakes about Wil- son for no other purpose than to attract the Iator- able atzention of George Stevenson, that he may drop a few dollars into its tills, of which it is sorely iu need just at this time.

In every neighborhood there is one man, and oftentimes a number of men, who are best known for their intense selfishness. Richard Ganthony, an American playwright, wrote the beautiful comedy, "A Message from Mars," in which he deals some heavy blows at the egotist and selfish man. This play was first placed on view in London, and from the opening night it was voted one of the great successes of that city. It ran there for three years. It was later brought to America and was on view for two consecutive years in New York city. It has never before been presented in this part of the United States. Our theatregoers will have their first opportunity of seeing this famous comedy. It will be presented here at the Seattle next Wednesday, with David Proctor, a prominent young actor, appearing as Horace Parker, the hero of the comedy. "A Message from Mars" is said to be a great play in every respect and Mr. Proctor has, as his associates, a large number of the same players who were in the London and New York companies. "Driven from Home," the play at the Third Avenue Theatre this week, could be seen with profit by a great many people, especially stern parents, who never committed a single error in their youth, who never kept company with one of the opposite sex and never had an evil thought. If such people have been in the world, there are none of them left living. So if you have a daughter that you think is wayward, don't drive her out of the house; try and save her, for we have the word of a nun who has devoted her life to the moral uplifting of the unfortunate ones, that there is some- THE SEATTL REPEBLICAN thing good in every one of them. "Driven from Home," the play at the Third Avenue Theatre this week, teaches a lesson you can't learn from books. If you want a good illustration, go and see it. The Aylesworth Company will put on "Caught in the Web," a detective play, at the Third Avenue Theatre next Sunday afternoon. It will furnish enough sensational amusement in the way of detection and crime and running to justice of the arch criminal by a shrewd detective to make the few hours you will spend at the Third Avenue Theatre next week quite as pleasing and profitable as any could be spent at any place of amusement. "THE STROLLERS" AT THE GRAND Saturday afternoon and night will be the last chances to see the highly clever presentation of "Erminie" by the San Francisco Opera Company at the Grand. Sunday is to see a change of bill by this already popular company, the offering for next week being "The Strollers," which had famous allsummer runs in New York and other big Eastern cities a year or two ago, and which will be richly caparisoned by Russell & Drew for its first production on any stage at popular prices. The two Strollers are introduced in a prologue, where a court room is set, and tried for a minor offense. They are jailed, but disguise themselves and escape, leaving a price and his fiancee in their place. The second act is an Alpine mountain inn where the Strollers pass themselves off as a prince and princess whose arrival is awaited, and the third act shows a fete garden of an Austrian spa, making a picturesque ending to a jolly evening.

Result of 15 years experience in tire Result of 15 years experience in the making. No danger from THORNS, CACTUS, PINS, NAILS, TACKS or GLASS. Serious punctures, like intentional knife cuts, can be vulcanized like any other tire. Two Hundred Thousand pairs now in actual use. Over Seventy-five Thousand pairs sold last year. DESCRIPTION: Made in all sizes. It is lively and easy riding, very durable and lined inside with a special quality of rubber, which never becomes porous and which closes up small punctures without allowing the air to escape. We have hundreds of letters from satisfied customers stating that their tires have only been pumped up once or twice in a whole season. They weigh no more than an ordinary tire, the puncture resisting qualities being given by several layers of thin, specially prepared fabric on the tread. That "Holding Back" sensation commonly felt when riding on asphalt or soft roads is overcome by the patent "Basket Weave" tread which prevents all air from being squeezed out between the tire and the road thus overcoming all suction. The regular price of these tires is $8.50 per pair, but for advertising purposes we are making a special factory price to the rider of only $4.80 per pair. All orders shipped same day letter is received. We ship C.O.D. on approval. You do not pay a cent until you have examined and found them strictly as represented. We will allow a cash discount of 5 per cent (thereby making the price $4.55 per pair) if you send FULL CASH WITH ORDER and enclose this advertisement.
