August 24, 1906 BISHOP GRANT LECTURE In discussing the subject of "Some of the Problems that Confront the American People," to a house full and overflowing at Lee's Chapel last Monday evening Bishop A. Grant held his audience spell bound for an hour and a half, though he was frequently roundly aplauded. By request he spoke briefly of the trouble in South Africa. He freely admitted that it was due to the American Negro, who was there as a missionary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Those missionaries had not only taught the natives religion, but they had taught them American independence and unity among themselves and as a result, the tribes were no longer warring among themselves, but were demanding justice from the European for the native black man. A church of the same name as their county was pleasing to their ears and the converted natives were leaving the other denominations and joining the African Methodist, which does not meet the approval of the other denominations. The first great problem that is confronting the United States is the foreign emigration question. With millions of foreigners flocking to our country each year it wont be long before our citizenship will be foreign born or of parentage foreign born, the black man being the exception. Should this great army of foreigners ever get uncontrolable this government would have to draw largely on the Negro men to protect her. The trust problem was another that was giving the people much concern and it required a level headed president like our own and only Theodore Roosevelt to hold the trusts in check. Roosevelt was not only not afraid to do so, but was doing it. The educational problem was also a difficult one to be handled and notwithstanding the fact this country was carying on a great educational work, yet there was still room for improvement. He favored the passage of a National Educational Bill such as was recommended by the late lamented McKinley. Along this line he felt as if the government would not go amiss if it established industrial schools fashioned after Tuskegee for the Negro children in all of the Southern tates. The drink problem was not only a difficult one, but likewise a dangerous one. It is the prime cause of pretty nearly all the crime committed in this country, which is no small amount as statistics declare that out of twenty-seven civilized countries the United States has by far the greatest number of criminals. He declared that over six million dollars were spent annually in this country for drink while but a little over a million dollars were spent annually for educational work. Finally, some of our white friends tell us there is a Negro problem in this country for solution. I deny the allegation. There is no Negro problem. The Negro is peaceful, law abiding and hardworking and the so called Negro problem that our white friends tell us about and over which they are so much exercised, is not so much how to make the Negro a better citizen, as to how to keep him from becoming a citizen at all. If the statesmen and newspapers of this country would for fifty years never call the word Negro and forget all about him—leave him severely alone—at the end of that time even the white man himself would forget the Negro's color and treat him as he does any other class of people. He is accumulating property despite the Tillmans, Vandemans, Jeff Devises and Tom Dixons. Right in Vandeman's own state the Negroes own and operate ten substantial banks besides owning a vast amount of farms and homes. The Bishop concluding advised the Negro to endeavor to get homes in the country where they could live independent of any one. We are flocking to the cities and towns without a justifiable excuse. On this point those of the Negroes of this city who took exceptions to Senator Wilson's advice to the Negro to work, work, work, must have either been convinced that their exceptions were not well founded or that Bishop Grant too was giving them the wrong idea of how to succeed. Education is the hope of the human race; that education that is thorough, that uplifts heart and head, that strengthens character as it broadens the mind.—Reformer. Ignorance is responsible for many things. For some time it has been responsible for a very reprehensible state of affairs in social functions among the Negroes of Omaha. The unfortunate fact is that the custom against which we shall speak in emphatic terms is chiefly in vogue among those who ought to know better—certainly among those who make great pretentions at knowing what is the proper conduct in polite society. Their actions in this regard at least clearly prove that they are wofully ignorant of the fundamental principals of right behavior in polite society.—Enterprise. The National Negro Business League stands for the elevation of the Negro people in business and commercial directions, but recognizes fully the necessity for work also in other directions; such work, for instance, as is being done by the Afro-American Council and numerous religious and secular organizations. During the brief period of its existence, the League has given the race new hope and new light and added faith. It has stimulated the entire race in business directions. Largely through its influence nearly 200 local Negro business leagues have been organized, businesses of nearly every character, such as merchandising, banking, realestate dealing, manufacturing, contracting, and others have been started. Twenty-two banks are now being operated by the race, eight of these in Mississippi alone. No less than fourteen of these banks have been started since the League was organized. Two theatres have also recently been built.—Tuskegee Student. A case has been decided in the law court at Charlotte, New York State, that has created intense interest in the Masonic circles among the Colored Masons in several of the States last week, and the Colored Grand Lodge of New York which was the first started some years ago by the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, met an overwhelming defeat and was routed at every point. The Grand Lodge of the State of New York commenced a law suit at Charlotte, N. Y., against J. B. Thornton and several other Masons representing the Hiram Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of the State of Pennsylvania to prevent them from organizing lodges in the State of New York under the authority of the Hiram Grand Lodge of the State of Pennsylvania. The case came up before Judge Laverty and was bitterly contested, and after an argument of a whole day by counsel representing both sides Judge Laverty rendered his decision that after investigating the matter thoroughly that Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts that was organized many years ago was an illegal and irregular Grand Body and that, the Grand Lodge in the State of New York having had lodges established in New York State that organized lodges from the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts that established the Grand Lodge of New York that it was an unlawful Grand Lodge, and that the Hiram Grand Lodge of Colored Masons of the State of Pennsylvania was a lawful and regular Page 3 Grand Body. The Hiram Grand Lodge of the State of Pennsylvania was organized formerly of chartered lodges from the Grand Lodges of the District of Columbia. The Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia was several years ago set right, and made regular by the White German Grand Lodge of Masons.—Broadax. “What is the meaning of 'alter ego'?” asked the teacher of the beginners' class in Latin. "The other I" said the boy with the curly hair. "Give a sentence containing the phrase." "He winked his other I."—Chicago Tribune. POLITICAL POT-PIE. BOBBY BOOTH FOR SENATOR. You of the Thirty-seventh senatorial district who favor the direct primary law, certainly do not expect to have an advocate in the senate of that measure, if you nominate and elect Robert F. Booth. That he will vote against the measure is a foregone conclusion. Booth, as both he himself and Senator Piles have publicly admitted, is a political protege of Senator Piles. Well does not Senator Piles favor a direct primary law in this state? you ask. Not in a thousand years and his friends and proteges in the next legislature will work and vote against it from start to finish, and more than that, will defeat it, because he can not "deliver" to Ankeny with a direct primary law in effect. Senator Piles is tied up to the re-election of Senator Ankeny, who will not only fight the measure in the next legislature, but has already taken a firm stand against the proposed law, and the Union, his personal organ, is fighting every one seeking office, who in any sense favors the direct primary law. Robert F. Booth is pledged to not only vote for the re-election of Senator Levi Ankeny, but has pledged himself to vote in the senate on all public questions as Senators Piles and Ankeny think for their best political interest. It certainly will not be to the best political interest of Senator Levi Ankeny to have a direct primary law passed, which provides for the election of a United States senator by the direct vote of the people instead of by legislative jugglery, for, if it were, he would have no show of succeeding himself, and, if Booth is pledged to Senator Ankeny how can he support a wholesome direct primary law. To wait to defeat Booth after he has been nominated will be throwing away a golden opportunity and running a big risk of getting one more enemy in the senate to oppose the proposed direct primary law. Do it now. It hardly seems possible that the anti-whiskey voters of the district will sit idly by anl permit a man to be nominate and elected to the senate, who is to be the mouthpiece from this county of the Liquor Dealers Association, and yet Robert F. Booth has been selected by them as the candidate for their united support. It will be remembered that the Liquor Dealers Association controlled the senate of the eighth legislature and prevented the passage of any measure that would prove detrimental to their business. Yea, they were even able to repeal laws that had been passed by a previous legislature. If you nominate and elect Robert F. Booth he will be always found voting with that bunch. If you nominate Robert F. Booth you will be endorsing a man who seemingly is and has been doing everything in his official legal power to obstruct the early settlement of the John Sullivan estate, now worth a million dollars, because it looks as if Senator Piles would lose his interest therein, the title to which, it is now generally believed, he acquired from persons not heirs of the late John Sullivan. If Booth had not butted in on this case the estate long ere this would have been escheated to King county, but Booth had to do something for Senator Piles to repay him for his endorsement, and he therefore blocked the settlement of the Sullivan estate, which means a half a million to Piles if he succeeds. Has Robert F. Booth an ulterior motive for seeking this senatorial nomination, you ask. You bet you. He has already got a pledge from Senators Piles and Ankeny to support him for attorney general to succeed John D. Atkinson, and in that position he would be able to do even better by Senator Piles in the Sullivan estate settlement than he can now do. He is at present deputy attorney general and drawing a salary of $1800 per year, and it is claimed on very good authority that he got that appointment by holding up the appropriation for Mr. Atkinson's office until he forced Mr. Atkinson to promise in writing that he, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Candidate for the nomination as representative from the 47th Legislative District. This district comprises all of the Third and Seventh wards, excepting the First and Fourth precincts of the Seventh ward. Mr. Sweeney's platform is an honest representation of the people and the direct [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. HOMER SWEENEY. primary. He has served two years on the Republican County entral Committee with honor to himself and credit to the people of this district who elected him to this position. He is a man of sterling qualities and a business man of high integrity. He has the confidence of all classes of people who have come in contact with him, either in business or politics, since coming to this city five years ago. If nominated and elected from this district, he will make a strong representative for the people and will be a credit to King county. He has kept clear from all factional fights and has done much in the last two years to bring harmony in the Republican ranks of the Seventh ward and will continue to do so if given the opportunity. Booth, would be appointed a deputy under him for four years. Can such a man as that be trusted? How much better is a man that will do a thing like that than a man who will sell his vote to a private corporation for so many dollars and cents? When Booth shall have been nominated, if ever, all of these things will be talked over by the opposition press and public speakers; and if he is elected in the face of them then the Roosevelt spirit of reform has not taken a very strong hold on the voters of that district. The Seattle Republican is calling the attention of the Republican voters of the district to what they may expect if Booth is nominated and they should profit thereby. THAT RIVAL STREET CAR SYSTEM. When one votes for a change of either men or affairs, so far as the general public is concerned and interested, he does so with the view of getting relief from what he thinks is either an anoyance or a burden. If this be granted then in what way can the tax payers and voters get any relief in this city from the street car burden by voting bonds for a competitive street railway system? It certainly would be a relieve if the city owned and operated the only street car system in the city, but for the city to paralell the present system's lines no relief could come to the citizens for a half century and by that time both systems might be compeltely bankrupt. If the city's system, however, was not bankrupt it would be because either a bond election would be held from time to time to replinish its exhausted money vaults or a tax would be levied each year on the taxpayers to pay the operating deficite. With the taxpayers thus pouring funds into the city's street car system it would soon become so burdensome to them that a complete right-about-face would eventually be the result. August 24, 1906 Lets see if even Seattle with all of her prosperity can afford to build a rival street car system. Before the system could or would become a source of revenue to the tax payers seven million dollars would have to be expended on it, to say nothing of the interest on that vast sum for it would have to be borrowed. Now it is declared by the advocates of this rival system that it is not to be built with the view of it becoming a money maker, but to give the people cheaper fares and so pretty soon the fares would be reduced and then the income would be no more than enough to pay the interest on the bonds and the operating expenses, thus leaving the wear and tear to eat up the system and in the end throw back on to the taxpayers a seven million dollar debt as a legacy, which they would have to pay without having anything to show for it. If therefore the voters undertake and verily do build a rival street car system in Seattle they will transmit to their children's children a bonded debt legacy that will cause them to repent of ever having inherited property interests in the city of Seattle. The bonded indebtedness of Seattle at present is in round numbers six million dollars (see comptroller's May report); then if you vote the seven million dollars for the rival street car system; vote the four million dollars for the water system and for the much needed improvements, that will bring the bonded indebtedness of the city up to the seventeen million dollar mark. Then add to this enormous sum another four million dollar indebtedness for school district No. 1, which is the city of Seattle and which she now owes and fifty per cent of the county taxation, which Seattle pays would also be added and it will be readily seen that Seattle will have an indebtedness hanging over her head that will make twenty-five million dollars look like thirty cents with a hole in it. Seattle may be growing pretty fast, but we fear not fast enough to ever overtake an indebtednes so large as this. Paying a three cent fare to ride in the city and paying a five or six mill tax levy in order to get the three cent fare looks like a rather poor piece of financiering and it does not seem that men of intelligence would undertake it. The voter who pays no taxes at all may be inclined to vote to pile an indebtedness on the taxpayers until they are completely crushed under the load, but that would give them no concern, if a penny could be saved on a street car fare, for when times got dull here they would move on. On the other hand, every home owner would feel the burden, every business man would stagger under the load until the city's great prosperity which she now enjoys would take the winds of the morning and financial disaster would be her portion. To build and maintain this rival street car system in Seattle for the sake of some time in the future getting a four or three cent fare reminds us very much of the Massachusetts farmer that Ben Butler told about. The farmer was not wholly satisfied with the income of his farm so he added hog raising to his stock of resources. As an experiment along this line he bought him a hog, paying six dollars for it, he kept it a year and fed it six dollars worth of corn and at the end of the year sold it for ten dollars. A friend to whom he was relating the outcome of his new industry wanted to know where was his profit in the investment. Oh, he quickly replied, "I owned the hog." Owning the hog may be a great deal of self satisfaction, but to a cold blood matter of fact business man it was a losing investment. It looks to us as if the proposed rival street car system would prove an investment similar to the farmer's hog. Yoy would do well to think, the matter over before you vote for a rival street car system hog. In every presidential election from 1876 to 1896, with the exception of that of 1892, a change of 20, 000 or less votes from one party ticket to the other might have elected the defeated candidate. The case of the disputed election of Hayes, when the electoral commission decided every point by a vote of 8 for Hayes to 7 for Tilden, is very simple. August, 24 1906 The electoral vote was finally fixed at 185 for Hayes to 184 for Tilden. Aside from the disputed states of south Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, whose electoral votes have given Tilden Nevada's three votes, a change of 1,403 votes would have given him California's six electoral votes, or a change of 3759 votes would have given him Ohio's 22 electors. The electoral vote in 1880 stood 214 for Garfield to 155 for Hancock. Hancock lost his election by Tammany's failure to lend him cordial support. Garfield's majority over Hancock in New York state was only 21,033, so that a change of 10,517 votes would have placed the electoral vote of New York to the Democratic candidate's credit and elected him. Disregarding New York, which was a pivotal state, the combined majorities for Garfield in Connecticut, Indiana, Maine and Oregon, of which states the electoral votes totalled 31, amounted only to 18.837. A change of 1,329 votes in Connecticut, of 3,322 in Indiana, of 4,435 in Maine and 336 votes in Oregon, or of 9,422 votes in the four states, would have elected Hancock. In 1884, when Cleveland received 219 electoral votes to Blaine's 182, New York was again the pivotal state. It went for Cleveland by the narrow majority over Blaine of 1,149. By turning 575 votes to Blaine the Republicans would have defeated Cleveland. Connecticut gave Cleveland only 1,276 votes more than Blaine, New Jersey 4,358, and West Virginia 4,221. Their electoral votes counted 19 in all, enough to defeat Cleveland if 4,923 votes had been changed in these three states. Again Indiana gave Cleveland a majority of 6,527 over Blaine and 15 electoral votes. If 3,264 votes had been changed their and 639 in Connachticut, or 3,903 votes in the two states, Blaine would have been elected. In 1888 New York remained the pivotal state. The electoral vote stood 233 for Harrison to 162 for Cleveland. If one more than half of Harrison's majority of 13,002 over Cleveland in New York, or 6,502 votes, had been changed to Cleveland, Harrison would have been beaten for the presidency. Illinois gave Harrison 22 electoral votes and Indiana 15. A change of 11,093 votes in the first and 1,175 in the second, or 12,286 votes, would have defeated him. On the same theory Cleveland would have been easily beaten in 1892 when the electoral vote showed the wide difference of 277 for the Democratic candidate and 145 for the Republican. California gave Cleveland only 44 majority over Harrison, Indiana 7,125, Illinois 26,993, New Jersey 15,094 and Wisconsin 6,544. A change of 27,899 votes in these five states would have elected Harrison. Mc Kinley had a lead of 95 electoral votes over Bryan in 1896. Yet a change of 1,394 votes from the Republican to the Democratic column in California, of 9,092 in Indiana, of 1,059 in Oregon, of 142 in Kentucky, of 1,916 in Delaware, and of 5,744 in West Virginia, or 19,274 in the six states, would have given Bryan 48 more electoral votes than he received and would have seated him in the White House. Elections in theory are often closer than in fact. Sir Henry Hawkins was once presiding over a long, tedious, and unrinteresting trial, and was listening apparently with great attention to a long winded speech from a learned counsel. After a while he made a pencil memorandum, folded it, and sent it by the usher to the queen's counsel in question, who, unfolding the paper, found these words: "Patience competition. Gold medal.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN There was so much "hot air" at the banquet last Wednesday evening that the food the fellows ate soured before they got away. FOR SHERIFF. My office and my official record are an open book and on them I rest my case for a renomination and election. I am a candidate to succeed myself as sheriff of King county, subject to the pleasure of the next Republican county convention. LOU C. SMITH. FOR COUNTY CLERK. Believing that I have the approval of every man, woman and child that have done business with the county clerk's office the past eighteen months, as having done my duty and my whole duty without fear or favor, I hereby announce my candidacy for the nomination of county clerk, subject to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention. If nominated and elected my second term shall be like unto my first. SAUSE OTLO selves. FOR COUNTY TREASURER. Believing that the voters and taxpayers want even the men elected to office to give value received for the salaries they draw, and further believing that, the taxpayers and voters expect every employee in a county office to do his or her duty, and whole duty, the same as if they were working for a private person, concern or corporation, I have since assuming the duties of treasurer endeavored so to do. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for renomination, subject to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention. MATT. H. GORMLEY. FOR COUNTY CORONER. I hereby announce my candidacy for county coroner, subject to the will of the next Republican county convention. If renominated and elected I shall endeavor to act during my second term in the way of conducting the affairs of the office as I did during the time of my first term. F. M. CARROLL, M. D. FOR SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS. I am a candidate for superintendent of public schools of King county, to succeed myself, and rely on my work in that capacity for the past eighteen months as my chief recommendation for the renomination and election which I seek. My candidacy for the nomination is subject to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention. FOR COUNTY AUDITOR. In announcing my candidacy to succeed myself as county auditor, I do so, believing that my office has given general satisfaction to the public. No partisan, however, is greater than his party, and however pleased the public might be, the party workers might have reason to think otherwise, hence my candidacy for the nomination of county auditor is subject to the endorsement of the next Republican county convention. JAMES P. AGNEW. FOR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY. On the record that my administration of the office of prosecuting attorney has made for the past eighteen months, I again seek the nomination for prosecuting attorney of King county at the hands of the next Republican county convention. If nominated and elected, I hereby pledge to give to the voters and taxpayers just as economical administration in the affairs of the office for the ensuing two years as I will have in the past two years. KENNETH MACKINTOSH. FOR COUNTY ASSESSOR. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the nomination for King county subject to the endorsement of the Republican county convention.

Peter, for whom I acted as chief deputy during the four years he will have been assessor, subject to the ratification of the next Republican county convention. If nominated and elected I will, as in the past, give value received. CHESTER EATON FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER. After consulting with a very large percentage of the voters in the Third Commissioners' District I have decided to seek the nomination for county commissioner from the Third District, subject to the ratification of the next Republican county convention. If nominated and elected I will endeavor to carefully look into every contract let by the commissioners and use due diligence in protecting the taxpayers from being imposed upon in the letting of contracts. My vote shall always be cast for a judicious expenditure of all county funds. Call for Republican State Convention.

The trolley party given in honor of Bishop Grant on Monday afternoon was well attended and every one enjoyed themselves to the highest. On Friday evening, Aug. 17, a number of the young ladies gave a dancing party at the Afro-American hall on 27th avenue and Madison street. The evening was pleasantly spent in games and dancing. Miss Helen Stafford of Spokane arrived in the city Thursday, Aug. 23, and is the guest of Miss Alma Clark. Mrs. John R. Davis of Portland, formerly of Tacoma, was in the city a few days this week. Rev. and Mrs. Donohoo left for Tacoma Wednesday morning, Aug. 22, to be present at the annual conference. Mrs. J. G. Gayles, accompanied by her neice, Miss Wylie Lee, left for Tacoma Saturday, Aug. 25, where they will spend several days, also attending conference. "Deadwood Dick," the play at the Third Avenue Theatre this week, scored, apparently, the greatest success of any play of the season last Sunday. The theatre was crowded at both performances, and hundreds were turned away. "Deadwood Dick" is a play of the plans,—that is, a large section of the prairie country lying from the 42nd meridian south. The play deals with realistic life in the Black Hills, thirty years ago. "Deadwood Dick" is the hero, and Laurette Taylor, as "Kit Carson, Jr.," his sweetheart, is one of the most fetching plains women ever seen in a like character. There are about a thousand good laughs in the play, and almost any one can enjoy it. Next week will be the last week of the Taylor Company at the Third Avenue Theatre for the present. The play will be "The Female Detectives," a living mirror of New York life, with all the pitfalls in both high and low life. There is more comedy in the play than sensationalism. Two young policemen, brothers, disguised as Irish women, run to earth the cleverest band of criminals that New York has ever been cursed with, and strange, the story is taken from actual life and many of the characters are living today. The Third Avenue Theatre will be dark for two weeks after Russell & Drew open the Seattle Theatre, on September 2nd, with a New York company, "On the Bridge at Midnight." The Taylor Company appears at the Seattle Theatre, week of September 9th, in "Stolen by Gypsies," with Mr. Edwin Fox, one of last season's favorite actors in the cast.
