Maine did its duty as usual, though the Democrats got very busy. Where the restricted district will land seems to puzzle Moore persons than Chief Wappy. If the owners of the Seattle Times have not reached the limit in journalistic ego then it is utterly impossible for the limit to be reached. What the King County Republican Club of itself lacks of being a "burlesque on politics" is so slight that it would take an expert to detect it. Unless some of the political gossip that is going the rounds just now is untrue Congressman Humphrey is rapidly losing his King county popularity. Suiciding in Seattle seems to be rather popular just now. Is it a case of too much prosperity and the victims are taking their lives rather than spend their money? If it be a fact that more than a thousand ocean crafts went to the bottom in 1905, Davy Jones is having a great time bottomizing the mighty influx of emigrants. Joint statehood for Arizona and New Mexico must be a good thing for President Roosevelt has recommended it, but the citizens of Arizona beg leave to differ even from Teddy. Gompers made a bad prediction when he said he would defeat Congressman Charles E. Littlefield of Maine for re-election. Gomp must have gotten his political training in a Democratic school. Sidney Sloan, the seventeen-year-old reprobate of Spokane who murdered his father, may think he had just cause for committing the dastardly act since the father only left him $5 in his will. Spokane's fruit fair is in no sense related or connected with either a distiller's league or the Liquor Dealers' Association, and --- SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON SEPTEMBER 14, 1906. therefore the Democrats need not delay their state convention on its account. Bank wrecking is the new fad that effete down Easters have adopted in order to relieve the unwary of ready cash. It may be a more gentlemanly way than that used by the James gang, but it gets there just the same. "Stranger things might happen than Rooosevelt being president until 1812," said Speaker Cannon in a Maine speech the other day. Possibly one of those would be Speaker Cannon president till 1812 or for any length of time. Congressman J. N. Gillette captured the gubernatorial nomination of California, and being Harriman's man Friday, it is predicted even by Republicans that the next governor of the state will be Democratic in politics. "Stood on the Bridge at Mimnight" is quite romantic and many a love-sick swain has done so only to stand on a measuring and weighing machine a few months thereafter in his preparations to retiring from active life. For a mill between Gans and Britt the National Athletic Club of San Diego, California, offers a purse of $25,000. Ahem. In the future had we not better look more after our boys' muscle than their brains. Evidently it will pay the boy better. Some of the Seattle saloonkeepers continue to run their places in defiance to the city ordinances, which leads the law-abiding citizen to think, the city has no rights or laws that a saloon man is bound to respect. Why not use a little of your reform vile, Mr. Mayor. Temporary disappointment may add sweetness to the cup of joy when it comes, but if you have watched the incoming trains for three or four days for dear ones, you will agree with us that the draught would be just as acceptable if it lacked some of that kind of sweetness. Notwithstanding the fact that this is hangman's day, the Democrats of the county have assembled in Seattle as though the seat of government was not here. With the sheriff in town we hardly see how some of them at least will be able to keep from stretching hemp before they escape. Laborers, despite the thousand and one labor saving devices that have been invented in recent years, are sadly needed all over the United States. Men with an inventive turn of mind should either get more active in per- --- PRICE TEN CENTS. fecting mechanical labor devices or European steamship agents should get busy in the emigrant business. After all the United States government would greatly relieve the labor situation if she would permit a couple of million of Chinese to come here and do the work all over the country that is going undone from time to time for a lack of laborers. In spurning Illinois' presidential endorsement W. J. B. must go on the assumption that he will get the nomination without Illinois and having no earthly show of getting an electoral vote from that state, and if in this we be correct, the paramount issue candidate is dead safe in handing the Democrats of Illinois a bunch of for-get-me-nots. We hope the state Republican convention next week will so favor the Yukon-Alaska Exposition by making one of the planks in its platform endorse it. In other states the state conventions endorsed the expected expositions to be held therein, and there is no reason why the coming state convention should not take similar action. The Oklahoma wheat crop is one of the eight wonders of the world. Benjamin Morgan has figured out the following interesting statistics to show the greatness thereof: If the wheat were placed in stacks a rod long and averaging seventy-five bushels to the stack, if stood on end, it would make more than one stack extending from El Reno to New York city, and forty-six stacks extending from El Reno to Oklahoma City. It would require one machine, thrashing 300 bushels a day, 300 days to the year, sunshine or rain, 120 years to thrash the crop. A train of freight cars 263 miles long would be required to haul all the wheat.—Bellingham Revelle. The special city and county election held last Wednesday in Seattle and King county resulted in the water bonds being carried, the defeat of the municipal ownership street railway proposition and the carrying of the Moore canal bonds throughout the county, the results of which will be the water system of Seattle will be improved to the extent of $2,500,000; there will be but one street car system in the city and that James A. Moore will begin to pitch dirt on the canal before the snow flies. The vote was rather light, but at elections of this nature the vote is always light. Voters do not have or take the same interest in bond election though there money is being voted away as they do in voting some one into office. Twenty Negro voters at North Yakima have organized what is to be known as the Progressive Independent Political Club.. The object is to support the best man for the office regardless of party. The independence in politics idea is beginning to take root and threatens to forever destroy the power of the old time party boss.—Exchange. THE YELP OF A CUR. The idea of bringing Negro help from the South to do the work in Washington is preposterous. Not but what the colored man has, and enjoys all the rights that the white man does, but this is not naturally a colored man's country and the man who advocates it is ignorant of the results that it will bring or he never lived in the South or where the colored man predominated. There are a few in the state; treat them well but do not encourage any more to come here under any consideration.—Snohomish Tribune. That all the damphools have not been killed yet can be seen from the above. By whose order, pray, do you issue such an edict? Certainly not President Roosevelt's, as he stands for "all men up" and a "square deal." Hardly at Governor Mead's request, for if he has taken a stand in this instance its the first time he has taken a decided stand on anything, except the pardoning of criminals, since he has been governor. The Vox Populi has not spoken, for when it speaks, it never selects the pusilanimous offscourings of the earth through whom to speak. If by the authority of none of these you issue your edict, then it must be by the authority of your own diseased brain. "Not a colored man's country," you say. If not his country then, whose country is it? The "colored man" has bled for this country and died for this country in every war in which she has engaged with a foreign foe, a wild Indian, or a Southern traitor, and does not that give him some rights? The colored man has been the bone and sinew of this country for the past 300 years, and for his toil he has received little or no recompense. Do not these give him home rights? How long has it been since you or your ancestors came to this country? When you got here you found the colored man here and at work like the very devil preparing a home for you. "Treat them well," you command of your subjects to do toward the few colored men already in the state. You dare to treat one of them otherwise and he will swat you in the snoot and will be liberally applauded for the act by every white gentleman. You wretched semi-pauper, how dare you dictate to men of money whom they employ and how they spend their money. Not give capable colored men employment because their faces are black is Anarchism in its most dangerous form. The morals of the colored man where they are more or less congested together may not be the best, but it hardly could be worse than the moral atmosphere that is common to most of our Western cities. Bad as their morals are said to be you have never heard of a colored man raping his own daughter, and such is frequently reported in this state. If the men of business desire to encourage colored men to come here to work for them how dare you "po' white trash" to raise your voice to the contrary. When such miserable rubbish of the earth assume the role of dictator to their superiors both white and black, they are shouldering more than they can lug and the sooner they drop their load the better for them. This country—Western Washington—wants men who will work, men who can work, and men who know how to work, and when such men THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN come and apply for work they are going to get it, organized labor, damphools and Anarchists to the contrary, notwithstanding. Not desirable citizens for the community in what respect? In spite of the fact that work is denied them, yet in the city of Seattle 75 per cent of the colored voters own their own homes and the assesesd valuation of their property in King county is $500,000, which they have paid for by doing odd jobs, blacking boots and other menial work. Do you mean to say that men of such industry and thrift are not more desirable citizens than 99 per cent of the foreign slums, the most of whom are either criminal Anarchists outright or organized labor Anarchists, who annually flock to the United States? BORROWED THOUGHTS Let it be said in respectful remembrance of Russell Sage that at no time in his long life did he act at all like a Pittsburg millionaire.—Toledo Blade. If the Americans are driven out of Mexico by the natives, it is more than extradition treaties have ever been able to accomplish.—Detroit Free Press. The Indiana board of health has started a campaign against kissing, apparently not realizing that it is rushing in where angels fear to tread.—Toledo Blade. New York city is compelled to economize in the use of water. The suggestion is made that the pipe leading into Wall street be shut off.—Cleveland Leader. Those North Carolina lynchers whose conviction was postponed on a technicality are not so much opposed to the law's delays as formerly.—Atlanta Journal. Congressman Rainey, of Illinois, is to have charge of the Democratic congressional headquarters, and the Republicans may as well prepare to get soaked.—Washington Post. It is understood that Mr. Bryan thoroughly concurs in the opinion of Chairman Sherman, of the Republican congressional campaign committee, that no real Democrat was running against Colonel Roosevelt last time. Indianapolis News. Representative Longworth says that he was a little disappointed in Mr. Bryan's speeches in England. Nevertheless, the Post-Express has confidence enough in Mr. Bryan's oratorical ability to predict that the peerless leader will run ahead of his ticket in England.—Rochester Post-Express. The Year-Book of the Young Men's Christian Association, which has just been issued, furnishes some interesting statistics. We quote a selection: The organization has enrolled more than 400,000 members in 1,761 branches. The total membership in 1866 was but 32,000; it is now 405,789; and in the same period the current receipts and expenditures have rolled up from $164,000 to $5,319,153, while the cost for its supervisory work (the state and international committees), to which is largely responsible the development of the organization has increased from $279 to $425,966, with an added foreign budget of $151,691. The North American associations have 61 foreign secretaries September 14, 1906 in ten countries, besides a larger number of native secretaries, and sent out 18 new men last year. The net property has shown the unparalleled increase in one year of $4,887,000, making a total of $36,891,361 in value of real estate held, besides $4,794,360 pledges for new buildings now being erected in 150 cities. In the past year the amount of money actually received by associations for current expenses and buildings was over $10,000,000. Its membership is more widely distributed; the chief divisions being 80,501 railroad men, 53,256 students, 13,355 colored men, and large numbers of miners, soldiers, sailors, Indians, etc. In some associations over one hundred different occupations are represented. The number of secretaries and physical directors employed increased from 2,013 to 2,039, and 303 positions are temporarily vacant.—Literary Digest.

Johnston Co. 903 Second Ave. NOTE—Thru an error on the part of the engraver the Fifth and Sixth Prizes are wrongly indicated and should be vice versa Next Wednesday the Republican state convention will convene in Seattle at the Grand Opera House to nominate three representatives to Congress and four members of the supreme bench. There being no fight against the present representatives, W. L. Jones, F. W. Cushman and W. E. Humphrey, their nominations will simply be ratified by the convention. The four members of the supreme bench will likewise be re-nominated, though the name of Max Gose of Garfield has been mentioned in connection with one of these nominations. Judges Wallace Mount and R. O. Dunbar will be re-nominated, and Judges Root and Crow will receive their first nominations, and all without opposition. The Piemaker predicts that the name of Max Gose will never reach the stage of consideration. The intention of Crocker having it mentioned at all was to kill S. G. Cosgrove for governor in 1908. Speaking about Senator S. H. Piles dictating the nominations for the legislature from King county; there seems to be no doubt of it, but when the convention conceded Mr. Piles that it then set down on him like a barrel of brick. Senator Piles wanted to name the delegation to the state convention from his district, but he was not permitted to name a single one. Senator Piles wanted to be a delegate to the state convention himself, but even in that wish he was turned down, thus murdering his fond and idolized hope of him being chairman of the state convention. That is utterly out of the question now, for no delegate convention can go outside of its regularly elected body for either a temporary or a permanent chairman. Senator Piles is having a particular hard time in establishing himself as a political dictator. Something must be out of gear. It would seem that even in Senator Piles' home district he is far from popular. Last spring his political bodyguard nominated H. L. Jaffe for councilman. Senator Piles wrote an open letter endorsing him, but in spite of this he was defeated and a Democrat elected. His henchmen nominated John Riplinger for mayor and the senator wrote another letter endorsing his candidacy, which letter was reproduced and placed on every bill board in the city, but Riplinger was defeated, which tended to show the voters of Seattle did not give a tinker's dam whom Senator Piles wanted, and they therefore would vote as they pleased. The above named nominees were the only ones that received Senator Piles' personal endorsement, while the other nominees, who did not receive it, got all the way from 3,000 to 4,000 pluralities. Something must be out of gear. Senator Piles dictated the nomination of Plenny Allen for state senator, and now Allen seems almost certain to meet defeat at the polls the 6th of November, and, if he does, it will be next to a death blow to the dictator. In stead of bringing strength to a nominee the endorsement of Senator Piles would have the appearance of weakening a candidate before the people. Four other of the senator's endorsements for the state sen- ate are in danger of defeat, though by his wonderful political magnetism, when on the stump, he may be able to pull them through. Two years ago Mr. Piles had to speak in every voting precinct in the county to save the ticket, nad now he must do so again and even then he has no assurance of a sweeping success. Something must be out of gear. * * * When men seek party nominations for the express purpose of forming a pool with other members in order that vicious legislation may be enacted and passed, which legislation is designed to filch from the general public large sums of money, either directly or indirectly, to be gathered in by a few mercinary individuals, then such legislative nominees should be defeated at the polls whether they be Republican or otherwise in politics. When such an aggregation likewise attempts to hold up some candidate for United States senate then again such nominees should be defeated. There is evidence that some of the Republican nominees for the legislature are bent on doing both of these things, if elected, and therefore they should be defeated. *** Today the county Democratic convention is in session and if the delegates are wise in making their nominations the political history of 1896 will almost repeat itself. All of which leads the Pie-maker to suggest to the delegates that Van R. Pierson be nominated for state senator from the Thirty-first, it would mean almost certain success. The nomination of F. A. McDonald might mean the defeat of E. M. Williams; the nomination of A. L. Haas would mean the certain defeat of P. L. Allen. It is claimed that John Schram would beat George U. Piper, the Republican nominee of the Thirty-fourth. Bo Sweeney, it is not generally believed, could defeat Senator Potts, but if nominated would give him a close call. The nomination of W. D. Wood or Mathew Dow by the Democrats, for state senator, would mean that Bob Booth would have his hands full to defeat him. But will the Democrats do it? If they do it today it will be the first time. They seem to have the happy faculty of always doing the right thing at the wrong time, and vice versa. * * * WELCOME AND WARNING TO THE DELEGATES. On behalf of the citizens of Seattle The Seattle Republican is pleased to welcome the delegates to the Republican convention, and the delegates will have no trouble in finding comfort, happiness and good fellowship on every hand while with us. We wish them a thoroughly good time, and when they return to their homes we want them filled with the Seattle spirit and to entertain pleasant memories of their visit, with a firm and lasting determination to come again at every opportunity. We are proud of our city and proud of our state, and realize that each is dependent upon the other. The last Republican State Convention placed in the hands of a state central committee the management of the last campaign, and you know the result. A warning was sounded to the effect that the great majority of people do not care what any officer's political affiliations are. They want a fair and honest administration of public affairs. September 14, 1906 There is no sentiment about it. They believe that the preferment and salary is all that anyone shold expect. This was never more clearly shown than when one of our United States senators was not placed at the head of his home delegation to the coming convention. A congressman met the same fate. The public does not appreciate or reward. Ninety per cent. of the ballots cast at the last state election were scratched. What did this mean? It meant that the people of this state didn't believe the last state convention was held on the square. Even now that the last legislature redeemed every promise of the Republican party, passed an effective railroad commission, a tax commission, and provided for oil and highway inspection, etc., yet today, when you talk to the average voter and point out all this to him and he is satisfied with the result, he says: "Yes, but I still believe the slate was made in a private car." No committee can ever overcome such a handicap. It was only overcome two years ago by it being a presidential year, together with the herculean efforts of a Republican press. Daily throughout the campaign the Post-Intelligence sent forth editorials, copies of congressional records and knocks of every description against the plumed knights of democracy whom our own president had so shortly before honored. The Post-Intelligencer, alone, spent thousands of dollars making the last campaign. Two hundred weekly papers stood loyally by the party and rendered every effort to the party possible, and, moreover, not a single Republican paper was paid a penny for its efforts. If the Republican party continues to win it must put forward its best and most efficient citizens. To do this we must increase salaries. You cannot employ brains and talent on honor and hot-air alone,—coin is the first incentive. Think of a governor on $4,000 a year. Look at his enormous expense—rent, constant callers, entertaining of citizens of the State of Washington and other states, traveling expenses, hotel bills and incidental expenses expected to be borne by a man in his position. Is it any wonder our governor, a poor man, keeps a cow and curries and harnesses his own horse. Look at our judges, prosecuting attorneys, corporation counsels, are they the strongest and ablest men in each of your respective counties? Could you induce your strongest and ablest men in your respective counties to accept these positions at the salaries now paid? Again, look at your county commissioners. In this county alone they handled millions of dollars and received a salary of $1000 each. What man of business would turn over his private affairs of that magnitude to a man he could employ on such a salary? Is it any wonder that there is jobbing in bridges, county roads, poor farms, etc. Look again to the teachers in our public schools. We employ and pay them for nine months of the year, and expect them to spend the other three months in better preparation. The average teacher gets $50 per month. They should receive a salary commensurate with the great work they are doing and then there would be an incentive to make it a life work and draw out one's best efforts.

MOORE INVESTMENT CO. ANNUAL ADDRESS By Booker T. Washington, President National Negro Business League, Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 29th, 1906. So much has been said anent Prof. Booker T. Washington's late address at the Negro Business League, held at Atlanta, Georgia, the latter part of August, that the same is herewith reproduced. No address ever before issued by him is more replete and so full of food for thought as this: "It is well that the National Negro Business League holds this session right here in the heart of the south where the great body of our people live, and where their salvation is to be worked out. This organization does not undertake to concern itself with all the interests of the race, for there are other organizations that deal with the political, religious and educational interests of our people. "From the first, and I hope this meeting will prove no exception, the National Negro Business League has steadfastly held to the policy of stimulating the activities of our people in the direction of agriculture, industrial and business enterprises. It is the policy of this organization to hold up before the race its advantages, rather than its disadvantages, its successes, rather than its failures; to call the attention of the world to the efforts of our friends, rather than to those of our enemies. "We believe that while the world may pity a crying, whining race, it seldom respects it. In a word the National Negro Business League, while not overlooking or justifying injustice or rongs or failing to recognize the value of other methods seeking to reach the same end, feels that the race can make progress and secure the greatest protection by its efforts in progressive, constructive directions, by constantly presenting to the world tangible and visible evidences of our worth as a race. We believe that the influence of one great success in really accomplishing something that the world respects will go furthest in promoting our interests. Let constructive progress be the dominant note among us in every section of America. An inch of progress is worth more than a yard of fault finding. The races that have grown strong and useful have not done so by depending upon finding fault with others, but by presenting to the world evidences of the progress in agriculture, industrial and business life, as well as through religious, educational and civic growth. "Right here in Georgia we have abundant evidence that the Negro, in spite of difficulties, is learning this lesson at a rapid rate. It is safe to say that the Negro in Georgia owns at least $20,000,000 worth of taxable property, and that our people in other sections of the South have made almost equal progress. Within the past year I have inspected and studied the condition and progress of our people in the Northern and Western states as I have never done before, and I have no hesitation in re-affirming my former opinion that the Southern states offer the best permanent abode for the masses of our people. While many individuals may find prosperity outside of the South, and have the right to make the effort, yet laying the foundation for growth in life essentials, which this organization seeks first of all to promote, I know no section of this country where our people are making more progress, and where the future is more full of promise than right here in the South. In thus expressing myself I do not over- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN look the fact that we have a large number of Negroes in the North and West whose success is in the highest degree creditable, nor do I overlook those things in the South, which often discourage many of our people. In connection with our future here in the South, I do not share the fear that immigration will retard or interfere with our progress. The millions of unoccupied and unused acres in the South have yet to be used by someone, and the present scarcity of all forms of labor in which business prosperity in a large measure depends, cannot always remain unsatisfied. A few thousand strong, sturdy, thrifty foreigners in each county will go far toward quickening our energy and sharpening our wits, by bringing their healthy competition, which is very much needed in many sections of the South. Our salvation is to be found not in our ability to keep another race out of territory, but in our learning to ge. as much out of the soil, out of the occupations, or business, as any other race can get out of theirs. "The more I study our condition and need, the more I am convinced that there is no surer road by which we may reach civic, moral educational and religious development than by laying the foundation in the ownership and cultivation of the soil, the saving of money, commercial growth, and the skillful, conscientious performance of any duty with which we are entrusted. This policy does not mean the limiting or circumscribing of the activities or ambitions of the race. Progress through this method means the exercise of patience, faith, courage and eternal vigilance; but there is no escape from it. It is the road that all nations have traveled, which have gotten upon their feet. "There is much that the brave intelligent, patriotic white men of America can do for us; there is much that we can do for ourselves. The executive au thorities should see to it that every law is enforced, regardless of race or color, that the weak are protected against injustice from the strong. We have examples in several of the Southern states that this is being done in an encouraging degree. Without this encouragement and protection of the law it is not possible for the Negro to succeed as a laborer, or in any line of business. Duty of the Negro. "On the Negro's part we have a duty. Our leaders should see to it that the criminal Negro is gotten rid of whenever possible. Making all allowances for mistakes, injustice and the influence of racial prejudice. I have no hesitance in saying that one of the elements in our present situation that give me most concern is the large number of crimes that are being committed by members of our race. The Negro is committing too much crime North and South. We should see too it as far as our influence extends, that crimes are fewer in number; otherwise the race will permanently suffer. The crime of lynching everywhere and at all times should be condemned, and those who commit crimes of any kind should be condemned. Our Southland today has no greater enemy to business progress than lynchers and those who provoke lynching. "In this same connection let us bear in mind that every man, white or black, who takes the law into his hands to lynch, or burn, or shoot, human being supposed to be, or guilty of crime, is insulting the executive, judicial and law making bodies of the state in which he resides. Lawlessness in one direction will inevitably lead to lawlessness in other directions. This is the experience of the whole civilized world. "In this connection let us consider the classes of Negroes that do not commit crime and that are seldom charged with crime. They are those who own homes, who are taxpayers, who have a trade or other regular occupation; they are those who are in professional service; those who have received education, and such business men and women as compose this organization. "I think I would be safe in saying that no graduate of Clark University, Atlanta Baptist College, Atlanta University, Morris Brown College or Spelman Seminary has been arrested for any crime in Atlanta during the last twelve months. "In this we have a strong, practical demonstration right here at home in favor of education of the classes of our citizenship. Ignorance will always mean crime, and crime is an unwieldly burden fastened about the neck of the South. The only safety for both races is in the direction of education, industry and high character. "I have named the classes which do not commit crime. Which is the class that is guilty, as a rule, of criminal action? They are the loafers, the drunkards and gamblers, men for the main part without permanent employment, who own no homes, who have no bank account, who glide from one community to another without interest in any one spot. One of the practical courses of men such as those who compose this business league, our leaders in the pulpit and every sphere of life, should pursue is to try to get hold of the floating class of our people and see to it that their lives are so changed as to make them cease to disgrace our race and disturb our civilization. We cannot be too frank or too strong in discussing the harm that the committing of crime is doing to our race. Let us stand up straight and speak out in no uncertain terms in this direction. Let us do our part, and then let us call upon the whites to do their part. "Let us never grow discouraged as a race. Right here in the South there are more things upon which the races agree, than upon which they disagree. Let us not be so much absorbed in our grievances that we fail to remember our successes and opportunities. "In the Southern states the Negro has organized and is now conducting thirty three banks. He has in the United States over one-hundred drug stores. Almost every town and city in the South has its Negro grocery store and other places of business. There is practically no section of the South where the Negro farmer, mechanic, merchant and banker cannot find encouragement, opportunity and prosperity. In this respect let us not overlook the fact that many similar opportunities are at our door. "At a very conservative figure the Negro is paying taxes on over $300,000,-000 worth of property—and I suppose the Negro imitates other races in not always paying taxes upon all of his belongings. "What we have accomplished in the past, in the face of many diffieulties is a guarantee of what we can attain in the future. "Finally let us cultivate a spirit of racial pride. Let us learn to be as proud of our race as the Frenchman, German, the Japanese, or the Italian is of his. The race that has faith and pride in it" self will eventually win the respect, the confidence and co-operation of the rest of the world." PERSONAL. Mrs. H. P.
