Facing a conspiracy on the part of the Standard Oil is nothing new under the sun. "Night work," it is being argued, "is sure to be inferior." Perhaps that's true, but most men would prefer not to admit it. "An exotic reilgion for New York," is the latest bit of news. We were of the opinion that old man Dowie went to Mexico. Ought Protestant clergymen to marry? has been asked. For family protection and a preventure of murder we suspect the average layman would answer yes. There may be a certain amount of satisfaction in being "the world's greatest citizen," but Billy Bryan would much prefer to be only the president of the United States. Is there a language of animals? has been asked. Perhaps not, but there is a language for animals that balk in harness which sounds just as ridiculous as animal jargon might sound. "Dam the Mississippi," says an exchange. That may be impossible, but Vardeman's actions has caused a good many folk to "dam the Mississippi." There are more newspaper corporations besides Billy Hearst's that do not pay half the amount in taxes that they should and Candidate Hughes, if elected, should dose them all with the same kind of stuff. That a Negro criminal might not be lynched he was spirited from the Macon, Georgia, jail to the Atlanta jail for protection. Talk about jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, but did you ever hear of a case more apropos. In speaking about the French government withdrawing financial support from the Catholic church, a writer is of the opinion that, "a grave problem is confronting the French clergy." What, so soon after the public test is withdrawn? Even the policemen of Seattle do not seem to be able to arrest a Negro for a trivial offense without beating the life out of the Historical LE REPUBLIC SEATTLLE. WASHINGTON OCTOBER 12, 1906. PRICE man. There is nothing left for the Negro to do but to be prepared to always send the brass buttoned bull to before he goes. In Cordia, Kansas, it is alleged that there is no one poor enough to receive charity. Christ taught, "the poor will be with you always," and yet none are to be found in Concordia. Either Concordia was not on the map or her inhabitants were not of the genus homo that Christ spoke of. When one does not do as you would have them do, get a gun and put his peepers out, seems to be a new form of the Seattle spirit. There has been an epidemic of the taking of human life in King county for the past eight months and thus far no one has been punished for the inhuman act. "A million dallar improvement for Irondale," says J. A. Moore, the Northwest promoter. He is a man with Moore irons in the fire out of which he will mould millions of dollars than can be found in any other state or city in the Union, and yet none of them are tainted with Standard Oil poison. If the time ever comes when Uncle Sam will be in extreme poverty, as prophecies Jim Hill, the railroad magnate, he can have the supreme satisfaction of saying, and that, too, without fear of successful contradiction, "I've seen better days." Under no circumstances should Uncle Sam permit Old Glory to be used for advertising purposes, the opinion of Judge Advocate Davis to the contrary notwithstanding. To use it for such purpose would destroy its sacredness as a national emblem and lead men to scoff at it instead of honor it as they now do. Down South the white man seems to be able to see the "nigger" on the barn, but cannot see the barn. In other words the slightest insult the Negro offers to the white woman is followed by a lynching and yet 99 per cent of those who participate in lynching bees are guilty of cohabiting with Negro women. Get right yourself and then perhaps the Negro will follow suit. He has followed you in crime and it is natural to suppose he will follow you in uprightness. There is no more probability of Sheriff L. C. Smith being defeated by the Democratic nominee for sheriff than there is of him being defeated by the Socialist candidate for the same office. King county has never had a more efficient and praiseworthy sheriff than has Mr. Smith proven himself to be, and the public is quite aware of that fact, and Mr. Smith would be elected if an Ed Cudihee was his Democratic opponent, and that is saying a good deal. Ex-Sheriff Cudihee fully realized this and that is one reason why he ```markdown ``` refused to run for sheriff as Mr. Smith's opponent. Three Cowlitz county cities are scrapping for the honor of being the county seat and to us fellows from Kansas it brings to our minds fighting memories of the past. "Homeless Men to be Cared for," is the object of a charitable organization. It is a beautiful theory, but the organization that undertakes it will soon find itself bankrupt, so frequent will be the calls. If Judge Frater and City Engineer Thomson are not the death of the editor of the Evening Mudslinger then we miss our guess. They have already run him so near crazy that he himself cannot tell he is foot or flying. After a half a century's control of the Republican party in New York and a successful career in the United States senate covering many years Senator Tom Platt will retire in absolute disgrace. Is it possible for a "white man" to so wander from the straight and narrow path? Locking men up in the Seattle city jail seems to be a useless procedure, since they only remain in there long enough to get a few squares when they climb out while the policemen discuss the latest form of graft, that might come in handy some time in their business. Yakima Jones of Washington state should consider himself honored as he is one among those whom Gompers, the crank, has slated for defeat at the coming election. The black list is as follows: McCall of Massachusetts, John Dalzell of Pittsburg, George E. Lilley of Connecticut, Jacob Rupfert of New York city, J. J. Gardner of New Jersey, Wesley L. Jones of Washington, and Charles E. Littlefield of Maine. If Gompers is no more successful with the others than he was with Littlefield, why the whole bunch is "dare now." IMMIGRANTS FROM THE SOUTH. The first considerable shipload of immigrants sent directly to a southern port has been unloaded at Charleston, South Carolina. The newcomers are Belgians. Their arrival marks the opening of a regular service by North German Lloyd ships in which immigrants will be brought from Europe and freight taken for the return. South Carolina announced definitely early last year its desire to bring new people within its borders. Only about a third of the 200,000,000 acres is classed as improved farming land, and the quickest way to secure the population needed for development seems to lie in tapping the country's great immigration stream. There is also a demand Society LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 ICAN PRICE TEN CENTS. 1. rage 2 for many factory hands. The state pays the transportation expense of the first shipload of immigrants. Other parts of the South are in sympathy with the movement in which South Carolina is most active. The idea that immigration may do great things for that section is strengthened by such living examples as the Italian colonies of Louisiana and Texas, the Poilsh farming colonies in Virginia and Ten- nessee and the colonies of Swiss in Missouri, Italian workers on rice and cotton planta- tions do far better for themselves and their employers than do the Negroes long accus- tomed to the toil. Diversion of aliens to other ports may be expected in time to simplify the immigra- tion problem of New York. But meanwhile the metropolis is threatened by reason of race riots in the South with large Negro mi- gration from that section. A shifting be- tween sections of different questions in race treatment would open a remarkable chapter in American history. It is altogether prob- able that the race problem in the South will be solved not by deportation of the Negro population to some foreign country, but by the distribution of the Negroes all over the United States——Walla Walla Union. TILLMAN EXCITES RACE PASSIONS. Senator Tillman of South Carolina pre- diets that within ten years there will be a bloody race war in the United States, and he is doing his best to bring about a verifica- tion of his prediction. There is probably no man in the country who hates the Negro with amore bitter hatred than Tillman. It is easy to understand what he has in mind when he declares that the ‘‘white men of the South should go ahead and do what they believed right, regardless of all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell.’’ Yet Senator Tillman is less vigorous now in his open condemnation of all Negroes than he was a few years ago. Then he made no exceptions; now he says there are many mil- jlons of innocent Negroes who should be pro- tected from false teachers and bad leaders. But he must know that in constantly stirring up race hatred he is giving encouragement to prejudices and passions which know no discrimination. “The burning issue,’’ he asserts, ‘‘is how to prevent and not avenge criminal assault.’” He admits that lynching has failed to accom- plish prevention. Why, then, does he not ad- yoeate recourse to the law and the courts? Why does he not strive to create that respect for the law which he, as a United States senator, is under obligation to uphold and defend? As a matter of fact lynching and shooting are instruments of vengeance and revenge has ever been the uppermost motive with the mobs. If the authority of govern- ment and the courts were relied upon and sustained by the whites of the south as it ought to be, a much better moral effect would be produced than ean ever be expected from violence. It is interesting to note that at the time Senator Tillman was making his speech at Atlanta, Bishop Walters of the African Zion Methodist Episcopal church was addressing a meeting in New York, urging more cordial THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN relations between the whites and the Negroes and appealing against the attempt of the whites, of whom Senator Tillman is one, to “‘degrade and destroy 10,000,000 American citizens.’’ If Senator Tillman’s professions of good will for ‘‘innoecent Negroes’’ is sin- cere why does he countenance legislative ac- tion to deprive them of their rights as citi- zens ?—Spokesman Review. DEPORTATION IMPRACTICABLE. From Ihe New York Limes, Separation of the races is the only radical solution of the Negro problem in this coun- try. There is nothing new about it. It was the Almighty who established the bounds of the habitation of the races. The Negroes were brought here by compulsion; they should be induced to leave here by persuas- ion.—Christian News and Courier. Certainly this would be a ‘‘radical’’ solu- tion of what is termed the Negro problem. We are not surprised that it should occur to Southern men under the immediate influ- ence of the events at Atlanta last week. Put- ting aside for the mement the question whethther the solution is the only one, it is worth while to consider how it can be ap- plied. The Charleston writer mentions an estimate made fifteen years since of $32,000,- 000 a year for ten years, $320,000,000 in all. We do not know if that estimate included compensation to the property owners among the deported race, if it did, it was obviously defective. The total expense would prob- ably be many times the amount mentioned. At the last census the Negroes, including all those of Negro descent, were reported to be 8,840,789, and the whites to be 66,990,802 in the whole é¢ountry; that is, the Negroes were about one-ninth of the population. But if we take the fourteen states south of the old Mason and Dixon’s line, the Negroes were reported to be 8,067,824 and the whites to be 17,436,495 ; that is to say, in these states there were in 1900 46 Negroes to each 100 whites, and the Negroes were roughly one- third of the population. There are four states, however, in which the Negroes are less than one-fourth of the poplation—Texas, where they are 26 per cent. of the whites; Maryland, where they are 22 per cent. of the whites; Kentucky, where they are 15 per cent, of the whites, and Missouri, where they are but 5 per cent. of the whites. This leaves ten of the Southern States in which the prop- ortion of the Negroes is much higher, and in eight of these ten the proportions are as follows: For every 100 whites there are in South Carolina 150 Negroes, in Mississippi 145, in Louisiana 90, in Georgia 88, in Ala- bama 82, in Florida 75, in Virginia 55, and in North Carolina 50. If we put aside the popu- lation of Missouri, Texas and Kentucky, we find that the total white population in the remaining Southern States was in 1900 10,202,674, and the Negro population was 7,001,162. The Negroes were 70 per cent. of the whites, and somewhat more than two- fifths of the entire population. Now here, if we are to take seriously the advice of The News and Courier, is the real “‘problem’’ of the Negroes. How is the South to get rid of two-fifths of its popula- tion, including the greater part, practically October 12 1906 the whole, of its agricultural laboring class? In the first place, where are they to go? What reason is there to think that the Republic of Liberia, named by The News and Courier, could provide homes and living for them? Next, how are they to be ‘‘induced’’ to go “by persuasion?’’ How much would be re- quired to compensate them for their present holdings, how much to pay the cost of their deportation, how much to insure to them rea- sonably attractive employment or settlement in Africa, and who is to furnish all this enor- mous sum? These are perfectly practical questions. They must be answered, and it is “up to’’ the proposers of the plan to answer them. But they are by no means all that must be answered. There is another list relating to all the industries now dependent on Negro labor in the South. They may be summed up in the simple question, What is to replace Negro labor? Grant, to start with, that Ne- gro labor in the South is not what it should be, is not nearly what the South neds, but there it is, the only labor for the time being available. There is a great mass of it. The body of the eight millions of Negroes in the South support themselves in some way. They contribute the greater share to the $454,000,- 000 worth of cotton, the $56,000,000 worth of wheat, the $28,000,000 worth of corn, the $18,000,000 worth of oats—$556,000,000 worth of farm products in all—raised in the South, Assume that it is possible to ‘‘in- duce’’ them to go to Africa, who are to take their places, who are to do their work? Quite apart from the almost incaleulable cost of their deportation, which the South must bear, if the expense is to be incurred, where is the South to find the arms to replace their arms? Tt will be an enormous task; it will take a long time; it will involve immense sacrifices. Without pronouncing judgment on the ‘‘so- lution”’ we venture to ask whether those who advocate it have considered these elements of the ‘‘problem,’’ and what is their opinion regarding them—N. Y.

S., of Denver, is the only Negro dentist in Colorado. Rev. Sam G. Jones was stricken with appoplexy while at prayer in Annista, Miss., last Sunday. Editor A. D. Griffin was insulted in a saloon at Portland, Oregon, and was arrested because he resented the insult. Dr. William J. White, editor of the Georgia Baptist, has left Augusta under protest—but it was either leave or be lynched. The Bethel A. M. E. church, of Washington, D. C., celebrated the 119th anniversary of the birth of that connection last week. The Alabama State Fair Association has erected a large beautiful building for the exclusive use of the Negro exhibit. October 27th will be Negro Day. The 13th biennial meeting of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America, was held at Richmond, Va., last week. There were fourteen-thousand delegates present. Mr. E. H. Walker, who died at the soldiers home at Orting, Wash., last week, was a veteran of the civil war, a Mason of high standing and one of the pioneer barbers of Seattle. J. D McDuff, a Negro of Oceola, Fla., attended an auction of horses at Ft. Worth, Texas, last week and bought every horse offered for sale. He was buying for his farm in Florida. Four troops of the Ninth Cavalry have been ordered from Jefferson Parracks, Nev., to Ft. Sheridan near Chicago. This is the first time that colored troops have been permanently stationed so far east. There are now thirty-one Negro banks in the United States. These banks have a combined capital of $350,000. Their deposits amount to $1,192,000 and only a very small per cent. of our people are using the banks controlled by Negroes. The colored man had as well learn today as to learn it fifty years from today—that "conventions, resolutions and prayers" are all well enough, but that he must DO something besides these three. He must save, buy, build, combine and support his own nterprises.—St. Luke's Herald. Capt. John R. Lynch, a Negro, has been raised to major to succeed Colonel Halford who has been made lieutenant colonel. While Major Lynch is the first colored man to reach that rank in the staff or line of the army, a chaplain of the Twenty-fourth infantry was commissioned major two years ago and retired as a lieutenant colonel last April by virtue of having served as a soldier in the Civil war. The eighth annual session of the National Afro-American council was held in New York City, Tuesday, the 9th, at St. Mark's M. E. church, Fifty-third street, between Seventh and Eighth; on Wednesday, October 10, at Mt. Olivet church Fifty-third street between Sixth and Seventh; on Thursday, Oct. 11th, at Mother Zion, on Eighty-ninth street between Amsterdam and Columbus. ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Afro-American population of Memphis, Tenn., is 80,000; business enterprises of various kinds 125; churches, 90; schools and colleges, 31; dry goods and grocery stores, 38; banks, 1; furniture dealers 10; lawyers, 12; doctors, 16; drug stores, 1; real estate agents, 6; newspapers that own their shops, 3; contractors and mechanics, 75; printers, 30; employed in postoffice, 100; laundries 2; lodges, 45; editors, 4; capitalists, 15; hotels and restaurants, 60; porters, cooks and other servants, 3,000; homes owned, 20,-000. Oklahoma and Indian Territories have several towns in which the population is composed exclusively of Afro-Americans, but probably the most noteworthy of them is the village of Tatum south of the Chickasaw Nation. Tatum is a town of 500 in which all business is carried on by Afro-Americans. It is not incorporated and has no regular city government, but its affairs are managed by a board of arbitration composed of the oldest and wisest men in the community. They take cognizance of all disputes between citizens and of minor offences, and the decisions are very generally accepted without question. It has become a matter of comment among court officials of the Southern district that there are fewer cases, civil or criminal, brought from that town than from almost any other town of the same size in the district. A SUNDAY LYCEUM WANTED. There is quite a spontaneous call for a Sunday Lyceum for Louisville. Sunday afternoon is a day off for hundreds of intelligent and worthy people who would gladly attend church if they felt they could be profitably entertained by the discussion of some current question of interest, supplemented by attractive music and other features. The Second Baptist Lyceum in Washington is the most popular literary organization in the National capital. It assembles from 3:30 to 5:00 Sunday afternoons, and has been known to draw from six to seven-hundred people. Louisville has the talent and the disposition to assist in such a movement. We are certain a centrally located church can be easily secured. Who will lead off in the cause?—Kentucky Standard. Why not the Negro citizens again take up the Forum? It can do no harm. If twelve persons good and true will decide to meet regularly every Sunday afternoon the Forum would soon become an organization of which all would be proud. Let's try it. The Forum will meet Sunday, October 14th at the Afro-American hall. COMPROMISES IN MARRIED LIFE. If marriage meant the wedding of a saint and an angel there would be no problems to solve, no perfection to attain, no progress to make. This may be why there are no marriages in heaven. On earth, it is different; husband and wife are strongly human. No matter how lovingly united or how sweet their accord, they never have the same temperaments, tendencies or tastes. Their needs are different, their manner of looking at things is not identical, and in varying ways their individualities assert themselves. At any critical moment if both express at the same time, a desire to defer to the other's taste, the result is foreordained for happiness. This makes matrimony not merely union, but unison and unity. The spirit of compromise does not mean a continuous performance in the way of self-surrender and self-sacrifice; it does not mean ceasing to be a voice and becoming an echo; it does not imply or justify the loss of individuality; it means the instinctive recognition of the best way out of a difficulty, the quickest tacking to avoid a collision, the Page 3 kindly view of tolerance in the presence of the weakness and errors of another, the courage to meet an explanation half way, the generosity to be first to appologize for a discord, the largeness of mind that does not fear a sacrifice of dignity in surrendering in the interests of the highest harmony of the two rather than the personal vanity of one.—From the September Delineator.

That he will be able to do more good for the county and the district than if his Democratic opponent, F. A. McDonald, is elected goes without saying. There will not be a half dozen Democrats in [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. E. M. WILLIAMS the legislature and it is perfectly natural to conclude that the Republican majority will not permit one or two Democrats to put any legislation through that will be detrimental to their interest for future partisan success and it is perfectly natural for a Democrat to attempt to put through just such legislation. In the thirty-second senatorial district is located the state university and for the past six years O. A. Tucker, owing to the fact he stood well with the leading Republicans of the legislature, managed to get many concessions for the state university that it would not have gotten had a Democrat represented the district. Mr. Williams already stands high in Republican circles and if he is elected he will be able to pick up the work where Senator Tucker laid it down and secure for the district as much or more as it has been heretofore getting, which under the circumstances would be utterly impossible for Mr. McDonald to do. E. M. Williams is a New Yorker, born in 1867 and came to Seattle when twenty-one years of age. He was a pioneer in the fishing business and is well posted on all branches of that industry. The Thirty-second district has vital interests in the industry and Mr. Williams is the one senatorial candidate who is peculiarly fitted to look after such interests. After disposing of his fishing intersets, Mr. Williams became identified with the Barber Asphalt Paving Co. The fact that he is holding one of the most important positions in that company's service is indicative of his business ability and a criterion of his fight in life. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Democratic candidate for sheriff, L. W. Nelson, seems to have the worst dose of political jim jams of any one that has ever been nominated on the Democratic ticket in King county. He was overheard to say one day this week: "I am certain of being elected sheriff, as both the P.-I. and the Times will support me." Nelson will be beaten by not less than 8,000 or 10,000 majority by Sheriff Smith. The Pie-Maker does not know who the Times will support, but it does not believe it will support Nelson for sheriff. The Post-Intelligencer will support Sheriff Smith and for that reason he will lead the county ticket. With Nelson as his opponent and with both the P.-I. and the Times supporting Nelson then Smith would beat him by at least a 2,000 plurality. Had Cudihee remained on the ticket there is no doubt but that Sheriff Smith would have had to husstle to have beaten him, but Nelson will not be able to make a sufficient showing at the polls to convince even himself that "he also ran." "Ralph D. Nichols may not have been as strong a candidate as the Republicans could have nominated for state senator from the Thirty-first senatorial district, but there is no doubt in my mind but that he will beat D. C. Campbell by a majority that will reach way up in the hundreds," said a well known West Seattle politician one day this week, and who was not very favorable to Nichols' nomination. The Democratic party can always be depended on to do the wrong thing at the right time or the right thing at the wrong time. Had they have nominated Van R. Pierson he would have been elected hands down. The Times said one day this week that "Bryan had ruined the chances of the Democrats electing a president three times by forcing bad issues on the party," and so also has the Democratic party been repeatedly defeated for local offices by not putting broadminded liberal men on their ticket whom Republicans could vote for without feeling that they had taken a dose of turkey buzzard that had not only filled itself up on carn, but was itself two weeks gone in decay. POPULAR ELECTION OF SENATORS IN SPITE OF THE CONSTITUTION. Among a number of facts marshalled by Phillip L. Allen as evidence of the trend toward a purer Democracy in the United States, none is more significant than the growth of the movement for the popular election of Senators. Mr. Allen cites also the referendum, which has been adopted in an optional form by five states; the initiative, which has been adopted by two states and several cities, permitting the passage of a law at the polls by ballot, when it is not desired to leave it to the wisdom of the regular legislative body; the recall, adopted by a small group of California cities, which permits voters to take an official out of office by a legal process closely analogous to that by which they put him in: and the "neighborhood town meeting." But these, by comparison, are minor movements. The House of Representatives has five times passed resolutions for changing the mode of election to the senate, but these have always been defeated, or relegated to die in committee, by the latter body. Thirty-one state legislatures have taken action favoring popular election; Bryan again made it an issue in his recent Madison Square Ganden speech; October 12. 1906 and an interstate convention has been authorized for the sole purpose of furthering this same object. Short of amending the constitution there is no way of taking the election of Senators away from the state legislatures, and such an amendment will be discussed by the interstate convention at Des Moines. Meanwhile, however, a number of the states have discovered that the power of the legislature in this matter can be reduced from a real to a nominal control by providing for nominations of Senatorial candidates at popular primaries, the party which controls the legislature being bound to give its endorsement to the popular choice. This scheme of circumventing the constitution and popularizing an institution which was not intended to be popular, says the Washington Times, "has been carried further than most people realize." Thus, to quote again: "The South is practically solid for it. There being practically only one party in the South, the only way to get up a real coutest was to provide for it in a primary election; and the late doings in Georgia and South Carolina testify how effectually this has been done. The West is fast living up for the new idea. Oregon, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and other states have taken it up or are pledged to." "Before long the Senate will have been made just as popular a body as the House, and we will learn whether the method of its constitution was really responsible for its tendency to get out of touch with popular opinion." "Meanwhile, the growing responsiveness of the Upper Chamber to the wishes of the people, keeping step with the movement to take Senatorial elections down closer to the people, strongly suggests that the new plan will be beneficial." Says the Pittsburg Dispatch : "The Senatorial question that has four times defeated the movement for popular election will soon be face to face with the fact that it has been accomplished anyhow. Thirteen states have nominated United States Senators by popular vote this year Alabama, where they have even gone to the trouble of nominating alternates in case Pettus or Morgan should die; Arkansas, where Jeff Davis' victory can hardly be cited as an argument for popular election; Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. In addition to these the conventions of both parties have declared for the principle in Iowa and Wisconsin and in a modified form in Idaho. If the movement continues to grow as it has in the present year the Senate may find itself reversed through the infusion of new blood gained through the adoption of this measure of getting around the Senatorial veto." The Sacramento Bee thinks that the popular choice of Senators are chosen by the direct primary, while in New Jersey and doubtless other states campaigns for the Senatorship will be so active that most of the legislative candidates will make pledges upon the Senatorship part of their individual platforms. It is not at all visionary to expect, with the laws already enacted and with the campaigns now going on for the direct primary in states like Iowa, Washington, South Dakota and Maryland, that within the next ten years, before any popular election amendment could probably be passed, a full half of the Senate will virtually be chosen by the people in one or the other of the ways here described. "One singular fact about the spread of this reform in the North has been its adoption by state after state practically before it has been tested. La Follette's proposal to have United States Senators nominated in the primary was criticised as dangerous and almost revolutionary no longer ago than 1902. The direct primary is indeed a splendid example of the way in which an idea can prevail in this country in purely theoretical grounds." October 12, 1906 [Name] KENNETH MACKINTOSH Republican Candidate for Prosecuting Attorney for King County. BUNCH OF KING COUNTY BEAUTIES. The first gun of the campaign in King county will be fired Monday, October 15th, at the Armory hall and Hon. Wesley L. Jones will be the principal speaker. This being the storm center of organized labor, it is Mr. Jones' purpose to hand Mr. Gompers a bunch that will prove convincing to all fair-minded voters among even organized laborers. ExMayor R. A. Ballinger will also speak after Mr. Jones will have finished. Mr. Jones does not mince at words in this Gompers controversy, and he will make his speech and state his attitude regardless of future results. The Seattle Republican herewith presents its readers with a group of Republican candidates, who will be elected to succeed themselves. This is said advisedly as the Democrats have made such a miserable showing. Prosecuting Attorney Kenneth Mackintosh has [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. OTTO A.

[Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. LOU C. SMITH Republican Candidate for Sheriff King County. made a most excellent official and merits the vote of every man in King county. Sheriff L. C. Smith rests on the brilliant official record he has made since he took the office, knowing full well he will be almost without opposition at the polls. Prof. Thomas P. Storey, as superintendent of schools, has done so well that the Democrats themselves refused to nominate an opponent to him. He, therefore, is the same as "dar now." Matt H. Gormley has made an able and painstaking official and on the strength of his record he was renominated and will likewise be re-elected. Otto A. Case is one of the very popular officials of King county, as will be shown at the polls in November. The above group of Republican candidates will hardly realize they have any opponents either before or after the next general election. [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit.] MATT H.

Mrs. Hassell gave a very pleasant party to a number of young people on Friday evening in honor of her daughter, Miss Amelia Black's birthday. Charles Curry, the teamster, is now a Seattle property owner, he having bought two lots in Southeast Seattle this week. Mr. Curry will build at once. Mr.J. N. Drake, of 617 26th street, who has been at Nome for some months returned to the city Saturday for a brief visit with his family, and left Wednesday for the North where he will spend the winter. Mr. Drake reports everything as prosperous at Nome. The Great Eastern Clothing stock, 1321-23 Second avenue, has been bought by Rhodes Bros., and is being closed at 25 to 75 per cent. less than regular prices; $18.00 to $22.50 suits for $10.00. The big sale is now on. Visit it and save money. I. M. Sallee, one of the best known and most popular miners of Roslyn, died suddenly at his home in that city on Thursday, Oct. 4th. Mr. Sallee has been in the employ of the company for a number of years as stationary engineer. He was a prominent member of the Masonic lodge and the Methodist church. He leaves a widow and two children. J. C. Mathews, a first-class fireman on the U. S. Cruiser Boston, was unlawfully arrested and mercilessly beaten by two police officers last Tuesday morning. When tried he was acquitted; the evidence pointed to malicious prosecution on the part of the arresting officers, and, through his attorney, J. E. Hawkins, Mr. Mathews will call the attention of the civil service board to the matter. Mr. R. G. Woods and J. R. Quander spent a day sight-seeing in our city this week, as the guests of Mr. C. C. Hancock. Mr. Woods and Mr. Quander are employees of the Insular government of the Philippines and are home on a vacation. They visited many places in Japan enroute and are greatly impressed with the push and energy displayed by the Japanese. But most of all they are surprised at the rapid advancement of this city. Capt. Wood was in the 49th Vol. Inft. and is now with the constabulary of Manilla. Mr. Quander is a stenographer in the navy department at Manilla. They will retnrn to the Island in February. The Forum will meet next Sunday, October 14th, to make plans for its winter work. Much good can be accomplished by the Forum if those interested will put their shoulders to the wheel and help to push it along. There is nothing either selfish or sinister in the motives of those endeavoring to make it a success, and other folk are doing the very same thing only under different names among themselves. However little good an organization like the Forum may do its that much toward the goal of success and using the street parlance, "every little bit helps." He who THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is ready to criticise everything that the other fellow does and attributes evil and selfish motives to everything that some one else undertakes is wrong himself at heart. A few days ago a minister of the gospel, who is supposed to turn the other cheek, if smote on the one, denounced in the columns of his paper the feeble efforts of the Forum and yet that same man is supposed to stand in the gateway and teach Christ and Him crucified alike to the saint and the sinner. Say a good word for every meritorious undertaking whether you agree with the leader thereof or not. Twelve determined workers will assure success. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches. Low rates. Private offices and all business strictly confidential. American Watch and Jewelry Co., 908 First Avenue, opp. Rainier Grand Hotel. "THE HOLY CITY." The grand play at the Seattle Theater this week is conspicious for sagacious management and for the success of their companies presenting Luella Morey, Le Comte and Flesher have with this season's production excelled in the theatrical endeavor. In this great Biblical drama, "The Holy City," there is combined such wealth of acting, allegory, music and spectacle, as has rarely if ever been seen. The possibilities for dramatic effect with which the thrilling narrative of John the Baptist abounds, have been utilized with great skill and apparently unlimited cost. The acting company is noted for its integral brilliancy; the scenes present history in radiant splendor; the stage paraphernalia, all of which is carried by the company, being of impressive beauty. The integrity of its management first called public attention to the play; its matchless performances are carrying those endorsements which honesty of purpose and skilled design command. The presentation of "The Holy City" here, will be eagerly anticipated, in as much as the well-known and intensely artistic Luella Morey heads the company and will be seen as "Salome," the beautiful daughter of King Herod. A GREAT PRODUCTION. Without doubt, Elmer Walters' production of "A Millionaire Tramp" is one of the most elaborate ever given to any city of its class. The first act shows a typical depot, with its trunks, moving trains, loafers and other characteristic equipment; the second act the Church of the Holy Cross, one of the handsomest church settings ever made. The third act shows the exterior also the interior of a country opera house, with the curtain up and the performance in progress; a very unique and thrilling effect; the last act is the interior of a country tavern with its grandfather's clock, old fashioned fire-place, and quaint trappings of a past itself that must not be overlooked as it is positively the strongest of its kind in the dramatic field. A strong story with an abundance of comedy and the most beautiful finale ever given to a play. "The Millionaire Tramp" will appear at the Seattle Theatre Sunday, October 14th, opening with a matinee. "Queen of the Highway," at the Third Avenue Theater, is attracting larger audiences this week than any other play, without exception that has been there since last season. The cast is better than ever before. Viola Keene plays a capital Bell Diamond, and the actor who plays Mad Rowley displays commendable intelligence for not overacting. Laurette Taylor, as Jess Miller, is both natural and easy in the part, and the character stands out in the midst of a splendid cast. "Queen of the Highway" continues all week with a Saturday matinee, at which a souvenir picture of Laurette Taylor will be given to every lady and child attending, and each week hereafter a portrait of one of the actresses of the company will be given away until a portfoilio is completed. Next week, at the Third Avenue Theater, the Taylor Company will be seen in Owen Davis' splendid romantic drama, "The Lighthouse By The Sea." The play is entirely away from the line of melodrama recently given at the Third Avenue Theater; it is more on the lines of that splendid play, "Hearts of Oak," or "Shore Acres." It deals with people who inhabit the sea coast and affords splendid opportunities for character acting. The Taylor Company has no peer in this line any where on the Pacific Coast. People on the stage try to act natural, but if they do, they rapidly become automatons and their performances are only enjoyed by themselves,—they bore the auditor. The Taylor Company are much less self-conscientious than any other we know, and they enter into the spirit of the play with a zest, that is refreshing,—this is why they are popular and likely to remain big favorites, which they now are.
