Seattle in 1909, as a catch line is begining to show up in many conspicuous places. What's the matter with SEATTLE ALL THE TIME? That Dago, whose cause the Times is espousing, ought to feel very thankful that Brewster or some other official did not get his neck much less his gun, the Blethen tribe to the contrary notwithstanding. And now the Guatamalian government desires to be annexed to the United States. First and last the entire Central and South American countries will all be under the protecting folds of the Monroe doctrine. Tillmanites have begun to dynamite the Negro colleges in South Carolina, in order to prevent Negroes from being further educated. What the whites of South Carolina lack of being canibals is so little that even they are not able to tell. "A square deal for the horse," says an exchange. From the looks of the most of the horses in harness in this part of the moral vinyard, it strikes us, a square meal would be far more appetizing for the horse. In discussing the local political situation the Tribune, of Port Angeles, says, "Let's not lose a man." That's good talk for the Republicans of King county, but it would be well to add, "lets lose every would-be-man." The crown prince and princess of Germany and their infant son are taking up a good deal of newspaper space just now, and yet we see no more reason for them so doing than there would be for a peasant, his wife and infant son. John D. Rockefeller has let $25,000 slip through the bung of the Standard oil barrel, which is to go toward erecting a Y. SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON OCTOBER 19, 1906. M. C. A. building in Washington City for Negroes, providing a like sum be raised. Now for a slight increase in your oil bill. In expressing itself politically last Sunday the Times left itself high and dry without party or principle. But as to the latter the Times never had enough of it to be discovered even under the most powerful magnifying glass. Editor Miller Freeman was accused a few years ago by his father of having no regard for other folk's feelings. There must have been some truth in the allegation as young Freeman took unto himself a wife one day this week. "Don't imitate, be genuine," says an exhorter. We would suggest, imitate, but improve on the original. If there had never been any imitation there would never have been any improvement over the methods in vogue when Noah left the ark. The Spokesman-Review's cartoon showing Ben Tillman, the red-handed anarchist of South Carolina, with a flaming torch meeting Booker T. Washington, the noted educator and pacifier, with an engine hose throwing water on his fiery efforts, is most appropo to the present situation in the South. Rev. Sam P. Jones, the noted evangelist, may not be able to say through either the pulpit or press, "I told you so," as to his "hereafter" teachings, but he himself now knows the real situation as he died last Monday evening. However he practiced what he preached, he is now "safe in the arms of Jesus." One, J. P. Redding, of Spokane, is under arrest there charged with having obtained money under false pretense, having been accused of selling large blocks of mining stock of no intrinsic value. Well if everyone in this state that is selling mining stock of no value should be arrested the Idaho bull pen idea would have to be adopted by our authorities to safeguard the army of prisoners. Speaking about President Roosevelt and the so-called third term, Charles H. Grosvenor, of Ohio, expressed himself as follows: "No man who has been elected to the office of president has a moral right to refuse a re-election if the people demadn APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. it and the argument here made extends that situation forward so long as the demand of the people continues." The Buckeye Boss must have had dreams of seeing of Bryan in the White House, and realizing that Teddy is the only one who can prevent his dreams from becoming a stern reality he thus explodes himself. AN ERATIC EVANGELIST DEAD. Sam Jones, the evangelist, is dead, and his demise removes from this old world one of the most eratic pulpit orators since Lorenzy Dow tooted his ram's horn to call multitudes together to convert them to the cause of Christ and Him crucified. He was a Southeirner by birth, but in his religious teachings he differed so widely from the true Southern white man that he was looked upon by a great many of them as a black sheep to the idea common to that section of the country. His preaching was straight from the shoulder, and he was not troubled as to whom his words hit. He scored the white man, and if the black man showed demonstrative approval, he scored him even worse. He roasted the Democratic party, and if aplauded by the Republicans, he would quickly retort, "but I was never low enough down to be a Republican." During his palmy days he drew crowds like unto that assemble to listen to Lorenzy Dow, and perhaps as large as those that assembled to hear the Lord Jesus Christ himself when He was on earth. His latter years, however, were not so turbulent as when he first started out on his mission of saving sinners, but even they were turbulent enough. Sam Jones and Sam Small of Georgia for a number of years had the sinners where the hair was short, and they did not fail to pull it good and hard. Where is General Shafer and his hammock?—The Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. The Cuban insurrectionists don't relish telling their troubles to the marines.—Baltimore Sun. "Is Cuba Americanized?" asks an exchange. Yes—South-Americanized.—The Rochester Post-Express. Meantime Spain retires behind a morning newspaper and makes a noise like a giggle.—The Richmond Times-Dispatch. We can not very well hold that election frauds prove the inability of the Cubans to govern themselves.—The Dallas News. Cuba will never succeed in governing itself as long as its other name for minority is revolution.—The St. Louis Globe-Democrat. If Cuban independence is to meet its Waterloo, Secretary Bonaparte ought to be on the spot when it happens.—The Atlanta Journal. 1. SOME CUBAN SNAP-SHOTS The Passing Throng. Former United States Senator Burton, of Kansas, who has been twice convicted of accepting a fee from a private concern while he was serving as United States Senator, having been informed that the higher court refused to reverse the lower court's decision in his case has notified his attorneys he is ready to begin serving his six month's sentence in the St. Louis county jail, and thus endeth the public career of one of the most brilliant young men ever produced in the West. Senator Burton is probably guilty of no more than hundreds of other United States Senators, but he got caught, and o course all of the others guilty of a similar offense, were the very first to point the finger of scorn at him. The mercenary age in which we live is liable to lead the best of men from the straight and narrow path just as was Senator Burton. The American people are money mad and they will stop at nothing to get the money. Under the cloak of business transactions there is nothing too low, mean and contemptible for the business man to do if it means a good big roll for himself, and Americanism is but another name for Commercialism. Taik about sending American missionaries to China and Japan there is more need of missionaries from China and Japan to America, than from America to those places. Convict Burton in his cell is a no worse criminal than millions of others, who pose as influential business men. Black and White in Atlanta. At the time of the Atlanta race riot it was alleged that thirteen white women had been assaulted by Negroes within two months. Investigation showed that there had been three actual assaults, four attempts to assault and six cases of hysterics brought on by the suspicion that Negro loafers might have such designs. The Atlanta mob killed fifteen Negroes, three of them vicious characters, the others as respectable as ordinary white men. Who dares to talk of fair play with a showing like this? Now the grand jury has returned sixty indictments against Negroes charged with complicity in the killing of a white policeman, and sixteen other indictments, of which some are supposed to be against white rioters. Does this not actually erect rank injustice and race discrimination into a fundamental principle of government? Last Wednesday the Atlanta Constitution preached a two column sermon on the need of sending missionaries among the blacks to make them good. It would do well now to preach a whole page sermon to the whites on the need of maintaining the individual rights of individual citizens, white or black, before the law.—Chicago Record-Herald. In a bulletin recently issued by the census bureau the per capita debt of the United states is thus summarized: 1902 1890 1880 1870 Total..... $35.49 $32.39 $60.66 $82.99 Nation..... 11.77 14.22 38.37 60.45 States..... 2.98 3.38 5.48 9.15 Counties..... 2.50 2.32 2.47 4.87 Cities, towns, etc.. 18.24 12.47 14.44 8.51 From which it appears that while national and state debts are decreasing, those of cities are climbing up at a fast rate. This may be taken as reflecting the strong urban drift of population and the expensive undertakings forced upon the people for their health and comfort.—Ex. Pensions Ebbing. The pension roll, which swelled for so many years and then remained stationary for so many more, seems to at last taken definitely the downward turn. The annual report just issued shows that at the end of the fiscal year 1906 there were 985,971 names on the list, a decrease of 12,470 in twelve months. There never have been a million pensioners on the roll at the date of making the final reports for any fiscal year, but that number was exceeded on July 31, 1902, when there were 1,001,494 pensioners, and in nine months of the fiscal years 1904-1905. Our high water mark was reached on January 31, 1905, when our army of pensioners numbered 1,004,196—about twenty times the number of our present army of soldiers in active service. In 1886 we had 126,722 pensioners. This number grew until 1877, when there were 232,104. It was about that time that Garfield said that the roll had reached its maximum, and would gradually decline. For a moment the prediction seemed to be justified. It fell off in 1878 to 223,998. But Congress took a hand and began passing new laws and stretching old ones. In 1879 there were 242,753 persons drawing pensions. From that time the course was steadily upward. As the number of living veterans declined, the number of people on the payrolls increased. In 1880 for the first time it passed a quarter of a million. In 1882 it went above a third of a million. In 1890 it left the half million mark behind. In 1891 it surpassed two-thirds of a million. The next year it jumped beyond seven eighths, and the year following beyond nineteen-twentieths of a million. For the past fourteen years the pension roll, as as recorded at the end of each year, has held from 996,000 to a million names. For the eight years from 1897 to 1905 inclusive it was almost stationary between 991,000 and a million. Now for the first time it has experienced a substantial decline, The reduction by 12,470 names is the greatest in any year since the Civil War. The decrease in the number of pensioners is not yet reflected in any extent in the expense account. The annual value of the roll in 1906 was $136,237749. which was only half a million less than in 1905. This is accounted for by the fact that as the pensioners grow older they become entitled to higher rates. There is no chance of much further increase, however, for even a general service pension law would hardly put many new names on the roll. But the cost of pensioning the comparatively small class of veterans and their dependents gives us an inkling of the budget we might expect to carry if we adopted the plan of old age civilian pensions for everybody.—Colliers.

Hawkins, the Sunnyside farmer, raised 25 tons of hops this year from 18 acres, six acres of which was first year. His crop is estimated to be worth $25,000. Howel college at Seneca, S. C., was blown up by dynamite on October 12. The whites became angry at the principal and took this method of venting their spleen. J. Max Barber, editor of "The Voice of the Negro," the magazine which was formerly published at Atlanta, Ga., has decided to issue that paper from Chicago in the future. At the meeting of the National Afro-American Council held in New York last week it was decided to organize a Clearing House for the Negro banks. They are determined to prevent any failures. James Kelly, of Idaho Springs, was killed by a freight train at Yakima City on Oct. 12. Kelly and Frank Lane were beating their way on the train, when the brakeman kicked Kelly from the train and he was killed. The brakeman has been arrested charged with murder. ```markdown ``` Livingstone college of Salisbury, N.

G. lodges, 39; district households, 26; total number of branches, 8.155; total number of members in all branches, 285,931. Jim Washington, an old Negro who was born and raised on a plantation in Missouri, has invented and obtained a patent on an improved cotton baling press. It is claimed by those who have examined the invention that it will revolutionize the present method of handling cotton. Instead of having to treat cotton to the processes of ginning and compressing, as now, ginning and bailing will be done at one time. Cotton men are much interested in the invention. --- October 19, 1906 The 26th annual meeting of the Grand Fountain of True Reformers which met at Richmond, Va., was composed of 1100 delegates from thirty-six states. The financial report showed the order to be in a most prosperous condition as is seen by the following: The order has a membership of nearly 70,000; it has paid death benefits to the amount of $1,281,794; 9,000 members have been buried; its membership increased 24,663 in the last year. The dividends from their several banks this year amounted to $14,500. The Sunday Forum The Forum met last Sunday and made plans for its winter work. There were present quite a number of reliable men and women, who pledged themselves to not only be present at each and every meeting, but who further pledged themselves to guarantee the expenses of the organization. A committee consisting of B. F. Tutt, I. I. Walker, I. F. Norris and the president were appointed to draft a set of rules and regulations for the organization, which committee having met last Wednesday evening at the residence of Mr. Norris, 535 Federal Ave., and will make its report next Sunday, it having been decided to hold a meeting of the Forum next Sunday, Oct. 21st, for the purpose of adopting the rules. John T. Gayton-I am no less enthusiastic over the success of the Forum now than I was last season and I feel that even a few of us can make it a brilliant success by putting our shoulders to the wheel and pushing it along. I am ready to do my part all down the line. Henry Gregg—I heartily agree with the president in saying that if twelve men would decide to meet regular and all do their duty, splendid results would soon be apparent. I know the Fornm has done good work in the past and I want to see the good work continue. You have my hearty co-operation and I will be here at each and every meeting. Our success is due not only to getting together, but in talking things over in an organization like this. W. L. Presto-I have been a member of every organization that has been effected in this city since I have lived here with the bare exception of the Society of the Hawks and was so because I have always believed that some day some of these organizations would strike the key note and be o much general good to the black folk of the city. In my opinion the Sunday Forum is the one and I propose to stand by it and do all within my power to help it along. Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton—Those of us who attended the Forum last season feel that we were greatly benefitted by its meetings. No one can s through such meetings as we had last spring without being greatly benefitted from what is said. We each get a certain amount of enthusiasm from what the other one says and we go away the better for having been here. It is exceedingly pleasant to see the leading men of the city coming into this hall to consult together for the good of the race and he or she who does not come is the worse for not doing so. I sometimes wish that I were seven or eight men that I could be present at all of such meetings and help enthuse the race along better lines. B. A. Day-I have always been active in organizations of the nature of the Forum and am willing to do my part to make this one a success. We need some kind of an organization whereby we may meet and get acquainted with each other. Strangers are at a loss to find some way of getting asquanted with anyone when they come to town, and if we can invite them to the Forum they will meet the property THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN owners as well as those of us who are doing business in the city and if the Forum accomplishes no more, that will be a world of help to our people. Write me down among those that will be here each and every Sunday. Richard West—I have listened intently to what the various speakers have said about the success of the Forum and it sounds good to me and I want to be one of the number that will be on hand at each and every meeting with the hope of making it a success. I fully agree with the president that twelve persons with the avowed purpose of making it a success will accomplish wonders in the course of time. I. I. Walker—What I have heard about the Forum and what I have heard said here today as to its future plans, quite convinces me that it is the very thing that is badly needed in the city and I am for it heart and soul, and to show you that I am, I hereby pledge myself not only to be present at its meetings, but to contribute one dollar per month toward paying for the hall rent. C. H. Harvey—While in the past I took no part in work of the Forum, yet I fully realized it was a good cause and I have decided to do all in my power in making its winter work a success. I will not only make special efforts to be present at its meetings, but will do all in my power to induce as many others as I can to be present. I. F. Norris—Let critics speak as they will or may it is our duty to push on as though they had commended our work. We can make the organization a splendid success and I am for it with all my heart. B. F. Tutt—I am with you and will be one of the twelve men who will assume the responsibility of standing by the organization financially and otherwise to assure success. R. A. Clark—There are many ways in which the Forum can be of service to our folk in the city and if we will make it a success it will serve well the purpose we have planned for it. I am like I was last spring; I am for its success, and will give whatever time and talent I have to make it so. Let each and every one consider ourselves a committee of one to solicit others to become members of the Forum and take some of the burden on their shoulders. Inland Empire Progress. History is making so rapidly in the Pacific Northwest that an article written a year ago descriptive of a given locality in the Inland Empire, would, if published today, convey an altogether erroneous idea and subject its author to merited criticism. The improvement has been so marked that old-timers can hardly realize the wonderful transformation that has taken place in so short a time. Towns that were simply prospects or "towns on paper" a year or two ago are now thriving trading points in prosperous communities. They have newspapers, schools and churches, with stores that are larger and better stocked than can be found in some eastern cities of many times the size. The steam and electric railway lines, contemplated and in course of construction, are assisting wonderfully in the upbuilding of the Pacific Northwest, and there is reason to believe that many years of genuine prosperity are ahead of this favored portion of the United States. The natural resources of the country are becoming better known and are attracting thousands of good citizens who are sick and tired of the extremes of heat and cold and the devastating storms of the East. The fact that everyone who visits this country becomes a "booster" has also had much to do with its rapid development. It is really remarkable, in view of the numerous townsite and other promotions of magni- tude which have been floated within the last few years that absolutely no failures have been recorded among these enterprises. Nature has been lavish in her endowment. The men who have assumed the role of city builders have possessed a happy combination of character and business ability and it is presumed that those who follow will emulate them.

E. church promises to be a most enjoyable affair. Gloria, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Taylor, has been very sick for a week but is now much improved. Geo. W. Chivis, publisher of R. R. Porter's and Waiter's magazine, spent several days in the city this week. Mr. Chivis was accompanied by his wife. Mrs. Allen, mother of Mr. G. O. Allen, left Tuesday evening for her home in Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. Allen had enjoyed an extended visit in our city. Miss Barbara Davis returned Monday from a two week's visit to Spokane, where she was the guest of Miss Hellen Stafford. Miss Davis was most royally entertained. The first quarterly conference of this conference year will be held at the 14th street A. M. E. church on Sunday and Monday next. Rev. S. J. Collins will preside. Mrs. Richard Davis gave a very pleasant luncheon to a number of friends on Monday evening.. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Drake, Mrs. Hettie Jones, of Van Couver; and Mr. Williams, of Nome. Mr. Will Henderson, who has been at Dawson, Y. T., for two years, returned Friday and will immediately go into business here and make this his home in the future. Mr. Henderson is much improved both in health and finance. Mr. Warner Shelton, of Louisa, Va., is visiting this city on business. Mr. Shelton is one of the prominent farmers of his section. While he is greatly pleased at the progress our race is making in the West, he thinks his farm is good enough for him. The Trojen Whist Club held its regular weekly meeting at the residence of the chairman, Mr. B. F. Tutt. The inclement weather made the attendance small, but those present had a delightful time. Rev. F. L. Donohoo, pastor A. M. E. church, preached a most practical and instructive sermon last Sunday, and if the congregation would follow the advice given therein much and lasting good to the race would be accomplished. The recent realty excitement on Twelfth and Pine brought fortune to at least two Afro-Americans, Mr. Z. L. Woodson, and Mrs. Williams. The former could sell for not less than $25,000, while the latter could dispose of holdings at $7,000. Mrs. W. M. Wylie entertained a few friends at luncheon Wednesday evening. Those present were, Rev. and Mrs. F. L. Donohoo, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Chivis, Mr. and Mrs. W. Taylor, Miss M. Wylie, and I. Israel Walker. The luncheon was in honor of Mrs. Chivis.

E. church, died at his home at Wilberforce University on Oct. 7. Bishop Arnett was born at Brownsville, Pa., March 6th, 1838; was elected to the Bishopric in 1888; he was the church historian for eight years; he was a member of the legislature of Ohio in 1386-7, and chaplain of the national Republican convention at St. Louis in 1896. He was a teacher, a statesman and orator of whom the race should be very proud. Next week, starting Sunday afternoon, the beautiful Southern drama, "The White Caps," will be the play at the Third Avenue Theater. The Taylor company will be augmented next week by the first appearance of Mr. Frank H. Daniel who plays the sheriff in "The White Caps," and Mr. Harry B, Cleveland will appear as the leader of "The White Caps." All the old members, with one exception, will appear in the cast. Laurette Taylor, Viola Keene, W. L. Raynor, and every member of the company has a congenial part next week. The Third Avenue Theater turned away enough people Sunpay to fill any two theaters in town.
