Russell does not fall very far short of being a female enigma. If Gompers don't hurry Yakima Jones will get his work in before he gets here. Real estate is changing hands in Seattle just now about as rapidly as umbrellas. We rise to suggest the name of Dr. Annie K. Russell as the first president of the Woman's Club House. Women's Clubs may be all right, but if there were more women's baby cribs, there would be less use for women's clubs. In daily paper circles in this city Republicanism seems to be much in disfavor. The P. I. is not interested, the Times wants the dough, the Star is cussed and the News is crazy. Had the board of equalization ordered "chicken" at the same time it did watermellon and ice cream there would have been some doubt as to the real nationality of the members thereof. Rainier valley does not seem to be making much headway in getting into Seattle. If Ballard would make a hundredth part as much effort to get in Seattle as the Rainier valley she would soon find a way to do it. Matt Piles has only been in the state three years and is almost at the head of the Republican party. If he continues to forge ahead by the time he has been in the state three years more he will own the whole party. From the amount of editorial space the P. I. is devoting to Billy Hearst, the Dem SEATTLLE. WASHINGTON OCTOBER 26. 1906. cratic gubernatorial candidate of New York, one would suppose that it feared the annexation of the state of Washington to the state of New York in case Hearst was elected. The many friends of J. M. Frink were pleased beyond expression to learn that he had donated to the city twenty acres of land overlooking Lake Washington easily worth $75,000 for park purposes, not so much because he had given the city that amount, because from a financial standpoint he is amply able to do so, but because he has demonstrated what they have so often advocated, J. M. Frink was one of [Image of a man with a white beard and a black suit, bow tie, and a white shirt. The background is a solid black oval.]] J. M. FRINK. the grand old men of Seattle in particular and the state of Washington in general. While Mr. Frink is far from being an enthusiast over anybody or anything, yet he is a public spirited man who does things and does them without the blare of a trumpet to announce in advance that he is going to do so. Olmstead wants Seattle to expend $3,000,000 for more parks and play grounds. Mr. Olmstead's "eyas are bigger than his belly," and he talks as though Seattle had a mine of fabulous and inexhaustible wealth from which she can take out a few millions at any old time that some excitable enthusiast discovers some new fad for her to purchase. The colored clergymen of Philadelphia made such a protest against the Clansman being presented in one of the opera houses of that city that, the mayor saw to it that its week's engagement was cut down to a one night's performance, and even at that APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. a riot was narrowly averted. Ethiopia stretch forth thy hand and perhaps after all there will come a day when there will be something doing. That both Hearst and Hughes are on the firing line in the New York battle of ballots is very evident from the activity of the cartoonist as well as the paragraphers. "Those convicts released from the penitentiary" seem to be as ready and willing to lie as the Evening Swill-barrel is to publish them, and so between the Swill-barrel and the convicts it appears to be The case of the two policemen who were accused of maltreating J. C. Mathews came up before the civil service board Monday evening. The case wos stubbornly fought on both sides. The commission will render its decision later. Day by day the Evening Swill-barrel's black list is growing and now A. Frank Keeys, ex-warden of the state penitentiary, like judge Frater and City Engineer Thomson is being abused like a pickpocket by that blatant-mouthed bovine who directs its destinies. Judging from its recent anti-election report civic unionism and indefiniteism are syonomous. If any voter can form any idea as to whom to vote for from the recent report of the Civic Union, then said voter can read between the lines to a greater extent than will the average voter even try to do. There is no doubt of the fact that the white children of the South are being sadly neglected in an educational way and for that matter always have been save among the more wealthy, which fact accounts for the "po' whit' trash" element there, and among them all of the race riots germinate. Office rooms, the various sky-scrapers to the contrary, notwithstanding, are still the very much perplexing question in Seattle, and he or she who is so fortunate as to get one is compelled to pay so much for the same that, it looks more like buying the entire building on the installment plan than merely renting a room month by month. --- London Spectator:—When will the Southern whites learn that the proper way to protect their women is to organize a really efficient police, and to punish crimes against them with prompt judicial severity, instead of killing in a foolish panic of rage men who possibly are entirely innocent? We sympathize with the whites in their horror at the thought of what defenceless women may have to endure from black criminals, but we must protest against the folly and crime of the methods of protection which they adopt. The Pall Mall Gazette:—Expresses its sympathy with "the innocent Negro who stands a considerably better chance of being butchered than a guilty one," and adds that "It will not be surprising if the Czar, the Sultan and King Leopold should be found presenting a joint note at Washington upon the social condition of darkest Georgia." While the London Tribune thinks that the North ought to force the South to recognize the Negro's rights as a human being, it observes that "these massacrees may perhaps suggest reflections to the imperialists in New York who concieve it to be their maniest destiny to govern the happy Negro population of Cuba." London Daily Chronicle:—"Reparation is impossible, and even Liberia is a comic opera state. We can see no real solution, nor have we heard any suggested. Apparently the two races will go on living side by side in veiled or open hostility. But so long as the Negroes are dependent on the more powerful race, so long as they are forcibly excluded from all the privileges of self government, it is the simple duty of the States to protect its black subjects equally with the rest." * * * EQUAL LAW IN THE SOUTH. (Walla Walla Statesman, Democratic.) Senator Tillman's advocacy of a passport system for keeping track of the idle and vicious classes in the South would not be so bad if Senator Tillman proposed an equitable law for the punishment of vagrancy. The South is hampered to an immense extent in its material development by the loafer. But he is not always black. The down-at-the-heel white individual meets you at every turn in Dixie, and if it were proposed to put him on the rock pile along with the no account Negro there would be no complaint. But this is not the purpose. It cannot be the purpose because there is an essential difference between the black and the white loafer. The latter, thanks to the fact that his grandfather was a decent citizen, has the ballot, and so long as he has that there will be no labor on the roads for him. The South, if it persists in discriminating between white and black in the enforcement of the laws, cannot expect any permanent settlement of the race question. If the South has any leaders, out of politics preferably, whose voices can be heard, now is the time to raise them in a plea for ordinary justice. When that is heard a beginning will have been made toward the settlement of the race question. It is unfortunate for the country that men like Vardaman are able to make their voices heard. They are striving to their utmost to undo and make of no effect the wide spread efforts of some of the best men in the land to educate and elevate the Negro, making of him a man instead of a bruto. The success which has attended these praiseworthy efforts has been made indisputably apparent, and though con- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ditions in the South are still lamentably dark it would be a national mistake to look on them as hopeless. If the race issue does in the near future attain the serious proportions predicted by Vardaman and Tillman it will be because of the stirring up of the elements of strife by these leaders of the hostile whites. Introduction of a comparison of the status of Negroes, Indians, Chinamen and Malays does not strengthen Governor Vardaman's argument. The Indian upon acceptance of conditions of citizenship is entitled to vote, but generally speaking the franchise is properly denied to those who cannot be considered as part of the American people. Even admitting that an injustice is done to these people if does not follow that like injustice should be done to the Negro. The worst features about language such as that indulged in by Governor Vardaman is that it tends to arouse the vindictive nature of the Negro and to intensify the very conditions which are so bitterly, and doubtless with some measure of truth denounced. Few people know that the great Amherst college has a Negro Professor, T. D. Newport, a Negro has for 17 years been in full control of athletics of that college. Cherry memorial Baptist church, of Philadelphia, Pa., was dedicated Oct. 10, and is one of the finest church edifices owned by our race. It cost $100,000. It has a seating capacity of 1800, with a membership of 1,400. The opening of the hotel Scott at Philadelphia, owned and controlled by Amos Scott, an Afro American, took place on Tuesday. The house is modern in all its appointments. Two colored girls in Clark county, Ohio, are the champion corn cutters of the state. Their names are Mary and Sarah Brooks. They have averaged $15 per day during the cutting season. Does Vardaman want Slavery? Familiarity with previous utterances by Governor Vardaman of Mississippi on the Negro question leaves no room for surprise at his advocacy of legislation that would deprive the Negro of the rights of citizenship. Needless to say that this revolutionary doctrine will never be adopted by Congress or the people of the nation. Because of the violent lawlessness of a portion of the Negro population it were a gross perversion of justice to say that every member of the colored race should be reduced to a condition little better than that which prevailed before the war which gave them their liberty. If Governor Vardaman's speech is read aright he would make the Negro a slave again. He does not hesitate to declare that the Negro is and should be considered "a mere chattel." If Governor Vardaman and Senator Tillman could have their way the days of slavery would be restored in enlightened America. Theatrical Notes. With the launching of the theatrical season of 1906-7, well-wishers for the success of Afro-Americans on the stage should be greatly encouraged so far as the actors are concerned. More large shows composed entirely of dark-skinned Thespians were put on the road this season than ever before in the history of theatricals. October 26 1906 The sum total of Afro-American shows doing business this season is six excluding many smaller companies. Of the above number two of the organizations are newcomers. They are Cole and Johnson and the Dandy Dixie Minstrels. Ernest Hogan, Williams and Walker, the Smart Set and Black Patti are the four large shows already in the field. Ernest Hogan and "Rufus Rastus" Company are enjoying much prosperity this season. Having first-class booking and carrying a good show, the company is not having much trouble playing to large houses wherever it goes. The critics are a unit in praising the musical numbers, especially the chorus work. Among those who assist materially are Abbie Mitchell, Sallie Byrd Green, Laura Moss, Henry Troy, Frank Brown, Herbert Sutton, Chas. Foster, Alice Mackie., George Harvey, the Housley Bros. and many others. Critics are very flattering in their praises of the comedy work of Ernest Hogan. Carita Day, who is being given the sobriquet of "Miss Beautiful," creditably fills the role of leading lady, as during last season. It will be gratifying to New Yorkers to learn that Al Johns is acting the role of Beasley, the head waiter, as if he had been a performer before this season. Up to date his work has been of high order. Many new songs have been interpolated in the piece this season, the lyrics of which were written by Lester A. Walton, a former St. Louis newspaper man now with the show and representing Mr. Hogan's business interests. Mr. Hogan composed all the music this season. Prof. H. Lawrence Freeman is musical director. One of the coming comedians in Afro-American stagedom is S. H. Dudley, leading comedian of the Smart Set Company. This season he opened with a new piece especially written for him called, "The Black Politician." It is "going big," to use the vernacular of the stage, and after a number of the situations are brightened and a number of the lines condensed—something necessary in most new plays—it will be a winner. John Rucker, the "Alabama Blossom"," is starring this season in the Dandy Dixie Minstrels, having parted company with Black Patti. He will do all the starring himself. The show is down South where it is drawing crowded houses. Cole and Johnson, that artistic team known in the United States and abroad for their song-writing as well as vaudeville act, have a large company on the road this seaaon. They are starring in a clever piece, teeming with pretty music, entitled, "The Shoo-Fly Regiment." In the book the writers have injected some serious lines involving the race question which call for no little exercise of dramatic ability on the part of some of the members of the cast. Cole and Johnson are under the management of Raymond. The company has been touring the South. Black Patti is on her annual successful tour in the South. John Larkins is doing her comedy this season. There is no doubt that the Black Patti company is a money maker, especially when in the South. It is certain, however, that if her managers would put more money out for scenery and costumes they would draw better in some sections of the country. While Williams and Walker and Ernest Hogan are doing all in their power to make their shows go from a scenic standpoint, very little attention is paid to such details by the Black Patti management. New York Age. October 29. 1906 There is a good, wholesome, well acted play at the Seattle theatre this week, and several clever acting dogs that are utilized in the play and fit into it admirably; but the author must have been hard pressed for a name, when he called it after the Swede character, which is not by any means the most prominent. But this does not detract from the interest of the play; it is merely misleading. Any young girl could learn a salutary lesson from the experiences of the heroine, and mothers could attend the performance with profit if they are overly ambitious regarding their marriageable daughter's future. It is not only a stage performance, but a very true picture of natural life in this mercenary, ambitious age of materialism. Next week the Seattle Theatre will have an attraction pretty sure to test the capacity of this theatre, not only on Sunday, when the engagement opens, but throughout the entire week. "As Told in the Hills" is the title of the play, and it is interpreted by such a company of clever people that success is an assured and foregone conclusion. Dorothy Grey heads the company as "Pamnena," a Kiowa Indian maiden. She is ably seconded by Duncan Penwordon, as "Lone Wolf," the Indian Chief; and Don A. McMillan, Chas. Del Vicho, and other well known actors have prominent parts in the cast. "As Told in the Hills" is the prettiest and most romantic Western drama that has ever left New York, according to the newspapers. AT THE THIRD AVENUE THEATER. Two new actors joined the Taylor Company last Sunday, replacing two retiring. It is no reflection on the retiring actors, who are both clever, when we say the change was an acceptable one. The new comers are playing a different line of characters from the retiring ones, and there is little roo mfor comparison; but the new comers "made good," and created an impression that will stand them well in the future. Physically and mentally they are better adapted to the two characters they portray in "The White Caps" than any of their predecessors have been. What is better, they have evidently experience enough back of thm to enable them to show originality in the conception of their parts; and the Taylor Company has been agreeably strengthened by the addition of the two new actors. "The White Caps" is a powerful and strenuous picture of life in the South today, and every line, scene and incident in the play is thrillingly interesting. The Taylor Company does the play justice. Laurette Taylor, appearing as Jackey Jones, the female detective, carries out her own ideas of the part, which she wrote herself. Next wek, starting Sunday afternoon, the Taylor Company will be still further augmented by the first appearance of Mr. Percy Hunting, an actor of well known reputation, who will be seen in the character of the Spaniard, in Mr. Chas. A. Taylor's famous melo-drama, "Held for Ransom," a play which takes the auditors from New York and Washington cities to Constantinople, and introduces a famous scene from the Sultan's harem; winding up the drama by the infusion of a real circus into it. Laurette Taylor appears as the Sultan's favorite, and Viola Keene plays the part of the American missionary, Helen Stone's niece—the play of which is based on the abduction of the American missionary by the Massidonian brigands. MORE OR LESS PUNGENT. Generous to a Fault.—Congressman Perkins was in the office of a friend, a justice of the peace, when a couple came in to be married. After the ceremony the justice accepted a modest fee, and handed the bride an umbrella as she went out. Mr. Perkins looked on gravely and asked, "Do you always do that, Charlie?" "Do what? Marry them? Oh, yes." "No; I mean bestow a present upon the bride." "A present? Why, wasn't that her umbrella?" gasped the justice. "No; it was mine," replied the Congressman, sadly.—Epworth Herald. Should Not Complain.—"You naughty child, where have you been? You have been fighting THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN again with Paul. Just look at your clothes! I'll have to buy you a new suit." "Don't you say anything, ma. You ought to see Paul. I think his mother will have to buy a new boy."—Translation from Le Rire for The Literary Digest. The Smith Family.—An old lady, traveling for the first time in a large city, saw a glaring sign on the front of a high building, which read, "The Smith Manufacturing Company." As she repeated it aloud slowly she remarked to her nephew: "Laws 'a' mercy! Well, I've heard tell of Smiths all my life, but I never knew before where they made 'em!"—Tid Bits (London). Maybe.—Miss Summergirl—“Can you float alone?” Mr. Financier (absently)—“I don't know. How large a loan do you mean?”—Pittsburg Dispatch. No Hurry—“All the little boys and girls who want to go to heaven,” said the Sunday school superintendent, “will please rise.” All rose but Tommy Twaddles. “And doesn't this little boy want to go to heaven?” “N-not vit!”—Cleveland Leader. At a Loss.—Ben Butler was a terror and torment to the judges. On one occasion Judge Sanger, having been bullied and badgered out of all patience, petulantly asked, "What does the counsel suppose I am on this bench for?" Scratching his head a minute, Butler replied, "Well, I confess your honor's got me there."—Argonaut. Latest Novelties in all kinds of Fur Capes in stock or made to order.

F. Kees from the superinten- dentship of the penitentiary and in the naming of Matt H. Piles to succee 1 M. F. Kin aid on the board of control, it occurs to the Pie-maker that Governor Mead is trying to crawl into the band wagon of Sena- tors Ankeny and Piles and the Congressional trium- virate. That the governor has hegun to do re-elec- tirn politics is plain to be seen, but is he not lock- ing the stable door after the horse has been stolen? ok Ever since the establishing of the state peniten- tiary at Walla Walla it has been the scene of politi- cal rows and brawls that have been more or less dis- graceful and very demoralizing. It was during the administration of Goveror McGraw that a warden committed suicide within the walls of the prison, ow- ing to the fact that, bis high-handed acts while warden were about to come to light. Under Gov. Rogers’ administration, Warden Catron had equally as stormy atime, and Gov. McBride’s appointtee was no improvement. Kees was appointed by Gov. Mead against the advice of the men who elected him governor, and Kees’ administration of the affairs of the penitentiary seem to have been the most shame- ful of them all. He was removed from office last Saturday and M. F. Kincaid of the board of control “was named as his successor, Kincaid is said to bo a splendid man on general principles, and better things may’be looked for from him. mee It is reported that R. F. Booth is to resign the position of deputy attorney general and that J. B. October 26, 1906 Alexander, of Seattle, is to succeed him, This is the same Alexander, be it remembered, who, as act- ing police judge of Seattle, fined a brute only twenty- five dollars for having forced a little colored boy, who was hopping bells in one of the local hetels, to commit an unmentionable crime on the person of the criminal brute, for a life sentence in the state prison should haye been imposed instead of a $25 fine. The Pie-maker does nat believe Attorney General Attkinson, who is known from one end of the state tothe other for his fairness, will appoint Mr. Alexander as one of his deputies after investi- gating the course he pursued in the above case. Any man guilty of such a crime is deserving of death, let alone states prison for life, even though his victim be but ‘‘a little nigger.” ae In the election of J. Will Lysons as secretary of the railaoad commission the members thereof did what they should have done when they elected Snowden to the place over Lysons. Snowden re signed a few days ago and Lysons was elected. Mr, Lysons is secretary of the state central committee and will not assume the duties of the office until af- ter the election, and Mr. Snowden will not surrender the office until Mr. Lysons is ready to retura. ..Pointed Paragraphs... Fast men seldom win the race. No man is greater than his smallest act. Many a sharp retort is made in blunt language. Necessity knows more law than a lot of lawyers. Invisible patches are not used in fixing up quarrels, Some men look upon religion a8 a sort of moral fire escape. When a man b-bolds his first baby boy his path in life looks souny. Don’t forget to laugh when your boss tells a joke with whiskers on it. Some men are’born poets, but most editors have poetry thrust upon them. And it sometimes happens that a rich bachelor makes a poor husband, Shouts of joy are apt to give the pessimist a headache. Common sense is an uncommon good thing to possess. A box of empty beer bottles is one kind of hope- less case. Mothers-in-law come in handy when the babies are sick. Men with money to burn keep their friends by not lending it to them. In a conflict between two women each struggles for the last word. A prayer that is long drawn out is apt to be narrow. Beauty in woman often covers a lack of domestic virtue. Most contributors to charity manage to be caught in the act, Most people get better obituary notices than they are entitled to. Bravery is reckoned by what we do, not by what we threaten to do. Put your business before pleasure, or by and by you wont have either. In the various walks of life some people have a walkover and others get walked on. —Chicago Daily News. October 26, 1906 ...The Fair of 1909... A ten million dollar fair three years from now that's what the city of Seattle, the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest is looking forward to. The start has been made, a wonderful start, by the raising of $650,000 in one day through the sale of stock in the Exposition corporation. October 4 was a gala day in Seattle, the biggest day the Washington metropolis ever had. It was known as "Subscription Day." The mayor, by proclamation, made it a holiday, and the slogan, "Everybody Helps," adopted by Will H. Parry, chairman of the ways and means committee, was made a reality. There was a constant flow of checks and gold up the elevators to the 15th story of the Alaska building, where the temporary headquarters of the Exposition have been established. The fair already gives promise of a scope yet unattained by Western enterprises. The name Alaska Yukon-Pacific-Exposition, contributes an idea of the general nature of the show. It will be primarily an Alaska fair, held to exploit to the world the resources of the little known Northland, and in this connection will be gathered the most remarkable mining display ever shown at a world's fair. The gold that made the country originally famous will be told of through specimens and photographs and machinery, and the other ores, more recently discovered, will have proper representation. And more important, the agricultural and industrial possibilities will be effectively exploited. Besides Alaska, the great Yukon country will contribute samples of its untold wealth, and the islands of the sea will show their marvels. One of the principal objects of the Exposition will be to bring together in trade the shores of the Pacific. With a population ten times as great as the United States, occupying a territory three times as large as Uncle Sam's domain, Asia and Oceanica produce enormous quantities of wares which Americans might use, while on the other hand, they need millions of dollars worth of goods made in America. To bring the two together, through the medium of exhibits, will be the object of the Seattle fair. State participation in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific- Exposition is already a certainty and the United States government is counted upon to put up a building or a series of buildings, and make a display worthy of the richness of the land. The Western states learned through the Lewis and Clark fair held last year, the advantages to be gained through generous participation in national exhibitions, and can be counted upon to make even better displays than those which helped make the 1905 show attractive. Oregon is certain to have a fine building, stuffed with products, and California, always a good show state, will be there. Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, and the other states, as well as the British possessions to the north will be adequately represented. With nearly three years remaining before the Exposition, the beginning of preparation has already been made. The Washington University grounds, comprising 355 acres, bordering on Lake Washington and Lake Union, have been chosen as a site, and landscape gardening will soon be begun. The site is situated twenty minutes ride from the center of the city, and is in every way adapted to its purpose. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name not provided] J. WILL LYSONS Secretary Republcan State Central Committee and Secretary Railroad Commission. The Passing Throng. One would suppose that after years of constant contact with civilized citizens in the North the Caucasian Southerner would show some signs of evoluting from his semi-barbaric state and assume to act like civilized folk, but evidently they do not. But a few days ago memorial services were held in the First Presbyterian church of this city in honor of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, the wife of the arch traitor of the great Civil War. If being responsible for the murder of a million human beings and the destruction of a billion dollars worth of property commends a man and his family to the public for mass memorial services then Jeff Davis and his family should be idolized throughout the United States for their greatness. Had Jeff Davis and his tribe lived in any other country and committed similar acts to those he did in this they would have been publicly burned at the stake and their ashes and memory held in the same state ofirespect as those of a Guitteau or a Czsholgosh. And even in this country no people save those that give to the world a Tillman, a Jeff Davis No. 2, and a Vardaman, would ever be guilty of so grave an offense. * * * Thirty more police officers have been asked for by the chief of police of Seattle. To the casual observer of the policemen while on duty it would seem that thirty less than Seattle now has, if they would do their whole duty, would accomplish as much or more than the whole force now does, to say nothing of an increase of thirty new officers. One can scarcely concieve a more wilful waste of the city's funds than the expenditure of $3,700 per month for thirty more policemen. What on earth are they wanted for anyway? as those already on the force have beaten all the Negroes to death that dare walk the streets when those "brass buttoned bulls," as says the P.-I., strut up and down the streets and no more naval ships are expected at Bremerton soon, on which are Negro sailors, who can be beaten up by the police when they get a leave of absence an come to the city and it is repeated, what can this extra police recruit be needed for? Of course gambling is no longer publicly licensed and the graft is so small that the taxpayer is puzzled to understand how thirty more policemen can earn their daily bread and butter at the business for, be it remembered, the $90 salary is a mere bagatelle toward their real salaries. Mrs. Catharine T. Maynard, wife of Dr. Maynard, the man who actually laid out and platted the townsite of Seattle, which now has over 200,000 inhabitants, was buried last Tuesday afternoon, she having died last Sunday evening. Dr. Maynard died some thirty odd years ago, and since his death for the most part Mrs. Maynard has been supported by charity of which the Proch family has borne the brunt. Other old pioneers assisted, but Proch's and the Haller's furnished the greater part of her needs, she living until the time of her death at the Haller home. Dr. Maynard once owned 320 of land in the present limits of Seattle, south of Yester Way, which was his homestead, one single lot of which is worth at present a quarter of a million dollars, and yet the man who homesteaded that land, Dr. Maynard, died without means and his widow who survived him for thirty or more years, watched that land increase in value until a one-thousandth part of it would have made her wealthy, but all those years she was without a dollar of her own. Talk about the irony of fate, but was it ever more severe on a human being and yet she was not to blame for the misfortune. Mrs. Maynard in her long years of loneliness had just reason to say with the poet: "Of alll sad words of tongue or pen the saddest are these, it might have been." * * * According to the Associated press dispaches one day this week two Negro girls in Ohio have been earning $15 per day there at cutting and shocking corn, and yet these girls, it is reported, are well educated, and this is the strangest part of the whole story. The wages they are earning are twice and three times more than the average wages earned by men for the same work, but if they were able to earn as much as the men even then they would be most splendid specimens of the real noble woman. Walla Walla's society belles that left their pianos and ping pong games to help their father in the harvest field find their equal in every respect in their colored sisters in Ohio. It is to be regretted that more of the educated colored girls do not return to the soil where splendid rewards always await their labors, instead of trying to battle against mountains of opposition in the shops and stores of the cities. A wife like one of these dusky maidens of Ohio, with a husband of equal determination to get there, would earn a fortune for themselves before they reached their forties and for the balance of their lives would be able to have servants come at their beck and call. On the other hand, the finicky city stenographer and her beer-guzzling dude husband, will have to work on and on until old age overtakes them and perhaps end their days in an almshouse. One should always strive to do what they seem most fitted to do. Dangerous Carelessness.—Two men were sentenced by a self-appointed court to be hanged for horse stealing. The place selected for the execution was the middle of a trestle bridge spanning a river. The first noose was insecurely tied and the prisoner dropped into the river. He swam to shore and made good his escape. As they were adjusting the rope for the remaining prisoner the latter drawled: "Say, pards, make sure of the knot this time, will yer? 'Cause I can't swim."—Everybody's. October 26, 1906 PERSONAL NOTES. Mrs. Belle Bennett has been seriously ill this week, and is little improved.

One-hundred or more persons were in attendance at the Forum last Sunday and a splendid meeting was the result New officers for the ensuing year were elected and a code of rules and regula- tions were adopted.

Logan thinks that the American people have about reached the end of the wild craze to get rich quick, to become millionaires. We think the craze has just begun. 1t has not cut its eye tooth as yet. It is still a consuming force in the life of the people of Europe and Asia, having begun when they were in a sav- age condition, and there are no signs that the end of it is approaching, The chase after great wealth, after enough money to be placed beyond the terrors of daily want, to have more money than the neighbor, began in the first glimmerings of our civilization, and will remain as long as the social conditions remain what they have grown to be out of the confusion of. un- restricted competition in the natural resources and in the necessities of man- kind. It is just now becoming obvious that unrestricted competition *must be re- strained by state regulation in the. in- terest of the weak against the strong, in the interest of the poor against the rich. Limitations upon great fortunes anda more equal distribution of the earnings of capital and labor are among the leading issues in this country and in Europe, to the utter subordination of most other questions. It will take a long time to readju-t matters upon a just basis. Go toa respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watch- es. Low rates.
