Senator Tom Platt is after all a gay old lothario while his wife does not seem to obje ct to a little fun on the side. Congress convenes next Monday and once agian the Capital City will be full and overflowing with natural gas. Fuel famine is the first of the general famine that it was predicted the country would be afflicted with this year. William Glenn Volva, the Zion leader who succeeded Dowie, is no less a dangerous demagogue than Dowie himself. If New York should experience a winter Thaw it will probably be a great surprise to that legal misfit better known as States Attorney Jerome. Looking for a room for an office is the cry of the hour in Seattle just now, and cry as meuh as one will or may still no office of any kind shows up. No one will hardly be arrested in connection with the Dix disaster for the real guilty one also met a watery grave, but an example should be made of some one somewhere down the line. Countess aCstelane is to return to America after having dropped $8,000,000 on an imitation "nobleman." That a fool and his money soon part the life of Anna Gould as a French royalist needs but to be referred to. Socialism talked raising teachers salaries for election purposes and forthwith the present board ordered a general raise in salaries in all the schools, and so the teachers can say with the old woman that was praying for bread: "The Lord sent it, even if the devil brought it." "The Negro in the future will have to look to the South for his friends," said an eminent Negro preacher at Texarkana last Sunday. When Christian folk look to hell for their succor then will it be time for the Negroes to look to the South for their friends. ```markdown ``` SEATTLLE. WASHINGTON NOVEMBER 30, 1906. "Coal Oil John Canutt has been weighed in a balance and found wanting,'" says Gov. Mead. Thanks for the glorious Thanksgiving yesterday. We may not be able to gobble, but true to our nationality, we can crow like the very old Sam Harry. Congressman Tim Sullivan did not look much the tenderfoot as he done the town one day this week with John Considine. Any true Westerner is willing to say, "Tim's all right." You certainly can sell either your home or your business location in Seattle to a good advantage just now, but unless you are figuring on leaving town on the next outgoing train you had better look before you leap. Chicago Jews are preparing to give the policemen of that city a rough house if they persist in abusing members of the Jewish race simply because they are Jews. That's the only way to get a square deal, Mr. Man, so go to it. Enough liars and perjurers have been made in trying to get the Sullivan estate to overrun the penitentiaries of two states if they all had their just deserts. If money is not the "root of all evil" then, what the devil is? Public Prosecutor Mackintosh is getting lots of free advertising from the evening Swill-barrel (Times), and if the editor thereof is not reaping a financial harvest then Kenneth has not got the money he has been credited with having, or the old man has forgotten his grafting cunning, or there is an ulterior motive somewhere down the line. Mrs. Kruz positively identified a suspect, who had been arrested charged with having robbed her, and yet a few hours thereafter another highwayman confessed that he did the job and the two men looked no more alike than chalk like cheese. Had the transaction happened in one of the Southern states the first man would have been burned at the stake. John L. Canutt has been summarily removed from office of state oil inspector by Gov. Mead for misconduct in office. This makes the second one of his appointees that the governor has removed from office—Kees and Canutt. The appointmetn of both of these men met general opposition, but Gov. Mead insisted on appointing them and now he wishes he had not. Who next? is the now burning question of the hour. ```markdown ``` LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 906 PRICE TEN CENTS. B YTHE WAY. Very soon the doors of the old library will be closed and the doors of the new one thrown open to the public. It will be a proud day for Seattle. This new handsome structure has been a necessity from the rapid growth of Seattle for some years. However, the older inhabitants of the city cannot but cast back a rather appreciative glance at the old building, for its history is an interesting and serviceable one. Some inventive mind may map out other plans and for the old building perchance the end is not yet. "The city is to be better lighted," reads the Seattle man as he sips his morning coffee. Good, and he smiles. "Property holders to pay for installation of lights," he further reads and then he shudders. Moral—he is beginning to get the "shudder habit" now whenever he reads aynthing about "property owners," "abutting property" or benefited property." Gov. Vardaman's cousin, William A. Ragsdale, has been locked in jail in Washington city charged with being drunk and disorderly. He telegraphed Governor Vardaman for succor but for once Mississippi's great bazoo did not deign to speak. Ragsdale denied being drunk, said he had taken a little "toddy" and that in the South such a thing as his arrest would never have happened. He has doubtless learned that out of the South, toddy is toddy and plain drunk is plain drunk. Some of the expressions in the graphic account of Commander Peary are technical being seldom employed except in description of polar researches and if the average reader struck a bunch of them without previously having seen definitions of them he would not know whether he was trying to decipher the Queen's English or the more lately popular Esperanto. Tyrol bosts of the tallest woman in the world. She is twenty-seven years old and 7 feet 5 inches high. Her mother and father are not above the ordinary stature. When she marries, muchly abused wives can take comfort in knowing that there's at least one woman being looked up to. Never in the history of the world has public opinion waxed so warm or against the question of divorce. The opinion that in as much as the state takes upon itself the authority to undo what the ministry does, it should also take upon itself the responsibility of the work from the beginning by uniting couples in the holy bands of wedlock, seems to be a growing one. If this were done it would relieve the different churches of much anxious care and prolonged discussion. However, it would also The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

The oldest man in Wichita, Kansas, has just taken unto himself his fourth wife. His name is H. L. Grey and he is ninety-four years old, the woman whom he wedded is sixty-five. The surprise about the whole matter is not that he married four times, that's common in these advanced days, but that the bride was sixty-five instead of sixteen. Mr. Grey has not kept in touch with the trend of things matrimonial. However, here's long life to the bride. Suppose such a thing as a north pole had never been thought of, what in the world would have furnished food for thought upon which so many have subsisted all of these years. The result would have been far-reaching. What a vacuum in the newspaper columns, what a lack of speculation and what a derth of frozen men and dogs within stone throws of their icebound vessels. The hearty and quick responding sympathy for Leonard Masters, the young lad who lost all of his relatives on the ill-fated Dix, speaks volumes for the large-heartedness of the Seattle and surrounding townspeople. Recent articles published in some of the Western newspapers concerning the Japanese question have put the American people in rather a ludicrous light. It was published that the people of San Francisco did not wish the Japanese children in their schools, but that President Roosevelt would be advised that they must be permitted to attend as Japan would boycott America, and that would never do. In other words, if it was going to cost America so many dollars and cents the children of Japan would be permitted to attend the American schools. Again, it was published that Japanese, strictly speaking, could not be classed as Mongolians, a thought never advanced until the question of their attendance in the schools came up. Conclusion to be drawn by foreigners: Some men's pocketbooks being threatened can so materially change their viewpoint that the nationality of an entire nation appears to them not to be what it really is. "If this trouble about the schools reaches Japan it will hurt American interests immensely," writes one lately returned from a visit among the sons of Nippon, whereupon it is published that "the Japanese can do anything that Americans can do." "There is nothing mean or small about the little brown men and we must treat them as equals"—that is if we wish to hold even the small share of the trade of Japan which we now have. In other words, we will treat the Japanese as we would be treated—because we have to; we will give them a fair show in our country—because it will affect not our honor but our national pocketbook if we do not; and if the brownness of their skin becomes too offensive we will shut our eyes for they are, in all truth, not Mongolians, but possess the power of turning the boys of their boats from our shores. If we as a people are weak enough to hold in our hearts thoughts which these THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN recent writings have disclosed, great is the pity that we have not diplomacy enough to conceal them till we have either cured or greatly lessened them. Was there poison in the stomach of Mrs. Creffield, has been an all absorbing question before the newspaper readers of Seattle. It seems there was, but one thing about which there can be no question is, that there were wheels in her head and the wonder is that so much space, time, talk and ink should be sacrificed upon a woman whose life was so little worthy of emulation, or who fought for a cause, the general adaptation of which would be ruinous to the nation. Caruso, the Italian tenor singer, thinks himself much abused for not being permitted to pursue the even tenor of his way by the Paris authorities. If similar actions to what he is accused of are to be the adopted tenor of the tenor, then he must not put into practice "his simple Italian way" upon any and all women, for some there be who, though disliking the base, will not permit of his tenor. NEGROES DOING WELL. That the colored population is keeping step with the general progress common to every community of the state of Washington is plain to be seen by any one visiting the different cities and communities thereof. Wherever the Negro is located there you will find him struggling to get not only a home for himself, but other property as well, all of which very conclusively shows that the Negro of the Northwest is no less energetic nor financially grasping than the most thoroughbred Yankee. He may be working under difficulties, but he nevertheless is surely working, and the assessment rolls in the various counties where he is to be found all bear swift though silent witnesses of that fact. In every county in Eastern Washington one or more colored men are to be found and a different story can be told of those isolated ones settled as they are among the whites than of the exceptional Negro settler in white pioneer settlements of say some twenty-five years ago. Then he dogged the white man's footsteps with his barber pole and a plea for "a job boss," but now he is striking boldly out to sea by getting hold of property and he is learning from the white man to do whatever and whoever comes his way in order to get the money to buy a piece of real estate. Have you got anything here, is about the second question they ask each other after meeting and getting acquainted. They may not have adopted as a motto that rather trite saying of Marcus Aurelius, "Let neither the peculiar quality of anything or its value escape thee," but one is safe in saying that wherever in the Northwest even to the uttermost parts of Alaska, the Yukon and the Northwest Territory the Negro is found (and he is found in all of these places) he is acquiring property and is trying to horde up wealth. A recent trip through the state by the editor hereof found the Negro population showing more signs of succeeding than a year ago when a similar trip was made, and November 30 1906 that is saying a good deal. In the city of Spokane the real estate condition of the Negro is not only gratifying, but exceedingly flattering. The splendid homes they own in every section of the city and the numerous small homes owned by them are living evidences that they have made up their minds to not be satisfied with a mere existence, but are struggling to share and share alike the best in the land with their white brethrens. While the men folk talk political recognition to some extent, yet they lose no financial or business opportunities to make a dollar while waiting for recognition, for they have long since learned that the Negro who strives to make his living out of politics usually enjoys a darn poor living. In Spokane, however, it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that fully 85 per cent of the Negro voters of that city and county own their own homes and the others outside of the sporting fraternity are struggling to be able in the very near future to boast of the very same thing. Outside of barber shops the Georgia Market operated by William Hopkins is the only business house in the city operated by a Negro, but they are doing janitor, porter and elevator, hotel and common labor work, for which they receive good wages and their earnings over and above a living are invested in real estate, which is making them money much faster than they could make it otherwise. After visiting Spokane even the true Seattleite does not hesitate to say, "If I were not a Seattleite I would be a Spokanite." So much has been said about the prosperous state of the Negro in Sunnyside that it would seem that there is nothing left to be said, and yet the colored man from the city, who is able to lay aside $100 per month for his home maintenance, sees the Sunnyside farmers enjoying an abundance so far superior to his that he has no hesitancy in saying there is no living equal to that of the Sunnyside farmer. Free from the labor union entanglements and living on lands where they have but to sow and reap theirs is a life of one long dream in comparison to his city brother, who works today and lays off tomorrow with, "What you going to do when the rent comes round," constantly ringing in his ears. With but two or three exceptions every Negro living in Sunnyside owns his home, which consists of twenty or more acres, the majority over 100 acres. How valuable those lands are is hard to say, as the price is advancing so rapidly that before one set of figures are published the price will have advanced fully 10 per cent. Those pioneer Negroes may have for years suffered in a manner that almost beggars description, but it is all over now and they have all their hearts and stomachs desire. That they are thrifty, progressive and prosperous about their homes and ranches may be seen by riding through the community in which they reside. Next year the government will furnish all of them all of the water they may need for irrigating purposes, a thing they have never before had and as soon as that has been done their farms will enhance in value at least 500 fold. Just across the river on the divide a score November 30, 1906 or more colored men haye government homesteads, which they are rapidly bringing up to a high state of wheat cultivation and those homesteads by the time they have lived on them long enough to make final proof will be worth a small fortune. Rev J. D. Pettigrew writes this office from that section to the effect that he has 200 acres of land grubbed and plowed and ready for seeding and if he has any success at all a splendid harvest will be his next fall. Others over there are reporting doing equally well NO RACE PROBLEM IN CHURCH. A striking illustration of the practical so- lution of the ‘‘race problem’’ was given at the funeral of the late Thomas Hardy at St. Peters Claver’s church, St. Paul, a few days ago. Amid the large colored congregation was a plentiful sprinkling of German, Trish and native American whites from both the higher and the lower walks of life. In the sanctuary of the beautifully freseoed church little colored boys clad in surplice cassock walked or knelt side by side with white acolytes. In the choir rich Negro voices rang out in full chorus chanting the Gregori- an Requiem and ancient Latin prayers that have come to us through the centuries hal- lowed by the use of countless generations of our forefathers in the faith. Besides Father Printon, the pastor, Monsignor Ma- jer and other clergymen in the chureh was Arehbishop Ireland in his pontifical vest- ments emphasizing the fact that in the Cath olic Church there was ‘‘no race problem,”’ and referring ‘to the inanimate Negro lying before him in the casket as a ‘‘close personal friend’? of a lifetime. As Christianity is the only power that lifted the civilized nations of the earth from barbarism so it is the only power that can lift the Negro race from the degrading influence of slavery and solve the present race problem. The ceremonies of the Church at the funeral of this poor Negro were as elaborate and impressive as if he had been the most prominent of her white children in the Northwest.—Denver Catholic Register. TILLMAN SPOKE IN CHICAGO. In the face of a determined opposition, Senator B. R. Tillman spoke in Chicago last Tuesday evening and confined himself to the discussion of the ‘‘Race Question’”’ of this country. Lest serious trouble be precipitat- ed, Mayor Dunne ordered some forty or more plain clothes policemen to guard him while in the city, and every reserve in the city was about the hall where he spoke. Even Tillman, with all of his bragadocio su- periority, must have keenly felt the cool and unfriendly reception he received at Chicu- go. Mayor Dunne, himself a Democrat, re- fused to preside at the meeting on account of not caring to introduce Tillman to a Chi- cago audience so damnable and disreputable is the character of the man. When told of the opposition to his speaking in the city and the prospects of an injunction being served on him and the hospital association to prevent it, he whined, like the cur he is, and began to talk about suppressing ‘‘free speech,’’ which he said was responsible for the great Civil War. That it was the sup- ..E SEATTLE REPUBLICAN pression of free speech that caused that in- ternecine war everybody now knows, but it was the long suppression of the free speech of the black man instead of the white man that caused it. It’s just such blatant mouth Southern firebrands as Tillman that are re- tarding the growth of the South, and it will continue to be the cow’s tail section of the United tSates until there are no more Till- mans and Vardemans to disgrace her in the North. Had such criminals as Tillman and Vardeman spent as much time in teaching the Negro how to be men instead of scul- lions they perhaps would feel a great deal different toward the black man than they do. With the clansman being driven from the playhouse of the North and Tillmanism driven from the lecture fields, or, when pre- sented, done so at the peril of the actors or the speakers, it begins to look as if protest: ing on the part of the Negro in the North amounts to something after all. Slowly that protest spirit is going to travel South, and the day is not far distant when a strong protest from the combined Negro popula- tion of even a community in the heart of the South will be heard or blue and black blood will flow in copious quantities. The Negro has prayed for relief ever since he was emancipated and yet his condition has grown worse from year to year. He is now waking up and is saying: ‘‘What’s the use- It’s death if you live and death if you die, so why not sell out as dearly as possible’’—that is to say, when you start over the dark waters by criminal violence take all the company you'can with you. The Lord still lives, but the man who sits down and waits for the Lord to fight his battles here on earth will find himself weighed in a balance and found wanting. But, after all, the Hospital Asso- ciation seemed about as anxious to have Tillmanism talk as did he himself, for it was offered $5,000 cash by prominent Negroes to have Tillman cancel his engagement, but re- fused it, which clearly shows it had an ul- terior motive in having Tillman there aside from the monetary consideration. The policy of this paper will continue to be Republican to the copse with not a single Democratic leaning, but it serves no- tice at this time that in the future it will dispute every inch of political ground that aspiring politicians gain, whether they be Republican, Democrat or anything else when they seek re-nominations to office, and yet while serving their first term they did not treat the black man with the same consider. ation they did the white man. If the mem- bers of the coming legislature carry out their party platform they will pass a direct pri- mary law and then there will be no.need of a Republican going out of his party to re- buke a political misfit, but if he is a bad enough misfit to wilfully insult any part of the people over whom he was elected to preside, then we shall pursue him to the very last ditch. The Negro is an American citizen and he does not propose to either draw the color line on himself nor permit any one else to draw it on him without re- senting it.

That the Negro is not always married to the Republican party and its nominees may be seen in the defeat of E. D. Sanders of Spokane county, late Republican nominee for senator from that senatorial district, and likewise the defeat of Hal Weber of Yakima county, late Republican candidate for sheriff. In both instances the Negro voters almost to a man worked to defeat their party candidate and in both instances they were eminently successful. In both cases by comparing the pluralities by which the Democrats over their Republican opponents were elected with the actual number of Negro votes cast at the polls, and keep in mind the Negro vote is always reckoned as practically a unit for the Republican party, it is readily seen that the Negro vote was directly responsible for the defeat of said candidates. For, to say nothing of the influence they may exercise with white voters, Mr. Sanders, the would-be Spokane state senator, was beaten by only a 65 plurality, while in his district there are not less than 150 Negro voters, the most of whom worked and voted against him. His opponent, Will G. Graves, was elected by a plurality of only 65. There are in Yakima county some 175 Negro voters and it is claimed by J. L. Bedell, the well known Negro leader of Sunnyside, that not to exceed ten of that number voted for Hal Weber, the Republican candidate for sheriff, and his Democratic opponent only received a plurality of 75. Now had Weber gotten only 100 of the Negro voters he would have defeated his opponent by a plurality of 125. Other elements entered into this fight, however, and the Negro vote perhaps was only been the "widow's mite," but as may be seen from the above figures "every little bit helps." Neither Sanders nor Weber courted the Negro vote and they now know they did not get it and they are sadder, but wiser from their political experience. In the case of Weber it was his second attempt, he having been defeated two years ago for the same office and under the self-same conditions—that is to say, every Negro in the county voting against him, and the plurality by which he was defeated was so small that had he have gotten the Negro vote as did the other Republicans on the ticket, he would have been elected by a handsome plurality. Diplomacy as well as consistency is a jewel. Why the Negro opposition to those particular candidates and not against the party? you ask. In the case of Ed Sanders, he it was that inveigled himself on a jury in Spokane, wherein a Negro, E. H. Holmes, was suing a "resort" for refusing to serve himself and wife as other guests, which refusal was based solely on their color, under the civil rights act of the state laws, and he, Sanders, so goes the story, made the fight of his life to get a verdict for the defendant and finally succeeded. Not content with his success in the jury room he talked it on the streets and permitted himself to be interviewed for the daily papers, in which he did not mince words in declaring his opposition to the Negro enjoying equal rights with the white man. Neither Holmes nor his friends THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN retaliated in kind nor murmured or complained, but lay dead for the bloodless hero, with the results that Mr. Sanders is not state senator, but his Democratic opponent is. The Negro voters not only voted against him themselves, but they button-holed every other voter in the district to help them out, and by cajoling some and threatening others, who had friends on the ticket, they were able to enlist a sufficient number of white votes along with theirs to administer a rebuke to him that he will never forget and such a rebuke as will serve to make others hesitate as to what they say about another class of folk. When Hal Weber was road supervisor in the Sunnyside district he made it a point to not give a single Negro in the district a single hour's work, though there were quite a number of them there and at the time they were paying taxes on 1,000 acres of land, more or less improved. Had not, however, his predecessor have given the Negroes considerable work to do nothing would have been thought about Weber's action. Smarting under the seeming insult to the Negro T. R. Taylor, an extensive hop raiser, was made a committee of one to speak to Mr. Weber about it, which he did. "I see, Mr. Weber," said Mr. Taylor, "that you are not giving any of the colored boys any road work, and that, too, despite the fact you have expended over $3,000 on road work in the district this year. How is this?" "I have no apologies to make," abruptly, as well as laconically, came from Mr. Weber, "and my actions in the past may be taken as a reflection of my future actions." He courtly closed the interview and walked away. The matter was reported to the Negro voters of Sunnyside and they, of course, declared war on Weber, he, however, thinking it but another case of a band of Liliputians attacking a Gulliver added insult to injury by laughing them to scorn and inviting the "niggers" to do their worst. He now realizes he made the mistake of his life and we suspect in his heart of hearts he would give a whole lot to be able to recall his brief interview with the "nigger." Let's hope, however, that both E. D. Sanders and Hal Weber will profit by their experience and that other aspiring politicians will at least learn that, in politics policy is the best policy, that is if you want to win without a fight in your own ranks. Even in Seattle a decided independent spirit among Negro voters, heretofore unswervingly Republican, is manifesting itself. At a meeting of the Forum, an organization among Seattle's Afro-Americans, two weeks prior to the last election, "The Advisability of the Negro Being a Partisan," was up for discussion, and while those taking part had no particular grievance at the nominees of the Republican party of the state or county, yet the whole tenor of the discussion drifted along independentness in politics. "Vote for the man instead of the party" met their hearty approval and even the ladies heartily indorsed such actions. So strong was the sentiment for the man and not the party that at the election two weeks later a great many of them were so apathetic that they failed to vote for any one, not caring to lose the time to even go to the polls to vote. While they may not have had any direct excuse for such apathy still they had mountains of indirect excuses and the party of their choice will wake up to find when it is too late that they have gone from it and that too when they needed them the worst. From way down in bleeding Kansas, where the Negro in the past has been so faithful to the Republican party that, if a man that had personally abused him, had gotten a Republican nomination for a state or county office, such Negro would "vote her straight" just the same. In other words he swallowed the whole ticket, "yaller dorg" and all, but comes a most startling report to the effect that the Negro vote almost to a man all over the state bolted the re-election of Gov. Hoch for some alleged political insult or affront he wilfully flung into their faces. So persistent as well as consistent was their fight that they enlisted the sympathies of hundreds of white voters in their cause which resulted in the defeat of the governor and, if not his actual defeat, reduced the 100,000 plurality the other Republicans got, that in his particular case too such a minimum that it will take the official count to decide whether he or his Democratic opponent is elected. Whether Gov. Hoch is or is not defeated now is of no importance, but the mere fact that the Negro voters gave the governor and his party the fight of their lives to save them the day; and the fact that his vote fell some 75,000 or more below the party vote are all sufficient rebukes to warn others that though the Negro is a faithful party slave, who can be depended on to always "vote her straight," yet there occasionally comes a day sometime when the worm turns and such times are coming more rfrequent as time goes by. In future the Negro must be respected if not considered by politicians. Unless we miss our guess Gov. A. E. Mead of this state is in line for a political rebuke from the Negro voters like unto that the Negro voters of Kansas administered to Gov. Hoch, and Gov. Mead not having popularized himself with the voters in general as he might have done the few Negro votes in the state may prove the turning point against his re-election. A Negro applied to Gov. Mead's penitentiary warden appointee for a guardship at the prison and the Negro was informed that he could not have the place because the prisoners might object to a colored guard over them and the other guards might not want to eat at the same table with the colored guard. When the governor was appealed to he said he was powerless in the matter. When Contractor McAbe, however, was in need of a colored servant and found one in the state prison that suited him Gov. Mead almost fell over himself to parole the Negro, who but two years prior was sent to state prison from Seattle for taking advantage of a fourteen-year-old colored girl who was a member of the church of which the Negro pastored, he representing himself to be a preacher of the November 30, 1906 Gospel, who not only betrayed the innocent little girl, but she died from the effects of that betrayal. Gov. Mead did not consult a single Negro in King county about that parole, yea not only not a single Negro, but not even the prosecuting attorney, the judge or the jury, and when the governor was asked about it by some Negroes he innocently replied: "I thought I was doing the colored folk a favor by pardoning one of their preachers." It is said that McAbe, on whose sole recommendation Mac Scott, the criminal wretch, was pardoned by Gov. Mead, who was sent to prison for fifteen years for the ruin and death of Mary Hall, informed the governor that it was only a little "nigger gal," and that all of them did about the same thing. Whether the argument was convincing or not the writer verily doeth not know, but he does know the dirty criminal was paroled then and there and subsequent report says he has since been granted a full pardon and that now, as a railroad porter, he is the same gay lothario that he was of yore. There may be some Negroes in the state who will work and vote for the governor for that act of kindness (?) but we have our doubts, yea our serious doubts. The Sunday Forum A house full and overflowing at the Forum last Sunday listened to Mr. W. J. Wylie, Rev. Edmonson, Mr. I. I. Walker, Mr. W. C. Peoples and others discuss the actions of President Roosevelt in dismissing Companies "B," "C" and "D" of the Twenty-fifth Infantry from the army for refusing to divulge the names of the soldiers who participated in the Brownsville riot. The president of the Forum in the outset suggested that those taking part in the discussion speak from the standpoint of loyal citizens, rather than from the standpoint of race prejudice, which, for the most part, was adhered to. Some 200 or more persons were present long before the meeting was opened, eager to hear every word that was to be said on the subject, and, Negroes though they were, discussing what seemed to them an injustice to members of their race by the president of the United tSates, yet the spirit of patriotism domineered the meeting from start to finish. In opening the discussion, Mr. Wylie declared the president had not done the colored soldiers an injustice. He not only had not done them an injustice, but had acted wisely in dismissing them from the service for not telling who the perpetrators of the Brownsville rot were. The president is the military head of the army, and he simply did his duty as such military head. The side taken by Mr. Wylie might have been the unpopular side of the question, but he handled it with such skill and adroitness that he was highly complimented by all who heard him. Rev. Edmonson held that the soldiers had been dismissed without giving them a fair and impartial trial and that even the president had no right to dishonorably discharge THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN soldiers from the army without first court-martialing them and in dismissing the whole batallion he had punished the innocent along with the guilty, many of whom (the innocent) knew not who the actual guilty ones were. Mr. Walker made a masterly appeal on behalf of the discharged troops and unhesitatingly declared the president had acted unfair and had used such drastic methods on those soldiers for no other reason than they were Negroes. He cited numerous instances where white soldiers had been guilty of even more heinous offenses than that the colored, soldiers were charged with having committed at Brownsville, Texas, and yet none of them were ever dismissed or even tried for their riotous acts. He was frequently applauded by the audience, whom he had with him from from the very outset. Mr. Peoples argued that sympathy should play no part in the discussion, that the colored soldiers were guilty of riot and were justly punished for their acts. He claimed the president was the true friend of the Negro and had shown that he was in a thousand and one different ways since he had been president of the United States. He further said that this was not the first time the colored soldiers had committed such riotous acts, they at one time shooting up a resort kept by a Negro. Those soldiers were stationed at Brownsville to preserve the peace, and instead of doing so they broke the peace. If the soldiers of the United States army are to become rioters because, forsooth, some criminal white man somewhere in the South had been riotous, what was the need of having soldiers to keep the peace? At the close of Mr. Peoples' speech the audience sang a verse of "John Brown's Body" with patriotic enthusiasm. Then Mr. Harrison and Mr. Wylie spoke briefly on the subject. Mrs. Graves recited "The Charge of the Black Brigade," which was loudly applauded. Mr. Reed, an ex-soldier, spoke from a soldier's standpoint, and his brief remarks were listened to with rapt attention. The president of the Forum then declared the discussion closed, whereupon Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: "Whereas, Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United tSates of America, by virtue of the power vested in him by Congress, has summarily dismissed from the Army of the United States, Companies "B," "C" and "D" of the Twenty-fifth Infantry because the members of said companies collectively and individually refused to divulge the names of their fellow soldiers guilty of the riotous acts at Brownsville, Texas, and thereby punishing the innocent as well as the guilty; thus reversing the Biblical law. 'It is better that ninety-nine guilty go free than an innocent one suffer,' and "Whereas, We condemn in unmeasured terms the actual participants in the Brownsville riot and trust the guilty ones will be detected and duly punished, yet we nevertheless believe the president's order so sweeping that innocent men, who were not only not participants in that riot, but were equally as innocent as to the actual partici- pants, have been done an evelasting injustice, which will reflect upon the good name of their children's children; therefore, be it "Resolved, That the Sunday Forum of Seattle hereby petition Congress to reinstate the dishonorably discharged soldiers, or as many thereof as are not actually found guilty of participating in that Brownsville riot. Be it further "Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to each of the members of Congress from the State of Washington for the purpose of enlisting their advocacy and support of such a motion before the Congress of the United tSates of America." STUNG Authorities Have Stirred Up Hornets' Nest of Public Indignation. It was remarked in these columns the other day that there would be much public sympathy for the three companies of Negro soldiers who are to be discharged from the United States army "without honor" because no one among them would turn informer against the few who "shot up" the town of Brownsville, Tex. There is unmistakably a great amount of such sympathy, and the authorities responsible for the discharge of the three companies must feel the sting of public disapproval. Especially noteworthy has been the number of letters of protest from old army officers, even men who were educated at West Point, and their attitude is of interest because it shows that even those who would naturally take a purely military view of the case are not necessarily agreed in support of the punishment inflicted upon the Negro soldiers. One old army officer, who signs his letter "West Pointer," writes to the New York Times to say that "no man with the first instincts of a soldier would 'peach' on his companions. Should a cadet at West Point be guilty of so dishonorable an act he would be cut by the entire corps; no one would speak to him." Sometimes whole classes in school or college are suspended because they refuse to testify against some member supposed to be guilty of a violation of school rules, and this method of discipline has been copied by the army authorities in the present case. Yet public opinion always has, and always will, regard with a measure of sympathy those who, not being placed under oath in a lawfully-constituted court, refuse to testify against friends and comrades. That a mistake has been made regarding the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry may not be so apparent to the military authorities as to those who are observing the effect of their action upon the colored race of the country, whose indignation is widespread, and not in the least concealed. If the government was unable to discover the identity of the soldiers who committed the offenses at Brownsville, it should have dismissed the case, evidently, rather than punish the innocent alike with the guilty; or if any one was to be punished for the bad discipline of certain companies, why should not the blow have fallen upon the officers who are responsible for the behavior of their men?—Springfield Republican.
