Wenatchee's Commercial Club were wel come visitors to Commercial Seattle. The fuel famine becomes exceedingly serious when a home is completely out of coal. Mind's Maximum is a splendid subject on which to lecture, and Joseph Shippen did it justice. At the present rate of disclosures one would be crazy to plead insanity before a Seattle jury. Another skyscraper for Seattle and the office of the Seattle Republican as a consequence was forced to move. The office is now at $ 2 1 5 \frac{1}{2} $ Marion street, between Second and Third avenues. That political ambitions choke out all sense of justice in some people has been forcibly demonstrated by the representative from Texas in Congress, who has introduced a bill favoring the dismissal of all Negroes now serving in the American army, and also recommending no future enlistment of Negroes or men of Negro descent into the army over which floats the Stars and Stripes. Whenever anyone is always boasting of soemthing new they have purchased, its a sure sign they are not accustomed to having anything. This seems to be the condition of Col. Blethen of the Times, who is eternally boasting of something new he has recently purchased. It is thought that Dr. R. P. Strong of the bureau of science at Bilibid, Manila, will resign. The doctor by mistake inoculated ten prisoners from tubes containing plague germs, thinking that he was making an experiment with cholera serum. Ie seems that a visitor in the laboratory during Dr. Strong's absence, mixed the tubes, which are so much alike that it is almost impossible to distinguish them, thereby causing the death of the ten prisoners. The native newspapers are very indignant and bitter over what was unmistakably gross negligence of medical precaution. ```markdown ``` SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON DECEMBER 7, 1906. By the Wayside. Spokane, Washington, is to have a departure in the way of a hotel for women only, a new corporation having planned and filed articles for the same. The purpose is to erect a hostelry for working women and young women who go to that city alone. The enterprise is a worthy one and will, if successfully carried out, have a telling effect upon the general moral atmosphere of that city. More than one mother will sleep the sweeter in her modest country home from knowing that her dacghter, nobly struggling to earn an honest living in a busy, wicked city, is safely housed in a woman's hotel. An investigation of the causes of the steamer Dix disaster has about closed and many questions have been asked and many answered, consuming no small amount of time. Doubtless there will now be a great improvement in more ways than one along navigation lines. But the question naturally arises must precious lives be sacrificed ere the general public secures needed protection? With the proper men at the head in such places where the safety of the public is concerned, it does seem many of the casualties which have happened during the last few years could have been avoided. The suggestion made by Samuel Cole of West Seattle to the effect that owing to the sudden and ofttimes fatal attacks of diseases to which mankind is heir, no pilot having the care of human lives in his keeping should ever be left at the wheel alone is a good one, which carries its impression with it. In the yards at Suspension Bridge, New York, the New York Central Railroad has inaugurated a plan which is quite philanthropic, to say the least. A lunch car for the men who are at work in the yard supplies their wants there by keeping them to a large extent from frequenting saloons. The result will be two-fold—the men will be better workmen from the benefit therefrom. The other benefit can be readily surmised when that part of our Father's prayer which says, "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil," is remembered. The railroad collision near Lawyer, Va., adds another terrible accident, the serious consequences of which comes forcibly home to many of us to the fatalities of the year now soon to be numbered with the past. That Samuel Spencer, head of the Southern Railroad, was numbered with those who did not survive the accident makes it doubly sad, as it always does when what is termed the head authority is suddenly snatched from an institution. One rather remarkable thing about the collision was that all of the colored passengers were not crushed to death. Seven LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN 906. PRICE TEN CENTS. of the eleven wounded were Negroes. That part of the railroad cars which Southern railways carry for the accommodation of Negroes is called "Jim Crow," and is placed just behind the express cars, where a liberal quantity of smoke and cinders are supplied from the engine before, while an unwholesome supply of second-hand tobacco smoke comes from the rear. Owing to the conditions of the wreck, it is simply a marvel that the colored passengers were not crushed into one great mass of human flesh, bones and sinews. Here is another case of the Lord taking care of his own. Seventy-four dead and seventy wounded is the record of fatalities for the hunting season throughout the country. The sacrifice seems great, yet not only has the goddess of the hunt been appeased, but many persons have shown that their taste when it comes to outdoor sports, is similar to that of one Theodore Roosevelt. So when it comes to fatalities—bah! It's an easy matter to build theaters on paper, but Howe will they be paid for when the bills come round ? is the question. WOMEN'S EDUCATION ABROAD. Women in Europe are largely claiming the highest educational advantages, and we learn from the Frankfurter Zeitung that quite a number of women are studying in the German universities either as Hospitanten (special students) or as matriculants. During the summer semester just past, 211 matriculated in the universities of Germany. The bulk of these study at the Southern universities, as Peipsic is the only Northern institution that admits women to matriculation. Df NINE—REPUBLICAN x these students 108 are taking courses in medicine, 66 in philosophy, 22 in mathmeatics and the physical sciences, 10 in economics, and 4 in law. While the number of Hospitanten in Germany amounted to 1,050 in 1905, for the current academic year it has climbed to 1,268. With regard to the intellectual capacity of women a writer in the Rundschau (Berlin) controverts the statement of Felicie Ewart, the well known German writer, who declares that those of her sex who venture to compete with men in professional life are usually dead failures. They are not good doctors, can not apply their knowledge, and are deficient in manual dexterity, says Felicie Ewart. The Rundschau replies by pointing to the brilliant success of women physicians in Switzerland and Germany. Switzerland, indeed, seems to take the lead in the opportunities it gives to women. In 1894 there were but 420 at Swiss universities, according to the journal above quoted. During the present year 2,193 women have been enrolled at Swiss colleges, of whom 1,518 have been Russians, many of whom have been driven from home by the closing of schools during the revolution.

Congress is once more the real thing and the last session of the Fifty-ninth Congress promises to be the liveliest one of many, years. The gavel of Vice President Fair- banks had no more than fallen when Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania, out of order, of- fered a resolution calling on the President and the war department to transmit to the Senate a full review of the dismissal without honor of Companies B, D and C of the Twen- ty-fifth Infantry, and he was no more thaw seated when Senator J. B. Foraker, of Ohio, offered a similar resolution, though more searching in its nature. Both of them went over. That dismissal proposition, first and last, will cause some hot debates in Congress. Tt will cost President Roosevelt some of his popularity as a square dealer, for which he at one time was such a strong advocate. The President’s message was a splendid sen: wenn THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THEODORE ROOSEVELT te document and he handled with telling roitness the great public questions of the y. No man is infallible, and the President no exception to the rule. While his ree- mendations on the lynching question were ‘the most part the thing desired, yet he iced all of the wrong on the black man’s sulders. So long as black men are torn state document and he handled with telling adroitness the great public questions of the day. No man is infallible, and the President is no exception to the rule. While his ree- ommendations on the lynching question were for the most part the thing desired, yet he placed all of the wrong on the black man’s shoulders. So long as black men are torn to pieces by angry mobs it is perfectly na- tural for the innocent ones to conceal the criminal ones. When the black man gets as fair and impartial a trial as the white man and is punished for the crimes of which he stands convicted, the same as the white man, then and not until then will the innocent black man willingly hand over the criminal black man to the law. Spasmodically some white woman is raped by a black faced man and. then the country goes into mobocratie hysteries, but not a word of condemnation is ever heard about the thousands of young December 7, 1906 black women, some mere girls, that are drag- ged to ruin by the criminal lusts of white men, and the very ones that burn black men at the stake for attempting to rob a white woman of her virtue. His recommendation that the Japanese be permitted to become naturalized citizens of the United States is wrong, unqualifiedly so, and on that issue he as a presidential candi- date would lose every state west of the Mis- souri river. The Jap is not only not a desir- able foreigner to admit as a citizen, but the United States will be taking into her bosom a human serpent that will strike at her very vitals as soon as it is strong enough. The Huns, Italians and every other kind of Eu- ropean emigrant are preferable to the Jap- anese. Yea, even the heathen Chinaman in preference to the Japanese. The Japanese government has had no stronger ally in the past than the United States, she going so December 7. 1906 far as to desert her former ally, Russia, for Japan, and yet those ungrateful curs are ready to go to war with the United States before the echoes of the Russo-Japanese guns have ceased to roar over a most trivial affair. The message is a lengthy one and is said above is full of meat for thought, and many points of it will be discussed herein from time to time. The following pertinent points of the message have been compiled: WHAT THE PRESIDENT RECOMMENDS Corporations to be forbidden to make contributions for campaign purposes. A right of appeal for the government in criminal cases, especially necessary since further criminal prosecutions of violators of anti-trust law are to be started. A statute limiting power of courts of appeal in criminal cases, so that no judgment be set aside save where error resulted in miscarriage of justice. Limitation on power of courts to grant injunctions in labor disputes. Denounces lynching in vigorous terms. Denounces the preachers of mere discontent, who seek to arouse violent class hatreds An eight-hour law for railroad employes. A thorough investigation of the conditions of child labor and labor of women. A law making employers liable in damages fo rall deaths of men in their employ caused by the "risk of the trade," as well as though preventable accidents. A federal arbitration tribunal to adjust trade disputes. Federal coal lands reserved from sale and leased on royalties payable to the government. More complete federal control of corporations, either through a national license law or in other fashion. Railroads permitted to make agreements as to freight rates, provided they are sanctioned by the interstate commerce commission. A graduated inheritance tax and, if possible, a graduated income tax. Approves storngly of technical and industrial training in the public schools. Speaks of the good work of department of agriculture, and of the development of the national policy of irrigation and forest preservation. An appropriation for construction of a memorial amphitheater at Arlington. Believes the whole question of marriage and divorce should be left to the authority of the national congress. A law to aid American shipping along the lines of the report of the merchant marine commission, as made to congress last session. Suggests urgently currency reform, but submits no particular plan. Lower tariff rates in Philippine products, or their free admission, and American citizenship for the Porto Ricans. Calls attention of congress and the country to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition. Refers to sporadic evidences of hostility to the Japanese, and pays a high tribute to them and to their country. Congress to provide for the naturalization of Japanese. Legislation to enable the executive to enforce the rights of aliens under our treaties. Explains the cause of intervention in Cuba, T.E SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and the action taken. Discusses the Rio conference of American republics. Further amendment of the laws for the protection of the seal herds. Talks on peace and war, the necessity of a well prepared navy and army, and of encouragement of target practise for volunteers and for civilians.—P.-I. If the Atlanta Constitution would give its white readers more advice and black ones less, we should have a higher respect for it. It says, in a recent issue, that, "If there is one lesson which the entire Negro race needs to learn more than another, it is that shielding its criminals is not race loyalty, but the reverse." Now, our position is that if the white race in the South would attend to its own business, and leave the officers of the police force and the courts to attend to theirs, the whole situation in the South would be changed for the better in a twinkling of an eye. The Atlanta Constitution does not urge the white man to hunt down alleged criminal white men. Why should it advise and expect and urge Afro-Americans to do it?—N. Y. Age. AN IMPORTANT DAY FOR THE SOUTH. The Southern press are still talking about the gala day in Charleston on November 3 when the good ship Wittekind came sailing into the harbor, direct from Bremen, with 420 Belgian immigrants. To a resident of New York, where the immigrants come in at the rate of 1,000 or 2,000 a day, the scene would have been a strange one. "Such a welcome was seldom, if ever, given a cargo of immigrants," says one paper. The population of the city crowded to the wharves. Federal, state and city officials were there to greet the newcomers, the young women of Charleston served them with an appetizing luncheon, and the railroads ran special trians to carry them to their new homes. "From many cities of the Southeast," says the Atlanta Constitution, "heads of families, or their representatives, were on hand at the docks when the immigrants disembarked, ready with attractive inducements, good wages, and accommodations in good Southern homes for the girls equipped for this class of work." The Southern papers are urging the people to display their traditional hospitality toward these strangers. Twenty of the immigrants returned to Charleston from the inland town whither they had been sent, and the Charleston Post fears they are homesick. "Everything possible must be done," it says, "to make their first days among us comfortable and to relieve their loneliness and to sustain their spirit." The Savannah News, similarly, thinks it would be inadvisable to send any of the immigrants to a "pistol-toting community," for fear they might be frightened away.

It may have been good politics on the part of Gov. Mead to have appointed John L. Canutt oil inspector, but he was appointed and apparently doing his whole duty and conducting the affairs of the office along business lines and even the points brought out by the committee named by the governor did not justify the dismissal of Mr. Canutt, and if they did, then there are others whose official conduct should likewise be investigated. It is claimed that Tom Payne worked in the office under Mr. Canutt for two months and that, too, without giving the requisite bond, and did so at Gov. Mead's own dictation. It is further claimed that Gov. Mead himself ordered the appointment of Dairy Commissioner L. Davies as a deputy in the oil inspector's office at a salary of $150 per month, thus giving Mr. Davies the benefit of two offices under the administration. Other irregularities about the affairs of the office in which Gov. Mead and the men with whom he is playing politics just now—unless suppressed—will come to light in the very near future, which will create something of a political sensation. That Gov. Mead is playing the game of politics just now and that, too, in the back yards of Senators Ankeny and Piles, is plain to be seen. Every utterance those gentlemen have made along political lines have been in opposition to the direct primary law, which the Republican party went on record as favoring at its last convention, and it is being talked all over the state that the friends of Senator Ankeney will block the efforts of the direct primary advocates in putting such a law on our statute books. Now, therefore, if Gov. Mead is training with that political faction, and there seems to be no doubt of it, he, of course, will oppose the direct primary law or he will see to it that a law of no force and effect be passed. The passage of a direct primary law will mean the certain defeat of Ankeney to the United States Senate, the probable defeat of Gov. Mead for re-election, and finally cause the breaking up of the now notorious political ring in this State in which the two Georges stand ace high. The passage of a compromise direct primary law, the equal of no law at all, will give the Republicans some trouble at the polls in 1908 and the Pie-maker, therefore, warns the next legislature to keep its ear to the ground. An effort is being made, so says the dope doser on the Evening Swillbarrel, to shear Lieutenant Governor Coon of some of his constitutional rights as presiding officer of teh Senate. As usual he charges the efforts up to John L. Wilson and his former political friends. Senator Wilson is an awful nightmare to the dope doser and such men of the state who read the Swillbarrel, and that, too, when he, Wilson, is not giving a tinker's damn whether the Republicans or Democratic party controls the political destinies of the State. The Pie-maker is prepared to say, and that, too, without fear of successful contradiction, that Gov. Coon made a most excellent presiding officer and even his worst political enemies admitted this. Similar talk went the rounds of the politicians two years ago, but it came to naught, as will doubtless this. VANCOUVER JUNE 2014 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The school election in Seattle last Saturday resulted in the overwhelming election of F. M. Guion and Dr. W. A. Shannon. The fight was the field against the Socialista and as was expected, the field won by a three to one vote. However, no mistake would have been made had Judge Richard Windsor been elected, as he seems well fitted for such work. No politics enters these school fights hence the proceedings of the board will not savor of partisanship in any shape or manner. Last Tuesday the second and third class cities of the State voted for municipal officials, and in most instances independent tickets won out. Wherever, however, the issue was between Republicans and Democrats or Citizens, the former was victorious. The suburban cities to Seattle for the most part elected annexation officials, and it can be reasonably supposed that before another election time rolls around, Ballard and all of the smaller municipalities will be a part of Greater Seattle. GUILTY AFTER THE FACT. It might be interesting for the Supreme Court to learn that the insanity commissioners of Akron, Ohio, have ordered that Dora E. Brewster, an insane person, be returned to King County, Wash., that being her legal residence, and the order has been legally executed, the party now being held in custody pending a hearing before the Superior Court of said county. In view of the law, as set forth in Sec. 5560, Pierce Code, and the law of 1905, known as the deportation act, it does not seem probable thta our Supreme Court will deny the authority of our Superior Court to execute a similar law in this State. The deportation law may be bad from the standpoint of public policy, but that is a question for the legislature and not the courts. The Supreme Court may hold the law to be nugatory and nonenforcible, but is our Supreme Court going to those lengths, while other states are executing similar laws? These views are pertinent to the case of Esther Mitchell, which has been submitted to the Supreme Court, and in which case a decision is awaited by an interested public. Speaking about the crazy Brewster wom- On the Ground Floor ...The Seattle Republican... Finally Lands with its Complete Newspaper and Job Printing Plant... Work Done with Neatness and Dispatch on Short Notice. 215 1-2 Marion Street. Phone Main 305 December 7, 1906 on reminds the writer that King County has other alleged crazies that are very much in the public eye just now, and chief among them is Chester Thompson, the slayer of George Mead Emery, who is now on trial for his life in Tacoma, his attorneys having taken a change of venue from King to Pierce county on the grounds that Thompson was crazy when he killed Emery, and still so crazy that he is totally indifferent as to the outcome of the trial whether he is found guilty of murder in the first degree or adjudged insane. What a strange, strange story the father and atorneys of Chester Thompson are hatching up to save him from the gallows. His father swore in support of a motion for a change of venue that he knew Chester was crazy when he shot Emery for he, Chester, had been crazy for two years prior. In face of this it will be shown that this same father had just expended $1,000 on a set of photographic paraphernalia for this self-same Chester, his beloved son, and had purchased a ticket for him from Seattle to Paris, where the boy was to take a complete course in the study of photography. How remarkable, yea, how criminally negligent of a father to send a crazy son to a foreign country, that might have gone to Paris and committed some depredation that might not only have given his family much trouble, but might have even caused international entanglements. Chester Thompson may be crazy, but he ain't no fool, and if he escapes the gallows on the insanity dodge, then he should be sent to a madhouse for the balance of his life. The man or woman who is so irresponsible for their acts as to kill a fellow being in cold blood is altogether too irresponsible to be running at large and surely too irresponsible to be sent to Paris, where he or she is likely to get wrong and kill a dozen or more persons who have no knowledge of his dangerous state of insanity. Some time in the very near future Constantine will endeavor through his attorneys, who, by the way, are the self-same attorneys who are trying to convince a jury that Chester Thompson is crazy, that at the time he shot Horace Hall he, Constantine, was not responsible for his acts, having been driven into a state of uncontrollable desperation on account of Hall's cruelty to Constantine's daughter and Hall's wife. If, however, the report sabout Hall's treatment of his wife be true, most any father would have acted as did Constantine. And again, if the grape vine reports about Hall's brutality be true, then the case is just as near a jury now as it ever will be and Horace Hall and his family will be the ones who will keep it out of court. If on the other hand, all these damaging rumors be only fabrications circulated for the purpose of creating sentiment for their client then he, Contsantine, will have much trouble in establishing the fact that he was not responsible for his acts at the time he pumped hot lead in Horace Hall's body so thick and fast that the young fellow must have thought that the heavens had surprised mother earth with a shower of hot lead. Public sentiment seems much divided in the Constantine-Hall embroglio and it will not be until all the facts have been laid before a jury that public sentiment will render its verdict as to the merits of the shooting. December 7, 1906 Vince Faben, who represented Constantine in the beginning of his trouble, is no longer the attorney of record in the case, but has been superceded by Big Bill Morris, the criminal lawyer of the Northwest, who is also handling the Thompson case in Tacoma, and who is also declaring Thompson will never hang for shooting Mead Emery. When Dr. C. W. Sharpless insinuates that Dr. Colman, Eames or Snively is not his peer in the medical profession he is giving himself credit with possessing more actual knowledge of medical jurisprudence than the general public has ever felt inclined to attribute to him, and that, too, after years of continuous practice in their midst. His criticism of the Mitchell-Creffield insanity commission seems to be nothing more nor less than a bid for a bit of cheap newspaper notoriety, and that, too, from a low-flung Hearst yellow journal sheet. "Saw it in the Times." Dawn lie. It is a well established fact in this community that the Times would rather publish a sensational lie than an actual truth. You may be a great medicine man, Dr. Sharpless, but you have a darn poor way of showing when you allow Prosecuting Attorney Mackintosh and the Evening Swill-barrel to use you as a catspaw for the purpose of trying to injure the reputation of Judge Frater because the brace of them have not been able to use him for their own selfish purposes. That the prosecuting attorney's office and the Evening Swill-barrel sprung the Mitchell-Creffield insanity hullabaloo for no other purpose than to influence the jury to convict Chester Thompson, is verily believed. This paper has no sympathy for Chester Thompson, but it considers such actions as pettifogging of the worst type and verging dangerously near itself to criminality. MORE OR LESS PUNGENT.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Sunday Forum The intense interest that has been manifested in the Sunday Forum by the general public from time to time, which has filled its place of meeting every Sunday afternoon full and overflowing with eager listeners, and actice participants, seems to have shown ever greater degree of interest in the meeting last Sunday, if such a thing be possible, than ever before. A crowded house greeted Mr. Joseph Shippen, the well known educator and attorney, who had been previously invited to lecture before the Forum. The meeting was opened by prayer by the chaplain, Rev. Edmonson, after which a short musical program was rendered, which included a solo by Mrs. Bennett, a flute selection by Mr. Shippen, a guitar solo by Mr. J. B. Reed, an instrumental duett by the little Clark sisters, and a selection by the Mariposa Quartet. The president then introduced Mr. Shippen, who, after prefacing his real address by relating a number of historical reminiscences in which the black man played a conspicuous part, an 2—REPUBLICAN Gamble MIND'S MAXIMUM. For some forty minutes or more Mr. Shippen held his audience in rapt attention as he stated premises, flanking them with apt illustrations drawn from our every day life, and finally reaching conclusions so pointed as to elicit rounds of applause. "I am a firm believer," said the speaker in one instance, "in the building of air castles by the human family, and then if possible placing props under them and making permanent abodes of them. He or she that is devoid of imagination has not much to live for." In such strains he led his audience on and on, until it was with regret it heard him say good night. In speaking of the Forum and its objects, he further said: "You could be enlisted under no nobler or more significant banner. It was at the Forum where all public questions were discussed without bias when the Roman republic was in the zenith of its power, which was productive of many lasting benefits for the perpetuating of the republic. If you will meet in your Forum and discuss the living issues of the day, especially those in which you are vitally interested, this Forum will prove to be a great public benefactor." At the conclusion of Mr. Shippen's address Mr. George W. Turner moved a rising vote of thanks be extended to him by the Forum for his well chosen remarks, which was carried amid ringing applause. The Forum will listen to short addresses next Sunday from Mr. Clifford Carroll Hancock and Mr. Hayden Richardson.

It is hoped that much meat for thought will be brought out in this meeting. Whether or not the Forum shall have exercises the evening of January 1st in commemoration of the taking effect of the emancipation proclamation by the immortal Lincoln, will also be discussed. The general public is invited to be present, not only as spectators, but as actual participants. The meetings are full of enthusiasm and the hundreds who attend are much pleased with the work. There is no reason for twice as many more not coming out and interesting themselves in the good work. The hour of meeting is at 4 o'clock p. m. at the Afro-American Hall, 2613 East Madison street.

They have loaned it to Mr. Cort for his attractions during the past two weeks, while the Grand is undergoing repairs, and the theatre has been occupied by the elite of society, as well as the regular patrons—only with the difference that they have been paying three or four times the usual price, and they have good-naturedly submitted to the change as the attractions were all satisfactory. Seattle theatre-goers are never stingy when they know that an attraction is worth the price. "Quincy Adams Sawyer," the play THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN YES SIR! HERE'S THE BEER, SIR!

It has just closed a successful engagement of five weeks at the Academy of Music in New York, and the same company that appeared there will be seen here—this is not written by the press agent of the company, but is a well-known fact, for there is only one company presenting this play. Critics everywhere pronounce it a rural gem, and one describes it as "a great big laught from beginning to end." Following "Quincy Adams Sawyer" at the Seattle Theatre on December 16th, comes Zinn's Musical Travesty Company, of twenty-five people. They give the same class of an entertainment offered by Weber & Field. The company contains sixteen dancing girls. The travesty is called "Teezy Weezy," and it resembles "Peggy from Paris," with the difference that it is even better and contains a finer lot of good looking girls. Fire and Marine Insurance.
