"It's a lie," snarls King Leopold, referring to the cruel treatment he is and has been subjecting the African natives to. Of course it's a lie, but it's Leopold that has done the lying in the opinion of the world. Airships are to be used in war by the United States in future, so reports the war department. Evidently Uncle Sam's blue coats are preparing to take the winds of the morning in case of war between this country and Japan. In view of the fact that the Japanese work for just half what the American gets for his work it is presumed that when they are legal voters instead of two dollars a vote there will be dollar votes to burn on election day. With the columns of the Evening Swillbarrel open to him for billingate of any kind Dr. Sharpless is able to get page advertisements for himself free of cost notwithstanding the fact it is against the constitution and by-laws of the "docs" to do newspaper advertising. Instead of that Washington female making a dash to the north pole, a dash to the moon, in view of the fact it has a man in it, might suit her better, says an exchange. If it's a man the poor thing is looking for then we suggest she come to Seattle where they are so plentiful that they are going to seed. In the states north of Mason and Dixon line there are but two Democratic governors, John H. Higgins of Rhode Island and John A. Johnson of Minnesota. And despite this rather sorry showing Democratic leaders all over the country will persist in saying, "the Democratic presidential candidate, whomever he is, will sweep the country in 1908." "It almost makes me smile." ... SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON DECEMBER 14, 1906. In the passing of J. M. Colman last Thursday evening another of Seattle's pioneers goes to the great beyond. Almost before Seattle was Seattle Mr. Colman settled here and has resided here ever since. It is said of him that he lived the simple life notwithstanding the fact his realty holdings [Name not visible in the image] JAMES MURRAY COLMAN. in and about the city are estimated to be worth over $6,000,000. He was a Scotchman by birth and the thrift and industry of his younger days stayed with him until sickness drove him from his work bench. For years after he had accumulated a fortune he devoted the greater part of his time to the study of new inventions of various devices. At the time of his death he was in his seventy-fifth year. He leaves two sons, Lawrence and George, both of whom are active business men. For a number of years Lawrence has managed the estate and being one of the most sagacious business men in the city the estate will not suffer on account of the death of the father. J. M. Colman leaves a monument to his memory in the Colman block that it will take ages to destroy. The old man Dowie may have feathered his nest and held his apostles with an iron hand, but wait until the young man Voliva has securely fastened his steel bands. There'll be some squirming don in New Zion. An Indiana editor printed the following: "The fellow who is courting a certain married woman would better leave town, as the husband is onto him." The paper had not been out long before every man intown had left except three old cripples and a man who had not read the paper.—Exchange. Oh certainly not for we have always been taught that the superior race was not given to any such refractions of the moral code. Wonder if Georgy Lamping told the president his amusing story of, "shooting little niggers out of the coakanut trees for target practice while a soldier in the Philippines," during his recent visit to the White House? Under oath William Randolph Hearst declared his effort to be governor of New York cost him $256,000 and yet it was Candidate Hearst, who fought for "purity in politics." We fear hell is full and overflowing with such political puritains. PRICE TEN CENTS. POLITICAL. As the time for the assembling of the legislature draws near, what it was thought would be one of the tamest sessions in the history of the state now promises to be the wildest—that is, from a factional standpoint. The power of the gang run by B. D. Crocker and the two Georges seems to be in a tottering condition and so much so that at this writing it actually appears to the Pie-maker that they can see their finish. If that gang should lose control of the senate it means Senator Ankeny's finish and it would also mean the finish of others from a political viewpoint, and of course place in th political saddle of the Republican party of the state an entirely new set of politicians. So desperate is the gang over the fair prospects of it losing control of the senate that it has sought the assistance of the Evening Swill-barrel, which has heretofore always branded them as being on the level with so many brigands, highway robbers and betrayers of public trust, to see if it cannot bolster up its waning fortunes, which it has undertaken to do by publishing a greater number of lies and more ridiculous tthan that dope doser, double dealer, turncoat, political nondescript has ever yet done, and that is saying a good deal. If Gov. Coon is not permitted to organize the senate when the legislature meets, A. S. Ruth, R. W. Condon or Robert F. Booth will be elected president by the Independent, who will name all the committees and leave the liteutenant governor shorn of all his powers. If the Independents control the senate the rulings of the lieutenant governor that do not meet their favor will be turned down instanter if not sooner. Of course the Radicals will not surrender without disputing every inch of territory gained by the Independents and with such old war horses as Tom Sumner, S. T. Smith and the Ankeny bunch from Eastern Washington as leaders of the Radicals, a battle royal will be given the Independents. But with either one of the above named Independents at the head of the con- [Name not visible] Charles E. Coon. trolling faction in the senate a state ticket will be planned for the next quadrennial election, and it begins to look as if Law- OF ADAS A STYLE A. S. Ruth. rence, state railroad commissioner, will be their candidate for governor. The success of the Independents will make certain the passage of the direct primary law, for under the circumstances, King County will have to cast her twenty-five votes solid for an iron-clad measure that will include every state, county and precinct office from United States senator to constable, in order to get votes for her million dollar appropriation measure. It's an ill wind that blows no one good. In speaking to one of the Independents about the alleged combine, the proposed silencing of Gov. Coon and the injuring of Senator Piles, he said: "All this hot air in the Times is tommy rot of the worst type. First of all, there are no insurgents at work. I do not deny that a number of state senators have come to an agreement and to an extent outlined the work for the senate. I am not saying how many of them are in this understanding, but I will say, unless I am sadly mistaken, a sufficient number of them is in it to not be afraid of the final outcome. There will be no disposition to rob Gov. Coon of any of his rights, but the senators have a right to organize the senate and that too without the interference of the lieutenant governor, and why not? If the senate is organized independent of the lieutenant governor it will be done for the sole purpose of protecting the state treasury, which has been [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit.] R. W. Condon. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN unmercifully held up in the past. Finally if such actions on the part of the state senators means the political undoing of Senator Piles then it seems to me it will not take very much to undo him. Every time that hot air artist on the Times wants to make a grandstand play he uses Senator Piles as his catspaw. If Senator Piles is so weak politically that every country cockfight that is pulled off, every constable that is elected, and the appointment of every janitor and messenger in the next legislature must meet his approval or he will be politically injured, then there is no need trying to keep political life into him, for he is dead now. Senator Piles has no political enemies in King County, at least none that's active, and if he is to mix into every local two-by-four scrap he is borrowing a world of trouble for himself and will soon find himself down and out. The Blethens are sneaking back into the Republican party and are trying to do it under the cover of Piles' popularity and Ankeny's almighty dollar. I have no patience with such political monstrosities whose partisanship never rises higher than the dollars and cents there [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. A. J. Falknor. are in being a partisan, and that is the record of the Blethens and the Times, their paper." There seems to be little if any doubt but that Hon. A. J. Falknor of Everett has corralled the speakership of the next house of representatives of the Washington legislature. In the last legislature Jack Falknor made a record for himself, which is serving him well in his fight for the speakership. If he succeeds in this, and he will, then keep your eye on A. J. Falknor when the time of nominating representatives in Congress arrives, as he is liable to shy his castor in that fight and not come out second best. If Falconer is successful, and it looks as if he will be, the Independents will organize the house of representatives of the next legislature, and then should the senate be controlled by the Independents a new deal, politically speaking, will be the order. With Falconer as speaker of the house and a success it would appear that the horoscope of Snohomish County will have to be recast and that one A. J. Falconer instead of F. H. Brownell will stand out in bold relief, but this is mere speculation and time and time only will tell. Democracy is up a tree for presidential timber in 1908 as the Bryan oak got wrowed in the recent government ownership storm, the Bill Bailey poplar burned in the oil flame and the holly Hearst was riddled by "de gang" for Christmas money. Un- December 14 1906 less the old Ass finds new forests from which to select timber it would seem wise to make Republicanism unanimous. INDIANS ARE NOT DYING OUT. No, the red man is not passing. There are more Indians in the United States today than there were in the time of Columbus. The Indians never were populous. They were too much at war. The first actual census of Indians was taken seventy years ago. At that time there were found to be 253,464. In 1860 there were 254,200. In 1880 there were 256,127. In 1900 there were 272,023. Today, by count of the Indian agents on the reservations of the country, there are 284,000 Indians. The Indians of the new state of Oklahoma are intelligent and wealthy and will be heard from in national affairs.—Ex. Two Indians and two white men were convicted at the last term of court in this country and sent to the penitentiary. It cost the taxpayers $2,633.30 to convict these four men. In addition to the above item there was about $700 more expended to punish other criminals, making a total cost of $3,235 for the one term. Most of the crime was due to the drink habit, and yet some men will argue in favor of the saloon for revenue only.—The (Sunnyside) Sun. If there had have been a Negro in the bunch then the white man's burden would have been strikingly American. A man in a neighboring town who took a city paper in preference to his home paper because he got more paper for the money, was attracted by the advertisement of a fire escape which would be forwarded on receipt of $2. He sent the cash and a few days later received a copy of the New Testament.—Exchange. The purchaser certainly had no grounds for complaint unless he got an inferior article. If the New Testament is not the surest fire escape on earth then religion is a farce.

The Philippine Islands. By Henry C. Ide in the Independent Magazine. (The following is an interview kindly given by the late Governor General of the Philippines on his return to the United States a few days ago to a representative of the Independent.—Editor.) After a residence in the Islands from May, 1900, until a few weeks ago, I can say that the Philippines now are, in my opinion, more peaceful than at any time before, under either Spanish or American rule. I have been through nearly every province, and am familiar with conditions in every part of the Archipelago, and have a personal acquaintance with nearly all prominent Filipinos. Anything that I can do to make my fellow countrymen understand the Filipino and appreciate his good qualities and his needs, will be service gladly rendered. The task undertaken by the Philippine Commission, in which I had the honor to share from the beginning of the Taft administration, as Commissioner, Secretary of Finance and Justice, Governor and Governor-General, was neither small nor simple. Not only were we confronted with conditions more or less of chaos, dealing with unknown quantities. As we got to know the natives we tried to win their confidence, and our success in this direction in the face of disheartening obstacles, has been most gratifying. Some obsacles were placed in our way by public speakers and editorial writers in the United States. Words thoughtlessly sown in the United States to meet some issue or fit some policy that had passed into oblivion or totally changed aspect long before the echo reached the islands, were most misleading to those whose confidence we were trying to win, and who held us personally responsible for every sentiment uttered in our own land. The administration of justice in the islands is conducted today with all the regularity of our own courts. The judges are able, independent and highly respected, and the forms of procedure have been made simple and inexpensive, but expeditious. Thru the adoption of the Torrens system the complicated problem of land titles is in a fair way of being settled. The new system of currency eliminated from circulation in the Philippines some 40,000,000 or 50,000,000 pesos of fluctuating silver currency, and substituted a uniform one based on the gold standard. Our internal revenue law, which met with much opposition from the manufacturers of tobacco and alcohol, products formerly very lightly taxed, but which now bear much of the public burden. The new system is now appreciated by the people at large as a most beneficent measure. It has raised the burden of taxation from a multitude of small industries and has transferred it to the optional consumers of alcohol and tobacco products. When the railroads are completed for which franchises have been granted and on which the surveyors are now working, the Philippines will have nearly 900 miles of well-equipped railway, which will mean much for the development of the islands. Not least among the benefits to be derived from this industrial development will be the opportunity it offers the Filipino for labor under skilled supervision, the new markets for local products during the period of construction, and the immense advantage of bringing the rich products of the interior within reach of the markets of the island and of the world. The impression that Filipino labor is unjust is in large measure untrue. If properly managed, the Filipino is a fairly good laborer. He cannot be kicked and cuffed and cursed. Treat him roughly and it is only a matter of a few hours when his sis- 187954 000000 2002 TUE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ter or his cousin or his aunt will be sick and he will have to hurry to her side. And that will be the last that boss sees of that Filipino. The Filipino laborer needs efficient oversight. He needs more overtime probably than most other laborers; but with the kind of oversight he does much useful work, work good enough to offset the expense of supervision. The Manila harbor works, representing an outlay of $4,000,000, stand largely as a monument to Filipino labor wisely directed. The natives engaged on that work were encouraged to bring their families with them, for the Filipino is a great lover of home and family. They had their brass band, for they greatly enjoy music, and on Sundays they had their cock-pits, which to the Filipino mean even more than does the baseball diamond to young America. In Manila we have forty miles of new electric railway, as well equipped as any in the United States. The cost of building was carefully figured and in the item of labor—all Filipino labor under American supervision—the actual expense was 40 per cent. below the estimate, which had been based upon the theory that Filipino labor was most inefficient and expensive, not expensive in the per diem, but supposed to be so in actual results for the money paid. As regards Chindse labor. Chinese undoubtedly would develop the islands, but their admission would not develop the Filipinos. The Filipinos are opposto the admission of Chinese, for they realize that the the Chinaman is most formidable competition and would soon control the industry and trade of the islands. The Commission, in its reports, has favored the admission of a limited number of skilled Chinese mechanics, with the condition that each should train a certain number of Filipino apprentices. Congress, however, wills otherwise. Leyte and Samar are the only islands now where the conditions are disturbed. The trouble there is caused mainly by tribes of religious fanatics who have lived for years in the hills, who hate the peaceful husbandmen of the plains and who raid the lowlands at irregular intervals. The police and constabulary force of the islands is, aside from constabulary officers, and outside the city of Manila, now entirely native, and can be trusted with these and any similar disturbances. United States troops are very rarely called upon for aid. The entire policing of the islands, municipal and rural is in the hands of the natives, and they have proved both reliable and effective constabulary. In the city of Manila the police is one-third American and two-tnirds Filipino, an admirable combination. Conditions in the Philippines, aside from Samar and Leyte, are satisfactory from a peace point of view, but what the islands need and are entitled to for their material benefit is a square deal from this country on the tariff question. It will come, I believe, but meanwhile the situation is serious. By annexation we killed the Spanish market for Philippine sugar and tobacco, and our tariff shuts these products from the United States market, and today both these industries, the most important in the islands, are practically prostrated.

A 92 --- The Sunday Forum It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that last Sunday's program at The Forum was the most entertaining one that has as yet been had, and that is saying a good deal. The house was comfortably filled with persons interested in the work and showed their high appreciation of the various renditions on the program. Messrs. Walker and Gardner are to be commended for the splendid work they are doing on the program committee. The address by Mr. Hayden Richardson was, to say the least, a masterly effort and that it met general approval was shown by the enthsiastic applause it received. Mr. Richardson is almost a native son and the most of those present have watched him grow from mere childhood to manhood and noted with great satisfaction his riepning inot a student of nature. His talk was along commercial lines and was not only highly entertaining, but exceeding interesting. The feature of the program, however, was the banjo-guitar renditions by Messrs. W. M. Holly and D. B. Washington. It has been said of Mr. Holly that he is a banjo king, and the comparison is not overdrawn. His first selection was followed by others and each number was given a more enthusiastic applause, if such a thing was possible, than the last. The trio in which Mr. J. B. Reed was the piano accompanist, was a most pleasing selection. Mr. Reed also favored the audience with a piano solo, The Holy City, as did Mrs. Thompson a vocal solo. Mr. Clifford C. Hancock read the following short but interesting paper on Music: "ORIGIN OF MUSIC." For, as the mountains, and valleys, and rivers, and, seas were from the beginning, so has music been. It was the music of nature, of the air, the water, the brook, and the distant water-fall, and of the gentle wind which moving forth upon the earth, caused the grass, the herbs and the trees to spring forth. It was the music of birds, of insects, and of everything which had life, in the first joyous spring of existence. What glorious music this must have been! We speak of the music of our time; of our thousands of voices and instruments uniting in chorus of praise to God, and of the wonderful genius of Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Cook, Wagner, Freeman, and Taylor, and others, but no music ever composed by mortal man can be compared with the morning of the Seventh day; the beginning of time and things. The Negro has contributed to the culture of the Musical world, a large number of artists, who have attracted the attention of nations; with voices and compositions that have pleasingly entertained and enriched the homes and concert stages of both continents. From the earlist of his existence to the present time, he has shown that love, ability and appreciation for music, that indicates a successful musician. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN It is, indeed, encouraging to note that the Negro in his effort to obtain knowledge of music has crawled out of the depths of ignorance to the daylight of knowledge; and although he enjoys much success in this accomplishment, the seeming cry of his soul is to know even more about the art. In his illiteracy, he created tunes that the greater race is proud to call "Our Country's" music. For in these tunes there is that pathos rythm and feeling which soothes the inmost soul and calms the most rebelulous heart. We find that the slave had a song to console his every adversity, as well as promote his every joy, and to accompany his religious feeling. Today, we have Negro composers that compare favorably with the best popular classic writers and composers of the Caucasian and Anglo-Saxon races, who had at least two thousand years the advance of the Negro. For example, in forty years the Negro has provided three hundred composers of prominence. Three of this number are classed as great composers. Namely, Will Marion Cook, H. Lawrence Freeman, W. H. Loving and S. Colridge Taylor. These mighty men, each greatest in his own realm, are the prominent and harmonious vanguard of a musical and liberty-loving people, whose aim is to pay respect to whom respect is due, to emplore fair chance to earn honest bread at the profession as honest citizens willing to work faithfully onward until merit has its true reward. His progress in music like other features of his rapid advancement has been afforded him by convenient time or opportunity, which is the greatest aid to success. All he lacks is opportunity. THE NEGRO AND MUSIC By H. F. Wilson. In any inquiry as to solutions of the Negro problem the influence of music must not be slighted. That this art plays a prominent part in the development and life of any people is too obvious to need emphasis; but the response of the Negro to music is singularly ready, and so sure that it almost leads to the query whether through this response, rightly directed, might not come the main developing motive.

Phone Main 305 December 14, 1906 Those who know him best accord the Negro a sincere aesthetic nature. His love of dress and finery, however crudely expressed, is in a manner evidence of this; so is his love of color, though often this manifests itself pervertedly enough. A sensitiveness to natural beauty of scenery and physical environment is almost universal in the race, despite the ugly surroundings in which individuals are forced to live. But it is in music that this aesthetic sense shows its liveliest development. There is hardly a Negro so poverty-stricken that he may not possess a musical instrument of some sort; and many a lad, working hard week in and week out for a paltry wage, will yet save enough to buy himself music lessons. The case is not unique of the boy who, working with stiff, horny hands all day at the carpenter's trade, devoted nearly the whole of his savings and all of his time evenings to taking a correspondence course in piano lessons. Think of the discouragements this suggests! Not to him, however. It was the animation of his existence. If a Negro plows a furrow, he does it to a tune; and he paddles a canoe to some susceptible rhythm. The clatter of a tin pan is suggestive of beguilement to the solitary walk of any child, but observe a colored boy with this primitive medium of expression; note what inspiration it furnishes him for ingenious and highly embellished rhythms which he whistles or sings with immeasurable delight. As with all undeveloped peoples, too, the Negro perhaps more than most uses music to charm away superstitious and malevolent fancies. Marked as a race characteristic is the inherent feeling for harmony. Compare the Negro in this respect with the average white person. It is rare enough to find among ourselves individuals or groups of singers who have the instinct for harmonizing a melody, while with the Negroes this ability is almost universal. If there are but two or three singers, each will take a different part in order to make the harmony as full as possible. If a boy is within hearing distance of any instrument carrying a melody, he will whistle, not with the melody, however assertive, but will ad a part. Still more remarkable is it to hear a boy whistling or singing by himself, carrying the melody until it reaches some point where the feeling is strong for the tonic or dominant note, we will say, when suddenly he will leave the melody to carry itself in the mind, while he takes a bass note to give emphasis to a modulation or climax, returning to his melody with an inerrant instinct when it would weaken or be lost. Nor is this an exceptional instance. Of course the harmonies the Negroes use are likely to be simple (as would be expected with a music-loving though musically uneducated people), being confined mainly to sixths and thirds and similar combinations with but little movement to related keys. Still, in some of the plantation melodies a very fine feeling for harmonic effects is evident, even though studied combinations of notes may not be used. It is easy to see ways in which this love of December 14, 1906 Negro manifests, why not experiment with and encourage the playing of the more subdued instruments? Above all, study the music may serve as an educating force. Mr. Charles Peabody tells how earnestly a stirring singer, in a band of workmen who came under his observation, was besought by his companions not to sing a particular tune, for it "made them work too hard." The same authority states that men are sometimes hired as laborers solely for their ability to incite their associates to work through the rousing quality of their songs. This energizing influence of music is not without its value to a race naturally indolent and easeloving; but a far greater value is to be found in the cheerfulness it gives the Negro under conditions that would drive to despair or deadly apathy a man of another race less sensitive to this influence. Observe a Negro at the end of a hard day's work, into which, it may be, have entered bitterness, race prejudice, and injustice. He cannot reason as he can feel—this instinctive creature—and perhaps hate is ready to have its way with him. Bring him under the influence of music and his nature has changed. A wholly different look is in his face, and the glower of ugly resentment is quite gone. The music has transformed him. His religion, necessary as it is to him, may not always elevate his ideals, because in it are often too much of superstition and too great perversion of ethical standards. But under the inspiration of good music his emotional nature is guided unconsciously to its best expression; and an atmosphere in which this influence predominated might perhaps more than any other one thing cause the Negro to attain the highest development of which he is capable. To what extent this is considered and worked for among those who are influential in educating and developing the race it is hard to say. The problem is serious, of course, and presents many complexities. Above all, dealing with so subtle a mode of reform demands sincere sympathy with the Negro, and requires ample time to prove the serviceableness of what must be at present a more or less unorganized experimentation. While much is being done in the best schools for the colored people in the South to develop systematically and wholesomely this musical instinct, something yet remains for deliberation. The efforts which are made to preserve the folk-music, to further the instinct for ensemble singing, and to educate the taste of the Negro, are in the highest degree valuable. But often one hears some such remark as this: "Let a colored boy join a band and he becomes worthless for steady occupation. It absorbs his entire interest." "Therefore keep him out of the band," is implied. This would no doubt be the simplest mode of dealing with a perplexing difficulty, but is it not a clear confession, on the part of the educator, of insufficient ingeniuty or judgment to turn to a serviceable end a surprisingly rich means? If music is so absorbing to the negro, why not devise some way of making it serve systematically to promote his rational activities and to turn to account his exuberance? Or let the band music be of the quality that shall train his mind, rather than add to his native emotionalism. Again, in- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN stead of accepting as final the strong inclination to the brass instruments which the kind of music which has the most ennobling effect upon the race, and by its free use make the most of its influence. It is a matter to consider whether the almost exclusive following of Northern methods of presenting music to students is likely to be productive of the best results in Southern institutions. To a certain extent this subject as taught to the whites has value to the Negro as well; but with his peculiar temperament does he not need distinct modifications in the manner of teaching? Surely the best results may be expected when that genius shall arise who, while feeling the full value to the Negro of the more conservative, finely tempered, and intellectual music of the white man, will yet give recognition to the unique musical aetheticism of the black man; and from his native songs, and in accordance with his racial potentiality, evolve that music which shall spiritualize the Negro's emotionalism, train his mind, and preserve artistically his indi- ABOUT HEADWAITER ANDERSON. Never was a number of persons more unjustly treated in the columns of a newspaper than was Mr. Austin Anderson, late headwaiter at the Lincoln hotel, and the young lady waitress, who also worked under him, in an article with flaming head lines and bristling with prevarications from start to finish in the Daily Times (Swillbarrel), in which it told its readers how Anderson had been fired from the position as head waiter of the hotel by Mrs. Blackwell for continued drunkenness and that eighteen of the lady waitresses struck because he was fired. The article was both inspired and written for no other purpose than to injure Anderson with other hotels and to incite race prejudice by leaving the impression that the girls were so enamored with their charming Othello that they gave up their positions rather than be out of the sunlight of his swarthy presence. The facts of the matter is Mr. Anderson tendered his resignation over a month ago, to take effect the 26th of December, and Mrs. Blackwell was highly incensed over it, and prevailed on him to reconsider, but he would not. Then she summarily announced to him last Monday evening that as soon as dinner was over his services would no longer be wanted and posted notices throughout the hotel to that effect. At the time there were employed in the hotel 24 girls and four colored men. The girls, who had received only the kindliest treatment at the hands of Mr. Anderson, would not stand for such treatment and decided to strike unless Mrs. Blackwell recalled the order. Out of the 24 girls 22 struck and have since found employment at other places. Strange as it may seem, none of the colored men struck nor made any protest at the treatment accorded Anderson, though he was of their own flesh and blood. Mr. Anderson has signed a contract with the proprietor of the new Saint Francis hotel, which will open about January 1st, and that was responsible for Mrs. Blackwell's hostility. Oklahoma's Constitution. The legislature of Oklahoma has begun work on the constitution for the new state, and a most perplexing problem it has. At the election the delegates chosen were Democratic by a large majority, and they have many dominant topics to consider in arranging the plans foo the state's guidance. The varying conditions in the two ends of the state—the Indian Territory and Oklahoma—made the task more difficult. For instance, Congress provided that the Indian Territory must be without liquor selling for twenty-one years. Oklahoma has large brewing interests and saloons. An effort will be made to extend prohibition to the entire territory. Probably the matter will be submitted as a separate section of the Constitution. Fortunafely, the capital is fixed, Guthrie being named in the enabling act as the seat of government until 1913. The Indian allotments, the large amount of non-taxable land in the Indian Territory, the inequality of taxation and of valuation, the regulation of corporations—made doubly important by the entrance of the Standard Oil Company into the rich oil fields of the new state—all require careful study. Then the race question, which war a large factor in the election, must be settled. As a cotton producer the new state has a large and increasing Negro population. Doubtless this will be given definite treatment in the Constitution, care being taken not to overstep the bounds lest the President refuse to sign the document or the people to adopt it. Oklahoma has a rare opportunity to put into practice some of the good ideas in government that have been tried out in the other forty-four States. It has an ideal field in which to do this—a fertile and wealthy territory, a well to do and ambitious population with the largest percentage of native Americans of any state in the union, an abundant supply of material in legislative procedure from which to select. Naturally efforts will be made to incorporate impracticable ideas and reforms that have ever been tested in actual service; but enough material is at hand to make the new Constitution a model of governmental functions. With the exception of the New Mexico-Arizona section, which has just refused statehood on the terms offered, Oklahoma has the only chance to establish organic law at the beginning of things which has been given to a state for many decades. Its legislators should be wise enough to prepare a Constitution commensurate with Oklahoma's material greatness, based on modern conditions and latest information. PETKOVITS FURCo....

The company is an exceptionally good one; there are several of the original New York cast, and the leading actor, Mr. Wm. M. Williams, is a light comedian of rare excellence. The charming little lady who plays the blind girl is an actress that would attract attention in any theatre in the land, at any price of admission. Why "Quincy Adams Sawyer" is played at popular criced theatres, when so many inferior attractions command $1.50 prices, is one of these things in the theatrical world that, in the language of Dan Dreary, "no fellow can explain." There is no villain, no gun play, no sweet, pretty well-told story, and a religious charm without being obtrusive throut the entire play. Don't miss seeing "Quincy Adams Sawyer" if you haven't read the book; if you have, you will probably be on hand, if you haven't been to the Seattle Theatre already this week. The engagement closes Saturday night. "Zinn's Travesty Company," an organization of twenty-five musical comedy artists, opens at the Seattle Theatre next Sunday afternoon, and will be the pro-Christmas week attraction. "Teezy Weezy" is the title of the musical skit that holds the thread of the comedy together, but like all its predecessors, it is made up of the Webber & Field style of offerings. There are some very clever comedians in the company—Gus Mortimer, J. W. Clifford, Horace Mann, Cad Franks, Francis Grey, and others. There is also a beauty chorus of sixteen dancing girls that will attract attention, not only from the bald-headed row in the parquet, but thruout the entire city before this engagement is completed. The Seattle Theatre is giving some attractions that are "worth more than the price"—"Zinn's Travesty Company" is one of them. Joseph Muller, who managed the Pollards last season," is responsible for the "Zinn's Travesty Company," and his attractions always make good.
