We wish you a Merry Christmas. Is Gov. Mead's coal commission another grandstand play to the galleries for a renomination? Germany's prediction of war between Uncle Sam and the Mikado seems to be a clear case of the "wish father to the thought." Seattle's first horse show, according to John W. Considine's version of it, should have been a mule show from the braying of the judges. There is no excuse for the Republicans not kicking Smoot out of the United States senate as they do not need Utah's vote either in the senate or the electoral college. President Roosevelt was inclined to wander off after strange gods "thru" the medium of a new spelling book, but congress refused to go back on the old "blue back" speller. "Teddy Swears by Puget Sound," says a headline. We suspect he swears by most anything he is near when things go wrong with him, or that's the impression one would form of him after a careful study of his face. Big Bill Bailey of Texas believes he has a lead pipe cinch on succeeding himself in the United States senate. He doubtless used that self same pipe in tapping the standard oil barrel in order to get fuel for the campaign. Black diamonds may not shine as brightly as do African diamonds, but they certainly burn more readily, and in Seattle there is little or no difference in the cost of the precious minerals. Christmas' crop of special editions are ripening and already the harvest has begun. From a size standpoint the Catholic Progress takes the cake. All of them are more or less instructive and good advertising mediums for the Northwest and should be liberally distributed in other sections of the United States. ```markdown ``` SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON DECEMBER 21, 1906. [Name not visible in the image] CHARLEY BAKER DEAD. But a week ago and Seattle mourned the death of J. M. Colman, and it now mourns the death of Charles J. Baker. Both of these gentlemen were well known pioneers and saw Seattle grow from a hamlet to a great city. Few men in Seattle were better known than the late Charley Baker, as he was known to his many friends and acquaintances. For many years he was one of Seattle's prominent business men, but retired some few years ago. He was elected county commissioner from Seattle four years ago and two years ago was re-elected, which position he held until his death. He has lived an exemplary life and he leaves a record of a square deal to every man. Peace to his ashes. Spokane's legislative delegation has decided to fight Seattle's million-dollar A. Y. P. appropriation for no other reason than because Spokane has a grievance at somebody somewhere down the line of which Seattle knows nothing about. There may be darnder fools, but they are hard to find. How to make one's regular salary pay all the household bills and buy Christmas presents for every member of the family, relatives and friends galore is what's worrying 99. per cent of the men in the United States at this particular time. This is doubly true in view of the fact that the price for household necessities has advanced some 25 per cent while the salary has remained in a statu quo. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. Japan's demonstration over the San Francisco school embroligio is apparently being done for no other purpose than to force the United States to recognize her as she has no other dark race. Even ambitious Japan will yet learn that both personal and national greatness is not so much as to what the other fellow thinks of you as what you really are. A person or a nation is really great, grand and good when it so lives as to merit such favors and other persons and nations are bound to recognize those facts sooner or later and will do so more cheerfully when left to do it of their own sweet will and be far more lasting than when compelled to do so by main force and violence. Justice David F. Brewer of the supreme court before the People's Forum last Sunday in New York said: "The life of this nation depends upon the rearing of men and women, who will be just and honest. Men who will fairly and squarely meet their obligations. The mania to be rich has made men and women money mad and in that state the men of the age too often lose sight of their personal obligations, in other words, fail to pay their honest debts." Here is a sermon in a nut shell and should be preached every Sunday throughout this land of Get Rich Quick. There is no imminent danger of the world's coal supply being exhausted in either five thousand or five million years unless more of it is mined than is now being done. Seattle and Spokane each have a heartless boy murderer that is on trial for his life, and, strange to say, both of them are working the insanity dodge over time in order to escape the gallows. The scenes in the two court rooms are both gruesome and pathteic and yet neither boy does not seem moved one way or the other over them. What human monstrisities. Christmas holiday week begins next Monday evening, bringing with it a flood of festive occasions. General Prosperity's presence has been with us during the year now rapidly drawing to a close, which means that a great majority of us have the wherewith to not only make ourselves and our immediate families happy, but all others who will visit our hospitable homes, and all with hearts full and overflowing will or should join in singing, "Peace on earth, good will to men." Seattle's Carnegie library was dedicated last Wednesday evening and it was a proud day for Miss Seattle. Notwithstanding the fact that the library is due to the benevolence of Andrew Carnegie the casual observer of the building would not be aware of that fact. Instead of Seattle's Public Library inscribed thereon it would have been more appropriate to have had Seattle's Carnegie Library. 1. fage 2 When the King county legislative delega- tion threw its support to Hon. A. J. Falknor of Everett for speaker of the house the die was cast and Mr. Falknor is as good as elected and that too without having to in any way tie himself up as to committee ap- pointments. Representative Falknor is fear- less, bold and aggressive and it is here pre- dicted that he will lay the political founda- tion while occupying the position as speaker SE LES “ a ig Reesa ese i Cede Py hee WILL E. HUMPHREY. thta will either land him in the gubernatorial chair of this state or in a congressional seat, or perhaps both. In Snohomish county he is a big factor in the political affairs and if he is supported by Sam Nichols he will con- trol the county and go to the next state con- vention with her endorsement for something at its hand. * * * Said a well known King county politician one day this week: ‘‘If Jack Falknor makes good as speaker of the house of repre- sentatives of the next legislature, and I sin- eerely believe he will, he is absolutely cer- tain of being the next Republican nominee for governor. He is popular and would have the support of the Tacoma dailies, the Post- Intelligencer and in all human probability the Spokesman-Review. If he got the en- dorsement of his own county and there seems to be no doubt of that, the balance of the Northwest would support him and with the leading dailies supporting him his nomina- tion would be assured from the very outset. a ae It is being whispered among the Repub. licans of Seattle that the Hon. Will E. Hum- phrey will not be a candidate to sueceed himself, thus voluntarily surrendering the congressional toga that was handed him some six years ago. If the rumor should prove well founded then there will be something doing at once. Senator Piles will want to throw the nomination to Frank H. Brownell to pay off past obligations and if he can control King county she will endorse his de- sires. By that time Kenneth Mackintosh will be ready to step down and out of the prosecuting attorney’s office and he is a candidate for Humphrey’s toga and will be backed by the Seattle Daily Times and its newspaper chain. Mr, Mackintosh has the sinews of war which are necessary in a bat- tle for ballots and were it not that he will be pushed by the Times he would stand some show of success. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN “In speaking of men to succeed Will E, Humphrey in case he is not a candidate I am not too sure,’’? said a prominent politi- cian, ‘‘that ex-Mayor R. A. Ballinger will not aspire for the honor. Mr. Ballinger makes and holds friends and I believe he is the most popular public man in Seattle today. I feel certain he is not averse to having this honor thrust upon him and I further feel that the leading politieal workers of Seattle are in- clined to thrust it on to him if they ever get an opportunity to do so.”’ “ Seott Calhoun, the present corporation counsel of Seattle, also has a longing eye on that toga ard being one of the most popu- lar young men in the city would make an interesting serap should he decide to cross political swords with both Piles and Mack- intosh. Two years ago Calhoun was talkea of for the nomination in opposition to Hum- phrey, but he finally coneluded he could wait and did so. That he will have to be reck- oned with is a foregone conelusion. * *. * The state senate is now organized against Lieutenant Governor Charles E. Coon, but will let him down easy if he is inclined to ac- cept the situation gracefully. It is learned from the independents that the anti-Coon senators will perfect their organization and hand the lieutenant governor the names ot the various committeemen he is to appoint, and also hand to him the rules by which that body will be governed during the pres- ent session. If he accepts them and acts accordingly nothing will appear on the sur- face showing that he is not ‘‘It,’”’ but if he shows any rebellious spirit then he will hear something drop like a forty ton gun. * * * A man who ‘‘contro!s 200 votes’’ whether he be minister or layman, has a great respon- sibility resting upon him and should study the situation with care lest in the light of the returns his actions appear inconsistent, if not worse, and his ‘‘control’”’ shrink about 100 woten —ERx_ 4% | i i rs oe I ( kas at : pat ek gees evn Marae anal cae Ee ee KENNETH MACKINTOSH. December 21 1906 The man who is able to control 200 votes and can show the two Georges in the next state election and especially in certain sena- torial districts need neyer work any more, but live off the interest of his money. Senator Piles can, with but little effort. take a double dose of hysteria, if somebody. in the state of Washington happens to do something which does not please the Seattle statesman. His latest ebullition was made publie through the Sunday Times, the sena- tor’s official organ. The recent exhibition of mental jim-jams was caused by a number of legislators joining in an attempt to de- prive Lieut. Goy. Coon of his official pre- rogatives in appointing the senate commit- tees. In this movement Mr. Piles sees danges threatening the A. Y. P. E. appropriation before the Federal Congress; he sees all hope of Alaskan territorial government shatter- ed; new uprisings in the Philippines and a fresh revolution in Venezuela. While I can see no reason why Governor Coon should be disturbed, having made an excellent presid- ing officer, I see no cause why Senator Samuel H. Piles should chip into everything of a political nature which occurs in this state, claiming that this act or that move- ment or this appointment, or that dismissal is ‘‘inimical to his interests.’’ Possibly it might be wise to disband the Legislature, adjourn Congress and permit the junior sen- ator to return to his home and boss the state. With the aid of the Times he may yet save the state of Washington. In the meantime let us hang Booth, Ruth, Paulha- mus, Gunn and other reconcentradoes, that Piles may flourish undisturbed in his new- made principality, This tempest in a teapot is the result of an idea entertained by members of the state senate that the extraordinary powers dele- gated to the presiding officer of the upper house was not conducive of the best interests of the people generally as in making up the important committees it was always found that certain powerful corporations were. through favorable committees, enabled to delay, cripple, if not actually thwart, the ex- pressed wishes of the voters. They also see the danger to which the direct primary bili will be subjected in case an unfavorable or unsympathetic committee is given charge of the measure. In line and sympathy with the direct primary bill, Mr. Booth and his eol- leagues urge that the business of the senate ean be more effectively handled if the com- mittees are chosen by a majority of the body. Keeping in view as well as the fitness of the individuals for the work to. be per- formed by them, Mr. Booth and his friends claim, with a show of justice, that this ae- tion is not an innoyation or revolutionary in its nature, but on the contrary, is in direct December 21, 1906 line with the direct primary principles. After all has been said, I can see no reason why the lieutenant governor's "prerogatives" should stand in the way with more satisfactory methods of legislation, nor can I understand why purer politics and less dark lantern jpggling should prove disastrous to the continuance of Mr. Piles in the seante of the United States, provided he learns in time that he can afford to trust the voters who have put their faith in the junior senator. Old Politician in King County News. EDITORIAL. Count de Castellane is about to catch another suckeress equally as silly as one Anna Gould. The new catch has a $75,000,000 fortune which she proposes to lavish on the little shrimp in order to use his name to break into the society of royal rogues. What fools we mortals be. It is claimed that 100,000 working men are wanted in the Northwest at once. Well, should they come and do no more than the thousands of laborers who hang about the various employment offices looking for snaps, it would be just as well if they did not come at all. Before the United States takes it onto herself to even inquire about Leopold's attrocities in the Congo she should first stop the attrocities in her own Southland, at which, we suspect, Leopold himself would blush with human shame. When Judge Goff ruled it was no infraction of the law to hug a girl on the doorstep many a man heaved a sigh of relief. "Hawaii needs no more troops," comes from the war department, which is an indication that our government authorities are taking little or no stock in the Japanese war talk. Mrs. Bradley, who killed ex-Senator Brown, simply had courage enough to do with her own hands what a great majority of the women wait for their fathers or brothers to do for them. Mrs. Bradley is the "new woman" and the juryman that will vote to convict her ought to never again be spoken to by a woman, Editor Clayson and his Patriarch to the contrary notwithstanding. "There is a square deal in this valley for every one," says the Hover Sunshine. Is that a new kind of watermellon or a new breed of chickens that that valley is producing? We anxiously await your answer, my dear brother. It is said that the Union Pacific system has taken up 30,000 passes on account of the rate bill. With such an army of parasites it can be readily seen how Harriman in the past directed legislation in both legislatures and city councils. In the future only the "almighty dollar" will be able to do the work, Mr. H., and you had better begin to dig up. --- T E SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name not provided] SCOTT CALHOUN. "Murder was not the worst crime committed by Chester Gillette," says the P.-I That's right, but the other crime he committed is not considered a crime by a great majority of our latter day young men, and had he not murdered the young girl he would have been lionized by "sawciety" even with the full knowledge of the other crime he committed. Besides the immense fortune left by J. M. Coleman, the Seattle pioneer, he also left a legacy to the world in his two sons, who are God's noblemen. Lawrence Coleman for integrity, honesty, straightforwardness and "all men up," has not a superior under heaven's broad canopy. Dana Gibson has been offered large sums of money to do black and white work for several London publishers, but has refused each offer. Among other things Gibson is studying types of English beauty which he will incorporate in a volume now in preparation. It means a great deal in life to be situated, from a financial standpoint so as to follow the bend of one's own inclinations in mapping out life's duties. The greater per cent of mankind; however, must serve under the reign of the "Almighty Dollar," finding comfort in promptly executing present duties to the best of their ability regardless of the fact that they are no where in keeping with what would be prompted by the heart's secret desire.

J. M. Webb lectured for an hour and twenty minutes before The Forum last Sunday afternoon at its regular meeting on "The Origin of the Negro," and if only half he said of the race is correct the black people had no right to be ashamed of their early history. He quoted liberally from the Bible as to their geniology and from a Biblical standpoint quite proved his case. Mr. Webb from time to time has asserted that Jesus Christ was of the black race and he calls on the Bible itself to bear him out in his contentions. The house was crowded to its very doors and they gave him their careful attention. While the subject is by no means a living issue and whether his contentions are or are not true will lend no aid whatever to the winning of the great battle of life in which the Negro of this age is forced to engage for an existence; nevertheless, it was a pleasing diversion from former programs and an enjoyable rest from the living issues of the day over which the public mind is so much exercised in its effort to settle in an amicable way to all concerned. A musical program had been arranged for the occasion but on account of the length of the lecture was for the most part dispensed with. Mr. Waldrom, however, rendered a correct solo and Mrs. J. B. Nelson a vocal solo. At the call of W. M. J. Wylie a number of ladies and gentlemen held a short meeting at the close of the Forum to form a sub-organization with the object of furnishing the Forum from time to time with vocal music. At a subsequent meeting the following officers were elected: President, W. M. J. Wylie; secretary, Mrs. Jesse Thompson; treasurer, Miss Ida Hayes; leader, C. H. Harvey. It was dedicated as the Mozart Musical Club. The club purposes to sing for the Emancipation exercises the evening of January 1st. The program for next Sunday, December 3rd, will be as follows: Paper, by Mr. J. B. Reed; paper, by Miss Alma J. Clark; recitation, by Mr. John Ritter; instrumental solo, by Mrs. Peoples, and vocal solos by Mrs. J. B. Nelson and Miss Ida Hayes. The following Sunday, December 30th, the last Sunday of this year, a general speaking meeting will be held in which it is hoped that all present will take an interesting part. The subject that will be talked on is: Do you know of anything in which the Negro in Seattle can engage in the coming year different from what he is now engaged that will benefit him financially and otherwise. For the occasion the program committee has been promised that Prof. W. M. Holly, the banjo king, and his guitar accompanist, Mr. D. B. Washington, will favor the Forum with a number of selections. Other musicians of note will be present. Afro-Americanism Rev. J. M Webb, an evangelist of Seattle declared in a public lecture that it was the black man that rocked the cradle of civilization in early Biblical history, and from black blood sprang the Lord God of host. If in [Name] ELDER J. M. WEBB, Who Believes Jesus Christ Is from the Black Race. the past the black man has done all this is it not common sense to think "what man has done man can do." Flora Batson Burgess, who has been styled the queen of song, and who for the past twenty odd years has enchanted men and women by the thousands both in America and Europe, died some two weeks ago. For the past five years she has been doing concert work under the management of Girard Miller, who himself is a most talented vocalist. Senator Morgan of Alabama in speaking of the Democratic party not long since declared that "it was a white man's party." The black men of the United States are not inclined to argue the question with the doty old mossback, but after all they have never known of very many "white" men affiliating with the Democratic party.

Phone Main 305 December 21. 1906 Congressman John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, who attributes the South's rapid industrial development to the disfranchisement of the Afro-American, urges as a solution of the so-called "Negro problem," the importing of white laborers into the South, and the scattering of Afro-Americans over the North. He is not near so correct in this view as he is in his characterization of his opponent as a candidate for the United States senate, Gov. Vardaman, as a monomaniac on the repeal of the 15th amendment to the federal constitution. As between the two candidates the little preference favors Williams simply because he has been in the congress long enough to see the ridiculousness of certain statements relative to the Afro-American and his rights made by such individuals as Vardaman, Tillman, Graves, Hoke Smith and their kind," so says the Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette. We have always maintained that the scattering of the black man of this country would be the only means of settling the strife between the whites and blacks. The West could use thousands of the black folk of the South at fabulous wages in comparison to what they get down there if the whites would permit agents to go down there and bring them away. Yes, let millions of Europeans flock to the South and end that everlasting trouble down there. Afro-American Voters in Chicago are planning to nominate a full municipal ticket for the spring election. The defeat of Fred L. Barnett by the Republicans, when the balance of the ticket was elected almost by countless pluralities, has prompted this political coupe de main. They are not inclined to go over to the Democratic party for that would be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. If, however, the voters stand by a ticket of their own naming it will result in the election of the Democratic ticket, but with such a Democratic nominee for mayor as the present mayor of Chicago, the thing for them to do is to vote direct for him, and show him that they appreciate him for his manly stand in their behalf. Washington Writes—Writing to the New York World Prof. Booker T. Washington used these words: "From several points of view I regret that conditions are such as to keep the attention of the Negro race centered so largely upon itself. It is with a race as with an individual—when it is continually thinking about and discussing its own grievance it is likely to become narrow and self-centered. I mean it is unfortunate for an individual or a race when the subjective side of life is continually before it. I am not blaming the race for giving attention to itself in the manner in which it does, but I am expressing a hope that the race in the future will be in a position to take interest in questions other than the wrongs and injustices inflicted upon it." It is to be regretted that a class of people living in a highly civilized Christian country forced to be always discussing ways and means for life and liberty rather than the pursuits of health and happiness, as do all other classes in the same country. If such be Christianity then as little Christianity as possible is the thing desired. December 21, 19) 6 Fools Fight—While discussing the actions of the president in ordering the black sol- diers discharged from the service without honor in Portland, Oregon, the participants became so intoxicated with their subject that they wanted to fight each other instead of the war department. Great questions can not be settled by resoluting, hence whatever is said is only a matter of individual opin- jon and will have little, if any, bearing on the final disposition of the case. By the Wayside. Seattle is to be quite up to date, ‘‘dontyou- know,’’ when she gets her portable black- smith shop to attend the needs of the city fire stations. Economical too, by gum! tI is said that General Booth, head of the Salvation Army, and his son, head of the Volunteers of America, are expected to make peace with each other. It is no more than the world expects, bearing in mind their vo- eations in life. Never before in the history of the city was there such a sea of books to claim attention from the Xmas shopper’s wallet. Talk about “he who runs may read,’’ he who lives in Seattle will have to read if one half of the stores dispose of the ‘‘literary gems’’ they have in stock. The Lincoln Park Baptist church in Cin- einnati, Ohio, has employed its pastor’s wife as his paid assistant. Her first month’s work shows that she had a very busy time of it. The idea strikes us as odd because, when we employ a minister we have grown accustomed to having the services of his wife ‘‘thrown in for good measure.’’ It is a fact that nearly all the best women speakers, and there are many orators among the sex now, talk without notes. Some men are mean enough to say a woman does not have to be an orator to talk without notes. Yes, and if some men’s wives did not talk without (bank) notes they would not talk at all. A beauty writer has been telling us how to rub away our Xmas wrinkle. There will be no small amount of wrinkle rubbing and gray hair “touching up up’’ too before we get all of the presents purehased for our relatives, who just have to be remembered. and our friends who expect to be, out of the sum total amount in our pocketbooks. Soup is said to be going out of fashion in France. Doctors have denounced it as to its usefulness as a nourishment and further de- elare it ruins the shape of the stomach. For the former reason men will drop it while for the latter reason women will shun it. Soup is yet fashionable to an extent on American tables, but if it should ever ‘‘go out’’ over there there’ll always be at least one in large dinner parties who gets ‘Cin the soup’ if the soup does not get into him.

E. Adams, recently sentenced to the penitentiary for a term of ten years for appropriating gold dust from the Seattle assay office, has written to a friend in this city for a pair of working gloves. The re- quest opens up quite an avenue for thought along humane lines. To suddenly throw a new unfortunate in with a gang of men doing the severest labor is to task him almost. past human endurance. American prisons stand greatly in need of reform in many ways. They are not places for comfort and repose but they should be so regulated that all hope of a better new life be not crushed out of the hearts of their inmates. The work of the prisons should be graduated and the general tone of the prison and prison life elevated. Men now confined in the New York state prison are no longer forced to go through the drill of the lock step, to wear striped clothing or to have their hair clipped. Another great reform has been the placing of glass windows in the prison walls. Since this was done the death rate has been re- duced 66 per cent and the death rate from tuberculosis 71 per cent. The question for each one to ask himself is, what do I know about the Washington state prison? It is so easy to let some things just drag on if we are not personally interested, Is it fair to our brother? Not long since three hundred men dashed into Princeton, Ky., and set fire to a large tobacco plant. They locked up the police and seized control of the water works until the fire had gained such headway that it could not be quenched. These despoilers claimed that they were being deprived of their livelihood by the Tobacco Trust, and they did not mean to stand for it. Theirs was a wicked, malicious piece of lawlessness which should, however, surprise no one. The people of Kentucky as well as the other Southern states have acquired the habit of taking the law into their own hands and to burn inanimate as well as animate things. It is in keeping with what they have schooled themselves up to. It will be only after a great effort that they can release themselves from this habit even when they have seen it return, boomarang like, and erush the feet of those who throw it. The college of medicine in the State Uni- versity of Iowa has inaugurated a plan whieh will doubtless be of much aid in anatomical study for the state high schools They are making sets of all the bones in the human body and sending them out in attractive hardwood cases. When put to- gether these bones will form an entire skele- ton which is to be considered as a loan col- lection for the study of physiology. We of today are getting it down pretty fine. Wa Page 5 are making artificial men and cutting up and sew ng together again real men. Some of us hav4 gone so far as to discover that in our bod es there are some things without which we could jive just as well—the appendix, for example, but the time has not yet come when we can put breath into, or prevent breath from leaving, a really truly man. So we are yet subordinate beings after all. If the great heaving impulses of publie opinion which sway the American people could be watched from some elevated view- point they would doubtless bear striking re- semblance, figuratively speaking, to the ever changing kaleidoscopes. For instance, the terestial dwellers of one century spend a lifetime talking about, convincing the need of, and erecting sky scrapers so that better tenement houses and roomier business offices may be had. These buildings are erected, not sky high, but to dazzling heights, and their promoters not far if yet removed from the days of their usefulness when distant rumblings of a war on sky scrapers is au- dible. An advanced thinker urges that American tenements are superior buildings but they deprive the very people which they benefit in one way from fresh air, proper ventilation, and from man’s friend and the ‘white plague’s’’ deadliest enemy—sun- shine.

The piece is a novelty in the way of Scandinavian drama, in that the leading character is a young Sweedish girl. The fair sex has been somewhat slighted by the constructors of Anglo-Sweedish dramas heretofore. Several successful plays of this class have been before the public but the heroes of these plays have hitherto been of the sterner sex. "Tilly" will undoubtedly prove a quaint and interesting tye of stage creation. The scenes of the new comedy are laid in the Northwest, and the story has to do with the tribulations of a daughter of Scandinavia while serving in the capacity of a "charity domestic" in the family of some Minnesota farmer folk. Fortune comes to the fair young Sweedish girl later and her career is crowned by her marriage to the man she loved during the days of her adversity. A fine scenic equipment will be provided for the new play and a company of unusual excellence is promised. SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION.
