Coon committees in the senate of the tenth legislature don't go. See? Not running the legislature, Colonel? Well, too bad, but it must be a sad disappointment to you. "Listen and Learn," says the editor of the Times. What a pity the eruptive public opinion moulder does not practice what he preaches. Bryan's enquiry as to the car shortage was so unexpected that empty cars were instantly strung along the track from Olympia to Tacoma. President Roosevelt has received a hearty Southern support in the Brownsville riot debate in the senate and thus "birds of a feather flock together." It may be a bit out of the ordinary, but many of the members of the tenth legislature of this state talk as though they were as full as goats on local option. Cold comfort may not always be a welcome visitor, but even now when the severe cold weather is no more, no one objects to coal comfort by the wagon load. "The snow, the beautiful snow" may be highly poetic, but the rain, the never ceasing rain, is what brings health and happiness to the Puget Sound aquarian. Former Gov. John H. McGraw is at the National Capitol endeavoring to get an extra appropriation for the lake Washington Canal and it is hoped he will be successful. Hunters are still falling by the wayside from accidental shots of guns in the hands of other hunters. The opening of the hunting season always means a harvest of human souls. Wilson, Ross, Frater and Thomson would all do the "colonel" an everlasting favor if they would get off the face of the earth—that is, go to the jumping off place and then "move on." Oil is thicker than water and that SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON JANUARY 25, 1907. probably explains why Bailey was re-elected to to the United States senate from Texas despite the ugly stories that were publicly told about him and the Standard Oil company. [Picture of a man in a suit with a high collar and tie]. HON. E. B. PALMER. Whose cup of joy doth verily run over on account of Insurgent success. About all that can be reported of the Chester Thomson case is "it is dragging on," whether this "dragging on" will sooner or later drag Chester to the scaffold is the all absorbing question with the attorneys in the case. Unless we mistake our guess the Walters-Moore appointees controversy will soon come to a head. So soon as the mayor refuses to sign Walters' salary warrant then into court the mayor goes, then who is who will soon be found out. With Roland B. Molineux reporting the Thaw trial for the yellow journals it reminds the heads of families that they would do well to not have such papers taken into their homes. Was brazen bragadocia blauguardism more conspicuous? Bidden to Ball, is a P.-I. head line referring to those having received invitations to the legislative ball at Olympia, and yet if any of the guests should bawl while in the hall he or she would be pronounced as rude as a Camanche Indian—the very thing he was bidden there to do. Its a step in the right direction in offering an amendment to the Constitution making the Federal government paramount in all state questions involving treaty rights with foreign countries. No state should be permitted to override the general government, or the whole is a mass of inconsistency. With the Southern Colonels daily throwing boquets at President Roosevelt and with him lauding Robert E. Lee to the seventh magnitude, it would seem that an admiration society has been organized with APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. Roosevelt as president and the colonels as claquers. Since January, 1907, the fellow with "a lead pipe cinch," spells his profession, "plum mer." Railroad Commissioner McMillin has heard of a man who is sojourning in Olympia that spells his name "Paul h am u s." Out of every 1,000 children born in New York'City 223 of them die in infancy and a lack of pure milk is the alleged cause of the appalling loss of infant life. Millions are starving in China, says a "yellow" head line. Wonder if those millions are starving like Seattle's thousands were freezing? If they are then there is nothing to it. Chester Thomson's trial will cost King county $20,000 says a head line. Chester can have the satisfaction of knowing that others besides his dad have had to blow themselves on him. With Judge Frater sustained, R. H. Thomson moving on in the even tenor of his way and the Hon. John L. Wilson "in the saddle," the editor of the Swillbarrel must be in a bad old way. - Misther Maloney now realizes the full significance of being a thing "in your mind'", since he is superintendent of streets in Seattle only "in his mind." He doubtless got mixed in the position he wanted and asked for a superintendent's job instead of a policeman's pay. Five years in the pen for tax dodging would be an awful tax on the nerves of those fellows who make splendin wages every year tax dodging. In other words, making false statements as to the true value of their taxable possessions. The idea is a good one and ought to be pushed along. One, W. P. McElwain, a well known Seattle pessimist, who got snow bound on his way East, wrote to a local paper to the effect that, the train's delay was due to the incompetent crew. Their incompetency was doubtless their inability to change the atmospheric conditions or perhaps further still plug up the snow hole. A conductor, who jumped from a runaway car, and was promptly discharged by an inspector, believed in the old adage, "a good run is better than a bad stand." The fellow can get another job just as lucrative, while it would be utterly impossible for him to get a new life had he stayed at his post and got killed, although "God hates a coward." ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` [Name not visible in the image] Who for ten years represented this state in one or the other branches of Congress. He was defeated for re-election to the Senate in 1899, and after the following March retired to private life. He subsequently bought the P-I., which he has operated ever since. According to the Daily Times, of Seattle, he is again in the political saddle of this state, being the power behind the throne with both Gov. Mead and the Tenth Legislature. There are few men in the state that would fill the position of railroad ocommissioner better than the Hon. John McGraw and it is to be regretted that he refused the proffered honor. Dr. Williamson, the insanity expert who admitted after all that Chester Thompson might have been insane at the time he shot Mead Emory, though for hours and days he had testified for the state that he was not insane, was probably in the same condition as the patriot, who, when questioned as to his feelings replied, "What's the matter with me. I talk to damn much. THE WORLD'S GOLD PRODUCTION The recent estimate of the United States Mint Director that during the next 20 years the world's gold production will average $400,000,000 per annum stands in marked contrast to the flurry and sensation which were created 15 years ago by the predictions of a German professor that, because of certain geological conditions, the world's gold supplies are limited, and that soon we would have to submit to regularly diminishing yields, thus causing industrial and financial depressions of perhaps unparalleled severity. The effects of the comparative abundance or scarcity of this metal are admitted to be far-reaching, for it has now become the standard of value of the civilized world, and it is in terms of gold that finance and commerce literally think and live. World-wide statistics tending to show that the supply of this metal is practicably inexhaustible have been collected and form the basis of a valuable and interesting article by A. SelwynBrown in the November number of Moody's Magazine. Recent estimates of the world's gold output in modern times places the United States first, with a total output of $2,860 854,000. Next in line, and only one-third of a billion less, stands Australasia, in which country gold was not discovered until 1850. Russia, including Siberia, ranks third, with an output of $1,434,679,000. In the year 1905, the world's gold output of $379,000,000 surpassed all previous records, showing an increase of nearly $30,000,000, or 8.8 per cent. above that of 1904. North America led with $118,000,-000, then Africa with $113,000,000 and Australasia with $85,000,000. In our own country the past year's output has broken all records. Colorado leads first with $25000,000, and next comes California with $19,000,000. Alaska's output of $14,000,000 shows an increase of more than 50 per cent. over the year preceding, and the 1906 yield is estimated at $20,000,000. Nevada, We carry thp greatest line of Pianos in the world. which is again coming rapidly to the fron produced nearly $5,000,000. In British Columbia and the Yukon gold production has been important, and many of the rivers in northwestern Canada are rich in auriferous sand and gravel beds awaiting the development of the gold dredging industry. Mexico's output of $14,000,000 shows an increase of 40 per cent. over that of $1903, and the rapid introduction of railroads in that country insures a steady increase of gold from that source. The yield in South America is small at present, only $11,000,000, Brazil, Chile, and the three Guianas being the leading producers. It is a well established fact, however, that both flanks of the Andes and its subsidiary ranges are rich in gold bearing veins, and investors are only waiting for the extension and improvement of transportation facilities. Russia and Siberia produce about $22000,000 but the Urals and the mountains in the southeastern section will yield rich returns to mining operations. The rest of Asia yields about $24,000,000, half of which is from British-India, China and Japan contributing about $4,500,000 each.. The yield in Africa during the past statistical year was $90,000,000. The Transvaal mines are having a temporary setback due to coolie labor.

"The gold-bearing areas of Australasia are beyond comparison greater than in any other country." The mining operations there are as yet in their infancy, vast auriferous areas being as yet untouched; yet in 55 years of her history she has produced almost as much gold as the United States in 113 years, "and this with an amount of capital which sinks into insignificance when compared with the immense amount invested in the development of the American gold fields." In 1905 the output was $60,000.000.—Review of Reviews.

It does not pay to be so cheap.—Outlook. There was once a funeral in Nebraska and the preacher who had been asked to deliver the eulogy was a stranger in town and did not know the departed sister. So, after he had said all he could, he suggested that if anybody else could say a few words about the poor dead lady it would be well. Three or four made appropriate remarks. Then there was a pause. At last the old brother arose and said: ‘‘Well, if we are all through speaking about the departed sister, I will now make a few brief remarks on the tariff.’’ A thief broke into a millionaire’s mansion early the ‘other morning and found himself in the music room.

There is hardly any doubt but that the Regulars in the last session of the legislature went entirely too far in punishing Senators who would not fall in with their ways by being good fellows, but the Insurgents' pendulum has swung as far out of the way the other direction, and two wrongs never makes a right. It's always sweet revenge to down you opponent, but it is cowardly to kick him when he is down. Had the Insurgents have tempered justice with mercy their organization would have gained recruits even from the Regulars, for a new political deal is being demanded from all sections of the state just now. No one seems troubled over the coming senatorial contests, but they want a new deal which will enable the people and not the politicians to run the parties of the state. * * * "Yea, verily, my cup of joy doth run over. The cup of humiliation from which I was forced to drink at the last session of the legislature has been handed to some of those who fiddled while I drank its bitter contents, and my heart rejoiceth as their contorted faces give evidences of their inner sufferings. With such a reward, and so soon thereafter, I simply forget that it ever happened to me," said ex-State Senator E. B. Palmer one day this week. With not an inkling as to what was in store for him, Senator Palmer took his seat in the Senate of the Ninth Legislature with high hopes. He had been promised the majority support on the floor and he was the administration leader, but, like a clap of thunder from a clear sky, an overwhelming majority of his fellow senators humiliated him and left him supported by not to exceed a half dozen votes. He had been promised the chairmanship of the judiciary committee, and that, too, was rudely taken from him. He was pursued to his home and the same influence beat him for re-election. To rejoice at one's downfall may not be the proper thing, but it is difficult for one under Senator Palmer's circumstances to feel any different than what he does. \* \* \* When the evening Swillbarrel says that the reason the Insurgents took forcible possession of the Senate was to prevent State Land Commissioner Ross' office from being investigated, it speaks as falsely as well as foolishly, as it did when it editorially declared on the day of an election that "If William McKinley is on this day elected president of the United States the days of the republic are numbered; for he will declare himself an absolute dictator and free speech will be a thing of the past." Mr. Ross invites investigation at the hands of either a legislative committee or at the hands of the whole legislature, if it feels so inclined. Not only has Mr. Ross no fears of an investigation at the hands of a legislative committee, but he is equally willing to have his books carefully gone over by experts. The Swillbarrel has done a good deal of hollering about Soap Lake, claiming there was crooked work on the part of Mr. Ross for the benefit THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN of Senator Palmer. There is not a grain of truth in a word it says about the re-lease of Soap Lake. The man had the lake and land leased from the state, and at the expiration of his lease made application to release, but Mr. Ross, under a new law, refused to either lease or sell to him, whereupon he went into court and secured a writ of mandamus from Judge O. V. Linn, compelling him (Ross) to re-lease the lake and the lands to the former leasees. The state land commissioner is only human, and of course he followed the instructions of the court, which thing the editor of the Swillbarrel would not do, judging from the court records of Minneapolis, Minnesota. * * * That William Jennings Bryan is a most charming, yea, truly eloquent talker, even the members of the legislature now unhesitatingly admit, and that is admitting a good deal for men who love to spout as well as many of them do. In his address before the legislature he said many things which quite coincided with many of the views of the members thereof, Republicans though they be, and which for the time being they loudly applauded. The people all over the United States verily believe Mr. Bryan is a very able and forcible character, but they lose interest in his sayings when they are forced to realize that everything he says or does in a public way is done with two objects; one with the hope it will make him president of the United States, and the other for the money he gets for saying it. In other words, Mr. Bryan uses his greatness for self-aggrandizement and mercenary interest for himself. Three times now have the citizens of this country been forced to pay the expenses of William Jennings Bryan to make presidential campaigns, and they are not to blame when they show a lack of interest in his political mouthings. It will be a sorry day for this country when W. J. Bryan assumes the duties of the presidency; the days of Great Grover would pale into complete insignificance in comparison. * * * Senatorial politics may be figuring more or less in the proceedings of the Tenth Legislature, but the Pie-Maker has not been able to discover it as yet. If the legislature passes the direct primary law, which seems highly probable, nothing the present members may do in the way of forming combinations will have any effect on who will be elected United States senators two and four years from now. With the direct primary law in effect those nominations as well as all others, will be up to the people to decide. Despite this, however, an old-time politician was heard to remark one day this week that "every move made by the Insurgents was done with the view of influencing senatorial politics. In other words, it was a slap at Senators Ankeny and Piles. Not only that, but it means that ex-Senator John L. Wilson is again in the saddle in this state. The Ankeny papers have declared the direct primary law was a Wilson move so much that people really believe that he (Wilson) is responsible for the reform and he will reap the political benefit of its passage. I know he has announced the candidacy of the Hon. W. L. Jones to succeed Senator Ankeny, but with the reins of the party in his hands he would forget all about having made such a statement and would select some one more to his liking, which might be B. D. Crocker or George H. Baker." * * * Will the legislature divide the state into congressional districts? is the political question of the hour. The entire delegation in Congress from this state, notwithstanding the last Republican convention, went on record as recommending it, yea, made a party pledge that it would be done, and their friends in the legislature will not work for its passage and may even openly oppose it. There is no excuse for this, for the state of Washington is overwhelmingly Republican, and, separated into three districts, a solid Republican delegation in Congress would be as absolutely certain as when they are all elected at large. "It's not so much that our present representatives in Congress fear that Republicans will not be elected as they fear if not all of them would fall short of election," said a well-known Republican politician. The Pie-Maker verily believes that in congressional districts the Republican pluralities would be even larger than under the at-large system. So far as the present representatives' future is concerned, if they are not popular they will go down before the direct primary law whether at-large or in separate districts. The party should keep its pre-election promises. The party made its campaign with the congressional districting of the state as one of the planks of the platform, and it should redeem every one of its pledges regardless of who it helps or hurts. * * * Repeatedly within the past year has The Seattle Republican called the public's attention to the fact that John S. McMillin was nothing more nor less than a salary drawer as a member of the state railroad commission, and it took the senate committee on railroads but a few hours after getting down to cases to discover that the Pie-Maker had been barking up the right tree, and one good shake of that tree by Chairman Paulhamus bagged the game. As soon as bagged, McMillin was asked to resign from the commission, which at first blush he indignantly refused to do, but when he got sight of Senator Paulhamus' joker up his sleeves he wilted like green foliage before a fire and resigned sine die instanter. Of the dead let no evil be said; we therefore refrain from further comment. Now, if Chairman Paulhamus will only give that bush another vigorous shake he will bag more game in the shape of a fair child, which as a railroad commissioner is long on salary but very short on actual service. During the entire life of the railroad commission Commissioner J. C. Lawrence is the only one of the three that seems to have even desired to give the state value received for the $4,000 salary per annum which he drew. The Seattle Daily Swillbarrel editorially declares that the Hon. John L. Wilson brought about McMillin's overthrow, but this is no greater prevarication than that sheet daily publishes about anyone and everything that it writes about, and since no one takes it serious the Wilson part of the program may be eliminated without so much as giving it a passing thought. AFRO=AMERICANISM "Well, what do you think," came from an excited fellow as he pushed into a lunch room at Olympia and fell into the first vacant chair he saw, which was by the side of Gen. G. W. His Tibbetts, one of the members Dinner of the house from King county Being a stranger to the excited gentleman, the General declined to think. "Well, I had just ordered my dinner at a restaurant up the street, and in walked a big black nigger and took a seat at the table, and, I tell you, I left that restaurant on short order." "Well, my friend," deliberately began Gen. Tibbets, "do you not think you were unduly particular? The man did not differ from you, except his skin was black, and he had to eat somewhere and with somebody. On this subject I might have entertained similar views to your own had not one thing happened to bring about a change in my life. When I was in the great civil war, at a particular time, a fierce battle was raging and a certain point was to be stormed by the Union soldiers. In front of the regiment to which I was attached there was a Negro regiment. The command 'charge' was given, and with the bravery of the devil those black men rushed into that fort, followed by the white men. The blacks were mowed down by the rebel bullets, and I, with the whole regiment, was awfully glad to have those black men in front of us to receive the deadly bullets, instead of ourselves. As I pushed along over their dead bodies a friendship took root in my heart for the black man that has continued to grow, and his presence, whether at a table or not, never gives me an unpleasant feeling." Speaking about colored soldiers, a naval recruiting officer while recently discussing the Brownsville riot said: "There is never any trouble in the navy Army with the Negro enlisted Draws men. The men, without Color Line regard to color, complexion or former nationality, Army Draws Color Line are on equal footing, and the Negro tars are no harder to control than the whites. They are promoted the same as whites and they seem to thoroughly enjoy their duties." In the opinion of the writer the key to the whole trouble with the Negro soldier has been sounded in that brief interview. There should be no Negro regiments in our army. It is a relic of barbarism and a breeder of race riots, both in and out of the army. The war department says it knows no soldier by his color, but by his record and capability, and yet it distinctly says that black men cannot become members of companies with white men, thus drawing the color line even more drastically than the most Tillmanic Southerner. The black man is patriotic and loyal and makes as good a soldier as the white man, and if the government desires and needs his services it should stand him right up alongside the white soldiers, EHE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and this done it could say without fear of successful contradiction that it knew not its soldiers by their color. So long as there are regiments of black soldiers just so long will there be friction in army circles and disturbances in towns near posts where these black soldiers are quartered. The back man of this country is neither responsible for his color nor his social condition, and no one knows that any better than the white man; and He's it is almost time, knowing Not this, that he quit kicking Responsible about the inferiority of the black man. Among the black man. Among all other classes of human beings, except those descended from black parents or parent, the good ones are seperated frnm the bad ones and given an equal show for existence. With regard to the black man the white man is too much inclined to apply that vulgar street vernacular, "All Coons Look Alike to Me," and that is the worst exaggerated phrase ever coined, for the white men of the United States have seen to it that no two black men look alike, and in substantiation of this, an assemblage of black folk almost resemble the colors of the rainbow—it at least is an aggregation of all shades and hues. There is no incentive for the man with Negro blood in him, in the United States, to aspire to be a man, for he no sooner walks into an assemblage of white men than he is placed on a par with the bootblack, the porter or the most inferior type of "jim crow" darkey. The lawyer, doctor or banker with Negro blood in his veins, is entertainby some white man about "Darkey Pete" or "Black Mammy" with more ego and self-satisfaction than he would about Senators Revels ro Bruce or a Prof. DuBois. "Did you know Tom? No? Well, he was a colored man and used to black my boots, and a fine boy was he," is a freequent question and comment by some white man speaking to a Negro attorney, doctor or well-to-do Negro man. The Negro in question might have been one of God's noblemen, but he was not in the lawyer's class, and it is humiliating to be indirectly classed with this noble bootblack. If a black man has merit, push and pluck in him, extend to him the right hand of fellowship and do not give him the marble heart because he is not a bootblack or a "jim crow coon." The article below, taken from The Tacoma Ledger, is reproduced because it shows how hard the black man is trying to be somebody in the face of Blacks bitter opposition on the part Building of those who should be Character leading him onward and upward to a higher and better life: "As a reply to some hot-headed critics of the Vardeman-Tillman stripe, Booker T.

The most remarkable feature of this report is Dr. Washington's statement that he has been unable to find a single Tuskegee graduate who has ever been convicted of crime in either a federal or state court. The meaning of this statement is that the founder and builder of Tuskegee has been phenomenally successful in developing the moral sense among a people not noted for respect of law or for high ideals. His appeal to their self-respect, his demand that his students should show that a Negro can win a deserved standing in the community, has produced results that mark Washington as one of the foremost educators of his time. Commenting on the absence of crime among the Tuskegee graduates—a record by the way that probably could not be duplicated by the graduate roll of the average college for the white youth—the New York Evening Post says: "Of such a record any institution might be proud; it is the best answer to the unenlightened whites of the South who still believe that education 'harms' the Negro. If he had reported 25 per cent. of criminality, there would still be reason for his carrying on his work; that he is able to show so clean a record is more than ever a reason why his hands should be strengthened, North and South. Dr. Washington is confident that what is true of Tuskegee is practically true of the other industrial schools for his race in the South. Certainly Hampton has as fine a record. To his statement, the principal of Tuskegee has appended a list of his graduates and ex-students who are now residing in Montgomery, (Alabama), city or county. Of 110 such graduates or students who can be traced, all are engaged in respectable and profitable enterprises. They represent twenty-five professions and trades, there being twenty-two carpenters, six blacksmiths, nine teachers, eleven farmers, seven clerks, eight masons and bricklayers, etc. Most of these 110 own their own homes and other property. Surely, no one can deny that these worthy colored people are an excellent asset for their community. The only pity is that there are not 1,100 instead of 110." Sir Swettenham, governor general of Jamacia, must have thought all of the natives as well healed as himself and for that reason no charity was needed. The governor would do well to make the acquaintance of his subjects. Expunge Tillman from the senate and then there will be no need of expunging his vulgar remarks from the records of the senate. All of his remarks are but an aggregation of vulgar verbosity and wholly unfit to be printed. Rubber may be made from wheat, says a scientist. Poor cooks have been making rubber from wheat since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary, only they used it for the human stomach instead of industrial use.
