Lent began last Wednesday and the smiles of the past season brought on by the scarcity of coal in the city have been lent for a season. That "hypothetical question" has bobbed up in the Thaw trial with all the vigor and vivacity it seemed to possess at the Chester Thomson trial. With the lid on in Tacoma and with the Sunday closing in force and effect in Seattle it begins to look as if the PLUG UGLIES were dead up against the real thing. The Roper case at Blaine is in line to be as great a mystery as the Milhuff case at Renton. Who said that you could not get away from the latter day detectives? It remained for the Wanderers to defeat the Seattle foot ball team last Sunday, hence no city can claim the victors as hers. Does that mean that Seattle is still without a peer? Chinese new year has been a burning riot most of the present week and the end is not yet in sight. Why not turn a few Japs loose on the pig tails to assure peace negotiations. "Four-Hundred at the Charity Ball," says a P.-I. headline, whether or not that four-hundred was the much talked of '400' that cuts such a swell in sawciety circles the writer verily doth not know. Was it a true case of the lion and the lamb lying down together whan Gov. Hughes, of New York, and Harriman, the railrosd magnate, consented to speak at the same banquet the other day? A local paper makes quite an expose of what it is pleased to term fake mining companies doing business in the city and prints a long list of them that have not and probably never will pay a dividend. Those companies that are long on stock selling are always more or less limited on ```markdown ``` SEATTLLE. WASHINGTON FEBRUARY 15, 1907. dividend paying. When you have a good mine you do not have to sell much of its stock to put the mine on a paying basis that is, self sustaining. Seattle is a rugged looking hole just now in some of her down town districts, but she is undergoing a metamorphosis from which she will emerge more brilliant than the caterpillar in its coming forth a bright-winged butterfly. Unless freight from the East soon begins to put in its appearance the coal famine will be mild in comparison to the dry goods and shoe famine that will soon make itself felt in Seattle and its surrounding country n the near future. No cartoon in the history of the Post Intelligencer more aptly expresses the the true condition of affairs of the Negro in this country than the Lincoln cartoon in last Tuesday's paper. It clearly shows how the white folk of the South are settling the race problem in that section. Japan after many months is evacuating Manchura, at least so they say, but if the real truth was known she is doing no such thing, or if she is she has a secret understanding with the Chinese in authority to hand it over to her again whenever it seems meet and proper for her to have it to further her war demonstrations. Thieves went through four safes in the Bailey block and got only $100 for their trouble. We suspect those thieves will now leave the city in utter disgust and do more toward turning immigration from our gates than thousands of dollars of advertising can possibly overcome. It appears as if the city council has no particular desire to settle the garbage question. For the city to build its own garbage crematory and thereby take a good graft away from the Dagoes might cost the Republicans a few votes and that may account for the slowness in which the council moves in the matter. If the women of Chatanooga, Tenn., would as earnestly protest against the wholesale butchering of innocent Negroes by heartless mobs in and about them as they are against the printing of the Thaw trial in the daily papers they would show some signs of not straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. Back in Kansas in early days every man owning a quarter section of land thought he had the ideal place for a town site and at once proceeded to have the same platted and named and then he went East to sell town lots and in many instances succeeded beyond expectation. It occurs to us some --- PRICE TEN CENTS. of the property owners on the first and second hills of Seattle have the idea that their paticular lots are ideal spots for apartment houses and up go the prices with that view. Instead of putting an apartment house on every lot on those hills why not cover both hills under one roof and call it one great apartment property. To prevent the "yellows" who have reporters of the notorious stripe, the United States district attorney of New York has served notice on the big dailies that they would be prosecuted if they did not observe the postal laws of the United States, which makes a crime to publish and distribute obscene literature, such as will be heard in the Thaw trial during ts time. The proposed bill before the legislature, giving the city council the right to elect a city appointee in case the council and the mayor can not agree on an appointee should not pass. We do not favor Mayor Moore's selections for a successor to A. L. Walters, but the appointin power should not be taken from the executive head of a municipality any more so than it should be taken from the president of the United States or the governor of some state of our Union. Ours may be a desperate case, but not so desperate as to require such drastic remedies as the passage of a law relieving the mayor of the appointing power if he should happen to differ from the city council. Over in Denver, Colorado, a number of Japanese students of the public schools when given a United States flag for the flag drill, one of the requisites for the public schools, threw the same down and hiked away declaring they would not carry the flag because they hated it. It transpired on investigation that other Japanese students in Denver had done the same thing. Now that was one of the rules of the public schools and every Japanese that refused to carry the flag on such occasions should have been promptly expelled from the public schools. We do not favor any discrimination in the schools against the Japanese children but we would not tolerate any infractions of the rules of the schools by such Japanese children as did attend the public schools. San Francisco in our opinion was and is wrong in excluding Japanese children from her public schools, but that is no excuse for Japanese children offering an insult to Old Glory. We would expel every mother's son of them that refused to carry the flag on flag day if it meant war with Japan the very next day. Uncle Sam should have some rights that the little brown men are bound to respect as well as the Mikado have rights which Uncle Sam is expected to respect. In the Public Eye. The civilized world is watching day by day the Harry Thaw trial as it proceeds step by step through its horrifying details. As Evlyn Thaw told the jury Stanford how she has been hounded White since a mere child by the Moral human monster Stanford White. how she when only thirteen had been drugged and robbed of her child virtue; how when she wanted to marry a man who would protect her and be her husband she had been followed by day and by night by that immoral ghoul, and finally, how her husband's life had been threatened by White simply because he, White, could no longer force this girl to live the life of shame, no wonder both spectators and jurors wept as she told her sad and pitiful life story. It was a terrible ordeal for a woman but 22 years of age to admit to the world and that too on the witness stand in a great criminal case where the sensational newspaper man with hungry pencil remorselessly waited to send broadcast the world over her every word and sentence; that she was guilty of living a life with a man quite old enough to be her father and then some as that she related to the jury she had been guilty of at the solicitation and threats of Stanford White, who found far more pleasure in seducing young and innocent girls than he did in successfully planning the most magnificent sky-scraper that ever towered toward High Heaven in Greater New York. Such shocking details would move any man to tears especially if he too had a girl, who under similar circumstances might meet a like fate. That a human being can become so morally depraved is an undeniable fact because the life of Stanford White proves it, but let us hope the number is few and quite far apart. Whenever such degeneracy does exhibit itself in a man then it is perfectly natural that someone do as did Harry Thaw—shoot its life out, and the jury that will convict for such will have to be made up of men of the immoral stripe of Stanford White instead of twelve men good and true who recognize the need of virtue in the human family. Regardless of the fact that there is no law on the statute books of this state bearing directly on "common law marriage," that is to say, when a man lives with a woman and introduces her to his friends and acquaintances as his wife and vet she is not legally his Common Law Marriages wife, still the Supreme Court of our state has recently handed down a decision to the effect that common law marriages even in the absence of statutes on the subject, must be recognized. It has been repeatedly claimed by attorneys in this state that the woman living with a man as his common law wife could not recover any of his property after his death. Had the court held with the concensus of opinion among the attorneys at the bar of the state it would have done a great injustice to a whole army of women, who are foolish enough to live with a man, hoping sooner or later to THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN induce such scoundrels to marry them. Hundreds of such cases alone could be cited from Seattle and thousands throughout the state. If a woman lives and toils with a man and the two accumulate valuable property and children be born from the cohabitation it is eminently unjust to declare such woman not entitled to her half of the accumulations, the other half, too after the man is dead. The woman is entitled to her half for the labor she has actually performed and she is entitled to the other half for the care and maintenance of the children. In making the ruling along the lines that it did the Supreme Court has done a most humane act. The most of the states of the Union recognize the legality of the common law marriage and there is no reason why the state of Washington should not follow in their wake. John D. Rockefeller has made no public declaration that he will never die rich like Andrew Carnegie, who has made such a declaration, and begun a Giving wholesale giving away of His his accumulations, but John Money Away is getting there just the same. A few days ago he gave the General Educational Board of the United States the equal of $32,000,000. Previously he had given the board some $11,000,000, which brings the total up to $43,000,000. If to this sum the amounts he has from time to time given to other educational and eleemosynary institutions it would be seen that Rockefeller has made almost as big a stagger at giving his fortune away and dying poor as has Carnegie. This giving away of the accumulations of a lifetime in old age is a latter day fad and it is being done quite extensively by even those who have not nearly so much to give away as the men herein mentioned. Here is a case for the moralist, the religionist and the anti-tainted moneyist to preach us a sermon. There is no doubt but that both Carnegie and Rockefeller as well as hundreds of others, who have amassed large fortunes from commercial combines, have gotten their money by questionable means; that is by bribing someone in government authority to either pass special laws for their favor or so warp the enforcement of the existing laws as to permit them to make money at the expense of the general public, which is no better than the methods pursued by the highwaymen or the porch climber. The question naturally arises does this wholesale giving away the accumulations, which were illegally obtained, atone for the sin of getting them? And should they be accepted by churches and schools? A priest from King Meneliek's government declared in a public lecture at Indianapolis, Indiana, last Sunday evening "that if the Negro of the United Americans States were given to chicken Steal stealing and other forms of Chickens petty thieving it was due to the teachings the Negro had received in America and by no means a native inheritance. The black folk in my country are scrupulously honest and if one is ever detected stealing he or she is so severely punished that they never again attempt such an infraction of the moral law." That there is more truth than poetry in the above statement, the man or woman of this country who has given the subject a second's consideration is willing to admit. No one will deny that the black man of the South is something of a petty pilferer and for ages has had the weakness of swiping a convenient chicken and oft times even when it was not convenient, but there is a cause for it. During his years of bondage he was driven from dawn until dark and fed on sow belly and corn bread, the bread being hurriedly stirred together after he got home. The women were driven just as hard and long as the men, hence could make no extra preparations for their families. A piece of fresh meat was never issued to them; sugar, tea and coffee they only heard of. With none of those nourishments and possessing the same kind of nature as the white man it was perfectly natural that they forage for something fresh and nothing more natural than to seek the master's hen roost. Even our Union soldiers during the great civil war did the selfsame thing. In the North, however, the black man is no more given to chicken stealing than the white man. The records of the courts of this city will show fewer cases of black men stealing chickens than white men, and that too in proportion to their numbers. There seems to be little or no difference in the human family whether clothed in a white or a black skin or whether from this or any other country. Last Tuesday the nation did honor to the memory of the Sainted Lincoln, who was struck down while yet in the prime of life and in the height of Bless his glory for he had just successfully terminated a Memory heartless war of brother against brother and reunited a divided republic. That Lincoln was an instrument in the hands of the Great Creator sent to perform the work he did perform seems an absolute certainty. He did his work well and for that reason even those rebels, who sought to overthrow the government and perpetuate the institution of slavery in the United States, now sing praises to his memory. There seems to be always plenty of persons quite able to fill the place of any leader who may be called to the great beyond; but Lincoln, more divine than human, had a place that no one seems to have yet risen to the emergency to fill or to take up the work of making citizens of the emancipated Negroes, where he laid it down when the assassin's bullet sent him to the God who gave him. The present condition of affairs so far as the black man in this country is concerned is most lamentable and would to God another Abraham Lincoln would rise up and bring peace and harmony out of the existing racial chaos. The white man is in as much need of such a pacifier as the black man for if the present strained relations between the two is permitted to continue it will only be a matter of time before the Household Help Wanted! There is a famine in household help in most of the cities and towns of the state of Washington, and especially in the city of Seattle, the largest town in the state. The crying demand for good household help is so general in Seattle that at least 1,000 girls in excess of what are already employed in the city could be placed in good positions at wages ranging from $25 to $30 per month, and in some instances even higher than that, the next day after they reached the city. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is preparing to issue a special edition under the caption of which will be sent in large numbers to the Jamestown Exposition for free distribution in the Negro building, and the help situation might be greatly relieved in this section by a great number of families wanting help placing "want advertisements" in this special edition. will contain pictures of a hundred or more homes of Negroes in this state. It will likewise contain the pictures of a hundred or more Negro men and women more or less prominent in the various localities of the state in which they reside, and through those channels many copies of the special will find their way back East, where they will be eagerly read by friends and relatives. With such opportunities staring them in the face, they may make up their minds to come West at once and seek such employment as they find advertised. The proposition is worthy of your most earnest consideration, and the investment might mean a lasting benefit to the entire community.

Is the political condition of the blackman in the United States steadily growing worse instead of better? Or is it the usual excessive darkness just before the dawn? All of the Southern states have passed jim crow car laws and the sentiment has spread toward the North until first one of the border states and then another has placed the obnoxious laws on their statute books, following in the wake of Mississippi. The last of the border states to pass the jim crow law was the state of Missouri, and surrounded as it is by loyal states of the Union it will make it a difficult problem for the railroad companies to handle the car service as to the separating of its white and colored passengers. The train leaving the Missouri river for Chicago must put out and in its passengers at every state line to conform to the peculiar laws of those states, which have for their object the separation of the races. The railroad influence in this country, it cannot be denied, is very, very powerful and is able to sway legislation almost as it wishes. Now suppose the railroads should combine to have similar laws enacted in all of the states if for no other purpose than to save the various roads from petty annoyance, the result would be jim crow laws in most of the Northern and Middle Western states. Despite the fact that the most learned of the United States are of the opinion that absorption will be the only solving wedge for the much mooted race question in this country, yet it seems that prejudice against the black man, despite his accumulations in wealth and intelligence, is becoming more intense each day and the relations between the black and the white folk are so badly strained just now that the slightest misstep on the part of either side, and especially the black side, would result in Negro extermination before absorption could get in its good work. AFRO - AMERICANISM. The secretary of war has ordered that no white musical director be employed for the bands in the colored regiments until an effort be made to secure a Negro to take the position. * * * The A. M.

He was also given a blue ribbon at the World's Fair. A crop of 75,000 bushels of potatoes is produced every year by Junius C. Groves, of Kansas, which is the world's record. * * * Sergeant Mingo Sanders, of Company B, Twenty-fifth Infantry, was the first Negro to testify before the senate committee of investigation into the Brownville affair. Sanders said that while running from his quarters to Company B barracks, after being awakened by the firing upon the night of August 13, the shooting was going on, and it came from the town and toward the hospital on the military reservation. This is the first direct testimony given by any of the discharged Negro soldiers that the fire came from the town. *** Booker T. Washington stands at the head of his race as an educator and molder of thought. He believes in training the hand as well as the brain, and to train the hands and brains together. When Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute he had no money, and the school had none. The institute now owns 2,000 acres of land, eighty-three buildings, dwellings, dormitories, class rooms, shops and barns, live stock, farm implements, etc., all valued at $350,000. This does not include 22,000 acres of public lands granted by Congress, valued at $135,000, nor the endowment fund of $1,275,000. The institute now has over 1,800 pupils in all its departments, and is growing every year. This is the quarter-of-a-century record of the one who believes in improving his race by teaching the honorableness of work. Reduction of the Southern Representation in Congress. (From Western Press Bureau by John H. Jackson.) The South, less in area, population and wealth than the North, has, from the very foundation of our government, exerted a disproportionate influence in National affairs. During the agitation for the abolition of slavery, territories were practically admitted into the Union in couplets, one a slave and the other a free state—in order to preserve a balance of political power thought to be necessary by the South to preserve the institution of slavery. Some of the fiercest political struggles THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN in our political history have occurred over the admission of states, and long and loud has a conflict raged upon these occasions threatening at times to disrupt the Union itself. More than once did Henry Clay, the great pacificator, come forward with measures, even if only temporary, to relieve the national strain and to preserve the peace between the two contending sections, representing antagonistic forces in governmental affairs. Before the war not a single Negro could vote except in the free states, and yet four-fifths of them were counted for purposes of representation in Congress and in the electoral college. This power assumed by one class over another for so long a time, has tended to make the ruling class dictatorial and arrogant, and has caused the other class to lose caste for nearly a half score of generations. The political history of the world shows that when men for any reasons, whether they be in the role of prince or pauper, wield unlimited and unrestrained power, they seldom yield it to the higher claims of humanity, nor even in the interest of the better government without a struggle. The present political status of the South proves that if there are to be changes for the better, growing out of present abnormal conditions, these must come gradually and be the result of a development which is happily taking place especially in the South. However, to prevent the checking of this growth which means so much for the common citizenship of our country, it is well for us to understand that if the political future of the Negro should be left entirely to the people of the South this race would be reduced to a condition of peonage much worse than the serfdom of Russia, and much of the hopeful development that we witness today on every hand would probably be entirely checked. The ultimate hope for the industrial, educational and political future of the Negro lies in the continued ascendency of a Northern sentiment, which unless forced to do so by the South will never consent to a repeal of the war amendments to the Constitution and to reducing him to a condition of peonage in the nation. There is no doubt of the fact that in several of the Southern states colored people have been disfranchised, and that the constitution is mandatory in declaring that when the right to vote is denied to citizeus in any state on account of color that those citizens so denied shall not be counted in the basis of representation in Congress and in the electoral college. The following facts, bearing on this phase of the question are as apalling as they are true. In some of the Southern states it only takes about 2,000 votes to send a member to Congress and in some of the Northern states it takes 40,000 votes to elect a member to Congress. While Mississippi, California and Kansas each has about the same population, each having eight members of Congress, in 1902, the total vote of Mississippi was only 18.058, while in California the total vote FEBRUARY 15. 1907 was 2,911,008, and the total vote in Kansas was 274,253. The average vote per congressional district in Mississippi in that year was 2,257 while in California the average vote for a member of Congress was 36,376, and in Kansas it was 34,282. In 1904 the Tenth district of Missouri cast 58,383 votes to elect one member of Congress and in the same year the whole state of Mississippi cast the same vote to elect eight (8) members of Congress. To remedy this wholesale injustice to the colored people of the South, and also to the Northern voter, because this is greater than a mere raee question, appeals should be made to Congresa from all sections of our country at its next session, to reduce representation in Congress in all states in the Union upon the basis of their voting rather than upon the basis of their numerical population. Let the colored people especially those in the North, East and West, who desire to see absolute fair play in politics as well as in the other affairs of life begin now to organize, collect the facts of disfranchisement, and send petions to Congress asking that representatives in those states where colored people are denied the right to vote be reduced in their representation ar required by the Constitution. If this reduction in Southern representation can be secured the following will be the result: (1) The race question as such will forever be eliminated from the politics of the Nation. (2) To regain its loss of political power the South will pursue a policy toward the Negro which will bring about his ultimate if not his speedy enfranchisement in all the states where ne is deprived of the right to vote. (3) The Negro himself will be stimulated and encouraged to acquire education and to accumulate property, so as to become a factor in the future political affairs in community, in state and Nation. The Sunday Forum. The Sunday Forum was up to its usual standard of interest last Sunday. The resolutions of Mr. I. F. Norris touching the special message of the President to Congress were read, discussed and adopted. The hall rang with the oratorical efforts of Messrs. I. F. Norris, W. M. J. Wylie, J. A. Edmonson and James S. Murray. The instrumental duet of Miss Gurtrude Harvey and Miss Clara Threat was a rare musical treat. The essay of Miss Anna Jackson was commendable effort. The program for next Sunday, which will be Fred Douglass Day, will be one of more than ordinary interest, and the house should be crowded on this day to do honor to one of the greatest men our race has produced. The speakers will be Mr. J. A. Robinson, Mr. J. S. Murray and Rev. J. A. Edmonson, with general discussion following. There will be some excellent music interspersed. The public is requested to come at 4 o'clock so as to get the full benefit of the exercises.

Fresuuary 15, 1907 TUSKEGEE INSTILTOLE, Ala, fed. 4, 1907.—It is now nearly twelve years since Frederick Douglass, to whom the Negro peo- ple owe more than to any other man of our race for the part he took in securing our freedon, died in Washington. His home at Anacostia, in the suburbs of Washington, still remains, however, and an effort is now being made to preserve this house, with its memories and traditions, and make it a per- manent memorial to Douglass and the Negro people. An association, known a8 the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Associa- tion, has been formed to effect this purpose. The people of our race have a rare oppor- tunity to honor the memory of Frederick Douglass and to show their reverence and love for the man, who, during the trying times before and after the war, embodied in his own life, more than any other man of our race, the aspirations and the cause of the Negro people. I have been asked by the offi- cers of the Memorial Association to assist in securing the comparatively small sum of money, amounting to spme $5,400 and inter- est, necessary to clear off the mortgage on the property and so secure the property for all time to the association and the Negro people of the United States. We should make Cedar Hill to the Negro people what Mount Vernon is to the white race. All of this can be accomplished if every member of the race would contribute, at once, a small sum of money and send it to me by postoffice order, check or otherwise, as soon as this communication is read. I am making this appeal by the authority of the officers of the Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association, and with the ap- proval and sympathy of Mr. Douglass’ im- mediate family. Now is the time, when Mr. Douglass’ birthday is being celebrated and talked of in all parts of the country, for the race to show its love for Douglass not only in words but in deeds. I shall hope to re- ceive within the next few days this money, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN which can be sent in sums of 25 cents up. Each contributor will receive a receipt for whatever he sends. After the money has been secured to clear off the mortgage, I am sure steps will be taken to put the place in condition to serve the purposes mentioned. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. TACOMA TIDINGS. The Negro Business Men’s League of La- coma and Pierce County gave their first ban- quet last Tuesday evening, Lineoln’s birth- day. Covers for fifty guests were laid anda most sumptuous feast was spread. Promptly at 9 o’clock the guests were seated and af- ter doing the inner man ample justice a num- ber of toasts were responded to. The league was’ but recently organized and starts out under most auspicious circumstances. The officers are: S. S. Freeman, president; B. A. Bay, vice-president; Lawrence Sledge, secretary, and H. P. Lawhorn, treasurer. Mr. Johnson was the toastmaster of the even- ing. Everything would seem to indicate that the Afro-Americans of Tacoma are in a most prosperous condition. Many of them are pur- chasing real estate, which will in a very few years become valuable holdings, and nothing is so indieative of prosperity as the pur- chasing of real estate. The Literary Society of the A. M. E. Chureh will hold Fred Douglas exercises this (Friday) afternoon and an elaborate pro- gram will be rendered.

In the meantime the work is being vigorously prosecuted and when issued it will be a thing of beauty. Arrangements are being made to have a large number of copies distributed in the Negro build- ing at the Jamestown exposition, which opens neat June. The number will contain pictures of no less than 500 homes and persons in the North- west, and also contain accurate facts and figures of the progress of the Negro in the Northwest. It means much to get these statistics, hence we had to make haste slowly in the publication of the Magazine. | The Seattle Republican 215 Marion ’Phone Main 305 attendance at the different churches was falling off, and there seems to be no hope for the churches unless some- thing is done to stimulate the different congregations.

No other country i the world is capable of producing a dramatic creation containing the real- ism that this play does. True, the inventive genius of the French is wonderful, and some of the Italian» are a pretty close second; but their inventions are all of a cumbrous kind compared with the imitation of the real thing in the play at the Seattle Theatre this week. The locomotive that draws the train across the stage in the third act would lead one to believe that they were hearing, see ing and realizing an actual locomotive in action. Passing the frogs in the track is sounded exactly as it is when a real train passes over this portion of the track. Then, again, when the wheels of the cars pass from one rail to the other the sound is conveyed to the audience. A more realistic scene than the one described, embodying mechanical contrivances, was never reproduced anywhere upon any stage. “The Fast Maii is a good melodrama, as this class of amusement goes; but the freight train scene, the explosion, the flight of the fast mail and other mechanical creations lifts it ‘way above the ordinary, and accounts for its success. The last performance takes place Saturday night. “Nettle, the Newsgirl,” a comedy- melodrama, comes to the Seattle The- ater next Sunday afternoon. You may not see any pictorial paper on the wall for this attraction, and the chances are, unless the railroad blockade is lifted soon, the bill boards will not be covered for some time, as no pictorial paper has reached Seattle from the Hast for several weeks, even by ex- press. But the play will go on at the Seattle Theatre Sunday afternoon just the same, as the company is in this vicinity and consider themselves for- tunate. “Nettle, the Newsgirl,” was here last season at the Third Avenue Theatre. It is a big scenic production, tells an interesting story, and is play- ed by a competent company, headed by a real star soubrette. JohnH, McGraw Geo. B.
