POLITIGAL POT-PIE The direct primary bill having run the gauntlet of both houses as well as gubernatorial approval, it is now a legal fixture and the politicians will have to cut their cards accordingly. The law will become operative at once, an emergency clause having been passed along with the bill, and its first test will occur in Spokane at her next municipal election, which will choose a successor to Mayor Daggett, a Democrat, who two years ago was elected, overcoming a big Republican plurality. This first test will be eagerly watched by the politicians all over the state and especially by the members of the legislature, many of whom voted for it, not because they loved it, but because their constituents demanded that they do so. The bill was not passed without meeting opposition of the most pronounced type by the "regulars" in the Senate with Senator Rands voting against it to the very last ditch. *** The direct primary law is neither the Senate's, the House's, nor the League's bill, but a cross between them all, and while it seems lame in some places, yet on the whole it looks to be a very conservative as well as effective measure, and, it is hoped, will give the people complete relief from domineering and evil designing politicians, who, in the past, have "done politics" for the sole purpose of selling out to some one, who was always ready and willing to climb into political ascendancy by the money barrel route or the check book system. It is also believed that the passage of the measure puts such a crimp in Senator Ankeny's senatorial aspirations to succeed himself, that he will never be able to straighten out. * * * Papers in the state that have opposed the passage of the direct primary bill have so repeatedly branded it "a John L. Wilson measure" that a great majority of the voters throughout the state have come to look upon it as having been fathered through the legislature by Wilson and that he (Wilson) was directly responsible for its now being on the statute books of this state. Such being a fact, the Hon. John L. Wilson has again suddenly jumped into political prominence in the state and you should not be surprised if he does not dictate many of the coming nominations for state and county ```markdown ``` offices and almost name the United States Senator who will succeed Senator Levi Ankeny. It is claimed that the Post-Intelligencer, the Tacoma News and Ledger, the Olympia dailies and the Everett Herald have gone into a political pool with Senator Wilson as director general, and if the same be true there will be something doing before the next state nominations will have been pulled off. Perkins is away and Wilson is on the field with power to act. * * * Levi Ankeny may be a candidate to succeed himself as United States Senator from this state, but such is not the consensus of opinion at this time. Prominent anti-Wilson members of the late legislature made no bones in declaring that in their opinion the death knell to Senator Ankeny's re-election was sounded when a majority of the members of the legislature recorded their votes in favor of the direct primary bill. Senator Ankeny is anything but generally popular, notwithstanding the fact he has many staunch friends among the farmers of Eastern Washington. While no one seems to know as to whether Representative W. L. Jones will be a candidate for United States Senator to succeed Ankeny or not, yet it is generally believed that in case he is he will get at least two votes to Ankeny's one in Eastern Washington and more than hold his own with Ankeny in Western Washington, which would mean the selection of Jones instead of Ankeny for senator in 1909. Around the Ankeny circle many political satelites, shrewd and sagacious, flit, and they are men who do politics and will not give up without a fierce struggle. If they are able to make a decent showing to Senator Ankeny he will furnish to them the necessary sinews of war and with them at their fingers' end a battle royal will be the result. If they should bring out a strong candidate for United States Senator in Yakima County they would weaken Jones at home. Strong candidates for Senator in Spokane, Pierce, King, the Southwest and the Northwest counties, and the political situation would be so befuddled that Ankeny might win almost without effort. Of course other candidates might do the same thing, but Jones would not have the money to operate such a machine, hence Ankeny would be able to take complete advantage of the political situation and succeed himself. * * * Already some political skirmishing is going on in the gubernatorial field. It is claimed that both Senator Ankeny and Senator Wilson are flirting with Gov. Mead. The Ankeny forces pretend to want to back Mead for renomination with the view of forcing Wilson to take him up. Ankenyites think Mead a weak candidate and if by some hook or crook they can force him on to Wilson it will divide the latter's personal strength throughout the state. As many of Wilson's closest political workers oppose Mead's renomination and he (Mead) will soon be an PRICE TEN CENTS. elephant on Wilson's hands. Dave Crocker is playing highball with the view of making a home run as soon as the light begins to sufficiently dawn for him to see a refuge hole. * * * While W. H. Paulhamus has repeatedly declared he was not seeking the gubernatorial nomination, yet rumor has it that he is endeavoring to cut his political cards in such a manner as to bring about a popular cry from the people that he be nominated for governor. He has taken the lead in the cause of the insurgents on the floor of the senate, which has given him more notoriety than any of the others got. His successful fight in having Railroad Commissioner McMillin return his unearned salary to the state has made him even more popular than he was before and at the closing session of the legislature a blander and a broader smile spread over his face when some one would whisper "Governor Paulhamus" in his ear than when the session first began; hence there must be something in it. * * * Just as was predicted by the Seattle Republican some weeks ago, the Ross investigation committee found nothing in its overhauling of the state land commissioner's office that in any wise reflected on his method of conducting the affairs of the office or his personal integrity. Yea, instead of Ross being censured he is stronger in the public eye now than he was before the investigation. The investigation, however, did bring out the fact that the state land commissioner's office was sadly in need of legislative assistance and both branches of the legislature hastened to pass measures which in the future will greatly relieve the land commissioner of many obstructions which hindered the businesslike conduct of the office. The malicious spirit that prompted the investigation made a desperate effort to pass one or two measures that would cripple Ross, but in that a most signal failure was the result. * * * How remarkable that lifelong Republicans, who have never shown any inclination to injure their fellow partisans, should so far forget their party allegiance to chase off after false gods as did those Republicans who tried to injure Commissioner Ross because a Democratic newspaper had demanded it. The very Republican that introduced the resolution in the senate asking for an investigation of the state land commissioner's office, at the suggestion of the Seattle Daily Times, knew from personal experience that that paper's only political stock in trade was the publishing of malicious lies about Republican candidates, and in many instances his personal friends, and yet he was influenced by the vile lies of the Times to put a Republican on the political rack. However, as said above, Ross was not hurt, and if the other fellow got any fun out of it Ross has no objections. * * * At last the state of Washington has been separated into congressional districts, and the congressional triumvirate has been shattered and each tub will have to stand on its own bottom when nomination and election time come round again. The friends of the triumvirate hoped until the very last minute to be able to head off the final passage of the districting act, but flatly failed, and if the individual members of the triumvirate are wise they will accept the situation cheerfully and at once begin to shape their political destinies along new lines. The three respective districts will include the counties of the state as follows: First District: Island, King, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, Whatcom and Kitsap. Present representative of the district, Will E. Humphrey, King. Second District: Chehalis, Clallam, Clark, Cowlitz , Jefferson, Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Pierce, Klickitat, Skamania, Thurston and Kahkiakum. Present representative, F. W. Cushman, Pierce. Third District: Adams, Asotin, Benton, Chelan, Columbia, Douglas, Ferry, Franklin, Garfield, Kittitas, Lincoln, Okanogan, Spokane, Stevens, Walla Walla, Whitman and Yakima. Presnt representative, W. L. Jones, Yakima. Ross Was Vindicated. Piles of Panama Coming. Cushman Caught a Coon. Cut Jamestown, Va., Out. Your Taxes Are Doubled. Humphrey Has Returned. Whose Governor Is Mead? Tenth Legislature Is Dead. Negro Help for Northwest. Tacoma Is Surely Growing. Tacoma Is Surely Growing. A $6,000,000 Appropriation. Money for an Easter Bonnet. Saloonkeeper Was Convicted. Who Is Your Friend (Political)? Had not the Blethen family come to Seattle at the time it did a divil of a sorry town it would have been. John S. McMillin may disgorge, but we hardly think it will be $2,000, and we believe he is about three-thirds right. Elijah Dowie is dead, but no chariot of fire or otherwise appeared to take him home, which must have been a disappointment to him. "New arms for the agricultural college," comes the report. With them ready for business the gopher army which has so successfully flanked the agricultural army the gophers should soon be routed horse and dragon. This year four-hundred and twenty cadets are being taught military science and tactics under the consistent supervision of Captain Edward Kimmel, of the U. S. A. Artillery Corps. Last year there were three-hundred and seventy cadets, and three years ago they numbered three-hundred and twenty, making an increase of one-hundred in three years. A regimental formation is now maintained, comprising THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN two battalions; one of four companies, and the other of three. Last year the battalion had three companies each. The State College cadets are now armed with Krag-Jorgensens. Three-hundred and fifty of these modern implements of war have just arrived, and thereby an epoch is marked in the evolution of military affairs at the Washington State college. The arms were received as good as new from the Benicia arsenal, at San Francisco, and, while they have been in the service of the regular army, the guns have been rebrowned and re-blued, until to all appearances they are spic-and-span brand new. With the new arms have come new belts, such as are worn with the Springfield gun. [Name not visible] PROF. F. M. McCULLY. Who died at his home in Olympia last Tuesday. At the time of his death he was deputy state superintendent of public schools of this state. He was well and favorably known in school circles all over the Northwest. Topics in Brief. Railroads are becoming the prime factor in American race suicide---The New York American. "Making up time" is one of the swiftest ways of entering eternity.---The New York Evening Mail. Why can not we make a treaty with Pittsburg to issue no more passports to New York?---New York Evening Mail. Mr. Carnegie can back Mr. Rockefeller off the boards by giving a million or so for the education of the Japanese children in San Francisco.---The Cleveland Leader. The Kansas legislature abolishes capital punishment. A sentence for life in Kansas is a greater deterrent from crime than a death sentence.---The Atlanta Journal. By the way in which state legislatures are reducing railroad fares from three to two cents, it is plain that the no-pass regulations are in force.---N. Y. Commercial. The people of the United States have given $32,000,000 to the General Education Board, but they didn't know it until John D. Rockefeller told them about it.—The Chicago Journal. When the jury decides upon the sanity of Harry Thaw it will do well to turn its attention to some of the special writers who are giving impressions of the trial. The Cleveland Leader. The achievement of Woo Ang, of San Francisco, who raised a draft for $8 to $8, 000 is a refutation of the statement that the Chinese cannot adapt themselves to American ways. The Boston Transcript. A Connecticut thief has stolen sixty comic operas. If they are the kind that have been on the boards during the last few seasons a grateful public will give him all the assistance needed to avoid capture. The Cleveland Leader. After voting to raise the salaries of its members $2,500 a year because of the increased cost of living in Washington, the House is preparing to pass a bill making tipping unlawful in the District of Columbia. It is true economy that saves at both ends. ---The New York World. There was a nice derangement of epitaphs in the part of the King's speech referring to the Kingston earthquake. "I have seen with satisfaction," said King Edward, "that the emergency has been met by the Governor with courage, and by the people with self control. ---The New York Evening Post. George Hazzard, the old-time Democratic politician of Tacoma, in an interview at Spokane this week on his return from the east, says "Washington is the greatest state in the union for natural resources and future population and wealth." He says "Spokane in time will be a city of one-million population." Mr. Hazzard predicts with confidence that "before 1950 there will be 6,000,000 people in the state of Washington—as many as there are today in Pennsylvania, and I wouldn't be surprised if it came before a quarter of a century. The eyes of the whole country are turned on the state of Washington. Hartline Standard. Looking back through the American history of the Negroes and considering the vicisitudes of their life, the hardships some of them endured and the resultant condition, the faithfulness in captivity, their peacefulness for two-hundred years, their swift evolution from complete ignorance, their rapid adoption of the white man's methods and their amiable life as people, the fair-minded and unprejudiced student must accord them a high place among the laboring populations of the earth. As a race they have done well. As a race they are doing well. As a race they can and do produce criminals. So does our own; so does every race under the sun, every state, every city.—The Century Magazine. Of the three elected members of the license board by the city council of Central Falls, Rhode Island, one was a colored man---Richard A. Butler. Mr. Butler has lived in the city for a great many years and is engaged in the real estate and insurance business. Household Help Wanted! There is a famine in household help in most of the cities and towns of the state of Wash ington, and especially in the city of Seattle, the largest town in the state. The crying demanc for good household help is so general in Seattle that at least 1,000 girls in excess of what ar already employed in the city could be placed in good positions at wages ranging from $25 t $30 per month, and in some instances even higher than that, the next day after they reachec the city. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is preparing to issue a special edition under the caption of THE NORTHWEST NEGRO PROGRESS NUMBER, 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 num. ber of families wanting help placing ‘‘want advertisements’ in this special edition. t THE NUMBER will contain pictures of a hundred or more homes of Negroes in this state. It will likewise con. tain 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 rela- tives. 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. For further particulars call at the office of The Seattle Republican, 215 Marion Street, or call up Main 305, and some one from the office will call on you, or write to THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, 215 Marion Street.

Progress. Human progress can only be permanent under divine leadership. Rev. J. P. Stoffleb, Lutheran, Jersey City, N. J. Polygamy. Every time polygamy is mentioned in the Bible, the sad results are shown along with it. Rev. W. H. Hopkins, Congregationolist, Denver, Colo. The Cross. Today and for all days the cross has become the rallying point of the ages, and its message has become the inspiration of the world. Rev. D. S. Mackey, Dutch Reformed. New Haven, Conn. Life.—Life, after all, is the only real teacher; we can see a truth in a minute, but we have to live with it and sin against it, to realize it.—Rev. Frank Crane, Unitarian, Worcester, Mass. Our Talk.—A perfect engine is meant to do something in the world, and so are we if coupled to the work that God gave us. Some people dont want to pull, they want to be pulley.—Rev. M. F. Stryker, Methodist, Clinton, N. Y. The Clerical Function.—The chief function of the preacher should be to set forth the spiritual food, of which the Bible contains such exhaustive abundance.—Rev. R. F. Hurbert, Methodist, Burlington, Ia. The Perfect Man.—The human body came from the hand of the Creator perfect in all its parts. "God made man upright." Man's physical integrity seems to have been maintained for a long time after the fall.—Rev. C. C. Willett, Baptist, Los Angeles, Cal. The Catholic Church.—Men do not like the discipline of the Catholic church. Men love liberty, and to them liberty means absence of restraint. And they do not like the Catholic church because she puts them under the restraint of her laws.—Rev. J. F. Jackson, Roman Catholic, Atlanta, Ga. The City Church. The city church must adopt new methods to reach the masses. In our cities the churches must do more for the social, intellectual, physical, moral and spiritual life of the people. The city churches must be greater educational centers.—Rev. W. G. Partridge, Baptist, Pittsburg, Pa. Business—Men now go into business as they go to war. They expect no concession and make none. The survival of the fittest, which means the survival of the strongest, is the law of life and the excuse for all hardness of heart and questionable morality.—Rev. T. H. Lewis, Lutheran, Westminister, Md. Life.—Man as a seeker after life is not alone, for life is seeking him. He is not rashly and unreasonably asking for and seeking help, but he is reaching out after a reality that is ready for him. He is likely to succeed in his seeking, because he is being as earnestly sought after.—Rev. D. C. Eggleston, Congregationalist, Sound Beach, Connecticut. Capital for Life's Work.—God has placed within our reach all that is necessa- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ry to insure each of us against failure in life's work. There is no lack of capital for the one who is determined to succeed. This capital is found in what is below, around, within and above us.—Rev. A. H. Herries, Presbyterian, Union City, Pa. Education.—Education is pre-eminently a training of the mind. The value of it is not what you carry in your memory at any moment. It is the power you have to analyze logically and to solve correctly any ordinary problem of science, history, literature, politics, or business.—Rev. W. D. Hyde. Congregationalist, Boston, Mass. Earthly Pleasures.—Can earthly pleasures make one so happy as to leave nothing to be desired? Assuredly not. They that indulge in sensual gratifications are forced to acknowledge that the deeper they plunge the more they are enslaved, and the less they are satisfied by them. The keen edge of delight soon becomes blunted.—Cardinal Gibbons, Roman Catholic, Baltimore, Maryland. Building Character.—He who, by promoting education and religion, builds up the young in character, does better than he who, by promiscuous gifts, increases the great swarm of beggsrs and tramps who infest the land. In the perfected state we will find neither poorhouses nor jails, and asylums will be few if any.—Rev. J. H. Lewis, Baptist, Lewisburg, Pa. Mystery.—Who follows God follows a leader whose goings are not known. Mystery enshrouds himself, his habitation and his providences. He deals with mysteries. Life is a mystery. Death is a mystery. Sin is a mystery. Redemption is a mystery. "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness."—Rev. A. H. Studebaker, Episcopalian, Baltimore, Md. Worldly Concerns.—Men are apt to become so absorbed in the concerns of this life as to neglect God altogether, and when they do think of Him it is often with the desire chiefly to get something from Him. How sordid and unworthy this all is. We ought to have our relationship with Him established on a higher level.—Rev. J. D. Burrell. Presbyterian, Brooklyn, N. Y. Talents. I do not believe God ever made a man to whom he did not give at least one talent. We hear men speak of the ten-talent man. I very much doubt if there ever was a ten-talent man. I question whether the Lord ever intended any man to spread his powers over ten different fields of labor. Rev. H. Hezlep, Presbyterian, Pittsburg, Pa. Ideals.—No man can be a true Christian without an inspiration after that true physical, moral and spiritual culture which is found in the gospel of the Son of God. The highest ideal, the divinest standard of culture ever presented to the race is that found in the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth. Rev. A. C. Smither, Disciple, Los Angeles, Cal. High Life.—Every once in a while the common mass of humanity is shocked and astounded by revelations of the low morals in high life. Some woman who sold herself for a title to some foreigner asks to be divorced, and it turns out that she had thrown herself into the arms of a beast for the sake of a name.—Rev. J. T. McCrory, Presbyterian, Pittsburg, Pa. Shirks.—The world is full of shirks. They are in churches as well as anywhere else. They don't come around when the debt is being paid off—but when the jubilee is being celebrated they are on hand and drink more coffee and eat more and make longer speeches than anybody. Of all shirks Jonah is the finest example.—Rev. Thomas Uzzell, Independent, Denver, Col Heredity.—Heredity is mighty, but let us not think it is almighty. Heredity gives us tendency, but it gives us nothing else. The children of good parents take in goodness more easily than the children of bad parents. The children of educated parents acquire ideas more easily than those of ignorant parents.—Rev. R. A. McFadden, Presbyterian, Danners, Mass. Municipal Corruption.—All political officials are not to be confounded with some dishonest rascals who fatten at our expense. All city governments are not to be represented as saturnalias of unspeakable corruption, because some are notoriously evil. Even St. Louis can produce a fearless prosecutor of the lawless plunderers who make haste to get rich.—Rev. S. P. Cadman, Congregationalist, Brooklyn, N.Y. Mob Rule.—Miscarriages of justice in matters purely local can be paitently borne because the difficulties, when acute enough, will usually right themselves. But the taking of life by torture, the stake, the gibbet and all savage forms of bloody procedure which have marked these occurrences the past six months, is a national matter—Rev. A. A. Berle, Congregationalist, Worcester, Mass. Personality. Temperament is never deeper than our ancestors, circumstances never larger than the world, but life drives us beyond both; it is more than ancestral, more than circumstantial, it is individual. We must each live our own life. We must face responsibility and the world single-handed. This is inevitable; our divinity asserts itself—Rev. G. S. Eldrige, Methodist, Brooklyn, N. Y. Motherhood. --- The noblest ideal of woman is motherhood. It is the mother who links humanity with divinity. Heaven's honor is bestowed upon the mother. "Hail, Mary!" No wonder, therefore, that her children rise up "and call her blessed." God's confidence in womanhood gives her the privilege of child-rearing, when the divine and the human meet and merge. Rev. L. M. Zimmerman, Lutheran, Baltimore. M. D. The True Citizen.—A true citizen is a man who puts his shoulder under the burden of the world's need and helps bear it. On an average we pay $7.97 for taxes; our share of the national debt if paid would be $20. But this is the least part of our indebtedness. We have a debt that money cannot pay, an obligation that time cannot cancel. We recognize the personal debt that we owe to our homes, to our families to our fellow men, to our God, and we must recognize our debt to the nation as well. Rev. N. W, Stroup, Methodist, Cleveland, Ohio. Not a Mere Animal.—Man is not a mere animal and hence to be supplied with food and clothing and a home is not the whole of education. His mental faculties, too, must be perfect—his mind, his imagination, his memory—they must be so trained as to respond freely and actively to the demands of social intercourse; they must be made fit instruments to perform the numberless duties that every calling in life brings with it.—Rev. Charles Trinkans, Roman Catholic, Washington, D. C. Divine Laws.—The man who does not glorify God owes the present an apology and the future an answer. God has followed us with loving interest through many steps and stages. Down through the whole mysterious realm of origin it was divinity that shaped our end. All laws are divine in origin; all gifts of genius are divine; all measures or degrees of talent are divine. There is a chapter in each one's history that is never opened, but no man can ever approach the everlasting concealments of the human origin.—Rev. W. A. Lampert, Methodist, Pasadena, Cal. The Individual Man.—Man is an individual, a person. He is individually and solely accountable for his life and actions. He must bear his own burden, and in respect of the phase of his being, he shall stand or fall alone. But this is not the whole truth concerning man. Man is a part of the universe. In particular he is a part or member of one of the orders of creation—the order of humanity. He was born into it. He owes his being to it. He is bound to it by ties which cannot be broken without loss to himself and to the order from whence he came.—Rev. R. M. Blackburn, Presbyterian, Reading, Pa. High School Meet. On May 10-11 representatives from thirty accredited high schools of both Eastern and Western Washington, will meet in Pullman, wher they will participate in the Interscholastic Contests, given under the auspices of the Washington State College each year. The following institutions are expected to send representatives. The high schools at Aberdeen, Bellingham, Centralia. Clarkston, Colfax, Davenport, Dayton, Ellesburg, Everett, Garfield, Goldendale, Lewiston, North Yakima, Oakesdale, Olympia, Palouse, Pomeroy, Prosser, Ritzville, Seattle, Spokane, Sprague, Sunnyside, Tacoma, Walla Walla, Waterville and Wenatchee. Waitsburg, Washington will have both her academy and high school represented. Correspondence received from the high schools by Prof. Charles Timblin, chairman of the committee in charge, indicates that the attendance in visitors and contestants this year will nearly double the attendance of last year, or the previous year. The Spokane high school expects to send four hundred, including visitors and athletes, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and smaller towns are sending in proportionately large estimate of the number of visitors and athletes they expect to send. Subscriptions for the conduct of the meet to the amount of $1,000 have been raised among the students and faculty of the College and business men of Pullman. This amount added to the gate receipts which, judging from the past two years, will be nearly $1,500, will be spent by the committee for trophies and medals, and in paying incidental expenses of the meet. Most notable among the trophies to be awarded are the big McCroskey cup, which will be given to the school making the highest number of points in the meet, and will be retained by the school winning it three times successively; the J. L. Harris cup, which will be given to that Washington high school having had no more than two-hundred pupils in 1905-1906, which wins the most points in the contest; a special silver medal to be given to that individual making the highest number of points in the Athletic Contest; a crimson and gray banner to be awarded to that school winning the McCrosky cup; and a similar banner to be awarded to the school winning first place in the Public Speaking Contest. The Negroes of Arkansas paid into the state treasury last year for real and personal property tax $260,000 besides $50,000 poll tax making a total of $310,000 paid the state treasury by Negroes as taxes for the year 1906. According to the census bureau at Washington, D. C., the Negroes of Arkansas own $30,000,000 worth of property. This vast sum of money in property values does not represent his cash, bank and savings accounts. We fail to see in these figures the worthless, shiftless side of the Negro problem. Slowly, but surely the Negroes of Arkansas are solving their own problem with cash, bank accounts and property. If they can accomplish so much in 40 years who can tell in 40 more years what the harvest will be? God and God alone can answer this question. Pungent Paragraphs.
