"Factionalism Decried by Coon," says a headline. If it had of read, "factionalism described by Coon," it would have had a familiar ring. If winter would only hang in the lap of spring there would be no serious complaint, but it is completely enveloping her and that is why it hurts. Negroes in King county pay taxes on property valued by the county assessor at $700,000 and yet there are not to exceed 500 voters in the county. Breaking the Sunday closing law in Seattle means your arrest and conviction, Mr. Man, and we therefore advise you to go fishing instead of salooning on Sunday. March came in like a lion and she seems to stand by her guns as more than half of the month has passed and she has showed little if any signs of being tired of lionizing herself. Let us be thankful that Gov. Mead has not put limburger instead of Hornberger on the A. Y. P. commission or the expected visitors to the fair in 1909 might not get any nearer to Seattle than Tacoma. Kitsap county in the past has been considered something of a Seattle suburb and therefore the appointing of State Senator Dick Condon on the A. Y. P. commission is very gratifying to Seattle folk. Even newspaper men will stand up and be counted for right and the verdict of the jury composed solely of newspaper men that tried the Sunday closing case verily demonstrates the fact that they will. Black Patti, who spent a week at one of the local theaters of this city, may have earned that sobriquet in the past on account of her rather shady complexion, but she can hardly be accused of being black --- SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON MARCH 22. 1907 Patti at present as she, at least when on the stage is as white as the "white Patti." Mr. Brace is quite right in saying the people can build the Lake Washington canal, but the question is, will they do it? Without wishing to be presumptious we believe we are safe in saying, they will not do it. Three months on the chain gang may prove to be a very soberizing elixir for the booze-soaked hobo, but from his looks when sentence is passed upon him, he does not seem to show a high appreciation for the wonderful health restorer. Administer the Seattle Daily Times in broken doses is what the Blethonians propose to do after the 2nd of April next. Poisonous drugs so administered are liable to produce salivation and reading patients are herewith given due warning. However much one might be inclined to criticise the work of the tenth legislature he or she loses the inclination when the Daily Swillbarrel begins doing so. Always take the opposite side to the Times and you will be certain of not going wrong. No move is being made by the prosecuting attorney of King county to enforce the Sunday closing law outside of the city of Seattle, and yet the office force is boasting of the office's record for enforcing the law. Why make fish of one and flesh of the other? Seattle in the past may not have been a Sunday school town, but if the way her citizens are going after the saloon keepers, who open their doors for business on Sundays, is any indication of change of heart on the Sunday question, then she is now a genuine Sunday school town. Is Prosecuting Attorney Mackintosh gamboling with the law when he permits the statutes to be notoriously violated in Georgetown, where gambling (which is a felony under the law), is run wide open and unmolested? The majesty of the law should be upheld, and if the state's attorney does not do it then, who, in heaven's name will do it? With Jerome putting Evelyn Thaw on trial and Delmas putting Stanford White on trial in the famous Harry Thaw case, poor Harry must be of the opinion that he has been given little or no show to make a record for the stage or the reportorial staff of some yellow journal as is Molineux, who was acquitted of the charge of murder in the first degree and is now reporting the Thaw trial for a few sensational journals. Dr. Allen P. Mitten has broken the record and actually given up a government OF WASHINGTON 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. job without being notified by his superior that his resignation would be acceptable to the department. Will some one rise right up in meeting and say, what manner of man is this politician that is going to voluntarily give up a big salary. Massachusetts may be the seat of knowledge in this country, but it is not the political headquarters and George Fred Williams will find that out when he starts in to dictate the election of William Jennings Bryan to the United States presidency. "Standard Oil will Crush Harriman," says a headline, and thus we have a most brilliant illustration of "fighting the devil with fire," and whipping him with his own game. If after Standard Oil has thus so nobly served the public some device can be hatched up to crush the Standard Oil the millenium will be close at hand. Evidently the reducing of the time from coast to coast on the part of the railroads has been done at apalling cost to human life, the record of wrecks on account of fast running being able to discount the loss of human life in the great Civil war, the railroad kings have decided in future to not run on fast time. Slowing up, however, does not return breath to those whose lives have been wilfully sacrificed. Its not a question of whether the Sunday closing is righ or wrong, but a question of whether it is or is not the law. It is the law and whether a good or bad one should be rigidly enforced so long as it is a law. If it is a bad law then it should be repealed, but a majority of the people must think it a good law as the proposition to repeal it in the late legislature fell flat. The laws should be enforced regardless of whom their enforcement helps or hurts. Six million and a half dollars, the amount appropriated by the tenth legislature, comes dangerously near the famous billion-dollar Congress appropriation, which resulted in an overwhelming defeat of the Republican majority in Congress that voted it. Let us hope that the astounding appropriation on the part of the members of the tenth legislature can be so satisfactorily explained to their constituents that the Republicans will not be defeated for re-election next year on account of it. Clean up Will be the Cry. This is just the time of the year when special pains should be taken to clean up all back yards, as well as the front ones, and all other places where disease is likely to breed. Spring sickness and epidemics may easily be avoided by taking up the matter of sanitation at the proper time.--- Stanwood Tidings. No. ..... SUMMONS BY PUBLICATION.

Special attention given to renovating and repairing fur garments: Close Saloons Sundays. The game of spite that Arthur Greeble, secretary of the Liquor Dealers' Association, has begun to play may have been a splendid trump on past occasions, but it will not win in the present Sunday closing controversy. Last Monday a number of theater men were arrested, not so much because they had violated the law, but with the view of making the law so objectionable to the public that its enforcement would no longer be pushed, and all for the purpose of permitting the vile saloons and dives to run on Sundays, where the unwary may congregate to either get robbed or squander the few dimes they earned during the past week over the bar or at the gambling table, which should go for the maintenance of their families. If its the law that the theaters close on Sunday let them obey the law the same as the saloons, but the whisky men will not make many friends by trying to have someone else arrested because they have been arrested. They did not have those theater keepers arrested because they wanted the law of the land obeyed, but they did so because they were not allowed to wilfully break the law. The whisky dealers know they are law breakers and when patience ceases to be a virtue and the law abiding citizens of a community stand such law breaking as long as they can and rise up in their might and make them obey the law then they at once experience a great change of heart for the good and start in to convert or convict all other law breakers for spite work. Begin your striking back if you wish, Mr. Liquor Dealer, and you will find that you are but bringing down on your own criminal head a greater amount of righteous wrath and indignation and your troubles will have just begun. * * * It was only last Saturday that the president of the Seattle Brewing and Malting company, Andrew Hemrich, ordered an advertisement discontinued in the Seattle Republican because the editor of the paper took a stand with the law instead of with the criminal whisky element. In other words Andrew Hemrich was of the opinion that a $5 per month advertisement absolutely muzzled the editorial thoughts of the paper and the paper would either condemn the Sunday closing or remain silent. How foolish of Mr. Hemrich and if he lives very much longer and continues to make beer he will find that there are other things in this world besides a bottle of beer and drunken human beings. The famous Mt. Rainier itself is not as big in Andrew Hemrich's eyes as a bottle of his beer, and if the selling of it meant the destruction of the whole human family he would prefer to see it fall rather than the sale of his beer curtailed. His vile stuff may mean the ruination of hundreds of men, women and children, but what cares he, just so the sale of his beer goes merrily on. * * * Speaking about the Seattle Brewing & Malting company we are reminded that Georgetown, where the brewing company THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is located, is now one of the most notorious holes in the whole state. In defiance to the law of the land gambling is being run wide open, saloons are never closed and the whole air of the town is that of a dive. The tenderloin aggregation that congregate there from Saturday night until Monday morning make the nights and days so hideous that decent people almost hesitate to pass through the town on the street cars. Just why the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff of the county do not take action against such violators of the law no one save themselves seems to know. It is plain to be seen that the law is being flagrantly violated and it is as plain to the officers of the law as any one else, and if the officers of the law intend to enforce the law, they could find no better place to start out than down in Georgetown. This paper has nothing to say either for or against temperance, prohibition or local option at this time, but it does believe that the laws passed by the legislature and never repealed should either be enforced or repealed. There should be no compromising with crime, and in refusing to prosecute the men who are conducting gambling games and running low dive saloons all day Sunday contrary to law it is one of the worst forms of crime compromising that is on record.

Olympia and assumed his old job in the state insurance department. Did he say a word to warn the farmers? Not he. Schively and Secretary of State Nichols both endorsed the company and let them further dupe the farmers. Olympia, you should long ago have had a house-cleaning, but the people would not. Davenport Tribune. Guilty After the Fact. Thomas Brown, the Chehalis moral pervert, who killed his father in a fit of anger, and who was subsequently tried and found not guilty on account of being temporarily insane at the time, and who was ordered back to jail by the trial judge under an old law, but who was ordered released by Judge Hanford on the grounds that he had not been tried for insanity, which decision the sheriff of the county appealed from and took to the supreme court of the United States, is to remain in either the county or or the state prison for an indefinite period according to the rulings of the supreme court, which recently held that it was not a case in which federal authorities had the right to interfere. It is argued pro and con by the attorneys of the state that the decision will hold good in the Sidney Sloan case, who was found not guilty on the same grounds as was Thomas Brown, who is now confined in the state penitentiary, and in the Chester Thompson case, who was found not guilty on the same plea, who is still in the county jail awaiting a hearing in the supreme court of this state. Whether or not all of these cases are parallel ones will be for the courts to determine, but to the untrained legal mind it would seem that one is about the same as the other and the rulings in the Thomas Brown case will have a direct bearing on the other two cases. These young perverts, who were just permitted to "grow up" instead of being properly disciplined by their parents while growing up, if not morally responsible for their acts should be sent to some place for life confinement to prevent them from doing some good person great bodily harm or actually killing them. The colored people of Florida own and control ten mile of electric street car line in the city of Jacksonville, the employees of which are all colored. [From the Goldfield Daily Tribune.] John Jones, colored, is janitor of the Montezuma club, and a good one, too. John is worth more than $100,000. He could turn that sum into bank cash almost any day. He owns large blocks of the best stocks on the boards. He has been buying stocks with every dollar he could save above his very modest living expenses since he came to Goldfield some three years ago, and especially since he secured his present job. He is married, and his wife lives in a little establishment in the southern section of town. His wife is his assistant in the janitor industry, joins with him in his speculations and enjoys the success that has been theirs with the same modest interest-always studying the market and dipping in here and there as seems good to them. Religious Thought. Gems of Truth Gleaned from Principal Sermons Recently Delivered in the United States and Canada by the Leading Clergymen, Priests, Prelates and Prof ssors of the Christian Faith. [Orator-Outburst. Spokane.] The Preacher.—The preacher's worth in the world is largely measured by his estimate of what the pulpit should be worth. Rev. M. Harlan, Church of Christ, Brooklyn, N. Y. Courage.—The highest courage is to trust in the power of the spiritual qualities over the material.—Rev. Frank Crane, Congregationalist, Worcester, Mass. War and Labor.—Wherever else the blows of war may fall, in their last deadliest thrust they smite the common laborer. Rev. S. Edward Young, Presbyterian, Pittsburg, Pa. Then and Now.Once, we are told, it took one sermon to convert three thousand souls; now it takes three thousand sermons to convert one soul.—Rev. T. J. Villers, Baptist, Indianapolis, Ind. Eternal Life.—Eternal life is not a quantity—it is a quality. It is not something we receive when the pilgrimage is over; it is something we have at this present moment.—Rev. G. C. Morgan, Presbyterian, New York City. Adam's Sin.—The first man is supposed to have committed an act which incurred the wrath of God. All are born to the inheritance of this wrath and anger of God.—Rev. P. G. Sears, Episcopalian, Meridan, Miss. Small Temptations.—The young man who is bound to go to the devil is going there anyway, but there are many who are led from the straight path by small temptations.—Rev. + F. A. Strough, Congregationalist, Pawtucket, R. I. Justice.—God will give back to every man that which is his. He will defend the fatherless and the poor, and he will give unto the widow her due. He will judge all who should be judged.—Rev. G. F. Miller, Episcopalian, Brooklyn, N. Y. The Colored Church.—The white people are doing a great deal more than the colored people for their churches, because many of the colored men have been known to deceive people.—Rev. J. W. Johnson, African Episcopalian, Petersburg, Va. Dishonesty.—Some men think that the conditions of business are such as to prevent a man living a Christian life. This is a great mistake, and it is a wonder that any dishonest man can succeed in business at all.—Rev. S. M. Dick, Methodist, Worcester, Mass. The Bible.—From the point of educated literature the Bible is simply preeminent. It enlightens and enlarges the minds of its readers. It is impossible to be a thorough Biblical student and remain a small-souled man.—Rev. F. K. Sanders, Presbyterian, New Haven, Conn. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Charity.—If the men that have money only knew the worth of money, and instead of wasting their substance in riotous living or in ostentatious extravagance would use it for the mitigation of the misery that is all around them.—Rev. P. S. Hanson, Baptist. Boston, Mass. Russia.—Man may be a nominal Christian and yet not stand for real Christianity. A nation may be nominally Christian, so as to excommunicate a heretic like Tolstoi, and yet surpass in cruelty and inhumanity the most heinous of heathen nations.—Rev. Charles Wadsworth, Presbyterian, Philadelphia, Pa. Scriptural Geography. The scriptures somehow are wrapped up with geography. The story is associated with rivers and gardens and mountains and sky. This book has a constant background of terrestial reality. You can take a passage and go to the very part where these things are. Rev. M. W. Stryker, Presbyterian, Clinton. New York. St. Vincent de Paul.—St. Vincent was indeed the ideal of Christ's good shepherd, and though he has been dead hundreds of years, still every good Catholic should try to imitate his virtues and strive to accomplish a little in the way of spreading the truth and ministering to the wants of the poor and needy.—Rev. F. V. Nugent. Roman Catholic, San Francisco, Cal. Nothing to Fear.—The Bible has nothing to fear from intelligent, painstaking and reverent criticism. Its integrity as the inspired word of God, has stood every test which legitimate criticism has applied to it as well as the assaults of those who would gladly undermine its authority if they could.—Rev. J. H. Sutherland, Presbyterian, Burlington, Ia. The Old and New.—Whatever it be, the old is always tiresome, only the new is interesting. To the naturalist the world retains its fascination, although an old world, because of the deeper entrance he day by day gains into that world and the ever fresh disclosures of newly discovered wonderfulness and beauty that she thereby makes over to him.—Rev. C.' H. Parkhurst, Presbyterian, New York City. The True Jew.—To be a Jew is to be a man. One who imitates and fears no one but God. How many there are of the younger men of our race, especially in America, who do naught of these things. They proclaim themselves a Jew only by exhibiting the distinguishing features placed in the center of their faces.—Rabbi M. S. Margolies, Hebrew, Boston, Mass. A MULE DID IT. And now it transpires that a mule was responsible for the declaration of war between Nicaragua and Honduras. To us it seems a rather simple thing to go to war over, but it may have been the only mule those fellows were able to buy, and the life of the nation was absolutely dependent on the possession of the animal. Great European nations have gone to war on things equally as simple, and the dark complected brother is rather inclined in this age to ape his white brother, and an evidence of it may be seen in the present Central American conflict. Eliot's Views on the Negro. Resenting President Eliot's suggestion that white and colored students might be separated at Harvard should there be a sufficient number of colored students to justify the separation, some of the Boston school committee men are up in arms because such a sentiment is entertained even by such a distinguished educator in a community where the anti slavery agitation started. Edwin A P. Shute, head master of the sherwin school, that has a larger number of colored pupils than any other grammar institution in the city, considers the idea of segregation on account of color entirely uncalled for, and sees no reason for Eliot's attitude. He declares that there are no better boys in the school than the black pupils, and says that in both scholarship and deportment they rank well with the white students. Mr. Shute, incidentally, is a member of the Twentieth Century Club, where President Eliot aired his views. Head Master Lincoln Owen, of the Rice training school, says the policy of that institution, when white or black enrolls, is to give him the best possible instruction. The views of these two educators seem to embody the ideas and opinions of those who differ with President Eliot, Boston schools will never consider the color line, even if there should be a sufficient number of black pupils to constitute a problem.—Brockton Times. Belongs to the Dark Ages. Frequent attempts by Graves of Spokane county to amend his freak bill to censor the press have not materially altered its vicious and un-American principle. The bill specifies certain subjects—subjects which vitally concern the home and society which it would bar entirely from the columns of the press, regardless of how pure the motive and how chaste the language in which a person might seek to reveal conditions in life and society, and regardless of conditions which might make it imperative that the public should have knowledge of what was transpiring around it. Under this bill as Graves has amended it in his endeavor to make it less odious to the people, the newspapers of this state could not print the news, for example, if an ex-president of the United States, or an ex-governor of the state, or distinguished men in any lines of endeavor should be assassinated. The bill is out of tune with the 20th century. It belongs to the dark ages, when bigots, tyrants and ignoramuses dictated by law what the people should wear, what they should read and not read, how far they should walk on the Sabbath day and what they might or might not discuss in public places and the public press.

POLITIGAL POT-PIE When Governor Mead named State Senator R. W. Condon on the A.Y.P. commission he for once acted with political wisdom and business judgment. Senator Condon is a friend to Seattle and to the state and on the commission will do all in his power to have the entire state benefitted by the exposition. Seattleites are well pleased with the appointment because they know Senator Condon will not be working against Seattle all the time because he does not live in Seattle. The exposition will be held in Seattle, but it is intended to benefit the entire Northwest even to the utmost points of Alaska. The direct primary bill has been signed by the governor and it is now a law. The politicians are slowly pulling themselves together and their heads are beginning to peep up here and there. While no positive announcements have been made for any state offices, yet it is being hinted that aside from Gov. Mead, the Hon. S. G. Cosgrove, the Hon. Lee A. Johnson, the Hon. John Polson, and the Hon. W. H. Paulhamus have the gubernatorial bee in their bonnets, which is buzzing so loudly just now that the friends of the gentlemen herein mentioned are distinctly able to hear its buzz. * * * Now that the state has separate congressional districts there are those that have had an eye single to Congress in the past that are inclined to think they have an opportunity to get in and drill and perhaps make a hit for themselves. Certain it is that so far as the present members are concerned they have no more of a cinche on the nomination than the other fellow further than the precedent of having been to Congress and gotten some favors for their constituents. *** In the first district, which is represented by the Hon. Will E. Humphrey, of King county, there are a large number of statesmen, who are very anxious to warm the seat he has been warming for the past six years and the Pie-maker would not be surprised to see a number of applicants for the job put in their appearance within the next few months. On the eligible list in King county may be named Scott Calhoun, Will H. Morris, Edward B. Palmer, and Jas. D. Hoge; in Kitsap county, R. W. Condon; in Snohomish county, J. A. Falconer and F. H. Brownell; in Whatcom county, C. I. Roth, Gov. Mead, et al. In the second district, which is now represented by the Hon. Francis W. Cushman, there seems to be no one as yet who desires to cross political swords with him; it is claimed there are those in Tacoma who would like to do so if they could get the right kind of encouragement from those who have for a long time opposed Cushman. Frank, it is very generally believed, is dead safe to succeed himself and dictate to an extent the political policy of the district. It has not been decided as yet whether THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the Hon. Wesley L. Jones will try to succeed himself from the third district or not. He may throw up the sponge and make a hit for the United States Senate. He is being urged to this by some of the shrewdest politicians in the state and it is reported that he is half inclined to do so. If Jones should shy his castor into the senatorial race Tom Rockwell of the state tax commission would be a strong candidate to succeed him and if he should get Spokane county solid he would almost land the nomination. The Ankeny forces have not decided on a man as yet for they are not certain whom they will have to fight in the senatorial race. They too are inclined to pick up a Spokane man for Congress and yet they may try to force Cosgrove out of the gubernatorial race by putting him into the Congressional race, but it is not believed that Cosgrove will be side-tracked. Frank Rust's anxiety that the state get nothing but the best of printing, offering this as an excuse for not favoring the bill that permits the boys at the reform school to do a part of the state printing, is like "the baseless fabric of a vision" and likewise both silly and selfish. Rust should not be disturbed as to whether or not the state gets good printing as he seems to have no visible interest in the state only to agitate for the labor trust. The legislature did not pass a more meritorious measure than the one which permits some of the state printing to be done at the reform school by the inmates, as it will be the means of many of those unfortunates learning a useful trade, but of course Frank Rust has no interest in the children of the state unless he is assured they will become public agitators of his unsavory stripe. It is unfair to the man of tomorrow to allow the boys of the reform schools to grow to manhood in the light of criminals, and if the reform schools would reform themselves more on the order of industrial schools that those graduating from them would be sent out on the world useful men and women instead of confirmed criminals as has been the case with reform school inmates in the past, it would be a long step in the right direction. HARRY THAW'S FATE. The Jerome-Delmas show over in New York is about to come to a close in spite of the opposition of the two chief actors, who are searching high and low for alienists or some other kind of crazies to prolong the show for the benefit of the yellow journals and self legal advertising purposes. Jerome has struggled hard all through the trial to make a hell cat out of Evelyn Thaw, while Delmas has struggled equally hard to make the same out of Stanford White, and to our mind both of them have succeeded beyond their fondest hope or expectation. Probably Harry Thaw or some one else would have been perfectly justified in killing both White and Evelyn, that the world might be rid of such bad human rubbish, but Jerome will hardly convict Harry Thaw under the evidence he has submitted to the jury in the present trial, and it seems to be the hope of those who have followed the trial that he will not do so. Any man under similar circumstances would have done just as did Harry Thaw, and if he had not he would show to the world that he was devoid of a single spark of manhood. PANDERING TO POPULISM. William Gillham, a Madison Street inspector, has been arrested charged with manslaughter growing out of the accidental killing of Mrs. Barrett a few days ago on that road. This arrest is nothing more or less than pandering to public populism, which seems desirous of extracting blood money from a corporation for no other reason than because it is a corporation. Gillham nor none of the officials of the company can be reasonably held responsible for the accident, and certainly not criminally so. The road bed was under course of repairs and the mishap to the car on which she was riding at the time of the accident seems to have been one that could not have been avoided if every official and employee about the company had been present endeavoring to prevent it, but be that as it will or may, it is simply persecution to arrest an inspector for that which a conductor or motorman is responsible. Pandering to public sentiment, whether right or wrong, may be splendid political scheming, but it seems darn poor law and still worse judgment. Whether or not the Seattle Electric Company is liable for pecuniary damages to the relatives of the deceased will doubtless be determined in the courts, but it does not look reasonable to send an inspector to the penitentiary for something that he knew nothing in the world about, and in attempting to do so it is a clear case of using the law to extract blood money from a corporation. BRONWSVILLE RAID ECHOES The United States senate investigation of the now rather famous Brownville raid, in which three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were involved, which has been dragging along in a humdrum way for many weeks, but developed into quite a sensation one day this week, when a man in Texas, who claimed to have been one of the discharged soldiers, declared that he was with the gang on the night of the shooting, and while the entire company did not know of the raid at the time it was done, all knew about it soon thereafter, and other such evidence as would tend to put the infantry in a rather bad light before the committee. The pleasant turn of affairs to those anxious to see the actions of the president sustained, did not last but a few brief hours, for it soon transpired that the man was as crazy as a March hare. The investigation has brought out a great deal of evidence, and every bit of it, with few exceptions, have favored the soldiers. So strong has the evidence been in their favor that leading men of the country are wondering why President Roosevelt does not come squarely out and admit that those Southern murderous outlaws buncomed him. ee ‘a ; Pte ae pe m CO es WA eo Bas eS) oe ug a 3 . op 5 ok pa a 4 ; ee a F : pre “a ies Bis. ae y ee Rts, ier ct ae as eS i aS A - “Murder in the second degree’? was the verdict of the jury in the case of the state against Lorenz Fisher, alias Poiznsky, who was charged with having murdered Alexan- der Seroupa, and who at the same time wounded a brother of the deceased so badly that he will be maimed for life, at the min- ing camp of Ravensdale. It was doubtless the sweetest piece of news that Poiznsky ever heard, for he must have been thoroughly con vinced before the trial that he could not es- eape with anything short of murder in the first degree, which meant death on the gal- lows for him. He was defended by A. J. Speckert, who is one of the leading criminal lawyers of the Northwest, and it is due to the masterly plea Mr. Speckert made to the jury in his defense that a verdict of murder in the second degree instead of one in the first was brought in. Guilty men some: times do not get their just deserts, owing to the cleverness of the attorneys they have to look after their defense, and it would seem that a more brilliant example of such was never more apparent than in the defense of Poiznsky by Mr. Speckert. Attorney A. J. Speckert has rapidly forged to the front as a practitioner in the courts of this state, his success for the most part being all but phe- nomenal. While he has in no wise sought or asked political honors, yet his name is frequently mentioned among the eligibles for high office in the county and state, and the writer would not be surprised if before he A. J. SPECKERT. has lived in King county many months more he will not be asked to allow the use of his name for one of the Superior Court judges or some other office along the line of his profession. Owing to the fact that there are in the neighborhood of some 900 lawyers in Seattle it means something to reach the top of the ladder as a practitioner here, but Mr. Speckert has done that, and he is to be con. egratulated. A dispatch from Meridan, Miss., tells how District Attorney J. H. Currie, . who delivered the charge to the grand jury for the judge scored the white men of the South for their unlawful association with colored women. Referring to the Negro as an inhabitant of this country, Mr. Cur- rie is quoted as saying: “He came here an ignorant savage, full of laughter, good humor, story and song. If he had any virtue it was the virtue of submission and obediende, and he made the | THE HOUSE OF | QUALITY | We carry thp greatest line of Pianos | i} in the world. | Victor Talking Machine SHERMAN, CLAY & CO. 1406 2nd Ave. SSI a ei a a a i a i THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN J.

As a slave he was faithful beyond all the exam- ples of history, for in the midst of the most sanguinary war of modern times, the pa- tient, long-suffering Negro stood by the home of his master and maintained the women and children of the South and at the same time supported the army that fought to fix his destiny in civilization without a murmur.

The Selby-Marshal nuptials last Wednesday evening, which made Mr. Wm. Marshal and Miss Georgetta Selby one in heart and soul, was one of the most brilliant wedding affairs that has ever taken place in Seattle among the Afro-Americans. They were married at the A. M. E. church and at 8:30 o'clock sharp, the wedding march, rendered by Miss Emma Vernon Houston, announced the coming of the wedding party. The church was beautifully decorated; the ushers in full dress. The march to the altar with the bride leaning on her father's arm was perfect. As the maids of honor and the flower girls stood encircled about the high contracting parties, a picture fit for the gods was presented to the assembled guests. The groom with his best man met the bride at the altar, where the officiating clergyman, Rev. F. L. Donohoo, stood waiting. The ceremony over the march to the carriages began, which was as perfect as that to the altar. As the happy pair passed down the aisle a shower of rice fell upon them and not exhausting their supply Mr. and Mrs. Selby, who followed the bridal party out, received a goodly portion of it. The reception was held at the Selby home, where many assembled to extend their congratulations to the bride and groom. The wedding gifts were not only numerous but exceedingly elaborate, and showed in what high esteem Miss Georgetta Selby was held by those who knew her as a young lady. The bridesmaid was Miss Mamie Oldwin, of Bellingham. The maids of honor were, Miss Alma Clark, Miss Myrtle Warmick, Miss Gertrude Harvey, Miss Eva Herd, Miss Susie Miller, Miss Charlotte Dunne. The flowergirls were, Della Selby and Doris Grace. The groom's best man was Mr. Clarence Selby, brother of the bride, and the ushers were, John W. L. Fort, Hayden Richardson, Stephen Glass, Bryan Clark, Robert Harvey, Leo Fletcher, Fred Harris, C. C. Hancock. Go to a respectable place to borrow money on diamonds, jewelry and watches. Low rates.
