Ruef, the notorious San Francisco public looter says, "It pays to be a politician." Well. Reuf ought to know. March's lamb-like going out is in order, as she not only came in like a lion but acted like one all of the time she has been with us. If Heney catches Harriman in his drag net for grafters he will have bagged a good deal bigger fish than he thought could be found in so small a pond as San Francisco. Ah, but it will be a great day for Seattle when the 2d of April comes round, when the Morning Times becomes the guiding star of the benighted citizens of this semi-civilized city. We suggest that President Theodore Roosevelt, when he retires from the presidency, take up his abode in Brownsville, Texas, where he can study the race question to his heart's content. San Francisco has had another earthquake, but the latter one confined itself to the grafters. The shaking, however was no less severe than in the one a year ago by which the general public was so badly shaken. Nothing serious has occurred in the war between Nicarauga and Honduras as yet, unless that mule has kicked the wind out of both armies and broken away and gone back to Mizouri where the braying ass is heard in the distant hills. The spring poet has not yet put in his nor her appearance in this part of the moral vinyard, the ice, probably, having not sufficiently thawed out to permit them to escape and that doubtless accounts for the scarcity of obituary notices. If the senate investigation committee should go south to hear the Brownsville folks' side of the raid story what more could they learn even from them than ```markdown ``` SEATTLLE. WASHINGTON MARCH 29. 1907 what those selfsame citizens told President Roosevelt's emisaries about it? Ryan's Legislative Manual is a thing of beauty and Editor J. H. Ryan of the Tacoma Forum is to be congratulated on the general neatness of the publication. It is by far the most complete and valuable manual ever turned out in the interest of a Washington state legislature. We fear old age and actual death will overtake some of those would be Seattle realty investors, who are waiting for real estate in the city to go down from its present prices in order to invest. For 15 years we have waited and watched for that day to come, but it has never come. Saloon keepers, who wilfully violate the Sunday closing law, should be punished, but the police should be careful not to wring in any spite work or any of their personal feelings. The general public wants the law fully obeyed, but will stand for no undue advantage being taken. State school funds were not dropped into the Port Townsend water bond rat hole and thereby making it possible for someone to bag some $150,000 by the deal which they were not entitled to, and it is hinted that had much to do with the insurance publications going to the evening Swillbarrel. Two retired office holders names were forged to a check, on which collection was asked by the forger, but the victim after looking at the two signatures became leary of the genuineness of the check and had the fellow arrested. Who ever heard of an ex-official either having any money in a bank or anywhere else. Mullen and Gill may have had a "falling out," but unless we miss our guess their political and financial interests are too closely allied to not fall in on short notice whenever it is necessary. Such falling out is but another way of accomplishing certain ends that could not be unless a pretense at falling out was made. Grafting seems to be so common to the American people just now that it may well be pronounced a national epidemic. The man in authority who does not graft seems to be the exception and not the rule, and yet we are said to live in a Christian land, where the refining influences of civilization does its work so well that even lo the poor Indian is surrendering to it. And the secretary of state has taken the insurance publications from the Post Intelligencerand gave them to the paper that made him, Nichols, secretary of state. Sam was rather slow in recognizing the good ```markdown ``` UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. work of the Times and likewise showing his appreciation to the paper that stood by him in the past two campaigns, but it is better late than never. Rumor has it that A. L. Walters is about to lose out and that John Hay will be confirmed. We told you The Times was going to sink you, Mr. Walters. Now let others take timely warning. In showing up Harry Thaw's crazy freaks the defendant's lawyers have built better than they expected, for Judge Fitzgerald has ordered a lunacy commission to examine him, which is now trying to send Harry to the mad house instead of the electric chair. A new epoch will dawn in the history of Seattle on April the 2d when The Morning Times hits the town. Twice before the editor in chief of The Times made a similar newspaper spe and each time ignominiously failed, and his chances of succeeding at this time seem no more brilliant than on former occasions. A fool and his money soon part. Philologists like to study slang. They can account for many slang phrases that seem idiotic. Thus: "To give the cold shoulder."—It was the custom in mediaeval France when a guest had outstayed his welcome, to serve him a cold shoulder of mutton instead of the usual hot meat. Flushing the man always took this hint. "Deadheads."—In Pompeii a complimentary ticket to an entertainment took the form of a small ivory skull. "He's a Brick."—A visitor to Sparta found the capitol without walls, and asked the king what he would do in case of invasion in his wallless town. "Sparta has 50,000 soldiers," the king answered, and "each man is a brick." "Catching a Tartar."—During the war between Russia and Tartary a private soldier shouted, "Captain, I have caught a Tartar." "Well, bring him in," the captain rejoined. "He wont let me," the soldier called despairingly, as his prisoner dragged him into the Tartar lines. "Skidoo 23."—The origin of this phrase is lost in the blackness of remotest antiquity. "To eat humble pie."—In the Middle Age, after a deer had been slaughtered, the master of the house and his family ate the choice cuts, while the feet, neck and head were made into a pie. This humble pie was served to the servants and retainers.—Ex. High grade commercial job printing at The Republican on street. 1. A Key to Slang. [Name] P. J. SMITH, Who Does Things. Dr. C. E. Hoye, who for two terms was coroner of King county, but who for the past few years has been in charge of the hospital at the Ravensdale mines, was in the city one day this week looking the picture of health and incidentally sizing up the political situation since the new direct primary law has been passed. It is said that Dr. Hoye has an eye single to the nomination for sheriff of King county, which after casting over the field if possible to learn the true situation he may authoritatively announce. Hailing as he does from the famous south district of this county he will make a strong fight to divide the votes with any one who may cross swords with him therein. "I am not talking politics just yet," said the doctor when accosted by the Pie-maker. "I do not know whether or not I will be a candidate for sheriff, but I think some other candidate besides those who have been mentioned in this connection will have to be trotted out before I would take a back seat. If I decide to go into the fight I propose to make a scarp for it and I am not one of those who makes a losing fight. * * * The other candidates that the Pie-maker has heard spoken of in connection with the shriveality contest are, P. J. Smith, of Isaquah, who for many years was county commissioner and who dictated the nomination of his brother-in-law, A. L. Rutherford to succeed himself. There is hardly any doubt but that Mr. Smith has laid his plans well for the nomination and direct primary or not he will be on hand when the time comes round to land the job. He like Dr. Hoye is strong in the south district and fairly strong in the north district. He has the county machinery behind him and taking it all in all will prove to be rather a formidable candidate. Sheriff Smith will help him all he can and the county commissioners will move heaven and earth to land him. He who thinks Pete Smith is a "dead one" is so far off his trolley that it will take him weeks to get on again. For the past two years or more A. L. Walters, who is now fighting Mayor Moore for the street commissioner's job, has been currently reported as making an active campaign for the nomination of sheriff, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN J. B. DR. C. E. HOYE. Sometimes Plays the Game of Politics when it is time to nominate a successor to Sheriff Lou Smith whose successor will be elected next year. Had Mr. Walter been able to have served two years more as street commissioner he would have been a very strong city candidate for he had the machinery of the city behind him. As it is he is battling for a job with the odds for his winning greatly against him. The Daily Times is backing him in the fight he is making against Mayor Moore, which impresses the average Republican that he if a protege of The Times and that will as completely kill him as if his head was chopped off and thrown into the bay and the body cremated. Anything The Times advocates the better thinking Republicans oppose and for these reasons and these alone the Pic-maker is inclined to believe that Walter's boomlet will die a birning. M. H. JAMES P. AGNEW A King County Boss. [Name not visible] A. L. WALTERS, Protege of The Times. The name of James P. Agnew, the present county auditor, has also been frequently spoken of in connection with this nomination for sheriff, not only by Mr. Agnew's friends, but by Mr. Agnew himself, if rumor can be believed. In the late city campaign Jim Agnew ran the convention nolens volens, and while he ran John Ripplinger out of the state, yet he ran the convention just the same. In the fall campaign his influence was also strongly felt. He for some reason has a strong hold on the party in the county and he is not slow in taking advantage of the grip he holds. There is hardly any doubt but that he will be a candidate for sheriff, and that he will also attempt to name Dr. Breier as his successor as county auditor. Agnew depends upon the influence brought to him by a leading railroad official and whatever precedent he has attained while county auditor to give him the highest office in King county, and the Pie-maker is inclined to think he has a very powerful leverage with which to lift the load. * * * The nominations under the new direct primary law will be made next June a year and of course the men who are seeking political preferment have begun to plan for the primary campaign. * * * Last week The Seattle Republican pointed out to its readers that despite the fact the office of the prosecuting attorney was doing a great deal of boasting of the vigorous manner in which it was prosecuting the violators of the Sunday closing law in the city, yet in Georgetown, practically a part of the city, though not in the corporate limits, the saloons are being run wide open every Sunday, and the saloons being closed in the city hundreds and thousands of drunken saloon bums flock to Georgetown where they spend a part of two nights and all day Sunday drinking and carousing and yet the prosecuting attorney's office is just as mute as a "mice" as to the wilful breaking of the law out there. So bad has it become that Mayor Moore has held a conference with the officials of the Seattle Electric company with a view of putting two policemen on every car in order to keep the drunken crowds quiet. Mr. Mackintosh is serving his last term as prosecuting attorney and since he will hardly be able to land another political job, Senator Piles being unable to deliver, it would seem that he would do his duty and prosecute the vi- olators of the law by filing an information against them. A hundred different men would swear to the complaint and the prosecutor need not stand back for someone to complain. It is his duty when he knows the law is being flagrantly violated to have someone gather the evidence for him. If Mr. Mackintosh is not going to do his duty he ought to get out of office even before his term expires. There seems to be no donbt but that Georgetown is nothing more nor less than a beer garden for the brewery located there and unless the prosecuting attorney's office takes some steps to close the place up on Sundays by summer it will be such a hell hole that a decent man will not dare go through the burg on Sunday, especially if he has his wife and children with him. The brewery plant has been a strong political joker in the hands of Andrew Hemrich and he must be using it with telling effect in the little game with the prosecuting attorney. Georgetown is rapidly becoming the robbers' roost of King county, and the prosecuting attorney and the sheriff are quite cognizant of the fact. Afro=Americanism. Booker T. Washington will speak to the citizens of Indianapolis, Ind. at the Bethel A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. on April 2d. The Kansas legislature has just made an appropriation of $55,880 to Western University at Quindaro, Kansas, and $27,000 to the Topeka Industrial Schooll. The two branches of the K. P. among Negroes have decided to unite. Committees have met and agreed on a basis of union, and August is the date set for the union. Dr. D. J. Saunders, president cf Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C., died March 14, after a brief illness. Dr. Saunders was 60 years old; has been president of Biddle for 19 years. He was a native of Chester, South Carolina. Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, collector of internal revenues for the Second district of New York, has appointed Robert I. Plummer as a deputy in the Tobacco division of his office at a salary of $1,200 a year. Mr. Plummer is a member of the Republican county committee and also of the executive committee of the Colored Republican club of the city of New York. The report of Hon. Morton Marye, auditor of public accounts in Virginia, for 1906, just published, makes the following report relative to the Negroes of that state. "The Negroes own in the state, 1,365,426 acres of farm land valued at $5,844,953. They own houses on them valued at $2,091,- 129. They own personal property valued at $5,989,048. This is by no means a bad showing in 40 years. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Flora Wolfe, the Afro-American who lived with the late Lord Delavel Beresford, of England, in Mexico, as his common law wife for 20 years, has been offered $500,-000, and all cattle on the ranch, valued at $250,000, if she withdraws her claim as the dead lord's wife. She will not accept the offer. The estate is valued at $6,000,-000 and she has proved her right as common law wife, under the Mexican law which the English courts will uphold. In 1776, when the Colonial army under General George Washington moved forward to overtake the British under General Gates, a gun of curious make was left at the camp, which happened to be on the outskirts of a farm owned by a colored man, John Lewis by name. This gun, which has been preserverved in the family of John Lewis as a sacred heirloom, has been kindly loaned to the Negro exhibit, and will be found in the Negro building at Jamestown. The Rhodes scholarship for the state of Pennsylvania has this year been awarded to a colored man. He is Alain Leroy Locke, 712 south Twelfth street, Philadelphia, a senior at Harvard university. In the will of the late Cecil Rhodes it is provided that color or religion shall make no difference in the selection of the candidate, and Locke was chosen on his merits. There were five who passed the examinations, which were held at Lafayette college on January 17 and 18, and of these Locke was deemed the best fitted to receive the P.I. 50 Cents per Month.

The individual, race or nationality that will Jim Crow or discriminate against their own race in business for the sake of currying favor with some other race, and for a few paltry dollars, is a moral, cringing, perveted coward, and is wholly devoid of common sense, self-respect and manhood, and as the Negro is the only race that commits this contemptible, unprincipled, nefarious act, it appeals to him with all the force at our command, and when the other races in business draw the line on the colored man a howl goes up, but they have an iron-clad argument to sustain their position, made so by the Negro business men. How long will this continue?—Denver Statesman. In mobile, according to reliable infortion, out of nineteen letter carriers, eighteen are colored. In Montgomery, out of twenty-four, twenty-two are colored. Mr. C. O. Harris has been chief mailing clerk in the Montgomery postoffice quite a quarter of a century, and no man in the building is more highly respected than he. In Mobile four-fifths of the employees in the postoffice are colored, and the same proportion is true in the Montgomery postoffice. Whenever and wherever there is a civil service examination, the Negro is to be found in large numbers, and he permits nothing to stand in the way of his showing what he can do in the direction of preparing himself to serve the government. Scores of examples can be produced where the Negro distances all competitors and stands at the head of the eligible list. Press, People and Primary Law. According to the provisions of the new primary election law, candidates for office at the primary election are prohibited from paying money or any other valuable thing to a newspaper for advocating their candidacy. Candidates, therefore, who desire to use the press as an aid in bringing about their nomination must own a newspaper or take a subscription from fifty to five-hundred years according to subscription price, size of candidate's purse, and salary and importance of office sought. How the editors will smile as during the campaign preceding the primary election they read in their subscription lists: John Smith, paid to Jan.1, 2407; Peter Jones, paid to Sept. 1, 2200, etc.—Vancouver Columbian. Of course if the Vancouver Columbian assumes that all the newspapers in the state of Washington are corrupt, and that all candidates for office hereafter are to be corrupt also, the primary election law will not count for a great deal, so far as certain vicious practices are concerned; but doesn't this assumption slander the press and people of this state? Any law not backed by healthy moral sentiment must become a dead letter, and the primary election law, if the public, newspapers and politicians conspire to defeat its purposes, will prove no exception to the rule. The case assumed by the Columbian is. of course, possible; but wouldn't it be simpler and easier, and quite as safe, just to give the editor the cold cash? There is a law against murder; but men still men kill each other. There is a law against larceny; but the thief still thrives. It is manifestly impossible for any body of lawmakers, however wise and patriotic they may be, to legislate goodnecs into the souls of men; at the same time lawmakers may put certain reasonable restraints upon the vicious impulses of human nature, and this is precisely what the legislature undertook to do when it wrote the newspaper provisions into the primary election law. Despite unfavorable criticisms these sections will go far toward eliminating the corrupt newspaper as a factor in state politics. Candidates who have fat purses and lean morals may pad a few subscription lists, and otherwise consort with newspapers that think more of the pabulum that jingles than they do of the public weal, but in the final struggle they will have the people and the decent press to contend with. Newspapers that are corrupt enough to sell their opinions will not be strong enough to boost men into the important offices of this state hereafter. The people will decide political contests in Washington henceforth. —Post Intelligencer. News of the Week. FRIDAY. Wm. J. Bryan denies that Mayor Tom L. Johnson is to be his campaign manager.

There is considerable speculation, from the investor's standpoint, in the future of the automobile. People remember the rise and fall of the bicycle craze. In the closing years of the last century people went cycle mad; the industry seemed to be a veritable eldorado and there was a rush to engage in it. Then the craze declined and today there are not one-fourth as many bicycle factories as then. Is the automobile industry destined to share a similar fate? Generally it may be said that this is not probable, yet not impossible. The auto business has not yet passed its fad stage. No one can tell how soon a change in fashion may abandon the auto for some other object of interest, much as it did the bicycle. Yet the chances are that such will not be the case. That the investing world has no such collapse in mind as yet is evident from the census figures of increase during the latter five years of production as shown below: Five Year Growth of the Automobile Industry. Items— 1905 1900 Inc. Pct. Capital ..... $20,555,247 $5,768,857 256.3 Wages ..... 6,178,950 1,320,658 367.9 Cost of Material ..... 11,658,138 1,804,287 546.1 Value of Product ..... 26,645,064 4,748,011 461.1 These figures on the automobile industry illustrate the extreme rapidity with which the demand for new products expanded. In 1900 there were 57 establishments engaged in manufacturing automobiles in this country, and in 1905 the number had ris to 121. Investments at the earlier date ere $5,768,857, and at the latter $20,555,247. The enormous rates of increase contrast sharply with the rapid decrease in the once THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN prosperous bicycle industry, as exhibited in the comparison for the same years: dustry. Items— 1905 1900 Dec. Pct. Establishments 101 312 67.6 Capital $5,883,458 $29,783,659 82.2 Wages 8,189,817 1,917,403 75.9 Cost of Materials 2,682,146 16,792,908 83.9 Value of Products 5,153,240 31,915,908 83.9 While these two branches of industry may be mentioned as similar, they nevertheless occupy very different positions as to their possibilities. The bicycle industry had to look for its demand to personal use, largely for pleasure. With the disappearance of the machine for pleasurable purposes, the industry shrank to an insignificant part of its earlier proportions. A much wider field of service apparently awaits the automobile for the very reason that its uses are applicable to performing many of the commercial operations which are among the most expensive features of distribution. Furthermore it is based upon the application of mechanical power to vehicular propulsion. This fact completely differentiates it from the status of the bicycle as a means of carriage. On account of this the future of the automobile is not by any means liable to the danger of collapse which befell the bicycle trade. The real danger lies rather in the effort to keep up prices to a point which forbids the more general use of the automobile in various forms of travel and traffic. There is hardly a man of the middle classes who does not cherish the hope of some day owning a "bubble." At the present rate it will not be long until all the rich people are supplied with autos and the manufacturers will then be obliged to look elsewhere for a market. This can only be found among the middle classes, and to create a demand in that direction prices will have to come down. We confidently look forward to the time when every farmer and every skilled laborer will be the proud owner of a serviceable auto, and prices will decline so as to be within the reach of all.

The Sunday Forum ever on the alert for something to better the condition of our race took the initiative in an effort to interest our people in the arrangements being made by the Christian Endeavor Society of this city to entertain the delegates that will visit the city in July. While we are satisfied that the general committee and the members of the Society as a whole are too magnanimous to discriminate against any delegate on account of color, yet the Forum considered a committee of members of our race to act in conjunction with the committee of the society would not be out of place. The Forum appointed A. Garfield Harrison, chairman; W. C. Peoples and W. M. J. Wylie, as a committee to co-op-operate with the general committee in securing lodgings for delegates. The committee on entertainment is I. Israel Walker, Prof. J. B. Reed, Mrs. Susie R. Cayton, Mrs. L. M. Harrison, W. L. Presto, Miss Susie Miller, J. T. Gayton, and Mrs. J. C. Robinson. There were a number of interesting and important questions offered that will be answered next Sunday by Rev. J. A. Edmonson. The paper by Mr. J. Fort was most interesting and the subject, "Co-operation," of vital importance to us as a race just now. Mr. Fort gave some very timely advice to our younger people that should do much good in awakening business interest among them. Copies of The Republican can be had at the Office, 215 Marion street. Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Pierre were visitors to the city Sunday. Mr. Pierre is a prominent tailor of Tacoma. Mr. and Mrs. William Marshal returned to the city yesterday and will reside for the present at 1608 Valley St. Wm. Birthright and W. J. Burnsides, both of Butte, Mont., left last Sunday night for Alaska. They will be employed on the "Monarch," a boat plying between Dawson and Fairbanks. Miss D. Williams who has been visiting Mrs. Graves for some time, left on Monday for Portland, Oregon, where she will spend a few days before returning to her home at Council Bluffs, Iowa. Miss Williams contemplates returning to this city this summer to practice her profession as trained nurse. James Green, a barber, well known in this city, came near being burned to death Tuesday evening. Mr. Green was struck on the head by a windlas handle while working in the mines at Dawson. His skull was cracked and since then he has been subject to fits; he had one Tuesday and fell across the cook stove and was burned. Mr. Green is at the Wayside Mission.
