Most people are of the opinion that that was not Harriman's first lie. Harry Thaw may have been crazy when he killed White, but he aint no fool just now and even Jerome realizes that. Notwithstanding the change of presidents in the Great Northern there is still a great Hill for Harriman to evercome. Its refreshing to realize that Easter has passed and that while many of us are badly disabled financially yet we are still in the ring. It can hardly be said that the political pot in this state has begun to boil, but it is simmering so loudly that a boil is all but in sight. Prevaricating may be common to journalism, but it takes the subscription dodger to get down to lying by Gilman's watch. Dr. Williams, the Portland alienist, seems to have all kinds of evidence stored away for the convenience of Prosecuting Attorney Mackintosh's various criminal cases. That New Jersey goose that is 72 years old and is still as active as a gosling is not the only old "hen" that cackles and struts around among the "pullets" trying to be young. We are still of the opinion that if a million or so Italian laborers would immigrate to the Southern states they would go a long way toward simplifying the race troubles in that section. Sore throat having become an epidemic among the fish in the streams of Pennsylvania its up to their mama's to tie their stockings around their t.roats before retiring at night. Last Monday being All Fool's Day the editor hereof went out on a tour of subscription collection and at the close of the Historical Society LE REPUB storing SEATTLLE. WASHINGTON APRIL 5. 1907 day realized that he might be classed among the fools. Is there still something untold in the Hall-Constantine case that would be the crowing sensation of the trial that Myra would not tell and that neither side wanted to come out unless absolutely necessary? Its all very easy for some over enthusiastic real estate dealer to declare, "Seattle leads in prosperity," but we suspect real estate men in every other city out West would not hesitate to declare the same thing for their town. In giving ten million dollars for charity Mrs. Russell Sage has no way of cinching the public to repay the amount with accrued interest, as has Rockefeller when he gives and then raises the price of oil to even up. If its a crime for the Japanese to hiss at the flag of the United States, its no less a crime for the labor unions to do so and the one should be condemned just as severely as the other, and would be if the latter did not have a vote. The 2nd of April came, the Morning Swillbarrel was issued and despite those great events the people of Seattle moved about just the same as if they had never come. What a disappointment it must have been to Blethonious. The Seattle Republican desires to announce to the legal fraternity of this city and state that it would take it as a personal favor if you would give it either a part or all of your legal publications. Some one will call for the notice if you will ring up Main 305. Dr. Van Waters, the miserable reprobate, who made a specialty of despoiling little girls not yet in their teens, who was sent to the penitentiary for 25 years, has been pardoned and as an excuse for doing so it was said that he was dying of consumption. Had he got his just deserts he would long ago died of hemp-stretching instead of later pretending to be dying of consumption. Easter, which occurred in March this year, is now a thing of the past and time computors say that it will be 100 years before Easter will come in March again and by that time the editor hereof will be out of commission. If March is to bring us such unpleasant Easters as the one just passed and the one five years ago then we do not care if there is never another March Easter. There is no doubt but that the Lord was on Uncle Sam's side in the Manilla battle UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. because he won, but if your Uncle Sam had not have shot right the Lord would have been in doubt as to whose side to be on. Of course the Seattle Republican will appreciate a legal publication from you, Mr. Attorney, and if you do not believe it try it once. Negro help is badly wanted in this section and the Seattle Republican will get it for you if you will but lend a helping hand in making its Northwest Negro Progress number a success. If Harriman did not tell a wilful lie on the President then its up to him to prove that the President told one on him. That there is a lie out somewhere down the line is plain to be seen. There seems to be no denying the fact that Gov. Albert E. Mead has been swinging round the circle for the past week and incidentally doing a bit of politics for himself. They all do it. Editor Charles D. Ulmer may not have earned a fortune at running a newspaper, but he got a street car by owning a lot near the street car line, as one of the cars left the track and landed right side up with care in his lot. If Secretary Taft wins the Ohio supremacy contest and is nominated for the presidency, and if Bryan is nominated by the Democrats, demagogue though he is, fully ninety per cent. of the Negro voters of the North will vote for Bryan. "Politics has been robbed of all the fun there is in it by the direct primary law," said a prominent Everett politician, who has played at the game at times and lost. Well, it looks as though it had not only been robbed of all the fun there is in it, but all the dough as well, or that's the way its beginning to size up to the newspaper fiend. After a long and successful if not brilliant railroad career James J. Hill of Great Northern fame has resigned from the presidency of the Great Northern and his son, L. D. Hill has been elected to succeed him. No man in the history of railroadism has succeeded so well as James J. Hill and if for no other reason than that he started at the very bottom of the ladder and round by round crawled until he reached the very top, he should be lauded by the general public. The world has seen few men the equal of Mr. Hill and young men the world over would do well to emulate both his sterling and saving qualities. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` Hon. D. Rowen, of Dallas, Texas, who now operates one of the few first-class dry goods store among that people, is planing to take out a $25,000 charter and operate in that city a large department store. In the absence of an apparent cause for divorce proceedings from her husband, Mme. Emma Eames is looking for a bit of newspaper notoriety which she could only get in the divorce mills, but the women love it and the men do not despise it and why not. Architect and builder John A. Lankford is preparing to erect in Baltimore a temple for the Good Hope society. It is to be a mammoth structure; said to be the largest building in the United States designed by a Negro, and it is estimated to cost two-hundred thousand dollars. When the white folk of the South do the fair thing by the Negro the much mooted race problem of the South will have been settled immediately. The Negro is neither persistent nor presumptious even for his own rights and if treated half way decent he will make as good a citizen as the white man himself and that too with one-tenth the training. It has been truly said, "it never rains but it pours." It seems that the Seattle Electric company is having more than its share of accidents just now, all of which means legal troubles galore for the company. Within the past month more accidents have happened on the road than have ever before happened and yet the officers must be using more care to prevent accidents than they ever did before, as they are certainly not inviting troubles to come to their door. Daddy Clayson is still wasting his golden moments fighting wind mills and defending whisky criminals. Here is a man with a master mind who has spent a life of thre-score and ten years muck-raking. He has always been able to see the pigeon on the barn a hundred times more readily than he could see the barn. For forty years he has thus frittered his time away and is today at the bottom of the ladder where he started when he first set foot in the Puget Sound country. White Star Tailoring Co.

The first civil rights case to be tried in the municipal courts of Chicago, occurred yesterday when Judge Foster fined the Oriental Shanghai $25 for refusing to serve E. J. White, a Negro, and friend, on October 19, of last year. White testified that one of the waiters approached him and announced that the Restaurant did not serve THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Negroes. When he did not leave, he declared, the proprietor of the restaurant went up to his table and ordered him to leave.—Chronicle. Race Unity in the South. The leaders of the two races in Georgia have banded together to better the existing conditions in that state. One movement is headed by Ex-Governor Norton, who is lecturing throughout the state urging better relations between the races. His plan is to form a commission to confer and adjust differences; to have all laws revised on a just and equitable basis, especially such laws as pertain to trial and punishing of persons charged with criminal assault, and punishment of leaders of mobs. The other movement is being urged by Dr. John E. White, pastor of the First Baptist church of Atlanta, who reported to the conference that it is gaining great headway. "Five of the wealthiest men in the South," Dr White stated, "have put all they have behind the movement. We contemplate the organization of all the moral forces of the South in one great body and the appointment of a commission composed of the best and most learned men in the South to handle the problem and deal with the situation affecting the relationship of the races." Shows Heavy Gain. The total estimate of the national wealth in 1904 was $107,104,192.,410, according to a special report just issued by the census bureau on wealth, debt and taxation, which represents the increase in the four year period from 1900 to 1904 of $18,588, - 885,635. This advance in national wealth has no parallel in the history of the United States except the decade from 1850 to 1860. In 1850 when the first estimates of national wealth were made, the figures were only $7,135,780,228. The most potent cause for the increase of the nation's wealth from 1900 to 1904, it is stated, was the reaction from the low prices of the period of depression, from 1893 to 1896. The annual increase of wealth per family from 1900 to 1904 was $182. The various forms into which the nation's wealth is divided, with their valuations, are as follows. Real property and improvements taxed, $55,510,228,057; real property and improvements exempt, $6,831,244,570; live stock, $4,073,791,736; farm implements and machinery, $844,899,863; manufacturing machinery, tools and implements, $3,297, 754,180; gold and silver coin bullion, $1,998, 603,303; railroads and the requirements, $11,244,752,000; street railways, $7,292, 966000; telegraph systems, $227,400,000; telephone systems, $585,840,000; Pullman and private cars, $123,000,000; privately owned water works, $275,000,000; privately owned central electric lighting and power plants, $562,851,105; agricultural products, $1,899, 375,652; manufacturing products, $7,409, 391,688; imported merchandise, $495,543, 685: mining products, $408,066,787; clothing and personal adornments, $2,500,000,000; furniture, carriages and kindred property $5,750,000,000. The total public indebtedness of continental United States in 1902, was $2,789, 990,120; and the total per capita indebtedness was $35.50. The total indebtedness of the national government for the same year was $925,011,637, and the per capita indebtedness was $11.27. The indebtedness of the Udited States government is its gross indebtedness less cash in the treasury. The total indebtedness of continental United States in 1890 was $1,789, 112,,842; that of the national government was $851,912,752 and the per capita was $31.76 and $13.60 respectively. In public debt of continental United States is shown to have been approximately, $115,206,558, or annual payment of $1.46 for each individual. In Great Britain the per capita indebtedness of all classes, national and local, was 3.93 that of the United States; in France 4.86, and in Italy 2.25. The assessed valuation of property subject to advolorem taxation has increased from 1850 to the present time, but it has not kept pace with the increase in the actual national wealth. The total assessed valuation of property in 1902 was $35,338,-316,833, while in 1890 it was only $25,473,-173,418. The estimated true value of all property in 1902 was $97,810,749,590, against $65,037,091,085. The total levies of advalorem taxes was, in 1902, $724,736,539, and the tax rate per $100 of estimated true value $.074. The net indebtedness of the country was slightly less at the close than at the beginning of the year. In the case of the national government, states and territories and counties, the receipts exceeded the payments, and at the close of the year these governments had smaller net indebtedness than at the beginning. In the case of minor civil divisions and especially the large cities, the situation was reversed and the payments for expenditures exceeded the revenue receipts, causing an increase in net indebtedness.

There is enough material in sight to fill the building from cellar to gar- ret. But exhibits of the Negroes highest capabilities will be received to the last. * * * Rev. James F. Brice, a cabinet maker and wood carver of Lexington, Ky., and pastor of the Seventh Day Adventest church, colored, has been granted a patent on a door hinge that is absolutely new and unique in its conception. Two doors hang on the same hinge, either of which can be opened or closed without disturbing the other. * * * Dr. Alexander Walters made a great speech at Chicago a few days ago; he strongly advised our people to contend strenuously for every right guaranteed us by the constitution of the United States. Among other things he said: “T here and now call upon the colored citizens of Chi- cago—indeed of the whole country— to dedicate themselves anew to the work of securing their rights, with a resolve to con- tinue to death, thus leaving to our children the heritage ofa manly struggle to save them from serfdom. * * * Armstrong Manual Training School, the finest example the race has in America, of, the city idea of industrial education, will have an imposing exhibit, planned by Prin- cipal W. Bruce Evans. The devices and mechanical inventions by Mr, Arthur C. Newman are among the many striking fea- tures. They are simply wonderful and must be seer in operation to be properly appreciated. The Negro exhibit will occupy six acres of the Exposition grounds, and will have several structures for the use of concess- jonaries, besides the $40,000 main building. * @ * Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke to three-thousand students at Harvard Uni- versity, the subject of the address was, “The Influence of Education.” After the address the twenty-one Negre students gave him an informal reception. In his talk at the reception Dr. Washing- ton emphasized the importance of young Negro men at college: striving to achieve THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN individual success before attempting to solve the entire race problem. He said a single individual success is a better contri- bution to the solution of the race problem than a hundred speeches delivered by men who had never achieved anything worth while in their lifetime. * * * Joshua Wallace Voohies, a Negro, has filed a petition signed by 678 members of his race with the city clerk in Kansas City, Kansas, asking that his name be placed on the ballot for mayor on the Independent ticket to be voted at the coming municipal election. Voohies was born a slave in Nashville, Tenn., just before the close of the civil war. He has been a member of the police force and deputy street commissioner and is now in business for himself. “Do you expect to win?” was asked of Voohies. “Sure I do. Wouldn’t have entered the race if I hadn’t. No man ever lost yet that I backed for office. I can push myself in the same way.”’ Mr. Voohies is on the right track and what the Negro needs above all things is political independence. * * # Arthur L. Curtis, son of Dr. A. W. Cur- tis, a well-known colored surgeon, of Wash- ington, D.

This is the most coveted prize offered at this noted school, and it is the first time that the Am- herst cup has been won by a junior class- man. The subject of the debate in ques- tion was, ‘‘Resolved that further restric- tion of European immigration is undesira- ble.” Mrs. Namah Curtis, fiscal agent of the Negro exhibit of the Jamestown Expo- sition, who has been to Boston on business connected with her department, was pres- ent and witnessed her son’s notable tri- umph. ** * @ With the hope of inducing Afro-Ameri- cans from the South to come to the North- west prompted the Seattle Republican to issue a special edition of the paper known as the Northwest Negro progress number. Facts and figures corgerning tie black man in this section of tae country wll be the chief figure of the edition, which facts and figures will be liberally interspersed with pictures of such of them, who are en- deavoring to forge ahead in commercial, industrial and pastoral lines throughout the state, and likewise the pictures of many of their homes. The edition will be published on the highest grade of double enamel pa- per in order that the very best results may be obtained from the cuts and when com- plete it cannot help but attract general at- tention; and if it is placed in the Nogro building of the Jamestown Exposition, as it will be, Negroes in the South will begin to ask about the state of Washington and and the best and cheapest route to get here. That we may make a complete success of the undertaking an appeal is herewith made to the business men and to those homes desirous of securing colored help to do something to help us pus the book be- fore the Southern black folk. There is no better way to do this than to place large numbers at the Jamestown Exposition for free distribution. One-thousand colored women could find employment in Seattle at wages ranging from $20 t» $30 per raonth today and some few even higher than that, but so long as they do not know of such conditions, just so long will this help fam- jne continue. You who need help have an opportunity to help yourselves by render- ing this proposition some assistance and if nothing more by placing an advertisement of your business in the edition as that will help to give it a standing which will act as a reference for the appeal it will make to those folk whom it will endeavor to interest in this section. * * * On June 3, in Washington, D. C., for On June 3, in Washington, D. C., for the first time a comic opera in two acts en- titled ‘‘The Isle of Never,’’ will be pre- sented. Itis the product of two of our young men. The book and lyrics were written by G. Luther Sadgwar and the mu- sic by Clarence Cameron White. The prin- cipals in the opera will be of the best local talent and the chorus made up of 30 more picked voices. The ballet will include 20 and an orchestra of 15 will be used. News of the Week.

Cor. 1st Av. and University. meee, OFF VYVOT SALE BEGAN TODAY Here we are with thousands upon thousands of dollars’ worth of goods on ‘our hands, prepared and hopeful for a big year’s business, when lo! with no word of warning, we are told to GET OUT—to pick up our duds and move— that other parties have rented our storeroom, and we must MOVE ON—but where? ! ! ? Where are we to go with our enormous stock of pianos, organs, talking machines, small musical instruments and sheet music? ? ? On person advised us to move up on Fourth or Fifth Avenue, another sug- gested to go out in North Seattle and rent a basement in which to store our goods, and one man wrote in from Mukilteo! !—requesting us to move up to THEIR thriving little town. But we don’t desire to go up in the country and join our Fourth and Fifth Avenue brethren, or go out and store our fine pianos in a dark, damp basement, and though the small town of Mukilteo might ap- preciate a big music house like Kohler & Chase, we hardly think we can accom: modate our kind friend and neighbor of the northern suburb. SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED. The above suggestions and many others kindly offered by our friends, are greatly appreciated. However, we have yet to receive a practical solution of the problem we are up against. Although we have a permanent location spoken for, where a “Grand Temple of Music Building” will be erected for our use (and right in the heart of Seattle, on Second Avenue, too), nevertheless, THAT building will not be ready for us for SIX MONTHS or MORE. In the meantime, there is only one thing to be done—and that is to GET RID OF our present stock of pianos (at wholesale prices, if necessary) and by so doing we will save heavy storage charges, insurance, as well as loss by damage (which there would surely be, if stored in some damp, unsuitable place for six months or more). JOINTS DISLOCATED. ” The fact of our selling pianos at such unusually LOW PRICES will dislo- cate the joints of the piano business in Seattle. We know that, and we are mighty sorry to be the cause of it. - How, for instance, are the other dealers to do business and make usual profits when we (their door-neihgbors) are selling pianos at actual cost laid down in Seattle? It isn’t a case of profit with us—NOT AT ALL. WHY, “LORD BLESS YOU,” if we get what the goods cost us, and get them off our hands, we will be the happiest people in “ALL SEATTLE.” Let us have what we are IN— and if you are bent on paying the usual profit on the piano you buy, then buy it of our worthy competitor. AN HONEST OFFER. Perhaps there is not a man, woman or child on the Pacific Coast—from Los Angeles to Bellingham—who is not more or less acquainted with the big music house of Kohler & Chase. Over FIFTY-SEVEN years of business on the Coast has demonstrated to everybody that, though Kohler & Chase may be old-fashioned in their methods of doing business, nevertheless they are HONEST. In other words, when we say a thing is SO, you can depend on it—right TO the LETTER. Now, we make an honest offer to the people of Seattle and vicinity. We have these goods on our hands (we wis hwe hadn’t—BUT WE HAVE), and want to get rid of them; we want the cost prices plus actual cost of selling. We don’t want a cent of profit—just give us the cost, and we will be MORE DELAYED CARLOADS NOW ARRIVING. To say that we are hard up AGAINST IT is putting it mildly. With prob- ably twice the stock on hand of any other music dealer in Seattle—and dozens of delayed storm-bound carloads now arriving—cars that should have reached us one month or more ago, and no place to put them, is a hard LOT—to say the least. Our retail location has been rented out from under us by a ten-cent store, otherwise, there would be no trouble at all—we could place in storage the sur- plus stock, and work it off from our regular retail store. | MUST BE OUT BY MAY 1. | But after May 1 we will have no retail LOCATION—no place where we can do a retail business. The best we can do is to move up—‘bag and bag- gage”’—to our wholesale location on Pike and Eighth Avenue—and, according to all “horse sense,” “dog sense,” or common sense, we may as well be closed to business entirely as to make the slightest effort to do a retail business so ‘far out of the down-town district. We therefore appeal to the good, kind people of Seattle to take this stock of fine pianos “OFF OUR HANDS.” AN EARNEST APPEAL. | We beseech you to help us out in this time of the greatest difficulty of our lives.

Next week Ben Hendricks, in “Ole Oleson,” will be the attraction at the Seattle. Ben Hendricks has been coming to this city since long before it emerged from swaddling clothes. “Qle Oleson” was seen at the old Seattle Opera House first just after the fire,—in the days when John Han- na was manager, and the crowd broke in the doors before the ticket office opened. Several thousand people were left on the sidewalk unable to get anywhere near the theatre. This Swedish comedy has been here almost every year since, and Ben Hendricks has always been gréeted with véry large audiences wherever he has ap- peared, and he has oscupicl every theatre in the city at one time or another. Everybody knows the story of “Ole Oleson.” It is 2 Jauzh from be- ginning to end, and Mr. Hendricks al- ways has a company that fits the play and fills the bill to perfection. There is only one “Ole Oleson,” that is Ben Hendricks. The people like him best in this play, although he has several others,—that’s why he comes here ey- ery year. The question box was in operation at the Forum last Sunday and proved a most interesting feature. There were nine questions and their answers were given by Rey. J. A. Edmonson. The questions’ covered a wide range of thought, most of them were of great importance to us as a race. The ‘answers were short, concise and log- ‘ical and were most interesting and in- ly oh We give a sample of the questions and answers. - Does money make the man? No, money is a commodity and a device to facilitate exchange, and man makes the money, and education and discipline make the man. What shall we do to better our mor- al condition? To strictly obey the etiquette of morals, live more morally, and live w-ihin the compass of moral philos- ophy and science. _ What advantage to the race would ‘it be if the home of the late Hon. [Frederick Douglas became the prop- erty of the nation? | It would establish a perpetual mem- ory of the acknowledgment of the jheroism and patriotism of a member of our race. | Should the Negroes of the United States live in settlements? | If in the cities, no. Otherwise, yes. _ Would it be wise for the Negro of this country to become members of la- bor unions? As they are today, no. But with- out prejudice, yes. | There was considerable diseussion of the last two. The questions for next Sunday are equally as interesting and every one should attend and hear the answers.
