One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .60 Entered at the Postoffice at Sea .e, as Second Class Mail Matter, POLITICAL It is the census of opinion that Mayor Billy Moore is playing a shrewd game of politics in asking the city council to appoint a commission to examine into the general condition of the Seattle Electric Company. It is rather popular among labor unionists and Populists to criticise the Seattle Electric Company not so much for actual negligence on its part, but because it is a big concern and open to extort money from. If Mayor Moore really wants to know of the true condition of the rolling stock and the trackage of the company, why does not he name City Engineer Thomson to make the examination and report to him the true condition of affairs; he has the power. If there is any one man in the city that has the entire confidence of the voters and taxpayers it is Reginald H. Thomson, Alden J. Blethen and the Swillbarrel administered in broken doses to the contrary notwithstanding, and therefore the Pie-maker suggests that Mayor Moore quit playing to the galleries and do things on business principles instead of on political principles. * * * "When thieves fall out honest men get their own," is a time honored saw that seems rather apropos in the contest or controversy that is now going on between Mayor Moore and Councilman Gill. The two are not only making faces at each other, but are calling each other ugly names, and the general public is inclined to believe that neither of them is lying. That Mayor W. H. Moore is playing the game of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to its limit seems quite apparent to any one who has resided in this city for the past decade or more. That in the past he has not been a consistent Sunday school scholar is so well known to the general public that it is useless for any one to comment on it. There is such a thing as reformation on the part of human beings and they sometimes do it, but it is very seldom, and still William Hickman Moore, erstwhile king pen poker player and boozer, may now be a true reformer as mayor of the City of Seattle and will in the future live an exemplary Christian life, devoting his time and talent to the pulpit instead of the poker table, and the pool rooms are not out of the pale of possibility. Let's trust and pray that he will do so. * * * Hi Gill, as all know, is simply an angel without wings, and that there are worse men than Gill somewhere is believed. Hi Gill's SEATTLLE. WASHINGTON APRIL 12, 1907 greatest fault, however, is his persistency of talking out of his mouth. He is totally lacking in diplomacy, common courtesy and even every-day politeness, and for these reasons he appears to the general public as a vulgar bully. He could have read Mayor Moore just as severe a lecture couched in respectable language as the one he did couched in language that would have made a Hotentot in the jungles of Darkest Africa blush behind a palm bush with shame and remorse. As has already been intimated in these columns, the man that Gill attacked is open to criticism, and if common reports be true, Hi Gill is equally culpable. Nobody but a coarse, vulgar brute would use as unbecoming language about a fellow officer as did that the morning paper reported Gill using about the mayor. If Gill can prove what he said about the mayor, then it his duty as a councilman of the City of Seattle to introduce impeachment proceedings against the mayor at once. Put up or shut up. Senator Levi Ankeny has formally announced his candidacy to succeed himself as United States senator and the anti-Ankenyites are beginning to dust up their "glad rags" with the view of making the old man look like thirty cents with a hole in it after he will have finished the battle at the direct primary next year. In the past Ankeny may have been defeated without mercy and that too with him spending a million dollars in the attempt to succeed, but it will be nothing in comparison to what the opposition will do to him with the direct primary ballot in their hands. The old colored man that was paid a large sum of money to stay all night in a haunted house took up the task at dark and until midnight sat reading his bible fearing not the visitations of the dead, but as the hands of the clock pointed to twelve the "mystery" appeared and it was but a moment before the old man was going at a gate that would have defeated Jay Eye See. Down through the timbers he went until he was thoroughly exhausted and he sat himself down to rest, but as he did so the ghost stood by his side and as he sat and looked pleadingly up into the face of the apparition, it said to him: "We have had a long chase." "But, honey, it's nothing to what we's gwine to have." If Senator Ankeny thinks that he had a long chase prior to his election to the United States senate, the Pie-maker takes pleasure in saying to him, it is nothing to what he is going to have. The editor of the Times accuses the editor of the Post-Intelligencer of using language about the editor of the Times that was not only lacking in journalistic courtesy, but even coarse and vulgar and in reading the editor of the Post-Intelligencer a lecture on journalistic courtesy the editor of the Times used language that a Louisiana cornfield nigger driver of ante-bellum days would have hung his head in shame on hearing repeated. The double decker editorial in the Times last Wednesday evening referring to the editor of the Post-Intelligencer was without except * * * * * * tions the most vulgar language ever put in print in a newspaper and especially in a great daily paper as the Times claims itself to be. If there is a brute in the great under world that would have used such language toward a fellow man in the columns of a newspaper he has not as yet been found, but what the editor of the Times will not do in the way of coarse, vulgar abuse has never been discovered. The Insurgents in the Tenth senate are preparing to banquet State Senator R. W. Condon of Kitsap county over in Tacoma in the very near future for the part he played in the leadership in the last legislature and only the true reformers will be invited to partake of the feast and enjoy the hospitalities. Dick Condon made a successful leader and his comrades do well to honor him for the part he played, and in doing so the Piemaker would not be surprised if they do not lay plans for Dick to go to Congress instead of return to the state senate. He is now in the First Congressional district and the Piemaker is inclined to believe he has decided to give the Hon. Will E. Humphrey a chase for his money for the nomination to succeed himself. It is barely possible that the Hon. Sam H. Piles will not be invited to feast with the boys. Speaking about Senator Piles, he will be home within the next few days to learn from the "colonel" and Murky Matt what Sin and Satan have been doing against him since he has been away from the state and if what the Times has said along this line be a criterion as to what they will repeat to the Senator he will hear a tale of woe that will make his very heart sick when he gets back. The insurgents played particular havoc with the Piles-Ankeny political machine last winter, and it begins to look as if not only Ankeny, but even Piles will have to fight and fight like the very devil to hold their own in future contests. Of course the senator has come into the possession of nearly a million dollars since he went to Washington from the Sullivan estate, he not only getting half of the estate for winning it in the courts, but having bought the other half up for a mere song and dance, is in position to furnish some sinews of war. "Thaw not guilty" flashed over the wires Thursday morning and settled as far as the courts are concerned one of the hardest fought cases in the history of New York courts. While every true man objects to the taking of human life, yet every true American feel that there are times when the killing of a brute in human form subserves the best interests of the whole race. This appears to be one such instance. That any human being should be so low as Stanford White has been proven to have been is hard to believe, but for any refined (?), educated and intelligent man to have fallen so low is past our comprehension. The verdict of not guilty will meet the approbation of all lovers of honor, home and decency. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. * * * * * * * * * Religious Thought. Fear and Hope.—The fundamental, basic human emotions are the dominant feelings of fear and hope.—Bishop Nichols, Episcopalian, Los Angeles, Cal. Love.—If you have charity, love and benevolence toward your fellow man, you possess all that is essential to eternal life. Cardinal Gibbons, Roman Catholic, Baltimore, Maryland. Equality.—Give every man, says Judaism, white and colored, native and immigrant, Jew and non-Jew, a sacred guarded opportunity and encouragement to be true to himself and the dictates of his Maker. Americans dare not do less than this unless we belie the claims of our democracy, which means opportunity.—Rev. A. Lvons, Hebrew, Brooklyn, N. Y. A Spartan Mother.—My good mother was something of a Spartan, a very gentle Spartan, with her children, but it was wonderfully beautiful to see her in her old age spreading her wide, grand, motherly wings over the children of the new day. She could no more be hard on them, no matter what pranks they played, than your May sun can be hard on your May blossoms. Rev. Robert Collyer, Unitarian, New York City. Decision.—Decision of character is a prime element of success. It is essential in all departments of labor. An undecided man accomplishes nothing. This principle holds in the realm of spiritual truth. In whatever way spiritual truth has been communicated to man, God always reasons with him from principles which are universally recognized and applied in the natural world.—Rev. T. S. Sampson, Baptist, Philadelphia. Wealthy Men Not Idlers. I am not pleased with the implication that men of Wealth are idlers—that men destitute are the only workingmen. Men of large wealth are, as a rule, hard-working men. Cornelius Vanderbilt died at the early age of 53 from overwork. John Jacob Astor, with a fortune in the n neighborhood of $100,000,000 finds no time for idleness.—Rev. B. B. Tyler. Disciple, Denver, Colo. The Divine Life.—Life is the tragedy of the divine trying to accomplish itself by mortal means; the infinite seeking to express itself in finite nature and conditions. We cannot escape the conclusion that the divine will not always fail. Truth and right somehow in the end must prevail. The divine in our natures will not always be defeated. In this thought we get courage to struggle again.—Dr. Felix Adler, Hebrew, Washington, D. C. Error.—Everything human begins in a mistake. Error is the loamy soil out of which truth vegetates and blossoms. The history of philosophy, science and theology illustrates this principle with a distinct cogency that is unanswerable. So that we need not be too much afraid of being in error provided only we cling to our error with a tenacity that is not simply tenacious, but that is also honest and intelligent.— THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Rev. C. H. Parkhurst, Presbyterian, New York City. Cause and Result.—If we harmonize our lives here with the material things around us we shall endear these things to ourselves, but we will dwarf the spiritual things and lessen our capabilities of grasping them. We shall have only the ability to grasp the carnal things, but those things shall vanish away and we will have nothing. The life which gives itself only to pleasure and unholy ambition cannot expect to reap the fruits of righteousness and holiness in the world to come.—Rev. G. F. Miller, Episcopalian, Brooklyn, N. Y. Sorrow.—Let sorrow mellow you. A stubborn person, if approached wrongly, can be hard, cold and almost cruel, when if touched rightly he will surpass any one in tenderness. Charging God with unfair punishment may lead to similar hardening rebellion. If sorrow reminds of the reality of the future life and leads to things that prepare for it, we will be deepened, broadened, sweetened. For we will be full of service which alone can store treasure there. We will then recall our sorrow and offer heartfelt sympathy to others.—Rev. C. F. Reisner, Methodist, Denver, Colo. Revelation.—The Bible conceals and reveals, and the full volume of revelation is not yet exhausted, nor will it be to the end of time. On the outskirts of research will always be found a few bold spirits, gathering in new truths. Some will be suspicious of their findings, question their leadership and even call them "heretics." These dogged individuals in the rear guard who are not adequate in scholarship to comprehend the valuable service of the thinkers who are progressing, are casting obstructions in the way of progress and posing as defenders of the faith.—Rev. W. E. Huntington, Methodist, Boston, Mass. A dispatch from Pendleton, Oregon, states that for two weeks the Oregon Short Line has been bringing from 1,000 to 1, 500 homeseekers into Oregon and Washington every day. If the Northern Pacific and Great Northern have done as well, there were at least 50,000 strangers seeking homes in the two states during March. In October this rush will probably be duplicated. By a little judicious advertising an increased proportion of this can be directed this way. The completion of the railroad through the northern part of the county will facilitate their coming. -Okanogan Record. The insanity dodge that is rampant in America and is allowing men to be shot down like cattle is not taking root in England as is proved by the swift justice that was meted out to H. G. Raynor, who, on January 24th, killed Wm. Whiteley, a London philanthropist. Raynor claimed and proved that he was eccentric and subject to "fits of depression," but the judge ordered the jury to disregard the plea, and Raynor was convicted of murder and sentenced to be hanged. Some action must be taken in America if we would make life sacred in this country. Seattle and the state of Washington are sadly in need of some such example as was made of Raynor. 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. The morning reprint of the Evening Times of Seattle is on our table, and after the loud and long acclaims of that sheet, we expected a real newspaper. Maybe we expected too much, but the fact remains that it lacks several corn rows of being a Metropolitan morning newspaper.—Sumas News. The Sunnyside Sun refers to our modest, though none the less distinguished journalistic friend, Col. W. W. Robertson, as "Double you Double you" Robinson. No, that is neither right nor fair! The Democrat has frequently taken pains to explain that "W. W." stands for "William Wisdom."—Yakima Democrat. ADVICE to WOMEN. It is true that fate, or God, destines every one to cross life's ocean, but how one shall cross it, worthily or unworthily, successfully or unsuccessfully, happily or unhappily, is left very much to herself. The fact is that no one has a right to be resigned to any unfavorable thing or circumstance that she can, by forethought, by will, by endeavor and industry, change. So-called resignation is often an excuse for a flabby will or lazy habits of mind and body, or both. We shall have a most effective factor in remaking the world for good, for happiness, for wholeness, when everyone as soon as she is old enough to think seriously shall set her face and bend her efforts toward something that will not only give her a living but a life—strong-pulsed, stimulating, adequate life; when every woman purposes in her heart what she will be and do, and, in spite of all that others may say and urge, casts off every detaining cord and sets and keeps her course towards the chosen port where she shall successfully do cooking, or compass making, law work or literature, painting or photography, housework or horticulture—anything that she feels she can do well and will be happy and therefore strong and successful, in doing.—Lida A. Churchill in the Delineator for April. Wrong Dope! NEW YORK, April 11. The announcement that Thaw was acquitted, sent out by the different news agencies, was denied later in the day. It appears that the jury came out for instructions and the wrong signals were flashed. It is rumored late Thursday evening that the jury stands nine for conviction and three for acquittal. Humphrey vs. Condon for Congress [Name not visible] Congressman Will E. Humphrey PECULIAR and PERTINENT. Railway servants in England are supposed to receive $1,500,000 a year in tips. Cabbages in Cuba grow to such size that a single head often weighs 20 pounds. A Hindu catamaran can go to and from ships when ordinary craft can't be launched. One-seventh of Great Britain's total foreign commerce passes through the Suez canal. In 1840 Austrian noblemen could legally claim two days a week of unpaid labor from all their tenants, who were at that date practically serfs. Siberian butter goes to Hamburg, is repacked and sent to the far east as a German production. Russian sugar goes to Japan in an Austrian disguise, and Russian calico is sold there under a German wrapper. These are some of the reasons why the Russo-Japanese Commercial company has been formed in Russia. All butchers in Burmah are Indian born; no Burman will kill a cow or a bullock or sell meat. There is no law now against such practice, but no respectable native will kill for food, sport or revenge. Fowl and fish are, indeed, sacrificed for eating purposes, but everyone despises the fisherman; he is a sort of outcast; and the slaying of fowl is done reluctantly. A prophetess believed by the natives to be a spirit able to put on a mortal shape when necessary, has arisen in Swaiziland, Africa, and under her orders the people are getting rid of all white things in the country. White goats, white fowls, white vessels for domestic use—all are being disposed of. The natives believe that when everything else white has been disposed of the white men will disappear. A FEW CONUNDRUMS. What animals are like Cain?—Those that are branded. What is the oldest tree in America?— The elder tree. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ndon for Congress 5 State Senator R. W. Condon When are horses and diamonds alike?— When mounted. Why is an egg like a colt?—Neither is ready for use until broken. Why is a baker a very improvident person?—He is always selling what he kneads himself. What bird tells in its name the thing which if we had not we should die?—A swallow. Why is the Brooklyn bridge like a boy who is in dishonor at school?—Both are suspended. What is the difference between a watch maker and a jailer?—One sells watches and the other watches cells. Afro=Americanism. Colored schools will receive $42,500 of the thirty-two millions given by Rockefeller. Elmer Sheppard, colored, 17 years, weighing 640 pounds, heaviest man in the United States, died recently at Appleton, Wis.

In the meantime the Negro is "hiking" up the road of progress without even looking behind to see who is after him. Mrs. Martha A. Green has the honor of being Boston's oldest elementary school graduate. Mrs. Green was awarded a diploma at the age of 54, the oldest of the others in the class was 18 years. The young men in the shoe making department of Tuskegee Institute have a contract to make all the shoes worn by Mr. Andrew Canegie and have just finished and forwarded to him the second installment for this year. The alleged confession of D. C. Gray, a Negro, of Galveston, Texas, that he, with other Negro soldiers, shot up Brownsville, has been proven a fake. According to a statement sent by Lieut. Chamberlin to Gen. McCaskey, Gray has lived in Galveston for seven years and was never a soldier. James Parker, a Negro, who says he is the Parker who seized Czolgosz when the anarchist assassinated President McKinley at Buffalo, was arrested at Atlantic City, N. J., recently, demented. He wandered through the streets all day, standing on corners and telling his story. The doctors say he is hopelessly insane, and that he has but a short time to live. the Negroes of Boston are not idlers according to the latest census. In Greater Boston there is a Negro population of 23,000, made up of 11,800 women and 11,200 men. About 40 per cent of the Negro women are at work outside their homes, as compared with 24 per cent of white women. The census shows 76 per cent of the Negro males engaged in gainful occupations. The international committee of the Young Mens' Christian Association has selected Mr. W. A. Hunton as one of the five delegates to attend the seventh biennial conference of the World's Students' Christian Federation which meets at Tokio. This will be the first time that a Negro has been sent as a delegate to this conference. Mr. Hunton is senior secretary of the colored mens' department of the Y. M. C. A. Recently Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky was asked his opinion about the Brownsville shooting affair and the investigation that was being conducted by the senate. He replied: "My mind has been changed. After hearing the testimony of these men I am convinced that the man who was killed committed suicide; that the horse that was killed kicked itself to death, and that the policeman who lost his arm bit it off himself. I am beginning to doubt if there is such a place as Brownsville, and am absolutely certain that there never was a United States soldier there." The first Negro from the Ninth Con- gressional district to receive a Washington appointment has just been placed by Representative I. R. Sherwood, Democrat. He is Fred T. Fish, at present in the employ of George H. Ketcham. He was today notified of his appointment through General Sherwood's recommendation to the position of clerk in the Department of Commerce and Labor. The first year will be on probation; thereafter he will be under civil service regulations at a salary of $1,- 200 per year. A white woman who runs the Capitol restaurant at Washington, D. C., who refused to obey U. S. marshall's order not to draw the color line, ordered to leave April 1st: In defiance of United States Marshall Palmer's order that discrimination on account of color cease in the restaurant, the proprietor of that establishment refused to serve colored members of the bar in the room reserved for the profession. She was forthwith handed a notice to quit, to take effect April 1st. The gentlemen who were refused service and who are responsible for this wholesome enforcement of the law, are Attorneys E. M. Hewlett and L. G. Gregory, two of the cleanest and ablest members of the bar in the District of Columbia. Negro cavalrymen have been ordered to West Point for duty for the first time in the history of the United States military academy. Seventy-six of the Ninth cavalry have been assigned to this duty, and within a few days will take the place of the cavalrymen stationed at West Point. The sending of the colored troopers is an experiment on the part of the war department. The present detachment on duty at West Point has been dissatisfied with the extra duty devolved upon them in the care of the horses used by the military cadets. It is alleged that, while they were willing to look after their own individual mounts, they did not like the duty of caring for all the horses of the cadet battalion. —Chicago-Record-Herald.

The oratorical contest to be given at the Mt. Zion Baptist church on the 15th Inst, promises to be a most interesting affair. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Walkins, of Portland, are visiting in the city and are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. DeBow. Mrs. R. R. Brown is in the city, having returned from Portland Monday. She and her daughter Ruth will leave in a few days for Juneau, Alaska, which place they call home. Miss Lilly Taylor who has been visiting in the city this winter left today for Alaska to spend the summer. This will be Miss Taylor's ninth summer in the "Land of the Midnight Sun." The birthday party given by Mrs. Smith, in honor of her husband, Mr. Frank Smith's 31st birthday, was among the most enjoyable affairs given by our folk this season. The Afro-American hall was gaily decorated. The music furnished by Prof. Reed's orchestra was as usual, the very best; the refreshments were dainty and refreshing. Everything tended to make it pleasant for those who attended. There were 48 guests present, and every one left wishing Mr. Smith many returns of the day and only regretting that he does not have one every six months. Mr. Smith received many valuable presents as remembrances of those present. FORUM. The question box at the Sunday Forum is becoming a most interesting and instructive feature. Last Sunday's questions were answered by Mr. W. C. Peoples in a most thorough manner. Two of the questions, "Is the Negro Benefited by Attending Mixed Schools" and, "Is the Discrimination Against the Negro not Directly Attributable to his Discrimination Against Himself?" brought forth so much discussion that it was decided to continue them for further discussion next Sunday. Mrs. Boyer, of Everett, will read a paper on the latter question and both will be discussed by the house. It was also decided to form a bureau of information for our race, so that concerted effort can be made to secure work of all kinds for our people. Everybody is invited to come out and give an opinion on these two questions. THE LYRIC Starting with the usual Sunday matinee the bill will be changed to the Zinn version of "Fra Diavalo," up to date. It will mark the return of Miss Frances Grey to the cast. Miss Grey will play the title role, a part in which she has appeared many times. Many of the songs and business is new in the present version and should please the patrons of the Lyric better than the original version of this celebrated comic opera. The chorus will have many changes of costumes and the scenery and lightning effects will be new.

"A Stranger in Town" is one of the cleverest written fares of the year. Mr. Beamish is surrounded by a talented company, embracing a lot of pretty girls. The comedy is a breezy farce, filled with popular songs, airs and musical numbers, and is sure to make a hit with the clientele of the Seattle Theater. This is the company's first visit to the coast. The newspapers have spoken very highly of the play in other cities, and Seattleites will not be backward in ascertaining its worth and bestowing liberal patronage on the latest new offering in the musical comedy line.
