Sunday closing and jail reforms should stimulate the growth of healthy morals that is being planted in our city. If reports be true the unfortunate women confined in the county jail have always been the legitimate prey for those who watched over them in an official way. It strikes us that it would have been much cheaper for Miss Traynor to have paid her help and not only saved expenses, but likewise health and happiness. "Hell is paved with good intentions," reads the catch line of a real estate advertisement, and one might add, it is kept burning with real estate men, who sell town lots. "Thought I was married in Mexico," said Dr. Annie Russell and that too despite the fact that marrying is one of the most awakening things a human being ever experienced. Ballard has decided to become a part of Seattle and now the Ballard folk will not have to pay a nickel to the street car company to come to Seattle for they are in Seattle. Organized labor has been doing well entirely too long and it has become restless and is threatening to demoralize the industrial world by indulging in useless strikes. A day of prayer should be set apart by the Christian Endeavor when it meets here for the purpose of riding Seattle of some of its unholy prejudices and unlawful discriminations. There is no need of Miss Courtney, who shot her employer for refusing to pay her the salary that was due her, stating she is from Missouri, for her actions gave her dead away. A good deal has been said pro and con SEATTLLE, WASHINGTON APRIL 19, 1907 about the unwritten law here of late and if the state could only get as much said about the written law then perhaps the laws would be enforced. The Thaws had better not forget the old adage that it is a bad plan to swap horses in the middle of the stream. Delmas has made a pretty good fight for you, my boy, and you had better let well enough alone. Help is sadly needed in the Northwest both in the homes and on the farms. Why not ask Senator Piles to have the United States senate pass a bill permitting a couple of million Chinamen coming into this country. You know the senator has but to command the senate and the work will be done. Club women's husbands may dearly love them and their children simply devoted to them, but it is not because their wives and their mothers are at home looking after their needs, but for some other attraction, for an example, their leadership ability in their clubs. The work of attaining a universal peace by hanging all editors of yellow journals, as suggested by W. T. Stead, the eminent English editor, should be started in our city. That would at least go a long way toward the peace of this community. There are a whole lot of Negroes even in Seattle that would feel themselves awfully humiliated if they were forced to associate with George E. Morris, superior court judge though he be. It is very hard on some folk to get elected to an office and thereby be assured of three squares a day. The evening Swillbarrel has added Sheriff Smith to its list of prominent men of the community to villify and is working it overtime just now. The Swillbarrel must think the sheriff is not digging up to its mercenary owner as much filthy lucre as he could do, hence its damnable attacks. A mob of white men down in Louisiana did not mob its Negro victim for the reason a counter mob composed of black men, who lay in ambush suspecting just such a coupe, fell to and mobbed the mob. Such actions may neither be legal nor humane, but they will go a long ways toward curbing the mob spirit. Lynch the lynchers was once advocated as a remedy to stop lynching and it was not a bad idea. With Senator Condon working in harmony with Senator Piles and working to defeat Senator Ankeny it looks as if he proposes to UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. play the Dr. Jeykel and Mr. Hyde to the limit, but he is not going to do it, the evening Swillbarrel to the contrary notwithstanding. Condon is going to lambast the life out of Ankeny and if Piles gets in the way he will get a similar dose. Where will it end? Following the example set by President Roosevelt in the Brownville affair, Maj. Keene, the American advisor of the Board of Health of Havana, Cuba, has discharged a squad of men who disinfected a house because a pair of sleeve buttons were reported lost and no one would admit of taking them. Why not discharge all government employes at Chicago for not producing the one who misplaced the $173,000 there? J. H. Snow, state highway commissioner of Washington, estimates that it will cost the state $1,000,000 to construct the state wagon roads already projected. The necessity for state instead of county action arises very largely from the existence of the forest reserves and Indian reservations.—Orator-Outburst. Uncle John Standard Oil may have had easy sledding in the past, but he is up against the real thing just now. The courts will force him to pay fines for rebating amounting to $30,000,000 and following close onto this comes the report that the county assessor in Lake County, Indiana, has discovered some $37,000,000 worth of property in that county that the sly old dog has successfully hidden away from the assessors and instead of paying $30,000 worth of taxes per year he should have been paying over $300,000 per year. Did God ever create a more corrupt piece of humanity? A union printer asked this question the other day of a butcher, "Is Frye-Bruhn Co. unfair?" He was answered thus: "No, Frye-Bruhn has not been declared unfair. Your only guide is the union shop card. I know of no butcher shop in Seattle owned or controlled by the Frye-Bruhn Co. that can show that card. Tell your wife to buy no meat in any market in the city of Seattle that does not display the union shop card. That will prove conclusively that while the Frye-Bruhn Co. has not officially been declared unfair, every shop that handles the Frye-Bruhn goods should be shunned by union people."—Steel, in Union Record. Such talk is so un-American that it should be a violation of the law to publish it. Because some business concern does not subscribe to the beliefs of some labor trust is no excuse for such business concern to be held up to public ridicule by incindiary publications. Grant that the company does not recognize the authority of organized labor, is that any reason for the concern to be proscribed as a dangerous place to do business --- Religious Thought. Christianity does not consist in psalm sing- ing or prayer saying or even in church going; it is a life to be lived. He who would do what Christ would have him do for his neigh- bor in his conversion will work along his own individual lines, doing his neighbor all the good he can.—Revy. J. A. Jaynes, Disciple, Pittsburg, Pa. SPIRITUAL COWARDS. One of the misfortunes of the church is that it is afflicted with a host of spiritual cowards whose timidity is deservedly con- demned; they are in the gospel ship and their ery for help is one of distrust rather than of faith. They lack the childlike con- fidence which believes always with unwan- ing faith—Rey. George Adams, Methodist, Brooklyn, N. Y. THE SCHOOLS. The man who attacks the public schools attacks fundamental American institutions. He virtually attacks the great body of his fellow-citizens—Rey. R. S. McArthur, Bap- tist, New York City. WINE, WOMEN AND WEALTH. The greatest temptations of men to put them rhythmically, are wine, women and wealth.—Rev. C. L. Laws, Congregationalist, Baltimore, Md. A FEW PRINCIFLES. Despite all one sees and hears, despite all that dazzles and confuses, the impregnable fact is that life is based on a few funda- mental and unchangeable principles.—Rev. J. B. Clark, Presbyterian, Detroit, Mich. UNBELIEF. There is but one thing that can keep us out of the peace with God, and that is un- belief. If we only lived up to privileges of our belief, we would be more at peace in this world—Rey. C. E. Snow, Baptist, Brooklyn, N. Y. PATIENCE. Religion means a striving for the better- ment of the world and mankind, and de- mands of its followers gentle patience with their fellows and a happy contentment with the will of God.—Rev. C. O. Bosserman, Lutheran, Harrisburg, Pa. THE SOURCE OF GOOD. God is the source of all good to men, whether received through the ordinary dis- pensations of His providence, or whether in the gifts of spiritual blessings to His people; tionalist, Brooklyn, N. Y. CONTENT. Contentment is a nestegg virtue. It at- tracts other virtues, and they come and take up their abode with it. Discontent begets trouble, takes away peace and brings sorrow, poverty and indolence.—Rey, L. L. Overman, Presbyterian, Philadelphia, Pa. in each instance He is alike declared to be our Father.—Rev. A. J. Henry, Congrega- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE HUMAN TONGUE. Your tongue, by its speech, notes your ex- act moral and spiritual condition. Frivolous, giddy, tart, bitter, sweet, or gold—that tongue of yours marks your condition. The tongue is a moral barometer. In praise to God we reach its highest glory and honor.— Rey. D. R. Babbitt, Baptist, Brooklyn, N. Y. SELFISH DESIRE. Greed of gold, insatiable desire for riches, an over-powering spirit of mammonism, causes more sorrow, suffering and discontent than all the combined evils to which human- ity is subjected. The demon selfishness is responsible for the sweat-shop and all its at- tendant suffering; for the saloon, that deadly octopus that is strangling the very life of our young manhood; for the gambling mania, which, like a fever, is raging in our nation’s blood. Something for nothing, or as near nothing as possible, that is the animating purpose of selfish desire.—Rey. T. R. Starr, Baptist, New York City. PASTOR AND PEOPLE. There are two things which belong to the church as sovereign principles. First, a true gospel pastor who teaches the Word in truth and purity and administers the holy sacra- ments according to divine institutions; sec- ond, a faithful congregation who will receive the Word as the Word of God.—Rey. C. F. Bergner, Lutheran, Washington, D. C. LOSING INTEREST. “Your father is in politics, isn’t he, my boy?’’ asked the stranger. “‘Yeh,’’ replied little Tommy Tipples, ‘‘but mom thinks he’s gittin’ cured of it.’’ “*You don’t say?’’ : “Yeh; his stummick’s gone back on him an’ he can’t drink like he useter.’’—Philadel phia Press. WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES. First Magnate—‘‘This problem of taking care of the poor is a hard one.’’ Second Magnate—‘‘Most difficult. It’s easy enough to get-money from them, but it ruins them to give it back.’’—Life. FATHER’S LITTLE SCHEME. ““My boy, I like you and I want you to marry my daughter. But, have you spoken to her mother about it?’’ SNOW gins “Then, to cinch it for you, I’ll cppose the match.’’—Denver Post. SKIDOO. The Literary Digest, in answer to an in- quiry, gives the following explanation of the origin of the word skidoo: The word is said to be an off-shoot of skedaddle, a word which came into use in the United States during the Civil War. It was used in both the north and south to mean, ‘‘hasty flight.’’ The origin of this term has been traced to Seotland, where the milkmaids used it as a synonym for ‘‘spilling.’’ A writ- er in The Sun (New York), March 17, 1907, claims that it ‘‘was bequeathed to the Am- erican vocabulary by a war correspondent from the London Times.’’ ONE OF DR. KELLY’S STORIES. An Irishman and his wife were seated at the fireside, the wife reading the paper. ‘‘Patrick,’’ she said, ‘‘what is this I see in the papers about the law of compensation ?’’ “T don’t know,’’ said Patrick, ‘‘I never heard of it.’’ ‘‘Well,’’ said his wife, ‘‘the paper says that if a man loses the sight of one eye the sight of the other immediately becomes stronger, and if he loses the hear- ing in one ear, the hearing in the other be- comes more acute.’’ ‘‘Come to think of it,” said Pat, ‘‘I have aiways noticed that when a man has one short leg the other is always longer.’’—Exchange. False teeth of ivory on plates of the same material and held in place by gold wires were in use in the year 1000 B, C. In Greece, after a prisoner has been sen- tenced to death, he has to wait two years before the execution can take place. With Russian caviare concealed in the hollow rims of the wheels of his motor ear, a smuggler has been detected crossing the Russo-Austrian frontier near Cracow. Jackson County, Ky., is famed for family feuds, but it has other claims for mention. It has a population of 10,000, yet there is not a single Negro voter, nor a citizen of foreign birth. It has no ex-Confederates within its borders, no saloons, no registered listilleries and no workhouses. Further than this, no citizen within its domains ever locks his house. She POST INTELLIGENCER.

A Negro company has bought a large plat of ground near Vicksburg and is making a park and pleasure resort. It will be named Dunbar Park. * * * The exhibit of the Colored Deaf, Dumb and Blind Institute of North Carolina will have one of the best and most elaborate that will go from that state to the Jamestown Exposition. *** Mrs. M. A. Lane died March 29 at her home, in Richmond, Va. Mrs. Lane was grand lecturer of the Rosebud Nursery department of the Grand Fountain of True Reformers. *** Earnest Walker of St. Louis is the first Negro to be appointed as meat inspector for the Pittsburg district by the U. S. Government under its meat inspection law. The salary is $1000 a year. *** Mr. Robert C. Ogden, who has for years taken so much interest in education in the South among all races and who has been president of the board of trustees of both Hampton Institute and Tuskegee Institute, has been compelled by ill health to resign both positions. Mr. Ogden is seventy-one years old and is a member of the firm of Wanamaker & Co. * * * The United Order of True Reformers, of which Rev. W. T. Taylor of Richmond is president, is to illustrate in a practical way the development of the Negro as a banker. They will erect a substantial building, and throughout the life of the exposition, will have in full operation a model bank, with safe deposit attachment, staff of cashier and tellers, and will handle the money of concessionaries, receive deposits from visitors and employes, and transact a regular banking business for all who may require such service. * * * To protect the morals of the soldiers the Illinois legislature has passed a law prohibiting the sale of liquor within a mile and an eighth of a military post or naval station. It is intended to stop the drunkenness at Fort Sheridan. *** In a recent address Dr. Booker T. Washington made these statements: Therefore, he declared, every Negro who desires to see the race problem solved along practical and permanent lines should look forward, not backward, should notice the bright side of the picture, be cheerful, have race pride, and be sure to get on the front seat of the constructive band-wagon. We live in the best age since the world began. We have more, know more and can do more than at any time since emancipation. We must not become discouraged or embittered, study the ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN object lessons furnished by our creators of opportunities—urge that their trive increase and follow in their footsteps to the heights. * * * The Negro business league of New York City are making strenuous efforts to solidify the business interests of our race in that city. Among other statements the league makes the following statement: We spend in New York City each year $330,000 in shoes, $350,000 in hats, $100,000 in underwear, $500,000 in top clothing, $300,000 in food, $500,000 in rents. Of course this is approximated, but it will give an idea of the vast sums spent, and not 15 per cent, goes to our credit. "In all of the cities of the north this same condition obtains, and in the south it used also to be the rule, but conditions there are gradually cementing the people together. "The National Negro Business league is working earnestly to change this condition by creating a sentiment favorable to Negro support, persuading Negroes that it is their bounden duty to begin to build up their own race, to develop business opportunities and to give them support. The Anglo-Saxons are preaching the same doctrine. They recognize that a dependent race is a burden, and that a productive race is a mighty help. No enmity is made by building your race up, or making possible the enjoyment of those who are each year coming out of the schools and colleges. More confidence in each other is what is needed; more hustlers, few revolvers; a more practical religion, recognizing that charity begins at home, that self-preservation is the first law of nature, that bank accounts, banks, property holdings, business enterprises of all kinds, beginning small, made strong through unremitting support, are the essentials in making a people strong and respected." THE SUNDAY FORUM. The bright weather brought out a larger crowd to the Forum than attended the two previous Sundays, but even then the crowd was far too small considering the importance of the subjects discussed. Many important and instructive points were brought out in the discussion concerning the benefits of mixed schools. The paper read by Mrs. Boyer of Everett was most interesting and instructive. The subject of race discrimination was under discussion and her paper was on that subject. Among many other things she said: "The great wave of discrimination, gigantic in body meets the Negro at the several points of the compass, in this great American Republic. We are told that the question of master and slave is largely the cause of discrimination, in the South. However that may be, there remains three points of the compass unaccounted for. Then, may I ask why this discrimination in the North, in the East and in the West? The master and slave question cannot readily be applied to those sections. We are forced to seek other causes for this spirit of discrimination. The East, North and West population is composed of a vast minority of ex-slave owners, therefore the same question of master and slave does not apply to all sections, and yet the same ghost of discrimination haunts them. "Look at the larger cities of this section, if you please, and tell me what we have done to demand recognition? What have we done to prevent discrimination? Have we not done more to foster and keep alive the spirit of discrimination than otherwise? The dives and dens and low places conducted and visited by our own people in the cities are monuments of discredit and stepping stones to discrimination. Therefore we make the way possible for the thing that we profess so much to fear, you need not go out of your immediate city to find the circumstances leading to this conclusion. Note the divisions, disloyalty, prejudice and discrimination among us in this city alone, and tell me is it not sufficient foundation on which to base our conclusions? Instead of union and concerted action to bring about a resistless force to meet the question of the hour, we stand apart from each other as so many separate individuals, thinking ourselves able to bring about the thing we wish, each to himself. Therefore the greatest enemies, the greatest drawbacks to ourselves and the greatest discrimination to ourselves, is ourselves. The greatest force that can be brought to bear upon the present condition lies chiefly with ourselves. That force can be summed up in the following: Moral development, unity of action, undaunted courage and an indomitable will to do the right." In conclusion she said: "Let us cease to look to outside forces to help us get rid of our great ghost of discrimination, let us begin at its source, let us examine ourselves, let us remove the shadows that conceals the true facts, let us adopt measures that will best promote the interests of our people. Stop discrimination against each other first, and form one solid phalanx against discrimination from outside sources. Victory shall be ours if we adhere to the principals of unity, peace and harmony." A committee headed by Mr. G. W. Thompson was appointed to formulate a plan whereby a business may be started for our race. There is an exceptionally important list of questions in for next Sunday to be answered by Mrs. A. E. Grose, that, with music and the report of the committee will make a most interesting program. Lake Morat, in Switzerland, has the curious property, every tenth year, of turning red, owing to the presence of certain water plants, which are not found in any other lake in the world. President Roosevelt yesterday dedicated a monument at the national cemetery at Arlington in memory of the Rough Riders who fell in the late war. Gov. Campbell of Texas called a special session of his legislature in ten minutes after it adjourned because they did not pass laws that he recommended. POLITICAL THE NEGRO A BIG FACTOR It appears likely that the Negro vote of Ohio, which, by the way, is a very considerable factor in the republican strength of that state, will be cast almost solidly for Foraker as against Taft. The colored people all over the country are naturally sore over what they term the gross injustice done the Negro soldiers by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft. This relates to the Brownville affair, followed by the deportation of all the negro regiments to the Philippines. Thus, from the Negro standpoint, not only has justice been outraged but their race has been grossly insulted by an administration that the Negroes themselves aided materially to place in power. It may seem surprising to many, but it is none the less a fact that under normal political conditions in this country the Negro voters are able to wield the balance of power in nine or ten northern states, the states referred to being New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois Missouri and Kansas. It will thus be seen that if the Negro vote, south as well as north, is lined up solidly against the political ambitions of Secretary Taft, or any other candidate favored by President Roosevelt, the chance of success for such a candidate at the polls will not be very good.—Yakima Democrat. J. B. L. H. GRAY. The King County Republican Club, which recently underwent a complete renovation as well as reorganization, is now a political power in the county and may become the same in state politics. At a recent meeting of the club President L. H. Gray was given absolute control of the destinies of the club by being empowered to remove from office any refractory official or drop from the roll any member that is inclined to be unruly. Already he has put the club on easy financial basis and everything is working well. President Gray handed the organization over to Senator S. H. Piles to serve him in any way he saw fit, politically speaking. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Aain't it the Trust? There must be some secret alluement in holding office. It is generally supposed, however, that the desire is to climb up the political ladder, not come down hand over hand. It seems that another justice of the peace is to be appointed for the city of Spokane. The last legislature provided a fourth superior judge, but the wickedness of the city is so great or the desire for office is so intense in that burg, or both, that the county commissioners are called upon to supply another court of petty jurisdiction, and a justice of the peace is to be appointed. And on the heels of this announcement comes the statement that ex-Congressman Samuel C. Hyde is a candidate for the position and expects to get the place. There is nothing against his appointment, being mature in years and ripe in experience, but Mr. Hyde would add more dignity to the superior bench.—Colfax Gazette. * * * The Sunnyside Sun dropped a hint last week that Lee A. Johnson may develop into a candidate for the governorship. We feared that such a thing might happen. However, if the Sunnyside statesman's candidacy develops seriously that gentleman would do well to make peace with Col. William Wisdom Robertson.—Yakima Democrat. And an ideal governor he would make. The Republican party might go a long ways in search of gubernatorial timber and yet not find any one half so good as the Hon. Lee A. Johnson. WHO WILL BE SENATOR? There promises to be a merry conflict in this state over the United States senatorship next year. In fact, several of the candidates are skirmishing already. Senator Ankeny's term of office expires on the 4th day of March, 1909, and, naturally, he is anxious to be reelected. Congressman Jones is also anxious to wear the senatorial toga. Of course, there are others, but these two occupy the center of the stage at present. Jones is better qualified for the position, yet either one will make an ideal senator—for the "vested interests" of the state and nation. It is a far cry to the time when this matter may be decided, and, in that length of time, the people may come to the conclusion that they need a man in the senate who will look after their interests. To accomplish this end, they will have to elect the right men to the legislature. The new primary law is purposely very weak in this respect, and the people are still at the mercy of the man with the bigges tbarrel in this important matter. —Colton News-Letter. *** When Governor Mead visited Colfax just after his election he was surrounded by representatives of both factions of the Republican party who vied with each other in doing him honor. Last Sunday he again visited this city and spent the entire evening in the office of the Hotel Colfax, but no Republicans showed up to do him reverence. The governor made the mistake of trying to please both factions and as a result pleased neither.—Colfax Democrat. News of the Week.

BE. of W. at their hall on Madison street last Thursday was a most enjoyable affair. While the attendance was not so large as the previous smoker, those present en- joyed immensely the excellent music, the good comedy work and interesting and instructive toasts. + oe The third quarterly meeting of the A. M. E. Church will be held at 14th street church on Sunday and Mon- day. Rev, S. J. Collins, the presid- ing elder, will preach Sunday morn- ing and administer the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper in the evening. The quarterly conference will be held Mon- day evening. The choir will render special music. The Pioneer Social Club held a well altended social meeting on Wednes- day evening at the residence of Mrs. A. E. Grose. The entertainment was diversified, consisting of music, songs, funny stories, dancing and cards. The refreshments were very dainty, being whipped imagination, baked wind, served with candy and lemonade ac- companiment. The decorations were the club colors in flowers. A most enjoyable evening was spent. + 0s Mr, J. T. Gayton was all smiles Wednesday morning when he yelled at our office boy from across the street: “Tell ’em it’s a girl,” and throwing the boy a cigar he rushed on down street. Mother and daugh- ter are doing well. Henry Coleman was buried on Mon- day from the undertaker’s parlors. Coleman becoming mentally derang- ed, committed suicide by taking laud- num. It is reported a woman was the cause of his trouble. eee Mr. Andrew R. Black, one of Seat- tle’s rising attorneys, made a great “sneak” from this city on Saturday to attend to legal business east of the mountains. His friend, Mr. J. F. Cragwell, left Tuesday morning, giv- ing the same excuse. It has since jeaked out that Mr. Black was married in Spokane on Wednesday evening to Miss Parker of that city. Mr. Cragwell was best man. A fuller report will be given next week. 5h Mr. James Green, well known here for a number of years, died at the hospital last Friday night. Mr, Green was injured while in the gold fields of the Yukon. Since that time he was subject to fits. In one of these fits on March 25. he was severely burned, from which injury he died.

When this big team of Irish come- dians, or Hybernium imperconaters, first struck the trail for the West in the show business, they were laugh- ed at. That’s over ten years ago, and the people still continue to laugh at them, and will as long as they are together and dish up such excellent laugh-creators as “Around the Town.” Murray and Mack always have a big show, in fact it is too big really to be presented at a popular priced thea- tre. Of late years it has been mostly seen in the K. & E. play houses, but Manager sRussell & Drew have the faculty of getting a big one once in a while that more than makes up for the occasional mediochre attractions that appear at their popular theatre. If there is a dollar show on the road —and there must be many, for some of them get two dollars or more— Murray and Mack are easily the best musical comedy show that we get from year to year, because it is al- ways kept up to the standard and is always enjoyable. There will be no seats ‘obtainable at either of the per- formances at the Seattle Theatre next Sunday unless they are securd in ad- vance, and the crowd all week will be in proportion. That the company is able to swing from musical comedy to comic opera requiring an entirely different kind of ability, is a new proof of the excel- lence of the Zinn Company, Starting with a matinee on Sunday, April 21st, the company Iwill enter on their ninth and last week. Lecocqa comic opera, “Girofle-Girofla” has been selected to close a highly successfu engagement. The story centers around the ad- ventures of twin sisters, “Girofle and Girofla,” who are about to be mar- ried and on the éve of the marriage, Girofla is kidnapped by pirates and held for ransom and before she is re- stored to her intended husband her sister Girofle is persuaded to take her place at the altar and many laughable situations result before the kidnapped bride is rescued and the tangle straightened out. The management promises a fine production. ; IN_ THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington for the County of King. In Probate. In the Matter of the Estate of Henry Schutte, Deceased. No. 6560.
