One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .60 Entered at the Postoffice at Sea .e, as Second Class Mail Mattes, POLITICAL "Now that the money bags have been eliminated from the senatorial campaigns of this state, it is about time for the people to get in and send Jones and Cushman to the senate," laconically came from a well known politician one day this week, who, in the past, has been an Ankeny devotee. Such political expressions are frequently heard these days, and so much so that the idea is fast fixing itself in the minds of the voters, and unless it is headed off in the very near future no power will be able to stem it. If Jones and Cushman decide to form a combination for mutual political protection, both defensive and offensive, Jones taking the plum next year and Cushman four years later, death only on the part of the two men can prevent it. "Of course, that means the defeat of King county's candidate for the senate, but it is only the fortunes of war, and then, again, King county does not seem inclined to take any steps to prevent such a catastrophe, and it is up to her." * * * "There is one way to my mind by which King county may save herself from defeat, and that is by doing politics with Pierce county, and instead of supporting Jones next year, support Frank Cushman, with the firm and abiding understanding that, Pierce county return the compliment two years later when Senator Piles is up for re-election," came from a Tacoma man one day this week. "For once," he continued, "Pierce county will be complete mistress of the situation. She can help Jones next year, and with Cushman as her candidate two years later, with Jones helping her, he (Cushman) would be able to defeat any man King county might put forward. As yet Pierce has made no combination on the senatorial situation, and King county would do well to have a talk with Pierce before the campaign really opens. There is hardly any doubt but that Jones will be a candidate for the senate next year. He has not exactly announced his candidacy, but he will do so before he returns to Washington next fall, unless Cushman in the meantime announces his intention of himself being a candidate to succeed. Ankeny. The two senators of the state should naturally come from King and Pierce counties, and if they will but take advantage of their opportunities they will come from the two counties, Cushman from Pierce next year and Piles from King two years later." ```markdown ``` SEATTLE.WASHINGTON MAY 10,1907 The lineup and the would-be lineup between King and Pierce counties to the detriment of Ankeny sounds good, but the politicians of both of the aforesaid counties are reckoning without their host if they count on Ankeny not being a candidate to succeed himself. Should he withdraw from the political arena, it would mean the complete overthrow of the politicians and bosses who were instrumental in electing him to the senate, which selfsame coterie of politicians at present control the federal patronage of the state. However anxious Senator Ankeny may or might be to withdraw from the contest, his lieutenants will resist to the bitter end any move made in that direction, because they realize it means their political extinction, and they are not quite ready for that as yet, and will never stand for it so long as Levi Ankeny has the "dough" to make a fight on, and the direct primaries will give them little or no concern as to the liberal use of the money for senatorial election purposes. *** Speaking about the re-election of Senator Ankeny reminds the Pie-maker that a regular state campaign is rapidly coming on, and the senator will have to line up with some candidate for governor before very much longer in order to have a political nueclus around which he can rally his men. There are already a number of candidates for governor, as well as a number of dark horse candidates who have their lightning rods up, hoping that the direct primary may hit them before the next state campaign is closed, and, as already said, Senator Ankeny is compelled to line up with one or the other of these candidates in order that his senatorial interest may be looked after in the naming of the various Republican state candidates for office. * * * The already announced candidates for the gubernatorial nomination are Governor Albert E. Mead, Hon. Samuel Cosgrove, former Governor Henry McBride, State Senator Alex. Polson and Representative Lee A. Johnson. Who of these candidates Senator Ankeny will back is the all-absorbing question in the political circles of this state at present. Presumably it will be Mr. Cosgrove, owing to the fact that the latter is from his section of the state, and unless Senator Ankeny has a strong following in Eastern Washington he will not have the first show of re-election. The senator might select Lee Johnson as his gubernatorial candidate and with him make as good showing as with Cosgrove. Both of those gubernatorial aspirants are more or less popular in Eastern Washington and would add much to the senator's rather dilapidated political props. It might be wise for the senator to come west of the mountains to get a gubernatorial timber for his campaign purposes, and if he PRICE TEN CENTS. should do so it is more than likely that he would select Governor Albert Mead, for the reason that he (Ankeny) has no more use for McBride than has the devil for holy water. Governor Mead at present is said to be lined up with former Senator John L. Wilson, and if Ankeny would select Mead as his man he would be more than likely to clash with Wilson, and the devil, politically speaking, would be to pay. That the owner of the P.-I. at this time looks favorably on the candidacy of Mead is almost certain, though the senator will not let it touch him. When questioned about the matter one day this week he laconically replied, "It's too early to talk politics yet. I have not given the matter the first thought. In fact, I am not interested in the gubernatorial fight. I am for anyone the Republicans nominate." *** Despite the prediction, as well as allegations, that the direct primary law in this state was instrumental in nominating a man for mayor on the Republican ticket in Spokane who was personally objectionable to the rank and file of the Republicans of that city, his nomination being due to Democratic interference, C. Herbert Moore, the Republican candidate for mayor, beat his Democratic opponent, Floyd Daggett, by an overwhelming majority last Tuesday. Mayor Daggett had for the past two years given Spokane a wide open town and the citizens tired of such lawlessness and voted for a man that promised to give the city at least a decent administration, if not a Sunday school one. And thus passes the ambitions of Floyd Daggett to be governor of the state of Washington under the direct primary law. * * * Abe Lincoln Walters has lost out, just as was predicted by the Pie-maker some weeks ago. The Pie-maker did not predict that Walters would lose out because he was opposed to him, but because he (Walters) was being backed by the Evening Swillbarrel. Whoever and whatever the Swillbarrel backs or espouses they or that is sure to fail. Of course, there are some who will read this allegation that will say it is made for personal reasons, which is not correct, and the past will bear out the assertion. Let your mind run back over the past since the Blethens have had charge of the Times and see if it has not lost every fight it has made, except the blackmailing one it has made to bring money to its directors and owners, and that is no credit to any paper, as any blackmailing sheet can extort money from such persons as are afraid of public exposure. Mayor Moore, after many weark weeks trying to get rid of the superintendent of streets, A. L. Walters, finally took the bull by the horns and removed him from office, and Walters, having tired of the struggle, retired without taking the matter into court, because he realized he was being backed by the Times, and that was like unto being cast in the ocean with a millstone around his neck—a dead Jonah.

John Malloy an 11-year old boy who was held in the Spokane jail for horse stealing, forgery and wheel stealing, made a successful dash for liberty and is now being hunted for by a posse. Former State Senator Frank P. Mays and W. N. Jones were sentenced at THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Portland, Oregon, for land frauds.

Loeb, Jr., secretary to President Roosevelt, will be president of the principal street railway of Washington, D. C. The attorney general of Pennsylvania has decided to immediately prosecute those responsible for the capitol graft. Ex-Gov. Pennypacker, chairman of board, will be involved. Poor San Francisco must die today; all the street cars are tied up; all the telephones are silent; eight-thousand ironworkers are idle-all this is caused by unions on strike. The body of Nichols Mears, the timber cruiser who has been missing two months, was found floating in Wishkah river, near Aberdeen. A wound on the back of the head points to foul play. The Campbell-Baunerman Cabinet is about to divide over the Irish Home bill now before parliament. Mr. Asquith is fighting the bill from every point and says the bill shall have no resemblance to home rule. Col. F. R. French, of the inspector general's department, has discovered that fifteen army rifles and ammunition, are in the hands of citizens of Brownsville, Tex.

Henderson, of the University of Chicago, is endeavoring to have the state of Illinois pass a law creating a colony for drunkards—a place where the state could send drunkards and keep them two years to reform them, and at the same time make them self-supporting. TUESDAY. Part of the wall of the Vatican garden has fallen and more is about to fall. Thousands of people turned out and tried to clean up the streets of Chicago.

Gus Thompson was found guilty of burglary at Chehalis for the robbery of a jewelry store some months ago.

They camped at an altitude of 28,300, which is higher than any other human being has slept. Rioting began at once when the street railway company attempted to operate its cars in San Francisco with strike breakers. Bricks, stones and clubs were used by the strikers and their symyathizers. The op- erators used pistols. Sixteen persons were _ shot; two are dead and three others will die. Thirteen strike breakers were arrest- ed. JAMESTOWN EXHIBITION. That ever present monster, ‘‘race prej- udice,’’ has prevented the Negroes of the United States from exhibiting at the Jamestown Exposition. The facts con- cerning the discrimination and insults have jnst come to light. The management has kept the location and character of adjacent departments a secret up toa few days ago and when they were made known every one was disgusted and chagrined. All the leading Negroes have declined to have anything to do with the exposition and as far as the Negro Department is concerned the exposition will be a com- plete failure. The following clipping from the Bee will give a better idea of the situation: “Inclosed I send you an official plat of the grounds with the names and location of each building. You will notice on the plat that the Negro building is at least three-quarters of a mile from the main pier THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and other buildings. It is located in a far off corner near the camping and drill grounds, where the Southern soldiers will come, the nearest building being the ‘‘War Path,’’ which was shown at the Chicago World’s Fair as the ‘‘Midway’’ and at the St. Louis exposition as the ‘‘Pike.’”’ All who know anything of exhibitions fully understand that these are the places where the rough elements from all over the world will attend, and, between the Southern soldiers and the crowds that will attend the ‘‘War Path’’ will keep our ladies in constant contact with these rough elements and especially to their many insults. The military encampment is not more than forty feet from the ground set aside for the Ne- gro; the athletic grounds and main State buildings and Commercial Pier are at least one mile from the Negro building. The building will probably be finished from eight to ten weeks after the exhibition opens, and we have great sympathy for Dr. Booker T. Washington and the leading Negroes of the country, who decline to make an exhibit under these circumstances and we hope that the leading Negro news- papers of the country will let our people throughout the States know the exact con- ditions. Colored Man Said to Have Been 150 Years of Age. Antonio Infante, a Negro, died April 23d, at Santiago, Cuba, who is said to have been 150 years old. , Despite his great age, the greatest rec- ord in modern times, he retained all his faculties unimpaired to the end. He was born in 1757, nineteen years before the beginning of the American revolution. , Bishop Grant, of the A. M. E. church, denies that in his talk to the president last week he mentioned politics. He went in the interests of Chaplain Scott. Sam Langford, the colored boxer of Bos- ton, won the middle weight championship of England in a 20 round go with ‘‘Tiger’’ Smith the Welsh fighter and English champion. The fight was on April 22d and Langford won in four rounds. _ Dr. A. M. Curtis, of Washington, D. C., attended the Alabama State Medical Asso- ciation and talked and demonstrated his surgical ability. The operations he suc- cessfully performed were a surprise to both white and colored doctors. There is no doubt but that Dr. Curtis is one of the leading surgeons of America. Captain Charles Young, Ninth cavalry, one of the few Negro commissioned officers of the army, will be recalled from duty as military attache at the American Legation at Port au Prince, Hayti. That officer will rejoin his regiment, which is destined to go to the Philippines this year. Captain Young is a graduate of the Military Acad- emy, and since his commission in 1899 has most of the time served with Negro regi- ments. During the war with Spain he was major of the Ninth Ohio Infantry (Negro). His term of detached service had expired, and it was considered that inasmuch as his regiment was going to the Philippines he should go on a tour of duty with his com- mand, especially as he stands 75 on the list of captains, and it is necessary that he should have some service with his troops in his present grade. Captain Young is a good officer and has proved of value in the duty of military attache. At the same time, there is no escaping the fact that with his increasing rank he will become more and more of a ‘‘problem’”’ in the mili- tary service. He will not be succeeded at Port au Prince by another army officer. J ee " Poh 8. GRAHAM | Pees Dee /~ IMPORTER | !

FIR And Fur Garments y JOHN RIPLINGER Former City Comptroller, Charged with Embezzlement. And now Honest John Riplinger is charged with embezzlement and a warrant has been issued for his apprehension and arrest. Comptroller Carroll says he has already discovered a shortage of $9,850, and he believes the amount will even exceed that sum. Riplinger was comptroller at the time the alleged embezzlement transpired. When he was candidate for mayor on the Republican ticket, at one fell swoop he is charged with abstracting from the city funds the sum of $4,500, which was evidently done to bolster up his campaign funds, which was being badly drained by the gang. At present John Riplinger is sojourning in Honduras, a South American republic, and with which the United States has no treaty as to the extraditing of criminals. Riplinger is in the banana cultivation business, and also runs a fleet of small vessels along the coast and to the islands for trading purposes, and is credited with being in splendid financial fix. If the charges against him are true, it is barely possible that he will remain in that country for an indefinite period, as he writes to a friend that he likes it and thinks it is the coming country. When men of Riplinger's supposed personal integrity become common thieves it would seem that the men who are directing the hands of destiny in the United States are rapidly drifting it into a camp, the name of which should be Robbers' Roost. From every city, town and hamlet and from every state and county government all over the United States there comes a cry that the men elected to high office are robbing the public crib, and doing so almost with impunity. That the citizens of the United States have reached the topmost round of civilization seems unquestioned, but that high state of civilization which they have reached seems to be that kind that prompts the one in office to rob all of the others blind. It is very fine, yea, superfine for the ins, but hell on the outs. * * * Harry Carroll says he knew of Riplinger's shortage before Riplinger left Seattle and yet he did not have him detained until the matter was satisfactorily explained. If this statement is correct, then it would seem Carroll was derelict to his duty. "How dry and hot it is today," was said and repeated by the hundreds who roamed the streets in the lower parts of the city last Sunday. Don't desert your friends until you are positive they have wilfully committed a crime. Is municipal grafting a contagious malady, is a question for political doctors to determine. "When will that special edition be out?" has been asked us on all sides. We are pleased to announce it will be out next week. A sermon of good sound advice was preached to our folk at the Methodist church last Sunday night. Let's have more of them—they are needed. The person who thinks that Seattle is not an up-to-date city will doubtless find himself mistaken when a committee has investigated the municipal offices. "It never rains but it pours" might be said of San Francisco when speaking of the troubles that city is having. What with earthquakes, fires, riots, grafts, strikes and crazy murderers, that town is having troubles of its own. Pity the Poor Millionaire. The multi-millionaire looked sad. To the body of men who approached him for a large donation he said: "I am sorry to refuse, gentlemen, but even I feel uncommonly poor tonight." "Doubtless," said the spokesman, "we have come too late, you have already given away vast sums to other charities." "No," said the multi-millionaire, and this time real tears stood in his eyes; "not that. My wife has been buying a new hat."—Judge. MONEY. The notes used by the Bank of England cost exactly a cent each. In 1844 Napier's coin weighing machine was used in the Bank of England. In the fifth century before Christ refined copper was deemed as precious as gold. Among some native Australians greenstone and red ochre formed the currency. The old Chinese gold coins were in the form of cubes, while the bronze coins were shaped like knives and mining tools, Saving the Wrong Thing. Recently this lawyer was counsel in a suit for divorce, wherein he was examining a woman who had taken the stand in behalf of the plaintiff. "Now, madam," began the attorney, who is always saying the wrong thing, "repeat the slanderous statements made by the defendant on this occasion." "Oh, they are unfit for any respectable person to hear!" gasped the witness. "Then, madam," said the attorney coaxingly, "suppose you just whisper them to his honor the judge."—The Cleveland Leader. 1. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Where He Put Up. "And you really claim to be an aristocrat in disguise?" said the haughty lady in the barouche, as she dropped a gold piece to the mendicant who had stopped the runaway horses. "Yes, mum," replied the latter, tipping his crownless hat. "Well, we are descended from the Normans. What house are you from?" "The 'house of correction,' mum." WORTH KNOWING. In reply to an advertisement for a woman typist at a salary of $3.75 a week a London firm received no fewer than 397 replies. A man who has lived in London for fourteen years never saw the cabman who bears badge number one until one day last month. The cabby was talking to a colleague bearing the badge No. 14,032. New York City is the greatest Y. M. C. A. center in the world. It has more than 40 organizations and 20,000 members. It has 400 secretaries and employees, and 2,- 800 of its members are officeholders and committeemen. Its largest building, the 23d street branch cost $1,000,000 and has 3,600 members. Brigadier General Bell, who has been looking over the defenses of Boston harbor, says that it is the most strongly fortified in the world. He says that "the forts are so located that they can train their guns to make it almost impossible for any warship or fleet of war vessels to get within striking distance of the city." One of the two famous silk woven pictures of George Washington in existence in this country is owned by a Cleveland, Ohio, family, that of L. R. Pullman. The picture is one of ten woven in Lyons, France. Only three of these are known to have come to this country. One of these was burned in the San Francisco fire, and the other is in possession of the Washington artillery, with headquarters at Charleston, S. C. Religious Thought. Neglect—The people of this day have little time for thoughts of God. They give him the go-by. Its business all week with them, and on Sunday the great newspaper. They accept all his blessings and then forget him.—Rev. H. C. Morrison, Methodist, New Orleans. La. A free government necessarily implies a free person and free speech, and, while it may be true that now and then there may have been abuse of these privileges, yet we believe it to be the exception and not the rule.—Rev. G. A. Knerr, Evangelist, Pottsville, Pa. Education—Education is the cornerstone of all civil and social life. Why is this unless it be that the educated man is seen to be sounder in his moral judgments, truer to the ideals he cherishes, and safer in the leadership which he offers than the man without formal education?—Rev. E. H. Capea, Congregationalist, Medford, Massachusetts. Three Great Forces—The church, the home and the school are the three great moralizing and spiritualizing forces of society, and these three should be essentially one. The church hallows the home and explains its true significance; the home in turn feeds the church; both sustain the schools.—Rev. D. Dorchester, Methodist, Pittsburg, Pa. Riches—There are other riches than money. The mind has its riches of thought which always will command friends. There are riches of the heart which attract followers and lovers, and there are riches of genius which always compel the admiration and applaudits of the world. Rev. C. B. Mitchell, Methodist, Cleveland, Ohio. Pain—Christ teaches the world that pain has a ministry, that men often come through pain as a means of promotion to higher spiritual attainments, even as Joseph passed through prison on his way to promotion. Pain teaches men the evanescence of this world.—Rev. A. C. Smither, Disciple, Los Angeles, Cal. The Higher Court-Christianity is the sanest and grandest conception of human life yet given to the world. Her standards are higher than any other, and they alone have resulted in the purifying and sanctifying of the body and the regeneration of the mind. To Christianity men must look for the supreme tribunal of the soul. -Rev. C. E. McNally, Baptist, Brooklyn, N. Y. The Bible God's purpose in giving the world the Bible, we can confidently say was not to tell men all that He knew, nor to tell them what would be startling to them, but to set before them only what would be graduated to their understanding and what would be adjusted to the moral and religious condition in which it found them.

On account of the enjoyment and invigorating elements that attend an hour spent in the parks and along the lake shores, the members of the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Forum decided to suspend meetings until the first Sunday in October. The committees appointed to solicit lodgings for delegates to the Christian Endeavor convention and to prepare an evening's entertainment for the visitors, will call the body to meet some time in June to report their actions and perfect the necessary arrangements for the successful consummation of these objects. It was pointed out that discrimination and race prejudice were likely to make it unpleasant for the colored delegates that will attend. So in order to protect our race from insults and the good name and reputation of our city from being disgraced, it is necessary for all of us to co-operate in this matter of entertaining the visitors. It was also made emphatic that we must honor and respect our representatives, if we expect others to do so. The Forum closed by all joining in singing, "My Country 'Tis-of Thee." SEATTLE THEATRE. The "Roof Garden Tragedy" that has had such a successful run at the Seattle Theater this week, is a clean but graphic representation of the incidents that led up to the Thaw tragedy. Those who have so studiously read the accounts given in the daily papers can have an opportunity to see the tragedy in action. The play runs until Saturday night. Next week at the Seattle, beginning Sunday matinee, "Peck's Bad Boy" will be presented. This will afford the ladies and children an opportunity to see something that will not offend their sensibilities, and at the same time it will amuse everyone. THE LYRIC. The show this week at the Lyric is making everybody laugh. The Lewi. & Lake company in the musical comedy, "A $10,000 Beauty," is giving what is doubtless the best show yet given at the Lyric. The chorus is composed of a lot of pretty girls who can sing and dance well. The work of the comedians is good. The prima donna, Miss Lois Cecil Hobson, has a good soprano voice, is pretty and adds tone to the already clever en semble.
