The question of open shops has become the paramonnt issue on the Pacific coast today. Whether a man has a right to employ any one who applies for work or whether the applicant must have the union stamp on his forehead, is a thing that must be settled now if the prosperity and "good time"'s that prevail are to continue. The labor unions, emboldened by the success that has come to them in late years, and strengthened by the bank accounts they have been able to accumulate by the good wages they have received, are today threatening the tie up of nearly every big concern on the Coast. They object to the employment of any person on whose forehead the union stamp is not branded, and defy any large concern to employ any but white labor. They claim that an open shop and that the employment of Negro help will demoralize the work and reduce the wages, which is not borne out by facts and figures. The Oregon Improvement Co., now the Pacific Coast Co., some years ago brought colored miners to their mines at Franklyn and Newcastle and established the "open shop" which they maintain today. The white miners who have manhood enough not to be bossed by a union have been able to secure work. The Negroes who desire it have also been given work; the union men who apply are also given work, and all the employees are receiving the same pay that union men elsewhere are receiving. The company has eliminated strikes and thus are able to work their mines every day and give the public the benefit of coal thus produced, a thing that would have been utterly impossible if they had not been running an open shop. The gas company of this city runs an open shop in the making of their product and employ many colored men whose wages are more than was paid before they employed colored help, the service rendered the company is entirely satisfactory, and the long suffering public is assured of gas at all times. The Sumner Iron Works, at Everett, has the open shop system on all classes, and all colors are employed, and yet the standard wages paid are the same as in other foundries; but the fear, inconvenience and losses of strikes are an impossibility. There are a few other establishments today that are making a life and death SEATTLE. WASHINGTON MAY 17, 1907 struggle against unionism. The Moran Co., of this city, seeing the injustice to the laboring world, in not being permitted to hire a man who could not present a union card, is now attempting to establish the open shop, so that it can employ some of the many laboring men that are being attracted to the Sound by the opportunities for bettering their condition that are offered here, but who are too independent to be held down by some labor union boss. The company also finds that there are some colored laborers who are just as steady and whose work is just as good as the white men, who are looking for work, and who should be allowed to work anywhere, without the discriminations that the unions place on men of color. The longshoremen are striking, but the companies find that non union men can load vessels just as well and just as rapidly as the union men. These are only a few of the firms that feel that all men should have an opportunity to work at the going wage without regard to color or anything else except efficiency. We do not advocate the bringing into the country of car loads of strike-breakers, but the public demands that all men here be given an opportunity to work, and let the best man have the place regardless of his color or his membership in any union. Open the doors and leave it to the "survival of the fittest." SEATTLE SPIRIT NEEDED. The unprecedented growth, advancement and development of Seattle is due more to the Seattle spirit than any other cause. In all things that were for the good of the town everyone has worked and acted in unison, and against every measure calculated to injure or impede its progress, the entire population is a solid phalanx. Thus we have been able to promote and prosper the things that were good and to kill and crush out any injurious and deleterious sentiments that have arisen. The 'Seattle Spirit' must now be called into operation on a most important matter. Our city is on the eve of entertaining its first large body of visitors. It is an open bidder for the National Republican convention next year, and for many other large bodies that are to meet before and at the time of the great Fair that is to be the crowning object of all our efforts. As members of the board of trustees of the Christian Endeavor Society that meets here in July are three Negroes. Two of them bishops in two of the great branches of the Methodist church, and one a well known educator and christian worker. All three are educated, refined christian gentlemen, the peers of any other men who will attend the convention. The great Christian Endeavor Society recognizing their ability, standing and usefulness, has seen fit to make them trustees of the society. The other trustees, recognizing in LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRICE TEN CENTS. them their equals, have never objected to mingling and associating with them on account of color. They will come in the same cars, meet in the same hall, sit on the same platform, pray to the same God, go to the same heaven in the end, and in all these no objections are made on account of color. Yet it remained for a second-class hotel in Seattle to say that these gentlemen, these Trustees of the Great Christian Endeavor, cannot sleep in the same house with the other trustees because they are black. It remains for a committee of christian (?) gentlemen to be weak enough to allow the management of this hotel to thus insult the great body of Christian Endeavor of the world. This management and this committee have thus blighted the fair name of our city. They have said to the world that Seattle is unfair, unjust and unchristian. They have killed every possibility we had of securing the National Republican convention. They have kept away thousands of dollars that would have been spent in our city, and why has this been done? Because of the smallness of their dwarfed souls, of the meagerness of their perverted intellects—they imagine that the other trustees, noble, broad-minded, christian gentlemen—would be pleased at such action. If ever that true "Seattle Spirit," that has always been honest fair and just, was needed to right a wrong and protect the city from disgrace it is needed now. The city should rise up as one man and condemn these weaklings for disgracing this noble city. Credit to Civic League. The civic League of men's clubs has fulfilled the expectations of those who called it into existence and has earned a right to the commendation of all right thinking citizens. To definitely measure the credit due it for the election of Mayor Moore to the mayoralty in Spokane would be difficult, if not impossible. Its influence penetrated into all parts of the city and was felt in many places unknown even to the members of the league. The result is seen, after four months of work, in the overthrow of one of the strongest political machines that ever afflicted any city. Much of this result was due to the active work of the men's clubs, to their organized effort and their intelligent and conservative discusssion of the great reform problem before the city. Much of it, moreover, was due to an almost indefinable influence which the participation of men of recognized good standing in the community had upon others who were too busy to thoroughly study the subject themselves. Without more than a general knowledge of Mr. Moore many voters felt that they could place confidence in a man whom their neighbors, members of the civic club, were so warmly indorsing. This personal factor is, of course, not always a safe guide. A man's judgment may be warped, no matter how good his intentions. It should be the aim and effort of every citizen to fully acquaint himself with all the facts and form his own judgment, but since there are some who cannot do this it is gratifying to know that in the struggle which has just ended they had worthy guides. The members of the civic clubs have reason to congratulate themselves on their share in the work of freeing the city from a vicious and demoralizing municipal administration. They were wise in not allowing themselves to be carried away by a few extremists, whose advice was injudicious though well meant. They can still do good by maintaining a lively interest in the incoming administration, giving it their moral support in all measures for the welfare of the city.—Spokesman Review. Hon. Lee A. Johnson. Representative Lee Johnson, of North Yakima, and well known in Walla Walla, is being groomed as a candidate for governor on the Republican ticket. It is stated that his candidacy is one of the strongest possibillities of the first direct primary election for state officers which will be held next year. Friends of Mr. Johnson are said to have secured his consent to become a candidate, and they are beginning to frame up their campaign, believing that under the primary law it is never too early to get busy. Mr. Johnson was one of the recognized leaders in the house of representatives and was popular with the members. He was chairman of the irrigation committee and as such was recognized as fully capable of framing and passing upon legislation upon that subject. His ability as a legislator was so well recognized that he was the only member of the house, not a lawyer, who was given a place upon the judiciary committee. As father of the local option bill Mr. Johnson incurred the displeasure of the liquor dealers' association, but his friends believe that his record is such that he may be nominated and elected in spite of its opposition.—Walla Walla Bulletin. The Store that Sells Everything. The department field is growing, growing, growing, with amazing vigor. The number of these big establishments in New York City has more than doubled since 1896, and fully two-thirds of the firms have moved into huge new buildings the past three years, or are about to do so. Where, hardly a generation ago, the retail shopping district was confined to a few blocks on lower Broadway, now there are at least four centers, scattered over three miles of streets, and a wholly new one is being created around the Waldorf-Astoria. The young man who embarks in this business isn't going to sea in a bowl. Observers say that even the present magnitude of this trade is small compared to what will come as organizations develop. The next logical step centers, for instance, in deliveries, and in New York will probably take the form of wagon services radiating, not from the stores, as at present, but from sub-stations, where bundles will be for- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN warded in bulk and resorted. One of the new stores has facilities for taking a two horse delivery van down into its shipping basement on an elevator. It must not be inferred that the retail merchant is a disappearing type. -Saturday Evening Post. Danger Signals. "I want more," cries labor, already in enjoyment of the highest wages in a generation. "I want more," says capital in enjoyment of the highest level of interest upon money invested in many years. "I want more," cries the merchant, as he pockets the highest prices for commodoties. "I want more," cries the housewife to her husband, as she compares her allowance with the advancing costs of living. "More," "more," everywhere the demand is for "more." Railroads want more money for extensions and equipment. Investors want more dividends, wage earners want more wages, society more to spend on luxuries that are fast becoming necessities, colleges more endowments, and the government more appropriations. Where is "more" coming from?—Wall Street Journal. Ruef has confessed; outraged justice is vindicated. Is true christianity to warped by color prejudice that exists in irresponsible persons. Political movements which make railroad investments unattractive to men with money, at a time when the whole country is suffering from a lack of transportation facilities, may commend themselves to people, but when the frenzy wears off and good sense once more asserts itself, the leaders of the movement will not be the immortal statesmen that they are now supposed to be.—Yakima Republic. A lesson could be learned from the Spokane election. Moore was no abler man than Mayor Daggett, yet he won. The moral element rose in protest against a wide open town and the saloon men made a mistake when they accepted the issue. However, while a Republican mayor was elected, it was in no sense a political triumph for that party. The Democratic comptroller and treasurer were elected, the former with as great a plurality as Moore for Mayor. Again the council is a tie politically. This body is presided over by a president who must be elected by the council and has the appointing of the committees. Also, the mayor's appointees must be confirmed by the council, so while the mayor has a large appointive power he can hardly force his hand on political lines. At the primaries the old Republican ring that has so long swung the whip over the voters heads was given a back seat. This under the law may be expected in all the future municipal elections. Whenever a ring expects to get into power under the primary law, it will get left.—Davenport (Democratic) Tribune. News of the Week. John Krula, of Chicago, shot and killed his wife because she had a picture of a former lover. The police commission of North Yakima has decided to spend $500 in improving the jail of that town. Preston & Smith, the labor union men who are charged with the murder of Silva, at Goldfields, were found guilty. Young ladies threw roses and kisses at the strike breakers in San Francisco and a fat woman loaded them with cakes. The strike is virtually broken. While riding on an engine at the rate of 20 miles an hour Chief of Police Mencemeyer, of Pittsburg, reached down and caught a prisoner by the collar and pulled him on the moving engine. The state of Oregon has proclaimed a quarantine against sheep from the state of Washington, Nevada and California on the ground that sheep from these states are affected with scab. A woman who claims to be Mrs. Sarah Jane Brown-Jones, daughter of Joseph Brown of Vermont, has been in Olympia five years and has all this time been unable to tell her name or where she came from. She is about 70 years old and was a lady of education and refinement before her mind failed. SATURDAY. The longshoremen's strike continues in New York and millions are being lost.

A mob at Butte City, Mont., made a most desperate attempt to lynch a city detective, who the mob supposed had shot and killed a prisoner who was trying to escape. William B. Grainger and Gilbert Joire were killed by black damp in their mine at Whitehorse, Y. T. They had just sold the mine for $50,000 and were showing it to the new owners. The Tennessee Coal and Iron company LLL ee received an order for 150,000 tons of steel rails from the Harriman system. The value of the order is cloge to $5,000,000. The order must be delivered next year. MONDAY. A body believed to be that of Phillip Hammond, was found near Starbuck, Wn. Ninety men lost their lives by fire ina copper mine in Mexico. The fire is still burning. President Diaz says Mexico is too busy developing and improving the country to fight Guatemala just now. The first Federal grand jury for some years will meet at Denver Wednesday to investigate Colorado land frauds. A most comprehensive plot to kill Czar Nicholas was discovered and foiled by ac- cident. Many arrests have been made. The state of Idaho is following Wash- ington and ig closing saloons on Sunday. Yesterday’s trial was very satisfactory. The threat of the shovel men at Pana- ma to strike if their wages were not raised has been retracted, and the men are at work. The birth of the Spanish Prince was re- corded. The Pope named the child, Alfon- so Rio Cristino Edurado, and yet the child still lives, Some white person put dynamite under the house of Samuel Cook, a Negro at Rus- ton, La., blew up the house and killed five Negroes. No cause is known for the out- rage, A defective switch at Honda, Cal., de- railed a special train on the Coast line that was running at the rate of 50 miles an hour, killing 32 persons and injuring many more. The special was loaded with Shrin- ers, and their families returning from Los Angeles. TUESDAY. Amid wild scenes in the pit in New York, wheat wet to $1.04. Joseph K. Woods, formerly U. S. attor- ney at Nome, died Saturday in that city. The safe of Davis, Smith & Co., of Ta- coma, was cracked last night and $1,000 and valuable papers stolen. The commercial agreement between Germany and America has passed the sec- ond reading in the reichstag. Lucia Allen, age 19, who weighs 105 pounds, married W. T. Brinson, age 40, who weighs 585 pounds, at Waycross, Ga. All the preemptory chalenges have been exhausted in the Ruef trial at San Fran- cisco and the jury will likely be completed today. W. C. Wallace, cashier of the postoffice of Columbus, Ohio, committed suicide last night. His accounts show a considerable shortage. Robert Cavill, one of the Jameson raid- ers, and for whose release the mining com- panies paid $10,000, died at Dawson last Saturday. J. T. Carroll, the wealthy Butte mer- chant, must pay a fine of $750 and go to THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN jail for 24 hours, for fencing in governi- ment land. Guatemala has receded from its position and is willing to allow Gen. Lina to be charged with complicity in the murder of Gen. Barrilas. Senator Dick, chairman of the Republi- can state committee, of Ohio, has postpon- ed indefinitely the meeting of the commit- tee called for May 15th. C. A. Durfey, who pleaded guilty to criminal assault on Hope Yantis at Olym- pia, was sentenced to life imprisonment, and has been taken to Walla Walla. Floyd Andrews, mayor of Baltimore, Mich., was painted by an irate woman who says he insulted her, and that rather than kill him she only painted his face several colors. Miss Mable Gilman, actress and singer, was married to W. E, Corey, the steel magnate, in New York. Thus ends a ro- mance that has stirred society for two years. At a conference of the officers of the five unions, whose members work for the street car company at San Francisco, it was decided to call a sympathizers strike on Wednesday. The West Virginia Express dashed through an open switch at Truro, Ohio. All the coaches were demolished except a coach filled with Indians. Two men and a woman are dead. Attorney General Atkinson has stated that the committee appointed by the last legislature to inquire into the complaints against Federal reservations, forest re- serves, ete., will meet May 20. Andrew H. Simpson, of South Bridge, Mass., hypnotized himself two weeks ago and no one can bring him out. The doc- tors and scientists are puzzled and are watching the case very closely. The Octopus, the submarine boat that is being tested at Newport, R. I, is prov- ing a most wonderful success. In the trials yesterday the occupants left the boat while it was under water, thus proving that in case of accident all parties are not doomed to death. WEDNESDAY. The jury in the Ruef case at San Fran- ‘cisco has been secured and the trial will begin today. The three men who robbed the Ephrata bank pleaded guilty at Spokane and were given six years each at Walla Walla. Gold bearing quartz has been found a few miles out from Anacortez.

Mad dogs caused a panic at Jackson, Mich. Fifty were reported mad in one day. Policemen were ordered to shoot all dogs not muzzled. Many persons have been bitten and several children will die. The strike in San Francisco grows seri- ous again. The attacks on the cars were so fierce that the non union men decline to go out any more unless given pistols to protect themselves. The police force is un- able to protect the cars. Abe Ruef, charged with graft and ex- tortion, in a trembling voice today pleaded guilty. This was done against the advice of his lawyer. While he plead guilty as charged, Ruef still ciaims he is innocent of extortion, that he is only guilty of conniv- ing at crime. His sentence will be pro- nounced in about two weeks.

FUR And Fur Garments A SPECIALTY Afro=Americanism. Dr. S. A. Huff, a prominent colored physcian of Pueblo, Col., has been appointed police surgeon by the Democratic administration of that city. Judge Mifflin W. Gibbs, of Little Rock, Ark., has just celebrated his 84th birthday and is yet vigorous and active. Judge Gibbs is one of very few men left of that noble galaxy of our race that did such yoeman service in the liberation of slaves and the making of citizens from the once chattels. We bare our heads to the noble leader of our race. Miss Bernice Saunders, of 841 Santa Fe Ave., Denver, Colorado, was valedictorian of her class at the high school, April 19th. She was the only Negro in the class of 14, and was the youngest of the class. An interview with the principal, Miss Anna L. Force, revealed the fact that Miss Saunders bears the distinctinction of being the most astute and intellectual scholar for her age with whom she has ever come in contact, and her deportment has won for her the deepest admiration and friendship of all. Because of a protest registered with Mayor A. C. Harper, of Los Angeles, Cal., by colored residents of that city, an order has been issued to the police department directing the removal of certain signs in saloons and restaurants reading, "Colored trade not desired," and "Colored people will not be served." The action of the mayor was not officially made a part of the municipal business, but it is said a failure to comply with the request of the police department will result in the revocation of licenses. It is said that Chas. P. Taft, of Cincinnati, Ohio, the brother of Secretary Taft, is worth about $30,000,000 and that he has opened his "barrel" at both ends and knocked in the bung. We don't want any "Taffy" in ours. —Richmond, Va. St Luke's Herald. The Ohio Afro-American, as well as those of the entire country, agree heartily with our esteemed contemporary, the St. Luke's Herald. Just how correct it is and to what extent the Ohio "White" press and that of the country is being subsidized by the Taft "barrel," we have only to call attention to the fact that a few weeks ago The Gazette was offered by the American Press association, having headquarters in Cincinnati and Columbus, six columns of Taft plate matter free, weekly for use in our paper. We refused the very kind (?) offer, however. It will take more than a Taft "barrel" and a subsidized press boom to coerce the Afro-American into supporting for anything disfranchisement Taft and turning from our steadfast friend, Senator Foraker. Carry the news to President Roosevelt.—Gazette. Negroes Who are Loyal. It is a fact that is generally known that the middle class of our people are more loyal to the race than any other class. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN They can be depended upon at all times to patronize race enterprises. Many of the upper or educated class theorize on what should be done and never do anything themselves and whenever anyone else attempts to do, they become "knockers." Our community is afflicted with some of this class, and some, too, who have boys and girls in whom they have high hopes of some day entering some profession, but from whom will they secure support? From the white people? It looks that way from the manner in which their parents act toward the race enterprises. What they are sowing now in this respect, they will surely reap. Fortunately we have noble exceptions to the above among this class who are doing their part consistently for race uplift.—The Tribune, Savannah, Georgia. Rising Higher than Opportunities. Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, the Chicago correspondent of the New York Age, observes: "It is interesting to note the surprise and disappointment of white men because colored men win their way to success in untried situations. They seldom fail when given a fair chance in the race of life. In this great city there are colored men who are quietly and unobtrusively doing things that they were never expected to be able to do. There are bookkeepers, expert accountants, electricians, engineers and draughtsmen. Colored men are to be found among the highest paid men in the stockyards and indeed almost every trade. In other words the Afro-American is efficient. In fact he is really growing in efficiency more rapidly than there are opportunities. Though he is not wanted anywhere in these higher callings, yet in spite of even organized opposition, he is all the time unexpectedly slipping through the half closed door of opportunity, and once in, he quickly and easily proves himself able to do whatever other men are able to do. The proof is everywhere accumulating that the race is continually rising higher than its opportunities." What Would Jefferson Say? Statesman—What is the duty of a Democrat? —Observer—To keep the whitewash scraped off the party in power.—Florida Times Union. Needed Most. Hicks—Did you hear about the accident at the opera house last night? Picks—Not a word. What was it? Hicks—A dog jumped on the stage and bit a chorus girl on the leg. Picks—I suppose they sent for a doctor? Hicks—No; an upholster. "What's the matter? You look glum." "I made my estate over to my wife last week to save it from the creditors." "Well, what of that?" "She's sold it and gone abroad with the money. She says she can't live with a man who cheats his creditors." Religious Thought Gems of Truth Gleaned from Principal Sermons Recently Delivered in the United States and Canada by the Leading Clergymen, Priests, Prelates, and Professors of the Christian Faith. (ORATOR OUTBURST) The two Sovereigns—The King is still on His golden throne, and conquers the darkness. The Queen, His church, by her reflected light and power, still moves the tides of the world.—Rev. L. W. Madden, Presbyterian, Princeton, Ind. Marriage—As soon as you can support a wife comfortably, not extravagantly, and never before, marry. When you do marry do not fail if possible, to get a Christian mother for your children.—Rev. G. H. Humason, Methodist, Camden. N. J. Enthusiasm—Somehow the world has more admiration for a big, stalwart, courageous devil than for a puny, weak, indifferent angel. Enthusiasm at least "warms up things" and I would rather have a hot box in the machinery of the church, than the whole gospel train stalled in a snow drift of congenial indifference.—Rev. J. M. Markley, Congregationalist, Denver, Col. The Human Family-It is said that the greatest wonder on earth is man himself, and indeed I believe this to be true. No man walks the earth today who may not find a representative in some Bible character, and if you diligently study the different characters recorded in the sacred book you can easily prove the truth of this statement. Rev. R. H. Carson, Presbyterian, Brooklyn, N. Y. Judaism-Judaism no longer props up its religion by force. It no longer burns men and women at the stake. It is a religion of love. We are an example to nations. We are more religious than those who send missionaries abroad, backed up by cannons. The world is coming to believe there is but one God, and Judaism is the real religion and worship of that God, the God of Elijah.—Rabbi M. S. Margolies. Hebrew, Boston, Mass. Possibilities—The culmination of life possibilities is the things small and great that we know we can do. There are things concerning which we have such knowledge. Jesus adhered to the purpose for which He came into the world. He expects us to respect our own purposes, our own thoughts; not to tell the world what others think, but what we ourselves think.—Rev. L. DeYoe, Lutheran, Harrisburg, Pa. Woman-When woman fell, man fell; and if she had not fallen, there would have existed a sinful man and a sinless woman, and the race must have ended. She was the first to sin, but she has been the first and greatest sufferer. Throughout history she has borne the burden, toiled for man, and been trampled under his feet. The faith of woman is a wonderful thing. Rev. J. E. Smith, Methodist, Washington, D. C.

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Brotherhood-Mind precedes matter. A mental concept must first be formed before a material action can take place. Since man is spiritual, the brotherhood of man must be a spiritual fact. Whatever material contrivance, societies or co-operative plans mankind may formulate and establish to carry out the idea of the brotherhood of man, the kernel and essential fact of the situation is that this brotherhood of man is, in its nature, spiritual.—Rev. W. B. McCrackan, Scientist, New York City. Polishing the Pole. In the railway station at Wilkesbarre, which has a large Slavic population, is a sign over the bootblack stand bearing the legend: "SHINE 5 Cents. POLISH 10 Cents." An Irishman stood in front of it the other day apparently plunged in profound thought. At length he pulled his pipe from his mouth and spat vigorously. "Faith and they'd be doin' well to cha-r-rge double for dagoes too," was his emphatic comment.—Harper's Weekly. The Largest Printed Book. The largest book yet printed is a colossal atlas of engraved ancient Dutch maps. It takes three men to move it from the giant bookcase in the British Museum. This monster book is bound in leather, magnificently decorated and is fastened with clasps of solid silver, richly gilt. It is unlikely to be stolen, however, for it is nearly seven feet high and weighs 800 pounds. This, the largest book in the world, was presented to King Charles II before leaving Holland in 1660.—Kansas City Journal.

"Yes," answered the purely selfish person, "but the people who do the most toward making history very seldom draw any royalties on the publication."—Washington Star.
