SEATTLE REPUBLICAN NORTHWEST VOL. XIIINO. 48 SEATTLE REPUBLICAN H. R. Cayton ..... or and Publisher Susie Revels Cayton ..... Associate Entered at the Postoffice at Sea .e, as Second Class Mail Matter, LET THEM ALONE. Since the local committee of the Christian Endeavor Society has seen fit to draw the color line, when there was absolutely no excuse, cause or justification for its being done, and when its actions are being condemned by the pulpit and press all over the state and throughout the entire country except in the South, where the white man is a more or less barbarian, it is therefore the duty of every self-respecting Negro in Seattle to absolutely and flatfootedly refuse to in any form or manner entertain either of the three Negro trustees at their homes during the sessions of the convention, if in face of all that has been said and done, they insist on attending the coming convention at this place next July. The local committee backed by Secretary Shaw has with malice aforethought and hell in their hearts drawn the color line in Seattle by insisting on quartering the trustee board at an objection hotel, when a half dozen other hotels far better equipped to accommodate the board and at a less expense than what the committee is paying to the second rate lodging house miscalled the Lincoln hotel, for its accommodation, stood ready to take the entire board with no question as to its personel, all of which is proof sufficient that, it was done that someone somewhere down the line might reap a personal gain at everybody's expense, and the facts having been sufficiently exploited the Negro trustees should have more manhood and self respect than to come to Seattle to the convention, and, if they do, then the Negroes of this city should have more manhood and self-respect than to entertain them in their homes. If the Rev. Mathews, who claims to know the instincts and distincts so thoroughly knows whereof he speaks, then let him entertain them in his own home, or in his barn, or in any other place he sees fit to put them, just so he does not appeal to the home of some Negro for their accommodation. There are Negroes in Seattle who are able to entertain those distinguished colored gentlemen, or an equal number of white gentlemen, a hundred times more elaborately than the Rev. Mathews, but those colored Seattleites do not know the instincts and distincts of those eminent Negroes so well as does the Rev. Mathews and therefore the honor should be all his. It has been only a few months ago since Councilman H. C. Gill, of this city, in a public speech exploited the SEATTLE. WASHINGTON MAY 31, 1907 instincts and distincts of the Rev. Mathews, and if one-half he said about this modern Ichabod be true, then in telling about the instincts and distincts of the Negro the dear doctor was measuring their corn by his half bushel. Our experience has taught us that the Southern white man knew the instincts and distincts of bnt two classes of Negroes—those he desired to rope and those he desired to rape. If those who brought about all this disturbance represent "Christianity" then hell is full and overflowing with Christians. Afro-Americans are advising their people not to attend the meetings of the Christian Endeavorers in this city because an hotel management has decided not to receive colored delegates. It is a pity that there is but one hotel in this city. An 80-page edition profusely illustrated is The Northwest Negro Progress Number. John Cort has returned to Seattle from New York and he declares he has the scalps of more stars in his belt. When the mysterious Mr. Raffles began raffling with The Times, Seattle could boast of a pair of damphools of the none such. The Sunday closing law will not be enforced by Spokane's new mayor, but the dance halls have hit the highway for a long walk. If a few experts outside of the court house ring would go over the county records there might be more sons-of-guns for Honduras. The decision of the railroad commission that "Harriman has done no wrong," may mean that Harriman is expected to furnish the money for the Taft campaign. The passing of Charles Wesley Smith from the city library to take up the practice of law probably spoils a splendid librarian for a very poor attorney. The cooks and waiters of the city are threatening to go on a strike, which must mean that the public has not been tipping the hashers as liberally as they desire. Open your shops to mechanics regardless of their affiliations with labor organizations and you will have done the greatest good for the gretaest number of the human family. When a man will quit a job which pays him $150 per month to take one that only pays him $75 per month, then you can bet your bottom dollar "there's a nigger in the woodpile." Honest John Riplinger" is short in so --- PRICE TEN CENTS. many of his accounts that one is lead to think that he did nothing but devise ways and means to rob the city while he was comptroller. What the Negro is doing in this state may be seen in the Negro Progress Number just issued by this paper. In sticking to the Lincoln hotel for the entertaining of the Christian Endeavor trustee board who is to get the rake-off, the local committee or the general secretary of the society? So many "honest" as well as "honorable" men are mixed up in government timber stealing that the Christian Endeavor in this part of the moral vinyard is liable to suffer greatly from a slump in its membership. Seattle's Commercial Club wants the restricted district moved. Evidently some member of that club has some land for sale and he has promised the other fellows a cut if they would only help him pull the thing through. "We are rushing things now in installing water meters and are putting in on an average ten a day,' which means that the man who has applied for a meter may get it this year, next year, the year after, or any old time. If the women and the men, who are endeavoring to make Seattle "a city beautiful," would just throw Rev. Mathews into the bay or some other place of concealment the first step toward accomplishing their purpose will have been taken. Adams, the Seattle gold thief, stole to make his wife rich and happy, and now she has the money and Adams is in the penitentiary she wants to shake him, and yet no one has heard her speak of giving up the swag. Consistency thou art a jewel. Love for fine clothes lead a young woman in Chicago to rob a church organ treasury and to commit forgery, for which she has been sent to prison for an indefinite time. That young lady was doubtless a member of the Christian Endeavor Society. Mayor Tom Johnson's children have made a mess at marrying. The son married his sister's maid, and the daughter a Monte Carlo tin horn. It often happens that carefully educated children break their parent's hearts by marrying ill-bred brutes. Rotation in office is responsible for more than half of the shortages that occur in public offices. At the next municipal election it would be well to make a clean sweep at the city hall, and in the county nominations a similar sweep should be made. Not --- a man now holding office in the city or county should be left to tell the tale. *** There may be virtue in Christianity, but there seems to be darn little Christianity in Virtue. The Northwest Negro Progress Number of The Seattle Republican is now out and may be had at the office. With a million dollar bank organized in Seattle some of her jealous neighbors will wonder what in the Sam Hill she will undertake next. If there is a Negro in all Seattle that will entertain either of the trustees of the Christian Endeavor, then he or she is lacking in real patriotism. "Yes the weather is ideal, but it may mean that we will have bad weather in June or some other time in the future." Must have a kick coming. If we owned hell and the heaven that the local committee of the Christian Endeavor expect to go to when they die, we would rent out that heaven and live in hell. * * * From the tangled condition of the "special fund" held by the comptroller it begins to look as if there had been more fingers in the pie than those of John Riplinger. With a case of well developed small pox in the county jail we suspect the keen desire of some of the women to become matrons of the county jail has considerably waned. If the Japanese paper is to be believed even the Japanese preacher has fallen a victim to the American disease known as "grafitist.". The germs seem to be in the very air. It is said that Taft has won the fight in Ohio even before the battle has been pitched. If Taft has already won then let Bryan buckle on his armor as Taft will be an easy presidential victim. While the local committee of the Christian Endeavor Society is certain there will be no Negro in the Lincoln hotel it looks very much like in reaching that conclusion the members.thereof overlooked the "nigger in the woodpile." If the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world then man, poor man, is in line for his own, as the new woman forces him to stay home and rock the cradle while she gallivants about the town attending her various club meetings. * * * Timber grafting has been going on in this state as well as in Oregon, and in this state some of those who pray the longest and loudest at religious services are badly mixed up in the deal. Who said the Amer- --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ican man is not money mad? Abe Hummel, of New York, and Abe Ruef, of San Francisco, two noted criminal lawyers, made an awful poor mess at defending themselves in court. The fellow who defends himself in criminal proceedings has been said to have a fool for a lawyer. * * * Tacoma continues to boast of the number of new manufactures it is daily getting and yet there seems to be no perceptible increase in her population. Probably the workmen live in Seattle and go over on the Interurban every morning to operate those industries. Dr. Mathews publicly declared he knew well the instincts and distincts of the Negro. An open confession is said to be good for the soul. Few preachers there are from the South that will admit in public that they know all of the distincts of the Negro. How many have you, Doctor? For some unaccountable reason the Evening Swillbarrel has not given the public a dose of black vomit for some weeks about the barrels of money the Times Publishing Company is making for Blethen and his sons. Wonder if that's an indication that Seattle's Only Real Morning Paper is an elephant on their hands? --- DERORATION DAY. Decoration Day is again with us. Loving hands have laid nature's most beautiful creations on the nation's most honored dead. The inborn sentiment of partiotism in the breast of the younger generation has been watered by the tears of loving mothers and faithful associates. The young have been given another lesson in patriotism an hero worship. It is right and it is proper. Every individual who enjoys the privileges vouchsafed by the constitution of the United States should lay a token of respect and honor on the graves or monuments of the nations dead. All honor to those brave men who left their homes and comforts and accepted the hardships and discomfitures of the field in order that future generations might enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This day, of all days, should be sacred to the Negro. The first man who raised his hand in forceful opposition to English forces was a Negro. The first blood shed for the liberation of this country from British rule was Negro blood. Although most of them were slaves and regardless of the fact that the English army offered them freedom to enlist in that army, five thousand enlisted in the Colonial army and fought as bravely as any and were often mentioned as heroes during that war. The war of 1812 found the Negro again to the front and defending this country. We all know his record during the Civil War. You can see him when at Fort Pillow and Fort Wagner he was ordered to storm the forts thought to be impregnable for they wanted to try the Negroe's bravery, in order to see if slavery had made him fear the white man. It is a matter of history how he with a yell would rush for the fort while thousands were being mown down by grape shot from the enemies canon. All fair minded men admit that the bravery shown at these battles by the Negro troops has not been surpassed by any soldiers in modern times and has only been equaled by the Japs at Port Arthur. It took the Negro to subdue the Irdian and make it possible to inhabit the Western plains. Last but not least when our country was embroiled with Spain, the Negro ever ready to give his life for this country, enlisted by the thousands. When the battle of Santiago was fought he was there. When the Rough Riders with Col. Roosevelt were being cut down like grass, when annihilation of the entire company was imminent, it was the Negro soldier who went to their assistance. Although they had to advance against a withering Spanish fire they went, saved the Rough Riders, won the battle and planted the Stars and Stripes on San Juan Hill. Then when the flowers are laid today on the graves of our country's defenders, let the bravery and patriotism of the Negro be remembered; when eulogies are spoken let them be just and impartial; when vows of future patriotism and fidelity are made, let them include all men regardless of color or race. President Roosevelt has wronged the men who saved Colonel Roosevelt's life. It was too small and unjust a thing for so great and emminent a man to do, but he did it in order to take away some of the glory and honor due that noble regiment. There is another war coming on—a war when the United States will contend with a darker race—when this great Pacific Coast will be the seat of operation. What will the Negro do then? He has never been a traitor, will he then for protection against the people who lynch him, burn him, shoot down his wife and children, discriminate against him even in religious bodies-I ask will the Negro out of self preservation join the darker race? God grant that the spirit of right and justice that eminates from such occasions as Decoration Day and the like may move upon the American people and that the Negro will be treated in such a manner that he will always be as loyal to the flag as he has been since the flag has been a flag. The Seattle Republican desires to anounce 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. God and Self- We make religion a matter of personal dealing between Him and us. It is God's voice that we hear; it is God's call that we answer; it is to God that we give our heart; it is with God that we covenant; it is to God that we tell our purposes; it is upon God that we rely. There are two of us, and only two of us God and self. Rev. David Gregg, Presbyterian, Allegheny, Pa. ...POLITICAL POT-PIE... "Yes," said the Hon. S. G. Cosgrove one day this week, who for the past week has been in Seattle attending the annual meeting of the board of regents of the University of Washington. "I have announced my candidacy for governor to succeed Gov. Albert E. Mead. That I am early in the fight I fully realize, but a publication in Seattle came out and positively stated that I had withdrawn from the race when in fact every word it said was false and so I delayed no longer in announcing my candidacy. I am not on the Sound at this time in the interest of my candidacy, but on business pertaining to the State University. 'My gubernatorial candidacy is in no wise hooked up with the Senatorial fight for a successor to Senator Levi Ankeny and I therefore know nothing whatever of the status of that fight. I can give you no information whatever as to the local trouble in Walla Walla city and county. That is not my fight and using the street vernacular 'I have troubles of my own.' As to how I am succeeding is not for me to say, but for you newspaper men to find out, which, judging from the past, you will certainly do." *** Notwithstanding Mr. Cosgrove's reticence to discuss his candidacy, the Piemaker has learned from many sources that he is very popular politically and is liable to have a power of strength in Western Washington and almost certain of having Eastern Washington all but harmonious. He has no real enemies in the state and the Pie-maker is of the opinion that all of the daily papers in Eastern Washington will openly support him and none of the daily papers in Western Washington will oppose him. *** Mr. Riplinger's extradition from Honduras may be delayed, it is said, on account of unsettled conditions there. If Honduras can manage to stand off extradition it will not long remain unsettled.—Olympia Capital. * * * Another political pet has gone wrong. This time it is John Riplinger for many years the comptroller of the city of Seattle. The news of the shortage brought much sorrow for it was thought it was a matter of adverse circumstances rather than downright stealing. But further investigation proves that he had been doing crooked work for years. It is a safe plan to pass offices around frequently. The longer a man is in office the more apt he seems to be to go wrong.—White River Journal. * * * According to a report from North Yakima, Gov. Albert E. Mead has practically announced himself a candidate to succeed himself—that is to say, he will be a candidate for the nomination at the direct primary next year. This will be a very different proposition from the one under which he secured the nomination three years ago, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN for this time the people will have a say in the matter. In 1904 Mr. Mead was chosen as a compromise. He was not spoken of in connection with the governorship until the exigencies of the convention brought him to the front, and his final selection was the biggest kind of a surprise to the public at large. But the Republican party took him on trust and elected him, though by a comparatively small majority. In the coming campaign he will be judged by the record of his first term, and it goes without saying that he will have no walkover. Tacoma New Herald. * * * Governor Mead, notwithstanding the strenuous opposition of certain state papers, including the Yakima Republic, goes merrily on driving his stakes for re-election. With the active aid of the Wilson-Perkins press, together with his own political machine and the pressure that he can exert by virtue of his high office, the governor expects to control the situation at the Republican primaries. Perhaps he can, indeed it seems very likely that he may do so. But if he does it will mean a spirited campaign next year in spite of the present decrepit condition of the Democratic organization in this state. Four years more of Mead misgovernment and unparalleled extravagance is more than the average citizen of intelligence is willing to stand for. In spite of the overwhelming Republican majority in this state the Democrat believes that there is yet sufficient righteousness and civic pride among the voters of Washington under proper organization, to reject at the polls the unwelcome second candidacy of Gov. Mead. In spite of the 73,000 plurality that the state gave Theodore Roosevelt the governor would have been beaten for a first term had it not been for the disreputable tactics used in his behalf.—North Yakima Democrat. Out-Heroding Herod. An American visiting Dublin told some startling stories of the height of New York skyscrapers. "Ye haven't seen our newest hotel, have ye?" asked an Irishman. "No," replied the Yankee. "Well," said the Irishman, "its so tall that we have to put the two top stories on hinges." "What for?" asked the American. "So that we can let 'em down while the moon goes by!"—Tit-Bits. The Bank for Savings. The Bank for Savings. Savings Accounts Only Received. TRUSTEES Gabriel Faure Joshua Green Andrew Hemrich G.

A car load of apples were sold at Yaki- ma for $1600 to Butte merchants. The price equals $2.50 a box or $1.00 a box more than the usual price. The Chinese woodchoppers in southern British Columbia are demanding a raise of. pay from $2.50 to $3 per day, and say they will strike if the raise is not granted. The grand jury has returned nineteen indictments of eighty-nine counts against the givers and takers of bribes in connec- tion with railroad franchises in San Fran- cisco. The dead body of Father Kaspar of the Armenian Apostolic church was fonnd in a trunk in New York City. The trunk was left as security for room rent by two Greeks. A contractor in tearing down an old house found a tin box which contained $117,000 worth of railroad bonds and $600 in gold coin. The original owner disap- peared in 1874. Two-hundred shingle mills in Snohom- ish, Whatcom and Skagit counties will shut down until July 10th. Car shortage is the cause given. Two thousand men are thrown out of work. The war between rival polite forces at Butte City, Montana, has allowed the town to fill with thugs. The mayor re- moved the entire force and the council re- fused to confirm his appointees. More trouble is being experienced in se- curing jurors at Boise. Talesmen were THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN prejudiced by the Presidents letter. The last venire is vanishing and another will be necessary before the jury is completed. Three yeggmen terrorized the town of Hornell, N.

So long as a boy or girl has true self re- spect, vice has little aattraction for them. With the loss of self respect the boy is likely to lose all that makes manhood true and noble. —The Reformer. The Drury Opera Co., the only Negro Grand Opera Company in the country, made a wonderful hit in Boston last week.

The 40th annual session of the Virginia Baptist state convention met at Staunton. The convention was welcomed by the may- or, the pastor of the white Baptist church and president of the school board of that city. The convention reported $10,700 rais ed during the year for educational purpo- ses. The National Baptist Publishing Board, whose plant is located at Nashville, Tenn., is the largest and best equipped printing office owned and operated by Negroes in the world. It can print anything from a calling card to an encyclopedia. They em- ploy several hundred skilled workmen, and their business last year amounted to $150- 000. Walter Smith, the Negro inventor of a device that will prevent a train from wrecking when it crashes into an open switch, will place it on exhibition at the Expo. Two-thirds of the train wrecks are caused by a switch being left open. Mr. Smith’s device is said to be a sure thing, invented to prevent train wrecks’ of this kind. It is so constructed that when a train runs into an open switch, at any rate of speed, it will close and lock it. THE MAN WHO WAITS. Daniel said: ‘Blessed is he that wait- eth.”’ Cervantes said: ‘‘Patience, and shuffle the cards.’”’ Sherman said: ‘‘Hold the fort, for I am coming.”’ James R. Keene said: ‘“‘Sit tight and you’ll win out.’ Disraeli said: ‘‘Everything comes if a man will only wait.’’ Longfellow said: ‘‘All things come round to him who will but wait.’”’ Earl Harcourt said: ‘‘Le bon temps vi- endra.’’ ‘‘The good time will come.”’ Micah said: “‘I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.’’ St. Paul said: ‘‘But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait. fori Job said: They waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.’’ Bringing Him Alive. A farmer hired a green Irishman. One of the first tasks assigned the new farm hand was to bring into the cow lot, dead or alive, a refractory bull that had broken into the corn field. The Irishman was given a shotgun and told to shoot the bull if it showed fight. Jauntily he went about his task. The farmer stood ata safe dis- tance to watch developments. As soon as the bull saw the Irishman enter the corn- field, he bolted at him bellowing madly. The Irishman blazed away with the shot- gun and emptied the load in the beast’s breast. On rushed the bull, madder than ever. The Irishman took to his heels, with the bull after him. “What are you doing?’’ screamed the farmer at the fleeing Irishman. “T’m bringing him alive, sor!’’ shouted the Irishman between breaths. —Washing- ton Herald.

Mrs Aurora Grose has returned from the Sunday School convention of the A. M. E. church which met at Portland and reports a most interesting and important session of that body. One of the best sketch teams ever seen in the city is at Pantage's theater this week. It is Samuel Gordon and Miss Emma Chacon late of New York. They are drawing large crowds and are giving entire satisfaction. Mr. and Mrs. Frank T. Anderson's new home will soon be completed. The grounds are beautifully situated overlooking Green Lake. It will be one of the most attractive houses in that section of the city when completed. The Minstrel and ball given by Puget Sound Lodge, 109, I. P. B. O. E. of the world, at Eggan's hall on Monday evening was a grand success. The minstrel was equal to many of the traveling shows. Clarence Estelle, interlocutor, was all that could be desired. Amon Davis was in his usual form in song and dance. Jack Oliver provoked rounds of laughter in songs, imitations and dance. F. R. Brooks was there with jokes and songs. C. C. Hancock, George Sevenson, with solos. The audience gave J. D. Williams a hearty reception when he appeared in a bass solo. The banjo and guitar duet by Prof. Holley and D. B. Washington brought forth rounds of applause and several encores. The entertainment concluded with selections by the Whang-doodle Trio, Brooks, Faulkner and Jones. "We Will Buy up the Niggers." We have it from reliable sources that the administration's plan to secure the colored vote in spite of Brownsville and everything else like it is to "buy up the Niggers." Asked how they expect to keep the colored vote as against Foraker, they replied sotto voice, "We will buy up the Niggers." All this is said behind closed doors, but it is said in the White House. The President is already in the "buying up the Niggers" business with the bait of office. But THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN he and his henchmen are also "practical men." The truth is there is the greatest conspiracy on to attempt to corrupt the colored voters of the country that has ever been known, and Theodore Roosevelt is responsible. Well, they did not succeed very well in "buying up the Niggers" over in Baltimore. That actual proof of the determination of the colored Republicans, for they are all Republicans, even in the South, to retaliate by voting for the nominees of even the Democratic party is one of the best achievements in the history of colored Americans. Perhaps it may change plans at the White House. Colored Americans are going to stand by those soldiers to the end. And every man who accepts these bribe offices is henceforth branded with the mark of Cain.—Guardian. "Royal or Shadowed Love in Kansas" The Oskaloosa Herald had the following advance notice of Miss Durden's effort: "Royal or Shadowed Love in Kansas," is the title of a new play written and dramatized by Miss Gertrude E. Durden, of this city, that will be presented for the first time at the Masonic Opera House in this city next Monday evening. The author is a young colored lady, the daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Durden, who came here from Kansas last summer. Her literary talents are of a high order and she has published several songs and poems that have been well received. This is her first attempt in the dramatic line and is said by those who have read the manuscript to be a production of real merit. It will be presented in five acts and the entire cas e will be composed of colored home talent who have been rehearsing under a competent instructor for several months." SEATTLE THEATRE. Next Sunday will be seen for the first time in this city the new melo drama, 'Queen of the White Slaves,' in six acts and nineteen scenes, from the pen of Arthur J. Lamb. The play has been produced under the direction of A. H. Woods, and is said to be one of the greatest melodramatic productions ever made. The plot of "Queen of the White Slaves" is a novel departure from the hackneyed and time-worn plots of the usual conventional melodrama, and tells a coherent and well-known story. The story relates to the abduction of a beautisul and refined young woman by agents of "The Terrible Nine," a San Francisco branch of the infamous Highbinders, her rescue through the instrumentality of a brave detective, his marveous escapes from a horrible fate, and his rescue by another young woman, who had herself been stolen and taken to China by the same gang. It is a double love story and genuine comedy free from all semblance of horse play. The scenic investiture is something very fine, and no local theater goer can afford to miss the heart stirring scenes of the Chamber of Death, Dead Man's Corridor, and the raft in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
