There is not an important industrial concern in the Northwest but is fighting for the open shop and have either already so declared themselves or are making preparations to do so in the very near future. Is there a real reason for it? You ask. There is no doubt of it. The organized labor trust has gone on from one degree to another, terrorizing the directors of the industrial concerns until it is no longer profitable for them to conduct their business, and they must either get the open shop proposition or close down their business enterprises altogether. No worse calamity at this time could overtake the Northwest than for the wheels of industry to shut down and it should not be done for it will simply mean a return of the days of Gen. Coxey without any reason, justice, cause or excuse. Throughout this section of the country labor is being paid better wages than in any other section of the United States, if not the whole world, and why not let well enough alone. Already the iron industries are in open rebellion with organized labor and a representative from those organizations is now skirmishing in the East with a view of importing workmen to the coast and while he may not be successful in getting all of the help that is wanted out here, yet he will get some, but whether or not he gets a single one the industrial captains do not propose to return to the closed shop even if they have to lay idle for the next two or three years. As in this instance so in every other where large numbers of men are employed, and the day is not far distant when every concern that employs labor will either have the open shop or a shop closed against all workmen, as they will not try to operate their plants with organized labor in control thereof. There are hundreds and thousands of able bodied men in this country who would gladly work in these concerns and give their employers value received for their wages, if they did not fear violence on the part of organized labor. If the industrial captains will but assure such men that they will be protected then they will undertake the job, and the men that are here referred to are none other than the American Negroes, who, in the past, have had the door of hope as well as work closed against them, for no other cause than that their skins are black, and that, too, despite the fact they give satisfaction at whatever --- SEATTLE. WASHINGTON JUNE 7, 1907 they undertake to do in the way of either skilled or unskilled labor. Instead of skirmishing around looking for uncertain help let Mr. Goddard, the representative of the iron workers of the Northwest, who is now in the East looking for help, go directly to the iron fields of the South and interest the colored men of that section in this country and he will return full-handed. The Union Record of this city was much disturbed a few days ago over an article which appeared in this paper advising the open shop and pointing out the fact that colored men placed in the various shops would prove a splendid panacea for strikes, and further pointing out the fact that, the introduction of colored miners in the camps of Roslyn, Franklin and Newcastle some fifteen years ago had prevented any further striking at either one of these camps. The Record denounced the editor hereof and pronounced the colored men slaves, more to be pitied than blamed. It is an undeniable fact that a great many of the Negro miners brought to this country were worthless and they came more for the novelty of the ride than for the work they were expected to do, but many of them were sturdy, hard working men and have made good both as workmen and citizens. Many of them are today heavy taxpayers of the state and have proven to the critics and the world that a man may be a man regardless of the complexion of his skin. There is no doubt but that the presence of Negro laborers in the Northwest would go a long way toward quieting the threatened upheaval between organized labor and industrial concerns. As may be seen from the recent edition of The Seattle Republican the Negroes in the Northwest are not asleep, they own more real estate in proportion to the number of them here and in consideration of the work they get than any other class of working men. It may have looked like a dusty pillow, but it proved to be Tommy Pillow with victory in his hands. Beware of the "one man power" warns Senator Foraker. Does he mean that the voters of the United States should elect two presidents instead of one? The way the president of the A. Y. P. broke ground for the exposition last Saturday would suggest that he is a much hotter article than his name would seem to indicate. Standard oil has been driven out of Texas and its property is to be confiscated by the state. Does that not leave Joe Bailey in rather straightened circumstances from a financial standpoint. Someone well posted in the exposition business, has warned Seattle to get ready for her proposed exposition before shearts it, which is pretty good advice for most everything that one undertakes. Let the open door apply to all the work shops of the Northwest and may they continue so. This country needs help and needs it badly and it means everlasting ruin if it is to be handicapped by the labor union agitators and anarchists. Though 65 years of age the Sultan of Turkey is the alleged father of another child, but the public does not seem quite clear as to who is its mother. How different in this country when often the mother is in doubt as to the offspring's real father. Real estate may be quiet in Seattle just now, but with 12,000 persons coming to Seattle every month with nothing out of the ordinary attracting them here save to live in Seattle, real estate is bound to put on its clothes of activity in the very near future. Are you helping to make Seattle a "city beautiful" by planting flowers and shrubery in your front and back yards as well as in the park strip in front of your lot? If not then you are not working to the end of helping to push your home city to the front. Let's see! It occurs to us that the last Republican city convention of Seattle recommended that the city operate its own asphalt plant. If we are correct then why in the name of holy heaven has there not been some steps taken to have had that plant erected ere this? If the contentions of Rev. Webb, that Jesus Christ was a Negro be true, then when the members of the local committee of the Christian Endeavor Society ask for admittance to the Pearly Gates the Master may remind them of having discriminated against "my people" down in yonder world and then tell them to go where it will not be necessary for them to kindle fires. Jim Agnew takes exception to the Seattle Republican's charge that he, Agnew, was responsible for John Riplinger leaving Seattle. In the light of later developments whether it was Agnew or the other fellow that was responsible for it does not matter, for whoever it was he did the city an everlasting service, for had he gone on with his systematic stealing he would have stolen the entire city if he had gotten four more years at holding the office of city comproller. In reviewing the papers published in Seattle the P. I. said, "The Seattle Republican was a political organ." While the idea the P. I. wished to convey to its readers was false, nevertheless, we might as well take advantage of the opportunity, and announce at this time to the politicians that in the future the Seattle Republican is going to be a pretty darn independent po litical publication. It already has quite a number of pap suckers marked for slaughter in case they ever poke their heads up for public office again, and it does not propose to mince words at exposing them when they get under the limelight. That Mr. Corey and Mr. Gould are having a monkey and a parrot time, goes without saying. "Freedom for women is what the world needs" is a quotation. Perhaps the writer meant to say freedom from women, etc. Former Senator John L. Wilson says, "I want no office," and adds, "Just let me alone," but the heathen do not seem inclined to do it. John Smith writes this office protesting against Socialists and Anarchists being classed as two of a kind. Well, which is the worst, neighbor? Senator Philander C. Knox is nursing a spasmodic presidential boom and a larger Knox hat may have to be ordered, if it lasts a fortnight more. "If women in all matters of dispute are bound to have the last word," pray tell us who had the last word in the late Women's convention at Spokane. "Free speech is not one-half so much needed by the black folk of the South as free actions. Hot air artists are of little or no real good to any community. If San Francisco would sieze and appropriate the million dollar bail money that Mayor Schmitz and his co-criminals have up, she would be but taking her own. Money making instead of marrying seems to be the long suit of the children of the late Jay Gould, although Howard's marriage experience seems to be something of a howling success. Whether the "greatest American" be the Irish American policeman, or the AfroAmerican railroad porter is still an open question and will not be satisfactorily answered for some time yet. The Seattle Republican desires to announce to the legal fraternity of this city and state that it would take it as a personal favor if you would give it either a part or all of your legal publications. Some one will call for the notice if you will ring up Main 305. The sister of United States Senator Isadore Raynor, of Maryland, has been refused accommodations at the leading hotels of Atlantic City, N. J. Senator Raynor we believe took an active part in disfranchising the Negro voters of Maryland because it pleased the Anglo Saxons and in the passage of the 'Jim Crow' Laws of that state. He evidently now realizes what a dirty dose it is for any maw. --- The Passing Throng. Last Saturday was a grand day for Seattle, which was ground breaking day for the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition, which it is planed to hold in this city in 1909. In these later years holding expositions is quite common, so common that some of them planned on a very elaborate scale fall flat as is the Jamestown Exposition in Virginia at this time, but in view of the fact that the exposition planned to be held in this city two years from now is in the main to exhibit the resources of Alaska, which only a few years ago was considered almost an iceberg, should attract a good deal more than the ordinary exposition. Not only will Alaska exhibit seal skins and gold dust, but it will exhibit vegetables and cereals that will make some of the Middle West states hang their heads in shame. The resources of the Northwest are already well exploited having been done so by the Lewis and Clark exposition held at Portland a few years ago, but the resources of Alaska are little if any at all known beyond Seattle and the surrounding Puget Sound country. Now that the grounds for the show have been broken it is up to the Seattle Spirit to push it to completion by being ready for the opening day as on that depends the success of the exposition both financially and otherwise. ** ** Will some one please explain just why one John C. Higgins is taking such keen interest in pushing the disbarment proceedings against those lawyers of this city that have been charged with unprofessional conduct. Is Mr. Higgins being paid by those corporations that have been stuck for large damage suits or is he trying to rid the town of its over supply of attorneys. If it be the latter that he is endeavoring to accomplish then why does he not try to get rid of some of the poor lawyers and then perhaps he would not be prosecuting these cases. That there is a "nigger in the woodpile" somewhere down the line so far as Mr. Higgins is concerned is quite evident or that is the concensus of opinion among the folk in general about the city. Lawyers may be angels, but those persons who have had dealings with them do not think it and the average citizen would just as soon be in the clutches of one lawyer as another for it matters not which one they get in the hands of they always get skined to a final fare-you-well. --- One day this week an automobile with three occupants and a chauffeur became unmanageable and tore down Second Ave. like a house on fire. The chauffeur saw it meant death perhaps to the occupants as well as others if he continued down Second and since the breaks would not work nor could he reverse the machine he turned it down University, where on trying to turn down First it smashed into an obstruction and was dashed to pieces, but before it did this the chauffeur jumped from the flying machine and left his guests to battle for life as best they could. Such a chauffeur should be barred from running ma- chines. All who saw it were very much excited and when it stopped everybody ran to render the occupants any assistance they might need. The last to come up was a policeman, who perhaps had been around the corner asleep for the past hour, and he at once began to show his authority by threatening to arrest the owner of the machine for fast driving, not knowing one thing about what he was talking. No one in the crowd made any reply to him as he stood and continued to "chew the rag." Had that policeman, however, attempted to have arrested the owner of that machine at that time the crowd would have almost torn him to pieces. * * * The Northwest Negro Progress Number is an excellent publication to send away to advertise Seattle and to let the world know what the Negro in these parts is doing for himself and the country. Price 25 cents. * * * The members of the local committee of the Christian Endeavor Society are still silent on why they quartered the trustee board at one of the lodging houses of this city instead of one of the numerous well equipped hotels where all of the trustees would have been accommodated. The whole affair savors of a graft and the Seattle Republican is anxious to learn who is getting the swag. * * * In order that the Christian Endeavor Society as a whole may not be placed in a false light in drawing the color line the actions of the local committee in selecting a lodging house for quartering the members of the trustee board, which refused to accommodate three of the trustees on account of their complexion, when any or all of the hotels where splendid accommodations could have been secured for the entire board stood ready to sign contracts with the committee; therefore; the matter will be taken up with the officials of the Society, right before the world, by passing resolutions denouncing the actions of the local committee and blacklisting the Blackwell lodging house. Portland Cement Company. Surprising is the extent to which cement has been applied, of late years, to building, and one might never guess how much of it is used but for such strong reminder as The Colorado Portland Cement Company has just published in Denver. It is a paper covered booklet filled with pictures of the most beautiful buildings in Denver-hotels, the new library, churches, business blocks, the new court house, the state capitol-in short, all the fine buildings of the city, in or about the construction of which the Ideal Colorado Cement and Ideal Colorado Plaster have been used. It is an attractive pamphlet, well printed, and contains an interesting collection of photogravures of local architecture. Seattle has a Portland Cement Company located in Skagit county, which promisses to be to Seattle what the above company is to Denver, Colorado. OUR SPECIAL! What Negroes are Doing in the Great Northwest. [SEATTLE DAILY NEWS] The Seattle Republican, a weekly paper of this city, published in the interests of the Negro race, has just issued an Anniversary and Negro Progress Number that is one of the most creditable special editions ever gotten out by any publication in the Northwest. Typographically it is the perfection of the printer's art and it is profusely illustrated with half tones. As it was designed to illustrate the progress of the colored man in the Northwest it devotes much attention to this subject. The News must confess its surprise at the large number of colored men engaged in farming and in business and professional pursuits in the state of Washington. The Republican prints the portraits of a number of the colored men and women in business in this state and it is but just to say they are a credit to the state and to the communities in which they reside. There are several farming communities in which the Negro farmers are among the most progressive and enterprising citizens. Particularly is this so in the Sunnyside district in Yakima county, in the district about Chehalis in Lewis county, and in the Kennydale district in King county. The Sunnyside district was settled by several Negro families when there was nothing but sage brush in sight and before irrigation had been attempted. Now there are a number of Negro farmers there owning from 20 to 200 acres each of the best farming land. A. H. Hawkins, one of the first settlers, owns a 40 acre hop farm and a homestead of 160 acres. His home is one of the best two-story residences in the valley and shows what the industrious intelligent Negro is doing in the state. In this city, exclusive of Ballard, is given the names of 146 property owners each owning homes and other property of a value of from $1,000 to $30,000. Similar lists of home owners in Tacoma, Everett and some of the other towns of the state are given. It is a most striking issue of a paper showing the progress and material advancement of the colored people in the Northwest. It contains a vast fund of information about the colored people that will be as surprising to the general reader as it was to the editor of The News. The News would commend a careful reading of this anniversary number of the Seattle Republican to the management of the Lincoln hotel and to the local membership of the Christian Endeavor convention. If they would read it carefully it might help to remove the rabies of colorphobia from which they are suffering. Editor Cayton has performed a splendid work for his people in getting up such an edition of his paper and The News congratulates him for it. The Seattle Republican,leading Negro THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN publication of the Northwest, issued a special three color edition on Saturday, handsomely put together, excellently printed, and withal a great credit to the publishers. The general tone of the edition, which is in the nature of an annual number, is highly favorable to the opportunities for the Negro in the Northwest, where very little racial prejudice exists. The Republican itself is a fair sample of the success which Negro enterprises have enjoyed here. Its big edition contains many pictures of successful Negroes in all walks of life, and their handsome homes. REPUBLICAN NEGRO PROGRESS NUMBER [POST INTELLIGENCER] The Northwest Negro Progress Number of the Seattle Republican is an issue in which special attention has been devoted to the typographical finish of the paper. It contains seventy-eight pages and is richly illustrated in a manner of special interest to the colored race. In half-tones some of the most prominent colored people of the Pacific Northwest are shown, together with views of their homes. One page is devoted to the children. The issue also contains considerable information and data of general interest, together with pictures of state officials. The number contains a liberal amount of advertising. [OREGONIAN] A Northwest Negro Progress Number of the Seattle Republican to mark the fourteenth anniversary presents a prosperous appearance both in reading matter and illustrations. Sketches are given of colored brethren who have made their influence felt for good in Seattle. The number is creditable to Editor Cayton. [Walia Walla Bulletin] The "Northwest Negro Progress Number," of the Seattle Republican is an example of what Negroes can and do, do. The publication is edited by a Negro and this special number deals almost entirely with what this race has done and is doing in Washington. Some remarkable figures are shown regarding the progress of this misunderstood race. For instance there are about 700 Negroes residents in King county and they own real estate conservatively estimated to be worth $600,000. Other examples of thrift and industry are shown. The magazine is a credit to any city and the management of the Republican is to be congratulated for the excellent work done in issuing the special edition.

Concrete instances of individual achievement often throw more light on the avenues of human progress than statistical tables. Whether the Negroes of America are moving upward in civilization or not is sometimes discussed with reference to the birth-rate, the amount of property held by the colored people in the aggregate, to the proportion of the illiterates in the population and the like. The National Negro Business League approaches the subject of Negro advancement from another point of view. It undertakes to bring together those colored men and women who have succeeded materially in some occupation, to bring before the race at large the narrative of their successes and stimulate others by their example. Agitation against wrongs and injustice and for better conditions it leaves to other agencies; it directs its attention exclusively to the record of progress that has been made in spite of obstacles and under existing conditions. It has therefore within itself the power which is created by the sense of achievement. Its meetings never take the form of combative discussion, but rather of instructive suggestion. In the years in which it has existed there has not been even a single parliamentary wrangle. It is not to be inferred, however, that all the speakers assumed that every problem connected with the material advancement of the Negro, and with his economic relation to other Americans was solved. Happily the way out which Dr. Washington indicates is comparatively unobstructed. Fertile land in the South is waiting cultivation. Opposition is not directed against Negro land owners as it is against Negro laborers. The colored man who wishes to buy a farm can have his wish gratified, if he has the money to buy it with; and if he has not the money; he can borrow it on terms which other men enjoy. No one objects to purchasing the products of Negro agricultural labor. Here is the opportunity which stands, as it were, imploring Negroes to use it. The story of one Negro farmer in Arkansas, which was unfortunately cut short by lack of time, is the sort of story that could be told of any other colored man who would use the same foresight. The colored man had several thousand acres. He told with some detail as to figures the exact profits which he had from his land, and estimated out of his own experience how a man with industry could, by borrowing money, own his farm in five years and be free of debt. This gospel of agricultural success ought to be preached to Negroes throughout the whole South. Together with this gospel, however, needs to be announced also the warning that a day of judgment is at hand. If white immigration turns Southward, the land which is there now so cheap will rise in price and be less easily obtainable. If the Negroes fail to possess it, Italians, Hungarians, and other ailens may occupy it. Those who are concerned for the future of the Negro race in this country ought to urge upon the colored people immediate action in getting possession of ad- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN equate farm land. The men who compose the National Negro Business League are undoubtedly exceptional, as all really successful people are. The great service that the League can render does not lie in the exaltation of any particular class of Negroes, but rather in pointing to the great mass of Negroes the way toward attaining the same kind of success that their fellows have won. The words which are spoken at the meetings of the League reach comparatively few of the nine or ten millions of colored people in the United States, but they will bring real prosperity to the race as a whole if the few who hear these words will carry the message to the regions where they dwell and reiterate it there.—The Outlook, N. Y. The Vagabond. Freedom for woman is what the world needs, Freedom from Fetters that bind her to creeds; Freedom from fashion, from folly, from fear, And to know that whereever she is, is her sphere. She must lead, she must lead, she has loitered too long, The angels have waited too see her grow strong. Now the strength that she lacked, the freedom she craved, Shall be given in full, the race must be saved. Oh, woman! awake to a sense of your power; Oh, woman, arise to the needs of the hour. Move steadily onward, the future is yours; The spirit forever, and ever endures. With wisdom and love her scepter she wields, As she bravely moves on over untrodden fields. Before her advance Rebellion shall cease, And nations unite in friendship and peace. The prophets declare it, the last shall be first, In the long reign of man has the earth been accursed But love conquers all, and woman shall prove The earth is redeemed by God-given Love. —BELLE TAYLOR, In The Woman's Tribune.

Allen, financial agent of the Western University at Quindaro, Kansas, and superintendent of the Douglas Hospital Association, at Kansas City, Kansas, was a visitor at the parsonage of the A. M. E. church of this city for a couple of days this week. Mr. W. T. Andrews, of Sumter, S. C., lectured at Lee's Chapel last Monday evening to an audience comfortably filling the house. Mr. Andrews depicted a deplorable condition as to the recognized rights of the Negro in the South, but thought it not near so bad as it might be and even thought that a brighter day was coming. He himself was in business at Sumter and reports himself as doing well as are hundreds of other Negroes. He left for California last Tuesday. --- Concurrent with the issuing of the special edition of the Northwest Negro Progress Number of the Seattle Republican, was a splendid addition to the home of the editor and the associate in the shape of a bouncing baby boy, which put in his appearance last Wednesday evening, June 5th. Between the successful edition and the squawking addition a 3-size larger hat than usual has been ordered for the editor, papa and husband. JONES-AGEE NUPTIALS The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. A. Agee on 21st avenue, was gay with flowers and decorations on Wednesday evening, the occasion being the wedding of their eldest daughter. The happy couple were Mr. Rudolph Jones and Miss Olie Agee. Mr. Clarence Jones, brother of the groom, was the best man, and Miss Helen Agee, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid. Rev. E. Mathews officiated. A large number of friends were present, and with good wishes and showers of rice and flowers started the happy couple on the voyage of life together. Both of the contracting parties are well known among the younger set in the city and were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents. Club Formed. A number of young people met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Clark, No. 111 25th Ave. N., on Wednesday evening and organized a literary and musical club. The club will be known as the Lotus Musical and Literary Club. Mr. John Fort was elected president. The object of the club is a worthy one since it is for the improvement of the members and the entertainment of their friends. There is need for both of these objects and it is to be hoped that the club will be enthusiastically supported by the members.

SEATTLE THEATRE. | ie production, and the mos “Queen of the White Slaves,’ the play that the Burgess company is pre- senting at the Seattle Theater this week, is, without doubt, the most pre- tentious and elaborate scenic produc- tion of a melo drama ever witnessed in Seattle by theater-goers. There are sixteen scenes in the f ur acts of the play, and they are all a: propriate to the action. This is a revelation to people who closely follow things theatrical. The large and commodious stage at the Seattle Theater is the only one in the city that will admit of such productions. The Burgess company fulfilled every promise made by the management and is easily the strongest and best balanc- ed stock company that has ever appear- ed here up to date. Blanche Bryan is a clever actress, possessing a personal magnetism and talents to spare. Before the season is far advanced she will become without doubt, the most popular leading lady we have yet ‘entertained within our gates.’’ Roy Applegate, the leading man, is already a favorite with the la- dies, and his every entrance has been applauded all week. There are so many clever people in the Burgess Company that it would take several weeks to properly introduce them to the Seattle Theater’s extensive clien- tele. Katharene Berry is a splendid heavy woman. T. B. Alexander a pol- ished and vilianous villian. Morrie Streeter and Harry J. Bussell, are both A No. 1 commedians. Mabel Hor- thorne receives unstinted applause as “Queen of the White Slaves.” The play begins in San Francisco and ends ina Chinese harem. You will have to see it; it is indescribable. The play will run all week. Next week, commencing Sunday, for their second week, the Burgess compa- ny will present ‘‘Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model,”’ another ponderous scen- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ie production, and the most up-to-date play of its kind in existence. Life in the big City of New York is clearly defined in the latest Earl Bur- gess Co. melodramatic success, “Nel- lie, the Beautiful Cloak Model,’’? which will be seen at the Seattle Theater for the first time next Sunday and continue all week. 1t contains fifteen consistent and realistic scenes and has four acts of thrilling and absorbing interest. A first-class company has been engaged, including some of the best specialty ar- tists on the vaudeville stage. The usu- al matinees will be given on Thursday and Friday. PERSONAL.
