Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XIIINO. 50 SEATTLE REPUBLICAN H. R. Cayton ..... or and Publisher Susie Revels Cayton ..... Associate One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .60 Entered at the Postoffice at Sea e, as Second Class Mail Matter, Seattle already noted for its many banks is to have Fairbanks next month, who has presidential capital stock of no mean pro- portion in his vaults. Emma Goldman, the notorious female anarchist, seems after all more crazy than criminal and it would be humane to lock her up in some insane asylum. Aberdeen this state ought to be in line for a boom as the bodies of some fourteen persons have been fished out of the river there within the past month. If John D. Rockefeller does not die right soon he will live to see himself branded a character no less notorious than the Jesse James gang of the great Civil War days. Unless the mysterious Mister Raffles mystyfies a judge and jury, the Times Publishing company is going to get stuck in one or two heavy damage suits for fraud. Just the idea of teaching the sciences in China strikes the leading celestial as being sufficiently sacrilegious to arouse all the dragons of the lower regions to come forward and rebel. In the financial failure of the Jamestown exposition it is but another demonstration of the inability of the Southern white man to successfully do anything but raise hell among the Negroes. One of the visiting members of the Congressional committee that recently visited the Hawaiian Islands says, "the Islands need Yankee energy." That is to drive the natives into the ocean we surmise. Who and what the white man of this country will not hook up with if there is only money in it may be seen in a body of young white men of North Carolina rushing to get Indian wives because they have valuable homesteads. "Money" may not "make the man" a man, but it makes him a gentleman in the eyes of our latter day civilization, which is producing in the United States a race whose motto is, "Get money; if you can't get money honest—get money." ```markdown ``` SEATTLE, WASHINGTON JUNE 14, 1907 And now comes the Skagit News-Herald with a proposition to organize the native sons of the state with a view of entertaining the expected visitors of 1909. Its not a bad idea, neighbor, and we rather hope it will not die a bornin'. Josiah Collins married in London the other day and someone has been mean enough to say, it was due to the fact that he had not lived in London as long as he had in Seattle. In other words, the ladies of Seattle were better acquainted with Joe. 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. No part or section of the state of Washington is more prosperous than the southwest and these facts have been well brought out by a special edition of the Washingtonian of Hoquiam, known as the Development Edition of Gray's Harbor. Editor Moore is well and favorably known in Seattle. Either Mayor Moore, of Seattle, or M. M. Godman would prove a strong candidate for governor on the Democratic ticket. Both are men of ability, courage and integrity, who have proven themselves worthy of the trust the people have imposed in them.—Colfax commoner. Or any other old Democrat, since there is no show for them. The unrest throughout the Japanese country due to a desire to measure arms with the United States is so common that to the student of history a bloody war between the two countries sooner or later is quite evident. Uncle Sam having always held his own in similar meets the Mikado dragon will be cheerfully accommodated at any time it desires to get busy. If Bunce's story told on the witness stand as to his reason for smuggling opium into the country be correct, then those officials tolerating it should likewise be put on trial. To become a criminal in order to catch a criminal is to say the least a form of depravity too low, mean and despicable for the perpetrator to be allowed to run at large among his fellow citizens. We suggest to the local committee of the Christian Endeavor Society that it prepare suitable and appropriate resolutions to be adopted by the Society while in session next month in this city, appealing to the Almighty that heaven have a Jim Crow apartment for the "brother in black," or they will absolutely refuse to favor Him with their presence when they shuffle off this mortal coil. PRICE TEN CENTS. We Told You So. This phrase is generally used in a taunting way, but the Forum has no such object in mind when we use it as a caption. We have said that Pierce county was in danger of losing the Soldier's Home at Orting, for the reason that the branch site recently selected will ultimately be the home proper. The site selected at Port Orchard, which is in Kitsap county, is a victory for Seattle, for the mosquito fleet that plys between those places gives the queen city the major portion of the business. No effort was made by this county to save the Orting institution for Pierce. The truth is that one of the senators from this county connived at its removal. It may be good business policy to drive state institutions nearer to a rival city, but we fail to see the wisdom of such a move.—Tacoma Forum. Keep cool and "Watch Tacoma Grow." Major O. A. Case does not take well to the suggestion that the courthouse have a new deal from cellar to garret, but it will get it the major to the contrary notwithstanding. In future the people will have something to say about who the superior court judges will be, which means that some of those who now occupy that rather exalted honor are going to go down and out. The next county auditor should not be dependent on an army of clerks and a courthouse ring for his nomination, and if the nominee is one of the present clerks in that office then there is going to be something doing among the voters. Pete Smith says, "I want no political preferment, but I do want Republican harmony, and I would a thousand times over rather see a John L. Wilson Republican holding an office than a Democrat." Pete talks just like a good Republican and the lecture is recommended to Jim Agnew. Dr. John L. Neagle, the well known Fourth ward politician and assistant secretary of the state Republican central committee, is out in an open letter advocating Republican harmony and suggesting a long list of names as suitable timber for mayor. Among the many names was that of J. D. Lowman, who the Pie-maker truly believes would make the city of Seattle an ideal mayor and he further hopes that Mr. Lowman will consent to make the race. Church Benefits Mankind The church tends to lift men up and give them material prosperity. The morality inculcated by the pulpit puts men in the way of business success. Rev. B. B. Tyler, Disciple. Denver, Colo. % CHRISTIANS AND CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS < [ BY MISS CORA OLIVER. | Be TY ene eae Le een as CE know their instincts and distincts,’’? now that some of them have shown the instinct of resenting insult, and. have passed reso- lutions condemning the questionable ac- tions of some representatives of a christian body, this christian head of a prominent church of this city has most arrogantly said, at the suggestion of someone to con- sider the matter for the accommodation for the Afro-American trustees, at the meet- ing of the general committee, that the matter had been settled; and this state- ment by the reverend gentleman, most emphatically made, prevented any further reference to the subject. Is Rev. Mathews the whole show? Are the other members of the committee of such slight individu- ality that he can use such arbitrary meas- ures with them? Of course the incident is closed as far as the Negroes are concerned. They could only denounce the action of the keepers of the hotel and the acquiesence of the Christian Endeavor committee. Such a glaring insult and un-christian stand without merited criticism and censure. And the christian members of the Chris- tian Endeavor Society, (if there be any in this city), as well as the christian people of this city in general, and the best people outside of the church, who it has been said do not believe in this race prejudice—if these citizens of Seattle are pleased to have such an ugly blot of snobbish insult to in- vited guests, as well as the un-christian at- titude toward them, go without proper amends, why then the shame be upon them; but let it be remembered the Rev. Mathews has disproved himself, for he knows no more of the ‘‘instincts and distincts’’ of the Negroes as a race, than he does of the principles of the Christian religion from a personal experience. His sermons are mere words arranged to sound well. If he had put his preaching of the ‘“‘Man with an ox and an ax’”’ in practice, his behavior in this matter would have been as he says Christ intended that of Christians to be; and he would have been more concerned about the feelings of others than his own. He says in this sermon referred to, ‘““Moses wrote the first liability act * * * He recog- nized the fact that every man is in posses- sion of something needing protection; that no man should be subjected to another man’s carelessness, negligence, or wilful and malicious intentions.’”” We might say here that the three Afro-American trustees have been subjected to insult because of the malicious prejudice of someone, and unless Rev. Mathew’s sermon has found fertile ground in some of his followers’ hearts, the insult will be sustained by the negligence of others to do their christian duty. Reverend Mathews must have for- gotten this point in his sermon when he so peremptory dismissed the subject that some action be taken relative to the ques- tion of accommodation for the Afro-Amer- iean trustees. Rev. Mathews further says THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN been improved upon, and today we rest our claims of carelessness, negligence and malicious intent unon the same principles announced by him,’’ ete. We would call the attention of that committee to this in- consistency of the Reverends preaching and practicing. The sermon has this para- graph also: ‘‘Now we have before us two illustrations and two great principles. The illustrations are the man with an ox to pro- tect and an ax to sharpen. The two great principles involved are those of the liability act and the destructiveness of sin. Let us study these two illustrations as they affect our lives.’’ It seems to me that this is very plain talk; not difficult of understand- ing and very applicable to the case in hand. This Christian Endeavor committee had need to do their full duty to their neighbor Afro-American trustees if they would es- cape the sin of carelessness regarding the feelings of others, which is so apparent not only to the Christian but also to the sinner, who is looking upon every act of a class of people who are ever admonishing them to live a life consistent with the Christian faith. Is this one of the times when we can say “‘hypocrite, first cast the beam out of thine own eye.”’ In connection with the past paragraph read another of the Reverends: ‘‘Will men never learn that selfishness is the curse of all progress and the source of all sorrow and misery?’’ How could the Rev. Mathews lose sight of this truth when the matter for the accommedation for his Afro-American brethren was in discussion? And how can the Christian Endeavor Com- mittee overlook it, now that their Rever- end leader has made it a part of a sermon delivered to them, and admonishing them to “‘live lives of absolute righteousness, in order to discharge their full duty to their neighbors.’’ The Reverend says that ‘‘the motive of selfishness is the controlling mo- tive’’ and even creeps into the circles of religion.’’ This we have seen. ‘“Menuse the church to sharpen their axes, to hide their infamies and‘make more serviceable and remunerative their schemes for finan- cial gain.’’ Does this explain the Rever- end’s position? Since he has shown no spirit of living up to his preaching, are we wrong in questioning the motives which actuate him in following the ministry? This sermon which seems. to have been written at this time, to bring to the public attention the inconsistencies in the living and advising how to live, of a minister of one of the most prominent churches of the city, ends with the following paragraph: “Christ came to save and to enable men to live the life of disinteersted love. He makes the one who follows him as careful of another’s property as he is of his own. He destroys every element of selfishness and prevents men from using their neigh- bors for their own aggrandizement. He sharpens the implements of conscience, and thereby prevents men from becoming the slaves of sin or the subjects of Satan. No Christian ever goes into the enemy’s camp to sharpen his ax nor does he demand of the whole world protection for his ox. “On the other hand the true Christian is willing to sacrifice his ox to feed and comfort his neighbor; and he never per- mits sin to dull the implements of right- eous welfare or the tools of Christian agri- culture.’ I would ask is the action of Reverend Mathews in the matter in question, com- patible with this sermon of his? We are satisfied that the three trustees referred to will come to the convention and conduct themselves as Christian gentlemen, will exercise all Christian charity toward the people with whom they come in con- tact, and in every way acquit themselves in a manner becoming the Christian, schol- arly gentlemen that they are. They have been appointed on the program of speak- ers; are men capable of filling the position - with honor; to suffer such discourtesy as has been offered them, without their Chris- tian brethren seeing that adequate amends be made? Wake up ye followers of Christ Secretary Shaw Writes. Speaking about the Christian Endeavor Society embroglio, which is due to either wilful blunders of the local committee. General Secretary Shaw of the Society writes that he knows nothing as to the why’s or wherefore’s of the selection of the Hotel Lincoln for the quartering of the rustee board. He contends it the work of the local committee, who must be held responsible. Despite this, Geo. A. Virtue has repeatedly said, ‘‘The Lincoln hotel was selected because Secretary Shaw pre- ferred it over the other hotels.’? That there is something rotten in Denmark, or in other words, ‘‘a nigger in the wood pile’ is quite evident. Who got the swag? is what we desire to discover. 5 * * * Not Bishop Walters. The stand taken by the colored folk of Seattle has met with the favor of the col- ored trustees as may be seen from the fol- lowing letier: Jersey City, N. J., June 4, 1907. Mr. I. ISRAEL WALKER, Seattle, Wash. My Dear Sir: Your communication of May 20th to hand and its contents carefully considered. Several persons had already written me concerning the matter, besides I had heard from Mr. Shaw, the secretary of C. E. rel- ative to the matter. I assure you that I am in sympathy and complete harmony with the attitude taken by the colored citizens of your city, and have so written the secretary, notifying him that in accord with the request of cit- izens of Seattle, I shall not attend the meeting. I have also written to Bishop Lee in- forming him of my intention in the matter. Very truly yours, A. WALTERS. The hotels of this city would have en- tertained the trustee board in its entirety and yet the local committee saw fit to quar- ter the board at a lodging house instead of a hotel. Drawing the Color Line. Certain Seattle hotel keepers have exhibited a rather mean spirit in refusing hospitality to the three colored trustees of the National Endeavor convention, soon to assemble in that city. These men, although of colored skin, rank high in that organization, and have done much to extend its field of usefulness. It is pretty safe to assume that had such a disposition been shown when Seattle was bidding for the convention, that city would have stood a good chance of being passed up. We have not, as yet, observed any sign of remonstrance against this raising of the color line on the part of that great exponent of human liberty, the Post-Intelligencer, which is usually quick to denounce and criticise such un-christian conduct when displayed in other communities, particularly in the South. Why this painful silence on the part of the great luminary? Is it because the obnoxious color line in this instance is a local affair? However, it is not so regarded by the Negro papers of the country.—Yakima Democrat. Remember, neighbor, the editor of the P. I. spent many years in the South, though born in the North. He married a Southern woman, who perhaps still has the "black mammy" taste in her mouth. These things may to some extent explain the P. I.'s attitude. Under Editor Braynard the P. I. has been quite liberal in its criticisms of the actions of the Southern white folk toward the black folk of that section. A REGIMENT OF AXIOMS. (BY COLONEL BATTLEAX.) (COPYRIGHTED.) FIRST BATTALION. COMPANY A. SCOUTS. Danger lies in excess. The hearts of the envious are small. Deceit is a vice practiced by the weak. The footsteps of the sneak light softly. Falsehood fights with poisoned weapons. It is foolish to stir up unnecessary strife. Satan persecutes his deserters relentlessly. Independence is not the best thing for some. Be careiul to whom you give your confidence. This is a world of restrictions and limitations. The hearts of the avaricious are proud and cold. A good action cannot emanate from an evil source. If you are all things to all men, you count on no side. With freedom of action comes greater responsibility. Seek the cause rather than fix your eyes on the effect. You know not any man until you know him thoroughly. Ignorance, though a stubborn foe, is worthless as an ally. Some have short cuts to attainment, but of such beware. Fear no man, but beware of the devil who can utilize him. A treacherous foe is not so despicable as a treach erous friend. The agent of evil can slander, when he is otherwise helpless. Courtesy is sometimes mistaken as weakness by the ignorant. ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A man unconsciously reveals himself in many different ways. He who has his eyes fixed only on material gain, counts for little. There is ground for suspicion when appearances are too promising. Naturally the more enlightened are the first to awaken to truth. The back door of appearances is usually less inviting than the front. A man who lives to himself alone, will never command a wide influence. If you give a man free scope, he will reveal his character more readily. We cannot always choose our acquaintances, but we can select our friends. Keen competition forces some to the treadmill and others to the highway. When men have crooked schemes afoot, they want not honest folks around. First take the larger view of the situation, and enter into details afterwards. If a man shows no active interest, his approval or disapproval counts for little. Those who make sacrifices for the sake of peace often fail to attain their object. The reason the devil does not tempt some people: they are not worth while—they are his anyway. Sad to say, there are numerous devices to entrap the young and unwary, undreampt of by many parents. By a skillful, sympathetic and intelligent use of the art of cross-examination, one can extract much truth from his fellow-sufferers. The drunkard may excite your pity; the avaricious your contempt; but the envious are to be feared by those who know not how to handle them. Men are similar in many respects, but with these main differences: some are engaged on the side of right; some on the side of wrong—while others do not know exactly where they stand. COMPANY B. SKIRMISHERS. A quick wit will repair many a breach. Before deciding, take time to deliberate. Strike with some effect, or strike not at all. While in the world avoid its entanglements. Suspect that man who advertises his charity. If you force matters, beware of the rebound. We listen, are moved; but pass on and forget. Attack an evil ineffectually, and you will live to rue it. Your enemy will seek to draw you to either extreme. Men prefer to be free agents rather than automatons. Let not the tempter insult your manhood or womanhood. It is easy to give good advice, but sometimes hard to follow it. When you give the message, let it be clear and unmistakable. Be strong and always on your guard, for the enemy is watchful. The sense of fear drives many to rash and unworthy actions. A friendly rivalry is stimulating; a hostile competition is deadly. Prosperity attracts to us all kinds of false friends and insidious foes. Let a man be friends again with his enemies, but not with the unworthy. Falsehood is a good skirmisher: it can crouch, lie flat and even burrow. Do not quote partially from a high authority, in order to win your case. Indifference is the unyielding earthen breastwork that a stubborn foe erects. True high attainment necessitates much self-denial and even self sacrifice. If a correct theory does not work, then it is because of unfavorable conditions. The more we do in a rational and systematic manner, the more we can accomplish. Satan always applies to an unworthy action a term that is vague and misleading. When the message comes through many channels, it will be confusing; so get it direct. If you pursue a fad too zealously, it may lead you from the main trail into the thicket. Separated, they can overcome you one by one; united, they must engage you as a body. Fight cunning with its own weapons and not by brute force, unless you aim to annihilate it. Be careful of your words and actions, for the malicious are ever ready to misconstrue them. Falsehood, when hard pressed, can beat a masterly retreat; for it is well practiced in the art. You are laboring under a great disadvantage, if you are fighting in the open with your enemy under cover. When you have carriod your point, enough! All further speech and action regarding it are superfluous. We are inclined to worry, when we realize that we are at the end of our resources; but it is wiser to trust Providence. Obstacles placed in our way may work to our advantage, although those who place them there may not have that end in view. If you have common sense you will learn early to confine your topics to common subjects, when in intercourse with common minds. The devil is engaged in a desperate losing warfare, and is no inferior antagonist; but this cannot be said of his tools, who are only worthy of contempt. If you are not aware of the existence of an evil intelligence, undertake some line of good, useful and unselfish work, after which you will be fully convinced.

It is being claimed that an effort will be made to control the delegates from this state to the next National Republican con- vention in the interests of Vice-President Charles W. Fairbanks and that the Indiana contingencies in this state are already act- ive in seeing that a Fairbanks delegation is selected. As between Fairbanks and Taft for president the ‘Seattle Republi- can has little or no choice; however if Taft is nominated and Bryan is nominated by the Democrats, then the Pie-maker predicts Bryan will be the next president of the United States. Bryan would give Fair- banks a hard fight, but he would go through the Taft baloon like a streak of lightning. In Taft the country is getting too much of the same medicine and it wants a change. * * * The first gun in the Ankeny campaign will be fired early in next month when the fight for mayorship of Walla Walla will be pulled off. Already the Boxers are out with a candidate in opposition to the Crock- er machine candidate. The Boxers won in a similar contest one year ago, and they believe their chances to win are ten to one better this year than a year ago. If Sena- tor Ankeny loses this fight then the pow- ers that be in his machine will begin to cast about fora new line up as Senator Ankeny will withdraw from the Senatorial ** # race to succeed himself. Already strong influential friends are at work on Senator Ankeny to withdraw from the contest even before the Walla Walla mayorality battle is pulled off and if he has any regard for his friends he will do so for his continuing in the fight will mean both his defeat as well as that of Senator Piles. * * * With Senator Ankeny out of the fight Representative W. C. Jones has more or less clear sailing, as R. L. McCormick does not seem to show any activity, which is be- ing interpreted in political circles that, he will not even allow the use of his name in that connection. Tacoma wants a Senator but whether or not she will push a candi- date next year, is at this writing proble- matical. The Perkins’ Press is not favora- ble to McCormick, and the public is not fa- vorable to Chester Thorn, the man Sammy Perkins would like to send to the United States Senate. QUR SPECIAL! What Negroes are Doing in the Great Northwest. . The Northwest Negro Progress Number of the Seattle Republican is a special num- ber in magazine form that does great credit to Editor H. R. Cayton. The color line question in connection with the C. E. con- vention is discussed, and many other en- tertaining articles are given. This num- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ber also celebrates the 14th anniversary of the Republican, which has always been a lively publication, particularly for politic- sans.—Trade Register. Referring to the Northwest Negro Progress Number Attorney General John D. Atkinson, of Olympia, writes: ‘“The edition is a fine piece of art in publication, and I am inclined to think it the best you have ever put out. All features of it are interesting to the whole people of this state, and it is certainly a fine presentation of the excellent progress, intelligence, in- dustry and good citizenship of our very worthy colored people of this state. ‘The anniversary number and the Prog- ress Number of the Seattle Republican came to this office at the hands of the edi- tor, and the same was presented to us with the compliments of the editor. On the whole this is a very handsome number and is truly a credit to the management, being broad and comprehensive and full to the brim with information of the valuable kind. It is worthy the consideration of all and should be carefully read by all. It surely shows without exageration the true prog- ress of the Colored Americans of the Norh- west. —Seattle Searchlight. Mr. Cayton of the Seattle Republican is to be congratulated for the ‘‘Progress’’ number of his paper. He covers a difficult field mest successfully. The number is a very fine specimen of typographical work and the information he gives about the colored people of the Northwest is most in- teresting. The Seattle Republican is a power among the colored people of the Northwest and its editorial columns are al- ways full of live and current comment. All in all the number is one of the best spec- ials on the reviewing desk this week.— Catholic Progress. OFFICE of the Forum, TacomAé, WN. Mr. H. R. Cayton, Seattle Republican: Enclosed find check for Mrs. Ryan and self, and permit us to congratulate you upon issuing a work that will serve as a reminder to those who have treated the progress of the Negro lightly. The typog- raphy of your recent annual is par excel- lent; the arrangement of the same, the work of anartist. The Republican has ad- ded another laurel to its wreath and has performed a great service to its large con- stituency. It is our profound wish that you may go on to greater things. Yours, J. H. and ELLA RYAN. The Seattle Republican’s Northwest Negro Progress Number is a creditable effort. Editor Cayton deserves unstinted praise for his enterprise and zeal in his ef- forts to bring to the front the progress of Afro-American business enterprises in that locality. The capabilities of the race are exemplified and at the same time opportu- nities are provided for you to bring to- gether in collective form information of value and interest to the general public. The Advocate congratulates our worthy contemporary, and wishes it continued suc- cess, which it so well deserves.—Portland Advocate. The Northwest Negro Progress Number of the Seattle Republican of the Se- attle Republican was issued this week. It isa handsome illustrated publication, in magazine form, and replete with informa- tion relative to the advancement of the colored race in the Northwest. A couple of pages are devoted to the Sunnyside Ne- gro, with half-tone pictures of J. L. Be- dell, Mr. and Mrs. Oley Washington, Rich- ard Payne, and Mr. and Mrs. A. Hawkins. Pictures of the Hawkins residence and hop house and the district school house are also given. The number isinteresting through- out, and well worth perusal of both white and black citizens.

A splendid panoramic view of this ideal hostely and its immediate surroundings is one of the scenic beauties of the Earl Bur,ess Co.,'Chinatown Charlie,' the melodramatic thriller, that is announced as the attraction next week, opening with a Sunday matinee. SEATTLE THEATRE. At the Seattle Theater, commencing Sunday afternoon, the Earl Burgess Company enter upon the third week of what is an assured successful summer season, with a big production of the New York scenic play, 'Chinatown Charlie.' This is another of A. H. Woods' famous melodramas; it has no fewer than seventeen scenes, and the most thrilling development; the plot reaks with sensation, and it is different from anything ever seen here. Let it be remembered that the scenes are laid in New York, not San Francisco. That the Earl Burgess Co. will give a splendid presentation is an assured fact, from the abilities they have displayed in the "Queen of the White Slaves" and this week's play, "Nellie, the Beautiful Cloak Model."
