Two Seattle undertakers engaged in a fight for the possession of a corpse. This is again the Seattle spirit exemplified.—Tacoma Forum. Japan may be crazy, but she ain't no fool, and Uncle Sam will find that out some day; yes, some sweet day. Fairbanks may not be a presidential favorite in the State of Washington, but if Blethen is to oppose him, then Fairbanks is a cocksure winner. Money matters are said to be tightening up every day. Evidently Wall Street has taken umbrage at something that Roosevelt has done against its vested rights. The pipe of peace is being hit hard over at The Hague, and the boys are keeping their razors on their inside pockets. Nevertheless, if anybody goes to getting funny there will be something doing. Secretary Taft wants a larger army for Uncle Sam. Is the secretary of war making preparations to fight his way to the White House backed by the standing army? It looks that way. Local Japanese are said to be much interested in the Northwest Negro Progress Number recently issued by The Seattle Republican. Even the Japs know a good thing when they see it. Rooseveltism, it is claimed, has already bursted the Foraker presidential boom in Ohio. He who laughs last some times laughs best, and Brer Taft had better not laugh too bland and childlike so soon. Retarding the work of regrading the Denny hill and thereby tieing up millions of dollars because some property owner had to pay two bits more than the other fellow, is penuy wise and pound foolish. Bunce himself admitted that he smuggled opium into the country, but the jury failed SEATTLE, WASHINGTON JUNE 21, 1907 to impugn any selfish motives in his so doing. Well, what did he do with the opium after smuggling it into the country? Mayor Schmitz has been found guilty of extortion by a jury of his peers. Evidently the jurymen were "scabs," as Schmitz wears the union label. Now with Rueff and Schmitz both in prison together, they will have ample time to talk it all over. Harry Orchard says he "owed it to God" to make a clean confession of his dastardly crimes. What he really owed to God was a clean life; he did not settle that account, and it's very doubtful if God will accept pay for the life he has lived. "Rev." Matthews thinks marriages are not legal that are not performed by a preacher. If his contention be true, then there are a great many couples living as man and wife who have no right to do so, because of the fact that "Rev." Matthews made a pretense at marrying them—he being an agitator instead of a preacher. If there is a probable need of a thorough investigation on the part of a grand jury as to the accounts of municipal officials in Seattle, then no one should object to the calling of the same. There has been so much of "Jack moving to my shop and I to Jack's" that there is no telling how many skeletons there are in the closet. "It's funny how every great man will praise Chicago while he is there and then proceed to get out of it as quickly as possible," says the P.-I. No more so, neighbor, than they do of Seattle. The great men seem to be great enough to comprehend that the boom talk the citizens of such towns indulge is done to catch suckers, and so they just help it along while there, but hurry away as soon as possible. Now that the local committee of the Christian Endeavor is up against it for funds for the entertainment of the convention next month, the members thereof must fully realize that Gov. McGraw, C. J. Smith and others knew whereof they spoke when they opposed the coming of the Christian Endeavor Convention to Seattle. Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will have no other. Having made a clean clear hundred million dollars operating on Wall Street, Thomas F. Ryan has retired from business and will spend the balance of his active life trying to get the opportunity to represent the State of Virginia in the United States senate. With a couple of millions to throw into the fight, Ryan will not have to wait very long for the opportunity. --- PRICE TEN CENTS. "Buy Coal Now," says a headline. Where? This is the season of the year when tax talks are of much interest to the franchise kings. Our last year's straw hat has ventured out once or twice, but notwithstanding a few days' warm sunshine we have not dared as yet to even hum, "The Good Old Summer Time." Having lost their fight from A to Z, the iron moulders of San Francisco have returned to work in an "open shop." Praise God from whom all blessings flow." In the vernacular of the alley philosopher, "Tillman is so badly bughouse that sensible people do not take his mouthings serious" any more. What per cent. of the Sullivan estate was the "lifter" of those papers to get? is the absorbing question in legal circles just now. France has decided to loan Japan a billion dollars for industrial development. Does France select this method of disturbing the peace of the world? Why not make the Patriarch the official organ of the Dr. Matthews clan, as the editor and the doctor seem to be two of a kind? If by their fruits we shall know them, Daddy Clayson is having his hands full these days defending the whiskey joints, but they pay him for it and he has to do it. Unless the industrial concerns of the Northwest hang up the open shop sign and stand by it, the day is not far distant when they will see the closed shop sign hanging where the open shop sign ought to be. For the past eighteen months Seattle having had a high man for mayor, we see no reason why a Low man for mayor would not only prove a pleasing but profitable proposition. Spokane has an actual population of 77,707, according to a recent mail carrier's census, which is a splendid showing. The day is not far distant when Spokane's population will be numbered by the six-figure dot. Last Friday was flag day, but no one would have thought it if the presence of flags had been depended upon to call attention to that fact. We Americans are altogether too badly money mad to think about any kind of a day or any kind of a thing in which there is not money in it for us. --- I It appears to readers of the Haywood trial that both the prosecution and the defense had prepared a mountain of deliberate lies for witnesses to swear to at the trial, and the bucking of the witnesses at the last min- ute has quite upset all of their plans. The assessment of the Seattle Lighting Company having been raised by Assessor Parish to about three times more than here- tofore, the gas consumers may expect to pay for three times more sterilized air than ever before. Closing and opening the Sullivan case goes merrily on, and let’s hope that it will con- tinue to be opened until the state will have been given what she is justly entitled to— every penny of that estate—and the hundred and one spurious heirs put to flight. Seeretary Shaw is probably correct in his allegation, ‘‘the Christian Endeavor, as an organization, does not draw any color line,”’ but it permits it to be done in a city where such is uncommon and yet makes no effort to correct the evil. Therefore Christian En- deavorism, its Virtue to the contrary notwith- standing, is not the thing to tie to. THE PASSING THRONG. Is there need for a grand jury in Seattle at present? is a question that is being re- peatedly asked these days, in view of the fact that the Renton Hill Club has pre- emptorily demanded the calling of such a body. Once before there went up in this city a hue and ery for a grand jury and the same was impaneled, and it worked away for a couple of months and indicted the World and his brother for all the crimes com- mon to the money-mad citizens of this coun- try, not one of which s.ood the test before a judge on judicial points. Now if the proposed jury is to hand the public a similar dose to that handed her by the Pigott grand jury, then a hundred, yea, a thousand, times better for the community thet it not only do not have a grand jury, but the man who first proposed it be boiled in oil. There is no need, in our opinion, for a grand jury, but there is need of a few genuine experts, not selected by the gang, to go over the. city and county books. se * The Washington Pioneer Association held aes | i ag oo, Sa raw s | Weoes: fe ee jase iol ee ela bs | | ee od ieee " isieeen | JUDGE THOMAS H. CANN, President Pioneers’ Agsociation. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN its annual reunion last Tuesday and report a most interesting meeting. The attendance was not so large as on former occasions, for the past few winter seasons have greatly de- pleted their ranks. One of the most interest- ing characters of the Association is the Rev. George F. Whitworth, who is now in his ninety-fourth year, and yet, to an extent, vigorous and seems good for ten or fifteen years more of useful life. He retired from the presidency of the Association and was sueceeded by Judge Thomas H. Cann, who is but a boy in comparison to Rev. Whitworth, Judge Cann being only seventy-four years of age. The new president has been more or less in the public eye in this community for forty years, and yet he is as active and vigor- ous as a man twenty odd years his junior. Truly is this climate conducive to longevity of life. Senator Tillman, he of pitchfork fame, passed through Seattle last Saturday and paid the Negro his usual compliments. There is a story in print to the effect that Ben R. Tillman earned the ‘‘pitchfork’’ sobriquet by having come in violent contact with a pitch- fork in the hands of an irate Negro, who refused to be ‘‘regulated’’ by ‘‘Marse Ben,”’ and protected himself with this instrument; that the regulator got regulated, as he not only got unmereifully drubbed, but lost an eye in the melee. Up to that time Tillman held some slight allegiance to the black folk, but from that time on every tie that con- nected: was severed and Pitchfork Tillman has stepped from one high office to another’ on the platform of Exterminate the Niggers, sah. AFRO-AMERICANISM. The National Negro Business League, of which Booker T. Washington is president, will hold its eighth annual session in Topeka, Kansas, this year, the dates having been fixed for August 14th, 15th and 16th.

GEORGE F. WHITWORTH, Ex-President Pioneers’ Association organization that it has seen fit to hold a session so far west as Kansas. This League, as is generally known, is com- posed of many of the best, most influential and industrious men and women of the race, and we say that, in a large measure, repre- sents the wealth, business acumen and intelli- gence of the race. And when we say intelli- gence, we do not mean to confine the terms to literary attainments, but we mean that class of men and women who do things, who accomplish something for themselves, and are a living and practical example to the commercial and business world that could be well emulated. Men and women of every livelihood are represented in this great con- course of industry that is soon to invade, for the first time, the broad and inviting plains of historic Kansas. Largely the majority of those attending will come from the North, East and South; some as delegaies, and many as friends of the League who will make the trip to see the West as a matter of curiosity and per- sonal pleasure. The attendance will be large we dare say, the largest in the history of the League in point of delegates enrolled. What will the West do? To what extent will we contribute to this splendid galaxy of the commercial and business world? Is it not the most opportune moment to place our- selves favorably before those of the more dis- tant parts who are soon to become our guesis? It will be a splendid opportunity for the North, South, East and West to-touch the cord of common brotherhood and for three days drink from the same fountain that will be filled with the lessons of economy, thrift and industry. There has never been a time in the history of this republie when there was a greater necessity for a common understand- ing; an understanding as to the best methods of making life worth living. Of making a life not only commendable to ourselves or one’s own coun.ry, but to the world. The program for this session will be ripe with seed thoughts—thoughts which, when once dropped, will take root and send forth a hundred fold. The benefits to be derived from this meeting, especially to the West, is incaleulable. The opportunity will not, un- less we begin at once to look, be seen until it is past. ee | Bo : eo y ey es i ame 4 | . © ee Ree eee, Z ae ae5 > i ae? ae ee CLARENCE B. BAGLEY, Secretary Pioneers’ Association. especially, may be able to grasp and hold all the benefits that are to be derived from the meeting, it is urged that in each community (city and country alike) that Leagues—Business Men's Leagues—be organized and delegates elected at once to attend this meeting, and all business men and women put forth every possible method to be in attendance and hear the program. The committee on transportation is assured of a rate of not over 11-3 fare for the round trip for the benefit of those who may avail themselves of the opportunity. Topeka most heartily extends to all her warmest and best right hand. The necessary committees have been appointed and ample accommodations for all will be provided. A most hearty reception will be extended. Further information will be given by addressing Ira O. Guy, First Vice-President, National Negro Business League, at 311 West 14th Street, Topeka, Kan. Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, after listening for weeks to the evidence for and against the discharged Negro soldiers for shooting up Brownsville, and the committee having about completed its work, gave a statement to the press last Tuesday night to the effect that the committee was of the opinion that the colored troops did not do the shooting. Despite this, President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft will not relent from their cruel crucifixion of the discharged soldiers, presumably for no other reason than because the men were Negroes, and to persecute them pleased the Bullocks of Georgia and the Southern white folk in general. Under such circumstances how can Secretary Taft expect to get a single Negro vote in the United States?

(BY COLONEL BATTLEAX.) (COPYRIGHTED.) BATALION I; COMPANY C. SHARPSHOOTERS. Method saves effort. Pride is a fool's vice. Discourtesy has caused wars. Early to ripen, early to decay. Impatience often defeats achievement. Generosity abused causes many an enmity. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The more ignorant, the more pretentious. "Making Money" often means robbing others. Bigotry is an offensive form of ignorance. Do you always know when you are in the way. Discourtesy is answerable for many a breach. Meddle not with questions beyond your grasp. A noble man is never seen bullying the weak. There is only one curse—the curse of evil. You are foolish if you make idle pretensions. Avarice subsidizes others to do the fighting. Nothing is more subject to theft than authority. A man is seldom ever a great talker and a great doer. It is unprofitable to have dealings with a liar. Notoriety heralds the appearance of the raise hero. The world often cries "Give," but seldom "Receive." True my way is not your way, but then I am not you. Temperance and beggary are seldom on intimate terms. When a man loses his self respect, what is there left? Brotherly love is highly valued, because it is so rare. The evil agent first robs a man and then insults him. The golden rule is well understood but little practiced. Some foes are not worthy to be considered as antagonists. While the patriots are bleeding, avarice will be scheming. There is nothing too mean for a mercenary wretch to attempt. An action to be right must be done at the proper time and place. Meet your obligations; it will enable others to meet theirs. Money can do much; but it cannot buy the respect of an honest man. The plain people have to pay for the mistakes of those in authority. We have a right to look for a good example in those professing religion. Justice! How vague the term to many, when the rights of others are at stake. Avarice is often afraid to defend its own property, and hires others to do so. Liar, thief, coward, bully—only different manifestations of the same kind of character. Dickering, close figuring, sharp practice and deceit—such one often finds in the lowly sphere of trade. Let others do the boasting. Lying for gain is inexcusable. Wrong turns pale; right never. Unbridled desires lead to disaster. True modesty shuns vulgar publicity. A tattler is a poor specimen of humanity. Behind deception lurks the spirit of evil. An old lie in a new dress will deceive many. Get knowledge at first hand whenever possible. Who is as smooth in his speech as a hypocrite. What have you done that you should fear death? It is pitiful to be a slave, and not know it. Truth is indebted to falsehood only for scars. A true leader never issues a whimsical command. To enslave seems to be the only vocation of some. Superiority is a crime in the eyes of the envious. Hurry and haste never accomplish anything permanent. Talk is cheap, but the time consumed is often valuable. The mercenary wretch places a monetary value on his favors. It is easy to find friends when they are not needed. Pretension presents a sorry appearance, when it is exposed. A false friend is more dangerous by far than an open enemy. If your high position inflates you, it is doing you no good. It is not the gun, but the spirit behind the gun that counts. The man who drinks liquor to gain courage is certainly a coward. Some people think that vain show is the principle thing in life. If everybody was penurious, there would be few excessively rich. Vagueness is often mistaken for depth by the thoughtless. A brave man will attain his ends by fair means, or not at all. Seeking heaven selfishly by some rule-of-thumb method—how ridiculous! Old maxims become time-worn, and so lose much of their force and effect. An inferior man in a high station serves but to advertise his own incapacity. When a man deliberately deieves you, can you have any further dealings with him? There is too close an embrace between religion and wealth for the good of either. Science is only a finer term for kn wledge, but it often labels that which is spurious. If you receive ill-treatment, that does not give you the right to pass it to others. Where there is harmony, love abounds; where there is discord, there is the spirit of evil. An insult to one's intelligence from a relative or friend will soon cause estrangement. The coward, when forced to make a choice, will unhesitatingly choose what he considers the stronger side; but he is a detriment to any side. The world imbibes many a falsehood with a smile; and if perchance it is forced to accept truth it is with a wry face—it hurts somewhat.

McCormick, like Barkus, is perfectly willing to be Washington's junior senator, but he has not been able to break into politics as yet. He is not inclined to be with any one, hence he seems to be quite alone. *** Take a stand and then stand. Politics may have in the past made strange bed-fellows, but the politician of the day has not the remotest idea who will be his bed-fellow next year. Even the Crocker-Stevenson-Baker triumvirate is not wholly certain they will occupy the same bed in next year's contest. * * * contest. Governor Cosgrove sounds good to me, and it must sound better to Mr. Cosgrove, who hopes to win that appellate in the direct primary contest next year. * * * It is said that Congressman Cushman publicly announced that he was not big enough to fill a senatorial chair. That's probably true, but such is true of the most of the men who are elected to fill seats in the United States senate, and so he should not necessar- * * * ily be very lonesome. Senator Jones may sound well to Yakima Jones, but it's like a tinkling cymbal and sounding brass to Senator Ankeny, who saw in the well last May day Miss Defeat all dressed and veiled awaiting his arrival at Olympia January, 1909. * * * Will John H. Schively aspire to be the first insurance commissioner to be elected in this state? is being asked in political circles. The question was overheard by the Hon. John L. Wilson the other day and he laconically replied, "I think not." * * * Former Gov. McBride may be a factor in the next gubernatorial fight, but, mark my words, he will not be a candidate for governor—no, not the McBride who formerly lived in Skagit County. The ghosts might walk and talk if he did. There is no reason why the Hon. John D. Atkinson cannot succeed himself as attorney general if he so desires, as he has made a most excellent official. True enough, he appointed Bobby Booth and Alexander deputies under him, but the best of us make mistakes. * * * His Excellency, Gov. Albert E. Mead, has decided to spend his summer vacation in Seattle at the Arlington Hotel. Already an unusual demand for rooms has been made on Senator Billy Potts, and the Arlington will be something of a political headquarters during the summer season. * * * What has become of Kenneth Mackintosh's congressional boom? It seems to have been either lost, straved or stolen, despite the per- --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN petual vigil of Col. Alden J. Times and the Evening Swillbarrel. * * * Harry Fairchild has the senatorial bee buzzing about his bonnet, and he hopes to sufficiently popularize himself while railroad commissioner to have an easy victory in a direct primary contest. "What fools we mortals be." *** "From Seattle, you say! Well, I once knew a very bright young politician of Seattle, but of late years I have lost sight of him. His name was Guie. Yes, E. Heister Guie. Do you know of him?" Soon ripe and soon rotten. Mr. Guie is no longer doing politics, but is engaged in the rather dubious calling of money-making. Former Attorney George P. Rossman contemplates going into the banking business at Kent, and if he does he will remember some of his persecutors when they aspire to succeed themselves on the bench of the Superior Court of this county. * * * Rotation in office will no longer be popular in this county, and it will be a difficult feat to accomplish under the direct primary law. Now let the legislature pass a four-year time of office and when one has served one term let him be down and out. Dr. Patrick S. Byrne, of Spokane, has announced his candidack for the Democratic nomination for governor of Washington. The announcement has been accepted as a gauge of battle by the friends of available men in both parties for not only the office of governor, but for other state officers, and particularly the representatives in congress. While Doctor Byrne is the first to make the announcement, there are at least three other well known Democrats whose friends in different parts of the state are looking upon them as gubernatorial timber. They are Mayor George P. Wright of Tacoma, Mayor W. H. Moore of Seattle, and Judge M. M. Godman of Dayton. On the Republican side present Governor Albert E. Mead, while he has made no formal or public declaration to that effect, is generally understood as being a candidate to succeed himself. S. C. Cosgrove of Pomeroy has announced his candidacy for the nomination, while the friends of Dr. H. W. Allen and D. T. Ham regard them as particularly strong men for the office, in view of their acquaintance and standing on the west side of the state as well as in Eastern Washington. * * * * While the direct primary law makes it impossible for the politician to give any candidate the delegation from a particular county, it is still possible for him to create considerable sentiment for his choice and thus succeed in obtaining the nomination for him. Again, the sense of justice among party members informs them that all sections of the state must have reasonable representation on the ticket. This would be necessary to hold the independent voter within party lines even if the better reason did not prevail. In view of this fact arrangements are already being made, or at least considered, by the friends of those desiring preference for the larger plums, so that when the big shaking takes place there may not be a pair of hands in the way, and thus divert the particular plum to another while the owner of the hands is trying to clasp the one upon which his attention is fastened. There is therefore much solicitude on the part of senatorial aspirants for the welfare of certain congressional and gubernatorial possibilities, and already indirect promises of approval and support are reaching the friends of leading possible nominees. For the United States senate to succeed Levi Ankeny, the senator himself desires to perform that pleasant service. Other names on the Republican list are exSenator John L. Wilson of Seattle, Robert L. McCormick of Tacoma, Wesley L. Jones, present congressman, from North Yakima, and Charles Sweeny of Spokane. The west side of the state has the most votes, and in the primary can say who shall receive the nomination for senator as well as governor, but there seems to be a disposition on the part of a number of prominent west side Republicans to recognize the justice of Spokane's claims to the chief executive's chair as well as a willingness to concede it to her. While the state has been districted, it does not follow that the selection of the congressmen will be actually, though nominally, left to the voters of each district. It will be readily seen that the friends of a senatorial candidate will not permit, if possible to prevent it, the nomination of a man for congress who was not known to be favorable to the election of their candidate. The attitude of Congressman Jones on the senatorial question will have much to do with the ambitions of other possible aspirants to be East- SUNSET TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH CO FOR LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE CONNECTION Business Office 1510 Second Avenue The Bank for Savings.

His renomination is generally conceded if he does not enter the senatorial fight, and he will therefore have little or no opposition, but if he decides to try for the higher position a number of Eastern Washington Republicans will be urged to try for the nomination. Frank T. Post, William H. Ludden, Samuel R. Stern, Harry Rosenhaupt, Millard T. Hartson and F. E. Waggoner all have a host of substantial admirers who would jump to their assistance if their names were declared in accordance with the direct primary law. Among the Democrats of Eastern Washington few are more popular than W. E. Goodyear, the genial editor of the Colfax Commoner, and he is being rather generally spoken of for the congressional nomination. He did effective work for the primary law and succeeded in having the Democrats of Whitman County conduct their last nominations under that plan. His popularity is not wholly due to his being an all 'round good fellow, for he is a man of ability as well as a good mixer. Two other strong pieces of Democratic congressional timber are Charles Reynolds of Seattle and Morris Langhorne of Centralia, and it is not improbable that their friends may insist on their entering the fight for the nomination. There will, of course, be a number in the field for the nomination, as the chances for Democratic success are far better in the coming election than they have been since the memorable land slides of '96. A declaration of war with Japan, which, by the way, is one of the probabilities, will necessitate the renomination of President Roosevelt, and in that case but few Democrats will be willing to attempt to withstand the chilling appeal of the president "for a congress to back him up," however designing such an appeal may be thought to be. Spokane Orator-Outburst. OUR SPECIAL! What Negroes are Doing in the Great Northwest. Spokane, Wash., June 13, 1907. H. R. Cayton, Esq., Seattle, Washington: Dear Sir: At the risk of causing my ancestors to turn in their graves, and mayhap to revisit the glimpses of the moon to make my nights hideous in retribution of my apostacy, I wish to congratulate you on your superb Northwest Negro Progress Number of The Seattle Republican. Notwithstanding that I may in the lonely hours of the night, when the graves yawn and yield up their dead, be confronted by the mournfully majestic visage of some departed ancestor, I shall be just and fear not. So highly did I think of your special edition that I sent one of the copies received at the office of Senator Turner to the president of the Arkansas Editor's Association. You deal with the Negro problem with moderation and far more philosophically than any editor I have yet read. In fact, you present the only solution—the dissemination of the Negro race throughout the different states, thereby relieving the congested districts of the South. And there is no better place for the Negro than the great Northwest, where Northerner, Southerner, Englishman, Irishman, German, Swede, Negro, work side by side and forget their narrow, provincial prejudices. Again congratulating you, and with best wishes for your continued success, I remain, Yours very truly, HENRY JACKSON DARBY. The Seattle Republican has issued its fourteenth annual number, under the cognomen of the Negro Progress Number. In this number Brother Cayton has covered himself with glory. It is undoubtedly the finest thing of its kind ever issued.—Tacoma Forum. Editor Cayton, Seattle Republican, did a good job in getting out his special. This was gotten out to show the advance being made by the Negroes in the Northwest. It makes a very creditable showing for the colored race and proves they are meeting the race for life in the Northwest without asking favors. This kind of independence is what is required to keep the respect of the community. The edition is full of half-tones and is nicely printed. It should do much good. White River Journal. The Northwest Negro Progress edition of The Seattle Republican is a very handsome number and would be a credit to any publication in the Northwest. It is devoted almost exclusively to what has been and is being accomplished by the colored race in the great Northwest, and is certainly an eyeopener. Among the fine half-tone engraving which adorn this number are several of local interest, namely, photographs of J. L. Bedell, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. Oley Washington, Richard Payne, the Hawkins residence, the Hawkins hop house and the school house in district No. 38.—Sunnyside Sun. The Northwest Negro Progress Number of The Seattle Republican, which was issued to celebrate its fourteenth anniversary, was one of the finest, if not, indeed, the very finest specimen of artistic makeup we have ever seen issued by Afro-Americans anywhere. It contained seventy-eight pages, many of which were devoted to the finest illustrations of the people and their homes we have ever seen in any of our publications. The matter contained information which was certainly an eye-opener to very many who perused its pages. We might say a great deal more of it in the highest complimentary terms, but we don't care to get out a special issue for that purpose, which would be necessary if we told all of its points of excellence. Suffice it to say that Editor Cayton may rest on his laurels for a long, long time before another newspaper will reach the high and shining mark he has set. We tender our heartiest congratulations.—St. Paul Appeal. THIRTY THINGS TO REMEMBER. 1. Remember that work is only a means, character is the end. 2.

The play at the Seattle theatre this week, "Chinatown Charlie," is the most convincing melodrama that has ever been presented in Seattle. There are fifteen scenes in the play, and each successive scene is of greater magnitude than its predecessor. There is one thing about the Earl Burgess Company's productions that is entirely different from any other plays ever seen here—the scenic equipment is as near in absolute keeping with the requirements as it is possible to make a melodrama; and the company contains such excellent material, that there is a superabundance of good acting in every cast. This week "Chinatown Charlie" is a real taste of modern melodrama. The play is right up good New York life today. There is a picture of heart story, several terrific sensational scenes, and comedy galore; but you will have to see the play to appreciate it, for it is indescribable through a ten picture. Next week's play at the Seattle theatre will mark the fourth week of the Earl Burgess Company, and the play will be "No Mother to Guide Her." It is another melodrama and of entirely different type. The heroine is a young girl thrown upon the world without a mother's love or care; she has to run the gauntlet of temptation, poverty and persecution—and that she succeeds in defying all the mackinations of the world, the flesh and the devil, and emerges a heroine in the end, will convince the most skeptical that "No Mother to Guide Her" is a play well worth seeing. Every member in the Earl Burgess Company will be seen in a different character from those they have impersonated up to date, and the play will doubtless attract the same measure of attention that this talented company's productions have ever since their advent at the Seattle theatre. There is a souvenir matinee every Saturday; this week, portraits of Miss Bryan, the leading lady, and Mr. Applegate, the leading man, will be given away at the reception. Next week it will be Miss Kathleen Barry and Mr. Morris Streeter, th ecomedian. With the view of attracting large number of Colored folk to Seattle and the Puget Sound country many copies of the Northwest Negro Progress number should be sent North, South, East and West and even to the islands of the sea. White as well as Colored citizens of Seattle are becoming interested in the work and the whites are beginning to buy the number for distribution. Within the past week the firm of MacDougall & Southwick Co. took 100 copies; H. C. Henry, 50 copies; J. D. Lowman, 50 copies; C. J. Smith, 40 copies; T. M. Haller, 20 copies; A. L. Taylor (Everett), 50 copies; W. H. Morris (attorney), 12 copies; H. P. Lawhorn (Tacoma), 75 copies, and many others smaller numbers. There are still more at the office of The Seattle Republican, where they may be had in wholesale lots. Persons wanting single copies can get them at Tutt's barber shop as well as at this office.
