Evidently Seattle got a gold brick in annexing Ballard. California's "lone black kid" of repeated train and stage robbery fame did it again last week and is still at large. Madera and Mariposa counties, where he operates, are much in need of sheriffs. If you put it in The Seattle Republican the people will see it and merchants with wares to sell should bear this in mind. The proposed "open shop" for Seattle is now an actual reality, and the Highlonesome Rust can rust out instead of fret out. One good deed to the credit of Col. Alden J. Times—roasting Bekins to a farmer's brown. If you doubt of the Hon. S. G. Cosgrove being at the G. A. R. encampment held in Ballard this week get last Wednesday's P.-I. If the telegraphic operators are successful no more business in this country will be done "on tick" until their demands are fully conceded. The water route seems to be claiming more than its share of victims this year, and the most of such accidents seem more or less gross carelessness. Summer Sundays are bringing their usual harvest of fatal happenings, but young America must have his fun, though it cost him his life, and so 'mote it be. Why did not some one wire to Gov. Mead from the G. A. R. encampment, "You are losing, Mr. Mead, but you don't know it." If William H. Seward's greatness is not transmitted to posterity it will be no fault of Seattle. Grocery stores, like saloons, in Seattle have been ordered closed on Sundays. The law says they must be kept closed on Sundays, and Chief Wappenstein is making no mistake in following the law. --- "Money makes the mare run" at The Meadows tomorrow. If the city is to lose a half a million dollars on her Queen Anne paving contract there is no need doing the job. Bekins says his health was fine before coming to Seattle, and now his bank book is in the self-same condition. Fortune seems to favor the holdup man. The talk about the street is that the Jim Agnew ring will be knocked higher than Gilroy's kite next year, and the beginning will be begun at the spring election in Seattle. Land grabbers of this state must be taking to the sagebrush, as their Uncle Sam is now down in the "tall timber" with the hope of meeting them. With snow fourteen inches deep in Butte last Tuesday, it would appear that Heinze and Clark have lost their arts in raising hades for the benefit of the community. It is said that Gov. Mead is camping on Cosgrove's trail. Cosgrove is at the Arlington at present and Mead is expected to be there early in July. "What means this bloody Casus?" Searching for coal in Alaska on the part of the United States geological survey will be nothing more than thousands of others have done since gold was first discovered there. With W. L. Jones in the senatorial harness there will be a wild scramble for his place in the House of Representatives, and T. D. Rockwell's friends are pushing him with might and main as Jones' successor. Negro troops, in view of the fact that no international embroglio is likely to be pulled off anyways soon, are not wanted. We suggest that they be disbanded, and then we further suggest that the Negroes see to it they stay disbanded. "Do Schools Get All Coal Paid For?" is a Star headline. Does anyone? might be asked. Why charge men with stealing a few pounds of coal? Does the Star labor under the delusion that there is but one righteous man in all Seattle and he Joe Smith, who furnishes sensational stories with not a grain of truth in them for the Star. Rockefeller's church baptized six Chinamen last Sunday and Johnny held the lamp Just how much that will cost those heathens of light while the good work was going on. in the way of an increase in price of oil may never be known to the public, but Johnny will see to it that the oil man will receive the biblical tenfold. --- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE TEN CENTS: WISE AND OTHERWISE. Seattle was talking of a three-cent street railway fare, but Chicago on the first of July will abolish the three-cent and adopt the two-cent fare. Now there is really no excuse for persons to walk. Recently a divorce was asked by a husband on the grounds that his wife was a chronic invalid. The husband has no doubt used his own judgment. However, we think he has forgotten having said the following words, "For better or for worse." Walla Walla, not unlike Seattle, fears a coal famine this winter. Hence the advise, "Get coal." or you will get cold. On the 26th of July the A. M. E. Sund $ ^{o V} $ School will give their yearly picnic. Those having attended one of these picnies before will know what this means. The friends and members of the church are sparing no pains to make this the most successful in the history of the church. Come, we will expect you. In a rural school in Bristow, Iowa, one Prof. D. L. Carroll was charged with battery and assault for giving his pupils practical spankings when needed. It was of no avail. He was re-elected for the ensuing year. As a rule, it is a common thing to hear a woman severely criticised for working. Some claim she becomes too common, others that she is, commonly speaking, "wearing the pants," and so on, until we find her at present using her own judgment, which in the end, no doubt, is best. We learn that in the year 1900 in the states there were 23,485,559 women 16 years of age and over, and of this number 4,833,559 were earning a livelihood; of the total number at work, 1,771,966 white women whose parents were natives, 1,090,966 with one or both parents immigrants, 840,011 white women who were themselves immigrants, 1,119,631 Negro women and 11,288 Indian and Mongolian women. The greater number of these working women were under the age of 35 years, and 15.9 per cent were women of families; 17.7 were widows, and 1.3 per cent were divorced. This leads us to believe the question of equal rights will sooner or later solve itself, not by persuasion and not by compulsion, but merely by a consequence of conditions. And the Seattle Republican, which does not love its enemies as itself, to the contrary notwithstanding, either of them could "do things" to many Republicans who have been prominently mentioned.—Olympia State Capital. --- THE STADIUM THE PASSING THRONG Last Tuesday afternoon from the Moran Ship Yard was launched the Seward, and a prettier launching has never taken place on the Pacific Coast than it. The whole affair worked like a charm, and as it left the place where it had been constructed and slid into the water. Miss Jessie Rosene seemed a little nervous as she stood waiting for the vessel to move, but when it did so she hit her a crack with the bottle of champagne that smashed not only the bottle into smithereens but even the wrappings. Only a few invitations had been issued for the ceremonies, hence there were but few present. While the Seward is nothing in comparison to the Nebraska, which was launched from the same place a few years ago, nevertheless it is a fine vessel, and it is a living proof that the Moran Company is prepared to build any kind of a boat from a tug to a man-of-war. To see the great army of men come pouring out of Moran Ship Yard when the quitting time rolls round one would hardly suppose that there was a strike there. In fact there is not, notwithstanding the fact that a few machinists walked out a few weeks ago and temporarily crippled the working plans of the plant. Those strikers' places for the most part have been filled, and in filling their places non-union men were used, and Moran's 4—REPUBLICAN b Ship Yard, for the first time in the history of the plant, is running an "open door" shop, and any man, irrespective of his nationality, race, color, creed or former condition, can find employment there, if a man is needed, just so he is able to fill the bill. General Manager W. V. Patterson is determined to break the backbone of strikes at that plant, and he knows of no more effective way to do so than to open the works of the plant to all men. Already non-union men from the East are beginning to arrive, and the furnaces of not only the Moran plant, but those of the Vulcan and the Washington Iron Works as well, are beginning to take on new life, and it will be but a few days more before the plants will have a full complement of men, the opposition of the union men to the contrary notwithstanding. The lovers of fleet horses and the devotees of the "book maker" at the races will be in their glory tomorrow afternoon when the first of the races for the season at The Meadows will be pulled off. General Manager Van THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A PANORAMIC VIEW OF THE MEADOWS The King County Fair Association's Race Course De Vanter says never before in the history of The Meadows has there been in the stables a finer string of "ponies" than at the present time, and that the race track lovers, during the 67 days the races will be in operation there, will get the full benefit of their time [Name not visible in the image] A. T. VAN DE VANTER. and money. The weather promises to be par excellent and the track is in splendid fix. There will be six races daily, and the street car accommodations will be almost perfect. FLAG HISTORY. It is now 130 years since the resolution decreeing that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, and that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation, was adopted. A few moments after its passage John Paul Jones, who was first to hoist the flag on an American man-of-war, first to show it upon the sea, first to receive and acknowledge a salute for it from a foreign power, first to fight a naval battle under it, and first to decorate with it man-of-war of the enemy taken prize in action, received his appointment as commander of the Ranger, a fortunate conjunction of events, which justified the daring sea-rover in his declaration, "That flag and I are twins, born the same hour from the same womb of destiny. We cannot be parted in life or death. So long as we float we shall float together. If we must sink, we shall go down as one." There is a story current that the first official flag ever made for the United States was presented to Captain Jones by the naval committee of congress, and that he displayed this new flag on the Fourth of July, 1777. ```markdown ``` But whether the flag he bore was the first or not, it is generally conceded that the first salute which the standard of the new nation received in foreign waters was that given by the French fleet in French waters to the Ranger's colors on the 14th of February, 1778.—Ex. While in Seattle a few days ago Ben R. Tillman, who is, we believe, one of the Southern senators, is reported to have stated that "the Negro question in the South will ultimately result in the massacre of the blacks by the whites." Does this unnameable creature know that, by the power of suggestion, such predictions tend to fulfill themselves? Blacker than the combined blackness of the skins of all the Negroes that have ever lived is the heart back of the lips that utter such things.—Hatline (Wash.) Standard.

It has just issued its first number of its fourteenth THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN TION TIRING S GO DIAMOND hes, Clocks, Fine J verware, Umbrella Leather Good lling at the People Y OF SEATTLE DID THE PEOPLE H ATCHES AT SUCH PRICES AS THE 15 to 21 JEWEL WATCHES IN SOLID ELLING FOR LESS THAN THE GOL ND PALACE 517 2 volume. This number will make a worthy addition to any library. It contains 78 pages, and is filled with matter concerning the growth and progress of the people of that new State. There are sixty cuts of the leading professional men and women of the once-opressed Americans, persons among whom are Andrew R. Black, a Virginian by birth; Dr. David T. Cardwell, born in North Carolina, both graduates of Howard University, and Prof. J. Byron Reed, a Washingtonian now recognized as a muscic master, who was a pupil of Professors Bishoff, Tenny and Sousa. The Seattle Republican, a paper published by Negroes for Negroes, has just issued a beautiful special edition which is a credit to the publishers and the city of Seattle alike. The issue contains a large number of halftones of views in and around the cities of Seattle and Tacoma, and many cuts of Negro citizens of more or less prominence in business and the professions. Such a product merits a wide circulation and will result in benefit to those connected with its production.—Cle Elum Echo. A NOTABLE PUBLICATION. A publication of uncommon attractiveness and special interest is the Northwest Negro Progress number of The Seattle Republican, which also marks the celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of this enterprising and progressive newspaper. The number is replete with portraits of the progressive men and women of the race in the far-removed State of Washington, together with illustrations of their comfortable homes and up-to- --- JOS. HOESLECH, Prop. date business establishments. Nor is the coming generation forgotten, because over the caption, "Made in Seattle," appear some cute pictures of the little boys and girls who have made their debut in that thriving town. The edition comprises some eighty pages, printed on coated paper, and the half-tone engravings are of unusual excellence. H. R. Cayton is the editor and publisher of The Republican, and Susie Revels Cayton, his associate. An article of timely interest in this edition is the editorial entitled "Come West, Black Man," which we republish in another part of The Age.—New York Age. 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. Japan may be crazy, but she ain't no fool, and Uncle Sam will find that out some day; yes, some sweet day. OLD CLOTHES MADE NEW. At Reasonable Rates and Rapid Returns. THE CITY DYE WORKS. C. M.

Mr. Cosgrove has spent the past ten days in Seattle and on the Sound, and has been doing politics, he incidentally attending the G. A. R. reunion at Ballard, where he has been much in demand among the battlescarred veterans. It is expected that Gov. Mead will spend the summer in Seattle and will be quartered in the same hotel that is now giving shelter to Mr. Cosgrove, where he too will do politics. Former Territorial Governor Miles C. Moore, of Walla Walla, and, by the way, a leading Boxer, spent a few days in the city this week, and when questioned about the results of the recent primary election in Walla Walla threw up his hands and pleaded "Not guilty." "I was not there when the deed was done and therefore am in no wise responsible. I am not talking politics, as I am out for a good time. I have no choice for governor.." You hit the nail on the head, Mr. Piemaker as to the probable candidacy of T. D. Rockwell to succeed W. L. Jones. That Tom Rockwell will be a candidate for the House of Representatives of Congress in the Third District is almost a foregone conclusion, and that he will be a heavy weight in the fight is likewise a foregone conclusion. State Senator Walter J. Reed, of North Yakima, has announced his candidacy to succeed himself, and in commenting on the same the Yakima Democrat speaks as follows: Senator Reed, from a Republican standpoint, made a good record for himself as state senator. He is a thoroughly conscientious worker, and has the interests of Yakima county at heart apparently.

POLITICAL Not much is being said about the platform on which the Republicans of this city will make their next mayoralty campaign next spring, nevertheless it's a thorn in the flesh. There is no question as to the platform the Democrats will indorse, for the only person in their party that will have a ghost of a show to win is Mayor Moore, and he himself has written his platform, and it reads, Saloons Closed Sundays. That kind of a platform seems to be acceptable to the rank and file of the citizens and voters of Seattle at present, and unless the Republicans adopt a similar platform the odds will be ten to one of Moore skinning his opponent at the regular election. Mayor Moore is no angel, especially when he is out with the boys—he is simply "Billy," but he is a politician $365\frac{1}{4}$ days in every year, and since he has been mayor every public move he has made has carried with it a political significance. The Sunday closing disease he found to be popular at this time and he closed saloons, and has already begun to close grocery stores and other places. He himself would probably famish if he had to go all day Sunday without irrigating, and therefore is no devotee of the Sunday closing, but it is making him votes, and votes is what gives him office, and with office in his hands he will manage to irrigate to his heart's content. But be that as it will or may, Billy Moore, under the circumstances, is going to be a hard man for any Republican, even J. D. Lowman or Walker, whom the office of mayor of Seattle will seek rather than they seek the office to defeat. "I suggest," said a well known Republican one day this week, "that the platform on which the Republicans of this city make their campaign next spring be something of a compromise on the Sunday closing. It would be nothing more than fair if the saloons be permitted to open Sunday at 1 o'clock p. m., thus giving the church-going element ample time for their services, and yet during their service hours no member be disturbed by the thought of saloons being run in full blast at that time. If the Republicans will nominate a candidate for mayor on the half Sunday closing platform they will win hands down. If they refuse to concede to such a compromise, then an independent candidate will be nominated, and I believe he will be elected, but whether elected or not, the Republican candidate will not be, and of course we will have two years more of Moore, and then, mayhap, he will play politics with the liberal element of the city as he was wont to do. The primary election was pulled off in Walla Walla last Monday, and, as a year ago, the Boxers won the fight in a walk and the Ankenyites were routed even worse than they were a year ago. This does not necessarily mean that Senator Ankeny has lost the entire county, but it is a most favorable omen in that direction. That the Boxers will THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name not visible in the image] succeed in taking the county organization from Senator Ankeny, just as they have the city organization, is almost a foregone conclusion, and with his own county against him he will have played his last "ante" and all will be lost. Whether or not it would help Senator Ankeny to get in now and defeat Mayor Kellough is a serious question, and he and his friends had better think of it prayerfully before undertaking it. When the Ankeny forces met defeat in Walla Walla one year ago, it will be remembered that the P.-I. followed the defeat up with an editorial under the caption, "The Beginning of the End," which was such a hot tamalie that the pressman had to use water to keep it from setting the paper on fire. The propheticness in that editorial is slowly but surely coming round, as Senator Ankeny has lost again, and it is being whispered about the state that the big three—Crocker, Stevenson and Baker—have decided to force him to withdraw from the senatorial race or they will desert him in the midst of his fight. That Senator Ankeny will be succeeded by Wesley L. Jones seems almost an absolute certainty at this writing. The Pie-maker in another column is printing the pictures of the two leading Republican candidates for the gubernatorial nomination of this state with the view of you, dear reader, studying the faces of the two men and see for yourself which one of them you would rather cast your vote for at the next primary election. Of course, Gov. Mead is the leading candidate because of the fact he is governor and holds the patronage of the state in his hands, but in Mr. Cosgrove he faces a dangerous opponent, for Cosgrove is not only popular but a veritable cyclone on the "stump." That the fight has narrowed down to these two candidates is an acknowledged fact, and The Seattle Republican would be taking its life in its own hands to try to pick the winner at this time. If Ankeny withdraws from the senatorial contest that will mean that the P.-I. will have no interest whatever in the outcome of the contest, and will lend neither candidate any assistance. If Ankeny continues in the fight, then it is believed that the P.-I. will support Gov. Mead, it believing that he has the better chance to win, and thereby complete the undoing of Senator Ankeny which has already Savings Accounts Only Received.

Some of the friends of Sam Cameron, who so ably represented this county in the legislature during the last session, have spoken of the Scotch representative as possible senatorial timber, and Colonel W. W. Robertson, the editor of the Yakima Republic, has also been mentioned in this connection. It is understood, however, that Colonel Robertson has his eye on the gubernatorial chair, and while he denies this rumor, it is said that he would gladly enter the race and make a personal fight for the nomination of governor, if he thought by so doing it would lessen the chances of Gov. Mead to again receive the Republican nomination. AFRO-AMERICANISM Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, we learn, is taking his well deserved as well as much needed rest in England, where he will remain until Aug. 26th, the time set apart for the meeting of the Niagra Movement. Report has it that Joe Gans, champion prize fighter of the East, will erect a $20,000 hotel at Baltimore for the exclusive use of people of color. We do not know just how much truth there is in the statement, but if true, much credit is due Gans. The Negroes of Baton Rouge, La., Ajax Lodge, Knights of Pythias, have recently erected a combination theater, skating rink and lodge room costing over $6,000, known THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE GREAT THE GREAT as Castle Hall. By so doing they show no small amount of race pride as well as business enterprise. Col. Scott, superintendent of the Military Academy, West Point, is much in sympathy with the Negro in various ways. In regard to their actions while at West Point he says: "The conduct of the Negro troops since they have been at West Point has been admirable and flawless; indeed, it has been much better than that of the white regulars who followed." Lewis Cowan, of Brownsville, denies havaker go to Brownsville he would be "tarred ing made the statement should Senator For Races S. G. COSGROVE. and feathered." In such case who are we to believe—Lewis Cowan or our eyes? Miss Anna T. Jeanes, a white woman of Philadelphia, is given credit for having donated one million dollars for the assistance of educating the Negro children in the small towns throughout the Southland. This we should all feel more or less grateful for, because there is nothing needed more seriously among the Southern Negroes than education Some claim that a change of environment is what the Negro most needs. So be it; but environment has nothing to do with the individual, unless there is a change upon the part of the individual himself or herself, as the case may be, and education must, to a great extent, bring about this change. i a a a a a IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for King County.

The rural scenic melodrama being played at the Seattle this week by the Earl Burgess Company, is an absolute change from the big city plays that preceded it at the hands of this splendid company of players that Messrs. Russell & Drew brought across the continent for the summer season. There is not a city scene in "No Mother to Guide Her"; it breathes of the pure country air, and yet the action of the play is as strenuous as one could imagine. The first scene is a rural home, where the characters are introduced; the second, a romantic Gypsy camp, where a midnight wedding takes place, followed by a most realistic tornado; the third act, the interior of a rural home; and the fourth act, the exterior of an old cabin in a romantic ravine. The company covered themselves with new laurels and no small amount of glory in their production of "No Mother to Guide Her." Next week for the fifth week of the summer season, the biggest play yet essayed by the Earl Burgess Company in Seattle, "A Marked Woman," will be staged. It is said to be the very apex of stage realism and splendor. The play deals with the Boxer uprising in China several years ago; and, aside from the character of the play, which the principals of the Earl Burgess Company will ably fill, there are about twenty-five or more auxiliaries used in this melodrama. The scenic effects, stage settings and lighting will be a big feature. Those who attend the Seattle theater during the engagement of the Earl Burgess Company can safely congratulate themselves on having received more than good value for their money, and the success of the engagement has already been her- SEND IT AWAY.
