One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .60 Entered at the Postoffice, at Sea .e, as Second Class Mail Matter, Greater Seattle has a school population of 34,932 according to a recent school census. There are a great many things in Seattle, but the above figures bear strong evidence of the fact that, "there are children in Seattle." That Miss Church, who claims to have been held as a slave by a Chinaman in Portland on the pain and penalty of death if she tried to escape, was, we are inclined to believe, a willing subject. It may be like gaul and worm wood to the "bears" to see the "bulls" throw wheat in the air, but the farmers of the Northwest thoroughly enjoy the proceedings. The higher the better or the higher the more money for the Hayseeds. If "Judge Reed" is as uncivil on the bench, to which he has been recently appointed by Gov. Mead to fill out the unexpired term of the late Judge Huston, as George Reed was in the legislature, then no one but his friends had better venture in his court. If the wages of the working folk of Seattle have kept pace with the necessities of life, then the high prices for food is nothing more than right, but is the head of a family getting any farther ahead financially than when he got less for his labor and paid less for his living expenses? West Seattle Not Wanted was the sign hung out by the city council last Monday evening and that too despite the fact that West Seattle citizens voted almost as a unite the Saturday before for the annexation. What spirits of jubilation must spring up in the bosoms of Frank Paul and Wash Rutter. Fourth' July orator was much in evidence yesterday and amid the den created by his rasping razoo, the screams of the glorious bird, the babblings of young Americans and finally the roaring celebration cannons the old dope could be heard to plead, "Oh, sweet Jesus, find me a place to rest." A prominent man was recently heard to say, "I would advise that all of the men following the legal profession erect what would be known as a Lawyers' Office Building. We do not know the extent of this ```markdown ``` SEATTLE. WASHINGTON JULY 5, 1907. desire, but we think it a first class idea if for nothing else than to relieve his Satanic Majesty from the trouble of scampering all over the city to get his own. With the miners having a spy in the camp of the Pinkertons and the Pinkertons a spy in the camp of the miners that brace of criminal outlaws should have kept a pretty close tab on each other. Secretary Taft wires a Cuban leader that Uncle Sam is desirous of having his troops evacuate the island and restore Cuba to a republican form of government directed by persons elected by a fair election. A fair election, from Mr. Taft's view point in the past, is an election from which the black voter of the island is forced at the point of bayonet to let severely alone. Spokane's Mayor Moore says the gamblers are not wanted in that city. Gamblers not wanted? Well, the holy gee, who ever heard of such? Why, Mr. Mayor, the gambler is what makes a town have "good times," so we have been informed, and now you are driving General Prosperity from your town. Well if Spokane and Seattle are not up against the real thing then. Elmer W. Johnson, a Seattle printer, who sued the typographical union of this city for $30,000, was awarded a verdict of $3,500 last Friday night by a jury in Judge Hanford's court. The sum and substance of the verdict is, the typographical union in future will not be permitted to boycott a man because he does not obey some iron-clad rule, which it has made for the purpose of forming a labor trust. Dan Bekins has evidently done some pretty shady things in the shape of overcharges, but he is not the only pebble on the beach, for not long since the firm of Galbraith & Bacon charged a man $1.20 per hundred for common brick at the wharf when the same quality of brick was being sold for 80 cents per hundred everywhere else. The Chamber of Commerce and the Brick Exchange would do well to investigate this form of graftitis on the part of this firm. BORROWED THOUGHTS. Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the treasury, will be present at the commenceme n exercises at Wilberforce University. Dr. Vernon is an alumnus of the same. * * * The 15th of November, coming, will be the fortieth anniversary of Howard University. Arrangements have already been made to have President Roosevelt present on that day. This occasion will call back many of the 3,000 alumni to their Alma Mater, who will recount their remembrances of the many happy school days. PRICE TEN CENTS. It has very lately been discovered by Mr. Daniel Kelly, one of the assistant librarians in Congress, that more than 5,000 books have been written and more than 3,000 pieces of music have been composed by colored men. * * * The supervising principal of the colored schools of Washington City, Roscoe Conkling Bruce, son of ex-Senator Blanche K. Bruce, has recently been promoted to the position of assistant superintendent of the public schools of that city. Mr. Bruce enters into his work not as a stranger but as one accustomed to it, having held a similar position. * * * Garfield Thompson, a Negro of Chattanooga, Tenn., was lately appointed gauger for the Scott Prince Distillery of that city, and this being the first time a Negro has been appointed to the internal revenue service, the proprietors became angry and at once said that they would close the distillery unless the Negro was removed, they claiming that he (Thompson) is not competent. Acting Chief of Police Willard of Seattle won the heart of many a boy, large as well as small, when he made the statement that he was not in favor of a noiseless Fourth. He said: "Too long has America been celebrating the Nation's birthday in a noisy manner to restrict them now." We learn that engravings have just been finished and are now on sale of the world's greatest Negro poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar. The walls of no home could bear a better adornment than a likeness of this man of whom the entire race has a just right to be proud of. The Bar Association of Tacoma held a meeting last week for the consideration of regulating the fees that might be charged by the members of the bar, for different services to their respective clients. Those agreed upon were as follows: For appearance in supreme court, $100; for preparing a brief, $50; divorce cases in default, $50; contested, $100; examining of abstract, $10, and advice in the office, $5. Recently a farmer, by name Ralph Lane, was placed under arrest for having sent his six-year-old son to a saloon to get some beer. The judge stating, "any parent that would be so cruel to a child of his or hers as to send it to a saloon was not capable of the government of the same, hence the child is taken from the father and given into the custody of the sheriff." We sincerely hope that this new law will tend to make parents more careful of their children and also to remember that they are to do by their children as they would have them done by. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN HARBOR SEATTLE KENNEY O'SEATTLE THE PASSING THRONG A Marrying Mistake.—The man or woman who marries for money will realize after marriage that though they got the money they got more misery than money and the latter far more annoying than the money will ever be enjoying. If a man and a woman love each other no regard whatever should be paid as to whether the man has or has not money. The following from the Spokesman- Review show how foolish some women are: "Believing that the most frequent cause of unhappy married lives is poverty, the young woman of several towns in Indiana are forming what they call "Young Ladies' Protective societies," the members of which propose to know just how they stand financially when they take the step into matrimony. They have decided to refuse the entreaties of any and all young men for their hands who can not furnish a commercial rating. Cupid is to have no encouragement unless backed up by at least $2,000 and a life insurance policy." When a young couple marry for love and have the ambition and likewise the stickuitiveness they are absolutely certain of getting ahead unless continued misfortunes overtake them in a way of sickness or accident. It is the experience of most men that they accumulated more in a few years after getting married than they did in all of the years of their single life and that too in cases where they have remained single until they were in their thirties. Instead of figuring how much money a young man should have before she consents to marry him the woman should figure on how much industry; ambition and will-power her would-be husband has and if he seems well supplied with those and the two seem congenially mated the money will certainly be forthcoming. The young man and the young woman who start life together and earn a sufficient amount of money to care for themselves in their declining years regardless of what their children may or may not do for them are the happiest souls on earth and make a thousand times more desirable citizens than the couple who is eternally boasting of having been born with a silver spoon in their mouths, who do nothing but foolishly spend the money left them by some over-indulgent parent who perhaps earned the same by cheating his neighbors. Dow Smith, who shot to death his divorced wife because she would not live with him again as his wife, and, who shot his mother-in-law to death because he believed she was instrumental in his wife not returning to live with him, is, to say the least, a fiend incarnate and should suffer the full penalty of the law as soon as that can be legally inflicted upon him, and that, too, despite his age, which is reported to be seventy-two years. While his attorneys may plead emotional insanity, yet the facts will not bear out the attorneys' contention. Dow's deed may not have been cold-blooded murder, yet it was a premeditated murder as he was looking for the woman for a number of days evidently with that awful crime well fixed in his mind. The woman had not deceived him nor had she done anything that in anyway reflected upon his character or manhood, but her only of- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN fense was she would not live with him, and, judging from his hellish act, she was perfectly justifiable in not doing so. When a man and a woman find they can not get along happily together then it is a duty they owe to their fellowmen to get along apart. If one of them would rather live with the other and yet the other does not desire to do so, then, if the scorned one be the man, he is a brutal coward as well as a nuisance to try to cajole the woman into doing so. While we are not advocates of hanging, yet if the law says hang then no case that has come under our observation is more deserving of being hung for murder than the one now under discussion and Dow Smith should be hung at the very earliest time the law will permit it. THE HEART OF SEATTLE. The proposition of the John Davis Company to sell to King County for a court house the blocks of property now occupied by the Seattle Electric Company's car barns or Pine Street and Fifth Avenue is but another move toward bringing the court house in this city down from its exalted position. That the court house is too high on the hill is one thing in which every one who has to make a trip up to it fully and willingly agree. It is so high that it must come down and the sooner it does the better for the entire community. Year after year the county commissioners go steadily on adding to that legal Noah' ark, all of which can be rightfully termed wasting the people's money, when they must realize that sooner or later it will be nothing more or less than a heap of brick of no practical value to either the city or county. While the site offered by the enterprising real estate firm is by no means in the heart of the city at present, yet the city is going that way and from a view point it would be an ideal one. It's only a question of time when the block offered for sale for a county court will be the center of Greater Seattle. The building boom that has been going on in that section of the city shows plainly the drift of the city and while the southern part of the city will lose none of its activity, yet the northern section will go right on and on until Lake Union will be in the midst of the retail district. For a long time it was thought that the retail business would go up Pike Street but that no longer seems probable since the opening up of Westlake Boulevard. The accompanying map will give the reader some idea of what sooner or later will be the heart of Seattle. As soon as the Denny Hill will have been lowered to grade great blocks will be erected on the site and that of itself will draw the city to it as well as beyond it. ELKS' GRAND LODGE The coming Elks' conclave at Reading, Pa., this year promises to be one of the most important sessions ever held by that fraternity. Besides the ordinary routine matters of the grand lodge, it is not unlikely that steps will be taken to restore harmony in the ranks of the Elks, which were split by the unfortunate disagreement last year. Chicago will go to the grand lodge with a fine delegation. Messrs. R. L. LaCasse, T. J. Wilson, L. L. Alexander, Frank W. King and other moving spirits in Chicago Lodge No. 43, are talking of great things at the Reading meeting. It is probable that Kentucky will furnish a candidate for one of the grand offices to be filled at this conclave. Dr. James H. Sebree, of Paris, one of the most eminent and most efficient members of his profession in the State of Kentucky, and an enthusiastic Elk, will be made a trustee if the plans of his many admirers in the Elks can have their way. Dr. Sebree has represented his lodge three successive years at the grand conclave, and his co-fraternists are going to reward him by giving him whatever is in their power. Chicago Conservator. PECULIAR AND PERTINENT. Europe and America have about 80,000,000 hives of honey bees. * * * Fifty fine vessels are constantly employed in laying and repairing the submarine cables of the world. An acre of rich land in the parts of Central America suitable for raising that fruit will yield about 26,000 bananas in a year. * * * The origin of the Great Bank of Newfoundland is said to have been in the boulders carried down by icebergs. The bank is 600 miles long and 120 broad. * * * Germany exports more than three billion lead pencils every 12 months. They are shipped to foreign countries at the rate of over 10,000,000 a day, counting six days to the week. * * * The average amount of honey taken from an English hive is 50 pounds, double the American average. The record "take" from any hive was 1,000 pounds from a stock of Cyprians. When English capitalists were trying to establish Angora goat raising in South Africa they paid as much as $2,500 apiece for goats to induce the Turkish owners of fine flocks to risk the severe penalties of the sultan's laws forbidding the exportation of Angoras. * * * Effective use has been made from time to time of searchlights at Niagara for illuminating the gorge, etc. Citizens of Niagara Falls now propose to make a regular installation for the purpose, and W. D. A. Ryan, the illuminating expert, is giving his attention to the subject. At night Niagara is not seen except under moonlight, and it is believed that some very beautiful effects can be obtained by throwing artificial daylight on the scene, with color transitions. A Negro woman lately made a complaint to the Interstate Commerce Commission for having to make an interstate trip in a car set apart for members of her race. Upon investigating the matter the committee decided that the law says that there shall not be "undue" discrimination between persons who may travel on the roads and that the difference made in reference to the Negro is in no way "undue," because of the small revenue derived from the Negro patrons thus making it impossible to supply the same conveniences for the Negro as for the whites. ...POLITICAL POT-PIE... Rumor has it that the Ankeny senatorial campaign is on its last legs, yea not only or its last legs, but practically all in. It is claimed by the wise ones that B. D. Crocker has already served notice on the senator that he, Ankeny, need not expect he, Crocker, to give him, Ankeny, any assistance in the senatorial campaign and not only will not help him, but he, Crocker, advised Ankeny to withdraw from the race and permit the triumvirate to make a compact with some one else that has a show of winning and in this Stevenson and Baker fully concurred. Senator Ankeny is still reluctant about withdrawing, but he is feeling more inclined to do so since the Walla Walla primaries went against him as it is dawning on him that it was his money that repeatedly pulled his tickets through rather than his popularity. In reviewing the results of the Walla Walla primaries the P.-I. was lead to comment along the following lines: "Senator Ankeny was foolish to try his strength by the direct primary method, for he should have known that before the people he has no strength. With B. D. Crocker and George Stevenson having access to his sack for their dark-lantern uses, he might obtain some results. He attained his seat in the senate only by using such persons and their methods. Now he stands naked and shorn, an unseemly object, rejected by his own neighbors." Last week George Stevenson, who some couple of years ago bought the Hotel Diller of Seattle with the sole purpose of strengthening the Ankeny senatorial fences, concluded that he was wasting his time and sold the same to a man who knows nothing of politics and cares still less. Stevenson is not quite certain what he will do as yet, but one thing is certain, he will not handle the Ankeny campaign sack next year, and whether he will even be conspicuous in the campaign is a question, as the triumvirate is of the opinion they see their political finish. * * * Senator Ankeny, in an interview with the writer last Friday, at the Tacoma Hotel, said: "You can say to your readers that I am a candidate to succeed myself and see no reason why my effort will not succeed. My friends over the state are giving me all sorts of encouragement and all signs point to my success. My work in Washington will compare favorably with other western senators and the major portion of my constituents appear pleased with my services."—Tacoma Forum. Of course, he wants it again; but with that mountainous obstacle, the direct primary, in his path how will he ever get it again? It is not to be supposed that John L. Wilson gave the state direct primary for the purpose of facilitating Ankeny's return to the senate. If Senator Ankeny depends on his senatorial record to save his seat in the senate he had better prepare at once to relinquish the toga, for by so doing he will save himself a vast amount of grief.—Yakima Democrat. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The result of the direct primary election held at Walla Walla last Monday to nominate candidates for the municipal offices was a defeat for the Ankeny forces and a victory for the Boxers. It demonstrates that while Senator Ankeny may still have the support of the professional politicians of the state he lacks the support of the people of the city where he resides.—Colfax Commoner. OUR SPECIAL EDITION. The Seattle Republic has just published a special "Northwest Negro Progress Number." It is a creditable publication from every point of view and begins with an editorial entitled, "Come West, Black Man." The issue shows by a concrete representation son of the evidences of progress which have followed upon the efforts of the Negro people of that section to advance in all important directions. The whole edition is well printed and gives live information as to the activities of our people. It is a record of achievements of which any group of people could be proud, and we would suggest that our people everywhere secure copies of this special edition of The Seattle Republican.—Tuskeegee Student. * * * The Seattle Republican. In book form, eighty pages from cover to cover, the "Northwest Negro Progress Number" of the Seattle Republican came to us last week veritably astounding in the perfection of its makeup, matter and general appearance. The Republican is fourteen years old, and it celebrates its birthday in this gorgeous way. Its front page carries an artistic advertisement of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition to be held in Seattle in 1909. From cover to cover it is filled with interesting summaries, reviews, sketches and general articles pertaining to different sections of the state of Washington, and its prominent people, colored and white, with splendid cuts of buildings, persons and places. It is printed on heavy book paper, and carries an up-to-date array of advertising, showing that the white merchants appreciate the great hustling ability of Editor H. R. Cayton and his wife. It is a paper which the people of Washington, white and colored alike, can send over the world with feelings of pride for themselves, and for this evidence of their unsurpassable business integrity.—Colorado Statesman. * * * A JOURNALISTIC ARTIST. The Seattle Republican has given its readers a genuine work of art, literary and typographical, in its seventy-eight page special edition which it has just issued, under the title of The Seattle Republican Northwest Negro Progress Number. The edition is embellished with fine half tones of progressive Negroes, men and women, of the Puget Sound country, of beautiful homes and other institutions, all of which are highly creditable to our race in this country. The faces of the men and women appearing in this issue are marked with intelligence and Western progressiveness. The editor of The Republican must certainly have selected the finest looking people in Seattle or else all the people in that city and section are strinkingly hand- J. S.

The business end of the publication has not been neglected for this special edition contains a liberal number of splendid advertisements from the leading firms of Seattle, showing the appreciation of the business firms of that city of The Republican as a good advertising medium. We congratulate The Republican upon its splendid edition which also marks its fourteenth anniversary, and wish it a long and increasingly useful and prosperous career.—The Omaha Nebraskan. The Seattle paper purporting to interview Senator Ben Tillman, who visited that city recently, represented the South Carolinan as saving: "The Negro question in the South will ultimately result in massacres of the blacks by the whites. Such conflicts of the races are bound to come and have been presaged in the Atlanta riots and Brownsville disturbances. They can no more be avoided than can the question of white superiority be dodged by the very men who have for many years undertaken to prove that the Negro is entitled to equal rights and privileges with the white man." If Tillman is going about the country uttering such talk as the above he ought to be muzzled and sent home. On the race question Tillman has ever been a dangerous extremist, apparently bent on going out of his way to stir up trouble between whites and blacks. Such a course is manifestly wrong, as constant agitation of a painful issue only makes matters worse. Real statesmanship seeks a cure for present unhealthy racial conditions. As long as Tillman goes about the country preaching and prophesying violence and massacre for the Negroes, just so long will the latter revile and curse him, and no fair-minded man will blame them for doing so. The cause of justice would be better subserved if Tillman would go home and stay there. He does not fairly represent the prevailing sentiment even in the South on the race question—Yakima Democrat. A REGIMENT OF AXIOMS. (BY COLONEL BATTLEAX.) (COPYRIGHTED.) BATTALION I. COMPANY E. Rough and Ready. (Held in Reserve.) COMPANY F. Resolute. Let not danger appal you. An oak does not spring up in a day. Courage is the basis of all manly virtues. Keep your face ever toward the antagonist. Courage is the strong breastplate of right. Trifle not with the man who fears not death. To surrender is what almost everybody can do. The harder the experience, the more we learn. Fall or rise, when the time comes to act—act! THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Do right for the love of it, and not for the reward. Resolve to stand or fall in the cause of freedom. A coward hates a brave man with an envious malice. You do not lessen the danger by running away from it. Some are averse, others afraid, to champion the truth. Your sense of independence is offensive to the tyrant. If you wish to attain, you must be prepared to endure. Withhold not a word of encouragement where it is deserved. Cultivate fortitude, and pain will lose some of its terrors. We grow in strength by meeting obstacles and overcoming them. A tyrant hates a brave man, for he knows that he cannot subdue him. The man who fights and runs off will never make a notable warrior. The truth must be stated boldly, for the adversary is aggressive. Pain has a limit, and a true hero can endure it in its worst form. The stronger the passion, the more masterly the man who can control it. To show the way is not sufficient; you must lead the way to make it complete. A perfect conscience is not appalled—no, not even when confronted with death. A brave man will not impose distasteful conditions on a defeated worthy foe. A true leader does not drive his men, but simply leads, directs and encourages them. A true soldier is actuated more by love than fear in the performance of his duty. The timid think the brave foolhardy, whilst the brave know the timid to be cowardly. The smaller army is obliged to rely more on its quality than its bulk, and generally wins. The coward surrenders before he is beaten, but the brave scarcely know when they are beaten. Do not despise scars, for they may denote that the bearer has stood in the forefront of battle. An insult may possibly be manly, when it is given under circumstances where it can be answered. You prefer to be stricken down one by one, instead of joining forces and co-operating against the common enemy. There is over-confidence and there is lack of confidence; but choose that confidence that is born of intimate self-knowledge. The greatest tribute that can be paid to any man is to say that he has a heart as tender as a child's and as brave as a lion's. When the crisis is nigh, let every muscle be tense and eevry nerve alert, and when it has passed you are entitled to relaxation. Fight on the side of right as against wrong and falsehood, in light or shade, whether as a general or only as a common soldier. A wise leader understand well how to control and direct zeal with good effect, but a foolish leader places a damper on the zeal of his followers. Yesterday the natal day of our great republic was celebrated with appropriate exercises in most of the country towns of the Northwest, while in the large cities a general holiday was observed and family picnics OLD GLORY. were numerous. The demonstration on the part of the local Japanese was the most elaborate in and about Seattle. Patriotic speeches were made at the day exercises and fireworks were the order of the evening. 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. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for King County.

The Colman Sisters Recitation ..... Olivene Lucas Recitation ..... Alice Leslie Song ..... Juvenile Club The address by Rev. Drew of Portland, Oregon, was timely and much was to be learned from his brief remarks by the old as well as the young. He especially directed his words to the young women of the race along matrimonial lines. He said that the world allowed and allows so much more to a man than it does to a woman, but that is no reason why we, as individuals, should allow any more. Aim high and have nothing but the very best. Be well assured that the man you are taking for your life companion is well your equal, not in one way, but in many ways. The future of the race remains to you, young girls, yes, to you and your children. Then be careful as to your choice while you are young. Rev. Drew said a great many more things that would help the race in many ways if those who heard him would only take heed. PERSONAL.

The wedding took place at the home of the bride's father, Mr. Charles Prim, 519 Twenty-seventh Avenue S. Owing to the conditions of the weather there were not as many present at the lawn party given by Mrs. Fred Mitchell as she had expected; however, those present report a very pleasant evening. The receipts are for the benefit of the A. M. E. church rally. Owing to the meeting of the Masonic Grand Lodge in Tacoma there will be no meeting of the Puget Sound Lodge No. one hundred and nine I. B. P. O. E. of W. on Thursday, July 11, but all members are requested to be present on July 18th. The Lotus Club gave a dance on the evening of the Fourth.

The Earl Burgess Company, at the Seattle Theater, is presenting "A Marked Woman" this week, and with marked success, if we may be allowed to use the sentence. The scenes of the play are laid in the celestial empire, China; a Chinese prince, of blood royal, becomes infatuated with a daughter of the United States minister at Pekin. Of course the young lady has a gallant lover in the person of Lieut. Allan Dare, of the United States navy, who attempts to rescue her from the Chinese villain, who is protected by no less a personage than the Empress of China. There are several diplomatic scenes and contraverses in the play; also several rescues, and attempted rescues, that afford the actors opportunities for brilliant climaxes. There is also enough reference to "Old Glory" to make the patriotic scream louder than the Fourth of July eagle does. People that go to the Seattle theater to be entertained are, and when the Earl Burgess company finish their season, several weeks hence, it will be recorded to their credit that they have scored the biggest melodramatic success that has ever been achieved in a Seattle theater, i. e., if they keep on presenting such excellent plays as they have BON MARCHE THE BON MARCHE ...LHE G ..BON M THE BON MARCHE THE BON MARCHE THE BON MARCHE THE BON MARCHE THE BON MARCHE ...LHE GREATER... .BON MARCHE.. since their arrival here. "A Marked Woman" finishes the week on Saturday night. Next week, commencing on Sunday, July 7th, the Earl Burgess Company will present "A Man's Broken Promise," by Lillian Mortimer, the authoress of "No Mother to Guide Her," and if next week's play is as good as the former, the audience will certainly not complain. There is little doubt but that the Earl Burgess Company will score as great a success in "A Man's Broken Promise," as it has in other plays. For in these degenerate days when man's promise at the altar and woman's as well, appears to be made only to be broken, there is a series of opportunities for dramatic possibilities that will give the authoress all the scope needed. There is plenty of comedy to laugh at, enough heart interest, a little haunted house mystery and some pretty rural scenes in "A Man's Broken Promise," and "the good old summer time" won't make any difference in the attendance at the Seattle theater, for the people like the company now playing there.
