One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .60 Entered at the Postoffice at Sea .e, as Second Class Mail Mattes, It is quite evident that Idaho has had one Orchard that contained some rare specimens of the genus homo tree. Squires may have been a ____ of a man in Australia, but when Burns landed on him he went to pieces before he got started. English people eat on an average of thirteen pounds of butter in a year and the amount of butterine not even considered. At Ocean Grove, New Jersey, neither chewing gum or tobacco is permitted to be sold. Rag chewing must have certainly gone the limit in that resort. It's an easy matter to precipitate a race riot in New York city, if you will only get a policeman mixed up with a Negro, Italian or a Jew, and it's all due to the cussedness of the Mick. A reunion of the men who framed the constitution of the state of Washington should prove a most interesting meeting, and as many as possible of those who took part in these proceedings should be at the reunion. The "dove of peace" may be getting in its good work at The Hague conference just now, but Uncle Sam is sending a flock of peace doves to the Pacific waters, and no one realizes the real significance of their appearance more fully than Japan. Daddy Clayson boasted of the fact that he called on Ben Tillman while the latter was in Seattle a few days ago, and it is well that he did, for they are two of a kind. Hell will never have gotten its own until the two scums of the earth herein mentioned have been kicked into it, and the sooner the better. Representative William Sultzer thinks Roosevelt will be the Republican nominee for president and Bryan the Democratic nominee, and that he, Sultzer, Democrat though he is, will support Roosevelt in preference to Bryan. Sultzer's heart may be in the right place, but he has always been off politically speaking. The enforcement of the unwritten law may be brain storm, as some editor has published, but it's a kind of brain storm that has been SEATTLE, WASHINGTON JULY 12, 1907. in existence so long that it is a fixed wind. The man who will deliberately ruin a man's young daughter deserves death, and the father should shoot him on sight, and that, too, without any regard as to what subsequently happens to himself, legally or otherwise. "Raising the dust" is not near so hard to do these days and times as some years ago, and especially if the fellow has an automobile and is doing the country roads for a change. Notwithstanding the fact that County Assessor Parish has raised the assessments of the corporations, the wise ones say that when Dan Abrams and his equalization board gets through with Parish his figures will look like thirty cents with a hole in it. It is said that Jesse R. Grant, son of the immortal Ulysses S. Grant, has his eye on the Democratic nomination for the presidency, with the hope of succeeding Roosevelt. With Taft, the Republican nominee for president, Grant would get at least 95 per cent. of all the Negro votes of this country. General Cosgrove having gone home, it is high time that Governor Mead take up his abode at the Arlington hotel of this city, if he is really camping on Cosgrove's trail. Cosgrove had a pretty run for his money during his three weeks' stay in Seattle, and the governor will have to go some if he overtakes him. For American Negroes to give the Japanese moral encouragement or support against the United States government is simply swapping the devil for the witch. The Negro is a million times better off under Anglo-Saxon rule than he would be under Japanese rule, the ravings of Ben Tillman to the contrary notwithstanding. The man or woman who is foolish enough to take a newspaper tip as to the outcome of a horse race is too big a fool to be at large, and certainly too big a fool to have money to spend at will, but with all of man's superior intelligence some one of them periodically will buy a gold brick, and why not the women take a tip on the races. It is said that Mrs. Frederick D. Grant, wife of Major-General Grant, stationed at Governor's Island, New York, has established herself as the leader of army society, which is creating all kinds of jealousy and social broils. This thing society is doing more to disrupt the army of the United States than anything else. If the United States ever drifts into a one man government it will be done by the army route. The army of this country is far more damnable than useful, and if it was disbanded the country would be just as well off. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN PRICE TEN CENTS. Mayor Schmitz objected to being lectured by the trial judge while being sentenced. That, perhaps, was not the first time the mayor had to take in a lecture that was by no means interesting to him. J. D. Rockefeller knew so little about the Standard Oil Company that we are doubting if he owns a single share in that concern. He must not, or he would certainly know whether it paid a dividend last year or not. The Boxers not only boxed the Ankenyites in the primaries, but they boxed the Democrats at the polls like sardines. If Senator Ankeny does not see his finish by this time, it is evidently because his eyesight is fast failing. From the amount of demonstration the San Francisco folk indulged in when Judge Dunne sent Mayor Schmitz to the penitentiary for five years, it looks as though they thought it was a case of good riddance of bad rubbish. Mayor Schmitz sends forth an edict from his prison cell to the effect that "I will again be a candidate for mayor and that I have no doubt but that I will be elected by an overwhelming majority." Evidently he is going on the theory, "it's hard to keep a good man in." "Too Much War in the Nation's School Books" is a headline emanating from the National Educational Association, now in session at Los Angeles. Yes, and too much fuss and flurry over soldiers and army officers by the citizens, and, finally, too much gorgeous military display on all sides for the real good of the common folk. About every other day one can see a flaming headline in the daily papers, "Going After the Trusts," and yet the trusts go on and on and never stop. The consumer continues to pay extortionate prices for everything he uses, and yet somebody is always pretending to be going after the trusts with the view of giving the cumsumer financial relief. Away with such tommyrot, as he will be dead before the relief comes. "Shall Pictures Tell Stories?" is a headline. No, they should not, but somehow, just like man, they do it all the same. Man himself has practiced so much the nature to lie and deceive that he makes the very pictures, which are supposed to be the exact counterpart of the human being, lie like a dog. The pictures of some far-away relative or friend are sent back and the receiver is led to believe from them that a new person has been created in their relative or friend, when in fact it is simply the deception of the artist. One should appear as he or she is, no more nor no less. ```markdown ``` AMERICAN RACE DISCRIMINATION. The refusal of one of the leading hotels at Atlantic City, New Jersey, to accommodate two young Jewish ladies, for no other reason than because they were Jews, is still being widely discussed in Eastern papers, and especially by papers operated by Jews. "The Jew is a white man, and there is no excuse for such actions on the part of hotel keepers," reasons one publisher. To discriminate against a people on account of nationality or on account of his habits, which differ widely from your own or from a majority of the folk you expect as your guests, is always more or less excusable, but for one to base his or her right to go into places on the ground that his or her skin is white, though he or she may be nauseatingly objectional in personal appearance and general deportment, is, to say the least, a frail prop on which to place a foundation. So long as the Jew or any other nationality conforms to the general customs of a hotel there is neither excuse or justification for a hotel to refuse him accommodations, and such a condition of affairs does not exist in any other country in the world save in the United States. The citizens of the United States damn folk for being Jews, Japanese, Chinese, Italians or Negroes, as though those persons were responsible for the hue of their skins or the hooks of their noses, and just as though these imperfections, from a white man's standpoint, had anything to do with their action while being the guest of some public inn, place of accommodation or amusement. Throughout the United States, if one can only pose as a "white man" he will have no trouble, but if he is suspected of having black blood in his veins, then hell is to pay, despite the fact that he may give every appearance of being one of the most refined and polished gentlemen in the land. * * * The Negro was enslaved in the United States for no other reason than because he had a black skin, and he is still being persecuted and insulted throughout the length and breadth of this country because his skin is black, and that, too, despite the fact that he gives every evidence of being just as susceptible to the refining influences of the higher state of civilization as the most effete Anglo-Saxon. We have a very brilliant illustration of a mental inferior and social degenerate insulting his superior because the former could boast of being a "white man" in the proprietor of a local lodging house in Seattle known as the Lincoln hotel, in his declaration that his hotel would not accommodate the three Negro trustees of the Christian Endeavor Association, because he did not approve of Negroes staying in hotels with white folks. Either of these gentlemen has forgotten more in education, refinement and common decency than Proprietor Blackwell not only has ever known, but more than he has the capacity of ever learning, and yet, with all the airs of a king of England, he pulls himself up by his "galluses" and issues the edict, "Niggers Not Received at My Hotel." Aside from the fact that the community has been so unfortunate as to permit such a disreputable cur to get control of a place of public accommodation, where it is possible THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN for him to come in contact with human beings, the Negro who would be found associating with such a monster would certainly be considered of a very low and degenerate origin by both black and white folk. Persons making application for such should not depend on whether they are white or black, Jew or Gentile, but on whether or not they will conform to the customs of the hotel, and whether or not their characters are such as to justify the proprietor in permitting them to mingle with the acceptable guests of the hotel. * * * Notwithstanding the fact that the Lincoln hotel absolutely refused to entertain the three colored trustees of the Christian Endeavor Association, all of whom are the highest types of the colored American, yet all of the darker races from foreign lands are being quartered at the Lincoln, and thus the Blackwell aggregation prefer a lot of jabbering heathens to people of their own flesh and blood, of their own tongue and of their own customs and habits. These are some of the strange things to be found among the American folk. * * * The great bulk of the white citizens of this country are not inclined to always be throwing up to the darker races the fact that their skins are white, with the view of impressing them that that alone makes the possessor thereof great, without he or she having to put forth any effort either mentally or otherwise, but a large minority of them do so and the majority tolerate the same, and in many instances actually suppress their own feelings in the matter rather than give his colorphobia neighbor offense. One rather self-important colorphobia fool will go into a community of Caucasians that have always been as just and liberal to the Negro as with themselves, and in a comparatively short time cause a complete revolution in such community in the treatment of black folk that have for years enjoyed the most pleasant social relations among their white neighbors. "Oh, my mamma says I must not play with you because you are a nigger," may be heard coming from some little innocent white child addressing some equally innocent colored child, whose parents are able to buy and sell the parents of the white child, and which little colored child give tenfold evidence as the mental and moral superior of the white child. This is all due to the false and likewise foolish teachings of the parents, who think human greatness is dependent on the color of one's skin, rather than on his or her mental and moral qualifications. If all this is done to prevent the miscegenating of the white and black races, it reminds one of the fellow straining at a gnat and then swallowing a calem without hesitation. Despite the fact that "My ma says I must not play with you because you are a nigger," yet judging from the millions of mulatoes in the United States, there has been a whole lot of playing going on between the whites and blacks, and the white man has hardly the audacity to charge it up to the white woman. Look upon a man as a man, irrespective of his race, color, creed of nationality, and the world will be a thousand times more happy as well as Christlike, and it will go grandly on to the millennium, which has been promised by Him who doeth all things well. * * * Bearing on the Jewish situation the following seems to be a full and frank statement on the part of both the Gentile and the Jew: "We do refuse to accept many people, both Jews and non-Jews, because, for personal reasons, their presence in our resort house would be unacceptable to persons of refinement and culture, but our action in this respect is something entirely distinct from any question of race, and has the approbation of all our guests, both Jews and non-Jews. "There is another and entirely distinct proposition, the confusion of the one above mentioned with which has occasioned all the offensive color in the publication regarding the Frank incident. This proposition is one of pure business, and is as follows: The Jews are a very clannish people, and if they like a resort house they will recommend it to their friends and relatives with such success that in a very little while the house will be filled with people of the Jewish race to the exclusion of all others and will become known as catering exclusively to this race. In over twenty years' experience we have seen this occur a great many times in resort houses, and the business effect in the long run is universally unsatisfactory and usually disastrous. For this business reason strictly it has been our policy to discourage our Jewish guests in their efforts to procure accommodations for their friends and also to discourage applications from Jews not known to us or of whom we have no knowledge." The American Hebrew and Jewish Messenger (New York) remarks: "The real fact is that this state of affairs does not really imply religious discrimination even on the part of hotelkeepers, who place the objectionable headings on their correspondence paper. With them it is purely a matter of business, and the business aspect of the situation implies rather some objection on the part of the Jews themselves to passing their summer solely and entirely in the company of their fellow Jews. Experience has shown to the hotelkeeper that by encouraging the custom of 'Hebrews,' whom he finds to be excellent customers, he attracts more and more of them the second and third years, till the whole building is filled with them, and then the following year scarcely any Jews resort to his establishment. In other words, it is the Jews themselves in many instances who appear to object to resort to hotels where there are very many Jews, and this appears to be at the root of the whole evil." A German has invented a hot air fan which is proving quite a success in such places as electricity has not been introduced, the hot air being generated by an ordinary coal oil lamp. That machine ought to prove a great success in the United States, owing to the oversupply of hot air politicians, who would not have to use the lamp for power to run the same. JACOB FURTH, JACOB FURTH, The Banker and Promoter. THE PASSING THRONG Jacob Furth, the leading promoter and banker of the Northwest, returned from the East a few days ago, whither he went in connection with some of his many financial interests, and says: "I fear no financial distress in this country any ways soon or at any time, so far as I am able to see at this writing." In reply to a question as to whether he thought this section of the country would have any financial setbacks he replied: "I don't think so. Perhaps Florance Marvin knows more about such matters, however, than I do, and for safety I would suggest that you consult her. We are safe and sound and things are going to move on just as they have been doing. Perhaps for a while not quite so many corner lots will be sold, but that will have no influence on either the money markets or the commercial enterprises. I am satisfied with the outlook" * * * J. Edward Hawkins, the well known attorney, who is also a leading secret society man, will leave in a few days for Chicago, where he will attend the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Elks. Within the past six months Mr. Hawkins and others organized a local order of Elks in this city, and it is claimed by the members and officers thereof that it is one of the most thriving secret societies among the Afro-Americans of this city. One of the things that Mr. Hawkins will work to bring about when the Grand Lodge is in session is reuniting the two branches of Elks, which split some time ago over what he thinks can be peacefully overcome and settled. If there is one thing that Hawkins is famous for it is his mixing qualities when he is out with the boys, and if all reports be true the Elks know how to mix, and when they get corralled they never fail to mix good and plenty, but Eddie promises to leave his "blade" at home, as he has been given the tip that the other fellows would do likewise, hence no serious results will occur by the too free mixing of the horned tribe. *** A story is going the rounds among the boys in Seattle about Barrister Hawkins that's too good to keep. It seems that both J. E. Hawkins and Edw. K. Hawkins, both attorneys, have offices in the Pacific block, and both occasionally have a client. It would appear that if there ever was a man that has a dangerous dose of colorphobia it is Edw. K. Hawkins, the pale-faced attorney, and he is repeatedly losing his temper by some person walking into his office and asking for J. E. Hawkins. He even loses his temper over the telephone, for once on a time he roasted Senator Richie Kinnear without knowing it to a queen's finish because the senator got the two Hawkins mixed up. The other day a white lady walked into the office of J. E. Hawkins (this is nothing unusual, however) and asked of the stenographer was Mr. Hawkins in. "Not this minute, but will be in a very few minutes," was her reply. The lady was invited into the private office and told to take a seat to await the coming of Mr. Hawkins. Pretty soon he came and walked into the private office and closed the door behind him. He spoke to the lady, but before seeking to know her business began plundering about in his JAC The Ban desk on some other important matter. The lady observed his actions and soon began to scream bloody murder. "Help! help!" she shouted, and so loudly that Mr. Hawkins himself became alarmed and opened the door and called a couple of men from across the hall into his office, believing that his expected client had gone suddenly mad. When asked what was the matter she said: "I came to see Mr. Hawkins and this Negro has come in here and closed the door behind him and is parading around the office the same as if he owned it. I was fearful lest he do me bodily harm." The horse laugh was on Eddie, and when the explanation was made to the lady she looked as cheap as a copper cent and crept up to the office of Edw. K. Hawkins, while J. E. and the two men went down stairs to some retreat where the weary are soon at rest. Former Senator John L. Wilson was in the East a few weeks ago, and he himself says since he has returned he had the trip of his life, his wedding tour not excepted. At Mr. Wilson's home college the degree of L.L. D was conferred upon him, and Dr. Wilson now smiles all over his face when you so address him. While in the East he could not resist the temptation to run over to Washington City and visit for a few days with old friends, and while there the editor of the Saturday Evening Post got hold of him and made him say things. The editor said more things by far than Mr. Wilson, and here are some of the things he said: If you should happen into the Rainier Club in Seattle some day, along about luncheon- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN *** time, and should hear a series of noises like this: "Thump—biff—biff—b-a-n-g!" that would be John L. Wilson saying: "Good morning; it's a fine day." John L. is the Human Stump Speech. He is the Personified Exclamation Point. He never says anything without emphasis, and when he tries to be real forceful he blows up like a powder magazine where a calloused workman who has been making skyrockets tries to light his pipe with a fuse. He is at his best when sitting at a table, because he has something to pound on. If he has no table to pound on he will pound on you, just as cheerfully, which will not make so much noise as a table, unless you happen to be a particularly hard case-or have one-but will supply the basis for the accentuation just as well. Wilson hates peace. He welcomes animosity. He will fight at the drop of the hat, and, if hats are not dropping frequently enough, he will take steps to drop a few. When he isn't fighting he is unhappy, and when he is fighting many other people are unhappy. His crest is a bantam rooster. His motto is: "Lay on, MaeDuff!" and his battle cry is: "Eat 'em alive!" He has been fighting ever since he has been in Washington, and he is fighting yet. He will be fighting so long as there is any breath in him. Sometimes he gets whipped—gets whipped ferociously—but that is all a part of the game. The glory of the combat has been his, even if his political eyes are blackened and his robe of office has both tails torn off and is ripped up the back. CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION JULY 4th 1889 OLYMPIA, WASH. Hon. W. F. Prosser, Judge John P. Hoyt and the Hon. S. G. Cosgrove, all members of the Constitutional Convention for the state of Washington, have issued a call for a reunion of all the members of that convention, as may be sen below. Many of the members thereof have long since died and some few have drifted to other parts of the country, and whether living or dead is not known. It should be a happy coming together and one of rare interest to the state in general The accompanying cut will show the reader the pictures of the various members of that convention, many of whom are still living in the state and quite a few in Seattle. S. G Cosgrove is still active in the political affairs of the state and is a candidate for the gubernatorial nomination and election to succeed the present incumbent, whose time expires January, 1909. The call for the reunion is as follows: "Notice is hereby given that a meeting of those surviving officers and members of the Constitutional Convention of the state of Washington as may find it convenient to attend, will be held at the office of Hon. J. P. Hoyt, room 512 Bailey Building, in the city of Seattle, on the 12th day of July, 1907, to consider a call for a reunion of those officers and members in the year 1909 in the city of Seattle, to be held at the time of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The 4th day of July, 1909, will be the twentieth anniversary of the first meeting of that convention, and it is thought altogether probable that a proposition to meet at that time will be favorably THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION A, WASH. considered by a large proportion of its surviving members. A preliminary meeting is therefore, called to consider the matter, to be held as above stated at the hour of 2 p. m. (Signed) "JOHN P. HOYT. WILLIAM F. PROSSER. S. G. COSGROVE. T. L. STILES. The Seattle, Washington, Republican has issued a Northwest Negro Progress number, which excels anything of the kind that we have ever seen put forth by the Afro-American press. Our good friend, M. M. Lewey, of Florida, has been far ahead in this kind of journalistic enterprise, and is the only competitor of this Northwest journal in this field of endeavor. It may be that our friend Lewey has equalled this, but he certainly has not exceeded it. We congratulate these citizens of color, and join with them in saying, "Go West, young man!" As for ourselves, we shall stay South.—Richmond Planet. The prominent Negroes of Chicago contemplate in the very near future opening a bank for the patronage of the Negroes of that city. The bank will have Negro officials, capital and stockholders, and of course will expect support from the colored population. This movement is backed by such men as Dr. Wilbeforce Williams, L. L. Jones and Sandy Price. Not unlike the Negroes of the Sunny South (Jackson, Miss.) who have and are at present operating a bank managed exclusively for and by the colored people, ```markdown ``` these Chicago folk see the immediate need of making their money and trusting the keeping of the same to members of their own race if not themselves.

Editor Republican: I arrived in this city a few days ago and, agreeable to your request, write you concerning conditions a this place. San Francisco is indeed running in hard luck, and the chances are that it will take a long time for her to get straightened out again. So far as rebuilding is concerned, that has gone forward with remarkable celerity, but the labor unions have become so domineering that people look for a lull in rebuilding. The walls and floors of the high-grade, well-built structures went through the fire with but little resulting damage, and many of these are again repaired and occupied, so that rebuilding in the mercantile district has made an excellent showing. Don't think that San Francisco will not rebuild. Like all great destructions of cities in the past in the United States, San Francisco will rise again and a greater and more beautiful city will be the result. The Labor Union party has governed San Francisco for more than five years last past, and it has probably taught her people that the members of the various labor organizations are all right so long as they confine their efforts to the work that they are competent to perform, but that governing a city of four hundred thousand is better left to the care of others than carpenters, brick masons and drivers of bakery and delivery wagons. The people are very anxious to get rid of the grafting outfits, but it is hard to let go. However, there will soon be an election, when the voters will no doubt take a day off and clean up. Schmitz, the alleged mayor, is in jail, but he is very much dissatisfied and is pining for release. Reuf, the dehroned boss, and who plead guilty and squealed to get a light sentence, is under guard. A man named Gallagher, a brother of a man of that name who was a court reporter in Seattle back in 1892, is the acting mayor. He is one of the supervisors. The men who perform the functions of a city council in Washington are called supervisors in that city. The whole board, with one or two exceptions, including Gallagher, have confessed to numerous instances of bribe-taking. Of course, many people who are not on the ground will wonder why these men are kept in office, but the prosecution of these cases are in good and honest hands and are no doubt moving as fast as is practicable, and these dishonest officials will soon get their time. Just now the people are looking for a man for mayor, and when he is found, if they can keep Schmitz in jail, a change will occur in that office. The street car strike has been on in this city for two months, and the damage done cannot be estimated. It has forced some firms into bankruptcy and paralyzed every other class of occupation and business, not excepting the saloons. The street car company and its employes arbitrated their differences only a few months before this strike. From all that I can gather, the strikers lack the sympathy of the public, and the strikers are bound to lose. The police of San Francisco is a nasty, rotten outfit and sympathize with the strikers. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The grand jury has forced the police to action and violence is gradually disappearing. I must mention two incidents that occurred yesterday. One was a riot way out on Sixteenth street. The blocks are long in this city, and sixteen blocks takes one out further than in Seattle. But little damage was done. The police seems to have done its duty, in part. On such occasions, when the riot is quelled, they arrest all the strike breakers in sight. Down on Marget street, near the ferry, a hack driver was comfortably situated on his seat. A strike-breaking bumblebee flew into the left ear of his only horse. There was something doing forthwith. The horse torc the harness to pieces, broke the shafts loose from the buggy, kicked the driver in the stomach below the belt, knocked a satchel out of a pedestrian's hand, and in many other ways showed a lack of good disposition and temper. When all this damage was done, the bumblebee emerged from the horse's ear and complacently flew away. ARMINIUS. ARMINIUS. BORROWED THOUGHTS. It has recently been discovered that there are more than 1,100 post offices in the State of Washington and 111 in Alaska. New York City, through the kindness of the New York City-Railway Company, is for the convenience of the working girls erecting a summer hotel made from street cars that can be used no longer by the company. Miss Sarah Wilkes, a young colored girl attending the Nantuckett high school, of Chicago, out of a class of eight girls and three boys, stood head of her class, with an average of ninety-five per cent in all of her studies. Miss Wilkes, aside from delivering the valedictory, will present the class prophecy. That "only Negroes born, bred and educated in the South need apply for the posi- Races tion of teacher in the public colored schools of Nashville" was the conclusion arrived at by the Nashville election board recently. We do not think this proposition an overly hard one. LYRIC THEATER ...ONE WEEK... Starting Sunday Matinee, July 14, RUSSELL & DREW. Present The Dandy Dixie Minstrels and ...Cotton Pickers' Band...

Miss Emily Houston will leave the city in a few days to be gone some little time visiting with friends. John T. Gayton has opened an icecream and soda water parlor on Twenty-seventh and Madison. Each and every one is invited to call with or without price. On Sunday, July 21st, at Kennydale, Wash., there will be a regular old time "Feast in the Wilderness." They are expecting a large crowd and assure you of a very pleasant day. The feast is given by the Kennydale First Baptist Church and the proceeds will go for the benefit of the church. On Monday evening of last week under the supervision of Mr. John Fort was given a most interesting musical treat. The programme was one of the best rendered here for some time. Mrs. Lucy E. Clark and Miss Clifford Freeman of Tacoma kindly lent their able assistance for the evening, which was greatly appreciated. The proceeds were to assist in the entertainment of the delegates that may be here for th Christian Endeavor convention. Rev. W. T. Johnson of Richmond, Va., who is one of the three colored trustees of the Christian Endeavor, is quartered at the Washington hotel. "I like the looks of your country and I have read with much interest a copy of the Northwest Negro Progress number and was pleased to note that Negro help was in demand out here. I believe I can help you to get some and will be pleased to try," said he last Wednesday. He speaks next Sunday afternoon. Next Sunday and all next week Seattle will have a new star actress in conjunction with the Earl Burgess Company. Miss Emma Bunting, possibly the most petite little actress on the American stage today, who has starred throughout the East in conjunction with one of the Earl Burgess companies for several years, will, by special arrangement, be seen at the Seattle theatre, for the next several week. "The House of Mystery" will be the play in which she will make her Seattle debut next Sunday. It is not only a splendid play, new to Seattle, but it contains elements not usually found in plays seen at popular priced houses. Miss Bunting possesses personal magnetism that will be sure to make her a favorite aside from her talents. The Lyric theatre will be reopened next Sunday afternoon, July 14th, with the famous "Dandy Dixie Minstrels," under the management of Voelckel & Noland, who have managed Black Patti's Troubadors for years, and who, for wealth, are known as the Barnum and Bailey of genuine Negro minstrels. There are between thirty and forty members of "Dandy Dixie Minstrels"; they come here direct from the million dollar New York Theatre Roof Garden, where they have appeared for several years as a fixture amusement enterprise in Manhattan. The company arrives here over the C. P. R. R. by way of British Columbia, where they have carried the country by storm. They were originally booked at the Seattle theatre for the week of the 21st. As the Earl Burgess Company occupies that theatre all summer, they THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN were transferred by Messrs. Russell & Drew to the Lyric, and given the largest guarantee ever given to a minstrel company on the Pacific Coast. People who witness the "Dandy Dixie Minstrel" performances at the prices charged at the Lyric theatre, will be getting such good value for their money that they will urge their neighbors to go, and those woh expect to see the show at the Lyric next week and do not secure their seats several days [Picture of a woman with curly hair, wearing a light-colored shirt and a dark tie.] MISS EMMA BUNTING Dainty New York Comenienne, who opens at Seattle Theatre Sunday, July 14th. in advance, are very likely to be disappointed or unable to get into the theatre at any price, for the only fault with this, Seattle's newest playhouse, is its lack of capacity; otherwise it is a little gem of a theatre, in acoustics, comfort and coolness. Lewis & Lake return to the Lyric theatre on July 21st. They will have practically a new organization, on the same lines as the former. A Pride of New York Musical Comedy Company comes to the Lyric theatre August 4th. The company is now en route from the East, being one of the few attractions thta left New York in May for a tour of the Northwest, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. COMPANY "A," CHRISTIAN EN DEAVORERS. Goodness is the source of true happiness. When you meet the temptation consider the degradation. At best a temptation is only a veiled insult to your person. Some of the greatest trials may prove our greatest blessings. If the reward is the only incentive, the main point is missed. When a man loses his self-respect, he is ripe for degradation. Perform the present duties; the hereafter will take care of itself. There is no beauty to compare with the face of an innocent child. A good character can be gained without inflicting a loss on others. There is only one way to command respect, and that is to deserve it. Some will know what really exists, while others will never know, alas! God's universe was bathed in har2 AD REPUBLICAN Gamble mony; but Satin intruded and created discord. The good are thrown among the evil not only to uplift, but also to be tried and tested. Something can be said in favor of the transgressor, who refrains from tempting others. A religion that enslaves men's wills and consciences exacts more than God requires. When you come to the parting of the ways, do you turn aside to follow the heedless throng? If you are honestly seeking to make the way clear for others, you deserve to be blessed. When a religious organization compromises with falsehood, it loses much of its efficiency. When religion is in league with the oppressor, how can it enjoy the confidence of the oppressed? Actions reveal the real nature of the man, and not professions and outward appearances. A man's character can be gauged by his attitude toward any good person or laudable work. O, the unspeakable peace and serenity that come to those who have found the true way of life! Spiritual wisdom and earthly wisdom bear a close resemblance; but there is a wide difference between them. If I live a true life, the forces of nature are not my superior; they may destroy my body, but not my spirit. It is better to lose honestly than to win fraudulently, and far more profitable in the end. We grow humble as we advance in knowledge, because we realize more vividly our limitations. If the study of history was more general, there would be fewer religious cults; for hard facts upset many a plausible theory. Ambition estimates its success by the height it can attain; true greatness by the benign influence it can wield. If the curtain should lift, how would you be equipped for the scene that would open on the other side of existence? There was a point of time when Evil entered the universe; there will also come a time when it shall depart ignominiously. One reason why the religious life does not appeal so strongly as it might to others is because so many of its professors "say but do not." If you should lose, while engaged in a worthy contest, learn to rejoice with the winner; this may seem hard, but it can be done. If after honest and diligent search you have not found your vocation, be content to think that Providence has ordained otherwise. There is at least one thing to which we can lay a rightful claim of ownership—our character; for it is largely of our own creation. Any one may become rich by exercising unduly one faculty at the expense of others; but what sane man is willing to pay such a price? If a man can subdue his vices and evil habits, he is a good soldier; if he can overcome inharmonious conditions he is a conqueror. Too many souls are "saved" and then allowed to shift for themselves as best they can, until they relapse to their former condition. The goal beyond is more attractive than the one within reach, which shows that we are creatures of limitation seeking a larger growth and sphere. It is amusing sometimes to see the intellect struggling with a great spiritual truth and striving to make it conform to the narrow limitations of an untrained human understanding. When you are about to do a despicable act, ask yourself this question: "Is this of my own free will, or am I acting as the agent and blind tool of some evil agency?"
