John L. Wilson did it. With European nations finding excuses to celebrate on the Fourth of July, it begins to look as if Nature has set it apart as a devil's harvest day. Seattle's experts' reports seem to impress those who knew "honest" John Riplinger in his official capacity as having been a rather cheerful thief. "Girls Will Be Girls," says a headline. And there are no objections to them being girls, but we hate to see them try to be boys instead of girls. The mayor of Spokane has signed an ordinance closing the pool rooms of that city. Of the plug-uglies of the Northwest it can be truly said, "sic transit gloria." Move on. That it was a mistake to bring the Christian Endeavor convention to Seattle even Barth and Virtue now admit. Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will have no other. Who the duce would have a franchise that was secured by the paying of "thirteen" anything for it? If Sam Hill got it for that he is welcome to it so far as the average person is concerned. The Seattle Republican's changed style this week might lead you, dear readers, to thing that the management hase gone camping, but in that you are quite mistaken. It is the other fellow. Said Dr. Mead to Candidate Garf Cosgrove, who is seriously sick of gubernatorial fever: "Let me see your tongue. Yes, you have been using it too much, and I prescribe a long rest in the country." Walla Walla may not be a boom town, but within the past twelve months it has erected $750,000 worth of new buildings. Suppose that city should boom a little, then, pray what would the figures be? --- SEATTLE. WASHINGTON JULY 19, 1907. Senator Hopkins of Illinois favored Reed Smoot in his fight to retain his seat in the United States Senate, and now Hopkins is threatened with the loss of his own seat for his devotion to Smoot. President Roosevelt may have gone altogether too far in the prosecution of the trusts, but the poor consumers do not quite wholly agree with such human sympathizers as the Rockefellers and the Harrimans. The most unkindest cut of all was administered to Ben Tillman by the Spokesman- Review, which compared him to a circus clown or like unto a court jester, and it might have added Uncle Sam's damphool. Pure food may be quite conducive to long life, but if the trust is to put the price of it so high that the poor man will not be able to buy it, then he will die sooner by trying to get pure food than he will by using the adulterated stuffs. "Don't Tolerate Crooked Lawyers," says a headline. We do not, but they seem to possess the faculty to butt in nolenes volens, but persons who do not do things on the square should not be tolerated, whether lawyers, doctors or Indian chiefs. Hard times are more or less due to the fact that the newspapers and financiers continue to predict that the country is going to have hard times in the very near future, and some even go further and declare that hard times are verily on us. Seat, you cuss! Women of Western Washington are threatening to take to the wheat fields unless a supply of harvest hands show up pretty quick. What's the use of hesitating, ladies, your betters did so before you were born or even thought of, and why not you? During the summer vacations persons desiring to do business with the President of the United States are laconically told to "Write It" by Secretary Loeb. Evidently President Roosevelt has a sneaking idea that he has some time that the politicians should respect. Seattle is having the coolest July for many years, which must be due to the Christian Endeavor convention in the city, which has made it so very uncomfortable for the old devil that he has moved on and permitted things to cool up a bit, or it is due to the frigidity of Charles Warren Fairbanks. Secretary Pratt, of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce, has pronounced the National Prohibition Convention a "freak," and the local Prohibitionists are quite indignant. It seems to us a wilful waste of good nature for ```markdown ``` PRICE TEN CENTS. any sane man to become indignant at any thing that Pratt might say or do. Of course, Haywood would declare that Orchard lied, as his own neck depends on the truth or falsity of Orchard's statements; but, on the dead, however, Orchard strikes us as being the most monumental liar and murderer the country has known of since Murrel of Mississippi river fame was out on his famous tour of murder. Here is an excerpt from the Davenport Tribune funny enough to make the proverbial Indian smile: "Is the Hon. Wesley L. Jones afraid that the district will go Democratic at the next election?" A district in the state of Washington go Democratic!—which is a most preposterous, absurd, ridiculous, damphool proposition that we have ever seen in print. Luna Park Unfair says a headline in the Union Record. Evidently the gatekeeper would not let the brother pass through the gates unless he paid just like the other fellow, or perhaps the management refused to give the advertising man a contract for so many inches per. These things seem to go a long ways toward a newspaper man's opinion of what is fair or unfair. Former political bosses of this state are beginning to meet to discuss the political situation and learn if they can where they are. Permit us to inform you, my dear fellows, that you are between the devil and the deep sea, as the people in the coming election are going to nominate and elect the very fellows that you do not want. Paste this in your hat and it may save you some money and worry. Good things are still being said about the Northwest Negro Progress Number of The Seattle Republican, and we have no objections to the good work going right on and on. It remained for those having charge of the Christian Endeavor banquet to be the first in the Northwest to ever place such Negroes attending public functions at separate tables to be served. If there ever was a dirty gang those so-called Christians seem to be the limit. A Catholic priest is of the opinion that it was the cussedness of President Roosevelt that led to the conviction of Mayor Schmitz. The president was so anxious to find evidence against Harriman that the crookedness of the mayor was stumbled upon. It's too bad that there is not a Harriman in all of the principal cities of this country that investigation could not be instituted, that the mayors and officials in general thereof get a dose like unto that recently administered to Schmitz, as they all seem liable. YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WOULD APPRECIATE A COPY OF THE Northwest Negro Progress Number AS NOTHING ELSE YOU MIGHT SEND THEM FROM THE NORTHWEST The Seattle Republican 215 MARION STREET PHONE MAIN 305 MASONIC GRAND LODGE The Most Worshipful (African) Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of the state of Washington and jurisdiction met at the Odd Fellows' hall in the city of Tacoma Tuesday, July 9th, 1907, at 10:30 a.m., Grand Master J. C.-Logan presiding, a majority of the appointive and elective officers and a constitutional member of the lodge representatives being present. The Grand Master opened the Grand Lodge in ample form. At this session of the Grand Lodge, Trinity Lodge of Seattle, Cascade Lodge of Roslyn and Guiding Star Lodge of North Yakima were absorbed by the Grand Lodge of Washington. In future this means that they will act in concert with the other chartered lodges of Washington, instead of under the jurisdiction of Iowa as heretofore. The Grand Lodge was entertained with speeches by A. R. Black, High Commissioner of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Iowa; James Shepperson, Past Senior Grand Warden of Iowa Grand Lodge; J. S. Chisholm, representative of Cascade Lodge, Roslyn; Joseph Lumme, Master of Guiding Star Lodge of North Yakima; J. Perkins, P. G. Senior Warden of the Grand Lodge of Colorado, and others. It was decided to drop the word "African" from the title and style of the Grand Lodge and insert "United," making the title read "The Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge of Washington and Jurisdiction." Portland, Oregon, was selected as the next place of meeting in July, 1908. It was decided to discountenance (in fact, it was forbidden) the giving of balls, dances, etc., in future in connection with the Grand Lodge. A grand reception was given the Grand Lodge Thursday night, July 11th, at Bankers' hall, at which the flower and beauty of Tacoma and many of Seattle's refined ladies and gentlemen lent their gracious presence. E. H. Holmes, of Spokane, presided as master of ceremonies at the reception, while J. E. Hawkins, of Seattle, installed the Grand Lodge officers, after which a splendid banquet was served. Resolutions of thanks were passed, thanking the people, the officers and members of Cassia Lodge and others for their kindness and many courtesies shown the Grand Lodge during its visit in Tacoma. A picnic was given by Rev. S. S. Freeman Friday under the auspices of the Sunday School, and many of the delegates stayed over and enjoyed one of the most pleasant days of their lives. The following officers were re-elected: J. C. Logan, Portland, Oregon, Grand Master; J. E. Hawkins, Seattle, Deputy Grand Master; E. Pettway, Spokane, Senior Grand Warden; Ben J. Angelle, Seattle, Junior Grand Warden; C. S. Parker, Spokane, Grand Secretary; W. D. Allen, Portland, Grand Treasurer; S. S. Freeman, Tacoma, Grand Lecturer. J. C. Logan of Portland, C. S. Parker and E. H. Holmes of Spokane were elected as delegates to the 100th centennial anniversary of the Reception of Its Charter of the Most Worshipful Prince Hal Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, which convenes in Boston September, 1908. After which the Grand Lodge was closed in ample form at 5 o'clock p. m. Thursday, July 11th, 1907. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN GRAND LODGE NOTES. The cry is now, "On to Portland in 1908." Eight big lodges in the jurisdiction and all working in harmony! J. E. Hawkins holds the world's record as an installing officer. His "splitem-spletum-splatum" went big with the crowd. The largest and best and most brainiest lot of distinguished Negro men and Masons that ever met in the state was heard on all sides. F. L. Wilson, C. S. Ryan and F. A. Stokes of Spokane were the ladies' men of the Grand Lodge and were general favorites of the fair sex. C. Ross of Spokane, formerly District Deputy Grand Master, came over and was an active and interested participant of the Grand Lodge proceedings. Spokane as usual excelled, sending the biggest delegation, the handsomest men, the most modest, painstaking, careful, skillful craftsmen in the jurisdiction. Joe B. Hagans of Spokane was heard to say when one of the ladies complained of being hit on the cheek by a mosquito that he wished he was that mosquito. Among the big men in attendance, both physically and mentally, were Walter Lawson, Spokane; J. S. Perkins, North Yakima, and Jim Shepperson of Roslyn. The happy men and women of Tacoma, together with the splendid homes and prosperity they enjoy, make it one of the best convention cities in the Northwest. YOUR Nobody could tell what Mr. J. B. Hagan's and C. C. Crawley's game was. Suffice it to say they were always "just gone" like the Irishman's flea whenever caught. J. C. Logan is an ideal Grand Master and his re-election is decidedly complimentary to the lodge at Portland and gratifying to the brethren throughout the jurisdiction. Seattle sent a bunch of beauties over to the Grand Lodge reception on Thursday night. There were so many fair ones that poor Stoke sand Ryan and Wilson were dazed. Benjamin Angelle of Seattle and Walter Scott of Spokane were the funny men of the Grand Lodge. They compelled laughter at all times by their droll sayings and inimitable wit. Messrs. Grant and Gales and High Commissioner A. R. Black of Seattle mingled with the delegates at Tacoma and did things for Trinity Lodge. The Grand Lodge is proud of such men. The people in Tacoma are princely entertainers. Mr. Asberry and Goldsborough and Sledge and Jones and Ed Moore and a host of others vied with the one with the other to see who could make it the most pleasant for the delegates. Jim Shepperson and Bro. Chisholm of Roslyn were as happy as two boys out on a lark. Cascade Lodge sent two grand old men of Masonry to the Grand Lodge when they sent Messrs. Shepperson and Chisholm as their representatives. The shortest speech of the Grand Lodge was made, it is said, by a Spokane member ae who, in thanking the people of Tacoma for all their courtesies, quoted Irving’s ‘‘happy lines,’ in that ‘‘He hoped they would all live long and prosper.”’ The picnic at Point Defiance was the glad- dest and happiest day that many of the dele- gates ever remember of seeing. There was rope jumping, singing, racing, eating games, rowing, bathing, launching, more eating and, as the follow says, ‘‘It was more fun than a Dutch pienie.’’ Annog the visiting ladies were Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Payne and Mrs. J. C. Logan of Portland, Mrs. E. H. Holmes and Mrs. Charles Parker and sister of Spokane, Miss Lewis of Wash- ington, D. C,, and Mrs. W. A. Ryan of Spo- kane. These ladies were interested specta- tors and did much to make the session the most notable in the history of the Grand Lodge. Joe Simms of North Yakima, J. Ed Haw- kins of Seattle, Fred, Thomas of Portland, and a certain member of the Spokane delega- tion looked after the appeals and grievances in the Grand Lodge, and some one said the boys were the ‘‘best ever,’’ in that Hawkins knew the law, Simms had the experience, Thomas had to be shown, and the man from Spokane was generally agin everything and everybody, thus making it impossible for a victim to escape them, as they worked like an old bear trap, ‘catching ‘em coming and going.”’ Will Turner of Tacoma and J. B. Hagans of Spokane were ‘‘old college chums’’ to- gether around Cincinnati, Ohio, when the state of Ohio was admitted to the Union. They met in Tacoma the other day, and Hagans said, ‘“‘Here, men, is a fellow that knew me when I was a little boy. He was then a young man. I am not so old as people say I am.’’ ‘‘Yes,’? Turner retorted, ‘‘my grandmother told me she did your washing and ironing when you were a young man, waiting table around the hotels at home. ib was too youthful to remember much, except Thad to go after and deliver your laundry.”’ The laugh was on Hagans. The question of age was left in ‘“‘statu quo,’’ as Hagans says. FOOLED NEW YORK’S ‘‘400.’’ Somewhat of a sensation has just been occasioned in the smart set of New York by assertions that they have been the victims of ‘‘the most fantastic faker that ever fooled the city.’’ Those outside the pale of the “400” are having a good laugh over the ex- posure of the alleged fraud. It is said that one of the lions of the smart set, who has been known as Antonio Apache, grandson of the famous chief, Cochise, and who has been extensively entertained by Mrs. John R. Drexel, Mrs. John Jacob Astor and others, is no other than the son of Mrs. Russell Sage’s Negro cook and that he began life as a Louisi- ana piceaninny under the obscure name of Tony Simpson. The ‘‘true identity’? of the man is now given on the authority of two well-known painters of Indian life, one of whom says that he is ‘‘not only a faker, but a scamp and the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN same Negro who stole a painting from me and in consequence served two years in Sing Sing prison.’’ If this alleged grandson of Chief Cochise is the fraud that he is now said to be, he must be a cunning one to have sueceeded in trading on the sympathies of the people be- fore whom he posed as an Indian. But New York’s smart set has at different times amused itself with so many grotesque fads and fancies that it is not likely to be greatly perturbed. Whether Indian or Negro, Anc tonio has proved an object of interest— Spokanes-Man-Review. i : NEGROES HONORED IN CAMBRIDGE. (From the New York Sun.) In Cambridge, Mass., Afro-Americans hold elective or appointive offices as follows: A black alderman, sitting in a board with ten white colleagues and elected by voters 95 per cent. of whom are white. Two Negro representatives in the legisla- ture, chosen by constituents in which the colored vote is relatively small. Seven members of the common council of African descent. A Negro chief of the fire department, in which he is the only man of color. A black policeman, patroling streets occu- pied mostly by white residents, for nineteen years in succession. A Negro at the head of city department of bacteriology. A Negro member of the publie library trustees, with all white associates. A black commander of a white post of the Grand Army. A woman of nearly pure African blood act- ine as principal of a grammar school in a fashionable district, with six white teachers and several hundred white pupils under her charge. AMERICAN RACE DISCRIMINATION. The refusal of one of the leading hotels at Atlantie 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 espe- cially 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 accom- modations, 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 re- sponsible for the hue of their skins or the point, had anything to do with their action while being the guest of some publie 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 perse- euted 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 illus- tration of a mental inferior and social degen- erate insulting his superior because the for- mer 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 accom- modate the three Negro trustees of the Chris- tian 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 faet that the community has been so unfortunate as to permit such a dis- reputable cur to get control of a place of publie accommodation, where it is possible for him to come in contact with human be- ings, the Negro who would be found associ- ating with such a monster would certainly be considered of a very low and degenerate origin by both black and white folk. Per- sons making application for suck 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. eae 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 aggre- gation prefer a lot of jabbering heathens to people of their own flesh and blood, of their own tongue and of their own customs and See Meee ee mie ae a EDITORIAL The farmers in the surrounding country to Seattle are pronouncing the commission men in this city common thieves, and if they tell the truth as to the treatment they are said to receive at the hands of the commission men every mother's son of them ought to be in the penitentiary instead of in their respective places of business. A Canadian was the first to nominate a Republican to succeed President Roosevelt in the person of Vice-President Fairbanks. Since Canadians have always favored the Democratic nominees for president of this country, may perhaps our country cousin is putting up a job on us by naming a man, he is morally certain would be defeated if nominated. Beware of Greeks come bearing gifts. "San Francisco's Strike Committee in Receipt of $30,000 Per Week for Car Men," says a Union Labor Record, which is to say the labor unions all over the country are contributing that much money that violence may be continued from day to day in that city on the part of the strikers. Let's hope the committee will not handle the funds as badly as did the earthquake committee handled theirs. POLITICAL The week just closing has been one of busy political scenes in this state, and many a political fortune has gone glimmering. Last Thursday one week ago one of the most remarkable bunches that have gotten together in many moons met at the Rathskeller with the King County Republican Club for luncheon, and short political talks was the order of the day. The gathering assumed phases of a national gathering, as Vice-President Charles Warren Fairbanks was present and said things for the few minutes he was before the club. That the friends of Fairbanks are hoping to send a delegation to the next Republican convention instructed to vote for him for the presidential nomination, and his friends being quite in the ascendency at that gathering, made many present think it was a rousing Fairbanks indorsement. While Secretary Taft had some strong advocates at that meeting, yet they were in the minority and had to sit and take their medicine like little men, which they did. * * * * * * Representing the Roosevelt administration was Secretary of the Interior James R. Garfield, who made a most pleasing address to the club and left a most favorable impression on those who heard him. Land Commissioner R. A. Ballinger was also present, and he, too, was heard from, and therefore the Roosevelt side did not lack for its advocates. Representative Wesley L. Jones, who now aspires to the senatorial toga, was on hand and smiled throughout the meeting, and found an army of admirers to return his smiles. Seattle's own and only Will E. Humphrey was on hand, and though brown and seared from bear hunting in Alaska, he showed himself quite a diplomat, and even those who in the past were inclined to oppose his ambitions THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN to succeed himself again in Congress surrendered after he had told them how he had killed four great bears, which the Indians had surrounded and made them stand still while he shot them. The presence of both Senators Ankeny and Piles added more to the national complexion of the meeting, though it must be remembered that Senator Ankeny is on the rack just now to an extent, at least, as he will ask the people for a re-election two years from now, and of course has to be round at such gatherings to let them know that he is a good fellow. Senator Piles has promised Senator Ankeny his support, and of course he, too, has to make a show of helping Ankeny, according to agreement. Former Senators Watson C. Squires and John L. Wilson were also present, and each had a little something to say of bygone days, as they saw it when in the limelight. Senator Wilson is still very active in the politics of the state, as Senator Ankeny will bear swift witness to, but Senator Squires has dropped out completely and is badly troubled with the political dry rot. The most of the local push of the state was present, and those that did not get an opportunity to shoot off their bazoo looked wise and thought like the very devil. On the whole, it was a most notable gathering, and President Gray, of the King County Republican Club, must have felt a satisfaction such as has never before come to him at the close of the brief entertainment. The Hon. Wesley L. Jones has finally announced his candidacy for the nomination and election of United States senator from this state to succeed Senator Ankeny, and at the same time announced that he would not ask for a renomination to the house of representatives, thus ending a long but splendid career in the house of representatives at Washington. Rumor for months have been flying around that Mr. Jones would become a candidate for United States senator, but he would neither affirm or deny the gossip, and therefore nothing definite could be said on the subject. Senator Ankeny has also announced his candidacy in a rather passive way, but it is believed by many that he is preparing to drop out in a very short time. Mr. Jones made a definite announcement to his friends in North Yakima, and the news was given to the Associated Press at once. Whether elected or not, no one can deny the fact that Yakima Jones has made a record for himself in congress that his children's children will be proud to read of. He has made a record in congress that the whole state of Washington is exceedingly proud of, and in his step higher the people by and large trust he will be no less successful in his labors than during the ten years he will have served in the house. That what the Hon. John L. Wilson does not know about the politics of this state does not seem to be worth knowing. About a year ago at a public meeting in Aberdeen, Washington, at which both Representative Jones and Senator Wilson were present and spoke, Senator Wilson, in talking of state politics, put his hands on Mr. Jones' shoulders and named him as the United States senator from this state to succeed Senator Ankeny. The Ankeny organs, aided by the Blethen Blunderbuses poked all manner of fun at him for the statement, but he made no reply to their criticism one way or the other, further than "We will see." Time rolled on, and the rumbling of Jones' latent candidacy grew louder and louder every day, until it culminated in a regular Jones eruption at Yakima last Tuesday evening, and now W. L. Jones, true to the prediction of Senator Wilson, will be the next senator from this state. It is now hinted that Senator Ankeny is preparing to make a political coupe that will take some of the bitterness out of the announcement of Jones' candidacy, so far as he is concerned, and at the same time ad- For Pennsylvania...

Frear, the new governor of Ha- waii, though born in California, began his education in Honolulu and has passed most of his life there. He is a poet as well as an eminent lawyer and a judge. * * ® The platform adopted by the recent Demo- eratie state convention in Pennsylvania pledges the party to a searching investiga- tion of the auditor general’s office, and de- mands a speedy prosecution of those responsi- ble for the alleged frauds in furnishing and equipping the new state capitol. * ** * Seeretary Taft will spend most of his time with his family at Murray Bay until he de- parts for the Philippines. Upon his return in December one of his first speeches will be made at Boston, and it is likely that he will select that occasion on which to announce his views on the subject of railroads and cor- porate wealth. * * * y Unperturbed by the notoriety attending the connection of his name with the Violette Wat- son seandal, Thomas F. Walsh, the millionaire mining man, is said to be laying plans to enter’ the United States senate as ihe successor of Henry M. Teller of Colorado. It is likely that his candidacy will have the support of the mining and smelting interests of Colo- rado. * # * * The first line-up of the Democrats of Texas on the Bailey issue will likely be made in the contest for attorney general. This is the most important office to be fought for in the Lone Star state next year. The second term prece- dent insures the renomination of Governor Campbell without opposition. Things are already shaping themselves in Towa for an interesting contest for the Re- publican gubernatorial nomination. Two candidates are already receiving prominent mention. They are A. B. Funk, of Spirit Lake, and B. F. Carroll, the present state auditor. Both: have heretofore been known as ardent Cummins men. *.* @ Alabama is the only state in the Union whose legislature meets but once in four years. Then its session is limited to forty days and the members of the legislature get $4 a day. And at that the state seems to get along as well as Massachusetts and one or two other ecommonwealths whose legisla- tive assemblies meet every year. * * * The new Alabama senator, John H. Bank- head, is a self-educated farmer, who was wounded three times in the Confederate THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN army, and later served several terms in the state legislature, and was warden of the state penitentiary before sent as a representative to congress. A Republican primary election will be held in Oregon next April for the United States senatorship. Several of the party leaders are already planning to enter the race for the toga, among them being Frederick W. Mul- key and H. M. Cake. It is probable that when the time arrives Governor Chamberlain and ex-Governor T. I, Geer also will be found in the lists. The senatorial fight in North Dakota may now said to be on, wth Senator Hansbrough opening political headquarters in Fargo and will put up a warm fight to be his own sue- cessor. Congressman Marshall, former Con- gressman M. N. Johnson,.Justige Spaulding, of the Supreme Court, former Governor Frank White and several others are named as possible opponents of Senator Hansbrough in the approaching contest. Senator Murray Crane, of Massachusetts, whose name has been mentioned by some in connection with the presidential nomination, is a man of fine ancestry.

AT THE SEATTLE THEATRE. At the Seattle Theatre this week they have a star actress in conjunction with the Earl Burgess Company who is worthy of the name. Miss Emma Bunting is a petite little lady, who does not appear to be over fourteen years of age in the character she appears in this week; but she must be older, for these is a finish to her work only obtainable by years of application and study no matter what talent or genius the artist may possess. As the Princess of Patches in "The House of Mystery," Emma Bunting never loses a point. She can snatch a laugh out of any scene or situation, and her pathos is not forced—it is real to the audience. For this reason, Emma Bunting is deserving of the title of a star actress. The play this week, "The House of Mystery," is a comedy drama, dealing with the usual episodes of life—in which a child is stolen from wealthy parents, reared in poverty and rags. If it demonstrated anything, it demonstrates "that blood will tell"; for the little girl, when she becomes a woman, readily leaves her miserable surroundings, determined to better her condition, though she does not know how it is to be done. She finds a friend in a philanthropic Southern gentleman, who adopts her as his daughter; but eventually proves to be her uncle. There is some wierd superstition connected with "The House of Mystery spoken of in the play that enables Miss Bunting to play pranks on the darkies, much to the edification of the audience. This play finishes Saturday night. Next week, beginning Sunday afternoon, the Earl Burgess Company and Miss Emma Bunting, will be seen at the Seattle Theatre in "Anita, the Singing Girl," a stronger play than any seen here for a long time, i. e., the plot is stronger and the characters are better—in fact, it is considered one of the best plays Owen Davis has written. It will give Miss Bunting an opportunity for some of the most versatile acting ever seen in Seattle, and she evolutes from a Spanish singing girl to a lady of rank. Miss Bunting is so well supported by the Earl Burgess Company, who is so entirely satisfactory, even before she appeared with them, but with the assistance of this clever little lady, the show at the Seattle Theatre is a bargain.
