Edgar Barth in a religious, temporal or social way. Evidently Bill Taft is not making the presidential headway that Roosevelt would have him do, as the third term talk has broken out afresh. Comptroller Carroll is of the opinion that the city needs at least a half million dollars for running expenses. Before that amount is voted by the city council would it not be well to change officials? Another big ocean disaster is reported, and almost a hundred persons found a watery grave. It does seem that the officers of these ocean monsters, as wide as the ocean is, could manage to keep from butting into each other. If the proverbial Indian does not laugh when he reads the excerpt in another column hereof bearing on the Ankeny campaign for the re-election of Senator Ankeny to the United States senate, then his is a hopeless case. When the Union Record talks about "individual rights" it's talking about something that neither it nor its admirers know one thing about, and, if they do, they certainly never practice any of it. It is hinted by regular attendants at The Meadows that even the money is not making the mare run as she should do, and they are insisting on that being done or they will cease going to see them fake instead of run. It has been semi-officially given out that Bryan will be a candidate on the Democratic ticket for president in 1908. Well, there is one thing that may be said of Mr. Bryan in this connection, and that is, he has been there before. If such men as Jim Vardemann and Harry Orchard can claim forgiveness of their nefarious crimes at the hands of the Almighty God, then there is no doubt of the correctness "While the lamp holds out to burn The vilest sinner may return."

The difference, Brer Olympia Capital, between the "unwritten law" and the mob law is the former is committed by a man, while the latter is committed by a lot of miserable cowards from ambush. The man who defends the honor of his family by meeting their traduceer man to man and shooting his heart out of him is a hero, while the mob of men who takes the life of a man that perhaps has done none of them any harm or injury are all worse criminals by a thousand times over than the man they are lynching, and that, too, despite the crime he may be charged with having committed. The law firm of Brady & Gay, which has been in exis ce nce for the past thirteen years, has been absolutely dissolved, and Mr. Brady has moved to new quarters on the thirteenth floor of the Alaska block.

Mr. Brady in the future wil go it alone, while Mr. Gay has formed a new partnership and will occupy the same rooms. The style of the new firm is Gay, Bailey and Rumens. Each of the other members of the firm stand well as attorneys, and it is safe to predict that this new legal concern will soon take rank as one of the strongest in the city. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS. IN SOUTH CAROLINA FOR THE THE WORK OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH COLORED. In the state of South Carolina, which forms the Roman Catholic diocese of Charleston, S. C., the Negro has always been looked after zealously. From the earliest days of Catholicity the priests labored for him. He was given place in all the churches. His children were instructed side by side with the whites in Sunday school, and his every spiritual need was provided for. After the war separate churches were built for him. St. Peter's in Charleston, S. C., is one of the best kept and best appointed churches in the diocese. A priest is regularly stationed there for the exclusive use of Colored Catholics, who number about 1,000. Another mission church is St. James at "Catholic cross roads," near Walterboro, S. C., and is regularly attended by a zealous missionary. Catholics here number about 300. There is besides the chapel of the Immaculate Conception in the upper part of the city of Charleston, where services are occasionally held. A well appointed school, St. Peter's in Charleston, is graded as the public school, with about 200 children, and a primary school uptown is connected with it. These schools are conducted by seven Sisters of Mercy, who live at St. Catherine's convent and devote their life and talents gratuitously almost to the training of the colored youth. Many outside the faith avail themselves of the example and learning of these good sisters, and receive the kindest, most earnest attention. It is proposed to teach the girls needlework and other domestic sciences shortly. Eligible children are sent to industrial schools of note in the country, particularly to St. Emma's college for boys, and St. Francis Industrial college for girls at Rock Castle, Va. A school is also organized at "Cross Roads," S. C., with about 75 children and two lay teachers. Splendid work is being done here, and only recently a large class was confirmed by Bishop Northrop. Provision is made at St. Francis Xavier's infirmary in charge of the Sisters of Mercy, for the sick. The spiritual and temporal interests of the Catholic inmates of the various public and private institutions in the city are attended to by the pastor of St. Peter's Catholic church. Throughout the diocese the other clergy provide space in their churches for the colored people, and willingly instruct and receive them. The Catholics are respectable, and respected by the whites, and many attend the services side by side with the whites, and no friction has ever arisen on account of this arrangement. It is not unusual for the whites to attend the colored church, and everywhere the two races can be seen side by side at the altar rail receiving Holy Communion. Alexander's Magazine. POST-INTELLIGENCE PI EDITIONAL The Man Behind the Gun. attempted to trade horses in the stream. For this reason Wilson will be blocked at every turn. The King county machine is opposed to Wilson and tied to Piles. If this organization should busy themselves, which is very probable, Senatory Ankeny would best Jones in the largest county in the state. The people of Spokane have not forgotten that Wilson borrowed large sums of money from a bank, which was thrown into Brother Harry's hands as receiver. Through the solicitude that Brother Harry bore for Brother John, Congressman Wilson was permitted to settle his accounts at great discount. These are matters that never become too aged to be rehashed in a political campaign. Congressman Jones has elected to trust his candidacy to the tender cares of John L., and if he has erred, right grievously will he have paid for it. The Republican bosses of the state have slated Jones for United States senator, but have not yet decided whom to place in the executive chair of the state. They are not satisfied with Mead, but the method of disposing of him has not been decided upon. Of course, Cosgrove thinks he can dispose of Mead with one hand tied behind him, but Mr. Cosgrove will probably find after the primaries that his gubernatorial will-o'-the-wisp, as usual, is four years beyond his grasp. Mr. Cosgrove was a schoolmate of Vice-President Fairbanks, and it is most unfortunate for him (Mr. Cosgrove) that nobody but the corporations wants Mr. Fairbanks for the next chief executive. It would be such a help to Mr. Cosgrove to be a schoolmate of a popular candidate for president. But such is fate. As strange as it may seem, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Spokaesman-Review of Spokane are allied together in a common cause—the defeat of Senator Ankeny; and notwithstanding the primaries are a year in the future, the political horoscope that will determine the next Republican nominees in this state is being arranged with care and precision.—Columbia County Dispatch. Why not send The Seattle Republican at least a part of your legal publications? ELLEN BEACH YAW By Victor Van Court It is not often that one finds an American prima donna, or any other for that matter, who publicly expresses the opinion that a Negro is as capable of becoming successful in grand opera as the people of any other race, but Ellen Beach Yaw, the world's famous coloratura soprano, who has just returned from an European tour in grand opera, assures the writer that there is every reason to believe that the Negroes of both sexes are fully competent to successfully compete with the men and women of any other race, in the difficult art of operatic singing, and expresses regret that she does not hear more from them in that branch of work. This statement, coming as it does, directly from the lips of one of the greatest exponents of her art now before the world, is interesting within THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POST-INT itself, but it has added interest from the fact that Miss Yaw has actually made investigations into the value and possibilities of the Negro voice, and knows whereof she speaks. Her sister Anna is a teacher of singing and numbers among her pupils several young colored men and women, who the prima donna thinks fit timber for successful operatic achievement. Miss Yaw is at present resting at her beautiful country home in Southern California and it was there, midst the scent of orange blossoms and the song of the mocking bird, that the writer had the pleasure of a personal interview with her on the subject. "The Negroes have some of the most beautiful natural voices I have ever heard and I regret that we do not hear more of them personally." "But," the writer interposed, "would there not be a prejudice against them on account of their color?" "I do not see why," she replied, "I am sure it does not matter who possesses the voice, if they have a voice and know how to use it, they ought to be allowed to do so." "You know," she continued, "my sister Anna teaches singing, and there are two of her pupils, Mr. Robert Lee and Annie Owens, both of Los Angeles, who I am sure would meet with great success in opera. I am deeply interested in these two colored singers as I am in all colored people who really have good natural voices; and I hope they will continue their work until they appear success- ```markdown ``` She began by saying: fully in some recognized grand opera company, or organize one of their own and justify my predictions." "Why," she said, and her interest deepened, "would it not be a good plan, if there does exist a prejudice against these singers, for them to organize a grand opera company among themselves and break down that prejudice by their force of their own merit? I am sure it could be done if the better class of colored people would interest themselves in the project. Think what a chorus of beautiful well trained Negro voices would be like, to say nothing of the achievement of the principals, and as for going to hear them, I do not see why we should patronize every other race and refuse to extend the same consideration to them. Art should be patronized and encouraged for art's sake, no matter from what race it comes, nor can we who are true artists afford to differentiate because of the race, color or material surroundings. An artist judges an artist by his art, not by his race or color. But there now," she said, "I hear my mother calling me and I must go and take her for a drive." With these words she left me to wonder what the result of her beautiful prediction would be, and to meditate upon the philosophy of a prima donna. The management of The Seattle Republican would take it as a personal favor and most assuredly a financial one if the attorneys of this city would send some of their legal publications to this paper. Call us up and we will do the rest. Main 305. PAINTS GLASS BARTH LOST HIS HEAD. If F. Edgar Barth would have been wise he would have remembered the old adage, which runs like this: "Those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." It required a good deal to make Mr. Barth mad, but it was finally accomplished, and he no sooner got mad than he gave the people of this community a true sample of his real self. In replying to some newspaper criticism he was indiscreet enough to say that "I favor the absolute segregation of the white and black folks, and that they should be treated in the North just as they are in the South." This is an admission that no one thought Mr. Barth would make, in view of the fact that he and his friends had unnecessarily forced this issue in Seattle when no hotel had ever thought of separating the colored from the white folk in public places of accommodation and entertainment. For weeks Mr. Barth openly denied that he was in sympathy with any such race discrimination and placed all the blame on the hotel, but his recent admission shows very plainly that the blame should have been placed on his shoulders and not that of the proprietor of the local lodging house. It has been the contention of The Seattle Republican ever since the rumpus first broke out that there was "a nigger in the woodpile," and now it is plain to be seen, and looks like BARTH. If the North or even the South was made up of white men of the calibre of F. Edgar Barth, the Negro of this country would see to it that a complete segregation of the races THE COLMAN BUILDING. ter day acceptance of that term, which on file for any vacancy that may occurly feel proud. While the Colman is means all the way from twelve to blocks that has recently bee nerected has not been a "for rent" in it since present building.

Mr. this or next year sufficiently numerous to fill up another block the size of the the largest volume of business done from this block than any other in the city with the bare exception of the Alaska block, Seattle's first skyscraper. It is situated in the center of the city and though Seattle continues to grow toward Lake Union still it will always be desirable for men who are heavily interested in the manufacturing end of the city. This block is a part of what Dexter Horton, the pioneer Seattle banker, said prior to his death was one of the most valuable estates in the state of Washington which was founded by the well known pioneer, J. M. Colman, who died a few months ago, leaving the entire estate to his wife and two sons. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN be enforced at once. The Negro that would desire to associate with Barth after learning the true nature of the human freak would, to say the least, be a poor specimen of the black race. What Mr. Barth should do is to hunt up Tillman and Vardemann post-haste and say to them, "I want to teach and preach as you do." This Mr. Barth imposed upon the Christian Endeavor Association by compromising them into drawing the color line, and then did not have the nerve to stand by his guns, and for that he is a coward. The Negro of this country has no disposition to force himself into the society of the white folk—yea, verily, he prefers a hundred times over to be among other Negroes, but when circumstances make it necessary for him to seek places of accommodation conducted by the white man he desires the same cordial treatment that is given to all other persons. Before the Christian Endeavor convention came this paper asked the members of the local committee where was the graft in the committee insisting in placing the trustee board at the Lincoln, despite the protest of hundreds of white persons in this city, when that hotel refused to accommodate all of the members of the board because three of them were Negroes, while all of the other hotels in the city stood ready to accommodate the entire board without asking any question as to the membership of the board. The local committee refused to answer the question, and it is still an open one, and The Seattle Republican here repeats. Who got the graft? F. Edgar Barth, in an interview one day this week, advised the business men of the city to go after the Republican National convention instead of the Grand Session of the Eagles. What objections, pray, has Mr. Barth to the members of the Eagles, and so far as the city is concerned, they would advertise her a thousand times more widely than did the Christian Endeavor, on whom the business men spent $21,000. And speaking about this reminds the writer that the city put up $21,000 for the entertainment of the Christian Endeavor convention because it was held up to the public that it would be composed of some 15,000 delegates from all parts of the world. It can be said without fear of a successful contradiction there were not to exceed 3,000 delegates all told at the convention from the Eastern states, and not to exceed a baker's dozen delegates from foreign countries. If the Eagles come twenty times that number will be here, and they will not eat peanuts and ask for hand-outs while here, but will spend their money. If the city puts up $50,000 for their entertainment and they come, they will spend twice that amount while in the city. In the future the city should look at these things purely as a business proposition and not from a sentimental one, as F. Edgar Barth would have her.

Edgar Barth's Christian Endeavor convention, the National Republican convention would no more think of coming to Seattle than it would of going THE BANK FOR SAVINGS ONLY STRICTLY SAVINGS BANK IN THE STATE IN SEATTLE 4% PAID ON ALL DEPOSITS The need of a Bank Strictly Savings is shown by the number of depositors who have a knowledge of the security and convenience of The Bank for Savings.

There will be, to say the least, 500 Negro delegates to the National Republican convention, and the central committee will consider no city as a meeting place that does not promise in advance to open its hotels to the Negro delegates the same as to the white delegates. Mr. Barth and his henchmen have established a precedent in the hotels here not to accommodate Negroes, and it will be hard to convince the central committee that any different course would be pursued by the hotels in case the Republican convention came here, hence there is hardly a ghost of a show of that convention even giving the proposition of coming to Seattle a single favorable consideration. The city of St. Louis fooled the central committee into taking one of its conventions there by promising to give the Negro delegates the same treatment as the whites, but refused to do so after the convention had assembled, whereupon Mark Hanna rose in all of his might and declared to the St. Louis hotelkeepers unless the agreement was kept, so far as the Negro delegates were concerned, the convention would be moved to Chicago the next morning, and he was heard, the Negroes experiencing no further trouble. It would be impossible for any such threat to be used to the hotelkeepers of Seattle after the convention had assembled here, as there would be no other place for it to go, and the committee is not going to take any chance on such proposition when the precedent has already been established by a so-called religious organization. The Seattle Republican prints legal notices and attorneys having such for publication would do well to call up its number, Main 305, before giving their notices out for publication.

Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Reams have gone to spend a month in Vancouver, where Mr. Reams is to an extent interested in a business venture. Rev. S. A. Franklin passed through the city last Tuesday en route to Spokane to attend the Baptist convention of the state. A moonlight picnic was given by Mrs. Joe Horton at her residence in Green Lake last Tuesday evening for the benefit of the Mt. Zion Baptist church of this city. Let the ladies of the city give themselves no further uneasiness as the reported marriage of Mr. I. I. Walker was not only a false alarm, but a Grose mistake. Rev. W. L. Presto will fill the pulpit of the Mt. Zion Baptist church next Sunday evening, the Rev. Manney being in Spokane attending the Baptist Convention. The members of the A. M. E. Sunday school of this city are holding their annual picnic today and the world and his brother from an Afro-American standpoint are enjoying the outing. Sunday lunches nicely served at Tent Gayton, 2613 East Madison, with hot coffee and chocolate. Ice cream and soft drinks of all kinds are also served and all at the most reasonable rates. Miss Octavia and Jenevia Richardson are visiting with friends in Bellingham, where they expect to be for the next few weeks. During the absence of Miss Octavia Miss Alma Clark will act as office girl for Attorney Andrew R. Black. After seven years' faithful service as custodian of the New York block Mr. George Manney has tendered the management thereof his resignation to take effect August 1st next. Some time in the early fall he will leave for the South where he will visit with relatives for two or three months, beyond that he has no plans. Black-Dixon—Cards are out announcing the wedding of Miss Carrie Dixon to Mr. Black August 31st. Miss Dixon is the daughter of Mr. Robert L. Dixon, an old Seattle pioneer, and the grand daughter of Mrs. Sarah Grose, who has lived in Seattle for the past forty years. Mr. Black is a well known young man in the city. The marriage will take place at the residence of Mrs. Aurora E. Grose. About twenty-five or more persons of Seattle attended the "feast in the wilderness" held at Kennydale last Sunday and they report one of the grandest feasts that they have enjoyed for a long time. Those having charge of the tables fed in the neighborhood of 200 white visitors and some fifty or more Afro-American visitors. Rev. Franklin preached both in the fore and afternoon. The committee that had charge of the arrangements was as follows: Mr. M. E. Harden, Mr. H. C. Jones, Mr. W. F. Walker, Mr. H. Deye, Mrs. H. C. Jones, Mrs. M. E. Harden, Mrs. H. Deye and Mrs. Brown. Mrs. Gordon Carter died at Providence hospital last Monday and was buried Tuesday. Mrs. Carter had been a resident of Franklin, Wash., for the past fifteen years. Mr. Carter, who is one of the engineers of the Franklin mines, is one of King county's most reliable as well as substantial Afro- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Americans and will have the sympathy of the entire community in his bereavement. Mrs. Carter was taken to the hospital about a week ago and at once underwent an operation for appendicities, but she failed to rally from the effects, and, as said above, died a few days thereafter. Rev. George Manney left for Spokane last Tuesday to attend the Baptist convention of the Northwest. This convention will be the largest that that denomination has ever held in this section and representatives from the following churches will be present: Everett, Bellingham, Seattle, Tacoma, Newcastle, Roslyn, North Yakima, Sunnyside and Spokane. This denomination has real estate in this state valued at $30,000 and the most of the churches are in a prosperous condition. Rev. H. B. Parks of New York, secretary of missions of the A. M. E. church, will preach at Lee's Chapel, 1522 Fourteenth avenue, in the forenoon and the evening of August 4th, and will lecture at the same place Monday evening, August 5th. The pastor, Rev. Donohoo, extends a general invitation to the public to be present and hear this noted divine preach and lecture. There will be no admission charges for either. At the Seattle Theatre. "Anita, The Singing Girl," the play at the Seattle Theatre this week, is not only well played by the Earl Burgess Company, but it is for a fact the best play the company has yet presented. It gives Miss Emma Bunting, the star soubrette of the company, better opportunities than last week's play did. In the first act she appears as an Italian street singer, who is under the domination of a Spanish "padrome," who has led her to believe that he was a friend of her mother's and that she should hate her The buyer who seeks experience may seek it anywhere; But the buyer who heeds experience buys the Remington. Remington Typewriter Company New York and Everywhere own father for wrongs he did her mother, and makes her swear to avenge his mother's ill treatment by killing the father. The villain is instigated by two other villains who act under cover. There is a sweet and lovely girl who proves a good fairy to everybody who is good in the play; the character is ably portrayed by Miss Mable Northorn. But the thankless parts of Malcolm Danvers, by Roy Applegate, Manuel Momez, played by Orson M. Dunn, and Vera Danvers, played by Kathline Barry, would all call for good notices in a critical review of the play. Sam Waldon plays Ned Fremont, and he does it well. He makes a good foil for Miss Emma Bunting. The best opportunity for acting, and it is taken advantage of, is John Baird by T. B. Alexander; the character could scarcely be improved upon by any one. If a vote were taken of the patrons of the Seattle Theatre they would readily pronounce Miss Emma Bunting a greater actress than Mrs. Fisk, for, like that other little lady, she is a soubrette—this is really what Mrs. Fisk was and would be best in today. Miss Emma Bunting is even cleverer than Minnie Madern—now Mrs. Fisk—was in her most palmy days. "Anita, the Singing Girl," runs all week. Next week, commencing Sunday afternoon, the Earl Burgess Company will be seen in another of Owen Davis' plays, "The Burglar's Daughter." It is more of a sensational melodrama than the play this week. There is a realistic scene of Brooklyn bridge, where the heroine saves the car from plunging off the bridge by pulling the trolley rope and shooting the villain. Any one who has ever crossed this famous structure can see the possibilities for stage effects. Miss Emma Bunting of course plays the burglar's daughter.
