Two cases of small pox in the city jail seems to in no wise lessen the desire of the hobo to get accommodations at Hotel Wapentein. Attorney Walker seems to be too much of a walker for the mayoralty nomination to overtake him, and it is something of a stepper its own self. These being "dog days," we suggest the muzzling of Daddy Clayson for the next thirty days lest some good person be bitten during his ravings. Reckless driving of automobiles has created another route for throwing one's life away, and quite a few are taking advantage of the opportunity. Heiney is threatening to send too many persons to the penitentiary before he gets any there. Land Rueff and Schmidtz in San Quintin and then we will believe you will be able to send some more. From the amount of a bill rendered to us a few days ago for a one-horse load of lumber it strikes us, and very forcibly, that the lumber market is just as good in Seattle as it is reported good in Aberdeen. That West Seattle white woman that eloped with a Japanese has evidently been taking lessons in color blending, and was simply experimenting on the subject in her illicit relations with the Jap. The chief reason why Riplinger suddenly stopped stealing the city's money was that he got so much of it that he did not know what to do with it without attracting attention, as did Fred E. Adams, the assay office gold thief. Did Chairman Barth have a bee in his bonnet that prompted him to make a fight to ```markdown ``` SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, AUGUST 2, 1907. have the Christian Endeavors hold their last convention in this city? If he did, that bee certainly did die a bornin'. Really it was no josh, or if it were, Joe Schlumpf took it serious, for he is now looking wise and doing the campaign stunt with the hope of landing the mayoralty plum. Well, just think of it! Have not the politics of Seattle taken an awful Slump? If you refuse to pay your honest debts when you have the means to pay them with, you are almost certain of seeing the time come when you can not pay them if you would do so. Honesty is the best policy. There were a whole lot of choppers in Seattle last week, but the wood supply seems to be just about as short now as if they had not been here. We fear you fellows deal with paper axes instead of the "keen kutters.' Is George B. Cortelyou to be the first man to start at the very bottom of the ladder in official circles in Washington, D. C., and reach to the very topmost round, the presidential chair? It looks that way just now. When Southern railroads give to the colored passengers the same accommodations that they do to the white passengers, the Negro will cease to complain about being jimcrowed, and then it will be but a very short time before the separate coach law will fall of its own weight. Recent reports from the Russian empire are to the effect that the authorities have begun to hang women. Suffering Moses! have they completely exhausted the supply of men and must operate on women or go out of business? Editor Chadwick, of the Argus, seems to be greatly agitated lest he is forced to associate with Negroes. Calm yourself, Chad, if a Negro ever got a square look at that mug of yours he would commit suicide before he would associate with you in any shape, form or manner. Your face is your everlasting protection. And the old MacDougall-Southwick property is to be converted into a gigantic hotel unless the negotiations along that line fall through, and that is hardly probable. In the past Seattle may have been a rather poor hotel town, but she has quite outgrown that. Before the King county commissioners will have the county roads as they would like them they must devise some means of getting away with that troublesome Hill, and when they begin on that Sam is going to have something to say. Justice Brewer's talk may have given Harriman a bit of temporary peace of mind, but it will only be temporary relief. Harri- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

PRICE TEN CENTS man and his associates are dangerous characters and the sooner they are driven to the wall the beter for the people of all over the country. For some reason known only to the Blethens the Evening and Morning Swillbarrels are not enthusing very much over the senatorial announcement of the Hon. Wesley L. Jones. We suspect the old fakir thinks he sees a splendid Ankeny jack pot slipping by his door. The city council of Seattle is still quibbling and splitting hairs over whether or not to erect an asphalt plant, and do its own paving, all of which is doubtless due to the fact that the various asphalt companies operating in this city at present have a sufficient amount of "long green" on cold storage for just such occasions to clog the legislative wheels. Another proof of "when thieves fall out, righteous men get their own," may be found in the law suit between one Carmichael and Bert Ward over the division of the spoils, in which Ward is supposed to have mulcted the Christian Endeavor local committee out of for the building of the big tent. Ward promised to divvy up, so claims Carmichael, and now refuses to do so, hence the suit. Truly is this the age of graft. If the city's water meters are not being ordered out more rapidly than they were in, then the number of demands at the city hall for the removal of meters would so impress the casual observer. Seattle's water supply is inexhaustible, and it is simply highway robbery for the taxpayers, at whose expense the water system was put in, to have to pay three dollars and upwards for a sufficient amount of water to irrigate a small lawn and for domestic purposes. It is the intention of the park board of this city to expend in the neighborhood of $270,000 on the parks prior to the opening of the A.-Y.-P. in 1909, that it may truly be a City Beautiful. Now let the owners of homes prepare to expend a large sum of elbow grease on their lawns and home surroundings between now and that time and that will make a hundred times better showing than even twice that amount expended on the parks, and Seattle will then truly be a City Beautiful. Lynching Italians may be a pleasing diversion for the highbinders of Louisiana, but the authorities have some faint recollection of the lynching of eight Italians a decade or more ago in New Orleans, and how near it came to plunging the United States government into war with Italy, and to avoid a similar complication the entire state militia was called out to protect some Italians convicted of kidnapping a little white girl. Why not hang a few home niggers, boss, just to show the world that your fighting blood is up? Harvest hands in Eastern Washington and Idaho are demanding $9 per day for their labors, and the day must not be too long at that. Here is an opportunity for the men in the city working for $2.50 per day to get out and earn more the two harvest months and the one hop picking month than they could the whole year at city wages, and yet they could go right on getting that city wages as soon as they returned from the fields. Why don't you get your wits to working? Ye editors of the state got their "annual feed" last week at the hands of charitable Everett, and until even the memories of that feed shall have been forgotten in the mad struggle to get existence money, "the future" for them "will be very bright." Editorially speaking, it is a long time between drinks for the operator of a country weekly paper, and seems but a question of time when the most of them will be supplanted by the big daily being delivered to its subscribers every day. Joe Smith has concluded his silly review of Riplinger and the times when he operated, and no one regrets it, as he has proved nothing nor brought nothing new to light. Smith always was rather a half cracked dreamer. If President Roosevelt will throw a few more of his personal friends into the race for the presidential nomination he will have doubtless succeeded in so completely muddying the water for all others that his nomination will be absolutely sure. There seems to be more ways for killing a cat besides choking it to death with butter. "Jamestown Exposition stamps are not in demand at this office." So says a Seattle postoffice employe, and concludes by adding, "It is the only exposition held in this country where the special government stamps issued in honor of it have not been largely in demand." Well, neighbor, the good folk of this country are good and tired of catering to the semi-heathens of the South, and therefore they are in no wise interested in what they do. They seem determined to go to hell, and the Northerners, considering them hopeless cases, are of the opinion that the sooner the better. MAN'S HISTORY MAKING. Absorption of Korea.—Slowly but surely Japan and her rulers are becoming expansionists and absorbing as much foreign territory as they can consistently do without attracting too much international comment. Had the Japanese dared they would have extended their control over all China, but it would have precipitated a war with the Powers of the world and Japan was not yet ready for such a conflict. But a few days ago the Japanese government reached out and took in Korea, deposing her rulers and inaugurating officials of Japanese blood and sovereignty. For many years that country has been the bone of international controversy, and it doubtless was the real THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN cause of the war between Russia and Japan. Since the termination of the war Japan has held a passive protectorate over Korea, but declared that she had no intention of annexing her unless some other power attempted it. In her preparations for a struggle with the United States, which may come soon or late, but will surely come, she felt the need of making that peninsula a part of Japanese territory, and so the final steps have been taken and Japanese soldiers as well as civil officials now direct the affairs of that former government. How soon before these little brown men will deem it best to reach out after the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands is a problem, but there is no doubt that they will do so soner or later, which would mean a long and bloody struggle with the United States government. Age of Graft.—If the Capitol Probing Committee, which is now holding forth in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is as successful in uncovering graft as was the probing committee of San Francisco, it will discover that many of the leading citizens of the Keystone state are either directly or indirectly besmirched with the public lootings that have been going on in that state for many years. It seems that it begun under the rulership of Boss Quay, and it has grown on and on ever since. In every state and community in the United States just now if a probing committee would be set to work to expose public corruption, it would find work enough to do for the next six months or more. Even in Seattle it is being thought, and thought so loudly that you can almost hear the thinking, that a grand jury or a probing committee would be able to send quite a few of the political stars of the community where they would have to wear stripes instead of expensive outing suits. Truly this must be the age of graft and steal, and the only reason you do not do those things is you have not had an opportunity. All of this is due to the fact that the citizens of the United States are "money mad" and will not hesitate to do anytihng to get a "piece of money." We are no longer a Godfearing people, and unless we mend our ways will fall of our own weight. Uncle Sam's Negroes.—Much has been said on the decision of the Interstate Railway Commission, which decided that the railroads of this country may segregate its white passengers from its colored passengers, providing it furnished the same kind of accommodations for each. The Negro of the United States is either a citizen, a human being, or he is not. If he is either of those he should be treated just as other citizens are. The Negro, in view of the fact that the Caucasians of this country are not inclined to want to mingle with him on terms of equality, is perfectly willing socially to give his brother in white the widest berth, but to be proscribed or corralled as though he was a beast instead of a human being, when no such proscription is enforced on any other race or class of people is exceedingly humiliating. It does not follow that because the Negro is permitted to take a seat in a car set apart for passengers, a theatre, Friday. August 2 a dining room or any place of public amusement and entertainment that the white folk will eventually be forced to intermarry with the black folk. With all of the alleged intelligence and superiority of the white man over the black man, surely none of them would condescend to marry an inferior black, however often thrown in contact with one. The three million mulattoes in this country, however, would seem to indicate that the Negro is not as objectionable to the Caucasian as the Caucasian would have you think from his writings and speeches. There is no more need of separate apartments for black and white folk in this country than there is for separate accommodations for white folk and Japanese or Italians, and this is said without any intention to cast reflections on those people. Water seeks its level, and when a white person becomes enamored with a black person, or any person his or her alleged inferior to the contrary, it is because such person is convinced that the allegation is not true and the two will be equally yoked together. Peace on Earth.—When the angelic hosts some two thousand years ago announced the birth of Christ and made use of the following, "Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace to men of good will;" was it a prediction that the peoples of the earth would sooner or later surrender their belligerent spirit and live in brotherly love? The peace conference at The Hague is still working away with a vengeance on the international peace proposition and with some show of slight success. The representatives of the various governments are loth to give up their sword and gun for the peace ensigna, but some headway is being made in that direction. Wars on the part of nations are due to the fact that the rulers of such nations or countries are moved by the avaricious spirit to try to get something for nothing. There never would have been any war between the United States and England if England had not have demanded of her colonies the proverbial "pound of flesh," and as in this instance so also throughout all ages. If the various Christian nations really believe what they preach there is absolutely no need of wars between nations. The men of today do not have to fight their way to the business marts, but go about it in a commonsense way, and a great majority of them live through their whole lives without ever having even a hot word with their neighbors. When two men cannot settle any trouble they may have, they should take it to an arbiter, and if they are sensible they will abide by his decision, and the same will hold good with great nations in disputes. Cortelyou New Richmond.—The choosing of a president to succeed Theodore Roosevelt, who retires April 30th, 1909, is rapidly reaching the acute stage, especially in Republican circles. While many have been called but one can be chosen, and who that one is or will be is the all-absorbing question throughout the length and breadth of the country, in view of the fact that it is almost a foregone conclusion that the Re- Friday, August 2. publican nominee will be overwhelmingly elected. For the past six months Roosevelt, Taft, Foraker, Hughes, Knox, La Follette, Shaw, Fairbanks and a few lesser lights have been more or less discussed in connection with.the Republican nomination, but the lat- est to take a hand in the contest is George B. Cortelyou, secretary of the postoffice depart- ment, who, like Taft, is quite close to Presi- dent Roosevelt. The general public had just about settled down to the fact that the presi- dent favored the nomination of Taft over all other aspirants, but with Cortelyou in the field, who stands equally as close to the presi- dent in official circles as Taft,: things seem to be getting much confounded. There is no doubt of the fact that the president is also quite favorable to Hughes of New York, and judging from his actions in the past he, it seems, will have to draw straws to pick the winner of those three for his personal and official support. Cortelyou Rose Rapidly.—Speaking of Cortelyou, the average citizen cannot help but admire the man, differ as he will or may from him as to publie policies. He went to Wasihngton City a mere lad to hold a menial position and held it, while he did hold it so well that he was soon promoted, and since then, step by step, he has gone on and on until he now aspires to the presidency itself, and with fair prospects of plucking the cov- eted plum. In Mr. Cortelyou young America has thoroughly asserted itself by showing what the aggressive young man in the United States can do if he will only push. The boy born of poor parents, who are compelled to battle to keep the wolf from the door of their young hopeful, is in line for the presi- dential chair if he has the pluck. While riches bring seeming ease to those who have it for the young man in the United States, he makes a hundred times greater and nobler man if he starts out in life on his nerve in- stead of on his father’s name and money. Cortelyou is a fair sample of such a young man, and young men all over the country should seek to emulate him, even though he neyer gets to be president. Haywood Gets Acquitted—The long and strenuous trial of William D. Haywood, the accused murderer of former Governor Steunenburg of Idaho, is now a thing of the past so far as Haywood is concerned, as a jury of his peers found him not guilty. This, perhaps, was one of the most remarkable eases that was ever tried in the courts of Idaho. The verdict of not guilty meets the approval of all men who believe in a square deal. That the Idaho authorities took a mean, low and illegal advantage of Haywood and Moyer was so apparent that they them- selves cannot deny it. The accused men may be as guilty as dogs of the charge for which they were put on trial, but they should have been accorded the same rights as any other persons charged with heinous offense. They were kidnaped from Colorado and rail- roaded to the very threshold of the gallows, and notwithstanding all of those low ad- vantages taken by the authorities, no tangible eviderice seems to have been brought out in the case connecting either of the accused men with the direct crime of having mur- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN dered Steunenburg. This paper has no sym- pathy with the labor anarchists of which Haywood and Moyer are the acknowledged heads, but two wrongs never made a right, and when the civil authorities proceeded along the line they did in the arrest and trial of Haywood, then they committed a wrong even more damnable than the conspiracy they charged the man at the bar with. That there is a desperate war on between the labor trust. and the money trust in Idaho and many other places the writer verily doth believe, and that both of them commit acts of violence to carry their points there is not a scintilla of doubt, but which ever side comes before the law it should be dealt with according to the law and the facts and not according to: the prejudices and passions of the opposite side To our mind, if the prosecuting attorney of the county in which Haywood was tried would prosecute all of the perjurers of that trial it would take him the balance of his natural life to try all of them. It too often happens in this country that prosecutors be- come so enthused in their work, especially when there is something on the side if they convict, that they quite overstep the bounds of propriety in their effort to convict, and this seems to be one of those cases. Haywood is now a free man, and it’s only a question of time when Moyer will also be given his liberty. POLITICAL. Republicans versed the game of politics are drawing close to the table and already combinations are being made that are in- tended to bring victory to themselves and friends. Probably the only combination that has been former so far is that framed up for the re-noniination of Governor Mead by ex- Senator John L, Wilson. This includes his undivided support to Congressman Jones for the senate and Commissioner Rockwell for congress from Eastern Washington, if he can make the combination stick. His first cone cern is for the election of Wesley L. Jones to the United States Senate, second, the renom- ination of Governor Mead, and third, the nomination of T. D. Rockwell for Congress, if he can land him, His second choice for Eastern Washington is said to be J. N. Pick- erill of Whitman County. In the event that it is necessary to do some trading to save the Jones and Mead combination it will be for the office of Congressman. There are many other factors that will have much to do with shaping the political outlook long before the voters are asked to decide the matter. Among these is the line-up for Cush- man to go to the United States Senate as the successor to Senator Piles that was. to have been announced immediately following the coming election, but Tacoma is not blind to this opportunity and may insist on the launch- ing of the Cushman senatorial boom in the near future. Tacoma also has another able man who has senatorial aspirations in the person of Robert L. McCormick. He is well known throughout the state and can cham- pion a host of willing supporters for the Senate as soon as he permits his name to be used in that connection. United States Sen- ator Levy, Ankeny, as is well known, is a candidate to sueceed himself and will carry much strength not only in Eastern Washing- ton, but in the western part of the state he has a large following who will see that his side is properly presented to the voters of that section. Another factor of much impor- tance in determining the probable outcome of the Republican nominating primary is the fact that Judge Cosgrove of Pomeroy is an avowed candidate for governor and his fol- lowing will add weight to the senatorial and congressional nominees who receive their votes. The same is also true of Dr. H. W. Al- jen and D. T. Ham, who are being urged by their friends all over the state to declare their eandidacies for the governorship. Of no less importance is the faet that Spokane is determined to have a representative in congress. Her business interests absolutely demand it and no arrangement which will fail to give her this representation will be considered by the voters for a moment. William H. Ludden has already declared his candidacy for that office. This was done at the behest of a large number of business men and friends who have sufficient strength to see that he is given proper con- sideration. There are other strong men whose friends are urging their declarations. Among them are E. F. Waggoner, Harry Rosenhaupt, Charles Lund, Jos. B. Lindsley and Millard T. Hartson.—Spokane Orator- Outburst. Congressman Jones has announced himself a candidate for the United States in Senator Ankeny’s place, and as this office comes un- der the direct primary election it looks as though he would get it. As a vote getter and popularity he has Ankeny bested at the start, quarter, half and finish. This will leave Congressman Jones’ place vacant for a new man. In duty bound it would fall to Spo- kane, and already there are about a dozen Spokane politicians who are willing to test their popularity by making a try for it. If Spokane wants it they should get together and decide on one man, and only one, and they will stand a good show in getting it. Pick out the most capable and popular man and go in to win. Of all those mentioned who would like to take a shy at the position, State Senator Harry Rosenhaupt seems to be the likely candidate. He is quite popular and thoroughly competent.—Rockford Regis- ter. * * * It is said that if Senator Culberson of Texas is chosen minority leader of the Senate next December he will most likely be ‘given the vacancy on the appropriations committee, if he elects to have it. Senator Culberson’s more important committee assigns now are judiciary, Philippines, postoffices and post roads and public buildings and grounds. The vacancy on the appropriations committee, left by Senator Berry of Arkansas, is probably the most prized of any of the places on sen- ate committees left by a Democrat. The management of The Seattle. Repub- lican would take it as a personal favor and most assuredly a financial one if the attor- neys of this city would send some of their legal publications to this paper. Call us up and we will do the rest. Main 305. . ———— OO), EOE SEATTLE’S WATER CONTROVELSY. It seems hardly believable that there could be the amount of contention over water using in this city at the present time that there is. The water officials declare the con- sumers are wasting the water, and the con- sumers are equally positive that they are not getting a sufficient amount of water to keep their lawns green; and those of ‘the con- sumers who have put in meters find their water bills so high if they make any effort of giving their lawns the necessary water to keep them green, that they are ordering out the meters by the scores, and thus the con- tention is kept at white heat, day in and day out, and often throughout the dark hours of the night. The citizens of this city have voted water bonds to the amount of more than a half million dollars in order to build a water system for Seattle, and, so far as the department is concerned, it began business without a dollar’s indebtedness against it and with multiplied thousands of consumers paying a rate for water not much below the price private concerns furnishing water for large cities charge their consumers, and yet the water department is always howling on account of a shortage of funds to do business on. In other words, the water department is being taxed to carry on unnecessary improve- ments in the city with the view of the city “making a big showing’’ for advertising purposes. The water supply for Seattle is practically inexhaustible, and pours into the reservoirs of the city without effort, and yet the amount of water each householder must use is almost measured out to him by the pucketfuls. There is something radically wrong with the water system of this city, and the matter should be given more than a passing consideration by those interested in the beautifying of the town with green lawns andi blooming flower ‘gardens. Seattle, a City Beautiful, is next to impossible if the owners of homes are to pay five and ten dol- lars a month for water. A man on Capitol Hill, who declares he did not use more than enough water on his lawn during the past month to keep it green, and while he has two lots in one, was astounded to receive a bill for $30.00 for one month’s using of water. Tt would be a hundred times cheaper for that man to put him down a well and erect a wind- mill and pump his own water for the irrigat- ing his lawn, This water proposition is a most serious one, and should be seriously con- sidered. A change of officials might do some good. * * * i el ee le Oe A ee. The controversy between the Post-Intelh- gencer and the Times as to whether the com- mission merchants of Seattle are robbing both the consumers as well as the raisers of food produee, is highly interesting to all con- cerned, and is deserving of a good deal more than a mere passing consideration. The com- mission men are rather anxious about it, be- cause they stand a chance of losing a big wad of money if the controversy or the agi- tation in any way causes the prices and the mode of handling the produce to be changed. The producers are terribly agitated over the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN matter, because they deelare they are not only robbed as to the price paid them for the stuff they send to the Seattle market, but they are also robbed in weights. They claim on every carload of stuff sent to Seattle they are forced to lose all the way from ten to twenty, per cent in shortage, and yet they pay the rail- roads for full weight. They get caught both coming and going, hence they are very sore over the matter. The consumers are dis- turbed over the matter because they have to pay all the bills. If for an instance there is more of a certain article in the market than is healthy for it, and the merchants dump a few carloads of it into the bay to bring about a seareity, the consumers must pay for all the stuff thrown overboard in the shape of higher prices for that they do use. Now the Times, the Star and the News all declare the commission men are bound together in a most damnable trust at the people’s expense, while the Post-Intellingencer says the prices for food stuffs in Seattle are no higher than in other cities, which may or may not be true, but if the food ean be put duwn at the con- sumer’s door for half the amount they now pay, there is no excuse for the people having to pay more unless they take pleasure in see- ing a commission merchant clean up on an average of twenty-five thousand dollars a year on a twenty-five dollar investment, as many of them have actually done, and boast- ed of. We may pay no more for potatoes and vegetables than St. Paul or Chicago, but it is like paying eight dollars per cord for wood in a country where the wood goes to waste by the million cords every year, the same price paid for it on the prairies of Kansas and Nebraska. ‘The market conditions of Seattle, to say the least, need a severe course of ‘‘regulation.’” BUSY BUSTLING SEATTLE. Seattle may not have the extensive ““buck- et brigade’? of many of the other cities in the United States, and even some in the Northwest, but nevertheless Seattle is busy almost beyond description, and every man, woman and child who wants to work are able to get some kind at luerative wages. The stranger is surprised as he rides down Second avenue from Pike street to Yesler Way to see in the course of construction a couple of dozen gigantie business blocks, on each of which are a small army of men, and the aggregation making so much noise in their constant striking on almost every section of the structure that you can not hear yourself think or speak as you pass by. All of the contractors are under bonds to have the buildings completed by such and such a time, as the owners have tenants nervously awaiting their completion. The most of these blocks are to be finished in time for the oc- cupants to get settled down in them in time for the Christmas trade, and it requires every mechanie and workman that the contractors can put their hands on to finish up the work. Then all over the city residence buildings are going up as rapidly as workmen ean push them along, and it is barely possible that ten times as many more men, especially skilled mechanies, could find employment here than are now employed. Friday, August 2. HARRY BIGELOW DEAD. The almost innumerable friends of Harry A. Bigelow sorely regretted to hear of his death last Monday evening, which took place in Carlisbad, Germany, whither he went last June for the purpose of regaining his health, he having been in bad health for the past four years or more. He was an old pioneer of Seattle, and had a host of friends, having been prominent in political, as well as secret society circlés, ever since he first came to the city. He was accompanied abroad by his wife, who cabled the sad news to her relatives in the city last Monday. Harry Bigelow was a Seattle devotee and was full of the Seattle spirit. He owned considerable real estate in the city, which he had picked up from time to time at a very low figure, and which has grown to be exceedingly valuable. Some- thing over a year ago he completed the eree- tion of a splendid block on the corner of Fourth avenue and Pike street, of which he was very proud, and he expressed a hope to the writer that he would regain his health and be spared to enjoy the earnings of his more youthful days. He was a man of splen- did standing in the community, and always worked for the upbuilding of the city. His remains were cremated in Germany, and the ashes will be shipped to Seattle for preserva- tion. Peace to his ashes. ASSESSOR PARISH PRAISED. That King county assessor is committing lese majeste against the publie service cor- porations by requiring them to pay, or at- tempting to require them to pay, adequate taxes on their franchises. He has found a very simple way of arriving at the true value of the franchises. According to a contem- porary, he ascertains the aggregate value of the tangible property of a public service cor- poration, and then subtracts it from the ag- gregate total of capital stock and bonds. The difference, he justly observes, represents the franchise values. The logic of the assessor is unanswerable, and his method will be un- asailable in court, providing he has made his assessment of all other property on a similar- ly equitable basis. That he has been endeay- oring to make his schedules fair and impar- tial is apparent from the fact that the full value of all taxable tangible property is as- certained and the assessment is uniformly on sixty per cent basis. The franchise assess- ments are therefore likewise to be sixty per cent of their actual value. _ Seattle’s most important public service cor- poration a year ago paid taxes on a franchise of $57,578. This year, if the assessor has his way, it will have to pay on $5,125,097, an in- erease nearly one hundred fold. No wonder Seattle is startled. The state tax commission adds to the gaiety of the situation by backing up the work of the aggressive Seattle assess- or, and says his work will be acceptable as a basis for fixing the appraisement through- out the state-—Puyallup Independent. 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 publi- cation.

The question whether the whale swallowed Jonah, with its somewhat consequential and always associated problems whether the whale could have swallowed Jonah and Jonah could have lived in the whale's belly for three days will come up in a Missouri court for the hearing of testimony, argument and decision in September. As is well known, the Jonah story has long been a subject of discussion, theological, scientific, ichthiological and otherwise, the issue being whether it involved a myth or a miracle, but never before to my knowledge has it demanded the formal consideration of a legal tribunal. The manner in which it now gets into the courts is this wise: Rev. Gustavus A. Hoffman, who was employed as a secretary to the Bible College, gave a note for $5,000. After two years of service he was discharged, and then he refused to pay the note, because, he aleges, the college was teaching that the story of Jonah's being swallowed by the whale is a myth. On the obligation the college has sued.

CASE, County Clerk and ex-Officio Clerk of the Superior Court of the State of Wasb- ington for King County. By MAURICE THOMPSON, Deputy. D. C.. CONOVER, * Attorney for Petitioner. . _« June Zl—Ane. 76 Friday, August 2. Personal. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Washington and Miss Nellie Cousins wish to express their sincere thanks to those who assisted them in their late bereavement, and likewise to those who sent floral tributes to the deceased. The late Mr. William F. Cousins, who died July 24, 1907, was 27 years and 4 months old, and was a native of Chilicatha, Ohio. The ladies of the Pioneer Social Club gave a pleasant outing at Wildwood Park in honor of Mrs. W. D. Allen last Tuesday, and a splendid feast in the wilderness was spread and a good time was the result. This is one of the most pleasant parks in close proximity to the city, and if visitors thereto are desirous of a good time by getting next to nature they can have it. On last Friday evening, in honor of Mrs. W. D. Allen, of Portland, Mrs. Graves entertained at whist at her home, 10231/2 East Madison. The guests were Mrs. W. D. Allen, Mrs. Marshall, Mr. and Mrs. P. A. DeBow, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hawkins, Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Cayton, Mr. and Mrs. A. R Black, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Stone, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Tutt, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, Mr. and Mrs. John Robinson, Miss Cora Oliver, Mr. J. F. Craigwell, Mr. I. I. Walker and Mr. Samuel Jones. Benjamin William, a deacon in the Mt. Zion Church, of this city, was arrested last Tuesday charged with having criminally assaulted Lyda Clark, a young girl only 16 years of age, whose parents are also prominent members of the same church, not only prominent members of that church, but one of the best families in the city. If Williams is guilty as charged he should be sent to the penitentiary for the balance of his life, and get off light at that. If he is guilty the unwritten law should be enforced on him by the father and relatives of the child, and no jury in the world would convict them of any infraction of the law. Mrs. J. B. Parker, of Spokane, is the guest of her daughter, Mrs. Andrew R. Black, this week, having arrived in the city last Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Parker have been residents of Spokane for the past twenty years, where they reared a large and interesting family, three of whom have married and two yet on the carpet. They own one of the most beautiful homes of any Afro-Americans in the city, a picture of which may be seen in the special edition of The Seattle Republican, and Mr. Parker is the owner of one of the most metropolitan barber shops in that city. Mrs. Parker is a professional heardresser, and has as her customers some of the most aristocratic citizens of Spokane. She will remain with her daughter and friends for some time. An unique picnic was held in one of the Tacoma suburbs by a large number of Afro-Americans hailing from both Tacoma and Seattle yesterday to commemorate the purchasing of a large number of lots in that special addition by many Negroes. So many made purchases there that if all of them should build on their properties there would be quite a large colony of Afro-Americans in that immediate vicinity. When these folk get the spirit THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN of buying real estate more thoroughly aroused in them and will buy a cheap lot instead of a high priced suit of clothes, the day is not far distant when they will be a part and parcel of this great busy commercial world of ours. A large delegation of Seattle folk went over to the picnic, many of whom did not own property there, but wanted to help those who did own celebrate and rejoice. DIXON-BLACK. At the Hymeneal altar last Wednesday evening at the residence of Mrs. Aurora E. Grose at 8 o'clock, Miss Carie Dixon and Mr. W. T. Black were made one amid a host of admiring friends. Some sixty odd guests had been invited to be present to witness the ceremonies and the most of them were on hand. The young lady made a handsome bride, most fair to look on as she stood attired in her bridal costume, and her partner in life made equally as fine looking groom. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. F. L. Donohoo. The home was elaborately decorated with bridal wreaths and cut flowers, which lent rare brilliancy to the occasion. Miss Dixon is the daughter of a pioneer of this city and the grandddaughter of the first Afro-American woman that ever came to Seattle. The presents were not only numerous but tastefully as well as serviceably selected. Mr. and Mrs. Black are at home to their friends at 436 Twenty-sixth Avenue North. Seattle, Wash., July 30, 1907. To the Editor: As there is considerable talk about me as to my authority in attacking the C. E. and Dr. M. A. Matthews, it behooves me to make a statement to the public. I am not so confined to the members of the church of God of Seattle or the Afro-Americans of the 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 same city, that I have got to consult them for support or authority to execute my duty in defense of Christianity and the cause of the black man. As I have recently done from time to time in this city, and more especially upon the C. E. and Dr. M. A. Matthews So it is up to the C. E. and Dr. M. A. Matthews to question me as to my authority in attacking them as I did. The black man or body of black men that try to defend the C. E. show that they are not friends to our race, nor neither to Bishop A. Walters of Bishop B. F. Lee, who showed that they were insulted by not coming to the C. E. convention, and again the black man that tries to defend Dr. M. A. Matthews in his devilish desire will show that Dr. M. A. Matthews knows his instincts and distincts, as he had made this remark about the black man. So every knock you give Elder J. M. Webb will send him up the hill instead of down, to knock on. SEATTLE THEATRE. Next week, beginning Sunday matinee, the Earl Burgess Company and Miss Bunting will be see nin "Rachel Goldstein," a sensational comedy drama written by Theodore Kremar. This is the first play from the pen of this author that Miss Bunting has appeared in here. The scenes of "Rachel Goldstein" are laid in the famous Ghetto colony of New York. The majority of the inhabitants of this locality are Jews, and "Rachel Goldstein" will not offend the most easily touched of that race. Miss Bunting's dialect is said to be perfect. She will be ably supported by the entir strength of the Earl Burgess Company, and a visit to the Yours truly, J. M. WEBB.
