THE OUOTATION DENIED. Mrs. Edith Tozier Weatherred, the chaparon of the nine Hawaiian girls, who recently visited Seattle, denies that she in any sense intimated in her speech that those young ladies were here looking for husbands, the report of the daily press and the subsequent comment of The Seattle Republican to the contrary notwithstanding. That the lady was misquoted The Seattle Republican now verily believes and for any one to be thoroughly convinced of that fact need but to talk to her on the subject. Mrs. Weatherred seems to be a most estimable lady and so far as quoting her is concerned The Seattle Republican was totally in error. She takes a most commendable as well as charitable view of the racial conditions in the United States and if more of the leading ladies of the land would share her opinions there would be far less fiction in this "land of the free (?) and home of the brave," between the whites and the blacks. The allegation on its face did not look cruelly raw, but when the same, if not in so many words, nevertheless strongly intimated, was published in the leading paper of the state without contradiction, then it sounded at least plausible, hence the comment. This paper has too high a regard for womanhood in general and especially Uncle Sam womanhood to not only not misquote her, but in any sense put her in a THE SEATTLE REPUBLIC SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1907. false light or at a disadvantage and therefore it becomes a real pleasure to correct the error. Like Banquo's ghost, that Brownsville outrage perpetrated by President Roosevelt on the Negro soldiers will not down, and it is more than probable that Foraker is going to have a whole bushel of fun out of it before it has been finally disposed of. That there is nothing in the veritable howl the Star set up about the city printing contract any publisher of sound judgment will readily testify. The Seattle Republican, as is known, is not much of an admirer of the Times, but when the Bulletin got the city printing at fifty cents per inch it by no means tore its shirt from a financial standpoint. Not even a weekly paper could afford to publish the matter for a less sum and make any great amount of money out of doing so. The Star itself would not do the work at that figure and why expect a newspaper to do work for the city for any less than for commercial houses. If there is a voter in Seattle that would vote against one of the councilmen because he voted to accept the bid of the Bulletin for the city printing at that price then such voter is too cheap to live in Seattle. Woman's beauty lies not in fine features, says an eastern paper. The idea is that beautiful features need not be adorned to manifest themselves. The thought is not only true, but easily apparent. However, who has either the time or the inclination to peek under a two-year-old hat for an admiration of lovely features. Let it be known that the wearer of plain clothes could purchase more elaborate ones if she wished and at once the beauty of her features, if she possesses any, asserts itself. Strange, but it's a way we have. A police woman, Miss Dorothy Stewart, keeps order in one of Chicago's largest theaters by simply looking pretty in her uniform and waving a flimsy handkerchief. A few among the sterner sex of Seattle's theater goers might stop to look at the fit of a policewoman's uniform providing the woman who wore it also had a pretty face, but when she, the police woman, ran up against one of those way back down Third avenue gallery strings waiting for the Grand to open its gallery window, if she depended only on a lace handkerchief she would meet with a great disappointment. With the rapid growth of Seattle it is daily becoming more apparent that a battle for bread is on and he who does not push to the front in some way must content himself with a scarce amount. Yet."times" can still become closer. In a part of New York, for instance, the owners of push carts often sleep in them or roll themselves up in blankets and sleep on the tops of their carts in order to hold their places near the curbstone. It will UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 BLICAN R 13. 1907. PRICE TEN CENTS be many years, however, before this city reaches that degree of intensity in the struggle for existence. The expected clash between the soldiers and the strikers at Goldfield has not occurred as yet, but the sooner it does the better it will be for the camp, as those cusses must be taught to fear the strong arm of the law even if the soldiers are forced to shoot to kill to bring that about. It is said on good authority that Ernest B. Herald, one of the deputies in the prosecuting attorney's office, will be a candidate for one of the superior court judges next year. Mr. Herald is said to possess quite a legal mind and has the turn of a very able jurist. With the preachers withdrawing their moral and religious support from the Y. M. C. A. on account of the association installing billiard and pool tables in their new building, it would appear that the association in Seattle has about outlived its usefulness. Notwithstanding the fact the National Republican Central Committee has past its half century milestone the next convention in Chicago June 16th will be something New under the son. Ankeny Has a Good Record," says a Times head-line. For what? Going back on those that helped to make him United States senator? In that we must admit his record is par excellent. Representative Humphrey is learning to do the "gallery stunt" all the same Jim Ham Lewis. Don't the people love to be humbugged. The Y. M. C. A.-preacher controversy is to resolve itself to a Lippy one, which, in other words, will be a mere war of words. Are we to understand from the verdict of the jury that the theatres in Seattle were not open for business on Sunday? Talkings of the third term touches Teddy in a tender spot, and he makes a pretense of putting a quietus on it. Why not send your legal publications to The Seattle Republican where you always get a square deal? There seems to be some doubt as to the alleged friendship of the Star for the Post-Intelligencer. The Seattle Republican publishes on Friday and bears that date. The Seattle Republican, Main 305. RECONABLE RATES. MAIN 305. Political Pot-Pie For Senator John L. Wilson denies having any gubernatorial aspirations or any political aspirations or ambitions of any class, kind or character. While Senator Wilson is more or less interested in the political checker board, yet he asks nor seeks no office for himself. * * * No Democrat has as yet filed his declaaration for the nomination of mayor of Seattle, but J. B. Metcalf has been asked to make the race by a large number of Democrats, as well as Republicans, and it begins to look as if he will be forced to do so. * * * H. H. Kulies, the well known Dutch Democrat, says he will contest the nomination for mayor with J. B. Metcalf or any one else seeking that nomination. A great many of the Democrats are opposed to nominating any one for mayor, but want to leave the head of the ticket blank so that Mayor William Hickman Moore may be voted for. * * * "In my opinion," said P. J. Smith, the well known politician from the north district, the man who will be nominated for mayor on the Republican ticket has not been named yet. Seattle's next mayor should be a man broad and liberal and able to do the city proud during the life of the A.-Y.-P. exposition." *** If Jim Agnew says he has the assured support of the Post-Intelligencer in his fight for sheriff he is as badly mistaken as was L. H. Gray in his assertion that Senator Wilson favored him for mayor. It was but a few months ago that Agnew declared he preferred the opposition of the P.-I. to its support, but now he is absolutely telling falsehoods about having the backing of the P.-I. If the Afro-Americans want to show their independence in politics why do they not name some one of their number for some of the nominations that are to be made. If such a candidate received only the votes of the Afro-Americans that would demonstrate that they were at least independent enough to vote for one of their number. * * * The Democrats met Thursday to formulate a platform on which to go before the voters after the direct primaries have been held but the gathering did not show complete harmony. If the Democrats ever hope to win a political fight they will have to get together and make a solid front. * * * It would seem that Hi Gill is to have the fight of his life for a renomination for councilman from the Third ward as F. M. Jefferey has filed his declaration for the same nomination. It is said that Jefferey has the support of D. W. Bowan in the fight, which would seem to indicate that Gill will have to hustle if he gets there. If both John E. Humphries and Lewis Levy are not nominated for mayor on the Republican ticket it will not be because they are not working like beavers. Judge Humphries has already fixed a number of dates THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. HON. ELLIS MORRISON when he will address the voters and explain his views. Mr. Levy is seeing his personal friends and making new acquaintances day in and day out. * * * If Gen. George W. Tibbets goes to the soldiers' home as commander, and there is hardly any doubt of it, Gov. Mead for once will have acted wisely. Gen. Tibbetts is a deserving old soldier as well as a King county politician and should have been remembered ere this. He will be heartily supported by the G. A. R. of King county as Gen. Ames desires to retire from the position. * * * Politicians as well as prominent business men all over the state will be pleased to learn that State Senator Walter J. Reed is to be married within the present month to a Miss Lydia MacMillian of a prominent Philadelphia family. From time to time Senator Reed has been spoken of in connection with the gubernatorial nomination, but he has always declined the honor. He is a candidate to succeed himself in the senate with fair prospects of winning out. There seems to be no doubt but that Theodore M. Daulton will be the Democratic nominee for city treasurer. Mr. Daulton, it will be remembered, was elected councilman some four years ago over the Republican nominee in the Seventh ward, which gave a Republican plurality of 1,600 on all other candidates and with Reber as his opponent he believes he is certain of winning. Harry Carroll, it is said, will be without an opponent in the primaries, which, if true, will be quite a compliment to him. The same state of affairs will prevail so far as Scott Calhoun is concerned. Rumor has it that Senator Piles contemplates breaking the Sweeney agreement so far as Charles Hopkins is concerned and have him removed from the marshall's office. As his successor the names of John FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1907. Wooding and Jim Agnew have been mentioned. Whereupon a well known Republican remarked: "It would seem that Jim Agnew had better shed his swadding clothes of Republican birth before wanting a place like United States marshall. He was a Democrat until he found it more profitable to be a Republican. * * * Quite a number of persons have already filed their declarations for places on the direct primary ballot seeking nominations from the various parties in Seattle, which primary election will be held the 3rd of February, 1908. They are as follows: [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. STATE SENATOR W. J. REED Who is to soon become a benedict. us a Se 4 ree a \ =“ ; 4 * Fx! © 4 i “ 2 5 acer nr a ee I all rn el we .

L. McCormick is leading the fight against the railroads in the lumber rate controversy. Can it be true that Mr. McCormick is independent of the rail- roads? It is true, but it spoils an awful pret- ty Democratic story cireulated when Wright was a candidate and believed by enough weak-kneed Republicans to assist in defeat- ing the best man that Tacoma has had an opportunity of voting for in a decade. If the Hon. Robert L. McCormick was mayor of Tacoma now—well, things would be differ- -ent. The eternal bickering at the City Hall would have ceased, and Tacoma would now be on a business basis. The lesson learned by Republicans has not been in vain, It will teach them, we hope, the advisability of nom- inating a good man and then voting for him. —Tacoma Forum. Why not elect him governor and thereby place him in line for the senatorship to suc- ceed Piles. Just think what a team Ankeny and MeCormick would make in the senate. A few days ago we received a letter from Hon.| Ellis Morrison, of Seattle, announcing that he would be a candidate for lieutenant governor on the Republican ticket at the next primary election to be held on the second ‘Tuesday in September, 1908. Mr. Morrison is not a stranger to the people of this state. Tn 1893 and 1895 he represented King county in the lower house of the state legislature and was elected speaker in 1895, He was chairman of the Republican State Central committee in 1902, and was a member of the Seattle city council for a number of years. ‘The writer has been personally acquainted with Mr. Morrison for twenty years, and if the lieutenant governorship is tu go to the west side of the state we do not know of a better man for the position.—Hartline Stan- dard. This is truly a ease of going away from home to hear the news, but nevertheless it’s good news and the Pie-maker predicts that Ellis Morrison will make a splendid showing for this nomination, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ABs enn Mane rkee tS erate spire 8. thr.

Carriers—Right to Recover Penalty for Refusing a Transfer Where Case is Made Up for That Purpose—In the recent case of Johnston y. New York City Railway Co., 104 N. Y. Supp. 812, the court effectively dis- courages a class of litigation from which many damage lawyers in New York expect- ed to reap a rich harvest. The court held in that case that a street railway is not liable for refusal to give a transfer to one who be- comes a passenger solely to lay a foundation to sue for such refusal. The court further held that such proof when disclosed cast dis- credit on all of plaintiff’s testimony. The court said: ‘‘This is an action to recover a penalty for a refusal by the defendant to give a transfer. The plaintiff in this case boarded a car at Wall and South streets, ‘going north, paid his fare, and asked for a transfer for a Chambers street and Broad- way car, which was given him, He then boarded a Chambers street car going west, and told the conductor he desired to use the transfer for riding on a Broadway car going north. This right was refused him, and he was also refused another transfer for the Broadway line, and on boarding a Broadway car was compelled to pay a second fare. Since the trial of this case the appellate divis- ion, first department, in the case. of Nichol- son v. N. Y. City Ry. Co., 103 N. Y. Supp. 695, has held that, to entitle the plaintiff to recover in actions of this character, it must be proven that the passenger became such in good faith, and for the purpose of going to some point on the line to which he wished to be transferred. Prior to this decision the motive that prompted the passenger in mak- could recover a penalty for being refused a transfer, and it is a reasonable presumption that in all the cases of this character, where the plaintiff recovered a judgment for a pen- alty, and where evidence was received tend- ing to show that the passenger was riding for the purpose of being refused a transfer and then bringing an action, such evidence was not considered. It is true that the court, in the Nicholson Case, states that the evi- dence in that case was uncontradicted, that the ‘sole’ purpose of the plaintiff in asking a transfer was to bring an action in case a transfer was refused, and that ‘the statute * * * by express provision precludes one from suing for a penalty who has no intent to go to a point on the connecting line but who takes the car merely for the purpose of putting himself in a position to bring an action;’ and respondent’s attorney urges that, where the passenger testifies that he has an actual point of destination and business to transact at that point, he is not precluded from recovering a penalty because he also testifies that one of his objects in taking the trip was to sue for the penalty if refused a transfer, This would be true if the court believed such testimony. In the case at bar, and in several others in which appeals are now pending in this court in actions of this character brought by the same plaintiff and others, the testimony shows many, and in some cases all, of the following facts, viz.: That the plaintiff has from five to fifty similar actions, so many, in fact, that he is unable to give the exact number; that the trips to be made and the routes over which they are to be taken were planned in advance in the office of the plain- tiff’s attorney; that such trips were to be taken on certain designated days, and the plaintiff then returned to the office of the attorney, where complaints were signed and sworn to, said complaints having been fully prepared in advance, except the filling in of the date and the route taken; that a sum- mons was then attached to the complaint, said summons in many instances having been obtained prior to the time the trip was taken, and the summons and complaint then deliv- ered to the officer for service; that in some instances the plaintiff has walked several blocks away from the point where he could have taken a car which would have taken him to his destination without a transfer, in order to board a car upon which he knew or had reason to believe a transfer would be re- fused. In many of the cases now pending upon appeal the plaintiff has testified to no business necessitating the making of the trip, and has admitted that one of his objects was to begin an action for the penalty, if refused a transfer. The testimony of a plaintiff is not always binding upon a court or jury. Where the facts and circumstances disclosed by the evidence are so much at variance with the direct testimony of a witness as to cast a doubt upon its truthfulness the mere declaration of an interested party is not to be given the greater credit. Such facts and circumstances, if weighed and believed by the court, would justifiably result in a judgment 3 te ore Soe a ATR Gh tm M4 sa ay ety eae as | i Ae Nay aaa Bee Hh 3 : eae 4 re as ae hey Sani ne "4 ye eh ae See eat Ft oe ia Cy ae peas a oe CN ies ieee ae.

The Seattle Times has already nominated and elected the next mayor of that city, with- out the aid or consent of the voters. Great is the power of the press.—Centralia Chronicle.

And they are laying their plans to capture Seattle and at once inaugurate a wide-open policy such as was in full foree and effect in Seattle some six years ago. The Todd murder has been rung through many changes, but how silent have been the Harbor papers on the dozen of floaters, un- doubtedly murdered, that have been found in the bay at Hoquiam and Aberdeen. These poor devils have been scarcely noticed, prob- ably because no one thought that a woman had been mixed up in the murders. As a matter of fact there are reasons to believe that even greater criminality would have been found had many of these eases of float- ers been investigated. Perhaps the Chron- icle may err but it believes that had the floater mysteries been thoroughly investigat- ed a gang of thugs and murderers would have been found that would have made the Todd murder seem commonplace.—Elma Chronicle. Reports from different parts of the county indicate that the opening of the new year will see a closing of the lid in this county that will surprise the natives. Evidence is being gath- ered in every town and city in the county, which will be laid before the county attorney. In Blaine, Sumas and Lynden, particularly, the advoates of Sunday closing are at work with energy and dispatch and they claim to be in shape to close the lid and sit in a very short time.—Sumas News. At the present time there is no valid excuse why J. J. Hill should not build the Wenat- chee-Orovill branch of the G. N. Railway. The only objection to building the road last sum- mer was the searcity of labor and as that ob- jection is removed we will expect Mr. Jim to go ahead with his road building, or we may be compelled to build it ourselves.

This is the last call—Brewster Rerald. longer on his slow motions. Labor is now ROOSEVELT’S RECENT MESSAGE. Without fear of successful contradiction it can be said of Theodore Roosevelt’s recent message to Congress that it was the most exhaustive as well as comprehensive docu- ment that was ever filed in the archives of the National Capitol. It was replete with meat for thought from beginning to end, so clear and so concise were the needs, and ne- cessities, of the government as well as the evils and remedies therefor pointed out that eyery person of average intelligence, who either read or heard the message read, knows well the nation’s case from an executive standpoint, and the most of the president’s fellow citizens heartily agree with him in all that he said therein, The Seattle Republican truly hopes that Congyess will favorably act onfeach and every recommendation therein and if it does we have no doubt but that the United States of America will be much the, better thereby. But with all of President Roosevelt’s nobleness of character and high aims as a publie benefactor, yet like Napolean the Great he does things seemingly just to the contrary of what one would expect him to do. Tt was said of Napoleon that though a Cor- sican by birth he sadly neglected the island after becoming emperor. Despite the fact he was a Roman Catholie he imprisoned the pope and did other things against the vital principles of the church. Notwithstanding the fact he was the guiding hand that over- threw the old French dynasty, fighting the people’s battles, yet he became the most heartless tyrant in all Europe on becoming emperor of France. “*All men up,”’ once said President Roose- velt, after being severely criticized by a dele- gation of Southern white men on account of Roosevelt having shown a disposition to treat the American Negro with fairness. ‘‘Would you have me close the door of hope on the Negro? Not so. He shall stand as fair be- fore the law as the most favored.’’? And he his high regard for the worthy black man and yet in his recent message as in previous ones not one reference or recommendation did he make to Congress that the wilful slaugh- tering of the black folk by the whites be checked. Soldiers are dispatched to Gold- field and to this and that place regardless of state rights, if human'‘life and property in- terests are in danger of mob violence, but the killing of Negroes by the scores in the South and for alleged crimes that in the ‘‘North’’ would amount to a mere petit offense, moves him not. It was while the president ‘was in the South that a Negro was lynched for hav- ing stolen seventy-five cents from a white boy. Another was lynched in Vicksburg, Miss., three days before the Roosevelt demon- stration there for an equally petit offense. At Brookhaven, Miss., a Negro was brained in the court room by the prosecuting attor- ney for answering his questions impudently FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1907. and the court publiely approved of his acts. But why recite these cases for similar ones oceur periodically year in and year out, but President Roosevel in all his wisdom officially sees them not. He may not ‘‘close the door of hope on the Negro and he may want ‘‘all men up,’’ but if as president he exhibits no greater proof of those broad principles tham the mere uttering of them then the Negro has. a very poor advocate at court. ° So far as the Negro is concerned what @ peculiar friend he has in Theodore Roosevelt. It was the Negro soldiers that saved the day for Colonel Roosevelt at San Juan Hill and yet in a subsequent magazine article Roose- velt, the historian, branded them as cowards and traitors, which he denied when candidate for the presidency. The same Theodore Roosevelt when governor of New York en- tertained a Negro singer in the governor’s. mansion on hearing that the hotels refused to provide accommodations for him. When the country went wild over his dining Prof. Book- er T. Washington he shrugged his shoulders and declared that the half had not been told so’ far as the Negro at the White House was concerned, but he never repeated the dining act. His discharge of the Negro soldiers was without precedent and while the facts brought out in the investigation clearly proved that the soldiers were innocent of the act, he permits the outrage to remain in a statu quo, thus showing how poorly he prae- tices what he preached ‘‘all men shoutd stand equal before the law.’’ That there is untold good in the man even all Negroes verily doeth know and truly be- lieve, but his peculiar methods of giving the, black folk of this country his proverbal “square deal’? passeth all understanding,~ ““God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform’’ and Time may yet demonstrate that Theodore Roosevelt is no less a friend to the Negro than the immortal Lincoln himself.

The only Negro bank north of the Mason and Dixon line came into being yesterday in this city. It is the People's Savings Bank, and it opened for business in unpretentious quarters at 1428 Lombard street. A string of depositors a quarter of a square long waited for the opening of the doors, Negro men and women filed up the stairs which lead to the office of George Henry White, the Negro President of the bank, and deposits of one, two and three dollars were made. George Henry White is a lawyer, a former Congressman from North Carolina, and ex-member of the Senate and House of Representatives from that State. He is also a former prosecutor of the Eastern Judicial District of North Carolina. At present he is practicing in this city. He has set aside a corner of his law office for the People's Savings Bank of Philadelphia, Pa., to give it its incorporated title. "We have had a good opening day," said George Henry White. "Our deposits have been fairly large. Ordinary avenues of banking and business being closed to members of the Colored race because of racial dislike, I thought that it would be a good plan to start a bank where the Colored people could deposit their money, instead of spending it. I want to teach the members of my race economy." First Vice President, E. W. Moore; Second Vice President, J. T. Seth; Treasurer, Walter P. Hall; Secretary, John Q. McDougal; Cashier, William J.
