We have our suspicions as to who Secretary Taft's choice for president of the United States is, but we refrain from making an open guess lest we discuss out of season some particular presidential Bill. In as much as Sunday is already a rest day for a large percentage of toiling humanity why not make it unanimous since everybody admits that there should at least be one rest day out of seven for workers either physically or mentally. Settling in a country because there are no fleas there as reasons a man from Missouri, who recently bought a farm in Yakima county, would seem to leave the impression that, the man from Missouri is troubled with dog blood which explains why he is so much annoyed with fleas in communities where such are found. Yes, Brer Snohomish Tribune, we thought the issue of The Seattle Republican of December 13th, from which you copied so extensively without giving due credit to any one of the rather spicy paragraphs, exceedingly clever, and we do not wholly blame you for palming them off as your own, but your readers must have thought you had hired an editor for Christmas. For Japan's sake we hope Secretary Taft's prediction that "War talk with Japan is foolishness and that Japan does not want to fight us, and we certainly do not want to fight (lick) Japan," is straight goods. Mr. Mikado for the past forty years has been going upwards by leaps and bounds, but not yet is he tall enough to write a-b-e-l to measure arms with your Uncle Sam. The coal mines of the United States are killing three times as many men per 1,000 employes, as those of most European countries. In the last seventeen years 22,840 men have given up their lives in the coal mines of this country. As many violent deaths have occurred in the mines the last six years as during the preceeding eleven years. The number of fatal accidents each year is now double that of the year 1897. In 1906, 6,861 men were killed or injured in the mines, THE SEATTLE REPUBLI the dead numbering 2,061 and the injured 4,800. While John Rosene may not have thought of entering the Alaska steam ship business with Capt. Caine until he saw it in the papers, we would like to suggest to Mr. Rosene that it is a good tip and if Capt. Caine is willing he had better not lose a single minute in striking a bargain. It would mean success for you from the very hour you got hooked up with Capt. Caine. "Do it now." Lacking only a few notches the thousand indictments returned against business men of Kansas City by the grand jury for Sunday opening would seem to indicate that, the moral wave is not confining itself to respectable communities, but is creating consternation by invading Missouri's "hell's half-acre." NEGRO LABOR ORGANIZATION. A Negro Labor Organization is now being advocated by Negroes themselves, and not only being advocated, but have begun to take definite shape, yea, the organization having been to an extent perfected some time ago in the city of Nashville. This organization proposes to travel along the same lines as the labor organizations of this country under the control of the white laborers, but will go a step or so further and draw the color line in admitting persons to membership. It will also have a beneficiary attached to it for members who become injured or decrepit in the performance of their duties, and in case of death a small sum to go to the family. Agents of this new organization are going to every community in the East, North and South where colored folk are employed and soliciting them to become members thereof, and in many instances succeeding beyond their expectations. The talk that "only Negroes will be members of the organization" seems to be the keynote to its membership success. In the United States there are labor organizations for every kind of work performed, and despite the fact that they do not always meet with our favor, yet they are practically the balance of power all over the country, so strong and united have they become. Now, is it necessary for Negroes to still organize another lot of bodies to accomplish the very same thing as those already organized, simply because their skins are black? If the leaders of labor organizations mean to accomplish what they set forth in their preambles, why is it necessary for Negroes to organize a separate body? Who is at fault for such a move? Do you forget the old adage, "A house divided against itself will fall?" If labor is to unite against capital, why not get all classes of laborers in one grand body and then march boldly on the strongholds of the enemy? If the Negroes of the United States succeed in establishing a strong central labor organization, it will simply mean an even more bitter warfare between white and black labor than has ever LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 PRICE TEN CENTS yet existed, and that is saying a great deal. The capitalist will from time to time play the one off against the other, and when the one class strike the other class will be given their places, and in the end neither of them will have accomplished practically anything. Laboring people, white and black, had better settle their troubles and join hands for mutual protection, or the whole lump lot of them will be down and out. That there is some excuse for Negroes organizing separate bodies for mutual protection is plain to be seen, and they are not to be blamed very much for pulling out from the white organizations. But the black man should not forget that he is the weaker element in this great controversy, and he is not wanted even by the capitalist as long as the white laborers and themselves get along harmoniously, but as soon as a difference arise then black men are imported, and so soon as the differences are settled then the black man is deported. While the white organizations do a great many things that are very objectionable to black folk, yet the latter should be willing to be a bit more generous than their white brethren and struggle to right the wrongs in labor circles without regard to color or nationality. It is utterly impossible to build up a black republic in the heart of a white republic, and race troubles will never cease until black folk become an undisputed part and parcel of all of the affairs of this republic. If the blacks will not accept such conditions, and if the whites as a body refuse to concede them, then the Negro must be either expelled outright from the country or exterminated, and, speaking more plainly, the Negro, who is so generally despised at present throughout the United States, must not only be absorbed by all of the labor organizations and the commercial enterprises of this land of ours, and eventually be even absorbed soul and body by the white folk and his identity being completely lost, or a bloody war will follow, and with the whites arrayed against the blacks, we shudder at the results. Circumstances have thrown whites and blacks together in the United States, and their differences should be harmonized in such a manner that it would be a crime for anyone to raise a race flag to array the whites against the blacks or vice versa. One country and one flag should be the motto of every citizen and subject claiming allegiance to the government of the United States, and then, and then only, will we see signs of the long looked for millenium. Thirty-five vessels are in Portland's harbor at the present time loading with wheat, flour and lumber for export—the greatest tonnage ever known. Statistics given for Puget Sound and Portland in recent proclamation of the Portland Commercial club have received widest publicity, the greatest financial papers in the United States printing them as an evidence of the prosperity of Washington and Oregon.—Walla Walla Argus. | S| sae Se re pi ee a ie ti GA eR air 8) Boca Gh Sa aa ie oe +4 Pee eae eet ak fag El gee ve yee daa eg ik eS Be al PR ce tan ie 0 ea RES eR Se On ss te Sei.

From Central Law Journal. a clear field for the establishment of the means by which it is to endeavor to promote the general welfare of its citizens. It is to be congratulated in having a governor of splendid endowments actively alive to the needs of the young state. Nothing but the best is good enough for her. We are in receipt of a proposed juvenile delinquent law for the new state, which we regard the best proposition of the kind yet worked out. It seems to us a model of in- telligent conception of the means -to reach the many unfortunate boys who have had no chance to do well, as well as those who have. It is entitled an act to provide for the disci- pline and edueation of delinquent children, and for punishment of persons responsible for such delinquency; for ereating a juvenile commission, juvenile courts and juvenile judicial districts, and for the establishment and maintenance of a juvenile college. What a magnificent conception of justice! But it will bear a close view: Article I pro- vides for a juvenile commission which is to consist of judges of the juvenile courts together with the governor of the state and the state superintendent of public instruction. Section 1 of Article II provides for three juv- enile judicial districts which are designated. Section 2 of Article II provides for the ap- pointment of judges of said districts by a juvenile commission, thus removing the administration of the law completely out of partisan , polities. One of the most interesting and valuable provisions of this proposed law is that creat- ing a supreme juvenile court, with the chair- man ‘of the juvenile commission sitting as chief justice, to be held at the juvenile col- lege. A remarkable provision of this section is as follows: ‘‘Said court shall establish its procedure, which shall be consonant with the principles of equity.’’ This removes the juve- nile court out of the criminal branch of, the law to the place where it belongs as a branch of equity jurisprudence. This section then closts with the still more unusual provision giving such juvenile courts exclusive jurisdic- tion in all cases relating to the custody, ex- amination, trial, correction, discipline and education of all delinquent children under the age of eighteen years and concurrent jurisdiction of all persons over the age of eighteen years charged with violating the law herein, The next section, as if to emphasize the fact that the juvenile court shall be a court of equity and not a police court, pro- vides that in all matters relating to delin- quent children under the age of eighteen years the court shall exercise equity jurisdic- tion, adopting that form of procedure deemed best suited to a particular case. The provisions of this law noted in the preceding paragraph are complete innova- tions. They are quite in line, however, with suggestions which have been repeatedly made in these columns, to-wit, that the juvenile court laws created no new jurisdiction but were simply a branch of equity jurispru- dence already fully established. We have wr a ee eae AE Ries AMS ee ee Sm | MAS ee 2, | eee THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN OCrter Maue VY COG ae Step eee we ee denominated the Hivertiie adiert as a special criminal court of limited statutory jurisdic- tion. We understand from some of our many friends in the new state of Oklahoma that these suggestions and eriticisms of the Cen- tral Law Journal were given the most careful consideration and assisted largely in shaping the proposed legislation. See 61 Cent. L. J. 101, 161. Another exceedingly important, feature of the act is that defining the character of the judgment to be rendered by the juvenile court as follows: ‘‘Upon judgment of the juvenile court that a child is delinquent here- under the judge shall enter a decree commit- ting the child either (1) to its parents or guardian, subject to the visitation and con- trol of the probation officer, or (2) to any suit- able family open to the court for such pur- pose, subject to the visitation and eontrol f the probation officer, or (3) to any institution adapted to the correction, discipline and ed- ueation of children, or (4) to the Oklahoma Juvenile College. All deerees so entered by the court shall be under its control until the child reaches the age of twenty-one years, except said decree committeing a child to the juvenile college: Provided that no child under the age of eighteen shall be’ commit- ted to any jail, common lock-up or peniten- tiary, except as hereinafter provided; and provided further that no decree entered by the court hereunder shall be vidence in a criminal procedure before a caurt at law.’” It is certainly one of the most notable feat- ures of this act that it does not enact a lot of laws for government of the delinquents but regards the jurisdiction of such courts as a part of the equity jurisprudence which is pro- vided for in the constitution of Oklahoma. Its administration will depend largely on the wisdom of the juvenile judges which we re- gard as a desirable feature. The fact is that the many legislative enactments in other states hamper rather than aid the work of the judges of these courts, while the Oklahoma provisions are the simplest possible, leaving a wise judge a wide latitude in which to work out justice to the delinquent. The chief concern of government is the vir- tue of its citizens. The truth of the business jis that we have been following wrong ideals. If the citizens of a country had the right ideals there would be no trouble. A govern- ment should be so constituted that all its citizens would feel that they had a part in it and were part and parcel of it. There must be more of an effort in the legislation of our states and national government to lift all its citizens up so that all may enjoy together an understanding of what the nation’s real needs are. We need to add ‘‘deeds to our knowl- edge answerable.’’ We see the effects of separating the rulers and the ruling classes by a great social gulf between them and the masses, in Russia and China. If a part of mankind may be looked upon by the other part as brother to the ox, whose fault is it if this brother to the ox should rise up and shake the world with his rebellions? The weaker brother needs the helping hand of the stronger. Ry SCREEN EON ema ' \ \ " } i Vie FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1907. means that the state will reach down its strong right hand and help the weak. Christ said: ‘‘When you do it unto the least of these ye have done it unto me.’’ The law will not be fulfilled till our churches and our goy- ernments shall so act that all are lifted up. WASHINGTON WEEKLY PRESS. With such fine weather as we have been enjoying during the past few weeks, it is hard to realize that winter is here. Wash- ington’s winter climate is certainly hard to beat.—Odessa Record. A earload of brook trout from the govern- ment hatchery at Bozeman arrived at Moseo: n Saturday of last week. One hundred 42.) fifty thousand were taken from the car there and 200,000 were removed at Troy. These fish will be put into many streams, the upper Palouse getting its share. The fish are east- ern brook trout, and if let alone for another year will afford fine sport for those piscator- ially inelined. We at this end of the Palouse river should receive benefits from the fish planting. California, through fish propaga- tion, has kept its streams alive with trout, even those near the Bay City afford rare sport for the thousands who go out every year. Piscieulture is a scientific business, one that cannot be taken hold of any too strenuously. —Colfax Gazette. There were ninety empty freight cars stored on the side tracks on the N. P. termin- al grounds at South Bend last week, with more coming every day. The side tracks all along the South Bend branch are said to be full of idle empty cars. That looks as if the railroads had over reached themseives in raising the lumber tariff and thus closing down the mill which produced the freight.— Chinook Observer. “While Odessa ranks fourth in amount of taxable property, commercially it is the most important town in the county. We do not say this in a spirit of boastfulness, but state ‘it as a plain fagt, that is evident to any ob- serving person. And personally, we are proud of our town and its development, and of course don’t like to see it underrated.— Record. "i The report that John L. Wilson of the Se- attle Post-Intelligencer will be a candidate for governor, may be true or it may not, but. what we have seen and heard of the gentle- man leads us to believe that the State of Washington has few men as able to fill the place.—Island County Times. Judge C. H. Neal, at one time judge of this district, was elected mayor of Dayen- port last week. The judge stated his position before the election, telling the people that he would enforee the laws to the letter and he was elected by a large majority —Big Bend Empire. 4 Here is where the: Yakima Daily Republic makes a wise guess. It says: ‘‘We think that within five years Sunnyside land values will be double or treble what they are now.’? —Republican.. : ; oo? , : , , ; ee / io eed pci : } / (ae To r Se I rea eRe. gen OR aa asi dpeenemen ary fame ce id re, : “ced Ree amie “MW i ee!

He is driven from Portland, comes’ to Tacoma, where he is put on a boat for Seattle. On ar- riving at that burg, the police raise a fund to return him to Tacoma. Such proceedings indieate how shallow our civilization is; how little man does for man when not impelled by some ulterior force. The State cares for the unfortunate insane; that is, herds them until they die off or by chance become ra- tional again. The modern world recognizes insanity as a disease and not the visitation of unclean spirits, and common sense should dic- tate that mentally deranged people should be cared for, even if a hundred experts in mental science should be hired, and have the army of insane cured and sent home to be- come producers and not remain at Steila- oom and Medical Lake charges of the State. At Walla Walla we maintain a school for erime. What! you exclaim. Well, what man after serving a term in a penal institution re- turns to his home a better citizen? Some go away, where they are unknown, change their name and try to forget the awful sear in their experience, but the majority alas! drift low- er and lower until the melge in the profes- sional criminal class. Sturdy old Oliver Cromwell protested to the English parlia- ment against the execution of men for petty etimes, yet the nineteenth century was ush- ered into England by the hanging of a boy for a small theft. Buta change was wrought and of the 133. eapital crimes of the British statute books only two remain, or practically one, as the law against treason has not been enforced in a century. By the new British Jaw, first offenders are given a chance, and of 1100 such in one year in London less than 10 per cent. came before the courts a second time. Our merciful Judge Linck, endeavoring to. follow the example of the British law, gives as far as the limitations of our laws would allow, and his name and game of this court are known throughout the country. Jack London when a boy ran away from home to see Niagara Falls; beat his way there as you or I, gentle reader, may have often THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN done; he a eyes on the glorious sight, typical of the mighty nations—the greatest’ republic and the greatest empire in the world. On its banks he slept all night in an open field; he started back next morn- ing to have another look, but was arrested on the way. He stole nothing, begged from no one, yet was. ragged, and was sent to prison, chained to a black criminal and marched through the streets of a busy city crowded with staring tourists to the depot. Not a word was he allowed to say in his de- fense, and after his association for sixty days with notorious criminals, if Jack London had not the right stuff in him instead of being the greatest and most popular writer in the Unit- ed States today, he might be one of our great- est criminals. The recent financial flurry has closed down many mills, factories and logging camps, fill- ing our cities with idle men, mostly of an im- provident class. The writer has lived and worked with them for years—not one of them but would divide his last dime with another poor deyil in distress. They know not the value of money nor the comforts of life for which it may be exchanged. When money is plentitful and jobs galore, it is spent with reckless profligacy. When hard times come, nothing to do, no one to borrow from, and they lie around some saloon, robberies be- come prevalent, and some night they are jugged. They are put in that relief of barbar- ism, the chain gang. What man can ever be the same again after working his fine out in that infernal institution. Go where he may, some one—perhaps another unfortunate— will meet him and say, ‘‘Oh, didn’t I see you on the chain gang in Tacoma?’’ ‘If we must punish men for the atrocious crime of being poor, let us do it decently and not parade their shame like Jack London’s in the street of a busy city. Let some committee of citi- zens join with the Associated Charities or some other benevolent institution and pro- vide temporary work for the idle, that the man who is willing to work and is penniless may not drift into crime. A great American economist confessed that he was once so hard up that he determined to rob some one that night if he did not secure employment. He did seeure employment, and later the conti- nents of America, Europe and Australia rang with the applause of his name. The state should provide for men like Grib- ble, and the cities should provide for their unemployed. The $138,000 paid yearly by the saloons of this city come mostly from the poor toiler. If the city cannot protect him against pitfalls and dangers it should pro- vide something for him when unemployed. The higher civilization of the future shall protect the worker; these poor fellows who in the language of Charles IL make their money working like horses and spend it like asses.—Tacoma Forum. JAPAN STEALING AMER- ICAN CIVILIZATION. The Japanese Current, a monthly magazine published in this city by a Japanese, talks almost like a philosopher in reply to the criticism of a Californian accusing Japan of stealing American civilization ideas. There being so much good horse sense in the article from start to finish that it is herewith pro- duced. A Californian accuses Japanese of stealing American civilization. If getting the benefit of civilization is to be ealled stealing, then there are mighty few things in the world that are as honorable as stealiag. In that Californian’s opinion, the ancient Romans were thieves, for they stole the Greek civilization; the medieval Europeans the robbers, for they robbed the Romans of their civilization; the modern Americans the swindlers, for they swiped the European civ- ilization. This is a serious charge, that of the Cali- fornian. Some high authority ought to make a law against the stealing of civilization. Any one aceused of that offense ought to be pun- ished with exclusion from the civilized so- ciety. But you can not do that very well be- cause after the offender committed that par- ticular offense he becomes a member of the civilized society. If you want to be sure that you have got civilization to your eredit, do not leave it in the banks. Just withdraw all your eiviliza- tion from the banks, and keep it in your waist coat pocket, and sew your pocket. Then no Japanese will steal your civilization. But why not reciproeate stealing? The Japanese have a kind of civilization of their own. You’ve got yours. If we-steal yours, you steal, ours. As a matter of fact, you al- ready have begun to steal from us. Didn’t President Roosevelt steal from Admiral Togo, Togo the Japanese admiral, when he made use of Togo’s own words in one of his mess- ages to the men of the American navy? Don’t your American ladies steal from the Japanese ladies, since they wear kimono, whieh was patented by our ladies in Japan? We do not want to enumerate all the thefts perpetrated by your people, since it might lead to an unpleasant war of words. Suffice it to say that we steal civilization from each other. We are honorszble thieves. Let us endeavor to steal more aad more, until we can steal no more. SWEAR OFF FROM In view of the fact that next Wednesday is New Year and the time when the most of us swear off from doing things that we ought not to do; and in view of the fact that we each have our own ideas of what the other fellow ought not to do, we therefore suggest that the following persons swear off during the ensuing year from doing what we think they ought not to do: Editor Alden J. Blethen—Newspaper lying. Editor Brainerd—Double-crossing. Editor Wells—Leaving home when dirty work is to be done. Senator Wilson—Hollering wolf. Jimmy Hoge—Thinking himself the only man with a dollar. Jacob Furth—Making money. J Edward Hawkins—Turning tricks. Mayor Moore—Seeing the pigeon on the barr. but not seeing the barn. Cit. Engineer Thomson—Building garbage crematories in ninety days. Jim Agnew—Changing his politics to get a job. Hi Gill—Giving away streets to pay campaign debts. Major O. A. Case—Wanting an office for life. Eddie Raine—Thinking the voters owe him an office. Lewis Levy—Getting excited. John E. Humphries—Winning damage suits. James A. Moore—Getting corners on the Northwest. John H. McGraw—Holding a dollar until the eagle screams. J. B. MacDougall—Giving away dry goods. George A. Virtue—Letting his two bits continue making a fool of him. Dr. M. A. Matthews—Preaching one thing and practicing another. W. P. Trimble—Appearing cold and indifferent. Andrew Hemrich—Selling Rainier. Dr. Hoye—Shying when a shrivialty ball is thrown at him. Sheriff Smith—Wanting to retire from politics. Judge Gordon—Wanting to go on the superior court bench. Joe Blethen—Mixing with the other Blethens. A. P. Sawyer—Telling the truth. It hurts. C. B. Yandell—Making an ass of himself. Chief Wappenstein—Overlooking the Oriental games. Kenneth Mackintosh—Truckling to the Times. Daily Times—Blackmailing business men. George Stevenson—Running an Ankeny skin game. Edward B. Palmer—Patronizing the Argus. Dr. J. L. Neagle—Being a wise old guy. Charlie Hopkins—Political switching. Elmer Todd—Depending on others. Arns S. Allen—Mixing gambling devices with Christian affairs. Edward Brady—Being hoodooed by George Cotterill. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. E. HESTER GUIE. Who May Butt In the Corporation Counsel Fight If He Does There Will Be Things Doing. Dr. Titus—Getting in jail to pose as a martyr. Gene Way—Keep his hands out of politics. Gov. Mead—Promising political jobs. C. E. Coon—Fighting John L. Wilson. S. H. Nichols—Patronizing the Times. John D. Atkinson—Getting political nominations. E. W. Ross—Remembering friends. C. W. Claussen—Stopping grafts. W. B. Bryan—Going fishing. George Mills—Refusing clearing house certificates. Senator Ankeny—Fighting the Seattle Daily Times. Senator Piles—Standing by his friends. Will E. Humphrey—Making gallery plays. W. L. Jones—Getting in Ankeny's way. Frank Cushman—Working for Piles' place. It might not be out of place to suggest to the most of the above to also take a sneak on the "water wagon." Political Pot-Pie F. C. Robertson, the Spokane Louisiana Democrat, who, it will be remembered, ran for congress on the Democratic ticket two years ago, visited Seattle the other day with the intention of launching a boom for Gov. Johnson of Minnesota for the Democratic nomination for president next year. Poor old Robertson—he is eternally either on a wild-goose chase or barking at the moon. Samuel G. Cosgrove, would-be governor of the state, who has already campaigned in every county in the state in his own interest, broke away from his labors last Saturday that he might be home Christmas morning to meet Santa Claus? spent Sunday in the city shaking hands with the brethren and attended the meeting of the board of regents of the State University Monday and left for home Tuesday. "You are shaking hands with the next governor of the state," he blushingly remarked. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1907. ANKENY ON THE GRIDIRON. The News-Letter received this week a clipping from the Seattle Times attempting to show that the record made by Senator Ankeny is an excellent one. Perhaps the statement made by the Seattle Republican concerning anything that appears in Blethen's sheet would apply to this: "Saw it in the Times, damn lie."—Colton News-Letter. Senator Ankeny seems to have got his campaign bureau well in operation, and the Standard is in receipt of a number of articles for publication to show that he should be re-elected. It is needless to say that they have reached the wrong channel for aid in fence-building. The state should elect an abler man for the high position.—Washington Standard. Judging from the simultaneous publication in a number of our exchanges of the official record of Senator Ankeny, we are lead to the belief that our senior senator has opened his press bureau.—Centralia Chronicle. In the language of the German, "there will be things diding" immediately after the holidays, Charlie Hopkins, United States marshal, is now in Washington, it is believed, trying to explain to the government the whys and wherefores, etc., at McNeil's island. It is quite likely that Charlie will be put on the carpet. There is a Seattle rumor afloat that John Wodding, of Auburn, is to succeed Hopkins. This report may be a trifle premature, though it is known that McNeil's island has caused some trouble. If John Wodding takes the place it is the belief that a genuine shake-up will be made in the office. Wooding is a good fellow and would make a splendid officer.—Tacoma Forum. United States Senator Levi Ankeny's friends are sending out pages of the Seattle Times that contain extracts from the records at Washington showing the amount of good work done by that gentleman in the senate for the state of Washington. No person denies but what the senator has accomplished a great deal for the state, and he may accomplish a great deal more before the end of his term. But if the people want a change in the senate it will be made notwithstanding any pledges made by a few Seattle politicians in 1905 to support Mr. Ankeny for re-election provided he threw his support to help elect Samuel H. Piles to the senate. Politicians may pledge a man's vote for a certain purpose but the man who casts the vote will exercise the right to cast it as he pleases. Hartline Standard. Mrs. O. M. Moore went to Seattle Tuesday to spend the holidays with her people there. She will return some time next year.—Elma Chronicle. Mrs. Moore is the wife of the owner of the Morning Washingtonian published at Hoquiam, who is well known in Seattle. She is also the sister of Mrs. Alden J. Blethen, Sr., editor in chief of the Daily Times. Mr. and Mrs. Moore have a host of friends in Seattle. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington for King County.
