Water wagon broke down so soon? Periodically the Star's petit thief breaks out in a fresh place. Municipal politics in Seattle is rapidly reaching the kill-kinney cat stage. If the memory of Abraham Lincoln is not kept green it will be no fault of the Negroes of the United States. Russia's present Douma is made up solely of aristocrats, which more strictly interpreted, means a Douma of pollycrats. Charley McAlister may not be a double crosser, but if you ever have any business with him you some how or other get that opinion. Notwithstanding Seattle's almost countless number of playhouses and theatres a surging mass of humanity last Saturday evening wildly demanded Moore. With a peonage system still raging throughout the South one can readily understand why that section of the country is still a hundred years behind the times. Jerome and Evelyn, the stars of the Thaw murder trial, are trimming their sails for another spread-eagle display. When it's all over the three will make splendid subjects for a dime museum. "Unions not well understood," says a head line in the Union Record. Right you are neighbor, but if you ever have any dealings with them you will understand them and that to your heart's sorrow. Washington National Guard circles has another Case of internal derangements and these are of such frequent occurrence that, the citizens of the state are coming to the conclusion that the army farce might be cut out without any serious loss to any one. Solving the servant problem has been accomplished by a man, but he has solved it THE SEATTLE REPUBLIC JOHN H. McGRAW. along the same lines that those wanting to work for others have objected to since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. A majority of those employing servants always impose upon them and desire to have them appear more as slaves than employees. Persons employed in the homes of others are there more as assistants than servants and the sooner the employees wake up to that fact the sooner will they get competent help when they want it. IN THE PUBLIC EYE. James A. Moore, the well known promoter and city builder, for the past week has been very much in the public eye. The opening of the new Moore theatre last Saturday evening, which attracted thousands of persons, even to the governor of the state, was the beginning of Mr. Moore's public misfortunes and his coming forward with a $500 contribution to the Washington Children's Home, which burned last Saturday morning, for its rebuilding, have been widely and favorably commented upon by every one, thus giving him equally as much notoriety as the theatre. Hon. John L. Wilson, who has been in the hospital for the past ten days or more, is slowly but surely improving in health and will, it is hoped, be able in a very few days to again be at his home and then to his office. Mr. Wilson's numerous friends have been very solicitous about him since they first learned he was at the hospital, but there is no need of alarm as he is already on the high road to recovery. [Picture of a man in a suit and bow tie]. E. W. ROSS. PRICE TEN CENTS Gov. Albert E. Meade spent last Saturday and Sunday in Seattle and while he was in the city to be present at the auspicious opening of the Moore theatre, yet he took advantage of his presence in the city and shook hands with a great many of his political acquaintances. The governor is anxious to succeed himself and he is doing some clever political stunts these days. Hon. John H. McGraw left last Monday evening for Washington City to be at the capitol for a number of days. He is the president of the chamber of commerce and as the representative of that body will lobby among the members of Congress for the passage of the A.-Y.-P. bill, which has already been introduced in the senate. Few men in the city can do as effective work for Seattle as John McGraw and the chamber of commerce has done well in sending him to Washington City. E. W. Ross, state land commissioner, spent last Tuesday in the city on state business, and incidentally shook hands with a few of his friends and acquaintances. "I was amused at the last issue of The Seattle Republican whereby I was warned to swear off from remembering my friends. That's quite hard for me to do as I seem constitutionally weak in that direction. I believe in remembering my friends and I not only believe in it, but I make it a rule of my life. I do not mean for you to infer that I punish my enemies, but I do want you to understand that I never forget my friends." In the above Mr. Ross must be quite correct for The Seattle Republican is aware of the fact that he has always held his friends, which is not always done by men of a public character. W. H. Hughes has sold his interest in the Hartline Standard and will seek some other business opening. Mr. Hughes was a member of the ninth legislature and was one of its most valuable members. He was for a long time a resident of Seattle, where he still has a host of friends and acquaintances all of whom truly hope that he will again pitch his tent in the Queen City. He, however, has agreed to stay with the paper until next March or April in order to give the new purchaser time to take hold of the plant himself. The Seattle Republican is reasonable in its charges for publishing legal notices and it would take it as a personal favor if you would remember it when you have a ntice for publication. The office is 307 Epler Block and the telephone number is Main 305. The publication day is Friday and notices are received up to noon of that day. Although not heard round the world, the shots fired at Brownsville are noteworthy for the amazing tenacity of their echoes.—The Chicago Daily News. a Wie ori See Na Si cH a si pace Sa Ck Sanne 7 at I ata 8-5 i MIS RS re de ARNE Rt a a SAL a a RR a) | Moa Bi a cr ais a RS district attorney, in speaking of the legality of candidates making announcements in newspapers under the direet primary law, gives the following opinion? Section 28 of the primary election law of 1907 prohibits a person, in aid of his own nomination, to public office, from directly or indirectly giving, paying, expending, or contributing or promising so to do, any money or other thing of value, except per- sonal expenses. ‘‘Personal expenses,’’ aq used in the Act, is defined to include only expenses directly incurred, or paid by a can- didate for traveling and incidentals there- to; for writing and printing letters, cireulars, and other publications, not issued at regular intervals; for stationery, postage, telegraph, telephone, and messenger services, and for other similar services; and for the necessary expenses of hiring halls and other rooms for the purpose of holding meetings. It is further provided in said Section, that “no person shall be competent to qualify for any publie office, who shall have, prior to the holding of any primary election, paid, or promised, or agreed to pay, either directly or through another, or in any manner what- soever, to the owner, publisher, manager, or representative of any newspaper, any sum of money or any other thing of value, for any article or published statement in a newspa- per, wherein the electors are ‘‘advised or counselled’’ to vote for such candidate, or his fitness or qualifications for office, are set forth or his photograph or his biography pub- lished.”’ Section 30 of the Act makes it unlawful for proprietors and managers of newspapers to accept money from candidates as a con- sideration for such newspaper or periodical supporting and advoeating the election or defeat of any candidate, and provides pen- alties. However, it is further provided in said Act, as follows: ‘‘Nothing herein shall prevent any person or persons, firm, or cor- poration engaged in the publication of any newspaper, magazine, or periodical from re- ceiving for publication and publishing any matter, article, or articles advocating the election or defeat of any candidate or eandi- dates and receiving a consideration therefor, if such articles so published or printed have placed at the beginning thereof in plain tiype of black-faced Roman eapitals in a conspicu- ous place, the statement ‘‘PAID ADVER- TISEMENT.”’ But this section shall not be construed as permitting the payment for any publication prohibited by section twenty- eight of this Act.’’ Clearly, the intent of the law is to pro- hibit newspapers, for a monied consideration, from ‘‘advocating and counselling’ either the election or the defeat of a candidate. Certainly, it is not the intent of the law that a candidate for election should be confined to what is commonly known as a ‘still hunt,’” or that the fact of the candidacy of any per- son for any public office should not receive publicity. Paid advertisements are recog- nized as being legitimate, within certain lim- its, and the simple paid card announcement, or advertisement, without photograph or THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN in my opinion, a violation of either the letter or the spirit of the primary law.

EMANCIPATION DAY. Seattle's Afro-American citizens met at the hall of the same name last Wednesday evening to listen to patriotic addresses of their own making in honor of the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, which took effect January 1st, 1863. The chairman of the program committee had arranged a splendid program for the occasion and those present seem to have heartily enjoyed the proceedings. To keep the memory of Lincoln green should and verily always will be a pride in the heart of the Negro of the United States and no I. F. NORRIS, President Sunday Forum. I. ISERAL WALKER. more fitting way could be devised for the so doing than the annual holding of such exercises as the aforesaid. Therefore with music and speeches those present made the welcome ring and Lincoln himself would have felt proud of the people from whose limbs he broke the bonds of chatteldom forty-five years ago could he have been present on that occasion. President I. F. Norris in his introductory remarks dwelt fervently on the time, the occasion and the man for whom they had assembled to do honor. And after encouraging the older heads to not be discouraged as they were really doing better than they some times believed they were, made a pathetic appeal to the younger generation to take up the burden where their fathers and mothers were laying it down and push on to a greater victory. Rev. J. W. Edmonson spoke on the Emancipation and the issuance thereof. His talk met the approval of those present so fully that his remarks were frequently interrupted with outbursts of applause. There is perhaps no more practical talker in the Northwest than Rev. Edmonson and he always pleases his audiences whenever he talks. Cleverly encouched among the reminiscences of his talk about the issuing of the proclamation was splendid advice to the Negro which if heeded would do much toward helping them on to a higher and better life. W. M. J. Wylie, one of Seattle's Negro builders and contractors, spoke of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the Negro in History and in a matter of fact way that was full of meat for thought. Mr. Wylie eschewed the black man of ancient and medeaval history, but treated him as he appeared on the American scene and dwelt with him from that time to the present. While he declared that the black man since his emancipation had done well, still he must not linger or loiter now, but push on as he had never before as the critical point of his existence among his Anglo-Saxon brethren had just been reached. If you would have others do well you must first do well yourself, is a sermon that should be preached by ABRAHA The Mighty A. B. ABRAHAM LINCOLN, The Mighty Emancipator every man of prominence. Mr. I. I. Walker evidently was thoroughly imbued with that idea for in preparing to speak for this occasion on the Negro in Business he did so with much care and consideration. His address was a masterly effort and bristled with statistics that proved an eye opener to many of those present who thought they were pretty well up on Afro-Americanism. After taking a sweeping observation of the Negro all over the United States he read the Negroes of Seattle a lecture that they will not soon forget as to their business lethargy. "There are a sufficient number of Negro families in Seattle if only half of them patronized one grocery store to guarantee such a store at least $3,000 patronage per month, and why not do that and do it now," was one of the striking points of his paper. Hayden Richardson recited an extract from the speech of Wendal Philips, a tribute to Toousant L'Oveture, the distinguished Haytian general, who drove the French from the island and secured freedom for the Negroes thereof. It was one of the most pleasing features of the entire program. Mr. Richardson is one of the rising young men of the city without regard to color or complexion and it has been long since voted that he is one of the best reciters that can be casually picked up. The very mention of his name at public meetings always illicits rounds of applause and he was not lacking on this occasion. ```markdown ``` A. Gärfield Harrison, the young attorney that is just starting in business in Seattle, talked entertainingly as well as interestingly on the Negro in Professions. Mr. Harrison is a ripe scholar and his paper was full of splendid similes as well as hard facts, all of which made a most favorable impression on his listeners. That the professional Negro has, for the most part, an up hill pull there is no doubt, but perseverance will overcome it all, and he is rapidly showing signs of laying a splendid foundation for himself and the rising generations. H. R. Cayton talked on Negro as a Citizen, after which the meeting closed A. B. and was voted one of the best ever held in the city under the auspices of Afro-Americans. The whole program was interspersed with musical and vocal selections, all of which were roundly applauded. Lincoln's Advice--These words by Abraham Lincoln, now a classic of American literature, should be printed in every paper in the land at least once a year. They were uttered 70 years ago by a then obscure young lawyer, but the words, like burning coals, are alive for all occasions: "Let reverence for the laws be taught in schools, in seminaries and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books and almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls and enforced in courts of justice. And, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation; and let the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions sacrifice unceasingly upon its altar." Ex. NEGROES IN PHILADELPHIA. The Negroes of Philadelphia own 802 pieces of property valued at $2,438.675, which is an average of about $3,040 each. The largest numer of properties are valued between $1,000 and $3,00 and nearly three-fourths of them are $3,00 and under. The highest single valuation is $28,000 and the lowest a lot for $75. Though the as- --- sessed valuation is supposed to approximate as nearly as possible the real value of the property, still, after careful comparison, I am of the opinion that the above represents an investment of between four and a half and five million dollars by the Negroes concerned. Besides the above there are about forty church edifices owned by Negroes valued at from $1,000 to $600,000. There are many Negroes who own real estate outside of the city. Two are known to the writer to have more than $25,000 worth of real estate in other places, while many others own a lot or small farm outside of Phila- A. GARFIELD HARRISON. HAYDEN RICHARDSON. delphia. The largest individual Negro property holder in the city owns not less than 23 city houses assessed at from $9,000 to $18,000, and owns property also in New Jersey and Virginia. He was born in Virginia of slave parents, and came to Pennsylvania after he was 21 years of age. He has steadily built up a good business, and amassed a large amount of real estate, besides being financially interested in many of the business and industrial movements among the Negroes of the city.—Tuskegee Student.

It is expected that there will be quite a rush on that day, as a whole lot of contemplated candidates are holding back for the express purpose of being placed at the bottom of the ticket. * * * George F. Russell, as was predicted by the Pie-maker some two weeks ago, has finally decided to get in the mayorality scramble, but is one of those would-be candidates that will hold back until the very last minute in order to be at the bottom of the ticket. Russell is considered a dangerous candidate by other Republican nominee aspirants and so much so that T. P. Revelle, after Russell decided to get in the fight, refused to stand for the mayorality nomination and has filed his declaration for the Republican nomination for councilman from the Seventh ward. Russell's friends claim that he is the candidate of the Jim Agnew ring and that Frank and Johnny Clancy are supporting him to the limit. While Russell will prove a very strong candidate in the Republican primaries, it is believed that he will be a weak candidate at the regular election, and that if he is the nominee Billy Moore is as sure elected as election day comes round. * * * Unless his opponents stop the Daily Times from ridiculing the John E. Humphries' candidacy for the Republican nomination for mayor of Seattle he will be the nominee in spite of hell and high water. If you have given politics any consideration at all you will agree with The Seattle Republican that, the voters have never entertained the same views of candidates for offices that the Times has. In other words the voters have always elected those candidates that the Times opposed and they will do so again and the other Republican aspirants had better stop the Times from cartooning Humphries or he will be nominated hands down. William Pitt Trimble is giving the other candidates for office more real worry than any of their many other opponents. It is the concensus of opinion that, if Trimble should be nominated and elected he would make the city an ideal mayor for the next two years just such a mayor as Seattle will be sadly in need of. His friends reason that, he is a man of conservative views, a man of education and culture and just such a man as could entertain the thousands of visitors that will be in Seattle for the next two years. * * * It begins to look as if 3,000 votes in Republican circles will nominate and if that be true Trimble, Russell and Humphries will run neck and neck. It is claimed by friends of Russell that Jim Agnew will be able to hand him over anywhere from 1,500 to 2,500 votes at the opening of the polls and that it will be an easy matter for him to pick up the other 500 votes from the Young Men's Republican Club and perhaps half as many more from other sources. * * * Those persons who had formed the opinion that the City Party would cast only a nomi- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN nal vote for Mayor Moore and then throw the bulk of its votes to Lewis Levy, do not now consider themselves very good prophets for Mayor Moore will have to battle for his own existence as Mathew Dow has filed his declaration for the City Party's nomination for mayor. Mathew Dow is a very strong man and will give Mayor Moore a hard tussel, and should he be nominated and the Republicans nominate an objectionaable man Mathew Dow would get even more Republican votes than Mayor Moore himself under similar circumstances. The fellow who thought the coming battle would not be the worst political mix-up that Seattle has ever seen was mistaken from top to bottom. John F. Miller, chief deputy prosecuting John F. Miller, chief deputy prosecuting attorney of King county, has filed his declaration to be a candidate for the Republican mayoralty nomination. * * * The Union Digresses. Whenever a lawyer has a weak case it is an old tradition that he immediately begins to abuse the opposing counsel. The Morning Union, Senator Ankeny's newspaper which each day editorially and in its news columns informs the public what a great man he is and how he has this community cinched for himself, follows the policy of the lawyer with a weak case at court, and abuses the people who are opposed to Senator Ankeny. Instead of producing evidence that the telegram from Senator Ankeny stating that on "his" recommendation the war department ordered the survey of the Columbia River from Bridgeport to Kettle Falls and thus contradict the statement in the letter sent out from the war department to Congressman Jones in which the assertion was made that the survey had been ordered on "Jones'" recommendation, the Union proceeds to discuss and speculate as to who had the temerity to discuss this subject in a communication to the Bulletin. The Union digresses again to say that Jones' support comes from newspapers that are either subsidized or expert to secure federal patronage in the event of his election to succeed Senator Ankeny. The Bulletin is not interested in this phase of the senatorial question whatever. It has none of Jones' money and never expects to get any and its editor is not an aspirant for any federal position within the gift of a senator from this state, but we want to venture the assertion right here that there is not a single newspaper in Walla Walla County supporting Senator Ankeny that is not either owned direct or paid to support him in cash or by business support. No even the editorial writer of the Union, who so glibly sounds his praises, would be doing so if he were not on the Senator's payroll. If Ankeny thinks this sort of a condition in his home county is a matter of pride and congratulation, he is welcome to all the consolation he can extract from it. The editor of the Union took great pride in attacking the Senator in former days in a manner that the Bulletin has never attempted to equal and it is most likely would still be engaged in that pleasant pastime had he not been wrenched from his moorings by the persuasive offer of a more lucrative job on the Senator's newspaper. Other newspaper support of the Senator in this county openly FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1908. boasts of mercenary influence and will unquestionably desert his colors the moment he fails to produce the coin. We feel safe in challenging the Union to name a single newspaper in the state that is supporting Senator Ankeny that has not been bought or bribed into doing so. This is no serious reflection on the press of the state or proof of its venality, either, for there are so few of them that are espousing the candidacy of the Senator that they hardly count.—Walla Walla Bulletin. The Attorney general's office has recently rendered an opinion to the effect that because a man did not register he was not eligible to hold an elective office. This same question came up when W. B. Stratton was attorney general, but he held to the contrary, but added that a man who did not take enough interest in the government of his city or state to register, was not fit to hold office.—Ex. Spokane is making an effort to secure the next democratic state convention. There is no reason why the convention should not be held there and several reasons why it should be. It has been several years since the party has held a convention in eastern Washington, although the bulk of the democratic voting and fighting strength is found east of the Cascade mountains. Spokane is an ideal convention city, with splendid hotel accommodations and a number of excellent halls. There would be a far larger and more enthusiastic gathering of spectators there than in any city on the west side, and delegates from the Sound might catch some of this enthusiasm. The Democrats of Whitman county will heartily second the motion to hold the convention at Spokane.—Colfax Commoner. The Spokane Chronicle's discovery that George Turner may be a candidate for United States Senator in the event of the improbable contingency of the next legislature in this state being Democratic, hardly deserves to be listed as a real fresh news story. As a matter of fact, Mr. Turner would in all probability have no opposition if the legislature were Democratic. In fact, he comes about as near being the whole show with the Democratic party in the State of Washington as it is possible for one man in a commonwealth to be the whole show. Occasionally there is a recalcitrant who has the temerity to dispute this fact, but his efforts to prove it only tend to establish the fact more firmly. Yes, we believe there is little doubt that George Turner will be the next United States Senator from Washington—if the legislature is Democratic.—Ex. BORROWED THOUGHTS. The Hon. Samuel Gompers announces officially that he has suspended the law of supply and demand.—New York Sun. As a result of Blue Sunday in Gotham a great many husbands have become very well acquainted with their wives and children.— Puek.
