Saw it in the Times. It is quite true that charity begins at home and with the most of us it ends right where it begins. Prosperity may be returning, but he is doing it so stealthily that but few if any of us have gotten sight of it. Whiskey advocates had just as well give up the ghost in Kansas as they have been beaten on every point at issue. If the Democrats nominate P. S. Byrne for governor the Republicans will have another political victim to Byrne. If politics in Seattle is not in a Trimble then we mistake the seeming misgivings of the various nominating candidates. Ruef and Thaw on opposite sides of the continent still furnish food for thought throughout Chrisendom. Ain't it so? Spokane went dry last Sunday and even the police say it was truly a day of rest. Wonder what Jemmy Weir thinks of that? Does one Alexander, who is promiscuously breaking into print in Seattle publications, contemplate starting a Coxey army? Seattle's policemen are ordered to keep out of local politics by Chief Wappenstein. Does that mean Doc Titus is to be jugged no more? As to holiday editions if the number recently issued by the Forum of Tacoma does not entitle it to first place then we confess to poor judgment. Editor Jack Brainard is not saying much editorially about Miller since his first outbreak when his hand was called, but locally he is doing his worst. Seattle's German Republican's came very nearly resolving themselves into democrats one day this week owing to a difference of opinion among the leaders. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICA Col. Will Visscher still gets full as of yore, judging from the shooting scrap in in which he was the chief actor that took place in Omaha last Saturday night. Stuperous melancholia is the new charge on which Harry Thaw is to be tried. Instead of being a criminal insane that probably means that he is a damphool insane. If "Tex" Alexander is not careful in his efforts to find employment for the unemployed he will find a place of rest for himself where padded walls are sometimes necessary. Onions are going up and eggs are coming down in Bellingham. Is there any politics in this? asks the Sumas News. We hardly see how there can be and yet it smells like it. Jimmy Weir is of the opinion that even a whiskey man has rights in the commercial world and we agree with him only we have been as yet wholly unable to figure out those rights. King Alphonso speaks of visiting the United States to see how it is done. Poor little insignificant royal sycophant he will perhaps wish he had not before he returns to his bowing apes. Prosecuting socialists both in Europe and in the United States is making more converts to the propaganda than all the preaching and teaching the Socialist leaders seem able to do. When Eugene Schmitz regains his liberty with the hearty and full co-operation of organized labor, he will probably make Heney hard to catch in his efforts to be elected to the United States senate. When those Eastern men left $500,000 with James A. Moore for the Irondale plant, which fifteen months ago cost him but $40,000, so far as Mr. Moore is concerned Irondale suddenly became Goldendale. The man who neglects to vote may be an infamous traitor as thinks Dr. Matthews, but it sometimes happens that, the man who votes is even more an infamous traitor because he votes for $2 instead of patriotism. "Hard Times Over" says a head line which is doubtless true with those unfortunates, who have already succumbed, but death has not as yet come to the relief of a great many and with them the hard times are not quite over. Justice Harlan's prediction of war between Japan and the United States can hardly be considered in the light of a prediction. Of course Japan will fight if Uncle Sam does not quit meddling with IN PUBLISHES LEGAL NOTICES AT REASON PRICE TEN CENTS her affairs and who would blame her. George Dixon's casket was smothered with expensive cut flowers, the price of which would have prolonged his life perhaps quite a few years. Oscar P. Oliver's mayoralty campaign platform may be rather brief, but there is no denying the fact that, it is to the point. He wants but one class, the people, and the laws enforced. What more is needed for good government. Sixty-two years of wedded life is a long voyage together, but long or short Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Prasch of Seattle have just passed such a milestone and are still "one in heart and soul." May the good God continue to be with you. A plumber is missing from Cheeney. May perhaps he presented his bill to some landlord who killed him rather than pay the bill or who paid him and then killed him to get his wad. In either case the temptation was sufficient to warrant the work. The Seattle Republican is prepared to say at this time that the fight for the Republican nomination for mayor is between William Pitt Trimble and John E. Humphries and its up to the business men of Seattle as to which one they will have nominated. That William Howard Taft has the better of the Ohio presidential fight we verily believe, but that Joseph Benson Foraker will make it so hot for him that he will hardly be able to enjoy his victory we likewise verily believe. State's rights got another set back in Congress this week when all of the Southern representatives made a daring attempt to curb the powers of the Federal judges in the states from whence they hailed. When, oh when will those damphoals realize that they are damphoals? Harry K. Thaw's second trial is now under full headway with the defense taking the prosecution's breath at every blow and with Jerome making no greater resistance than to object more apparently for delay and confusion than for any real merit in his objections. The world generally believes that Thaw was crazy at the time he killed White and Jerome perhaps thinks no different than everybody else only he wants to make a great gallery play. Secretary W. A. Taft still scouts the idea of immediate war between Japan and the United States or at any time within the present foresight of any one, which seems perfectly correct. What excuse has Japan for attacking the United States or NABLE RATES. MAIN 305. 2 vice versa? It is hardly probable that Japan in her crippled condition will start out on a war of conquest and that too when she would have to transport all of her war thunder to the seat of war. Japan may be crazy, but she ain't no fool. Even if she were amply strong to undertake the work she should expect to meet the combined opposition of Europe, for if she could take the United States it would only be a matter of but a very short time before the European governments would also fall before her all-conquering army. THE REVIEW The recently issued Year Book of the Methodist Episcopal Church, prepared by S. V. R. Ford, presents the standing of the denomination by interesting tables and statistical facts, which show the progress during the past year. The number of probationers reported is 346,155; full members, 2,957,066; total, 3,303,221-an increase of 68,697 over the previous year. For the last three years the percentage of gain exceeded two per cent annually. The total gain over 1900 is 374,338 members. In the same time the number of churches has increased 2,229, bringing the total to 29, 523; last year 432 were built. The value of church and parsonage property is $186, 924,024-a gain of almost exactly $50,000, 000 in seven years. Against this there is an indebtedness of $12,527,248. The average value of the churches, now $5,423, has increased one-fourth since 1900. The average value of the Methodist parsonage today is $2,051, as compared with $1,608 in 1900. The debts on property are steadily declining, and now amount to 6.4 per cent. as against 8.7 in the year 1900. The average age of the thirteen effective bishops now sixty-one and seven-thirteenths years, and of the missionary bishops fifty-nine and one-seventh years. The six surviving non-effective bishops are of an average age of seventy-nine and one-sixth years, Bishop Bowman, the senior member of the board, having recently passed his ninetieth birthday. The ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the year of record received 799 accessions, 65 coming on credentials from other churches. The loss for the year aggregated 550, of whom 304 were by death and 255 by discontinuance, location, withdrawal or expulsion. Of the 65 ministers received from other communions, 11 came from the United Brethren, 7 from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 3 each from the Presbyterian, the United Evangelical, the Methodist Church of Canada and the Wesleyan Methodist Connexion; 5 each from the Baptist and the African Methodist Episcopal; 4 from the Cumberland Presbyterian; 2 each from the Congregational, Regular Baptist, Free Methodist, and Methodist Protestant, and 1 each from twelve other bodies. In a very thorough analysis of the changes in membership the editor tabulates the growth of the membership by Conferences for the years 1901 to 1906. The net increase in those six years was 305,641-a gain of 10,4 per cent; 1901 was the lowest THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN year, 1906 the highest. Of all the Conferences Northwest India shows the largest gain-16,441, with Southern California at the head of the domestic Conferences, with a gain of 11,131. The deaths throughout the connection in the same sexennium aggregated 237,835. The membership of the colored and white Conferences and missions in the South for ten years is separately tabulated in an exhibit which will repay careful study. It appears that the membership in the colored Conferences in 1906 was 290,772-a net gain of about 32, 411 in ten years. From the editor's analysis it would appear that the rate of increase in the colored Conferences fully keeps pace with that in the white Conferences. The membership of the Methodist Eprscopal Church Church in countries outside of the United States is now 290,888 an increase of almost exactly 100,000 in seven years. The gain in some sections of India, in Korea, and in the Phillipine Islands, is especially note worthy.—Christian Advocate. * * * Some time ago the daily press of this city alleged that the reason for so many Negroes being in the Civil Service of the Federal Government in New Orleans was that the Negro schools here instructed pupils along special lines that prepared them for the Civil Service examinauions. As an individual would do, these Negroes when they are facing a Civil Service examination brush up and pay special attention to the subjects upon which they were to be examined. But now comes the announcement that a night school is to be operated in the Boys' High School of this city under city supervision, which shall devote its entire strength to the preparation of young white men for the Civil Service examination. An this movement meets the approval of the Civil Service Commissioner, Mr. McIlhenny, and to add novelty to the enterprise Mr. McIlhenny was asked to suggest the best course of study to be pursued. This is just what the press objected to as far as the Negro was concerned, and now the young white men are to have special preparation.—Southwestern Christian Advocate. *** The New Year is starting out well with revolting accidents and the holocast at Boyertown, Pa., in which 180 persons lost their lives, is a striking example of it. While a number of persons were enjoying a moving picture show at a theater the oil tank used in connection exploded and almost instantly the building was in flames with the fatal results mentioned above. Despite the most careful precaution tragedies of a similar nature periodically happen, but it does seem that such accidents as the above might be avoided. *** LYNCHING FOR 1907. The lynching record for 1907 will show a decided improvement over that of 1906, the total for the current year to date being forty-two-three Negro women, four white men and thirty-five Negro men. The record includes only cases of unmistakable lynching, leaving out those in which the victims were killed by pursuing posses while resisting capture. The record for last year was seventy-two, being thirty more than that of 1907.

BENCH AND BAR At the meeting of the Pierce County Bar Association, called to do honor to the memory of the late Louis D. Campbell, the following resolutions were adopted unanimously: Whereas, in the dispensation of an all wise Providence, death has removed from among us our beloved brother, Louis D. Campbell, and it is the wish of the bar of Pierce county to make and preserve some enduring expression of its admiration and regard for him and thus pay a united and sincere tribute to the memory of so good and so true a man; therefore, be it Resolved, That the bar of Pierce county deeply mourns his death and feels that not only has the state lost by that sad calamity a valuable citizen, but that by it also the bar of the county, as well as the state, has been deprived of one of is most honored and learned members. That in the respect and confidence of the bench and the bar his place was at the summit. That the record of his life as a lawyer discloses brilliant legal ability successfully employed in the cause of those who, whether near at hand or far distant, ever reposed in him a trust and confidence remarkable in their unquestioning reliance. He attained a glorious manhood, and it found expression in a courageous discharge of the obligations of the citizen and magistrate and in an unflinching dedication of himself to the dutions of the hour. In his unselfish devotion to them and in his brave and uncompromising hostility to the evil and the bad, he trod the mountain ranges. 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. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Political Pot-Pie The Republicans of Spokane County are greatly interested at the present time over the selection of a candidate for Governor. It seems to be generally conceded that both Republican and Democratic campaigns are to be framed along practical business lines. The prosperity of Spokane and the entire state of Washington is directly dependent upon the maintenance of harmonious relations between the larger and individual business interests. It is expected, therefore that every man named for an office wherein his discretionary power might handicap the onward march of prosperity if used injudiciously, will be very carefully scrutinized before much force will be given to his candidacy. Spokane has a Republican in the governorship class whose friends are urging consideration of his name on the Republican ticket for that office, and his standing with the business interests of the state is being investigated at the present time. If found agreeable an announcement of his candidacy may be expected in the very near future. County politics is slowly acquiring a momentum which promises to make a very interesting campaign at the finish. There is a decided disposition on the part of those whose friends are urging consideration of their names to avoid getting actively into the fray at the present time. An extended campaign is very wearing and the politician is naturally averse to having his plans made public. One of the decided exceptions to the rule, however, is that of ex-commissioner W. M. Dean, who is a candidate for the office of commissioner. He frankly says that he is a candidate and wants his friends to know it, and if they prefer to throw their support to some other candidate later in the campaign they will at least have had the opportunity of finding just where he stands upon all questions touching the welfare of Spokane county tax payers. It seems probable that there will be no opposition in the Republican camp to the renomination of Auditor Greene. This is probably the only office at the court house for which there will be no strife.—Outburst. "Walla Walla Back of Ankeny," says a Times head line. Yes, so far back of him that it would require a telescope to get sight of her from Ankeny's camp. SCIENTIFIC SOUNDINGS The new coin counter not only registers the coins put in it, but redelivers them in regulation bank packages, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars and all in one fifth the time it would take to do the work by hand. It also sorts the Canadian coins and mutiliated coins of our own money from the good ones. Denatured alcohol, which, it is hoped, will even revolutionize electricity, to the amount of 1,740,272 gallons was produced in the United States during the first six months of 1907. The first 20 miles of the White Pass and Yukon Railroad out of Skagway cost $2,- 000,000 and the average cost of the road from Skagway to Summit was something over $100,000 per mile. It is perhaps one of the cleverest pieces of engineering works in the world and was completed by E. C. Hawkins of Seattle. It is said that the sun is an enormous roaring furnace hotter than any heat or electric furnace that we can construct, with a temperature greater than we can make artificially. The flames from this solar furnace do not leap to very great altitudes for the most part, but November 13, 1907 a flame shot out from the sun and rose to the terrific height of 352,000 feet. In referring to the speed of vessels, we speak of the number of knots traveled. A knot is a measure of speed, not of distance, and the term comes from the old method of finding the speed of a vessel by means of a three-cornered piece of wood with a weight attached to one side to hold it upright in the water. To each corner was fastened a cord and to the junction of these cords was attached the log line. This log and line with a small sand glass completed the apparatus for reckoning a vessel's speed. The log, when dropped into the water, remained where it fell. The log line was divided off by knots, the distance between the knots being the same fractional part of a nautical mile as the time measured by the sand glass was of an hour. Therefore the number of knots which ran out in the time measured by the sand glass represented the number of nautical miles an hour that the vessel was running. For example, if six knots ran out during the time, the vessel's speed was said to be six knots. As the result of a landslide in Russian Turkestan, the town of Karatagh has been wiped out. Out of a population of 3,500 people, less than 100 escaped. The disaster was due to an enormous section of the Karatagh Mountain, which overhung the place, breaking loose and thundering down, almost completely burying the town. A Japanese agricultural experimentist believes he has discovered a method of making pulp out of bamboo grass, which is very common there and heretofore of little or no service. If it proves correct it will be a great boon for the Japanese farmers. According to the latest estimate, the loss of life due to the earthquake which recently destroyed the city of Karatagh in Bokhara and the surrounding country, is approximately 10,000 persons. Brushes made of glass, which are to replace emery cloth for cleaning and polishing commutators of dynamos and motors, have been placed on the market. [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. 4 POLITICAL POT-PIE As the time for the holding of the municipal primaries draws nearer the outcome of the mayoralty contest among Republicans grows more complicated every day. Who will be mayor? is verily on the lips of every one you meet and the question is not asked because the questioner believes it can be answered, but more to emphasize the fact that, there is no telling who is the favorable candidate, it being taken for granted the Republican nominee will be elected. The contest has sufficiently developed however to demonstrate the fact that of the eight mayoralty aspirants four of them will be in the fight for blood, respectively, John F. Miller, George F. Russell, William Pitt Trimble and John E. Humphries. One of the other of those men will be nominated and the nominee will not get to exceed 500 votes the lead of the other fellow, if really that many, thus proving the contest one of the closest races ever made in the political circles of King county. That Russell and Miller are both strong candidates no one can or will deny and if either one of them should withdraw from the contest it would mean the nomination of the other beyond the peradventure of a doubt. The one draws directly from the other and so heavily that the Piemaker feels almost absolutely certain at this writing that neither of them will be nominated. While the gambling element of the city with Johnny Clancy and Jim Agnew as its political head is a unit for Russell and will go their limit for his nomination and election, yet if Russell were not running Mller would get that vote just as solidly as will Russell. In fact it is the concensus of opinion among the voters on the hill and especially the church voter that the bringing out of Russell and Miller was the work of the Clancy gang and those In opening his campaign at Egan's Hall for the Republican nomination for mayor of Seattle William Pitt Trimble said part as follows: "After giving the matter my most careful consideration, I told those men that I would not only allow the use of my name for the position of mayor, but that I would enter into the race heartily, fearlessly and determinedly, to do everything that an honorable man could do to secure the nomination on the Republican ticket for mayor of the city; and I am here before this audience at this time as an aspirant, asking for their support at the Republican primaries to be held on the 3rd of February next. "I want to say to every voter in this hall that if nominated and elected mayor of the city of Seattle, I will give the city as clean, as honest and as businesslike an administration as the city of Seattle has ever had or ever can have. I shall stand for a THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN who profit by their nefarious practices thus playing both ends against the middle, catching them going and coming. Johnny Clancy, who represents the great under world of the Northwest, and his legal sattelites are determined that Seattle is to be a wide open town during the A. Y. P. exposition in order that every person who visits the fair may be relieved of every cent he or she may have either by gambling thieves or highway robbers, hence their heruclean efforts to nominate and elect for mayor of Seattle either George F. Russell or John F. Miller. With neither Miller nor Russell showing any disposition of retiring from the contest it is quite evident that neither can be nominated. With Russell nominated and elected Clancy will be cock of the walk, but with Miller nominated and elected another or others over whom Clancy would have no control would be the cocks of the walk, hence Clancy's persistent fight of keeping Russell in the race and his refusal to be reconciled to Miller. So far as Clancy would be personally concerned Miller would be no better for him than Trimble or Mayor Moore despite the fact he believes Miller would to an extent tolerate a more or less liberal policy for saloons and gambling dives. * * * With such a state of affairs the Republicans of the city who are really desirous of having a Republican mayor must make a selection between William Pitt Trimble and John E. Humphries. Which of these two candidates comes nearer representing their ideas will be for them to say and to vote accordingly. John E. Humphries is no longer a joke and if those, opposing him hope to beat him they will have to cease halting between Trimble and Miller or Russell, but throw their entire strength to [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. WILLIAM PITT TRIMBLE. Mr. Trimble. Humphries will get an enormous vote and with the cleverest kind of work on the part of his opponent he will not fall very short of a sufficient vote to nominate him. If Mr. Trimble therefore is the business men's candidate it behooves them to get awfully busy or they may think they are compelled to bolt the Republican nominee for mayor after the primaries are all over.

If Mr. Trimble therefore is the business men's candidate it behooves them to get awfully busy or they may think they are compelled to bolt the Republican nominee for mayor after the primaries are all over. * * * One of the prettiest fights in the present contest is that going on between Scott Calhoun and E. Heister Guie for corporation counsel, but despite the fact Calhoun is backed by the "big bunch" and the prosecuting attorney's office Guie is making heavy inroads on him and the odds as we go to press are very much favorable to Guie getting the decision. As was said last week the best workers outside of the open policy men are working like dick nailors for Guie and they believe they already see victory for him. Be it said to the credit of Mr. Guie that, if he should be nominated and elected corporation counsel of Seattle he would give her one of the very best administrations of that office that she has ever had. There perhaps is not a more able or successful civil lawyer in the Northwest than he and the city of Seattle would do herself proud to so honor him. Give us Guie lest we guy you.

I shall devote to the interests of the city my entire time, and give it my undivided attention, and I ask for the hearty support and earnest co-operation of every law-abiding citizen and individual tax-payer particularly. "My administration shall be for the tax-payer—that is the one important point around which the other issues center." The hall was full and overflowing with many of Seattle's most substantial business men, who are enthusiastic for the nomination of Mr. Trimble. Among others who spoke at the meeting were Hon. Frederick Bausman, Hon. J. M. Frink, Hon. George H. Walker and others, all of whom made splendid speeches for their candidate. The managers and workers for Mr. Trimble feel much encouraged at the outlookfor his success at the polls February 3rd and are already claiming his nomination. 1.
