With coal at $11 per ton in Seattle and that too in the center of a great coal field, it would seem that either a trust or a traitor is in control of the situation. There is hardly any doubt but that the next mayor of Seattle will appoint Reginald H. Thomson to succeed himself whether he be Miller, Moore, Trimble or Russell. Thomas J. Lawson thinks "the Ameri can people a joke-a system joke," which is more or less true and there seems to be no doubt of the fact that Lawson is the genuine joker of the bunch. Jerome fearing the press made an effort to have the Thaw case tried behind closed doors, but failed in the attempt. Evidently the publicity that he has courted from time to time is not acting well on his presidential aspiration plant. Will Matthew Dow do the general public a favor by stating who induced him to declare his intentions to be a candidate for the nomination of mayor on the city party ticket? In other words whose cnestnuts were you to pull out of the fire. Had each of the individuals found in that unemployed army last Monday afternoon put forth as much energy trying to find a small job as he did to march all over the city he perhaps would not have gone to sleep hungry that night. A great many of Seattle's attorneys are sending their legal publications out of the city and that too when the papers published in the city need the work even more than the outside papers. That's a mighty poor way to keep the Seattle spirit alive. THE SEATTLE REPUBLI SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JANUARY, 24, 1908 "Armies of unemployed are gathering in Eastern cities," says Samuel Hill. Here of late the West has been taking the lead of the East on all public moves and she has her bested in this as Seattle already has an army of unemployed, which is on the move and may start to Washington city any old day. Recently some Afro-American women discussed "Is the Negro's Handicap an Excuse or a Spur?" While in many instances we regret to say, it is an excuse yet for the most part it has been a spur, as may be seen by visiting the homes of many of them even in Seattle, which have been acquired by the money they earned by doing odd jobs. Dr. Matthews asked the various candidates for Mayor some pointed questions and as a citizen of this community he had a perfect right to do so, on the other hand they had the same right to either answer them or treat them with silent contempt, but in no event was it necessary for any of them to send "pert" replies to Rev. Matthews. If Waburton and Easterday had have had those checks certified to by the banks on which they were drawn and then filed away, the winner would have stood some show of getting his money, but before the election is pulled off it is very doubtful if either of them will be worth a hundred dollars apiece much less a thousand and then again how easy for them to stop the payment on the checks on the grounds that it was a gambling debt. HARD ON THE FISH. "Doin' any good?" asked the curious individual on the bridge. "Any good?" answered the fisherman in the creek below. "Why I caught 40 bass out o' here yesterday." "Say do you know who I am?" asked the man on the bridge. The fisherman replied that he did not. "Well. I am the county fish and game warden." The angler after a moment's thought, exclaimed, "Say do you know who I am?" "No." the officer replied. "Well, I'm the biggest liar in eastern Indiana," said the crafty angler with a grin.—Recreation. 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. AN PUBLISHES LEGAL NOTICES AT REA PRICE TEN CENTS THE PASSING THRONG SENATOR JOHN L. WILSON SICK. The many friends and admirers of Senator Wilson were pained beyond expression to learn that his sickness was of such a nature that it was necessary for him to have to be taken East to be operated upon, he leaving last Monday evening. While the operation, like all operations is more or less serious and tended with grave dangers, nevertheless there is no cause for alarm as the surgeon at the hospital to which he has been taken in Baltimore has operated upon hundreds and hundreds of similar cases and perhaps only in the rarest instances does he lose a patient, but the senator's friends regret that he has to go through the pain of an operation and their sympathies and well wishes follow him to the operating table and trust that he will soon be fully recovered and at home as of yore. He was accompanied East by A. P. Sawyer, who for a number of years has been his private secretary, financier and confidential adviser. *** SEATTLE EMPLOYING UNEMPLOYED. In employing the unemployed Seattle is showing the true Seattle spirit as well as the spirit of brotherly love and it is hoped that as many of the unemployed, especially those who have families, will be given employment as the city can consistently care for, but for an army of unemployed men, who have and are flocking to Seattle from Alaska and the various logging and mining camps of the Northwest to demand that Seattle furnish employment for them, and, if not employment, food and shelter, is to say the least absurd and ridiculous. No one forced those men to come to Seattle and if they had stayed where they were, especially those in the state of Washington, they would have been a hundred times better off than spending their last dollar to get to Seattle where they, for the most part, can hang about low saloons, guzzle beer and agitate. When there is work begging for takers you can always find an army of unemployed hanging about the employment offices pretending to be looking for work and they stay there day in and day out looking for a snap to come in instead of going to work and earning a decent living. When men lose their jobs on account of financial disturbances in the country and are unable to get other employment such men are deserving of help at the hands of any municipality, county or state, but when men spend their earnings as soon as they get paid off in vile saloons no great amount of pity should be poured out upon them. 2 STRIKE FOR SOAP. The unfortunates who at present make up the chain gang in Seattle struck one day this week and for one whole day refused to go out to work. The men complained of not having soap to wash themselves with, that the soup given them to eat was burnt and the bread stale. So strange was it to Chief Wappenstein to hear members of the chain gang asking for soap that he orderod two boxes sent in at once and also said that he would see to it that the soup sent to the prisoners would not be burned and that the bread would not be stale. One is at a loss to know why the ones having the contract to feed these prisoners would even desire to force them to eat such unwholesome food though the most of them are genuine hoboes. A man who would send such chuck to a lot of prisoners ought himself be arrested and tried for cruelty to human beings and he or she lose the contract then and there for feeding the city's unfortunates. * * * KING COUNTY PAYS CASH. The putting on a cash basis the transactions of King county will doubtless have the effect of giving some of the clerks employed at the court house more time to do their duty. It has from time to time been alleged that some of the clerks at the court house spent more time scalping county warrants than they did working for the county for which they drew a salary of some $90 per month. Country folk were practicalld robbed of whatever fees they had coming from the county and even city folk, who had small fees coming, often took whatever they were offered by the clerks, who bought warrants, rather then hold the warrant a few weeks and have to make another trip to the court house. PECULIAR AND PERTINENT. The doll is the oldest toy. Glass made into microscopic objectives is more costly than gold. The earth compares with the sun as a pint compares with 3,500 barrels. The United States has still 400,000,000 acres of forest, Australia 60,000,000, India, 45,000,000. The use of wind motors as generators of electric power is greatly on the increase in Denmark. Streamers of flame 80,000 miles long continually shoot up from the sun, and a solar wind blows at the rate of 360,000 miles an hour. Hemp is a Phillipine natural monopoly. It can not be grown profitably in any other part of the world. The United States is the largest consumer. When the telephone wires are overland the speed of transmission is at the rate of 16,000 miles a second. Where the wires are through cables under the sea the speed is only 6,020 miles a second. ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The attainment of self-support in the League is an exceedingly creditable achievement. Of all funds, an administrative fund is one of the very hardest to raise. 1t affords little to arouse the enthusiasm or P. to touch the sympathies. To pay voluntarily the prosaic bills of the ordinary routine of necessary but unromantic work, when there is but a collective instead of a direct personal responsibility, calls for self-reliance and moral responsibility of a high order. In financial ability, the adult members of our church incomparably surpass our Epworthians. Yet among them the history of our General Conference expenses, the Episcopal fund, and the Presiding Elder's Claim, abounds in instructive illustrative material, showing the difficulty in securing administrative funds. Then it should be remembered that our young people are but little experienced in financial responsibility, and that for many years there was so little appeal to them to meet their administrative expenses. In the face of these considerations, the League has done wonderfully well in response to the recent appeal for self-support. In the three years it has practically attained financial independence. The first year it contributed $3802.49, about three times more than it had ever given for this pnrpose in any one year before. The next year it gave $8,989.91, an advance surprising to its most sanguine friends, and beyond what most believed possible. The past year it made a gain of over two thousand dollars. The final reports will show a total of receipts from local Chapters slightly in excess of eleven thousand dollars. The entire revenue of the League for the year cannot yet be stated, as the profits accruing on certain publications must first be determined. We will probably fall short of meeting our entire expenses, but there should be but a small deficiency. We might have attained self-support this year beyond doubt. Toward the close our receipts fell off relatively, being less than for the same period last year, and a part of our previous gain was lost when it should FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1908 have been increased. Obviously, when some of our Chapters learned that success was within sight, they inferred that their help was not needed and neglected to contribute. However, there is profound satisfaction in the result. We have practically gained our goal. That any small margin remaining can be covered and that the League will fully meet its bills another year, no one can raise a single doubt. To come fully up to self-support within four years is a victory beyond what our friends thought possible, and is an evidence of the virility and life within the League of which we may well be proud. In justice to the Chapters that have remitted, those that are in arrears should still pay up. If received now, it will be credited upon the new year, and go to assure the complete triumph which the League must now achieve. Let every Chapter that, through oversight, negligence, or otherwise, is in arrears for the past year, deal squarely with its sister chapters and meet its share of the general obligations by sending its dues immediately.

Rockefeller has given $23,000,- 000 to the University of Chicago. His recent New Year's gift was $2,191,000. The National Congress of Mothers will hold its first International meeting at Washington, D. C., March 10-17, 1908. According to a Chicago librarian a wealthy lady of seventy-three years has read "over 15,000 volumes, 300 volumes a year, since 1854." According to Dunn's Agency there were 11,725 commercial failures during the year 1907, representing $197,385,225 indebtedness defaulted. Cider is one of the most popular drinks in Paris. The entire annual consumption for France is about.2,680,000,000 gallons, two-thirds of which is produced in the five departments of Normandy. There are stars many, many times bigger than the sun. The telescope reveals in space 50,000,000 of such vast stars. There must be many billions more in those remote black interstellar spaces that no telescope is powerful enough to pierce. A diver is working indefatigably in from 16 to 24 feet of water, putting in a new underpinning for Winchester cathedral, in England, and it has been suggested that when he completes his work, room should be found somewhere for a statue of him minus his helmet, he being one of the cathedral's greatest benefactors. FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1908 (From Central Law Journal.) When are our states going to wake up to the fact that due process of law is government itself and that there is nothing so certain to create discontent in the states than the mal-administration of the law—"the law's delays." We have called attention heretofore to the fact that nine months' delay in the trial of civil appeal cases in England was regarded as a "scandalous delay." In some of our states, the courts are from two to three years behind, as well as the United States Supreme Court. In many cases this condition is a practical denial of justice. That it should take two years to reach a case after it has been appealed to any court; is a gross outrage. In many instances, poor opinions are rendered because the courts are rushed with work. Every effort on the part of our bar associations should be exercised to secure the best material available for the bench, both NISI PRIUS and in our courts of appeal. Enough judges should be added so that it will be considered a scandalous delay if a case is not disposed of in nine months after being appealed. It is a wonder that the people have been so patient. We get into ruts and before we can get out of them general history proclaims that we must hear. "It is, it is the cannon's opening roar! These delays are caused both on account of the accumulation of business and mediocre ability. Our judges are growing to be automatons. They want cases on all fours and a "mule case" at that. If they meet a principle in the road and it makes an effort to assert itself, they regard it as an assumption, and some of these judges have been heard to exclaim: "I never heard of you before and I trust it will not be my misfortune to meet you again," and with self-satisfied complacency move on a way lighted up with cases on all fours decided wrong on principle. "If the light," in our bench and bar "be darkness, how great is that darkness?" The spirit which giveth light is entirely wanting in many decisions and there seems to be a disposition to so assert the letter as to "kill," for the sake of killing. The matter of construction, which lies above everything in a judge, seems to have, as a rule, become a lost art, but how can we expect anything else from a bench and bar fed on canned law. Such kind of food is almost enough to induce the elements of the buffoon, which appear in some of our decisions. So with buffoonery, spirit killing construction and no construction but canned law construction, we find the bar growing restive and the general public breaking out under the strain. Justice becomes a by-word and anarchy finds a field to gloat in. Somebody has said a "state's supreme court will reflect the ability of its bar." When Erskine was England's great advocate, Mansfield was a great judge and Mansfield cleared away the debris which had been clogging the way to justice, by a vigorous use of the maxims wove into magnificent construction; nor was England with- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN out other great judges at the time. America had her Marshall and her Webster as well as her Story, her Kent, her Shaw and her David Dudley Field. All these were deeply versed in principles and shone forth magnificently in construction. True we have called attention several times, in this Journal, to the conditions, and yet we see our legislatures meeting and neglecting to form any definite plan for their reformation, conditions which have become a menace to our best interests in the government of our states and which are in fact also a menace to the general government. We now most earnestly call attention to our readers of the necessity of action. These matters are such that they must not be put off. It seems strange that our bar associations do not appreciate the fearful menace to our most sacred institution. Nothing is so important as confidence in a nation's judiciary and nothing more serious than a loss of confidence in it. We are beginning to hear constant complaint. And why not, when it takes more than three years before a case from inception to the courts of appeal may be heard. It would seem as though there were some interests of some kind which were at work to prevent the necessary legislation to bring in such plainly needed reforms. The peril of such conditions should be proclaimed again and again till we see that action is being taken and something actually done to remedy the evils which have been gathering in our systems of due process of law. In the case of Lange v. Reservation Mining Co., the Supreme Court recently decided that the board of trustees with consent of the majority stockholders could sell all of the property of the corporation against the protest of the minority if it does not disrupt the corporation and is not contrary to the purposes for which it was formed. It must be in good faith. Judge Fullerton wrote the decision. In State ex rel. Tatum v. Fitzhenry it was recently decided by the Supreme Court that a judgment against a garnishee defendant could not be held where the plaintiff failed to recover a judgment against the principal defendant. The opinion is by Judge Rudkin. In Akin v. Bradley Co. the Supreme Court held a company liable for damages where it threw out a lot of dynamite caps where school boys passing by could get them and where a boy took one and exploded it with an electric battery, injuring his hand badly. Judge Root wrote the opinion. The Supreme Court in Redfield v. School District held that the district was liable for damages where a child was scalded by hot water left on a register in the school room by the teacher. or janitor. The decision is written by Judge Dunbar. 3 During the past few weeks the Register has received considerable literature from the Ankeny press bureau at Seattle. We An ny have read the articles carefully on while we must confess that our knowledge of the political Gridiron history of this state is necessarily limited, we are still unconvinced as to the Senator's qualifications for the high office which he now holds, and to which he is seeking renomination at the hands of the Republican party of this state. It was our privilege during the years 1904 and 1905 to be in Washington during sessions of congress, and we remember that Senator Ankeny was pointed out to us by one of the local correspondents as "the senator from Washington, who, by virtue of his election, was entitled to a seat, also a voice in the proceedings of the senate, but who never took advantage of the latter prerogative. Among close observers and among his colleagues he was regarded as a nonentity. To our knowledge, he did not participate in debate during both sessions of Congress, and if he exerted any great influence in the committee rooms, it was not so generally understood in Washington. On the other hand Congressman Jones frequently participated in debate, and was regarded as one of the prominent western members in the house of representatives. Senator Ankeny doubtless has the interest of the state at heart. He doubtless performs his duties to the best of his ability, but we need an aggressive representative in the upper house. A man who will not only be a credit to himself but to the great and growing state of Washington. Such a man in our opinion is Congressman Jones. —Wilbur Register. * * * If those advocating the nomination of John F. Miller are not the rehabilitation of the old Humes-Riplinger ring then to take a cursory glance at those hanging about the Miller headquarters would thoroughly convince you that they are. Everybody that is advocating the nomination of John F. Miller advocated the nomination of Thomas J. Humes and subsequently favored the nomination of John Riplinger, even to the Rev. Major, and even that member of the Post-Intelligencer Company that is advocating the nomination of Miller with such precies and dignified eloquence, the Hon. E. C. Hughes, was always a supporter of Thomas J. Humes, if not openly, on the quiet. No one has any remembrance of Mr. Hughes ever taking the stump against the election or nomination of Humes despite the fact he knew that as mayor of Seattle Mr. Humes was conducting it in a manner as to make it a robber's roost. John F. Miller was hand and glove with that administration as long as it lasted and it is strikingly strange that he should so suddenly become converted to the cause of good government, but with Miller it is anything to keep in some kind of an office, of which he has been the recipient ever since he has been a resident of Seattle. Is there no other man qualified 4 to hold office in Seattle but John F. Miller? Is Mr. Miller to be selected for every office of importance to be filled in King county? It is quite true that John F. Miller was not holding an office while he was in Alaska, and, it is likewise true that, he did not make any money while he was there. As soon however, as he returned to Seattle he dropped into another public office and has continuously fed at the public crib ever since. The question naturally presents itself like this: Is John F. Miller able to earn a living outside of some political position? If he is then his record does not show it. If John F. Miller is nominated by the Republicans the 3rd of February he will be an easy mark for William Hickman Moore, Democrat though he is. The ghost of the Humes administration will hang over him like a pall and the clean administration that Moore has given the city for the past two years will stand out in bold relief in comparison to that Miller and his partner Thomas J. Humes gave to the city, and may again give if elected. The Republicans therefore should look before they leap in making a nomination for mayor at the next primary election and nominate some man like William Pitt Trimble who is free from political entanglements and who will give the city an honest upright administration and protect the visitors who are expected here during the fair from being robbed by foot-pads who will flock here from every corner of the globe. *** It is a debatable question whether the withdrawal of Matthew Dow from the City Party ticket as a candidate for mayor will help Humphries or Levy. Some say it will help the former while Levy says it will help him. In all events it leaves Mayor William Hickman Moore without an opponent and his friends the opportunity to throw their votes to whatever Republican candidate they believe Moore can the more easily beat at the polls, which in all human probability will be Lewis Levy. Had Dow gotten the nomination he would have been as strong before the people as Mayor Moore himself. * * * The Miller men are making a world of noise evidently for the purpose of creating distrust in the minds of the Trimble men, but he is not gaining the substantial strength that Trimble is and there is no denying the fact that Russell's followers never lose an opportunity to put the blade under Miller's ribs. Miller is absolutely honest when he says, "I will put Clancy out of business if I am elected," and no one knows that better than Clancy himself and that is why Johnny Clancy is out for Russell. While Miller will put Clancy out of business, he will put others in business who are just as bad and even worse than Clancy if such a thing can be, if he ever gets an opportunity. *** There is no denying the fact that William Pitt Trimble is making a strong campaign and is giving much evidence of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a mustache.] F. M. JEFFERY. The man who seeks to swipe the Republican nomination for Councilman of the Third ward from H. C. Gill is F. M. Jeffery, who has not only lived in that ward for the past seven years, but has never lived in any other ward in the city. Be careful to not get F. M. Jeffery's name confounded with that of G. W. Jeffries of the Fifth ward as they are two entirely different persons. Mr. Jeffery is making a vigorous campaign and believes that he will beat his opponent at the primaries for the nomination by a most decisive vote. winning the race ere the close of the day. The Pie-maker is still strongly of the opinion that the fight lies directly between Trimble and Humphries with the odds slightly in Trimble's favor and growing better every day as he is making a most favorable impression wherever he goes to address an audience. Everybody admits, even the Miller-Russell men, that Trimble is the man for mayor the exposition year, but the politicians hate to surrender even when they know the good of the town depends on it. * * * Colonel W. F. Prosser, formerly a leading resident of this city, is now out after the Republican nomination for city treasurer of Seattle. If the Republican party of Seattle should be fortunate enough to secure an entire ticket built of similar material it would deserve to win the pending election. But there is apparently no reason to think so. -Yakima Democrat. SCOTT CALHOUN TO BLAME Fifteen hundred $2.00 a day men marched through our streets this week demanding employment. If Scott Calhoun, as corporation counsel, had have properly prepared the bonds voted by our tax payers for water works the city of Seattle could have furnished these men employment for value received and we wouldn't have had this spectacle and the city's disgrace advertised. ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, JANUARY 24. 1908 There isn't a regrade district, where assessments have been adjusted, in the last three years that the tax payers do not know that Scott Calhoun, as corporation counsel, has played favorites, discriminated against tax payers for his special friends or where his own private interests were best served. It is about time there was a change in the corporation counsel's office in Seattle. * * * Every citizen of Seattle who knows, or will investigate, can find out that Jule Redelsheimer's Federal Lodging House at the corner of Pine and 3rd Avenue was benefited by the Denny Hill regrade, and that Scott Calhoun stipulated Redelsheimer $26,000 and soaked the other fellows, except the lot in which ne himself was interested. * * * That Scott Calhoun had an eye single to business when he put Howard D. Hughes, son of E. C. Hughes one of the owners of the P.-I., in his office as one of his deputies although without any legal experience or fitness for such responsible work, is now plain to be seen for in the absence of Senator Wilson not one favorable mention is made of E. H. Guie's candidacy for corporation counsel all because Mr. Hughes is anxious for his boy to earn a big fat salary at the expense of the taxpayers while he is taking a practical law course. It's fine for father and son from a financial standpoint, but its hell on the taxpayers. ** It is quite certain that in our first experiment with the primary election law, not enough attention has been paid to the other offices. Unless the people of Seattle find some better means than they have up to the present time of making inquiry and getting acquainted with the candidates for all the offices there could be hoisted on to this city the most dangerons ring in her history, and discredited and unfit men get into office. During this entire month of campaign the public attention has been directed only to the mayoralty fight; other offices are very important to the tax-payers; one of the most important is that of corporation counsel; at present that office is filled by Scott Calhoun and he has as assistants a lot of young men, mostly boys just out of law school or just learning practice. The office has been conducted in such a manner as to be full of mistakes and errors if not worse. They didn't even know the last day in which candidates had to file their declarations under the law. They didn't know how to get an ordinance legal under our voting bond issue. They have shown favors to particular friends and clicks in every regrade district, and it is important to the tax-payer that this office should have in it new blood and a new head. This can only be gotten through this primary election and it can be best often by the vote for E. H. Guie.
