The job hunter begins to drop out of sight as soon as work begins to put in its appearance. Senator Wilson has been operated on and is in a fair way of recovery, which is exceedingly pleasant to hear. "Debs Makes a Diseovery," says a head line. His discovery was doubtless that, he is of the undesirable citizen class. Mysterious murders or deaths are becoming entirely too numerous in Seattle these days. What's the matter with the police? Of course Mr. Fairbanks is conducting a dlgnified campaign for the presidential nomination for Mr. Fairbanks is just made that way. President Roosevelt's nephew shows his good sense by making his own way in the world without papsucking his distinguished relatives. All over Seattle politicians are in a Trimble and all because the direct primary election may hand them a bunch they are not expecting. The Democratic bed appears only large enough just now to hold William Jennings Bryan and he seems to rather enjoy the exclusiveness. Guy C. Stratton may not be guilty of murder in the first degree, but he is guilty of criminal carelessness and for which he should be beaten with many stripes. Ferdinand Schmitz has done as much to perpetuate his memory in the hearts of Seattleites for all time to come as any other man that has ever lived in the city. It occurs to us that, if the Washington members of Congress should get all of the appropriations they have introduced bills for, the country would go bankrupt. Why such horse plays? THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN PUB Reading, riting and rithmetick sounds good to us for children although not many children are getting those essentials in the schools in these days of highfalutin ideas. Would-be-Mayor Miller seems rather touchey over what the Civic Union says about him. Do not get excited John, the Uniondoes not expect to say anything about your Alaska outing. The city of Quebec was founded by Samuel Champlain just three hundred years ago this year and that municipality is making preparations to celebrate a tarcetenary and that too without the exposition features. A colored man in San Francisco killed his wife and her paramour, whom he caught in a compromising position, and then killed himself, and with as much grace as if he had been an Anglo-Saxon of the purest type. Let the Japs continue to make preparations for war if they like, that is their privilege, and if the United States think they are making preparations to attack her then let her citizens go and do likewise and quit chewing the rag about it. HOW TO VOTE. On going to the polls next Monday to vote in the primaries assuming that you are a Republican, ask the clerk for a Republican ballot and then go to your booth to mark the same. Your ticket will look something like this and you would do well if you would also mark it as the sample ballot herein is marked: REPUBLICAN TICKET For Mayor: Vote For One Lewis Levy John E. Humphries Oscar P. Oliver C. H. Burnett Patrick P. Carroll William Pitt Trimble - - - - X George F. Russell John F. Miller For Corporation Counsel Vote For One Scott Calhoun Solon T. Williams E. H.

Goddard - - - - - X PRICE TEN CENTS Specie payment by the banks has been restored, which, to an extent, restores confidence, but the banks will have to go a step further and assist industrial concerns if they desire to see the army of unemployed go out of business. Sam Weston, Sam Perkins and C. S. Jackson, three well known newspaper men, rejoice over the Sunday closing laws, but in this they hardly share the well wishes of the reporters and mechanics connected with their respective papers. There are times when the enforcing of the "unwritten law" is quite excusable, but on the whole too many unprincipled scoundrels take liberty as a license to commit crimes for which the unwritten law should be most vigorously applied to them. During the year 1907 women gained voting privileges in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Great Britain and Russia. When the United States shall have fully relegated the political bossess to the rear then women will gain voting privileges in this country, Patriarch Clayson to the contrary notwithstanding. France is now growing a tobacco crop every year valued at $80,000,000. Now if the Dagoes would go and do likewise they would not have to depend on Kentucky to furnish them with the filthy weed and run chances of having it burnt in the barns after it has been bought and paid for by the border outlaws that exist in that state in great numbers. Those bankers of New York may have drunk the first toast of the evening to President Roosevelt in absolute silence, thus indicating their contempt for the man and then went wild with enthusiasm when the toast to J. Pierpoint Morgan was drunk, but the people all over this "land of the free and home of the brave" do not entertain similar views as do they. The bankers are making the mistake of their lives in openly showing a disregard for the president of the United States because forsooth he to an extent put an end to stock speculation and thus saved the country from the hands of grafters and gamblers of a high order. The news of the silent contempt of the bankers at their annual banquet held in New York last Monday evening was flashed over the wires and read the next morning and the people felt almost as much aggrieved at the bankers as the bankers did at the president. Such actions on the part of the financiers of this country but intensifies the already strained relations between themselves and the people, which can but result in much injury to both. 2 On the subject, "The Negro in America," Andrew Carnegie, some months ago, gave a remarkable address before the Philosophical Institute of Edinburg, Scotland. "The Negro in America." As indicating the trend of the address and the hopeful outlook for the future of the Negro, we give a few extracts as follows: "Let all doubters of the future of the Negro race remember that it has 23,462 church organlzations and has built 23,770 churches with a seating capacity of 6,800,000. It has 2,673,977 communicants out of 10,000,000 population; few adult Negroes are outside of the church. Their church property is valued at $26,626,448-over five and one-half millions sterling. It may be doubted whether even Scotland's percentage of communicants reaches that of the whole Negro race. "In seven states—Deleware, Arkansas, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana—the cost of Negro schools in 1900 was $1,345,859; whereas Negroes contributed $1,496,036. Excepting a few city systems, it can be said that apparently Negroes in the South contributed to their schools in 1899 $3,762,617 out of a total cost of $4,675,504 leaving but $912,887 to be paid by the whites. In 1900 no less than 746,717 farms, 38, 233,933 acres 59,741 square miles, just the area of England and Wales, or double that of Scotland, were owned or tenanted by Negroes, who forty years previously owned nothing. These embraced, in the Southern Central States, 27.2 per cent of all the farms, in the South Atlantic States, 30 per cent, in the Southern States-Florida 33 per cent, Georgia 39.9 per cent, Alabama 42 per cent, Louisiana 50.2 per cent, and Mississippi 55 per cent. "The figures just quoted include farms owned or tenanted by Negroes, i. e., they were either landlords or farmers. When we come to farms in the hands of owners we find that in the twelve Southern States Negro landlords in 1900 owned 173,352 farms, and the aggregate wealth of Negroes was estimated at $300,000,000."—Lutheran Evangelist. The Vanderbilts invested another billion dollars in a foreign title when Miss Gladys became the wife of Count Lazzio Sczechenyi, a young Hungarian nobleman with more title than money. If the present investment does not prove a better one than the one in which Miss Cosuella, an older sister, some years ago purchased from England, then Miss Miss Gladys is in line for a world of trouble. The wedding last Monday was the most elaborate affair that has been reported for many moons, the decorations of the house costing $40,000 while the wedding presents were valued at over a million dollars. Many of our citizens are inclined to criticise rich Americans that spend millions of dollars in purchasing European titles for their daughters. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN which titles are not worth the paper they are written on, but since the money they have is theirs and inasmuch as we have been taught since "the mind of man runneth not to the contrary," that, "a fool and his money soon part," there seems to be no justifiable reason for any one so criticising another for such investments. Persons have always purchased gold bricks and they always will, and if they have the money why not. The Gridiron Club of Washington, D. C. wined and dined last Monday evening the various presidential candidates on both the Democratic and Republican tickets and among the guests was President Theodore Roosevelt, who like all the others present, spoke at length on the political outlook. The Gridiron Club gives annually such dinners and those so fortunate as to be invited to participate are supposed to lay aside all of their personal animosities and mingle freely and friendly with those present. It will be remembered that it was at the annual banquet prior to the one just pulled off by the Gridiron that President Roosevelt took occasion to roast Senator Joseph Benson Foraker to a final fare you well and the president's friends cheered him to the echo, but it is always he who laughs last that laughs best, and after Senator Foraker had replied to the unexpected attock the president almost created a presidential scene by insisting that he be given an opportunity to reply to the senator, which was denied him, which caused the president to lose his temper and to openly rebuke the master of ceremonies and the club in general. [Name not visible in the image] A. J. GODDARD Candidate for Councilman At Large FRIDAY. JANUARY 31. 1908 Judge Poindexter announces that he will resign from the superior bench of Spokane county to become a candidate for congress. T. D. Rockwell and W. H. Ludden, also of Spokane, are out to represent the Third district. These men are all Republicans. The Democrats have a number who are probably willing to offer themselves as a sacrifice. It is plain to see, however, from the tenor of our exchanges, that the people are loth to part with the services of Wesley L. Jones in the lower house. It will take a big man to fill his shoes. (Since the above was in type it develops that Judge Poindexter will probably not be eligible to run for congress at this time. Section 15, article 4, of the state constitution reads: "The judges of the supreme court and the judges of the superior court shall be ineligible to any other office or public employment than a judicial office or employment during the term for which they shall have been elected." This would seem to settle it, although the lawyers seem to have a way of getting around almost everything.) —Colfax Gazette. PECULIAR AND PERTINENT. A dispatch from Berlin states that the Wireless Spark Telegraph Company claims to have beaten the Marconi transatlantic wireless record by about 300 miles. They transmitted messages for 2,290 miles, between Hallen near Berlin and a Hamburg-American Line steamer, the "Cap Blanco," off Teneriffe, in the Canary Islands. Wireless telegraph messages have been received at Point Loma from Sitka, a distance of 1,905 miles. This is the longest distance across which a message has been sent on the Pacific coast. "Peck's Bad Boy," the farce comedy at the Seattle Theatre this week, as a play is not overburdened with a plot or anything strenuous, but it does furnish a laugh for almost every minute of the two hours that it takes to present it. Why? Because George W. Peck was a funny writer and knew how to build up characters taken from life and make them funny. The company presenting it this season as a specialty organization is better than ever before. At the matinee Saturday a mammoth Teddy Bear will be presented to the boy or girl, while witnessing the performance, who is able to make the best guess as to the number of people in the theatre. The bears are on exhibition at the Bon Marche this week and the winner can have his or her choice of the white or brown one. "Peck's Bad Boy" closes Saturday night. "As Told In the Hills," a pretty Western play, opens at the Seattle Theatre Sunday afternoon. The program given at the Forum last Sunday by the young ladies was the most interesting ever given at the Forum. The young ladies should be congratulated on their effort. Every number was good and shows what can be done if a little effort is put forth. Miss G. Harvey, Miss Eva Ford and the other young ladies deserve much credit. The young gentlemen will render the program next Sunday. FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1908 TO POOR TO HIRE A LAWYER-Judge William B. Sheppard of Florida recently presided at a session of the United States district court in Georgia. Among the cases to be tried was that of a defendant who was too poor to pay for counsel, and it was suggested to the court that he appoint counsel for this defendant. He replied: "I shall do nothing of the kind. I know it is customary to take such action in the courts of your state, but I have never done anything of the kind in my own courts in Florida. I see no more reason why a lawyer should give away his services than that a merchant should make presents of groceries or clothing to parties who are shopping without money. I will defer this case for a sufficient length of time to allow the prisoner to make arrangements with a lawyer to defend him." This has naturally given rise to some comment. In the various states of the Union it is a time-honored custom for defendants in criminal cases to have counsel appointed for them when they are without means to engage one. In many states this is provided for by statutory enactment. In this state the law reads: "If the defendant appear without counsel he shall be informed by the court that it is his right to have counsel before being arraigned, and he shall be asked if he desires the aid or counsel, and if it appear that he is unable to employ counsel by reason of poverty, counsel shall be assigned him by the court." There is no provision here for payment of counsel so assigned, but in some other states the law says that such counsel shall be paid by the state a reasonable fee for services, the amount usually being left to the discretion of the court. Some of the states go so far as to give the defendant the privilege of selecting his counsel, who is then paid by the state. The question raised by Judge Sheppard as to the fairness of placing upon a lawyer the obligation of gratuituous service is an interesting one. A lawyer, being an officer of the court, would be in contempt if he refused to take the assignment, and if he happened to be one with a considerable practice of his own his choice would have to lie between a fine for contempt or the sacrifice of valuable time and work for which he would get no pay. There are some lawyers to whom the opportunity of being of service to the community and to a needy individual would be sufficient reward. To the credit of the profession it must be said that as a rule those who are assigned to such cases take hold of them earnestly and conscientiously. —Review. Look here Mr. Attorney, politics or no politics if you have a legal notice for publication The Seattle Republican will give you a square deal if you will call-up and give it an opportunity to figure on it or them.

When the Negro of this country as a whole centralizes on any one candidate of many in the Republican party all aspiring for the same office then and there he makes a sad political mistake. Every black man and every white man knows and knows full well, that it matters not which of the candidates that succeed to office he will have nothing to offer to his black supporters save some position that even the lucky one could do a hundred times better by taking a similar position with some private person or concern. "To the victor belong the spoils," in no sense of the word includes the voting Negro, and, therefore, what is he to gain by casting a solid vote for any one of many Republican candidates. Under the present conditions all over the country the black man can not consistently support and vote for any nominee of the Democratic ticket, especially in state and national affairs, but in local affairs he should divide his vote among all of the Republican aspirants at the primary election, keeping in mind the candidate whose public policy is along the line in which he is vitally interested and after the primaries vote as readily for a Democeat as a Republican if the former seems to be a better man. Ever since the Negro has been a voter he has voted for the Republican candidates for office and yet he for the most part is invariably forgotten as soon as he has cast his vote. The Jews with not nearly so many voters among them as are to be found among the Negroes, are given cabinet positions, elected to the United States senate and in short given substantial recognition in the party emoluments while he is given some minor position and told "be good or that will be taken from you." This is not intended as a party arraignment, but to point out to the Negro the mistake he makes in endorsing as a whole any one candidate for an office for which there are a number of Republican aspirants. Down in Kentucky where the Negroes cast a majority of the Republican votes he is never honored with a place on the state ticket because the Republicans themselves will not stand for it any more so than will the Democrats. Out of the eight Republican aspirants for mayor in Seattle at present no argument could be advanced that would justify the Negro as a whole in supporting any one of them, and yet, from our view point, Trimble is the man of the hour. Notwithstanding the fact there are not to exceed 500 Negro voters in the city we believe there are reasons why every one of these candidates should get some of that vote. The Negro's interest does not lie wholly with one man or faction any more so than does any other distinct class of voters and the sooner he sees it in that light the better for him as a whole. The direct primary givas every man an opportunity to go for the one that meets his ideas without leaving his party and the Negro should be one of the first to take absolute advantage of that opportunity. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, 307 Epler Block. Phone Main 305. 3 No attorney in the northwest stands higher than E. Heister Guie and he should be nominated next Monday over his competitors by an overwhelming majority. If you can not speak well of Mr. Guie it is because you do not know him and while the same may be said of Mr. Calhoun, he has had the office for the past four years and there is no reason why he himself should not be willing to step down and out and give another good man a chance. If he is not then push him out. \* \* \* When you go to vote next Monday, if you are a Republican or if you expect to vote for Republican candidates, ask for a Republican ticket and when you go to your booth to mark your ticket put an 'X' after W. P. Trimble for mayor; put an 'X' after E. Heister Guie for corporation counsel; put an 'X' after W. F. Prosser, for city treasurer; put an 'X' after H. W. Carroll for city comptroller; and one after A. J. Goddard as one of the councilmen at large. * * * Men can hold office so long that it will seem to them that that office would have to close its doors and go out of business if they should happen to die or the country go to the dimnation bow wows if they were not elected to office. Laboring under such a hallunciation they act when in office as if the city was owned by them and the voters their subjects. There are cases of that kind in this city today, where men have held office so long that they think it utterly impossible for the city to get along without them. Their apparent indispensability reminds the Pie-maker of an occurrence in one of the departments at Washington City: "One of the best clerks connected with the department occasionally got "full," but owing to the fact that his services seemed to be indispensable he was put back te work every time he went on a "toot," contrary to the rules of the office. A new head of the department was ushered into service and soon thereafter this expert clerk went on a toot and the matter was reported to the new chief, who seriously warned the clerk as he had been from time to time on such prior occasions. In the course of time the same thing happened to the clerk again and the chief called in the clerk's superior and asked him what he would do if the clerk should die, and he replied: "Well we would have to get along without him." "Well, sir, consider that clerk dead now and you take steps to get along without him." * * * The Afro-American Political Club, indepent in politics, will, it is said, endorse a Republican candidate for mayor to-night. Just what is to be gained by such actions on the part of an independent club is more than the Pie-maker is able to figure out, unless it has exacted some promise from the candidate it expects to endorse or received so much "per" for the same. It is hardly possible that any such pledge has 4 been given or any renumerative consideration transpired and it is therefore absolutely foolish on the part of the club to endorse any one at this stage of the game as the outside world will look upon the whole transaction as a monetary consideration. If you desire to be independent in politics stick to your text. * * * A great majority of the citizens of Seattle are opposed to the city ever returning to anything having the appearance of "wide open" and for that reason they should vote against any man that they have reasons to suspectwill permit gambling and vice to be practiced in the city under official protection. No one knows that John F. Miller if elected mayor of Seattle will permit such, but his political associations in the past have been such to lead you to suspect that he will and you therefore should vote for a man that you have every reason to believe will not tolerate it for a single minute. Mr. Miller may go in the office with good intentions, but the men who will have been responsible for his nomination and election will have a good deal more influence with him than those who merely voted for him, and the men who brought him out and who are boosting for him night and day are men who have always advocated a wide open town. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. *** That George F. Russell is going to get a great big vote no one will deny, and may even be nominated, but all the same the fight just now is between Miller and Trimble and it will behoove all good citizens to take no chances in scattering their vote for favorite sons, but get down to business and vote for Trimble for mayor, Prosser for city treasurer and E. Heister Guie for corporation counsel and make sure of a good wholesome ticket to go before the people with. "Politics make strange bedfellows," so some one has wisely said, and after casting over the political line-up of the papers of Seattle the correctness of the statement is very apparent. The Post-Intelligencer aided by the Argus is fighting for the nomination of John F. Miller. The Seattle Daily Times aided by the Seattle Republican is fighting for the nomination of William Pitt Trimble. In both instances one can realize that "truth is stranger than fiction." The Seattle Daily Star is a Moore paper and it is being aided by the Catholic Progress, although in its heart the Progress desires to see Russell nominated. * * * It has been announced that Hi. Gill is to be president of the council when he will been nominated and elected. You must never count the chickens before they are hatched, even if you begin to hear them chirp, for they some times die in the effort of getting out of the shell. If Jeffery does not give Mr. Gill a hot chase the Pie-maker misses his guess and he seldom *** If the voters of Seattle will only look to their best interest next Monday the Clancy THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN contingent of the undesirable citizen class will fairly Trimble in their boots for the ensuing two years. Seattle has few men, if any, more deserving of public recognition than A. J. Goddard, who aspires to be one of the nominees for conncilman at large on the Republican ticket and the Seattle Republican truly hopes that you and each of you will give him a vote next Monday. In fact just as well make it unanimous and every true Republican give him a vote. * * * Iy you yourself desire to forge a political ring about the neck of Seattle then vote for Miller, Scott Calhoun and E. L. Reber and you will then have one that will not only include the offices in the municipality, but will extend to the county. If this is not true then what in heaven's name are Pete Smith, W. H. Clark and all of the south district political push doing in town working like the very old devil for the men just named as the nominees of the Republican ticket for the coming municipal election? Vote it down. * * * Scott Calhoun has held the corporation counsel's office for two terms, four years, and he should be willing to give up the office and let some one else have a turn at the wheel. There are hundred's of others who can fill the place just as efficiently as he and why not give everybody a chance. Vote for Guie and get a change. * * * The Civic Union after a most careful investigation into the political history of E. Heister Guie, candidate for the nomination of corporation counsel on the Republican ticket, could find nothing against him that would warrant the members thereof in not recommending him to the voters for their suffrage. In speaking to one of the members about Mr. Guie, he said: "His record is clean and the committee was of the unanimous opinion that he was deserving of the support of all good citizens. Of all the candidates whose lives the committee looked into none was cleaner and more praiseworthy than his and for that reason the committee almost to a man will themselves vote for E. H. Guie for the nomination of corporation connsel on the Republican ticket." ** If John F. Miller is nominated for mayor on the Republican ticket next Monday it means that Seattle will have two years more of Moore and this is said advisedly. It will be remembered that Miller told Russell two hours before he, Miller, filed his declaration to become a candidate for the nomination of mayor, that he would not enter the contest and it was on that final decision that Russell filed his declaration as he did not intend to file if Miller did, but at the last minute Miller rushed in much to Russel's disappointment and chagrin. The supporters of Russell are much hurt over Miller's actions, but have said nothing, but it is an open secret that the Rus- FRIDAY, JANUARY 31. 1908 sell men are laying dead for Miller if he is nominated with knives up their sleeves twelve inches long and they won't do a thing to him at the polls at the general election. What cares Clancy if Moore or Miller is elected so far as he is personally concerned? While he knows or believes that Miller will give the city an easy going administration, he knows he will not be the man of the hour of the administration and he knows further that he could fare no worse under Moore even if as bad and for that reason he will either take no interest in the election or will openly support Moore. There is but one way out of this difficulty and that is for the Republicans to nominate William Pitt Trimble, a man entirely free from political entanglements and who if elected, will give the city a clean and business-like administration. * * * In advising the readers of the Seattle Republican to vote for Albert J. Goddard as one of the nominees on the Republican ticket for Councilman at large the Piemaker is of the opinion that he could not recommend to you a more deserving man in the whole Northwest for political preferment. As the founder and operator of an industrial concern in this city Mr. Goddard commands the respect of all men and the labor unions even to this day are endorsing him for the nomination he is now seeking for the manly way he treated labor in his employ when he ran the Fremont foundry. As a member of the legislature he so conducted himself and so cast his vote that, the interest of the people at all times were looked after. He, at the close of the session, was one of the truly honored members of that body. As a member of the city council from the Ninth ward he made a record that is serving him well in this contest. As a member of the county central committee of the Republican party, a position he has held for a number of years, he has given his time and his money for party success unstintingly. As a citizen of Seattle he is the peer of any. Therefore if its truly good men that you desire to nominate for office, no one who is aspiring for a nomination at this time is more fitted to fill the bill than Albert J. Goddard. * * * The grandest train in the world is said to be the Kaiser's It cost $1,000,000, and took three years to build.
