Seattle Republican

State Libraries LE REPUBLI SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday, February 14, 1908 They may not keep him out of politics, but it is very apparent they will keep him in politics. Last night a lecturer in this city discussed, "What Hell Consists of and Where it is Located." We suspect it consists of subscription dodgers and is located at Dodgersville. If the House of Representatives will but acquiesce in the work of the Senate the A. Y. P. exposition is dead certain of getting $700,000 of government dough. Let the good work go on. The open saloon all over the country will be administered a good many death dealing blows within the next five years and the saloon and dive keeper had just as well wake up to that fact. Army goods to the amount of $200,000 have been stolen from the Bremerton Navy Yard in the past few years. If the employes there are not careful the government will replace them with "white" men. In a number of Negroes lynching another Negro we are reminded of the female hog that will devour her own offspring. But under the present day civilization it is hard to say what an alleged human being will do. Of course Martin J. Maloney would vote for Ankeney for senator, if he were a Republican, and he will vote for him although he, Maloney, is not a Republican because Martin has been seen, which speaks volumes. Beach Hargris as he looked at his father rigid in death, the result of a pistol shot in his hands cried out, "Lord have mercy," and now a curious public is wondering whether Beach was pleading for himself or his father. Three dollars a head for votes, which Oscar P. Oliver paid for the 80 he got in the late primary election, was even more expensive to Mr. Oliver than the old system, when one got all the votes he wanted for $2 a head. Will Humphrey has congratulated John F. Miller and if any one entertained a doubt as to the latter's election such may now be cheerfully withdrawn. From the very outset all Miller needed was Billie Humphrey's blessing. Ohio has gone Taft hell bent for 'lection and the balance of the country will follow in her wake. If Buster Bryan thinks he can skin Taft he can begin to put his lived gener only well. SEATTL VOL. XIV. NO. 38 SE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Published Every Friday at 307 Epler Block. Phone Main 305. H. R.

When Capital forces Labor into an open controversy then Capital will see its finish. Soon the Second ward will have a way to get things through the council, at least this is a prediction of Gene. There are in the Soldiers' Home of this state 486 inmates thus crowding the institution to its utmost capacity. "Has Type a Soul?" is an editorial in the Times. It may or may not, but it is a damn lie because, "saw it in the Times." The fight between the prohibition advocates and the whiskey adherants all over the country looks as if it will be one to a finish. Give the country a rest says the Times editorially and yet it goes on issuing a paper just the same. Why doesn't it practice what it preaches? Taft and the presidency has taken on definite shape and with Hitchcock in charge of his campaign from now on there will be things doing. Girls who hang about the army barracks looking for soldier lovers get just what is coming to them when they are abused by those worthless whelps. Now that Abe Lincoln's ninety and nine birth day is history, preparations are under headway for his centinary birth day which promises to be a universal celebration. Otis M. Moore editor and proprietor of the Daily Washingtonian of Hoquiam, has been arrested for criminal libel. At last Mr. Moore's fortune has been made. Lucky dog. "All the devils in hell can not keep me out of politics," exclaims Dr. Matthews. PRICE TEN CENTS fighting clothes on as he will be afforded a splendid opportunity. It is a striking coincidence that the names of each of the three mayoralty candidates in Seattle begins with an 'M'Moore, Miller and Metcalf-two of those names after March 3rd are going to begin with a 'D.' they will be Dennis. Judge James Hargis of Kentucky feud fame now perhaps realizes how it felt to be shot down without warning. The dose he had so often administered to others was administered to him and that too by his own son. The Judge will kill no more. From the amount of talk Horace Dunbar did about Anglo-Saxon superiority over darker races we got the impression that Dunbar was a "white" man, but in the light of subsequent developments the imimpression was evidently an erroneous one. One reason why the other 5,000 men did not place their names on the registration books is doubtless due to the stringency of the money markets as well as the strong improbability of the candidates not being able to put up the regulation $2 per voting. Wonder if Ezra Meeker in his meandering has stumbled on to the fountain of importal youth and drank therefrom without having any knowledge of its fabled fortunes. His undertakings at the age of three score and ten would seem to indicate that he has. "Humphrey Getting Results," says a head line, which may or may not be true, but there is one thing certain, Humphrey is getting advertisement and we are inclined to think that, Humphrey is more anxious for that than he is for congressional results. Governor Hoch of Kansas has recommended to the legislature of that state now in session that women be given the right of suffrage. The governor had such a close call the last time he ran for governor it is very apparent that he is looking for more votes. The son who is proud of the fact that he is his father,s son and can point with pardonable pride to his father's life of usefulness, which he, himself hopes to emulate, is a son that the world feels proud of. Such a father though he has not set the world on fire with great deeds is the father that has made the world better for having lived in it and has left a heritage to future generations that will not be forgotten not only by his son, but other men's sons as well. --- CAYTON'S CURRENT COMMENT 2 Hobbies Are Necessary Should hobbies be encouraged?—The man without a hobby is the man without a fixed purpose and he will drift down the river of life in a haphazard way seeing nothing and accomplishing still less. We know it is customary to pronounce persons with a hobby as being crazy, but it was the hobbyized brain that not only discovered America, but has revolutionized the world with useful inventions. The man who believes that he will sooner or later be able to establish at least telegraphic communications with the planet Mars seems to us just now a fit subject for the insane asylum, but, in the light of discoveries and inventions for the past 100 years that man is no nearer crazy than would have Edison been pronounced to be fifty years ago. He or she with a hobby aside from routine employment has something at which idle moments may be advantageously employed and even if the hobby is never fully realized such hobby riders will have broadened their own minds so materially that that of itself would be doubly worth the time that was put on the hobby. Have a hobby if you would leave fame and fortune to those who will follow in your footsteps. Education For Women Should women receive classical educations? has been asked by some one. There can be but one answer to this question, and that is, yes. Water can not rise higher than its level and so also is it with the human family. The mental development of any people is dependant almost solely on the efforts of the woman. Its the hand that rocks the cradle that also directs the destinies of the human family. The child of course receives the will, determination and foresight largely from the father, but all of them will lie as dormant as if they were not implanted in it unless they are nurtured and encouraged by the mother. The bread winner of the family is by no means the mind maker and the character builder of the family though he can do his part. If it were possible for the father to transmit his qualities of uprightness and mental greatness to the offspring, then a man's offspring from a monkey might be just as intelligent as one from a woman. Unless the mother is thoroughly conversant with the mother tongue it is an undeniable fact that, the offspring will never be. We therefore are of the opinion that, it is far more essential for the woman to receive a classical education than the man, for the man can take a scientific or commercial course and perhaps win a maintenance for the family more readily than he could with a classical education while the beauty and sweetness of the language can be preserved and imparted to the offsprings by the women possessing a thoroughly classical education. Do Negroes Shoot Too High? In the battle of life do the American Negroes shoot too high? is a question that THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is puzzling not only the Negroes, but the deepest minds among the whites all over this country just now. It seems almost absurd to think any one can shoot too high in the way of mental improvements, in fact that is impossible. Every living person should have an ambition that would prompt them to "hitch their wagons to a star." figuratively speaking, but the American Negro is peculiarly situated and the higher he shoots in the political and commercial world, the fewer marks he hits. There is need for lawyers and doctors among the Negroes of this country and a crying need for astute business men, but for young men and women among the Negroes to educate themselves with the view that they will be able to go out in the political and commercial world and supplant young white men and women whose fathers control those businesses it is absolute foolishness. In the mechanical, farming and utility worlds the Negro's services are in great demand. If so then let himprepare to do those things not only as well but even better than any one else and then every time he takes a shot at one of them'success will drop. A Negro in Chicago, who had thoroughly educated himself in one of the Southern colleges and came North, where he would stand on an equality with the white man, found "honorable employment" as hard to get in Chicago as in Mississippi, if not more so. In a state of desperation he went to blacking boots and studied the work. He gave his customer the best "shine" in the city and for the same amount of money, and got the customers by the score. Finally he resolved himself into a brainy Bowers and got his brains to working and as a result he invented a shoe polish the sale from which has made him independently rich. Thus boot-blacking was not so bad after all. Shoot at those marks that are in gun shot, if you would bag the game. In other words so perfect yourself in the work you are forced to do that to your employer you will be indispensable, then you and not the employer will dictate the price you are to receive for your work. Andrew Carnegie's Libraries A question that is being frequently asked all over this country is: "Could Andrew Carnegie have done more good with the same amount of money he has put into libraries?" What a world of thought this questions opens up to one. He could, and he could not, are both apt answers to the question. In donating large sums of money to cities for library purposes it occurs to us that, the old principle of "to those who have more shall be given," is brought into play. Had the same amount of money been put into agricultural and industrial schools, it we believe that a more needy class would have been reached and the money thus expended would have laid a foundation for those who took advantage of the opportunities it would have afforded, to bought libraries for them- Friday. February 14. 1908 selves and still have had sufficient money to have lived independently. Such schools would have induced boys and girls of the country to remain at home instead of flocking to the cities where they lead questionable lives and work for small wages under difficulties. They would have improved the land and made it a hundred times more valuable. The whole South is almost a Goldsmith's Deserted Village, the roseate tales of the New South to the contrary notwithstanding, and all because the methods of farming that were used there a hundred years ago are still in vogue. Three or four large industrial schools, where the hand as well as the head would be educated, located in each of the Southern states would have wrought wonders among those living there and increased the revenues of the United States a hundred fold. Of course the libraries in the various cities are doing a world of good and the whole people are very grateful to Mr. Carnegie for them, but we are discussing the abstract principle and not criticising him for giving as he did. The money was his and it was his right to do with it whatever suited him best, nevertheless, the fact still remains that the same amount of money placed in such schools as mentioned above would have been of more general good to the great middle classes in this country than the putting it into libraries in large cities which cities are amply able to well provide for the libraries in which the studious could indulge their inclinations for research and mind improvement. Prohibition Rapidly Increasing There may or may not be a rising tide of temperance in the United States, but there certainly is a rising tide of prohibition in the United States and nothing accounts for it more than the increasing number of saloons, drink resorts and dive brothals where men and women congregate for their own debauchery as well as that of the general community. Within the past few years six out of the forty-six states have enacted strong prohibition laws and it is highly probable that six more will be added to that number in less than two years more. Thirty-eight out of the forty-six have passed restricted liquor legislation, thus showing the tendency even in those states to sooner or later pass prohibition laws. The evil of the present generation is not so much the abstract principle of taking a drink, but it is the congregating in dives and brothals where lushing and booze fighting are indulged in as long as those present can stand up to the bar and call for more. The all day and night soloon is the evil of the age and even drinking men are now aware of that fact and are perfectly willing to curtail their licenses and for no other purposes than to save the young men and women from lives of shame and criminality. Its the promiscuous drinking and treating that are causing the trouble and steps all over the country should be taken to call a halt in such vices. Friday, February 14, 1908 IN LINCOLN'S MEMORY. The program at the Forum last Sunday was devoted to eulogies on Abraham Lincoln and the times in which he lived and operated, it being the Sunday nearest his birthday. While there were not as many present as should have been there were a sufficient number to make it a most interesting meeting from every stand point. The exercises were opened by the president, who paid the great emancipator a glowing tribute and bespoke for those who had been selected as orators of the day a splendid review of the life and acts of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. John C. Robinson was introduced and though he spoke briefly of Mr. Lincoln he spoke feelingly and in doing so he drew a comparison between Mr. Lincoln and some of the later day leaders of the republic. After dwelling at length on Mr. Lincoln's grand and noble acts while president he said: "Long after the man, who now occupies the White House, who should have lived in the age of a Cæsar, a Nero or a Napoleon, who is known in the political world as the Terrible Teddy, who rides over laws and precedents as sticks, shall have been forgotten and his memory blotted from good men's minds. Honest Abe Lincoln's memory will still go marching on." That Hayden J. Richardson is a general favorite with the Forum attendants was apparent for his introduction by the president was met by the audience with a round of applause. He paid his respects to those present by observing that the spitit of reverence for Abraham Lincoln was not yet dead in the breast of the Afro-Americans as was seen by the large number in the audience. He then plunged into the midst of his subject and with parallels and metaphors painted a picture of the immortal Lincoln that would have held the rapt attention of United States Congress. The birth of Lincoln he declared was likewise the birth of Negro liberty in the United States. He closed his brilliant euology with: "Though it has been forty years since the bullet of the cowardly assasin snuffed out his dear life and sent it on to the silent hall of death his name still lives and as we ascend that plain of civilization where peace and love reign on high and I pray that future generations will never permit the memory of Lincoln to die or grow dim." Rev. J. M. Webb by invitation of the president also spoke briefly on the great emancipator and declared that Lincoln was but an instrument in the hands of the Almighty sent to liberate the down trodden in America. He compared him to Moses, who led the children of Israel to the "promised land" and then fell at the border land. Mr. A. B. Ball, who is a pioneer in this city and one of the deputies in the office of the county treasurer and who is always present on such occasions, spoke entertainingly of Lincoln and the work he did. "I voted for Fremont when the fires of freedom first begin to be kindled in the United States and I am proud to say I voted for THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN A. B. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Lincoln, who set the world on fire with his burning brands of freedom. Its always a pleasure to speak of the acts of that great man whose depths were fathomless and whose heights were incalculable. His memory is as dear to me as to you and as dear to you as any other American citizen." Both Mr. J. W. Gray and Mr. W. M. J. Wylie made timely remarks on the subject, Mr. Wylie speaking largely from personal experience as he was in the Army of the Potomac at the time and often saw Mr. Lincoln in person while he was president. Mr. I. I. Walker closed the program with a brief exhortation that made the hall ring with applause. "Are you and each of you living the life that Mr. Lincoln would have you live and verily expected you to live when he emancipated the race? Are you making good as a citizen of this republic? Not only Mr. Lincoln, but every one that aided him expected you to improve yourselves and do your duty as citizens and prove that you were deserving of the great sacrifice that your liberty cost." After the audience had joined heartily in singing America the day's work was done. At the Young Men's Christian Association of this city exercises were held last Wednesday evening in memory of Lincoln and among those who spoke was Governor Albert E. Meade. He spoke in a most pleasing strain of the great commoner and was wildly applauded by the guests present. The Young Men's Republican Club gave its annual banquet in memory of Lincoln the great war president and some exceedingly brilliant speeches were made by those invited to speak on that occasion. Some one used a simile a few days ago to the effect that, "long after the Terrible Teddy will have been forgotten the name of Honest Abe Lincoln will still be fresh in the memories of the people." Evidently the name of Lincoln has a long time to yet live. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, 307 Epler Block, Phone Main 305. REALM OF RELIGION 4 POLITICAL POT: PIE) Mayor Moore and his brains and that too despite its raving against the two for the past three rears. ‘“‘Sawit in the Times. Damn lie.”” se 8 The churches of all denominations in the city are reported as favoring the re-elec- tion of Mayor Hickman Moore, which if true, it will take some clever work ‘on the part of the Republican campaign managers to ever come and yet they are perfectly hopeful of electing John F. Miller. * * * The total registration for Seattle is 35,- 060. which means that not less than 5,000 persons entitled to register in the city failed to take advantage of the privilege, and some of those are doubtless heavy property holders, who never take any in- terest in elections, but who are eternally kicking about corrupt officials who system- atically rob the public. * * # The City Party fired the opening gun of the campaign last Tuesday evening at Egan’s Hall to a house full and overflowing. While some of the speakers got off some rather clever campaign fuel nevertheless some very intemperate remarks were made that will not only not get the City Party any votes, but have a tendency of driving some persons from the support of Mayor Moore that had intended to vote for him. *._ * *& That Scott Calhoun will be overwhelm- ingly elected to the office of corporation counsel to succeed himself one has but to refer to the enormous vote he received at the primary election. There are Republi- cans of this city that preferred E. H. Guie and Solon T. Williams to Mr. Calhoun but a majority of the voters did not think as they did and as shown from the returns Calhoun got more votes than the other two combined and he should receive the entire Republican strength at the coming elec- tion. . 8 & The Republicans to a man in the Second ward should vote for Hon. E. W. Way for councilman of that ward. In a three-cor- nered fight for the nomination Mr. Way defeated two as good men as ever wore hair and so signally defeated them that, there is no room for complaint. He not only got a plurality over his leading oppon- ent, but he got a majority over all and what more could the most enthusiastic Re- publican expect. If the good folk want representation in the city council that will be representation they have the Way to get it and they should improve it. ** * Notwithstanding the fact that Thomas P. Revelle is practically without opposition in the Seventh ward for councilman, yet it is hoped that every Republican will turn out and give him a vote to show to him that they appreciate the work that he has THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Pe Eee ees a gee ee Ene | al Mee ee eRe et a Re Ste we DERN | has gotten more for the ward in the past two years than it has ever had before, and then again he is largely responsible for the public market the city now has and that too is worthy of a great deal of considera- tion and, the voters of the ward irrespec- tive of politics should remember him with their votes on that account. * * * Gov. Miles C. Moore, so says the Times, declared one day this week Senator Ankeny would carry Walla Walla county over W. L. Jones for senator. Well, ‘‘Saw it in the Times, damn lie,’’ is rather a well es- tablished proposition among the voters of this county and state just now and this al- leged interview with Gov. Moore is looked upon in the same light by those who saw it in the Times. But if Senator Ankeny has any friends at all in the state they ought to be in his home county and if he expects to carry a single county in the state it ought to be his home county, but even that is seriously doubted by every one except those fellows in his political employ and the senator himself. 7 8 @ Unless the Pie-maker is sadly mistaken W. F. Prosser, the candidate for city treas- urer on the Republican ticket will get ninety per cent of all the votes cast for any one for that office at the coming elec- tion and why not. Mr. Prosser is a man of unblemished character and he has: al- ways served the public to the best of his ability when he was elected to office. Yes, he has held public positions of trust in the past and he has always honorably filled them, but irrespective of the number of times he has held office the Grand Army selected him of all of their number for this position and they being satisfied to so re- peatedly honor him, and he having always given such splendid satisfaction there is no reason why he should not receive all of the votes cast for that office and make it unan- imous. *_* * The opposition parties are endeavoring to make much out of the fact that the Re- publicans have nominated two men for councilmen at large from the Ninth ward and from the same precinct and are therefore appealing to the voters to beat one or both of them for that reason. Noth- ing more inconsistent could be advanced than such an idea. The people wanted the direct primary law, because it guaranteed them perfect fairness by eliminating the bosses and has done in this very instance all that it was ever advocated it would do. It has nominated two men on their merit and their honesty of purpose. In voting for those men the people did not stop.to inquire in what ward they lived. They were well aware of the fact they both lived in Seattle and that was sufficient af- ter it was found out they were men of high moral character and would look well after the interest of the city. Let every Repub- lican vote for both Albert J. Goddard and William H. Murphy nominees for council- men at large on the Republican ticket and eRe lat MOM hoe ERIC he Cac ELT GaRSE eT MGT Friday, Febrnary 14, 1908 will hold office. Mr. Murphy has for the past eight years served the city well in the capacity of councilman from the Ninth ward and his acts in those years should be criterions of what he will do in the coming four years. As to Mr. Goddard the mere mention of his name inspires success. .. BENCH AND BAR..| The Tacoma Bar Association banqueted on Lincoln’s birthday and the members of superior court were invited. Friday.

Whether or not Negroes should enter the army of the United States under white officers will be discussed at the Forum next Sunday. The Houston is the name of an elegantly furnished lodging house recently opened by Messrs. Harrison and Houston at 607½ Third avenue. Williams' Jubilee combination, which will appear in this city next week, has always made good in Seattle, and the various members of the company have acquaintances in the city, which will mean a pleasant time for them while here, aside from the work they will do. Mrs. L. A. Graves is to be congratulated on the splendid success of her watch contest and young ladies' drill entertainment given for the benefit of the Dorcas Charity Club at the Afro-American hall last evening. She realized something over $50 on the watch contest. The drill was a brilliant success and her musical and literary program was one of the best ever heard in the city. The singing of Mrs. French and Miss Crissman was splendid, while the reading by Miss Mabel Dixon was more than praiseworthy. It has been learned through an exchange to this office that the wife of John Combs, who was murdered in this city before Christmas by William Bailey, is in a most critical condition on account of grief for her husband. He wrote her he would be home for Christmas, and it was, it will be remembered, just as he was starting on his long journey that he was murdered. She is all but a raving maniac, and in her ravings is still waiting for him to come. Combs was prominent in Masonic circles of Holden, Missouri, and his remains, which were shipped to that place by the local lodge, were laid to rest under the auspices of the A. F. and A. M. of that place. A homing party was given in honor of Miss Alma Clark at the residence of the Misses Crissmans, at which some thirty or more guests were present. Luncheon was served in one of the private dining rooms, after which the room was cleared and those present enjoyed a season of dancing. The entire Lotus Club, of which Miss Clark is a member, were invited. The music for the occasion was furnished by Prof. Reed's orchestra. The rooms were tastefully decorated for the party and all present enjoyed a most pleasant time, and the honor was highly appreciated by Miss Clark. AT SEATTLE THEATRE. "The Country Squire," at the Seattle Theatre this week, is a refreshing change from melodrama. The latter is good, but it is not relished for a steady diet, though it is welcomed occasionally. Mr. Lee Willard has developed into a splendid character actor, and if he continues the impersonation of such characters as "The Country Squire" he will have his name emblazoned upon the escutcheon of dramatic fame so firmly that he will become a popular star for years to come. "The Country Squire" is a pretty, natural, old-fashioned comedy, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN of no particular location, but might happen anywhere. The supporting company is exceptionally good, all the quaint characters being in the hands of competent people. Next week's attraction at the Seattle Theatre will not be new to Seattle theatre-goers, but it will draw capacity audiences at every performance. Joseph Murphy has played "Kerry Gow" in Seattle and always successfully, until he outgrew the parts in age and M. avoirdupois. His successor who plays the part here this season, Bernard Daily, makes the finest young Irishman ever seen in "Kerry Gow." He looks like and is reminiscent of that much-beloved Irish actor, the late Wm. J. Scanlan—only that Daily is a better singer and dancer and just as good an actor. "The Kerry Gow," with its race horses, carrier pigeons, quaint costumes and witty Irish sayings, as well as its dramatic and comedy features, is an unequaled Irish play.
