Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XIV. NO. 40 POLITICAL POT-PIE Next Monday evening the municipal campaign in this city will close in a flame of glory preparatory to the battle of ballots all day Tuesday. The campaign from start to finish has been fought with much bitterness and if a tenth of that each side has accused the other of being guilty of be true then the Pie-maker is of the opinion that neither the Republicans, the Democrats nor the City Party candidates should succeed and there being no Socialist candidates, let the election go by default, but the Republicans have nominated some excellent men as have the other parties. ** ** There will be not less than 28,000 votes cast next Tuesday and fully 18,000 of these will be cast for the Republican nominees, with the exception of the head of the ticket. There is hardly any doubt but that Calhoun, Carroll, Prosser, Murphy and Goddard will get all of the Republican strength, although it is hinted that Carroll will run behind the ticket some votes, not enough, however, to in any sense endanger his election, even though he runs behind a couple of thousand. Calhoun will lead the ticket with Prosser a close second and Murphy right up among the bunch. The talk that Goddard will be sacrificed by the Republicans for Heifner is all bull-con. Goddard will not run a thousand votes behind Murphy and if he got what he merits he would run ahead of him. Speaking about the mayoralty contest after carefully going over the situation the Pie-maker is of the opinion that Miller, owing to the great Republican majority in the city, should win by at least 5,000 plurality, but owing to the general feeling that he will gradually open up the town should he be elected, he will not win, if win at all, by not to exceed 500 votes. The entire church influence of the city is with Moore and that is going to cut a tremendous swath in the Miller forces. Of the men who supported Trimble it is not believed that Miller will get more than a fourth of them. Of the men who supported Russell he will get about half and none of the men who supported Levy and but few of those who supported Humphries, and that too despite the fact Humphries has made a speech in favor of Miller's election. The men who supported Trimble say they did so in order to have two good men nominated and not because they intended to desert Moore. Now that Trimble is not a candidate they are all the more determined to vote and work for Moore and the men who talk this way are all black ribbed Republicans or claim to be. * * * A strange coincident in the fight for mayor has come under the observation of the Pie-maker and it is this: The colored voters seem almost a unit against Miller and for Moore. Just what has prompted the sporting element of the Afro-American voters and the church going element of the same voters to all favor Moore in preference to Miller the Pie-maker is at a loss for an answer, but it is so, and so decidedly so that, the Miller supporters could not now change the situation do what they may or might as a counteracter. The Afro-American voters do not number to exceed 500 or 600 in the city and under ordinary circumstances would not amount to SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday, February 28, 1908 very much whether they voted the Republican, the Democratic or the City Party ticket, but if the vote for Miller and Moore be as close as it is anticipated it will be, that vote, if solid for Moore, will defeat Miller. *** Early in the campaign it looked as if there would be a general stampede to Metcalf, but the indications now are that he will not get more than 3,000 or 4,000 votes of all cast. Of course every vote that Metcalf gets weakens Moore that much, and that is just what has aroused the church folk to their present activity in the campaign, the belief that Metcalf was thrown in the race to defeat Moore and that too by the whiskey men. * * * Unfortunately for Moore the Daily Times is advocating his election, which means almost certain defeat for him. No greater calamity could befall a candidate seeking office in the state of Washlngton than to have the Times support him. It is generally believed and admitted by the general public that, "Saw it in the Times, damn lie," and in this particular instance the Times convicts itself as it has been damning Moore and his administration almost every day since Moore went into office and now it eats crow as to all it has said in the past and comes out and supports him for reelection. On the other hand the Post-Intelligencer is doing good work for Miller and if he is elected at all he and his friends should not overlook the fact that, the P.-I. did it, although in advocating Miller it is claimed the P.-I. has had to swallow some very bitter doses. Commenting on the announcement of Gen. John D. Atkinson to be a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor the Yakima Democrat says, "while he is a professional office seeker, yet he would make a far more capable governor than the present mistake in the gubernatorial chair. Atkinson has some idea of economy at least and a mind of his own." The Colfax Gazette is of the opinion that Mr. Atkinson had the gubernatorial bee buzzing in his bonnet four years ago, but took the attorney general's office as a compromise, and it further adds, his record both as attorney general and state auditor is good, which will help him along in his present fight. "The candidacy of Mr. Atkinson did not come as a surprise," says the Willapa Harbor Pilot, "as he has been frequently mentioned as a probable candidate, but his candidacy will add zest to the contest as there are already four or five other candidates in the field." The Hartline Standard is of the opinion that if Mr. Atkinson is nominated and elected he will be a credit to the state as he is a man of undoubted integrity. It further adds that he is exceedingly popular all over the state and will make a splendid run. The most important political announcement made recently happened last Sunday, when the Hon. John D. Atkinson announced his candidacy for governor. Governor Mead has at last got an opponent that will set him the hottest pace he ever dreamed of having. Atkinson can beat Mead in Spokane, Yakima, Walla Walla, Pierce and King counties. Snoonish would fall in line and the southwest like- PRICE TEN CENTS wise. The sentiment in this county is pronounced against the present governor. It is a safe wager to say that Mead will not poll 2500 votes in Pierce. —Tacoma Forum. Personal Paragraphs. C. W. Howard of Bellingham, one of the shrewdest politiciahs in the Northwest, spent a few days in the city last week and from the pleasant smiles he was giving the boys who do politics, Gov. Meade was getting some clever work done for him. W. P. Bell, the Everett politician, who desires to succeed Attorney General Atkinson, spent last Monday in the city talking the political situation over with his friends. If Mr. Bell is wise he will let his boom for this office die a bornin. S. G. Cosgrove of Pomeroy, who, by the way, has gubernatorial aspirations, is spending a few days in the city attending a meeting of the board of regents of the state University. Believing that success is certain for him of course Sam is all smiles. Ellis DeBruler, chairman of the Republican state central committee, is planning to issue the call for the holding of the state convention to choose delegates to the National Republican convention in June as soon as the city election is a thing of the past. Frank H. Brownell, who was in the city one day this week, declared he is out of politics, but from the interest he seemed to take in a couple of fellows talking politics near the table where he was having his midday lunch Frank must be mistaken. Former Senator John L. Wilson, who was taken East some weeks ago to undergo a surgical operation is expected home on or about March 10th. A. P. Sawyer, who accompanied him returned last Friday evening and reports the senator in splendid condition. Joe Mohundro, who has been sojourning in Eastern Washington for the past month or more, returned home last Saturday and when seen Monday said: "I tell you Jones has Ankeny skinned by two to one, and I am also of the opinion that Sam Cosgrove will be the Republican nominee for governor." A. J. Falkner, a late acquisition to the legal department of the Seattle Electric Company, is now in the city preparatory to taking up the duties for which he was employed by the company. Falkner is perhaps one of the ablest young attorneys in the Northwest and will prove a power of legal strength for the company. Roy Rudio, who was elected editor of the University paper, finds he is in a kettle of hot water acting his part. If the authorities would suppress that worthless little sheet and spank those kids the parents would probably get some returns from the money they are spending to keep them in school, a thing they will not get as things are now going.

CAYTON'S CURRENT COMMENT 2 Taft and the Colored Vote. (From the Oregonian) What would the Negroes gain were they to defeat Mr. Taft and make Mr. Bryan president? They would gain the dubious satisfaction of defeating a man who has always been their friend and throwing victory to their declared enemy. Mr. Taft had very little to do with the Brownsville affair. What little he did was from a sense of duty, and not from hostility to the Negroes. As good citizens would they wish a public official to violate his oath of office to protect criminals of their race? But may he have been mistaken? Certainly; but at the worst his mistake was an honest one. On the other hand, Mr. Bryan is an enthusiastic upholder of the whole body of southern anti-Negro legislation. By his acts he proclaims his belief in Negro disfranchisement, in Jim Crow ordinances, in the chain gang horrors, in peonage and in the suppression of Negro schools. At any rate, all these things are part and parcel of southern Democratic orthodoxy, and Mr. Bryan has never repudiated one of them. It is very easy for the Negroes to decide which is the better friend of their race, Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan. Let them put the question plainly to both aspirants, "Are you for or against Jim Crow legislation and Negro disfranchisement?" and see what the answer will be. Is there an intelligent Negro in the country who does not know that Mr. Bryan would be obliged to approve of these barbarous measures and that Mr. Taft would freely and heartily oppose them. Chester Chafes For Liberty. A move has been made by the relatives ef Chester Thompson to have him released from the insane ward of the state penitentiary, and the move will not only be stubbornly resisted by the prosecuting attorney, but it is being severely criticised by the papers of the state. Notwithstanding all this there is no donbt of the fact that Chester was in a bad way at the time he killed Judge Emory and was by no means responsible for his acts and all because he believed that Emory was standing between himself and the woman he desperately loved, and Chester being mentally unbalanced did no more than any other crazy man would have done. That he did not deserve hanging was a foregone conclusion and now it is a question whether he deserved life imprisonment. If now the physicians believe he has been fully restored to his right mind there is no reason for keeping him locked up and the courts should issue an order for his release. The talk on the part of most of the papers is of a more or less sentimental nature and appealing to prejudices rather than facts. If a person is mentally unbalanced at the time he or she commits a crime there is no justification in punishing such person for the act after reason has been fully restored. Ankeny Acts Unwisely. At a dinner given by Senator Ankeny at Washington City, to which a number of leading Republican politicians were present, among them Speaker Cannon, bitter attacks by the speakers were made on President Roosevelt, he being denounced as a most dangerous personage. Senator Fulton of Oregon, who by the way, is coming in for his share of criticism in connection with the timber frauds of that state, and who may yet be indicted in connection therewith, made the most vicious onslaught THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN on the president of all present. It is rather remarkable that Senator Ankeny should have invited only the bitter enemies of the president to his dinner and among those enemies some whom the president through his agents had shown up as either actual criminals or criminally associated with public looters. Such steps on the part of Levi Ankeny will not help him in his fight to return to the United States senate from this state because a great majority of the voters of Washington believe in the policies of Theodore Roosevelt and will uphold his hands even to the detriment of Senator Ankeny. Washington - Lincoln - Douglas. The three men of the United States from the time it came into existence to the present time, we believe the world will agree with us in saying, were George Washington, the father of his country, Abraham Lincoln, the saviour of his country and Frederick Douglas, the emancipator of his race. Its a strange coincident too that these three men should have all first seen the light of day in the month of February and in the southland. There is still another striking similarity in the lives of these three statesmen and that is, they reached their high state of development under the most painful pressure. George Washington led the armies of the struggling colonies in the Revolutionary war against fearful odds and just how under the circumstances he succeeded at all, God only can tell. He was driven from place to place in the dead winter to protect his tattered soldiers from being captured by the British, but finally struck boldly out for victory and won in a flame of glory. What mortal man save Abraham Lincoln could have undergone what he did in the trying times of the great Civil war when the enemies of the government were attacking it from without and the Knights of the Golden Circle shooting the defenders of the government in the back, not only actually shooting them but even at the very capital of the nation making deadly onslaughts on them. But notwithstanding all this Mr. Lincoln stood steadfast and immovable at the helm of the ship of state and weathered it through, finally bursting forth in a flame of glory that dazzled the world. A less persistent man would have failed and the Southern oligarchy would have been established beyond the peradventure of a doubt. With the North and South both favoring slavery it was the task of a Herecules to think of doing anything to disturb the grove in which the United States government had fallen into as to African slavery, but the escaped slave, Frederick Douglas, determined to strike a greater blow at slavery than the mere underground railroad traffic and so he began to agitate and agitate until the fires of freedom and emancipation burned so persistently in the bosom of the breast of old John Brown of Harper's Ferry fame that he struck the first blow that kindled the flame that finally consumed every vestige of slavery at the famous Appomatox Court House. With his life eternally in danger wherever he went Frederick Douglas worked but the harder on his life purpose and the victory that he lived to see achieved was one of the greatest in the history of mankind. It will thus be seen that these three American heroes were the children of adversity but never once faltered when once they begun. Friday, February 28, 1908 MMENT Last of Brownsville. So far as the United States senate is concerned the last of the Brownsville affair has been heard as the committee that has had the investigation in charge for the past two sessions of Congress has made its final report and the same has been adopted by the senate. The committee approved of the discharge of the company by the president without honor, but fastened the the crime on no one individual or number of them of the company. This whole affair has been one of the most unfortunate occurrences in the administration of President Roosevelt as the same results could have been reached by pursuing a different course and the political excitement and hullabaloo that it has kicked up would have been avoided. But few if any of the Afro-Americans of this country desired to protect the criminals among them, but it smacked too much of the lynchings of the South in discharging the soldiers without due process of law. Did Not Jim Crow Washington City. The efforts of the members of the House of Representatives of Congress from the South to place a Jim Crow law on the statute books for Washington City met a deserved rebuke last Saturday and if the hell devils from the South, who are guilty of all manner of base and ignoble crimes against the Afro-Americans of that section, believed that by strategy they had captured the men of the North, who captured them at Appomatox Court House, they were mistaken. The white men of the South spend their time year in and year out devising schemes and plots to strike down and humiliate the black folk to a greater extent than they have already been while the white men of the North go on devising better conditions for the general government. The latter, as they did at the time of the Great Civil war, will finally wake up to the general cussedness of their brethren of the South and then there will be more hell to play of the kind there was from 1861 to 1865. There however seems to be another phase of the Thompson situation and it is this: For and in consideration of the support Will H. Thompson is giving to Miller's candidacy for mayor, which Prosecuting Attorney Macintosh says will mean all of 2000 votes for the Republican nominee for mayor, only a passive resistance is to be made by the prosecuting attorney when Chester Thompson's case will be called before Judge Snell of Tacoma to argue for his release from the penitentiary. "It looks to me as if that was the deal," said a group of well known politicians one day this week, "and if it is every friend of Judge Emery will work from now on for Moore. We do not believe Chester Thompson should be released from prison because suffering as he is from the form of sanity that caused him to kill Judge Emery might cause him to kill Charlotte Whittlesey as soon as she returns to the city, which will be in a couple of months or more." As to the facts of any deal entered into between Will H. Thompson and the prosecuting attorney the writer verily knows not, but if there is then its a shame and blot on the fair fame of the community. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, 307 Epler Block. Phone Main 305. SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Published Every Friday at 307 Epler Block. Phone Main 305. H. R. Cayton ..... Editor and Publisher Susie Revels Cayton ..... Associate SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year ..... $2.00 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three Months ..... .60 Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Second Class Mail Matter, SOUTH CAROLINA VS. AFRO AMERICANS. In deploring the fact that South Carolina has not a compulsory educational law on her statute books a leading paper of that section declares that, she has not and for no other reason than that a large percentage of her population are Negroes. In other words the whites would be forced to send their children to school, a thing they do not now do, if the law would not be equally effective as to the colored folk, and the powers that be do not want to educate that class as they look upon them as undesirable citizens. One would suppose that the whites of the state of Tillman are imbued with too high and lofty purposes of state to not eagerly educate their children. Who would have thought after having listened to a Tillman tirade that there was a single white man in all South Carolina that need to be even reminded that his children must be sent to school. Tillman declares that, it is in South Carolina where the ideal American citizens are to be found, and that the white population is free from European slum adulteration and that true Aryan blue blood flows in every white man's veins in South Carolina. But despite his allegations the educational status among the whites of South Carolina is at such a low ebb that a compulsory school law is sadly in need of lest an overwhelming majority of her white citizens be overtaken and devoured by the blue imps of ignorance. More is the pity that a compulsory school law is not placed on the statute books immediately if not sooner. The startling point about the whole situation, however, is the fact that, the law is not wanted because it would operate on the Afro-Americans the same as the Anglo-Saxon. So long as a state in this union of states or anywhere else is so narrow and bigoted as to carry class legislation on her statute books, it will continue in the damnable condition that South Carolina is now in and will be ruled over by such dangerous demagogues as Tillman and his anarchistic cohorts. The history of South Carolina ever since the establishing of the United States independence has been one of revolution, a refractory sister and it will continue such until education becomes more generally disseminated among the masses and especially among the whites. The Afro-American, despite his surroundings, is struggling to educate his children while the Anglo-Saxon is still groping in ignorance the same as he has been for the past two centuries and we here predict that many of those living in South Carolina at this time will live to see the state snatched from its present ignorant tyrants and be ruled over by statesmen from those who are now being oppressed by the Tillmanic brigands and border outlaws. Senator Lattimer of South Carolina is dead, but the terrific Tillman still lives on. Here is another strong piece of evidence that the good die young or it would be Tillman instead of Lattimer that South Carolina would be mourning for today. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Of course girls in male attire are "as you like it," because you are only a man. While Uncle Joe may still be able to get his cannon off, there is nothing to it except the noise. It occurs to us that the Post-Intelligencer waited a good long time time before showing up Chief Wappenstein's short comings. To be sure the past week's municipal campaign has been a red hot one because the City Party had plenty of Wood to add fuel to the flames. Although the contour of Ravenna Park is very low, yet the park board was of the unanimous opinion that it is entirely too high for it to financially reach. There is a run on Hungarian titles by the female Vanderbilts and there is likewise one on Uncle Sam's money bags by the hemale sourdoughs of Hungary. Close the campaign next Monday evening in a flame of glory, is the watch word. And we suppose there will be plenty of booze at the close for fuel for the flames. Kangarooing in the county jail has given way to converting to Christianity. "God works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform," and in this instance is working in rather close quarters. Dirty dollars may be very objectional, but the man who will not grab a dirty dollar as quickly as he will a clean one is the exception and by no means the rule not even excepting George Cotterill. In claiming a share of General Putnam's estate, Mrs. Wickham of Seattle is doubtless looking for a bit of profitable advertising before blooming out into some business enterprise. Advertising will pay. We suppose that Baltimore society woman who appeared at a dinner party in a bathing suit was but taking the preparatory step to appearing at some subsequent dinner party clad only in nature's suit. Oh morality, thou art a mockery. E. W. Houghton may have been the architect of James A. Moore's fortune, but he badly balled his own up and is now appealing to the courts to unravel the tangled web he wove in trying to ball Moore up. He that diggeth a ditch for his neighbor will himself sooner or later fall therein. It seems to be almost time that herculean efforts be put forth to head off the ravages of tuberculosis throughout Chrisendom and especially the United States, in view of the fact that, it has reached the point where it is claiming almost as many victims each year as do the railroads. Prosecuting Attorney MacIntosh says, 'the jury found that Chester Thompson was suffering from a paranoidal form of dementia praecox.' Gwan there Kenneth you know better than that for, if he had have been, the very name let lone the disease would have killed him long before now. Gwan, gwan, I say and quit cher kiddin. You are pretty late Miss Snooks, but I will forgive you and also give you the raise in salary that you have asked for that you may pay for your new hat, which, I must admit, is a dream, and all because you recommended the Seattle Republican to me in which to place my publications. It has given me better service and satisfaction than any other paper that I have had such business with and I keep its telephone number, Main 305, in front of me all the time that I make no mistake when I have a notice for publication. (Miss Snooks is a bird.) 3 Fifty years ago had some one advanced an idea that the Japanese nation was of Aryan instead of Mongolian stock both the advocate and the idea would have been ridiculously ridiculed, but the wonderful evolution of the little brown men has made the haughty white men desire to gobble up the brown men, hence they are now of Aryan stock. That court martial tribunal that found Gen. Stoessel guilty and sentenced him to death for having surrendered Pt. Arthur may sound good to the Russian ruler, but the world in general pronounces it the act of a farce comedy. Pt. Arthur surrendered because the little brown men had whipped the Russians to a complete stand still, and there you are. And Seattle is planning for another bench show despite the fact John Riplinger is still in Honduras on a vacation. Just how such a show can be carried on with Rip out of the ring passeth all understanding, but perhaps Comptroller Carroll may be able to straighten things out as he doubtless knows more about John Riplinger's wishes as well as business than any one else in Seattle. Enormous sums of money are being squandered in the erection of imposing church edifices in Seattle just now, not so much because they are needed or are in anyway essential, but simply to be equal to some other denomination. These fabulous sums for church edifices might be used to far better advantage for the benefit of the cause of the Lord, if only a little judgment was exercised. No wonder royal apes of Europe find it an easy matter to dispose of their worthless titles to American girls at enormous prices when because an Oregon girl is presented to Emperor William it becomes the gossip of the world. What the deuce has Emperor William got any first-class Oregon or any other state girl bested in. The honor is all his to get an opportunity to shake the hand of an Oregon girl. Chief Justice Whitfield of the state of Mississippi has handed down a decision declaring it fatal to a criminal case where an Afro-American is convicted by a jury from which Afro-Americans were purposely excluded. The result of this decision may get a few more Afro-Americans on juries in the South and it will also mean that fewer Afro-Americans charged with crime will ever get an opportunity to face a jury. There are six prohibition states, Kansas, Maine, North Dakota, Georgia, Alabama and Oklahoma. There are fourteen other states in which the prohibition movement is gaining ground; they are, Mississippi, South Carolina, Florida, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri and Deleware and the District of Columbia. According to the Associated Press there are eight other states where prohibition will prevail during 1909 or 1910. These states are, Kentucky, Texas, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Massachusetts and South Dakota. Notice To Attorneys.

In Harris vs. Great Northern Railway Company the supreme court decided against the Railway Company upon a point important to shippers and transportation companies. Harris shipped some household goods from Montana to Spokane. The Railway Company had two published rates for such goods. One was the regular rate under which the company assumed the usual liability for loss or destruction of the goods; the other a reduced rate to be given in consideration of the Company being liable only to a limited amount. In this case there was nothing said between the shipper and the Railway agent when the goods were delivered for shipment. The goods were destroyed by fire and the owner sued for their value. The Railway Company claimed it had a right to say under which rate the goods should be shipped. The shipper contended that as he was not given a receipt showing the reduced rate and limited liabilitiy as the published rate schedule requires and as no arrangement was made as to the rates, that the usual rate and full liability would prevail. The majority of the supreme court, in an opinion by Judge Root upheld the latter contention and decided against the Railway Company, three judges dissenting. Humor of the Law. Business was dull, debtors were shy and wary and Tim, the process server, was playing in hard luck. A case was on the list for trial in which an important witness named Reardon had defied all efforts to summon him. At last recourse was had to Tim. Tim took the writ and started on his errand. On the way he met Reardon's dog. The dog had a package in his mouth and a bright idea immediately struck Tim. Caressing the dog in a friendly way, Tim untied the bundle and placed the summons within, and then the dog took it up and scampered away to his master. Tim followed at a respectful distance, watched the dog go into the house, and his master undo the paper and the legal paper fall into his grasp. "That's the copy," joyfully exclaimed Tim peering from his hiding place under the window, "and here's the original." Tim returned his writ to court, which decided, after hearing objections, that the service was good.—Green Bag.

Zion Baptist Church fair was a success, financially and otherwise. Mrs. George Meadows, of Everett, attended to business in the city last Thursday. The Dorcas Charity Club held its regular monthly meeting at the Afro-American Hall last Monday evening. Owing to the illness of the president Mrs. Hawkins presided. The Pioneer Social Club gave a Martha Washington Tea Party last Monday evening at the residence of Mrs. J. E. Hawkins and the most of the members and their friends were present. Mrs. Mary Ray, who lives at Fremont, celebrated her 101st birthday last Tuesday evening, surrounded by her relatives and a host of friends. She is still in fairly good health. From an Afro-American standpoint no one seeking office in Seattle this time is as deserving of their united votes as A. J. Goddard. If you vote a scratched ticket be sure to place an X after the name of A. J. Goddard, candidate for councilman-at-large. The married lady members of the Forum will furnish the program next Sunday with Mrs. Aurora Grose Russell presiding officer of the day. She has arranged a good program for the day and you are invited to be present to listen to the same. The following Sunday exercises in honor of Charles Sumner and Crispus Attucks will be held and the program committee hopes to have a very brilliant speaker from Tacoma to take part on the program. The Williams Jubilee Singers spent a profitable week in and about Seattle, closing their engagements last Monday evening at Green Lake. The company sang to a crowded house every night last week and filled four engagements Sunday. Probably no company of concert workers on the road is meeting with greater success than this company. Mr. and Mrs. Williams have saved a sufficient amount from their earnings to have themselves built a splendid apartment house in Chicago from which they are receiving a handsome monthly rental. "A Royal Slave" comes to the Seattle Theatre next Sunday afternoon. The play has been before the public through the East and South, for nineteen years and has never been seen in Seattle,—probably owing to the fact that the company did not have to invade the Northwest for time. The scenes are laid in old Mexico, in the days of the Montezumas, or before the Spanish invasion, and it tells as romantic a story as the stage has had for years. "A Royal Slave" is supposed to be Aguila, the last of the Montezumas, who is a peon, or slave, at the hands of the conquerors of his country. The play will be given a Mexican setting, and the costuming is of a brilliant character. Those who attend the Seattle Theatre next week could easily imagine they were witnessing a fiesta in our nearest neighboring government to the south, Mexico, the land of the Montezumas.
