Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN VOL. XIV. NO. 44 POLITICAL POT PIE While the members of the Republican state central committee were in the city last week the Pie-maker endeavored to learn from each of them something of the political sentiment of the section from which he came, and verily believe he was eminently successful. Secretary Taft's presidential candidacy seems to prevail everywhere. While some one of the other presidential aspirants would occasionally appear a second choice advocate, yet Roosevelt-Taftism was first choice. As to the United States senatorship both Ankeny and Jones had their champions. "Whitman county will give both of the aspirants a heavy vote, and on the senatorial question old factional lines will be broken alll to smithereens," said a representative from that section. "As to the gubernatorial nomination, I believe Whitman county will give Henry McBride a majority. Ankeny men may be boosting him, but we know Henry McBride is no Ankeny sympathizer." Spokane county, it was believed by her representaive, would be solid for Taft, but would be badly cut to pieces on the gubernatorial situation. One thing he felt certain of, Henry McBride would not carry the county. Cosgrove, Mead and Atkinson all stood well, and either one of them would get as many or more votes than McBride. He believed that Jones would beat Ankeny by a handsome majority in the county. After carefully polling the southwest it was plain to be seen that Wesley L. Jones most decidedly had the lead on Ankeny. The section is badly chopped up on the gubernatorial question, with McBride lagging behind all the other aspirants. In this section, indications pointed to Mead being in the lead with Cosgrove a strong second. In the Northwest the Jones sentiment seems far more pronounced than Ankeny. Every one spoke highly of Jones, and while none spoke evil of Ankeny, yet it was quite evident that Jones was the favorite. In the gubernatorial contest all of the candidates were favorably mentioned, with perhaps Mead in the lead. Cosgrove seems to have Snohomish; Atkinson, Jefferson; McBride, Skagit; Mead, Whatcom; with all of them having a good following in the other counties. From what the Pie-maker was able to pick up and put together, unless a radical change in sentiment between now and primary voting day, Jones will beat Ankeny by an almost two to one vote; That no one will receive the necessary 40 per cent of the vote cast for governor, in order to be declared the Republican nominee; That either S. G. Cosgrove or Atkinson will be nominated as second choice candidates; That no one save sane and sound Taft men will be sent to the Chicago Convention as either delegates or alternates. That the Taft men are not for either Jonn Hartman or R. L. McCormick for delegates to the National Convention; That in the fight for senator and governor the lesser officers are going to be lost sight of, and unless more attention be given them, men who would put the Republican party on the defensive in the regular campaign, will be nominated. Dr. G. H. Sparling, who herewith officially announces his candidacy for the Republican nomination for coroner of King county, is no stranger to the gen- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday, March 27, 1908 eral public as he has been a delegate to every county convention held in the county for the past twelve years; he has always been a strong political factor in the south district, and many a successful aspirant for county and state official honor owes his success to his loyalty. Dr. Sparling has been the resident physician at Newcastle since 1894 and has never before aspired to office, and in shying his castor into the race for coroner, he feels that he is not asking more of the Republican party than he has given it from time to time. He believes owing to past political affiliations and associations, that an overwhelming majority of the workers in both the south and the north districts will enthusiastically support him, which will result in him getting an overwhelming majority of the votes in those districts, and having many friends in the city, thns making it an easy matter for him to break, even in the city with the other aspirants for the office, and assuring his nomination beyond the per adventure of a doubt. It is the concensus of opinion that the Post-Intelligence will in the coming primary contest travel along conservative political lines, but will openly oppose the nomination of Henry J. McBride for govenor, Sam Nichols for secretary of state, and John Henry Schively for state insurance superintendent, and of course Levi Ankeny for United States senator. It will have no choice between the other gubernatorial aspirants or others seeking state honors. Whiie the Pie-maker does not know the above to be the proposed policy of the big morning news disseminator, yet such is believed to be its idea. It is said it will favor Mead for governor, but there is nothing definite about that, as the management has not expressed himself one way or another on that point. Cosgrove stands well and Atkinson has been repeatedly favored by the present owners. THE GOVENORSHIP It is a good long time until the primaries will be held for the purpose of nominating state tickets and yet at the present time there are already five gentlemen in the field seeking the nomination for governor of this great and glorious state on the Republican ticket. Those who have already announced their intention of becoming candidates for this office are: Gov. A. E. Mead, the present incumbent; S. C. Cosgrove, of Pomeroy, J. D. Atkinson, of Chelan county, now Attorney-General; Col. W. M. Ridpath, of Spokane and Henry McBride of Seattle. The new primary law provides that where there are four or more candidates of any political party for one state or congressional position, every elector shall be required to designate one first and one second choice for each such position. No voter is allowed to vote for the same person for first and second choice, and if he does vote for first and second choice his vote will not be counted. In the case of governor this year it looks like there would be quite a mixup. Every candidate on the ticket will be voted for as first and second choice, but there will be some one who will receive a large number of votes as second choice and others who will be the first choice only. This of course will give the party receiving a large number of second votes a chance to win out as both the first and second choice PRICE TEN CENTS votes will be counted to his credit. On this account it will be almost impossible for any one to forecast what the result will be. It is claimed by some politicians that Cosgrove will receive the largest number of second choice votes and will therefore be the nominee, while on the other hand it is claimed that the large majority of votes received by Governor Mead will be first choice. The other candidates it is claimed will receive both first and second choice votes and there will be such a mixup that no one will be able to tell until the votes are counted, who is who. Were there less than four candidates it would not be necessary to make a second choice and therefore the people would be able to nominate the man of their choice no matter who it might be.—Big Bend Empire. BREWERS BREWING TROUBLE Office getting is not to be the whole show in the coming campaign of this state as both the Prohibition question and the Woman Suffrage question will be injected into the campaign and be more or less interesting subjects, especially the former. The prohibition question has been slowly pushing itself to the front year by year, until it will almost be the paramount issue this year. The liquor men laboring under the belief that it will be, have already taken steps to dispute every inch of ground it may gain for a foothold, and have therefore, even before the prohibitionists have made any move, issued the following industrial statement: Facts for farmers, manufacturers, distributors, insurance agents, transportation companies and wage-earners : Lumbar, rubber goods, steam engines, machinery tools, steam fit-ins, plumbers supplies, wagons, har- nesses, building supplies, fildering materials, chem- ical supplies, paints and varnish, furniture, brushes, house products, advertising, signs, printing . These industries and allied trades have a total investment of upwards os $3,100,000,000, and they pay annually state and government license, real estate and personal taxes aggregating the enormous total of $84,500,000. The continued growth of prohibition and the destruction of the brewery and distillery interests will result in the farmer and the allied trades in all lines of manufacture being made to suffer great losses through the destroyed markets for their products. Farmers, can you afford to longer allow stump speakers, who pay no taxes and who are employed by city organizations who pay no taxes, to add to your burden by compelling you to maintain institutions that are now supported by the business that these interlopers are trying to kill? The unemployed of the United States just at the present time number many thousand who are clamoring for food and shelter. The prohibition element, if allowed to expand, will certainly aggravate these conditions by adding many thousands to the number of unemployed and overloading the taxpayers by compelling them to shoulder expenses now borne by the industries that the prohibitionists are attempting to put out of business. Every farmer, every manufacturer and every workingman in the United States should now easter his rights and use every effort to suppress this growing evil of prohibition which is jeopardizing the livelihood of upwards of six million people and which threatens to precipitate the greatest financial crisis this country has ever known.—The Manufacturers and Dealers Club of Chicago. That the temperance-advocates will make a vigorous reply to this is almost certain, and thus will the anti-liquor campaign be begun and fought to a finish, and Washington, when the smoke of battle has cleared away, may be a strictly prohibition state and the big brewery plants go to complete waste. 2 Seattle is to have another church among the Aro-American citizens and the new pastor is expected to reach Seattle next Sunday. Mr. J. G. Gales, who has taken the lead in this matter met the Missionary Board of the Methodist Episcopal church when it was in session in Seattle, and prevailed on the members thereof to set aside a fuud to assist in the establishing of a church of that connection in this city among the Afro-Americans. The prospepective pastor, his wife and child will arrive in Seattle next Sunday and for some time be quartered at the home of Mr. Gales, 323 Twenty-first avenue. The following statement has been given out for publication: Rev. James N. Wallace, H. B. B. D., was transferred by Bishop Henry W. Warren to the Puget Sound Conference and stationed in Seattle. Rev. Wallace has pastored acceptably at Muskogee, Okla., for the past three years. Here he acquired a property worth fully $7,500. A beautiful, modern, brick structure built on modern basis is the result of his ardent labors. The membership has been doubled and can boast of having the best choir in the city. The church is enjoying spiritual blessing. Last November when the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension met in Seattle it was so impressed with the outlook for the beginning of the Methodist Episcopal church among the colored people, it appropriated a sum of money to begin work. Then began to cast about for a man to take this great responsibility, so they finally selected the Rev. James N. Wallace for this important endeavor. Rev. Wallace is a graduate of the State University, Louisville, Ky., also completed the Bachelor of Divinity course in Gammen School of Theology, Atlanta, Ga. Has it ever occurred to you, says the Lexington, (Ky.) Dispatch. that the newspapers of the country owe something to the colored race other than recording day after day the crimes that Negroes commit? What newspaper within your range of reading gives any space to the colored race to promote the best interests of these people? You cannot name one. We hold them up to ridicule; we show humorously, their dense ignorance and quaint views to make white folks laugh, and we tell with unfailing regularity of the worst that they are guilty of, not forgetting to say "big, black, brute," and narrate how he was lynched. Now all Negroes are not bad. There is many a good man among them. It is rare that we notice him. We owe it to him to notice him, tell of the good work he does, not only to encourage him, but to encourage others of his people. The newspapers of the South have not given the Negro a square deal. Possessed of all the prejudices incident to white life in the South, we nevertheless submit that we as newspapers treat the colored man badly and we ought to do better than we have done. By doing so we will on tribute to our own welfare. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN I do not ask you to undertake the impossible or impracticable. It has been clearly demonstrated that education makes the Negro less criminal, that it makes him less thriftless, that it makes him more helful in the maintenance of his duty as a citizen in the community in which he lives. It has also been demonsirated that in proportion as the Negro is educated, he also becomes more useful as a producer: that he secures a home, that he becomes a taxpayer. The Negro already pays taxes in merica, after only a few years of freedom and opportunity, upon more than $35,000,000 worth of property. He started in poverty a little more than forty years ago. He now owns and occupies over 500,000 homes and farms. He owns and controls, mainly in the Southern States, 33 banks. He now has 16,000 ministers, 24,-000 churches and $27,000,000 worth of church property One-fourth of the physical territory of the United States is comprised in a territory in which the Negro is depended upon very largely as the chief laborer. careful examination into the facts will convince one that in our Southern States the productive power of the individual, especially on the farm, is less by three or four times than the productive power of the individual in our Northern and Western States. Booker T. Washington. If Auditor Tyler's recommendation goes, the next campaign will be a campaign of education, and the Negro papers will be used as a medium to reach the masses. This is a brand new departure, but it will be a just and proper tribute to the Negro. Age. Rev. James N Wallace and His Late Charge. In the House a bill to reimburse the depositors in the late Freedman's Saving and Trust Company was introduced by Representative Hughes of West Virginia. It provides that $1,000,000 be appropriated to pay the verified balances of the depositors, after the dividends which the company paid have been subtracted. It also provides that all the money not called for within two years shall be used to educate the colored youth in the south.—Appeal. The coal miners of France now enjoy the benefits of the eighth hour day. The New Zealand department of labor has issued an interesting history of its operations since its establishment 16 years ago up to the present time. All branches of labor employed in the New South Wales coal mining industry are said to be rapidly enrolling in the colliery employes' federation. Owing to Asiatic competition an anti-Asiatic league has been formed in New Zealand to advocate a Chinese poll tax of $5,000, ten times as large as the British Columbia tax. A movement is now taking place among the unions in England for the abolition of systematic overtime, as a means of giving employment to more men, and so easing the unemployed pressure. The British government issued a notice recently that foreign seamen would not be engaged on British ships in European waters, unless they have enough knowledge of English to understand orders given in that language.

Doc Titus may not have been in jail for a whole month, but you would not think it by looking him over. Just why Florida's senatorial mortality is not transferred to South Carolina no one save the good God knows, and he won't tell. Heney having been beaten at his own game, is now whining like a whipped whelp for public sympathy, but let the heathen rage. Easter hats will be smaller this year than previous years, which may or may not be true, but there will be no difference in the bills for them. A fleet reception can be aptly applied to the big pow wow that the coast cities are preparing to put up to Evans' fleet now at target practice. A prohibition-temperance wave seems to be sweeping over the country and the state of Washington may be among the first states to fall a victim. A grandmother at thirty-one, and a great-grandmother at forty-eight, is a family record that should make Teddy Roosevelt take his hat off. Easter lillies will be plentiful this year, which is quite sad news to the fool fellows who will have them to pay for, but a fool and his money soon part, and so promote it be. Covering a fresh egg with a coating of lard may preserve it for an indefinite time, but submerging it in a coating of hot lard puts it in a more palatably preservative state. It must have been like gall and wormwood for the Anknenites to have been forced to endorse Taft when he is so personally objectionable to Senator Ankneny himself. In the trans-continental auto trip Uncle Sam's son ran out fully a week ahead. On arriving at San Francisco it was tendered a grand ovation, the entire city turning out to receive it. It is all very nice for Rockefellow to publicly declare he has never taken a drink, but on the square he knows and ought to be willing to admit that he has been seen taking a "bit" behind closed doors ```markdown ``` THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Bryan's Commoner asks: "Will the Chicago Conventiyn adopt a smokeless platform?" No it will not, but it will adopt a Republican platform, which is very essential in electing the next president of the United States. Firing a conductor for kissing a girl that wanted to be kissed, might be nipping the matrimonial industry in the bud, and that is anti-Rooseveltism, and certainly Superintendent Kemster entertains no such anarchistic ideas. Abe Hummel is out of jail, Evelyn Thaw out of her fine home, Harry Thaw still in the asylum and Anna Gould in New York. If this has not been a strenuous week for the New York "400," then "excuse me." Both Taft and Bryan will evidently be nominated for the presidency by their respective parties by acclimation. Both of them are reformists, all of which would seem to indicate that, the country is in line for reform in lump lots. Two custom officers in Texas mistook each other for smugglers, and in a pitched battle that followed the meeting both of them were killed. Such a mistake might occur in Seattle among the police officers if they ever dared to show up when burglars are about. Italy's royal family it is said, is delighted at the prospects of Miss Katherine Elkins entering the royal family of Italy. Of course they are, because it means another shipload of American gold dumped into the depleted treasury of those royal vagabonds. Judge Wood, who was the trial judge of the famous Heywood case, recommeded clemency for Harry Orchard. The hairraising crimes that Orchard confessed he committed should be sufficient to justify any governor granting him immunity. In the North, Emma Golman and her tribe of human cattle are branded as anarchists; in the South, the Tillmans and Vandemans who burn human beings at the stake to keep them from becoming good citizens, are called ideal Americans. County Assessor Parish is continuing to harass the business concerns of King county by insisting that they pay the bulk of the taxes of the state. Men doing business in other counties should bear their share of the burden of taxes, and would do so if Mr. Parrish would only let them. Race suicide, it is claimed, is being practiced among the Yakima Indians. Well, suppose it is, then what in thunder are you going to do about it, Mr. Meddlesome-Mattie? And again it seems to be common to the Anglo-Saxon, and we do not know as the red man is superior to the white man. Of the 180 delegates already selected to the next National Republican Convention 148 have been instructed to vote for Taft. Twenty-six have been instructed to vote for other candidates, and six are uninstructed. The names of other candidates may be presented to the convention for its consideration, but nothing more than cheap advertisement will come of it. ```markdown ``` Friday, March 27, 1908 BENCH AND BAR. (From Central Law Journal) Dismissal and Non-Suit — Right to Dismissal and Non-Suit after Counter-Claim filed by Defendant.—An interesting discussion of right of plaintiff to a non-suit after a counter-claim or set-off is filed by defendant occurs in Hoffstotler v. Louisville Packing Co. (Ala.) 45 So. Republic 418. In that case defendant interposed a counterclaim by way of set-off and recoupant. Plaintiff made out his case and defendant introduced his evidence in support of the set-off. Plaintiff offered to take non-suit which the court refused to allow, and there was verdict and judgment for defendant against plaintiff for the sum of $620. Plaintiff moved the court to set aside the judgment on the ground that the court erred in not granting non-suit. The motion was sustained. Defendant appealed. In sustaining the lower court the Supreme Court of Alabama says: "The general rule is where the plaintiff has instituted a civil action, he has the right to dismiss or discontinue at his own cost at any time before verdict. This practice has been adopted, even in those cases where defendant has pleaded a set-off and introduced evidence to sustain it. Griel v. Loftin, 65 Ala. 591; Branham v. Brown's Adm'x, 1 Bailey (S. C.) 262; Cummings v. Pruden, 11 Mass. 206; Waterman on Set-Off, 658, 660; Breese v. Allen, 12 Ind. 42g; Moore A. Bres. 18 La. Ann. 483. It is insisted by counsel for the appellant that the rule above declared is merely applicable to the common law, which does not authorize judgment over for the defendant when the cross-demand exceeds the plaintiffs's claim; that our statutes authorize a judgment over for the defendant, upon pleas of set-off and recoupment; and that what was said in the case of Griel v. Loftin, supra, was dictum. We concede that what was said in said case, on this subject, was dictum, as this question was not there involved; but the expression of the writer seems to be fortified by the weight of authority, and what was there said was applicable in jurisdictions where judgment over is provided, as well as under the common law. Anderson v. Gregory, 43 Conn. 61; Merchant's Bank of Canada v. Schulenberg, 54 Mich. 19 N. W. Rep. 741. This Michigan case was by a divided court and resulted in an affirmance of the doctrine that the plaintiff can dismiss his suit at any time before verdict, although the defendant claimed a judgment over, and was authorized, under the statute, to recover for said excess. The opinion which controlled in this case was rendered by Cooley, C. J., and as it deals with several authorities on the subject, including the case, relied upon by appellant's counsel, of Riley v. Carter v. Humph. (Tenn.) 230, we quote at length: 'In this case the defendant relied upon a set-off, which he claimed, was larger than the plaintiff's demands, and he brings the case to this court, assigning for error the order of the second court permitting the plaintiff, notwithstanding his objection, to submit to a non-suit. The general right of the plaintiff to discontinue his suit, or to submit to a non-suit, at any time before verdict is undoubted; and, in the absence of any statute taking away the right, it exists in the cases where set-off is relied upon to the same extent as in other cases. This is fully recognized in Cummings v. Pruden 11 Mass. 206, and Branham v. Brown's Adm'x. 1 Bailey (S. C.) 262.' The Court then calls attention to the fact that in many of the states statutes have been passed taking away the right. The Texas decisions to the contrary are brushed aside with the statement that they are not in point, as they were decided un- Friday, Marcl. 27, 1908 ir der the civil law. Other decisions are said to turn on the interpretation of the codes in the various states. While this case as- sumes that the authorities are almost unam- inous in support of the doctrine expounded there are cases taking a contrary view. It is true however, that this is a subject very generally regulated by statute. Humor of the Law Dr. Austin Flint the alienist, said at the Century Club in New York, appropos of a will contest that had been tried last year: “The plaintiff lost and no wonder. His case was as difficulta one as that of the young man who appeared unduly depressed after the death of his rich aunt. “«* Why are you so sad?’ an_acquaint- ance said to the young man. ‘You never appeared to care for your aunt.’ “*T did’nt,’ said the youth dolefully : ‘but I was the means of keeping her in an insane asylum the last five years of her life, and now that she has left meall her money I’ve got to go to court and prove she was of sound mind.’’ PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Fred K. Struve, one of Seattle’s heav- iest real estate dealers, returned to the city this week after an absence of many months. His healtn has been greatly improved by his stay in California. John Davis, the founder of the large and prosperous real estate firm of that name of this city, was married last Monday to Miss Myer also of Seattle, and have al- ready started for Europe on a honeymoon trip. S. G. Cosgrove delivered an able ad- dress to the Sunday Forum last Sunday afternoon to a large and aappreciative audience. He took for his subject, ‘‘ Good Citizenship.” The membership of the Forum consists of many of the leading and best Afro-Americans of the city, and they were highly pleased with what he said. State Auditor Claussen circulated among his Seattle friends last Saturday, and so numerous are they in Seattle that he found that he could give each but a few minutes in order to see a goodly number of them. Mr. Claussen, prior to being elected State Auditor, lived in Kitsap county, and was always more or less identified with Seattle, and of course he is practically at home when in the city. Samuel P. Weston, who went on the P. I. under Leigh Hunt and has been with the paper, either as advertising manager or general business manager ever since, has tendered the owners his resignation to take ffect April 30th. Sam has seen the P.-I. grow from a $30,000 proposition to a mil- lion dollar concern, and it will require some hard work on the part of his successor to fill his place. Poor health is the cause of him resigning. In naming of Dr. J. E. Crechten as san- itary commissioner, Mayor Miller makes an appointment that meets general appproval. His continuous sixteen years as one of the councilmen of Seattle has made him thor- oughly conversant with the requirements as well as the needs of the city in the way of sanitation and health precaution, and the $5,000 per annum salary therefor is suffici- ent to permit him to devote his time and talent to the duties that will be incumbent upon him. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN REALM OF RELIGION Arrangements are being made by the Western Washington Sunday School Asso- ciation for the best. state convention ever held by that organization and everything points to an unusually large attendance. The 2ist annual convention will meet in Plymouth Congregational church, Seattle, April 29th and continue in session three days. The theme for the convention will be, ‘Working for Practical Results,’” and every session will be full of splendid ad- dresses on helpful subjects. Ten thousand outline programs have been distributed throughout the counties of Western Wash- ington and every one interested in’ Sunday School work will receive one. Arrange- ments are being made to have every Sab- bath School in Western Washington repre- sented by its superintendent and teachers. No one interested can afford to miss any one of the nine sessions, for some of the strongest talent among Sunday School workers the world over, as well as in this state, will be present, and matters of vital importance will come up for discussion. Marion Lawrence, international secretary, who served as superintendentof a Toleda, Ohio, Sunday School for thirty years, will be the principal speaker. Among others will be Prof. E. O. Excell, of Chicago, the noted musical director. who will lead the singing of the convention and Rev. W. C. Merritt, of Tacoma, international field worker. Hon. W. D. Wood, well known as lawyer, jurist and financier, who is state president, will preside over most of the nine session,. Fragmentariness is not only inevitable, but may have its essential place in the completed whole. Life is made, not of one piece, but of many pieces. A. man makes his life as an artist makes a win- dow. The artist takes an infinite number of fragments of glass and sets them in their places within his design. Taken by themselves, nothing could be mare insig- nificant than these bits of glass, but when the light shines through them in their set- ting, each of them is an essential whole. So the light of God Shines -through the fragmentariness of life. You set your piecemeal undertaking, your bits of routine, your incidental experiences, on the north side of life, where there is no sunshine, and they look hopelessly dull and colorless ; but when you build them into your south- ern wall, where the light of the Eternal shines through them, then each fragment finds its place, and that which is in part is done away because that which is perfect is come. — Francis Greenwood Peabody in ‘*Mornings in the College Chapel.”’ The first thing that might be expécted of a good many of us is that we should have a much better light. If we get cheap lamps and poor oil to save money, and use untrimmed wicks and smoked chimneys because we are too careless to put them in order, it isn’t much excuse for poor work to say that we are doing it accordisg to our light. Our grandmothers did their work by tallow dips—the best work that they could do by the best light that they could get; but we have no right to be satisfied with tallow-dip work in this age of illumin- ation, God will accept poor service if you can give Him no better, but He will not ac- cept mistakes if we give them to Him be- cause we do not care to go to the labor and expense of fitting ourselves to do better.— Rey. John D. Hammond, D. D. Ss We need today the gospel of the refin- ing age, not a message of more comfort, butof mighty cleansing. Both our theol- ogy and our preaching need this searching and fiery note. Too much that calls itself religion is little more than sweetened pag— anism. Lord, deliver us from its impotent. platitudes. —Rev. A. T. Guttery. Methodism in the Northwest is well- pleased at the prospect of Rev. E. M. Ran- dull, who for six years pastored the First Methodist church of Seattle, becoming one of the bishops of the connection at the next general conference to be held in Baltimore next May. As general secretary of the Epworth League he has made a splendid record, and in view of the fact there will be a number of bishops to be elected this year, Rev. Randall should stand in direct line of promotion to the bishoric. Christianity in general and Methodism in particular sustains a great loss in the death of Bishop Fowler of the Methvxlist. Episcopal fraternity, and that too, despite the fact he was past his three-score-and-tew years of age at the time of his death. Up to the time he was forced to take his bed. he was active in the cause of Christ and was a power in the pulpit. { Prohibition Legislative Record The liquor interests are cirenlating as: an argument against prohibition the reeserd of states where prohibition has teem adopted and afterward repealed, declared unconstitutional, or annulled in some other” way, the argument being that most of the states tnat have tried it have fouandt\aa failure.

Address: Rooms 629-631 Burke Bldg. in Seattle, King County, Washington.. March 27-May 8, 1908. PERSONAL Mr. Lula Graham, wife of Mr. Arthur Graham, died at Wayside Mission Hospital Tuesday night, and was buried from Bonney-Watson's Thursday. Mr. Graham and wife came to this city only a short time ago from Sacramento, Cal. Mrs. Payne has bought a beautiful home on 29th Ave. near Madison St., and with her sister, Mrs. Dunn, has moved into it. Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Harris, of St. Paul, are among the late arrivals in our city. They will make this their home. Sunday, April 5th, will be young men's day at the Forum, and they are preparing some great stunts for the occasion. Mt. Rainier Lodge No. 3512 held its quarterly election last week and elected the following members to office: P. N. F., John Davis; N. F., J. P. Bennett; P. N. G., W. Holmes; N. G., I. W. Walker; V. G., Geo. Snoddy; E. S., W. Watkins. The other officers will be appointed next meeting. Mrs. Charles Black will leave for Vancouver, B. C., tomorrow to join her husband, who has been in that city for two weeks. They will make that their home for some time. Rev. and Mrs. James N. Drake, accompanied by their little daughter, are expected in the city next Sunday, and will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Gales. Rev. Drake is coming for the purpose of establishing a Methodist Episcopal church here. Mr. Willis Burry, a well known young man of the city, dropped dead while sitting in a chair last Sunday. He had been complaining for a few days, but his ailment was considered by no means dangerous, as he was walking about taking life easy. For months he had been employed as a cook on the Great Northern running between Seattle and Vancouver and was considered by his employees as a very trustworthy man. He owned valuable real estate on Queen Anne Hill. Willis Burry was born in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and was 38 years of age. He has many relatives there. He had planned to visit them early in the spring and intimated when last seen by the writer that he would probably run down to his old home to see his folks before going back to work. Lucious Anderson has been appointed administrator for his estate and the attorneys of the Great Northern agree to probate it without cost, as does Mr. Anderson, the administrator. He was buried from the Bonney-Watson undertaking parlors last Wednesday morning. There was a house full and overflowing at the Forum last Sunday to listen to Hon. S. G. Cosgrove, and they were in no sense disappointed. Next Sunday a special program will be rendered under the auspices of the married men with Mr. J. T. Gayton as presiding officer. They will have a few splendid musical numbers and have the promise of one or two speakers for the occasion. "The Cow Puncher" opens at the Seattle Theatre next Sunday aftrenoon. It is a Western drama by Hal Reed. It is not a sensational melodrama, but a play that tells a charming story of much power and deep heart-interest; it is on the lines of either "The Virgin- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ian" or the "Squaw Man," and yet not a bit like either, any more than they are similar. The scenes are laid in the territory of Arizona, and deal mostly with the inhabitants of that section and a young society girl from the East, who is the owner of a ranch in that section, and which is the means of bringing her there. There is one thing about "The Cow Puncher" that will appeal to the audience quite as much as the play—that is the excellence of the cast of actors presenting it, and unless our astrology is out of tune, we predict big business for "The Cow Puncher." "In a shallow grave just six by three, where the coyote howls and the wind blows free, oh! bury me not on the lone prairie," is one of the songs sung in "The Cow Puncher," to be seen at the Seattle Theatre all next week, commencing Sunday afternoon, by a rough bunch of cowboys in true Western style, who make the woods ring with their rough silvery voices, carrying with each note memories of the great and boundless West. "The Cow Puncher" is full of atmosphere and local color, the characters are taken from men and women living in the very heart of that grand and picturesque state, Arizona. The plot is well defined and plausible. Hal Reid, the author, having spent his boyhood on the vast planis of which he writes. W. F. Mann, the producer, has spared neither brains or money to make this production pleasing to the eye and correct in every detail. Two carloads of scenery are carried, together with properties, light effects and wardrobe trunks. The cast is composed of the best metropolitan players, and the appearance of this charming play is anxiously awaited. NOTICE TO CREDITORS.
