Seattle Republican

State Library SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday. April 24, 1908 ```markdown ``` VOL. XIV. NO. 48 POLITICAL POT PIE A decided sentiment is pervading Republican ranks against the rotation of officers in the court house clique. The people are becoming very much fatigued after over a quarter of a century of Dan Abrahams and an almost equal period of office holding on the part of others. The sentiment seems most generally prevalent that a change in the personel of those occupying county biilets would redound to the profit of those footing the bills. One phase of the question not heretofore touched upon is that feature wherein county officials, by rotating in office, defeat the very essence of the constitution wherein it is expressly prohibited to hold over two consecutive terms in office. It can make but little difference whether Jones is auditor, treasurer, or clerk for two terms, and succeeded by the chief clerk of the office for a similar period, only to be succeeded again by the original incumbent; or whether Jones continues indefinitely in office in contravention of the constitutional limitations, in so far as the spirit and essence of the constitution is concerned, as both of the incumbants are bound to stand or fall together if they hope to perpetuate themselves in office, thus destroying the safeguard thrown about the people's money by constitutional provision. — Georgetown News-Gazette. 9 --- There is a possibility that one matter may be presented for the consideration of the state convention, and a lively tilt is to be expected. This is the matter of endorsing by resolution that provision of the primary election law relative to the pledging of lesislative candidates to the support of the candidacy for United States senator of the man who receives the endorsement of the party in the primary election. The pledging of legislative candidates is not obligatory and there has been talk that many legislative candidates would pledge themselves only to support the candidate who received the endorsement of their district instead of the one who receives the endorsement of the whole state. Some Republicans are opposed to this method of circumventing the pledge as provided for in the primary law and wish to see a resolution adopted by the state convention disapproving it. It is of course recognized that a resolution by the state convention is not binding on the candidates for the legislature, who are all elected by districts, but a resolution on the subject by the state convention would have its influence in that direction. —Contributed. --- Dr. John L. Neagle, assistant secretary of the Republican state central committee, is seriously ill and it is not expected he will be able to attend the sessions of the state convention May 14th. Some time ago Dr. Neagle was struck by a passing street car and it is said he has never been his real self since the accident. ** ** The Pie-maker wishes to correct the statement that, John H. Schively claims Seattle his home. Two years ago, Mr. Schively registered and voted in Olympia, ane since that time has claimed that his home, and in announcing his candidacy for insurance commissioner he will do so as a Thurston county man. "Saw it in the Times? Damn lie." The above axiom of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is again quoted for the information of persons, who, owing to their short acquaintance with the Times, might be mislead by its mouthings. Even its press dispatches must be taken with a grain of salt. If it reports an occurrence at some distant point, owing to its general unreliableness, you have to see it verified in the morning paper before it can be believed, and it is even worse in its political news and prognostications. The Times has lost everything and every man it has advocated since it has been owned by the Blethens. It has flipped and flopped in and out of every political party that has existed in the state and city, even flirting with the Doc Titus wing of Socialist Clan. It fought Mayor Moore for eighteen months, and then at the eleventh hour advocated his re-election. How, in the face of all this, dear reader, can you doubt the authenticity of the opening sentence hereof: "Saw it in the Times? Damn lie!" --- Speaking about the Times and the delegates to the national convention, the Piemaker is of the opinion that as a Democratic organ it is unduly exercising itself as to whom the Republicans will send to their various conventions. It endeavored to rope Will E. Humphrey into the fight and he would not stand for it, then it proposed Senator Ankeny, but Crocker was too wise for that and the Senator declined with thanks; now it is advocating Senator Piles and it claims some encouragement from him. Senator Piles is no man's fool and he will hardly permit himself to be dragged into a single-handed conflict with only a Democratic organ to support him in his contentions. Piles, like the other members of the Congressional delegation, will be effusive in his thanks, but will respectfully decline. By deception the Times is trying to saddle Senator Ankeny's senatorial campaign under the pretext of some alleged agreement, onto Senator Piles, which he is trying to sidestep and which if he does not, will mean Piles' defeat. Here is a true case of too much Democracy for Republican good --- If a year had elapsed since the late Seattle election had taken place, there might be those in the Republican party that would take the political slush the Times is having Murkey Matt mush up serious, but the fiasco it made in the municipal election, in both the nomination and the election is entirely too fresh in their minds to give anything the Times says any consideration whatever. The Times almost tore its shirt supporting William Pitt Trimble for the nomination for Mayor, which very fact cost Mr. Trimble his nomination; it went out of its way to advocate the nomination of E. L. Riber for the office of city treasurer and he was badly defeated. In fact every one it openly advocated for a nomination was hopelessly defeated. After the primaries it eat crow and supported Mayor Moore for re-election, which resulted in his defeat. Having thus been defeated in its every undertaking it is now engaged in a blood and thunder campaign for Senator Ankeny, supposedly for what there is in it for the Times, and if the past can be taken as a criterion, it will prove a mill stone around Senator Ankeny's neck, and like every one else it has advocated for public office, he will be ignominiously defeated for re-election. "Saw it in the Times? Damn lie!" PRICE TEN CENTS From time to time, the Times has misrepresented Samuel L. Lemmon, alleging that he was a Cannon man and had climbed into the the Taft band wagon for political purposes. In this the Times is as malicious a falsifier as in everything else it has published. The fact of the matter is Mr. Lemmon has family ties with the Taft family and has been talking Taft ever since his name was first mentioned in that connection. If Mr. Lemmon is sent to the national convention it will be because Charley Taft has made a personal request of the Republicans of the state, who are friendly with his brother's candidacy, to send him to Chicago as one of the delegates from Washington to the ratification meeting at Chicago. Mr. Lemmon has done splendid service for Taft, and the Republicans at Spokane would not go amiss if they named him as one of the ten delegates to the Chicago Taft ratification. --- Local option, which will be an issue in the coming campaign of this state will hardly be the paramount issue as think the Prohibition-temperance folk, but it will be an interesting issue and will receive a great deal of attention. The saloon adherents, backed by the breweries, will do all in their power to defeat the measure at the polls, believing that if it carries it will be a long step toward eventually placing the state of Washington in the anti-drink column. Both sides will endeavor to give the voters a campaign of education on the subject before it is finally passed upon. It is very generally believed that the rural districts will return an overwhelming vote for local option, while the large cities will vote just the opposite. The advocates believe, owing to the limited number of large cities in the state, the country districts will outvote them and the measure be adopted. --- Walter H. Harvey, a well known Tacoma attorney, has announced his intention of making a fight for the Republican nominator for attorney general. He served as deputy prosecuting attorney of Pierce county for two years and is considered a successful practicioner in the courts of the state. Mr. Harvey is a man in the prime of life and full vigor and ambition and just such a man as will make an interesting campaign, thus giving his opponents a merry old chase for the nomination. Pierce county now has two candidates for state honors—Capt. I. M. Howell for secretary of state and Walter M. Harvey for attorney general. The Georgetown Republican, a newspapertorial orphan which is nourishing at the maternal fount of "Polly Ticks," shies a few gentle shafts at our old friend Bartow, who recently retired from the editorship of the Gazette-News. We have no kick coming on the Republican; true it is only a campaign paper, as homeless as a dried herring in the central portion of hades. It has no place to lay its head. "One home in Natches under the hill and another here in Pike." No type, no press, no legitimate cause for existence, but yet who knows, the Republican may grow into an influential journal and be a peace, a comfort and joy to the dusky Delilahs who dabble their Trilbies in the wave rippled waters of the Duwamish.

Two-thirds of these are boys. This does not include those who attend the Children's House, the Training School, the Town Cooking School, the Short Course in Agriculture, or the Summer Night School. If these were counted, the total enrollment would be about 1,950 students, who are directly or indirectly influenced by the Institute. The school gets its students mainly from the South Atlantic States. About 75 this year, come from the different West India Islands. the largest number, 28, coming from Porto Rico, and 20 from Cuba. The school owns 2,345 acres of land. One hundred buildings are used for dwellings, dormitories, classrooms, shops, barns, etc. These, with equipment, stock in trade, live stock and personal property are valued at $963,665.19 No account is here taken of the 20,000 remaining acres of public land given by the Federal Government. This land is now valued at $200,000 The Endowment Fund at this time amounts to $1,509,184. The cost of running the school per day, last year, and it will average about the same this year, was $647. The school last year spent for buildings and improvements, $91,067.88, and will spend about the same amount for permanet improvement again this year. The current annual expense of running the school is about $200,000, of which about $100,000 is provided for by the Endowment Fund and other stated resources, leaving about $100,000 to be raised each year by the Principal through the medium of addresses, personal solicitation, etc., etc. In order to provide tor the students and teachers, the school uses in its kitchen an average of 23 barrels of flour per week; on the same basis, 180 pounds of sugar per day, or an average of 1,260 pounds per week: 350 pounds of coffee per week, or an THE NEGRO IN THE COMING CAMPAIGN (From Literary Digest) In a half dozen important Northern states between the Mississippi and Hudson rivers the balance of political power in close elections held by the colored voter, the Washington correspondents are pointing out, and there is a possibility that he may exercise his power this year. This possibility gives a very decided significance to the National Political Convention of Negroes which met in Philadelphia last week and resolved to swing the Negro vote to the Democratic party if Taft or Roosevelt is nominated. The Philadelphia News Ledger, in its news columns, says of this convention, which comprised delegates from twenty-five states: "The result of the sessions here was the formation of a national organization, the outlining of the campaign against the nomination either of Taft or Roosevelt by the Republicans, in which eight hundred stump speakers will take part, and the making of a promise to the Democratic party that the majority of the 1,000,000 Negro voters of the country will support Bryan if either Taft or Roosevelt is nominated. Representatives of the African race in twenty-five states came to assist in a bitter fight against the President and Secretary of War because of their attitude and the acts growing out of the Brownsville raid. It was a Foraker convention and he was endorsed for the presidency and hailed as the Negro's friend." One striking paragraph in the convention's resolution ran as follows: THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Alfredo average of 50 pounds of coffee per day, and about 500 pounds of rice per week; about 300 pounds of meal per week; about 21,000 pounds of dressed meat per month are used, and about 400 gallons of syrup per week. In the central heating plant and for producing power for the shops, the school has used about 4,700 tons of coal. The school lighting plant consists of, in lighting the grounds and buildings, an equivalent of 5,021 16 candle power lamps. There are 15 steam boilers on the ground, with a total of 731 horse power. Last year in the Tailor Shop 610 uniform suits and overalls were made. About the same number will be made this year. Before school closes we shall have manufactured on our brick yards 2,000,000 bricks. "Secretary Taft sees a turn for the better in our Southern disfranchisement laws. In that he is not different from Vardaman and Tillman. He has justified President Roosevelt's rash outrage in discharging our soldiers without honor and without trial. Even Tillman has not done this. President Roosevelt's act in discharging those soldiers without trial was a cruel injustice." This sentiment is shared by the Chicago Conservator (Afro-American), which declares: "We never before heard so many Negroes swear that they will vote for Bryan if Taft is nominated. And they mean it. The common Negro is aroused. He has no hopes of office and is not for sale. He would as soon be imposed upon by Vardaman and Tillman as by Roosevelt and Taft. In fact, he is willing to take some punishment in order to punish his betrayers." Another Negro organ, the Philadelpia Tribune, declares, in a long and strong editorial which is quoted with approval by the Richmond Reformer (Afro-American): "For this one time, if never before, the Negro is united against any man brought out by the administration. So greatly are they opposed to Taft that if he is nominated, he will not be elected. The Negroes will vote for any candidate in preference to Roosevelt or Taft, Vardaman and Tillman not excepted. It is a dangerous precedent to insult and treat with indignity ten million Negroes as has been done by the Roosevelt administration. How could any reasonable thinking person expect the Negroes to support Roosevelt or Mr. Taft, if nominated? Mr. Roosevelt is playing a deep Friday, April 24, 1908 The dairy herd, at present, containing 564 head of cattle, breeders, yearlings and calves. The creamery received last year, 81,743 gallons of milk and manufactured 15,184 pounds of butter, and 5,327 pounds of cheese, and supplied to the Boarding Department 15,757 gallons nf whole milk, and 33,851 gallons of separated milk. Besides the 264 cattle in the dairy herd, there are 150 in the beef herd, which supplies most of the beef for the school. The swine herd consists of 518 head of hogs, breeders and pigs. The poultry yard contains 567 fowls of all kinds. In the horse barn are 137 horses, mules and colts with an annual earning capacity of $32,047.19. The leading crops raised upon the farm last year were 5,281 bushels of sweet potatoes; 852 tons of ensilage and grazing crops consisting of oats, wheat, rye, vetch, alfalfa, peas, etc., to the value of $5,782.50. The school has at present an orchard of 13,000 peach trees; 2,924 grape vines, and about 200 fig trees. The truck garden produced last year, 90,000 pounds of greens; 4,000 bushels of white potatoes; 1,175 bushels of English potatoes; 340 bunches of lettuce; 1,000 bushels of tomatoes; 700 dozen of egg plants; 2,577 bunches of beets; 400 bushels of lima snap beans; 2,000 dozen bunches of onions; 10,000 dozen bunches of rutabagas and turnips; 2,750 dozen ears of green corn; 2,676 melons and cantaloupes. The postal receipts of the Institute Post Office last year, amounted to $4,208. The total receipts for the year, April 1, 1907 to March 31 1908, estimating March, 1908, on the basis of March, 1907, will bring the receipts for this year up to $4,345. There are only thirty places in Alabama where post offices does more business than the Tuskegee Institute Post Office. game of politics, in which he will find himself coming to grief before long. His injustice done to this battallion will not down, nor will his new zeal appease us. The Afro-American vote is against him." On the other side may be quoted, however, the New York Age, the leading organ of the colored race in this country. It says: "While some are advising the Negro voters to bolt the Republican party and support a Democrat at the coming presidential election, President Roosevelt is recognizing the Negro in a way that no president of the United States has ever done. His recent recognition of merit and fitness was the appointment of Mr. S. Laing Williams, of Chicago, as United Statet Attorney to take charge of the Bureau of Emigration for that section of the country. No president has ever appointed so many colored men to prominent Federal positions in the Northern states. No other president has had the courage to appoint Negroes to Federal positions in such cities as New York, Chicago and Boston. The Negroes of this country have no better friend in public life today than William H. Taft. Judging from all that he has done and all that he has said in their behalf and in beaalf of the dark races for whom he has acted and spoken, no man is more entitled to their gratitude than he is."

Of all the states inthe United States, Oregon is the very first to take the Cake in selecting a United States senator. New York’s good folk, made a private effort to wipe out race track gambling, but the ‘‘400’’ would not stand for it. Seattleites are said to be base ball crazy. Evidently there is a lull in real estate, which affords them ample opportunity to to take up anew craze. It is gratifying to learn that after all it is the saloon instead of the Negro that’s the white man’s burden in this country. Telegraph it to Teddy. Alaska may be anideal section for small farming as says a government expert, but it will be long time before any one will be small enough to undertake such farming. In the controversy between the P.-I. and King Dykeman as to ‘‘Whatis a city block??? We: rise to remark that, a city block is a city block—nothing more nor nothing less. It occurs to us that, those organizing the Taft Clubs in Seattle, must have been afraid the Taft men would find it out and be present at the time the ward club was organized. Seattle and King County, who have been one in heart and soul for lo, these many years, desire to be divorced. This divorce mania continues to exhibit strange streaks. Castro in defying his Uncle Sam is bid- ding for European interference in family affairs, which, when its too late to keep him from getting a licking, he will find will be not forthcoming. As to the picture of Col. William M. Ridpath eupectins in the last issue of the Orator-Outburst, one is in doubt whether to compliment the Colonel himself on his good looks or the artist. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The young man who forgod a check to get out of town, adopted a splendid method of getting out of town and taking company with him. _ If Honest John Riplinger is not continu- ing to raise bananas in the even tenor of his way, its not because George Russell’s launch is disturbing him lest he be kid- napped. Representative Humphrey’ declines to bea delegate to the Republican national conventson, and that too, before he was in- vited to be a delegate, but it is good to be prepared for any emergency. With Anna Gould mixed up with a sec- ond French degenerate, Frank Gould hold- ing up his wife as a moral leper and with Helen Gould withdrawing from charity work it begins to look as if the Gould fam- ily is morein the public eye this season than even the Atlantic fleet in the Pacific waters. If a husband has no more confidence in a wife than to imprison her during his ab- sence from her lest she deceive him, then such a man has not sufficient confidence in womanhood to associate himself with one as his wife. Ifa womanor a man gives evidence of breaking their marriage vows, then there is nothing for the innocent one to do, but to seek separation. for we con- sider this an unpardonable sin. We say seek separation despite the fact we think the divorce evil is all but wrecking the good citizenship of our common country. Jealousy is a disease and it has been com- mon to all ages, andif one cannot suffici- ently overcome it, thea it is a hundred times better separation take place. Inthe case of Clinton E. Gandy, the Tacoma man, who handcuffed his wife and chained her to the bed during his absence, he simply committed a felonious crime and should be sent to state prison for a term of years, even if he had cause to be jealous of his wife. He would have been merciful to have killed her rather than so torture her. The whipping post is humiliating, but a term in state’s prison would teach this mis- erable reprobate a more effective and last- ing lesson than a brief licking, which, ow- ing to his inhuman nature, would soon be forgotten. A legal correspondent writes: My cli- ent O’Sullivan, swore that Phil Ryan owed him $40 for work. The defendant swore he owed him ‘‘niver acint,’’ that he had paid him all he owed him. That being all the evidence, the case resolved itself into a mere matter of credibility between the parties. The Justice reserved his decision, and on the day appointed gave my client a yerdict of $20, I asked him how he got at it. And this was his explanation: ‘Ve see, wan swore one thing and the ither anither, so ye see, I gave ’em both the binifits of the doubt and split the difference —which makes it just $20 for the plaintiff. —Harper’s Monthly.

Following close upon the recent announcement that over 3,000,000 cubic yards of material were excavated last month, comes the last re- port of Col. Gorgas, Chief Sanitary Officer, and its statement of the highly satisfac- tory sanitary conditions among both the employees and the general population. tis, the past year 71,000 people came to the Isthmus and 44,000 left it, which gave an increase in the population of 27,- 000. The total populotion of the Canal Zone last year was 102,000, and during the year there was an average of 39,348 employed on the canal in one capacity and another. Of these employees, 10,709 were whites and 28,634 were Negroes. Among the white employes the death rate was 16- .71 per thousand, as against a ratein 1906 of 16.27 per thousand. Among the Ne- groes the dath rate was 33.28 per thousand, as against 49.01 per thousand in 1906, The death rate among the whole number of employes, irrespective of color, was 28- 77 per thousand in 1907, as against 41.24 per thousand in 1906; that is to say, the improved health conditions last year over those of 1906 resulted in the saving of the lives of 507 men of the laboring force. A similar improvement has occurred in the health of the total population, both em- ployees and non-employees. In 1906 the death rate was 49.10 per thousand, which represents the saving of 1,622 livesin the total population of 102,000. That the health conditions are compar- able with those which obtain in this conn- try is shown by the fact that among the 4,300 white American. employees there were, during the year, 42 deaths, 29 of which were due to disease. This gives a death rate from disease of 6.74 per thous- and, which is about the same as would oc- cur among a similar body of men in any part of the United States where health con- ditions were normal. The death rate among the’ women and children of the families of these men was, moreover, about the same as would occur among the same class of people in the United States. It is evident from these statistics that care- ful hygene and systematic sanitation have stripped the once greatly dreaded Isthmus of Panama of its terrors, and rendered it perfectly safe for residence and occupa- tion. —Scientifie American. One of our esteemed correspondents in the national capitol writes us that one of the most noted preachers of that city, preaching recently on the subject: ‘The Questioning “Lawyer, asked the question: “Why is the lawyer such a restless sleeper?’’ Answering his own question the preacher seriously reflected on ‘‘the sin that doth so uy beset,’’ the legal profession when he said: ‘‘ Because he lies on one side and then on the other.’’ There is no reason for attorneys in Se- attle sending their ioe notices out of the city to be published when they can get bet- ter service in the city. ‘THE SEATTLE RE- PUBLICAN will be pleased to have your pa- tronage and will not only give you good service, but will treat you right in the way of prices.

Attorney General Atkinson was in the Queen City last Saturday and said things to the P.-I. Dr. John L. Neagle, a well known at- torney and politician of this county and State, is seriously ill at Providence hospital. Tax Commissioner Frost, who so- journed in Seattle a few days this week on matters pertaining to his official duties, thinks Governor Mead will not only lead all the other gubernatorial aspirants, but will get the requisite 40 per cent of all the Re- publican votes cast, and will be nominated. He is of the opinion that Atkinson will be the next high man in the fight. Claude C. Ramsey, one of Seattle’s lead- ing politicians, financiers and social lights, who has spent the last six months visiting and traveling in the South, is at home again. Mr. Ramsey did yeoman service for Seattle all along the line and_especi- ally in North Carolina, where the Ramseys stand ace high among the powers that be. THE LEADING PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE (From the Chieago Record-Hereld) The Populists have had a checkered and eventful history. In 1892 they astonished the country by the vote they rolled up for Weaver. They carried several states, se- cured legislatures, and captured many con- gressional seats. Their popular following reached nearly a million. In 1896 the Populist party fused with the Democrats and sarpores Bryan. It was therefore, impossible to determine whether they had gained or lost adherents. In 1900 the Populists, with the excep- tion of a small middle-of-the-road faction, again fused withand supported Bryan. In 1904 the Hopauets acted independently, as they would have nothing to do with Parker and the supporters of the ‘conservative’ Democratic candidate. Their presidential candidate in that year was Watson, who has just again been nominated by the Pop- ulists. His vote, however, was only 117,- 000, and he was behind the Socialist candi- date, Debs. t Populist leaders say that their party will do-much better this year, in spite of the creation ofa Hearst national party, the Independent party, or of the great popular- ity of the Roosevelt policies with the Re- publicans and of Bryan’s ideas with the Democrats of the West. They deny that recent political developments have had an adverse effect on ‘third-party’ movements. As to the Populist platform, the princi- al planks are those which advocate ‘green- ecient? government ownership of rail- roads, the initiative and referendum, public work for Mamepora. and legislation de- priving the Fedral courts of the power of annulling acts of congress approved by the Executive. The last named plank is the conspicuous novelty of the Populist plat- form, which otherwise does not diverge ey from the eclectic Independence plat- ‘orm. Call up Main 305 for Legal Work.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN “HUMOR OF THELAW (From Central Law Journal) A St. Louis attorney reports that a cli- ent from Denver, in objecting to a $10 fee as being too high, said that in Denver fees were very, ety moderate. In fact that $25 there would pay for a divorce, the lawyer paying all expenses out of that sum, and if you did’nt have any ground for a di- vorce, he would also furnish the grounds. “What was the cause of this rumpus?”’ asked the judge. R. A. BALUNGER Who may be a Delegate-at-Large to the National Convention. “Well, you see, judge,’’ replied the po- licemen, ‘‘this man here and that woman there are married—’’ “Yes, yes, I know. But what other cause ?’’ Magistrate (to prisoner) —What is your occupation? Prisoner—I am a locksmith, your wor- ship. Magistrate—And how came you to be found in a gambling house? What were you doing when the police arrived? Prisoner—Making a bolt for the door. Ina western town H. was defending a physician in a suit brought by a Negro who wanted damages, his wife having died af- ter an operation. When it came his turn to cross-examine the plaintiff, he asked: ‘‘Mr. Wilson, how old was your wife when she died?’’ “About forty-five, sir.’’ “Been in feeble health for a long time, had she not, Mr. Wilson, and cost you a great deal for help and medicine?’”’ “Yes, sir.” “You have married again, have you not?” Republican Delegates In all, 542 delegates have now been chosen to the national convention, repre- senting 27 states one territory and three insular possessions. Of this total 267 have been instructed for Secretary Taft, 68 are uninstructed and 207 are instructed for other candidates as follows: 44 in Illinois for Mr. Cannon; 30 in Indiana for Mr. Fair- banks; 44 in New York for Mr. Hughes; 64in Pennsylvania for Mr. Knox and 25 in Wesconsin for Mr. La Follette. Of the 68 uninstructed dele- gates more than one-third have publicly declared their intention of voting for Secretary Taft. Secretary Taft has 229 dele- gates instructed for him outside of Ohio, the 229 delegates repre- senting 21 states, one territory and one insular possessions. Of the 256 delegates in favor- ite sons’ states outside of Ohio, 232 have been elected, 207 of whom have been instructed for the candidates of those states, 20 are uninstructed and five have instructed for Secretary Taft— two in New Xork, two in Illinois and one in Wisconsin. The seats of 46 delegates are contested — eight in Alabama, eight in Florida, two in Mississ- ippi, six in Missouri, two in Ohio, four in Oklahoma and fourteen in Tennessee, What are you laughing at so uproariously? I heard a joke yesterday and I just now saw the point of it. For goodness sake dont’t tell it to me, I have to go to a funeral tomorrow. — Nashville American. Lieutenant Governor C. E. Coon, of Port Townsend, spent a couple of days in Seattle this week. ‘‘Timesarestill close, but I think the flurry is almost over,”’ said he. UNes< sin? “How old is your present wife?’’ “About thirty-five.’” “Is she stout and healthy, Mr. Wilson?’’ OV ed girs!” “Then, Mr. Wilson, will you please state to this jury how you were damaged in this case?”’ Mr. Wilson could make noanswer. The good and true men thought he had made rather a good thing by his bereavement. — Law Students’ Helper. : They were cross - examining in a Chicago court recently, a bookmaker who had been caught in the toils for play- ing some other game than his own. The third sub-assistant district attorney intent upon conviction, however, was doing his best, none too successfully, to shake the testimony of the defendant. “‘You’re sure of that?’’ he yelled, as the bookmaker stuck to an assertion that did not suit the case of the state. ‘*Sure, I am certain,’’ came the answer. “You remember that you are under oath?’” “I do that.”’ “And you’d swear to this statement of yours’s?”” “Swear toit? Why, Mr. Lawyer and Judge, your honor, I’d bet a hundred on it any day.”’—Spare Moments. KING COUNTY CONVENTION KING COUNTY CONVENTION KING COUNTY REPUBLICAN CALL.

Mr. and Mrs. Warren Russell and Miss Doris left Thursday morning for an extended visit east. The trip will extend to St. Paul, Chicago, Indianapolis and Cincinnati and will take two months. The committee appointed to make arrangements for the entertainment, composed of the following of the Colored sailors, are well known citizens: I. Israel Walker, chairman; Mr. Hassell H. R. Cayton, Dan Meyers, W. M. J. Wylie, S. P. DeBow, E. F. Meyer, J. F. Cragwell, C. C. Hancock, A. G. Harrison, J. W. Gray. The names of the lady members will be published later. The musical and literary entertainment, to be given by the young ladies who are members and wellwishers of the Sunday Forum, promises to be a most creditable one. We should encourage this effort of our young people in this effort and endeavor to instill in them an ambition to do even better in the near future. The entertainment will be given at the Afro-American Hall Friday evening, May 1st. The Easter program rendered by the M. E. Church Sunday School at the Afro-American Hall last Sunday was very interesting and uplifting. The special feature of the program was the select readings by Mr. J. G. Gayles and C. C. Hancock, touching upon the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church among our people in the South. Mr. Norris, president of the Forum, delivered a spirited address upon "The Supreme Moment and the Supreme Place." The music rendered by the choir was especially charming and impressive. The Sunday School is well organized with a good corps of teachers. We invite the public to attend these weekly services. The Easter program at the Sunday Forum was short, but most creditable. The papers, recitations and songs were far above the average. The chairman of the program committee in speaking of exercises said: "We could have as good a program each Sunday if we could only get our young people to realize the importance morally and intellectually by giving more time and attention to such institutions as the Forum. And I am pleased to say that the persons who were on the program Sunday never fail t ofaithfully discharge any duty assigned them at the Forum, and I am very grateful to them for the interest they take, and wish all the young people in the city would decide to do so, too." The program for last Sunday was: Song—Choir. Paper, "Easter"—Miss Pearl Adams. Paper, "Easter Sunday"—Miss Cora Oliver. RACHEL GOLDSTEIN NEXT WEEK. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Seattle Theatre.

In it Miss Bunting appears as a little Jewish emigrant coming to this country on board a ship, where she encounters various startling adventures that follow her after her arrival in New York. As the witty little Jewish maiden, Miss Bunting is certainly an ideal character and it would be little to be wondered at if the people of the Semetic race admired her more as "Rachel Goldstein" than any other character.
