STATE LIBRARY PUBLICAN SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday, May 15, 1908 --- VOL. XIV. NO. 51 POLITICAL POT PIE The fight prectpitated in the late King county Republican convention by the alleged friends of Senator Piles, which resulted in having the delegates in convention assemble going out of its way to snub former Senator John L. Wilson, was an uncalled for breach of political etiquette as well as consistency, and will be the means of again causing King county to be rent in political factions. Mr. Wilson served twelve years in one or the other branch of the United States Congress and not having been found guilty or even accused of having committed any act that would besmirch congressional toga, if for no other reason was deserving of better treatment, but he is the chief owner of the largest morning paper in the state, which is unquestionably the organ of the Republican party, and that too, entitled him to even better treatment. It is a long lane that has no turn, and the Pie-maker is inclined to think some of those fellows that have been traveling that tract on which a sign has been stuck up at every mile board that Wilson must be destroyed, will soon reach the turning point of that lane. --- Jealous almost to insanity because it has not been able to get a seat in the John L. Wilson band wagon, the editor and the alleged owner of the Georgetown Gazette-News devoted almost its entire editorial space last week to abusing Mr. Wilson, the P.-I. and THE SETATLE REPUBLICAN, which latter paper intimated a couple of weeks ago that the Gazette-News had been gobbled up by that Ankeny mysterious personage that is going about the state purchasing weekly newspapers and sending political rot to those daily papers that will take it, about the state dying to get another opportunity to send Senator Ankeny to the senate again. The following from the Georgetown Gazette-News will show the state of mind the editor and the silent stock-holder are in: "When Ex-senator John L. Wilson wants to sling a little mud which he deems beneath the dignity of the Post-Intelligencer, he repairs to the editorial sanctum of "Darkest Africa," and through a medium published by his political slaves, pollutes the public with a political lobolly composed of exageration and untruthfulness. John L. Wilson has been a "dead one" for lo, these many years." "The leather colored editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN has just discovered, through John L. Wilson, that Levi P. Ankeny has purchased the Georgetown Gazette-News. Wilson tells that REPUBLICAN man something new every time he goes down to change his political luck." "THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN knows about as much who owns the Georgetown Gazette-News as a hazel splitter hog knows about the coveted land of spirits just over the beautiful hills." "We are just plain folks' and don't feel like being called boodle mongers by any journalistic hambone polisher who clings like a crawfish to the 'swaller' tails of John L. Wilson's political coat. Not so, my ebony hued friend and neighbor, not so; the 'mysterious stranger' has, as yet, failed to appear with the Ankeny 'gunny,' bulging with yellow backed bills." Throw a stone among a lot of hungry whelps and the cur that's hit always yelps. If in all Seattle no greater number of business men could be induced to sign an Ankeny iron-clad agreement in order to secure the election of Samuel H. Piles to the United States senate than the list published by the Times last Sunday, then the Piemaker is of the opinion that the Times has told just as big a dam lie as it usually does, and that the whole thing was manufactured in the Times office by Murky Matt, Dr. J. J. Smith and a few others with that bewitching face of George Stevenson overlooking the whole. Not on an average of one in one hundred of the business men seem to have signed it, and yet the one hundred who did not sign it according to the Times, must be bound by the acts of the ONE, which will hardly be done, and Ankeny will lose King county. If the circulars sent out by the Ankeny howlers is a fac similie of the much talked of iron clad agreement, which made King county morally obliged to support Levi Ankeny on account of the assistance he, Ankeny, rendered King county in electing Piles, then one can readily understand why it has not been given publicity long ere this—it was too silly to be put in print. All of that tommy rot was dug up at this time by the owners of the Times for no other reason than to forestall Senator Ankeny's threat to start a paper of his own in Seattle, which meant the loss of a good many dollars to the Times. Not suspecting any such a move on the part of Ankeny the Times had ceased to be active in his re-election interest, but when the Ankeny daily newspaper talk became current, Colonel Blethen was off for Washington in a jiffy, and then followed the political slush the public has been served for the past week or more. The Blethens are great money getters, but the Georgetown Gazette-News seems to be troubled with the same disease, and so far as Blethen and Carle are concerned its now "hoss'n hoss." --- From the amount of squirming the Georgetown Gazette-News did in its last issue, the truth must hurt. Of course W. A. Carle does not own a dollar's worth of stock in the Gazette-News because that paper has the contract for doing the city printing at a fabulous figure and Mr. Carle is a member of the city council, and it is against the law for a member of a city council to let a contract to himself, hence Carle ceases to be an active stockholder and is now only a silent one. If Ankeny money has not been used to grease the wheels of the Gazette-News as well as its silent stockholder, the Hon. W. H. Carle, and if the alleged owner of the paper is not a myth then THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is badly mistaken and it does not believe it is. ** There is no doubt but what the PilesAnkeny sympathizers could have controlled the late county convention even to the exclusion of Hi Gill as chairman thereof, but if they had have done so it would have precipitated a fight that would have given the public some idea just how strong the opposition is and they did not care to have that shown up. The convention demonstrated beyond a shadow of doubt that W. L. Jones will beat Senator Ankeny in King county by an overwhelming vote, even with Senator Piles taking the stump for him. In the United States senate the voters and taxpayers of this state do not want as their representative a boose beater and a penny pounder, and adventurers in dead men's shoes are likewise persona non grati. PRICE TEN CENTS Prohibition on Trial in Michigan Saginaw (Michigan) News Prohibition on an extensive scale is on trial in Michigan for the first time in its history. Ten counties have through the local option act barrred out saloons entirely. In other cities and counties, the number has been considerably reduced under a variety of circumstances. In every portion of the state more stringent enforcement of the liquor laws is being imposed. In several instances this regulation has driven out of business many saloons, usually of the least desirable class. The solution of the liquor problem is therefore proceeding along two lines in Michigan at present. There is the totally "dry" territory, which covers ten counties, and in which the saloon is completely banished, and there is a much larger territory where the saloon has been placed under regulation of more or less thoroughness, according to the prevailing sentiment and customs of the people. In the balance of the state, which is larger than either the "dry" or regulated territory, little or nothing has been done toward the suppression of the liquor business; conditions remain as they have existed for many years. The major portion of the state, consequently, occupies the position of an unprejudiced spectator, watching con-current experiments dealing with the drink problem along two widely divergent lines. The prohibitionists are wholly dissatisfied with strict regulation. They look upon it as compromising with the enemy. Nothing short of total abolition of the saloon will satisfey them. The "regulationists" do not believe it is practical to annihilate the saloon in one fell swoop. They contend that statutes of this character are evaded and that secret traffic in liquor which is carried on only tends to bring the law into disrepute and to aggravate the drink evil in its worse forms. In addition to the alleged impracticability of absolute prohibition, it is also claimed that business is injured and that the loss of revenue from liquor licenses is a burden which few cities under present methods of raising revenue are able to shoulder. Probably neither side will ever convince the other that it is right. Prohibition has been in force in some states for many years and the people appear to be satisfied with the results. Probably the character and customs of the substantial, governing classes have much to do with the success or failure of prohibition. In Michigan the trial is experimental, and it remains to be seen what the people in those counties where the saloon has just been banished will have to say about the matter a year or two years hence. As a general proposition however, there appears to be little doubt that control of the liquor traffic through education and conservative legislation will work out the problem to better advantage than through attempts at arbitrary abolishment. "Why is she getting a divorce?" "On the grounds of misrepsentation. She says that before they were married he claimed to be well off!" "And what does he say?" "He says he was, but didn't know it."

No bird can fly backward without turning; the dragon fly however, can do this, and can outstrip the swallow. An average man living for the average period of life, may be calculated to get through about 2,000 miles of reading. The deepest hole in the world has been bored in Silesa. It has reached a depth of about 7,000 feet, and passes through eightythree beds of coal. A German technical journal has gone to the trouble of estimating that the water of the whole ocean contains in solution over 2,000,000 tons of pure silver The ivory market at Antwerp, organized only a decade ago, has become the largest one in the world-larger than the two other great markets, those of Liverpool and London. Attorney General Jackson of New York state, commenting on his experience when investigating embarrassed banks, says: "I never before met so many men who ought to be in jail." The tiny stormy petrel is a bird of immense wing power; it belongs to every sea and, although so seemingly frail it easily breasts furious storms. Petrels have been observed 2,000 miles from nearest land. Recent measurements of the vibrations of the wings of a dragon fly in the Stuttgart University show that they ranged from 10,000 to 12,000 a second. The common house fly makes 600 strokes of its wings a second while flying at its highest speed. Sawdust is turned into a transportable fuel by the simple device of being heated under high pressure steam until the resinous ingredients become sticky, when it is pressed into bricks.

One is in Mexico, one in the United States, another in India, and a fourth in Africa just below the Soudan. Productions in gold in the United States fell off $4,753,401 in 1907, as against 1906, whereas the amount of silver produced was increased by over 1,000,000 fine ounces. Alaska's gold production fell off a little more than $3,000,000, according to the report of the director of the mint. Beware of fakirs. A fool knows of his errors too late wise men see in the future. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN It's Different Now One of the possible explanations is that the American voters those of them to the manner born—have really outgrown the old style American political campaign Perhaps we do not sufficiently take into account the distance evolution has carried us since 1884—to go no further back than that. Probably the log cabin and hard cider campaign of the great-grandfathers would now be an utter impossibility. Certainly, if those old patriots who swore by Andrew Jackson or Henry Clay, as the case might be, and 'Marched in percussion an' got up hoo-raws, An' tramped thru the mud fer the good 'o the cause.' the good o the cause, could come back and look around them in the United States of 1908, it isn't the "political apathy" alone that would astonish them.—Hartford Courant. Dine and Boost this Coast Joining about the banquet board the Society of Oregon and the California state associations recently celebrated the beauties of the Pacific coast and sounded the alarm of possible wars. They demanded the retention of battleships in Pacific waters and descanted on the future greatness of the far west. John Barrett was toast master. There were speeches by Congressmen Ellis, Hawley and Cushman and California Congressmen Kahn and Englebright, Colonel Straight, Eugene and J. L. Garner. From the very beginning war was the dominant note. Preparedness for hostilities was insisted upon, the rights of the Pacific coast being set up as paramount in view of the certainty that the Pacific ocean this time would be the scene of greater development of commercial activity. The arrival of the fleet in Pacific waters was the subject of many eloquent expressions. - Dispatch from Washton. Congress Gives Relief The senate has passed the house resolutions appropriating $250,-000 for the relief of the sufferers from the tornadoes in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The resolution needs only the signature of the president to become effective. "Plenty of war in Warsaw," remarked the near-humorist.

One Year .....$2.00 Six Months .....1.00 Three Months ......60 Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Second Class Mail Matter Has the McGraw-Piper feud been buried in the Ankeny barrel? Many of the leading Republicans of the state are at Spokane this week making preparations to do the Democrats, who will meet there just four days later. The old time viciousness of the famous south district of King county showed up in all its glory at the late county convention and domineered things just as of yore. Extravagance seems to have been running riot in the handling of the public funds on Calamity Hill, and they say Agnew has had a big hand in all the coming and going. That circular sent out by the advocates of Senator Ankeny is all right so far as it goes, but where is the original document? The real business men of Seattle want to see that. When the other fellow has a barrel to distribute there is no doubt but that it will make the bitterest enemies very touching friends if that distribution is left to the two of them. Black print paper with white ink will be a rather sudden change of conditions so far as the reading public is concerned, but if the news can be gotten, one way is just as good as the other. Unless the Times gets busy and keeps busy, Senator Ankeny will start a daily paper of his own in Seattle. The Times therefore, is in the position of the drowning man, catching at straws. Alaska has not succeeded in raising a great amount of either cerals or vegetables, but she has raised more political hell to the square inch than any other community in the United States. Evidently Tom Payne is of the opinion that, Senator Piles is of the opinion that, he, Senator Piles, has some damphool friends in Seattle who are more zealous than they are sensible. If Foraker continues to stir up the Brownsville affair he will find himself out of the pales of the Republican party where he will be neither able to help himself or his Afro-American admirers. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Robbing the Great Northern train in broad daylight shows a remarkable degree of boldness on the part of the light fingered gentry. They evidently went on the old theory that. God hates a coward. Electing United States senators by popular vote is all right for those states where people vote, but in those states where only a part of the people vote it is just as well that one close corporation elect them as another. Hi Gill has set the retrenchment ball to rolling in the city and now the county commissioners propose to follow suit, but the taxpayers must foot the bills that have already been squandered by the Ankeny bunch. Whether murderer Haywood or Eugene Debs is to control the Socialist party of this country has been the all absorbing question among the representatives of the Socialist party for the past week, with the odds in favor of Haywood. Heinze got the drop on at least one of his Montana admirers, as the young attorney who went to New York to blackmail him into giving up $40,000, was caught in the very act and was arrested by the detectives. Former Governor John H. McGraw must have felt his former self when he threatened to throw a delegate out of the convention that did not agree with him. Old timers say that he made his way to fame and fortune by just such tricks. When the arresters of an alleged criminal has to spirit their prisoner away and thereby deny him the right of appealing to the courts, then the officers of the law become even worse criminals than their prisoner is accused of being. Francis J. Heney, the alleged San Francisco reformer, having most signally failed to reform those he has taken personal aversions to by the strong arm of the law, threatens to reform them with a gun. Poor Heney, he seems to be hopelessly insane. Cayton's Campaign Compendium, which has just been issued by the editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, is just the thing you need for your campaign this year, be you a Republican, Democrat or an Anything else. The price is One Dollar per copy and cheap at that. The governorship has been stolen from the acting governor by the speaker of the house of representatives down in Arkansas, thus further demonstrating that, those Jeff Davis scoundrels will steal from each other just as quickly as they will from an outsider. That Puget Sound Wood Company published in the very beginning that, it possessed the most wonderful discovery of the age, and from the way it spent the stockholders' money there is no doubt of it. Its wonderfulness, however, seems to have been confined exclusively to its money spending qualities. After sixteen years of publishing a weekly paper in Seattle, the reading public of the city know full well that THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is for the most part correct in its political prognostications, and when it said Ankeny money had captured the Georgetown Gazette-News, they knew there was truth in the report, and that's why Carle squirmed so. CURRENT COMMENT. There is nothing like meeting and getting acquainted by exchange of ideas on the part of the human family, and therefore the meeting at the White House with President Roosevelt and the various governors and men of influence in the respective states in which they reside, is a long step in the right direction. Never before in the history of the country has there been such a conference held, which accounts for the continued growth of that damnable and pernicious doctrine, State Rights. The United States is ruled and governed by a central government and every state, territory and island that go to make up the United States are completely under the laws made by Congress at the District of Columbia, and any theory advanced to the contrary is treason. But an era of good feeling and greater brotherly love among the citizens of this country should grow out of this conference on the part of the various governors and the other persons participating. Similar ones should be repeated from time to time, and in the course of human events, perhaps even the states in that part of the union known as the South, may come round to the idea that, they are bound to obey the laws of the United States, a thing they have never yet done. The civilized world has been startled beyond expectation owing to the discovery of a female fiend near Laporte, Indiana, in the person of Mrs. Gunness, who it seemed enticed men to her country home under the guise that she wanted to propose marriage to them and give them over the control of her farm, if they would put up so much cash, and while they were there she managed in some way to kill and rob them and bury or burn their bodies. Some twenty odd buried bodies have been found, and yet this is not supposed to be more than half of her victims. When discovered she murdered her three children and left the impression that she committed suicide and then set her home on fire. It is now claimed that the female body found in the burned house was not that of Mrs. Gunness, but another woman whom she murdered in order to carry out her plans to escape, and that she is now at large. The most of the woman's victims were Swedes, who answered her cunning advertisements in Scandinavian papers and were entrapped into her meshes. So many persons are money mad these days that there is no crime so brutal but that the average person will resort to it in order to get money. Money is the curse of the world at present and it seems to be growing more so. After all there is something pathetic in seeing one by force of years compelled to give up their life work. Such a person is like unto one without a country, not that the general public in any way overlooks or snubs them, but because the person so retiring goes out in the world and knows nothing to do to even occupy his or her, what had been, active mind. History has recorded no more pathetic scene along this line than that of Robley D. Evans, the late admiral of Friday, May 15, 1908 the Atlantic squadron, which on its arrival in the San Francisco harbor, his flag was hauled down from the main truck of the Connecticut, his former flag ship. Admiral Evans is to retire in August on account of the age limit, but sickness has befallen him, and he is now a perhaps hopeless invalid. If, however, he is restored to perfect health, then he will be without an occupation, and he is too old to begin any new business enterprises, hence the similarity of the man without a country. Admiral Dewey, the hero of Manila bay, has already gone up against the proposition, he not being happy and content out of the service and too old to be in the service. What we want to get publicity on is the fact that this grand stand will be located at the corner of Stewart street and Second avenue on the day of the big land parade, May 26th, with emphasis given to the fact that the reserved seat coupon tickets can be secured at the Chamber of Commerce for $1.00 per seat. The Chamber of Commerce Reception Committee has approved the plans for the grand stand prepared by Weatherwax & Devereaux, architects. Mr. A. Forrester Devereaux, of that firm, in charge of the grand stand arrangements for the Chamber of Commerce, will have charge of the construction, details, sale of tickets and the management of police, ticket takers, ushers, etc., on the day of the parade. The most elaborate preparation will provide seats for only a limited number of the many who will desire seating accommodations. It is estimated that 100,000 strangers added to the 250,000 population of Seattle will make a total of 350,000 who will see the parade in which sixteen thousand troops, sailors, soldiers, and uniformed civilians will march to the music of a hundred bands. Large space in the grand stand will necessarily be reserved for the high officers of the Navy, Army and National Guard; for the governors and their staffs, and the many visiting and local dignitaries guests of the Chamber of Commerce. This will reduce the number of seats to be placed on sale and make it imperative that reservations be secured long in advance of the day of the great parade. Society folk will be out in full force, and the brilliant array of spring costumes, added to the glitter of uniforms of the reviewing officers, and the whole set in the handsomely decorated grand stand, will form a picture less inspiring than the pageant that will pass before it. The spirit of patriotism and enthusiasm that the occasion will inspire will be displayed at its best at the point in the parade where the official reviewing stand is located. The streets will be so congested from the earliest morning hours that intending seat purchasers will find it difficult to reach the grand stand if only a block away. By special arrangement with the police department, safe escort will be insured to all grand stand ticket holders. Mr. Devereaux managed the seating arrangements for the Dedication parade of the World's Fair, St. Louis; the Knights Templars Conclave, San Francisco, 1904; the Vanderbilt Cup Race, Long Island, New York, 1906; and the Knight Templar Conclave, Saratoga Springs, New York, 1907. Every effort will be put forth to insure comfort and convenience for the guests and seat holders of the Chamber of Commerce Official Reviewing Grand Stand. Call up Main 305, for Legal Work.

(From the Central Law Journal) We heard the remark that the members of the legal profession, in some of our large cities, have learned to respect ambulance chasers. They have also been led astray by writings and teachings that have over-emphasized the importance of the "late case." In Chicago they have had "statutes," "revised statutes," and "amendments and jeofails" as wild and vicious as those in Missouri; they have had too much legislation from little, narrow-minded legislators. Lawyers of wide vision and sound training have not drafted the enactments of Illinois. Only where there is the lack of thought, and sound education, would the procedure for the Municipal Court of Chicago be acceptable. That act brought some benefits in a way of abolishing the too long endured nuisance of the old justice of the peace organization. It was a long needed act that brought relief from such a reeking nuisance. After conceding it a benefit, it seems well to say that the Chicago lawyers and judges who have held it sacred, will have to learn how their little rudimentary code will be made to accord with fundamental law by the appellate courts. This code of Chicago, for Chicago, by Chicago, fully recognized the value of a summons, also a written appearance, praecipe, instructions to bailiffs, and the manner of developing the statement of a case in a bill of particulars. From forms before us a summons has six hundred words, the written appearance is peremptory, the praecipe for a summons and instruction to the bailiff are found between the caption and the statement of the case, which is called a bill of particulars. Formerly, the bill of particulars was an accessory or an incident of detail; but in the Illinois act is given a new function, for it is made the original pleading. Under this act one looking up the title to property founded on a judgment, will also have to consider within essential documents, the praecipe, also instructions to bailiffs. But this act was not drawn from a view point, that constructive notice, estoppel of record, and collateral attack, are important parts of the law which have to be considered throughout procedure. This act is drawn from a secondary viewpoint which is, that the statement of the claim (bill of particulars) is sufficient "if only it apprise the defendant of what he must meet at the trial." Of course, this calls for the usual comparison of this clause, which is, that "the proceedings must be liberally construed in fartherance of justice between the parties." These are the usual clauses of the acts drawn by intellects who have not studied the principles of the Roman, the English and the federal, that a thing not judicially presented cannot be judicially decided. It is vain to prove what is not alleged. Every presumption is against a pleader. Of course the lawyers of Chicago know that the Municipal Court act must be construed to accord with the above principles, which are from antiquity, and will stand for eternity. In 1874 a statue, entitled: "Amendments and Jeofails" was enacted in Illinois, that adds a little to the law as a like act that was long before enacted in Missouri. If the average Chicago lawyer would rest from the search for the "late case" long enough to learn what the three maxims above set out mean, he would be greatly advanced. Understanding these maxims, he will see that codes, practice acts, statutes, and late cases cannot change them and leave anything stable and certain. The act in question would give the Chicago lawyer more trouble than his gen- 25R eral issue, which has befogged him in the past. He has not learned that pleadings are to limit issues, and to narrow proofs. Those maxims of procedure are bulwarks of protection. They will not reveal the fact that the study of procedure is a study of government. It is coming to be said that much of the legal business in some of our larger cities is done with more "facility than ability." While the decisions of Illinois show that its courts are very unsettled as to the application of fundamental law, nevertheless we are inclined to think that they will give such construction to the Chicago code as to require the same rules of procedure there as are established for other courts, for it is already being discovered by the judges of the court of appeal, that when cases are brought before them for review from the numerous courts, the records in many cases are very unsatisfactory. In a conversation which the writer had with one of Chicago's municipal judges, he seemed to be of the opinion that nothing more was required in the code states than a bill of particulars upon which to base an action. It is certain that he did not understand the ordinances of Bascom, and that the code practice is nothing more or less than the procedure of equity. That is to say, the facts must be stated in a petition which are sufficient to give a right to a remedy either in law or equity. HJM03 OF THE LAW (From Central Law Journal) An Irishman had to go law, and in consultation with his counsel, he was told that he had a good fighting chance. Paddy, who was anxious to win his case, was meditative for a moment, and then he said: "Do you think it would be any good to send the judge a pair of ducks?" "No, no; you mustn't do that," said his lawyer. "If you send him a pair of ducks he will be sure to decide the case against you." A day or so later the case was heard, and Paddy won with flying colors. In the course of the congratulations, Paddy remarked: "It was just as well I sent the judge them ducks." "What!" exclaimed the counsel. "Did you send the ducks?" "Yes," said Paddy, quite pleased with himself; "but after what you said, I sent them from the man on the other side."—Judge.
