Seattle Republican

State library E REPUB SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday, May 22, 1908 J. W. H. Seeking Republican nomination for State Land Com missioner. The most of the delegates to the late Republican convention at Spokane arrived in that city the evening of the 13th, but the steering committees had been on the ground two days prior, and when a great train load of delegates arrived, one of the members of the steering committee was overheard to say: "Everything has been settled and I think I will leave for home in the morning (meaning the day of the convention) as my work is over." The steering committee may have done better for the party than the delegates could have possibly done by battling on the floor, but nevertheless there were murmurs of disapproval and charges of ring rule and the direct primary law was given a great boost. The first political defeat King county ever met in state politics was in Spokane in 1894 when Andrew F. Burleigh was pitted against George Turner on the free silver question. After a whole day's discussion of the question the convention sustained Turner's contentions and Burleigh was whipped to a final frazzle. King county had her way at every subsequent convention, but upon returning to Spokane she again met a crushing defeat in her opposition to the local option plank. In the future King county had better try to steer state conventions clear of Spokane. One of the conspicuous opponents of the local option plank at the late Republican state convention at Spokane was the Hon. F. C. Jackson of the 47th representative district, the gentleman from King county. Mr. Jackson got serious by declaring he favored local optlon, but he could not vote for it. His eloquence fell on deaf ears except those of the King county delegation, for in ten minutes after he made his memorable speech the local option plank had been adopted by the convention by a two to one vote. The Hon. Frank C. Jackson of the 47th representative district also demurred to the resolution to make more specific the direct primary law in reference to the various Republican members of the legislature to vote for United States senator that candidate receiving the highest --- VOL. XIV. NO. 52 POLITICAL POT PIE An aggregation, convention or assemblage of persons for a fixed purpose always attracts and commands much more than a mere passing consideration as well as attention, but a political convention has them all skinned a hundred to one. Men who are not delegates will travel hundreds of miles to be present and witness the proceedings of a great political convention with no higher ambition than to get an opportunity to help do the shouting. The money spent by persons not delegates to neither the Republican nor the Democratic national convention will reach beyond the million dollar mark. No explanation can be offered for the freak, only it is so and that's all of it. --- From a local standpoint the late Republican state convention was even more of a drawing card than previous state conventions, and that too despite the fact that it had less to do than any state convention ever held in the state of Washington. The delegates and the shouters to the Republican convention spent in railroad fares, board, lodging and incidentals, at least $150,000, and that too, in the midst of a financial flurry when its as hard to find a dollar as hen's teeth. Aside from the essentials a thousand and one little things were shoved in the faces of the delegates, all of which was more or less bought. Will those men suffer from that seeming extravagance is a serious question. ** Until the present time all candidates for state and county officers were nominated by state conventions, and the state being hopelessly Republican, the conventions of that party were always great events and men fought for the honor of being a delegate to the state convention, and the steering committees of the various county delegations were on hand three or four days ahead fixing things, and under that system state bosses came and went, and one political ring warred against another with no greater idea of reform than the spoils that followed success. --- Old timers still remember the iron hand of Leigh Hunt as political boss of the state and the relentless war waged against him by George Turner, and not being able to break it down in the Republican ranks, left the party and crushed it with the hydraheaded monster known as 16 to 1. It was a crushing defeat and while some of those who helped to direct the machine still spasmodically bob up, yet it has been a hard struggle for them to keep their heads above the water. Conventions have long since ceased to be a forum for debate, but are simply assemblages to listen to the report of the ateering committees. --- Speaking about local option being made a plank in the platform it was a great surprise to the politicians from the other counties of the state to see how blind the King county delegates were when the hand writing appeared on the wall and cast 109 votes against the measure, not showing as much political sagacity as the Snohomish county delegates that voted half for and half against. The party is committed to the measure now and the next legislature is morally bound to pass such a bill, as well as the governor approve it. S. A. CALVERT ** --- PRICE TEN CENTS number of votes all over the state instead of in the representative or senatorial district in which he lived, but in not so eloquent terms as before. Evidently Mr. Jackson has a grouch on him because Senator Ankeny is on the wane politically speaking. He wants to return to the legislature and in that he also seems to be sadly up against it, and that too is worrying him. --- The average delegate did not give a tinker's dam who went to the Chicago convention just so those who did go pledged themselves for William Howard Taft for presidential nominee, but the idea that these delegates were selected before they left their homes was not at all agreeable to them. Those who attend conventions are desirous to have all questions come before the body and then and there thrashed out by their spokesmen; that was apparent from the real pleasure the delegates got out of the local option discussion which was sprung as a surprise, which carried after a heated debate. --- Hon. Lee A. Johnson, who was a member of the two past legislatures of this state, is now a prosperous farmer of Sunnyside, and is already making hay while the sun shines. He was seen on his ranch one day this week, and as he pitched big forks of hay here and there, and knocked the hay seeds out of his hair, he was asked if he intended to be a candidate for the house of representatives to the tenth legislature of this state. "Well, I hope not," he replied. Then in reply to a question as to whether he would be a candidate for the place to be vacated by the Hon. Wesley L. Jones, he replied: "That place looks good to me and I am of the opinion I will never have a better opportunity to go before the voters to ask them for such a nomination. I am inclined to think that Lee Johnson will have to be reckoned with next September by the other aspirants for the nomination to the house of representatives to congress from the third congressional district of the state of Washington." ** The first session of the Sixtieth Congress of the United States is nearing its close and its appropriation budget has been fixed at something over a billion dollars, the largest by twice over of any other Congress in the history of the country. The Tom Reed Billion Dollar Congress was on the tongues of the civilized world, and that was the work of two sessions, while the present appropriation is larger than the two presided over by Reed, which burdened the tax payers with a billion dollar expense account. It seems almost miraculous that the expense of running this government should increase so rapidly as to take such a vast sum of money as this. Reckoning the next session by this the present one, Uncle Joe will get on the outside of something like two billion dollars of Uncle Sam's dough before he retires from the speaker's chair. --- George Baker, otherwise known as the "Klickitat Coyote," with Judge Ed Whitson both of whom were in North Yakima this week where the federal court has been in session the past week. "To save me I have never been able to figure out how George got his political pull," said a bystander, "as he does not impress one of even having common sense." "He got it by keeping his mouth shut," quickly came from another who seemed to know of he spoke EDITORIAL NOTES Politics it is said, make strange bed fellows and when the Daily Times of this city goes to bed with former Governor McGraw, there is no doubt but that it does. Mayor Miller has refused to close the dives and brothels during the time the fleet will be in the harbor and while the sailors are visiting in the city, which means that, the thugs and thieves and likewise the red light denizens will reap a harvest. One of the striking points about the Seattle decorations is the saloons have the most elaborate decorations of any other class of business houses. Evidently they expect more from the visitors than any one else. Democrats of the state of Washington in convention assembled at Spokane shied at local option, but finally endorsed a half hearted bill asking that it be submitted to the voters, but its all the same as it will not get any votes any way. S. A. Calvert, formally state land commissioner of this state, has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination this year to succeed E. W. Ross, Mr. Calvert lives at Zenith, in King county, which makes five candidates from King county seeking Republican nominations for state offices. Col. C. C. Dalton, formerly deputy attorney general under W. B. Stratton, was recently given a fee by one of the judges of the superior court of King county of $10,000. It is said that the Colonel celebrated the allowance while attending the state convention in Spokane one day last week. Councilman Murphy, of Seattle, has introduced an ordinance in the council asking for an allowance of $25,000 out of the general fund for the purpose of buying teams to gather up the garbage of the city for the crematory, which is being favorably considered. It looks as though some one is about to lose an all fired big graft. Guy C. Stratton, the young man who was convicted of manslaughter on account of his automobile running over and killing a little girl, which was purely an accident, thinks its awfully hard to have to go to prison for the accident, and in this he is quite correct, but if it had been his child killed by the other fellow, he doubtless would entertain different ideas of it than what he does now. --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN R.

One Year .....$2.00 Six Months .....1.00 Three Months ......60 Entered at the Postoffice at Seattle as Second Class Mail Matter CURRENT COMMENT. Report comes from Dublin, Ireland, to the effect that, emigration to the United States from Ireland for the present year has fallen off almost a hundred per cent, the actual number leaving for America being lower than it has been for many years. Herculean efforts have been put forth by the authorities to check the great Irish stampede to America, and to accomplish that, small industries which give steady employment to both men and women at fairly lucrative wages, have been set to going all over the country. And then again many of the large land estates, on which the natives in the past could only play the part of serfs, have been cut up and turned into small farms, and the industrious Irishmen have been located on these, and already good results are beginning to show themselves and the Irishman in the future will be more content to remain in his native heaths rather than to emigrate to America, and become either a city policeman or a tin-horn politician. Chicago is to the front with Frank H. Tyler only twenty-six years of age, who has confessed that within the past few months he has issued in different places 150 worthless checks on which he has realized the neat sum of $10,000. He has gone from town to town and from city to city, and at each place assumed a different name, always putting up the leading hotel of the place and passing himself off as a commercial salesman, and before leaving induce the proprietor of the place to cash one of his worthless checks, thereby making a bluff at paying his board bill and getting a small sum of money in addition, he having run short before his remittance from the house came in. The bad check man seems to be in the height of his glory just now, and he is finding it easy sailing all over the country. Such easy picking has it become that the women of a crooked turn have started out on the same mission, and they are succeeding just as well as the men. It is rather strange that the astute business man is taken in by such schemes. He is not as astute as he thinks he is or he is over anxious to sell his wares at a handsome profit and in his attempt to do the other fellow gets done himself. The recent action of the Cosmopolitan Club of Brooklyn, where some twenty of the leading society women (white) entertained an equal number of the leading society men (colored) at a banquet and dance, has caused a world of comment pro and con. So incensed was the governor of Virginia and a few others of his ilk that they felt called upon to break into print with a lot of hogwash quite unfit for publication. Commenting on the radical statements of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the Southern hotheads, the Spokesman Review is of the opinion that they are making a mountain out of a mole hill, but concludes with, "certainly if the white women were of any social standing whatever, their actions were ill-advised." Rot! Why not the Goulds, the Vanderbilts, the Bradley-Martins and the entire membership of the New York "400" the same as the waitress or the laundry girls? The mere fact that the women were wealthy and stood in high "sawciety," if ill-advised at all, made it no more so than if they had been ordinay working girls, and in our opinion not as much, for the working women make some pretense at moral decency. But why disturb yourselves about grown up persons and their associations? If it pleases a grown up white man or woman to associate with a Negro, Indian or a Chinaman, or any other distinct class from themselves, is it not their concern? The white man of the South is always going mad over social equality with the black man of this country and yet the white man of the South is sending to the North a half million half caste children every year, who find it more convenient to be white folk than black folk, and they are perfectly right. The white man of the South, who pretends to be fighting the mixing of the black and white reces, is himself doing more to bring that about than any one else in the country, and it will be his moral depravity that will wipe every vestige of the black man out in the United States before the present century will have passed into history. The settling of the much mooted race problem in this country will be accomplished when the black man will have been completely absorbed by the white man, which is as sure to come as the country stands. There is cause for alarm in the figures of American farm tenancy, which show that the percentage of farms operated by owners is constantly decreasing. The census of 1900 is authority for the statement that over one-third of the farms are operated by tenants and that in the past twenty years the percentage has risen from 25.5 in 1880 to 35.3 in 1900. In Germany that land autocracy, aristocracy and a social system that is the outgrowth of centuries, only 12.38 of farm lands are cultivated by tenants. Yet in the free United States, the republic of opportunity, the percentage of tenant-operated farms is nearly three times as great This is in spite of the fact that land has always been in greater abundance in this country than labor or capital, and that since 1863 no fewer than 233,049,939 acres have been given away by the government in homesteads of 160 acres each. Any man who wanted to own a farm and establish a home had only to take one up. Neither has the distribution of land been confined to any one year; indeed, since 1900 more has been given away than at any previous period. Yet more than one farm in every three is worked, not by its owner, but by a tenant. The percentage of tenancy varies greatly in different sections of the country. In the South Central States, for example, it rises as high as 48.6, due in large degree, no doubt, to the Negro population. In the North Central States, of which Illinois is one, the percentage is only 26.9, sinking thence gradually through a percentage of 20.8 for the North Atlantic States to 16.6 for the Western States. Economist declare that tenancy is a step toward ownership; that the young man who purchases a farm is first renter. This theory is not borne out by facts, for the percentage of farms held by tenants does not decrease. On the contrary, it is rising constantly. Legislation will have to be had that will make it easier to own land than at present, and the establishment of a better credit system, so that money can be borrowed more readily and cheaply for the purchase of farms, is also imperative if the United States is not to follow Great Britain, where 86 per cent of the farms are operated by tenants. Chicago Journal. Word has been received by the United States Land office that the federal government proposed to extend the Wapato irrigation project over an additional 50,000 acres of land. This will embrace land lying along the Northern Pacific railway, surrounding the town of Toppenish and as far east as Fort Simcoe, and including all the land from the northern and eastern boundaries of the Yakima reservation south and west to the fort. The Wapato project when completed, will irrigate twenty townships or 120 square miles of land. This is a bigger area than the Tieton, and is declared to be better land with a more favorable climate. Yakima Herald. Revised plans and specifications for the new dry dock to be built by contract for the Navy at the Puget Sound yard have been completed by the bureau of yards and docks. The cost is to be limited to $2,000,- 000. The dock will be built of concrete with side walls and entrance faced with granite blocks. The extreme length is to be 853 feet. The department of agriculture in its summary of the May crop reports, issued last week, places the total area of winter wheat standing on May 1st to be harvested at 29,751,000 acres, which is 4.1 per cent, or 1,318,000 acres less than the area reported as sown last fall, and 5.8 per cent, or 1,610,000 acres, more than the area of winter wheat harvested last year. The average condition of the crop on May 1st, was 89 per cent of normal, as compared with 91.3 per cent on April 1st and 82.9 per cent on May 1, 1907. Owners of timber in different sections of the country are organizing associations to protect their holdings from fire by means of a system of patrol by rangers resembling the work done by the United States forest service, in guarding against and extinguishing fires. In the Pacific Northwest the new Washington Fire Association has begun work for the year with 3,000,000 acres under its care. —Exchange. "Ira P. Englehart, the well known corporation lawyer at North Yakima, is building him an $80,000 residence," says an exchange of that place. It has evidently paid Mr. Englehart big money to plead the cause of the man who always wants something for nothing and gets it. Only three states in the Union make a better showing than Washington in comparison of the number of illiterates in proportion to population. The women pay a terrible lot of importance to getting a letter, considering that nine in ten have unpleasant news in them. Call up Main 305, for Legal Work. Our prices are right. SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, 307 Epler Block. Friday. May 22. 1908 BENCH AND BAR. BENCH AND BAR. (From the Central Law Journal) It is held in Oustott v. Edell (Ill.), 83 N. E. Rep. 806, that it is the duty of an attorney to entirely sever his connection with a case immediately upon its becoming necessary to call him as a witness. The court condemns such conduct in no uncertain language, as follows: Among those who testified on the part of the appellees was an attorney at law who had been employed by them in this case, but who does not appear for them in court. He prepared the answers that were filed by appellees, and acted for them until the time when the court entered upon the trial of the case. He took no part in the trial, and on the day before he testified he withdrew as solicitor for appellees. He testified that he withdrew as counsel because he learned that it would be necessary for him to testify, and that upon conference with his associate counsel the latter took the same view that he did in reference to the necessity of his becoming a witness, and that thereupon he advised his clients that he would not testify and act as counsel on same case. It is earnestly insisted by appellants that this fact should be given great weight in determining whether or not the decree is against the manifest preponderance of the evidence in the case. Our views bearing upon the propriety of an attorney testifying in a case which he is employed are stated at length in the case Wilkinson v. People, 226 (Ill.) 135, 80 N. E Rep. 699. The course pursued by the attorney in this case would not properly subject him to criticism had the apparent necessity for his going upon the witness stand resulted from some unforeseen event that occurred in the progress of the trial; but that was not so. It must have been at once apparent to him upon examination of the bill herein that his testimony would be material. Immediately upon that fact becoming evident, it was his duty to confer with his associate and his clients and then determine whether or not he would be a witness in the case, and, if he was to testify, he should at that time have severed his connection with the litigation. If the conclusion was that he should not testify, he and his clients should have abided by that decisiou, unless some emergency thereafter arose which was not anticipated at the time it was determined that he would not be a witness, making it important for the protection of his client's interest that he should testify. His withdrawal from the case was too long delayed. The chancellor, however, knew all the circumstances surrounding this witness, and should, and no doubt did, consider them in determining the weight to be given to his testimony." The Illinois court again finds occasion to condemn the attorney who acts both in his professional capacity as attorney and as witness, in McConnell v. Brown (Ill.), 83 N. E. Rep. 854. Ross v. De Moss, 45 (Ill.) 447, 449, is another Illinois case, condemning the appearance of an attorney as a witness in the following language: "An attorney occupying the attitude of both witness and attorney for his client, subjects his testimony to criticism, if not suspicion; but where the half of a valuable farm depends upon his evidence he places himself in an unprofessional position and must not be surprised if his evidence is impaired. While the profession is an honorable one, its members should not forget that even they may so act as to lose public confidence and general respect." Thus it will be seen that the Illinois courts have severely condemned the attorney who appeared as both witness and attorney. The practice of appearing as attorney and witness is condemned in 30 Am. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN & Eng. Enc. of Law, 942, where it is said: "If, in extreme cases, where all other means of proof are impossible, he is forced to take this step, he should immediately withdraw from active participation in the case." Under any ordinary circumstances the attorney should keep off the witness stand. To hold, however, that he should immediately retire from the case in the event that uncontrollable contingencies call him to the stand, would seem extreme. In many instances this could not be done without jeopardizing the interests of the client. The practice has met the condemnation of the courts very generally, and this has served to prevent extensive abuse of one of the salutary rules of legal ethics. Mr. Wigmore (Wigmore on Ev. page 2537), after stating that the courts have almost unanimously declined to lay down a rule of prohibition, says: "The reasons are, probably, because the expected evil is one that would be caused only by an inveterate practice and not by casual instances, and because the strong recommendations of the courts have proved sufficient to prevent the use of such testimony other than in casual, unavoidable, and therefore, harmless instances. There is, then, in general, no rule, but only an urgent judicial reprobation, forbidding counsel or attorney to testify in favor of his client." HOME GOING ALIENS The energetic, hard working foreigner who comes to this country with a few dollars saved, and who practices the same thrift and self denial that were a necessity in the old country, has had ample opportunity during the many years of good times in this country to provide against a brief period of hard times without being obliged to leave the country. So it is hardly probable that we have lost very many of the better class of foreign laborers. But we have apparently lost several thousand of the undesirables, who can well be spared, and who should not be permitted to return. Fully nine-tenths of the anarchists and professional jaw-smiths of the country are unable to speak the English language without an unmistakably strong foreign accent. This country would be a distinct gainer if all of this class could be sent back to the country from which they came. As the present immigration laws are much more stringent than those under which some of these anarchists and trouble makers came in, it will be a more difficult matter for some of this class of alien labor to secure entranae should they attempt it with the return of better times. The decision of the Pennsylvania railroad and a number of large industrial enterprises in the East to employ none but American citizens will also have a tendency to cause some of this army of temporary Americans to stay on the other side of the Atlantic. The present immigration, while small in comparison with that which is departing, is said to be of a much higher grade. News of the depressed industrial conditions in the eastern part of the United States has penetrated the most remote portions of the Old World, and in consequence the aliens now coming are prepared for something more than a siege against the hard times, and can remain there until there is a change. Most of them are bound for the West, where there are still plenty of opportunities, especially for the man with a small amount of money with which to engage in farming, logging or mining, the opportunities in these lines for the comparatively poor man being fully as good as they have ever been. 5 The United States is not much loser by departure of the aliens who are now crowding to capacity the steerage of the transAtlantic liners, but the season is just setting in for the crowd of Americans who will fill the first and second cabins of the steamers. This crowd will spend on an average per capita about five times as much as the average amount taken out of the country by the aliens in the steerage, and after rehabilitating the fortunes of half the decadent cities of Europe, they come back to this country and make a fresh haul, to be spent abroad the following year. It might be well for this country if many of this class of the foreign bounders would conclude to remain across the water, providing that they disposed of their interests in this country to some good American citizen who would stay at home and attend to them. - Oregonian. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS Walter J. Reed, state senator from Yakima, is still in poor health, but is rapidly on the mend, when seen at his palatial home in North Yakima said: "Yes. I have been a very sick man, but I am feeling better now than I have felt before since last fall and I think it is only a matter of a very short time now before I will be quite my former self." Mr. Reed is one of the best known men of the state and his host of friends hope him a speedy recovery. Hon. Richard A. Ballinger, of Seattle, has been elected chairman of the delegation to the National Republican convention at Chicago and it is more than probable that he will be made national committeeman from this state. For the past three years Judge Ballinger has played in a string of unprecedented good luck, and if he continues to forge to the front, Senator Piles had better look to his laurels or Ballinger will have "just growed" into his seat in the senate. Jack Splawn, the Yakima Democratic gubernatorial candidate, was taken violently ill a couple of days before the assembling of the Democratic state convention at Spokane, and a Republican paper was so unkind as to say that, it made him deathly sick to think of having to face the local option fight in the Democratic convention. However that may be, Mr. Splawn is very popular in Yakima county where he resides and will get a big vote there. Judge Carroll B. Graves, who for four years was Superior Court judge of Kittitas and Yakima counties, was visiting his old haunts the first of the week where he still has many clients, who always insist that he come over from Seattle and look after their legal matters. He is now a member of the law firm of Graves, Palmer & Murphy, one of the strongest and most successful law firms in Seattle. Judge Graves had business in the federal court in North Yakima. Representative Ed Dixon, of Ellensburg, is in the city looking after A. Y. P. matters. "There is no longer any doubt as to the success of the exposition as the Seattle banks have agreed to take care of it financially," said he. While the work was being pushed along nevertheless there was considerable worry on the part of the commissioners to figure out how to meet the bills. But everything looks green and refreshing and the Northwest is going to have a great show next year. Hon. W. A. Halteman, of Ferry county, who is a member of the A. Y. P. commission, is in the city and will be here for quite a few days looking after the interest of the state. Mr. Halteman was a delegate to the late state Republican convention, and it was intimated over there by those who ought to know, that he will be sent to the senate next November instead of the house of representatives.

The Baby Show, held at the AfroAmerican hall in connection with the entertainment given by the Dorcas Charity Club, was quite a success. There were a surprisingly large number of babies found by the committee when they began hunting them up. And many mothers promised to take part in the show, but the weather was bad and only one dozen babies were on the platform at the time their picture was made. There was, however, a lovely spirit manifested throughout the evening, and that in connection with other things fathers the thought that the entertainment was a success in more ways than one. There was exhibited at this entertainment five sofa pillows. Mrs. B. F. Tutt had a pillow on exhibition which was made up of the signatures of some of the most influential men and women of the race written on velum script. This pillow brought in between $19 and $20, and was drawn by Mrs. J. T. Gayton. Mrs. Pete DeBow had a burnt leather elk's head sofa pillow on exhibition, which brought in between $19 and $20, and was won by Mr. A. Frazier. Mrs. R. T. Taylor donated to the club a beautiful cigar ribbon sofa pillow. This pillow brought in about $6 and was won by a young man. Mrs. A. Frazier donated a pillow as a prize for the one guessing the number of lemon seeds in a bottle. This was won by Mrs. Frank Smith. There was also a beautiful pillow donated by Miss Bell Bowlan. This one was valued at $6, but as that amount was not bid on it, the management thought best to hold back this pillow until some other entertainment. A splendid picture of the Dorcas club baby was presented to the mother of each baby who took part in the baby show. The club baby has improved beyond the highest expectations and will doubtless soon be creeping all around just like any really well baby. SUNDAY FORUM. There will be a regular memorial service at the Forum on next Sunday. The sailors of the fleet have been invited to attend and get acquainted with the members at this meeting. On Monday evening the members of the Forum and a number of our fellow citizens will hold a public reception at the hall at 2613 East Madison to assist in the entertainment of the sailors of the visiting fleet. Every one is invited to come out and extend their greeting to the visitors. The program for Sunday will begin at 4 o'clock and will be as follows: Song—"My Country 'Tis of Thee." Prayer—Chaplain Gray. Welcome to fleet—President I. F. Norris. Memorial Day—Rev. J. N. Wallace. Song—Choir. Recitation—Miss Katura Bennett. Soldiers of Revolution—J. W. Gray. Song—Junior Choir. Soldiers of Rebellion—W. M. J. Wylie and others. Our Heroic Women—Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton. Instrumental Solo—Miss Cora Gibson. Soldiers of Spanish-American War—C. C. Hancock. Solo—Miss Eva Ford. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The much talked of Atlantic fleet will drop anchor in our harbor tomorrow. No event of recent times is of so much importance as the visit of this array of our fighting men. We are confident that there will be few men in this city whose hearts will not swell with pride when they cast their eyes over the fleet as it rides at anchor. Emma Goldman may rage in her effort to spread anarchy, Titus may howl on each street corner in the city in his attempt to spread Socialism, but patriotism and love of our institutions still flourishes in the breast of every native born citizen. And although it is a fact that our race is unjustly treated often by the officers, discriminated against by the law-making bodies, villified by the newspapers and oftimes unjustly imprisoned by the courts, yet there are no Negro anarchists or Socialists and no race more loyal than they are. Therefore there are no citizens of our city who extend a more sincere and genuine welcome to the visiting fleet than do the Negro population of this city. We welcome them as messengers of peace and forerunners of prosperity and means of a better feeling and understanding among the races of the world. CHARITY MEETING. The monthly meeting of the Dorcas Charity Club will be held on next Monday evening at the Afro-American hall, 8:30 p. m. Owing to the fact that the Sunday Forum is to entertain the sailors on that evening the Charity Club has given up the use of the large room for that date and will hold its meeting in the smaller room down stairs. These meetings are open to all who would like to come and "just listen" so as to get some idea as to the workings of the organization. Mrs. Sam Brown is quite ill at her home on Jackson street between Twelfth and Fourteenth Avenues.
