Seattle Republican

State library SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday, June 12, 1908 VOL. XV. NO.3 POLITICAL POT PIE W. P. Bell, the well known Everett attorney, spent last Monday in the city doing business in the Federal court, but found time to talk a little politics while lunching. "The entering of Mr. Tanner into the race for attorney general puts that nomination in the first and second choice class, which makes it harder for one to win the fight than when it was in the highest vote the winner class. But be that as it will or may I do not believe its in the books for me to lose." * * * "I am not wholly satisfied with the direct primary law," said L. Davis, the well known Lincoln county politician, "for an example in county nominations the one getting the highest number of votes is declared the party nominee when perhaps such nominee may not have gotten more than 20 per cent of the vote cast. The old idea of the majority ruling has been blotted off the map and now the minority clearly rules. Even in Seattle's latest city election Mayor Miller did not receive but 26 per cent of the Republican vote cast and yet he was declared the nominee for mayor and of course was elected. To my mind that is not fair. It occurs to me that, the direct primary law is lame in another instance; unless a voter votes for two candidates his votes is not counted. And I consider that is disfranchising a man and I am unalterably opposed to any form of disfranchisement. The 40 per cent of all the Republican votes cast for the nominee is a good feature, but I very much dislike that clause making it obligatory on the part of the voter to vote for two persons for the same office." ** ** Senator Piles may decide not to support Henry McBride for governor on the grounds that his success would be inimical to his (Piles) success, "but I cannot see it that way," said Col. C. C. Dalton one day this week, "and I feel very safe in saying that, he will hardly do so. If the majority of the people feel inclined to vote for a man for governor or for any thing else they should not be intimidated in not doing so lest some one else's chances for a higher position be jeopardized. The voters clamored for the direct primary law, they have it, now let them exercise their rights in nominating whatever man they may see fit. If no political pressure is brought to bear on the voters of the King county, in other words, if the big stick is not used, I feel safe in saying, Henry McBride will carry King county by a tremendous plurality and even if a big stick is used, then I believe he will carry the county." * * * It is being hinted in political circles that the Stevenson-Ankeny bunch started in to make a cat's paw out of John D. Atkinson, but ran up against a snag before they had been in the making business very long. "I am no man's man," Mr. Atkinson is reported as having hurled at Stevenson when he attempted to switch him from the gubernatorial race into the lieutenant governorship fight. John D. Atkinson has been twice elected to high positions in the state and he is not the man that can be switched around by such fixers as Stevenson. In commenting upon the affair a well known politician was heard fo say, "Mr. Atkinson was exactly right. Had he permitted Stevenson to have swung him into the race for lieutenant governor then it would have been a matter of a very short time before Stevenson would have wanted him to swing into some other place, and finally for the sake of harmony, completely out of the race for anything. I admire a man that will let it be understood that he is no man's man in politics, business or otherwise. I do not know what show Atkinson has for being nominated for governor, but when the public understands that he refused to be tempted by a fixer he will go down to defeat with a thousand times more glory as well as closer to the hearts of the voters than if he had been elected again at the hands of a fixer. *** If the press of the state has any influence whatever on the voters it is very evident that Wesley L. Jones will get three to one votes in the coming primary election over Levi Ankeny. Its the rare exception to find a newspaper in the state that is openly supporting Mr. Aneny for re-election. Even those papers that Horace McClure has bought and directed them to openly advocate the cauae of Senator Ankeny do so with apologies because they know that every body else knows that they have been seen by some one that is around seeing newspapers at this particular time. Outside of the Union of Walla Walla, will some one interested in the election of Senator Ankeny plnase say what Republican daily papers are out for Ankeny? It is an undeniable fact that, the number of weekly papers that are out for Ankeny throughout the entire state can be counted on the fingers of one's two hands. It is therefore repeated that, if the press reflects the sentiment of its readers, then Ankeny has no more show of succeeding himself than a snowball has of flying through hades. --- "Let the heathen rage, but keep your eye on Cosgrove," came from a well known Seattle attorney one day this week. "I believe that Cosgrove will get as many first choice votes for governor in King county as any of the other candidates running for that nomination. The men thats out for him are not preaching it from the house tops, but are going about their work quietly, and permit me to add, effectively, and as a result the Cosgrove sentiment is growing in King county every day. He may not be nominated as a first choice man, and in my opinion no one will, as none will get the required forty per cent vote of all the Republican votes cast, but he will sweep in on the second choice vote by aa overwhelming majority." --- The first to announce his intention to make fight for the Republican nomination for sheriff for King county was Charley Phillips, who made known that fact to the Post-Intelligencer one day this week and now he is rustling every day to make good. No man in local political circles is better known than he, and his friends are predicting success for him in spite of the fact that he will have some very strong opponents. It will be remembered that the Pie-maker announced last week that the politicians seem to be waiting for the return of Senator Piles before announcing their candidacies, but Mr. Phillips has taken the initiative and announces himself regardless of what Senator Piles may think, say or do as to his candidacy. --- The Pie-maker is still of the opinion that there should be a clean sweep at the court house, and he further believes that PRICE TEN CENTS before the day of the primaries the voters will be of a like opinion, because it begins took as if an extravagance has been indulged in by the county authorities that when fully exposed will be something astounding. It is claimed by those who have had the county affairs carefully looked into that the natives will be almost struck dumb when the expenditures of the county be brought to light. Its been this, "I go to Jack's shop and Jack goes to mine," up there so long that a close corporation has been formed by the office holders and they have had every opportunity to cover up anything that they might want covered up, if by so doing it would perpetuate each other in office. Let the tax payers rise in their might and clean out the gang that the books may be thoroughly overhaled. So far as the taxpayers know another Riplinger scandal may be hid away in the vaults of the county court house and whether there is or is not, a sufficient amount of distrust has been created to demand a thorough overhauling of the books by new hands. ** The bar primaries which will be pulled off Saturday, June 20th, is causing a great deal of excitement among the attorneys of the county and is being watched with more or less interest by the citizens in general. While THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is of the opinion that if the lawyers of the county succeed in naming a ticket at that time for the bench, and if such ticket is supported by the people at the direct primary election a precedent will have been set, which if followed up, will remove the election of the judiciary out of the hands of the people, which, to say the least, would be a long step in the wrong direction. The direct primary law has eliminated the boss politicians and placed all nominations in the hands of the people and not one word, syllable or punctuation of that law should the people permit to be set aside or overthrown. But to return to the bar primaries, which, as said above, will be pulled off Saturday, June 20th, much speculation is being indulged in as to the ones of the twenty-five attorneys who will get the six nominations that are to be made and how many of the defeated aspirants will appeal from the decisions of the bar primaries and go before the people as the law directs they must. --- There are many worthy citizens who would like to get into the fight for one or the other county nominations, but they know they have no show, owing to the fact that, the court house ring is working to keep any one else out and the chiefs and their deputies put in a great deal more time boosting for the nomination of the ring candidates than they do working for the county, hence the outsider who is attending to his business has not much show and he simply passes it up and says to himself and to his friends, "these jobs are for the politicians." It is almost time to have your county expense account gone over Mr. Taxpayer. --- Orville A. Tucker who had thought of getting into the fight for prosecuting attorney, has about decided to not enter that fight, but to go into the fight for the nomination for county commissioner from the third commissioner's district.

Clark, twice elected to the legislature from King county, mourns the death of a devoted wife, Besides the hus- band she leaves two girls, aged respective- ly, 15 and 17, anda grown son to mourn her loss. She was buried last Wednesday on Vashon Island. Emmett H. Holmes, of Spokane, was a Seattle visitor while. the fleet was in port and became so enthused over Seattle’s way of doing things that he contributed a col- umn article to one of his home papers on the Seattle spirit. : Pete Smith was in town the other day and a friend suggested that, Pete have the word defeat written across the back of his coat, but to this he remonstrated and sug- gested the words, ‘‘A Dead One.”’ M. E. Hay, one of the candidates for the Republican nomination of lieutenant governor, is sojourning in the East just now, but is expected home in the very near future when he will begin an active cam- paign for the nomination. The Pioneers of 1850 and 1873 to this section held their annual reunion last Tues- day and the attendance was better than usual. Thomas Prosch was elected for the ensuing year, T. H. Cann retiring. Both the weather and the politics in around Chicago are at fever heat just now and the Washingtan delegation is hurrying to the scene of the contest hoping to be able to to get into the thickest of the fight. Wilson R. Gay, one of the candidates for the nomination of superior court judge of King county, is one of the most gener- ally popular attorneys of the city. Yakima Jones has returned from Wash- ington City and is reported as having said, “T have no fearsof the outcome of the pri- mary election in September. I am sure of carrying the primary election.’’ Hon. Will E. Humphrey, representative in congress from the first congressional dis- trict of this state, returned to Seattle last Tuesday evening. Mrs. Humphrey accom- panied him. He Had Cold Feet An aged Negro migrated from Florida and settled in Boston. The old fellow hadn’t dwelt long in that atmosphere of cold reason and east winds before a mortal chill as- sailed, body and spirit. Winter came on. He got colderand colder. ‘First he couldn’t eat. Then he couldn’t talk. Then he couldn’t walk. Finally he lay stark and cold and dead. 0 The family prepared for the burial of his remains. When he first reached Bos- ton he had passed a crematory one day and had been enchanted with it. It appealed very warmly tohim. He requested his rel- atives to see that his remains were cre- mated when he should come to die. So they carried his body off to the cre- matory and handed it over to the persons in charge. At the end of two hours they were invited to return and secure the ashes. At that time, therefore, in the presence of assembled friends, the door of the furnace was opened, whereupon a pane voice from within called out irrita- ly: “Shut that do’! I feels a draf’ on my feet!’’—Exchange. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN WHY THE NEGRO AMERICAN DOES NOT VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET From time to time some white voter, presumably of the Democratic persuasion, asks us why the educated and _ intelligent Negro voter does not divide his vote be- tween the various political parties that af- flict the American foe politic? The white voter who asks such a ques- tion is usually a man of some intelligence himself, and more or less liberal than most of his political conferees on the subject of the Negro suffrage. The question is 4 nat- ural one, in view of the fact that for forty years the American Negro has uniformly voted the Republican ticket in most cases without hope of favor or reward, and still clings to that party at a time when many white Republicans of the nation, especially in the South, would be glad if there were less Negroes in the Republican party. aa eh. tes | Cael ier ' 7 eS ates eee Be Sah eck sical, jae iS : 4 : ey ‘ o Gustave B, Aldrich, Editor Sunday (Tacoma) E: ho: __, The Negro Americans areas yet a prim- itive people and somewhat childlike in many respects, which is to their credit, rather, as it implies innocence, and are largely governed by, feelings and emotions.

In this they are not alone, for they themselves complain that whites are not susceptible to reason when a question of color prejudice is involved. Now, in the American Negro mind, the Democratic party is, and has always been, anything else but democratic. To the masses of the Negroes, men and» women alike, this party stands for tyranny, usur- pation, aristocracy, casts, chains, slavery and degradation. Historically, their idea is correct. The very heart of the Demo- cratic paty is the fundamental supremacy of the white man, regardless of his merit. All legislation in the United States wherein the American Negro is involved, shows the marks of these charges which Negroes have and make against the Demo- cratic party, by its unqualified opposition to eee which would’ mark an adhe- sion to the principles of American liberty. At no time since the war has the Demo- cratic party sought the, Negro vote asa party, at no time have the leaders of that party, either North or South, shown a dis- position to abandon their traditional policy of hostility to Negro advancement. While at the’ masthead the Democratic ship of state bears the motto ‘‘Equal rights to all, special privileges to none,’’ the American Negro is well aware that the practice of the Democratic party is just the opposite. The Negro knows full well that there are men in the Republican party who hold pre- cisely the same ideas as most Democrats on this question, but the distinction is that such menin the Republican party are small fry, in the Democratic party they are the leaders. And the Negro is quick to ob- serve also that the American people, in their sober moments, when not swayed by racial feelings, are willing to concede, in theory, at least, all that the Negro, act- ually claims. That the American people do not permit the Democratic party to direct the destinies of this nation, nor of any states fer any length of time, except in the caste ridden states of the South, and he is thus fortified . in his prejudice against the Democratic party. He also notices that whenever the Democratic party produces a really great leader, he is always broad minded enough to concede American rights to the Negro; toexample, witness the attitude of Hon. Grover Cleveland as governor of New York and as president of the United States, as well as in his private life as a citizen, but that such men are exceptions in the Demo- cratic party as acitizen, but that such men are exceptions in the Democratic party and so much so that they approximate more nearly the Republican type than otherwise, in respect to the particular question involv- ed in American Negro suffrage. The aim of the Democratic policy seems to be the immediate advantage of the white race over all others, while proclaiming the equal- ity of the individual; the aim of any true Democratic party is the ultimate advantage of the human race, both as individuals and asasociety. This last ideal is the very foundation stone of American liberty and without its adoption as a working. basis of Americnn politics, the success of the American experiment in self government must remain very largely problematical. Many intelligent Negro Americans de- sire that party lines be not synonymous with race lines, as they realize the immense power such an alignment gives the en- emies of the race, and that it is not in their Friday. June 12. 1908 BENCH AND BAR EXCLUSION OF SAILOR FFROM DANCE HALL. President Roosevelt will probably not be overmuch pleased with the decision of the Rhode Island Supreme Court in Buengle v. Newport Amusement Assoc., 68 Atl. Rep. 921, where it is held that the proprietor of a place of amusement is not liable in damages for mental suffering caused by his refusing admission to a sailor in the United States navy on the sole ground that he is in uniform. The plaintiff, having heard that uniformed sailors were not admitted, went to the defendant's dance hall while in citizen's attire and purchased a ticket. Subsequently he returned in uniform, presented his ticket, and was denied admission. He brought an action for breach of contract, seeking damages for humiliation and mental suffering. The court holds that any humiliation suffered by the plaintiff was occasioned by his own acts, and that the damages recoverable for breach of contract must be limited to actual pecuniary loss. The court said in part: "We cannot believe that the mere exclusion of uniformed men from public entertainments ought to be regarded as a stigma placed upon either the uniform or the wearer, or as intended to have any such effect. If, however, such discrimination is deemed to be a matter of grave public consequence, it rests with the lawmaking power to afford a proper remedy by statutes, such as have been passed by the congress, and also by this and other states, relating to the national flag, or by the states in reference to public entertainments, forbidden discrimination on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, and by some states as to exclusion from public entertainment for other cause." JUDGES' SALARIES—There is no public officer whose compensation seems to call for such frequent readjustment as the judge. The office is always desirable as one of exalted dignity, but it seems to be a constantly recurring condition that the lawyers that are the best qualified for the office refuse to accept it, and this happens more frequently in those states where the salaries are highest. The reason, of course, is that in order to attract the proper element of the bar the pay of judicial office must correspond in some measure to the average professional earnings of the class of lawyers from which the judges are ordinarily chosen, and as this differs in different communities, the judges' pay in one state furnishes no criterion for what they should receive in another state. Thus in some states, for instance in North Carolina, $3,000 a year is regarded as a sufficient salary for the judges of the supreme court, while in Maryland it is considered that the judges should receive $6,000 instead of $4,500 as heretofore, and in Massachusetts that they should have $9,500 instead of $8,000, the present salary. Another element of the necessity for higher pay is probably the limited term of office. In the United States courts the pay of the judges has always been moderate as compared with that of the state judges, but there has never been any difficulty in obtaining the very best talent. The ability of the federal judiciary is proverbial, and the reason is that a judgeship in that system is a life office with a pension after a certain age. Competent judges cannot be obtained without adequate compensation, and experience seems to demonstrate that the federal plan is the best—a life office with a reasonable salary and a pension retirement after a certain age.—New York Law Notes. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Five of the six judges that now preside over our superior court are asking for a renomination and have filed their declaration to that effect with the bar primary officers. All of them have made good judges and have their advocates among the attorneys. Some one has said that one or two attorneys were mildly opposing the endorsement of Judge Boyd J. Tallman, this however could not be verified, but in case such is being done, then it would seem that the judges that stand the strongest with the people are the one or ones that the attorneys are opposing. By referring to the election returns it will be seen that Boyd J. Tallman, who has been twice elected judge of King county has grown stronger with the voters every time he run for the judgeship. In 1900 he was elected by only 680 plurality while in 1904 he was re-elected by over 11,500 majority and running ahead of the entire ticket. If the bar association and the attorneys of the county take it into their heads to turn a man down like Judge Tallman, then it occurs to the writer, that, the people will rise up in their might against the method and nominate and elect him in September. But Judge Tallman does not believe that any effort to defeat his selection by the bar will be made as no one seems to know anything definitely about it. "The judge that dispatches business in the superior court of this county," said a prominent attorney one day this week, "is A. W. Frater. He may not be as profound a judicial as some of the others, but he does the business and that counts in a busy town like this. And I am not too sure, but that Judge Frater is just as sound judicially as most of the other judges of the local bench, for it may be seen by examining the records that he has been reversed by the supreme court a fewer number of times than any other judge in the county. It is rather remarkable that the man, whom the majority of the attorneys of the city say is the best judicial mind of the number, has been reversed by the supreme court a hundred per cent more often than Judge Frater. An article in a recent number of the American Law Review is pessimistic concerning trials by jury. The writer says that, "the jury system is destroying the law, and slowly but surely bringing on the bloodiest revolution known to history." The march of events towards the cataclysm predicted has certainly not been swift, since even now after an experience of more than eight centuries there is no popular clamor against trial by jury nor can any symptoms of unrest on that account be observed. English speaking people have always regarded the institution of jury trials as the chief bulwark of liberty, and should the matter be submitted to a popular vote, it would probably be found that this sentiment is as strong today as it has ever been. In criminal cases, especially those involving the more serious crimes, it is believed that no better tribunal than the jury could be devised. It is a serious matter to determine questions involving life and liberty, and it would not be safe or right from any one point of view to impose such responsibility in the hands of a judge. It is well known that popular sentiment often demands the conviction or acquittal of a prisoner, according to circumstances, and the attitude of the public toward a judge who might dispose of the case contrary to this sentiment would be very different from the attitude toward a jury, not only because in the case of a jury there would be a verdict of twelve men instead 55 of one, but also because in the one case it would be the act of an officer of the government, while the jury are of the people themselves. There would propably be few judges who would be able to act with the indifference to public opinion, of a jury. Neither is the danger of official persecution nonexistent in this country, as the writer in the American Law Review asserts, and it is a more apparent danger now than it was a few years ago. In civil cases the situation is different. Controversies between citizens respecting their rights and liabilities could perhaps be generally determined by a judge with more exactness and justice than by a jury, and with far less expense, for the jury fees make a considerable item in a bill of costs. But in civil cases a jury is often the most satisfactory tribunal for determining questions of fact. In assessing damages for such wrongs as defamation of character, injuries to the person, and the like, the judgment of three men is better than the judgment of one. The fact, however, if it is a fact, that the right of trial by jury is justly entitled to the reverential regard in which it has always been held, does not prove that the present jury system is not susceptible of improvement. When twelve impartial men agree that beyond a reasonable doubt a person accused of a crime is guilty, the correctness of a verdict can rarely be questioned; and the same certainity generally attaches to a unanimous verdict of acquittal. But in many cases the jury are not unaminous, with the result that there is either a mistrial or a surrender of opinion by some of the jurors. The requirement of an unanimous verdict has long been regarded as a serious defect in that it demands what is too often impossible, viz., the agreement of twelve men on a state of facts as to which the evidence is conflicting. Would it not be a more rational plan to accept verdicts on which nine or even eight jurors are agreed, in all civil cases and in criminal cases other than capital felonies? The judges daily recognize the futility of the present rule by instructing juries that it is their duty to agree, and that they should make every effort to reach an agreement, which is only another way of saying that difference of opinion should be compromised. As far, however, as the federal courts are concerned, such a change as this is practically impossible, as the constitutional guaranty of the right of jury trial has been held to mean a jury of twelve as at common law and with the common law incidents of such trials; but the states may order such matters as the people think best.—N. Y. Law Notes. Charles Moorehouse who was grubstaked in 1886 by Mat Brown, a Negro of Spokane, returned from the South Sea Islands a few days ago bringing with him $10,000 as Brown's reward, Moorehouse is said to be fabulously rich. He found that Brown had died two years ago and he proposes to give the money to his heirs. At first glance this seems to be generous to a fault on the part of Moorehouse, but if Brown really grubstaked him, and if he, Moorehouse, made his fortune from mines or other investment on said grubstake, then Brown's heirs are entitled to half of his entire fortune, and if they will take it into court they can collect the same.
