Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN PRICE ONE YEAR $3.00 SINGLE COPIES TEN CENTS POLITICAL POT PIE Senator Levi Ankeny entertained the Commercial Club last Tuesday evening in a speech burlesque, and when we say entertained the club we do not mean to burlesque the senator for he certainly entertained those who desired to see him make a show of himself to their heart's content. His effort to speak was piteously painful from start to finish, and the wonder is that those who know him best and who pretend to have his political interest at heart, would permit him to get up before an intelligent audience and make an attempt to speak. The club had listened to splendid addresses from Senator Piles, Congressman Humphrey and Congressman Jones, and those who heard them felt greatly edified from having heard them, curiosity of course, took a great many out to listen to Senator Ankeny and after sitting through his rambling remarks not a man there but thought in his heart of hearts, and yea even a great many of them thought not only in their hearts, but in their mouths and so loudly that the other fellow heard his thoughts, that it was a blooming, bloody shame that such an apology for a statesman should be one of the representatives of the proud young state of Washington, and that too, in the most august assembly in the great round world. Oh, the pity and the shame of it! His audience quite agreed with him in that he was only touching in high places, in fact the most of them seemed to be of the opinion that he did not touch at all. At no time while he was before the club did he complete a thought or finish a sentence. His language was as inaccurate as ungramatical, and as unsophisticated as that of a Siwash breaking into the white man's ways. Quite a goodly number of those present went up for an introduction to the senator and he acted more like a bashful school boy than a real man. As some dozen or more of the young men were going down the elevator from the club room they met a couple of young friends who were late, so late that they did not hear any part of the proceedings and the laters inquired of those that were there, "Did the senator give the club a good talk?" "Not a word," one of them shouted, "or you will fall dead," whereupon the whole bunch as one man burst out in a thundering roar of laughter. We do not suspect many of those young fellows nor those they go with will vote for a fossil of the Ankeny stripe to represent the state of Washington in the United States senate when they will have a chance to vote for a man like Wesley L. Jones. Evidently Senator Piles, Congress- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, Friday, July 17, 1908 man Humphrey and Governor McGraw knew what was coming hence their absence. The grand rush for filing is over and many there were who took advantage of the opportunity in their endeavor to either get head of the list or as near thereto as possible, all of which, in the opinion of the Pie-maker, was wasted effort and energy. Those who rushed for the head of the ticket must have thought they either had Indians or ignoramuses to deal with instead of intelligent, educated citizens. There is no doubt but that every one that goes to the polls at the September primaries will go there with their minds fully made up as to whom they will vote for, and they will scan the ticket until they find that name. It will be remembered that in the late Seattle election that those can didates who filed for mayor first were the ones that got the least number of votes. Levy filed first and he got the smallest number of votes on the ticket. Judge Humphries filed next and he was a close second to Levy; George Russell came next and he was a close second to Humphries; Trimble next and he just ran a few votes ahead of Russell, and Miller was the last to file, and he swept the field defeating all of the other candidates, all of which is proof sufficient that there is nothing to that getting first place on the ticket. W. M. Ridpath heads the list for governor and Levi Ankeny for senator. Each of these gentlemen are multi-millionaires and of course did not hesitate to pay expensive men to stand in line for them in order to make certain that they got first place on the ticket. To the mind of the Pie-maker nothing could have been more undignified than to see a gubernatorial candidate in a mad scramble to get the first place on the ticket, and to make it even more undignified, a man who had twice been elected to the state senate and who has been considered one of the foremost men of the state, standing in line with a gubernatorial and a senatorial aspirants' declaration in his hands to be the first to file and for the purpose of taking advantage of the first place opportunity. The curiosity of the voters have been aroused by that mad rush for advantage and it will make them all the more careful about scanning their tickets before they cast their votes. Six aspirants for the Republican gubernatorial nomination have filed their declaration as follows: W. M. Ridpath, John D. Atkinson, S. G. Cosgrove, Gov. Albert E. Mead, Henry McBride and J. W. Robinson. The last name was something of a surprise and it is said that Joe Robinson, the Olympia attorney whom the supreme court suspended for unprofessional con- duct, filed his declaration of candidacy for the Repubtican nomination for governor in order to get an opportunity to get on the stump to roast the supreme court. If Robinson had gotten his just deserts the supreme court would have disbarred him, as its leninency toward him caused more unkind criticism than anything it has done in years. It will now probably feel his ingratitude, but it should remember that the yelpings of such whipped perverts never appeal to the people as they figure out for themselves the cause of his soreness. Jim Agnew of course heads the list for sheriff of King county because he saw to it that no one stood at the head of the line that did not hold his declaration for the purpose of filing the same before that of any other candidate for sheriff was filed. Jim refuses to say whether he will run his office with economy if he should be elected, because he knows that he does not intend to do so. The Pie-maker is rather disappointed in the crawfishing of Agnew in this particular for he is the man that will promise to do everything you ask him to do before the election and not do a darn thing after he is elected. There is not a more contemptible political trickster in the political game the counry over than Jim Agnew and if the voters of King county should elect him sheriff what the other sheriffs of the county have done in the way of depriving the county of its rights would be nothing in comparison. Any one of the other aspirants would come nearer giving the voters and tax payers a square deal than Jim Agnew, and mark these words you will rue the day you ever elect a man sheriff of this county who spends the greater part of his time at baseball games, cigar stands shaking dice and at the race track betting on the ponies. Judge John E. Humphries has showed a disposition to play fair and honorable in the mad scramble to file declarations and his manly letter to the Post-Intelligence has been quoted by a number of the leading weekly papers of the state. Judge Humphries seeks to be one of the supreme court judges and the dignified course he is persuuing for the election is winning him many votes. There is no doubt but that he will get a big vote in King county, and if he makes even a good showing in other parts of the state, he stands a show of being elected. It can be said of Judge Humphries without fear of successful contradiction, that he is an able lawyer and a most honorable gentleman, and if he should be so fortunate as to be elected to the bench, he will make one of the best judges the state has ever had. Among the candidates filed for VOL. XV, NO. 8 H. R. CAYTON, PUBLISHER superior court judges of King county the names of Wilson R. Gay and Boyd J. Tallman appear, both of whom THE SEATTTE REPUBLICAN feels like personally vouching for, and in fact does herewith cheerfully recommend them to the voters for their suffrage. For the past eight years Judge Tallman has been a member of the superior bench of King county and his rulings have been so fair and just to the minds of the average citizen that it has made him a host of friends, and it is the concensus of opinion that he will lead all of aspirants at the September primaries. While Mr. Gay has not been on the bench, yet he is very popular with the people, and his ability as a lawyer can be classed among the very best in the state, and he is popular with the laboring people as well as the poor people in general, so that he will come pretty nearly getting as many votes in the primaries as Judge Tallman. Charley Cline, he of Populistlegislative fame, spent a couple of days in Seattle this week and shook hands with a good many former friends. Charley, it will be remembered, was speaker of the house of representatives of the fifth legislature and would have been elected to the United States senate to succeed Watson C. Squire had not Colonel Ridpath, who is now candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of this state, manipulated the Le Rei coin so successfully in the interest of Judge George Turner. "I am now nothing but a simple farmer trying to live an honest upright life," said he when questioned as to his business. He has dropped completely out of politics and he says he is a hundred times the happier thereby. Funny times, these. We are going through a business depression, recovering from a panic, starting a presidential campaign, raising eight billion dollar crops, going into a $600,000,000 foreign steel combine; adding to our billion dollar gold pile; lending money at lower rates than any other country; sending millions to Europe for pastime; producing more coal than England and Germany together; sailing a big fleet around the world; digging the most expensive canal on the hemisphere; cutting a $750,000,-000 hay crop; putting out several hundred million dollars' worth of new railroad bonds; shipping 200,000,000 bushels of wheat to hungry foreigners; raising 700,-000,000 bushels of wheat; losing gross earnings at the rate of $500,000,000 a year, and piling up a treasury deficit bigger than that of any other nation in the world. And yet they call these dull times!—Spokane Chronicle. Phone Main 305 for legal work. RACES! RACES! RACES!

Cayton.....Editor and Publisher Susie Revels Cayton.....Associate Those fellows that are candidates for public office that make their grand stand plays to the effect that, they do not expect to be grafted by any newspaper men, should just remember that they are a bit in the grafting business themselves as they seek every devise they can to get some if not all the papers to give them favorable mention; and then again, they should remember that they are asking for something that they want and are more interested in getting than any one else and especially the editors of the newspapers. The fact of the whole matter is the space in a newspaper, so far as the candidates are concerned, should be a commercial commodity and the next legislature ought to so amend the present law that if a candidate so desires he can advertise in the newspapers under paid advertisement to his heart's content. No man should expect a newspaper to whoop it up for his candidacy without there being some valuable consideration attached to it and the newspaper that does do it just shows its poor financial judgment. "Panama Elections Passses in Quiet," says a head line. We suspect the natives even hold their breath when they voted lest in doing so they in some way displease their Uncle Sam, who had already made it plain to them whom they should elect president of the republic. There is a good deal in having the proper kind of orders. "The Big Fighters Start On a Long Voyage, is a head line referring to the Atlantic fleet. We suspect the big fighters would really do very little fighting if some nation's warships should sweep down on the foreign coal supply on which they are dependent while on their wonderful tour of awe inspiring. President Castro is not exactly a man without a country, but the country over which he presides, Venezuela, is a country without a national friend and unless it mends its ways in the very near future it will be a country without a president or anything else common to independence. If the Merry Widow baseball nine was organized for the purpose of advertising for husbands they must have felt disappointed when they learned that the men were unanimous in their verdict that, there was not a "good catch" in the bunch. Gen. George W. Tibbetts of the Soldiers' Home of this state writes this office and congratulates the editor on the auto article in last week's paper, also the redlight district and finally the one concerning Senator Ankeny and Colonel Blethem. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Its safe to bet that "Bill" wilt be elected president of the United Stated next November. Ankeny "touched in high places." The Times did not report Senator Ankeny's speeches. Why? We suppose the part showing the leg of the lady with the new fashioned gown on is the directoire part of it. With Hearst deserting the Democratic party and Lawson the Republican party, it looks as if it was "hoss and hoss." Unless we miss our guess there will be at least one blank Page in the book of nominations that will be made next September in King county. That Prohibition speaker that is so bitterly opposed to women voting, realizes that if the women did vote, they would clean out such renegades as himself. minds more appropriate. Let it alone as the name is just as appropriate as if you should call it some Indian name that could only be pronounced by doubling your tongue up and then letting it fall down. Georgia may not go Republican next fall, but there is no reason why it should not go Prohibition and still remain a demagogue in politics and likewise mete out its usual amount of cuss words to the niggah. Judging from the answers printed in the morning paper of this city given by foreigners, who desire to become citizens of this country, neither those particular foreigners nor any like them should ever be permitted to become naturalized. "Hello, Bill," stand still and your pictur I'll take. The picture the camera man proposes to have whether William Howard stands still or not. Its nice to be president, but it is awfully annoying getting ready for it. "What's in a name," some one wrote, to which we would like to answer, "Nothing," and for that reason it is simply cheap rot on the part of that improvement club that is advocating the changing of the name of Green Lake to something in their Even if Gompers is able to take all the labor vote into the Bryan camp that has been with him in the past, still Taft will have nothing to fear. If the so called labor vote would not vote for a labor union man for president it is certain that it will not vote for Bryan, who only labors with his mouth. But speeding in the early dusk, Without his lamps alight; A man in blue and brass appeared And stopped his dizzy flight. He didn't have a single cent To pay the fine impo ed. They took the auto for the debt, And so the tale was closed. —Popular Mechanics. Why not convict Dr. Butler of some other crime that another jail sentence may be imposed upon him, and then perhaps the county jail will truly be a place of religious reform by his converting all of the convicts who go there. Who can now doubt but that the Lord works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. Tacomaites were much pleased to witness the beginning of the long expected federal building for that city. Its he who laughs --- last that laughs best and if Tacoma's new federal building is no more imposing when it will have been finished than Seattle's federal building, then all the pleasure she will get out of it will be in the beginning. HUMOR OF THE LAW (From Central Law Journal) The lawyer of the defendant was trying to cross-examine a Swede who had been subpoened by the other side as a witness in an accident case. "Now, Anderson, what do you do?" asked the lawyer. "Tank you, Aw am not vera well." "I didn't ask you how is your health, but what do you do. "Oh. yes; Aw work." "We know that, but what kind of work do you do?" "Puddy hard work; it ees puddy hard work." "Yes, but do you drive a team or do you work on a railroad, or do you handle a machine, or do you work in a factory?" "Oh, yas; Aw work in a factory." "Very good. What kind of a factory." "It ees a very big factory." Your honor," said the lawyer, addressing the court, "if this keeps on. I think we'll have to have an interpreter."

Before, along the country roads, The sumac lit its fires, He put a mortgage on his house To purchase rubber tires; And next he auctioned off his beds, Histable and his chairs To give the car a coat of paint And make some slight repairs. An Ohio lawyer tells of a client of his—a German farmer, a hard-working, plain blunt man who lost his wife not long ago. The lawyer had sought him out to express his sympathy; but to his consternation the Teuton laconically observed: "But I am again married. "You don't tell me!" exclaimed the legal light. "Why, it has been but a week or two since you buried your wife!" "Dot's so, my frent; but she is as dead as effer she vill be,"— Lippincott's. The U. S. navy possesses in the scout cruiser Salem the fastest warship in the world. In the recent government standardization trial over the measured mile course of Rockland, Maine, this handsome vessel was driven at a maximum speed of 26.88 knots, and at an average speed for five runs over the mile course of 25.95 knots. This result is particularly gratifyiug because of the fact that the Salem is equipped with Curtis turbines, a type which is distinctly American, having been developed entirely in this country. The Chester a sister ship driven by Parsons turbines, has the distinction of being the second fasted warship afloat, her official standardized speed, as determined by the government board, being 25.07 knots for five runs over a mile course, and 26.22 knots for her fastest mile. In claiming that these two are the fastest warships afloat, the term is restricted to vessels which, because of their size, are entitled to rank in the cruiser class. The torpedo-boat destroyers, whose speed, of course, is very much higher, rank more in the boat than in the ship claass, and should be considered by themselves. Reports have been cabled from the other side of the Atlantic to the effect that the cruiser battleship Indomitable steamed at highsr speeds than these; but the reports lack verification, and iudeed a semi-official organ has stated that the builders were satisfied to secure the 25 knots called for by contract. The Parsons turbines were not pushed much beyond the 41,000 horse power, which, it was estimated, would be sufficient for the contract speed. In addition to the Salem and Chester, the scout class includes the Birmingham, which is equipped with reciprocating engines; and advantage is to be taken of the opportunity thus afforded to carry out competitive trials of the three boats under absolutely identical conditions. The trials will be made simultaneously, with the boats in close proximity to each other and using the same quality of coal. Several runs will be made off the Maine coast at different speeds, when careful measurements will be taken of coal and water consumption, and much other technical data will be secured. The unrivalled opportunity thus afforded for testing the three leading types of motive power has never before been presented; and the results cannot fail to have a far-reaching effect in the field of marine engineering. In a subsequent issue, we hope to give the full official data secured during the recent run of the Salem.—Scientific American. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has adopted the following motto: "What benefits the Northwest benefits Seattle." If they will stay by this motto the whole Northwest will be benefited.—Big Bend Empire. Pone Main 305 for Legals. Friday. July 17. 1908 CURRENT COMMENT Is it another trick of the man with a pull that is staving off the erection of a municipal asphalt plant until a majority of the work will have to be let to greedy contractors and operators of asphalt plants? More than two years ago the dominant party in the city of Seattle went on record as favoring the immediate building and operating of a municipal plant, but either by trickery or filthy lucre the operators of the variour asphalt plants in the city have been able to head off any move in that direction. when the city let asphalting contracts verging onto a million dollars and not one word was said about the prospective plant that money had been voted to build, and that too, when the members of the board of public works estimated, after allowing liberally for profit and mishaps, that the bids were at least 5 per cent higher than they should have been, but the combine had made the bids, and the city not being ready to do the work the contract was let and the city was again filched out of not less than $100,000. The loss of so small a sum of money, however, does not seem to interest the city authorities for they know the public is able to pay the bill, and then again if the contracts are let some of their henchmen will have been liberally rewarded for past favors. Saturday Mayor Miller was given a big lift toward carrying out his pledge, that he would move the red light district to some other fellow's property, which would give him or her an opportunity to grow fabulously rich off of the fallen women. It should be an easy matter now for the mayor to carry out his pledge as the fire reduced a majority of the dens of vice and sin to ashes. It is often reasoned by men and women of good moral character that the red light district is a necessaray evil and it means prosperity for any city. If that be true then we suggest that the red light district be either located on one of the prominent streets, and that too, near the center of the city or the odium of being designated as the red light district be entirely removed, and permit the necessary evil to locate wherever suits it best, and may perhaps the residence of Seattle will for all time to come live on milk and honey as a result. Until the white man, the dominant class in this country, cease to minimize the good and meritorious things accomplished by the black man and likewise cease to magnify the bad things he does by glaring headlines in the daily newspapers, the Negro will continue to be a disturbing social evil in the body politics. From Maine to Mexico and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the nigger dominancy bug bear is being discussed by the white man and all because the white man seems ready and willing to criticize and censure every false move that the black THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN man makes. But a few days ago the writer listened unobserved to a refined white lady tell her lady companion as they passed a rather ungainly looking colored lady going down the street not realizing she had attracted the attention of any one, how she did mortally hate the Negroes, because of the fact that they were so untidy looking. "I just hate to meet one of them on the street." If that woman had used the same amount of energy trying to help this unfortunate people that she had used in hating them she perhaps would not have to go through life regretting the fact she had to meet one of them on the streets. Sarcastic criticism accomplishes nothing toward eradicating an evil, while on the other hand a little aid, assistance and teaching may quickly remove the evil, and it certainly would be done and the Negro transformed into a creature pleasing to behold even to the most fatidious white person if all the white persons would help them upward instead of kick them still further down the hill of degradation. The thought, however, that prompted this brief lecture, was how the daily papers enlarged and brought out in great headlines that the young man who was arrested at the postoffice one day last week was a Negro. It would take a great deal more than a cursory glance at the young man to distinguish that he had any Negro blood in him, and what was the excuse for the daily papers to dwell so persistently on the fact that he was a Negro, even if he had been black enough to spit ink for the government. Had the young man been a German, Irishman, Swede, Englishman or any other nationality save a Negro, would the papers in reporting the fact dwelt on his nationality? You ask what harm did that do? It simply warned the business world that here was a Negro boy that had been given a place of responsibility and he fell short of the mark. It simply meant that the employing public seeing that when a young Negro in the future applied for a responsible position the employer would remember the above incident and say no. It is by no means the rule that young Negroes do the wrong thing when given places of trust because they and their friends know that the sins of one Negro is visited upon all of them even to the third and fourth generation so far as the white man is concerned. The Negro has no objections to be known as a Negro and even when there is but little Negro blood in his veins, but it is perfectly natural for him to try to deny the Negro blood in his veins when he knows that it means financial ruin to him. Be as fair to the Negro as to the other fellow and there will be little if any excuse for the "nigger" dominancy rawhide and bloody bone story. If the dairymen are forced to sell to the Seattle consumers 'pure milk' then those consumers must expect to pay for it," says a committee from the Dairy- man's Association, all of which sets us to thinking and ask, what is milk? If the consumers have not been getting milk then in Heaven's name what have they been getting? Milk we had always supposed was a fluid extracted from the udder of an animal and that milk which was most commonly used in the homes for food came from a cow. The consumers are perfectly willing to take that article as it comes from the cow whether it be pure or otherwise. The fact of the business is the milk dealers are generally men who never see a cow and the stuff they sell generally goes through two and three adulteration stages before it is finally sold to the consumer for milk, when in fact it is practically nothing more nor less than a milk preparation. In informing the public that it must expect to pay more money if it expects to get pure milk the milk dealers openly admit that the public in the past has not been getting milk, and for that every mother's son of them should be arrested for violation of the pure food law. Its the same old story, the average American is simply money mad and will sell his father poison for food if in so doing he is making a big profit on the article sold. In attempting to repeal the garbage ordinance one could hardly say "that, there is a nigger in the wood pile," but from the odor that is arising from it there certainly must be a dago in the ash can. The agitation on the part of Hi Gill for its repeal seems to us to be nothing more nor less than a movement so crude in its general make up that a blind man can see it, which is fathered by the gold of Frank Buty and the other Italians interested in the garbage collection, and Hi Gill their pliant tool is backing it to continue to filch the people out of their hard earned cash. Whether or not bribes have been offered Murphy may not be of any consequence for it does not seem reasonable that even an Italian would offer such a man as Murphy a bribe, but the mere fact that Gill, the attorney and adviser for the corporation, is urging the repeal of the ordinance is sufficient to justify the belief, that, the Italians are using unfair means to force the city into paying tribute to them. There is not a city of any importance it the whole country that does not have a garbage collection aparatus of its own and why not Seattle? And it is high time than Seattle was shaking off its grafters and cutting loose from its hundred and one grafts. The brazenness of Hi Gill is his advocacy of such men as Frank Buty is to say the least remarkable. M. L. Sherpy, the gifted journalist, who came here from Seat- "Ye-as, indeedy! Who is di what's talking to me?" Guardian Life INSURANCE CO. OF SEATTLE 5 tle a few months ago for recuperation has been out on his uncle's farm near Whittier for the last few weeks enjoying the pleasures of walking behind a plough and other pastime to be found while living in a rural district. Of course Mr. Sherpy has not been driven to hard work—he is just doing it for fun and he acknowledges it with sublime editorial complacency.—Sawtelle (Cal.) Sentinel. Hundreds went to see the directoire gown on exhibition at the Bon Marche and after looking it over they saw nothing in the world to it, but a finely fitting female costume cut so that the woman wearing it could show her leg up to her knees without going to the trouble of pulling up her skirts as she has been accustomed to doing. If women raise their skirts for the express purpose of exhibiting their legs to men for the purpose of mesmerizing them, or the more plainly speaking, with the hope of exciting their animal natures, then it occurs to us that the directorie gowns are a failure even before they become generally popular, as the constant exposure of a woman's leg would not accomplish what the directoire gown devotee planned for it to do. The man who gets the all-overs at the sight of a striped stocking on the leg of a pretty woman is a moral leper and too much of an animal to associate with good peosle, but the same man would grow equally tired of the very thing that he raved about if his his eyes could gaze upon it constantly. Hewever, the introduction of the new gowns may be the means of another industry springing up, factories for the manufacture of a more perfect leg pad. A young colored man asked permission of his employer to use the telephone, as he wished to speak to a colored girl employed at another residence. Upon receiving consent, he explained: "You see, it's dis way. I love dad gal an' wants to ask her to marry me, but 'fore de Lord! I aint got the grit to ask her 'word out of mouth'; an' so I wants to use de 'phone. I'll just call her up." "Hello! Dat you, Dirah?" "Dinah, you knows I thinks a heep of you." "Ye-as."

L. H. CRAVER, Plaintiff. A. C. MacDONALD, Attorney for Plaintiff. Office Address: 524 Bailey Building, Seattle, Wash. June 12—July 24, 1908. PERSONAL. Mrs. C. F. Long, who is still a guest at "The Comfort," is daily expecting the arrival of her husband from their home, Los Angeles. Miss Gertrude Harvey most charmingly entertained a few of her young friends at dinner Sunday afternoon. Covers were laid for eight. Owing to the continued pleasant weather Messrs. Jones and Graves are meeting with well merited success in their management of Fortuna Park. "Are You In the Majority?" was the subject of a very able and practical sermon delivered by Dr. Wallace to an appreciative audience Sunday evening, Jnly 12th. Those who heard the discourse felt greatly benefitted thereby. The rehearsal for the cantata, Queen Ester, being conducted by Mrs. Andrew Black at the Mt. Zion Babptist church, are being well attended and a great deal of interest is being manifested in the work by the participants. The principal characters have been chosen and they will rehearse separately Friday evening. The regular monthly meeting of the Doras Chariiay Club will be held Monday evening, July 27th, at the Afro-American hall. A pleasing programme has been arranged for the occasion and light refreshments will be served. The public is cordially invited to attend; admission free. Plans for the general entertainment to be given in September will be discussed The first colored girl to be employed in the government bureau of engraving and printing was appointed under President Harrison about seventeen years ago. Today more than 500 colored girls are employed in that bureau. The number of Negroes holding government jobs in Washington in 1892, 2,397. In 1907, 2,785 of them. That is an increase of just about $16\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. In the same period the increase in the number of white employes in Washington was only about 9 per cent. The number of Negroes taking the civil service examinations is constantly increasing. Comparatively well educated Negroes are perfectly willing, indeed glad, to take minor clerkships under the government, places which do not appeal to white men of ability for the simple reason that the white man can do better. The consequence is that the most capable of the Negroes compete with the whites of at best only mediocre ability. Naturally the colored man often comes out ahead in the examination, and when that happens there is nothing to prevent his getting the appointment. In Washington one government employe in every nine is colored, and the proportion is constantly growing larger. -Selected. Attorneys, attention!
