Seattle Republican

ATTLE REPUB THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The United Kingdom of Great Britain spent last year for naval purposes more than a $160,000,000. The United States come second spending $125,000,000; Ger- In view of the fact that Local Option is one of the paramount issues of the present political campaign all over the United States it might not be out of place to note the stand taken by the Methodist Episcopal church at its general conference last May on the subject. The conference are today in a condition world. Would that War Preparations Peace Guaranty Local Option Not Prohibition peace we give though give thought mainl War Preparations Peace Guaranty peace we give thought to industrial problems. We do give thought mainly to commercial progress, and yet a glanse at our annual appropriation bills shows that year after year we are placing our army and our navy on a firmer foundation, for we are constantly preparing for a war which we hope will never come. We believe that our surest guaranty of peace is found in perfect preparation for war. We should at all times maintain such an army and such a navy as will be the sure guaranty of the protection of American citizens and American rights everywhere and be at the same time an omen of peace.—James S. Sherman, Republican candidate for vice president. In electing Robert Terhune chairman of the county central committee, Joseph R. Manning, secretary and Walter McClure, treasurer, of the same, the various King County Central Committee The members thereof did not stop at that, but went a step further and elected John C. Higgins a member of the state central committee, thereby supplanting Ellis DeBruler, who had been decided upon by some of the candidates to direct the state campaign. This turn of affairs has caused some little commotion among the Republicans, but it is not thought that it will be of more than momentary consideratiod. If the other counties follow in the wake of King county and some of the others an entirely new central committee will be elected and that committee will of course select its own chairman, and Mr. DeBruler, not being a member thereof, will hardly be eligible to hold the position. Whoever is to direct the campaign should begin to get busy as the Democrats are already doing things. Chairman De Bruler after going over the actions of the County Central Committee instead of himself has decided the election was iaregular and toat he will not recognize Mr. Higgins' would-be authority. It will require an order of the court to establish Mr. Higgins' right. Senator Palmer Certain of Election practically withdrawn. Ed Palmer is a candidate; he is also from King. The fact that he is close to ilson will and that committee w man, and Mr. DeBru will hardly be eligible to direct the campai Candidate Bryan's reply to President Roosevelt's last Sunday's letter, consisting of only a personal attack on the president and not upon either of his political or his public policies will not be answered, which closes the campaign letter writing. Friday morning as we go to press the canvasssing board is still counting away. The election of Chadwick, Root and Crow for supreme judges is assured. The nomination of Lewis for state treasurer is highly probable. There in no doubt but that Chas. E. Coon will contest the nomination of M. E. Hay for lieutenant governor attacking the constitutionality of the second choice. There may be contests filed for the gubernatorial nomination and the attorney general. --- Price One Year, $3.00.

Why is it any more undignified for the president of the United States to fully set out what he, with the aid of his partisans, has accomplished within the past four years in the way of reforms, than for one of the men seeking the presidency of the United States to go gallavanting over the country telling the dear people what he and his party will do the ensuing four years if the people will only elect him president of the United States? President Roosevelt's reply to Mr. Bryan last Monday was, it must be admitted by all, a stinging rebuke. It dealt with facts instead of fancies, which thing Mr. Bryan, both in speech and letter, has so generously handed out in the past. The president's brilliant as well as unanswerable Republican propaganda does not necessarily detract from Mr. Taft's fitness to assume the duties of the presidency of the United States, but it does show very conclusively that it is to the best interest of the country by and large, to continue the Republican party in the control of its affairs, which party will be so ably represented by William H. Taft. That the Republican party is the only party of real progress and genuine reform in the United States is readily seen from President Theodore Roosevelt's letter last Monday. So for as losing his dignity by giving the public the benefit of the facts, the president has simply followed the injunctions of the Bible by refusing to put his light under a cover, but has held it up and permitted it to shine forth in all its brilliancy. Its always the truth that hurts the guilty, and that is why the Bryanites so severely criticise President Roosevelt for the interest he is taking in the present campaign. Long live Teddy the Terrible! Medical jurisprudence in the form of an international congress for the purpose of devising ways and means to check the ravages of the great white plague which is giving the world so much concern and even worry, has been holding forth in Washington City the most of the pres White Plague Being Fought ent week, and the medicine men are not one day too early in assembling for consultation over the prospects of a still further spread of this loathsome disease, equally as deadly in the long run as the bubonic plague, to prevent the spread of which the United States government, as are other governments, is spending multiplied thousands of dollars annually. Of course it requires all of the medical skill and science known to the present age to even check the ravages of tuberculosis when once its presence is discovered in the human system, but the disease in the most instances is due to the carc lessness of the person. Consumption, as the disease is more commonly known, is due to one's willful exposure of him or herself. Not a day of the fall and winter passes but that some woman may be seen on the streets so thinly clad that her chest almost to her bust and her entire arms are practically bare, which is nothing more nor less than a consumption breeder. On the other hand, men drink and carouse about town, until the dead hours of the night, in which drunken condition they sow the seeds of the disease, a full crop of which in the form of hasty consumption, they reap a few years later. If the medicine men can devise some way to have women dress along common sense lines and men act more as human beings, there would perhaps be less of the disease to fight down. News from Paris is to the effect that medical science is likewise thoroughly aroused over the probable spread of cholera or bubonic plague, and all Europe is preparing to combine to crush it out if possible. tion as liberally as they would have had him do, he was roundly denounced by that army of parasites after he had taken his departure. Tipping Habit Is an Outrage It would seem, if for no other reason than self protection, the proprietor of the hotel would employ help that would not abuse guests after they had gone because such guests did not tip them as liberally as they desired. Such guests after reading in the daily papers how the help of hotel they had patronized had held them up to ridicule for not tipping them would certainly not be very keen to ever stop at that hotel again. The tip- State Library SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1908 ping custom of this country is both pernicious and imposing, and it is due to one of two causes. Either the employers do not pay their employees living wages and encourage them in fleecing the travelling public by so acting toward those they are sent to serve that the guests, in order to get any accommodations at all, are forced to liberally tip the servers: Or the employes are a heartless set of human hogs who work on the theory that, "a sucker is born every minute," and they all sooner or later land in some hotel drag net. It is a fact that guests of hotels and certain cafes from whom the waiters and other parasites thereabouts are reasonably sure they will get no tips are for the most part very poorly served, and either the proprietors are powerless to prevent it or they fully approve of the course pursued by their employes. The legislatures of some of the states of this Uunion have passed anti-tipping laws with the hope of protecting the public against such a game of hold-up, but the custom is so thoroughly established that the guets themselves will break the law. Even the government itself tips the clerks and helpers, who serve congress, by giving each of them a month's extra pay at the adjournment of each session. Under such circumstances then its no wonder that the tipping evil has grown a pace with the entire country. If hotel proprietors cannot prevent the fleecing of their guests by their help after they have paid exorbitant hotel bills, then they should not permit the help to abuse such of the guests who do not liberally tip them. Local Option Not Prohibition by a unanimous vote went on record as opposing Prohibition, but enthusiastically favoring local option. In taking the stand it did on this subject the church took direct issue with the Anti-Saloon League of the country and rejoiced in the fact that it did. In discussing the subject, Bishop Bashford, the noted educator and eminent divine said: "It I had the power to thrust prohibition on a community I would not do it unless I knew the community wished it, and just as long as the Anti-Saloon League keeps local option as the goal of its ambition it can never be said that, it is open to political compromise." If, therefore, it is the intention of the Anti-Saloon League to attempt to force prohibition on the state of Washington instead of local option, then there is grave danger of both of them being defeated, and the members of the league will have no one else but themselves to blame for it. Every community should have the right to say whether it does or does not want local option. Even wards in cities should nave this right. Should a majority of the voters of a state favor state wide prohibition it would be unjust to thrust such on those communities of such a state that not only do favor it, but do not by any means want it. The minority have rights that the majority should respect. The speakership fight will commence in earnest immediately after election. Ole Hanson, from King, seems to have the best of the fight since Reid has Senator Palmer Certain of Election tend to hurt him in all parts of the state, and it should militate against nim in his home county. Sam Piles has got to get busy in his home county to head off John L. Wilson. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, in its last issue, practically announced that John L. is a candidate to succeed Piles, and if Wilson enters, Sam is going to have some trouble—mark these words. All that a candidate for the speakership can do from now on is to play for the place. The election has not been held, and the best that one could get would be a cotingent promise which is of no doubt of little value.—Tacoma Forum. Editor Ryan has started out on another guessing tour and if he does not watch himself he will land all in a political heap at the bottom of the ladder right where he found himself at the close of the late direct primary contest. Mr. Palmer will get every vote in King county for speaker of the house of representatives when the next legislature convenes, even to Mr. Hanson's, and if the Forum desires to be in the band wagon it had better begin to advocate Edward B. Palmer for speaker, as he will be elected hands down. In fact he is as good as elected now. Volume XV, Number 19. H. R. CAYTON. Publisher.

Office Address: Room 32 Union Block, Seattle, King County, Washington. Friday, October 2, 1908 BENCH AND BAR. Judge John B. Yakey, of Kitsap county, is holding court for Judge Frater this week and Judge Frater is in Chehalis county helping Judge Rice out, who seems to be swamped with work just now. A jury in Judge Gilliam's court has given a woman a verdict for $15000 against the Seattle electric company. She sued for $25,000. The woman claims to have been struck by a street car, which resulted in the loss of one of her legs. The county commissioners setting as a court decided to reject the assessments levied on all properties in the county for the purpose of building the Lake Washington canal. The matter will doubtless be carried to the supreme court. For the past twenty years this canal has been in the public eye and it seems no nearer settlement or being built today, than when it was first agitated. Bailiff D. B. Ward, in Judge Albertson's court, celebrated his 45th marriage anniversary last Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Ward are pioneers to this section, they having taken up a homestead in the White river valley many years ago, not far from O'Brien. He is one of the best known men in the county and has a host of friends who wish that both he and his wife may live and enjoy good health for a number of years yet to come. A Japanese is serving on a jury in this county and it is said to be the first Japanese that has ever served on a jury in this section of the country. He is a natural born citizen and a voter and under the present jury system any voter is liable to be drawn as a juryman. EXCESSIVE ALLOWANCES TO RECEIVERS It has been on our mind for some time to sound a note of warning to courts in reference to a matter which has had a strong tendency to embitter the public mind against both courts and lawyers. We refer to the excessive allowances made by some courts to receivers of defunct banking institutions and their attorneys. We direct attention to receiverships of banking institutions only for the reason that in such cases the allowances are more excessive and the people interested in the results are depositors as well as ordinary commercial creditors and the hardships entailed are greater and more general. The same observations however, can apply with equal force to other receiverships. We saw an opportunity to revert to this discussion when our attention was called to the case of People v. Knickerbocker Trust Company, 111 N. Y. Supp. 2. The defendant in the case, The Knickerbocker Trust Company, was the great banking institution of New York City upon which the notorious and spectacular raid was made by thousands of depositors last spring and whose failure besides involving thousands of small depositors in New York was the harbinger of the recent panic. The failure was one of the most disastrous in all the annals of bank failures. Widespread suffering resulted and the people interested natur- [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie and a mustache]. IRVING T. COLE ally watched the proceedings with jealousy and suspicion. And well they did as the facts in the principal case indicate a most reprehensible understanding between the directors and the receivers to permit the latter to exact excessive fees for their services. The amount demanded by the receivers and agreed to by the attorneys representing the directors was $75,000 for each of three receivers appointed, and $75,000 for counsel who represented them, or a total of $300,-000 of money belonging to widows and orphans and to hard working men and women of small means! The lower court, unobservant as such courts usually are in such matters, and hearing no objections from whose duty it was to object, entered the order making the allowance as stipulated between the parties. The state, a party to the proceeding for the dissolution of the company, appealed the case. Other questions were before the court on appeal and not one of the parties seriously considered that the allowance made was a question on which the court would desire to pass, being satisfied that the court below had acted wisely within its discretionary powers in the premises. But Justice Gaynor, one of the greatest judges on the New York supreme bench, Apellate Division, startled both the receivers and their attorneys by singling out sua sponte the amount of the allowance and making that the main issue in the case. The strong terms of condemnation used by Justice Gaynor in setting aside these allowances will sound strange to many lawyers who consider it proper to exact excessive fees for their own services and recommend equally outrageous allowances for receivers whom they represent and should go ringing through the land as a note of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN T. COLE warning against judicial extravagance in the handling of other people's money which happens for the time being and for one reason or another to be in custodia legis. After dismissing the other points in the case with a single, short paragraph, the learned judge who wrote the opinion, proceeded as follows: But the amount allowed for compensation and expenses in this proceeding was so grossly excessive as to amount to a spoliation of the assests of the trust company, and the order must be reversed or else modified for that reason. To allow it to stand would implant general distrust of the administration of justice. The temporary receivers served for only five months. The allowance of $75,000 to each for compensation, and the same sum to their counsel, in all the great sum of $300,000, is so disproportionate as not to wear the appearance of unhampered judicial discretion and judgment, but of having been arranged by agreement between the temporary receivers and the directors of the trust company, and adopted by the court inadvertently, or without the exercise of its controlling judgment and discretion. This a'so appears from the peculiar form of the order, viz., that the sums fixed should be paid provided the trust company consented, which its officers promptly did. Inasmuch as the trust duty of the directors of the trust company is to be diligent to have these charges upon the funds of the trust company fixed as low as possible, it seems strange that they should send counsel here to argue in favor of the compensation as fixed below. It imparts a strange moral aspect to the case, to say the least. It is urged that the court should not assume a paternal supervision over the directors of the truts company, but should be satisfied --- with or let pass what they are willing to do in the premises; but if there could be any force at all in such a suggestion in any case, this is not such a case. We deem it our duty to exercise our judgment and discretion in the reduction of the amounts fixed to a proper sum. It is not difficult for a court to see what the compensation should be without the aid of a reference. The order is modified by reducing the compensation of each temporary receiver from $75,000 to $20,000, and that of counsel from $75,000 to $20,000, and as so modified it is affirmed." Does not this language stir the very soul of man? Does not the action of this appellate tribunal in New York city in reaching out after apparently undetected extravagance, inspire renewed confidence in the watchfulness of even our appellate judiciary in circumventing excessive judicial charges and expenses? The widow and the orphan and the hard-fisted man of toil would have found it hard to believe that three receivers and one lawyer should receive $300,000 of their hard earnings for five months' work, and to have allowed it to stand would, in the language of Justice Gaynor, have implanted general distrust of the administration of justice. Such distrust has already been implanted in many jurisdictions which cannot boast a judiciary as watchful as the court in the principal case and who accede to the demands of lawyers and receivers without comment or objection. We are hopeful however, that trial courts all over the land will soon awake the fact that if they desire to retain the confidence of the people they must not accede to a receiver's demands for allowances for their services which are so disproportionate not to wear the appearance of unhampered judicial discretion and judgment. Central Law Journal. Hon. Irving T. Cole, of the law firm of Smith & Cole, has again taken up the practice of law after an absence of more than a year and a half from his office, the most part of which time was spent in the East. Mr. Cole left the city in very poor health but returns looking the very picture of health and feeling just as well as he looks. He, it will be remembered, was at one time a member of the city council of Seattle, subsequently a member of the legislature and later on an active candidate for the nomination of mayor against John Riplinger. The Honeymooners Geo. M. Cohan's "The Honeymooners" which comes to the Grand on Sunday, has been playing all sumner at the New Amsterdam Theater, New York at $2 prices, and the attraction would be playing yet were it not for the syndicate booking. After the present road tour "The Honeymoonars" returns to the New Amsterdam for a long engagement. Of all the Cohan song shows "The Honeymooners" has proven the most successful and the best supported. It has cleared a fortune for the young author, and placed his great reputation upon firm ground. Had he produced nothing else he would be accounted among the dramatist and composer stars. "The Honeymoon ers" comes on the road with its complete metropolitan production and with a company of Bsoadway favorites. No less than thirty winsome girls who sing and dance equally and aid in the twenty musical numbers. The piece has a big plot of politics and sport and mistaken identity in a Vermont town. Cohan proves himself a master of melody and of satire. "The Honeymooners" is good humored throughout but as a presentation of rural village types it has no equal. The local engagement will be one of the most interesting theatrical engagements of the season. "Heart of the Blue Ridge" Next week beginning Sunday matinee. In this play the Third Avenue Theater company will be called upon to impersonate new characters diametrically opposed to those they have been seen in since they opened at the new uptown play house. The scenes of the play are laid in the Blue Ridge mountains of Tennessee, where many stirring incidents took place during the late war and where feuds were engendered between southern families that have lasted until one or the other was wiped out by death. But in this incident the reverse is true. Cupid enters into the field and two of the feud families are brought together through love and the feud is ended for all time. The comedy is furnished by two Negro servants and it is good.

"Executive Has Gained No Dignity," is a Times head line. Perhaps not, but President Roosevelt has gained a lot of votes for Taft." President Roosevelt may be guilty of lying, as some of the Democrats have alleged, but it was evidently not about Gov. Haskell. "Was the Late President McKinley an Incompetent?" asks the Seattle Times. Not by any means, your 1896 editorials to the contrary notwithstanding. In view of the fact that the political Gore that flowed so freely in Seattle last week was of a Democratic tinge, no one got alarmed at it. Ten murderers confined in the jail of a pokey town like Portland, Oregon, reminds one of just how many mean men can crowd into one little old town. Your Uncle Levi, of Walla Walla, knows when he has had enough of a good thing, the grafters to the contrary notwithstanding, and as a result no more senatorial running for him. If Taft is prompting Hearst in his attacks on Haskell and other public luminaries, then Hearst is being prompted as he has never been before, and that is saying a good deal. While former Senator John L. Wilson has only homesteaded the Post-Intelligencer it seems to be the concensus of opinion that, he has pre-empted the Republican party of the state. Senator Foraker pleads his own case with the smoothness of greased lightning, but he might have been more convincing had his memory served him better on the vital points of the controversey. Perhaps young Elkins did not promise that actress that has sued him for $100,000 for a breach of contract to marry her, and that may be the key to the real situation. As a gentleman he ought to have done so. When George Cotterill compared Bryan to the immortal Lincoln we are surprised that the the tomb of Lincoln did not burst its walls at least long enough to permit its distinguished dead to come forth and lay low his traducer. Salary speculators in Seattle are under a cloud just now and may be forced out of business, which would perhaps mean that the various resorts would get the salaries of the average salary earners in lump lots instead of all long through the month. "Shall The Courts Rule?" asks the Union Record of Seattle. Of course unless you want anarchy to rule, which you for the most part seem to favor. If it be true that the whale instead of the elephant is the larger animal, evidently William Jennings Bryan has imagined himself a whale, which explains why he has tackled Roosevelt. Your imagination is poor, Billy. King Bros. clothing store did not run a mark down sale Saturday, but the last bunch of goods that went out of the store not only went at prices below cost, but even at a premium. The transaction was made by a festive burglar. If the scrap between President Roosevelt, Would-be President Bryan, Senator Foraker and Gov. Haskell continues there will be no need of Mr. Roosevelt going to Africa to hunt big game for he can have plenty of such fun at home. Husbands in the state of Washington, who for their own peace of mind, feel called upon to leave their wives, find that under the new law if they do so they are liable to be sent to prison for the same. Here is a clear case of being between the devil and the deep sea. Actors after all are a strange lot, before Nat Goodwin married Bessie Hall it is said they lived happily together, but, they foolishly married, and their troubles began no sooner than they had been made one. What you have not you want, but what you have you do not want, seems to be the rule on which they operate. Both Agnew and Brier claim that they have better jobs offered them right now if they would only resign their present positions and better than even those they were seeking at the hands of the voters a few days ago. We guess the reason they do not resign is because they are uneasy lest the county go to the dimnation bow wows if they leave the court house. Political Pointers Both Taft and Bryan are in the West just now doing the campaign act. According to former political ethics as to the part a candidate for the presidency should play in his election, they are both down and out. There seems to be no particular need for either national committee and it would not be amiss to cut them both out from further service. The Republican headquarters for the state have been opened in the Brunswick Hotel, corner of First Avenue and Columbia street, where they have been located for the past two campaigns. Assistant Secretary John L. Neagle is in charge for the present, and the preliminary work of the campaign has been begun. Chairman Ellis DeBruler has decided to not recognize J. C. Higgins as committeeman from King county, which means that the committee will remain in statu quo. THE SEATTLE NATIONAL BANK THE SEATTLE NATIONAL BANK Guardian Life INSURANCE CO. OF SEATTLE THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name] J. D. BaASSETT Who hae been nominated for the Senate. WILLIAM BISHOP Who will return to the House of Representatives from Jefferson county. Joe T. Mitchell, well known in Pierce county politics, has been arrested for tampering with the ballot box at Fairfield, Pierce county. The official count of the ballots for state offices is in progress. No startling changes have been discovered as yet, but it will require the complete count to decide the state treasurship contest and the full supreme judgeship contest. If candidate Pattison is not elected governor on the Democratic ticket it will not be because he did not work late and early with that aim. He is already speaking twice a night so numerous are his calls. Democrats all over the country are absolutely certain that President Roosevelt has lowered the dignity of the presidential office, all of which may be true from a Democratic standpoint, but he has raised it from a Republican stand-point. Democrats are spreading the apathetic story, which is said to exist among Republicans with the hope that the Republicans will fall into doubting themselves. Bryan seems to have the support of the trusts, and yet the laboring folks do not seem to see it. Mr. Rockefeller does not seem to think Bryan is so bad after all. Judge Orange Jacobs announces he will vote for Bryan this year. The question is, did not the Judge do the very same thing in 1896 and in 1900? Tom Watson touched a dangerous note when he said, "Bryan was playing for the Negro vote and trying to undo what the white man of the South had been thirty years in getting well done." There are thousands of Negroes in New York, New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, Maryland and other states in the North that would vote for Bryan if they really believed that he would be fair to them if elected. Independence Party is getting pretty well advertised for its youth, but Hearst, its father, is simply an advertising stem winder. No one need waste breath in denouncing Gov. Haskell. He, Haskell, has done that by resigning from the treasurship of the Democratic national committee. THE SEATTLE THEATER Next week's attraction at the Seattle Theater, "The Rocky Mountain Express." the very latest melodrama to be launched in the East. It is founded upon new ideas from beginning to end. The author has written a dialogue that is reasonable, though sensational. The climaxes are forceful and the situations keep one's pulse moving a bit beyond the normal. The wreck scene is a marvel of stage craft and mechanical enginuity; while the numerous scenes laid in the Rockies are strikingly different and happily arranged. The atmosphere is exhilarating and the company is much above the ordinary, assuring a well acted play. Scenically it is the biggest offering of the season. Friday.

October 2. 1908 Saatilje's Bank Showings The latest bank statement shows locally an almost complete recovery from the depression brought about by the Wall street disturbances of last October. The lost ground has been nearly all regained, and at the present rate of progress all of the old records of business promise to be surpassed. Since the last statement was called, the Seattle banks have gained $2,862,402 in deposits, and are now carrying total deposits of $63,614,721. The gain is over $5,000,000 since the May call was issued. Loans and discount have also shown a gain of nearly $2,-000,000 over the condition of these accounts at the time of the last call, showing an easier money market. The condition of the Seattle banks is notably healthy. With few exceptions, they show a large gain in the items of surplus and undivided profits, and the book value of the stock of all the banks, with one exception, is considerably larger than it was at the last report. This condition is gratifying in itself, but there is promise of even better results in the future. The bankers of the city are unanimous in the opinion that when the next call was made, which will probably be some time in December, the rate of gain will be even greater than it has been during the interval since the last call.—Post-Intelligence.

A. C. MACDONALD. Attorney for Plaintiff. Office address: 524 Bailey Building, Seattle, Wash. Date: 18 August 2008 SEATTLE'S AFRO-AMERICAN HOME BUILDERS 8 Professor Booker T. Washington, the well known Tuskegee promoter, some weeks ago contributed a well written article to an eastern magazine, which dwelt on the home building of the Negro in the United States, which article was well illustrated with the pictures of the homes of some of the leading Negroes in the various cities of this country. The article which was taken from actual life made a splendid showing for the Negro, who no where in the United States a half century ago knew any of the real tithes of home life and their pleasing environments, must have been an eye opener to the critics of the Negro, who have maintained ever since he has been emancipated that none of the qualities in him leaned toward homemaking, and that however well he might be educated, he, like the wild Indian, who after having been educated at one of the leading colleges of the land, would return West and relapse into the ways of the Indian, that after educating and refining, the Negro would return to his hovel and be as content therein as in a mansion with magnificent grounds surrounding. In selecting representative homes, however, Prof. Washington secured the pictures of the stars of the race—bishops, lawyers, doctors and professional men, and if any of the black folk took any pride in home building it should be such persons. In the city of Seattle there are perhaps not to exceed 700 Negro voters, and of that number only six are professional men, and not one of the entire number holding any official position of any kind, class or nature, and yet those who own good and commodious homes with inviting surroundings, will reach seventy-five per cent of the whole number. Only in rare instances will you find such commodious homes among the Seattle Negroes as those represented by Prof. Washington, but all of them have pleasant homes and they are for the most part well cared for. The professional men of the city all own palatial homes. Homes far in excess of those owned by the same class of white men doing the same volume of business. This is so because they desire to have nice homes, and not being able to hire the ornamental part of it done, they get in and do it themselves, and while they are at it, do it better, and a visitor to the city in passing one of their homes might suspect some man of considerable wealth lived therein, owing to the fine appearance of the house and the well kept grounds. Some time ago this paper issued a booklet giving a partial review of the success the Negro had attained in the Northwest, which booklet was illustrated with the pictures of a number of the homes owned by Negroes of not only Seattle, but other cities of the state. To demonstrate more fully that the Negro of the Northwest is at least developing into splendid home builders, the pictures of a few homes are here with represented, and that the reader may not get the opinion that it is only the stars of the race that are inclined to good home building, the five homes in 1 2 3 4 5 the accompanying group are all owned by men in the ordinary walks of life. Number one is owned by John Robinson, a janitor of one of the business blocks of Seattle, who makes no pretenses of passing himself off as a "big man." It is well kept and as cosy as can be. He built the most of it himself, even to putting in the hot water plant. Number two is the home of Ben Angel. who for a number of years has been the custodian of the office building of the Seattle Electric Co., which is but a polite term of saying, he is the janitor thereof. A nice home with pleasant surroundings and always well kept. His home pre- 1 sents a much better appearance than his white neighbors and all because he works harder than they do to make it so. Number three is the home of J. H. Doage, of Tacoma, who follows the trade of a barber. His home is situated in a nice neighborhood, and he sees to it that it is kept looking just as well if not better than those of his neighbors, because he knows if he does not, his neighbors will be complaining about that "nigger's shack on the corner." Number four is owned by Fred Mitchell, a railroad porter. It is not quite as pretentious as the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ICAN HOME BU others, but it is a cozy cottage, and the surroundings give it a much finer appearance than the picture herein would indicate. Days when he is in the city he spends his rest hours beautifying his home surroundings and he has done so most admirably. Number five belongs to Mrs. Sarah Grose, an old pioneer of this section. She has owned the property many years, and on it may be found a most choice variety of fruit trees, flowers and all such things that go to bless and beautify a home. Her husband and son, both of whom are now dead, spared no pains in making this an ideal home, and she and her grandchildren are keeping it up to the standard. 4 5 It is not the intention of the writer to place any intrinsic value on these homes, because beyond being homes for those who own them, they have no greater value. If the town has grown to such an extent of making each of these plots of ground more or less valuable, they are still the homes of these folk, and as long as they occupy them as such will have no more value than when they first purchased them unless they desire to sell them. What is desired to get out of all this is that the Negro in the Northwest, who has been thrown among the Anglo-Saxons, is a lopting his customs and building for their children as well as for themselves, elegant homes, and by this it is not meant they are building palatial homes, but whether palatial or not, they make them look their best by keeping both the house itself and the yard surrounding it up to date, and this is true of the rank and file of the Negroes as well as the stars of them who occupy exalted positions among their fellow men. Taking it all in all, it is very plain from what has been shown in this connection that the Negro, especially those of the West, are taking to good home building the same as the Anglo-Saxon, and if he was similarly situated 3 in a financial way he would buill just as expensive homes. In other words, there is no difference in human nature, whether clothed in a black or white skin. Hundreds of homes owned by Negroes in in Seattle would show up just as well as those herein and ninety-nine per cent of them are the homes of men in the very ordinary walks of life proving very clearly that the spirit of good home building is taking hold of one and all of them. It has been something like eighteen months since the booklet issued by THE SEATTLE RE- Friday, October 2, 1908 PUBLICAN was distributed, and at that time it was found that many Negroes were the owners of homes in the city of Seattle, all in more or less good condition, and compared very favorably with the ones the cuts of which appear herein; since that time however, others have either bought or built; the list below will give the reader some idea of the progress the Negro in Seattle is making toward home building considering the limited number herein: Walter Washington, W.
