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

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.

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.

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.

presidential chair? 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.

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-

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

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.

EXCESSIVE ALLOWANCES TO RE
CEIVERS
it has been on our mind ror some
time to sound a note of warning
to courts in reference to a mat-
ter which has had a strong tend-
ency to embitter the public mind
against both courts and lawyers.
We refer to the excessive allow-
ances made by some courts to
receiversof defunct banking in-
‘ stitutions and their attorneys.
We direct attention to receiv-
erships of banking institutions
only for the reason that in such
cases the allowances are more
excessive and the people inter-
ested in the results are deposi-
tors as well as ordinary commer-
cial 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 re-
vert to this discussion when our
attention was called to the case
of: People v. Knickerbocker
Trust Company, 111 N. Y. Supp.
2.
- The defendantin the case, The
Knickerbocker Trust Company,
was the great banking institu-
tion of New York City upon
which the notorious and spectac-
ular 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-

ally watched the proceedings
with jealousy and_ suspicion.
And well they did as the facts in
the principal case indicate a most
reprehensible understanding be-
tween the directors and the re-
ceivers to permit the latter to
exaet excessive fees for their
services.
The amount demanded by the
receivers and agreed to by the
attorneys representing the di-
rectors was $75,000 for each of
three receivers appointed, and
$75,000 for counsel who repre-
sented them, or a totalof $300,-
000 of money belonging to wid-
ows and orphans and to hard
working men and women of
small means! The lower court,
unobservant as such’ courts us-
ually 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 pro-
ceeding 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 sat-
isfied that the court below had
acted wisely within its discre-
tionary powers in the premises.
But Justice Gaynor, one of the
greatest judges on the New York
supreme bench, Apellate Divi-
sion, 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 condem-
nation used by Justice Gaynor in
setting aside these allowances
will sound strange to many law-
yers who consider it proper to
exact excessive fees for their
own services and recommend
equally outrageous allowances
for receivers whom they repre-
sent and should go ringing
through the land as a note of
THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN
warning against judicial extrav-
azance in the handling of other
people’s money which happens
for the time being and for one
reason or another to be in cus-
\todia legis.
| After dismissing the other
‘points in the case with a single,
short paragraph, the’ learned
judge who wrote the opinion,
proceded as follows:
“But the amount allowed for
compensation and expenses in
this proceding was so grossly ex-
cessive as to amount to a spolia-
tion 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 dis-
trust of the administration of
justice. The temporary receiv-
ers 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 dispro-
portionate as not to wear the ap-
pearance of unhampered judicial
discretion and judgment, but of
having been arranged by agree-
ment between the temporary re-
ceivers and the directors of the
trust company, and adopted by
the court inadvertently, or with-
out 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 pro-
vided the trust company con-
sented, which its officers prompt-
ly did. Inasmuch as the trust
duty of the directiors 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 compensa-
tionn as fixed below. It im-
parts 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
allin 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
toa proper sum. It is is not dif-
ficult for a court to see what the
compensation should be without
the aid of a reference. The or-
der 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 affrmed.””
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 ex-
travagance, inspire renewed con-
fidence 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 lawye!
should receive $300,000 of thei
hard earnings for five months'
work, and to have allowed it t
stand would, in the language o!
Justice Gaynor, have implantec
general distrust of the adminis
tration of justice. Such distrus
has already been implanted ir
many jurisdictions which canno
boast a judiciary as watchful a
_ the court in the principal cas
~ and who accede to the demand
~ of lawyers and receivers withou
' comment or objection. We ar
S hopeful however, that trial court
. all over the land will soon awak
” the fact that if they desire to re
tain the confidence of the peo
r ple they must not accede to a re
, ceiver’s demands for allowance
1 for their services which are s
, disproportionate not to wear th
appearance of unhampered judi
, cial discretion and judgment. -

The Honeymooners
Geo. M. Cohan’s ‘‘The Honey-
mooners’’ which comes to the
Grand on Sunday, has been play-
ing all sumner at the New Am-
sterdam Theater, New York at
$2 prices, and the attraction
would be playing yet were it not
for the syndicate booking. Af-
ter the present road tour ‘‘The
Honeymoonars’’ returns to the
New Amsterdam for a long en-
gagement. Of all the Cohan
song shows ‘‘The Honeymoon-
ers’’ has proven the most suc-
cessful and the best supported.
It has cleared a fortune for the
young author, and placed hi:
great reputation upon firn
ground, Had he produced noth
ing else he would be accounted
among the dramatist and com:
poser stars. ‘‘The Honeymoon
ers’’ comes on the road with its
complete metropolitan produc-
tion 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 pol-
ities and sport and mistaken
identity in a Vermont town.
Cohan proves himself a master
of melody and of satire. ‘The
Honeymooners’’ is good humor-
ed throughout but as a presenta-
tion of rural village types it has
no equal. The local engagement
will be one of the most interest-
ing 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 up-
town 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 south-
ern families that have lasted un-
tilone or the other was wiped
out by death. But in this inci-
dent the reverse is true. Cupid
enters into the field and two of
the feud families are brought to-
gether,through love and the feud
is ended for all time. The com-
edy 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 Mc-
Kinley an Incompetent ?’’ asks
the Seattle Times. Not by any
means, your 1896 editorials to
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 Port-
land, Oregon, reminds one of
just how many mean men can
crowd iito 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 notwith-
standing, andasa 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 Republi-
can 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 controver-
sey.
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 com-
pared Bryan tothe immortal Lin-
coln we are surprised that the
the tomb of Lincoln did not
burst its walls at least long
enough to permit its distin-
guished 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
jong through the month.
“Shall The Courts Rule?”
asks the Union Record of Seattle.
Of course unless you want an-
archy to rule, which you for
the most part seem to favor.
If it be true that the whale in-
atead 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.

but even at a premium. The
transaction was made by a fes-
tive 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.
Husbandsin the state of Wash-
ington, 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 mar-
ried Bessie Hall it is said they
lived happily together, but, they
foolishly married, and their troub-
les 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 op-
erate.
Both Agnew and Brier claim
that they have better jobs offer-
ed them right now if they would
only resign their present posi-
tions 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 un-
easy lest the county go to the
dimnation bow wows if they
leave the court house.
Political Pointers
Hoth Taft and Bryanare in the
West just now doing the cam-
paign act. According to former
political ethics as to the parta
candidate for the presidency
should play in his election, they
are both down and out.
There seems to be no particu-
lar need for either national com-
mittee and it would not be amiss
to cut them both out from fur-
ther 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 lo-
cated for the past two cam-
paigns, 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 recogniz’ J. C.
Higgins as committeeman from
King county, which means that
the committee will remain ir
‘stata quo.

WIELIAM. BISHOP
Who will return to the House
of Representatives from Jeffer-
son 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 bal-
lots for state offices is in pro-
gress. No startling changes
have been discovered as yet, but
it wlll 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 Demo-
‘eratic ticket it will not be because
he did not work late and early
with that aim. He is already
speaking twice a night so num-
erous are his calls.
Democrats all over the country
are absolutely certain that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has lowered the
dignity of the presidential office,
allof which may be true froma
Democratic standpoint, but he
has raised it from a Republican
stand-point.
Democrats are spreading the
apathetic story, whichis said to
exist among Republicans with
the hope that the Republicans
will fall into doubting themselves.
, Bryan seems to have the sup-
port of the trusts, and yet the la-
boring folks do not seem to see
it. . Mr. Rockefeller does not
seem to think Bryanis so bad af-
ter all.
Judge Orange Jacobs an-
nouncss 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 danger-
ous 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 Jer-
sey, 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 resigr--
ing 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 sen-
sational. The climaxes are force-
ful and the situations keep one’s
pulse moving a bit beyond the
normal. The wreck scene is a
marvel of stage craft and me-
enanical enginuity; while the
numerous scenes laid in the
Rockies are strikingly different
and happily arranged. The at-
mosphere is exhilarating and the
company is much above the ordi-
nary, assuring a well acted play.
Scenically it is the biggest offer-
ing of the season.

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.

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

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-

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.

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-

The Sunday Forum, an organization among the Afro-Americans of this city, which has been existence for the past years, has begun the work of another year. Its annual election of officers will be held next Sunday afternoon at the Afrc-American hall. Those at the head of the organization have planned a number of new features for the ensuing year, and one of them is, the organizing of a Home Improvement Club, which will foster and encourage the beautifying of the homes and the yards among the Afro-Americans. Such a club cannot get at its work a day too soon as it will soon be time for the planting of spring bulbs and sweet peas.
