Seattle Republican

PUBLICAN THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1909. So far as the incorporated towns of the state are concerned they not only have local option, but actual prohibition if a majority of the voters demand and vote for it under the present laws and why not let well enough alone. If there is a disposition to have the county unit local option outside of the incorporated cities and towns of a county then let them have it." Acting Governor Hay may be absolutely correct in his statement that, George F. Cotterill is the only Republican senator in the legislature from Governor Hay's King county, but we suspect that Senator Cotterill will not take the state Only Republican. a fact that he at one time was quite a Republican, but that has been a long time ago and he has been so many different things since that time that he does not now entertain the faintest remembrance of the taste of Republicanism. If Cotterill is the only real Republican senator from King county then we very seriously doubt the Republicanism of Acting Governor Hay himself. We do not believe that Gov. Hay is doing his party any good by declaring in public that a rank Democrat, one even more erratic than William Jennings Bryan himself has the only correct idea of genuine Republicanism. Mr. Cotterill is a very brilliant man, we admit, but he nevertheless is a cotton mouth Democrat with all of the objectional features that that ism is given to. It has been argued that if the women of the state of Washington were given the right to vote they would immediately put the state in the Are the Women prohibition column. They might Natural Prohibitionists? and then they might not, but if you take those states where wo- men have the full right of suffrage as criterions they would not. In Colorado, Utah and Idaho the women have the right to vote and verily do vote and each of those states is not only free from prohibition, but practically free from prohibition agitation. Women are no more fanatical or even emotional than men and if given time to duly consider any matter in which the people or the community as a whole are interested they generally act as wisely as men under like circumstances. Of course, hundreds and thousands of women in this state are for prohibition, but on the other hand hundreds and thousands are against it. A strenuous effort was made in the house of representatives last Tuesday to practically abandon the miserable old shack better known as the Populist Capitol state capitol building. Those opposing the further expenditure of state funds on the present state capitol Not Popular. The editor of the Waterville Press takes a very sensible view of the liquor question, which is agitating the minds of the people of Washington at the present time. He believes that the mere act of taking a glass of whiskey, beer or wine Country Editor Has a Sensible View. The little city of Georgetown, a city within a city being wholly surrounded by Greater Seattle—has been all excitement for the past week lest does not constitute a crime in itself. But it is the excess that makes the injury. Continuing, he adds: "No individual is doing justice to his fellow man who does a thing injurious to himself or to his neighbor. There is a reason to all things and bounds beyond which one can not pass. It is the excess in drinking, the excess in horse racing, and even in religion that makes the thing intolerant."—Odessa Record. Georgetown Sends Carle to Olympia. that city to register protests against such a drastic measure and they selected the Hon. W. A. Carle, a former member of the legislature, to go to Olympia and there battle for the cause of Georgetown. In selecting Mr. Carle the citizens of that berg made no mistake, as he during the past week has seen and reseen every senator with the hope of not only killing it in the senate, but go a step further and smother it in the committee room. Mr. Carle is well and favorably known and the senators have shown him every consideration and he believes he has the bill beaten. When Senator Booth announced he had decided to stand for a renomination for state senator from the Thirty-seventh Senatorial district the Odessa Record. The Prohibiti sweeping victory. The Prohibitionists are pluming themselves on a sweeping victory. They declare that no wine, even, shall be drank. Of course, if they win, the taxes per capital will be heavier. Will the churches agree to taxation to help out? No! They Prohibition Mania Being Checked. Prohibition Mania Being Checked. would sacrifice prohibition and everything else before submitting. How easy to wear the crown if the other fellow bears the cross! Of course, liquor is a curse. But think of the curse of stagnation waiting upon the sudden closing of distilleries and breweries. The very idea is so absurd that I can't believe it will be realized. Every disease that is rooted in time is the same. It cannot be rooted up violently. Time is needed to cure any distemper of long standing. As to compromising with vice, who does not compromise with something? The Prohibitionists have the unlimited gall to throw bouquets at themselves because they abolished the army canteen. The army canteen's abolishing is the cause of untold horror. Since its close, low groggeries dispensing worse than poison have sprung up at the very gates of the Presidio. Drunkenness, I hear, has increased one hundred per cent.—From San Francisco News-Letter. When the senate passed the bill which has for its object the assessing of railroad terminals in the counties in which they actually exist and County Assessment Railway Terminals. Parish declares it was a move in the direction to save to King county something like $200,000 per annum. Smaller counties do not look favorably on the proposition as each and every one of them will lose not less than $15,000 annually if the bill becomes a law. Representatives from those small counties argue that the railroad terminals belong to every county in the state and not to some individual county despite the fact that terminals may be wholly within such individual county. Before the senate committee on labor large numbers of business men and labor leaders appeared last Wednesday evening to discuss the eight-hour law for women now pending in the senate, and despite the fact the various branches of organized labor had their hired agitators there to misrep close, low grogger sprung up at the ness, I hear, has in San Francisco New Labor Agitators vs. Business Men.

The state treasurer has to receive whatever moneys the various officials turn over to him without knowing or having the right to ask any questions as to the correctness of the account. A shortage might exist in one of the state offices and not be known during the time said official held the office and such a thing might be possible to so cover it up that it would run on and on until the books were experted and such a thing has not been done since I have been in office. The proposed system would make it possible to hold a complete check on not only all state, but on all county and city offices. dollars under the present state law regulating that office, and we would not be surprised if the committee does not recommend that the state discontinue its present printing methods and in lieu thereof recommend that the state purchase its own plant and that the printing department be under the supervision of a regularly appointed superintendent, the same as the other state institutions. When a state appointee can clear up fifty or sixty thousand dollars from an appointive position then you can bet your last dollar that the taxpayers are getting robbed. Woman suffrage ran the gauntlet of the senate last Tuesday like a half slide in a deep snow and the women who were working for its passage can compliment themselves for their clever work. Their clever work, however was not in the number of senators they actually brought to the assistance of their bill, but in having early in the session enlisted the sympathies of Senator George U. Piper to their cause. He was not one of those senators that had taken on to himself the that it would run on and such a thing in office.

Sepech making in the senate so far as the present session is concerned has outlived its day of usefulness and Senator Cotterill should take a Hot Air Period tumble to himself. Speech making has won its spurs and the time for actual work has arrived. The legislature still has an opportunity to make good and if it will get down to brass tacks from now, on it will do so. Whenever a member of either the senate or house rises now and begins making a set speech all of his colleagues get busy with other matters and it is with difficulty that the presiding officer keeps them quiet enough for the speaker to hear himself divest himself of his over-supply of hot air. The man in the legislature that speaks to exceed one minute on any subject should be forced to subscribe for The Seattle Republican.

If the building as was planned on the old capitol building site were erected the state would have something to be proudof and a building that would be of some lasting as well as serviceable benefit to the taxpayers. When the new building will have been completed the old should be used for an insane asylum.

While we are unable to speak with authority, yet so reasonably sure are we that he will be beaten so badly that he himself will hardly remember that he also ran, we suggest that his fellow senators had as well begin to bade him a final farewell as a state senator. Mr. Booth won his nomination under the old convention system and at the suggestion of Samuel H. Piles, then a candidate for United States senator. Since that time the old convention system has been supplanted by the direct primary system and Sam Piles, despite the fact he was elected, has lost political caste not only in the Thirty-seventh Senatorial district, but all over the county. Booth himself has not popularized himself with his constituents, hence he is as certain of defeat as if he were already defeated. resent laboring men, the business men seem to have gotten the best of the argument. In the places of business which they represented the girls and women worked either by the hour or the piece and all of them were opposed to the enactment of a law that would cut them out of two hours work for which they were amply paid just to appease a few labor agitators of the Frank Cotterill stripe, who is always ready to shorten the number of working hours, but increase the number of dollars to be received for those fewer working hours.

W. T. GAFNER, Plaintiff, Office Address, 457 Arcade Blvd., Seattle, Washington. Written publication, February 26. Last publication, April 9. David B. Hill, ex-Governor of and Senator from New York, has a secluded hatter somewhere in the state who makes his high hats after elaborate plans drawn by Mr. Hill many years ago, and not changed since. One night Governor Odell, of New York, was giving a reception in Albany, and Mr. Roosevelt, then elected Vice-President, met Mr. Hill on the steps of the New York executive mansion. Roosevelt wore a black roughrider hat and Hill had one of his peculiar sky-pieces. "Senator," said Roosevelt, "you should wear a hat like this one that I have one. They are much easier on the head, preserve the hair and are altogether better than silk ones." Mr. Hill looked at the coming Vice-President. "My dear sir," he said, "I haven't worn a hat like that since I went out of the show business."—Rochester Herald "I was only acting the part of peace-maker," explained the prisoner. "But you knocked the man senseless with a stich," the magistrate pointed out. "Sure I did," was the answer. "There was no other way to 'ave peace with 'im around." —Exchange. Spokane building laws will be revised at once, and the city commissioners, consisting of John Wetzel, City Engineer J. C. Ralston, and Building Inspector Geo. W. Mackie and one chosen architect will soon get together and draft a building ordinance adequate to the growing needs of the Power City. The value of the mineral products of the United States in 1907 reached the enormous total of $2,069,289,196, surpassing the value of the same products in 1906 by $165,282,162, or 8.68 per cent, that of 1905 by 27.33 per cent, and of 1904 by 58.81 per cent.

Jim Wickersham seems to have the fighting disease. Does Senator Cotterill love to hear himself talk? Bryan's acceptance precludes a struggle among the Democrats. That north tunnel cave-in proved a rather dark and foreboding proposition. Would-Be President Bryan had a better opinion of Gov. Haskell than did the Federal grand jury. Sheriff Hodge is a reformer with a vengeance and if he keeps on he will sprout into gubernatorial timber before four years roll around. In case of an extra session of the legislature the taxpayers will realize what it means to buy Hay out of season for so many members. The cold trust and the coal trust both seem to have it in for the poor people, as each have been working overtime to do them up this season. Of course, Frank Cotterill is for humanity if it happens to be wrapped up in a white skin, but to hell with all other kind always sounds good to him. Sumptuary laws have become so common to Kansas that her legislature is trying to make it a penal offense for a white man to marry out of his class. Think of the untold suffering such a law would bring about. Local Politician Dies. William Connor, a well known Seattle politician, and who two years ago was sergeant at arms of the tenth legislature of this state, passed over the great beyond one day this week, after a brief illness. He has been more or less a factor in the politics of the Third ward of this city for a number of years and that being a part of the thirty-seventh senatorial district he sometime ago announced his intention of making a fight for the nomination of state senator. His death leaves, so far as is now known, Robert F. Booth, Frank C. Jackson, W. G. Potts, E. B. Palmer and Howard Sweeney seeking the nomination for state senator to succeed Booth whose successor will be elected in 1910. LIFE'S SUNNY SIDE. A woman journalist at the Colony Club was praising Mrs. Taft. "She will form a salon at the White House," said the journalist. "Washington, under her regime, will become the center of art and letters, as well as the center of politics." "She deplored during my interview the scorn of culture that marks our ultra-smart set. She said it had not always been so. She cited Harriet Lane Johnston --- as a typical society woman of culture in the past. "When Miss Lane," she said, "lived in London with her uncle, the Ambassador, an English nobleman was most attentive to her one night at dinner. "Miss Lane's hands were very beautiful. The nobleman, gently touching one of them as it lay on the cloth, quoted Gray: '‘Hands that the rod of empire might have swayed.’ Miss Lane's smiling retort was the completion of the couplet: '‘Or wake to ecstacy the living lyre.’' —Washington Herald. A country correspondent for a Kentucky newspaper once found himself in the mountains of that state looking for items of interest to his journal. "There ain't a bit of news," said the farmer. "All down this way are too busy with their crops to think of anything else." "Fine crops this year, eh?" asked the correspondent. "Couldn't be better," asserted the farmer. "I oughter be in my field right now, an' I would be only I come to town to see the coroner." "Yes; he's wanted to hold an inquest on a couple of fellers in our place." "Accident?" "I reckon not! Ran Morgan ain't doin' nuthin' like that by accident! He got Jim Jeffords an' his brother Tom with two shots! Got to have an inquest though." "What led to the fight?" "There wa'n't no fight. Ran never give the other fellers any chance to make it a fight. Jes' hid behind a tree an' give it to 'em as they come along." "No. What's the use? Some o' the Jeffords people come along, burned down Ran's house, shot him an' his wife, an' set fire to his barn. No, Ran ain't been arrested. But I ain't got time to stand heah talkin' to you. Got to git back to my harvestin'. But there ain't any news down our way. Ef anything happens I'll let you know."—Harper's Weekly. Walter Ward Biller tells the following story about a hardware store in St. Louis which advertised for an errand boy. As it happened the boss was talking to a customer when a boy came in. Thinking he wanted to buy something, he excused himself, and, going over to the boy, asked him what he could do for him. The boy told him that he came in answer to his advertisement and asked for the job. Well, of course, the boss got made for being disturbed while he was talking to a customer. He said ot the boy, "You go outside and walk a block. If I call you back, why, I will hire you; if I don't, why, you just keep right on walking." The boy did as he was told, but, going out, he picked up a shovel that was standing near the door, put it on his back and started down the street. Before he had gone ten feet the old man was after him, yelling: "Come back! Come back!" The boy came back, took off his coat, and asked where he wanted him to work—downstairs or upstairs, or where. The man took one good look at him and said: "I guess I'll hire you. Never mind putting your coat on. Start right in."—Judge. TH REPUBLICAN BENCH AND BAR. The large amount of work of the supreme court has necessitated some plan of relief. No officers of the State have worked harder during late years than the judges of this court. There is some question however as to whether relief should come in the shape of increasing the membership of the court. Some think a court of nine members would be unwieldy and that an intermediate court, would better serve the purpose. It is said that other states have found the latter method preferable. Be that as it may, it is quite generally conceded that material relief could be had by raising the juriditional amount necessary to appeal a case to the supreme court. At present any law case involving over $200 can be appealed to the supreme court, and an equity case of any kind may be so appealed even if only a dollar is in controversy. This permits many small cases to reach that court and consume the time of the judges and other officers of the court to the great expense of the taxpayers. The constitution it is thought might be wisely changed so as to permit no civil cases to be appealed to the supreme court unless it involved $400 or $500 or some question of the validity of a statute or tax or some constitutional question or right. It is also suggested by good lawyers that the justices courts might be given jurisdiction up to $300. This, would keep many cases out of the superior court that now are required to be brought there. It would save money both for litigants and tax payers and make justice more speedy. It is often called 'the poor man's court' and its door shall be open as wide as possible to people of limited means. Scandalum Magnatum. The proceedings against the New York World by the federal government for criminal libel because of charges made against government officials with respect to the purchase of the French interests in the Panama canal, are so unusual as to demand some comment even from a law periodical, which usually withholds comment until the final disposition of the cause. Without, however, touching on the merits of any issues of fact involved, or excusing in the least any moral turpitude which may attach to the action of a newspaper in carelessly charging government officials with criminal motives and conduct, we desire to make use of the occasion to discuss certain interesting questions which arise in connection therewith. A few observations on the offense of "scandalum magnatum." We do not say that this proceeding is based on this theory. But, in much of the discussion of this unusual proceeding the question has been asked. Does the fact that the alleged libelous charges were made against the president of the United States or against the government acting through its various departments, make the offense more heinous than it otherwise would be, or make that an offense which would not be an offense if directed against an ordinary individual? Under the common law offense of "scandalum magnatum" there would be such a distinction. At common law it was an indictable offense to bring the government into disrepute, or any of its officers, and that was made an offense when spoken against a public officer which would not be an offenss if spoken against an ordinary individual. This rule was crystallized into statutory form, making it an offense to publish false news whereby discord might grow up between the king and his people. 3 Edw. I, c. 34. See also 2 Rich. II. St. I. c. 5; 12 Rich. II. c. 11. In strong contrast stands forth the rule of the civil law,—that system of law, to which, says Hon. Hannis Taylor in his Science of Jurisprudence, all the nations of the world are gradually turning, as being based on the most unalterable and most widely applicable principles governing human conduct. Thus in the Theodosian Code it was expressly declared that slanders of majesty should be unpunished, for, if this proceeded from levity, it was to be despised; if from madness, it was to be pitied; and, if from malice, it was to be forgiven. And in Patterson on Liberty of Press. p. 87, it is related that "Emperor Agustus desired to punished a historian who passed some stinging jests on him and his family, but Maccenas advised him that the best policy was to let such things pass and be forgotten. Ceasar also said that to retaliate was only to contend with impudence and put oneself on the same level." The soundness of the Roman law over the rule at common law is clearly apparent, notwithstanding the able contention to the contrary of Justice W. C. Marshall in the case of State v. Shepherd (Mo.), 76 S. W. I. c. 83, where the Missouri supreme court attempted to revive this offense as a basis upon which to punish an editor for a general libel upon the court. The contention in the Shepherd case is clearly error so far as it gives a court any ground for proceeding against a person for constructive contempt where the charge against the court, though malicious and false, is not in relation to any controversy depending before the court. This, we think, we clearly showed in 57 Cent. L. J. 101, 402, and supported by many authorities. The rule of the civil law is clearly in harmony with the policy of Ameriean institutions, while the rule of the common law like so many of the rules of law proceeding from that source has all the crudities of that savage era of monarchical autocracy in whichit had its birth, still clinging to it. The Massachusetts supreme court definitely rejected the doctrine in a case where a member of the legislature relied upon it, alleging that the dignity of the commonwealth was attacksd where members of the legislacere were assaulted in relation to their transaction of the public business. Sillars v. Collier, 151, Mass. 50, 23 N. E. 723, 6 L. R. A. 680. This same abhorrence of this principle is shown by the attitude of the American people toward all sedition legislation that has from time to time been proposed. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1909 Thus when John Adams was president, congress passed a sedition law, making it an offense to libel the government, congress or the president. The law met with fierce opposition and was so foreign to the policies of our laws that many able lawyers pronounced it unconstitutional and it was quickly repealed. See Cooley's Const. Lim. (6th Ed.) p. 526. It is quite apparent that the old common law offense of "scandalum magnatum" was left behind when our fathers planted the principles of civil liberty and equality on the shores of the newly-discovered continent. And in England as well as this country this old rule has now given place to the rule of the civil law that there can be no libel of the government or of government officials as such. It is thereforoe no greater offense to libel Theodore Roosvelt as president than it is to libel Theodore Roosevelt, the private citizen, unless the charges amount to treason or the subversion of all constituted authority, as the preaching of anarchy. It is no greater wrong to criticise the government than it is to speak evil of a private citizen. State v. Kaiser, 20 Oreg. 50. AngloSaxon barbarism affirmed the contrary and the old Tower of London witnessed the sufferings of men who dared to raise their voices against the king. Roman civilization, on the other hand, declared the rule that the dignity of the government demanded that such insults be unnoticed. And the rule of the civil law is recognized to-day as the rule of a higher civilization than that out of which grew the doctrine of "scandalum magnatum."Central Law Journal, Short Strange Stories. A seventy-five year old woman in Virginia has sued her husband for a divorce alleging cruelty. The couple has been married over thirty years, The legislature of the state of Texas has passed a law against official nepotism. In future it will be a criminal offense for any official to name any of his relatives to position in his jurisdiction. It might be well for other states to enact a similar law. In making report of a train wreck in a southern city the local manager of the road in reporting the matter, denied that there was a single human life lost in the wreck, but. he concluded: "Two niggers were killed." Evansville, Indiana, has a young man who was married at the age of fourteen to a girl thirteen. They have been married two years and a few days ago they were divorced on the grounds of incompatability. They have a child one year old. A colored woman in a southern city was placed under peace bonds and warned that if she licked her husband again she would be fined ten dollars. For the next few weeks the woman was seen working day and night at whatever wages she could get. "Are you working to keep out of trouble? anxiously inquired another woman. No. I am working to earn ten dollars." Its useless to add her husband got the promised licking and the court the hard earned ten dollars, but revenge is sweet, sayeth the Lord of Hosts. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1909. THE PASSING THRONG. Before another issue of The Seattle Republican will have reached its readers the United States government will have undergone its quadrenial change in rulers and the most strenuous president the United States has ever had will have retired to private life. Teddy the terrible will have been succeeded by Taft, the toiler. President Roosevelt is to truly retire to private life and in order to completely do so he proposes to spend the first year of his retirement in Africa hunting big game and studying conditions in that country and the second year in visiting other governments. Few men in the world as much absorbed in statecraft as has been President Theodore Roosevelt for the past eight years could so completely absolve themselves as he will do and lose himself in the jungles of Africa where the daily paper and its press dispatches can not be seen. There is not the slightest doubt but that President Roosevelt nominated and elected William Howard Taft as his successor, but he seems to think that completes his mission and Mr. Taft will have to take care of himself after he has been inaugurated. In closing his two terms as president Theodore Roosevelt has won for himself the plaudits of the civilized world. Of course the Rockefellers, Harrimans and other government looters rebuke him and their only reason for doing so is because he stopped them from actually appropriating the United States government to their private and personal use. Already President-elect Taft has made two selections for his cabinet from the South, thus showing very conclusively that, he proposes to make greater inroads on the Solid South, politically speaking, than the mere eating of all her "possum and taters up." Mr. Taft may find even another man from the South for his cabinet and thus break the record since the administration of President Buchanan. There is a disposition among the leading men of the North to break down the section lines between the North and the South, the results of the Great Civil War, but the South is obdurate and seems inclined to cling to her idols, and as an example, but a few days ago the damphools of Mississippi, Oklahoma and other states of the South refused to honor Lincoln's BELLINGHAM NORMAL EMBROGLIO Someone has said that "When thieves fall out honest men get their own." The quotation may not be wholly applicable to the ugly situation that now exists at the state normal located at Bellingham, and yet if a tenth of the charges and counter charges of misfeasance in office respectively by the principal and two of the teachers against each other be true then there is far more truth than poetry in the accusations. Principal Mathes called the attention of the board to statements made by the two teachers in question derogatory to himself as well as to the school, all of which he was able to convince the board were absolutely false and for the offense the board dropped their names from the roll of teachers. Stung by the rebuke the principal had been able to administer to them the teachers retaliated by charging Principal Mathes with official corruption of such a serious nature that a legislative investigation may be the result. As to either the facts or the alleged facts the public is without any evidence and nothing save a searching investigation will prove beyond a question of doubt which side is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, if either. Principal Mathes is one of the leading educators of the Northwest, if not the Pacific Coast, and he is to be credited with the high state of efficiency that the school has attained since his connection therewith. That, however, does not preclude the possibility of him having done things not laid down in either the rules or the curriculum. To err is human and why not him the same as the other fellow. Let the public have all the facts. It has been charged on the floor of the State Senate that every institution in the State should be investigated, and in view of the normal school trouble it would not be a bad idea. Taft After Solid South. THEODORE ROOSEVELT memory by declaring his birthday a legal holiday. White Mobs in United States. Last Monday's press dispatches told of mobs in both Iowa and Nebraska made up of what we are pleased to term "white men" attacking in both cases a weaker people living in their midst. It is so common for the intelligent, cultured and Christian white men of the United States to take umbrage at some alleged offense committed by Negroes and mass themselves together and massacre every Negro that they see that it no longer causes even comment, but the outbreak against the Greeks in Omaha was unexpected. Property valued at $25,000 was destroyed and a score or more persons injured. [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie, set against a large building with a high roof and multiple chimneys.] EDWARD T. MATHES. PRINCIPAL STATE NORMAL, BELLINGHAM. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THEODORE ROOSEVELT While the mob was at white heat threats were made against the Japanese laborers of the town, but the dirty cowards remembering the Japanese government had men of war ready to sail for the United States and so they let their better judgment prevail and the Japs were not disturbed. Jim Wickersham With Us. Either James Wickersham, the deelgate to Congress from Alaska, is the most monumental scoundrel or he is one of the most maligned men that ever hybernated in the Alaskan territory. Despite the fact that Jim Wickersham, while he was judge of Alaska, was accused of either having actually committed every manner of crime known to the territory or having eir own." that now th of the the prin- far more attention compounded the crimes of others, yet he stood for delegate to Congress last year and beat his opponents so badly that they were hardly able to say, "I also ran." Mr. Wickersham arrived in Seattle one day last week, direct from Fairbanks and he was received by a local committee of Seattleites with open arms and was subsequently tendered one of the most brilliant banquets ever seen in the history of the city. Let's hope that the man is a truly good man and will prove himself so in the halls of Congress. Got a Deserving Blow. Detective Lee Barbee, of the Seattle police force, for once did not get his man, but it was no fault of his intentions for as usual he shot 5 to kill a human being. This slaughterer of human beings by laying in wait for his victims, then deliberately shooting them down without warning and then covering up his revolting crime with his official cloak, it seems, fixed himself last Friday evening and went out for human game and he was not long in finding an excuse in using his gun. He, however, did not exactly kill his man, but he did his best. In the melee Lee got badly used and as a result he is now nursing a fractured jaw and other bruises about his body. If there is an unprincipled whelp in all the world it is Lee Barbee and it is to be regretted that, it was not his neck instead of his jaw that was broken. Uncle Sam's Fleet Home. The great nations of the world have all seen Uncle Sam's navy and judging from what the American newspapers have to say about it, all of the nations were greatly impressed with them, yea not only impressed, but in many instances were even overawed at the sight of the great human destroyers. After encircling the globe the men of war are all safe and sound again in Hampton roads from whence they started something over a year ago. In the course of the trip these men of war were called upon to render some assistance to the earthquake sufferers in Italy and they did it so well that, the Italian government through its king and queen personally thanked the officers for the service rendered. Aside from that nothing has been gained or accomplished by this long cruise. Nations who had never seen the fighting contrivances of Uncle Sam are perhaps willing to join with those who had not only seen them, but likewise felt them is now of a like opinion that, Uncle Sam is a fighting little cuss, but what does that prove or gain for Uncle Sam as a civilized gentleman? Cuba for Cubans is a slogan on that island just now. If Uncle Sam had not interfered it would still be Cuba for Spanish grafters. Some folk so soon forget from whence they came. It has been very generally conceded that a cat has nine lives and from the number of times Charles E. Coon bobs up after he has been put to sleep the Coon, from a life standpoint, should be classed along with the cat. --- IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE of Washington, for King County. Edna I.

Oh, Commodore Perry, he opened their ports, A fact that no body denies- But it's J. Ham Lewis, the Brummel of Courts, That's a-going to open their eyes. West Side Ballads He passed within the ancient temple In fashion courtly and beguiling; He left the throng at worship dazzled And all the Buddha stones smiling. —Yamalo Tahiras The cable wednesday night bore the momentous news that Colonel J. Hamilton Lewis was in Tokio. He is there and the Japanese have beheld him. Henceforth let the nations rest at ease The magic of his presence will cause discord to flee. Fondly the fancy dwells on the scene which must have been presented when Colonel Lewis, in all his pink-whiskered effulgence, entered the land. What multitudinous bows to right and left, with smiles whose radiance caused the snows on Fuji-Yama's top to thaw most visibly, with a glad welcoming light in his eye, and withal, bearinr himself in such a fashion that the assembled samurai felt like novices, must the distinguished visitor have made his advent. We can see in the mind's eye the little Japanese women looking forth from their houses and saying: "Can it be that spring has come so soon again?" We We can hear the cherry trees perplexedly inquiring of each other: "Is not the time for blossoming once more upon us?" And most significant of all, in the temples and at the wayside shrines, we fancy we witness the bronze Buddha relaxing the contemplative seriousness of centuries and smiling broadly, while remarking: "Well, he is simply great." There can be no question that before Colonel Lewis has been long in the land the samuari will be imploring him to organize classes and teach them. They will understand how crude there forms and courtesies are when compared with his marvelous art. Then upon Colonel Lewis will be laid the sad necessity of telling them that it cannot be imparted. A Japanese girl learns the "tea service" in several years. A Japanese man could not learn the J. Hamilton Lewis way in a life time. And when the imperious duty of ornamenting the landscape of his native country recalls Colonel Lewis from his Oriental triumphs the memory of him is sure to be kept green. For generations the Japanese mothers will no doubt hold him up as an example in the art of courteous ceremonial. The student of Japanese literature a thousand years from now will surely come on innumerable poems dedicated to the "Serene and Honorable Lord of the Universe and Companion of the Sun," What fragments of his art the nobility have been able to gather during his stay there will of course be preserved and zealously handed down. The dispatch does not say whether Colonel Lewis is officially authorized to settle all difficulties with Japan. But even if he is not, he will be in no wise hampered. Official authorizations in his case are superfluous. His marvelous manners are what do the work and those he has always with him. Chicago Inter Ocean. CURRENT COMMENT. JUVENILE MOONSHINERS under the age of ten, are not only making things lively for the officers of York, a settlement in the "dark corner" of South Carolina, but are demonstrating the fact that, young America will imitate the actions of old America be they either worthy or criminal. BALD HEADS in New York are accusing the women of having so much curiosity to see what the men might see that they attend sensational plays there by making a full house which promotes the continuation of the same. The club women, the sufferagists and the anti-sufferigists, are up in arms and reply with a whole sale criticism of the bald heads who nightly flock to these sensational and suggestive plays, and as soon as an act is over, pile out again. Everyone knows that these bald heads do rush to these plays and every one knows that they do pile out as soon as the act is over. But whe is to blame that such plays are staged? Why, goodness only knows.. "WEDDED IN SHOW window, now divorced in court" runs a headline from a Shelbyville, Indiana, paper. There should be no surprise attending this statement for it is a foregone conclusion that a couple who would have their nuptials solemnized in a show window for the cheap notoriety or meager moneyed consideration there might be in it, could have but a slight conception of what the marriage vows imply. A JAPANESE farmer who has a rench on the Ridge tract near Sacramento, has borne off the honors for potato raising. He shipped the largest load of potatoes ever grown on one ranch. The farmer is one George Shima and in this shipment were 6,000 sacks valued at $13,000 and all consigned to one company. That's making spuds sprout some, alright. AMERICAN schools form one of the gregtest of her industries, and for conducting this business $442,000,000 is expended yearly. The teachers consume $240,000,000 and $80,000,000 each year is used to provide for buildings. Over one-fifth of the population of the United States are enrolled as pupils in the schools. The number of teachers employed in the common schools in the school year ended June, 1907, was 475,000. Of these 370,000 were women. The average school year is now much longer than in former times, now being 150 days. when we consider the volume of books, of stationery., of school supplies for all this army of 19,000,000 school children we are impressed with the enormous economical and commercial importance of the school system. HIGH PRICES for the necessities of life in the United States is felt by every one. Skilled housewives yearly seek to hue closer to the line in the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN way of keeping down expenses, but even that does not make the pot boil, and the outlook is gloomy among the poorer classes. Corn, oats, barley, and wheat, have steadily risen in price since 1897 consequently labor by farm animals is much higher than ever before. The cost of building material has also increased, so consequently for the laboring man who wishes to get a suburban or rural home, so as to stop extortionate city rents there arises another difficulty. Coal, lard and pork, have also risen in price until there is little to compare with their price save the necessity for the same. Butter, eggs, sugar, canned fruits, canned vegetables and condensed milk, articles most needed for daily table use have shown quite a percentage of increase. Many causes have been suggested for this great increase in the cost of living. One argument is that the price of foodstuffs has risen of late because the managnet and the productiveness of the farms have not kept pace with the tide which has swept into the big cities from the rural districts. Whatever the cause it is easy to see an impending disastrous result. As the price for living increases the influence of the home inviorment decreases. Father must go earlier and stay later, Brother is started on his business career earlier, sister shortens her school work to help contribute, and in many instances even mother has to leave her younger children to the guidance of an older child so that she may also add to the amount necessary to make ends meet and save a nest egg for the rainy day which sooner or later comes into all of our lives. Some persons who have an "ax to grind" are so anxious to get the edge on quickly that they forget to cover up the handle and their would be victim smiles up his sleeve while he is being patted on the back and assured in confidential tones that there lives in this darn old world one man who will stand by him till the end and then some. Two policemen in New York on going to arrest one Harry Emory on a charge of passing bogus checks found him in bed. They waited outside for half an hour and then entered to see why he dressed so slowly. They found him in the midst of an elaborate toilet and acceded to his request that he be permitted to finish it. After which he was locked up in the police station. The police of the West at least in Seattle are not built that way. They seen to have a decided lack of regard so far as the raiment goes and value their own time so highly that regardless of the appearance or occupation when their dignity arrives the person sought either walks or suffers the consequences. This anecdote concerning one Wilhelm Kaiser of Germany, bears inherent evidence of its truth.

Russell & Drew, with their new stock company, under the direction of Mr. R. E. French, are offering the biggest whirlwind melodrama that Seattle has ever seen. It has Lincoln J. Carter, Charles A. Taylor and other famous productions overshadowed so greatly that they are almost eclipsed. The play was a surprise to the most expectant of the audience last Sunday, and the company was even more a surprise, for never before has such a large number of clever actors and actresses been seen together in a melodrama in Seattle. The play is aptly described as a collosal scenic production; for it is all that, and "then some." If you have not seen "A Race Across the Conticent?" Don't miss it. It's the big "show" of the week in Seattle. As a scenic production, it reflects credit upon the Seattle scenic artist, and the lavish display that Messrs. Russell & Drew have given the setting. The company is practically sure to make friends and become one of the most popular stock companies ever seen here, Miss Thornton is an intelligent and artistic actress. Mr. Noel Travers, as the hero this week, became an instantaneous favorite; but the two leading people are only more prominent on account of the chsracters they impersonate. The other members of the company share all the honors with them—and the result is, one of the most even and best performances seen at the Seattle Theatre for two years or more. "A Race Across the Continent" runs until Saturday night. Next week, the same company will be seen in "The King and Queen of Gamblers;" entlrely new here, and wholly unlike any other melodrama of the kind. Mr. Travers will have a great part as the "Jack O' Diamonds." The part of "Doloris", a Spanish gambler queen, will afford the actress playing it, much better opportunities than the play this affords the leading lady, the "heavy", or the heroine. Patrons of the Seattle Theatre can for the next several weeks, safely look forward to a series of good plays at the hands of as clever a company as Messrs. Russell & Drew have ever gathered together for a stock season. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1909 BUSINESSDIRECT Sunset Telephone & Telegraph Co.
