Seattle Republican

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SEATTLE. WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1909. A great deal has been said condemnatory to the last legislature of the State of Washington, but after all a great many things were passed by that body which will be of invaluable service to the growth of the State. The editor of The Seattle Lay Citizens Criticise Legislature While Ralph Nichols, of the Thirty-first Senatorial District, was a very active member of the senate and always got in with the majority, yet it is very doubtful if he gave general satisfaction to either his constituents or anyone else. Ralph feels his importance, and if you do not join with him in that feeling he proceeds to cut you out. Some man like Billy Carle or some other strong and popular man will skin Ralph two to one, and for him to be left at home would be a real blessing to the taxpayers. Senator E. M. Williams voted on some measures that were before the late legislature that has made him a great many political enemies, and they are already after his scalp in the Thirty-second Senatorial District Discussing the members that were the most useful in the late legislature is again a matter of private and personal opinion and almost wholly from the standpoint in which one is interested. This paper has already said much along this line and it will from time to time continue to say things as to Doctor Ghent Made Good Thirty-Second. It is said that It is said that his political enemies are organizing against him and are satisfied they will defeat him in the primaries. This, however, is much easier said than done, because Williams, too, is a political scraper and is likewise organizing for the battle. With a dozen or more aspirants in the field he is almost certain of succeeding himself, but on the other hand, if the battle is narrowed down to a two-handed contest, the odds are greatly against Williams. In the Thirty-third Senatorial District it is hard to say whether P. L. Allen will be able to succeed himself or not, but the chances are that he can, providing he is satis- Thirty-Third. factory to Senator Piles, who lives in the district. It cannot be said of Allen that he was a useful member of the legislature or that he has any particular fitness for that kind of work, but it can be said of him that he makes himself a good fellow with the members and succeeds in getting many things through the legislature in which he is personally interested by so doing. He therefore may be able to succeed himself. It looks to the writer that George U. Piper made himself solid with his constituents in the Thirty-fourth Senatorial District and will have Thirty-Fourth. no opposition for re-election. If he has any at all it will be so slight that he will not mind it. It is said that the wholesale liquor dealers will oppose him, but it's a long time before the election and they may see it in a different light by that time, but even if they do, he will be nominated beyond the peradventure of a doubt. State Senator W. G. Potts, who was chairman of the appropriations committee of the senate in the eleventh as he has moved into the Thirty-seventh Senatorial District. He therefore is not looking for the job from that district, but it is said that his mantle is destined to fall on Representative G. W. Jeffries. While Senator George F. Cotterill, of the Thirty-sixth Senatorial District proved himself a very useful member and was truly an able one, yet he is a Democrat in politics and despite his ability he will have the task of a Hercules to succeed himself. It will be remembered that he only beat his opponent two votes when he was elected, and the Republicans of this district are beginning to organize even now to defeat Cotterill, and there is hardly any doubt but that they will down him. Prior to the senatorial contest, however, Cotterill will again try to be mayor of Seattle, and should he be successful he would not be a candidate to succeed himself. --- --- Price One Year, $3.00.

Republican was present for the most part while the legislature was in session and he can say without fear of successful contradiction that, there was less signs of legislative corruption lurking about the eleventh legislature than any other legislature in the history of the state. If any member got any money at all for his vote on any measure the sum was so small that it would not have set even the state house on fire much less the world, as goes the expression. Every time a legislature meets the lay citizens raise a howl that the members thereof are the most worthless lot that ever got together, but such is said without consideration, as those making the statement have no idea of just what previous legislatures really did accomplish in the way of good legislation. Some of the acts passed by the late legislature were vetoed and some of them that were not vetoed, in our opinion, should have been vetoed, but this again is only the opinion of one individual. If the governor had cut the appropriation bill some two million dollars or more it would have been a charitable act for the tax-payers, but he did not see fit to do so and so we must all stand for it. Doctor Ghent Made Good the personnel of the members. In this connection the name of Dr. Ghent occurs to the writer. To begin with he is a prepossessing looking gentleman and makes a good impression. He is also a good talker and never failed to respond when those things in which he was interested were before the body. From the very beginning he identified himself with those members known as the "wets," and he made a consistent fight for a local option law that to his mind would be fair. He made a number of speeches on the subject when it was up for discussion and always covered himself with much glory. His tuberculosis bill asking for an appropriation of $50,000 for the erection of a sanatarium under state auspices was a very meritorious act and should have been passed. The great "white plague" is a most dangerous foe to the human family and civilization the world over is combining to combat its ravages, and the measure proposed by Dr. Ghent was in keeping with the efforts that are being put forth all over the country. The bill, however, met its fate in the senate, and more, it is alleged, on account of personal differences than for any real opposition to the bill. He was interested in other bills equally as meritorious as those mentioned above and on the whole it can be said of Dr. Ghent that he made a most valuable member, the criticisms of Senator George F. Cotterill to the contrary notwithstanding. He will have little, if any, opposition for re-election. Those lay members who did not approve of the course pursued by John A. Whalley, make no bones in saying that he was a dead one in the legislature. He of course was a dead one from their standpoint, but they do not know the facts Whalley Was a Live Wire when they speak in that way. Mr. Whalley was one of the most active members in the legislature and for a new member, with no more gift of oratory than he, few others accomplished as much as he did. He was the direct opposite of Dr. Ghent, and so far as the writer could observe they never agreed on anything unless it was on a motion to adjourn, and not always on that. Say what you will or may about Whalley, his opponents always knew just where to find him. In other words he was either for or against your proposition. He put through some very valuable insurance legislation and was active in the passage of a local option bill. He never approved of a real prohibition measure and yet he occasionally voted in a way that lead one to think that he did. There is no doubt but that he pleased his constituents and that he will be returned to the legislature if he so desires to succeed himself. "I am inclined to think that the most of the members of the legislature from King county should be left at home next year when the time to nominate and elect members for the twelfth legislature comes round," said a very prominent newspaper man one day this week. After listening to the remarks on leaving the members of the eleventh legislature at home when the twelfth legislature is being made up it occurred to the writer that a word might be said on this subject. King county has eight state senators, and the first in order is I. B. Knickerbocker, of the Thirtieth Senatorial District. There may have been more brilliant speakers in the senate than Mr. Knickerbocker, but there was no more conscientious or successful worker in the senate than he, and there is not a shadow of doubt but that if he desires to succeed himself he will do so, and that, too, almost without a dissenting vote. He was one of the very strong men of the senate. Thirty-Second. Thirty-Third. Thirty-Fifth. Thirty-Sixth Historical Society UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1955 PUBLICAN 1909. Volume XV, Number 244 H. R. CAYTON, Publisher If there was one man in the eleventh legislature whose constituents are dead after him that man is Robert F. Booth, of the Thirty-seventh Senatorial District. There is no more show for Booth to succeed Thirty-Seventh. Thirty-Seventh. himself than there is of a snowball flying through hades. He not only did not please those of his constituents that favored legislation for the "wets," but he did not please those of his constituents that favored legislation for the "drys." If a member could act more unbecoming and ungentlemanly in a body of men than did Senator Booth, then he would have to do a whole lot of figuring in order to accomplish it. The next senator from that district will hardly pronounce his name Booth, even if it takes a Democrat to prevent it. CURRENT COMMENT ROOSEVELT SAILS FOR AFRICA America's most renowned son and the United States' most distinguished citizen is now on the high seas en route to Africa, where for the next twelve months he will hunt big game and study the natives of that now very remarkable country, which has been considered the rightful home of the blacks, but who, like the reds of the Americas, are being driven from their native heaths and not wanted in any other country are being swallowed by the sea. Teddy, as his fellow-countrymen are pleased to term him when he is not present, sailed last Tuesday at high noon, and nothing was more indicative of his real greatness than the presence of the multiplied thousands of his fellow-citizens, who lined the docks and wharves of the New York harbor to get a glimpse of him as he was sailing away. Despite the fact that he is only a privtae citizen, yet the crowds are as anxious to pay him homage as when he was president of the United States, all of which go to show that the man is truly great whether in or out of office. THE UNCROWNED KING Notwithstanding the fact that Theodore Roosevelt more than William Howard Taft is responsible for the latter now being president, and notwithstanding the fact that Theodore Roosevelt has been the United States government for the past seven years, and notwithstanding the fact that the citizens of the United States love Theodore Roosevelt more than any other living man, yet but a few days after he retired from the White House he set sail for a foreign land to be absent fully half of Taft's term, thereby completely divorcing himself from the affairs of the government and leaving President Taft to do as suits him best, all of which makes him the most remarkable man in the world. It has been said of Mr. Roosevelt that he is the uncrowned king of the world, and it is not an exaggeration. Though absent from his native land and though divorced from government affairs, yet his works live on and his reforms are growing every day, and the entire civilized world is learning to love and admire him just as much as the citizens of the United States. The counsel of no living man would have a hundredth part of the influence with all nations in the world as that of Theodore Roosevelt. LOST IN THE AIR Lost in the jungles or in the fastnesses of the mountains has been common to the United States since the white man first landed at Plymouth Rock, but to be lost in the air is a new and perhaps novel experience for the ever restless inhabitant of the United States, who seem to be constantly in search of some undiscovered land or country into which he can rush, if not for conquest, for gold, the white man's god. Doubtless to get ahead of all others in making a complete observation of the Sierra Madre mountains prompted Capt. Augusto F. Mueller, with five companions, to go up in the baloon America at Pasadena, Cal., to take a sail over the mountains in search of something new. Unfortunately for the party a heavy snow storm set in a few hours after they had been in the air, and in order to keep out of its fury they were compelled to go up some 13,000 feet. They were sufficiently high to clear the mountain peaks, but did not have fuel enough to take them some ninety miles across the mountains to the plains, and to do that might have been certain death for them, as the plains beyond is a great desert on which nothing lives any length of time. They therefore concluded to light in the mountains, and verily did do so, and after a few hours' intense suffering made their way back to the foot of the mountains to meet the entire country made up in searching parties looking for them. Despite the thrilling experience the men declared they enjoyed the outing. --- IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington for King County. In Probate.

No one wants to do business with a shabily attired person as an employer or employee. One writer says: "Rich or poor let the universe of men and women garb themselves in the very best possible." There is much worthy of consideration in the advice. A shabhy man or a shabby woman is despised the whole world over. No one respects them and old adages such as "Worth makes the man" and "Poverty is no crime" have been over shadowed years ago. "Fine feathers make fine birds." There is something of a philosopher after all in the man who makes the sometimes herculean effort to cover up the fact that his fnmily is needy by a neat appearance. That it is generally understood the shabhy man is not respected is daily demonstrated by the men and their families as they walk on the streets. The man is well clothed while the economies are practiced by the wife and children. At a glance this might appear as selfishness, but the man must daily meet the public and a prosperous appearance is what the public demands. This may be a human weakness but such are the conditions. DEATH OF INFANTS in most cases is due to ignorance. Thousands of babies die annually on account of their mothers unintentional carelessness and ignorance. There is a movement on foot in London, which might be profitably adopted in America, to enlighten young mothers on the care, dress, and food of infants. The average mother among the poorer classes rears her child without thought, plan, or method. It is rather a wonder that so many live beyond their early childhood. These schools for mothers have an honorary medical officer, a woman doctor, who attends two afternoons a week to examine babies and their mothers and to give advice on their feeding, clothing, and general management. The babies are weighed every fortnight and a record kept of their condition. Mothers who come regularly join the club and pay two cents a fortnight, and they try hard to follow instructions in the feeding and clothing of the babies. The doctor in charge found irregularity of feeding to be the most common fault and bronchitis the most common ailment. THE AWAKENING of Formosa is as wonderful as the awakening of Asia. Japan got Formosa at the close of its war with China, just about five years before the Philippines came to America. The island was then the throes of rebellion and it was looked upon as about the poorest piece of property in the far east. Its inhabitants were thought to be pirates and savage head hunters, mixed with the lowest grade opium smoking Chinese, and it was turbulent to an extreme. After the island was ceded to the Japanese they had to fight their way from one end of it to the other to conquer it, and they kept a military establishment there for five or six years. The island pays its own expenses and will in time pay for all its improvements. They are putting roads everywhere and have introduced postoffices into all the towns. In 1896 there were only forty-five places where postage stamps could be bought. There are now 600 or 700. About I3,000,000 letters and post card and about 5,000,000 other postal packages go through the mails every year. They have money order offices and postal savings banks with tens of thousands of depositors. About 2,000 miles of telegraph wire and about a half million messages are sent over them every year. The savages were glad to see the Japanese come in and some of the tribes are quite docile. Schools have been established among them and men from certain tribes have visited Japan. Taken altogether the outlook fer Formosa is a bright one. THE OYSTER LAND GRAFT. "A great many graft bills ran the gauntlet of both houses of the late legislature, but the worst of them all, if such a thing be possible, was the Beach oyster land grab bill. Representative Gunderson, now deceased, who hailed from Mason county, successfully opposed the passage of a similar bill, but he was succeeded by Dr. W. M. Beach, who seems to have the interests of the oyster men more at heart than the state's, and that being a fact, he has hammered away ever since he stepped into Gunderson's shoes to filch the state out of her oyster lands. It's true he only got 400 acres this time, but that's an entering wedge and at each succeeding legislature he will endeavor to get more until all will have been taken." The above article taken from the Seattle Republican, indicates that the writer labors under the wrong impression common over the state, if we may judge by the press generally coupling this measure with the "Seattle Ditch," "Wenatchee Bridge," "Spokane $30,000 entertaining graft," and a dozen other grabs into the state sack, in which no section of the state which had a single want was overlooked in the combination." The so-called Callow Act was designed to convey title to some 400 acres of oyster lands in Mason and Thurston counties, which were taken up under territorial laws for the cultivation of oysters. In common with the later Bush Act this law contained the "revisionary clause," providing that the lands might revert to the state when used for any other purpose than the culti- LE SATTLE REPUBLICAN vation of oysters; carrying out the intent of the legislature when the provision for title to these oystermen was made. However, the Callow Act, as interpreted by the best legal authority, seems to go further than this, and make it possible for the state to escheat these lands, whether or not they continue to be used in good faith for oyster cultivation, and simply pay back to the owner the price originally paid to the state and the "value of the improvements," which at any time would be represented merely by the oysters thereon, and no consideration made of the amount of work, if any, in the preparation and improvement of these grounds. At the time those who had earned the right to do so, were permitted to perfect these rights, the lands were appraised by a board of commissers, and the price ranged as high as $23 an acre. While perhaps not half of the 400 acres are of material value, a good part of the remainder is after the lapse of twenty years, of considerable value. This is doubtless true of many thousands of acres of tide lands of other classes heretofore sold by the state at merely nominal prices, usually about $1.26 an acre. There is no demand that the state withhold a full and absolute title to these other lands, and as the oystermen who hold the Callow Act lands are using them in good faith, and as none of this class of lands has, or ever will have any value for other uses, the passage of the long-deferred law confirming title seems an act of simple justice. Referring to the position of the late Mr. Gunderson the Republican seems to have confused this act with the county's contest against the attempted "oyster reserve" grabs of its fellows townsman, ex-Senator and Representative Palmer. Mr. Gunderson and all other representatives from Mason County have asked for the passage of the bill confirming titles to the lands originally conveyed by the state, but have consistently opposed any effort to have the state part with the title of any oyster reserve lands, either to its own citizens or to outsiders.—Mason County Journal. Acting Gov. Hay vetoed the Beach bill and this ends the case for at least two years. We hear much about the "Seattle grab," chiefly from persons who couldn't, if it would save their souls, tell you the real facts in the case. The truth is that there is a great deal of merit in Seattle's claim for an appropriation for the Lake Washington canal enterprise, and we would not have the slightest bit of difficulty in recognizing it—if it were Tacoma's enterprise instead of Seattle's. By a thousand times, it is a more meritorious proposition than the purchasing by the state of the Wenatchee bridge, or the appropriation to Spokane of $30,000 for the entertainment of an irrigation congress. O, for a little candor and consistency in these days of false pretense and envy!—Puyallup Tribune. County Assessor Parish is out in a communication claiming that Senator Palmer of this FRIDAY.

MARCH 26, 1909 Right to Restrain The Right Of Free Speech or a Free Press When Necessary To Make Effective The Terms of an Injuction Restraining a Boycott. Before expressing our opinion on the decision in the contempt proceedings before Mr. Justice Wright of the supreme court of the District of Columbia in the case of Buck Stove & Range Co. vs. American Federation of Labor, 36 Wash. L. Rep. 822, we have awaited the decision in the court of appeals on the question of the validity of the injunction, which was rendered on March 11, 1909, affirming the decree of the lower court This in our opinion concludes also the contempt proceedings, for, if the injunction was valid, the defendants are clearly subject to the penalty of the law for violating it. The exact issues in this case extracted from a mass of evidence are not difficult to state. The plaintiff stove company refused to grant its metal polishers a nine hour day. The said metal polishers thereupon called a "strike," but being few in numbers, the strike was futile to compel the plaintiff to submit to their terms. They then essayed to make use of that more effective weapon, the boycott. Right here, however, the plaintiff interfered and requested and was granted an injunction restraining the local union and the American Federation of Labor from carrying into effect such boycott, alleging that the boycott was an illegal conspiracy to injure their business. One of the prohibitions of the injunction which was intended to prevent the carrying into effect of the conspiracy or boycott was to the effect that defendants Gompers and others should not in any manner publish or declare the plaintiff's firm to be "unfair." Here is where the defendants attacked the validity of the injunction, alleging that such a mandate was void as depriving them of their constitutional right to publish or speak freely on any subject they might choose. The court of appeals has sustained the terms of this injunction. This action of the court is quite correct on principle provided that the premise be correct, to-wit, that a boycott is an illegal, conspiracy. Granting that the boycott was illegal it was certainly not improper for the court to enjoin the attempt to put it into effect if it be shown that the injury to property rights, about to be inflicted, was irreparable and that there was no adequate remedy at law. Following logically, therefore, to our final conclusion, if the boycott was illegal, and the court had power to restrain it, it necessarily follows that whatever prohibition is necessary to make the writ of injunction effective is within the power of the court to make, even if the prohibition affects the constitutional right to print or speak freely. This is not the case of an injunction prohibiting an individual from writing or speaking on any subject he pleases. There would be no authority for such injunction. This is simply the case of injunction prohibiting an alleged band of conspirators from carrying out the object of their conspiracy, to-wit, the establishment of a boycott. If the only means of making effective the boycott is by writing or speaking, even the exercise of such sacred rights may be restrained, so far only, however, as is necessary to prevent the boycott itself from becoming effective. The court of appeals recognizes clearly this distinction, indeed, even more clearly than did Justice Wright himself, who, unfortunately, allowed himself to be swayed by too much personal feeling against the defendants. The court of appeals in accordance with the rule, as we have stated it, modified the terms of the injunction by eliminating therefrom the restriction upon the defendants from "mentioning, writing or referring to the business of the plaintiffs." The modification of the decree of the lower court as indicated was quite proper. No injunction can thus unnecessarily abridge the right of a free press or free speech. The extent of the restrictions which were proper to be imposed was limited to those "'references" by writing or speaking which were efficacious in establishing the boycott, the thing sought to be prevented. LEGAL INFORMATION. The United States district court for the eastsm district of Pennsylvania, in Re Martorana, 159 Federal Reporter, 1010, decided that the wife of one who was petitioning for naturalization was not competent as a witness in that proceeding, although she had been a resident of the United States all her life, as any American woman that marries a foreigner takes the nationality of her husbsnd, and by marrying an alien she became an alien. Defendant, master of the "General Slocum," that took fire in East river in 1904, killing a thousand persons, was convicted of manslaughter by violation of the statutes of the United States providing punishment for failure to exercise proper care in providing life preservers, means for prevention of fire, etc., and appealed to the circuit court of appeals. In Van Schaik vs. United States, 159 Federal Reporter, 847, that tribunal affirmed the decision. Equitable relief was denied in Mathews vs. Carman, 107 New York supplement, 694, where it was sought to set aside an order in summary proceedings as being obtained by fraud and to restrain its use as evidence. The New York supreme court held such relief available in a proper case, but as the facts in this instance showed that the justice's court in which the judgment was renderd had no jurisdiction, it was subject to THE SEATTLE REPURLICA collateral attact, as being the determination of a court not of record, which could be objected to when offered in evidence. The father of defendants gave plaintiff three promissoy notes, when they were barred by limitation he sent a payment without direction as to its application. Plaintiff credited one-half the amount on each of two notes. After the father's death his sons gave plaintiff a note for the three held by him. Suit was brought on the son's note. The Minnesota supreme court in Anderson vs. Nystrom, 114 Northwestern Reporter, 742, held that where payment is made on claims not barred, without direction as to its application, the creditor may split it up and by indorsement on the different obligations prevent the running of the statute, but that this rule will not apply to claims already barred. The question whether or not the Hepburn law operated to repeal the Elkins law so as to bar prosecutions commenced after the enactment of the Hepburn law, for acts committed prior thereto and in violation of the Elkins law, has been up for consideration in several Federal courts, and it has been held that such prosecutions were not barred, in the United States vs. Standard Oil Company, 148 Federal Reporter, 719; United States vs. Chicago, etc., R. C., 151 Federal Reporter, 84; United States vs. Delaware, Lackawana and Western R. Co., 152 Federal Reporter, 269; and United States vs. New York Central and Hudson River R. C., 153 Federal Repoater, 630. Judge Hazel of the United States district court for the Western district of New York, in United States vs. New York Central and Hudson River Railroad Company, 153 Federal Reporter, 620, holds that a railroad company which has entered into an arrangement with other railroad companies for the continuous interstate carriage of oil is bound to comply with the interstate commerce act as to the publication of rates, even though the line operated by the railroad company itself is wholly within one state. --- In determining the reasonableness of railroad rates, expenditures for permanent improvements and equipment should not be charged to the current or operating expenses of a single year, according to the recent decision, of the United States supreme court in Illinois Central Railroad Company vs. Interstate Commerce Comission, 27 Supreme Court Reporter, 700, 206 United States 441, 51 L. Ld.— The court is of the opinion that such expenditures should be reimbursed by all of the traffic they accommodate during the period of their duration, and not by the revenues of a single year. W. H. FINCK Pioneer Jeweler and Watch Maker Our Holiday Specials Unequaled. 816 Second Avenue, Seattle, Wash. A buxom young woman of some twenty summers came into my office the other day, relates one of our correspondents, to see me in regard to securing for her a divorce. We talked over the case, and I advised her that we would probably have no difficulty in securing the decree on the grounds of non-support, and that it was likely to be a default case. She then ssked me our fee and I told her it would cost her $40. "Well," she said, "mother has gotten three divorces and I have gotten two for $25 each, and that is all I'm going to pay for this one." "You are charged with stealing nine of Colonel Henry's hens last night. Have you any witnesses?" asked the Justice sternly. "Nussah!" said Brother Jones humbly. "I'spects I's sawtuh peculiar dat-uh-way, but it ain't never been mah custom to take witnesses along when I goes out chicken-stealin', suh." They were asking the eminent lawyer why he took so large a fee from the trust. "I think it was its largeness that made it easy to take," he smilingly answered. Then the state's attorneys conferred. "And didn't you stop to consider that the money was tainted?" they asked him. "No," he ingenuously replied, "I only stopped to count it." A lawyer came into court drunk, when the judge said to him: "Sir, I am sorry to see you in a situation which is a disgrace to yourself and family and the profession to which you belong." This, reproof elicited the following colloquy: "Did your Honor speak to me?" "I did sir, I said, sir, that in my opinion you disgraced yourself and family, the court and the profession, by your course of conduct." "May i-i-it please your Honor, I have been an attorney in-in-in this court for fifteen years, and permit me to say, your Honor, that this is the first correct opinion I ever knew you to give." -Philadelphia Ledger.

By JACOB A, RIIS, author and Journalist. Twenty years ago there wasn't a single settlement in New York city. Now there are more than sixty of them, and the settlement idea is spreading everywhere. The settlement is not a cureall. Its just a means of giving us something that in our modern cities we otherwise haven't got at all—neighborliness in the true sense of the word. In the small villages from which our cities grew there was democracy in social relations. The city has killed that. But it is essential to a full and complete life, and we must revive it. All the grasping and the greed of the world comes from not regarding our fellows as our neighbors. One dosen't trample his neighbors. He works with them to a common end. We must come to look on all the world as our neighbors. We must do away with the idea of classes. There isn't any justification, for class lines in America. They are unjust, unwholesome, unrighteous and un-American. Why should we have class lines here in this country and one man despise another just because he has been lucky enough to make a little more money? A man has some right to be proud of what he makes with his own hands and his own brains, but he hasn't any business putting on airs over what he is merely trying to spend. in America. I have never seen a man that was worth anything who didn't work in one way or another. I think that often the man who sits at a desk does harder work than the man who handles a shovel. But, anyway, they both are workingmen. There are just two classes, those who work and those who don't, and there isn't any reason why all those who work shouldn't be neighbors to each other in the true sense. The Color Line in Cuba. No sooner is Cuba fairly started out on her career of independent self-government than her pathway is beset with difficulties. An insurrection is said to be brewing in the province of Santiago, and predictions are freely made that the government will not survive two years. The race issue is to the fore there as it is in our Southern states, with the added complication that the white inhabitants of the island are in a minority and it is not easy to see how they can devise a plan by which authority can be kept out of the hands of the colored race, which is in a large majority have thus far done anything to give an excuse for trouble, it is probable that the agitation is due to the clique of annexationists in Cuba and the United States, whose only hope of carrying out their program is to stir up a rebellion that will compel the American government to interpose for a third, and probably the final, time in Cuban affairs.—Catholic Progress. --- IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for King County, Edna I.

The issue contains a large number of half-tones of views in and around the cities of Seattle and Tacoma, and many cuts of Negro citizens of more or less prominence in business and the professions. Such a product merits a wide circulation and will result in benefit to those connected with its production.—Cle Elum Echo. A publication of uncommon attractiveness and special interest is the Northwest Negro Progress Number of The Seattle Republican, which also marks the celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of this enterprising and progressive newspaper. The number is replete with portraits of the progressive men and women of the race in the far-removed State of Washington, together with illustrations of their comfortable homes and upto-date business establishments.

The whole edition is well printed and gives live information as to the activities of our people. It is a record of achievements which any group of people could be proud, and we would suggest that our people everywhere secure copies of this special edition of The Seattle Republican.—Tuskegee Student. The Seattle Republican has given its readers a genuine work of art, literally and typographical, in its seventy-eight page special edition which it has just issued, under the title of The Seattle Republican Northwest Negro Progress Number. The edition is embellished with fine half-tones of progressive Negroes, men and women, of the Puget Sound country, of beautiful homes and other institutions, all of which are highly creditable to our race in this country. The faces of the men and women appearing in this issue are marked with intelligence and Western progressiveness. The editor of The Republican must certainly have selected the finest looking people in Seattle, or else all the people in that city and section are strikingly handsome PROGRESS OF NORTHWEST NEGRO TO BE EXPLOITED. The accompanying cuts represent homes owned by Colored folk of Seattle, which cuts first appeared in a special edition of The Seattle Republican in 1907 along with many others. These cuts are reproduced at this time that the readers hereof may get some idea of what the Colored folk of Seattle are doing toward home-building. The Seattle Republican is preparing to issue a similar publication in the very near future, which will be more comprehensive than the Northwest Negro Progress Number it issued in 1907, which number will be ready for distribution at the A.-Y.-P. Exposition and even before the gates of the exposition are thrown open to the general public. A competent force is now gatrehing facts for the next issue of the Negro Progress Number of the Northwest, and with the view of making it the best thing ever published in the interest of the Negro your aid is solicited. That the public may get a complete yet correct idea of what the Negro is actually accomplishing in the Northwest it is hoped that every Negro will render the compiler of the Northwest Negro Progress Number, which will be issued about the middle of May, all the assistance within his or her power. It is generally believed that a great many Negroes from the East, South and North will visit Seattle during the lifetime of the exposition, and they will be pleased to get hold of some reliable statistics accurately stating the progress the Negroes of this section are making. If, therefore, you live in a neighboring city and know of any one there owning a home, write The Seattle Republican and make the fact known. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. Touching the Negro Progress Number issued by The Seattle Republican a few of the many hundred complimentary press and personal notices are requoted: "The Northwest Negro Progress Number is par excellent. I am delighted."—Sergt. A. A. Houston, Spokane. "Permit me to congratulate you on your splendid edition, the Northwest Negro Progress Number."—E. F. Myer, Bremerton. "Your Northwest Negro Progress Number never had an equal so far as the Negro is concerned."—J. R. Hawkins, Winlock. "If the colored folk do not appreciate a publication like your Northwest Negro Progress Number, it is quite evident that they are sadly lacking in appreciation."—Jas. A. Moore, of Moore Investment Company. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. The following article concerns The Seattle Republican, published in the State of Washington. It has just issued its first number of its fourteenth volume. This number will make a worthy addition to any library. It contains 78 pages, and is filled with matter concerning the growth and progress CUT OUT CLANNISHNESS There is no excuse for clannishness among races or classes in the United States, for he or she who desires to do business and goes about the desire in a business-like manner will find it comparatively easy to do business with every other race or class of citizens in his or her immediate business community. That being a fact, any move toward clannishness on the part of any class, clique, clan, color or condition should be deprecated by the better element of any one or all of them. The colored man of the United States just now is riding the race hobby at a gait that would make J. I. C. hang his head in shame. The members of the African Methodist Episcopal Church have for their long suit this race hobby and work it overtime on members of another church who do not have "colored bishops." They, however, do not seem to practice what they preach, as the weekly organ of the connection has recently gone to the wall on account of non-support, and that, too, despite the fact there are over 800,000 actual members of the church; 8,000 preachers and with equally as many non-communicant sympathizers as lay members and preachers combined. If only the preachers of the connection subscribed and regularly paid one dollar per year for the paper that amount of money would have paid all the running expenses of the paper and allowed fully $3,000 per annum for the editor, and at the same time a better paper could have been turned out than has been in the past. Unless colored men learn themselves to see merit in the labors and efforts of each other, how do they expect other folk to do so. These folk advocate separate churches in order to get a square deal and yet they permit the organ of those churches they have built up on race prejudice to languish and fail because they are lacking in race pride to support them.
