Seattle Republican

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Price One Year, $3.00. Single Copies, 10 Cents. POLITICAL POT PIE Rumor has it that Senator Piles has decided to have James C. Drake, the well known Tacoma Democrat, appointed United States marshall for Western Washington. He will do this, so goes the story, in deference to Judge Hanford, who is a very "dear friend" of Drake. In other words Piles is to drive the last nail into his political coffin just to please a friend. But a few months ago and Senator Piles named George F. Russell postmaster of Seattle just to please a friend, which friend is a well known Democrat of Seattle, the Hon. J. D. Farrell, assistant to the president of the Southern Pacific railroad company E. H. Harriman, the appointment will cost Senator Piles many hundreds of votes in his home town; yes, so many that his re-election to the senate has been greatly jeopardized. It will thus be observed that Senator Piles is but the nominal senior senator of the state while certain men at his home seem to have the power to touch the button and Senator Piles is compelled to do the rest. Under such circumstances there seems to be no more show of Piles succeeding himself than for a lump of ice to fly through hades. Who will Governor Hay appoint secretary of state state and insurance commissioner? has already begun to be discussed in political circles. Those who have watched the investigation proceedings feel absolutely certain that the governor will be called upon to make such appointments, whether Secretary Nichols and Insurance Commissioner Schively resign or not they seem to think the committee has sufficient evidence in its hands even at this writing to justify the legislature when it is called in extra session to impeach both of them. If however, they both resign, as it is very generally believed they will, then the governor will be called upon to fill two very important vacancies at once, and to an extent he can get some idea of how his proposed plan of only the governor and lieutenant governor being elected and the governor appointing all of the other officials will work. In case the two men now under fire refuse to resign and are impeached the naming of new officers will not occur for some months, while if they resign, the naming of new officers will take place within the next two weeks. When the governor is called upon to appoint a new secretary of state and a new insurance commissioner he should use some political sense in so doing and name men from some other section of the state besides Eastern Washington. At present pretty nearly every important position in the state is filled by some one from Eastern Washington, and if the governor gives either one or both of these prospective places to men from Eastern Washington it will cost him a good many votes when he comes up for the nomination of governor of the state at the expiration of his accidental term. Governor Hay it is very generally believed is and will continue to make a splendid governor and will distribute the patronage of the state as it should be. He is not responsible for the present state of affairs of the state positions all being filled by men from Eastern Washington and he should not be made to bear the burden unless he does not seem inclined to remedy the evil that has been thrust upon him. That the state capitol building of Washington was more or less infested with a sweet nest of poisoned pups is coming to light more and more as the exposure light is being turned on. While the legislature was in session State Senator R. A. Hutchinson insisted from the very day that he arrived in the city until he left that the financial affairs of the state in a dozen different places were so rotten that if touched they would fall to pieces. This official rottenness he claimed began at the state house and extended to every one of the state institutions, and in his sweeping accusations the supreme court was not overlooked. Of course Dick, as he is known among the boys, was not only considered erratic, but a pessimistic Populist, and the other members of the legislature accredited nothing tangible to his political accusations, and they therefore refused to take any steps which might give him an opportunity to verify his statements, but when he left he shook his head and said, before I see you again something will drop in high Republican circles." The latest gay lothario of the state to be shown up for having squandered the state's money is former Adjutant General Otis Hamilton, on whose trail the sleuths of the Post-Intelligencer has been camping for a good SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1909 many moons. It must have taken them many weeks to work up the story that was printed in the P.-I. last Wednesday morning concerning General Hamilton and his connection with one Hazel Moore and his downfall. Notwithstanding the fact that General Hamilton had a wife, he became enamored with the Moore woman and practically deserted his wife, and not yet satisfied he squandered thousands of dollars of the state's money to maintain the woman in extravagant luxury. Thousands of dollars of the people's money have been voted to the National Guards by the legislature and first one and another put in charge of it, who had the right to spend it at pleasure and without having to account for it to any one. It frequently happened that a deficit would occur and the legislature without stopping to inquire into the cause voted more money. General Hamilton is now a ruined man and if he gets his just deserts he will spend a goodly portion of his life in the state's prison. The Exposure Light of the Post-Intelligencer are showing up so many of the state officials in questionable lights that each morning one rushes to get the paper and exclaims, who has been exposed in this issue? Nichols, Schively and Hamilton one after the other has gone down and out and the question now is, Who will be the next? "I feel certain that the real big fish has not been caught as yet," came from a well known politician one day this week, "and he may never be caught, but there is no doubt in my mind and the minds of hundreds of others throughout the state that there is still a great mud cat in the political pool that ought to be caught, and I trust will be caught before this exposure business is terminated. If I am right in my conjectures when that big mud cat will have been harpooned it will be discovered that the state has been euchered out of millions of dollars instead of a few thousands as Nichols-Schively exposure has brought out and the Hamilton escapade has likewise shown the state has lost. I want to see the good work go bravely on even if it results in the defeat of the Republican party from stem to gudgeon." Secretary of State Sam H. Nichols has tendered his resignation to Governor Hay to take effect on the appointment of his successor, and it is rumored that the appointment has been tendered to former Governor Albert E. Mead. It is expected that in the very near future a vacancy will occur in the insurance office and it is hinted that E. K. Erwin has been slated for that place. Both Gov. Mead and Capt. Erwin are men of sterling integrity and have been tried in many official capacities. Prior to being elected governor of the state Albert E. Mead was prosecuting attorney of Whatcom county and made a most enviable record in that office, which went a long ways toward making him governor of the state. For four years last past Capt. Erwin was treasurer of Spokane county and for four years prior to that he was county clerk of Spokane, and in both places he made a splendid record and today stands ace high before the voters of that county. That both of these gentlemen will make ideal state officials is a foregone conclusion. Amid all of this exposure the average citizen of the state would like to know what has become of Murky Matt of the Seattle Daily Times that labored during the entire session of the legislature to prevent an investigation of the state officials and especially the insurance office and likewise the office of secretaay of state. Through the columns of his paper he poked fun at it from the very first time it was sprung until after the committee actually began to make disclosures, when it ceased it vituperative abuse of former Senator Wilson and Governor Hay. In his efforts to prevent the investigation he was ably assisted by State Senator Bobby Booth of the thirty-seventh senatorial district, who must feel equally as spotted over the turn of affairs as Murky Matt. The Times is not saying very much these days over any of the exposures and the horse laugh seems very much on it. It got scooped on the Hamilton escapade, but got out an extra after it read the news in the P.-I. "Wise men change, but fools never," is an old adage, and there is no denying the fact, a very wise one. While State Senator A. S. Ruth, president of the senate, bitterly opposed the investigation of the state officers, yet when the committee began to make the investigation and things began to show up on the surface that was exceedingly damaging to those interested, he at once admitted that he had been deceived and had no hesitancy in advising the officials that it would be much LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 20 Volume XV, Number 50. .H. R. CAYTON. Publisher better for them to resign at once, for if they did not and a special session of the legislature was called, not only would they be impeached but criminal charges would likewise be preferred against them. It was on the advise of Senator Ruth more than any one else that moved Mr. Nichols to resign, and it is barely possible that Senator Rtuh will have considerable influence with inducing Schively to follow in the wake of Nichols. The course pursued by Senator Ruth has made him quite strong with the people. The Cosgrove administration, which gave promise of being such a pleasant one, saw its finish when Howard G. Cosgrove left the governor's office as the private secretary. One day this week Governor Hay, out of respect for the late Governor Cosgrove, appointed Howard a regent of the University of Washington, from which school he graduated some seven years ago. Regent Cosgrove has alreay taken up his permanent abode in Seattle and in the course of a few days will open up offices in the city and attempt to do what he and his distinguished father did in Pomeroy, build up a splendid practice. The whole Cosgrove family will move to Seattle selling out their holdings in Pomeroy. In the fight for the mayor of Spokane the Democrat, N. S. Pratt, won out last Tuesday by a handsome plurality. It is claimed in the fight for Mayor of Spokane the "wets" were pitted against the "drys" and the "drys" won out. If the allegations be true it would seem that Spokane has local option tendencies and yet the voters may not have meant more than the electing of a mayor that would make the law breakers obey the law and if called upon to choose between local option and license would vote for the latter just as strongly as they did for a law and order man. On the local option issue the Republicans are somewhat divided, and the Democrats too, for that matter, but the Democrats are willing to accept anything that is put up to them just to get the office. If they had thought that supporting a wide open policy for Spokane would have given them the offices they would have been just as strong that way as they were for the other. Coming close to the expose in Republican official circles the election of a Democrat mayor of the third largest city in the state is rather significant. Even Republicans are beginning to discuss the advisability of turning the entire Republican machine out of office at the next general state election with a view of getting things a bit cleaned up by a new party. Governor Hay, however, is doing noble work in trying to clean things up and there does not seem any particular need of electing a Democrat to office when there are plenty of good and honest Republicans ready and willing to do the work. What is wanted in the state house is a system of running things the same as a private concern would run a business. It will be remembered that THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, while the legislature was in session, quoted State Auditor Clausen to the effect that, none of the state offices had a check on the other, and the various officials could turn in as little or as much of their daily receipts as those in charge saw fit and no one had the right to call such officials to tax for not turning in all their daily receipts. There may be shortages in the various offices amounting to millions of dollars and yet there is no way to trace it unless the books are exported and that has not been done since statehood. According to dispatches from Washington City Secretary R. A. Ballinger is in a hot scrap with Secretary Wilson and so hot has the scrap become that the whole matter has been referred to the president for settlement. Mr. Ballinger is one of those peculiar bodies that alwtsys gets into a dispute with his colleagues as to how things should be conducted. He for the most part is more right than wrong, but whether right or wrong, he must have a scrap. If the president decides adversely to him nine chances out of ten he will resign his position and come home. He is a man that finds himself totally unable to brook opposition to his views on any matter from the other fellow. There seems to be little doubt at this writing that Hon. Harry L. Wilson will be promoted to the position of minister plenipotentiary to Mexico. Harry Wilson was for many years one of the leading politicians of the state of Washington, and was the leader of the Republican party of Spokane county where he and his brother resided.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN EATTLE, WASHINGTON fen ee nme y a 8 Virginia’s Negroes Proser- ous Much has been said in recent years about the shiftless Negro of the South and much has been said among those persons, who in the past have been the best friend of the Negro in the South, and have freely given up their money to make it possible for him to get a foothold in the bus- iness affairs of the United States. The black man as the white man in many instances may be ex- ceedingly worthless, but all things ‘being considered, the black man is making consider- able headway in the South. The following figures concerning the possessions of the Negro in the state of Virginia were recently published by the leading daily papers of Richmond, and is con- sidered quite correct and by no means an exaggeration as the publishers of the paper in ques- tion would rather a hundred times over lessen than increase the amount the Negro actually owns. Of the 25,000,000 acres of land in the state the Negro owns 1,- 464,048 acres, or in round num- bers one sixteenth of the acre- age of the state. His land hold- ings are valued at $6,239,605 and the buildings and improvements thereon are valued at $3,987,605 making a total of $10,177,524. There are one hundred counties in the state, and with two ex- ceptions, Negroes own property inevery oneof them. Strange as it may seem in one of the counties of the state not a Negro resides. In the towns not class- ed as cities Negroes own lots valued at $1,105,305 with im- provements thtreon valued at $3,088,022. Of the nineteen cities ih the state Negroes own lots valued at $1,927,621 with improvements thereon valued at $3,618,722 making a total of $5,- 546,143. The city of Richmond leads with lots valued at $1,259,- 944 making a total of $1,916,157. It will thus be seen that roughly speaking the Negroes of Vir- ginia own real property valued in round numbers at twenty mil- lion dollars and this does not in- clude the churches, schools, cem- eteries, hospitals, asylums and other elemosynary institutions that are exempt from taxation. The compiler of the above fig- ures declares that, while the Ne- gro loves to make a show of his holdings, neverthless when it comes to paying taxes he has learned to be just as artful a tax dodger as a Rockefeller or any other white man, and so in mak- ing an estimate of the personal holdings of the Negro of the state it-can only be approx- imated, His personal property of the state as taken from the asses- sor’s rolls is valued at $6,820, 447. Summing it all up the compiler believes it is safe to say, the Ne- groes of the state own real and personal property and on which they either payor should pay taxes valued at $35,000,000. Speaking about the business enterprises of the Negro of the state itis said that he operates eight banks with a capital stock valued at more than a million dollars. There are five insur- ance companies in the state, which pay either a sick benefit or a straight life policy. In ad- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Ee {dition to the above the True Re- former, Pythians, St. Luke, Sa- maritans and Fishermen, all be- nevolent societies that pay be- neficiaries and own a great deal of property, the most of which is exempt from taxation. Tillman’s Concession Benjamin F. Tillman stood with Booker T. Washington in the White House and was not afraid of contamination. ‘‘I should have liked to talk with him,’’ he said. ‘‘He is a man of great intellectual power.’’ Coming from Senator Tillman, this is a concession. If he would investigate trades and industries in Washington he would find many Negroes worth talking with. At work on new houses there are Negro carpenters, plas- terers and even contractors. In the border states near by— Vir- ginia and Maryland —he could find Negroes saving money, op- ening bank accounts and doing thrifty business with respectable white citizens. Whether the South Carolina senator likes or trusts the Negro asarace, he can hardly glance around the Washington neigh- borhood without conceding the Negro capacity for good work and good behavior. If the Ne- groes of South Carolina are still backward as workmen and busi- ness men, it may not be wholly a racial fault confined to one side. Socially, people are everywhere as they choose. To Negro pro- ductive citizens of the better class the senator owes further concessions. —Philadelphia Pub- lic Ledger. Scandinavian American Bank.

In the early days of railroading there were no printed passes as at present, and Mr. Guthrie, president of the Louisville and Nashville R. R., would frequently write a pass for a friend on a scrap of paper. The conductor honored it, but later grew suspicious, and one day took it up. He carried it to the office of President Guthrie and said: "A farmer has been riding on this pass for about a year; do you want him to continue to use it?" President Guthrie put on his glasses, looked the paper over carefully, and said: "Why this is not a pass, It is a receipt I gave a fellow for a load of wood a year ago."

Teddy has laid low three Afri- can lions, but whether he killed them with his trusted rifles or his proverbal big stick the dis- spatches failedtosay. Our Ted- dy is all right. ‘Fixing the Tariff,” is a head- line. Thearticle following, how- ever, does not say who it is that is fixing the tariff, and yet the consumer will soon know that it has been ‘‘fixed’”’ by some one. “Don’t Waste Water’’ is a P.- I. headline intended to be a warning to water consumers If half is true that has been offici- ally said about the water condi- tion, the warning is hardly nec- essary for there will be no water to waste. More wheat by a good many bushels have been recently sold by the wheat gamblers than the world can produce in the next decade. Those are the captains of industry that are held up to the rising generations as ideal citizens. “No occupation’”’ is applied to women who take care of their own homes. No occupation, I say! The woman who success- fully takes care of the home she lives in and rears a family of children is the director general of the world, and every man in the world should doff their hats to her. If Seattle does not make Seat- tle Day at the A. Y. P. exposi- tion, the most attractive day from a Seattle standpoint, of any day during the life time of the fair, then some one should get hold of a big stick and kill the Seattle Spirit so dead that it would never breathe again. Not only should large numbers of Seattle folk attend the exposi- tion Seattle Day, but every home shouldin some marked way be decorated for the occasion. In other words make Seattle Day extend not only to the exposition grounds, but to every home in the city. The explosion of a gasoline tank connected with the plant of the Ranier Valley Record caused the death of Mr. Nash, one of the proprietors of the plant, and the serious burning of Mrs. Gill in her attempt to extinguish the fire that fatally burned Mr. Nash. After a series of trials and trib- ulations the proprietors of the paper got. things to running smoothly, and just as this had been accomplished this fatal ac- cident occurred. The man or woman who de- pends upon the color of the skin he or she wears to take him suc- cessfully through this world is such a notorious damphool that Thompson’s colt, that swam the river to get a drink, was a Solo- mon in comparison. “Fire the Jap’’ is a great slo- gan that a lot of hair brained la- por unionites are advocating throughout the country just now. Its not the Japs that are the common enemies to the comiron- weal but the labor union agita- tors, and if any one is to be fired the latter and not the former should be. ‘* Within the past seven years,’’ says William Travers Jerome, district attorney of Greater New York, ‘‘one hundred thousand criminals passed through my of- fice,’? which is not doubted by the general public, but it is thought by a great many per- sons that a great majority never stopped in the office long enough to get acquainted. Consumptives to be sure are in a most pitiable condition, but that is no reason why they should be permitted to live in snch close proximity to others that they wouid probably put them in an equally pitable condition as them- selves. It does not help a dying person for living persons to com- mit suicide because he or she is dying.

SEATTLE FLASHLIGHTS The prospective shortage of water in the city, which has al- ‘ready given signs of being on us in the very near future, is to be deplored. This is but the first of May and fewif hardly any of the householders have begun to irrigate their lawns and yet the water supply is dangerously low in the reservoirs. Warning the consumers against wasting the water has little or no effect on them, for just so long as the water will run out of the nozzle of the hose just so long will they let it run on their lawns regard- less of how many are suffering for it for drinking purposes. The shortage seems to be on us, and “argufying’’ won’t help the sit- uation. If, therefore, the au- thorities expect to prevent a water famine they had better make stringent rules as to the use of water both by the meter users and those who do not use the meters. The man with a meter is often more wasteful with water than the one without a meter. Back to his first love may be aptly said of the board of public works, which buta few days ago elected R. H. Thomson, chair- man for the ensuing year. For the past year A. V. Bouillion has been chairman of the board, but his directorship has not given general satisfaction, and so Mr. Thomson was again placed at its head, over which he presided so many previous years. He is by far the ablest man in connection with the city affairs and former Mayor Moore was quite correct in saying, ‘‘Mr. Thomson is the brains of my administration,”’ for so far as Seattle is concerned he is the brains of every administra- tion, and this is said with no in- tention of speaking disparaging- ly of any one else.

Convicts should not be farmed to private corpor- ations to compete with free labor, nor should there be institutions established where goods may be manufactured by convicts to compete with henest manufact- urers who do not enjoy such ad- vantages in the way of procuring labor for nothing but room rent and board.

Phone Main 305 for legal work FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1909 BENCH AND BAR The Uuwritten Law—A witchcraft heresy of the nineteenth century.—The unwritten law is as great a fallacy, to our mind as was the witchcraft heresy in the seventeenth century. Surely, subsequent centuries, as they look back upon us, will be inclined to tap their heads and deplore the practical ignorance of a people who encourage a man to kill his fellow man over a woman's faithlessness, and let the woman go forth from court with a feeling of contempt for the law? It is the purpose of the Central Law Journal to combat this heresy and offer from time to time practical objection to its effectiveness as an argument—objections that will appeal, of course, to a jury, rather than to a court. For assuredly any court or judge thereof, who would give this permiscious and lawless doctrine even the faintest recognition is false to his oath of office which compels him to enforce the law and to set his face like a flint against any principle which encourages lawlessness. We will in the beginning, except from our attack those instances where a man kills another man in protecting the virtue and innocence of a woman, especially of any female member of his family from attempted insult or assault. This is not the unwritten law, it is the law sanctioned by every consideration of public policy and private right. Possibly also the despoiler has already robbed a woman of her virtue and where immediate pursuit is begun and the despoiler killed in the heat of passion, by the man to whom she stood related by any of the sacred social ties of this life, the law should reduce this crime to a low degree of manslaughter or the jury be willing to stretch their consciences by showing extreme leniency in dealing with the offender. But outside of these exceptions, which really are not exceptions at all, there is no place for the unwritten law. --- Chivalry and gallantry are usually given as the high ground upon which this rule rests. Absolutely impossible! No man, really brave or chivalrous, who had killed a man to avenge a girl's honor, would if he ever loved that girl for whom he was thus endagering his life, call upon her to lay bare to the gaze of a scornful public the secret sins in her life and to offer on the altar of her devotion for him, that which is dearer to her than life, in order to save his miserable head. Rather would he desire her mistakes to remain covered and to go to his doom conscious of the sacrifice which he has made for her. Nor do the women whose honor is thus thought to be so chivalrously protected always relish a sort of gallantry which so cowardly shows the white feather when it appears in a court of justice. Not long ago a man killed a man somewhere on the north Pacific coast and escaped the gallows by saying he did it to protect the honor of his daughter. Not long afterward that daughter killed her father, saying that her honor was safe in her own keeping until he chose to besmirch it with unfounded calumny. "Some of the men," says the Knoxville (Tenn.) Sen- SAM H. NICHOLS Who has tendered his resignation as Secretary, of State to Governor M. E. Hay on account of the damaging testimony brought out against him by the legislative investigation committee. Mr. Nichols was three times elected secretary of state, but has only served five months of his third term. He is seventy-nine years of age, but unusually vigorous for his years. He was a soldier in the great Civil War and has practically held some kind of a political job ever since he returned from the front. He will return to Everett, at which place he resided at the time of his election, where he has already made arrangements for the erection of a costly residence in which to spend his remaining days. tinel, "who murder for chivalrous reasons are as brave as the average but few or none of them are brave enough to carry their chivalry into the court room by sealing their lips. Some of them act deliberately and not in passion. It is strange that these do not reflect that love of one's own life is an even stronger motive than honor and do not search for other ways of protecting the fair name of their friend." Another strong argument that should appeal to a jury of laymen is the fact that in a great many of the cases where the unwritten law is pleaded, the "woman in the case," whose honor is sought to be protected, often deserves a worse fate than the companion of her laisons. When a man's wife goes wrong it is not usually the despoiler of her virtue that is responsible. Most often is it the case that the woman weary of her husband's attentions, seeks and encourages the caresses of strange men who cannot always be too severely blamed for yielding where there is not only no opposition but where there is often the most temping encouragement. A woman correspondent in the New York American, of April 11, 1009, presents some unusual views from the standpoint of her knowledge of the weaknesses of her own sex, that should be widely circulated. "It is the custom," says the writer, "to assume that the woman is innocent and unsophisti- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN SAM H.

It is always Marguerite and Faust, as the story is told on the witness stand in the murder case. If this were true, indeed might the unwritten law become the written law, and the blood of the home wrecker be upon his own head. But the name of the married woman who goes wrong is not Marguerite, It is Sappho. It is Faustine, it is Lais, it is Magdalen. It is absurd on the very face of it, to claim that a woman like Claudia Haines, for instance — and she is just a type of the kind of women men kill for—was enticed by Annis into being false to her husband, and that he was responsible wholly for the breaking up of Captain Haine's home. She was a married woman with three children. She lived in the midst of a gay and sophisticated society, and she was perfectly aware of the significance of everything that she did. As a matter of cold, hard fact, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, when an outraged husband cries out that some villain has robbed him of his wife she hasn't been stolen at all. She has given herself away and if the husband is determined to kill the real offender against his honor and his --- home he must slay the woman. It may be taken as an axiom that the only wives who are ever led astray are those who are perpetually on the lookout for a tempter. Only those married ladies are made love to who give men a tip that they are not averse to listening, and only those are involved in dubious situations who sidestep from the straight and narrow path. Married women are perfectly aware of the danger of playing with fire, and if they start the conflagration that burns up their honor and good repute no one can excuse them by saying that they did not know what they were about. In this country at least, every honest wife is safe and every faithless wife meets her lover half way. Hence, the absurdity of a custom that takes a man's life and lets his aider and abettor go free."—Central Law Journal. Seattle Theater "Northern Lights" is the play at the Seattle Theater this week. It has always been a favorite with the popular priced patrons in Seattle and is one of the best of all American frontier dramas. Were it offered in a $2.00 priced theater, the production that Miss Herman and her associates are giving at the Seattle Theatre would make good. True, the star has not a part this week that enables her to show her ability as an emotional actress, but her Helen Dare is a winsome part and makes her friends in the audience. Mr. Wright's John Swiftwind, the educated Indian, is a capital performance. Every member of the company lend earnest and conscientious support, and the result is, a very clever production. The play runs until Saturday night, with the usual matinee. "For Her Children's Sake" next week. This play is a companion to "The Fatal Wedding," by the same author, Theodore Kremer. In the east Miss Herman starred in this play for two years under the management of Sullivan, Harris & Woods, and she is accounted the best card in the popular priced theaters of the east in this play. The title of the play alone compels attention. The outline of the plot is woven around the love affair of a mother and daughter, in which are centered all the joys and sorrows that go to make up life. It is really the first play in which Miss Herman has a chance to display her ability as an emotional actress. Little Edyth Raynore appears as one of the children next week.

Trying to make Republican or Democrat votes is the reason why the tariff is being tinkered with instead of adjusted by the present congress If there should be a clean sweep in the office of the secretary of state when Brer Sam quits a good many Nichols will be found in the rubbish. Teddy has laid low three African lions, but whether he killed them with his trusted rifles or his proverbal big stick the dispatches failed to say. Our Teddy is all right. "Fixing the Tariff," is a headline. The article following, however, does not say who it is that is fixing the tariff, and yet the consumer will soon know that it has been "fixed" by some one. "Don't Waste Water" is a P.I. headline intended to be a warning to water consumers If half is true that has been officially said about the water condition, the warning is hardly necessary for there will be no water to waste. More wheat by a good many bushels have been recently sold by the wheat gamblers than the world can produce in the next decade. Those are the captains of industry that are held up to the rising generations as ideal citizens. "No occupation" is applied to women who take care of their own homes. No occupation, I say! The woman who successfully takes care of the home she lives in and rears a family of children is the director general of the world, and every man in the world should doff their hats to her. If Seattle does not make Seattle Day at the A. Y. P. exposition, the most attractive day from a Seattle standpoint, of any day during the life time of the fair, then some one should get hold of a big stick and kill the Seattle Spirit so dead that it would never breathe again. Not only should large numbers of Seattle folk attend the exposition Seattle Day, but every home should in some marked way be decorated for the occasion. In other words make Seattle Day extend not only to the exposition grounds, but to every home in the city. The explosion of a gasoline tank connected with the plant of the Ranier Valley Record caused the death of Mr. Nash, one of the proprietors of the plant, and the serious burning of Mrs. Gill in her attempt to extinguish the fire that fatally burned Mr. Nash. After a series of trials and tribulations the proprietors of the paper got things to running smoothly, and just as this had been accomplished this fatal accident occurred. The man or woman who depends upon the color of the skin he or she wears to take him successfully through this world is such a notorious damphool that Thompson's colt, that swam the river to get a drink, was a Solomon in comparison. "Fire the Jap" is a great slogan that a lot of hair brained labor unionites are advocating throughout the country just now. Its not the Japs that are the common enemies to the commonweal but the labor union agitators, and if any one is to be fired the latter and not the former should be. "Within the past seven years," says William Travers Jerome, district attorney of Greater New York, "one hundred thousand criminals passed through my office," which is not doubted by the general public, but it is thought by a great many persons that a great majority never stopped in the office long enough to get acquainted. Consumptives to be sure are in a most pitiable condition, but that is no reason why they should be permitted to live in snch close proximity to others that they would probably put them in an equally pitiable condition as themselves. It does not help a dying person for living persons to commit suicide because he or she is dying. If the policemen of this city succeed in organizing a band among themselves they will have at last found a way to completely drown the memories of the eight hours they spend each day with their left hands behind them while in their right hands they hold a dangerous looking billy in a threatening attitude. It is to be regretted that Gov. Hughes of New York will not attend the fair. Not so much because his presence would be of any general benefit to those who will visit the fair, but because he is something of a show within himself and all curios at such places are splendid drawing cards, which bring in the money, and its the money that the fair folks want. In declaring "I have done no wrong," Secretary Nichols evidently is of the opinion that insurance companies are legitimae prey and that he was free from sin if he only grafted them but did not rob the state out of anything that was coming to her. This reminds us of the report that was recently sent out from Atlanta, Ga., by the agent of the Associated Press, after a severe storm had passed over that section, "There was no damage done by the storm to properey at this point and no lives lost, four 'niggers' however, were killed." Fallacy of Caste System A caste system must be like a pyramid, each layer representing a broader area than the one which rests upon it.

For assuredly any court or judge thereof, who would give this perniscious and lawless doctrine even the faintest recog- nition is false to his oath of of- fice which compels him to en- force the law and to set his face likea flint against any principle which encourages lawlessness. We will in the beginning, ex- cept from our attack those in- stances where a man kills an- other manin protecting the vir- tue and innocence of a woman, especially of any female member of his family from attempted in- sult or assauult. This is not the unwritten law, itis thelaw sanc- tioned by every consideration of public policy and private right. Possibly also the despeiler has already robbed a woman of her virtue and where immediate pur- suit is begun and the despoiler killed in the heat of passion, by the man to whom she stood re- lated by any of the sacred social ties of this life, the law should reduce this crime to alow degree of manslaughter or the jury be willing to stretch their conse- iences by showing extreme leni- ency in dealing with the offend- er. But outside of these excep- tions, which really are not ex- eeptions at all, there is no place for the unwriten law. Chivalry and gallantry are us- ually given as the high ground upon which this rule rests, Ab- solutely impossible! No man, really brave or chivalrous, who had killed a man to avengea girl’s honor, would if he ever loved that girl for whom he was thus endagering his life, call upon her to lay bare to the gaze of a scornful public the secret sins in her life and to offer on the altar of her devotion for him, that which is dearer to her than life, in order to save his miserable head. Rather would he desire her mistakes to remain covered and to go to his doom conscious of the sacrifice which he has made for her. Nor do the women whose hon- + or is thus thought to be so chiv- alrously protected always relish a sort of gallantry which so cow- ardly shows the white feather when it appears in a court of justice. Not long ago a man killed a man somewhere on the north Pacific coast and escaped the gallows by saying he did it _to protect the honorof his dau- ghter. Not long afterward that ee cee ie ete 8) tn Sathen ant. ee a ah . 4 pe. (CC ; ae See x Die eee =.

It is strange that these do not reflect that love of one’s own life is an even stronger mo- tive than honor and do not search for other ways of protecting the fair name of their friend.”’ Another strong argument that should appeal toa jury of lay- men is the fact that in a great many of the cases where the un- written law is pleaded, the “woman in the case,’’ whose honoris sought to be protected, often deserves a worse fate than the companion of her laisons. When a man’s wife goes wrong it is not usually the despoiler of her virtue that is responsible, Most often is it the case that the woman weary of her husband’s attentions, seeks and encourages the caresses of strange men who cannot always be too severely blamed for yielding where there is not only no opposition but where there is often the -most temping encouragement, ‘ A woman correspondent in the New York American, of April 11, 1009, presents some unusual views from the standpoint of her knowledge of the weaknesses of her own sex, that should be widely circulated. “Tt is the custom,’ says the writer, ‘‘to assume that the wo- man is innocent and unsophisti- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN cated as Eve before the fall, and that when the serpent enters in- to the domestic Eden he wriggles in uninvited by her, and proceeds to use all the arts and blandish- ments of the worldling to tempt her into straying down the prim- rose path with him. Itis always Marguerite and Faust, as the story is told on the witness stand in the murder case. If this were true, indeed might the unwritten law become the writ- ten law, and the blood of the home wrecker be upon his own head. But the name of the mar- ried woman who goes wrong is not Marguerite, It is Sappho. Itis Faustine, it is Lais, it is Magdalen. It is absurd on the very face of it, to claim that a woman like Claudia Haines, for instance — and she is just a a type of thekind of women men kill for— was enticed by Annis into being false to her husband, and that he was responsible wholly for the breaking up of Captain Haine’s home. She was a married woman with three children. She livedin the midst of a gay and sophisticated soci- ety, and she was perfectly aware of the significance of everything that she did. As a matter of cold, hard fact, in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, when an outraged husband cries out that some villain has robbed him of his wife she hasn’t been stolen at all. She has given herself away and if the husband is de- termined to kill the real offend- er against his honor and his home he must slay the woman. It may be taken as an axiom that the only wives who are ever led astray are those who are perpet- ually on the lookout for a temp- ter. Only those married ladies are made love to who give men a tip that they are not averse to listening, and only those are involved in dubious situations who sidestep from the straight and narrow path. Married wom- en are perfectly aware of the danger of playing with fire, and if they start the conflagration that burns up their honor and good repute noone can excuse them by saying that they did not know what they were about. In this country at least, every hon- est wife is safe and every faith- less wife meets her lover half way. Hence, the absurdity of a custom that takes a man’s life and lets his aider and abettor go free.’’—Central Law Journal. Seattle Theater “Northern Lights’’ is the play at the Seattle Theater this week. It has always been a favorite with the popular priced patrons in Seattle and is one of the best of all American frontier dramas. Were it offered in a $2.00 priced theater, the production that Miss Herman and her associates are giving at the Seattle Theatre would make good. True, the star has not a part this week that enables her to show her ability as an emotional actress, but her Helen Dare is a winsome part and makes her friends in the au- dience. Mr. Wright’s John Swiftwind, the educated Indian, is a capital performance. Ev- ery member of the company lend earnest and conscientious sup- port, and the result is, a very clever production. The play runs until Saturday night, with the usual matinee. “For Her Children’s Sake’’ next week. This play is a com- panionto ‘“The Fatal Wedding,”’ by the same author, Theodore Kremer. In the east Miss Her- man starred in this play for two yearsiunder the management of Sullivan, Harris &%Woods, and she is accounted the best card in the popular priced theaters of the east in this play. The title of the play alone compels atten- tion. The outline of the plot is woven around the love affair of a mother and daughter, in which ‘are centered all the joys and sor- rows that go tomake up life. It is really the first play in which Miss Herman has a chance to display her ability as an emo- tionalactress. Little Edyth Ray- nore appears as one of the chil- dren’next week.
