Hay is assured of a sufficient number of members of the legislature to impeach Insurance Commissioner Schively or not should under no circumstances enter into the question whether or not the governor call an extraaa session of the legislature. Grave charges have been made against that department of the state government and not only been made, but to an extent been proven and no power short of the legislature itself can so clear the atmosphere that the accused may either go scott free for lack of good and sufficient evidence or be found guilty and dismissed from the state government commended for the part things to light, yet he w he has been commended come a personal one and together lest there be no islature who thinks as he not convict the accused of public, its due the accus that a thorough and swine the all powerful legislature of all concerned Gov. Hay refuses to have tra session he will be ch to a general whitewash because they are Repub upon him in the next s fall upon either Mr. Sch According to the day to call the legislature in practically sets at rest a By that time the committee the various state office ready to make a report ommendation whereby they may be remedied. Owii rumors that are daily he ness of some of the state institutions and th he seems to be the unanit that the convening of th the only business like th he seems to be no friction islative committee despite Liar continues to annou from the state government. While Gov. Hay is to be commended for the part he has played in bringing these things to light, yet he will be as severely condemned as he has been commended if he permits the matter to become a personal one and refuses to call the legislature together lest there be not enough members in the legislature who thinks as he does on the subject and would not convict the accused guilty or innocent. Its due the public, its due the accused and its due common justice that a thorough and sweeping investigation be made by the all powerful legislative body as to the guilt or innocence of all concerned. If under the circumstances Gov. Hay refuses to have the legislature convene in extra session he will be charged with having been a party to a general whitewash of guilty state officials simply because they are Republicans and more odium will fall upon him in the next state campaign than has or will fall upon either Mr. Schively or Mr. Nichols. According to the daily press Gov. Hay has decided to call the legislature in extra session June 23rd, which practically sets at rest all speculation on the subject. By that time the committee that has been investigating the various state offices and state institutions will be ready to make a report of its findings as well as a recommendation whereby the evils and abuses of the past may be remedied. Owing to the hundred and one ugly rumors that are daily heard about the financial rottenness of some of the state officials, the directors of the state institutions and the various state commissions it seems to be the unanimous opinion of the tax payers that the convening of the legislature in extra session is the only business like thing for Gov. Hay to do. There seems to be no friction between Gov. Hay and the legislative committee despite the fact the Seattle Evening Liar continues to announce to the contrary. Mr. Schively has emphatically informed the investigating committee, Gov. Hay and the attorney general that he would not resign and it is up to them to remove him from office. Evidently he feels that the committee has no incriminating evidence against him or that a sufficient number of the members of the legislature will stand with him evidence or no evidence and refuse to impeach him. No one is guilty until he or she has been proven so and for the press, the pulitb and people in general to rail at Mr. S embezzler and bribetake either by a jury of his peaches him is not fair ped where it now is the badly buncoed and if the adminstration over to portunity then we great general to rail at Mr. Schively and pronounce him an embezzler and bribetaker before he has been convicted either by a jury of his peers or before the legislature impeaches him is not fair to him. If the matter is dropped where it now is the public will feel that it has been badly buncoed and if the voters do not turn the state adminstration over to another party at their next opportunity then we greatly miss our guess.

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1909 If the National Surety Bonding Company tries to crawl out of paying the shortage of Ortis Hamilton on on the technicality that he never took the oath of office then that company should be marked in the state of Washington and every man of business refuse to accept any bond written by it. This is not the only Surety company that has been operating in this state that has attempted to crawl out of paying its just obligations on a technicality and if the business men of the state will just retaliate by refusing to accept any of the bonds such companies write it would not be long before not only the National Surety Bonding Company, but every other bonding company doing business in the state would be glad of an opportunity to pay any of their clients' shortage. Bonding companies for the most part are badly tainted with the graft and dead beat idea as they never fail to raise a quibble or try to split hairs whenever they are called upon to make good their bonds. How strange that the National Surety Bonding Company should have just discovered that Hamilton had never taken the oath of office. It is either willfully trying to rob the state out of its just dues or it did actually rob Hamilton out of his just dues. J. H. known all about it or he was a fish, and if the latter be true then its all the more reason that he should be turned out of the office. Let not only the grafters go, but those who associated with them, for the public is of the opinion that they are all tarred with the same stick. known all about it or he was a fist true then its all the more reason t ed out of the office. Let not only those who associated with them, opinion that they are all tarred w M.

Now M and talking about political machious to see the law repealed beli along without an inspector so der the second law the appointment of the inspector was put into the governor's hands and he has named a man of his own picking, ignoring the man Mr. Potts had selected for the job. Now Mr. Potts is grumbling and talking about political machines, etc., and is anxious to see the law repealed believing that he can get along without an inspector so long as he cannot name him. The state is overloaded today with just such jobs as this hotel inspection law, and which have been created to make good berths for some members of the legislature or their friends. When the legislative body is given to understand that it cannot create the offices and dictate the appointments perhaps the members will not be so free to foist upon the state needless officials. Willapa Harbor Pilot. CAPT. I. M. HOWELL Senator Potts of Seattle was one, of those on the inside at the last session of the legislature and secured the passage of two pet measures, one providing that hotels of a given number of rooms (which took in his hotel) should be permitted to sell liquor on Sunday and another bill providing for a hotel inspector. In both of these pet measures Senator Potts has been blocked by Governor Hay. The first measure was vetoed and un- Historical Society While Capt. I. M. Howell, the new secretary of state, has retained the old Nichols crew, nevertheless he has issued orders that no more grafting is to be done in the office by the clerks working after hours and charging the tax payers enormous prices for the same. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN still hopes that Mr. Howell will see the situation as the general public does and make a clean-sweep in the office force. Ben R. Fish may be a very able man, but it will be remembered that he was the chief deputy in the office of Sam. H. Nichols and if Nichols was doing any grafting then Fish must have W. G. POTTS Volume XVI, Number 2. H. R. CAYTON, Publisher [Image of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. the direction of the Piles port. I confess to you that I supported Senator Ankeny in the last campaign, I supported him because he was a warm personal friend of mine and yet I had nothing in the world against Wesley L. Jones, but before I make the point that I set out to do, I want to further confess to you that I believe Mr. Jones will make a much more able and effective senator than did or would Senator Ankeny, but having cast my lot with the Ankeny forces I have no apologies to make for supported him. I do not think I either exagerate or speak falsely when I say to you that not a single Ankeny man in Eastern Washington will support Senator Piles for re-election. In my opinion Senator Piles is so dead that he will not even know when the next election time comes round. Perhaps he has made a fairly good senator from Seattle stand point, but he has betrayed the very friends that were responsible for him being in the senate. One word from the Ankeny leaders and the Hon. John L. Wilson would have been elected to succeed Senator Foster by an overwhelming vote, and, bitter as he was against Senator Ankeny, he could and would not have done the Senator any greater political injury than has Senator Piles. No, Senator Piles did not openly take the stump against Senator Ankeny, but Senator Ankeny would have fayed a great deal better if he had done so for his followers would have known exactly where to locate him. His support of Senator Ankeny was given in an apologetic way, which did him more harm than good. Finally to add insult to injury after Senator Ankeny left the senate he aided Senator Jones to turn out every Ankeny supporter, which verified what the Ankeny forces had already openly charged him with, being clandestinely against the re-election of Senator Ankeny. Senator Piles tried to politically slobber over both Senator Ankeny and former Senator John L. Wilson and made such a muss of it that neither of them will give him any aid in his endeavor to succeed himself. If Piles is foolish enough to come out for re-election he will not get enough votes in all Eastern Washington to realize that—he, 'also ran.'" "As to whom from King county would prove a winning candidate for United States senator I am not quite prepared to answer, but it strikes me just now that he writes his name WILSON and yet I am inclined to think that Judge Burke would get a great many votes in Eastern Washington. He in all probability would carry Walla Walla county and make a mighty big hole in Spokane county, though I am inclined to think Senator Wilson would lead the fight in that county for I am creditably informed the Review would support Senator Wilson. If King county, however, has three or four candidates in the field my candid opinion is that Frank Cushman will walk away with the plum, that is providing Pierce county does as she has threatened to do, hold a local primary election of that county to decide which man she will support for the senatorial nomination, and if Cushman is the lucky man, as he in all probability would be. If King county should likewise hit upon such a plan as that and if Senator Wilson would be the lucky man, or if King county should have three candidates for the senatorial nomination, for instance Piles, Wilson and Humphries, then I believe Wilson would win out because he is as strong if not stronger than Cushman in the southwest and I think would break even with him in Eastern Washington. If Cushman does not go into the fight, and if Senator Piles and Senator Wilson are pitted against each other, then Wilson is just as sure to win the fight as the election day comes off. I say this because Senator Wilson has his friends throughout the state and in addition to his friends in a contest between him and Piles he would get all of the Ankeny friends. Senator Wilson will stay by his friends and the friends of Senator Ankeny do not believe that Senator Piles is troubled with that characteristic. S. H. PILES "I do not wish to be quoted in a political way," came from a well known politician from Eastern Washington one day this week, "but I have been keeping my eyes open for some time and I think I see which way the political tide, and especially the senatorial tide, is flowing just now and I do not think it is flowing in IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington for King County.

Legal Publications a Specialty. — BENCH AND BAR The Initiative and leferen- dum. —1. Some of the states and municipalities of this coun- try have adopted in their char- ters and system of laws the prin- ciple of the initiative and refer; endum as it obtains in the fed- eral governments of Switzerland and New Zealand. The consti- tutionality of legislation adopted in accordance with this princi- ple has been in some form or other, brought into question be- fore the courts of some of the states, as well as the courts of the United States. The princi- pal question involved in the con- sideration of the constitutionality of such legislation has been whether it has been opposed to a republican form of government as provided for in section 4 of ar- ticle IV of the constitution of the United States. In considering this question, the courts have been brought to a consideration of the further question of what is meant by- this guaranty of a republican form of government. That a people of a state may re- seeve the supervisory control as to local and general state legis- lation afforded by the initiative and referendum, without violat- ing this provision of the federal constitution, is the conelusion of the supreme courts of both Cali- fornia and Oregon in cases in which this questisn has been di- rectly presented. Indirectly the question has been considered by both state and federal cousts in anumber of cases in which are to be found intimations of a sim- ilar doctrine. It is the purpose of this article to briefly review the principal cases which have touched upon this questioni 2, Initiative and Referendum Closely related. —There is neces- sarily a difference in the pro- ceedings for obtainirig the ex-| pression of the will of the elec- tor when exercising the privi- lege of initiating a measure and that whereby a measure is re- ferred to them from some official | source. But the distinction be-| tween the principle of the initia-| tive and referendum is in the nature of an artificial refinement for in either case, it is the final vote of the people that gives the| proposed legislation its validity. | It can really make no difference | so far as it concerns the power) of the people to participate di-| rectly in the adoption of legisla-| tion, whether the proposed meas-| ure is first suggested by a cer-| tain percentum of the electors, | or is first suggested by the legis- | lature and referred to the elec-| tors for their approval or disap-| proval. In ‘either case the pro-| rosal is submitted through a| designated origin ~ — upon the} initiative of one or more persons, | — — but so longas the ultimate | decision is left to the willof the) people at the ballot box, it is es- pecially republican. it 8. Republican Form of Gov-|t nment, — Section 4 of Article|‘ V, of the constitution of thel Jnited States provides that, the | Vii Wan a se ow every state in this union a repub- lican form of government, and shall protect each of then against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the execu- tive, (when the legislature can- not be convened), against do- mestic violence. In first place, under this pro- vision of the federal constitution, (1) Hopkins y. City, 81 Minn. 189 itrests with congress to decide what government is the estab- lished one in a state. For as the United States guarantees to each state a republican gover- nment, congress must necessar- fly decide what government is established in the state before it can determine whether it is re- publican or not. — — And its decision is binding upon ev- ery other department of the government, and could not be questioned in a judicial tribunal. It is true that the contest in this ‘case did not last long enough to bring the matter to this issue; and — — congress was not called upon to decide the’contro- versy. Yet the right to decide is placed there, and not in the courts. | This guaranty of a republican form of government is to every state, and it is believed, has nothing to do with purely munic- ipal governments. .A republican form of government, as contem- plated by this section of the con- stitution, relates to the form of government for the state at large— a unit of the same gener- al nature as the thirteen original states which united to form the federal union. ‘‘It may be true,’’ said the supreme court of the United States, ‘‘that the general rule is that the determination of territorial boundaries of a munic- ipal corporation is purely a legis- lative function, but there is noth- ing in the federal constitution to prevent the people of a state from giving, if it sees fit, full jurisdiction over such matters to the courts and taking it entirely away from the legislature. The preservation of legislative con- trol in such matters is not one of the essential elements of a re- publican form of government which, under section 4 of article IV, of the constitution, the United States are bound to guar- antee to every state in this union.”” Under the federal constitution no particular government is des- ignated as republican. nor is the exact form to be guaranteed in any manner especially designat- ed.

S. 506, 519. ““The guarantee, ’” it was said by the United States | Supreme Court, ‘‘necessarily im-| plies the duty on the part of the states themselves to supply such | a government. All the states | had governments when the con- | stitution wes adopted. — —| These goyernments the 'constitu- | tion did not change. They were| accepted precisely as they were, | and it is therefore, tobe presum-| ed that they were such us it was fhe duty’oh tevamtes4e provide | THE SATTLE REPUBLICAN Se eee eS ee stitution probably had no notion that a republican form of govern- ment was menaced by the vigor- ous and flourishing local govern- ments which universally pervad- ed at feast four of the orginal thirteen states — the system known as the New England towns; a system which has been dispersed with Various modifica- tions in a number of the newer states of the Union. It might be of interest land town organiz- ation as it existed prior to the formation of the federal consti- tuion, left us in the writings of that able lawyer and statesman, John Adams, who probably knew the system as intimately as any- body could possibly know it. “The towns in many parts of America.”’ wrote Mr. Adams, “are small districts of territory, on an average perhaps six miles square. By the ancient laws of the country, which are still in force, any seven inhabitants of [one of these towns, have a right to demand of the magistrates a public assembly of all. There are necessarily several of these town meetings a year, and gen- erally a great numberof them, In these assemblies every man high and low, every yeoman, tradesman, and every days la- borer, as well as every gentle- man and public magistrate, has aright to vote and to speak his sentiments upon public affairs, |to propose measures, to instruct representatives in the legislature, ete. (5) Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall, 162, 175, 176. This right was constantly and fre- |quently used under the former government, and is now much more frequently used under the new.’” Such a system as described by John Adams, prevalent through- out four states which united to form the constitution, was not considered to be inimical to a re- publican form of government; Minor v. Happersett, 21 Wall, 176; on the contrary it flourished in those states where the spirit of republicanism was the most uncompromising. As we have seen above, seven inhabitants of one of those towns could initiate an assemblage of the whole law making body, and when it was convened, any one of them had aright to propose measures and vote on the same. 4, .

The init- jiative is in its very nature a con- dition precedent to the referen- dum. | The initiative and referendum insome form or other have been introduced into the legislative systems of South Dakota, Ne- |braska, California, Iowa and Or- /egon; but no part of the world with the exception of Switzer- land and New Zealand, has been invested with © the democratic power conferred upon Oklahoma. by her new constitution: The provision of the Oklahoma ‘constitution for the iniative and| ‘referendum are given below: The legislative authority of| the state shall be vested ina leg: islature, consisting of a senate| ee ee ee ee ee act of the legislature. The first power reserved by the people is the initiative, and eight per cent of the legal voters shall have the right to propose any legislative measures, and fifteen per cent of the legal voters shall have the right to propose amend- ments to the constitution by pe- tition, and every such petition shall include the full text of the measure proposed. The second power is the referendum, and it may be ordered either by petition signed by five per cent of the legal voters or by the legislature as other bills are enacted. The ratio and percentum of legal vot- ers shall be based upon the total number of votes cast at the last general election for the state of- ficers receiving the highest num- ber of votes at such election. In Florida one-fourth of the registered voters of any county may call an election by the initi- atsve within the county on the subject of prohibition. Revised Statutes of Florida, 1892, p. 239 In Georgia one-tenth of the vot- ers qualified to vote for the mem- bers of the general assembly in any county in the state may in- voke the initiative. Georgia Code, 1895, sec. 1514, et seq. Similar provisions are contained in the statues of Minnesota, the Code of Mississippi, the Revised statutes of Missouri, the Montana Code, the Code of Virginia, the statutas of Wisconsin, and the law of New Jersey. 5. The Initiative and Refer- endum in the Light of the Con- stitution.—In some of the early. cases there may be found some expression of opinion by the courts, mostly dictum, to the ef- fect that direct legislation by the people is impracticable, and re- pugnant to the principles of a representative government un- der the federal constitution. These cases were decided when the principles of the initiative and referendum was compara- tively new in this country. Pos- sibly the leading example of this class of decisions is the product of the supreme court of the state of Pennsylvania. It was there held in Parker vy. Commonwealth in 1847, that, ‘‘If the two houses can divest themselves of the of- fice of law makers, and devolve it upon the body of the people, what security hav= we against the passage of laws, perhaps well meant, but likely to be glar- ingly wrong, because inconsider- ately adopted? And what check is left upon hasty and ill-advised zeal, open to be influenced and misguided by interested cunning or blind fanaticism? If the prac- tice be sanctioned, there must follow a train of experiments which unarrested at some point of their progress, must end in the final overthrow of the con- stitution. Every case of doubt- ful propriety will be referred to the result of a ballot; and acts of assembly subject to the popu- lar vote, will be yielded to un- thinking clamor or partisan im- portunity, by faithless legisla- tors anxious to escape the re- sponsibility of their position.’’ The Delaware court, in the case of Rice v, Foster, declared that, ‘‘Wherever the power of eae FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1907 Se VES) SO ee) eee tional control or a restraining power, no security to the rights of individuals, or to the perman- ent peace and safety of society, In every government founded on popular will, the people, though intending to do right, are the subjectof impulse and passion; and have been betrayed into acts of folly, rashness and enormity, by the flattery, deception and in- fluence of demagogues.’” The Pennsylvania case, supra, was overruled by the court which gave it birth, and the supreme court of Illinois pointed out what it conceived to be the error of both that and the Delaware case, supra, in People vy. Reynolds, The views of the Illinois court respecting the Pennsylvania and Delaware cases were afterward approved by the supreme court of California, in the case of Up- ham vy. Supervisors -of Sutter county. New-York’s court of last re- sort, have expressed their views upon some phases of the under- lying principles of the initiative and referendum. In the case of Thorne v. Cramer, the superior court said: ‘The doctrine that | no harm can result from allowing ithe people to exercise, directly, the law-making power, is more plausible than sound. If it were alegitimate subject for investi- gation at this time, we think it might be easily shown that some of the worst evils necessarily flow from such violation of the fundamental law. The constitu- tion has wisely deposited the leg- \islative power in the hands of a limited number of chosen men. This is done, partly, because of the impracticability of having laws passed in a mass assembl- age of the people; and, partly, because it is supposed that the chosen representatives will be better qualified for the duty than a considerable portion of the electors. Itis hardly necessary to say that many voters are not in all respects qualified to become governors or legislators. They may have discretion enough to select suitable men for their of- ficers; but. if they were put di- rectly to the business of passing laws themselves they would be quite out of their element.’”’ In another case, decided by New York’s court of last resort, it was held that, “If this mode of legislation is permitted to be- come general, it will soon bring ‘toa close the whole system of representative government which has been so justly our pride. The legislature will be- come an irresponsible body, too timid to assume the responsibil- ity of law givers, and with just wisdom enough to devise subtle schemes of imposture to mislead the people. All the checks against improvidént legislation will be swept away; and the character of the constitution will be radically changed.” In an early Michigan case it was said by the supreme court that, ‘‘Publie opinion will pre- vail; but it will be enlightened, deliberate and organically ex- pressed public opinion. It is this opinion alone which the consti- tution designed should govern. Such a grant secures deliber- FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 1909 mary and individual capacity to make laws. They do this by their representatives." The recent decisions of the courts bearing directly or indirectly on the subject of the initiative and referendum hold that the principles involved is entirely agreeable to a republican form of government; and so far as our investigation has extended, there is no decision to the contrary. Some of the wisest publicists of of the age approve this tendency towards a direct form of legislation which is manifesting itself in modern times. In 1901, an amendment to the constitution of the state of Colorado was adopted, creating the city and county of Denver. One of the provisions of the amendment is that the city council shall (Continued Next Week) A. Y. P. E. BLOOMS The much heralded Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition hove into port last Tuesday morning and was safely anchored at noon of the same day, when the Tactful Taft, President of the United States of America, with his golden key touched the button that dropped the anchor, which will remain in its mooring for the next five months. Seattle never does things by halves and the attending crowd on the opening day was a most excellent verification of that stubborn fact. But a few thousands short of the 100,000 mark of attendance was the record of the opening day, which was one-half as large as the attendance of the opening day at the Chicago exposition, but a few thousand short of that number that attendeded the opening of the exposition at St. Louis and twice as large as the attendance of the opening day at the Portland exposition. The opening day was not exactly Seattle Day, but Seattle day will not go very far ahead of it, for of that great concourse of people, the most of them were Seattleites although Tacoma had a small delegation among the number. The country districts of King county likewise furnished a small quota. The show was ready for the opening and it is the concensus of opinion among those who have seen the most of such expositions held either in this country or in foreign lands that the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition is the most brilliant success of them them all. The grounds and the whole exposition presents one of the most beautiful as well as marvelous pieces of handiwork that human hands have ever fashioned. The amphitheater is remarkable for its simplicity and likewise its capacity to seat multiplied thousands of people. As the thousands sat in the great pit listening to the opening addresses by the "big ones," they presented a panoramic view the likes of which have never before been witnessed by human eyes. If this great exposition does not sufficiently advertise itself to attract the largest attendance of any fair in the history of modern civilization then we will be sadly mistaken. If every detail about the fair was not complete on the opening day those in charge so skillfully covered up the defects that the visitor was not able to detect it. The whole country should feel PRESIDENT WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, WHO PRESSED THE BUTTON proud of the exposition, the Northwest delighted and Seattle in the height of her glory. Its a foregone conclusion that the exposition will be a great financial success and the Northwest will receive an advertising which should result in millions of persons settling in this section with the view of bettering their conditionss over what they are where they now reside. Every- body and his brother connected with the launching of the exposition are to be congratulated and therefore THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN singles no one out, but says "good boys" to all of them. MAYOR JOHN F. MILLER CATECHISED MAYOR JOHN F. MILLER CATECHISED SEAATLE, Wash., May 21, 1909 Hon. John F. Miller. Mayor City of Seattle. DEAR SIR:—As a citizen of Seattle I should like to make a few suggestions to you relative to vice and especially that part of it which relates to the sporting fraternity. For years your Chamber of Commerce and the press of this city have invited people to come to Seattle. No distinction has ever been made as to only whether the good should be received and the bad rejected, consequently as our dyors are thrown open for all, the question that you have to meet is like the reference to the wheat and the chaff in the Bible. There has always been some good and some bad, and it is useless to think that you can purify Seattle or that you can drive out vice. Christ tried to redeem and reform the world and he was crucified as we all know. People are no better today than they were in the days of Christ. You have closed up the dead line district with the result that you have driven sporting women all over the city of Seattle into hotels, lodging houses and apartment houses, and you now have matters in such a shape that at any hour of the night between 8 o'clock and 12 o'clock a man can go along First, Second and Third avenues or Pike street and ob- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN AM HOWARD TAFT, WHO PRESSED will receive an advertising which should result in millions of persons settling in this section with the view of bettering their conditions over what they are where they now reside. Every- body a with the sition and the PUBLIC says " JOHN F. MILLER CATECH --- tain the high sign. The "P-I." says that you want a squad of 20 or 25 men to drive out the bad women; if you do that you'll simply get rid of the old sports for a while and make room for new ones. Seattle has too many places of inlet and outlet; if you drive them out by the Sound route they will come in again by Lake Washington or vice versa. In ninety-five cases out of a hundred the first blow that drove these women to an unfortunate life came from a man. Why should you undertake to unceasingly persecute them and drive them out of their homes? They have as much right to live as you and I. Because a committee of women calle:l to see you, you closed up the district at 8th and Plummer streets. How any intelligent or refined person would want to live in the neighborhood of 8th avenue and Plummer street is a mystery to me, as it has never been anything else but a dirty hole in the winter time and not very much better in the summer time and not a desirable place for any one to bring children up. Those who are agitating this matter are overlooking the fact that there are just as many girls, young women, married women and grass widows who do not live in the dead line district that are doing wrong every day or are willing to do it for the sake of a new waist, a new hat, a new pair of shoes, or a five dollar gold piece, and yet nothing is said regarding these women and no attempt is made to stop them. Your police are permitting a number of blind pigs to do business; the police are permitting club rooms and gambling houses to run day after day and no attempt is made to stop them. For years unlawful abortions in Seattle have been as thick as blackberries in the summer time, and we have not had more than one or two prosecutions. Why then wage war on these unfortunate creatures? Seven or eight years ago people bought lots here with a view of building little homes. Along came the city council and in order to make money for the contractors passed ordinances for streets, alleys, sidewalks, sewers and other matters and if the property owner could not pay he lost his property and he had to take his medicine. The same is true of many people in the re-grade district; the same is true of many who could not pay their taxes, they all had to take their medicine. There is only one thing that you can do, let the narrow minded, the shallow brained, the near sighted and the ignorant yell themselves hoarse if they want to, they are simply in the minority. The broad minded people of this city and the majority of the people of the city know that a district for the sporting women and the sporting element is absolutely necessary, therefore, do one of two things: Select a district, put it under police protection and let it remain, or do away with some of the weak vessels that are now in the city council and get a council that will stand by you and then under proper ordinance condemn enough property in Seattle for a deadline district, put a stockade around it and put it under police protection and then have the matter ended for once and all. Very truly yours, A. J. SPECKERT. 429-430 Epler Blk., Seattle. Seattle Cleaning Up The mayor and council of the city of Seattle are wrestling with the problem of regulating the social evil, and as a result a determined crusade will be made by the police under direction of Mayor Miller to drive vice from the city limits. This action is made necessary because it has been found impossible to settle upon any section of the city to become a restricted district, owing to the protests of the citizens and property owners. The city council favored a segregation of vice as did a number of representative citizens with whom the Mayor conferred, but the matter of selecting a district proved an insupportable obstacle and it was decided that the only thing to do is to suppress immorality in every form so far as the police department is able to cope with the evil. This action is a significant one as showing the growth of public sentiment towards the suppression of vice and immorality. The day is passing when the open existence of houses of ill-repute will be tolerated by any community and like the saloon, will eventually be driven from decent localities. Seattle has long been known as a "wide open" town, but her people have begun to realize that it is an unenviable reputation and that they would attract people who wish to make homes and raise their families amid favorable surroundings, the old order of things must be abolished and the reign of vice curtailed. May her efforts prove successful and her example be followed by every municipality in the state. -Willapa Harbor Pilot.

April 21—June 4, 1999 THE CAYTON HOUSE 2107 EAST JAMES STREET 80 Farewell to Worthy Couple At the A. M. E. church Monday occurred a farewell reception in honor of Prof. and Mrs. W. F. Teister, who are leaving Crawfordsville probably never to return, after a residence here of fourteen years. They took the afternoon Monon train for Chicago on their way to Seattle where they will arrive on Friday to make that city their future home. The reception at the church was in charge of Rev. Barbee, the pastor, and there was a large turnout of the colored and white friends of the worthy couple. The colored band under the leadership of Eugene Jackson, rendered a half dozen choice selections and the W. M. White male quartet sang several numbers. The musical part of the programme was interpersed with speeches by Chas. Hunter, Prof. Teister, Zack Williams, Judge West and Mrs. Teister, and a letter was read by Miss Blanche Patterson from an Indianapolis member of the A. M. E. missionary society voicing the regret of the missionary workers of the state at Mrs. Teister's departure. The occasion was one of regret but also of good cheer and good wishes for long and useful lives for Mr. and Mrs. Teister. After the programme was over an elegant supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Teister are among the best known colored people in Indiana, where they have lived in different cities for many years. For many years they taught in the public schools and wherever they have been their influence has been for the best things and Mrs. Cayton has just fitted up a number of rooms at 2107 East James Street and is prepared to accommodate persons wanting rooms by the day or week. A number of rooms will be held in reserve for transients, and large delegations can be accommodated if she is but notified a few days before they arrive. Each room is comfortably furnished with new furniture and everything has been done to make the guests comfortable. Out-of-the-city people, who expect to come to Seattle within the present summer to visit the fair, would do well to make The Cayton their headquarters. It is the intention of the management to make the Cayton House as comfortable for its guests as they are at their homes, and yet at rates so reasonable that no one need stay away from the Exposition lest he or she be charged an exorbitant price for a nice roo mfor a few days. Two lines for the Exposition grounds. 1 The Alaska-Yukon Exposition is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant shows that has ever been thrown open to the public and you will miss a rare treat if you fail to see it before it closes. It is now ready and running in full blast, and you will see just as much by visiting now as by waiting until the midsummer. You will find it more pleasant to visit the fair in the month of J me than in the months of July and August, and you certainly will avoid the rush.

While in Roslyn a few days ago James E. Shepperson said, "I mean to close my club room business here and devote my entire time to my mining properties in the mountains and some interests I have on the Sound." Shep, as he is known by all in that section, has been a Roslynite for the past twenty odd years and has been the chief spoke wheel in keeping a supply of colored miners always on hand. His departure will doubtless mean a scattering of them leaving the camp like Franklin and Newcastle which once had large numbers of colored miners, but which now only have three or four. Seattle Theater Next week beginning Sunday afternoon, the week will be devoted to the big eastern success of the last two seasons, "Only a Shop Girl." It will introduce Miss Bunting in a most congenial character. It will display to the audience that she is acquainted with all the mysteries of stage craft and the requirements of the drama, gained by personal experience through the interpretation of many roles. "Only a Shop Girl" is a beautiful and romantic story that bristles with incidents occurring in every day life, as we know it in the large cities. The entire strength of the company will support Miss Bunting in this play, and it will be further augmented for the occasion. Four complete sets of special scenery will embellish the stage. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Self-defense is the first law of nature, and mobs should be shot down first and enquiries afterwards.—Richmond Planet. The Negro race will be great and prosperous as fast as it can placa a great and lasting premium on the virlue of its women. A clean home is the first step heavenward.—Western Age. There was a day when the Negro with the long coat and silk hat was considered a leader, but that day has long since passed. For a Negro to be a leader now he must do something and have something.—Mosaic Guide. Commissioner Emmet J. Scott has reached the shores of Liberia and no race war has been precipitated by his association with his association with his fellow commissioners. The Negro baiting New York Times missed its cue when it butted into the government's business and tried to stir up the kind of strife it most delights in.--Cleveland Journal. We are advised that the Night Riders at Waverly are so jubilant because of the light sentence imposed upon them thaas they are having a jubilee celebration. And so it is. Mobs fear no punishment when they slaughter Negroes; and the logic of this position is that they need not necessarily fear any when they intimidate white men. If one class of lawlessness goes unwhipped of justice, we need not marvel that another class escapes.—The Nashville Clarion.
