State fibram THE PASSING THRONG THE SEA THE PASSI North Pole discoverers are coming thick and fast this season. The excitement of Dr. Cook having reached the frigid point and planting Old Glory on its mast head had hardly died away before the news is flashed over the wires that Commodore Robert E. Peary has also reached the much sought point and he, too, planted the stars and stripes on the other side of the pole. Already a bitter controversy has broken out between the rival discoverers, each proclaiming the other clandestine or spurious. Eminent scientists still doubt the truthfulness of either of them having reached the North Pole. If either of them have been successful they are deserving of much commendation for having settled a mooted question that has given the world so much concern for the past ten centuries, but the world is still sekptical for it really expected greater wonders to be found at the pole than either of the men report as having seen while sojourning thereabouts. The public is waiting patiently for both Cook and Peary to "show me" and unless they do so and to its complete satisfaction both of them will be everlastingly disgraced. Secretary Ballinger laconicly replied to an interrogator about the contention that has been going on between the secretary and the forestry agent of the government, "So far as I am concerned, let the war go on." One of three things may have prompted Mr. Ballinger to speak thusly. First, he may have satisfactorily explained his position to the president and he has been told that it meets his, (the president's) approval and Pinchot is doomed to go down and out; Secondly, Mr. Ballinger may realize that he is hooked up with the "interests" and thinks the people be damned: he will do all he can for his friends while he has an opportunity; Thirdly, he may be only whistling to keep his courage up. We are not prepared to say that Pinchot is right in his controversy with Mr. Secretary Ballinger, but we do know that the people by and large are more inclined to sympathize with his story than they are with the one Secretary Ballinger is telling. The people, however, have great faith in President Taft and will patiently wait to see how he stands in the matter and his opinion of the controversy. Greedy capitalists have so often cinched the government through corrupt officials that the people are becoming skeptical as to the honesty of any man once placed in high official position. Pierce County has taken the initiative in weeding out her candidates for state offices by holding an indication primary, which is to say, Pierce County voters have decided on the candidate the county as a whole must get behind and push. A baker's dozen candidates from Pierce aspired for the late Frank Cushman's shoes and the leading men realizing that with a multiplicity of candidates at home seeking the nomination Pierce stood a poor show of nominating Cushman's successor, so the candidates agreed to allow the people themselves to say who the man should be and an election was held all over the county last Saturday which resulted in Pierce County unanimously endorsing James M. Ashton for representative in Congress, which means that he is certain of both the nomination and election. Here is a tip for both King and other large counties which have a multiplicity of candidates for the same place. Let the people decide and then stand by the people's choice until hell freezes over. It is said that the voters are so well pleased with the effort that the senatorial candidates next year will be threshed out in the same way and the county will give its vote in the direct primary election to the man who has been previously endorsed by the county. You'll like Tacoma's way. Organiezd Labor has done a great many things for which it should not only be criticised and censured, but severely condemned, but it has never done anything that so plainly showed the deep-seated cussness of the aggregation than when its members struggled with might and main last Monday to kill the hen that has lain the golden egg for them. It has been the Seattle spirit that has made it possible for organiezd labor to exist at all in the Northwest and yet that gang of blood suckers made an organized effort to have Seattle's commercial standing all over the country discredited by making Seattle day a complete failure. Because organized labor could not have its own way in directing the destinies of Seattle it snarls and snaps at Seattle's enterprises like unto a hydrophobic canine. If organized labor succeeds in crippling the commercial spirit of Seattle then it will cripple itself as well. It will find itself in the same fix as was the old woman's cat that ate itself up instead of grub. Organiezd capital never ```markdown ``` Price One Year, $3.00.

WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1909 NG THRONG saw the day that it was a hundredth part as intolerant as is organized labor and the day is not far distant when organiezd labor will meet its Waterloo and patriotic citizens will have no regrets. J. Edward Hawkins, the well known Seattle Afro-American attorney-at-law, has returned from a forty-day trip in the East and Middle West, whither he went to attend the grand lodge of the order of Elks among the Afro-Americans in this country. "I very much regret that the factions of the order agreed to continue to disagree and to make bad matters worse a further disagreence has arisen among the members on the policy of changing the name of the order and thereby stop further litigation over the right to use the name. When the order came into existence the white Elks gave it little or no concern as it was not believed that it would ever amount to anything, but it grew among the blacks like magic and soon it was so volumnious in membership that it was about to overshadow the white lodge and then it was that the latter realized that something "must be did" and the courts were appealed to with startling effect. The order is already handicapped in many states and it is only a question of time when it will be in a similar condition in every state in the Union, and in my feeble judgment, the whole organization should right about face and hunt a new name. There is absolutely nothing to be gained in kicking against the pricks." George C. Israel's "Hidden Hand," on which he dwelt so long and loud in his speech in the Schively impeachment case, which was subsequently so thoroughly exploited by Horace McClure in the Daily Times, was doubtless nearer him than he least expected. If there is a hidden or mysterious hand in this state among the journalists it is in the possession of Horace McClure. Horace McClure is a human enigma, and study him as you will or may you cannot but conclude that he is a cross between man and the more vicious specie of the monkey. It is said of the monkey that he is susceptible of acquiring a vast amount of information and with such information properly directed display intelligence that looks almost human, the same may be said of Horace. While he writes interestingly at times, yet he has made a muddle with everything he has attempted to do and public men are beginning to look upon him as a Jonah. Had he not have written the stories for the Times in the Levi Ankeny senatorial campaign a different story might have been written after the election. Had he not been connected with Senator Piles at Washington City, then perhaps Piles would not now be in the political muddle that he is. Had he not been the Times' correspondent at Olympia, then perhaps the thirteen senators would not be in the political odium that they are. His very presence is so repulsive that men shun his contact rather than seek his company. School Days Have Come Again and to both parent and child they should be the happiest of the year. While going to school means mental taxation for the child nevertheless the school room should possess an air so entrancing to the child that it would find exquisite pleasure in going to school. The child who is not able to look back at its school days and think of them as the happiest and most cheerful days of its childhood existence never got enough out of its school days to take it very far through the world after reaching maturity. School days to the parents of the child should be the happiest of their lives because they see the child slowly but surely develop into a strong brainy man or woman and fit itself to take its place among those who direct the destinies of this country. Last Tuesday some 30,000 children in Seattle took up their slates and books and went marching off to school and the household that did not listen to the cheerful childish stories of the little ones about the first day at school must have been a cheerless spot. No city in the United States leads Seattle in her school accomplishments. Seattle's Spirit never rose more supreme nor never did itself more proud, organized labor to the contrary notwithstanding, than when 130,000 of her citiezns turned out last Monday—Seattle Day—at the Exposition to show to the world what she herself thought of her splendid exposition. It had been hoped by some of the more enthusiastic that at least 200,000 would pass through the gates, but 130,000 was going some and Seattle need have no hesitancy in complimenting herself for the grand outpouring of the Seattle Spirit. There is no denying that the parade of organized labor last Monday was the most imposing that it has ever put forth in this city and it was --- Volume XIII, Number 16. H. R. CAYTON, Publisher so for no greater reason than to offer a counter attraction to the exposition's Seattle Day, but in spite of its big parade and its free feast at Woodlawn Park the patriotic citiezns of the city stood by the Seattle Day that it might go down in history as the most notable one in the life of the exposition. The citizens of few if any city in the whole world show more or even as much true patriotic spirit as the citizens of Seattle and that and that alone is responsible for Seattle in less than a score of years growing from 36,000 to 336,000. This spirit will cause her to grow in the next twenty years to at least a million inhabitants and outstrip any other city on the Pacific Coast both in numbers and in commercial importance. Long live the Seattle Spirit. The Negroes of New Orleans in spite of personal jealousy from within and bitter opposition from without have combined a sufficient amount of capital and labor to erect for themselves a Knight of Pythias hall, which cost them in round numbers a quarter of a million dollars and the daily papers of that city unhesitatingly declare that, it is quite the equal of that of the most imposing building in the city and by the far the most imposing building owned by black folk in any other city in the United States of America. The edifice is free from debt save to the stock holders and that it will be a paying institution to them from the very start of its existence is a foregone conclusion. The whole affair was financed by colored men and the white folks of that or no other section were not called upon to put a dollar in it. It seems almost preposterous that men with such ability should be opposed by the dominant class of that country in their efforts to become better and more progressive cieiezns. Opposition to the contrary ontwithstanding the Negro is slowly but surely laying the foundation to take his place with other races and classes of this country. Fortunes Made From Five-Acre Orchards.—The farm unit in the irrigated fruit districts of Washington has gradually been lessened, following the development of irrigation, until it is said that the five-acre tract has been found to give the best results. It was not so many years ago that wheat-raising was the prevailing industry, even in such famed fruit sections as Yakima and Wenatchee valleys. Though irrigation has been practiced almost from the time of the coming of the railroad to Washington, its real success dates back a period of perhaps only 15 years, when it began to be demonstrated that the "big red apple" of Washington perhaps had no peer in any part of the United States, and that this apple was the product of irrigation; then irrigation and orchard planting received its first great impetus. The railroad tonnage from the irrigated districts grew marvelously, and in these districts wheat-raising had to give way. Wenatchee and Yakima came to be names associated with marvelous fruit production. The farms gradually grew smaller as orchard planting continued. Today the family with five acres of land in the favorable fruit districts of Washington has the assurance of an independent income. The well-cultivated fract is said to often yield from one to two thousand dollars per acre annually. As an average case of the profits that may be expected might be taken the affidavit of one Yakima man. His 35-acre orchard returned $12,700 the first year that is came into bearing. The second year this amount was increased to $24,000 and the third year gave an equally good return.—Pacific Monthly. Harriman is Dead. When the eyes of Edward H. Harriman, the Western railroad magnate, were closed in death last Thursday one of the strongest and most active minds that the world has ever seen returned to the God who gave it. Though born of poor and unassuming parentage, who possessed none of the qualities that made the son the most famous man of the age, yet by leaps and bounds he became one of the most wealthy men in all the world as well as one of the most effective organizers of men. If Napoleon ever had a second it was E. H. Harriman, only Harriman's ability ran to financiering instead of militaryism as did Napoleon's. It is said of Napoleon, though an ardent Catholic he imprisoned the pope to carry his point. In order to succeed, Harriman would crush the best friend he had in the world and then indemnify him for his loss. Whether such men make the world better or worse for having lived is a most puzzling question and it has many advocates both pro and con. Fighting Jack Johnson is still lord of all he surveys, while Al Kaufman is working his mouth overtime of what he can do. Johnson, however, to our mind, is being troubled with the "big head," a disease that always takes champion prize fighters to the happy hunting grounds.

When the Negro is spoken of as a social factor, he is only thought of as a laborer or loafer, more often the latter." Why not think of him as of other nationalities. The white race is judged by its Roosevelts, Tafts, and other great men. It looks up to its statesmen, politicians, travelers, ministers, physicians, lawyers, etc. It builds its reputation by this class of men and women. As its great and learned men are so is the race. Hence the white race is the dominant race. I have often wondered why the Negro race is not measured by the same standard of right and justice. There are the Washingtons, the DuBois and others, why not measure the Negro by those men, instead of by the lowest class? Why use the old slur, "If one Negro steals all will steal?" every one knows is not true. Take our courts and let a white man and a Negro be arrested for the same crime, the white man will suffer less than the Negro. The penitentiaries contain a larger per cent of Negroes than of white men; and why, because for the same crime the white man will either be jailed or fined and the Negro sent to the penitentiary. Now in all good sense of right and justice is this the thing to do? Since God in His infinite wisdom saw fit to make the Negro black, and the white man white, what right has the white man to think himself better than the black man? "God is no respecter of persons." So says the Bible. But as to color, science says that the black skin and wooly hair are caused by the rays of a tropical sun, and the different mode of living. Take dogs of the north and let them live in a tropical climate for generations and they will lose their hair and become to a degree without it or hairless, and the conditions under which they live will change them. So with the human being, the climatic conditions will change him. Noah prepared an ark to preserve the human race during the flood. He took his wife, his three sons, Sheen, Ham and Japheth, and their wives. When the flood subsided Shem took Asia, Ham took Africa and Japheth took Europe. These three men were brothers, descendants of the same father and mother. But owing to climatic conditions their descendants became of different colors. Why should the descsndants of Japheth arrogate to himself the right to say, "I am better than my brothers because my skin is whiter?" What is the difference in the blood of a white man and a black man? Does science show that there is any difference? The blood of the Negro shows just as many red and white corpuscles as the white man, and every condition of the blood is the same in both races. Because of the love of the white man for social equality we have all colors from sooty black to snowy white. But the white man acknowledges that the Negro blood is superior to the white man's blood from the fact that if his blood contains one eighth Negro and seven eighths white he is a Negro. Hence the Negro blood is seven times stronger than the white man's. We are not arguing for social equality, because that is a thing that regulates itself. No state has a right to pass sumptuary laws.

The politicians of this state may be troubled with a great many aches and complaints, but not many of them seem to be suffering of the Piles. While none of the fourteen state senators have been actually burned up as yet, neverthless they have been roasted to an Irish brown by the state press. About the only "hidden hand" that played any part in the Schively trial that did not show itself was that of Horace McClure, who reported the proceedings of the trial for the Times. Do Cook and Peary propose to get together and compare notes that they may tell the same story, or do they propose to fight it out if it takes all summer? Dr. Charles E. Woodruff, an eminent scientist of criminology, declares that blonds are more criminal than brunettes. That speaks well for the Negroes of this country. Organiezd labor in Seattle showed the rotten stuff it is made of in the way it acted last Monday, Seattle day at the exposition. Organized capital may be damnable, but it is an angel in comparison to organized labor. Representative Miles Poindexter of the third congressional district of the State of Washington announces that he will make a fight to go to the United States senate to succeeded Senator Piles. Miles sees no show of going back to the house of representatives and he is getting out of the awkward situation with as little humiliation as possible. When Uncle Joe Cannon wants a re-election it is remarkable what a poor man he is, but that over he acts just like any other millionaire. Ole Hanson wants to succeed Will Humphrey and his friends say it will not hurt him to want. Cook may have taken advantage of Peary's past experience in the North and beat him at his own game, but that is perfectly natural. The same thing is being done every day in every avocation of life. Where did Commodore Peary see Cook's Eskimo escorts to hear from them that Cook did not reach the North pole? Cook may not have reached the North pole, but Peary has not learned any more about it than has the civiliezd world. Peary says Cook is a faker, which may or may not be true, but the general public is much inclined to think that both of them are either nature fakers or easy money getters. The really happy people in this world are those who are doing things. How sweet is the rest that comes at night after a day of thoughtful, successful work. No day is perfect that has not had in it some helpful purpose for others. The interruptions which often irritate and annoy may be the means of great blessings.

The next senatorial contest in this state promises to be great. Men, whose ability to furnish the "sinews of war" would make Levi Ankeny's "barrell" look like a cane suit case, are already on a still hunt for the scalp of Sam Piles. When elected to the senate a few years ago, Senator Piles in a burst of eloquence that made the clams about Mukilteo turn in their beds and groan, paid a glowing tribute to the "common people" and concluded by saying that he thanked God his election to the United States senate had been secured without the corrupting influence of a single dollar. Today Mr. Piles is rated a millionaire and is being pursued by the "hidden hand," the "black hand" or whatever it was that Israel called it in the Schively impeachment trial.—Sumas News. It is said that the lumbermen of the state are figuring on breaking into the coming senatorial fight, but whether they will unite on R. C. McCormack of Tacoma, or C. F. White of Seattle, both millionaire lumbermen, is not yet settled. Both aspirants have the money and are willing to make the fight if there is a chance to win. The announcement that former Senator John L. Wilson of Seattle may enter the race has been accepted with favor in many parts of the state, especially in Whitman county, east of the mountains. Two other men may cut somewhat of a figure in the coming struggle. One of them is Judge John E. Humphries of Seattle, king of lodge men of the Northwest and a standing candidate for any office under the sun, while the second is none other than our own Governor Hay. True to his farmer instincts, he is "making hay while the sun shines," and when it comes to money he can spend as much as the rest and more than some of them.—Exchange. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE RELIGIOUS CENSUS. While the denominations are vying with one another in the field of foreign missions the report of the latest Government census of religious bodies reveals the fact that here at home we have an unchurched population which probably outnumbers our churchmembers in the proportion of about three to two. It makes the further revelation, however, that the proportion of church-members in our population has increased 6.4 per cent in sixteen years. This bulletin, which records the latest of the five official religious censuses which have been made of the United States, discusses the figures for 1906. In that year, we learn members of religious bodies numbered 32,936,445, or only 39.1 per cent. of our total estimated population. Of these churchmembers 20,287,742 were Protestants and 12,079,142 were Roman Catholics. A comparison with the figures for 1890 shows that in sixteen years the Roman Catholics in the United States have nearly doubled in number. To be exact, this remarkable increase is put at 93.5 per cent.—"more than twice that of all the Protestant bodies combined." The numerical rating of our Protestant churches in 1906 shows the Methodists in the lead with a membership of 5,749,838, followed closely by the Baptists with 5,662,234. At the time under discussion the total amount invested in church-buildings in the United States was $1,257,575,867. This report, we are told, was compiled by means of correspondence and by the employment of special agents, it being considered counter to the Constitution to inquire into a citizen's religious affiliations in the course of the regular census-taking. This is the fifth census of religious bodies the Government has made, and it differs from its predecessors in the fact that it has for the first time collected and analyzed the statistics of church-membership on a basis of sex. Thus we learn that 43.1 per cent. of the total number of members reported by the various religious bodies in 1900 were males as against a female membership of 56.9 per cent. This discrepancy was less marked in the Roman Catholic churches, in which the males formed 49.3 per cent. In the Protestant bodies as a whole the proportion of men is given as only 39.3 per cent., while among the Christian Scientists it drops to 27.6 per cent. From the advance abstract of this census we quote as follows: "The bulletin enters upon an analysis of the 186 denominations making up the grand total for 1906, as against 145 in 1890, an increase of 41. Between 1890 and 1906, 12 denominations ceased to exist, 4 were consolidated with others, and 4 disappeared through changes in classification, leaving 125 denominations reported both in 1890 and 1906. "The denominations added by division of denominations numbered 13, and 48 other new denominations brought the total new ones up to 61, making 186 the grand total of all denominations reported in 1906. Of the 48 new denominations, 11 are the result of immigration, and most of the remainder, the result of the organization of entirely new cults." Taking as a unit the local organization—the church or congrega- E.W.WAY & CO. ANCHOR YOUR SAVINGS IN SEATTLE BAILEY BUILDING SEATTLE BEST BOARD COMPANIES REAL ESTATE-INSURANCE tion—instead of the individual member, the bulletin gives the following figures for comparison: "The general order or rank of the principal religious bodies in 1906 with respect to organizations was: Methodists, 64,701 organizations; Baptists, 54,880; Presbyterians, 15,506; Lutherans, 12,703; Roman Catholics, 12,482; Disciples or Christians, 10,942; Protestant Episcopalians, 6,845; Congregationalists, 5,713; United Brethren, 4,304; Evangelical Association, 2,738; Reformed, 2,585; Adventists, 2,551; Jewish congregations, 1,769; Christians (Christian Connection), 1,379; German Evangelical Synod, 1,205; Latter-day Saints, 1,184; Friends, 1,147; and Dunkers, 1,097. "The Methodist bodies reported 30.5 per cent. of the entire number of organizations, and the Baptist bodies, 25.9 per cent. Thus these two families together embraced considerably more than one-half of the organizations in the United States." Elsewhere in the report we read: "The number of church edifices reported was 192,795, an increase since 1890 of 50,308, or 35,3 per cent. This represents approximately 60 new church edifices each week, or 8 each day, for the sixteen-year period." - Literary Digest. UNIFICATION IN-CHRISTENDOM. Two separate movements are on foot for the unification of Christendom, the one being Catholic and the other Protestant in its tendencies. The first movement is confined to Europe, the second finds its expression here, in Canada and in Australia as well as in Europe. The movements are somewhat opposite in tendency. The Protestant aim, as at present exemplified in Australia, is a union of the Presbyterian, Congregational and Methodist bodies. The Presbyterians have reported in favor of union, presenting an irreducible minimum of faith. The other two bodies have yet to report. But a similar attempt on this continent including the Baptists failed, some bodies finding that the irreducible minimum left little they considered Christian. The other movement is progressing with les publicity, although numerically four or five times as important. This includes the unity of the Roman, Greek, Anglican, Armenian, Syriac, Coptic and Lydian churches, all of which practically accept the same creed, known as that of Nicea, made au- FRIDAY.

The proposal is that a general council of all churches and of all countries be held to consider all such additions. Rome has a plurality and so far has refused its assent. The immigration for the year ending June 30, 1909, was 751,786. It was 31,000 less than that of the previous year and 533,000 less than the immigration for 1907. The figure is the lowest reported since 1902. The classification by races indicates that more than one-fourth of the immigrants came from Italy, and that of the 190,-000 Italians 165,000 were from Southern Italy. The lead of the Italians is very large throughout a period of eleven years. Is Secretary Ballinger or Forestry Chief Pinchot on the political tobbogan?

SEPTEMBER 10. 1909 PRACTICE OF LAW BY CORPORATIONS. The New York Law.—New York is leading the way to a valuable reform in the interest not only of the legal profession, but of the people themselves. The reform is a recent law just put into force by the signature of Gov. Hughes, prohibiting corporations from practicing law. This law provides that no corporation "shall be organized or created for the purpose of conducting any branch of the practice of law or of retaining or employing an attorney or attorneys to furnish legal advice, draw legal papers, or perform legal services of any kind or description, either directly for the person, persons or corporation for whose use such services are rendered or for the corporation retaining such attorney in compliance with any contract of employment of the corporation or of the attorney made by the corporation with any other person, persons or corporation." Trust Companies as "Lawyers." This New York statute will be a severe blow to those trust companies who are so given to advertising their legal services so gratuitously and in a very unethical manner. It has always been to us an unfathomable problem why reputable lawyers could sell their services to a corporation for a salary and then not become besmirched by the unethical methods of the corporation in soliciting business. Trust Companies as Executors and Trustees.—It has not occurred to every lawyer, possibly, that there is quite a difference between the right of a corporation to act as executor and to act as trustee. In the former case, they act by sufferance, in the latter, by inherent right. That is, at common law, no corporation could act as executor, but there was never any question of their ability to hold property to the use of another. To act as an executor of an estate, a corporation must be expressly authorized by statute. But, even today, the rule in England still recognize the essential personal character of an executor's duties. In the case of In re Goods of Hunt, L. R. (1896), P. D. 288, the court ordered the general manager of a trust company, chartered to act as executor, trustee, etc., which had been named as executor in a will, to be appointed administrator cum testamento annexo with the trust company as surety, thus preserving the personal aspect of this relation. Extravagant Exploitation of the Corporation. America is said to be the land of extravagance. We are prone to push a good thing too far. One of those "things" just now is the corporation. A good thing, a splendid device for certain purposes, it has its limitations. One of those limitations is the limitations of personality. Wherever it essays to thrust its cold, inanimate and uncanny personality into those relations of life where flesh and blood alone should act, it has gone too far. We therefore believe that the line of New York authorities which hold that a corporation cannot practice medicine or dentistry because such relation is a personal relation, are founded upon correct principles of law. Only persons, flesh and blood, can be examined and can qualify for such professions. People v. Woodbury Institute, 192 N. Y. 454. C Corporations as Lawyers.—The corporation lawyer is all right, although sometimes a "thorn in the flesh," but the corporation as a "lawyer" is intolerable. Courts have already held that a layman, not licensed to practice law, cannot enjoy the emoluments of such practice by contracting for a division of fees with attorneys on all cases which he brings to them. Why ,then, should a corporation, not authorized by law, be permitted to do what an individual cannot do. Could a layman employ a firm of attorneys on a salary to transact all the business he would turn over to them and then proceed by means ethical and unethical, to secure legal business through which he reaps a profit? Of course not. Why then should a corporation enjoy greater privileges? We believe this New York legislation is but declaratory of the rule at common law, but necessary in view of the laxity of public opinion on such questions.—A. H. R. MANSLAUGHTER BY AUTOMOBILE. The recent conviction of the chauffeur, Darragh, before Judge Mulqueen, in the Court of General Sessions of the City of New York, and the imposition upon him of a severe sentence were strongly approved by public sentiment. It was generally recognized, in comments by the press, that this prosecution would have a salutary effect as an example. In that case, as we remember, there were certain aggravated features. It was claimed on the part of the prosecution that death might not have resulted if the chauffeur had stopped immediately, instead of dragging the person who was struck for some distance in an endeavor to escape arrest and detection. It was only natural and proper if the jury found that the defendant had been guilty of such conduct to convict him of manslaughter and subject him to very serious punishment. The moral effect of the Darragh case will be emphasized by the recent decision of the Third Appellate Division of the New York Supreme Court, in People v. Scanlon and Albro (May, 1909, 117 N. Y. Supp. 55), affirming the conviction of a chauffeur for manslaughter. Although the ear was not stopped and no suggestion that the injury to the victim was aggravated by the chauffeur's conduct after the collision. It appeared that "upon June 23, 1907, one Jared Francisco was driving toward the village of Arkville, in the town of Middletown, in the County of Delaware. He was driving a single horse attached to a buggy in which he was riding. He had with him a boy by the name of Harry Gordon. When within one mile of this village the right wheel of the buggy collapsed. Both Francisco and the boy were thrown, and the boy fell at the feet of the horse. By reason of injuries which he received from the kicking of the horse he died upon the succeeding day. At the time that this buggy wheel collapsed an automobile was passing, and it is claimed that the buggy was struck by the automobile and thereby caused to break down. These defendants have been charged by the jury with the negligent running of this automobile, whereby the collision was caused, and the death of the boy. The defendant Albro was the owner of the automobile, and was sitting up- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN on the left forward seat. The defendant Scanlon was the chauffeur, and was driving the car. From this judgment of conviction these defendants have here appealed." The appellate division reverses the conviction of the owner of the car upon the ground that he was not running the machine and that "in the few seconds of time which elapsed after he might have seen that a collision was to occur he could not give directions which would avoid the collision. The whole thing was, as it were, instantaneous, in the control of the chauffeur, but in no way in the control of the owner of the car. He had not the wheel in hand. It is true that the chauffeur was under the control of the owner, but that means the general control. He might give general directions. It would be impossible, however, to give specific directions as to the manner of driving upon each separate piece of road over which they were passing. If it were the chauffeur's habit to run so close to other cars as to cause danger, and Albro knew of it without correcting it he might be held liable for this negligence; but there is not one word of evidence to the effect that this was the habit of the chauffeur, and Albro's conviction must rest upon his failure within a second of time to give directions, which could not even be comprehended and acted upon, if given in time to have avoided the accident. It is not contended that for the purposes of a criminal prosecution the negligence of Scanlon could be attributed to the defendant Albro." The conviction of the chauffeur is, however, affirmed, the court saying in part: "The defendants' main contention is that the verdict is unsupported by the evidence. Their contention is twofold: First, that the proof does not justify beyond a reasonable doubt the inference that the machine struck the carriage and thereby caused Gordon's death; second, that it is not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Francisco's wagon was struck by the defendant's car. Francisco had turned out of the road to the right. It was the left hind wheel which is claimed to have been been struck. That wheel was not broken. The right hind wheel, however, was dished; that is, the hub was apparently pushed through the wheel, which caused the wagon to drop down and throw out its occupants. Francisco himself does not swear positively that the buggy was struck. There is evidence, however, that the buggy had been newly painted, and that upon the left hind wheel there were marks, and also upon There is further evidence that the ground at that place showed that the buggy had been crowded over five or six inches, and that the right wheel had scraped up the turf where it had been pushed over before it collapsed. It is true that, after Francisco had partly turned out, the horse was leading back into the beaten track, and was pulled suddenly out to the right. It is difficult to see, however, how that could have pulled the hind wheels in such a way as to cause them to scrape the sod for five or six inches as though pushed out of their place. Witnesses swear as to the tracks of these wheels and as to automobile tracks—some of them that they came within two or three inches, and some of the witnesses that they practically came together; that the automobile tracks showed no digression from the main traveled highway and indicated no attempt on the part of the driver of the car to turn out in the least. In view of this evidence it might well have been found by the jury that the carriage was struck by the automobile and pushed over through the sod until it caused the right hind wheel to collapse. The evidence does not make it clear whether or not the buggy was actually thrown over onto the sod and was afterwards tipped back, or whether it simply dropped to the ground after the wheel was crushed. The boy was apparently thrown out over the dashboard. It would seem as though there must have been something more than the mere collapsing of the buggy. Possibly the jerking of the horse was also an element which contributed to the accident; but that would not relieve the defendants' negligence were the proximate and efficient cause thereof. The inference from the whole case, which seems to me irresitable, is that this buggy had gotten just beyond the beaten track of the road, and that the jerking of this horse back out of the road pulled the buggy somewhat back into the beaten track, and that in this way the collision was caused. This inference would explain why the boy was thrown forward over the dashboard and toward the forward part of the horse. The defendant Scanlon sought to make a close pass, without diverging in any way from the beaten track of the road. It is this reckless driving which is the cause of many accidents, and which ought to disqualify any chauffeur who practices it. With a heavy machine, weighing from 3,000 to 4,000 pounds, going at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, it is indefensible negligence to attempt to pass a buggy within a few inches. Such driving cannot be too severely condemned." This case, as much as, if not even more than, the Darragh case, betokens a disposition on the part of jurors as well as courts to enforce the law. There has formerly been much difficulty in procuring criminal convictions for homicide caused by negligence without special and aggravated features, such as were alleged to have existed in the Darragh case. The running of automobiles at illegal rates of speed with frequently resulting injury to person and property and loss of life has become such a serious and notorious evil that public sentiment now demand criminal punishment of careless chauffeurs. The opinion in the Scanlon case is well considered and justifies the affirmance of the conviction. It is believed that dissemination of information of this case would exert a strong influence for public protection.—New York Law Journal. WAS IT A MISTAKE? If it were possible for God to make a mistake, He made it when He made the Negro. In every undertaking in life he (the Negro) is put down. No braver soldiers were ever known than the Negroes, yet he is ignored, spat upon. All over the South they are treated worse than brutes. They have never, been sent to a fort that there were not objections to and pleas for their not being sent. Every one knows that had it not been for the Ninth (Negro) Cav- alry, the Rough Riders with exPresident Roosevelt would have been wiped out. In all the Indian wars these Negro soldiers have been among the bravest of the brave. The white officers who command them speak in the highest terms of them. France is begging for them and will treat them as soldiers and men. Allowing them the chance for promotion which is, to a large extent, denied them in the United States, "the land of the free and the home of the brave." Here the Negro has been in every war for the betterment of this country, but is denied the rights and privileges he fought for. He fought to be a man, free and to have the rights of a free man, but those rights are denied him. In the South, especially in Georgia and Alabama, he is held in peonage. Does any one believe that God will always sit and allow these things to go on. The Egyptians thought they had a perfect right to hold the Israelites in bondage, but God decided the question for them, so He will do in this case. You know the story of the destruction of the Egyptians. Learn from it. "THE FACTORY GIRL" AT THE SEATTLE. Russell and Drew have been receiving congratulations all this last week, upon their new stock company at the Seattle Theatre. These managers made the promise that they would have the best organization for melodramatic stage purposes ever assembled under their banners and last Sunday two of the typical Seattle Theater audiences assembled to see if they would make good. The answer came from orchestra to top of the gallery, "They Do." And the same answer came echoing back every performance during the week. Next Sunday at 2:30 the public will have another chance to judge the new company. Russell and Drew will offer for the first time here Charles A. Blaney's celebrated New York success, "The Factory Girl," the play which a leading New York critic declared gave a truer and more graphic picture of the life of the working girls in this country, than any high brow play ever written. In the original production of the famous Viennese operetta, "Mlle. Mischief" the Shuberts will offer Corinne at the Alhambra, for two weeks, starting Sunday night, the seat sale having opened this morning, for the first time in this city as one of their stars. In keeping with the occasion, which marks Corinne's premiere as an "independent" star, the Shuberts have surrounded her with a cast of favorites and a large chorus in addition to the original English pony ballet. The original production will also be seen here. While the score of "Mlle. Mischief" is one of its chief attributes the book, which is by Sydney Rosenfeld, is its chief recommendation. When the Shuberts acquired control of the opera they commissioned Rosenfeld to re-write the book, which has been done with most excellent results. A. P. Sawyer has sailed for Porto Rico, where he will preside as territorial auditor. Mr. Sawyer is a resident of Seattle.
