Seattle Republican

THE SETTLE REPUBLICAN In no other civilized country in the world is the spirit of mobocracy so prevalent as in the United States; yea, verily, it is very doubtful if in any other country in the world does there ever Seventy occur a real outbreak of the people Persons taking the laws into their own Lynched hands as in the United States when the lynching bee gets abroad. From government statistics it has been learned that there were seventy lynchings in the United States in the year 1909, the highest number for one year since 1904. By states the lynchings are classified as follows: Georgia, 11; Texas, 10; Florida, 8; Louisiana, 7; Mississippi, 7; Alabama, 6; Oklahoma, 5; Kentucky, 4; South Carolina, 3; Arkansas, 3; Illinois, 2; New Mexico, 2; Missouri, 1: West Virginia, 1. When lynchings first became common only black folks were lynched, but out of the seventy lynched eleven white folks are numbered, a fraction over one seventh of the whole, which is indicative of the fact that the lawless spirit is becoming more prevalent and will, sooner or later, develop into a state of national anarchy. While Congress is grapling with the food question in its various forms it would do well to look into the lynching question or a chaotic state will prevail to such an extent that it will not be necessary to regulate either the food question or any other vital question effecting the general good of the government. It can be truly said of Charles W. Morse, the spectacular New York financier that, after life's fitful fever he now rests safely in the strong arms of the law. Mr. tives, his wife and two sons, took a train for Atlanta, Georgia, to begin his fifteen year sentence in the federal prison. This case is commented on for two specific reasons. First, because Morse is a rich man and it has been so often argued that rich men can always buy their ways out of prison. Secondly, because Morse made such a hard fight to keep out of prison and while he was out on bail succeeded in paying back the major part of the money he squandered belonging to his victims. Even those he financially injured would be willing to see his fifteen year term in the prison cut short by a good many years. There are hundreds of white men in the South, who think just as does ex-Gov. Northern of Georgia, that the millions of Negroes in the South thoroughly christianized and educated would be a million times more preferable than that many Chinamen, Japanese or Italians; and yet there are Negroes in the United States that gravely doubt the advisability of the Negro continuing in a congested state in the South. If it is probable that the South will eventually be absolutely under the control of the Negroes, yet a part of the United States, may, perhaps, it would be well for them to continue to multiply and remain there. But if the white man is to continue to be the master mind of the land, and he will be, then the turbulent conditions that have existed in the South almost since the mind of man runneth to the contrary will continue. A hundred years from now, whether the black man be christianized and educated or otherwise, the two races will be no nearer having their troubles settled than at the present time. In this country wherever the Negro outnumbers the white man or is a dangerous minority from a white man's stand point, there is always more or less race troubles; and we are therefore of the opinion that the only solution of the much mooted race question in this country, is for the black folks to scatter to every quarter of the country. Let there not be a county or township in the whole country in which at least a few Negroes do not reside and it will not be long before they will become just as thrifty and energetic as their white neighbors. Whereas, if they remain congregated they will go on and on doing as did their fathers for the past century. It is utterly impossible to build up a black civilization wholly surrounded by a white civilization, either the black will absorb the white or the white will exterminate the black.

Localities that have never shown any prohibition tendencies are voting to The Wets drive the sale and consumption of The Drys distilled and vinous liquors thera The Results from and localities that have been "dry" for the past half century or The Wets The Drys The Results more or voting to grant saloons the right to operate therein, thus proving that the public mind on the "drink" question is badly disturbed. If the anti-saloon advocates believe they will ever bring about the absolute prohibition of the sale of distilled or vinous liquors they are foolish. These things have been used since man learned the art of making them and they will continue to be. If the advocates of the sale of these drinks think there will ever come a time when they will not be on the defensive in order to keep open then they are foolish. An open saloon is not necessary to get drink and the time will yet come when the open saloon will be tabooed and yet as much of the beverages will be sold for general consumption as at present. If a man desires a case of beer, wine or whiskey at his home he is going to have it and in that shape he nor his children will ever be the drunkards that they will be with the open saloon and the pernicious treat habit so common to the United States. So long as the saloon is used as a resort, in which vicious characters can congregate and carouse, so long will it be bitterly opposed by the more law abiding citizens. When the saloon business is run as a business and on business principles and not as a stigma and a stench on the community then and not until then will the men engaged in that business be permitted to conduct their places with any degree of peace of mind. A hundred years ago Latin-America broke the bonds that bound her to either France, Portugal or Spain and became free and independent republics. Since that time they have all undergone more or less stormy periods, but they have in a way kept going. In order to commemorate their freedom anniversary the republic of Argentine has taken the lead in holding a centennial celebration and the most of the other republics have consented to participate and a splendid demonstration will be the result. The United States has also taken steps to be properly represented at the centennial and it will be another getting together of all America. The day is fast coming when all America will be bound together in one insoluble union and in that condition defy the entire world if need be. Wednesday night three drunken young rowdies from Sumner, Washington, spent the evening carousing in the saloons of Auburn and became so noisy that they thereafter. This man's life was taken without warning and with malice aforethought, but this is nothing unusual in the United States, where even the little boys are permitted to carry dangerous guns on their persons. In an other column hereof a recount of the lynchings of the year just closed is published showing to what an extent this lynching disease has fastened itself on the American people and it has done so for no other and greater reason than just such malicious murders as the one above mentioned can be committed; and ninety-nine times out of ten the murderer escapes just punishment for the same. Moralizing for a minute the editor of The Seattle Republican shudders to think of the outcome of the Auburn horror had the three men been Negroes. No power under the sun could have prevented the enraged citizens from meeting out to them the most damnable punishment in its most excruciating form as soon as they had been captured. Crime is crime and the mere fact that the perpetrator of a diabolical crime has a black face should not make it a scintilla more heinous than if he had a white face. --- ```markdown ``` Rowdies Shoot Marshal FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1910. were arrested and on their way to the city jail one of them whipped out a revolver and shot the city marshal in the mouth, which resulted in his death a few hours Volume XVI, Number 32. H. R. CAYTON, Publisher Persons Talked About Former Senator John Lockwood Wilson will not make his contemplated trip to Egypt, but will return to Seattle early in February and help to elect the Republican nominees for the various municipal offices. Gov. Hay is out advocating the "all day saloon" policy, which is, saloons shall be open only between sun rise and sun down. He under no circumstances favors state wide prohibition, if he has been correctly quoted. Customs Collector Fred C. Harper of Port Townsend, has announced to his friends that he will support Judge Thomas Burke for United States senator. He is of the opinion that Judge Burke will carry every county in the Northwest. Harry E. Gilham, a member of the board of control of the state, is now a full fledged member of the Alaska club and has made the apartments of the club his permanent abode in Seattle. He spent a few hours in the city this week en route to Eastern Washington. Austin E. Griffiths, Charles Hiram Gill and Alfred V. Bouillon are the Republicans having filed their declarations of candidacy for the Rupublican nomination of mayor of Seattle. A new Richmond would be hailed with delight by a great many of the Republicans of the city. Charles A. Reynolds, who has said in open court that, that the enemies of Holzheimer have maliciously lied about him, seems to overlook the fact that Holzheimer, according to his version, told the biggest lie of them all when he signed that sworn statement that he got the money. J. W. Bullock, who has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for councilman at large of Seattle, has the reputation of being, and verily is, one of the "squarest" young business men that Seattle boasts of. Bullock has built up a gigantic coal business in Seattle by square dealings with his customers. Ortis Hamilton, erstwhile attorney general of the state of Washington, recently convicted of embezzling state funds, has been sentenced to a term of from one to ten years in the state penitentiary at hard work. A little hard work will make a robust man out of Ortist and at the same time may bring him to his moral senses. Hon. Orange Jacobs, who is considerably past his eightieth milestone, has filed his intention to become a candidate for the Republican nomination of councilman from the Third ward of Seattle. Judge Jacobs is a Northwest pioneer and since he has lived in Seattle he has repeatedly been elected to high positions of trust and honor. Clarence B. Bagley, who is not only a Seattle pioneer, but likewise the son of a Seattle pioneer, has filed intention of seeking the Republican nomination for councilman of Seattle from the Eighth ward. Mr. Bagley is now in his sixty-sixth year and has been a resident of Seattle ever since he was a small boy either in knee pants or no pants at all. James E. Shepperson, grand master of the Negro masons of the state of Washington, visited the lodges of Seattle within the past week. In commenting on the black man getting good homes for himself he said: "I find wherever I go in the state the colored man is getting a good home for himself and family. A majority of the readers of The Seattle Republican are well acquainted with 'Bob Taylor,' who for a number of sessions has acted as janitor of the senate chamber at Olympia. Well, he recently bought a quarter section of land near Cle-Elum, near which the Milwaukee railroad has built a town and the property has already increased in value a hundred fold and Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Taylor are destined to be a very wealthy couple in the very near future." ```markdown ``` eta iain italian THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. Published Every Friday, 307 Epler Blk. Phone Main 305. H. R.

It wasa splendid booster for yellow journalism when Hearst was fined $500 for libelling Rockefeller. New York courts have dis- covered that John D.

But graftism is so common that no one seems to be able to escape. Presidential favors should be in line for Seattle from the White House to the Washington City railroad station, in view of the fact President Taft’s niece is to be Mrs. George H. Snow- den of Seattle. Discovering a milk trust, ar- resting and convicting it and fi- nally sending the head of the trust to prison does not seem to prevent milk consumers from having to pay twice as much for the fluid as it is really worth. Dr. frank A. Cook of fake north-pole fame is positively seen-in.so many places, each so far from the other, that if true, one can readily understand how he may have been at the north pole when he was many hun- dreds of miles away. Two notable colored men, Bishop Alexander Walters, D. D., of the A. M. Zion church and Bishop Scott of the M. E. church are to sail for Africa Jan. 22, Being men of rare in- telligence much is expected from them as to the present need and future wants of the Christian work in the Dark Continent. Their investigations will cover a large territory, taking in the varied habits, works, and gen- eral progress of their respective denominations throughout the entire region traversed by them. Since much time and much money are spent in evangelizing the natives, who rapidly are emerging from darkness, the Christian world looks forward to reassurances of great and good efforts being put forward for fu- ture action. Only a short time hence there will be no ‘‘dark continent,’’ so strenuously are activities concentrated upon breaking up the barbarous con- ditions so long enveloping the once totally benighted continent. These educated clericals _ will spend much time in gaining in- formation, inspiring the present workers or paving the way for happier conditions, which, it is devoutly hoped will meet the ap- probation of all religionists, re- gardless of denominational in- terests, They are expected to be gone a year at least, and will sail from New York to Liver- pool, thence to Cape Colony. POLITICAL POT--PIE L. H. Gray, President of the John L. Wilson Senatorial Club, says he has a communication from the Hon. John L. Wilson from Washington, D. C., advis- ing that he will not leave Amer- ica for a European trip, but af- ter visiting in New York he may take a run down South for a while and then be obliged to re- turn to Spokane for business reasons; if this should result, he would reach Seattle some time in February. While the Hon. John L. Wilson is away his interests are in the hands of his friends and we are daily receiving the most loyal assurances that he is the logical candidate for the next United States senator, and we feel certain that we can elect him. In relation to the discussion among the business men and the public in general of King county regarding Hon. John L. Wilson, Judge John E. Humphries and Judge Thomas Burke allowing their names to go before the people of King county for an ad- visory primary to settle the ques- tion of which man is the strong- est in King county for United States senator, will say I have word from Hon. John L. Wilson on the subject and he states, ‘‘T am willing to do anything that all of the others are willing to do.” “I have no official record to refer the Republican voters to as an endorsement of my candidacy for councilman at large, but I have a business record that I am not only not ashamed of, but take pleasure in refering. the voters of Seattle to and if that record does not endorse me then Iam no longer a candidate for the office. In selecting a man for a public office it has always been my idea that he should have given some evidence of having successfully done busi- ness for himself before wanting todo business for the general public. I have heard it said that, when a man goes broke do- ing business for himself he in- variably either seeks a public office or starts a newspaper to boost some one else into office. Such men may serve the public alright, but they never appeal to me as fit subjects for public trusts. ‘‘The man who can and who has successfully done busi- ness for himself ought to do business up to the top notch for the voters and tax payers of his community,”’ so exclaimed J. W. Bullock, the Republican candidate for councilman at large. “T am not round promising Tom, Dick and Harry to give them a place in my office in case I am nominated and elected treasurer of Seattle, because first of all, it is against the law; and secondly because, it is poor political sense from my view point. If, however, I am nominated and elected I will en- deavor to fill the office up with good and efficient men and, be- ing only a man, it would be per- fectly natural for me to remem- ber my friends first of all. The politician who does not stand by his friends is short lived and, on THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. his promises and he toomust be of short political life. [am not a politician, but I am out for the office and am making the cam- paign in my own feeble way en- deavoring all the time to avoid political entanglements that would be certain to handicap my administration from the very outset,”’ said Ed. L. Terry, can- didate for city treasurer, one day this week. Oliver Hall of Colfax, Wm. La Follett and Hugh Todd of Pullman are being advocated as Whitman county candidates for nomination for congressman from this district by their friends, There will be no lack of candidates for the honor in the third, but we venture the prediction that Spokane will cap- ture the Republican nomination. Todd may be given the Demo- cratic nomination as a feather in his cap. Oliver Hall doesn’t want it, so he may be considered out of the race. As for La Fol- lette, he is being pushed forward on the grounds vhat he is a brother of the insurgent senator from Wisconsin, but ‘‘Bill’s been in the legislature and he doesn’t say what fur.’’—Colton News- Letter. A. L. Rogers of Waterville has been mentioned as being a fit candidate for the nomination of representative in Congress from the third district now repre- sented by Miles Poindexter. He has been a prominent figure in business circles of that section of the state fora number of years and it is predicted that should he decide to get into the race he would make, it more than inter- esting for tie other candidates. If you live in Seattle you had just as well register now as to wait until the last minute to do so and then stand around the registration booth for three or four hours trying to register. You can either register at the city hall, where an army of clerks are awaiting your coming, or you can register in your pre- cinct, but, at all events, go and register as soon as you read this and save yourself much annoy- ance. Its well the Hon. John L. Wil- son has decided to return to Se- attle, if he intends to be a can- didate for the United States sen- ate before the coming state pri- mary. His supporters as well as those who desire to support him want to talk to him personally on a hundred and one things that politicians encounter every day and no one but the candi- date himself can give them the desired answer. Its admitted that it would not be politic for Mr. Wilson to mix in the mayor- ality fight, but there would be no need of him doing so even if he were present now, but he will not be here before February or thereabouts and by that time the municipal campaign for the nom- inations will be practically over. In order to elect the Republican nominee for mayor the local | campaign committee will need all of the John L. Wilson kind of help that it can get. It seems almost a foregone awa ers ¥ aie mae Ey ALIN | 3) ae es - test neal /= CoE ae o> F-\> who would like to have the honor. William Pigott would make a splendid candidate for the Democrats, but the Moore feeling would not sufficiently down to give him a unanimous nomination; and he would not accept it under any other con- sideration. Not being able to induce a Re- publican to cross swords with Fred Sawyer for the Republican nomination for councilman from the Fourth ward C. C. Cherry, a well known Seattle pioneer and one of the heavy property own- ers of the Fourth ward, has filed as a Democrat and does not fig- ure that he will have any oppo sition for the nomination. Once nominated he proposes to give Mr. Sawyer the fight of his life for the election; so he declares. No man should be elected mayor of Seattle whether Re- publican or Democrat that gives it out either by word or other- wise that he will disturb City Engineer Thomson’s office. Religious Items In ecclesiastical lines much mental force is dissipated as to whether, in foresooth, a soul is saved at our threshol:| or ina for- eign land. Useless it seems are such controversies; let the said soul be saved wherever it is found. A soul is a soul, how- ever deep or faint the cclor of the skin. Right Honorable Earl Grey, Gov.

Each census district is subdi- vided into enumerator districts. Each enumerator must cover his district in 80 days. The pay is from 2 cents to 4 cents per name. | There is lack of interest in ap- plying for the positions of enum- erators, Enumerators are selected from ‘the most capable of those taking lan examination. Honesty, good address, good eaieatins good habits are neces- sary qualifications to become an enumerator. “Schedules are to be filled cov- ering the population, industries, acreage, animals, deaths, births, ete., during the last decade. The taking of the census be- gins about April 15th and there will be more than 68,000 persons in the field gathering the data. All persons, whether women or men, who may desire to be- come census enumerators must be citizens of the United States; residents of the supervisors’ dis- trict for which they wish to be appointed, must be not less than 18 nor more than 70 years of age; must be physically able to do the work; must be trust- worthy, honest and of good habits; must have at least an or- dinary education and must be able to write plainly and with reasonable rapidity. Those who can comply with these requirements are invited to put in their appications, as there will be at least 68,000 enumerators’ places to be filled by the middle of March in pre- paration for the enumeration be- ginning April 15th. Appliation forms, with full instructions for filling in, and complete information concerning the test and the method of ap- pointment, can be secured by writing to the supervisor of cen- sus for the supervisor’s district in which the applicant lives. All applications, properly filled in, must be filed with the super- visors not later than January 25th as any received after that date cannot be considered. __ Things of Interest A New York scientist named Simpson has discovered a way to change black people to white and white people to black. eae Owing to the poor wages paid to census enumerators the goy- ernment is having much trouble in getting a full supply of suit- able workers for the census _tak- ing. Dr. Cook, and wife, of north pole fame is somewhere in Eu- rope at last account. No one oppears to know the exact whereabouts of the great pre- varicator but it is thought he will turn up in good time to the discomfort of his enemies and his friends, as well.

The Chinese think the murder of Japan’s greatest statesman ought also to carry to the Japan- ese themselves the same lesson of the futility of assassination, andadd that if the death of Prince Ito contributes to the moral uplift of Japan by teach- ing them this lesson it may prove a blessing in disguise.
