Seattle Republican

THE SETTLE REPUBLICAN State Library THE SET DO IT NOW! Do what! Register as soon as you read this notice or as soon as you can get to the city hall. If you do this you will avoid the great rush that will be on just before the polls close. You are not a good citizen, unless you participate in the election of municipal officers and you can not do so unless you register. Every voter must register every year if he wishes to vote in the various elections held in the city, and the first registration for the year 1910 is now in progress. REGISTER TO-DAY. Some time ago there was considerable talk about submitting a proposition to the voters of Seattle that all of the councilmen be nominated from at large and thereby do away with ward councilmen. There is no doubt but that idea is becoming quite popular as may be seen from those who are seeking the nominations for the council. In but few wards do the aspirants run beyond the third degree while for the councilmen at large there are some fifteen aspirants. In the wards it is much easier for a clique of politicians to run things to suit itself while in the whole city such a thing is utterly impossible. By all means the councilmen should all be elected at large instead of by wards. Nothing would come nearer purifying the political atmosphere in the city council than the nomination and election of good, whole souled business men, who have the tax payers interest at heart, and for no greater reason than that they, themselves, are tax payers. If the voters of Seattle will elect J. W. Bullock to the city council they will have in that body just such a man as they want. Few men, if any, in the city of Seattle have a better business training than Mr. Bullock and few men, if any, have more at heart than he the growth of the city. In the council he would do those things at all times and under all circumstances that would redown to the best good of the whole city. He is not a ward politician at the head of a political organization, but he is a plain business man that thinks he can do more for the city in the council than the other fellow. He is frank, fair and open in all his business dealings and for that, it is predicted, he will make an ideal councilman. Registering for the city election is going on at a lively rate, but there are plenty of clerks to register as many more each day as have registered on any day yet. There will be something like 50,000 votes registered before the registration closes and there should be something like 1,500 registered each day to avoid a rush the last two or three days. Register today and avoid the rush. No member of the city council received the high compliment from his constituents as did E. W. Way of the Second ward who is not opposed by either a Republican or a Democrat. It is to be hoped that this will not politically swell his head and it is not believed that it will and if it does not he is in line for greater political honors in the very near future than that of ward councilman. In the Eighth ward two old pioneers of Seattle have filed for the Republican nomination of ward councilmen in the persons of Clarence B. Bagley and E. L. Blaine. Both of them are the sons of pioneer preachers and both have lived for many years in the Eighth ward. Both are men of high moral standing in the community and are heavy property owners in the city. Mr. Bagley has been an employee of the city as clerk of the board of public works for many years and Mr. Blaine is one of the heavy stockholders in the Osborne-Tremper Abstract company. No men in the whole city are better, or more favorably known than Bagley and Blaine and they will, therefore, make a remarkable campaign. But it does not matter which of them succeeds, the ward is bound to be well represented. There is a suspicion going the rounds of the political quid nuncs to the effect that Hi Gill conspired with the manager of Austin E Griffith's campaign to spring Gill's tax indebtedness to the city for the Price One Year, $3.00. Single Copies, 10 Cents Political Pot-Pie ITTL SEATTLE, WASHINGTON purpose of putting Gill in a better instead of a worse political light. It has been bruited about the streets for months and even years that Gill has made a fortune by having been a member of the city council. This talk has become common and it was being used with such telling effect that Gill was at a loss to know how to counteract it, hence this tax story. It will not be possible to keep Gill's name off the ticket and Gill knows it and so he is perfectly willing for his tax indebtedness to the city to be given just as much publicity as possible for it all shows that he has not made the money that his enemies declare he has by being a member of the council. Candidate Bouillon says, "I am avoiding publicity as much as I can. I have not even had any cards issued announcing my candidacy. I am getting a good deal of publicity from the Star because it is the policy of the Star and not because I am seeking that publicity. My policy regarding a restricted district is that a place be set aside for the fallen women of the city and they be forced to live in that district. In order to prevent speculation on the placing of the district I would not permit any drinks to be sold therein nor any play houses nor other places of attraction or amusement." Candidate Gill says he would drive vice from the upper part of the city and would also drive it into a district. "I would run the city from a business man's stand point and foster every industry that would make Seattle a greater city than it now is. Whatever would be done as to the locating of a restricted district would be done in the open and on the square. I refer the voters to my record in the city council for the past ten years as to what my record will be as mayor of Seattle for the ensuing two years." The voters of the Seventh ward may not have been quite as considerate with Councilman Thomas P. Revelle as were the voters of the Second ward with Councilman Eugene W. Way as to nominating candidates, but, in the final results, I am inclined to think, it will amount to the same. I mean by this that, the other aspirants seeking the Republican nomination of councilman from the Seventh ward will get so few votes that, it will seem no one had been running except Revelle," came from one of the most active politicians in the Seventh ward one day this week. Mr. Revelle has made a most excellent councilman and there is no reason why his romination in the primaries could not be made unanimous. There is a general feeling of mistrust as to the candidacy of H. C. Gill for mayor because it is believed by a great many of the voters that he is likely to try to make Seattle a wide open town as it was in the palmy days of Tom Humes. The Seattle Republican is not inclined to believe that any official of Seattle could bring about any such state of affairs however willing he might be to do so, though it is more than likely that, Mr. Gill would fashion his administration after the Simonds administration of Portland, Oregon. Whether this is better or worse for Seattle is a matter of opinion and the weight of opinion seems to favor a somewhat liberal town, but by no means the wide open town. Neither Gill or Bouillon promise to make a Sunday school town out of Seattle and so far as the liberal element of the city is concerned the policies of the two men will not differ very largely. At a recent election the city of Tacoma took in all of the smaller towns from the county line between King and Pierce on the north to Tacoma and on the south to American Lake, thus giving Tacoma the largest area of any city on the Pacific Coast. This was done in order to head of the electric company from charging a higher rate than five cents from Sumner to Tacoma, the present rate being nearly forty cents. The rate of the electric line from a laboring man's stand point may be a bit too high, but the five cent rate is even more unreasonable than the company's rate and it will work a greater hardship in the end on the laboring man than the excessive rate. If the electric company is forced to haul passengers from Sumner for five cents then it ought to surrender its charter between Sumner and Tacoma. THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA FRIDAY, JANUARY 14, 1910. Volume XVI, Number 33. H. R. CAYTON, Publisher Persons Talked About F. W. Grant is said to be the only disturbing element now in the Miller administration and if he "don't be good" he will be given a dose of a la Bouillon. Secretary R. A. Ballinger may be called upon to resign from President Taft's cabinet at the request of leading Republican members of the house of representatives of Congress. John E. Humphries had a number of personal and political admirers at lunch at the Bailey last Tuesday and among them was the original Humphries man Councilman Tom Revelle. Reginald H. Thomson is the center of the mayorality fight in Seattle and whether Republican or Democrat no one should be elected mayor of Seattle that even intimates [that he will disturb Thomson as city engineer. State Senator William G. Potts of Seattle has just returned from Eastern Washington and he says everybody and his brother are talking senatorial politics, but the Republicans are not talking insurgent politics, Poindexter to the contrary notwithstanding. Horace R. Cayton, Jr., the bouncer for the office of The Seattle Republican, was run over by an automobile last Friday and seriously injured. The machine is owned by the Seattle Electric Company, which further demonstrates that the company is a dangerous machine. Judge Wilson R. Gay of the superior court of King county has ordered the prosecuting attorney to "go and get" Leavitt and with the judicial order in his coat pocket Deputy Everett C. Ellis left for Los Angeles one day this week for his man. Is he on a wild goose chase? Major Matt. H. Gormley, who is a strong admirer of Senator John L. Wilson, is of the opinion that Mr. Wilson would strengthen his candidacy by being in the state and visiting the various sections and seeing the leading political spirits in those sections, which, to say the least, is splendid political dope. Clarence W. Ide, one of the leading contractors of Seattle, has been making some political observations within the past few weeks and he says the voters are not so much stirred up over the senatorial situation as one might think. They are watching and waiting to see who else is coming out for senator. George V. Gau, who has announced himself a candidate for the Republican nomination for councilman from the Tenth ward, is one of the well known Republican politicians of the county and has frequently been in the lime light of local Republican councils. A picture of Mr. Gau may be seen in another column hereof. Miller Freeman, that journalistic political freak, who wanted to be a councilman of Seattle has withdrawn from the race after he learned that he had no more show of winning it than would a snow ball to fly through hades. Now let that "other Richmond" whose placards have been scattered all over the state as a senatorial candidate, follow in the wake of his son. R. T. Reynolds is again on his job as councilman from the Tenth ward, he having been elected to succeed the late A. E. Parker. Mr. Reynolds was beaten by Parker in the last municipal campaign and when he died it was up to the council to elect a successor and an overwhelming majority of the council favorrd him. He is also a candidate for the Republican nomination for councilman for the Tenth ward. 2 - THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. Published Every Friday, 307 Epler Blk. Phone Main 305. H. R.

Pinchot inside the fort was always able to do things, but having lost his foothold and falling out, he like Glavis, will soon be forgotten. Andrew Carnegie offers $20,000,000 for permanent peace in South and Central America. Now let Uncle Sam get busy and add about that much more to Carnegie's offer and buy up the whole country and send his children down there for homesteading purposes and a peace pact will be immediately established. In spite of the vigilance of the officers of the law crime, of various kind still runs triumphantly rampant in Seattle. A very vicious element is in the saddle and with boots and spur is riding at a desperate gait. In a large city like ours petty infraction of the law cannot be avoided; in fact can only be expected. However, it will behoove our citizens to be on guard against the attacks of pilferers, pickpockets, burglar and other evil doers infesting the city. That's a mighty big thing, the merger of the three largest banking institutions in Seattle. With deposits of $25,000,000 and a capitalization of $3,000,000 the new organization will measure up the country's most stupendous financial concerns. Speaking of the consolidation J. W. Clise says: "The growth of the population of Seattle and its increased importance as a financial center necessitate larger financial institutions." Of course the economical side of the merger was a matter of consideration there being a great saving in a managerial way. If better services to the public are rendered, then the consolidation readily commends itself to the business interests of the Northwest. A crisis has been reached in the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy by the president of the United States, by virtue of the authority vested in him, removing Pinchot from office, and that too, just as the general investigation of the affairs of the department, which the president some days ago ordered, had about begun. Regardless of the right or wrong of Pinchot's contentions President Taft did the proper thing when he removed him from office. Mr. Pinchot assumed the dare devil attitude against the president and did things that were neither gentlemanly nor courteous to a superior officer. No subordinate should presume to think that he is greater or even equal to his superior and whenever one does reach such a stage of mind then his or her wings should be im- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. le GEORGE V.

President Taft is to be commended for causing Pinchot to be removed regardless of the outcome of the controversy. The Chamber of Commerce is doing a commendable thing in trying to build up the interests of the city by giving publicity to that class of people who, for selfish purposes, are thwarting all efforts of progress. Men who deliberately increase the price of property because it is wanted by factories, hoping thereby to enrich themselves regardless of the interests of the city, are deserving of severe condemnation. An instance is the action of George Kinnear who wanted his land assessed at $100 per acre, demanding $13,000 an acre for the same when he was approached by a lumber firm looking for a location. This firm, it ia said, was willing to invest the sum of $75,000 in a plant employing some 300 men. Of course such palpable greed, or graft if you may call it, would not prevail. Yet it is too notorious by a good deal, that such unbusiness-like conceptions actually prevail. Such a course will thwart the efforts of any community to bring about prosperity to all its people. Perhaps a little exposure of such tactics will force people to see the littleness of their interest, in Seattle's struggles in keeping up with the times. Let reasonable prices prevail; down with graft. The Chamber of Commerce should keep it up on that line killing off the dangerous germs of graftism. Now carry the news that Candidate Hiram Gill has cleared his skirts of the charge that he has not paid his taxes to the county. In looking up the matter Gill found out that he owed a personal tax of $5.80. Therefore he walked up to the treasurer's office, planked down the coin of the realm, tucked a receipt for the same into his vest pocket, smiled and went his way. And so Mr. Gill, King county and the rest of us are entirely satisfied. Humor of the Law In a recent divorce case in Adams county, Ohio, the wife charged the husband with many and divers acts of extreme cruelty. The husband filed a cross-petition charging the wife with a systematic course of abuse and among others the following allegations appear: "That she persistently accused defendant of committing adultery and fornication with various women and of being the father of numerous bastard children, and circulated this report generally amongst the neighbors; that to have been guilty as charged by plaintiff, he would have had to devote his entire time to licentiousness." "Plaintiff called defendant a liar so often that an attempt to remember all the instances produces dizziness." "That at divers times when he was working on his own farm and on adjoining farms, plaintiff would play the sleuth, and shadow defendant's movements, dodging from tree to tree and sneaking through unfrequented places much after the order of Sherlock Holmes." That was a pretty good way of squelching a legal opinion, as illustrated in the case of Gifford Pinchot, the United States Forester, at the recent Seventeenth National Irrigation Congress at Spokane. Ex-Judge Campbell of the Department of Justice, sitting beside Mr. Pinchot at a press banquet, made a long harangue upon the illegality of the Forestry Service, and then a personal attack upon Pinchot. When he was through, Mr. Pinchot, smiling as usual, told a single story which effectually closed the episode. It reminded him, he said—the wanderings of the legal mind reminded him—of the story of the Irishman who fell from a high building on which he was working. As he lay on his back with his eyes shut, his palms open upward, the doctor came and looked at him. "No good to do anything. He's dead," said the doctor. Just then Pat rose up from his swoon and started up the ladder again. The foreman caught him by the arm. "Here, here, Pat," said the foreman. "Lie down again, now, that's a good fellow. The doctor knows best. Pat." All lawyers know the "confidential witness," who, ignoring the jury, insists upon telling the judge his testimony. One of this class had never been inside of a courthouse until he was put on the witness stand. As soon as the questioning began, he turned his back to the jury, and told his story to the judge, in a confidential sort of way, as though they were chums. "Address yourself to the jury," said the judge, blandly. The man paused, but not understanding his honor's direction, went on with his testimony. "Speak to the jury, sir," again directed the judge; "the men sitting behind you on the raised benches." Turning around, the witness, bowing awkwardly, said, "Good Remodeled and Newly Furnished European Plau Rates 75c to $2.50 Free Bus Sunset Mhin 2769 HOTEL ARLINGTON W. G.

The American Business Man The constant trend of American ideas toward materialism has been greatly deplored by leading thinkers at home and is the object of much caustic comment abroad. In an address delivered before the Southern Educational Association, Dr. Charles W. Elliott, President Emeritus of Harvard University, defended the American business man against the charge of materialism so often alleged against him. He said in part: 'In the last ten, or shall I say the last five years, business men have come into a new view of business itself. We used to hear the question frequently asked, 'Have I not a right to do what I will with my own?' This question is now answered universally, 'No; not so.' The leaders of business recognize today that their possessions are the result of social influences, and that a duty of service to their fellowmen as broad as possible faces them. So we find the business man himself taking the humanitarian view of his business.' The Cost of Living The new year brings with it many vexatious problems the solution of which will tax the minds of statesmen and philosophers. But of all these problems the one in which more people are interested is that which has to do with the increased cost of living. The American workingman is no doubt the best paid in the world. And during the past few years there has been a tendency toward an increase rather than a decrease in wages. This increase in wages has not, however, kept pace with the increase in the cost of food and clothing supplies. So the average man is alarmed at the size of his bills for ordinary household expenses and is wondering what the end will be. There are, of course, natural causes for an increase in population by immigration and otherwise, and the drift of population from the rural districts to the city. Another cause now frequently mentioned is the extravagance of our method of living. There was launched in Washington some days ago an organization known as the "National Anti-Trust League," whose object is to keep the prices of articles of food within reasonable limits by refusing to purchase them when they rise above certain levels. This plan is in successful operation in Germany. In view of the anti-boycott laws the legality of the proposed movement is being questioned. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson is gathering data showing the difference in the cost of foodstuffs at wholesale and retail and is making an effort to determine whether farmer, middleman or merchant is getting the profit. What records will be broken in 1909, and who will break them? The North Pole has been reached, and airships have crossed the English channel, attained the height of 1,600 feet and E.W.WAY & CO.

There is nothing to be left undone by the administration at Washington that tends to bring about Republican success in the South. President Taft with a boldness unheard of in the treatment of the question is putting every inducement to the white people to line up, throw down their anti-bellum foolishness and jump into the Republican party's band wagon. The brother in black must now stand aside. Director Durand of the census has notified the supervisors that Negro enumerators are to be accepted only when their people outnumber the whites. All this and more, too, to appease the long pent up wrath of the South which for these many years has fretted itself into a high pitch of frenzy against the Republican party because said party received the Negro vote. The experiment is to be tried again regardless of past failures in the South. The Seattle Republican prints legal notices and sees to it that good service is rendered to those patronizing it.

Better a living wage to the workman than large dividends to a corporation without any returns.—Seattle Union Record. The Standard Oil company has been ordered by a court to dissolve.

Bryan's South American tour will be a vain search if he goes looking for countries on the silver basis and satisfied to be there.—Lincoln County Times. To say the least, the suffragettes are an up-to-date bunch in many ways. Their latest move is to establish a daily newspaper and name it The Wireless. How is that for a live wire?—Big Bend Empire. Former Adjutant General Hamilton, who is charged with squandering some $38,000 of the state military funds, was sentenced Tuesday to from five to 10 years in the pen. Such a sentence is a mockery of justice. - White River Journal. It is now stated upon definite authority that President Taft is going after the insurgents by withholding the federal patronage. If such is the case President Taft is a smaller man than we would give him credit for. - Mabton Chonicle. The announcement is made that President Taft will use the patronage club over the insurgents in Congress to whip them in line. That's good partisanship and shows what a weakling Taft is. He may be elected again, but the West and South will not be with him. - Colton News-Letter. A Seattle paper raises the cry for more smokestacks for Seattle in 1910. It declares that "Seattle must have more factories and a larger payroll." That is exactly what Seattle and every city that wishes to attain and retain a permanent place must secure. Our cities are made by our mills and our factories and not by our real estate additions and speculation.—Everett Herald. People of the Pacific coast are decidedly in favor of making no distinction between the Chinese and Japanese when it comes to immigration rules. As a matter of fact, considered from the question of the morals of the two people, the Chinese are noted for their domestic virtues and the honor in which they hold their women and their families. If any such sentiment exists in Japan it is the exception.—Snohomish Tribune. We don't believe the Japanese can ever assimilate with the American to any degree, neither do we believe that the Japanese would ever forsake the flag of his country for the stars and stripes, as have the Europeans. Race prejudice is very strong, especially in sections of the United States. Japan seeks more at the hands of the United States than she is willing to offer at home. Americans are allowed very few privileges in Japan. — Buckley Banner. Seabury Merritt of Spokane is the latest to announce his candidacy for Congress from this district. Mr. Merritt is a Republican and plants himself square as a party candidate. It will be well for other candidates to keep their weather eye open. Mr. Merritt is likely to smash several slates and break up some deep laid schemes to land the congressional prize at the next election. The rank and file of the Republican party is disgusted with the attempts to make a catspaw of the party to further the interests of the Democrats and a few disgruntled so-called Republicans. Mr. Merritt's announcement has the right ring, and if Spokane expects to get the office she had better unite on him for Congress and drop Mr. Poindexter. —Colfax Gazette. Things Material English and American capitalists propose building a railroad from Winnipeg to Yukon territory. It is calculated that in a few years Washington will lead the country in the production of apples. Automobile building is increasing rapidly although india rubber is getting higher in price.
