Seattle Republican

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Price One Year, $3.00. Single Copies, 10 Cents. A KING COUNTY SENATOR. After all King County is but a part of the state of Washington and only separated from the other part of the state by imaginary lines. Whatever, therefore, will be of benefit or gain to the state of Washington in general will necessarily benefit Seattle and King county and for a paper, periodical or magazine to try to play upon the minds of the residents and tax payers of King County to the end that the financial interests of the county will go to the dimnation bow-wows if the next United States senator from Washington is not a King County man, is so ridiculous that it is laughable. A senator in Congress, who worked only for the immediate community of the state from which he hails would be looked upon by his fellow representatives as being so narrow, biggotted and hide-bound that he would find himself without either influence or following among his fellow senators. The Seattle Republican has and is advocating the nomination and election of the Hon. John L. Wilson as a successor of Senator Sam H. Piles, not so much because he resides in King County, but because he has the ability and the standing at court to do and get those things for the state that she needs worst and for the reason that when a member of the senate county lines, so far as he is concerned, would be blotted out and Spokane, Walla Walla, Tacoma, Vancouver and Port Townsend's interests would be as zealously looked after as that of Seattle. And in substantiation of the above statement Senator Wilson's record in Congress speaks for itself. Because the chances of Senator Wilson being nominated and elected by some one else equally ambitious might be jeaopardized it would hardly be fair for Wilson's friends to hold his opponent up to ridicule as did a local weekly paper do John E. Humphries last Saturday, because Mr. Humphries would not submit to enter into an advisory ballot arrangement with the other senatorial candidates from King County. Mr. Humphries feels that he would not be justified in going into an advisory election and King County be damn when it infringes upon one's personal privileges. In the United States senate to our mind Humphries would be the veritable "bull in a china shop," but he does not think that way and being a citizen of the United States in the broadest interpretation thereof it is his God-given right to do as he damn pleases. King County has the population and the voters thereof have the intelligence to vote for the best interest of the county and to attempt to administer to them a buck and gag political dose to nominate a man that the "interests" of the county desire is so damnably unfair that it might bring about an anti-Republican demonstration that would make the 1896 revolt look like the veritable thirty cents with two instead of one hole in it. The voters of the other counties of the state should have the right to vote for any King County man they may see fit and if you deny them that right then they may refuse to vote for even the man you try to force upon them. Let's do unto others as we would have them do to us. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1910. POLITICAL POT-PIE An old-fashioned state convention among the Republicans of the Evergreen State in Seattle is promised for next June, at which the big guys will be on hand. This coming convention will nominate three supreme judges and enunciate the party principles on which the campaign will be fought for the election of the three supreme judges, representatives in the three congressional districts and a legislature that will elect a United States senator. Already great preparations are being made by the various politicians to try to outshine each other at that brilliant as well as brainy galaxy of partisan leaders. * * The thirty-fourth senatorial and the forty-fourth legislative districts will be the scene of one of the hottest political battles in the history of the district and that is saying a good deal. Senator George U. Piper will be a candidate to succeed himself and it is the concensus of opinion that he will do so, but Dr. J. A. Ghent and Claude C. Ramsey have made up their minds to give him a run for his money. Without entanglements on the side Piper would get a majority over all, but it is said his friends and workers decided to support W. H. Clark and Hemelhock for the house and if they do Eugene A. Childe will fight the slate and combine forces with Ghent or Ramsey, which might jeopardize the success of the Piper slate. * * "No, I do not believe Harry Gordon will be a candidate for county treasurer, nor Dr. E. C. Brier will be a candidate for county auditor, nor do I think Bill Hanna will ever be nominated for country treasurer, nor do I think many, if any, of the present county officials will be holding office after next January," came in confidence from a prominent county official one day this week, and it seems to the Pie-maker that there is more truth than poetry in his statements. * * Some opposition to the re-nomination of I. B. Knickerbocker of the thirtieth senatorial district has been talked, but it is not believed it will be of any consequence and "Knick" will be nominated if not unanimously. Howard Taylor was boosted to come out for the senate, but he would not stand the racket. Taylor and Clark will both be candidates to again be house members and Taylor may be a candidate for speaker though on that point he has not fully made up his mind. The leaders of the "south district" of King County understand each other thoroughly and no friction as to candidates will develop. Mayor Hiram C. Gill may not be turning the rascals out, but there is no denying the fact that he is swatting his political enemies hip and thigh. "To the victor belongs the spoils" and Mayor Gill is doing no more than would any one else with an ounce of political backbone in him. One F. W. Grant, all the same one A. V. Bouillon, should walk the gang plank first and foremost. VOL. XVI. NUMBER 43. H. R. CAYTON, Publisher SEATTLE'S NEW ADMINISTRATION. Quietly but surely the city of Seattle underwent an official change last Monday and no one realizes it more than the large number of officials who held minor positions of trust under the Miller administration, as the most of them were notified that they too were relieved from official duties, but they should have realized at the time they took office that to change is the fortunes of war. Whether any of those who went with Mr. Miller were recreant as to their official duties the writer verily doeth not know, but he does believe that some who have been holding office in the city has not done his or their whole duties as public officials and did not fully live up to the teachings of "a public office is a public trust." Recently The Seattle Republican pointed out to its readers how the tax payers' money was being willfully wasted in the water and light department of the city by the employment of more clerks by far than necessary and the article thereon met general approval and already steps are being taken to hedge in the dismissing of some of the clerks. If the truth was known the office of city treasurer has been in even worse condition than the light and water office. The office of city treasurer is the only office in the city where the employes are not under civil service and it has been the dumping grounds for the party workers for many years. A business man in discussing that particular office one day this week was of the opinion that the force that has been used to running the office could be cut in two and yet not cripple the service a single bit. Instead of compelling those employed in the city government to do his or her whole duty as he or she finds it, things have been permitted to drag along in a happy-go-lucky way and when the work got all balled up a new clerk was asked for and if the higher powers raise any objections the balled up conditions of the office were pointed out and of course the new clerk was granted. The only office in the city hall in which the employes do their whole duties as they would if employed by a private concern is that of the city engineering office. One of Seattle's leading business men, who is by no means friendly to the city engineer was heard to say, "I must confess that the men employed in Mr. Thomson's office earn their salaries. It's a cold-blooded business proposition up there from morning until night." Let's hope that Mayor Gill will see to it that the head of every department in the city government uses the strictest economy in the way of clerk hire, not by employing inefficient men, but by employing the best men and then see to it that they work while on duty and not discuss politics and attend to private business when they should be giving every minute of their time to the affairs of the city. Already Mayor Gill has been convinced that there has been extravagance in the park board and has removed one of its members and contemplate the removal of two others. Wilful extravagance is to be found on other boards and the probing and pruning knife should be continued. best thing accredited the rattlesnake is the use of its rattle so the bitterness of Tillman’s. tongue has measured his usefulness. The doctrine taught by Tillman is disappearing and barring that of state rights hovered by John C. Calhoun and from whom Tillman got his inspiration, his doctrines were dis- tinctly nugatory. Reared in a section of arrogancy and illiteracy where hatred thriv- ed and climate fecundated a quarrelsome propensity he grew as he could not otherwise grow, the same as others of his species have done. But Ben Tillman, under different con- ditions, might have arisen to profound re- spect in American polities. It is to his credit that innumerable misfortunes of his entire life were not able to thrust him into the “‘slough of despond,’’ depriving him of that virility which he has manifested and in which he has been enabled to gain the kind- liest respect from his avowed enemies. In his horizon, he discovered one beacon light to lead him to his goa] and that light—treach- eous and false to human justice—Ben Till- man followed. A proclamation issued by the chief of the nation urging the people thereof to cheerful- ly respond to a function of the government is not more peculiar than rare, though it is not often that one has been promulgated on the taking the census as constitutionally pro- vided for. It is within the province of the chief executive to so do, howevere, anent the issuance of that of March 15th, calling upon the people to give honest and free utterances to all scheduled questions put by the enum- erators as to family, farm and nationality and ‘‘thereby to contribute their share to- wards making this great and necessary pub- lie undertaking a success.’? ‘‘Nor,’’ con- tinues the proclamation, ‘‘can any person be harmed in any way by furnishing the infor- mation required.’’ People of intelligence have been amiss in these duties, some for sentimental and others for business scruples, while the unlearned have surrounded this of- ficial performance with various fears as to their future endangerment. So, as a conse- quence, the past decades have failed to show satisfactory statistics. The most earnest ef- forts to secure correct information has evi- denced the work of the census in its prelim- inary preparations so the field work which begins April the 15th will be materially aid- ed, while the doubts, distrusts and confused fears of the people be dissipated by the proc- lamation of the President. There is one point in which we must agree with the people who oppose old age pen- sions for America, says Walter Weyl in “‘Suecess Magazine.’? Pensions they say, are merely a palliative. What the aging man needs. is not so much a pension as a chance to work, and above all the strength, the ‘health, and the intelligence to enable him to work. It is very true. Let us put our minds and our purses to the task of pre- venting child labor, excessive toil, unhy- gienic houses and factories, and other things which cripple men in middle and old age. Let us give industrial and technical educa- tion, so that a man may be permanently equipped for earning his living. Moral issues do not move with great velo- city any more than great bodies, yet they gather unto themselves accretions welding into the unity of themselves, the powers that will be wielded later on. For years the pro- hibition issue has been gathering unto itself accretions which have solidified the subject to the extent that the nation is con- fronted with its magnitude and the potency of it as an agency in the settlement of so- cial questions. Among the opinions passed by students of the subject is the one by former Gov. E. W. Hoch of Kansas, who says: ‘‘I think the whole United States will be dry territory within ten years.’’ Being of a prohibition state and quite conspicuous in prohibition movements the ex-governor is qualified to make predictions reasonable even if they are just a bit sanguine. Local option is a popular weapon and perhaps the most effective one so far used. In giving the ques- tion to the judgment and wishes of the peo- ple it is safely entrusted in the hands of the only promoters who bring moral issues into existence. If shipments-of liquors, as the ex-governor says, ean by act of congress be made contraband when shipped into dry ter- ritory, one of the most unwieldly obstacles to prohibition progress will have been removed. State-wide prohibition ideas will be expedit- ed more as the local option idea is successful, while both will be effectually active in ad- vancing general prohibition if congress passes the Middlefield bill. Over-zealous desires for scientific investi- gation led some few savants to reach the edge of foolhardiness in the last few months. Only a short time since the newspapers of the East contained an account of the indig- nation of the students of a leading school jin their protest against the professor intro- ducing into their midst a black man for scientific study and sociological demonstra- tion. It was an ‘‘innovation’’ too novel to be appealing’ even to the scientific enthus- iasts who strongly disapproved of such methods. Now we are informed that a wealthy Bostonian in order to more aceur- ately prove his conclusions in investigating the laws of morality indited an immoral letter to a reputable young woman of color. She promptly placed the communication into the hands of the proper officials who ar- rested the overzealous investigator of mor- ality. The defense offered was that the let- ter had no genuine improper intent, being written as a mere experiment, incidental to a study of the social evil. He further wished to learn how the social evil affected young women who belong to the working class. We rather think his zeal has driven him mad and that his attention should be directed to a study of the aesthetics of a city rock pile. Julius Caesar returned from his conquest of Gaul to Rome to meet a triumphal ova- tion never accorded to any other general of his country. He gave the world the imper- ishable words—‘‘I came, I saw, I con- quered.’’ But Caesar, being ambitious, was a conqueror of men, warlike and savage. His return to the bosoms of his fellow country- men was the crisis of his life and it ended at the foot.of Pompey’s stature. As to Caesar, so unto Napoleon. ‘‘My reception must be non-partisan,’’ is the message sent from the far East. Roosevelt returning from CURRENT COMMENT THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN his conquests in Africa, not over men but over beasts, warlike and savage, and, being ambitious, is to receive the plaudits of his fellow countrymen, ‘‘all who care to take part in such a reception.’’ And ‘‘my fellow countrymen’’ will to a man turn out to re- ceive the modern conquering hero, the rein- carnation of the greatest Roman of all! But the ‘‘Beware the Ides of March!’ and the “IT come to bury, not to praise!’’ must be left to the perspective. Gold production of the State of Washing- ton is not large yet the output is eredited as on the increase. There are eight counties of the state which yield the yellow metal. The mining industry of the state has lan- guished because of a lack of capital and a want of facilities for transportation, but as both these prequisites are becoming more accessible the industry will become more in- tensified. From the last published reports of the director of the mint the state is set down as having produced less than $300,000 in 1907, of both gold and silver in the aggregate, an increase over the previous year. About sixty mines have been producing the metal, while less than a hundred have remained idle for the various reasons given. Whatcome county has the most productive placer mining and Stevens county produces from quartz mines. The construction of new mills and smelters has been going on slowly the past year or so but until cheaper reduction costs and more adequate transportation facilities are pro- vided there is little hope that any decided improvement in the production of the prec- ious minerals will characterize the state’s mining industry. The Tug of War in congress for supremacy of rights as to ‘‘regulars’’ or ‘‘insurgents’’ has gone down the line of time as an aneur- ism of party solidarity with Cannon stand- ing sentinel on the walls of the impregnable Republican citadel. It was no more than the forecasts shadowed and the handwriting was clearly seen that extreme political pas- sion, so desperately prolonged, would not long sustain the strain. The right to change the committees of the house has never been disputed; that is the prerogative of deliber- ate bodies. No speaker can outrule the voice of the majority just as Mr. Cannon, though in bitter spirit, announced and in which he acquiesced. But the discordant spirit made the contest memorable in which the spectacle was exhibited of a party minority through an alliance with a common enemy forcing defeat of a majority. It was an easy matter to rally the Democratic support to the insur- gent idea, but it became an insurmountable action when the allied force sought advan- tage for its own encroachment. But the in- cident, though exciting, was fought with but little if any party danger since it resolved itself merely into the legislative body expur- gating itself of some unsatisfactory rules cre- ated by itself and revokable only at its own pleasure. Benjamin Ryan Tillman either despised or adored can not be looked upon as an abstract cipher in his political career whether of state or national movements. The best thing that can be said of him is that his vitriolic statesmanship has been reactionary. As the MARCH 18, 1910 BRIEF NEWS OF THE WEEK THE WORLD OVER FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1910.

Tacoma, the City of Destiny, has a candidate for United States senator to succeed Senator Samuel H. Piles and it is none other than Robert Laird McCormick, the Pacific Coast head of the great Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, and he is one of the best known business men in the whole Northwest. No one will deny that he has many friends and admirers in the state of Washington and if the timber men of the state rally to his support as he believes they will and to an extent that has been assured, he will be a most formidable candidate. His friends say that he will poll a very large vote in the southwest, an equally large vote in the northwest and will get practically every vote in Pierce county, which will give him a splendid hand to draw to, as well as a long lead over his opponents. As to his views on the political situation his own letter of announcement tells the tale, which is as follows: Tacoma, Wash., March 18, 1910. Dear Sir: I beg to announce that I shall be a candidate before the direct primary, to be held in September, 1910, for nomination as United States senator. I was born in Pennsylvania in 1847. With a possible exception, I am the youngest senatorial candidate before the people of the state. Since 1866, when station agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, I have been continuously and uninterruptedly in business life. My health is as good as that of the other candidates. In 1868, in Minnesota, I engaged in the lumber business, with which I have continued since. I have also been connected with farming, with the coal and iron industries, and with mercantile and financial enterprises, my connection with those employments in the state of Washington dating from 1900, both as laborer and employer of labor. My experience is cited as a preparation fitting me to properly represent Washington in the senate, and to care for her welfare, through a practical insight into public needs. The conservation policies of Theodore Roosevelt are of utmost importance. I favor their enforcement in a modified form. The proper course is a system of conservation that will aid development of natural resources, instead of retarding and delaying it indefinitely—and that without abridging the rights of bona fide settlers. No state, particularly a maritime state like Washington, can reach its highest development except through commerce; and the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN AIRD McCORM commerce of Washington ought to be literally world-embracing. For that reason alone, conservation policies and tariff schedules ought to receive the closest scrutiny. A new factor is the Panama Canal, which will probably be completed in five years. The state of Washington, with Puget Sound as one of the finest harbors in the world, must not be made a way port. We must have shipping under the American flag. This state, through the resources of the East and West the result ROBERT LAIRD McCORMICK sides, must advance to a commanding place on the great highways of commerce, which will be mian Ganal. The Orient is at our door, and may be kept there by President says we want peace, proper congressional legislation. We must make the most of our opportunities. I favor the improvement of our internal waterways in the widest scope, specifically applied to the rivers and harbors of Washington. I also favor the policy of irrigation, for the reclamation and immediate settlement of the arid and semi-arid lands of the state. Alaska is our neighbor. The time has come for Home-Rule. I favor the abrogation of the present antiquated system. I oppose a commission form of government, or any encouragement of the carpet-bag politician among the hardy pioneers of the last frontier. --- ICK SEEKS SI Politically, I have been a Republican from the beginning. In Minnesota I served as state senator, and was delegate to the National Convention in 1880, 1900 and 1908. At present I am the member of the Republican National Committee for the state of Washington. If you can consistently give me your vote and influence in securing the senatorship, you will find me ever ready to faithfully represent this state as an entirety, and 1 not sectionally, giving consideration to all her people in whatever walk of life. The following from Ryan's Legislative Manual is a true biographical sketch of him: Robert Laird McCormick was born near Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, October 29, 1847. Mr. McCormick's ancestors were of good stock. His great grandfather came from Ireland to this country at an early age and joined the Revolutionary army from Pennsylvania, becoming an ensign or third lieutenant. Both of his grandfathers were in the war of 1812. Col. Hugh White, famous in the war of 1812, was a relative. His mother's father was a Laird, of Scotch descent, but a Pennsylvania Quaker. His father, Alexander McCormick, resided on a farm near Lock Hav- --- R. L. McCORMICK en, Pennsylvania. When a young lad Mr. McCormick attended Saunders Institute, a Presbyterian military academy, at Philadelphia. After two years there he spent a year at the Tuscarora Academy, at Mifflin, Pa. After leaving the Academy he entered the employ of the Pennsylvania & Erie railroad. For several years after leaving the employ of the railroad Mr. McCormick was engaged in various enterprises, becoming proficient in office work. In 1868 he went to Winona, Minn., and took charge of the office of Laird, Norton Company. He spent six years in Winona, but the close confinement of office work was injurious to his health. In the fall of 1874 he bought a retail lumber yard at Waseca, Minn. This yard he ran until 1881. He also acted as auditor for the Laird, Norton Company, visiting their different yards in Southern Minnesota, and also located new yards, in some of which he was personally interested with the company. He was also interested in the large stone quarries at Mankota, Minn. During all the time he resided in Waseca, except the first year, Mr. McCormick was mayor of the city. In 1880 he was elected to the state senate, where he served through two regular and two extra sessions with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of his constituents. Early in the eighties the North Wisconsin Lumber Company was organized and incorporated, with Fred Weyerhaeuser, president; M. G. Norton, vice-president; R. L. McCormick, secretary and treasurer. The company began manufacturing lumber in 1883. Mr. McCormick was the active manager of its affairs. In 1884 Mr. Weyerhaeuser and Mr. McCormick established the Sawyer County Bank at Hayward, of which Mr. McCormick was president. In 1899 Mr. McCormick was largely instrumental in bringing about the purchase of immense tracts of timber in Washington by Mr. Weyerhaeuser and his associates, and the formation of the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, with headquarters at Tacoma, Wash. Of this organization Mr. McCormick is secretary. He is also president of the Pacific National Bank of Tacoma. With all his many business interests Mr. McCormick is much of a student. At his home he has a fine library and it is one of the pleasures of his life to spend hours with his books whenever he can get away from the cares of busines. He is fond of history and has devoted much time and research to the early history of the explorers and discoveries in this country. particularly in the Lake Superior region, and of late years in the Pacific Northwest. A few years ago he, at the request of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, of which he was president, prepared and published a history of the press of Sawyer county, which is written in a clear and terse style characteristic of the man. He is interested also in educational matters, having served as president of the school board of Hayward, Wisconsin, the Hayward Library Association, and the Ashland Academy at Ashland. He is a thirty-second degree Mason, is a member of the Order of the Mystic Shrine, also of the Sons of Veterans, and through his fighting ancestry he was enabled to join the Society of the War of 1812, and also the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. In 1867 Mr. McCormick was married to Miss Anna E. Goodman, in Ohio. They have two sons, William Laird and Robert Allen. Mr. McCormick is president of the Washington State Historical Society and also of the Ferry Museum of Tacoma. He takes pleasure in promoting these institutions. PERTINENT PARAGRAPHS. It is true that the farmer is a direct beneficiary of the rural free delivery, but it would be far from the mark to assert that he is the only one. If it is convenient and profitable for the farmer to be brought into prompt communication with the city merchant, it is no less so for the city merchant to be able to reach the farmers promptly. Russian women lawyers are not permitted to practice law. The minister of justice, to whom the request of the Duma for the introduction of a law authorizing the admission of lawyers to the bar was referred, has declined to do this, alleging that the profession is already overcrowded, that the education of women in Russia is not on a sufficiently high plane, and that this question can best be discussed in connection with the general subject of broadening the sphere of female activity, now awaiting determination.
