Seattle Republican

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN POLITICAL POT-PIE The Tenderloin District in its present location is a public shame and a burning disgrace, and so offensive to the general public and the property owners is it that, to wake up some bright morning in April and find summary vengeance had been wrecked upon the district and its inmates driven from the city, would cause no great surprise. There may be some excuse for opening a tenderloin district in a metropolitan seaport town, in some isolated part of the city, where it would not be an eyesore to the property holders and business men, and where it would not be a living advertisement that the city has gone into the white slave traffic for the purpose of maintaining a high financial standing, but there certainly is no excuse for opening such a district in the very heart of the city, and in two blocks of the Union Depot. Even in the district that has been designated by the mayor for the fallen women to ply their nefarious trade, those fallen women who for the past two years have been scattered over the town have not ben sent to it, but, on the other hand, recruiting agents are scurrying over the country in quest of more vicious white slave characters to bring them to Seattle, and rumor has it that those agents were paid fifty dollars each by the women for a location and temporary protection. But, be that as it will or may, there is no doubt but that the district is located where some seventy-five thousand of Seattle's best citizens must daily pass either through or near it in order to get to the city proper; and if that is a hundredth part right, then this paper fails to see a single point of it. That those citizens backed by the business interests of the city will oppose it to the bitter end goes without saying. The general committee, of which Councilman E. W. Way is the chairman, will fight it to the last ditch, and he says that he is willing to go on record as declaring "The district must go." There is an animal in Congress just now known as and truly is a Republican insurgent and he is so from honest convictions; but to that specie no one in the state of Washington would ever be so reckless with the truth as to class Miles Poindexter, who unfortunately misrepresents the third Congressional district of Washington in Congress. Miles Poindexter is no kind of a Republican, he is simply a flat-footed, fire-eating, mossback Democrat—all the same as Vardaman, Tillman, Jeff Davis. To get into office this political acrobat has exhausted the entire party supply of this country, starting out with the Democratic and, like the canine, has now returned to his own vomit. Unless a large plurality of the voters of the third district are Democrats, and Southern Democrats at that, one is puzzled beyond hope of explanation why he was ever nominated. In the late fight with Speaker Cannon the insurgent Republicans accomplished the work they undertook and then returned to their party fold, but that foul-mouthed Poindexter continued voting with the Democrats, thus demonstrating that he was the same Southern Democrat that he has always been.

Strange as it may seem, this same Miles Poindexter is now seeking the Republican nomination for United States senator to succeed Senator Piles. Shades of Fremont, Sumner, Lincoln, Grant, Blaine, Garfield, McKinley and Roosevelt! whither are we drifting? Has Republicanism reached such a low ebb that Miles Poindexter and other renegades of his ilk can wallow in its surf? If such howling political hyenas can lay any claim to Republicanism, then the sooner the party and all of its principles, which in the past have been so dear to the hearts of a great majority of the voters of the United States, and which have made the United States the most prosperous as well as progressive republic under the canopy of heaven, should be tearfully forgotten and its good work go to pieces. It is not possible for a Republican to vote for Miles Poindexter and continue a Republican. Let's either have a Republican party pure and undefiled, or let's not have any party, and every fellow go it for himself, and the devil take the hindermost. Bill Hanna has officially announced his candidacy for treasurer of King county, and in doing so had the audacity to add that the county wanted a business man in the office. If he is correct, then he will get only his own vote at the primary election. Bill Hanna has never done anything in the way of work except clerk in some office, which position he got by political pull. If such weaklings as Bill Hanna can be elected to the most important office in the county, then the taxpayers should register no complaint if they wake up some bright morning and find the court house gone! Just a few years ago the northwest section of Washington boasted of a governor (Meade), lieutenant governor (Chas. E. Coon), secretary of state (Sm H. Nichols), state auditor (C. W. Clausen), supreme judges (H. E. Hadley and _____), but at the present time only C. W. Clausen remains of all that brilliant array of "fellow citizens of the northwest" to tell the tale—and for that reason the Pie-maker is inclined to think that Edgar A. Sims should be elected speaker of the house of representatives of the Twelfth legislature. He has the ability and the peculiar fitness to make an ideal speaker, and he should have no serious opposition. To pull off a county primary election and Frank Griffiths not be a candidate for prosecuting attorney would simply mean that Frank had turned up his toes and gone where the woodbine twineth. Had the man, however, ever shown any qualifications to fill so important a county office, there might be some excuse for his constant candidacy. Of course Griffith has been charged with being a lawyer or attorney at law, but he has never been found guilty, and the law presumes one to be innocent until he or she has been found guilty by a jury of his peers. However, no one takes Griffith seriously as he is only a whitewashed Republican for the sake of an office. State Library REPUBLIC FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1910. VOLUME XVI, H. P. CAYTO --- "I do not think Oil Inspector Clark is guilty of any wrong-doing, and I feel that he should be fully exonerated of the charges that have been filed against him," came from a well-known Seattle man one day this week, and a man who has had opportunity to look into the system by which the state officials are reimbursed for their traveling expenses. "The voucher system, to my mind, is all wrong, and I would suggest that those state officials located at Olympia report to the state auditor the exact time they leave the capitol and the exact time they return, and that all state officials be allowed for their expenses not including transportation, four dollars per day. The United States government allows its traveling officials that amount, and the state officials can live very comfortably on a similar allowance. I can readily understand how Clark charged up small accounts to some hotel in which he had only had perhaps one meal, and the most of the other officials, if the truth was known, are doing the self-same thing. I repeat, no state official should be allowed to exceed four dollars per day for meals and bed, and I say this because I know that many if not all of the state officials turn in expense accounts with meals running up as high as three dollars and rooms at four dollars per day, making something like $10 per day. I do not think such officials are grafters, but they do not live, when out for the state, like they would if they were out for a business house or for themselves. Despite the fact that some of the traveling officials of the state eat at the most expensive cafes and lodge at the first class hotels, all of which the state is called upon to pay, yet it is awfully hard for those officials to remember the hundred and one expenses on trips exactly, so as not to come out at the little end of the horn at the end of the month. If the officials knew they had to live on four dollars per day, it would be up to them to win or lose on their expense account. I repeat, Clark, in my opinion, has done no more than all the rest of the state officials are doing and whose expense account, if examined as his was, would show up in the same light." Until all of the senatorial candidates in King County consent to go into an advisory ballot agreement and likewise agree to be morally bound by the final results there is no use talking about pulling such a deal off. Last year Pierce County held an advisory election at which about one out of every ten voters attended. All of the aspirants but one was eliminated and at once all of the other counties combined against Pierce County's candidate and he met his waterloo. Let King County eliminate if she will all of her senatorial aspirants and the other counties of the state will take it as a move on the part of King to dictate to the other part of the state and some candidate from either Pierce or Spokane will beat the life out of the King County candidate. Better give the smaller counties a fair deal or they may combine and give you a dirty deal. VOLUME XVI, NUMBER 44. H. R. CAYTON, Publisher CLARK AND HIS ACCOUNTS. 2 GROWING OLD. A little more tired at the close of day; A little less anxious to have our way; A little less ready to scold and blame, A little more care for a brother's name; And so we are nearing the journey's end, Where time and eternity meet and blend. A little more love for the friends of youth, A little less zeal for established truth; A little more charity in our own views; A little less thirst for daily news; And so we are folding our tents away, And passing in silence at close of day. A little more laughter, a little more tears, And we shall have told our increasing years; The book is closed, and the prayers are said; And we are a part of the countless dead; Thrice happy, then, if some soul can say: "I live because he has passed my way." —New York Times. Incongruous things are often occurring, old forms and customs are being rapidly relegated to the rear. So, in these piping days of change, many things are done which, though out of the ordinary, are but passing incidents. Among the latest incidents is that of the theatre being converted into place of religious worship as was the case in Chicago on Easter Sunday. An 18-year old actress said she could not rehearse on Easter; she had to attend service. But the manager was obstinate. The pastor of the church proposed that services be held on the theatre stage. This was done, and the report is "sixty men and women, many of them in full "make-up," and others with traces of rouge and grease paint still on their faces, stood in a semi-circle and sang hymns with as much fervor as was apparent in any church." To carry out the entire church custom the pastor, Dean Sumner, delivered a sensible, wholesome sermon, fitting to the occasion, saying: "You are not among relatives, where good family influences will be a restraining power for good. You are always with strangers, thrown on your own resources. Do your best, fight the good fight, lead clean lives, pure lives, and keep a clear conscience." Halley's comet is at the present time, because of its nearness, arousing great interest in the world of science, and much thought is being bestowed upon the celestial visitor. Fortunately, science is richly prepared to thoroughly investigate and to reasonably explain the principles underlying cometary action. The New York Times in a very recent issue has an article from the eminent astronomer, Henri Deslandres, which it seems ought to conclusively settle a very much discussed point. "The theory," writes Deslandres, "that a comet may disturb the atmosphere of the earth, causing rains of great duration, and consequently inundations and the sudden overflow of rivers, is not at all absurd." Then to more convincingly support his statement as concerns the theory he says, "It may, at all events, be sustained by scientific reasoning." Thus it is perfectly consistent to attribute the abnormal conditions prevailing now, and throughout the past winter, to cometary disturbances. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN CURRENT COMMENT Mr. Andrew Carnegie, while on his way East from California, had the great pleasure of meeting the daughter of his only real benefactor of his early start in life. The dispatch says: "As Mr. Carnegie alighted from his private car he was greeted by Mrs. M. W. Babcock, whose father, David Bennett, was a boyhood friend of the steel magnate." This, indeed, was a joyful meeting, being on the part of Mr. Carnegie very felicitous if he possessed his usual happy mood, for his is a kindly, as well as jovial, nature. The recollection of those days of extreme penury and the hard struggle in the intervening ones, reaching up to almost unprecedented worldly possessions, could not have taken more than a minute of thought. And Mr. Carnegie had not forgotten (all credit to his manly heart) the act of David Bennett, nor did he disguise the incident small as it was that brought to him fortune and fame, for, continues the dispatch, "Mr Carnegie recalled the fact that Mr. Bennett gave him a wage of $2.50 a month." And from such an insignificant "wage" there has been built up in a span of a single life a fortune that the very mention of makes one shudder. Human conflicts are apparently as far away from cessation or probable cessation as they have ever been. In all probability there is no substitute for warfare, or as Prof. William James in his late publication says, nothing that is "a moral equivalent for war—something heroic that will speak to men as war has done, and yet will be as compatible with their spiritual natures as war has proved itself to be incompatible." Such language is a cold blanket to that great party of peace the world over which feels that ultimately war will cease through a greater civilization and the domination of moral principles. If war is looked at as being instituted by God, then advocates of disarmament of nations should forsake their calling, since its futility is apparent. War is not an addition to man's nature, but is a part of man, for "it is human nature at its highest dynamic." If it be possible to eliminate war from the life or the sociology of men, there would be lost "the only activity in which a people's entire power is concentrated." Prof. James informs us that the reason peace-advocates have failed to grasp the fundamentals of war has been in their failure "to grasp the psychology of the militarist." Orthodox Christians will be very likely in arms and indignation when they have perused the book, "Religion and Miracle," whose author is Dr. George A. Gordon, pastor of a leading Congregational church in Boston. Dr. Gordon is a deep thinker, a ripe scholar and an author of many volumes. But he says: "Among reasonable Christians of all types of belief it is, I think, generally felt that it is immaterial how Jesus began, or how he came into the world." This statement is so broad and sweeping that a swarm of hornets have hovered about the head of the learned theologian. Because it says that "Jesus Christ did not base his authority on his miracles," and "Belief in Christianity does not depend on belief in miracles," the book is set down upon as pernicious by such publications as the Baptist Advance, the Examiner of New York and the Western Christian Advocate of Cincinnati. Dr. Minton of Tren- FRIDAY. APRIL 1. 1910 ton, N. J., very gravely says: "There are two types of unsafe defenders of the Christian faith: those who claim everything and those who concede everything. Confusion and disaster lie at the extreme in either direction. Dr. Gordon is not of the former class." It is fair to say, however, that "Religion and Miracle" is received by a number of eminent theologians and several religious publications with much approval. The greatest spectacular name in the world's history at this time is that of Theodore Roosevelt, and for once the American nation has a character that will in the future take its place along with Napoleon, Peter the Great, Charlemagne, Alexander, and the like. It is not eccentricity that is controlling his movements, nor is it a grandstand play for effect, nor the dangerous chase of ambition; his is the inevitable career brought about by the evolution of human activities. He is in possession of all the qualities necessary to focalize the position in the world's history that he cannot avoid were he even able to rebel against it. He is a man of destiny and consequently will reach the end of his course just as other men of destiny have done, but in a manner that cannot be conceived by the mind of man. It is not the American people who are watching Roosevelt; it is the civilized world. Empires, kingdoms and republics alike give him consideration and, were the world ready for such a culmination of human society, no more formidable candidate for the Presidency of the World would appear for the world's suffrage than Theodore Roosevelt.

Sheik Ali Toussef of Cairo, Egypt, showed evidences of much ability in his letter to Mr. Roosevelt. He displayed a courage worthy of his cause besides opening a point of diplomacy overlooked by Mr. Roosevelt in his speech, being unconsciously side-stepped. The suggestions as to accepting quietly the conditions under which the Egyptians are governed was hardly admissible, and, considering the country and governmental ideas represented in the speaker, they were appallingly inconsistent to the natives struggling for "liberty and justice." The incident will soon vanish, but it has opened up a line of thought of how easy it is for the daze and glamour of pomp and power to estray one from his base. Because of a scarcity of farm laborers in Lincoln county an agent has been sent to Virginia to enlist a sufficient number of colored families to come out and supply the deficiency. But while a need of help is admitted and is imperatively necessary to protect the incoming enormous crops of the coming season, as well a future ones, a species of petty opposition has set in against such a move. The word has gone around that the move is objectionable on racial grounds and for that reason it should be defeated.

By securing Roosevelt China may think she will get another go at the bigotry of Japan. In the death of Justice Brewer the country has lost one of the ablest jurists it has ever had. If the boy wonder, William Sidis, is not incorrect itineraries to Venus may be added to the Cook tours. Ballinger and Cannon are in positions to mutually console each other with the thought that it could be worse. The press had no better friend than Judge Brewer. His prepared proof copies of his opinions were plumbs to newspapermen. We do not see that the suffragettes have any right to complain. The late Judge Brewer said: "They are the most privileged persons in the nation." It is too bad that such a fighter as Roosevelt did not get the opportunity of shaking hands with the greatest warrior in Africa King Menelik of Abyssinia! Gov.

A most important drawback to this dual capacity maid would be her wages. The ordinary maid receives about $25 a month. The average chauffeur gets that much a week.

Gould shows the magnificence of her jewels, which are valued at $1,200,000. She wears six ropes of pearls which are said to be the match of any lot in America. The display of so many jewels in itself alone would be gorgeous, but newspaper notoriety run with such jewel bedecked cuts impresses many as being in bad taste. The real beauty of the article, however, was its conclusion, which ran: "Mrs. Gould is the happy mother of seven sons and daughters and the devotion and care she gives them shows what she thinks of her living jewels." This makes quite a departure from the general lines along which American wealth and American offsprings have been running.

He favors five causes for divorce: misconduct, desertion, cruelty, lunacy, improisonment for five years. The greatest trouble about his views working on this side of the waters would be the first named cause—misconduct. The liberal construction some American L.L.D.s could manage to give that term would stagger Sir George. At the present time we nickname it "incompatibility." Charles E.

Presby, who for the past four years has represented the sixteenth senatorial district in the Washington legislature, will not be a candidate to succeed himself. The Seattle Republican would not be surprised if Presby was not a candidate to succeed Poindexter in the house of representatives in Congress. Robert Laird McCormick, who is seeking the Republican nomination for United States senator, is said to have mailed a circular letter to 120,000 voters of the state, the postage on which amounted to $2,400, and these are to be followed by similar letters. The Seattle Republican has been incorporated under the laws of the state of Washington and its stock holders are numbered among the leading business men of the city. It is the intention of the Cayton Publishing Company to give the readers of the Seattle Republican an up-to-date weekly publication. E. W. Ross, State Land Commissioner, is in Washington City endeavoring to get certain lands for the state of Washington, which the National government seems inclined to reserve for its own use. Mr. Ross is accompanied by Attorney General Bell, who is looking after the legal end of the entertainment. Very favorable reports are coming from the capital of their efforts. Charley C. Dalton, one of King county's most prominent citizens, has recently returned from a tour of the southwest of the state of Washington, where business relations called him to every county seat in that section, and touching on the senatorial situation, he said: "I heard no one, only in rare instances spoken of for United States Senator except John L. Wilson, which made me conclude that Senator Wilson will sweep that section by a tremendous majority." Perry Niles of Everett spent a few hours in the city one day this week and took occasion to remark, "If Senator Wilson just breaks even in King county he will be nominated for senator by an overwhelming majority." Charles E. Cline, once speaker of the house of representatives in the good old Populist days of the state of Washington, passed through the city last Monday en route to his mines in the Cascade mountains, where he will remain for some weeks. "Well, I am neither a Populist, Democrat, Republican nor Prohibitionist, but THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN might be termed a mugwump and I am therefore looking at the rising of the Poindexter sun." L. H. Gray, who recently returned from a ten days' trip to California, says: "All through California and Oregon and on the train and the boats the people seemed greatly interested in the senatorial situation in the state of Washington and all paid the Hon. John L. Wilson a high tribute and expressed the hope that he would be returned to the United States senate." Hon. John L. Wilson has written the John L. Wilson Senatorial Club to the effect that "at a buffet luncheon to be given at the Washington Hotel Monday evening, April 4th, at 8:30, he will explain his situation as to the senatorial question in the state of Washington." The press of the city will be invited as well as a few of Senator Wilson's personal admirers. Charles S. Gleason, who has been trying a number of cases in Tacoma, which kept him out of the city for a number of weeks, is again in his offices in the Burke block. STATE OFFICIALS. Gov. M. E. Hay was born in Adams County, Wisconsin, Dec. 9th, 1865. With his parents he removed to Northwest Iowa in 1881. In 1882 he became a clerk in Southern Minnesota. He came to Wilbur, Wash., in 1888, going into the general mercantile business, but retiring from it January, 1908. Mr. Hay has always taken part in politics, having occupied several positions in the councils of the Republican party. In 1904 he represented the state at the St. Louis Exposition. Having been elected lieutenant governor of the state in 1908 he, on the death of Governor Samuel G. Cosgrove, March 28th, 1909, became acting governor of Washington, and is serving to the best of his ability. Secretary of State I. M. Howell was born Feb. 13th, 1866, at Waukon, Iowa. At the age of 11 his parents moved to Tacoma, Wash. After attending the public schools he completed his education at the Oregon State Normal School. He became a member of the real estate firm of Howell & Son at Tacoma. He held several county offices and also evinced much interest in militia matters of the state. He was always an active Republican and stands well with the party. His present position is due to an appointment and he is filling it to the satisfaction of all concerned. WASHINGTON COUNTRY PRESS WASHINGTON COUNTRY PRESS Colfax Gazette (R.): Now that Uncle Joe has been eliminated from the rules committee of the house, will the new rules adopted be different from what they are now or have been for the last quarter of a century? Not if the house expects to transact any business. To transact business, however, is just what Democrats are secretly trying to prevent. It remains to be seen how far the "insurgents" will give them aid and comfort in this matter. Sunnyside Sun (R.): Congress was commendably conservative in displacing Speaker Cannon from the committee on rules, while retaining him as speaker of the house. So much power as Speaker Cannon possessed as chairman of the committee on rules is dangerous in the hands of any one man, and un-American besides. The country is not reaedy to do away with Uncle Joe, but demanded that his absolutism be curtailed. Island County Times (R.): While many took but little stock in much of the hue and cry raised against Speaker Cannon of the house of representatives nearly all must admit that the outcome of the fight against the doughty speaker is not only better for the country but also for the Republican party. Needed legislation will now receive the attention it deserves and the party work more in unison. Yakima Democrat (D.): The principal grievance against Cannon was the unwarranted assumption on his part of the right to control the action of committees in reporting or failing to report on bills. Real legislation nowadays is brought about in committee. With a favorite henchman of his in charge of every important committee a wink or a nod from the "Czar" was all that was necessary to either pass a bill or bury it beyond possibility of resurrection. Willapa Harbor Pilot (D.): That the troubles among the politicians in Congress will not end with the adjournment of that body is evidenced by a dispatch from Washington City saying that the leaders in the Republican party are preparing to send out among the disaffected brethren the heavy weights of the party, and that every effort will be made to bring back to the fold the insurgent voter. Davenport Tribune (D.): The repudiating of Cannon means not only revenge for the legislators 5 whom he had grilled and oppressed for years, but is a victory of the nation and a balk at the present Republican party. Taft thought to intimidate the insurgents and save Cannon and Aldrich by withdrawing from them the customary patronage, but his puerile threat only animated them to conquer and sweep the foes into political oblivion. Willapa Harbor Pilot: Editor H. R. Cayton of the Seattle Republican has announced his candidacy for the nomination for the legislature from King county. Just why Mr. Cayton wants to sacrifice his good name is past our understanding. Lest they sacrifice their good name as suggested above has prevented a great many good men from taking any part in politics, not even to accept positions of trust and honor that the general public seemed inclined to thrust upon them. Prior to the late primary election to nominate a municipal ticket for Seattle men of means and affairs were importuned to allow their names to be used in connection with the Republican nomination for mayor, but they unqualifiedly said no, and all because they did not desire to see or hear their good names dragged through the slums of politics. All over the country when some one, who has never been in politics announces his candidacy for an office he is at once suspected of having an ax to grind either for himself directly or for some corporation and for himself indirectly. The editor of the Pilot is absolutely justified in advancing the thought expressed in the above excerpt, not so much because the editor of The Seattle Republican has such a good name to be besmirched, but because, up to the present time, he has at least enjoyed the confidence and respect of those among whom he has resided for the past twenty years, but if he gets what all other men, who have run for office in the past gets he will not enjoy the same degree of confidence among his fellow citizens that he did before he "also ran" for an office. It is most remarkable that a man never develops into a real genuine damn scoundrel until he runs for office or happens to be elected to a public office and the question is, does he merit such treatment at the hands of his fellow citizens? To be in politics is either honorable or dishonorable and it is the one or the other of those who go into politics wills it. 6 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE Nation for King County State of Washington for King County, Henry Taylor, Plaintiff, vs. City of Seattle and John W.
