The law, we understand, has made no provisions for the payment of the expenses for holding such an election, and if that be true, then it is up to those who are so very desirous of having a primary election for the purpose named above, to put up the cash for the expenses of the same. The man who is advocating such a procedure has an axe to grind and hopes by the coming together of such a body to be able to gain some kind of an advantage over some opponent. It does look like jobbing things so far as the supreme court is concerned to send such a constituted delegation to the state convention, but the delegation elected by the county convention will go instructed to nominate George E. Morris the same as the one selected by the county central committee, and for that reason we see nothing to be gained by the holding of a county convention. All the senatorial aspirants from King county want all personal politics, so far as they are concerned, eliminated from the county convention and the delegates to the state convention should not be sent to Tacoma handicapped with a senatorial candidate. If that is done there is nothing to do but to frame a party platform and nominate members of the supreme court and these nominations will be dictated by the corporation whether the delegates be elected by the central committee or by a county convention. The state convention should score the last legislature to the limit for taking the nomination of supreme court members out of the people's hands and again turning it over to the corporations, and score the members thereof hard enough to cause the next legislature to turn this particular nomination back to the people again. STATE EXPERTS SHOULD BE DISMISSED When employees of the state are caught red handed grafting the state treasury as were Stewart E. Smith and O. U. Taro in the expense bills they presented to King county, while employed as experts on the books of the various county officials, such persons should be summarily dismissed from the service of the state. Instead of treating the state fair as a private individual would be treated for the most part employees of the state never lose an opportunity to graft the state. Not being able to openly graft the state of cash, luxuries, in the shape of board and lodging, are ordered by these two-bit employees and these enormous bills are presented to the state for payment. These expert accountants are not the only grafters of the kind in the state of Washington. It is said on very good authority that many of the officials, who make regular trips out from Olympia, put up at the hotels where they have to pay as high as $4 per day for their rooms and never less than $1 for a meal and some times five times that amount, and all of these luxuries are charg- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1910 ed up to the expense account. It is a fact that it takes more to pay the personal expense accounts of the various traveling officials of the state than it does to pay the salaries of the entire office force and all because this wild eyed extravagance is indulged. Until the legislature fixes a stipulated amount as daily expense money for persons traveling in the interest of the state the employee found grafting the state on his or her personal expense account should be fired without ceremony and we believe the place to start this business is in King county and on Stewart E. Smith and O. U. Tatro. THE POSTAL SAVINGS BANK Whether the establishing of such an institution as the postal savings bank by the United States government will be of any real good to any class of the American people is a debateable question, but the law was passed because a great many of the voters demanded it. There is one thing certain it can do no harm. A great many persons, who are afraid of themselves, will take advantage of it and hide their savings therein. It, however, will not withdraw any great amount of money from general circulation because the law permits the government to invest that money in government bonds, which of course puts it back into circulation. The wage worker, who each week earns a small pittance over the cost of living, should have some safe and secure way of husbanding his savings, but if he or she is without a home and it all paid for and the same well supplied with the necessities of life, it would pay a hundred per cent greater returns to put the savings into a home than into any kind of a bank. Too many persons are struggling to boast of a bank account, when they live in either a miserable shack or in a house for which they pay a monthly rental and told in plain English, if any repairs are made on the same the tenant will have to do it as the owner will not. The wage earner, who owns a fair size lot in the suburbs of the city, and keeps that well cared for will not have much to put in a savings bank, that is not for the first ten years, but if the home is well cared for, a nice garden raised every year on the back part of the lot, in the course of time one may be able to use a savings bank, but if any business sense at all be exercised you will use the home institution, the heads of which you ought to be well acquainted with, and having a small account with the institution you are always able to get aid in case what you have runs out. To the farmer the postal savings bank have some advantages and it should be profitedby it. As said above the institution can do no harm and if it does any good or gives confidence to one person in the whole country it will be worth the effort it cost to have it passed. TAX PAYERS GRAFT FIGHTING In organizing a Tax Payers League for the purpose of taking some steps toward reducing the taxes of the state, county and city, a long step in the right direction has been taken. Every person with common sense realizes that taxes in Seattle are excessive and there is no excuse in the world for them being as high as they are, save to furnish more graft money for those fellows, who are eating two dollar meals at the expense of the tax payers. Within the past five years the assessed valuation of real property in Seattle has been trebled and in many instances quadrupled, but despite that increase the rate of taxation has likewise trebled. It should cost but little more to run the government now than it did five years ago, but three times as much money is raised by taxation every year, and it takes every cent that is raised to pay the running expenses of the state government. Every legislature has to make large deficency appropriations for many, if not all, of the departments of the state government. No body of men in the state will find so much work to do as will the Tax Payers League and it is hoped that every tax payer in the county will interest him or herself in the work and try to devise some way to head off the taxation burdens all of them have to bear. To argue that the move is in the interest of the heavy tax payers is the talk of an idiot. If the running ex- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 IDLICAN VOLUME XVII, NUMBER 3 penses of the government are cut down the big tax payers will have to bear the same proportion of the taxes paid for the running of the government as when the expenses were excessive. In other words the big tax payers will pay the most of the running expenses of the government whether they be large or small. STEALING FROM THE DEAD Much is being said just now about doctors, lawyers and undertakers stealing from the dead and there is just cause for complaint. These human ghouls pilfer and plunder the pockets of the dead because they can not kick and they argue, no one else has a right to kick. We are all to an extent our brother's keeper and when one has gotten a fair compensation for services rendered no more should be exacted even from the dead. It was once said of a coroner in Yakima county, who in going through the pockets of a dead man, fifty dollars and a revolver were found on the body. Whereupon a justice of the peace issued a warrant for the dead man. The man was tried for having carried concealed weapons, convicted and fined fifty dollars. Of course the fine was paid for the ghouls had it. Repeatedly in Seattle have physicians rendered enormous bills for medical attendance on a person who was dead when found, but had accessible money. It has been said that all moneys found on unknown dead are appropriated by the first one to go through the belongings and then the county is called upon to pay a pauper funeral expense. If that were not done an expensive funeral bill would get it. Such human ghouls ought to be sent to the penitentiary. EDITORIAL EDICTS A total eclipse of Uncle Sam's son was the result of the return of Planet Roosevelt, which for many moons has been flying through space. Unless that extra police squad near Fort Lawton plays the Don Quixote act and attack a few windmills things will grow awfully monotonous out there. Laws forbidding the use of liquors or anything else do not have the desired effect, but laws purifying liquors and reducing the price of the same might help a little. Seattle's city council has under consideration an ordinance to compel cabmen and expresssmen at the docks and depots to remain within three feet of their vehicles when soliciting patronage. In giving up his option of a twenty years' lease on the Frye hotel building Mayor Gill must be convinced that his wide open policy is going to keep him in the mayorality chair of Seattle a long time. Fifteen thousand dollars to stop the slaughter of cock robins is a good starter on the part of Mrs. Russel Sage. The slaughtering is done when the birds go South for the winter. Mrs. Sage is not such a bad bunch of sage after all. That stage couple who claim to have been married for seventeen years and still happy, must have never played in either the same company or in the same country at the same time or there would have been something doing ere this. On the 4th of July Seattle is to have a Work Horse Parade. There are in the city a fine lot of work horses and if their owners will only lend their assistance, the parade will be a formidable showing of strength, usefulness and equestrian beauty. A Pennsylvania court has decided that a father has a legal right to spank his nineteen year old daughter for keeping questionable company. Now, if other fathers would take advantage of this decision, there would be fewer recruits for houses of ill fame. "Calling rouges to account was never a popular pastime with Brother Blethen neither before or after taking over the Times," says the Lincoln County Times, which owing to the fact that Editor Hamlin is from the same section of the country as Colonel Blethen came from to Seattle, would seem to warrant the belief that, the editor of the Lincoln Times knows what he is talking about. THE PASSING THRONG The state of Oklahoma seems to have been con- ceived in sin and born in iniquity as it has been ina row ever since it first saw the Governor Haskell light of day. It is now in the Breaking the Law lime light over the removal of the state capital from Guthrie to Oklahoma City. Governor Haskell has defied the the courts and threatened to kill the United States marshals, who tried to serve papers on him, and in spite of hell and high waters he has succeeded in es- tablishing the state capital at Oklahoma City where the state routine is grindingaway. As to who is right in the controversey, persons so far remote as those liv- ing in the Northwest, are not capable of judging, but it does seem that even the governor of a state should have some regard for the courts, but Governor Haskell has never shown any very great regard for law and or- der as he already stands indicted in the federal courts for alleged willful disregard of the law. Theodore Roosevelt, the world’s most popular man at present, is returning from a two years’ visit to Af- ; rica and European countries. Planet Roosevelt Wherever he visited he has Hoves in Sight been received with open arms by the entire populace and they do not hesitate to pronounce him the greatest liv- ing man without regard to country or nationality. In his own country Theodore Roosevelt has seen every phase of life. From the modest and tame farm life of New York he has plunged into the wild and woolly West, where he tasted and enjoyed cow punching on a ranch, which, after a few years, became too tame and he returned to New York and plunged just as madly into polities as he did into cow punching and never lost a battle. At the head of a New York regiment in the Spanish American war he was the same brilliant success. Returning to New York he became governor, yice president and president of the United States one Anna Held, who has retired from the stage says t she has saved a million dollars from her stage career. | She and her daughter have sailed for Europe. Aint ¢ it Held? q Charles E. Coon, former lieutentant governor of Washington, was seen in Seattle this week and when asked of the political situation in his county replied: “So far as Wilson and Burke are concerned no verdict seems to have been reached as to which one would be generally supported, but the county is a unit against Poindexter. State Senator William G. Potts and his hotel associ- ates are endeavoring to put the hotel men of the state into politics and he and others have begun to organ- ize them for that purpose. It appears that the hotel men of the state have been in the pockets of the pub- lic long enough already without going into polities and thereby getting deeper into the pockets of the dear public. Dr. W. M. Beach, of Shelton, Mason county, who for the two past sessions of the legislature of Wash- ington, has been an active member thereof, was shak- ing hands with old friends in Seattle this week. “It begins to look to me asif Senator Wilson is so far ahead of all the other candidates that they would all have to combine in order to even hold him a light to run by,’’ said he. “T see,’”? said a prominent Spokane man one day this week, “‘that Hon. C. C. Ramsey is a candidate for state senator from the thirty-fourth senatorial district. I met him in the legislature a few years ago when he was a member of that body andI want to say in his behalf that he was one of the most honorable and straightforward members of the house. He worked night and day for the measures in which the people generally wereinterested. He was not there nursing pet schemes out of which he and his friends would make a nice piece of money, but he was there for the general upliftof the state. Ramsey wason the square and in the open on every measure he supporte,d and I therefore have no hesitancy in pronouncing him as having made an ideal member of the legislature. The voteis of his district could not cast their votes for a more representative man nor a more trustworthy one and I hope he will be elected.’’ Dr. Allen P. Mitten, for many years one of the lead- ing citizens of Seattle and prominent in Republican circles, having for ten years held the position of depu- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN CURRENT COMMENT after the other without waiting for the one to expire before taking hold of the other. He retired from the arena and for two years plunged just as madly into the wilds of Africa as he had done into the mountains of Montana. He is now home again, and while he could be anything within the gift of the citizens of the United States, he would like, itis here predicted, that he will accept none of it unless it be the head of the peace commission, which Congress contemplates establish- ing in the near future. I asked Herman Sielcken, the second largest im- porter of coffee in this country, as to the value of Bra- zilian coffee, which forms 85 per What Makes cent of the American consump- Coffee High ? tion, landed at any port in this country. He said seven and a half cents a pound. Iasked him if that included ev- ery k-nd of coffee, Mocha and Java and so forth. He said, ‘‘No; that would raise it a little, but at the out- side it would not be over eight to eight and a half cents.’”? I then asked how much it would cost to put that coffee ina marketable condition. He said, “At the outside, two cents, allowing for waste and shrink- age.’’ Isaid, ‘‘is that the same coffee that the Amer- ican people are today paying thirty-five cents a pound for?’ He said, ‘Thatis the same coffee.”’ I asked him what the average price had been for the past ten years, and he said that the average price to the con- sumer in this country on coffee was twenty-five cents. I then asked him if he was familiar with the price of coffee in Germany. He said he was very familiar with it, that it was a part of his business, that Germ- any paid the same to import the coffee that we do, that it cost the same amount to roast it, and therefore the value of the coffee laid dcwn ina German port was the same as in an American port, but in Germany they have seven cents a pound duty. He said that the av- erage price of coffee in Germany to the consumer for ty customs collector, died at his home last Monday af- ter a protracted illness, While he clung to the title of doctor, yet he never practice 1 his profession in Seat- tle. He was an active business man from almost the first day he came here until he died, He and his busi- ness associates were quite successful in their real estate ventures. Among the many attorneys who are seeking the Republican nomination for prosecuting atterney of King county, is to be found J. Henry Denning the well known Seattle attorney, with offices in the Starr- Boyd building. For many years he has been promin- ent in political circles and likewise in secret society circles. He has already begun a vigorous campaign and the man who wins will have to reckon with him. ie uJ y J. HENRY DENNING Lieutenant Colonei Allen Allensworth of the United States Army (retired) was a visitor in Seattle the most of the present week. Since retiring he has become an enthusiastic advocate or the colonization of the black folk in the United States and to that end has be- gun a settlement in California where he has secured 5,000 acres and is working hard to establish the colony ona firm foundation. He lectured at the A. M. E. church of this city last Wednesday evening. J. D. Lowman has been re-elected president of the chamber of Commerce of Seattle. Mr. Lowman is not a brilliant orator, but he is a thorough going business FRIDAY, June 17, 1910 the past ten years had been one mark a pound, but he explained that the German pound is ten per cent more than the American pound, and therefore, in our money and in our weight, the price is 21.6 cents a pound, after having paid a duty of seven cents. Now, will any gentleman say that the Payne tariff law is responsible for the increased price of coffee to the consumer, when this is the only courtry inthe world that has free trade in coffee? The fact is that somebody or other is dividing up a profit of one hundred and fifty per cent between what the coffee is worth and what the American house wife has to pay for it. And in Germ- any they only divide up a difference between the value of coffee plus the duty, seventeen cents and 21.6 cents —in other words, 4.6 cents. To the German grocer, or whoever he may be that handles coffee, has a mar- gin of profit of 4.6 andin this country he has 15 cents. —Representative Longworth of Ohio.

The chief executive of San Francisco has virtually admitted that he was just as powerful as the governor and what he says will go. Inthe meantime the sporting fraternity is high and dry in the air because they realize that they are up against hard proposition and have already cast around for a fighting ground, where the atmosphere will not be quite so warm as it will be in California, under the present ecnditions. In all probability the fight will be pulled off in Nevada, where prize fighting is not only not prohibited, but is encouraged. For some reason neith- er of the fighters were inclined to want the mill pulled off in Nevada, but it is now Hobson’s choice, Nevada or nothing. man and he is doing things for that body that it had never dreamed of having done by any one. Few men in the Northwest has a greater foresight for the fut- ure of this section than Mr. Lowman and if Seattle and the chamber of commerce do not reach the zenith of power it will be because they do not follow his ad- vice. He has withdrawn from what might be termed active business, and yet he has many important in- vestments, which require a great deal of his time, but he is devoting the major part of his time to the af. fairs of the chamber of commerce and his good work is telling. Lafe Hamilton and Billy Carle, once political tili- cums, are making a vigorous campaign for the Repub- lican nomination for county commissioner for the sec- ond commissioner’s district against each other. It prom- ises to be the liveliest tilt of the campaign in King county. Bothare from Georgetown and both have jin the past been prominent in Republican circles and for no greater reason than the one helped the other along. Politics not only make strange bed fellows, but it often makes bed feilows strangers. STATE PRESS NEWS The Seattle Society of Good Cheer has begun a se- ries of floral distribution among the hospitals in the city. The Colfax Gazette resents the oft repeated assertion that, Whitman county isa Poindexter strong- hold. ‘'There is no evidence of this section being un- duly favorable to Miles Poindexter’s candidacy and there is no doubtof the fact that, Republicans will control the primaries at the September elections with- out any prefixes or suffixes.’”’ If the Odessa Recorder is to be believed the rush of home seekers to Canada and British Columbia from the United States is subsiding and many of the prom- ised land hunters are returning to Washington and Oregon seeking lands therein and they are a great deal wiser but poorer people.

The county is well dotted with lakes and rivers whose banks offer the most beautiful summer home sites of any county in the state. --- At this season of the year the oysters are spawning and the most of the growers refuse to ship oysters at this season, although there is a pressing demand for them. The next legislature will be asked to pass a law establishing a closed season for oysters, comes from the Mason County Journal. --- However grave the situation at Fort Lawton may have been the Catholic Northwest Progress refused to talk on the question one way or the other in its last issue although the question was red hot. Did you have no opinion one way or the other, Mr. Editor? One thing you are always certain of finding in the Patriarch every Saturday, a roasting for some man or woman that is trying to help humanity. The particular individual may be making a miserable failure, but he or she is doing his or her best, and to be branded as a vagabond and reprobate for trying to do the best one can for your fellow man is not very encouraging. Thurston has a show of getting representation in Congress this year or in the next session of Congress, in the nomination of Charles E. Claypool, says the Olympia Chronicle. Whether Mr. Claypool is an Olympian or a Tacomian is hard to figure out judging from the talk of the papers of both towns. Perhaps he is either pig or pup in a county controversy. --- "It made old timers set up and take notice as they listened to Judge Thomas Burke defend the Payne-Aldrich tariff measure when he spoke in the opera house in this city not long since and all because the most of them remembered when he was a free trader and a "The Colored Soldiers Must Go," is the verdict of the excited and echoed by the daily press of Seattle, and they should go, if the above verdict meets the approval of a majority of the citizens in and about Seattle, for if they stay, as has already been pointed out by one of the daily papers, it might prove a menace to the peaceful relations that have existed between the whites and the blacks of this community for all these years, and no one desires to meet such a condition. Of two evils always choose the lesser and it is easier for the colored soldiers to move than the entire colored population of Seattle, which it would have to do, if it were made the target of race animosity and proscription by a majority of the white folk hereabouts. It may not be according to law and justice for either the colored soldiers or the colored civilians to have to move on from Seattle, where they have pitched their tents and settled down in a state of perfect satisfaction, but it is the vox populi, which is next to the vox dei. For the good therefore of their civilian brethren, who have cast their lots in Seattle and have acquired valuable property herein, it is ordered and decreed that, the Colored Soldiers Move on. The Colored Soldiers Must Go, yes, but should the colored soldiers be forced to go? They should, if the white folk of Seattle are willing to admit that, they are completely incapacitated, owing to their bitter color predjudices, to administer justice to the black man the same as to the white, red and yellow man. They should, if the white folk of Seattle are prepared to admit to the world that, a thousand or more good deeds on the part of colored soldiers are wiped out, lost sight of, count for naught, if one reprehensible act is laid at the door of one of their number. They should, if the white folk of Seattle are willing to admit that, if there be one black sheep among a thousand colored soldiers, who conduct themselves as model men, they must all be branded as criminals, owing to the one black sheep, that occasionally shows up. They should, if the white folk of this community are willing to publicly admit, white soldiers with the bloody criminal record left in Seattle by the regiment which preceded the twenty-fifth infantry, is more preferable to them than the colored soldiers with their good records, with the exception of the overt act of Private Bledser, who plead guilty and is now a state convict. They should, if the crime of Bledser, who at the time was in a beastly state of intoxication, counts for more than the crime of the white soldiers that killed a white woman in a Seattle lodging house. They should, if slight offenses on the part of colored soldiers are looked upon THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN militant Democrat," declares the Yakima Democrat in its current number. "He may be a very able man, but he is by no means an entertaining speaker," it concluded. These Democrats use to speak more pleasantly of each other than they now do. Wonder why? --- "The election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people will surely come," thinks the Kent Advertiser, "because it is one of the much advocated reforms that is a reform." It seems to us that in the state of Washington the senators are practically elected now by the direct vote of the people. What say you Al? The pencil pushers of the state capital have organized a Writers Club with John Miller Murphy. the veteran editor of the Washington Standard, president and Mrs. George Blankshift, secretary. What rights the club has to style itself the Writers Club, if the president and secretary are samples of its membership, is more than a reader can explain. Among the valuable exchanges that come to this round table is the Kalama Bulletin. Its value, however, is confined to its superior qualifications for lighting the fire. Just how a man could have the conscience to charge another for such a paper is more than a Philadelphia lawyer can figure out. State Senator A. S. Ruth in his Washington Saturday Review is making an aggressive fight against the various county central committees naming the respective delegations to the state convention. He is of the opinion that, if done a representative delegation will not be at the convention. Fair play for the black soldier the same as you accord to the white soldier was strongly advocated by the Ranier Valley Record in the last issue. Editor Gill when connected with the daily papers of the city as more heinous than grave offenses on the part of white soldiers. They should, if white folk of this community are willirg to admit that the degree of crime depends upon the color of the criminal. They should, if the white folk of this community desire it to go abroad that the American Negro is persona non grata on the streets of Seattle. It is said that the young Spartan men of ancient Greece were taught to steal by government instructors and at the age of maturity were sent on a mission of public and private pilfering, but if caught were sent to prison, not for the crime of stealing, but for getting caught. The white folk of Seattle permitted a drink resort to be opened near the fort where the soldiers were solicited to spend their leisure moments and swill "drunk water" to their heart's content. Crazed by excessive drink the wonder is the soldiers in that state did not attempt to outrage men, women children and even electric light poles. The white man sowed to the wind in permitting a drink resort in a resident portion of the city and especially so near the fort and he has reaped a whirl wind. The mayor of Seattle, who is solustily calling for the removal of the colored soldiers had no sooner taken his seat as mayor of Seattle, than did the gambling dives throw open their doors and have been running in full blast ever since. The mayor of Seattle has permitted the opening of one of the most notorious tederloin districts perhaps in all the civilized world, to which those colored soldiers were invited to frequent, and once there were thrown in company with the most criminal classes of all colors and nations on the face of the earth. If the colored soldiers under such circumstances have strayed from the straight and narrow path they have not done any more than hundreds of criminal civilians are doing in Seattle every day. It is awfully poor policy for persons living in glass houses to begin to throw stones at the other fellow. Had Seattle remained a closed town as it was under Mayor Miller a great deal of the alleged trouble with the colored soldiers would have been averted. Like the Spartan, however, the colored soldier was invited to be bad, yes damn bad, and like the Spartan was punished for getting caught. Mayor H. C. Gill a few weeks before he was elected mayor defended in the superior court a number of colored persons accused of committing crimes against the peace and dignity of this state, some of whom were found guilty, and yet it never occurred to any one to have all the colored folk run out of Seattle because one or two or a great many of them had been found guilty of criminal acts. After he had been elected 3 always stood out for open justice for all manner of man. He does not believe that even the white man should be granted any special favors when it comes to the law and equity of the situation. Editor Dean of the White River Journal has been thoroughly convinced that Myron E. Hay is making a good governor. Every person looks and acts good to some one, though it is some times rather hard to find the one to whom he or she looks and acts good. Governor Hay has found his admirer in Editor Dean. --- The Puget Sound country needs a representative in the senate of the United States and because the Hon. John L. Wilson made good for the entire state, when he was in the senate, the Island County Times is openly advocating that he be returned to the senate this year. The Times is certianly barking up the right tree. It begins to look as if the Spokesman Review is going to figure Spokane out as having 110,000 population the census enumerators to the contrary notwithstanding. When a city wants a certain thing all it need do is to call upon the metropolitan papers for it and they proceed to give it to them as they like it. Waterville, according to the Big Bend Empire, is to soon be reached by a railroad and thereby give it railroad connection. It says, "It is mighty encouraging to watch the work of track laying going on." The paper then asks its readers will the completion of that road be of sufficient importance to warrant a big Fourth of July celebration? --- Helen Boyle, the notorious kidnapper, says she will die if the supreme court does not reverse her case. If she had gotten her just deserts she would have died before the supreme court ever heard her case. mayor his chief of police uncovered a robbers roost in one of the colored clubs of the tenderloin district, in which thieves were schooled and their loot cached. One of the men caught confessed, plead guilty and is now in state prison, others are awaiting trial, but that club is running in full blast. Neither the mayor or the chief of police has thought it wise to have all the colored folk driven from the city because those criminals had annoyed a hundred or more homes. It seems just as unreasonable to demand that the twenty-fifth regiment be sent away from Seattle in disgrace, because one of their number has committed a heinous offense, as it would have been to have advised that all the colored people, who own homes in Seattle, dispose of them on short notice and leave the city because some of their number had been found guilty of crime. If its a weakness of the human family to commit crimes it would be expecting a good deal to find perfection in the colored man, especially when you remember, he has lived among the whites ever since he was unwillingly brought to the United States by the white man. It was looked upon in ancient days as impossible for the Ethiopian to change his color, but the modern genius has demonstrated the fallacy of that theory for of the ten million Negroes in the United States fully one half of them are of a varigated complexion and some of them so white as to be frequently mistaken for white folk, and the impression has gone out that, the white and not the black man is responsible for this supernatural change. He who comes to the front through great trials and tribulations is considered superior mentally and otherwise to him who comes in a four horse chariot, and perhaps, that has become so firmly fixed in the minds of the white man, so far as the black man is concerned, that in knocking him down he reasons he will be a greater and more powerful character when he rises. With that as a motto let the good citizens of Seattle, backed by the powerful daily press, beat down every black man and woman in the entire community. Make it just as hard for them to exist as one human being with all of the advantages at his command can make it for another with no advantages. Brand the black babies in the cradle as dangerous criminals. Insult the black women and denounce them as moral lepers and their homes as rendezvous for the black male criminals. Be careful to make no exception to the rule, for do not all coons look alike.

We need not import them over here however, as we have all the small men we stand in need of, in a mental way of course. "Are diamond rings necessary wearing apparel?" was a question enlarged upon in a law suit over a gown. We are not certain on the question ourselves but one thing is most evident, if a woman wears a diamond ring, she must hold her hands so it can be seen, incidentally of course, but nevertheless. A recent writer seeks to throw a damper over our joy as we gaze in open mouth admiration at the sweet girl graduates and likewise boys. He says that in no other transaction in life would 60 per cent of a thing be taken for the whole thing, and that in school work a pupil should be required to learn what they are given to learn and not learn 60 per cent of it.

"Economy" is to be the campaign cry of the Republicans in their fight to keep control of the house, it is said that the congressional campaign committee is seeking material in unusual quarters. That politics makes strange bed fellows has long been conceded, but if this forthcoming campaign is to have material from unusual quarters there is no telling what the end will be. "I do not believe in exercise, aside from that entailed by a man's or woman's occupation," declares Mr. Edison. It is strange how apt we are to judge humanity and its needs by our personal conditions and environments. And again how broad minded some people become on certain subjects only to remain narrow on others. Great old world this would be if all mankind lived and believed as does Mr. Edison.

A systematic canvass of every home on the White Earth Indian Reservstion in Minnesota show that of 508 Indians examined thus far 195 were afflicted with trachoma, 85 had tuberculosis in some form, with the glandular form predominating, and 75 were suffering from other eye diseases. The report showed that of the 150 Indian homes visited 90 were unsanitary, 40 only fairly clean, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ceived $5 from the proprietors and employees.

The cats are put to death painlessly by use of chloroform. Seattle has no such institution but those who chance to sleep in houses, in the basement of which stray cats are wont to assemble, have often wished that they did have a bit of chloroform or a good sized brick bat or any old thing strictly throwable. The Chinese League of Justice of America have forwarded arraignments to the authorities at Washington complaining of conditions at Angel Island immigration station near San Francisco. They hold that the conditions there are intolerable, that Chinese students who have been seeking admission to the United States to enter American univers- and only 20 in good condition. On the reservation there are approximately 5,000 Indians, their homes scattered over a territory embracing 400,000 acres. The Japanese government, so it is announced from Washington City, will this week formally abrogate the existing treaty with the United States, which has been in existence since November 23, 1894. The explanation is made that this is no act of hostility, but is part of an effort by that government to revise and bring up to date its whole fabric of foreign treaties. With the treaty abrogated, and in the absence of any new one to take its place, neither Americans in Japan nor Japanese in the United States will have any rights in either country, protected by treaty. BE A MAN. In olden times the Babylonians compelled every one to marry. The young women were put up to auction to the highest bidder. When all desirable young ladies were bidden for, then the undesirable ones were brought forward. In the middle ages monasteries and the convents presented the menace to matrimony. Now it is the commercial system that creates the problem. The great factory stands to-day where the monastery of yesterday stood. "Young men must sow their wild oats," used to be the excuse which even their mothers advanced for them, but the tide is turning and ministers of the gospel and leaders of young men's associations and their mothers and fathers are teaching that the young man, who sows no wild oats, is all the stronger for the battle of life and all the better prepared to choose a ities have been deported without cause and have been subjected to indignities from the immigration officials, and that their women have been insulted. An urgent appeal from China to local Chinese merchants to boycott American manufactories and products until relief is accorded, followed this action. To threaten our individual money is a most speedy way to enable us to see ourselves as others see us. M. B. JOHN L. WILSON. "Eliminating all campaign enthusiasm, of which candidates for office indulge in to a more or less degree, I feel absolutely certain that I will beat Miles Poindexter in Eastern Washington, and I in- wife when he is ready to get married. "It is patriotic to get married," says one minister. "Get married and get married quick," says another. "Boys, select your wives from among the church-going girls and you will be pretty sure to get a helpmate," advises a minister who has seen many sides of life where the youn man is concerned. There are many men who have taken what might be called "Divorce fright." They claim that American laws are too lax. It is true that many young persons, and some old ones, too, for that matter, hold their marriage vows too lightly, but those who have given the matter thoughtful consideration, claim that the underlying cause is not in the American laws which, taken all in all, are strict, but is due to economic conditions. The American, of all classes, marries uncommonly young. Lack of experience, therefore often leads him to make a wrong choice of a life partner. The American woman, primarily, sees no terror in a divorce. She is more independent than the European, has usually more ability and more opportunity to help herself, and is, therefore, more inclined to renounce the support of a husband, and yet American women make the best wives in the world, when they are fortunate enough to get a man for a husband.

Following the popular Western comedey, "In Wyoming," the Russell & Drew players will be seen in a big production of the spectacular "King of the Opium Ring" next week. This play deals with the somewhat harrowing experiences of a beautiful girl who is luckless enough to be the object of admiration and heart's desire of a crafty Chinese opium smuggler. At the same time there are determined to win her two others, a young police official and a villainous sea captain. The girl is abducted by the Chinese in connivance with the smugglers. A thrilling rescue and a consequent righting of the whole tangled situation follow. One of the big scenes of the play will be the chase and capture of the smugglers' yacht by the police and revenue men in a cutter.

POLITICS AND THE POLITICANS FRIDAY June 17. 1910 TO THE EDITOR I read the editorial in The Seattle Times of June 12th last headed "Dill Pickle Politicians Never Change." I was surprised at the argument used. Colonel Alden J. Blethen and his paper have never changed since 1896. During the campaign of 1896 the editor of The Times and The Times were strong advocates of the election of William Jennings Bryan and the Democratic ticket. In 1900 they again supported William Jennings Bryan. In 1904 they supported the Democratic ticket, State and National, and made a strong and aggressive fight for George Turner for Governor and the Democratic National ticket. In 1908, as stated in my former article, The Seattle Times, and its editor-in-chief, Colonel Alden J. Blethen, made an aggressive fight for the election of Bryan and Kern, consequently, under the definition of "Dill Pickle Politicians Never Change" Colonel Alden J. Blethen and his paper, The Seattle Times, are dill pickle politicians. It has been a mystery to me for a long time what right Colonel Alden J. Blethen and The Seattle Times had to dictate the policies and nominees of the Republican party. They are the enemies of the policies and the candidates of the Republican party and the rank and file of the Republican party should take no stock whatever in the advice given by the editor-in-chief or by his organ, The Seattle Times, as to nominations and policies of the Republican party. CHAMELEON POLITICIAN. "THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That in the opinion of this Chamber of Commerce it would be against the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Picture of a man in a suit with a badge on his lapel. He is facing the camera, looking directly at the viewer. The background is a dark, solid color. The man's hair is light-colored, and he has a serious expression. The portrait is oval-shaped.] JOHN E. HUMPHRIES best interest of the Pacific Coast and of the whole country to conclude any treaty or enact any law, the effect of which would be to treat the people of Japan in a manner different from the treatment accorded to the people of other civilized powers." In the preamble it was further said, "We believe that any immigration treaty which would discriminate against Japan by denying the people of that country ordinary rights and privileges granted to the people of other civilized countries would be uncalled for and would injure the Pacific Coast farmers by barring the way to a large and profitable market for flour and other food stuffs." At that time Judge Burke had retained the same "dill pickle" notions that he had in territorial days. The resolutions were published with great head lines in his Democratic organ, The Seattle Times. At that time Judge Burke and The Seattle Times believed that the Chinese Exclusion laws and the Japanese treaty should be changed so as to admit free, naturalize and enfranchise the five hundred million Chinese and Japanese from China and Japan. They were in favor of opening the door to the admission, naturalization and enfranchisement of the seven hundred thousand surplus Japanese every year. They never stopped to think that to open the flood gates for the five hundred million of brown men from the two empires would flood the United States and drive the white man and white woman off the Pacific Coast. The masts and spars of every ship coming from the Orient would be covered with the brown men and would resemble flocks of black birds coming to the United States, yet Judge Burke drew the resolutions, had them passed, had them printed in The Seattle Times and now, according to The Seattle Times, the twelve thousand names upon the Burke rolls are all endorsing the Burke resolutions, are all in favor of free immigration of the Chinese and Japanese and the Hindus and are all in favor of turning over the Pacific Coast to the brown men and displacing the white labor and driving it off the coast. The argument that the exclusion of Japanese and Chinese would injure the trade with Japan in shipping them flour and other food stuffs is simply fallacious and nonsensical in the face of the declaration recently made by James J. Hill and printed in The Seattle Times that we do not have flour and food stuffs enough for our own people, and that it will only be a short time until we will be compelled to import flour and food stuffs to support the people of this country. Do you suppose that if The Times would come out, print the resolutions, call attention to the free admission of Chinese and Japanese and the principles for which Judge Burke stands that Judge Burke would receive twelve thousand votes in King County, or in the State of Washington? I notice from The Seattle Times that Judge Burke has unanimously carried the different counties of Eastern Washington in his mind. Do you suppose that if the farmers of Eastern Washington were told by Judge Burke that he did all in his power to defeat the Railroad Commission bill, that he has opposed the Railroad Commission bill, that he has been doing all in his power to defeat the Chinese exclusion law and doing all in his power to have a treaty made admitting the Japanese and Chinese upon the same conditions and positions as the German, English, Scandinavian, Irish, French and other European white people, that he would carry a single county in the State of Washington? Why don't you, in your paper, let the people know the position and record of Judge Thomas Burke in the State of Washington for the last twenty-five years? Do you suppose that Republicans, belonging to the Republican party, if they knew that Colonel A. J. Blethen and The Seattle Times wer 6 rock-ribbed Democrats and had in every National campaign supported the Democratic ticket during and since 1896, and had been doing all in their power to tear down and disrupt the Republican organization in this State, would now accept their proffered leadership, listen to their advice, forsake their own party and follow false gods and false leadership? The Seattle Times and Colonel Blethen's conduct reminds me of the story of the devil shearing a hog. It is related that the devil passed along where a farmer was shearing sheep. That he was somewhat taken with the idea. He gathered up a hog, tied it upon the shearing board and proceeded to shear it. It is said there was great noise but little wool, and whenever the Republican campaign starts, and the Republican candidates are in the field, then Colonel Blethen and The Seattle Times will gather up some Democrats, place them upon the shearing board and the noise will be tremendous but the yield of wool small. When, since the year 1896, has Colonel A. J. Blethen knelt at the Republican alter? When and where was he baptized in the Republican faith? When and where did he return to the Republican fold? It is dangerous for a church or a political party to put new converts in the lead. The Republicans of the Third Congressional District in this State tried it in the election of a new convert by the name of Miles Poindexter to Congress. When he got into Congress he became the most blatant Democrat in the body. It is said when Champ Clark calls upon the Democrats to arise and vote against the Republican measure, no matter what it is, that Miles Poindexter is the first Democrat to get up. With Judge Burke in the United States Senate who knows whether he has the stability to stand by the Republican party or will he not return, like a hog to his wallow and the dog to his vomit. Will he not introduce in the United States Senate a bill to repeal the Chinese exclusion law? Will he not immediately introduce in the Senate a bill to naturalize and enfranchise five hundred million of Chinese and Japanese? Will he not take the ground that his organ, The Seattle Argus, now takes, that it is necessary to have the Japanese and Chinese for house servants, for porters, for elevator boys, for barbers and clerks in the store and to have them surplant the white race? All these are questions now before the American people, and especially the people of the State of Washington. The greatest issue now before the State of Washington is whether or not there shall be free immigration, free naturalization and free enfranchisement of the Oriental races and whether or not the white man and white woman shall be surplanted by these races. It overshadows all tariff ideas, overshadows all conservation ideas and all other political and economical questions now before the people of the State of Washington. On July Fourth, next, I have been invited to address the citizens of King County at Bellevue. At that time I will take pleasure in discussing publicly with Judge Burke the Chinese and Japanese questions and the other questions set forth in my circulars. I will take the affirmaitve in those questions and allow him to take the negative, and while he is a great orator and a great speaker, yet in my time I have met great orators and great speakers and I will take pleasure in measuring swords on that day and at that place with the great champion of Chinese and Japanese immigration, naturalization and enfranchisement and the repealing of the Chinese exclusion acts and the abolishing of the Japanese treaty. IN A PICKLE. If ever two men and a newspaper were in a pickle, at the present time, those two men are Judge Burke and Colonel A. J. Blethen and The Seattle Times. When the Republicans learn their history politically and the Eastern Washington people learn the history of Judge Burke on the Railroad Commission bill he will be repudiated on every hand. The "pickled" condition of Burke and Blethen reminds us of the quotation from Janiver Stories, thus: "The twins, Antonio and Antonia, who gave a world of trouble—for they were sad pickles." I am afraid that some of the Republicans who are following after the leadership of The Seattle Times will come out like the story of the hired mourners at the funeral: They were following the corpse and hearse and were crying aloud and weeping profusely, as hired mourners do, when they came to where the roads forked. The funeral procession turned to the left and the mourners turned to the right. After they had gone several blocks, still wailing loudly, one of them looked up and found instead of following the funeral procession they were following the swill wagon. In this case in following false leadership, false gods and false prophets, Democratic leaders and Democratic newspapers, they will evidently find out they are on the wrong road and are following the Japanese and Chinese wagons.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is looking for your legal publications, and if you are looking for your own business interests you will see to it that no publication is sent from your office without first talking with CAYTON about it. It is an indisputable fact that there are but two weekly publications in Seattle that publish lawyers' legal notices and give the lawyers no trouble on account of errors and prompt "returns" of publishers' affidavits, and THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN takes the lead. In this day of busy, bustling activity, the lawyer's time is so much absorbed in the preparation of his voluminous cases that he has not the time to look the paper over every week to see if his notices are being regularly published, nor to read over his notices to see if they are absolutely correct. It often happens that even lawyers make errors in getting up their notices for publication, which errors are very annoying to the lawyers if not detected and corrected before going into the paper. If, therefore, the lawyer feels absolutely certain that the publisher gives his personal attention to notices sent to his paper and either corrects small errors in notices or calls the lawyer's attention to them before going to press it's a great relief to his mind. The publisher of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN has had so much experience with legal publications that he can detect a faulty publication almost as readily as the lawyer himself, and, if not a grievous one, corrects it then and there, but if a grievous one, the lawyer's attention is called to the same before going to press. Returns on publications are promptly made, so that lawyers do not have to worry about the publisher's notice after his case has been called in court.
