HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - - Associate THE TACOMA CONVENTION Was a gathering of the clans, the renewing of the faith and the re-baptism in old-time Republicanism, not an introduction of Insurgent or Progressive Republicanism nor the standing pat on Regular Republicanism, but the renewing of the faith in the Republicanism of our fathers. The man who is seeking an office at the hands of Republicans, who did not participate in that convention, is not a Republican. Republicans from every county in the state were at Tacoma and shook hands with the old-time Republicans and got acquainted with other Republicans who have come to the state since the last convention was held. Those partisans in many instances differed widely as to the proper course for the party of their choice to pursue, but they thrashed out their differences in the councils of the party and left Tacoma the same true blue Republicans that they were before they went there, and the man who could not do that is not a Republican and is a liar and the truth is not in him, if he says he is. The senatorial candidacy of no one was espoused in that convention, but a platform was put out on which every loyal Republican can stand and fight for the success of the party. At that convention Miles Poindexter, who says he is a Republican, and who is seeking to be elected to the United States senate by Republicans, was conspicuous for his absence. Here was a great gathering of Republicans and yet one of the men seeking the highest office in the gift of the people was not present at its councils and not present simply because he was not in harmony with Republicanism. The greater part of Mr. Poindexter's life has been spent in the Democratic party damning Republicanism, and for him to participate in promulgating genuine Republicanism, did not svit his effete Virginia taste, and he therefore preferred to stay away and throw stones at the platform when it had adjourned. On the rostrum sat Senator Jones and Piles, each representing distinct factions of the party, but they talked Republicanism and forgot their differences for the time being. The Wilson adherents mingied freely with the Burke followerss. The members of each faction wore the insigna of their favorite for United States senator, but they forgot all that when the convention convened and all marched to their seats to the strains of Republican music and again pledged themselves to that kind of Republicanism that is ready and willing to submit to the majority. But Poindexter, oh, where was he? He did not feel called upon to render an account of his stewardship to Republicans of what he had done in Congress. He had no report to make. He had not acted with Republicans while in Congress and of course had nothing to tell Republicans. What a pity the Democrats do not hold a similar convention and have Miles Poindexter to tell them how he walloped the life out of the Republicans. Women seem more adapted to the school work than men and we therefore hope the voters of King county will nominate the woman, who has filed for the Republican nomination of superintendent of schools. The present superintendent though he wears trousers on the streets is nothing more ro less than a sorehead "sissy" and does not deserve a second term in office. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 1910 SHOULD CHILDREN BE PUNISHED? Dr. G. Hanley Hall, President of Clark University has theoretically upset some well established rules and caused more than one anxious parent to stop and take notice, by an address which he delivered at Trinity church, Denver, Colorado. He advocates fighting among children because it developed their courage and makes them far more fit for the world's battles. He aaserts that it is not the best thing in the world for children to be obedient to rules for the reason that rules are generally made by the parents and teachers for their own convenience and not for the good of the child. Children, he declared, who are permitted to cry whenever they so desire have a much better chance of becoming great singers than those who are taught to repress their tears. The average father, at least, is willing that his child put up a stiff fight when it becomes necessary, but most Americans will not permit their offspring to cry freely, future good singing notwithstanding. They must either shut up or receive punishment; old timers use to call it "something to cry for." To permit a child to strengthen its vocal cords by annoying every one else in the house is to encourage selfishness in the child. That it is not necessary to the child's happiness is proven by the rapidity with which the average one becomes quiet on being placed where it thinks it is out of earshot of the other members of the family. A school or home without discipline is beyond the American conception of either. Discipline without absolute obedience is impossible. However, it is not the extreme but the happy medium both as to children and adults from which we shall have to draw our examples. ENGLISH CRIMINALS PUNISHED Dr. Crippen is all in and is now making his return trip acrooss the Atlantic to stand trial for murder in England. The sleuths of Scotland Yard scented well and though the doctor possessed the cunning of an old fox, yet he was tracked to his lair and saw his finish before he saw land on his flight trip across the ocean headed for Montreal. Whether or not the doctor has actually murdered his wife or any other woman is purely problematical, but one thing is certain, he will have to explain before the English courts the strange disappearance of his wife; and secondly, to account for the body of the woman found in the basement of the house which ye occupied in London. Please note the contrast in taken human life in England ann fleeing the country and that of the recent murder case in Italy. Dr. Crippen is only suspected of having committed murder in England, while young Charlton was not only suspected of having committed murder, but confessed to the same, and instead of being immediately taken back to stand trial for his act, the United States government and Italy are splitting hairs over some weakness of the treaty between the two countries as to whether he will be sent back or turned loose. If you commit crime in England you will be punished. PERFECT PEACE PRESERVED Down in Texas another bloody uprising on the part of unruly Negroes have been reported and it necessitated the killing of some fifty or more of them on the part of the humane whites in order to preserve peace. It is very remarkable that the Negroes of the United States should periodically so far forget where they are as to make efforts to drive the whites from the land and take possession of the same for themselves, but if the press of the country can be relied upon they will do it. It was but a few days ago that a deputy sheriff of a county in Mississippi went out to arrest a Negro and finding some ten or a dozen of them talking together declared they were planning to attack him with clubs and he was forced to shoot down five of them in order to show his authority. Even the sheriff of this county in which the wholesale killing of the Texas Negroes took place declares he can find no excuse for the wholesale killing of the blacks and for the reign of terror that was instituted against the Negroes by the white border outlaws save the thirst to slay a few Negroes. All of which is done in a Chris- VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 10 tian country where our sages, philosophers and preachers meet and condemn Russia for her barbarous treatment of the Jews. It can be proven by the records that no country throughout all Chrisendom has shown as much real hostility to a weaker people living among a stronger as the whites of the United States have shown to the blacks. DEMOCRACY DUMPS BRYAN Has William Jennings Bryan finally met his Waterloo in politics? is the question of the hour. For nearly twenty years the country has set up and taken notice to Bryan's paramount issues, more perhaps since he had the united Demecratic party behind him than because of the real merit in them but has he in trying to force the Democratic party to adopt the Prohibition question promulgated a real live issue that will result in the overthrow of the party that has given him succor for so many years. There is no denying the fact that the drink question is rapidly becoming the paramount issue with the men and women of the United States and Mr. Bryan has certainly touched a popular chord, and if he refuses to follow his party in its adoption of a whisky platform and casts his political lot with the anti-drink forces, whether they be Democrat or Republican, it means that the drink question is going to have a rocky road to travel. As an Anti-drink advocate it is believed that Mr. Bryan will show more strength than he has ever yet in all of his paramount issue proclamations. PROHIBITION IN WASHINGTON And speaking about the drink question in the United States it is the private opinion publicly expressed of some of the leading Republicans of the State of Washington that, there is grave danger of the state falling into the prohibition column at the next election. That is to say, elect a sufficient number of members of the legislature to pass a strong county unit local option law and perhaps even a prohibition bill. The question is as much an issue in the state as is conservation and the statesman would do well to set up and take notice of it as well as some of the other all absorbing questions. The last legislature lacked but two votes of passing a strong county unit local option law and it is more than possible that it will be able to the law at the next legislature although it is being argued to the contrary. EDITORIAL EDICTS If Jim Jeffries was really doped the doper must have used black Jack oil. Poindexter may have the rank and file with him, but he didn't have the convention. "Jeffries won't come back," is a dispatch. To the chagrin of a good many he didn't come back. With Dr. Crippen in irons there seems to be no reason for the sun not moving on in the same old way. According to the political ethics of the Times and Star in order for your candidate to win you must hold up his opponent as a renegade steeped in crime and vice. It begins to look as if the Times and the "Awgus" would reduce the senatorial contest in Washingson to the stage of, Judge Thomas Burke the hope of the white race, and yet, if reports be true, he has a "yellow streak." Did the Burke and Poindexter men unite to defeat the move to have the election of the judges of the supreme court put back on the direct primary law and to knock out the second choice law? It may not be a in ringed arena, but nevertheless it is being hinted that Edward B. Palmer is to make his campaign for state senator in the thirty-seventh senatorial district as, "the hope of the white race." A straw vote on the Burke's Booster boat for United States senator resulted in Burke getting sixty per cent of all on board, which is another indication of the rend of the voters of King county to Burke. THOMAS BURKE AND THE SENATORSHIP WESTERN ENG. 2 Judge Thomas Burke has no more show of being endorsed for United States senator by the voters of the State of Washington than does the editor-in-chief of the Seattle Daily Times, and even if he should carry King county by 14,000 plurality over John L. Wilson. For it is a fact that there are but two other counties in the state in which Burke has developed any strength at all and it is a question as to whether he will even carry those counties. He has developed some strength in Chelan and Skagit counties, but it is very doubtful of him carrying Chelan over Poindexter and he and Henry McBride will have to fight like Turks to carry Skagit county over Wilson. The question at this writing is how much plurality over Wilson will Burke carry King county. Burke's supporters have publicly declared that, he will get 60 per cent over all the votes cast. In the face of that assertion, however, the party workers, who, in the past have never lost a battle, are lining up for Wilson. The county central committee is almost a unit for Wilson and the city committee is in a like frame of mind. The old party workers throughout the country are invariably for Wilson and the only newspaper support that Burke has in the county is the Daily Times, the well known Democratic organ, that has never won a victory, and whose support Republican politicians have invariably run from though they may not have courted its open opposition. If the above statement be true, and they have not been disputed by even the Times, then why in Heaven's name will not John L. Wilson make a splendid showing in the King county primaries, even to the extent of breaking even with Burke. There will be, perhaps, something like 40,000 votes cast at the primaries in King county and conceding Judge Burke 60 per cent of the entire vote cast, which is utterly impossible, he would get 24,000 votes at home and with the line-up for Wilson he should get at least 10,000 in King county and this would give Judge Burke a lead over Wilson of that now famous "14,000," which Wilson would have to overcome to beat Burke in the state. Leaving King county and going south neither candidates will get enough out of Pierce to be considered an item, but in the other counties southwest Wilson's plurality will in all probability be as follows: Counties Plurality Thurston 500 Lewis 1,000 Cowlitz 500 Chehalis 1,500 Mason 500 Pacific 300 Wahkiakum 200 Clark 500 Northwest. Kitsap 1,000 Snohomish 1,500 Whatcom 1,500 Island 500 San Juan and Clallam 500 Jefferson 300 Total 10,300 Total In every case the Wilson strength has been almost cut in two as estimated by those who have made a canvass of the counties. Now, giving Burke all his most enthusiastic supporters claim for him in King county in Western Washington he could only lead Wilson 4,000 votes. Now as to Eastern Washington. Henry McBride has said that the fight was between Poindexter and Wilson, with the odds in the latter's favor. If that be true, then Wilson will lead Burke in that section something like 10,000 votes and leaving Burke in the rear some 6,000 votes at the general wind up. It will thus be seen that it is as utterly impossible for Burke to receive the senatorial endorsement as it is for a snowball to fly through hades. Then, if any one in King county is to pull out of the race, it should be Burke instead of Wilson. If King county really wants a senator she had better fall in behind Wilson and so far as Burke is concerned forget it. Oh, what a baseless fabric of a vision is all this Burke talk of being elected to the United States senate, when everything and everybody indicate that he is an utter impossibility, and would not be mentioned at all in that connection, if it were not for the fabulous sums of money that are being spent to keep him in the limelight. Think about it, a most conservative estimate of the amount of money that was spent on the Burke campaign at the late Tacoma convention, places it at not less than $5,000. In the Hotel Tacoma the Burke Campaign Committee had twenty rooms engaged, for which, including the board of those who occupied them, not less than $5 per day each was paid, and the committee had equally as many rooms in the Donnelly hotel. Aside from the AEROBIL BURKE AND THE S keeping of these men each of them was supplied with a liberal amount of cash to take care of the delegates at the bar and there were tons of literature distributed. On Wednesday, according to the Times, the Democratic organ of the Burke Campaign Committee, 400 Burke boosters went over to Tacoma, for whom, either the committee or some one else, had to pay. It is plain, therefore, that the sum of $5,000 as the cost of the convention to Burke is conservative in the extreme, and in spite of all that money and men, in the interest of Burke, seventy-five per cent of the delegates to the convention favored the nomination of John L. Wilson. Had some one announced on the convention floor that Burke was a candidate the Wilson forces would have, figuratively speaking, taken the top of that building off. It is safe to say that $100 in cold cash would have paid every dollar the Wilson Senatorial Campaign Committee and John L. Wilson himself spent at the Tacoma convention, all of which clearly demonstrates that, after all there is more in running for office than the spending of thousands of dollars. --- FRIDAY, August 5, 1910 ENATORSHIP WESTERN ENG. Cool, calculating men, men of truth and veracity, men of long political experience, men who know the political game and men from every county in the state made bold to assert at the Tacoma convention that Thomas Burke was an utter impossibility in the senatorial contest. That he will get a great many votes goes without saying, and any man who will spend $100,-000 in a contest of that kind would get the same thing, but Burke has no chance and both he and everybody else connected with his campaign committee must see it. Even in King county where multiplied hundreds of dollars have been expended in boosting his campaign he will not do more than break even with his competitor and in order to make any showing he must carry the county by an overwhelming majority; yes, a majority such as no man has ever before gotten in the state of Washington. Why are many of the business men of Seattle so bent on electing Judge Burke or electing no one from King county? Why do they not look the situation JOHN L. WILSON VS. KING COUNTY WESTER M. ENG. - 1900 - FRIDAY August 5. 1910 JOHN squarely in the face and say, if we cannot get what we want we will take the next best thing? Two years ago the same losing fight in King county was put up for Levi Ankeny, and despite the fact that every effort was made to whip the county into line, yet his plurality was so small in the county that, it was the same as no endorsement at all. Senator Piles staked his political fortunes on Ankeny's success who went to defeat, thereby ruining his opportunities of succeeding himself, and owing to the bitter opposition that was shown Jones it would have been natural for him to become an enemy of King county. The same foolish tactics are beng pursued by the Burke supporters today and as a result, King county will not have a friend at court. It must be plain to Judge Burke and his King county supporters that John L. Wilson has ten to one --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. . WILSON VS. KING the strength in the outside counties as Burke, and since King county cannot elect a senator all by herself, how can she ever hope for Burke to win? If King county would say the word Wilson would beat Poindexter in every county in the state and yet if Wilson would get out of the race Poindexter would beat Burke $30,000 votes in the state. That Judge Burke is the candidate of the railroads is plain to be seen by every one and that the voters of the state of Washington will turn any one down for the senate that they believe represents the railroads have been demonstrated in the past and will be repeated next September. As between Burke and Miles Poindexter even King county would give Poindexter a plurality. As between Burke and Poindexter, Spokane county would give Poindexter 15,000 majority --- and so in proportion in every county in the state. On the other hand, John L. Wilson will run neck and neck with Poindexter throughout Eastern Washington. In some counties he will loose to Poindexter while in others he will win with such odds as to offset Poindexter's gains. In Spokane county even the Burke men declare Wilson will carry the county. Of the entire Spokane delegation Burke had but five followers,, Poindexter ten, and Ashton one, and yet the Burke men say, that that indicated nothing as to Wilson's real strength. If King county is anxious to get a senator there is but one way to get him and that is by getting behind John Lockwood Wilson and that too, whether it pleases the Seattle Daily Times or not, for the Times is liable at any minute to switch to Poindexter, if by so doing so, it thinks the defeat of Wilson is assured. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN 4 --- ATTORNEYS,ATTENTION! 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' affidavit, 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. CAYTON PUBLISHING COMPANY 7 Epler Block Phone Main 3 Seattle - - Washington 307 Epler Block Phone Main 305 Seattle - - Washington FRIDAY August 5. 1910 THE PASSING THRONG [Name not visible in the image] FRIDAY August 5, 1910 Only Claude C. Ramsey and George U. Piper have filed for the Republican nomination for senator from the thirty-fourth district, which comprises the same district as the forty-fourth representative. The two senatorial candidates are saying that they mean to keep hands off of the representative entanglement, but it will hardly be possible for them to do so and when they do go to mixing it will be a mix-up that you read about. Frank B. Wiestling, who has filed for the Republican nomination for prosecuting attorney, is moving on in the even tenor of his way and not making quite as much fuss about it as and ex-Democrat, Frank Griffith, but he seems to be gaining ground every day. An ex-Democrat must always necessarily make a good deal of fuss when he comes into a Republican camp, in order that the fellows may know he has turned over and turned over in order to get an office. Charles Beckingham has filed his declaration for the Republican nomination of county commissioner of the first commissioner's district and has begun to make an active campaign. Mr. Beckingham only lost the nomination by a small vote two years ago and he believes that he can do better this time and hence his filing. Up to date three have filed for that nomination, M J. Carrigan, David McKenzie and Charles Beckingham. H. R. Cayton has filed for the Republican nomination for state senator of the thirty-fourth district. If nominated and elected he will not go to Olympia as a one idea man as would either of his opponents in case he was nominated and elected. No district in the state is so varied in its constituency as the thirty-seventh and it does not need a radical to represent it in the state senate on any subject or measure and that is just what would happen to it if Palmer or Jackson should be nominated or elected. The former is tied up body and soul to "interests" with anti-prohibition as a side issue, while the latter is tied up to an extent to the "interests" with prohibition as a side hobby. Neither of those men are broad minded enough to represent a district of the kind of the thirty-seventh and there is doubt but what they will be elected to stay at home. J. W. McConnaughey, who is seeking the nomination of county treasurer, ought to defeat his opponent, Bill Hanna by an overwhelming majority for it is a case of an upstart running against a real man. Bill Hanna has done nothing since he left school but fill minor clerical positions in the county court house or the city hall and he has done that so long that he has come to think that the county must provide for his maintainance all through life, while Mr. McConnaughey is one of the strong business men of the city and can give the county a good business-like administration of the affairs in that office. Claude Ramsey was the most popular man in the King county delegation, when he was a member of the legislature," said Frank H. Rennick, who is also a candidate for senatorial honors, one day this week. "I am not mixing in that fight and am expressing no opinion as to which of the men I should like to see win, but I am speaking from personal experience. Should he be nominated and elected he would from the very outset take his place as one of the strong members of the senate and be of much service to that body." State Senator Davis of Grant county spent a couple of days in the city this week the guest of the Arlington, and speaking of the senatorial situation in his home county said, "The fight in Grant county is between Wilson and Poindexter with the odds in Wilson's favor. Burke is not in it." Dan Cross, who for many years was one of the prominent attorneys of Seattle, is now a resident of Grant county and is located at Eprata. "We have a good town and a most excellent farming country all around, and it looks good to me. In my opinion the county is overwhelmingly for Wilson for United States senator and those that are not for Wilson are for Poindexter. Personally I admire Judge Burke, but he has not a peep in so far as Grant county is concerned." W. H. Clark has filed for the nomination of representative from the forty-fourth representative district. Thus far five have filed for the Republican nominations of representative from the district with two to nominate. Dr. Ghent switched from his intention of filing for senator and filed for representative and the filing of W. H. Clark further complicates the complex situation in the forty-fourth. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN E PASSING THE RUTH ON BRYAN Speaking about Colonel Bryan's political Waterloo, State Senator Ruth in his Washington Saturday Review has the following comment: "We have been told that the 'prayers of the wicked availeth nothing,' but after reading the news item concerning the downfall of Bryan in Nebraska, have come to the conclusion that our informant lied. Ever since the disastrous days of '96 we have offered up many a silent prayer that the Demacrats would get wise to themselves and fire the man of many hobbies into the political junk heap, and recent reports from Nebraska would indicate that our prayer has been answered. Now if the Republicans would only take a tumble to themselves, and, after gently but firmly ramming the teeth and goggles down the neck of the big stick windjammer, grasp the four flush iion hunter by the slack of the pants and slam him into the political bone-yard, an old-time Republican would heave a sigh of relief and take great pleasure in voting the ticket straight—same as he always has." NO PLACE LIKE HOME Maybe, after all, one lot in life is not much better or worse than another, so far as real happiness goes, but there are some things that seem very necessary to us, and that little corner in God's creation we call home is one of them. Home, whatever its hardships, is the best place this side of heaven. Plenty, comfort, luxuries, culture are good to have. But there is not enough of all these in the world to recompense the loss of the simplest joys of the humblest home that is lighted and warmed by love. All the wealth of mines and farms and factories cannot give such genuine and enduring satisfaction to the soul as does the wealth of love and faith and sacrifice that makes the home the corner-stone of civilization. Love, fidelity and faith are the only treasurers indispensable to the real home of any heart. These, in the humblest cottage—these, houseless, beneath the bleak sky—these shelterless, starving, naked—these make a happy home anywhere. The real life is not outside ourselves, but within. The real possessions are not what the hands may grasp but what the heart may hold.—Memphis News-Scimitar. --- 6 H. E. FOSTER Who is seeking the Republican nomination for representative from the forty-seventh district, is one of the leading lawyers of the city and likewise one of the heavy property holders of the district. If there is one man who has filed for a Republican nomination that is the quintesence of honesty and integrity it is H E. Foster and he should poll a very heavy vote. He has lived in the Third ward for the past ten years and is well and favorably known. He is not mixing in the fight of other candidates because he believes it is the duty of persons seeking such favors to stay out of the business of boosting others. He has always affiliated with the Republican party and always advocated the principle of settling all party councils and win or lose stay by the party. There are two representatives to be nominated and the friends of Mr. Foster hope that he will be one of the number. In the past he has always done his part in the state, county and city campaigns, all of which entitles him to a fair and favorable consideration on this part of the the Republicans of the district. MILES POINDEXTER AN INGRATE If there was anything lacking to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Miles Poindexter is a demagogue and a political freebooter the evidence was forthcoming at the reception given by the Young Men's Republican Club at the Grand Opera House last Thursday evening. With the spirit of liberality so characteristic of those sterling young Republicans they overlooked the fact that Poindexter had long since surrendered every tie that connected his name with the Republican party and had practically declared himself a Democrat, and extended to him the courtesy of that reception the same as the Republican members. President King Dykeman, in his opening remarks, mapped out the course the speakers were supposed to follow and Senator Jones, the first speaker of the evening, followed the prearranged program to the letter. His remarks were timely, pleasing and well received, but it remained for Miles Poindexter, the Populist demagogue, to take advantage of his presence at the meeting, which was by sufferance, to abuse the confidence of the young men and in a long political self-tirade and demonstrate that he is not only a political demagogue, but totally devoid of those qualities characteristic of a gentleman. By prearrangement of which Poindexter was cognizant a host of Poindexter howlers packed the center of the theatre and not only made asses of themselves at his appearance, but tried to disturb others that spoke. That Poindexter was thoroughly cognizant of the Populistic programme was shown by him being able to control his howling hyenas by a mere waive of his hand. So obstreperous did some of his clackers become that a police officer was forced to warn them to keep still or be put out of the house. Any one who will accept an invitation to another's house and then insult the host is not only not a gentleman, but a vulgar blackguard. It was right and proper for the club to invite Mr. Poindexter to the meeting and it was also right and proper that he either decline the invitation or act at the meeting as he would have had a similar courtesy been extended him to visit a private home. Miles Poindexter, however, was smarting under the rebuke administered to him by the Republicans at the Tacoma convention, which he was too cowardly to attend and took that opportunity to hit back. If it be true that God hates a dirty coward, He must hate Miles Poindexter to the extent of thinking hell too good to consign his soul to. 6 TWICE TOLD TALES "What do you do when a tire bursts, Cholly?"

"Yes, I heard him in Berlin thirteer years ago. - Cleveland Leader. SENTENCE SERMONS The noblest duty is the nearest one. None ever regretted burying a slander. The outcome of ingrowing piety is pain for every one. It takes more than public generosity to correct private greed. No one gets far in love's lesson without learning to hate heartily. Side stepping duty will give you plenty of exercise, but no strength. When a man is good because it pays he may be judged by his motives. Explaining the commandments is a common way of evading them. The sins that are proud of being little are worth a lot of pain to kill. Do your duty and your spirit of devotion will develop itself all right. Almost any kind of iniquity will hide under the alias of conscientiousness. Some men think that they are almost good because they are afraid to be very bad. NOTICE OF SHERIFF'S SALE OF REAL ESTATE.

AMUSEMENTS Manager Russell of the Seattle Theater announced to the audience last Sunday that the favorite company now playing there would close the latter part of August. It was during the intermission between acts of the "River Pirates," and it fell like a pall on the auditors, because the company at the Seattle Theater have become the greatest favorites with the clinentele that any company ever scored since Seattle became a city. In the play the "River Pirates" this week they appear to splendid advantage, and the play seems to be just the kind of a melodrama that a large number of people admire. II deals with the operation of a band of outlaws lead by unscruplous individual, who masqurades as a gentleman in high social life. He makes love to the daughter of a big shipping merchant, then threatens to blacken her character unless she will become the instrument to rob her father and marry the villain.

The girl is befriended by a faithful poor girl, who, with the assistance of an Irishman and a Dutchman and a brave admirer, foils the villains at almost every turn. The play is one of the most strenuous and exciting offered at the Seattle Theater this season. It continues until Saturday night. Next week, the company will produce for the first time here in several years, another strikingly realistic melodrama, filled with thrilling situations and some of the best acting parts of any play the company has offered. The title is "Just Before Dawn." Among the scenes is one in the dark between the two principal villains of the play. "Just Before Dawn" made a great hit at the old Third Avenue Theatre, when produced here several years ago. It is the first one of Lincoln J. Carter's thrillers to be seen here this season, and it goes without saying that the big stock company at the Seattle Theater will give it a production that will remain a memorial in the theatrical annals of this season.

Rainier PALE BEER 5 ITEMS OF INTEREST The full name of the Dowager Queen of today is Alexandra Caroline Mary Charlotte Louisa Julia. She is a Princess of Denmark. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy has just passed her 90th mile stone, July 16th. Her health is very good indeed and she is in excellent spirits. Secretary of State Knox was chosen an honorary president of the fourth Pan-American conference which recently held its session in Buenos Ayres. Cleveland's street railway which has been operating on a three-cent-fare basis for the last three months report a deficit of $78,828. The directors have passed a resolution to borrow $250,-000 to meet pressing obligations. William S. Taylor, former governor of Kentucky, who fled to Indianapolis when indited for complicity in the murder of Wm. Gobel was recently arrested charged with assault and battery. The charge was unsustained and he was released without trial. The last Dowager Queen of England before the Dowager Alexandra was Queen Adelaide Louise Theresa Caroline Amelia, widow of Williym IV. He died on June 20, 1837, Queen Victoria succeeding him on the throne. The Dowager Queen lived until Dec. 2, 1840. Carper St. Germain of No. 720 Lynch St., N. Y., who has worked at a corking machine at a local brewery forty years and in that time has been retired on a life pension by his employer. He could cork 15,000 pint bottles on 12,000 quarts in a day. Mr. St. Germain is now sixty-four years old. The airship treaty between the United States and Mexico which has been for some months under consideration will most likely not be necessary because of the practical difficulty experienced by aviators in keeping their aeroplanes above ground in Mexico and the southern parts of the United States. Capt. Casper H. Conrad of the Quartermaster's department of the army has suggested a new method of marking horses in order to enable the war department to keep a record of them. His sceneme is to tattoo the number on the inside of the animal's lip. This system is in practice in the British army. Police Commissioner O'Keeffe of New York has planned to distribute thousands of fire alarm box keys to responsible persons who apply for them. He is convinced that the plan will facilitate the sending in of alarms and cut down fire losses. Keys have already been distributed to all the letter carriers and before long they will be in possession of the army of motormen and conductors on the rapid transit lines. Every key will unlock any box in the whole system and each key will be numbered and the name of its custodian recorded. WISE AND OTHERWISS Who knows but what our future arithmetics may yet contain questions similar to this: If a one dollar bill subjected to microscopic examination contains 92,000 germs what will one hundred dollar bills contain? Some of the recent fires in the West and Northwest had a depth of fifteen miles in some places. The jack and white pine thus destroyed in a few days cannot be replaced in half a century. No country is rich enough in its natural resources to stand such drains upon, it as are constantly made by forest fires in the United States and Canada. And the remedy has not yet presented itself. Married women in London are not now liable to the supertax chargeable on income over $25,000 a year but this is to be changed by an amendment which Chancellor or the Exchequer Lloyd George has promised to introduce into the budget. The American millionairesses who have married Englishmen will be up in arms about it. There are many who will have to pay very largely increased sums in income tax. The more the wealthy get the more they want and such an increase will be met with much dismay. A great evolutionist has recently emphasized the close relationship between man and the anthropoid apes, especially the gorilla and the chipanese. A comparison of the blood of man and the apes has shown affiliations that are not to be found in other animals. Man's development they claim began with emancipation from forest life. The erect attitude and the use of the hands followed. Being naturally a social animal gave great stimulus to his speech. The teeth gradually adapted themselves to eating functions only. The brain has grown in size and complexity with the evolution and use of the hand, but to a far greater extent with the development of speech and the consequent exchange of ideas. A writer of no small degree of importance who had witnessed arrests in such cities as New York, Chicago, St. Louis and San Francisco compares the treatment accorded to the rougher class of petty wrong doers in America with the methods of the police in London, (Whitechapel district), Paris, Berlin and even Constantinople during the revolution of 1908. He says there is no doubt but that the American policeman leads the world in his unnecessary use of the club. It is a well known fact that the treatment of prisoners arrested for felonies from whom the police wish to obtain evidence is brutal, while the American iniquity known as the "sweatbox," "the third degree," is a thing of which the nation should be ashamed. The suffragists of Brooklyn, New York, are flooding every grocery and delicatessen of any size which will accept them with paper bags on which is written a concise statement of their platform. It ends with this sentence: "Get a postal card, write on it, 'I believe in woman's suffrage,' sign your name and address and mail it to us." The scheme is working beautifully. The merchants are calling for more bags and the postal cards are coming in. A better plan to bring their cause before the average woman could not have been hit upon and nine women THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN out of ten will read the statement once just to see what it is while if it had been handed in at the front door the waste basket would most likely have caught it. Each order from the grocery renews the suggestion. Congressional Stationery The following is part of a list of things bought at public expense as "stationery" and supplied to members of Congress. It was recently copied from the official record by Arthur Street, and published under his name in the Sunset Magazine: "Playing cards, indluding whist and bridge sets; poker chips, pocketbooks and purses, shears and scissors, hand bags, suit cases. souvenir bags, vanity bags, pass cases, nail clips, files and brushes; manicure sets, safety sazors and extra blades, matches, wedding announcement cards, postcard albums, photograph evelopes, hunting knife, cuff cases, button box, glove stretcher, hand box, sewing box, shopping bag, cigar lighter, jewel case, ash tray, opera bags, quinine pills, listerine, peroxide of hydrogen, pepsin, smelling salts, soda tablets, trional, witch hazel, ammonia cough drops, antikamia. Jamaica ginger, vaseline, olive oil, coart plaster, rose extract, brilliantine, seidlitz powders, bromo seltzer, etc." Women,s taxes help top ay for these peculiar kind of "stationery" for members of Congress, whom the women have no choice in choosing.

It has required thousands of years to evolve a system of civil government for the purpose of defending the individual citizen, administering just punishment to the outlaw and protecting society; it requires but an hour for an infuriated, drunken mob to repudiate this heritage of the centuries and replace it with the barbatic code of the Jungle. Our system of laws, courts and administrative machinery represents the best thought of American and European statesmanship of all time; it embodies the highest intelligence and sound judgment of the greatest jurists of the world; it is, in fact, the acme of the entire science of jurisprudence from the days of the Mosaic code to the present hour. But, in the hands of a few brassknuckled outlaws at the head of a motley crowd of personal liberty advocates and representatives of personified ignorance, that system becomes a mockery to the very name of civilization. Recent events in Ohio and several other states of the Union indicate a tendency on the party of a certain lawless element to revive the customs of barbarism by the appeal to the mob spirit. This tendency is the natural result of the teachings of a false doctrine of personal liberty to the ignorant and prejudiced, who are being exploited for gain by the most crafty and unscrupulous foe to every sacred institution of which modern civilization boasts. So manifest in fact, has this spirit been of late that no citizen worthy to bear the name can longer remain neutral on this question, whatever his opinions may be regarding certain policies of the government in dealing with various perplexing problems. Society has suffered the evil results of lynch law too long. Leaders and promoters of the mob have gone unpunished too often. The time has come for public opinion to speak out on this question in such a way as no one will mistake the meaning. If our free institutions are to be preserved and the blessings of civil liberty are to be guaranteed to ourselves and our posterity, the spirit of anarchy as represented by the mob must die.

"Now see here, Abe," said he to the darky, "this boy of yours has been up in court so many times for stealing chickens that I'm tired of seeing him here." "Ah don't blame you, sah," returned the father. "Ah's tired seeing him, too." "Then why don't you teach him how to act? Show him the right way, and he won't be coming here."
