SENATORSHIP Presto change, now you see it and now you do not. Today you have it, but tomorrow you will not. For the above conditions, you Mr. Seattle Voter, have only yourself to blame. Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will have no other. In 1899 Seattle had an opportunity to form a combination with Spokane, which, perhaps, would have given the two cities the United States senatorships for more than a quarter of a century, but Seattle refused to take advantage of the opportunity because some of her business men were personally prejudiced to the Hon. John L. Wilson. In 1902 men looked upon Harold Preeton as too much anti-corporation to be sent as their representative to the senate, and so they helped to elect Levi Ankeny. Seattle could have never won the senatorship in 1906 had she not put up a railroad attorney and even with that he was in line for defeat until Charley Sweeney got cold feet and sold out to the railroads, getting, it is said, something like $100,000 to withdraw and turn his vote over to Piles. Long before Senator Piles' time was up he saw it would be utterly impossible for him to be re-elected and so he gracefully withdrew. It then became apparent to the leading men of Seattle that the Hon. John L. Wilson was the only Seattle man that could be elected, but that old time prejudice against him immediately put in its appearance, and it grew to such undue proportions under the fostering care of the alleged business men with the aid of the misrepresentations of the Daily Times until it forced the only man calling Seattle his home from the field that had a ghost of a chance of being elected. The alleged Seattle spirit got behind Thomas Burke and from the pre-election returns it looks as though it really got in front of him. So long as business men of experience fight sickly sentiment, just so long they will sow to the wind and reap a whirlwind, and that too, of the kind they reaped at the polls last Tuesday. It is conservatively estimated that Seattle spent nearly $200,000 in the recent primary election trying to elect a United States senator and yet the results at the polls would seem to indicate that she spent that much trying to prevent one from being elected. Splendid good men belong to the Ranier club of Seattle, but when they attempt to dictate to the Republican party of the state of Washington, who to nominate and elect to the United States senate or to any other office in the gift of the voters of the state, then they can put it in their pipe and smoke it that they are going to get set down on and set down on like a ton of brick. We do not say that Senator Wilson would have been elected had Judge Burke gotten out of the race, but we do say he would have gotten three to one votes over Burke. A DEMOCRAT AS A REPUBLICAN Now that Judge Thomas Burke, who became a Republican at the eleventh hour, because a big, fat, juicy political plum hung temptingly from the Republican garden, has been ignominiously defeated and carrying with it some $200,000 of his dough, we suspect that he will as suddenly return to the Democratic party and go on advocating free trade as he has for the past forty years or more. In Miles Poindexter the Repub- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1910 cans were being administered a bad enough dose of sugar coated Democracy, but in Thomas Burke it was so bad that it was actually neauseating. Just think of a man of the life long political faith of Thomas Burke, backed by a man of the political idosyncrasies of Alden J. Blethen and his foul mouthed paper, the Daily Times, forcing a life-long Republican, with the leading Republican daily paper of the Northwest at his command, off the Republican track and you have a coincident such as never before happened in the history of the Republican party. Every Republican that was not a member of the Ranier club or not on the pay roll of the Burke Senatorial Club after the Tacoma convention was thoroughly convinced that Judge Burke had no more show of being elected United States senator than did a Comanche Indian. Of course the Times and the Argus boosted for Burke both in and out of season and because they were paid fabulous sums of money for doing so, but they knew and knew full well that he was too badly tainted with the sins of Democracy to ever be elected in a state like Washington, but with them it was, "the public be damned, just so we get the money." Without exaggeration it is conservatively estimated that Judge Burke and those interested in his campaign spent $200,000 in trying to have him nominated and yet he is third man in the race. The same amount of money and energy would have elected John L. Wilson hands down and even would have made a great bold stagger towards electing John E. Humphries. A half a loaf is always better that no loaf and if the business men of Seattle had have acted along those lines they might have nominated a Seattle man to the the senate last Tuesday. Wilson had the outside strength and with a united front for him he stood a good chance of carrying King county and thereby being nominated. Even Miles Poindexter declared that the strong man had been pulled off and the weak one left, and up to the withdrawal of Wilson Poindexter directed his efforts against Wilson and paid no attention to Burke, because he found no Burke senitment only in King county. The withdrawal of Wilson was plain to be seen, meant the overwhelming election of Poindexter. It is not argued here that even on a straight fight between Wilson and Poindexter with King county making an honest fight for Wilson, that he, Wilson, could have won, because the country just now seems to be in an insurgent mood and stand-pat Republicans are not very much in public favor, but it is argued, that the sentimental support that King county gave a Democrat over a Republican of the same county, but added fuel to the flame that so completely enveloped Thomas Burke at last Tuesday's primary election. But its all ended now and we hope the experience of the past will serve as splendid lessons for shaping of the future. EDITORIAL EDICTS Even the Republicans of Maine now realize that its a long lane that has no turn. T. R.'s clothes may not fit Poindexter very well, but it occurs to us that John L. Wilson's do. "Public Idols Do Not Last," says a head line. If there is any truth in the remark, it looks bad for Teddy. If "wet" should suddenly come over Maine after thirty years of continuous drouth a disastrous inundation would follow. With Colonel Blethen directing the political destinies of Seattle her brilliant successes last Tuesday can be fully accounted for. There is one hill in the state of Washington that even the politicians do not seem able to cut down and Sam Hill seems to know it. The federal grand jury sitting at Chicago indicted ten of the big meat packers last Tuesday and another rise in meat may be looked for. "How To Increase Our Trade," is the caption of a well written article. A good way to increase our trade in the foreign markets is to sell reasonable in order to get the trade and then continue to sell reasonable in order to hold the trade. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 UBLICAN 1910 VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 16 Bob Moran, of Seattle ship building fame now of Orcas island, is advocating Poindexter for United States senator, evidently Bob has lost most of his old time Seattle spirit. The Insurgents may be losing ground as suggests a leading eastern weekly, but if they are the election returns from the different states that have voted on the issue do not indicate as much. While the disease of insurgery is epidemical in Republican camps just now, nevertheless there are some very violent cases of it among the Democrats and notably among those reported is that of William Jennings Bryan. As to complexion, we believe Governor Hay is absolutely correct of Secretary Ballinger being, "as white a man as the United States can boast of," but as to his dealings with the coal lands of Alaska public opinion seems badly divided. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt arrived at Sagamore Hill Sunday morning, thus completing his long western tour, which went as far as Cheyenne. He made many speeches while out and greatly strengthened the cause of the Insurgents. George W. Fitzgerald, long suspected of having stolen the $173,000 from the sub-treasury at Chicago, was arrested last Wednesday charged with the crime. It is thought that sufficient evidence to convict is in the hands of the government's attorney. Secretary Ballinger says under no circumstances will he resign and that he intends to stand firmly by the president. It has always been known that Dick Ballinger was full of bull dog tenacity, but it had never been thought that he was likewise full of irony. Loud C. Griscom of New York says he is certain Colonel Roosevelt will win the chairmanship of the state convention and the friends of Vice President Sherman are preparing to give battle. It will be one of the hottest scraps of the season and it matters not what the outcome is, it will result in the defeat of the Republican party at the November election. United States Senator Wm. Lorimer, of Illinois, who is under fire for having bought his way in the senate, has resigned his membership in the Hamilton Club of Chicago, which was brought about by Colonel Roosevelt refusing to visit the club and attend a banquet on account of Lorimer being a member and being present. Father Bernard Vaughn, a delegate to the Eucharistic congress at Montreal, predicted that the Catholics would sooner or later rule America because Catholic mothers bore children. If bearing children is a sign of who will be the future rulers of America, whether Catholics or Protestants in religion is not known, but the future rulers of America will be the Negroes. William J. Loeb Jr., is shaking up the smugglers of the "400" as they never have been before and as a result many of them have been embarassed at the customs office, not only embarassed, but even humiliated. Mr. Loeb has made it clear to the public that, the rich people of the United States will cheat, lie and steal and even spend more than they save in trying to dodge the cuatom officers. When D. H. Woolf, of Kansas City, became a nervous wreck on account of his too close application to musical composition he took the walk cure instead of the medicine cure as do so many persons. He and his wife set out on a long trump and walked from Kansas City to New York, a distance of two thousand miles. They slept in the open air every night but six. They began the trip the 2nd of May and it ended the 15th of August. James Patten, a one time Chicago pit dealer, out of which he made a fabulous fortune, thinks the world is sadly in need of a substitute for wheat, out of which a substitute for wheat bread could be made and utilized. We believe it was Mr. Patten that repeatedly cornered the wheat market and he is doubtless now weeping for more worlds of human necessities to corner. If Mr. Patten had have been lynched the next day after he cornered the wheat market the world would have been a thousand times better off and would not need a wheat substitute. --- CURRENT COMMENT Alaska Thieves Get The Gold bed of gold bullion to the value of $57,000 and no trace of the thieves has been found. In fact the company was not aware that the strong box had been tampered with until it reached the government assay office in Seattle, when it was discovered that the gold had been extracted and lead put in its place. Just how a thief could secrete himself away on a steam boat and at the same time take aboard great bars of lead and at some opportune time rob the strong box and then go ashore with the gold in his possession without being discovered is more than even the average thief can figure out and those not versed in the profession do not believe it can be done. The trick has ever appearance of having been turned by some one on the inside instead of by a knight of the jimmy looking for loot. If as goes Maine so goes the country, then the United States is in line to have Democrats administering her affairs from Congress to constable, but despite the fact that Maine broke all previous records and went Republicans Lose State of Maine hell bent for Democracy, electing the entire state administration, the three Congressmen and the likewise a legislature that will elect a Democrat to the United States senate, yet it is not thought the same fatal results to Republicanism will happen in those states that have had a try out of the direct primary law. Almost a blind man can see corruption has become so common among the Stand-pat Republicans that nothing short of an Insurgent lambasting at the primaries or an old-fashioned Democratic walloping at the polls could clear the old ship of state of the barnacles that have attached themselves to her hulk on account of long and continuous service. Maine, owing to the fact the Stand-patters still controlled the Republican party, would not stand for the adoption of the direct primary law, hence the people had no other recourse save to drub the party at the general election for both its sins of omission as well as sins of commission. Because a man had forged a check and was trying to pass it on a saloon man, who smelled a mouse, and while he and the chap went Common Sense vs. City Policemen be trapped made a break for more room prompted the policeman not only to follow in hot pursuit but to actually pull his revolver and begin shooting at his man as he ran down the crowded thoroughfare, and might have wounded or killed a dozen human beings. The policeman got his man, but such reckless use of fire aams on the part of an officer should result in his immediate discharge from the force. Lest a bad check man get away the policeman jeopardized the lives of a number of persons even when the saloon man had not lost a cent by the transaction. It would be awful for the saloon man to lose a cent of money and that may have been the cause of the minion of the law jeopardizing so many human lives. ran for a county office last but spent more money seeking the office than he can possibly earn by honestly holding the office the first year he is elected, and then add to the amount the candidate spent for himself the amount his friends spent for him and more by far than the office will pay the two years he holds it was expended in the interest of his candidacy. Under such circumstances how can a man elected to office be expected to do the square thing by the tax payers. All men elected to county offices do not become grafters and public looters, but it is hard to figure out how a man can run for an office and spend the salary of the two years he is in office trying to be nominated and elected and still make a living. Slush funds are collected in the interest of candidates and knowing the American people as well as the most of us do, it is foolhardy to think they are putting up large sums of money in campaigns for patriotic purposes. Even after elected the office holder is the legitimate prey of --- every grafter and blood sucker that comes along and he always stands for it, which must mean that he has other ways while in office to get money besides the salary that is paid him. It is rather significant that the new state of Arizona should elect a majority of the delegates to her constitutional convention Democrats Capture from the Democratic party. State of Arizona Arizona is distinctively a western state and made up of men from the North rather than from the South and there is no excuse for it going Democratic, but the new state started out at an inauspicious time, that is when Irsurgency was at its highest, and the citizens thereof not being able to purge the Republican party of Interest barnacles could do nothing else except elect Democrats to office. But it is a fact that the whole country is in a restless state and a right about face all over the civilized portions of the United States may be looked for, "civilized portions" is used advisedly, because no one in the North has never as yet charged the South with being civilized and if it has been so charged, it has not been found guilty thereof. Samuel Hill's offer to build a permanent road from Blaine to Vancouver by way of Bellingham, Everett, Seattle and Tacoma, thence Samuel Hill's Scheme Endorsed is one of the greatest proposals ever made by an individual for the everlasting benefit to the public. We are pleased and gratified to recognize Mr. Hill's enthusiasm in the good roads movement for which he has spent valuable time and money, but in this munificent offer he asks to appropriate hundreds of thousands of dollars from his personal funds which seems almost beyond the limit of his great generosity. There is no selfish motive connected with this generous offer, for that which he has already done will place his name in history among the greatest benefactors of good roads building in the United States. The counties should lend every possible assistance to Mr. Hill in this, his greatest work. -Davenport Tribune. Throughout the United States there may be a sharp controverse on between the Insurgent and Stand-pat Iusurgeut Republicans But Not Democrats result in Republicans electing Democrats to office. It will be found, after the idees of next November, that there will be no more real Democrats in Congress than at present. The primary law was brought about for Republicans and Democrats to settle their troubles within their respective parties and it is not without good results. The recent state elections in Vermont and New Hampshire and the Maine elections last Monday, which gave large Democralic majorities for all state officers, demonstrates that Republicans are both Insurgents and even Democrats. That there was excuse for the upheaval in Republican circles a great majority of the Republicans all over the country verily believe, but when Aldrich, Cannon and the other Interest leaders have been driven from the party leadership then insurgency will have fulfilled its mission. It is utterly impossible for one to listen to the burning eloquence of Dr. M. C. B. Mason, secretary of the Freedmen's Aid of the Metho- Man Differs Only In Complexion of the renowned poet, who declared, "the only true study of man is man." To argue that this or the other race is not capable of the same degree of mental expansion and development as is the Anglo-Saxon, and especially the Normandy stock, is assuming the wisdom of the Almighty, which no man is capable of doing. Dr. Mason, born of slave parents and they the descendants of African heathen, before he reaches his fiftietl. milestone in life becomes the unquestioned pulpit orator and logician of the great Methodist connection, of which he is a member. Drop a curtain in front of Dr. Mason as he speaks and the most cultured and effete congregation in Anglo-Saxon circles would, owing to his diction, eloquence and profundity of thought, pronounce him a pulpit Demonsthenes. But as in Dr. Mason so in a hundred and other instances is the black man demonstrating that he is as capable of mental and moral expansion as his more favored Anglo-Saxon brethren. Man, whether white, . FRIDAY September 16, 1910 black, red, yellow or brown, like the soil, only produces when properly cultivated, and his only difference from his fellow man is his complexion and environments. Miss Edna Bailey, of Patchogue, Suffolks county, New York, daughter of former senator Edwin Bailey, Jr., who introduced the first auto bill in the legislature, has applied for a chauffer's license. Miss Bailey is eighteen, and has driven upwards of 5,000 miles. Hers is the fourth application from women for license, and these are doubtless only fore runners of what will be a general custom before many years have passed. The attending conditions which regulate auto driving make it a promising and profitable field for women viewed from a financial standpoint, while women of the wealthier class who drive their own machines have thoroughly demonstrated the fact that women drivers would be a success in that line of employment. Especially would this be so in and near towns where help could be secured from public garages on very short notice. President William Howard Taft has practically allied himself with the Progressives and in the future the senators and representatives will have their say as to the public patronage the same as the regulars. The announcement that Taft had become a Progressive came like a thunder clap from a clear sky to the regulars and Chairman Woodruff could hardly believe his eyes and ears. Caleb Powers of Kentucky, thrice convicted to die on the gallows for the murder of Gov. Goebel, and each time the judgment of the lower court being reversed by the higher court, and who finally pardoned of the charge by Gov. Bradley, has been nominated by the Republican Progressives of his congressional district in Kentucky for representative in Congress. Mr. Powers at the time he was arrested for the murder of Gov. Goebel, was secretary of state, and was confined something like ten years in the county jail, either awaiting a new trial or supreme court reviews. He is, to say the least, a most remarkable man, and it is the concensus of opinion that he was not guilty of the crime, and that he will be vindicated by being elected to the position he now aspires, and for which he has received his party endorsement. Mayor Gill has gone to Alaska on a hunting trip, Chief Wappenstein has gone to California on a pleasure Vandeveer is with Mr. Gill on his trip, and rumor has it, on a resignation trip; Prosecuting Attorney annual hunting tournament and Sheriff Hodge, taking advantage of the big ones being out of the city, raided her gambling dives last Thursday night, and as a result, some 70 odd lawbreakers now rest in durance vile. It is alleged that gambling was thrown wide open no sooner than the mayor and the chief left the city, and that is why the raid was made, but there is not a word of truth in the statement, for gambling has been running wide open ever since Hiram C. Gill took his seat as mayor of Seattle and, if the law was obeyed as it has been written in the books, not only the gamblers, but the mayor and the chief of the police would likewise be indicted, for they are guilty of the crime of public garnbling after the fact. It was quite a coincident that the gambling raids should have been made the same time the P.-I. turned Progressive, and unless the signs of the time deceive, gambling has seen its palmy days in Seattle. What do you think of the Post-Intelligencer going Independent in politics? Well, that is just what it has an. P.I. BECOMES announced that it would do and it POLITICALLY began last Friday, and in proof of INDEPENDENT. that, it practically endorsed the Hon. Miles Poindexter, the successful candidate at the polls last Tuesday for United States senator. The P.-I. for years has had leanings in that direction and the strange thing is that it did not go with the Insurgents at the very beginning. This leaves but one stand-pat Republican morning daily paper in the state—the Tacoma Ledger. The Interests of the country have become so aggressive and, it might be added, oppressive, so far as the common people are concerned, that it is high time some of the leading daily papers, whose owners possess a drop of the milk of human kindness rise up and speak out in meeting in the interest of the working man. Had not the chief owner of P.-I. been a candidate for United States senator, Seattle would not now have the disgraceful administration that she has, nor would graft be running rampant in the city as it is.

MAKING MONEY OUT OF SEATTLE REGRADES 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' affidavits, and THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN takes cases that he has not the time to look the paper over every the lead. In this day of busy, bustling activity, the lawyer's time is so much absorbed in the preparation of his voluminous 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 or calls the lawyer's attention to them before going to press 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 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 307 Epler Block Phone Main 305 Seattle - - Washington 4 Of course it is pessimistic and even populistic to advocate or even think there has been any crooked work about the city hall of Seattle in the letting of the hundred and one regrade contracts, and he or she who advocates such nefarious doctrines does so without any foundation for the same save his own distorted brain, and yet when you examine into certain things it is utterly impossible to see how they could have gone as they did without some one receiving a graft therefor and a graft of enormous size. Listen to the history of the contract for the regrading of Greenwood street. The city engineers's office was called upon to furnish estimates for the work and the duty was assigned to J. C. Jeffrey, who at the time was a high salaried employee of the city engineer's office. After weeks' surveying and office work he finally reached the conclusion that, the cheapest the work could be done for was 58 cents a cubic yard and that figure was put up to the property holders along that thoroughfare. As soon as they thoroughly understood the details a howl like unto the roar of seven claps of thunder went up and a determined effort was put on foot to fight it. But did they fight it? Not much, and all because Councilman Murphy and Assistant Engineer Jeffrey took days and weeks of their valuable time, for which they were paid splendid salaries by the city, and canvassed the entire district and talked with all of the property holders for the purpose of convincing them that the estimate was a conservative one and that it was the only possible way of getting the street regraded. One by one the property holders began to sign up for the regarde and then the one was played off against the other until finally a majority, if not all of them, had signed for the regrade of the street at the estimated figure. It was a great victory for the engineer and the city should have congratulated herself for having such an efficient assistant city engineer and councilman as Mr. Jeffrey and Mr. Murphy. But there was a hidden hand that was turning a wheel in a wheel and a glimpse at that will now be given. The property holders had no sooner been convinced that they were really getting something for nothing and the council ready to let the contract than did that able efficient and worthy Asssistant City Engineer Jeffrey resign and form a partnership with one Holt to go into the contracting business of regrading the streets of Seattle. Just how it all happened it is hard for an outsider to say, but Jeffrey got the contract and not having yet made any great amount of money he thought he would not undertake any actual work at that time, so he sold a part of his contract rights to another firm. Without striking a blow or without the investment of a single dollar he transferred his rights to the other fellow and was given the snug sum of something like $56,000 for his equity. At one fell swoop this engineer, who had been working for $200 per month and even less, was able to turn a trick, which, if he did not have to cut it up with others, would have made him absolutely independent for life. Yes, of course it was on the square and in the open, but you must admit, it does not look like it. Strange, is it not, that the engineer for the city should take it on to himself to go with the councilman of the same district to persuade the property holders to accept the figure of the same engineer and as soon as that was accomplished the council let the contract to the self same engineer? Strange, is it not, that the engineer, who was working for the city and paid a big salary, made his estimates so that one man could take the contract for one figure and then sublet it and make a comfortable fortune out of it, and at the same time the man actually doing the contract make a handsome profit? If the interest of the city had have been looked out for the first profit would have been cut out and only the second would have been possible. It may have been all on the square and in the open, but you must admit, it does not look like it. Strange, is it not, that only certain contractors are able to get a line on the regrade contracts of Seattle and despite the fact those contracts are let to the lowest and best bidder, the contractors, are able to realize multiplied thousands of dollars out of the same? If no one connected with the city government is in collusion with the contractors then it is plain to be seen that all of the contractors of the city are in collusion with themselves and the enormous profits that are being realized out of the regrade contracts are being cut up among themselves. It would be a hundred times better for the tax payers, if the city would do the work herself or find some one else to let the contracts to besides Holt & Jeffrey. It is absolutely impossible for a man to take a contract at a legitimate figure from a municipality and sublet such NEY OUT OF SEATTL contract so as to make for himself $56,000 and still the man actually doing the work also makes a handsome profit without the tax payers getting robbed. Do you believe that if the city of Seattle was getting a square deal it would be possible for the contractors to realize in profits almost a million dollars for building the Lake Union boulevard? If the profits in the job run into the millions, then, in heaven's name, what will the whole work cost? It is hard enough for the tax payers to pay the actual cost of such work to say nothing of a million dollars profit. The Tax Payers' League is fighting today to keep the tax levy down and it may be able to do so, it will verily do so, but if the property holders are robbed by the regrade contracts wny keep it down? The tax levy report may look good to the uninitiated, but the man who has to dig up for his city improvements twice its actual cost realizes that to own property in Seattle is no good thing unless you can soon dispose of it to some other sucker. Is there a fine Italian hand at work in the letting of the regrade contracts? WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING BY MAYOR GAYNOR We have also a large number of so-called "leading" citizens who call themselves reformers as each election draws near, and talk reform, although they never do any, and whose object it is to see that at all hazards no real reformer be nominated or elected for mayor. They are men whose object it is to control the city government for their own advantage. They are ever on the alert for franchises and privileges, to sell lands and tumble down properties to the city at --- several times their actual value, and are in all large city enterprises as contractors or furnishers of material, openly some times, but generally under cover of other names They haunt newspaper offices and seek to deceive honest men of the community by inspired articles. Of all the elements in our city politics this is the most pernicious. They get a million dollars out the city dishonestly while the "boss" gets a thousand, and secretly share with bosses. The misleading of genuine reform movements which spring from the intelligent, honest and sincere community, is a chief business with them, and they generally succeed. The usual way is to "appoint" a committee of one hundred to take charge after the movement has gotten under full headway. Who the actual appointers are is observed by very few. They do not show themselves; but if you are observant enough, you may see them peeking out from behind the backs of their appointees. This committee in turn forms an executive committee of a small number, and in this executive committee the reform becomes locked fast, and its direction and fate are settled. The people all along may have had their minds centered on some honest and competent men whom thep wanted to nominate and elect, but from this time on these are carefully excluded by the committee. Some good, safe, sane and incompetent man is nominated, and, it may be, elected. He goes into office with the high hopes of the community, but turns out to be a failure, and every hon est voter soon perceives that he is duped. When the people can be fooled in this way, you cannot blame some of them if they are ready next time to follow some miserable scamp or demagogue, who cares nothing for the city. and will assist no one in giving it good government, having nothing in view but his own laudation and his selfish purposes. FRIDAY September 16, 1910 FRIDAY September 16, 1910 SOME BIG THINGS The tallest monument is the Washington obelisk, 555 feet high; but the largest monolith is in Karnak, Egypt, being 106 feet high. -The highest chimney, measuring 474 feet, is in Glas- gow. The largest aqueduct in use is the Croton, of New York, which is 38 miles long, but the longest ever built is in Peru, 360 miles in length. . The deepest coal mine is near Lambert, Belgium, 3,500 feet deep; the biggest dock is at Car- diff, Wales; and the strongest electric light is at the Sydney light house, Australia; while the largest lighthouse is at Cape Henry, Virginia, being 165 feet high and 8 feet thick. The greatest band is the Bank of England, in London; the oldest college is University College, Oxford; founded in 1050; the largest library, the National in Paris, containing nearly three million volumes. The largest theater is the Paris Opera House, covering three acres; the larg- est bronze statute, that of Peter the Great, in St. Petesburg, weigeing 1,100 tons. The big- gest stone statue is in Japan, 44 feet high; the largest college is in Cairo, with over 10,000 stud- ents and 310 teachers. Damas- cus has the honor of being the oldest city. The most costly book in the world is a Hebrew Bible, owned by the German government, which a few years ago refused the Pope’s offer of $125,000 for it. The most costly medicine a few years ago was metallic galli- um which seld for $150,000 a pound; but radium is now the priceless gem of the medical world, selling for more than that price an ounce. A man would have te be exceedingly ill befroe sending for such a prescription, even though he were a million- aire. Though orchids frequently bring prieces that make the poor man stagger, the highest price for a single flower was given for a tulip in Amsterdam by an en- thusiast, who paid $250,000 for it. The Rothchilds smoke the most costly cigars that are made —the Henry Clay Sobranos, which cost $1.50 each. These are wrapped in gold leaf and packed in little inlaid cedar-wood cabinets. —Harper’s Weekly. ITEMS OF INTEREST Two reforms in the world of thought have begun to make themselves known and felt in the worid of action. The cry of the times used to be preparation for death and the world to come, now people are seeking to learn how to live right believing that to live right insures dying right. Again the time has been that men and women eighty or ninety years of age calmly sat down in waiting for the call to come. Now they are still trying to bet- ter their lives, meanwhile invest- ing their time and means in bus- iness transactions asif they were to live forever. Paris has had an innovation, even for Paris in the way of an automobile funeral where in the fearse and all of the carriages were gasoline driven, Many of ITEMS MORE OR LESS INTERESTING the good Parisians were scandal- ized on account of the rapidity with which the procession moved. Such should not shock any one; we are living in an age which simply has not got the time to spare. For the living or dead the time is wanting. It is said that the Formosan aborigines, whom Japan is striv- ing to subdue and who are cred: ited with being excellent marks- men, are childishly superstitious and worship the monkey and the moon. In America, only the younger set and a few old bald heads care a fig about the moon but when it comes to that word “monkey”? why we just strike that one letter ‘‘k’’ out and men and women fall down before it and worship it good and hard. The application of Joseph Allen a wealty retired farmer of West Chester, Ohio, aged 88 years, for enlistment in the navy, which was declined, may have beena great disappointment to the am- bitius old man but it may also serve to open his eyes to the fact that the poor he has always with him and that many noble deeds of sacrifice do not necessitate leav- ing home to sail upon the waters or fight upon the lands. Los Angeles, Cal., has under consideration the appointment of Mrs. Alice Stebbins Wells, as a policewoman. Her work will be chiefly where young women gather for entertainment; in parks, penny arcades, moving picture shows and dance halls. Through the proprietors of such places she will see that the laws are obeyed and that the places are kept clean and moral. AMUSEMENTS The play at the Alhambra Theatre next week will introduce Passie Mae Lester, the new lead- ing lady, in ‘‘The Cowboy and the Thief,” quite as vivid a pict- ure of western ranch life as some of the scenes in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, but con- taining a beautiful and well told love story, in which Corbett Morris will act the cowboy lover, and Miss Lester his finance, Marie. Edward Kelly has a great character part in next week’s play, and O. M. William- son will be called upon to furnish the villianeous scoundrel, in this case he is a Mexican. ‘‘The Cowboy and the Thief’’ is a good melodrama, and the Russell & Drew Company, the best melo- dramatic band of playing in the West. Edward Flynn, a 76-year-old hermit who lives in Cincinnatti, Ohio, has a horse which is 17 yrs. old and has never been out of the stable in which it was born. The humane officers now have himin charge. His case is one out ef tune with humanity for mankind is by nature a social being, yet it serves to demon- strate a fact that has caused much unhappiness. We are too much inclined to believe what pleases'us should delight the oteer tellow and in maey cases spend much of our lives in vainly striving to make him over in ac- cord with ourselves. POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS Has any one hereseen Tommy? Who hit Billy (Humphrey) Pat- terson? Griffith got hooked in the Gill. George Jeffries couldn’t come back. Ghent has tuberculosis on the brain.

My, but some of our Americans will begin to feel at home in that part of the moral vineyord pretty soon. The newspaper men at least ought to be giatefui to both Jef- fries and Johnson for before and after space they have taken in their columns. And the long suffering public—well, it’s got to have something to chew on. A prominent official of the Chinese Embassy announces that it is proposed to remodel the po- lice system in China, To that end Lieu Chai, a high official in the Chinese police department, has recently spent some time in England studying the police methods in Scotland Yards. Stephen tox, near Big Rapids, Mich., who had saved $350 which he hid in an old shoe is now out just that much as Mrs. box think- ing the shoe worthless burnt the same. Stephen should have trusted the bink, or as few men do—his wife, but never mind he’ll know better next time. Whatever may have been Florence Nightingal.’s private opinion of the regard in which she was.held hy those engaged in work for the causes to which she gave so freely and fully, could she have witnessed in per- son the floral offerings, the ten- dei tributes from hospitals and from royalty, and the general military demonstration s1.e would haye felt her time well given, her life well spent. Joveph Welch aged 92, of West Lebanon near Wooster, Ohio, has been served with di- yorce summons by Mrs. Priscilla Welch who is 88 years of age. That ought to do away with the theory that young persons should not get married because they are not old enough to get on well to- gether. Mrs, Welch avers that her husband has been guilty of cruelty. Unlike human beings the older that word ‘‘ cruelty ”” grows the more elastic it be- comes, A weird story comes from Con. stantinople to the effect that in order to keep state secrets the cabinet council of the Turkish government employs deaf and dumb attendants. If such a pro- ceeding did not necessitate a working acquaintance with the deaf and dumb alphabet there are times in America when deaf and dumb attendants as office help in general could be classed among the most desirables. Mr. and Mrs. William Lands- down, well todo farmers, located three miles northeast of Fort Lupton, Col., are living in ac- cord with Biblical teachings. The Satbath is kept holy even to the strictness of the old Hew- brew customs. To thus disre- gard the advance of time and the attending changes in the condition of the affairs of man, certainly gives this family unique distinction, However, one of the happiest eafthly arrange- ments is, that one may live his life as pleases him best so long as he does not interfere with the rights of his neighbor. Jack Robinson at Hunter’s Hot Springs, Mont., who is known as the ugliest man in Montana is advertising for a wife. Among other things she must be between 18 and 21 years of age, fond of ranch life and willing to follow him over the plains. His idea is in keeping with the general run of men. Itis actually nauaeat- ing to hear many men tell of the requirements, which women must meet in order to become their wives. Maybe, some day, mothers will be able to drill a little more sense into, and drive a great deal of nonsense out of their sons’ heads. ITEMS MORE OR LESS IN- TERESTING The present rate for speaking to France from London by phone is two dollars for three minutes and yet there are persons who tell us talk is cheap. A woman who had been blind for eleven years was accidentally struck a stinging blow by her husband just over her right eye. She was much surprised the next morning to find that she could see wellout of her righteye. It was a case where turning the other side would have been ad- visable. A man who lives in a hand- some house in Chicago has sued his wife for a divorce on the grounds that they have too many children—four in all. ‘I don’t like brats hanging to my skirts,”’ hesays That may be what he says, but a closer inspection into his daily life would reveal the “nigger in the wood pile.”” The tuberculosis cure has abuut reached the speculative stage. All kinds of sure cure treatments are being advanced and men of meansare organizing demonstration stations and em- ploying staff's of physicians with resident consultants. Of course there are honest institutions but these fake speculators are alive and they must have a business of some kind. The demands of the times, the prevailing malady and the crying needs are what they thrive on best. A wealthy woman has had her deceased monkey buried in a cof- fin on wkich was a silver plate bearing a tender inscription. But recently we read of a dear little Fido who was put away ina similar manner, If this idea of immortalizing pets keeps up we will be at a loss to know, as we walk with silent tread among the graves of the departed, whether “In loving memory of my dear Jennie,” refers to a species of the genus homo, a dog, or a monkey. There is nothing like breaking the monotony of things. Just of how the areoplane is going to ease up suicidal affairs. Now the rejected swain need not seek firearms, the laudum bottle or the gas pipe, he needs but to be- come an aviator and silently fly away in search of fame er eit If he gains the former there is still a chance to make good with the girl; if the latter, he thought life not worth living without her any way andits what you think that really counts after all.

EDWARD VON TOBEL, Office and postoffice address, rooms 603-5 Mutual Life Bldg., Seattle, King County, Wash. Sert. 2, Oct. 15, 1910. METHODIST CHURCH WORKER AND BUILDER Rev. W. H. W. Rees, who, for the past five years, has been the pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Seattle, has perhaps done more in the way of church building than any other man in the Nortwest. When he became the pastor of the church it was practically without a home and only had $30,000 in the bank to begin the purchase of a new church edifice, which the congregation contemplated building. Almost from the very day Dr. Rees assumed the duties of pastor he plunged into the arduous task of raising money for the new edifice and while he was ably assisted by his members, he was always found on the firing line and the work went steadily on until, when he left for the annual conference one day this week, which is in session at Centralia, he was able to say, "the church debt has been completely wiped out and all of the church benevolences for the present conference year have been provided for." All told the new church has cost in the neighborhood of $250,000 and, as said above, all of that money has been raised during the five years that Dr. Rees was pastor of the church. Just how any one, who was cognizant of the work Dr. Reese has done since he was pastor of the church, could think other than well of him is more than any sane person could figure out and yet, it is said, that one or two members of the church always threw obstacles in the path way of the good work and instead of helping always hindered. Such Downey wolves in sheep's clothing should be expelled from the connection and so marked that they could never again get admission into the connection.

Edwards, deceased, having filed in this court his final account and petition setting forth that said estate is now in a condition to be closed and is ready for distribution of FRIDAY September 16. 1910 which have arisen in the preparation for, and building of our new church, have been years of perplexity and trial, and yet withal years of splendid fruitage in membership and spiritual life, and, "Whereas, Dr. Rees has suggested that the time has come when his relation as pastor of this church should cease, and if the Bishop so elect, will go to to another field of labor and usefulness, therefore be it "Resolved, That we, the members of the Quarterly Conference of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Seattle, do hereby tender our beloved pastor, Dr. Rees, our earnest, sincere thanks for his able ministry in preaching the Word, and for his untiring energy and faithful Christian work, which he has so well done for our church and city, and wherever he may go he will carry with him the love and best wishes of this people, and we will ever pray the Holy Spirit to give him abundant success in whatever field he may be called to labor." For many years Dr. Rees was secretary to the Freedman's Aid society of the Methodist Episcopal church and in that line of work was just as successful as he was in church building.
