When he returns to Seattle and learns that Sheriff Hodge has raided some of the notorious gambling dives in the city and arrested a large number of tin horn gamblers and has caused informations to be filed against the proprietors of those places charging them with being guilty of a felony; and to also learn that, Acting Mayor Wardall is in full sympathy with the clean up? It occurs to us in the light of the past that Mayor Gill will conclude that his was an expensive outing and that his political stock dropped a good many numbers on account of the mad rush of the bulls on to the bears. It is argued by some that Mayor Gill was hand in glove with the raid and went away in order that it could be made and on his return he could pay to his gambler friends, "it was done with out my knowledge or approval." But if that be true, Mayor Gill will come out of even that entanglement much the loser, for God hates a coward, and so does the human family. Mayor Gill contrary to law and order permitted red lighters to get busy the very day he became mayor of the city and they have been busy ever since, and that too, despite the fact, a feeble and pretended effort was made to close up gambling for campaign purposes. Even with the fear of Bob Hodge in the their hearts the gamblers are almost plying their nefarious games in the open today. A lecturer at the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday declared that he had walked undisturbed into a number of places, where gambling games were being conducted and no secrecy being made, and that, too, after Sheriff Hodge had made his raid. That the police make no more effort to close up gambling games and arrest the proprietors thereof on felony charges than they do grocery stores and grocery keepers or meat shops and their proprietors is an undeniable fact, and yet that in connection with guarding the gates of the army post is exactly what the police are hired for. Slowly but surely Seattle, under Mayor Gill, has been drifting back to the old Tom Humes days, and if Frank Griffith had been named prosecuting attorney of King county she surely would have been there before another six months rolled round. But a clean up and a clean out are in the air and the right-about-face may even entangle Hiram Charles Gill, mayor of Seattle though he be. TAFT AND TEDDY TOGETHER There is little reason to longer doubt that President William Howard Taft and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt have gotten together and unless some unforeseen breaker hoves in sight before the next presidential convention is pulled off that Roosevelt will be in line for Taft. In the mean time, however, Taft has got to get husy carrying out the Roosevelt policies, which placed him in the presidential chair. At a recent meeting between the president and the colonel the New York situations seem to have been gone over from stem to stern and Taft declared himself in hearty accord with Roosevelt, and said "Amen," to the cleaning out of the bosses, which leaves Vice President Sherman and his followers quite in the air. It is a foregone conclusion that Roosevelt will control the --- TTLE REPU SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1910 New York state convention and men of his liking will be nominated for the various state offices and the national administration and especially the Taft end of it will be endorsed. This seems to settle what gave evidence of developing into an ugly situation in the Republican party which has already cost the party a number of votes in Congress. The arguments advanced by the Argus of Seattle in the interest of Judge Burke prior to the primaries both read and sounded good and it seemed that the editor thereof for once in his life was making a square fight and was staying put, but the election passed off and Burke lost by an overwhelming majority, just as The Seattle Republican predicted that he would do after his return from the Tacoma convention, and that too, even if Wilson pulled out of the race. But the Argus was not a good loser and not having the Hon. John L. Wilson to kick at for beating Burke, and being of a nature that he had to kick somebody he turned loose on Burke himself. All it sa;d about Burke, however, was the gospel truth, but the question is, why did not the Argus talk that way prior to the holding of the primaries; yes, in the very beginning of the campaign? If it had, perhaps, a different story would have been written at the close of the primaries. The American people seem to be so constituted that the sight of the almighty dollar immediately brings on locomoter ataxia and nothing but the getting of the dollar will serve as a panacea for the trouble. If reports be true the editor of the Argus was shown a bunch of Burke boodle and he was at once attacked by the aforesaid disease and despite the fact he knew at the time all he subsequently published detrimental to Burke, he needed or wanted the money, and he lost sight of all the principles of right and justice and told his readers, what a nice man Burke was, and what a great man he would make in the senate, how the state of Washington would be proud of Burke in the senate and finally, that King county owed it to herself on account of Burke's valiant service in the interest of the county for nearly half a century to give him a solid vote. When, however, Burke had been defeated he sung a new song and declared in the Argus the very next issue that, he, Burke, had gotten just what he deserved for having repeatedly in the past been instrumental in defeating other aspirants for the senatorship from King county. The average reader now wonders at what time it was that the Argus prevaricated, before or after taking the direct primary dose. Rumor has it that the Argus got the biggest newspaper slice out of Burke's barrel with the exception of the Times. and it is said the slice was so big, owing to the liberality with other people's money of one Jim Agnew, that the editor of the Argus was himself thunderstruck when the check was handed to him. If the editor of the Argus accepted Burke's money to talk of him as he did prior to the election he is an ingrate and a blackleg to talk of Burke as he did after the election. If you get paid to tell a li and you tell it, then stick to it. In other words, "stay put" when you get your price. HAS WAPENSTEIN BEEN FIRED? Rumor has it that Charles W, Wapenstein, chief of the police of Seattle, has or will resign in the near future and that he will be succeeded by James P. Agnew, general factotum of the late Burke Senatorial campaign committee. There are those so unkind as to whisper about the city that Mr. Wapenstein has made a handsome fortune out of the gambling situation during the short time he has been chief of the police in Seattle and that he has been asked to resign on account of a row over the division of the spoils. Whether any part of the above story be true the writer verily doth not know, but it is being whispered and even bruited about the streets, but however corrupt Chief Wapenstein may have been, it would be a calamity to remove him and put in his shoes a man of the Jim Agnew stripe. He not only does not know anything about the police business, but it occurs to us it would be swapping the devil for the witch. - and Mr. This is the full amount with the difference. WHEN DID IT LIE? VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 17 THE BLACK BROTHERS BOILED A few days ago over in Spokane two Negro editors made a public exhibition of themselves by indulging in a personal encounter on the streets. For the past year or more they have made an exhibition of their respective papers by denouncing each other as thieves and moral lepers until it would seem their readers must have become utterly disgusted with both of the papers, and they capped the climax by fighting like two curs in the streets. There are no paliating circumstances on either side, they were both wrong and deserve the everlasting censure of the good people of Spokane, and that too, without regard to race or color. The men differed on politics, out of which neither of them has nor will get enough to pay even a police court fine, which they richly deserve, and they permitted their differences to run into personalities and finally into blows. Its the old, old story, when the Anglo-Saxon desires to see the Negroes torn to pieces, they endeavor to get strife stirred up among them, and that accomplished they know the Negroes themselves will do the rest. It reminds us of the get together meeting that was called and really did assemble among the warring factions in Ireland. They got together all right, but it took a large slice of the standing army of England to get them apart. If your contemporary publishes defamatory articles about you go to the prosecuting attorney and swear to a complaint against him and let the law punish him. If his editorials seem to get the ear of the public better than do yours, it is the survival of the fittest, and you must take your medicine. Both of the scrappers publish creditable weekly papers and there seems to be field enough for them both, and we see no reason why each cannot fill his peculiar field without so much as ever journalistically acknowledding the other is in existence. If there is danger in getting together then let each see to it that they get apart. SHOMO LOST HIS LICENSE When the city council refused to renew the license of Charles W. Shomo it did just what other city councils of Seattle should have done years ago. His places have always been the worst hell holes in and about Seattle and the man himself is from time to time mixed up in some of the most diabolical crimes reported to the police department of the city. A saloon is a tolerated evil and by no means a necessary evil as is some times argued, and when therefore, the proprietor of a saloon repeatedly breaks the law it is the duty of the authorities for the protection of society to deny such person the right to continue in such questionable business, Charley Shomo has a long and nasty record in Seattle and he must have had the officers and executors of the law completely hypnotized in order to be able to continue adding to his record. Some queer stunts, however, have been pulled off since both the mayor and the president of the council are absent from the city, and yet we cannot say that their absence has anything to do with the pulling off of these stunts. If, however, they will only stay away long enough, it begins to look as if the city will get pretty well cleaned up. The license of any saloon man that repeatedly breaks the law of the state as well as the city ordinances should be preemptorially taken from him and such persons should be black-listed for all time to come so far as that particular kind of business is concerned.

CURRENT COMMENT PERSONS IN THE PUBLIC EYE Caleb Powers has been nominated for Congress by the progressive Republicans, but his side partner, Governor Taylor, is still wallowing in the pools of Innocuous Desutude. The eyes of the world just now are on Theodore Roosevelt of presidential fame and Vice President Sherman, both of New York, watching to see which one of them will control the Republican state convention of New York. It is ten to one that Teddy turns the trick. L. S. J. Hunt, formerly a star in the politics of the state of Washington, and dictator of the King county politics, is now sojourning in South America trying to work out a scheme whereby he and others may perhaps control all of the South American republics. His son is in Colorado for his health, while his wife and daughter are in Washington City. Robert L. La Follett, United States senator from Wisconsin, who recently won a most signal victory over the standpat Republicans in his state, is said to be suffering from, perhaps a fatal ailment and may not be able to return to the senate. It is hoped that the report is an exaggeration and that he will be able to enjoy the fruits of his fight. Recently the state of Maine unveiled a statute of Thomas B. Reed, once her favorite son and the nation's foremost man. Mr. Reed was speaker of the house of representatives for a longer period than any one else, and once while speaker the Democrats became unruly and the Reed rules were enforced, which caused the Democrats to style him, "Czar Reed." His rules, however, have been used by every subsequent speaker. Rev. Dr. G. Campbelle Morgan, of England, stated at the conference of his church a few days ago, unless some of the preachers watched themselves they would let newspapers replace the bible. The preachers he declared read the newspapers before they do their bible and finding the newspaper more interesting than the bible it is perfectly natural. Herein lies a text for the publishers of newspapers to see to it that, their papers are regular, reliable, readable and straightforward. Sam Hill, the great good roads' king, once said, "I have had no higher ambition to leave as a heritage to EDUCATING NEGRO YOUTHS Here is a chapter from a recent contribution of Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee school for Colored youths, to the Columbian: One thousand four hundred and ninety-four students, besides 150 children in the Training School, were enrolled in his great institution last year, mostly from the South, although thirty-five States in all were represented and nineteen foreign countries. There were employed about his school 167 officers, instructors and helpers. Training was given in thirty-eight industries or trades in addition to the academic work. Since 1882 there had been sent out from the institution more than 6,000 men and women who had taken full or partial courses, all qualified to do good service as teachers or industrial workers. The school's plant is now worth, at a modest estimate, $1,115,634.81. A fair increase, that, on the original investment of the $250 which he borrowed! During the past year receipts for current expenses were $199,796, or almost eight hundred times as much as the first loan which the earnest and courageous colored youth secured from his old friend in Hampton Institute with so much fear and trembling. Of this sum $111,739.66 came from entrance fees and contributions by philanthropic individuals, churches and Sunday schools. For endowment the school's receipts, for the same year were $28,692; for especial purposes, mostly improvements upon buildings, $39,534.95; in the form of unrestricted legacies, $142,927.40. I might fill a page with more statistics, every one of which would tell an astonishing detail, help to measure this amazing man's incredible success, illustrate the public confidence which he has won, but I shall stop my figure-talk with two more sets of numerals—significant, well-nigh unbelievable when considered in connection with the school's beginnings and the handicap which everywhere and all the time weighed on the man who has created it. Last year was spent upon current work of the great institution $259,164.72; the permanent plant was increased and improved to the extent of $196,177.87. Two years ago the school came through entirely without debt; last year it owed a little less than $20,000 at the end of twelve months marked by great improvements and extension. That its founder's energy has ever waned, his industry relaxed, his courage faltered or my children and friends than splendid roads traversing the state of Washington in all directions and perhaps, extending across the continent. I have no political ambition and would not accept the highest office in the gift of your state, but if I can succeed in building for the farmers good roads. I will have all the honor I desire to leave to my posterity." TELEPHONE ROBBERS GET BUSY It has been verily believed for lo these many months that, the same persons owned the stocks of both the Pacific States Telephone company and the Independent Telephone company of Seattle and that the public was being systematically ground to pieces by operating the two companies, and now that the Pacific States Telephone company has, owing to the laxness of the wording of its franchise, thanks to Congressman Humphrey, who was corporation counsel of Seattle at the time the franchise was drawn, been able to increase its already exhorbitant rate some twenty-five per cent and the Independent company, owing to the care with which it was drawn in the interest of the people, thanks to Scott Calhoun, who was corporation counsel at the time that that franchise was granted, has not been able to increase its rates, the two companies threaten to consolidate or become merged into the Pacific States Telephone Company and under the terms of that rotten franchise, so far as the people are concerned, continue to systematically rob it patrons for all time to come. When the merger will have been made then the people will have no rights that the Pacific States Telephone Company are bound to respect and none in the world that it will respect. A NON-PARTISAN JUDICIARY Whether or not there is any merit in the move for a non-partisan judiciary we are not at this time prepared to say, but we do know, there are men who have been nominated for the supreme bench by the Republicans that should be elected to stay at home. The temperament of the citizens all over the United States is to take the judiciary and the schools out of partisan politics and the citizens of the state of Washington thinking well of the proposition followed in the wake of other states, but that did not meet the ap- his enthusiasm dimmed is indicated by the fact that it is and ever has been largely through his personal efforts that the annual deficit has been met. Less than $100,000 of the quarter-of-a-million annual expense is, at present, met by normal income. He has managed to enlist the interest and sympathy of many of the country's greatest minds in the efforts of the institute. In one photograph of notables in attendance at the school's twenty-fifth anniversary cele- BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. bration were included Charles W. Eliot, president of the Harvard University; Andrew Carnegie, Robert C. Ogden, Rev. Lyman Abbott, editor of The Outlook, and J. G. Phelps Stokes. Three presidents have known the institution and approved of it—Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt and Mr. Taft is in full accord with his predecessors. Mr. FRIDAY September 23. 1910 proval of the attorneys, who represent the interest of the state and so they saw to it that it was again turned over to the corporation attorneys to select the members of the supreme bench, who would have to hear their appeals. Of course they have no selfish motive in such a move and personal gain was absolutely foreign to their actions. Some of the men named, in the opinion of the editor hereof, were so named for no higher aims than that they would be obligated to certain men and concerns, and whether or not they will be is not to be considered, but the mere fact that they were selected for that purpose by the men most vitally interested in what they do, is sufficient grounds for the people repudiating them. Each and every one of the nominees of the Tacama convention for members of the supreme bench may be as pure in their motives and intentions on the bench as was King Solomon of old, but having been nominated as they were and by the men who dominated the Tacoma convention they should be eyed with suspicion. COUNTRY AND CITY EXCHANGE There is more than one family in Seattle, which would give up living in the city altogether, having been reared in the country and knowing the advantage of things rural, were it not for the fact that their young sons and daughters refuse to leave the lively whirl of city life. The average young couple also enjoys city life, but as time goes on the glamor fades; many tire of the strife and turmoil and would turn them around and get close to nature. In Seattle's suburbs, a general hunt for homes, where one can have a garden, a few chickens, and perhaps a cow, and yet be in touch with city interests, is being carried on vigorously. It seems to be human nature to want what one has not and so many, who have desirable homes in the suburbs yearn for a return to the city. In many cases there is an even transfer of property, in others an additional cash consideration on one side or the other, and the surburbanite becomes the cityite and vice versa. It is rather odd that persons will spend a good portion of their lives in forming and putting into execution certain plans and perfecting them awake to the fact that they are uncomfortable in their surroundings, but such is life, and one man's discontent often means another's happiness. Roosevelt said, during his visit of October, 1905: "Mr. Washington, while I have always stood for this institution, now that I have seen it and realize as I never had realized by the description of it, all that it means, I shall stand for it more than ever." UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON HOODLUMS The disgraceful scenes that attend the opening of the state university in the city of Seattle should be stopped, if it takes the national guards to accomplish it. If President Kane or any of the professors can see anything beneficial, so far as the students are concerned, elevating or emulating in such scenes as attended the opening of the school this week then those savants can see further in a mill stone than the average citizen. A more ungentlemanly bunch of rowdies never scampered through a city than the state university students that painted the town red two nights of this week playing their pranks on each other and generally annoying the citizens. They were not only ungentlemanly, but they reached the stage of hoodlumism and every mother's son of them should have been loaded in the patrol wagon, sent to the city jail and denied bail till the next morning, when they should have been taken into court and fined for disturbing the peace. It is said that President Kane is seriously contemplating the advisability of putting an end to such tom foolery, and it seems that he would have considered the same years ago, if he had any desire to educate the students in text books instead of hoodlumism. The president of a college that will permit students to carry on as did the students of the University of Washington last Monday and Tusday evenings in a metropolitan city like Seattle, ought to be removed from the presidency of the school. Those university hoodlums not satisfied with subjecting certain members of the school with exposure that might have ruined the health of the weaker ones went into a knock down and drag out fight, in which arms were broken, heads bloodied and bones in the body in general broken and yet the president and the faculty smile and say, "the boys must have their fun. Rot! The whole bunch ought to have their fun in the state penitentiary if they repeat the bloody orgies they committed during the past week. POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS FRIDAY September 23. 1910 One of the cleanest cut victories was that of Frank C. Jackson over Edward B. Palmer, who made his boast a few days prior to the election that he would win in a walk. Palmer was defeated purely on his record. The editor of The Seattle Republican has been warmly congratulated by full five hundred different persons for its work in the Jackson-Palmer contest. John A. Whalley was defeated by an almost unknown. In the beginning of the campaign Whalley treated his opponent as a huge joke, but his friends finally warned him of danger, but not in time for him to stem the tide. Some very crooked work is reported as having transpired in the Whalley-McAvoy election count and it is hinted that Whalley is looking into it very carefully and at the same time keeping his own counsel. The state senators from King county to the next legislature, if all of the Republican nominees are elected, and they will be, will be B. A. Bowen, Ralph D. Nichols, Daniel Landon, Plinney L. Allen, George U. Piper, Josiah Collins, C. E. McAvoy and Frank C. Jackson. There will hardly be a single slip made although the friends of George F. Cotterrill believe he will defeat Dan Landon. Charles G. Heifner will make a hard fight to defeat Piper, and may succeed. George U. Piper, who voted for Schively in the impeachment trial won, but it required all the talent and chicanery that both he and the Clanceys could get together to win and his opponent, Claude C. Ramsey, is by no means satisfied with the vote and may take his case to the court for final adjudication, and it is hinted, that Whalley may do likewise. Ralph D. Nichols made a hard fight and won, but his winning, according to a local paper, was due to the fact that Dan Earle was thrown into the fight in the interest of Nichols and Earle drew directly from Norris. War is being threatened on Nichols and he may yet lose. When Frank H. Renick was counted down and out it was the surprise of the election. It was generally considered that he was impregnable, but it was not so. Renick's record was good and there was no excuse for him being beaten save that the forces got to scrapping among themselves. The wets it seems forced Jeffries to withdraw from the senatorial race and his friends took umbrage at it and began to work for Collins. George Bancroft looked over the field and decided to file for the senate himself, knowing full well that every vote he got would be another nail in Renick's coffin, which alas, was too true. Speaking about the Republican senatorial nominees of King county reminds the writer that some rather unexpected defeats in the late primary election were recorded, and first on the list is I. B. Knickerbocker, whose friends felt reasonably sure hewould win, but he himself doubted it all along. Chief among the things that lead to the defeat of Senator Knickerbocker, it is claimed, was his vote in the Schively impeachment trial, and whether there is or is not anything in the statement we do not know, but it is a fact that every senator that voted for Schively a experienced hard time in the primaries and still has another gauntlet to run. Knickerbocker was a tireless worker and he merited better treatment. Speaking about this dry and wet proposition with which the next legislature will have a great tussel reminds the writer that, Howard Taylor who has been nominated for representative from the fortieth district is seeking the speakership and in view of the fact that he has played a nice little game in both the back yard of the drys and the wets the governor's forces may decide to get behind him lest E. A. Sims, of Port Townsend, should be the winner. Just what the condition will be in the house is hard to say for it is more than probable that a goodly number of the house members will be defeated on account of the insurgent move in the state, and so just what stand the governor's forces will take as to the speakership contest will be determined after the election, but it is fair to presume that Taylor will be the man. Viewing the senatorial roster from a wet and dry standpoint Bowen, Landon, Collins and Jackson will stand pat for the county unit. Piper and McAvoy will stand pat for the law to remain as it is. If we judge by the past Nichols and Allen will be of a like opinion, but things have happened since they left the legislature, and at present they are unknown quantities. Allen has been hooked up with Governor Hay so closely that it is believed he will vote with the governor's forces in the county unit proposition. Nichol's interest is with the wets, but for some unaccountable reason they fought him like grim death in the primaries, and on account of it he may get back at them by vot- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN. ing with the county uniters, and if both Allen and Nichols vote with the wets the senators would be evenly divided. Recapitulating, the drys have four that they can bank on while the wets have but two on which they can bank with two doubtful, but on account of conditions leaning toward the drys and if they do go, the drys will have six out of the eight senators from the county. It will be remembered that the drys needed but ten to control the senate and if they get six of the necessary ten from King county you can safely bet that, the drys will have votes to burn in the senate. [Name] DANIEL LANDON Daniel Landon 3,032 E. M. Williams 1,622 C. M. Baxter 1,565 In the whole primary contest there was not a single candidate who made the splendid campaign that did Daniel Landon for state senator in the thirty-second district. He was opposed by Senator E. M. Williams, who had twice been nominated for the place, and was considered one of the hardest men to be defeated in the whole county. He also had as his opponent, C. M. Baxter, who proved a good runner, but Mr. Landon not only beat Mr. Williams, but came dangerously near getting more votes than did Williams and Baxter combined. Daniel Landon merits the success he has had at the primary polls and it is hoped that he will be equally as successful at the polls of the general election, and, if the signs of the times are indicative of future results, he will be. He is one of the rising attorneys of the city and belongs to that political set that are doing things in King county just now. While he has made no profession as to how he stands on the wet and dry issue that is storming the county, yet he is backed by the dry voters of the district and the presumption is he will be with them when he is a member of the senate. The nomination of Representative Humphrey to succeed himself in Congress places the first congressional district in grave danger of being carried by the Democratic nominee, Judge Wm. Black who is no novice at the campaign stunt. In view of the fact that Senator Piles is to be succeeded by an Eastern Washington man, and, owing to Humphrey's seeming unpopularity, it begins to look as if Seattle will have no representative in congress for the next two years. There is no denying that the insurgents are very much displeased at Mr. Humphrey and unless they do a whole lot of reasoning together from a Seattle view point between now and voting time Mr. Humphrey will again be beaten in King county and it will be impossible for even the northern counties to save him from being slaughtered by Judge Black. Trying to arouse the Seattle spirit afar the opportunity has gone by is like locking the stable after the horse has been stolen. Some over enthusiastic admirer of the Seattle spirit has been running round the streets the past week trying to talk the Seattle spirit into bribing her representative to the next legislature, whether Republican or Democratic, to unite on George F. Cotterill for United States senator, and then bring pressure on a sufficient number of outside representatives to make his election possible. Just how such men can continue to run at large and not be bundled up and sent to Steilacom is more than any one can say, but it is here predicted, if they continue the foolishness the boggie man is sure to get them, just as he did August Tollner, who was trying to elect old man Maple to the United States senate. # "George U. Piper was doubled crossed," declared the Argus in its last issue, commenting on the election returns. Piper doubled cross! Was a more ironical expression ever before published? Piper may have been doubled crossed, but it was only in the failure of some of the "interests" not handing him over as much money as they had agreed to in order to do things in the First ward. It can be said and said without fear of successful contradiction that, Claude C. Ramsey made the best fight that a politician ever put up in the city of Seattle, considering the odds that were against him. He was fought by the entire city and county governments. Policemen were stationed at the doors of the voting places while the count was going on and threatened to shoot any citizen that wanted to go in the room to watch the count. In the precinct on the water front it is said that one man voted fifty dead ones for Pipes and boasted of it after the count had been made. Men who are on the inside say that not less than twenty thousand dollars were spent in the interest of Piper's election. Twenty different automobiles that were paid for by the Burke campaign committee worked all day in the interest of George U. Piper and that, too, in spite of the fact that Piper was an avowed Wilson adherent and Ramsey had remained neutral in the senatorial fight. It is said to be a fact that Johnny Clancy took quite a few of the ballot boxes away from the voting places in his automobile, but where he took them no one but himself and those personally interested, knew, but wherever they were taken no one favorable to Ramsey's nomination was present to see that things were on the square and in the open. Two years ago in the interest of a certain candidate it is said a ballot box was tampered with and it cost the interest something like one thousand dollars to get things fixed up so as to show the nomination of a certain man to the legislature, and now it is beginning to look as if the same thing was done in the contest between George U. Piper and Claude C. Ramsey. If there is any truth in these rumors the attention of the prosecuting attorney should be called to them and if he does not take official cognizance of it then it should find its way into the courts throttgh some other mediums. It was a huge joke in the First ward to think of Ramsey getting the nomination over Piper though he might actually get two votes to his one, for the boys knew Clancy had not lost his counting faculties. Ramsay came out of it all without a scratch and is a better and stronger man with the people today than before he went into the fight. BILLY BRYAN BOLTS William Jennings Bryan has bolted the Democratic nominee for governor of the state of Nebraska and his bolt is based on the liquor question. This is the first time since the meteoric rise of Bryan above the political horizon that he has halted or hesitated at accepting everything his party has put forward, if it would only nominate him for president, and now he will have an opportunity to find out whether he or the Democrats own the old Bourbon Ass that has done such yeoman party service for all these years. In case the Republican convention of New York turns Col. Theodore Roosevelt down he, in all probability, will also bolt his party nominees of that convention and seek to elect a Democratic state administration of New York. In other words Colonel Roosevelt like Bryan will have an opportunity to see whether Teddy Roosevelt or the Republican party owns the party elephant that has weathered the G. O. P. through so many hard fought battles. Stanton Warburton of Tacoma, Washington, who was recently nominated to congress from the second district, is, perhaps, one of the most eccentric geniuses that the Northwest has ever claimed, and that is saying a good deal. He has been an advocate of every organized political party that has ever operated in the state and even some that did not. Though a hard booze fighter at times he has actually endorsed planks in the Prohibition party. Warburton promised to be good in the national capital. J. W, La Follette, recently nominated to congress from the third district of the state of Washington, was once a member of the legislature of this state and was chairman of the railroad committee. Though elected to fight the railroads it was said after the adjournment of the legislature that La Follette played the farmers false. Soon thereafter he moved to California, but not finding things to his liking down there he came back to the state of Washington and in politics remained pacific until recent years when he got the congressional bee in his bonnet. ARE THE DAILY PAPERS ON THE SQUARE? 4 Do publishers of newspapers permit news items and editorials to appear in their papers, which to them at the time are known to be either absolutely false or so misleading as to completely deceive the readers thereof? Do publishers of metroplitan daily papers permit their news gathers to suppress news items, which the public is justly entitled to know, because the publishing of such news items would expose a friend, a man or some concern of vast holdings in the community? Do publishers of daily papers willingly accept any cock and bull story and publish the same with no greater aim to serve the public than to sell a large number of that particular issue and otherwise advertise the paper? Has the reading public no journalistic ethics that it demand of newspapers to follow? Is the public getting what it wants when it accepts newspapers that will publish news items without questioning their veracity or accuracy? If so, then there is enough said. Its no uncommon thing to hear two persons talking about something they saw in one of the metropolitan papers of their immediate community and conclude with, "you cannot believe what you see in the papers," or, "that was only a newspaper account of it." If you cannot believe what you see in the newspapers, then, in this age of progress and rapid transit, how could you get the news? If the newspaper account of what transpired is not absolutely accurate and reliabie then, it is worse than useless to publish daily accounts of events and mishaps. Papers should be so accurate and in their reports of happenings and so religiously live up to that rule that, when you read a news item in a paper it should be just the same to you as if you had heard it from a witness on the stand in a court of justice testifying to it under oath. The newspaper should be the great public educator and enlightner. It should always be free from exaggerations, free from inaccuracies, free from coloring its stories so as to meet a personal condition, and so well edited in orthography, syntax and prosidy that the whole would be like unto a text book. In preaching you, dear reader, this journalistic sermon, we have in mind the tons of campaign billingsgate that were sent out to the reading public during the late primary campaign in the state of Washington. Other communities may have experienced similar conditions, but lets hope that, Seattle will never again be tortured with such disgraceful journalism. In the campaign here referred to the Daily Times simply outdid its ownself in misrepresentations and that is saying a good deal. If the proprietors of the Daily Times had any degree of journalistic decency in them they would feel like sheep killing dogs when they look over the actual election returns and think about their journalistic utterances in the late campaign. "Burke's 14,000 King county club," "Burke's carrying every county in the state," and all similar misrepresentations published to create sentiment for Burke in King county was so despicably misleading that, if the people would only think of how they were imposed upon, the Times would not have enough circulation to justify its owners to continue to put it out, but they will not, and that prompts again the question, are the readers of the Times and similar publications, getting what they want? If so, enough said. The laws of this state make it a crime for newspapers to publish commendary things about candidates and receive pay therefor without marking the article, "paid advertisements," and yet the Times will hardly deny that it was paid for every line that was published in its columns in the interest of Burke's campaign, not only committed a crime itself, but induced others to also commit crime. Even the laws of the land are flagrantly broken by the large metropolitan papers and a defy flung in the face of the executors of the law, and yet such papers are received by the reading public without question. He, who condones crime, or he who knows a crime has been committed and does not make the fact known to the executors of the law is equally guilty in the eyes of the law as the principal and therefore the readers of papers, who believe and almost know such papers are breaking the law, and yet patronizes them are encouraging crime, yea not only encouraging crime, but aiding and abetting crime. It is almost time that the newspapers of the United States were undergoing a Rooseveltian renovation the same as the politics. The public press should not be muzzled in a sense to cripple it and thereby do the public more harm than good, but the men, who edit the papers, should be, in some manner, restrained from publishing news that they know to be false and, in many instance malicious in order to defeat the ambitions of some persons they had reason to differ from. But we did not set out to abuse any particular paper and such as has been said in that way, was but said to more clearly demonstrate the allegations set out in the beginning. Recently a leading public man made the statement that, the newspapers and magazines had no influence with the public and that, if he wanted to be elected to an office, he would get all of the newspapers to abusing him and then he would feel absolutely certain of election. He meant to say, the readers of the newspapers do not believe a word they publish, and when they abuse a man they do so because he does not come through with the coin, the thing uppermost in the minds of the publisher. The man who is held up to the reading public as the bright and shining light of the community is the man that comes through with the greatest amount of coin. You can safely turn to your neighbor, who has been given a great send-off in a THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN LY PAPERS ON metropolitan paper, and ask of shrieking against him, "How much did it cost?" upon its liberty.

He argued that it was not in the province of newspers to make candidates for office, that duty having been delegated to the people. Whether the future policy of the paper will reflect the policy of the chief owner is not known. If the paper is only independent strictly in the Republican party and stands pat after the nominatiions have been made, it will become the great political dictator of the state. Doing the journalistic stunt is by no means doing the political stunt and its the former and not the latter that the Hon. John L. Wilson is now doing and it is believed he will fall heir to the journalistic position of the Northwest, which was so ably and admirably filled by the late lamented Harvey W. Scott of the Portland Oregonian. THE SHAME OF THE PRESS The press of the country has kept step with the progress of the country, up and down—up in the size of the newspapers and economic waste, and down in disregard of individual rights and in shameless surrender to the vulgarities of what the cheap people, with which this country is crowded, call the higher social life. The yellow streak runs not less through the press than through the people. The shame of the press is that it has catered to the worst tendencies of a corrupt and malodorous age. It has magnified all the weaknesses of humanity, "played up" in the language of the shop, the indecencies of society, reveled in the rotenness of the divorce courts and engaged with deliberation in the intensive cultivation of every source of scandal. Its mission ought to be the elevation of the public; instead, it advertises its degradation. Fairly --- --- shrieking against any restriction upon its liberty, it converts its liberty into license.

Scott of the Portland has been noted for years the gradual degradation of the American press to the American level. This is a sad commentary on the moral condition of the nation. There is no such room for reform and so much opposition to it, that the honest journalist confronts a Herculean task.—Major Hemphill, Editor Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch. INDEPENDENT REPUBLI CAN PAPER In announcing that it will be an independent Republican paper does the Post-Intelligencer mean, it will be independent of the Republican party or does it mean it will be independent in the Republican party? If the latter it has always under its present owners been more or less independent in the party, but has always felt duty bound to support the Republican nominees, though they were frequent-very objectionable. If the former then it no longer holds any allegiance to the Republican --- FRIDAY September. 1910 party and is in the class of the Springfield Republican, which is Independent in politics, and under obligations to no party or combination of politicians, and for influence locally and otherwise the Springfield Republican has every other daily paper in the United States skinned a thousand miles. But is it possible to run an independent Republican paper? Can a newspaper be Independent and Republican at one and the same time? In political circles are not Independent in politics and Republican in politics just as diametrically opposed to each other as Democratic in politics? Independent in politics would give the publication the moral right to fight any party it cared as well as dared to and having no party allegiance it could afford to dare to, but independent Republican in politics would mean the newspaper is tied to no faction in the Republican party and would fight to have the best man nominated regardless of the interest of the Iterests or the dominating machine although it would abide by the decision of the party. An independent Republican newspaper, if such a thing is possible, has no more right to bolt the party choice than a regular Republican newspaper. An Insurgent Republican is nothing more than an independent Republican, and yet when they win in a contest the Stand pat Republicans are just as morally bound to support the nominees made by the Insurgents at the primaries as if the Stand-pat Republicans had have been nominated. If the best interest of the country is to be conserved every metropolitan newspaper in the United States should be Independent in politics, and then they would be able to rebuke the party lash and even the proverbial big stick and advocate the best man for the offices. More thieves and robbers have gone into office under the cloak of being the party nominee in the Republican party than any other party in the country. The question about metropolitan newspapers declaring they will be independent in politics is, will they live up to it? It will be remembered that a few years ago the Oregonian solemnly announced that it would be Independent in politics, but it went on supporting the nominees of the Republican party as it had done in the past, and when the people of Oregon instructed the legislature to elect that man for United States senator that received the highest number of votes and a Democrat won the nomination, despite the fact that the state was overwhelmingly Republican, the Oregonian simply had political fits and tried its very best to have the law repealed. The Post-Intelligencer will do the state of Washington great service if it will be an Independent political newspaper instead of a hide bound Reublican party paper and advocate the election of any one that happens to get the party nomination. The Seattle Republican will however, continue to be the only Republican paper in Seattle. "Clayton and Clayson 'Also Ran'" FRIDAY September 23, 1910 It's a rare occurrence for the Times to mention men who usually devote large space in their publications to defaming the editor of the times, or slandering the Times itself. But there are exceptions to all rules and that fact alone must be the excuse for mentioning two names that have rarely been found in these columns during the fourteen years of the present management of this publication. The names mentioned in the caption are familiarly known to the public in a limited manner as "H. R. Cayton" (colored), who in conjunction with a very estimable woman, publishes the Seattle Republican, issued regularly once a week. The name of the other is "Edward Clayson, Sr.," (supposed to be of Caucasion descent, but pedigree really unknown)—who publishes the slanderous and defamatory sheet ever put before the American public, and for which he has been convicted by the United States court. Having a larger estimate of their own potentiality, this colored man—and the other one of unknown origin—decided to ascertain to what degree of popularity the publication of defamation and slander had carried them in a scattering and limited patronage. Therefore, the "colored man" offered himself as a candidate for the state senate in the thirty-seventh district—while the man of unknown pedigree offered himself for the state senate in the thirty-fifth district. When the polls were closed on primary day, and the votes all counted, it was discovered that the "colored man" had received a solitary vote,—but up to date no one has admitted the "guilt" of such conduct. It is therefore presumed that the "colored man" forgot himself in the booth while exercising his right to vote, and made a cross against his own name. As strange as it may seem, the fellow of "unknown pedigree" failed to receive a solitary vote—the omission having occurred probably because the man himself was out of town. The late Col. Harvey W. Scott, of the Portland Oregonian, once said that, in his judgment, "no successful newspaper editor should ever offer himself as a candidate for office." The reason why "Cayton" and "Clayson" did not follow the precept and example of Colonel Scott may be found in these two facts: In the first place, these two men have never been successful at anything except in the art of slander and defamation of character. Therefore they would not fall within the limitation of Col. Scott's precept. In the second place, Col. Scott did not contemplate that "any man" without any following at all would be so presumptious as to think that the people would endorse him for the office. It must be a satisfaction, however, to the men whom Cayton have slandered and villified for the last decade to realize in what complete contempt both of them are held in this community. -The Seattle Times. AND THE VILLIAN---- "Saw it in the Times? Damn lie." If since the coinage of the above expression by THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN there ever was any doubt as to its authenticity, then after reading the above excerpt from the Times of last Friday, all doubts should be removed from your mind. The article is a misrepresentation and a fabrication of falsehoods from caption to climax. The name of the editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is Cayton and not Clayton as the caption of the excerpt states. We may have been colored soon after reaching mother earth, but we are inclined to think, we were born this way. The editor of this paper, H. R. Cayton, was not a candidate for any office before the late primary election and his name did not appear on any ballot. For an excuse to publish the vulgar excerpt quoted above it occurs to us that, the editor of the Times, instructed some one of his hirelings to cast the vote contrary to law for H. R. Cayton for state senator. We certainly would not, in view of the fact that we were so desirous of seeing the colonel's friend, the Hon. E. B. Palmer for state senator defeated have thrown away a vote even on ourselves. To learn that Mr. Palmer had been defeated must have been a stunning blow to the editor of the railroad corporation organ, but men of the stripe of Palmer and Blethen will no longer be tolerated in the councils of the Republican party. Editor Blethen in order to soften the terrible drubbing he thought he was administering to the editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN tells of the nobleness of the associate editor hereof. We know Mrs. Susie Revels Cayton is the sweetest, best and most noble woman in the whole world, but. how the devil did he find it out, as he would not know her if he should meet her? Perhaps the editor herecf has never been successful at anything in this community except in the art of slander and defamation of character. If, however, the colonel is referring to himself having been defamed, it is news to the editor hereof to learn that he had enough character to be defamed. On the other hand we hardly see how we could be such a vile defamer of character and at the same time earn a living for a wife and five children among those whom he defamed. It is a fact that the editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is a Negro and this Negro editor has 2,500 subscribers to his paper, composed of some of the leading and best business men of the city. Yea, ninety-eight per cent of the subscribers to THE SEATTL REPUBLICAN are white men. It is to say the least remarkable that a Negro could build up a weekly paper among the whites of any community as has the editor of The Seattle Republican and get more for it than does the editor of any other weekly publication in the Northwest. We are inclined to think that on a popular vote as to whether Colonel Blethen or H. R. Cayton was held in the greatest amount of contempt by the citizens of this community that, Blethen THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN would beat Cayton by two to one. We know of no man that is more generally disliked than Alden J. Blethen and we know of no publication that is considered by the public so generally unreliable as the Seattle Daily Times. Repeatedly in the last campaign the editor of The Seattle Republican received three and four page letters from the editor of the Times denying criticisms appearing in The Seattle Republican, which denials he did not dare publish in the Times because the public would give it the horse laugh. There is no getting away from it, "Saw it in the Times? Damn lie." NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE by the Treasurer of the City of Seattle, King County, Washington. To: Charles Moydell.

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.
