HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - - Associat ANYTHING TO GET THE JOB Alleged superiority of blood is a splendid thing and a great asset to the man of money, but to the man in need of money or desirous of personal influence, it is not only nothing, but even worse, it is minus nothing, and in substantiation of this assertion, we cite the following bit of news: "The Chickasaw Indian tribe is without a chieftan just now, owing to death, and it is the duty of the president of the United States, according to a law passed by Congress, to nominate a chief for the tribe." This is a pretty fat job, and one not only Indians, but even the proud white man is very anxious to obtain, but aside from getting the ear of the president and the secretary of the interior, one must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he has Chickasaw blood in his veins in order to be named as such. The recent general election all over the country left at home a great many statesmen, who had been law makers at the National Capitol, and who believe it would be dangerous to try to carry on the government without them being in some way connected with its affairs, and therefore, they are casting about for fat positions on which to land after their terms in Congress expire next March. Representative Tawney of Minnesota, who, the whole country had always believed was a pure white man with no inferior racial blood in his veins, is now seeking the position as Chickasaw chieftan, or using the vernacular of the Indians themselves, wants to be "big Injun." Who would have thought it? And United States Senator Charles F. Fairbanks, once vice president of the United States and a formidable candidate for the presidency to succeed Roosevelt; is likewise said to be a candidate for this big Injun job; and he, too, has always been considered the pure of the purest type of white man. And along with these there are many others equally as prominent in the past among the Anglo-Saxons, who now declare that they have Chickasaw blood in them and for that reason are perfectly eligible to be named as chief of the tribe. Perhaps they are all correct, but in view of the attitude they have taken in the past it would seem they are taking a good long step backward in order to feed at the government crib. WOMEN'S GOVERNMENT DUTIES In giving women the right to vote all the privileges and appurtenances thereunto belonging were likewise given to them and all the duties that devolve upon the voter should be as faithfully performed by the women as by the men. Recently a woman petitioned the governor of the state that the women be permanently excused from jury duty, which was promptly denied by the governor and rightly so. The woman who feels that she does not want to serve on a jury should not want to vote, and, if she is unalterably opposed to both, then she should move out of the state, even if she has to do it at a financial sacrifice to herself and family. The qualified voters of the state must all take their part at the wheel of both governing and likewise being governed. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1911 Over in Tacoma the city attorney has ruled that women need not tell their age when they apply to register unless they are inclined to do so, and yet the men, since the mind of man runneth to the contrary, have been required to tell their exact age when they appear before a registration clerk for the purpose of having his name put on the books for proper identification at the polls on the general election day. If that was a wise and judicious measure for the men it should likewise be applied to the women. Nothing is more foolish than a woman trying to hide her age, and for her to de so when either the custom or the law has exacted the same of the men after she assayed to assume the duties of the men, is a thousand times more foolish than the society woman refusing to disclose her age less those younger would take steps to have her declared beyond the age limit. Whether a woman be young or old the man admirers or loves her for what she is worth though the worth some times may only be in so many dollars and cents and some times for their true merit, but the worthy women of fifty is just as charming and as much sought after by the men as the giddy young creature, who dresses in stunning gowns, chews gum on the street and drinks punch at entertainments until she does not know whether her male companion is taking her home or to some cheap lodging house. This is the first issue of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN in the year 1911, and we suppose it is order to wish you a Happy New Year, but we are not going to do it because the other fellow got ahead of us, and we will not play second fiddle. FIVE THOUSAND UNEMPLOYED Those in a position to know declare there are fully 5,000 unemployed men hibernating in Seattle at present, the most of whom are willing to do any kind of work in order to keep soul and body together. It is taxing the charitable institutions of the city to the full limit and then some, to provide a place for them to sleep and give one meal a day. Should a heavy snow fall followed by a week's severe cold weather hit the community there would be untold suffering among them. There is no use trying to hide this situation and the thing to do is for those in authority to try to make some provision for these idle hungry men to get enough work for them to earn enough to buy themselves sufficient amount of food to keep the wolf from the door until the winter weather is over. Let the mayor confer with the official bodies and with the other city and county officials with the view of providing work for the men. It cost as much for the person with a home to get a cord of wood in Seattle as if Seattle were 500 miles inland on a prarie and it would seem that a municipal wood yard might be established, in which a great many of the idle men could be employed even if they did not get more than a dollar a day, and that wood sold at a reasonable price to to the homes. Properly directed there is hardly any telling how many men that could be given employment in a municipal wood yard which would not only give idle men bread, but give cheap wood to others who have employment at reduced wages. The park board ought to find considerable work for the idle men and it would not be amiss for the county commissioners to put some of the idle men of the city on county road work. If these idle men continue idle and hungry very much longer there is going to be an epidemic of crime committed in and about the city, and as Ben Butler said, "the way to resume is to resume," so get busy. If the hotel men succeed in their undertaking Seattle will have a King for a number of years to come. We always thought the pompous hotel keepers had exalted opinions of themselves. Once upon a time train robbers did their work in isolated mountain gorges forty miles from nowhere, But they are more up-to-date now and turn the trick in the heart of some metropolitan city. That is robbery up to date. VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 32 EDITORIAL EDICTS It is rather regrettable that the bird men have been experiencing some very sudden drops this season. All things working well there will be quite a Trimble in the office of mayor of Seattle after February 7th. You are mistaken, this paper has not declared that Mayor Gill is crazy, but it is of the opinion that, he acts like it. A jury has decided that the man who shot Mayor Gaynor, is sane. If he had not been, he would never planned so well. In case you have a private graft you wish to get through the next legislature its high time you were getting your rooms at Olympia. No, Constant Reader, Seattle Way is not a way on which you travel, but a Way that makes you travel the easiest and best wsy to success. Clayson, of the Patriarch, is going to write a history of the Puget Sound country. Guess Clayson's dance hall will be featured in the book. When Seattle is in a Congressional district all by her lonely, it occurs to us that, it will be a cold day when Humphrey gets elected to represent the district. Instead of a mountain lion it was only a wild cat that Louis Hemrich and his hunting associates treed and killed. We are awfully glad that it was not a "ccon." "Prospectors Live For Sixty Days On Clams," is a Times' headline. That's nothing; the Seattle pioneers lived for a number of years on not much else except clams. Two thousand of Uncle Sam's Douhobers are leaving the United States for British Columbia where they seem inclined to have a little hell or heaven of their own. Go to it. Hot air is a very useful thing for the heating of large office buildings where numbers of persons are employed, but it is worse than useless on which to make a political campaign. When Washington's last territorial governor opposes the initiative and the referendum laws he clearly demonstrates that, he is Miles behind the Moore important questions of the day. The aeoroplane route seems very popular these days, nevertheless the auto is holding its own in sending human beings to their graves. There is nothing like taking an easy route to the Great Beyond. If Professor Beach's theory is correct that every baby born is worth $300,000, and if there is any show of getting the money, we are anxious to get in touch with the deliverer of the coin, and we won't do a thing to him. Twenty years from now the man who will have lived in Seattle for the past forty years will compare the Seattle of that day to the Seattle of 1890 and he will almost conclude that he is another twenty year dreamer. Yes, of course, Colonel Blethen, the council violated the laws in having a recall election, but the reason it violated the laws is because you now realize that the end of the little game you and Wappy have been playing is almost to an end. A newspaper published by a Negro says, "when in the last days of the departing year we look back and see 200 black men brutally lynched and 5,000 young colored girls forced into premature motherhood all by our white friends, we wonder what kind of a country is this in which we live." To us it seems to be a country in which might makes right. COMMENT OF THE STATE PRESS If Governor Dix succeeds in saving New York state a million dollars a year, he will be in bad with the political boodlers and far him to succeed himself it will be hard sledding. Some weeks ago it was reported that beef cattle were coming off the perch, but late reports declare they have changed their minds, and as a result beef will be as high this year as last. When Colonel Roosevelt arrives in Seattle and the editor and the associate editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN show him what we have got he will be very, very sorry that he ever got off that talk about race suicide in the United States. The University students will appeal to the law makers to protect them against military drill. What the law makers should do is make them drill more and act damphool less, which might result in more common sense being acquired by them. In view of the fact that the editor of the Seattle Daily Times has sworn off lying the editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBICAN has concluded to go and do likewise and we ask the general public to keep a sharp lookout as to whether we keep our pledge. It is currently reported that there are 5,000 men in Seattle out of employment and that the most of them are dependent upon charity for food and lodging. If the statement be correct then it would seem that another soup house era is pretty nearly upon us. Despite the fact this has been a rather open winter on Puget Sound, yet there was a Snow storm in open court last Wednesday in Olympia. This Snow has frozen on to a bunch of money belonging to the state of Washington and refuses to be thawed loose from it. Does the fact that that 1,700 poor people in Seattle were fed by charity on Christmas day suggest anything to you. It shows that too many flock to the cities who are neither possessed of the ability nor the means to successfully cope with the obstacles one meets with in congested populations. It is safe to say that not half of these people would have needed help had they cast their lot in the county districts. The best advice that can be given to young men and women who must depend on manual labor, and to many professionally inclined as well, is to keep away from the cities. The struggle for existence will be easier. Life will be more pleasant and the children be brought up in a better moral atmosphere. —Island County Times. PUBLICITY DID IT Sumas has derived a great deal of advertising from the result of the local option election, being heraled far and near as the only wet town in Whatcom county, and wet by such a decisive majority. There must be some good about a wet town, for sush advertising is bringing results, there is not an empty house in town, business men representing most all lines of business, are looking for locations here, and the new enterprises and industries to be started in the spring will easily make this the second town in size in the county. —Sumas News. AN UNREARONABLE ASS The Seattle papers are howling about and vigorously demanding largely increased legislative representation for King county under the forthcoming apportionment. Those papers seem to assume that the other counties of the state are likely to combine to resist the demands of King county for an increase of four senators and eight representatives to which the Seattle papers claim King county to be entitled under the 1910 census. Considering the quality of the statesmen that King county usually sends to the legislature, we don't know but what the other counties of the state would be justified on the ground of public policy in stoutly resisting the demands of King for additional representation, even though to do so means to fly in the face of the constitution.—Yakima Democrat. NEW JUDICIAL DISTRICTS Seattle may succeed in increasing the volume of her population by augmenting her judicial force. There is a clamor for more judges in different parts of the state. The best way to meet the situation, is to repeal and so frame laws looking towards the decrease of litigation. - Washington Standard. WHAT HE LEFT THE WORLD In response to many requests the Chicago Enquirer again reprints the strange will of a young lawyer, who died several years ago in the ward for the insane n the almshouse of Cook County, Illinois. The will was found in his coat. On a resolution of the Chicago Bar Association the document was sent to probate and so was spread on the records of Cook county. The will follows: I. Charles Lounsberry, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this, my last will and testament, in order, to justly as may be, to distribute my interest in the world among those succeeding me: That part of my interest which is known in law and recognized in the sheep bound volumes as my property, being inconsiderable and of no account, I make no distribution of this in my will. My right to live being but a life estate, is not at my disposal, but, these thlings excepted, all else in the world I now proceed to devise and bequeath: Item. I give to good fathers and mothers, in trust for their children, all good little words of praise and encouragement and all quaint pet names and endearments, and I charge said parents to use them justly but generously, as thu needs of their children shall require. Item. I leave to the children inclusively, but only for the term of their childhood, all and every flower of the field and blossom of the woods, with the right to play among them freely, according to the customs of children, warning them at the same time against thistles and thorns. And I devise to children the banks of the brooks and the golden sands beneath the water thereof, and the odors of the willows that dip therein, and the white clouds that float high over the giant trees. ENT OF THE STATE PROUD OF JUDGE BURKE Judge Thomas Burke of Seattle, has received an unexpected but remarkable tribute to his ability and honesty from an unexpected source. When Mr. Carnegie donated $10,000,000 for the promotion of universal peace, he selected fifty men out of the millions in the United States to properly use this money. Of the men selected Judge Burke was one of them. The state may well feel proud that one of its citizens is to act in this capacity.—White River Journal. Judge Thomas Burke, of Seattle, has been appointed as one of the committee of fifty to handle the $10,000,000 bequest of Andrew Carnegie for the promotion of universal peace. This demonstrates the position Judge Burke occupies in the affairs of the nation and quite a compliment to the city of Seattle.—Big Bend Empire. BULL IN A CHINA SHOP Robert E. Lee, formerly a blacksmith, has been elected to Congress from Pennsylvania. Having forged to the front, he ought to be able to hammer the opposition in fine style.—Exchange. But won't he be liable to tire the felloes with his ad-vice? The more he bellows, the more the corporations will steel and then lookout for a bolt.—Lincoln County Times. BUT YOU GET THERE The Seattle Union Record has not published a special edition for Christmas or New Years since the date of publication. We appreciate the effort other papers put forth to shine on those special occasions, and wish them a continuance of the prosperity appearing in the special editions.—Union Record. But the way you roped them in on your Labor Day programs and special issues made the Christmas editions look like the proverbial "thirty cents with a hole in it." ARE YOU THERE? The public of the Evergreen State will rise up and call that legislator blessed who introduces and successfully fights to a finish, a bill regulating express charges. A bill similar to the one on the statute books of Minnesota would head off the express company from robbing us of thousands upon thousands of dollars annually. Who has the requisite amount of sand and ability to undertake this movement in the interest of a long-suffering public?—Lincoln County Times. FRIDAY, January 6, 1911 And I leave the children the long, long days to be merry in a thousand ways, and the night and the train of the Milky Way to wonder at, but subject, nevertheless to the rights hereinafter given to lovers. Item. I devise to boys, jointly, all the useful, idle fields and commons where ball may be played, all pleasant waters where one may swim, all snow clad hills where one may coast and all streams and ponds where one may fish, or where, when grim winter comes, one may skate, to hold the same for the period of their boyhood, and all meadows with clover blossoms and butterfies thereof; the woods with their apurtenances, the squirrels and the birds, the echoes and strange noises and all distant places which may be visitant, together with the advantages there found. And I give to said boys each his own place at the fire-side at night, with all pictures that may be seen in the burning wood, to enjoy without let or hindrance, and without any incumbrance or care. Item. To lovers I devise their imaginary world, with whatever they may need, as the stars of the sky. the red roses by the wall, the bloom of the hawthorne, the sweet strains of music and ought else that may desire to figure to each other the lastingness and beauty of their love. Item. To young men, jointly, I devise and bequeath all boisterous and inspiring sports of rivalry, and I give to them the disdain of weakness and undaunted confidence in their own strength. Though they are rude, I leave to them the power to make lasting friendships, and of possessing companions, and to them, exclusively, I give all merry songs and grave choruses to sing with lusty voices. Item. And to those who are no longer children or youths or lovers, I leave memory, and bequeath to them the volumes of the poems of Burns and Shakespeare and of other poets, if there be others, to the end that they may live the old days over again, freely and fully, without tithe or diminition. Item. To our loved ones with snowy crowns, I bequeath the happiness of old age, the love and gratitude of their children until they fall asleep. HOW NOTHING HAS GROWN Beginning with nothing, the express companies have accumulated gross assets amounting to almost $120,000,000 in their useful career. This leaves out of the account their rich and frequent dividends on an active capital of less than $12,000,000 last year. No wonder they shudder at the thought of parcels post. They can spend a good deal of money starring up the small storekeepers and still live quite comfortably. Portland Oregonian. CITY POPULATION There is a growing tendency on the part of the American population to flock to the cities. Mr. Roosevelt's visit to the abandoned farm district of the state of New York emphasises this fact. The recent facts given on this point by the Census Bureau show that the tendency throughout the country is toward the cities. Of the 92,000,000 people in the United States more than twenty-eight and a half millions reside in cities exceeding 25,000 in population. There are 228 of these cities. Nineteen of them have a population exceeding a quarter of a million and fifty exceed 100,000. The exact population of the 228 is 28, 507,007. Of this number 20,303,047 reside in the larger cities of more than 100,000 population. The rate of increase in the large cities for the decade between 1900-1910 was 33.6 against 32.5 during the decade between 1890-1900.—Exchange. METROPOLITAN BANK—White building; H. S.

NSS Lewes ae o SR PERO teen! making tothe comforts and re- quirements of the daily life of those in other parts of the world are scarcely realized even by those supplying the articles so contributed. How little the girl or woman employed in the fac- tory realize that the cotton cloth being manufactured with her co- operation is to become a holiday dress for some other girl or woman in China, or India, or the Phillipines, or South Africa, or the Islands of the East or West Indies! How little does the boy or man who engages in the daily round of farm life realize that the bacon to ke made from the pigs which he feeds is to go into the home o} Liberia, and Portuguese Africa and French Oceania, and Asiastic Russia, or that the eggs which he collects may be export- ed to British Guiana, or Peru or Cuba, or Central America, or the various countries of Europe! Yet these and many other curi- ous and interesting incidents of the neighborly interchanges be- twe®n our own people and those of other and distant parts of the } worle are shown as part of the “every - year, all-the- year-round routine of trade recurded by the Bureau of Statistics of the De- partment of Commerce and La- bor. {ils annual volume, ‘‘Commerce and Navigation of the United Srates,’’? which is suppiied free of charge to those desiring it for study of our foreign commerce, many curious things about our trade with the various parts of the world. Itis interesting, for example, to see that the Ameri- can mule goes to Africa, Austra- lia, the Islands of Oceania Brit- ish, Dutch, and French Guiana, Ecuador, Brazil, Haiti. Costa Rica and British Honduras for service on the roads and planta- tions. American candles, of which the exportations amount to from three to eight millian pounds a year, are lighting homes in Ja- pan, Korea, Siberia, Tasmania, Venezuela, the Dutch West In- dies, Salvador, the Philipines and French pussessions of Afri- ca American brooms and brushes are makiag clean flours and dust- ing the garments of dwellers in Turkey, Roumania, Malta, the Azores Islands, Egypt, Spanish possessions in Africa, German Islands in the Pacific, Hongkong and Santo Domingo. American peanuts, of which the exportations range from five to seven million pounds a year, go to British India, the Guianas in South America, the Danish East Indies,Gautamala, Labrador, the Island of Bermuda, and the Bel- gian Congo in Africa. American boots and shoes, of which the exports range above ten million dollars a year, go in increasing quantities to every part of the world—Hongkong, Siam, Japanese territory in Chi- na, Javaand Sumatra, the Straits Settlements, Australia and New ITEMS MORE OR LESS INTERESTING American windmills, of which more than a_ million dollars’ worth are exported every year, are seen in South Africa, the Ca- nary Islands, Turkey in Asia, French China, Haiti, Santo Dom- ingo; Turkey in Europe, Switzer- land, Romania, Greece and Greenland. And so we might go on ex- tending the list indefinitely, enumerating products of the American farm and factory which are being sent to other parts of the world, and these articles would include sewing machines, typewriters motor boats, organs, pianos, pianolas, soap, perfum- ery, oranges, raisins, prunes, chewing gum, toys and many other equally curious and inter- esting articles, to say nothing of the great classes making up the grand total of more than $767, 000,000 worth of manufactures, $565,000,000 worth of raw mate- rials, and $370,000,000 worth of foodstuffs. Of raw cotton alone the year’s exports amounted to $450, 000, 000; of meat and dairy products, $130,- 000,000; of wheat and corn, partly in the grain and partly in tke form of flour and meal, $125,000,000, of iron and steel manufactures, $180,000,000; of petroleum and other mineral oils $100,000,000; and of copper man- ufactures, nearly $90,000,000, and so on down the list. The countries, colonies and other ter- ritorial divisions to which these articles go, as shown in the vol- ume, ‘Commerce and Naviga- tion of the United States,’’ above alluded to, are over 100 in num- ber, and it would be diffidult to find in any part of the world a country in which some article or articles of American production are not being sold. ~ The articles which people of other countries send to the United States in return will be discussed next week. THE SPIRIT OF GIVING The Holiday season brings again to us the realization that the hearts of men beat together in close sympathy, when the in- fluence as the divine precept has touched the secret spring which open their portals. There is something wonderful in the al- most universal character of that influence for we see evidence of its power among young and old, rich and poor, Gentile and Jew. It is made manifest by the spirit of giving. A giftis a magnani- mons and voluntary benefit, be- stowed without thought of obli- gation or recompense. The chief consideration is the joy that goes with it and the pleasure that it brings in return. It is an open hearted expression of good will and the desire for peace and fraternity. These high traits are exhibited most when the gift spirit takes no ac- count of the relationship hetween individuals but remembers most the need and the opportunity to bestow a benefit. The gift to the world of a Redeemer was alike for saint and sinner, and the greatest benefit was to the sinner. So men give to the poor, the needy, the destressed, with- out thought that the poor souls have an indisputable claim upon those who have prospered great- er tnan they have prospered. And who cannot imagine that some one else is less favored than he? But even the poor give to the better favored or the rich—a good deed, a simple, gen- erous service—and are happy in the giving. There are none so poor that they cannot give some- thing, for a smile and a wish for anotner’s good fortune, or health or success, is often a gift of rare value. And the universal recog- nition of this spirit of good will is the essence of the gift spirit and the thing which makes the world happy. While we are in- clined to begin the expression of our charitable feeling at home and among our kindred, every good heart knows that a penny to a sufferer is more than a rich bauble to one not in dire need. And when our generous natures begin to respond to the claims that come within our observation or knowledge, we realize that there is no higher privilege or happier service given to men than that of ministering to the relief or the betterment or the welfare of our fellow men. For it is more blessed to give than to receive. —Colorado Stateman. HUMOR OF THE LAW Here is a story tol d by a local lawyer, who swears that it is an actual experience: A jury had retired on a mur- ‘der case and had voted 11 tol for acquital. The obstinate man was a sniall, red-faced fellow, apparently a heavy drinker. He held out for conviction and de- clared he was ready to stay there as long as the next.one. Every now and then he would lean over and suck the head of a small bamboo cain he carried. Finally the jurymen began to make ready for a night of it. The little man soon fell asleep over his cane, and when he went farther into the Land of Nod the stick dropped tothe floor, Mem bers of the jury picked it up and and were about to return it when they discovered that: it was filled er -- 7h icf, | SES ee ee oral EV Brlatetne | iy bag | lagaest ‘ " pee Bee Aon, | Mae ‘ ; 1 e E 5 Se i ; ue See PR } i ana ESA UE as g Beall Pd cease peer SS Free te aia Bae ete Ieee - Sees ef a % | W. M. RUSSESL General Manager of the Alhambra Theatre and theatrical vet- eran of Seattle. with whiskey, and very good whiskey, too. They passed it around, each taking a sip. Of a sudden the little man awakened and, reaching for his cane, at- tempted to suck more ‘‘oil of joy’’ from the head. He was very thirsty, but found the cane emp- ty. After thinking some time he said: “Boys, I beleive I’ve changed my mind. I’ll vote for adquittal. Let’s hurry.’ Professor Blake in a Fourth of July address that Tuscon still re- members, pointed out the for- ward strides that Arizona had made. “Think of the ignorance and illiteracy of the past, all vanish- ed now, he said. ‘‘Once, while ona mineralogical trip, I wand- eled into a courthouse in an Ari- zona village. The case afoot concerned a let- ter. The prosecution wanted this letter admitted in evidence and the defense wanted it barred out. Finally the Judge said re- luctantly: “Hand the pesky thing up and I’ll decide on it.’ “So the letter was handed up tothe Judge, and he put on his spectacles and looked at it side- ways and crossways. and a loud laugh went up from the specta- tors, “What are they laughing at?’ I asked the man next to me. “Why, at the Jedge’s bluff. of course,’ was the reply. ‘The old fool can’t read reading-writin’ let alone writin’-writin’’’’ Most nersons not}in§the legal profession learn sooner or later “rules of evidence’? which make it possible for court proceedings to be blocked for consider able periods of time. Exactly what these rules are, few laymen know. The following is an in- stance, said to be authentic, of the humors of a situation brought about by these conditions: “T understand that you called on the plaintiff. Is that so?’”’ “*Yes,’’ replied the witness. “What did he say?’’ The atttorney for the defense jumped to his feet and objected that the conversation could not be admitted. A half-hour’s ar- gument followed. The judges retired to their private room to consider the point. Some time later they filed into the court room and announc- ed that the question might be put. “Well what did the plaintiff say?” “He weren’t at home, sir,” came the answer. —Law Journal. AMUSEMENTS Commencing next Sunday af- ternoon, ‘‘Camille’’ will be the play at the Alhambra Theater. Miss Emma Bunting will appear in the name part, in Matilda Heron’s version of ‘‘Comille,”’ which is the best ever printed. Those who have seen Miss Bunt- ing in soubrettes ought to see her in ‘‘Camille’’ and they will then be able to compare her with other artists who have assayed the character here. Everybody who has seen the little actress at the Alhambra considers her the best soubrette on the stage today. How they will take her in an emotional lead, is probla- matical. But the surprise she gave the people of Seattle with her splendid ‘‘ Carmen” will doubtless be repeated in ‘‘ Ca- mille,’’ Following ‘‘ Camille,’ Miss Bunting will be seen in one of the parts that she played in Se- attle, when here last, and one of the most popular plays in her repertoire, ‘‘ Anita, the Singing Girl.” The Alhambra theatre is enjoying the best patronage ever accorded it since Miss Bunting began her engagement there, and if the increase continues Messrs. Russell & Drew will have to move toa larger theater, for the Alhambra is certainly inade- quate to accommodate the crowds. THE DOLLAR MARK This play of capital and labor, oppression and trials, speculation and business gambling contains tremendously human interest, of the moment and has already se- cured the approval of New York theatre goers and has been a pro- nounced success in the metropolis of the East. It was staged at the Belasco theatre, Los Angeles, for the first time upon the Pacific Coast for one week, and ran for fifteen. Mr. Baker has paid $2,000 for the rights for Portland, Spokane and Seattle, making -one of the heaviest royalty plays of the en- tire season. The scenery is massive, varied and picturesque. From a min- ing shaft set in the mountains in act one the scene jumps to the deck of a yacht in act {two, and act three is a handsome interior where exquisite dresses are worn and act four is the interior of the stock exchange. With a neces- sary mob of fiftyj:people, over seventy will be engaged in this production and when the ‘‘Dollar Mark” makes itsinitial bow on on Sunday, January 8th, it will be a red letter day in the season of theatricals in Seattle, [Portrait of a man in a suit with a tie, facing forward, set against a dark background with a decorative border.

PAULHAMUS, President of the Sentate WASHINGTON'S TWELFTH LEGISLATURE 4 Next Tuesday the legislature of the state of Washington meets, and even at this early date much important legislative work has been planned for it to do. When a man prominent in affairs of the state was asked a few days ago what, in his opinion, was the most needed piece of legislation for the legislature to take up, he said: "Legislate to do no more legislation for some time to come. I mean by this that the state is already top heavy with laws and for the coming body to create more commissions and increase the salaries of those already created means that the tax payers are to be burdened almost beyond endurance with excessive taxation." However, the things that will get the right of wny before that body in the shape of new legislation is first and foremost the liquor question in some phase or another. A mighty effort will be made by the advocates of the liquor interest that the present law be let alone as it is already working very satisfactorily all over the state, and that seems to be the concensus of opinion among the more conservative business men. Under the present local option law, towns that have been considered most decidedly wet communities have gone dry, which is a strong indication that the law is a good one and should be let alone. The prohibition element of the legislature, however, is determined to push the question and endeavor to pass a county unit law and even take a whirl in passing a state wide prohibition law. The liability law will be another important issue that will be discussed with care and consideration and it is already the concensus of opinion that such a law will be passed early in the session. If this law is passed it will put out of business a great many attorneys who make a living out of the damage cases they succeed in getting. The old bugbear, the state's oyster lands. will be threshed over again for the steenth time, and the oyster land grabbers will make another effort to steal from the state her valuable oyster lands, but Governor Hay has his weather eye on the new measure and is already taking an active interest in it with the view of saving the lands if possible. Whether or not it will be given the right of way over the liquor question the writer verily doth not know, but the apportionment question will be a very much discussed one. If, however, the members of the legislature live up to the the SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the Sentate constitution there need not be a single speech made on the subject. Wherever the census shows the increase of population there the increase in the apportionment should fall, and that, too, without regard to county or community. As has already been pointed out in these columns W. H. Paulhamus, of Pierce county, will be chosen president of the senate, and that, too, without opposition, and Howard D. Taylor will likewise be elected speaker of the house of representatives without opposition and the session will begin in perfect harmony, but thus far and no further, with the bare exceptions of an appropriation for the expenses of the session, as it is certain a good warm fight will be precipitated as soon as both houses have been organized and the governor will have read his message to the join session. THE PROHIBITION SIDE The following from the American Issue of which Boyd P. Doty is the Washington state editor, will give the reader some idea of the Prohibition side of the coming session of the Washington legislature: On January 9th, the legislature will convene. As soon thereafter as bills can be introduced, an amendment to the present local option law will be introduced, providing for the right of the voters of the state to vote by the county, so that the liquor question, instead of being referred to the municipalities separately, may be settled by the voters of the county at a single election. Other amendments to the local option law, to provide for better law enforcement, will also be proposed. These proposed amendments raise out of the application of the law during the last eighteen months and will be the result of the suggestions by a number of the prosecuting attorneys of the state who have been called upon to enforce the law. The third amendment will be to include the manufacture as well as the sale of liquor under the effect of a county option vote. Every one of these three proposed amendments will be most bitterly opposed by the liquor lobby. Geo. W. H. Davis, who for years has been known as the political manager for the brewers of Washington, will be on hand to look after the interests of the brewers and the rum sellers. He will --- FRIDAY, January 6, 1911 [Name] H. D. TAYLOR, Speaker of the House EGISLATURE have plenty of helpers. We need not worry about whether their side will get a fair show. We can depend upon Mr. Davis and those whom he represents to look after their own interests. It is the business of the masses of the voters of this state to see that each legis.ator is made aware of the fact that that his constituency is strongly in favor of these amendments, with strong emphasis upon the county unit and law enforcement provisions. There will be many vigorous county unit fighters in the next house and senate. There will be a number of men who have espoused the saloon cause and who are sent to the legislature with the express purpose of defending the liquor traffic. They will oppose every amendment which in any way places the saloon at the mercy of the voters. There will be a third class of men who are either "doubtful"—but not sure of their ground—or who have never thought about the real merits of any kind of local option law, or who are indifferent to the whole subject of liquor or anti-liquor legislation, or who are waiting to see on which side the majority are, in order that they may cast their lot with that majority. These are the three classes of legislators. Every Christian and temperance voter in the state ought immediately to write a letter to his senator or representative and tell him that the people want the county unit law. Tell him once, twice or half a dozen times, until the strong become vigorous in their efforts in behalf of the amendment and until the "doubtful," hesitating, weak man may become sure of his position and enter vigorously into the fight. The legislature has been elected; the members cannot be changed; but the views of many of them are not yet fixed on this question. Let every man or woman entitled to vote immediately "get busy." Every good member of the legislature has a right to know that he has the backing of the temperance forces of the state. Every saloon defender should know where he stands with his constituency, and every week man should have his backbone stiffened up. There will be no avoiding the fight in the next legislature. It is as sure to come as the legislature is to open. Political history will be made by the legislature of 1911 and in the campaign of 1812, the history of the campaign of 1910 will be repeated and many men who fight in the (Continued on Page 7) --- HE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN WESTON STATE LEGISLATURE OF 1914 THE SENATE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE 1909 E.

January 6. 1911 The House. 5 ITICS AND THE POL CITY POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS the troubles that befall the mayors of Seattle, they do not seem inclined to enter such a contest, lest they actually win and are thereby politically ruined. It does not seem necessary for the position of mayor of Seattle to cause the political ruin of any one and we believe it is all tommy rot. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN in this connection is suggesting the name of William Pitt Trimble as a suitable candidate to oppose Mayor Gill and in so doing, it is with the belief that, he will be able to unite all of the opposing elements and even do more, be able to marshal a large part of the women voters under his banner. You will have to explain nothing about Mr. Trimble should he decide to become a candidate. However, it is not believed even by the publisher hereof that, he will permit the use of his name, if it is going to be a pull dick, pull devil of a campaign between the recall advocates, for the game is not worth the candle. Mr. Trimble is one of the heavy property owners of the city and has always been more or less public spirited. That he has the good of the city at heart is shown by the course he has persued in the past, and therefore, if nominated and elected, he will endeavor to give the city a most excellent administration. Among other persons that have been mentioned in connection with the nomination as against Mayor Gill is George W. Dilling. Aught in a business way cannot be said against Mr. Dilling, for he has ever been as loyal to the best interest of Seattle as any man within her gates, but Dilling, using the words of a rather prominent business man, "has been politically crazy ever since the Preston senatorial campaign and he simply would be beaten out of his boots by Gill." He won't do. The registration books are now open for business and each person with the right to vote should go up to the city hall and register without delay. If you expect to vote for or against the recall of Mayor Gill you have only twenty-two days in which to register in order that you can do so. The election has been set by the city council for February 7th and for that reason the registration books for that particular election will have to close January 28th. Let us suggest to the women voters that while they are down town looking at the bargain counters, they run up to the city hall to register and you will see a rush there that will do your heart good, and yet you will find you will get waited on a good deal sooner than at one of the dry MEN BUILDING SEA NG SEATTLE THE MEN BUILDING SEATTLE THE MEN BUILDING SEATTLE Horace P.

That it will be a warm one nobody in Seattle now doubts because the men supporting Gill know or believe it is their only hope to run a wide open town, in which a favored few can get in their graft by giving the thieves and thugs permission to rob and kill semi-respectable people who visit the tenderloin section of the city, just so they divide up the spoils with a select few of the city officials and those outsiders who are in on the deal. A great many advocates of Mayor Gill still cling to the belief that he is honest and that he eas not shared in the grafts that have been going on in the city since he was inaugurated as the chief executive of the city, but if he is, then he must be a darn fool. Any sane man could have seen at a moment's glance that, if things proceeded as they were for a while under Mayor Gill, it meant the overthrow of the mayor, and if he is honest and has not shared in the rake off then Chief Wappenstein and Colonel Blethen must have something else on him equally as bad as taking a part of the graft, or as said above he is a darn fool. Some time ago in talking to J. R. Grant, one of the men who did as much or more for the election of Gill than any one else, said, "I believe Gill is honest, but for the life of me I cannot see who he holds on to Wappenstein. Surely, surely, there must be something rotten in Denmark, and yet I still believe in the integrity of Gill." As has Mr. Grant said, so has hundreds of persons of equal prominence in the affairs of the city, and yet in the face of their counsel and the unanimous recommendations of the city council Mayor Gill has persistently stuck to Wappy and Colonel Blethen and they seem to run the administration. The link that binds Gill to those who have brought him to political ruin and social disgrace must be more than the ordinary link, by which men are bound together for political and social reasons, it must be the link that hermetically seals the mouth of all those who forged the link. --- Much speculation has been indulged in by the general public as to a fitting successor to Mayor Gill and the names of a great many persons have been discussed in this connection, many of whom would moke able and conscientious public official, if they would permit the use of their names, but, owing to The special edition of The Seattle Republican Building Seattle," was issued January 1, and every one it pronounce it one of the most attractive as well as in numbers ever published in the Northwest.

Have no hesitancy, but walk in the registration room just like a man and you will find plenty of persons there to instruct you where to go to have your name put on the registration books that will entitle you to vote at the next election. You who are silly about telling your age, do not have to do so, but just take the oath that you are of legal age. It is all so simple and so soon over that after you have gone through with the performance you will wonder why you ever hesitated. Never mind trying to think about the ward and precinct that you live in as the clerks and attendants will tell you all that, just so you remember the number of the house you live in and the street it is on. Go register today. Already those seeking council nominations are getting into line for the fight and it begins to look as is that will be the political fight of the city. The Times is loading itself to fight all candidates that stand for common decency in city affairs and especially those already in the council that have exposed the rottenness of the Gill administration. ( Continued from Page 4 ) legislature of 1911 to protect the saloon instead of the people will be left at home, as there were many of the leading fighters for the saloon in 1909 left at home by the voters in the campaign of 1910. This it no time to dally, no time to play, no time to hesitate. This is the time for vigorous activity. This is the time to make our wants and wishes known and impress the legislature with what is undoubtedly the fact, and that is that the people of Washington are overwhelmingly in favor of the County Unit law. Many of the newspapers are friendly to the liquor interests. They are receiving larger amounts of money for big paid advertisements of beer and other liquors. Their sympathies are with their patrons who pay them large sums of money. We cannot expect much support from them, in fact, we must expect their positive opposition. They will have no good reason for their opposition except "Let well enough alone, keep the liquor question out of politics," and all that kind of silly twaddle. We shall need to depend for our fighting forces upon the churches and granges, the W. C. T. U. and kinnred organizations that are fighting for clean legislation and the overthrow of the rum power in the state. Upon the activity of these fighting forces will depend in a large measure the results of the legislative campaign.
