HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - - - Publisher BUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - - Associat VALE TILLMANISM Tillmanism in South Carolina has run its race and inch by inch is being crushed to death of its weight. According to the press dispatches James H. Tillman, once lieutenant governor of South Carolina, and who with his notorious brother Ben R. Tillman, completely domineered the politics of that state, is dying of tuberculosis, and that, too, unattended save by a nurse and without the soothing hand or words of a man, woman or child that once took their turns for an opportunity to only touch the hem of his garment. Even Ben R. Tillman, still nominally United State senator from the state, is almost forgotten and in his sickness, which has silenced his cantankerous mouth, the public seems to be of the opinion that the country is well rid of bad rubbish. There is a divinity which shapes our ends and that divinity shapes them according to our own acts. If our acts be good our ends are likewise shaped, but if our acts be bad they are shaped bad. The Tillmans were not only liars and blackguards, but they were the despoilers of homes and the mudderers of innocent men, not alone innocent black men, but likewise innocent white men, and they murdered them because the men dared to differ from them and because they could do so with impunity, in view of the fact that the machinery of the law was in their hands, but its a long lane that has no turn and despite the fact that that brace of high handed murderers seemed to think the the road they had selected to travel had no turns or offsets for them, and instead of being directed by the hand of destiny they would themselves direct the hand of destiny, have suddenly come to the turn of the road, and just beyond the turn a fathomless abyss with its yawning and seething apperture, patiently awaits their coming and it will receive them in a manner becoming to all such foul mouth human vipers. The fight that Albert J. Goddard has made in the interest of the taxpayers of Seattle ought to entitle him to the vote of every one of them. Mr. Goddard ought to be one of the men to draw o three year term. One thing is certain should Dilling be elected mayor of Seattle he could do no worse than has Mayor Gill and any change must be for the better as things have gotten just as bad as they could be and still lay any claims to civilization. The issues in the recall election are alearly defined and they are decency on the one hand and indecency and lawlessness on the other. A vote for Gill means the latter without qualifications, while a vote for the former may mean an absolute change—its worth a trial. The mere fact that E. L. Blaine has been marked by the Seattle Daily Times to be driven out of the city, in which he has grown to manhood and middle life, and whose every act has been of honorableness in everybody's eyes, except the editor of the Times and those whose interest he advocates in the columns of his paper, ought to guarantee him an overwhelming election. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1911 Poor old Will E. he seems to have the Japanese scare as badly as he did the Tom Revelle fear in the primary election campaign, and that is saying a good deal. Ellensburg wants Uncle Sam to spend some of the irrigation money that has been appropriated by congress in her immediate vicinity, and to that end she is seeking aid of Seattle and other Puget Sound cities. If you are in doubt as to whether to vote for Gill or Dilling then observe the class of men advocating Gill and then the class that advocate Dilling, and if you have a spark of decency in you Dilling will be your choice at once. Sixty-eight persons are seeking eighteen nominations for city council and if all of them make a decent showing 5,000 votes will nominate. Just think of that number of votes nominating out of a registered vote perhaps of some seventy odd thousand. "I look upon E. W. Way as being the best councilman the Second ward has ever had, and by that I mean, he has been able to get more for the ward than any previous councilman," came from A. F. Haas, who is himself a candidate for councilman in the coming election. What's the use of holding the Gill recall election since in the morning, according to the paper, it is a Dilling town, and in the evening, it is a Gill town. We suggest that both Dilling and Gill be selected and the one serve in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon. Owing to the innumerable quibbles that may be injected into the courts af this country, Porter Charleton is still detained in the United States, when he should have been sent to Italy months ago, and had he, long erə this he would have received his just deserts—a noose around the neck. In Michigan, New York, New Jersey and Maine the Democratic ass is nosing the Republican elephant out of his seat in the United States senate and in each case it is an old time stand patter that is walking the gang plank and it is the concensus of opinion that, they are getting their just deserts. Mayor Gill says that he is honest and not only honest, but has never profited from the lawlessness of the city, if there has been any under his administration, and it is the belief of quite a few honorable men that he has not, but if he has not, then he is too near an imbecilic state to be mayor of so large a city. "You never hit the nail more squarely on the head than you did in the little editorial squib you had about myself in last week's issue," said Ole Hansen one day this week. "Now that I am out of quarantine I mean to make the welkin ring in the interest of George W. Dilling." Ole is a whole team when he gets in action and he is already in action. Burns, the San Francisco detective, has promised to run down the slayer of Chief of Police Sullivan who, was killed in Spokane some weeks ago. Burns has been on the track of the persons who blowed up the Los Angeles Times ever since it occurred and he has made no head way with it, and yet he is put on an even more mysterious case. It occurs to us that detective Burns every one he gets an opportunity. Because three children were born blind, the father of them is suing the mother for divorce on the grounds that the wife did not tell him that two of her brothers had been born blind. Poor fool, does he think that that woman or any other woman will go round with a brass band parading the deformities of some of the members of her family before the public, Then again, he married the girl and not her brothers. Such a man ought to be given a divorce from his wife and then sent to some reformatory for life and put at some kind of work, the fruits of which would go to the support of the wife and children until they become able to support themselves. VOLUME XVII, NUMBER 35 Reginald H. Thompson may have been the brains of the Moore administration, but it looks as if Alden J. Blethen is the push of the Gill administration. "A man often deserves praise for doing his duty," says an exchange. In our opinion that is a mistake. To do one's duty should never be deserving of praise from another. Stanley Ketchel's slayers got life imprisonment for their bloody act, and if the governors of that state will just forget them, the majesty of the law will have been fully vindicated. Killing Socialist on the part of the Japanese or any government will not stop the cult from spreading, but in all probability it will only make it spread more rapidly. The Daily Times has increased its membership club from ten thousand to thirty thousand, all of which is an easy thing for it to do if it is only paid money enough. The membership of the political clubs of the Times depends altogether upon how much money the Times and Murky Matt get from those in whose interests they are organizing the clubs. While you may be of the opinion that Dilling is not your ideal candidate for mayor, you must admit, unless you are a tenderloin habitue, that Mayor Gill is totally devoid of any of the qualifications that go to make up a mayor of a great city like Seattle. Sixty-eight men will seek to be one of eighteen, who will be nominated February 21, from which the voters will select nine councilmen two weeks later. The battle is rlready waxing warm and before it is over it will resolve itself into the greatest killkenny cat fight that the city has ever seen. John Drost, the Dutch boy, who shot and killed his father and wounded his sister, speaks like the average incorrigible youth that has been reared to have his way about things, and if that be true the father sowed to the winds and reaped a whirlwind. Spare the rod and spoil the child is still good sound children medicine for me and mine. The blind chaplain of the house of representatives of congress received a silver shower last Thursday, the occasion being the thirty-fifth anniversary of his wedding, and it was done at the suggestion of Mrs. Will E. Humphrey of Seattle. The Humphreys seem to be more liberal with their money in Washington City than they are in Seattle. In refusing to pass any deficiency bill the house of representatives of the twelfth legislature has done a most righteous act. Two years ago public officials were warned against creating deficiencies in their respective departments and in the face of that a large deficiency bill pokes up its head in the very beginning of the session and it has been accorded the treatment it deserved. The want-to-vote idea on the part of women is becoming so common that we would not be suprised if within the next four years every state in the Union will have enfranchised the women. The skunk who argued, even if given an opportunity to vote, the women would not take anvantage of it, must feel like a dog in the face to see the women of Seattle registering almost as rapidly as the men. "Wappenstein's Record Never Beaten," is a Times headline. In this, the Times and the Post-Intelligencer, though constitutionally opposed to each other on all issues, are in full accord. According to the P.-I. a few days prior, the record of Wappy is without a parallel throughout Chrisendom, but it was for criminality. Now the Times confirms the statement of the P.-I. and the citizens must be thoroughly convinced that Seattle and no other city in the world ever had a chief of police that was the equal of Charles W. Wappenstein. Who said Seattle was not a lucky dog? --- LING'S POLICY OUTLI DILLING'S POLICY OUTLINED police administration. Upon the reinstatement of Chief Wappenstein, the city council appointed a committee to investigate the police department, which committee made an exhaustive investigation, continuing for several weeks, taking upward of 3,000 pages of typewritten testimony. This testimony is now on file in the office of the city comptroller as a public record, open to the inspection of any citizen, but it is so voluminous, covers such a wide range of inquiry, and involves so much misstatement and falsehood on the part of those who were responsible for or profiting by he lax administration of the laws that it is a monumental task to sift out the true from the false, and Mayor Gill and his supporters are hiding behind the hope that the average voter will either not learn what the testimony proves, or can be deceived into disregarding its true significance as a terrific indictment of the real character of his police administration. It is impossible in a campaign like this to do more than touch blissly upon the character of this testimony. But there is in this transcript testimony by reliable witnesses, members of the police department and others, that the laws against gambling, prostitution, Sunday saloons and other evils were permitted to be violated under express instructions from the chief of police and his subordinate officers, that certain persons were allowed to violate laws while other persons were denied the privilege, that Capt. Claude Bannick, of the department, was told that if he didn't like this policy he could quit his job, that Sergt. Ryan reported a list of open gambling places and as a reward for his diligence was transferred to the Georgetown station. Policemen Are Punished. It shows that two patrolmen, Barton and Montgomery, for closing a Chinese gambling joint, were taken to task by their sergeant, and for closing Shomo's saloon on Sunday were disciplined by being transferred to the residence district. It shows that the very air of the tenderloin was clouded with rumors that law violations were permitted for money consideration, and there is a confusing wealth of testimony, much of it of a hearsay character, about the manner in which the graft was divided, and the channels through which it was transmitted to those who were permitted to receive it. Police officers testified that pool rooms were in operation in many places without police molestation, that several places were recognized by them as the rendezvous of disreputable male parasites living from the earnings of fallen women, and that the police were instructed not to arrest or disturb them. Deputy Sheriff John W. Roberts testified that more lawless characters have flocked to the city under the Gill administration than ever before in the history of the city. Law-Breakers Run to Gill's Firm. This testimony shows in many places that many of the lawbreakers protected by Mr. Gill's police department employed Mr. Gill's law firm as their attorneys, that that firm drew articles of incorporation for at least one notorious gambling club, that it defended suits in court which were brought to enforce the laws, that its members communicated the desires of law-breakers to the mayor himself, and that the mayor even acted on the desires of the law-breakers, thus conveyed to him, in disciplining police officers for doing their duty. Defended His Vice Policy. Mr. Hoyt and Mr. Frye, of the law firm of Gill, Hoyt & Frye, when called before the committee, declined to answer questions regarding the operations of their clients, even declining to answer the question whether their clients had ever paid money for police protection. Mayor Gill himself testified that he did not even know that there had been any gambling in the city. He expressed himself as satisfied with the work of the police department, admitted that it was upon his own instructions that the Arcade dance hall, of [Name] [Name] Ludovic and Berryman, was allowed to open and operate, and defended his policy of establishing a restricted district. "Even as late as last Sunday Mayor Gill said in his platform: "I have only one what I promised to do in making my campaign last spring, and I reaffirm all that I then stated. I have been satisfied with the work of the police department throughout, and until much more has been demonstrated than has been up to date, I shall, so far as is within my power, maintain the department as it is. "I have every confidence in its integrity and in its efforts to co-operate with me in giving the city such an administration as the department hoped to be able to do." 2 The paramount issue of this campaign is the issue of civic decency, law and order, against civic indecency and protected lawlessness, the best business against the worst. The platform I have issued in the campaign has been criticised by some of Mayor Gill's friends because of its brevity, but as I had nothing to explain or excuse there is no reason why it should have been any longer. I stated in it that I would stand consistently for the enforcement of the law, conduct the affairs of the different departments of the city upon a business basis and that I would not make appointments to office for political reasons. The platform of my opponent fills several newspaper columns and consists chiefly of apologies, excuses and explanations, but regardless of its length, and even though he should occupy an equal amount of space in his newspaper organ each day between now and election day, he has not explained, and cannot explain or excuse his official delinquencies to the law-abiding, home-loving people of this city. Charges Against Gill. The recall petition directed against my opponent is based upon these charges against him and his administration: "That during the time Hiram C. Gill has been mayor he has shown himself to be incompetent and unfit for the position he occupies. "That he has abused the appointive power by selecting, for political reasons, men personally unfit for the offices for which they were appointed. "That he has refused and neglected to perform his official duty as mayor, and has failed and refused to enforce the criminal laws. "That he has permitted the city to become a refuge for the criminal classes." Please note that this indictment makes certain grave charges, among them incompetence, disloyalty, neglect of duty, violation of his oath of office, harboring law-violators and making the city a harbor of refuge for the criminal classes. Upon this indictment the administration of Mayor Gill is now on trial before the voters of Seattle. Gill's Promises All Broken. While a candidate for mayor a year ago Mr. Gill announced, night after night, in all his campaign speeches, that if elected he would enforce the laws, that he would not permit public gambling, that he would not permit saloons to sell liquor on Sunday or after 1 o'clock; that, while he would establish a restricted district, it would be in a remote location, difficult to find except by the person looking for it. Each and every one of these promises has been flagrantly and notoriously violated. A restricted district was established, not in a remote district, but in the old location south of Jackson street, where tens of thousands of citizens had to pass through it daily. Attention to this location was called by great clusters of electric lights, open gambling was countenanced, crib houses were permitted, and in many resorts liquor was permitted to be sold without the formality of obtaining a license. Accords Gambling Privileges. The gambling privilege was at first given to friends and cronies of the mayor under the guise of social clubs, the most notorious of which, the Northern Club, was incorporated under articles drawn by the law firm of which the mayor was a member before his election. Some of the incorporators of this club were almost daily associates of Mayor Gill, the treasurer being Clarence Gerald, the proprietor of a restaurant at which it was the practice of the mayor to lunch nearly every day. It is now established by the sworn testimony of credible witnesses that this club operated openly and notoriously for fifty-four days, attracting victims by the hundreds, and was unmolested by police officers acting under instructions from their superiors. Other testimony given the council investigating committee indicates that the revenues from this house were "cut four ways," and that "$0 per cent of it was given up for protection." Enter Ludovic and Berryman. Another coterie of panderers to vice, among them Berryman and Ludovic, were permitted, by the express instructions of Mayor Gill, to open and operate a vile dance hall, the revenues from which amounted to $2,000 a night, while the same privilege was denied to other persons not enjoying such close relations with the administration. In another location, the Tokio house, a disgraceful dive inhabited by negro prostitutes, was permitted, according to the testimony of reliable police officers, to become a refuge for pickpockets, who were permitted to ply their occupation free from police molestation. Wardall Uncovers Crime. Along in September Mayor Gill went to Alaska on a pleasure trip, the guest of certain political supporters who were profiting by the lax enforcement of the laws under his administration, and Chief of Police Wappenstein took a trip to California. During their absence conditions were found by Acting Mayor Wardall to be so disgraceful that Wardall ordered gambling closed and a suit was instituted by the Public Welfare League to compel the enforcement of laws against the restricted district, established and protected by Mayor Gill's administration. The court ordered the Berryman-Ludovic dance hall closed and issued an injunction against the maintenance of the vice district. Sheriff Raids Gambling Houses. Deputy Sheriff Roberts raided a Chinese gambling joint along in September, arresting ninety men found collected there, although his deputies were refused the co-operation of officers of the police department. He also raided Shomo's gambling house, which had long been protected by the police department. As a result of these outside activities, the work of the Public Welfare League, the orders issued by the courts, the efforts of the sheriff and other influences, the conditions which had been permitted and encouraged by Mayor Gill and his police department have been slightly improved, and just at this time, while Mayor Gill is a candidate for re-election he is on his good conduct. Still Sticks to Vice District. But even now, while he is going about among you, making more fair promises of good conduct, he proclaims in his message to the city council, published only yesterday, that if he is re-elected it is his intention, if possible, to make such arrangements with the county officers as will permit him to carry out the plans of his political sponsors and supporters to open up the new restricted district selected, improved and owned by the vice syndicate. Not satisfied with this, Mayor Gill asks the city council to provide him with an increased number of police officers, in order that he may have a larger number for use in driving the denizens of the underworld into the new district, where they may become patrons of and contribute to the revenues of the vice syndicate, the members of which are among his most loyal and useful supporters in this campaign. Stands by Wappenstein. During the absence of Mayor Gill in Alaska Acting Mayor Wardall, after investigating conditions in the police department, removed Chief of Police Wappenstein. Immediately upon his return, and without either investigation or hearing, Mayor Gill reinstated Wappenstein, and ever since that time has given his unreserved indorsement and approval of every act and policy of the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Open Violation of Law. Policemen Are Punished. Pool Rooms Unmolested. Law-Breakers Run to Gill's Firm. Defended His Vice Policy. GEORGE W. DILLING FRIDAY. January 27. 1911 Mr. Gill's statement that he is satisfied with the outrageous police administration he has given this city is a sufficient and absolute demonstration of his unfitness to occupy the office of mayor of this city. Will Drive Out "Pink Cuff" Gentry. Now I shall state, as briefly and concisely as I can, the policy I will pursue when I am elected mayor. My first act will be to discharge Wappenstein and appoint an honest and efficient chief of police in his place. The great majority of the members of the department are themselves honest and efficient and want to enforce the laws. With such a chief and such a police department there are certain definite things I know I can accomplish. First, I know that I can drive from the city every man who lives from the earnings of a fallen woman. There is not a single man of that description in the city of Seattle who is not definitely known to the men of the police department and every one of them can be compelled to leave the city. I shall see that they are all driven out immediately, and the crib-house women will vacate the city in company with their male companions. Will Protect Residence District. Second, I know that by an honest and vigorous attempt to enforce the laws I can absolutely prevent the scattering of prostitutes in the residence or apartment house sections of the city, and I shall drive them out of those sections of the city if I have to put a policeman in every block. I know that the council will support me in such a policy and that it will give me the force necessary to accomplish this end. At present, and throughout the entire administration of Mayor Gill, houses of prostitution have been more widely scattered in the residence districts than ever before in the history of the city. His excuse for running a restricted district has always been that thereby he was able to confine the fallen women to a district remote from the homes of the people, but he has never made more than a pretense of doing so. Houses of the vilest imaginable description have flourished in all sections of the city under the protection of his police department, and his restricted district has been maintained merely as a place where vice might flourish in a more concentrated and unlicensed form, so as to increase the revenues of his political friends and supporters. I shall make it the first business of my administration to see that such conditions are completely and finally abolished. I am not valn or foolish enough to believe that it will be possible for me to completely eradicate the social evil, but I propose to make an earnest and determined effort to reduce it to a minimum. I believe that by devoting a reasonable amount of the police energy of the city to that purpose I can put an end to the days of open and notorious vice in Seattle, and I shall certainly try to do so. Gill Is Defying the Courts. In this connection I want to say that I will not establish or permit the police department to establish a restricted district, nor any district within which the violation of the laws will be countenanced and encouraged by the police. The voters of this city should remember that the establishment of a restricted district is not an issue in this campaign. That question has been removed from the domain of politics by the action of the superior court of King county in issuing an injunction directed to the mayor and police department and city officials of the city forbidding the establishment, maintenance or recognition of such a district, and when Mayor Gill goes before the people of this city, as he is now doing, and says that he proposed to re-establish such a district by making an arrangement with the county officials to do so he is proposing to violate the order of the courts and is thereby espousing the cause of anarchy. As a member of the legislature of 1903 I had the pleasure of voting for the enactment of the felony gambling law, and when I am elected mayor I shall take even greater pleasure in seeing that it is enforced. Men arrested for operating gambling games during my administration will not be turned loose the next day upon payment of a small fine or without prosecution. The law makes the conducting of a gambling denitentary, and I want every gambler in the city game a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the of Seattle to understand that I am going to see that the provision of the law enforced. Will Play No Favorites. Furthermore, I will enforce the laws against the sale of liquor after i o'clock and on Sunday, and I will play no favorites in that particular. It shall never be justly said of my administration, as it is now truthfully said of Mayor Gill's, that certain saloonkeepers are permitted to violate these laws while others are prosecuted. I shall treat them all alike. If they make a reasonable and honest effort to obey the law they will not be molested, but if they do not obey it they need expect no leniency from me. In general, so far as the enforcement of the police ordinances of the city are concerned, I propose to see that every member of the police department is made to realize that it is his duty to make an honest effort to suppress lawlessness in every form, and not to countenance or encourage it in any section of the city. No Trafficking With Lawless. There will be no trafficking with criminals in my administration. It shall be my consistent policy to enforce the laws in order that this may be made a clean, decent and orderly city in which to live and to bring up a family free from the contaminating influences of protected vice. In the civil and financial conduct of my office, I shall use my best endeavor to give the city a business-like and economical administration. I shall give immediate attention to the lighting department and I shall see that its affairs are placed in charge of a man who will run it for the benefit of the people of this city and who will not ignorantly or deliberately conduct its affairs in such a way as to serve the interests of its commercial rival, the Seattle Electric Company. Says Taxes Are Too High. I shall exercise all of the powers of my office to prevent extravagant expenditures of the public money. Taxes are too high in the city of Seattle, and it is time a determined effort was made to cut down expenditures and reduce the levy. Imperative improvements will not be stopped, but I shall relentlessly veto every special improvement ordinance that is not an immediate necessity. I am going to put forth the best effort that lies in my power to make such a record in the office of mayor that when I leave the office I can do so with a clear conscience and with a feeling that I have done my full duty by the people of this city, both in the conduct of their civil business and in the administration of the laws that were enacted for the protection and the promotion of the moral well-being of the city. That is the substance of my platform and I shall keep the pledge in everything that it implies. [Name] WILLIAM H. MURPHY from H. Murphy has been a mem- ber of those years representing tha- t declare his intention of see- ny of the most influential citi- ing daily papers, and from them if he concluded to be a candid daily papers are openly suppe- ll do likewise as soon as the re- ly said a few days ago, "M turn," and it likewise predict rm. Since he has been a mem- erest of the whole city, yet he be said without fear of succes Despite the fact that William H. Murphy has been a member of the city council of Seattle for the past eleven years, eight of those years representing the Ninth ward and the other three councilman-at-large, yet he did not declare his intention of seeking a nomination under the new charter until he had consulted many of the most influential citizens of the city, and among them the proprietor of one of the leading daily papers, and from them his candidacy received the heartiest approval and he was told that, if he concluded to be a candidate he would receive their untiring support. Already two of the daily papers are openly supporting his candidacy and it is quite probable that the third one will do likewise as soon as the mayorality fight is out of the way. The Seattle Star editorially said a few days ago, "Murphy made an enviable record in the city council and merits a return," and it likewise predicted, he would be one of the three members drawing a three year term. Since he has been a member of the council he has used his best efforts to further the best interest of the whole city, yet he has not overlooked the improvements of the north end and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that no ward has received greater attention than the Ninth. "I would like to see Billy Murphy mayor of Seattle," said a well known newspaperman one day this week, "but not being able, under the conditions to see that, I am for him for the council, and all because I am satisfied that he has done all that any human being could do for the city of Seattle." Three years ago when he ran for councilman-at-large the popularity of the man was demonstrated by him getting the biggest vote of any of the candidates seeking such nomination. It was his fiast attempt to go before the whole city, but the returns, as said above, showed that he was just as popular all over the city as he was in his own ward, and that of itself proves beyond a reasonable doubt that, the voters have implicit confidence in his integrity and uprightness. FRIDAY. January 27. 1911 PERSONS IN THE PUBLIC EYE Perhaps Dilling and Gill in the present municipal campaign of Seattle are not indulging in a whirlwind campaign, but the cartoonist in the P.-I. and the Times respectively advocating them are doing the stunt and doing it with a vengeance. Daddy Clayson, he of ye old time dance hall fame, accuses the editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN of being a "dirty nigger," and it was only the day previous that we paid a wheel for a turkish bath. Either the bath house fiend cheated us out of a dollar or Daddy Clayson lied. George E. Bradley, who a few days ago announced he would run for councilmanic nomination, has decided he will not be a candidate and will leave tomorrow (Saturday). for a California trip and go on from there to Hot Springs, Arkansas, and enjoy a good vacation. This will be his first vacation in thirty-five years. James A. Moore, the well known Seattle builder and promoter has sailed for London, where he will complete arrangements for raising ten million dollars for the Western Iron and Steel plant located at Irondale. In case he is successful, and there no longer seems to be any doubt of it, the Northwest will get the greatest boost that it has ever had. It would be quite a joke on the jarring factions of the Republico-Demo stand patters if Dr. Edwin J. Brown, the Socialist, should be elected mayor of Seattle. If Mayor Gill is so anxious to debate the issues of the municipal campaign with some mayorality aspirant, we suggest that he cackle Dr. Brown and if he does not come off second best, then we will vote and work for Gill. Isham F. Norris, who has filed for one of the councilmanic nomination in Seattle, was for four years a member of the state senate of Tennessee, and that, too, under Democratic rule. He has been a resident of Seattle for the past eight years and is the owner of an express and delivery business. He is a liberalist in his political affiliations, having abandoned the old party ideas some years ago. James D. Hoge, who is the busiest man in the whole Northwest just now, says his banking house will move into its temporary quarters the first of March, when the old building will be at once razed to the ground and the new structure begun. He says the bank will return to its new quarters November first, and that when the building is completed it will be the most modern block on the Pacific Coast and it will be eighteen instead of sixteen stories. Mayor Angelo V. Fawcett, of Tacoma, who is being threatened with recall proceedings, rises to remark, "if the higher ups are waging this recall war on me because they fear I will be a candidate for governor and thereby upset some of their plans. they can lay aside their fears as I will never again be a candidate for governor," but the opposition, however, is taking no chances and pushing the recall along with a uengeance. The Tacoma recall fight will be even more spirited than the one in Seattle—and that is saying a good deal. Frank Balcom, a young man of Seattle, we suspect, was often told by his parents that he was sowing to the winds and unless he mended his ways he would reap a whirlwind, which proved true, as he was shot and killed in a restaurant row in Fulton, Ky, a few days ago. The story has all been told repeatedly in the daily papers, but to the young men, who get it in their heads that they know it all, the story cannot be told too often. There is nothing gained in being a bully for sooner or later the bully will be sure to get all and more than is coming to him. Will E. Humphrey, representatieu in Congress from the first congressional district of Washington, seems to be rapidly developing into an alarmist. His recent statement in a public speech that the Japanese government could send a hostile fleet to the Pacific Coast and capture all of the big cities including the Mare Island and Puget Sound naval stations and fortify the mountain passes leading to the eastern sections of the country and hold this territory indefinite before 75,000 troops could be gotten together for defense, reads like one of the tales from the Arabian nights. If all of the citizens fought as poorly as does Humphrey there would be no doubt of it. He has a a Japanese nightmare that he does not seem ahle to shake off. W. C. Jones, better known as Wheat Chart Jones, has preferred charges against Judge Frank H. Rudkin with the view of defeating his confirmation as district judge for Eastern Washington. Wheat Chart has always been a general disturber with no good and sufficient reasons for so being, and in this he is but keeping up his record. J. A. Ballargeon. the well known dry goods prince of Seattle, who a few days ago retired from business, which was one of the largest dry goods business in the Northwest, has filed for one of the councilmanic nominations. It was the seven days' wonder, why Ballargeon quit the business and now it is all self explanatory, he wanted to get into politics and run for office. It is a fascinating game Mr. B. and if you can work yourself up to liking it you may become a great politician and not only be nominated and elected to the city council of Seattle, but may perhaps be governor of the state and then perhaps go to congress or to the United States senate. Go to it. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN W. W. Black, superior court judge of Snohomish county, who made the Democratic run for congress, against Will E. Humphrey, and who was so badly handled in the debates with his opponent, is in danger of being cited before the legislature to explain, why he, dispenser of the law, does not himself obey the law. Judge Black has stubbornly refused to don a silk gown when he goes on the superior court bench and the members of the legislature are not pleased with his version of the law. W. R. Crawford, president of the Renton Southern railway company, left for the East one day last week and it is being bruited about the street that the bondholders of the road have summoned him east to explain, why the road is in the condition it is. The bondholders, if Crawford when he gets before them, shows any of the disposition he has shown in Seattle, when doing business with business men, will soon discover that he is nothing more or less than a little pigheaded shrimp that has the fitness for a track walker instead of a director of a railway system. 3 POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS 4 AN ENGLISHMAN'S VIEW When the officers of the American fleet were entertained recently at the London Guildhall, Commander Sims made a striking speech on the relations between the two countries. If, said he, the British Empire were ever seriously threatened, it could count on every man, every dollar, and every drop of blood of the kindred nation across the Atlantic. The speech was enthusiastically applauded by both sections of the company, but Commander Sims, is now, it appears, to be hauled over the coals for it. President Taft's attention has been called to it as a breach of the regulation which forbids officers publicly to discuss foreign politics. It is true that he prefaced his remarks by saying that he was only expressing his personal opinion, but the technical violation has been committed nevertheless. It is expected that the gallant commander will receive a mild reprimand. Probably, (so it is said) his offense would have gone unnoticed had Germany not made a protest. That Power is alleged to have considered the speech a studied affront resulting from the difference between her and the United States over the potash qustion. The "studied affront theory is very far.fetched. In itself the notion that America, in order pettishly to irritate Germany, would incite a naval commander to use the words referred to at a London entertainment is scarcely tenable. Besides that it is unnecessary. Considering how much we and the Americans have in common, there is nothing more natural than that we should, especially at festive boards, give expressions to feelings of undying friendship. Blood is thicker than water, and a good deal more stimulating than potash. When there is blood as an explanation of the situation, why fall back on potash? In sober truth, though it is not the business of naval officers to let their assurances of affection go so far as promises of military support. Commander Sims was only saying what a good many people in both countries believe, and a good many more hope. We certainly count ourselves among the latter. An indisoluble friendship between oursolver and the Americans would tend greatlr to promote the peaceful progress of the world.—Belfast (Ireland) Telegraph. JUSTICE WHITNEY Justice Edward Baldwin Whitney's death is very deplorable. After serving a year on the baneh of the Court by appointment of Governor Hughes for the unexpired term of Judge Gildersleeve, he had just been appointed by Governor White to fill another unexpired term, that of the late Justice Dayton. The appointment gave great satisfaction to lawyers and other persons interested in keeping on the bench men highly qualified to be judges. His sudden death is a severe disappointment as well as a grave public loss. Justice Whitney belonged to the intellectual aristocracy of the country. His father was William Dwignt Whitney, the famous philolgist, long a member of the Yale faculty. his mother was a sister of Simon E. Balwin, the present governor of Connecticut. His wife, the mother of his five children, it may be added, is a daughter of the late Simon Newcomb, the astronomer. He did credit to his stock and his associations, and since he graduated from Yale in the same class (1878) with President Taft, has come steadily along in the profession of law by dint of hard work and superior ability.—Harper's Weekly. WILWAUKEE'S SENSIBLE MAYOR It has remained for the Socialistic mayor of Milwaukee—recognizing the fact that dancing is a natural and healthful exercise, and helps to educate in poise, ease and grace of movement—to provide proper and pleasant places and first-class music for such enjoyment. "Municipal" dances under watchful care and instruction. Now what city will uplift the picture show into an educational factor? There are great possibilities along these lines for good of the young people and children. Give them the recreation that appeals to them, in clean atmosphere and under proper conditions. Milwaukee's mayor will find his sentiments on dancing ably seconed by a book on the subject which Dr. Luther H. Gulick of New York has just published. Dr. Gulick believes that "dancing should be made a regular part of education" and gives physiological reasons why it is "the best form of exercise" for the youth. This is a good topic for woman's clubs to consider.—San Francisco Star. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN AS TO THE REFERENDUM Advocates of the referendum have made much of the fact that Mr. Balfour recently recommended that their plan of dealing with public questions be applied to the tariff issue as it presents itself to the people of Great Britain. That such a proposal could be made by the leader of the Conservative party has seemed to them a remarkable illustration of the growing popularity of their idea. Others may incline to view it as a remarkable illustration of the readiness of parties to take any course that may seem to promise success at the pol[s]; but Mr. Balfour would have hardly have seized upon the referendum idea, even in the emergency in which he and his party found themselves, if the idea had not been in the air. It is in the air on this side also. A good many of our public men are committed to it. Some of our communities have already adopted it. It is being pretty widely demanded, and the opposition to it seems to be unorganized and by no means aggressive. The movement for it is strong enough to demand a more thoughtful attention than it is getting. For the referendum is one of those political devices which, however clearly useful and commendable they be within reasonable limits, are quite as clearly in need of having those reasonable limits definedr There seem to be questions which it is practicable and advisable to refer to all the voters. Such references are easier and more natural in cerain kinds of communities than in others. We should say, for instance, that there is a much wider field for the referendum in our larger cities, whose citizens do not get themselves well represeeted in their municipal legislatures and where questions of universal interest frequently arise, than there is either in smaller communities, such as the towns and villages or in the states or the nation. But even in the cities it will not do to have a referendum every other day. Government entirely by referendum would hardly be practicable even if we were quite willing to give up the idea of representation altogether and attempt pure democracy.--Harper's Weekly. TAFT AND 1912 It is not surprising that the first declaration for Taft in 1912 should come from a Southern state, or that it should be joined with praise of him as "a national and not a sectional president." He has amply earned that commendation. The North Carolina State Committee which thus started the movement for his renomination claims to speak for nine-tenths of the Republicans of the state. Congressman Dalzell announces that Pennsylvania will also be for Taft when the time comes, and while it is doubtful if so large a proportion of Pennsylvania Republicans would accept Dalzell as their spokesman, it is quite probable that his prediction will come true. Good observers declare that the president is gaining rather than losing strenth in the West also, particularly in comparison with his predecessor. The great mistakes of his administration came early, and he has already had time to make the beginning of a recovery. He has had time to accomplish fome really constructive work, and the general integrity of his motives is daily becoming plainer even to those who have criticised him most severely. More than to years of his term is still left to him. We shall be greatly surprised if, before they have passed, his party does not come to the conclusion that to throw him over would be a blunder of the first magnitude.—Harper's Weekly. Some years ago Councilman Gill charged Rev. Mark A. Mstthews of the First Presbyterian church of Seattle of having run a crap dive in Tennessee from whence he came, but Dr. Matthews being very Godlike, overlooked the dirty accusation, and not only overlooked it, but extended the right hand of fellowship to Mr. Gill, which was accepted, and the two for the time being smoked the pipe of peace. Recently, however, Dr. Matthews again felt called upon to criticise Mayor Gill and again Hi Gill used language about him that would make anybody but a true Christian man fight and fight like the very devil. Some of these days somebody won't do a thing to Hi Gil when he makes such vulgar attacks on them. A SOCIALIST VICTORY The Socialist journal "Humanite" publishes an interview with Sir Charles Dilke, who, according to the report, again affirms that the result of the British elections is a Socialist victory. The Lords, he says, FRIDAY January 27. 1911 no longer doubt this, and will yield. There is no doubt their vote on the suppression of the Veto will be a simple bowing to the will of the electors. They will not take the responsibility for a fresh crisis at the moment of the Imperial conference. It would be impossible for them to carry their own reorganization proposals, which the Commons could not admit. Sir Charles continues that personally he will be satisfied with the suppression of the Veto. Finally, he thinks the Protectionists will be glad to be rid of the Lord's question, which prevents them doing anything as long as it remains open There is no longer room for any compromise on the Veto question, but Sir Charles would willingly discuss Home Rule with the Conservatives. He repeats that the Liberals will go a long way in the realization of their social program.—Reuter's (Paris) Telegram. DILLING IN THE LEGISLATURE Some one has been looking up the legislative record of George W. Dilling and the following has been put down in his favor: Voted on each and every ballot for Harold Preston for United States senator, even casting his final vote for Preston after more than a majority of the King county members had violated their platform pledges by deserting him. Voted for House Bill No. 90, providing for an eight hour day on all public work. Voted for House Bill No. 35, forbidding trusts and monopolies. Bill failed of enactment. Voted for House Bill No. 94, providing for a state railroad commission. Bill defeated in the senate. Voted for House Bill No. 145, local option bill. Vetoed by the governor. Voted for House Bill No. 147, making it a felony to operate gambling games. Voted foa House Bill No. 187, direct primary law. Bill failed of enactment. Voted for House Bill No. 309, making it a felony to live off the earnings of a fallen woman. His record in the legislature, however, has little or nothing to do with his running the city of Seattle and yet it to an extent it gives you some idea of the calbre of man you are going to elect February 7th as mayor of Seattle for the ensuing year. PAID ADVETISEMENTS Clarence D. Hillmanis sued so often these days that he must feel as though something awful has gone wrong if a day passes without some kind of legal pa- pers being served upon him. To one up a tree it looks as if the most of the suits filed against him are noth- ing short of malicious persecution. ape Bishop A. Grant of the A. M. E. church and of this diocese died at his home in Kansas City, Kansas, last Sunday. He had been ill for many months and only afew days before he died his wife suddenly died, which no doubt hastened his end. He was well and favorably known in the Northwest and his death was the cause of general regret. Spe J. Edward Hawkins, a well known Seattle attor- neys, left last week for Southern California, where he will sojourn some six weeks or more. For months his health has been rapidly delining and he was finally tcld by his physicians that nothing short of absolute rest in another climate would prolong his life. He was accompanied by his wife. geal If the jurors who tried Mrs. Martina Kvalshaugh for murder acquitted her on the grounds of her being a woman though they were convinced she was guilty, then each member of the jury should be arrested and convicted of perjury. The human being guilty of a heinous crime should be found guilty and neither sex, color or condition stould play any part in an acquital, and the jurvman that permits either of those things te influence him into a verdict is guilty of perjury and should himself be sent to prison for the full limit of the law. mie petal At a meeting of prominent representatives of suf- frage clubs in Tacoma, Seattle and Aberdeen at 803 Summit ave., Seattle on Tuesday January 24th, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: RESOLVED, That this assembly undertake the formation of a joint committee, consisting of one rep- resentative from each of the suffrage clubs cf the state, with the view of the defending of women voters against all persons who spread untrue statements or impressions regarding any control of the votes of women in favor of any particular candidate or party.

The present visit is part of his gigantic world tour, during which the band will travel over 25,000 miles, visiting Egypt, South Africa, Arabia, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Altogether in Great Britain, Sousa is togive 120 concerts, visiting 64 provincial towns, besides London. In Ireland he will play in both Dublin and Belfast, on February 15th and 16th respectively. His programme is to contain the new orchestral suite which has had such success in the United States, and is made up, so ‘it is said, of some of the best melodies he has ever written. Those who have heard Sousa can never make up their minds whether they are more attracted by the stirring swing of his musicians or by the method with which Sousa himself conducts. His conducting, indeed, is one of the most interest- ing features of his concerts, for he does it in a way in which no other conductor in the world adopts. All the time he seems to be trying to do tricks with his baton, and some of his movements are almost laugh- able. None the less he ‘‘gets the goods,’ as the Americans say; and there is no band in the world quite like Sousa’s famous band.— Belfast (freland) Telegraph.

As yet the number of such installments can be counted on one's fingers; but the indications are that this system is destined shortly to find very extended use. It is therefore with particular interest that we note a paper recently delivered before the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers by C. B. Page, on "Marine Installations of Producer Gas." Much valuable information is contained in this paper. Some of the advantages of the system are clearly brought out by figures cited with reference to the "Mary A. Sharp," a boat plying on Chesapeake Bay, and equipped with a producer gas engine. The fuel consumption is remarkably, 1.13 pounds per indicated horse power. The average indicated horse power during an actual trip was 60.8, yet the engine with the producer is contained in a room measuring but 13 feet 3 inches in length. The weight of the engine 9,500 pounds, that of the producer 6,000 pounds, thus giving a total weight per indicated brake horse power of 205 pounds. The producer has a cylindrical steel shell lined with asbestos and fire brick. In operation it is quite warm to the touch but not excessively hot. The gas drawn from the producer by the suction of the engine, so that the former is always at reduced pressure, and there is no possibility of leakage of the poisonous gas into the engine room. In land practice it is customary to introduce water into the producer, for the double purpose of enriching the gas (by the formation of water gas) and of softening the clinker. Attempts to use this same expedient with marine producers have proved futile owing to the disposition of salt and the effect of the motion of the vessel upon the water vaporizer. Experience, however, seems to show that the presence of any considerable proportion of water gas is harmful rather than beneficial, while the softening of the clinker is satisfactorily accomplished by introducing exhaust gas from the engine under the grate. A small amount of water is run in the ash pit to keep the ashes and the bottom of the producer cool. The trifling quantity of steam thus introduced into the producer assists in keeping down the clinkers. It is considered that the grate should last two years, and the fire brick lining from three to five years. The fire, after it is once started, can be maintained for months without interruption, and the producer worked continuously. The operation of removing the ashes and poking down the clinkers does not seriously affect the quality of the gas, and can therefore be carried out without shutting down the engine, and while the latter is in full working. The engine is of the two-cycle type, and combines the compactness and simplicity characteristic of this type, with an efficiency ordinarily associat- ITEMS MORE OR LESS INTERESTING ed with four-cycle working. This is rendered possible by the fact that in marine work the engine runs practically at full load throughout, and is known from land practice that under these conditions a two-cycle engine can be run with good economy. The engine has a number of detail features., which render it peculiarly adapted for the particular field for which it is intended. All in all, one is left with the impression that a marked step forward has been made in a direction which bids fair to lead to important developments of great practical value.—The Scientific American. THE JAPANESE AND THE LAND In 1906 Wr. W. V. Stafford, then State Labor Commissioner, in a published interview said of the Japanese: "The Japanese do not reduce wages so much as they supplant the whites. When the Japanese enter a community, the whites seem to retire before them. This can be seen at Fresno, Vacaville, Watsonville, Sacramento, in fact, at any point where large numbers of Japanese have established themselves. White labor and Japanese labor do not appear able to exist together in the same community." What Commissioner Stafford said about the Japanese and labor, he could with equal truth have said about Japanese and landowners. Where the Japanese have secured a footing in the soil, the white land owners have retired before them. The experience of Sacramento city illustrates this very forcibly. In that city, according to statements made on the floor of the Assembly two years ago, the Japanese have secured much valuable real estate. They purchase a corner lot, paying almost any price for it that may be asked. Soon the remaining white owners in the block are willing to sell for what they can get, and the block falls into Japanese hands at the Jap's own figures. The whites move away. The block fills up with Japanese, and the Japanese purchase of neighboring blocks is made the easier. Japanese landlordism has become a settled thing in California, a condition to be reckoned with. Nor is the Japanese contenting himself with city holdings. He is reaching out into the country districts and purchasing the choicest of farming and fruit lands. Nearly five years ago, for example, Japanese purchased a tract of 1,500 acres in Merced county. The tract is admirably situated. It touches both the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe railroads. The plan was to cut the tract up into forty-one holdings to be planted to grapes and peaches, and leased or sold to Japanese only. The colony is called Yomoto, which is an old poetic name for Japan. Five years ago, the editor of the Japanese American estimated that the Japanese had secur 3,000 acres of land in the San Joaquin Valley alone. This prob- the SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ably was a conservative estimate at the time. It is certainly a conservative estimate for 1910. The movement of the the Japanese to the soil was well illustrated when enormous acreage Glenn, Tehama and Colusa counties were brought under irrigation a few years ago. The Japanese at once endeavored to secure holdings there. Their applications were denied. The managers of the irrigation enprise were at the time in California. As a business-if not patriotic—consideration, they preferred their holdings to continue a white man's land. Not only did they refuse to sell to the Japanese, but discouraged any more of the yellow men to enter the colony. Unfortunately, such high enlightened, self-interest has not always ruled land dealers in their relation with the Japanese land purchasers. The truth of this is writ sadly in conditions throughout the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys where the Japs have fairly rooted themselves to the soil. It is seen at Vaca Valley, in the Santa Clara valley, even in that land of sunshine and anti-unionism, Southern California. In Southern California the Japanese have succeeded in driving out the white growers of berries and vegetables. Hundreds of whites on berry farms and vegetable tracts have been ruined by Japanese competition and forced to abandon the industry. And the Japanese have immediately moved in. By turning to the Hawaiian Islands, the Californian can see what the occupation of the soil by the Japanese will eventually mean to the state. Even during Roosevelt's administration, the whites of the Islands were petitioning the Department of the Interior to adopt a policy by which the land of the Islands could be saved from falling into Oriental hands. These memorials, which are on file in the Interior Department, set forth that in the Islands the white farmers cannot compete with the Japanese, and find it more profitable to lease or sell their lands to the Orientals. The petitioners ask that hereafter all public lands leased or given out in homesteads by the government shall always be tilled by American citizens or by those who have declared their intention of becoming American citizens. Conditions in the Islands—and for that matter conditions as they are rapidly developing in California—led Assemblyman Drew of Fresno at the last session of the Legislature to introduce a bill to prohibit aliens from holding lands in this state. Under the provisions of the Drew bill, an alien acquiring title to lands situated in California was given five years to become a citizen of the United States; failing to become a citizen, he was required to dispose of his real estate holdings to a citizen; failing to do so, the necessary machinery was provided for the district attorney of the county in which the land was situated to dispose of it, and turn the proceeds of the sale over to the alien owner. The leasing of land to aliens for a longer period than one year was prohibited. The word "Japanese" did not appear in the bill at all. Indeed, the Drew bill was a direct copy of the Illinois law, which has been on the statute books of that state for years. Nevertheless, the measure met the strenuous opposition of the organization or machine, which dominated the legislature. Roosevelt, then president, took a hand, and enlisted to good offices of Governor Gillett and Phil Stanton Speaker of the Assembly, to kill the measure. But Drew fought back hard. Finally, Governor Gillett suggested to Drew that he substitute a copy of the Oklahoma Anti-alien Land Law for his original bill—that is to say, the Illinois statute. This Drew did. The substitute measure—which is the law of Oklahoma—provides that "no alien shall acquire title or own land in the state of California," but the measure provided further that the law "shall not apply to lands now owned in the state by aliens so long as they are held by their present owners." But even the Oklahoma law did not satisfy the powers that be, and it was fully defeated. The question naturally arises, why California should not be permitted to put on her statute books a measure that has been found wholesome in Illinois, or a measure that became a law in Oklahoma without scaring up a war cloud? A comprehensive account of how the Drew Alien Land bill was defeated at the legislative session of 1909 will be found in Hichborn's "Story of the California Legislature of 1909." Readers who may feel interested are referred to that volume. It will be interesting to note whether the tacticts which at the last session of the legislature prevented the protection of California lands from Oriental invasion, will be employed in this session—and, what is more important, whether they will prove as successful in 1911 as they were in 1909. — San Francisco Star.

SEATTLE THEATER The twenty-first week of the Baker Stock Company season will introduce to patrons of the Seattle Theater H. Arthur Jones' great play of labor and capital "The Middleman," made famous in this country by the eminent English actor E. S. Willard.

The furnace scene where the old inventor discovers the secret of china making in time to save his fortune and his daughter's FRIDAY, January 27, 1911 G honor is one of the most notable every produced on the modern stage. Joseph Galbraith will present a sympathetic interpretation of the role of Cyrus Blenhara and Miss Ethel Clifton will give a sweet and winsome presentation of Mary, the daughter. The Baker company are capable of producing this strong play in a most realistic manner. Next week the hilarious comedy, "Brown's in Town" will be the offering at the Seattle Theater. AMUSEMENTS Next week, at the Alhambra Theatre, Mr. David Brattstrom, the well known Swedish comedian and the Alhambra Company will present Gus Heege's continent famous comedy, "Yon Yonson," all week, for the benefit of the Swedish hospital of Seattle. This will be Mr. Brattstrom's last appearance on the local stage, and he only consented for the reason that the hospital is a worthy institution. "Yon Yonson" needs no introduction to the people of Seattle. it is so easily the best play ever written, that there is none other with which to compare it. Mr. Brattstrom being a Swede himself, lives his part upon the stage, and he will have the advantage of a better support than ever before seen here in this play.
