HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - - Associat EDITORIAL EDICTS If representative George B. Webster of King county claims any relationship to Daniel Webster it is certainly not on his speaking side. From a freak bill introducing standpoint the twelfth legislature of the state of Washington, especially the house of representatives, is entitled to take the cake. By all means let the lands of the state be taxed at their full value because the office holders need the money and it would be a downright shame for them to have to suffer. If Sheriff Hodge appreciates the predicament he has gotten himself in then he has a great deal more of the humorous in his make up than he had ever been has ever been given credit for. When George J. Gould purchased that English lord, pretty nearly three times older than his daughter, for a husband for her, he seems to have purehased a curio that is valuable only for its age. Superintendent Aspinwall may be a man well fitted to have charge of a state reform school, but you would never think so by looking at him, and if reports be true, he does not deceive his looks. If the court takes into consideration the man that Managing Editor Fenwick of the P.-I. is charged with having criminally libeled, it will discharge him in a second after he has been brought before it. He or she who monkeys with dynamite or black powder in a manner that may cause explosion can always safely figure that, if it does explode, it will be impossible to ever come back. Do not do it. Eggs are reported as dropping. Well, that is better than eggs kicking as most of them have been doing for the past few months, on account of the chicks trying to keep from doing pastry service. "Why not hold the Panama exposition at Panama?" enquires the Davenport Tribune. Because if that was done the grafters would not have an opportunity to skin the general government out of a few million dollars. It may be possible to criminally libel the editor of of the Seattle Daily Times, but it would take a Philadelphia lawyer to figure out how it could be done. Such a proposition would be like the geometrical surd or flying off into space. The women in the Seattle election is an unknown quanity, comments the male voters. The same may be said of the men unless a slush fund is in sight and the one side has not enough money to call the other fellow's bid. Representative Johnson of the Washington legislature has been asked by his constituents to resign because he has not kept his word. If that rule was lived up to there would be but a darn few members left to finish up the business of the session? SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1911 "More boosters and less boomers is what the Northwest needs," says a news items. A few more genuine boofters might help out things, but less grafters would kinder save up things, and it is always the persons that save that generally get ahead. Governor and Mrs. Hay may not have been intentionally doing politics in their reception of organized labor a few days ago, but, according to the Union Record, the official organ of organized labor in the Northwest, they did it just the same. "While both the Gill and the Dilling meetings were well attended and very enthusiastic, yet the Georgetown-Gazette-News ventured the opinion that, Gill was the stronger of the two. What more could be expected of an ardent Gill admirer and supporter? "Lieutenant and Acting Governor Hay" has given way in the Times to "Anile Cadude," which has reached the ridiculous the same as did the former, but how could the editor of the Times be otherwise, as he himself, seems to be a true case of anile and caduke. Rear Admiral Barry of the Pacific Coast naval fleet has renigned for the good of the service, owing to the fact that his morals were not good. If all the army and naval officers should do likewise it might be an easy matter for the Japanese to lick this country without striking a blow. The Wilber Register kinder hits the nail on the head when it says. "The members of the legislature should continue to keep union hours, working four and one-half days each week and put in for seven full days each week." Sure, for does not the government (tax payers) pay the bills and is not its source of income never exhausting? Go where you will and talk to any everybody and they all say in reply, as to whom you intend to vote for on the councilmanic ticket, and the very first one named is Albert J. Goddard. He seems to be the unanimous choice of every voter in the city. Goddard seems to be the one ideal candidate and he is so because the people believe that he has given the tax papers a square deal and will continue to do so. A Wenatchee well is charged with the emitting breaths of air prior to the coming of a chinook wind. In other words, it has developed into a complete weather vane. We thought the famous big red apple of Wenatchee had been prevaricated about enough to damn the inhabitants thereabouts for the next thou sand centuries without adding to that a well story. When Abe Hummel, the notorious New York lawyer that sinned and suffered, turned his back on the statute of liberty declaring he would never look upon it again, and sailed for Europe, it is said that the statute whispered something about, "good riddance to bad rubbish." Because Dr. Crichton recommended that his salary be cut from $200 to $150 per month, Dr. F. S. Bourns resigned from the position of medical examiner of the health and sanitary department of Seattle. If his private practice has grown to the extent that he says it has then he had no business trying to look after the health department for the city and his resignation should have been handed in months ago. That beautiful young woman and her accomplices may have been trying to blackmail John C. Robey out of a bunch of money, but, it was her "striking beauty," we fear, that first put him in a position to be victimized. Making a "mash" on every woman that smiles at you will sooner or later land the masher in serious trouble, and Mr. Rober seems to have found that out. Should the lady in the forty-fifth representative district run and get elected to the thirteenth legislature, as she has threatened to do, then, for once in the history of Washington, the Lord will be,'a member of the legislature. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 publican Everybody in the Northwest now knows that, "If you saw it in the Times it's a damn lie." That being an acknowledged fact it means the undoing of any person seeking political or social preferment at the hands of his or her neighbors to be boosted by the Times for such honor. Ugly things are being said about two of the jury men that acquitted Mrs. Kvalshaugh. The characters of those two men were certainly known to the citizens of Tacoma before they returned the verdict of acquittal and they should at that time have made the same accusations they are now making. This hollering after the devil gets you is deserving of very little sympathy. The election next Tuesday will be a straight fight between decency and indecency with George W. Dilling representing the decent folk and Hiram Charles Gil representing the indecent ones. Place an X opposite the candidate you desire to vote for. The voting next Tuesday will be very simple with nothing at issue except Gill and Dilling. "The Way of the transgressor is hard," so says the Bible, and no one realizes that more than the transgressors of the law of the Gill administration because they have been checkmated by Councilman Way at every turn of the road until they are doomed to utter destruction. No man in the whole city is more responsible for the overthrow of Gillism than Councilman E. W. Way and the voters should remember that when they elect the next council. Speaking about campaign gatherings, but all of the campaign meetings ever held in Seattle the noon day meeting held at the Grand Opera house last Monday was the most notable, and all because it was the largest and most enthusiastic. The opera house was filled to suffocation and yet not more than one-third of those desiring to attend could get inside, whereupon an overflow meeting was immediately arranged, which filled Cherry Street from Second to Third avenue. The women's meeting Wednesday at the same place and the overflow meeting in the Seattle theatre was likewise a very notable gathering. If straws tell the way the wind is blowing Gill will be beaten by ten thousand votes. Despite the fact that the committee on morals of the twelfth legislature has introduced a bill in the house of representatives, to anull all marriages between Japanese and Negroes with white folk, yet it will hardly pass either branch of the legislature. All such come under the head of freak legislation and deserves to be relegated to the realm of innocuous desuetude. So far as the black man of the state is concerned he is a law abiding American citizen with all the rights and privileges of the members of the legislature, and any such law would be one of intolerance. If the black men of the United States are not full-fledged citizens then they are aliens and have no more rights and privileges than the Japanese, and can be not only disfranchised and segregated at the will of the dominate race, but likewise banished from the country. When the United States bought Alaska about fifty years ago for seven million dollars, and a facetious editor referring to its great distance and to its Russian origin, proposed to call it "Damlongwayoff," no one imagined how incalculably rich in gold, iron, fisheries and coal, to say nothing of vegetable production, that country would bacome. There are people but little past middle age who can recollect that part of the country where Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma and other prosperous states are situated, was supposed to be a desert utterly unfit for agriculture. A great part of Texas was at that time regarded as a stirile waste, but it is now covered with cities towns and villages. Within a generation Canada has doubled her population and multiplied many times her wealth, and yet the rich forest of Labrador and splendid regions about Hudson Bay are almost untouched. It is not improbable that the younger generation in America will, during the next half century, witness such financial and industrial power in the northern half of the Western Hemisphere as the world has never before known. --- POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS THOUGHTS BY THE WAYSIDE [It begins to look as if the fourth of next March will see the Piles family off the political map as Senator Piles failed to land Matt as collector of customs. It has been altogether too much Piles. Attorney General Bell wants to be Judge Bell, if reports be true. That's sounds good, if some of the citisens of the state does not get the new Judge Bell mixed up with the old Judge Bell. New York city is by no means the only city in the United States where crooked banking business goes on and is winked at by the law, but it seems to be a part of the banking business all over the country. "It seems to me that William H. Murphy has made a very acceptable councilman and merits the support of the voters of the city in his fight for re-election," said former United States senator John L. Wilson one day this week. Senator Ruth has tired of being a Republican and he wants the offices of the state filled by electing persons without party designation. Is this another case of rule or ruin? As long as Senator Ruth was y party boss he was for strict partisan elections, but having lost out he is now advocating the disbanding of all parties. The idea, however, is not a bad one. Edwin L. Blaine has been pronounced a man unfit to hold office, as being vicious and corrupt, by the Seattle Daily Times. Even if he were guilty of all of those accusations no one could give them any credence inasmuch as no one, save the editor of the Times, has made the accusation. WHAT DILLING HAS DONE The best test of what a man will do in public office is the record that that man has made in public office. George W. Dilling has held but one public office. He was a member of the state legislature in 1903. The record he made in the legislature indicates very strongly the kind of an administration he will give as mayor. It indicates that he will be progressive, courageous discriminating. It indicates that he will not yield to TOPICS IN BRIEF Let's change the name of the capital to Whitwash ton.—Omaha News.

THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ICS AND THE POLITI the influence of special interests; that he will protect the interests of labor, and make it a special point to enforce the laws for the regulation of public morals. Here is the record: Mr. Dilling voted for Harold Preston for U. S. senator. He voted for an anti-pass law, An anti-trust law, A direct primary law, An anti-child labor law, A railroad commission law, A law making gambling a felony, A law for the prevention of forest fires, A law creating a state tax commission, A law for the protection of homeless children.

A law authorizing a search for and seizure of intoxicating liquors unlawfully kept, A law making eight hours a day's labor on all forms of public work, A law requiring the public investigation into the causes of labor disputes, A law providing for the collection of an excise or privilege tax on express companies, A law making it a felony to live off the earnings of a fallen woman. A factory act law compelling manufacturers to guard all dangerous machinery and requiring them to fully compensate injured employes. In supporting most of these measures Mr. Dilling was from two to ten years in advance of the general progressive movement in Washington. The factory act he voted for was so drastic that the manufacturing interests concentrated their efforts upon the next session of the legislature and procured its repeal. The direct primary law, the anti-pass law and the tax commission law he voted for were defeated at that session but was enacted two years later.

The anti-trust law is still an issue in the Washington legislature, and the direct election of United States senators is now before the United States senate. The eight hour law for public work which he voted for the workingmen has been eight years-trying to get the Seattle city authorities to enforce against street contractors, but with only indifferent success. The felony gambling law and the law making it a felony to live off the earnings of a fallen woman are being arrogantly defied by Mayor Gill and Chief of Police Wappenstein in the interests of favored panderers to vice. BULLOCK FOR COUNCILMAN. In seeking the nomination for councilman under the new charter, the election for which will be held February 21, J. M. Bullock, who has been a member of the council for the past eleven months, is making the race on the record he has made since he has been in office. One year ago he won out in the primaries over men, who had been before the public for years, by a handsome plurality, and though he met some opposition at the general election from a few party leaders, yet he ran up with his ticket. In speaking of his candidacy one day this week he said: "I have no apologies to make and nothing to explain. I have tried to do my duty as a member of the city council and I rely upon my official record to guarantee my nomination. I have supported and voted for such measures as in my judgment were of the best interest to the whole city, and in doing so I was not playing politics, but voting my honest convictions. I feel that I am one of Seattle's business men and in fact I know I am, for I sell more coal to the homes of the city than any other coal dealer, and if Idid not give my customers a square deal they would cease to patronize me. As a business man I know Seattle's needs in the shape of local legislation and will, if renominated and elected, continue to give the taxpayers good service and a square deal.

LEGAL NOTES The abuses of expert testimony are experienced in nearly all forms of litigation, but nowhere more than in that comprising patents. In patent suits frequently the fees of expert witnesses constitute a large portion of the expense, especially when, as some times occurs, one side seeks to corner all the expert witnesses, who are especially skilled in the particular art involved in the patents in suit. A well-known Pittsburg patent lawyer in conversation with the writer, in commenting on patent litigation, remarked that very few people could afford its cost. We recall hearing an attorney for one of the largest corporations of the United States, in charging delay on his opposing counsel, assert that the latter, and it was not denied, cross-examined his expert witness for twenty-eight days when, after qualifying, he was only asked one question on direct examination. Possibly if he had been asked two direct questions, the cross examination would still be going on. Cannot some one devise means of dispensing with expert witnesses in patent litigation and thus reduce the cost in a very material degree? The law approved on June 25, 1910, and vesting in the Court of Claims jurisdiction of suits to recover reasonable compensation to the owner of a patent for the unauthorized use of a patented invention by the United States, contains the provision, thought by some to be unreasonable, "That the benefits of this Act will not insure to any patentee, who, when he makes such claim, is in the employment or service of the United States; or the assigneee of any such patentee; nor snall this Act apply to any device discovered or invented by such employee during the time of his employment or service."

The Socialist candidate for mayor of Seattle at the hands of the voters at the election, February 7th—next Tuesday. He has made a vigorous campaign and expects to poll the largest vote ever given to a Socialist in the Northwest. FRIDAY. February 3. 1911 SOCIALISM IN SEATTLE While municipal ownership is not exactly Socialism, yet it is an offspring of that political cult as is the initiative and referendum and the adoption of the one or both means but the taking of another step in the direction of installing Socialism as our form of government which is rapidly gaining ground all over the United States just now. The growth of Socialism is not due so much to conversions to the doctrine, as disgust on the part of the laboring people to the dominancy of the men with the money over the political affairs of the entire country. The harangues of the street Socialist is very objectionable to the average laboring man and much more so to the middle classes, but when they see the great number of persons elected to office who become the tools of corporations and trusts, they become disgusted and vote for some radical Socialist for a change, and if his administration is anything like a successful one it is preached from one end of the world to the other and the disease thereby spreads very rapidly. It is the concensus of opinion among those who have given the campain any thought whatever, that the Socialist candidate for mayor in Seattle will get the biggest vote next Tuesday that has ever been recorded in favor of any such candidate in the Northwest. There are different reasons for that, but none more prominent than that the superintendent of the lighting department of the city of Seattle has been charged with trying to destroy the usefulness of the municipal lighting plant in the interest of a private concern. He is a man like other men and should have the interest of his fellow men at heart the same as if he were working for a dollar a day. But as said above, he stands charged with this most heinous offense and and yet he is making no defense of his actions and the private concern in whose interest he is said to be working, though employed by the city, is doing all within its power to keep him in office, despite the protests of thousands of the voters and taxpayers. Calmly viewing the situation, those persons that do not seem inclined to vote for Dilling and yet want to rebuke an official so recreant to the trust imposed in him by his by his fellow men as they declare Gill has been, will vote for a Socialist. Then again, a great many men among the higher ups have eagerly watched the telephone fight in Seattle and they have been forced to stand idly by, as helpless as new born babies, and see the telephone octopus of Seattle trample its consumers down like so many slaves. The franchise given to the Pacific States Telephone Company is one so liberal to the stockholdeos of that concern that it is criminal, so far as the taxpayers are concerned, and under its criminal franchise it, at pleasure, can raise the rates of the telephone users until it is so ridiculous that it is absurd. As the number of the subscribers increase just as steadily do the rates increase until yovr office telephone is now costing $7.50 per month, when in fact half that amount would be ample, on which to even make a profit. The stockholders of that company have acquired the stock of the Independent Telephone Company, and though it has a fixed charge, yet they are hoping to get into the courts and get that set aside so that the rates of that company can also be increased. the voters and taxpayers have almost reached the point that they would be perfectly willing to raise by direct taxation a sufficient amount of money to install a complete municipal telephone system in the city and leave the other systems to battle it out between themselves. The installing of a municipal lighting plant forced the private lighting concerns to cut their lighting rates in half and even less, and if the city plant was run at an actual loss, it is still cheap to to the tax payers. If the city should put in a telephone system it would mean the rates would be cut in 1wain by the old companies and not only cut in twain, but one of the systems would be discontinued, all of which would mean a saving of something like $9 per month to every business man and a good many dollars less than now paid each year for every home telephone. Now a great many voters do not believe that either Mr. Dilling or Mr. Gill will recommend any such move being made, but on the other hand they do believe it is a part of the Socialist creed to undertake such a change and just to encourage them they will vote for the mayoralty candidate of that party. The laboring folk of Seattle are pleased with some of the reforms that have been inaugurated by the Socialist mayor of Milwaukee. They are not only pleased with them, but they are of the opinion that they are really soul uplifting public reforms and on that account, believing that the Socialist in Seattle will follow in his wake, they will give him a vote and feel none the worse for having done so. So far as he now knows the editor of THE SEATTLE THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN EDWIN J. The Socialist candidate for mayor at the election, February 7th—next campaign and expects to poll the largest Northwest. REPUBLICAN has no Socialistic leanings nor will he vote or aid the Socialistic candidate for Mayor next Tuesday, but he does fully realize that public sentiment is softening rapidly toward Socialism, not, as said in the outset, so much on account of the street howlings of the advocates thereof, but on account of the heartlessness of the trusts and corporations that seem to control the affairs of this land of the free and home of the brave. It is but Socialism in a different form that has aroused public sentiment to the high pitch that it now is against Mayor Gill. The voters seem to be convinced that Mr. Dilling stands more for the people than does Mr. Gill, and that has prompted them to turn out by the thousands and cheer the candidate that promises to give the people a chance. This paper is not prepared to say that Superintendent Arms is guilty as charged, and for that reason, it cannot see how one man can be so cruel to his fellow men, but a great many people believe there is something in the charge and so rooted and grounded in it are they, that they will encourage municipal ownership in other things besides the water and lighting plant unless the public utilities of the city are handled more in the interest of the common people. FOREST AND FIELD AS HOSPITALS In general the treatment of disease among primitive racee resemble the healing by prayer and faith, and other superstitious practices, which are not unknown in civilized countries, but most savages improve upon our miraculous healers by isolating the patient. Experience has taught them the danger of infection, but the isolation of the patient is prompted, not by this danger, but by the belief that the sufferer is possessed by a demon, as certain European sects still believe to be the sase with the insane. Various methods of expelling the demon are practised. One is especially interesting because of its resemblance to a method, mentioned in the Bible and practised by our forefathers, which is always erroneously interpreted. Diseased persons were placed outside the gates of the --- 3 city, not to prevent infection, which was rather promoted by placing the patient exactly where traffic was most congested, but to facilitate cure by the patron deities which, in all popular beliefs, sit at the gate of the house, the city or the state. In central Sumatra lepers are driven from the village to a forest to beseech the gods of mountain and forest to cure them. In many districts huts are built in the forest for sufferers. The natives of the Island of Nias, in epidemics, compel the sick to go out into an opon field, where a shed is erected to shelter them. OUR SPECIAL EDITION United States Senate Washington, D. C. January 23, 1911 Mr. H. R. Cayton, Seattle, Washington. My Dear Mr. Cayton: I have been intending for some little time to write to you to express my pleasure at receiving the copy of the New Year's edition of The Seattle Republican. It is a most excellent publication and reflects the greatest of credit upon the makers of this most enterprising paper of a most enterprising city. Wishing you the greatest success, I am Very sincerely yours, W. L. JONES. The Christmas number of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN was a highly creditable book, and worth preserving. Horace Roscoe Cayton is an old Mississippi boy, and the first Negro to edit a newspaper for all the people in any city in the country. In respect of this we note that the Spokane Citizen has widely patterned after the REPUBLICAN.—New York Age. In putting the Inland Herald into the hands of a receiver it occurs to us some one on the paper has already been doing too much receiving of the funds of the institution and not applying them to its debts. STANDARD OIL FIGHTS FOR LIFE WILLIAM H. MURPHY PRIMARIES, FEB. 21st Vote For WILLIAM H. MURPHY A year ago certain organs of Wall Street were predicting in desperate accents that if the decision of the Supreme Court should sustain the dissolution orders of the lower courts against the Standard Oil Company and the American Tobacco Company it would mean the paralysis of business in this country, and this view was echoed in many quarters. But now that these great cases are actually having their final hearing, with the momentous decision expected in a few weeks, or at most a few months, popular suspense seems to have actually diminished rather than increased. Thus the New York Evening Post reports that the present mood of the financial community regarding the coming trust decisions "is largely one of curiosity, tempered with the puulic, as no doubt with the court itself, by realization that a broad and comprehensive decision on these leading cases will blaze the way for future conduct of legitimate business and for future first-hand restraint on illegitimate schemes of capital." The apparent absence of public excitement over the cases at the present time is the more striking when we consider the vast interests involved. Mr. Rockefeller is quoted as saying that there are a hundred other great corporations and combinations in the country which have copied the system and methods of the Standard Oil Company. "However that may be," writes James Creelman in the New York American, "it is probable that sixty other trusts organized on practically the same plan as the American Tobacco Company and the Standard Oil Company, with a united capital of about $6,000,000,000 are dependent upon the decision of the cases." Moreover, as the same writer reminds us, "the whole policy of the Taft administration with respect to this tremendous question is suspended until the Supreme Court makes its decision and finally settles the power of the Government under the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. The lower Federal courts, it will be remembered, have already decreed the dissolution of the Tobacco and Standard Oil Trusts as illegal combinations in restraint of interstate trade. In his supplemental brief against the companies filed a few weeks ago Attorney-General Wickersham maintains that Congress meant the Sherman Law "to cover any form or device employed to hold together corporations or naturally competing business establishments so as to eliminate competition." He calls attention, moreover, to the fact that in every case brought against the Standard Oil Company in any of the states under anti-trust stautes the combination has held to be invalid, and urges that [Paid Avert] WILLIAM H CANDIDATE FOR COUNCILMAN Mr. Murphy's Platform is: "Eleven Years in the City Council" Mr. Murphy has been fair in his official life, and has represented the city as he believed both men and women wished it should be represented. He promises a continuance of this policy. --- 4 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN DARD OIL FIGHTS FOR these decisions "evince a greater public policy of this nation, which is a material consideration in this court." He adds that "unless the Federal government enforces the Sherman Act we shall have the anomalous condition of these great combinations being held invalid as to interstate commerce and excluded from the states, while as to the interstate commerce they may continue to do business under the shield of Federal authority." In laying the case against the Tobacco Trust before the Supreme Conrt the Government's counsel told how the American Tobacco Company came into being in 1800 with a little more than three million worth of tangible assets and now controls properties paying dividends on a valuation of more than $400,000,000. Since 1902, we are told, it has been a world-trust, apportioning the tobacco-using nations between its three great branches—the American Tobacco Company, and the British-American Tobacco Company. The result, the government contends, is a world-wide combination to restrain and monopolize commerce in tobacco between the states and foreign nations. As an additional reason for its dissolution it was urged that the Tobacco Trust, through its influence upon the price of tobacco leaf, had so effended the tobacco growers that they in turn had formed combinations and were holding out against the trust by storing their tobacco leaf. As a result the government's lawyers declare, the whole social situation in the tobacco growing district is upset, one element of the community being driven into warfare with another. A very different picture, however, was painted for the learned justices by the Tobacco Trust lawyers. Mr. DeLancey Nicholl's pleas for the company are thus summarized in a Washington dispatch to the New York American: "The American Tobacco Company was not an aggregation of competing plants, but a natural development of a great business along natura economic lines. In the Knight case the Supreme Court held that the union of sugar refineries by purchase of stock ownership was not a resraint of interstate commerce. That decision of the court covered the case of the American Tobacco Company which is a manufacturing business. It had been so accepted by the whole country. "The only power possessed by the American Tobacco Company was the power of great wealth and intelligence. Was a manufacturing business to be banished from trade on that account? Mr. Rockefeller and Mr. Carnegie could do the same thing in cotton or tobacco today. Are the rich to be forbidden to en- vertisement] H. MURPHY M. H. --- FRIDAY February 3. 1911 gage in trade because of inherent power? The history of the American Tobacco Company is a history of the expansion of trade, and not of its restraint. It is the governments largest taxpayer." Another counsel for the trust, Mr. W. B. Hornblower discussed the scope of the Antri-trust Law and summarized as follows the points which have already been settled in construing the statute: "First that every such contract in restraint of trade is not necessarily invalid. "Second, that the contract for the purchase of a business with covenants not to compete is not invalid. "Third a manufacturer has the right to buy off a dangerous rival, even if such purchase wores an incidental restraint of trade, if the principal object be to protect a business." And another famous corporation lawyer, John G. Johnson, was listened to with special attention, the correspondents say, when he urged the following point in behalf of the defendant: "There is no word in the Sherman Act to forbid acquisition of property. The legislature, the law, cannot compel a man to compete. If there is no legal obligation or duty to compete, and if A buys B or B buys A, no law has been violated, for no legal obligation has thereby been violated. Individuals and private corporations owe no legal duty to compete. The Northern Securities case differs from the present case because it was a public service corporation and had a legal obligation to the public to compete. Monopolizing is more than acquisition. Combinations in themselves are not unlawful. It is their abuses that were unlawful under the Sherman Act." Opening the case for Standard Oil, John G. Milburn retold the company's history to show that its growth had been through the creation of new business rather than through the acquisition or restraint of existing business. After picturing the injustice that would be done to stockholders by the company's dissolution he concluded impressively: "Damned for everything, but praised for nothing, was the way the Standard Oil has been treated by the government. In this record, covering forty years of business, everything the Standard has ever done is related. It has done some things in strenuous times that it should not have done. That was human." "It has done nothing that goes to the issue here. The evil of the affirmance of this decree, it is needless for me to say, would be monstrous. It is fortunate that the case is left in the hands of a court that listens to reason and never hears the voice of passion and prejudice."—Literary Digest.

As a safe way to invest small sums the postal savings banks will meet the needs of many women, men and children. Interest at the rate of 2 per cent per annum will be allowed on all deposits. The idea of policewomen, which at first was regarded as shocking and absurd, is growing in savor. The first woman police officer has just been appointed at Sapulpa. Mrs. Mabel Bassett has been provided with a star, and a regular salary and has been invested with the same power as any member of the police. She has been assigned to look after thh juveniles and keep those under 16 years off the streets after 8 o'clock at night. The authorities in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, are planning to have its first policewoman. Miss Edna Finch, a trained nurse, who stcod the highest in a competitive examination, is expected to be appointed soon. She will be on duty about factories to make certain that sanitary conditions are right. If you get married you can't get promoted is the dire penalty that hangs heavy over the heads of women teachers in New York City. The board of superintendents nominated Mrs. Mary B. Kinkeldey, a teacher for 21 years in the public schools, to a principalship. When the matter came before the board of education one of the members said of Mrs. Kinkeldey: 'She has an extraordinary record. For 21 years not a complaint has been lodged against her; ffrm not a single session of school has she been absent; not once was she tardy in getting to school. She is one of the ablest teachers in the school system. She is the only one on the eligible list; there were two others but they withdrew. She is ready to take charge of this school. Nevertheless the Board would not make this able teacher a principal, because she got married two years ago and because a by-law, which the Supreme Court a month ago held was a good law, says that the Board of Education may not appoint or promote a married woman in the teaching or supervising force. The only persons exempted by the by-law are teachers who husbands are cripples or confirmed invalids or have deserted or abused them. None of this applied to Mrs. Kinkeldey. It was shown that she had devoted herself to the support of her parents. When relieved of this duty she had no money saved. Her husband is a teacher in a college on small salary. In view of her long service, her qualifications and her limited finances, it was urged that an exception should be made in her case, the by-law suspended and her nomination as principal confirmed. But the Board of education refused by a vote of 16 to 15. The ITEMS MORE OR LESS INTERESTING attitude of the majority was expressed by Chnirman Stern, chairman of the elementary schools committees, who said he had nothing but praise for the candidate, but to promote in face of the by-law was to invite criticism. "There has been much agita- among women over this by-law," Mr. Stern said, "but the courts have decided in our favor. If we now surrender what we have so strenuously fought for, you can understand what will happen when the other married women get after us. There are hundreds of them." Wonder what will happen when these hundreds of married women and the other hundreds of women teachers who might like to marry get votes? WOMEN AND SICENTIEIC RESEARCH In a recent paper published in Science by Professor Cattell, under the title, "Statistical Study of American Men of Science," reference is made to the fact that women are contributing but a small share to producfive scientific work. In 1910 only eighteen women are found among the first thousand scientific persons. The author says, in part: "There are now nearly as many women as men who receive a college degree; they have on an average more leisure; there are four times as many women as men engaged in teaching. There does not appear to be any social prejudice against women engaging in scientific work, and it is difficult to avoid the conclu- [Paid Adv EUGENE [Paid Advertisement] EUGENE W. WAY MY PLATFORM HONESTY DECENCY EFFICIENCY ECONOMY FOR COUNCILMAN RE OR LESS sion that there is an innate sexn, ual disqualification But it is ary possible that the lack of encourhe agement and sympathy is greater the than appears on the surface, ace and that in the future women iti-may be able to do their share for the advancement of science." Not unnaturally this passage has brought out some discussion of the point raised. Two letters appear in the correspondence column of Science over the signature of ladies, who rise in protest and in defense of their sex. They urge that the general conditions of education and of college administration are such as to place unnatural obstacles in the path of women bent upon scientific attainment. One correspondent complains that the whole spirit of a girl's education, from childhood up, lays far too much stress upon attention to her apparel and adornment, that the boy is free from such trammels and has correspondingly more leisure to give thought to things of greater worth. A boy is taken by his elders to visit various places of practical interest, thus preparing his mind for the solid duties and life work of the man. No one thinks it necessary to pay the same service to girls. Yet, thewriter claims, the practical instinct is innate in girls as in boys. It was a little girl who once asked: "Why do the cars lean in when they go around a curve?" It must be admitted there is justification for these statements. Men do like to see women tastefully attired. The blue stocking has never been popular. But one cannot quite shake off the E W. WAY MY PLATFORM HONESTY DECENCY EFFICIENCY ECONOMY --- feeling that the fault, if fault there be, does not rest entirely with the male sex. If women are in this matter the victims of circumstances, one rather suspects that most of them are willing enough victims. And perhaps this spirit of willingness, rather than the force of circumstances, is one of the true causes why women do not figure as prominently among scientists as men. One might ask the question whether it is desirable that they should. There are some walks in life, some missions, which are eminently women's sphere. The pursuit of scientific research is perhaps not one of these. This, however, does seem probable, that the present proportion of eighteen in one thousand does not represent a fair condition, whatever may be the causes of the disparity. More convincing perhaps, than the first plea, is the second complaint made: women, it is claimed, are hardly considered seriously as candidates for major positions at universities. And it is the holders of such positions who are contributing the main share to the advancement of science.—Scientific American. THE TEN BEST HYMNS Religious journals often print articles on how to improve the music in our churches. Such efforts some times represent the minister's point of view; oftener the organist's or choir master's. Seldom do we get an expression from the pew. One such has been obtained from by the Rev. Frank B. Upham, who tried to find out what, in the judgment of nearly two hundred people in a church of an average spiritual fervor, were the ten best hymns. The church, it may be said, was a Methodist church, and the choice was made from the hymnal of that denomination, yet most of the favorites are to be found in common usage throughout the other churches, and this list will therefore have a wide spread interest. Organists may be asked whether it represents improved music.

BULLOCK 609 Tenth Avenue Seattle Seattle FRIDAY, February 3, 1911 G cate (New York) Mr. Upham re-reports on the experiment: "Their decision was guided—possibly misguided in certain instances—by the pastor, who presented to each one a list of fifty hymns, the fifty in our Hymnal that he would retain most heartily if compelled to part with the others. Each member who cared to do so was asked to select from this list the ten which were dearest to him. In the pastor's larger list wtre included a few hymns that seem to be necessary on certain great occasions, for example, My Country 'Tis of Thee; also, in his list were three gospel hymns. Each of these gospel promptly found a way into the list of ten chosen by the church! "Nearer My God to Thee led the popular vote. There were were 112 votes cast for this hymn out of a total of 185. Abide With Me, came second with 107 votes; Jesus, Lover of My Soul, third with 92 votes. Strange to say—some of us think it to be strange—I Love to Tell the Story came fourth, 89 votes. Close after this came, Lead Kindly Light, 84 votes. The others chosen were: Rescue the Perishing, 80 votes; Rock of Ages, 75 votes. Onward Christian Soldiers 67 votes; and What a Friend We Have in Jesus, 61 votes. Four great hymns just failed to get in the list, each of them receiving more than 50 votes; Love Divine, All Love Excelling, Just as I Am Without One Plea, Faith of Our Fathers! Living Still, and In the Cross of Christ I Glory,"—Literary Digest. IN THE JUSTICE'S COURT BEFORE R. R.

"Always leave them laughing when you say good bye, some inspired muse sung, and that is the way Manager Baker of Baker Stock Company that has affored such clean, wholesome and high class entertainment to the patrons of Seattle Theatre this season, believes. Hence the offering for the last week of the popular organization of players is to be Mark Twain's famous farce comedy, "Brown's in Town," which will open next Sunday matinee. It is a story of two youthful lovers who have just been secretly married, and go into hiding in a cottage in the suburbs to enjoy a blissful honeymoon, and also keep their secret safe from the wealthy and crusty old father of the groom. It all ends happily of course as all good comedies should, and everyone is forgiven. Joseph Galbraith, Ethel Clifton, Marge Duffet, Fay Bainter, Marie Bak-Frank Denithorne, Dan Bruce, Tommy Williams, Earl Dwire and all other favorites contribute to the merriment.

In this character Miss Bunting is simply delightful. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for King County. Summons by Publication.
