HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - - Associat THAT CANAL RECIPROCITY President William Howard Taft is not leaving a stone unturned in order to bring about a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada. He argues in a recent public speech that Canada can never compete with this country in corn raising and while she may raise quantities of wheat, the demand for all the wheat the world can produce is so well established that the prices of wheat in the United States could not be reduced by taking the tariff off of Canadian wheat and admitting it free to the United States, where her mills and elevators would get the benefit of handling the most of it. As to the production of corn in the two countries, the following paragraph taken from his speech will be both news and information to a great many persons in this country who give themselves credit for being pretty well informed: "The total production of corn in the United States in 1910 was 3,125,713,000 bushels, of which we exported 44,072,209 and used the rest in domestic consumption, chiefly raising cattle and hogs, of which in live cattle and packing house products, we exported in value $135,985,212. The Canadian product of corn was 18,726,000 bushels or six tenths of one per cent of the total production of the United States. We export 6,000,000 bushels to Canada. Just why the people of this country desire to place a heavy duty on Canadian imports, which in no sense are competitors with like articles and goods produced in the United States, can be solved except because the trusts take that way of bleeding this general public. In our opinion Congress should pass this measure with Canada, Representative Will E. Humphrey to the contrary notwithstanding, and thereby cultivate closer relations between the two countries. The interests of the two countries are almost identical and at the present time more persons go to Canada from the United States than from England or Europe combined, and it is not right or just for us to impose a hardship upon our kith and kin. This tariff bugbear has been worked long enough and it is high time that sensible men and women of the United States wake up to the fact that the most of the tariff talk and legislation in the United States are in the interest of the trusts and by no means in the interest of the working man as has been alleged. THAT PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION The fear of losing self-government on the part of some people, should the legislature create a public service commission is a tempest in a teapot, and reminds one of straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. A public service commission has done good work in other states and why not in Washington? Such gigantic public service as the Pacific States Telephone company is opposing the passage of such a law because it knows that it means trouble for it, that is, if making it charge a living rate to its patrons, can be construed as making trouble for the company. A public service commission made up of the men of the right stripe would make all such greedy corporations act within the pale of common decency, a thing that they are not doing under the present system. The agents SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1911 of the Pacific States Telephone are keeping the road between Seattle and Olympia hot with view of convincing the members of the legislature that the dear people would be robbed of their god given right, self-government, if such a commission was created. The members of the legislature should always keep in mind that those things the corporation are spending their money advocating are not the things that should be passed in the interest of the people. If, therefore, the Pacific States Telephone company is against the passage of a bill, creating a public service commission it is the right thing for the legislature to pass it. So far as the commission interfering with the municipal water and light systems of the various cities of the state, to the extent of crippling them, is all tommy rot. The governor would under no circumstances tolerate such and it is barely possible that you would not find one commissioner in ten thousand, who would wilfully try to injure or cripple instead of build up any public enterprise. All of the opposition to such a commission being created eminates from the corporations and trusts of the state and they are opposing it because they know it will be the means of them losing a few dollars that they are now legally robbing the consumers of their article. The legislature, from our limited understanding of the proposed public service commission, would make no mistake to pass the bill. AREOPLANES IN WAR The revolution in Mexico still continues. The United States has han more or less trouble in preventing arms and ammunition from being smuggled into Mexico over the American border. There have been continual reports of revolutionary bands crossing and recrossing the Rio Grande. In order to obivate this difficulty and at the same time keep the few American troops from wild goose chases along the border, the War Department will use areoplanes for scout duty and patrolling the Mexican border. A number of aviators have volunteered to fly over the Mexican insurgent and Federal lines and thus test the worth of aeroplanes in actual war. This will not be a complete test, however, for the reason that the aviators will observe the strictest neutrality and will not be fired upon by the combatants. The test, however, will be an important one.—Southwestern Christian Advocate. Calling for the business men to stop the exposing of graft and white slavery on the part of the Seattle Daily Times will hardly prevent the "higher ups" from being prosecuted. The editor-in-chief of the Seattle Daily Times in the past has been quite a letter writer himself, and if some of his letters to his friend Wappy should turn up in Burns' hands, hob would be to play. Men with money to burn have been getting into legal complications here of late, and as a result Will H. Morris, the well known criminal lawyer of Seattle, will have rich pickings for the next three months. We don't feel right without The Seattle Republican, even if it is published by a "colored gentleman." Only one trouble. It doesn't come often enough, but there are so many good things in it when it does get here that one is rewarded for the waiting.—Wilbur Register. Both the Spokane Citizen and the Deer Lake Irrigated Orchard Lands Company is to be congratulated on the handsome special edition that they sent out last week. It was devoted entirely to booming the lands the company has on Deer Lake, and it was done to a queen's finish. If representative Wray's bill becomes a law tenround boxing contests without decisions will be permitted in the state of Washington. The no decision feature of the bill is to eliminate the possibility of betting on such contests. Here is a splendid bill to die a burning. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 ublican VOLUME XVII, NUMBER 38 EDITORIAL EDICTS Eugene W. Way believes in honesty and decency in city government. Explosions on warships are so common these days that it looks as if it is about as dangerous on warships in time of peace as it is in times of war. Now that Jack Johnson is in San Francisco it ought to be an easy matter for that city to raise all necessary funds for the exposition by fining Johnson for joy riding. Representative Humphrey is said to have told the president that he was against him on his Canadian reciprocity bill. Guess the Humphreys have not been getting to the Wniige House as often as they desired. The mother and father who will give their consent to the marriage of a fourteen-year-old daughter are either foolish or mercenary. They certainly do not have the good of the girl or the community at heart. If the program of the Democrats and renegade Republicans in the house of representatives in Congress is ratified by the senate the representation in the house of representatives will be increased quite materially in 1913. The woman in Washington unless she is residing on the mountain top that has to advertise for a husband is to our mind such a darn poor woman that the man who would marry her is either crazy or criminal, or both. Friday Frye, partner of Recall Mayor Giil, kicks on being tried "like a common prisoner." He is right because he is an uucommon prisoner and some law different from that administered to common prisoners ought to apply to his case. Mayor Dilling personally thanked the editor of this paper for its support in the late campaign, which was very nice. However, it did not support the Dilling because he was Dilling, but because Dilling represented municipal decency, and therefore no thanks are necessary. Being born in the month of February fully explains why the editor of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is both a heart smasher and a head burster. A heart smasher on account of St. Valentine and a head smasher on account of having been born in the same month as Washington and Lincoln. A Hillman salesman says he worked for six weeks and only made one sale and for that reason he was testifying against Hillman. If he could have made a number of sales, even though he knew them to be bogus, the inference is, he would not have been against Hillman. In other words he is now protecting the pulic because he did not get an opportunity to skin the public. A general appeal for the famine stricken districts of China has been issued by the Red Cross society and the various governors of the states of the United States have in turn transmitted the appeal to their respective constituents and a generous response is being reported. The starving heathen is the one that needs your immediate attention and is the one who should get it. Because a "sawciety" woman of New York attempted to smuggle a sable coat into the United States she was fined $2,000 and sent to jail for three days. If a few more of that tribe of human vultures, who parade themselves as society women because some one from whom they got a sufficient amount of money to put them in in the "sawciety class" either stole it or got it by some other questionable means, were sent to prison for three years instead of three days there would be less of it done. Eugene W. Way came to Seattle in territorial days. POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS 2 HAY-PAULHAMUS-FALCONER COMBINE General rumor has it that one of the strongest political combinations the state of Washington has ever witnessed is about to be crystalized at the state capital. Old timers never tire of talking of the old Hunt-McGraw combination, which for a number of years controlled the destinies of the state and resulted in thr most of the leaders of that wonderful combination not only becoming prominent in the political affairs of the state, but actually landing in some big political job. However, when Senator Piles retires from the United States senate in March, the last breath of that remarkable political combination will have been drawn, but it had a long run for its money. The new combination may not have as shrewd politicians at its helm as the old, but that remains to be seen. The new combination thus far is made up of Gov. Myron E. Hay, who is to succeed himself and then work to the end of succeeding Miles Poindexter in the United States senate; and, by the way, Miles Poindexter must smell a mouse in that direction because he has sent out word to his henchmen that Hay must be killed off at any cost, and to that end he is looking for a rival candidate for governor. But Hay is playing politics for all there is in it and is not overlooking a bet in surrounding himself with strong political cohorts in the various appointive offices of the state. If the program of the combination works well W. H. Paulhamus at present president of the state senate, is to be elected United States senator to succeed Wesley L. Jones four years from now. Paulhamus is rated at present by even his political enemies as one of the shrewdest politicians in the state and he is using the present senate, which is organized in his favor, as a stepping stone to his political ambition. J. A. Falconer is also in on this combination and he is to be elected to congress from the Northwest. Falconer really wants to be governor for some reason, but Hay is in, and he, too, wants another turn at the wheel, and Falconer is willing to go to Congress while he is waiting. The other congressmen from the state have not been decided upon because the districts have not been laid out, but it is highly probable that J. D. Bassett will be one of the bunch. Thus far Seattle is not included in the combination because things are in such a topsy turvy condition. Both Bob Hodge and Otto Case may be candidates for governor, but neither is looken upon as having any great amount of strength, for such a nomination, and while Judge Frater has been frequently mentioned in this connection, yet he is undecided whether or not to get into the fight, which is losing votes every day. There is one man in the state that is destined to give the combination considerable worry, if not trouble, and that man is is Lee A. Johnson of Sunnyside, who likewise has gubernatorial aspirations. It is the concensus of opinion that Miles Poindexter, who is aware of Johnson's strength, is inclined to hook up with him, and if he does, the Hay-Paulhamus-Bassett-Falconer combination will have a battle royal to carry out its pre-arranged program. Eugene W. Way will not tolerate graft in any form. A fight for the people against the telephone trust in Seattle will be made if B. B. Williams is elected as one of the nine new councilmen at the spring election. Williams declares that the telephone tolls in this city are exorbitant and that the service is anything but what it should be in a city of almost 300,000 persons. But the telephone fight is not the only plank in the Williams platform in this campaign. He is against the starting of any more regrades until those already begun and paid for or the property holders are in a financial position to stand more. He believes the regrades that have been started should be finished at the earliest possible time and then the taxpayers should be given a rest. Williams is making the fight for election alone. He is not affiliated with any political cliques or factions and is opposed to politics entering into the administration of city affairs. He says Seattle has suffered too much from petty quarrels of politicians. If he is elected Williams promises to work for the good of the city regardless of politics or who may be in favor of measures proposed. Last Tuesday was a great getting out day in Seattle and the human vultures took to the woods in every direction. Eugene W. Way is opposed to the establishment of vice districts. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name not visible in the image] ALBERT J. GODDARD A. J. Goddard, councilman at large, is one of the members of the city council to whose re-election there will be very little opposition. He was originally elected on a platform of "equal justice everywhere," and he has made good his promises. Few men have been more closely identified with the development of Seattle, Washington state and the entire Northwest than A. J. Goddard. In the early days of the Queen City, he was a tradesman. At that time, he laid the foundations for the active business career that followed. When the Alaska gold rush started, he went north as the manager of the Upper Yukon Company, to which company belong the credit of putting the first steamboat in operation between Bennett and Dawson. Mr. Goddard has been long before the city and state as a public official, with credit to himself and the city. In 1892 and 1893 he was a member of the city council. The following year the 43rd legislative district sent him to Olympia. Since 1908 he has again been one of the city fathers. His constant fight has been for economy and the reduction of taxes. Cheaper improvements for property owners has been his main fight. Mr. Goddard's straightforward, business like methods entitled him to the respect and support of the people of Seattle. His position in public affairs is best set forth in his own words. The following is taken from one of Mr. Goddard's dddresses: "We are approaching a crisis in our city's history. We cannot much longer stand the conditions that prevail. The largest leak in our municipal kettle, I believe to be in the manner of laying off of districts for grades and regrades. We have hills to take away and holes to fill. Instead of joining the hill to the hole, the council orders the hill taken away. So far as any general information is given out, it must be carted outside the city. If some friendly contractor knows that the hole adjoining will be filled, and he is the only one that does, he easily gets the contract. "Then the hole is advertised for filling, and every other man—except the friend—bids on getting the earth outside the city. The friend gets both jobs, slips the earth into the hole and the property owner pays as if it had been hauled ottside the city and then hauled back in again. Many instances of the sort could be sited. "Homes are being confiscated. I have laid the matter before the council time and again, but wi.hout avail. In our out of that body, I shall never quit fighting the evil until justice has been assured. There is but one remedy and that is the ballot. Improvements are costing too much. We must have a change. Shall we have it now or put it off for a darker day, which is bound to come? I leave it to you." ROSS UNDER FIRE State Land Commissioner E. W. Ross seems to have four flushed with legislatures once too often, and unless we mistake the signs of the times, that official FRIDAY. February 17, 1911 is in line for one of the hardest bumps he has ever received since he has been in public life. It seems to be the temperament of the present legislature to either abolish the office outright or place sufficient safeguards about it to prevent Mr. Ross from at least surrounding its workings with suspicious circumstances, that he is playing favorites with the big lumber concerns of the state and a clique of highbinders, with whom he works in political harmony. Before the legislative investigation committee a mass of evidence was brought out concerning the workings of the state land office, which while it did not exactly incriminate Mr. Ross, yet it showed a long list of gross carelessnesses on the part of some of the cruisers of the office, which resulted in a large number of big timber concerns acquiring title to immense tracts of valuable lands for a trifling consideration. This was not only true of timber grabbers, but the same was said of school land sales made by the state land commissioner's office under this self same E. W. Ross. It was only a few years ago, when it was reported that E. E. Webster, manager of the Independent Telephone Company, was permitted to acquire title to a tract of school land near Lake Washington for a mere song that was actually worth a quarter of a million dollars. It will be remembered that Edward B. Palmer, on account of his extreme friendliness with the state land commissioner, E. W. Ross, was permitted to acquire title to a large slice of Soap Lake for a mere pittance, when its actual value was fully a half million dollars. The same was said about Palmer getting title to vast areas of oyster rnd school lands in the state, for which he paid little or nothing, that are now worth multiplied thousands of dollars. Governor Hay has said that he can have peace with him and the courts by resigning, but whether or not he really meant it we are not prepared to say, but there is one thing certain, Ross should resign immediately if not sooner, and if he does not resign before the legislature adjourns then it should abolish the office to take immediate effect. --- [PAID ADVERTISEMENT] J.

PERSONS IN THE PUBLIC EYE FRIDAY, February 17, 1911 HONESTY BEST POLICY When Claude Bannick, after ten years continuous service on the police force of Seattle, was named chief of the police by Mayor George W. Dilling it was another verification of the old adage. "Honesty is the best policy." Since Bannick has been a member of the force it must have often seemed to him that, it did not really pay to be honest, as he has seen men grow immensely rich on the force, and yet they were supposed to be getting only the ordinary salary allowed policemen. He had seen them not only grow fabulously rich, but he has seen them rise to power and lead him three or four times over. The tenderloiners all say, "Officer Bannick is the only man on the force that you cannot buy," which may or may not be true, and the statement is seriously doubted, as there must be others on the force just as honest as Bannick. Regardless of others he has honestly done his duty on the force and never once stooped to graft, though it may have meant a fortune in his hands. He fearlessly defied hls superior officers in the Gill administration, who seemed willing to do anything in the way of financial remuneration for him, if he would only see and yet not see things and forget what he did see, but Bannick was not built that way, and when he was called before the investigating commlttee to explain certain things that took place in the restricted district, he seems to have told the whole truth and nothing but the truth, but he had not the remotest idea that his stand for right would be instrumental in making him chief of the police or anything else save a straightforward policeman, but he built better than he had planned for his statement before the committee went a long ways toward crystalizing the recall movement, which resulted in the election of Dilling and in his appointment as chief of the police, with the view of organize the force along honest lines instead of grafting lines. Let's hope that the life Claude Bannick has lived will be the an inspiration to young men just beginning to travel the long road of life and that they will be better men for having taken him as their example. RAMSAY TALKS OF THINGS "I am delighted to again be in Seattle," said Claude C. Ramsay one day this week, who has just returned from a tour of the eastern and southern states. "I went from Seattle to Washington City, thence to New York city and from there to my old home in Salsbury, North Carolina, where I spent a month or such a matter with relatives and old friends. From there I went to New Orleans, thence to California and from there home. I had a splendid opportunity to observe the financial and general condition of country during my travels, and while I have seen times better, yet they are not half "so worse" at present and conditions will begin to improve with spring. While I am always delighted to visit the south, yet under no circumstances would I think of making it my home again. Northern capital, however, is slowly but surely finding lucrative investments in the south, and especially in North Carolina. Labor is not quite so hard to handle in that section as in the west and still they have some trouble in that direction. In Louisiana a great many Russian Jews and Italians have been imported and the owners of the lands are not appreciating the change from Negro to Italian help. The Italians are a surly lot and give the land owners considerable trouble. Yes, there seems to be more or less friction among the whites and the blacks down there, but on the whole the blacks and whites seem to get along better than do the whites and the Italians. I am, however, inclined to lean to the theory that, the black folk will have to scatter all over the United States and even to the South American countries in order for them to overcome the long standing race inferiority with which they have so long been brauded. While it is an undeniable fact that, the black folk of the south are making manly strides in the arts of civilization, from the white man's viewpoint, yet I am of the opinion that those living in the far west are doing better as they are learning the more progressive ways of doing things and from which they will sooner reach the goal of success." WAPPENSTEIN AND GRATF Deteotive Wm. J. Burns declares he has sufficient evidence against Charles W. Wappenstein to convict him of graft and boibery of the most heinous and nefarious type, which evidence is in the form of confessions and corroborative evidence. If he speaks truly, and it is not doubted, then the tapayers should be unanimous in demanding his arrest and conviction. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the surprising thing, however, concerning this startling piece of news is the attitude of Prosecuting Attorney Johh F. Murphy, who has worked in absolute harmony with Burns in gatheing this damaging evidence, to ask the superior court for a grand jury. A grand jury might be nenessary to ferret out other graft cases that seem to only await the lynx eye of the law, but certainly there is no need of a grand jury for Wappenstein's case, if Burns' and Murphy's reports of their secret investtgations have been correctly reported. To have a grand jury called means the expenditure of the tax payers' money to the tune of between $5,000 and $10,000 to find out what the prosecuting attorney declares over his own signature he has already. If the detective and the prosecuting attorney are correct, they have caught Wappenstein with the goods on him, then it seems to us the proper thing for the prosecuting attorney to do is to file an information direct in the superior court and save the county the unnecessary expense of a grand jury inquisition. No one doubts but that graft has run riot in Seattle from the very day that Gill became mayor of Seattle to the day he left, but the public has no proof of it, hence no move can be made to bring the guilty parties to justice, but if Detective Burns and Prosecuting Attorney Murphy have the evidence, then such evidence is in the proper hands, or at least in the hands of the men the people have elected to guard their interest, and they should move on the law breakers as the law has made provisions, and not wait for the enquiry of a grand jury. As said above, so far as Wappenstein is concerned, there is no need of a grand jury and the tax payers should be saved that expense, but he should be proceeded against by direct information filed in the superior court by the prosecuting attorney. Representative Louis Toomer writes from Olympia, "Antagonism to the contrary notwithstanding, I am still right side up with care in Olympia and doing business at the old stand." Representative Beech, of Mason county is of the opinion, that, the day is fast coming when brains will cease to be at a premium in the legislature of this state. That will depend solely, doctor, on whether its beech or beef brains. ---0--- While Representative Todd, of Whitman, is a bit freakish in the legislature, he is having a good deal of fun with himself trying to pose as a statesman. Todd is neither a farmer or a lawyer at home and so some of his fellow members have referred to his occupation as, "What is it?" An alleged detective is said to have spent some thing like $5,000 wining and dining the gang in Seattle with the view of getting next. That seems to us as one thief trying to catch another. Any one ferreting out crime that has to resort to such tricks and sculduggerv. ought himself be sent to prison. 0 J. W. Bullock is one of the most philanthropic men in the whole city of Seattle, and no needy person ever leaves his office without being assisted. Though making no religious pretentions, he has helped more churches even before he went into politics than any other man, perhaps, now running for the city council in Seattle. 0 The temperament of the twelfth legislature is most decidedly anti-E. W. Ross, and if other state senates had have been of a like temperament the state would be millions of dollars better off. Now let the house of the twelfth legislature do its duty as has the senate, and, may perhaps, the balance of the state lands will be saved. 0 The announcement in the daily papers that an honest man had been put at the head of the police department of Seattle was of such a startling nature that hundreds of persons went to the city hall for no greater object than to look on such a personage. The times and the customs, how changed. Up to February 14, the 36th day of the session of the Washington legislature there had been 351 bills introduced in the house and 27 in the senate. Eleven bills have been signed by the governor and 10 others have passed by both houses and are ready for approval. There are 24 bills passed by the senate pending in the house awaiting action of the house and 32 which have passed the house awaiting action in the senate. So far during the session 41 bills have been killed in one body or the other. 3 Dan Landon, senator from the thirty-second district, has developed into a great minority leader in the senate and he is making speeches that are really astonishing himself and that is saying a good deal. Howard D. Taylor, speaker of the house of representatives, was made an Elk last Monday evening and already the members of the body seem to think that horns have begun to sprout on him that will be a foot long by the time he is re-elected speaker. Mayor Gill of Seattle can charge part of his defeat up to his newspaper backing. The Times unblushingly says that it conducted a very shrewd campaign, but most people think its campaign policy was one of bluff, and that the bluff has been called. —Cle Elum Echo. Moritz Thompson one of Seattle's foremost business men, who has been sojourning in Mexico for the past six weeks returned home a few days ago, but expects to return within a few days. When asked if he were not a bit leary of going to that country with the insurrectionists on the warpath, he laconically replied, "Rats!" Gov. M. E. Hay denies possessing any of the qualities that go to make up a successful politician, but those who have observed his actions since he has been governor of the state, do not wholly agree with him. He seems to be trying to pattern after former Governor Hughes of New York and is making a very respectable blunder in that direction. 0 Elwood C. Hughes spoke at the banquet of the Young Men's Republican club last Saturday evening and again demonstrated that he is a very brilliant speaker and a man chock full of wit and humor. Had Mr. Hughes a different temperament and a different manner of meeting his fellow men he would simply clean up in a political way and the United States senate would be his home as long as he desired to live there. A. V. Fawcett, mayor of Tacoma, is certain of having to go through the trials and tribulations of a recall election. Fawcett is one of the most erratic creatures that was ever elected to a public office and the wonder is among those, who have known him for many years, that he was ever elected to office after once having done time in that capacity. Both the saloon and the anti-saloon men are displeased at his actions and are making a united effort to have him recalled. Frank H. Rudkin, took the oath of office last Saturday in Seattle as U. S. district judge for Eastern Washington. Judge Rudkin has occupied three different judiciary positions within the past decade. He was first elected superior court judge of Yakima county, then he was twice elected a member of the supreme court of the state and now he has qualified for federal judge, a life long position. It is said by those who seem to know whereof they speak that Judge Rudkin will be heard from again along the line of judicial promotion. Bobby Boyce, private secretary to Recall Mayor Hiram Charles Gill, must have left the office, which he has held for the past eleven months, with an awfully bad taste in his mouth, judging from his article in the Argus last Saturday, as a parting shot of his opinion of the recall of his chief. Boyce is one of the most pleasing writers in the Northwest, and even the article referred to was couched in such choice and charming language that those differing from him could not but read it with a good deal of pleasure. Joe Smith, candidate for one of the councilmanic nominations before the coming primaries, has been selected by Mayor Dilling and his private secretary, which gives him a double shot at feeding at the public crib. Joe is a rather brilliant newspaper correspondent and has won considerable publicity as well as notoriety as an exposer of public corruption, and on a few occasions has likewise won a pretty good drubbing from the other fellow, but he has gone on in the even tenor of his way exposing what he thought to be public corruption, and for all these years of expose work he has been named by Mayor Dilling as his private secretary and still nas a hope of being nominated for councilman. It is better late than never. Eugene W. Way has a clean public record. COUNTRY PRESS ON SEA'TTLE’'S ELECTION | The war is over and Gill is de- feated. Seattle closed perhaps the bitterest political contest which ever occured in that city, last Tuesday, when Hiram Gill and his wide open townites were defeated by more than 6,000 votes. The administration of Mr. Gill had become so obnoxi- ous that all the better class of liquor dealers were opposed to him, All kinds of dives were al- lowed to exist, and gambling was open as the day. The peo- ple spoke, and this sort of gov- ment passed into history. The majority of the Seattle people are not of the blue stocking va- riety, but they will not stand sor too much violation of the law. There is a lesson in this for future politicians of Seattle. —White River Journal. George W. Dilling was elected mayor of Seattle over Hi Gill at the recall election held last Tues- day after one of the dirtiest campaigns ever carried on in this state. —Olpmpia Chronicle. George W. Dilling has been chosen to succeed H. C. Gill as mayor of Seattle, the recall elec- tion on Tuesday giving Dilling about. 6,009 majority. All ‘ndi- cations pointed to the success of Dilling. The vote of the women probably hada great deal to do with the result. There were about 20,000 women registered. It is said that the down town dis- tricts were Gill’s strongholds while the resident districts were the reverse. Seattle people will now look for a change in the ad- ministration of affairs. Accord- ing to reports the election was WILLIAM H.

Many policemen were at the polling places to enforce law and order and they had to exer- cise their authority to a consider- able degree at different times. There was much chailenging of illegal voting.—Buckley Banner. Women’s votes recalled Mayor Gillin Seattle. We’re kind of glad to be an onlooker in this case, and we can just imagine the sweet time that his success- or is going to have running the burg to suit the voters, Can’t you.— Portland (Oregon) Advo- cate. The city election held in Seat- tle last week show that we are pretty evenly divided. The ma- jority of less than six thousand is less than half of what was ex- pected by the victors. There are 25,444 men and women in Seattle who voted for Mayor Gill and they have no apologies to make for their action. —Seattle Patriarch. Yesterday’s election in Seattle in more ways than one is the most notable of its kind ever held in the United States, It is a triumphant vindication of the faith of those who have stead- fastly mainiained that if given the power of suffrage the women of the better class would not use it for the moral uplift of the community with the intelligence to see clearly where the right of the question is to be found. But no less significant was the bearing of the election on the ef- fectiveness of the new law of “recall’? which has taught the ‘pe 9 Be Sass : Mee a Beet ders ei 8 ee ane re 3 See : oe Pea : Bee ps Rael ae A /- i) lhe BeBe 29 * gag - 3 i eo ae oe a Hx ¥ S \ aan eeer people, not only of this state but of the entire country, that the right of the recall is not a mere fantasy of impractical minds but a living, virile power to hold pub- lie officials in line with honest policies. Seattle, which has a notoriously large element of peo- ple who either directly live on the vices of men or frankly countenrnce them as ‘‘good bus- inesss’’ for the town, has recall- ed to private life a mayor be- cause he was reputed to cham- pion those conditions. Seattle is to be congratulated. — Everett Herald. The recall fight has been fought and won. There is great rejoicing in one camp and deep gloom in the other. There is probably as much talk over the matter now as there was before the election, as every man is try- ing to convince his neighbor just ““why’’ the thing went as it did. There are many who never thought that Mr. Dilling could act independently for. the best interests of the city and carry out the pledges he made prior to his election, but as long as he won by a large majority and is now mayor of Seattle, all should stand by him.—Georgetown Ga- zette-News. The result of the recall vote The result of the recall vote showed that there was no great and erying need of this election. The people were net demanding it. Children were not erying for it. With over 61,00 thous- and votes cast, the fact that George W. Dilling received little more than half shows that the expenditure of some fifty thous- and dollars, to say nothing of an immense amount of time and en- ergy, to recall Mayor Gill, was not demanded by the people to such an extent as to warrant such drastic action. In this recall election the peo- ple have done Hi Gill a grave in- justice, as.can be seen by an ex- amination of the returns. In Los Angeles such an attempt was made, but the mayor re- sigted before it came to a vote. In Seattle Mr. Gill stood squarely on his record and it is a fact that he has kept every promise that he had made, and was defeated by the women, who were not voters at the time he was elect- ed.—The (Seattle) Argus. Seattle emerged Wednesday morning from her ten days’ whirlwind campaign for the re- call of Mayor Gill with the law and order element of the com- munity bright and smiling behind a majority of upwards of 6,000 for the recall candidate, George W. Dilling. That conditions in the metropolis were rotten, there can be no doubt, and on the face of the indictment returned against the derelict administra tion by the facts there is even less doubt that the public decap- itation was wholly justifiable. Relief will be felt on all hands, particularly by the outside world that is dependent upon the Seat- tle papers for its news, that the dirty battle is over. The eam. paign will remain a notable one both by reason of the fact that it is the first trial of the recall pro- vision of any chartered city in Washington, and the first op- portunity the newly enfranchis- PAID ADVETISEMENTS E.

FRIDAY January 17, 1911 LEAGUE TO BE HEARD The League of Washington Municipalities was organized at a convention of the various cities in this State, held at the City of Seattle last November. At that convention it was unanimously decided to endorse the plan of "Home Rule" for cities with the idea of extending, rather than restricting, the right of cities to manage their own affairs in all matters of local concern or municipal business. An amendment to the constitution to secure this right to cities framing their own charters is now pending before the Legislature. Utterly contrary to this idea are some of the provisions of Senate Bill No. 102, known as the Public Utilities Act. In that Act it is specifically provided that all municipal light plants and water works owned by any city or town shall be controlled by the Public Utilities Commission, not only in the matter of fixing rates, but as to maintenance and operation. This power is vested in the proposed Public Utilities Commission, not by implication, but by express reference to cities and towns owning public utilities. Section 66 of this Act provides that whenever any City Council or Commission shall have failed to grant a franchise applied for by a public service corporation for six months in a city of the first class; for four months in a city of the second class; for three months in a city of the third class, and for two months in a town, the Commission itself may grant a franchise to any public service corporation or person to operate public utilities along the streets of any such city or town. Assuming that the Public Utilities Commission with broad powers is desirable, it can be plainly seen that this revolutionary interference with matters of purely local concern in the cities and towns of this State, is diametrically opposed to the idea of "Home Rule." It is the desire of the cities and towns of this State to enlarge their authority to control the streets which they pay for and tax themselves to maintain. The vesting of this power in a governing board located at Olympia will give such board authority to legally violate the obligation of all public service franchise contracts that have been passed during the last thirty years, or more, while on the other hand, the public service corporations themselves can insist upon their enforcement. To illustrate this: The terms of a franchise specify the maximum rate to be charged for telephone service. This provision can now be enforced by the city, but if the Public Utilities Commission decides that a higher rate is fair such rate will be enforced, the company of course not objecting, and the people of the city have not been consulted. If the Commission decides that the rate fixed in the franchise is too high, and that a lower rate should be put in effect, the public service company legally defends the franchise rate on the ground that any interference therewith will be in violation of the obligation of its contract and therefore unconstitutional. With this hurried statement, the League of Washington Municipali- ITEMS MORE OR LESS INTERESTING President of the Senate of the Twelfth Legislature of the state of Washington, according to general rumor, has entered into poitical combination with Gev. M. E. Hay and others, whereby Paulhamus is to become the administration candidate for United States senator against Senator W. L. Jones at the expiration of his term. The present session of the legislature will go down in history as the most economical one ever held in the state of Washington, which is to be a part of "my record" that Senator Paulhamus will refer the voters to when he enters the United States senatorial race. He is posing as the farmer candidate, and he is even refusing to wear "biled" shirts while presiding over the deliberations of the senate. He, however, is one of the most successful farmers in Western Washington and will be backed by every grange organization in the state. He is counted as one of the dry senators and votes with them upon all vital issues, but he is not to any great extent antagonizing the wets, and he will, therefore, get quite a few of their votes in the senatorial contest. ties earnestly requests all of the cities and towns in this State to pass a resolution through their City Councils directed to the Legislature, memorializing that body not to enact into law the provisions herein referred to and further asking the Legislature to submit to the people of this State a constitutional amendment securing to cities framing their own charters the right to manage their own affairs in all matters of purely local concern. While this is a matter of prime importance to cities of the first class, we feel that all cities and towns should stand together in securing legislation favorable to the State's municipalities, without regard to size or class. N. B. A public hearing on Senate Bill 102 has been set for Monday, February 13, 1911, at 7:30 p.m. at Olympia. JAPANESE IN AMERICA The volume of trade between the United States and Japan at the present time is equal in value to approximately $93,000,000 a year.

This society has four hundred members, of whom thirty per cent are Japanese. The Nippon Club, of New York, is one of the most influential clubs abroad. Members of Japanese firms in New York make up its board of trustees. The club is at 44 West Eighty-fifth Street, New York, and its distinguishing feature is a beautifully furnished drawing room. Japanese raw silk shipped from Japan to America in the season of 1909-10, July 1 to July 30th, amounted to 92,253 bales. Japan buys American cotton to the extent of $11,000,000 a year. Japanese flower vases and other artistic porcelain have become indispensable oanaments in many American households. The quantity brought to the United States in 1909 was of the value of $1,-450,000. Japanese residents in New York in 1909 numberrd 1,431, including 126 students. LEAVES KEEP CLEAN The shape of the leaves is one of the first things a student of botany learns to distinguish. Even the most careless observer sees that some trees and plants have leaves with smooth, rounded edges, while others have their leaves furnished with long points or divided into narrow lobes terminating in drooping or curved ends. While these leaf shapes have formed a subject of study ever since botanical science has existed, it is only within recent years that one of the most remarkable purposes which the points of leaves serve has been clearly brought out. It was shown, at the result of some special investigations made in Germany, that the long points quickly drain off the excess moisture deposited upon the foliage in heavy rains. This ready method of disposing of a surplus of moisture is important to some plants. It also serves as a means of cleaning the surface of the leaves. Round leaves do not so easily get rid of the rain water, and it has been noticed that they remain dusty and dirty after a shower, the escape of the water by evaporation not tending to cleanse them, while long, narrow, and pointed leaves are washed clean and bright.—Scientific American. AMUSEMENTS Next week Miss Bunting will be seen in the famous character, which was the most popular in her repertoire when here before, "Lena Rivers." The millions of people who hsve read Mary J. Holmes' story of Lena Rivers will be sure to want to renew acquaintance with the well known famous character of the play and Miss Bunting stands alone, that is, in a class by herself, in the name part of the play. It waa her starring vehicle on the road when she left here last, and her fame went abroad, until she became famous on account of her characterization of Mrs. Holmes' heroine. Eva Earl French, a big favorite with the patrons of the Alhambra theatre goers, will make her first re-appearance in this week's bills, when "Lena Rivers" is offered next Sunday matinee. The cast will be one of exceptional strength, for Miss Bunting has never been supported by a better company than the one now acting with her at the Alhambra Theater. The report of the Interstate Commerce Commission shows that the last year was the most profitable in the history of American railways. The total profits amounted to $940,076,360, which is nearly $112,000,000 greater than that of the preceding corresponding period.—Scientific American. The excavation work on the big naval drydock at Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian Islands, is completed. The dock is to be 814 feet in length, 113 feet 4 inches in width at the entrance, and at mean high water it will have $32\frac{1}{2}$ feet of water over the keel blocks. Pearl Harbor itself, which is being improved, will be open to navigation probably in 1912. —Ex. By means of the new submarine telephone cable from Dover to Cape Gris Nez, on the French coast, and suitable land lines, it will be possible to carry on a conversation from two ends of the wires in towns 850 miles apart, and it will be easy to speak from London to St. Peterburg. By introducing small self-induction or "loading" coils into each of the wires at spaces of about one mile apart, the defects of indistinctness and weakening of the sound noticeable in long cables of the old time have been overcome. — Exchange.

Bullock for the nomination of city councilman, as he has made a most excellent public official during the twelve months he has been in the council, and if a man ever deserved a second term he does; not so much because it is customary to re-elect worthy public officials, but because he understands the workings of the city council and can render the city a great deal better service than a new man. It may be all right to elect a few new members to the council, but it will be greatly to the detriment of the taxpayers to elect an entirely new council, because there may have been some crooked work pulled off in the police department under the Gill administration. Mr. Bullock has shown conservatism in granting saloon privileges and he has been conservative in voting appropriations for improvements and such men deserve your earnest consideration when you go to vote next Tuesday. In every part of the city and among every class of public men it is the concensus of opinion that William H. Murphy, who has been a member of the city council for the past eleven years, has made a most excellent municipal representative. To be sure Mr. Murphy has often voted different from what you or I would have done, but he would not have been a man if he had not. He has advocated those things, the passage of which, has made the city grow like a green bay tree and there is no excuse for him being opposed at this time and it is verily believed that he will not be, but will be overwhelmingly nominated next Tuesday. Thomas P. Revelle, father of the public market of Seattle, will of course get your vote because he of all men merits it. Mr. Revelle has been tried and not found wanting as a public official and should be nominated next Tuesday. The Seattle Daily Times has promised to run E. L.
