HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - - - Publisher BUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - - Associat EDITORIAL EDICTS Lent which began last Wednesday has vanished the smiles of mid-winter joys. Bouillon has been deposed from his high perch in Edmonston, B. C., but some how or other Grant still holds on in Seattle. Supertendent Grant is not to be blamed for Seattle getting a forty-two story building. He did all he could to prevent it. It would seem that the authorities of Nevada would have imported a carload of Southern Negroes for slaughtering purposes instead of permitting her outlaws to slay Lo, the poor Indians. The news of an indictment having been found against his friend drove the Times editor frantic. He threatened to annihilate the grand jury, but finally let discretion be the better part of valor and dug up. The grand jury in King county prior to the one now siting, strongly intimated that Chief Ward had better resign, and he did. The present grand jury seems to be of the opinion that Wappy had better confess, we wonder if he will. The United States senate has voted to sustain Senator Lorimer, who was charged with buying his way into the senate. No more was expected from the men who voted for him, the most of whom will retire from the senate Maarch 4th, and all becaese they voted for other things equally as flagrant as the Lorimer case. Of course Washington's senior senator voted for Lorimer, and that, too, was expected by his constitutents. After a bitter controversy between the magazines of the country and the pompadoured fossil, who unfortunately fills the portfolio of postmaster general, the senate refused to raise the rates on mazazines. The reason the government loses on account of carrying the magazines is because she has been hoodwinked into paying the railroads ten times more for carrying the mails than the railroads get far carrying any other kind of commercial commodities. If the story about the dismissal of three men from the post office of Seattle be true it is really criminal instead of shameful. For years, if reports from that office from time to time were half true, things have been run in a high handed way in the Seattle office, a clique of three, of which the assistant postmaster played a conspicuous part, practically dictating all of the promotions that took place. If you stood in with those men you were promoted, but if you did not, then you had hard sledding to even retain your place in the office, much less being promoted. While Postmaster Russell is not directly charged with being a party to the dismissal of the three men, who are taking their case to higher authorities, yet he did nothing to prevent them from being unjustly treated. The arbitrary methods often enforced in the postoffice by some of the high titled employees should not only be reported, but those officers should be let down a peg. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1911 [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. GOVERNOR M. E. HAY William H. Murphy, who has been a member of the city council for the past eleven years, has always worked in the interest of the tax payers and at all times for the building up of the city, and being one of the eighteen nominees for the city council he should be elected as one of the nine councilmen. In the primaries he did not get as many votes as others, who were nominated, but it is the concensus of opinion, now that the voters have had time to reflect, that a sad mistake was made and that Murphy, for his good work for the city during his occupancy of the office of councilman was deserving of as large a vote as any other candidate running. It is a fact that he is largely responsible for the north end of the city getting improvements that it has, which have developed it more rapidly than any other section of the city. For years after he was elected to the council he was the only councilman north of Lake Union, and he worked for the north end without ceasing. Altogether too many persons in the United States are looking for government care after they have grown old and decrepit, and all because they have followed some kind of work in which the government is to an extent interested, and if you please, vitally so. The bill now pending before the Washington legislature to grant a life pension to the school teachers, who have served a number of years in that capacity should be defeated and killed so hard that the proposers of such a bill should likewise be politically killed and beyond the hope of resurrection. The school teacher is paid a liberal salary for the work he or she does as a teacher, and if the earnings of a school teacher be conservatively invested it will be sufficient to maintain said teacher after he or she becomes too old to teach. Why not pension the chronic office holder and every other kind of public parasite that thinks he would like to make a living by not exerting him or herself? One as deserving as the other. Months ago The Seattle Republican took the position that, if the legislature would muster out the entire National Guard of the state the tax payers would be delighted. The legislative committee that has been investigating the affairs of the guard has recommended that Col. George B. Lamping, Col. Otto Case, Col. Matt H. Gormley, Col. William Inglis, Major E. G. Griggs and Major Howard Darlington be retired from the service and it arrived at such a conclusion after finding those officers had kept up a contiual warfare in the guard. Careless bookkeeping is also reported and graft on the part of some of the officials is also hinted. Trying to buy honor, has been laid at the door of Andrew Carnegie and he has not denied it, and, if he should, no one would believe him, and all because money has been used to purchase that commodity ever since the mind of man runneth not to the contrary. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 publican VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 40 It has been recently brought out in the affairs of the city that the superintendent of the incinerator is paid $225 per month to burn the garbage of the city. To the average business man that is almost an astounding price to pay for that work. If the salary of that superintendent was cut to $100 per month it would then seem he was getting more than he is actually worth. The people, money is voted away like spring water and some halt should be called in that line. From the Chronicle at Olympia it is learned that an unusually large run of smelts is found in the bay at that point and many tons are taken by the local fishermen and shipped to the larger cities. From the price that the customers have to pay for teem in the local markets of Seattle it would seem that there is a scarcity of them in the local markets of Seattle and no over-supply, but it matters not how many are sent in, rather than cheapen the price the dealers will dump them back into the bay. If the bill that has been passed by the house of representatives of the Washington legislature runs the gauntlet of the senate and the executive department, it will be unlawful for police judges and justices of the peace to abuse prisoners at the bar after they have been found guilty. Some of the representatives must be police conrt lawyers and have heard their clients severely reprimanded at the bar, which is not right and yet lower court judges always seem called upon to administer such tongue lash justice to those unfortunates. When the United States senate voted to indefinitely postpone the bill giving the people the right to elect United States senators by popular vote it did just what the people expected the present members of the senate would do, but a time is coming when a similar bill will pass the senate and be signed by the president with eagerness, because the people all over the country demand it. The old stand-pat guard is dying hard, but there is no doubt of the fact that it is dying and the sooner the better. Seattle's grand jury is still grinding away, and so far as the general public is concerned it is either doing nothing or piling up indictments so high that it will take a score of deputy sheriffs two months to serve them all, and the witnesses to the same. The grand jury is to be congratulated for not reporting its daily work to the newspapers. Many witnesses are being summoned before the body of inquistors, and judging from the men who call on the body each day it would seem that a wide scope of affairs is being gone over. Again Seattle has been turned down in the way of recognition on the supreme bench of the state as the vacancy created by the resignation of Judge Rudkin has been filled by the governor appointing O. G. Ellis. True enough the place was tendered Harold Preston, which he declined, but there are plenty of other Seatale attorneys deserving of the place, and, in view of the fact that Seattle furnishes one-fourth of all the cases the supreme court has before it from time to time, it does seem that she is entitled to more than one place on the tench. But there is no use of crying over spilt milk, it was not done, and whatever is, is. It is estimated that there are about 530,000,000,000 board feet of timber on the national forests. Though the aggregate is great, these figures show a low average per acre of under 4,000 board feet. The work of re-forestation shows an encouraging progress. Over 9,000 acres of re-forestation were sown during the year. Something like a half billion feet were sold during the past year. The sales of timber on the national forests have been growing less since 1907.—Scientific American. The American Consul in Hong Kong reports that China is ripe for the introduction of electrical machinery. However, an educational campaign is needed. --- POLITICS AND THE POLITICIANS 2 E. L. Blaine, drior to the election one year ago, when asked by a saloon man, what he proposed to do to the saloons in case he was elected to the council, replied. "If I am elected I will be absolutely fair to those saloon men doing business under the laws of the state. I will not look with favor on the giving to any one saloon man special privileges and denying the same to others. I shall try, so far as within my power, to see that every saloon keeper be given an absolute square deal." During the year he sat as a member of the city council he lived up to that, and the saloon men have never had cause to complain of any unfairness on the part of Councilman Blaine. Last Monday evening an ordinance was introduced in the city council establishing the all day saloon, and it came from a source, which seemed to Mr. Blaine to savor of punishing some one for not delivering in the primary election, and the ordinance, coming as it did, came under the ban that he had promised to fight against that every saloon man got a square deal under the law, and he therefore, moved to indefinitely postpone the ordinance and it was done, Blaine should lead the ticket at the election next Tuesday for being absolutely fair. "Frank P. Mullen is one of one most valuable men the city has ever had in the council, and if a new man is put on the work that he has been doing, it will take him months and months to be of any service whatever to the city, and for that reason I would consider it almost a calamity should he not be elected, and yet I have troubles of my own and am not mixing in the fight that will be pulled off next Tuesday, only for mysef. I expected to see him run ahead of the print-ticket and his vote was therefore a great surprise to me." said Councilman Blaine one day this week. This paper has always been for the nomination and election of A. J. Goddard, not only in the contest, which will close next Tuesday, but also one pulled off a year ago, and it is for him now because he has made good in the city council, and he deserves the support of every honest man. In the city council he has not always voted as we would have had him do had we been directing him, but he has always voted his honest convictions, and these convictions have always been on the side of the tax payers. Owing to the fact that not more than one-half the tax payers read THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN, he only got eighth place on the ticket placing him, if the primary election is any criterion, in the one year term, but in our opinion at the general election he will be one of the three year term men and he richly deserves the same. Vote for Goddard, if you love your home. Among the eighteen members of the retiring council none are more deserving everlasting praise of the whole city than Max Wardall, who opened the flood gates of vice, which resulted in it being driven out of the city. Had not Wardall been a fearless man he would never have dared to have ventured in on the Gill administration and turn it topsy turvey as he did. Try as hard as it could the vicious editor of the Times was not able to find one thing detrimental to the good name of Wardall, and that in itself should result in him being one of the three high men next Tuesday. There my be just as straightforward and upright candidates for the city council as A. F. Haas, but one thing is certain, there are none more so. If he is elected he will see to it that the city and the tax payers get a sqsare deal, and this is said from personal knowledge of the man rather than from a campaign standpoint. The editor of this paper has known Mr. Haas for the past twenty years and has yet the first man to hear speak an unkind word against him. Vote for Haas. It would be cruel to the tax payers to fill the city council up with men of no experience in the world in the duties they would have to perform, and for that reson a good sprinkling of the members of the old council should be re-elected. This paper is going to advocate the election of W. H. Weaver, who was one of the lucky eighteen and ran tenth on the list. Mr. Weaver has made an exceptionally good member of the council and has always been at his post of duty and if re-elected, would be a strong spoke in the good government wheel that Mayor Dilling has set on foot. If he lives up to the record he has already made he will do nothing that will injure the credit of the city. Vote for Weaver and keep up the good reputation you have already made in cleaning out the city. ICS AND THE POLIT This paper is for Austin E. Griffith because he has made good in the deliberative bodies of the city of which he has been a member and the records show that os a member of the Chamber of Commerce he has been chairman of many of its most important committees. He is for clean government and is for all men up and you should therefore vote for him because you know he is square and honest. Oliver T. Erickson is one of the leading manufacturers of the city and is likewise one of the most progressive men in the city. The vote he received in the primary election was a very flattering one and shows that the people hold him in high esteem. He has little or no experience in the work he aspires to undertake after next Tuesday, but he will prove a most useful member. Vote for Erickson because he will infuse new blood in the council. J. R. H. Jacoby was sworn in as United States marshal last Wednesday and he at once named all of the present deputies in the office as deputies under his administration at least for the time being, and the office routine moved on in the even tenor of its way without any one observing the change. Regninald H. Thomson, city engineer of Seatttle, returned from Washington City, whither he went to represent the city in the matter of purchasing lands about the water shed of Cedar river, in which he was eminently successful. While Mr. Thomson was out of the city the recall election was pulled off and his official absence enabled him to dodge the bitterness of that campaign for which he has no regrets. 0 William Piggott has been one of the busiest men in all Seattle for the past week, which was due to the fact, he was superintending the loading of the Bufort, which is to take supplies from Seattle to the starving Chinese. It will be remembered that as a representative of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, he toured the most of the commercial localities of the Chinese government last fall and was very highly impressed with the possibilities of entering into some kind of trade relations with the Chinese government. 0 Lovett M. Wood, recently appointed by the president as commercial agent of the United States in China, will sail for his post of duty about the 20th of March. His wife will not accompany him and he expects to be gone the first trip not less than a year. He thinks he will gather data that will prove exceedingly valuable for the commercial spirit of this country, and be the means of opening a splendid commercial territory to the merchants of the United States, and particularly the Pacific Coast. Mr. Wood is one of the best posted men along commercial lines in the United States. 9 FRANK P. MULLEN One of the nominees for city council, who has served the city as few men could as chairman of the street committee and should be re-elected next Tuesday. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is looking for legal publications and if you have one, call Main 305 and we will do the rest. ICIANS FRIDAY, March 3, 1911 PERSONS TALKED ABOUT L. H. Gray writes from Los Angeles: "Beautiful weather, no politics, no worry." Some weeks ago Mr. Gray sold out his steamship business and practically retired from business, although he thinks he will do some investment business upon his return to the city. Charles W. Wappenstein for many years a conspicuous figure in the police circles of Seattle, is now himself in the toils of the police, and there are those who would like to see him put through the third degree just as he has put so many others through. Will H. Morris who is the central figure in the legal battle now being fought over Hillman, will soon be the central figure in the legal battle over Wappenstein. If the past is any criterion, both Hillman and Wappenstein will go Scott free, and all because they have Morris as their attorney. Since the grand jury returned an indictment against Wappy, Hot Stuff, the detective, has disappeared from the front page of the Times, and we suspect he did so because the stuff handed out by the grand jury was such hot stuff that it burnt the Colonel's fingers. --- Samuel Hill, the good road's enthusiast, has recently returned from California, and is not feeling very hopeful over the prospects of getting a good road built between California and Seattle which will permit the Californians to automobile to Seattle and spend their summers here as the Washingtonians are spending their winters there. The prospects of the present legislature of Washington stopping all road work by the convicts he also regrets. D. K. Sickles, clerk of King county, is to retire a year and ten months from now, and already a fierce row has broken out among the employees of that office and other court house parasites, as to which one will succeed him. The late cleaning out the people gave the city political parasites ought to be a warning as to what is in store for the court house loafers. J. W. Clise, representing the L. C. Smith estate, is delighted to get all of the troubles concerning the forty-two storey building, which is to be erected in Seattle this year, smoothed out. Actual work will be begun within a very few weeks, and before snow flies the building will be well under way. J. H. Bohlke's name was, by an oversight, left out of the lucky eighteen, but from the nice things that are being said about him all over the city, he will be among fortunate nine Boyd P. Doty, according to rumor, is to retire from the superintendency of the Anti-Saloon League in Washington and take it easy for a season. The job must be a remunerative one. Fred L. Rice, who is a candidate for one of the judgeships to be, feels that he has the situation well in hand and will land with ease. He is said to have strong friends at court. Charles B. Hopkins, who has been United States marshal so long that he concluded he was a fixture, is now an ordinary citizen like U and I. It occurs to us that for once Wappy has enough money on deposit to hold him for a while. Whatever else may be said of or about Joe Smith, one of the nominees for the council, he has always been an advocate of the people as against the interests and if he should be elected, and do in the council as he has written and talked in the past he will not go very far wrong. His candiacy is being well received. Gid Tupper, who peached on Charles W. Wappenstein, if reports be true, may be under a heavy bail to appear as a witness against Wappenstein, but the strange thing is he has not been indicted for conspiracy against the city, which charge, says a prominent attorney, would catch not only Tupper, Gerald and Wappenstein, but even Mayor Gil and a number of "higher up," who are wearing a never-touched-me-air these days. If uneasy lies the head that wears the crown, then doubly uneasy lies the head that exacted graft from the fallen men and women of Seattle while Gill was her mayor. --- ITEMS MORE OR LESS INTERESTING FRIDAY. March 3. 1911 THAT NEW JAPANESE TREATY The United senate has passed a new treaty with Japan and the two countries are rejoicing over the same, and all because the treaty relations threatened to bring about an ugly situation between them, which might have resulted in bloodshod. The full text of the treaty has not been published in the press of the country as yet, but enough of it has to give the people of the United States to understand that this country is not to be flooded with Japanese emigrants. Discussing the probable passage of the treaty by the senate the Union Record of Seattle in its last issue spoke as follows: "The treaty with Japan which the president wants confirmed by the United States senate would place the entire Pacific Coast at the mercy of the nation striving for commercial supremacy in the Northwest. "Natives of Japan are crowding out the white gardeners on this coast they are entering all lines of industry in competition with white labor; they are opening up stores in all lines of mercantile pursuits, and if the bill passed in the state senate becomes law they will be future landlords." The above view of the Japanese is so puerile that no real man would have used such an argument. The white man is able to hold his own with any human being in existence and we deny the allegation and defy the allegator that the white man can be crowded out by the Japanese or any other kind of neese. He has as much or more physical endurance than the Jap and he has more skill, and is therefore, doubly able to hold his own in any kind of competition with the Jap or any other nationality. The union man who thinks as does the Record is a lion with the heart of a mouse and only fights when he gets a great host of his kith and kin around him. Such cowards are not deserving the protection of the flag of the land of the free and the home of the brave. INFANT INDUSTRIES FOR SEATTLE While this paper is not prepared to discuss the feasibility of F. M. Spinning establishing a bicycle factory in Seattle, from an investment standpoint, because that is the business of the man desiring to put his money in such an undertaking, but if he is willing to risk his money in it he should be given all the encouragement possible by the men who profess to have the growth of the city at heart. Everybody knows that the great drawback to Seattle is her lack of a bucket brigade. True enough she has a few gigantic industrial concerns that are sending their wares all over the country and which give employment to quite an army of workmen, but a city the size of Seattle should have a hundred an one small industries, comparatively speaking, that would give employment to multiplied hundreds of citizens. While it is not surmised that Mr. Spinning is planning to establish a small industry, yet it will of necessity have to start on a small scale and gradually expand. The business men of Seattle who grew rich out of selling corner lots for the most part seem to think the selling of [corner lots at fabulous figures over the purchase price is going to go on and on without ceasing and they will not have to trouble themselves about fostering infant industries to keep the city up to its high standard of business life, but in this they are sadly mistaken, and unless such institutions as that of which Mr. Spinning is talking of establishing are fostered their corner lots and even their sky scrapers will not be worth a tinker's damn. Some months ago THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN called Seattle's public attention to the harness factory that Engene W. Way was struggling to establish in Seattle and pointed out some of the reasons why the business men of the city should render him financial assistance, and while Mr. Way says some of them did, yet not enough of them came to his assistance to make it the success within a few months that it could have been. Hot air may be necessary for the heating of the big sky scrapers after they have been erected, but hot air plays a mighty poor part in erecting such edifices. To do that it takes the money, the cold, silent cash, the almighty dollar. MET A DESERVED DEATH Without warning the house of representatives of the twelfth legislature of the state of Washington dealt the county unit local option bill, that has been agitated by the advocates of such a measure in the legislature ever since it assembled in January, a peath blow and the bill is now so dead that putrification has MORE OR LESS INT [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] COL. MATT H. GORMLEY For six years treasurer of King county, and for many years an official of high rank in the National Guard of Washington, will be permanently retired if the recommendation of the military investigation committee is passed by the legislature. sst in. It is possibly true that the tendency of the state is toward state wide prohibition, and there are those who are now in the saloon business who predict that within the next five years the state will be in the prohibition column, but even that is no excuse for the county option bill being passed. The state has already a splendid local option law and one that has worked most admirably, and all sides should have been willing to let well enough alone until they make the final move to turn the state into the prohibition column. That everlasting tinkering with the measure is damnable and disgusting. and likewise distaseful to even the advocates of state wide prohibition, and if Doty and his adherents keep it up there will be no show of it ever being put in the dry column. There was no good and sufficient reason for Doty and his anti-saloon lobby being at Olympia this year and the house is to be congratulated for having dealt the pernicious measure a solar plexus below the belt, which put it to sleep for at least two years more. This paper took the stand at the opening of the legislature that the present law should be tried out and if it continued to operate as well as it had done since then the most rabid temperance man could find no fault with it. A VERY REMARKABLE ADMISSION Recently the Seattle Press Club entertained the local Chinese colony including the men, women and children, and in commenting upon it the Times said, "It was remarkable because the Chinese women and children appeared socially with the Americans." Exceedingly remarkable might make it stronger, and it needs to be as strong as language can make it. These heathen, and to say the least, repulsive people to the American white man, were wined and dined by the white man, his wife and children—and for why? To curry favor with them for new fields in which the white man may sell and barter his articles of trade and commerce. It took the standing army to prevent the citizens of Seattle from driving the Chinese located in the city into the very ocean only a few years ago because the Chinese were coming here in great numbers and only wanted to wash the dirty linen of the white man. But yesterday protests from the Chamber of Commerce flew over the wires to Washington City against the inte international tregty between the United States and Japan, if it permitted the Japanese to come into the United States the same as white men from the European countries. It is very remarkable because those whites who entertained the Chinese knew that no more of them could come to the United States and they would slobber over the few that are here and --- make a pretense of having buried the hatchet, and stood ready to receive the Chinese with open arms socially and otherwise, and by that kind of soft soap would make them lose their heads and forget their troubles, which would prove another entering wedge for the trade of the Chinese government. Very remarkable, mildly putting it in view of the fact that this self same Seattle Press Club disbanded and reorganized because one of the charter members of the first organization was a highly educated man that had one fourth Negro blood in his veins and the members felt that it would be lowering the white man's dignity to mingle with a Negro, as they put it; and that too, despite fact that the objectional member owned more real estate than any other member of the club. It is very remarkable because the Seattle Press Club demonstrated and admitted that the members thereof were as inconsistent as Thompson's colt that swam the river to get a drink. The citizens of the United States throughout the civilized world are branded as a lot of unscrupulous traders and stand ready to stoop to anything in order to get a chance to eucher the other fellow out of his money, and the action of the Seattle Press Club in socially entertaining the Chinese is but a fair sample of it. GRAND JURY INDICTS WAPPY The expected has happened and Charles W. Wappenstein, former chief of police of Seattle, has been indicted by the grand jury now in session, and so serious did the jury consider the case that it asked Judge Main to fix the bail at $25,000, which was done and the same given by the accused. It is the concensus of opinion that Mr. Wappenstein is up against the real thing and unless death interposes not even Big Bill Morris can save him from a term in state prison. Revenge is sweet and the human being that does not rejoice at a draught thereof does not seem to have yet been born. Everybody thought and almost knew that Wappenstein would be indicted and even he, himself, was of the opinion, owing to public sentiment in Seattle just now, the grand jury would return a true bill of indictment against him and he knew there was nothing for him to do but to face the music, and if need be, take his medicine, but the arresting officer after the papers had been placed in his hands for service, clothed himself in garments of sleuth and proceeded to seek the accused in the places down town where he was known to pass his time away, and from them he went to the home of the accused, where he was taken into custody. If the officer could have overlooked the opportunity to drink at the fountain of revenge and had have telephoned to Charles W. Wappenstein and informed him that he held a warrant for his arrest, he Wappy, would have told him, "in thirty minutes I will meet you at the office of my attorney and then you serve your papers." Just as much would have been accomplished and the disposition of one man domineering over another would have been cut out. Despite our boasted superiority of civilization and our great boasts of humanitarianism there seems to be only a step between our civilization and that of the barbarian. Our erring brother is one to be pittied rather than to be humiliated, and may the day come when the spirit of kindness will replace that of revenge in the human heart. ABE RUEF'S END HAS COME After months of batttling against going to state prison to serve a fourteen year sentence, Abe Ruef, the notorious go-between in San Francisco, has lost his case and is now in prison cell preparatory to being sent to state prison. It's a long road that has no turn and the fellow who lives by his wits will sooner or later get his as Reuf will now verily testify to. Detective Burns was the butt of a good deal of innocent amusement on account of his San Francisco expose, but he did his work well and should not have been held responsible for opinions of the judges on questions of techincal law. The Wappenstein case in Seattle promises an equally long legal battle as the Reuf case, but those who think they know, declare the final outcome will be the same George F. Vandevere, late prosecuting attorney of King county, has returned from Oregon, where he has interested himself in some farm lands. 4 Indorsed by a vote of 221 to 92 the House of Representatives last week, and almost unanimously acclaimed by the press of all parties, the Canadian reciprocity agreement is already regarded by many editors as President Taft's winning stroke, the great hit of his administration, establishing him, as the Philadelphia public Ledger (Ind.), remarks, in a position of national leadership. "It has started a wave of popular approval sweeping the country," declares the Pittsburg Sun (Dem.), and the New York American (Ind.) describes the headway made by the reciprocity movement as "a political phenomenon nearly unparalleled in our times." Its ultimate triumph affirms the New York Evening World (Dem.). is "as certain as any future event can be." The most serious obstacle that it has encountered, editors and correspondents agree, is the charge that the agreement is so framed as to discriminate against the farmer in favor of the manufacturer. Thus the attitude of the farmers themselves toward this charge becomes a matter of prime importance, and interest centers around the question whether they will or will not be benefited by the proposed plan. "If the farming element should come out strongly in opposition," declares the Boston Transcript (Ind. Rep.), "the bill would have no hope at this session or any other." The same paper is inclined to think that while the farming interests, particularly in the grain belt, regard the proposition coldly, their opposition is not emphatic. The hostile votes in the House were almost all cast by stand-pat Republicans and by representatives from the purely agricultural states. Yet at almost the same time that the insurgent congressmen from Kansas were voting against this measure of tariff reform, the Kansas legislature was passing a resolution indorsing it. And in Minnesota, in Oregon, and elsewhere in the farming Northwest, the New York Evening Mail (Ind. Rep.) tells us local sentiment in various ways declaring itself in favor of the agreement. Despite this there are many pessimistic Republicans about the Capitol, the Washington correspondent of the New York Globe (Rep.) tells us, who believe that the president's stand on the reciprocity question "has driven the farmers away from the Republican party." Senator Lafayette Young (Rep.), of Iowa, declares that the terms of the agreement spell wide-spread ruin to the farmers of this country. Speaker Cannon, in a letter to an Illinois legislator, denounces the scheme as one-ssded "because we give Canada an immense market for her farm produce both in theory and in fact, while she affords us practically no market for farm products in fact, whatever may be the theory." Senator Cummins of Iowa one of the leaders of Insurgency, approves of reciprocity, but says that the proposed agreement is not liberal enough to the American farmer. "He appears to hold," remarks the New York Herald (Ind.), "that no bread is better than half a loaf." But THE TARIFF TAKEN OUT OF POLITICS [Name not provided in the image] of the Frye Company, Seattle's packing house plant, and the most extensive in the Northwest, who is a Seattle builder of the royal type, has further shown his city building spirit by taking out a permit for the erection of an immense building on Western Avenue, in the wholesale and commission district, to cost not less than a million dollars. Charley Frye is charged with being a Seattle builder because he is one of her most extensive producers and shippers. Nothing is so good an advertising medium for a growing city as her manufactured goods and wares in other cities and communities.

As showing that the agreement is not an honest effort to reduce the cost of living, it is pointed out that while wheat is put on the free list flour is taxed, and that while live stock is free, meats are taxed for the benefit of the meat trust.

Thus the New York Sun (Ind.) speaks of the "deluded grangers." and the Boston Advertiser (Rep.) characterizes theeir protests as "unprogrogressive, unwise, and unpatriotic." The Boston paper goes on to say: "The last experience of this country with reciprocity in farm products was also under a treaty --- with Canada. Nobody prospered more, under that arrangement, than did the farmers close to the Canadian line. They found that the value of their farms increased amazingly. The statistics of the increase in the value of farm and farm buildings live stock, etc., in that period, may well be commended to the Grange members who profess to believe that they will be harmed by adv reciprocity agreement." and the most extensive natural type, has further for the erection of an and commission dis- Frye is charged with intensive producers and for a growing city as communities.

To quote in part: "The Southern states have a new market for for their cottonseeds oils which will be valuable to them. Canada opens her doors to our fruits, which will give to our orchardists a growing market for their products. --- FRIDAY March 3, 1911 We are to have free trade in seeds, which is well, because many seeds are more valuable coming from northern latitudes. We do not grow enough flax to make our oils and will derive benefit from the free introduction of flaxseed. Free barbed fencing wire will be a boon to our farmers." President Taft himself, speaking in Columbus, Ohio, asks the farmers to support him in his fight for the agreement. Let it be adopted, he declares, "and in six months the farmers of the border who now have fears will rejoice in this great step toward closer business and social relations with our neighbors. The whole country—farmer, manufacturer, railroad company, middleman, warehouseman—all will be the gainer." Again, speaking in Springfield, Illinois, he explains that, "we would have been glad to put meats on the free list, but Canada objected, and we obtained the best figures we could." As to the effect of reciprocity on the value of our farm lands, he says: "The suggestion that the opening of our markets to Canadian wheat and other cereals will reduce the price of land in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and Iowa is refuted by every table of statistics that presents the comparative increases of land in those states further West. "To let the wheat field of the Northwest come down to Minneapolis and Chicago will steady the price of wheat, will prevent its fluctuations, will make much more difficult speculation, and will furnish us greater insurance against short crops and high prices. But that will in the end substantially reduce the price of wheat, which is fixed for the world in Liverpool, no one familiar with the conditions will assert." The papers, even in agricultural states, very generally rally to the support of the president's measures. Among these advocates of freer trade with Canada are the Topeka Capital (Rep.) tae St. Paul Pioneer Press (Ind. Rep.), the Des Moines News (Ind. Rcp.), the Toleda Blade (Rep.), the Burlington News (Rep.), and the Portland Oregonian. Says the Portland paper: "Our exports of farm products are dwindling each year. If we expect to retain our present prosperity, we must make up the deficiency by shipping more manufactures. That means more men employed in factories and an increased home consumption of farm products." The Chicago - News (Ind.) warns the farmers that they are in danger of being used as a cat's paw to pull chestnuts out of the fire for others. We read: "The farmer should not be deceived. The reactionaries want to use him in keeping unreasonablp high prices of manufactured articles that the farmer has to purchase. They have no fear for him if Canadian reciprocity goes into effect. Their fear is for their system of putting high chargas upon consumers."—Literery Digest. Send your Legals to The Seattle Republican, 427 Epler Block Phone Main 305. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP BONDS---VOTE NO tions of the city? Sentimentalism for a time sounds and feels awfully good, but when you get down to hard headed business it does not amount to a tinker's damn. In purchasing this road the city would be called upon to expend in round numbers an even million dollars, and from which she could not possibly get any returns. For a time it would be operated and then it would be sold to some company. It is utterly impossible for any city to operate a street car system or any other kind of public service system in a city like Seattle unless it has a complete system. With the Renton Southern only bringing its passengers from Taylor's mill to the end of the line and then having no provisions for transfer it would mean that the city had donated a million dollars to the residents of the Rainier Valley in order for them to ride to and from the city on a five-cent fare. The burden of taxation in Seattle is already far too high and to add other taxations of a local nature thereto, even though some of her citizens would be benefited thereby, would be class or sectional legislation, and it is unfair for one section of the city to expect all of the other sections to vote a tax on them-seuves for an improvement that is only beneficial to the one section or locality. There is hardly a sensible person in Seattle that is not willing and anxious to see W. R. Crawford of the Renton Southern line severely rebuked for the drastic and arbitrary methods he has enforced against those dependent on his line for transit to and from the city and they would go out of their way to administer that rebuke, but it is foolhardy to ask of them to burden themselves with a useless tax on their property in order to rebuke him. In opposing the bonds for the purchase of this road it is not done to help any other company or in the spirit of fighting municipal ownership, but because it is not a business proposition. Why advocate the city purchasing something that you know will prove not only a heavy burden of taxation for its purchase price, but likewise a heavy taxation for current operating expenses. While the Rainier Valley is a very prosperous and thriving suburb it has not sufficient inhabitants to make that road profitable for the city to operate. The Seattle Republican was an ardent advocate of the municipal ownership of the water and lighting plants of the city, and it perhaps would advocate the municipal ownership of a street railway system, providing the proposition was gone at on business principles, but, as said above, the move to have the city take over the Crawford line is selfish on the part of the residents along the line and done more for the sake of punishing the owners of the line for not toting fair than as a meritorious proposition, and it is unbusiness-like to try to rope the whole city into such a muddle. To get control of that system it would mean an almost endless amount of litigation on the part of the city and the end, though successful, would not justify the trouble and expense of getting control of it. Yes, of course the city council passed the ordinance for the voters to have an opportunity to say whether or not they favored the purchasing of the road and for that there are those inclined to criticise them, but every member of the council that voted for that ordinance was at the time a candidate to succeed himself in the council and to vote no meant the loss of every vote in the valley. What would you have done? Then again the members of the council took the view that it was not for them to give a final decision on the matter and since the initiative and referendum theory had been adopted by the city it was a matter for the voters themselves to decide. Seattle has about 300,000 inhabitants and of that number not to exceed 5,000 would be directly benefited by the purchase of the road in question, and yet the other 295,000 would have to share in the burden of the expense of the purchase price and the loss of operating the same. A wooden man would see at a moment's glance that such a proposition is so unfair and one sided that it is really ridiculous. Run Crawford out of town if you will, but do not call on the other fellows to pay for something in which they can hardly be said to even be indirectly interested. When that section came into the city no promise was made to it that the city would build a street car line to bring the residents thereof to the city for five cents, and so if you vote against those bonds you will be betraying no trust or promise. Seattle has no municipal street car system and it is not right for her to start into the business for the express purpose of accommodating something like one-sixtieth of her population. Do not take a chance that the bonds will be defeated, but be sure to make an X opposite, Against The Bonds. When the attention of one of the valley enthusiasts for the purchasing of this road is pointed out, that the road is purely a local proposition, he replies: "Well since there is a move being made in the direction of municipal ownership in Seattle this would be a splendid opportunity FRIDAY March 3. 1911 It is the duty of every voter in Seattle to vote against the propose issue of $800,000 in street railway bonds at the election next Tuesday. This is particularly true as to those voters who own or rent homes of their own and are dependent upon wages for the money to take care of their families. Seattle now has a bonded interest-bearing debt of over $36,000,000 and its taxpayers have to pay over $1,-500,000 interest every year. This is a heavy burden to add to the necessary expense of running a great city and Seattle's expenses are not low. So not only is Seattle's city debt greater than the debt of any other city that has not almost twice Seattle's population, but its tax-rate is higher than that of any other city on the Pacific Coast. So far the splendid location of this city, its great natural resources and the energy of its people have made it able to carry its vast debt and its high rate of taxation without apparent injury. But one bond issue after another has been voted until the time to halt has plainly arrived. Any further increase in the city's debt, particularly for an unnecessary purpose like city-ownership of a Rainier Valley line that will soon be paralleled by the Seattle Electric Company, is bound to prevent new enterprises locating here. Such an increase would mean still higher taxes and manufacturers and others who would invest capital and spend money here and give employment to Seattle's workmen would be driven elsewhere. Portland, with a debt only one-third as great as Seattle's and with a much lower tax-rate and much lower special assessments is eagerly watching Seattle and making use of every addition to this city's debt and every increase in its rate of taxation as arguments to induce people to locate in Portland instead of in Seattle. Those who want Seattle to have low taxes, and prosperity and those who want wages to be fair and employment plentiful in this city will vote against street railway bonds. But whatever may be the inclination of the average Seattle voter to advocate the municipal ownership of street railways, the purchasing of the Renton Southern to the city limits would be neither sensible nor a step in the direction of practical municipal ownership of street railways further than a mere name. If the city should purchase that jerk water system, it would mean that those who really believe in the theory of such a municipal innovation would have their ideas rudely shattered without seeing the system have the slightest semblance of a fair test. There is no doubt but that the residents of Rainier Valley have been shamefully mistreated by the pin-headed policy of the president of the Renton Southern road, but it would mean nothing toward remedying their grievances and wish to get good street car service to and from their homes, for the city to purchase that road, which could only be run at a great financial loss, which loss the taxpayers all over the city would have to bear. Because the citizens of Rainier Valley find themselves at a serious disadvantage on account of the arbitrary methods of the officers of the Renton Southern, it is no argument that the residents of the whole city should be burdened with a tax, that will in the end neither relieve nor remedy the troubles. It will, it must be admitted, punish some one against whom the residents of that particular section of the city have a grievance, but is that a business proposition for those taxpayers who do not live there? Perhaps there are hundreds and thousands of residents of Seattle that think they have a genuine grievance against the Seattle Electric Company, but every fair minded resident of the city must admit that that company is giving every section of the city, where it has lines, splendid street car service, and at a most reasonable rate. The working man living at Green Lake, at Mt. Baker Park, or any of the other outlying suburbs is not inconvenienced in getting to and from his work in the heart of the city, which is proof sufficient that, the Seattle Electric Company is giving the best of service. Now if this company is giving good service to every section of the city, is it not perfectly natural to think, if given an opportunity, it would give the Rainier Valley section equally as good service? Instead of the city buying that short line at a heavy expense and running the same at a heavy loss one month with another, why not try to make it possible for the Seattle Electric Company to extend its service to that section and give the residents of that valley the same kind of service that South Park, Green Lake and the other suburbs are getting? Would it not be cheaper to the taxpayers all over the city and a thousand times more beneficial to the residents of the valley to have the Seattle Electric Company build a line through the valley than for the city to own that short line, which if it really paid at all, would but serve the residents of the Rainier Valley and be of no service in the world to the other sec- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN to try out what there really is in the municipal theory." In other words, all of the taxpayers are asked to put up a million dollars and then sum for experimental purposes and the article to be experimented with in comparison to a real municipal ownership system of street railways, is about as would be a toy dummy line at some pleasure resort to the Seattle Electric system. The operators of the Madison park toy dummy line might pull up their road in utter disgust after a summer season trial, in which they sustained heavy losses, and go away declaring the operating of a street car system in Seattle an absolute impossibility. So also would it be with experimenting with that Rainier Valley line as to the advisibility of the city of Seattle plumbing head long into general ownership of street railways. The experiment would prove a failure in less than two months and then the genuine theory of municipal ownership would be given such a black eye that it would be many years before it could recover from the effects of the blow. Of course such men as George F. Cotterill is advocating the bonds, but not because he thinks it a business proposition, but because he always has it in for the Seattle Electric company. Thus the taxpayers are urged to vote the bonds by the Rainier Valley citizens in order to punish the Seattle, Renton & Southern and the men of the Cotterill stripe urge the bonds because they want to punish the Seattle Electric company.

The suffrage has lately been granted to women in the state of Washington. Seattle's new charter provides for the recall of the mayor provided he does not give satisfaction. Mayor Gill, elected less than a year ago, by his management of the police department and in other details of administration seemed to divers of the voters to fall below the average Seattle standard of morality and progress. Accordingly his critics got to work under the new charter to put him out. And they did it. Twenty-two thousand women registered and a large proportion of them voted. As the population of Seattle is about 240,000, we judge that at least a fourth of the votes were cast by women. Doubtless they did not all vote one way, but the vote was close, Gill was beaten, and there seems to be no room for doubt that the women's vote did it. George Dilling was elected, and will proceed at once to give Seattle a moral and progressive administration, vice Gill, Laggers behind, who do not recognize the chalk line in our cities when the see it, will please take notice. Seattle votes again on March 7th to elect nine councilmen to succeed its present council of eighteen. About half the women qualified to vote were registered last week, and it is to see how many more will register and vote next month. Ex-Mayor Gill is described as a popular police court lawyer. His personal integrity was not attacked, but he got into trouble trying to regulate and segregate the social evil. There was disapproval of his chief of police, and it was felt, and has been for some time past, that "corrupt politics, the criminal classes, and privileged business men have had too heavy a hand on the administration of Seattle's affairs." - Harper's Weekly. PASSINO OF TWO HIGH SOULS Archbishop Ryan and Bishop Whittaker were close friends in life, they were called almost together, the Archbishop living but a day after the Bishop died. They were examples to men all their lives, their going almost together should be a lesson to men. They were of different creeds, but they recognized that each had the same hopes, the same divine master, and that he would judge them and their work by the motives behind that work which they had been performing. Who doubts about their souls taking the same path? Maybe the Bishop waited for his old friend, seeing in the cleaner light beyond the folding doors of death that he would swiftly follow. From chilhood they had lived blameless lives. Each by deserved promotion grew more resolute, at the same time grew more gentle and more compassionate to the weaknesses of their fellow men and the serenity that folded them around at last was a symbol of the everlasting peace that was soon to be theirs. There are two forms of death that are filled with splendor: One is that of the faithful soldier that for his country gives up his [Name] One of the eighteen persons nominated to be voted for at the election next Tuesday for councilman, is well and favorably known all over the city and has been repeatedly elected to the council, not only from the Ninth Ward, where he has resided for the past twenty odd years, but from the city at large, and each time received a most flattering vote, and there is no reason in thinking he will not be as successful next Tuesday as he has been in the past. No man that has ever sat in the council has shown more faithfulness for the welfare of the city than has he, and in proof of the assertion the rapid progress that the north end of the city made while he was the sole representative of that section is offered. Mr. Murphy is one of the substantial business men of the city and is, as he has always been, for the prosperity of the whole city. He is thoroughly conversant with the council work, and if elected under the new system, there is no doubt but that he will prove a tower of strength, and in the body be of valuable assistance to the new members that will be elected. Mr. Murphy took no part in the mayorality contest that resulted in the recall of Mayor Gill, and even those who seemed inclined to oppose him can not either directly or indirectly charge him as mixing in the fight. For the past year he has been president of the council and ruled with fairness and justice, so say the members thereof. life under a battle's canopy; the other, that of a faithful priest who through love for God and and love for his fellow men, devotes all the energies of his life to drawing man nearer to his God. Contemplating such a close of life, the things which most men grasp at seem small and mean by comparison. Describing the last days of his bishop, Victor Hugo pictures him as tending the flowers in his garden and says: "He had his few flowers on earth and all the stars above him." Of course all men could not be bishops and archbishops even if they aimed to be, for the world's work must be carried on, but all men might, in a little way, imitate the lives of those prelates; they could do all the good in their power; they could by such work, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE MAYFIELD HILL COLLEGE WILLIAM H.

The last great theme of the world is how to do away with wars. The most effective way will be to disarm the warring spirit in the souls of men. When the final shadows were closing around Archbishop Ryan, he raised his voice in an invocation for blessings upon his adopted country, for what it had done and was doing for mankind. He doubtless had for years been comparing it with all other lands, realized what its place is in the world, and what it must continue to be for the world if it can be held on its steady, upward, exalted way, which revealed the passionate love of liberty in the soul of the dying man. That should be a new incentive for all --- Americans to work to exalt their country, for upon it the hopes of the world are more centered than upon any other land. Its example has already crushed a thousand of the world's tyrannies, and its work is still in its infancy, if only the people can be led up to be worthy of such a country. The deaths of these two prelates ought to be an inspiration to Americans not only to live better as citizens but to impress them with the truth that their country needs their best services in every capacity of their lives. - Spokane Citizen. Senator Stone of Missouri, tells of a young physician in Kansas City who was sneered at by an attorney who was cross-examing him, the rude cross-examiner at last asking: FRIDAY, Mardh 3., 1911 "Are you entirely familiar with the symptoms of concussion of the brain?" "I am," was the reply. "Then," continued the rude one, "suppose that my my learned friend here, Senator Stone and myself, should bang our heads together, would that make us have concussion of the brain?" "It might," was the reply, give concussion of the brain to your learned friend." SEATTLE THEATER Wm. C. Demille is a name to conjure with. He has done much for the stage in America, but his "Strongheart" has thrown him into the rays of the public calcium in an almost miraculous way. This is the original of all college plays and is the one from which all others of like nature have radiated. The action of the play is laid at Columbia college where "Strongheart" by his innate manliness has earned the esteem of his fellow-students, as well as the confidence of all of his teachers, so much so, that he has been elected to the foot-ball team, and is considered the most valued member. Ho has been tested in every possible way, but in every instance his manhood has been found to be superior, dimming by comparison that of the best of his associates. His one mistake, if it may be called a mistake is his falling in love with the sister of one of his college chums. His patience and philosophy have been sorely tried, and he feels that the climax has been reached when a messenger arrives from his people with the intelligence that he has been made their chief by his fathes's death. AMUSEMENTS Starting next Sunday afternoon, Franz Morlar's play, "The Devil," will be the attraction at the Alhambra. Louis von Weithoff will assay the part of Dr. Kalmars. the devil, and Elizabeth Hale that of "Meta" the banker's wife whom the devil makes as his instrument to play the vagaries of modern society. There will be two new players in the cast at the Alhambra next week. "The Devil" is not a play that will appeal to the gallery; but for reading and thinking people it will prove as great a treat in Seattle as it did in the East, when two of the big managers of New York produced it simultaneously. The play being of the society order, the actresses will wear some stunning gowns. People's Savings Bank. Edward C. Neufelder, Prest. R. J. Reekle, Vice Presst. Jos. T.
