HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - - - Publisher USIE REVELS CAYTON - - - Associat THE WORLD'S FAVORITE SON. Much has been said and written about Theodore Roosevelt and still the subject has not been exhausted. Probably no American during his lifetime has ever become such an idol in the general estimation of the people as the ex-president. But the greatest good he has accomplished is to the great majority of the people unknown and unrecognized, and that is the improvement of the moral tone and sentiment of the people for which future historians will extend to him the deserved credit. History repeats itself and the the people unknown and unrecognized, and that is the improvement of the moral tone and sentiment of the people for which future historians will extend to him the deserved credit. History repeats itself and the influence of Theodore Roosevelt that instilled into the minds of the American people a higher conception of right and wrong has its concomitant in the history of the English government. It is not the power that a king, queen or president possesses that will cause the people governed to become better or worse, but there is that certain invisible, nameless influence that unknowingly tends to a change in the general sentiment of the people. Few governments have ever existed that were more corrupt than the English Kingdom during the reign of the four Georges and Charles First and Second. It extended to the ministry, the courts and parliament. Sunderland, the prime-minister under James the Second, received one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year by corrupt practices. During the reign of James the First, it was one of universal corruption and abuses and the four Georges gave the people a government that probably never was surpassed in bribery and dishonesty that infected all classes of the people from the lowest to the highest, and this was the condition of the people when the God-like Victoria became England's Queen and in less than fifty years, she purified the government, banished corruption and bribery, established honest courts and left the throne knowing that a purer, and better government was not in existence. It was the good, true heart of Queen Victoria that brought about this wonderful change in so short a time. You cannot disguise the fact that the moral tone and sentiment of the people of the United States has undergone a wonderful change during the past ten years and it was the rugged honesty of Theodore Roosevelt to which the American people should ever be grateful for this change for the better. He always stands for the right. He has been accused of over talking. That is a mistake. Of course, Roosevelt is human and makes mistakes. One glaring error he made was to appoint worn out politicians to the Federal Judiciary and then expect clean, honest courts. But he would not commit this error again. Viewing the career of the ex-president, we believe God could confer no greater blessing on the American people than to have him for president for two more terms. He could drive bribery and corruption out of the land, break up our Home of Lords and put the government where it belongs, a government for the black and white, rich and poor, weak and strong, alike. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1911 The protest from Texas against stationing Negro soldiers on the Mexican frontier and the rescinding of the order by the War department that had ordered them thither, and the question of the advisability of the U. S. government maintaining colored companies again bobs up serenely. If the Negro soldiers are objectionable to the white citizenship of the country then all of the colored companies should be mustered out of the service and no more enlisted either in times of peace or war. The four colored companies are not wanted in any fort in the whole country and the War department is always in hot water to either remove the colored troops from this or that fort or from protests concerning an order transferring them to some new post. If the Negro companies are so generally objectionable, we insist it is a public imposition to keep them in the service. Negroes are not unloyal to their country's call, but when the call comes from a few and opposed by the rank and file of the citizenship of the country, then they should be kept out of the service. To be a soldier is not an occupation that a worthy citizen would want his son to follow, and such citizen should most strenuously object to him doing so when the rank and file of the country is bitterly opposed to him doing so on account of his religion, color or condition. Congress should repeal the act creating four colored companies and thereby settle this question of what to do with the colored soldier for all time to come. If only white men are wanted to wear Uncle Sam's uniform, then let only white wear it, and let the few black men who now are wearing it seek other employment. The conviction of Hillman for wild-catting in the real estate business ought to cause an hundred and one others who have been doing a no less questionable business, to set up and take notice, lest the government proceed against them in a like manner. There are real estate sharks galavanting about the country purporting to be selling orchard tracts of irrigated lands in Eastern Washington, the most of which would not grow sea weeds if the Mississippi river was turned onto it, but even when the land is all right there are no prospects of it being watered within the next ten years, which amounts to about the same as if it were a stone quarry instead of a prospective orchard tract. Real estate men should be compelled to deal squarely with the public the same as the grocer, the baker and the dairyman or be punished by both the state and the United States courts. Recently a woman purchased two town lots in an alleged thriving new town in Eastern Washington, for which she paid $500, and when she went over to inspect her property, it was evident to her and others that $5 would have been an enormous outlay for them. She simply exclaimed, "stung again," and pocketed her experience. The agent that sold those lots ought to be sent to the penitentiary, and sooner or later he will get there. It is well just now to beware of real estate speilers with golden opportunities (?) to dispose of for a song. We believe that Mrs. Iva May Henry has done right in kidnapping her children to prevent them from being taken from her, the unsavory light she was placed in by the late divorce mill, to the contrary notwithstanding. There is no love for a child like that of a mother and few women there are, however vicious they themselves may be, but that desire to see their children become leading lights of the land, and therefore no court, in our opinion, should have the right to tear children from a mother's arms. Henry has been divorced from his wife, and judging from what he and others said about her on the witness stand, he has rid himself of an unworthy spouse, but thus far and no farther, and when he seeks to rob his former wife of her children he is obstructing nature's onward march, and if the courts will not prevent him from doing that then the woman should resolve herself into judge and jury and herself remove the obstruction. Sooner or later Henry will presumably, in case he gets them, give the children over to the keeping of another wife, and, may, perhaps, she might prove no more faithful to him than the first, and if so in what better hands would the children be? If he and his attorneys persist in trying to break his former wife's heart by robbing her of her children the public will be convinced that Mrs. Henry told the truth when on the witness stand in the divorce trial as to his natural cruelty. VOLUME XVII. NUMBER 45 Owners of down store properties might avoid an impending financial catastrophe in business circles by cutting the rents of their stores in twain. It is utterly impossible for the merchants to pay the rents that they are now paying and they will have to get them for half of it or go out of business, and "for rent" signs will occupy the stores where now are full stocks of goods. There is no need moralizing over the cause of the present hard times, for they are actually here and it's up to each and every one to meet it like men and equally share the burden. Judge Hanford has practically ruled the government out in the Alaska coal land cases and the special attorney has taken the case direct to the United States Supreme Court. In commenting upon the local outcome of the case the P.-I. speaks very highly of the legal wisdom displayed by the judge in his rulings on the motions. Something like two months ago Judge Hanford, in the eyes of the editor of the P.-I., was sorely affected with anile and caduke, but it makes a world of difference with the learned editor of the P.-I. as to the judge's mental condition when his friends get the benefit of Hanford's judicial opinion. It is currently reported that the grand jury is trying to indict S. Foster Kelly, which we hope is a mistake, for to indict him and bring him back to stand trial on a charge that both he and Mrs. Henry would deny and there would be but one witness to stand up for the charge, would be throwing good money away for nothing. In S. Foster Kelly Seattle can now boast of a good riddance of bad rubbish. Mrs. Iva May Henry is now charged with having kidnapped her own children and all California is hunting for her and the children. For trying to interfere with her children it is to be regretted that Mrs. Henry does not kidnap Henry and his whole bunch of boosters. The trusts of the United States are working overtime to prevent Congress from passing the Canadian reciprocity act, but the consumers know Mr. Trust, though he has hayseeds in his hair, and will not be deceived by him. Teddy may have been to Africa, and likewise to the state convention of New York, but he still looks like the same old Teddy and is just as courteous and glad to see the crowds as when he was looking for votes. The crowds in Seattle that greeted him was almost a record breaker. It may have cost Charley Shomo quite a snug sum of money to go to the Hot Springs in Arkansas, but John W. Roberts is going to treat him to a free ride and fare to come back. That fellow Roberts seems to be awfully accommodating here of late. Jack Johnson's refusal to pay for the bust, which has been made of himself, places him again in the defendants' row of the courts of New York. Jack seems to take the courts as a means of publicity, going so far as to get himself in jail for twenty-five days. If it were not vulgar, we would pronounce him a crazy "coon." If all the people should take to the fields and woods in search of fairies, as has been suggested, they might find the fairies, but we fear they would find no hog and hominy at home for breakfast for themselves and perhaps the fairies when they returned. Reciprocity with Canada on the part of the United States threatens to make of Winnipeg a second Chicago. If there are any prospects in the world for such a making then Chicago will fight reciprocity to the bitter end. Mr. Recall seems to be a most patent factor in the politics of the state just now. The office holder who does not reckon with Mr. Recall before going into office will be counting without his host. Of course, have women patrolmen if the women want the job but insist on them doing their duty just the same as a slave to nominate an officer to enquire as the men. Play no favorites in the game. [Name not provided] 2 PERSONS TALKED ABOUT. STATE REPRESENTATIVE HUGH C. TODD of Whitman county has announced his intention of making a fight for the Democratic nomination for governor, which ought not to be a very hard fight, as no sane man would make very much effort to get so empty an honor as that unless such man had in view Democratic success in the Nation and hoped to use such a nomination to his advantage in getting a federal appointment. Todd in the governor's chair would rattle round like a mustard seed in a tin box. As representative he displayed some slight signs of ability, but so very slight that it would have required one of a very keen sense of ability to discover it. ANGUS W. YOUNG for many years a familiar figure in the business world of Seattle and in early days a striking figure in the political affairs of the city and county, dropped dead last Sunday evening while out walking. When the order of A. P. A. was at the height of its glory in Seattle Mr. Young was one of its most active as well as energetic members. He was endorsed by the organization for mayor of the city and came within one of getting the nomination. He was always against the gang and was, what latter day politiicians are pleased to term a progressive. The reformers with whom he trained were beaten as Roosevelt said, to a frazzle, which was like gall, and wormwood to Young, and from that time on he was always rather at outs with the political inns. There was a time when it looked as if, for a man to be governor of the state of Washington, he would have to hob nob with Angus W. Young, but the power of the A. P. A. organization was early broken and with it not a factor he was no longer looked upon as a potent power in the political arena of the state. Among those who associated with him were John Bushnell, John Hull, Dr. Samuel Burdett, Rev. Carnes, now in England, George N. Gilson, deceased, and many others of equal influence and importance. Within the organization a sub-organization was formed known as the Battling Ram, which looked after the political end of the order and as long as it lasted it did but things fore and aft. Andrew Burleigh very effectively used this organization in his campaigns to control the state convention of 1896 held in Everett and the aforesaid leaders or a majority of them directed the workings of that memorable meeting of the state Republicans. STATE SENATOR ROSENHAUPT of Spokane is out advocating the calling of an extra session by Gov. Hay. Some ten days or more before the session closed Senator Rosenhaupt left the legislature to attend to private business. Had he have remained there he might not now think it necessary for an extra session. It is a fact that nearly half of the allotted time for the legislature to remain in session has always been taken up in getting ready to get down to business and then half of the remainder is taken up in squabbling over questions of minor importance to the tax payers. Once on a time those sessions at which a United States senator was to be elected the most of the time was spent in the election of the senator and the appropriation bill, but since the senatorial election has been practically taken away from the legislature the session is devoted to scrapping over appropriations and the liquor question in some form or another. Instead of an extra session, if by some means the state could cut out the next regular session and then meet for thirty days every four years thereafter the tax payers would be greatly relieved. CLARENCE W. IDE has been named by Judge Hanford as receiver for the Vulcan Iron Works, one of the most extensive concerns of its kind in the Northwest. Under Horace P. Strickland this plant was a phenominal success for many years, but the expense of moving, building and the financial stringency of the times caused things to start wrong and once they got to going in the wrong direction it seemed impossible to reverse them. Seattle has few if any as energetic or more praiseworthy young business men as H. P. Strickland and it is truly hoped that the affairs of the plant will soon be straightened out and that he will again come into possession of his own. Mr. Ide is well and favorably known in the community and if anything can be done to straighten out the tangled web he will do it. ROBERT LAIRD McCORMICK, who died in Tacoma a few weeks ago, left an estate, which has been valued at $1,487,908. Mr. McCormick started out in life a poor boy and at the time of his death he had accumulated the above estate, which is a most conservative estimate. In actual fact the owners of the estate would not take twice that amount in cash for it. KING SOLOMON, whose imposing, but mahogany presence some years ago made all Seattle set up and take notice as he swept up and down her streets, but who suddenly disappeared, has as suddenly returned and is as imposing as of yore. King Solomon of today is as noted THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN for his wisdom as was King Soloman of old, and wherever he goes the suckers always flock to him seeking the advantage of his wonderful wisdom. Years ago when he lived in Seattle he possessed a head of wooly hair, in which each hair stood straight out from his head at least a half a foot long, but on his return he presents an entirely different appearance as to hair for that inky hair has become long flowing black curls that would make a Creek Indian look jealous for months to come. Despite the swartze complexion of the King he declares that under no circumstances is he a Negro, but a lineal descendent of King Solomon of old and totally devoid of Negro blood, which to say the least is a great relief to the American Negro. Plainly speaking from the general appearance it would seem that this man is an ass and we would not hesitate to so pronounce him if he did not take in thousands of dollars from some of the most learned men and women in this country. B. F. Bush who is mentioned in connection with the presidency of the Missouri Pacific is well known in Seattle and was so long identified with the west, that though born in the east he is practically a Western man. If elected to the position he will never lose an opportunity to do Seattle and the Northwest a good turn. He is one of the most matter of fact business men that you would meet between the Pacific and the Atlantic and his success in railroad circles is largely due to his matter of factness. He was for twelve years a resident of Seattle and persons of ten years residence in the city remember him quite well. Fred C. Harper, collector of customs at Pt. Townsend, whose nomination failed of confirmation before the senate of the sixty-first congress, has been given a recess appointment by President Taft and thereby shattering the hopes of Tom Page, the notorious police court lawyer, brother-in-law to Senator Miles Poindexter, who hoped to build up a political machine with Page as the head push. Henry S. Frye, who is charged with interfering with an officer who had arrested a man charged with crime, has been on trial the greater part of the week and may, by the time this paper reaches you, either be acquitted or convicted. He is an attorney-at-law, is a member of the law firm of Gill, Hoyt & Frye. His attorneys have put up a hot fight, but have lost on almost every point. W. W. Felger, after a few weeks' stay in California, accompanied by his family, has returned to Seattle and taken up his practice. He is one of the prominent attorneys of the Northwest. Richard Achiles Ballinger, former secretary of the interior of the U. S. government, has decided to take up the immediate practice of his profession and is preparing to open offices in the Alaska block. John A. Whalley, state senator from the thirty-sixth district, does not think there will be any extra session of the legislature, on the grounds that there is no pressing [Name not provided] JAMES W. MAXWELL need for it. The only persons that are censuring the legislature for not making appropriations for state roads are the automobile fiends and it seems to me that there has been enough special legislation for the few at the expense of the many, to go to the extra expense of an extra session. There is no real excuse for an extra session of the legislature and in my opinion Gov. Hay will not call it. Frank P. Goss, member of the house of representatives of the twelfth legislature from the forty-fifth representative district, has bought the Saturday Review from Gene Lorton and is making preparations to give the public a first-class weekly publication. William H. Whittelsey, for many years prominent in the business and political affairs of Seattle, but who nine years ago went to Alaska, where he has resided every since, is making his first visit to his old haunts and is enjoying the changes Seattle has undergone since he left it. He is interested in mines in Alaska and is said to be well on the road to Gold Station. Dr. Rufus Smith, one of Seattle's extensive real estate owners, who has been touring Europe for the past nine months, returned to Seattle last Tuesday. "I am glad to get home, but I did hear some hard things said about Seattle while away. The morning after the recall election one of the papers in Paris had a whole column about Seattle and her turbulent condition. I am glad the town is cleaned up, but in doing so she has gotten an awfully tough name in other parts of the world. We need a revival of the Seattle Spirit and all work together for the good of Seattle, and unless something of the kind is brought forward the old town will continue a dead one." Holding elections in Tacoma is becoming as common as holding country dances when fiddlers are plentiful. Unless Tacoma watches herself she will soon be in the position of too much election and then she will be a deserted town. If the grand jury is on the right track, Charley Shomo will have to show mo' legal sagacity than he has in the past to get out of the trouble he is now in. AMUSEMENT It is some time since Seattle has had this famous old play, and the announcement that it would be the bill at the Alhambra Theatre all next week, commencing Sunday afternoon, has already caused numerous inquiries for setas. Victory Bateman, an actress well known for her ability as an emotional actress, will be Lady Isabelle; Bessie Ober, another leading woman of ability, will be Barbara Hare, and Seattle's prime favorite, Eva Earl French, will play Miss Corney, a part she has played a thousand times. The cast throughout will be of exceptional strength, and "East Lynn" is practically sure to do a big week's business, because it appeals to women more than any other play. President of the Commercial Club, who had charge of the Roosevelt entertainment while that distinguished personage was in Seattle, has been voted a gigantic success and has therefore further popularized himself among the members of the club. Mr. Maxwell is one of Seattle's leading business men, who for a number of years was connected with the Seattle National bank, but who gave up the position January 1st. It is rumored that he has been successful in organizing a rival banking institution in the city and will at an early date throw open its doors for business. He is also a member of the charter revision committee of Seattle and it it is said he is doing valiant work for the city. He was a member of the sixth legislature from Chehalis county and served for two terms as mayor of Aberdeen, at that time his home. Already he is being favorably mentioned for the nomination of mayor of Seattle and should he make an active fight for the same he would come pretty close to landing the plum, but this, it is surmised, he will not do at least for the present. Perhaps Senator Bailey intended his resignation as a gentle hint to Senator Lorimer. — New Orleans Times-Democrat. There is Carter H. Harrison, III, so the Democratic voters of Chicago may easily know what to expect. — Chicago Record Herald. is FRIDAY, April 7, 1911 THE LAW AND THE LAWYERS. Frank B. Wiestling, who was tried one day last week for unprofessional conduct, was found guilty by Judge Main and permantly disbarred from practicing his legal grofession before the courts of this state. That Mr. Wiestling did things while a candidate for prosecuting attorney that were not right and proper is not denied, but to take away from him the right to make bread and butter for his wife and three children under the far fetched “‘moral turpetude” charge does not seem to us quite right. Then again let him that is without the moral turpetude sin cast the first stone. It is very rema k- able that the men who represent clients, who make no bones of forming combines and trusts ir restraint of trade, which is strictly forbidden by the general govern- ment, should take the lead in prosecuting men who are active in getting damages cases against their trust clients. The attorney who draws the papers and other- wise aids and abetts men to form trusts and combines to not only rob the consumers of the necessities of life, but in a hundred and one different ways rob the state and goverment is just as guilty as the principles and under the raoral turpetude act should be disbarred. While Wiestling may be techincally guilty of all he was charged he is not a hundreth part as guilty as many who proclaim to be holier than thou. CLARENCE DAYTON HILLMAN has been given a dose that wil! surely hold him fora while. He was sentenced last Saturday morning and while his sentence was exceedingly light, two years and six months and $5,000 fine, yet the district attorney demanded a bail of $200,000 for his release while his attorney was perfect- ing an appeal to a higher court. There is hardly any doubt but, that Hillman was guilty of all he was charg- ed and perhaps more, but was it necessary to place his pail at an excessive figure and evidently for no greater reason than to put himin jail and prevent him from looking after his affairs? It looks as if somebody, somewhere and for some reason had gotten an opportu- nity to play even for some actual or fancied grievance and was doing it to a fare you well. The bond Hillman was required to give was greater than the bond of any ‘one ever before charged or convicted of crime in Seattle, and yet the man had only been sentenced to a couple of years in prison. It is the duty of courts, from our view point, to show evil doers the error of their ways and perhaps reform them and not to get them in their clutches and then lay on McDuff. A PIONEER JUDGE’S MEMORY. In commenting on the death of Judge J. R. Lewisa Seattle pioneer Editor Edward Clayson of the Patriarch of Seattle, who is likewise a Puget Sound pioneer pays the following historic tribute to Judge Lewis’ memory: J. R. Lewis the terror of toughs on Puget Sound some 36 years ago, passed away last week in California. The editor of The Patriarch was a member of the grand jury in Seattle at the ‘‘first term of court heldin this city by J. R. Lewis.” He was the right man in the right place at that peroid. What Judge Sir Mathew Bigbee was to Victoria at that peroid, J. R Lewis was to Seatile. The Third Judicial District at that time comprised the counties of Kiag, Snohomish and Kitsap, and the court sat one term every six months in Seattle. George McConnaha was prosecuting attorney of the Third Judicial District at that time and the three sheriffs were Wyckoff of King, Williams of Kitsap and Stretch of Snohomish. This was the first term of court held in Washington Terrivory that the court demanded “‘all mar- ried men as members of the grand jury.’’ Some bachelors had been summoned, as formerly. They were given two or three days, pay and their mileage and were dismissed, whilst the sheriffs had to hustle for ‘‘married men’’ to put in their places. This was one of the most remarkable terms of court eyer held in the history of Seattle. The grand jury was in session nearly three weeks, and about a fourth of the business men were indicted good and bad alike. It was J. R. Lewis, snported by Beriah Brown of the Puget Sound Dispatch, that drove John Pennell, the squaw dance house man, and his following, out of busi- ness. The very large number of indic.ments at this term of court was due to the fact of ‘‘lottery games’’ being conducted. These games were legalized by an ‘‘act of the Territorial Legislature,”” but they were in violation of the ‘‘organic act of the Territory,’’ hence the court’s instructions to indict all the lottery operators. As fast. as they were arrested they were bailed out and none were convicted. But the lotteries were suppressed. The judge is dead, the prosecuting attorney is dead, the three sheriffs are dead, fourteen of the sixteen grand jurymen are dead. The only two still in exis- tence are Edward Clayson, Sr., of Seattle, and E. C. Furgeson of Snohomish. Sick tum tum charco kopa nika. Konaway kopet tenas Alki. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Prosecuting Attorney John F. Murphy’s. Resourcefulness is certainly to be commended in the ease of The State of Washington against Axel Nist and John Ford, alias Ryan. The charge is first degree murder, and Policeman Judson P. Davis was the victim. 'The life of the defendant, John Ford, alias Ryan, was also sacrificed at the time of the shooting. The prose- cuting attorney filed an information direct in the Su- perior Court charging Nist and the dead bandit with the crime, and he explains this unusual procedure upon the theory that, it was necessary to make the dead man a defendant to ‘“‘widen the scope of the testimony.’’ Nist was recently granted a separate trial by Judge Main of the criminal department. He objected to being tried jointly with the dead man, It has heretofore been sup- posed that death ended a man’s earthly troubles. The memory of man runneth not to the contrary. This, how- ever, according to the ideas of the prosecuting attorney, is a mistake. As murder is a crime that is never barred by the statute of limitations, this new procedure will open up a field full of strange possibilities. A number of homi- cides, and especially of women, have occurred in this coun- ty in cases where the murderer, after committing the crime, escaped punishment by the suicide route. These dead women killers, according to Mr. Murphy’s new pro- cedure, can now be brought to justice. Speaking of trying a dead man on the part of the prosecuting attorney of King County reminds the writer of a justice of the peace in North Yakima that held an inquest over the remains of a man that had been found dead, probably suicide. When the body was searched it was discovered that a revolver and seventy-five dollars in eash were found thereon, whereupon the presiding judge ordered the body arrested and tried for having in life carried concealed weapons contrary to law. It was convicted and fined $75.00, which promptly disposed of the query, What will be done with the money. Here is a rather funny story, which comes out of the will of a man that had shuffled off this mortal coil. Be- ing cognizant of the fact that he was going to die at an early date, and likewise being cognizant of the fact that, his wife would after his death bear fruits of their matri- monial union, he made his will as follows: If the off- spring, which my wife will soon bring forth, is a boy, then said boy is to have two-thirds of my estate, and the mother the other third, but if it is a girl, then the mother is to have two-thirds of the estate and the girl the one- third. He in the course of time died and in due course of time the mother was confined. Now comes the mixup in the will, for the mother gave birth to a boy and a girl and under the terms of the will who could decide how to divide it? The Seattle Republican will publish your legal no- tices and will not only do your work right, but at as reasonable rate as it can be done. Phone Main 305. Of- fice, 427 Epler Block. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS. President Taft’s extra session of Congress 1s now grinding away and Champ Clark, the Missouri Democrat of more or less cheap notoriety, is speaker of the house of representatives of Congress, the first Democrat to hold the place for many years, the last being John G. Carlise of Kentucky. The Republicans have elected James R. Mann minority leader and the battle has begun. While President Taft called the extra session because the Demo- crats declared they would pass the Canadian reciprocity Dill, yet he will not stand for the opening up of the tariff and if a'tariff is passed he will veto it. Socialism is gaining headway all over the country and in those places it put in a municipal ticket in the field it has shown a great deal of strength. In the city election in Butte last Monday the Socialist party carried the city. An effort will be made to Milwaukeeize Butte. The Republicans carried the state of Michigan in the recent state election while the ‘‘drys’’ and “‘wets’’ played hide and-go seek in the various counties by dry counties going wet and wet counties going dry, all of which shows to what extent the question of the use of intoxicating liquors is being agitated. Cooler heads will have to devise ways and means to adjust this question without the aid of either of the extremists. It remained for Hunnwell, Kansas, to be the first municipality to elect a woman mayor thereof, Mrs. 0. A. Akers having been elected last Tuesday. She promptly named a woman chief of the police. Throughout the states of Colorado and Kansas the liquor question was the principal issue in the late mu- nicipal campaigns and the honors between the drys and the wets seem to have been equally divided. Carter Harrison, the Democratic nominee for mayor of Chicago, was overwhelmingly elected last Tuesday, be- ing the fifth time he has been elected. If President Taft favored the Republican nominee for mayor of Chicago 3 then the people of Chicago are not very greatly influenced by the wishes of the president. Demoerat though he is, it is said that Harrison got fully 90 per cent of the 15,000 colored votes of the city. A. V. Fawcett, mayor of Tacoma, was not recalled at last Tuesday’s election, though he was badly beaten in the race by Candidate Seymour. The charter of Tacoma makes it obligatory for the mayor-eleet to receive a ma- jority of the votes east. If now the Tacoma people desire to recall the mayor they will have to hold another election at a cost of $3,000. The next election will be pulled off in two weeks from last Tuesday’s. The sixty-second Congress having convened in extra session the country will now be favored with a lot of political trimming in the shape of one of the great par- ties trying to trap the other into doing something, for which the other can arraign it before the voters next year. The Congresses of the United States are nothing short of political games played by the party leaders for selfish purposes and never are operated in the interest of the country and the citizens thereof. Seattle, in order to attract outside attention, is to have a Golden Potlatch early in July, which is promised to be an annual festivity. The Golden Potlatch idea is all right, but Seattle needs a get-together idea on the part of the leading business men of the city and reduce rents and other commodities so that the poor of the city will not have to jump sideways for enough money to go home on after working all day for the other fellow. William Jennings Bryan is said to be the power be- hind the throne of Champ Clark, and if true a stormy time will be the result, About the household of the Democratic party Mr. Special Privilege is said to be persona non grata, and yet he is often found hiding under the bed waiting for an opportunity. Seattle is said to have a bad name in other parts of the world and why shouldn’t she since the most of the bad people came to Seattle under the Gill administration.
