Thomson, Seattle's city engineer, who has been accused of high crimes, and misdemeanor, has courted the widest range of investigation by the various commercial bodies and likewise by the proper officials of the city, county and state, and he is to be accommodated. Now, if any one has any tangible evidence of his culpability let such person or persons This is the picture of Reginald H. Thomson, City Engineer of Seattle, for the past twenty years, who is now facing ugly charges preferred against him by Albert J. Goddard, a member of the City Council and also for the past twenty odd years a prominent business man of Seattle. Mr. Thomson was city engineer of Seattle prior to the J. T. Ronald administration as mayor of Seattle, but was removed from office by the notorious "kid committee" that dominated the Democratic politics of the city at that time and was succeeded by Engineer Warner, who held the place about six months, when he was forcibly ejected from the office by Mayor Ronald and Mr. Thomson re-instated. That was early in 1894, since which time he has continuously held the office and under whose administration the city has expended a billion dollars in local im- --- present that evidence to the inquisitors and let no one try in any way to hinder or hobble the coming of that evidence. Ugly charges about the conduct of the city engineer's office have been made from time to time, and now that Mr. Thomson has taken the initiative and himself opened the doors for a complete inspection of his official acts the public and especially the taxpaying public insists that those who ```markdown ``` SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUG. 18, 1911. have from time to time made the damaging allegations against him and his subordinates to come forward and divulge such facts as they have in their possession. While The Seattle Republican has been more or less friendly to the city engineer, yet if he is guilty of any official misconduct it will be just as unfriendly to him as it has been friendly, and more so, because he will have [Name not visible in the image] betrayed its confidence. Mr. Grafter in the United States bobs up so often and in so many places that it is hard to say where he will next appear, and perhaps after all Reginald H. Thomson has grafted himself and his accomplices immensely rich and like former South and Central American presidents, will retire from office and seek some foreign land in which to spend the balance of his life in ease and luxury.

Some one has well said, "where there is so much smoke there is bound to be some fire," and if there be any fire it ought to be an easy matter for the brilliant Alden Joseph Blethen, editor-in-chief of the Seattle Daily Times, to uncover the smouldering coals provements. From time to time rumors have floated about the city that the office of the city engineer was tainted with graft, but this is the first time it has ever been put squarely up to him. As a civil engineer he has a fame that is world wide, and it is a fact that thousands of letters come to him from time to time asking for advice on municipal construction. By the most learned men he is an accepted authority on municipal engineering. He is a man of pronounced views and ideas and has thereby made for himself bitter enemies among his fellow men. Should the present charges be sufficiently substantiated to in any way reflect upon his official career he would leave the office at once and set himself up as a consulting engineer, out of which he, perhaps, would realize more cash than he does from the salary he is paid by the city of Seattle. --- from whence great volumes of smoke have constantly poured forth. But with no intention of criticising any one, who has made accusations against Mr. Thomson, we desire to see an investigation on the square and in the open, free from political quibblings or legal technicalities—a commonsense business-like investigation that will give Mr. Thomson either a clean official record or drive him from the office he has so long filled, in utter disgrace. --- COMMENT NEGRO SOCIAL EQUALITY. The Associate Press dispatches last Wednesday reported Dr. William J. Thomp- kins, an eminent Negro physician of Kan- sas City, Mo., in a public speech as saying: “The black man abhors the mere expres- sion of social equality as the white man sees it. He asks no special favors, but he does ask for a square deal to make oppor- tunities to be men.” Thompson has voiced the sentiment of every person in the United States who is classed as a Negro. There is no distributer of social equality in the United States and no man has the right to demand social recognition of another. Two men may be business partners and yet so- cially may not be even on speaking ac- quantaince. When, however, the black men are given a square deal by the white man his fellowman, whether white, black, brown, red or yellow, they will socially regulate themselves. Congenial spirits will fra- ternize and no barriers can prevent them. Custom in this country has been and is still able to embarrass the white man that finds a boon com- panion in a black man, however congenial he may be, but that custom fortification will sooner or later fall and men, irrespec- tive of their complexion, will be recognized for their merit and worth by those men, who are natural born leaders of men. The white man who seeks to force himself into the society of those who do not want him is as much a’persona non grata as_ the black man. Let the intelligent white man recognize merit and worth in the black man and he will take care of himself socially and that, too, without any assistance from the white man. THE TIMES’ ANNIVERSARY. In celebrating its fifteenth anniversary under Col. Alden Joseph Blethen, the Times expended perhaps a round thousand dollars, thus demonstrating that, though the Times, which was a mere shadow when it became the property of the Blethens, is now a gold mine. It is declared by those who ought to know that the Times is worth $750,000, and that its earnings has enabled its pres- ent owners to acquire real estate that is worth a round million dollars. It does not seem possible for a newspaper to make such rich returns in so short a time, but there is no doubt of it having done so, for the Blethens came to Seattle practically penni- less. The question is, could such be ac- complished by doing business on the square and in the open? and the answer is, No. Tt is the consensus of opinion of every one that has observed the Times under its pres- ent management, that its editorial bludgeon has been a hundred times more responsible for its financial success than its straight- forward business methods. For years ugly things have been said about the strong arm methods of the Times, which finally cul- minated in its owners being indicted by the grand jury, which now hangs over their heads, and it is hinted that this. recent demonstration was for the purpose of cre- ating sentiment for the Blethens on the eve of their trial. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN BRAINARD OUITS P.-L Erastus Brainard has tendered his resig- nation as editor-in-chief of the Post-Intel- ligencer and his successor, a Mr. Scott Bone, of Washington, D. C., selected. Be it said to the credit of Mr. Brainard that he is one of the ablest editorial writers in the West. and so far as the state of Washington is concerned, is almost without a peer on per- sons and things, so to that extent the P.-I. is the loser. Mr. Brainard, however, was either bor with a chronic grouch or he has acquired it, and like Sam Weston, a former business manager of the ‘P.-L, it’s a torture to him to do a fellow-being a kindly act. If there is a drop of reciprocal blood in his body no one seems to have ever discovered it.. He always does the unexpected and the local public need not be surprised if, despite the nasty editorial fight he has been involved with Col. Blethen for the past seven years, if he does not accept a posi- tion on the Times. His resignation is a splendid thing for the Post-Intelligencer, a glorious thing for Seattle and King Coun- ty, and the best thing that could have hap- pened for the Hon. John L. Wilson. Re- gardless of the causes that brought about Editor Brainard’s resignation we repeat, it is good for all concerned that he is no longer officially connected with the-leading paper of the Northwest. IN THE COUNTY COURT. Hon. H. A. P. Myers, the newly appoint- ed judge of King County to fill out the term of the late lamented R. W. Prigmore, will take his place on the bench next Satur- day. He has disposed of his law business and contrary to other reports, he goes on the bench with no handicap and with no idea of only serving the time for which he has been appointed, and then voluntarily retire. “When I decided to accept the ap- pointment I also decided to dispose of my law business whether I remained on the bench any longer or not. If the position appeals to me after having been on the bench, then I will seek a nomination and election; if not, I will perhaps return to the practice of law.” It is predicted by those who have had legal transactions with Mr. Myer that he will develop into a most ex- cellent judicial, he being a man of a well adapted legal mind. Speaking about whether or not Judge Myer would be a candidate next year re- minds the writer that the entire King Coun- ty bench will retire after the next election and it is hinted that there will be hundred now on the bench. It is reported that and one candidates for the places of those Judges Boyd J. Tallman, R. B. Albertson, Wilson R. Gay and Mitchell Gilliam will not seek re-nomination and election. How- ever, there is nothing definite as to the state- ment as neither of the aforesaid judges have publicly expressed themselves on the sub- ject. Some time ago Judge Gay threatened to resign, but he subsequently changed his mind and his friends say that in all human probability he will be a candidate to suc- ceed himself. The vacation season for the judges is rapidly drawing to a close and in two weeks more the wheels of equity and justice will Poss ee Aish Sea ie SE Se SPS Ie ae at hd FRIDAY, Aug. 18, 1911 by the time court convenes wil be badly congested and a wild scramble on the part of the attorneys to get their cases set for as early date as possible will be indulged in. Its simply wonderful the number of differences between persons that find their way into the courts for adjudication. It is said that there are 1400 lawyers in Seattle and the immediate vicinity, all of whom make a living by representing clients in the courts. In other words something like 25 per cent of the earnings of the country is claimed by those who represent clients in the various courts. James K. Vardeman, the U. S. senator- elect from Mississippi, is a political freak, who has climbed into prominence by ding- ing after the Negro of that state, who went down and out in 1876, when the old radical party was overthrown. Since that time there has never been any excuse for the question of “nigger dominancy” playing part in any campaign, and yet that imbecil- ic old fossil has used it in all of his cam- paigns and even in the editing of his week- ly publication, and succeeded in riding into office and likewise into a handsome bank account on it. In his late campaign he posed as the Great White Chief and at a barbecue at Meredian, which closed his campaign, and at which something like 10,- 000 whites were present, he appeared on the grounds dressed in spotless white, in a pure white chariot, which was drawn by seven- ty-five white oxen and each was ridden by a white man. Proceeding this picturesque pageant of plutocratic prejudice were hun- dreds of white girls dressed in white, shout- ing the Great White Chief approaches. The speech this old demagogue delivered at that time did not touch the local or national questions, but dealt absolutely with fear ot nigger dominancy. Robert Evans, the slayer of Judge R. W. Prigmore, has not been taken into custody by the sheriff of Skagitt county and the question arises, why should he be favored any more so than similar offenders of the law against a hunter shooting at a noise to find he has killed a human being. Evans has broken the law and deserves the same kind of punishment for it as others. John L. Wilson did not knock Gov. Hay in his Aberdeen speech before the State Press Association, and those editors who persist in saying he did are doing so for an opportunity of themselves knocking the governor over Senator Wilson's shoulders. Tt, however, is a fact that Senator Wilson criticised the Republicans for electing men to office, who did not have back bone enough to stand up for the party after they had been elected. Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the inte- rior, who was a Seattle visitor one day the past week, is now well on the way to Alas- ka to look over the disputed coal fields. While in the city Mr. Fisher was the guest at a banquet given by those advocating the opening of the coal lands to the Guggen- heimers and rival syndicates, and the com- mon people knowing that, they entertain little hope of Mr. Fisher standing by the people in the controversy. MAN OR THINGS----WHICH [Picture of a man in a suit, seated in a chair, with his hands resting on his knees.] FRIDAY, Aug. 18, 1911 MAN OR Through the iniquitous Tariff Bill, passed several years ago, we have permitted some men to exact, through the necessities of life which we are obliged to have, a tribute for the few favored capitalists "who toil not, neither do they spin." This Tariff Bill is in the interest of property rights, as against human rights. The Tariff was introduced into this country, and laid upon foreign commodities, upon the theory of protecting home infant industries. The theory was a good one, and the practice right in establishing home industries, but through many years, these once infant industries, now giant monopolies, have demanded, and have received protection, and have used their un- --- THOS. P. REVELLE. Thomas P. Revelle is well and, we believe we would not be far out of the way if we added, favorable known in Seattle where he has lived for the past ten years or more. He hails from the state of Maryland, where Republicans are moulded out of the red hot stuff scattered broadcast by the fire eating Democrats. His father before him was a Republican for the protection of human rights from cruel slavers, and Thomas has been a Republican for the protection of human rights in the industrial circles of the United States as against the directors of European pauper labor. For a few years after coming to Seattle he was pastor of the Methodist Protestant church of this city, but took up the study of law and after taking the curriculum at the state university was admit- due advantage, thus gained, to throttle competition. Our political history is but the repetition of the world's conflict, the conflict between property rights and human rights. The conflict has brought into existence different organizations and politica parties, none more notable than the Republican party, which was organized to combat property rights in behalf of human rights. The need of a champion of human rights was never greater than now. Our political history is filled with broken promises, betrayed trusts, and party perfidy, on the part of both Democratic and Republican parties. Our laws have been too generally passed in the interests of property rights, rather than human rights, and the government seems --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THINGS (By Thomas P. Revelle.) to be unduly concerned about the interests of the trusts and the commodities they control and desire to control. For years an effort has been made to fasten upon this country, through ship subsidy, a tax, for the benefit of the ship trusts. There seems to be a determination on the part of the people's servants to give the values of Alaska into the hands of favored interests. Heaven and earth are being moved in the efforts, on the part of many United States senators, to keep in the Senate, one Bill Lorimer, a pliant tool to special interests, who to gain his seat was a party to the grossest of corruption. And as a capping climax, we have had a recent decision from [Name not visible in the image] the highest courts of the land, in which they have written their desires, or at least their idea of what the law should be, into the laws of our country, and by such writings have made it possible for every trust to continue in its nefarious business, for the purpose of ill gotten gain. I yield to no man in my party loyalty, but no band of pirates, who having seized the ship when the people were off guard, can force me to service under the cry of the party of Lincoln and our fathers, or the party of Jefferson and our fathers. I too well know, that were men like Lincoln and Jefferson, and our fathers, to return to the earth and realized the conditions, and had they the power they would scourge these self-constituted leaders and drive them from ```markdown ``` the Hall of Justice. I declare unto you, that greater than any party, than all law, than any government, than all institutions, is man. How much better is man than the things of men. No party, no law, no institution, no government, that does not enure to the benefit of man, has any place in society. The welfare of the people is the supreme law. When our servants become willing to recognize that, they will find very little difficulty in making and interpreting and executing laws. Under such a guiding principle there would be very little quibbling about Tariff for protection, or for revenue. A Tariff measure would be enacted, that would provide even ted to practice and for the past seven years has followed his profession. He was twice elected a member of the city council of Seattle. He was a candidate for the Republican nomination for representative to Congress last year on the progressive, but was defeated by a narrow margin, which his friends declare was due to crooked work at the polls in Snohomish county. He is now plain Tom Revelle, with no affixes or prefixes and is taking a cold-blooded impartial view of the present tariff embroglio. "I am a candidate for no office and have no political ax to grind. King county gave me a splendid plurality last year, and, perhaps, if the voters of the other counties had have known me as well as the voters of King county did, they, too, would have done as well by me, but be that as it will or may, I am out of the game for office for all time to come." justice for all. Under such a guiding principle there would be no difficulty about disposing of the state and federal resources. They would be developed and used for the benefit of all, under state and federal control. Under such a guiding principle, there would be no quibbling about reasonable and unreasonable trusts, in restraint of trade. Such trusts would not be permitted to exist. In short, under such a principle, the machinery of our state and nation would be operated in behalf of man rather than property, the things of men. To this fact the people are awakening, they are asking a way out of the present conditions, into the way of righteous conditions, where man regardless of his conditions and ability, will have a fair chance in The Publisher's Notice.

Since the civil war we have been too busy in our reconstruction and in the development of our resources to take note of whither we were drifting. But recently the people have called a halt. They have demanded an inventory. They have discovered that the government, instead of belonging to the people, has been appropriated by porperty interests. Large aggregations of capital, big corporations, have taken possession of the machinery of the government, and are running it in the interests of capital. The people insist upon a change, in order that they themselves may be at the helm of the ship. Some of the most important changes demanded are: First: The election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. Second: Direct primaries for the nomination of all elective officers. Third: The direct election of delegates to national convention, with opportunity for the voter to express his choice for President and Vice-President. Fourth: Amendment to the state constitutions providing for the Initiative, Referendum and Recall. Fifth: A thorough-going corrupt practice act. These are all good measures, and any man opposed to them should not ask the support of the people and should not get that support even though he ask it. The greatest objection offered to any of them, is offered to the proposition of the Recall, and particularly to its application to judges. While it is possible that in some states there may be no need of the Recall, yet in in a state like ours, in its formative period, a state in which will center the great commercial interests of all countries, both east and west, a state, where some of the most important and far reaching commercial, political and social battles, are yet to be fought: in a state such as ours, occupying the strategic position that it does, in the great commercial world, the recall is a most wise provision for the people to have and to use in emergency. In fact, there is no well founded opposition to it in any state, nor to its application to any office. No one will contend for a single moment, that, if the people are able to govern themselves, if they have sufficient wisdom and judgment, to pass upon the qualifications of our public servants, and to choose from among men, certain ones to serve them in office at stated periods, that the same people have not sufficient wisdom and judgment, to exercise the power of recall, and to pass upon the qualification of our public servants in office, during any interim between the regular election period. Any objection to these provisions by which it is THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN hoped, that the control of the Government shall be placed more effectively in the hands of the people, arises from a few men who are not willing to trust the people to manage their own affairs. Specific charges have been filed by Councilman Goddard against City Engineer Thomson and it must be admitted that per se they look bad, but they are the same charges that the Times has bruted about the streets ever since Mr. Thomson refused to allow Col. Blethen to irrigate his lawn out of season, but it is now up to Mr. Thomson's accusers to make good their accusations. As the case now stands, either Mr. Thomson or Mr. Goddard will go down and out as a result of the investigation. If Mr. Goddard makes good, Thomson is officially discredited, yea even disgraced. If, after a fair and impartial investigation, Mr. Thomson is exonerated, then Mr. Goddard is officially discredited and the end of his official career in sight. The editor hereof is a personal admirer of both Thomson and Goddard and therefore wants to see absolute justice meted out, regardless of who falls in the fight. PERSONAL. Charles E. Houston, who has been recently arrested under an indictment returned against him by a federal grand jury, is perhaps one of the most vulnerable corporation tools that ever operated in a state. Once he was sent to the legislature of this state, and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that he was never even interested in a legislative measure unless it was in the interest of the corporation with which he was connected, unless in voting for the other fellow's bill he could tie him up to vote for his measure, which furthered the interests of the Pacific Coast Company. Houston is charged with being a party to defrauding the government by raising the price of coal and if he is not found guilty, it is our private opinion publicly expressed, he ought to be. E. L. Reeber, a Seattle publicity agent, turned a smooth trick on the Washington Editorial Association, if County Auditor Otto A. Case tells the straight tale. While Reeber is justly entitled to membership in the Association, yet his indifference to its workings caused many to ask, What is Reeber doing here? On Sunday, after fully 90 per cent of the editors had left for their homes, according to Case's story, Reeber and another member met and passed resolutions endorsing Case's candidacy for governor. And now Candidate Case is gallavanting about the state parading that spurious endorsement before the public, which he hopes will help him in his campaign. In spite of President Taft's protest to the effect that he knew nothing of the Dick to Dick letters and had had no dealings with Ryan, the Democratic papers are trying in every conceivable way to make the president out a liar. If they should succeed then the American people as a whole would be as badly disgraced as the Republican party. The word of the president of the country should be received as the truth or it is a darn poor country that he is president of. It is currently reported that there is con- siderable idle money in the state treasury. If the report be true then the grafters must not have been aware of it, and you can rest assured that the next legislature will make ample provisions for it. EDITORIAL "The goody goody people are trying to recall Mayor Dilling," thinks the Observer of Sunnyside. It looks as this is a true case of distance lending enchantment, because the most of those who have signed the recall voted at the last election for Charles Hyram Gill and Col. Blethen. Advertising, there is no doubt, to an extent pays, but it strikes us that the ones who are the most thoroughly convinced that it pays a merchant to advertise are those having advertising space to sell. "Home is the greatest institution in the world," exclaims an exchange, which must account for so many lazy whelps hanging around home all day long instead of getting out and rustling for the comforts of home. In last week's issue the printer made us say the wharfage charge was seventy cents per one hundred pounds, when we meant to say, seventy cents per ton, but regardless of the amount the seventy cents pays for, the cost is fully three times more than it should be. Voting the bonds that are now being asked for by the harbor advocates only creates an other commission that will perhaps squander the people's money as are many of the other commissions now doing, and we see no use of creating this commission at this particular time or at least until we can get rid of some of those we already have. "The election of Sammy Perkins," so says the Olympia Chronicle, "was a put up job as only two members of the state central committee were present when the trick was turned. This is rather a dangerous time for Republicans to put up jobs on the voters as there is grave danger of the worm turning at the next election. Unless California quits her jarring in the shape of earthquakes her Panama exposition will not be very liberally patronized. While there perhaps would be no danger of bad shake up such as San Francisco had some years ago, yet you cannot tell what a dead hen will do, and if such should happen with the city crowded with visitors it would mean a bad disaster. If what the public has been buying for beer was only foam and produced the effect that it did to those who drank it, what the deuce would real beer do. While John C. Lawrence is a most excellent gentleman and would make an ideal governor, yet he has no more show of being nominated by the Republicans' than an African Hotentot, and all because it is impossible for the Republican leaders to decide on a compromise candidate. The other candidates are too well levied up for Mr. Lawrence to oust them. If he runs at all he must expect to draw the greater part of his strength from the Hay forces and no one NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Notice is hereby given that the King County Board of Equalization will be in session three (3) weeks commencing MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1911, at the County Assessor's Office at the King County Court House, for the purpose of equalizing the tax roll of 1911.

Aug. 18. 1911 as yet has reported the withdrawal of Hay from the race. A young heiress, who eloped with a chaffeur and married him says, she is perfectly happy and content with the lot she has chosen though it does not meet the approval of "sawciety." She says she married a man that is a man and not a weakling and then adds in conclusion, "think of society frowning down on my marriage to an honest toiling young man and smiling at the marriage of Col. Astor to Madeline Force, and I have not words to express my opinion." Evidently Madeline Force is a soiled dove that has made a rich haul. If it be a fact that Col. William J. Bryan, the matchless one, is to give up politics and enter the ministerial work, he has tired of hoping to eventually get 16 to 1, but expects to immediately get it all, a characteristic of the preacher. "Not a presidential candidate," says Speaker Champ Clark. Of course not, because he sees the hand writing on the wall, which being interpreted says, William Howard Taft will be re-elected by an overwhelming majority. Under the belief that one Costello, a demented old Seattle pauper had left hidden about his delapidated old shack a bag of gold containing all the way from $1,000 to $50,000, the authorities appointed a number of men to seek for the fortune, who found nothing save the eccentricities of the old man, which would not bring much even though the purchaser had paid a high price for them. The very idea was preposterous and those engaged in the work were as foolish as was the old man. There are no more prospects of George H. Walker or J. E. Chilberg leaving the starting post for the Republican gubernarial nomination next year than there is of either of them being named as running mate to President Taft. Speaking from the people's standpoint two more unpopular men could not have been mentioned. If in the past any one in this section of the United States or even in the wide world entertained any doubts as to the greatness as well as world wide usefulness, in making the world better, of Col. Alden Joseph Blethen, Sr., editor in chief of the Seattle Daily Times, it must have all vanished after the recent banquet given by himself. It would be a sad blow to the future success of the world should the colonel die before he has completed the good work he has so ably begun. Though he rolled into Seattle a decade ago on borrowed money he managed to get hold of a newspaper plant on hot air and by strategy and heavy doses of black mail has managed to get together a quarter of a million dollars and in doing so he has rendered the world a great service. "What shall I do with my savings?" asks Ole Hanson. In view of the fact that both Hillman and Hanson are still selling chicken ranches, we suggest that the saver divide it up between the dealers and thereby save himself the trouble of trying to invest it.

It must have been a golden star that led the editor of the Star up to the point of making such a recommendation. Four women jurymen have been drawn on a panel in Prosser, this state, and thus is the woman suffrage question rapidly adjusting itself, Daddy Clayson of the Patriarch to the contrary notwithstanding. With woman suffrage comes all of the duties incumbent on those enjoying that pleasure even to jury duty and whether women do or do not like it they must take their medicine. To sit on a jury when called upon to do so is a duty every person enjoying the right of suffrage should be ready and willing to perform.

Within the past two years the city of Seattle has expended $200,000 and over for automobiles for city officials and yet more automobiles are demanded. Great cities grew and prospered long before the use of automobiles was known and there is no reason why it can not be done at this time. Such forms of grafting should be stopped at once if not sooner. With Frank P. Goss managing Otto Case's campaign and with Case belching up demagogy like lava from Mt. Vesuvius, he will come as near being nominated for governor as an Indian statue in front of a cigar stand. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for King County. Summons for Publication.
