Seattle Republican

Historical Society The Seattle Republican yond the grave, When a theatre manager was asked what part on the stage would Bula Binford the seventeen year old girl, who was the mother of an illegitimate child at the age of fifteen as a result of aliason with Henry Beatie, the young reprobate that has been setenced to die in the electric chair in Virginina for the murder of his wife, which elicit relation began when Bulah was only thirteen years of age, and all, for the purpose of continuing a life of shame with Bullah, he replied, "well no part, only to show her self, The people will pay just to see her and all I expect is for her to show herself.' This is fair sample of the civilization of which we boast so much. That miserable young wretch, the direct cause of the death of an innocent young woman and responsible for the electrocution of Henry Beatie, who immediatly after her release from prison, rushen off to New York, where she posed before a moving picture operator, the films of which are being sent broad cast over land to be put on exhibition in the moving picture shows, where the little girls and boys by the millions will view it and learn of her brazen disgrace. What effect it will have on the minds of those little children the owners of moving pictures care not just so it proves a drawing card for the house and makes money for the owner. In Denver it is reported the authorities have barred the pictures from the show houses and if the same was done all over the country it would be a God send. A bulletin. just issued from the Census Bureau, shows that: Of the whole number, 262,720 of farms reported in 1910 in Alabama there were 152,347, or fifty-eight per cent, operated white farmers and 110,273, or 42 per cent, by Negroes and other non-white farmers, as compared with a total of 223,220 in 1900, of which 129,137, or 58 per cent, were conducted by white farmers and 94,083, or 42 per cent, by Negro and other non-white. The increase in the number of farms of white farmers during the decade amounted to 23,210 and in the number of farms of Negro and other non-white farmers to i6,200. The principal point to keep in mind in regard to these figures is that the colored people in Alabama have bought over 16,000 additional farms during the past ten years, while the white people have bought 23,000 additional farms. When it is kept in mind that the colored people of Alabama are only about 45 per cent, of the whole population, this is not bad showing by any means indeed, it is most interesting and encouraging showing.—Exchange The Astor-Force marriage has been the general topic of conversation for the past four weeks or more and it was the theme of a thousand and one sermons last Sunday and yet the same thing is done almost a thousand times every day by other couples in the United States and it was no more for Single Copies, 10 Cents.

Susie Revels Cayton - - Associate. The State Taxpayers' league again calls upon the people of the state to be more careful of their public expenditures and to economize in all INCREASING TAXES lines. The league maintains that we are now in an era of extravagance, so far as public monies are concerned, and that if a halt be not called, next year will see us plunging still further in the direction of debt and higher taxes. Some interesting figures are submitted showing that in four years the total amount of taxes annually levied in this state for state, county, municipal and school purposes has almost doubled. No one will maintain that the population of th state or its material prosperity has in any degree kept pace with this increase in expenditures. Whereas in 1906 the total tax levy was $14, 049,675,31, in 1910 it was $27,083,979.84. This high figure has been reached by an increase each year varing from two to four millions. As pointed out by the league 1906 was a year of unusual prosperity. Since then business conditions have become quieter. It seems that the public, in its expenditures, should pay some attention to this fact, and try to maintain some relation between taxes and the abiliy to pay them. As long as public officials are permitted without protest on the part of the tax payers to spend the money with a lavish hand just so long will the general taxes continue outrageously high. In King county the budget for 1912 has been increased something like four million dollars and that too in the face of the financeal crisis which has made times harder than ever before in the history of the country, and this making it almost impossible for the property holders to meet their tax obligations. Last year it cost but $32,000 to run the county hospital, and yet in the face of the present strenuous financial times Commissioner Hamilton has asked that $94,000, be set aside by the board for the expenses of the hospital next year, which to say the least is a burning shame. This will be done for Hamilton and Rutherford have formed a working combination in the board and are deaf and dumb to the appeal of retrenchment. It is costing the county thousands of dollars to maintain a string of automobiles. all of which is wholly unnecessary, but the bills for which ```markdown ``` the tax payers must foot and the same are included in the county budget. The same extravigance is found in the city budget, which is being tabulated for 1912 and it will cost the city nearly a million dollars for automobiles next year, not one of which is necessary, save those in the fire and police-departments. The heads of the departments in the city vie with each other as to which has the "swellest" automobile, which is alleged to be for the use of the department, when in fact it becomes a private pleasure machine in which the families of the heads of the departments gallavant about the city at the expense of the tax payers. Last Sunday's paper reported Superintendent Walters spending two days in the garage selecting the most handsome and expensive machine that money could buy for the street department. Under the circumstances can the taxes be anything else but excessive. It is the duty of the tax payers to go before the board of county commissioners and protest against the budget that Hamilton and Rutherford propose to put through within the next three weeks and the same should be done with the city council advocating the great increase for 1912. In view of the fact that neither Hamilton nor Rutherford expect to be re-elected the protest would have little or no effect, but in case they made an effort to put budget through in spite of opposition then the matter should be taken into the courts. The taxes in Seattle are so high that the man with a home is trying to give it away rather that pay the excessive taxes charged against it. A Denver preacher went before a wronged husband to make a clean breast of his illicit relations with the wife of the man, who was a leading member of the pastors congregation, that he might set him-self right and take a new start he was shot dead by the husband, who had never suspected any undue intimacy existing between his wife and the pastor until he heard the confession. There is no doubt but that that pastor got a new start and let us hope he started out right in his new start. When would be Gov.

WM. PITT TRIMBLE'S ANNOUNCEMENT On another page will be found the announcement of William Pitt Trimble as a candidate for governor. In selecting this man King County has put fourth one of her worthy citizens, if his platform which will come later will ring true, there is no reason why this man should not be the chief executive for the next four years. Washington is sadly in need of a real business man for governor. The present executive is merely an accident and as such he is acting the part. The state is running at an wful rate of expense. Taxes have reached THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN aearly the point of confiscation. Each session of the legislature brings additional commissions, most of which has been urged by the present governor. There are now more than a regiment of state employees, most of whom are working overtime for the reelection of the present executive. At least 300 employees could be cut off the pay-roll without impairing the service. The public service commission could be increased by two, their duties enlarged and the tax commission could be abolished. The bank inspector, the oil inspector and probably the board of control. With these offices merged into that of the public service commission a saving of $500,000 a year in salaries could be made.—The Forum. R. S. Lambert four times elected to the house of representative of the legislature of the state of Washington from Whatcom county was in Settle one day this week and said, "If Wm. Pitt Trimble is really in the race for governor, it seems to me that he will be the most logical candidate from King Countg and I believe he would make a masterly fight in the other counties of the state. He looks good to me. W. H. Clark of Vashon Island says, "It occurs to me that Wm. Pitt Trimble will give Gov. Hay the hardest fight of any one vet mentioned in connection with the gub- FRIDAY.

Gregory, editor of the Bothwell Sentinel said, "I hear quite a bit of Trimble talk for governor in my section of the country, although I myself am not taking any part in it. It occurs to me that King county might get togather on Trimble and put up a manly fight. J. Edward Hawkins, the well known attorney at law in Seattle with offices in the Boston block said. "Without further ado so far as those who have already been mentioned in connection with the next gubernatorial nomination, I am for Mr. Pitt Trimble and I believe an over whelming majority of those with whom I associate feel as I do. Homer E. Turner an attorney at law in the New York block says, "As to the candidates already mentioned I am for Wm. Pitt Trimble and I believe he will give the other fellows the prettiestpolitical run that any of them has ever had. John H. Ryan, a prominent newspaper man of Tacoma says, In spite of the Perkins Press and Hay's appointees in Pierce county, if Wm. Pitt Trimble really enters the gubernatorial race he will come pretty nearly leading Gov. Hay in Pierce county.

There seems to be a general tendency on the part of nations to build larger battle- ships, which has inspired some one to make the following comparison of the battleships of the world: “The United States has four battleships of the dreadnought type that are nearly as big as the Rivadavia and two of which will be more powerful so far ts their main bat- teries are concerned than the Rivadavia will be. The Arkansas and Wyoming are 860 tons smaller in size, but carry identical main batteries, while the New York and Texas, the building of which ships is now under way, are 500 tons smaller than the Argen- tina dreadnought. The New York and Texas will mount ten 14-inch guns, how- ever, making their main batteries the great- est ever placed on board a battleship in this or any other navy. “Great, Britain’s nearest approach in bat- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN tleships are those of the King George IV type, which will displace, when completed, 25,000 tons, and which will mount ten 13.5- inch guns, next to the 14-inch guns that are to be mounted on the United States ships New York and Texas the most powerful naval guns in the world. Great Britain, however, has building a cruiser, the Queen Mary, that will be bigger in displacement by 1,350 tons than the Rivadavia. “Germany’s type of dreadnought battle ships that can be compared to the Rivadavia are the seven of the Kaiser class, now in process of construction. These ships will displace 23,000 tons, and will mount ten 12,2-inch guns in their main batteries. “Japan is understood to have in contem- plation the construction of a dreadnought of the same tonnage as the Rivadavia. Her dreadnought now building, two of the Ka- wachi class, are 7,000 tons smaller than the Rivadavia, but will mount main batteries of 12-inch guns i nnumber to those on the Argentine ship. France has four dread- noughts of the Courbet type projected, which, when completed, will displace 23,467 tons, and carry main batteries of twelve 12- inch guns. Italy’s biggest type is repres- ented by the Cone di Cavour of 22,700 tons, launched two weeks ago; Austria is build- ing two of 20,000 tons, and Russia four of the Poltava type, which will also mount a dozen 12-inch guns, and when completed will displace 23,300 tons-” Fooled it.—Mike (in bed, to alarm-clock as it goes off)—“I fooled yez that time.

The same old story, ran onto a rock during a heavy fog, and to make time, left the beaten course. Captains of vessels who are will- ing to take chances are sure to get caught, but taking these chances, ought to be made a criminal offense. Cautious, careful com- manders of vessels will lay by in a heavy fog, and should be compelled to do so when loaded with human freight. The very heavy expense of maintenance of public automobiles is being discussed by the people, and it does seem that both the city and county went too far in that line. As a matter of fact, but very few are ac- ‘tually needed. So far as the private use of the machines is concerned, that could easily be remedied. Pass an ordinance that one dollar an hour shall be paid for the use of a machine for private use and deduct the same from the official’s salary, a statement to be made monthly, and a false statement to forfeit the office. That will fix ’em. Our neighbors across the line are terribly worked up over reciprocity. It is one of those perplexing problems that can only be guessed at. Whether the Canadian or the American will get the best of the bargain is the point in issue. For years, reciprocity with Canada has been urged by some of our statesmen, and Blaine was one of its most ardent supporters. The assassination of Garfield took Blaine out of the ‘cabinet and delayed reciprocity to this time. It ought to be given a trial. If it is no good, the treaty can be abrogated most any time. One of Governor Hay’s latest appoint- ments in King County was to put Judge Myers on the Superior Court bench, and it is daily becoming more apparent that’ his appointment was not a mistake. Judge Myers tackles legal propositions in such a way that even the layman is impressed with the fact that he is a man of superior legal ability. That fine consciousness of feeling possessed by some judges that makes it im- possible for them to decide contrary to law seems to be highly developed in Judge Myers. His printed decisions have the true ring and Governor Hay should be congratu- lated on this appointment. It is said that over in Canada where they have tried out the single tax that everybody is satisfied with it. At one time it was thought that the single tax would wear off of a man in about seven years, but evident- ly that is a mistake. Two of our council- men, Erickson and Griffiths, want to try it in Seattle, and I hope they will get a chance to give it a trial. Now that the fly- ing machine, wireless telephone and teleg- raphy and many other things thought im- possible have become assured facts, I find the safest plan is to believe in everything. Give the single tax a show. He only smiled, and it wasn’t one of those good natured, contented, happy smiles, but a contemptuous, insolent smile, that Craw- ford smiled, when Judge Brown gave him thirty days in jail for violating the criminal laws of the state. For five years and more, the patrons of his street car line have asked him to obey the law and his answer was always a smile. When he robbed his patrons of a double fare in the city limits he smiled. When he prevented the improvement of the public streets with injunctions, it was with a smile, and no doubt, he will continue to Bp A. G. McBRIDE See AE | eee Sb ce area “i visitors will bring him to his senses, and though he will probably continue to smile, it will be a different smile that Judge Brown produced. We have often heard it said “be- ware of the chronic smiler.” When you go to the court house take a look at Cashier Grant, in the clerk’s office. You will not only be struck with his good looks, but equally so with his bland smile and lamb-like demeanor. You wouldn’t take iim for much of a fighter, would you? and you will be astonished to know that he was one of the leaders in the fight that made Crawford good. Those Rainier Beach warriors deserve a monument and some medals, too. I deplored the apparent lack of good, well seasoned material for governor in the last issue of the Republican and since then, one of our citizens, Mr. W. P. Trimble, has been named as a suitable man. I am going to look this man over and tell you about him later on. His friends claim he is just what we need, but I want to know for myself. Councilmen Griffiths and Erickson will please stand up and listen. Your friend, Crawford, of the Seattle, Renton and South- ern, who recently developed signs of being good, has broke out again in a new spot. The city limits extend a number of blocks beyond Taylor’s Mill, but Crawford has es- tablished the five-cent limit at that place, and patrons living within the city limits, but past the mill, are compelled to walk to their homes from that place, for the reason that he will not stop his cars at the city line, or between there and the mill. There are a great many people living down there who, for the reasons stated, must walk for blocks night and morning, which could be avoided if Crawford would stop his cars at the city line. It will probably take an ordi- nance and Judge Brown to get a move on him, and we urge immediate action. Our “Teddy” does not agree with Taft’s ideas of universal arbitration. At first blush, one would think Taft was right, and on a re-hearing, one knows that he is way off wrong. Who would consent to arbitrate our right to enforce the Monroe Doctrine? It is doubtful if it is worth fighting for, but the people believe in it. President Taft recently opened: his 1912 campaign at Hamilton, Mass., in a vigorous assault on the Democrats in general, and on Senator La Follette, Clark and Under- wood in particular. Not wishing to be outdone, no, not even by a President, our King County sheriff opened his campaign for governor of the state on last Tuesday in a vigorous and well organized attack on the West Seattle police. How many votes these two candidates made in their grand debut, the papers do not state, and then from conflicting reports, it cannot at this time be told what amount of injury the parties attacked sustained. It appears, however, that Sheriff Hodge engaged in a verbal warfare with his old- time enemy, Policeman Foraker, and being worsted in this harmless combat, sought to even up by engaging the West Seattle guar- dian of the peace in a personal encounter. The King County peace officer ordered his speediest county automobile and with his chauffeur for a squire, this modern Don Onixote and Sancho Panza issued forth, as FRIDAY, Sept. 15, 1911 police station with the intention of “doing up” Policeman Foraker, but not unlike the fellow the bible speaks of, who went out to shear, but came back shorn. If reports of the conflict be true, the West Seattle police officer landed once, only once on the fight- ing sheriff, and the officer’s fist came in contact with the sheriff’s body only a short distance below his heaving bosom, and then the policeman threw the alleged Knight Errant on top of the heating stove that did duty in keeping the policemen warm at the station, which took the torrid qualities out of the stove and the belligerancy out of the sheriff. Now Sheriff Hodge is a good fellow and there is no telling how much force he may develop in his race for governor, but he is needlessly running chances. It’s all right in Seattle where he is known, but suppose now he had ran the same bluff on some men that he did on Foraker, why his county automobile could have brought him home a fit subject for the morgue. Secretary Wilson of President Taft’s cabinet seems to be getting his foot in it on all sides of late and it begins to look as if President Taft will have to dump him for general indiscretion. His dropping of the pure food expert in the interest of the trusts and his recent acceptance of an honorary presidency of the Brewers’ Association were indiscretions wholly uncalled for, and it is now up to the secretary to retire from the cabinet of the President as he can no longer be classed as a diplomat and capable of holding a place in the cabinet of the Presi- dent of the United States. John Cort says the success of the drama this year is dependent upon the crop, that is to say, if the crop is light and does not fill up the vacant space in the barn, it will be a splendid year for the dramatics to go barn-storming. John Cort always was a wise old guy. Miles C. Moore of Walla Walla, who was once a territorial governor of Washington, and who is one of the wealthy men of the state by inheritance, is by no means pleased with Secretary Fisher’s solution of the Alas- ka difficulty, which is to the effect that, the government take the development of her coal fields in hand. Of course Governor Moore opposes that plan because it means that the companies in which he is more or less interested will lose millions of dollars, which they had planned to filch from the pockets of the people. If such men as Gov- ernor Moore revolt from President Taft then pray where will the light, unless they form a little hell of their own? The Demo- cratic party will give them cold comfort, and not near so much as will the Repub- licans, but the real Republicans of the party will gladly open the door for such party wreckers as Governor Moore anl Colonel Blethen to walk out and either join the Democratic party or organize a party of their own. It will be a good riddance of bad rubbish. Billy Sunday has made the assertion that, it costs five dollars to save a soul, and the Northwest Catholic Progress, in comment- ing on the allegation, says, “Some souls we know of would be a dear bargain at that.” Is it possible that the organ of the most powerful and devout church in the whole world is of the opinion that, there are some human souls too worthless to be saved and sent to the realm of eternal bliss? How dif- ferent is that from the teachings of the meek and lowly Jesus of Nazareth, who said, none ate too wretched to be saved. Comments on County Prss cee ecessiR STEN IES PETS ASAD TTA ETE SESS ETE IS SIS aC For the space of one short week the Monitor-Transcript was operated as a daily and the editor thereof says over his own signature he cleaned up the enormous sum of $48.50 for his labors and ads, that is perhaps more money than The Seattle Re- publican cleans up in a whole month. You are pretty nearly right, brother, but we pay thirty dollars per month for office rent, fifty dollars per month house rent, thirty dollars per month for household help, pay all the running expenses of the sheet and then pro- vide for a wife and five children and two grandchildren. Is there any wonder the editor hereof is not able to clean up even so small a sum of money as $48.50 per month? But even at that may perhaps you are mistaken. There may be some politics being played in Olympia as intimates the editor of the Davenport Tribune, but certainly the gov- ernor, who hails from Lincoln county, is not guilty of playing politics, for is he not a plain, unsophisticated merchant of Wilbur, and as innocent of the political game as a new born baby? The individual members of his hundred and one boards and commis- sions with their multiplied hundreds of au- ditors, adjustors and inspectors may be in- cidentally taking a hand in the game behind the governor's back, but woe to their meas- ley hides if he ever catches them in the act. According to one Charles F. Manning of Everett, who is quoted in the Washing- tonian of Hoquiam, prohibition in Everett has not only closed the saloons, but like- wise the pulpits, as there is not enough money in circulation to pay the pastors. Even the whiskey advocates ought to ask the prosecuting attorney to have that man sent to the insane asylum, if for nothing else than the slandering of the cause they represent. It remained for the editor of the Elma Chronicle to discover that “prosperity, like the tariff, is largely a local issue, and every community makes its own prosperous con- ditions.” ‘That sounds good, but the actual facts do not bear out the statement. For an instance, suppose the mills about Elma would turn out millions of feet of lumber every month and yet find no outside market for it, how long would prosperity remain in that community? The tariff is in a way a local issue, that is to say, the tariff on wool is an issue in the wool growing sections, and the tariff on lumber, hides, cotton and every other article produced in large quan- tities in a country, is purely local to the sec- tion that produces them, but the tariff must be regulated to meet the whole condition and not the local condition, unless it is the intention of those local communities to withdraw from the Union and set up gov- ernments of their own. The same is true with the prosperity of the country, it must adjust itself to the whole country and not to individual communities. So thoroughly disgusted is Private John M. Allen, formerly representative from one of the Mississippi districts for eight terms, over the election of James K. Vardeman, the great white chief, to the U. S. Senate, that he is quoted as saying: “Never again while Vardeman represents the state, I once loved so dearly and for so many years a bright and shining star in the galaxy of the states, will I register as being from Missis- sippi, but in future U. S. A. will follow my name on all public registers.” We knew that Vardeman was a dirty dose, but had not suspected he was bad enough to prompt a fellow citizen from his standpoint to speak thusly. Issuing special numbers on the part ot the White River Journal is getting to be of common occurrence, and the beauty of it, all of them seem to be well patronized. The Journal is published in one of the most fer- tile and prosperous valleys and communi- ties in the whole Northwest, and it is show- ing the proper spirit on the part of the in- habitants thereof, in helping the Journal help them. There is so much selfishness in the make- up of the man of the United States that is money-mad that, it oozes out of the pores of his body every time he moves. It is learned from an exchange that the hotel men of the state are raising a fund among them- selves to advertise the state, when in fact they are contributing a small part of it and begging the balance and it is all being done not so much for the general good of the state as with the hope of having more guests in their hotels. Delinquent subscribers to weekly papers have always been more or less held up to public ridicule and the following from an exchange shows that Mr. Editor still pays his respects to Mr. Delinquent: It seems that the editor dropped in to see a neighbor, seriously ill, and who was considerably in arrears for the paper. “How do you feel?” asked the pencil pusher. “All looks bright before me,” gasped the dying delinquent. “T thought so,” chuckled the editor, “and you'll see the blaze in about ten minutes.” When the Blaine Journal made use of the: excerpt quoted below, it spoke more wisely than it fully realized, but not more wisely than Will E. Humphrey has found out since he returned from Washington City. The Journal said: “The political enemies of Congressman Humphrey are already lay- ing plans in Seattle for his scalp, and it looks like the congressman will have a hard- er fight next fall than a year ago, when he came so near going down to defeat.” Those who are opposed to Mr. Humphrey, however, are not necessarily his enemies, but they are the poor people’s friends, which Mr. Humphrey likes a good deal of being. While no secrecy was asked and none in particular expected by Mr. L. H. Gray of the letters he sent out to the weekly papers, yet the editor of the Argus of Seattle was the only newspaper man in the whole state that published private correspondence. Mr. Gray is not at all sore about it, but the un- gentlemanly act on the part of the editor of the Argus shows the kind of stuff the man is made of. The why did he not use the “five” he spoke of, and yet published all of the matter sent including the per- sonal letter, was to inform Mr. Gray that in future he had better act like coming through with the kind of money that looks good to him or he will hear from the “Awgus” again.
