Race riots boiled down is the rioters racing to rope a fleeing darkey. If it's going to take three months to empanel a jury to try McNamara then why not lock it up until a verdict is reached. The Hay seeds of Washington seem to have been pretty well distributed from the enormous political crop M. E. is harvesting. Pinchot, pronounced pin sho, has bested Ballinger in the latter's own town, for in his Seattle meeting he was the whole show and a pretty big one at that. Dr. Cook's second attempt to pull the skin over the eyes of the Copenhagen citizens almost resulted in Dr. Cook getting the skin pulled off his eyes. Commercialism has for its rewards hysteria and homicide, argues Theodore Roosevelt, and, it seems to us, suicide frequently gets mixed up with them. It begins to look as if E Pluribus Unum will be the motto of the once powerful Chinese empire. We hope the Dragon will get Uncle Sam to paint his banner. Christianity, it is declared, has wrought wonders in revolutionizing Turkey. There is no doubt of it as a mob of enraged Turks lynched a fellow citizen not long since. Whether guilty or innocent McNamara will probably die of old age before the case is ended, and, therefore, personally he seems little if at all interested in its final outcome. Populism per se may have died when the Democrats swallowed the party, nevertheless President Taft is "in the middle of the road," where the Populist party tried to be. Of course the Republicans are divided, as argue the Democrats all over the country, for some of them are on the Atlantic coast and some on the Pacific, and if that is not division it is almost. Notwithstanding the fact Gen. Prosperity was some months ago ordered to the relief of Fort Taft, he has not as yet shown up, and the garrison is in sore distress for the necessary coin to pay trust prices. "The devil believes even more than you, but he repents not," said Gipsy Smith. Judging from the number of men that supported Hiram Charles Gill for reelection, the average human being of this section at least does darn little repenting. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, OCT. 27, 1911. It Can't Be Done. Judge King Dykeman's special divorce court to look into cases before going to trial, and if possible bridge the marital breaches, might work in some instances, but when two sensible persons conclude after months' and years' experience that they can not agree, it seems foolish for another man, though a judge, and perhaps with no more intelligence than the aggrieved husband, to try to show the couple their mistakes. If sensible persons can not themselves reason together and harmoniez their differences, it is simply impossible for judge or jury, preacher or patron saint to do more than patch up the immediate trouble, which may break out the very next day. When there is no hope of a man and a woman agreeing and living as husband and wife in perfect peace or as near it as two persons can, then the best thing for them to do is to be legally separated, the divorce scandal to the contrary notwithstanding. Trouble for Charity Clubs. Francis McLean, the noted charity worker of Greater New York, was in Seattle last week and warned the local organization to make preparations to meet a new form of charity work after the opening of the Panama canal, which was sure to come. Its opening, he argued, will bring to your city many thousands of destitute foreigners, who will have to be cared for. The citizens of the Northwest had thought of the opening of the canal only in the light of it bringing them accumulated business and this warning was like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. If the East has the trouble with the foreigners that he says it does then it seems that only foreigners with money would be permitted to land in this country. Unwilling to Divvy up. J. Pierpont Morgan, whose personal taxes last year were $400,000, protested against the same being raised this year to $800,000, and after much swearing, denying and proving the amount for this year was fixed at $550,000. That seems an enormous sum for one's personal taxes and you almost doubt of any one in the United States having that much in their possession classed as personal effects, yet in dollars and cents the personal effects of Morgan cost and are really valued at five times that amount. Morgan accumulated his vast wealth by taking advantage of the general government and the poor people and despite that advantage he is unwilling to pay taxes on what he has accumulated by unfair methods. Behold the Man. Me. Theodore Roosevelt again jumps into the lime light and does so at a time to attract an unusual amount of attention to Teddy. In LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 publican VOLUME XVIII, NUMBER 34. COMMENT a speech a few days ago he came out squarely for the recall of judges and advocated it from the stand point, that people can always be trusted on all public questions, which is more or less correct. President Taft has made the recall of judges one of his chief topics of discussion on his famous swing around the circles, and he has opposed such a procedure with all his might and main. The question is, Did Roosevelt speak on this muchly discussed subject at this time to attract attention from Taft to Teddy? If so is it not a fact that Roosevelt is putting himself in a position to oppose the re-nomination of Taft? If he does then would he advocate the nomination of La Follette or is he planning to himself capture the nomination? It looks as if Roosevelt has come to the conclusion that, the country will go to the damnation bow wows if he does not direct it. Another Race Riot. Last Monday's Associated Press dispatches reported another race riot in Oklahoma and though, in the town where the riot occurred, there are about 1,200 inhabitants, but one third of the number are Negroes, yet the whites became so badly alaremd over the situation that they were reported as having sent their women folk away on trains to prevent them from falling into the hands of the hostile blacks. Just think of four hundred down trodden blacks, living in a hostile country, and yet muster up courage enough, all in a day, to put 800 whites in such a state of fear and commotion that, they had to have their women flee on trains to save their lives. Somebody has wilfully lied in this matter or the whites of that community are the most cowardly lot that have ever lived in the United States. When mobs want to commit outrages and dastardly crimes it is easy enough to muster up an excuse to justify the acts. Oh for an outpouring of the spirit of, "Do unto others as you would have them do to you," on the part of the white men of this "land of the free and home of the brave." God be with us, you and I. Only a Sneak Thief. Suppose Frank Harris had stolen that pair of lace curtains he was trying to sell; and suppose Detective Joe Bianchi knew they were stolen, then was the detective justified in killing the man because he did not submit to arrest, but tried to escape? In Seattle is the life of a human being worth no more than a weather beaten pair of lace curtains, worth at best not to exceed fifty cents? That there was an animus in the detective killing Frank Harris after he had ceased to run is so patent that a blind man can se it. It might have been different with poor Frank, thief as he was, if he had had a ten 2 The People's Forum By A. G. McBride spot to have handed over to the detective, but being an ordinary sneak thief, who only swiped a dollar's worth of stuff at a time, and never having anything to give up, made his life worth very little in the eyes of the average detective, who had grown rich on a salary of $90 per month. Only the Rich Enjoy It. The expenditure of $25,000,000 on good roads through the mountain passes of this state, which are not open to trael, owing to heavy snow falls, to exceed two months a year, is a scheme of the men able to own automobiles, who desire to gallavant over the state in the summer months, and in that way take their vacations. The building of such roads would not benefit the farmers a single iota, and would be taxation without just cofpensation. The Good Roads Convention, which closed its annual session at Wenatchee last Saturday, went on record as favoring the building of such a road and the expenditure of that amoung of money in its construction. In that convention the farmer and the poor man were scantily represented, and so the resolution went through with an overwhelming whoop. Persons seeking legislative nominations next year should be questioned very closely as to whether they favor such a measure and if they do, then it is up to the farmers and the men without automobiles to turn them down. Let Creed Be Overlooked. Recently Cardinal Gibbons in a speech startled as well satisfied his audience by declaring, "the United States should elect more governors of the Catholic faith," and further said, "where the liberties of the people are committed to a Catholic their liberties are safer than when committed to any other individual," and for these words we have no quarrel with the prelate, but we are not one of those, who believe one's religious beliefs play any part as to his dealings with his fellow man. The Catholic is of the same flesh and blood as the Protestant and reads the same bible. For a person to be converted from the Catholic to the Protestant faith in no sense changes the general disposition of the person and he or she is no better and no worse and this applies equally to the Protestant that is converted to Catholicism. In other words, our religious creed has nothing to do with our commercial and governmental activity. From one's dealings with his fellow man it is utterly impossible to tell a Catholic from a Protestant, and we therefore believe that persons for public office should be chosen without regard to race, color or creed. "Don't tell me that J. Uri Lloyd is the well known writer, who was made world wide famous by His String Town on The Pike, is a nigger," exclaimed a member of a book lover's club, "for there is not a word of truth in it." There were however those present, who knew the man, and proved conclusively to all present that he was a mulatto, which resulted in the book being cut from the list of select volumes by a unanimous vote of the club, but despite that fact the writings of Alexander Dumas still occupy a prominent place on the shelf. What fools we mortals be. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN John Larson, a native of Sweden, was a juror in the Pryor case trial this week in the Superior Court. The prosecuting witness is a comely Swedish girl and during one of the numerous recesses, John had a quiet visit iwth Regna and talked about the case. What Regna told John was too good to keep and John told his fellow jurors about what Regna had told him. Of course, John voted with Regna. One of the jurors gave the whole thing away to the court and something happened, and it happened to John, for he not only lost the six hours he was in jail, but a month's pay as a juror, and that wasn't all either, he was sent home. Poor John. After hearing of all the trouble that Pryor got into on account of Regna, one would think he would have steered clear of Regna's bewitching and fascinating smiles. I saw the appellant's brief on appeal to the Supreme Court a few days ago in the Wappenstein case. No matter which way the court decides, I fear there will be unjust criticism. I say this because I remember how unmercifully the Supreme Court of California was excoriated when it held Prosecutor Heney's indictment in the Schmitz case bad. In fact there was an awful howl over that decision all over the United States, and even Prof. Wigmore declared the opinion of the court wrong. Now, the meanest part of the criticisms is that the courts were wrong and the Supreme Court was right. The decision was based on correct principles of criminal pleading as required by the constitution of that and other states. It was wrong, cruelly wrong, to criticize the decision, and ever since I have wondered why some good criminal pleader didn't come to the defense of the court. I was going to say that I hope our Supreme Court will tackle the Wappenstein case the same as it would any other criminal case, but I won't say it, for I know it will do its full duty regardless of what anyone may think. I believe in court criticisms, but this should be done with care and by those who are competent to judge. "Old Reliable" says that insurgents are anti-Republicans. Comes pretty near to the truth. Cuts awful close. Insurgents are surely anti lots of things the old-time Republicans advocate. For instance, Insurgents believe in keeping faith with the people on party platforms and when a down grade revision of the tariff is promised it shall be down grade and not up hill, and that is anti-Republican. The Insurgents believe in the direct primary and to let the people and not the rotten politicians name the candidates for office, and that is anti-Republicanism. The Insurgents believe in recalling the judges if they become frivolous and corrupt and that is anti-Republican. The Insurgents believe in the general recall, initiative and referendum by which corrupt officials can be replaced by honest ones; by enacting needed laws that corrupt or inefficient officials will not give the people and that is anti-Republican. The truth about the matter is that old-time Republicans ought to be thankful that Aldrich and his coterie of political pirates have forced insurgency into existence, for without this much-abused insurgency Aldrich Republicanism would be like a rotten mackerel in the moonlight—it would stink and shine, but be good for nothing else. The colonel's grand jury held a short session and adjourned to another day. I don't understand why the grand jury is kept in session for so long a time. I hope the P.-I. and Star will look into this matter. The Times don't like it. It's an unusual procedure. Why? There must be some reason for it. Turn on the searchlight. Harold Preston, one of the best lawyers on the Pacific Coast, for a second time has refused an appointment to one of the most honorable position within the. gift of the governor of the state. I was intending to offer Harold a place on the Superior Court bench, but under the circumstances will not do so. Joseph Blethen has been put at the head of the Potlatch for 1912, and everybody tells me that the office has found the right man. Some people don't like the colonel and others don't like the other one, but everybody yells for Joe. Gipsy Smith, the great revivalist, has come to Seattle for two weeks, and he has tackled a pretty tough proposition. Billy Sunday was here once and looked the field over, and then he skipped and has not, and probably never will come back. If Gipsy Smith makes good, much good will be accomplished in Seattle. I would like to turn him loose on a few fellows up on profanity hill. Joy riding in city automobiles is coming to a close. I wish the Star had been present at the killing. Politically, Seattle is surely on the bum. There hasn't been a candidate exhibited for weeks. Quiet, well, I should say. Even the county commissioners have quit quarreling. Bob, our irascible Bob, has not been in a state of eruption for weeks, no, not since he didn't lick Officer McKinley. Even Bob Ingersoll is afflicted, and hasn't been so unperturbed for seven weeks. The one thing I know of that is absolutely normal is Major Jones. While the commissioners are threatening to build a temporary court house on the Yesler Block, I want to suggest that they cut up the old Orpheum building into rooms for the justice courts and other overflow offices. The people don't want a temporary court house. When the Civic Center is established, then the bonds for a new building will be forthcoming. I like to see a young man make good. I like to say so too, and for these reasons, I wish to say that Justice of the Peace Carroll is one of the young men that has more than made good. When he decides a case, he says why he does so, and bet on it, it's the right dops. Some day Judge Carroll will move up onto the hill and he will make good there too. What does La Follette stand for?" asks an esteemed exchange. It's our unprejudiced opinion that he would stand for almost anything in the way of a presidential nomination.—Ridgefield Reflector. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1911 Country Press and Comment FRIDAY. OCTOBER 27. 1911 The Rosilaia Citizen-Journal wants to know, if President Taft is a standpatter or a progressive and adds, "the voter will have to figure that out for him or herself before going to the polls next presidential election." Whether he is a standpatter or a progressive in name does not amount to very much to the good citizen, but the question is, Does he stand for the people or the corporations and trusts? We have settled that for ourselves many months ago and we believe Taft himself is for the people, but unfortunately he has a good many in his official family who are for the trusts and who have and are still deceiving the chief executive. In commenting on the published statement that "North Yakima is bankrupt," the Washington Standard of Olympia dryly remarks, "There are others, and what are you going to do about it? Wait of course for the tax payer to come along and assess the property high enough to cover up the graft of the high flying public officials." The man holding office seems to care very little about the amount of money he runs through while holding the office. He evidently works on the theory, while in the office he has the opportunity, and if he does not make money when he has the opportunity, it is impossible for him to do so when he has no opportunity. "Every good Republican should read a good Democratic paper," argues the Rockford Register, and clinches this argument with, "the editor has been reading a Democratic paper, and learned from it that the Progressives of the country must look to the Democratic party for relief." If we remember correctly the Populist and Free Silver Republicans, once well organized, were told the same thing by the Democrats, and they were foolish enough to believe it and act accordingly, and, if we again remember correctly, soon the Populists and F. S. Republicans could not be found, and though that has been more than a decade ago they are still looking for themselves. For the past year or more the newspaper men of the state of Washington have been of the opinion, journalistically speaking, Gene Lorton was in the air, and when he left the state and went to Oklahoma to manage a little daily in a prairie town, they felt absolutely certain of it, and now comes the Associated Press dispatches with a report, that Gene edited an issue of his paper in the air, he having accompanied an aviator, and dropping the copy to the ground. Newspaper men often get wheels in their heads, but this seems to be the first instance on record of one getting wings in his heads. "King county is to have a public park," says the White River Journal. "The county owns sixty acres at the confluence of the White and the Stuck rivers and ten thousand dollars will be expended on beautifying it every year until it has been put in splendid condition." Money could not be used to a better advantage, and if the county would cut out the automobile graft it might buy sixty or more acres in another section and build another park. Money expended in and Comment parks will be of service to the whole county, but in automobiles only of course to the officers and their families. Thank the good God there is at least one happy community in the state of Washington, one where poverty does not parade up and down the streets in a hopeless frame of mind, and that community is the city of Kennewick, if the Reporter thereof can be believed. It says: "With Kennewick's schools filled to overflowing, and with every house in the city occupied, The Reporter believes it comes nearer presenting a picture of a prosperous and substantial community than any other town of like size in the state." It may be another plume in the cap of the Inland Empire to get the proposed ostrich farm near Spokane, as suggests the Tribune of Davenport, but if the madame waits to go out until she gets that proposed plume she will not be seen on the streets for a good many years to come. In an article appearing in the Dawn of Ellensburg we read of a woman who deposited $150 in a Connecticut bank and the account was lost sight of and so remained in the bank for fifty years, and at the expiration of that time the principal with the accrude interest only amounted to $850. Think about it. That amount invested in real estate in some western city would be worth a million dollars in that length of time. The bare real estate would rent for not less than $10,000 per year. The savings bank way of getting rich is a beautiful theory, but it does not work out in practice. The Observer of Chinook gives some pointed advice in the way of health when it says, "Don't wear another person's hat or clothes, because the microbes in yours might not agree with those in theirs." There is more truth than poetry in that suggestion, but is it not more than possible that this microbe business is being run into the ground just now? If the physicians have eradicated all of the microbes that they have found that caused death it occurs to us that by this time dying would be a thing of the past and the undertakers' trust would go to pieces for lack of subjects. The Buckley Banner has officially announced the candidacy of Jim McNeeley of that city, who aspires to succeed Stanton Warburton in the national house of representatives. He shows his good sense by starting his candidacy at home, not that it will spread any further, but according to the good book charity always begins at home. "One of the largest potatoes we have ever seen is on exhibition in the drug window and it weighs three pounds and nine ounces," says the Sumner Index. That potato last summer would have brought nearly fifteen cents. It would seem that the Sumner people would stop raising berries, if their lands will grow potatoes that large, and plant it to spuds. --- 3 The journalistic war in southwestern Washington, in which the papers of South Bend and Raymond are taking active parts, up to date has been a bloodless one, but if it rages much longer and as fiercely as it has, it is more than probable that the disputes over State Senator Espee will be settled on the "field of honor." WHAT FOOLS WE MORTALS BE. The editor of one of the popular weekly publications in Tacoma has a strain of Negro blood in his veins, and is so classed. An admirer of the paper, not being personally acquainted with him, was unaware of his classification and was singing the praises of the editor in the highest strains. He, however, was a native of the state of Georgia, and, sooner or later, perchance stumbled on to the fact that the editor was a "nigger," whereupon he denounced him as only a man suffering from an aggravated case of color-phobia can denounce a Negro, who is not a lick spittle. What fools we mortals be. A story is told of a white man in the state of Alabama, when the state was voting on the disfranchisement of the black man, who walked up to a well dressed young black man and asked him to mark his ballot as he could not write. He marked the ticket for the various candidates as he was instructed and then asked how he wanted to vote on the disfranchisement of the Negro, to which he briskly answered, "to keep the niggers from voting, of course, as they have not got sense enough to vote intelligently." What fools we omrtals be. Vocal Music for Prisons. For years the associate editor of The Seattle Republican has in her own quiet way argued that one of the muchly needed reforms in prisons was the introduction of vocal music. "I believe the best vocal instructors that can be had ought to be employed by the state and sent to the state prison or prisons where vocal music should be taught to the prisoners. It should be obligatory on the part of the prisoners to take part in the choruses. The slaver of the South in ante-bellum days discovered that as long as he could keep his slaves singing and cracking jokes with each other they were in a happy frame of mind. The hardest and most effective work was accomplished by them while their voices were ringing with sweet melody, of which the slave seemed by nature unusually gifted. The prisoner is marched from his cell to his work and has nothing to cheer his drooping spirits year in and year out, and as a result, he leaves the prison a complete degenerate, knowing that the world has nothing but curses for him, and he has not a happy thought for all the years he was confined in prison. Nothing so completely revives the whole soul as vocal music and it is true not only of the prisoner, but equally so of the man of the world. Every one should be thoroughly satisfied by now that it is impossible to reform a criminal with scourges, but you can appeal to him through those things that seem to lift, at least for a time, the great burden from his soul. Let each evening one hour be devoted to vocal music and a light-hearted and cheerful prisoner will take the place of the sullen, heart-broken degenerate that looks upon all men as his natural enemies, Persons in the Public Eye James D. Hoge, without making any effort to set the world on fire or to attract unusual attention, who is one of Seattle's foremost business men, has from time to time grown apace with his surrounding. Recently he was elected for the ensuing year president of the Rainier Club, one of the strongest and most democratic social organizations in the Northwest, which demonstrates that he is a man of character and worth in the community. Within the next few days the Hoge building will be completed and the Union Trust & Savings Bank, at the head of which institu tion is Mr. Hoge, will move therein, the same having been erected by James D. Hoge. Though it is declared Seattle will have a forty-two story building, yet for the present the Hoge building is the tallest and most imposing sky-scraper in the Northwest. In the long list of successful business men that Seattle has to her credit none have shown greater ability on the whole than Mr. Hoge. The person of twenty years residence in Seattle remembers how successful James D. Hoge has been in his many undertakings and they well know, while he, perhaps, did not make as much money out of all of his investments as some others did out of theirs, yet he has never lost in any of his investments. When he sold the Post-Intelligencer and cleaned up something like $100,000, he was considered hasty, but he had done well on a small investment and he did not care take any chances on the speculative rise of the property. When his bank moves into its new home it will be the only banking institution in the city wherein the president owns a majority stock in the bank and likewise the mammoth building in which it does business. John D. Rockefeller's pastor is said to be very fond of him, and, it is suspected, there is method in his madness, since John furnishes the sinews of war with which the pastor fights sin and satan, which may be construed to mean, those opposing the Standard Oil trust. John R. Walsh, the aged banker who was recently pardoned by the President of the United States; lived but nine days after being released.

Pigott were seen having luncheon together one day this week, and though the sun was shining brightly when the combination got together, it refused to shine any more during the day. If Senator Wilson ever had two more persistent as well as foul-mouthed political traducers than Chadwick and Piggatt have been, the writer has failed to run across them, and he has heard a good many of S. D. HOGE JAMES D. HOGE them. Had Uncle Jasper seen the quartet enjoying the luncheon together and had known as much about the natures of them all as your Uncle Remus, he would have exclaimed: "Didn't I jest tell you, honey, de sun do move? Scott Calhoun, who had decided to leave the corporation counsel's office, is hesitating and all because an effort is being hatched up to elect a man to the office outside of the present deputies, who makes no bones in saying, "I --- FRIDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1911. mean to make a clean sweep." Mr. Calhoun is absolutely correct in not resigning, unless the men in his office are cared for during the term for which he was elected. Those men made their plans for that length of time, and it would not be fair to them to change them in the middle of the term. If Max Wardall wants Tindall for the place let him get a written guarantee from Tindall that not one of the deputies will be disturbed and then perhaps his man would not be so bitterly opposed. If they try to play such a game as that then Calhoun would not only be justified in not resigning, but even justified in again standing for the nomination and he would find plenty of good warm supporters. Mrs. J. M. Hunsicker has registered a mighty protest against smoking in the jury rooms and asks for separate rooms for male and female jurors, where they are locked up for the night. The court should issue a general order against anyone smoking while in the jury room, whether there be women among the jurors or not, because smoking is just as offensive to some men as to most women. Separate jury rooms are not necessary because it is not supposed that the jurors are going to bed when they are locked up for the night. The jury room should be provided with good soft cushion chairs, should be well ventilated, heated and lighted and together the male and the female jurors should decide such cases as come before them.

He that dig- geth a ditch for his neighbor will himself fall therein, so sayeth the bible. Herman W. Craven, according to political rumor, is to succeed Elmer E. Todd as United States district attorney, if the recom- mendations of Senator Miles Poindexter count for anything. Craven has been more or less in the publie eye in King county for the past fifteen years, and always in the shape of, ‘‘I want some- thing.’’’ In the 1896 campaign he made the fight of his life for the Republican ticket on the promise that he would be nominated for prosecuting attorney by the Re- publicans, but he fell short of the mark on the convention floor. He then became grouchy and sulked in his tent. Finally he was given a deputyship under W. T. Scott, which he held for two years, but when Scott was defeated for re- nomination he lost out. Again Craven got grouchy and bueked the ticket, To make a long story short he has always been a Pro- evessive for the hope of getting a position. We is in line to fall short of the mark at this time and if he does, mark these words, he will support the Democratic nominee for president. Tle is a good talker and an able man, but he is simply office mad. ..Miles Poindexter is hoping to attract publie attention to him by trying to create sufficient public sentiment to foree Goy.

In- stead of extra sessions of the leg- islature if there were till less ses- sions of the legislature, the state would be much better off. With- out trying to be unduly critical Senator Miles Poindexter seems to have less gray matter in his eranium than any man that has evér gone to Congress from the Northwest, and God knows that is not saying very much.

GODDARD Jose and if he keeps at the game get licked, but neither of these misfortunes seem to have over- taken him as yet, the newspaper stories to the contrary notwith- tanding. William H. Murphy, who was a member of the Seattle city coun- cil for many years, who speculat- ed in Seattle dirt and sold Frye- Brhun beef in the north end, has launched out in the. railroad busi- ness and is now president of a pro- posed interurban line between Seattle and Tacoma by the way of Lake Burien. Murphy bought real estate many years ago very cheap and held on to it until it became very valuable and is still holding and with no particular desire to sell it, which rates him among the high finaciers of the city. Real estate in the West makes millionaires out of paupers on very short notices, Albert J. Goddard may not be himself will encourage in the least seeking the Republican nomina- tion for mayor of Seattle, but there is hardly any doubt but that it is diligently seeking him, and it is the first instance in the history of the city that a mayor- alty nomination has sought any one. Councilman Geddard has religiously fought graft in the city and by all rules of economic ethics as well as political consis- tency he should have been elected last spring as one of the three- year term members of the city council, but the grafters combined against him and he only “drew a one-year term, but not daunted by that he continued to run down the grafters until he has made life a burden for many of them, and so successful has he been in bringing the actions of the grafters to the attention of the general public that he is the natural candidate of those voters who are opposed to the city spending thousands of dollars. every year for automo- biles, in which city officials can ride to and from the city hall and gallavant all over the country in the city machines all day Sunday and every night. There is hardly a day or a night but that two or three of the city automobiles are to be found in Tacoma or at Kent, taken there by the joy riders in the employe of the city, and yet there are those in the employ of the city who declare that the city’s automobiles are only used on of- ficial occasions. This municipal joy riding Mr. Goddard has bit- terly opposed and unless we miss our guess it is going to make him mayor of Seattle, providing he 5 Dil WMC SUUME UbuUviVekeoemew has set in for him, Mayor Dilling, politically speaking, may be a “spotted egg,’’ but he has not shown that he in any way looks after the interest of the people ex- cept those people like himself that are able to write a $100,000 check even in these hard times and have the same honored at the bank, and if he is nominated to sueeeed him- self, in all probability George F. Cotterill will sueceed him as mayor. Goddard has always stood for the best interest of the whole people ond for that reason Cot- terill nominated on the Demo- eratie ticket would give Goddard’s advocates and admirers no politi- cal alarm or even concern because he would be overwhelmingly elected. All factions of the Re- publican party would unite on Goddard while only the silk-stock- ing faction would support Dilling. We therefore rise to nominate Al- bert J. Goddard for mayor of Se- attle, George W. Dilling, mayor of Seattle, is eredited with having said. ‘‘IT am a Republican, but I am not for Taft,’? over which the Seattle Daily Times makes a big howl. That is Mr. Dilling’s priv- ilege and we suspect there are others not only in Seattle but all over the country, of a like mind. Dr. B. Clark Hyde, J. B. Me- Namara and Rey. Clarence V. T. Richeson, respectively of Kansas City, Los Angeles and Boston, are the world’s most notable criminals who have occupied the center of life’s stage for the past week. Dr. Hyde is charged with having ad- minsitered poison to his father-in- law for the purpose of bringing about his death tht Dr. Hyde’s wife could become the chief bene- ficiary of his immense wealth. His second: trial has begun, the su- preme court of Missouri having set aside the first. J. B, McNamara is on trial for his life for crimes well known to the public, to which he pleads not guilty, which is per- fectly natural, The jury has not been empaneled and there is no telling when the lawyers will per- mit one to be. Rey. Richeson is the latest to claim publie attention and he is charged with having ad- ministered poison to a young lady who was a chorister in his congre- gation, in order to get rid of her “OLD GERMAN LAGER” aged with “time”— in the old-fashioned way, and that’s why “€s Giebt Hein Ropfweb” The Independent Brewing Co. Panes Vaiduey 75 Seattle : 6 vames A, moore has returnec from the East and says he has succeeded in raising sufficient money to pay off all indebtedness against the Western Steel plant at Trondale, which will enable it tc resume work as it has been doing for the past year or more. He had hoped to raise ten million dollars for the plant, but that seems im- possible just now. Al Rutherford, who has been in the employ of King county since the mind of man runneth not to the eontrary, was credited, one day this week, by an unsophisti- cated foreigner seeking citizen- ship papers, as the man who runs King county, which was his de- seription of the county govern- ment. Judge Frater smiled at the answer and though it showed no understanding of how this gov- ernment is conducted, yet the an- swer was so true to life that he granted the man his right to vote for ‘Al Rootherfoord.”’ Judge Still, who heard the Haz- zard-Williamson. controversy, al- lowed Dr, Hazzard a liberal sum for her care of the Williamson girls and then ordered her to re- fund the balance of the money. Thus far Judge Still acted as a judge should act, but he could not refrain from putting his judi- cial bill into things that were not legally before him and he read Dr. Hazzard a curtain lecture as to her practices. Judges should quit lecturing while sitting as judges and when the opposition is without recourse to reply, owing to court ethies. When judges on the bench decide the points of law before them and cease to moralize on conditions that are not before them, they will no longer be eriti- cised as they now are. “Jack Johnson’s trainer says the black pugilists is all in.’’ It was’ evident from the beginning that fame and prosperity would be*too much for Johnson’? ‘says the Post-Intelligencer. The wish seems to be father to the thought, THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN as Johnson has not traveled at half the pace as did other world’s champions. The reeords will show that Johnson has held his own longer than any other pugilist who has occupied a like position, and it looks as if somebody is holler- ing before getting out of the woods. Ed Sweeney’s Savoy Hotel had a rather strange run of fish one day this week and all to the ad- miration at least of the reading public. An assignment of Gold- fish did not long proceed a load of Perch, and about the same time a choice buneh of Pike was wait- ing for reception. There is al- ways calls for Herring and that delicate fish was not overlooked, though little demand for the Chubb, yet a few got the Hook. “THE THIRD DEGREER.’’ Seanning the list of bookings at the Seattle Theatre thus far this season the unbiased observer easily clings to Charles Klein’s new play of last season, ‘‘The Third Degree’’ as the blue ribbon effort. Nothing has been newly produced this year that looms up as a formidable rival of this great American drama which will be the offering of the Seattle Theatre for a week’s engagement opening with a matinee next Sunday aft- ernoon. Miss Franklin Cale will be seen as Annie Jeffries, while Raymond Whitaker enacts the role of the lawyer, Richard Brew- ster. They will have the advan- tage of an excellent supporting company and fine production sup- plied by the United Play Co., ine. There will be the usual Thursday and Saturday matinee.
