Main 305 427 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, - - - Associate If no more benefit is derived from the breaking up of the steel trust than did from the Standard Oil trust then the people would be money a head if nothing was spent in the courts breaking up the steel trust. Trying to prove Dr. J. Grant Lyman guilty of breaking jail, when he was not in jail, is so ridiculous that the U. S. District attorney, who filed the charge ought himself to be informed against for softening of the brain. "Half truth about Alaska may be a lie," as declares Maurice Leehey, but since he is in league with the Guggenheim coal land grabbers we suspect the whole truth told by them would be a complete volume of lies. Both Turkey and Italy declare they will carry on the war and have no intention of signing an armistice, but will fight it out, if it takes all summer. There must be a shortage of fuel in Hadese and Mars is getting in his winter's wood. That Wicker sham President Taft has for an attorney general seems to be only one of the various shams in the cabinet. Politics must be red hot in Colorado to vote. That woman that got tangled up in the Main of the superior court last week evidently favors the recall of judges. "Somewhere Mr. Taft is speaking," says the New York American, and it might now add, somewhere Mr. Taft is sighing. Uncle Sam couldn't keep hands off and his men of war have been ordered to take a hand in the destruction of Turkey. An Indian surgeon on white men is nothing new, if the frontier stories of bygone days are a hundredth part true, and the Indians on the plains did their work with the same neatness and dispatch as the Indian surgeon that is creating such widespread comment throughout the east at present. If the promoters of the Johnson-Wells fight are absolutely certain that the preachers are personally responsible for the stopping of the mill, why have they not a case of damage against the divines, for they certainly lost a wad of money. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, NOV. 3, 1911. Can Republicans Win? President Taft in his last Chicago speech adroitly admitted that there was a bare possibility of the Republican ticket being defeated next year, but those Republicans present attributed the President's utterances not so much as to his conclusions of the situation after making his remarkable swing around the circles and feeling the public pulse, but to his complete exhaustion. They, however, misinterpreted the public's mind on the situation and President Taft is right in his political prognostication, for he realizes that he is being opposed not only by the Insurgents and Democrats, but the trust magnates have it in for him and the laboring man has no great amount of love for him, hence he seems to stare almost certain defeat in the face. Government Ownership of Utilities. If a recent discussion of the United States supreme court is correctly interpreted it means that, the various state railway commissions will soon be things of the past, and the interstate commerce commission will absolutely control all railway systems. Is this another step toward government ownership of railroads? With the commerce commission saying what the railroads shall charge and the manner they are to be operated, it seems that it would be just as well for the government to take over the ownership of the roads and operate them just as is the postoffice department operated. If many of us did not fear public opinion we would be classed as Socialists. There is no doubt but that thousands of hard-headed business men of the United States would come squarely out for government ownership of all public utilities if not hampered by business relations. There is hardly any doubt but that the sentiment of the country is rapidly drifting in that direction and all because the trusts have taken such aggressive stands in the way of bottling up business. Vocal Music In Prisons. "There is still another reason why I advocate the adoption of vocal music in prisons," said the associate editor hereof. "It would mean that, when the prisoners went out into the world they would seek musical associates and spend their evenings with persons of a different calling than that of the thief and the highwayman. If one developed a splendid musical talent, while practicing in prison, when released such person would be so pleased with the voice he or she possessed that music lovers' company would be sought in order to further develop that talent. While occasionally you find a criminal with a talent of some value, VOLUME XVIII, NUMBER 35. yet, for the most part, the hardened criminal has a talent for nothing save criminology, hence out of prison only criminals are sought and it is only a question of time before such person is again in prison. That class of persons would be repulsive to the ex-convict who had developed into a talented singer while in prison. Is a Change Necessary. Whether the average person of this country is for the continuation of the Republican party in the control of the country, is a serious question just now, and on which they are thinking long and loud. All, however, feel that a change would do the country good, but to change from the Republican to the Democratic party would not be very much of a change, and the prospects of getting a Progressive as President is so remote that it might be considered hopeless. Whether or not unduly favored by the Republican party the trusts have grown strong under its control and it is the consensus of opinion that, the only way to get rid of the trusts is to get rid of the Republican party, but the Democratic party has favored the trusts about as much as the Republicans and it would be like jumping out of the frying pan into the fire to give the Democrats the power instead of the Republicans. President Taft has shown some disposition to hammer the trusts and it may be, if re-elected, he would do even more than he has done. Thanks to Almighty God. William Howard Taft by virtue of his office as President of the United States, has designated Thursday, November 30th, as the National day of Thanksgiving and has asked that everybody in the republic refrain from his or her labors on that day and give thanks to Him, who doeth all things well, for the manifold blessings He has from time to time bestowed upon the Nation. While he did not say so in so many words, yet it is understood that, the President wants the citizens of the United States with one accord to put forth super human efforts to make the destruction of turkey sure and certain. Socialist Storm Brewing. The latest achievement of Socialism is the casting of a majority of the votes in the Los Angeles primary election one day this week. It is hardly possible at the general election later on for the Socialist to elect their candidate mayor of Los Angeles, but it has made rapid headway and will make even greater headway than it has unless the economic conditions of the United States rapidly change for the better. There is so little difference between the Republican and The People's Forum Bv A. G. McBride 2 Democratic parties that the average voter has to decipher with much care as to where the one stops and the other begins, and it is barely possible that even before the next Presidential election the Socialist party will be one of the big parties of the country and be able to elect a number of representatives to Congress as did the Populist party in 1896. Next spring unless we mistake the songs of the times the Socialist part will pull a tremendous vote even in the Seattle municipal contest and may elect a member of the city council. The Trusts Uneasy. Whether for political purposes or because he is at heart averse to trusts deponent verily doeth not know, but there is no doubt of the fact that, President Taft is causing consternation among the trusts of the country and his latest move against them is to put the steel trust on the bum and the trial for the dissolution of the same has already been set. May perhaps the trusts will support Taft for re-election next year, but if they do they will in their opinion be taking the least of two evils in case Woodrow Wilson or Champ Clark is nominated by the Democrats. President Taft, politically speaking is truly between the devil and the deep see as the trusts are bitterly opposing his renomination and election and the working men are doing so even more vigorously than the trusts. The Evils of The Day. One day this week a number of children in a resident community eager to play grown up folk caught a ten-year-old boy and after binding him fast chained him to a post and placed light fagots about him and after saturating them with kerosine applied a match to the fagots at the outer edge. A sufficient amount of kerosine had not been used to cause a quick flame and the wood was burning slowly toward the boy, who was frightened almost out of his wits, as he saw certain death staring him in the face. Those responsible for the piece of fun went scurrying for others to enjoy the feat, but in the meantime an older head came along and released the boy and chastised the kids. Those kids were evidently trying to do what they had either heard or seen in the Klansman, one of the vilest and most damnable plays ever put on the American stage, which has been running at a cheap play house in the city for the past week, at ten and twenty cents popular prices. Just as those children were moved over the burning of a human being so are older heads, when they think their patience have been sufficiently imposed upon. The lynching and mob spirit so common to the United States is producing a race of outlaws that sooner or later will plunge the whole country into one of the bloodiest wars known to modern history, as the desire for human gore will not be appeased with that of some defenseless outcast, but will be taken to the homes of their own brethren. Everyone that is supporting La Follette for President is not crazy, but there is one thing certain all of the political crazies of the country are in line for Fighting Bob. Mutt and Jeff are to explode before the Commercial Club next Monday evening. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Many of the theatres and churches have barred the women's hats and cities have legislated against them, but somehow the right or wrong of the matter was never brought right close to my personal interests until last Monday. It was this way. I went to hear Gipsy Smith, and to get a good view, selected a chair some seven or eight seats from the aisle, all of which were soon filled up. Presently an aged man started from where he was sitting down the row in front of me for the purpose of taking a seat a few chairs past where I was. He had to get past several fat women and sure the man was laboring hard. In getting past me, he spoiled an elegant nickle shine that was put on my shoes for the occasion and partly loosened the knee cap on my right leg. How the other six or seven people fared I don't know, as swearing and loud talk were not permitted. Well, the man finally landed in a seat and upon investigation it became known that the man changed his seat because a woman with a large hat, and still larger plupes, sat squarely in front of him and shut out all view. From this time on my vote is ferninst the big hat in church. John Larson, the juror, who smiled on Regna Abramson, and talked with her while a juror in the Pryor case, and who served six hours in jail and had his pay declared forfeited, has been restored to favor and Judge Gay took everything back except the six hours' imprisonment. Poor Pryor, he couldn't get off that easy. I think the judge did right, for really, Larson and the judge both thought Pryor guilty and both wanted to see him convicted and John shared the judge's opinion when he said he was ashamed of the verdict of the jury, which was not guilty. When two minds so nearly run in the same channel as that of Larson and the judge, it was right and proper to restore John to the favor of his honor and the county treasury. "Oh, there is something in that voice that reaches the innermost recesses of my spirit."—Longfellow. Those who have heard Gipsy Smith will never forget his voice, which is no doubt the mightiest of his powers. It is simply indescribible and can only be compared with that of the Alaska Siwash or Eskimo, whose low, sweetness of tone once heard, will never be forgotten. All great revivalists have been noted for sweetness of voice. John Wesley, at seventy years of age, had a remarkable voice, and could also be plainly heard a great distance. Then, Gipsy Smith is magnetic, but of even greater merit is his sincerity and earnestness. When you hear him, you believe in him. The world is too big, or there are too few Gipsy Smiths. One man like Gipsy Smith, and I understand he is the only one of his class, isn't enough. President Taft is flying a danger signal and has given notice to the Republicans that the optimists may not have things their own way. Democratic success at the coming election may not be desirable, but come it will, unless the stalwarts and insurgents agree upon some man for President. The chief executive has had his ear close to the ground and now, after more than fourteen thousand miles travel over the country, making hundreds of speeches and getting in touch with the sentiment of the voters, he evidently sees defeat before him. It isn't difficult to diagnose the case. Taft is a great big, honest, good-natured man, but knows less politics than anybody. His three vetoes, including the wool schedule, are enough to defeat any candidate, and more than enough to beat him as matters now stand. Sentiment may change in the President's favor within the next six months, but if it don't, Taft had better get out of the way of the steam roller. An insurgent Republican president would be better than a Democrat, but the standpat leaders will probably not admit it. It may be necessary to call out Teddy. Who knows? I was told a few days ago that Judge Ronald would be transferred to the criminal department on the 15th of this month. It is rumored that Judge Main is anxious to get back into the civil department, and will make way for the exchange. I regret to say I never defended before Judge Ronald—I was on the other side, but a fairer judge for both sides I do not believe ever lived. I never prosecuted before Judge Gilliam in a criminal case, I happened to be on the other side in his court, but when it comes to being fair to the state and defense alike, I can say of him as I said of Judge Ronald. I don't wish either of these men a short life, but I do hope they will pass on before I do, for when I see their portraits on the court room walls, I want to put a superscription on the frames which will say: "No man charged with crime was deprived of a fair trial by this man." The Gipsy Smith revival has given a large number of Seattle people a line on some of the local ministers, for one of them delivers a short address at the regular noonday gathering. A great many people attend their own church only, while many more attend no church at all, and the kind of stuff the local preachers are made of is known to but few people. A newcomer delivered a short address last Tuesday. I don't remember his name, but Seattle and his church ought to be proud of him. His talk seemed to astonish the Gipsy himself, and on Wednesday Dr. Van Horn was there with a most excellent twenty-minute sermon. If these two men are a fair sample of Seattle preachers, I am willing to back the whole outfit in a world's championship contest. Some advanced "thinking" woman has solved the mixed jury problem by suggesting that the juries be composed of either all men or all women. Isn't it funny? The Brighton Beach postoffice went out of business last Tuesday evening and free delivery was inaugurated on Wednesday morning in that territory. The unexpected has happened. The Gipsy FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1911 Country Press and Comment ```markdown ``` SCOTT CALHOUN. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1911: Smith revival has failed to restore the friendship between Col. Blethen and Doctor Matthews. I am asked to comment on Dr. Matthew's new hat which I postively decline to do. Prompted only by the purest motives, I have from time to time offered our militant Sheriff what I consider good advice, and I was led to believe that our "Bob" was moved to a condition of gentleness thereby, but alas, his fierceness has returned and universal peace is again endangered. And would you believe it? All this loud talk of Bob's with Laf. Hamilton at the court house Wednesday was about what? Why, just about potatoes. Whether our "Bob" should feed the prisoners on county potatoes, eat nothing, or buy potatoes in the open market at $27.00 a ton. Now Bob, honest, YOU, a great big, honest, big-brained man as you are, ought to be ashamed of yourself. If you can't behave yourself and keep out of these little quarrels, you better let Stringer of Liner run the office. JUDGE MILLER POINTS OUT THE LYNCHERS. The October term of the Pike county circuit court convened at Magnolia, Miss., Monday, October 16, and according to a special to the New Orleans Item, Judge D. M. Miller, of Hazelhurst, who was presiding, gave the county grand jury some pretty clear points as to their duty. "The most sensational part of Judge Miller's charge," says the special, "was that devoted to the practice of unlawful relations as it exists between Whites and Blacks. First pausing to request all women to leave the court room, Judge Miller proceeded to severely castigate those white men who are guilty of this offense against the very bedrock of society. He declared these were the men who were always first to lynch a Negro for an attack on a white woman when very possibly their conduct was an incentive to the Negro to commit outrageous crimes. He urged the grand jury to lay aside all sentiment or feeling of friendship and find indictment against men who were notoriously guilty of this crime." Now this is clear enough for anybody to understand. Judge Miller's action is something for everybody to remember. He pointed out to the grand jury "crimes" that were notorious, crimes that incited other crimes in which the Negro was always in the end the sufferer. Judge Miller was simply telling the truth when he said that white men who kept illicit relations with Colored women were always the first to form a mob to lynch a Negro accused of assault on white women. What a shame it is that such a charge against the white mobs is true, true in every sense! A white judge, speaking to a white grand jury about white men and the low, debasing lives they live at a time when everything ugly is said against the Black-skinned people in the South under almost every circumstances, is something refreshing indeed. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Sumas News is of the opinion that some of the political prophecies made by the P.-I. will be amusing reading in 1913. The same is true of any other paper. "Gov. Hay should ignore the cry for an extra session," says the Winona News, and to which, we say, amen. "Faith In The Future," is the caption of a lengthy editorial in the Poulsbo Herald, which paints the future in more or less rosiate lines. We always had faith in the future and if the court knows itself, and it thinks it does, that's about all we have ever gotten. It is learned from the capital of Ellensburg that the Northern Pacific is preparing to use oil in its engines between Ellensburg and the Sound, and that too owning one of the most extensive coal mining properties in the Northwest, which mines were recently closed down and hundreds of men turned out of employment, in order to keep the price of coal at $8 per ton. "The Anti-Saloon League is going into court to contest the decision of the auditor of King County against calling a special election next month on the question of county local option," says the Kent Advertiser. It went into court as predicted, and now it wishes it had not. "Italy is anxious to have its Turkey done brown," facetiously remarks the Monitor-Transcript of Monroe. It strikes us the United States of America is in the same frame of mind just now. That report that the State Capital Record says has leaked out, to the effect, a number of men with money, residents of Seattle, are seeking to purchase the Post-Inteiligencer from Senator Wilson and put Eratus Brainard in charge, is the worst pipe dream that has come down the pike for a good many moons. First of all Senator Wilson has no desire in the world to sell the paper, and secondly, there is no one in Seattle that would put the amount of money it would take to purchase it even at a reasonable figure into a proposition like it just now. Another story has leaked out to an Olym- pia paper, and it is to the effect that, "Olympia is the best, and, apparently, one of the most prosperous cities in the whole state. "This was whispered into the ear of the Independent not long since by a man whose name it withheld. There are no prosperous cities in the Northwest, just now, and when some fellow tells you there is he is simply talking through his hat for a hand out. If the Seattle Automobile Club rents the 42nd story of the Smith building, when it will have been completed, the Auburn Republican says: "They will be the most 'stuck up people' in this part of the world, and the Lord knows they are haughty enough already." And if they do we will bet our interest in the G. N. they will petition the city council to build them an elevated road to the top so that they may ride to their club rooms without getting out of their machines. In commenting on an allegation of Woodrow Wilson to the effect, "that everything in history that has happened, happened because a few men kicked." the Friday Harbor Journal declared, "a good many things are going to happen in the near future, judging from the amount of kicking now going on." There is one thing certain, a good many things ought to happen in the way of managing public affairs, and something will happen unless things do happen. We are going to give the Oracle of Orting credit for the following story, but it is too good to be true: Missourians are funny people. Last week a lad came into Orting from the country and seeing a young lady playing a piano, ran to his brother, saying: "Oh, Bill, come and see this girl. She is knocking regular thunder out of a bureau." Two state senators were boasting of their qualifications one day at Jefferson City, Mo. One said, "I am a minister;" the other said, "I am a lawyer, and I'll bet you $10 you don't know the Lord's prayer." The money went up, and the Missouri clergyman began, "Now I lay me down to sleep, etc." "It is your money," said the lawyer. "I did not believe you knew it. I have not heard it all before in twenty years." 3 [Name] Persons in the Public Eye 4 Judge John F. Main of the superior court of King County went through the unpleasant ordeal of being horse whipped one day last week, and that too by a modest and unassuming little woman, who believed she had been grossly imposed upon by the court. Judge Main is to our mind one of the most conscientious judges in the whole country and under no circumstances would he knowingly do a fellow man a wrong. It, however, is the concensus of opinion that both Judges Albertson and Main made mistakes in permitting Mrs. Olson's case to go to a jury, inasmuch as they were well aware of what the law as to that case was. There is no doubt, however, but that the jury decided in favor of the Olsons purely from a sentimental standpoint, but the presiding judge had told them, "you are the sole judges in the case," and turned it over to them for a verdict and they did as they saw fit. After they had found a verdict for the Olsons it was a rather late date to then apply the law to the case and to set the verdict aside on law points. It is safe to say that it would be hard to get a jury that would decide the case any differently than what the two juries that have already heard it did decide it. A few weeks ago some superior court judge granted a new trial to some one, who had been convicted of crime, on the grounds of an insufficiency of the evidence. We do not intend to take issue with the court as to the grounds of the evidence being insufficient on which a conviction was had, but the judge knew that, before the case went to the jury, and it was his duty to inquire of the prosecuting attorney, if he had any more evidence to offer, and if he had not, a motion to dismiss should have been entertained by the court. To permit a case to go to the jury and then weeks thereafter set the verdict aside on such a plea seems to show a disposition to shift the responsibility. That Mrs. Olson is guilty of assault in the third degree, with which she has been charged and will go on trial tomorrow, goes without saying, and neither a jury or a judge could find to the contrary, and some punishment should be meeted out to her that others may not so lose their heads as to commit a similar outrage. So far as her husband is concerned he is deserving of as severe punishment as the law can inflict, for his threats against the judge. This is a country of law and order and the people will right all wrongs in the course of human events, and if they do not, they do not need some foreigner to come here to threatened to shoot the judges because they object to being publicly horse whipped, and in that way rectify wrongs. Summing all of this ugly judicial embroligio up, nothing has happened within the year that has given the demand for the recall of judges a greater impetus than these Olsons' experience with the courts. These poor people had been robbed by the acknowledged agent of the Sylvesters, they had been hauled into court, forced to pay attorney fees, and despite their handicaps had won the case, which was promptly set aside and the costs taxed up to them; they were given a similar dose in another court with the same results, and it is now argued that it is im- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN e Public Eye possible to get a square deal in the courts, and it will be ever thus until the judges stand in fear of being recalled. This and similar cases where technical law is made to play a part in the trial of a case makes one conclude, that in the United States there is altogether too much technical law and not enough common sense law practiced. "I like Judge Gay's court," said a deputy sheriff one day this week, "and because he goes after things from a common sense standpoint, and he administers punishment along the same line." Trying to get a dirty criminal off because some technical law point was over looked by the prosecuting attorney in drawing his complaint may be all right for the defending attorney, from a dollars and cents standpoint, but it is an imposition on the citizenship of the country, and is a public disgrace. Recall of Judges. In an editorial note Pearson's Magazine for September has this to say of the courts: "It may be put down as a fact that the majority of the people is not satisfied with the brand of justice that our courts are handing ```markdown ``` JOHN F. MAIN. out. The majority understands only the results of decisions. And with the results from the greater part of the people are dissatisfied. They are particularly dissatisfied with those decisions which have annulled the people's will. That's just what the courts do. The people, by constitutional right, assemble and make the laws which they want. The courts, if they please, without constitutional right, destroy those laws. The constitution which the judges in their decision appear to hold sacred does not give the judges the right to kill legislation. They are simply taking the right. Holding the constitution as a sacred and inviolate instrument when it concerns other people—and some folks think stretching a point when it concerns a few people—they forget that it does not give them the right to do some of the things they do. How about that; The courts must be the bulwark of the nation, and not the "bulwark of privilege," as they have been called. They cannot be the nation's mainstay when their decisions on public matters displease the great mass of the people. And when some of those decisions are based on an usurped power you must begin to think about it. George A. Lee, chairman of the liability FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1911 FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 3, 1911. insurance commission of the state of Washington, according to political rumor, is liable to be named as the successor to the late Harry A. Fairchild, chairman of the utilities commission. Mr. Lee is looked upon as a pretty level headed young man and conscientious of his duty to a fault. He doubtless, in the very outset, will not do as well as would have Harold Preston, yet it is not doubted that sooner or later he will develop into one of the ablest public servants now in public life. For the most part George A. Lee seems endowed with a splendid supply of good hard horse sense, which he uses generally to the best advantage. Gov. Hay may not make many votes for his gubernatorial contest in naming Lee, but he certainly will be doing the state quite a business turn. Joseph Pulitzer, who was, perhaps, one of the world's greatest and most liberal minded journalists, died of heart disease last Sunday and was buried last Wednesday. He was the father of the New York World, and in launching it, he pledged its columns to fair play and equal justice, and it never wandered very far from the path while he lived. He set the pace of honest journalism and it is to be regretted that the leading papers all over the country, who boast of their multiplied thousands of subscribers, do not follow in his wake. Great metropolitan daily newspapers instead of being public educators are for the most part personal organs to help the chief stockholder, the editor or the trusts to get the advantage of the other fellow. Scott Calhoun, who for the past eleven years has been corporation counsel of Seattle, has tendered his resignation to take effect as soon as the city council sees fit to elect his successor. What Reginald H. Thomson has been to the engineering department of Seattle Scott Calhoun has been to the legal department and the two have worked in perfect harmony, and as a result, the city government has been run without friction and the foundations for one of the greatest cities in the world has been laid by these two men. Mr. Calhoun has formed a law partnership with Walter S. Fulton, for two years prosecuting attorney of King County, and subsequently one of the most successful practitioners in Seattle. The firm will have charge of the legal duties of the port commission of Seattle in connection with Mr. Fulton's extensive private practice. Phillip Tindal, who for the past seven years has been a resident of Seattle, hailing from Washington, D. C., where his father is connected with the legal department of the capital city, is a candidate to succeed Mr. Calhoun as corporation counsel, but whether or not the council sees fit to name him, he will be a candidate for the nomination next spring and he feels that he has sufficient local encouragement to make a most vigorous campaign. In commenting upon the article in The Seattle Republican last Saturday, Mr. Tindall said, "I have no intention, in case I am elected as Mr. Calhoun's successor, to make any radical changes in the office as it now stands. I believe those deputies have a right to re- main in the office until the term for which their superior was elected expires, and each one of them will be at liberty to support some other candidate for the office, if he so desires, and will get no summary removal from office at my hands." H. L. Kegley, president of the state grange, an organization among the farmers of the state, and with a large as well as growing membership, has decided to give up farming, at which he has been unusually successful, and devote his entire time to battling for the good of the order in particular and the farmer in general. The state grange has become an important element in the politics of the state and threatens to become even more active than it has been in the past. The farmer in the past has, using the street vernacular, been altogether "too easy" and has left the affairs of state entirely too much to the real estate shark and the political trickster, who have put laws on the statute books in the interest of the trusts and corporations, knowing full well it would do them no harm as they had nothing or expected to leave the state as soon as they got a piece of money, and he is plunging into the political game none too soon. He may pass laws, which from a technical standpoint will be declared unconstitutional, but with the recall of judges on the statute books the judge will hesitate before declaring a common sense law unconstitutional when he knows he may be recalled for the decision. Chester Thompson, the demented son of Will H. Thompson, who was tried for the murder of Judge Meade Emery and acquitted on the grounds of being demented, but confined in the insane ward of the state penitentiary, subsequently released as being cured, has been returned to the insane ward of the asylum, his father surrendering him as an incurable. It was a mistake to have permitted Thompson to leave the asylum and it is well that he has been returned that he will no longer annoy the community, and if physically able he should be put at light work where his mind will be completely wenaed from the hope of marrying one of the Whitley girls. Five or ten years in the asylum with more or less pleasant environments will do much toward strengthen his now thoroughly shattered mind. Charles H. Frye, one of Seattle's leading business men, who has made a fortune out of the packing business, has gone east and will be absent for some weeks. Before leaving he discussed the subject of a candidate for mayor and said: "Seattle has had all of the Dilling idea she wants and the citizens of the city who desire to see the town grow and grow without ceasing should get together and put a man before the public that would be of some benefit to the city and the community. As objectional as is George F. Cotterill to the business interest of the city, yet I am fully convinced that, if Dilling is nominated by the Republicans and Cotterill by the Democrats, Cotterill will beat Dilling by an overwhelming majority. While the time is drawing close yet their is still plenty of time for the public mind to crystalize on some good active business man and then elect him with a whoop." Homer M. Hill, secretary of the Tax Payers' League, who went east to make extensive study of the tax levy in the various cities, has returned and will in the near future have something to say of much importance to taxpayers and for the benefit of the general public. Mr. Hill has become quite an expert in the matter of taxation. Joe Bianchi, the city detective who killed Frank Harris, a sneak thief, because he did not stop when commanded, has been informed against by the prosecuting attorney and he will have to stand trial for manslaughter. It is said of the detective that he is almost heart-broken over the killing of the man, but he lost control of himself and shot hastily. If that be true then the best thing that Joe can do is to give up his gun, if he continues on the force, but he should not be continued on the force. John Cort and John W. Considine, both Seattle theatrical magnates, are now in New York looking after the interests of their respective circuits and it is the consensus of opinion that Seattle is in line for some of the best plays that have visited the city in a number of years. Lyman Smith may be dead, but his forty-two story building in Seattle is going on just the same, and nothing so clearly proves that it is going on than the fact that the little buildings on the site where it is to be erected are being town down and actual construction on the skyscraper will begin in a few days more. Theodore Haller, one of Seattle's big property holder, does not take any stock in Virgil Bogue's civic center proposition and he makes no bones in saying, "when it is up for action I will fight it to the last ditch." It begins to look, when such men as Haller come out against the proposition that it will have hard sleding. The daily press has already begun to try to educate the public into the idea, but the public mind is not educatable in that direction. Taxes are already far too high and to establish that so-called civic center would simply mean the piling up of twenty or thirty million dollars additional taxes on the people, and they just will not stand for it. Herbert E. Snook, who for many years did local politics in connection with his law offices, but in latter years has simply been getting the money, has been moved against by John C. Higgins for disbarment, on the ground that he did not tote fair with a client. It is the exception and not the rule where attorneys openly rob their clients as Snook is charged with having done, but there must be some attorneys with the getrich-quick idea the same as some real estate men. Nothing is more appropriate than a hospital for the University of Washington owing to the bludgeon sports practiced among the students. ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE.
