Main 305 427 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, - - - Associate COMMENT Cheap meat is a thing of the past and in the life time of the present generation never again will meat be cheap enough for it to be used without becoming a family burden, is the opinion of the members of the National Live Stock Association, and this condition will be due to the supply and demand rather than the actions of the trusts. The great rush to the cities at the expense of the farm is largely responsible for this state of affairs. Another cause for the scarcity of meat lies in the fact that a majority of those living in the rural and suburban districts do not raise meat enough for home consumption and are as much dependent on the stockyards for meats as the family living on a thirty-foot lot in some metropolitan city. Every person living out off city limits should raise at least a couple of pigs and a calf for meat use, and that done the situation would be greatly relieved. Forty Percent of the convictions in the superior court of King county are for crimes against nature or are of a carnal nature," says Judge Wilson R. Gay, one of the criminal judges of the court. Almost 99 per cent of the population of King county, in racial distinction claim to be white and with a family pedigree reaching into the very heart of Europe. Now if these highly civilized white Christian men and women are guilty of such loathsome crimes what could be expected of a less fortunate race. America seems to breed sexual perverts and the disease is on the increase. The drink evil arising from the treat habit may be dragging a large per cent of the men and women down to ruin, but it is nothing in comparison to the sexual crimes. A Million Dollars, perhaps, have been expended by the U. S. government prosecuting the trusts of the country and yet for every one that has been bursted, at least ten new ones have been born and with a ten-fold increase of capital. Either the money kings of the country know they control courts and will be able to worry out the prosecutors of trusts or they have been given the tip that the efforts of the govenrment to burst the trusts is only a bluff and in the end they will be permitted to go scott free. Speaking about bursting the trusts reminds the writer that the attorney for the notorious beef trust has recently caused to be mailed a copy of his statement of facts in presenting the side SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DEC. 29, 1911. of the trusts to the court. This report was read with care and if there is a way to do so the attorney like the chief criminals ought to be sent to prison for life, the trust for restraining trade and the attorney for aiding and abetting. EDITORIAL Marse Henry must have eaten another one of his famous bates before writing, "If Roosevelt ever gets back into the White House he will have to be taken out dead." If a majority of the people of this country so will it then so promote it be. Roosevelt and no one else will go no further than the people will have them. The very idea of Teddy Roosevelt attending a peace conference is preposterous. Roosevelt is a fighter and he himself has said, "If it's fight they want, I'll whip them to a frazzle." Taft and Teddy dining together would not be instrumental in doing much peace promoting. "In time of peace prepare for war," says an adage, and Russia is doing that very thing by gobbling up Persia and a part of China while the dove of peace undisturbed coos peace, perfect peace, henceforth and forever. It was entirely too much for the business men's committee to expect Chilberg to surrender the city funds, out of which he makes so much by accommodating the city with occasional small loans, for an insignificant office. Now that the editorial push of the Times has been permitted to go scott free, does the same hidden hand purpose to have Wappenstein pardoned? If Blethen is to go free there is no justice in sending Wappenstein to prison. It's to cost a Vanderbilt $40,000 a year to live higher than any one else in New York. There is no comment on this Vanderbilt idiosyncracy, but you can very consistently soliloquize, "A damphool and his money soon part." China's world-famous empire is to give way to a republic and the whole royal family is to abdicate. What a pity the spirit of abdication while it is on duty does not visit Europe, and especially Italy, Russia and England. If Colonel Blethen's University chimes will only ring loud enough to drown the sounds of the wailing washer women who deposited in the Blethen bank, it will prove the thing desired. It's an easy matter to condemn a chaffeur for not stopping when he accidentally runs over a human being, but it is human natuer to get away if there is danger in stopping. VOLUME XVIII, NUMBER 43. If J. Pierpont Morgan and John D. Rockefeller have been of any service to the world, save to show how money mad a human being can become, it is more than an angel from heaven can decipher. If Hillman's former attorneys are to be believed his present attorneys will be the the only attorneys he has had that will be the attorneys in fact, and all because Hillman will not be permitted to be at the trial. It may be a fact as alleges the P.-I., that George F. Cotterill is a pessimist, but his opposition to the Bogue civic plans will almost make him mayor of Seattle, the P.-I. to the contrary notwithstanding. Do not fail to swear off tomorrow, Saturday, and then perhaps you will be able to last until next Tuesday, as Sunday the tanks will all be closed and you may not feel well enough to come to town Monday. A certain religious sect argues that this is the milennium dawn. Do they arrive at this conclusion on the old theory, that the darkest hour of the night is just before the dawn? Shopping late may have been responsible for an unusual number of insanity patients at the county court house the past week. Is this a score for the daily papers' shop early? That business men's committee is reported ready to disband and permit the mayoralty nomination to go to the dimnation bow wows, if it so desires. Mayor Dilling has ordered the streets labeled and we suspect he is out looking for a nomination and thinks there is danger of him getting lost. When La Follette and Poindexter opened war on Taft in Ohio the "Colonel" must have thought, "fools rush in where angels dare not tread." With Gov. Hay butting into the politics of Seattle the coming municipal mix-up promises to be even more partisan than in former years. Russia would like to supply y for u in W. Morgan Schuster's name and then print his new name all over him and start him for America. "Society," as appears in the Sunday dailies is more responsible for the crimes of the times than any other factor in human associations. The Seattle Republican refrains from reviewing its history for the past year because it was too prosperous to be made public property. New year's resolution in this part of the moral vineyard for the most will consist in "keeping the wolf from the door." Socialism seems to be growing all over the country except in Los Angeles. 2 BORROWED THOUGHTS The Socialists will now write it Lost Angeles.—Kansas City Times.

The theories advanced by the Dawn of Ellensburg on, Why Democrats Won in Arizona, sound good and may be all true, but the chief reason for the Democrats' winning in Arizona lies in the fact that, there were more Democratic disciples there than Republicans. South Bend must, after all, be a "mighty" good town when both the Pilot and the Journal of that city can get the wherewithal to turn out such magnificent Christmas numbers as they did a few days ago. If the businessmen of every city would show the proper spirit the publishers of weeklies in their respective cities would be able to annually send out magnificent Christams numbers which would be a credit to and an advertisement of the town. The News of Winona argues that one of the most prominent lessons that have been learned is, "the people are done with boss rule." So ar as the plug hat political boss is concerned you are quite right, but how about the daily newspaper as a boss? Do you realize that the three big Republican daily papers of the state of Washington are the absolute bosses of the politics of the state just now, and that they are Johnny on the job? That dollar mark which the Big Bend Empire used as an initial for one of the gubernatorial aspirants may have been a typographical error, but it certainly starts the candidate out right to put up a good stiff fight. The editor of the Journal of South Bend admits over his own signature that, he is not possessed of a "magic wand." Now, that must account for Hazy losing the last election in that city. Had he been as frank prior to that election as he now confesses, perhaps the "drys" would have hunted for another Moses. If Raymond does not forge to the front and soon become the foremost city of southwest Washington it will not be for a lack of push and pluck on the part of the Herald of that city. The last issue looked almost like a great metropolitan daily and it was only one of many that it sends out. If the business men of Raymond will only help a little bit the Herald will do the rest. Washington Editorial Association must feel thoroughly ashamed of the work it accomplished at its last session in comparison to the work accomplished by Washington Teachers' Association just closed at North Yakima. The editors met in Hoquiam and every minute's stay in the Gray's Harbor country was a farce comedy, and during the three days' visit the editors only assembled long enough to hear two political speeches from aspiring politicians. On the other hand the Teachers' Association held interesting sessions and did things for their cause. Their persistency in advocating a service pension for teachers of thirty years' continuous serv- Friday, December 29, 1911. ice has moved the state's leading daily paper to endorse the move, which almost assures its passage. They did even more than that, they established a code of ethics among teachers that will stop the cut-throat business practiced in order to get a certain school. Teachers in the past may have appeared to have had a very poor eye for business, but a great change has come over them. It is an undeniable fact that the publishers of weekly papers in this state are the poorest paid public servants of all and simply because they are the most gullible. In King county it is a fact that six inch legal notices are run for seven weeks by many of the publishers for the munificent sum of two dollars, and if a rebellious editor objects to working for such prices the attorney pulls the rate card of a half dozen other publishers ready and willing to take it for that price. Politicians' press agents work the publishers for publicity, for which the press agent gets good pay and the publisher gets, "he's a jolly good fellow" and a hungry belly. Let the publishers of King county stand together and let the publishers all over the state do likewise and then the publishing business will be an independent instead of a dependent one. What with Congress at Washington and Shuster at Teheran, Russia, Russia is likely to have her entire attention fixt upon American affairs beofre very long.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. If this espionage craze keeps up the case will be very simple. All the Englishmen will be in German prisons and all the Germans in English prisons, and we shall have peace.—Springfield Republican. The Seattle Republican will publish your legal notices and save you worry. Phone Main 305. Office, 423 Epler Block. In trying to have teachers pensioned it's another move in the direction of "anything to get the money." Happy New Year. That's all. Tommy came out of a rom in which his father was tacking down carpet. He was crying lustily. "Why, Tommy, what's the matter?" asked his mother. "P-p-p-papa hit his finger with the hammer," sobbed Tommy. "Well, you needn't cry at a thing like that," comforted the mother. "Why didn't you laugh?" "I did," sobbed Tommy, disconsolate. ALBERT HANSEN JEWELER @ SILVERMITH Established 1883 FIRST AND CHERRY Friday, December 29, 1911. PERSONS IN PUBLIC EYE. H. W. Caldwell, of the prosecuting attorney's office, has filed for the nomination of corporation counsel and, if Prosecuting Attorney Murphy is correctly quoted he did so for revenge pure and simple. Bradford bumped into the fight for prosecuting attorney and Murphy takes this opportunity of punishing him for encroaching upon his political dunghill. That's a dangerous proceeding, Mr. Murphy, and you had better beware. Bradford has the precedent of the office, Tindall has an active press agent and Hammonds has something of an organization, but there seems to be room for others to enter the fight. Governor Hay's state house ring is getting things lined up in pretty good shape now and the manipulators thereof feel that not a single cog will be jumped when election day comes around. John C. Lawren's press agent is still sending out dope, but is using more discretion than in the outset to whom the stuff is sent. Only one of the weekly papers of King county published the "stuff"' and that was a mistake, the editor being away when it was done. The weekly press of King does not propose to be imposed upon next year by politicians' press agents. Scott Calhoun would like to be mayor of Seattle, and his banker friends would like to make him mayor, but his candidacy did not meet with the approval of the daily paper bosses and so Scott had to ring his backing bells. Joseph Smith may be of sound mind, but his political wablings from time to time would not indicate as much. Recently he has suggested himself for mayor of Seattle, and when a shout of approval went up from the lusty throats of the political nuisances of the Disgruntled Club, he imagined the whole world was crying for him. Otto A. Case says he is going to resign from the office of auditor of King county, in April, and at once begin an active campaign for the gubernatorial nomination. If he does as he says he will be as big a fool as was Thompson's colt, which swam a river to get a drink, for he will not only lose nine months' salary, but whatever amount he expends for traveling purposes and for campaign slush. Case and Hodge are considered the political jesters of Washington. Alden Joseph Blethen has given to the University of Washington a clock with chimes that will be heard ten miles, and it is to cost $10,000. If a hundredth part of what has been said about Col. Blethen be true, he got his money easy and in sufficient quantities to be able to give that amount and not feel it. The late King county grand jury piled up four indictments against him along the easy money getting line and the foreman of that jury in spite of the fact he went to trial on one of the charges, and the trial judge ordered the trial jury to return a not guilty verdict, insists, that there was sufficient evidence to send Col. Blethen to prison for life, had the prosecuting attorney used the evidence the grand jury had col- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN lected. This gift to the University may mean that the Colonel is thoroughly repentant and will try to blow back, but do so in a way that he can brag about it in his newspaper. It is, however, plain to be seen that it is conscience money. [Name] KENNETH MACINTOSH. In view of the fact that Kenneth Macintosh has been and is one of the foremost advocates of the Bogue Civic Center plans for Seattle, this paper suggests his name to the Business Men's Cmmittee as a suitable candidate for mayor. He is well and favorably known to the citizens of this city and is one of the heavy property holders as well as taxpayers of this city. If he should be placed in nomination it would put the Civic Center plans squarely before the voters and it would be the issue. Should he be one of the successful two and subsequently elected mayor, it might prove a stepping stone for him to a higher political ambition, which, it is said, he encourages. Charles W. Morse, doing time or robbing persons who hid their earnings in his bank for a rainy day, wept bitterly on learning Christmas morning that President Taft refused to sign his release from prison. He who laughs last laughs best, runs an adage, but it is doubted, if Mr. Morse agrees with the truism. The depositors of his bank, however, do not doubt its veracity, for Morse laughed all over his face as he relieved them of their money, but they laugh all over themselves now as he languishes in prison. It may not get them back their cash, but it's a source of everlasting satisfaction to them to know he is being punished for the crime and that not even his pretended pallor of death moves President Taft to giving him his liberty. It is terrible to think of a millionaire being in prison, but they sometimes get caught and this is one of the times. It is reported that he took the reverse so hard that he is now in a dying condition. Scott Calhoun was selected by a number of bankers to run for mayor of Seattle, but he wisely declined. Thomas A. Parrish has been selected by Gov. Hay and his daily newspaper supporters to run for the same job, and he is making a fight for it. Hyram 3 Charles Gill has been selected by a lot of his old-time claquers to stand for the nomination of mayor, and he is foolish enough to fall for it. In neither case will the supporters of the mayoralty aspirants amount to ten per cent of the whole vote, and in neither case is the general good of the city being looked out for, but selfish interests are being served. It's a case with each clique of how much can we make out of the proposition? J. E. Chilberg wanted to be mayor, but was informed by his attorney that he could not do so and still hold the city's money, and it took him but a minute to decide he would not be mayor. His bank buys city bonds that draw 7 per cent interest and he pays for those bonds with city deposits, for the use of which the bank pays the city 2 per cent. It is plain to be seen why Mr. Chilberg did not want to be mayor. Edward C. Cheasty, who, after he had been removed from the park board of Seattle and subsequently viciously attacked by the Seattle Daily Times and not defended by the Post-Intelligencer, from which paper he had reasons to expect better treatment, declared he would never again enter public life, has changed his mind and has again accepted a position on the board. While he gives out the statement that he is fond of the work, and it is not doubted, but to a man up a tree it looks like sweet revenge. Mayor Gill made a political ass of himself when he removed Mr. Cheasty, for he not only had not meddled in the political game, but he was an ideal member of the board, and Mayor Dilling has shown good sense by re-appointing him. MURPHY'S MAIL A freckle-faced girl stopped at the postoffice and yelled out: "Anything for the Murphys?" "No, there is not," said the postmaster. "Anything for Jane Murphy?" “Anything for Ann Murphy?” “No.” “Anything for Tom Murphy?” “Anything for Bob Murphy?” “Not a bit.” “Anything for Jerry Murphy?” “Nothing at all.” “Anything for Lize Murphy?” "No, nor Pat Murphy, nor Dennis Murphy., nor for Pete Murphy, nor Paul Murphy, nor John, Jack or Jim Murphy, nor any Murphy, dead, living, unborn, native or foreign, civilized, savage or barbarous, male or female, black or white, franchised or disfranchised, natural or otherwise. No! there is absolutely nothing individually, jointly, severally, now and forever." The girl looked at the postmaster in astonishment and said: "Please see if there is anything for Clarence Murphy."—National Monthly. A business man overtook a Negro trudging through the snow humming to himself. He talked with him and found that he was very poor. Finally he asked him if he didn't think he'd be happier if he were rich. "No, boss, all the rich men I work for never laugh." THE BLACKMAILER By RAFAEL SABANTI "I interest you? Good." Boscawen slightly shifted his position. "Now mark the sequel," he said, and as he spoke, he rose, and moved around his chair, so that he placed it between himself and his visitor. The movement appeared to be idle and subconscious; but it was not. He leaned now upon the tall, padded chairback, and thus the revolver—apparently idly held—was, without any effort on his part, covering Loane. "When our little transaction is over, Mr. Loane," he continued, "the servant Schuhmacher will walk out of this flat, and make a point of speaking to the hall-porter before he leaves the mansions. He will then take his departure, and make his way to a house in Soho in which he rented a room on the ground-floor on the day before entering Mr. Boscawen's service. There he will carefully remove the dye from his hair and face, he will burn his beard, and deflate the air-cushion which now provides him with his embonpoint, and by a simple change of neck-tie and shirt-stud. Mr. Boscawen the master, in the correct evening dress of a man-about town, will emerge from the chrysalis of Schuhmacher the servant in the unfailing dress-clothes of his office. "Being, then, myself, once more, I shall have to see that I slip out of the house unobserved. My collar up and my face in a muffler and shaded by the American slouch hat affected by Schuhmacher will all be of assistance. Before I reach Piccadilly I shall have found some dark corner in which to complete the transformation, by un-muffling my face, pocketing the American hat and replacing it by an opera-hat which I shall have with me for the purpose. Now, obviously myself again, I saunter into my club. I have already been seen there earlier in the evening, and in various other places—purely superfluous precautions; still, I thought it as well to take them. A sort of alibi can be established should my whereabouts this evening come to be questioned—which is in the highest degree unlikely. I remain at the club for an hour or so then I call a cab, and drive home. As I enter I make a point of inquiring from the porter whether Schuhmacher is in. He will tell me that Schuhmacher went out to look for me, as the gentleman I was expecting has arrived and is waiting for me upstairs. "Need I continue? Very well. I come up, and I discover that a murder has been committed in my absence. I find a shady character by the name of Loane lying on the floor of my study with a bullet through the heart or the brain, as the case may be. I raise the alarm. The police are sent for; a doctor is summoned. Both arrive. The doctor ascertains that the man has been dead at least an hour. The porter instantly accuses Schuhmacher, stating what he knows of the servant's movements. A hue-and-cry is raised, the man's description circulated, a reward is offered—all to no purpose. Schuhmacher has utterly vanished, leaving not a trace behind him. For a while the papers theorize upon the motive, remembering Loane's shady antecedents they have little THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN difficulty in conjecturing one; they will circulate rumors of the murderer's capture to contradict them in the next issue; the crime may have come to be known as 'The Hampton Gardens Murder' or perhaps 'The Valet Mystery.' There will be letters to the press denouncing aliens, and all the usual thrillers. Then gradually the interest will subside; other and more immediate affairs will overlay it; the police, disheartened, will abandon the quest for Schuhmacher, and the entire affair will be relegated to the limbo of unsolved criminal mysteries. "Meanwhile, Mr. Loane," and Boscawen smiled pensively as he spoke, "I shall not have permitted this unpleasant event to interfere with my arrangements. I shall have been married in peace, assured that there will be no dirty, sneaking blackguard to interfere with me, to threaten my happiness or wreck my future. What do you think of it all?" The other's answer was something between a roar and a snarl, as he hurled himself forward, swinging his clubbed cane. Boscawen now proved the foresight that had caused him to lean over the back of the arm-chair. He had several times moved it, idly as it seemed, backwards and forwards; his intent had been to get the casters into line, so that at the slightest thrust it would roll forward lightly. He thrust it forward now, as Loane sprang a him. The edge of the low seat caught Loane on the shins, and, thrown off his balance, the fellow toppled forward into it. Instantly the round, cold muzzle of the revolver was pressed to his temple. "It shall be in the brain, I think," said the cold voice of Boscawen. "Wait! Wait!" screamed the other. "Wait! I'll make terms. You shall have the letters." Boscawen drew back, covering his man. He came slowly round the chair, the other watching him, and waiting. "If you move an inch without my permission it shall be the last conscious movement you will ever make. Don't be a fool, Loane. I have you, and I shall need no great inducement to put a bullet through you. I'd prefer you dead, do you understand?" "I am worth more to you alive," cried the other, fighting desperately in the deadly trammels in which he was caught. "You know I am. You shall have your letters. What more can I do? What have you to fear from me then?" "I don't know. But I should have nothing to fear from you DEAD." "The letters would remain. They might be found." "True," Boscawen admitted. "But I don't attach great importance to them if you are not at hand to use them." "Still, they will be very dangerous to you. Come, Mr. Boscawen," the fellow implored wildly. "I'm a married man. I have three children. You wouldn't have their lives ruined—you wouldn't have them thrown upon the world." "So! You have children?" said Boscawen, sharply. "God help them! That is the greatest of all your crimes. And a wife! Poor, poor soul!" His tone changed abruptly. "Of course, you have not the letters on you?" Friday, December 29, 1911. "Of course not. I—" "Why, then—" "But I can get them—in a few minutes," screamed the other in abject terror now. "I have made arrangements in case you decided to buy them. If you'll send a messenger with a note from me, you shall have the letters at once. It isn't far." A period of silence ensued. In the chair Loane crouched, his little beady eyes glittering with a fire in which hatred and fear were mixed, his skin a pasty yellow. All the blood seemed to have turned to water in his veins as he stared, with trembling breath, at the tall, erect figure of the man before him. Boscawen measured him with a contemptuous eye. He seemed to put aside his murderous project with the greatest reluctance. "For your wife and children's sake, then," he said, slowly. "There! You'll find what you want on that desk. Write!" Loane obeyed, what time Boscawen stood over him, reading the fellow's message to his wife bidding her deliver to bearer a letter-case which she would find in a drawer which he described and of which he enclosed the key. He handed the letter to Boscawen who—unperceived by Loane—immediately touched the button of an electric bell. Almost instantly the door opened, and to Loane's utter bewilderment, Smith, calm and correct, the perfect servant, who, according to Boscawen's story, had been dismissed a week ago, entered the room. "Is the messenger boy there?" inquired Boscawen. "He is waiting, sir," answered Smith, the suspicion of a grin lurking at the corners of his mouth. "Let him take this letter to that address and await the answer." Smith received the letter from his master's hands, and turned to go. In that moment Loane woke from his stupefaction and realized what was taking place. With a strangled cry he sprang after Smith. But as he moved, Boscawen thrust out a leg, and the blackmailer pitched heavily forward. Boscawen knelt to pin him down. Smith turned, and came to his master's aid with a pair of handcuffs. The business done, he withdrew. They heard his voice outside, and the boy's answer. A moment later the door of the flat closed with a slam on the departing messenger. Loane, winded and pinioned, sat huddled in the great chair again, and again Boscawen faced him, squarely, across the room. "I regret to have to detain you, Mr. Loane, until the messenger returns," he said. "I trust I am not keeping you from any very pressing engagement." A hideous smile writhed across the blackmailer's livid face. "Spoofed, by—!" he swore. "Spoofed by a fool like you!" "I'm afraid so," said Boscawen, smiling.
