CAYTON PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. Main 305 427 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, - - - Associate SINGLE TAX FOR SEATTLE This paper just now is not prepared to argue for or against the adoption of single tax by the city of Seattle, but when you see the class of men who are fighting it you are inclined to believe it is not a bad thing. The P.-I.'s editorial one day this week against the single tax amendment was almost convincing until the owners of those valuable tracts of real estate, from which such large sums for tax purposes are annually raised unaimously approved of the thoughts and ideas advanced by the editorial. It seldom ever happens that even rich people cry to be given an opportunity to bear the burdens of the poor, and if the rich of this city are really advocating such then truly is the milennium dawn now at hand and neither side need give this or any other subject any further consideration. The ground on which stands the Alaska block may be a thousand times more valuable than a lot in the suburbs, but how about the hundreds of acres of vacant lots all over the city, on which only a few cents taxation are paid? A number of persons each own more than a thousand acres within the city limits and one concern owns in the neighborhood of 5,000 acres within the city limits, and those vast acres bear a very small part of the city debt. It seems that it would not be a bad idea for those acres to bear a proportionate share of the city burden. This, however, is not a single tax argument, but from our view point a just and equitable argument that the lands of the city regardless of their owners bear the burden of taxation and each parcel share and share alike in the amount.

Within the very near future a proposition will be submitted to Congress by the postmaster-general for the government to take over the telegraphic systems of the country and make the same a part of the postal service. This, perhaps, is the longest stride yet made in the direction of government ownership of public utilities, but it shows beyond a question of doubt that there is a general awakening along this line, and it is safe to predict that before another quarter of a century becomes history the government will not only control all of the public utilities, but will actually operate them. The day of the watered stock, getrich-quick magnate will soon be a thing of SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, JAN. 19, 1912. the past. The government has successfully operated the postal department and periodically reduced the postage rate and that too despite the enormous graft on the part of the railroads for carrying the mails. If it can do that it can also operate the telegraph and the railroad systems, and in operating the three in conjunction at least cut off the enormous carrying rate and the various side grafts, which of itself would be the means of reducing the rate for the use of all of those utilities so far as the people are concerned. May the good work go joyfully on. ANOTHER TELEPHONE STEAL. It is safe to say no public service corporation that has ever operated in the state of Washington has devised more schemes and sharp practices to filch the patrons thereof out of the extra money to swell the coffers of its stockholders than has, what is commonly known in Seattle, the Sunset Telephone Company. Not satisfied with raising its rate 25 per cent the company has inaugurated a system whereby its patrons must pay them an iron dollar in case they overlook the payment of their bill before the 10th of the month. After that date your telephone is disabled at the office of the company and when called, your number is reported temporarily disconnected. You may go at once and pay the bill but you are informed that you will have to pay a dollar extra for a lineman to go out and hook up your telephone, which has been previously disconnected, all of which is the most blankety, blank, blank blank falsehood ever told, as the phone is put in commission by the chief operator simply taking the T. D. off your number. It is reported that nearly 2000 of such delinquents occur every month, which means a net gain to the company of $24,000 annually. This fully explains President Vail's statement that his company has plenty $10,000 positions for men who have the ability to fill them. If all of his ten thousand dollar places are figured out, on the same basis as is the one in Seattle, it is readily understood how they can be paid. If the manipulators of the Seattle telephone system can plan out one or two more schemes like the above whereby the patrons of the system can be filched out of equal sums without it costing the company a dollar's expense and yet net the company on the whole annually over $100,000, to say nothing of the regular income, such a $10,000 man is cheap. With these facts at the voters' disposal we can hardly see how they can be just to themselves, their children and their fellowmen, if they do not vote for a municipal telephone system for Seattle and likewise vote for a mayor and members of the city council that will get busy along that line as soon as they shall have been elected and qualified. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 publican 1912. VOLUME XVIII, NUMBER 46. There is hardly any doubt, but that some women "live charmed lives," as says the Odessa Record, and some live charming lives from the number of men that is always hanging to their petticoats. In commuting the fifteen year sentence of Charles W. Morse, to take immediate effect, President Taft has pumped an elixer of life into the imprisoned carcas of the bank looter, who will live on and on for, perhaps, years to come. Morse is a cunning old fox. The Echo of Leavenworth is rejoicing over a bountiful ice crop that is being gathered thereabouts just now. Truly, truly, it is an altruism that, "it's an ill wind that blows no one good," as that community seems to always be harvesting some kind of a crop. Governor Hay's paper, the Wilbur Register, after summing up the things Orville Billings is against in his gubernatorial ambitions, says, "We are inclined to think he will get his quick and sudden," to which we almost agree, but with the Register it's a case of, the wish being father and mother to thought. Harry K. Thaw still insists that he is not crazy. Of course not, and never has been, but, when he was on trial for his life, the insanity dodge was a strong card to play, and the whole family thawed up to the situation, and for a while Harry and his whole family labored hard to prove insanity in some form or another had been a regular visitor in the Thaw family. James O'Donnell, an inmate of a home for pioneers at Prescott, Arizona, refused to shake hands with one Sir Gilbert Parker, an English bowing ape, on account of racial differences. It was O'Donnell's prerogative to snub Parker or anyone else, and yet the matter was reported to the war department as though Parker was supernatural. If he felt so disposed O'Donnell had the right to refuse to shake hands with the King of England, and even tell him to go to the dimnation bowwows. Such a clever plagerist is the editor of the Gazette of Colfax that, he garbles The Seattle Republican's comment on the gubernatorial candidacy of J. W. Arrasmith so well that he deceives his ownself into the belief that, it is original on his part. After reading the studied effort of the editor of the Gazette to appropriate the good things we dish up from time to time without giving proper credit, we are thoroughly convinced that The Seattle Republican is all wool and a yard wide. --- POLITICS AND POLITICIANS [Name] 2 HIRAM C. GILL Political Platforms seem to be made more for a bait by which voters are caught than for a policy for the one elected to office to go by. Three more perfect political platforms were never before flung to the breezes than those of Thomas A. Parrish, George F. Cotterill and Hiram Charles Gill, all appearing in last Sunday's Seattle papers. If either of those platforms were fully lived up to the mayor of Seattle would be the most popular man in the state and especially among the law-abiding citizens. It is often said, for a man to be elected mayor of Seattle means his political death, and for that reason the ambitious politician for state and national honors always dodges the Seattle mayoralty bee. In our opinion the reason politicians get their ships wrecked on the Seattle mayoralty sea is because they themselves refuse to obey the law, and it is rather inconsistent for one lawbreaker to try to compel another lawbreaker to obey the law, hence his political entanglements. Be on the square and in the open and to be mayor of Seattle will be a stepping stone to higher political honor and broader fields of political usefulness. Hiram Charles Gill, a former Seattle councilman and mayor, hopes to come back, and there are hundreds and thousands of voters in Seattle that are going to try to help him come back, his recall to the contrary notwithstanding. The political platform on which he expects to come back is a gem and should he be elected and carry out its tenets Seattle would be a model city. His opposition to the Bogue Civic Center ought to bring him many hundreds of votes that otherwise would be against him. In favoring the immediate construction of the proposed municipal street railway, which has been hanging fire for the past two years, ought to be responsible for him getting S AND POLIT [Name] THOMAS A. PARRISH thousands of other votes that certainly would have been against him under different circumstances. In coming squarely out for a municipal telephone system Mr. Gill has undoubtedly taken the initiative in this reform and that too should bring to his support many hundreds of votes, who are enthusiastic over this proposition. Last, but not least, his opposition to the police force breaking down the doors of hotel rooms to go in and examine the marriage certificate of the inmates ought to bring to him hundreds of votes among all fair minded persons and particularly among the opponents of a "wide open" town. "The only promise I have made," he declares, "is the appointing of Ed Cudihee chief of the police," which will tend to strengthen rather than weaken him. Taking it all in all Gill's platform, if lived up to, as said in the outset hereof, would make Seattle the model city of the United States and, it is worth thinking about. George F. Cotterill, who for years has been noted for getting up good newspaper articles, has gotten up another in the shape of a campaign platform for mayor of Seattle. It both reads and sounds fine, but he is the same Cotterill that has been trying to revolutionize the world ever since he reached his majority. In construction work Cotterill has always started in the air instead of on the ground. Had a hundredth part of the dire things Cotterill has predicted that would befall Seattle "unless my theories are carried out," Seattle many years ago would have gone to the dimnation bowwows instead of being a city of nearly 300,-000 inhabitants as it now is. There is no doubt but that Mr. Cotterill is just as anxious to see Seattle forge ahead as is J. D. Lowman who is so freely giving his time and his money for her future greatness, only --- January 19, 1912. [Name not visible in the image] GEORGE F, COTTERILL he wants to be the power behind the throne all down the line. But, taking it all in all, his platform, though bristling with campaign platitudes, few if any of which he could ever carry out, even though he should be elected mayor, is a pretty clever document, and if platforms ever get votes for those in whose interest they are issued, Cotterill's ought to get him many. His declaration, "I will have no policy but will live squarely up to the law," is the kind of talk a majority of the citizens want to hear from those they elect to office. Should he, however, be elected it is declared he would undertake to undo all the good work Reginald H. Thomson has done for the city. Thomas A. Parish, who quit a $4,000 job to become a candidate for mayor of Seattle, has like the other candidates issued a campaign platform, and it too can be classed as a political gem, not for what it said, but for what it did not say. It declares its candidate is for everything good for Seattle and yet it was unable to specify a single good thing that Mayor Parrish would work for. In his platform he has said nothing that would hurt any kind of a campaign he desires to make and nothing to hinder him from pursuing any kind of a mayoralty policy the P.-I. and Times would decide upon for him to carry out. He could say in the language of the once famous Jay Gould, "the people be damn," and yet the people would have no kick coming, for if they elect him they would be accepting a pig in the poke. As county assessor and tax commissioner, however, be it said to his credit, he made a very acceptable official and could be considered a man that lived up to the law. He is the mayoralty candidate of the daily papers and of Gov. M. E. Hay, and if elected would be a wheel in a magnificent political machine that is being forged by the January 19, 1912. daily paper triumvirate of the state. Mr. Parrish is neither a business nor a professional man, but is a politician of the kind you read about. Joe Smith, of more or less local political fame, and more or less famous for the newspaper stunts he has done in Seattle and Olympia, out of which he, so goes the story, made a whole barrel of easy money, is perhaps not the only damphool in the world, but it is a safe bet that, there is no bigger damphool in the whole world than he. His vicious attacks on Will E. Humphrey at last Sunday's Dreamland Rink meeting clearly demonstrated that the man has one of the most diseased brains of any person in the whole Northwest and that is saying a good deal. Robert L. Kline, of Bellingham, seems to have the inclination and, may perhaps, the determination, to become a candidate for the Republican nomination of secretary of state. Mr. Kline will probably divide the vote pretty well with Secretary Howell, who gives it out, he is not catering for the support of the weekly papers. If Mr. Kline should cater to the weekly papers in all probability he would make Isaac look like thirty cents with a couple of holes in it. W. L. La Follett, representative in Congress from the third district of Washington, thinks that he is being euchered out of a re-nomination by ring-rule among the Progressives, to which he seriously objects. From our viewpoint Mr. La Follett in politics is a false alarm and never succeeds himself. He turned on a false alarm through which he sneaked into the legislature and was a complete fizzle. It was through a false alarm that he was elected to Congress and, if such a thing be possible, he is even a worse fizzle in Congress than he was in the legislature. Instead of him being a victim of ring-rule he is a victim of water head. Perry Niles, of Everett, was in Seattle one day this week and dropped in the office of The Seattle Republican to say, "I am a candidate for state land commissioner and I am not on the state's payroll." It is refreshing to learn that at least one candidate for a state office comes from private life and does not belong to the state house ring, in which the rules of the game are based upon the principle, "I move to Jack's shop and Jack moves to mine." Coming as he does from private life, Mr. Niles ought to make a splendid run for the nomination. John Lockwood Wilson, the direct primary to the contrary notwithstanding, is still the central figure in the political game of Washington. Though repeatedly beaten for the political mastership of the state, yet he has as repeatedly come back and each time a little stronger than before. In 1899, the Seattle business men and politicians beat him for re-election to the senate and every time since that he has made a fight for the senate his Seattle arch enemy has been found at the gate to beat him back. Mr. Wilson, however, is not one of those who when he is smitten on one cheek will turn the other, but he fights back with a vengeance. Evidently the business men of Seattle not only THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN saw but read the handwriting on the wall and hoisted a flag of truce and as a result the Seattle Chamber of Commerce has entered into an alliance with Senator Wilson with the understanding that, if he will do things for Seattle at Washington City this winter, the business men will do things for him when he is again candidate for the senate. Every move now in the political game the fine Italian hand of John L. Wilson is to be seen, which enables him to soliloquise, "It's a long lane that has no turn." Edwin L. Blaine, at the brotherhood meeting of the First Methodist Episcopal Church, declared that if Seattle should adopt the Erickson amendment it would mean that Seattle would be compelled to bear fully 45 per cent of the whole taxation of the state. That the city would find herself already bonded beyond the present law regulating the bonded indebtedness of cities of the first class; and finally that for Seattle to adopt the single tax ideas as are now being advocated by the Erickson followers when the balance of the state would continue to run in the old groove would mean financial ruin M. WILL E. HUMPHREY Candidate for Federal Judge for Seattle. He neither argued for or against the single tax system, but was opposed to Seattle being caught between the nether and the upper millstones. Even single tax advocates had to set up and take notice of what he said and if he continues those talks in the campaign he will cost the single tax amendment a good many votes that were inclined to be for it. Henry Broderick rushes into print to announce to an ignorant (?) public that single tax is not what it wants. Henry may be correct, but we had never heard of him being charged with being one of the wise men of the East and he certainly has never been found guilty, if charged. He is a high mogul in the association of real estate sharks and the adoption of single tax might interfere with him throwing the harpoon in some victim to the tune of a few thousand dollars, hence he rises to denounce the scheme as vicious and demagogical. "Canned" Politics. We notice that many country newspapers are rebelling against "canned" politics. In other words, they are condemning candidate press bureaus Since the adoption of the primary law there 3 have sprung into existence in some of the leading cities associations of writers who constitute themselves advertising agents of candidates for the more important offices, such as governor, members of congress, etc. These "syndicates" deal directly with the office-seekers for a lump sum, and endeavor to earn their stipend by getting into the country press puffs for their clients free of charge on part of the press. Hence the kick. Now, we doubt if there be any newspapers in the state, barring the Seattle Times, perhaps, that will support a candidate simply for the "money in it." While the country press may, as a rule, accept pay from a candidate for the labor of preparing and printing claims of candidates for preferment, just as an attorney accepts fees for defending a client, still if such candidates are not the choice of a newspaper it will not support them simply for a monetary consideration. This is our opinion formed after forty years of newspaper work. The Megaphone has endeavored to give mention to all aspirants for public place, but without endorsing any of them. There are, doubtless, other good men who will yet come into the limelight, and the hasty selection of favorites so early in the campaign would show poor judgment on the part of any newspaper. "Canned" politics, however, as represented by the syndicates that are "pulling the legs" of aspirants to office should be frowned upon. The country press should unite in opposing all such political trusts. They are simply trying to make money through the free use of the columns of the country newspapers.—Quilcene Megaphone. Judson R. Grant, of the wholesale firm of J. R. Grant & Company, has been selected as the campaign manager of H. C. Gill. Seattle has few more excellent men than Mr. Grant and he will make a straightforward manly campaign for his candidate. George M. Stewart, after many active years in business circles in Seattle, has been on the water wagon for the past sixty days and has taken up his residence on a five acre ranch just outside the corporate limits of North Yakima, where he is trying to recuperate his lost fortunes out of fruits. His next door neighbor is Dr. Loughery, a brother-in-law, also a former business man of Seattle, and the two families expect to spend the balance of their lives in taking the world easy. Charles W. Wappenstein's liberty is now in the hands of the Supreme Court. His appeal was argued before that body one day this week, which was taken under advisement. Rumor has it that if the lower court is sustained Governor Hay will pardon him. Will E. Humphrey's appointment to the Federal bench is being fought on the grounds that, in his official career he favored the corporations. If a judge has been elevated to the Federal bench within the past twenty-five years, who was not backed by the corporate influence, then we miss our guess. Mr. Humphrey, if he has the ability, will in all human probability do as well as any of them. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM A. G. McBR1DE All good Mohammedans should make a pilgrimage to Mecca, and so should all good and faithful lawyers once in a while visit the great fountain of justice at Olympia. I wonder if the lawyers realize what a great benefit the Supreme Court is to them. Why, if it were not for the dread of reversals and justifiable criticism, some of our Superior Court judges would ride us poor lawyers to death. That is one thing the Supreme Court will not tolerate. It requires respect from attorneys to the court, and properly, too, but it has reversed a number of cases in which the judge brow-beat and insulted the attorney. Our Supreme Court is practically up with its work. This speaks volumes for the hard working men who compose the court, and when one knows that Colorado is about 3000 cases behind, the United States Supreme Court several years, and other state courts almost as bad, surely our state and bar is to be congratulated. A word of warning will not be out of place. There is danger of grinding out decisions too rapidly. Thousands of lives and millions of treasure have been lost on account of being in a hurry. The decisions now made will be read for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years, and every one, should be most carefully scrutinized before it is published. There is no court in the United States that is too careful. Many lack caution. Better run behind with the work until the legislature or the people can bring relief. I was in the law library several evenings while in Olympia, which is kept open until 10 o'clock. I saw so many of the judges there that I concluded they all work day and night. This is all wrong. I was pleased to meet to know, for the first time, Judge Chadwick, of the Supreme bench. The judge was in Seattle at a Democratic pow-wow a few weeks ago. He and Judge Ellis are the only Democrats, and it speaks well for the state that the court is non-partisan. Judge Chadwick was mentioned as a candidate for governor. He put a "quietus" on that. Being a Democrat is no handicap to the judge in Washington. It might be away from home, but in this state, I believe he could carry more votes than any three Republicans combined. The judge's perosnality is most pleasing. Such a man can do much good in the world. He does. I also met for the first time Judges Parker and Crowe. There don't seem to be any cold-blooded men on the Supreme bench. Pleasant, genial and glad to meet the lawyers when not in session. That frigid, stern look leaves them as soon as they doff the silken robes. Chief Justice Dunbar and "our own" Judge Morris, were hearing arguments this week. I don't know the other three men. These three unknowns remind me of a lawyer whom I heard arguing a case to a jury. He tried to read a part of THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the instructions, which were written in long hand. He could not read them, and asked the judge to do so, but he refused because he had read them once. The lawyer then remarked, "anyway, the instructions appear to be sound on their face." I was almost paralyzed while in the Supreme Court room to hear Harold Preston argue for the defendant in a criminal case. Harold Preston is one of the best loved men in all Seattle, but he has been too clean to dabble in criminal defenses. The people wanted him for Superior judge, but he wouldn't have it. Then they tried to get him on the Supreme bench and again he said no. Then Governor Hay tried to get him on the utilities commission and he turned that down. He did accept the office of state senator one term, however. Mr. Preston's ambition is the United States senatorship. I am afraid the people won't let him have it. They ought to. I would like to see him tested in the direct primary. If he don't get it, it will not be for lack of esteem. The people love Harold Preston. If he ever did a mean thing in his life, I don't know it. The greatest wrong he ever did, was to refuse to serve the people as a judge. I slid into Judge Ronald's chambers a few days ago. I told him about the two Nebraska farmers who got into a lawsuit over the question whether the horse colic was a disease. The judge maintained his calmness until I went to the door to leave, where I met deputy sheriff, Henry Shehaw. The judge said to the officer, "Don't let that man come in here again." He pointed towards me when he said it. Now, what do you think of that? It was reported sometime ago that the knockers in Seattle had either reformed or left town. I think this must be a mistake. Someone is knocking our municipal street car line. The dailies seem to be in the swim. Did you read what they published about the lines owned by the government in France? They said they were running at a loss. That is an argument against our trying public ownership, perhaps. It is coming and the city will own the Independent telephone line, too, before very long. The knockers may knock, but the people have made up their minds. If the Sunset wants the business of the town, why don't it reduce its rates? A raise on interurban rates is also threatened. The greediness of the corporations is bringing on public ownership at the rate of a mile a minute. January 19, 1912. John C. Lawrence, who retired from the utilities commission, January 1st, is already making a strenuous campaign for the Republican gubernatorial nomination by proxy, that is to say, he has employed an expensive press agent, who is peddling the bull con overtime in the interest of Candidate Lawrence.—The Seattle Republican. And by the way, a large amount of the dope he is peddling is being mailed to the country newspapers minus even a please or a thank you, and no doubt he thinks the back woods pen pushers will not detect the difference between this hot air and copy. We have enlarged our waste basket to receive just such "News" as this as we look for a large supply of it during 1912.—Ridgefield Reflector. WEEKLY EDITORS HARMONIZE The awakening among the publishers of weekly papers in King County to their own interest was never more manifest than was shown at the first regular meeting of the year the King County Weekly Publishers' Association held in Fremont last Saturday afternoon. The unanimity of action of the publishers demonstrated that they were thoroughly tired of being made cats paw of and likewise being played off one against the other. After partaking of a good feed the editors soon got down to business and an enormous grist was soon ground out. The chief thing accomplished was the agreeing upon a uniform rate for commercial, political and legal advertising and while that rate is extremely moderate in comparison to the fixed rates in other counties, yet it is a marked improvement over the rate that has prevailed in the county for the past two years. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President—J. D. Dean. Vice-President—W. A. Carle. Executive Committee—A. E. Ruffner, J. C. Gregory, J. W. Bowdish, W. E. Stillinger.

No attraction in some time has proved so delightful an entertainment as has "Graustark," the dramatization of the well known romantic story. Its delicious love stories, heroic scenes and situations and dramatic climaxes have been more than accepted by theatregoers, and the whole, as an ensemble has been declared by both press and public one of the most refreshing and entertaining offerings to be seen at the Seattle Theatre. ary 19, 1912. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Soft Lights from Life’s Other Side eee At the instigation.of the United States government Cuba was made ‘a white man’s government in order to prevent periodical revolutions as occur in Hayti, but it seems that as a white man’s government it is no less free from monthly disturbances than if it were a black man’s government. The president of the republic has run things with a high hand and has used the army to back up his usurpations, and so radical and in- tolerant did he become that, within the past week the United States government has threatened to again intervene in the interest of the common people. Human nature is just about the same, whether in a white or black skin, and the revolutionary disease is so common to those little governments that it exerts itself whether the republic be a white or a black man’s government. Uncle Sam would do well to watch over a few more of those South Sea island republies and the most of them on the main land of South and Central America. A PRAYER IN ARMOR. Lord, give me a place in the world’s great fight, The fight for the good and the true; A place where the wrong outrivals the right, And there’s a soldier's work to do. Help me to grapple some monster wrong That baffles the good and the true, With a white-hot heart, and a tireless song, And a far hope ever in view. . Hold fast my gaze to that gleaming height, Lest urged by reproach or applause I battle more for lust of fight Than love of a Christ-like cause. Yet show me the worth of the next small hill, As well as the distant peak; Instruct me when to wait and be still, And when to stand forth and speak. Give me patience, Lord, for a steady trudge Through the league-long dust and heat, And a dogged faith that will not budge, Come victory or defeat. Make strong my heart, and tender as strong, Prayer-tempered and toned for the fight; With love for the man whose monstrous wrong I loathe and must dare to smite. And when with earth and its strife I'm through, Let me leave it a safer place, With a clearer field for the good and the true, And the kingdom of Love and Grace. —Author Unknown. IS GAMBLING GAMBLING? Speaking about gambling, an orthodox English bishop of much local fame says, “there is no commandment against gamb- ling; and that the actual taking of a risk involved a question of prudence rather than of morals.’? Commenting on this the Wall Street Journal says: “Tf the gambler risks something which is due to others—to his ereditors or his wife or children—it is not difficult to define the moral law; his act is robbery. But if he risks what he can well afford to lose, with some one who is in an equally independent position, there is no breach of the moral law, and society has only reasons of expediency to justify interference. If he risks his money in speculation, in stocks, staples, or any- thing else, knowing that he is entirely capa- ble of assuming the risk, he performs an ac- tual service to the community in making a market. The professional trader on the Stock Exchange, for example, does this; and he is no more a gambler than the middleman in Washington market, who is liable at all times to have a consignment of produce spoil on his hands, and who is constantly selling produce short, to hotels and restaurants, and covering his ‘‘bear’’ position at a loss. “But the essence of these transactions is that there is a genuine consideration. Let us suppose, however, that two workmen on their way home, with $20 apiece of wages in their pockets, sit down to match coins with each other. One rises $10 richer and the other goes home $10 poorer. But is this the true measure of gain and loss? The man with the $10 which he has not earned will probably waste it, for his method of aequir- ing it shows that he has no habits of thrift. He has won very little; but the man who lost the $10 has lost a great deal more than the other has won. He and those dependent on him are straitened by the loss to the full extent of it, and even more; while the win- ner confers no corresponding advantage upon himself or upon those who may be de- pendent upon him, “Here, then, is the real objection to gambling, and it is not one of morals but of public policy. If our people are to be in- dustrious, thrifty and contented, they must largely limit themselves to that minor per- centage of risks which every gainful occu- pation to a greater or less extent involves. We agree with the politician that gambling in stocks is bad and against the public in- terest; it is as bad as, and no worse than, gambling in anything else. “Speculation in stocks is a different thing, and no country in history has sue- ceeded in enforcing laws to restrain it with- out creating a dozen evils in its place.’’ ‘TWO GENERATIONS OF LAW- BREAKERS. If the Southern white youth is not law- less it will not be because they have not had sufficient encouragement to be. There are open examples on every hand that made for disrespect of law and order and the demoral- ization of the youth of the South. Recently we were on a train which -was headed for the city of New Orleans. We boarded it about 2 a.m. In.the car allotted to the colored people was a young white lad not more than 10 or 12 years of age. It was an open violation of the law, to start with, for him to be in this part of the train. But what’ difference did it make? Law was not made for him, and he was learning the les- son. This lad had a cap pistol and was bursting caps every now and then, saying very audibly: “I got him, I got him, I shot a Nigger in the head.’’ He would then load up his toy gun and fire away again at some supposed black man, who had not wronged him in the least, and repeat again: ‘‘I got him, I got him, I shot a Nigger in the head.’” It turned out to be that this lad was the son of the conductor. As soon as he had a chance, the conductor, who was the custodi- an of the law, came into the colored compart- ment, took a seat and deliberately began to smoke a cigar. In the coach there were colored women, neatly attired, calm in their demeanor, evidently women who had come out of good homes. What did this condue- tor care? Was he not of a superior race, superior to law, superior to decent treatment of a humble folk? So superior and defiant in his superiority that he could not treat with civil courtesy people whose money made revenue for the corporation for which he worked and which made possible meat and bread for his own family. He actually ignored all principles of business and treated his patrons as if they had no rights that he had to respect. When this self-same con- ductor was approached and asked that he desist in smoking he became furious, insult- ing, defiant. Did he not have behind him the sentiment of his entire seetion? Could he not blackmail through the public press any Negro who might cross his path and paint himself a saint and the Negro a vil- lain? Why need he desist in smoking? It gave him pleasure. The discomfort of his patrons was of no concern to him. They were only Negroes anyhow. ‘Their wishes and comforts were not to be consulted. He was a law unto himself. The result of this whole situation becomes apparent. When one thinks about the for- mation of character that is to take place in the lad referred to, who is just at the impres- sionable age, and his father’s defiant spirit and lawlessness, it takes no prophet to tell what kind of man that boy will make. Is it any surprise that this lad fires his toy cap pistol and gloats over the wounding of an imaginary Negro? What kind of man will this boy make? What kind of country will we eventually have when general law- lessness is passed from generation to gener- ation? Surely the iniquity of it all ought to stir patriotic America to the point that there should be no rest until it is all put down.—Southwestern Christian Advocate. Dr. Linda Burfield Hazzard is being tried over in Kitsap county for having starved a woman to death, who was well aware of the fact that she was being starved, if not to death, to health. In after years the doctor will look back on this trial as one of the most amusing incidents in her struggle to reach the top of the professional ladder. Michael J. Carrigan is to get another of- fice and we are heartily glad of it, not so much because Carrigan needs the office, but because the community will probably get a rest from his continuous importuning the voters to give him some kind of an office. Some men seem to be born with the office itch and never get rid of it and Carrigan seems to be one of them. A German department has been added to the Willapa Harbor Pilot of South Bend in order to attract Germans living thereabouts. What those Germans need is more English and less German. 6 IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington for King County, Aurora Land Company, a corporation, plaintiff, vs. Unknown Owners, and all persons unknown, if any, having or claiming an interest in and to the hereinafter described real property, defendants.
