Seattle Republican

Historical Society The Seattle Republican Single Copies, 10 Cents. If it be a fact, and it is not officially denied, that the purchasing agent, backed by a majority of the members of the city council of Seattle, purchased electrical conduits in the East at a higher rate than a local concern would have furnished the same material or even for the same price as it cost in the East, then those having charge of it are real enemies instead of friends of Seattle. Why induce manufacturing concerns to establish gigantic plants at enormous outlays of money in the city, if the city itself goes to outside concerns for such articles as are made within her gates? Is it possible to build up a manufacturing center by pursuing such a policy? The Denny-Renton Clay and Coal Company declares that the city authorities sent East for electrical conduits to be used in the city and paid therefor more than it would have charged for a similar article, which article is manufactured almost within the city limits. There may not have been any graft on the part of the authorities in sending this order East without giving the local concern an opportunity to at least bid on it, but it looks suspicious, and a thorough investigation should be instituted. Whether it be in the interest of the manufacturing concern, who has registered this protest, or any other, who has been similarly treated, either by the city authorities or individuals living in the city, it is the duty of all to patronize home institutions. Nothing is more responsible for the financial stringency that prevails in Seattle at present than the lack of a large payroll and yet the city authorities are pursuing a policy, by sending to other cities for supplies that are manufactured within the city, and sold just as cheap if not more so than the imported article, that will kill even the small payroll she already has. As has the Denny-Renton Clay and Coal Company been treated by the city in this instance, so may other manufacturing concerns be treated, and when that state of affairs become public property then the city can hardly expect other manufacturing concerns to locate either in or near Seattle. Municipal Teelphones. Everybody knows that the reason Seattle's citizens are enjoying cheap electric lights at this time is because the city put in a lighting plant of its own. You can today get city lights for almost half what private corporations will furnish you similar lights and its cheap commodities that the people want. If you will vote to establish a municipal telephone system you will see your telephone rates cut in two in less than a month after the system is put in operation. Watch the daily papers, if you will, and you will not see a single word in them favoring the proposed municipal telephone system, not even in the Star, that alleged ever lasting advocate of the people's rights, and do you know the reason why? Well that powerful corpora- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, FEB. 23, 1912. tion controls millions of dollars and it has made it an object for the papers to forget it, with the view that you will overlook it at the election, but do not do it. The Sunset system charges its patrons twice as much as it should do for the service, and in addition it has devised hundreds of different ways to graft from its customers and never loses an opportunity to do so. You will not make any more of a mistake to vote for the inauguration of a municipal telephone system than you did in voting to inaugurate a municipal water system and subsequently a municipal lighting system. The telephone will prove just as beneficial to the tax payers as the two former so-called innovations and you should take advantage of your present opportunity. There are a number of important amendments that you should read over before casting your vote, but by all means do not overlook the one for a municipal telephone system. Theodore Roosevelt's much advertised speech, which promised to let the public know as to what he thought of himself succeeding William Howard Taft as president of the United States, was after all a very tame affair. He left no doubt as to his progressive ideas, and if he enters the presidential race it will be as a Progressive, which will mean the absolute elimination of one Bob La Follette. His views on the great questions of the day are diametrically opposed to those held by President Taft and go to the next national convention stronger than any of the other candidates, which yet it looks very much like that Teddy will despite the fact the support of Roosevelt is being fostered by a lot of hero worshippers, sooner or later will result in his nomination and his nomination will be equal to an election. Three Negroes were shot to death in Shetby, Tennessee, while they stood before the bar of justice (?) being tried for alleged crime. What a commentary on the boasted civilization of the United States of America! Those men were being tried by white men and yet white men refused to be humane enough to permit their brethren to put the accused through a mock trial, but shot them to death in the courts of justice to show their contempt for black men being tried as are white men. With the South full and overflowing with such red handed murderers as these the United States is the last government of all the world to protest against Russia for her treatment of the Jews. It was in the state of Tennessee where three Negroes, two men and a woman were burned to death in a wagon in which they were riding because they bought land in a community where only Caucasians lived. Thirty-two Delegates to the next Republican national convention have been chosen and they are all for Taft, but they are all from the South where the Republican party LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 publican blican VOLUME XVIII. NUMBER 51. is about as much in real evidence as is a varsity club in Hotentot. President Taft is about in the same fix, so far as the next national convention is concerned, as was the fellow that fell off of a fourteenth story building. As he passed the ninth story a stenographer heard him soliloquize to himself, "At the ninth story and still all is well," but it was at the end of the first story where he met real trouble. The states that have real Republicans in them will speak later on and unless we mistake the signs of the times, President Taft will get a severe jolt at the next national convention, and yet he may be nominated. The Seattle Times early in the present municipal campaign promised to refrain from editorially commenting on the mayoralty candidates, and it kept its word, but it must have been like gall and wormwood to Bulldozer Blethen to not vilify one of the candidates and John L. Wilson as he has done for the past twelve years in campaigns. But there come times in our lives when silence is golden and this happened to be that time in Col. Blethen's life. He himself seemed almost certain of drawing a penitentiary sentence, his two sons were in a like condition and his friend had already been given one, hence hedging seemed absolutely necessary. Therefore to make it easy for all in the boat of down and out the Times became neutral in politics, John Lockwood Wilson, who in the past had been branded a knave, suddenly became a distinguished gentleman, the Blethen indictments were all quashed and if the Colonel will be good Wappenstein will be pardoned. It some times pays to be good. A six million dollar fire for a Southern city must have consumed the ground as well as the buildings and their contents. But exaggerations in the million mark are always good advertising mediums. There is really so much money in Seattle that the bankers have employed extra guards to see to it that not a mother's son get a lousy dollar and they do not. Had the P.-I. and Candidate Parrish indulged in less personalities in the primary contest their present support of Cotterill would be far more effective on election day than it promises at this writing to be, nevertheless Nominee Gill had better keep busy and never let the grass grow under his feet or Cotterill's fads will surely grab him. Cotterill is no more of a faddist than hundreds of men who are backed by corporate influence. In fact we believe George F. Cotterill is one of the ablest thinkers of the Northwest and if he would only fall down and worship the interests he would be pronounced a most wonderful man. not his mistakes for us to reverse. States and The image provided does not contain any text. Uncle Sam's Three Great Heroes Washington's birthday was celebrated yesterday and there was a general suspension of business. The month of February so far as the United States is concerned is famous for the birth of three of the most remarkable persons in the history of the country, Washington, Lincoln and Douglas. Washington became famous as one of the characters of the world not by mere chance, but by natural ability. From childhood he was a leader of men and as he grew in years and finally reached the age of maturity the commanding qualities in him that had already cropped out in childhood continued to exert themselves and on entering the army he at once became a leader, and having the bravery he became the leader of leaders. Possessing those striking qualifications it was perfectly natural for him to take the lead in the freedom of his country and being able to lead in the most adventageous manner it was perfectly natural for his comrades to put him at the head of the continental army, and having, after many months of hard fighting, succeeded in driving the British soldiers from our shore, it was the natural sequence of things for his countrymen to select him for the first president of the new republic. All of those rises came as natural as smoke to fly upwards. He first saw the light of day February 22nd and as long as this republic lasts his memory will be revered and the anniversary of his birth be a day of festivities. Recently some one compared Abe Lincoln to the Jesus of Nazareth by declaring Lincoln was only surpassed by one being that ever came to earth and that was Jesus Christ. That the Almighty God created Lincoln for the express purpose of destroying human slavery in the world and thereby saving the United States from certain destruction on account of the accursed institution, is the firm belief of a large per cent of the citizens of this country at this time. He came to the earth amidst poverty and squalor, but acquired great knowledge almost without effort on his part. From rude elementary books he at an early age became one of the most learned men in the whole country and instead of taking advice from the wise men of the age they gathered about him to drink in his wisdom and learn the true object and aims of human life. But after his work had been finished he like the Savior of the world was taken from us and only left the memory of his greatness for us to revere. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN As time goes on his birthday anniversary will become more sacred and it will rank in importance with that of Washington. The latter will be pronounced the father of his country while the former will be styled the savior of his country. No less important in a way was the coming of Frederick Douglas for the life of the United States. While his efforts were seemingly all bent for the emancipation of the black folk, then held in bondage in many sections of the United States, yet he really emancipated the Caucasians of the United States from an evil that would have sooner or later dragged her down to ever-lasting ruin. While Washington and Lincoln came from families in the middle walks of life, yet they had an ancestry behind them reaching back into the middle ages, which had from time to time evoluted from good to better until they represented the best breeding of centuries. Douglas on the other hand could only trace his black ancestry back to the wilds of Africa where canibalism had prevailed for centuries and after being forcibly brought to this country had only been hewers of wood and drawers of water under cruel task masters, who sought to dwarf their brain and body to the lowest depths of perdition. Out of that depraved condition Douglas phoenix like rose and gave to the world a no less remarkable personage than Lincoln himself and developed almost without effort into one of the world's wise men. His exact birthday is not known, though it happened in February, and so in order to perpetuate his memory February 14th has been fixed as the time of celebrating his birth. THE STATUTE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON. At the corner of Nassau and Wall streets in New York City stands the Subtreasury building of the United States, and on the marble steps leading up to its main entrance stands a magnificent statute of George Washington. On it is this inscription: "On this Site in Federal Hall, April 30, 1789. GEORGE WASHINGTON. Took the Oath as the First President of the United States Here we stand on sacred ground. For on this spot is where the union of State was officially cemented by inaugurating the first President. At this place and at that time, April 30, 1789, the glorious career of the United States and the Federal Constitu tion began. The ceremony that meant so much to our nation and to the world took place here. Washington had reached New York after his triumphant march from Mount Vernon. The American public heart had turned to BLA Washington as the morning glory of the garden to the rising sun. And why not? Had he not fought and suffered without remuneration that he might gain freedom for them? It stands as an isolated instance in the history of nations for one man so to possess the confidence and affection of a great people as to command every voice and vote in his favor, without the aid of a nominating convention or any electioneering process whatever. But so it was with the first President of the United States. The day of the first inauguration was ushered in by a national salute. Business was suspended, the streets were full of men and women in holiday attire. At nine o'clock the bells pealed solemnly from every steeple in the city, summoning the people to the churches "to implore the blessing of heaven on the nation and on its chosen President"—so universal was the religious sense of the importance of the occasion. At the close of the religious service the military march began and formed opposite the presidential mansion at Franklin Square in Cherry street. Then the President-elect, accompanied by committees of the Senate, House of Representatives, Governor Clinton, Chancellor Livingston and other dignitaries of State and nation and many distinguished citizens, marched down Pearl street and up Broadway to the Federal Hall. As said above this hall stood on the present site of the Subtreasury at Nassau and Wall. Prominent citizens had contributed some $32,000 for the enlargement and adornment of the building in the hope that New York might be chosen as the permanent capital. When finished, it presented quite a stately appearance. It contained a Senate Chamber, Hall of Representatives, popular Friday, February 23, 1912 galleries, an elevated platform for the President's chair under a rich canopy of crimson damask. The Senate Chamber had a balcony twelve feet deep, opening on Wall Street, and guarded by an iron railing. In this balcony the President took the oath of office. When the inaugural procession reached Federal Hall, Washington alighted from his carriage, walked in the midst of his illustrious attendants, ascended to the Senate Chamber, where Congress had just assembled, and was received by Vice-President Adams and conducted to the chair of state. After formally introducing him to the august body Adams addressed him with stately ceremony. "Sir, the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States are ready to attend you to take the oath of office required by the Constitution, which will be administered by the Chancellor of the State of New York." "I am ready," was the grave reply of the President-elect. The Vice-President then conducted Washington to the balcony, accompanied by Senators and gentlemen of distinction. Broad Street and Wall Street in both directions were filled with a great sea of upturned faces—the windows and housetops filled with gayly dressed ladies—and a silence reigned as profound as if every living form which copmosed that vast assemblage were a statue carved in stone, Washington's fine, commanding figure in the center of the group of statesmen, his head uncovered and his powdered locks gathered and tied in the prevailing fashion of the day. Opposite Washington stood Chancellor Livingston in his robes of office ready to administer the oath, and between them the Secretary of the Senate held an open Bible, resting upon a rich crimson cushion, upon which Washington rested his right hand, his left resting upon the steel hilt of his sword. The Chancellor pronounced slowly and distinctly the solemn words of the Presidential oath. The Bible was raised, and as the President bowed to kiss the sacred page he said audibly, "I swear," adding with fervor, his eyes closed, that his whole soul might be absorbed in the supplication, "So help me God." "It is done," said the Chancellor; then, turning to the multitude, he waved his hand, crying in a loud voice— "Long live George Washington, President of the United Albert J. Goddard has been frequently criticized by first one of the daily papers and then another, and in fact he has never been a newspaper favorite except with The Seattle Republican, who had reasons to know he was as white a man as ever tread shoe leather. He has exposed graft and special interest in the affairs of the city and for that he has been severely criticized, but newspaper criticism did not swerve him from his sworn purpose and he fought on and on in the interest of the tax payers, the special interest men and the grafters to the contrary notwithstanding. His efforts were rewarded with coming in under the ropes in the recent primary race second and his friends hope that he will do equally as well in the general election. In the recent fight he let things take their own course and did little or nothing to foster his candidacy, not even opening up campaign headquarters. He worked on the theory that the people knew him and knew exactly what he stood for and aside from the fact that he let them know he was a candidate to succeed himself he made no further effort to convince the voters that he should be supported by them, and that is the way all honest men should do. If after serving the people as has Mr. Goddard done, he would have to make a house to house canvass for votes to be re-elected he did not deserve the nomination. While he did not get the newspaper support that he thought he was entitled to, yet he has no criticis mto make and again throws himself on his record in the council for election or rejection. If at any time he has done anything not in keeping with the best interest of the city then he openly declares he does not merit your vote and you should vote for the other fellow, but if the fight he as made from time to time since he has been in the council to protect the tax payers from the grafters and the special interest men meets your approval then he hopes you will give him your vote. His actions in the past is a mirror of his actions in the future should he be re-elected, though it will at no time lead him into doing anything that will injure the credit of the city. Friday, February 23, 1912 States!'" Silence was at an end. Instantly a flag was hoisted on the cupola of the Federal Hall. Bells in the city rang triumphant peals. Shouts and acclamations of joy burst from tens of thousands of happy people. With this act the government of the United States was set in motion. After the oath was administered Washington bowed to the assemblage, returned to the Senate Chamber, and delivered a short address. He then proceeded to St. Paul's Chapel in Broadway, attended by many distinguished men, where prayers were offered by one of the chaplains of Congress for God's blessing upon the new nation and its new President. Near this statute is old Trinity Church, on Broadway, at the head of Wall Street, from the steeple of which the chimes rang out the quarter hours. On this spot many another important meeting has been held. When the news of the assassination of President Lincoln reached New York on that awful day in April, 1865, throngs of excited men filled Wall Street. At noon a sort of mass meeting was held, and from these steps where the monument stands, where Washington was inaugurated, solemn and eloquent speeches were made. Among those who spoke that day was James A. Garfield, who little dreamed that the future had in store for him a similar fate sixteen years later. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN This statute was unveiled by Governor Cleveland, of New York, on the one-hundredth anniversary of the evacuation of New York City by the British army—November 25, 1883. It was presented to the United States by the New York Chamber of Commerce and was accepted by President Arthur on behalf of the American people.—The Round Table. Alpheus F. Haas led the ticket in the recent primary election for a member of the city council, and it was a deserved tribute for the work he has done for the municipality the year he has been a member of the council. One year ago he scratched in on the list of the successful eighteen by just a few votes. He did better in the general election than in the primary, but he only drew a one year term. He became a member of the council determined to give to the city the best he had in him, and those who have watched his career believe he succeeded to the limit. In the primaries one year ago it will be remembered that he failed to get the endorsement of either the Post-Intelligencer or the Star, hence he made his campaign through his personal efforts backed by a few of the weekly papers of the city. Even after he had been selected as one of the eighteen the P.-I. did not enthuse over his candidacy, yea not only did not enthuse, but did not treat him one half so well as did nine others it hoped to see pull through, but in [Name] spite of its silent and open opposition he won. He took his place in the council and at once became one of its most useful as well as active members. He was always on hand and recorded his vote on all measures that came before the body. How fair he has been as a member of the council is shown by not one of the daily papers ever criticising his actions. The Star, which represented the element ever ready to criticize the acts of members of the city council unless they voted for its damphool measures, was not able one time to point its critical finger at Haas, and that is sufficient proof that, he always acted above reproach. He leads the ticket in the recent primary election and it is safe to predict that he will come under the ropes in the general election with thousands of votes in the lead of his running amtes. ALBERT J. GODDARD A. F. HAAS 3 He is a man of unimpeachable character and he deserves the support of every loyal voter in the city. Let your first thought on entering the election booth be to vote for Haas for councilman. THE GREAT AMERICAN PLAY —"PAID IN FULL." "The great American drama" is the title that has been bestowed by many leading dramatic critics on Eugene Walter's "Paid In Full," which will be the attraction at the Seattle Theatre next week, opening with the matinee Sunday. It is a great drama. It has set new standards for the stage not alone in this country, but in England. Its directness and naturalness, its human interest, its portrayal of real life and In Full" an exceptionally attractive play for persons of every taste and fancy. As to its popularity there is no question. That point is settled by the fact that more than 2,500,000 persons have seen it. As to the title "great American drama," that has been bestowed upon it so freely—it is warranted by the play's career. Popular as it is in New York, where it ran for two years, and in Chicago where it ran for six months, it is no less a favorite in every part of the United States. Sothern and Marlowe are not abashed by the antics of the thermometer, which promises to make a record. Their engagement for two weeks is announced at the Broadway theatre in a repertoire of Shakespearean plays, beginning July 3. The plays selected for production are "Macbeth," "Hamlet," "Taming of the Shrew," "Merchant of Venice," "Romeo and Juliet" and "Twelfth Night." C. W. H. ALBERT J. GODDARD POLITICS AND POLITICIANS Land Slide for Gill is the result of the recent primary election in Seattle, and Cotterill, the other nominee, has no more show of winning than has a snowball to fly through Hades. When Mr. Gill got just a few votes less than did Cotterill and Parish combined, it was plain to be seen that the sentiment of the town is overwhelmingly in his favor. It is safe to say that 60 if not 80 per cent of the Parish vote will go to Gill and that at least 30 per cent, if not more, of the Wells vote will go to Gill and The Seattle Republican is of the opinion that he will get 40,000 votes in the general election March 5th. It may be the proper thing for the preachers of the various churches to become active in the political disputes of a metropolitant city, but the voters have not been educated up to that as yet, and until they are, they will turn down the candidates of the churches just as they did Cotterill and stand for a man not under church influence. Every time a governor has interfered in a municipal political fight it has resulted disastrous for the candidate backed by the governor and Parish proved no exception to the rule. The advocates of Cotterill and Parish expended their forces fighting each other, which made the Gill victory just like taking candy from a baby. While this paper did not endorse any candidate for corporation counsel it was apparent after Scott Calhoun endorsed Bradford under the circumstances he did that Bradford would win hands down. Hundreds of people changed their minds at the last minute on the corporation counsel fight and Bradford was for the most part the beneficiary of that sudden change of heart. The average voter made up his or her mind two weeks before the primary election that Harry W. Carroll was the only consistent candidate for comptroller in the race and his victory was an easy one. While the Socialist candidate against Ed. L. Terry polled a heavy vote, yet he voted his full strength at the primaries and it is not probable that he will get as many votes in the general election than he did in the primary election and Terry will be overwhelmingly elected. A. F. Haas, A. J. Goddard and John G. Pierce are the high men in the councilmanic fight and for that victory The Seattle Republican desires to congratulate itself. There were a number of good men running for the office of councilman, but you could only vote for three, and these three became our personal choice. Should the general city election run along the same lines as did the primary election we are of the opinion that, the gubernatorial candidacy of Gov. Hay has received a most awful jolt. Teddy seems to be for every thing he foremrly was not for, but an old adage runs, "Wise men change, but fools never," and evidently Teddy does not care to sit in the same pew with alleged fools. Missouri has gone hell bent for Champ Clark for president, but since it would go for any Democratic nominee for president about in the same way it does not interest the Republicans whether it goes for Clark or the other Democratic despoiler. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Madero's troubles in Mexico seem to be never ceasing, and he has already reached the conclusion that, "uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will have no other, and Madero seems no exception to the rule. We believe selfish interests are pushing the Bush Terminals and we are therefore of the opinion that, you should vote the proposition down. If your vote will kill the proposed civic center then you should see to it that it is killed so dead that it will never be heard of again. Charles E. Myers, state senator from Lincoln County, is advocating that the holders of large tracts of land in that county, divide the same up into smaller tracts and put it on the market at a reasonable figure in order for the county to get her pro rata of the emigration to the Northwest. Splendid idea, Senator. Joseph Blethen, one of the proprietors of the Times, recently presided over a Bush Terminal meeting, at which his father and other members of the Times spoke in the interest of Seattle voting five million dollars worth of bonds for the Bush Terminals. It begins to look as if this whole Bush Terminal proposition is a gigantic real estate scheme, in which the Blethens are personally interested and they are boosting the terminals with the view of unloading their worthless realty holdings on the island at an enormous profit. The Seattle Republican's political prediction as to the outcome of the primary election was the best yet. It said Gill would get at least 20,000 votes, and he got 24,630. It predicted Cotterill would be the next highest man by getting 18,000 votes, and he got 14,000. Parish it predicted would get 12,231; he got 12,669. It predicted Wells would get 5,000, but he got 10,841. The reason the vote of each candidate ran above the prediction was due to the fact that more votes were cast than was predicted. J. E. Campbell, for two years representative in the legislature of the state from Everett, has moved to King County and is operating a weekly paper at Tolt. For a number of years he conducted a labor paper in Everett. He has cast his lot with the King County bunch and he has started out well by seeking to become a member of the King County Weekly Publishers Association without having to be solicited. Edward Brown, state senator from Whatcom County, will have to fight to return to the senate, and he has decided to fight as he never before fought. Albert J. Goddard ran like a scared wolf. "I am thankful to my personal friends for the support they gave me in the fight, and I desire to especially thank The Seattle Republican." Governor M. E. Hay, it is claimed, spent nine days in Seattle in the interest of the Friday, February 23, 1912. TICIANS Parish campaign for mayor. If the statement is true then no wonder Parish went down like a dull sickening thud. The governor ought to be the governor and not try to be mayor of the cities of the state at one and the same time. Robert H. Lindsey, for the past twenty years one of the prominent attorneys of Seattle, will be a candidate for one of the nine superior court judges in the coming county primaries. Bob Lindsey is more or less popular and ought to make a good run. A. G. McBride, who for five years proved himself to be such a successful criminal prosecutor, has shown himself to be equally as strong defender of criminals as he was prosecutor. Recently he reversed two found guilty cases in the lower court and the third case, which he lost, he has taken into the federal court on a habeas corpus. He is a splendid fighter and if he continues he will soon build up a lucrative practice. John Byron Parker, a well known Spokane tonsorial artist, died in that city a few days ago. He was one of the most versatile men in that city and was so widely read that, he was a general source of information among the hundreds, who patronized his shop. There were few, if any public questions, on which he was not well posted and could discuss to an advantage with any one. Scott C. Bone, editor in chief of the Post-Intelligencer, has met his first political rebuff, but he takes his defeat philosophically. Mr. Bone is a beautiful editorial writer and is a splendid editor for a paper that is not in factional politics, but he made a mistake in supporting Parish for mayor because he was doomed from the very outset, and it does not pay for a metropolitant paper to make a losing fight as did the P.-I. in the late Seattle campaign. --- TOURIST BATHS Here you will find the most up-to-date bath establishment in the West.

Operated in conjunction with the remodelled TOURIST HOTEL Occidental and Main Seattle Happy John Lockwood Wilson Friday, February 23, 1912. If there is one happy and contended man in the United States he is the Hon. John Lockwood Wilson, former United States senator from the state of Washington. John L. is having the time of his life. He is in Washington. That is one cause of joy. He has actual business in Washington. That is another. That business requires him to circulate in the departments and to be frequently at the capitol. That is still another. And finally, there are a number of Seattle people here to watch him perform and to be impressed with the fact that he cuts a lot of ice in Washington. Altogether John L.'s cup of happiness is pretty nearly brimming over. While the federal city cannot be called former senator's native heath, it is his normal habitat. This is the town he knows. The big political and governmental game that is played here is the game he knows—knows, indeed, far better than his casual acquaintances appreciate. The class of people who transact the business of the government is a class he knows down to the ground, up to the roof, sideways and across. Every man enjoys doing that work which he does best. John L.'s work is doing business with the government in Washington. He is trained to it, likes it and is fitted for it. He has made of it an art. He can set an appropriation bill to music and sing it. A book of estimates to him is filled with romance and poetry and color and beauty. He can charm any private secretary that ever lived away from a guarded door. He can meet an entirely strange cabinet minister and in five minutes be getting from him the inmost secrets of the department. The door keepers at the capitol bow down and worship when he passes and the messengers and watchmen in the departments instinctively recognize him as a Big Noise and grow almost life like in his presence. He can trace to its lair the most carefully concealed unspent appropriation and make it come out and get busy for the object for which he is laboring. He can patronize a United States senator and get away with it. No secretary, assistant secretary, bureau chief or minor officer can keep up an appearance of haughtiness and aloofness in his presence for more than thirty seconds. He gets 'em all. He is a star. Out home people sometimes wonder at and grow amused over John L.'s personal and conversational peculiarities. Sam Blythe has said that John L. never converses; he always delivers an oration. One can go further and say that he brightens and colors the oration by doing a vaudeville stunt at the same time. The ability to do that is an asset here, a big asset. It is cultivated by John L. Remember that public men in Washington THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN John Lockwood BY ASHMUN BROWN have to meet and greet and do business with hundreds of persons every day. These people pass in an endless and drab procession before the gentlemen who are charged with the responsibilities of government, making small individual impression, merging into the lifeless picture and fading away. It is an unusual officer who goes through the work of meeting and doing business with them in anything but an automatic manner. But when John L. arrives the whole atmosphere changes. Beautifully clad, twirling the broad, black ribbon of his Bond street nose glasses in his fingers, his form bent slightly forward, his lean, gray face set in stern and dignified lines, he ambles upon the scene like an actor making an en- MOTHART C. JOHN LOCKWOOD, WI. JOHN LOCKWOOD WILSON trance. The clerks cease their work and watch, the Negro messengers grow round eyed and abject, the secretary feels the change and puts on the manner he uses when the diplomats call. And presently John L. is doing his vaudeville. Up and down the floor he strides as stories, anecdotes and epigrammatic observations on politics flow from his lips. All business ceases. Be there an open door, and beyond it you are sure to find a crew of curious employes, pressing to see and hear the show. Shrewdly—and how shrewd and clever is this master actor and publicist—John L. watches his man and keys his talk to what he deems most likely to make an impression. Thus he commands attention, thus he holds the interest of the weary officer, thus he pushes himself out of the colorless picture of the day's work. When he leaves everyone from the highest to the lowest is feeling refreshed and interested. They have had a --- new experience and an enjoyable one. Hence his business goes forward: that of an ordinary senator or representative or lawyer gets the routine attention only. And when John L. calls again every one smiles happily and is eager to get him talking and performing and to work for him. But this is only part of it. There are scores and hundreds of the nation's great here who know John L. intimately and personally from long time association, and they all delight to be of service to him. Does he visit the fish commission's office, for instance? Then you will find Commissioner Bowers turning the place up side down for him, for did not John L. back in the first McKinley administration, save Bowers' appointment when a fight started in the senate to prevent confirmation? Does he visit the chairman of one of the great appropriation committees of the senate? There you will see the chairman greeting him as an old and loved comrade and when, the preliminary talk over, John L. demands in mock brusqueness, "Well, do I get that appropriation or don't I?" (mentioning an item for something in Alaska) the chairman smiles affectionately and says, "Oh, of course you do, John L. Just write your initials here opposite the item in my copy of the bill and it will be all right." Is it any wonder that all Washington knows that John L. is in town? Ex-senators by the score may come and go, but to Washington there is only one John L. When he was picked to head the Pacific coast delegation here boosting Alaska a good job of picking was done. If you don't believe it, ask John L. —Olympia Record. It is the concensus of opinion even among those who have fought the senatorial ambitions of John L. Wilson the hardest in Seattle that he was the most serviceable man the state ever sent to the United States senate, but for some reason he was never able to fraternize politically with the powers that be in Seattle, hence his regular and stated defeats for the senate. Had not Judge Burke entered the senatorial race two years ago Wilson would now be Seattle's senator and be able to do even more for Alaska than he is doing, but even now his efforts in Washington are being badly back-fired by such distinguished Seattle citizens as Police Bailiff Jack Meek. Albert D. Johnson, according to a local publication will make the run for Congress on his beauty instead of his record or his qualifications and to this the Gray's Harbor News adds, "His beauty is his only qualification."
