He is not a Democrat, who, for the most part, is a political damphool. Of course Congress ought to economize on the army and navy and a good way to do it is to cut them both out. When that New York taxi ran over a singer, we imagine persons near him-heard a new song and far more doleful than delightful. England's suffragettes have broken out in a fresh place, thus proving beyond a reasonable doubt to what extent the women over there are suffering. China it is said has only 200 newspapers, not as many by a good deal as has the state of Washington. No wonder China is so far behind the times. The rattling of dry bones in the First ward of Seattle seems to have been a false alarm and things will now relapse into their normal Dilling condition. That "sporting" man who demanded "liberty" or death prior to the Seattle election has doubtless dodged death by taking a ticket to some other town. It cost the taxpayers of the English government $10,000,000 for King George and Queen Mary to visit India and have their hands kissed by their ebony-skin subjects. Nicaragua got in a few hard Knox on Uncle Sam's secretary of state. Keeping peace in the family on the part of Uncle Sam did not appeal to the hot blood of the Nicaraguans. If its advertisement that Seattle wants to let the Gill folk get in now and recall Cotterill, and there will not be many places in this wide world where Seattle will not be a hiss and a byword. It is officially reported that, half of the residents of Alaska are affected with tuberculosis germs. That probably accounts for so many of the merchants up there sending their orders for supplies to California. SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1912. It is said that the supporters of Gill lost $10,000 in bets on the election. Had they have put that money into the campaign their choice might have won and then that ten thousand would have been a mere bagatelle. For years it has been argued, "marriage is a failure," but now some wise guy declares, "marriage is an experiment." "Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will have no other," is an old adage, and on the subject of marriage the most of us are fools. Senator Dupont wants the army and navy strengthened. He perhaps, expects to use it in case busy bodies make an effort to investigate his methods of being elected a member of Uncle Sam's millionaire club. "Men, measures, competency, honesty, integrity and loyalty to country," may be important factors in the coming campaign as declares the Dawn of Ellensburg, but the "dough" will make them look like thirty cents with a hole in it. That butter famine in Ellensburg sounds almost as fishy as the story told by the African traveler, who declared in order to keep from dying of thirst, he had to build a fire and make a cup of coffee. The man either prevaricated or his booze supply had not lasted as long as he had anticipated. It may be a felony to carry a "gun" in New York, but gun toting is more extensively practiced now than before the felony law for gun toting took effect. Hard times have increased the number of thugs, who tote guns law or no law and to protect themselves against thugs law-abiding citizens likewise carry guns. Despite the fact the courts have ordered the telephone companies of Seattle not to merge, yet they have paid no attention whatever to the order of the court and the two systems are now one. The corporations of the United States have no more regard for an order of a court of justice than they have for the grunt of a hog and all because they know they control the courts. SHORT SHARP SHOTS. It's no safer to be in a taxi with money than to be on the street without it.—New York Herald. As we understand the istuation, one of the Florida Republicans is for Taft and the other is for Roosevelt.—Topeka Capital. The stockholders of the Mexican companies want to know what became of their money. More neurotics.—Philadelphia North American. Nicholas II. of Russia accrediting an ambassador to the Republic of China is a situation not devoid of ironic meaning.—New York Evening Post. VOLUME XVIII. NUMBER 3. In cutting a $29,000,000 melon, Standard Oil Company of Indiana might have shown omre consideration for the feelings of Judge Landis.—Wall Street Journal. As China is to be modernized, and may adopt the English language, it would be a good time to reform the spelling of the word queue.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Mail for Roosevelt, The Tribune for Taft. Simply a sample of the Republican situation throughout the country. It looks very much like the finish of the G. O. P. Tammany Times. No political significance can be attached to the results of the election in Seattle last Tuesday as it was non-partisan and gives none of the political parties, that will battle for success next November, any advantage over the others. Among the liquor dealers some little misapprehension is felt over the election of a rabid temperance-prohibition advocate as mayor of the largest city in the state, where there is supposed to be little or no sympathy for either of those theories, but their misapprehensions are without real foundation and it is safe to say fifty per cent of the men who voted for Mr. Cotterill last Tuesday for mayor would vote wet in case the prohibition question was up for adoption in Seattle. While the Socialist candidates received a heavy vote, yet their vote does not mean that there are one-tenth that many Socialists in the city. It was the choosing between two candidates and the personnel of the men and not their partisanism influenced the voters for or against the one or the other candidate. WHO WILL BE MAYOR has been finally answered by the voters of Seattle and it is George F. Cotterill, and until he is recalled, all may say, "Let George do it." The Seattle Republican was of the opinion that Gill would win, basing its opinion on the primary vote, but Mr. Cotterill and his friends made a masterly campaign and for a whole week prior to the election they made thousands of votes. The election of Cotterill was a splendid victory for the P.-I., not that it was the whole show in the fight, but because after a vigorous anti-Cotterill campaign in favor of Parish it swung to Cotterill, when its candidate was beaten, and then made such a dignified Cotterill campaign. It has been the dream of Cotterill's political career to be mayor of Seattle and now that he has realized it let's hope that he will demonstrate to the people that, he is worthy of the confidence placed in him. If George Cotterill will do it, George can do it, and now, let George do it. He is a strong temperance prohibition advocate and it remains to be seen whether or not he shapes his administration so as to precipitate a wet and dry fight in Seattle. POLITICS AND POLITICIANS Henry B. Dewey, at present state superintendent of public instruction, has officially announced his candidacy for representative to Congress from at large. He is well and widely known especially among the school teachers of the state, but in politics, that kind of acquaintanceship never amounts to very much, but vote for the two representatives from at large is going to be badly cut up and if the teachers will "log roll" for him he may stand a chance of winning. Albert J. Goddard lead the councilmanic ticket and that too inspite of the Don Quixotic efforts of the Civic league. The circulars sent out the day before the election by either the Civic league or some aggregation of criminals seem to have done Mr. Goddard little or no harm. Mr. Goddard will not be fair to himself unless he runs the ones down responsible for those circulars and then proceed against them through the courts. Eugene Schmitz, former mayor of San Francisco, has been acquitted of one of the many bribery charges against him, which may mean the dismissal of them all. Abe Ruef was brought from the penitentiary, to testify against Schmitz, but refused to come through and Schmitz goes free while Ruef returns to prison. The Damon and Pythias yarn pales into insignificance when compared with the Ruef-Schmitz determination to die by each other. William Howard Taft, president of the United States, is again swinging round the circles evidently for the purpose of counteracting the effect of the Roosevelt maneuvers of recent dates. He plans to answer Roosevelt's arguments and completely show the fallacy of his theories. Henry McBride, he of much local political fame in years gone by, has been made president of the Roosevelt organization of this state. Mr. McBride is a scrapper from way back, but totally lacking in diplomacy, which was wholly responsible for his own political downfall. The question is, can he do for another what he ignominously failed to do for himself. Had he have used ordinary horse senes he would not have been defeated. Hyram Charles Gill's late defeat must make his friends feel like the Swede, who while walking down a railroad track, with a friend. They saw a train coming, and the two supposedly stepped off the track, Hans to one side and Ole to the other. After the train had passed Hans did not see Ole and felt a bit indignant at him because he thought he had jumped on the train and left him. So he started to return home. As he walked along the track he first saw a man's foot, then an arm, then a leg, then a body, and by that time he was growing suspicious, and when he finally saw Ole's head, he exclaimed in utter dismay: "My God, something surely has happened to Ole!" Big Billy Bigger, using the familiar vernacular of the streets of Bellingham, has THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN announced his candidacy for representative to Congress and he has adopted 4 BBBB as his campaign slogan. After the campaign he may find it necessary to add another "B, " which in connection with the other four might be interpreted as follows: Big Bill Biggar (of) Bellingham Badly Beaten. J. W. Bryan, the fighting little cuss from Kitsay county, who tried to break into congress from the first district two years ago, has come back, and has announced his candidacy for congress from at large. While the American people will travel for many miles to see a fight, yet on the whole they have a mightly little respect for the fellows that actually do the fighting, and for that reason Bryan will not prove to be a popular candidate for congress. In seeking the office he is doing so as a Republican, but once in congress and he would not vote a single time with the Republicans unless he did so by mistake. Harry E. Wilson has been named by Gov. Hay to the position on the public service commission made vacant by the resignation of John C. Lawrence, who hopes sooner or later to force Gov. Hay to resign or quit the gubernatorial job. Wilson is a Seattle lawyer and since he has been a member of the King county bar he has almost made a living for himself, but now he is assured of three squares a day and the many other comforts and luxuries the office in the way of emoluments bring to the occupant. The appointment strengthens Hay in Seattle. E. C. Carroll, general agent of the Pacific States Telephone Company, is sore over the tie-up of the merger of the telephone companies, but Mr. Carroll only smiles when he is reminded of the flat-foot falsehoods the local managers of the two telephone companies made to Mayor Dilling when he accused them of clandestinely merging the two companies. Each on their honor (?] declared that no such was being done or contemplated, and at that very moment it was as good as done. Men who will on their honor (?] make such a statement, when they know them to be falsehoods are not the men to be trusted when your back is turned. Such men only have standing with their fellow men on account of the money they have to bribe men with like criminal minds. What the people of Seattle should do at this time is to rise up in their might and forcibly tear to pieces the merging wires of the two companies that those deceptive managers might understand that, the people have some rights the corporations are bound to respect. Horace McClure of more or less local newspaper fame has been elected president of the Seattle Press Club. Horace is one of a brilliant family of boys, four of whom live in Seattle, and are leading legal practitioners. For some unaccountable reason he has stuck to newspaper work and has had the newspaper man's luck, sometimes up but more often down, while his brothers have grown immensely rich in the legal profession. Mr. McClure is one of the brilliant Friday, March 8, 1912 writers of Seattle, but he does not seem to be of the temperament to popularize the Press Club and make it useful as well as ornamental. Prof. Edgar F. Sheridan, who has charge of the department of journalism at the state university, will give a short practical talk to the King County Publishers' Association at noon Saturday, March 9th. Lovett M. Wood, who recently returned from the Orient, whither he had been sent as an agent of the United States government in the interest of trade, is being asked to talk on more occasions than he can supply. Mr. Wood owns the Trade Register of Seattle and is a thorough weekly newspaper man and is heartily in accord with the efforts of the weekly publishers. He will speak at noon Saturday at the monthly meeting of the King County Weekly Publishers' Association at the Commercial Club. As a matter of record the election returns are reproduced. The comptroller's official figures fix Geo. F. Cotterill's lead over Hiram C. Gill as 748 votes. Mr. Cotterill received 32,035 and Mr. Gill 31,287 votes. James E. Bradford, for corporation counsel, defeated J. E. Brown by 8,039. Bradford's vote was 35,196 and Brown's 27,157. Harry W. Carroll was elected comptroller by a majority of 8,033. The vote for Carroll was 32,416 and for Frederick B. Chandler. 24,383. Ed L. Terry led the entire ticket. Mr. Terry had a lead of 11,073 votes over Geo. W. Scott. The vote for Terry was 36,265 and for Scott 25,192. The three high councilmen for the three-year term are A. J. Goddard, John G. Pierce and A. F. Haas. Goddard received 33,703, Pierce 33,257 and Haas 28,735. John Schram for the three year term received 25, 621 votes, Joe Smith 22,884 and C. J. Jacobs 14,882. Charles Marble, who contested the one year term in the council with David Burgess, defeated his rival by 5,323 votes. Marble received 31,900 and Burgess 26,577 votes. [Name] ALPHEUS F. HAAS Who came in second the prevarications of the Star to the contrary notwithstanding THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN CURRENT EVENTS OF THE WEEK Skagitt County Publishers have followed in the wake of the weekly publishers of King county and organized a strong local association for defensive and offensive operations, and Louis Jacobin, secretary of the State Press Association, was elected president. With but two exceptions all of the papers published in the county were represented and participated in forming the association. The first official act of the new association was to take a fall out of the political publicity hogs in the passage of the following preamble and resolution: "Whereas, These institutions and persons are growing fat and the politicians powerful through this means; and "Whereas, This method of exploitation and the matters so exploited are purely of a commercial nature and have thus far been of no pecuniary value to these newspapers; therefore, be it Resolved, That all political and commercial news having a commercial value to the sender shall be accepted and published only at regular rates." There were seventeen newspaper men present. Negro is Risen. Last week two federal prisoners were brought into the office of the clerk to swear off their fines of $100 each. The men were E. L. Blalock of Gwinnett county, white, and Sol. Williams of Cobb county, a black. Both had served short terms in the Fulton county jail, and being unable to pay their fines went through the customary formalities of swearing that they 19 Officer W. LOVETT M. WOOD Uncle Sam's Commercial Agent in the Orient is talking Turkey to Seattle Business Men ALBERT J. GODDARD Seattle's most popular Councilman, who lead the ticket in the late election Friday, March 8, 1912 "Should Theodore Roosevelt make his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on the slogan of, Mexico should be controlled, I am inclined to think that, his would be the only name presented to the next convention,' said one who is a close student of men and affairs. Owing to the everlasting political commotion in Mexico and the repeated humiliations the citizens of the United States are compelled to undergo at the hands of Mexicans, such a campaign slogan would be very popular. There is no doubt of the fact that the sentiment is growing in this country that the only way to preserve peace in Mexico is to put peaceful Americans in charge. If the United States does not take steps to preserve peace and order in Mexico either England or Germany will do so, and, if reports be true, Germany is "spiling" to do so, and should she do so, then the Panama canal would be worse than worthless to the United States. The Union Jack now flies over the south pole, while the Stars and Stripes triumphantly wave over the north pole. Capt. Scott, an Englishman, is reported as having reached the south pole and is now making his way back to England to be received by his countrymen. Some time ago Commodore Perry and Matt Henson, two citizens of the United States, reached the north pole and took possession of it in the name of the government of the United States. Owing to the scarcity of homesteads in both England and the United States a lively emigration may be expected to set in to these new found possessions of both countries and it ought not to be very long before an all rail conveyance will be operated between the two poles. 3 possessed not over $20 which could be used to pay the fine. "Mr. Blalock," called Clerk Fuller, and he administered the customary oath. "Sign your name right here," continued the clerk. "Aw, I can't write my name," replied the man in a natural tone, as if such a thing were an every-day occurrence, and the clerk wrote the name and let Blalock touch the pen as he put the cross underneath the necessary "his mark." "All right, Sol," called the clerk as he told Blalock to go. The Negro, who appeared to be an ordinary country Negro, took the oath and wrote in a fairly legible hand his full name, "Solomon Williams," bowed to Mr. Fuller and left the office. "Do you know that is one of the commonest things up here that happens in my office and one of the most—well, disgusting," Clerk Fuller added after pausing for the right word. "Nearly every Negro, young and old, who comes before me can at least sign his name, and yet we have a number of white men from the country districts who can't write their names and who don't seem to feel the least embarrassment about saying so. "That Negro man is over 50 years old and that white man is not 25. The Negro grew to manhood when an education was far harder to get than it is now, and the white man has today every chance in the world to overcome his ignorance and lack of knowledge if he but had the ambition and pride to do so." "Now, there's a sermon in illiteracy and the need of a compulsory education law. A white man who couldn't write his name and in jail."—Exchange. Friday, March 8, 1912. gang of law breakers now going on in the windy city has developed its falsity. In that case, Garfield was probably the only man in the United States that was fooled. Municipal ownership is the solution. Let it come, and come speedily. The city can operate a telephone business as successful as it does the light and water departments. Why not? The principles of the Sherman anti-trust and combination law were probably first enacted in A. D., 483, by the edict of Emperor Zeno. That people had no supreme court and Zeno wrote the "rule of reason" into the enactment. A few of our present day lawyers and hosts of attorneys objected to this so-called "rule of reason," the principles of which were born in the voice of God and are therefore everlasting. A great daily paper recently said that Roosevelt wanted the recall of judges for the purpose of eliminating judges who deliver unpopular deicisions. That is not correct. The recall is wanted for the purpose of putting the fear of God into the hearts of judges and to make them honest. Americans are too honest, too fair and too honorable to ever recall a judge for making an honest mistake. LIFE'S LAUGHING LOOKS Not Used to it.—Theater Manager: "You are engaged for the box-office. All you will have to do is to receive money." "Thanks. I think I should like to have a few rehearsals."—Meggendorfer Blaetter.

The Last Word.—The doctrine of purgatory was once disputed between the Bishop of Waterford and Father O'Leary. It is not likely that the former was convinced by the arguments of the latter, who, however, closed it very neatly by telling the bishop, "Your lordship may go farther and fare worse."—Christian Register. Serious Omission.—The new millionaire's banquet table was spread, and the guests about to be summoned. "Are you sure there are no reporters present?" anxiously asked the host of the butler. "I've made certain of it, sir." "Then go out and get a few," rejoined the host.—Canadian Courier. Summer Wear.—Patrick worked for a notoriously stingy boss and lost no chances to let the fact be known. Once a wagg of a friend, wishing to twit him, remarked: "Pat, I hear your boss just gave you a brand-new suit of clothes." "No," said Pat, "only a par-rt of a suit." "What part?" "The sleeves of the vest!" —Philadelphia Ledger. Confirmed.—Newsboy—'Wuxtra! Big hold-up in Wall street!' Street Song-seller (near by)—'Everybody's Doin' It, Doin' It'!'—New York World.

It costs the city between $700,000 and $800,000 a year to maintain its evening classes. Superintendent Maxwell has come to the conculsion that all this effort for the younger pupils is "worse than useless." The city is therefore asked to abolish the night schools for all but adults and organize another order of school for children who work through the day. Employers are not to be granted all the effective hours of the boy's or girl's day, but are to release their young employees for attendance at "continuation schools," lasting from 7 to 9 a. m. and from 4 to 6 p. m. The school will then have a fair chance at a boy when his mental energies are not exhausted by a day in office or factory. In Dr. Maxwell's report to the city's Board of Education he writes of the more than 89,000 registered in the elementary night schools: "The school time is taken out of their time for recreation—the evening hours." The recommendation is backed up by argument based not only on justice, but on expedience. Thus: Money is being spent most liberally on the education in splendidly equipped high schools of those boys and girls who are so situated that they can make school-going the chief business of their lives until they are at least eighteen, and often much longer. Are the state and the city to take so little interest in the less fortunate, who are in the great majority, that all the education they can offer them is the three R's at the period of the day when the brain refuses, or is too weary, to act? Are employers to have the best of the child's day at toil that is often grinding and poorly remunerative, and leave him little, if any, chance to cultivate those functions of mind and body upon which success and happenings in after-life depend? The interest of the community as well as of the individual demands that the child who has not the opportunity to pusue a high-school course, or even to complete the elementary school, shall be kept under the tutelage of the state and shall be given such schooling as he can profit by until the end of the high-school age. Employers will in the end profit by the arrangement, because with improved training their youthful employees will become more efficient and hence more valuable."
