Main 305 427 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, - - - Associate OSTRACISING THE NEGRO Race prejudice in the United States, on the part of the whites as against the blacks, is due to a condition rather than to a distinction, and for those of the whites, who are broad enough in mind and soul to recognize merit in a man regardless of either his color or his condition, to become peevish or pessimistic over the opposition to him by others, who are not similarly constituted, demonstrates that, they at least are as intolerant as those, who refuse to recognize true merit only in the white man. For the Negro to become impatient, grouchy and disconsolate over unnecessary exhibitions of Negro antagonism on the part of the whites and in despair exclaim, What's the use? demonstrates that he would go to pieces even worse should success instead of reverses crown his efforts. A condition can be overcome if properly treated and, in our opinion, the white man's antagonism to the black man in the United States can and will be overcome providing those Negroes, who understand the condition go about the work in a practical as well as systematical way. It's no use dodging or denying that the condition exists for it is found in Minnesota as well as Mississippi and in Maine and Washington as well as Louisiana and Forida. In those states where the blacks are the most numerous it is more acute than in those where there are not so many, but whether in an aggregated or a mild form it always bobs up. The actions of the executive committee of the American Bar Association in arbitrarily annulling the membership card of William H. Lewis, a deputy U. S. Attorney General, after he had been regularly elected by the body, prompts this article. This seemingly unwarranted action is due to the fact that, Mr. Lewis has Negro blood in him and does not deny it, as do many others who are members of the association. White men, who were college chums of Mr. Lewis, declare there is nothing in the general deportment of the man that would lead even a Jim Vardeman to suspect, if his face was masqued, that only the most polished and refined white blood flowed through his veins. Neither the natural nor the acquired ability of the man is questioned as he was especially selected by the authorities for his legal qualifications, but the man has Negro blood in him and that totally eclipses every good qualification he may possess and for him to associate with white men of like and even inferior ability to himself is not only presumptuous on his part but impertinent. May, perhaps, a majority of the members of the association will rescind the arbitrary and intolerant actions of the executive committee, but even then Mr. Lewis will still have to confront the condition and his usefulness as a member of the association will be completely destroyed and his refusal to quietly withdraw may result in the disruption of the organization. If meritorious Negroes can become members of such great educational organizations without friction it will mean much in working out their salvation and destiny in this country; but if their presence is to cause disruption they would help themselves and those of like blood to gracefully withdraw. For the Negro to himself try to overthrow the condition in the United States by main force and violence will surely result in his annihilation in this country, while, on the other hand, if he makes haste slowly, and takes advantage of opportunities and makes good the condition will grow less intolerant and within the next half century the condition will be almost a thing of the past. Jesus Christ and Solomon both with Negro parentage would have as much trouble with the white man in the United States under the present condition as did William H. Lewis. It takes time to work out a condition and the people who refuse to wait upon the actions of Father Time will go backwards instead of forward. Wiping out the court is a new move on the part of the bloodthirsty lynchers of the south. Since the days of 1875 the mob spirit has been on the increase as to dealing summary vengeance on offending Negroes, throughout the south. But that section has been frequently warned against her lawlessness to the effect that in a spirit of disappointment the lawbreakers would turn on each other and the prediction has come true, as one day this week a Virginia judge, a prosecuting attorney and the sheriff were instantly killed and the clerk dangerously if not fatally wounded by a mob, which did not take kindly to one of their number having been convicted of infractions of the law. In the south the whites tell with much amusement of the killing of a Negro and they are killed for any crime from water melon stealing to murder, and this has become so much the custom of the country that law and order are held in absolute derision. A few more outbreaks like the one in Virginia one day this week and a move will be made to guarantee every man a fair and impartial trial. If "applause" is cut out of the Congressional Record there will be nothing to it. LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 publican , 1912. VOLUME XVIII, NUMBER 53. 1912. VOLUME XVIII, NUMBER 53. St. Patrick's Day in the morning falling on Sunday the bottle business next Saturday is expected to be unprecedented. To be sure the coal industry is paralyzed in England, but not one half so badly paralyzed as the shivering humanity for the lack of coal. Roosevelt forces in Seattle have begun a fight among themselves. That seems to be a wilful waste of wind, gentlemen, as Taft is certain of carrying the state. If all barbers, who talk too much, should be divorced by their wives as did a San Francisco wife the divorce mills would have to work overtime to get through. Washington is to have another bad Case of political scrimmage over the governorship. With such men as Otto A. and Our Bob in the mix-up it is bound to be a bad mess of poisoned purps. Perhaps one might sing that blessed old hymn, "On Jordan's stormy banks I stand and cast a wishful eye," which our mothers and grandmothers used to sing with so much religious rervor, too loud, but in our opinion to do such a thing one would have to be differently constituted than any one we have ever yet met. Rival jealousy that grew out of the alleged discovery of the north pole is to be repeated in the reported discovery of the south pole. Dr. Cook and Commodore Peary railed at each other like two tomeats at a midnight lunch and now Amundsen and Capt. Scott are shaping themselves to give the world a similar exhibition. We seriously doubt if either of the poles has as yet been reached. There is hardly any doubt but that Gill and Cotterill ran on platforms diametrically opposed to each other, but, in our opinion, not to the extent as declared the Cashmere Grange, an organization of farmers, to classify them as Righteousness and Unrighteousness and the latter won, and yet outsiders might have gotten that idea from Mr. Gill's past record and his persistent refusal on the stump to promise better for the future. Dying of consumption is the reported state of health is James B. McNamara, which has been hastened by the dust of the jute mill. It's brutal beyond expression to force that or any other human being even in a penitentiary to perform any kind of labor that kills him or her by degrees. We suggest to the prison officials that they take such unfortunates out and either shoot them or put them to doing some kind of work that will be more in keeping with their physical strength. --- --- POLITICS AND POLITICIANS John H. Schively, he of much political notoriety in the past, also came to town this week and he, like all the other politicians, quartered at the Arlington Hotel. Jack says, "I not only hope to come back, but will come back, my critics to the contrary notwithstanding." However often he is knocked down he comes up smiling so pleasantly that, you get ashamed to knock him down any more and turn to and help him get up as well as to stay up. He has already announced his candidacy for insurance commissioner to succeed himself and he says, "I have sufficient assurance to justify me in saying, I will continue doing the state's insurance business." Andrew Olsen, no relation to Ole Olson, to whom "something surely happened," as was related in last week's Seattle Republicans who resides in Ellensburg, and was twice elected to the house of representatives from Kittitas County, spent a portion of the past week in Seattle, but carefully dodged the political pie-maker of this paper. From a different source, however, it was learned that Andrew feels like "coming back," and he was in Seattle watching the big political game that was being pulled off by state politicians. He has not fully decided whether he will cast his lot with Gov. Hay or Would-be-Gov. Lawrence, but it looks as if it will be with the latter. Oscar Caine, the U. S. district attorney for eastern Washington, was in Seattle presumably on official business one day this week, but being on official business did not prevent him from renewing past political acquaintanees and even making new ones, for Oscar is an ambitious little cuss and may want to go to Congress some day, and he always has an eye single to personal aggrandizement. He succeeded J. B. Lindsley because he fought for Jones while Lindsley fought for Ankeny, and to the victor belong the spoils. Mr. Caine in the past has always been an ardent admirer of John L. Wilson and if Jones and Wilson split, which seems a foregone conclusion, politicians are beginning to ask each other, with whom will Caine line up? Jay Thomas, who styles himself a political publicity man, is one of the most amoosing little red headed cusses that the Northwest boasts of. In every political scrap Jay is always to be found in the thickest of the fight and yet he has never been known to win a victory. He, perhaps, is one of the most mercinary imps that ever cajoled a dollar out of an unsuspecting victim. In politics he is neither fish nor fowl, but quite foul enough to get the dough, the only aim he has in life and yet he never has any of it long at a time, but that's the luck of all grafters. The politician who has Jay Thomas tagging after him is borrowing unnecessary political trouble. Charles F. Hubbard, state labor commissioner, was seen on the streets of Seattle one day this week and as he strutted up and down the thronging thoroughfares it was THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN simply killing to see him swell up and throw his chest back as he would approach some one who seem to recognize him. Mr. Hubbard would come strictly under that classification of white men styled by the Negroes of the south as "po whit rash" and designated by the leading whites as, "half strainers," who by some hook or crook had all of a hundred dollars in his pocket, and if it was about to set his whole body on fire. This tribe of hermophredites are always nauseating to behold. Perry Niles, one of the leading politicians of Everett, and who, in years past, attained more or less political fame, is seeking the Republican nomination for state land commissioner. By profession he is a civil engineer and he is in Seattle this week surveying the political field and he says, "My bearings are good and my lines well defined." Mr. Niles has a host of political friends and admirers in Seattle and he is doing the wise thing by endeavoring to extend his political acquaintances in King County. Local pride will undoubtedly give him a big vote in Snohomish County and with King favoring him he has a big lead over his opponents. John C. Lawrence, who hopes to be governor of Washington and succeed Gov. Hay, has spent the most of the week in Seattle doing a political stunt. Mr. Lawrence is one of those frank, free and easy politicians that you seldom cross in the political game, and after you have talked with him you kind er like him, not so much for what he said, but the way he said what he did say. "I can't say that I am opening political headquarters in Seattle just now, but I am making preparations to have Seattle my base of operation and mail receiving point," said he. He is quartered at the Arlington. J. E. Frots, who announces, "My hat is in the Congressional ring and all things working well. I will follow my hat in the very near future," is an old time political stager, but always has been of a rather progressive turn. He was a leader in Ellensburg for many years, where he achieved much local political fame. When State Auditor Grimes died in the McGraw administration he was appointed to succeed him. He was nominated by the Republicans to succeed himself, but was beaten as was the entire Republican ticket by the Free Silver party. He returned to Ellensburg and attended strictly to business until he was named as a member of the state tax commission by Gov. Mead, which position he now holds. Pliny L. Allen, a leading printer-politician of Seattle, has recently returned from California, whither he went ostensibly to attend a Printers' Coast Congress and incidentally for a month's rest and recreation from years of active business. "I have only been home a few days and am not fully in touch with the political situation, but within a few days I mean to buckle on my political armor and go out to do battle for Gov. Hay's nomination and election to succeed himself. I intend to open headquarters in the Friday, March 15, 1912 Hinckley block in the near future and at once enter into a vigorous campaign. I observe the publishers of King County have organized, which is right and proper and whatever dealings I have with the local publishers will be through the organization." Mr. Allen has been twice elected a member of the state senate and has an extensive political acquaintance. He believes Gov. Hay will get enough first choice votes to win the fight. John B. Murphy, one of Seattle's leading legal practitioners, has just returned from a sojourn in Arizona and California, and is the picture of health on account of his outing. "There is little or no difference in the status of business in the south than here. A general financial depression seems to prevail all over the country. I hear there was an election in Seattle. How about it?" George H. Hurley of Loomis, Washington, who for four years was state senator from that district, and who was subsequently sergeant-at-arms of the senate, has been shaking hands with political friends in Seattle for the past week. Mr. Hurley loves the political game and makes no bones in saying, "I believe in machine politics, though I favor progressiveness being mixed in with it." When asked as to the gubernatorial situation in Okanogan County he said, "It's hard to say whether Gov. Hay or John C. Lawrence is the stronger. In my opinion the farmer, who votes for Hay for first choice will vote for Lawrence for second choice, and those who vote for Lawrence for first choice will vote for Hay for second choice. Neither Taft nor Teddy will have any great amount of the better of it in the county convention and as a result a mixed delegation will go to the state convention. If Roosevelt had have announced his candidacy six months before he did he would have swept the country, but now such is extremely doubtful. I am not much in love with the direct primary, but it has accomplished some good things. But politics out of it, say for me, that Okanogan is the most resourceful county in all Washington and the day is not far distant when Yakima will be as nothing in comparison to her. G. A. Kennedy, formerly state senator from Odessa, was seen on the streets one day this week, but there is nothing remarkable about that, as he has resided in Seattle for the past twelve months, only he keeps away from old political cronies. It is said that Satan lead Jesus Christ, our blessed Lord, to the top of a mountain and showed Him the world and its fullness, and then said, "I will give it all to you, if you will only fall down and worship me." Whereupon the Lord laconically replied, "Get thee behind me, Satan," and Satan faded away. Senator Kennedy was the father of the Kennedy Railroad Rate bill in the senate, which promised to raise practically Hades with the railroads of the state. He was elected as a political Moses for the farmers and he faithfully promised to get them relief from railroad tyranny.

Farrell and other railroad lobbyists got hold of him and in their aeroplane took him to the top of Mt. Rainier and pointed out the green fields of the east, the waiving forests of the west, the rolling rivers of the north and the sleeping waters of the south and finally the richness of the whole and he was promised the con- trol of them all if he would but lay down on his rate bill. Kennedy like the most of hu- manity had his weak days and that happen- ed to be one of them, and he was not able to say to them, ‘“Get thee behind me, Satan,’’ but he threw down his fight. He had no sooner done so than Farrell and the other railroad men denied of even ‘‘knowing the damn man,’’ and his former political friends turned up their noses and looked the other way as he passed.

New York is greatly excited THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the wandering Jew. In conversation now he avoids speaking of his political career and seeks to neither renew old political aequaint- ances or to make new ones, all of which re- minds us, ‘‘honesty is the best policy.’’ John Corbett, for many years a member of the police force of Seattle, has been final- ly fired and that too without pension, but as balm to his wounded heart he consoles himself with having so husbanded his pick- ings while in the office to step out worth a quarter of a million dollars as a legacy for his faithful work. We do not say John has been dishonest in office, but when we think of the wages he got and the money he has the story of the Negro and the Jew is brought very forcibly to our memory. Down in Mississippi a Negro persisted in trading with a Jew, which very much annoyed an Anglo-Saxon, who was always lecturing the Negro for trading with the Jew where he re RMR Ses ORS band ers en NS IY Eid 6 sine? a ae GS, TESS SS Ma's SE Bea usin Se nk One es Lay eas et eae eS ee anne eo.

One day he saw the Negro coming from the Jew store with a small parcel in his hands and he at once began to reprimand him. ‘‘I will bet you have been cheated,’’ exclaimed the Anglo- Saxon in language more positive than polite. The Negro admitted he had only bought and paid for a pound of sugar and saw no chance for having been cheated, but the sugar was put on the scales and found to be only three- fourths of a pound. The Negro stood in a meditative state completely dumbfounded at having lost a quarter of a pound of sugar, when a happy thought came to him, and with a smile that showed a set of white pearls that would have made Roosevelt beat it to the jungles of Africa, he said, ‘‘ Well, while he was cheating me out of dat quarter of a pound of sugar I got dese,’’ pulling out a pair of number twelve stogy shoes he had stuffed into his bosom while the weighing process was going on. 3 Western mothers are said to be trying to prevent their sons read- ing dime novels about the ‘‘ Wild East.’’—Baltimore Sun.

REPUBLICAN Friday, Mareh 15, 1912. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM By A. C. McBRIDE The two great dailies of Seattle that were so vigorously neutral in the fight between Gill and Cotterill ought to take off their hats in the presence of the bright little Star of Seventh Avenue, but they don’t. Roosevelt favors the recall of unpopular judicial decisions. With all his fautls, I love him still. Chief Deputy Caldwell made a very good showing in his race for corporation counsel, but not as good by any means as his ability deserved. SARS AM a OY Mayor Cotterill’s conversation to the pub- lie pleases me. Senator Lodge and President Taft are against the recall of judges, but it is com- ing just the same. Only one thifg can and will check the sentiment in that direction and that is for judges to be honest and con- scientious. The man who throws himself back in a chair and sticks his feet up on the desk may have more breakfast food under his hat than gray matter, but a man with rheumatism in his feet will still continue to rest them in that manner. The defeat of the Bogue Civie plans will probably give Seattle its fourth scyscraper. The fifty thousand dollars spent on the plans is gone, but the report of the committee ‘‘ye have always with ye.’’ The Rainier valley now has the best street ear service in the city. It seems that the nickel fare and transfers are to continue un- til the publie service commission tackles the question. I wonder how the city couniclmen would vote on the recall of the corporation counsel ? The work of that office on the telephone merger gives a man who voted for Bradford a bad taste in his mouth. With two candidates for governor and one for lieutenant governor, Seattle isn’t doing so badly. There is a scrap on between Judges Gor- don and Brown for the police judgeship. A good man is bound to win in this contest. Harry Carrol has named Jim Agnew for his chief deputy. It is lucky for the new controller that this appointment was kept from the public prior to the election. solace a Gf a a Rs Na Robert Bridges, a member of the Port Commission, is almost daily grilled by the newspapers owing to his persistent opposi- tion to the Bush terminals fraud. The Com- mercial Club and the Municipal League after a thorough, painstaking investigation, recom- emnded against the proposition, and the at- tacks on Mr. Bridges are unwarranted. As a public utility, the terminals will not be needed for the next fifty years. As a private enterprise, it would be the most gigantic monopoly on the Pacific coast. In New York, the Bush people have gobbled up all the shipping and charge an exorbitant rate for wharfage, which is becoming a positive de- triment to the city. They even control the drayage from the terminals, and will allow none but their own drays to remove any freight and the minimum rate is one dollar, if it is not more than a five pound package, and the distance a block. To construct the Bush terminals at this time would decrease the value of all our dock facilities at least fifty per cent. New York got along without the terminals for some 300 years and now wishes to get them out of the hands of their owners. The people voted for them owing to a lack of information on the subject. The two greatest commercial clubs in the city understand the scheme and promptly turned it down as an Orchard Bond get rich quick concern. Don’t be deceived. Stay with Robert Bridges. I am at a loss to understand why there is such a determined opposition to extending the recall to judges. The constitution of the United States and I believe the constitution of every state in the Union has made provi- sion for the recall of judges by impeachment. It will be found in Art. V, Section 1 of our own constitution, but it mever was, and never will be an adequate reemdy because the various courts of impeachment are com- posed of politicians, who, like many of our judges, have no regard for their official oaths. Not long ago I asked one of the best judges in the state what could be done to improve our courts and his answer was ‘“‘take them out of polities.’’ That is next to impossible so long as they are elected by the people, and make the judiciary appoint- ive, and a political governor will appoint politicians to the bench and we will have the “same old thing.’? From Maine to California, the demand is made for better, but more conscientious judges. No one will deny that there should be an improvement, and all the people want to know is how a reformation can be brought about. Impeachment is a flat failure. The next best is the recall. Why not give it a trial? Judges are only men. Hither one of two things will make a man or a judge better—the fear of God, and the fear of man. I believe the recall will instill the latter into the heart of a judge. The Supreme Court of the United States will probably recall its own decision in a recent case before that body. The decision was to the effect that the patentee of a prod- uct could fix the price by contract.

Thomson, who has tendered his resignation as engineer for the Port of Seattle, will after April 1st make preparations to travel extensively through Europe with the view of recuperating his shattered health, brought on by continuous engineering work for Seattle since 1892. As has been repeatedly pointed out in these columns Mr. Thomson is more responsible for the magnificent city that Seattle is than any other one person and as she continues to grow in importance she will year by year become more a living monument to his labors. That the reader may thoroughly realize what an important factor he has been in the growth of Seattle the following brief review of his engineering work will be of general interest to all: After the election for city officers in the spring of 1892, when an examination of pubic work under construction was made, it was found that the most important project then in hand was a great sewer tunnel intended to run from the south end of Lake Union to the bay near the foot of Denny Way. Examination made by the new officers showed that only one-half of the excavation had been made, no lining had been done, the tunneling work at a standstill, a life had been lost by drowning in the tunnel, more than twice the original estimated cost had been spent, and chaos reigned. As a public inquiry had to find out what was wrong Thomson seemed to be the only man who understood the conditions, whose testimony the court could understand, and who did not want the job. As a result when the reorganization took place he was urged to take the position of city engineer. He finally consented and went to work to reorganize the tunnel work. Ignoring all politics he took an old mining friend, Ed Morgan, and with a quietness so characteristic of the man put the work on a scientific basis and made a wonderful success of the work. No accident ever befell his work. At the same time there had been a beginning made on a tunnel to drain the Rainier Valley out to the tide flats near Hanford Street. Thomson refused to His next great work was building this power plant. He promised if given five hundred and eighty thousand dollars to put three thousand horse power of electricity on city wires in the city. Instead he put four thousand horsepower, and laid the foundation for one of the most unique and successful plants in the country. He was first to recommend brick as the best pavement for business streets in Seattle. By wonderful persistence he succeeded in getting several streets paved with that ```markdown ``` Friday, March 15, 1912. is the law, trust prosecutions will in many cases fail. President Taft is very much excited over the matter, and having appointed the majority of the judges, it is possible that he may use his "inflooence" as Lincoln did proceed with work on this tunnel until he could get authority to enlarge its size to about double its proposed capacity, and to change its grade. As planned it was to come out at sea level at Twelfth Avenue South. Thomson insisted the tide flats would be filled some time, to a point at least a mile and a half further west, and that the tunnel must be put enough higher to drive the sewage to the end of the fill. To do this a vote of the people was necessary. He got this, but people who voted to permit the change did so more to get the work to go ahead than anything else, calling his idea of a mile and a half fill as a dream. Strangely enough, three years later, when the tide lands were platted, provision was made to make the fill to exact distance Thomson had said, and his dream came true. Although he enlarged the size of the tunnel, he built it for just seventy-five per cent of the estimated cost, instead of at the three times estimated cost of the Lake Union tunnel, and that too in what was said to be worse ground. This success gave him such a hold on the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN when the greenback suit was before that court. In the latter case, a northern democrat, during the civil war, undertook to defeat the north by cutting off the money supply, by having the act that authorized the is- people that they sustained him against tremendous odds when he recommended bringing water from Cedar River. He promised to bring about twenty-three million gallons of mountain water from Cedar River for a million and a quarter dollars. Experts from the East said it woud cost that much to clear the right of way, but he not only brought the water in for less than the estimate, but also bought the control of Cedar Lake and Cedar Falls, and several thousand acres of land, and laid the foundation for building the Cedar River power plant. sue of greenbacks declared unconstitutional. As a matter of law, the act was unconstitutional and was only sustained as a war measure. At the present time we would call it on the grounds of public welfare. Service material, and so successfully that his methods have been copied all over the country. As a side issue he took up the question of the destruction of garbage, and has built some garbage destructors which have been visited and copied by experts of international repute, and which are referred to in text books as model works. All of these works have been carried on with thoroughness and remarkabe economy. While doing these other things he has changed the face of the town by grades and regrades, so as to create the possibility of a wonderful city. He has paved about 175 miles of streets, laid 400 miles of water mains, 600 miles of sewers and more than a 1000 miles of sidewalks and removed over 20,000,000 cubic yards of earth. These works have cost about forty million dollars. About six months ago he became engineer for the Port Commission, and it was thought he would build our port, but he now says the confinement of office work is proving too severe, and that he must find some outdoor employment. --- Officers E.
