Of course the Sunset Telephone Company is willing to do "anything reasonable," but that means anything that is reasonable from the telephone company's standpoint. When it gets a complete conopoly of the telephone business in Seattle then it will be unreasonable for it to give to its patrons telephone service for less than $6 monthly for resident phones and $12 for business phones. As has been previously pointed out in these columns the local officials of the Sunset Telephone Company have already devised a hundred and one different ways and means to rob its patrons to the tune of multiplied thousands of dollars each year and it is doing it, and wherever the local officials of the telephone trust are as successful in grafting the public as these in Seattle have been in the interest of the trust such a station at once becomes one which requires a $10,000 man to preside over and the rise or fall of his future salary depends on whether he can do more toward robbing the patrans than is already in operation or keep it up to its present lick. When Maurace McMicken says to the members of the city council, "You are inconsistent in your actions toward the Sunset Telephone Company," which, in less polite language is they are damphools, because they do not permit him to dictate to them so as to give the telephone company the city with a fence around it, he is parrot-like repeating what his money masters have told him to say. Maurace McMicken never works for anything or anybody but some corporation king or some illegal trust. Maurace McMicken would not hesitate to turn over every vested right of the state, county and city to corporate greed just so he got a fat salary for his soft peddling. It was Maurace McMicken and E. C. Hughes, who were sent by a friend to buy a newspaper, who, after the thing was partially tied up, peremptorally demanded of the friend a half interest for making the deal, but finally took a quarter, when the "friend" refused to give up the half. If the members of the city council trust Maurice McMicken as far as any one of them can throw a ten-year-old bull by the tail, then they will rue the day they ever did. Let the members of the city council stand by their guns and tell Maurace McMicken and his telephone merger to go chase themselves, for remember, Mr. Councilman, Maurace McMicken and his partners no longer control political conventions, and they are fast los- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1912. George Fletcher Cotterill is now mayor of Seattle, and one of the ambitions of his life has been realized. The attainment of this political ambition, however, does not quench his desire to be governor, United States senator and, perhaps, president of the United States. Mr. Cotterill took the oath of office in the Grand Opera House in the presence of a large concourse of admiring citizens, and made a most favorable impression. Mayor Dilling reviewed his foundation work in starting the city out on businesslike avenues, after it had been taken out of the control of the vicious element and it was full of good points and made a splendid showing. Representing and speaking for the ex-mayor, Judge Ronald's short get-together non-partisan talk made a hit with all present. At the close of his brief address he administered the oath of office to Mr. Cotterill, who amid thundering applause stood like a statue that those present could see him as he was and see him as he really felt at that supreme moment of his life. If there were any one in that great concourse of voters who had voted against Mr. Cotterill on the grounds that he was a faddist, his speech should have been quite sufficient to have completely disabused their minds of any such misapprehensions. In the senate Mr. Cotterill was not the whole show as some of his campaign enthusiasts repeatedly declared, but he was conservative, courteous and conscientious, which made him much more popular than the average man "doing time" in the legislature. It is the concensus of opinion among all classes of citizens in Seattle that Mr. Cotterill will continue to build on the foundation so well laid by Mr. Dilling and with the Seattle spirit united and working in perfect unison with him there is no doubt of the success of his administration. James M. Simpson, for many years a Seattle job printer, has leased the San Juan Islander at Friday Harbor and has become a moulder of public opinion. He is an old newspaper man and falls into the harness without jar or friction. He has already gotten out two issues of the paper and from the general appearance of those issues, it is plain to be seen that a master hand is at the helm. He is delighted with his new home and believes he has a splendid field in which to build up a good healthy weekly paper. Frank E. Hart, editor and proprietor of the News of North Bend, is devoting much of his time in helping to perfect the plans for the proposed King County fair and to that end he is often in Seattle attending the meetings of the organization. Mr. Hart ing their pull with the judiciary, and the recall of judges, which is sure to come, will wipe out every vestige of their once powerful influence. VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 2. operates one of the very successful country weeklies of King county, which is located in one of the most fertile and productive sections of the country. He is making masterly efforts to advertise that section of the country and the expected fair will do as much toward it as anything that can be done. M. P. Hurd, who is an old time political war horse of Skagit county, who was for many years a close political crony of Henry McBride, spent a few days in Seattle this week, which must have been more or less responsible for the rumor that, McBride would soon announce his candidacy for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. Henry McBride's intention of entering the gubernatorial fight is perhaps more political conjecture than real facts, but he is a man with a strong personel and if he goes into the fight and Case withdraws from the fight, as it is reported he intends to do, both Governor Hay and John C. Lawrence had better look to their laurels or he will be it. He will have a strong lieutenant in M. P. Hurd. Dan Landon, who was recently elected president of the Roosevelt Club of King county, wants a presidential preferential primary held in the county and he is not alone in it as every Roosevelt supporter is of a like mind. Whether Teddy or Taft wins the fight is of little general consequence, but the people seem to want a preferential primary and, if they want it and demand it, they should have it. Let the majority rule regardless of the man it may want for its standard bearer. Senator Landon is the compromise candidate for the presidency of the Roosevelt club of the county and a most excellent compromise is he. He won the state senatorship by having good friends in the other fellows' camps, and unless Daniel breaks himself away he is liable to find himself in congress under the same political auspices. He is one of the industrious as well as successful attorneys of the King County Bar Association and it begins to look as if a bright future awaits him. J. D. Bassett, formerly state senator from Ritzville, now a Spokane capitalist, has been a Seattle visitor the most of the week and while his visit to the city is nothing out of his ordinary business routine, yet he is deeply interested in the candidacy of Harry Rosenhaupt for congress from at large, he was in Seattle feeling the public pulse as to Rosenhaupt's chances. He was twice elected to the houses of representatives of the Washington legislature and once to the senate and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that, no member of the legislature did more effective work than he. His committee work commanded the admiration and respect of the entire Seatlle Needs California Publicity 7 eee membership of the legislature. ‘‘I am out of polities,’ he declares, ‘‘and in future will look after my private business.’’ Roosevelt, however, came back after he had declared he would not, and he may come to the con- clusion he is no better than Theodore Roose- velt. W. G. Potts, smiling Billy, with the glad hand, is one of the happy men of Seattle these days, and all because the Arlington is the political headquarters of the aspiring Republican state candidates. It often hap- pens that three and four candidates for the same state office are stopping at the Arling- ton at the same time and Billie cons them all and each one of them goes away with the idea that, Senator Potts will surely plug for his candidacy. He has twice been elected to the senate from Seattle and he knows every man in the state who dabbles in politics. For some time he seriously contemplated run- ning for governor and then the buzz of the lieutenant-governorship bee hummed_ en- L. H. Gray has returned to his home after spending four months visiting various points of in- terest in California and Mexico. ‘‘Say for me that with all of her boasted Seattle spirit this city is asleep in the way of proper publicity. Not less than 2,000 tourists arrive in Los Angeles every day and the whole country is alive with men and women with money to invest in real estate and business enter- prises and if properly directed some of them would come to Seattle. I would like for the business men of Seattle through their commercial bodies to em- ploy at this season of the year not less than a dozen wide awake men and station them at the various resorts of California well supplied with literature with the view of enlightening those sojourners in the South of Seattle’s good points, and in my opin- ion many of the Easterners would make their return trip through Seattle. Seattle is almost like the de- serted city in comparison to Los Angeles and on ac- count of the lethargy of the publicity men her pros- pects for the summer, aside from the potlateh fes- tival, which will only attract local people, seem to promise nothing better. Business will be dull as long as there is no money to stimulate it and there will be no money unless men and women with money bring it here for investment. Those of us who live here know the worth of the country, but until we decide to make its worth known to outsiders it will be, from a commercial standpoint, a great country, but surrounded with a seemingly unsurmountable wall. I do not mean to deery the Golden Potlatch festival, but a dozen men in California, during the tourist season, with lots of Seattle literature and a shalf page in a few of the California daily papers well filled with wholesome advertising about Seattle and her surrounding country would bring to the city ten thousand times more dollars for investment than the potlatch can ever even dream of doing. Do not think me an excitable enthusiast on this point for I am not, and I speak as I have after hay- ing spent weeks and months among those tourists and heard them talk of Seattle be- long b ing located somewhere in the far Northwest becom where it rains nine months in the year. In_ ern Ce the mid-winter Southern California is a most the tr charming place but there is no reason why certair some of the thronging thousands to that see- prises tion should not at least return home by Se- my tr THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN chantingly in his ear, but he has not as yet 1 decided to even enter that race. If, however, J he does those who have already entered the p race will have to set up and take notice. He t has never made a primary fight, but he says, —b “7 think I can make just as successful pri- — 1 mary fight as I did delegate fight in years $ past.’’ The senator, however, is entirely to« f busy looking after the comfort of his po- n litical guests to discuss or consider his own ni political future and so he gives you that ¢ broad bland child-like smile with, ‘‘I’ll seen you later,’’ and passes on to the next. Lester Turner and his two associates as trustees in bankruptcy of the Western Steel Company, the defunct institution of James A. Moore, must be the happiest men in all Seattle just now, as they have been relieved by the ourt from drawing $25 per day, a most irksome duty, as neither of them need- ed the money and only acepted the trust for the benefit of those whose interests were in- volved. The first report of the receivers long before the Puget Sound country would — fc become as great a summer resort as is South. g ern California a winter resort. While I made _ is the trip ostensibly for pleasure, yet I feel a certain I interested a few persons in enter- a prises in the Northwest, which will result in w my trip being one of business as well as fc pleasure. I was repeatedly asked by tourists he i ar v March 22, 1912. reflected ‘‘very muchly’’ on the integrity of Mr. Moore, but that did not meet public ap- proval and so the trustees decided to drop the attacks. Lester Turner is reported to be one of Seattle’s ready cash men and is no longer interested in money making, and the $8,000 he has made as receiver of the de- funct institution will be used in building a monument to the man that has been instru- mental in bringing the greatest amount of construction capital to Seattle. Who is the man? C. F. Clapp, one of the rich men of the Northwest, who spends his winters in Cali- fornia, returned from the South last Satur- day. ‘‘During the most of my stay in the South I enjoyed a delightful outing, but to- ward the last I suffered from an attack of gout. California is full of tourists from all over the country. I can not explain why some of them do not come to the Northwest on their return trips, but they do not do it and the worst of it they seem to have little for Seattle literature, but not a line could I get in any of the hotels or newsstands. It is seldom a press dispatch is even seen under a Seattle headline, and I repeat, Seattle from a publicity standpoint is a dead one. Wake up Mr. Ad Club and let the tourists in Cali- fornia know what a grand country we have here, i aE i See a Wappenstein Must go to the Penetentiary March 22, 1912 or no knowledge of Seattle's existence. Once in the southern part of California and Seattle's only a remembrance. You not only do not see any Seattle literature, but you never see even an Associated Press dispatch under a Seattle date line. I do not know why this is, but it is, and I suggest that business men of Seattle take some steps toward advertising the city among the thousands of tourists who annually flock to Southern California for the winter. There is no reason in my mind, why at least some of those tourists could not be induced to visit this section on their return trips to home." Edward C. Cheasty, one of Seattle's leading business men and for some years deeply interested in the development of Seattle's parks, is ten years younger today than he was a month ago and all because the park board, after a couple of years of stormy drifting, is again in a normal condition and safely anchored, and the work of giving Seattle the finest park system of any city in the West will proceed along the lines it was begun. The personel of the board, with the exception of Ed Shrewsberry, is the same Some one once wisely said, "The mills of the gods grind slow, but exceedingly fine," and the editor of The Seattle Republican feels like at this time saying amen! and that, there is more truth than poetry in the epigram. It was in 1900, in Seattle, and under the Humes administration, when Billie Meredith, chief of the police, and Charles W. Wappenstein, chief of the detective force, threw open the gates of the city to the thieves and thugs of the world, and for the privilege of operating on her streets by day and by night unmolested, they only had to turn over to Chief Meredith and his able assistant, a certain per cent of their ill-gotten gains. Things may have been bad, yea even deplorable, under Hiram Charles Gill, but they were nothing in comparison to what they were under Thomas Jefferson Humes, when the Clancys bossed the gambling and the chief of police and his right hand detective controlled the crooks, thugs and thieves while the whole putrid human aggregation paid tribute to George U. Piper, general business manager of the Post-Intelligencer. All hands made hay while the sun shone and for the unwary enroute to or from the Alaska gold fields to get out of the city with a dollar was almost as utterly impossible as for a snowball to fly through hades. There may have been somewhere in this wide world worse and more despicable hells' half acres than was Seattle under such high handed domination, but if so, they were few and far apart. The law abiding citizens of the town wrung their hands in utter despair for relief, but saw no way of obtaining it. The daily papers were profiting from the chaotic condition of the city and had not a condemnatory word for the awful state of affairs, and with the two daily papers silenced, it was almost worth the life of an editor of a weekly paper to lodge even a partial protest against the gang's outlawry. But we read, "fools rush in where angels fear to tread," and we suspect that, the editor of The Seattle Republican at that time occupied just such a position, as he each THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN now as it was before it was so violently disturbed by Mayor Gill, and Mr. Cheasty smiles as he says, "I believe in the eternal fitness of things, and when you do your fellow man a wrong in some way you will have to either mentally or physically pay the penalty. In other words, I firmly believe in the doctrine of, 'he who sins must suffer.' Mayor Dilling reappointed Mr. Cheasty on the park board, from which he was removed, and now Mayor Cotterill has reappointed A. B. Ernst on the board, who was also removed by Mayor Gill. All things oeme to him who waits." John Edward Hawkins, a well-known Seattle attorney, died last Thursday night, and his demise meant the passing of by odds the most widely known Negro of the Northwest. Splendid good fellow was he, with friends by the scores among all classes, colors and conditions. His twenty-five years' residence in Seattle have been years of activity and usefulness. His death will be as widely, if not more so, regretted among the whites as among the blacks. In years past he was a political lieutenant of Gov. McGraw, L. S. J. Hunt, Fred Grant, R. M. Kinnear and other week exposed the high crimes and misdemeanors, being carried on in Seattle, with all the force and energy he could drive into the columns of his paper. Chief Meredith, sore at having his nefarious methods exposed, and further made bold by the silence of the daily papers would not consent to brook any opposition from an insignificant weekly, and after an issue of the paper had been circulated, which but mildly intimated Meredith was a grafter, he went on the warpath and by and with the consent of Mayor Humes, Jus- [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie and a mustache]. tice of Peace Thomas H. Cann and Prosecuting Attorney Fulton, at midnight Saturday caused to be arrested the editor of the offending weekly on a charge of criminal libel and demanded a cash bail of $500, which on account of the lateness of the hour it took James D. Hodge, president of the First National Bank, and A. B. Stewart, president of the Stewart & Holmes Drug Company, four hours to get the required amount. The whole proceedings was more the acts of political leaders who flourished from time to time. For many years he was a member of every county and state convention held in Washington. He was loyal to his friends and his great big, kind heart made him merciful to his enemies. Peace to his ashes. The Seattle Republican makes a specialty of legal publications, and it would appreciate a call from you, Mr. Attorney, if when you have a notice to be published you will give it a trial. It gives you prompt and perfect service, which relieves the attorney from all worry about his publication. Let us hear from you by telephone and we will do the rest. Call Main 305.

R. insists that the rule of reason must be employed in the interpretation of his pledge not to accept another term unrer any circumstances.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Mr. Charles Wilbur de Lyon Nicholas says that there are only 466 persons in American fashionable society. If that's really all, things are not nearly so bad as we had feared.—Philadelphia North American. Chinese highbinders than white civilization but the men were desperate. This, however, proved to be the feather that broke the camel's back and the pendulum of public opinion began to swing from the whole Humes administration and the hand of retribution soon began to fall heavily on the various leaders thereof. Meredith was shot to death while trying to kill one, who had only told the truth about him while on the witness stand. He had lived a life of shame and met a horrible death. Thomas Humes failed of re-election, was indicted for malfeasance in office and chagrined at public censure, buried himself among the boulders of Alaska, where he died a pauper. Charles W. Wappenstein dodged the hand of fate a little longer, but now the highest court of the state has practically said to him, "You must spend the balance of your life in the penitentiary," which was for practicing the same tricks as was Meredith charged with 12 years ago. The arresting officer, _____, who abused the accused editor without caused or justification is still "doing" everybody he can, but we expect to live long enough to see him either decked out in stripes or meet a violet death. Judge Cann was given the alternative of resigning on the spot or himself having to face a court of justice. Prosecuting Attorney Fulton failed of re-election and was subsequently indicted for malfeasance in office as was Judge Cann. It's a long lane that has no turn and Wappenstein now fully realizes it. All the way from Cincinnati to Seattle Wappenstein has been charged with getting to be a police officer for the opportunity it afforded him to get the money and he has been very successful in side-stepping the strong arm of the law, but it finally caught him and it means the balance of his life in prison unless executive clemency extricates him from his legal entanglements. It is, however, the concensus of opinion that Wappenstein is the "goat" of the Gill administration, but he threatens to bear the load all alone, and, like Abe Reuf, do the penance for the bunch. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM Senator Dan Landon's smile captures all of them. Will George II go to his lunch in a city automobile? Ex-Senator Piles is the meekest, quietest politician in Seattle. Who will the Star finally name for chief of police under George II? There is no telling what that bright little evening Star may do to Sheriff Hodge. Some of those people who didn't vote for Caldwell for corporation counsel wish they had. President Taft advises all Americans to leave old Mexico. He will need all of them in his race for president. My old friend Clayson is the very worst kind of a Roosevelt man. His last week's article on the ex-president is a gem. The report will not down that Ed. Cudihee will be a candidate for sheriff. His candidacy will surely mean his election. If you contemplate going into the chicken business and want to make it profitable beyond the possibility of a doubt, sell the feed. The picture of Judge Johu F. Miller in the morning paper of last Tuesday utterly fails to increase my admiration for the man. The decision in the Wappenstein case ought to be a good one considering the length of time it has taken to prepare it. Times are getting better since Cotterill was elected mayor. As soon as the banks loosen up, there will be further improvement. Making up the statement of facts in the Wappenstein case was the work of an artist, but its artistic qualities were entirely overlooked by the supreme court. Bryan and Wilson sent George II telegrams congratulating him on his election, from which I infer that Seattle is regarded as a Democratic city. Political organizations ought to commence early in demanding reform in resolutions. More than three "whereases" should never be permitted in one of them. The court house is a hotbed of candidates. Nine out of ten of the clerks are in the race for some office. The good thing connected with the candidacy of these men is that they are very competent men. There is a new man on the Supreme Court bench named Ellis. I don't know where Governor Hay found him, but he is all right. His decisions are logical and well written. Watch him grow. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN PEOPLE'S F By A. C. McBRIDE What the cities of Washington need more than anything else is home rule. Read the history of New York City under the domination of the state legislature. The candidacy of T. R. gives the staid old P.-I. the shivers. If the stalwarts will join the progressives in a request for a direct presidential primary, T. R. would lick the former to a frazzle in Washington. One of the beauty spots of Seattle will be found down by the depots. Twenty years ago that section was called White and Black Chapel. No, you have never had a restricted district since the buildings in that part of the city were razed. If Mayor Cotterill doesn't give the telephone merger a shaking up, I will withdraw my claims to being the son of a prophet. He has a council that will back him and if the corporation counsel lays down, he better be recalled. Work on bringing the north end of Rainier avenue up to grade has commenced. A steam shovel and two trains will make short work of the job if the board of public works and the courts will let the contractors go ahead. John E. Humphries doesn't look like a man who would indulge in rough house methods with the Supreme Court. A newspaper report indicates that peace and harmony does not prevail between the two bodies. Washington needs a new constitution one that will extend self-government to cities of the first class. Our twenty-two year old constitution has been so badly shot to pieces by the courts that it should be supplanted by a new one, or be taken to a blacksmith shop for repairs. George Revelle led the fight for the railroad and navigation committee before the Commercial Club a few weeks ago, and like Casey in the football game at Mudville, at the critical moment, when the goal lay to the east, he ran to the west. George is a good scrapper in court, but he laid down in the Commercial Club. "Tell it to Sweeney," is what a rattle-brained young man told one of our superior court judges when being sentenced last week. The usual diatribes indulged in by some courts in passing judgment on conviction would be more appropriately told to "Sweeny" than to the galleries. The recall of a judge, sheriff, prosecuting attorney and clerk of the circuit court in Virginia county last week will be regarded with much disfavor by the judiciary of the United States. No claim having been made that the defendant was not accorded a fair trial, shooting the judge and prosecuting attorney meets with my most earnest disapproval. --- March 22. 1912 Just a word to the man or women who puts out a garden. Potatoes are liable to be scaly or scabby, and to avoid this, put your seed potatoes for two hours in a solution of a pint of formaldehyde to fifteen gallons of water and your crop will be as smooth and slick as a Republican flag pole. A legal publication recently stated that a western court fined a lawyer ten dollars for contempt of court. The attorney's hearing being defective, did not fully comprehend what was being done to him, and he stepped up to the clerk and inquired, what the judge said. "He fined you ten dollars for contempt of court," the clerk replied. "That's a just debt," said the lawyer, "I'll pay it," and he did. The Wappenstein case has been affirmed by the supreme court. The opinion was written by Judge Ellis and discusses eight assignments of error. The prevailing opinion among the lawyers was that the case would be reversed and sent back for a retrial. Judges Dunbar, Morris and two other justices concurred in the decision which is a strong argument in favor of its justness. Some of the members of the Roosevelt Club wanted a follower of La Follette thrown out of the hall at the meeting Tuesday evening. He was a strong, husky young man, no one seemed anxious for the job. The alleged intruder was truly diplomatic and was loudly cheered when he sat down by closing his address with the statement that, if he couldn't have La Follette, he was for the Rough Rider Colonel. All good people should mourn with those who mourn, and rejoice with those who rejoice, and just at this time, Judge Gilliam is entitled to, and has my sincere commissionation. All the unfortunate and unpleasant contempt proceedings seem to be stuffed off on him. Such at least is the case, with there where a strict adherence to duty is liable to create a wrong public impression and leave a judge in an unenviable light. A judge should be upheld—not condemned, for a strict enforcement of the law. Few are the judges who have the judicial temperament more admirably developed than has Judge Albertson, but a hysterical woman litigant put the jurist ocompletely out of business for a time the first part of this week, and his chambers were converted into a hospital. During his term of office the judge has tackled everything in the line of a lawsuit, and in all cases he steadily maintained his composure, but this time he went down to defeat. If George II will make a trip down the Rainier Boulevard and view the numerous piles of lumber along the adjoining property of the street car tracks that are being used in constructing homes, he will hustle up the municipal car line. A second car line is necessary, regardless of the fact that the Seattle Renton & Southern is giving a firstclass service. March 22, 1912. Roosevelt's Ananias Club is rapidly increasing in membership. Just why this organization should be named after the ancient tax jumper, I never could understand. They never have been able to prove that old Ananias told more than one lie. Most any of us can smash that record into smithereens. The declaration of independence issued by Candidate Case is a good one, and is overwhelmingly loaded with insurgent principles. If Mr. Case could succeed in putting his ideas into successful operation, it would drive every old line politician either out of the state or into the bay. It took twenty years to pry some of the King county politicians loose and they wouldn't believe the trick was turned until Poindexter was elected senator. Congressman Humphrey is still in the contest as a successor to Judge Donworth, Senator Jones is making the fight of his life for him, and the Seattle bar association seems to have thus far been able to prevent his appointment. The objection that Humphrey is incompetent is not meritorious. Appointing politicians to the federal bench has been one of the tenets of the Republican party since the death of Lincoln, which the bar association has apparently overlooked. The Cleveland appointments were the best we have had in fifty years. I believe Roosevelt appreciates the mistakes he made in his appointments, but Taft never will. Roosevelt men are much misunderstood. They want the colonel for president, but they will be satisfied with any other good progressive. If La Follette is a stronger man than Roosevelt, no doubt he will be agreeable to 95 per cent of the progressive element. They believe that the country has been made better by the progressive ideas that Roosevelt inaugurated, and the opposition to Taft is that he has failed to advance these principles. The fact is that Taft ought to be a Democrat. His vaccillating and blundering course reminds one of Democratic imbecility for the past fifty years. Ex-Mayor Gill absented himself from the platform at the inaugural exercises last Monday. In so doing, Mr. Gill did himself and his friends a wrong. The ex-mayor has nothing to be ashamed of in his recent contest. Three hundred and seventy-five more votes could have elected him, which he failed to get through mismanagement of friends and supporters. "Hi" should have taken a position on the stage with the other ex-mayors. In his campaign speeches, Mr. Gill admonished the voters to give the man elected a fair trial—a fair show and it would have been the nice thing to have repeated this request last Monday noon. Is Gill dead? No, neither dead or buried. Wait and see. The friends of Copeland wish to have him pardoned and steps in that direction have been taken. He was convicted for shooting a man that he claimed had been stealing his chickens. The case was tried before Judge Ronald, and J. J. McCafferty defended. I have been up against it awful hard several times in my career as a prosecutor. The old THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Seattle bar, headed by that "wonder," Col. James Hamilton Lewis, used to pound me around until I thought life was but an empty dream, but I don't remember of ever going up against such a fighting machine as McCafferty carries under his hat, in all my life. I have met the Jew, Negro, German, Englishman, Italian and American lawyers, but deliver me from the "mad rushes" of an Irishman like McCafferty. I recently read in the papers that in all but seven states, the presidential primary prevails and Washington is one of the seven. Is Washington going back to the political leadership of fifteen or twenty years ago? It will not be denied that on a direct primary vote, Roosevelt would carry seventy per cent of the Republican vote, and yet, the Taft supporters are against the primary hoping that in a convention, the state delegation would be given to Taft. Why are the Taft supporters opposed to letting the majority rule? The approval of such unfair methods is what brought the progressive movement into existence. Refusing to permit the majority to rule is neither Republicanism or Democracy. It is machine politics, that the majority of the voters wish to free themselves from. The boy and his mother. They were in the Superior Court a few days ago. It was in Judge Gilliam's department. The boy was the defendant in a case being tried in which he was charged with a felony. The mother was brought there by the strong arm of the law as a witness for the state—to testify against her son. A mother's love is strong. It is unusually so in this case. She was put in the witness chair to testify against her boy. This she refused to do, and the judge committed her to jail for thirty days for contempt of court. An unpleasant situation for the court and prosecutor, isn't it? What else could Judge Gilliam do? Nothing. The inexorable law stood between the mother and her liberty. Is any one to blame for present conditions? What would you do in such a case? I will tell you what I would have done. The charge against the boy was robbery. Robbing the mother, who refused to give her evidence. If any one was injured, it was the mother. If she refused to prosecute the case, I would have dismissed it. I would have done all this, rather than send that loving mother to jail. Men and women will differ in opinion as to what should be done in such a case, but that is what I think should have been done. I wonder what Mr. Murphy thinks of the matter? Don't you think he ought to dismiss the case and free the poor broken-hearted woman? SHORT SHARP SHOTS. Dignity may have been the watch word in previous presidential campaigns, but that gentleman will play little or no part in the Taft-Roosevelt scramble. George says, "I am going to do it," and from the set of his jaw that vast inaugural audience took him at his word. Evidently Senator Cummins fully realizes he will not get one delegate to the next Republican national convention, which prompts him to want to do away with all conventions.
