A million dollars is quite a sum of money to steal from a municipality, but it looks as if not only that amount, but $640,000 more is about to be stolen from the city of Seattle superinduced by the voting of bonds in the above sums for new electric sites for Seattle. Discussing for a moment the Lake Cushman power site, for the purchase of which bonds to the amount of $640,000 were voted at the late Seattle election, it is safe to say that, if the site had have been gotten for the mere asking, it would then have proven an expensive luxury. For Seattle to use power from Lake Cushman the wires would have to be taken by the way of Olympia, thence to Seattle a distance of 15 miles and the construction of the system and the maintenance of the same would cost more by far than the value of the juice it would produce running at full capacity. In unloading that worthless project on the taxpayers of Seattle somebody has turned a trick and it being impossible for one man to turn the trick all by himself it is plain to be seen that a bunch of them was at the log rolling. The other power proposition is even more ridiculous than the Lake Cushman because it is to cost a round million dollars. How impractical it is at this writing we are not fully prepared to say, but the matter is being carefully looked into and the results of the investigation will be fully exploited. The people of Seattle seem to be bond mad and they will vote bonds for a toad frog sanitarium, if the beneficiaries of such bonds would only make a public declaration to the effect that, it means millions for Seattle in the future, which might mean millions of ugly horny head toads instead of millions of dollars. How preposterous to think Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin used any part of that hundred thousand in his election corruptly. No, indeed, he only used it to help the poor and needy without remotely intimating to them their vote in his favor would be appreciated. It seems to be a fact that Taft won the New York primaries, but we suspect he wishes he had not. Wickstrom may not be guilty of "doing" the city of Seattle, but he will hardly deny that there has been "doing" done. Politics and Politicians Politics and Politicians SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1912. E. C. Davis, state senator from Euphrata, announces in the local papers of that community that he has permanently retired from politics or he will accept no king of nomination or office even if handed him on a silver laddle. Senator Davis in the legislature was a bully good fellow, but lacking in political positiveness which rendered him a negative instead of a positive character. J. Will Lysons, for many years a power in the political arena of Washington, has completely jumped his job and laconically says, "No more politics for me." He is now in New Orleans, whither he went to talk the city authorities and the street car company into using a patent fender for the cars of that city. He and Harry Gilham have financiered a company, which promises to make both of them millionaires and they both declare they need the money. A. C. Rundle, once a well known political character of Seattle, was registered at the Arlington one day this week. He is quite a stranger on her streets and to the rank and file of the political wags it has been a seven day's wonder as to what had become of him, but he himself reported that he is now a prosperous farmer of Benton County and between harvesting times does work in the County Assessor's office and combining the two, farming and figureing, he is making money hand over fist. A. P. Sawyer, one of the stockholders of the P.-I., who for the past three months has been in Washington City as one of the representatives of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, whither he went with the view of persuading Congress to do things for Alaska in the way of legislation, returned home last Monday, and is well pleased with what Congress has already done and will do before it adjourns. Richard A. Hutchinson, one of Spokane's big ones both politically and financially, did Seattle this week or at least he watched the others do her. "I am not exactly out of politics, but I am not nor will be a candidate for any state office. I, however, will be a candidate to succeed myself in the state senate and believe me I will be elected. I am not mixing in the other fellows' fights and have nothing to say of their political prospects." A. S. Ruth, who recently announced his intention of running for the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor, is in California this week speaking against local option in the towns where the fight is being waged. If Senator Ruth has no better success in opposing local option than he did woman suffrage in California then he is hurting instead of helping the liquor cause. But on the LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 an 9, 1912. VOLUME XIV, NUMBER 3. Politicians Politicians square, Ruth made the best anti-prohibition speech in the senate that was ever made in the West. Mutt and Jeff got entirely too funny to be funny and they took a vacation. John Arbuckle, the coffee king, died this week and if any one in America shed any tears it was because his relatives subsidized them to do the job. If Fiddling Dick, U. S. senator from Tennessee, happens to kick the bucket, we trust he will be able to fiddle his way through the pearly gates though it may take him the other way. If that dye work company is not able to find an "attractive and handsome" driver and solicitor as it advertises for, let it get any old kind of a looking hobo and color him to suit. Should Roosevelt lead a third party to the polls in November he might cost Taft the presidency, but so far as Roosevelt is concerned, he would be in the never touched me class. Committing suicide because a faithless spouse eloped with another man demonstrates beyond a reason of doubt that, the husband was as insane as that man she eloped with. [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. Who but a few years since was a political leader in Seattle, who, it is claimed, had gubernatorial aspirations, suddenly gave up politics and turned attention to business, is now one of Seattle's foremost captains of industry, he being at the head of the Puget Sound Sheet Metal Works, one of the largest manufacturing concerns in the Northwest. --- --- DAVID W. BOWEN THE RE THEODORE ROOSEVELT Who has been defeated for the nomination of president of the United States by President Taft, but who intimates that he will head a third party in case the Chicago convention turns him down, as it surely will. ROOSEVELT AND THE RECALL OF DECISIONS. It appears to be more and more evident as the mists of first impressions clear away and the country settles down to mature thought that Col. Roosevelt's recommendations of the recall of judges and the recall of decisions are not generally received with favor. The Outlook itself in its last issue condemns unsparingly the recall of judges and while lending a rather perfunctory approval to the recall of decisions says that the latter is not anything particularly new, "as the people already in fact practically possess the same power now, for they can amend the constitution and so overcome the vote of the court." Col. Roosevelt himself contributes an editorial to the same issue of the Outlook which is construed by many readers as indicating a shifting or modifying of his position somewhat in respect to these radical ideas. In this latest message to his readers, consisting of some two thousand words under the title "Do You Believe in the Rule of the People," Col. Roosevelt is conspicuously silent on the subject of recall of judges, and, while still defending the recall of decisions, making the following concession: "I am not primarily concerned with methods; * * * I am not concerned with terminology. Whether this is called a referendum to the people, or whether it is called a shorter and simpler way of amending the constitution, to my mind matters nothing. The essential thing is to get the power for the people." The Colonel seems to overlook the vital fact that a recall of a court decision is essentially a different thing from a referendum proposition, or a constitutional amendment, and cannot be described by either of those names; and in this he ignores the fundamental objection raised to his proposal. Nobody is objecting to the power of the people to amend the constitution. They already possess that power; and as a matter of fact the different states frequently make use of it, and if the present methods of amendment are not quick enough to suit the people they can be changed. But the recall of a judicial decision involves a new and vastly different principle which may be fraught with danger,—a vital principle not invoked at all by constitutional amendment or by the referendum; and that is, the adjudication by the people at large of private or individual controversies where a point of constitutional construction is involved. The laying down of a general principle of law or conduct is one thing; the deciding as to whether John Smith shall win or lose his lawsuit is quite another. The former is what a constitutional amendment or referendum vote does; the latter is what a recall of a judicial decision would do. The former is an action on an abstract principle of conduct laid down for all to follow; the latter is an action in a concrete form interfering in the proceedings of a specific lawsuit and taking the settlement of it out of the hands of that branch of the government which is duly constituted to perform that function. For instance, the city of Everett can at any time call a special election to amend its constitution, which in this case is called its charter. The voters may by majority ballot lay down rules of action to serve as the basis of power for the city officials in conducting its government. But suppose a controversy arises between a man who claims a property or personal right, the enforcement of which would bring inconvenience or loss to the municipality, or an unwelcome tax on residents of the city. The city defends by raising a constitutional objection to some claim of the plaintiff, the court overrules the city's contention, and the voters then appeal to themselves by popular vote to force such an interpretation of the charter as will reverse the court's ruling. Is there not grave danger in such power resting in the majority? The right of constitutional amendment or referendum on legislation would not give the majority the right thus to appeal to themselves, but the recall of decisions would. The difference is vital. No man nor body of men can be trusted to be fair when sitting in judgment on their own case. To admit such a principle would be contrary to all experience, and would violate the spirit of every great declaration of human rights from Magna Charta down to date. The adoption of such a principle of power abandons the conception of a justice which is above majorities; of a right in the weak which the strong are bound to respect. —Everett Herald. "There is no doubt but Taft will be renominated and will control the convention as Teddy is losing instead of gaining, and while he did not say so in so many words, yet his comment on the presidential primaries in Indiana and New York seem to contain a veiled third party threat in case he is not chosen by the Chicago convention. Mr. Roosevelt may mean well, but his intemperate speeches are causing his popularity to wane rather than grow as he thought it would do. Six months ago and his word was a match for the combined words of the whole country, but today it's rapidly becoming like unto tinkling brass. He will be defeated at Chicago, which may move him to bolt the Republican nominee, but his bolting will but result in the election of some one politically more objectional to him than William Howard Taft. Former Mayor Gill as Others See Him FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1912 The failure of Hiram C. Gill in the Seattle election of March 5 to regain the office of mayor was a signal triumph of the newly enfranchised women voters of that city, if we are to accept the general verdict of the newspapers. "Twice within a few moonths," says the Cleveland Leader (Prog. Rep.), "the women of Seattle, the largest city in Washington, have shown that they can be counted upon to defeat any man who runs for mayor on an 'open town' platform." An this same journal goes on to say that what the women cared for and insisted upon was civic decency, and that other considerations sank into comparative insignificance in their estimation. On the other hand, the newspapers opposed to woman-suffrage are generally silent on this incident. Ex-mayor Gill was defeated by George F. Cotterill, president of the Independent Order of Good Templars and an active prohibitionist, by a majority of 645, the former receiving 31,010 votes and the latter 31,655. Gill's "wide open" policy was the cause of his being ousted some time ago, and in his campaign for reelection he fought for a vindication of himself personally and of the policy which had led to his recall. He argued that the strict enforcement of laws against vice injured the business prosperity of the city and at the same time failed to prohibit the evils which the moral reformers wanted to stamp out. The single tax, which was defeated, and measures calling for the municipal construction of street-railways and wharves, which were approved, figured prominently in the election, and there were more than forty other issues, but the struggle between the forces of Cotterill and Gill was uppermost in the minds of the voters. The New York Evening Post (Ind.) says of the result: "Further details of the Seattle election show conclusively that to the women belongs the credit of saving the city from the disgrace of reelecting as mayor the man whom the city itself recalled because of his running a 'wide open' town. Here again the votes of women, even at the beginning of their joining the electorate, have proved to be a great conservative force. They voted down Socialism in Los Angeles; they voted down the single-tax proposal and defeated the former mayor in Seattle. These two tests, in additioon to the recall of Gill at Seattle, and experiences elsewhere, ought to put an end to the worn-out contention of the antisuffragists that to inject women into the electorate Mayor Gill as says that the fact that the women defeated Gill the second time is interesting and creditable, but the most important fact is that it was proved that the so-called business man in politics who believes that gambling, drinking, prostitution, and a free-and-easy public conscience spell industrial prosperity, is grossly mistaken. "The public knows he is mistaken," The Oregonian goes on to say; "but, whether he knows it or not, it will not tolerate any longer the acceptance of that view by him or any other." ```markdown ``` [Name] [Name] A former Seattle mayor, who, two years ingly elected, who one year ago was recalled, was defeated for mayor, whose political acrob discussed by the "Eastern press" as may b o, two years ago, was overwhelmwas recalled, who a few days ago political acrobats have been widely as may be seen herein.

This sort of talk must now follow the old assertion that woman-suffrage will disrupt the American household, into the rapidly growing limbo of discredited arguments." The Chicago Tribune (Ind.

"They have done good work." agress the Minneapolis Journal (Ind. Rep.). The Mobile Register (Dem.) also has pronounced views: "Woman has a higher moral sense than man; and will, if opportunity offers, insist upon regard for the moral standard. The women said that the election of Hiram C. Gill would bring about the restoration of gambling and the reestablishment of the vice district. So they voted against Gill, and their votes elected Cotterill. Last year it was the women's vote that recalled Gill from the mayoralty. It appears, therefore, that the women are persistent in following their high ideals of government." The Portland Oregonian (Rep.) Butter can be made directly from grass, says a scientist.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM When a barber will stop in the middle of a hair cut to comb his own hair, it makes a man wish for the accelerated introduction of the recently patented device with which he can cut his hair. It may take 3000 years for women to become the intellectual equal of a man in some things, but when it comes to manipulating an automobile with care and good judgment, she has the superior intellect beat by a mile. State District Attorney Fredericks, of Los Angeles, recently took a girl prisoner to his home for the purpose of talking to her about the murder charge that was pending against her, and which he was to prosecute. His desire to give the poor girl a chance for her life or liberty, will be commended. Prosecutors as a rule, think that a high percentage of convictions is what the people want, but this is not true. The world is getting more humane every day, and if reformation can be gained by a dismissal as well as by conviction, the former is preferred. A reckless desire for convictions will surely catch some in the drag net who ought to go free. It has been said that every man ought to write a book. Woodrow Wilson performed his duty in that respect, but he will probably wish he had failed to do so, before Hearst lets up on the review. The man who made the nickle picture show possible ought to have three monuments. The very latest is that John H. Perry will contest the nomination for prosecuting attorney with John F. Murphy. The two Johns ought to set up a very lively scrap. Deputy Kennedy, who for a time loomed up strong, it is reported has lost prestige since he put on the "hat" and received his phrenological chart. Louie Sylvain, who was endorsed for appointment by Judge Gilham, has graduated from the justice courts and is doing superior court work. He is said to be the most aggressive fighter in the office. The telephone merger matter is gliding along as softly as thoughts in a dream, and apparently the calmest of the calm, is the corporation counsel. After representing the city in that litigation in the Supreme Court and before the City Council, he ought to be very nice and quite. I understand several of the councilmen are not above suspicion in the merger deal. If this is true, they had better remain calm also. What is the matter with the spring poet? He, she or it, is late in getting started. I hope it will not become necessary for me to discharge that duty. With the civic centre plans out of the way, the people are now ready to vote bonds for a new court house. I understand that Judge Myers will not stand for reelection. The regret ought to be universal. I have not been able to break into THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN PEOPLE'S FO By A. C. McBRIDE his department, but it seems to be universally conceded that his flirtations with the Goddess of Justice are always genteel, modest and superatively appropriate. There are many who will never believe the world is growing better, or that men are becoming more honest, until the average saloon keeper increases the size of his beer glass. It is said that County Commissioner Alums Rutherford is a very uneasy man since the beautiful spring weather has commenced. The King County road builder is anxious to finish up some of the uncompleted roads. President Hill and the road builder ought to be good friends. Bryan is past fifty-two and his robust health will permit him to make several more races for president. I look for him to be the nominee of the Baltimore convention. One of the tests of greatness is the ability to discover genius and make use of it. In this respect, Louis XIV excelled all known rulers. France never was so great as it was under this monarch. George F. Vanderveer, one of the best and brightest lawyers in Seattle, will commence Quo Warranto proceedings to test the legality of the election of George II. George isn't a wind mill fighter, and there will be things doing in this litigation. Gill has been opposed to the commencement of an action, but the case will no doubt be commenced and fought to a finish. Clear, cold water, taken in pint and quart doses and frequent intervals, will cure a cold quicker than all the medicine on earth. Make it a gallon, if you can, before going to bed. Taft wants the direct primary securely safeguarded. He need not worry about any crooked work being done against him. The old line tricky politicians, the fellows who don't want fair electioons, are all with him. Under the direct primary, he would get more than he is entitled to. Bishop Hughes, of the M. E. church declares that women will not for 3000 years become the equal of men. Henry VIII never said as mean a thing about women as that. For centuries, the world has produced women who were the equal of men. Their assumed inferiority has retarded their development to the equality of men. Withhold judgment for one more hundred years, and see. With the liberal law of cross-examination staring him squarely in the face, Judge Main positively refused to permit a lawyer he had ruled against to cross-examine him on the decision rendered. According to George II, the purity squad ye will always have with you. Dr. Mathews, the able, bright, brilliant pas- FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1912 tor of the First Presbyterian church of this city, tackled old "diabolis" with indescribible vigor and energy in a sermon last Sunday. Now even if the gifted clergyman could drive him out of business, what in the devil would the poor devil do? The Supreme Court has decided that in the trial of a liquor case, where whiskey has been introduced in evidence as an exhibit, the jury may not only smell the liquor during their deliberationoons, but is permitted to taste it. The "rule of reason" is gaining, but how about the judge? Where does he come in? Must he sneak into his chambers for a smell or a drink? It seems to me the court ought to grant a rehearing and settle the whole question in one decision. The services of Dr. Crichton, health officer of Seattle, I fear will not be duly appreciated by the people of this wonderful city. His latest effort in their behalf, is to banish all the chickens, regardless of sex, from the confines of the corporation. This effort is intended to benefit the people on the grounds of public health. Evidently, the good doctor don't care how many people may die on account of keeping chickens outside of the city, but in Seattle, all shall be saved. If I have my way about it, Dr. Crichton shall have a monument, and precedent will be swept aside he shall have it before he dies. The last big murder trial had in the old court house and the first one in the new, was that of State vs. Taylor Stark. Col. James Hamilton Lewis and Judge James T. Ronald defended, and Judge John F. Miller and the writer prosecuted. Henry Shehan, a bailiff in Judge Ronald's department, was a juror in the first trial, which resulted in a hung jury. In the second trial, Judge Miller and I fared about as well as the jaybird who had an experience on a high pole. Judge Humes presided, and what a crowd of people attended. Judge Ronald as a judge and as a criminal defender are as different as Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. Afterwards, Judge Ronald defended Jim Murphy, but he was the jaybird that time. Sheriff Hodge's hat is not the only thing in the ring, but he is there himself, body and breeches. If reports be true, the old "fighter" is putting up a fine scrap politically. Don't go to making fun of our Bob. Think back. What did Blue Jeans Williams do in Indiana? Why, he got there. Don't you remember, Mrs. Williams told the children, "only me and pa is governor." It is the unexpected that most frequently happens. I am not shouting for Hodge, but don't forget, that like Marlborough, he never lost a battle, or besieged a city he did not take. Of course you understand, I don't call his mix up with officer McKinley, the heating stove and pipe either a battle or a siege. When the attorney-general and secretary of agriculture tried to force Dr. Harvey W. Wiley from his position as chief chemist in the pure food department on trumped up article about the Kramer case which was unceremoniously ended because the mother refused to testify against her erring son. Mrs. Kramer was sent to jail, but as soon as the action was dismissed, Judge Gilliam ordered her release. New light has been given the public by the article referred to. I made some comment about the case in the Forum of last week, but only concerning the fact of the trial, and committal of the mother. Keeping this case before the public, prompts me to make a few remarks on the legal side of this question, to the effect, that if Prosecuting Attorney Murphy is very anxious to punish the guilty parties connected with the robbery, he could have done so, and can do so yet, by filing a new information. One of the most difficult problems connected with the practice of law, either civil or criminal, is to ascertain the proper mode of action. Hosts of lawyers can try a case, and try it well if it is first blocked out by a thoroughly competent man. When Hastie was prosecuting attorney, he tried to prosecute a man, then a resident of the city. His information and amended information were quashed, and he told the P.-I. reporters that if any one would tell him what to prosecute him for, he would, like George, "do it." McElroy in the same office tried for four years to find out what to charge the man with, and gave it up. Walter Fulton studied on the question two years and, like McElroy, had to give it up. During all this time, the files of the King County courts contained a case just like the one in question which I commenced while I was a deputy under Judge Miller. I am not hurling brick bats at any of these men, who did the best they knew how, but when any man holding down the job of prosecuting attorney thinks he can pick up any lawyer and ```markdown ``` --- IMPORTANT TO LAWYERS.

Thoughtful men then knew that the doctor would soon be forced to resign and that result has been accomplished. I hope Taft is satisfied with the part he took in this dirty work. If the president has done one single act towards an honest enforcement of the pure food law, I would like to know what it is. When Roosevelt and Dr. Wiley declared that blended whiskey, which contains no more than two gallons of pure liquor in forty, should not be sold under the name of whiskey, Taft promptly set the order aside at the behest of the dealers who wish to sell the vile concoction. The loss of the services of Dr. Wiley is a public calamity, and Taft is responsible for it. "Tell it to Sweeney." In the trial of Albert Sweeney, for a violation of the law against the fraudulent use of the mails, Judge Hanford instructed the jury to render a verdict of not guilty. The defendant, though innocent, might very easily have been railroaded to the pen and to know that we have a United States judge who would not participate in such a proceeding must be a source of satisfaction to the people. On the bench, Judge Hanford would appear to be a very cold blooded man, but the reverse is the truth. This reminds me of Judge C. G. Foster, who was the district judge at Topeka, Kansas, for years, but died some ten years ago. A better looking, and withal a more heartless looking man I never saw inside of a silken robe, but he had a heart in him as tender as that of a child. There was but one known thing that would stir up the able jurist, and that was the Kansas prohibition law. He destested that law as the devil does holy water and died fighting it with all his might. I attended the funeral of J. Edward Hawkins, last Sunday afternoon. The large church at the foot of Queen Anne hill was crowded, and a hundred or more were unable to gain admittance. He was my friend. I appreciated that friendship. I had known him for years. Kind, generous and honorable, he could boast of a large circle of friends, who could not, if they wished, say an unkind word against him. The friends he made, remained so, and the esteem in which he was held was shown by the many who journeyed to the church to mourn over his departure. A few weeks before his death a friend met him on the streets and said, "Ed, you may live ten years, and it may be only a few weeks or days, but prepare yourself. There may be nothing in the future for you, but act as though there was. Get ready." Good advice, wasn't it? and Ed took it, and acted on it. Does he still live? Some say "yes," others "no," but Ed. choose the safe course. He is gone from among us. His death is a great loss to his race. Let us hope that he still lives. I wish I knew about that. The last words of James Drummond Burns, were, "I have been dying for years, now I shall begin to live." Does he still live? I wish I knew. Last Monday's morning daily contained an THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN ... by putting his thumb on the fellow's bump of self-consciousness, make a competent prosecutor out of him, he gets left. If Mr. Murphy wishes to know what to do in this case, there are several men in the city outside of his office, who can tell him, I think. I know of one. Of course the Chicago meat packers were not guilty as charged! How could they be, controlling as much money as they do? Rich men may be guilty of pitying the poor, but never of breaking the laws of the land. A Chicago loan shark committed suicide on account of being exposed in the papers, and yet it is often argued the loan shark is heartless. For a whole day Seattle was without a mayor and yet the old town wagged on just the same as if George I and George II were both on the job. Street rumor has it that James A. Moore plans in the near future to make Lester Turner, who chafed over having to look wise and draw $25 per day for doing so, look like the proverbial thirty cents with a couple of holes in it. Virginia has been given plenty of time to demonstrate that her citizen are capable of self-government, but they have most signally failed.
