The man who is visiting Seattle after a lapse of forty-three years, and is trying to locate Yesler's mill and other old landmarks of that day and age, must feel something like old Rip Van Winkle. Next week's edition ought to be brilliant if there is any virtue in buying all those new pencils to help the helpless. With revolutions external and earthquakes internal, poor old Mexico seems to be having more than her share. The trans-Atlantic liner which recently arrived in New York claiming to have made the voyage from Glasgow without selling a drink, certainly carried no passengers unless it was Billy Sunday or a Prohibition party. The beginning of the boating season has been inaugurated by the drowning of father and two boys, which sad event should be a warning to those who use the splendid watercourses of the city to exercise every care and precaution. Since the members of the theatrical profession in Paris pose for the moving picture scenes by the yard, they will soon seek to increase and develop their size of the race to veritable giants. Man is chivalrous at moments of great crisis or excitement, but a woman will cheerfully starve or endure torture for her husband and children which is greater than drowning. The "oldest inhabitant" who solemnly declared that the weather on Puget Sound was "changing" because it was so cool, changed his mind the first of the week and now declares that we're in for the hottest summer on record. According to John Jacob Astor's will his bride widow will lose her fortune if she remarrier. It seems a shame to cut from the eligible list so charming a widow with a five million dowry. A California man was recently granted a divorce from his wife because she abandoned him. Hhe said she left him because he was "too good," but that she could have loved him if he had only had one little bad habit. Our sympathy is with her. What kind of a creature is a man who can go through these stirring times without occasionally even "cussing" a little? The Mississippi river is called the "Father of Waters." Must be because many of that sex grow turbulent, unruly and often seek to escape from confining bonds. An Arkansas grand jury has indicted twenty prominent citizens for lynching a Negro. An exchange comments that the world is progressing when lynching a "nigger" in the South is considered a violation of the law. High and grammar grade students are taking up declaratory contests, debating and spelling bees with evident interest and relish. This is as it should be, and it is hoped will be encouraged by parents and public as well as by the school faculty. And now it is the roller towel that is producing consternation in the public mind as a germ disseminator. San Francisco is to abolish it in barber shops, hotels, etc. What will follow next? The sudden death from apoplexy of King Frederick VIII of Denmark has cast a gloom over all his subjects. He was greatly beloved for his supreme justice, great sympathy and kindness. Christian X, upon being proclaimed king, paid a deep tribute to his father and pointed out the difficulty of succeeding such a ruler. Notwithstanding all the care and warning of the state fire warden and his deputies, the forest fires of the past few days have assumed alarming proportions and the destruction to timber, mills, homes and the sacrifice of lives stand as a monument to remind one that eternal vigilance is dry weather advances. The problem of the convict is one of ever necessary as summer and attending the most troublesome with which the world has had to deal and is still so. But the movement in different states toward the bettering of their conditions and of reforming them so that they will become better men after their term expires, is one that appeals to the best in human nature and should be encouraged by all interested in humanitarianism. Down in Georgia the state supreme court has just handed down a decision that it is not libelous to call a "lady" a "woman." A "lady" brought the action, alleging that she had been maliciously slandered and libeled. We coincide with the court inasmuch that God gave the world womanly women. The society "lady" is not of his making. Portland every spring has a "straw hat" day, when all of the male persuasion is supposed to wear their new headgear. It occurred last week and it rained. Evidently the weather clerk there is no respecter of style and fashion. The Methodists now in conference at Minneapolis are agitating the repealing of the rules in that church regarding dancing, theatre going, etc. Many Methodists violate these rules, and laws which are impossible of enforcement should be repealed. It is not generally known that the territory of what is now the state of Kansas gave to America her first martyr, in Fra Juan de Padilla, a Franciscian priest, massacred b ythe Indians and whose body now reposes in the mission church of Isleta, New LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 8. Mexico. Seventy-eight years before the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock, this Catholic priest went from river to river, lake to lake, and won to the faith the warlike Miamis and the luxurious Illinois. The Pacific Northwest needs advertising and the sooner her cities are aroused to the fact, the sooner will the outside world know and become interested in her numerous advantages and possibilities. Let us take as an example California. Some say California is over-advertised, but they are not natives, and live where envy and jealousy predominates, for nobody who knows anything of that state can say that it is possible to over-advertise her beauty and benefits. Now if the same methods were employed to exploit the scenery, charm, climate and numerous resources of this state, it would soon revolutionize conditions here. It is not a pleasing nor dignified spectacle to see a man, who has seven years held the office of President of the United States, making a violent and degrading campaign for another term, and who now denounces the present incumbent as unworthy, when he personally advocated and recommended him four years ago. Neither is it pleasing for people to know that their president, whom they desire to respect and honor, is resorting to making undignified appeals to give him another term. "Plucking a Chicken," by Rembrandt. has been sold in Paris for $95,000, which goes to prove the fact that the artist who depicts heroic battlepieces and beautiful scenery does not find his way to the regard of the picture lover as the one who takes some simple homely subject drawn from average everyday life. The Arizona legislature has passed laws regarding a public defender of prisoners. And as a man is innocent until he is proven guilty, why should there not be a public defender as well as a public prosecutor? According to statistics recently published, the colored people of the South are making a united and successful effort toward progress, many becoming prosperous farmers. Some owning their farms, others renting, and the number has increased from 50 to 225 per cent during the past ten years. It is said that no class of white peasantry in Europe equals the record of the Afro-American in this country, which has been made under the most difficult and trying conditions. The love of man for his dog is only second to his love for humanity. One who is brother to his fellow being, in whose heart swells the inspiration of human love, never can close his heart to the mute appeal of the dearest of dumb animals, man's best friend—the dog. It is the honest, sincere and faithful affection that appeals to our better nature, and has come down to us from a prior and cruder age when the dog was really a guide and guardian, which he is now, when occasion arises. PERSONS IN THE PUBLIC EYE ```markdown ``` [A portrait of a man in formal attire, facing left, with a serious expression.] Dr. M. A. Matthews. 2 Mark A. Matthews, D.D, LL.D., Seattle's leading Presbyterian divine, and likewise one of her foremost men, has been elected moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly which is in session at Louisville, Ky. Dr. Mathews has few equals as a pulpit orator in the whole country, and his election as moderator may mean Seattle's loss of his services. Rev. Father Patrick Dunigan, who was recently elected mayor of Lapeer, Mich., is the first Catholic priest in this country to be so honored. James B. Murphy made an average of 99.75 per cent recently in the test at the St. Paul, Minn., postoffice—the highest average ever established by a government emplove in the Northwest. Gen. Bennett H.

He is a bit of a philosopher as well as a keen business man, and says the secret in business is "doing common things uncommonly well." Wm. J. Bryan has announced through the Commoner that he will not be the compromise Republican candidate for the presidency. He says that, "he feels under no political obligation to either the president or ex-president, and is willing to let them fight out ther differences, even if it splits the Republican party." May 17. 1912 STATE NEWS The public service commission is to inquire into the reasonableness of express charges in Washington. The complaint alleges that the charges are excessive and should be lowered. The express companies have been cited to appear before the commission at the hearing. Purchases have been recently made of fifty cars of Eastern seed oysters for transplanting in beds operated by the various companies on Willapa Harbor. A marvelous catch of 362,575 pounds of halibut was recently brought to this port by the Weiding & Independent Fisheries Company's steamship Independent.

September 23rd to 28th. Forest fires are reported to be raging in standing timber on the upper Wiskah river, owned by Coats Brothers & Company, near Aberdeen. The fire has covered a mile of territory. Persons who keep bees as an investment in Walla Walla must keep them outside of the city limits is an edict issued by the poundmaster of that town. Damage by forest fires to the extent of $150,000 to $200,000, including the destruction of two mills, a general store and twenty homes, occurred during the week about fifty miles east of Tacoma. The plant of the Barring Shingle Company at Index was totally destroyed this week by fire, which originated from an explosion of sawdust under the boilers. Two dry kilns filled with shingles and a carload of shingles on the siding were also consumed. Fire starting from a defective flue destroyed the United States Lumber Company's mill at Darrington last Monday. In addition to the mill, the cook house, bunkhouse, general store, lumber yard and seven houses were also burned. The mill employed 200 men and the loss is estimated at from $25,000 to $30,000, covered by insurance. Taking advantage of the dry weather, loggers in western Washington are burning slashings to minimize the forest fire hazard during the summer. The Olympia-Portland Cement Company of Bellingham has just received the plans for the dock to be built by that company, which is said to be the largest ocean dock on the Pacific Coast, and one of the longest in the world. The effect in the recent advance in the price of lumber is noticeable in the in- May 17, 1912. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN creased activity in the mills of Raymond and vicinty. Many mills are running overtime three or four nights a week, while one has put on an all-night crew. The report of the state insurance commissioner, J. H. Schively, shows that the insurance companies of this state have collected $15,162,588 in premiums during the year 1911, while the losses amount to $6,-572,555. State Fire Warden J. R.

Bishop. High prices have prevailed in the wheat market this week at Pomeroy. Seven thousand busheds were sold at 95 cents. Some has been sold for $96 \frac{3}{4} $ cents, the highest price paid in the local market. E. S. Williamson, of Pomeroy, is making a business of raising mushrooms and marketed some early in the week. The cod fishing schooner Joseph Russ, which sailed from Seattle April 7 for the Bering sea cod banks, was wrecked southwest of Kodiak. She carried thirty-five men, all whom escaped.

Wm. Bishop. 3 With a record percentage of lambs in most of the bands of sheep, with exceptional forage all winter and the best grazing on the range at this time of year, the prospects for a stockman of Yakima Valley are quite as bright as that of the fruitmen. A whistling buoy has been placed in position on the bar at South Bend. The greatest wheat crop ever produced in the three states of the Pacific Northwest is likely this season. A preliminary estimate of the crop is close to 80,000,000 bushels as the totals for Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Spokane railroad contractors have secured the contract for construction of thirty-five miles of railway on the Kettle Valley lines, and will commence work at once, employing 1,500 men. The work will extend till the first of the year. W. T. Clark, the newly elected president of the Wenatchee Fruit Growers' Association, will superintend the sale of this year's crop. The heirs of a deceased homestead entryman, who during his life time failed to comply with the law, may complete the entry by either residing upon or cultivating the land the full period of five years. The twenty-sixth annual meeting of the Washington State Press Association will be held at Mt. Vernon, July 11th to 13th. It is rumored in Ellensburg that W. W. Robinson of that place has secured the contract for a large consignment of hay for the government, the price to be $26 per ton. The sum cleaned up by the deal is said to be from $50,000 to $75,000. The Guggenheim interests have announced that they intend to spend $4,000,000 on the first steamer of a service on the Pacific coast, in competition with the Canadian Pacific Railway. The ships are to be built at the Seattle Construction and Dry Dock Company yards. The report of Chief Cruiser McGillicuddy show 20,000,000,000 feet of standing timber in Chehalis county. This timber is worth approximately $25,000,000 and has been assessed at $8,300,000. The cruise cost $72,000 and required a year to make. Harry K. Thaw, if adjudged sane in the present court proceedings and released, will establish a law office in Pittsburg. Mrs. James A. Reed, wife of the junior senator from Missouri, has left the national capital. She does not like the society there nearly as much as that of Kansas City. Prince Mohammed Ali, brother of the kedive of Egypt, is in New York and will leave shortly for San Francisco where he expects to remain three months. F. Cuncliffe Owen, a writer in Hampton's Magazine, predicts that France is on the eve of a revolution more calamitous than any that has occurred since 1793. Miss Alice M. Dunkin is to build a $250,000 school house for New York, the contract having been awarded to her as the lowest bidder. She had seven male competitors whose bids all run higher. She is said to be the only woman builder in New York City. Republican State Convention The Seattle Republican not only does not believe Theodore Roosevelt "has been the only honest president of the United States of America since Lincoln, but it believes that Roosevelt has been the only political trimmer and trickster that ever was president of the United States." So decided is it in this opinion that, it does not hesitate to say that William Jennings Bryan would a million times over be a more acceptable president than Mr. Roosevelt, and if he is nominated at Chicago and Bryan is nominated at Baltimore, there is no doubt in our mind but that Bryan will beat him to a frazzle. Perhaps Taft will or would suffer the same rebuke, but we feel absolutely certain Roosevelt will in case he is nominated. While The Seattle Republican has tried to be fair to both sides in this controversy, yet it wants to be distinctly understood as being unqualifiedly for Taft, although under the existing circumstances the party might fare better by selecting Charles E. Hughes of New York. Once upon a time the state of Washington enjoyed the distinction of entertaining a three-ringed political circus, with Republicans, Democrats and Populists the center of attraction. That was in 1896, when Bryan's 16 to 1 ran rampant over the West and the circus tent was pitched at Ellensburg. That rather remarkable episode was the subject for many an editorial paragraph and gave the state more or less unpleasant as well as undesirable notoriety. The regular Republican party went down and out as a result of its action, but while it was down and out it purged itself of its almost innumerable carbuncles. The recent two-ringed circus at Aberdeen with "standpat" and "progressive" Republicans the center of attraction, was not exactly a case of history repeating itself, but it was mighty near it. The two factions of the Republican party were not able to have a show in the same tent, the leaders having previously learned the temperament of the respective factions, early concluded that two conventions would save expensive doctors' and hospital bills, and acted accordingly. The holding of two conventions spoiled a lot of fun, but avoided a lot of unpleasant publicity. Regardless of which faction was right or wrong the standpatters got the upper hand on the surface, and that, too, in a legitimate way, and will therefore be looked upon as the regular Republican party. The progressives were forced to hold a rump convention in order to get their rights and made no effort to enter the hall set aside by the regular Republican Central Committee, hence they must be looked upon as clandestine and will have a hard time to get seats in the national convention, though controlled by Roosevelt's friends. Owing to the early conclusions of the leaders of the jarring factions to hold two conventions the Aberdeen meeting, instead of being a hot number, was a very tame affair and though the opera house, where the regulars met, was well picketed with bluecoats to preserve the peace, they were of no service, and an hour after the convention assembled they had gone to sleep THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Name] Myron E. Hay. Samuel Hill. Samuel Hill. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Orville Billings. at their posts and snored away undisturbed. It was too bad to disappoint the policemen for they seemed to be boiling over for an opportunity to show their "authority." The "regulars" began their work rather nervously, the band even forgetting to play. The meeting was called to order by B. May 17, 1912 W. Coiner, who had been flirting with the progressives, who had handed him a bunch, and he was uncertain as to how and when to proceed. Ed Breen, as soon as the gavel fell, made motions, which were duly seconded, that belonged to the work of the permanent organization, and if some one had not called a halt the work of the convention would have been finished before it legally began. Finally Tom Fisk was elected permanent chairman, the temporary having been completely overlooked, and from that time to the adjournment everything worked like greased lightning. While the committees were out looking over their previously prepared copy a couple of speeches were made by Charles E. Claypool and Hon. John L. Wilson. Wake him up at midnight and Charley Claypool will make a speech to a Republican convention that will set it to howling like hungry hyenas, and his speech on this occasion was no exception to his past ones. Before the last words of his speech had ceased to ring a general howl went up for Wilson and his appearance on the platform was the signal for the wildest of wild cheering. He was well pleased with the turn of affairs and he gave the convention a speech that bristled with patriotism, poetry, politics and classics, which was silently, but unanimously voted, his master convention effort. In the politics of the state John Lockwood Wilson may be a dead one as declared Alex Falknor of Everett, but he no sooner enters an assemblage of state politicians than he not only becomes the center of attraction, but the chief topic of conversation. The politician that hates him hurries to shake his hand the same as the politician that admires and adores him. He simply overshadows everybody else. He was selected as one of the delegates to the national convention, but declined in favor of Howard Cosgrove. Leading Republicans are unanimous in their belief that that was a mistake and the Republican cause of the state went backward instead of forward when he did it. The delegates to the convention are as follows: First district—Hugh Eldridge, of Whatcom county; Patrick Halloran, of Skagit county. Second district—F. H. Collins, of Klickitat county; F. B. Hubbard, of Lewis county. Third district—C. C. Gose, of Walla Walla: William Levine, of Whitman. At large—Howard Cosgrove, of King county; R. W. Condon, of Kitsap county; W. T. Dovell, of King county; E. B. Benn, of Chehalis county; William Jones, of Pierce county; Peter Mutt, of Jefferson county; M. E. Field, of Chelan county; A. B. Sloan, of Yakima county. The presidential electors are as follows: N. C. Richards, of Yakima county; W. G. Potts, of King county; J. A. Byerly, of Cowlitz county; William Bishop, of Jefferson county; C. J. Lord, of Thurston county; Geo H. Rummens, of King county; W. J. Smith, of Douglas. Among the old-time political faces seen Mav 17, 1912. John L. Wilson, three ex-United States senators were present. Senator Foster wore his usual smile, but kept his hand on his pocketbook as of yore. Poster and Samuel H. Piles, both former United States senators, and with that of Senator Piles seemed much disturbed in mind and did but little mingling with the crowd. While Senator Wilson was a jolly good fellow from beginning to end. He compared the rump convention to the Dutchman who took his pet dog out hunting with him and when asked by a friend, on his return, what he killed, replied, "Nothing but my pet dog." "Was he mad?" asked the friend." "No, but he did not seem so damn well pleased." That perhaps will be the last party convention ever held in the state and the old stagers said good-bye with more or less reluctancy. Aberdeen did herself proud in entertaining the delegates. Not having planned for a convention all by their lonely, the progressives began their work in a more or less incoherent topsy-turvy way. A. J. Falknor seemed to be the man of the hour, although W. H. Paulhamus made him look to his laurels. Falknor was elected temporary chairman after a reign of political pandemonium for two hours or more. The delegates shouted, sung and danced and impressed an old stages as an old-time Populist meeting. Splendid speeches, however, were made by Paulhamus and Falknor, the latter bitterly denouncing all of his former political associates, but he had to do that in order to put himself in shape to get the votes he is catering for. It was declared that Paulhamus would announce his candidacy for the gubernatorial nomination, but he did not do so. In case, however, he does make the fight for governor, it is the concensus of opinion that he will be a winning one. The convention elected George H. Walker of Seattle as permanent chairman and he cautioned delegates against following Populist tactics in the convention. There were many old Republican faces in the progressive convention and an old stager was as much at home there as in the standpat convention. This convention elected the following delegates to the national convention: Senator Miles Poindexter, Spokane; Thomas F. Murphine, of King; S. A. D. Glasscock, of Whatcom; Robert Moran, of San Juan; Donald McMaster, of Clark; N. P. Richards, of Chehalis; O. C. Moore, of Spokane, and W. L. Johnson, of Stevens. First district—Frank Pendleton, of Snohomish; J. A. Johnson, of King; alternates: Herbert Snook, of King, and J. C. Herbsman, of King. Second district—Thomas Crawford, of Lewis, and A. G. Espy, of Pacific; alternates; N. P. Richards, of Chehalis, and Thomas Geissner, Clallam. Third district—L. Roy Slater, of Spokane, and T. C. Elliott, of Walla Walla; alternates: W. L. Johnson, of Stevens, and J. A. Lanham, of Chelan. The following presidential electors were nominated: The following were chosen national electors: S. E. Wharton, of Snohomish; W. J. Molten, of Pierce; J. L. Aldwell, Clal- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. John C. Laurence. [Picture of a young man in a suit with a tie and a flower on his lapel].

Had Dan Landon been given his way a compromise would have been effected. Governor Hay was much in evidence before the assembling of the convention, trying to play the dove of peace act, but made little or no headway. The regulars mildly endorsed his administration, but the rumps openly denounced it. Even in the regular convention the "No Hay Fever" badge was much in evidence. His efforts at the convention hurt rather than helped his cause. Ex-Governor Mead was a member of the regular convention, but was by no means conspicuous. He seemed glad to see his former tilicums and they seemed proud to know that he was still in existence. Had Mead played the game of politics like politicians play it, he would be governor now, but he, so it is claimed, wouldn't tote fair with Cosgrove's friends and so Cosgrove left a dying bed in California and journeyed to Olympia and was inaugurated and turned the government over to Hay. Samuel Hill, who is now the lord of Maryhill in Klickitat county, was chairman of the delegation from that county. Rather than precipitate a row in the regular convention he stood for the mild endorsement of Hay, but did effective work against him among the delegates from the various counties. Gov. Henry McBride, with his omnipresent grouch, was on hand and as usual played his part in trying to disrupt the Republican party. It is always safe to seek McBride in a pessimist camp. He cut little or no ice in either camp, however, and stood about holding his grouch wholly unnoticed. William Pitt Trimble, who once upon a time listened to the buzz of the gubernatorial bee, was present and wore his usual pleasant smile. He is becoming quite a mixer and some time in the future he will be heard from. C. C. Dalton, the silent delegate, who is present at all state gatherings of a public nature, was on hand. He played no part in the convention, but held up his end when it came to mixing. It is hinted that he is now a shadow of Senator Wilson. Tom Dovell was to be found in the thickest of the fight and he handled the Taft contests with neatness and dispatch. The masses may not warmly favor the efforts of Dovell, but if a Republican is elected to succeed Taft Dovell of Seattle will be heard at the White House. R. L. Kline of Whatcom showed up at the eleventh hour and did some good work for himself. He is a candidate for the nomination of secretary of state and he already seems to have Ike Howell beaten to a frazzle. Kline is well and favorably known and is making a telling campaign. Orville Billings, the candid candidate for governor, was much in evidence and did not do his cause any hurt. Men who heretofore smiled at his platform listened to his talks and seemed more or less interested. He left Aberdeen much pleased with his work. John C. Lawrence, who is a gubernatorial aspirant, did a good deal of mixing, but seems to have made little or no headway in moulding public opinion to his way of thinking. Lawrence may be a very strong candidate, but you do not seem to find it. Perry Niles seems to have been the only candidate for state land commissioner present and he met everybody and his brother. Perry ought to cop the nomination. K. Harvard famous are the Bar Asso approval of summer and red place.

The San Francisco Geary street cable car line, built in 1880, was abandoned this week and will be supplanted by a municipality electric road. Philadelphia housewives have started a boycott upon the meat markets in that city. They believe that a drop in the prices of meat, which are at the highest mark in a quarter of a century, can only be accomplished by self-derial. Because of a shortage of all kinds of deep sea fish all along the southern California coast, wholesale prices have taken a jump of nearly 100 per cent the past few days in that locality. The sum of $3,360,000 subscribed by the public for construction of a battleship for the Swedish navy was sent to the king by a deputation representing the donors.
