THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN is published every Friday by Cayton Publishing Company. Subscriptions, $3 per year; six months, $1.50; postage prepaid. Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice at Seattle. CAYTON PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. Main 305 427 Epler Block HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, - - - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, - - - Associate Though this paper, so far as the national ticket is concerned, is unalterably in favor of the Republican nominees, and the same is true of the state Republican nominees, so far as it now knows, yet it does not propose to support in its entirety the county Republican ticket. There are candidates on the Republican ticket in King county who do not merit the support of any one, who has the good of the community at heart and no party tie or party whip should force them to vote for such unworthy aspirants for public office. The Seattle Republican does not recommend to its readers the unanimous support of the Republican county ticket and it will from time to time between this and election point out the undesirable candidates on the ticket. This paper resents anything that has the taint of Bull Moosevelt, yet it will recommend, so far as the county is concerned, at least one or two men for county offices. We need a good county government and we can get it if we only take the pains to vote for it. Uncle Sam has his hands full of unruly kids just now and unless he uses tact as well as the rod some of those unrlies are going to get him into serious complications. At present he has troops in Nicaragua, Mexico, Cuba and Santo Domingo, where incipid revolutions are gathering momentum preparatory to more serious and violent outbreaks. The most difficult problem he has for solution is the Mexican, as he may have to not only lick the Mexican government, but in doing so may get involved in commercial complications with European powers that may precipitate the firing of the "gun" that will be heard 'round the world. That young man that killed his father, mother and sister in order to get the insurance policy must either be a Negro or an Indian as such moral degenerates are only found among that class of alleged species of the genus homo. If Woodrow Wilson should get every electoral vote, as predicts Bryan, then Bryan will thoroughly understand it has not been Democracy that the people have been resenting since he has controlled the party, but its presidential nominee. Collecting subscriptions on a weekly paper is exciting, interesting, amusing and frequently annoying. It matters not how brim full and overflowing the publication may be of information and choice literary gems, those directing its destinies must "push it" to the limit or it will not grow in circulation, and to accomplish this you find yourself in an exciting game and holding just as good hand as your gift of gab can command. This stage of the game has its interesting phases for you must be well versed in the eccentricities of humanity that you may talk enough and not too much in order to bag your victim. However, in this age of the "installment plan," it's not so very difficult to enroll one's name on your subscription books, if the cash is expected on some future date in the dim distance. It's amusing almost to the explosive standpoint, while soliciting your victim how suddenly he or she, on learning that no cash at that time is to be required, becomes favorable and your soliciting comparatively easy. Pay day in the distance has but few terrors for many subscribers to publications, as many things can and may happen, which will enable said subscriber to dodge payment after the paper has been enjoyed a year or more. The paper is grand and glorious until pay day comes round, and after an exciting, interesting and amusing chase you corner your victim and demand payment then for the first time you learn the paper was never ordered, that though it has been coming for a year or more it is never read or even opened and in fact is not wanted as, "I have not time to read it. Stop the paper and I will send you a check the first of next month," which, of course, is a subterfuge to get rid of the collector. If on the other hand the collector is persistent and continues to demand the money the insolence of the former subscriber becomes so annoying that the collector reaches the stage of wanting to fight, but your better judgment asserts itself, often on account of the avoirdupois of the other fellow, and you fall back on strategy and diplomacy and in the end win out. Not long since a collector had himself put off a railroad train in the wee sma' hours of the night and hiked five miles into the country by Walker, Road & Company, to corner a badly delinquent subscriber. The time, the walk and the worry, were worth five times the delinquency, but the collector had become as determined that the subscriber should not dodge the debt as the subscriber had that he would not pay the debt. The derelict was finally run down and the two met in a sullen mood. The greeting was not that of two friends. The collector noted the situation and used diplomacy. The subscriber was cornered and used sullenness. "I have no money and will not be able VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 30. to pay you for two months." Five miles' hot tramp over dusty roads to get nothing did not set well on the nerves. Diplomacy mingled with persuasion finally did the work, and a twenty-dollar debt was half paid, the paper continued as of yore, and a horse and buggy back to town were furnished. The experience, however, was more valuable than the money as the collector knows better now how to handle the other subscriber similarly constituted. The person, who will pay for a paper if ordered is not so keen to subscribe and the solicitor should make a note on the marginal lines of the subscription contract, "this subscription was jumped at and the sooner a bill is sent the better for the publisher." In chasing the ever elusive subscriber, and of course delinquent, not long since the writer hereof found himself "forty miles from nowhere," sitting down on the new mown hay and being shy of copy for the next week's issue, a tablet and pencil were brought forth and there, surrounded only by silent nature and a scorching sun, the editorial think-pot began to bubble and boil, and it was not long before the world was again about to be enlightened as only the various issues of the paper from time to time have done. Sitting there writing with the hope of making a dollar and likewise waiting with the hope of collecting a dollar, forcibly impressed the writer that the publisher of a "weakly" paper comes very near being of the people and knowing what they need both in the way of legislation and likewise in the way of a pisselm club to cure cussedness. The Chambers of Commerce, both of Seattle and Tacoma, have swung round the state this week for the purpose of renewing past acquaintanceship and forming new with the various cities. The idea is a most excellent one even if no more goods are sold than in the past. The business men of the various cities should to an extent know each other as well as the goods and wares each has for sale and exchange. If Seattle has nothing North Yakima wants, one thing is certain, North Yakima has lots that Seattle wants and being a part of the same state North Yakima should be given the preference by Seattle. Thousands of dollars worth of fruits are allowed to go to waste in Yakima county that could be utilized in Seattle if it could be put on the market for a reasonable price. Therefore, getting acquainted may mean much toward solving the commercial problems of the day. If all the fakers at the state fair paid liberally for their concessions then it seems to us the state appropriation for the fair might all be turned back to the state treasury. RICH MEN'S PLAY FARMS [Name not visible in the image] Down on his magnificent ranch in the Sunnyside country not long since, Elbert F. in the Blaine, the well known Seattle attorney and one, who financier, held a grand birthday reception trees gre and entertainment, at which scores of his To have Seattle friends were taken either by train or automobile in order to make merry with him. Mr. Blaine has a magnificent country home and we suspect that it has cost him more actual cash to make it so than the accumulated earnings of one hundred laboring mechanics on an average salary of $4 per day. We suspect that a glass of buttermilk on Mr. Blaine's ranch is just as expensive, all things considered, as a glass of champagne served by one in the city, but he has the money and that is one of his ways of enjoying it, and no one should begrudge him his happiness. However rich men by their far mextravagance may kill the present growing idea of "back to the farm" by fitting up such expensive play farms that the real farmer has a delicacy in trying to farm by the side of his rich neighbor. 2 Elbert F. Blaine, however, is a prince of good fellows and has a heart in him as big as his whole ranch with his magnificent city home thrown in, and those living near his country home are made to feel that he is their friend, and if they show any disposition to improve he lends them a helping hand. He sees to it that the highway in front of their properties is beautified the same as in front of his. He is as congenial to the neighbor, who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow as he is to the neighbor, who, like himself, periodically betakes himself to the country to enjoy his play farm in order to perfect some new hobby on which he can spend a few more thousand dollars. Mr. Blaine is a great student of nature and especially the evolutions as well as revolutions of the human family, and being a man of money, he can devote the most of his time to the stduy of man. Recently he spent considerable time in Switzerland and other European countries and devoted a great deal of leisure moments to studying the conditions of the working classes. He is doing the same thing in this country and already he is a bubbling fountain of knowledge as to the economic conditions of the age and, if he would, he could write a most valuable book on Capital and Labor. MONEY MAKES MONEY. Orchard Tracts, that part of the famous Sunnyside district, in which the home of Mr. Blaine is located, may not be the most beautiful country plat on earth, but certainly it is the most beautiful the writer has ever seen or even expected to see. Nature seems to have done nothing toward beautifying that section, but it did leave it in a condition that with energy and pluck man could fashion and farm it into a beauty spot that will put the most gorgeous efforts of Dame Nature to shame. There is no doubt but that to the old fashion "hay seed," who has raised cotton, corn, taters and hell, the five and ten acre tracts, such as are Orchard Tracts, are mere "play farms," but the hard headed business man, who balances the cost against the profit, has a different interpretation to give to it. Yes, it is a play farm on the same principle of the clown in a circus that is paid a princely salary for playing work. The returns from the fruit and alfalfa crops from those play farms are so fabulous in comparison to the cost of the investment and production that an account of it reads like a leaf from the story of Alladin in the Arabian Nights, and especially the one, which tells of the garden, where the trees grew pearls and other precious jewels. To have seen Mr. Blaine's Orchard Tracts good fel- able ranch and those that he on to im- pees to it is beau- congenial the sweat himself, to enjoy nobby on dars. Mr. especially the own family, the most of pent con- European moments passes. He already he economic two years ago and see them now is such a contrast that you are convinced that even Alladin's wonderful lamp and its cohorts of geniis could not have accomplished more in so short a time. While it is a fact it takes the man with money to make money, it is also a fact that it takes the man with the money to demonstrate the real worth of the country that the man with the brain and the brawn can follow in the wake of the man with the money. There will yet come a time when the farmer and the city consumer of farm products will devise ways and means to deal directly with each other and cut out the middlemen, who get the real cream of the farmers' earnings. In the state of Washington the farmer refuses to raise but little more than he or she needs for home consumption and all because he realizes but little from the things he ships to the seaport markets. "If I have eggs to sell I must sell them to the local merchant at not only almost 50 per --- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN WORKING MEN. GET TOGETHER. FARMS cent less than they bring in the market centers, but I have to take whatever they bring in trade," bitterly complained a farmer not long since, and as he spoke, so think others. To such an extent has this sentiment grown [Name] [Name] ELBERT F. BLAINE among the farmers that, they think it is the same as throwing produce away, so far as they are concerned, to ship it to the market centers to be handled by commission men. However, the immense fruit crops that are yearly growing larger in the state of Washington has set the farmer to thinking as to how best to sell those crops to avoid being robbed by the commission men and slowly but surely he is devising ways and means to reach the consumer at a cheaper rate to him. and at the same time the farmer get more for his products. CO-OPERATION PLANNED Unless the well laid plans of the Farmers' Grange and Organized Labor miscarry, they will soon have perfected a subsidiary compact which will make it possible for the two to deal directly with each other. The plan is to open a co-operative store in every city and community where organized labor is a factor and for the farmers to supply those stores with their products, and for the members of organized labor, so far as is possible, --- --- FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1912 Hay's Good Appointment [Name] FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1912 to trade in such stores. Once it gets on a paying basis the farm products will be sold at a fair price, but give the consumer the advantage of the fees and the stealings of the commission man. Such stores are feasible because the Mormons of Utah have thoroughly demonstrated it. Such a store or stores in Seattle, if patronized by organized labor, could dispose of many carloads of farm products every day, and they would be an incentive to the farmer to raise more produce and to sell it more reasonable than such produce now is. There is no doubt but that the respective elements of opposition to the trusts of this country are growing stronger every day and even "you and I" may yet live to see the day when, the trusts will be down and out and the mechanic buy directly from the farmer such edibles as are needed on his table. Labor should always be in sympathy with labor whether skilled or otherwise, and if organized labor practices what it preaches it will endeavor to work to the advantage of labor though it be farm labor. There is a much to be gained on the part of organized labor by backing up farm labor as in holding up the prices of day labor in the cities. 1910 JUDGE MAIN. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Gov. Myron E. Hay is to be congratulated both in his appointment of Judge John F. Main to succeed the late R. O. Dunbar, the nestor of the state supreme bench, a member of the supreme court, and likewise Kenneth Macintosh as Judge Main's successor on the King county superior bench. While Judge Main is decidedly popular among the masses in King county, nevertheless there are attorneys who were inclined to criticise him as a trial judge, but even those critics did not hesitate to say, "in my opinion, however, he would make an ideal member of the supreme court." Judge Main is learned both in the law and literary circles and being a diligent student his opinions from the supreme bench will be looked forward to as being among the most valuable decisions hailing from the Northwest. The appointment of Judge Main, however, only lasts until the November election, when his successor must be elected. The direct primary (law) nuisance, however, has made no provisions for nominating a successor to Judge Dunbar or any other judge, who happens to 3 [Name] KENNETH MACKINTOSH die between the time of nomination and election, hence the only way either Judge Main or any one else can be voted for at the November election is by writing such name on your ballot. This is very unfortunate for if the Socialists should make a united effort to write the name of Dr. E. J. Brown on the ticket for judge of the supreme court in all probability he will be elected as the average Republican and Democratic voter will doubtless overlook this important duty. Kenneth Macintosh is one of the most popular, if not most popular, aspirant for superior court judgeship in King County, not including the present superior court judges, and his appointment to the bench by Governor Hay practically assures his election in November.

When the election comes off in November, after having traveled the length and breadth of the state and carefully noted the changing sentiment of the people between Taft and Teddy, The Seattle Republican has no hesitancy in predicting, Taft will beat Teddy in the state of Washington next November to a frazzle. Do not understand that we want you to understand us to mean that there are no Roosevelt men in the state, for that would be a previous misunderstanding; but we want you to understand that, the Roosevelt Bull Moosers have lost the most of the bagadocia that they started out with and they are satisfied to talk almost as rational as though they had not lost theid heads, after Teddy had been kicked out of the Chicago convention. "Believe me," public sentiment has begun to swing to Taft and the Roosevelt shouters are talking through their hats with the view of deceiving the other fellow. At the last state election there were somthing like 190,000 votes cast, and out of that number 110,000 plus wers cast for the Republicans and 52,000 plus for the Democrats. The Republicans can give to the Bull Moosers 54,000 votes and then win the election. The Democrats are no stronger this year than they were four years ago and whatever loss the Republican party sustains will go to the Bull Moose party. There was a crystalized enthusiastic sentiment for Bryan in this state in 1896 and yet he only carried it by a small plurality, and lost it four years later, but there is no such sentiment at present for Roosevelt, which means he will lose the state not by a few hundred but by not less than 10,000 votes. "Just wait until Teddy gets back into the White House and then the whole government will get right," exclaimed a wild-eyed Populistic Mooser one day this week, whereupon he was asked the question, "But suppose Teddy should in the meantime lay down and die or fall backward off of his self-exalted political pedestal, on account of excessive drink, to which he is said to be addicted, and kill himself, do you think the country would go to the demnation howbows on account of the accident? In other words, would the United States be so badly disabled, if Roosevelt should die, that she would have to go back to the protectorate of England?" Even that Bullmoosevetter, foolish as he was, saw the point and smild at his folly. As with him so with thousands of others, and wherever you go Taft is being given more consideration, which is responsible for the prediction herein, Taft will carry the state in November by not less than 5000 plurality. Roosevelt, it is claimed by persons who ought to know, was almost mushy drunk all the time he was in this section of the country. Two prominent Spokane men were discussing the actions of the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN man while he was in Spokane. "There is no doubt in my mind that Roosevelt was almost nasty drunk while he was in Spokane," said the first. To that allegation the other took serious exceptions and denied the accusation against Teddy. Whereupon number one again replied, "Well, if I should on any occasion act as peculiarly as did Roosevelt when in Spokane, then no one who saw me would be my friend, if he or she did not declare my actions were due to my drunken condition. I would either have been drunk or crazy, and I would prefer to be pronounced drunk rather than crazy, as the former is but a temporary disability while the latter is a permanent one." In charging that Roosevelt is drunk the greater part of the time he is out on his campaigns, those who make the charges say they do so after having met the man and observed his general deportment. Despite the fact Rev. Lyman Abbott of the Outlook swore that Teddy is a teetotaller, yet everywhere he goes he leaves a well founded charge behind him of constant over-indulgence in strong drink. That Teddy is rapidly on the wane all over the country is quite apparent, the recent silly outbreak of Miles Poindexter to the contrary notwithstanding. As has been previously said in these columns, the only real harm Roosevelt will do to the Republican party is to take votes enough from it in doubtful states to make the election of Wilson possible. One of the most popular men nominated by the Republicans at the late primary election is J. E. Frost of Ellensburg, who was nominated for representative in Congress from at large. He certainly made a hit with the voters and wherever you go in the state nothing but favorable comment is heard of his candidacy. While he is "regular," yet he will get almost as many votes of progressives as will J. A. Falconer. H. B. Dewey, who is Mr. Frost's running mate, may and possibly will be elected, owing to having a strong call on the women vote of the state, but he is by no means so popular among the politicians as is Frost, and many of them will work and vote for Falconer. The success of the regular Republican organization ought, however, to pull Dewey through, but from Seattle to Spokane the politicians hook up Frost and Falconer as winners from at large. There is hardly any doubt but that Representative Humphrey will succeed himself from the First District. He is making a splendid campaign and the voters have begun to see his political and commercial worth in its true light. Albert Johnson is making a winning campaign against Stanton Warburton and it is believed he will succeed and a Republican instead of a what is it will represent the Second District in Congress next year. Wm. La Follette is sure to win in the Third District, but that will mean nothing to the Republicans as he belongs to the same political breed of poisoned pups as does Stanton Waburton. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1912 There may be some slight chance of Taft losing the state of Washington, but unless all political signs fail there is not the remotest probability of the state Republican ticket, and especially Governor Hay, losing the election. While Governor Hay is not being enthusiastically supported by the politicians, yet he is being accepted by the great rank and file of the voters as being so eminently superior to his competitors that, he will get more votes than both of them. His supporters do not beat about the bush, but boldly announce they are for him. There may be many, even a majority of the voters of the state, who are for Hodge, but if they are they keep the secret to themselves. The Bull Moosevelt politician is for Teddy all right, but he draws the line on Hodge and for no other reason than on account of Hodge's reputation and his lack of educational qualifications. Voters turn out to hear Hodge because they had heard that he makes a monkey of himself on the stump and they go away after having heard him knowing that he had not been misrepresented. There is no denying that Hodge will get quite a vote at the election, but it is the prediction of The Seattle Republican that he will not get in gunshot of election. Discussing the gubernatorial situation in the state of Washington a number of passengers on a Northern Pacific train, that was tied up in the Cascade mountains, seem to have been almost unanimous against the election of Bob Hodge for governor. Every one testified to the fact that, Hodge seldom if ever appeared before an audience in the present campaign without a cigarette either in his mouth or in his fingrs, and, in their opinion, no man is deserving of the honor of governor of the state, who is even addicted to the cigarette habit, much less to have no more modesty than to smoke them in public. Without being over-critical of Mr. Hodge, yet it is a fact that refined people all over the state only know him as a vulgar prizefighter, and with no more fitness for governor than a genuine African chimpanzee. In making his campaign he seeks to array the classes against each other by grossly misrepresenting the facts. The state of Washington would be disgraced beyond reparation should he be elected governor. Taxes on real property and rentals for the same are sadly at variance just now, the former outweighing the latter by almost two to one. ALBERT HANSEN Jeweler and Silversmith LOWMAN BUILDING First and Cherry JACOB FURTH ACCUSED The Seattle Republican makes it a rule to not try court cases in its columns and therefore it has nothing to say as to either the polls in guilt or innocence of the officers of the Seattle National Bank, who were recently arrested in connection with the failure of the La Conner bank, which occurred some months ago. It will however, venture the opinion that, the Seattle bankers are innocent of wrong doings. Jacob Furth, the financial head of the Seattle National Bank, may have in the past driven a good many sharp bargains in the banking business, which have brought to his coffers fabulous wealth, but we do not believe he has ever deliberately robbed any one, with whom he has had dealings, though he has had thousands of opportunities to do so. In our opinion Jacob Furth would no more take such an advantage of the people as he is accused of by the prosecuting attorney of Skagit county, than he would take a gun and go out in the highway robbery business. In spite of the abuses that have been laid upon Jacob Furth by political enemies and jealous rivals, it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that more men and business concerns have been saved from financial ruin through the goodness of Jacob Furth than any other one man in the whole Northwest. Populist politicians started the villainous rounds of abuse that have been directed against him for many years, not because they had any facts at their command to justify their allegations, but because they had to have a target on which to center their groundless fabrications. The business men of this community know that Jacob Furth is absolutely honest and the most of them, despite the abuse against him would have no hesitancy in placing their fortunes, whether large or small, in his care and keeping for the protection of their families. We write this because we know the man and because we are not afraid to speak out in meeting in favor of him, who is and have been attacked by men, who desired to build themselves up at another's expense. Like any other citizen, he has grabbed a franchise whenever he had an opportunity, which should be commended rather than condemned. JACOB FURTH FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 27. 1912 Thousands of persons could, if they would, speak of Jacob Furth as we have done, and likewise add, "he has been the Seattle business man's good angel for the past twenty-five years." Harrison B. Martin, a local attorney, who while holding the position as deputy U. S. attorney for southwestern Alaska attained much fame as a practitioner, has made a hit in Seattle by knocking out the law, which permitted persons to be arrested under the absconding debtor act. Mr. Martin's client was arrested on such a charge and he not only had him released, but was awarded a $500 damage verdict for false imprisonment. The law has been on the statute books for many years and Mr. Martin was the first to attack it, which he, as said above, succeeded in giving a body blow below the belt. Mr. Martin is one of the rising attorneys of the state and is making rapid strides toward the goal of success. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN 3 FURTH AC The Main Gov.

JACOB Ireland by the English, but what of the Irish? We know, Mr. Subscriber, you have no intention of beating us out of our subscription price to the paper, but the money is doing us no good in your possession. How the state of Washington can be troubled with any financial depressions with her hundred and one bumper crops is more than we can explain. If the next legislature of Washington does not knock the direct primary law into a cocked hat, then it will be derelict to its duty. That eclipse of the moon in the West one day this week must have been due to the presence of William Jennings Bryan on the Pacific Coast. The Seattle Republican is looking for business and would appreciate an opportunity to do business with you. The epidemic of county fairs that has broken out in this state is proving a golden harvest for the fakers. [Name not visible in the image] JACOB FURTH AT THE ORPHEUM.

Bloedel, Vice-President John K. Bush, Cashier OFFICERS: Chas. B. West. Assistant Cashier The proposed $980,000 bond issue for the erection of a County Office Building, to house all County and City Officials, including the Courts, excepting the Police and Health Departments, Hospital and Jail, which are to occupy the present City Building, is one of the most important local questions to be decided by the voters at the coming election. This proposition is clearly an economical one, as the County and City are now paying for rented space, a sum which would cover the interest on the entire issue, and suffer all the inconvenience and loss from having the Departments scattered about the city. The County is deriving no income from the block of land which it owns and upon which the building is to be erected, and as the present Courte House is unfit for further use, there can be no logical argument against the issue. The building is being designed as a commercial structure, such as private enterprise would build. No attempt at determining the location of a Civic Center is being made, as the building is not designed to form a unit of any civic group, but as an office building covering the entire block bounded by Third and Fourth Avenues, James and Jefferson Streets As many stories as will be required will be erected, and the foundations will be laid for additional height, so that the finished structure will be twelve stories, covering the major portion of the block, with the central portion adequate for eight more. Thus providing a structure that can readily be disposed of to private investors at a profit to the County, when a Civic Center is voted and the County and City erect their buildings as part of the Civic group.
