If Jack Johnson is correct in his charge that "my brother is crazy," it looks as if his brother as well as Jack has had too much Johnson. We might poke run at the state of Mississippi for going 150,000 Democratic had not Ohio and the New England states done worse. Taft is happy because Wilson instead of Roosevelt was elected and Roosevelt is happy because Wilson instead of Taft was elected. Under such conditions we can understand why, the Republican took to the woods. Reports from Wall Street are to the effect that, there will be no financial flurry on account of the election of Woodrow Wilson. Does Wall Street know what it is talking about? If it does, how did it find it out? The Seattle Republican was the only newspaper in King County that made an aggressive fight for the election of Edward Cudihee for sheriff, and it came out with flying colors. It's a long lane that has no turn, Mr. Stringer; you know where of we speak. Even the country folk voted against the fair bonds, which was a great surprise to the folks in the city. The fair should be the ambition of the farmer as it is a splendid opportunity for him to get next to the city chap that has money to burn, which he made by combinations and truts hostile to the farmer. It must have been a great surprise to the "Conel" to hear that the South went Democratic and that, too, after he had "kicked the niggers out," as a bid for Democratic votes. Had District Attorney Coiner carried out his implied threat and struck Big Bill Morris, it is highly probable that, all the county coroner would have found of him over which to hold an inquest, would have been a grease spot. ```markdown ``` As soon as all the election bets are paid up money ought to get easy and return to the routine of business circles. Coming so close to the late election returns, it looks as if President Taft is not only willing to turn the other cheek, but wants help to pray for his enemies.

Dr. Leonard is a rara avis in the shape of a Methodist Episcopal preacher, if Mr. Casey manages to find $25,000 in his possession. Seattle's detectives may get splendid training in the use of firearms by shooting innocent men down as did McNamee and Bianchi, but it's a cruel and barbarous amusement. It begins to look as if there is going to be a religious denominational row in Seattle which will do the cause of Christ more harm than good. Instead of roast turkey for Thanksgiving, hashed Turkey seems highly probable. Evidently Jack Johnson has seen better days, but he did not appreciate them. Home rule for Ireland may sound well to one up a tree, but Ulster, a large part of Ireland, does not so see it. In our opinion the "labor vote" divided on the candidates the same as the church vote. No class of voters voted like sheep. Good sense. Col. Blethen is to be congratulated as two out of the 380 papers of the state have favorably commented upon his chimes gift to the University of Washington. Something is better than nothing. While three Dagoes were kneeling to the tones of the Blethen chimes, 275 students were stuffing their fingers in their ears and exclaiming "damn it." Evidently they did not hear things alike. President Taft played golf while the Republican party was being roasted and Nero of old fiddled while Rome burned. Is this history repeating itself?

Editor Rupp may know all about newspapers, but it is evident that he knows nothing about politics. "We told you so." Charley Heifner might apply for "minister to Dehomany," as he was the original Wilson man in Seattle. Tom Revelle, as he looks over the election returns of the first congressional district says, "it almost makes me smile." Miles Poindexter had better begin to look for another hobby or he will not be able to land at the next election. Colonel Blethen switched at the wrong time, for had he remained a Democrat he might now be the political dictator of Washington. President Kane of the University of Washington in looking over the legislative returns must see his pile vanishing like snow in June. Will E. Humphrey was warmly supported by The Seattle Republican in the late campaign and carried King County. He was opposed by it two years ago and lost it. No comment necessary. Kenny Beaton lost something like a hundred thousand dollars on the outcome of the late election by having no jobs to peddle out. Tworoger? Yes, the name sounds familiar though we have no recollection of where we met the person. Judge Frater, who did not say one word nor have a card printed as to his candidacy, lead the judicial ticket. It pays to be square. Colonel Blethen ran well for wreckmaster, but there seems to be no doubt, but that George W. Williams, the window smasher, whipped him to a frazzle. Your sins will find you out. Jack Johnson is now staggering under a $30,000 bond for his appearance in the federal court when wanted. Johnson's troubles seem to be coming in carload lots. Uncle Joe Cannon has had a long run for his money, but he was finally corralled. Dan Landon is a bully good fellow, but he got stung by his "friends." Tom Murphine didn't go to congress, but he will go to the legislature, where he will get less money, but more fun, --- Andrew Carnegie swore that his personal property in New York City was not worth over $3,500,000 and that he owed $8,400,000. If that be true the old ironmaster is on the high road to die a pauper—his life-long hobby. The statement ought to make the proverbial Indian smile. Albert Johnson didn't do a thing to one Stan Warburton. "We told you so." Humphrey, Johnson, La Follette, Falconer and Bryan will be Washington's next congressional delegation. What a mixture. Teddy's tidal wave in Washington did not elect either the Democratic or the Bull Moose ticket. Byron Phelps has never lost a political battle and he will make an excellent auditor. Ole Hanson's tribute to the late John L. Wilson was soul-touching. George Fletcher Cotterill, mayor of Seattle, seems destined to face a recall. He takes a fighting view of it. G. W. H. Davis, secretary of the Brewers' Association, is silent over the election returns, but he looks as if something had happened to the other fellow. Walter E. Clark, governor of Alaska, got all the election returns he could stand and sailed Wednesday for the jungles of Alaska. Wallace Mount, Overton G. Ellis and Judge John F. Main will continue members of the supreme court. W. W. Black ran for supreme judge for spite and he is still running. Frater, Ronald, Albertson, Dykeman, Gilliam, Tallman, Mackintosh, Humphries and Everett Smith will be the next superior court judges of King County. Dr. Mark A. Mathews, moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly and pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, has returned from a review trip of his work. PatrioticMr. Bryce, the British Ambassador, tells a brief story to illustrate the exalted opinion that he thinks Americans generally have of their nationality. It was in a schoolroom, and during a review of history since the creation. "Who was the first man?" the examining teacher asked. "Washington," hastily replied a bright boy, quoting a familiar slogan, "first in war, first in peace, first——" "Wrong. Adam was the first man." "Oh," the pupil sniffed disgustedly, "if you are talking about foreigners——." New York Tribune. ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1912. ITICIANS TOPICS IN BRIEF.

In spite of the fact Woodrow Wilson of humble birth, looking at him, millionaire's standpoint, yet he elected president of the United States, too, by the largest electorial was ever given to a man running office. Mr. Wilson is the first nearly a century that was elected presidency, who was born in the though Andrew Jackson of Tennessee president at the death of His father was a Presbyterian presidency seems that the boy inherited of his father to go higher, and from hood he has been endeavoring. He may never have entertained cific hope of being president of the States or even president of Prime he struggled at every point to go higher, and so on and upward he he grew older, until he finds him head of the nation. Sheared of influence over him it is the common opinion that, he is one of God's and that if there be such a the "ideal American," Woodrow Wilson of them. The life and ambitions row Wilson prove beyond a doubt that, there is always rooftop, if you will only work to Every boy in the United States be in line for the presidency country, as is so often argued, is no doubt but that every boy, who of the proper stuff, is in line for usefulness, which will leave his on the sands of time. In spite of the fact Woodrow Wilson was of humble birth, looking at him from the millionaire's standpoint, yet he has been elected president of the United States, and that, too, by the largest electoral vote that was ever given to a man running for that office. Mr. Wilson is the first man for nearly a century that was elected to the presidency, who was born in the South, though Andrew Jackson of Tennessee became president at the death of Lincoln. His father was a Presbyterian preacher and it seems that the boy inherited the spirit of his father to go higher, and from childhood he has been endeavoring to do so. He may never have entertained the specific hope of being president of the United States or even president of Princeton, but he struggled at every point to get a step higher, and so on and upward he went as he grew older, until he finds himself at the head of the nation. Sheared of his party influence over him it is the concensus of opinion that, he is one of God's noblemen, and that if there be such a thing as an "ideal American," Woodrow Wilson is one of them. The life and ambitions of Woodrow Wilson prove beyond a reasonable doubt that, there is always room at the top, if you will only work to get there. Every boy in the United States may not be in line for the presidency of the country, as is so often argued, but there is no doubt but that every boy, who is made of the proper stuff, is in line for a life of usefulness, which will leave his footprints on the sands of time. Democratic Principles Undying. With the executive and the branches of the government in all of the Democratic party it is even stalwart Republicans that, be no side-stepping on the tariff country will be given an opportunity see what there is in the free-ory that has been advocated so much by the Democratic partisans. The tion that nominated the President squarely on record as favor trade and Mr. Wilson and his advocates made free trade the issue in the campaign. The vote with favor to their pleadings and sult Woodrow Wilson received the presidential vote of any other party has ever sought the presidency. The party to now side-step on the give to the country a compromise would be a gross deception and a mooted question would be no need tested out than under Republican free trade is the panacea for the ills and misfortunes of the Union of America, then give it to us no en doses, but in carload lots. With the executive and legislative branches of the government in the hands of the Democratic party it is hoped by even stalwart Republicans that, there will be no side-stepping on the tariff and the country will be given an opportunity to fully see what there is in the free trade theory that has been advocated so many years by the Democratic partisans. The convention that nominated the President-elect went squarely on record as favoring free trade and Mr. Wilson and his partisan advocates made free trade the paramount issue in the campaign. The voters listened with favor to their pleadings and as a result Woodrow Wilson received the largest presidential vote of any other person that has ever sought the presidency. For that party to now side-step on the issue and give to the country a compromise measure would be a gross deception and the much mooted question would be no nearer being tested out than under Republican rule. If free trade is the panacea for the financial ills and misfortunes of the United States of America, then give it to us not in broken doses, but in carload lots. Whole Government Democratic.

Thomas Jefferson borned the Democratic party soon after our Nation was born and it has lived on and on until the present time.

If it has profited by its sad experience, may perhaps, it will again be given a long lease of life in directing the affairs of this government, but if President-elect Wilson, after assuming the duties of the office, permits the hot-headed man from the South to domineer his administration, it will hardly last its allotted four years, much less to be returned to power for another four years. Republican Party's Defeat. The signal defeat of the Grand Oblity is another reminder that, a house vided against itself is bound to fall. Foolish to think that this defeat means going to pieces of the party, for, in opinion of the writer, it will be aspletely united four years from now ever was, but in the meantime it will go a complete renovation and the big little u will be exterminated. Deny much as we will or may, yet it is a that special interests have been given tirely too much consideration by the office, not only for the good of the u but for the good of the country, and cleaning out which it got last Tuesday prove a blessing in disguise. Since the Republican party has directed the tinies of the United States, though of those years there was a Democratic dent, but for the next four years, least for the next two years the Dem party will have absolute control of country, and the Republicans will be erless to prevent any kind of legislation they may see fit to enact.

Deny it as much as we will or may, yet it is a fact, that special interests have been given entirely too much consideration by those in office, not only for the good of the party, but for the good of the country, and the cleaning out which it got last Tuesday will prove a blessing in disguise. Since 1860 the Republican party has directed the destinies of the United States, though eight of those years there was a Democratic president, but for the next four years, or at least for the next two years the Democratic party will have absolute control of the country, and the Republicans will be powerless to prevent any kind of legislation they may see fit to enact.

Had not that paper exposed the duplicity of Bob Hodge he would have swept the state with a no less decisive vote than that given to Theodore Roosevelt. In defeating Hodge the Post-Intelligencer may have succeeded in defeating its own candidate for governor, but Lister, the Democrat, a thousand times over to Hodge. Bob Hodge made his campaign on his humble origin stunt, and appealed to the voters 3 on the grounds that, the higher ups, politically speaking, were against him because he had been a working man and had sympathies for the working man, and that he had been grossly misrepresented by the "paid press" as to his life, but in answer to that statement, the public records were brought forward and they proved him guilty as charged. This state is Republican, but the voters prefer even a Socialist, if he be honorable and upright, to a Republican with a disgraceful record. The Mver Trial. For the past two weeks the trial of E. ward F. Myer has been in progress in the federal court of Seattle, which has attracted almost universal attention. Whether guilty or innocent Mr. Myer is charged with having laid the plans whereby the government was buncoed out of $50,000 and perhaps even more. The remarkable feature about this trial is, the accused is a Negro while his accomplices were leading white men of the community. There is no homestead in stealing, but the Negro, if Mr. Myer is guilty as charged, is fast rising above the station of life of petty thieving, as he is so often pictured by the cartoonists in great publications. Mr. Myer's attorney Will H. Morris, however, takes the other view of it, and declares, "My client is being jobbed by the white men, some for the sake of hiding their own peculation with the government funds, while others pure because they are so steeped in race prejudice that, they would not stoop to take an kind of a low dirty advantage of a Negro. If by so doing, it meant his removal from a position of trust which he held among them. We hoped there is nothing in Mr. Morris' allegation, not that we desire to seize Myer convicted, but because we hate a bad to think an intelligent white man would be guilty of so low and contemptible an act.

Jack Johnson's Troubles. Four indictments have been returned against Jack Johnson, the pugilistic champion, under the Mann Act for importing women for immoral purposes, and he is now under a $30,000 bond. If Jack Johnson has broken the law he deserves the punishment of the law and we hope he gets it, but it looks to us as if all this publicity is given to it because Jack is a Negro and the women are Caucasians. Had Johnson mistreated girls of his own race in a similar manner the federal authority would have considered it beneath their dignity to give it a moment's consideration. How can the white woman be other than good when the standing army of the government will be called out to make her good, and, on the other hand, the same army will be turned loose on the defense less black girl.

Never again will his admirers assemble about him and listen to his pleasing reminiscences. The Republican conventions of the future for years yet to come will drop a tear at the vacant chair for so many years occupied by John L. Wilson. The convention halls will never again resound to the reverberating echoes of Wilson, Wilson, Wilson! The delegates of the future convention will not again listen to his masterly eloquence. But yesterday a tower of strength at home and abroad, today, but a memory. So conspicuous were his thoughts and actions among those with whom he lived and did business that, to think of him dead and buried is like unto aream. Those of us who loved him drop a tear over his memory and those of us who hated him are silent, for of the dead let no evil be said. The history of the state of Washington to the time of his death can not be accurately written without being a history of John Lockwood Wilson. Not only was he active in shaping the early destinies of the state, but he was no less active in the selection of others, who formed and fashioned Washington into one of the great states of the Union. Know you not John L. Wilson? Then you know not your own state and her public affairs. No public function of the state of Washington for the purpose of promoting her enterprises and industries was complete without John L. Wilson participating therein. For such functions he was as eagerly sought by his enemies as his friends. The place he made for himself among his fellowmen in the state of Washington not only will not be soon filled, but it is very doubtful if another will ever occupy a similar position. Those of us who met him and knew him on the great highway of life will never forget him. Whether we happened to love or hate him, when he lived, the mention of his name will always awaken memories of the past. We will think of him as either being an ally or an opponent and in either instance John L. Wilson was the central figure. He was a patron saint of Republicanism and fought nobly for its principles. In spite of his failing health, when he saw its flag being trailed in the dust, he rushed to its rescue and the weeks of campaigning he did in the state of Indiana, his former home, trying to save the day for Republicanism, cost him his life, and his spirit passed to the God, who gave it, as the shadow of defeat gathered over the Grand Old Party that had been so dear to his heart. Since 1897 the editor of The Seattle Republican has followed the political leadership of John L. Wilson. Whether political success or misfortunes befell him, his office door always swung open to us, when it was all talked over. He had few, if any, political secrets that he withheld from us. His political ambitions and aspirations he freely unbosomed to us. We drank freely of his cups of political disappointments with the hope that it might in some way lighten his load. With a fervor that was agin to devotion we entered into the spirit of his ambition to return to the United States senate and was no less sick at heart over his failures than he himself. As to what the attitude of The Seattle Republican would be over any political aspiration he might have, either directly or indirectly, Senator Wilson never had to speculate; he knew in advance that, he would have its hearty support. Its columns were not only open to him, but he always had the absolute right of way. To us his death was a severe shock, yes, so severe that we have not language to express our feelings. Our political affiliations with John Lockwood Wilson will ever be of the sweetest memories. His faults, if any, to us were so completely overshadowed by his favors that we either did not see them at all or overlooked them. HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON. --- FRIDAY.

He was evidently untrue to the white woman he called his wife, which drove her to commit suicide, and he had no sooner returned from her tomb than he began to lionize a bunch of others, and became defiant when the parents of one of the girls protested. In good plain English, he was a damphool and deserves no mercy. Turkey’s Troubles Many. The Sick Man of Europe, as the Turk has been styled, who has ruled the Balkan country for centuries, with an iron hand, is on his knees suing for peace, after hav- ing been beaten in every battle, in which he has engaged within the past month with the lesser governments thereabouts. Italy re- cently gave him a severe drubbing, which cost him the most of his African posses- sions, and now it looks as if he will be completely driven out of Europe. Turkey’s troubles are due to the fact that, the of- ficial class was not satisfied with domineer- ing the small governments in the Balkins, but they became equally oppressive to the Turks themselves, which brought about in- ternal dissensions, which made the whole country an easy victim to the combined armies of its enemies. A house divided against itself is bound to fall, and Turkey now fully realizes the truthfulness of the theory. BECKER CONVICTED OF MURDER. Many New Yorkers who stood aghast at last summer’s revelations of police corrup- tion, were found, after they had taken sec- ond thought, asserting that the successive disclosures would eventually go far toward curing the city of its ‘“‘police disease.’”’ And it is this thought which seems to have been uppermist in the minds of metropoli- tan editors in their discussion of the trial jury’s decision that former Police Lieuten- ant Charles Becker is guilty of murder in the first degree for having brought about the death of Herman Rosenthal, gambler. There is a secondary satisfaction in the obtaining of a verdict after a trial of only fifteen days, and just three months and nine days after Rosenthal’s murder. This, we are told, establishes a record for im- portant criminal cases in New York. Out- side of New York, the feature which at- tracted most attention to this case was the appearance of the picturesquely named group of gun-men and gamblers, and their revelations of the inner workings of New York’s underworld. It is rare, avers the Baltimore Sun, ‘‘that the world has an op- portunity to study at close range such ex- perts in practical criminology,’’? and the Philadelphia Inquirer comes out with the unqualified assertion that ‘‘nothing penned by Hugo, Flaubert, or Zola ever reached the depths of infamy, the darkness of civil- ization, the heinousness of crime nor the grimness of tragedy equal to the testimony in the trial of Lieutenant Becker.’’? It was around ‘‘Jack’’ Rose’s testimony that the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN prosecution built their case. His story of his dealings between Becker and Rosenthal, and between Becker and the actual mur- derers, told quietly and in fullest detail, unshaken by cross-examination, seems to have made the impression upon the jury which the District Attorney expected— Literary Digest. IRISH JUDICIAL REFORM AGITATED. Tt is claimed that the cost of keeping the courts of Ireland is greater than that of any other country. Ireland has been called the most ‘‘over judged’’ country in the world. The following figures show sal- aries paid from 1911 to 1912 to judges alone: Bourteen Supreme Court Judges__$276,270 Fourteen Supreme Court Judges_-$276,270 Four Land Commission Judges.--- 160,000 Twenty-one County Court Judges. 158,000 Cireuit Allowances -------------- 14,595 Motil oc oa 2s ee ee eNO BaD In addition to these supreme judges, there are sixty-five resident judges and four others whose salaries amount to $254,- 225. Then, there are other costs in ad- ministering the law, which make a total of $906,045. Every man, woman and child in Treland is taxed $3 a year for the cost of administering justice alone. This ques- tion of useless expense—useless because the work could be done by just half as many officers as now have their hands in the pockets of the people for its $4,250,000 population is being discussed in Treland, and that there must soon be a change is plainly evident. Among the most ardent movers in the plan of political reform is Lord Anthony McDonnell, who is vigorous in his arraignment of the present judicial system. HOME MISSION CAMPAIGN. Complainers who have been saying that the Church is not doing enough to better social conditions will soon have an op- portunity to learn the real facts. The third week in November (17-24) has been set aside as ‘‘Home-mission Week,’’ with par- ticular services appointed for ecah day for the study of the social and religious prob- lems in American life. ‘‘It will be non- sectarian, educational in character, and there will be no appeal for money.’’ We quote from The Ladies’ Home Journal (November) an abstract of the plans issued by the Home Missions Council, which is composed of twenty-seven general boards engaged in national home-mission work, and the Council of Women for Home Mis- sions, made up of nine women’s boards, rep- resenting a church membership of twenty millions. To the ecaviler at Chureh bhack- wardness this proposition is offered: “Tf it could be demonstrated that Ameri- ca’s greatest problems are fundamentally moral questions—and our wisest statesmen have said they are—then it must be conced- ed that an unselfish ageney which annually spends millions of dollars for the develop- ment of great moral ideals, and enlists thou- sands of workers to apply them to human life, is worthy of the respect and support of the nation,”’ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1912. A few fundamental statements are then given: “The American home-mission enterprise, as represented in the various mission boards of our country, is one of the biggest, broad- est, bravest movements in the United States, because it stands for the physical, social, economic, intellectual, and religious welfare of all the people. ‘Home-mission Week’ is an attempt to impress upon every man and woman of the churches of every evangelical denomination in this country the supreme importance of saving America for the Kingdom of God through the es- tablished agencies of the Church. It will be the culmination of a campaign of educa- tion through the use of literature, the press, study-class, and conferences. “The subjects selected for discussion dur- ing the week are: “Sunday, November 1—‘Our Country’s Dept to Christ.’ ‘Units in Making Our Country God’s Country.’ “Monday, November 18—‘American In- dians, Africans, and Asiaties.’ “Tuesday, November 19—‘The Frontier and the Island Possessions.’ “‘Wednesday, November 20—‘The Immi- grants.’ “Thursday, November 21—‘The Rural Regions and the Cities.’ “Friday, November 22—‘ American Social Problems.’ “Saturday, November 23—‘Prayer and Fellowship.’ “Sunday, November 24—‘Our Country’s Opportunity for Christ.’ ‘Unity in Mak- ing Our Country God’s Country.’ ’’ The central office in New York has been organizing committees in the 2,500 cities and towns in WHERE’S THE REST????? GREAT BIRD RESERVE. Through the munificence of Mrs. Russel Sage, Marsh Island. containing about 75.000 acres. situated along the Gulf Coast of Tonisiana, was purchased and set aside as a great game preserve. The purchase price was $150,000. Marsh Tsland has vreviously heen one of the greatest slauchtering places in the Tinited States for wild ducks. robins and various other snecies of migratory fowl. The establishment of such a preserve as this will not onlv save the lives of count- less thonsands of birds, but will be of great service to the farmers of the North and Sonth. Mr. MeThennv. who has alreadv accomplished much for the protection of birds in this state. has been placed in charge of the new nreserve. Tn sneaking of conditions whieh have heretofore ob- tained. said: ‘‘Everv person who knows ahont the oreat annnal migration of birds from the moner lakes and nlains reeion down the Mississinni Vallev to the Gulf will anvreciate the vital necessity for feed- jne gromnds alone the Gulf that are vro- tected from gunners. Todav bird sanetn- aries are inst as neecessarv as hird fond Tha feeding erannds for the birds in Tion- isiana and the absence of adeanate laws for the vrotection of birds have made that state, until this year, a veritable dark and
