THE SUICIDE ROUTE.
The editor of Appeal to Reason committed suicide a few days ago and now every publisher and his brother are out with an explanation of why he did it. The long and short of it, from our way of thinking is, he did it because he was crazy. Persons commit suicide when they no longer retain their reason. May, perhaps, he fancied ere he did so he would be better off by being out of the world, and perhaps he was correct, but what he thought and what made him think as he did, the living know not. The editor of the Times charges the rash act to his mental and moral degeneracy, and tries to prove his point. If those things were responsible for persons committing so rash an act, we wonder why the editor has not committed suicide years and years ago. Despite the fact thousands of persons in and about Seattle read the Times
then why does he remain silent under such a galling fire?
We, however, do not take much stock in the retribution theory, for when one is mean and degenerate enough to be real bad, such an one really thinks he is good, and if he is criticised for his ways he really believes he is being abused. Despite all of the cussedness the editor of the Times has been guilty of since he has lived in Seattle and before he came here, yet he flatters himself as being a dispenser of justice and mercy, and for that, the good God has permitted him to prosper over the efforts of his fellow men. Suicide is a disease of the brain that the living can not successfully diagnose and we suspect that the dead who does so is so absolutely free from all earthly cares that he has no desire to do so.
Will E. Humphrey, representative in Congress from the First Washington district, in a speech before the Methodist Brotherhood of the First M. E. Church of this city, made the prediction that, Vancouver, B. C., instead of Seattle would become the metropolitant city of the Northwest if American coastwise steamships had to pay portage through the Panama Canal. A vessel flying a foreign flag could load at New York or some other Atlantic Coast City and bring its cargo through the canal on the same footing as our coastwise vessels and unload at Vancouver and then distribute the cargo without duty to United States cities and towns. He feels certain that the canal will prove a detriment to Seattle in particular and the Northwest (United States) in general unless Uncle Sam's ships are sent through the canal free.
Ernest Lister, on the face of the election returns, has been chosen governor of the state, but the friends of Governor Hay are not satisfied of the accuracy of the returns and will probably ask the legislature to have a recount of the votes. If they have any reasonable grounds on which to base their demand then, despite the fact that, it will cost the taxpayers $100,000, the recount should be had. It's of little concern to the average voter and taxpayers whether Lister or Hay is governor, but they are deeply interested in honest elections and fair and impartial counts. If, therefore, either Lister or Hay has cause to think and verily can make a respectable showing in that direction that, he has not been given a square count, the expense to the contary notwithstanding a re-count should be ordered. An honest count should not be opposed by any one regardless of who may win in the final outcome.
J. C. Gregory, of the Bothell Sentinel, is threatening to re-buy the Auburn Argus, his first love, and if he does he will make an effort to completely corral the legal publications of the country.
VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 36
PERSONALS
The Seattle Republican would be glad to get a legal notice from you. Main 305 tells the tale.
Billy Rupp only had to add a "ture" to his name to designate the name of the disease that put M. E. Hay out of office.
Dr. Stewart and eight other quack doctors have recently felt the strong arm of the law and the feeling is still going on.
John B. Gordon is one justice of the peace from a salary standpoint, that has the Superior court judge laid in the shade.
One Vote Sampson will have to go to the Supreme Court to enjoy his legal right to a two-months' Superior court judgeship in King county.
Honest Bob Hodge! Where in hell did we hear that name before? It must have been there as all avenues of escape were carefully guarded.
Dr. Leonard's corroborated denial of an alleged attack on the order of Knights of Columbus on his part seems to leave some one in an awkward position.
Mrs. John L. Wilson will not return to Seattle for some time. She is now in New York with her daughter, where she will remain for some months.
Byron Phelps may be a Bull Mooser of the forever dye, but he has been a Republican so long that, it's hard for him to learn new tricks in his old age.
Governor-elect Lister is absolutely correct in his statement that, "I was elected as much by Republicans as Democrats." Now, when he is governor, let him act like it.
Ernest B. Herald recently married the widow of George Edward Adams and they are now on their honeymoon. Surely has Miss Cleary's lots fallen in pleasant places as the years go by.
Howard D. Taylor's friends claim a majority of the members of the house favor his election. There are 48 Republican members and 48 Democrats and Bull Moose members and one Socialist. If the Bull Moose and Democrats should unite Mr. Socialist would simply be IT.
Kenny Beaton may be able to convince Lister that, if he had not boosted Bob Hodge as hard as he did he, Lister, would not have been elected, and therefore, he, Beaton, should be Lister's private secretary and thereby become patronage distributor and thereby get "his dollar back."

WOES OF THE NEWSPAPER MAN
Original Cooperation.
First Record in History of the Organization of the First Printers' Board of Trade. Said a primitive man as he sat in a tree, Where a wolf, seeking food, had caused him to flee: "Competition is fierce, I am tired of strife. A sabre-toothed tiger has eaten my wife. My children have gone the same way, one by one; The life I am leading is not any fun.
"In front of his cave over there on the hill Is a man whom for weeks I've been trying to kill. If he sees I am helpless up here in a tree, It's a ten-to-one-shot he will kill and eat me. It's gotten my nerve, this competitive game I wish there was someway to alter the same."
Now the man on the hill had not eaten that day,
So, armed with a club, he had stolen away,
And chance led him straight to the tree where the man
Sat musing upon the competitive plan.
"Ha! Ha!" he exclaimed, "here's some good easy meat;
My wife and the children will now have a treat."
Said the man in the tree, "Hold on! Over there In those rocks are a couple of cubs of a bear. It would not be safe to attack them alone,
But together we'll strip them of hair, hide and bone.
Their flesh is quite tender, for both there's enough—
As for me, I am lanky and stringy and tough."
Now the man from the hill was suspicious because
The idea was opposed to competitive laws;
But he finally consented, the bear cubs were slain
And together the rivals went hunting again. Thus primitive man, with unbounded elation, Discovered the blessings of co-operation. Now, isn't it strange there should still be a man Who favors the ancient competitive plan? F. J. H., in Boston News Bureau.
THE NEWSPAPER MAN.
(By Hector Fuller.)
Our eyes are thick for slumber and our brains are tired and stale;
Nerves we have none to speak of, yet we never dare to fail.
There are always cries for "copy," and they never cry in vain,
For the Press's need is cruel and reeks not of our pain.

SHE NEWSPA
Through the endless summer evening when we should be with our wives,
We are endlessly recording all the tales of other lives.
We recount the deeds of heroes; there are new ones every day;
Or are revelling in scandal for—about a teamster's pay.
We greet the new-fledged statesman; self- important, great, elate;
We warn the politicians what to do to save the state;
We clink glasses with good fellows; yet we've got to keep our head
For the scandals of the living and the virtues of the dead.
There are some that seem to envy the positions that we hold,
To think that our typewriters are like pens of beaten gold;
For we still keep happy faces—though our homes we seldom see,
And the smiles of wife and children are denied to such as we.
But I guess we'll keep on going; take assignments; do the work;
We may loaf, or drink, or gamble, but our tasks we may not shirk;
For it's in our blood—the fever—and we die off one by one—
But the Press goes on forever, for its work is never done.
PRINTERS' PIE
The make-up man in a rural weekly in British Columbia walked the floor most of the night with "Baby Darlint" in his arms, and next day mixed up items reporting an auction sale and a wedding ceremony. The description ran as follows:
"Charlie Blank, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J. Blank, was disposed of at public aution to Margaret Dash, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dash, of lot four, sixth concession, in the presence of eighty guests, including two mules and nine head of horned cattle. Rev. J. Binks tied the nuptial knot, averaging 1,200 pounds on the hoof. The beautiful home of the bride was very tasteful decorated with one set of harness, nearly new; before the ceremony Mendelssohn's Wedding March was given softly by twenty-one five-year old milch cows, looking perfectly charming in a light spring wagon, top buggy, open buggy and wheelbarrow. The groom is a well-known young man, popular in society circles of about thirty-eight Berkshire hogs, while the bride is an accomplished and talented teacher of a drove of Poland China shoats, pedigree furnished if desired. Among the many presents were one hundred bushels of potatoes, one drag harrow, hay fork, rope and pulleys, and other articles too numerous to mention.
"The bridal party left on yesterday's boat on an extended trip, six months on approved note, four per cent off for cash."

AND THE PRINTER PIED TYPE ON WEDDING.
The country editor has trials of various kinds of his own and some have worse troubles than others. An Arkansas man had written an article about a wedding that had occurred in his town and gave it to a printer to be set in type. The printer had been indulging to a limited extent in hydrant water, and he got the wedding article mixed up with a public sale notice and the whole thing appeared like this:
Public Sale—William Jones, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Jones, was disposed of at public auction to Miss Lucy Anderson on my farm one mile east of Leonardville in the presence of seventy cows, including the following, to-wit: Seven mules, twelve head of Rev. Jackman tied the nuptial knot, with crinkly horns and one muley cow. The beautiful home of the bride was tastefully decorated with one Blackhawk corn planter, one sulky hay rake, one feed grinder, one set of double harness nearly new and just before the ceremony was pronounced the bride's sister played one Jersey cow fresh in the spring, carrying a large bunch of flowers in her hand and looking charming in one set of sleigh bells, six shocks of corn, three ricks of hay, one grindstone, Mouseline de soie, and trimmed with about ten bushels of wheat. The groom is a well known Durham bull, with ring in nose, and has always stood well with six Duroc hogs, while the bride is an accomplished driver with flowing mane and tail. Among the beautiful presents were two sets knives and forks, one steam engine, one riding plow, one wheelbarrow, go-cart, bob sled and other articles too numerous to mention. The bridal couple left for an extended honeymoon trip. Terms: Twelve months cash. Lunch will be served after the sale after which Mr. and Mrs. Jones will go to housekeeping in a hay-mow full of hay and two corn cribs in a cozy house near the corner of Main and chickenhouse close by. Colonel L. B. Bray, auctioneer.
The newspaper man when he wants a little money tells through the columns of his paper that there are a number of his subscribers, in arrears and then when a fellow comes in from the country and pays his subscription the fact is often announced in the paper as though it were a rarity that any one paid his subscription. The merchant when he has a big bill to meet often announces that he is to have a slaughter sale, selling goods below cost. The doctor when he is short operates on some poor fellow with a heap of money. No business or profession is without its resources for gathing in the coin when it is absolutely necessary to raise the needful. Not even the minister of the gospel is without the means at his command of buying his wife the latest style gown. The plays on the fancied affections of the young people often serves the purpose as the following incident proves: The preacher was annoyed by the

sound of whispering coming from the semi-
darkness under one of the galleries. At
last he paused in his sermon and declared:
“Tf the young people making love under
the gallery do not come to me in the vestry
before service next Sunday morning, I will
name them to the church.’”’ It was a chance
shot, but next Sunday found twenty couples
awaiting him in the vestry. He married the
whole bunch to prevent a reeurrence of
the disturbance.
SEATTLE THEATRE.
Those who like thrills with their comedy,
in other words, everyone who has a taste
for melodrama well acted, will find a regu-
lar 12-course banquet of it at the Seattle
Theatre for one week commencing next
Monday night, November 25, when Bailey
and Mitchell will offer Rex Beach’s play of
the Far North, ‘‘The Spoilers.’’
There are five acts in the ‘‘Spoilers’’ and
each seems to try and outdo the other
in exciting climaxes. The story deals with
a ring of crooks who, under the guise of
the law, jumped the valuable claims in the
vicinity of Nome during the early gold rush
in the North. Study of the situation was
personally made by the author and most
of his characters are sketched from life,
Struve, McNamara, Glennister, Judge Still-
man and Cherry Mallotte in the play, are
well known to the residents of Nome in
the early days of the gold fever.
AT THE EMPRESS.
Next week the following program will
prevail during the week:
Extraordinary announcement! Exclusive
engagement over the S. & C. Cireuit of
John B. Hymers ‘‘The Macy Models,’’ with
Juan Villassana and a company of four-
teen, mostly girls.
Pauline Fletcher & Co., in an up-to-date
comedy playlet, ‘‘The Girl With a Taking
Way.’’ There’s a laugh in every line.
Virginia Grant, my lady dainty in pretty
songs.
A natty duo, De Vere & Lewis, present-
ing a refined musical offering.
The unctuous comedian, Don Carney,
original monologue and syncopated piano-
logue.
The clever canine comedians, Jacobs’
Dogs.
Twilight pictures.
THE ORPHEUM.
Next week will put on the following spe-
cialties :
Paul Dickey & Co., in ‘‘The Come Back,”’
a romance of the campus.
T. Roy Barnes and Bessie Crawford pre-
sent ‘‘The Fakir and the Lady.’”’
High Life Trio, in music and songs.
The London Hippodrome dancers, Oscar
and Suzette, creators of the back-to-back
waltz.
The Three Bremens, the imps of the play-
grounds.
Lew Cooper, character songs.
De Witt Young and Sister present ‘‘The
College Boy Juggler.’’
World’s events in motion pictures.
In Greater New York a Mr. Shutt was
married to a Miss Up. If their offsprings
do not Shut Up then they will not jointly
partake of their parents’ pedigrees.
Chicago is credited with having a Mr.
Waffle, a Mr. Maple and a Mr. Sirup
among her prominent business men, and it
has been suggested that, the trio go into the
restaurant business and make a fortune out
of their names.
Munsey’s Magazine, it is reported, has
offered Theodore Roosevelt, he of Bull
Moose fame, a salary of $100,000 annually
to take editorial charge thereof. That’s
some salary, but in that capacity Teddy is
worth every cent of it.
When George Hagerdorn of North Yaki-
ma shot to death George Ogburn and
wounded George De Foe in a jealous rage
he did no more than any man should have
done, but he showed the white feather,
when he tried to hide behind the skirts of
his wife, who had played him false and,
who was the sole cause of the tragedy.
Men who despoil the homes of their fellow
men as did George Ogburn deserve death.
Haderdorn was eighteen and Ogburn was
nineteen.
So perturbed is William J. Burns over
the attacks of the Seattle Daily Times that,
it is currently reported he is about to give
up the detictive business and go into the
foreign missionary work. The question is
being frequently asked, why is the editor
of the Seattle Daily Times so hostily in-
clined toward Burns? Did Burns ever do
him a wrong?
“Not guilty’? was the verdict of the
Federal jury that heard the case wherein
the government charged Edwin F. Myer
with having defrauded the treasury while
he was chief clerk at the Puget Sound Navy
Yard. The district attorney claimed that
Myer and his accomplices defrauded the
government out of $50,000 or more, but the
government attorney failed to make good
at the trial and the accused, as said above,
was acquitted.
Almost two years ahead of contract time
vessels will pass through the Panama Canal
and thereby realize the dream of two cen-
turies. France almost became bankrupt
over the proposition and turned it over to
Uncle Sam who took it up and it now is
practically a reality. Its completion gives
the United States government the key to
the Western hemisphere.
Kansas, Arizona, Michigan and Oregon
at the late election voted to enfranchise
women. Wisconsin voted on the question,
but went on record as being opposed to it.
There are ten states in the union in which
women have all the right of suffrage.
For the first time in quite a number of
years both the president and the vice-presi-
dent of the United States will be attendants
of the Presbyterian church at the National
Capitol, when Woodrow Wilson and T. R.
Marshall are inaugurated.
Judge Landis of the U. S. court refused
to liberate Jack Johnson on a cash bail of
$40,000, but insisted that he give a security
bail, and the same to be singed by some
one worth that amount of money in real
estate. Just why a security is better than
a cash bail is more than the average person
is liable to figure out, for with the most of
us the cash takes precedent over every-
thing else. It looks as if Judge Landis saw
a chance to send Jack to the county jail
and could not overlook the opportunity.
Johnson may have wilfully broken the law,
but he is at least entitled to an even break
before the law and not booted about simply
because he is a black.
A jury found Charles E. Houston and J.
W. Bullock guilty of defrauding the gov-
ernment, and Judge Cushman, before whom
the case was tried, imposed a fine of $2,000
and one year’s confinement in the King
county jail on each of them. The case will
be appealed. In view of the fact that Mr.
Houston did not profit by the transaction
it was thought by a great many persons
that only a jail sentence would be imposed
upon him.
Four more of the Rosenthal murderers. of
New York have been found guilty and sen-
tenced to the electric chair. They now oc-
ceupy cells in murderer’s row along with
Lieutenant Becker. There are still others
connected with that most damnable plot,
and unless the cogs of justice jump a notch
they, too, will get their’s.
Another peculiar coincident in names is
reported from Greater New York. A Miss
Crabbe has married a Mr. Apple, which
should be responsible for lots of crabbe-
apples.
John Schrank, the Hungarian, who shot
Theodore Roosevelt, has been given a life
sentence. We are not in sympathy with
death sentences for criminals, but no crime
is more deserving of death than when one
attempts to take another’s life without
cause, justification or excuse. Schrank got
off very light.
William J. Burns, the detective, on whom
the wrath of the editor of The Times has
from time to time, since the Wappenstein-
Blethen expose, been turned on, promises, as
soon as he takes care of a thing or two in the
East, to come in person to Seattle and make
it interesting for the editor of The Times.
Rumor has it that Burns says he ‘‘has the
goods on’’ the Colonel that will silence his
vituperative pen.

the native white citizen has for persons of
a different race or nationality to them-
sélves is so pronounced that a Methodist
congregation in Greater New York sold its
church property because the neighborhood
in which it was located was for the most
part composed of foreigners. But later,
thinking they perhaps had not shown just
the proper spirit toward the ‘‘stranger
within their gates,’ the money from the
sale was voted to the foreign missionary
work, but other money was raised and a
new church built in a locality from which
the foreigner was barred.
The population of Alaska as given by
the last census in round numbers does not
exceed 32,000. The area of Alaska is some-
thing like 600,000 square miles, or as large
as Norway, Sweden and Denmark, which
has a population of 10,000,000. The natural
resources of Alaska are 100 per cent more
valuable than those of Norway, Sweden and
Denmark, and the country as well adapted
to agriculture as the latter countries. Alas-
ka has sufficient resources as well as terri-
tory to sustain a population as large as the
present population of the United States.
If you are on the square and in the open
in your business relations with your fellow
man regardless of your color, complexion,
nationality or previous condition, business
men of other races and nationalities will
lend you a helping hand in times of need.
Recently a run was made on a bank in
Richmond, Virginia, which was owned and
operated by a Negro, and within an hour
after the run began two of the leading
white bankers of the city sent over $200,-
000 to the Negro’s rescue, and when the
depositors saw the money rolling in by the
wagon loads they took fright and the run
was broken. The owner of the bank, whose
word is better, perhaps, than his bond,
though he be black enough to spit ink for the
government, using the vulgar vernacular of
the street, yet his ‘‘race prejudiced,’’ white
banker brothers rushed to his rescue the
same as if he were of their complexion.
Right always wins in the long run.
POLITICIANS
Representative H. E, Foster, of the 47th
District, and the well known attorney, is a
candidate for Speaker of the House of Rep-
resentatives. Mr. Foster was a member of
the 12th session and was re-elected to suc-
ceed himself. It is contended on behalf of
the supporters of Mr. Foster, and his
friends generally, that he would make an
ideal presiding officer and that the business
of the session would be handled with the
greatest of skill.
Mr. Foster has been a resident of Seattle
for the past twelve years and is one of the
active lawyers in the city and has been ac-
tively engaged in the practice of law for
the past twenty-one years. Mr. Fsoter is
thoroughly familiar with all matters relat-
ing to the affairs of the state and country

generally, is an excellent parlimentarian
and an able lawyer. At the last session of
the Legislature on account of the extraor-
dinary knowledge Mr. Foster possesses of
the constitution and laws he became known
in that session as the ‘‘constitutional Law-
yer of the House’’and was by everyone re-
garded as an authority on everything relat-
ing to constitutional matters.
Tt is said by members of the last House
and by friends of Mr. Foster that he pro-
posed some of the most substantial legisla;
tion ever tendered the Legislature of Wash-
ington. Mr. Foster was the first one to
recommend a state bond issue for the pur-
pose of constructing a system of permanent
highways throughout the state, and present-
ed a bill for such purpose which was held
up and suppressed in the rules committee
of the last House, as well as many other
meritorious and valuable measures. Mr.
Foster guarantees to everyone and to every
measure, if elected Speaker, a fair and hon-
orable consideration. Mr. Foster’s friends
and supporters are urging his candidacy on
the grounds of his ability and the further
grounds that every measure and every mem-
ber will be given a fair and honorable con-
sideration. Measures which are suppressed
and killed will be killed on the floor of the
House and not suppressed in the rules com-
mittee. No measure or member will be dis-
criminated against and measures will be re-
ported out of the rules committtee in the
order in which they are received.
Mr. Foster is one of the industrious mem-
bers and should and will make an ideal pre-
siding officer, He is assured of support from
all factions in the state and is beyond ques-
tion the logical candidate for Speaker. He
is not making any unfounded claims about
his strength but when it comes to the selec-
tion of a Speaker all factions can safely
unite on him as he is known by everyone
to be not only able but a gentleman of in-
tegrity and will make a Speaker who will

not discriminate against any member or
any measure,
All people agree that if Mr. Foster is
elected Speaker he will not try to discrim-
inate against this county. No jobbing will
be countenanced. Mr. Foster now has more
strength among the members elect than any
other candidate, and should have no trouble
about his election. If Mr. Foster becomes
Speaker the business of the session will be
transacted with promptness and dispatch
and not left to the closing hours of the ses-
sion.
Otis M. Moore, in the early statehood
days of Washington, a well known news-
paper man, but who has been living in the
East for the past three years, returned to
Seattle last Tuesday and, so far as he now
knows, expects to make Washington his
home for all time to come. He founded
the Washingtonian of Hoquiam, and after
running it for years sold it to J. D. Dean.
He moved to Seattle and was for a number
of years city editor of the Times under
Colonel Blethen. He subsequently bought
the White River Journal at Kent and later
on traded it to Dean for the Washingtonian,
his first love, then a small daily. Later he
sold it to Albert Johnson. Laboring under
the delusion that he had all of the West
he wanted he journeyed back to Maine and
bought a farm. Three years, however, of
that life was as much as he could stand
and now he is ‘‘home again.’’ Albert John-
son has just been elected to Congress and,
may perhaps, Moore will re-buy the Wash-
ingtonian. Mr. Meore was some politician
in those early days as well as journalist.
Edward COudihee, sheriff-elect of King
county, has not named his deputies as yet
and he will not do so until he gets good
and ready. Cudihee is a man that never
goes off half cocked and he therefore is
going to take all the time he thinks he
needs to select such deputies as will serve
him best. It is thought that he will retain
Matt Starwich, his Republican opponent,
because Matt has made such an excellent
deputy in that neck of the woods. It is
also rumored that he will take care of
John W. Roberts, a former Hodge deputy,
who was let out of office because he did
not see fit to work for Hodge’s guberna-
torial efforts.
Alexander J. Falconer, one of Washing-
ton’s newly elected congressmen, has played
a lucky political game. He has always had
the opposition of the controlling political
faction in Snohomish county, and yet when
he himself went out for an office he always
got it. He was twice elected to the house
of representatives of the Washington legis-
lature against the wishes of the political
leaders of the county. He ran for state
senator against one of the most popular poli-
ticians of the county, and beat him to a fraz-
zle. He was advised by even his best political
friends to not make the run for congress, but
he did it just the same and won out. Surely,
surely, he was born under a lucky political
star.
Gay and Piper's Tribute to Wilson
FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 22. 1912
On Sunday morning, September 8th last, I with another friend, stood in the depot of this city saying "Goodbye, Senator—pleasant journey" to John Lockwood Wilson. He was leaving his home to visit his distinguished brother, the United States Minister to Mexico, Henry Lane Wilson, and his family. At that time Senator Wilson was in good spirits and apparent good health, though not robust, yet possessed, as we now see it, of an indefinable intuition of the closeness of that Grim Reaper which in time spare none. At that tiime he spoke, apparently as a casual remark, of the satisfaction he felt at the condition of his business affairs "should anything happen to me" and made some simple request of us in the event that anything should happen to him through which he might not come back. I however, expected his return; in no way did I think I was for the last time upon this earth saying to my beloved friend, "Goodbye, Senator—pleasant journey."
We were friends. For nearly a quarter of a century our friendship was constant, enduring, faithful and true. He would not have me today attempt to paint him as moral man without blemish or fault, but I do stand here an ddeclare that I never heard a critic attempt to point a fault or an enemy seek to uncover a blemish in him that I did not instantly find an excuse or a defense. Friendship and pity toward a fellow man are as incompatible passions as love and hate and the two have no abiding place in any breast toward any object, and on this occasion I proclaim that my friendship of and for John L. Wilson was such that I never saw in him serious fault or material defect.
I knew him well and to know him was to love him. He knew how to hold a friend because he knew how to be a friend, and his friendship once given was of that strain which possesses loyalty and fidelity, that grappled as bands of iron, and was as endurnng as the Rock of Ages because it was founded on Truth and in Love. I never heard him try to apologize for a friend,—never knew him to bear ugly tales, either to or from a friend. If his friend met adversity and he could help him, his words and efforts were gentle

and affectionate, his manner uplifting and reassuring; he knew how to help without debasement. I well knew my friend as congressman, as senator, as publisher of a great newspaper, as citizen and as husband and father, and in no relation of life was there aught for shame—aye,, there was in every relation a clean life and a splendid discharge of duties and obligations,—a close approach to that high standard of perfect ideals. I, in common with all his friends, was indeed very proud of

him, and rejoiced in his friendship. He had a way of doing things which was most effective and peculiar to himself. Challenged to combat, he was as brave as a lion and defiant as a giant, but withal, he was a modest man. I have seen him in his committee room of the House of Representatives and of the United States Senate when other members of intenational reputation would come in and in the most friendly way call out, "Hello, Jack—how is that great empire of yours out in the far north-west?" And before the ending of this friendly visit, the caller would be pledged to support some legislation which our representative was seeking to secure for this commonwealth. For in all walks

Tribute to of life, those who knew him best seemed to delight in helping him to secure measures which he was endeavoring to promote.
In one thing he was greatly misunderstood, for there seems to have been a popular estimate of him that he made "demands," when, as a matter of fact, he never made demands. He would advocate a cause or gently make a request—ofentimes no more than an intimation, which was usually crowned with success, but if, perchance, he met with failure, he
R. GAY
never bore resentment, much less a grouch.
Briefly (as all addresses must be upon this occasion) mention has been made of Senator Wilson as the owner and publisher of the Post-Intelligence. He assumed this great work when past fifty years of age and without previous training in that work, but he had an intuitive sense of a "good story,' of "newz,' and an appreciation of the public demand that a newspaper should have honorable character and stability, and he earnestly sought to meet those demands. But it is not of that I would speak,—it is of another matter. Senator Wilson loved peace and he became firmly convinced that the first great obligation of a newspaper,

as an individual, was cleanliness and an honest publication of legitimate news; he believed his paper should unceasingly labor for the upbuilding of this city and this great northwest and that all personal bickerings and spites toward competitors should forever cease. He did his full part to bring about this end with happy results. No pledged words of such a course were ever spoken. No alliance of offense or defense with any competitor exists or ever was entered into. They at all times were and now are honest competitors, each pursuing its own individual course, and it is to be hoped this wise policy will forever continue.
Just for a brief moment I gently open the door and enter the sacred precints of his home life, only enough, though, to speak of an ideal devoted husband, who faithfully kept his pledge to cherish his beloved wife, who has as girl given him her all in a sublime faith in his personal worth, which faith remained unshaken unto the end, and of his affection and inspiring love for his daughter and granddaughter. He loved them deeply, devotedly and strongly, and toward them was magnanimous, gallant, chivalrous. By them he was beloved unto devotion. He was their shield, indeed, to them, he was the embodiment of affectionate noble manhood. In his behalf, as in every other walk in life, we may safely use the old homely descriptive saying, "He was a well bred gentleman," for all his great qualities were of nature's implanting and he seemingly could not bend or stoop to aught that was base or ignoble.
Senator Wilson was an orator and a public speaker possessed force, charm and effectiveness to a wonderful degree. If we were to search for the secret of this power so strongly possessed by him, it would probably be best found in his great love for his fellow men and his exceptional knowledge of human nature.
The mortal life of John Lockwood: Wilson upon this earth is ended. In that Indiana town of his birth sods have been upturned there is a newly opened grave. It is winter. The birds do not sing; the grasses nestle not; neither doth the vine creep, but here and there is an evergreen, a sprig of myrtle, the amaranth, and the forget-me-not, emblematic of an immortality, [firmly believed
in by our departed friend, and
which is our solace and comfort
in this sad hour. Spring will
come again and with it the vines,
the grasses and the birds and
song, for Life never dies! And,
though we will never again see
the earthly form of Senator Wil-
son, yet we know that that which
was the real of him has not per-
ished,—that our real friend liveth,
though unseen by our eyes of
sense. And we will not forget his
genial personality, or his bouyant
optimistic broad outlook and sub-
lime faith in the destiny of his
country and the glorious achieve-
ments of his race. Not long ago
I heard him remark that it was
his firm conviction that the Anglo-
Saxon race, the Christian religion
and the Stars and Stripes were
all upon an onward march around
the world for the emancipation
and uplifting of the human race.
The spirit of our departed
friend abideth forever. That in-
definable something, which our
faith and religion teaches is in
the image and likeness of the Sup-
reme Creator of the universe,
could not perish but is immortal
and endureth forever. He has
gone upon his last long voyage,
and I this afternoon repeat what
I said but two months ago, ‘‘Good-
bye Senator—pleasant journey.”’
ADDRESS OF EDGAR B. PIPER
“Sixty-two years is the brief
span of life just closed for the
fallen friend whose death we are
here today to mourn and deeds
to commemorate, The memory of
men yet young runs back to a
time when this man’s life was yet
in its early youth; the expecta-
tion of men not old looks forward
now to the mortal certainty that
they, too, must in just a few years
join the hurrying and innumer-
able throng that has been happily
released from the fitful fevers of
the mortal flesh.
‘We here are awed and silenced
once again by the fall of a soldier
who has fought the battle we, too,
have been fighting—in the same
cause, at the same time, on the
same field, against the same foe—
the great battle of human exist-
ence and for human rights. He
was a contemporary ; therefore we
see through the glass darkly the
image of our own mortal destiny.
He was a captain in the active
service of the public; so we are
reminded once again that no man
Imoweth the place or the hour
when the messenger shall come.
He was a fellow journalist; so
each of us who are yet in the midst
of affairs is made to realize that
THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN
men may come and go, but the
lamp of human progress must and
will forever be kept aflame by
other hands. He was an honest
man, but the rain quenches the
spark in both the just and the
unjust. He was a brave man, as
he feared not death, so we who
knew him are consoled. He was
a good man; thus he rests well.
“We live in deeds, not years; in
thoughts, not breaths ;
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart
throbs; He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the nobl-
est, acts the best.
“T assume that I have been
asked to say a word here today
because I knew Mr. Wilson
through almost the entire period
of his residence in Washington

territory and state, and because
we were friends. I may be per-
mitted then to drop for just a
moment into personal narration
for I too, have been a living wit-
{ness to some of the events in
which he had a conspicuous and
honorable part. I first saw Mr.
Wilson at Olympia in 1889 during
the state constitutional conven-
tion. He had been in the territory
for about seven years, and then
had his home in Spokane. The
long struggle for admission of the
thriving and ambitious young
commonwealth to the union of
states had become a reality, for
the enabling act had been passed
by Congress, and ninety citizens
of the first rank had assembled at
Olympia, after due selection by
the people, to frame the state’s
organic law. This impressive
duty was discharged with great
formality and greater fidelity, and
the oceassion attracted the atten-
tion and enlisted the presence of
every important man in the ter-
ritory. Mr. Wilson was not a
member of the convention, but un-
doubtedly he might have been if
he had desired. I fancy the reason
was that his ambition lay in an-
other direction entirely.
“Being the staff correspondent
at the convention of The Post-In
telligencer, I interviewed Mr. Wil-
son ag to the purpose of his visit,
and he told me frankly—for pub-
lication—that he was a candidate
for representative in Congress for
the new state and he was making
his campaign. It was a character-
istic performance—open, straight-
forward and admirable. “There
was no guilt about Mr. Wilson, no
indirection or obliquity or false
pretense. He was what he was,
and he wanted what he wanted.
He despised the sinister schem-
ings of lesser men for place or
power through promotion of their
own ends by secret alliances or
arranged activities or inspired
publicity. His method was direct,
his language plain, his opinions
definite, his intentions positive,
and his destination always in
sight.
“Tater, at Walla Walla, was
held the first Republican conven-
tion, and Mr. Wilson was there
with the solid Spokane delegation
behind him. Its sole object was
to obtain his nomination for Con-
gress—a tribute both to his per-
sonal standing in his community
and to his efficiency as a politic-
ian,
“T have no design here of tel-
ling the story of the convention,
only to say ‘that Mr. Wilson’s
most formidable opponent for the
nomination was Ralph Oregon
Dunbar, a deserving and active
man, who had long been a useful
and widely-known citizen of the
territory. After Mr. Dunbar’s de-

a solatium in the unanimous nom-
ination for the supreme bench—a
termination of a spirited and in-
teresting contest that was satis-
factory to Mr. Dunbar’s friends,
and altogether fortunate for that
gentleman himself, since he re-
mained an honored member of the
supreme bench until he died re-
cently.
“The return of Mr. Wilson to
congress several times and his tri-
umphant election in 1895 to be
United States senator, his subse-
quent participation in the larger
activities of the state, and his ac-
quisition of the Seattle Post-In-
telligencer are as familiar to you
as they are to me, and they have
been abundantly illuminated by
others, so I shall pass them over
for a brief consideration of the
sentiments and forces that influ-
enced the formation of Senator
Wilson’s character and gave color
to his opinions and direction to
his great energies during his life.
“John Lockwood Wilson was
born in Indiana during the days
of the profound struggle over
slavery and the vital issue over
state’s rights.
“Tn such an atmosphere was the
boyhood of John Wilson passed,
and he grew to manhood amid the
scenes of reconstruction when all
men had been declared equal, the
nation had been saved, the ugly
head of treason at home had been
subdued and crushed, and the
memories of the bloody sesession
was still poignant and awful. I
do not seek to reopen old sores or
to revive partisan disputes, but
only to state the fact that with
the prespectors, the associates,
and the family of young Wilson,
the Republican party was the in-
carnation of patriotism and Re-
publican was synonym of patriot.
“Tf, then, in those latter days
of party disintegration, individual
forgetfulness of the past and com-
mon disregard for the memorable
lessons of fruitful and terrible ex-
perience we find John L. Wilson
stnading up straight in his par-
tisanship, in the firm belief that
it is a sacred obligation to be a
partisan—as it is—just as it is
a privilege and a responsibility to
be an American, we should not be
surprised or critical. It was in
his blood and in his spirit to know
what he knew and to believe what
he believed with all his might.
Catch then, oh, catch the transient
hour,
Improve each moment as it flies;
Life’s a short summer—man a
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1912.
Senator Wilson was a part of the
public life of territory and state.
Yet here now the chapter ends,
the curtain falls. But if it is over
for him, it is in a sense over for
us, for whatever comes, the day’s
doings are not to be the same, the
moving finger writes a new record,
with new names, new events, new
issues, new thoughts—new, yet
ever old, for there is nothing new
in human character, nothing new
in human destiny; only the old
story with an endless procession
of new actors. The lives of every
one of us who long knew Mr. Wil-
son touched at some point the
same affairs, the same-history, the
same onward march of time and
sweep of tide.
“This life was showered with
honors and the common portion
of human vicissitudes. This man
had friends who treasured him,
a family who loved him and a con-
stituency that trusted him, He
had a worthy part in mighty
events. He knew the great of a
nation, and they knew and honor-
ed him. He had a remarkable in-
heritance through a distinguished
ancestry of personal knowledge,
memories and associations cover-
ing the largest outstanding epi-
sode of our national history. He
contributed a notable share to the
upbuilding of a splendid state. He
was a teacher of sound moral pre-
cepts and a leader of political
thought through his fine news-
paper. He preached honest jour-
nalism. He owned sturdy convie-
tions. He had fixed ideals. He
lived uprightly and he died brave-
ly.”’
