Turkey is wondering what has happened to the dove of peace, since she has repeatedly signaled for it and it is not in sight. Uncle Sam has spent a good deal of money on the Panama canal to now have to have others say how he will run the darn thing. "The Colonel" enjoyed a love feast with the bull moose herd in Chicago the other day, but he wisely decided not to visit the Idaho herd. If Kit Gould's son-in-law had been trying to blow up his mother-in-law the average man would suspect "there is method in his madness. Mothers-in-law have been known to cause family explosions, but it's something new under the sun to learn that a son-in-law has taken to such work. If Dr. Roberts can teach foreigners to speak English correctly in a half hour, he could make a fortune by operating in the south a couple of weeks. General Sickles is not only in imminent danger of losing his war souvenirs and other personal effects, but his shortage with Uncle Sam may cause him to likewise lose his liberty. Temporarily, Carnahan's "private postoffice" was moved to the county jail, and Carnahan is a wiser but a poorer man. Uncle Sam does not think that "competition is the life of trade." A Rockefeller heir hopes to become a baseball star and gives good evidence of so doing. One thing is certain, if he does, he will add greatly to his granddad's accumulated millions. One of the most dangerous diseases in the United States is that of appendicitis, especially if the victim is worth a hundred thousand dollars, but if not, then it is not only not dangerous, but is simply the stomach. Within a few days more the elements will be pretty well represented in the journalistic world of Seattle. There will be the Sun, the Star, and the paper that constantly barks at the moon. Though he wandered for from his former haunts, yet Colonel Blethen, according to an editorial herein, taken from the Wisconsin State Journal, has not been forgotten. They know him if he is rich. In electing Woodrow Wilson president of the United States, it begins to look as if the voters made a sad mistake, as he should have been called to preach in some metropolitan church. Will the Democrats free the Philippines? is a headline. They may not do so, but they will try it, if by so doing they think they can gain a few votes for the next presidential election. The Rockefellers having cornered every other opportunity in the United States to get rich, are now seeking to corner the baseball game. Did you ever know of a more greedy set? If the white hopes have despaired of being able to knock Jack Johnson out, then we suggest they apply to Lucile Cameron's mother to complete the work so well begun by her and Johnson's championship will soon be a thing of the past. Within ten years Senator Wilson accumulated a half million dollars and that, too, almost without effort on his part. When fortune takes a notion to smile on some meritorious son or daughter she does not do so begrudgingly. He left it all to his wife and daughter, and why not? In spite of the fact the Democrats have a splendid working majority in Congress, yet they continue to fire Republicans and seat Democrats. It's been a long time since they had an opportunity and they are making much of it. We are curious to know how much that endorsement in the Westerner, a monthly magazine, cost the editor of the Times. It's the second publication of the state that has commended the gift of the chimes from the colonel to the University of Washington. May perhaps W. A. Raymond was not guilty, as concluded a jury of his peers, and may perhaps he was guilty, as declared his accuser, but whether actually guilty or innocent his two years in the county jail and his court trials will teach him to not mix with little girls—innocently or otherwise. If California has a recall law for county officials the prosecuting attorney at Los --- LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 publican 1912. VOLUME XIV, NUMBER 39 Angeles, who says he will put Darrow on trial January 6th next, then the citizens should recall him at once. He has no more chance of convicting Darrow than a snowball has of flying through hades, and he knows it, but he is too bull-headed to admit it. Washington has been so long in the wholesale divorce business that a deputy county auditor wants the legislature to make it possible for the state to operate a matrimonial bureau. No, kind and indulgent reader, the damphools are not all dead yet. No, dear reader, we are not prepared to say what would happen to the editor-in-chief of the Times if R. H. Thomson should again take charge of the city engineering department of Seattle, but we have our suspicions that the insane asylum would soon have a very distinguished patient. The building of good roads in the state of Washington or any other state for that matter, should be encouraged by every good citizen, but those good roads should be for the benefit of the men who till the soil and by no means for the sole benefit of the owners of fine automobiles. When the Times would have you believe a bunch of rich New Orleans men journeyed all the way from the Crescent City to the Queen City just to see a society production composed of a lot of giddy girls you know it's the old old story: "Saw it in the Times? Dam lie." We suspect Wilfred Laurier has been in a poker game with some American and stood pat on four aces to find the other fellow had four kings and an ace, which so embittered him that he was moved to say "the United States can not be trusted." Perhaps we would be taking chances with our liberty to say, the big six commission merchants on Western avenue, this city, are just ordinary thieves, hence we won't say it, but in the light of the evidence against them we will think whatever we damn please about them. If you got a note from The Seattle Republican and did not respond you are not only withholding from it what is legally due it, but you are precipitating a family row out of which the editor hereof will come badly disfigured. There is more in the answer to the question, "What is a stable government?" "When the party in power uses horse sense," than a joke, but if that be true, then for the next four years Uncle Sam need not expect to have a stable government. AROUND THE WORLD 2 In no form is the use of tobacco more objectionable than in the cigarette, with a young sap head at one end and a match at the other, and though there has been of recent years a great deal of anti-cigarette legislation, yet the output of the poisonous roll is rapidly on the increase. During the fiscal year of 1910 less than eight billion cigarettes were smoked, in 1911 nine and a quarter billion were smoked, but in the fiscal year of 1912 the record was broken and fifteen billion were smoked. Legislation does not always, if ever, correct an evil. While the United States still leads in the production of cotton, yet there are seventy-two other countries that have in recent years undertaken its production, and the most of them are well satisfied with their experiment. Why make any more noise over hanging men in Oregon than in other states of the Union? In every state in the United States the law says, who commits wilful murder must die either on the gallows or in an electric chair, though in Kansas it's optional with the governor, whether or not he signs the death warrant, and, if he never does, then the condemned person remains in the penitentiary until the warrant is signed or said criminal dies of natural causes. The four men in Oregon that are to swing today, unless respited by the governor, are red-handed murderers, and as long as it is the law to punish such criminals on the gallows the Oregon ones are deserving of no more consideration than those of other states. Blackmailers, so the story goes, are camping on the trail of President-elect Woodrow Wilson in quest of the silent cash. From the amount of money Mr. Wilson and his friends spent in the campaign the blackmailers have rightly conjectured that Mr. Wilson either has money to burn of his own or he can get it whenever he wants it, and they see no reason why he should not get them a piece of it. Colorado is the first state in the United States to vote a reward of $25 to any mother of a new born baby. This it is hoped will not only encourage child birth, but will help families in poor circumstances. The measure is all right as far as it goes, but the amount should be doubled. Dr. Crumb, United States minister to Liberia, died of African fever last week. Owing to Roosevelt's persistency in keeping him in the customs office in Charleston, S. C., the Democrats of that state talked strongly of another secession move. The Republican governors of the United States met in conference last week with the view of formulating some plan on which THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE WORLD the party could be reorganized so as to harmonize all factions. Not much, however, was accomplished. With former Governor Albert E. Meade in the role of a legislative lobbist before the next Washington legislature, it begins to look as if the automobile owners of the Northwest will get the necessary money to build good roads on which to run their $5,000 machines. Governor Blease is now in a class by himself, as the other governors of the Union passed strong resolutions denouncing his rash remarks as to his official action when mobs are formed to lynch human beings. Owing to the general European jealousy of each other, it is more than probable that the peace conference over the Balkin embroligio will result in leaving Turkey in a statu quo. If on the other hand Turkey is ordered to move out of Europe, then the real trouble in the Balkins will begin. Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representatives of Congress, broke two gavels in the first hour and ten minutes of the present session. At that rate a gavel trust would not be a bad thing for the members to take stock in. Recently a steamer left the New York dock for a 110 days' cruise around the world, and among its passengers were forty-two widows, eighteen bachelors and a preacher. Just how all of those forty-two widows expect to get husbands unless the members of the crew are pressed into service is more than we can explain. United States census statistics report 144,650 white and 218,355 black children in the United States, between 10 and 14 years of age, unable to read and write. So long as there are counties in the South that tolerate a condition like this, just so long will "criminals be to the manner born." In Wilcox county, Alabama, there are 11,000 black and 2,000 white children of school age. Last year but $3,569 were expended for the education of the black children, while $30,294 were expended for the education of the white children. No wonder 85 per cent of the criminals of Alabama are black. Some years ago Colonel Gaynor robbed the government out of something like $500,000 and for that he was arrested, and though he spent a fortune fighting the case he finally served a term in the penitentiary, and now his relatives have paid to the government $125,000 as a compromise for the whole, while Gaynor is a miserable outcast. It pays to be honest. The burning question of the Northwest just now is, is W. E. De Larm dead or FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1912 alive? If dead the devil, it is hoped by his creditors, is burning him, and if alive, then they want to get an opportunity to burn him until he is dead. A great philosohper has said, "To be poor but independent is almost impossible." Not almost impossible, Mr. Philosopher, but absolutely impossible as things are now run. An exchange says, "The devil in a print shop is sometimes a young lady." Yes, and sometimes an old lady, but that does not sound romantic enough. A Seattle man, who spent the past two years behind the bars charged with burglary, in the meantime winning two cases before the supreme court, will make application to be admitted to the bar on his release from jail, having improved his time studying criminal law. Having practiced behind the bars for two years he considers himself qualified to practice before the bar. Judging by the reputation of some Seattle lawyers, he no doubt is right.—Exchange. If the proposed law of Representative Kennedy, which will make it a felony for any one to give a check on a bank unless such person has sufficient funds in the bank to cover said check, ever becomes a law, it will work a hardship on as many persons with no criminal intention as on persons who gave checks with the sole intention of defrauding. The present law quite sufficiently covers the grounds, if business men will only exercise care in cashing checks. If an unkind word appears, File the thing away; If some novelty in jeers, File the thing away. If some clever little bit Of a sharp and pointed wit, Carrying a sting with it— File the thing away. If some bit of gossip come, File the thing away; If a scandalous, spicy crumb, File the thing away. If suspicion comes to you That your neighbor is not true. Let me tell you what to do— File the thing away. Do this for a little while, Then go out and burn the file. —John Kendrick Bangs. Even Pauline Wayne is to be displaced in Washington-by a Jersey cow, of course. Wall Street Journal. PUGET SOUND TRACTION COMPANY Is selling the Most Reliable Light and at a Reduced Cost.

Thomson, former city engineer of Seattle, got a leave of absence from his $15,000 a year job in Victoria, and ran over to Seattle on private business one day this week, and his presence in the city gave Col. Alden J. Times spasmodic fits to such an extent that, it looked as though the Colonel could not survive. Whether or not what the Times says in opposition to Thomson really disturbs him one way or the other, not even his closest friends know, as Mr. Thomson totally ignores everything that it says. Mayor Cotterill ran up against the real thing one day this week, when his veto of the Griffiths ordinance was overridden by the city council by such a majority as to make the veto look like thirty cents with not only one, but with two holes in it. The ordinance per se is perhaps a nuisance, but its passage over the mayor's veto shows there is not much harmony existing between the mayor and the city council, though both were elected under the non-partisan law now in existence in Seattle. John F. Murphy, prosecuting attorney for King county, and J. M. Glasgow, attorney for Peter Miller, the much-policed accused criminal, had a clash over in Tacoma over the case that is going to leave one or the other of them in an unsavory light. Miller may be as guilty as a dog of all he has been accused, but the treatment accorded him, while in the city bastile by Detective Tennant, is so repulsive that, the people on the whole would prefer to see Miller go free rather then be convicted at the behest of Tennant. John P. Hartman, one of Seattle, most enterprising citizens, who never loses an opportunity to take a hand in any worthy enterprise that is begun in the Queen City, is about to enter a new role, that of a newspaper man. While he will not be one of the editors nor even the business manager, yet he will be heavily interested in the Sattle Sun, the new paper that is being financiered and fostered in Seattle just now. He is not only one of the leading lawyers of the city, but is interested in one or two of the banks of the city as well as many commercial and industrial enterprises. As one of the directing hands of the new paper, it is sure to become from the very outset, a safe and sane journalistic venture. E. H. Wells, former editor of the Star, is about to launch the Seattle Sun as an afternoon paper, and though there is no great crying need for another evening paper in Seattle, yet we predict that the Sun is going to be a success from the very outset. It may not drive either one of the other evening papers out of the field, and it may not even lessen the amount of cash THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN they are daily taking in, but there are a whole lot of people in this community that are not pleased with either the Times or the Star, and the Sun, it is here predicted, will start off with a ten-thousand circulation on that account. "Saw it in the Times? Damn lie," has become such a recognized fact among the citizens of the Northwest that the paper, though widely circulated, is totally discredited, and in many instances, even hated. The Star is simply a journalistic abortion, from which you can neither get news or information. Yellow journalism of the Times and Star order has about run its course, and the people are now looking for reliable facts, put up in the best of language. Of course, the Times has lots of news in it every day in the week, but it is the kind of news that only appeals to the rabble. It is run as a personal organ of the editor-in-chief, through whose columns he vents his spleen on such persons as do not worship at his "chimes." It is therefore safe to bet that, the Sun is going to prove a winner from the very day it starts out. Here is hoping the Sun may soon rise to never set. O. M. Haroldson, a former member of the Washington legislature, and a well-known pressman in Seattle, who is known as "Brick," is one of the new proprietors of the Redmond Press, from which he expects to realize a fortune. Will E. Humphrey, representative in congress from the First district, has been assured by President Taft that the customs house will be moved from Pt. Townsend to Seattle within the near future. For years and years such a removal has been threatened, but political pulls saved the day for Pt. Townsend, but pulls no longer cut any ice and the administration looks upon the removal as a matter of public economy. Gwin Hicks, who for years has been more or less prominent in the political circles of the state, is again in the public eye in the shape of being an applicant for the appointment of collector of internal revenue for Washington and Alaska. Prior to 1896 he was a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, but later switched to the Populist party and was elected state printer in 1896, out of which it is variously estimated he cleaned up something like $200,000. He was beaten for a second term, and feeling the defeat so keenly, he moved to California, where he was lost sight of by the Washington politicians. Subsequently he returned to the state and affiliated himself with the Democratic party and now he is seeking position at the hands of the president-elect. Hicks is one of those fellows, who has always been looking for a public office, and it seems as if he will continue to do so for all times to come. "No hurry about offices," says Governor Wilson. But he's not an office-seeker. Boston Transcript. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1912 POLITICS "On to Olympia" is the all-absorbing cry among the politicians just now, and it will not be many days after the New Year has been ushered in before the clans will begin to hunt quarters at the state capitol to play the political game for all there is in it. The legislature convenes January 13th and whatever changes in the various state offices that will be made will take place on that day. There is no doubt now but that Gov. Hay will walk the gang-plank, though there is still remote talk of his friends asking the legislature to order a recount. It, however, is not believed that the thing will ever happen, as Gov. Hay is too game to put the legislature in the hole on heresay evidence. The chief fight before the legislature and especially at its opening, will be the election of a speaker, and the subsequent naming of the various committees. At this writing, Howard D. Taylor has a sufficient number of pledged votes to elect him, and he will be elected, unless those having signed his roll go back on their agreement. If Mr. Taylor follows his course of two years ago, he will give the chairmanships of the best committees to Pierce county, but this, his King county supporters say, he will not do. It has been figured out that the house is most decidedly wet and the senate leans rather to the dry side of the house, which, if true, there will be no "drink" legislation passed at the next session. Mr. Taylor is the choice of the "wets." The speakership having been settled and the chairmanships named, the next big night before the body will be the apportionment of the representatives to the legislature. Under the constitution there can be but two additional members, and if Vashon and Murray become a county, one of the unused members will go to the new county, leaving but one for distribution. Pierce county, in the past, has been fighting to keep King county from getting five additional members of the legislature, which she is entitled to under the constitution, and the bunch-grass counties have taken sides with Pierce because some of them would have to lose some of their representation. As to the outcome of the mix-up, much will depend upon the course pursued by the speaker and the lieutenant governor, the former from King and the latter from Pierce. The re-districting of the state for the purpose of accommodating five members of congress, is going to be another ugly proposition, over which hot words will pass. The three largest cities of the state, each want a member of congress, which proposition will be fought to the last ditch by the smaller counties. There probably will be no opposition to Seattle having a congressman all by her lonely, but when it (Continued on page 6). THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN The Chimes that Curb the Consciences From The Wisconsin State Journal President Kane ordered the presses stopped. Then the students put their letter into a hand-bill and now the whole state of Washington knows how contemptibly and pitiably weak and unfit is President Kane to serve at the head of a college of purposeful students, a University with a future of inestimable usefulness. All honor to the students who fight for the honor of their college, the honor which their president would sell. Thomas F. Kane has proven himself to be wholly unfit for the job of president of the young but vigorous University of Washington at Seattle. Instead of being a real leader of real forces in this commonwealth college, instead of laying the foundations of great ideals of service, President Kane has merely allowed the office to decorate him. He is hopelessly small for the task. This sturdy state college has been dragging him along as a child would drag a doll. To those who see the full but latent power of that strong state college President Kane has been a clear disappointment. But the acid test which has brought out his lack of worth was a set of college chimes. These revealed the fact that the students themselves supplied the conscience and the courage which President Kane lacked. These chimes were given to the University of Washington by Mr. Alden J. Blethen, the editor and owner of the Seattle Daily Times. May the students of every state university in America encourage and cheer the students of the University of Washington in their fight to free their campus from stain. May the students of the University of Wisconsin be the first to give their moral support. Articles of incorporation have been filed with the secretary of state for the avowed purpose of raising the money and paying Alden J. Blethen for his chimes and have the same removed from the grounds, and the twenty-six trustees are: Harry E. Moore, Stuart A. Rice, B. F. Shields, Ellen K. Simison, Geo. E. Bryant, Elizabeth C. Mooers, Annie E. Bloom, Eva M. Watson, C. W. Nichols, D. Thomas Davies, Mary E. Sellin, Nellia M. Moore, F. V. Cook, Tam Deering, Donna E. Snook, Lucia B. Bogardus, Rosetta B. Silbaugh, W. L. Cowen, Martin Korstad, Glenn Edwin Hoover, Chas. McKinley, Adella M. Parker, Maude Lane, H. W. Carr, W. M. Griwitz, Henry M. Clay. The Colonel is not saying much about the chimes just now, because he realizes that silence is golden, but there is hardly any doubt but that before another twelve months will have passed the Blethen chimes will be singing psalms to dead horses. Before going to Seattle, Mr. Blethen was editor and owner of the Minneapolis Tribune. While there it is a matter of record that for a consideration of $160,000 he sold out the services of his newspaper to the editorial advocacy of the traction interests of that town. This sale converted the paper from an organ representing the interests of the people to an organ opposing the interests of the people. The crime lay not so much in the fact that he sold out to the traction company as in the fact that he denied the sale which was later proven, and that in conducting his paper under that denial he buncoed the people, foisting upon them a paper that was an editorial lie and a pure fraud. Since going to Seattle as editor and owner of the Times, Mr. Blethen has been the backer and the friend of the most notorious gamblers, owners of houses of prostitution, and political corruptionists. He has stood with and for the municipal administratons that have been repudiated by the people because they have diantly violated both municipal interests and municipal decency. Clang the Chimes—clang the Chimes Help to glorify The Times; And the fame to which it's heir All the sins that "dailies" dare Swell aloud from college walls; Peal through all the college halls. Slander's pence and scandal's dimes Here transform to silver chimes That shall tell, as they swell, "All is well, all—is—well." It is this man, Alden J. Blethen, whose whole journalistic life has been the betrayal of a public trust, who for the cheap and sordid reward of gold has given his talents to the debauchery of public and private morals, who has had the audacity to devise a cheap purchase of local respectability by bequeathing to the state college a set of chimes. By its willingness to receive these chimes from such a source, by its willingness to let them carol the hymns and songs of good cheer and encouragement as the voice of a panderer of vice, a partner of criminals and an inciter of law-breaking and defiance to the state, the University of Washington stands traitor to its own cause. Rear them high, and let them swing For the Open-city Ring; Let them clang, clang, clang, For the glory of the Gang. Every hour of night and day Let the college echoes say, "Praise to all that get the dollars; "Learning talks, but money 'hollers'; "Hear us tell, every bell, "All is well; all—is—well." What freedom of speech and research may a state college exercise that accepts such a cheap purchase of immunity? The Board of Regents of the University of Washington but a few years ago declared: "Whatever may be the limitations which trammel inquiry elsewhere, we believe that the great state university of Washington should ever encourage that continual and fearless sifting and winnowing by which alone the truth can be found." Could that form of freedom prevail on a campus that rang the chimes that echoed corruption? Champion of the den; and sty! Daily forty-page-long lie! Yet, despite its crimes, Praise The Times; clang its Chimes. Let them charm the ear of Youth; Let them swell its jeers at Truth And in Truth's own court proclaim "Watch The Times go on and sell "All the news that's fit—(for h—). All—is—well, all—is—well." It was bad enough for the regents of the University of Washington to accept such a gift; it was worse for President Kane to countenance it; but when fifty-one students set out to investigate Mr. Blethen's record, when over their own signatures they presented his whole undeniable story to President Kane, they were met with rebuke. And when they undertook to publish that story to the students of the University in the student newspaper, President Kane ordered that that letter be torn from the forms. And when the students refused to tear that letter from the forms FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912. --- "ALL IS WELL." FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1912. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE State of Washington, for King County, Osner & Mehlhorn, Inc., Plaintiff, vs. Pearl M. Coleman, Charles O.
