Main 305 427 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, . . . Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, . . . Associate IS IT HIGHWAY ROBBERY? Readers of The Seattle Republican will remember an article appearing herein some months ago about the farmer and the city markets and how the farmers preferred to sell what they raised in the local markets for anything that was offered them rather than to ship the same to Seattle, where they would be robbed by the commission men. All said in that article and in a subsequent one written by Allen Weir of Olympia has been substantiated by a series of articles appearing in the daily papers, telling how the farmers were being robbed by he Seattle commission merchants. These men have grown rich, so it is said, by only getting a ten per cent commission on the produce they handle, which is absolutely preposterous. As we said last week, "we might be toying with our liberty to pronounce those commission merchants common thieves," but we do know the farmers have been robbed by some one, and it is perfectly natural to suspect the one who seems to have profited the most by handling his produce. The farmers must sell to the consumers if they hope to earn a living out of the lands they cultivate, and the sooner the farmer and the consumer arrive at a business arrangement the sooner will both of them get their just desserts. A fruit grower sent quite a consignment of apples to Seattle and the commission merchant wrote back the market was flat and the apples would not more than pay the expenses of shipping them. The farmer was not satisfied and so he took a train for Seattle and called at the store of the commission merchant and inquired into the price of apples. He was finally shown his own fruit and a price demanded that simply astounded him. Without further secrecy he disclosed his identity and told the commission merchant if he did not pungle up in a holy minute he would make it interesting for him, and he did it. Is not that highway robbery? EDITORIAL EDICTS. "Turkey trot" is still the war dance in the Balkans, the peace conference to the contrary notwithstanding. "Fools For Fame," says a head line. We are inclined to believe it is so, as the world's most famous persons generally die without fortunes. Possibly William Jennings Bryan will not embarass Woodrow Wilson's administration. but he will come pretty nearly breaking it down with "paramount issues." Dissolve Harriman's railroad merger is easier said than done, as those directing the railroads of this country are stronger by a good deal than even the supreme court. The decline in speculation all over this country is perfectly natural as the men with the money have cornered everything but the air and they have that pretty badly poisoned with their foul breathings. It begins to look as if the crowned heads of Europe are going to have a deuce of a time forcing the bronzed arms of the laboring men to fight each other for the sake of territory grabbing. Australia has wells that are dry during the day, but are full and overflowing during the night. Well, America has a great many men that are dry the most of the day, but full all night. Of course "America with her eyes open is not going to let a panic happen," as recently declared Woodrow Wilson, but the "money bags" will see to it that America's eyes are closed before they start the panic. You are mistaken, "colonel," the good people of Seattle are not boycotting the Times they have just resolved to keep all putrid matter out of their homes, and the Times is one of those putrifications. Was that a hluff or a beg for judicial clemency when Hazel Moore declared she was ready and willing to either marry Ortis Hamilton or live with him as his mistress? She ought to be arrested for making the remark. It is the concensus of opinion of all who read the editorial in The Seattle Republican last Saturday from the Wisconsin State Journal that, it simply raised Kane with the Blethen chimes of the University of Washington. According to an ancient couplet, "Christmas comes but once a year and every fellow should have his share." The share that seems to be our lot this Christmas is so small that we fear we are going to have trouble in finding it. Seattle is almost absolutely certain of having a third evening paper, as those promoting the proposition already boast of a subscription list of 30,000. No wonder Blethen has begun to holler, because he sees they are dead after him. Unless those bandits captured by the police of Kansas City neither has nor can not raise a purse, it looks as though there will be two rewards for the policemen, if the authorities decide to give them a substantial reward UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 publican 1912. VOLUME XIV, NUMBER 40 for capturing a bandit. The police generally get theirs when the arrests are made. Whether Bryan or Debs first begun to run for president has not been determined, but one thing is certain about this persistent running on the part of Bryan and Debs, the latter is still running, while the former, if running at all, it's only in his mind. The Washington legislature will be asked when it convenes to pass a bill which will give the citizens of the state an opportunity to remove the disability on aliens owning land in the state, which measure we suspect is being fathered by a lot of aliens. The average persons in the United States is not surprised at hearing of "royal" jades in England being caught in gambling rooms as the most of us are of the opinion that gambling and other vices are common to the royalty of European countries and the "sawciety" of the United States. We are surprised to learn that the Y. M. C. A. of Portland, Oregon, permits so many Negroes the privilege of the institution. There is hardly any doubt of this as none but Negroes are guilty of such crimes as reported as having been perpetrated in the dormitories of the Y. M. C. A. of Portland. Surely, surely the world do move! It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that the holiday number of the Concrete Enterprise was the most unique publication that has been issued in the Northwest. Editor Jacobson is to be congratulated for his enterprise as well as for his artisticness. "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad," is a maxim as old as the hills, and, if there be any truth in it, the gods will soon have one Alden J. Blethen torn to pieces, as they have succeeded in making him so mad that he, like the tantalized viper, is ready to bite himself. European powers have worked themselves into a state of explosive frenzy over the Monroe doctrine, and the intention of the United States of controlling the Panama canal, her own property, is the cause of the recent outbreak against the famous doctrine. Uncle Sam would do well to briefly cablegraph combined Europe: "Let the heathens rage." Holiday numbers have begun to pour in and from them we are getting a pretty clear idea of the country by and large. These holiday numbers are great educators and the inhabitants of every town, in which one of them is issued, should send them broadcast over the country—that is, if they have any real interest in the town in which they reside. "The Chief reason the Puget Sound countr y is suffering from financial depression is AROUND THE WORLD 2 because too many persons have come to town and left no one to work the farm lands," came from a well-known farmer one day this week, and it seems to us that he came pretty nearly hitting the nail on the head, and yet to get hold of a piece of farm land within twenty miles of Seattle it would almost bankrupt Rockefeller. In the death of Whitelaw Reid, Uncle Sam's minister to the court of St. James, the nation loses a most excellent diplomat, and whose memory will be held in high esteem by men and women yet unborn. Mr. Reid made his early mark in life as a journalist, at which profession he became a past master. The true journalist, who studies to lead as well as please his readers, develops into one of the most useful men the country boasts of, and this can be truthfully said of Whitelaw Reid. Perhaps Dr. Kane of the University of Washington will succeed in subsidizing and muzzling the country press, which he has invited to hold a mid-winted meet on the university grounds after Christmas, which is to serve as a preventive against anti-university legislation, but we doubt it. The affairs of the University of Washington are so badly tangled by the cunning web of professoric politicians that the legislature would do well to have a general cleaning out of the overfed "fessurs." According to reports, President Taft is almost as happy over the defeat of Theodore Roosevelt as he would have been over his success. When last heard from Teddy was equally jubilant over the defeat of Taft, and thus was the Republican party, the party of success, permitted to be torn into shreds by two ambitious politicians, each saying to the other, "If I do not get it you shan't." If the G. O. P. will kill off all such party disrupters it will stand a better chance to live on and on in the future as it has in the past. Hundreds of would-be school teachers of Washington were unable in a recent examination to write the last stanza of "America," one of our national hymns. We suspect that the first stanza would have been as foreign to them as the last, and we further suspect the writer of "America" was a like mystery to them. Just how he or she who is supposed to teach "young America to shoot," can lay the foundation for patriotism and loyalty to the flag, when they are densely ignorant of the country's history, is more than we can explain. Many of those who are sent out as public school teachers ought to be assigned to schools for animals instead of schools for children. The Seattle Republican For Legal Notices Main 305 THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN AROUND It is estimated that it will take more than a million dollars over a billion to run the United States government until June, 1914. Friends of Dr. Booker T. Washington have arranged that $50,000 annually be turned over to him for the purpose of assisting him to push the work at Tuskegee. If the bad egg trust and the bad butter trust are both broken at one and the same time the stench would reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf to the lakes. The United States district attorney has begun suit against the Pacific Coast Company for $100,000 as a result of the criminal case against Bullock and Huston, who were recently convicted. There is no doubt but that Governor Blease of South Carolina has outlawed himself, but is not South Carolina the father and mother of outlawry; and if the sire and dam both trot how can you expect the colt to pace? There may be such a thing as a real estate market in Seattle, but if there is it is confoundedly hard to find, and yet it is said the real estate sharks make a bluff at buying and selling real estate with a view of roping suckers in. Perhaps that young bandit that was killed in California had hoped to run the entire Pacific Coast as his father had run the town of Eugene, Oregon, but he fell by the wayside as so many do in trying to pattern after someone else. Any man who will become so enamored with a strange woman as to leave $810 on her table and go away on other business, deserves to lose every cent. The bestial passions of some men so completely domineer their judgments that they become maniacs as soon as a woman smiles at them. It is said that the parcel post law, which goes into effect throughout the United States January 1st, 1913, will do much toward decreasing the cost of living. If it reduces the cost of living it is learned from an equally reliable source that, it will increase the amount if not the cost of drinking, as a gallon of "booze" can be sent to customers through the mails. A member of the house of representatives of Congress is of the opinion that FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1912. THE WORLD postmasters should be elected instead of being appointed. There is hardly any doubt of it as it would relieve the President of a whole lot of unnecessary worry. That move might go a step further and the President's cabinet likewise elected. The family of the late S. Coolidge Taylor is said to be in dire financial distress in England and friends of the deceased in this country have been appealed to for aid for them. How strange that men with a mind that attracts the civilized world are unable to accumulate a sufficiency while alive to care for their family for a brief time after they are dead. Here is to hoping that Helen Gould will make a man out of Finlay J. Shepard, who she proposes to marry in the very near future. Helen Miller Gould is the angel daughter of her illustrious father, Jay Gould, and she is far more famous than her father. She became famous by saving struggling ones, while her father became famous by strangling struggling ones. On account of the infatuation a young white man had for a young colored girl he was horsewhipped by a number of white men and the young man sent home nude. He and his brothers with other friends returned to the place and a pitched battle followed, which resulted in a half a dozen or more being killed and equally as many more wounded. Strange to say the colored girl was not lynched for having seduced the white man. Things are certainly growing better down in Georgia. In accepting a position as law professor of Yale, William Howard Taft will follow in the wake of Grover Cleveland. Whatever else may be said of President Taft he is certainly an eminent lawyer and had he not applied so much of his legal training to his political life he would have been a more astute politician. Yale, when he is director of her law department, will have one of the ablest legal lights in the whole world connected with the institution. J. B. Foraker, former United States senator from Ohio, who made such a valiant fight against Theodore Roosevelt in the famous Brownsville Negro soldier embroligio, was a witness before the senate committee one day this week and his testimony was read by politicians all over the country with a good deal of interest simply because it came from Foraker and because it incidentally had much to say about Gilchrist Stewart, an eminent Negro of New York, who worked with Senator Foraker in behalf of the colored soldiers. ```markdown ``` GET BING WALKING ANIMALS FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS Novel little animals that appear as if they were walking when pulled along with a string.

Number of Commerce and contact in a business was be just as instrumental but he who does wi As president of the Chamber of Commerce Seattle's commercial, industrial and financial interests have been given most excellent service during his incumbency. He is retiring after having filled the position for four years, during all of which time he was almost continuously absent from his own business, which seriously suffered thereby. He was an untiring worker at the head of the Chamber of Commerce and made a friend of everyone with whom he came in contact in a business way. Of course, others who follow in his wake may be just as instrumental in doing Seattle yoeman service as has Mr. Lowman, but he who does will have to not only hustle, using a Western expression, but likewise keep his think-tank working overtime. The business men of Seattle owe a debt of everlasting gratitude to James D. Lowman for the herculean efforts he put forth during the four years he was president of their Chamber of Commerce in their behalf. Mr. Lowman is a Seattle pioneer and one of her heaviest property holders. Jacob Furth is to have the experience of his long and eventful, as well as useful, life in January next, when he will have to face a jury on a criminal charge. No one, including the prosecuting attorney, who filed the information against him, believes for a minute that Jacob Furth has committed any criminal act. It's probable that he will be the "goat" of the ugly mess, with the hope that some tangible information will be picked up that can be used in the trial of others. Max Wardall. one of Seattle's council- PERSONAL men, wants a restricted district for men instead of for women, as in the past. It certainly would be changing the old order of things to have a bunch of men coralled in rooms and see women by the scores fighting with each other to get to them. Such a condition for either women or men seriously reflects upon our much-boasted civilization. Hugh C. Todd is as busy as a bird dog in Bob White days distributing the Democratic patronage of the state and nation for the state of Washington. Todd for the past few years has given much evidence of developing into a brainy as well as useful citizen, but those prospects are being blast- THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20. 1912 ed by him giving up his legal profession to become a professional politician. The end of the patronage distributor is always in sight. Mark A. Matthews, D. D., LLD., pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Seattle, preached a sermon last Sunday evening from the subject, "A City Without Crooks." Such a city would be an ideal one, but such a city would be hard to find just now. Just suppose Seattle should suddenly lose all of her crooks, grafters and human hyenas, who prey upon their fellow men, what a shrinkage in population she would experience. We suspect that real estate would decrease in value fully sixty per cent below what it now is. Paul Pattison, former prosecuting attorney of Whitman county, is now a state prisoner in the Monroe reformatory. If Paul had have only swore to the complaint for his arrest, prosecuted himself, suggested to the presiding judge the length of his sentence, made out his commitment papers, conveyed himself to the prison as he did and then assigned himself to his duty he would have been the ideal criminal. Paul wifully robbed his clients out of thousands of dollars and made the grandstand play he did in order to reduce his punishment to a minimum and thereby get relieved from further obligation to his clients with as little expense as possible. Old man Pattison had his fun when a boy as well as Paul J. D. Ross, superintendent of the municipal lighting plant, hits back and says the system is a source of revenue to the taxpayers after interest on the investment and all running expenses have been paid and a sinking fund set apart. Either Ross is being lied about or he is so juggling the figures bearing on the success of the municipal lighting plant that he actually is making the figures lie. The plant seems to spell success both directly and indirectly, but the public ought to know the real truth about the earnings and the expenses of the plant. A. L. Valentine, in asking for more home rule for Seattle, must have discovered some new vantage ground that the corporate interest could advantageously use to filch the taxpayers, and it grieves him to think that his corporate masters have not every opportunity sewed up in their dragnet. Edward C. Cheasty celebrated his twenty-fourth business anniversary last Saturday and throughout the day his face was wreathed in a garland of smiles. He is a splendid business man and it is the consensus of opinion that he has made a fortune out of his business. He is a Seattle pioneer and stands very high in the community. Ortis Hamilton, the brilliant young military officer, that embezzled from the state, is now out on parole and by this time per- M. W. H. JAMES E. CHILBERG. Mr. Lowman as president Seattle's most optimistic builful. His most notable and producing of the Al not only a financial succesertising Seattle. No man and the entire community numerous business investmen Who is to succeed Mr. Lowman as president of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, is one of Seattle's most optimistic business men and apparently one of her most successful. His most notable achievement in a business way was his promoting and producing of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition in 1908, which was not only a financial success per se, but was a huge success in the way of advertising Seattle. No man in Seattle and the entire Northwest has the city and the entire community more at heart than J. E. Chilberg, owing to his numerous business investments in Seattle, the Northwest and Alaska. Seattle's commercial, industrial and financial interests will not greatly suffer in the change from J. D. Lowman to J. E. Chilberg as president of the Chamber of Commerce. Already there is talk of backing Mr. Chilberg for mayor next year. With him as president of the Chamber of Commerce and mayor of Seattle during the lifetime of the Panama exposition at San Francisco this city would be ably and successfully represented. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1912 haps has met his former affinity and the pair have decided what their future course toward each other will be. If Hamilton is foolish enough to again become a victim to Hazel Moore we predict that it will only be a few months before he will return to prison to finish his ten year sentence. Charles Wappenstein, it is here predicted, will be pardoned before Governor Hay retires from office, not in our opinion that Hay ever promised any newspaper that he would do so for its support, but because his petition is being liberally signed by the strong men of Seattle. There is hardly a person in Seattle but that believes Wappenstein is guilty, but on the other hand, all believe that there are others equally guilty, who escaped punishment on account of the pull they had and they see no reason why Wappenstein should be made the "goat" of the bunch. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Unless we mistake the sounds of the chimes, the University of Washington is on the verge of a scandal that will seriously cripple its usefulness for years to come. In the past Dr. Kane and his political associates have successfully prevailed on the legislature to appropriate millions of dollars for the institution, the expenditure of which is now being seriously questioned and, if there is anything in the ugly rumors that are being bruted about the streets, a legislative investigation would disclose a most wilful waste of the state's money, and such an investigation, it is said, would further disclose a collusion between certain members of the faculty and the board of regents, whereby corporations and individuals with pulls, have succeeded in relieving the institution of some of its most valuable assets. Whether or not there be anything in the above rumors, there is no doubt but that the members of the legislature will severely rebuke Dr. Kane's administration for accepting the Blethen chimes, which almost caused a rebellion among the students. So far as the management and the directorship of the University of Washington are concerned there is "something rotten in Denmark" and everybody sees it. CHRISTMAS Northern folk have always shown a more or less fascination for the South and its inhabitants, which the Southern folk themselves are unable to explain. The lady with a soft Southern lingo at once becomes the center of attraction in the North, East or West, and that, too, despite the fact her language is ungrammatical and of a sing-song nature. Nothing, however, is more pleasing to the Northern folk than the old-fashioned Christmas in the South. Fourth of July, Decoration Day and Thanksgiving day may all be memorable occasions throughout the North, which means East and West to the Southern folk, but the only day that brings gladness to the heart of the true Southerner is Christmas. With THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the children of the South, Christmas week is no sooner over than they begin at once to make plans for the next Christmas, and as the year grows older the anticipation of Christmas with its happiness grows keener and it continues until within a few weeks of the happy event, when the eyes of the young and old fairly dance in their heads and their hearts leap for joy at the mention of "Christmas is mos' here." Northern folk do not seem less enthusiastic over the approaching Christmas and in their way they evidently get as much out of it as the Southerner, only they are not nearly 451 so noisy about it. In the North, millions of dollars are spent out of the ordinary channels for the sake of Christmas and the celebrations for the occasion are based on the Christian teachings. Even the Southern folk after they have become acquainted with the way the Northern folk celebrate Christmas, like it better than the Christmas celebration they had been accustomed to, but while you are getting accustomed to it you are inclined to think as did the little colored boy that spent a Christmas in the North and returned to his home in the South later, and when asked what kind of Christmas he had, re- DON'T ASK FOR BEER Merely say— White and Gold and you will not only get what you want, but the very thing you need.

Christmas in the South is the next thing to the biblical year of Jubilee, and we fancy that those who instituted its customs must have been trying to fashion it after that religious rite. Christmas in the South is the end and the beginning of all business transactions. The farmer hopes to get all of his cotton picked, jinned and sold before Christmas, and whatever debts he may have contracted during the year, for be it remembered that the credit system is the chief way of doing business in the South and there is but one settlement a year, settled up and learn, "how I stan'," meaning financially, "fo' Crismas." If in his settlement he comes out at the "little end of the horn" he has a dry, and to an extent, noiseless Christmas, though it is a hard-hearted merchant that will refuse one of his customers a gallon of "wet" for Christmas, even though he did come out at the "little end of the horn." If, on the other hand, the farmer comes out ahead, he takes the whole family to town, even to gradma, and the wagon goes home more heavily loaded than it went to town, though it may have carried from three to four bales of cotton. This going to town "jes' fo' Crismas" is another custom of the Southern folk that they highly appreciate because on such occasions they often met friends and relatives from other sections of the county that they had not seen since "Crismas fo' las,'" and it would do your heart good to see them meet and make much over each other. The town for a week before Christmas day is jammed full from morn till late at night and the public highways are lined with wagon loads of cotton going to town and wagon loads of farmers and goods returning from town for fully twenty miles from the town (county seat.) It may be midnight Christmas Eve before THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN the last wagon rolls in from town, but it is in plenty of time, as there is nothing doing until Christmas morning, when bedlam seems to break loose. Should, however, something happen to the wagon and it did not get home in time for the beginning of the joyous event, it will get there early in the day, and while the day will be partially enjoyed, it will not be half so good as if "de wagin had com' las' nite." Soon after first dark the children begin to hunt their holes for the night, after they have all hung their stockings up where Santa Claus can find it, when "he comes down de chimny." In spite of the fact they are expecting much from Santa Claus they go to sleep and make no effort to see him come, as they have been taught he would leave them nothing if he caught them watching. Long before the break of day the children begin to stir, and the old folk keep still, but the bed soon becomes too much a prison and some one of the number is up like a flash and pitch pine is heaved on the smouldering embers and almost instantly a bright red light is flaming in the fire place and the fun does begin. Santa Claus has distributed in their stockings a red apple, an orange, lots of nuts and candy and best of all plenty of fire works. The older ones take down their shot guns and after putting in a heavy charge of powder and raming paper over it, goes to the door and fires his Christmas salue, this is echoed by neighbors and it is only a few minutes, when the country for miles around is likened unto the battle of Vicksburg. The little ones are shooting their fire crackers and the young men are occasionally sending up a sky rocket. Day finally dawns and the men, with the guns, go from house to house firing Christmas salutes and demanding Christmas gifts, which they get in the shape of eggnog and other edibles prepared for the FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1912 occasion. All of the men and boys, however, do not have guns and powder to burn and firecrackers, but they do not let little things like that dampen their ardor, and so they get large charcoals and take them to a log and after cutting a notch in it lay the coal in the hole and take the eye of the axe and hit it a sharp blow and they get a report almost as loud as the gun loaded with paper and powder. Southern merchants, like Northern merchants, lay in large stocks of goods for Christmas, for they know, whether times are good or bad, they are going to have a big trade, but they lay in an entirely different line of goods than do the Northern merchants. The line of Christmas stock laid in by the Southern merchants are barrels of the finest red apples that can be had from the North, barrels of the finest oranges grown in Florida, nuts and raisins, tons of stick candy, thousands of dollars worth of fireworks, and of course an extra amount of cheap whiskey. The things enumerated are the Christmas luxuries, but this being general reckoning time with the farmers, those of them that come out ahead buy winter clothes for the family, which also takes the place of the expensive presents that is common to the Northern folk. The man or woman, boy or girl, that can strut out in a brand-new suit of clothes on Christmas day is looked upon as having come out ahead at the end of the year, and is considered very industrious as well as successful. It being looked upon as both a sin and a disgrace to work on Christmas day, so far as the country folk are concerned, and this narrative is confined almost wholly to the country folk, so the young and the old go from home to home and at each one they are warmly welcomed and the goods the gods provided are set before them.
