Main 305 427 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON, . . . Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON, . . . Associate If the circular issued by Rev. Bass denunciatory of Dr. Matthews does not bear all of the earmarks of the Col. Alden J. Times then we fail to recognize the bray. If it be true that Jack Johnson has bought a thirty thousand dollar home for his new wife then he is treating his "white slave" victim with a good deal more consideration than is characteristic of the white slave master. This seems to be another case of, "the world do move." Perhaps the purity squad is a detriment to Seattle's commercial and financial interests, but the Seattle folk will never vote to dissolve the purity squad so long as it is fought by the Seattle Daily Times, and all because they know that the editor of the Times has not trained with the angels since he has lived in Seattle. That story in the evening twinkler to the effect that, the Bull Moose, Democratic and Socialistic members of the legislature, with the aid of a few disgruntled Republicans, had united to defeat Howard D. Taylor and had verily succeeded reminds us of the fellow that loaded his vessel for a foreign port with powder and dynamite and then took a torch in his hands to look over his prospective fortune—the explosion was terrific. Next Wednesday is New Year and we hope will bring good cheer to all, however, the most of us are fearful that, the events of next year will not bring good cheer to any except the hungry office seeker. The entire government will undergo a complete revolution and for the first time in fifty years it will be absolutely in the hands of the party that sought to destroy it, when they were driven from power. Let's hope they have sobered up since that time and their actions will be as patriotic as the party of Lincoln and Grant. Those Southern governors who voted favorably on the resolution denouncing the rash remarks of Governor Blease, did not vote the same way they shoot when they are at home. But yesterday a Negro was lynched in Georgia for forgery and in Florida a day later one was lynched for threatening to shoot his white employer. Please seems to be no worse than all of the others in the South and in some in- Historical Society stances some in the North. The lynching spirit of the United States, to say the least, is an awful blot on our boasted civilization, even though the ones lynched are guilty as charged. Chiffre DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON The noted Tuskegee educator, who is booked to appear in Spokane, Washington, to speak in the month of March next. Educators the world over agree that Dr. Washington is the most notable man the South has produced within the past hundred years. He is even superior to Jefferson Davis, the noted sesessioner that afterwards became president of the Southern Confederacy, for he stood for rule or ruin, while Dr. Washington stands for right, but is willing to take it in piecemeals rather than precipitate fight between father and son. The methods he has put in operation at Tuskegee have been adopted by the civilized world and it is safe to say, he is the father of Industrial Education. "Let me correct you, Mr. Editor, as to the Northern Pacific right of way through the grounds of the University of Washington, that Dr. Kane had nothing to do with, but that he is permitting a hundred and one other things to be most shamefully wasted about the grounds, I fully agree with you. In short, Dr. Kane is not big enough for the job and the sooner the state seeks a twelve thousand dollar man for the presidency of the University of Washington the sooner will the interest of the state be more zealously guarded and the awful waste about the university be checked," came from one who ought and verily does know all about the affairs of the University of Washington. To give is far more gratifying than to receive and especially when those to whom you give are worthy subjects. While the LIBRARY UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 41 giving of Christmas presents to those you love is still indulged in, yet the spirit of giving to the needy is rapidly gaining grounds, and from the amounts given to the poor in Seattle this Christmas it is evident that it's only a matter of a few years more, when the vast sums expended to exchange presents with those you love will be combined and given to the poor and needy. Already the most of the churches have discarded the idea of loading down church Christmas trees with valuable presents for the children and the members given to each other and the members are encouraged to bring substantial gifts for the poor which are distributed by committees. Either Austin E. Griffith is wrong or Mayor Cotterill and the police are wrong as to the Griffith ordinance, curbing the arresting power of the police. Both of these men are men of experience and education and they ought to be sufficiently interested in the community to get together and devise the best thing for the police to do in order to protect the citizenship of the city against thugs and thieves. If men of education and experience can not reason together for the good of those who reared them to power and authority then both or all of them are unworthy of the piwer that has been vested in them. There should not have been any excuse for Griffith's ordinance and there is absolutely no excuse for the referendum vote that is being petitioned for on the ordinance. If the mayor and the chief of the police differ from the city council as to the matter of administration then the whole bunch should put their heads together and decide upon a policy that will protect the community and that too without fussing over it. WHY NOT THE SMALL TOWN? Not all the problems dealing with the social, mental, moral, and physical betterments of the people, particularly the young, are to be encountered in the large cities. Yet it is here that the greatest concentration of reformatory agencie sis to be found. A man who merely signs himself "A Former Resident" makes a plea for the small town—the town or city of from 3,000 to 10,000 people, "where men and women live as neighbors and where the enormous power of great funds for the promotion of these same social, mental, and moral phases is lacking." Something should be done to stir the "community consciousness" of such centers, thinks this writer in The Central Christian Advocate (Kansas City), to a proper sense of civic responsibility. The needs as he sees them are such as any small town, if examined, could typify. Slopping Over.—New Minister—"How did you like my sermon this morning?"

Apparatus to determine the percentage of carbon in steels by burning them in pure oxygen under pressure has been Invented in France, [Name] The show wonders, not only of the Northwest, which is the home of Mr. Considine, and where he first begun to operate, but of the civilized world, as there is no doubt but that the modern show methods adopted by them have spread over all Chrisendom. But it is not the shows of these men that we started out to talk about, but the liberality they show every Christmas in dealing with those, who work in their respective play houses. On Christmas night the attaches of the Orpheum and the Empress are the guests of the Considines (John and Tom) and they are not only treated royally, but are remembered substantially, in the way of donations. These show operators have not exactly taken their employes into partnership with them, nor have they provided a disability pension reserve for them, but at the end of each year they remember their faithful employes so liberally, in the shape of financial rewards, and since none of their faithful employes are ever fired, that it is the next thing to taking said employes into a partnership with them. Seeming at perfect peace with the whole world, John Considine, who is home for the holdidays, whenever seen on the streets, meets his acquaintances with an open heart and hand, the one the same as the other, and his warm grasp of the hand and cheering smile are sufficient to make the most despondent soul take fresh courage and think life is still worth living. Yes, we know that only those with the money seem to be able to smile and feel happy, but more is the pity. However, those with the money do not always do so and certainly the most of those with the money do not seem to have the inclination, and, if they have the inclination, do not seem to have the time to share their smiles with those without the money, and when one does do so, it is so out of the ordinary that a poor devil of a newspaper publisher has to comment upon it. It can be said without fear of successful contradiction that there can not be found a man whose employes are more devoted to him than those of John W. Considine, and they are so SIXTEEN YEARS OF FARM PROGRESS It is true that Iowa has never given us a President, but "she has done better," in the Providence Journal's opinion, in giving us "James Wilson, of Traer, Tama County." Since Secretary Wilson's "sixteen years of Cabinet service breaks all records for time and equals any in public usefulness," he has every right, thinks the Chicago Inter Ocean, to introduce his last annual report with the words: "At the close of a long administration filled with accomplishments, it is fitting that the record of sixteen years should be written." This record, writes the Secretary, "Begins with a yearly farm production worth $4,000,000,000 and ends with $9,532,-000,000. Then the farmers were loaded with debts that were painful burdens; prosperity followed and grew with unexamplied speed. Then the farmer was a joke of the caricaturist; now he is like the stone that was rejected by the builders and has become the headstone of the corner. . . . "During the last sixteen years the farmer has steadily increased his wealth production year by year with the exception of 1911, when the value declined from that of the preceding year. If the wealth produced on farms in 1899 be regarded as 100, the wealth produced sixteen years ago, or in 1897, is represented by 84, and the wealth produced in 1912 by 202.1. During the sixteen years the farmers' wealth production increased 141 per cent. "The array of figures that express the farmers' contribution to national wealth production testiles to the farmers' basic importance on farms, according to the census items, reached the grand total of more than $105,000,000,000. This stream of wealth has poured out of the farmers' horn of plenty and in sixteen years has equaled about three-quarters of the present national wealth." A little farther on in the report the Chicago Inter Ocean finds "good news for the city-dweller, on whom the increased cost of living, which is mainly cost of food, has pressed sorely for some years past." For Secretary Wilson declares that this increase of agricultural wealth has just begun: "The most effective move toward reducing the cost of living is the production of greater crops. Beginnings have been made in a production increasing faster than the natural increase of population." The Secretary calls attention proudly to this year's enormous crops, of which only two, wheat and tobacco, have been exceeded twice in production, and only two, cotton and rice, have been exceeded once in production. "All of the other crops stand at high-water mark—all of the cereals but wheat and rice, the great hay crop, potatoes, flaxseed, and beet sugar." He also recounts the advances made in a Department which has in sixteen years "progressed from the kindergarten through the primary, middle, and upper grades of development until now it has a thousand tongues speaking with authority": (Continued on page 3). SULLIVAN AND CONSIDINE. JOHN W. CONSIDINE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1912. from one end of the year to the other. Each and every one of his employees are visibly pleased when he returns to the city after an extended visit therefrom, and he in turn seeks each of them and not only shakes their hands, but inquires of them as to the business and its needs so far as they have had occasions to observe, thus creating a mutual interest in the success of each other. As to how generous, charitable or benevolent Tim Sullivan, Considine's partner, is the writer has no knowledge, but it is a noteworthy fact that John W. Considine never loses an opportunity to help some one in distress, and unlike most men, who give to the needy, he does not wait to get in the presence of a bunch of newspaper reporters to make his donations, but he does so when he and the needy are all alone and then bads the one assisted to go and forget it. No, dear reader, we are not speaking from experience, but from what has come to our ears through very reliable sources. There are those in this city who knew Mr. Considine when he was not so well healed with the goods of the world as he now is, but even then he was always the friend of the one in need and never turned the needy one from his door, whether he was at his place of business or at his home. Seattle has few, if any men, that do more for her publicity abroad than John W. Considine, and she certainly has none more ready to contribute far more than his share for any other form of publicity that a majority of her citizens interested in such work deem proper to be done. Broad gauged and liberal to a fault it is perfectly natural that he succeed almost miraculously in whatever he undertakes.

Congress has piled duty on duty from year to year. The crops of experts needed in the increasing amount and variety of service has grown greatly. The Department has become a great agricultural university for post-graduate work. Discoveries for the benefit of farm practices and improvements of old ones have been countless. The Department has both promoted and begun a revolution in the arts and sciences of agriculture." As the press dispatches summarize the figures: DON'T ASK FOR BEER Merely say— White and C THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Each and every one of his employes goes to the city after an extended visit of them and not only shakes their business and its needs so far as they is creating a mutual interest in the benevolent Tim Sullivan, Considine's judge, but it is a noteworthy fact that opportunity to help some one in distress, in needy, he does not wait to get in the porters to make his donations, but he is alone and then bads the one assisted taking from experience, but from what reliable sources.

Whereas there are now 52,000 requests every week for Department publications, there were but 500 in 1897, and in this period 225,000,000 copies have been distributed." The press do not withhold the credit due Secretary Wilson for his share in this marvelous advance. Yet the Philadelphia Record does not forget that while Mr. Wilson "has been an indefatigable champion of his agricultural constituents," "there have been public-land scandals in his De- old ALBE # partment, he has been discredited by the fact that he was a party to the conspiracy to get Dr. Wiley out of the public service, and he allowed the pure-food authority to be very much tied up by unsympathetic colleagues." This brief summing up of the public life of James Wilson appears in the New York Evening Post: "He was born in Scotland seventy-seven years ago, but has lived in the United States for sixty years. He served in several of the general assemblies of Iowa, in one of them as speaker; and also as railway commissioners, regent of the State University, director of State agricultural experiment stations, and professor of agriculture in Iowa Agricultural College. He was first elected to Congress in 1872, and served in the Forty-third, Forty-fourth, and Forty-eighth Congresses. It was President McKinley, who, in 1897, made him Secretary of Agriculture, reappointing him in 1901, as Roosevelt did in 1905, and Taft in 1909."—Literary Digest. THE ORPHEUM.

THE SEATTLE REPUB! a ae ae SNS ~ Be A, 2 Mh) Uae aN Rea sid pyr hay Wea A yea arias ‘ef ; yer — REGINALD H. THOMSON Has begun suit against the Times Printing Company and Alden J. Blethen, editor and chief of the Times, for $80,000, and thereby hangs a tale. Once upon a time, when Seattle was not so flush with Adam’s ale as she now is and Thomson was IT on the board of public works of Seattle, any one caught sprinkling lawns out of season was not only subject to having the water supply cut off from his or her residence, but to also pay a heavy penalty. Some of the city sleuths caught Col. Blethen himself in the very act, watering his lawn out of season, and he having been repeatedly warned against doing the self same act, the water was immediately shut off and the colonel notified to appear at the water office and pay a fine. He paid the fine and got the water turned on again, but from that day until this he has been after Thomson’s goat. He has hounded Thomson continu- ously and of such a slanderous nature that patience has ceased to be a virtue, hence the suit for damages. Even when Thomson left the country the Times continued its vile abuse of him. Now Thomson claims that his reputation has been damaged to the extent of $50,000 and his business oppor- tunities to the xetent of $30,000 on account of the Times false accusations. Taking it all in all Thomson is one man in a million or he would have long ago borrowed a sawed off double barrel shot gun and gone after Blethen’s goat. During all the years of abuse on the part of the Times against Thomson this is the first instance that he has ever resented or gave any evidence of having been disturbed one way or the other by what the Times had to say about him. The trial of this case will be watched with a great deal of interest. Even for the Times and the colonel to beat the case, it will cost them quite a few hundred dollars and all for the watering of a lawn out of season. What fools we morals be. Bill Gay: That I had nerve enough to quit the bench and make some money. John F. Murphy: That I was re-elected prosecuting attorney so that I can keep after Peter Miller. James D. Hoge: That I can say no when the hard-ups want to borrow a few bones, and say it, oh so pleasantly, that they are my friends. H. E. Foster: That I have defeated Tay- lor for speaker by having myself elected to the job. What a ‘‘gutes got ich hab.’ Edward Cudihee: That the Republicans were so strong in King County or I would not be sheriff for the next two years. P. F. Purcell: That I have some splen- did ‘‘prospects’’ and the Panama Canal is on the verge of opening, which means mil- lions for me. Col. Blethen: That some kind and con- siderate person or being created the art of blackmail. It certainly comes in handy. Jacob Furth: That years do not impair my usefulness and it is no more trouble to get the money than it was thirty years ago. James E. Chilberg: That everybody idolizes me and I have to keep out of the way in order to not be smothered with honors. Tell me, oh tell me, who is me? Dr. M. A. Matthews: That I am con- sidered by even my enemies as being the most powerful man in the Presbyterian vonnection. I knew I was a pretty ‘‘big man,’’ but Rev. Bass surprises me about myself. Edward Von Tobel: ‘That politics no fonger allures me and that the money just eomes my way without even invitation. John E. Humphries: That some consid- erate person invented the word persistency, for had it not been for persistency I would aot now be Superior court judge-elect. Eugene A. Childe: That the double erossers politically were all starved out and an honest election was held. R. Nordhaff: That the Bon Marche is without a competitor in the Northwest and few even in Chicago. Talk about your Mayor Cotterill: That former Mayor Dilling created a purity squad in Seattle, which I have found very useful in keeping THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN THE DR. MARK A. MATHEWS Who has been recently attacked in a printed circular issued by Rev. W. A. Bass, an unfrocked Presbyterian minister. Whether false or true, we have no ways of finding out, but the circular is so adroitly worded that it will attract the sympathy to the Rev. Mr. Bass of hundreds of persons, who have not the time nor the inclination to look into the whole situation. This new attack, however, of Rev. Bass is the same old attack only given a fresh coat of paint, and the whole retouched with a heavy coat of varnish. Even if it be true as says Mr. Bass, he has been thrown out of the church after thirty years of yoeman service, therefore, he himself further admits that, though he has sought redress from both the church courts as well as the legal courts, he has failed in both, which must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that, whatever Dr. Mathews did in unfrocking him, his actions were approved of by the church as an organization to which both he and Rev. Bass acknowledged allegiance as well as by the courts of justice. Somehow or other we always find ourselves trying to help the under dog in every fight, and especially when the whole bunch is on the one at the bottom, but here is a case where the bunch seems to be wholly in the right and the one at the bottom getting his just deserts, not that we know anything about the case, but because those who have listened to its merits have unanimously decided against Mr. Bass. Using the vulgar vernacular of the streets, if you are going to play the game, you must play it according to Hoyle, and if you get caught renigging, you must abide the rules of the game, even if expulsion is the result. There is no doubt but that Dr. Mathews is very influential in Presbyterian circles, but we do not believe that he is able by the sweep of his magic wand to cast a spell over the entire membership of the Presbytery and cause them to do his bidding and expell an honored member of that body without cause, excuse or justification. The members of the Presbytery are men (in their opinions at least) who are just as wise as Dr. Mark A. Mathews and could not be induced to do a fellow man a wrong even though prevailed upon by a thousand Dr. Mathews all at one and the same time. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 27. 1912. Col. Blethen's many friends out of the city. Spelger & Hurlbut: That Christmas comes but once a year, and lasts but two weeks or we would never get a chance to count our money. Hugh C. Todd: That there was a wide enough breach in the Republican party to give success to a lot of starving Democrats, "me, too," and now we will turn the rascals out. Louis Hemrich: That the thirteenth legislature got wet on election day and will hardly be able to dry out before the body adjourns by constitutional limit. James G. Quilter: That I am doing business again in Seattle, my first love, and have the implicit confidence of those for whom I am working.

The background is a solid black oval frame.]] Has begun suit against the Times Printing Company and Alden J. Blethen, editor and chief of the Times, for $80,000, and thereby hangs a tale. Once upon a time, when Seattle was not so flush with Adam's ale as she now is and Thomson was IT on the board of public works of Seattle, any one caught sprinkling lawns out of season was not only subject to having the water supply cut off from his or her residence, but to also pay a heavy penalty. Some of the city sleuths caught Col. Blethen himself in the very act, watering his lawn out of season, and he having been repeatedly warned against doing the self same act, the water was immediately shut off and the colonel notified to appear at the water office and pay a fine. He paid the fine and got the water turned on again, but from that day until this he has been after Thomson's goat. He has hounded Thomson continuously and of such a slanderous nature that patience has ceased to be a virtue, hence the suit for damages. Even when Thomson left the country the Times continued its vile abuse of him. Now Thomson claims that his reputation has been damaged to the extent of $50,000 and his business opportunities to the xetent of $30,000 on account of the Times false accusations. Taking it all in all Thomson is one man in a million or he would have long ago borrowed a sawed off double barrel shot gun and gone after Blethen's goat. During all the years of abuse on the part of the Times against Thomson this is the first instance that he has ever resented or gave any evidence of having been disturbed one way or the other by what the Times had to say about him. The trial of this case will be watched with a great deal of interest. Even for the Times and the colonel to beat the case, it will cost them quite a few hundred dollars and all for the watering of a lawn out of season. What fools we morals be. REGINALD H. THOMSON THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN FRIDAY. DECEMBER 27. 1912 WHY THEY ARE HAPPY Bill Gay: That I had nerve enough to quit the bench and make some money. John F. Murphy: That I was re-elected prosecuting attorney so that I can keep after Peter Miller. James D. Hoge: That I can say no when the hard-ups want to borrow a few bones, and say it, oh so pleasantly, that they are my friends. H. E. Foster: That I have defeated Taylor for speaker by having myself elected to the job. What a "gutes got ich hab." Edward Cudihee: That the Republicans were so strong in King County or I would not be sheriff for the next two years. P. F. Purcell: That I have some splendid "prospects" and the Panama Canal is on the verge of opening, which means millions for me. Col. Blethen: That some kind and considerate person or being created the art of blackmail. It certainly comes in handy. Jacob Furth: That years do not impair my usefulness and it is no more trouble to get the money than it was thirty years ago. James E. Chilberg: That everybody idolizes me and I have to keep out of the way in order to not be smothered with honors. Tell me, oh tell me, who is me? Dr. M. A. Matthews: That I am considered by even my enemies as being the most powerful man in the Presbyterian connection. I knew I was a pretty "big man," but Rev. Bass surprises me about myself. Edward Von Tobel: That politics no longer allures me and that the money just comes my way without even invitation. John E. Humphries: That some considerate person invented the word persistency, for had it not been for persistency I would not now be Superior court judge-elect. Eugene A. Childe: That the double crossers politically were all starved out and an honest election was held. R. Nordhaff: That the Bon Marche is without a competitor in the Northwest and few even in Chicago. Talk about your merchant princes, but do I not look like a merchant king? Mayor Cotterill: That former Mayor Dilling created a purity squad in Seattle, which I have found very useful in keeping THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN 4 DR. MARK A. MATHEWS Who has been recently attacked in a printed circular issued by Rev. W. A. Bass, an unfrocked Presbyterian minister. Whether false or true, we have no ways of finding out, but the circular is so adroitly worded that it will attract the sympathy to the Rev. Mr. Bass of hundreds of persons, who have not the time nor the inclination to look into the whole situation. This new attack, however, of Rev. Bass is the same old attack only given a fresh coat of paint, and the whole retouched with a heavy coat of varnish. Even if it be true as says Mr. Bass, he has been thrown out of the church after thirty years of yoeman service, therefore, he himself further admits that, though he has sought redress from both the church courts as well as the legal courts, he has failed in both, which must prove beyoud a reasonable doubt that, whatever Dr. Mathews did in unfrocking him, his actions were approved of by the church as an organization to which both he and Rey. Bass acknowledged allegance as well as by the courts of justice. Somehow or other we always find ourselves trying to help the under dog in every fight, and especially when the whole bunch is on the one at the bottom, but here is a case where the bunch seems to be wholly in the right and the one at the bottom getting his just deserts, not that we know anything about the case, but because those who have listened to its merits have unanimously decided against Mr. Bass. Using the vulgar vernacular of the streets, if you are going to play the game, you must play it according to Hoyle, and if you get caught renigging, you must abide the rules of the game, even if expulsion is the result. There is no doubt but that Dr. Mathews is very influential in Presbyterian circles, but we do not be- lieve that he is able by the sweep of his magic wand to cast a spell over the entire membership of the Presbytery and cause them to do his bidding and expell an honored member of that body without cause, excuse or justification. The members of the Presbytery are men (in their opinions at least) who are just as wise as Dr. Mark A. Mathews and could not be induced to do a fellow man a wrong even though prevailed upon by a thousand Dr. Mathews all at one and the same time.’ ‘1 FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1912. Col. Blethen’s many friends out of the city. Spelger & Hurlbut: That Christmas comes but once a year, and lasts but two weeks or we would never get a chance to count our money. Hugh ©. Todd: That there was a wide enough breach in the Republican party to give success to a lot of starving Demo- erats, ‘‘me, too,’’ and now we will turn the rascals out. Louis Hemrich: That the thirteenth leg- islature got wet on election day and will hardly be able to dry out before the body adjourns by constitutional limit. James G. Quilter: That I am doing busi- ness again in Seattle, my first love, and have the implicit confidence of those for whom I am working. THE SPICE OF LIFE.
