Main 305 422 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - Associate FAKE NEWSPAPER INSTITUTE An alleged Newspaper Institute is to be held on the campus of the University of Washington next week, the program for which has been sent out. Now this institute is supposed to be a creature of the Washington Editorial Association and gotten up for the benefit of the Country Press and yet the speakers as advertised are all men from the big daily papers, who fight the country press from start to finish. One of the speakers of this institute was heard to remark some months ago, "I look upon the weekly papers as natural enemies of the daily papers and I always encouraged the merchants to withhold advertising from the weekly papers as the same amount of money would do ten fold more good in the daily papers." Those connected with the journalistic department of the University of Washington seek to make of those, who take courses therein, daily newspaper men, and no instruction whatever is given to the students as to how to conduct live country weeklies. There is more demand for strong weekly papers throughout the rural districts of the state than dailies and men and women in the University should be taught how to run strong weeklies. If they prove successes on weeklies they will sooner or later drift into larger fields. The fact of the whole matter is, this seems to have been a shrewd move on the part of Dr. Kane and his political "fessus," to get a number of the weekly publishers of the state at this University meet for the express purpose of feeding the press gang a lot of taffy for the purpose of keeping the editors of the state from criticising or opposing the bill, which he and his followers will ask the legislature to pass, appropriating a million and a half dollars for the University of Washington, when less than half that amount would be more than ample to meet the just needs of the school. Among the listed speakers there is not a single one in sympathy with the weekly press of the state, with the exception of A. A. Smith, of the Tribune-Times, of Pt. Angeles, and it is currently reported that he contemplates in the very near future leaving the weekly field and make a morning daily of his paper. It is safe to predict not to exceed a baker's dozen of the publishers of the state will be present, and all because they see through the scheme. When it comes to laying plans for getting the money, Dr. Kane and his political "fessus" are past masters. "The snow, the beautiful snow" calls for coal the costly coal and that too when there is nothing to buy it with. There is not a destitute person in Colfax, declares the Gazette. That speaks well for the back to the soil movement. Fake sales may not be just the thing, but merchants have to do something to make both ends meet or this would be a deserted city. The taxing of dogs may be instrumental in lessening the howl of dogs. Few dogs in the state are worth paying a state and city tax for. Organized, labor leaders and their advisers are kept so busy defending their acts in court that they do not have time to agitate more strikes. Suppose a Catholic priest does open the sessions of a legislature, will that make the actions of the body any better or worse? Less bickering as to the brand of Christianity that is administered to suffering humanity should be indulged in. If Christianity is anything at all it is as good under one label as another. SEATTLE, WASH., FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1913 If Camas is wsie she will steer clear of the boom that her paper reports is about to befall her. A growth slow and steady, is the kind that counts. An exchange asks, "Have you flalen off the water wagon?" No, but I fell in the water wagon and got so cold that restoratives had to be administered. If the "Sun" shines in February in Seattle, it will be out of the ordinary and it will mean hard Times for even the Star actor of the journalistic concert. Eastern Washington's "ice crop" may be one of her many very lucrative crops, but to the average person in Western Washington its too cold for comfort. Perhaps the thirty-eight labor leaders convicted of dynamiting are traitors to organized labor, but they are traitors not for their crimes, but for getting caught. Its alright to patrnoize "home sweet home" in a commercial way, but if all towns practiced it each community would simply build a Chinese wall around itself. Man at fifty is as much a man as he was at thirty, providing he acted a man in the interim between thirty and fifty, but he who did not is simply a makeshift for a man. It seems like a wilful waste of legislative time for the legislature to abolish capital punishment as the lawyers have done that without the consent of the legislature. It's a rather sad commentary on the Christian civilization for the government to have to pay a $25 premium each to mothers to bear children, lest race suicide overtake us. Owing to the political position of the former Republican organ of Seattle, it begins to look as if the P.-I. is to be the Bone of Contention in the political arena of the State of Washington. If the coming legislative session has any hopes of being the most popular in the history of the state, it will kill many of the damphool laws now in operation and then adjourn. Instead of raising so much "hell" as Jack Johnson has been doing he has decided to buy a farm and raise hogs and hominy. This seems to be the most sensible thing Jack has proposed doing. January thirteenth, 1913 will be the worst hoodo day the Republicans of the State of Washington have experienced since 1897, when the political three ringed circus played in the State. There is more horse sense in spending $500,000 at the Panama Exposition, providing it is judiciously expended for advertising the state, than there is in voting the University of Washington $1,500,000. W. W. Black, judge of the Superior Court of Snohomish county, vents his spleen against Governor-elect Lister by hoping Governor Hay will contest his election and skin him out on a legal technicality, if by no other means. Judge Black is an old sore head and on the state ticket he would have been a millstone about the party's neck. In hoping Lister misfortune his true self creeps out, "If I can not get it nobody else shall if I can prevent it. See me." Mayor Cotterill's salary is $7,500 annually with necessary perquisites and yet he complains he is not furnished an automobile in which to do social stunts about the city. On what does Great Caesar feed that he is to be so honored as well as pampered? Rev. W. D. Carter was responsible for a splendid emancipation proclamation program, the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro of this country. He is pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church and gives evidence of being awake to his work. ```markdown ``` VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 43 A COLLEGE WITH A CONSCIENCE (Wisconsin State Journal) Some weeks ago we reported in the news columns of this paper a story which is now agitating the whole state of Washington. Alden J. Blethen, the editor and proprietor of the Seattle Times, gave to the state university of that fast growing commonwealth a set of chimes. As former editor and proprietor of a paper in the city of Minneapolis, Blethen has a record of selling for cash to a street railway concern the editorial policy and power of his paper. Since going to Seattle he has worked with and for the most corrupting influences in his city and his state. Like many other Americans of his kind he has assumed that he could play this double game of professing virtue and working with corruption, by so distributing his contributions to philanthropy that a heedless public, while praising the one course, would forget the other. Plutocrats who have made their gain through practices that would not bear the light of day, have too long assumed that they could whitewash their sordid characters by casting before the people a few charitable institutions or benevolent tokens. But the people are having their eyes opened and the young people of the University of Washington are wide awake. They have resolved that these chimes shall not be permitted to carol the praise of such a man as Blethen; they have placed their demands before the president of their university. But President Kane is a man who is to be pitied rather than condemned; he means well but he has a back bone that is about as strong as a wet sponge. So the boys of the University of Washington have taken their righteous indignation to the governor and to the legislature of the state, asking for an appropriation of $12,000, the cost of the chimes, that this money may be paid back to Mr. Blethen that the chimes need no longer bear his name, and that they may ring out the spirit of democracy rather than peel forth their daily reminder of him who is and has been a vicious enemy of democracy. To the support of these students the citizens of the state have come, and they are now circulating for signatures "a petition to remove the Blethen chimes." Each petition slip admits of two dozen signatures, and each being numbered, are being systematically distributed through every precinct of every city and through every township in every county. This petition reads: We, the undersigned citizens of the state of Washington, believe that the University of Washington should strive to inspire and maintain the highest standard of life, character, and citizenship in our state, and to this end must be guarded from the intrusion of all sinister or undemocratic influences. It is our conviction that the acceptance from Alden J. Blethen of the gift of chimes to the university is a dangerous precedent. We believe that Alden J. Blethen is one of the most malign influences in the state of Washington, and that his record and influence through his conduct of the Seattle Times, with its persistent and shameless ridicule of morality and civic virtue, and its support and encouragement of persons and policies that tend to debase and deprave our public life, are such as to make any association of his name with the university an affront to the people of the state. Furthermore, we believe that the "Blethen Chimes," as inscribed, do not comply with the terms of the original offer that was accepted by the Board of Regents. We heartily endorse and commend the action of those university students who protested against the acceptance of the chimes and believe that they have set a fine example of courageous citizenship. THEREFORE, we hereby petition the Board of Regents of the University of Washington, the Hon. Ernest Lister, Governor-elect of the state, and the members-elect of the legislature, in the order named, as they have or may acquire power to act, to take such steps as will result in either removing from the university campus the chimes in question, or forever disassociating the name of Alden J. Blethen therefrom. Respectfully submitted, Great is the state that is so wide awake. Great is the college that so promptly rubs off any tarnish from its campus. Greetings and good will to the boys of the University of Washington. PERSONS IN THE PUBLIC EYE 2 Chief Bannick has instructed the policemen of the force that they must cease trying to be prosecuting attorney and simply be policemen. The policemen become abusive to the prosecuting attorney's office when warrants are not issued for the arrest of such of their victims, who do not come through. The idea of policemen, the most of whom cannot write correctly one sentence in English, contending with the prosecutor or his deputies who refuse them a warrant is both nauseating and disgusting. Editor and Mrs. Dean, of the White River Journal and the Ranch are enjoying a month's vacation in Seattle and incidentally doing jury duty. The month's work means something like 200 bones to the Dean family and yet the business on the paper goes marching on just the same. Being born rich is not in it with those born lucky. Williams Jubilee Singers entertained the Y. M. C. A. members of Seattle last Monday evening and standing room was sold. This is a splendid aggregations of melody musicians, who confine their work to churches and semi-religious organizations. The personnel of the company has not changed for ten years and the members have accumulated valuable realty holdings in various parts of this country as well as in Canada. Dr. Kane and his bunch of political "fessus" are laying plans to lobby a million and a half dollars appropriation bill through the legislature for the University of Washington that those having control may have a good time at the taxpayers' expense. Of course Col. Alden J. Times will have a finger in the pie for his chimes' gift to the distinguished doctor of get-themoney fame. POLITICAL Next Monday, January 13th, 1913, the Washington legislature will begin its thirteenth biennial session and some of the papers of the state express the opinion that, "it will be the most important legislature that has ever convened in the state house," but some of the papers have said the same about every legislature that has assembled since territory and statehood. All sessions of the legislature are more or less important because you can not tell what a legislature, once in session, will not do. *** One of the most important measures that will come before the next legislature will be the "good roads" bill. There are two minor features about this bill that will be just as important as the chief bill—the location of the trunk lines and the amount of money appropriated for the building of a good roads system, and finally, whether the requisite amount be raised by direct taxation or be taken from the general funds of the state. No piece of proposed legislation is of as much importance to everybody in the state as that of good roads and in framing the measure selfish interests should be completely eliminated and the same be so framed and adjudicated that, it will prove as beneficial to the farmer as to the financier, as beneficial to the tramp as to the chauffeur, and as beneficial to the cultivator as to the consumer. In other words, the members of the legislature should remember they are building for the future, and if well, their memory will be everlastingly blest, but if selfishly their actions will forever be censured if not actually cursed. *** The next measure of more or less state importance, from a political view point is the re-apportionment of the legislative districts. Considerable hulabaloo is being made over this matter, not so much on account of its general importance as on account of the political advantage it will give one county over another. It will be next to impossible to pass any bill that will deny any county at least one representative and it will be almost as much an uphill business to take from any county any part of the representation it now has. The number of representatives provided by the constitution of the state is within two of its full limit and in all probability a new county will be organized, which will leave but one to be distributed, if all the counties are successful in keeping what they now have, and in all probability they will be. Unless the members overlook county lines and re-district the state as the population is found there is no use wasting time on this re-apportionment bill so far as the legislature is concerned. One thing is certain even now, King county will not get any additional representation. *** The matter of re-idstricting the state for Congressional purposes should be settled and there should not be any great amount of argument over it. It's a THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN S IN THE PUB [Name] HOWARD D. TAYLOR Like Senator Allen, hails from King county, and he will be unanimously elected speaker of the house of representatives. Unlike Mr. Allen, Mr. Taylor deals with the timber instead of the type lice. He is no less shrewd in business than Allen, and he has in his own name just as much, if not more, of the wealth of the world, as Allen. He will be elected speaker without and strings on him, and he is opposing no measures that are being advocated by the various members. foregone conclusion that King county should be in a district all to itself; the northwest including Mason nad Kitsap counties should comprise another district; the southwest including Pierce should comprise another district, and eastern Washington should comprise two districts divided as those living in the bunch grass section see fit. *** The most of the other thousand and one bills that will be introduced by the members will either be for selfish purposes or of a local nature, which should be readily disposed of. For an example, Dr. Kane and his coterie of hangers-on are going to try to lobby an appropriation bill of $1,500,000 through the legislature to be expended on the University of Washington. Any one with ordinary sense knows there is no excuse for such an appropriation for this university at this time. Millions of dollars have been appropriated for the University of Washington since statehood, which have been very questionably expended. In plain figures the state of Washington could have sent every student that has graduated at the state university to Yale or Dartmount and paid all of their expenses and saved millions of dollars thereby. It is argued that a great institution is being erected, but this Dr. Kane denies, for he says the buildings, five and ten years old, have become worthless for college purposes. The legislature should not appropriate one half what Dr. Kane and his political "fessus" are asking for. As in this so in a hundred and one other local matters that will come before the legislature and the body should squelch them in short order. If the coming legislature would make a record sitting it would endear itself to the people, and the record sitting should only be a thirty day session. THE ORPHEUM.

ALLEN [Name] Who not only seeks the presidency of the senate, but who will be elected, unless the wires get crossed before next Monday, is a pretty smooth politician and has succeeded in working himself up to a rather enviable position in the political world of the State of Washington. Professionally speaking, Pliny is only a printer, but he has a good deal more in his head than type lice. In perfecting himself in the printing business he also perfected himself in turning tricks his way, and he is now worth a handsome fortune by being able to put things together and make one hand wash the other. There may be other printers just as efficient as Pliny and even more so, but he gets the bulk of the county printing, and always gets about as much of the state printing as does the state printer. Had not the fellows put one over on Pliny that he had not figured on he would now be Governor Hay's chief patronage dispenser and so completely controlled the state printing office as to get the $100,000 that Boardman has gotten the four years he has been state printer.

HE WAS SATISFIED The Rev. John W. Cavanaugh, president of Notre Dame college, tells of a priest who was giving a lecture on the evils of great wealth. In the audience was a man the priest knew. The man was the father of seven girls and the lecturer pointed to this man as an example. "Think," said the priest, "of being the proud father of seven daughters. Think who is happier—the man with the million dollars or the man who is the father of seven daughters? "I will ask you, Mr. Sheldon, who do you think is the happier? said the priest, pointing to the subject of his argument. The man arose and said. Father, I think that a man with seven daughters is the happier. A man with a million dollars worries for more. A man with seven daughters never does." —Kansas City Star.

HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON SUSIE REVELS CAYTON 4 In the United States the Negro population numbers about one in twelve and in wealth the proportion is perhaps about $1 in $1,000 in favor of the whites. If the whites should be arrayed against the blacks either in numbers or in wealth the latter would be so completely outnumbered as well as overshadowed that, they would be everlastingly lost in the shuffle. Just now throughout the United States much is being said as to the advisability of the Negro being continued in the government service as United States soldiers, and public opinion, which to an extent, is divided on the subject, seems to lean to the retiring of the blacks from the army, and this sentiment does not seem to be based upon the record the Negro soldiers have made in the various wars, in which they have taken active parts since the Revolutionary war, when the blood of Crispus Attucks, who lead the raid against the British soldiers, while marching through the streets of Boston, with the view of intimidating the colonists, was the first to be spilled in the interest of the freedom of the colonists from the tyranny of England, because that record has been most excellent and a record that the soldiers of any country could and should feel justly proud of. Within the past decade there has been much talk indulged in by white persons to the effect that, "this is a white man's country and no alien people, and especially of the darker races, should be permitted to become essential elements to its growth and development." In other words, the white men of the country feel quite capable of assuming all of her responsibilities without calling on the aid of any "inferior" people for protection. It is not right, they further argue, to call upon the black man to fight for the preservation of the country and then deny him the emoluments arising from the fruits of war, hence he should not be in the army. In times of peace the army is more of an ornament than a necessity and "sawciety" in the cities near the posts, where the companies are stationed, make much of their presence and vie with each other in the entertainment of the officers and the men, and this accounts for a great deal of the opposition to the Negro soldiers as there is always a vacuum in "sawciety" while they hold the fort. Speaking about the record of the Negro soldiers, foreign countries, and especially European, declare the record the Negro soldiers have made in war in the United States is unequalled by that of any soldiers of any other country, and so favorable an impression did the record of the colored soldiers make while on the battlefield for the United States, on the French government that, the authorities of that government made an effort to recruit a number of companies of Negroes from the United Staes for service in he French army, to which the United States authorities most vigorously protested, and in deference to the United States' protest the French authorities abandoned the proposition, but did recruit a number of Negro soldiers from her African colonies, and of whom they are very proud. Some years ago Uncle Sam had an occasion to dismiss a colored captain from the army, and so brilliant was he in military affairs that he went to Mexico, and after a few months in the service of that country, was offered a high command in the Mexican army, but to such promotion Uncle Sam protested, and Mexico had to recede, though he is still connected with the Mexican government as a military advisor. What the Negro soldiers of the United States have accomplished in war and peace is so various, as well as varied and likewise so well known to every one, that it is a waste of time and space to recount it in this brief article on the Negro soldiers. He spilt the first blood in the revolutionary war, took an active part in the war of 1812, when Jackson drove the British out of New Orleans, covered himself with all kinds of glory in the great Civil war, was as brave an Indian fighter as ever galloped over the plains, and in the Spanish-American war proved himself a hero in every engagement, and doubly so in the hospitals after the cruel war had ended, in nursing the white soldiers, who were either wounded in battle or had contracted the yellow fever scourge of which the whole country was infested. Many a Southern white mother there were that forgot her racial prejudices and hugged and kissed the black soldier, who waited upon her son while sick in some hospital, who died and sent a message home by the nurse. But what of record when it comes to feelings in after years? Just what to do, if anything at all, is the all-absorbing question of the black folk of this country in this trying ordeal. They know, if denied the right to protect the country in which they live and claim home from right of birth and long continued service, it's only THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN a step toward being denied the right to participate in the affairs of the government, and that is a long step in the direction of serfdom, against which both they and their white friends have so stubbornly fought. If they are denied the right to fight for the country they claim their home, it means a loss of patriotism and a loss of having something to live for beyond that of selfish gains. They loathe to be placed in the position of the lines of Walter Scott, the noted English writer: "Breathes there a man with soul so dead, who to himself hath never said, this is my own my native land," and yet come it must, if this constant agitation against the Negro being enlisted in the army is kept up. Looknig at the ugly situation as we see it, there is nothing for the Negro of the United States to do but to prepare himself to abide by the will of the majority of the white citizens, not only on this question, but all others, providing the issue is drawn strictly on racial questions between the blacks and the whites. If a majority of the white folk of this country have come to the conclusion that the Negro soldier must go, then there is nothing else for him to do but go. If a majority of the white citizens of this country have made up their minds that they do not want the Negro to help them protect this country from either a foreign or a domestic foe, there is nothing left for him to do, but to fold his arms and watch the fight go on. So far as the black man is concerned, it is impossible for him to kick against the pricks and whatever is, is. However unpleasant the situation may appear, yet it may bring about better things for the Negro. In permitting "colored regiments" being organized for the army, Uncle Sam has himself set the pace for the drawing of the color line in this country. It is utterly impossible to try to build up a black civilization in a white man's country, and the organizing of colored regiments in the army, but lays the foundation for greater separation of the whites and blacks and soon a move will be made to organize a Negro state, and then the real trouble will begin. In our opinion there should be no Negro regiments in the United States army, but the Negro should be permitted to join the regiments the same as white men. The black and white folk live together in the city and country, and often do similar work, and in a great many instances work together, and yet they are as far apart socially as the East is from the West, and the same could go on in army life. The dismissing of all Negroes from the army is taking the race question to the provoking stage, and in the opinion of the writer, the country will seriously regret it if trouble between the United States and a foreign country ever happens. Make it impossible for the black man to fight for his country and God only knows what he would do in case Japan and Mexico should ever decide to make war on this government. Let him love Old Glory as does the white man and a more patriotic soul will never have rallied around its banner. FRIDAY. JANUARY 10, 1912. : SOLDIERS IN SPOKANE. (From Portland Advocate.) The famous 25th infantry, colored, previous to their quitting Fort George Wright, at Spokane, where they have been stationed for the past two years, left last Tuesday for the Hawaiian Islands. They were tendered a public reception which took the form of a testimonial, on Sunday evening last, in the Bethel A. M. E. church, which was packed with admiring friends, both white and colored. In his address, Mayor Hindley declared that the battalion will leave Spokane "with the unanimous regret of the citizens," and he pointed out to the colored soldiers of his audience that their conduct in future will have a strong bearing upon the question now being discussed n official circles of disbanding the Negro regiments of the army. "You have set a high ideal," said the mayor, "for the regiment that succeeds you, no matter whether it be white or black. Some of your men have fallen by the wayside, but where is there a group of 500 to 700 men, some of whom will not fall? Several members of the bar of Spokane and several members of the medical fraternity of Spokane have been sent to the penitentiary since Negro soldiers came here three years ago. Their record compares favorably with that of the best educated and most cultured men who are engaged in any profession." Justice Stoker declared the Negroes who had come before him as a judge were few and their crimes had been minor ones, and he praised them as having been less trouble to the city than soldiers of white regiments who had been here before. Chaplain Oscar J. W. Scott brought the thanks of the commanding officer at Fort Wright for the pleasant time the officers and men had spent in this community and he delivered an eloquent address, in which he recited the needs of Negro soldiers, who, he said, had been conspicuous for loyalty and valor in every war since independence was declared. "And yet it is often said, when the question of the Negro is mentioned," said the chaplain, "that the Negro is now 'on trial' and must stand this or that test. I'd like to know what more is necessary to pass these tests, and I am here to say that I belong to a bunch of men who can and will pass every test." In referring to the possibility of disbanding the Negro regiments he said: "We know that when you take from us the right to bear arms for our country it will not be far from taking from us all the other rights of citizens and making us slaves again, for it is the highest right of the citizen to bear arms."
