Main 305 422 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - Associate "Home Rule" in Ireland may result in home ruin in Ireland. Irishmen are not noted for peace at home. One term of six years for governors of states would be a most decided improvement over four years trying to get another four years. Perhaps Woodrow won't stand for "fuss," but he is almost sure of standing for a political muss as soon as he goes into office. What man can give a reason for selling liquor? asks the American Issue. Why that man that has amassed a fortune by so doing. Now that the junketing trip has been killed, the legislators will have hard work killing two months in Olympia. Having had such singular success at running saloons and especially Saturday evenings, Seattle printers are now preparing to run a restaurant. "Eggs weak and butter strong," is about the true condition of the egg and butter market wherever you go. Of course, the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson will be simple and all because Democrats are not capable of doing otherwise. There is no doubt but that mothers should be pensioned, but it should be the husbands of the mothers that pension then. Chicago's police force are reported "rounding up the rascals." The editor of the Daily Times must feel awfully relieved that he is not in Chicago just now. If a waiter permitted a guest to knock him down and otherwise abuse him and showed no fight less he lose his job, then he got his just deserts. He is no man who does not defend himself at any cost. We have no sympathy for the Bullmooser, but Republicans should hesitate before taking Democrats into their confidence in preference to Bullmoosers, who are Republicans only in bad humor. Five publishers of weeklies were present at the journalistic institute held at the University of Washington for the benefit of the 400 weekly publishers of the state. Dr. Kane is to be congratulated. We wonder if the multiplied thousands of Americans, who have gone to Canada, are in anyway responsible for the desire of Canada to throw off the British yoke. The proverbial "nigger in the wood pile" has for centuries been prominent in the business and political affairs of this country, but the Negro in the Standard Oil investigation has him badly bested. Despite the fact that J. H. Smithson, of Ellensburg, served four years in the Senate of Washington, he has just been granted naturalization papers. If Smithson did not commit perjury in taking the oath of office he was near it, yes very near it. Despite the fact this is an age of anti-merger, a Texas widow with twelve children married a widower with thirteen. If this merger comes under the provisions of the Sherman law Wickersham should get busy. PACIFIC COAST COAL CO. MAIN 8040 Seattle Washington SEATTLE, WASH., FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1913 Zednick's Bill to reorganize the county governments of the state may be the real panacea for all the ills and complaints from which the tax payers of the various counties now and have been suffering, but to persons who have not given this county commission form of government as much consideration as has Mr. Zednick, it looks like a long leap in the dark. Put the selection of the various officials of the county into the hands of five commissioners and unless you get men of a higher moral stripe than many of those the counties of this state have been disgraced with, each of them would retire from office at the expiration of a second term, if not the first, multi-millionaires. Its the money thats in it that most men seek the office for. Collins Bill preventing the sale of fire arms only to policemen and members of the militia, is a long step in the right direction, as "gun toters" are always dangerous characters. With the gun toting completely eliminated, there would be less need of even policemen and other peace officers going about their duties as walking arsenals. From the amount of gun toting in the United States we would seem to be a race of canabals instead of Christians. This bill should receive every vote in the legislature and likewise the approval of the governor. Score one for Collins. A legal commission to draft the various laws to be acted upon by the legislature may be along the line of the most advance thought, but it would be an admission on the part of the lawmakers that they had to ask for a guardian in order to properly perform their duties as legislators. If there were less technical law in the various laws passed by the legislature and more common sense law there would be a million times less litigation in this land of the lawyer and kingdom of the judges. It matters not how simple a law may be written, lawyers spend hours interpreting the same to the court and then the court takes it under advisement and what he finally declares is the law is not in a hundred miles of what the lawmakers desired to be the law. Kill the commission bill. Foster's Bill bonding the state in the sum of $2,000,000 for the purpose of good road building is right in the main, but unless it is carefully safeguarded it will be badly imposed upon by persons who want the money and do not give a "tinkers dam" whether or not there are ever any good roads in the state. If the bill becomes a law, only trunk lines should be built out of this fund and the various township organizations of the state should be compelled to build their own laterals and cross roads. The state is sadly in need of good roads, not good roads, to only accommodate automobile owners, but as much for the accomodation of the farmer as the autoist. Let it be carefully guarded, Mr. Foster, if you want to serve the interest of all concerned. French's proposed black laws for the state of Washington, if passed by the legislature and approved by the governor, will be an admission by the members of the legislature that, they themselves are liable to become so facinated and enamored by the black emoritas that felony laws have to be enacted to restrain the dominant people of this country from being absorbed. Throughout the state of Washington there are not to exceed a baker's dozen white women married to black men, while on the other hand scores of white men are married to black women. The four million mulatto persons in this country are not due to black fathers and white mothers, but to white fathers and black mothers. This bill of Senator French has no higher aim than to crystalize the scattering forms of race prejudice that is occasionally found in this state. The Negro is as much an American citizen as Senator French or even Gov. Lister himself, and its neither civilization nor Christianity to legislate him into an outcast on the theory, might makes right. Organized labor, which was in session in Olympia the first of the week, recommended many measures to the legislature for enactment into laws, ninety-nine per cent of which is "class legislation" and is not worthy of consideration by broad guaged, liberal-minded thinking men and women. Organized labor VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 45 in its recommendations to the legislature never rises higher than its own selfish interest. Organized labor is no more interested in the uplift of laboring people than it is in the prevention of cruelty to animals. Pass laws, kill somebody or something devilish that will give organized labor more wage money and lessen the hours of labor and organized labor is ready and willing to say, to hell with everybody else. Davis' Bill providing state wide prohibition, has no more show of running the gauntlet of both houses of the legislature and the chief executive office than a snow ball would have in flying through hades, and its a wilful waste of the state's time and money to tie up legislation by considering it. The present local option law may need some retouching and if gone about in the right way may get it, but the thirteenth legislature is clearly anti-prohibition and all bills introduced looking toward prohibition will be killed as dead as Hector. Jackson bill compelling agents of transportation companies to deliver wet goods shipped into dry districts only to those to whom they are addressed is not a bad measure and the wet members of the legislature would do well to let it go through. Junketing Bill to expend $8,500 in a junketing trip to the various institutions of the state, looked a bit extravagant on the part of the members of the legislature, and yet it seems a good investment. The senate, however, killed the measure, which originated in the house, and so the members of the legislature will have no personal knowledge of the various institutions and will vote for appropriations therefor ignorantly. In the past the appropriations for the state institutions have been entirely too large for the good of the tax payers, however, honestly those appropriations may have been handled. A visit to those places would have greatly enlightened those who will vote for the appropriations in the very near future. Goss' Bill to repeal the death penalty law is a human one and should pass, though there is some doubt of it. Throughout Christendom, however, it is believed to be the Devine will that, who slays his fellow man shall himself be slain. It is a Mosaic law and believers in the Bible are not inclinde to go back of it. Gov. West, of Oregon, tried to do away with this law of death for death, but when he appealed to the people to sustain his contentions he was overwhelmingly turned down, and Goss' bill in all human probability would meet the same fate, if submitted to the voters of the state of Washington. When one wilfully takes the life of his fellow man, justice does not seem to have been properly administered unless his own life pays the penalty. Representative McArdle of Jefferson, aided by the representatives from the small counties of the state has successfully blocked the united efforts of the representatives of King County to apportion the state for legislative purposes as laid down by the constitution. The Seattle Republican prior to the convening of the legislature predicted this would be the final result of the move to re-apportion the state for legislative purposes. Mr. McArdle could have accomplished all he did and at the same time showed no disrespect to the constitution. In a small way he is now in the Gov. Blease class. After receiving 40,000 letters pointing out the writer's availability for a plum, Governor Wilson must have found that Black Hand note a welcome change.—New York Evening Sun. Now let Woodrow Wilson sleep with his weather eye open or the hoodoo of 1913 won't do a thing to him. However startling the divorce record may be to those who are not in sympathy with divorce getting, yet the fact remains that, when two persons find it impossible to get along the sensible thing for them to do is to get apart. CURRENT COMMENT HERE IS A MONEY SAVER HERE IS A MONEY SAVER If you are an attorney and have legal notices for publication it will be to your advantage financially and otherwise to get the prices of The Seattle Republican before sending your notices out. The Seattle Republican has been in the notice publishing business for the past twenty years and it knows how to take care of notices for attorneys, so as to cause them no annoyance. It is always prompt in making its proof of publication, thus preventing you from being delayed when you are ready for court, which means much to the busy man. The office is centrally located, which enables it to take notices as late as Friday noon, and being a Friday publication, gives the attorney one week over the Saturday publication and at the same time takes notices just as late as the Saturday publication.

Journalism as it is being fostered and taught at the University of Washington is wholly in the interest of the daily papers of the state, and those taking the course get the idea that journalism means being versed in the publishing of a metropolitan daily, and at best they can only expect to become cogs in the great wheel. If there is any need for a department of journalism in connection with the University, its chief aim should be to prepare those taking the course for weekly journalism, as daily journalism will take care of itself. Every rural community in this and every other state in the Union should boast of a strong weekly publication, strong because it formulates and leads public opinion, strong because the community looks to it for ideas, not only pertaining to that community, but pertaining to the affairs of the whole country. The day has long passed when the local paper's mission is filled, when it dishes up the gossips of the community. Each publisher must necessarily be a tower of strength and for the most part a walking encyclopedia. Students of schools of journalism must be taught to not depend on the patents to supply the news and information to their readers, but must have and express ideas on all of the topics of the day and must be alive to the needs of the community in which they conduct their papers. DIVORCE GETTING NOT UNUSUAL. An editorial writer declares divorce getting is not a modern evil, for in Babylonian days, 2300 years before Christ, divorce and alimony were granted to mismated couples. This divorce getting may be greatly on the increase nevertheless, when two persons are married and are so badly mismated that they know that they cannot live together, the best thing for them to do is to live apart, and if you are going to live apart then the honorable as well as sensible thing to do is to be legally divorced. "What God has joined together let no man put asunder" is a beautiful theory, but if you live up to its teachings it is awfully poor practice. Labor as hard as two persons will or may to harmonize their differences, yet they are often so great that, they can not be harmonized, and in such cases the sensible thing to do is to separate. So glad to get a divorce from his former wife was a millionaire coal dealer of Philadelphia that when the woman told him he might have a divorce uncontested if he would give her a million dollars, he replied, "I will make it two," and he did so and got his divorce. POLICE WOMAN COMMON NUISANCE. Mina Fay Edwards, a policewoman, who had trouble with the chief of the police, but who bested the chief before the civil service board by being reinstated, is making a fool of herself at the behest of the editor of the Times. If Mrs. Edwards had have let well enough alone she might have gone on and on and then some, but the editor of the Times found she could be used to his advantage and by feeding her pleasing taffy he soon had her doing his wishes, until she is now in a fair way of losing out completely, and she ought to, if for nothing more than because she tried to toady to Editor Blethen. SEATTLE CITIZENS ARE LUKEWARM. With but a few more days for registration in order to vote at the next primary and regular election, it is safe to predict at this writing that not to exceed forty per cent of the men and women in Seattle that have the right will qualify to vote, and that too when three members of the city council are to be elected and a number of bond issues as well as important legislation will be voted upon at the coming election. When men and women show no more general as well as specific interest in the affairs of the city and community than what is being shown in Seattle then the sooner they become subject to the will of a dictator the better off they will be. The legislature should pass a law disfranchising every man and woman for five years for failure to vote unless good and sufficient reasons are assigned. He or she who can vote and don't vote shouldn't vote. COL. BLETHEN GENERALLY CURSED. It is remarkable the number of persons in and about Seattle that speak ill of the Seattle Daily Times and its editor. May perhaps the paper will outlive the awful flaying it is now receiving at the hands of the public and be just a spopular as it once was when it boasted of representing the people, but it is very doubtful. Thousands of persons are subscribing for the coming evening paper, not so much for its supposed superior calss of news—for the Times has the news—but a a rebuke to the publishers of the Times. Outside of a select few abusing the Times and its editor is common to every gathering of men and women in Seattle. They not only pronounce it the "proverbal "damn lie," but they declare it hand and glove with every move that's opposed to the best interest of the general public. SAMPLES OF HUMAN HYENAS One of the leading preachers of Moscow, Idaho, was recently convicted of the crime of contributing to the depravity of a seventeen year old girl; not only guilty of the one, but other girls but fifteen years of age swore on the witness stand that the self same preacher had been criminally intimate with them. All parties concerned are white and mingle with the leading citizens of that community. In Seattle a few days ago a colored man was arrested and charged with carnally knowing a ten year old colored girl. Neither the mother of this unfortunate little girl or the male beast that took advantage of her mingle with the leading colored citizen s of Seattle and perhaps neither look upon it as a very heinous crime. However men guilty of such beastly acts whether intelligent or ignorant should be hanged until dead. UNITED STATES LAWLESSNESS America the Most Lawless Civilized Country in the World. The Christian Advocate (Nashville), in writing on "The Menace of Lawlessness," among other things, says: "Our record for lawlessness is without parallel in any other civilized country on earth." This is no far cry of an alarmist, but the sober opinion of one of the thoughtful, conservative writers of the times. The alarming element in the whole situation is that so few men and women realize the sad plight into which America has fallen. The reason for this is not far off. The country has lulled its conscience to sleep over the thought that the Negro is the victim and it does not matter so much. And thus indifferent the foundations of our Government are threatened. Now and then, however, there comes a strong note of warning. Recently Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University wrote a brief letter to the Evening Post (New York), on "The Disease of Lawlessness." This expression of Prof. Miller covers the case so clearly that we reproduce it in this connection. Mr. Miller writes: "Governor Blease, of South Carolina, has been condemned in every mood and tense for his phrase, 'To hell with the Constitution.' Yet the intrepid Governor is but an unabashed mouthpiece of a farreaching and widespread sentiment. The nation does well, in a spasm of virtue evoked by this fiery utterance, to aver and avow anew its devotion to ordained law and order; but the vehement outbreak of the Carolinian is but an eruptive symptom of a systemic evil. America is conceded to be the most lawless country of civilized pretensions on the face of the globe. The spirit of lawlessness vents itself in various forms. Political graft, bribery, corporate rapacity, municipal corruption, murder, riot, lynching, and mob violence are but outward symptoms of the inner spirit. It is not sufficient to hold up hands in horrified innocence, and appease the conscience by a casual denunciation of Gov. Blease. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution are over-ridden with impunity. There is not a fourteen-year-old male citizen | | If you are an attorney and have to your advantage financially and do Republican before sending your notice. The Seattle Republican has been the past twenty years and it knows how so as to cause them no annoyance. It is always prompt in making it you from being delayed when you are to the busy man. The office is centrally located, with Friday noon, and being a Friday publication the Saturday publication and at the Saturday publication. THE SEATTLE --- FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1913. in the United States who does not know this to be the ease. If one part of this revered instrument can be set aside at pleasure, why not all of it? If there is to be any saving reverence for the Constitution, it must be for the document as a whole. If parts are to be ignored, in accordance with the demands of local or temporary situations, what becomes of its binding sanction? The excuse which Gov. Blease pleads in extenuation of lawlessness is as old as crime. Men are ever prone to seek sacred sanction for human deviltry. That heinous crime should meet with condign punishment, is agreed to by all right-minded citizens. But experience shows conclusively that deviation from the law for one crime, however heinous, will lead to deviation for other offences, however trivial. Nor has it ever appeared that mob violence is a more effective deterrent to crime of any description than orderly enforcement of law. "Lawlessness is without question the greatest evil now gnawing at the vitals of the nation. The question is not political, or local, or radical, but is nation-wide. By calling this evil to the attention of the nation, Governor Blease may prove to be the negative cause of a positive cure. The offence must needs come, albeit the one through whom it cometh must suffer the odium of popular disesteem. But the national conscience, temporarily quickened by a frenzied outcry, cannot allow itself to lapse into acquiescent composure while the fundamental law is defied; for if our Constitution can be so easily remanded 'to hell,' our whole social fabric must speedily go the same way."—Southwestern Christian Advocate.

The population of continental United States is 96,496,000, with a bank account of $3,350,727, 580, or $34.72 per capita. California has 682 incorporated town and of those 101 went dry last November. Last year there were 221 homicides in Cook county, Illinois, while in London with three times the population there were thirty-three. There are eighty-eight establishments in the United States producing gold and silver leaf, which give employment to 1553 workers. Colorado has $750,000 lying idle in the state treasury. If that money was loaned to conservative farmers on first class security it would be an income to the state and a world of help to the farmers, who borrow money and pay 8 per cent per annum and 5 per cent commission. The bBalkan war with its 64 days of fighting cost $52,000,000, or $2,500,000 per day. In the great Civil war the expenditures of the North amounted to $2,-000,000 per day. No wonder Sherman said, "War is hell." Greater New York has forty-five distinct departments and bureaus with 60,000 employes, all of which is said to be peddled out at so much per by Tammany Hall. Uncle Sam's forests contain 187,000,000 acres with an undeveloped water power approximating 12,000,000 horse power. The question is, shall the states in which those reserves are to be found, own them or shall they remain the property of the United States? A pauper at Brockton, Mass., died recently and when his effects were examined it was discovered that he was worth $400,000, all of which was left to charity. His sister will contest the will. The record for the foot ball in 1912 showed ten killed and 183 injured. Joseph Bail W. Bailey, the Texas cyclone, served twenty-one years in Congress. Harvard's under-graduates in 1912 spent $92,225 for cigars and cigarettes, $73,250 for liquors and $71,-250 for books. No wonder Harvard has such brilliant graduates. Isaac D. Martin of Pratt City, Alabama, is the first colored man of that state to win a prize for farming, he having raised 200 bushels of corn on one acre of land, and received a $150 prize. The tenth cavalry and the twenty-fifth infantry, both colored, companies have the lowest rate for desertion, which is respectively 1.52 and 1.60 per cent. For the year 1913 The Seattle Republican has reduced the price of its subscription to $2, which is now due. Helen Gould, who married yesterday, disappointed the dressmakers' combine and the other vultures, who lay dead for wealthy weddings, by not allowing her trousseau to cost above $1,000, which, in comparison to the trousseaus of other millionaire weddings, was nothing at all. It is safe to say that the trousseau of Anna Gould cost one hundred times as much as her sister Helen's. It is estimated that the Panama Canal cost the United States $500,000,000. When completed it will save vessels sailing under the United States flag 4,000 miles in the coastwise trade. Samuel Gompers, who recently testified before a United States senate committee, declared he represented 2,000,000 working men and women, who while they were not in sympathy with the dynamiters, had grievances against capital which merited consideration as much as the deadly work of the dynamiters deserved condemnation. The highest salaries for city school superintendents in the United States are paid by New York, Chicago and Boston. New York recently increased her superintendent's salary from $10,000 to $12,000; Chicago pays her woman executive $10,000; and Boston pays the same amount to her new administrator. Pittsburg pays the head of her system $9,000; St. Louis pays $8,000, and Philadelphia, Seattle and Buffalo each. $7,500. Eight cities are reported in the $6,000 group as regards salaries to school superintendents. These range from large cities like Detroit and Milwaukee (the former with 465,766 inhabitants and the latter with 373,857 by the 1910 census), down to Montclair, N. J., population 21,550, and Gary, Indiana, with 16,802. Other cities in the $6,000 class are: Los Angeles, Jersey City, Cleveland and Newark, N. J. In the South the best-paid superintendents are at Birmingham, Alabama, and New Orleans, both of whom receive $5,000. The former has served since THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN 1883. The superintendent at Washington, D. C., also receives $5,000, as do the heads of school systems at Des Moines, Iowa; Pasadena, Cal.; Louisville, Ky.; Baltimore, Md.; Newton, Mass.; Bayonne, N. J.; Rochester, N. Y.; Yonkers, N. Y.; Dayton, Ohio; Toledo, Ohio; Denver, Colo.; and Scranton, Pa. Minneapolis reports a salary of $5,500. GREETING THE PARCEL-POST. Our information is that about 89,977 men received the first package sent by parcel-post—Houston Post. And some man will probably carry about in his pocket for days the 11-pound parcel that his wife gives him to mail.—Detroit Free Press. The parcel-post packages mailed in Yonkers were a brindle bulldog and a piece of meat, both of which were finally delivered in one bundle.—Washington Post. An Indiana brick manufacturer has just sent out 1,000 six-pound paving bricks via the parcel-post. It is conceivable that this new postal department may furnish a new and remunerative occupation for unemployed longshoremen.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. It is possible, if not probable, that Postmaster-General Hitchcock broke one of his New Year's resolutions when he found some of the newspapers hailing ex-Postmaster-General Wanamaker as "father of the parcel-post."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. The day is coming when the man who wants to go somewhere can stick a few stamps on his hat and be carried by mail.—Emporia Gazette. The provision against sending infernal machines by parcel-post can not be so constructed as to cover the egg that has lingered unduly in storage.—Washington Star. A great many jokes are being made about the parcel-post. The loud and prolonged laughter does not come from the express companies.—Washington Star. And even eggs will be transported by parcel-post. The rural mail carrier may soon be complaining that the yolk is heavier than he can bear.—Kansas City Journal. Parcel-post disappointment No. 1: It is reported that eggs and other comestibles shipped through the mails will be delivered at the front door with the letters, instead of at the back door with the market-basket and the groceries.—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

CAYTONIA 303 Twenty-second, South FRIDAY. JANUARY 24. 1913 PURELY PERSONAL Mrs. Edna Hartman Wilson and her daughter were made sole executors of the estate of the late John Lockwood Wilson. Both of them are in the city, having returned from the East one day last week. The estate is estimated to be worth a half million dollars. E. Heister Guie spent the most of the past week in Olympia watching the proceedings of the legislature. He was twice a member of a Washington legislature and once speaker of the house of representatives. Mr. Guie is one of Seattle's leading as well as most successful attorneys. Michael J. McNamee, a city detective, who broke open the door of a house and shot an occupant, was convicted, and his conviction is a deserving rebuke of those policemen, who get the idea into their heads that, they are the whole show in the way of curbing crime in the community. Frank M. Sullivan is one newspaper man that was able to break away from the profession and then make good at his new business. He is now president of the American Savings Bank and Trust Company and begins his new business under most brilliant auspices. A. G. McBride, one of Seattle's well known attorneys, who was under three different administrations a deputy in the office of the prosecuting attorney, has taken offices with A. J. Speckert, one of the most successful practitioners in the Northwest and has already begun his new duties. Mr. McBride was a candidate for prosecuting attorney last year. Peter Miller, who is now on trial in Tacoma for burglary, may be guilty of all he is charged, but to the average citizens it looks more like persecution than prosecution. Tom Page is one of the state's witnesses and if he is a sample of the witnesses that the state expects to convict Miller by, it is here predicted that he will be acquitted of not only the burglary charge, but of all the perjury charges that have been filed against him.
