Main 305 422 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - Associate If the books of municipalities were correctly kept, the grafters would have to go out of business and thus would another army of unemployed have to meet the cold charities of the world. The Democratic tidal wave last fall seems to be responsible for the cold wave that is hanging over the commercial and industrial enterprises of this country just now. To distinguish between the "great" and the "near great" persons of the world depend wholly upon your standard of greatness. English physicians have fallen out with themselves over "the price" for attending patients. American physicians take all their patients have and divide the spoils. In deciding against a public reception to President Wilson immediately after his inauguration, the Democrats must be fearful less a public indignation meeting against his political policy be held too soon thereafter. Single tax may have its short comings, but Judge Albertson gave it a long inning. Its advocates are not only persistent, but likewise insistent. It will be a fire when it burns. Its only a few weeks more before this republic will become a democracy from stem to gudgeon; and thus do all things come to those who wait. "Cures" for cancer and consumption are coming thick and fast, but we notice death from those diseases are about as numerous as before they were discovered. Disease seems to have but little regard for "cures." Should Coal Bill run as expensive an account in February as he did in January, somebody is going to go broke as well as cold. Despite the fact that February is the shortest month in the year, she boasts of the greatest number of legal holidays. Those of the Turks that the allied powers left alive, evidently do not feel that life is worth living, and they have begun to slay each other. Turkey must be destroyed. That grocer, who was holding a political seance in his store, and was forced to turn his face to the wall while robbers relieved the till of its contents, has learned again that it don't pay to mix politics with business. Falsifying election returns is so common to the entire South that the arrest of forty-five election officers for padding the returns sounds like a false comedy act at a funeral. It seems that Jack Johnson is as anxious to get out of the country as Castro is to get in. Uncle Sam, however, thinks Johnson more serviceable than Castro, and so he keeps Jack in and Castro out. This is an an eve single to business. Who knows but Europe will soon boast of a United Balkan States Republic, fashioned after your Uncle Sam. Asia did it last year and Europe may likewise show her good sense this year. Though Gen. Sickles was a brave man and had high ideals, yet he was neither brave nor morally strong enough to keep from stealing when a golden opportunity presented itself. A bill has been introduced in the United States senate increasing the membership of the supreme court two points. Wray's eulogy on the late Senator John A. Whalley was a touching tribute paid to a fellow member of the legislature and especially since Representative Wray did not intimately know him until they were both members of the legislature. John A. Whalley was a loveable character and his death was regretted by all who knew him. McArdle of Jefferson, is having trouble with the editorial writer of the Post-Intelligecer, and whether McArdle or the P.-I. got worsted in the bout is hard to say, but certain it is, McArdle lost his temper and used language in describing the editor of the P.-I. that would not sound well in a Sunday School. If the Constitution of the state is wrong then the thing for Mr. McArdle to do is to have the Constitution changed. Davis' prohibition bill may fail of passage, but if it does the advocates of state wide prohibition will resort to the referendum and to that end petitions are already being circulated all over the state, with the view of having such an amendment put on the ballot in 1914, and thereby give the voters an opportunity to express themselves on the advisability of state wide prohibition for Washington. An open fight between the "drys" and the "wets" of this state seems certain of being waged next year. Jackson, senator from King and also member of the board of directors of the Monroe reformatory, is courting a thorough investigation of the institution by the legislature and says, "I have no fear of the outcome." In this he is backed by Corwin S. Shank, another member of the board. The legislature should accommodate the board, if for nothing else than to stop so much seemingly unnecessary criticism. Senator Allen's resolutions of gratitude to Charles S. Reed, superintendent of the Walla Walla penitentiary, for the good service he has rendered the state, was timely as well as deserving. No person ever in the employ of the State has rendered her more efficient service than has Charles S. Reed and it is to be regretted that politics was instrumental in him leaving the service of the state. Dr. Kane's appropriation for new buildings at the University of Washington did not get the warm reention in the legislature that he had anticipated and the odds are against the University getting one half as much as Dr. Kane asked for. In years past the King county delegation has always been a unit for the wants of the University of Washington, but the present delegation is not only not a unit on the wants of the University, but some of them are actually fighting Dr. Kane's recommendations. There is no doubt but that Dr. Kane has outlived his usefulness at the University, and the sooner he throws up the sponge the better for the University and the whole State of Washington. Campbelle's bill wanting a constitutional amendment submitted to the people to prevent the courts from declaring legislative enactments unconstitutional seems to be an indirect way Senator Campbelle has for abolishing the courts of the state. Judges may some times rule very arbitrarily and not in keeping with common sense, but such judges are the exceptions and not the rule and such a law as that proposed by Senator Campbelle would completely overthrow the fundamental principles of this government. To say the, least, the bill is a foolish one and should be killed. French's black law bill has not been reported out of the senate as yet, and when it is it is truly hoped that it will be indefinitely postponed, and especially sa so far as the Negro is concerned. The passage of such a law as he has proposed simply means that other black laws will be introduced in the coming legislature and God knows where they will end. The black folk are doing nothing in the State of Washington to be humiliated as the French bill will do, and it is hoped that a majority of the members of the legislature who know this to be a fact, will stand by their convictions and vote all the black laws down and out. Foster and other members of the King county delegation will make a fight to have the reapportion- VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 45 ment bill opened up and some of the members from the smaller counties seem inclined to give King something of a square deal, but not wholly so. Goss of King is doing some good work in the house this year and he is on the high road to making for himself quite a reputation. If Goss can manage to keep the swelling out of his head he will be of some benefit to his constituents. This is not said with the view of trying to humiliate him or because the writer has a grievance against him, but for his own good, as hundreds of persons, who observed him in the legislature two years ago declared, he had such an awful dose of the swell head that he could scarcely get through the doors of the state house. Corkery's bill having for its object the right to recall judges by popular vote has been indefinitely postponed, and it met a deserving death. Judges under the ban of recall would neither rule for or against litigants and in the courts pandemonium would reign supreme. The house has shown its good sense by indefinitely postponing the objectional measure. PARAGRAPHS It is to be regretted that the home where lived Francis Scoot Key, the author of the "Star-Spangled Banner," our beloved national air, is being demolished. The government should have owned that house and kept it intact as long as possible. Bills have been introduced in six northern states having for their object the prevention of white and "colored" folk from legally marrying. What has been only a radical condition in this country is being rapidly legalized into a race problem, which will result in more race trouble. It is declared that New York city has 35,000 fallen women living in houses of ill-fame, or in places where they receive men for immoral purposes, and in the past each of them paid from $60 to $1,000 per month for police protection, which did not include an annual stipulated fee the law exacted from them on entering the business. The foreign commerce of these countries in 1911 was $2,100,000,000, of which the United States captured about $600,000,000, and this sum will doubtless be doubled in the next decade with opening of the Panama canal. Andrew Carnegie's beneficences for 1912 reached the enormous sum of $135,000,000, almost one-half as much as was contributed by all the other liberal-hearted Americans during that period. The approximate score of the steel magnate's gifts now stands as follows: Libraries, $52,000,000; pensions for college professors, $22,000,000; colleges (mostly small and struggling institutions), $20,000,000; hero funds, peace funds and miscellaneous, $113,000,000; Carnegie corporation, $125,000,000. The total amounts to the stupendous height of $332,000,000. This gives Mr. Carnegie a strong lead in the race for distributing millions, his closest competitor being John D. Rockefeller, with a credit of only $175,000,000. The Y. M. C. A. of North America has now a membership of 566,000, an increase of 30,000 over last year. New buildings were opened to the value of $7,000,000, and during 1913 eighty new buildings are planned, to cost $10,000,000. The annual budgets of the 2,192 Associations will total up $11,000,000 during 1913, and three-fourths of this large sum comes from membership dues, paid by young men themselves. The international and State Associations, which are the promoting agencies, spend $700,000 a year. There are 4,000 employed officials. It is claimed that attendance of men at religious meetings and on Bible classes the past year was 5,800,000, but the report, just out, makes no mention of numbers gotten by Associations into actual membership in the churches. It is stated, however, that during 1913 greater efforts are to be made on this line, and next year the figures will be given. $2.00 for the year 1913 is the price of The Seattle Republican. It is always readable and you will never regret a subscription price for it. TALKS ABOUT SEATTLE 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.

Perhaps the chief incentive to seek these positions is the salary that each of them carry with election. The most of those seeking the three nominations are doing so for the salary and incidentally to put through the city council some pet hobby or serve some selfish interest. The city pays its nine councilmen princely salaries to look after the best interest of the city and the tax payers and whoever is elected a member of the city council should completely overlook selfish interests and endeavor to do those things that will be of the most benefit to the greatest number of persons. Each of the three councilmen whose term of office expires in seeking re-election, and since they have been in the council it is the concensus of opinion that they have tried to do the best they could, but the best one can do does not always suffice. What the tax payers want are results. In a position like that in question one must do and can not be given any great amount of credit for just trying to do. There are a number of aspirants that would make ideal councilmen, if their success in the council is to be measured by their success in business lines, and the voters should give their candidacy careful consideration before saying we will put the three old ones back. VOTING FOR PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Men should live up to their promises, but it sometimes transpires to live up to your promise means great financial loss and untold distress, in which case those to whom the promise has been made should willingly consent for the promise to be broken. This applies to public affairs the same as to private and though those estimating for public enterprises in their enthusiasm often estimate too low and after the building or enterprise has been begun see their mistake and of course ask for more funds, there is no deception intended. It is then up to the voter to investigate the proposition and determine in his or her mind whether the enterprise is really meritorious, and if the money already invested in its construction has been wrongfully handled. If it is found that the project is a good one and the money economically handled then it is a business proposition pure and simple to vote additional funds. Every public enterprise for which the city has been bonded has proven profitable to the tax payer, even though the money has not always been handled as economically as it might have been. The building of a municipal lighting plant for Seattle has saved the tax payers millions of dollars and the half has not been told. If the rates for electric juice continues to go down as they have been doing since the establishing of the municipal lighting plant, it is only a matter of a few more months before electric juice will be cheaper to heat your house with than coal. Do you think such would have ever been the case had not the city gone into the electric lighting business? A few months ago a bond issue of $950,000 was voted for a new court house and it was agreed by those who studied the situation that that amount was amply sufficient, but it now transpires that it is not. If the court house as planned is a good business proposition, and if there is no graft in it, why not vote the additional funds? If a private concern had undertaken a like proposition, it would not hesitate to raise the necessary additional funds. In considering bond issues study the from a private enterprise standpoint, and if to you they seem meritorious, support them. DIVIDE CITY HALL PARK The voters of Seattle have been called upon to decide whether the old city hall site shall be kept as a park or be held subject to the erection of a building thereon when the city is ready to do so. That it is a most pleasing as well as inviting breathing spot in the heart of the city every one fully agrees, and the comfort of the people should be the first thing to be looked after by the municipality. On the other hand if that plat of ground is turned over to the park board for park purposes the city has no place down town on which to erect a city hall and it will simply mean that, sooner or later, a city hall will have to be built outside of the heart of the city. Let us suggest to the authorities that Jefferson street be vacated from Fourth to Third and then build the city hall in connection with the proposed court house and not cover more than half of the plat, which would leave a small parking plat. FORTY-TWO FOR THREE PLACES The following persons have filed and really hope to be one of the three nominees for the city council: THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN S ABOUT SE [Image of a man in a suit with a tie, facing left, with a mustache.] DR.

That Seattle is the most healthy city in the world, is shown by the statistics that have been collected on this point, but it is not the health point that we are going to talk about, but the man who is responsible for Seattle's healthy condition, which is none other than Dr. J. E. Crichton, who, when he began his crusade against the rodents that infested the whole city as disease spreaders, was laughed at by a majority of the citizens and the money the city council appropriated to carry out his views of health promoting were branded as not only extravigant, but absolutely foolish. Without retorting back, Dr. Crichton worked away and now, but a few years after he started in on his work of making Seattle the city of health, he sees his labors crowned with surprising success. The question of single tax for Seattle, is again before the public, and will be voted on at the next general election. This same question was voted on two years ago and was turned down with a dull, sickening thud, and why its advocates think it will carry at this time is more than can be explained.

THE SEATTLE --- CAUSE OF SEATTLE'S HEALTH SINGLE TAX DISCUSSED. and that too without discussing any of its merits or demerits. There may have been specific propaganda work carried on in the interest of single tax during the two years just elapsed, but there has been no general propaganda work done and the people, for the most part, are no better educated on the merits of single tax this year than they were two years ago, and if they reverse themselves this year it will be because they are tired of hearing so much talk about it, and simply vote for it to see what there really is in the issue. Later on The Seattle Republican will say more on this subject of single tax and the advisability of it being adopted by the voters. Paid Advertisement Homer M. Hill, who is now a candidate for Councilman, has been a resident of Seattle for twenty-seven years and has seen the city grow from less than 10,000 in habitants to its present size. On account of serving a term in the City Council he has made a study of civic affairs for the past fourteen years. As executive secretary of the Federated Improvement Clubs for the past eleven years, he has had an exceptional opportunity to know the needs of all parts of the City. The most notable work of the Federated Clubs has been in conection with the Charter Amendment giving the Park Board executive authority, resulting in the Park and Boulevard system, of which we all are so proud, and which is admitted to be one of the great assets of the city. Also, in connection with the work of having enacted laws making it possible for the suburbs to be annexed to the City, and thus make our Greater Seattle. Mr. Hill declares that "In the full development of our City, many expensive improvements are absolutely necessary, but our method of treatment of those who pay the bills does not need to be so strenuous and harsh. If elected to the Council he will aim to make the burden of local improvements as light as possible. Thousands of our citizens are groaning under these heavy loads and many are threatened with a total loss of their property. These oppressive conditions can be lightened in many ways, without a hardship on any individual or interest. For example: Condemnation assessments must be paid within 60 days or your property will be sold. The Treasurer must sell it—he has no alternative. By a very slight change in our laws, five, ten or twenty bounds can be issued instead, drawing a low rate of interest. Five year local improvement bonds can be extended to 20 years, seven per cent interest reduced to five per cent. The first payment on the 20 year bonds can be deferred five years—giving the property owners a chance to realize some benefit before he begins to pay, and also a chance to save his property. Present indebtedness can be funded at a lower rate of interest. In this way hundreds of thousands of dollars can be saved annually to those taxpayers who need it most. Our penalty of $15\%$ interest on delinquent taxes would do credit to the oppressive tax collectors of modern Turkey or ancient Egypt. He has made two tours of twenty-five (25) of the largest cities of the United States at his own expense for the purpose of studying civic betterments. He is a member of the A. O. U. W. and the W. O.

Upon reading and filing the petition of Martha E. Nelson, praying that she as administratrix of the estate of Wm F. Nelson, deceased, be authorized empowered and directed to mortgage the real estate belonging to the estate which described as follows, to-wit: All of lot no. eight (8) and the north ten (10) feet of lot No. nine (9), in block twelve (12) of Walla Walla Addition to the City of Seattle, situate, lying and being in the County of King and State of Washington.

Office and postoffice address, $14 Northern Bank & Trust Bldg., Seattle, Wash. 4 PURELY PERSONAL PURELY PERSONAL Willis Taylor has had sufficient advertisement in the courts to be wanted in New York for the stage. Advertising of the kind he is getting is worth something. Judge Rudkin of the federal court of Eastern Washington has dug an awful hole in the accumulated cases in the Seattle district of the federal court. He goes after things with a vim and he always gets them. M. E. Hay, who thought of going into business in Seattle after retiring from office, has changed his mind and moved to Spokane. He was offered the presidency of the Mercantile bank of Seattle, but the J. E. Frost, who jumped the tax commission to run deal fell through. for Congress and got left, has decided to reside for the present in Olympia. He is undecided where he will cast his lot or in what business he will engage. Horace P. Lawhorn has been delegated by the Tacoma branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to go to Olympia and use his influence against the passage of the French Intermarriage Bill so far as Negroes are concerned. Mr. Lawhorn is a successful real estate man of Tacoma. Otis M. Moore is giving the citizens more good reading matter in the Skagitt County Courier of Sedro-Woolley than they bargained for, but Moore is built that way. If possible, without too much loss to himself, he always gives the other fellow the big end of the bargain. Frederick Orness, publisher of the Mt. Vernon Argus, is giving to his customers the almost ideal country weekly. Its local columns are full and overflowing with the doings of the community, its news columns are well filled with wholesome news and its editorial columns are full of meat for thought. The last issue of the Argus is deserving of especial mention. D. J. Davis, who was prominent in Republican circles of the tenth legislature from Kitsap county, has been named by the sheriff of Kitsap county as his chief deputy. He was a hard worker in the legislature and was an uncompromising John L. Wilson man, who was then a formidable candidate for the United States senate. Dr. E. E. Butler, of Anacortes, for many years prominent in Republican politics of Skagit county as well as the state, is rated by the Mt. Vernon Argus as being worth $4,000,000. His sudden fortune is due to the arrival of twin boys at his home. If some one would only take one or two pairs of our twins perhaps similar fortune might smile in our door. George A. Joiner, who was thrice unanimously elected judge of the superior court of Skagit county, was tendered a most flattering banquet by the bar and the citizens of Skagit on his voluntary retiring from the bench. Few judges were as generally popular as was Judge Joiner. George E. Dickinson, a former Seattle man, but who now resides in Concrete, Wash., where he is a member of the city council, narrowly escaped death a few days ago from a falling rock. He was painfully injured, but by no means dangerously. Mr. Dickinson is a son of one of the promoters of the present electrical company in Seattle, who for a number of years was superintendent of the same. J. B. Edwards, postmaster of the thirteenth legislature of the State of Washington, whose home is at Concrete, is seriously ill and his family has been summoned to his bedside. Col. Edwards is an old-time Seattle printer. He was a candidate for the legislature in Skagit county, but was beaten in the primaries. Andrew R. Black, an attorney at law, and Rev. W. D. Carter, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church of Seattle, have been selected to appear before the senate committee at Olympia and protest against the passage of the bill preventing the inter-marriage of the white and darker races, and especially so far as the Negro is concerned, on the grounds that, the Negro is a citizen of the United States and should not be legislated against as are aliens. Albert Johnson, congressman-elect from the Second district, left Hoquiam last Sunday headed for Washington City to be present at the inauguration of President Wilson and to be ready for the extra session that is to eb called by the president. When Johnson left Washington City for the Northwest, it is said, he vowed that one day he would return a member of Congress, and he has kept his word. He not only returns a member of Congress, but he has amassed quite a small fortune since he has been in the Northwest, as his A. P. franchise of Hoquiam is of itself well worth $100,000. Samuel C. Calderhead is a candidate for the receivership of the United States land office at Waterville and is strongly endorsed by not only the Democrats of that neck of the woods, but likewise the Republicans. The Big Bend Empire comes out flatfootedly for him, and thinks the Democrats will make many friends for themselves if he is named for the place. Sam Calderhead is well and favorably known in Seattle, where he frequently ran for office on the Democratic ticket. His party had little or no success in Seattle and Sam had to finally take to the woods in order to get the coin. His old friends here, who are Republicans as well as Democrats, hope that he will pluck the persimmon. T. S. Lippy, who was recently defeated for the world's golf championship down in California, is one of Seattle's heaviest realty investors and has some of the best rental property in the city. Instead of going into active business after he had dug a fortune out of the ground up in Alaska and returned to civilization, he invested his ready cash from time to time in high grade real estate, which at the time was very cheap in comparison to what it now is and the income from his investments gives him sufficient money to live in perfect ease and at the same time do a world of charity work. He is a hard worker in the Methodist Episcopal church and equally ardent in the cause of the Young Men's Christian Association. The Seattle Republican for the year 1913 will be only two dollars. Let us send it to you and you will never regret it. On account of the reduction you, who are subscribers, are expected to pay when the collector calls. The last six months of 1912, some 791 new vessels were built in the United States, with an aggregate tonnage of 163,584. It is now proposed to abolish every vestige of serfdom in the Russian government and a bill has been introduced in the council to that effect. Instead of all of the branches of the Kansas state government being in the hands of the Bull Moosers, as was published herein some time ago, they are in the hands of the Democrats.

JANUARY 31. 1913 CURRENT COMMENT CAN LAND NOWHERE Caprino Castro, erstwhile tyrannical president of Venezuela, South America, who was fired from Europe and has been refused admission into the United States, is now a man without a country, and God only knows what will become of him. Should he go back to Venezuela he doubtless would be killed before he had been in the country an hour, and on account of his highhandled method of treating the foreigners doing business in Venezuela while he was president, no country on either the Eastern or Western continent will permit him to remain or even put foot on its soil. Poor devil, he is to be pitied. AN AGED PUBLIC DEFAULTER The shortage of Gen. Daniel E. Sickles has been on the tongues of the public for months, but the whole reached a climax last Monday when the veteran warrior was placed under arrest and his bond fixed at $30,000, which had been made for him before he was served with the warrant. In spite of his war record, he used large sums of the state's money, which had been entrusted to him, and was unable to return the same, when called upon. The question is Is Gen. Sickles a criminal and deserving of the same punishment as any other persons, who embezzles the state's funds? Every body sympathizes with him on account of his age, and more especially his prominence, and though he be found guilty, it is hoped that the governor of the state will promptly pardon him. PETER MILLER'S LEGAL BATTLE In the conviction of Peter Miller, providing the supreme court does not reverse the lower court, the state has gained quite a legal victory and Prosecutor Murphy has shown his Irish blood to the very best davautage. Peter, as has been previously said in these columns, is perhaps guilty of all he has been charged, but the police tried to railroad him to the gallows without giving him a show for his white anty, and public sentiment turned in Peter's favor. Peter, however, can console himself as did a young man that had been on a protracted spree who, while on his way home at midnight, passed a brewery and observed the building lighted up from pit to dome. "I may not be able to drink all they make, but by gosh I make them set up late a-nights." For the past three years Peter has kept the prosecuting attorney's office, as well as the police detectives working over-time, and the end is not yet in sight. SOLD KEEP-SAKE FOR A PITTANCE The favorite niece of the martyred McKinley sold a souvenir plate of her uncle not long since to a pawnbroker for the measly sum of $700, and that, too, despite the fact the president left her over a hundred thousand dollars. She subsequently married a man with more money than she had. This is a true case of money-mad, as a souvenir, relic or keepsake of her distinguished uncle and benefactor to her was without value and if there was any one that would give a dollar for it that was a dollar made and she wanted it. "A WHITE MAN'S TOWN" Real estate dealers of Pt. Angeles have entered into an iron-clad agreement to not sell Negroes land in that community, on the grounds that, their ownership or real estate depreciates surrounding property. If some of the persons called Negroes in this country should apply to purchase real estate in Pt. Angeles those dealers would have to do some tall figuring to distinguish them from Caucasians. But what a strange combination of contradictions do we find in person who undertake to carry out such a program as this. They contribute millions of dollars to Christianize the heathens, "but don't come near me after you have been Christianized." How can Negroes be other than of a lower order of the genus homo, from a white man's standpoint, if they are not permitted to take lessons from them? It's the hope of most seacoast cities to become metropolitan communities, which means the world's citizenship congregated, but Pt. Angeles wants to grow by advertising "This is a White Man's Town." Who would have thought there could have been found white men in the state of Washington so narrow-minded or radically bigoted? Shame, shame on you, Mr. Johnson. Statisticans declare divorces are seven times more numerous in the United States than in Europe, but Japan closely crowds the United States in the matter of divorce-getting.
