Main 305 422 Epler Block Seattle, Washington HORACE ROSCOE CAYTON - Publisher SUSIE REVELS CAYTON - - Associate Hades is hearing a good deal about the misfortunes of Turkey just now. Twice within the past week the P.-I. took a decided stand on public questions. Is there a screw loose somewhere? An appendix, to any one, is an expensive luxury, but that Peruvian woman who is spending $100,000 to get rid of hers holds the record. Even the dead is to be disturbed that Lillian Graham, a former Renton girl, may get through the world on her shape. That's right, every girl should have her own room, if for nothing else so that she could hide her laziness behind locked doors. Of course "a girl's bite is dangerous," even if she is pretty. When a girl's scorn is dangerous, there is no doubt about her bite being dangerous. With war raging in the Balkans, Mexico and West Virginia, the devil must have his hands full handling the crowds. Mrs. Blessing wants a divorce and Mr. Blessing has no objections. She evidently is not longing for further matrimonial Blessing and he evidently thinks she has had too darn much Blessing for her good. "Will Congress Act Now?" is a P.-I. head-line. Not if it can help itself. Congress seldom acts and when it does it acts so badly that it would be just as well if it did not act at all. In all probability that missionary that was arrested in Paris for relieving a young women of $400,000, wanted the money to pay for Christianizing himself. Charity, you know, begins at home. Now that Nevada requires a twelve-months residence before one can bring a divorce proceeding, Puget Sound ought to get the most of the members of the divorce colony. If the Mexicans do not quit their slaughtering of sas legislature, that state will not get to taste the initiative and referendum panacea that is said to be the cure for all governmental aches and complaints. Unless the Mexicans quit their slaughtering of each other the whole damn family will get their gable ends badly blistered, as Uncle Sam is getting good and tired of the row. "You're a liar," didn't sound good to Chief Bannick and Attorney Horner now knows it. It is not always safe to use such language, even if you have reasons to believe that you are correct. Count Boni, Anna Gould's former jack-in-the-box, is reported as having a lead-pipe cinch on marrying J. Pierpont Morgan's daughter. He may be a shrimp, but he manages to always attach himself to the money. The house of representatives of Congress is on record against the inter-marriage of whites with Negroes, Japanese and Chinese. Being compelled to live SEATTLE, WASH., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1913 with one did not seem to be to the tastes of Mr. Democratic Congressman. We have our suspicions that Frederick O. Beach now knows what it is to be in the power of a woman, and ere this he is a poorer but wiser man, on account of his experience. A more plausible defense might have been put up had the Beaches paid some Negro to confess and plead guilty to Mrs. Beach's assault. Uncle Sam's insular possessions are calling for more troops and his continental possessions are objecting, on the ground that the game is not worth the candle, and there is more truth than poetry in the allegation. Commissioner Remsberg had the reputation six years ago of being able to get the money, but his former reputation for getting the money paled into insignificance to what it now is, if half that has been published about him be true. There is no doubt but that hostilities have been reopened between the Turks and the allied powers and the Turks quite aware of it from the number of their dead. The Turks might have compromised, but they felt certain the European powers would quarrel among themselves and they would profit thereby, as they have done in the past, but they now see their mistake. They are doomed to be driven from Europe. Unless Hayti gets awful busy Mexico will doubly discount her in the way of revolutions, and that would simply be awful. Today the Mexican capital is in the hands of the rebels and the next day the regulars hold the fort, and thus do the two armies exchange compliments with each other, while the country is going to the dimnation-bow-wows. The most friendly act the United States could perform would be to whip both sides to a frazzle and make them be good. Whether we do or do not agree with the other fellow in times of misfortune, over which he has no control, we are ever ready to extend a helping hand or speak a word of comfort, all of which prompts us to say that, we sorely regret the recent misfortunes of the Seattle Daily Times. From whatever viewpoint you may look at it, The Times is a powerful institution in the community and has to be reckoned with. It, perhaps, does not do things as you or I would, or as we would have it do, but it does do things and fills a field of usefulness, in its own peculiar way, that no other does. Looking at the Times from a journalistic standpoint, it has been a howling success, and, it is barely possible, from a newsstand point no other paper in the Northwest comes any nearer giving the public value received for its money than does the Times. However well the plant may have been insured the fire last Thursday morning, which totally disabled the plant and necessitated having the paper issued from the Post-Intelligencer's plant, will entail untold financial loss to the company in the way of business and circulation. The fire, however, may hasten the erection of the new building that had been contemplated, and perhaps, planned. PRIMARY ELECTION. Next Tuesday the municipal primary election will be held in Seattle, at which six persons will be nominated for three positions as councilman for three years. Forty-seven persons have filed for this honor, and the most of them are absolutely confident they will be the lucky one and perhaps they are all correct, but it is feared that they are not. To advise you as to the best men for the positions would not be an easy matter, for be it remembered, even an editor is not allwise. You and each of you have your friends whom you will support and just the same as an editor. At this time we refrain from discussing either the merits or the merits of the respective candidates, but we are going to give you the names of six aspirants for whom if you vote you will make no grave mistake: Homer M. Hill, will make an ideal councilman; Edwin F. Blaine has already made good in the council and we believe will do so again. Charles Marble, for the year he has been a member of the council, has done well. Austin E. Griffiths has shown himself to be a true and tried representative. George B. Littlefield would make a good councilman as would P. P. Carroll. VOLUME XIV. NUMBER 47 THE LEGISLATURE. Christenson proposes to abolish the office of lieutenant governor, and perhaps the idea is a good one, but if the office is abolished, then subsequent legislatures will be devoid of any ornamental feature. Governor Lister has warned the appointive state officials against hanging around Olympia doing the lobbying act. We suspect the officials in question are more interested in Gov. Lister than they are in what the legislature will do, and they are in Olympia quietly lobbying with friends of the governor to save for a time, at least, their official heads. It is more than likely that Gov. Lister will vetoe the Cheney normal school appropriation, and if he does, it will not be passed over his veto. Schools are very essential to the success of a state or community, but there is such a thing as having too much schools, and this seems to be one of those times. The senate has passed the teachers' pension bill and it is now before the house for its consideration. This bill has the support of some of the most influential persons of the state and the teachers themselves are solid for its passage, but in spite of all this, it looks very much like class legislation. The Mothers' Pension bill has run the gauntlet of the house and has been transmitted to the senate for its consideration. The present legislature promises to hold the record for passing pension acts, if those now under consideration are passed, and it looks as if they will be. If Hughes' bill becomes a law, Washington will have an official flag; the proposition did not look good to Foster, and he went after it with hammer and tongues, but the other members of the house saw it in another light and supported the measure. There seems to be nothing wrong in the state having an official flag and to our minds it will be showing no disrespect whatever to Old Glory. The present legislature is considering the advisability of pensioning judges after they have served on the bench. The most of the judges in Seattle at present are in excellent financial circumstances and for them to accept a pension would be like a prize-fighter taking candy from a baby. Gerrymandering the congressional districts of the state by the present legislature would be a very foolish move, and that, too, without regard to the party it benefited. Let the state be districted according to the rules laid down by Congress, and also to the best advantage of the state itself and good sense will be shown. Seattle is furnishing a heavy lobby these days, the heaviest, perhaps, for many years. Chief among those who are looking after either private or company interests, are J. C. C. Eden of the Superior Portland Cement Company, George W. Allen, representing a voting machine concern, George F. Meacham and a score of others representing the tide land interest. To the King county lobby, add the Pierce county contingent, and those from other communities of the state, and Olympia has an army of interested Third Housers that is equal to ye olden days when Levi Ankeny was trying to be elected to the United States senate. FIXING THE PRESIDENTIAL TERM The United States Senate has passed a measure by which the presidential term is extended to six years and limited to one term. This is in accord with a sentiment that has been growing for years. Perhaps it would have remained merely as sentiment for many years, had it not been for the well-known activities of Theodore Roosevelt, who, in his insistence that the people rule, thought to put aside the honored custom of the possible two terms of four years each. The theory of popular government is all right, meaning that the people have what they want, when the people actually want something. It does not mean leading them against their better judgments by those who are in position to do so. Woodrow Wilson, president-elect, is very popular at this time. He is thought to be of excellent judgment, of great qualities, heart and head. Many men will swear by him, owing to what he is, or what they think he is. In an hour of JACOB FURTH. E. W. ANDREWS. undue ambition he could play havoc with our theories of government—that is, after he has become thoroughly established as a dependable leader. An idol once made is very difficult to undo. Such individuals can fly in the face of the usages of years, may assail fundamental laws, carrying by assault the very foundation of government, and supported by the theory that what's being done is the will of the people. Furthermore, we cannot get away from the fact that it is the will of the people. But it is like the "desire" of sick men who have been unduly influenced, a sort of duress which they are willing to deny and denounce when at their better selves. History is full of incidents where the people boiled over, wrought against their better judgments, and who, in the calm of after years, admitted their mistakes. The presidential term of six years is ideal, a thing discovered out of our experiences. The executive has come to be more than simply a dispenser of jobs. He needs his time for the increasing dignity and importance of his office rather than building up a machine for his own succession. At it is now the President gets just about eighteen months or two years of comparative quiet, when he must again be off for the "war." In even the Senate measure becomes law, he will not find it necessary to build up his fences. He will not find it necessary to gallop over the country in self-defense or for a campaign of invasion, thus the President and the dignity of the office will be more nearly related—will, in fact, be one.—Exchange. GROWTH OF COUNTRY'S ELECTRIC RAILWAYS. Thirty-one years ago (in 1882) there were only 3,000 miles of street railways in the United States. These railways were operated with horses or mule cars. In 1888 electricity was first used as motive power. In 1889 there were 8,000 miles of street railways in the United States. In 1913 the electric railways in the United States comprise not only street car lines, but interurban lines, elevated lines, underground lines, underwater lines and electrical sections of such important steam railroads as the Pennsylvania, the New York Central and the New York, New Haven & Hartford. Each of these steam railroads is planning large extensions to its existing electrical divisions. The steam railroads entering Chicago will soon begin the work of electrifying their Chicago divisions. The vast development of the highway trolley. [Name] JACOB FURTH. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN and the recent construction of many miles of electric railway, which do not exclusively occupy the highways, have been of immense social and moral influence, not yet fully recognized by the American people. What formerly were rural districts, or remote suburbs of large towns, have been brought into neighborly contact with these towns. Distance has been to a great extent eliminated. This, with the utilization of the telephone, has caused great productivity in many parts of the country where before there was slight productivity. Moreover, the apparatus is bringing the American people closer together, and within a few years will probably greatly decentralize the congested cities, since, when the population can safely, easily and cheaply be carried back and forth between rural or suburban districts and the heart of the cities, it will be sure to follow the electric railway line. The mileage of the electric lines in this country today is 43,000 miles, owned and operated by 1,300 railways, which carry between ten and eleven billions of passengers in a year. They own over 90,000 cars, employ more than 250,000 persons, represent a capital investment of five billion dollars, and their gross annual earnings are $500,000,000.—Exchange. JACOB FURTH The Seattle Republican never doubted for a single minute, but that either the trial judge or the jury would smother the ambitions of the young lawyers seeking to make a hit for themselves at the other fellow's expenses by making a convict of Jacob Furth, in connection with the failure of the La Conner bank. From the very outset this paper had its suspicions that the would-be prosecutor was either making a gallery play for future political reasons or had some ulterior motive in view in causing his arrest, and it transpired in the trial that both a gallery play was being made and an ulterior motive was playing its part; the ulterior motive being the hope of blackmailing, or bluffing, (if that sounds milder) Mr. Furth into paying the losses of the bank. Had Mr. Furth been tried in Skagit county we can not make ourselves believe that a jury of fair-minded men and women would have ever found him guilty and that, too, in spite of the desire to make Mr. Furth come through with the bank shortage. Had the prosecuting attorney honestly believed that a crime had been committed and prosecuted, every one that he thought was implicated in it, whether rich or poor, there would have FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1913. been some excuse for the Furth trial, but the real prosecuting attorney did not seem to think that way and he seems to have only been an interested spectator at the trial, rather than an accuser. That Jacob Furth is a shrewd business man and has amassed a fortune from his shrewdness in doing business no one denies, but every man, woman and child, who have done business with him all the years he has been doing business in Seattle, are willing to testify to the fact that Jacob Furth has never robbed a single one of them, and that being a fact, it is almost preposterous to think he would at the age of three score and ten begin such unscrupulous methods, and that, too, when he would not realize enough from it to pay his hotel bill during the trial. There is not a struggling business man or woman on Puget Sound that has appealed to Jacob Furth in times of financial distress, to whom he gave the marble heart or because they were in such straightened circumstances he exacted the proverbial "pound of flesh" for any aid he might render them. On the other hand, and as said above, all can and will tesify to having been treated kindly and fairly by him, and shown more leniency when it came time to pay back, than the aevrage banker gives. In view of the fact the jury disagreed and stood seven to five for acquittal, it is not believed the case will ever be called again by the prosecutor, and if called, will be promptly dismissed by the trial judge. E. W. Andrews, who was one of the accused Seattle bankers by the Skagit county prosecutor, is all smiles to again be at his desk. Only a few weeks ago The Seattle Republican had occasion to speak of Mr. Andrews as a man among men, and the high regard in which he was held by his fellow citizens after twenty-three years of active business life in this city, and it is glad to be able to say that his recent set-to in the courts has in no wise impaired his good standing or besmirched his high reputation. While he is not the popular enthusiast that you frequently meet about town, yet he is an ideal character. He knows how to attend strictly to his business, to let yours alone, and yet so conduct himself that you and every one else that does business with him entertain the very highest respect for him. The closing of the La Conner bank was an unfortunate mishap, but it is hard to believe that the officers of the Seattle National Bank in any wise contributed to its failure. Mr. R. V. Ankeny and Mr. Bausman are likewise honorable and straight-forward business men of this community and would hardly be guilty of an offense such as they were charged with. [Name] E. W. ANDREWS.

Many think they are called but few can be chosen. Their hunger for place, pelf and dignity, rendered keen by reading that the Government employs 411,322 persons exclusive of enlisted men and officers of the Army and Navy, hosts swarm to the capital and wait many weary weeks until their funds are exhausted and they disconsolately obtain the loan of enough money to take them home, according to the Portland Oregonian. In truth, the President has power to appoint only 10,839 Federal officials, of whom 9,846 must be confirmed by the senate. All the rest are appointed under the civil service law or by the superior officers. The payroll of Presidential appointees, however, is about $30,000,000 a year and includes all the fat plums on the Government tree. First to be appointed are the nine Cabinet members with $12,000 apiece, then thirty-two members of various commissions, ranging from $3,500 to $4,000 each for the Civil Service Commissioners up to $14,000 to $15,000 for the Panama Canal Commissioners. Then come the assistant secretaries, solicitors and heads of bureaus in each department with salaries ranging from $10,000 down to $2,000. There are a number of commissionerships, dealing with boundaries, waterways, fisheries, claims, international arbitration and various subjects, which pay from $4,000 to $8000 each. The most lucrative positions in point of salary are the ten foreign ambassadorships at $17,500 each, but their incumbents are required to spend so much money in order to uphold the dignity of the country on the scale set by other embassies that none but millionaires can afford to accept the posts, and these must be content with glory as compensation. Then comes eight ministers to foreign countries at $12,000 each, and twenty-eight at $10,000 each, says the Oregonian. There follow about sixty-five Consuls-General who draw from $4,500 to $12,000, the highest figure being paid only at London and Paris, and 241 other Consuls at from $2,000 to $8,000 each. The largest number of Government employees is in the Postoffice Department, namely 272,813, but only 7,953 of these are appointed by the President. The four assistants to the Postmaster-General and the Assistant Attorney-General get $5,000 each. Then comes the postmasters of the first three classes with salaries of $5,000 to $8,000 for the first class, $3,000 to $5,000 for the second class and $1,000 to $3,000 for the third class. Next in line comes the Treasury with 736 Presidential appointees, including 122 collectors of customs ranging from $12,000 at New York to a few dollars in fees at decayed ports, sixty-seven internal revenue collectors at $4,500 each, 242 revenue cutter officers at $2,200 to $4,000; 132 health officers at $1,600 to $5,000 and twenty-six mint and assay officers at $2,500 to $5,000. Then comes the State Department with 441 positions, Justice with 383, Interior with 272. There are but few in the other departments—twenty-eight in Commerce and Labor, eleven in Navy, six in War and three in Agriculture. The Department of Justice has many fat offices, but the thirty-four circuit judges at $7,000 each and the ninety-nine district judges at $6,000 each hold office for life, provided they behave better than Archbald did. There are, however, eighty-six district attorneys at $2,000 to $10,000 and as many marshals at $2,000 to $5,000 aside from the Solicitor-General at $10,000 and the assistants to that official and to the Attorney-General at $3,000 to $7,000. The island possessions offer some good opportunities. The Governor of the Philippines receives $20,000, the heads of departments $15,500 each and the other commissioners $7,500 each. The Governors of Hawaii and Porto Rico are paid $7,000 and $8,000 respectively. Guam and the Samoan Islands are governed by naval officers appointed by the President. Had Congress adopted Taft's recommendation that all subordinate offices except heads of departments and bureaus and their immediate assistants be placed under civil service rules, Wilson might have had occasion to give him fervent thanks before the new President had stood siege from the hungry army for a single month. STRANGE BUT TRUE. There were more business failures in 1912 than there has been since 1896 and 1898 and yet the increase in business for the year was greater than in the history of the country. The banks of India have $75,000,000 tied up in the opium drug that at present is a drag on the market and the prospects are favorable of them losing the entire amount. In the past China took all of the THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN If you are an attorney and have to your advantage financially and other Republican before sending your notices. 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, where Friday noon, and being a Friday public the Saturday publication and at the same Saturday publication. THE SEATTLE opium India could produce, but China no longer permits the importation of the drug in the country and India herself is curtailing the use of it. New York City is hoping to have the legislature of that state pass a law that will make it a felony carrying with it a penalty of seven years in the penitentiary for a druggist to sell cocaine only in a limited quantity and never to refill a prescription. The purchaser in whose possession the drug is found contrary to the law will likewise draw a seven-year sentence in the state penitentiary. Under the regulations of the "Unfair Law" in Germany an English physician, who settled in Germany and advertised he could cure rheumatism and did it, was legally banished from the country because he could do something that other physicians did not seem to be able to do, and his success was unfair to the other physicians. In other words, your talent must not be used if it is superior in any way to the other fellow. The Kaiser of Germany is said to have a mania for building statues on vacant lots, while the Kaiserine has an equal mania for building churches. The former takes to idolizing man, whis his better half takes to idolizing God.

The first act of this play, unusual though it is in its writing, at first seems to contain the dear old familiar characters that fall together in the old familiar way, from sheer force of habit. But—and here take notice—they don't There is the country girl and the American railroad surveyor, offering the girl's father a "look in" on the right-of-way and a chance to make a fortune if he would favor his suit. There is the French-Canadian lover of the girl and the French-Canadian voyager, whose sweetheart has been ruined by the villainous railroad man. It would have been easy for these people to have moved across the stage and slipped into the grooves of the commonplace. But, as has been said, they don't. They work out the story with an eye to effect and at the same time with an eye to truth. EMPRESS THEATRE Next week's bill will be as follows: The Romany Opera Company, 12 operatic stars. Nat. Carr & Co., presenting "The End of the World." The Four Philippinos, instrumentalists. Hilda Gylder, late song hits. Wallace Calvin, magical manipulator. Knapp & Cornelia, grotesque jesters. Twilight Pictures. Empress Notes: Next week's Empress offering will feature The Romany Opera Company of ten people, all possessed of remarkable voices. This aggregation has been over the time before, and those who recall their very pleasing offering will not miss seeing and hearing them again. "To the end of the world" with Nat. Carr, will be a pleasure trip that none will miss, for the offering is one of the biggest screams in vaudeville. The act has been a big hit in less competent hands than Nat Car's. With Carr in the titular role, the act has been improved 100 per cent. Nat Carr is the forced to make a speech at almost every performance, so insistent were the audience for more of his dry and subtle humor. The Four Philippines will offer a picturesque and entertaining instrumental act. Bob Knapp and Chris Cornalla, two grotesque jesters and acrobats, will cause many a flurry from the laugh factory during their offering. Hilda Gylder, who will offer a series of syncopated hits, is a prepossessing young woman, with lots of talent. Wallace Galvin, a card manipulator, one of the best in this particular line of work, will pull some good ones during the week he plays the Empress. AT THE ORPHEUM Next week the following will be the program at the Orpheum Theatre: William Rock and Maude Fulton, spectacular songs and dances; favorites in vaudeville on two continents. Jean Bedini and Roy Arthur, the famous jovial jugglers. Kuerro and Carmen, a European duo of violin and harp artists. Three Melvin Brothers, sensational gymnasts. Seattle is their home! Hugh J. Emmett and Mildred Emmett, a novel musical and ventriloquial act. The Jordan Girls, a comely trio of wire walkers. Claude Golden, Australia's latest importation. World's Events in Motion Pictures. Coming: Digby Bell, famous comic opera comedian. ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1913
