The SEATTLE REPUBLICAN
VOL. VITI, NO. 46
POLITICAL POT PIE.
Why should Seattle support an auti
railroad candidate for United. States
senator? Will Seattle be subserving
her best commercial interest by aiding
in the election of a United States
senator that will use his every in
fluence to defeat the railroad com- [
panics in their legitimate enterprises? j
Is it not a fact that the railroad
companies have made Seattle what it;
is? Is it not a fact that Seattle never j
jumped into national and even inter
national greatness until Jim Hill had
built the Great Northern within her
gates? Then, if that be true, again
the question is asked. Why should Se-1
attle have an anti-railroad candidate
for the United States senate? In
times past the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company may have worked
against Seattle's commercial interest.
but that is no longer true, and the
Northern Pacific is as much interested
in the upbuilding of Seattle as is the
Gieat Northern, and both of the roads
are doing all within their power to
make Seattle a great commercial sea
port. While Seattle is exceedingly
anxious for a United States senator,
she should not be so anxious as to
elect a man to the United States sen
ate who would go to Washington City
with the avowed purpose of killing
the hen that laid the golden egg for
Seattle, that is to say. with the pur
pose of doing up the railroad com
panies that now come to this city,
because, forsooth, some of his con
stituents and supporters are opposed
to railroads. If Harold Preston in
tends to be a candidate for United
States senator on an anti-railroad
platform, then he will certainly be no
friend of Seattle, because it is the
railroads and steamship lines that are
making Seattle the greatest commer
cial seaport on the Pacific Coast, and
if you impair the usefulness of those
railroads, then you are deadly op
pused to the upbuilding of Seattle. Let
Mr. Preston examine himself and if
he is to be that kind of a candidate
then let him announce himself and
let Seattle choose between the two,
Preston and poverty or railroads and
prosperity.

It is a mistake that the colored
voters of this city do nut know what
they politically want, but because they
did not want one man for park com
missioner was no reason for the other
one being turned down. No fight was
made against Richard Davis for park
commissioner, and while he may not
have received the endorsement of
certain colored men in town, those
men did not fight his confirmation,
and the colored voters of this city
were not loggerheading over his ap
pointment for park commissioner be
cause they were lent in factions, and
the one faction did not want the oth
er faction to get advantage of the oth
er, but they did not think one of the
men a proper person to represent them
for well known reasons, which was
set out and placed before the coun
cil committee on parks and boule
vards, hence they fought his confirma
tion. The members of that commit
tee were thoroughly convinced that
one of the men was morally unfit to
hold the position and they unanimous
ly agreed to turn him down. Just
why the committee or council should
turn the other man down the Pie
maker is unable to say, but so far as
the colored voters were concerned
they preferred to see both of the men
turned down rather than to see the
one confirmed, not for either personal
or political reasons, but from moral
reasons. The vicious attack made on
the colored candidates by the Daily
Times after it found that it was utter
ly impossible for it to brow-beat the
city council into confirming the edi
tor's valet was quite uncalled for,
and plainly showed the editor of the
Times is by no means the friend of
the colored folk that he has in the
past pretended to be.
The state press is' much exercised
over the report sent out from Wash
ington that Senator Foster had re
commended Hon. Henry L. Wilson.
who is now a minister to Chili, for a
more important position at some of
the larger European courts and some
of them go so far as to intimate that
Senator Foster and ex-Senator Wil
son have at last come around to their
original agreement and in the future
they will work in political harmony
with each other. As to this the Pie
maker has no knowledge one way or
the other, but he does not entertain
the belief in a single instance that
Senator Foster and John L. Wilson
have reached any political agreement
whereby Senator Poster is to aid John
L. Wilson in being elected to the
United States senate next January,
nor that John L. Wilson will aid Sena
tor Foster in being re-elected January
two years from that date. While the
Pie-maker is well aware of the fact
that at the time Addison G. Foster
was elected he made certain pledges
to .John L. Wilson and the same were
signed, sealed and delivered, never
theless Mr. Foster has broken them
and has so flagrantly broken them
that in the opinion of the Pie-maker
Mr. Wilson would rather not be elect
ed to the United States senate next
January than to be assisted by Sena
tor Foster, and yet do not under
stand this to be official, for the Pie
maker has not seen nor heard from
Mr. Wilson for the past two months,
and the ideas here advanced are
speculation, pure and simple.

Seattle and Seattle citizens have
about made up their minds that they
will have one of the nominees of the
next three congressmen that will be
elected from this state, and they have
made up their minds to accomplish
this regardless of what the results
may be as to the United States sena
tor. Seattle has a number of young
men who would make ideal members
of congress, and if she can get that
nomination for some one of those
young men she will do so and take
her chances in capturing the United
States senator a few months later.
Already Bobby Albertson has entered
the journalistic advertisement busi
ness for the purpose of getting that
nomination, and he is supporting him
self in the various weekly papers with
a vengeance trying to convince the
voters of King county that he is one
of the very few men in King county
that can fill the congressional bill as
it should be. all of which may be true,
but if you happen to have heard the
speech made by Bobby Albertson at
the Armory hall the night before the
last municipal election, the Pie-maker
believes that you know Mr. Albertson
has been weighed in a balance and
found wanting.
COUNTRY PRESS' OPINIONS
Jim Hill's Monopoly.
The Union Record of this city labors
under the wrong impression, Jim Hill
has no idea of either trying to get a
monopoly on the aerial transportation
to Seattle, the terrestrial transporta
tion to Seattle, nor likewise the ac
quatic transportation to Seattle, but if
the getting of all these means that he
is to build up Seattle in the same pro
portion as he has done since he got
the Great Northern transportation
route to Seattle then Seattle is per
fectly willing to give him a monopoly
on all of them.
Snoqualmie Power, Nit.
This paper learns from the Cen
tralia Chronicle, the Everett Herald,
the Whatcom Reveille and the Port
land Oregonian that each of those
towns have turned down the Snoqual
mie power proposition to furnish light
and power for those cities. Even Se
attle, the home of this power company,
has refused to give it any rights in the
city, all of which would seem
to indicate that the Snoqualmie Power
Company is not a good thing and won't
get any pushing along by municipal
ities of this section.
Less Royalty Talked.
We quite agree with the Winiock
Pilot in its assertion "some of our
Sunday papers must think that their
readers are exceedingly interested in
what the old world's royalty is doing
from the amount of silly stuff that is
dished up every week for the delecta
tion of the public." Just why the pub
lic should be told all about royalty in
almost every issue of the daily papers
is quite a puzzle. Suppose royalty is
doing this or that thing, in what way,
please, is the average American inter
ested? Prince Henry came to the
rnitt'd States and our citizens played
fool over him and now the Prince of
Wales threatens to come in order that
he can have it done to him as well.
Preachers and Theaters.
The Whatcom Reveille is not alto
gether right in its assertion that the
war on the theatre made by the minis
ters of Everett will result in emptying
their pews because church folk for a
general thing do not believe in theatre
going and the ministers are but voic
ing the sentiment of a majority of
their members in opposing such. The
atre going may not be bad, in fact it
is not, in our opinion, but it is against
the rules of most of the Christian
churches, and if you agree to abide by
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, APRIL 11,1902
As has been previously said in
these columns. Will E. Humphries is
likewise making the fight of his life
to secure this nomination. He has
been a conspicuous figure in politics
in this city for a good many years.
Has twice been elected corporation
counsel and has been a delegate to
pretty nearly every county and state
convention for the past decade or
more. He has campaigned the coun
ty and the state and has made bril
liant speeches wherever he has ap
peared on either the stump or the
rostrum. Unfortunately, however, for
Mr. Humphries he has allied himself
with the Humes faction and perhaps
that may be the cause of his defeat
owing to the fact that the opposite
faction would not feel inclined to
support him because he has made
such a relentless war on them. If
Mr. Humphries can control the Humes
faction in King county he may yet
be able to land right side up with
care, as he would also get some
strength from all of the other fac
tions in the county. Another draw
back to Will E. Humphries lies in the
fact that most people are of the opin
ion that he is a brother to John E.
Humphrey, who is also a candidate for
supreme judge and has been for the
past six years. If Mr. Humphrey was
eliminated from the supreme judge
contest Will Humphries would stand
a much better show- of being nominat
ed for congress.
Judge R. A. Ballinger, who was
once a political power in Jefferson
county, but who subsequently moved
to Seattle and cast his lot with the
same faction as did Will E. Hum
phries, is also a receptive candidate
for the congressional nomination that
is supposed to fall to the lot of King
county. Judge Ballinger is a strong
and scholarly gentleman and would
make a splendid showing in congress,
and would make a splendid showing at
the primaries providing he can over
come the factional opposition to him
which has been quite pronounced in
the past. Judge Ballinger sees the
necessity of King county having a
member in the lower house of con
gress and he is willing to work to
that end whether he or the other fel-

the rules of the churches when you
join it it is hardly the proper thing
to break them even if you should be
of the opinion that it is no harm to
attend the theater which many of
us do so.
Coming West.
If the persons coming from the East
cannot do as well in this state as in
the states and places from whence
they came there would seem to be no
excuse for them coming West, and
when the W Talla Walla Argus reasons
to the contrary, then it is destroying
the motive that prompts thousands of
persons in the East to come West.
They come West with the hope of bet
tering their condition, and unless they
do they will become dissatisfied and
will sooner or later return to the East.
King County Congressman.
Most of the country papers, espe
cially in Western Washington, favor
the idea of King county making a
strike for one of the Congressional
nominations and the idea advanced by
the Sidney Independent to the effect
that the King county politicians would
make a serious blunder if they did not
make every effort to secure a congress
man to the next election seems to be
the concensus of opinions of the coun
try papers, which opinion is quite in
accordance with the opinions of the
leading politicians of King county.
Newspapers Flourishing.
Gray's Harbor county must be on
the boom as the Aberdeen Herald has
announced that in the future it pro
poses to issue semi-weekly, issuing
days being Mondays and Thursdays.
Already Aberdeen has a daily paper
and with a semi-weekly contemporary
that section of the state promises to
be a lively field from a newspaper
standpoint.
Did You Earn It?
If the Labor Journal of Spokane will
stick to the proposition that "no man
shall get what he does not earn," the
editor thereof had better sell out his
property interest in that city and go
into poverty at once, because the pa
latial home that he owns, we have rea
sons to believe, he obtained not by
the sweat of his brow, but by his po
litical pull as a ward politician and
journalist.

More Gambling.
Speaking about the gambling situa
tion in this city, it has been learned
that during the four years and four
months that Humes has been mayor of
Seattle the boss gamblers have paid in
to the city exchequer $184,900, which
sum the boss gamblers declare over
their own signatures is but four per
cent of the earnings of the gamblers.
If this astounding sum is but four
per cent, what on earth must the other
96 per cent be? To run gambling de
vices in Seattle is certainly a profit
able business, and no wonder there is
so much fuss being made over it, and
like wise no wonder that Clancy is
holding out for his twenty per cent
cut, which at the same ratio for the
next two years would mean a net pro
fit to the Clancys of $369,800, and such ''
a sum is worth squabbling over. If
the gamblers have been permitted
through Mr. Humes' influence to fleece
the public out of so large a sum of
money as the above figuies would in
dicate they should be willing to pay
the Humes machine not only a twenty
per cent cut, but they should be will
ing to cut it in two for the benefit of
the Humes machine.
City in the Business.
Some time ago E. L. Blame sug- i
gested that the city go into the gamb
ling business and open a public gamb
ling hall as a means of revenue for j
the city's own financial good. Regard
less of what Mr. Blame had in mind
in making this suggestion, neverthe- j
less it is a splendid idea and the same
is herewith endorsed. If $185,000 is
only a four per cent cut of the en
tire gambling earnings of this city it
would seem to indicate that the gamb
ling business in Seattle fa exceeding
ly profitable and that should the city
go into the gambling business on its
own hook and prevent private gam
bling houses from being run at least
fifty per cent of the earnings of such
houses would be clear profit, and if
the houses would earn a« much in the
next two years as they have in the
past two years, the city would find
itself the possessor of a sufficient
amount of money coming from the
gambling houses to carry on the en
tire government and thereby relieve
the taxpayers of having to pay any i
assessments on their property for the
maintenance of the city government.
If gambling is wrong the city is com- j
mitting as much sin in allowing others j
to conduct it as to conduct it itself
and in as much as it is a paying
institution it is suggested the taxpay
ers get the full benefit of such wrong ;
dealings, and as stated above, this pa- j
per endorses the ideas advanced by
Mr. Blame, that the city of Seattle
open a public gambling house for its
express benefit.
More Social Equality.
Strange things happen in this queer
old world of ours and so strange are
they that one is often at a loss for an
explanation of them. Some time ago
the Associated Press dispatches told
of a Caucasian in North Carolina, who
petitioned to the governor of that state
to change the date on which he was
to be hanged because a man of Afri
can descent would be hanged in the
ime town on the same day and
hanged from the same scaffold, and he,
the Caucasian, objected to such social
equality. Once a white woman in
Natchez, Mississippi, who had com
mitted an awful crime, pleaded with
those who had called for an officer
that if she was to be arrested for
God sake call a white officer, as she
seriously and religiously objected to
such social equality as being arrested
by a nigger. In Atlanta, Georgia, not
long since, the judge of the municipal
court discharged a white woman whom
he had found guiity of petty thieving,
drunkenness and general dissipation,
because she objected to riding in the
"hurry up wagon" with a colored wo
man, who was a like criminal. "Excuse
me," she exclaimed, "from such social
equality." And now comes a super
ior court judge of this county and tears
a mother from her four little children
because the mother had married a
Japanese and the judge perhaps ob
jected to such social equality. All of
these social objections to a weaker
race on the part of the Caucasian are
similar to the man who could see the
pigeon on the barn, but could not see
the barn, which prompts the writer to
repeat as above "that queer things hap
pen in this old world of ours."
Knew Too Much.
If fewer persons were not so wise
there would be fewer accidents re
ported by the daily press in not only
this city but all over the country. Last
Sunday evening a man lost his life be
cause he persisted in trying to handle
a live electric light wire when he
knew no more about electricity than
•; a wooden man. Others had to be
\ ; driven back by the police to prevent
f : them from doing the same thing, and
> that too while one man was lying in
\ front of them a corpse. It too fre
[ quently happens that men rush into
► such things with the view of impress
i ing the bystanders of their great
knowledge and ability to handle dan
gerous things and as a result they
either lose their lives outright or are
maimed for life. A good rule to ob
" serve is to keep your hands, and not
' only your hands, but likewise your
tongue, out of things that you are not
; conversant yith. Electricity is a dan
gerous force and one that not even
those who pretend to be experts with
it knows anything about, and in order
to prevent serious accidents it is a'
good idea to always walk around an I
electric light wire even if it is not!
connected, because you do not know,
as the little boy said, "what a dead
hen might do." A half a dozen or
more persons were seriously injured
last Sunday evening by an electric
light wire when there was no excuse
nor reason for it. The wire was down
1 and if those who discovered it had
kept their hands off it and called for
some one from the company's office
to come and attend to it, no one would
have been injured, but in order to show '
to the bystanders that they had no
fear of even an electric light wire
they wilfrlly rushed in to their death.
Corbett and Easson.
Emboldened by the success of De
tective Sam Corbett being able to con- j
j vince the superior court judge that
■ the civil service commission wrongful
j ly removed him from the detective
force of this city, Walter Easson, who
was removed some months ago for
I horsewhipping a son of a prominent
; citizen of this city, has petitioned the
I court to restore him to duty. If the
superior court of this county takes up
all the removals that the civil service
i board makes it will have a peck of
trouble on its hands. The court may
have justly, from a legal standpoint,
' ordered the reinstatement of Sam
[ Corbett, and it may likewise order
i the reinstatement of Walter Easson.

PASSING EVENTS
Last Thursday in April.
So much has been said along the
line of changing the date of the inau
guration of the president of the United
States from the 4th of March that a
committee appointed by the senate
has agreed to fix the last Thursday
in April as the inauguration day of |
the president of the United States.
Such a date would certainly be more
generally acceptable to all of the I
states of the Union than the present
one because by the last of April the
weather especially in Washington, D.
C, is always pleasant and balmy. The
last Thursday in April is in the midst !
of spring and this is the most pleaes- j
ant season of the year in that sec- i
tion of the country and it is predict
ed that the inauguration will be more j
generally attended if congress fixes
this day for installing the new presi
dent into office.
Age of Senators.
Speaking about the United States
senate a statistician has been doing
some figuring as to the ages of the
respective members and here is the
result of his work: Of the 86 senators,
3, Bailey of Texas, Beveridge of In
diana and Kearns of Utah are under
40 years of age, Bailey being 38, Bev

years of age. There are twelve sen
ators between 40 and 50; 30 between
50 and 60; 26 between 60 and 70; 14
between 70 and 80, and just one, Sen
ator Peottus of Alabama, between 80
and 90.
Senators who have lived more than
70 years of age, nearly all of whom
have the vigor and appearance of
much younger men, are: Allison of

Burned at the Stake.
The burning of human beings at the
stake has become so common in many
of the Southern states that it is no
longer reported by the Associated
Press. It is merely a local affair and
| however horrifying it may be it at
| tracts no attention outside of the com
j munity in which it is committed. A
few days ago one Richard Young, a
Negro, was burned at the stake near
, Savannah, Georgia, and the only evi
dence of his guilt was given out by a
young man, who was on his death bed,
to the effect that Young resembled
the man who murdered both his moth-!
er and himself. On this slim and flim
; sy pretext Young was taken from '
jail, chained to an iron stake and i
burned by a howling mob. Perhaps
I persons who commit such crimes are
; civilized citizens and perhaps they are
■ not and the odds are quite in favor of
them not being, for the acts of bar
barity committed by those people
would put to shame the acts of bar
barity committed by the most savage
heathen to be found in any of the un
discovered islands of the sea.
He Shot to Kill.
Will Reynolds, of Birmingham, Ala
bama, may have been a "bad Negro,"
from the other fellow's standpoint, but
from the standpoint of a true blue
American he was a very brave man.
Becahse he was charged with having
obtained merchandise under false pre
tenses a posse of enraged iitizens
threatened to lynch him, and in order |
to prevent such he sold out as dearly j
as he possibly could. When the posse |
had surrounded the house in which
he had taken refuge he opened fire
upon them from a 45-calibre rifle and
when the smoke of battle had cleared
away Reynolds had been riddled with
bullets, but nine of the members of
the mob were either instantly killed or
fatally wounded by fee unerring aim

of the desperate man, who had decided
to sell out his life as dearly as pos
sible. If there were more such Rey
nolds in the South there would be
| fewer lynchings and burnings at the
stake for trivial offenses. To advo
cate an eye for an eye and a tooth for
I a tooth in this age and generation is
; very distasteful to the good citizens of
; this country, but it seems that that
will be the only way for the black man
to get justice in the South, and it is
therefore in these columns advocated.
Mourned for Him.
There must be quite a demand for
criminal lawyers among the Afro
Americans of Kansas City, Missouri,
as one of the weekly papers published
in that city in their interest mourns
almost without comfort the death of
Attorney B. L. Woodson, who was one
of the most noted criminal lawyers in
that section of the country. It is hard
to lose an able and efficient man
whether he be lawyer, doctor or Indian
chief, but it is suggested that the col
ored folk had better give up those
things that leads them into the
criminal courts, even if the criminal
lawyer does not get as much practice
and make as much money as his talent
would seem to merit. There is no
denying the fact that the colored folk
aro mixed up altogether in too many
criminal escapades for their own good,
and the sooner they give up some of
those habits the better for the pro
gress of the race to which they be
long. There are few spots in the
United States in which there is a
greater aggregation of colored crim
inals than in Kansas City, and this
perhaps accounts for Mr. Woodson's
great tact and talent as a criminal law
year, having been so well developed
during his lifetime, and by being able
to get them out of a good many of
their scrapes probably explains why
they so sorely regret his death.
A Queer motto.
■Justice, 'mercy, truth and liberty,"
is the motto of a weekly paper, which
has just begun publication in Wash
ington, D. C. Such a motto is deserv
ing of having eminated from a saint
instead of a newspaper sinner, and if
that paper sticks to its text you can
rest assured that it will not be pub
lished very many weeks. A more ap
propriate motto would have been "get
there." The newspaper man who will
adopt such a motto and stick to his
text will eventually be crowned with
success. Publish a paper that will
compel all manner of men to read it
and conduct the business office on a
similar principle and you will get your
justice, your mercy and your liberty
and the truth you yourself can to some
extent furnish.
Are Coming West.
North Carolina seems to be a most
excellent field on which the Pacific
Coast can and does draw for colored
help. Rev. G. H. Smith, who is a
preacher in the A. M. E. Zion Church,
has recently completed arrangements
whereby a large colored colony from
North Carolina is to settle in Vallejo,
California. Perhaps 90 per cent of all of
the colored folk in California came
from North Carolina, as in two or three
different occasions in the past large
colonies of colored people emigrated
to the coast from North Carolina.
Many of these not only settled in Cali
fornia, but even drifted to the North
west and are to be found at present
> both in Seattle and Tacoma as well
ias many in Portland, Oregon. Colored
J emigrants from no other Southern
state in great numbers have never left
for the coast and to induce them to do
so seems utterly impossible notwith
standing the fact that they can get
wages in this state both in the cities
and in the country from three to five
times greater than those they get in
the South.
