HORACE ROSCOB CAYTON. .Editor and Publisher TELEPHONE: BEACON 1910 NEW YEAR Next Tuesday is New Year and may you and each of you meet it with hopeful hearts and cheerful countenances. May you set your stakes high and work to reach the mark. An old folks lore story was to the effect that whatever you did the first twelve days in the year that you would be more or less engaged throughout the entire year and it was almost industrial suicide to show signs of indolence on New Year. Weather witches declared the condition of the wea ther the first twelve days in January would forecast the weather of the entire twelve months. In short New Year and the next eleven days were observed and watched with eagle eyes. "BEWARE OF GREEKS" In a signed statement the American Meat Cutters and Butchers Working Men of the Central Labor Council printed in the Searchlight, which is published ostensibly in the interest of the colored folks of the Northwest, declare "there is no provisions in their constitution or by-laws that pre vents any creed or color or nationality from becoming a member of the organization." They go a step further and say, "any per son or persons, who are employed at any packing house, may call at the office of the union and become a member of the or ganization by complying with the rules and by-laws of the constitution." We are told that even the good God is averse to eleventh hour coonversions and certainly any sane man is. Nothing in either the by-laws or the constitution proventing colored men from becoming a member of the organization and yet nowhere in the United States do you find colored men members of the or ganization. If the doors of the organiza tion swung open as freely to colored men as to white men, certainly some colored men would seek to join and learn a trade that is always profitable. The heartfelt welcome that is being extended to the black man .just now is due, more to the fact that he is taking the strikers' places than the de sire to extend to the black man a helping hand. When the black men broke the back bone of the longshoremen's strike and the union suddenly became very solicitous about his welfare and extended him a welcome in vitation to join the organization, but he did not and he showed his good sense by not doing so. Let the colored man beware of the Greeks bearing gifts, lest they have a dagger up their sleeves and slip'it under his fifth rib, while he is receiving the pres ent. The colored men, not only in Seattle, but in Chicago, are now getting good work SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, SATURDAY, DEC. 29, 1917 in the packing houses, owing to the striking unions and from these positions they have been shut out in the past on account of the unions and this unexpected outburst of love for the black man on the part of organized labor is entirely too sudden for his good. The advice of Cayton's Weekly is that you continue as you are and you will continue to hold good jobs, whereas, if you join the union, you will be out of a job and the union will not give you a square deal when it is again in control, if such a thing ever happens. The year closing has been a harvest for the black man of the Northwest, owing to the striking unions in the various indus tries, and though many strikes of huge di mensions have been pulled off in this sec tion within the past eighteen months, but two of them have been settled without the colored man profiting largely thereby. The street car strike was settled and not a col ored man got a place either before or after and the same was true of the telephone strike. The future in the Northwest looks bright for the colored man and he will en joy his share of the prosperity wave that is hovering over thtis section if he will only watch his P's and Q's and steer clear of organized labor so long as it is domi neered by the race prejudice bunch that is now in control. COMING THEIR WAY Another wave of prosperity is about to alight on Seattle, which is of a far differ ent kind than the previous ones, this one being confined for the most part to the working men. Multiplied thousands of men are wanted in Seattle to carry on the work of construction that has been laid out, and which the general government insists must be done at once, if not sooner, and the working men are getting fabulous wages and are able to lay by quite a sum of money each month in spite of the high cost of living. These good wages the men are getting meaens that they will spend a great deal of it for their personal comforts and other men in business will to an extent profit from this great working man's pros perity wave. Seattle has not as many colored persons in the commercial whirl as she should have, owing to their constitutional timidity to risk their money, either collectively or in dividually, in business enterprises, but there are some that have launched out and they are m line to enjjoy some of the prosperity that the working men are falling heir to. In the strictly commercial world the Al hambra Cash Grocery Company leads and it is said that the concern disposes of up wards of a car load of food stuff each month, and we suspect it handles in the neighborhood of $20,000 per month. This company is under the ownership and man agement of Harry Legg and W. H. Banks Mrs J. C. Coogswell has also launched out into the grocery business and while she is making haste slowly, yet she is in line to catch quite a bit of the trade from the men that are profiting from the working man's prosperity wave now overshadowing the city She is located in a strictly "colored man community" and if there is anything in the so-much-talked-of -race pride," she ought to do exceedingly well the ensuing year. Mrs. M. D. Harvey is laying her plans to blossom out into a full Hedged lunch room and delicatessen and being in an apartment house community there is no reason why she would not have a huge success out of the venture. She is already doing fairly well and the New Year ought to bring her renewed prosperity. Mrs. G. B. Miller is operating a Ladies' Exchange and building up a splendid trade among 1 the women folk in her immediate neighborhood. It strikes us that she has the foundation on which to build up a gi gantic business in the very near future providing she pushes it and she seems to be of that turn of mind. Madam Elizabeth De Neal must be do ing: well or she eonld not continue to oper ate so large an establishment as she is. She is not only doing a splendid counter business, bnt she is teaching the young colored girls of the Northwest the art of handling hair to the best advantage and that too, without regard to the color and complexion of the owner of the hair. In other words, she handles the colored wo man's hair just as successfully as she does the white woman's. Mrs. L. A. Graves and her daughter, Mrs. Zoe Graves Young, are doubtless enjoying a greater amount of the working man's prosperity than the most of us, as they are busy from morning until night. She has a beautiful and well arranged hair dressing establishment in one of the prominent bank buildings of the city and is getting the pat ronage. Samuel H. Stone, the caterer, is certainly prepared to get as much or more of the working man's prosperity wave than any of the colored persons in the commercial pursuits^ He has a well filled store of the articles in his line of work and he gets as much, if not more, of the catering- work, as any other establishment in the eitv. He has an elaborate as well as expensive plant at his place of business and he handles a banquet of a thousand with as much grace and ease as he does one of a hundred. TTe is a past master in his line. The Southern Express Company, under the management of Tra F. Norris. Jr., prob ably does the largest business of any con cern in the city owned by colored persons. The five immense motor trucks of the com pany are busy day in and day out and its gross receipts will doubtless run into the thousands each month. The Chandler Fuel and Express Company is one of the big concerns of its kind of the city, and must have its manager, William Chandler, at his wits end every hour of the day to^ figure ont how to handle the rush of business that has come to his concern. owingl to the prosperity wave, and the past tis nothing to what the immediate future promises to be. Z. L. Woodson, the apartment house kinqr, mnst he one of the happiest men in the Northwest, and simply because this pros perity wave means money almost in ear load lots for him. and if there is any one thinjr in this world that Woodson loves like unto himself it is money in hnnches. Hayden J. Richardson doubtless built bet ter by a great deal than he had planned in buying the Donprlas Apartments. At the time he took it over it was a nice invest ment, but the great prosperity that has come to Seattle has made his investment a mint of srold. He spent a number of years in Alaska trying to strike it rich and then came back to .Seattle to walk ripht into VOL. 2, No. 29

\vh»l he had suffered so many privations Irving to find. There are still many persons with an ex press wagon who are doing what they can by themselves all of whom are doing ex ceedingly well and if they but husband their earnings they will soon he in town with a pocketful! of rooks. Han Myers, the chicken ranch king, is sawing wood and saying nothing, hnt it is snfe to say that no man in and about Se nttle is trotting more of the prosperity wave than ho. Ho has thousands of chickens, which lay thousands of eggs, which he sells to the leading concerns of the city at prices thai make you feel good way down in your toes 1< see him coin the cash. Will Winston some years ago, as an ex periment, wont into the hop; raising busi ness and we are told it is no longer an ex nerimeni with him hnt a high class paying hnsiness. -Ins! now hogs are hogs and Winston says I know it. Tucker is also in the hop; business ,is well as the chicken business on the side and, like the other men, is doing better than he ever dreamed of doing. EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS Wort time prohibition, as advocates Theo dore Roosevelt, is all right, hut if prohi bition is pood for war times it is good for any time. We have our suspicions that the railroad magnets have no fear of Uncle Sam's seiz ure of their property, yea, we have our further suspicions that the magnates rather encouraged it. The county and city officials of Lewis and Chehalifi counties seem to have been hooked up with the bootleggers of that community and crime flourished like a green bay tree. White man's God, almighty dollar. "Every thin;.' 1 is fair in love and war," is an old adage, but if the attroeities charg ed up to the German soldiers, as reported by the Associated Press, be a hundredth pnrt true, then they are the acts of brutes instead of human beings. If you will but read between the lines of the administration scandal that is being nuietly probed by Congress, yon will reach Hie conclusion that somebody close to the throne is tearing off a chunk of money. It certainly does look like there is a nigger in the woodpile. Tf yon did not have a jim dandy Christ mas you were one of the very few unfortu nate ones in the Northwest. The most of us had a piece of money and with the money in your hand your troubles fade away like snow in June. A new year will begin next Tuesday and let each of us begin to make plans for the next Christmas. Logan Billingsley, he of Seattle whiskey bootlegging fume, who long since sought pastures more green, but his work goes steadily on, and one 8. L. Graham of Au burn is charged with not only bootlegging and stealing the booze to bootlegg with, but murdering a watchman that remonstra ted with him for robbing box ears. "Who wrote, "the American man is money-mad," was not far from hitting the nail on the head. T»i paroling Felix Crane and ordering him to leave the state and iZ'o to Oklahoma, Gov. Lister seems to be unloading his bad rub bish on some one else. If Crane has sinned he has suffered and is entitled to the full protection of the state the same as other persons, who have been similarly unfortu nate. Tf Crane is as bad a man as he is pictured to be then it is the duty of the state officials to keep him under partial restraint. Job work in the latest and newest styles turned out in this office. THE RARE OLD, FAIR OLD STATE OF WASHINGTON (Poem read by Mrs. Carrie Virginia Shaw Rice at banquet tendered the Wash ington State Press Association, at Everett, July 27, 1907). I singl the charms of Washington, how fair her shores appear, Returning from an alien land—and old home friends, how dear! Let poets of Yamato praise her dreamy Inland Sea, Fair Puget'fl smiling waters are more beau tiful to me. Oft have I gazed on Fuji San whose sacred heights arise Solemn and awe-inspiring against Ootemba's skies; Gazed on great Fujiyama, so mystical and lone, And wondered in what changing light our own loved mountain shone; For, dearer than the rest, And better than the best Ts this golden region of the Setting Sun; You may travel anywhere And find nothing 1 to compare With the rare old. fair old State of Wash ington. Though we touched at fragrant isles in summer seas, Where the laancourous ilang-ilang perfumed the passing breeze: Though tmeples rose in beauty acrosos the Kwannon plains. And miles of cherry blossoms made pink the country lanes; Though wierdly smiling idols were seen on every hand And poesy and rapture seemed over all the land; Yet. dearer than the rest. And better than the best Ts thtis golden region of the Setting Sun, You may travel anywhere And find nothing to compare. With the rare old. fair old State of Wash ington. POINTED PARAGRAPHS The best policy is a paid up one. Farmers and washerwomen get their liv ing out of the soil. At the moment of birth every man has ally remains there. Some men's heads are so soft that a shadow from a brick wall produces a seri ous impression. Many men boast of their honesty, but the women return most of the borrowed um brellas.

THE GLORY OF THE AMERICAN RE PUBLIC The Science of Government The Hope and Dependance of the Human Race Copyright 1917 By ORLANDO BEL.KNAP POND (All rights reserved) CHAPTER VI. The Tribal Form of Government The form of government then developed and which in a measure supplanted the family form and which was for a long time sustained, was, most likely, what we now call the tribal. It, in fact, was a develop ment of a higher and a stronger form than that of the simple family government. It did not eliminate the family, but consisted of a union of families. The family remained the same and exercised its own individual rights. That is, such rights that it did not necessarily transfer to, and that were not taken by, the tribal head for the greater and better protection of the united families. It held the family in tact, but created a stronger body and a higher position in .the world, and a larger sphere of governmental application. The most powerful and influ ential family head would, without doubt, take this newly created position. Families, also, grew in the course of time by natural increase into tribes. This, of course, occurred in the event that the fam ily remained during a long t>eriod free from incursions either for hostile intentions, or for peaceable settlements, in the undis turbed occupancy of their own possessions. There were certainly two points of ad vantage gained in the progress of man by the development of the family form into that of the tribal government, vet without destroying the family mode of life. The distinction, perhaps more than any other, that marked the difference between the family and the tribal form of govern ment, was first, that while the family right extended only to. and over the possessions actually occupied, the tribal rights em braced the possessions of all the families within certain territorial limits which it established. And second, that it concen trated certain indispensible powers hereto fore possessed and exercised by the family in the tribe. Thus placing the family in a much better situation for the defense of its possessions and the chastisement, of its ene mies. For the family possessions were now the tribal possessions, and the enemy of the family wa now the enemy of the tribe. The tribe however formed became in the pro gress of time, through, marriage and inter marriage, one blood and one people; and were one in language, one in thought, and one in its determined purpose, and in its undertakings. It may be interesting to know that, more especially during" the period of tribal su premacy, there developed and was estab lished the pag-an priesthood which after wards and in course of time became an im portant class in all the ancient pagan na tions. This priesthood was largely respon sible for the introduction of many forms of practice that overwhelmed the world in superstitioous and idolratrous worship. A system of worship that has required many centuries of the active efforts of a more civilized people to check, but which has not yet been entirely eradicated from the human mind, and still exerts a great and profound influence upon the affairs of man kind. But to return to the subject matter: There was developed from, and out of. the risrht of possession by occupancy, the riprht of the ownership of all lands held by the tribe within the limits of its territorial do main. Hence the theory of paramount own ership in the government, which is still ad hered to by mankind. The tribes as a natural consequence in creased in size and in numbers and eventu ally grew into larger and more compact bodies which constituted the most ancient cities and were the petty nations and king doms of the period. The marauding expe ditions already noticed did not cease, but, on the contrary, were carried on upon larger and more important fields of opera tion, and with the same fiendish cruelty and the same ruinous destruction. These na tions and kingdoms were constantly en gaged in invading, and seizing, and ap propriating each other's territory and con tinuously plundering the inhabitants or else defending and repelling therefrom the in vaders.- It was forever turmoil and war fare among these petty nations and king doms of an old world out of which the great kingdoms and empires of antiquity were eventually cerated and established. We find here the origin and source of human thought and deliberations that in volved questions and subjects that have since developed into great and accepted principles which control mankind even now in their relations to each other, to the world, and to the Supreme Being. Prin ciples that were so firmly fixed and estab lished as to dominate mankind in its en tire career. Principles that have produced the systems and methods of activity that now predominate in the world and bind hu manity as closely to the powers that control as they did in the days of the aaneients. They may. in part at least, be recognized under certain classifications as follows: First, That the head of the family is the unit of authority. And that this unit rep resents the form of authority in all estab lished governments. Hence the king holds all the powers and exercises all the au thority of the nation. Second. That the priesthood was versed in supernatural affairs and was the pro mulffator of a definite knowledge of such affairs to men. which all the people includ ing the king and the nobility were bound to heed and to obey. Tt was by these and various other means employed during the previous centuries that the priesthood became permanently es tablished and devoted itself and its follow ers to superstitions beliefs and idolatrous worship. These heathen priests redneed the neonle to a degrading decree of ignorance, and held them in a slavish serfdom to the n-overninnl- classes. The people are still in fluenced by many of these superstitions be liefs and notions: and are still held in a firm grasp as dependent subjects .of snch overlapping dominant powers. And third, that the rights to hold pos session of land by occupancy was reduced to that of ownership by the tribe. And from this risrht has grown the theory of the ownership of land by the government which still continues to be the practice. Tt was largely out of the priesthood re lations of these early days that, notwith standing: much trne knowledge came through them into the world, the concep tions of the false ideas of things produced in the human mind had their being. And their development through the ages that have since elapsed manifest themselves to us of the present day in the constitutional elements of our existence. It is throng-h the false positions held by them and the ownership of land then as sumed that has, during- the long- period of time throng-h which it has come down to us, and the many changes that have taken plane, brong-ht about and developed many of the evils and burdens which the human race has still to endure and fro^ which it still suffers. (To be Continued) CHRISTMAS Nobody knows when Christ was born, of course, and December 25 is simply an arbi trary date. The day has been variously fixed and celebrated on April 20, May 20, March 29, September 29. and quite gener ally on January 6. But Pope Julius in the fourth century had a careful inquiry made into the matter, and this resulted in the fixing of December 25 as the most likely day of the birth. The cock crows for Christmas in England; in Italy the bees sing; in the Netherlands the cattle kneel; in Switzerland the sheep sro in procession; to the Indian the deer kneels; in the German Alps the cattle have the gift of language given them on Christ mas eve; in Austria candles are put in the windows so that the Christ Child may not stumble as lie goes through the village streets on Christmas eve: in Scandinavia all the shoes in the household are put together 00 the table, signifying that all the mem bers are to live in peace and harmony dur ing the coming year; a bath is also taken by every member of the family on the day before Christmas: in Norway a sheaf of wheat is placed on a pole in front of each house for the birds; in Peru every door of every house is open and hospitality abounds to the stranger as well as to the friend. And so in ex^vy land is there a different legend or custom celebrating the Christ's birthday. Santa Clans is buried in Italy —that is, the man from whom we got Santa Clans. ITe was Saint Nicholas—an archbishop of Myra, in Lyeia, who passed away on De cember 6, 342. TTe was supposed to be a holy personage of unusual attributes, with an especial love for children. In "Russia this day is a church day: in France it is the grand fete day of children; in many provinces of Germany it is celebrated as a preliminary to Christmas; in the Nether lands it is the real day for gifts, with De cember 25 as a church day: in South Aus tria it takes the place of our Christmas day. Nicholas was abbreviated to "Klaas" by the Dutch, and from this our "Clans" is easily apparent. At Bari, on the southeast ern coast of Italy, the bones of Saint Nich olas are interred, and on every December 6th thousands of nile-rims visit the tomb and great ceremonies are held. So. when children ask if there is a real Santa Clans, we can at least answer that there was! The Christmas tree's birthplace is Egynt. The tree there used was the palm and the ceremony was in full force long before the days of Antony and Cleopatra. The palm puts forth a fresh shoot every month, and Old-Year parties were given with a palm spray, with twelve shoots, symbolizing the nompletion of another year. The custom passed into Italy, where the fir tree was emnloved for the purposes of celebration; and its pyramidal tips were decorated with humincr candles, in honor of Saturn. This festival, the "Saturnalia was observed at the winter solstice, rano-ing from the seven teenth to the twenty-first of December. Then came the "Sigillaria." days for inter changing presents of figures in Avax. like those on the Christmas tree. and. finally, the "Juvenalia." when men became "boys with boys." matroned turned children once ao-ain. and young and old indulged in the solemn romps with which the festival closed, and which used to mark our own old-fash ioned festivities at Christmastime. Then the Christmas tree passed into Germany, but there still may be seen the pyramids which sometimes are substituted for' the tree. Wo were fined for keeping Christmas once. Yes. in America! In 1659 the pen era! court of Massachusetts enacted that "anybody who is found observing, by ab stinence from labor, feasting 1, or any other way. any snch day as Christmas day shall pay for every snch offense five shillings." This law held and was enforced for 22 years and even when it was finally repeal ed in 1681 the Puritans grew bitter and for years never recognized the day.—Exchange.

POLITICAL POT PIE Emmett 11. Holmes is the first colored person in the state of Washington to hold a position of trust under a state adminis tration, and, strange to say, a Democratic administration is responsible for the politi cal i novation. Cay ton 'i Weekly in "the last gubernator ial campaign took the various Republican administration! to task for their direlietion in giving colored Republicans political recognition and it bitterly fought all gu bernatiorial aspirants, who would not go on record to politically recognize the colored vote "in case of nomination and election, and to that end it vigorously supported Roland 11. Hartley for the gubernatorial nomina tion, but Henry Mcßride won out in the primaries and this paper shed no crockadile tears, when he lost out in the general elec tion, simply because he did nothing for the black man when he was governor and would make no promise of doing anything for him in case of re-election. No official is greater than his party and if he or she expects to be elected to office by his party vote he or she must expect to do his or her bit to build up the party machinery and, in order to win, votes must be had, and the vote cast by a black person swells the whole number of votes just as much as the vote cast by a white person. To hold all factions and classes of voters insoluable all factions and classes of voters must be re warded when the spoils of party are being passed around. In the last gubernatorial campaign the editor hereof called the attention of E. F. Blame, one of Governor Lister's appointees and one of his most trusted political lieu tenants, to the governor's mistake in not recognizing the colored vote and he prom ised and verily did take it up with the governor and was informed by him (the governor), that he had repeatedly advocated such a political move, but the heads of the various departments absolutely rebelled and on the subject he found himself not only standing alone, but at absolute vari ance with his respective appointees. It had not been done and while Cayton's Weekly did not openly support the Demo cratic gubernatorial nominee, yet it had nothing to say for the Republican and was more or less neutral. Gov. Lister succeeded himself and evidently the seeds he had pre viously sown which were nurtured by E. F. Blame, began to sprout, and though they were a long time getting through the crust, yet they finally came through and as a re sult Emmett IT. Holmes is now filling an important state position under Henry Drum, warden of the state penitentiary. In the past Mr. Holmes has not been able to per suade many of the colored voters of the state to follow him into the local Demo cratic camp, but it is suspected he will not be near so lonely in the next state campaign as he has been in the past. It mattergnot how well educated or politically influential a colored man may have been in the past, an appeal to Ms Republican friends for a position on account of past po litical favors, moved said official to get busy at once looking up a janitorship for him and if none are to be had, then he is told "there is nothing doing." The auditor of this state has the naming of nearly one hundred employees and yet when a colored man, who in the past had boon one of his staunehest supporters, ap pealed to him for a position, he could find nothing at aall for him to do. There will come a change some day. If any colored man in the state can and Avill fill a political position with credit to himself and the class of voters with whom ho is racially identified, E. H. Holmes will do so, if it can be done, and it can. He is fearless in his advocacy of a square deal for the black man the same as for the white man, and fighting for this principle, which was denied him by the Republicans of Spokane county, caused him to work for the success of the Democratic nominees. It was in 1896 when Mr. Holmes first broke from his Republican moorings and since that time he has consistently opposed the Republican nominees and he has made some headway. The editor of Cayton's Weekly has no sympathy for the Democratic party, especially that wing of it from the South, but unless the Republicans make greater ef forts in the future to give recognition to the colored voters, he will advocate the colored voters supporting that man or men who will agree to recognize them the same as. they do all other classes of voters, and that to,o whether the nminee is allied with the Republican, Democratic or Damphool party. All of this reminds the writer of a bit of personal political experience, which is as follows: In years past he was the fifth wheel of a strong political organization in this state, which made him the political as sociate of the state's leading and most in fluential politicians. Fortune favored him in the publication of the Seattle Republi can and he neither sought or wanted politi cal preferment, but he was responsible for the selection of members of the supreme court and every other state office, even to the senators and representatives in Con gress, and on the whole he thousrht himself some man among men, and, there were others of a like mind. The sun, however, does not shine in one man's door all the day and he suffered heavy financial re verses, and to such an extent that even the necessities of life were quite a problem for him to solve. Holding an important politi cal position was an old time political friend and with whom he had worked for years building up a political machine, and he was holding the place on account of this ma chine. This public official was asked for a position, and after taking the verbal appli cation under advisement, he very deliber ately replied: "I know of no man in the state that I would favor more readily than yourself, but I have nothing to give you ex cept a position I will not offer you." And our reply was: "If you offer'me that I will spit in your face," to which he re plied: "And I would not have any respect for you if you did not," Despite hundreds of places at his and his friends' disposal a janitor's job was by ineuendo offered, and if it worked all was well; if not, then the other places were all taken. Yes, it's dis couraging, if one will be discouraged, but Horace Roseoe Cayton is made of sterner stuff and will die fighting. Is it humane to brand Felix Crane an "ex-Washington convict" and then drive him out of the state and especially to Ok lahoma, where the authorities of the law will await his coming, almost with drawn guns, and at the slightest provocation shoot him down, on the grounds that he is a dangerous criminal? The laws of this state sent Crane to prison to not only punish him for his sins of commission, but to like wise reform him. He has been paroled for the express purpose of seeing to what ex tent his punishment has reformed him. If he be driven from the state by what means will the paroling officials find that out? Crane, according to the prison records, was a model prisoner and was a trusty during the entire time he was technically confined. Yes, he was even given his commitment papers and he conveyed himself to Walla Walla to report to the pen for service, all of which adds still more to his record as being a model convict. If all this be true, why will not the state of Washington give him an opportunity to make good? Perhaps he has thoroughly reformed and in future will be as much an ideal citizen as he was an ideal prisoner. George Vandeveer, the attorney, who defended Crane, told the court that the evidence on which he was convicted, would have never convicted a white man. Why drive Crane out of the state and allow Charley Wappenstein to not tonly live at home, but to act as a peace officer? Crane's crime was no more hem ious than Wappenstein's. Crane can live down his past a thousand times easier ip Washington than he can in some other state and why not give him a fighting chance. The colored population of Seattle number about 3,000 while the white popula tion number about 350,000 and certainly so few colored persons could not be a menace to the city even if Crane should want to returne to his wallerings. The law would soon apprehend him and return him to prison. This "move on" order issued to Felix Crane reminds us of the orders so often given by the police department of large pities to undesirable persons: "leave town immediately or suffer the consequences." It's a crime asrainst the country to drive a criminal out of one town to go to another, where said criminal is unknown, thus mak ing the other fellow vicitms unawares. If a person is a criminal and the same can be proven, then the thinsr to do is to send said criminal to prison, from the place where his or her last crime was committed. If you say to the criminal, "you are to be deported to some country set aside for criminals" then the "move on" order is alright, but to drive a citizen from town to town on the theory that he or she is an undesirable is not only making a worse criminal of the unfortunate, if such be possible, but you make it possible for said criminal to ply the dark lantern "profesh" on persons and communities that know not the criminal nature of the new comer. Crime should be suppressed, not encouraged and the prac tice of driving criminals out of town is nothing short of encouraging the commis sion of crime. The legislature of the vari ous states should pass a law making it a statutory offense for an officer to order even a criminal out of town simply because a sufficient amount of incriminating evi dence is not at hand to send the criminal to the penitentiary. Edwin J. Brown, he of much dental and Socialistic political fame, announces he has at last found the elixir of life in "Wilson ian Democracy" aand celebrates his new found conversion in genuine Democratic style by branding the colored man as the root of all evil. While a Socialist Dr. Brown was a splendid fellow and was for "all men up,' but he no sooner becomes a Democrat than he is for all men up except a "damn nigger." Repeatedly has the edi tor hereof supported Dr. Brown for offices he has run for, though he seemed to be an uncompromising Socialist, and had no re morse for so doing but as a Democrat we will forget him as his recent published utterances put him in the genuine damphool Democratic corner. Just what federal po sition Edwin J. Brown has up his sleeve to ask President Wilson to pull down for him has not been as yet disclosed but it is cer tain, from his recent denunciation of the colored folks of Seattle, that he is getting himself right to ask for something. And thus do men like Tillman, Vardeman and Dr. Brown sacrifice all their humane spirit for all manner of man to appease their selfish ambitions. Much casting about for a mayorality can didate for Seattle is being: done by some of the wonld-be leading citizens with little or no results save disappointments. An at tempt was made to draft Harold Preston, but he claimed legal exemptions and then John Powell was drafted and he too, plead legal exemptions, which leaves the situation completely in the air. At this writing it looks very much like Gill and Hanson will be the nominees, in which ease Gill will suc ceed himself. If, however. Gill and Han son are the nominees the editor of this sheet like thousands of other voters in the city, would be sorely tempted to refrain from voting at all for a mayor. Ugly as the situation now looms up, if the real men and women of the city would get squarely be hind Claude C. Ramsay he could save the situation, because the nominees then would be Ramsay and Gill and Ramsay would beat him so badly that Gill would not know he "also ran." Griffith might have had some
Page 5
slight chance of coming under the wire ahead of Hanson had not C. J. France an nounced his candidacy, but with Griffith and France in the field, neither has a shadow of a chance. Now, let the men and women who have Seattle at heart, lay aside their differences and throw Ramsay in the fight and then give him a united support and there will be nothing to it. Boston Holman died January 2nd, after a lingering illness. He was one of the very active members of the First A. M. E. church of this city and was more or less public spirited. For a number of years he was employed as door man for the Arctic Club and was highly respected by its vari ous members. CLE ELXTM CATCHES Robert Johnson of Seattle, is visiting with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Julius Johnson. The country about Cle Elum is more or less flooded just now and greater danger threatens the settlers in case the dam at Lake Ketcheles breaks, in which case the whole country would be flooded and unless the settlers moved rapidly many would lose their lives. In case of such trouble, how ever, the big whistle at the mines will give the signal for all to run to the mountains for their lives. Those whose houses are thus far above high water mark are doing all they can to relieve the suffering. Mrs. R. H. Taylor has with her during the high water rush, T. H. Walker, Johnny Mitchel, Robert Marlett and Mrs. H. Thornton, who has her fine Jerseys with her. Mrs. R. H. Taylor is a member of the Red Cross of Cle Elum and is the only col ored woman hereabout that does belong to this organization. Recently she carried a sack of home-knit socks to the sewing room of the Red Cross and her name was put on it and the sack was set out for in spection and it was highl vcomplimented by all. Jack Johnson, he of world pugalistic fame, is said to be a candidate for mayor of Barcelona, Spain. He is now a Spanish subject and is very popular in that city. One day last summer two small boys were playing near the country road. A young lady approached them. "Little boy," said she, "can you tell me if I can get through this gate to the pike?" "Yes'm, I think so. A load of hay went through five minutes ago." Mayor Gill has had another close call and yet he is still right side up with care. Gill is simply a lucky dog and it is better to be born lucky than rich.

THE GLORY OF THE AMERICAN RE PUBLIC The Science of Government The Hope and Dependance of the Human Race Copyright 1917 By ORLANDO BELKNAP POND (All rights reserved) CHAPTER VII. Great Epochs and Great Events There are some great epochs that have taken place in the progress of events in the history of the world since the establishment of the petty kingdoms of antiquity that is marked by the rise and fall of great king doms anad empires. Some of these epochs are already closed and others are still in progress. If we give the matter our serious attention we shall discover two separate lines of progress and development in the known civilized relations of mankind that have followed the race westward and that more particularly concern the Caucasian or white races of man. These epochs and events are comprehend ed as follows: First:—The settlement of Abram, the pro genitor of the Israelites, in the land of Canaan. Second: —The delivery of the Israelites by Moses from the bondage of Egypt, and their establishment in the promised land of Ca naan. Third:—The complete establishment of the Babylonian empire, and the reign of Nebuchadnezzar. Fourth:—The birth, life and death of Jesus Christ and the establishment of Chris tianity in the world. Fifth:—The Reformation under Martin Fn+ner and others. Sixth:—The discovery of the Western Continent, a new world, and the declaration of independence, and the establishment of a new nation, under a new name and title, the United States of America. Seventh:—The French Revolution, and the rise and fall of the Napoleonic dy nasties. The great events that have marked the most important epochs in the world since the dawn of recorded history, are noted as follows: Ist. The establishment of the Hebrews, or Israelites, in the promised land of Canaan. 2nd. The birth, life and death of Jesus Christ, and the establishment of Christian ity in the world. 3rd. The establishment of the American Republic. It may be of interest to know that Abram or Abraham, as he was afterwards known, and Nebuchaddnezzar, were both Chaldeans from one of the provinces of the Babylon ean Empire. That in which Babylon' was situated. Abram was selected by Jehovah to be the head and named Abraham, the father of a race which was to be raised up for a special purpose. And Nebuchaddnezzar, being the head was appointed to represent a great system of world activity which was to endure for a definite specified term; and include king doms and empires of vast extent and great powers and authority which should rise and fall in the progress of tremendous contests of military struggles in which each in turn should become supreme upon the prostrate form of the other. The great purpose and end in view by the creation and appointment of these two separate and distinct systems of activity, were one and the same thing, the prepara tion of the world for the setting up and es tablishing the kingdom in the latter days that is to endnre unto the ages of the ages, devoted to the true worship of Jehovah. One represented the head of a race that was to be raised up for the special purpose of introducing into the world a knowledge of Jehovah as the true God of worship: and by means of this knowledge overthrow the entire system of idolatrous worship. The other represented the head of a system of forces, the purpose of which was to so con duct the affairs of the world that the entire systems then existing of world powers and activities together with idolatrous worship should eventually be utterly destroyed. One was called God's people, because they they were to, and did, represent in a spec ial manner, and act as a medium by which a knowledge of Jehovah's commands and directions would be, and were, made known to all the nations. The other was named Babylon, because Babylon was the great center and head of the systems of idolatrous worship, and was the representative of those powers and systems of activity that degrad ed mankind to a slavish serfdom in support and maintenance of a royal and nobility class among the peoples and nations of the earth. We must not, however, flatter ourselves that these systems have yet been destroyed. They are just as much alive, just as active, and just as effectual in their operation now as then, though in a modified and mixed form. We are now actually living under mixed systems of idolatry and Christianity. By the birth and life of the Christ the design and purpose of the establishment of the Israelites, according to the Gentile be lief and understanding, was enlarged and so extended as to embrace the whole world of human beings. And the true worship was more fully expounded, and more extensively introduced. But the world has accepted it only in part. It has only partially received, understood, and acknowledged Christ's mis sion. It has even made in many respects attempts to improve upon Christ's expo sitions. This is shown by the mixture of Christ ianity and the Babylonian systems that now prevail in the world; and no denomination is exempt. The world is still engaged in idolatrous worship, and is still acting under the Babyl onian systems though under different names and under different forms. But it is still wood and silver and gold, wealth and pov erty. Tt is still royalty, nobility and suf fering humanity.

"Why," I couldn't get out o' aeeeptin' an invitation to spend a couple o' weeks a-atanding outside a gro cer's admirin 1 the jam, when a box fell down at me feet. I was a piekin' of it up to take in to the proper when a circus came by. In the excitement o' the moment I folloml it. "T looks dahn an' sees the box under me arm. 'Willyum', sez I, 'wot are you a-doin' wi' that box? Take it back at once like an 'onest man.' Just then the grocer came around the corner wi' a copper. 'That's 'iin.' soz he. 'That's the man wot stole me soap.' •'Stop.' sez T. 'Do I look like a man wot'd steal soap?' 'Owsomever. I was 'ad up afore the beak. 'William Basher.' sez V. 'your appearance is greatly in your favor, but the circumstantial evidence is too Btrong. Fourteen days'." A traveling man who was a cigarette smoker reached town on an early train. He wanted a smoke, but none of the stores was open. Near the station he saw a newsboy smoking and approached him with: "Say, son. got another cigarette?" "Xo, sir," Raid the boy, "but I've got makings." "All right," the traveling man said. "But I can't roll 'em very well. Will you fix one for me?" The boy did. ''Don't believe I've got a match," said the man, after a search through his pock ets. "The boy handed him a match. "Say, captain," he said, "you ain't got anything but the habit, have you?" Two correspondents wrote to a country editor to know, respectively, "The best way of assisting twins through the teething per iod" and "How to rid an orchard of grass hoppers." The editor answered both questions faith fully, but unfortunately got the initials mixed, so that the fond father of the teeth ing twins was thunderstruck by the follow ing advice: "If you are unfortunate enough to be plagued by these unwelcome little pests, the quickest means of settling them is to* cover them with paris green." While the man who was bothered with grasshoppers was eoually amazed to read: "The best method of treatment is to give them eaech a warm bath twice a day and rub their gums with boneset." Ethel had announced that she would be home to tea, bnt it was nearly 6:30 before she arrived: "Where have yon been, dear?" asked her mother. "Walking-," came the terse reply. Ethel's mother sniffed. "And with whom, may I ask?" "No one." "No one, my dear! Are yon quite sure?" "No one," repeated Ethel as she slowly pulled an endless hatpin from her hat. "Tn that ease," continued her mother, "will you please explain how it is that you have returned with a walking 1 stick instead of an umbrella?" A Durham doctor was much exasperated with the evasive replies a possible recruit for the army was giving him the other day. When it came to the eyesight test the medi cal man lost all patience, and, darting into an adjoining closet, seized the lid of a dust bin. and. holding it up to the light, ex claimed: "Can you tell me what this is?" "Aa cannot reely myke it oot," was the astonishing answer, "but it's either a 2 shillin' piece or haaf a dollar!" A dear old lady had been presented with a parrot from the Consro, and she was show ing it to her old gardener. "You know. Joseph, that this parrot pomes from the Congo, and the Conpro par rots are so intelligent that they are almost human. This bird whistles "Home, Sweet TTome' so beautifully that the tears run down his beak." "Yes. urn." commented Joseph. "I know them parrots from the Conero. I used to have one. and it whistled 'The Villa ore Blacksmith' so beautifully that sparks used to fly from its blooming tail." An old Scotch lady was compelled to carry an ear trumpet with her wherever she went. Upon visiting a small church in Scotland not lonpr apro, she was watched very suspiciously by the sexton, fill she reached her seat. Then, as if he could stand the suspicion no longer, he went over to her. and, shaking a warning finder emphati caliv. he said, "Madam—one toot, and you're out." Two lawyers before a country justice re cently grot into a wrangle. At last one of the disputants, losing control of his temper, exclaimed to his opponent: "Jim "Rogers, yon are the biggest jack ass T ever set eyes npon!" The .instice ponnded the desk and called londly: "Order! Order! You seem to forsret that I am in the room." —Puck. IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OP Washington, for King- County—ln Probate.
