SOME RAINBOW CHASING.

Seattle. March a. 1900
To the Editor: Your latest reference to
the Socialists of Seattle appears this morn
ing. as follows:
"rhe Social Democracy did not cut n
very conspicuous figure at the last cleo
to enable IL to hold a meeting Thursday
and elect an executive committee"
The average vote for the general eandi-
dates of the two Socialist tickets in the
late city election was 4s9, emitting vote
for mayor, which fell far below the others
because some timid ones were afraid 10
throw away" their votes for the head
of the ticket
Now. 4s9 Is a little over per cent. of
the total vote cast. That means that one
voter in every twenty in Seattle is such
an avowei Socialist that he Is willing to
throw away his vote for a Socialist
candidate And that, too. the first time
a Socialist ticket has been put forward
In a city campaign.
That is not "a very conspicuous figure"
as you say. And the Social Democracy
had only about one-half Of that But
Social Democrats feel pretty well salts
fed with that inconsplcuous igure for n
first attempt. and after less than week $
campaign. Especially so when they con-
slider that even at that same nconspicuous
figure throughout the United States the
Amalgamated Socialists viii poll 600 900
votes next fail for Eugene V. Dehs.
We do not forget. either. that the So
cialist vote in this country has steadily
grown from 1900 in 1890 to 5000 in 1895.
and 5000 in 1898. and II Seattles incon-
spicuous figure is a fair index to 900 900
In 1900. We suspect that Mr.. Bryan. and
even Mr.. Mckinley, may think this figure
altogether too conspicuous in view OF
what It portendH for 1904

day, and they remember tho history OF

Mr.. Editor the Socialists IN Seattle cut

attempt than the Aboliuouists in 1852. AZ

ideals, and the Christian life should con-
form TO these principles We must have
a true foundation before we can get life
worthy of the name. If Christ edited
daily He would edit IL according to the
principles of His kingdom Christ would
know what people needed. People want
often what they do not need. Christ would
be honest and therefore could not allow
everything published in our dailies as at
present He would bring the masses up
to His level, would do all things for their
sakes. Christianity is not simply theory;
II is also practical. It's principles are acted
upon, to large extent. in the business
world today.
Newspaper proprietors and editors issue
a Sunday paper to satisfy the demands Of
the people, as well as for business rea-
sons. II they all were to agree not TO
do II, and strictly observe the Sabbath
day, they would gain much and the peo-
pie would
Newspaper men would be real henefac-
tors OF humanity were they to comply
with the principles of Christianity. Their
income would be quite much at the end
OF the year. No one can say 1t would not.
AS long as newspaper men are bent on
doing whatever the people want them to
do, and as long as they are influenced by
financial reasons. II can never be done.
1t is more important to DO what is right
than to live to please. Let all the news
papers OF the land be conducted strictly
on Christian principles for one year. II
II can be done for one week why not al
ways7
Newspapers are means Of doing much
good or much harm. People demand all
kinds Of news II must be admitted but
do not the newspapers do all inc their
power to cherish this demand by publish
ing all sorts OF events and inciients7 They
try to please ALL
Untold injury IL done by publishing ev-
cry trash. The editors and managers OF

mitted In our country. The newspaper OF
today Is an Augean stable that needs

on present principles Editors and people
cannot believe It can be done. let all
editors edit as Christ would II this can
not be done, Christianity Is only a theory
and the Sermon on the Mount an illu-
sion. believe that the principles of
Christianity possess enough vitality to
bring even this about some day. At the
beginning of the nineteenth century peo-
pie believed that many reforms now a

The first spadeful If dirt was turned
Saturday on the new underground rap
I'd transit railway system for New York.
It is said that the work will involve the
expenditure Of over sss.oOO.oO0 by that
city. It is one Of the largest public con-
tracts OF modern times and. while an ut
tempt will probably be made to have 1t
performed honestly, there Will inevita-
bly, be more or less leakage, TO the profit
OF many individuals who are identified
with the work. Tammany has never
made any pretenslons TO honesty. as the
word is commonly understood. and the
rake offs" which viii have been allowed
before construction is finally completed
will, no doubt. amount in the aggregate
to a very considerable percentage Of the
total cost Of the undertaking. The means
OF urban communication will be greatly
enlarged by the new transit system and
the people OF New York are likely to pay
for IL all that It is worth.
