The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-12-07

Much has been recently said con-
cerning the prospective primary cleo
ton law that will be advocated in
the coming legislature. A great
many Of the politicians Of this
county, as well as great
many business men Of the city,
believe that the new primary
law would be godsend to King
county and save it from being con-
tinually rent asunder by political
factions. This is especially true 50
far as the Republican party is con-
cerned. The new election law
would do away with all conventions
and men would be nominated as
they are now elected. In state:
where this law has been in operation
for number of years it has
given the best of satisfaction. Mos
Ct the Southern states since 1877:
have used this primary law, anc

beneficial results in getting the very
best men of the community nomin

Political combinations are Won
derful things in the political world,
and still more remarkable in the
business world, for they can either
tear down or build up a man in the
twinkling Of an eye, and whether
such man be good or bad. The po-
lltlcal fortunes of an aspiring poll
tlclan may be as bright as the sun
that shines at one hour during the
sitting Of convention, and as dark
and gloomy as the blue imps of
night the next hour, all because
some political combination has been
made which has turned from him
his supporters, and, in many in
stances, his personal friends. The
fact that the delegates to a state con-
vention are elected on some specific
issue and for the express purpose Of
nominating some certain men, does
not always mean that either the is
sue or the men which they were
elected to support will be carried
out. The delegate himself is
weak vassal in a convention of
politicians. 1t is the manipulation,
''the man behind the gum" the
wire puller, the successful combiner
that says who will and who will moi
be the nominees of a partisan con-
yention.

The Pie-maker is of the opinion
that it would be hard to find a worse
political migrate than Senator Addi-
son q. Foster, the junior senator Of
this state. This the Pie-maker says
ddvisedly, because he believes he
knows whereof he speaks when he
SAYS that Senator Foster owes his
election to the United States SEN
ate, both directly and indirectly to
ex-senator John l.. Wilson, who
was defeated for reelection in 1899,
and at which time Senator Foster
was elected. When Senator Wilson
saw that it was impossible for him
to be elected, rather than see his old
political enemy, Levi Ankeny, elect
ed, he sent for Mr.. Foster and told
him, so the story goes, that if he,
Foster, would not disturb the federal
officeholders then appointed, and ii
be would be fair to Mr.. Wilson in
his future appointments, that he,
Wilson, would use his influence to
have his friends vote for him, Eos
ter, for United States senator. 1t is
said that Mr.. Foster almost embrac-
ed Mr.. Wilson for the kindness
he thus showed and offered to do
anything as a reward, even going
so far as to offer to do things for
Senator Wilson which he as a sena-
tor (Foster) could not possibly do.
Ii is also said that Mr. Foster offer
ed to reimburse Mr. Wilson for his
expenses attending that session
while fighting for the reelection,
bur 10 this Mr.. Wilson most decided
w demured, and said whatever he
had lost in his fight for reelection
was lost and he asked no man for re-
endorsement. But he did ask Sena-
tor Poster, so the Pie-maker is III
formed, to look after those men who
lad so warmly supported him, VII
son, for reelection, especially IT,
two men from King county, Hon. E
L. Palmer and DR.. r. H. Eames, +,

As to whether the coming legisla-
Iture will divide this state into con-
gressional districts will depend sole
ly upon whether the present bill be-
fore the United States congress MAX
Ing an apportionment of congress
men from the various states, based
on the twelfth census, is passed be-
fore The legislature of this state adj
ijourns. Our Legislature will adjourn
about the 14th Of March or a few
days after the fifty-sixth congress
will have expired. If the bill has be-
come a Jaw, the legislature will GER
taiLIy divide the state into three
congressional districts, but if not,
then it will not be done until the
Eighth legislature convenes, aud
Washington will be thereby knocked
out Of one congressman for tive
years more. The Pie maker is very
certain that Gov. Rogers would
never convene the legislature after
it had adjourned for the purpose Of
getting an additional congressman,
showing as he does that it would
mean three Republicans instead Of
two going to Washington fioln this
state. 1t is, however, hoped that
congress will pass the bill in ample
time for the legislature of this state
to act upon it and that in 1902
Washington state will elect three
congressman instead of two. In
case this state is divided into three
districts and Seattle and the north
err tier of counties be put in the
SINE district, Seattle will have a
number Of young politicians who
will aspire to be the first Republican
in congress from such district.
Among them might be named Hon.
VIII H. Morris, Hon. VIII Z. Hum
.phreys, at present corporation coun-
sci of this city; Hon. A. W. Frater,
Hon. E. H. Gme, and the political
|omnipresent Humes. Of course,
Whatcom, Jefferson, Skagit and
other counties of the Northwest will
have their respective candidates, and
If any one Of them can succeed in
combining all of the northwest coun-
ties or a majority of them against
King county, they will succeed in
landing the nomination and cleo
ton, but they can never expect to
succeed unless they come to the dis
trict convention united against King
county, which they will not do.

True enough, the delegates carry
cut the wishes Of the manipulators
and vote for the men on whom the
combine has centered and then re
turis to their respective homes feel
ing unusually clever over what they
have done, but it is a fact they with
in themselves have done nothing but
vote as they have been instructed by
the boss or the bosses, as the case
may happen to be. Such being true
OF all political parties, the doing
away with nominating conventions
would be long political step in TIE

The Anoka grand jury failed to in:

redhanded by Mrs. Orton during the
street fair, the excuse given by some
OF the members of the jury being tha,
the expense of the prosecution would
be too great. The Anoka Herald takes
them to task for it and reads them a
hot lecture. Anoka has been the scene
of numerous crimes within the last
two or three years and the county is
gaining an unenviable reputation from
the lack of convictions that followed.
If the people of Anoka desire be listed
as living in community that will not

sion, but we advise all lawabiding
citizens to move out and let the thieves
and murderers have full control. If
Anoka county had informed Mr.. Orton
of its poor and penniless situation it is
quite likely that gentleman would have
paid the transportation and other ex-
penses of getting the prosecuting wit

When you look over the county bal
lot you will see at the bottom the space
left for you to record your vote for
or against the bonds. When you come
to this on election day remember that
the county is now spending for roads
and repairs $4,000 to s4,50O annually
and then is not able to keep the roads
in repair. The sum is spread so thin
that before. one piece of road is in
shape it is necessary to expend money
for@fts repair and under the present
arrangement we will 60 on indefinitely
and never secure decent roads. With
S25, 900 the roads can be built perma-
nently and less than one-half the
,amountswe now spend annually will
keep them in repair and construct the
necessary extensions. The outstand-
ing bonds of the county will ;au sbe
paid before these will come due. At
present the funds are ontinuany over
drawn and the unpaid orders draw six
per cent. interest, while the bonds will
draw only four per cent. or less. 1t
would seem that there was good saw
ing to be made by the taxpayers in
this matter.

A LIVE COAL TRICK.

Teaches Natural Law, Yet liza All
the Appearance Of Magic.
No one would suppose that it is pos
siblc to hold a glowing coal on n piece
of linen or cotton without burning the
cloth, but that such can be done is easy
for any one to prove, and at the same
time the experiment teaches an impor-
tant natural law. Every child knows
that the telephone and telegraph wires
are made Of copper because that metal
Is a good conductor of heat and cleo
tricity, which is only another form Of
heat. If a poker is heated in the fire,
you pick up a cloth to hold the outer
end, although it has not been in the
fire, because experience has taught you
that the heat is connected through the
metal from the fire to the outer end.
This experiment with the flaming
coal is based upon this principle and
the additional one that linen and cot
ton are poor conductors Of heat. Take
q globe Of copper and draw a piece Of
cloth tightly over it so that there is
not a wrinkle at the top. If the linen
or cotton is closely woven, the trick is
all the more certain. Then, holding
the cloth tightly in place, you can safe
ly put a glowing coal or top of the
cloth, and, while it burns fiercely, the
cloth will not even be scorched.
The reason Is that the great conduc-
tivity Of the copper draws the heat Of
the coal before it can burn the cloth.
Do not try this experiment with a
good handkerchief first, for IL the cloth
is not tightly drawn it may burn, but
take some worthless piece Of linen or
muslin, and after you are certain of
your experience you can astonish your
friends who do not know the secret

The collection which Chief Of Police
McCoul secured for young McAdam was
something over S22, the most Of which

After the ticket had been bought, the

money to buy dining car meals, but Chief
McCoul thought the request a little cx-
travagant and sent the lad along with

does believe that the boys dissipation is
the cause OF his troubles. and the proba'

danger. On a certain occasion a meet
ing had been convened, and a large
crowd assembled in a room on the first
floor of q building in a small city in
Ireland.
O'Connell was about to address the
people when a gentleman, pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarscly whispered:
"Libcrator, the floor is giving way!
The beams that shore it up are crack
ing, and we shall fall through in a few
minutcs!".

raising his voice he addressed the as.
sembly:
II find that the room Is too small to
contain the number who desire to come
in, so we must leave it and hold the
meeting outside the building."
At this n few rose and went out, but
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
II will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmcn, therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way, and We must leave
this room Mt once. If there is a panic
and Il rush to the door, VIC shall all be
precipitated into the below, but
If you obey my orders we shall be
saved. Let the 10 mel nearest the door
go quietly out, then the next 10, and SO
on till all have gone shall be the
last to leave"
His instructions were obcyed to the
letter, and he waited, patient and
calm, till all had gone out in safety.
Then he walked quietly across the
sundering, cracking floor, reaching the
door just as the shattered beams gave
way. And thus, by the force Of his
strong will, a terrible accident was
averted.-EXchange.
