sheriff's office. Secondly, the idea
Of allowing a prisoner who has been
convicted Of penal offenseS to GALL
want about the town in charge Of a
deputy, visiting first one place and
then another, is under no cir
cumstances the proper thing to do;
for there is no telling what might
happen to the deputy nor who would
conspire with the prisoner to do the
deputy harm that he might escape.
Captain Handy, who proved himself
to be model prisoner while in jail,
seems to have been only abiding his
time with view of making well his
escape, and he succeeded most ad-
mirably, and though it has resulted
in placing the deputy sheriff and Mr.
Handy's sister as well as his lady
love behind the bars, yet they seem
to have reasoned among themselves
that it would be easier for them to
escape the penitentiary than for
him.

Gambling has broken loose in this
city in its most violent forms, and
though the gamblers seem to be in a
row among themselves at the pres
ent time, nevertheless gambling is to
be found in wholesale lots in this
city at present. The chief reason
perhaps for so much gambling at the
present time lies in the fact that it
is nearing election time again and
our distinguished mayor" has a
hankering desire to be reelected,
and as he has always depended on
the gambling fraternity to bunch his
political cards for him, he must ca
ter to them in order to hold their in
fluence. If that class Of men 90
back on our ''honored mayor" he
would not have many friends in this
city, yea, he would be like salt that
had lost is SAVIOUR. During his 1900
campaign he commanded the respect
of quite a few Of the leading citi-
zens of this community, but his con
duct Of the municipal affairs since
last election has driven them com
pletely from him, and if he is again
nominated and elected it will be by
the direct aid Of the gamblers and
divekeepers and the saloon brothels
and their attaches and satellites.
Such political following, it would
seem, is rather poor prop on which
any man could build up a national
reputation, and if Mr.. Humes can do
so, he can compliment himself on
being the Onl y man in the United
States that has ever been able to do
so. If Mr.. Humes can longer keep
himself in office on such reputation
as he has, and with such following,
then he will have done more than
any other politician has ever been
able to do in this or any other city in
the United States. How a respect
able man who has a wife and chill
dren can support man who has run
the city as has Mr.. Humes run this
city for the past three years is more
than the Pie-maker is able to ex-
plain, and he does not believe that
any respectable man will support
Mr.. Humes at the coming primary
election. The Pie-maker believes
that every respectable man in the
city of Seattle has got all Of Tom
Humes that he wants, especially as
mayor Of this city, and at the next
opportunity they will rise up in
their might and give him such a set
back as he has never before had.

Scandal number one has been reg
istered against the sheriff's office
under its present management, Ed
ward Cudihee. OF course, Mr.. Cudi-
hee knew nothing Of the affair, and
his confidence was much imposed
upon by the principal actor Of the
escapade, but scandals are scandals,
and it matters not under whose adj
ministration they happen to fall,
they reflect upon the head Of the Of
flee Just the same. To the average
citizen it would appear that first of
all Deputy Whitford was given en-
tirely too much privilege about the
office It matters not how trust
worthy a prisoner is, no deputy
should be allowed to take such pris-
oner out of the county jail without
the sheriff or his under sheriff being
notified of that fact and their con-
sent given Even if Captain Handy
had not have escaped, but returned
with Mr. Whitford right side up
with care, if a call by the court had
been made for Captain Handy on
Saturday Sheriff Cochran could not
have delivered him over to the court
nor could he have told where he was,
and this would have justly caused a
reflection to be thrown upon the

j would appear that the hundred
eyed monster published in this city
has been visited once more by the
gang and its price promptly put up,
for it fatty came out last Saturday
and announced that Tom Humes
could not be defeated for the mayor
atty Of this city next spring. Now,
when this hundred-eyed monster
speaks thusly you can always put it
down that it has gotten its price and
the same is snugly tucked away in
the bank, free from political corro-
sion or disturbances. This journal
istic monster has denounced the
Humes element in the most vile
terms until recently, when it sud
denly experienced political change
Of heart, and has announced that it
is ready to again support the vllest
administration that was ever seen in
the Northwest for a continuance in
the municipal affairs Of Seattle. The
Pie-maker is not prepared to say that
Tom Humes will not be nominated.
He may be, yea, the odds are in his
favor; but the Pie-maker is prepared
to say that, if he is nominated, he
will be defeated at the polls, not by
factienal Republicans, but by the
Christian voters Of this city, who do
not propose to have the city run as
a private resort and a public NUS
ance to which all Of the cut-throats,
thugs, thieves and scoundrels in gen
eral can flock thither and be protect
ed by the officials Of the city. Let
the edict 60 forth at this moment
that Tom Humes will not be elected,
though he may be nominated. How
ever, it is the intention of a large
number 0 fthe Republicans Of this
city to endeavor to prevent his re-
nomination, and unless the Pie
maker is sadly mistaken they will be
successful in their endeavor, the

The school election last Saturday
resulted in a landslide for Charles
L. Denny and Charles f. Patterson,
and in the most crushing defeat
that has ever been administered tc
the opposition. For a while it SEEM
ed as though the citizens in general
did not intend to pay any great at
tention to the election of the school
board, but it got noised abroad that
the Titus gang was working like
Dick MAYORS for the election OF Ii
tus and his running mate, and owing
to some of the campaign work on
the part of DR.. Titus the citizens be-
came thoroughly aroused as to their
sense of duty and went to the regis
tration polls last Friday by the hun
deeds and a sufficient number OF
them registered to bury the Titus
ticket so deep in the mire that it will
take two decades at least to pull it
self together again. Because a man Is
a socialist should not brand him as
an unfit man to act as a member OF
a school board, for if he has family
he has as much at stake as any other
citizen, but when socialists make use
Of such language as DR.. Titus was
charged with using prior to the cleo
ton, then such person is wholly
unfit to have any connection what
ever with any school board in this or
any other civilized country. Every
man has a right to his opinion, but
such opinions should not conflict
with the moral conditions of our
country by branding our married
women as immoralists.

''Does it pay to be a iar?' is a
head line on the editorial page of the
Seattle Times. Much depends, il
would appear, as to the individual
who is the liar as to whether it pays
or not. There is no doubt but thar
it has paid the Times a thousand
per cent. on the dollars it has invest
ed for being a liar, for since its pres
ent owners have had control of the
paper it has lived and fattened by
misrepresentation, falsehoods and
even downright lying When the
Times started out under such a pol
icy it was thought by many of the
best citizens Of this community that
it would fail, so fragrant were its
falsehoods, but contrary to expecta-
tions it has fattened instead of fail
ed. If reports be true it was through
falsehoods that the present owners
got control Of the paper from
Hughes and Davis. 1t was through
misrepresentation and falsehoods
that the Times succeeded in its 1896
campaign, and it was through false
hoods and misrepresentation that
the Times sold thousands of dollars
worth Of newspapers the day Of the
election in 1896 and for a week
thereafter by its doctoring the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches and making
its readers believe that Bryan still
had a hope of gaining the presi-
dency. 1t was through falsehoods,
misrepresentation and downright
lying that the Times made its 1900
campaign, which greatly aided Gov.
Rogers in being elected by its abuse
of Frink, McGraw and John L. Will
son. 1t was through deception and
misrepresentation that the Times
during the late illness of President
Mckinley reported news as prompt
ly as did the Pr. 1t conspired
with |Talk With Cole, whose Of
flee is in the Bailey block and direct
ly opposite the editorial rooms Of the
P.-I., to watch from his window the
PTS bulletins and listen for its
megaphone reports and at once tele-
phone them over to the Times, and
they were used by the Times as their
own private dispatches, when in fact
the Pts news was from twenty to
thirty minutes ahead of that of the
Times. 1t has been by just such
tactics and deception that the Times
has succeeded in hOodwinking the
public and has managed to build up
the paper that it now boasts of. The
reader is therefore left to draw his
own conclusions as to whether or
not it pays any one to be liar

is nominated. No Republican, even
though he is a Tom Humes admirer,
doubts for a minute now that if
Humes and Goodwin were opposing
candidates that Goodwin would win
out by an almost two to one vote
over Humes. The warning factions
in the Democratic party have realiz-
ed that Goodwin is their savior if the
party, can be saved, and to that end
they have concentrated their efforts
upon him, and it looks at this writ
ing as if he will be unanimously
nominated, and it further looks as
though he will be overwhelmingly

serving, if they had broken the law,
Of no more consideration at the
hands Of the officials than the poor
est, meanest and most despicable
young man in this or any other COM

graceful and brutal if three hobos

then it stands to reason that every

to show any stubbornness after he
is taken to the headquarters. That

Once more the mayoralty question
Of this city has been overshadowed

the superior court. This case has

has been previously said in these
columns, both in and out Of the Re
publican party 1t is attracting at
tention in the Republican party
from factional standpoint, and it is
attracting attention out Of the Re
publican party by the desire Of the
Democrats to make political capital
out Of it for the purpose Of further
ing their own political interests in
capturing the municipal offices that

are to be filled next February. The
outcome of the John COnsidine trial
is being watched with much interest
by all concerned. Scores of wit
nesses on both sides have been sub
poenaed and the end of the case is
by no means in sight, though it has
been on trial now during the entire
week. If John Considine is acquit-
ted that will mean that the case
against Tom Considine will be dis
missed, and if John Considine
should be found guilty Of
manslaughter, Tom Considine will
likewise be dismissed; in short, it
is very generally supposed that the
charge against Tom Considine will
never be called in court.

Mr.. Melody Choir, who is some
thing Of pioneer in this city, and
who is well acquainted with a thing
or two in connection with the cty's
affairs, is asking few pertinent
questions of those persons who are
asking and advertising for a library
site for the city Of Seattle. Evil
IDENTIFY, from the tone of Mr.. Choir's
InterrogatlOns, he scents a scandal
afar in the purchasing and locating
Of library site for this city, and,
having the city's best interests at
heart, he proposes to forestall such
thing if possible by putting The
question properly before the public
before 1t is too late If the city
council has authorized any one or
any class Of citizens to purchase u
library site and to erect a building
thereon, the records do not seem to
show the same. Then the question
naturally arises, who is responsible
for all this talk and newspaper ad-
vertising for library site, if the city
council has not authorized any one
to take any steps in that direction?
That Seattle is sadly in need Of a
library there is no question, and that
she must have one at an early date
or forfeit princely gift made to her
for that purpose by Andrew Carne-
gle is also beyond question; but until
the city council has clad some one
with the proper authority to do such
there should be less bluffs made at it..

Irrespective Of what the decision
Of the civil service police board may
be in the Dickinson Van Kuren case,
there is no doubt in the minds of
every citizen in this community,
after having read the testimony
which was produced pro and con,
that those boys were horsewhipped
at the police headquarters the night
that they were detained in jail for
alleged disturbing the peace in the
Grand opera house, and, regardless
Of what may have been the cause for
taking those boys to the police head
quarters, it is to the burning shame
and disgrace Of this civilized COM

whose parents could be reached by

The indications at present show
that the next municipal campaign in
this city will be fought between the
wide-open policy men and the decent
policy men, that is to say, the issue
will be, shall the city be run as a
wide-open town or one under the in
huence of law and order? As far as
the Republican party is concerned it
will be split in twain on that issue,
and it remains for the Democratic
party to take advantage of the con-
dition that will prevail in the Re
publican party and elect some good
man. If they will nominate some
man who will give assurance of run
ming decent town, he will stand a
good show Of being elected, because
of the fact that it seems utterly i'm
possible for the different factions in
the Republican party to ever get to-
gether, owing to the extreme views
each entertain on the moral status of
this city. The followers Of Tom
Humes want gambling vices run
ming in all their vile and vicious
forms. The opposition want to see
the city run in a decent, business
like way, in which the citizens will
have some protection while passing
to and from their homes.
