If England Will insist on a neutral Mica
ragua canal. the American Senate may yet
be brought 10 grant IL. Such a result would
be very acceptable TO peace lovers all over
the world. But the American lingo really
wants the canal built as a military water
way and not primarily as a pathway OF
commerce. The English, in this case. have
a better idea OF the true function OF such
a canal.

''There is no chance for the poor
man, even in the Electoral College" "
said the Hon. Sam Cosgrove one day
this week, when the Electoral Col
lege favored Hon. Charles Sweeney
as messenger from this state to carry
the electoral vote to Washington
City. How strange that such a re-
mark should fall from the lips of a
man as prominent in political, social
and financial circles Of this great state
as is Mr.. COsgrOve. fit be true that
there is no chance for a poor man,
especially poor man Of Mr.. Cos
groves calibre, then, in our opinion,
this country is rapidly approaching
the demnition bOw-wows. We have
always been of the opinion that the
man with the ability, vim and pluck,
and especially the Caucasian Of this
country, was in line for anything
within the gift Of the people, and
now, in one fell swoop, Mr.. Cosgrove
throws to the winds all of those ia
vored fancies.

During the late campaign in this
state the old fossil on the Times re-
peatedly asserted in his paper that
Francis W. Cushman was an avowed
enemy of Seattle, and that if he was
returned to congress he would do all
IN his power to get the assay office
moved to Tacoma and get all of the
appropriations allotted to the state Of
Washington sent to Tacoma or some
place leading to Tacoma, and that
Seattle would have no ''friend at
court to advocate its needs at the
hands of the federal government.
Late developments do not substan-
tlate the statements made by the
Times, and the enemies Of Mr.. Cush-
man IN this city, for, instead Of fight
ing Seattle and its onward growth,
he has most CALAMITY come to its res
cue, as it was but last week that he
made in the halls of congress a fight
for the Lake Washington canal APP
preparation, and charged the men,
bers Of the committee with being Sec
tional in the government appropria-
ton, lnasmuch as the ship canal at
Seattle had almost been overlooked.
1t seems very apparent that his eff
forts will be successful in getting a
large appropriation for this canal.
Such men as Alden J. Blethen, J. T.
Ronald and few others, who took
the initiative in defaming Mr.. Cush-
man and branding him as a traitor,
should now feel as though they have
done a deserving young man an al
most irreparable injustice. Though
Mr.. Cushman has been elected to
congress, hailing as he does from Ia
coma, he will be as fair to one sec
ton Of this state as to another.
Though King county did not give
him a Republican majority as it did
the Hon. W. L. Jones, nevertheless
he is too broad gagged to let such a
political coincident interfere with his
public duties.

ment existing between Mr.. Ankeny
and his former manager in this coun-
ty George U. Piper, which was
brought about by the demand of the
Ben Grosscup people that Ankeny
must discharge Piper if he desired
to be United States senator. The
friends of Mr.. Piper made herculean
efforts to bring about political har-
mOny between him and Mr.. Ankeny,
and after some considerable CORE
spondence and visitations by King
county politicians they finally sue
ceeded in convincing Mr.. Ankeny
that Mr.. Piper was still the man to
land him in the United States SEN
ate. AS result, Mr.. Pi per was in
vited to Mr. Ankeny's home to spend
the Christmas holidays, which he
did, and ex-State Senator Wooding
and eX-Sheriff Van De Vanter were
also invited over to Walla Walla to
partake Of Mr.. Ankeny's hospitality,
as well as to smooth things over be-
tween Mr.. Piper and Mr.. Ankeny.
Now everything between the two is
as smoothly as a marriage
bell. In Mr.. Ankeny's eyes Mr..
Piper showed his proves as a poll
tician when Bobby Albertson was
elected speaker of the seventh legis-
lature over such prominent politi-
clans as Rosenhaupt, Falknor and
yesterday. If he had ever learned
to look upon Piper as a decaying
politician, the results Of the past
week have changed his mind very
and there is no doubt
now but that George will handle the
sack, which will be furnished by An
keny to corrall the next legislature
with view of electing Ankeny to
the United States senate.

POLITICAL P0T-PIE +:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Politics in the Evergreen state I'M
derwent a most radical change last
Monday in the various state offices, as
well as among the various county Of
fees of the state. For the past four
years the state offices have been held
by Demo-Pops, more commonly
known as fusionists, but at the last
general state election the Republi-
cans won in every particular, save
and except the governOrship, which
was won for the second time by Hon.
John r. Rogers, a fusionist All Of
the state officers were installed into
power last Monday morning, and in
every instance they made a practical
clean sweep of the deputies under the
fusion officials, and Republican dep
uties now occupy those places. Gov.
Rogers made no radical changes in
his department, and perhaps will not,
until after the legislature will
have. adjourned, when he can
do so and not be interfered with by
the legislature. If he makes any APP
pointments while the legislature is
in session such appointments come
before it for ratification, and it is
more than likely that some of his APP
pointments would not be ratified. II
he waits until after the legislature
will have adjourned he can make APP
pointments, and such appointees can
hold office for two years, as it will be
that long before another legislature
convenes, and the governor hopes
the next legislature will be Demo-
cratic. There will doubtless be some
effort made by the legislature to cur
tail the appointive power Of the gov
ernor, and give the major part of it,
at least, to a state board, which will
be created by the legislature, and
perhaps consist of the governor, lieu
tenant governor and state auditor.
If such bill should become law,
and it is more than likely that it
will, there will be a wild scramble
among the Republicans to get posi-
tions in the various state depart
ments which are filled by appoint
ments.

Like a clap Of thunder from clear
sky came the announcement from
Mayor Humes last Friday that JUS
tice of the Peace R. R. George had
been appointed police judge for the
ensuing two years. Judge George is
a meritorious, honorable and upright
gentleman and is deserving of the
honor The Pie-Maker is heartily
glad to see him receive the honor,
but the peculiar thing Of the whole
affair is that Mr.. Humes has thrown
down his old friend, Judge Cam,
who has stood by him in all Of his
hard-fought political battles, and
has endeavored to push the mayor
forward in every way he possibly
could. The appointment of Judge
George meant simply this: Mr.
Humes believed that he had gotten
all the good he could out Of Judge
Cam, and inasmuch as Judge
George was something Of an indie
pendent Republican politician, not
particularly married to any faction,
he believed he would strengthen his
political cards in the city with the
better element of the citizens by APP
pointing him police judge. In other
words, he uses a man as long as there
is drop Of help in him and then he
throws him away. Judge Cam ex
pected no such treatment at the
hands Of the mayor, and it was the
greatest surprise he has ever had
since he has been in public life.
However, he hopes to survive.

senate. The Pie-Maker has further
tried to convince the voters Of the
fact that Mr. Fisk worked on a sal
airy for the past two years, while he
was resident Of King county, and
later developments have proven the
correctness Of the assertion. His
change from King to Mason county
was nothing more or less than his
superior officer" changing him from
one point to another, with a view Of
strengthening his own political
fences. Some two months ago the
Pie-Maker made known the fact that
Mr.. Fisk would, in the future, be a
Mason county citizen instead of a
King county citizen. Now Mr.. Fisk
Is secretary of the senate and is cred
tied to Mason county, he having
taken up his abode in that county
few weeks ago. If Mr.. Fisk had
law practice or a law business that
would make him a living, it seems
most remarkably strange that he
would accept the secretaryship Of the
state senate, which pays him but S.
per day, when it will require more
than that amount for him to live at
the Olympia hotel one day with an
other while he is there. To the Pie
Maker it looks as though his "su-
perio officer" had commanded him to
go to Olympia during the session of
the legislature to hObnob with the
members Of both the legislature and
third house" with view of form
ing political combinations with this
and that community, and with this
and that class Of politicians in order
to strengthen his superior officers
opportunities Of being elected to the
United States senate in 1908. Per-
haps Mr.. Fisk himself will never see
the S. per diem that he gets, but it
will be turned over to his superior
officer, or his superior officer will de-
duct the amount he earns as secre-
tary of the senate from his regular
salary.

If it be true tina THE Hon. Levi
Ankeny has broken, politically
speaking, with Ben Grosscup, then,
for once in his political career, he
has made no grievous political mis-
take. Ben Grosscup is not the man
to be trusted in politics. He him
self desires to succeed, and in order
to succeed he will resort to any po-
litical strategy that is known to the
wiles of the curious politician.
The Wilson followers of this state
have had quite a dose of Ben Gross
cup, and they don't want any more
Of him. If reports be true, the An
keny people have also had a good
solid dose Of Ben Grosscup, and they
want no more Of him, and so also
will W. L. Jones be, after he has a
good dose Of him. If it be true that
Ankeny and Grosscup have broken.
there is no doubt but that GrosscuE
will form a faction of his own in the
state, and it is currently reported
that he will make an effort to bring
Congressman Jones out for the Unit
ed States senate in order to kill of
the influence of Ankeny and Wilson
in Eastern Washington, and to pre-
vent King county from getting a sen
ator, that she may have a friend al
court" as well as the Northern Pa
cific. The Pie-Maker, however, doe.
not believe that Ben Grosscup is al
anxious to break away from Levi An
keny as he appears, for when he vii
have left the Ankeny people he vii
be practically without a following il
the state, and when he is without
political following in this state h
will be without a Northern Pacif
job in this state, for that compan,
is not anxious to have political deat
horses on its hands.

politician, who has been register of

resigned, which is to take effect Feb

Mr.. Davis believed he was a fit sub

cut his cards to that end. How he

the Olympia hotel while the legisla-
ture was in session, trying to i'm
press the various members Of that
body, who were stopping at the no
tel, with the idea that he was one
of Washington's greatest of great
men. He failed to land anything
either the United States senatorshir
or big appointive office at the
hands Of the governor; he soured al
the governor and spoke Of him al
most disgracefully, but he was ap-

Now that the seventh legislature is
an actually and it has settled the
speakership contest, perhaps the
most important thing that will come
before it and settled it in favor Of r.
B. Albertson, of Seattle, it has be-
gun to grind out legislation with a
view of either making better laws or
patching up old laws so that they
will operate better than they have in
the past. The speakership contest
was quite a spirited one, and much
future politics was brought to the
surface in the contest. 1t is very
generally admitted that the Levi An
keny faction has managed to organ
lie the legislature both in the upper
and lower houses, and that is a feath-
er in George U. Piper's cap. Mr..
Rosenhaupt made a gallant fight for
the speakership, but it was early seen
that unless he could make some COM
bination in Western Washington
that he must lose. This he failed to
do for some reason unknown to the
Pie-Maker, hence his failure to land
the choice plum. Mr.. Albertson,
who halls from King county, is an
ardent Humes-Ankeny man, and the
Ankeny people all over the state
worked like beavers for his election.
If the faction commonly known as
the Wilson faction took any interest
whatever in the contest they did so
behind the screens, for they showed
no interest in the matter to the pub
lie. Neither Wilson nor his
friends are interested in this contest,
nor did they take any part whatever
in its settlement" said prominent
gentleman who is closely connected
with the Wilson people, one day this
week.

School Superintendent Meredith, of

the office to which Mr. Hartranft

try to hold it through the influence

he at once applied to Judge Tallman

Meredith to turn over the office to
Hartranft.
