out saying, and the same is proven
beyond a question Of doubt by the
many brutal assaults and mobs per
petrated upon the Negroes that are
daily reported by the Associated
Press, land, in justice to our Christian
Press, and, injustice to our Christion
civilization, it is high time that some
steps be taken to prevent their con
tinuation. 1t may be that this or
that department Of our government
has no legal rights to interfere in
such matters, but it seems at some
stage of the game some authority
would be justified to step in and pre-
vent the country drifting into mob
ocracy and border outlawry.

If it be true that the great mid
die class" Of citizens Of this country
are already in the clutches of the
money trust, it is also more than true
that the labor trust is struggling to
fasten its fangs about the middle
class, the upper class and likewise
the lower class, even more firmly
than has the money trust While we
are willing to admit that the money
trust is a most dangerous trust so
far as our government is concerned,
yet we firmly believe that the labor
trust is doubly dangerous, and
should it become a fixture in the
workings of our government, it
would not be many years before the
United States government would be
wrecked beyond reparation. 1t is
perhaps true that money gives the
average man all things he desires, es
pecially in the shape of legislation
and influence, but there is always
hope for the people being educated
so as to overcome this obstacle, but
with anarchism the chief cornerstone
Of our government, it could not last
long as a stable institution.

POLITICAL P0T-PIE


There is still an air of mystery
prevailing around the books of ex-
Treasurer Whittlesey, and the Pie.
maker is Of the opinion that before
the investigation is completed some
body is going to wear stripes. There
is no doubt but something is rotten
in Denmark, which will break loose
in a few days, and a sensation that
will lay the Krug sensation com
pletely in the shade will be the re-
suit The bookkeeping system that
prevailed while Mr. Whittlesey was
county treasurer allowed discrepan-
cies to creep in at every point, and
those exporting cannot explain, and
not only can not they explain, but no
one else can do so. If a shortage of
100000 is not found, the Piemaker
will be badly astonished, and still all
of the shortage may not even then
be shown up. As has been previous
ly said in these columns, the Pie
maker does not mistrust that Mr..
Whittlesey himself knew anything
Of the condition of affairs in his Of
flee, but there is no doubt but that
some one did know, and that some
one should be made to account for
the shortage by criminal proceedings
being instituted against him or them.
Hon. w. l.. Jones, better known
as Yakima Jones, was seen on the
streets Of our city one day this week
and was looking the picture of a
Yakima farmer picking peaches. Il
am in perfect health and am enjoy
ing myself as well as the hot wealth
er on the other side will permit me.
| always enjoy trip to the Sound
because | find it much more cool
and pleasant here than at my home,
and then | enjoy the hustle of the
Queen City. Things seem to be
lively here, the strike to the con
trary Notwithstanding, and it makes
me feel good to look mp and down
your streets and find things moving
as they are. No, there is no politics
in the wind just now, in fact the
most Of us are doing all we can to
keep away from politics, yet | would
suggest to the Republicans of this
state, and more especially of King
county, that they to some extent SET
tie their factional differences and
look forward to the next election
with the view Of electing the entire
ticket instead of a part Of it, as they
did last year. Yes, | have seen my
name mentioned in connection with
the senatorial contest, but / am not
a candidate for that position in no
sense Of the word, but at the proper
time | will be a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the lower house Of congress,
only that and nothing more. [ do
not mean 10y this if the next legis-
lature should offer the senatorial
plum to me on a silver ladle that |
would not accept it, for those are
things that human beings do not
very often throw down, but, as said
above, | am in no sense a candidate
for the honor"

In speaking about what action
congress would take in reference to
cutting down the number of repre-
sentatives from the South, Mr.. Jones
remarked: Il see no reason why the
South should feel aggrieved at its
number Of representatives being cut
down in proportion to the number of
actual votes it casts; | see no Unjust
Ice to it, and | do not see why the
Republicans will not vote for the
measure. l certainly am in favor Of
it, and, if it comes before the body
at the next session | will do all that
| can to see that it is passed There
is no reason and justice in a South
ern man having five times the vot-
ing power Of a Northern man, and |
for one am not in favor of it. If
those colored people are unfit to
vote, they are unfit to be counted,
and | shall use my influence and vote
TO have congress see it III that light.
However, l have no idea what steps
congress will take in the matter, as
it has never been an issue in the
house as yet.

The water shortage in Seattle,
Notwithstanding the fact that she
has a water supply sufficient to ac-
commodate city twice the size Of
Greater New York and then some, is
causing quite bit Of comment on
the streets at present. City Engin-
eer Thompson comes in for his
share Of adverse criticism, and it is
quietly limited that he has made a
failure in engineering the entire sys-
tenn and has caused the city to dose
a million dollars worth of work and
improvement. Competent engin-
GERS who have given the system some
study, claim that Mr.. Thompson's
work will all have to be gone over
again from start to finish, which, if
true, is shame and a disgrace. The
Piemaker is inclined to believe that
Mr. Thompson has held the position
Of city engineer entirely too long, not
that he is opposed to him as a man,
but there has been so many COM
plants registered against him from
time to time that he believes that it
is impossible for there to be so much
smoke without some fire, and the
Piemaker does know that there is
absolutely as much water scarcity in
the city now as there was when the
old pumping station was being run
at Lake Washington, and this Mr.
Thompson declared prior to the
opening of the Cedar river system
would not be the case. Cedar river
has an ample supply to afford Seat
tie water to run to waste on every
street, and yet cause no scarcity in
the buildings, and if now there is a
water scarcity in any Of the build
ings or in any portion Of the city it
comes from a faulty system rather
than from a lack Of water, and if
there is a faulty system Mr.. Thomp-
son is wholly responsible for it. This
paper takes no stock in carping crit
les who wish to criticize because they
have nothing else to do, but it does
know that there is not sufficient wa
ter in the city to accommodate its
needs, and somebody is to blame for
it, as there is plenty Of water in Ce-
dar river if it is only gone after
properly.
If lynchings in the South were
confined to persons who committed
Outrages on women, there might be
some excuse for them, but there are
just as many persons lynched for
petit larceny and other trivial Of
lenses as for the more heinous crime
against nature. The lynching rec
ord of the. present year will show
that not over forty per cent. of the
persons lynched in the South COM
mitted no crime that, should they
have been convicted for in the
North, would have warranted more
than a ten years sentence in the
states prison for the same. That
pandemonium, anarchy and chaos
reigns supreme throughout all Of the
Southern states at present goes with

1t is currently reported through
out the city at present that Hon.
John W. Pratt will soon move to the
First Ward with the view of being a
candidate for corporation counsel
next spring, and likewise with the
view of having the First Ward dele
cation to back him in the convention
in this direction. Mr.. Pratt has
been connected with the legal de-
partment Of this city for a number
Of years and he feels that it is time
for him to step up and have absolute
control Of that department Politi-
cally speaking, he has allied himself
to the Humes faction, and if he
moves to the First Ward it will be
with the view of the Humes people
helping him out in the city conven-
ton for the position he is now seek
ing.

The ElkS' carnival, which began
In Tacoma last Wednesday, is attract
ing quite a crowd Of visitors, and
among the crowd there are to be
found large numbers Of politicians
who hope to meet other politicians
from other points in the state with
the view Of strengthening their po-
Htical fences for this and that office
as well as this and that political ia
vor, which they desire to obtain.
More politics will be done in Tacoma
during the present carnival than was
done at the last legislature, and that
is saying a good deal While the
ElkS association is non-political, yet
it has great many members who are
leaders in both of the political par
ties, and they will do a little politics
on the side, while they are having a
good time at the carnival.

Ii reports be true, Jim Wilson,
who is now a resident of Kent, wants
to he the next postmaster of that
thriving little burg. This is only ru-
for and cannot be verified, but there
is no denying the fact that there is
an element in the county with which
Mr.. Wilson trains with that
faction that is opposing the
disappointment Of Mr.. A. A.
Risedorph, and if that element can
succeed in defeating Mr.. A. A. Rise
dorph there is no doubt but what Mr..
Wilson will receive the appointment.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Will
son was chief deputy under sheriff
Van De Vanter and it is also said
that he is now partner in business
with Mr.. Van De Vanter, and the
combine Of which Mr.. Van De Van
ter is at the head, it is claimed,
hopes to make Mr.. Wilson postmas-
ter and thereby kill the political en-
envy in the Risedorphs.

will have a hard time in getting the
nomination for state senator from
the South district again. For the
past three years DIR. Smith has had
smooth political sailing, because il
was generally supposed that he was
backed by the Pacific Coast Com
pany, but having withdrawn from
that company he will find it rather
hard to pull through for another
nomination, and then if it be true
that eX-Sheriff Van De Vanter and
ex-senator Wooding will manage the

will stand for the nomination for

gang in the senate. Both of these
men have enjoyed terms as state SEN

such, and if either one of them
should decide to return, they would
make an interesting fight for both
the nomination and election:

AuSpiciouS Openings of Some
 of the Big Stores
LARGE CROWDS ATTRACTED
Latest Fabrics and Fashions Shown. Window and Interior Decorations Were EIaborate-Will Con.

There have been series of openings at many of the larger Birmingham stores this season, the last of the series being held this week, when every department has been on dress parade. The openings which occurred earlier in the season were for the purpose of displaying the first im- portations received, and while the stores have presented for weeks a most spring like appearance, 1t was not until this week that the spring and summer seasons had the appearance of coming to stay, In all the great stores light fabrics are dis played, and the interior of the stores are draped with diaphonous materials.
 The stores have been thronged, and while the openings were advertised to continue Monday and Tuesday, they prac- tically continued through the week. The storm disaster prevented hundreds of people from visiting the stores, and the openings continued to draw crowds yes terday.

SAMUEL 4, VAUGHAN . TAXES HIS OWN LIFE
Blows Out His Brains With a
 Pistol
OESPONDENCY THE CAUSE
Bids Wife Affectionate Goodbye and Then Ends His Life-He Leaves Three Children, Mother and
 Several Brothers.

Samuel A. Vaughan, a sewing machine agent at Elyton, killed himself at his home at o'clock yesterday morning. From letters left, despondency was the cause of his rash act.
 The deceased had q wife and three children. At 5:3O he went into the room where his wife was sleeping and woke her up, inquired affectionately how she was, she having been i'll tho day before end went back to his room. His wife did not suspect his intentions and went back to sleep. Half an hour later she was awakened by shot and rushed into his room, where she found him lying on the bed with a terrible wound in his | head, and a revolver lying by him. He died a few seconds later. A. B. Perdue, a neighbor, also heard the shot and came over With some diff f1culty he took the weapon from MT Vaughan's hand
 Letters left by the deceased indicate that the deed was carefully premeditated He had been in bad health for several years and was Respondent. His house had lately been levied on and these mat ters preyed on his mind. In an affectionate note to his wife, MT Vaughan declared his intention of killing himself, saying his life had been a fail ure and he believed he would be better off dead than alive. He asked her to think as kindly of him as she could and in referring to their children urged them to be good and affectionate towards their mother
 He left other letters declaring his in tention and asking forgiveness. The de- ceased was 92 years of age, of large build and cheerful disposition.
 Besides his immediate family he leaves a mother in Greenville, S. C., and five brothers, four of whom, Samuel A, Rob- ert, Joseph and R. Alonzo, reside in this district.
 The body was turned over to the War nerSmiey Company for preparation for burial and the funeral arrangements are now being made.

BUTLER COUNTY "JUSTlCE"
Sent Up Without Trial-says That There are Thirty-five Men Doing Time Under Similar Cir.
 cumstances.

Mike Feely, an old Irishman. with hon. esty stamped upon his face. was released from Pratt mines yesterday on a pardon issued by Governor Sanford, after serv- ing three months and fifteen days of a six-months' sentence imposed upon him by the officials of Butler County.
 The old fellow is another victim of the fee-seelSing officials and tells a tale sim liar to that told by the seventeen men who were pardoned some time ago.
 Feely says that he is timer and um- brella repairer by trade. and that he was working in Greenville at the time of his arrest, and had not violated the law. Ac- cording to his statement he was arrest ed by Deputy Sheriff Story of that coun- ty while crossing the railroad tracks about December 20 last, and was thrown in jail, and some days later was informed by the sheriff that he. with a number of other prisoners, would have to go to the mines. He states that he was never given a hearing nor taken before judge, and that ms ppoteSt counted TOT nousht
 The old man was taken to the mines and was set to work firing a boiler, task which was given him on account of his age. Some days ago one of the convict inspectors visited the mines and took his case up with the Governor, who issued the pardon.
 Nicely says that there are about thirty five men serving time in the prison who were sent up from Butler County under similar circumstances, and since he has regained his liberty he will make an eff fort to have them released.
