Seattle is now in the throes of a
Lexow committee, like unto the one
in New York some years ago, which
resulted in complete clean-out Of
the official stables Of that city.
Whether the present committee will
be able to establish the fact beyond
a reasonable doubt that crooked
work has been going on in this city
remains to be seen, but according to
the ideas Of many persons who have
given the subject much thought and
consideration, a prima facie case has
already been made out against the
chief of the police and others under
him, and perhaps even others over
him. An investigation is being con-
Quoted behind closed doors, which is
not meeting public approval very
generally. Some how or other the
public wants to hear those investiga-
lions and as the Lexow investigation
was the pioneer along this, line, and
as it was conducted in open court, it
is claimed that this investigation in
this city should pursue a like course.

THE WARD COMPANY.

successfully revived ''Ten Nights in
Bar Room" will appear at the
Third Avenue theater next week n
an entirely new line Of work, the
great Bowery melodrama, entitled
Through by Daylight" furnishing
the attraction. This great piece
from the pen Of the well-known
writer, J. ]. McClusky, will certainly
draw crowded houses in this popular
play house.
The story Of the play is the old
story of the girl Of high birth being
forced into a life Of hard work
through circumstances not under
her control. The villain, Of course,
appears and does his utmost to drag
the girl down into life of shame.

lad, portrayed by Mr. Ward himself.

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-05-31

Some Of our local contemporaries
have seen fit to say that the Clayton
case was no more or less than a po-
litical mix-up between parties and
factions, which, if true, would seem
to indicate that the faction common
ly called the EEHumes faction" has
come out Of it with its gar
ments much besmirched. The
Republican does not believe that
the affair is so much of a
political mix-up as a moral mix-up,
and so far as it is personally con-
cerned, whatever it has done along
this line has been done from a moral
standpoint and with a view of ut
least strengthening what is common
ly known as the church element in
this city, that a municipal admins
tration may be put in power next
spring that will run this city on a
plan of decency, and not run it as a
resort to which thugs, holdups and
surething men of all kinds. classes
and descriptions and from near and
far are permitted to congregate and
ply their nefarious trades under po-
lice protection, for when crime is be-
ing committed and is not suppressed.
regardless of the kind Of crime
it is, those in authority are
responsible for the committing of
such crime, and especially when they
make no efforts to suppress it. This
is being done in this city, and has
been done for the past three years or
more, and apparently it will be done
until the present administration has
been driven from power at the next
general eleetion-if the public is
kept posted upon the ways the city
is being mismanaged, and this The
Republican proposes to do from time
to time, God being its helper.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-05-31

The mere fact that the editor OF
this paper is Of different national
ity than the entire editorial frater-
nty of the state does not remove the
fact that some one Of the many may
incur the displeasure Of some reader
OF their paper, who will cause the
county attorney to file an informa-
ton against him in the superior
court charging him with libel.
Ones color often saves him in this
country from many inconvenience
that he otherwise would not have
had we're he of a different color,
but if this libelous proceeding which
is now before the courts of King
county is sustained and a precedent
is set, then no newspaper man
in the state will be exempt from
such precedent, even though he may
be white instead Of black. It is per-
haps the first instance in the history
OF the state Wnere an editor has been
arrested for criminal libel under the
same circumstances as was the editer
of this paper, and its outcome must
have been anxiously watched by
every newspaper man in the state.
The editor of this paper does not
believe that any other newspaper
man will be arrested on the same
charge, neither now or in the future,
for if they would the public press
would be so completely muzzled that
no newspaper would dare to say
one word toward criticising a man in
public office, even though it knew
that such public official was as
corrupt as the blue hinges of hades.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-05-31

It is here repeated that it is most
remarkable that one man should be
arrested for innuendo allegations, as
says the county attorney, when
wholesale direct charges against the
same man are being made all over
the city every day and no arrests
made. The complaining witness
against the editor hereof sat
and listened to a man pub
licly tell in court that he
was a bride taker and shared in the
profits Of public plunderers Of the
most damnable type, and yet he has
not made one single move toward
having that man arrested for either
libel or perjury. If Considine was
not telling the truth, he was not only
guilty of libel, but he was also guilty
of perjury, and conviction Of the for
mer might mean a heavy fine and
Jail sentence, while a conviction for
the latter would mean a long term
in the state penitentiary If the
hands of the chief Of police were as
clean as he would have you believe,
when he caused the editor Of this
paper to be arrested and put on trial
for libel by innuendo, then it stands
to reason he would take advantage
of this open opportunity and have
this man, an arch enemy, arrested on
both charge Of libel and perjury;

POLITICAL POT-PIE.

While The Republican does not
intend to bore its readers with
desultory articles about the re-
cent libel suit tried in the superior
court against the editor hereof, yet
few facts which have never been
brought out as yet and which should
be done so, will be attempted in this
article The editor of The Republic
can does not intend to either plead
for pity or sympathy one way Of the
other; but, however, does intend to
ask that the public deal as fairly
with him as with the other fellow or
fellows. He does not wish to see fish
made Of one and flesh Of the other.
Treat all alike, and the final results
will have no terrors for him regard
less Of what they may be.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1901-05-31

If what The Republican said con-
corning Chief Meredith be libelous,
then, regardless Of ones feeling ia
the mater, it is utterly impossible to
run newspaper in the state Of
Washington without libeling some
body every week. If what The Re
publican has said concerning Chief
Meredith be libelous, then every
newspaper in the state of Washing
ton has libelled some one of its read
ers and its editor is subject to arrest
and punishment according to law At
any moment. In fact, it is impos-
sible to run a newspaper in this
state without infringing upon the
legal rights Of some one, and that,
too, regardless of the fact that the
some one may be public official,
and should be reprimanded either by
a newspaper or some person repre-
senting the public by word Of mouth.
If what this paper said concerning
Chief Meredith be libelous, then the
Star, The Times and the Post-Intel-
igencer have all said enough about
the chief and the police department
IN general to cause the arrest Of their
editors, and, if convicted, their in
generation the remainder Of their
natural lifetime. Whether under the
broad Interpretation Of the statute
or under the technical terms of the
law, the editor Of this paper has Ii
belled any one, it is yet for jury Of
twelve men, good and true, to de-
eide, but the law has been laid down
by the trial judge, and, if it be as he
has laid it down, then, as said above,
there is no further use for any one
attempting to run a newspaper in
the interest of the general public in
the state of Washington.

POLITICAL POT-PIE

THIS and has not even animated that
he intends to do it, but has simply
countered that move made by Mr..
Considine by closing up the places
Of vice run by Considine and his
friends, which would seem to say, if
you persist in telling news out Of
school [ will get even with you for
50 doing under the cover Of nv Of
fee.
One Of the striking characteristics
Of the American people is fairness
fairness to the very core-and when
the general public has been properly
informed on this embroglio. there is
no doubt but that it will render a
fair and impartial verdict upon il.
1t viii demand Of Chief Meredith to
fully explain why he takes it to
heart to such an extent when one
man calls the public's attention to
the condition of affairs in which he
has the oversight and yet smile and
take it good-naturedly when another
man not only calls the public's atten-
ton to the awful municipal condi-
ton Of affairs, but actually charges
HIM with grave crime. Of course
the former in this instance was of a
different nationality to Mr.. Mere
dith, while the latter was of the same
nationality, and that may to some
extent serve as an elixir for his
bleeding and injured heart, but this
is no explanation to go before the
public with. If he is guilty of those
things, it makes it none the worse
if he is told about it by one man any
more SO than by another, the nation
atty of the man to the contrary not
outstanding. For this reason The
Seattle Republican believes with all
OF its heart that the people of this
community will carefully consider
the points herein set forth and Judge
all men, regardless Of their national
lty, as the facts would warrant. This
IS the defendants case; render your
verdict as you see fit.
