NEWS NOTES.

A dispatch from Washington City
announces the fact that Captain w.
I. Burwell is to rmeain in charge
Of the Puget Sound naval yard,
which is very gratifying news to
most persons in Seattle who have
had occasion to Transact business
with him. He is said to be the most
affable and businesslike commander
that has ever before been at the Pu-
get Sound naval yard.

Auditor George B. Lamping of

boom for him as well.
Quite a number of persons were
present at the State University last
tuesday to witness the laying Of the
corner stone OF the hall of science
by the college dignitaries. Much
improvement is being done at the
university and the contemplated
erection Of the science hall is but in
keeping with the vast amount of i'm
provements that were mapped out
for the university by the last legis-
lature. Money sufficient to carry
out this proposed improvement was
appropriated by the legislature and
1t Is now being successfully used.
Just now Seattle is again suffering
from an epidemic Of hold-ups such
as t has not suffered from since the
famous clean up last summer, which
caused so much excitement in the
courts while it was under considera-
ton.
Imposing a reasonable license on
the teamstres of the city may be just
fair and equitable, but there seems
to be no reason nor justice in com

pany endeavoring to squeeze out thC

Will the principal actors in the
movement of the Law and Order
League explain to the public why it
IS that no effort is being made by
them to prevent slot machines from
beng run IN the city in open de-
fiance Of the state laws, as well as
to the Law and Order League?
What has caused this lull in the
prosecution of the open violators of
the law? The Republican believes
that the slot machines that are now
beng run in this city should be clos
ed up. They can be closed up if the
law is enforced, and those persons
responsible for the enforcement of
the law should see to it that the law
IS enfroced, or those persons respon-
slble for the making Of such officials
should see to it that they do their
duty or be thrown out of office.
Fully 200 coIored women could

to be made known to the colored
women of the East, who are work
ing for SIS per month and think thew
are doing well?

MANY EUROPEAN FAMINES.

In this land Of plenty one cannot
appreciate the fact that there are
many places in Europe at the pres
ent time that are actually suffering
from famine. It has been but few
months since the United States, in
connection with other governments,
sent ship-loads Of flour and other
necessities Of life to the famine
stricken districts Of India, and that
country is not wholly free from it at
the present time, but it will be news
to most American people to learn
that Russia has many famine strick-
en- districts at present, for which the
government is compelled to appro-
pirate large sums of money for the
relief Of the citizens thereof.
During the present year the Russian
government has appropriated var
ious sums for famine stricken dis
tricts in the empire as follows: Sar-
atoff, $4,000: Tauris, $203,000:
Don Basin, $4,000; Yekaterins-
lawn, $4,000, with a supply Of au-
tumn seeds for the farmers. Emper-
or Nicholas has ordered that the
famine fund of the general govern
ment be increased to $7,OOO,OOO. I
hardly seems possible that there il
any country in the world at the pres
ent time where it is absolutely nee
essary to raise as much money fo-
81 famines as the figures above quoted
? but there is, and it would prove in

SCOTCH PEOPLE CRIMINAL.

Despite the oft asserted exceeding
kindness of heart attributable to the
Scotchman, yet the record shows
that in the United Kingdom there
are more Scottish criminals in pro-
portion to the whole population
than either English or Irish. Such
a statement can hardly be belived,
but when it comes from an official
source it can hardly be denied. Dur
ing the year 1900 there were con-
victed in the courts Of Scotland
1886 Scottish persons for every
100000 In England the ratio was
581, and in Ireland 839. It will
thus be seen that the criminal in
clination Of the Scotch people was
almost as great as that Of England
and Ireland combined, and yet these
people are considered the morst
Christ-like, forbearing race Of people
in all Christendom. While they are
not charged with being public dis
turbers, anarchists or revolutionists.
yet they seem to get there just the
same when it comes to committing
crime.

GOVERNMENT BUSINESS NIT.

There is no denying the fact that
business men prefer to do business
with other business men in prefer
ence to doing business with or for
the gOernment all because there are
so much red tape and self-opinion-
ated public officials to deal with,
and it is no wonder that the ship
yards in the East are refusing to bid
for government contracts. Govern
ment officials should be given to un-
derstand that they are no more nor
less than any other business man,
and they should attend to the gov
ernment's business the same as they
would attend to the business of a
private corporation, and until they
do so private business concerns will
never try to do business with the
government, only when they find it
impossible to do business with any
one else.

UNCLE SANS POPULATION.

The theory that there are more
women than men in this world may
hold good as to general results, but
it does not hold good as to the
United States, as the final casting
up Of the results Of the late census
shows that there are 39,059, ,242
men in this country and only 37,-
244,145 women, or a ratio of 51.2
men to 1873 women. 1t is thus seen
that each man in the United States
can have a wife if he likes and then
there will be a couple Of million to
spare 1t is therefore here suggest
ed that each Of the several states in
this Union pass laws imposing a
heavy license or tax on unmarried
men, and this should be done with
out regard as to what has prompted
them to not marry. One of the
greatest evils of the present age is
the disposition Of the men to live
single rather than to marry and have
to support a family. The man who
has not energy enough to un-
dertake to support family
should be compelled to con-
tribute to the funds of the
general government for the indirect
support of the children of other fam
lilies and for the general mainte-
nance Of our republic.
