Rathtubs Are Necessities.

The District Commissioners, upon the
recommendation of the inspector Of plumb
ing, Mr.. Charles B. Ball, have denied the
request of Mr.. James F. Barbour that In
the erection of four small brick houses in
square 260 that he be relieved from the
necessity of putting in bathtubs, as re-
quired by the building regulations of the
District Mr.. Barbour stated that the
houses are calculated for a cheap class
Of tenants, who would probably not appre-
ciate nor use bathtubs.
The regulation requiring bathtubs, says
Mr.. Ball, was carefully considered by the
plumbing board. and it is believed to be
fully justified by the conditions under
which such brick dwellings are constructed
in Washington.
'Perhaps," he stated, lone of the points
which should be brought to the minds of
the Commissioners In connection with this
case is the fact that our city is absolutely
without public bath houses, which have
been found necessary in most large cities
An additional argument for the require
ment suggested is the relatively low water
rate, making the expense for the use of
such a fixture very much less than I'm many
cities.

Paid the Price.

There came to this Office few days
ago a letter which contained a check
for $500 for a years subscription to
The Seattle Republican. There is
nothing remarkable in this, as such
things frequently come to this Office,
but the name attached to this check
than the head of one of Alabama's
most noted normal schools for colored
students 1t so seldom happens that
colored men ever subscribe and pay
for a newspaper owned and edited by
a colored man, that it was a most
pleasant surprise to the management
hereof. For some reason cOlored men
of the calibre mentioned above feel
that it is an honor for the cOlored
editor of a newspaper to send his
paper to him, and if he is asked for
| the price of subscription he takes
| it almost as an insult. and yet they
are the ones that holler the loudest
and longest about supporting race en-
terprises. Race enterprises should not
be supported any more than anti-race
enterprises if such enterprises are not
meritorious If the colOred mans pa
per is not edited and published in a
sensible and attractive way, no one
should subscribe for it simply because
| it is issued by a colOred man, but ii
it is up to the standard of its class OF
publication, then it is the duty Of the
! leading colOred men to set the exam
pie in subscribing for the same. If
however, some one in the distant part
of the country sees merit in pape!
published in another part and wishes
the same to come to his address, he
should pay for it just the same as be
does the paper published by the eau
casian. 1t is a rather peculiar fact
that the colored subscriber is always
delinquent, and when you call upor
him for his subscription, generally hf
refers you to some politician to ge
your money from him, or ask some
politician to pay for his paper, show

Chinese Exclusion.

A new measure has been introduced
in congress by Representative Kahn
from that district in San Francisco in
which there are 100000 Chinese set
tiers, which has for it's object the
continuation of the Chinese exclusion
act Since the Geary act was first
passed conditions have radically
changed between the Chinese govern
ment and the United States, and this
country must either moderate it's Chi
nese exclusion laws or it must expect
to be shut out from the Oriental trade
almost completely. The Chinese of
ficials do not propose to be shut out
from this country as they have been
in the past and yet continue to buy
their modern improvements in the
United States as they are doing at the
present time. Just what disposition
should be made of this bill is the per-
picking question that congress will
have to wrestle with before the Geary
act expires. California does not want
the Chinese nor does any of the Pa
cific coast states, but all of them want
the Chinese trade, and just how to get
the Chinese trade and yet not get the
Chinese citizen is the question. The
Eastern sections of this country have
not as yet been called upon to handle
the Chinese problem, and their repre-
sentatives are inclined to favor the
discontinuance to a large extent of
the exclusion of Cinnamon from this
country The matter will be fought
with vengeance by the Pacific coast
representatives but it will be cOnsid-
cred from a business standpoint by
the Atlantic coast representatives..

BROTHER
IN BLACK
Under Critical Eye of OBJ
serving Men.

Some of the leading colored men of
this country are not pleased with the
presidents message because it did not
call congress attention to the fact
that the colored men of the South are
being disfranchised, lynched and muir
dered in wholesale lots, and suggest
some remedy for the evil. The Repub-
lican is of the opinion that President
Roosevelt took a wise course in not
mentioning the matter, not because it
should not be mentioned, or not be
cause it is not worthy of mention, but
simply because calling congress at
tentiOn to the fact would have done
no good whatever Those are state
measures and must be regulated by
the respective states of this Union,
and for congress to try to enact laws
to punish the guilty miscreants would
be worse than foolish. Since Theo-
dore Roosevelt has been president of
the United States he has thoroughly
demonstrated to the world that a man
is a man with him, without regard to
his color, and he has done more to
advance the Negro so that he would
be on an equal footing with other
men than any other man who has
been president of the United States
since the death of the immortal Lin
coin, and for him to indulge in useless
prattle in behalf of the colored man
of this country would do him more
harm than good. The presidents feel
ing as to what station in life the meri-
torious man of color shall occupy was
shown in his entertaining Booker T.
Washington, and in his appointment
of Judges Hewlett and Terrill to life
positions as police judges of Wash
ington City, all of which is far in adj
vance of any step yet taken by any
other president of this country The
man to admire is the man who will
act instead of talk. The man who
promises to do and never does is like
unto the man who smothers one with
flattery but withholds the beneficial
things from him. If the president
will continue to remember the Negro
of this country as he has during his
short occupancy of the White House,
The Republican does not care if he
never mentions him in his messages
to congress.

think that the colored man should sub
scribe for any paper simply because
it is what it is generally known as,
"a colored paper but if he conde
scends to subscribe for it, he should
be man enough to pay for it, and when
his subscription expires he should
either renew it or inform the manage
ment that his paper is no longer
wanted. That is business, and until
colored men learn to do business as
other men, they will find they will
have an uphill business at everything
they undertake.
From a San Francisco paper it is
learned that colored stevedores are
being successfully used in that port
at present. They we're put on more
as an experiment than an actuality,
but they are proving to be so success
ful that all are being employed that
apply for work.

Plain and Sensible

he presidents message was volu-
minous document and dwelt very ex-
phaustiyely with the various measures
that congress is to consider during
h resent sitting 1t was truly dem
We" in it's makeup, and showed
kt Theodore Roosecelt was not only
Rough Rider in war, but a smooth
fTfter in craftsmanship. The presi-
ent in his message rose above parti-
epship and sectional feelings and in
structed congress to pass laws and
measures for the relief of the United
Estates without regard to sections or
kalities. 1t was a document that
BASED alike the Northern man, the
estern man, the Eastern man and
Southern man, and it alike pleased
the rich and the poor. If congress
will only do as the president has sug-
gested, it is very generally believed
that new era will dawn upon the
n United States, and it will accomplish
more within the next decade than it
has done in the past two or three
decades, which is saying a good deal.
The president favors the immediate
suppression of anarchism and the
building of the Nicaragua canal, or
some other canal across the isthmus
of Panama, and he likewise believes
that the United States should own
that canal in fee simple. His advo-
cacy of a Pacific cable, to establish a
line of communication between this
country and it's Pacific insular posses
sions. is a measure that will meet gen
earl approval. not only in the West,
but all over the country. His recon-
mendation as to the arid lands of the
West is another popular measure, and
Iii is hoped that congress will see it in
the same light as he does. To emu
merate all of the good things which
the message contained would require
the reproduction of the entire mes
sage, which this paper is unable to
do for lack of space, but there is no
doubt but that all ChristendOm feels
greatly relieved since President
Roosevelt's first message has been
given to the world.

Congress Grinding.

The Fifty-seventh congress has
been-fn session now for nearly two
weeks, and it has already taken time
by the forelock and mapped out a
most commendable lot of work to be
accomplished before it adjOurns next
summer. The chief thing at the open
ing of congress in the United States
is the presidents message, which is
read before both houses the following
Tuesday after congress assemblies on
Monday. Unusual interest was taken
in the assembling of the Fifty-seventh
congress, from the fact that a new
president had been installed in the
White House since the adjournment
of the Fifty-sixth. Theodore Roose-
welt, who had been promoted from
vice president to president, was to
sound the keynote to his administra-
ton at the opening of this congress,
and politicians, fnanciers, statesmen
and al classes of citizens were in
tensely interested as to what that
policy would be- Apparently, with the
view of giving the president a clean
sweep at everything, the halls of con-
gress were overhauIed, renovated and
completely rearranged, which gave it
a most imposing appearance at the
opening of the session. The most of the
members-elect were present for the
opening, and those that were not pres
ent on the opening day, forsthe most
part were in their seats when the
message was read the following day
The present congress is overwhelm-
ingly Republican, as was the previous
congress, and there being many i'm
portant measures for passage, which
were advocated by the Republicans on
the stump last fall, they will endeavor
to make quick work of the most es-
sential bills and pass them as soon as
they can be legally reached.

A writer from Hawaii to the New
York Age says that island is as free
from color prejudice as the heavens
itself. All races of people who are
on the island mingle freely together
and do business and the question of
color is never raised, notwithstanding
the fact that the island is at present
domineered by white Americans from
the United States. The population of
the island at present is perhaps made
up of the most conglomerated human
mix-up than any of the insular pos
sessions of the United States. The
natives, which are mixture of for
eign whites and aborigines, predom-
mate Then come the Chinese and
Japanese, the American white man,
the American black man and every
other. tongue and nationality on the
face of the earth, it is said, can be

ality therefore to draw the color line
would be an extreme absurdity, and IT

cnnnressionaI Reduction.


Speaking about some of the work
that has been mapped out for the
present congress to accomplish re
minds the writer that a bill has al
ready been introduced in congress
looking forward to the reduction of
the number of representatives to con-
gress from the South. No measure
should be more warmly supported by
the Republicans and Northern men
in general than this, and The Re-
publican truly hopes that it will be
passed by a unanimous Republican
vote in both houses of congress. Con
gressman Crumpacker of Indiana
thinks that it is not fair for the South
ern states to get representatives fol
men who are not allowed to vote, and
who are not allowed to vote for nc
other reason than because they would
vote the Republican ticket if allowed
to vote at all. 1t is not a matter Of
intelligence as to the colored vote o.
Akhe South why the Democrats want t(
3press it, but it is because the col
16red vote would be Republican in
stead of Democratic if it was cast
In many of the states of the South the
colored vote has been legally dis
franchised, and that being a fact, it il
unfair, unreasonable and unjust to th'
other sections of the country that th'
Southern states should have twic'
and in many instances three times a
many representative for the vote
they cast than the other sections. |
is therefore repeated that it behoove
every Republican to stand by Con

imously pass it from partisan stand

such a law enforced in the various
