Get Equal Suffrage.

~~N -6NS~' OHih' 0SNH
Among notable church changes
that have been chronicled within the
past few weeks is that in the Metho-
dist Episcopal church giving women
esual suffrage with the men in every
part and particular of the organiza-
tion. For years and years this con-
troversy has been going on in the
Methodist church, the women and
their friends contending for this priv
I4ege, but it was denied them from
time to time by the church prelates
until it was finally submitted to
vote Of the church, which resulted in
an overwhelming victory for the equal
suffragists. Evidently most men are
selfish, one-sided creatures, for there
seems to be no good and sufficient
reasons why the women should not
have been given equal suffrage almost
from the foundation of the organiza-
ton, as in most cases the women do
more or the maintenance of the
church in sparsely settled localities
and even in thickly settled localities
than the men. To be sure. the men
give the money to the women to
carry on the work, but it is because
the women importune their husbands
for the necessary money, hence they
(the wOmen) are the real givers after
ALL If therefore they furnish the
money to carry on the church work,
it seems nothing more than right but
that they be given as much voice in
the body polite of the church as the
men. The adoption of equal suffrage
in the Methodist church is going to
have most salutary effect on equal
suffrage being given to women in the
affairs of state. If they prove a sue
cess in this undertaking it will be a
strong argument in favor of giving
them equal suffrage in state matters
and that they will be as much a sue

Bible APOLOGIES.

The Northwestern Christian Advo-
cate, published at Chicago, does not
take much stock in the modern Bible
craze" which purports to be transla-
tiOns of the Bible into modern colo
quial English. The Advocate is of
the opinion that these so-calIed
"translations' are helpful as commen-
taries to some readers, but as substi-
tutes for the Holy Scriptures not one
OF them has as yet succeeded to such
station. The Bible has stood the
test of centuries, and it is more than
likely that it will stand the tes for a
great many more centuries, and that,
too, without regard to the many new
versions that are being brought for
ward for the purpose of satisfying the
effete ideas of the many new religions
that are springing up for the purpose
of bing popular with the masses.

Want to Unite.

The Episcopal church of Hawaii
has taken steps looking to the incor-
poration of that body with the Prot
estant Episcopal church Of the United
States. It is impossible for the Epis-
copal church or any other distinct
church organization to live exclusive
ly on one of those islands, and in as
much as the islands already belong
to the United States and is one of her
acknowledged territories, it would be
much better if the Episcopalians
would unite themselves with their
brethren in the United States and
thereby strengthen their cause.

whom were P. D. Hughes, George U.

port Frank Paul for mayor and
thereby throw down George N. Gil

The Pie-maker has run across one
stalwart Republican in this city who
makes no bones in saying that he
would prefer to be Governor Rogers
instead of Governor Mcbride. While
the present governor has unexpect-
edly stepped into honors, which prob
ANY have been the dream of his life,
yet these honors are bringing trials
and tribulations to him. If the new
governor could only De governor and
not have the senatorial candidacy of
a friend to make at the same time,
his troubles would not be so great,
but having undertaken to do both, he
can look for them to come his way
thick and fast.

Though Lieutenant Rawson denies
that he is a candidate for the position

Mr.. RawsOn maintained that he could
not accept the place and leave his
practice, as there was not enough pay
in it to justify him. However, should
Mr.. Rawson be named by the COVER
nor for the place he will make a most

POLITICAL.

The Republican central committee
has fixed the date of the primaries
and the convention as follows
Caucus, February IT, primaries, Feb
ruary 10; convention, February q;
and the official call to that effect has
been issued and the same is found in
another column hereof.
The Republican vote in the nine
wards of the city was as follows in
the election of November 6, 1900:
First, 1854; Second, $50; Third, 7OS;
Fourth, 926; Fifth, $50; Sixth, 1926;
Seventh, 958; Eighth, 657; Ninth, 548.
Political excitement in Republican
circles has been running riot for the
past seven days, and speculative can
didates have been springing up and
going down like mushrooms. The
name of Frank H. Paul was men
toned in connection with the mayor
atty and it at once took like wildfire
and spread throughout the city. For
few days Mr.. PauFs Office, who by
the way is city comptroller, was be-
sieged with callers to learn the real
facts as to whether he was or was not
a candidate, and to all comers he
curtly but politely stated that he was
not a candidate for mayor.

There seems to be no doubt now
but that George U. Piper will lead the
Humes forces in the coming primary
battle and convention. Some time
ago it was given out by local weekly
paper in this city that Piper had gone
over to the Wilson faction and that in
so doing John L. Wilson had bought
a gold brick. If George Piper has been
flirting in any shape, form or manner
with the Wilson people, it is now plain
to be seen that he was doing just what
he always does-trying to deceive
somebody. The Pie-maker was well
aware that Mr.. Wilson had had no
understanding with Mr. Piper, and
while he may have deserted the can
didacy of Levi Ankeny because Mr..
Ankeny refused to put up more money
to him, yet Piper had no intention
whatever of becoming a Wilson man.
because he knew good and we'll that
he could not fleece John L. Wilson out
of thousands of dollars, as it is report
ed he did Levi Ankeny.

The councilmanship from the Fifth
ward is still attracting much notice
among the Republicans in that dis
trict, and quite a few prominent
names have been mentioned in that
connection. The name of Ellis Nor
rison is still being talked of by both
factions of the Republicans, and it is
currently reported on the streets that
he has consented to the use of his
name in that connection. Mr.. Benja-
min will doubtless make a fight for
denomination, and his friends think
there is no doubt but that he will land
the plum at the proper time Among
the other names that are menti2ned
for this nomination are Elwood Hor-
ton, George Wilkes, Frank Mullen, F.
B. Hollenbeck and others.

The Pie-maker, feeling that he
would like TO learn the exact facts
concerning Mr.. PauIs candidacy,
called upon him one day this week in
his Office, and in reply to a question
as to whether he was a candidate for
mayor he said: Il am not a candi-
date for mayor, but l am candidate
for city comptroller and would ap-
preciate it if my friends would nomi-
nate and elect me to that position for
another two years" Mr. Paul has
been besieged by business men, par
tisans and factional partisans, to- be-
come candidate for mayor, assuring
him that if he would he could receive
the nomination without a dissenting
vote in the convention. The pressure
has been very great on him, but thus
far he has not consented to the use
of his name, though, should the con-
vention unanimously tender him the
nomination, the Pie-maker is inclined
to think that he would accept it, and
under the circumstances what man
would not?

ness OF the statement, which is flying
about the city to the effect that they
have deserted George N. Gilson's can
didacy, could not be verified, out for
the sake of friendship between the
men the Pie-maker trusts that it is
not true, even though there be no
show IN the world for the nomina-
ton of George N Gibson.
The mayoralty contest has com
pletely overshadowed every other
Office to be filled at the next election,
hence if there be any other candi-
dates they are slow in announcing
themselves. No one as yet has come
forward to measure arms with Cap
tain Gormley for the city treasure
ship, and the same is true of Frank
H. Paul, who wishes a renominatiol
for city comptroller. For the position
of corporation counsel three candi-

selves in the persons of John w.

Five long years hangs over the head
Of Donald McKerracher in peniten-
tiary stripes for having falsifed the
books of the Seattle National bank
and prof1ted therefrom to the extent
Of $z,100. McKerracher plead guilty
to the charge and Judge Hanford i'm
posed this five years sentence on him,
which, perhaps, was just exactly what
he deserved; but when this sentence
is compared with the one imposed
upon Ralph Ross, who defrauded the
United States government out of
$3.50, it seems rather gigantic. Ross
like McKerracher, plead guilty and
saved the government the expense of
going through long trial, but Ross
only got a six months sentence and
served that out in the county Jail,
while McKerracher got a five years
sentence and will have to serve it out
at McNei's island. The Pie-maker is
not cOnversant with the conditions
surrounding either of these criminals.

/ A BARGAIN ]
! In KISSES ]

There was a flutter of expectancy as
the minister's daughter came into the
little back meeting room off the main
floor of the church where the members
of the committee, the majority of them
young and pretty, all stood talking al
once.
Something was going on. In through
the half open door could be heard a
buzz of people, and an expert in such
matters, if be had passed by and even
had casually looked within, would have
known that church fair was in prog
ress.
1t was indeed the annual church fair
held under the auspices Of the Young
Women's guild, and this year the min
listers daughter was in charge of the
proceedings. Her father. away on his
vacation, had called her into his study
before his departure and appealed TO
her very strongly to '.do her share"
And so she had suddenly announced her
determination to take an active part,
much to the surprise Of every one, as
up to the present time she had been
more interested in playing golf than in
spiritual matters and had even been
called regular tonboy' by certain
recaleitrant beings in old fashioned
bonnets.
''She will make a failure Of it" an
nounced Mrs. Mintby, the official critic
of the minister's family. 'sThat girl is
too harebrained, and besides, what
does she know about such matters?
She wouldn't be seen in church half the
time if common decency didn't make
her co.
"That's So" assented Mrs. Dickster.
"All she cares about are the men and
outdoor sports anyhow"
And now, when the fair was half
over, it began to seem as If these pre-
dictions were to be fulfilled The
booths combined had taken in barely
$50, and to send those poor children
away for this summer-for the minis
ter'S daughter, with fine scorn of for
eign missions, had insisted that chari-
ty should begin at home seemed des-
perate chance, and ut this particular
moment it seemed as If nothing short
of a miracle would swell the receipts
for the next two hours.
The minister's daughter stepped to
the table where the chairman usually
presided. There was sudden hush.
She looked over her auditors moment
with calm. penetrating gaze.
Girls" she said. we have got to be
kissedr'
A cherus of "Oh's" and feminine
screams and protests was her answer.
There is no help for it, she contin-
ued. 1--WE must raise lot of money
before this night is over. Now, my
plan is this: We will all stand up and
be kissed at auction, one at a time, to
the highest bidder. Now, girls, don't
go back on me. Remember, it's in
good cause. How many can | count
onY
There was a pause: a hand was
raised, another, and then another.
In ten minutes more eight exceeding
ly pretty girls, headed by one who wa
prettier than all of them. filed into the
main room and grouped themselves
about a chair Cne of them stood up
in the chair. to which this legend was
attached:
