Congressman Jones, who up to this
date had not received very much con-
sideration, had to be looked after,
and SO in the bitter fight over the
postoffice in Spokane Jones man won
out, and M. F. Harrison was appointed
over a former Wilson man. Be it re-
membered, however, that Mr. Harrison
has also been a Wilson lieutenant as
we'll, and his selection was as much
a triumph for Wilson as Jones. The
appointments to the various land Of
fees have been a more or less vic
tory for all of the contendlng factions
in the state. The one land office ap-
pointment that has been made in Spo-
kane Is a victory for both Wilson
and Jones, and the same is true of the
appointment at North Yakima, a com
plete victory for Jones. The appoint
ment at Waterville was a mixed vic
tory for both Senator Foster and Sen:
ator Wilson The appointment in the
land Office at Seattle was a complete
victory for Senator Foster, and the
appointment in the Olympia land of
ace was likewise victory for Senator
Foster, as was the appointment at the
land Office at Vancouver. 1t can be

At the closing of the city schools
in Washington, D. c., one hundred
and twenty-four young people received
diplomas from the High and Mutual
Training Schools of that city. Not
withstanding the fact that Washing
ton City is something Of a southern
port, it has splendid school facilities
for cOlored folk, and they are taking
advantage of it, and many of them are
annually graduated from the various
schools therein. Of course many peo-
pie think that Washington City, from
an educational standpoint, should be
as free from race prejudice as In
dianapolis, Chicago, New York or any

society, namely, by the simple quail
fication Of being a gentleman. We
have recently seen our president Sc
verely criticised for lunohing with
Booker T. Washington, Negro of far
more character and education than
thousands of Office seekers who throng
the capital every years. Yet in Lon
don recently the Negro King of Barot-
seland, Africa, dined at the private
residence of the Talbots. The guests
included the Archbishop of Armagh,
the Earl anad Countess Of Seafield
and the Earl of Carysfort. Subse-
quently a reception in honor of this
Negro king was attended by the Mar
chioness of Tweeddale, Viscount and
Viscountess Bangor, Lord and Lady
De Freyne, and many other persons
prominent in society.-The Seattle
Daily Times.
And the Negro would be treated
with just the same consideration in
this country if there was not an over
production of tin-horn autocrats. who
have been impressed with their super
human greatness on account of the
whiteness Of their skin and misfor-
tune OF the black people of this country
herein. Those persons who never lose
an opportunity in giving you to under
stand that they are white, which
means that they are Gods chos-
Ell people, are generally the most
dlsreputable ours that are to be found
in the community. The lady or gentle
man. though white, have no unkind
Things to say about any one regardless
OF their color or their condition, un-
less they are criminals, and then they
treat them with humane respect. The
mortal fear of some white persons of
being forced by circumstances to as
sociate with Negroes generally comes
from persons with whom no decent
Negro would consider for a moment
to associate for social equality is
one thing and sensible equality is an
other The black man has no desire
TO affiliate socially with anyone who
objects to his presents, any more so
than one white person desires to force
himself on another white person where
he or she is personally Objectionable.
Social equality always adjusts itself.
Where two persons, regardless of their
difference in color, make up their
minds to be sociable regardless of what
the world may say or think about it,
they dOsO. They elect to be social and no
powers can prevent them from using
their rights in the matter Tntermar-
riage may be out Of the ordinary, but
when persons of different color desire
to do so they do so in spite of any
amount of opposition that may be
brought to bear upon them to the
contrary The racial disturbances in
this country are due solely to the
damphoolness of persons trying to reg
ulate other persons affairs If you
will just look after your own affairs
and let the other fellows alone, the race
prejudice existing in this country and
in this country alone will adjust itself,
and race conflicts among whites and
blacks will be thing of the past. If
a man merits your favor, whether he
be white or black, it is your duty to
give it to him unstintingly.

| go overwhelmingly Democratic" came
from a leading politician one day
this week. There you are, Governor
| Mcbride, take your choice between a
Republican defeat at the polls and a
| convention success in Tacoma. Owing
to the fact that you have or will have
quite a bit of trading commodity in
the state convention, or at least YOU
think you will, you might accidently
get your railroad commission idea en-
dorsed by the state convention, but if
you do SO the Pie-maker is of the
opinion that you will do so at the peril
OF defeating your own party at the
polls, for that reason he beseaches
you to go slow lest you do something
extremely radical, and bring down the
curses of your party on your head for
all time to come. That there is much
danger of just such thing happening,
you yourself must now be quite aware

There was call for the delegates
to the state convention to meet last
Monday evening at the Chamber of
Commerce to discuss matters of vital
Importance to the county, but when
Lne delegates assembled and sat in
anxious expectancy for something to
.-appen, there was nothing doing, and
after passing motion empowering
Mr.. Humphrey the right of selecting a
committee of five from the delegates
to look after his nomination in the state
convention, the delegates adjourned,
each looking at the other for an ex-
PLANTATION, and it did not adjourn one
minute too soon, for an explosion
might have occurred at any minute.
1t was whispered about the streets
during the day that Governor Nc
Bride would attempt to force the en-
dOrsement of his railroad commission
bill on the delegates at the time, but
by the time the delegates had assem-
bled the Mcbride people got wind of
an impending storm and they failed
to bring up the matter as they had
promised to do. Had it been brought
up the Pie-maker is absolutely GER
tain that it would have been slaugh-
tered beyond all recognition, and then
King county's early convention would
have been boomerang instead of an
aid to Governor Mcbride. The Pie
maker believes that he makes no mis-
take when he says that seventy-five
per cent of the delegates from King
county at present are anti-McBride,
and at the rate things are going just

however awkward he went at it, but
the reckless pursuit with the instruc-
tions to shoot the man on sight was,
to say the least, foolhardy and death
inviting Almost without exception
every man that joined in that chase
did so for selfish motives. He either
went to prove his prowess as an Off
Ger of the law, or he hoped to get the
reward offered for the man dead or
alive, or he was trying to strengthen
his fences as public servant in
political way. Two brave officers Of
the law sent out by the sheriff would
have accomplished a hundred times
more toward the capture of the daring
desperate than the entire posse that
chased up and down the roads pre-
tending to be hunting for Tracy, and
praying to God they would never see
him, unless it so happened that they
could get the drop on the man and
shoot him in the back, and then claim
the reward Perhaps officer Breese
and Officer Rawley thought that they
were doing the proper thing, but the
consensus of opinion is that they used
poor judgment and that they took
their lives in their own hands when
they attempted to arrest Tracy. AS
to J. I. Knight, if it be true that he
shot Rawley by accident, he is really
guilty of no criminal act; and yet he
should go to his grave blaming him
self for being in the mix-up in any
shape, form or manner. If Tracy had
to kill a police officer, The Republican
is of the opinion that it was too bad
that he killed a good man, when such
pests as Hubbard and Philbrick
could have been killd instead. It must
be true that the good die soon
During the height of the Tracy ex-
citement the evening papers were issu.
ing extras every few hours, and it was
most remarkable to see the fools
snatch them up. The man or woman
who has no more sense than to buy
an extra copy of the paper every two
or three hours, which has nothing
new in it save and except perhaps four
or FIVE big head lines, possibly would
do better if he had someone to take
care Of him. In an extra Of one OF
the papers issued on Sunday, a head
line was to the effect Merrill Dead"
had suddenly become Merrill Alive
and Active" but it had no more proof
of the assertion than it had that Mer
rill was in the county Jail, and yet the
The Seattle Republican., 1902-07-11


safely said that no political faction
has absolutely dictated the federal ap-
pointments in this state and that fact
is clearly demonstrated by the men
who hold the position at present.
There is but one other appointment to
be made in land Office in this state
and that is in Spokane, and the pres
ent incumbent, Mr. Ludden, has
strong reasons to believe that he will
be retained by the President, which
will be Wilson victory.
Perhaps the most exciting of ali
the political news that has been re-
ported in this state during the past
thirty days was the announcement
from the Whitman county convention
last Sunday to the effect that the coun-
ty in Republican convention assembled
last Saturday had bitterly opposed the
railroad commission bill for which
Governor Mcbride has been making
campaign since he has been governor.
1t was expected that Whitman county
would strongly endorse the bill advo-
Gated by Governor Mcbride, but, if
reports be true, it has failed to do
so, and now the governor is a sadder
but wiser man. This railroad COM
mission bill was supposed to meet
public approval in general throughout
Eastern Washington, but in the largest
agricultural county in that section it
has met with ignominous defeat. It
may meet with some success in some
Of the smaller eastern counties, but
what will that amount to when such
counties as Spokane, Whitman and
Walla Walla are all opposed to it.
Sic transit gloria.
IF Governor Mcbride does not want
to make this state Democratic he had
better let that railroad commission
idea alone, let it go to sleep and sleep
the sleep Of the just that knoweth no
waking In my opinion if he persists
in forcing this proposition on to the
Republican party, and should it trans
pire that enough of the delegates in
the next state convention would so
lose their better judgment as to vote
for such a measure, there is no doubt
in my mind but that the state would

1t is cliamed that Governor McGraw
and a number of the prominent busi-
ness men of this city have petitioned
the Superior court to call grand jury
session to investigate the gambling in
this city which is being carried on
contrary to the laws Of this state.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
are state laws preventing gambling
being run as it is in this city, none of
the officers of the law, the prosecuting
attorney, the sheriff, the mayor of
Seattle or the chief of police has ever
dared to raise his hands against it.
There is no doubt that every officer of
the law mentioned in this connection
is culpably guilty of high crimes and
misdemeanors for not doing his duty
as an officer of the law, and if the
grand jury does it's duty it will find in
dictments against every one of them
Seattle is perfect harbinger for
thieves, thugs and hold-ups, and moth
ing is more responsible for such a
condition of affairs than that wide
open policy that has been pursued and
permitted in this city under the pres
ent municipal administration. The
motives that prompted this grand jury
is a move in the right direction, and
it is to be hoped that it will be push
ed on until every den and dive in Sc
attic will have been cleaned out.

fools bought the paper, read the head
lines and threw them away instantly.
1t is very doubtful if the daily paper
were not more responsible for the
deVllshness committed by Tracy in
this county than Tracy himself was.
II Tracy had been possessed of god
lIhe qualities, no more could have been
said about him than has the daily
papers since his ecape from the Or
egon penitentiary. AS soon as he was
in King county the daily papers at
once began to issue extras and con-
tlnued to do so until he left the
county, and one is almost inclined to
believe that Tracy and the daily papers
are IN cahoots with each other for the
purpose OF bilkink the public into buy
ing hundreds and thousands of extra
papers from which they did not get
the first particle of good. The daily
papers, owing to their wild statements.
cause women to become almost hyster-
ical in their homes, and had the little
boys parading up and down the
streets with either real or imitation
guns, and almost closed the churches
on Sunday, SO eager was the public
to congregate together and talk about
Tracy, who was nothing more than a
daring man with a shotgun in his
hand seeking escape.
The Seattle Republican., 1902-07-11

Another police scandal which was
only limited at in last weeks paper is
still talked about in the public places
of this city. The scandal here re.
ferred to is the one in which Charley
Phillips and -- Rarbee were
charged with having received a twenty
dollar reward for returning stolen
watch, and made no report of the
same to the department, It seems that
the men first located the watch, per-
haps they knew all the time, and
then they went to the owner of it and
proposed that she offer twenty dol
lar reward for it's return, which was
done, and then the watch was at once
produced by Detective Phillips. The
woman evidently knew that she was
being bilked by someone, and thinking
The Seattle Republican., 1902-07-11

The Republican notes that c. w.
Wappenstein is again on duty as a
city detective. AS an excuse for be-
ing reinstated on the force again it is
claimed by the mayor that he knows
every crook in the Northwest, and.
owing to the fact that he knows all
of them, every crook knows him, and
they mutually know each other Even
the Times in defending Wappenstein
admitted that he was no angel prior to
his resignation from the police force,
and yet it justified itself for advocating
such man being returned to the po-
lice force, by charging that the admin
istration under which Wappenstein
was serving permitted such a thing
and made it possible for him to take
bribes and moneys from hold-ups
thugs and thieves. Because one is
serving under an administration that
is not what it ought to be, it does not
necessarily give him a license to go
out and do as are the criminals are do
ing. Now it may be barely possible
that the mayor proposes that every
thug that visits the carnival must "dig
up" and knowing that Wappenstein
| knows them all, he takes such an on
portunity to bring them to time. If
this is his object he has acted it well.
But, notwithstanding this, the con-
sensus of opinion throughout the city
is decidedly averse to the return Of
Wappenstein to the police force. There
are those who claim to have Wappen-
STEMS record in Cincinnati and other
places at their fingers ends, and who
will make the same known through the
newspapers at an early date, and The
Seattle Republican serves notice on
all concerned that it will put every
iOta Of it in cold print from time to
time until Wappenstein has been
driven from the police force as he was
a year ago.
