More Social Equality:

More Social Equality.
Strange things happen in this queer
old world of ours and so strange are
they that one is often at loss for an
explanation of them. Some time ago
the Associated Press dispatches told
of Caucasian in North Carolina, who
petitioned to the governor of that state
to change the date on which he was
to be hanged because a man of Afri-
can descent would be hanged in the
same town on the same day and
hanged from the same scaffold, and he,
the Caucasian, objected to such social
equality. Once a white woman in
Natchez, Mississippi, who had COM
mitted an awful crime, pleaded with
those who had called for an officer
that if she was to be arrested for
God sake call white officer, as she
seriously and religiously objected to
such social equality as being arrested
by niger In Atlanta, Georgia, not
long since, the judge of the municipal
court discharged white woman whom
he had found guilty of petty thieving,
drunkenness and general dissipation,
because she objected to riding in the
hurry up wagon" with colored wo-
man, who was like criminal. Excuse
me-" she exclaimed, from such social
equality" And now comes a super
ior court judge of this county and tears
mother from her four little children
because the mother had married a
Japanese and the judge perhaps OBJ.
jected to such social equality. All OF
these social objections to a weaker
race on the part of the Caucasian are
similar to the man who could see the
pigeon on the barn, but could not see
the barn, which prompts the writer to
repeat as above ''that queer things hap
pen in this old world of ours"

some figuring as to the ages of the
respective members and here is the
result of his work: Of the Sc senators,

diana and Kearns of Utah are under
40 years of age, Bailey being 38, Bev-
eridge and Kearns each being SO
years of age. There are twelve SEN
ators between 40 and so; 80 between
so and 60; rs between so and 70; IA
between 70 and 80, and just one, Sen
ator Peottus of Alabama, between 80
and 80.
Senators who have lived more than
70 years of age, nearly all of whom
have the vigor and appearance of
much younger men, are: Allison Of
Iowa, 72; Bate Of Tennessee, Is; Cul-

Burned at the Stake.

Burned at the Stake.
The burning of human beings at the
stake has become so common in many
of the Southern states that it is no
longer reported by the Associated
Press. 1t is merely a local affair and
however hOrrifying it may be it at
tracts no attention outside of the COM
munity in which it is committed. A
few days ago one Richard Young, a
Negro, was burned at the stake near
Savannah, Georgia, and the only evi-
dence of his guilt was given out by a
young man, who was ON his death bed,
to the effect that Young resembled
the man who murdered both his moth
er and himself On this slim and finn
sy pretext Young was taken from
Jail, chained to an iron stake and
burned by a bowling mob. Perhaps
persons who commit such crimes are
civilized citizens and perhaps they are
not and the odds are quite in favor of
them not being, for the acts of bar
barity committed by those people
would put to shame the acts of bar
barity committed by the most savage
heather to be found in any of the un-
discovered islands of the sea.

More Gambling.

wore GaTnpIIn9.
Speaking about the gambling situa-
tion in this city, it has been learned
that during the four years and four
months that Humes has been mayor of
Seattle the boss gamblers have paid in
to the city exchequer $184,90O, which
sum the boss gamblers declare over
their own signatures is but four per
cent of the earnings of the gamblers.
If this astounding sum is but four
per cent, what on earth must the other
SO per cent be? To run gambling de-
vices in Seattle is certainly a profit
able business, and no wonder there is
so much fuss being made over it, and
like wise no wonder that Clancy is
holding out for his twenty per cent
cut, which at the same ratio for the
next two years would mean a net pro-
fit to the Clancys of $369,SO0, and such
sum is worth squabbling over. If
the gamblers have been permitted
through Mr. Humes' influence to fleece
the public out of so large a sum of
money as the above figures would in
dicate they should be willing to pay
the Humes machine not only a twenty
per cent cut, but they should be will
ing to cut it in two for the benefit of
the Humes machine

City in the Business.

Some time ago e. L. Blaine sug-
gested that the city go into the gamb-
ling business and open public gamb-
ling hall as means of revenue for
the city's own financial good Regard
less of what Mr.. Blaine had in mind
in making this suggestion, neverthe-
less it is a splendid idea and the same
is herewith endorsed. If $185, 900 is
only four per cent cut of the en-
tire gambling earnings of this city it
would seem to indicate that the gamb-
ling business in Seattle is exceeding
ly profitable and that should the city
go into the gambling business on it's
own hook and prevent private gam
bling houses from being run at least
fifty per cent of the earnings of such
houses would be clear profit, and if
the houses would earn as much in the
next two years as they have in the
past two years, the city would find
itself the possessor of a sufficient
amount of money coming from the
gambling houses to carry on the en-
tire government and thereby relieve
the taxpayers of having to pay any
assessments on their property for the
maintenance of the city government.
If gambling is wrong the city is COM
mitting as much sin in allowing others
to conduct it as to conduct it itself
and in as much as it is a paying
institution it is suggested the taxpay-
ers get the full benefit of such wrong
dealings, and as stated above, this pa
per endorses the ideas advanced by
Mr.. Blaine, that the city of Seattle
open a public gambling house for it's
express benefit.

King County Congressman.

Most of the country papers, espe-
cially in Western Washington, favor
the idea of King county making a
strike for one of the Congressional
nominations and the idea advanced by
the Sidney Independent to the effect
that the King county politicians would
make serious blunder if they did not
make every effort to secure a congress
man to the next election seems to be
the cOncensus of opinions of the coun-
try papers, which opinion is quite in
accordance with the opinions Of the
leading politicians of King county.

Last Thursday in April.

Last Thursday in April.
So much has been said along the
line of changing the date of the inau-
guration of the president of the United
States from the 4th of March that a
committee appointed by the senate
has agreed to fix the last Thursday
in April as the Inauguration day of
the president of the United States.
Such a date would certainly be more
generally acceptable to all of the
states of the Union than the present
one because by the last of April the
weather especially in Washington, D.
c., is always pleasant and balmy. The
last Thursday in April is in the midst
Of spring and this is the most pleaes-
ant season of the year in that Sec
ton of the country and it is predict
ed that the Inauguration will be more
generally attended if congress fixes
this day for installing the new presi
dent into Office.

Coming West.

If the persons coming from the East
cannot do as we'll in this state as in
the states and places from whence
they came there would seem to be no
excuse for them coming West, and
when the Walla Walla Argus reasons
to the contrary, then it is destroying
the motive that prompts thousands of
persons in the East to come West.
They come West with the hope of bet
tering their condition, and unless they
do they will become dissatisfied and
will sooner or later return to the East.

Less Royalty Talked.

We quite agree with the Winlock
Pilot in it's assertion "some of our
Sunday papers must think that their
readers are exceedingly interested in
what the old worlds royalty is doing
from the amount of silly stuff that is
dished up every week for the delecta-
ton of the public" Just why the pub
lie should be told all about royalty in
almost every issue OF the daily papers
is quite a puzzle. Suppose royalty is
doing this or that thing, in what way,
please, is the average American inter
ested? Prince Henry came to the
United States and our citizens played
fool over him and now the Prince OF
Wales threatens to come in order that
he can have it done to him as we'll

two years from that date. While the
Pie-maker is we'll aware of the fact
that at the time Addison G. Foster
was elected he made certain pledges
to John L. Wilson and the same were
signed, sealed and delivered, never
theless Mr.. Foster has broken them
and has so fagrantly broken them
that in the opinion of the Pie-maker
Mr.. Wilson would rather not be elect
ed to the United States senate next
January than to be assisted by Sena-
tor Foster, and yet do not under
stand this to be official, for the Pie
maker has not seen nor heard from
Mr.. Wilson for the past two months,
and the ideas here advanced are
speculation, pure and simple
Seattle and Seattle citizens have
about made up their minds that they
will have one of the nominees of the
next three congressman that will be
elected from this state, and they have
made up their minds to accomplish
this regardless of what the results
may be as to the United States sena-
tor. Seattle has a number of young
men who would make ideal members
of congress, and if she can get that
nomination for some one of those
young men she will do so and take
her chances in capturing the United
States senator a few months later.
Already Bobby Albertson has entered
the journalistic advertisement busi-
ness for the purpose of getting that
nomination, and he is supporting him
self in the various weekly papers with
a vengeance trying to convince the
voters of King county that he is one
of the very few men in King county
that can fill the congressional bill as
it should be, all of which may be true,
but if you happen to have heard the
speech made by Bobby Albertson at
the Armory hall the night before the
last municipal election, the Pie-maker
believes that you know Mr.. Albertson
has been weighed in a balance and
found wanting.

Jim Hills Monopoly.

The Union Record of this city labors
under the wrong impression, Jim Hill
has no idea of either trying to get a
monopoly on the aerial transportation
to Seattle, the terrestrial transporta-
tiOn to Seattle, nor likewise the ac-
quatic transportation to Seattle, but if
the getting of all these means that he
is to build up Seattle in the same pro-
portion as he has done since he got
the Great Northern transportation
route to Seattle then Seattle is per-
fectly willing to give him a monopoly
on all of them.

SnoquaImie Power, Nit.


This paper learns from the Cen
tralia Chronicle, the Everett Herald,
the WhatcOm Reveille and the Port
land Oregonian that each of those
towns have turned down the Snoqual-
mie power proposition to furnish light
and power for those cities. Even Sc
attic, the home of this power company,
has refused to give it any rights in the
city, all of which would seem
to indicate that the Snoqualmie Power
Company is not a good thing and won't
get any pushing along by municipal
tiles of this section.

POLITICAL POT PIE.


Why should Seattle support an anti
railroad candidate for United States
senator? Will Seattle be subscribing
her best commercial interest by aiding
in the election of a United States
senator that will use his every in
fiuence to defeat the railroad COM
panies in their legitimate enterprises?
Is it not fact that the railroad
companies have made Seattle what it
is? Is it not a fact that Seattle never
jumped into national and even inter
national greatness until Jim Hill had
built the Great Northern within her
gates? Then, if that be true, again
the question is asked, Why should Sc
attic have an anti-railroad candidate
for the United States senate? In
times past the Northern Pacific Rail
road Company may have worked
against Seattle's commercial interest,
Northern Pacific is as much interested
in the upbuilding of Seattle as is the
Great Northern, and both of the roads
are doing all within their power to
make Seattle a great commercial sea-
port. While Seattle is exceedingly
anxious for a United States senator,
she should not be so anxious as to
elect a man to the United States SEN
ate who would go to Washington City
with the aVowed purpose of killing
the hen that laid the golden egg for
Seattle, that is to say, with the pur-
pose of doing up the railroad COM
panies that now come to this city,
because, forsOoth, some of his con-
stituents and supporters are opposed
to railroads. If Harold Preston in
tends to be a candidate for United
States senator on an anti-railrOad
platform, then he will certainly be no
friend of Seattle, because it is the
railroads and steamship lines that are
making Seattle the greatest CONNER
cial seaport on the Pacific Coast, and
if you impair the usefulness Of those
railroads, then you are deadly op-
posed to the upbuilding of Seattle. Let
Mr.. Preston examine himself and if
he is to be that kind of a candidate
then let him announce himself and
let Seattle choose between the two,
Preston and poverty or railroads and
prosperity.

A Queer motto.

A Queer motto.
Justice, mercy, truth aud hiserty,''
is the motto Of weekly paper, which
has just begun publication in Wash
ington, D. G. Such a motto is deserv-
ing of having eminated from a saint
instead of newspaper sinner, and if
that paper sticks to it's text you can
rest assured that it will not be pub
lished very many weeks. A more ap-
propriate motto would have been "get
there" The newspaper man who will
adopt such motto and stick to his
text will eventually be crowned with
success. Publish paper that will
compel all manner of men to read It
and conduct the business office on q
similar principle and you will get your
justice, your mercy and your liberty
and the truth you yourself can to some
extent furnish.

If the Labor Journal of Spokane will

quently happens that men rush into
such things with the view of impress
ing the bystanders of their great
knowledge and ability to handle dan
gerous things and as a result they
either lose their lives outright or are
manned for life. A good rule to OBJ
serve is to keep your hands, and not
only your hands, but likewise your
tongue, out of things that you are not
conversant yith. Electricity is dan
gerOus force and one that not even
those who pretend to be experts with
it knows anything about, and in order
to prevent serious accidents it is a
good idea to always walk around an
electric light wire even if it is not
connected, because you do not know,
as the little boy said, what a dead
hen might do" A half dozen or
more persons were seriously injured
last Sunday evening by an electric
light wire when there was no excuse
nor reason for it. The wire was down
and if those who discovered it had
kept their hands off it and called for
some one from the company's office
to come and attend to it, no one would
have been injured, but in order to show
to the bystanders that they had no
fear of even an electric light wire
they wilfrlly rushed in to their death.

board makes it will have a peck of

ordered the reinstatement of Sam
Corbett, and it may likewise order
the reinstatement of Walter Easson,

If fewer persons were not so wise
there would be fewer accidents re-

cause he persisted in trying to handle

knew no more about electricity than
