Presto Changed.

J. H. Ryan, who was in Spokane
Republican primaries in that county,
is thoroughly convinced that it is not
does most. Prior to the holding Of
the primaries, Mr.. Ryan says, it
seemed utterly impossible to find a
Wilson man throughout Spokane coun-
ty, and yet Wilson carried the county
by an overwhelming majority two days
later. Wilson and his men allowed the
other fellows to do all the filibustering
and then they set their little machine
to work couple of days prior to the
holding of the primaries and when the
ing they found that the machine had
gone off and there was nothing to it
so far as they were politically con-
cerned. Then it was that Mr.. Ryan
was more astonished than before to
hear men, who, the day before the
primaries, were bitter enemies to Will
son apparently, but who the day after
were warm Wilson supporters and
fiocked around the little man wher-
ever he appeared on the streets so
overjoyed were they in his success.
Someone has written: 1T is not all
gold that glitters," and it could be as
equally and aptly said, all is not truth
that is spoken.

Policemen Have Objections.


If current reports be true the po-
licemen of the city of Seattle do not
take kindly to the prospects of an
Afro-American being placed on the
force as a regular patrolman. Not long
since one Samuel A. Thorn, a we'll
known colored man of this city, took
the examination to perform the duties
of police patrolman, and, be it said
to his credit, he passed the best ex-
animation that has been acted upon
by the civil service board for good
many months. Mr.. ThOrn's creditable
examination and high standing was
certified to by the secretary of the
board and his name sent to the chief
of police as satisfactory in every re-
spect to fill any vacancy that might
occur on the police force. This hav-
ing come to the ears of those police
men who had already been put to work,
grumblings of discomfort, were heard
among Iu0n WHICH Culu1lndt0uI III d uOu-
ble-headed article appearing in morn
ing paper of this city branding any
attempt on the part Of Afro-Americans
to get on the police force as foolish
and abusrd, and which the policemen
themselves would resent if ever done.
That is to say, judging from the tone
Of the article which the pOlicemtn
themselves must have made up a jack
pot ant paid for the publication there
of, if Mr. Thorn is ever put to work
the balance Of the police force will
either strike then and there or make
it so uncomfortable for him by init
midation and humiliation that he
(Thorn) will resign in a few hours
after he has been ordered out for duty.
