Henry G.. Thomas was born in Stowe,
March lG, 1914. His parents were farm
ers and his early life was spent on a
farm. His ancestors were of tried and
true Revolutionary stock. His great
grandfather was Andrew Thomas, a
brother of David Thomas of Boston Tea
Party fame.
When the civil war broke out Henry
Thomas was boy of II, yet the patriotic
blood of his ancestry caused him to enlist
promptly and he went to the front as a
drummer boy with the 3D. Vermont. lie

close of the war. After the war he went
to Grand Haven, Mimi. and formed a

In 1896 Mr.. Thomas returned to Yer
mont and again become citizen of
Stowe. He has always been greatly in
terested in fish culture and to his efforts
were due the formation of the Mount
Mansfield Trout Club, that owns one of
largest fish preserves in the state, and
that numbers scores of United States
senators and representatives among its
members.
1t was his thorough knowledge of
scientific fish culture that led Gov. Stick
ney to appoint him state fish commits

a prominent Mason, and G.. y. r. man.
1t is the universal opinion of all who

single black face, and in gloating
over it he used the following very
foolish language: THE Democrats OF
Marion county nave 1000 black votes
against them, but let the Republicans
keep them. We fought to the last
ditch to keep them from conterring
the right of franchise on them, now
let the party.that conferred this right
keep them, they belong to that party,
not to u.s. One can hardly find words
adequate to censure a man, who so
tar fOrgets himself as to use language
OF this kind, when his party has no
clnch on either the state or county.
Indiana is as much Republican state
as it is Democratic, and, perhaps, more
SO, and if it be true that there are 1000
colored voters in just one county in
Indiana any party would be foolish in
offering such an insult to 1000 vot-
ers, for it will be remembered that In
diana never goes more than 10000 to
2O,0U0 Republican or Democratic, as
the case may be, and this 1000 votes
could change the results from Repub-
ncan to Democratic at any time and in
as much as neither party gives the
colOred man any official recognition it
would have been just as well to have
left such fool remarks unsaid

From the New York Age it is learned
that the Charleston exposition has
caused to be placed about the exposi-
tIon grounds placards pointing out the
fact that this or that place is For
Whites or this or that place For
Negroes" Such a move on the part
OF the directors of the exposition is
carrying their race prejudices beyond
all reason, and is but inviting financial
disaster to the exposition. Already
it is said that the Charleston exposi-
ton will prove the worst financial
failure of any exposition that has been
held in this country and if it be true
that such placards are to be found on
the grounds of that exposition then
it is deserving of even worse failure
than it already has staring it in the
face and that is saying a good deal
Those will be very inviting signs for
President Roosevelt, who is soon to
Vlslt the eXpOSltlOnS to look on and it
will make him have most pleasant
memories of his having entertained.
President Booker T. Washington, few
weeks ago at dinner party Race an
tipathy, however pronounced, can be
tolerated SO long as it does not enter
into business relations, but when such
antipathy is indulged in to the finan-
cial and commercial detriment of the
community then it becomes a public
nuisance. The South's effort to con
tinue warfare on the Negro because
he is Negro is causing ruin and des-
olatlon to overspread every section of
that country and it will be so until
such has been completely abandoned.

CoIored Women Voted.

At municipal election held in Lex
ington, Kentucky, a few weeks ago
the tide of the election was turned in
certain direction by the colored wo-
mems vote. This so incensed the
white citizens Of that section that a
petition has been forwarded to the
general assembly of Kentucky, which
is now in session, asking that bill
be Immediately introduced and passed
by the legislature making it impos-
sible in future for women to vote at
school elections. That is to say, in
order to prevent a few colored women
from becoming the balance of power
in closely contested election, the
women of the state in general are tC
be disfranchised. If such course is
not penny wise and pound foolish then
there is no such a thing as that. II
seldom ever happens that the colored
women take enough interest in school
or the other, and when they do they
should be encouraged rather than dis
couraged in their efforts Perhaps the
cOlored women, like their white sis
ters, voted for white trustees, and il
is surmised that those getting up the
petition were sore over their defeat
and had no real excuse for sending
such a petition to the general assem-
bly,. There are whole lot Of people
in this country who are given the
right to cast vote, who are not de-
serving of it, and who do not wear
black faces either. If an educational
qualification was established all over
this country for would-be voters fewer
vicious characters would be elected tC
office, and this is true of the North,
South, East and West, in fact every
section of the United States.

A CoIored Man Appointed.

Mayor Humes has sent in the names
of Richard Davis and John F. Crag-
well as members of the board of park
commissioners, respectively, for five
and four years. Mr.. Davis is one of
Seattle's Well-known colored men, and
owns most excellent home on Twen-
ty-seventh avenue. He has been
resident of the city for many years
and has always been highly respected
by all who have known him. 1t is
predicted that he will make a most
excellent commissioner and be
credit to those who interceded in his
behalf for the appointment. The ap-
pointments were referred to the coun-
Gil committee on parks and boulevards
and will doubtless come up for con-
firmation next Monday evening. The
salary attached to such a position is
nominal, it not exceeding $1OO per
year

reasons to feel indignant when he was
informed on the streets one day this
week that it would be best for him
(Hawkins) to get in the Cragwell
band-WagOn, because, said the Crag-
well admirer, John F. Cragwell owns
all the property in which the colored
people out on Madison street and other
parts of the city live in, and it is but
natural for the tenant to do the bid
ding of the owner of properties in
which they live" Now, Mr.. Hawkins
is not to exceed five feet in height,
but at such information he pulled
himself up and for a minute he
measured fully six feet ten inches,
and with a remark that would be quite
too sacreligious for publication, he in
formed his would-be informer that
Mr.. Cragwell might own some prop
erty in Seattle, but the records did
not show anything of the kind, and
he was very doubtful whether he own
ed foot of property in which colored
folk live. If Mr.. CragweH owns any
thing in Seattle, and if you will point
it out on the records to me, then I
will eat every foot of property that he
owns in Seattle" Of course the man
who had been talking to Hawkins had
been told that fairy tale and he be-
lieved it without taking the trouble
to hunt up the facts about it. 1t is
too bad that men resort to downright
lying to carry point, and whoever it
was that informed the man that Crag-
well owned all the property in which
colored folk live in in this city was
prevaricator that would make Ananias
hide his face in shame.

to an alarming extent. business

were earning each day suAicIent wages

now walking the streets ana begging
their grOcerymen and other business
houses to give them credit, owing to
the fact that they are now on a strike,
and with no show of going to work
very soon. 1t is too bad that men sup
posedly OF good sound judgment would
permit themselves to be duped by lot
OF walking bosses" to such an ex-
tent as to quit their jobs and walk the
streets instead of working for good
wages. If the strikers could at this
time get all that they have contended
for during the long strike they could
not within a year repair the loss to
themselves that has been brought on
for having laid off for all OF these
months. If ever anyone was penny
wise and pound foolish these men are
the quintessence of it, all because they
struck for an increase OF rs or so cents

getting and lost all the way from $500

Just why it is that the Seattle police
men are always accused of some kind
of dirty deal is a thing that very
few people are able to explain. A few
days ago a prisoner in the county Jail
preferred charges against Detective
Lane and his associates, which, if true,
would warrant the police commission
ers in removing him from Office at
once. The Republican is not convers-
ant in detective affairs, and especially
OF this city, and hence he cannot speak
as to the authenticness of the charge,
but for some reason such charges are
constantly being preferred against the
police officers of this city, and it does
seem ito man up a tree" that they
get mixed up in such escapades alto
gether too frequently While Mr..
Lane has made a general denial of the
charges preferred against him by the
self-conessed criminal in court, never
theless he seems to have carefully
avoided making any specific denials in
the matter, and had to go into court
and testify before the trial judge was
convinced that he did not take advant-
age of the man whom he had arrested
and induced him, under the pretext of
judicial clemency, to plead guilty to
most heinous charge, which result
ed in him being given twelve years in
the penitentiary, when, if he had stood
his trial, year perhaps would have
been the maximum time given him.

Reasons For Disfranchisinu.
Senator John w. Daniel of Virginia
is quoted as having used the follow
ing language before the constitutional
convention of his state: 1T is dis
tasteful to me to have to sign my
name to any measure that would make
any kind of fraud possible in the
administration of the law, but no other
choice of weapons with which to fight
to maintain the integrity of the
white race and at the same time full
fill solemn party pledges. 1t is nee
essary to have a temporary under
standing clause to prevent disqualify-
ing illiterate white men of the present
generation from exercising the right
as other men the right of the ballot
and yet the Negro must be disfran-
chised." Senator Daniel is taking the
bull by the horns, vulgarly speaking,
and is offering this insult to the con-
gresslonal Investigation committee.
which has decided to look into the dis
tranchising of the colored voters in
the South. He believes that congress
will take no action in this matter and
throws down the gauntlet daring them
to do so lest they plunge the country
again into civil war. Recently con-
gress decided that it had no knowI-
edge OF the fact that colored men were
disfranchised in the South and a COM

fact and report on the same. Let them

A newspaper article is going the
rounds of the Eastern press to the ef-
feet that the late John P. Altgeld
showed up at st. Joseph, Missouri in
1878, practically a tramp, and for
while was a charity patient in the
home of a farmer a short distance
from the city. From that place he
went to Southeastern Kansas, where
he was a railroad laborer, but taking
seriously i'll he gave up that work and
tramped to the state capitol Three
miles from Topeka he begged of a
farmer to give him light work suitable
to his condition for only his board
which was done. Arriving in Topeka
some two weeks later he tramped the
streets looking for work, which he
seemed unable to find. and he con-
tlnued his tramp into Andrew County,
Mo-, and there did farm work, cutting
cord wood on the farm of Henry Muel-
Ter. On this farm he work for SO
month for two years In the mean
time he studied law as best he could
and made an effort to secure a certifi-
cate to teach district school. but
failed in the attempt. Later he secur-
ed the certificate through the influence
OF Mueller and earned $25 per month.
In this position he bent his efforts to
the study of law borrowing books
from one Judge Rea. It was not long
before he was candidate for prose
cutting attorney on the Democratic
ticket and after a hard fight won out.
Soon after that time he met Miss
Anna Rhoher and proposed marriage.

Some Snohomish Fools.

1t has been generally supposed that
taking was common to no other town
in the state except Seattle. but from
the Snohomish Tribune it is learned
that ten merchants of that city had
an interest in a piano on which
chances were given away to every one
to whom bill of goods were sold.
and they sold nearly a quarter of a
million dollars worth of goods in the
past four months on the strength of
1t when the piano was not worth at re-
tail price to exceed $1OO. Seattle has
a great horde of fools, but this little
town in proportion to the number OF
its inhabitants seems to have more t.
the square inch than even Seattle.

Warning Before Taking.

A patent medicine advertisement
taken from one of the weekly papers
OF this state says, you will never wish
to take another dose of pills if you
once try (here naming the specific
remedy. That is warning before TAX
ing, and if the patients will persist in
taking such remedy after such a
warning they deserve to die. There
is no doubt of the fact that taking
some of the patent medicine remedies
that is offered for sale and extensively
advertised in the country weekly pa
pers is the cause of more deaths than
any Of the ailments common to the
human family.

newspaper fiends, but unless Editor

than likely that his Commonwealth

POLITICAL POT PIE.


In order to boom Harold Preston's
candidacy for the United States senate
a business mems club has been or
ganjZed in Seattle, and he names OF
a number of them appear on it's role
OF membership. Upon the face OF the
whole affair it would seem that Mr..
Preston had received an unexpected
boom that will come pretty nearly
landing him in the United States SEN
ate as soon as the voters OF the state
of Washington get an opportunity to
elect him. but the organization OF po-
litical clubs does not always accom-
plish all that their organizers would
have them do. 1t is not the person
who succeeds in having club organ
lied in his political interest that al
ways succeeds in getting the desired
political nomination and election, In
fact just the opposite is the rule. How
ever. there are occasional exceptions
ception. The man who as the early
bird succeeds in having his neighbors
to organize special club for his ben
eft invariably is the man who gets
left in the primaries, for the reason
that he has assumed the aggressive
and has apparently got the bulge on all
the other politicians, and the entire
opposition organize to defeat him, be-
lieving thereby to gain a point for
each of the other aspirants. 1t is the
rule of all games of chance for those
in the arrears to combine against the
leader in order to make the game more
interesting. This is true of politics as
we'll as other games of chance, and it
is more than likely now that all OF the
other aspirants will combine against
Mr.. Preston because he seems to be in
the lead in King county.
