RAPID GROWTH OF POPULATION
City of Seattle Has More Than 10000
Population.

oeattle.-This city according 70 the
new directory census. contains 1872
300 people. The new Polk directory
will be out this week. Secretary J.
B. Meikle. OF the chamber Of com
merce, who had something to 10 in
preparing the prospectus for the new
directory, figured out the present pop
ulatiOn from the figures taken from the
1900 census, as shown by the direc-
tory Of that year and the showing
made this year.
The 1900 directory contained 1884
names and showed a population of
So,671. In the directory which will
be out this week there are 61.195
names. The increase in names this
year over 1900 amounts to 23.841. and
on the same basis the increase in pop
ulatiOn is 51629, making. a present
total population Of 1872 300. The in
crease in the directory record amounts
TO GA per cent. Mr.. Meikle thinks
there can be no doubt of the correct
ness Of the showing. and those who
have been estimating the population
at $4,000 will now have to revise
their figures

comedies that the race for chief of
police is between Jerry Brown and
Frank KEGS. However worthy may be
the motives of other candidates, the
fact remains that none Of them will
get over $50 votes and a vote for eth
or of them will be in effect vote for
KEGS. Probably the other candidates
will not believe this themselves until
after the votes are counted. but there
are plenty Of good men who are ready
to bet that it will prove true. There
fore, every voter should make up
his mind whether he wants Brown or
KEGS for chief Of police and vote di-
rectly for one or the other.

The communication of Fair Play
Yesterday explaining why he and 9TH
er saloon men as we'll as all keepers
Of gaming places will work for the re
election of Mayor Hunt was a frank,
open and emphatic statement OF the
position of this influential and rather
numerous class of citizens. However
many people will question the wisdom
of allowing any individual or any
class 10 decide for himself or them
selves what laws shall not be enforced
and what shall be observed. If one
should have the same privilege, and
soon we should find that obedience t.
all laws would be optional, the ques-
ton being determined by the opinions
Dreiudices, inclinatiOns or convenience
Of each individual.
If one man is allowed 10 violate
with IMMUNITY the law against gamb-
ling another might choose to ignore
the laws against larceny. another the
law against perjury. another the law
against bribery. another the law
against murder and so on ad ibitum
ad infinitum. and the result would be
state of chaos and anarchy.
But Fair Play is right in saying
that he knows just what to expect
from the Hunt administration and how
to get more Of what he regards as a
good thing. UnquestiOnably the way
to insure the nOn-enfOrcement of some
of the troublesome laws passed by the
| late legislature, such as that making
it penitentiary Offense to conduct
innocent games Of chance for a
profit. is to continue the present ad-
ministratiOn in power. The proof of
the pudding is the eating.
In President ROOseyelts remarks on
good citizenship in his recent address
he declared that all men. rich and
poor, white and black, should observe
the laws Of the land. That sentiment
has been generally applauded and il
should be good doctrine in Walla Wal
