Philadelphia small boys are happy
because the authorities have laid off
for them a number of baseball dia-
monds i'm one of the parks, and every
day the several diamonds are filled
with enthusiastic youngsters batting
and base running, throwing and catch
ing, and shouting and having a good
time, to the betterment of their health
and physical development. One of the
Philadelphia papers says that a few
days ago there We're no less than twenty
five ball games going on in the park at
the same time. Something of the kind
might be arranged for the boys of
Savannah. There is a plenty of room
in the vacant lots within the city
limits for dozens of diamonds, and they
could be laid off at practically no ex-
pense.

One reason why the ebb-tide Of fed
eral pension payments is so slow at
setting in is that so many young wom-
en- marry old soldiers with heads whit
ening for the grave, doubtless with the
purpose in view of burying their aged
husbands at an early day and drawing
the pensions that are paid to widows.
In New York the other day a pen
sioner Of the age of y died, two weeks
after he had led a blushing young
bride to the altar. The man had been
drawing a pension for twenty-five
years. The chances are that his bride
widow will survive him twenty-five
years or more, during which time she
viii draw largess from the government.
Thus for fifty years the government
will have carried this pension on its
rolls Nor is this an isolated case. 1t
is not at all uncommon for young
women to marry decrepid and totter-
ing old pensioners.

mo mystery was ever elected Pres
ident of the United States, and none
ever will be-" said Senator Beveridge
at the Chicago convention. Then, how
about electing one Vice President? The
Republicans have nominated a mys-
terry for that office. Who knows any
thing about Charles w. Fairbanks?
The editor of who's Who in Ameri-
ca whose business it is to find out
about people, could discover only
enough about Mr.. Fairbanks to make
twelve short dull lines, as against
eighteen lines for Mr.. Beveridge. Mr..
Fairbanks has been in public life prac-
tically since 1874, while Mr.. Beveridge
discovered himself as a politician prob
ably not more than five or six years
ago.

Ship owners are Begging for a sub
sidy from the government because,
they say. ships cannot be built as
cheaply in this country as in Europe.
Why? Materials are higher here.
American steel is being sold in Belfast
Ireland, at $21 per ton, shipped from
Plttsburg. The same quality and
shapes of steel costs American con-
sumers, at the mills at Pittsburg, s32
per ton, and the purchaser must pay
the freight. The tariff enables the
trust to rob American consumers of
the difference between the two prices.
Is 1t not clear, then, that the right
thing to be done is to take the pro-
lection away from the trust? II that
were done, would not American build
ers get their steel much cheaper?

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1904-12-02

The Times one day this week gave what it
termed correct synopsis of the senatorial
situation, and it is worthy of comment, in
view of the fact that, it was written from
Piles standpoint and in an abusive strain of
Mr. Wilson. 1t says Foster will have 40
votes in the caucus Sweeny 35 votes Piles
80 votes and Wilson 16 votes The widest
Foster men have never claimed SO many
votes for him as that, but granted. Sweeny
has never at any time claimed as many votes
but grant that also. The Republican com
mented last week to the effect that under
certain conditions Piles would have 30 votes
Now grant again Wilson will have but l6
votes, which is ridiculous, they are l6 votes
that Mr. Piles will never get even if Mr.. Viii
son gets out of the race. If Foster has as

of the work, but it is hardly fair for one or
two fellows to lay back and wait for the

sidestep when the cuss can comes sailing

POLITICAL POT-PIE

Some one seems to be laboring under a
great political delusion, which is to the eff
feet that the Hon. John l.. Wilson is seeking
the United States senatorship as a King
county candidate. Neither Mr. Wilson nor
his friends are asking anything from King
county, and they are certainly not trying to
bring any influence on any one of the King
county members to cast their vote for
him or to act luke warm in any respect
to the candidacy of the Hon. S. II. Piles. 1t
seems, therefore, for Seattleites to begin to
unnecessarily abuse Mr. Wilson because be
does not step aside in the interest Of Mr.
Piles is puerile and foolish, and is very
poor way to get outside help for their sena-
torial candidate Mr.. Wilson has strength
outside of King county, but it is not record
ed that he can throw that strength to any
one else, and it is not recorded that he can
hold it for himself very long, if this abuse
from King county is continued.
1t begins to look as if some of the more
enthusiastic friends of Sam Piles have en-
tered into contract with the Seattle Daily
Times to abuse Mr. Wilson, and it has begun
its work we'll The Pie-maker is of the opin-
ion that the chances for King county will
not be aided very much in the election of
her avowed candidate by the friends of said
candidate for his friends to have the black
guard journal of the Pacific Coast to pour
out a TRADE of abuse on man that has not
only always been friendly to King county,
but is doing nothing at this time to inJure
the chances of the man that has been select
ed as her candidate for the senatorship. If
Mr.. Wilson is doing any work for himself
it is in localities and among members of the
legislature that even Mr.. Piles warmest sup
porters will not admit they have particle
of influence with or the faintest hope to get
their votes for their candidate. So it is plain
to be seen that this abuse of Mr.. Wilson on
the part of the Times, promoted, no doubt,
by some of Mr.. Piles over-zealous friends,
will not help King county to land the sena-
torship.

The king county legislative delegation held
a meeting recently, and after considering
many things of much Importance it was de
cided to appoint committee to look after
the appointments in the legislature that
should come to this county and it was unani-
mously agreed by the delegation that Sena-
tor A. T. Van De Vanter act as the chair
man of that committee, 'and thereby hangs
a tale.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1904-12-02

many votes as the Times claims he has, and
Candidate Sweeny the same, and if Piles has
but 30 votes, where at any stage of the game
will he ever get amy more? Does the Even
ing Liar think that Piles can break into the
Spokane delegation even when Sweeny is
out of the race to the detriment of WILSON,
Granted the Spokane delegation has no sec
ond choice is the Liar not aware of the fact
that majority of that delegation are old
time political tilicums of Wilson and that it
would be perfectly natural for them in case
Sweeny could not land, to vote for Wilson?
Do not the figures of the Evening Liar frank
y admit that of the two candidates, Piles
and Wilson, the latter has the outside
strength 1t seems to us an agreement was
entered into some time ago that If Wilson
showed more outside strength than Piles, he
would be supported by the King county dele
CATION The Seattle Republican is for Piles,
but it takes no stock in this wholesale abuse
of John l.. Wilson by the Piles organ be-
cause Wilson has followers In the Legislature
outside of King county, who would like to
see him go back to the senate to succeed
Foster Wilson has lived up to his agree
ment, he is still doing 50, and the Pie-maker
is inclined to think he is IN a position to do
King county some political good, whether
he is or is not in the senatorial fight, and in
view of the fact, King county is very anz-
ious to have the next senator hail from Seat
tie, there is no use of anita goniZing him. He
is entitled to decent treatment, and ii is
barely possible he will demand it and come
very near getting it before the fight
is over. King county wants a senator,
and it is surInised that the business men of
the city are not very darn particular how he
spells his name The Pie-maker has pointed
out before if the business men mean bust
ness, they had better look over the field with
care before tying up too hard with any one
candidate, and give their united support to
the man that can deliver to them, whether
that man be Piles, Wilson, Furth, Burke or
any one else Let the business men remen-
Der the results of the senatorial contest six
years ago, and then again two years ago
and they will make haste in this matter very
slowly.

Anther Shocking Assault Case
Such a carnival of crime on the part of old
men on the persons of little girls has never
before been heard of In the Northwest as
has been brought to light In recent weeks.
The authorities had not more than got
Schultz, the Fremont wretch, safely behind
the bars for crime that was so shocking as
to make cOurt-hardened officials shudder ON
hearing it repeated before one E. A
Schwartz, a Redmond fisherman, and his two
SONS, respectively 19 and IL years of age,
are complained against for continued as
saults on the man S own 13-year-old daugh-
ter and the boys own sister When CON
fronted with his crime Schwartz senior com
mitted suicide rather than face the courts,
but the two boys We're landed in jail and
If the summary vengeance of mob was ever
needed for protection to society here is an
instance, and a mob could not operate more
advantageously than to take those two
young human monsters from their cells and
drop them into boiling tank of oil. For
the past two years it seems the father and
the two boys have daily assaulted their 13-
year-old daughter and sister, and each of
them knew of the other s acts Talk about
fends incarnate, but has one ever seen a
more shocking example? Burning at the
stake is too good for such beasts, and their
half dead carcasses ought to be fed to howl
ing hyenas Each of those men should be
arraigned in court next week and put on
trial at once and be sentenced to the full ex-
tent of the law, even if that meant death
We shudder to think of the public wrath
and indignation hereabouts if either Adams,
Schultz, Schwartz and his two sons had been
Negroes instead of human monsters, who
boasted of being white men Though
King county has for the past fourteen years
had Negro male population fuctuating be-
tween 1000 and 1000, yet a similar crime
has never been heard of among them, and
that, too, despite the fact that for the most
part those Negro men are classed as Grim
inal inclined and exceedingly lax in their
morals. When will the storm of assaulting
little girls abate? Worse still, what has
come over the superior race here of late,
that it has begun to exhaust its carmal pas
sions on their own little baby girls? Do we
need more law for their protection, or do we
need no law in order to protect innocent lit
tie girls from their brutal fathers and broth
ers? Let s get one or both in action.

COTERIE MEETING.

A well attended and interest ing meeting of the Coterie was held Thursday at the home of Mrs. A. D. Holland. The mem bers responded to roll call with pretty quotations from favorite composers. After the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved the subject of the day, "Shumann-H Heink, !" was discussed: following this was a short though appropriate program of instrumental and vocal classics.
 Dainty refreshments were then served by the hostess, assisted by Mesdames Duffer and Snet- Fer, during which time Mrs. c. Simpson won the distinction of being the first member to drink from our famous red cup"
 After the initiation of Mes danes Wm. McMullen and Wal ter Martin we adjourned to meet with Mrs. c. Simpson Thursday, January 28.

RECEIVER APPOINTED
 FOR IRA HUFFMAN.

Charles Henry on Saturday re- ceived notification of his appoint ment as receiver for the stock of Ira Huffman and immediately proceeded to sell the perishable goods, such as fruits, breads, cakes, etc.
 Commissioner Charles c. Cole made the appointment upon ap- plication from Mir. Huffman to be declared a bankrupt. The liabilities of the firm aggregate about $2, GOO, according to the re- ceiver, while Mir. Huffman stated to a reporter for the Independ- ent that his assets would not fall below $4, 900.
 We are sorry to hear of the re- verses of Mir. Huffman and hope that his troubles may be cleared up, so that he may continue his business.

MAKING UP TIME
 UNDER THE BAN

The many terrible railroad dis asters of the past year, especially those of the past month, have set the managers of the great railroad systems of the country to thinking. The wrecks are said by railroad men to have seriously affected the passenger traffic.
 The Northwestern railway, which operates west and north west of Chicago nearly 10000 miles of track, has issued an or der that under no circumstances shall passenger trains exceed their schedule speed. No matter how late train may be the engi- neer must not make up time by running faster than his schedule calls for. All trains that become late on any portion of their trip must arrive at destination late. The explanation is made that the management does not care to risk

HOW NEGRO
 WON PARDON,
Threw Cats Into Air for Jeff Davis to Shoot at Back In
 Penitentiary Again.

Little Rock, Jan. 15. Warden s. T. Abraham of the state peni- tentiary has returned from Nash vile, Tenn, with a somewhat noted negro convict, Joe West brook. The negro is about 30 years old and has a record of crime that is out of the common. At first he was sentenced to hang in Crawford county for murder, but was granted a new trial, and sentenced to twenty-one years in the penitentiary. That was while Jeff Davis was attorney general, and one day while he was at the camp at Altheimer Davis told the negro to throw some cats into the air for him to shoot as tar get, and when he was elected governor he would pardon the negro. He did as bidden, and after Davis was elected governor Westbrook reminded him of his promise, and the governor grant ed the pardon.
 Then he went out and entered the house of a citizen with felon- ious intent, for which he was ar rested and sentenced to a term of four years for burglary and larceny. Again the governor pardoned him and took him to his home as stable boy. He worked one day, got his meals, came down town, stole bicycle, spent the night in jail and in a few days was again in the peni- tentiary serving a term of a year for grand larceny.
 This time he escaped, and going

FIRST WARD TO BE DRY.
Supreme Court Sustains Injunc- tion of Judge Fulkerson Against License of Saloons in First
 Ward.

There will be no saloons in the First ward of Newport during the year 1904, the supreme court on Saturday morning having an nounced it's finding in the case of the state of Arkansas ct al versus ]. M. Jones, upholding the in junction granted by the circuit court against the county judge, restraining that body from grant, ing license for saloons within the First ward.
 y. At the beginning of the year two of the saloons which had stands. in this ward, took out license in the Second ward. They were |. L. Bowen & Company and '. B. Doherty. MT. Henry Bord- well closed his place of business, pending this appeal. But it was hoped that they might be allowed to resume business at their old tands.
 This injunction was granted on the ground that no election was held in the First ward because the electors of that ward did not vote sse se .arately from the country
 sSssh the issue of license.
 P 'tayton, an attorney for
 .s, was present when LIZ finding of the supreme court was announced and telegraphed |the news here.

FIX BASIS OF REPRESENTATION.
There Will Be 40 Delegates in Democratic State Con-
 vention.

The Democratic state conven- tion, which will be held in Hot Springs on June IA, will consist of 40 delegates.
 At a meeting of the Democratic state central committee held in Little Rock Thursday the basis of representation was fixed at one delegate for each 175 votes, and one for each fraction thereof over 87, cast for the Democratic nominee for governor in Septem- Der, 1902.
 After a brief discussion, in which it was stated that the ba- sis of 175 seemed to be desired by both the candidates for governor, the motion to this effect made by John H. Page was adopted without dissent.
 The vote of Jackson county for Davis in 1902 was 995 and that of Independence 1,315, which thus allows the former county 6 delegates and the latter 8.
 Chairman Armstrong called att tention to a resolution adopted at a former meeting of the commit tee requesting county central committees not to assess state candidates more than 50 cents each in order to get their names on the ticket in the primary election.
