The Seattle Republican., 1906-03-09

Republicans do not pass it the people
will elect some other kind of partf-
san to office and especially the legis-
lature, who will do so. Had the nom
nations for the late election been
made by the direct primary system
the Republican ticket would have been
elected by overwhelming majOrities,
but the people got it into their heads
that the nominee for mayor on the
Republican ticket was the creature of
a few cunning politicians, and so they
voted him to private life, not that
they liked Riplinger less, but as a re-
buke to those cunning politicians, who
manipulate things. 1t is but natural
for the corporate influence to be
against the direct primary law, for
with it in operation it can not dictate
the party nominees, and it's only hope
to control under direct primar law
would be to corrupt every man elect
ed to office with bribes, which it could
not always do. The direct primary
law must be enacted by the next legis-
lature.
The Seattle Republican., 1906-03-09
A GOOD MAN DEFEATED.

Every one who knows John Rip
linger. will unhesitatingly agree that
a most excellent man went down to
political defeat last Tuesday, as re-
suit of the Seattle election. We do
not believe the man has a real enemy
throughout the whole length and
breadth of the city of Seattle, and yet
he was numerically slaughtered by
the voters thereof. 1t was an awful
rebuke for some one, and while Rip
linger, under the circumstances had
to take the dose, yet we know it was
not intended for him. Such, however,
are the fortunes Of war (pOlitics) but
one can not but regret to see a good
man sacrificed for the sins OF others.
In retiring from public life, John Rip
linger will take the good will and
wishes of hundreds and thousands Of
his fellow citizens with him, which,
we believe, will be Of good service to
him in whatever avOcation he may
cast his lot. Mr.. Riplinger deserved
a better fate than that meted out to
him last Tuesday, and in our opinion
time will prove that we are more than
right in the assertion. 'I now real
ize," said he, that l have a host of
personal friends in Seattle, or I would
have been showed under thousands
of votes" which is quite correct, for
with the forces against him that were
evident throughout the campaign it
is miraculous that he was not defeat
ed by a 5000 plurality. The Seattle
Republican, aside from general re-
gret at the defeat of a Republican
nominee for mayor, keenly regrets Mr..
Riplinger's defeat because he has al
ways proven himself to be the friend
of the man truly in need of real
friendship.
The Seattle Republican., 1906-03-09

Speaker Cannon's Views. my
judgment the danger now to us is not
the weakening of the Federal Govern
ment, but rather the failure of the
forty-five sovereign States to exercise,
respectively, their function, their jur
isdiction touching all matters not
granted to the Federal Government.
This danger does not come from the
desire of the Federal Government to
grasp power not conferred by the Con-
stitution, but rather from the desire
of the cltizens of the respective States
to cast upon the Federal Government
the responsibility and duty that they
should perform. If the Federal Gov
ernment continues to centralize we
will have vast bureaucratic govern
ment, which will prove inefficient if
not corrupt
The Seattle Republican., 1906-03-09

The term, "Black Maria" originated
in Boston about the year 1858, when
that city first employed a covered
vehicle for conveying prisoners be-
tween the courtrooms and the Jail.
Being painted black, it was promptly
named by the populace the "Black
Maria," it's godmother, SO to say, be-
ing an old Negress named Maria who
was a well-known local character.

that the Albian rebellion has been

WANT DIRECT PRIMARIES.

If the Republican party in this city,
county and state desires to hold it's
power. the members thereof should
take steps at once to have the next
legislature pass the direct primary
law The people demand this and
will not take no for an answer, and if

Rev. F. L. Wharton suggests a pub
lie installation of the city officials,
where addresses could be made, and as
it were lay the law down to the serv-
ants of the people. 1t might be al
right to lay the law down to them if
they would pick it up again.

is an old adage in which there is still
more truth than poetry, and in verifi-
cation thereof the P.-I. and the Times

Men who attempt to cast an illegal
vote cannot be punished for lack OF

This community has the habit OF
slaughtering good men up for office.
It did it to Frink and now it has
done it to Riplinger.

Perhaps the P.-I. is correct in saying
Ballinger was the best mayor Seattle
ever had. and it in our opinion could

Greater Pittsburg's First Election
The first mayoralty election in the re-
Gently consolidated cities of Pittsburg
and Allegheny took place on Feb. 20,
when George w. Guthrie, Democrat,
was elected over Alexander NJ Jen-
kinson, Republican, in one of the most
spectacular elections ever held in
Western Pennsylvania. At night var
ious estimates were given as to his
majority The most conservative poll
ticians placed it at 5000, while the
more enthusiastic believed that it
would reach anywhere from 10000 to
$4,000. The election of Guthrie was
a complete knockout to the Republican
city machine. The result was merely
an uprising of the indignant voters.
who cast aside party lines to take the
offices of the city out of the hands of
the men who have held them for so
long. JenkinsOn, who is millionaire
cigar manufacturer, was the candidate
of the Frick-Mellon-Cassat combine,
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
were thrown into the city to elect him.

Monkey Language.

1t is generally supposed that Profess
or Garner is the first man to study
what has come TO be called the speech
90 monkeys AS n matter Of Fact. the
honor belongs TO Sir Richard Burton,
the famous oricntalist. who translat-
cd the Thousand and one Nights. .
Lady Burton tells in her biography of
her distinguished husband that Sir
Richard believed firmly In monkey
speech, that he had forty apes con.
tinualy with him for several years
and that he had written down mon
key vocabulary of sixty words This
vocabulary unfortunately was lost.
Professor Garner can make n strange
monkey drink by saying a certain
word. and with another word he can
make il eat. and with another word lie
can brighten IT, But Sir Richard Bur
ton could do all these things too. His
vocabulary. furthermore, was larger
than that of Professor Garner Ernst
IIaeckel. the great German scientist.

Of the monkey language. lie says. he
believes firmly that such language ex-

A Matter of Pronunciation.

Is II too late To make Il stand against
the mlspronunciation OF the word
frieze as applied to Irish tweed? ON
the other side of St Georges channel
they know better than To confuse their
wall decoration with their dress ma
terial and pronounce the one freeze"
and the other "frise." So did we In
old England. Originally meaning the
curling nap on cloth from the French
"friscr." TO curl; Welsh. "ffris." nap
of cloth frlZe. as II was then spelled
and pronounced. came to mean cloth
that had Il nap on one side and is now
applied 10 any rough kind OF home
spun. We can be sure OF the old pro.
nunciation from the motto worn by
Brandon. duke of Suffolk. when, on his
marriage with Henry Wills sister,
he appeared nj tournament on n
horse drapcd half in "frleze" and half
in cloth Of gold:
Cloth OF gold. do not thou dcspise
Though thou be matched with cloth OF
frizc:
Cloth OF frizc. be not thou too bold,
Though thou be matched with cloth OF
gold.
