FROM WOMAN'S
POINT OF VIE w

The epidemic Of "affinities" and soul
mates" is certainly startling and rather
nauseating as well. but il points out a
possible weakness in the married state. an
indifference on one or both sides TO seem
iGgly insignificant details. We must admit
that some men OF our acquaintance have
provocation TO seek cOngenial companion
ship. that some women might think them
selves justified in accepting a pleasant
path outside the home circle when the
one within is lonely and thorny. These
are not valid excuses. of course, for honor
should keep US all in the path Of recti-
tude
We must face the fact that we are
human beings fun Of imperfections. and
that If we wish TO keep husbands, wife
friend or acquaintance we must use meth
DDS Of various sorts. Foes cling Ike
leeches without encouragement, and a
few surprisingly faithful souls viii re-
main friendly TO the end without regard
10 the treatment accorded them But the
ordinary mortal is repelIed by coldness
and Indifference and turns to the sun Of
cheerfulness for comfort We may fume
10 our hearts content. but we cannot
alter facts.
wife who has lived for years under
the worst possible conditions told me that
she lost no opportunity TO make disagree
able remarks 10 the man. He has been
faithiess to his marriage VOWS. and shows
no inclination TO reform, but the woman
elects TO pass the rest Of her lie with
him. so she might be decent in her treat
mcnt. He supports her and the children
showing before the world and is entitled
TO some return for that much. Condi-
tions would be some better if an atmos-
phere Of peace reigned in the household
and why any woman can voluntarily add
to her own misery passes my compre-
hension.
She says that she has neither love nor
respect for the man. so II ought not
TO be very hard to treat him as cour-
teousiy as she would an acquaintance
and a guest: give him a comfortable home
in return for the money which he spends
on her and her young daughters Prob
ably he is beyond reclaiming, but since
love has departed the worst is over. and
she ought 10 be able 10 look the matter
in the face and calmly plan for the great
est amount Of comfort to be CLEANED from
the wretched condition.
The crying need Of feminine nature is af.
lection. The average woman is won
through love and its manifestations. and
when the devoted lover becomes sub
merged into the careless husband. she
suffers more than any man can under
stand. She wants something more than
material comfoTts-she wants as much OF
his time as she had when he was wooing
her. she wants frequent proof Of his last
ing affection. And when he fails TO i'm
these wants he opens the door to some
other man who is more thOughtful-enter
the affinity" the soul mate" nothing
more than new names for Old things. for
the man or woman who makes existence
pleasant I honestly believe that we
would never have heard the names had
not humanity reached such a point OF
careIessness. We take life so seriously
that we find no time % foster sentiment

struggle against unionism.

The Moran Co., of this city, seeing the
injustice to the laboring world, in not be-
ing permitted to hire man who could not
present union card, is now attempting to
establish the open shop, so that it can en-
ploy some of the many laboring men that
are being attracted to the Sound by the
opportunities for bettering their condition
that are offered here, but who are too in
dependent to be held down by some labor
union boss. The company also finds that
there are some colored laborers who are
Just as steady and whose work is just as
good as the white men, who are looking
for work, and who should be allowed to
work anywhere, without the discrimina-
tions that the unions place on men of color.
The longshoremen are striking, but the
vessels just as we'll and just as rapidly as
the union men.
These are only few of the firms that
feel that all men should have an opportu-
nifty to work at the going wage without
regard to color or anything else except
efficiency.
We do not advocate the bringing into
the country Of car loads of strike-breakers,
but the public demands that all men here
be given an opportunity to work, and let
the best man have the place regardless of
his color or his membership in any union.
Open the doors and leave it to the sur
vival of the fittest

SEATTLE SPIRIT NEEDED.

The unprecedented growth, advance
ment and development of Seattle is due
more to the Seattle spirit than any other
cause. In all things that were for the
good of the town everyone has worked and
acted in unison, and against every meas
ure calculated to injure or impede its
progress, the entire population is solid
phalanx Thus we have been able to pro-
mote and prosper the things that were
good and to kill and crush out any injurious
and deleterious sentiments that have aris-
en-. The Seattle Spirit must now be called
into operation on most important matter.
Our city is on the eve of entertaining its
first large body of visitors. 1t is an open
bidder for the National Republican conven-
ton next year, and for many other large
bodies that are to meet before and at the
time of the great Fair that is to be the
crowning object of all our efforts AS
members of the board of trustees of the
Christian Endeavor Society that meets
here in July are three Negroes. Two of
them bishops in two of the great branches
of the Methodist church, and one we'll
known educator and christian worker. All
three are educated, refined christian gen
tlemen, the peers Of any other men who
will attend the convention. The great
Christian Endeavor Society recognizing
their ability, standing and usefulness, has
seen fit to make them trustees of the soci-
ETY.. The other trustees, recognizing in

Credit to Civic League.

The civic League of mems clubs has
fulfilled the expectations of those who call
ed it into existence and has earned a right
to the commendation of all right thinking
citizens. To definitely measure the credit
due it for the election of Mayor Moore to
the mayoralty in Spokane would be diff
cult, if not impossible. It's influence pene-
trated into all parts of the city and was
felt in many places unknown even to the
members of the league. The result is seen,
after four months of work, in the over
throw of one of the strongest political ma
chimes that ever afflicted any city.
Much of this result was due to the ac-
tive work of the mems clubs, to their or
ganized effort and their intelligent and
conservative discussion of the great re-
form problem before the city. Much of it,
moreover was due to an almost indefnable
influence which the participation of men of
recognized good standing in the community
had upon others who were too busy to
thoroughly study the subject themselves.
Without more than a general knowledge of
Mr. Moore many voters felt that they could
place confidence in a man whom their
neighbors, members of the civic club, were
so warmly indorsing.
This personal factor is, of course not
always safe guide. A mans judgment

them their equals, have never objected to
mingling and associating with them on &C
count of color. They will come in the same
cars meet in the same hall, sit on the same
platform, pray to the same God go to the
same heaven in the end, and in all these
no objections are made on account OF color.
Yet it remained for a second-class hotel IN
Seattle to say that these gentlemen, these
Trustees of the Great Christian Endeavor,
cannot sleep in the same house with the
other trustees because they are black.
It remains for committee of chris
tan (?) gentlemen to be weak enough to
allow the management of this hotel to thus
insult the great body of Christian Endeavor
of the world. This management and this
committee have thus blighted the fair name
of our city. They have said to the world
that Seattle is unfair, unjust and unchrls-
tian. They have killed every possibility
we had of securing the National Republl-
can convention. They have kept away
thousands of dollars that would have been
spent in our city, and why has this been
done? Because of the smallness of their
dwarfed souls, of the meagerness Of their
perverted intellects- they imagine that the
other trustees, noble, broad-minded, chris
tian gentlemen would be pleased at such
action.
If ever that true Seattle Spirit, " that
has always been honest fair and just, was
needed to right wrong and protect the
city from disgrace it is needed now. The
city should rise up as one man and con-
denim these weaklings for disgracing this
noble city.

THE OPEN SHOP.

The question of open shops has become
the paramount issue on the Pacific coast
today. Whether man has right to en-
ploy any one who applies for work or
whether the applicant must have the union
stamp on his forehead, is thing that must
be settled now if the prosperity and good
times that prevail are to continue.
The labor unions, emboldened by the
success that has come to them in late years.
and strengthened by the bank accounts
they have been able to accumulate by the
good wages they have received, are today
threatening the tie up Of nearly every big
concern on the Coast. They object to the
employment of any person on whose fore
head the union stamp is not branded, and
defy any large concern to employ any but
white labor They claim that an open shop
and that the employment of Negro help
will demoralize the work and reduce the
wages, which is not borne out by facts and
figures.
The Oregon Improvement Co., now the
Pacific Coast Co., some years ago brought
colored miners to their mines at Franklyn
and Newcastle and established the "open
shop" which they maintain today. The
white miners who have manhood enough
not to be bossed by union have been able
to secure work. The Negroes who desire
it have also been given work; the union
men who apply are also given work, and
all the employees are receiving the same
pay that union men elsewhere are receiv-
ing. The company has eliminated strikes
and thus are able to work their mines every
day and give the public the benefit of coal
thus produced, thing that would have
been utterly impossible if they had not
been running an open shop.
The gas company of this city runs an
open shop in the making of their product
and employ many colored men whose wa
ges are more than was paid before they
employed colored help, the service render
ed the company is entirely satisfactory,
and the long suffering public is assured of
gas at all times.
The Sumner Iron Works, at Everett,
has the open shop system on all classes, and
all colors are employed, and yet the stand
ard wages paid are the same as in other
foundres; but the fear, inconvenience and
losses of strikes are an impossibillity.
There are a few other establishments
today that are making a life and death
