faculty of the University of Washington is
desirous of further melting the whites OF
the Northwest to race rioting is why it invited
United States Senator Ben R. Timan, the Verl-
table demagogue to speak before the student body
within the next few days If Tillman was phil
osopher, a logician, scientist man of letters
and discussed such topics could understand the
eagerness of the faculty to have him talk to the
men and women of tomorrow Of this immediate
section who at this juncture is character
building but none of these does he either touch
or show any signs of being more than passingly
acouainted with in his harangues, which he is
pleased to term lectures His only theme is the
degradation of the Negro and this is told in such
coarse and brutal language that it brings the cold
shivers all over any person possessing spark of
education culture or refinement. Nothing Senator
Tillman will say in his University harangue Will
be an incentive to those who hear him to aspire
to become noble useful men and women. on
the other hand his every word will be OF de-
moralizng nature, and if they have any erect
whatever the minds of the students, it Will only
be to and excite any brutal or savage IN
stincts latent within them to prepare to do Vlo-
lence to a weaker race or class of human beings
that may perchance to abide among them. The
nature of Senator Tillmans called lectures is
well known to not only the faculty. Of the Uni
versity of Washington, but to every man, woman
and child in the estate" of America and knowing
this, the faculty must have concluded that, the
Northwest has not race troubles enough already
and therefore the anarchist from South Carolina
is imported to start in another place The
white man of course has the right to play the saw

God and we do not doubt it, there will come

Aaron T. Van De Vanter the career OF
one of the strongest characters that
ever trod the Northwest came to a sudden terml-
nus Though but in his forty-nnth year OF actuaI
existence, yet in experience he doubtless had lVed
twice that number of years. The accident was
most lamentable one, and as result Mr. Van De
Vanter met an untimely death while others with
him were badly injured and may yet be overcome
bv the same fate Notwithstanding the fact that,
he had repeatedly been seemingly at deaths door'
he himself never admitted it or believed It, and
battled nobly for life in the final struggle. Like
all men in life he had his faults his shortcomings
and even his enemies, yet he was never known TO
kick man when he was down. He was always
philosophic in his madness and never kicked
against at the pricks. In his defeated ambitions
he smiled as cheerfully as if he had succeeded
Those persons who saw nothing in Van De Vanter
except wrong either did not actually know him OF
they Judged him by themselves. Nothing ne eve

all his faults he was both fair and fearless, ana

just the man to represent new state. He has
represented that state for years now, and
the only criterion by which we can judge the flu
