it was almost a daily occurrence to

tervening spaces are rough enough to
rival Masonic Bumper. Sam says
that Colorado's good roads remind him
very much of West Virginia's noted

order to complain? A good time to
think on the good roads question.

$. ATTORNEY ROBERTS PROTESTS

-. John W. Roberts, a prominent attorney OF Seattle,
and legal representative of the National Surety Com
panv writes the TEE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN to the ef-
feet that it was in far the company making
any protests way the other to the paying OF
the Ortis Hamilton bond He says the company mas
made no statement whether it would would not pay
the bond and declared that he misquoted IN the
Seattle Daily Times and of there is no doubt OF
that for Saw it in the Times? Damn he,' is well
known fact to every one, and if The SEATTLE REPUB-
LICAN had have it in the Times it would feel like
censurng itself for giving it consideration but 1t
was the country press that prompted to comment on
the proposition We glad that thus far the COM
pany has shown no disposition to not meet its obga-
tons In closing his letter, however, Mr. Roberts
saws have refused to state to reporter who has
interviewed me whether the company would or would
not contest the bonds Is the general public to under
stand from this that there probability of the COM
pany refusing to pay the bonds? If the surety COM
pany wants to do the perfectly square thing in view OF
the fact that has already gotten it's money for furn-
ishnQ the bonds let it to the front at once and
saw Gentlemen of the state of Washington just as
soon as you have checked up the Hamilton accounts the
amount of the shortage to the limit OF our BOND Tor
Hamilton will be forwarded you" Why assume a
sphinx like attitude the subject? What has the
company up it's sleeve that it refuses to make free
and frank statement of meeting it's obligations when
the state officials will have shown the company officials?
If the company would come forward with statement
like this then it's attitude could not be contorted and
it would mean increase of business for it in the state
of Washington There is no doubt but that the state
has lost money by the peculations of Ortis Hamilton
and whatever company Individual that on his bond
should make good as much Thereof it or he is on the
bonds for and that too without quibblng and splitting
hairs

COLLINS CENSURED

Will the Seattle '4OO'' boycott the exposition? is
the all absorbing question in local sawcety circles
lust now Under the dictatorship of the Hon. Josiah
Collins the receptions and the entertainments that are to
be and have been held in honor of distinguished per-
sonages that have and will visit the exposition Mr..
Collins has handled to suit himself and persons that
are in position to make such entertainments huge
success have either been snubbed outright goes the
story or have been given but little any considera
ten. Elaborate spreads being given i'll the WASH
ngon state building it is reported at either the ex
pense of the state or the exposition management to
sons of but little consequence, and yet when
funds are asked for the entertainment of really dstn-
ushed persons who are expected to attend the expo
sition Mr. Collins blunty retorts there is money
for their entertainment Il do not think ever saw
power so badly abused it is in the hands OF Mr. Col
lins declared lady, who is way up in the social af-
fairs of the city. 1t to me that the leading
ladies' of the city preparing to leave the city for the
summer this year just though the exposition was not
running and expecting some Of the most distinguished
persons of the country from time to time in Seattle
which persons should be entertained by the same
leading ladies of the city is reported to have from
President Chilberg in talking the situation with
one of the society ladies and she is reported to have
torted with clerks wives taking the places of bus
ness mems wives who furnished the money for the
position under the direction of Mr. Collins what more
could YOU expect? I am not interested and suspect
there are others" This did not sound good to Mr.
Chberg and he has begun to look into the matter with
the view of Strengthening out the tangled web
if possible Josiah Collins seems to think he has
the opportunity of his life and he proposes to pay off
old political and social at the expense of the
position

SEATTLE DAY

Speaking about the tempest in the teapot that IS
now raging among the '4O0 reminds the writer that,
Seattle Day. which the OF the city hao oecloeo
to help make bowling success, has been changed 10
September 18th. Now if this social war continues ana
the leading of the city decide to boycott the la
in social way then the exposition management can
put it in their pipes and smoke it that Seattle Day VIII
not come within fifty percent of being the success that
it would with the women taking active interest IN
it. There is no doubt but that the success OF Seattle
Day depends on the work the women do toward push
ING it along More than one woman has already felt
the power of Mr. Collins chastng hand and 1t is fa
ing so thick and fast these days that 1t IS becoming
very CALLING Mr. Collins, it is said, desired oeaICe
Day set for August oath and succeeded In having
it so set but the women protested and 1t went
over until Sept. 18th, which something OF VIC
tory for them which has given them some hopes tnat
the management will not be controlled wholly by MI
Collins as to the social side of the show while others OF
them have despaired of being able to accomplish any
thing in the fight and have decided go to their sum-
mer camps and homes at an early date Not only does
Mr.. Collins propose to monopolize the distinguished
guests that visit the city during the life time Of the
exposition while on the grounds but he has come even
to the city and named the homes and hours that these
guests may be entertained and in most every instance
he has selected some person wholly unprepared to en-
tertan and expect the other ladies to forward
and make it success despite the fact they have been
snubbed rather than have the good OF the city So
cally besmirched Some of them may be SO foolish
as to do So but excuse me- from one lady, and
from the look of contempt that her face was
plain to be that in few weeks more she would be
quietly resting in her summer camp not giving snap
of her finger whether the exposition social sue
cess or not

TAKE SCHIvELY TO COURT

sTf the legislature is being called together ostens
blv for the purpose of mpeaching John H. Schvely,
whv not an information filed against him in the courts
and have him tried for malfeasance in office, and if
convicted that would have vacated the office under the
constitutions If to drive bad man from Office is the
ultimate aim of having the legislature to assemble then
Gov Hav could have saved the state the vast expense
that will naturally follow the convenng of the legsa
ture by the simple plan of using the courts instead OF
the LEGISLATURE came from well known politician
one day this week. If the legislature is being assem-
bled for the ostansble purpose of having Mr. Schvey
tried for mafeasance in office and if the governor has
no other object fer assembling the members of the leg
isature then there is doubt but That IT is financial
mistake bur it occurs to us that, there are bigger
fish to fry than Schvey despite the fact the fire of
the investigation has been directly chiefly at him. The
tax PAYERS for the most part of the opinion that
there are more rotten places IN the state government
than in the office of the state insurance commissioner
and they want the legislature to probe into all OF them
and make wholesale cleaning out OF the pollt-
ica stables Senator Hutchinson is still sticking to his
text that the Medical Lake insane asylum management
is rotten that the building recently completed there
has the ear marks of graft connected with 1t and 1T too
should be looked into There are hundreds OF men in
the state of Washington that have doubts in their
minds but that the Washington State College at Pull
man is in bad shape financially and whether not the
investigating committee reports anything wrong the be-
lief is firmly fixed in the minds of the tax payers and
they want to see it thoroughly overhaued 1t is
hinted that the University of Washington is not just
what It should be and an overhauling there might
be out of place. Suppose the extra session does cost
the state $50 600 and it to the state multiplied
thousand of dollars it would be cheap at that We in

PILES IN POLITICS
cess or not.


The men who ran for the Republican nomination of
county treasurer last year, but who were beaten by
George F. Russell who entered the at the eleventh
hour, are now asking themselves it trick of edg
erdemain in political box that was played on them
The supreme court has confirmed the lower court in de-
clarng that Matt H. Gormerly should hold for two
ensuing years. despite the fact that his term ended last
January and it is this latter decision that has caused
the other fellows to set up and take notice The other
candidates for the nomination asking each
other what part did Senator Piles play in the game?
and who did he desire to punish when he threw Russell
in the fight at the last minute but subsequently named
him postmaster before it possible for him to qualify
for the office to which he had been duly elected by the
voters of the county. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN new
er doubted for single minute, but that Capt Gormley
weud hold office for another two years and Sen Piles is
too much of lawyer not to only believe that he would
but actually know it. Whether not he was party
to the affair not known to the average citizen and to
not even those who were candidates against Mr. Rus
SELL but they are beginning to feel that he did and
thev are making dire threats against him at this time
The county commissioners named Pete Smith for the
lob and Pete is part Of the south district combination
and his failure to become county treasurer has but
forged another link in the political chain that will yoke

SULLIVAN ESTATE DISTRIBUTED

After ten years of strenuous litigation the estate Of
John Sullivan who it is claimed, died intestate, has
been divided between the lawyers and the sharks that
furnished the money to work the scheme From ap-
pearances all are satisfied and the incident far as lit
gation is concerned is closed Old man Sullivan to
all intents and purposes before he died afraid
that some body would get his estate that he refused to
name beneficiary and no sooner was he dead than
the war for his money began In the struggle the at
torneys if no mistake made has gotten about eighty
per cent of the entire estate and if the story Is true
the other twenty cent has gone to egtmate heirs
Even the prosecuting attorneys office makes bones
declaring that Edward Corcoran far from being
the rphtfu heir to the estate any of the others that
have made application for it the grounds of being
relatives of the late John Sullivan.
