The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1909-11-19

After having given the polit-
ical situation careful considera-
ton it is apparent that at present
the voters of Seattle are almost
to man lined up either for the
Gill or the Bouillon ideas. Some
few hundred may be in sympathy
with the Grifiths movement, but
this is seriously doubted. The
business men almost to a man
are for Gill in the absence of any
other candidate for the nomina-
ton having announced himself
and the laboring people are
largely for Bouillon, not because
they think he is such a great
man, but because they think he
has exposed a bit of municipal
corruption that otherwise would
not have been done and because
for the further reason that, if
there is a little bit, which Bouil-
lon has been able against odds to
dig out, there is a great deal yet
under cover. 1t is entirely too
long before the election for the
laboring vote to become active
in politics for they as rule do
not hold out. The captains of
industry in and about Seattle
will be able in the opinion of the
writer to convince a great ma
jority of the laboring men, who
now declare themselves for
Bouillon, that he will prove the
veritable bull in a china shop in
the mayors chair of Seattle.
That he will do so is the belief
of every we'll thinking man today
and that if he begins it then Sc
attle's great building improve
ment and other improvements
that men with money are con-
stantly putting in will suddenly
drop off and Seattle will be
deader than door nail.

POLITICAL POT--PIE

Bouillon and should Hoge or some
man of his financial standing get
into the fight it looks as if Bouil-
Ion would be the successful can
didate for the nomination. The
Billy Moore big stick is being
used in Republican circles very
effectively thus far and in Bouil-
Ions favor. His supporters are
declaring that, if he or some
other man of his political faith
and belief is not nominated they
will go almost in a body to Billy
Moore or George Cotterill, one of
whom will be nominated by the
Democratic party.

Republican legislation in this
state, particularly with reference
to the direct primary law, has
been miserably wretched beyond
description. Now the supreme
court has knocked out some of
the illegal features of the
amended law including the pro-
vision to compel a voter to de-
signate his party utilization at
time of registration. - Yakima

Senator Cummings, of Iowa, is
making national history. How
ever, it is history of much the
same character as that made by
James B. Weaver some twenty
five years ago and that of Will
lam Jennings Bryan during the
past ten or twelve years. The
trouble with Mr.. Cummins is
that he is attempting to force
the Republican party to father
the rantings of all the political
monstrosities of the past and

Politicians in the heat of party
strife not unfrequently say bitter
and unjust things for which,
when the passion born of conflict
is over, they are sorry. But
however genuine the regret it
cannot undo the harm which
such ungenerous or unjust speech
may have done. All this might
be avoided if politicians would
but pray the prayer of the late
Governor Johnson of Minnesota,
"Spare me from the bitterness
and the sharp passions of un-
guarded moments.

he proposes to get in and try to
ruin them politically. Gosh,

It is almost the concensus Of
opinion in Seattle that the school
system here is the most ineffec-
tive, so far as teaching the chill
dren is concerned, of any city on
the Pacific Coast. 1t however,
is quite long on salary grading
at least for the superintendent,
the secretary of the board and
the salaried army connected with
the system. The schools of the
city have been in the hands of
the present diumverate so long
that Secretary RUDE Jones, dol
lars to doughnuts, without re-
ferring to his private hooks,
could not tell what his salary
was when he was first employed.
That the children are not get
ting a square deal in the school
rooms is the belief of hundreds
of persons just as well educated
as Supt. Cooper or Secretary
RUDE Jones. A board should be
elected that would give Cooper
and RUDE their walking papers.

be poor politician and do many
things to his own political detri-

never believe that Piles knew
anything as to the contents of
that remarkable political inter-

Sunday. L. H. Gray may have
asked favors of Senator Piles
and he may have gone off half
cooked because such favors were
not granted him, but even at

threatened to read confidential
letters that passed between him
and Gray on the stump as a vim

pursued or as condemnatory to
the course Gray has pursued,

A GREAT CELEBRATION.

This has been memorable year in
the history of America. 1t has been
crowded full of "reminiscences worthy
of the thought and attention of great
people.

birthday of its greatest and most be-
loved statesman and president, Abra.

Come Now, Who Is II.

Sioux City Tribune: About the
meanest man / ever heard or read Of
was the one down at Norfolk the other
day who led his wife into the belief
that he was taking the Kelley cure
when he was taking nothing but water
and whisky" remarked Edward Nor.
ton of Norfolk, at the Boyd.
He drank quite good deal and his
wife insisted that he take the cure.
She had saved considerable money and
was willing to give this to him IL he
would only get cured of the curse.
"He accepted the money, but regard.
ed 1t as a disgrace to go to a Kelley
institute, but he had arranged to pur.
chase the cure in bottles and take It
at home,
"One day he appeared with big
bottle filled with white fluid. 1t was
labelled up nicely and he took IT dill.
gently three times day. OF course,
at the beginning of the cure he must
take little whisky, as was customary
in such cases.
He kept taking the cure right
along for weeks He also continued
taking the whisky.

something was wrong, the wife inves-
tigated the contents OF the bottle to
find that It contained nothing more
harmless than distilled water"

If it is really true that preparation
for war is the surest way to insure
peace, the world ought to be free from
wars for many years. While no war is
in progress at the present time and
there is no immediate prospect of in
ternational disturbance, it is never
theless true that never in the history
of the world were there such vast ar
maments and such universal prepare
tons for war as at this time. The ag-
gregate of money spent the world over
for war paraphernalia is an appalling
sum. What might not be accom-.
plished in the development of natural
resources and for the reform of social
ills if the money so spent could be
turned into these channels.
