Bench And Bar.

When Oscar Collins, who was
being tried for conducting a
gambling game one day last
week, the penalty for which is a
term in the state prison, went on
the witness stand and swore that
the $105, which was seized by the
officers of the law, was not only
not his, but he knew nothing
about it, the concensus of opin-
ion is that he committed a crime
for which he should serve a Ion
ger term in the state prison than
for the gambling one. The pros
ecuting attorney was not mis-
taken about a gambling game
being conducted in the Collins
Club and it is hardly possible for
a gambling game to be conducted
in a mans club without him pro-
fitting therefrom. The notorious
gambling dives conducted by
Negroes in Seattle, in which
men are wilfully shot down, cut
to pieces and robbed should be
closed and closed Immediately if
not sooner.

to make the property bounded by

Ter Way on the south, Fifth ave-
nue. on the east and Third avenue
on the west, the most of which
property is already owned by the
city and county, a civic center
for Seattle, is full of meet for
ho1ght, and to our mind highly
meritorious. The property that
does not already belong to either
the county or the municipality
could be condemned at this time
for a reasonable figure and ten
years from today Seattle would
have civic center, the actual
value of which could hardly be
reckoned. There is some opposi-
ton to the measure because it
might add a few extra dollars to
the taxes, but it is so meritor,
ious that no man that in any way
plans for the future of Seattle
should hesitate to give it his
hearty approval and support. A
good public measure should al

of whom it may have been faith

Speaking about the candidacy
of Judge Thomas Burke the Sc
attic Daily Times editorially said:
Hon. S. H. Piles withdraws
from senatorial aspirations in
favor of Judge Thomas Burke.
If Hon. John E. HUMPHREYS,
Hon. William Pitt Hrimble, Hon.
G. L. White-not to mention
Hon. John L. Wilson would do
likewise, there might be some
chance for the King county man
to cope with Hon. R. E. McCor-
mick of Pierce. 1t is about time
for Seattle to rouse itself to the
serious aspect of the senatorial
situation. l." All of which is alb
solutely correct and by the same
method of elimination the same
could have been as aptly said of
any of the other aspirants for
the senatorial toga. We dare
say that despite the fact that the
candidacy of John E. HUMPHREYS
is looked upon as a huge joke,
yet if King county would elimi-
nate all of the other candidates
and get behind him with the
true Seattle Spirit he would win
the fight, but she is not going to
do it not only for HUMPHREYS but
for no one else. Here is a case
where every tub will have to
stand upon it's own bottom and
every hoop bear it's own burden.
There will at least be three SEN
atorial candidates from King and
each of them will have to battle
for King county the same as for
any of the other counties. The
bugle call has been sounded-go

The editor of the Times is
again between the devil and the
deep sea-more plainly speaking
in a hell of a fix. He for some
reason had taken political UNI
bragg at Senator Piles (no more,
however, than everybody else
seems to have done) and had
from time to time poured cold
water on any thing that had for
it's object the reelection of Sen
ator Piles and became a constant
booster of Judge Burke. Piles
finally decided to step down and
out and Judge Burke decided to
step into his shoes, but neither
one of them gave the Times an
opportunity to make that an
nouncement simultaneously with
the P.-I., which, look on it as
charitable as you will or may,
was political snub. Even if
the Times was cognizant of the
modus procedure the public was
not and in their minds the Times
was overlooked because Judge
Burke realized that his candi-
dacy would be greatly handi-
capped by permitting Demo
cratic paper to announce him,
which places Blethen in an awk-
ward situation or using the vul-
gar vernacular Of the street ur-
chin, lin a hell>of a fix"

81 told you So" Before Sen
ator Piles had been home from
Washington City a week The Sc
attic Republican predicted he
would never file for the United
States senatorial nomination. No
it had not been given a tip by
some one in whom he had con
fided, but it knew from the po-
litical blunders he had made and
from the pulse of the public
touching his denomination that
so soon as he returned home and
got an inkling of the sentiment
of the people as to himself he
would see the hand writing on
the wall and throw up the
sponge. The editor of The Sc
attic Republican may be barred
out of the political game, but he
has watched it played SO long
that, he is able to call the turn
on those in the game nine times
out of ten. Senator Piles is a
fairly brilliant man, but a poor
politician hence his twenty-four
year term in the U. S. Senate
dwindled to a six year term.

HUMOR OF THE LAW

Senator Depew was discussing
the tendency of the senate to in
dulge in a long tariff debate.
ct reminds me of a story
Evarts used to TELL" said SEN
ator Depew. 1T was his favor
tie story. The sum and SUBJ
stance of it was this: Up on his
farm, he had an old man named
Simmons employed. Simmons
used to saw wood and do various
odd jobs. While he sawed he
talked to himself increasingly.
It amused Evarts greatly, and
one day he said:
Simmons, why is it you are
always talking to yourself?'
WELL answered Simmons,
I like to hear a sensible man
talk, and when a man talks |
like to see him have a sensible
man to talk to.
THAT" observed Senator De-
pew, lis the way with the SEN
ate of the United States. It
feels about itself just as Sim
mons did"

Judge Frederick E. Crane, theV
young and brilliant jurist who
presided over the Jenkins Hams
trial, has a way of illuminating
with an apt anecdote a point he
wishes to make.
In one of the early cases he so
brilliantly conducted before his
elevation to the bench, Mr.. Crane
said to an obstinately reticent
witness:
"You seem bent on giving the
court all possible trouble. You
are like the man who sat in the
dock one Sunday morning with
bandaged head.
" Prisoner said the magis-
trate to this man. you are
charged with having been drunk
and disorderly. What say you
guilty or not guilty?'
That's wot you're paid to
find out, growled the prisoner.
I amt got no call to help ye do
yer work. "
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1909-12-03

Now that Senator Piles has
willed that his senatorial mantel
fall on Judge Thomas Burke and
thereby become his successor the
question is, will it do it? In
other words, will the people ex-
ecute verbatim ct literatim Sen
ator Piles political will. It's an
easy matter for one in power to
step pown and out Of power, but
in STEPPING down and out can
they have the people place into
power a man of their liking?
Being already in the senate it
was perfectly natural that a
great many voters preferred to
support Senator Piles, under the
belief that he would be able to
do more for the state than a new
man, but if a new man is to go
to the senate the people will feel
inclined to think they are as we'll
qualified to select a candidate as
Senator Piles and will therefore
not feel disposed to give his
recommendation very much con-
sideration unless such man seem
better fitted in every respect
than the other candidates.

In announcing his candidacy
for the senatorship to succeed
Senator Piles Judge Thomas
Burke unblushingly declares he
is seeking the place because he
himself wants it and is not the
candidate of any clique, faction
or business mems aggregation.
He himself means to lay his case
before the voters of the state
and if they think we'll of it and
he is nominated and elected he
will represent them in the SEN
ate to the hest of his ability. He
will do all within his power to
hold up the hands of the presi-
dent, being in full sympathy
with his we'll defined public pol
icies. In his statements he is as
frank as he is fair and it is here
predicted that, it will make him
a great many votes. 1t can be
said of Judge Burke that he has
always proved himself to be a
friend't to the seemingly friend
less. He has never failed to re-
spond to the call of the distressed
as we'll as the oppressed AS a
humanitarian he has few equals

Two Old Liars

Rockhold, walked up in the night,
last week, to find that three Ne
gro men had entered his house,
and had the drop on him.
Thinking that robbery was
their purpose, Rockhold agreed
to let Them take what they want
ed-his money, watch, etc.
But the black devils meant
something more. They seized
the white man, bound him, hard
and fast; and then, one after an
other, they got into his bed,
with his young wife. All night
long. the husband lay helpless,
while these bestial black brutes
took turns with his wife.
(And we send missionaries to
AfricaO
AS morning broke, the frien-
zied white man was driven to a
most revolving bit of cunning.
Pretending to have accented
the situation" Rockhold asked
the Negroes to unbind him, SO
that he could go to his work.
They fell into the trap. They
united the ropes, and let the
husband go away-all three OF
the black men remaining with
his wife, whom they were still
forcing to submit to their helllsh
lusts."
We reproduce the above re-
voting excerpt from the Patrl-
arch of Seattle and it reproduced
It from Tom Watson's Jeffer-
sonian. Has a worse fabrica-
ton of cunning lies ever before
appeared in print? Think OF 1T
three Negroes tying a husband
and then the three alternatlvely
outraging the woman the re-
mainder of the night and until
late in the next day and then OF
their own free will untying the
man that he might go to his
work, while they remained IN
his house continuing their fiend-
ish crime, for which they knew
they would be burned at the
stake as soon as the man gave
the alarm and they apprehended.
Had the paper said those three
fiends committed the outrage on
the woman and left soon there
after and then the injured wo-
man released her husband and
he gave the alarm the tale would
have at least sounded feasible.
There are a great many very
criminal Negroes in the United
States and it is likewise a fact
that there a great many criminal
Caucasians, but such stories as
the above make good people
have their suspicious that Tom
Watson and Daddy Clayson are
bent on doing all black folk an
objectionable wrong rather than
endeavoring to bring the Grim
inal ones to the bar of justice.
Crime is crime and the cowardly
criminal who outrages a woman
whether he be white, black, red
or yellow should be punished to
the limit, but to convict a man
of crime because he belongs to a
race against whom you are pre-
JUDGED proves the judge and the
Jury be even more criminal than
