FRIDAY July Is, 1910

Rev. M. A. Matthews is away on his vacation,
which means that Seattle will have short breathing
SPELL Dr. Matthews really does not discommode any
one reigiousy or otherwise and the only objection
to him is his everlasting big l and little and his
Johnny Clancy disposition See Me.
ia L. Davies of Davenport, has just received his third
appointment state dairy and pure food commission
err and he has we'll merted all of them. He has made
an enviable record in the office.
J. E. Frost, one of the state tax commissioners,
has announced his candidacy for the Republican NOM
nation for representative in Congress from the third
congressional district. If he is successful the state
will lose most valiant official and for the good of the
state many almost hope he will not be successful in his
congressional fight. Yet that is hardly fair.
Big Bill Morris got the telegram from this office
and was home on time and was the most delighted
fight fan that went to Reno He says, "Jack Johnson
always had glad hand for persons visiting his camp
and few if any who visited him. but left his friend.
Cut Johnson's head off and bronze his body and you
will have the finest statue everschislled by man."
Senator Sam H. Piles had no sooner returned home
from Congress than he sounded blast from his poti-
cal horn and he were correctly quoted by the Seattle
Times the guantlet which he threw down at that tme
will be taken up by the friends and supporters of the
Hon. John L. Wilson and he, Piles, will wish he hadnt

Two colored women sat chatting with each other of
the beauties of Seattle as a street was whizzng
them through the city and quietly sat white man
observing them. Evidently he was full and overflow
ing with something which made him nervous and I'M
easy and so he went to the and asked them
their opinion of the Johnson-J eries fight to which they
made no reply. Then he let lose TRADE of abuse
about 'niggers trying to be as good as white folk
and whole lot of rot that would have made we'll
dog sick coored male passenger heard the colloquy
and tapped him the shoulder and said, let those
women alone they not disturbing YOU" That
was signal to begin another TRADE of abuse but it
was not of long Duration for it just minute later
when the conductor smilingly counted him down and
out as he put him off the street car where he fell

zone phase of the fight that has attracted my at
tention most of ALL" said Ed Drew of the Seattle
Theatre Company, IFS that the women all over the
country picked Johnson for the winner and those who
bet on the fight invariably bet him. That's
true" broke in Dad Russell of the same company,
'for lost three pair of gloves bet with my wife,
While l. too, believed Johnson would win, yet | would
not back down from banter she put up to me, and
especially since it all in the family and so put up
ten spot against bunch of gloves ard lost" Just
why the women should have picked Johnson to win
and their fathers brothers and husbands picked JEFF
fries is than the average can expainguness
it was intuition and that does not count for much in
contest of the manly art.

To demonstrate what he would do with niger"
that would talk impudent to him on account of the
victory of Jack Johnson. white man walked up to
another on a street car in Seattle one day
this week and began to give him just what Johnson
few days prior had given Jefries. The pounded man
thinking he had finally heard that much talked of
'cap of thunder out of clear sky could not for
second or so do much except take his medicine but he
soon came to himself and that defender of Jim JEFF

gotten for good many years and that is saying good

then the war did begin in dead earnest.

Prior to the great fight Rev. Reese of the First
Methodist church of Seattle heard to express him
self thusy on the fight: Il hope Johnson will pound
the very filling out of Jeffres when they meet. In
reply to question that then and there put to him
as to being opposed to prize fighting he said, land
so l am, and that is just why want Johnson to win,
and the game will be forever killed" WELL you got
your wish Doctor" was said to him after the fight
Yes, and was right in my prognosticaton?"

Gee but you must have won a lot of money"
chimed street urchin one day this week bunch
of fellows stood joking about the fight The urchn
had addressed his remark to we'll dressed colored
man, who was one of the party. why, my boy, :"
was asked him. cause you is colored man and
thought all de cullud mems bet on Johnsin." There
are more persons than that urchin that of the
opinion that the black men would bet Johnson for
no greater reason than because he was black if
they thought he had no show to win. Hundreds of
black men lost money Jefries because they thought
he was the better man.

Professor Hamilton, who holds chair in the Uni
versitv of California in class lecture in Chicago the
day after the big fight, said he was convinced now
that the American Negro had the capacity mentally
and otherwise to do anything the Causasian could do
and he predicted in less than 300 years the Negro OF
the United States will have been absorbed by the
white man. THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN has always
maintained that that would be the outcome of the
much mooted problem in the United States 1t IS
utterly impossible to build up two great races in one
and the same territory and if the blacks thrive the
whites will proportonally degenerate andf the whites
continue to thrive as they will then the blacks must be
either exterminated by absorption or by violence or
be imported to other country and the latter IS
legally impossible

While backing white mans boots in the city of
Waa Walla the black boot black and the white custo

them into discussing the question of the United
States and soon they in heated debate and the
white man (being something of debater evident

O0bb|NS IS
OPPOSED
TO SALE

George Dobbins, the well-known
East State street property owner. is
opposed to the sale of the Central
school property and is advocating that
it be leased for a term of ninety mine
years.
Dobbins says he realized that there
are a number of East State street prop
erty owners who are opposed to the
sale of the school property, because
they think it will hurt East State
street as a business street.
He says he does not take such
narrow view of the situation. He says
that in his opinion it would not hurt
East State street in the least. Any
thing that is for the good of the city
as whole will help East State street.
should Lease Property.
However, he thinks that the school
city should have the advantage of the
increase in the value of property in
the next 100 years He says that he is
of the opinoin that the school city could
negotiate a loan for the necessary
amount to build the new school house
without selling the school property.
Fred Mott said today that he had
made something of a study of the ques-
tions involved in the sale of the school
property and is of the same opinion as
W. C. Belman.
He thinks fifty feet of the frontage
at the corner of Holman and Fayette
streets and fifty feet of the frontage
next to the Eder building. should be
sold now. That would make it un-
necessary to move the school building
and would provide the necessary
ount for the building of the new
s4Aool house.
The school city could then wait until
the present high school building is
worn out and then sell the remaining
120 feet of frontage

The weather man opened the cold

night and calmly announced that today
probably would be the coldest this sec

16 degrees above zero was his cheering
calculation of the minimum to be ex-
pected. And he desires 1t understood

THE STREET CAR HOG AND
THE MAN WHO STOOD

A man entered a local street car
today and after several efforts
suspended himself from one of the
straps that the company provides
for good passengers who don't
rush to crowd other patrons in
seats.
He swayed about the car like
pendulum, his gyrations bringing
him forcibly against a woman who
stood beside him. A man sitting
in front of the woman protested.
IF you don't like it, why don't
you get up and give the lady a
seat?" inquired the standee
"Oh, shut up; you're a drunken
BRUTE said the sitting protestant
"Yes, ? replied the brute.
Guess I'm drunk all right, all
right; but that's a temporary con-
dition, and I'll get over it. You're
a hog, and you can't get over
that"
The passengers smiled sympa-
thetically.

TOTALS DEATH IN LAKE
COUNTY IN 1909, 1,122.

From midnight to noon today six
people died in Indiana of consumption.
The white scourge took off another
three from noon today until 6 o'clock
this evening, and when the midnight
hour has arrived the plague will have
carried off another three. That's how
fast people die in Indiana of consump-
ton
Nowhere is this appalling fact
brought home with more force than
at the tuberculosis and adultered food
exhibits which are being shown free
to the people of Hammond in the su-
perior court house this week. A fact,
which is equally impressive, is that the
disease is preventable and that if Indi-
ana had made as much progress as
New York, for instance. the number of
deaths in Indiana, nearly 5000 last
year, would have been cut nearly in
two, for New York reduced its num-
Der last year as compared with ten
years ago, so per cent
Exhibitions Are Free.
The exhibits drew a good attendance
yesterday and a better one today. They
will continue until next Friday. DIR.
T. w. Oberlin, secretary of the Lake
county board of health who is coop
to make health week in Hammond a
success, tried to make arrangements
i, today for a public lecture. but was
not wholly successful because the COM
missioners are too busy.
DIR. VIM. King, who has charge OF
the tuberculosis exhibit. and Frank
Tucker, the state food inspector. who
has charge of the adultered food dis
play in the superior court room gave
their personal attention to the visitors
explaining the exhibits to the groups
or individuals.

Nathan Block, peddler. residing at
615 Sihley street, while driving south
on Calumet avenue this morning, was
struck by a west-bound passenger
train going at the rate of forty miles
an hour Block sustained q fracture
of the left arm and several bad cuts
about his head and body. No evidences
of internal injuries could be detected
Block was hurled a distance of fifty
feet, his wagon was demolished and
the horse, which was thrown rs feet,
was killed outright.
AS nearly as can be learned the horse
became unmanageable in front of the
gates which were down and breaking
them ran onto the tracks.
The accidents was witnessed by H.
W. Roberts of 1S5 Truman street, F.
Eisenhutt of 366 Sibley street and
Jesse living of 446 Morton avenue.
That Block escaped with his life is
considered most miraculous. The train

Outlook Dubious.

Manager Green. of the Hammond,
Whiting and East Chicago line, is
doubtful whether the Harvey extension
Will be built until next spring. The
delay is due to the fact that the East
ern Illinois Traction company, which
is the corporate name of the Illinois
company. is unable to cross the rail-
roads between here and Harvey.
Green said that the matter is up to
the courts for settlement and that he
did not know when it would be set
tied. This will delay improvement
which is very badly needed

KnOERzER
WILL BUILD
IN SPRING
Another Handsome Store
and Office Building to Go
South of Fayette Street
Next Spring; Other New
Buildings on the Way.

Otto Knoerzer, who purchased th1r-
ty feet of Holman street frontage at
the corner of Muenich court, today an
nounces that he will build a two-story
building on this property early in the
spring.
This adds another $4,000 store and
office building to the many which are
already projected for next spring. Mr..
Knoerzer stated today that he had
practically rented all of the main floor
space on his proposed new building
and would have no difficulty in renting
the upper floors.
The main floor space is to be divid-
ed into two ffteen-foot stores, with
a frontage on Holman street, and one
store 30x50, with a frontage on Niue
mich court.
The demand for stores and office
buildings is so great that when the
fact becomes known that a property
owner will build in a desirable loca-
ton he is besieged with prospective
tenants.
Kaufman & Wolf, who own fifty
feet of frontage on Sibley street, have
announced that if they do not sell be-
fore spring they will construct mod
ern building on their property. They
have sixty feet of frontage and will
probably invest $4,000 to $4,000 in a
building This will add greatly to the
appearance of this street
Anton Taper will not get out the
plans for his new hotel building until
the Monon railroad has completed the
new depot. This will give him def
mite idea of how his building may be
constructed to the best advantage
