The organization of the Progressive
Republican Alliance of the State OIL
| Washington, at convention held in
Seattle last week, injects new and
problematical element into the political
equation. Its influence cannot be es-
timated if the plans are well worked
out along the lines proposed. Its
composition is unique. The State
Central Committee appointed at the
state convention, consists of two Re-
publicans, one Democrat, one labor
leader and one representative OF
Organized Farmers" This last
phrase means the Grange, which by
its constitution is not permitted to
enter politics as an organized body.
The two Republicans on the State
Central Committee will appoint in turn
two Republicans from each county,
the democratic member democrat
from each county, the labor leader one,
and the farmer one, to constitute in
each county a county committee, on
which the various organizations and
parties will be represented in the same
proportion as on the State Committee.
The several county committees will in
the same way appoint the precinct
committeeman. The plan of proce-
dure is this: before the primaries, in
each county, all the Republicans who
are members of either the county or
the several precinct committees will
get together and endorse the Repub-
lican candidates of whom they.approve.
The democrats the same, and perhaps
the labor leaders. After the primaries
are held, then the whole committee
will get together without regard to
party affiliations and decide who shall
be the candidates of the whole Pro-
gressive Republican League. Three
points which the alliance emphasizes
are these: Direct legislation, clean
politics, and in national Legislation we
favor those who are generally known as
insurgents"

Salary Committee
Does Strange Stunts
Thursday, Feb. II, 1910

There are some city employees
and a good many citizens who de-
clare that for ways that are
dark and tricks that are vain" the
heather Chinese" is not in 1t
with the salary committee of the
council.
This committee is composed of
Eberly, Turn'bull, Kreger, Wilke-
son and Stewart.
Wilkeson has refused to attend
the committee meetings except o.
casionally and Stewart was not
given any consideration, so Turn
bull and Eberly and Kreger ran
things, with Turnbull and Eberly
doing the business.
Early in the history of the COM
mittee 1t took care of all the poll
ticians In the city service and
boosted their sa1,ries. When 1t
began to approach election time
they got busy to do something for
the laborers. The committee
agreed ON a lot of boostes but
when Eberly brought in the or
dinance the rest of the commit &c
did not recognize 1t.
Turnbull had gotten In his
work of venting spite on the light
department. The salaries of
eight out of nine metermen were
entirely eliminated. Only one
foreman instead of the three or
four now working were provided
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1910-02-17

for at all. The salary raises for
the electrician and his foremen
were entirely eliminated and the
light department was given a good
example Of what petty spite aud
political wirepulling can do.
Kreger pushed the ordinance
through because 1t boosted labor
ers and he wants their votes this
time. Now the light department
would pretty near have to close
down If 1t observed the ordinance
as no salary is provided at all Cor
eight metermen and three fore
men. The council has not taken
any action to remedy the mistake,
however. The electrician Is Ike
ing the men at work as 1t Is nece.,-
sary to run the plant, but there is
no ordinance provision for pay
ing them salaries.
Now the committee Is trying 70
get busy again. Chairman Eberlv
wants a meeting Friday night.
Stewart says he is disguised with
the whole thing. eff they will got
the whole committee together |
will attend, but II 1t is just going
to be Eberly and Turnbull again
1t Is no use for me to go. No
attention is paid to anything
say; they run the thing to suit
themselves and 1 might as we'll
stay at home" said Stewart last
night.

so far that the sight of them made
her feel creepy; and as he gesticu-

in evidence. He showed wonder
Iful capacity for fury, flying pas
sionately at all who said that his

to the aviation situation. So Vir-
ginia was relieved by his going
aft to convince the engineer that

kissing termination of the

race-betraying slip in his speech.
"To displeace you-the greatest
calamity"
II don't believe he feels it
much" said she.
Another misfortune" replied
he, mot to know what he's los
ing. Yes, he's an unfortunate
devil"
Virginia wished Wilmer back,
crooked thumbs, fury and all; for
no thumbs or voice could be so Of
fensive as the unrelieved presence
of Mr.. Silberberg, the head of the
Federated Metals concern, control
ling the copper, gold and silver
output of continent. He was so
insistent on little encroachments
upon her reserve, as he fused
about with rugs and deck chairs,
tucking her wraps about her as
they rose into the high south
blowing upper drift, constantly
touching her with his bediamond
fingers in little ways, his breath,
heavy with cigarettes, floating to
her like a Whit from some fetid
smoking-room. Virginia wished
herself anywhere away from Sill
berberg.
She felt herself thrown at his
head by her aunt. Little privi-
leges, which in another would not
have offended, seemed like the
unspeakable liberties of prospec-
tive purchasers with slaves offer
ed in the market. She was get
ting morbid and almost historical.
Silberberg's slight badness, run
ming up in shining coves from his
forehead. his well-groomed gross
ness of body, his oily black curls,
made of him beastly sultan
gtoating over the last Importation

pearance and behavior were not
Inherently bad-the situation
made them uncomfortable. Perhaps
Mrs. Shayne's tributes to his
greatness, and her emphasis on
him as an opportunity open to
Virginia, mere dependent, were
more chargeable with producing
this tension, of which Silberberg
was quite unaware, than anything
actually done by him.
80 you think, Aunt Marie" she
said, chat Mr.. Silberberg is one
of the great ones of the earth ?"

Sbayne. "He is retaining and in

Chas. Sheldon, the Chicago
youth of %, whe tote salvation
Nell"~in 1909, tried to write on
the southern question in 1910, and
the New theater management pre-
sented the play in New York.
The story of the piece is that
Philip Morrow, after he has be-
come governor of Kentucky,
insists on signing a prohibition
bill, and the distillers, one of
whom is an old friend of his fam
lily, prove that he is part negro,
and half brother to vile negro,
whom Morrow tries vainly to
save from being lynched, after a
terrible crime. Georgiana Byrd,
Morrow's sweetheart, at first re-
pulses him, but later she begs him
to marry her.
In the final scene, while she is
pleading with him in his office to
keep secret the fact that he is part
negro, he steps out onto the bal
cony and announces the fact to a
great throng. He intends to de-
vote his life to uplifting the color
ed race, and this declaration ends
the play.
There isn't lesson in the whole
play, but it is a fine picture of
southern life. Guy Bates Post
plays Morrow, and Annie Russell
plays Georgiana Byrd. One scene,
In which hunted negro crawls
from the blood of q girl, was so
realistic as to be almost unendur-
able. Sheldon has never explained
why he used so bald and unpleas-
ant a title as "The Niger" It is
certain that IL any other manage
ment than that of the New thea
ter had presented the piece, less
1arring name would have been
chosen. The New thaater can
stand for 1.-THE Niger" The
New theater js Independent.

ALTHOUGH the House of Delegates OF
the next West Virginia Legislature will
have Democratic majority OF about thir-
ty, the State Senate will be a tie, and
there may be considerable difficulty in or
ganizing that body Under the ConStitu-
ton, the oldest Senator in point OF service
will call the Senate to order, and the man
who has this duty to perform is Senator
Robert F. Kidd, of Gilmer county, a
Democrat. Both parties will, of course,
seek 10 control the Senate for partisan
advantage, and it is possible that there
may be much claShing. And yet this
should not be so. As the Senate is tie,
the fair thing would be to divide the Of
fees and committee assignments equally.
This would be sensible and right. As to
legislation, we are OF the opinion that the
masses of the voters are not as much in
tereSted in partisan measures as they are
in laws for the general good OF all the
people, and there should be no political
division of opinion on the enactment OF
such measures. We think that the Demo-
Gratis will make mistake il they fool away
valuable time in seeking partisan advan-
tage, for they can best make themselves
solid with the people by honestly attend
ing to the business OF the people regard
less OF politics.
We hope that the Democrats will act
so conservatively and fairly and SenSiblY
that the people, seeing their good works,
will keep them in power long after they
shall have a majority in both houses.
