THE SEATTLE REPUBLICAN
BRAINARD QUITS Pr.

Erastus Brainard has rendered his resig-
nation as editor-n-chief of the Post-lntel
ligencer and his successor, a Mr. Scott Bone,
of Washington D. c., selected, Be it said
to the credit of Mr. Brainard that he is one
of the ablest editorial writers in the West,
and so far as the state of Washington is
concerned is almost without peer on per-
sons and things, so to that extent the Pr.
is the loser Mr. Brainard, however, was
either born with a chronic crouch or he has
acquired it, and like Sam Weston, former
business manager of the 'P.-I., it's torture
to him to do a fellow-being kindly act.
If there is a drop of reciprocal blood in his
body no one seems to have ever discovered
it.. He always does the unexpected and
the local public need not be surprised if,
despite the nasty editorial fight he has been
involved with Col Blethen for the past
seven years, if he does not accept posi-
ton on the Times. His resignation IS
splendid thing for the acknowledgement,
a glorious thing for Seattle and King Coun-
ty, and the best thing that could have hap
pened for the Hon. John L. Wilson. Re
gardless of the causes that brought about
Editor Brainard's resignation we repeat,
it is good for all concerned that he is no
longer officially connected with the leading
paper of the Northwest.

COMMENT
NEGRO SOCIAL EQUALITY.

The Associate Press dispatches last
Wednesday reported DR.. William j. Thomp
kins, an eminent Negro physician of Kan
sas City, No. in public speech as saying:
"The black man abhors the mere express
sion of social equality as the white man
sees it. He asks no special favors, but he
does ask for a square deal to make oppor-
tunities to be men" Thompson has voiced
the sentiment of every person in the United
States who is classed as Negro. There
is no distributor of social equality in the
United States and no man has the right to
demand social recognition Of another. Two
men may be business partners and yet So
callv may not be even on speaking &C
quantance. When, however, the black men
are given square deal by the white man
his fellowman, whether white, black, brown,
red or yellow, they will socially regulate
themselves Congenial spirits will fra
ternize and no barriers can prevent
them. Custom in this country has
been and is still able to embarrass
the white man that finds a boon COM
panion in black man, however congen1al
he may be, but that custom fortifcation
will sooner or later fall and men, irrespec-
tive of their complexion, will be recognized
for their merit and worth by those men,
who are natural born leaders of men. The
white man who seeks to force himself into
the society Of those who do not want him
is as much a persona non grata as the
black man. Let the intelligent white man
recognize merit and worth in the black man
and he will take care of himself socially and
that, too, without any assistance from the
white man.

THE TIMES ANNIVERSARY.

In celebrating its fifteenth anniversary
under Col Alden Joseph Blethen, the Times
expended perhaps a round thousand dollars,
thus demonstrating that though the Times,
which was a mere shadow when it became
the property Of the Blethens, is now gold
mine 1t is declared by those who ought
to know that the Times is worth $750,OOO,
and that its earnings has enabled its pres
ent owners to acquire real estate that is
worth round million dollars. 1t does not
seem possible for newspaper to make such
rich returns in so short time, but there
is no doubt of it having done so, for the
Blethens came to Seattle practically penni-
less. The question is, could such be ac-
complished by doing business on the square
and in the open? and the answer is, No
1t is the consensus of opinion of every one
that has observed the Times under its pres
ent management, that its editorial bludgeon
has been a hundred times more responsible
forward business methods For years ugly
things have been said about the strong arm
methods of the Times, which finally cul-
minated in its owners being indicted by the
grand Jury, which now hangs over their
heads, and it is limited that this recent
demonstration was for the purpose of ere
ating sentiment for the Blethens on the
eve of their trial.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1911-08-18

James K. Vardeman, the U. S. senator
elect from Mississippi, is a political freak,
who has climbed into prominence by ding
ing after the Negro of that state, who went
down and out in 1876, when the old radical
party was overthrow. Since that time
there has never been any excuse for the
question of "nigger dominancy" playing
part in any campaign, and yet that imbecil-
ic old fossil has used it in all of his cam
paigns and even in the editing Of his week
" publication and succeeded in riding into
office and likewise into handsome bank
account on it. In his late campaign he
posed as the Great White Chief and at a
barbecue at MERIDIAN, which closed his
campaign, and at which something like TO-
900 whites were present, he appeared on the
grounds dressed in spotless white, in pure
white chariot, which was drawn by seven
tv-five white oxen and each was ridden by
a white man. Proceeding this picturesque
pageant of p1utocratic prejudice were hun
dreds of white girls dressed in white, shout
ing the Great White Chief approaches. The
speech this old demagogue delivered at that
time did not touch the local or national
questions but dealt absolutely with fear OF
niger dominancy.

Robert Evans, the slayer of Judge R. w.
Prigmore, has not been taken into custody
by the sheriff of Skagitt county and the
question arises, why should he be favored
anv more so than similar offenders of the
law against hunter shooting at a noise
to find he has killed human being. Evans
has broken the law and deserves the same
kind of punishment for it as others.

FRIDAY, Aug. Is, 1911

by the time court convenes will be badly
congested and wild scramble on the part
of the attorneys to get their cases set for
as early date as possible will be INDUCED
in It's simply wonderful the number of
differences between persons that find their
way into the courts for adjudication. 1t is
said that there are 400 lawyers in Seattle
and the immediate vicinity, all of whom
courts. In other words something like Is
per cent of the earnings of the country is
claimed by those who represent clients in
the various courts.

Tohn L. Wilson did not knock Gov. Hay
in his Aberdeen speech before the State
Press Association, and those editors who
persist in saying he did are doing SO for an
opportunity of themselves knocking the
governor over Senator Wilson's shoulders
1t, however, is a fact that Senator Wilson
criticised the Republicans for electing men
to office, who did not have back bone
enough to stand up for the party after they
had been elected.
