German Singers
SECTION BRILLIANTLY
DECORATED FOR WEEK

Between 10000 and $1,000 people
were attracted to Washington Heights
last night to hear the Delaware Saen-
gerbund and the First Infantry Band
discourse music. More than a hun
dred members Of the Saengerbund,
lead by Professor Otto Wenzel. never
We're in finer fettlo their voices be-
ing pitched at the right tone so that
all heard the singers to the very edge
Of the crowd
The large turnout of people great
ly pleased the residents at Washing
ton Heights, who have gone to con-
siderable expense in decorating their
homes and the streets. Hundreds
of colored electric lights range along
the curb of several thoroughfares
and the sight is beautiful to behold.
In addition, the Levy Court has had
Washington street bridge decorated
and without question that section Of
the city is one Of the most attractive
points, and well worth going TO see,
particularly at night
The Saengerbund covered itself
with glory. as did the First Infantry
Band although It was easily seen
that the former was the big attraction
A delightful programme was given
and despite the fact that most of the
people could not understand the
words sung by the singers with the
exception OF one or two selections
the audience remained TO the end Of
the concert Professor Nenzel had
his singers under complete control
and his work IN addition. TO the abil-
ity displayed by this well known sing
ing organization was greatly appre-
ciatod.
Prior to the concert the members
OF number of German societies met
at the Turn Hall, and headed by a
band and the Delaware Saengerbund
marched to Washington Heights,
passing along French street, Market
street. Delaware avenue and Wash
ington street. After the concert
there was an "Old Home Week" cele-
bration at the German Hall in which
the members of the different German
societies participated IL was such
an affair as only Germans can hold
and everybody enjoyed themselves.
The opening selection at the concert
last night was by the First Infantry
Band Immediately followed by the
Delaware Saengerbund with that de-
lghtfu composition by c. Kreutzer,
Der Tag des Hern" (Shepards' Sun

SOME REAL LIVE ANARCHISTIC SUP
PORT
PORT.

One of Judge Hartford s warmest support
ers in Seattle is the Seattle Republican,
paper published, we are told, by several
Negroes The utterances of the paper have
for the most part indicated that they have
been written by intelligent men, but one
story printed in recent issue in defense OF
the spotless Hanford shows that they have
jumped the track of intellectually and seem
to be running amuck on the side track of
anarchy Charges have been preferred
against Hanford because he refused tG grant
a man by the name of Olsson naturalization
papers on the grounds that he was an an
archist, it is said The Republican comes
out for their champion the veteran jurist,
and says that Attorney Perry is character
assassin and that if it is proved that the
charges which Mr. Perry has made against
Hanford are false, then people should not
blame Hanford's sons if they should 'arm
themselves and shoot the life out of their
fathers maligner."
1t is too bad that the Republican editors
should resort to their jungle teaching and
preach anarchy of character bespeakng
their unftness for citizenship in this coun-
try IF they aren't careful Judge Hanford
will revoke their citizenship as he may con
slider it unsafe fer them to be at large.
If it has so happened that Attorney Perry
has made false charges we have courts for
the correction of such evils and no one who
has the good of the commonwealth in mind
will preach anarchy, murder and lawlessness
of the type referred to a as substitute for
legal procedure
Their very doing so might incline one to
believe that they did not have the greatest
faith in the integrity of the court which
they would uphold in such vigorous terms

does pose as a champion for just as square

THOSE CoLoRED DELEGATES.

The part the 'Ecolored" delegates played
in the Chicago Convention has been the top
les of discussion and newspaper comment
throughout Christendom. If they did hun
dredth part toward bringing about the NOM
nation Of President Taft that they have been
credited with, then they after all were the
real men Cf that convention, and the RoOse-
velt-La Toilette adherents should have
sought to put colored" delegates in charge
of their respective presidential campaigns,
instead of those who were. They would
have done we'll to have said as did Abraham
Lincoln, when informed by Grants critics,
he was drunk the most of the time, "Tell
me what kind Of whiskey he uses that may
send lot Cf it to more Of the Union gen
erals was the cutting reply OF the man
of sorrow There were sc colored delegates
in the Chicago Convention all from the south
and of that number sixteen were for RoOse
welt and openly fought Taft. If then the
fifty ''colCred delegates, who represented
nothing which is fact) as argued
leading paper, did all this, then the country

ical shrewdness in all her varied and various
history.
We do not believe the Republican party
should follow in the foot steps Of the De
mocratic party and disfranchise the colored
voter of the South, but we do argue and con
tend that the Republican party should cut
down the base of representation in the
South in proportion to the votes east for
members of the electoral college. Ii this
was done then there would be fewer color
ed or white delegates in the National Re-
publican Convention that nominated presi-
dents from the South where there are no
Republicans, in the general elections, and
at the same time there would be fewer votes
from the South in the electoral college to
elect a president The colored man has
peaceably submitted to his disfranchisement,
but he is not responsible for it taking a
thousand per cent NOR evotes in the North
to elect a member of Congress than it does
in the South. Quit cussing the "niggers
of the South for condition that you your
self refused to remedy because you did net
want to hurt the feelings of the Southern
Democrats, who would lose, if represented
in Congress in proportion to the votes cast
for their candidates, more than fifty per cent
of their present number. We believe the
cclored vote of the North is going to be
loyal to Taft in the November election, if
for no other reason than because he showed
more real friendship toward them than either
Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson.

less he came forward with the evidence and
it properly corrobCrated in proof Of what
he said about Judge Hanford. The article
did not advocate violence being done to Mr.
Perry by the sons Of Judge HanfOrd unless
there is no law on the statute book in case
he failed to prove his case, whereby he could
be punished When it comes to practicing
''iungle methods" then the practices Of our
ancestry will compare very favorably with
those of the ancestry of the editor Of the
Journal 1t was only few days ago that
the class of citizens of this country to which
the editor of the Journal is proud to boast OF
being a member, lynched woman who was
a member Of another class, weaker hun
dred times over both in numbers and In
standing than Themselves Any man alone
that will abuse woman Of any race, color
or class, is a brute of the lowest and most
despiceable type, but for them to form a
mob and lynch her is million times more
heathenish than HOtentOt in the jungles
of Africa and half-starved, would think OF
doing If there is so much law and order In
this country then we suggest that some of
those anarchistic leaders at the Dreamland
Rink meeting, who argued for tie ynching
of Judge Hanford, learn and practice some
of it. If Judge Hanford had broken the law
there was way to reach his ease, why did
they not resort to it. instead Of assembling
a mob and melting it to riot and rebellion.
We know that the articles appearing in The
Seattle Republican from time to time are
written by intelligent men" but it would
be a sad reflection Cn their intelligence II
The Seattle Republican would return the
compliment as to the Journal.
In spite of the rantings Of the opponents
of Judge Hanford, nothing as yet has been
brought out in the investigation to prove
that hundredth part of the hulabaloo that
has been made ever this matter need to have
been kicked up. Granted, the judge took
a drink, yes many drinks, even then he did
no more than the average judge all over this
country does Show us the judge that does
not take drink and we will prove to your
satisfaction that he is the exception and not
the rule. Granted that Judge HanfOrd vi
sited the ladies' even then he does no more
than any ether man, and in view Of the fact
he is a single man, what more could be ex-
pected It's all an attempt to make a noun
tain out of a mole hill because Hanford on
the bench has not pleased few wild eyed
anarchists of the Oliver T. Erickson stripe,
who do not know nor have never practiced
the first principles of patriotism. Let's be lib
eral, but at all times let's be fair to cur fel-
low man, for Hanford is only human and
does things as he sees them just as any other
hard headed Independent American citizen
does
The Seattle Republican., 1912-07-05

It's well that the Democratic party starts
out with Marshal for the protection of
Wilson as the wild 'ass" is liable to run
amuck before the battle is over and cool
headed captain to marshall the disorganized
