about hying-its gorgeous.
A ND that's what two other women
out at the race track say. They're
wives of two OF the motorcyclists who
have taken them once or twice for
spin.
Champagne is the only substitute
for IT," Mrs. Harry Swartz, who is
a bride of only three weeks, confided
To me. Then: Not that know much
about champagne. but / have heard
people tell how it made them feel"
Mrs. Swartz is only about as big
as a minute, and looked like a young
doll while she was sitting up on the
hig shelf of a dressing room on the
racing grounds where the rain had
driven us to a hen party and an ex-
perienee meeting.
Right here. don't overlook those
wives, please! There are four of them,
and they are just as important as
the nine men Of the crew who are get
ting so much talked about.
They're perhaps more interested IN
the races than anybody else, and
they're as happy a bunch as you
could find around in this neck OF the
woods. Every morning while their
husbands are practicing breakneck
speeds they are out watching them
do it,
'ER ELIEVE me. if anything happens

She has several times called him of

another time his tire punctured just

again a hard death has always ap-

things about YOU afterwards)
Ten minutes after I had been in

left the world behind and took TO

OF eighty miles an hour
Portions Of me were stretched back
over the running gears as I went
We were stuck TO the surface and,
travelling head-outward like the ordi-
nary house -fly-only faster. and we
were looming around curves at a
rate that would have taken the breath

II the track hadn't been circular
and kept us inside. at the speed we
were going. We would probably have

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1913-01-17

Washington s thirteenth legislature is well unedr
headway. It was organized as predicted herein
last week. It has listened to Gov. Hays farewell
message and to Gov Listers inaugural speech and of
course was delighted with both. Senator Piper in
troduced the first bill, which was to appropriate
$4,000 to defray the expenses of the session and
the same was passed without debate or delay. The
bill introduced by Representative Victor Zednick for
a no-partisan primary and election should be killed
The passage of such would be another step
in the direction inaugurating popular government
which would finally result in political chaos.
The bill introduced by Representative Wray
creating the office of register of wills in King
county, the official for which be selected by the
superior court judges, and that estates valued at
$1,000 an dunder be administered without the en-
ployment of attorneys, is good and just measure
and should become law. 1t is a notorious fact the
administration of small estates of the amount men
toned above eats up all the cash If person desires
to dispose of his her property before death there
should be less red tape about it getting into the
hands of the proper persons.
Norton s Teachers Pension Bill is a vicious
ure and if passed opens up the fool gates to the
pensionng of every person who thinks he she
has been especially designated by High Heaven to do
those things, for which they amply paid The
teachers of the state of Washington get about
much pay for the work they do as any other class
of professionals artesans and that should suffice
Whoever it was that introduced the bill for the
repeal Of the law requiring judges of the superior
court to gowns while OH the bench, to have
been too cowardly to attach his or her name to the
bill. There is nothing wrong in judges wearing
gowns on the bench and the gowns certainly give
them dignity that commands respect and if
they do not the gowns do real harm and why want
to repeal the law To waste time in quibbling
such bills is wiIful waste of the tax payers money
It perhaps waste of time and money to pass
it, but now that it is passed. let it alone

STATE PRINTERS JOB

1t matters mot who names the committee to
investigate the state printing Office just such
committee is named and honestly executes its work
There is denying the fact that every state
printer In the history of the state of Washington has
gone out Of the office Independently rich, every dollar
of which he made out of the office O. C. White, the
first state printer when he took charge of the
office was poor printer but when he retired, he
was worth over 100000 all of which he made out
of the office. This is not rumor but actual fact
Gwn Hicks, who prior to his election state printer
was SO poor that he would not cast shadow in the
sunshine in four years left the office worth almost
as much as his predecessor The next state printer
G. w GOrham, newspaper man of SnohOmsh
whose yearly earnings would mot pay the taxes
his valuable realty holdings in Seattle, the money
to purchase which he made out of being state
printer He himself will hardly deny that he cleared
up 100000 year out of the office and above
salary he set aside for himself for managing the
business. Immediately after retiring from the office
he bought real estate in Seattle running high into
the six figure mark That Boardman the present
state printer, took charge of the office in a peness
condition, is well known to all who knew him, but
he had not been in the office than year before
he begun the erection of apartment house in
Olympia, and he is of considerable means,
despite the fact, it is rumored he had to cut the
proceeds of the office with two other politicians No
should be permitted to make much money in
short time at the expense of the tax payers.
If private party make much, then the state
do the thing, and dollar saved is always
dollar made. If the state let it's printing work
at less than it do the same for using it's own
plant, then the same rule ought to apply to every
other department. What the tax payers want is

COL. BLETHEN's CHIMES

The most inappropriate gift that Col BIethen
could have thought of to give the state university
was those chimes about which much has been
said and written. 1t the fact that every day.
every hour the students and the people of Seattle
would be reminded of the shameless character of the
donor, man utterly without honor, decency or
virtue Whenever Col. Bethen raises his voice or
exerted what influence the Seattle Times may have
had, 1t was in behalf of evil and wrong doing Every
body remembers how the Times raved when Hillman
and Wappenstein put trial and sent to the
penitentiary, and how since has endeavored to
create sentiment in favor of their pardon Every
body remembers how Blethen was indicted for being
mixed up in and proftng in the white slave traffic
and yet wonders how the prosecution was mysterious
y dismissed just before the campaign began last year
1t irritates decent to think that there are
such men as Blethen That's why the boys did not
want the chmes-Leavenwort Echo

1t might not be wholly out of place at this time
to give the professions of the men who were subse-
quenty elected president of the United States which
follows:
Washington, planter John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, An
drew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, John Tyler James
K Polk, Mlard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce James
Buchanan Abraham Lincoln Rutherford B. HAYES.
James A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Grover Cleve-
land, Benjamin Harrison, William Mckinley and
William III Taft lawyers; James Monroe and Andrew
johnson, statesmen; Zachary Taylor and Ulysses S.
Grant, soldiers; Theodore Roosevelt public official
In early life John Adams and Cleveland as well as
Garfield and Arthur pedagogs. While John
Adams Jefferson Madison and Monroe wrote ex
tensively public questions and have contributed
valuable works to the history of their country they
were not by any means professional literary men,
While ex-President Roosevelt also has written manv
volumes on political and other TOPICS he has never
been considered purely and simply as belonging to the
profession of letters Woodrow Wilson is classed
as the only true literary that has been elected
to the presidency

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON

Rumor has it that Dr. Kane of the University Of
Washington has prevailed upon his friends in the
legislature to threaten to block the appropriation for
the University unless the agitation against the BIethen
chimes and himself be Immediately stopped Even
the failure of the legislature to make the necessary
appropriation for the mantainance of the university
for the next two years would not be great
calamity the continuance of Dr. Kane at the head
of the institution. What the University of Wash
ington needs above everything else is change Of
administration. This can be done DR.. Kane is
only hired from year to year by the board of
regents, he having been considered by the
regents as sufficiently broad guaged to be perman-
emily placed at the head Of the school, and there
fore hired by the year with the view of making a
change suitable found.
Some two years ago DR.. Kane, goes the story was
notified by the regents that there a number of
persons, members of his faculty, far qualified
to handle the affairs of the institution than he and
unless he braced up he would have to 60 DR..
Kane, however, is asitute politician and with the
aid of his political 'fessus he has been able to
hold on to the job though totally unfit for it. Gov.
Lister should give the University affairs his close con
sideratiOn and to it that the present regents
let Dr. Kane out appoint regents that will do So

BLEEDING KANSAS

Once again "bleeding Kansas has experienced
complete political revolution and she is now in the
hands of the Progressives. No state In the Union
has been subject to so violent and radical political
changes as has Kansas She came into the Union
in reign of blood and revolution and the slightest
civic disturbance her to rock and reel like
drunken man. The last of Kansas territorial days
she was controlled by the Democrats but she came
into the Union a violent Republican state, and re-
manned so until she took the prohibition fever which
permiated every point and place of the state Under
the prohibition excitement, Mr.. Click, Democrat,
was elected governor She swung back to he
pubcanism but took the Pounist fever and suffered
from that aiment for a number Of years. Then again
she returned to her first state love and there re
mained until she caught the Progressive fever, which
now has her in it's grip. Whether the swayng OF
public sentiment in Kansas is to be commended or
condemned public sentiment outside of Kansas has
not fully determined Whether her citizens are think
ing unthinlng folk is likewise debateable ques-
ton Whether her sudden changes OF heart bring
fortune or misfortune to the state is also very
debatabIe question. But regardless OF what others
think of Kansas, she does she desires whether 1t
pleases or displeases the other fellow.
