The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1905-09-22

The last legislature passed what is
known as the compulsory school law
which requires the steady attendance
of all children between the ages of
eight to fifteen years of age. This law
requires the attendance during the en-
tire time that school is in session. AS
the authorities say that they will rigid
ly enfocce this law. we present it to our
readers so that they will know what
the law really does require.
Section l. All parents, guardians,
and other persons in this state having
or who may hereafter have the inn
mediate charge of any child from the
age OF eight to fifteen years; shall cause
such child to attend the public schools
of the district in which the child re-
sides, for the full time in which such
school shall be in session, or for the
same time at private school. unless
the child is physically unable to attend
or has already attained,a reasonablepro-
ficiency in the branches required by
law to be taught for the first eight
grades of the,schools of this state, or is
otherwise being furnished with the
same education, or has been excused
from such attendance for some other
sufficient reason by the superintendent
of schools OF the district in which the
child resides, if there be such superin-
tendent, and in all other cases by the
county superintendent of the common
schools.

He Never Called Again.

The following story is told on young
society man of an eastern town. He
had decided to make his Dulcina an
appropriate present, and as she had
beautifully moulded hands and arms he
thought pair of those long mousquit-
oire gloves would be duly appreciated.
He took his sister along to help him
make the proper selection. Now it so
happened that his sister, on this same
occasion, and without his knowledge,
purchased a pair of handsome lace
striped hose for herself. The two pur-
chases were sent to the wrapping room
and when returned. by one of those un-
kind cuts which providence occasion
ally deals out to mortals, the package
containing the gloves was given to the
sister and the one containing the
hosiery was handed to the gay young
Lo fhario.
Along with the package he sent The
following note:
81 am sending you little present
Oh, how | wish that no other hands
than mine would ever be permitted to
touch them after you put them on!
But alas! score of fellows may touch
them when am not by your side, and
other eyes than mine may see them

parties. bought the longest pair |

can let them wrinkle down. A great

clean them easily, dear. with benzine,
If you leave them on till they dry. l

with love,
"Alfonzo."
1t need hardly be said that Alfonzo
did not call Tuesday night, or any
other night, ''to see how they fit"
Shortly after his inamorata got his note
he was headed for the brush and has
never been heard of since.
You probably saw an account in the
daily papers short time ago OF
young man leaving home, without any
known cause, who has never been
heard of. This was that young man.

One OF the prosperous fruit farmers
met an elderly man from st. Paul few
days a GO at the depot.

was telling him what profits the peo-

One Of the Best Known Of Devetees Of

One Of the best golfers that ever laid
out course or drove a ball was old
Tom Morris. They called him "old"
to distinguish him from his son, who
was the most brilliant player of his
time. and to whose memory a nne
monument was erected over his grave
in st. Andrews. Once. when old Tom
was greenkeeper at Prestwick. in Ayr
shire, he took part In a foursome. his
partner being Capt. Wolfe Murray.
Next day the postman handed Tom q
letter simply addressed to THE Mis-
ser Of Short Puts, Prestwick." This
shows how well known Tom was, and
also what had been wrong with
his play in the match. When
the question of Sunday play was
being discussed, Tom was asked
for his opinion. ~Well," he
said. "if man doesna need a rest.
ken the green does" He retired from
the post of greenkeeper to the Royal
and Ancient Club Of St. Andrews at
the age of so years. but in spite of his
great age. played a fine game to the
very last.

Africa. From Morocco to Tripoli one
sees most Of the slaves well content

to eat and drink and the future has no
meaning at all. There is promotion;
there are confidential missions to

manumission when the owner dies

Men are righteous. men are bad,

How can life be reckoned sweet

Whether the world Is kind or cold
Depends upon the job you hold.

II no fair gems bedeck your wife.

c.. Together and Stick Together


The Fifteenth General Assembly,
whioh closed its regular session Of
ninety days last night, neglected
many opportunities to make a credi
table record. As . matter Of course,
there will be no extra session.
Undoubtedly great many mem
bers in both houses endeavored to do
their duty honestly and intelligently,
but there were others who seemed to
regard . public trust as . private
graft, and they had sufficient influ-
snos ON occasion to do q great deal
of mischief.
Much Of the trouble was caused by
the refusal Of minority Of the re.
publicsns in both house and senate
to abide by the will of the republican
majority in dealing with matters Of a
political nature. Some of these in
surgsnts were swsyed by ignorance
and spite, but most of them We fear,
were governed by graft.
With two thirds majority in the
Legislature, the republicans should
have settled all questions in strict
accordance with the principles and
policies of their party, without fric-
ton or difficulty of any kind, to the
great advantage of the state and the
organization. The few republican
senators and representatives who for
various reasons prevented the con-
summation of this plan of procedure,
deserve to be repudiated by their
party associates in the future.
Discipline and co operation are es
sential to party success, and the re.
publicans of Colorado must hold
their official representatives to q
striotsr accountability for their actt
in order TO maintain supremacy in
tho state.
Until the hateful spirit of faction
is eliminated from their party, the
republicans of Colorado should en-
body in everyone Of their platforms
and exact from every one of theil
nominees, = positive pledge OF obe
dienos to the will Of the majority a,
expressed in caucus.
II this sound and necessary rule
had been followed twoiyears ago Col
orsdo would now have a republican
United States senator, and if it hac
been followed during the late session
of the legislature the results achieved
would have been infinitely more sat
isfsotory to the people of Colorado
