The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1905-06-30

Entirely too little respect is
shown for law IN America. In
every state we find laws a nullity
for policy's sake. Such a thing
is unknown in any other land.
Disregard of one law breeds dis
respect for all law. In allowing
some laws to go uninforced, we
reap a harvest in having all laws
broken. The law may not be to
ones liking, but the answer, "It
is the law, should be sufficient
for the law abiding. Good men
will observe even the bad laws,
but bad men will even break
the good laws. 1t should be
that all men, good and bad, be
compelled to keep all law, good
or bad, because it is the law.
How careless people usually are
as to whether laws are enforced
or not This lotlargy gives rise
to civic evils. Indeed nearly all
public wrongs grow out of the
indifference of the people. -
Joseph w. Folk.

Every new home that springs
up because of the operation of
the national irrigation law will
be perpetual blessing to the
state, a new guarantee of the fu-
ture high manhood and woman
hood Of her people, 1t should
be the more earnestly attended
to, Tor about all the present
available land for homes IS al
ready appropriated, and with in
creasing activity in the mines,
the state will soon be importing
and paying out money for what
its own soil should produce. -

A sum Of about $25, 600, 600 has
already become available for IL
rigatjon work under the recla-
nation act and a large S az is
busily engaged in prosecuting
the national enterprise. With
due regard to the rights Of in
dividual states and the vested
rights of individual citizens, it is
the purpose Of the United States
to make the greater part Of the
arid waste fruitful and habitable.
The desert and the solitary place
seem to have met its con
queror in artificial irrigation.

Slowly but surely the United
States Department of Agricul-
ture is obtaining the control of
such matters as properly belong
to it. The federal forest pre-
serves, including timber sales
and applications for free use OF
timber and permits for grazing
live stock, have been transferred
from the Department of the In
terror to the Departmental Agri.
culture. The new law affects the
administration Of more than
sixty million acres of public

Chancellor Day, of Syracuse Uniyer-

for missions: "Giye me 800 900, and [
will take it without any pharisaism .
Stand up and define Pharisee, Cnan-
celior. Mr. Rockefeller sta7ds morally
and publicly convicted Of amassing
wealth by crushing competitors through
immoral conspiracies. Now, is it phar-
isaism to condemn a robber and TO re
fuse his spoil? Good Here, Chan

PANTY Christianity here. The moneys
the thing, and the dollars themselves
are clean; that is enough. Put money
in thy purse; fill thy purse with money;
make all the money thou canst. Out
upon sanctimonya and frail vow: there

thing Damn the odds Is there a real
moral difference between taking money
by club or pistol and taking it by u
fraud and conspiracy?
| fancy Captain Kidd and Chancellor
Day could agree on a definition of phar-
isaism. 1t seems the first reports that
tbs Board of Missions had not solicited
the money were erroneous. The Board
of Missions solicited the money robbed
from the helpless and unsuspecting.

Kansas will share in this
movement, but on a different
basis from the absolutely arid
states. Instead of creating great
storage reservoirs in Kansas, the
government will spend money in
experiments which, if successful,
will make the farmers of western
Kansas independent of any great
irrigation projects. The expert
mcnt is to test the practicability
of pumping water from the
underhow for irrigation, and if it
proves u success private capital
will elaborate its ate journal,

Harold. With that thought came also
the necessity for action, and when a
man is called upon to act he is relieved
from the curse Of thinking.
Harold's camp lay some thirty miles
to the north of my station. AS soon
as the news spread the lives of Harold
and his wife and sister would not be

into hard canter and headed for the
Harolds' camp. The time for dream

The old man looked up sharply.
"There comes to every human being

which, though it may not lead on to
fortune, nor yet down to ruin, proves
him, shows what is in him, brings out
anything worth counting that may be
latent in him, and exposes his weak
nesses, too, often enough. That tide
came to me in the Terrible Year-in
'57-which found us English folk, lit
tie handfuls of us, isolated, almost de-
fenceless, facing the brown millions
who for once were banded together
against us by hate and wrath. I was
an assistant deputy commissioner In a
God-forsaken district in India, and had
been so long alone among the natives
that / could not speak half dozen
sentences of my own language without

the air; you felt it, yet could find to
