The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-01-11

Congressman Cushman says
he is opposed to dividing the
state into congressional districts.
Mr.. Cushman was on the stage
when the convention enthusiasts
tically adopted the platform that
demanded this legislation. Why
did he not raise his voice against
the adoption of such plank?
The reasons urged against such
action at this time were just as
strong, just as logical, last Sep
TENDER as they are now.
The reason Mr.. Cushman gave
for opposing division at this
time-that four years from now
when the next decennial census
is taken, the state of Washing
ton will be entitled to five con
gressmen-is an evasive reason.
1t is not more conclusive than to
urge that the state should not be
divided into congressional dis
tricts until 1920, because at that
time the state will be entitled to
ten congressman.
The law has been evaded long
enough for the convenience of
those who profit by the evasion.
Let the state be divided into
congressional districts, because
it is right and because the last
republican convention declared
that it should be divided, and
then let it be divided again in
1910.

In the daily papers of Wednes-
day is an account of the lynching
of a man 60 years old by mob
in which were four or five minis
tiers of the gospel and numerous
women the best and most staid
citizens of the community, says
the account. The mob battered
down the doors of the jail, took
Cullen. the aged criminal, and
hanged him from a bridge. No
attempt at disguise was made.
There is food for thought in
all this. The mob declared that
Cullen, who was rich, would get
acquitted or at least indefinitely
prolong the trial.
Evidently the courts of Iowa
have turned loose on the com
munity other such criminals as
Cullen and the people deter
mined not longer to trust their
safety to the farce of court
trial.
The temper of the citizens OF
Spokane is such that it would re-
quire only a leader to get up
lynching party should another

That something is out of joint
in the administration of our Grim
inal law-that it fails to meet the
demand of organized society,
needs no argument to convince
the average man.
Where money does not pur-
chase immunity from punish
ment for crime, where the Grim
inal law is promptly and i'm
partially administered, lynch
law is rarely if ever resorted to.
When courts and juries can not
be influenced by money, or even
sympathy and sentiment, resort
to force will cease, and not until
then. Human nature is about
the same in Iowa and Alabama,
New York and Texas.
Cullen committed his crime in
the heat of frenzy. Reason
was temporarily dethroned. 10
our mind evidence of insanity
was more apparent than in the
case of Sidney Sloane.

FRIDAY, JANUARY IL, 1907.


There appears to be an appre
hension in some quarters that
the Legislature will refuse to
pass the primary election law
While this paper was never an
enthusiastic supporter of this
law and stated it's position pre-
viOus to the meeting of the re-
publican state convention, it has
ever since the adoption of that
pledge to the people favored the
enactment into law of the direct
primary principle of making
party nominations.
The republican party can not
adopt the democratic method of
making a platform "to catch
votes and expect to retain the
confidence of the voters. We
look upon the platform as an
unqualified pledge to the people
to follow a certain line of action.
The enactment of a direct pri-
mary election law was demanded
by the people thru their repre-
sentatives in the state conven-
ton. The pledge given to the
people that such law would be
enacted should be kept.
