Knocking and Knockers

It depends altogether on the point
of view whether one is open to the
charge of being a knocker. President
Roosevelt is believed to be pernicious
and persistent knocker by the mem
bers of the Standard Oil company. The
San Francisco boodlers believe Mr..
Heney to be a most meddlesome
knocker. The Echo has been called
knocker in certain quarters because
it favored the strictest economy in the
conduct Of the town affairs. 1t has
been called a knocker because when
the charge was made that a large pre-
ponderence OF the county criminals
came from Leavenworth, it emphatical-
ly and effectively denied the charge.
Again the editor has been called a
knocker because he advocated the en-
forcement of the law against gambling
and permitting minors to enter saloons.
The editor of this paper will support
and give his approval to any and every
measure that has for its aim the good
of men, women and children.
If we overlook a knock at that
which is wrong or harmful, just call
our attention to the omission.
I'VE claim the right to knock at our
own town because we are part Of it.
If you live in another town you have
no right to knock at US. You can
keep busy knocking at your own sins
and cleaning up your own back yards.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1907-10-25
God is Said to Despise a Coward

Whatever may be the opinion. Of
others the editor Of this paper does not
regard his views on current events or
local questions as expressed in The
Echo from time to time as above crit
icism. Indeed, considering that he IS
only human it would be strange if he
was not fallible. He grows more toll
Grant as he grows older and is great
sight less sure Of himself. Whether this
is always a consequence Of accumulat-
ing years he does not know.
He never entertained a doubt but
that his views were often at variance
with those Of his readers, for which
reason he has offered the free use OF
the columns OF The Echo to those who
have ideas that they want to get before
the public. A criticism Of anything
that appears in this paper is cheerfully
given space.
You wonder why the editor of The
Echo says certain things. Bless your
Soul. that is because he is himself. If
he was yourself he would doubtless say
what YOU think and that would meet
with your approval. Since he can not
draw his inspiration from you it follows
that you must write your own views for
publication. You can not lay it on too
strong for him TO print, provided you
stick to the subject and use printable
language.
But do not, please do not write him
letter without signing your name.
1t is cowardly and low TO write letters
that you are ashamed to own. The
editor knows that you do not yourself
believe what you say. Aye, he knows
more than that. He knows that you
are both fool and liar. You have so
little faith in what you say that you are
ashamed to father the thought. He
will recognize you by that furtive
glance and inability to look him in the
eye. Like a guilty thing, yonwill feel
ashamed.
No, no. Do not write to the editor
do not write to any one without sign
ing your name.

Was He Washed As White As Snow

Although the jury acquitted Senator
Borah, of Idaho, for completely in the
land frauds in that state, yet it will
always linger in the minds OF men
that there must have been some
ground on which the grand jury based
its belief in the Senator's guilt or it
would not have returned an indictment.
His fierce attack on the public land
policy of the government was a show
of reckless bad taste. That some
hardship falls on an occasional honest
seeker after public land, will be ad-
mitted. Indeed, was ever a law made
that did not Cypress some one?
That in all its rulings the interior
department is actuated by none other
than an honest effort to preserve the
land for bona fde settlers and thwart
the scheme OF all those who are not
intended by the law to get more than
their share, is our firm belief. That
millions upon top OF millions OF acres
of the most valuable land has been
stolen-call it by any name you will
but stolen is the proper name for it
by men as high up as Mr.. Borah.
With all the hindrance that is put in
the way OF those who would wrongfully
acquire land the law is violated every
year, right here in Chelan county.

A Law Against Grade Crossings.

Grade crossings of every kind,
whether in the city or in the country,
says State Railroad Commissioner Fair
childs, who has recently returned from
the national meeting Of railroad COM
missioners at Washington, D. c.,
should be prohibited by law. His
views on the question will commend
themselves to every thoughtful man
who realizes the great danger to human
life in this kind Of crossing. The en-
tire abolition of grade crossings
throughout the state may be difficult
and expensive, but the safeguarding Of
human life should outweigh every
other consideration.
The menace Of grade crossings to
human life is generally admitted. The
railroads may Of course be expected to
oppose the enactment of such law.

SHAKING UP IN THE G. n.
The Official Family in Row-fvevbody
Wants to Quit

Ever since the elder Hill turned the
presidency of the Great Northern over
to his son, Louis Hill, there has been
trouble in the official family. Vice
President McGuigan resigned shortly
after Louis came into control. Then
General Manager Slade resigned. Two
weeks ago General Manager Ward re-
signed. The two latter have been
with the Great Northern for many
years.
There has just been another shaking
up, followed by wholesale designations.
c. L. Mayne, who succeeded J. E..
Hood as superintendent of the Spokane
division, is leaving the service of the
company. His resignation was for
warded to St. Paul some two weeks
ago. Wholesale shifting of the officials
of the company has been made neces-
sary by the designations.
Mr.. Forrest, who has been with the
company over twenty years, will be
succeeded by E. L. Brown, who is
now general superintendent of the
eastern district of the road.
L. w. Bowen, now superintendent
of the Willmar, Mimi, division, comes
west to succeed c. L. Mayne.
W. D. Scott, superintendent of the
Cascade division, goes to Minot, N. D.,
to take the position Of general superin-
tendent OF the eastern district left
vacant by the transfer Of E. L. Brown
of Spokane, as general superintendent
OF the western district in succession to
Mr.. Forrest.
J. H. O'Neill, now superintendent
OF the Kalispel division, has been trans
ferred to the Cascade division, to sue
coed w. D. Scott.
w. R. Smith takes the place as
superintendent Of the Kalispell division,
left vacant by Mr.. O'Neill's transfer to
the Cascade division.
II is not known in this city that any
official has as yet been appointed to
take Mr.. Bowen's place as superin-
tendent of the Willmar division.
Mr.. Mayne's resignation has been
expected for some time, in fact since
E. H. McGuigan, formerly vice presi-
dent OF the Great Northern, left the
service OF the company. Little sur
prise was manifested in railway circles
this morning when it was learned that
Mr.. Mayne was also leaving the service
OF the Great Northern.
c. L. Mayne was with F. M. Nc
Guigan on the Grand Trunk when the
latter came over 10 the Great Northern.
Shortly after McGuigan's acceptance
of the position Of vice president OF the
Great Northern, which was some ten
months or more ago, he brought Mr..
Mayne over to the Great Northern
and gave him a situation as superin-
tendent OF transportation on the eastern
end OF the system. When ]. E. Hood
resigned as superintendent Of the Spo-
kane division, several months ago, Mr..
Mayne was given the appointment.
His resignation has been expected
since McGuigan had trouble with the
Hills and left the Great Northern.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER %, 1907.
A Panic in The Seats Of The Mighty

The disturbance in the money cen
centers, which has been in progress for
the past three or four months, has been
constantly growing, and is to our mind
most unusual condition, unlike any
other financial disturbance in the last
thirty-fve years, beyond which the
writer's memory OF other financial dis
turbances is somewhat hazy and indis-
tinct.
In the disturbance Of the seventies
and nineties, and the lesser ones in be
tween, after the first symptoms OF
storm were announced from Wall ST.,
the first effect was general closing
down of manufacturing plants and the
throwing out Of employment Of thous-
ands of working men, with a violent
decline in the price Of nearly every
commodity that enters into daily con-
sumption.
Whatever the ultimate effect of the
present trouble may be, so far II has
been confined to large concerns and
those that trade in class Of securities
that recent developments have shown
to be based largely on wind and
water" to use a common expression.
So far the working people, or those
least able to stand the effects of a
panic, have not felt any pressure. Work
at good wages is still plentiful. The
crops are abundant and the prices Of
the products of the farm and orchard
unusually high, which proves con
clusively that the great masses, who
are after all the consumers OF these
products, have the money to indulge
their tastes.
Whether the present disturbed con-
dition will continue until the lower
strata is affected no one can tell. We
can only wait.
The decline in those things which
the frenzied rich deal in already
amounts to several billion dollars, and
the end seems farther off every day.
Some of the erstwhile proud and ar
rogant rich are now making daily
appeals with tears in their eyes;
fguratively speaking, on their knees,
to President Roosevelt to call halt on
the prosecution of the law-breaking
corporations, and saying in effect that
it is better to let ninety and nine
guilty corporations escape the punish
ment they so richly deserve than that
one poor, innocent, laboring man
should go hungry as the result of the
hard times that will inevitably follow
the panic that is sure tocome if the
prosecution of the lawbreaking rich
and the exposure of their crooked
financial methods is kept up.
To the most recent appeal that he
desist, the president has turned deaf
ear. If he has been reported correctly
the effect of his words are let the fur
fly and make it fly fur" 10 which all
those who Abraham Lincoln called the
plain people will say, amen.

The way our apples take the cake,
must make less favored localities bit
envious. At the national irrigation
Congress at Sacramento we took the
grand prize: We took all the apple
prizes worth mentioning at the great
Spokane fair except the one for the
largest exhibit of apples. At the Yak
ina fair we divided the honors equally
with the local growers, and now comes
the astonishing information that our
apples took the first grand prize at the
Illinois state fair. Chelan apples are
surely getting an enviable reputation
the world over.
