The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-11-06

Local politicians are unit in admit
ting that it is hard to make politics a
regular business under the direct pri-
mary. The present campaign has
demonstrated that fact. Candidates
enter the race before the primary, and,
if they win the fight, go out and con-
tinue the struggle to bring about their
own election. King county went through
the form Of having its old-time county
committee during the recent election
but the candidates were the ones that
looked after their fights, independently
Of that fact. incidentally the candi-
dates refused to come through with
money TO keep the committee creased
and there were times when it was
hard matter for the committee to even
pay office rent.

Theodore ROosevelt's Plan Might Be lmi-
tated by Other Men for Their
Sons Benefit

Last June Teddy, Jr., wore cap
and gown; now he wears overalls and
jumper. When the roses bloomed he
was in the glory and glitter of college
days, with background Of pretty class
day girls, intercollegiate games, song
tests where the gang sang when good
fellows get together" and all that sort
Of thing. Now, as the October leaves
are turning gold and crimson, he is
picking over wool in carpet factory in
little Connecticut town. There's
long distance call for you and far cry.
There's the proper democratic instinct.
There's the sound good sense Of
Teddy, Sr.
We've seen something of academic
shades and vaulted halls of learning
ourselves, and Pater Roosevelt's action
gets our immediate 0. K. Not, mind
you, because we have anything to say
against college life or young Roose-
welt, but because we think it's mighty
good thing for every college graduate
to run afoul of a big snag of manual
work as soon as possible. 1t makes
him respect the dignity Of honest
labor, it enables him to see how life
looks from the bottom jobs. 1t gives
him understanding and sympathy for
the other fellow; it knocks lot of cub
foolishness out of his head and lot of
chunk wisdom in.
If you want to see some superb
errors OF judgment look at the rich
mems sons who, after leaving college,
are put into mahogony-desk-oriental-
rug berths that were already reserved
for them. And, per contra, if you want
to observe the opposite phenomena,
consider how the boys have made good
/
as rule where their shrewd sires had
them go into the business and learn
it from the bottom up"
Teddy, the second, so the story
goes, is putting in ten and half hours
a day of back-breaking toll. A wool
sorting bench is his equipment and
dollar day is his wage. 1t won't hurt
him a Bit Nobody for a moment sup
poses he is going to stay there till the
crack Of doom. But you can rest as
sured he'll stay there until certain
distinguished gentleman in Washing
ton can get a line on the sort of stuff
his lad is made of. It's tip-top test
to put anyone through. If your boy
takes the first fence he's put to with
proper spirit, you feel reassured as to
his future; if he balks, you might as
well have it out with him then and
there. In either event you find out
just where you stand in the game Of
parenthood, and many father doesn't
learn that until it is too late to mend
the trouble. e.-Human Life.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-11-06

The election passed off very quietly
in Leavenworth. Out of SGT voters
who had registered at this place 388
turned out to vote. Why the other
13o did not vote is hard to tell. Some
Of them lived right here in town.
Taft, Cosgrove and Poindexter led the
republican ticket here, as they did
generally thruout the state. Leaven-
worth with the exception of Mr.. Otis,
candidate for commissioner, gave all
the candidates on the republican ticket
a good round majority. When it is
taken into consideration that not
single representative from this place
was on the ticket the loyal support
that it received here should be noted
at Wenatchee where, by contradistinc-
ton, the republican ticket was un-
mercifully slaughtered. E. G. Spencer
for county auditor, Martin P. Spencer
for county treasurer and H. W. Otis
candidate for commissioner, all on the
republican ticket were defeated by
Godfrey, C. A. Battles and G. B. Kin
ney respectively. The balance OF
the county republican ticket was
elected. Following are the full re-
turns at this place, and the returns on
the county ticket from the other pre-
cincts so far as heard from:
The first name in each instance IS
the republican candidate and the sec
ond the democratic:

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-11-06

When visitors come to the A.-Y.-P.
exposition next summer they will be
protected from thieves, bunko men,
pickpockets, ETC., by Former Chief of
Police Charles P. Wappenstein. The
latter was. selected by tia fair manage
ment this week for the important po-
sition of Chief of Police for the fair. A
big fight was made against Wappen-
STEMS appointment, Mayor John F.
Miller of Seattle being among those
who opposed his appointment. Mayor
Miller is said to have told the fair man
agement that if Wappenstein were ap-
pointed he would not have the coop
Grafton of the local police department
during the fair. The answer OF the fair
management was that he would not
need it; that they would expect Wap-
penstein to keep the crooks from rob
bing the people while in the exposition
grounds, and that it would be up to
the Mayor and his police department
TO protect visitors while they we're out
side the grounds. Wappenstein is an
old Pinkerton man.

WOOD COMMENDS
 TUNNEL PROJECT
COngratuIates McGeever On
 Stand In Matter
IMPROVEMENT IN ROADS
Travellers Passing Green Springs Are Interested In Work Being Done By the New Roller and
 Traction Engine.

Said Sterling A. Wood yesterday: Tt IS q great pity that Shades valley, high and dry, should be developing into a negro settlement, six miles from Birmingham, when it could become beautiful resi- dence section within a mile and half of the court house.
 ''That is practically the change that would be wrought by a tunnel or cut through Red mountain. The mountain has hitherto stood between Birmingham and the best and choicest land while the city has spread east west and north like water.
 ''If the tunnel can be constructed it will be a great thing for Birmingham. MT. McGeever is to be congratulated on the stand he is taking in the matter. The sooner it is done the better for right now labor is cheap and everything seems in line."
 In connection with the Board of Rev. enue it is interesting to know that reports are coming from every direction that great results are being gathered from the revival of road improvement. Almost every macadam road in the county has re- ceived a new coat of chert, and the over seers with their crews are working with might and main.
 Persons passing the road builders who are preparing the Green Springs road just beyond the city limits get an idea of the work.
 They see the big traction engine go steaming up a steep hill with two carloads of chert, as much as eight mules could pull, direct from the pit It is dumped into the road, spread out athen the new lotion roller rolls it into a hard mass. The board states that this particular work is costing but 34 cents cubic yard on ac- count of the ease with which it is done and the short haul from the chert pit.

DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
J. T. Johnson,

J. T. Johnson, aged 27 years, died yes- terday morning at the corner of Twenty seventh street and Avenue I. The de- ceased had been ill for three weeks. suf- fering from an attack of typhoid fever. A few days ago appendicitis set in and 1t was found necessary to operatae upon him. The strain on his system had been too great, however, and he succumbed yesterday morning at S:30 o'clock.
 The death of MT. Johnson is made more I'd by the fact that he married only about six months ago. He is survived by wife and mother, who is also a widow. He and his wife resided with his mother e. 1922 Ina street, where the funeral will be held this afternoon at o'clock h.
 The deceased was member of the firm of Johnson & Mccoy, and has re- sided in the district for number of years, having moved from Bessemer to Birmingham about two years ago. He was member of the Benevelonet Pro- tective Order of Ellxs, and the funeral services will be held under the auspices of Lodge No. 79.
 The following pail bearers have been named and are requested to meet at the Elks' home at o'clock John w. O'Neill, John F. Leedy, John P. Abbott, D. T. Evans, ly H. Warren and c. P McGuire
 Mr Johnson numbered his friends by the hundreds in Birmingham, and his death removes one of the brightest of Birmngham's young business men.

At the Gayety.
Boston

The G. H. Batchelder Boston Bellies" company playing the last week at the Gayety, are heralded as an ag- gregation that are justly entitled to credit, bringing as they did "top notch' musical comedy. The musical numbers are all naw and original, and are rendered in a bright and snappy manner and are introduced in con- sistent way as are also the comedy and dancing features. The Wanderer from Nowh ere.p which is the vehicle selected to introduce these features, is something out of the ordinary. The Boston Bellies" company is conceded one of the best shows seen at the Gay ety this season.

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the Bijou.

Lottie Williams, in My Tomboy Girl" continues to draw well at the
 Bijou theatre. Miss Williams is clever little comedienne, and she has a play that gives her many opportuni-
 ties The action Is mostly comedy, all though there are some exciting mo- ments. Specialties and musical num- bers are interpolated. The company supporting Miss Williams is very good, and the staging of her play is unusu- ally elaborate. The cooling system now in operation at the Bijou makes the house delightfully."- cool. There will be a matinee this afternoon, but no performance tomorrow, which is Good Friday.

.HOT ARGUMENT ON
 SPLIT PRESBYTERY Suggestion Made Ts Cut It
 Into Three Parts REV. MERRILL BREACHES Mohns Makes Exhaustive Report On Condition of TaIIadega Orphans
 Home-Commission To General Assembly.
REV. MERRILL BREACHES

After a long and earnest debate, in which the North Alabama presbytery came very near being split into three parts, the question was postponed until next year. A motion was introduced at the North Birmingham session yesterday by w. J. Caldwell of Woodlawn that the presbytery be divided into three parts.
 Tbis being the largest presbytery in theA state, the action has been contem- plated for some time, but the majority of presbyters agreed that it was un- timely. It was intended that one pres byterg should center around Florence. Tuscumbia, and that section; another around ralladega and Anniston, and the other around Birmingham.
 The remainder of the afternoon session was occupied by the reports of the churches, which were all encouraging, nearly every one showing a decided in- crease, both in membership and collec- tions.
 Last night W. T. Merrill of West End preached very able sermon on the text: Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven after which the presbytery took up the report of D. H. Mohns on the Talladega orphans home It was long and thorough, showing how the executive committee Of the synod has recently renovated the home installed an electric plant, built fences, given the boys a bath room, pro- vided more teachers and other things. It was the finest and most busness-like re- port that has ever been made on the institution After expressions of gratiii- !. el,o inc hadV a1- journed until today, when the reports or the cofmittees on home missions ana charitier will be taken up.
