The above communication was hand
ed in for publication by Councilman
Woldenburg this week. At least a
dozen people have told US on the
street that Mr.. Woldenburg read the
article to them, and to some OF them
stated that The Echo would not dare
to print it. If We did not believe that
there were still some people that had
not read the hot stuff there would
be no excuse for printing it.
When people read the statement
that he Can prove by reputable citi-

no complaint against him, they will

There are times when patience

arrived With me. The mission OF a
newspaper, as I see it, is to be just
and fair with all men and women. You
certainly have not been so with me.
From the first meeting Of the coun-
ell until the present day you have only
published such parts Of my record as
you believed would prejudice me in
the eyes Of the people. Kindly permit
me TO refer the good people Of Leay-
enworth TO Mr.. Guy A. Hamilton, the
gentlemanly clerk Of the town, who
will show them the official record Of
myself as member of the town council
and will gladly explain anything which
may not seem clear TO them.

violation OF the Sunday closing law at

were not even present. Was that iair1

Democrat YOtds- Republican P1maI0

S.1ce lzst Tuesdays primary cleo
coz tie writer rs heard considerable
comment OF the number Of democrats
who voted republican tickets a the
primary. Some newspapers Of The STATE
have even expressed alarm a The pos
zi5le effect It may hz7e On the general
election. The Spokesman Review
refers 70 this ztzte q Affairs II the iol-
living editorial:
This alarm IS based OF the theory
that szch democrats Is participated II
the republican primaries did 50 IN CIDER
70 cast ther votes for the weaker Of
the republican candidates in order that
The candidates nominated might De the
more easily defeated in the general
election. There Is 10 substzntiztion
IN zct IL support Of such theory.
From al observable facts Il appears
thz, those democrats Who voted IN the
republican primaries did 50, not 10 &C
comDEsh the defeat Of the republican
party II the general election, but 70
accomplish the nomination Of taYorite
candidates among the republicans.
Party practice permits each voter
to affiliate With the party Of his choice.
Under party practice IN this state no
man IS denied participation in the
activities Of one party because ne afil-
lated last year or last month with an
opposition party. The men VINO asked
for republican ballots in the primary
election said, in effect, that they we're
republicans. II, participating in the
republican primaries as republicans,
they did 50 in good faith, voting for
the candidates Of their choice and vot-
ing intelligenily, there is no more reas-
On 10 assume that men who had here
toiore been democrats exercised an evil
influence upon the results than there is
10 fear the same evil influence from men
who had been lifelong republicans.
But Why justify the Practice Of demo
Gratis voting republican tickets3
# We are not badly mistaken the
primary law provides for challenges
from each party, and if the republican
challenger hears a democrat call for a
republican ticket, he can demand that
said democrat take oath that he intends
to vote for the republican candidates
al the general election.
If the respective parties take adyan-
tage Of all the privileges which the
law allows them they will have no cause
for all this needless alarm.

FRIDAY. sRPTEHBER Is. 1908.

Al that meeting I said many things,
One explanatory Of the other; al simply
ny personal opinions On the question
a, issue, for all Of which have no
apologies 70 make. No one has ever
accused ne Of lack Of moral courage;
that advised the violation Of the Sun
day closing lzz, either afir1aztiYely Or
negatively, Is false.
In the last issue Of the Echo you
again accuse me Of the same thing;
waning the saloon men against me as
their enemy. This and other things
you have said about me seems to De
Al attempt to stamp ne as an outc2St
from the society Of all good men,
women and children. What a kind,
gentle and christian spirit you are
possessed Of, I submit TO the peoples
verdict.
You advocate, not only the enforce
ment Of the Sunday closing law, but
all other laws; you, who Is can prove
BIZ reputable citizens Of the town. have
violated the criminal statutes Of the
state Of Washington on three different
occasions. Once, you assaulted 4
gentleman because he stopped your
paper, believing that you had wronged
one Of his friends. 20, inconsistency,
thou AZ a jeEel."
believe that We can attend to the
affairs and laws Of our little town and
the state Of Washington without any
advice from Mr.. Adou OF Texas, who
perhaps sacrificed great deal OF prin-
ciple and manhood in attempting to
save money he had invested in brew
cries. I believe we could even do
without the advice and counsel Of
the Echo.
Many have asked me when this Sun
day closing law was first enacted.
Il first became law in the territory
Of Washington, about twenty-seyen
years ago and was re-enacted in 1891
when Washington became state. No
attempt was ever made TO enforce 1t
until recently and it is violated, or, at
least ignored every Sunday, not only in
the town Of LeayenWorth, but in every
other town and city in the state.
This shows plainly that in some of
its phases, at least, this law is very
unpopular and considered bad one.
The town council OF Leavenworth
refused to enforce this law by major
ity vote. In my opinion it did the
only thing it could consistently do.
The enforcement OF this new law is one
Of the duties Of the police power Of the
state, according TO the Supreme Court.
! have yet to learn that town council
belongs to that body.
Now, Mr.. Editor, some OF the things
which | have said may touch a SEN
sitiye spot in your nature, but l have
told only the truth, and Truth cruci-
fed in Christ, Calico, Bruno, Huss
and a legion Of others, still lives and
shame upon the man who fears TO tell
il.

DESTINED TO DIE BY BULLET.
Mothers Belief In Boys Fate Seemed
Justified by Events.

people may jeer at fatalism and
poke fun at all ideas which are embod-
led in predestination," said Senator
Culberson of Texas at small gather.
ing of friends the other day in Wash
ington, "but sometimes a man rubs ell
bows with events which make him less
skeptical about such things. A fine
young boy near Dallas was shot while
out hunting, and the bullet lodged SO
near his -leart that there was not one
chance in a thousand that he could
survive an operation. But he did sur
vive, and the operation was one of the
things OF which the surgeons. in the To-
cal hospital were very proud. But
the boys recovery was tedious and as
soon as the fever left him he was
allowed to see his friends and to play
cards and generally to amuse himself.
The bullet had been given to the boy
and occupied conspicuous place on
the table. Every caller saw and handled
the bullet and talked over his almost
miraculous escape from death. One
day the boys mother was with him
and several relatives when a boy
who had formerly gone to school with
the patient paid him a visit and of
course he wanted to hear all about
the operation and to see the bullet.
The boy told 1t all with great vim
and then, taking up the bullet, he said:
Here's the bullet that caused all the
trouble, and now / shall bite 1t to
pieces to pay 1t back and he laugh
ingly put 1t in his mouth. Just then
he was seized with coughing fit, the
bullet slipped down his throat, lodged
in his windpipe, and in few minutes
he had strangled to death. The poor
mother was nearly crazed with grief,
but she afterward told the pastor Of
her church that she felt her son was
destined to die of that bullet and that
she had little confidence of his re-
covery, even when the operation was
pronounced successful. She had dab
bled somewhat in the occult sciences
and she declared that the boy had been
predestined from all time to die from
that particular bullet and that nothing
could save him from that fate"

Heard, Seen and Dreamed 1About.

These are the days when one may
be as cool as one can and still be
warm enough. All sorts of 'sugges-
lions are made by knowing ones of
sbings to do and things not to do in
order to keep cool, and all such sug-
gestions are good ones as far as they
go, but they don't go far enough. Here
is one that goes farther and it was
given in an offhand way by man on
a street corner this morning:
The best way to keep cool is to
cut out ice water, eat little or no
meat, dress sensibly in light weight,
light color clothing, keep on the shady
side of the street and carry an UNI
brella," and he added mournfully:
81 have given this advice to dozen
people and the only one who has acted
upon any part of it was a fellow who
took to the umbrella clause and walk
ed off with my parasol."
