pirate design.

to have their copy ready early, not

large edition, approximately two thous-
and, will be printed. Those desiring
extra copies to send to friends should

tunity to place before the world some

Samuel G. Cosgrove is a good man

The state of Oregon elected a repub-
lican legislature at the recent election.
At primary election held some time
before, under an Oregon statute, the
voters of the state were asked to ex-
press their preference for a United
States senator. They did so and by
their votes showed that the majority of
the people preferred a man by the
name of Chamberlain, a democrat.
Now lot of pot house Oregon polite
ians, at the head of them Senator Full
ton, he of malodorous land grabbing
memory, are endeavoring to make the
members Of the legislature violate
their pledge to vote for the choice of
the people as expressed at the primary
election. An item in the daily press
stated that Senator Fulton would appeal
to Mr.. Taft to interfere in the interest
of republican candidate. We know
not how other republicans may view
this matter but to the writer it looks
like dishonesty. Dishonesty Of the
worst kind. Beside which horse steal
ing and pocket picking are only mis-
demeanors. The Oregon Legislators
should carry out the will Of the people
as expressed at the polls. Anything
less is dishonesty. President Roose-
welt expressed himself very emphat-
ically when appealed to in regard to the
matter.

everything will be comfortable for all
who come to worship with US. We
still need $500 with which to pay all

cause, kindly communicate with him

received.

RACE TRACK GAMBLING BILL
Representative Ole Hanson, from King
County, Has One Object in View

During the past week the Beacon
Hill Improvement Club, the w. c. T..
u, comprising 1000 members, the
Rainier Heights improvement Club,
Bethany Brotherhood, Swedish Repub-
lican Club, Norwegian Republican Club
and divers other organizations of Seat
tie have endorsed Ole Hanson's anti
racetrack gambling bill. Every cham
Der of commerce in the state has been
asked to do the same.
Especially was the endorsement of
the Swedish Republican Club of great
importance, as the president of the
club is ]. E. Chilberg, and the vice
presidents are Godfrey Chealander, C..
]. Erickson and o. E. Anderson. Mr..
Chilberg is president of the A.-Y.-P.
exposition and the vice-presidents hold
positions of importance with the same.
This should set at rest the rumors that
the A.-Y.-P. management desires the
track open during the fair.
The bill should go thru without any
amendments whatever. 1t should take
effect at once. 1t is plain, simple
bill making racetrack gambling and
pool selling felony.
Enough members of the house have
pledged themselves to insure the pas
sage of the bill. The senators will not
be asked in regard to the bill until two
thirds of the house are on record.
1t is the desire of those who want to
make the passage of the bill certainty
that some one volunteer in each pre-
cinct turnout the state to circulate pc
titions calling on the members of the
Legislature to vote for the bill. If you
will circulate this petition kindly send
your name to Ole Hanson, 500 New
York Block, Seattle. If the reader Of
this article knows the representative
from his district he should at least take
enough interest in good government
and good morals to call on him, or at
least write to him. The bill ought to
pass. Many men and women have
been ruined at the Meadows racetrack.
A we'll known real estate man said,
For many years I have had several
women clients for whom I invested
their funds, most of them widows.
They invested their money in farm
mortgages at 7 per cent and lived on
the income. After the Meadows race
track opened several Of them began to
attend the races and thru the semi
responsibility of the track were lead to
make wagers. Today two of them are
dead broke and working for living
while another has heavy mortgage on
her home, which will without ques-
ton, be lost in the course of time"

Honorable Samuel G. COSgrOve

The attention of the people of the
state of Washington is just now cen
tered on Paso Robes, California, where
lies the man who was elected governor
at the recent election by the largest
majority OF any man on either ticket,
lowering between life and death. The
daily press is eagerly scanned from day
to day for some encouraging indication
that he will be permitted to live to be
inaugurated the coming month. The
sincere sympathy Of thousands of Wash
ington people goes out to the brave
and hopeful life partner watching by
the side of her husband for some sign
that he may be spared to fulfill the du-
ties to which the people of the state
have called him. Early in the cam
paign, which began in the first months
of the year, he was here and talked
hopefully OF the future. He was In
the best of health. Tho seventy, he
looked to be good for many years.
1t had been his ambition, a most
laudable one, to round out his life as
chief magistrate of the state which he
had done his full share to raise from
youthful territorial conditions to full
fellowship in the family of states. Off
ces, high and honorable, knocked at
his door, all of which he firmly de-
clined, saying with smile, it was not
Offices he wanted. If he could not be
governor he wanted nothing else. So
when the opportunity presented itself,
and the people in their capacity as in
dividuals were permitted to declare
their choice, he put his claims before

Tariff Legislation in Congress

From the number of protests filed
by the different protected interests ii
looks as if the revisionists would have
hard Shedding. The lumber trust is
opposed to reducing the tariff on lum-
Der. The lumber producers are all on
the ragged edge of starvation. Have
you ever noticed that the owners Of
the big lumber mills are all forced to
wear patched pants, while the balance
of mankind wear fine raiment? The
owners of the lead trust are so earnest
in their opposition to revision OF the
lead scale that they are down on their
knees all over Missouri and Kansas
praying that God may interfere in their
behalf and stay the hands of the re-
visionists. The abject poverty of the
owners of lead mines is so shocking
that crocodiles weep at the thought.
The sugar growers and onion growers
of Texas have have hard fits over the
prospect that their products may go on
the free list. Everyone of these in
terests, if they do not want the other
fellows stuff to go on the free list they
are at least Indifferent. In the scramble
for self it is everybody for himself and
the devil take the consumer.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-12-11

One Of the most commendable
movements ever inaugrated in this
town was that of the reading room as
sociaticn started by number of the
young men last week. Among those
who have become interested in the
organization are railroad and mill en-
ployees and some of the young men
connected with the local forestry Office.
The movement should be encouraged
by every one who has any interest in
the young men of the town, for it is
a movement in the interest of the
young men of the town, especially
those who have no homes here and
must necessarily have some place to go
during the winter evenings where they
can be comfortable and have some
wholesome amusement and be sup
piled with reading matter. If you
have books or magazines that you can
spare do not throw them away but give
them to the reading room association.
This movement more than almost any
other, must appeal to every right
thinking person in Leavenworth.

them and by a decided majority he
was declared the choice Of the voters
in the primary election in September
last in holly contested campaign in
which he had seven competitors. In
the November election, tho unable to
make his appearance in the entire cam
paign, the people again declared their
confidence in the hardy old pioneer
from Garfield county.
He may never live to be inaugurated
but he will live longer in the memory
of the people than some who have
filled out their terms of office. He
will be remembered for his sterling in
tegrity, his high resolves and his clean
life.

The judgements OF the Washington
supreme court written by a Spokane
railroad attorney and then sent to St.
Paul for the OK of the chief counsel
Of the Great Northern railway. In the
late election some one made great
pretentions of righteous indignation
because some democratic candidates
seemed to cast reflections on the in
tegrity of our courts. The reversal OF
the twenty-nine million dollar Standard
Oil fine by Judge Grosscup and the
Washington Supreme court scandal
would seem to justify the suspicion
that our courts are not above reproach.

At the town elections in Cashmere
and Wenatchee last Tuesday the ques-
ton of saloons or no saloons cut very
large figure. If reports are true the
election in Cashmere means a dry
town, and the Wenatchee World in
Inmates that that town may also refuse
to license saloons.
