The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-04-17

All those who seek this high trust are
prohibited from filing a declaration of
candidacy as an adherent to any politi-
cal party and their names must go on
all primary ballots, not as political
nominees, but as candidates under the
designation of Non-Partisan Judiciary.
In all counties where only one judge
is elected, as in Chelan county, the
primary election practically decides
the election Of the judge. The can
didate receiving the highest number
of votes at the primary is the only
candidate whose name can go on the
general election ballots, still under the
non partisan head.
This divorcement of the judicial
position from the turmoil of partisan
politics is merely a recognition of a
practise that has prevailed for long
time in some judicial districts through
out the country, it being, in number
of localities, the custom of the bar
association to agree on some member
as candidate, and then have no
opponent put forward on any party
ticket.
Our primary law contemplates the
fulflment Of the hope of many of our
people for a free and untrameled
judiciary.
The selection Of judge is to be by
the people, on the basis of the worth
of individual candidates, and not by a
few individuals or special interests,
influenced by fear, favor or possible
future preferment or advantage. To
even the most partisan, this desire to
keep this custodian of our lives and
property free from possible entangle-
ment or suspicion will no doubt
strongly appeal.
How effective the practical appli-
cation of this we'll intended law will
be remains an open question.
Other things being equal it would
seem that, for some time at least, the
natural tendency Of man to cleave tc
those who cleave to him would keeI
the support Of candidates largely
within the old party lines.
No matter though the elimination
of party affiliations be severe loss tC
some candidates and a great gain t
others, because of local conditions il
matters political, all must bow to th'
will OF the people as expressed by th
primary election act, and will announc
their aspirations as non partisan candi
dates. In so doing their sincerity

WILL SET 5000 APPLE TREES
Don M. Thomas Gave an Order for 1000
Apple Trees

1t may not be generally known that
D. M. Thomas has a valuable tract OF
orchard land, some eighty acres in all,
on the south side of the river half way
between here and Peshastin. He has
two thousand trees many of which will
bear this year. This spring he set out
two thousand trees and last week gave
l. H. Cook, agent for the Oregon
Nursery Co., an order for 400 trees
to be delivered next spring. All to-
gether this will be an 80 acre apple
orchard when all the trees are set out.
When all the trees come into bearing Mr..
Thomas can make contracts for the
delivery of apples by the train load.
In seven years, or by the time the
last trees may be counted on, and
counting on an average of ten boxes
to the tree, which is not high, he can
load one hundred cars with 800 boxes
of apples to each car. Carrying the
calculation out in dollars and estima-
ting the value of the apple at one
dollar per box the crop will be worth
$4,000. To pick, pack and load
the crop on board the cars will require
an outlay of ten thousand dollars.
The boxes to pack this crop will
cost approximately $4,000, then leav-
ing 50, 900 for incidentals he will have
a net revenue of 100000 from his
orchard.

WIN. A. GRIMSHAW FOR JUDGE
Makes Formal Declaration of His Position
on the Primary Law in Regard
to the Judgeship
Wenatchee, Wash, April 6.


Owing to the withdrawal of one oI
the candidates from the race fol
judicial honors it has been very gener-
ally rumored that another would be
put forward.
These rumors have been that the
republican party would present the
name of some lawyer of this political
belief as a republican candidate.
This statement, no doubt is due to
a misapprehension of the scope and
provisions of the present primary
election act.
So far as the judicial nomination is
concerned, though settled at the same
primary election as nominations for
state and county officers generally, no
party candidate as such is permitted.

STATE NEWS ITEMS

o. H. Vognild, a rancher of STAN
wood, Snohomish county, writing in
the Everett Daily Herald, advocates
the establishment of a state powder
mill for the manufacture of stumping
powder to be sold to the people of the
state at actual cost. Mr.. Vognild's
idea is certainly good one and worthy
earnest thought on the part of every
voter interested in the growth and
prosperity of the state. Whether it is
in clearing the land or roads, the
largest item of expense is powder.
Mr.. Vognild says that the Canadian
government is now furnishing powder
to its citizens at $3.50 per box Of fifty
pounds, while the people Of this sec
ton are paying $500, almost three
times as much. When a candidate
bobs up for the legislature, ask him
about his stand on state powder mill
to furnish the people stumping powder
at cost of production.

INTERESTING AND AMUSING

An amusing feature of the weeks entertainment has been the squirm- ing of the Copper Queen skindicate of newspapers over a quip leveled at them in TIE OASIS of last week wondering what they will have to occupy them when the territorial convention has named a delegation to the national republican conven- tion. The sum of the rawlings of the skindicate of newspapers is that the editor of THE OASIS had been seen by Mir. Foster of Phoenix (public examiner) and whipped into line for an instructed delega- tion, and that the clerkship of the district court held by the editor is the magnet that has brought him to the attitude of standing for such instruction. The assertions of the skindicate would be interesting if true. But being untrue, they are not only interesting, but amusing. When for the sake of small office THE OASIS editor is obliged to sacrifice his independence, why, the office can be taken away from him. The office held by Mir. Bird was conferred upon him in spite of his independence, and the gentleman who conferred it Judge Doan) disagreed very materially with MT. Birds attitude upon the statehood question.
 Now, upon the question of an instructed delegation, THE OASIS is entirely indifferent. It believes that Theodore Roosevelt will be the nominee at Chicago; and it knows so we'll the average Arizonan of the kind who get to national

INSTRUCTION OR NO?

Just at present there is very
 pretty contest on hand among the
 republicans of Arizona over the
 proposed complexion of the delega-
 tion from this territory that will
 be sent to the national convention
 at Chicago. Governor Kibbey,
 Hon. 1. T. Stoddard, and many other gentlemen who can be named and the Arizona Gazette, are work ing very actively for an instructed
 delegation, and that instructed for Secretary Taft. Upon the other hand there are Bob Morrison, the Murphy's, J. c. Adams, and the Arizona Republican, with num-
 Der of democratic newspapers, shouting all against all instructed delegation. In the East, where he is visiting, Governor Kibbey as- sures the public press that the peo- pie of Arizona are for Secretary Taft, and that the delegation will be instructed in his interest. In California Mir. Page, the recently appointed secretary of the territory presents the same averments to those who nave asked him about 1t (the newspaper reporters). To those assertions the Honorable Bob Morrison, the two Murphy's, the Arizona Republican say "We are from Missouri" And 1t should not be overlooked that the two Kellys, who have great hand in manipulating republican politics in Arizona of late, are strong and hard against an instructed delega- tion. If they would only come out in the open and insist upon Foraker delegation they would be far more consistent. Upon that side Bob Morrison is the only con- sistent one in the entire bunch. And THE OASIS is half inclined to go with him. Not that Senator Foraker deserves the presidency, but that he has done such l w-o-n-d-e-rf-u-l things for Arizona. Why, but for the Ohio senator Ari-
