The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-05-14

From a careful reading of the edit
orial expressions in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer during the campaign oil
1908 the writer arrived at the conclu-
sion that there was good reason fol
believing that some Of the candidates
on the republican ticket were unworthy
of support. Perhaps the Post-Intilli-
gencer had only well grounded sus-
picions and was deferred by party
exigency to make known its suspicious.
However this may be, it is unfortunate
that the facts did not come out sooner.

If there is good reason for believing
that other of the state officers are guilty
of wrong doing Governor Hay should
not hesitate to call an extra session oil
the legislature to provide the funds fol-
thoro house cleaning. 1t will be
much better for the republicans to take
the bull by the horns than to permit a
democratic Legislature to apply the
probe two years from now.

In speech delivered April 1st, a
copy OF which reached this Office the
past week, Hon. Miles Poindexter,
representative in Congress from this
district, declared himself in favor of an
income tax. In this stand The Echo
is in hearty accord with Mr.. Poindex-
ter. Let all incomes, other than those
arising from wages or salary, pay an
income tax. Let the rich mans salary,
tho it be $4,000 per year, if he
actually works with his head or hands,
and the wage Garner who receives SO
per week, be exempt from the income
tax. The men who receive an income
from investments, securities, bonds and
mortgages should pay in proportion to
the benefits they receive from our sys-
TEN of government. 1t requires armies,
courts and policemen to protect the
property of the rich. Only about one
man in five has any property which
requires protection. Those who own
the property should be willing
only willing, they should be made to
carry the bulk of the cost OF protecting
property. Many a poor man who owns
no property which requires protection
pays more tax to the federal govern
ment, indirect tho it be, than does the
wealthy widow of Russell Sage.

The defeat of the republican cor
ruptionist nominee for mayor of Spo-
kane by a democrat with clean
record, on an independent ticket, is a
long stride in the direction of good city
government. All honor to the repub-
lican voters who held good government
above party loyalty. This same spirit
may elect a democratic legislature a
year from next November.

 Beckwith looked at him quizzlcally.

If Calden isn't guilty. you can trust Trafford to find it out and let 1t be known. even ii Calden has confessed on a stack of Bibles a mile high.''

THE NEW woMAN,s PRAYER

(By A. T. S.) 70 Lord come to Thee in prayer once
 more But pardon if do not kneel before Thy gracious presence, for my knees are
 sore With so much walking; in my chair in
 stead. I'll sit in ease and humbly bow my
 head. I've labored in Thy Vineyard. Thou
 dost know; I've sold ten tickets to the minstrel
 show; I've called on fifteen strangers in our
 town: Their contributions to our church put
 down: I've baked pot of beans for Wednes-
 day 8 spree, An old time supper it is going to be; I've dressed two dolls, too, for our an
 nual fair And made cake which we must raf
 he there. Now with Thy boundless wisdom, so
 sublime, Thou knowest that these duties all take
 time, I have no time to fight my spirit s foes; I have no time to mend my husband s
 clothes; My children roam the street from morn
 till night; have no time to teach them to do
 right; But Thou. o Lord, considering all my
 cares, Wilt count them righteous, also heed
 my prayers. Bless the bean soup and the minstrel
 show, And put it in all the hearts to go, Induce the visitors to partonize The men who in our program advertise; Because I've chased these merchants
 till they we hid Whene Ter they saw me coming yes
 they did. Increase the contributions to our fair And bless the people who assemble
 there Bless Thou the grab bag and the gypsy
 tent. The flower table and the cake that s
 sent, May our whist club be to our service
 blest, The dancing party gayer than the rest; And when Thou hast blest these bless
 ings then We pray that Thou wilt bless our souls.
 Amen.

THE ART or BREATHING

We have all forgotten how to breathe in our mad race for the al- mighty dollar"
 So declares Mrs. Emily Noble, just from India, to lecture us occidentals on the art of breathing
 Since we have stood for featuring on overy other conceivable subject, and from every possible source, 1t is quite likely that we will patiently listen to the Hindu idea on rhythmic respira- tion."
 It has generally been supposed that our breathing is one thing which takes care of itself. True, some scientists stoutly declare that at that remote per old when plant life was at the point of evolving into something higher, breath ing was voluntary and the chief con cern and occupation. But in the count less stages of evolution and countless ages, the process has become second na- ture, automatic, and man had fondly believed it was oil his mind for good.
 But the lecturing woman just back from India brings us to rude awaken ing. Our breathing must be as constant ly looked after and as carefully regu- lated as our diet, she declares. And not only while we are awake must the breathing be controlled, but while we are asleep, as well.
 Mrs. Noble charges that we do not really breathe unless We employ our three chest diameters and our olfactory nerves and beat time with our dia- phragms.
 What we must do, she says, is to bluff the olfactory nerve bulb into imagining the scent of an orchid, Havana per fecto, or your favorite gasoline wagon, and inhale as if you enjoyed the per fume.
 That is the way when awake.
 Then when you lie down to sleep, think beautiful thoughts until you slip into slumberland, and these will turn into sweet dreams that will keep the breathing right until you awake.
 This careful control of rythmic respi. ration, the woman from India declares, will make the lean fatter, and the fat leaner, the sickly healthy, the indolent active, and will keep the heart youth ful in it's emotions and the face and form youthful in their lines The theory has the merit of not cost ing anything for trial. Whether it has any other merit or not remains to be seen by anybody sufficiently interested to try it.

THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE. T

Stilted critics in England, who never weary of finding fault with the Eng fish spoken and written in this country. might reflect seriously over Mark Twain's remark that i've of this coun- try do not speak English, but Amer ican.'
 Since English critics themselves keep harping that our language is not Eng fish, there is no reason for ourselves calling it such.
 The tail doesn't wag the dog. And this nation, which has made it's language the diplomatic language of the world and is transplanting 1t in colonies all around the globe. is under no obliga- tion any longer to call that language English.
 The relative population, wealth and power of the United States and Canada are quite sufficient to entitle them to a language of their own.
 It is no new proposition. Even as early as one of the first sessions of the continental congress, an ardent patriot moved that we renounce the English speech of the British oppressors and adopt language of our own. Roger Sherman thereupon moved to amend the resolution to read that we should retain English ourselves and compel the British to adopt some other language.
 Prof. Brander Matthews, who tells this story in Munsey's, calls attention to movement, not so drastic as that proposed by the revolutionary patriots, now being pushed by the American Language legion. That body is sending out appeals to the American people urg- ing them to unite in calling the moth CT language by the name of the children who speak it.''
 There is nothing to prove that the English language has done any more for this country than might have been done by French or German. The language as commonly spoken now in many sections is largely blend of many languages.
 America has contributed more than her share of new scientific terms and of words which, originating as slang, '' have grown into universal use.
 It is sufficient that the sweetest, purest English spoken in the world is not in England, but in Dublin, Ire land, and in our own south.
 Compared with the mellinuous limpid speech of these sections, the English of the real Englishman, with his con fusion of his h, sounds like the rattle of a nail machine.
 l It has been said by some wit that the German speaks from his stomach, the Frenchman from his lungs, the Englishman from his throat, and the American from his nose It is another distinction that entities us to name of our own.
 l To "speak United States" is slang phrase already widely in use. Let us hope that it will evolve into the dig nifed and exact phrase, "the Amer ican language
