POLICE INVESTIGATE
DEAL IN ROOF IRON


Chief Lsal was called to Waipahu
yesterday afternoon to investigate
case in which two cavalry troopers
We're. involved. On arriving he found
Deputy Sheriff Fernando. there and
the two men were with him. 1t seems
that yesterday morning there arrived
from Leilehua sixty sheets of CORFU
gated iron roofing, which were sold by
the troopers to a Japanese for SAG.
The two soldiers had been in Waipa-
HUI since Saturday and have had a
good time occupying the best apart
1nents in a japanese hotel They said
the hiron was originally the property
of a. man named Trfppler. a barber at
Leilehua. who had purchased it to put
on a house ne intended building for
himself and wife. The latter arrived
from the Coast recently, but did not
want to stay here and the husband
had sent her back to San Francisco.
Trippler, they said, wanted to dispose
of the iron and had turned it over to
them and they had it shipped to
Wahiawa in Tripplers name. One of
the soldiers signed Trippler's name to
the railroad receipt.
The chief telephoned to Lieutenant
Quinlan at the cavalry post, and he
directed that Lea1 put the men on the
evening train for return to the post,
and upon their arrival an investiga-
ton would be made. The Eva police
were of the opinion that the iron was
Army property.

MARINE

With 45o tons of freight for this
port, consisting mainly of sulphate of
ammonia, liquors and mutton, and a
full list of passengers. the Canadian
Australian steamer Mariana arrived
here yesterday afternoon after a fast
passage from the Colonies There were
only a few passengers for Honolulu,
and consequently about seventy-fve Of
those who were booked to leave this
port on the vessel have been forced to
remain behind
The Mariana took twenty-seven peo-
pie from Honolulu to the Northwest,
but it was only on account of the fact
that some of the officers of the ship
were willing to give up their staterocms
that number of these were able to
go. The purser Of the Mariana gave
up his room to Mr. and Mrs. Halstead
Of this city, and other officers on the
boat did likewise to passengers urgent
~ desiring to reach the mainland.
The Mariana sailed at midnight last
night for British Columbia.
AIameda's Big Booking.
Nearly one hundred and twenty peo-
pie are booked to leave for the main
land on the Oceanic liner Alameda,
when she sails from here on the return
voyage next Wednesday. The Alameda
is popular ship with local people and
there is always a clamor for staterooms
on the good old ferryboat. While there
are some of those booked on the Ala
media who may be able to get away on
the Korea the early part of next week,
it is certain that the Alameda will
have every bit of passenger space filed
when she leaves for the Coast.
w. g. Irwin & CO., local agents for
the Alameda, received the following
wireless from the steamer yesterday
showing that she is bringing her usual
load to the Islands: can Well, fine
weather, 1920 miles from Honolulu, 81
cabin and SO Storage passengers; 1900
tons general freight, mules, AS bags

new location is very handy, to the wa
rerfront and will undoubtedly be a
great deal better for masters ana
sailors who wish to confer with the
agent of the Sailor IS Union. Sorenson
has made himself generally well-liked
since he has been here.

ENGINE BLOWS UP ENROUTE
Engineer and Fireman Both Killed Both
Had Lived Here

Last Tuesday morning the engine
attached to a coast line passenger train,
running between Seattle and Belling-
ham, blew up near Mukilteo. Engineer
Jack Lenahan and Fireman Carl Bloom
were killed. Both men had lived here
and were we'll known. The former was
brother-in-law and the latter a cousin
of L. w. Bloom, who moved from here
to Wenatchee last fall.
Only for the fact that the train was
going at the slow speed Of ten miles
per hour, because of the dangerous
condition of the track at the point
where the accident occurred, there
would certainly have been other casu-
alties, as the force of the explosion was
terrific. The baggage and mail car
was completely wrecked and the en-
CINE reduced to a scrap heap.

Roy Bates Has Arm Torn Oft

Bates was employed about the Great
Northern pump house where a large
gasoline engine furnishes the power.
At the time of the accident his en-
ployment at this place had ceased and
he was waiting transportation to some
other point. He told the pumper he
would start the engine for him, last
Thursday afternoon and in oiling the
shaft his coat sleeve caught in some
way and his arm was wound around the
fast revolving shaft several times and
broken near the shoulder. His clothing
must have given way as the body was
thrown on the floor where he was found.
DR.. Hoxsey was called in and tempo
rarily dressed the mans wounds and
sent him to the Spokane hospital on
the night train.

LINCOLN

The hero lives not for his age alone,
The cause he has espoused
The spirit he has reused,
These live to ages later than his own.
The service rendered with benignant
grace,
Brave deeds that he has done,
Fresh laurels he has won
These are the pride, the glory of his
race.
From downy seeds borne lightly or
the wings
Of winds that Idly blow,
OF winds that widely go,
Another year growth more generous
springs.
The noble thoughts and purposes of
men
Fly to more spacious field,
There, terminating, yield
Rich harvest OF heroic deeds again.
And so it is that ever-thrifty Fame
With gentle fingers weaves
A wreath OF laurel leaves,
An aureole of praise round Lincoln S
name.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1909-02-12

Now if what the bankers say them
selves about the losses of the deposi-
tors thru bank failures the sum is so
insignificant, is, to use the language
OF the biggest bankers in the United
States at the national bankers congress,
last fall, where it was said the loss to
depositors thru bank failures is such a
negligible quantity that they (the de-
positors) have no cause for complaint. 4"
When the amount of the loss is so
insignificant then why do the banks op-
pose such law. But they do. The
very banker who made the above state
ment opposed the bank guarantee plan.
There is a good reason why bank
ers should assume this small risk. In
a given territory who, quicker than a
banker, would discover a weak or in
solvent bank. Your average banker
knows the tricks OF the banking trade.
He is also in constant touch with the
fellows OF the craft.
Now, who, sooner than banker, would
discover another resorting to those
tricks that keep a weak or insolvent
bank ahoat. Suppose some bank
between Seattle and Spokane, varying
from its former custom, made trdy
reports on its collections, overdrew its
account with correspondents, kited
checks, or resorted to some tricks that
laymen, newspaper men least Of all,
are supposed to know nothing about,
would not fellow bankers, long before
anybody else, especially the innocent
depositor, have good reason to inquire
into the condition of that bank. Quietly
of course, so as not to arouse suspicion
and cause injury if everything should
be found all right. 1t would not be
believed if bankers were to deny that
they had ways Of protecting themselves
against other misunderstanding, dis
honest or incompetent bankers-that
the patrons, especial the small patrons,
the working class, can not have.
Why should not the bankers assume
the responsibility for this negligible
quantity, as the Chicago delegate to
the bankers convention called the de-
dositors losses. With his opportunities
to stop losses, almost to prevent losses,
the hardship on the banker would be
slight. To use the bankers own
words, the loss would be negligible
quantity.

One Hundred Years Ago Today

Not having the time to write birth
day story for this issue of The Echo
use is made of the thoughts OF the
writer as expressed at the Lincoln
birthday services in the Congregational
church last Sunday, in the following
extract.
Today is the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.
We discuss the life of the great eman-
cipator in a reverential mood. His
birth was so humble, his childhood SO
full of hardship and privation, his man
hood so full of grandeur and nobility,
while his death was as sad as that OF
the Saviour of mankind, who, in his
patience, forbearance and great love OF
humanity, he resembled. Nor does
the resemblance stop here.
Abraham Lincoln's mission in life
was not unlike that of the Saviour S.
Jesus Christ came into the world to
save mankind. Abraham Lincoln seems
10 have been born to save a great
nation. And like him too, he gave up
his life as the fulfllment OF that mis-
sion. The tragedy which was enacted
at the nations capital on the 18th OF
April, 1865, will stand in history be-
side that which was enacted nineteen
hundred years ago in Palestine.
AS we today refer to George Wash
ington as the father of our country,
so will future students of history refer
to Abraham Lincoln as its saviour.
To the successful termination of the
most righteous war that ever was waged
for human liberty, free government
and the principles of right-more than
to any other man-more than to any
hundred men, is due to the guiding
genius of Abraham Lincoln. That war
not only struck the shackles from twelve
million slaves but it also welded into
one compact whole the loosely bound
states of the American Union. 1t for
ever settled a question that hung over
this government like nightmare from
its beginning-the doubtful right OF one
state to secede from the Union without
the consent of the others. 1t established
the principle that that which is intended
for the good Of the whole people is
better than that which is intended for
the good Of part Of the people. The
war of the rebellion, which Abraham
Lincoln lived to see practically closed,
settled the vexed question Of states
rights.
These are some of the things which
future historians will record OF him
whose life must always remain an in
spiration to all who revere and respect
the noblest and best there is in life.

The Todd Bank Deposit Bill

Representative Todd, of Whitman
county has introduced bill patterned
after the Oklahoma law which guaran'
tees bank deposits. Now it is true
this law was laid in democratic nest
and was Matched out by democratic
legislature setting on it. 1t appears to
be a perfectly good and reasonable law,
and because it originated among our
friends the political enemy, should
initiate nothing against it. The Post
Intelligencer said Of the Todd bill in
its issue Of January 80:
The law in Oklahoma, which at
tempts to guarantee the money OF bank
depositors, is still regarded as a mere
experiment. Opinion is widely at vari-
ance with respect to the merits of the
law. There has been no crisis to put
it to the test. Besides, the principle
of the law is not sound. 1t isn't right
to tax honest and intelligent bankers
in order to pay the debts of bankers
who are either not honest, or not in
telligent enough to conduct safe and
solvent banking business.
1t may be that some plan can be
worked out to make the rights of de-
positors more secure. But that plan
is not the Oklahoma plan, and it is not
10 be found in any plan embodying the
Oklahoma principle OF taxing good
men to pay bad mems debts.

Fruit growers from the lower Wenat-

that full crop will be gathered the
coming summer.

The Echo wants the state to buy
that bridge across the Columbia. The
last time they had the matter before
the legislature they wanted only $780,
900 for it. The price at which it is
proposed to unload it on the state this
time is 100000. Hurry up and buy
it, Mr.. Legislator, if you wait two years
longer it will cost more, and you have
to buy it in the end. Waterville is in
favor OF it now.

The state supreme court decided,
and very properly so that the custer
proceedings instituted by Lieutenant
Governor Coon would not lie. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Coon began
quo waranto proceeding against Hay
for making use of the newspapers to
advertise his candidacy for lieutenant
governor. In giving his opinion
Justice Chadwick said for himself
that that portion of the primary cleo
ton law which forbids the use OF the
advertising columns of a newspaper
by a candidate seeking Office is un-
constitutional, a position which the
Echo took during the campaign last
fall, and unhesitatingly announced.
This paper was not supporter of Mr..
Hay but is glad he won out. Mr..

Tales the Taller
Heard About Town

Bennie Vail, the well-known East
Superior street cafetiere,. is telling q
good one which he says came float.
ing up to him one time, when he was
visiting in one of the small cities in
the southern part of the state.
He had time to kill one evening,
and bought a ticket for the show al
the "opry house,. the only one the
town owned
Hermann, the magician, or one OF
his numerous imitators, was the at
traction and some great stunts in
magic were being; pulled off when
Bennie slipped down the center aisle
to his seat.
When ,Bennie got time to take
stock Of his neighbors he noticed at
his right a fat negress, who, con-
trary to the usual appreciation of her
race for entertainment, did not seem
to be enjoying the show to any great
extent
She squirmed in her seat and as
the tricks went along one after the
other, she gradually became more
nervous.
At last the magician took copy
of the local paper, and placing a
thick piece of flannel over it, read
it with ease through the flannel.
Bennie's colored friend on the right
fidgeted violently at this display of
the conjurer's power.
Then the man folded the flannel,
and again read a paragraph from the
paper through its doubled folds.
The negress started to rise, but
after struggle subsided into her
seat and watched what was coming
with open mouth and starting eyes
The magician folded the flannel
four times and read some more OF
the newspaper, with the same ease
as before. :
At this, Bennie's brunette neighbor
jumped from her seat, and started
to crowd past Bennie in her effort
to get to the aisle.
Whats the matter, woman ?''
| asked Bennie, as he pulled; his pa
tent feathers from under her feet

show out?" T. '&.
