The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-03-25

The Hills, father and son, James j.,
chairman OF the board of directors, and
Louis W., president of the Great Nor
them railway, have recently given out
interviews to the newspapers on cur
rent topics. The senior Mr.. Hill dis
courses on the causes of the high cost
OF living, a most prolific subject in
these later days. He contends that
high living, rather than the high cost
OF living is answerable for the diff
Guilty some of US have in making ends
meet. The president of the G. N.
says in unequivocal English that Gift
ford Pinchot is an impractical fool,
and that the people OF the east do not
know what the west needs and should
not be allowed to dictate the conserva-
ton policy Of the government. The
residents OF the eastern states, the
present victims of an unwise govern
mental policy in the past, would have
US benefit by their experience and we
see no reason why we should not give
them heed. The Hills have undoubt-
eddy been the benenfciaries under the
present system and standing on a ped
estal of millions, largely unearned in
crement, they can talk about the diff
Guilty the less fortunate have in max
ing living with complacency that is
quite charming.

The Echo recently received two con-
signments Of government seed. One
from Senator Jones and the other from
our own congressman, Miles Poindex-
tel. These seeds are the very best and
most approved of their respective vari-
cites. The government spends thous-
ands Of dollars every year in expert
menting with seeds, plants, grains, for
age and grasses from every habitable
portion of the globe in an effort to
secure those which are best adapted to
our land and will prove most product
i've and profitable. On every package
is printed request for report on re-
suits obtained SO that the government
may disseminate the information thus
obtained and determine on further ex-
Fermentation. Two packages Of seeds
will be given to every one who calls.

Chancellor Day, he of that other
Standard Oil University, located at
Rochester, N. Y, threw another fit a
few days ago. The present target for
attack is no less a parsonage than our
president, who he soundly trounces for
his advocacy of laws in restraint of the
rapacity of the malefactors Of great
wealth, and intimates that if the prose-
cution of trusts continues there will be
a panic. Evidently we are between

Our laws seem to be so made that
everything that tends to benefit man
kind or develop into what we call
wealth is, by legal gravitation, forced
into the lap OF corporations.
No. This paper can not lend aid to
the Western Conservation League, for
the reason it believes it to be on the
wrong track. 1t believes the laws re-
lating to public lands, especially those
relating to mineral lands of every char
acter, should be changed, radically
changed; and until shown, will con-
tend for federal control of all power
sites.

The ordinance against stationary
awnings went into effect this week and
every awning in the business part of
town was torn down. While some of
US may not have relished the order and
thought it an invasion of our rights
still their removal made such an i'm
provement in the appearance of the
business streets that few if any regrets
have been expressed.

TOWN COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS
Six thousand Dollars in License Money
A Small Number of Bills
Allowed

When the town council met in reg
ular session last Tuesday evening every
member of the official family was in
his place when the hour of meeting
arrived.
After the usual formalities of open
ing had been gone thru, the first mat
ter to come up was the report of the
committee on the removal of the
Turner house. The committee re-
ported that w. ]. Moon had been en-
ployed to move the house from the
street at cost of SOL 90, and that the
building would be removed as soon as
the ground was settled.
The street and alley committee was
empowered to do all that was necessary
to drain the streets and alleys in the
Leavenworth Gardens addition.
The mayor was given permission to
build five foot sidewalk in from OF lot
/, in block %, First addition.
Doctor Hoxsey presented commu
nication calling attention to the neces
sity Of removing garbage from Ninth
street. The marshal was instructed to
have the street cleared.
A communication was received from
residents living in Central addition,
asking that a franchise be given the
Tumwater Light & Water Co. to lay
water pipes and erect light and tele-
phone poles. There was opposition to
granting a franchise of the kind men
toned in the petition. The members
of the council seemed to be of the
opinion that the company could lay
water mains and erect poles on the
same condition as had been heretofore
granted. The use of the streets and
alleys for this purpose had always been
freely given, and the matter of a fran
chise had not been contingent on this
permission.
A lease Of the strip of land on Front
street so feet wide and 1872 feet long,
from the viaduct west, from the railroad
company, was presented and accepted
by the council. The lease is based
on consideration of one dollar and
terminates on notice by the railroad
company to vacate.
The council decided to meet the
following morning and go over the
ground and decide what was neces-
sary to do to make the strip of land
available for park. From the opin-
ions expressed by the members of the
council, it developed that they were in
favor of clearing the ground as soon as
the ground dried and doing all that was
necessary, such as clearing the plot of
brush, rock and rubbish, having the
ground plowed and leveled so that
grass may be sown and trees and shrub
berry set out and fence built to pro-
tect it. 1t was stated that Station
Agent Woodrow had said he would
have the rock removed if they were
placed near the right-of-way.
Six applications for saloon licenses,
each accompanied by a check for one
thousand dollars, were presented. The
licenses were granted to take effect
April 1st.
The following bills were allowed:

VICTORY CLAIMED FOR
SHERMAN OVER ROOSEVELT
For Temporary Chairman Of New York
State Republican Convention.

Albany, N. y, Sept. 20-A clear ma
jority of So votes for the selection OF
Vice President Sherman as temporary
chairman of the New York state re-
publican convention over Colonel
Roosevelt was claimed tonight by Will
state primaries today.
Mr.; Barnes tonight gave out this
statement:
"The result Of thday's primaries ends
the contest over the temporary chair
nlanship of the republican state con-
vention, and gives Vice President
Sherman a Vicar majority of 55 votes
over both the Roosevelt -Griscom Gre
nier faction and the doubtful delegates.
Mr.. Roosevelt was defeated in the state
committee by a vote of 20 to Is, and
then Mr.. Sherman was unanimously
chosen as the temporary presiding Of
ficer of. the state convention. To ques-
ton that determination on the floor of
the convention is equivalent to boiling
a nomination. This is known as po-
lirica1 welching, and had Mr.. Roose-
welt defeated Mr. Sherman in the state
committee that would have been the
end of the controversy. Mr.. Roosevelt
has not acted as Mr.. Sherman would
have done in questioning the unan-
irnous action of the committee. They
are quail before the party. Mr.-Roose-
welt has no superior rights as man
to any other man."
Replying to Colonel Roosevelt's de-
nial that he had gone to New Haven,
Conn, to seek President Tafts help,
NIr. Barnes said:
1.-THE fact that Mr.. Roosevelt went to
New Haven covers the situation. His
speeches in the west would not ind1-
cate that he would go to President
Taft for anything but help

SOBRIETY IN THE ASCENDENCY.
STATISTICS FROM LONDON.
Decrease of Drunkenness in England,
Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Washington, Sept. 20.-Sobrety IL
in the ascendency in England, Ireland,
Scotland and Wales, and licensed pub
lie houses are decreasing in number,
according to statistics communicated
to this government by Consul General
John L. Griffiths of London. The de-
crease of drunkenness is attributed
primarily to two causes. the increase
in the price of whiskey and the organ
ization of social clubs where persons
may drink without frequenting licensed
premises
In England and Wales in 1908 con-
victions for drunkenness aggregated
1S7,S03, while in 1909 the total was
169,51S, a decrease of nearly ne-tenth.
The decrease in Scotland, outside of
the towns, for 1909, as compared with
1908, WAS ~19--per cent. In Scottish
towns the decrease in drunkenness
amounted to 27 per cent. while in Ire
land the percentage of decrease from
1908 was s per cent A greater de-
crease WAS shown in the number Of
convictions of women than of men.
Coincident with these figures. sta
tistics show a falling off in the number
of licenses in England and Wales in
1909 of 1,410. The total number of
licenses in force Jan. I, 1910, was g.

BRYAN BOLTS THE HEAD
OF HIS STATE TICKET
Because Of Position Taken by Nominee
on Liquor Question.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept 2O.-In a state
ment in which he declares that the
crusade which he feels impelled to
wage against the liquor interests of
the state and nation overshadows a
personal and political friendship of
twenty years, William J. Bryan this
evening announced he had bolted the
head of the democratic state ticket in
Nebraska and would not support
James c. Dahlman for governor.
Mr. Bryan says he regrets that he is
compelled to take the stand he does
his first departure from political regu-
larity-but says he feels it his duty to
do so because of the position taken by
the democratic nominee >on the liquor
question. The statement does not in
dicate that Mr.. Bryan will support the
candidate of another party. but an
1iounces that he. is d pronounced advo-
cate of county option and the early sa-
loon closing law, both of which, he
insists. are menaced by Mr.. Dahlmans
candidacy.

Just before Colonel Roosevelt started
back from his editorial office to oyster
Bay by automobile late this afternoon
Mr.. Griscom appeared. He talked for
some time with the colonel, and then
issued this statement:
II suggested to Mr.. Roosevelt that
he meet and talk with the president.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that he would be
delighted to do so. There was no men,
ton made by either of us of any pur-
pose in the meeting.
The president volunteered to me
that he was glad to reiterate his views
expressed in his letter. to me of Au-
gust 20, regarding the situation Of the
republican party in New York, and
stated to me substantially what has
appeared in the newspapers as tele-
graphed from the presidential train.

headquarters at Saratoga. He said to-
day that c. V. Collins, state superin-
tendent of prisons. who he has an
has engaged the first floor Of cot
.tage. The colonel will leave New
York for Saratoga Monday.
1t was learned that the fight of the
Roosevelt forces at Saratoga is to be
an open one, and that no candidate has
been agreed upon for governor or any
other office. 1t is expected the Roose-
velt men will go to Saratoga without a
slate and that there will be no indica-
ton which one of the dozen or more
men who have been mentioned prom
inently for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton will receive their support There
is known to exist, however, a feeling
that an upstate man should be chosen
if it is possible to agree upon one.
