This Will Prove a Bad Year for Bosses

fit is given Us to read the political
horoscope Alright, We predict that all
bosses will fare badly this year OF
our Lord nineteen hundred and ten.
The political boss is bad enough, good
ness knowsl But he is not half so bad
as that other boss who stands behind
him. The boss higher up, the fnan-
cial boss.
Boss Cannon, Boss Aldrich, not to
mention the little shirt-tail straw bosses
scattered all over the state Of Washing
ton, would be comparatively harmless
if it were not for the fact that they all
receive their orders from the boss
higher up the Standard Oil, the
Sugar Trust, the Wool Manufacturers
Trust, the Morgan-Guggenheim Trust,
and many others Of the same kind that
belong to the trust brood. In that
quarter danger lies. They corrupt our
legislature; they furnish the money to
buy United States senators (Lorimer
and Guggenheim); they cast their evil
spell on our courts (Milo Root and
Gordon); they give their money freely
TO defeat such champions Of the com
mon people as Roosevelt and Poindex-
ter. When we say these things we
only repeat that which most men have
come to fully realize. Thousands Of
men have come to feel the grip OF the
trusts on their pocket books when they
pay for the increased cost of living.
A large class Of men, well-to-do-worth
ten thousand dollars; fifty, yes, one
hundred thousand-have come to real
ize that they, too, as well as the poor
devil OF working man whose family
depends on his daily wage, are at the
mercy OF the trusts just so long as they
are permitted to select the men that
make the laws for the states or the ma
ton, or the judges that construe them.
Joe Cannon is not the only man who
has failed to read the signs Of the
times. We have some in the state Of
Washington, yea, right here in Chelan
county, who will have to be beaten to
death (not iterally) before they will
get their eyes opened. They will get
their beating next November.

About that Water Analysis

AT the request Of Nh. Jacobsen, The
Echo last week printed an analysis OF
the drinking water supplied TO the
people Of this town by the Tumwater
Light & Water Co., Of which Nj. ia
cobscn is general manager. The Echo
suggested to Mr.. Jacobsen that, In
view Of the fact that the water OF the
Wenatchee river had been reported
from Wenatchee and Cashmere as con
tanning disease germs and unfit for hu-
man consumption, it would be more
satisfying to the people Of Leavenworth
if the analysis showed on its face that
an examination had been made by a
bacteriologist for the presence OF dis
ease germs. An analysis such as that
made by Prof. H. G. Byers, Of the
Washington university, may indicate
the absence Of any deleterious mineral
substance and yet be totally unfit for
human use on account Of the presence
Of disease germs, such as typhoid.
which the water is said 10 contain.
The examination for disease germs is
made altogether different from an ex-
animation for chemical properties. In
examining any substance for disease
germs the principal agent is the micro
scope. In examining for chemical
constituents the first thing is TO reduce
the water by evaporation TO solids. and
if the water had not been first subject
ed to microscopic examination for bac-
terra or disease germs, after boiling
none would be present. 1t was the
absence of this fact that made the anal
ysis printed last week unsatisfactory.
For the purpose OF determining this
point, Mr.. Jacobsen agreed with the
editor of The Echo to take another
sample of the water out Of the hydrant:
and submit it to some competent bac'
teriologist TO determine about its free
dom from disease breeding germs
This will be done at an early date and
the result published in this paper.

Death of Harvey ". Scott

The veteran editor OF the Portland
Oregonian died last Sunday afternoon
at Baltimore, Maryland, after a surgical
operation, at the age Of y. For forty
FIVE years he was editor Of the Ore
gonian, and made that paper the most
influential in the great Northwest. He
was born a poor boy in Illinois in 1888
and moved with his parents to Oregon
in 1852. With money earned by hard
work he secured an education after
coming TO Oregon, and commenced
work on the paper with which he was
ever afterward identified in 1865. His
was strong, rugged, honest and fear
less personality. The kind that is be-
coming scarce. His influence for ali
that was good and true is the monu-
ment that will endure longest.

We feel that the University Of Puget

Lets His Zeal Outrun His Judgment

Poindexter is making his campaign
on what he did to Joe Cannon. Poin-
dexter is ungenerous in robbing the
democrats OF the honor Of unhorsing
your Uncle Joseph. If any cr- IS
due for that gallant affair il is " the
democratic minority wholly, for without
the aid Of those friends of his Poindex-
ter would have been helpless and harm
less.-Oroville Gazette.
Let's see. Wasn't Uncle Joe saved
from defeat in the organization Of the
house last November by Congressman
Fitzgerald and dozen other Tammany
congressman nom New York in return
for his help TO defeat certain race track
legislation in that state. Anything
very bad about Nh. Poindexter asking
the better element in the democratic
party to help take from that most foul
mouthed man who was ever in con-
gress powers to which he had no right
He had built up a system which the
late gifted Francis w. Cushman de-
clued in a speech delivered April IS,
1902, TO be Rotten at both ends.
Rotten at one end because it robs the
individual members in this house Of
the power that the constitution Of his
country and the credentials Of his peo-
pie entitle him to; it is rotten at the
other end because il vests power in
other men that they have no right to,
and often places on them duties they
have not the capacity to fulfill" Again,
on final passage. after they were made
better, or at least more fair to the
great mass Of the people as against the
interests" the record shows that Mr.
Poindexter voted for every one of the
Taft bills about which We hear SO
much. Have you forgotten that infa-
nous railroad bill drawn by Attorney
General Wickersham and how the wick
edness was knocked out of it by Poin-
dexter and the other insurgents. Your
abuse OF Mr.. Poindexter for voting
against Cannonism should be hurled al
the republicans who voted for him two
years ago, when he frankly told them
he would do that if elected.

OrovilIe Billings. a republican poll

Oroville Billings, republican poll
tician of the stand-very-pat variety,
living in Tacoma, says Even if Poin-
dexter receives eighty per cent Of the
popular vote, that ninety per cent OF
the legislature will be Of the old stand
pat kind who will see Poindexter in hell
before they will elect him senator"
Mr.. Billings may live TO regret this
statement even as much as will mem
bers of the legislature who even at
tempt to thwart the will Of the people.
Does anyone think for one moment
that the people would permit them
selves TO be cheated out Of their choice
as expressed at the polls? Against
the tremendous odds pitted against him
should MI. Poindexter be elected, as
now seems morally sure, those who
plot TO thwart the wishes OF the people
as expressed at the ballot box, should
be convinced and take warning that
the voters are very much in earnest and
fixed in their opinions. This earnest
ness and fxity Of opinion will grow
stronger and more intense as time and
the election passes by. The marplots
who are behind this movement should
take warning in time.

The SOuthside Road to Be Approved

On the best of authority The Echo
is informed that the early letting Of the
contract for the building Of the south
side road between Leavenworth and
Peshastin has been determined on.
The project for the building Of the
Wenatchee avenue extension under
the state aid road law having for the
present been abandoned by the people
Of Wenatchee, who, we are told have
decided to recommend the early
completion OF the road in which Pc
shastin and the people Of this town are
so deeply interested.
The proposed new road between
Leavenworth and Peshastin will cut the
distance to be travelled down by one
half, give US a practically level road
in place Of very billy road and put il
on ground where firm roadbed can
be maintained turnout the year II our
Wenatchee friends knew how much
this improvement would rebound to
their own benefit we are quite sure
there never would have been an OBJ
struction interposed to its early com
pletion. Thus out Of a full and fair
understanding comes peace, harmony
and benefit to all concerned.

The newspapers Of the state that are
supporting the senatorial candidacy of
Judge Burke say the Tacoma conyen-
ton was dominated by John L. Wilson,
and that they incorporated some very
foolish things in the platform. With
these conclusions everybody who is not
in John LIS camp will agree. Ii was
composed of all the old political high
binders, oficeholders and grafters who
have fattened off the old method OF
getting the swag. To US belong the
Offices and the swag that attaches
thereto. OF course we want the rank
and file to be with us-they are useful
on election day." That's it, exactly.
The only use the professional politician
has for the voter is to keep him in
office. The voter is not supposed 10
have enough sense to know what is
good for the country and the party,
else why does he always insist on going
to the convention to make the platform
and name the ticket? Why is he
afraid of the direct primary? Is he
afraid the people might not agree with
him about who should be named to
make laws? You rarely hear Of
farmer, a working man, or one who
only takes a passive interest in politics,
being sent to a state convention. Some
one who is in Office or wants in, some
pestiierous little ofice-holder who owes
his Office TO the ins higher up is usu-
ually inuusted with the important Office
Of making the platform and naming the
ticket which you, poor, ignorant, but
useful voter, must support.

Some east-side republicans give as
their reason Tor voting against Poindex-
ter for senator that it might result in
defeating Wesley L. Jones four years
hence, when he comes up for re-elec-
ton. Will this reason appeal to the
man who wants clean, honest, fearless
and able man in the United States SEN
ate from Washington? Would he vote
for any old thing just to save Mr..
Jones7 Why not ask that gentleman
to move to the west side OF the noun
tains before he comes up for election
again.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-08-12

Mr.. Burke, for whom this paper en-
tertains the most profound respect, has
had the manhood to say that if he fails
to receive the popular Endorsement Of
the voters at the primary he will under
no circumstances be a candidate for
United States senator before the legis-
lature. Note the diferencel That
political juggler, John L. Wilson,
whose capacity for tTickery and Jug
glery is exceeded by his brazen efron-
terry in claiming the credit for every
good thing that was ever done for the
state. He says he viii submit TO the
will Of the voters, provided" those
only who he calls republicans take
part in the primary. Doubtless there
are those like the late H. o. Have
meyer, who contributed to the cam
paign funds Of both parties, calling
themselves democrats, who prefer Mr..
Wilson or someone Of his political kid
ney, to Mr.. Poindexter, and no one
who knows the character of the man
and his burning zeal for Office doubts
but he would be glad to get enough OF
this class of votes to nominate him.

Fhe withdrawal OF Judge Chase from
the race for representative clears the
political atmosphere. Since il became
known that T. H. Atkinson, Of Entiat,
would likely enter the race for repre-
sentative, the progressive republicans
were apprehensive as TO the result.
Judge chase is an old an highly re-
spected citizen, who has in the past
done valiant service for the people of
Chelan county, not in official capacity,
for he has never held an office, but in
all other ways that a good conscien-
tious citizen can do good. The Judge
is getting on in years and has an apple
orchard which he says requires his at
tention and for these reasons, and be-
cause he wanted progressive repub-
lican elected to the legislature he de-
cided to Withdraw from the race in IA
vor Of Mr.. Atkinson. The editor of
this paper has not the pleasure Of Mr..
Atkinson's acquaintance but is assured
that he is a man Of more than ordinary
ability, backed with the almost unan-
imous support of the people Of the
Entiat valley, and that he will take the
pledge to support the choice of the
people for United States senator. This
leaves the fight for the nomination be-
tween r. F. Holm, Of Wenatchee who
was the representative in the last leg
islature from Chelan county, and who
we are told, refuses absolutely to pledge
himself TO abide by the result Of the
primary election for United States Sen
ator. Being firm in the belief that the
progressive element in the republican
party is in an overwhelming majority
in this county we consider the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Atkinson certainty.

The shooting Of Mayor Gaynor was
a dastardly act which every night think
ing man will condemn. Make the
tenure of office depend solely on merit
thruout our entire civic structure, and
removal follow as the act of civil ser
vice board and there could be no per-
sonal animosity against a certain man
in the event OF his removal from office.

ROW OVER FAMOUS PAINTING

Spain and Germany pIsputlng Regard
Ing the Gale Of Van der Goes.
PARIS. June 29-Through the action
Of the Duke Of Alba. whose suit for
the hand of Q Washington heiress
who was recently married to ar
American. was q matter of common
report, there has arisen between the
Spanish and German governments q
diplomatic incident likely to cause the
expenditure of oceans OF ink.
In q convent at Monforte there Is a
painting by the Flemish artist, Hugh
Van der Goes. which has been an OBJ
ject Of envy to many collectors. The
Duke Of Alba IL patron" OF the con
vent, and considered that his rights
as patron--a survival Of earlier days
entitled him to dispose of the pic
ture to the Berlin Museum for $340.

When the news Of the sale became
known the Spanish papers raised q
hullabaloo. declaring that ducal pa
tronage was extinct. the privilege not

and the Spanish government inter
vened. The minister OF fine arts tele
graphed to the governor OF the pro
vince In which Monforte Is situated tc

ders were received simultaneously
