Score One More for Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt's -declination to
sit at the same table with a man who
has been VIGOROUSLY corrupt, even tho
he was a United States senator, has
been adversely criticised by some
newspapers. According to the views
Of this paper, il was highly proper
and courageous thing to do.
The man who deliberately plans to
corrupt the government destroys re-
spect for law and order, and is a most
dangerous enemy. The harmful eff
fects Of a Lorimer in public life are
vastly greater than a common thief, yet
the papers that disapprove Of Col.
Roosevelt's refusal to sit at table with
Senator Lorimer would not hesitate to
applaud him for declining to sit down
at a table and touch elbows with a com
mon thief Yet to refuse to meet on
social equality Mr.. Lorimer, the mil
Ionaire, the United States senator, the
bribe giver, the corupter Of public Of
fcials-a more dangerous enemy to
civil government than any common
thief who ever did two years in the
penitentiary for stealing horse-these
worshippers Of money hold up their
hands in horror.
We need the example Of a Roosevelt
to stiffen our moral back bone. Down
right cowardice or hypracy only can
account for every self-respecting man
failing to do just what Col. Roosevelt
did.
Vigorous and positive public opin-
ion, the refusal to recognize as social
and political equals at public func-
tons men who are known to be guilty
Of crimes against the public, will have
more effect in lettering others than an
occasional Jail sentence.
Col. Roosevelt's example deserves
to be commended rather than con-
demned. Senator Lorimer is public
enemy who should be whipped from
the presence of all decent people with
the rod of public opinion.

Difficulties in Projected Highway

Engineer Kaup, of the state highway
commissioners office, was in Wenat-
chez Tuesday to confer with the We
natchee Commercial club highway
committee in regard to the road be-
tween Wenatchee and Ellensburg.
He has gone over the proposed route
via Monitor and finds that it is not
practicable, as the grade would exceed
) per cent.
1t is possible that feasible route
may be found by way Of the Squill-
chuck, and some engineering work
will be done there to ascertain the
facts. The engineering work is being
done under an appropriation author
lied by the board OF commissioners of
Chelan county.
If practical route to Ellinsburg can
be found, Legislative aid will be asked
for the construction Of the road.

Lay of the Minstrel

When I cash in, and this poor race
is run, my chores performed and all my
errands done, I know that folks who
mock my efforts here will, signing,
bend above my lowly bier and bring
sweet garlands worth three bucks a
throw and paw the ground in ecstacy
OF woe.
Friends will wear crepe bowknots on
their tiles, while I from heaven look
down some million miles, and wonder
why these persons never knew how
smooth I was until my spirit flew.
When I cash in I will not care yen
for all the praise bestowed upon me
then. Serene and quiet in my narrow
box, I shall not need the laudatory talk;
and all such vain and after-death dis
play will just be 50 much money
thrown away.
So, tell me now, while I am yet on
earth, your estimate of my newspaper
worth. Oh, tell me what lulu bird
am, and fill me full of taffy and Of
iorn

Primary Election Notes

The total vote polled at the primary
election in this precinct on Tuesday
was 282, while the books showed that
$50 had registered. 1t is estimated
that fully so voters of the precinct
have failed to register up to date. At
the primary il was not possible to get
more than an approximation of the
strength OF either OF the political par
ties, as both sides scratched freely in
the interest Of some local favorite.
Voters are not thoroughly familiar with

The InSurgent Victory Last tuesday

Not since the insurgent movement
began has standpatism received such a
knockout blow as was dealt it last
Tuesday by the voters Of the state Of
Washington when Miles PoindeXter re-
ceived the Endorsement Of more than
two-thirds Of the voters Of the state
against seven other candidates, and
elected a solid progressive delegation
to congress.
Other states. many Of them, in the
past few months have rejected stand
patism, but it remained for the state Of
Washington to deal a deathblow to the
old order Of things political.
Mr.. Poindexter accepts very mod
estly, very becomingly, his victory, and
says it was the principles he stood for
that made his great victory possible.
The voters were tired Of boss rule.
They saw in the Tacoma convention,
made up Of the old guard, lot Of po-
litical bosses, drunken and besotted
with a long lease of political pull,
blinded by prejudice and sel-interest,
trying to force on the voters a Milo
Root ticket which had made them sick
two years ago. That was the straw
which broke the political back OF
standpatism in this state. If anything
was needed to make victory doubly
sure at the polls, that political debauch
at Tacoma supplied the cinch. From
that time on the standpatters were
fighting on the defensive, inevitably
doomed to defeat.
Having decided on the principles,
the voters found in Miles Poindexter a
representative worthy Of their conf
dence because he had been tried and
made good. When he went to Wash
ington two paths were presented to
him. One, rose-embowered and sweet
smelling, led TO the castle OF the rich
and powerful bosses, few in number
and all but omnipotent. The other,
stony and steep, led to the humble
abode of the poor and lowly, with but
little OF this worlds goods, but what
they lacked of wealth they made up in
numbers. He chose the latter, and
cast his political fortunes with the poor
but oppressed many. At time when
nothing but a stout heart and serene
confidence in the justice Of his cause
supported him, Miles Poindexter stood
up, cried out and spared not, in his
fight for the rights Of the many. 1t is
because of his brave stand and good
fight against the embattled interests in
congress that the voters focked to his
standard last Tuesday,
The Echo believes he is worthy of
the confidence and trust the people Of
the state of Washington have imposed
in him. In the questions that come
up for decision he will know neither
an east or west side Of the mountains,
but will deal justly with all the inter
ests of the state.
Well done, good and faithful serv-
ant; thou hast been found faithful in
few things, we will make thee ruler
over many.

Immigration Commissions
 Tour yo Junketing Trip TOO BUSY TO SEE SIGHTS
Probability That There Will Be No Federal Incorpora- tion Law at This Session. House Votes For a Blu reau of Mines

Washington. Jan. 25.-Declaring that James A. Patten. secretary of the Inn migration Restriction league, mad told a wicked. cruel, deliberate and mali cious lie" when he gave Representative Macon of Arkansas the information upon which the latter based his speech yesterday. Representative Bennett of New York made a vigorous defense of the joint immigration commission in the house today.
 Tn the four months the commission was in Europe, he said. he had little time to devote to sightseeing. "l went through Rome without seeing St Peters or the Appian Way" declared MT. Bennett. and he added that he had made only two flying trips to Paris. and in each instance he had left by the next train.
 Mir Bennett said the immigration commission had accomplished much good since it was created. having brok- en up the white slave traffic." taken steps to exclude alien criminals, and greatly improved steerage conditions in immigrant ships.

0n Extent of Restrictions to
 Be Put Upon Peers BINDING HAND AND FOOT
Of Lords Alone Will Hold In Line the Irish and Lab orites, Necessary to the Success of the Ministerial Program

London. Jan. 25.-F'ive hundred and sixty members of the new parliament have been elected. They are distrib- uted as follows: Unionists, 23S: lib- erals, 37 nationalists. 72.
 The announcement of unionist gains continues with unbroken regularity. OutOf thirty three results declared to- day. the unionists mad nine gains. of Ireland. Against these, the liberals were able to get only two gains. in Scotland.
 Among prominent members elected today were Austen Chamberlain, who won for the unionists in Worcester shire East, and Sir A. F. Acland- Hood. the chief unicnist whip, who retained his seat for the west division of Som- ersetshire.
 The elections will continue through out the week. but the chances of the unionists obtaining majority. or of the liberals getting enough seats to render them independent of the labor ties and the nationalists. have disap- peared.
 The king will open parliament with full state ceremony on February 15. Queen Alexandra twill accompany him.
 According to rumor from a reliable source, Premier Asquith's present idea is to propose that the house of lords be deprived of the power of vetoing finance bills. but it is practically cer- tain that such a restricted measure will not satisfy the nationalists. to say nothing of the radicals. Unless the government proposes to limit the lords veto on all legislation. it is ex- ceedingly likely there will be a split in the liberal ranks.
 Chancellor Lloyd George. speaking at Stourbridge tonight, seemed to have some notion of this kind in mind. He said the election had been won by a bold. strong policy. and that if the liberal leaders now listened to coun- sels of timidity and faint-heartedness the democracy would be disgusted and would abandon them.
