The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-12-08
The Confession of the MCNamdraS

This paper RETAINED from expressing
an opinion as to the guilt or innocense
of the men charged with sending
twenty-one men, women and children
into eternity in the dynamiting of the
Los Angeles Times about one year ago.
Since the men charged with the com
mission OF the crime, the enormity Of
which it is hard to exaggerate, have
made a full confession, we deem it
right and proper that every civilized
thinking man, condemn the crime in
unmeasured terms. We do not believe
in capital punishment. The old Mo
sale law, on which capital punishment
is based, An eye for an eye and a
tooth for TOOTH does not dovetail
with modern civilization. Blood for
blood belongs to an age we have out
grown. Solitary confinement for life
was a punishment deserved by the
McNamaras long time to think over
the onormity and ferocity of their
crime, with the means of their manned
and dying victims ringing in their ears
is the punishment they deserve.
Think of it. These McNamaras had
no personal grievance against their
victims. To destroy the property and
iniure the business of a man they con-
sidered an enemy OF organized labor
they murdered innocent, inoffensive
men, women and children. The
wonder is that these men could not
understand they were doing an almost
irreparable injury to the cause they
would serve.
We believe in organized labor. The
rich and strong have organized. Who
would deny the right of the poor and
weak to do the same thing is the
mental slave of his prejudice and pas
sion. A dozen John Mitchells can not
undo the injury of the McNamaras to
the cause of organized labor.
The confession of the McNamaras
has convinced a lot of people that in
side OF the ranks OF organized labor
there is ring of terrorists who justify
indiscriminate murder by the ends they
seek. The sooner organized labor
cuts loose from this class the sooner
will they have the confidence and
neral support Of a very large-the
largest class-of the American people.

How It Came About

Many times was the question asked
last Tuesday, How did Mrs. A. j.
Martin come to be a candidate for
councilman at large on the citizens
ticket?" Mrs. Martin did not seek
place on the ticket. She was urged
by number of friends several days
previous to the election to allow the
use of her name and finally on the last
day but one before the election, after
being repeatedly urged she consented
to allow the use of her name. She had
lot of friends who worked loyalty and
hard by the use of stickers and urging
voters to write her name in the blank
left on the ticket for councilman at
large but was beaten by the narrow
margin of SO votes. Many voters thot
in asmuch as the socialists had the
names OF two women on their ticket it
would be fair to recognize the women
on the citizens ticket. Mrs. Martin
is pioneer resident of this town, hav-
ing come here fifteen years sago from
Missouri. She has always taken an
active part in every movement for the
benefit and upbuilding of the town.
For the past three years she has been
the Leavenworth representative of
Messrs. Hamilton & Son, undertakes
of Wenatchee. She has no regrets
over her defeat and feels very grateful
for the interest her friends took in her
| behalf.

The Echo Not a False Prophet

The readers Of this paper will re-
member that some two months ago it
INDUCED in predicting the result of the
election which was held last Tuesday.
Posing as a prophet has been con-
sidered unwise and dangerous to one
reputation, especially in relation to the
result of an election, the future state
of the weather or what kind of man
a girl is going to marry. Yet so reck-
less was the editor of his reputation,
and Indifferent to criticism, (which
finds explanation in the old axiom
Fools rush in where angels fear to
tread,") that he took the long chance,
and 10, and behold it turned out last
Tuesday that he was not false prophet.
Now the editor is not vain enough to
assert that he had overmuch to do with
the result, but he will modestly say
that he can not have done the cause
he espoused much harm. His faith in
the saving grace of the good sense and
sound discretion of the voters, espe-
cially the women, is nightly increased.

A FaIsehOOd Goes Home to ROOst

When Mr.. Corcoran says, A day or
two prior to publ cation (referring to
Mr.. Carlquist's ad printed in The Echo
November 24) the proof Of this ad was
shown to the postmaster, who stated
that in his opinion it ranged too close
to the forbidden line to be safe, and
counselled both the editor of The Echo
and the advertiser against printing it.
Mr.. Corcoran, knowingly, wilfully and
maliciously states falsehood. No such
language was addressed to either Mr..
Carlquist or the publisher of The
Echo by Postmaster Davis. To be
perfectly exact, on the morning OF
Tuesday, November 81, between 10
and II o'clock, the publisher of The
Echo, accompanied by Frank E. Carl
quist, who was elected Mayor last
Tuesday, called on the postmaster for
the express purpose of avoiding viola
ton of the postal laws, such as had un-
Willingly occurred in the Hub clothing
ad in the issue of November II, and
showed Mr.. Davis proof copy Of Mr.
Carlquists ad. Mr.. Davis looked over
the ad very carefully and used these
words, Il cannot see anything wrong,
with that" No conversation with Mr..
Davis, by either Mr.. Carlquist or the
publisher Of this paper, about violation
Of the law occurred until December /.
The statement herein contained was
shown to Mr.. Carlquist and Mr.. Davis
prior to its being printed in The Echo
and verified by them.
The publisher Of this paper admits
that he violated at least moral obliga-
ton when he neglected to complain
against Mr.. Corcoran for starting a fight
in this Office, but he never attempted
to assassinate the character of honor
able citizens by charging them with a
penitentiary offense to affect the result
of an election, as Mr.. Corcoran did
when he charged F. E. Carlquist,
elected mayor without opposition last
Tuesday, and Councilman Weigand,
also reelected last Tuesday and Coun-
Gilman Hamilton who was elected city
clerk at the same election. After max
ing the graft charge Mr.. Corcoran prac-
tically admitted to Mr.. K. K. Bowsher
that he knew the charges were not true
and made with the deliberate purpose
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1911-12-08

Of defeating an election. Only for the
fact that no one could be found who
would testify that the reputation of the
men charged with grating by Mr.. Cor
coran was in any way injuriously affect
ed he would have nice little damage
suit on his hands. In this instance his
lack of reputation for truthfulness prov
ed an effectual barrier against prose-
cution.
When the postofice Inspector receiv-
ed truthful statement, in no way at
tempting to shield the publisher of The
Echo, he wrote under date of Deem
Der Q, Il assure you there is no dis
position to put you to any undue in
convenience, and before any further
action, if any, is taken, you will be
interviewed by a postoffice inspector, "
He will be given every help this office
can command to ascertain all the facts
in relation to the violation of the postal
laws.
The moral to this story is, Tell the
truth even if the facts are against you.

a fight with an employee. Now, as a
good citizen, it may have been the
duty Of the writer to lodge complaint
against Mr.. Corcoran. If so, he failed
to do his duty.
In explanation he has only to say he
was so busy with his own affairs he took
no thought about the incident. That
Mr.. Corcoran is not taken seriously in
this community we have to call the at
tention of our readers to the charge
contained in an article printed in The
Echo Of Nov. 8, in which he launched
graft charge in a public place against
three citizens who were overwhelmingly
reelected to Office last Tuesday.
On Wednesday night, October Il,
1911, in the Opera bar room, in the
presence Of Charles Booth, Frank Davis
and w. ]. Watson, ]. w. Corcoran
made the following charge: There
is five thousand dollar graft in the
water bond proposition to be divided
between Councilmen Carlquist, Weigand
and Hamilton and that damned little
whiteheaded snot in the State Bank. "
He was called on in public meeting
to produce the evidence upon which
he based his charge, His reply was
that someone had told him so, but he
did not mention the name of his in
formant. The public remembers how
deathly silent he has been ever since
about the graft charge. Did the graft
originate in his own head? Was the
story launched for the sole purpose OF
blackening somebody's reputation in
the hope of defeating the bond issue?
1t looks that way now. Two weeks ago,
in conversation with K. K. Bowsher,
reporter for the Wenatchee Republic,
he said,. The bonds are defeated.
That graft charge has done the bust
ness. 1t don't make any difference
whether they were true or not, lot Of
people will believe they are"
