Flynn WIN Have Advantage.

The ten-round scrap between Bat
Ting Levinslky and Porky Flynn at
the National Sporting Club, New
York, tomorrow night is another prob
lem. As Flynn, weighing 100 pounds,
will be twenty pounds heavier than
the Battler, many shrewd judges of
boxing fancy his chances. But phys
ical condition may pull Levinsky
through. The latter has rested since
the McAllister bout and will enter the
ring in fine shape. He is younger
than Flynn by several years and has
been fighting steadily for six months
1t was rumored yesterday that the
New York State Boxing Commission
might decide soon to allow decisions
to be rendered by two ringside judges.
1t might do no harm to experiment.

.WE|NERT CONFIDENT.
of TRIMMING KENNY.
Orange Sensation Keen to
Score Decisive Win Over
Australian Boxer.
RIVAL HAS FINE RECORD

Charley Weinert is confident that he
will beat Roy Kenny, at Browns
Gymnasium, New York, tomorrow
night in a bout that is scheduled to
go ten rounds. Weinert is desirious
of ending the bout in short order and
he will endeavor to put Kenny away
before ten rounds. With his recent
victory over Battling Levinsky, Vein
ert ought to live UP to his predic-
tions, although Kenny is said to be
a tough boy.
Kenny's notable victories in the
Orient were against Vogt, the artil-
leryman champion, whom he knock
ed out in four rounds and Jerry Jer-
ONE, the negro, whom he finished in
three. 1t took Dave Smith, the Aus
tralian champion, eighteen rounds to
beat Jerome and the police stopped
the bout at that.

Lighting Rate Story Delayed

Both lack of space and time to
properly prepare the figures in the
article on the electric lighting subject,
which we promised to print in this
weeks Echo, accounts for its non-ap-
pearance. To properly present the
matter considerable ground had to be
gone over, and while many OF the fig
ures are matter OF record great many
others could only be arrived at by ap-
Proclamation and to make these reason
ably correct, and therefore convincing,
took more time than was anticipated.
Next week, however, we propose to
put the whole matter of lighting rates,
and the reasonableness Of our conten-
ton that the rates should be, and in
justice to the public ought to be, re-
duced, without impairing the financial
standing OF the Tumwater Light & Wa
ter Co.. or reducing the net revenue
beyond what the company is justly
and fairly entitled to earn on the mon
ey invested.

BIoated Capitalist With Sharp Tongue

The controversy between Senator
Borah and George w. Perkins is
getting warmer. When the Sena-
tor charged Perkins with getting seven
million dollars for organizing the har-
vester trust and paying girls IS per
week salary, he evidently went astray
on facts. Mr.. Perkins says he does
not know exactly what his profits were,
< that they were less than hall
-, on in the harvester affair, and the
scale is a myth born in the fer
81. imagination Of the Senator. AS a
or.roversialist he ranks up near the
top. He is one millionaire plus brains.

The following communication reach
ed the Echo Office this week, the writ
er asking US to print the same or hand
to the City council.
Gentlemen:
Last summer I often heard
strangers remark that "Leavenworth was
one of the hardest towns in which to
get drink of water" and 1, resident
for years, could not direct them to a
proper drinking faucet,
I have drank the warm muddy water
of the Sacramento river, the alkali Of
the east and brackish water Of the far
north, and one has to sample them all
to appreciate the full value of Leaven-
worth's best, 1t is one OF our finest
products, and chief assets in exploiting
cheap and monumental advertising,
For by their fruits shall ye know
them" Now few bubbling fountains,
located at convenient places would be
practical work for the city dads, or
the Womens club to advertise the
town, l would suggest a band concert
in the park and collection taken up
for a central drinking fountain, if only a
IS cent inverted bowl or a more ex-
pensive GODDESS of Liberty dispensing
the nectar of the Gods. Lets have a
few sample stations to advertise LeaV-
enworth. Aqua Pura.

The new council and mayor went
into office on a wave of economy, but
il anything has been done to reduce
expenses, we have not been able to OBJ
serve it. On the contrary, it looks
very much as if higher rate OF taxa
ton will prevail next year. An abort
i've attempt was made to reduce the
day and night police officers salaries.
Everybody knows how this ended.
Now we are told that it is impossible
to reduce their salaries. Already sew.
eral new Offices have been created and
others are in process of creation. Then,
there is the proposed sewer system,
which, it is true, is badly needed; but
not any more so than a new city hall
The old city hall is too small for the
growing need of Leavenworth. We
are in the hole and the only way to gel
out, is to induce more people to come
here and swell the taxable values by
building houses and improving proper
ty, so we can divide the taxes among
larger number.

AmalgamatiOn is Not Possible

Why can not the republicans and
progressives unite2 II reiteration, al
ways from republican source, could
bring about union it would long since
have been an accomplished fact. By
uniting the republican party has every
thing to gain and nothing to lose. The
progressive party stands to lose its
identity, its principles, everything for
which its name stands. But can the
two parties unite7 Would amalgama-
lion mean that the members OF the par
r.. those Of Its number who were re-
rh.ican, would again become repub-
N. To both OF these questions we
sUer, emphatically, no. A small per
centage probably would, All those
VINO scent place and power in going
back would not hesitate, but that
large number that went into the move
ment, with no hope Of political reward,
but simply because they believed in
the progressive principles advocated
by the new party will never go back
so long as the Barneses, the Penroses,
the Lorimers and the Cannons, who
are so numerous in the republican par
ty, remain in control, and are opposed
to all progress. Standing still is look
ed upon as a virtue by staunch repub-
licans. The republican is the ultra
conservative party in the political life OF
the nation. If the progressive party
were to disintergrate tomorrow, not one
third OF its members would return to
the republican party. Wilson democ-
racy comes much nearer answering the
average progressive's political ideals.
But the progressive party will not unite
with the republican party. Neither
will it disintergrate. 1t will be repre-
sented in the next national congress by
an increased number. In the mean
time at the by-elections the vote will
show a gain here and a loss there.
Those who have an interest in bringing
about union between the two parties
will point only to the losses. The pro-
gressive movement will live because
there is need for'it. The tremendous
vote for its candidates in the last elect
ion is responsible for the progressive
legislation of the democratic party. The
overwhelming defeat OF Taft made Pres
ident Wilson's task easier. In it the
standpat democrats saw which way VIC
tory lies. The president will be re-
elected in 1915. After that may
come an opening for the progressive
party. 1t is not probable that the next
house Of representatives will have as
many republican representatives as the
present. And it is even less probable
that there will be another republican
president. Progressives believe the re-
publican party as means to political
end is useless and past resurrection.

The Echo is heartily in favor of the
movement to sprinkle the streets the
coming summer. Besides being nui-
sance to the housewife and the store
keeper, dust is an item of expense to
both. A committee will go before the
council next Tuesday night with pro-
position that if the city will bear the
expense Of sprinkling wagon, the bust
ness houses will stand the expense Of
employing man and team to do the
sprinkling during the months when
sprinkling is necessary.

very popular and highly appreciated
last season. The depleted condition
Of the city treasury will probably make
financial support from that quarter un-
certain and improbable. So that band
concerts, il we are to have them, will
depend on the generosity Of the pub
