The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-06-12

Ex-Governor Hadley, of Missouri,
says things are shaping themselves for
the nomination OF Theodore Roosevelt
for president in 1916 as candidate Of
both the progressive and republican
parties. Stranger things than this have
happened. The republican party has
no one on whom the party could unite,
no one that is big enough, whose record
is good, who measures up to the re-
quirement and the occasion that 1916
will demand. To make an effective
campaign against the democratic party,
whose standard bearer is sure to be
President Wilson, will require an extra
ordinary man, and politicians are begin
ming to realize that Roosevelt is about
the only man who measures up to the
requirement.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-06-12

Jacob Furth. who died in Seattle last
week, whatever one may say Of him
carved out his own fortune. He in
herited nothing. Nothing was giver
to him. He began at the bottom and
worked his way up. When he died he
was one among the richest men in the
state. We simply cannot help respect
ing man who had the moral courage
to work and save. There are too few
these days who are willing to do what
Jacob Furth did. 1t requires will pow
er, industry and some restraint on the
inclinations to do what he did. The
road Of least resistance leads to the
poor house, the penitentiary and the
suicides grave. and the road seems to
be creased for too many of US.

years in the newspaper game when
was younger than I am now, and |
want TO say that I would have more
hope of returns from a red apple or
chard than an investment in a daily
newspaper in Wenatchee, even had
the field all to myself. No town oil
less than eight or ten thousand popu-
lation can support one good daily pa
per, and with less than fifteen or
twenty thousand two will lead miser-
able, starved existence. When bust
ness men in a small community adver
tise in two newspapers it is more in the
nature of charity than business. That's
plain talk, and you may not relish it,
but its the truth. Why should I adj
vertise in two newspapers when l can
get all the benefit by advertising in one.
There are two or three restaurants in
this town, why should they expect me
to eat dinner at all of them today?
While times were good many Of our
business men INDUCED a sentiment,
but as money became scarcer they saw
the folly Of duplicating their advertis-
ing expense. That accounts for We
natchee having only one daily news
paper today, and that may be too
many before 1914 is year DID,"

Good and Bad Laws

The Stop, Look and Listen league,
of Seattle, is being bumped from every
quarter of the state. This is doubtless
due to the fact that the league opposes
everything proposed in the way OF
legislation. A great many voters be-
lieve, and we believe, that some good
laws have been proposed. Laws that
should receive careful consideration be-
fore being opposed because the Stop,
Look and Listen league is opposed to
them.
OF the proposed laws from which we
shall withhold our approval until con-
vinced beyond question that they are
necessary are those that will make in
creased taxation necessary. This is
peculiarly the time when laws that
mean increasing the taxes should be
thoughtfully and carefully considered.
In the past six years the law makers
of this state have gone wild on road
Improvement and educational legis-
lation. The bonded indebtness for
educational purposes, of the state,
county and school districts of the state
amounts to over one hundred and forty
one million dollars, the annual interest
charge on which is five million dollars.
Just think of the school debt amount
ing to almost fourteen per cent OF the
total value of all the property in the
state, and yet some demagogues want
to increase this by five million to create
a pension fund for school teachers.
The pension proposition we are un-
alterably opposed to.
The blue sky law, which will make
it unlawful for fakirs to 60 about the
state and sell stock in any and all kinds
of thieying schemes to the unsuspect-
ing public, has our endorsement. The
intention of this law is good. The
cost of administering it is so little in
comparison with the benefits that may
reasonably be expected to result from
such law that it will really mean a
saving to the people.
We shall submit our views on other
of the proposed initiative laws as time
and occasion may permit US to study
them and reach conclusions as to their
good and bad points.

Plain Talk is Rarely Pleasant

The suspension Of one of two news
papers in one Of the small towns in
Western Washington the past week
because, it was said, there was mot
enough business for two," calls to
mind what some of the business and
professional men of Wenatchee said to
the writer hereof last Saturday, in dis
cussing the suspension OF the Daily
Republic in that city. ''Wenatchee is
simply not big enough to support two
daily newspapers. Our town is better
off with one paper. One paper can,
and probably will, be better because
the patronage is not divided. AS long
as there were two papers business men
were in the habit of supporting both,
simply because we felt that it was our
duty to support all town institutions.
Of course we did not believe that pa
tronizing both doubled our advertising
results. If patrons read our ads in the
Republic on certain day they did not
hunt up a World of the same date to
read our ad. over again. Most of US
doubled our advertising expense with
out doubling our business results. Oh
course what we should have done was
advertise in one or the other and the
result would have been practically the
same as advertising in both. We
doubled the expense without doubling
our sales, which as sensible business
men we ought to expect. We would
not hire two men to do one mans
work. But we did not apply this SEN
sible rule to advertising; we were gov
