those who can read and write in their
own language is very reasonable test
OF fitness to become citizens of this
country. 1t may keep out some very
good people, but it is also sure to keep
out large number Of undesirables.
We still have considerable numbers
of vessels engaged in traffic from one
American port to another, which I'M
der law passed by previous con-
gress was exempt from paying canal
tolls, it is this privilege which Presi-
dent Wilson wants sabrogated. Amer
lean transatlantic shipping was driven
out OF business, and to put foreign YES
sells on level with our own in the
coastwise trade would doubtless have
the same whitening effect on our do
mestic shipping. If it had been known
before the canal was built that the
United States was to get less benefit
from the canal than the foreigner we
opine that the opposition would have
prevented the building OF the canal.

literaCy Test and Canal Toll

According to daily reports from the
doiugs OF congress the president is to
encounter difficulty in having his ideas
about the literacy test being eliminated
from the proposed new immigration law
and the repeal Of the free toll shipping
laws for American coastwise vessel traf-
fic. In regard to the first we believe
that a reasonable educational test for
those desiring to become citizens of the
United States is wise on the side Of
prudence. We have reached that de-
gree in national development when it
is no longer numbers we want. In
very truth, we doubt if it was ever for
the best interest of this country to open
the doors too wide. Up to few years
ago it was the custom for all foreign
countries to dump their vicious, law
defying characters on this country.
Then we passed law denying the right
of entry to those having criminal rec
ords. Further restricting the right to

imagine New York City Cut off
From Food for 10 Days

New York dispatches in the daily
press Monday stated that the city is on
the verge of a coal and food famine
as a result of the protracted cold spell
accompanied by an unusually heavy
fall of snow blocking railroad and street
traffic. The condition is declared as
serious. and that while little real suffer
ing has resulted, yet the statement
goes on, that if the condition is moi
relieved in hours the situation will be-
come alarming.
The population of New York city
is we'll over four million, and to feed,
clothe and provide with fuel this pop
ulation would require ten thousand Cal
loads of freight every twenty-four hours.
This calculation is based on one car
load for every ABS human beings, es-
timating the population at four and a
quarter million and not taking into ac-
count the half million animals of one
kind and another that have to be fed.
II general strike or some cataclys-
mic disturbance made it impossible to
deliver freight in New York city fol
ten days that whole city full Of people
would be facing starvation. 1t only
requires an effort Of the imagination to
picture what this would mean in suffer
ing, if even it would end there. There
is not much difference between a hun
cry man and hungry wolf. In "Ce-
sar's Column" book written by Ig
natius Donnelly twenty-five years ago
just such condition as is limited at
above is described with narrowing de-
tails, and if the reader will pardon the
depression, the flying machine is there
infinitely described, tho he set the
date of its use a hundred years fur
Their ahead.

Let Right and Reason Prevail

When the Echo began few weeks
ago agitating the propriety of lowering
lighting and phone rates in this town
the personal feelings and interests Of
Its editor had absolutely nothing to do,
and cut no figure in the question.
Neither would he be deferred from
doing what he thought was his duty
to the community by the possibility Of
a loss OF business. His attention was
first directed to the question by read
Ing in the daily press the past three
months that an agitation was going on
all over the northwest for lower lighting
rates, with the result that in almost
every instance rates were reduced.
In weighing the local situation we
arrived at the conclusion that if the
present rates were equitable and just
to the consumers, and satisfactory to
the owners of the Tumwater Light &
Water Co. eight years ago, when, we
may reasonably presume, the rate was
based on cost OF production and guam
tity consumed, then the rates are out
of Joint at this time for the reason that
the cost Of production has been cheap
ened and the amount of power con-
sumed has increased at the very least
six fold. From information which the
editor OF this paper had reason to be-
lieve was authentic he learned that the
earnings of the Tumwater Light u
Water Co., on its invested capital,
was rather large. Out Of proportion to
the earnings Of capital invested in other
lines of activity. For these reasons,
and these alone, the Echo mildly
and frankly suggested that lowering
of the Leavenworth rates at this time
might be made with due regard to the
right of the company to earn a profit
on its investment, but not overlooking
the rights OF the consumers to rea-
sonable rate.
We believe the management OF the
Tumwater Light & Water Co. will de-
vote careful consideration to the mat
ter and make such reductions as will
satisfy the public and yet not reduce
the earnings of the company beyond
reason. We have the best of reasons
for believing that a lowering Of the
rates will materially increase the con-
sumption of electricity and the number
of phones in use. In these progress
sive days people want all the comforts
and conveniences they can pay for.
and if some people do not now use
electric lights and install phone it is
because they find kerosene cheaper and
make up their mind that the present
st of phone is beyond their financial
7ta. We confidently believe that
* months the increased use OF
-.tctric lights and phones would go
far in making up the difference in loss
of revenue from lower rates, without
materially increasing the cost Of pro-
duction.

The latter is this week proving up on
a valuable homestead which he owns
in that section.
E. E. Batcheler, one of the old
residents on Lake Wenatchee had the
misfortune to lose his home and all
its contents in fire at that place on
the 9th inst. At the time the blaze
started, which was in the daytime.
Mr.. Batcheler and his wife were out at
the barn a short distance from the
house and before they noticed the fire
it had gained such Roadway that it was
impossible to save any of the house
hold goods. Mr.. Bachelor managed
to get into the house, but was in such
a state OF excitement that he over
looked several hundred dollars in
money which was hidden under bed.
The house which was built Of logs,
was only completed last summer and
was one of the best residences in the
White river valley. Mr.. Batcheler and
his family have moved back into an
old cabin which they occupied when
they first went to the Lake country in
1902. Next summer he plans to erect
a new home.
Speaking about fires, one of the
most disastrous that ever occurred in
the Lake Wenatchee country was
about five years ago, when w. A. Mel
son, one Of the prosperous farmers Of
that district, lost his home, barn
stocked with hay, and several out
buildings, the loss being $4,000. 1t
happened on the Fourth of July and
Mr.. Nelson and his family at the time
were attending big celebration at
Oliver Bates on the head of the lake.
Just how the fire started Mr.. Nelson
has never been able to figure out, but
when he returned home that evening
everything was mass OF ruins. The
only explanation he can give is that
the blaze must have started from
spark blown from a smouldering log
which was several hundred yards from
the house. AT the time Mr.. Nelson,
who was doing considerable logging,
had just finished hauling in enough
provisions to run crew Of ten men for
a year, all of which was lost in the fire.
Mr.. Nelson did not get disheartened,
however. and the following day he
started in to rebuild his home. He
has worked hard since that time and
today he can point with pride to his
place, as it ranks with the best of them
in the White River valley. And in
the meantime w. A. Nielsen has pros
pered, too, being the owner of Stude-
baker automobile which he purchased
last year. In the summer time when
the roads are good he is a frequent
visitor in this city.
