April 8 to has been agreed on to

started and is now being promoted by
the club women in the belief that the
western manufacturer should of right
as a means to the development Of the
northwest receive the support Of its
people. Whether the local club wo-
wen's club will take an active part in

object in that it calls attention to the

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1916-03-17

A Mexican newspaper at one of the
interior towns printed a story to the
effect that Mexican troops had captured
Texas, and President Wilson and family
had fed to Canada in fear Of capture
by the Mexican soldiers. Doubtless
there are benighted Mexicans who be-
lieve this simple gable. If any are
alive when Texas, then not one-twen-
tieth as populous as it is today, whipped
Mexico to a standstill and then cut
loose from the bandit republic and set
up for herself, they would know better
Capture Texas! Why, those Texans, if
given free hand by Uncle Sam, would
wipe every Mexican off the face Of the
earth in six months. From long expert
ence they have learned that Mexican
is good only after he is very dead. No
body so we'll as Texan knows the ways
of the Mexican. where to hunt him,
and how to make him good. Capture
Texas! 1t is to laugh!

His Genius Holds the World in It's Grip

The literary world is taking unusual
interest in the coming celebration of
the e-hundredth anniversary of the
birth of William Shakespeare, which ac-
cording to the new way OF reckoning
time, falls on the 23d of April, 1916.
The literary world!" If that means
all of US who dare admit we read books,
but make no pretensions to literature,
let it stand. Otherwise it is inaccurate
and misleading. II all the books that
ever were penned, barring, Of course,
the scientific record, were suddenly
blotted from the record, the world would
still have literature il the Bible and
Shakespeare was spared. His unerring
gift OF dissecting human nature with
his pen for a scalpel is marvellous. The
sum OF all that is noble, pure and good
in woman is portrayed in the lovable
character Of Cordelia. The sum OF all
that is villainous in human nature is
portrayed in the character Of Iago. He
had the incompatible faculty of con-
veying meaning in less words than any
man that ever put hand to pen. He
could paint portrait in words as no
artist ever limned a picture. In char
acter building and depicting in words,
all that come before or after him are
the merest tyros by comparison. He
touched every human emotion with a
master hand. To know Shakespeare is
world enough. Not to know him is to
be in outer darkness, and have missed
the best. His compelling genius over
came Germans. His plays are being
produced in Berlin every week since
the war began and is the one thing
English to which the German imagina-
ton bends its knee. His name is the
most imperishable thing in all liter
att1re
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1916-03-17

The Mexican affair furnished shin
ing example Of how we'll prepared this
country is to meet a foreign foe should
one ever get it into his head to attack
the United States. Germany trans
ferred 100000 troops from the Russian
to the French front in less time than
our government could assemble TO-
900 men on the Mexican border. No
less pointedly does this trouble show
the fallacy Of the BRYAN teachings that
if we are peaceable and attend to our
own business nobody will want to at
tack US.
