Plain Words to Big Business

The following sentences are from an
address delivered recently to national
convention of street railway managers
held at San Francisco by Jesse w.
Lilienthal, president of the United
Railways Of that city:
Accept loyalty and without reserva-
ton the doctrine that public utility
is the servant OF the people.
Give the affairs Of the utility the
widest possible publicity. The public
is entitled to know what you are doing
and how you are getting on.
Nothing is SO engaging as complete
candor.
"a. Treat your employees fairly and so far
as your resources will permit, gener-
ously.
Keep out Of politics. Appeal direct
to the public for fairness and justice.
Do it openly and in the name OF the
company.
l place my confidence in the ulti-
mate good sense and fairness OF the
people; our salvation must be worked
out thru them.

Is There a WAY 10 Minimize Fire Loss !!

After every fire, and we have had a
lot OF them in the past thirteen years,
causing a loss of over two hundred
thousand dollars, there is something
that might be called a spasmodic effort
to organize a fire department. Before
the organization is perfected the fire
loss is forgotten and the enthusiasm
dies down until the next fire breaks
out, and the former experience is re-
peated with the same result. Since
the fire Of Dec. Doth there has been
the usual talk, and the usual result will
follow. Nothing done.
1t seems to this paper that here is a
question for the council to tackle.
With knowledge Of how to fight fires,
and systematic work, the loss Of Dec.
Goth need not have been more than a
few hundred dollars, whereas it was APP
proximatsly $25, 900.
Why could not the council formulate
a plan to employ say five men to fight
fires. Pay them one dollar each per
hour while fighting fires. Furnish them
with free sleeping room at the city

To Make You Read and Think

The reading of short article in the
January number of Munsey's magazine,
by Judson c. Welliver, entitled "A
Big Brother to Some Smaller Nations"
will cause every true Americans heart
to throb with pride and patriotism. 1t
is sufficient answer to the European
fling that we are nation of dollar wor-
shippers. Evidently they have no true
conception of our civilization or our
national ideals. Idealism in this coun-
try has a strong practical coloring.
The story is worth reading by every
man and woman who loves his country.
1t could be placed in the hands of the
school children with good results, and
read by all socialists and anarchists
with profit.

hall, with oilcloth suits and hats, smoke
helmets, and such other necessary para
phernalia as fremen require. Let these
men spend half day twice a year ac-
quainting themselves with the condi-
tons about every business house and
public building in the town, and es-
pecially with Easements. In making
such inspection they could determine
just how best to fight possible fire in
every building; how to get into the
building with fire hose; get familiar
with the location of every fire hydrant,
and get fixed in their minds lot of
detail that would undoubtedly be use
full in the event of fire. Time is OF the
very essence of importance at fire.
Five minutes often determines whether
there shall be fire and great loss, or
no fire and no loss. Let these men be
clothed with the authority Of a peace
officer at every fire they attend. With
somebody to take the lead, knowing
what to do and how to it at fire,
there need be no fear that there will be
plenty of volunteer help. There are
always plenty Of men at fire ready
and willing to do almost anything, but
they want leader.
We invite discussion of this mat
ter. If anyone has better plan to
offer. put it up. To call attention to
the importance of doing something is
not necessary. It is only necessary to
remember the appalling and, in most
instances, the unnecessary loss.

Tax reduction is an issue in almost
every county in Washington. The tax
rate in this state is enormously high
and ought to be reduced. 1t retards
growth because it keeps capital away.
Men with money to invest in new en-
terprises invariably look into the tax
rate before planting their money.
Taxes on any new enterprise begin at
once but profits are often deferred for
years.

Beginning the Fourteenth Year

Last weeks issue OF The Echo
closed the thirteenth volume. Thir-
teen years ago the first number was
printed. 1t was about one-third the
present size. 1t grew with the town
and enjoyed some measure of pros
perity. Every movement and every
improvement in the town always re-
ceived its hearty support. That there
has been progress and improvement
along lines that make for better living
conditions, better citizenship and all
that makes life worth living, no one
will gainsay. That another thirteen
years will see greater improvement
and growth in the town we unhesitat-
ingly assert. We will improve and
grow because the whole Wenatchee
valley will develop and grow. and that
growth will only be a part Of the growth
and development of the entire north
west. There are sources of wealth in
these hoary old mountains of which few
men now dream. Waterpower wealth,
mineral wealth combined with the ag-
ricultural wealth Of the valleys will
build up a commonwealth here in the
years to come that will rival the richest
state in the union. The peculiarly
fortunate position Of the cities Of Puget
Sound with reference to the trade
routes to the west, where the possibili-
ties of empire building and trade de-
velopment are greatest, will add to the
prosperity Of the back country Of which
we here are a part. The possibilities
of water power development in this
immediate vicinity will ere long bring
about a change which few have taken
into consideration. These are some OF
the factors that will certainly lend
themselves to building up greater
and better Leavenworth in the years
ahead OF US. 1t is scarcely likely that
the present publisher Of The Echo will
live to see the changes that the next
thirteen years will make in this town,
but he does cherish the belief that the
prediction will be verified after he is
forgotten.
No more than can the leopard
change his spots can the publisher of
The Echo change his disposition. He
will do in the future as he has done in
the past. AS he can see the light he
will approve what he thinks deserves
approval and condemn what he con-
ceives to be wrong. Never will he
prostitute his conscience for gain.
Not infallible, by any means. Some
what wiliul and headstrong, doubtless,
but in intentions not wholly wrong.
With a firm faith 10 the goodness of
the great majority Of mankind and the
future OF Leavenworth we begin the
fourteenth year as publisher of The
Echo.

Highest honors awarded any sub

from an authoritative source: p.
Last year the third division won
the division trophy but not the In
dividual. This year, as d result OF
last months torpedo practise off La
haifia, Maui, they have retained the
former trophy, and comparison OF the
1916 records made by each submar-
inc of each division, so far as OBJ
tainable here, makes itpractically GER
tain that the KS hasf won the iIldi-
vidual trophy, earning the right to
paint .sE'' in white on her bow, de-
noting the highest efficiency attained
by any submarine Id The American
navy during 1915.
Formal notification from the navy
department that the K-8 has won the
individual trophy, is being awaited
by officers of the third division. The
letter "E, 2 token of this trophy, means
excellent" and accompanying it will
be a pennant and cash prize,
amounting, 1t is said, to about $50 for
every man in the submarines crew.
According to the Navy Directory
of May 1, there are eight divisions,
four with the Atlantic fleet, three
with the Pacific fleet (of which the
third division, stationed here, is q

fspeeial slsr. Bulletin oorrespondencel

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, July g.
The death of. Private John w. Frame
on the evening of July 4 has brought
deep gloom to r Battery, 1st F. A., and
to the entire field artillery at Sch0-
field. Frame was a young man Of
25 from South Bend, Indiana. He
transferred few months ago
from the 9Th Field Artillery, and was
ON his second enlistment.
Last month he took part in the races
at Kapaiolanf Park, and carried of
.Thffd prize In the exciting Roman race.
He was rated as one Of the best ath-
letes In the regiment, and was slated
to play shortstop on the regimental
baseball team.
In spite OF his popularity In his bat
terry and regiment, there is deep
sympathy for Private James nj. Jones,
the battery barber of Battery #, who
gave Frame a pe1t with his fist that
without doubt contributed toward his
death, II It were not the direct cause.
A board of officers has been thorough

possible at this time to ascertain the
result of their Investigation. 1t is evil
dent, however, that the testimony Of
eye Witnesses is very conflicting and
there are many points about the case
that can be seen from two angles.

Frame was drunk, in fact he was
very drunk. He had been celebrating
