The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1916-07-28
SEATTLE NEWS LETTER

Practically all candidates for office
filed with the Secretary Of State at
Olympia since July IA, the first day OF
filing, have been for Republican nomi-
nations. In fact it is reported from
the east that the Democrats have no
especial hopes of carrying this state,
and certainly it looks as if Democratic
candidates for state Offices will be
scarce. The danger to the Republi-
cans OF this situation lies in the fact
that good many Democrats are likely
to enter the Republican primaries and
vote for the weakest candidates. AL
ready there is talk Of a scheme for the
Democrats to raid the Republican pri-
maries and vote for Bob Hodge for
Governor, figuring then to defeat the
ex- pugilist-coal miner at the election.
The multiplicity of candidates. on the
Republican ballot might make it pos
sible for a few thousand Democratic
votes to thus really steal the opposition
primaries.
King County is going to have trouble
if she tries to use her two hundred
brand-new voting machines at the pri-
maries. The machines are all right
only they have no means Of registering
second choice votes, the second choice
scheme of balloting being unknown in
eastern states, where the machines are
made. The machines cost King county
about 100000, but they may not be
available for use until the general cleo
ton in November.

1t might be argued that the mer-
chant will not advance to the negro
farm hand, if the proposed bills are
enacted, but there is nothing in the
proposed bills to prevent the white
farmer releasing or assigning to the
merchant his unwritten lien for ad-
vances. and when the negro farm
hand understands that he must get
the consent of the white farmer be-
fore he can mortgage his crops to
the merchant, friendly harmony
and understanding will be promoted
between the white farmer and the
merchant and the negro laborer.
Further, it might be argued that
the white farmer will cheat his negro
laborer. if the unwritten lien fol
advances is not recorded, but when il
is considered that the farmer al.
ready has an unwritten lien for rent

Not a Bite Of
Breakfast Until

Says a glass of hot water and
phosphate prevents illness
and keeps US fit.

Just SIS coal, when it burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal
certain amount of indigestible mate
rial, which if not completely eliminat-
ed from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions OF bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass OF
leftover waste, toxins and ptomaine-
like poisons are formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel.
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot wa
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous days
accumulation Of poisons and toxins
and to keep the entire alimentary
canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is suffi-
cient to make anyone an enthusiast
On the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, SO
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver kidneys and
bowels.-Adv.

HAS SUFFERED
FROM TRADITION
Modern Writer Gives Us New Yer
sion of the Character of
Washington.
Great Soldier as He Is Universally
Acknowledged, He Was Also a
Seer-Deathess Champion
of the Rights Of Hu-
manity.

IA n ORE than any other American
RA statesman, more than any
other American, Washington
has suffered from tradition,
writes John D. Barry in the Washing
ton Times.
In fact, | can't think of any other
great man in the history Of the world
who has been damaged in just the
same way, through being made to ap-
pear so good.
The reason is that he has been pre-
eminently the children's hero.
He is a distinguished victim of the
deceit we practice on children in the
name of education.
Only the very good boys and girls
care for the story of Washington and
the cherry tree.
The others, the majority, are bored,
or amused, or puzzled.
And then there is the saying, dinned
into the ears of American childhood,
washington never told lie"
1t alone alienates vast numbers OF
children from Washington. In their
little hearts it finds no answering
echo, no enthusiastic desire for emula-
ton.
For truth telling, much as we love
it in children, and much as we labor
to graft it on those highly imaginative
minds, is often a virtue that develops
only with years, related to intelli'
gence and to mature character.
1t derives it's beauty largely from
association with other qualities more
sympathetic.
Do Real Damage to Truth.
| Self-assertive truth-tellers often
| seem rigid in character. They dc
great damage to truth by making il
seem, not beautiful, as it should be
| but hideous
Even in minds of maturity, to the
reputation of Washington there still
clings a suggestion of the comic.
Thackeray did not help the situation
when he introduced the youthful
Washington into THE Virginians" as
a highly self-conscious and priggisI
coloniala
There is a fine chance for new
historian OF Washington, one wko vii

Owen W1ster made start some
years ago, when he published a little
book, emphasizing Washington's more
human qualities. But the book wa

ought to reflect on the service of
Washington in the making of this ma
ton and on the attitude of Washing
ton toward the future Of this nation.
Washington a Seer.
Since the Spanish war the Farewell
Address, once a classic and apparent
ly lust about as much alive as most
classics, has fallen into disfavor. We
don't hear of it's being pointed to
with pride" as often as we did.
Perhaps If we do 60 back to it we
shall find that Washington, besides
being soldier and statesman, was
a seer.
And a seer is much more interesting
than a little boy that chops down
cherry tree or a man that has never
told lie.
A seer has a way of projecting him
self into the future and finding new
life there.
AS a prophet Washington is vital
force today. But he is a force that
has been consciously and deliberately
disregarded.
Washington, the hero of Valley
Forge, was essentially man of peace.
He saw that the happiness and secu-
rity of this country lay, just as the
happiness Of an individual did, in a
policy of noninterference.
And as soon as this country ceased
to follow this policy Washington fore
saw complications.
On the surface it seems strange that

life were aristocratic should be re
garded as the father of American de.
mOcracy.
And to the present-day point Of view
it is all the more strange when we re-
call the reproach made against Wash
ington that "the great Virginian held
slaves"
But Washington, to be judged fair
ly, like everyone else, must be consid
cred with reference to his time anG
surrounding conditions.
Washington deserves little credit for
not yielding to the temptations to as
sert his aristocratic lineage by becCm-
ing a tory. He was directly affected
by the unfair attitude of the mother
country in imposing taxation without
representation. What he did was a
natural outcome of what he was.
Where he did merit the highest honor
was in his rising so magnificently to
his responsibilities and opportunities
A man selfish and arrogant might have
exacted more for himself might have
striven to establish himself as u per
manent power over the nation he had
helped to create. But there is no cvi-
dence that Washington ever felt such
a temptation. Aristocrat as he was
and STAKEHOLDER, he was all the more
extraordinary in being able 70 tern
from the prejudices Of his training to
realization of the democratic ideal
Perhaps we can reach little clear
er understanding Of what Washington
was and of what he did by placing
him in our own time. 1t was as it. at
the present time, a man Of distin-
guished position and of wealth, were
to become a leader in the labor move
ment. For, from the point of view Of
England, the cOlonials were humble
folk, mainly tillers of the field, work
ers in small enterprises. To their
cause Washington gave dignity, as
well as marvellous personal courage.
With his tattered, half-fed, poorly
trained troops he defeated the pro
fessional soldiers of England and the
Hessian mercenaries. He had, of
course, the superlative advantage Of
being sustained by the power of sub
lime moral idea, all the more effective
because 1t was opposed by the weak
ness that goes with self-conscious and
contemptuous superiority.
Really Deserves More Credit.
Washington has not been accorded
by the world the credit he deserves
for his share in establishing democ-
racy as a working force in a nation.
We ere likely to forget that democ-
racy, while he fought for it, was not
accepted by the world as practicable.
To a few it was beautiful theory, an
ideal. To the many it was impracti-
cable, denial of what they regarded
as the natural unftness of human be
ings in large masses to govern them
selves. From France, mainly through
Rousseau, had come the great demo
| cratic theory But France had yet to
seek its establishment in the blood OF
| the French revolution.
Our next Washington is not likely
