Dear Miss Fairfax: have q girl friend
who has q position at the same place where
young man friend of ours lie employed,
He feels bound to pay her carfare six days
in the week, which know he cannot
afford
l would like to know: Is II proper for
her to offer him 80 cents at the beginning
Of the week and explain the thing to him
in a way not to make the young man feel
out OF placer They are both Is.
The only course for the girl to
pursue is to explain to this young man
that since they are both working be-
cause Of necessity she does not feel
it fair to be an expense to him. She
must tell him that she enjoys having
a companion to accompany her home,
but that she will have to forego that
pleasure rather than be burden to
him. Thea she may either pay her
own fare, or offer to reimburse him,
as you suggest

Dear Miss Fairfax, Should an engaged

a former sdmircrf Does not the wearing
Of II smack somewhat OF indifference to
the feelings Of her intended ANXIOUS.
An engaged girl should not continue
to wear piece Of jewelry given her
BY former admirer. Apart from any
consideration Of what she owes her
fiance, her own self-respect and dig
nifty ought to keep her from tricking
herself out in gifts which came from
another man.

Wilson'S Re- Election Conceded by 172
Votes.

We have just time to say, before
printing this weeks Echo that Mr..
Wilson has been reelected. To those
who differed with US we have also to
to say they have no better president
than we have. We opposed him be-
cause we differed with him on his
policy Of conducting the affairs of this
country and have nothing to retract.
We only attacked his policy and studi-
ously avoided personalities and every
thing we considered unfair and un-
truthful.
Under President Wilson this country
will continue in the march Of progress
and prosperity glowing greater and bet
ter every year.
Let us forget politics and bend our
energies to the upbuilding of the State
OF Washington, the county OF Chelan
and the town OF Leavenworth.

The high Cost of Living

We commend the reading Of the ar
ticle on the high cost Of living on the
fourth page Of this weeks Echo. The
editor went to considerable trouble
to gather the statistical facts contained
in the story. When you read and di-
gest the facts you may be able to ar
rive at a rational conclusion Of the
cause. If the European war demand
for our foodstufs keeps up it may be
necessary to put an embargo on the
further expectation of the staple articles
Of food. The high price Of food and
clothing has already caused distress
among the less highly paid of our pop
ulation and the poor. We are sending
millions OF dollars to Europe to help
war sufferers but neglect to take into
account the suffering of our own peo-
pie. The suffering will increase as
winter advances.
Anyhow, read the statistics OF oul
exports as compared with former years,
not forgetting to take into account that
1916 was short crop year all over
this country.

The Other Fellow Saved the Country

If you suffered disappointment in the
election last Tuesday just remember
if things had gone as you wanted them
to 20 the other fellow would have been
disappointed. Our elections serve one
good purpose, they furnish opportunity
to get rid OF a certain amount OF energy
that might otherwise never have been
called into action. Some Of US get so
wrought up over an election that we
get the notion in our head that il things
90 contrary to our views the country
will 90 TO the demnition bow vows.
We read in the history Of our country
that hundred and forty years ago
partisans thought, and some even put
their thoughts on paper to the effect
that by the election Of so and so the
country had started on the way to de-
struction. The logic of events has
disproved any and all such predictions.
Our country has gone right on growing
in grace and strength-the government
and the people growing better and
stronger as time goes on. So has it
been in the past and so it will be in
the future if we all refrain from doing
that to others which we would not have
them do to US, which is another way
about Of stating the Golden Rule.

anything was needed to convince those
who are promoting the wet propaganda

The Dry Wave Gathering strength

Up to last Tuesday, if we are cor
rectly informed, eighteen states had
baLished liquor. Four states, Michi-
gan, South Dakota, Nebraska and Mon
tana, and Alaska. joined the drys last
Tuesday. That the drys are gaining
can not be denied. The states that
have gone dry pile up evidence in IA
vor Of the dry state. Arkansas last
Tuesday went dry the second time in
side of four years. 1t is very generally
predicted that by the next presidential
election a constitutional amendment
will be submitted TO the voters OF the
United States wiping intoxicating
liquors off the map.

What About The European War!

For the past week, if lack OF news
about the great conflict might be taken
as evidence OF its non existence, we
might reasonably conclude that the
great fight is off. But is it7 The first
page, also the second and third page
Of the daily newspapers is taken up
with politics and election news. What
are they doing over there in Europe2
Are they still killing each other2 What
about Doubrodja7 Whose got it to-
day? What are they doing at Goritza1
What is Gen. Grabalotzki doing to the
Bulgarians7 And Gen. Strutzka, that
gallant, fighting Teutonic leader who
was so close on the heels of the Ser
bans when the war dispatches ceased
to adorn the first page. Did he get
'em7 Those thousands Of Russian,
French, Italian, German and Rouman-
ian prisoners7 Who's got 'eml Yer
dunl We'd almost forgot about
verdun. Who's got Verdun7 Has
it been blotted off the face Of the earth
by those great German guns? The
Kaiser! Has he embraced the Crown
Prince since we last received the war
news7 And Won Hindenburg! What
new strategy is he employing7
First thing you know we'll lose track
Of the whole scrapping outfit. Also
our pronouncing vocabulary is get
ting rusty. For the past two years we
have been reserving the hours from
8 to II p. m. to reading and digesting'
the war news. We protest against be-
ing compelled to alter our habits.
The youthful can change their program
We are old and sot in our ways. Put
the war news back on the first page.
The election news is becoming un-
palatable, since it has a Wilson slant.

to my sorrow. and the burden of it
lies on these broad shoulders like a
nightmare. l know this community,

A QUESTIONABLE was presented TO
the captain with regard TO moral and
religious conditions in the villages of
Japan The twelfth question dealt di-
rectly with morals, the others mainly
with religion. ITO what extent" he
was asked, do such evils as the fol-
lowing exist: Gambling, concubinage,
drinking, RIGHTEOUSNESS?
Gambling practically does not ex-
list. The government has stamped it
out with a few exceptions. Open con-
cubinage is not general. but this is
principally because, in Captain Bick-
els opinion, general RIGHTEOUSNESS
makes comparatively fixed relation
ship like that of keeping a mistress
unnecessary. But no district was re
ported free of it and one missionary
declared that lightweight per cent. of
the factory owners in his neighbor-
/ hood had concubines A man of the
world, accustomed not to disguise real
i tiles, might reply that there was more
/ difference between the theory of East
and West than the practice, and that
i where concubinage was a recognized
institution until a few years ago
even the present emperor being the
son of a concubine-there was no case
Tor the West to throw the first stone.
But" continues Captain Bickel,

OF mind that accounts for the coadi-
lions that exist in a place with which

Core spondence.

TOXIC, Feb. 29.-Beneath the pine
trees and-porcelain pictures. which the
tourist books paint of Japanese life,
there is a sordid and horrible under
side where immortality. almost incred-
ible degradation of women, drunken
ness, and obscene superstitions reign.
Conversely to the west, these evils
in Japan have the countryside in their
grip. 1t is in a small country town
on the smiling shores of the inland
sea that the daughters of the COM
munity take turns to prostitute them
selves to (Japanese) visitors at the
local inns, using the money Herewith
obtained to educate their brothers at
the universities
1t was country schoolmaster who
was known to have several concubines
with the full acquiesce1ce of col
leagues and parents. 1t is a country
village which yearly imports more al
cohol than the profit of the manufac-
tured products which it exports In
the countryside the old superstitions
die hard and civilization advances
amid almost unbelievable Difficult.
