war over we shall be confronted with
a problem of surplus labor, but we
have taken no steps to prevent the
flooding of our markets with products
of the labor of Europe and Asia. We
learn from frequent news reports that
Great Britain has been giving close
and continuous attention to the after
war economic problems relating to de-
velopment of home industry and re
sumption of export trade. We observe
that Japan has been increasing her
manufacturing output and securing a
larger hold upon trade in the United
States and other lands. But we have
been doing practically nothing to make
substantial preparation for the keen
commercial competition that awaits us
as surely as a peace treaty shall be
signed.
Shall we continue in state of leth-
argy only to be awakened a few
months hence with an excitedly an
nounced discovery that "the world is
on fire" with trade competition? Shall
we be as dilatory in preparing for
peace as we were in preparing for
war?

MOONEY WILL PROBABLY HANG
HIGHEST COURT WILL NOTRfvIFW
Mooney Must be Acquitted to Show
Capitalists What We Can Do"
Say His Friends

On Monday last the Supreme court
of the United States refused to inter-
fere with the judgment of the Califor-
MIA courts, and Mooney must hang un-
less the president pardons him. He
has been appealed to and twice recon-
mended clemency to the governor of
California. 4
The "Reds" of this country, all those
who believe in direct action and JUS
tify all means to reach the ends aimed
at, want Mooney acquitted. About his
guilt or innocense they care nothing.
They need such men as Mooney in
their business. Some very good peo-
pie believe Mooney was convicted on
false testimony, claimed by his admir-
ers to have been used to secure his
conviction. They believe the court
and jury that tried hi mwas either
corrupt or imposed on. They believe
that the Supreme court of California,
before winch the Mooney case came on
appeal, was also corrupt or unwilling
to give him fair trial. They believe
the courts that refused to grant the
new trial on the evidence presented by
MONEYS attorneys, that he had been
unlawfully convicted, were such heart
less wretches that they favored con-
victing an innocent man, and they
now believe that the Supreme court
of the United States in refusing to
grant Mooney new trial are part
ners in the infamy of the courts, juries
and judges of California. In the sight
of MONEYS admirers juries, judges
and courts can absolve themselves
from wrong doing only by acquiting
Mooney.

BOYS AND GIRLS GO OVER THE
TOP

A finer example of patriotism can
hardly be found than that shown by
the Leavenworth boys and girls dur
ing the late War Work Campaign.
Under the leadership of an enthusi-
astic committee, j. e. Deryl Motteler,
Gladys Pinch, Frances DeBlois, Olive
Blankenship, Edward Ritchie, ]. H.
Ritchie and J. Fl. Osborn, the school
went over the top in its subscription
with flying colors. The assigned
quota was $125, which was reached
and passed with scarcely any effort,
since as volunteered IS pledges and 33
others rallied nobly to their aid. The
committee was justly elated to find
that the figure attained was 1901 so,
$196.50 of which was cash. Such
spirit as this shown by our young
people is certainly to be commend
ed, for the need of the nation is
more serious in this period of recon-
struction dawning upon us than many
realize.

WASHINGTON GOOD ROADS
ASSOCIATION CONVENTION
VIII Meet in PascO Thursday and Fri
day, December 5th and 9th

The Washington State Good Roads
Association convention which means
to have been held in Pasco on Thurs
day and Friday, November 21st and
22nd, but which was postponed on ac-
count of the influenza, will now be
held in Pasco Dec. 9Th and 9th.
The change in dates were agreed
on by Chairman of the Arrangements
Committee in Pasco C. F. Stinson,
President Arthur D. Jones, and mem
bers of the Executive Committee John
P. Hartman and Frank w. Guilbert,
in conference in Spokane.
1t is hoped that the entire program
which had been planned for the earlier
dates can be carried out on Thursday
and Friday, December 9Th and 9th,
the new dates.
1t is believed that very large num-.
her of delegates will be present be-
cause the prospects now are entirely
different from what they were when
preparatins were made for the regu-
lar convention. Now that the war is
practically at an end, even larger
plans will be discussed for road i'm
provement than have heretofore ever
been considered by this representative
gathering of good roads men from all
parts of the state.
1t is quite probable that a definite
five year plan of continuous road con-
struction will be recommended to the
legislature. The suggestion as to just
how this plan shall be financed is an
other question for the gathering to de-
eide. Whatever recommendation is
worked out at Pasco will be passed
on to the legislature for their consid-
Grafton.

CAME SOONER THAN EX-
PECTED

Peace, tho hanging in the offing
for some time, came Unexpectedly for
all that and found us unprepared. No
definite reconstruction plans had been
made in the event of peace, so we
must await patiently until those plans
are formulated and put into force. In
the meantime the enormous expenses
incident to war will continue. They
must continue until peace with Ger
many is assured at all events. We
will have another liberty loan to in
vest in, and more thrift stamps to
buy.
All of this means a continuation of
our new habits of thrift, and lending
the money saved thereby to the gov
ernment.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL DRIVE
IN LEAvENWORTH

The people of Leavenworth are to
be congratulated on the successful
outcome of the recent drive for funds
in the United War Workers Campaign.
In the last issue of the Echo mention
was made of the fact that the drive
was not bringing in the money as it
should and that it would take consid-
cradle hammering to get it. 1t has
taken pull push and many miles of
travel for the active workers of this
campaign and if there is any one in
the community who has not had an op
portunity to give their name is un-
known and they must not feel slighted.
On account of the interruption in
the work of the drive caused by the
peace celebrations thruout the coun-
try the president asked that the drive
be extended two days and in these, al
tho the town and country had been
quite thoroughly canvassed, approx
mately $500 was raised.
Captain Mills and Lieutenant De-
Leon, of the U. S. army, were in town
Monday and Tuesday and materially
assisted in the work. They, with a
couple of our solicitors, made a trip
to the logging camps and put on
picture show and made addresses to
the loggers. The result of this trip
was close to 5000.
Considering the fact that the log
ging and mill force of the G. N. Lum-
Der Co. was less than half that during
previous drives, that the Peshastin
Mill Company's campe were closed,
as was Chas. Wright's mill at Peshas-
tin, and farm and orchard work was
nearly at a standstill discloses that
there were approximately 300 fewer
wage earners in the Leavenworth dis
trict than in any previous drive. But,
in spite of these obstacles, the flu and
bad weather, doctor bills and drug
bills, Liberty bond and War Saving
Stamp payment, Leavenworth made
the top and over. "Oh, what a grand
and gloriuos feeling

WASTING MILLIONS ON WIND
WORK

: The work of the federal trade COM
mission has been peculiarly unfortu-
nate and mischievous.
First it has never defined what it
was created to ascertain and promul-
gate-what is fair trade?
Thirty charges of unfair trade con-
ditions were brought before it and it
had to dismiss them as false.
If nothing but false charges could
be presented to it what good could
come of it's activities?
So to get busy and to make show
ing for the millions it was spending
it started slangwhanging Big Busi-
ness.
1t hired professional "trust bus
ter" to tackle the big meat packing
concerns and he went after sensations.
The newspapers were kept supplied
with fruits of the packers probe for
months to prejudice the public mind
in advance.
CuoPISlohS VI supplying AotISh ihcot
to the soldiers in the army canton
ments and to our troops overseas were
sent broadcast.
In not one of the first seven cases
made against the packers could the
commission substantiate it's charges
and had to back down.
It's report against the packing con-
Germs which have supplied allied ar
mics with their chief food product
have fallen flat.
It's work in attacking and seeking to
blacken the motives and relations
between the big packing houses and
the war department was raw.
For mismanagement of its affairs
and carrying on abortive investiga-
tions this commission is a jolly fail
ure and has wasted millions.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION
BY THE GOVERNOR

Once more we approach observance
of the Thanksgiving custom estab-
lished by the Pilgrim fathers in their
gratitude for the blessings bestowed
on them after their long struggle
against the oppressor. Yet even the
Pilgrim fathers had far less for which
to rejoice than do we in this year of
grace.
Twelve months ago the world was
torn and bleeding in conflict the like
of which had not been known in all
its history. Our own nation had
joined with all its great strength and
resources the other nations that had
been battling for three years previous
ly, in the struggle to save humanity
from the tyrant. Our strong young
men were sailing across the sea to
give their all, if need be, that liberty
might live. We were determined, but
we were apprehensive, and the outlook
was dark and disheartening.
Today peace is again being estab-
lished in the universe. The awful
struggle and carnage is at an end and
right and justice have triumphed. We
are, it is true, faced with the great
problems of rehabilitation and recon-
struction, and they will demand our
best thought and our calmest judg-
ment. But they may be accomplished
in the security of the knowledge that
tyranny has been destroyed and the
principles of equity and justice forever
established in human affairs. In
deepest gratitude
Now, Therefore, I, Ernest Lister,
Governor of the State of Washington,
by virtue of the authority in me vest
ed by law and in keeping with hon
ored custom, do hereby join the Pres
ident of the United States in proclaim
ing and designating Thursday, No
vember 2S, 1918, in the State of Wash
ington, as day of
Thanksgiving and PRAYER
and I most earnestly ask that on that
day the people of the State of Wash
ington cease from their usual occupa-
tons and in the churches and in their
homes return thanks to Almighty God
for the victory and triumph of prin-
ciple which the year has witnessed, be-
speaking also His omnipotent guild
ance in the handling of the tasks and
problems that are come to us with the
return of peace.

M. A. MARLEY GOING TO CANADA

Mr.. M. A. Marley will leave the first
of next week for Enderby, British Co
lumbia, where he has taken position
as general manager for the Rogers
Lumber Co., Enderby is about 1876
miles north of Lake Okanogan. Mr..
Marley came here in 1904 from Taco
ma and took employment with the
Lamb-Davis Lumber Co., and remain
ed with that company after it merged
into the Great Northern Lumber Co.
He is considered an all-round lumber
man and his many Leavenworth
friends, while regretting his depar-
ture, rejoice at his promotion to a
more responsible position.

EMERGENCIES OVER

The various departments and bu-
reaus at Washington demanded and
received immense appropriations to
meet "war emergencies" VIII they
be just as prompt and as earnest in
recommending that the appropriations
be cut off when the emergency"
ceases to exist?

ter fighting known in this great war
of hard and bitter fighting she was
in full retreat in Southwest Africa,
and over Windhoek, it's capital was
hoisted the Union Jack. Among other
German supplies captured were
enough steel horseshoes to shoe all the
horses in South Africa for the next
twenty years.
The foundation of Germans other
African colonies were also laid in
blood.
From 1891 to 1908 there was con-
slant warfare in the Kameruns and
Togoland on the orthwest coast and
in German East Africa.
There were no fewer than twenty
nine punitive expeditions during that
time, and altho they were spread over
an immense amount of territory, they
are also eloquent of Germany's inabil-
ity to impose her imperialistic rule
upon subject peoples without the aid
of gun and bayonet.
Her trail in East Africa was par
ticularly bloody and it was left princi-
pally by one DR.. Karl Peters.
In the year 1884 and under the guise
of an individual trader, by so-called
treaties" secured from native chiefs
and in defiance of the prior rights of
the Sultan of Zanzibar and of Eng
land and Spain, Peters got posses
sion of solid block of territory COM
prising upward of 100000 square
miles in extent and lying almost due
north of the port of Bagamoyo.
In one of those treaties" Sultan
Hugo not only placed all of his "land
on the Tana, from Massa to Kenia,
under the protection sof Peters," but
he gave Peters the right to work the
country "above and below the ground
in every direction and DIR. Karl
Peters is to be supreme lord in the
country of the Gallas, to command
the armed forces and to judge the peo-
pie. This is done for the blessing and
welfare of the Gala land.'
The first act of the new supreme
Gala lord was to personally shoot the
chief of the Gallas, at Bokore, when,
to use Peters own words, che felt the
proud intoxication of the victor" He
also destroyed the stations of the Brit
ish company and publicly burned their
official papers and shot down all who
opposed him.
The Huns now have the supreme and
colossal impudence to declare thru DIR.
Solf, their colonial minister, chat the
African colonies must be returned to
Germany, even if Belgium and occu-
pied France and Alsace-Loraine must
be given in exchange therefor.
For Germans future position as
world power seems most closely bound
up with her colonial future This
balance of power created in the colo
nial field will, by removing future
possibilities of conflict, constitute one
of the best guarantees for lasting
world peace.
Germany was never more brutally
and frankly Prussian than when this
pedagog, this mouthpiece of the all
highest and the rest of the Potsdam
gang so put himself on record. She
has given further notice that her idea
of lasting peace is one where she,
triumphant, will control the rest of
the world and make it dance to her
bidBling.
But the black from Africa, fighting
side by side with our own black, patri-
otic, courageous troops, aided by our
white troops and those of our allies,
are seeing to it that Germany does
the dancing.

GET BUSY ON PEACE PREPARED
NESS

So far as economic preparedness is
concerned, we are now almost exactly
where we were at the outbreak of the
war. Because the war cut off imports
and gave us larger market for our
goods we have left the free trade
tariff law on the statute books. Be-
cause the war afforded our industries
the greatest protection and aid in
their history, we have been content to
leave the gates of our markets wide
open. We acknowledge that with the

TOO MUCH "vERBOTEN"

If the democratic administration
had not been so zealuos in prescribing
rules which required the people of the
country to get a permit every time
they turned around, perhaps they
might have been permitted another
two years of full control. The people
want public servants, not masters.
