so CHINESE PHEASANTS FOR
CHELAN COUNTY.

County Game Warden Scheble has
been advised by Mr.. L. H. Darwin,
state game warden, that fifty
Chinese pheasants were shipped to
Chelan county on the 25th of the
month. and advised their prompt
liberation, suggesting they be liber-
ated in some game preserve. The
birds are two months old and amply
able to take care of themselves, says
Mr. Darwin. A further shipment
will probably be made later on.
Birds of this character We're liber-
ated in Chelan county several years
ago and appear to thrive and null
tiply. The writer has occasionally
run across them in the forests neal
Leavenworth. The Chinese pleas
ant not only is a valuable game bird
but the cock is very handsome and
showey bird. If they could be pro-
tected from hunters for few years,
until they become thoroughly accli-
mated, they would in few years
furnish excellent sport for hunters.

Mr.. N. A. Pearson, who this week
indicates his desire to be elected
prosecuting attorney of Chelan
country, made his home in Leaven-
worth for three years, up to two
years ago, since which time he has
resided in Wenatchee and acted as
assistant prosecuting attorney under
Mr.. Burt Williams. His duties as
prosecutor has in the meantime
brought him into frequent contact
with the public, and through his
visits here he has kept in touch with
the people of Leavenworth. Of his
qualifications for the place there is,
of course, no doubt. AS a good citi-
zen and an upright man the Echo has
no hesitation in commencing him to
the voters.

SPLENDID TRIBUTE TIC
FRANCE.

Recently, in an address before the
Pennsylvania Society, in New York,
when a dinner was given in honor of
the French ambassador, M. Jusse-
rand, Col. Roosevelt paid the follow
ing merited tribute to the French ma
ton:
"France embodies all the lowell
ness and all the valor. Beauty is her
handmaiden and strength her shield
bearer, and the shining courage of
her daughters has matched the
courage of her dauntless sons. For
three and half terrible years she
has walked, high of heart, through
the valley of the shadow. Her body
is in torture, but her forehead is
alight with the beauty of the morn
ing. Never in all history has there
been such steadfast loyalty in the do
ing of dangerous duty, such devo-
ton to country, such splendor of SER
vice and of sacrifice. And great
shall be her reward, for she has
saved the soul of the world"
The rugged Colonel usually ex-
presses himself in plain, forceful
English, sometimes bit pugnacious
English. IL his tribute to the French
people he INDUCED in poetic fervor.

CAN MIR. DILL SQUARE HIM
SELF?

Mr.. c. C. Dill, congressman by mis-
representation, from the Fifth Wash
ington district, made a speech from
the band stand Wednesday evening
to a small audience. In trying to
square himself by an appeal to pre-
JUDGE he stated that he was being
misrepresented before the people of
his district in the Spokesman Re-
view, which printed false and mis-
leading statements about him. He
said he had opposed the government
gone in he had consistently sup
ported the administration of Presi-
dent Wilson. Mr.. Dill made a no.
toriously untruthful and misleading
statement to the people of Leaven-
worth when he stated he had con-
sistently supported the administra-
voted against measures before con-
gres that had the endorsement of the
President, after war was declared.
In referring to his change of
front on the war he mentioned the
fact that Washington and Lincoln
had changed their minds, to show
that GREAT MEN, before him, had
lost nothing in the estaimation of the
people. To their credit be it said,
both these truly great men did
change their minds, but not on ques-
tions that involved the safety and in
tegrity of the United States.
Discriminating people think it bad
taste, not to say irreverent, to men,
ton Mr.. Dill in any conceivable con-
nection with Washington and Lin
coin.

PRIDE ALWAYS CONFETTI BE.
FORE A FALL.

SO runs the old adage. The men
who are taking advantage of war
circumstances, and the unsettled
condition of things, to make an in
ordinate profit are due for setback.
The time is coming when the people
will call to book the man who fat
tened off the public while the war
was going on. After it is all over
there will be a reckoning. Just
now lot of things are being over
looked, This does not apply solely
to that class who are grating on the
government, but to the small graft
ers as well. The men who are making
inordinate profits on goods, wares
and merchandise. Profteering is
made unlawful and all those who en-
gage in it are liable to prosecution.

E. NJ. GILLETTE FOR THE LEG
STATURE

Mr.. E. NJ. Gillette, who this week
announces his candidacy on the re-
publican ticket for member of the
Washington legislature in the lower
house, is not unknown to the people
of Leavenworth, having often had
occasion to come here during his four
ears incumbency of the office of
county commissioner. Mr.. Gillette
is a fruit grower near Malaga. But
he is more than that; he is a sue
cessful business man. When a
younger man he held responsible
position on the Northern Pacific
railroad for many years and resigned
to engage in the more, to him, indie
pendent and pleasing occupation of
fruit growing, which he has followed
and followed successfully, for twelve
years. From his long residence in
Chelan county, his wide acquaintance
over the state and knowledge of the
wants of the farming and fruit
growing part of the population, he
would be useful and capable rep
resentative in the legislature.

TAKING A FALL OUT OF MIR.
FORD

Last Sundays Pr. made the fol-
lowing reference to Mr. Ford's can
didacy for the United States SEN
ate
"Sidney Smith once said something
like this:
at is better to be the Napoleon
of Bootblacks or the Alexander of
Chimneysweeps than a briefless and
shallow-pated attorney, who, like ne
cessity, knows no law-watching for
victims in an unswept chamber
where cobwebs in dusty magnifcence
hang, and there to exc out a miser-
able existence when he might have
been happy behind the pillow or opu-
lent behind the counter"
In other words don't get into the
wrong box.
Applied and paraphrased to fit the
case of very useful and eminent
citizen of the commonwealth of
Michigan who would move into new
sphere and shine in the hall of fame
it might read thus:
1t is better-infinitely better-to
be the Alexander Hamilton of the
automobile world or the Thomas JEFF
fcrson of munitions factory than
an unequipped figurehead in the Uni
ted States senate, who, like too many
of his confreres, is a stranger to
statescraft-wearing an ill-fitting to-
ga in a historic chamber where
craftsmanship truly abounds, and
there to be numbered among the me-
diocrities and exc out an inglorious
career when he might have continued
to be of pre-eminent industrial use
fulness to country in a field where
he belonged.

The statute of limitation does not
run against this class of offenses.
Prosecution may be set in motion
years afterward. Worst of all is the
effect of public sentiment which will
make it exceedingly unpleasant for
the class that made the war a pre-
text for fattening off the public. Make
no mistake about this. The profteer
will suffer in his reputation-will be
marked-lashed from pillar to post
by righteous indignation.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-07-26

This paper advocates the enforce
ment of the law against the sale of
liquor because it is the law of the
land. The man who advocates, and if
he is an afficer, winks at it's viola
ton, or, knowing it is violated, re-
fuses to enforce the law against the
sale of liquor, has no right to invoke
the law if some one steals his purse.
He has no more right to expect the
law against theft to be enforced than
the law against selling liquor. He
would be illogical and make himself
ridiculous.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-07-26

If Sheriff McManus thinks it will
promote his reelection to the office
of sheriff by winking at liquor law
violations in Leavenworth he is ma
king the very mistake which will
bring about his defeat if he again
offers himself for reelection. He
made the remark, "If there is any
law violations in Chelan county, |
always know where to look for the
criminal; he is in Leavenworth."
Perhaps if he would help to enforce
the law in Leavenworth some law
violators from Wenatchee would not
congregate in Leavenworth. They
evidently know the law against the
illegal sale of liquor is not enforced
in Leavenworth. Do they get their
tip at the county seat?
