The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-12-20
ARE THE AMERICAN WORKMEN
REALLY "DUMKOPFS?"

Alexander Strumitski, recently from
Polish Russia, says if the laboring
men of the United States will just
follow his advice they will soon own
this country. He says they made it
just what it is and it rightfully be-
longs to them.
Hans bunker Strump, who has not
been away from Prussia long enough
to pronounce Washington correctly,
says "the American workingmen are
the greatest fools on earth. They do
not know how to make use of their
freedom. They could own the earth
if they only had sense enough to see
their opportunities. Where he came
FROM" he naively remarks, at was i'm
possible. The privileged few own all
the wealth, control the government
and employ soldiers to keep the work
ingmen down. Here the working men
are we'll off. Have as much to say in
tn government as the rich, and need
have no fear of soldiers. They can
take what they want. They do not
have to ask for it or work for it. Be
cause they do not make use of their
opportunities he says they are all
'Dumkopfs."
Neither Strumitski or Strumph are
American citizens. Both took .advan-
tage of their foreign citizenship to
escape military service in the war with
Germany. They frankly stated they
came here to escape military duty in
the country from which they came and
because there was freedom in this
country for poor men. Both said they
We're trying to help the working men
of this country to better their condi-
ton and open their eyes to their op-
portunities. Both have been engaged
in agitating. Both had contempt for
American working men and continu-
ally talked about the great opportuni-
ties the working men had here, and
which to them they did not seem to
have sense enough to take advantage
Of
Strumitski and Strumpf are only
two of thousands that come to this
country to lead the American working
man to the light. 1t seems never to
occur to our own working men that if
these agitators really knew more than
they themselves do why have they
not done something for their own peo-
pie. Why do they have to come to
America to put their theories into
practice. Is it not more than likely
that they tried to make a living in
their own country without working
by their wits-and failed. In the
country from which they came a man
has to'work if he wants to live. Wits

Whether this is the first time he has
been called on to join man and wo-
man in the bonds of matrimony he
did not say, but he says he did join
them so that only a court can pull
them apart.

the county auditor Mrs. Champson
gave Spokane as her residence.

Pastor Is an Officer

WEEHAWKEN, N. j., July 20-The
North Hudson branch of the National
Security League was organized in this
city last night. This branch bands to-
gcther citizens Of Weehawken, Union
Hill, Hoboken, West New York, North
Bergen and Jersey City. The members
are pledged to work for the strength
ening of the American morale and to
combat covert disloyalty in this part of
New Jersey.
That the suppression Of un-American
newspapers will be one Of the tasks
which the branch will assume was in
dicated by the speech of Alfred E. Hen
derson, president Of the Henderson
School of Oratory Of New York City,
who was elected chairman. He stated
that one aim of the new North Hudson
branch will be "to make America safe
for democracy by saving America from
Hearstocracy."
1--WE now have the spectacle Of
prominent newspaper proprietor hiding
under the skirts Of the government he
SO scurrilously attacked not so long
ago." said the chairman "He pretends
70 support the government, for he
would like to be Governor of New York.
- Il do not say that every man who
reads the Hearst papers is pro-Ger-
man, but l dc say that every pro-Ger-
man reads the Hearst papers,"
Chairman Henderson's denunciation
OF Hearst publications was loudly ap-
plauded. Many Of those present who
became charter members of the branch
last night wore the coat lapel buttons
inscribed ~ Do Not Read Hearst Pa
pers." 1t was stated to-day that Lieu
tenant Claude w; Boyntan, 7o William
Street, New York City, who designed
the buttons, had received orders for
10000 Of the enti-Hearst emblcms from
this section of New Jersey alone.

Roosevelt Answer
Expected Next Week

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, July
2o.-Although most of the delegates to
the Republican state convention had
returned to their homes to-day, few
remained to rest over the week end.
From them was learned for the first
time the history of the Roosevelt for
Governor movement which resulted,
during the convention, in the crcula-
ton of the round robin requesting
the Colonel to enter the primaries and
in the telegram of Attorney General
Merton E. Lewis to Mr. Roosevelt that
he would withdraw from the contest
if the Colonel would consent to the
circulation of his nomination petitions
The movement began to take shape
several months ago, when former Sena-
tor Edgar 7. Bracket, one OF its
origlnators, who had not been on politi-
cally friendly terms with Mr. Roose-
yelt for years, made his peace with the
Colonel 1t did not assume definite
proportions until about two weeks ago.
At that time several Republican lead
ers, including Henry w. Taft. Nicholas
Murray Butler. J. R. Sheffield and
Harvey D. Hinman, met at the Uni
versity Club in New York. They de-
cided that the state political situation
needed some radical treatment in order
to prevent split in the party They
neld several conferences, the net re-
suit of which was the conclusion that
a determined attempt be made to have
Colonel Roosevelt enter the primaries.
The movement was spread quietly
throughout the state until it centred
at secret conference last Wednesday
night in Saratoga. At this we're Will
lam Barnes. United States Senators
Wadsworth and Calder. William L.
Ward, State Senator Theodore Douglas
Robinson, nephew of the Colonel
and manager of the Lewis campaign;
Mr.. Brackctt, Henry W. Taft, DR.. But
ler, Mr.. Hinman. Horace wilkinson,
former Governor Horace White, Mr..
Sheffield and Phillip Elting. The
round-robin idea and its development
during the convention was the out
growth Of that gathering.
Mr.. Sheffield probably will present
the petition to Colonel Roosevelt next
week. An authoritative statement Of
the Roosevelt position is not expected
before he receives it. In the meantime
it will continue in circulation.
In the post-eonvention gossip it was
stated that Johns. King, national com
mitteeman from Connecticut, who is
one of the Colonel's >confidants. was
likely to be influential in the ultimate
decision.

Hinr7an Comes Out
For Bench, Indicating
Roosevelt Will Rur,

ALBANY, July 2o.-Harold j. Hin
man, first deputy attorney general, and
until the Republican convention at
Saratoga an aspirant for the party's
nomination for Attorney General. an
nounced to-day that he would seek the
nomination for Supreme Court Justice.
His, decision caused local political
leaders to profess their belief that
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt would en-
ter the primary contest against Gov
ernor Whitman.
"A new situation" Mr.. Hinman said,
"has arisen out Of the convention at
Saratoga. l understand that in such
new situation Attorney General Lewis
is likely to be a candidate for re-
nomination for his present Office. and
Of course would not be a candidate
against him."
Attorney General Lewis. who was
the chief rival of Governor Whitman
for the nomination for Governor, an
nounced at Saratoga that he would
withdraw from the contest if Colonel
Roosevelt would be candidate.

Alien Denied Divorce

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 2o.--Judge
Robert Moss directed to-day that the
divorce proceedings brought by Mrs.
William NJ Zollner against her hus-
band. who is an officer in the German
army, be abated until the declaration
of peace. Judge Moss ruled, despite
tho insstence of Mrs. Zollner to the
contrary, that both parties to the suit
were aliens.
Mrs. Zollner, in her complaint, al
legged her husband had treated her cru
ely, and claimed that he had violated
his parole in order to leave England at
the beginning of the war. A SON, who
was q midshipman, was asked some
time ago to resign from the Naval
Academy

Bristol Type Plane
Abandoned by u. S.

BUFFALO, July 2o.--orders were
issued to-day by Archer A. Landon,
chief of the production board Of the
United States Aircraft Board, to the
officials of the Curtiss Airplane and
Motor Corporation, to discontinue the
manufacture of nirplnnes of the Bristol
type equipped with Liberty motor.
Recent flying tests, Mr.. Landon said,
have demonstrated that the machine is
overpowered and not of military value,
lacking maneuvring ability and not
having sufficient speed for war pur-
poses.
The Curtiss company is building five
types of airplanes, in addition to the
Bristol. They include two kinds Of
flying boats, mail service plane and
two training types. To these will be
added in the near future a single seat
ed fighting machine of tried type and
another modelled after the Caproni, an
Italian three-motor bombing plane.

THE WAR LORDS MUST
BE PUNISHED

The ex-kaiser and his associates
who are responsible for, the world
war are now facing almost GER
derers. The sentiment seems to
be the same thruout the world except
derers. The sentiment seems to be
ing in the central powers that they
are just plain, brutal murderers and
that no settlement of the war that
could be made, however favorable to
the allies, il it did not administer
physical punishment to the ex-kaiser
and his associates all down to the
prison managers, would be satisfact-
DRY.
Wilhelm and Hindenburg are in
Holland hiding from the wrath of
the world and claim protection from
extraditions under international law.
When they started the war they
violated all the international law
that suited their convenience and are
therefore outlaws In every legal
sense. The world is demanding that
they be punished like any other
murderers and Holland herself is
asking their unwelcome guests to
depart. They decline to do so and it
is likely that it will only be short
time until they will be arrested and
taken before a tribunal to be con-
demned. In the meantime the peace
conference is supposed to be work
ing with a plan by which the central
empires will be required to give up
long list of officers who will also
be tried and condemned to death for
carrying out the orders of their sup
errors.

the sword OF. CORVALLIS and keep it
for his own. When Grant had con-
Quered Lee at Appomatox, he de-
clined the jeweled sword of the van
pushed hero. When Lincoln visited
Richmond after its fall, he went
about shaking hands with the COM
mon people. Now we want it to 60
down in history that Wilson received
the plaudits of the world at Paris
and then went to the army camps to
shake hands with the men and to
eat bread and bacon and drink coffee
from tin cup while chatting with
the doughboys clad in soiled khaki
and heavy boots. We wish it were
possible for million of our men to
bring home the memory of shaking
hands with the president on the
Rhine enroute to Berlin. These may
seem little things in themselvs, but
they live longer in the hearts of men
than Bismark's triumphal entry into
Berlin with all the military leaders
in their glory, after prostrating
France in 1871.

TO REPEAL THE
CASUALTY INSURANCE

Petitions are being circulated In
Bingham county asking legislators to
repeal or amend the present casualty
insurance act by which all employers
of labor in this state are required to
carry accident insurance for en-
ployes. Most of. the firms and per-
sons carrying such insurance as they
have done now for year, paid for
it cheerfully, with the understanding
that it afforded safe, prompt means
of relief for the workman's family
when his wages stopped due to ac-
cident, but the way it works out in
practice, there has been great deal
of complaint about it being slow and
unsatisfactory, and it is claimed that
if a workman Is only incapacitated
for short time, he gets nothing at
all, even tho he lose his wages or
salary for a week or SO and is at
a disadvantage for a longer time.
Employers insist that in such in
stances they have paid their money
and get nothing. If the law provides
that citizen shall pay out his money
and receive nothing at all in return,
it is a very poor law and they do not
propose to operate under it If they
can repeal it. Employers seem to
have paid their good money for a
myth or a theory, and the farmers
are the only ones who are not at
fected by it. Employers have read
and been told that this was the law,
that they must pay their money to
somebody, and that the something
they were going to get would be for
a noble cause and worth all it cost
and more. The employer has fallen
for the theory paid his good money
waited to see what he got, and 1t ap-
pears that what they really receive
after an accident, is information that
this particular kind of accident does
not come under the provisions of the
act, and the person injured will re-
ceive little or nothing.
Like the direct primary law, it
looks good in theory, but it gets the
wrong results. It is now the farmers
turn to kid" the so-called business
man about buying blue. sky and
theories and learning the value Of it
afterwards.
