ing. Under rush of buying orders, oil

the rules of the exchange.

The excitement in the coffee market
was due to sensational strength in
prices in Brazil. with unprecedented ad
vanced reported in futures at Santos.
These gains were attributed to bulish
views on peace prospects and small

SENATOR POINDEXTER

One of the most rapidly developing
personalities in the United States is
Miles Poindexter, the junior represen-
tative of the State of Washington.
He figures prominently in the con-
test over the League of Nations. In
fact he started the discussion going
by a notable address to the Senate on
February 10, when he made a deter
mined attack upon the proposed COW
enant.
The Senator is also promoting leg
islation, which promises to be enacted
soon, to do away with the unjust dis
ordinations in railroad tariff rates
which have prevailed all over the
country to the advantage of seabOard
cities and the disadvantage of inland
communities. As is well known the
railroads, in fighting water transport
~tation, have given abnormally low
rates to tidewater terminals and then
assessed their losses upon inland cities
by means of excessive tariffs.
Senator Poindexter is a southernor
by birth, coming from the state of
Tennessee, altho he has spent most of
his life in the Northwest. He was
a prosecuting attorney n the State of
' ashington; later judge Of the su-
perior court; served a term in the
lower house Of Congress, and then
entered the Senate from Washington
in 1911.-Detroit (Mich.) Journal.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-09-05
REVOLUTION, NO-THAT WAY
MADNESS LIES

When we read about the food prof.
teering, and all the stealing that was
going on during the government ac-
tivities incident t. the war, and are
then told that the war, made some
thousands of new millionaires, the
first impulse is, to turn bolsheyik and
help hang all these unconscionable
stoundrels who fatten off the govern
rent, which is only another name for
the people. We even do not wonder
that some very good and sensible peo-
pie have avowed bolshevism as a cure
for the evils that beset this country.
And yet. when we reflect coolly, over
what would happen if this govern
ment was overthrown, we fall back on
the incontrovertible fact that poor
laws are better than no laws at all.
Scratch the skin of the average man
and you viii find the savage. If the
law restraints were removed in this
country, over night, one half the PEG
pie in this so called highly civilized
nation would become savages and turn
to loot, the torch, murder, rape and
every imaginable kind of savagery.
The conditions would be worse than
they are described in Russia. Your
civilized mar when his evil instincts
are aroused, is just as much worse
than the savage as the white mar is
better than the savage under normal
conditions. When we revolve this
picture in our mind we conclude we
would rather put up with the ills we
have than fly to those that would fol-
low the removal of law restraints. No,
the avenue to higher and better things
is long and the progress slow. En-
couraged tho, by the progress we have
made in the last $50 years, by com
parison with other where's in the
world, we are sustained by the hope
that still further progress on the road
ahead lies along peaceful and orderly
lines of government.

FIVE CARS OF DRESSED POUL-
TRY SEIZED IN SPOKANE

According to dispatches in the daily
press 10000 pounds of dressed poul'
try that had been in cold storage since
last October and November was seized
in Spokane this week by federal au-
thorities. That it was held in stor-
age to affect prices there is not the
slightest doubt. Most of it is be-
lieved to be already unfit for human
food. Whether it was held unlaw-
fully is to be tried out in the courts.
OF course the owners have made a
profit by with holding it. They sold
other like goods at a price above what
it would have been if this had been
put on the Spokane market just be-
fore the holidays last year. Those
who resort to such methods to make
money ought to be considered and
treated as public enemies. That
would be one way to prevent the
growth of bolshevism.
