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 go 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 if things
go contrary to our views the country
will go to the demnition bow wows.
We read in the history of our country
that a hundred and forty years ago
partisans thought, and some oven put
theft 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.
The High Cost of living
We commend the reading of the ar-
tide on the high cost of living on the
fourth page of this week's 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 foodstuffs keeps up it may be
necessary to put an embargo on the
further exportation 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 sendine
millions of dollars to Europe to help
war sufferers but neglect to take into
account the suffering of our own peo
ple. The suffering will increase as
winter advances.
Anyhow, read the statistics of our
exports as compared with former years,
not forgetting to take into account that
1916 was a short crop year all over
this country.
Booze Measures Lost in [very Precinct
Initiative measures 18 and 24 lost in
every precinct in Chelan county accord
ing to the returns as printed in the
Wenatchee World of Wednesday. The
majority against varies from 19 against
to nothing, for to 12{against and 11 for
at Wenatchee laks. It is too early to
say positively but it is not believed
that either 18 or 24 received a majority
in a single county in the state. If
anything was needed to convince those
who are promoting the wet propaganda
that Washington is dry and means to
remain so it would seem the election
of last Tuesday ought to convince them
of the futility of Making any further
effort to put the beer and liquor busi
ness on a legal footing in the state of
Washington.
Well, we saved the country again
last Tuesday and now we are ready to
tackle the next job that presents itself.
Let us make plans from now on to the
end that we will hive a cleaner and
better town next year. We are told
by those who make scientific study of
all that surrounds us in life that noth
ing ever standi itill. We grow better
or worse as time rolls his ceaseless
course. Let us make for better living
conditions in Leavenworty in all that
makes life worth living. If we do not
try and make it better it will take the
opposite course in town life.
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 it? 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 Europe?
Are they still killing each other? What
about Doubrodja? Whose got it to
day? What are they doing at Goritza?
What is Gen. Grabalotzki doing to the
Bulgarians? And Gen. Strutzka, that
gallant, fighting Teutonic leader who
was so close on the heels of the Ser
bians when the war dispatches ceased
to adorn the first page. Did he get
'em? Those thousands of Russian,
French, Italian, German and Rouman
ian prisoners? Who's got 'em? Ver
dunl We'd almost forgot about
Verdun. Who's got Verdun? 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
news? And Yon Hindenburg! What
new strategy is he employing?
First thing you know we'll lose track
of the whole scrapping outfit. Also
our pronouncing voc-a-bullery is gel
ting rusty. For the past two years we
have been reserving the hours from
8 to lip. m. to reading and digesting 1
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.
Willson's Re-Election Conceded by 172
Votes.
We have just time to say, helore
printing this week's Echo that Mr.
Wilson has been re-elected. 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 Pissident Wilson this country
will continue in the march of progress
and prosperity-etowing 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 Dry Wave Gathering strength
Up to last Tuesday, if we are cor
rectly informed, eighteen states had
bai.ishcd 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 tfone dry pile up evidence in fa
vor of the dry state. Arkansas last
Tuesday went dry the second time in
side of four years. It 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.
From now on for the next few weeks
politicians who take deep interest in
the game of politics will try and explain
why their predictions failed to come
true. "He kept us out of war," and
"prosperity," and a number of other
reasons are given lor the democratic
slant of things.
Echo want ads bring quick results.

SEVEN MEN WERE KILLED
MORE THAN FIFTY WOUNDED
in Everett Riot Last Sunday—l. W. W's.
Blamed for Firing First Shot-
Wholesale Arrests
In a riot that occurred on the Ev
erett water front last Sunday afternoon
at least seven men were killed outright
and it is claimed others fell into the
water and their bodies were not re
covered. At least fifty were wounded.
Five or six seriously. Between five
hundred and a thousand shots were
fired by the rioters and the Everett
officers and citizens. 250 in one boat
and ISO in another left Seattle for Ev
erett. When they tried to land they
were told by the sheriff of Snohomish
county that they could not hold street
meetings in Everett. Other accounts
say the sheriff told the men they could
not land in Everett. The shooting
started from the statement made by
the sheriff. An excited I. W. W. is
reported to have said, "The hell we
can't,' 1 and began shooting. The
shooting then became general and was
kept up ten minutes, when the boat
began backing off from the wharf, and
the shooting ceased. The boat with
the dead and wounded I. W. W's.
went back to Seattle, followed by the
other boat with 150 I. W. W's. aboard.
On arrival at Seattle all were placed
under arrest and will be tried, it is re
ported, on a charge of murder
The sheriff receiyed two wounds,
not serious. Two other citizens were
killed and some twenty wounded.
The trouble between the I. W. W's.
and the Everett authorities began last
spring when the shingle weavers' strike
occurred. The striking weavers beat
up some men who had taken the
places of strikers. The city deter
mined to protect the strike breakers in
their right to work unmolested. The
I. W. W's. held street meetings and the
Reds, those who believe in shedding
blood to gain their point, urged the
use of force. Their papers also helped
to stir up trouble by urging the men
to resist the ordinance prohibiting
street speaking. Last Sunday was the
day decided on to make a descent on
Everett. When the boats left Seattle
Everett officers were advised of the de
sign and prepared to meet the boats at
the wharf.
Prosecuting attorney O. T. Webb,
of Snohomish county, and his deputy,
Clifford Newton, returned Monday
night from Seattle, where they con
lened with Prosecutor Alfred Lundin,
of King county, regarding the manner
of handling the trials of the 285 I. W.
Ws. now confined in Seattle jails.
Webb said Monday that no decision was
reached, and that the matter will be
given careful study before any action
is taken. However, it is probable that
some of the men will be tried in the
Snohomish county courts and some in
King county courts.
The Snohomish county jail could
not handle such a crowd of prisoners,
and if all demanded separate jury trials,
as is expected, it would be impossible
to try them in the local courts. With
eight or nine judges sitting in the
King county superior court, together
with the two in Everett, the time for
hearing all the cases will be greatly
decreased. Extreme difficulty in get
ting impartial juries is expected. It
will cost thousands of dollars to try
these cases, and the time it will re
quire cannot be estimated.
Webb and Lundin considered the
questions as to what charge should be
preferred against the I. W. W., where
they should be tried and whether un
der state or federal laws. Webb will
return to Seattle to confer again with
Lundin Tuesday. He has been un
able to campaign since Sunday, as he
has been busy on the I. W. W. case
and in answering the innumerable
questions regarding election, the pros
ecutor's office being the general in
formation bureau.
Mrs. Edith Frenette, the I. W. W.
agitator who has been at liberty for
some weeks on $1,000 bail on a
charge of unlawful assembly, is in a
Seattle jail at present and will be
charged with assault in the first degree.
According to reports of eye-witnesses, |
Mrs. Frenette attempted to shoot j
Sheriff Mcßae as he was driven past
the crowd at the Great Northern ira<:ks
10 the hospital. A man knocked up
her gun before she could shoot, it is
alleged. She will probably be brought
to Everett in a few days.
The Prosecutor of Snohomish county
says all who can be identified as having
taken part in the shooting will be
charged with murder.
It has not yet been decided whether
the industrial workers charged with
murder will be tried in King or Sno
homish county. Both counties have
jurisdiction, it is stated.
Mrs. Lorna Mahler, wife of Secretary
Herbert L. Mahler, Mrs. Edith Fre
nette and Mrs Joice Peters are under
arrest and Judge Dikeman refused to
release them. They will be turned
over to Snohomish county.
Scores of Everett citizens who were
in the fight, or eyewitnesses inspected
the prisoners Monday, in the city jails
and hospitals. Nearly a dozen pointed
out the following as men who had used
revolvers on board the Verona: Ed.
Roth, known to Seattle police as an
I. W. W. ringleader; Albert Scribner,
John Barry, Robert Mulholland, aged
18; and Dan J. McCarthy. At the
public morgue, Felix Baron and Hugo
Certot, two of the five I. W. W. killed
in the battle were identified as being
previous visitors in Everett.
