A LIVE ADDRESS Socialist Orator Attracts a Large Audience. SCORE PEOPLE, NOTCAPITALISTS Says Tlie Voters Of The County Should Take a Hand In Gov i eriunental Affairs Seven Men Control All. Owing to the inability of Eugene Wood to arrive here last evening Ed ward Cantrell, of Los Angeles, ad' dressed a large ana enthusiastic crowd at the Palace theatre last night. Mr. Cantrell chose as his sub ject, "How We are Gouged," and that he handled the topic with the utmost ease was apparent from the applause t that frequently interrupted his re-marks. Mr. Cantrell went back and trac ed exploitation of the people down through the domination by the priest hood, .through monarchist despotism to the present time, which he charac- terized as an industrial domination. He defined our present form of gov ernment as an aggregation of bu reaus for the promotion of trade. A few people, he said, control all of our productive enterprises. Taking a recent statement of John Moody, in McClure's Magazine, that seven men practically control the United States by reason of cumula tive wealth, as a text, be pointed out that these men now own the fac tories, the distributing centers and transportation, and In this wny have the lives and destines of the people In their handB. He elicited much applause by the statement that Rockefeller has built up in his life a larger personal for tune than could have been accumu lated by Adam and Eve had they liv ed to the present day, an laid up $300 every day of their lives. Mr. Cantrell quoted the prophesy of Carl Marx that through the law of cumulative returns, monopoly eventually will be extended to all lines of industry, and stated this prophesy had become history. The condition which now exists, he said, is dangerous as history has proved that no civilization can long survive the concentration of wealth In a few hands. "With monopoly on one hand, and Increasing wants of the people on tine other," said Mr. Cantrell, "but two courses are open either the v people must go down before monop oly, or they must get together and . oppose It by force of numbers. Or ganization must be met with organi zation." Socialism of industry, he said. Is the only hope that the people have to combat monopoly and Its accom panying concentration of power in the hands of a few men. LOCAL NEWS.

Or.. Jan. 27. Two strong .luuicatlons that the Chicago & Northwestern Is preparing to In- vado Oregon territory with deep water terminals at Portland and Coos Bay have dovoloped In the last few days. It Is gouerally known that President W. A. llardncr, of the Hughitt system, has been In the North Pacific Coast territory for some time, but his movements have been 'guarded so carefully that even Northwestern line ortncluls have not been advised of them. The other significant feature is that a group of New York capitalists who are known to be hniuMu-glove with the Northwestern line has been picking up valuable terminal property at Coos Bay within the past fortnight. President Gardner has beeu visit ing Puget Sound, British Columbia, Idaho and Montana points for the past two weeks and Is accompanied by heads of engineering, operating and traffic departments. Somo of the members of the party are known to have been In Portland, but their presence was not revealed to locul Northwestern people. The recent close trackage arrange ments between the Northern Paclllc and the Chicago & Northwestern which gives the former direct Chica go connections presageB still closer ties in the way or allowing the Northwestern to reach tho coast. The latter road, owning a controlling In terest In. the Northern Paclllc will furnish easy access to Portland and uget Sound terminals, whil the pro jected cross-state line will awn the way to reaching Coos Bay terminals. where supposedly Northwestern agents have been buying heavily of late. While the people of Douglas and Coos counties have been disappoint ed frequently aB tho result of ground less railroad rumors, they regard the above Item as encouraging nt this tlmo. Especially Is this true In face of the recent visit of several North western railroad men to HoBeburg. Whtlo not talking for publication, it waB authentically stated today that three men, all connected with the Northwestern Hystem, have boon spending considerable tlmo In this vicinity, and only recently loft for points on Coos Bay. As haB been previously publish ed, ' the Northwestern Interests are active In Idaho, Indicating that they contemplate extending their line westward, vouching uoseburg mud terminating at Cooa Bay. Such a routo Is considered foaslble, and In direct accord with the previous an- nounaementa of the Northwestern company. BROWN LIKKLY A CANDID TK. Great pressure Is being brought tn bear on O.
